Helldivers 2’s most frustrating rescue mission finally gets easier in latest patch

There’s no mission too great or too challenging for a squad of Helldivers, but one mission type in particular was so frustrating and difficult that the Helldivers 2 devs finally had to address it in the latest patch.

In patch 01.000.200, what’s easily the game’s biggest update to date, a huge list of balancing changes included much-needed relief for the “Retrieve Essential Personnel” missions. These missions, also known commonly as Escort missions, have notoriously been the most difficult mission type regardless of difficulty level.
