Helldivers 2 Leaks Reveal New Weapons, Stratagems, Armor, Illuminate Orders, Cyborgs & More!

They need to do more broadcasts in the ship and have a radio station or news station on 24/7 so that we can stay in the loop .

A squirrely part of my brain wondered if perhaps they'd unleash the Illuminate on us during the eclipse.

I like in how in the demonstration clip for the DMR, he says it "shreds bots" the whole while dumping a bottomless mag into a small squad of medium bad guys to no effect

"Modest threat" for the flying gunships - my squad and I had NINE of them on us at once and it was a bloodbath. We've never lost a mission quicker.

If the Eruptor can indeed kill Chargers and other elites, it would be glorious paired with Stalwart, MGs, Laser Cannon, Arc Thrower and Flamethrower.

FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS!!!

6:23 the laser weapon here is the replacement for the rover gun. the rover drone used the Scythe model before last patch, and now the rover uses this new model for its laser weapon.

Erupter is literally a bolt action 40k astartes bolter

Getting the Cyborgs as a sub faction would be cool. I’m hoping they’ll add more beyond the Illuminate down the line.

I actually love that a lot of the teases and stuff are done outside of the game. It's kind of like an augmented reality experience that brings the game outside of just the game. We are Helldivers both in game and without, and the community has been leaning into that with the RP, and this stuff helps sell that.

4:35, you can see there called Anti Tank Mines as the pod drops in

6:25 that’s clearly a defender variant in the middle which is not a secondary.

By the by, airburst is not a anti air exclusive term. what you are seeing is a cluster rocket, not a flak burst rocket. That it kills a tank is telling about its multiplicative explosions, which are further seen in how the rocket scatters bomblets.

it's possible that winchester style rifle won't be avalible as a primary or strategem, but as an environmental pickup like the break action, a frontier gun given to colonists to defend themselves, basically, a high power support style rifle found in the world, i think that could be neat, adds a bit more to the environment

I’m hoping that at some point we can get a new backpack stratagem that’s basically just a belt feeding ammo can for machine guns. Like, you put it on, reload your machine gun, and then you don’t have to reload it again, increases its reserve ammo and maybe adds a heat management mechanic instead of reloading. The MG43 and HMG suffer so much from stationary reloading, and you gotta run a supply pack as well to keep them fed. Even if you’re running a supply pack you’re only going to be able to use the weapon in a fight up until the end of that first belt, and only if you’re able to get enough space will you be able to reload and keep shooting, which is a huge gamble, now that the bots are gone and it’s nothing but bugs now, constantly rushing you and swarming your position. Plus, it’s a bit of a waste to run supply pack just to keep your machine gun fed, when it also supplies stims and grenades, and if you’re hogging up all the boxes on your pack, it isn’t serving its intended purpose. A backpack stratagem that looks something like what the Heavy Gunner class in Synthetik and Synthetik 2 would be perfect. Something to make machine guns more viable without wasting supply pack charges.

Several of the leaked video points showed some extremely interesting things. A new version of the liberator, another long-barrel marksman rifle in addition to the eruptor. Anti-Tank mines is the actual name, shows up in the top left of the leak video.

Another content suggested to just load ammo for you using the back pack you equip. So instead of having the person equip the backpack and reload the back pack and gun is equipped by one person and all the assist person does is grab the next ammo from the pack

he didnt throw the thermite grenade at the head or the legs.... thats why it didnt do anything. i guarantee this grenade at least strips the armor from the legs, and maybe just maybe kills it if you stick it to the head, if you knew how thermite worked or the weak points of the enemy lmao. Edit: Just to clarify because i read this comment back and it sounded rude asf. I just meant if YOU the user of the grenade know weak spots it might be useful, but i was wrong lmao

Hellbucks was an april fools joke. This should have been obvious with a minor bit of digging.

I thought that hellbucks was a April fool joke since it came out on April 1st
