Consideration, Helldivers! The Ministry of Protection Analysis & Improvement workforce has simply declassified the next data for speedy launch.
You will have been cleared to area check a brand new vary of experimental weapons constructed from acquired alien know-how. R&D scientists have accomplished the Management Group Premium Warbond* for deployment to your Tremendous Destroyer!
Weapons & Stratagems
First up, within the major weapon class, is the VG-70 Variable, a seven-barrelled volley gun with three totally different firing modes: Auto, which has three selectable RPM values; Volley, which fires a single shot from every barrel without delay; and Whole, which fires all remaining ammunition in a single go. Researchers famous that utilizing the Whole firing mode with a number of ammunition could lead to bodily hurt to the consumer.
Additionally in want of area testing is the brand new G-31 Arc grenade. The light-weight G-31 bounces whereas discharging electrical energy that strikes enemies (and Helldivers) in proximity.
The following declassified merchandise is the PLAS-45 Epoch assist weapon which prices plasma right into a targeted sphere which is then fired. This weapon is prepared for battlefield use, however further analysis knowledge means that it might probably explode if overcharged. No secure mode is accessible. However we’re positive you’ll be able to deal with it, Helldiver. That is what area testing is all about!
Subsequent up in offensive know-how is the A/LAS-98 Laser Sentry. For this sentry, the ammunition canisters on customary turrets have been changed with a supersized heatsink, permitting the potential for infinite laser firing. Nonetheless, R&D want to remind customers that the turret can overheat and explode if the laser is repeatedly lively with no cooldown.
Maybe probably the most important and thrilling improvement from the Ministry of Protection is the brand new LIFT-182 Warp Pack stratagem. R&D has harnessed the facility of Darkish Fluid to generate a (considerably) secure wormhole on demand. As soon as the wormhole is lively, wearers can teleport brief distances with no cooldown between jumps. In follow, the wearer is pulled into the singularity, dematerialized, and rematerialized once more in a brand new location.
The top of R&D famous that the dematerialization course of could be considerably painful, and that customers ought to keep in mind that the wormhole can’t keep integrity for prolonged durations–every leap will additional destabilize it, and the wearer could expertise loss of life ought to the singularity absolutely collapse. A small value to pay for ultra-convenient traversal!
Armors & extra
And don’t neglect about correct private protecting tools! Good area testing entails implementing security protocols, which is why we’re outfitting Management Group with two new units of armor designed to offer sufficient battlefield safety. For medium armor, we’ve included the AD-26 Bleeding Edge that may enable for defense and better ease of motion mixed. However for extra harmful experiments, there’s additionally the AD-49 Apollonian heavy armor that’s meant to help you with the perils of evaluating all this new tools.
Every armor set appears professionally fashionable with the coordinating capes, Conductor of Brilliance and Over Artifice Triumphant, and each armor units characteristic a brand new and thrilling passive: Adreno-Defibrillator! After you are taking deadly harm and the Adreno-Defibrillator detects that the consumer has collapsed, it prompts and revives the consumer to full well being. R&D did point out that the Adreno-Defibrillator solely has sufficient cost for one use to deliver the consumer to most well being, and the consumer will start dropping well being frequently after activating it.
Along with all this, R&D is together with new participant playing cards to match the Conductor of Brilliance and Over Artifice Triumphant capes, and we’re supplying you with entry to a brand new emote to help in testing: Defend Eardrums. Masking your ears is the main methodology to forestall noise-induced listening to loss. Security first!
And, lastly, with nice scientific discovery comes a lot onerous work and sacrifice, Helldivers, and that’s why we need to acknowledge your valiant area testing efforts of the Management Group Warbond with a particular title: Exemplary Topic. Put on this to point out your squad that you simply received in on the bottom flooring of this superior know-how!
