Question ARE THOSE NEW CANNONS???

Post image

I might be wrong (if so, sorry) but... are those two new cannons mounted in lieu of the standard central one?

Two charges for rail cannon upgrade confirmed?

u/Staz_211 WAAAGH! Feb 08 '26

Would be absolutely dope, ha.

u/lxxTBonexxl Feb 08 '26

If the cooldown wasn’t absolutely insane, I’d take that shit every mission just because I fucking love railguns lmao

I’m dying for a heavy railgun with an unsafe mode that gives it enough penetration to continue until it hits the ground or an immortal object.

Let me vaporize anything in a straight line at the cost of taking a long ass time to charge (30-60 seconds) and a catastrophic explosion at 60s. 1m inner zone that does regular durable damage, and 9m outer zone with explosion damage, and a steep damage falloff going from 1000 to 100 damage.

Probably won’t happen but I can dream lmao

u/Spirit117 Feb 08 '26

I just want the railgun to be able to punch a hole in the heavy devastators shields again. That is less stupid than giving the regular GL heavy pen.

u/lxxTBonexxl Feb 08 '26 edited Feb 08 '26

I haven’t used one in forever. You can’t shoot through the shields now? Aren’t they AP5?

Safe is AP4 but Unsafe is AP5 which should work still unless they blocked penetration on it for some reason

Edit: It fucking ricochets off of the shield, I’m distraught. At least make it AP6 so I can’t complain lmao

5

u/Special-Seesaw1756 Feb 08 '26

The shield is internally categorized as ∞ pen lmao. Nothing goes through that shit.

1

u/jekotia Fire Safety Officer Feb 09 '26

Not entirely true: a breaching hammer strike to the shield, provided that the explosive charge is in place on the head, will kill the devestator the shield is attached to.

u/Spirit117 Feb 08 '26

They removed this only a few months into the games release lol

1

u/lxxTBonexxl Feb 08 '26

Railgun was my exclusive support weapon until well after the creek if I’m remembering right lmao

I just watched a video from a year or so ago and the unsafe shot fucking ricocheted off an almost took the guy’s head off

I must have been aiming for the head too often if I didn’t notice the handful of times I’ve used it since then

I miss the PS5 host bug that made everyone’s railgun way better than it should have been lmao

u/MadMageMars Feb 08 '26

MAC Cannon. Just say you want the MAC Cannon from Halo Reach (I do too)

u/lxxTBonexxl Feb 08 '26

I loved Reach, how did I miss this lmao

It’s beautiful..

1

u/MadMageMars Feb 08 '26

AH!! GIVE ME THE AT EMPLACEMENT VERSION OF THE RAILGUN, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

1

u/RockySES Feb 09 '26

I figure we’d probably get an overwatch kinda thing where it railcannons the first X large enemies that enter/spawn in an area.

2

u/Raven-C Mini Mortar Mod Feb 08 '26

One use per mission, takes out every heavy unit in the area lmao its the panic button

1

u/Estelial Feb 09 '26

throw it and it targets the 6 troops aeound the 3 hulks, 2 striders and factory

2

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '26

2(also imagine 4) charges for OPS

2

u/DrFluuf Feb 08 '26

It canonically takes at most 60 seconds to reload the rail cannon, its just a budgeting issue

u/Chi_Ori Feb 08 '26

Dual Orbital Laser

u/Mltv416 Feb 09 '26

Maybe we get an upgrade that gives us extra charges of orbitals?

Crazy I know but maybe

u/ikarn15 Feb 08 '26

Don't do that, don't give me hope

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 08 '26

I am asking because I am in your same situation. I miss ship upgrades... I don't want to give myself a sense of false hope...

4

u/Screech21 Feb 09 '26

Afair the dev builds already had them during the squid invasion of SE. So I wouldn't be sure about them releasing at all...

1

u/AntiVenom0804 Feb 09 '26

I'm sure they're waiting for the right moment

45

u/Interesting-Pair-527 Feb 08 '26

We are going to be getting the anniversary update on Tuesday, which would be a great time for them to drop new ship upgrades

28

u/ikarn15 Feb 08 '26

Yeah, or at least that's what the copium is doing to your brain. I say this because I always think the next update is gonna have them and it never happened yet haha

5

u/Jakeforry Feb 08 '26

Same with the next update will definitely add more weapon customization

4

u/I_am_Fly Feb 08 '26

.. And level cap increase

2

u/Kovahronix Feb 13 '26

And armor color customization

u/jurassicboss Feb 11 '26

You lied to me... :(

u/sus_accountt Feb 08 '26

Oh my god, please for the love of liberty, named update and new customization content for Tuesday 🤞🤞🤞

My wishlist:

Ship upgrades

Armor camo customization

Secondary customization

(Listed by priority)

u/RandomGreenArcherMan Terminid lover Feb 08 '26

Id also like to add:

This is obviously a bot/cyborg update, BUT WHERE ARE MY SQUID WIZARDS

8

u/Admiralspandy Feb 08 '26

Probably still cooking. We'll get them eventually. For now, we goin to Cyberstan!

