The players in this title are delighted to find a reference to one of this well-known actor’s most popular films. Although the film itself sometimes lacks realism, the action is well-crafted, and the use of powerful weapons stands out.
This reference gained popularity on X, prompting users to leave comments on how to obtain this rocket launcher. This weapon is similar to the movie’s weapon in almost every way.
Many users who responded to this post suggested that the rocket launcher was likely nerfed, a common occurrence in this game. Another group of users asked if this particular weapon was new or had been in the game before, and not many players had noticed it.
With this title, the community always finds new ways to entertain themselves. This is not the first movie reference that forms part of the game. Helldivers 2 fans are actively waiting for the studio to finally release the new Warbond, which currently has no confirmed release date.
The game’s team has already stated that they will only release these contents when they are ready and meet specific quality standards, ensuring player satisfaction. But they also want a major game change in terms of the enemies and the overall story.
