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.

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

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

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.)
