Arrowhead added a couple of extra bullet points to the list of changes we know are coming as part of Helldivers 2's big patch tomorrow over the weekend. The big one? The eruptor's finally getting its shrapnel back, and hopefully in a form that should make you less likely to accidentally do yourself in when you fire it.

That's just one of the little snippets of the notes for Patch 01.001.007 Arrowhead's shared, as it continues to build to the update dropping on September 17, followed by the Chemical Agents Warbond just a couple of days later.
