How Would You Feel If More Collabs Came To Helldivers 2?

I'm the type of gamer who prefers his cosmetics to be in-universe. While I'm not completely opposed to more Helldivers 2 collabs, I would love it if the cosmetics in question were only loosely based or inspired by other IPs, not directly lifted from them.

What Franchise Should Helldivers 2 Collab With Next?

Now that all three fronts are open in Helldivers 2, I think it would be a good time to have a Warhammer 40k collab. Nothing spells fascism and xenophobia more than the Imperium of Mankind, and I think it'd be nice to see some Imperial Guard-inspired uniforms and weapons for Super Earth's best.

So, What's Your Take On The Helldivers 2 x Killzone Collab Fiasco?

There's a lot to say about how the Helldivers 2 x Killzone collab items were priced, but I think the community backlash spoke for itself. I was okay with the Stun Baton being a Super Store item, but adding an armor set with a unique passive and a new assault rifle to a rotating catalog was too much. At least the second half of the collab was given away for free.

What Are Your Go-To Weapons Against The Illuminate In Helldivers 2?

I'm constantly bouncing between the Tenderizer and Purifier with any of the three machine gun Support Weapons. It takes a while for the Purifier to knock Harvesters out of commission, but it gets the job done regardless, and I just really like how the Tenderizer feels, especially against unarmored enemies.

Are The Illuminate In Helldivers 2 Too Easy?

So far? Yes. Everything, from the zombies, to the plasma and the laser beams, can all be avoided just by running, while the alien Tesla Towers can all be left alone or blown up entirely. I'm sure this isn't everything that the Illuminate can throw at us, but as of now, I think they're the easiest faction in the game.

What's Your Impression on the Illuminate in Helldivers 2?

Fighting the Illuminate feels a bit like fighting both Terminids and Automatons combined. There are zombies running at you from everywhere, heavily armored guys shooting plasma bolts, and laser cannons with legs trying to vaporize your squad out of existence. They're a little too easy, in my opinion, but I doubt that what we've seen on Calypso is all that the squids have to offer.

What Should The Next Helldivers 2 Warbond Feature?

Personally, I want more laser weapons. The laser shotgun from the first game would be nice, and a WH40K Lasgun-style laser rifle with medium armor penetration would be even nicer. Bonus points if they come with bayonets.

Helldivers, What Does The DSS Need To Be Better?

Personally, all I want is more precision strikes and less indiscriminate fire. Watching multiple squadrons of Eagles strafe run the tyranny out of bots and bugs was amazing, but getting shelled by the thing the entire community spent weeks trying to protect just feels bad (even if it is kind of funny).

What's The Most Intense Shooter Game You've Played?

Helldivers 2 pretty much takes the cake in terms of pure cinematic intensity. Its moments of quiet can devolve into scenes of pure carnage in the blink of an eye. My first time fighting Automatons in Malevelon Creek will forever remain in my memory as one of the best experiences I've had in gaming.

Vote for your favorite game in this match-up to go in the draw to win a Secretlab TITAN Evo (Stealth Edition) gaming chair! There's no denying that?Dragon Age: The Veilguard has had its share of critics, but it's undoubtedly still a very solid RPG and has been the talk of the gaming community since its launch. Plenty of members of the GR Community have put their support behind BioWare's long-awaited title, but is it enough to get past one of the best and most surprising multiplayer releases of the year? It may have been a while since?Helldivers 2?first dropped, but it quickly established itself as the benchmark for 2024 and one of the first genuine contenders to vie for the moniker of Game of the Year.?Let us know in 10 words or more who you think should win and why!

What Is The Best Warbond In Helldivers 2 So Far?

Polar Patriots went from the worst warbond in Helldivers 2 to what might just be the best. All of its weapons received major buffs following the game's big balance patches — the Tenderizer hits like a truck, the Verdict penetrates medium armor, the Pummeler can stun almost everything, and the Purifier can blow up most enemies except for the heaviest of units. There are no bad weapons in Polar Patriots anymore, and it's awesome.

What's Your New Favorite Weapon in Helldivers 2 After The Balance Patches?

With almost every weapon in the game now in a decently powerful straight, my new favorite in Helldivers 2 is now the Purifier. It used to be one of the most underwhelming weapons in the arsenal, but now that it works like a Scorcher that you can charge up, it's basically perfect for fights with a lot of medium armor.

What Do You Expect To See In Helldivers 2's First Liberty Day Celebration On October?

I fully expect to see some sort of old-fashioned weapon like a bolt-action or lever-action rifle, much like how the M2016 Constitution was added in the first game as a Liberty Day meme gun.?

What's Your New Favorite Weapon In Helldivers 2 After The Major Balance Patch?

The Liberator Penetrator quickly became my go-to weapon following Helldivers 2's first big balance patch. It hits as hard as the pre-patch standard Liberator, but it has better armor penetration for thicker targets. A true jack of all trades gun.

What Are Your Impressions On Helldivers 2's Upcoming Chemical Agents Warbond?

The Chemical Agents Warbond is going down in Helldivers 2 history as the first one to not have a primary weapon or booster. This decision alone is very interesting, as it basically says that Arrowhead isn't afraid to include stratagems as part of paid content. On another note, I'm very excited to try out the revamped tox thrower.

What Helldivers 2 Weapon Buff Are You Most Excited For?

I'm very much looking forward to the Railgun buff in the coming balance patch on September 17. Not only is it getting reverted to its pre-nerf state, but it's also getting a massive damage increase that should make it much more effective against heavy armor.
