Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios has finally explained why the third-person shooter's file size is so massive on PC, but unfortunately, there's no easy fix to rectify it. On the other hand – how many Helldivers 2 players are still using mechanical HDDs? They continue: "We cannot eliminate all duplication without making loading times for mechanical HDDs 10 times slower, and we do not feel that this is acceptable." "This does mean that loading times will get a bit worse for players using mechanical HDDs – it is unfortunate but unavoidable. However, Arrowhead is "very carefully weighing up the costs and tradeoffs of the options we have, and we'll be sure to find a better balance between loading times and installation size soon."
