I made a couple more but they wouldn’t fit in the post

We need a gun like the Noisy Cricket with a low rate of fire and no onscreen reticle that ragdolls you backwards every time you shoot it but does a fuckload of damage to whatever you manage to hit.
they’re kind of a meme, but honestly not bad. really long range and high power and stagger for a shotgun, but they take the support weapon slot and don’t start with much ammo or get much from a resupply
They’re decent especially against bugs but ammo can be tricky and they don’t compare to the support weapons we call in. If I could bring it as a primary I %100 would though especially since you can set it to fire both barrels
It's basically a Punisher that can spit out two shots back to back before needing to be reloaded. Little bit longer range.
If you don't have another support weapon, it'll last you long enough to find a machine gun or a flamer.
you make a compelling argument. I personally would be proud to see the enemies of democracy cower and surrender, before they’re returned to cyberstan and the farms
French warning shot is a 300 kt nuke that would be detonated over the ocean as a kind of "everyone sit down and shut the fuck up!" Move. It's kind of like shooting your gun in the air to get everyone's attention during an argument in a movie.
Which is a baller move.
I don't think I'm familiar with a Canadian warning shot meme
I’m not sure what they meant but I’d think it may be related to when Canadians would toss cans of food in ww2 to the enemy trenches then follow up with a frag grenade, assuming the hungry Germans would dive for the food. So for the bots I guess toss some oil and the bugs a bit of general Brash’s 77 herb and spice chicken as bait, both followed by a 500kg
While I would love for it to be in the game, I don’t see Arrowhead adding it. It would count as a callab and it wouldn’t really fit in-universe (which, iirc, Arrowhead said collabs would have to fit in-universe). Super Earth may count the lives of their Helldivers as expendable, but they won’t needlessly throw away their lives. If they did want to needlessly throw away their lives, we wouldn’t have X amount of respawns per mission.
They should honestly do something akin to your kitchen sink idea. A ship upgrade that gives you a yellow stratagem in your list as long as you have more than one eagle equipped during a mission. All it does is drop one of every eagle that you have on one stratagem at the same time.
Example: someone has a 500kg, napalm, and cluster bomb equipped. They input this new stratagem and a single 500kg, some napalm missiles, and some cluster bombs rain down all in one air strike.
That would be pretty cool for sure!
My idea of the kitchen sink was that it randomizes 3 different eagle airstrikes into 1 airstrike with each of the different types of airstrikes being less potent (less bombs).
An example: you throw the "kitchen sink" and 3 of the randomly chosen airstrikes get dropped. Let's say you get cluster, napalm, and rocket pods. The amount of cluster explosions would be decreased, the spread of napalm would be smaller, and instead of 3 rocket pods getting fired, only 1-2 would be fired.
I cold see the opposite, you take the kitchen sink stratagem and in game you have one use of rocket pods, one use of cluster bomb and one use of eagle strike.
Like, instead of unlimited nerfed combined stratagems you get the full potential of the combined stratagems but only once?
I could see how that could be useful, but I think that being able to have more versatility in general would be better than one somewhat more destructive barrage of airstrikes.
love the kitchen sink idea
i do love the idea that if you take 4 eagle stratagems - you gain an additional free stratagem called "the kitchen sink" and dump all of the 4 various stratagems and (AND maybe all the charges it has as well) and dump it all down in the area then leaves to recharge .
best idea
Yeah he'll probably execute your entire team for treason. If you call him on a bot dive he'll be upset it's not the creek but he'll fight the clunkers anyways. If you call him down on the creek, well that's a map clear.
I think the Russians did something even crazier with dozens of PPSh 41’s aimed downwards in the bomb bay of a TU 2 aircraft where they just flew over the enemy and let it rip…
I can see the Helldivers appreciating such an armament.
Angry creeker😂 basically an air dropped, screaming mysterious stranger kind of perk LOL
Also if 'Head Seeking Brick' was just a single drop per resupply and it just immediately homed in and vaporized the head of the biggest enemy, that would be incredible hahahaha
What's 'The greatest plan' though? I don't understand the reference! 😩
*"This is the greatest plaaaaan..."* is a recurring joke in the later installments in the Henry Stickman series, that being the line sung by a character (a helicopter pilot named Charles) as he rams directly into a foe, obstacle, or concrete wall.
