Patch Notes – 01.000.404
Error, 404 patch not found.
All kidding aside, Patch 404 just released alongside the new Level 5 Ship Module upgrades (see below).
The major fix this patch is to the Superior Packing Methodology Ship Module, a Level 4 upgrade that significantly improves the ammo economy of Support Weapons. This Module was released a few months ago and never seemed to work properly.
Resupply Stratagem* boxes refill Support Weapons with the maximum number of carriable magazines.
*Only from the Resupply Stratagem, not ammo found around the map.
*Upgrades all boxes in the Resupply, fellow Helldivers get the benefit.
*Only upgrades Resupplies called down by the Helldiver with the Module.
Many players were initially confused because it wasn’t specified that it only affected boxes from the Resupply Stratagem, and not the ammo boxes found around the map. Arrowhead has acknowledged the issue and is prioritizing the development of a visual indicator to distinguish between Upgraded and Default Resupply Boxes.

| Morale Augmentation | – 35,000 – 250 – 200 – 20 | Reduces cooldown time for all Stratagems by 5%. |
| Streamlined Launch Process | – 30,000 – 250 – 200 – 25 | All Support Weapon Stratagems launch immediately once called in, reducing overall deployment time. |
| Cross-Platform Compatibility | – 35,000 – 250 – 200 – 30 | Mortar Sentries prioritize fire at marked targets. |
