One other day, one other unsanctioned early have a look at an unreleased Helldivers 2 stratagem. Nevertheless, whereas there is a not-unrealistic probability that some earlier Helldivers 2 leaks got here from contained in the Arrowhead home, this primary glimpse of an unannounced rocket launcher got here from, properly, inside the larger home that is publishing the sport. Sony did it, is what I am saying, and seemingly with out that means to.
Sony delivered the obvious leak in an official advertising e mail, as noticed earlier this week by keen-eyed Helldivers on Reddit. A piece of the e-mail describes the current in-game marketing campaign that noticed Helldivers selecting to liberate the planet Penta and unlock the shiny new RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher. The accompanying picture exhibits a Helldiver toting a rocket launcher, however there is a slight subject: That is a rocket launcher alright, but it surely’s not the RL-77.
Sony simply leaked a brand new stratagem! from r/Helldivers
Actually, so far as any Helldiver’s conscious, it isn’t a rocket launcher that even exists. None of our present rocket launchers are rectangles, however this factor’s a quad-barreled scenario that appears so much just like the M202 FLASH, an incendiary rocket launcher that you just may bear in mind in Arnold’s fingers in Commando.
Coincidentally, Commando is the obvious namesake for the equally quad-barreled MLS-4X Commando, a rocket launcher stratagem from the primary Helldivers. Curious! Whereas the MLS-4X did not have the incendiary rounds of its real-world inspiration, I am hoping a theoretical successor in Helldivers 2 will. A protracted-range incendiary launcher can be a enjoyable area of interest to fill within the stratagem toolkit.
Did Sony merely get its .png information blended up, or has Arrowhead reached the purpose of enlisting its writer’s PR wing in its psychological warfare of sneak stratagem previews? Arduous to say. However contemplating mechs made the bounce from Helldivers to Helldivers 2, there is a precedent in play for Helldivers hoping for their very own Commando second. If the Illuminate enemy faction ultimately decides to make its personal reappearance, the additional firepower would not harm.
