🛠️ PATCH 01.000.202 ⚙️
🌎 Overview
This update includes
- Stability fixes

We have updated the stats UI for weapons to take into account any explosive damage done by them. This is to give weapons that do damage with explosive projectiles a more fair representation in the UI. Most notably affected is the PLAS-1 Scorcher.
🔧 Fixes
- Fixed some crashes that occurred when deploying to mission.
- Fixed some crashes that occurred during extraction and right after it.
- Fixed crashes that could occur if the squad deployed a large amount of support weapons.
- Fixed various crashes that could occur during gameplay.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when using heat based weapons.
- Fixed crashes which could occur if a player died while using the jetpack.
- Fixed crash which could occur when large volumes of enemies were present.
- Fixed crash which could occur when the player picked up a snowball.
- Fixed crash which could occur when completing an objective.
- Fixed hang that could occur while navigating the social menu.
- Picking up Medals and Super Credits will no longer lock the player in place.

Looks like we may soon be getting more things to buy using samples and requisition slips. The Catalog Expansion has no cost, and buying it does nothing. The Upgrade Effect text must be null for Catalog Expansion, that field just shows the effect for whichever upgrade was previously selected.
Edit: It's been acknowledged on the official Discord, looks like it's unintended:
ALERT: ROGUE ITEM DETECTED. The Ministry of Truth has confirmation that a rogue item called the "catalog expansion" is temporarily visible in the Ship Management menu and, in accordance with regulations, we instruct all Helldivers to avoid this rogue item until further notice. The Ministry of Truth cannot confirm the reliability or safety of this item, nor can they confirm its origin.
