Helldivers 2 are Tired of Asking for the Same Weapon All Call of Duty Fans Enjoy and Abuse the Sh*t Out of

When it comes to spreading managed democracy across the galaxy, Helldivers 2 players have access to an impressive arsenal of weapons and stratagems. From orbital strikes to laser cannons, Arrowhead has made sure that defenders of Super Earth are well-equipped for their mission.

Yet, there’s one particular weapon that players have been clamoring for since launch—something that Call of Duty enthusiasts have been enjoying (and arguably abusing) for years. The community’s creativity and persistence in requesting this addition has spawned countless memes and fan concepts.

As Helldivers 2 continues to evolve with each update, this particular omission becomes more noticeable, especially given how perfectly it would fit into the game’s “more dakka” philosophy of freedom distribution.

The Most Requested Addition to Helldivers 2‘s Arsenal

The community’s desire for this particular weapon has reached new heights, with players designing detailed mockups of how it could work in-game:

This concept art, clearly inspired by Call of Duty‘s infamous Death Machine, has sparked renewed discussion about how such a weapon could be implemented.

Some players are even willing to make “generous” offers to see it happen:

The timing couldn’t be better for such an addition. With the game’s player base experiencing a significant resurgence thanks to recent updates, a Super Earth-sanctioned Gatling gun could be just the thing to bring even more democracy-loving patriots back into the fold. After all, nothing says “managed democracy” quite like a belt-fed freedom dispenser.

Beyond Basic Bullet Democracy

Of course, the Helldivers 2 community isn’t just asking for a simple copy of what Call of Duty‘s Juggernaut has on offer—they’re imagining something that truly fits the game’s unique style and mechanics:

The potential for this weapon goes beyond just mowing down bugs and bots. It could represent a new tactical option for teams, especially when combined with existing stratagems and support weapons. Imagine providing covering fire while your teammates call in orbital strikes, or creating a wall of bullets to protect your squad during extraction.

Whether Arrowhead will answer these calls remains to be seen, but one thing’s for certain: the community’s creativity and passion continue to demonstrate why Helldivers 2 has become such a beloved game.
