It looks likeHelldivers 2’s developer just leaked a forthcoming Orbital Napalm Barrage Stratagem during a recent livestream.
Yesterday, to mark the newHelldivers 2 Escalation of Freedom update, PlayStation Access hosted a new livestream of the update. While there isn’t an archive of the broadcast, one eagle-eyed viewer was able to capture the moment the hosts apparently showed off an unreleased Stratagem during the livestream, in the screenshot just below.
Weirdly, different screenshots of the same livestream are reporting different statistics for the new Stratagem. The screenshot just below, for example, has the call-in time as just 7.45 seconds, and a cooldown time of 240 seconds, a whole minute less than the other screenshot. I don’t really know what’s going on here, but I think we’ll be waiting a while for any sort of clarification.
This new Stratagem, whenever it eventually launches, should help players prepare their defenses against encroaching Terminid forces. This is especially true of the ‘high-value asset’ mission type, which requires players to defend eight rockets until they’ve all successfully launched, which inevitably devolves into carnage.
Ironically, this explosive new Stratagem will be launching afterHelldivers 2 just nerfed all its fire-based weaponsin the Escalation of Freedom update yesterday. As you can probably imagine, this hasn’t pleased fans of the flamethrowers and Incendiary Breaker shotgun, especially after players were looking forward to unlocking fiery new weapons as part of theHelldivers 2 Freedom’s Fire Warbond.
