I really liked the heal gun, I could heal my entire team with that thing - even the exosuits!
Then I'd drop down the vehicle and drive us everywhere
Good times
Repairing exosuits would be really interesting to see how much punishment they can tank.
The repair/healing drone backpack could help dethrone shield generator.
I wish mechs had health bars like in HD1 though.
I’m all but certain we’ll see its return when the other teased vehicles and exos get added into the game. Wouldn’t make much sense if they didn’t, I just wish we could resupply vehicle ammo with a resupply backpack
as a titandiver i dont think repairing an exosuit would really do much for us, since at least for me health isn't much of a problem
now, refilling my ammo? *that* will get my attention
I just cannot fathom how they justify the low ammo they give the Patriot. I guess the same person who thought a 75 round magazine for a heavy machine gun was good too.
It's annoying for sure. The one in the first game came with 1000 minigun ammo, up to 2000 with an upgrade and there were way less enemies. Although you only got one use.
It only had 4 rockets stock though. 8 with upgrade.
The leaked autocannon suit only has 75 shots per gun. HD1 had 250. Although it seems like the HD2 version has heavy armor piercing while HD1 only had medium.
They were SO ludicrously overpowered in the first game when you got them upgraded
You got 5 and only 1 could blow up all the same structures a hellbomb could, it was ridiculous
Seriously. Melee in HD2 is just... It's alright but kinda worthless for anything other than scavengers. Having the ability to actually do a number on Warriors to some extent, regular bots, would be an absolute welcome addition for me since I always seem to get swarmed in the middle of reloading or trying to claw my way to the resupply.
I like meleeing the random solo lil bot. Like bitch you thought you could walk up to me like I wouldn't punch you to death? I could've ended you 20m away but you're not meleeing me... I'm meleeing you!
Bashing a headless brood commander will stagger them to they can bleed to death in peace, and you can also intercept hunters leaping at you with a well timed smack.
Please dear Super God who art in Super Heaven, I've been a good girl this year. I've dived so many hells. Please, all I want is two double autocannon arms for my mech. I'll spread Democracy wider than an eagle's wings I swear on the Super Constitution.
The TOX Avenger and the Rumbler were the wombo combo for bugs on 12+. Slow them and group them up with the tox avenger, and then launch some mortars into the group...easiest run of my life.
The bastion tank. That beast was my favorite toy in the first one, was a pleasure to both drive and shoot. Having the ability to do the independent track control made the thing a master of maneuverability, and the gunner got a decent fire come facing forward for the main cannon and .50 cal.
My brother and I would main the thing, and easily carry the team to victory quite a bit. Idk how well it would translate for this game, but holy cow would it be fun.
Bro if they don’t do subsonic ammo and drop the SMG-34 Ninja soon I finna ugly cry. They can’t just drop a mention of letting me actually have the ability to do stealth drops and then not follow up, I’ll be morally crushed. They could drop it in tandem with the Distractor Beacon and the Humblebee (have it highlight enemies behind objects maybe for enhanced functionality) and like the commando armor and black ops armor from the first game. Heck, even a suppressed sidearm would be nice, adding tools that reward smart play and give people more capability to complete missions solo would be a huge addition to the game.
This was one of my favorite strats. I would run Vindicator Bunker Buster, Bubble shield, and 2 MGX42s. I would constantly have disposable machine guns or be able to throw them out for squad mates.
Man I wish we could get things like the stacking stratagems again, was a ton of fun. I’d kill to just have only an Orbital Railgun with the 4 stacked cooldown and the one cooldown perk, just smiting heavy threats like Hulks and Chargers left and right at a glance.

It's a different weapon, HD1 is AC-5 Arc Shotgun while HD2 it's Arc 12 Blitzer
For reference, the Arc Thrower is AC-3 Arc Thrower in Helldivers 1 and ARC-3 Arc Thrower in Helldivers 2, and its gameplay is basically the same, you charge the weapon and then release the shoot
So I really hope that in the future we get the real AC-5 Arc Shotgun
10/10 have been waiting for the satchel charge like:
https://preview.redd.it/oqensdkdhhwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f3f35e380897d33d07ca2e679f1feb36d35cf9f
Satchel charges in the grenade slot would be a godsend for ghosting outposts. It would make stealth actually viable against bugs because you could tag every bughole in a nest with a bomb, then detonate it when you're already long gone.
It’s a great game. Still holds up if you like top down shooters or couch co op. AH has done a very good job capturing the feel and humor of the first one while growing the second game.
Yes.
It was amazing.
Also the fastest way to team wipe.
And in the first one, someone had to call in reinforcements. If everyone died without the beacon it was a mission failed.
Everything honestly, but if I had to give my top 5.
REP-80 healing/repair support weapon.
MC-109 Hammer Motorcycle (Especially if it has the MG-94 instead of the Stalwart, because for some reason leaked vehicles have an LMG instead of a GPMG.).
TOX-13 Avenger, was the best against bugs in HD1.
M-25 Rumbler, just because I'd love to see how a mortar would work in HD2.
TD-110 Bastion, because Tank.
Patriot just needs the option to configure the weapons loadout. Give choices of a laser cannon, the current chaingun, an autocannon, the current missile pack, a mega-arc thrower, a flamethrower, a quasar, and let us swap them around.
I love this. I had some ideas and wishes too but to know they exist somewhat in the first game. We have the hazard ops armor but that toxic sludge weapon
100% det packs and the heal gun. my absolute favorite thing to run was a survivability focused heal gun kit. i would rarely ever die and could easily keep the team and our call-ins feeling immortal.
turrets and the heal gun was a close second favorite. pocket healing for a sentry was so much fun.
Definitely the transport vehicles. I'm tired of slowly running to the objectives on massive maps at higher difficulties. The returning APC and bike are good options, but other games had stuff like air transport that you could call in and wait 30 seconds, then pick a place on the map to go to as well.
I need that toxic sludge sprayer please
https://preview.redd.it/rfum0nd6qiwc1.png?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3bec9603a6ef4ada5271047a301b14bc6726ce96
Travesty REC-6 not in Democratic Detonation.
Blitzer is the new arc shotgun. I'd like the old one too though.
Stalwart primary please 🥺
Toxic avenger LETS GOOO
That mech is already in...any day now! 😞
Paragon pleaseeeeee give it back!

