Helldivers 2: Divers Asking For a Dedicated Anti-Tank Rifle Are Completely Missing the Point

SUMMARY

• A Helldivers 2 player is asking Arrowhead Game Studios to add a Stratagem that already exists in the game.
• The player wants an Anti-Tank Rifle that takes out enemies in a single shot, however, the Recoilless Rifle is capable of doing exactly what the player described.
• The Helldivers 2 community has shared some unique and wild ideas that could make Helldivers 2 much more exciting.

Anti-Tank Stratagems are quite popular in Helldivers 2 right now, mainly because they’re highly effective against Illuminate forces. Thanks to the introduction of the Illuminate, Helldivers 2 gained a large number of new players who still haven’t explored all the existing Stratagems in the game. Arrowhead Game Studios really values players’ feedback. However, players asking for variations of an existing Stratagem will never work.

A Helldivers 2 player suggested that the game should have an Anti-Tank rifle, a large sniper-like rifle that can “one-shot” every enemy in the game, except some heavy units. The idea is indeed unique, however, there is one problem: it already exists in the game.

On the r/helldivers2 subreddit, a Helldivers 2 player suggested that Arrowhead Game Studios should add an Anti-Tank rifle that is capable of taking out all enemies (except Charger, Bile Titan, and Factory Strider) in a single shot. The player even attached a rough sketch of what they have visualized.

It’s certainly exciting to see what players have in mind to make Helldivers 2 better. However, this type of rifle would never be added to the game because the GR-8 Recoilless Rifle already exists. Yes, it doesn’t look exactly like what the player explained, but this rifle is capable of doing exactly what the player said: take out enemies in a single shot.

This extremely overpowered weapon unlocks at level 5 and can be purchased for 6000 Requisition. Its only drawback is that players will have to reload after every shot, which requires them to stop and kneel. It’s a great Stratagem when players have to take out heavy units while their teammates provide cover.

Helldivers 2 players have shared some wild ideas

The r/helldivers2 subreddit is the perfect place for Helldivers 2 players to share their unique and wild ideas. While this idea wasn’t exactly groundbreaking, others will certainly fascinate you. Recently, players put a spotlight on Arc-based weapons, suggesting that Arrowhead should add more of those in the game. One idea that everyone loved was a Tesla grenade, that would stick to any surface and works like a small Tesla tower for a short period of time.

Some new Anti-Tank Stratagems should certainly be added to the game since game director Mikael Eriksson has confirmed in an interview with IGN that Anti-Tank Stratagems are the best against Illuminate spawn ships, encounter ships, and the Harvesters. Apart from this, the Guard Dog is also a good Stratagem that players should try on Illuminate missions as it can take care of hordes of Voteless that get too close to players.
