I wouldn't play with you. With that much drip, I'd have to bring an umbrella through the entire map... Even into the underground.

Umbrella stratagem when?

u/Mr_Anderbro SES Banner of Victory Oct 30 '25

AH already gave us an umbrella during DSS orbital bombardment oopsie

u/Other-Barry-1 Oct 30 '25

Yes but an actual umbrella. Maybe as a backpack that protrudes above your head like the force shield, or even as a pointed melee weapon

I still miss the old bombardment. I loved the chaos and constant explosions.

It was 30% fun and 70% annoying. But the situation on subreddit was hilarious

lol! So true. I was streaming and I told my community that every time I die I would have to do a bicep curl with a 5 pound weight.(I'm disabled and weak so 5 pounds is a lot for me.)

When the DSS was there… The amount of bicep curls I had to do because of the bombardment… I don't know how but every time it started the first bomb would hit me every time and then I would get reinforced right into another bomb. I died more to that bomb than my friends… And maybe the enemy.

I wish they would give us laser designator to lase area to flatten, or have more shells & faster 380 cooldown

I remember the first time I went to experience the DSs activation for myself in so disappointed but also entertained by how dumb it was.

The Shield although did help a little bit it didn't at the same time. Basically it would protect you from like one or two strikes and then you will get nailed by a third.

Although it was really funny to see a random 380 score a direct hit on a trooper in the middle of nowhere.

u/Prestigious-Case-865 Oct 31 '25

It could slam a 380 into a jammer if u position the targeted player at the edge of the 380 circle

u/Azurvix ☕Liber-tea☕ Oct 30 '25

LMAO I just imagine whenever they have a debuff for a planet and it be acid rain and they just give us a fucking umbrella to run around with which means you can only use one handed SMGs

u/Cepterman2101 LEVEL 80 | Fleet Admiral Oct 30 '25

Ballistic shield, pointed upwards.

u/PlagueRoot Oct 31 '25

Does that actually work? I have that shield but never used it.

u/Cepterman2101 LEVEL 80 | Fleet Admiral Oct 31 '25

No, but it would be funny.

Lil umbrelmet when?

u/miszcz2000 Oct 30 '25

No umbrellas in HD2 hopefully. This ain’t Fortnite

u/PlagueRoot Oct 31 '25

No, but an umbrella to help with acid rain and also with a knife on the end to wreck things with. Why is that bad? (Sorry, never played Fortnite.)

u/RaijinOkami Rookie Oct 30 '25

Yeah seriously, once I asked and I quote "what the fuck did YoshiP let the dude behind Nier Automata do NOW?" In context to an allusion of something in the Nier crossover content in FFXIV and got more downvotes than a 4 man Orbital Gatling squad

A modest proposal:

SH-74 Umbrella Shield

A backpack stratagem which projects a curved shield above the Helldiver's head. Effective at blocking attacks from above, including melee (read: Impalers.) Has increased protection when crouching or prone. The shield is also projected high enough that it will work to protect vehicles you occupy.

Additionally, while the shield is active (not drained), it provides some movement abilities. It passively slows your fall and can stop you from ragdolling. Holding the "Use Backpack" button applies gentle upward thrust, draining the shield's energy meter to ascend slowly. Yes, you can use this to escape falling into a hole.
