Arrowhead Considers Adding Gatling Guns to Helldivers 2, Promises Balance
-
Arrowhead is considering adding powerful Gatling guns to Helldivers 2, which would have a high rate of fire and recoil as support weapons.
-
Creative director Johan Pilestedt said Gatling guns could be cool with "insane recoil" and "some real cool mechanics" but their inclusion is still unconfirmed.
-
In response to a fan, Pilestedt suggested a teammate could carry ammo for the Gatling gun to accommodate its high fire rate.
-
It's unknown if a Gatling gun would be overpowered in Helldivers 2 on release, but Arrowhead has shown willingness to nerf weapons.
-
A Helldivers 2 Gatling gun would likely have a very high rate of fire that even the best armor couldn't fully protect against.
