Helldivers 2 is putting up huge numbers at the moment, partially thanks to a major collaboration with Halo–but one of the iconic Halo weapons in the ODST Warbond is causing the game to crash. Here’s what we know about the bug and how to avoid it.
The bug has been detailed under known issues in Helldivers 2’s Discord, and concerns the ODST MA5C Assault Rifle. “When on the bridge, if all players equip this weapon from the armory and then the host leaves it will cause your game to crash,” the bug report reads. The crash is currently impacting players on all platforms, and Arrowhead is investigating a fix.
For now, thankfully the crash is not too difficult to get around. To avoid any possibility of this crash ocurring, Arrowhead recommends equipping the ODST from the loadout instead of the armory.
The studio has also notified of another issue impacting Warbonds–Helldivers 2’s equivalent of a battle pass. Arrowhead has warned that players may be unable to spend Super Credits while they are holding onto a Warbond Token. Until the issue is resolved, players will have to choose between saving their Warbond Token for a future Premium Warbond and holding off on purchases, or using it on a current Warbond they don’t own yet and spending Super Credits as usual.
The Halo: ODST Warbond was Helldivers 2’s first “Legendary Warbond,” rewarding players with more items than a standard one–including four weapons, two armor sets, and plenty more. The Halo crossover dropped on the same day as Helldivers 2’s Xbox launch, a combination that has brought a lot of new and returning players to the game.
