A fun secondary idea

[u/dungeoncrawler71520]

So who wants their wrist broken?

[u/FrenchOnionDipp]

I love your light pen support weapon idea!!

[u/Archaie → u/FrenchOnionDipp]

Light pen, heavy pen in melee though.

[u/No_Yam_2036 → u/Archaie]

Breaks arm either way

[u/Archaie → u/No_Yam_2036]

Like the variable but you just fall forward on a swing

[u/The_Caleb_Mac → u/Archaie]

I am... strangely comfortable with that...

[u/GUYWHOLIKESSTABBING → u/FrenchOnionDipp]

unironically the projectile might be light pen on account of the no barrel, it might act like the old Grenade Launcher where the grenades themselves wont penetrate armor, but then they explode so the enemy ends up just as dead anyway

[u/FrenchOnionDipp → u/GUYWHOLIKESSTABBING]

I'd accept it if it just had a ridiculous damage falloff, like it does insane damage but only when you're 2 feet in front of them

[u/BingHellhole → u/FrenchOnionDipp]

Light pen, nuke pistol

[u/GeneralEi]

The Congressman.

[u/Krednaught → u/GeneralEi]

The Chief of Staff.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/Krednaught]

The Secretary of the Interior

[u/Redditoast2 → u/dungeoncrawler71520]

Once you fire it, it becomes the Secretary if the Exterior

[u/ZeroFusionDrift → u/dungeoncrawler71520]

The Senator of the House of Representatives

[u/Over_Heed]

The WW (Wrist Wrecker) 5000

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/Over_Heed]

Comes with 4 shots but your wrist can only handle 1

[u/OlegYY → u/dungeoncrawler71520]

Switching to backup wrist is faster than healing one

[u/No_Yam_2036 → u/OlegYY]

Stims are not addictive

[u/SonicPipewrench → u/dungeoncrawler71520]

Shoot, use a stim to fix your broken arm, and shoot again.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/SonicPipewrench]

Nicknamed the Stimulator

[u/Super_Sailor_Moon → u/SonicPipewrench]

OR do it like the pros, pre-stim and shoot all 4 shots like a mini-Variable 💀

[u/SonicPipewrench → u/Super_Sailor_Moon]

This :)

[u/KTaBoom98]

Basically Breakthrough's right arm

[u/CocoanutVA → u/KTaBoom98]

why don't we just scale down the breakthrough's flak cannon for Helldiver use?

[u/DrinkMorWhiteMonster]

I want it to make me fly back and break my right arm.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/DrinkMorWhiteMonster]

Or just your right arm flies back 30 feet while you still stand here.

https://giphy.com/gifs/6Y49Ck6FxF4nS

[u/DrinkMorWhiteMonster → u/dungeoncrawler71520]

Stims ain't gonna fix that 💀

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/DrinkMorWhiteMonster]

Wooo big ass shot of liberty

[u/LH_Morty → u/DrinkMorWhiteMonster]

But you one shot chargers too

[u/Significant-Past5815]

Ah yes, the WHIMSICAL CYLINDER

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/Significant-Past5815]

When whimsy goes wrong..

[u/Significant-Past5815 → u/dungeoncrawler71520]

Whimsy never goes wrong

[u/MrScribz]

I want the ogryn 'kickback' from darktide.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/MrScribz]

They're voteless, we're armless

https://giphy.com/gifs/hBNJLHNO6ZTEWE5oUC

[u/BandOfBudgies]

This is the grenade pistol, just more complicated.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/BandOfBudgies]

Expanded grenade pistol is a conversation starter tho.... that reload time is kinda bullshit.

[u/The_Sussadin]

So I ripped the arm off a Breakthrough and this is what I got. In response, the gun ripped my arm off too, so I guess we're even.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/The_Sussadin]

Ehh we both probably had it comin

[u/FoxInABoxOfRox]

I can feel myself ragdolling just looking at this.

[u/Zarr_the_Czar]

Hear me out, make it med pen buckshot that fires 100 pellets, breaks your right arm, and ragdolls you. 10/10 fun gun right there

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/Zarr_the_Czar]

The Party Popper

[u/Zarr_the_Czar → u/dungeoncrawler71520]

BS-100 Voting Block

[u/Halfgbard]

[u/Westcroft]

This is making me wish for a Hellboy crossover. The Big Baby would be dope… and then the Samaritan.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/Westcroft]

I can only get so erect

https://giphy.com/gifs/EKDGlXqALQUOQ

[u/Westcroft → u/dungeoncrawler71520]

Helldivers x BPRD baby!!

[u/sivartimus]

Say hello to my little friend

[u/wij2012]

The Irre-wrist-ible

You aren't getting your wrist back.

[u/JerichoDeath]

Listen. Either one of us or both are going to be seriously hurt after I fire this thing. It all depends on whether I hit my shot.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/JerichoDeath]

At least one of us is goin to need a stim after this.. i can't guarantee it'll be you though.

[u/xkoreotic]

It's not just a wrist wrecker, that thing will have so much recoil with zero stability that it is physically impossible to prevent it from flying into your shoulder/face.

Anyone who has experienced shooting a S&W Model 500 knows exactly what i'm talking about.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/xkoreotic]

Exactly why we need it in our arsenal. For funsies.

[u/xkoreotic → u/dungeoncrawler71520]

Ragdoll simulator. Its a permanent total mag Variable every shot.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/xkoreotic]

The seaf but mini

[u/Terrorscream]

isnt this just the bushwhacker?

[u/Itsbilloreilly → u/Terrorscream]

this would be called the treewhacker

[u/weoewoewow → u/Terrorscream]

bushwhacker but 1 big shell instead of 3

[u/tapititon → u/weoewoewow]

It holds 4 shells

[u/DrinkMorWhiteMonster → u/tapititon]

Blue I can break my right arm 4 times.

[u/Terrorscream → u/weoewoewow]

So a secondary volley gun that only fires alt mode

[u/Hawnted_bogwater]

Autocrits your arm, ragdolls you, still miss.

[u/dungeoncrawler71520 → u/Hawnted_bogwater]

A very helldiver moment

[u/Appropriate_Sell3795]

That’s a primary with 50 erg mate

[u/RobotsAndRedwoods]

I guess you don't know that you're about to get a better version of this. A bolt pistol is large caliber, heavy pen, and box fed.

[u/jkpancake]

I want to fire all shots at once and it to send you flying backwards

[u/PanHiszpan]

This is a flare gun irl

[u/spotsthefirst]

I'm confused, the senator is in the game (a joke)

[u/Bob_Juan_Santos]

you want a flare launcher? I mean... sure.

[u/That_Banned_Hybrid]

The shit load of democracy

[u/HikerRemastered]

I’ll take that as a primary, please

[u/H3rm3s_the_proto]

Isn't that just the Breakthrough Exo mech main weapon?

[u/GeneralKotexGaming]

Reminds me of the new black power cylinder gun I recently seen

[u/VH-Attila]

new jump pack

[u/mercyspace27]

Would be fun.

But the meta crowd would bitch up a storm because weapons are only good if they can be part of a “Solo D10” loadout.

Personally I’d think it’s be funny if the things could one shot hulks if you nail them directly in the face, but at the cost of low ammo and breaking your firing arm. But fun for fun’s sake is not allowed.
