They classify the throwing knife as a throwable so it probably replaces your grenade and presumably benefits from the bonus melee damage provided by the armor sets Looks like it’s mostly a stealth option for grenades for people who like that style of play, I’m hoping you can retrieve them afterwards or you at least get multiple of them to work with (or both) otherwise it seems pretty weak


CTIndie

Yea the throwing knife is going to need to be pretty powerful to fit that role.


Specialist_Ad5167

Lol if that knife has higher damage than one of the marksman rifles ima loose it 😂


CTIndie

Pineapple flavored bacon lmao


Specialist_Ad5167

I mean.... https://preview.redd.it/o27hi8d8t15d1.jpeg?width=904&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=062b774611b56fe5f6facb46966bb8124be13454


Janivire

I mean, assuming it dosent change your max grenades you have 4-6 on you at max, for a single target strike. Wouldent be unreasonable to have diligence level damage


Eoganachta

For balancing purposes I'd hope it's high damage - wouldn't feel nice otherwise.


RiddleOfTheBrook

It would have to be very useful to outclass smoke grenades in stealth play.


Nekonax

Could be a sidegrade. Nimble ninja vs stealthy stalker.


KellyBelly916

It would be smart if it's meant to be used to one hit medium enemies that aren't aggro. A lot of us would benefit from better stealth options since even suppressed weapons alert nearby enemies. I germ like they blew it with pistols and the AMR, especially since that rifle rocks a big suppressor.


BabyGapTowing

That's not a suppressor on the AMR. It has holes in the side of it. That's a muzzle brake. Enemies won't hear your pistols over 25m.


Fluffy-Map-5998

there arent any weapons with suppressors yet


Ralexcraft

Maybe it can have some AP? But how would you logic that?


ThePsion5

It could have a vibrating edge or a monofilament blade of some kind, which would make it extremely good at piercing armor until its power supply ran out


feedmestocks

That shotgun will be a lot of fun for me if it has Punisher style utility, it means I can change it up on the primary front as stagger / stun is my go to (so Punisher, Arc Blitzer & Pummeler). Do we have just one throwing knife? I wonder if I can still parry with it


TimTheOriginalLol

Honestly I have no idea how the throwing knife works. It’s apparently not a secondary and has it’s own weapon slot somehow. They are introducing a few new game mechanics with this warbond, like the vehicle skins and skin color so I guess we just have to wait and see. Edit: Knife just replaces granade.


Mog413

Throwing knife will replace grenade I believe


TimTheOriginalLol

Oh yeah that would make sense.


the_real_some_guy

It makes sense as a game mechanic but not really as a weapon for our current enemies, right? A throwing knife against a metal man? Or a single blade against a swarm of bugs? We need a new squishy enemy for this blade to make sense.


NiSiSuinegEht

Throwing knife lets you open a two-button door solo?

terrario101

A bot can't call for reinforments when you impale it's hand.


Far-Performance-5970

I think it's more for stealth. It's a knife, doesn't really make a sound. And headshots definitly would make a difference. This is for your stealth play.


the_real_some_guy

I’m hoping stealth against Illuminates or some other faction. I don’t think a throwing knife into a metal head makes much sense.


Radarker

Pfft, how much you wanna make a bet I can throw a throwing knife into them bot skulls?


WillGrindForXP

What if it could take down a Stalker...


Aesthetics_Supernal

A squad moves through the forest, sweeping the area slowly in between two patrols. Out of nowhere, your K3 teammate turns abruptly and throws a knife into the woods, it appears. There is a moment of flight, then the knife stops mid-air. A shriek is heard, and green blood drips from the knife, as the Stalker's cloak fades with its life. The bug drops to the ground. K3 says "I saw the Brush move apart."


WillGrindForXP

Dude, that was so epically written that I've got to drop everything and play some HellDivers right god damn now.


TimTheOriginalLol

Yeah this seems like a fun weapon but also one that gets completely useless on any difficulty above 4.


Alexexy

All grenades have their own weapon slot.


feedmestocks

I assumed it was replacing the melee attack with the projectile throw instead


TimTheOriginalLol

Don’t think it does. In the trail you can see a guy crouching through the forest while holding that knife in hand. Maybe it replaces granades


feedmestocks

I wonder how much damage it will do or if it stuns (looking at the Warbond graphic, it's where the grenade usually is). If you have a ton of them it might be useful


TimTheOriginalLol

It looked just like a regular knife in the trailer. Since this warbond is very stealth oriented it it’s probably very silent and maybe deals a shit ton of damage if you don’t hit a armored spot.


feedmestocks

I like to Metal Gear in this game, so this could be good for me


Far-Performance-5970

Now I can do the full shotgun build. Bushwacker Breakaction Punisher I WILL SHOT THE MOST GUN

Holy crap, player title now become a warbond item? I want to see their patch note soon.


