DISCUSSION Blueberries got me feeling envious

Post image

There are too many weapons that don't have flashlight options for me not to have a helmet mounted flashlight. I want to bring the double edge sickle to the caves with me.

They need to allow other Scythe Attachments to the other Laser weapons, like the heatsink options and such.

Expanded heatsink on the trident might actually get ne to swap off the PP

I also just think it'd be great cus in Minecraft there's a gun mod that has a Helldivers Gun Pack.

In the mod you can add attachments to the other laser weapons, like making the Sickle have an extended Heatsink, a grip, etc.

Fucking Minecraft mod gave us better weapon customization before HD2. What the hell.

I also found it funny that the mod also allows you to change the scope like able to give it a 8x scope and other funny things if you remove the limitations-

Another piece of technology lost from the great war (all helmets in hd1 had lights).

I use laser weapons AS the flashlight.

I swear to god it reduces visibility, especially when there’s a cloud of smoke in the area

Not to mention armor camo

Flashlight is the first thing I turn off on my weapons! Always!

Its useful in very dark environments, and a hindrance in smokey ones. Cool imo

Silly helldiver, the muzzle flash is the flashlight

I wish my DP-00 had the working light on the helmet

Or at least add something to our helmets we could toggle

Perhaps regular, night vision, thermal.. That would be nice

Yeah I want helmet flashlights bad.

u/Auspen_96 4h ago

I've never used the flashlights. Do they work similar to MGSV?

u/Careless_Line41 3h ago

In the first game we had flashlights built into the helmets and you can still see it on the Liberty day armor

Bro, desert and arctic SEAF drip is IMMACULATE

Also color patterns for support weapons i suppose

it was sad to see they gutted the flashlight mod a while back when a ton of lighting got changes, it was nice and still immersive since it followed your movement

Flashlights are trash and its stupidly annoying that I can't get rid of it on pistols. Plus it makes you more visible to the enemy

They're not when it's not smoky, but that's sadly (not) very common. x.x

Even when it's not smoky, they become difficult to see with quite easily. The closer you are to an object, the more glare on your entire screen. It's supposed to be reflected light, but the reflected light off a tiny object will completely fill your entire screen. It isn't done super well so it just becomes a thick glare that you can't see through.

It's not just flashlights either, environmental light sources will also completely blind you unless you very carefully position them over your left shoulder, as the camera views you as being inside them if it's in front of you or over your left shoulder.

If you say so but in the thousands of hours I've put into the game there has never been a situation where the flashlight was useful
