Patch live and new store drop
A small update, 1.006.102, went live on April 14 and specifically added PS5 Low Energy Mode alongside various fixes across platforms. (mp1st.com) At the same time the Superstore lists the P‑92 Warrant pistol for 300 Super Credits as a Superstore‑exclusive (no Warbond or Medal requirement), and a teased Lumberer Exosuit — described as a cannon‑and‑flamethrower combo — could appear later if Arrowhead follows earlier hints.

Helldivers 2 got a live update on Tuesday, April 14, and the same day’s Superstore rotation put the P-92 Warrant pistol back on sale. (mp1st.com) (helldivers.wiki.gg) Update 1.006.102 adds a new Low Energy Mode on PlayStation 5, with the toggle placed under Settings, then Display and Performance, then Power Management. Arrowhead’s posted notes say the mode reduces console power use during play and idle states, lowers fan activity and system temperatures, and does not change online features or core gameplay performance. (mp1st.com) The same patch also lists Xbox-only fixes for game invites, desync, and loading problems when hosts invite several clients or when a blocked client hotjoins a host already grouped with another client. Arrowhead’s known-issues list for April 14 still includes missing audio for the Enthusiastic Mirth emote, a drone sound on the Double-Edged Sickle, and a softlock tied to Super Earth Armed Forces artillery shell insertion. (mp1st.com) The store item matters because the P-92 Warrant is not unlocked through a Warbond page or Medal spending. The Helldivers Wiki lists it as a Superstore purchase on the Force of Law page for 300 Super Credits during a 48-hour rotation. (helldivers.wiki.gg) That makes the Warrant part of the same limited-time shop system that Arrowhead has used for rotating gear, even as PlayStation says some earlier crossover items were later moved out of the Superstore and into the Acquisitions Center as a permanent Warbond. The current Warrant listing keeps the weapon in the rotating-currency lane instead. (playstation.com) (helldivers.wiki.gg) On paper, the Warrant is a burst-fire secondary with medium armor penetration, a 13-round magazine, and guided shots that can lock onto small, medium, and large enemies. The wiki says its lock-on reaches 60 meters and can be switched off for non-guided fire. (helldivers.wiki.gg) Separate reporting on Tuesday pointed to another item players are watching: the Lumberer Exosuit. FandomWire said Arrowhead had teased the EXO-51 Lumberer and described the older version as a heavy walker built around a cannon-and-flamethrower loadout. (fandomwire.com) (helldivers.fandom.com) Arrowhead has not posted a release date for the Lumberer in the official patch notes page, which still surfaces major entries like Machinery of Oppression 6.1.0 rather than a public article for 1.006.102. For now, the confirmed April 14 changes are the live patch and the Superstore weapon rotation already in front of players. (arrowhead.zendesk.com) (mp1st.com)
