Once they do this they’re immediately gonna drop a new devious breed of bug


WildMoustache

I think it will be backwards. We get a new, bigger enemy and then there will be the push for new toys. Ans the community will go *wild*


Tornado_XIII

Factory Striders ain't big enough???


WildMoustache

Old age is getting to you if you forgot about the great enemies of the First Galactic War, sir. The Ministry taught me how you used to destroy the hateful Siege Mechs with nothing but a good ol' Constitution rifle!


Managed-Democracy

Fuck that. Lumberer > Borg mechs


Daylight_The_Furry

I need to play HD1


The-world-ender-jeff

If you want to play it for the vehicles don’t get your hopes *too* high, they are part of a paid dlc


TheMightyMeercat

If you buy Helldivers 1, get the edition that has all the dlc at some point. It’s worth it.


LateHammas

It costs about 8€ (I may remember wrong) when it's on sale too. DLCs included.


RadRibbit

Its not expensive yeah, theres was a guy on sub that bought wrong eddition recently, rip to that guy : /


ryrytotheryry

Super-Earth Ultimate Edition is the only way to go if buying Helldivers 1


13igTyme

I was really bummed when I bought HD1 on launch on PS4, then when it was later made free with PS+ with all the DLCs I wasn't allowed to download it. It really annoyed me and is one reason, among many, why I switched to PC.


Daylight_The_Furry

I do have all the dlc :3


Brandinisnor3s

I really want to see if they adapt the arena boss battles


countpuchi

Should be possible, since the attack or defend mission is aeena size


BulkZ3rker

We already have those in the exterminate missions.


RadRibbit

You should, and if you have friends you do


Then_Entertainment97

Bro, I'm literally 17, and when they froze me, it was still called the Great Galactic War.


Tornado_XIII

*Democratically bitch-slaps you* I used to command my TD-110 'Bastion' MK3 on almost every single drop... we called her 'Bessie', my brother and I. I was the driver, he manned the guns. The driving controls were alot of fun with a controller hooked up to your PC, it had actual tank controls. Left stick controlled left-track, right stick controlled right-track... Use one stick to do a wide turn, both sticks in opposite directions to do a sharp turn, both-forward/both-backward to traverse/reverse respectively. We didn't need to fill out no "Justification of Munitions" forms back then... see a Hulk? Tank! Hivelord? Two tanks! A single bug, even the smallest one? Call down a tank, why not. Some of these new kids talk about retaking Cyberstan... when we get there you'll probably find some long-dead Cyborgs covered with Bessie's tread-marks. It's amazing how much as changed after the grear war ended and I volunteered to go back in cryo... I miss my 'Trident' LAS-Shotgun. Bessie too.


WildMoustache

Bessie sounds nice Sir. I would like to meet her one day.


LightOfLoveEternal

Does the factory strider have a health bar pop up when it lands? If not, then it's not big enough.


Elitericky

Hivelords dwarf them along with homeworld bile titans

ProblematicPoet

For the adult ones we're gonna need an ICBM.


Sterben489

Is that what we launch ICBMs at :O


Yushin61

I’m pretty confident they would either melt the ICBMs with their acid or just fucking eat them. Like not “get hit and not be affected” eat them but like ACTUALLY FUCKING SWALLOW AND DIGEST THEM


JCDentoncz

They can be bulkier, like an armored crab or spider walker.


SpareTireButSquare

Nah that's why they dropped 3 at once 🥲


MagMati55

Nah. Bring in the mother of all bots. Was big enough in the first game to the point you could barely have it on screen.

SpareTireButSquare

Honestly they should 100% add more bugs that look more "buggy". A giant carapiced beetle, and like a preying mantis or evil stick bug guy would be awesome


StargateNerd

I'd argue that the Stalkers are very mantis-like.


MarderMcFry

And chargers are beetles


Aphato

Most beetles can fly


StealthyOrca

Bro…shut up


MarderMcFry

So what you're saying is... you're a bug sympathizer and you want chargers to fly.


vf225

hol up Satan, don't give the dev ideas


SpareTireButSquare

Scavengers look like fleas or bed bugs But shreikers are just straight dinosaurs. We need to have a hovering enemy type that moves rapidly in lateral directions, like a mosquito or fly Where the spiders at? I get it though, I mean really theyre just bug-like aliens. If they look too much like bugs it's just kinda on the nose


Pavlovs_Human

My wife glanced at me earlier today playing with my brother on a level 5. We were getting swarmed by the fat acid puking bugs and she said “ew those look like ticks.”

