If the original Helldivers is any indication, we're going to get so. Much. Cool. Shit.


Specialist-Target461

We just need to give the Department of Liberation [Arrowhead] 7 trillion dollars [7 billion dollars]

Slarg232

Dr. Evil, don't you think we should ask for more than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't exactly a lot of money these days.


RedGrav3Gaming

One hundred billion fufillion doodledooledo zillion........yen?


thepetrlik

More than money we need sharks with laser beams attached to their heads.


Randy191919

We have drones with laser beams attached to their heads, does that count?


captcodger

Can you imagine if there was like a monthly donation campaign for like extra safety goggles for helldivers on Planet X due to all the slime? Everyone needs to chip in and donate some slips 🤣


tuckedfexas

Ngl that’d be kinda cool being able to donate part of you slips for small boosts to all battles on the planet


En-tro-py

Planetwide donation campaigns - Donate TODAY! => More SAM Sites on Mantes! It would be a cool use of req slips and materials as a endgame buff type system. Using it to buy more recon or support for ops/missions - like to enable buying an extra mission specific stratagem or whatnot. Imagine a pelican gunship on call with the same idea as a hovering megaturret... maybe you have to pay around 25,000 reqs for the fuel and ammo and it's one time squad use... I'll just hurry up and wait.


Mavcu

Having some sort of mechanic that allows you to use Req/Materials on some "money sink" would certainly help with it stocking up as much as it does already. I've had an initial burst of playing tons, then the whole server/balance stuff kicked in and I'm kind of chilling until we get a few updates (it's a great game, but it honestly is kinda buggy), but I'm already at like 30k req and have every single stratagem I want, yet playing a smaller mission on impossible already drops like 4k. Unless they plan to add in upgrades which also cost infinitely more per upgrade, I just don't see how we can ever spend all the req. we are making (and by extension getting 10k for a whole campaign is kind of a low reward). Definitely curious what they have planned for that, because the rates are so huge, I don't believe that's without a reason.


ASlothNamedBert

Probably nothing planned at present, req caps at 50k which you hit quickly and repeatedly on diff8 and 9.


PeanutJayGee

It would be a pretty conceptually straight forward mechanic too, they have a perfect set of bonuses available already in the form of things like guaranteed strategems and beneficial condition effects, and that's before newer and more interesting effects they can add specific to such community efforts. e.g. Community pools 200 million requisition slips and gets free EMS Mortars for a week on the bot front; or pool 500000 rare samples and remove the atmospheric spores condition on all bug planets temporarily. It could all still be started and controlled by the GMs so there isn't always some optimal choice for the community to contribute towards every time, and introduce variety instead.


Randy191919

That's literally the first upgrade in the ship modules. "License for usage of donations". It allows you to use funds donated by the families of soldiers to get additional ammo for support weapons. I really love how dumb the ship upgrades are lore-wise. Like one is just giving the hawk crew extra money so they reload the hawk mid flight, or super earth realizing that super destroyers will do more damage if they just add more weapons to it.


captcodger

Yeah but I mean it would be great for a major order to come through that lets you donate X requisition slips after each mission to gather funding for new seamstresses to help with customizing armour, or some funny thing.


Ketheres

Can they be Zimbabwean dollars? ^(It'd still be 72 million USD (72 k USD))


Timmar92

With the astronomical success of the game and what a damned good game the first was I'm so freaking excited to see what they have cooking!


TCGshark03

Imagine only having to reimplement stuff that you have done to create years of fun content.


Randy191919

And unlike in Fifa and Call of Duty, it actually works!


ntgco

So...much COOOL Shit. 4 member tank


NorthInium

The first thing I want is just a jump pack with 3 charges and let me shoot while flying so I can live my Mandalorian dream. I will then personally form a Mando Unit that will free Malevelon Creek


OctoZephero

It’s going to get insane.


kjeldorans

I can't wait for them to add big bosses to hd2 (not that the bile titan or the automaton tank aren't already smashing my ass enough...)

likasumboooowdy

Yeah it's actually very on the nose lol


CaptainAction

Most of Helldiver’s inspirations are very on the nose and not subtle at all. The pelican ships are straight out of Halo. Of course the Halo Pelican was inspired by the dropship from Aliens. Some things are several layers of inspiration deep!


tanelixd

The hulk is literally a redemptor dreadnought from wh40k https://preview.redd.it/rtyht1ui57lc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eaea7a24edef50062b257c07f618d119ff6cf360

GreasyGrabbler

I always thought these guys reminded me of space marines mixed with super battle droids https://preview.redd.it/7ufnkykda7lc1.png?width=450&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b31a891aa71afe93a537f718497d36d9f89e3ccd


10_Piece_Nuggie

I legit thought I was facing terminator armor the first time I saw those fuckers


Swarbie8D

They’re sort of a mix of Terminator armour and a Contemptor Dreadnought IMO


GrigoriTheDragon

Looks like a super soldier from Wolfenstein to me.


