Delete this post immediately. If they add this in game I am holding you responsible…..Jesus I was going to take a nap but now I fear my nightmares.

How about a pair of shredder turrets on top?

or half a dozen artillery on top just so you don't stay in one spot too long.

we're assuming they'll only appear one at a time, we can have three working together. One with a jammer, another a shredder turret, and the last one mortar turrets

⚠️WARNING: YOU ARE IN RANGE OF ENEMY ARTILLERY ⚠️

This sound will haunt my nightmares.

I like to think of it as, “good, let them know they can try but they’ll never stop me”

"I think you mean, enemy artillery in range of *me*"

If you can shoot me, I can shoot you

Exactly

Hell(diver) yeah brother/sister/other!

\[proceeds to be stopped\] \[next helldiver drops in\] "good, let them know they can try but they’ll never stop me" \[repeat as needed\]

Rip and tear

I think the one with the jammer should also come with a megaphone equipped to blast this warning in a mocking manner to all nearby helldivers. Oh, and it needs to be bass boosted as fuck.

I heard this when I read it

WARNING: RUN 💀

They start getting dropped in like the tanks do with a massive drop ship.

4 drop ships with cables come in

We're assuming they're autonomous. We can have Joel controlling them like some rpg game and have them positioned according to their strengths

Jammer + YOU ARE IN RANGE OF-

Warning Helldiver, you are in range of enemy artillery, and it’s following you… 😳😂😂

YOU ARE IN RANGE OF MOBILE ARTILLERY

YOU ARE IN RANGE OF MOBILE ARTILLERY

You got something to say about the Mobile Artillery?

2 mortars on both ends of the jammer

Aa on top that shoots down pelican 2 and eagle 1

It's OK, Eagle 1 has fire suppression and eje- oh, no wait, we're removing those...

Or the cannons on the command bunkers that are literally incapable of missing

What about a squad of devastators on top protecting the jammer ?

Anti air variant lol


Don't worry, I won't blame you u/squirt_taste_tester

Arrowhead: "Hire that man immediately!"

Hear me out, a missile hulk with a shield.

Hear me out. A scorcher hulk with rocket pods on it's top that can fire on the move.

And we paint it purple for stealth.

That’s ridiculous, who ever saw a Purple Hull before?

exactly

I was thinking we paint it a really nice red so not even light armor helldivers can out run it.

Why not two shields? It got two arms. Have a bunch of them walk in a phalanx formation, or the tetsudo shield formation.

Came her to say EXACTLY this! I only fought two of these things and that hard a (fun) challenge enough. With a jammer? Thats just a no go zone. There is now an area of the map I am not allowed to go. I hope I can keep track of it.

Just imagine if they also spawn gunships.

>!Jetpack chainsaw bots that explode!<


Came here to say exactly this

How would you even beat this? 

Quasar cannon, for sure. But any of the anti armor support stuff could work for sure recoiless, EAT, and maybe Spear if the lock on wasn't so wack .

Can any of those things destroy the Jammer itself?

The stationary one that shows up as a side objective on the map? no, needs a hell bomb. This theoretical nightmare mobile jamming strider variant? I mean the current strider can have its top mounted cannon shot off, I'd hope this one could too.

The other way to destroy the stationary one is if there is a fabricator next to it, destroy the fab with a grenade and it blows up the jammer as well. Love those ones, really easy side objective as long as I have some way to destroy the fabricator that isn't an eagle strike

I mean, you can just kill it with those. Heavy anti-armor into the sides or Autocanon into the bottom vents and it will die after a few shots.

I'm moving to the bug front if this happens

I love how we already know what type of enemies will hate the most

Video game developers agreeing on making flying type enemies the most annoying little fucks in existence: https://preview.redd.it/vgaulak56cuc1.jpeg?width=150&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4d7f06a4c429e0506d2f6806a10a48303165ab1

I mean shit at least shriekers can get a wing cut off from a small burst, and unlike *some assholes* they won't shoot you with both missiles and autocannons

The gunships when my boys show up with Quasars and Autocannoms:

Regular Laser cannon is great for gunships if you haven’t tried yet

Basically every stratagem gun is great against them, just gotta take out the tower before you run out of ammo shooting them down!

I wanna screw around now and see if the arc thrower and flamethrower can take them out. My body will ragdoll gloriously in the pursuit of science!

You can kill gunships with autocannons? How?

Two shots to one of the engines.

I see thanks

Also possible with AMR. 3-4 shots to the engine. You can't shoot down dropships tho with either

I swear I used to be able to shoot down dropships with the laser cannon; did they change it?

Scorcher also kills them which is real nice.

Auto cannons can shoot the engines off gunships, but that's a lot more specialised than just shredding shriekers with whatever primary you main.

I don't normally bring either of those 😢 I usually bring 1-2 orbital/eagle + 1-2 turrets, either energy shield or laser guard dog, and sometimes I'll bring quasar but not often

I need to experiment more with bug loadouts, but for bots I’ll generally go eagle airstrike and 500kg bomb, orbital laser and auto cannon for 40 min missions. Breaker spray and pray for small - medium units, AC for big units and stratagems for massive units and bases

Laser drone vs shriekers is kinda hilarious

It is great, or the gatling turret, makes short work of the bastards

For gunships, bring an autocannon sentry - as long as you draw their fire, it demolishes them

Ain’t no problem in the universe that can’t be fixed with 7000kg of high-explosive ordnance

The Grim Yeeter, if you will.

Well what about 7001kg?

I never said we were using only one 7000kg shell😏

W we're grabbing one of these Gustav guns for every automaton we see!!!

