Arrowhead has a lot of plans for the future of Helldivers 2. Right now we’re all anticipating the DSS and the eventual arrival of the Illuminate, but there is even more players are looking forward to such as new weapons and items. While nothing is guaranteed, a Helldivers 2 leak has shown off a mysterious new weapon that could possibly come to HD2 soon.
As for what we know about the future of HD2, Arrowhead has confirmed they are fixing the game’s most divisive feature, and they are also looking to revamp the jet pack. In addition, the developer has explained why vote-to-kick will “probably not” be introduced despite fan feedback, and leaks continue to surface about the Illuminate before their arrival.
While we cannot wait for the Illuminate to make their debut as the game’s third faction, there are other interesting Helldivers 2 leaks online involving weapons.
Helldivers 2 leak shows “Kalashnikov style rifle”
Helldivers 2 leaker, Iron_S1ghts, has shown an image of a new gun that could be coming to HD2. It is referred to as a “Kalashnikov style rifle”.
According to Iron_S1ghts, “Not much is known about the weapon, just the model”. From their point-of-view, the weapon is reminiscent of the AK-19 as the “barrel and handguard are very similar”.
Unfortunately, there’s no details about the weapon’s stats or how it functions. In the replies, some comments have said it “Looks like the sniper from the first game,” meanwhile, others have said “It’s almost like howa battle rifle”.
It’s unclear if this weapon will be introduced to Helldivers 2 as not all datamined content will materialize. Assuming it does get introduced, one way is through a Premium Warbond.
In addition to this “Kalashnikov style rifle,” other leaks have shown old Dune armor and weapons for a Premium Warbond, too.