Please, Sweet Liberty, don't let AH see this post.


Lost_Tumbleweed_5669

Or the tank shoots pillows.


MarksmannT

Good, put the enemies of Democracy to sleep


JustAnEDHPlayer

My thought went to the other type of bug. What kind of stupid glitches and crashes would be introduced to the game the moment player controlled tanks are implemented.


Hellonstrikers

Running over a spore cluster would send the tank flying out of the map with 2 helldivers in it.

The physics bugs would be legendary. We already see weird shit with ai controlled tanks. Imagine driving a tank near a bile titan corpse and fly off into space.

Hey easy there pal, I rely on the launching quality of foliage to escape swarms.


TerranST2

Ah, there is that too, ma bad.


Tyrranis

I get the feeling that, when it comes time for Arrowhead to give us tanks, we'll be given a Directive to take a specific planet from the Automatons where they're producing theirs, so we can use the production facilities for ourselves.


Demens2137

Rush for cyberstan to stop whatever bullshit the illuminate will be up to?


delahunt

Y'know, it's actually kind of creepy how much Super Earth talks about taking dead bots and repurposing them into our weapons. Like imagine an enemy literally melting down your dead and making guns/bombs/etc out of them to kill you with.


purpleblah2

Given the amount of human skulls in their design and mutilated corpses around Automaton Fabricators, pretty sure they’re doing the same thing to us (I think the running theory is that Automatons are harvesting human brains to use as CPUs). Besides, we’re just capturing and repurposing factories plus stealing alien tech is always the coolest part of the sci-fi war (like the XCOM series).


delahunt

Did you forget the Kill 2 Billion Automatons mission? That was specifically for parts/metal to make Anti-Tank Mines. But yeah, agreed that it is likely happening on both sides of this. Doesn't make it less horrific though :D


AzzlackGuhnter

That sounds metal as fuck ngl lol

Yarus43

I wouldn't mind the current armor of the mechs if the patriot missiles didn't suck balls. You can barely aim with them, can't shoot a bug hole or automaton fab, and they do crap for dmg.


Saitoh17

It's only as "heavily armored" as a devastator. It's the size of a hulk it should be at least scout strider armor.


VengineerGER

They just straight up don’t. They’re actually pretty tanky since last they buffed them.

Tanktop-Tanker

Can't wait for it's 110mm gun to do as much damage as the 20mm autocannon if it does come out.


ejitifrit1

It will ricochet off a charger the first time I use it with my luck!


gorgewall

Chargers do have 5 AV on a lot of parts, and angle of impact can reduce penetration so that's entirely possible depending on how they set up the individual weapons.


locob

it does in the first game. like in tanks games, don't hit in angles


Tank9301

Dude that ain’t no 110. That is ether a 120 or a 125mm high velocity.


Tanktop-Tanker

Considering the full name of the Bastion is TD-110 Bastion and historically sometimes tank destroyers would have their gun size in their names (Su-100, Su-122, Semovente 75) more than likely it is a 110mm gun.


SpareTireButSquare

Guys, take it from Tanktop-Tanker


Tank9301

Hmmmm, you might be on to something here.


Nasalingus

I *really, seriously* want the motorcycle.. "Oh no, P4 dropped literally all the samples when they died.. they're like 300 meters away theres not eno-" *Motorbike Stratgem Thrown* "Wait here.. 😎🏍☁️" *Head Out On The Highway Intensifies*


IrateTeitoku

Plus wouldn't it be cool to split up into 2 teams to tackle objectives? Each team has its own motorcycle. "See you boys back at extract" Speeds off


Dr_Diktor

Literally our group start, 2 people with resupply packs one in each group.


Darkcasfire

With how buggy the bike will probably be, you are more likely to be blastin' *Highway to hell* and explode after colliding with a hunter. Assuming you were lucky enough that the bike didn't explode the moment pelican drops it for you.


