Helldivers 2 Fan Spots An Annoying Detail In One Of The Best Stratagems

Summary The Precision Orbital Strike in Helldivers 2 has a misaligned icon, a minor issue that some players find annoying.

Despite the error, Arrowhead Studios is known for swift updates addressing bugs and adding content, keeping the game fresh and engaging.

While the Stratagem is valuable early on, players may transition to more powerful assets as they progress through the game's difficulties.

All Helldivers 2 players have likely used the Precision Orbital Strike during a particularly perilous moment in the early hours of the game but it's unlikely that they've seen one glaring mistake with the powerful bomb. While it may serve as users' first unlockable Stratagem, the POS is still regarded by many as being one of the best abilities in the game due to its passive explosive payload and general accuracy when it comes to destroying larger foes. However, looking at the Stratagem a little close will reveal a glaring issue that's difficult to unsee.

Posted to Reddit by user Optimal_Hedgehog4068, the Helldiver pointed out that the icon for the Orbital Precision Strike is misaligned as the downward-facing arrow points slightly to the right of the center of the dome.

It may be difficult to see from afar, especially when running around a planet battling squads of Automatons and Terminids, but when zoomed in the mistake is very noticeable. Most of the community has playfully noted how much they hate knowing about the error, with many calling on developer Arrowhead Studios to fix a problem that's made the game "unplayable."

Helldivers 2 Is Always Getting Fixed

Every Week Bugs That Aren't Terminids Are Squashed

While the misaligned icon may annoy some Helldivers 2 players, it's easy to see Arrowhead Studios swiftly releasing some kind of update to fix the problem. The studio has a proven track record of releasing excellent patches that not only address the game's bugs but also add plenty of content to the overall experience. Some of the most exciting additions have even been left out of official patch notes, prompting the community to search for any new secrets and Easter Eggs the second an update is launched.

As for the Orbital Precision Strike, the Stratagem is widely regarded as being one of the best early-game assets to include in a loadout. Not only is it accessible to every player, but it's also an effective means of single-target elimination and crowd control thanks to its slight area-of-effect splash damage. As Helldivers rank up and earn more currency, it'll likely be replaced by something more powerful like the Orbital Laser Strike or the 500kg bomb that's generally more suited for dealing with more challenging difficulties.

Helldivers 2 remains one of the best games of 2024 so far as Arrowhead Studios continues to embrace the live-service model with excellent communication with the player base and consistent content roll-outs. What lies ahead for the game remains unknown but the community is still expecting the enemy faction known as the Illuminate to join the game in the near future. This comes after a prolonged period of battling the Automatons and Terminids, both of which have put up an excellent fight against Super Earth's forces.