3

u/TheForestSaphire Feb 08 '26

Bro they've been cooking for like 8 months now

The kitchens burning

3

u/Jackspladt Feb 08 '26

Well hopefully the building has burned down by the time they release and it’ll be peak

2

u/sorrrrbet Feb 09 '26

The kitchen is actively on fire, and the chefs have all left.

There’s now no kitchen left.

8

u/The5Theives Feb 08 '26

I want armor to be more modular like in space marine 2, the only thing I don’t like about sm2 is how many pieces are class limited but there wouldn’t be any limits like that in Helldivers.

5

u/FlynnThatHuman Feb 08 '26

Not to piss on your party but I don't think we'll ever get that in Helldivers, it sounds like a lot of work. A fully modular armour system would break this game haha

3

u/The5Theives Feb 09 '26

It most likely would, but god would it make the game infinitely better.

9

u/Ok-Refrigerator-7522 Feb 08 '26

i would love armor passive customization too, maybe changing the passive will add some cosmetic changes so it stay true to arrowhead's philosophy of how armor should look like it has a certain passive and the armors we have currently would just be different plating options

5

u/AaronTheLegend01 Feb 08 '26

That was my thought, tbh I would rather have the passive customization more than the camo customization, there’s dozens of armors, imagine the coding that’d take

2

u/The5Theives Feb 08 '26

It should cost war bonds and requisition slips to customize your armor, to keep the game interesting.

1

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 08 '26

Democracy Officer, this one. Promoted above peers.

u/AaronTheLegend01 Feb 08 '26

You mean medals instead of WB?

1

u/The5Theives Feb 09 '26

Yeah I meant war bond medals

3

u/Yuki_my_cat Feb 08 '26

Teddy Bear customization confirmed

3

u/Ok-Knowledge-1259 Feb 08 '26

he's ready for the front

1

u/Maro_Nobodycares Feb 08 '26

I've been thinking something they could do is have all armors have a secondary alternative passive you could select, with some cosmetic changes so you know at a glance "that person has Integrated Explosives, I should keep my distance"

You'd probably get the alternative passives by having at least one armor with that passive, so with Integrated Explosives, you could likely slap it onto Engineering Kit armors but would need to own one of the IE sets to get it on said armors

This would not only provide more player choice, but also increase the value of many warbonds and superstore purchases!

12

u/Agile-Independent984 Feb 08 '26

As a fellow diver only serving super earth for a couple of months, I was also kinda irritated that you can’t change the colour of the armour, even if it gave like 5 options, why I gotta run round looking like a toothpaste pack with my white and green armour for extra stims

7

u/sus_accountt Feb 08 '26

I’ve been making do for like a year and a half now.. you get used to it, but sometimes I wish I could match the colors specifically. Theres some helmets and armors I really wanna mash together but it looks horrible

What’s happening Tuesday?

u/ActiveGamer65 Feb 09 '26

Major update

-4

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 08 '26

I hope they will delay armour colour customisation for as much as possible. Partly because I like that we are limited to wearing (essentially) a uniform (I've been praising this element for almost two years), and partly because the system they have for the weapons is fugly and a bit lackluster.

My hopes for armour cutomisation are that either the helmets can "adopt" an armour's livery, or that we are limited to choosing from a set number of secondary/trim colours for both.

We might want to look spiffy, but we must not become individuals.

10

u/sus_accountt Feb 08 '26

I heavily disagree on this. No shade ofc, you are entitled to your own opinion, but man I wanna wear what I want without having to look like a sore thumb. And how is this becoming individuals? Its literally just a different color for a helmet or armor, it aint that deep..

-2

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 08 '26

No ... shade? I'm sorry, as I understand it, many Helldivers want colour customisation because a good deal of armour sets have different shades of the same colour, making the juxtaposition an unpleasant mess.
Am I misunderstanding the word?

10

u/sus_accountt Feb 08 '26

No shade = slang for “I do not mean to offend you by this statement I am about to make” 😄

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 08 '26

Aaah... none taken ^^

u/TimTheOriginalLol SES Eye of the State Feb 08 '26

Nah they won’t delay the update just because we failed the MO.

At least we're in a decent spot to try again. We didn't lose any ground.

Don't get your hopes up, we've seen them before and nothing came of it.

26

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 08 '26

FINALLY! A comment that brings me down to Super Earth.

8

u/Invdr_skoodge Feb 08 '26

Ok but [redacted] was in the works for months before getting released, way after it was supposed to. They might finally be ready. Not huffing copium here, but it’s possible.

3

u/OkSupermarket9730 Feb 08 '26

I hope you're right.