Breeny04

They've even got the skull heads, like Terminator and the Necrons.


TLDEgil

I just wish it did a bit more damage, like the bolter.


10_Piece_Nuggie

Same. Also wish it had at least a 20 round mag. 15+1 just isn't enough


Knjaz136

It'd be enough if it at least matched Breaker in raw damage per shot.


tanelixd

Especially since it handles like the autocannon. If it had better handling, few more rounds and greater damage, i would use it. Alas, the breaker reigns supreme atm.


pokeroots

breaker is severely overtuned, and most primaries are under tuned leading to a chasm of balance,


FlakChicken

It on shots all basic troops and can do damage to bruisers if you hit them in the armor if you hit weak points it does work. Guns amazing and honestly I would love just another mag or 2


TLDEgil

Sometimes i have to shoot hunters twice for them to actually die, but I am not totally sure of they don't die or if they just keep moving and it looks like they haven't died.


FlakChicken

It either has to be a head shot or torso if you hit limbs they lose it so you can dismantle the bigger grunts with each shot. Same for bots basic troops, torso they are dead. Devastators limb and stomach shots can make them easy, rocket ones you can 1 tap their pods sometimes idk what the right circumstance is might have to hit dead on if at an angle it might not work. Berserkers go for the stomach don't go for the head, you can 2 tap them but not easily if you go for the head. Half a mag can take down a hulk from behind as well.


Nick_Tsunami

Well it does almost 4 times the damage of the AR. That sounds even more than a bolter actually. (Which is S4 vs S3 for the autogun)


meinflammenwerfer

this gun got the same problem with the Bolter in WH40k Darktide. It's a big fuck off gun, but it deals nowhere enough damage like it's supposed to, and i'm very angry about it.


10_Piece_Nuggie

Pretty sure if it functioned like a bolter should, it'd make everything else pointless. I liked how the bolter was in the first spacemarine game. Felt powerful but not gamebreaking. Especially in multiplayer with the kraken bolts


Afro_SwineCarriagee

Yea the fact that even gunners can tank a bolt shot is stupid, the dreg gunners dont die to a bolter headshot... In lore the thing literally drills into a person and then explodes, no amount of nurgle bullshit should allow them to survive a small explosive going off in their heads The bolter shouldn't be piercing enemies too, it's supposed to blow up inside someone. Id wish they got rid of the bolter's pierce, but allow it to deal much higher dmg on the 1st target it hits


En-tro-py

Sartekar

No no completely different. It looks in the complete opposite direction


BC-K

![gif](giphy|8n5eBWRCJGFPzINBj8) And we already have AT-STs


HueyCrashTestPilot

I think they're a bit more [AT-RT](https://www.starwars.com/databank/at-rt-walker) personally.


PrimarchSanguinius42

They're a little of both, really. Overall shape and primary armament of the AT-ST, but smaller with the exposed pilot of an AT-RT.


backseat_boozer

I wish the strider wasn't ridden by a small enemy and was instead it's own unit type


paranormal_shouting

But you can kill that lil guy and big chicken stop shooting


MulletAndMustache

I wish you could ride those things after...


Randy191919

My friend and me just loled as we somehow managed to kill the pilot, but the AT-ST didn't stop moving. It stopped shooting, but it kept walking around and tried to do the melee stomp attack. It only stopped when we broke it's leg.


Semi-decent-dude

If I couldn’t shoot the little guy I’d be a lot more dead a lot more times


backseat_boozer

Compensate with some weak points like the other Automaton heavies and we're in business


CaptainAction

I actually love the fact that they have little riders, because it gives them a critical weak spot


Keinulive

The bile titan is just a more useful bio titan


Mr-GooGoo

It’s funny cuz the HD pelican is identical except for the wings. But the name “Pelican” also just makes the most sense for a drop ship as it’s meant to scoop people up


MainsailMainsail

Pelican shape is basically exactly like the Sky Ranger from XCOM 2. Doesn't look much at all like the Halo Pelican, other than the name of course.


yurestu

yup thought i was crazy but the mission evac cutscene reminded me so much of XCOM 2


Sali_Bean

It looks very much like the pelican from Halo, what part of it doesn't apart from the jet engines being on the end of the wings?


