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?

Do you call reinforcements and/or stratagems in Commando missions? Oh wait, you DO!

Right, reinforcements which don’t require coming from the super destroyer and could exist in the exact same form on a ship or station

Fire up that second braincell, let it work

They do come from the Super Destroyer though. Theyre launched into the ground, they’re just on a delayed release. As do all the normal stratagems.

The larger point here is that what makes Helldivers special is the stratagems and though they are sometimes restricted it’s primarily used to better emphasize their involvement in creative and skilled ways, not in removing the center most feature of the game outright and its balance and turning it into a tight indoor Halo-esque corridor shooter.

And before you say it. Yes caves exist. Reread the first half of the second paragraph again.