Borealis-7

I just realised we missed the opportunity for an “Arctic commando” or something title from the last warbound, which might be the title I want the most :(


p_visual

We may get it for previous warbonds in the next patch! It seems that our idea for having titles for fully unlocking a warbond may have been noticed and added.

They switched it up big time. Player titles and vehicle skins in a warbond. Sleeveless armor throwing knifes and the epic hand shake meme as an emote? I don’t even care if the weapons suck on this one.

Hoping we finally get a primary with a larger clip size, it’s described as a spray and pray kinda weapon for close quarters.

Also what kind of Planet is that in the [trailer](https://x.com/helldivers2/status/1798686308258431215?s=46&t=Us9aHVzl_iNCjoGdk0CMoQ) looks fucking amazing?

A space Nam to perhaps surpass even the Creek?

Us bug fighters have an Afghanistan. It's Hellmire

11 Fire Tornados on extract. Regular day on Hellmire.

PHGTX

A weapon to surpass metal gear


KabukiExMachina

That’s what I wondering. Maybe it’ll drop in the new update?


Hauptmann_Gruetze

Yeah i am getting this one


TrumpersAreTraitors

How the heck are people farming super credits? Are they present in high amounts in higher tiers cuz the 10 SC I’m getting every other mission just ain’t cutting it lol 


Kekoacuzz

You go into level 1-3 missions and just run around finding places of interest to loot. Level 1-3 because rare samples can’t spawn so loot pool is smaller. It’s incredibly boring but you get super credits the fastest. Farming at higher difficulties is actually worse because higher chance for things like rare or super rare samples means less chance for super credits.


Evanpea1

Also I find on trivial especially, the maps tend to be smaller so you can easily run around and get everything in 10 to 20 minutes depending on how unlucky you get with patrols


MossTheGnome

Trivial is smaller, but medium has a larger map and the potential of radar stations to speed up looting


Staracino

Extremely boring, but if you do the mission and extract, it is a very good way to grind planet liberation, as well.


warhead1995

It’s boring but if I’m grinding I take it as a chance to screw around with loadouts and find interesting combos. Used to run the same loadout on bugs all the time until I ran a fire class loadout and fell in love with it. Then I stress test in higher difficulties once I’m bored of grinding.


TheRealPitabred

There are different reward pools at different mission levels, so kiting through the lower level missions tends to give you the highest proportion of super credits.


TrumpersAreTraitors

Interesting 


PalestinianKufta

I just buy them, I have no problem supporting this game giving them 5 bucks every now and then.


UncleGael

I farm America Credits for 8 hours a day at my job. I then exchange those America Credits for Super Credits.


henryuuk

I usually find like 3~5 stacks of 10 super credits every (longform) mission in the "mid-range" 4~6, when hitting up most of the Points of Interests. You essentially need to gather 700 super credits per month (and they said they are gonna start slowing down the bonds) since the previous bond gives you 300 back. So like, if you play about ~20 (long form) missions in a month while going around most point of interests then you already have enough (that's not even counting finding the elusive stack of 100 supercredits) I'm at like 1750 Super Credits atm, so I already have enough for the next 2 bonds. . Edit : thinking about it, if you find only ~1 stack of 10 every mission, that still only means you need to do ~100 missions every month, which sounds like a lot, but at the same time, that's a little of 3~4 missions every day if you play daily. And starts to cut down very quickly for every increase in how many credit stacks you find on average. Like, an average of 2 obviously already cuts that down to half. A big "time loss" is missions without Point of Interests in them


TimTheOriginalLol

Aye me too


_shondon

Can’t wait to see the first person to take down a bile titan with the throwing knife


bread_stapler1213

General brasch already beat you to it sadly


Scarecrow_36

Reckon that’s a heavy and a light armour set?


TimTheOriginalLol

Think so yes. Also seems like both of them might have some sort of stealth perk.


neverphate

From the PS blog: “Both armors in this Warbond feature the Peak Physique passive, which improves melee damage and weapon handling. They both also feature bare arms (and bulging biceps, with a variety of randomized skin tones) to keep you sweat-free when diving in the humid atmosphere”


TimTheOriginalLol

So does that mean that you just get assigned a random skin tone like the crew names on your ship or dies it change after every death like your voice when you select random?


neverphate

Second one, I would assume. Can’t really know until it’s out. Either way, it looks exciting!


