A new weekly update for Helldivers 2 has dropped at the usual time along with the official patch notes listing all the changes.
This update deals with an issue with the CE-27 Ground Breaker, an armor that was introduced with the Democratic Detonation Warbond. As announced through the game's official Reddit page by the developers, the armor launched with the Servo-Assisted passive instead of the Engineering Kit passive as advertised.
The patch reverts this mixup and the armor should have the correct passive ability. On top of that, this new version implements several fixes to improve the game's overall stability.
