What’s up Helldivers!

I don’t get a lot of time these days to play video games working full time and raising three kids under five, including an infant!

I made a fun loadout last night but it’s hugely depended on having a gunner.

On the bug front I chose the new Ironclad light armor with the Hyena, grenade pistol, and new fire grenade.

My strategems were the Maelstrom, Spear, Supply FRV, and an Exosuit.

My teammates understood the assignment and we were absolutely slaying the bugs with the new tank. One gunner, and another with the laser cannon and melta mines.

When I was in the FRV I was swapping seats and downing titans with the spear or closing bug holes with the grenade pistol. As soon as the tank was done I had another vehicle ready.

Our last mission we cleared the map at 30 seconds to go. I called in the FRV and everyone piled in and we made it across the map to extract.

Sessions like these are what truly make this game special. The organic interactions between teammates using emotes and the comm wheel can be truly hilarious.

Thankful I have a game that respects my time and is usually quite hilarious and cinematic.
