Limited-Time XP Multiplier Introduced in Helldivers 2 Amidst Ongoing Fixes

Submitted by palulernmn on Mon, 02/19/2024 - 13:05

Arrowhead Game Studios, the developer behind Helldivers 2, has unveiled a temporary XP multiplier in response to a reward-related bug, currently live for a limited duration in the popular third-person shooter. Simultaneously, the team has released a new patch addressing various bugs, server optimizations, and quality-of-life enhancements, marking a pivotal moment for the game.

Despite being Arrowhead Game Studios' most successful release, boasting over 250,000 peak concurrent players on Steam alone, Helldivers 2 has faced server challenges in the past week due to the surge in player activity. A brief disruption on the Steam version even prompted a flood of messages on the official Discord server. However, with the release of the February 16 update, the servers seem to have stabilized. This update focuses on refining matchmaking, enhancing overall server stability, and resolving issues causing game crashes on PlayStation 5 and PC.

While these improvements are evident, known issues, including a reward-related bug affecting mission end rewards, still persist. In response, the deputy game director, Sagar Beroshi, shared a message on Helldivers 2's official Twitter account. The message revealed the activation of a 50% XP and Requisition gains multiplier, effective until Sunday, February 18. This temporary solution aims to address the ongoing rewards bug while the development team works on the next patch.

Players can identify the active XP multiplier by locating the "Accounting Corrections" Game Master Effect while on the Super Destroyer. Beroshi expressed gratitude to the Helldivers 2 community for their continuous support and patience during the team's efforts to resolve the game's issues. The community's response has been largely positive, with many commending Arrowhead Game Studios for implementing the XP multiplier over the weekend. Nevertheless, some players remain concerned about persistent matchmaking problems and server errors, prompting suggestions such as disabling cross-play and restarting the game, though challenges in finding matches persist for some players.
