Previously, a minor Helldivers 2 version 1.003 enhanced the Masters of Ceremony armors, now offering faster reloads and stronger melee attacks. The patch also added widespread crash fixes, improved enemy AI behavior, and better mission stability—especially in Leviathan encounters. Weapon handling and stratagem interactions have been refined, while a key fix ensures civilians no longer wrongly brand players as traitors.
Unfortunately, since the last patch, players have been experiencing several issues. The upcoming Helldivers 2 update 1.003.102 will address the remaining issues and bugs.
