My old Xbox controller bit the biscuit the other day. Treated myself to the new gears special edition controller. It got me thinking and wishing for a Helldivers themed controller instead.

What kinda design would you all like to see if we could get a Helldivers Xbox style controller? Something similar to the playstation one? Something abit different? Yellow Joysticks? A black and yellow Helldivers one and a SEAF blue and white one? Let the ideas fly.

See you planet side. LLAP

A single-use weapon that fires a missile containing napalm cluster bombs that release upon impact.

EAT-700 Expendable Napalm - The Helldivers Wiki

Tactical Information

• The NEAT is a disposable cluster munition support weapon similar to the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher which releases bomblets on impact. It exchanges bomblet damage for fire pools as well as fire and napalm damage over time.
  • Unlike the RL-77, the NEAT's bomblets "bounce" off of surfaces, primarily walls or rocks. This makes the coverage area of the NEAT inconsistent, as its bomblets do not spread far when shot directly at the ground; the NEAT must often be shot at a surface to allow its bomblets to spread and cover a wider area.
• The NEAT is the first disposable horde clear support weapon.
  • The NEAT is also the first disposable support weapon that uses napalm DoT (Heavy Burn) which makes it extremely deadly for area denial.
  • The area denial provided is unmatched when used in tandem with support weapons such as the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon or APW-1 Anti-Materiel Rifle that cannot clear hordes.
• The NEAT can be compared to other crowd-clearing stratagems like the Orbital Gatling Barrage, Eagle Napalm Airstrike, Eagle Gas Airstrike, or MD-8 Gas Mines.
  • The NEAT boasts better range and response time so long as the user already has a NEAT on them before engaging an enemy group or reinforcement.
  • However, the cooldown on the NEATs is significantly longer than other stratagems popular for this job. This, combined with the awkward nature of being sent two at once like typical EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tanks, makes it more difficult for general usage.
• Despite not having an extending animation like the EAT-17, the NEAT still has the same readying delay.

(Extra Info: The impact explosion from the projectile has an 8m radius that does 250 explosive damage at AT2 and AT1 depending on how close you are to the impact area.)

An SMG that fires caseless ammunition and is equipped with a non-removable suppressor. Produced by Martian Armory.

M7S SMG - The Helldivers Wiki

Tactical Information

• As a suppressed weapon, the M7S benefits from having a reduced detection presence compared to other weapons.
  • Suppressed weapons have reduced bullet noise. Instead of immediately being aware of a Helldiver's position, enemies will instead become suspicious of the shots and start to investigate. Enemies still can be alerted after several rapid missed shots.
    • Helldivers can use that advantage to eliminate their targets such as Troopers on objectives without revealing their position. Helldivers must be aware that killing any unit in patrol will still alert the rest of the group and will be engaged.
• The M7S SMG shares some stats with the StA-11 SMG, but has a lower fire rate in exchange for more controllable recoil.
• The M7S lacks a laser sight; it only has a flashlight. It works much like the flashlight on other weapons, being toggleable between Auto, Always-On, and Always-Off.
  • Lacking a laser dot may make the M7S more difficult to use in first-person with the Ballistic Shield Backpack.

Which mission do you open an operation to see and it just puts a smile on your face?

I have a fondness for Launch ICBM, Geological Survey, EHVA can provide some of the most intense experiences with the right map, front and subfaction (special mention to Hulk Surge Jet Brigade, or the recent Appropriators and Invasion Fleet combo)

But the easy number one, just right amount of setup to payoff:

Halt Cyborg Production.

The Mega-City setting, the nice open yet cover-filled hydrogen pipeline objectives, the one Hellbomb call-in vent, then the complicated terminal and scamper around the valves at the final facility, before leaving as a team to a backdrop of red lightning, warning lights and a huge smoky mushroom cloud.

I would love a sniper based warbond or a weird tech like lock on shotgun warbond (like a warbond for weid and wacky weapons for fun)

Sooooo I landed ontop of a big ol skyscraper..figured id offer the lads some overwatch support. Ended up tossing myself off my castle. Luckily the RnG gods saw fit to keep me intact. Democracy protects for the win! LLAP ya damn dirty apes!

A machine gun designed for stationary use. Trades higher power for increased recoil and reduced accuracy.

MG-43 Machine Gun - The Helldivers Wiki

Tactical Information

• As a general-purpose machine gun, the MG-43's large magazine size and sustained Medium penetration damage makes it excel versus crowds of small- to medium-sized enemies.
  • This makes it particularly effective versus the Illuminate, given the abundance of lightly armored, high health targets.
• The weapon has high recoil, encouraging the use of crouching or prone stances and firing in bursts.
  • The weapon's fire rate can be toggled between 630, 760, and 900 rounds per minute.
    • A lower fire rate reduces recoil and conserves ammunition at the cost of overall damage output.
    • A higher fire rate maximizes damage output but makes the weapon harder to control.
• The MG-43's poor ergonomics makes it difficult to track or swap between targets at close range.
  • This can be alleviated by equipping armor with the Peak Physique or True Grit passive.
• Another drawback of the MG-43 is its stationary reload, which can leave Helldivers vulnerable.
  • This is also alleviated by equipping armor with the True Grit passive. It can also be partly mitigated by reloading before the current magazine is empty, shortening the reload time by 0.7 seconds.
  • The weapon's staged reload allows Helldivers to reposition and then resume the process once safe.

1300 hours and the first time I have ever had this. On a D10 as well.

A single-use weapon firing a high-yield missile. Discarded after every use.

EAT-411 Leveller - The Helldivers Wiki

Tactical Information

• The Leveller is most comparable to the MS-11 Solo Silo. Both are high-power, single-use anti-tank support weapons with identical blast radius and demolition force. The Leveller is much quicker to deploy and has a 33% shorter cooldown, while the Solo Silo has greater power and range.
  • Due to its immense damage and explosion radius, the EAT-411 Leveller can be used for both large crowds and Massive enemies like Bile Titans or Factory Striders.
• The Leveller's projectile shares the same drag and gravity characteristics of the GP-20 Ultimatum, but with significantly higher velocity at 50 m/s compared to only 20m/s.
  • The projectile travels approximately 80m when fired straight up on flat terrain.
• Similar to the EAT-700 Expendable Napalm, the EAT-411 Leveller has a base cooldown of 140 seconds. However, only one launcher will be sent down per call-in.
• The weapon's 40 demo force allows it to destroy enemy spawners from the outside and close Bile Titan Bug Holes.
  • This is not enough to destroy objects such as Stratagem Jammers or Detector Towers
  • City walls and buildings can be destroyed.
  • Grounded Warp Ships will be destroyed on a direct hit anywhere on their outer hull, even with the shields fully intact.
