If there were a physical suggestion box for Arrowhead Game Studios, it would be full to the brim, not even one more would fit in. In fact, there is a digital one on Discord. The Helldivers 2 community hasn't stopped dreaming about new mechanics, weapons and stratagems, collaborations and much more since the game was released. Even game director Johan Pilestedt recently asked for ideas for new Águilas stratagems. Well, here is one of those wishes.
YouTube user EPG-6 has shared a video showing what he thinks running animations should look like in helldivers 2something similar to what we have seen in other video games like For Honor, Warzone, gears of war, god of war, Assassin's Creed, Mortal Kombat 1 and many more. In fact, we made a list of the best ones a while ago.
Its author comments that he is learning to do animation and shares a video of just over a minute with eight scrum or melee finishers. That is to say, there are no executions with firearms a la John Wick and Tyler Rake… for the moment. Ways to kill automatons range from martial arts techniques, to stabbing, to a move that forces the Automaton to shoot itself with its own weapon.
It has become clear that Arrowhead Game Studios has its own plans for helldivers 2 and they have been very inflexible in requests such as crossovers, for example, but at the same time we have evidence that they listen to the community. I hope you take note because it would be great to have something like this in the game. The video ends with a “Terminids Next?” (Are the next ones finished?). We will be very attentive to his channel to see if he ends up bringing animations with the bugs.
In VidaExtra | I've explored the origins of Helldivers 2 for a few hours and now I understand where this democratic wonder came from
In VidaExtra | I have abandoned my position in Helldivers 2 to travel to the past and fulfill the wish of many players: defend SuperEarth from the Automata
In VidaExtra | I've seen Helldivers 2's Automata front become a “nobody wants to touch our worlds” problem, and it's for good reason.
