Following a dry period last month with very little content being added, Arrowhead Game Studios are now bringing the goods with plenty of new Helldivers 2 content. Now that the 01.000.400 update has gone live and the Viper Commandos Warbond has been released, it now looks like a new Stratagem is set to be released too and it came from an unexpected leak.
The leak comes from a PlayStation email that has revealed a brand new Rocket Launcher is set to be added to Helldivers 2. Players on Reddit immediately compared it to the iconic Rocket Launcher from the 1985 movie Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This fits well with the new Viper Commandos Warbond that has a jungle theme, including an emote that is reminiscing of the ‘epic handshake’ by Arnie and Carl Weathers in Predator.
This isn’t the first time that the M202 FLASH Rocket Launcher has appeared in gaming, it is a weapon brought over from Helldivers 1, the Commando Rocket Launcher, and a version has also been featured in games such as the N64 version of James Bond’s The World Is Not Enough.
It is unclear whether Sony intended to release this image as it has the text prompting the Major Order to unlock the Airburst Rocket Launcher or Anti-Tank Mines from April. So, either Sony put the wrong image in the email or reused an old template and accidentally left the old copy in. Regardless of which mistake they made, we now have a look at what the next Stratagem should be, and it could quickly become a fan favorite based on how good it was in the previous game.
With the recent 01.000.400 update going live last week, along with the Viper Commandos Warbond, a lot has changed in Helldivers 2 in a short space of time. To keep up to date with the current meta and what you should be bringing with you as you spread democracy, we highly recommend checking out our Helldivers 2 best weapons guide and best armor guide so you can be in the best position to serve Liber-tea to the Automatons and Terminids.
