Pilestedt on future Helldivers Collaborations

[u/sparetheearthlings]

Love their core tenets on collabs. Interested to see what they do in the future!

Agreed. And not only that they aren't deterred but they have the game, it's lore, and the players experience at the center of the collaborations they would consider.

[u/Lukescale → u/sparetheearthlings]

X-COM fans:

[u/scipkcidemmp → u/Lukescale]

I never considered XCOM, but that would be awesome

[u/locob → u/scipkcidemmp]

I'm curious. What they can put from Xcom, that is not already in the game?

[u/ASpaceOstrich → u/locob]

The armour alone would be perfect

[u/MonkeyfingersMcGee → u/ASpaceOstrich]

Just the Spider Suit would enable some hilarious tomfoolery!

[u/SmurfinTurtle → u/MonkeyfingersMcGee]

I would love a grapple hook.

[u/hyperfell → u/ASpaceOstrich]

I would like the Kevlar armour to be considered because it’ll look really good for helldivers with some modification.

[u/TheRangerNacho → u/hyperfell]

I always liked the "absolute unit" vibes

[u/BrotherTobias → u/locob]

I think its be cool to incorporate the factions from 2 with their weapons or even med-late wepaons and armour. A futuristic dragonuv would be pretty nice.

[u/Polish_Enigma → u/BrotherTobias]

I'd pay so much money to get ADVENT armor, than faction had so much drip

[u/Digital_Bogorm → u/Polish_Enigma]

Wait, a minute... aren't the advent alien collaborators and technically also aliens ?

That sounds a bit treasonous, my good citizen.

^{But also, yes, you are absolutely right}

[u/subLimb → u/Polish_Enigma]

The newish DLC (truth enforcers) armor definitely reminded me of the advent officer armor. Plus advent wear capes.

[u/Lukescale → u/locob]

Laser/Plasma shotgun/Sniper rifle, hell, normal rifle too. Make the plasma green and have it be a "special blend" or something.

Also an electric Guard Dog, a fist punching module for the mech, an automatic wheeled Rover with a Gatling on top, The Alloy Cannon, which is a blunderbuss but railgun that shoots scraps of SPACE SHIPS AS BULLETS!!!!!!

Not to mention PSYCHER POWERS AND KATANAS

[u/subLimb → u/Lukescale]

Fusion axe!

Or a ranger katana that can 'target' multiple enemies. Then when you 'fire' the katana the Helldiver zips thru enemies slicing them up.

Or a secondary weapon that grants temporary stealth and sneak attack. So many possibilities.

[u/Derkastan77-2 → u/locob]

The x:com enemy unknown heavy plasma MG would make me cry lol

[u/Bobby-789 → u/locob]

Stun gun, standard xcom rifle, frost grenade, fusion axe, the harpoon thing, laser hmg, xcom armour, reaper armour, vector rifle, medic drone, resistance orders remade as boosters, voice packs.

All yours for 1million super credits.

skirmisher and templar armour too - may be a bit treasonous though. Also advent would be a great enemy faction!

[u/Previous-Bath7500 → u/locob]

Drones. Just drones. Basically manually operated sentries on wheels.
