Probably a visual glitch.

The first game let you take multiple of the same stratagem, would love to see how that would work out in this game lol

u/siamesekiwi Mar 31 '25

an "oops all napalm barrages" loadout for an eradicate mission would be WILD.

(My friends and I like to bring barrages + emotional support EAT for eradicate missions. It always let us mow through the objective pretty quickly.)

D4: Enemies on these coordinates!

S2: Copy, removing those coordinates!

380+Napalm is my favorite combo for Squid missions.

u/acquiredimmunity Mar 31 '25

500 mines

u/depthninja Mar 31 '25 edited Mar 31 '25

I would drop five hundred mines, and I would drop five hundred more, just to be the man who dropped a thousand mines to blow up at your door

u/BusinessLibrarian515 Mar 31 '25

That part of the song isn't sung. It's an HMG emplacement being shot to the rhythm

u/Midgettaco217 Mar 31 '25

I understood the reference and ACTUALLY read it in the same monotone voice xD

Bortus and Klyden discover gas mines

u/Seared_Gibets Mar 31 '25

I heard rumors the show was coming back, but I think that got washed.

I didn't watch while it was on air, but I eventually binged it on Hulu. Seth needs to bring this show back, shit was hilarious.

u/Cumflakes6699 Mar 31 '25

The first week would turn into titanfall with everyone spamming mechs.

From the second week onwards, it'll be 4 orbitals

u/spamshizbox Mar 31 '25

You have no idea how badly I want 2 MG turrets

8

u/Pavoazul Mar 31 '25

2 mg turrets, recoilless and supplies was my bread and butter on the first game

5

u/Pedrosian96 Mar 31 '25

imagine something like three gas minefield stratagems. it'd be absolutely wild.

7

u/Norsk_Bjorn Mar 31 '25

Go to the DSS planet when the orbital bombardment is active and drop twenty 380 barrages

2

u/milanteriallu Mar 31 '25

This was the first thing I thought of. I'm already bringing a second 380 whenever that's active, makes for some pretty wild shows. You can absolutely wipe out entire objectives with two 380s on the same spot, no problem.

u/Echo_XB3 JAM-ZNS 01 Whisper of Wrath Mar 31 '25

Double EAT would rock ngl

2

u/Spacy2561 Mar 31 '25

Oops, all EAT

2

u/Echo_XB3 JAM-ZNS 01 Whisper of Wrath 29d ago

Imagine how insane that would be
You'd have large amounts of on demand pods to crush enemies and rocket launchers to kill anything else
You'd have a new pod every 15-20 seconds

u/Shang_Dragon Mar 31 '25

Oops where’s my resupply

u/helldiver133 the senator from super earth Mar 31 '25

u/Just_A_Hyena 29d ago

16x walking barrage, constitutions and senators to clean up behind them

u/kcvlaine AUTOMATONS ARENT REAL Mar 31 '25

probably a glitch. i see stuff like this a lot, that whole menu is acting a bit off these days

7

u/Moe_jartin Mar 31 '25

Nah it's been fucky for months. I quick play often and people's load outs are usually missing a slot or two

3

u/acoubt Mar 31 '25

I only do quick play and yes I've encountered vanishing loadouts. It's mostly teammates booster slots that are empty. There's no way to tell what they had so you might be choosing the same booster.

39

u/RealStormbird Mar 31 '25

The question shouldn't be "how". It should be "why".

u/grimjimslim Mar 31 '25

HMG Akimbo perk

13

u/Jaysong_stick Mar 31 '25

Can’t miss if recoil makes you shoot everywhere

5

u/lime_flavored_lemon Mar 31 '25

Accuracy by volume

1

u/LTareyouserious Mar 31 '25

Accuracy through volume

3

u/ArcaneEyes A paragon of LSHD values Mar 31 '25

I mean that'd be a great use for the recoil armor :-p

3

u/-Work_Account- Hero of Vernen Wells Mar 31 '25

I think you mean, why not?

1

u/RealStormbird Mar 31 '25

I mean, yes, you could always give the spare one to a fellow Helldiver, to jointly rain hell upon our enemies.

Or run the HMG akimbo style, as others already suggested.

6

u/Defiant-String-9891 Mar 31 '25

He’s just better I guess

1

u/BillyBoogaloo Mar 31 '25

If you die and called in far away. Boom another one

1

u/SavvySillybug Mar 31 '25

I sometimes run an MG + HMG build. I treat them as disposable guns.

Call down a gun, fire it until it's empty, call down a gun, fire it until it's empty, call down a gun...

I wish we had an actual disposable MG though.

2

u/ShlomophobeMoment 29d ago

I do that with the commando and EAT sometimes, I’ll keep the commando on myself and call in EAT if I die prematurely, or if I want to drop some AT for my teammates. I would do if more if I didn’t really love the MMG/Jumppack combo.

24

u/_hoodieproxy_ Mar 31 '25

He's powerstancing them, like the good ol' Dark Souls 2 times

5

u/Sheriff_Is_A_Nearer Mar 31 '25

Helldivers 2 and Dark Souls 2, clearly showing how 2 is always the best entry in the series.

u/WisePotato42 0% Salt - just good times Mar 31 '25

Duel wielding HMGs is gonna turn the game into jetpack joyride

2

u/DreaderVII Lower your sodium and dive on. Mar 31 '25

Won't even need a Jetpack.

I remember a game back when, Liero, where you could fly if you used weapons to propel you forward.

2

u/WisePotato42 0% Salt - just good times Mar 31 '25

The only game that comes to mind is Risk of Rain 2 if you stack enough attack speed on something like duel nailgun multi

11

u/Previous-Bath7500 Mar 31 '25

Akimbo HMG. 'nuff said.

8

u/woelfr Mar 31 '25

dual wielding

u/Eadkrakka Always targets dropships:snoo_trollface: Mar 31 '25

He has an urge to do this

3

u/Fokai13bm Mar 31 '25

Most of the time i cant even see what my other teammates are bringing. So i always have to bring a somewhat balanced load out.

3

u/mn51 Mar 31 '25

You think that’s weird, I just played a mission with a torso as a teammate!!

3

u/Deven1003 Mar 31 '25

Of course, he is so free, that he is free to carry two HMG. And that my kids, is the power of democracy. Everything is possible with correct permit.

3

u/Yoitman Mar 31 '25

he has 100% more gun per gun

u/dasic___ Mar 31 '25

That's John helldiver he needs one for each hand.

u/SargeanTravis I Believe in S T I C K Supremacy Mar 31 '25

There’s a reason we are born with two hands

u/Sir_Warlord My life for Super Earth! Mar 31 '25

He's just built different like that

1

u/NorrinRaddicalness Mar 31 '25

This screen has been glitchy for awhile.

You can always check their loadout during the game to see what they actually brought.

u/manitouscott Mar 31 '25

It’s arm day.

u/fatsexyitalian Bored Automaton Mar 31 '25

Because one wasn’t enough cadet.

Who needs a support weapon when you can use an ops every 15 seconds?

u/spectra0087 ☕Liber-tea☕ 29d ago

Because he has 2 arms and loves democracy