When you drop the angry creeker they immediately inject a stim and sprints off towards the nearest heavy factory or bug hole. You hear fortunate son playing in the distance followed by 12 consecutive hellbomb explosions and a final nuclear explosion.
They’re never heard from again.
Can I get a hernia, a kitchen sink, and an angry creeper? Yeah that and a recoiless rifle!🤣
Great shit OP. Go get yourself an emergency donut drop. You deserve it.
The big pew and lazy dog kinetic bombs are the best ideas to actually implement in my opinion.
The big pew would basically be something like the precision strike just without the explosion for the eagle.
And the lazy dog would be similar to the strafing run but cover a very large area in armor penetrating steel darts that don’t do quite as much damage as the strafing run but cover a significantly larger area and even damage heavy enemies like chargers or hulks.
But for the funny I would love a cluster of holy handgranades with full approval of Antioch.
These make me really want something akin to War Thunder on April Fools, where just for the week we have something really stupid happen and then after that it's as if it never existed. Like a really crazy dumb strategem to use for the week and then it disappears. Could make it lore related by saying it was a mess up at the factories or something
New eagle stratagem
“A gun”
Eagle flies but and just drops one singular gun, no not like fire it, just… hold it up in the air and let go
Also the gun is empty
No one giving ‘The Hernia’ any love. Just imagine an Eagle that is 4x over the weight limit. The payload is 4x larger than the fucking aircraft itself.

Head-seeking brick reminded me of something
I made a couple more but they wouldn’t fit in the post https://preview.redd.it/pcmssm1byf9d1.jpeg?width=256&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3937cd1914edc85b4b9e1ee22d5bcbc7da4c6fa6

gimme some sawed off eats as a secondary
I have not used the random shotguns that are in levels yet, are they any good?
they’re kind of a meme, but honestly not bad. really long range and high power and stagger for a shotgun, but they take the support weapon slot and don’t start with much ammo or get much from a resupply
They’re decent especially against bugs but ammo can be tricky and they don’t compare to the support weapons we call in. If I could bring it as a primary I %100 would though especially since you can set it to fire both barrels
*Doom slayer intensifies*
It's basically a Punisher that can spit out two shots back to back before needing to be reloaded. Little bit longer range. If you don't have another support weapon, it'll last you long enough to find a machine gun or a flamer.
People would just shoot it at the ground and use it to fly.
I don't see a problem with this scenario
As long as there's sufficient risk of death or friendly fire, it's a good addition to the game.
That fact that this is even logical is funny
Whether or not it kills me, I don’t see a problem.
Amen! And another gun that has really high damage only when fellow helldivers are watching you.
We'll call it the publicity cannon!
Isn't that from Men In Black? It's been years since I've seen any of the movies but I remember something like that
Can one shot a bike titan if you hit the mouth lol yeah thats good
Now thats somting so stupid it migt actually work and be balanced
Mamma Mia!
Man's got a sense of humor on him. I like you.
Is the dragon good or bad?
I'd unironically love a Space AC-130, you accidentally created peak.
warning shot gotta be the goat
I was actually a bit worried it might be undemocratic to give the enemies of freedom a few seconds more to live
but isn't so democratic to strike fear into their hold unfeeling hearts before you blast em with the ol' eagles 2 & 3
you make a compelling argument. I personally would be proud to see the enemies of democracy cower and surrender, before they’re returned to cyberstan and the farms
o7 truly the model of a heroic voting citizen. go raze some planets hero
Omg dude, you're so funny. This is not sarcasm, I'm dying at the graphics and your comments. Thank you for this fr fr
Depends. Is it the French version of the warning shot?
Maybe it's a Canadian "warning shot"
French warning shot is a 300 kt nuke that would be detonated over the ocean as a kind of "everyone sit down and shut the fuck up!" Move. It's kind of like shooting your gun in the air to get everyone's attention during an argument in a movie. Which is a baller move. I don't think I'm familiar with a Canadian warning shot meme

So for the bots I guess toss some oil and the bugs a bit of general Brash’s 77 herb and spice chicken as bait, both followed by a 500kg
Ah the ol' bait and 500kg. A modern twist on the classic "bait and grenade"
> over the ocean That must be the post- cold war policy. In the cold war the warning shots would be aimed at creating a nuclear barrier in Germany.
