When you’ve been a bit pissed off with the state of Helldivers 2 and are in search of causes to leap again into the Galactic Warfare – properly, Arrowhead’s right here to offer ’em. The most recent Main Order will reward a brand new mech if accomplished, and the studio’s been taking group pitches for a brand new stratagem.
In case you missed it, Arrowhead’s Johan Pilestedt just lately stepped apart as CEO, in an effort to focus extra closely on serving to oversee Helldivers 2’s improvement. Whereas the broader results of this may doubtless take a short while to come back to fruition, that hasn’t stopped the developer from getting off to a fast begin – he is already requested the group for some stratagem concepts they’d prefer to see turn out to be a factor.
Earlier than we get to that, although let’s begin with this newest Main Order. The duty is to liberate one planet – Varylia 5 – one thing gamers have already gotten round 30% of the best way by way of as of writing. The reward could be “the dual-autocannon EXO-49 Emancipator exosuit”, a mech that’ll be attainable to provide if an automaton “Petafactory” on the planet might be secured for Tremendous Earth.
Given it is only one world and there are 4 and a bit days left on the order, I would assume the automatons will put up a fairly robust struggle to carry Varylia, however we have seen what the sport’s group might be able to, particularly when one thing individuals actually care about is on the road.
Whereas that is happening, Pilestedt’s been busy asking gamers on Twitter for some concepts of what they’d prefer to see in an Eagle stratagem. A lot of the responses are centered round both some type of air assist or bombs, with the developer having casually shared an image of the correct mannequin for the Tremendous Earth bomber people can presently generally discover downed variations of as a POI in-game as a reply on one.
Then again, one participant wrote: “I do not know if it must be an eagle strike, however one thing to disclaim enemies from reinforcing for like a minute or 2 could be very strategically helpful.” Pilestedt appeared to suppose that was cool, saying that it could possibly be “like a disruption beacon – just like what the bots have”. He additionally loved somebody’s pitch involving a helldiver casually driving a bomb similar to Main Kong does in Dr. Strangelove.
Earlier than you get too excited, the developer closed out this thread by saying that we’ll simply should see if any of those stratagem concepts truly get picked up, however he did additionally inform people to maintain them coming. Be certain that to remain tuned for extra Helldivers 2 information because the Second Galactic Warfare rages on.
