Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about some offensive weapon ideas for the DSS in Helldivers and I’d love your thoughts on it. Right now, we have some solid actions like the Eagle storm, Orbital blockade, and Heavy ordinance. However, I think we could really benefit from introducing something new. Many players don’t use mortars at the higher difficulty levels, which means there could be a lot of unused ordinance just sitting around. How about we repurpose that into a MIRV-type weapon, similar to the Orbital Airburst used by the Destroyers? It could cover a wider area, aiming for something like the 380 or potentially even larger. I know targeting might be an issue, and it would probably work as more of a drop-and-run strategy. Alternatively, if that doesn’t fit with the DSS, we could also consider utilizing the heavy bombers already in the game for carpet bombing or as Hellbomb delivery systems. Just some thoughts to spark discussion!

That’s an interesting idea! I’ve noticed a lot of players seem to drop mortars as they progress through the game. I think your suggestion about a MIRV type offensive could bring some fresh tactics to play. I mean, a wider area of effect would definitely keep enemies on their toes!
I’ve been hearing whispers about stuff like this too! I’d recommend checking out some YouTube channels for leaks, since I can’t share too much here. But yeah, any new offensive options could really change the strategies teams use, especially with bombers in play.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely check those out. New strategies are always exciting!