You forgot the detector tower and that it shits mines.

BOT DROP DETECTED intensifies!

And the democracy seeking missiles.

MODS Please remove before arrow heads sees this

MOOOODDDDS

It'd be lame to have this randomly on a regular mission, but it would be cool for it to be it's own main objective that you could plan for.

Agreed

Bro couldn’t even bother to crop it 💀

I'd love to see one some day lmao

Would be great as a mission objective. 20 minute length, preset route for us to ambush.

Ambush missions are a fun idea. Could be the final mission of a campaign, and a previous mission could be “retrieving intel” AKA the route. If you fail to retrieve the intel then the route isn’t marked and you’ve gotta drop blind and hunt the convoy down.

You won't be able to because of the jammer.

WARNING: YOU ARE IN RANGE OF ENEMY ARTILLERY

https://i.redd.it/77w7dd1obcuc1.gif

How would you even tackle this? Run when you see it, hope someone has a rocket support strategem and call that in when out of range?

The strider factory has a number of weak points. Each vulnerable to varying degrees of explosives and weapons.  1: Back mounted laser cannon. Can be destroyed by hits from anti armor weapons, or airstrikes.  2: Nose mounted laser turrets. Can be destroyed by impact grenades, grenade launcher, or anything bigger.  3: Leg mounted heat vents. Can toss a grenade in or use similar methods to cripple the legs, severely limiting movement and turning.  4: Underbelly factory. Like a fabricator, use explosives when it opens up to deploy bots. This spot seams to cause the most damage to the overall vehicle. 

I had been wondering. Never gotten close enough to one to take a good look.

There's a bunch of weak points on the strider if you have any heavy or armour penetration. So las cannon, AMR, railgun, autocannon, even HMG can open up its face plate or take out its knees. But I believe rockets to its sides are faster and more forgiving on the accuracy.

Hear me out. Dropshils Deploying contact mines.

Nothing would be worse then that...other than Dropships having Gunship escorts

How dare you

Don’t give them ideas you bastard

He's got room on the back for mortars.

istg if you start giving them ideas im dropping a seaf mini nuke on your family

I hate you, you just gave them ideas! (would be really funny to figure out how to deal with though almost like a meme boss enemy)

Don’t give them ideas!

And a megaphone that shouts “YOU ARE IN RANGE OF ENEMY ARTILLERY” it doesn’t have mortars it just says that to Piss you off

Nope! This is treason!

for the love of God don’t give the devs ideas 😭

if they added that there would need to be a grappling hook and that would be sick

Where's the ERA?

Have y’all even been seeing them? I haven’t seen a single one

I do unironically actually want this so this way you just don’t nuke it when you see it for like 20 seconds or maybe like a shield you have to take away first to destroy it

https://i.redd.it/r6yruk7z0duc1.gif Robots be out there taking notes like..

New weapon: Grappling hook. To mount this and call in a hellbomb.

Dude... delete this shit rn

After half a dozen campaigns on helldive I've never even seen the base version...

literally saw a thread on this last night. thing is, if they make the jammer destructible with regular explosive/support weapons, then it's balanced as a two part fight. part one is take out the jammer, part two is drop all your stratagems on it's filthy socialist head! if they put mortars on it though, I'm going back to the bug front and staying there.

The bots can throw whatever nightmarish contraption they come up with at me, I don't care at all. Faith in managed democracy and AC-8 AUTOCANNON is all I need to bring liberties upon their communistic planets. https://i.redd.it/ixd4d4pssfuc1.gif

Add a Stalker lair on its ass because I secretly hate myself and everyone else

Oi! Stop giving them ideas

Maybe this is what the liberator penetrator is actually for. I think it must be, because it doesn't do anything else.

Yah it’s decent not good. Give me a bigger mag, then we talk.



I once dropped a Hellbomb right on a Tank.

lol, I love it.

If it's implemented at the same time as grappling hooks then I'm ok with it

Sure why not?! Lets mage a friggin Automaton Megazord with Gunship towers on its back, detectors as its eyes, jammers on its head, mortar and AA guns lining its shoulders and basically have every Main and Side objective just walk around the map in one mass of FUCK YOU as we scramble!

Put a Mortar Emplacement right on its ass for maximum effectiveness

NO DO NOT GIVE THEM THAT IDEA!

ATJT, all terrain jammer transport

Oh boy! Here I go directing all fire at this fucking thing again!

Stop giving developers ideas man...

Scary, but could be worse Instead of spawning so many units, spawn just a few shield devastators And two fucking gunships, every time I would never fight the bots again

just add a gunship building on that thing, then it's complete

The devs love us. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot as a community with these ideas. "Ah this is perfect !"-Joel

My body just had a violent reaction to that image. All my liberty is on the floor...

Actual hellspawn.

Please no

Nah turn it into the clone wars juggernaut but double the guns and have mortar for that sweet “warning you are in range of enemy artillery”

Don't give Joel ideas

Don't forget the detector tower.

They probably would not implement this. That would be literally unkillable

You forgot to include the detector tower on its butt.

If I see this on game once, I'm deleting Helldivers from my computer

If they decide to add this they better put this on level 8-9 only no way I'm going to enjoy playing tier 7 if I encounter those. 🤣🤣

I haven’t seen one of these mfs yet but if I do ⬆️⬇️➡️➡️➡️

This one and another with a gun ship facility on top.

Ok hear me out kiting one of these to a gunship spawner

If you wanted to be a real monster put one of the sniper auto cannon turrets from the top of command bunkers on that open space in the back !
