Closest thing Helldivers canonically had is the Power Saber from Helldivers 1 (They had stuff like that in 2084!). It was like a cavalry saber with a blue energy field pulsing alongside the blade.
Nah, Civil Protection unit! Oddly enough (not really) Combine themed Warbond would be awesome in Helldivers, armors and weapons, like we could get an MP7 like primary SMG and an AR2-ish energy assault rifle
Forget trench warfare with the Constitution or volley fire with the Railgun, we going all the way back to Greek shield wall tactics like it's the Battle of Thermopylae.
kinda hope maybe we can hold attack button to parry and like maybe cost more stamina but reward you if you can parry enemy attack and maybe you can parry Mid size enemy if you wear Heavy Armor
When the game was still early I somehow broke it and was marked by the giant pink (?)'s on my character they do when they spot a problem- I had unlimited calldowns for 3 games straight until they fixed it. During those games my friend and I learned that the Arc Thrower had "The Rhythm" that the lazer could be fired continuously; charge 1,2,fire,1,2,fire. You didn't need anything else at all just that, and this was right before they nerfed it the very first time. The swarm rate on bugs was super high then and even with "the rhythm" you could get swarmed in seconds. So the whole time we were on coms joking about "how come the ELECTRIC weapon doesn't stun? At all. Its lightening. It should at least stun for like 2 seconds." We joked so much that it became a running joke that we tried to insert into anything, for hours, nonstop. Like how many times can you mention it- became its own game lol. They were already watching our games, no doubt they heard us over and over and over "...yea that's cool, but you know what would be better? If the gun that has ELECTRICITY had a 2 second stun!" or "BRB, im gonna make a sandwich and then check to see if the Arc Thrower has a 2 second stun." Fast forward to the next update- and they eliminated "the rhythm", BUT, the Arc Thrower now has a couple seconds stun to it. You're welcome! We were dying laughing after the update and we found out they changed it lol! Good on them.
A spear with a high frequency, reciprocating head. "Every thrust is like a hundred stabs" "Whats more patriotic than impaling an enemy once? Doing so 20 times a second"
A melee button and a shoot button exist. That means that multiple types of melee weapon function are possible. You could have lights and heavies, slashes and lungs, pushes and stabs, blocking and a swing. The possibilities going forward are endless.
Seems like a very useful weapon for Duelist play style, or even some kind of Sword-and-Shield technique, if you can use it with the directional shield. Of course, wonder if works just as good with the Terminids or even some big Cyborgs, since with the Illuminates works pretty good. Melee weapons are coming to HD2, yet we never got our hands on the Saber back in HD1. F*ck.
I think the cars might not be a glitch? Or of it is, not related to the melee weapons themselves. But from what I've seen, the Illuminate ships kinda mess with local gravity. Cars around them tend to start floating.
so....the "melee weapon we want".....is a stun baton..or stun spear?....yep....*goes back to Space Marine 2* SEriously can we get some manly weapons in here! You have all this space age technology and the best thing you can come up with is a Stun Baton!?
I will admit my last fellow Helldiver may pulled up on a few warrior around a local hive district on the near by planet. But a warrior has no place being in a area like that. So we may of been a little to rough. Maybe we shouldn't of beaten him till its green blood coated our batons or helmets... but it disrespect me
If the next warbond has a sword I will be 1 step closer to dying happy. Next thing I require besides a sword is a minigun support weapon stratagem. And give it a big ammo backpack that comes with it, Then I will be at peace :')

You're asking to get lit up from the back by that guy who's deliberately killing teammates when he gets the chance.
Unrelated but I’m really glad they stuck with the original design in the data mine a few months ago, they looked really cool.

The best part is is that the stun baton is actually insane for crowd control
Yep, it can stun and only have a very little time between swings, which means enemies can be stun locked easily and they can't even hit back.
@@K_Balu fr, you can stunlock the overseers to death, it's busted

The spear can be used while diving. I can finally live out my HD2/Final Fantasy crossover dreams and go full Dragoon as a Helldiver.

some advice for the spear:
if you cant hit the zombies in the head go for the legs to turn them into crawler and the hit them in the head
A spear with a high frequency, reciprocating head.
"Every thrust is like a hundred stabs"
"Whats more patriotic than impaling an enemy once? Doing so 20 times a second"
CLOWN STOLE A BATON ahh weapon
U can also use the shield with every other one-hand weapon of the game btw
The extreme knockback on melee looks so jank, i love it!!
I was hoping there'd be a shovel
"Stop resisting! Stop resisting! Sto- oh he's dead."

GIVE US A GOD DAMN SWORD ALREADY
The baton is basically a sword, what with the wristguard and such. It even cuts like one, just with electricity instead of a blade.
We had a sword in Helldivers 1, power sword or something like that, it was a cavalry saber that had blue energy pulsating alongside the blade.
now we just wait for a shovel
Now we need a proper officers sabre even more.
The baton can be used with a ballistic shield, giving that riot cop vibe. Unfortunately, it does not block melee attacks..
Beatstick and rifle, like the founders intended
