Summary
- Helldivers 2 leak hints at upcoming clan system & powerful stratagems for improved online gameplay.
- Clan members gain access to unique abilities like Carpet Bombs, Medical TacPack, and more for missions.
- Stratagems are essential for clearing enemies & defending allies - like Anti-Personnel Minefield & Gatling Sentry.
A new Helldivers 2 leak reveals a clan system and several stratagems that will allegedly be released in the future. Currently, Helldivers 2 doesn't have a clan system that would allow players to join forces with others and engage in PvE content. Although the game lets up to four players create a squad and save planets together, they can't unite under the same banner due to the lack of the clan feature.
Helldivers 2 is a co-op game with online features, but that doesn't mean it can't enhance the online gaming experience. As in other co-op games, a clan system in Helldivers 2 would help players find communities and form trusted relationships with others. Being in a clan would help players improve their communication skills and complete PvE missions together with friends. According to early leaks, Arrowhead plans to implement such an online feature in the future.
Helldivers 2 is Being Review Bombed Yet Again
Helldivers 2 sees another slew of negative recent reviews, with many players questioning the third-person shooter's continued management.
A recent Helldivers 2 leak from IronS1ght has suggested the game will implement a clan system that allows players to create their own permanent team. According to the leak, clans will be organized into several tiers/ranks. These battalions will likely rank up as their members complete missions and liberate planets together. As clan members, players will reportedly gain access to several stratagems that will enhance their combat prowess.
Helldivers 2 Leak Teases New Stratagems for Clan Members
- Carpet Bombs
- Medical TacPack
- Medical Supplies
- MS-220 Missile Silo
- 1000KG Atomic Bomb
- E/MG HMG Defensive
- S.E.A.F Reinforcements
Clan members will be able to use Carpet Bombs, Medical Supplies, S.E.A.F Reinforcements, Medical TacPack, E/MG HMG Defensive, 1000KG Atomic Bomb, and MS-220 Missile Silo in their missions. These abilities will work similarly to Helldivers 2's stratagems and have an input code, a deployment time, and a cooldown. The leaker claims all the details they provide should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Stratagems serve as abilities that players can use during their missions. They are essential for clearing waves of enemies, destroying structures, and protecting allies. There are a number of powerful stratagems in Helldivers 2, each giving players a unique ability that helps them save planets. For example, the Anti-Personnel Minefield denies a certain zone from enemies, while the Gatling Sentry takes out a large group of enemies in seconds.
Speaking of stratagems, a recent Helldivers 2 leak has revealed the Orbital Napalm Barrage, which deals a certain amount of AoE damage. Players can use this combat ability to burn the ground and take out multiple enemies. As per the leak, the upcoming stratagem will have a cooldown of 210 seconds. It's currently unknown when it will be added to Helldivers 2.