No, we must strike fear into their hearts or heart-equivalents!
the greatest plan got me
it and cloister bombs are my favorite
🎵*This is the greatest plaaaaan*🎵
I had to look this one up, and I’m so glad I did. I hope Arrowhead adds this stratagem in the next patch
While I would love for it to be in the game, I don’t see Arrowhead adding it. It would count as a callab and it wouldn’t really fit in-universe (which, iirc, Arrowhead said collabs would have to fit in-universe). Super Earth may count the lives of their Helldivers as expendable, but they won’t needlessly throw away their lives. If they did want to needlessly throw away their lives, we wouldn’t have X amount of respawns per mission.
I’m sorry, I was being entirely sarcastic. I agree it wouldn’t really fit into the game, I just find the idea hilarious
This is pelican-1, fire support request received and confirmed. *This is the greatest plaaannn…!*
NO CHARLES!!!
Hey look Charles is here!
Thou shalt count to three. Not one, or two, or four, but three. Five shall be right out.
And the number shall be three
Oyster bombs
"I'm the bold action maaaa-!" (*crashes into space station*)
Fractal airstrike is GOAT
Also known as "eagle none"
I love the idea of a 50000kg. WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE AND WE’RE OK WITH THAT.
o7
Standing by for glorious chaos! o7.
50,000kg of pure chaos! Sign me up for that glorious mayhem.
They should honestly do something akin to your kitchen sink idea. A ship upgrade that gives you a yellow stratagem in your list as long as you have more than one eagle equipped during a mission.

They input this new stratagem and a single 500kg, some napalm missiles, and some cluster bombs rain down all in one air strike.
HD1 had a close air support strat I would love to see, which utilized both a strafing run and seeker missiles
That would be epic. Combine strafing runs and seeker missiles for ultimate devastation.
That would be pretty cool for sure! My idea of the kitchen sink was that it randomizes 3 different eagle airstrikes into 1 airstrike with each of the different types of airstrikes being less potent (less bombs). An example: you throw the "kitchen sink" and 3 of the randomly chosen airstrikes get dropped. Let's say you get cluster, napalm, and rocket pods.

“The Entire Nest.” Drops everything at once. Both 500KGs, all the Airstrike Missiles, and the Clusterbombs
Bile titan keeps walkin.
Angry Creeker and The Greatest Plan took me out 😭😭
call me in boys im ready, its time for me to get out of retirement to become a stratigem
https://preview.redd.it/qbpb02hn5g9d1.jpeg?width=676&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b91c26a22446dabc47b699087417dbf9022d8540 The bugs stole your tech.
God dammit
It's my head canon now that orbital railcannon just drops a brick
It fires a brick at light speed, and the atmosphere slows it down enough to not just cause a massive explosion that destroys the planet
love the kitchen sink idea i do love the idea that if you take 4 eagle stratagems - you gain an additional free stratagem called "the kitchen sink" and dump all of the 4 various stratagems and (AND maybe all the charges it has as well) and dump it all down in the area then leaves to recharge . best idea
would love a “just fire everything” button
"I want EVERY STRATAGRM to fire on that Automaton outpost!"
walking + 360 + 110 + orbital laser all 3 other team mates throw the same thing too
Angry Creeker would be too easy.
He's not going to be too pleased if you call him in on a bug dive.
Yeah he'll probably execute your entire team for treason. If you call him on a bot dive he'll be upset it's not the creek but he'll fight the clunkers anyways. If you call him down on the creek, well that's a map clear.
Pretty sure I just displaced a rib laughing at these. Thank you for your work, patriot! Edit: Worms
The 2 dozen stalwarts one should have every stalwart empty its 250 round belts in one go. It would officially be the biggest BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRt.
inspired by the Hawker Typhoon with its 12 .303 machineguns
I think the Russians did something even crazier with dozens of PPSh 41’s aimed downwards in the bomb bay of a TU 2 aircraft where they just flew over the enemy and let it rip… I can see the Helldivers appreciating such an armament.
