As the world ofHelldivers 2continues to expand, so do the enemies that threaten the goal of galactic freedom.The units of the Terminids, Automatons, and the recently returning Illuminate have all proven to be dangerous opponents who have only grown stronger as time passes, and there’s the potential of a new faction joining them and their efforts toward stopping humanity. Should it ever happen, it could lead to Arrowhead Game Studios implementing new and innovative ideas, and even perhaps a different take on something that’s already established. With the latter in mind, the fourth faction could try its hands on a particular structure the Automatons and Illuminate have become known for, one whose disruptive capabilities have made it infamous among players.
Although the Terminids are a relentless and extremely aggressive threat inHelldivers 2, the bug-like enemy cannot compare to the other two factions when it comes to using different means of causing devastation beyond brute force. One of the best ways this is shown is through structures that affect players' stratagems, with the one for the Illuminate rearranging the input codes and the one for Automatons preventing them from being used altogether. It is an interesting concept that allows the creation of obstacles that are still fun while not being too debilitating, and a potential fourth faction can take a new spin on it that could be game-changing and draw the community’s attention.
Why a Potential Fourth Faction Should Play Around With the Automatons and Illuminate’s Stratagem Affecting Structure Concept
The Automatons and the Illuminate have shown that a structure that can affectthe stratagems inHelldivers 2can be highly appreciated with the right execution. If a fourth faction is added and wishes to try its hand at the idea, Arrowhead Game Studios may want to consider taking a different approach. Instead of affecting one’s stratagems, it could disable a player’s primary and support weapons until the structure affecting them is dealt with. Such a different way of tackling the concept would be interesting, to say the least, as there are ways in which it could impactHelldivers 2’s players and gameplay:
While it is a big ask from Arrowhead Game Studios to add a fourth faction along with the new structure concept, it’s not out of the realm of possibility. The developer has shown to be willing to do everything possible to keep its game relevant, and with this being an effective way of helping with that, it may just happen in the future.
How a Primary and Support Weapon Affecting Structure Can Raise Awareness of Another Type of Equipment in Helldivers 2
If a fourth faction with the structure concept gets added, it could bring attention to the usually ignoredmelee weapons ofHelldivers 2. Considering how they’re more ineffective compared to the much stronger alternatives, that could all change if Arrowhead Game Studios enhanced their capabilities to deal with the new threat and its primary and support weapon disruptor, which could also make them viable in other situations. It could even lead to the creation of more melee weapons for the game, allowing for a truly diverse range of options that provide players with more memorable combat scenarios and experiences.
The coming of a fourth faction is definitely one of theexpectations forHelldivers 2, but pairing it with a weapon-affecting structure would be the cherry on top of such a great addition. Although both may be difficult to implement without proper testing, the effort and time needed will be worthwhile as it’s likely to improve players' gameplay experience, thus helping the game remain relevant and successful.