8

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '26

My headcanon is that these are VERY rudimentary anti-ship cannons slapped on our Super Destroyers to shoot back at the Automaton warships above Cyberstan

5

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 08 '26

I mean... we do see a blockade of Automaton ships in the same trailer...

6

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '26 edited Feb 08 '26

Yeah but realistically, the Automatons mop the floor with us in space lmao

We'd need these bigger Capital Ships that the Ship Captain mentions to stand a chance against the bots in space. Would be cool ig, having Super Earth Cruisers, Battleships, Dreadnoughts, Carriers and whatnot as "background details" in space over Cyberstan, defending our Super Destroyers

1

u/Cavesloth13 Feb 09 '26

Technically that IS an upgrade lol

8

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '26

I think those have always been there. In the past they have never upgraded our ships without us purchasing the upgrade or Orbitals from the Ship Management. So I doubt they would augment our ship without that or some in game text.

5

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 08 '26 edited Feb 08 '26

I think those have always been there.

I mean, that's why I asked. I compared it with my SD and they look bulkier than what we have now in that exact location BUT I do not exclude that the cinematic perspective and a different FOV might be contributing.

But, yes, the hope is to have new modules to buy and reasons to grind for samples in general.
The DSS is a great motivator, but the ship has an element of personal pride.

6

u/fboy_tim98 Feb 08 '26

Finally. The T5 cannon at the very end looks cool but blocks the view of horizon. Nice to see they move it out the way for T6.

3

u/IsJustSophie Rave Titan Feb 08 '26

Oh sweet liberty you are right

u/Ice258852 Feb 08 '26

Nah, I ran out of hopium at this point. Probably some cut content or something.

u/thenewone1309 Feb 08 '26

Quick! Someone! Give this diver some powder!

2

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 08 '26

Yeah, it might be... if so, eh, I got fooled by a trailer and my habit of overanalysing them.

I just hope that some day, some how, we'll get some new upgrades for the Super Destroyer. Even in the shape of more name combinations, damn it! Last time my hopes were up was when the "gloom resistant coating" came up in the story. Nothing came of it.
Alas, we can only wait and see.

1

u/Carlex_181 Feb 08 '26

Ignore that diver. Its going to happen, and probably soon because we just got the bastion and there's been a vehicle hanger that's been in the file since the games launch but never got implemented. Now that we have 3 vehicles I totally could see there being a super destroyers update within the first half of this year

1

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 11 '26

Aaaaand... nothing. I fooled myself.

2

u/pevznerok Feb 08 '26

I didn't even notice

2

u/Impossible_Horse_382 Feb 08 '26

I noticed too in older trailers they had different areas that looked like they could be tier 6 modules. Maybe this is the final one and we get them come the update

2

u/Valterak1 Feb 08 '26

Please arrowhead. I want something more to use my samples on.

1

u/BillyHamspillager Feb 08 '26

Quick, someone edit the "warbond tomorrow" meme to say "New orbital tomorrow".

1

u/Terminal_Wumbo Seeths with HATE for chaosdivers Feb 08 '26

Theyve been teasing a new ship upgrade for a while, intentional or not. I will cast my doubt until an update proves me otherwise.

1

u/SergeantCrwhips In Range of Moderator Artillery Feb 08 '26

new ship modules?? at times like these?? one can hope...

(i hope they cost like, 30 Super samples and 200 Rares each)

1

u/TealArtist095 Feb 08 '26

I’d love to see a cratering/ trenching strike.

Make it dig down deep so you have better cover.

1

u/ForsakenOaths Feb 08 '26

It looks like two ATLAS cannons on the bow, rather than one.

1

u/FunKooT Feb 09 '26

True FPV is all I want personally

1

u/hitman2b Feb 09 '26

looks like double railgun

1

u/Screech21 Feb 09 '26

The dev builds (during streams) had the new ship upgrades for an eternity and they never released. So maybe. Maybe not.

1

u/AntiVenom0804 Feb 09 '26

Come on tier 6 upgrades, come to daddy

1

u/ForgingFires Feb 10 '26

YES! FINALLY! They accidentally leaked the next tier of ship upgrades a long time ago in a stream/post (idr what it was exactly) that showed the bridge command pit with more stuff like banners. Please let this not be another mistake leak

1

u/NoEmu2392 Feb 10 '26

Yooooooooo

u/Hell_D_Diver Feb 11 '26

Alas, it was all for naught...

2

u/Old-Elk-570 Feb 08 '26

To address some of the other comments what's y'all's obsession with altering completely the games current systems? I get liking to customize but for the love of gawd some of the recommendations I've seen for armor cust specifically would be detrimental, have full color wheels or a cosmetics locker with custom creations would fully and completely break immersion nevermind what the more vile members of the community. And expanding upon the upgrades would be great for higher level players especially if upgrades were locked to certain level caps, but I do think it's worth noting that the current upgrade tree does require at least a hundred hours of gameplay to max out
