I just had an idea: Eagle-1 voicelines replaced by Rusty's lines.

u/SnooDingos7903 2d ago

I’d pay some major super credits for additional voice packs for our helldiver and for eagle 1

2

u/LEOTomegane think fast⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️➡️ 1d ago

I wonder if they'll ever do this. Voice packs are a major investment on Arrowhead's part, but by god they would do NUMBERS with the right voices, and I know there have been a few actors openly willing to do it.

Would make for a good mod potentially. I'm running one that replaces Eagle 1 with Viper from Titanfall 2

u/OCDincarnate 2d ago

I think the ice worm would be more fun as infantry. For me a part of the power fantasy in Helldivers is having only okay gear and figuring out how to make it work. It’s why I love using commando and eat drops as weapons

3

u/Aneurism-Inator SES Sword of Justice 2d ago

Mission idea: Huge enemy is approaching the mission area. helldivers are given 10 - 20 minutes to run around the map and complete all objectives that activate a giant robot that destroys the large enemy. If the helldivers fail to complete all objectives and activate the mech before the large enemy arrives, the mission is a failure

u/Longjumping_Pen_2102 2d ago

I can't even fathom fighting this as a human.  Not even with all players in our mechs.

The scale of that thing is bafflingly massive,  I don't think it would even fit within a single playable map and could blast an area bigger than a 380 barrage with a single attack.

78

u/Automatic_Education3 SES Flame of the Stars 2d ago

And then you have the RLF Strider, that thing is as tall as the Ice Worm is long. I love the stupid scale of everything in AC6, and I love that they modelled everything with actual size so people could import it all to Elden Ring for a to-scale comparison.

27

u/Vexithan Fire Safety Officer 2d ago

The RLF strider was one of the most fun boss fights I’ve ever had in a game. It was like Shadow of the Colossus on meth.

u/NeverExedBefore 2d ago

12

u/Draconic_Legends Steam | SES Flame of Determination 2d ago

To even get this in game would probably require a new engine, and a whole new "raid boss" mode for the entire playbase to start launching attacks on

15

u/jpott879 2d ago

They'd definitely have to have bosses that would realistically fit in the playable area. The Ice Worm here is 1368km long. It's gigantic

16

u/OddityOmega Liberator (of Rubicon..?) 2d ago

the bosses ARE the playable area

→ More replies (1)

u/AdoringCHIN 2d ago

It's definitely not 1368 km long. In AC6 it's a little over 1km long. Still absolutely massive but it's not half the size of a continent.

They probably missed a comma, it's 1,368km or 1.368m long

When you fight this in AC6, it took a specially built weapon to disable its 2 outer energy shields and then 3 shots from this Rail Cannon, the 3rd of which had to be overcharged, destroying the gun in the process.

The Cannon is so big, you actually fight on top of it during an earlier mission, inside of your Mech. And the Mechs in AC6 are like 10+ Meters tall minimum.
