As gamers had been anticipating given how exhausting it was teased all through final week, the primary anniversary of Helldivers 2’s launch has seen Arrowhead unleash a giant Illuminate marketing campaign that is taking a whole lot of work to try to maintain off.
It is okay, although. There is a new impromptu weapon of kinds the divers would possibly be capable to use to assist them do exactly that.
“The Heart of Science on Fenrir III can verify: Meridia is in movement,” this newest squid-battling order reads, “The Darkish Power that the Illuminate muster by their many invasions seems to be key. The Helldivers [are] now known as upon to restrict the Illuminate accumulation of this Darkish Power.”
So, as of writing, gamers are halfway by that activity, having held off 5 of the 11 Illuminate assaults they should by the point the mission concludes in simply over three days’ time. The baddies are actually going all out too – their presence has been cheekily disappearing from the sport’s galactic map, as if to try to lull Tremendous Earth right into a false sense of safety whereas the assault squads stealthily prep and unleash assaults.
Don’t fret although, of their efforts to repel these invasions and usually muck about, gamers have found a approach to flip one of many newest warbond’s additions into one thing much more terrifying. As demonstrated by Reddit person Honest-Albatross8520 within the clip above, should you time issues up completely, it is doable to fling a conveyable Hellbomb catapult-style by popping it down on the bottom after which calling in an anti-tank emplacement.
The emplacement lands, and in the midst of unfurling itself, its barrel flicks the Hellbomb an honest distance. If there’s an enemy in the way in which – kaboom. It’s miles from straightforward to drag off although – Honest-Albatross8520 writes that in about three to 4 hours of testing and “at the very least 50 to 70 tries”, they “solely succeeded in truly launching ahead 3 occasions”, with solely the launch they’ve clipped having “near-perfect trajectory”.
So, perhaps not the factor to whip out in each battle, however hey, should you’re your group’s solely hope left in one among these Illuminate battles and are most likely gonna die anyway, why not?
