The general sentiment is that these vehicles were more than just transportation; they were integral to the game’s identity, providing both utility and a sense of camaraderie among players.

Datamines and leaks from the r/HellDiversLeaks subreddit suggest that new vehicles, including an armored buggy and a six-wheeled vehicle resembling the original M5 APC, might be introduced. 

While official confirmation from Arrowhead Game Studios is still pending, the overwhelming evidence points towards the inclusion of these vehicles in future updates.

While the wait for official announcements continues, the community’s enthusiasm remains high.

The promise of reliving the thrill of speeding across alien landscapes on a motorcycle or strategizing with teammates in an armored carrier is what many players want.

Arrowhead Game Studios has a golden opportunity to tap into this excitement and deliver an experience that honors the legacy of the original Helldivers while introducing new experiences to players.

Despite the enthusiasm, there’s no official confirmation from Arrowhead Game Studios about the return of these vehicles. However, the evidence from leaks and player discussions makes it seem likely.
