Helldivers 2 update 1.000.305: Enemy spawn fix, stability improvements, and more

Helldivers 2's latest update is live on all platforms and comes with a crucial fix for an enemy spawn bug in the Endurance Peace order mission. While the last few updates for Helldivers have been quite substantial, adding balance changes for the new Warbond weapons, Stratagems, and the optional PSN login, the recent update is on the lighter end of the scale.

Instead of any major balance changes or new features, the latest title update only adds a specific fix for one of the order missions, which most players reported was bugged following the previous update. Apart from the bug fix, the update introduces some under-the-hood optimizations.

Here's a look at the official patch notes for Helldivers 2 1.000.305.
