While it may not come across like it,Helldivers 2is very much reliant on people working together to conquer missions. Super Earth can only reign supreme if every Helldiver walks arm-in-arm towards sweet democracy. So, while you may be playing for yourself, you need to remember that you are part of a team.
Effective teamwork would result in more than just successful missions, though. If the developers see players are open to working as a team, they may be more inclined to offer team-focused gear. One such addition is the minigun, but this would come with some caveats.
The Helldivers 2 Community Needs to Band Together for Firepower
The minigun is a classic weapon found in practically every game that involves guns. While some characters may choose to handle the massive weapon solo, it is supposed to be a two-person weapon. Given its requirement for a second person to help in handling, it seems like an ideal addition forHelldivers 2.
Redditor Impressive_Truth_695 felt the same way as they made a post about the weapon on the Helldivers subreddit. They say the minigun can be well-balanced if it’s made into a team weapon. The image is that of a Vulcan Gatling Gun fromGears of Warto show the coordination of the team members,and it could be added via an upcoming Warbond.

While this idea sounds great on paper, the community pointed out some very glaring flaws in the plan. The first, and most important, is that very few people would want to be the person holding the ammo. People want action, and lugging around hundreds of rounds of ammo only to have someone else shoot them is not super appealing.
Others suggested ways in which you could eliminate the need for a second person to man the gun. One comment states modern miniguns are belt-fed, so they don’t need a second person to constantly feed ammo. Another is to make the gun fire lasers, thereby eliminating high recoil and also making it easier to carry around ammo.
Helldivers 2 Fans Offer Ideas for More than Just Miniguns
The community is very forthcoming with ideas for new armor, weapons, and even stratagems. They have already given an idea for an entirely new kind of drone that would be a great tool against heavily armored enemies. There are already two drones in the game, butthe Suicide Drone would be able to flyinto tanked targets and inflict massive damage.
“Because the game is balanced on behalf of our enemies, not us”: Helldivers 2 Fans are Now Realizing 1 Armor Option is Entirely Pointless
Others are questioning the use of armor in the game and why heavy armor is unable to prevent a majority of the stagger damage. The community responded to this query by stating that the developers have skewed the balance of the game in favor of the opposing faction.
As players are asking for new things to be added to the game, Arrowhead Game Studios is also working towards bringing new content via monthly Warbonds. With May approaching a close, we can expect to learn about June’s Warbond very soon, and it would be great if Arrowhead took ideas from the community.
What additions would you like to see in the new Warbond? Let us know in the comments below!

Gaming was one of my earliest passions then along came writing, and here we are. I’ve been in the content creation space for several years now and as gamer for even longer. From understanding the complexities of a multilayer narrative to the simply joy of “big gun go boom”, my goal is to capture all the emotions in between and put them down in an engaging manner.
