You know what else I’m missing besides the Sickle from the first game? A sapper mission. It would look insanely cool in H2 if two Helldivers were defending against the bugs while the other two searched for bombs and then defused them.

The issue is that while moving—most often when going down steep surfaces—the muzzle flash shifts upward away from the weapon.

Damn, I really miss that weapon from H1 because it filled a great niche. You could fire it full-auto to quickly kill enemies, or tap it in single shots to conserve ammo. I’d really love to see that weapon in the second game.

It was awesome because the projectiles would hit instantly, and it looked super immersive. In my opinion, a single laser shot fits the concept of a laser weapon much better. The Sickle we have in the game feels more like a traditional firearm, and the color of the shots looks more like bullets than lasers.

I really hope this weapon gets added to the second game, just like the trident did. When I play with the Sickle in H1, I have 10x more fun than using it in H2.

I just found some concept art from h1 and I have to say that these models look great, the best one is the centipede