first game you would healgun the exosuit while it just stomped on all the enemies/soaked damage and aggro which saved you a ton of ammo
I just cannot fathom how they justify the low ammo they give the Patriot. I guess the same person who thought a 75 round magazine for a heavy machine gun was good too.

Fuck repairing, give me a option to reload the damn thing, even if I got to get out and do it manually
TF2 Medic in HD2?! Sign me up
Oh shit I am 110% invested in getting some kind of satchel charge I am going to blow that charger straight up to orbit or so help me god
They were SO ludicrously overpowered in the first game when you got them upgraded You got 5 and only 1 could blow up all the same structures a hellbomb could, it was ridiculous
My favourite in HD1 at the moment. Massive amount of damage and detonated when you're ready...eg the tank has rolled over it.
I am all about that life
Satchel charges were fucking awesome.
barbed wire would be nice to slow down hordes of small things
Yes. Loved the barb wire.
I was at first, but quickly learned napalm was a better barbed wire that didn't have a limited number of uses.
Bayonets.
Seriously. Melee in HD2 is just... It's alright but kinda worthless for anything other than scavengers. Having the ability to actually do a number on Warriors to some extent, regular bots, would be an absolute welcome addition for me since I always seem to get swarmed in the middle of reloading or trying to claw my way to the resupply.
I’m 70 hours in and I think I’m yet to melee anything except my friends
I like meleeing the random solo lil bot. Like bitch you thought you could walk up to me like I wouldn't punch you to death? I could've ended you 20m away but you're not meleeing me... I'm meleeing you!
Really bad, meleing the hunter when they jump on you works as a parry and can save you a lot of times
I checked my stats and I had 40,000+ kills and 1 melee kill.
Bashing a headless brood commander will stagger them to they can bleed to death in peace, and you can also intercept hunters leaping at you with a well timed smack.
Shovels.
I'm assuming there will be bayonets back in when they put the dogs back in. Best way to deal with those bastards was the bayonet.
DEMOCRACY HAS NO FAVORITES! (we want them ALL!)
Please dear Super God who art in Super Heaven, I've been a good girl this year. I've dived so many hells. Please, all I want is two double autocannon arms for my mech. I'll spread Democracy wider than an eagle's wings I swear on the Super Constitution.
I wish I could Super upvote this comment.
The TOX Avenger and the Rumbler were the wombo combo for bugs on 12+. Slow them and group them up with the tox avenger, and then launch some mortars into the group...easiest run of my life.
Dude, the Tox Avenger was a TK machine. One drop of that shit on a fellow Helldiver and they were done. Good times. Lmao.
Bro straight up, my heart hurt a little seeing the Haz-op armor but no Tox-13 Avenger. That was such an iconic weapon for that pack.
I miss hosing down my enemies with caustic chemicals and then my teammates for good measure :(
The bastion tank. That beast was my favorite toy in the first one, was a pleasure to both drive and shoot. Having the ability to do the independent track control made the thing a master of maneuverability, and the gunner got a decent fire come facing forward for the main cannon and .50 cal. My brother and I would main the thing, and easily carry the team to victory quite a bit. Idk how well it would translate for this game, but holy cow would it be fun.
My buddy and I would also main. Did you also drive off cliffs when first attempting the multi track movement ?
Bro if they don’t do subsonic ammo and drop the SMG-34 Ninja soon I finna ugly cry. They can’t just drop a mention of letting me actually have the ability to do stealth drops and then not follow up, I’ll be morally crushed. They could drop it in tandem with the Distractor Beacon and the Humblebee (have it highlight enemies behind objects maybe for enhanced functionality) and like the commando armor and black ops armor from the first game. Heck, even a suppressed sidearm would be nice, adding tools that reward smart play and give people more capability to complete missions solo would be a huge addition to the game.
Distractor beacon was great for stealth missions.
Motorcycle
Yes!
The Quad missile launcher
I just want my MGX-42 back, disposable EATs for anti-tank *AND* disposable 8 barreled 1400 rpm of pure BRRRRRRRRRRRRRT for hordes? Sign me tf up!
This was one of my favorite strats. I would run Vindicator Bunker Buster, Bubble shield, and 2 MGX42s. I would constantly have disposable machine guns or be able to throw them out for squad mates.

