Like a moth to a flame, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt can't help but tease the future of Helldivers 2 whenever he logs on to Twitter.about giving Super Earth citizens"more officially regulated and mandated freedom," Pilestedt replied to one fan's concept for a tripod-equipped minigun with a curious insight into a different, unreleased Helldivers 2 gun.
"You could add a deployable tripod that means to kill recoil, you kill your own ability to move, 3 second deploy time, 3 seconds to pack it up," responded Twitter user FedNet23."If you are in undeployed mode, recoil should be savage unless a 2nd player is helping you keep it stable holding a 2nd rail."
While Pilestedt doesn't clarify what"HMG" stands for, he's likely referring to a heavy machine gun that doesn't currently exist in Helldivers. Well, it doesn't exist. This is not the first time such a weapon has come up—during the very first hours of Helldivers 2's launch in February,support weapon stratagem in the unlocks menu. A few hours later, it apparently disappeared, but not before they snapped a screenshot of its in-game description.
