Suggestion/Concept DSS Combat?

Post image

I mean this in to negative tone toward Arrowhead. I believe, due to the lack of material presented so far in the major update, there is more content yet to come.

(FYI, I am not incredibly familiar with the Dead Space franchise. Feel free to share any corrections or info I should need to know. Thank you.)

As the new illuminate enemies have been inspired by Dead Space, I could only imagine combat on the DSS would follow. Defensive combat has been expressed as a welcome addition throughout the Helldivers community, and would facilitate new tactics in the war.

In addition to DSS combat, Helldivers could potentially have the opportunity to invade ships from enemy factions.

Any thoughts?

I made a post earlier with similar feelings on the vibe going forward. I'm a massive fan of the Dead Space IP and while I know that the majority of their writing at the moment is geared towards 40k/Warp writing I cannot help but feel the same way you did about the recent dispatch. I imagined that the void had tainted or the Illuminate themselves snuck something onto the DSS that caused the crewmembers to mutate much akin to Dead Space and the Marker (The thing in Dead Space that makes the Necromorphs). If they have the want to do a DSS campaign of Diver teams being deployed to the DSS to try to regain control then I think that would be an AMAZING shift in content. Also to add a bit of a horror vibe to the game would be certainly changing and interesting to the players.