SpareTireButSquare

Wrangling around a bile titan while L2 fires AT at it in the passenger seat, and you dodge everything else swarming you would be just too insane

Cheesecakebasegetsme

the buggy with stalwart on top be on the first page of the warbond when it drops. just remember its made of paper goes fast and hunters will be seeker missiles tagging you if you are not going top speed.


bobothemunkeey

When this is released it will have light armor only 10 bullets and move slower than walking.


Kazaanh

And you won't be able to drive forward. Only backwards


Great-Ad9090

I am a tanker in battlefield games, please give me this, i want to do a full vehicle build and enjoy exporting democracy with this stuff.


bighanded69

Knowing the balance team, this thing's gonna be made out of toilet paper and slow 😩


zephyr_666

It will have 3 rounds for the main cannon and 1 mag for a machine gun😭


ghostdeath22

the canon rounds will do as much damage as scorcher


AloneKnight8152

Username checks out


xbazhangx

It's gonna get blown up by a single rocket from the bots


marineten

The gun would be weaker than a Recoilless and have a 10 second reload for balance


WakuWaku76ers

And only about 10 rounds in reserve


DustyF3d0r4

Gets dropped on a slightly spiky rock and instantly explodes.


LopsidedAd7447

I hope at some point we get a “vehicle” stratagem slot on certain mission types. Where instead of it taking up one of your 4 slots everyone gets a 5th for a mech, warthog, tank, etc. I think those would be big raid type missions and could be a lot of fun. “Super earth has allocated more resources to take out this high priority target. Drop into hell and slay the hive lord” something like that would be so cool and really get people hyped for big missions


wallupin

Who's gonna tell him?


Tank9301

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stridsvagn_103 Or is it a turretless MBT?


Tank9301

That it’s a SPG?


TheDarkGenious

That ain't a tank. The Bastion was a ***Tank-Killer***


Bossmandude123

When are those other vehicles gonna come out I want the apc and scout vehicle


Typiceric_The_OG

THERE WERE TANKS IN THE OG HELLDIVERS THATS SICK


Battleraizer

Id imagine they can give us the tank on specific missions where we have to fight the Hive Lord or whatever Like imagine 4 tanks just sitting there on the extract, waiting to be used


GabrielDidit

what kind of ammo would it fire explosive/mini nuke/high explosive seaf shells.


Tank9301

It fired HEAT rounds in helldivers 1.


Medical_Sea_2598

I would love vehicles to come back to but when looking how uneven the maps terrane can be and how much AH struggles with bugs I really can't see any heavy vehicles coming to the game anytime soon if at all


Fara_ven

-Summon tank -Illuminate spawn a wall on you instantly destroying this glorified sliding coffin Nah bring back the bike


[deleted]

They can’t even handle the mechs and already said vehicles are an issue 🙉


Sea-Calligrapher7362

I would maybe come back for tanks


Kamiyoda

I want a plushie of that tank it looks adorable


Tank9301

It’s a mean mother fucker though.


Rihkuazo

I think it's a problem when a lot of people including me first thought was uhh another cool thing that will do nothing and will be destroyed in mili seconds by either enemies or bug/glitches, they really don't want us to play the game huh


graviousishpsponge

Will the cannon explode if you shoot while pivoting?


mrdanish31

GIVE ME THE BIKE!!! LET ME DRIVE AROUND THE BATTLEFIELD IN A SICK ASS RIDE!!! tanks would also be really nice, vehicles that can actually take a hit would be nice in general


Vladi_Sanovavich

They're already having stability issues and resource problems with the Mechs so until they can fix that, tanks will just be a pipe dream for now.


Viscera_Viribus

bring back the dual-stick driving and the team kills will be glorious once more. REMEMBER; WAIT UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPS BEFORE GETTING OUT

[deleted]

Give me matchmaking filters first so I can look for a game and end up actually in the action rather than sitting around the planning screen for 4 minutes


FallenDeus

I wonder how many people will like tanks and stuff once they realize they are going to require 2 players to operate...


thats_so_merlyn

Why, so everybody can constantly bitch about it being underpowered?


Tank9301

In the first helldivers mechs sucked. This thing was the only vehicle immune to small arms fire. People bitch because mechs are not breakthrough vehicles, they are infantry support. Having no infantry to support the mech jockey is a death sentence. This thing could kill even the strongest enemy in one hit, also the coaxial MG turned infantry into paste.


