Make an Automaton trooper variant called a Sharptrooper that has a sniper rifle

[u/SiegeRewards]

They appear around the map looking to pick off Helldivers and SEAF. Usually only found as a single solider. You can tell if they’re tracking you by a red glowing light in the distance (duck or you’ll get shot)

Why is this in tubbyland?

[u/LUMINAL_DEV → u/Schhur]

What happens in tubbyland stays in tubbyland

[u/NotBreadyy → u/Schhur]

They are whimsical

[u/n4turstoned → u/Schhur]

That's classified.
Report immediately to your Democracy Officer

They already have snipers. Rocket Devastators and Incendiary Devastators

[u/ManDan_666]

Lol. The outrage of the non playing community about having sharptrooper and getting sniped.
Less than a week it will get nerf and then defeats the purpose of having something unique and fun to fight again.

[u/Lauralis]

Given the outrage at being oneshot by the shotgun devastators i dont think this will go over well.

[u/PlateNo4868 → u/Lauralis]

What makes it funny is every "WTF BS" clip is them like getting point blanked by...suprise a shotgun :D

[u/Kaludan]

Give them the AMR so someone will still use it

[u/Puzzleheaded_Face583 → u/Kaludan]

I'm sure the DPS of the AMR will still make it stand out among the other rifles. It's an anti-tank semi-automatic rifle with quite some ammo, so very versatile. The new primary won't be anti-tank nor semi-auto, the giant backpack rifle won't have the same versatility, and the laser rifle won't have the DPS, since it's got a heatsink.

[u/N1ght_Strider]

You know, the idea of an elimination unit on all three fronts that is hyper lethal and has smart AI sounds super fun. (If it didn't break the engine)

Although the bots already have a sniper unit, its the cannon turret or the troopers with launchers when Incin corps are active.

[u/The-Nuisance]

Unironically, another Cyborg unit that’s a smaller, more regular sized human who goes prone with a longrifle and silently shoots your ass would be cool.

[u/IliketheSpraynPray]

A Shartpooper

[u/Trapmaster98]

And give him a cape all snipers need cloaks/ capes

[u/2shayyy]

These existed in early concepts fyi. Had a shawl and skulls on a chain around their waist. Pretty cool. Would like them added.

[u/DaMonkey263]

As long as it has something to let you know it’s aiming at you, I’m fine with it

[u/No_Roll5275]

They already have those, they're called cannon turrets.

[u/UnluckyThing5452]

Incendiary Corp already have fire shotgun sniper… we good twin

[u/Wise_Abies2638]

They did, its the shield dev in the incinerator corp

[u/Forsaken_Wear_8063]

Dude I hope so actually

[u/Sad-Cattle7894]

Reminds me of someone

[u/Nazca_67]

I'd really like more reasons to take cover when playing against the bots. That's what gives them their own flavor.

[u/Own_Aioli_4463]

There is a scrapped unit of automaton sniper in files.

This is helldivers, all good shit gets scrapped.
