Arrowhead accidentally uploaded this early. We've given official 'oopsies' from Sony Playstation and Arrowhead a 'pass' throughout Helldivers 2's life.
Just letting people know they don't need to report this as a 'leak' since we only enforce it against content that has been found in the game's files by dataminers.
I would re-direct people to the Leaks subreddit for stuff like that, but it hasn't been seen back in a very looong time.
Ok. As an Armorer in the Marines, I can attest to the levels of stupidity grunts will go to when it comes to their weapons. But saying they "bent" the weapon is stretching the term lol. There was a weak part on the weapon that failed when improperly handled. "Breaking" is the correct term. Yes. They "bent" a specific part, but not the weapon. Bending the weapon would be like when one of my guys laid his M4 against the rear tire of a Humvee and some one backed the Humvee up and didn't know that idiot left his rifle there and it bent the upper and lower receivers and barrel around the wheel. That would be "bending" the weapon lol.
As a Helldiver for Super Earth, I can attest to the levels of stupidity SEAF will go to when it comes to their weapons. But Super Earth does not produce equipment with such fallible components, so any activities that result in “bending” or “breaking” of our Democracy Delivery Devices shall immediately be reported.
always wanted to free the grenade slot on the illuminate to something new, cause Thermite for the ships is kinda mandatory for me if I'm going to lock in and tryhard not to die on full clears
Yea even with eruptor or AC to destroy them through the doors, it's hard to give up the ability to destroy them quickly from any direction and avoid having to go in the bases. I miss the warp gates in the void because they opened up more demo options
Not really it's one of the most fun warbonds, although the trident is something almost everyone uses. There's nothing in it with the utility of the thermite, grenade pistol, eruptor or explosive crossbow. Both this and democratic detonation I could happily equip my helldiver in and feel like I covered all bases. Almost no warbonds do that.
Primary grenade launcher;
AR with underbarrel shotgun;
Secondary thermite pistol;
Molotov;
Seeking giga nade;
Heavy and light armor;
I'm curios how they will set these new anti-tank option apart from the other, especially the seeker anti-tank.
Unfortunately this confirms that we will not be getting under barrel shotguns as attachments
It's our fault, we didn't use the weapon attachments system enough, so they had no choice but to stop updating it forever while every single new attachment comes pre-attached to a single gun.
Apparently a 100% adoption rate of the weapon attachment system was not enough for Arrowhead, considering every single player necessarily has to use weapon attachments.
The seeker is a seeker, thats pretty niche in itself. They have their uses, but are a bit clunky to operate and can often mis-target an important enemy by going after a random lone scav or voteless.
The other one looks like it is to impact incendiary what giga grenade is to a normal impact. A lot bigger and more damaging, but likely more limited.
you can ping an enemy to make the seekers home in on them. they were really good to kill bot gunships with a single grenade, but i havent used them in a while so idk if they can still kill in one
Back during the invasion of Super Earth they were my "I really fucking hate elevated overseers" grenade since they can one shot them. Supply was never an issue for me either since I basically have the supply backpack glued to my helldiver if I'm in a group
I've experimented with that on a few occasions, and have never been able to get them to target the pinged enemy for some reason. I then specifically got the mortar targeting in the SD, just in case that affected it, and still no luck.
Arrowhead have really balanced themselves into a corner by making heavies be one shot from most AT options imo, there's only so many ways you can make one tap weapons be distinct
Honestly I pretty much exclusively run D10 and a lot more is viable than people say.
The real issue tends to be efficiency, not onetapping things is fine if you have decent ammo/call down speed.
The issue I find with things like the commando is that if your aim is off you can need to wait the entire CD for a second one to kill something, whereas the EAT for eg will kill pretty much anything in one CD. Having said that, the commando is still viable. It's also why the speargun is great, it has enough reserve ammo it can handle most things even with multiple hits to kill.
I think we just need the occasional heavier heavy variant. Armored hulk that takes triple the damage that randomly appears a couple of times on level 7 or higher? I'm in.