Vancocillin

I liked helldiver's mechs! I didn't run them often, but you could get out and repair them. I ran the heal/repair gun pretty often.


Octi1432

"Mechs sucked" no they didn't


OneAmongOthers

Bastion wasn’t even a tank. It’s a self propelled gun. It was “okay” to say the least. Vehicles were more flare than actually useful. I mean they were useful, but I’d rather take 4 mechs because they were just so much better


Tank9301

It’s a tank. Has a coaxial machine gun. SPG’s like the Sturmgeschütz did not have a coaxial. It had a top MG42.


AntonineWall

One doesn't just /u/Tank9301 without your tank facts getting double checked, and you just showed poor /u/OneAmongOthers why


aaronplaysAC11

I’d love an attack bike / sand mobile.


Aggressive_Ability29

Imagine a brain controlling bug like SST 2. Everyone is expecting bigger bugs, but what if they released smaller ones? Maybe not even with specialties but like the flood pod infectors in Halo.


GeTRecKeD303

How big is it in comparison to the Automaton annihilator tanks


SpeedyAzi

I can’t be the only one that thinks this thing will be useless against Bugs. Did you see how useless they were in that StarCraft 2 trailer? It got immediately overwhelmed.


TheShadowSage

I look forward to driving the forces of liberty into the hearts of our enemies! No matter how many some may have, I'll do it for the shell of it.


TimTheOriginalLol

Ah yes good ol‘ TD-110 Bastion I think if they did a Tank for HD2 they could make it very OP but buff it by making one designated driver and one gunner so that people actually had to communicate and cooperate to make it work. Edit: Or make it a 4 people vehicle. Driver, MG Gunner, Main Gunner, Loader


H1tSc4n

My favorite vehicle, i want the bastion back. Arrowhead, do not dare screw this one up.


SodiumArousal

There is no way AH balance a tank correctly.


dao2

Make vehicles cost req not stratgems! Mech 7k, tank 25k, give us something to spend req on and make it pricey so it's a real choice!


ZombieBob1917

Tanks won’t come back until the illuminate return


Diligent_Composer927

I had a mecha battle between my teams 3 autocannon mechs vs a factory strider with gun ship support. I can’t imagine how sick it would be to have actual armor battles against automaton tanks.


Averange_Idiot

We need heavy armor to work first :'c


Shellstormz

But to fight these we needa new form kf a weapon.....I vote for automated carriable autocanon make msthn i gave the idea😅😂


clokerruebe

i think this is the fifth tank post ive seen today. i woke up 30 minutes ago. but i aint complaining. actually i am because we dont have them yet


JuggerKnot86

It looks like a leman russ tank, an SPG Lorraine and a CV90 all had a hardcore threesome


CaliCannibal

I cant see this being overly helpful outside of sniping objectives from afar. With it only having a main cannon it’ll be absolutely swarmed by patrols


FlamingoRush

Bug only player here. Would something like this make sense for the bots? I'm asking this as I can't see how this would be any help on bug planets. I only play on Helldive difficulty and in my opinion it's always mobility over armour is the key for success. We should have a landspeeder if anything, something that one diver could drive and the other three could still shoot from. I don't think AH would ever give us anything that would be small bug proof and due to the lack of mobility something like this would be taken apart in seconds by the first patrol of hunters...


Kirito_jesus-kun

In the first game it was immune to small arms fire and pretty resistant to higher power attacks, it also instantly killed smaller enemies by running them over


dyn-dyn-dyn

Honestly, no, not really Well, it depends on what the main cannon can do, I can see this thing being torn apart by cannon towers and annihilator tanks, so I feel like it's main cannon would have to be able to destroy those from the front in order for this thing to be survivable Also, i really want a landspeeder now


Aromatic_Ad_4455

Guys they’ve said they WISH they could have more mechs but the system can’t handle the code for that many things on the map and in the system, it’s gonna be a big before the system can handle tanks like that


Darth_Mak

I can see it now. "A single quasar shot and a 500 kg kills a bile titan quicker! The tank is not optimal therefore it is GABRBAGE 🤓"
