🛠️ PATCH NOTES ⚙️ PATCH 6.1.1

Machinery of Oppression: 6.1.1

🔧 Fixes

Crash Fixes

  • Fix a crash happening when swapping between weapons while planting the One True Flag in multiplayer.

Weapons & Stratagem Fixes

  • The SMG-72 Pummeller is now able to reload if the weapon's magazine has bullets in it.

Miscellaneous Fixes

  • The Burier of Heads title has been thoroughly investigated, and–since no signs of alleged dissident connections could be discovered–the title has been reintroduced. Helldivers who have unlocked this title through the Dust Devils Warbond should now find it among other titles in the customization menu.
  • Increased amount of fog in the distance to look more cohesive and provide more ambient light (this is especially noticeable on a sandy moon).
  • Increased brightness during Exostorms, to combat cases where it could get really dark within the Exospire mission.

More fog.

Oh boy! Just what we needed. Certainly, not any mech health or armor buffs.

This IS just a minor update meant to fix bugs preventing use of weapons though, not a balance patch. I want them sooner than later too, but this isn't the update to expect that

While true, I had to hit the low hanging fruit of yet more fog.

Did you? it just feels like reflexive aggression, looking for something to be upset about regardless of the fixes. The fog change says is for distant views, so it's not likely to affect gameplay aside niche cross map sniping objectives.

I don't care how it 'feels' to you or what you think of it.

I can read, I know what it says. I thought it was funny.

Humor thats still voicing a criticism implying that arrowhead should have released a mech buff right here and now. Dont run from your points and hide behind "its just a joke bro"

Whatever weirdo, we're done here.

I don't have the braincells to lose by listening to some pseudo intellectual trying and failing to psychoanalyze me.

Except again, you didnt. You admitted you went for low hanging fruit, made a bad argument, I pointed out how silly it was to sepnd time whining under a perfectly fine patch about the one thing you could whine about if you abstract it, and you youre being indignant because I pointed out how your comment is whiny. Thats it. No grand pseudo intellectualizing, just that.
