Arrowhead Game Studios is getting creative with the recent update but the gaming community narrowed down a few areas that require the most attention. Some dedicated players listed a few weapons that need to be adjusted or buffed in the next patch of Helldivers 2 and the developers have a long way to go to perfect the performance of each gun.

Despite the many technical problems and performance issues, that did not stop the developers from designing even more ambitious weapons. Recent leaks indicate that new weapons based on plasma are coming and are seemingly taken from the enemy faction known as the Illuminate.

It wouldn’t be the first time the Ministry of Truth made a deal with the devil to defeat other enemy factions. The scientists managed to weaponize a highly volatile substance known as Dark Fluid which came from the Illuminate and used it during Operation: Enduring Peace to end the Terminid threat once and for all.

The operation was successful but resulted in the destruction of planet Meridia and opened a black hole. Some have theorized that the Illuminate intended the Helldivers to use the Dark Fluid and did all the heavy lifting for their imminent return and finish what they started.

Perhaps the developers should focus on fixing most of the issues regarding the efficiency and firepower of primary weapons before embarking on a more ambitious path. Regardless, the gaming community is excited about this leak and hopes it will live up to the hype.

It wasn’t long ago when the gaming community realized the pulsar cannon was the only weapon type missing from the long list of weapons. Perhaps the developers noticed it and tied the weapon type to the Illuminate faction to bridge the narrative and keep it cohesive.

Helldivers will need every strategic advantage to win the war for freedom. These pulsar weapons will be a massive help against different enemy factions and the Illuminate and even the odds by fighting fire with fire.

These Helldivers 2 leaks can get out of hand but the reception to this information could help the developers evaluate their decisions. Perhaps adding these weapons faster will increase the player count.

Pulsar weapons could give the Helldivers an edge in a fight and significantly improve the war effort. Maybe the developers will continue to reflect on previous enemy factions for more weapon ideas.
