Consideration, Helldivers! The Ministry of Protection Analysis & Improvement group has simply declassified the next data for quick launch.
You’ve got been cleared to area take a look at a brand new vary of experimental weapons constructed from acquired alien expertise. R&D scientists have accomplished the Management Group Premium Warbond* for deployment to your Tremendous Destroyer!
Weapons & Stratagems
First up, within the main weapon class, is the VG-70 Variable, a seven-barrelled volley gun with three completely different firing modes: Auto, which has three selectable RPM values; Volley, which fires a single shot from every barrel without delay; and Complete, which fires all remaining ammunition in a single go.

As soon as the wormhole is energetic, wearers can teleport quick distances with no cooldown between jumps. In follow, the wearer is pulled into the singularity, dematerialized, and rematerialized once more in a brand new location.
The pinnacle of R&D famous that the dematerialization course of might be considerably painful, and that customers ought to keep in mind that the wormhole can’t preserve integrity for prolonged durations–every bounce will additional destabilize it, and the wearer might expertise demise ought to the singularity totally collapse. A small worth to pay for ultra-convenient traversal!
