Weapons & Stratagems
(*2*)
First up, within the main weapon class, is the VG-70 Variable, a seven-barrelled volley gun with three totally different firing modes: Auto, which has three selectable RPM values; Volley, which fires a single shot from every barrel directly; and Whole, which fires all remaining ammunition in a single go. Researchers famous that utilizing the Whole firing mode with plenty of ammunition might end in bodily hurt to the consumer.
Additionally in want of discipline testing is the brand new G-31 Arc grenade. The light-weight G-31 bounces whereas discharging electrical energy that strikes enemies (and Helldivers) in proximity.

As soon as the wormhole is energetic, wearers can teleport quick distances with no cooldown between jumps. In observe, the wearer is pulled into the singularity, dematerialized, and rematerialized once more in a brand new location.
The pinnacle of R&D famous that the dematerialization course of could be considerably painful, and that customers ought to keep in mind that the wormhole can not preserve integrity for prolonged intervals–every soar will additional destabilize it, and the wearer might expertise demise ought to the singularity absolutely collapse. A small value to pay for ultra-convenient traversal!

After you’re taking deadly harm and the Adreno-Defibrillator detects that the consumer has collapsed, it prompts and revives the consumer to full well being. R&D did point out that the Adreno-Defibrillator solely has sufficient cost for one use to deliver the consumer to most well being, and the consumer will start shedding well being frequently after activating it.
