Helldivers 2 is once again the victim of a leak which shows the future deployment of a highly requested feature, and which was already present in the first opus.
Helldivers 2 had a record launch that surprised Sony as much as the developers at Arrowhead Game Studios. If a hint from Johan Pilestedt, the game’s CEO and creative director, is to be believed, the title has sold over 3 million copies. And it is also possible that this figure is even GOOD superior to date. An influx which caused connection problems and crashes, but fortunately, the different patches made it possible to have a better experience. So it’s time to get down to business with some new content.
A new scheme that rolls for Helldivers 2
Until today, Arrowhead Game Studios’ priority has been to increase server capacityHelldiverse 2, their management and quite simply the stability of the game. For our part, on PS5, we consider that it is a successful mission even though we encountered numerous problems from the release and even after. Now developers can think about how to enrich the experience with other features. And a new stratagem, which makes it possible to make an all-terrain vehicle appear with a turret, has leaked on video.
A car reminiscent, in its use, of the MC-109 “Hammer” sidecar motorcycle introduced in Helldivers through a DLC pack, or even the warthog from Halo. As the leak shows, one player acts as pilot while a second takes care of shooting the terminid vermin with the machine gun installed on the machine. For the moment, this Helldivers 2 video has not been commented on by the studio, but seems very authentic. On the other hand, we don’t know where the gameplay comes from. But there is a theory that also applies to the future mecha update. Players believe that Arrowhead Game Studios may be quietly deploying these features in the wild, just to test their viability in real-world conditions.
In any case, the enthusiasm for adding vehicles in Helldivers 2, whether mechas or this all-terrain vehicle, is clearly there. The balance will just have to be present so that they are not overpowered. But we can already count on the teams to establish the necessary limits in terms of power, the number of possible uses or the recharge time of these stratagems.
