Every timeHelldivers 2announces plans for an update, players immediately speculate as to what will come to the game next. This is because its developer, Arrowhead Game Studios, is known for unpredictability, ensuring any patch can bring something nobody would expect. However, excitement and anticipation won’t be enough to keep players around long-term, as the content itself has to be worthwhile. One example of worthwhile content would besomething brand-new forHelldivers 2, and it’s a tool that gives players two things that they’ve requested for a long time.

InHelldivers 2, there are different types of equipment for people to choose from that allow them to fulfill Super Earth’s goal of galactic freedom. A good number of players look forward to updates bringing new stratagems or weapon types, with one form of weapon having been asked about for quite a while: a minigun. Arrowhead Game Studios has the opportunity to provide both of these elements within the same update, as the developer could use the next patch to include a stratagem that players can use to call down the deadly minigun.

Why Helldivers 2 Should Add a Minigun Support Weapon

Out of all the possibilities and candidates for new equipment,adding a minigun toHelldivers 2would make sense for Arrowhead Game Studios to focus on, as there are a few points which make the case for the killing tool to be a support stratagem/

The Case For the Minigun to Be a Fully Free Helldivers 2 Addition

If the minigun support stratagem does end up being added in a future update, then it’s likely it will need to be purchased viaSuper Credits that players can farmor acquire with real-world currency. However, perhaps Arrowhead Game Studios could make it free instead of something that needs to be bought. This would immediately provide players with the fun a minigun is supposed to bring instead of having them grind or go through extra steps to get access to it, pushing them to play and letting the entertainment value of the weapon itself keep them invested as opposed to a tedious or costly process to acquire it. Making it free also provesHelldivers 2is listening to fan requests and is striving to keep them invested in the game, and that kind of good will could inspire newcomers to try out the game.

Players who are itching to see a minigun support weapon stratagem should have their hopes raised, as Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Shams Jorjani provided an encouraging response regardingthe new weapon type inHelldivers 2. Still, there’s no telling when or if it will happen, so fans will simply have to remain hopeful and continue politely requesting the debut of miniguns.