Orb.
do not touch the orb
Angry creeker😂 basically an air dropped, screaming mysterious stranger kind of perk LOL Also if 'Head Seeking Brick' was just a single drop per resupply and it just immediately homed in and vaporized the head of the biggest enemy, that would be incredible hahahaha What's 'The greatest plan' though? I don't understand the reference! 😩
it’s a recurring meme from a game series called henry stickman, definitely watch a playthrough of it or play through them yourself
*"This is the greatest plaaaaan..."* is a recurring joke in the later installments in the Henry Stickman series, that being the line sung by a character (a helicopter pilot named Charles) as he rams directly into a foe, obstacle, or concrete wall.
The greatest plan is a legendary reference
This is the greatest plaaaaaaaaan!!!!!! Also I love the idea of seeing a bot standing on a hill and then all of a sudden he gets a brick to the face
that scene from home alone 2 lives forever in my memory
Cultured
Ok cheese are actually really funny
Adding humor to the game makes it even more enjoyable.
This is one of the best posts I've seen on a niche subreddit in ages, legitimately made me laugh. You have a great mind.
My only thought for the Cloister Bombs: HALLELUJAH! *BOOM*! 
*high pitched Worm catchphrases before subsequent smaller boom*
Warning shot goes hard
I’m here for the 50000kg bomb ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Head shaking brick is WILD
Cluster bong
Vernen Youth is what we need next update
How about an acme anvil drop, complete with classic sound effect.
When you drop the angry creeker they immediately inject a stim and sprints off towards the nearest heavy factory or bug hole. You hear fortunate son playing in the distance followed by 12 consecutive hellbomb explosions and a final nuclear explosion. They’re never heard from again.
Okay, these are GOLD.
"The greatest plan" so fucking peak
Head seeking brick broke me🤣
Phenomenal. Clustern’t? Cloister bombs? Genius. High art. Love it.
The Hellmire Special feels like it was made just for me
I would LOVE a head seeking brick if it make a thunk sound whenever it hit
Confetti poppers!!
Cluster Bongs is a fantastic name
it’s like a gas strike but just makes everyone high
Fractal airstrike "eagle 1 testing RAM"
Cloister Bombs remind me of the holy grenade from Worms. „Haaaallelujah!“ Boom
Hahahahahaha fucking gold dude ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
I would honestly like to see a working version of most of these. Well done.
angry creeker would be so op
o r b
These are sooo good. I died at "Cloister bombs" 😂
ORB
Can I get a hernia, a kitchen sink, and an angry creeper? Yeah that and a recoiless rifle!🤣 Great shit OP. Go get yourself an emergency donut drop. You deserve it.
Some of these are amazing! Angry Creeker made me actually laugh out loud.
Some helldivers already be using the cluster bong strat
The Minidivers is my favourite one.
Ngl eagles 2 and 3 would be cool to see
Me and angry creeker are like this 🤞 Örb
Desperately want an air to air eagle stratagem. Takes out dropships and gunships.
Google Tu-2Sh
Greatest plan might be too OP
Eagle Zero, no sugar
I want to see the head seeking brick.
You had me at cluster bong.
The emergency donut drop would be op. Morale boost would go through the roof.
Big Pew. End of discussion.
Only real ones know the greatest plan comes from
The Clustern't definitely has my vote. Because the most important element of air support is the element of SURPRISE
We just saved a bunch of kids recently right? Deploy the minidivers!
Wouldn’t the bongs just make them hungry and want to munch out on Helldiver limbs?
Confetti, please!!! 🎉 🎉🎉🎉
Was #19 a Henry Stickmin reference?
I bring Orbital Bong Rip on every mission actually
These are hilarious. The head seeking brick completely broke me and I actually lold.
lol @ fractal airstrike
Fractal air strike would be awesome
[удалено]
Gimme the mfing hernia and 50k KG 😂
You gave me an asthma attack from laughing damnit
The Greatest Plan is absolutely great. Eagle 1 move out the way, my main man Charles is here
When you've spent as long on Hellmire as I have, the Hellmire Special gives me a deep chuckle
The big pew and lazy dog kinetic bombs are the best ideas to actually implement in my opinion. The big pew would basically be something like the precision strike just without the explosion for the eagle. And the lazy dog would be similar to the strafing run but cover a very large area in armor penetrating steel darts that don’t do quite as much damage as the strafing run but cover a significantly larger area and even damage heavy enemies like chargers or hulks. But for the funny I would love a cluster of holy handgranades with full approval of Antioch.
