Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead is trying into including Gatling weapons, which may very nicely be one of the crucial highly effective weapons within the nice, collective arsenal of democracy’s final defenders.
Gatling weapons traditionally (in video video games and in actual life) have an especially excessive price of fireplace with a variety of recoil as a consequence of their measurement and weight, and so naturally aren’t normally nice candidates for major weapon loadouts. Nonetheless, as a assist weapon, one may solely think about the devastating energy of an Arrowhead-developed Gatling gun, and fortunately, artistic director Johan Pilestedt is already tinkering with concepts for one, though it is nonetheless unconfirmed whether or not they’ll ever truly materialize.
“Gatling weapons as assist weapons are cool, however provided that they precisely characterize the insane recoil,” Pilestedt stated on Twitter, including, “We might, however it’ll require some actual cool mechanics.”

In response to a fan suggesting a possible Gatling gun would boast “insane recoil” but in addition run out of ammo in “15 seconds,” Pilestedt stated that, alternatively, one of many Gatling gun consumer’s teammates may carry across the “drum,” presumably referring to the cumbersome ammo feed system historically hooked up to Gatling weapons. “One thing cool,” he once more insisted.
In fact, there is no telling if a theoretical Gatling gun would come out the gate as among the finest Helldivers 2 weapons, and even when it did, Arrowhead has proven that it’s not one bit afraid to nerf overpowered weapons. Nonetheless, there is no denying that the distinctive calls for and extraordinary fireplace price of a Gatling gun could be make for a novel addition to the sport’s meta.
I doubt that even the finest Helldivers 2 armor may prevent from Gatling gun pleasant fireplace, nonetheless.