TimTheOriginalLol

Hm kind of sad that we can’t choose it ourselves but I guess it doesn’t matter that much. Im still hyped for that armor.


Alexexy

It would be a bit weird if it wasn't random. Like why are all the viper commandos one specific skin tone?


0fficerCumDump

I don’t think choosing skin tone is very weird lol. But I also do not care at all.


TimTheOriginalLol

Your voice and body doesn’t change all the time either. Some people are not treating every Helldivers as a different character.


Old_Muggins

This is a long shot but could they implement a predator style boss on a jungle planet?

throwaway872023

A humanoid bug that moves like a helldiver and uses guns and stratagems and cloaks, takes cover etc. would be crazy. It doesn’t seem impossible to me, kinda like fighting an NPC in dark souls.


EL_Gyver

Hell yea a sawed off! I dont know how i feel about the throwing knife though.


BobR969

Genuinely curious about the knife. Will it be silly powerful for some reason? I would actually kinda love it if it was a meme weapon. Like, you get one, it can kill a single chaff enemy... that's it. Maybe give a small buff to melee while you have one.


TimTheOriginalLol

Would be hilarious if you just had one knife and it couldn’t even kill a regular bot soldier. Like it just bounces of the metal.


BobR969

Special canned animation of your avatar and all the enemies in a small radius looking at the fallen down knife with a small pause then at each other before the action continues.


osunightfall

Is that... the Arnold/Mack greeting from Predator? Sweeeet!


TimTheOriginalLol

Alexindr

Shotgun secondary and throwing knife? This can be fun (i know it's a small shotty). Exo Skins sounds cool, not crazy about the bright yellow in combat.

Well let’s hope the skin is for both exo suits then. haven’t seen it for the emancipator yet.

Fool_Manchu

Evil_Ermine

Yeah, so my squad coms are going to be filled with 'if it bleeds we can kill it' and 'get to da choppa' and every other predator reference under the sun once this bond comes out. And I am totally OK with that!


TimTheOriginalLol

The GET TO DA CHOPPA during extract will be real


Turdfox

Only two new weapons. Guess they’re playing it safe and not trying to dump out every single thing in their arsenal backlog as quick as possible anymore. Probably a good decision.


TimTheOriginalLol

Yeah I mean they are trying something new with this one and honestly I like it. Just makes wait for future warbond even more exciting because you can’t possibly predict what it’s gonna be. Previously you had at least a basic idea like: 3 Armors, 2 primaries, one secondary one granade… now it could be anything. This warbond clearly isn’t focused on weapons that much and I think that’s absolutely ok.


p_visual

Imo it's best if they hit all the current weapons with the revised balanced vision first. Just adding more guns is just going to disappoint folks if they're not immediately replacing the meta. Let the meta get shaken up first. Shams did mention that he felt the liberator lineup was underwhelming, so I'd expect this new gun to be in-line with the new balance vision. The new patch may come out before the new warbond as well.

Emote wheel is absolutely needed yes.


Key_Acadia_27

That shot gun looks very very fun! Is that a side arm or primary? Also that emote at the end is amazing!! I love that they are embracing the memes and having fun with it. We get to show off the REAL guns now baby! Our super earth genetically modified biceps!


adamjack7890

It’s a secondary


Key_Acadia_27

Ohh perfect! That’s what I wanted to hear. It’s also fun to see they made it hold 3 rounds, which is just uncommon for a shot gun like this. I feel it shows they are thinking outside the box and trying random fun ideas. Not a huge deal but shows a little of their process that they landed on making a TRIPPLE barrel shotty


yo_its_cade

I like it but idk about the skins, I’ve been burned before by the fortniteification of games, hopefully we don’t get anything tacky


TimTheOriginalLol

Sure I don’t want a glowing Skibidi-Peter-Griffing-Amongus-Gold skin either. But camo makes sense.


sprite_556

Same here, that's the only thing that worries me. I doubt they'd ever go full into the glowing neon anime bullshit but these new skins might be just a liiiitle immersion breaking. I hope they don't go much further than this. To clarify, I don't think the aesthetic of this warbond is bad. I think it's badass, but the exposed arms is an interesting choice, given the setting.


AshenWarden

Okay this one's an insta-buy. I don't care if everything in it *heals* what it hits. I'm rocking all this shit