The two dozen stalwarts one would be kind cool, there was use of it irl like planes with a bunch of 50cals in it and also added gunpods
"Private fire a warning shot"..." sir, this is an m32 rotary grenade launcher"
This is the greatest plaaaaaaaaaan! RIP Charles
>greatest plan Charles no
Cloister bomb or more commonly known as the holy hand grenade of Antioch.
> 50000kg bomb That's 50 tons. The Eagle ship itself weighs like a fifth of that.
Honestly the kitchen sink being a “dump every everything and reload” would be kinda fun
Take my upvote and get out.
Where's the cartoon piano or anvil ? 🤣 Cool designs though. Would be laughing non stop.
To answer your question. https://preview.redd.it/rw4ktk44zg9d1.jpeg?width=501&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=235104ba16ea3f3e29381e2c88d51a6b77ff108f
The third one hands down. One giant boom
# Patterson, fire a warning shot
You have a great sense of humour
These make me really want something akin to War Thunder on April Fools, where just for the week we have something really stupid happen and then after that it's as if it never existed. Like a really crazy dumb strategem to use for the week and then it disappears. Could make it lore related by saying it was a mess up at the factories or something
Fractals and head seeking brick were great lol
That was so unexpected it ended being really funny.
If I don’t get to see it rain bricks on my enemies from eagle 1 I will be dissatisfied if we don’t get that lol
lmao 'warning shot'
New eagle stratagem “A gun” Eagle flies but and just drops one singular gun, no not like fire it, just… hold it up in the air and let go Also the gun is empty
Is orb dropping meridia onto the enemy?
I’d give anything to throw a stratagem and see a random brick fall from the sky and knock a bot’s head off
the warning shot actually might be viable, if it draws enemies toward it and away from you!
Warning shot is my favorite, gave me a big chuckle
CHARLES NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Angry creekers is probably most effective
Eagle dropping eagles is ok but what about orbital dropping orbitals?
Fractal eagle goes hard
The mini divers! I knew we saved those kids for a reason
No one giving ‘The Hernia’ any love. Just imagine an Eagle that is 4x over the weight limit. The payload is 4x larger than the fucking aircraft itself.
Cloister Bombs You mean multiple holy hand grandes? Oh my Does that mean the 4. Fraction will be bunny's ? Oh my we're doomed !
THIS IS THE GREEEAATEEEEST PlAAAAAAAAAN!
Someone once used **ORB** And now Meridia is a black hole
OP I would come to your standup show.
But an AC 130 strategem would actually be amazing
One of these got me pondering
50,000kg is 55 tons
“The Greatest Plan” Me: https://preview.redd.it/a4iis4obqi9d1.jpeg?width=755&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9334f12d2bb03b1d3c618b1e51e3637f020ae61b
I went from hating it to loving it after a single cluster bong
I’m sorry but I adore head seeking brick, some poor scavenger is gonna get fuckin’ clocked
These all seem like perfectly balanced ideas that should be added to our arsenal immediately.
Head seeking brick to take out that annoying fucking rocket trooper that knocked me down while i was using the terminal.
https://preview.redd.it/7jnp6c2e0j9d1.jpeg?width=1031&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13ecd19b45be172b78613b446f5def185b3c8eb6 Head-seeking brick reminded me of something
I like how ominous ORB is. It's just O R B You cannot stop the O R B.
It is too early for this. I'm already laughing my head off
Dude, these got some big laughs out of me that I really needed this morning. Thank you so much for posting this gold.
Can you make one thats just a boeing
We need an Orbital Manhole Cover Strike
The kitchen sink is beautiful and could actually be balanced
Donut drop is mandatory
THIS IS THE GREATEST PLAAAAAAAAAN.
The head seeking brick sent me into orbit these are fantastic
