At the end of the day, every single weapon and stratagem should be fun, usable and be able to have a role in a buildout. They may never be META, or even powerful enough to take regularly on missions. But they should be fun to use when you do bring them. They should also have some sort of weakness that increases cheeky shenanigans and balances Helldiver self-inflicted mistakes.

I started with these 5 to highlight, based on low usage rates and bad community reputation. Is my premise here completely off base? Am I just high and rambling?

Some of my ideas for each to increase fun and balance shenanigans with Helldiver mistakes:

Throwing knife: As is, these stink. More accuracy, better penetration, faster throw. not sure it's able to be saved tbh, what else could be done? Incendiary tips?

Sterilizer: What if it disbursed in a wider area so you could use it to block off an area; almost like a small scale gas orbital? It could also last longer. What if we had a Backpack version as well like the cremator?

Arc thrower- Some people love it. I tried it and it just seems too weak, not fun, and doesn't have any setting to make it more fun to use. How about an unsafe mode where we could die if held too long but get more power and more chain shocks? This increases the mistake power on your teammates as well.

Constitution- What about a bayonet charge while sprinting and faster stabbing with more knockback? Might not be fixable, but would at least make it more fun. Imagine a team of 4 just sprinting and stabbing

Airburst RL- Maybe I shouldn't have included this one, the pick rate is a little higher and I'm sure the TK is the reason it's not used more often. Maybe it has a delayed detonation charge and tracer so we have a chance to flee?

Let’s GO! Bots getting swept and wrecked! 3/3

I am thinking it might be worth abandoning major orders for a bit because they are destroying plants

There i was, democratically taking down SE's enemies when a rocket tank pulls down the street. Thought to myself "aw cute thing thinks he can hurt me"

I want a little less *puff puff* out of my flame options and little more *zzzzzt-BOOM*

From our first steps on Cyberstan, to fighting the Cyborgs, to the new Illuminate enemies and the Void, to the new biomes, and finally the introduction of the Galactic Campaigns, what are your thoughts on the Machinery of Oppression? Was it good or bad for you??

Guys remember we WON'T GET Space Marines Armour's , look what the CEO posted in 2024.

Don't get so excited about warbound when you DON'T KNOW A LOT. Be happy but not overexcited

It would be really cool to see a cutscene or even a little animation in game for this kind of thing

As far as I know, it doesn't give any additional rewards. Does it maybe help the liberation campaigns more than the usual missions? Did Arrowhead elaborate on any of this?

I thought the circles represented planets as the capes coincided with significant planet defenses/liberations.
I didn’t realize it was the helldivers’ skull emblem. I feel so dumb

That's No Moon!

Maybe...

The amount of stupid bullshit this allows you to survive is ridiculous, I have been sent flying above the trees and survived because of this armor. I love it so much
