Helldivers II developer Arrowhead Studios is offering players a 50% XP and Requisition boost until the end of the weekend to address a bug preventing some players from earning rewards after missions. Deputy Game Director Sagar Beroshi confirmed that a fix is in the works and all players will receive the boost. Players can ensure they benefit from the boost by looking for the "Accounting Corrections" Game Master Effect. Despite some issues since its launch, the studio has been prompt in addressing them, with matchmaking currently being the main concern.
