Helldivers 2 fans have a lot to look forward to from Arrowhead. The next crossover might have already leaked, meanwhile, fans have discovered a massive skeleton, possibly teasing the most powerful Terminid yet. Super Earth soldiers have a huge wishlist of ideas for the game, and, while not everything will become reality, the Arrowhead CEO has teased “maybe one day” Helldivers 2 fans will get a highly-requested feature.

On the Helldivers Discord, Arrowhead CEO, Shams Jorjani, often responds to the community. This time, the CEO was asked if the developer have any plans to add the ability for players to “duel wield guns like the P-4 senator or P-113 verdict”.

In asking the question, the user said, “I think this will be really fun and honestly really cool. I already love these guns currently but using 2 would be awesome even if they use up a primary weapon slot”.

While Jorjani’s response was brief, he admitted it’s a “common” request, and that “maybe one day” it will materialize. This doesn’t guarantee it will happen, but it at least confirms Arrowhead are aware of the demand and have not completely shut down the idea.

Dual wielding weapons like Dante, Max Payne, and Lara Croft in their prime is something Super Earth soldiers have requested since the launch of HD2. There are several posts on Reddit dedicated to the idea of duel wielding, with players firmly believing it would be incredibly fun while still suiting the aesthetic and tone of Helldivers 2.

Hopefully duel wielding a primary and secondary weapon becomes reality in the future. Even if it’s only possible with pistols, it would be extremely cool, and it would undoubtedly be fun, too.
