Arrowhead Game Studios on certainly one of the update’s notable changes:
[One] addition I need to spotlight in regards to the Escalation of Freedom update is that we’re making changes to mitigate the issue of grief kicking in Helldivers 2. While it’s our hope that players engage with the sport in good faith and sportsmanship, we do recognize that some players are using the team kicking to grief others.
To assist improve this now we have implemented a system where if a player is kicked, they may spawn right into a latest session because the host with all the team’s loot from their previous session. All items can now be picked up by the player before extraction. The squad doing the kicking will see a message within the chat widget that a player has been kicked, yet their loot stays unchanged.
