1 Warhammer 40K-inspired Stratagem Could Turn the Tide if Helldivers 2’s Johan Pilestedt Would Pull the Trigger Already 

As always, the team behind Helldivers 2 is very active, listening to the constant feedback of the community, especially Johan Pilestedt, the former CEO of the studio. In a recent interaction with the X users, Pilestedt talked about Warhammer 40K. Fans began discussing ideas for the game in the replies to this post. 

A user proposed a fascinating idea to add to the stratagems of the title, this user described a Space Marine-like armor that has a cooldown and a secondary weapon. The head of Arrowhead Game Studios mentioned that this was on the table.

One of the main features that Helldivers 2 has is the number of different and very diverse stratagems that the player can use in battle. This particular mechanic of the game can really improve the success of the mission or even save the players from being completely eliminated. Working as a killstreak, like in the Call of Duty games, this particular weapon can destroy numerous enemies. 

Johan Pilestedt shared a post about Warhammer 40K on his personal X account, prompting fans to discuss potential additions and ideas for the Arrowhead Game Studios title.

There was one particular idea to add heavy armor like the Space Marine from this franchise as a stratagem to have on the battlefield. Pilestedt responded by stating that they had previously considered incorporating this idea into the game.

Similar to numerous contemporary Call of Duty games, there’s a specific killstreak known as the juggernaut, where the player gains near invincibility due to robust armor that’s incredibly difficult to destroy. This kind of armor could be very useful in battle in Helldivers 2, especially against the uncountable waves of enemies that this game has on any planet or mission, changing the balance of the battle.

Once the fans saw the reply from Pilestedt, they were very excited to see that the studio was considering putting this kind of stratagem in the game, and they were eager to see the result. The title already has a very similar stratagem, the Exo-Patriot suit, but there is also room for other kinds of armor that are not like mechs. Super-heavy armor could bring another kind of strategy to the missions, making it possible to destroy more enemies at once.

This game’s community keeps growing and adding new players to the battle for democracy. The upcoming Viper Commandos Warbond will introduce a new mechanic that players have been eagerly anticipating. The possibility of using stims to enhance speed and strength for a limited time and reduce the damage taken. This will be the first step toward having more upgrades in the future.