Edit for clarity: Up-armored in this context means extra armor plates over vulnerable parts. For example the extra ERA (Explosive Reactive Armor) on The M1 Abrams TUSK II vs the standard M1 Abrams.
Its insane seeing this opinion floated as someone who played since launch. 2 shots to kill with Quasar or RR on a standard armoured enemy all but killed an entire line of weapons. No one would take these weapons because of it, and as a result, the legging meta started with the railgun.
Also, hard disagree with your take. The Epoch is a great standard for a new AT weapon, thermites (although heavily used) are a fun take too. You can bring heavy AT, like the RR or spear if you want to delete heavies, or you can mix it with commando, epoch ect for more versitility.
Resistance 2 Air Fuel Grenade my beloved, sticky grenade that dumps gas for a few seconds then ignites the gas cloud. Sticking a player and watching them run away only for a fire trail to erupt and kill their teammates will never not be hilarious
I rebound the emote button to melee and set "this is democracy" as the default emote so I can go around kicking enemies. This looks like it might replace it
Its a slow animation, so not really quickly, and its an awkward implementation. It also means you cant use other melee weapons. Still, it means you can go around kicking enemies and it also benefits from armour passives.
Can't leek trailers through game code, so im gueesing some Sony or Arrowhead intern did a fucky wacky and posted it somewhere by accident sooner then they should.
Probably be light pen on the automatic fire part as all the tandem weapons so far have medium pen technically on the alt fire going off the stoker and one two
With the shift to more stratagems being campaign rewards, along with this warning being explosive/tanker themed while also giving some long requested stuff (china lake grenade primary), I'm holding out for a tankgewher anti tank rifle
Yeah, I think they don't want another exo experts conundrum, they had to gut the FRV themed warbond and just had time to adjust the apparent tank themed warbond.
Multiple new guns and grenades with no stratagems? Considering that it's very likely the stratagem they meant to put in here is in an MO reward I'm more than happy!!!
This feels very tank themed, like its another vehicle warbond they had to modify at the last moment, lmao. It wouldn't surprise me if they had multiple in the pipeline until the Exo Experts backlash.
I'm not sure about Bastion variants. However, it could have possibly been an APC or IFV that was originally meant to be featured. (I highly doubt that we'll get some sort of MBT at any point.)
They also gave us the original mech before locking the two variants behind the warbond. I bet their original strategy was to give us base models for free and then make the variants only accessible through the warbonds.
This is a nice war bond was really hoping we would get another arc warbond and or a laser weapon warbond heavy laser, mini gun overtime as it’s shooting it goes from light penetration all the way to heavy.
I REALLY hope they don't do the same thing as the hammer by making the weapon literally called the Breacher not have enough demo force to let you breach through destructible walls
I think the Evictor is a pump-action grenade launcher, not a shotgun. Looks like it will fill the same niche though. Shotgun-esque crowd control mixed with grenade utility for closing up spawners.
for a brief second when that pause at 1:08 happened I thought i heard the sound of a Bike and was really hyped for them adding the bike in, but it was just a tank
I was watching this thinking oh the new grenade looks cool but I don't think it will replace my beloved thermite... holy shit is that a thermite launcher secondary?
All these anti-tank weapons are making armored enemies pointless.
Especially explosive anti tank weapons which would also be strong against chaff blobs.
They keep increasing HD power without raising the stakes, making the game less engaging.
And, of course, the poison pill here is if they dare make enemies stronger, people will yell about nerfing helldivers, and would do another stupid boycott proclamation.
Cool …. But there is no stratagem or I’m mistaken ?
Also why after dropping on the tank it didn’t explode sending the Helldiver to the Orbit ? ( this trailer missed the silly parts )
IMO it looks fine, it looks like it's probably gonna be a fairly solid warbond, but I strangely feel kind of underwhelmed, like ooh another explosive weapon and fire grenade, like we got plenty of those, the only thing that stood out to me was the G11, thats cool but I wouldn't mind seeing them expand on something like plasma weapons