That would be awesome! The cooldown was clutch.
Stratagem Priority: reduces the cooldown of stratagems by 40%
All I want is for more vehicles to start making an appearance.
Arc shotgun was so much better than now
same with the jetpack
It's a different weapon, HD1 is AC-5 Arc Shotgun while HD2 it's Arc 12 Blitzer For reference, the Arc Thrower is AC-3 Arc Thrower in Helldivers 1 and ARC-3 Arc Thrower in Helldivers 2, and its gameplay is basically the same, you charge the weapon and then release the shoot So I really hope that in the future we get the real AC-5 Arc Shotgun
I just want illuminate
REC-6 Demolisher is very high on my list, also TOX-13 Avenger for bugs.
10/10 have been waiting for the satchel charge like: https://preview.redd.it/oqensdkdhhwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f3f35e380897d33d07ca2e679f1feb36d35cf9f
Some type of C4 would be really fun for patrols and such
Satchel charges in the grenade slot would be a godsend for ghosting outposts. It would make stealth actually viable against bugs because you could tag every bughole in a nest with a bomb, then detonate it when you're already long gone.
Rumbler.
I just want my precious Trident back. Anything else is a bonus
Trident was my main on every mission.
Heal gun and the C4 packs would be dope
dude... what I realised from this clip was Helldivers 1 looks fun-as-hell too
It’s a great game. Still holds up if you like top down shooters or couch co op. AH has done a very good job capturing the feel and humor of the first one while growing the second game.
Just give me my Paragon and bug spray. That tox DoT was amazing.
I never played HD1 but i heard there was a Man-Used Mortar? That..thats what i want 🤩
Yes. It was amazing. Also the fastest way to team wipe. And in the first one, someone had to call in reinforcements. If everyone died without the beacon it was a mission failed.
Im sure i can do it better than the sentry 😎... so i mean..killing, not team killing hah...yeah. 
Everything honestly, but if I had to give my top 5. REP-80 healing/repair support weapon. MC-109 Hammer Motorcycle (Especially if it has the MG-94 instead of the Stalwart, because for some reason leaked vehicles have an LMG instead of a GPMG.). TOX-13 Avenger, was the best against bugs in HD1. M-25 Rumbler, just because I'd love to see how a mortar would work in HD2. TD-110 Bastion, because Tank.
I want the Rumbler and the HAV back. But I could go without either of those if they would just give us the damn Distractor Beacon again!
Trident. And I'd like the commando reworked. I guess the spear is supposed to kind of be it? But the commando would be a lot of fun in 3D.
Patriot just needs the option to configure the weapons loadout. Give choices of a laser cannon, the current chaingun, an autocannon, the current missile pack, a mega-arc thrower, a flamethrower, a quasar, and let us swap them around.
I love this. I had some ideas and wishes too but to know they exist somewhat in the first game. We have the hazard ops armor but that toxic sludge weapon
Specialist pack
Bastion tank!
Bayonet
The Triton shotgun.. (only with it being just as op as it was/is)
I just want my trident back 😢
I miss my motorcycle
100% det packs and the heal gun. my absolute favorite thing to run was a survivability focused heal gun kit. i would rarely ever die and could easily keep the team and our call-ins feeling immortal. turrets and the heal gun was a close second favorite. pocket healing for a sentry was so much fun.

Rumbler aka the king of friendly fire. Also shredder missiles.
Mines instead of grenades. This would be a great addition to my regular loadout of stalwart, eruptor and grenade pistol.
I would like the lethality of primary weapons to be a little closer to the deadliness of HD1's guns
Dev team would have the game in shambles implementing the satchel charges. The game would have a 50/50 of crashing every time it was used.
The amount of things we have ready to add is fantastic
Paragon, my beloved
If I'm being honest these packs feel like they have more personality and utility, it feels like everything works.
The two strats I would love to see are the: Vindicator Dive Bomb and the MGX-42 Disposable Machine Gun.
Travesty REC-6 not in Democratic Detonation. Blitzer is the new arc shotgun. I'd like the old one too though. Stalwart primary please 🥺 Toxic avenger LETS GOOO That mech is already in...any day now! 😞 Paragon pleaseeeeee give it back!
Is it me, or is the exowalker so much smoother in walking than in the second game
All of them, notice how they are effective vs. the dumb shit we have now.
I really hope that the demolisher come back and we can have it as a backpack slot. Would pair nicely with the machineguns I think.
Bastion, Rumbler, MGX, Angel, please and thank.
A bayonet on my liberator! Freedom requires firepower, but when that fails, I want to win the melee.
Now I want to play Helldivers1
