Helldivers 2 Known Issues, Workarounds and Fixes

Weapon customization is unavailable for the chosen weapon or character level

Customization unlocks at player level 10, applies only to primary weapons and is not available on every weapon. After the character requirement is met, individual weapons must also earn their own levels through mission use. Check those distinct requirements before confusing a missing customization option with the acknowledged attachment-preview issue. [1]

Documented steps

1. At level 10 or above, use the Super Destroyer Armory, select the primary weapon and open Customise. Check that the weapon itself supports customization and has unlocked the desired attachment level. [1]

Attachment statistics do not change in the purchase preview

Some attachment previews fail to update their displayed statistics until the attachment is purchased and equipped. Arrowhead includes that behavior in the confirmed-issues list. This is separate from the level requirements for unlocking weapon customization. The issue entry does not promise a refund or say every attachment is affected, and purchasing an unwanted attachment solely to test the preview is not a necessary troubleshooting step. [2] [1]

R-4 Hyena may lose magazines when a reload is interrupted

The R-4 Hyena has a specific confirmed report: an interruption during its reload animation may cause magazine loss. Keep the weapon and interruption condition attached to the report rather than presenting all reload behavior as defective. Arrowhead’s published entry does not state a fixed build or a verified workaround. [2]

Melee kills are missing from end-of-mission or career statistics

Arrowhead acknowledges incorrect melee-kill counting in both the end-of-mission summary and career statistics. A low recorded total can therefore match a documented statistics issue. The source does not provide a reliable method to reconstruct missing totals, a fix date or a confirmed workaround. It also should not be expanded into a claim that every mission reward is missing. [2]

Some stratagem weapons display an incorrect call-in time

Arrowhead’s known-issues list acknowledges that some stratagem weapons show the wrong call-in time in the ship UI or during a mission. The same entry explicitly says the actual call-in time is unaffected. Treat the display as the documented problem; this entry does not establish that the weapon’s real deployment timing changed. The publisher lists no player-side repair for the display in that item. [2]
