Helldivers 2 director Pilestedt pops up mid-sabbatical to reveal that dropping onto planets is more terrifying than any of us realised, because of a missing animation


It is not usually Helldivers 2‘s director pops up on Reddit to dispense a little bit of attention-grabbing perception in the meanwhile, since he is nonetheless on sabbatical from developer Arrowhead. Nonetheless, Johan Pilestedt’s simply made a short cameo on Reddit to disclose the explanation which a bunch of the sport’s helmets boast comparable circles on their backs.

I am not saying this can be a signal of us have an excessive amount of time to go off on bizarre tangents now that the Meridian Singlularity’s floor to a halt and due to this fact is not a direct risk to Tremendous Earth, however it may be. Ah nicely, there’s new stuff coming quickly.

Pilestedt was summoned by a participant on the sport’s subreddit asking the crucial query I alluded to above, even offering screenshot proof of those mysterious circle designs on a bunch of mind buckets of their assortment.

The rationale they exist, because it seems, is the small matter of your diver having the ability to breathe. Offering an oxygen provide to your soldier throughout planetfall – after they hop of their pod and descend into battle – was the intention the devs had after they added these circles.

What are these circles on the helmets?

“When the Helldiver emerges from the Hellpod a connecting hose was imagined to disconnect to clarify it, however we did not have time to make the animation for it,” the director defined. So, studying between the traces, since that connecting hose animation did not make it, there’s nothing in-game really connecting your diver’s helmet to their pod’s air provide, which means they have to simply be holding their breath.

Rattling, as if simply hurtling by means of orbit in direction of a hostile world plagued by baddies and hazards that’d love to tear you to shreds wasn’t pant-shittingly scary by itself. These poor fascist Tremendous Earth troopers, you virtually really feel sorry for ’em.

Anyway, of us naturally then requested if the devs have time so as to add this animation in now the sport’s out, main Pilestedt to reply: “Truly there’s a lot the staff is engaged on. I feel now we have much less time than earlier than launch, since we now need to launch nice updates ever so usually to maintain the sport recent!”

I assume everybody’s simply gonna should hold doing lung capability workouts till Arrowhead can spare a minute. Had you ever questioned about these helmet particulars? Tell us beneath!