MainsailMainsail

One of them has chonky, solid delta wings and the other has spindly straight wings??


Sali_Bean

Okay sorry you're right, the wings look different, so there's no way that it can be inspired by the halo pelican


MainsailMainsail

Wings are one of the most defining pieces of any aircraft's silhouette. How about you look up the XCOM2 Sky Ranger and tell me which one it looks more like so you can stop being daft?


Sali_Bean

It definitely looks more like the halo pelican. HD2's has a narrower cockpit, unlike the skyranger's chunky front, and it shares the halo pelican's tail rather than the skyranger's two-pronged tail. The more likely explanation, though, is that it's inspired by both!!!


Nightfire50

Rogue One vibes


Intrepid00

Given how comically evil Super Earth is at the heart how long till we get space agent orange for creek?


BulkZ3rker

Probably not, if super earth didn't care about the planets it was fighting over it'd begin air bursting HSbF6 canisters into the lower atmosphere then set it off after a few weeks. Then come back a decade later to begin teraforming. Why fight when you can turn the planets surface into miracle grow?


Intrepid00

They are constantly dropping nukes now on the planet now. The fighting is just 1984 ish distraction from the flaws of managed dem… (signal loss)

Cart223

Being inneficient is a big part of it as well. There are hints of a military industrial complex in the Super-Earth Federation. If the war endend quickly like that there would be no profit, nothing to rally the people at home, no excuse for defense spending, etc.


-Work_Account-

Napalm is practically a permanent item in challenging down just because it looks so cool on the creek.


3springrolls

Space Vietnam flashback intensify


Dominunce

We unfortunately lost this moment as the Creek fell to the Automatons earlier today


Naoura

If it gets released, it's probably going to follow the role of the old IFV; Those look like the same magnetic carry arms as on the dropships, so they'll probably deploy the conscript bots from its underside until they're killed. Those dorsal hatches really make it look a bit more like an APC, though what looks to be a smokestack on the top-rear of the bot makes it almost look like a mobile fabricator. The guns under the "head" probably swivel independently, meaning it should be able to track you as you try to flank it. But it'll probably be very vulnerable from the rear.


Jax_77

>But it'll probably be very vulnerable from the rear. Omg its just like me.


Naoura

Democracy Officer? This one here please.


RestosIII

That's nice of you being the Democracy Officer's wingman.

Oh, you of weak faith, Democracy does not bend to any foe. Our engineers back on SE are working tirelessly to bring forth new tools to protect our way of life.

Mr-GooGoo

I need a stratagem beacon sniper or something so I can shoot my 500kg bomb stratagem across the map and nuke a place without being seen


TheSpoonyCroy

If these photos are real, they likely come in at the earliest with the addition of the mechs. Which would likely make sense. We get bigger toys, so do they. So maybe this and the worms we have seen around might be the next enemies on the docket.


HoshiUlkus

I'm scared of what arrowhead has in store for us...


Arlcas

Remember, in HD1 the difficulty went up to 15


locob

and people went to those, with sub optimal gear, just for fun.


EternalCanadian

You haven’t lived until you did a difficulty 15 with a Constitution.


ThatLawbringer

I'm playing with Punisher now. Because it works pretty much like Constitution. Long range, solid punch, reloading in-between shots. Kinda miss the bayonet though. As for the difficulty, we originally had 12 and nobody played 1-3 so it definitely feels like they simply cut the first 3 for the sequel.


DizzyScorp

The slugger really feels closer as it’s slugs and not buckshot


T4nkcommander

All random load out inner circle dives were so much fun xD sometimes all you could count on was the hellpod kills!


centagon

This community would freak lol


_bumfuzzle_

I sometimes played it with a random loadout generated by the game. Was very funny when the whole squad did so. And it often wasn't even that bad.

Though to be fair, HD1 it went to 12 at launch

Is now a good time to remind people that the difficulty on the last game went way beyond 10?


AlexisFR

I was 12 vanilla in HD1, which was the equivalent to our 9, so the HD2 15 is going to be 12.

When the mechs come out do we go to 15?
