Helldivers 2has various types of weapons, armor, and stratagems that cater to all kinds of players as they enter the Galactic War and fight against Automatons and Terminids. Arrowhead Game Studios has also brought new weapons and other items to help players with every new update.

This has helped players complete several major orders and push the enemy forces behind. However, players are not happy with the shield pack as it does not help them survive long against the enemies, and they want developers to bring two stratagems from the previous game.
Fans Want Two Stratagems from Helldivers 2’s Predecessor
The Shield Pack inHelldivers 2can be purchased after players reach a certain level, and it provides them with a shield that extends the amount ofdamage they can take from the enemies. But the shield pack does not help as much as it should, and players are now sick of it.

One such player on Reddit, u/Liqhthouse, took to the r/Helldiverssubreddit and said that there should be more survival-based stratagems inHelldivers 2if they want to pick up anything other than Shield Pack. The player presented their case, saying that only a shield pack helps them survive.
They also added that they can use the ballistic shield, but it is only for use against bots. Further explaining, the player said that there are methods that help players keep the stims full, but there is a need for things that would directly help a Helldiver, and they provided Arrowhead with some ideas.

User Liqhthouse said the developer should bring the REP-80 and Angel healing drones fromHelldivers 1and also think about bringing the“displacement field perk as well.”ManyHelldivers 2players agreed that these stratagems could really help the players against their enemies.

What Are the REP-80 and Angel Healing Drone Stratagems?
The use also explained why these stratagems would be suited for use inHelldivers 2. REP-80 is a blue support stratagem gun available in the originalHelldiversgame that can be used by players to direct a healing beam at other players. This stratagem gun can also be upgraded.

The beam can then be directed at teammates, turrets, vehicles, and mechs. The user said that this stratagem was“almost essential”for defense missions on small maps, and it may betoo powerful in the current stateforHelldivers 2, but it can be balanced to suit the game.
AD-289 Angel is a healing drone, like guard dogs, that heals players and their teammates. The player said that this could be a“very competitive pick”inHelldivers 2. The Displacement Field is a perk that activates when players take critical damage and teleports them to a safe place.

The user said that it is very useful in instances where players get hit by a rocket or by random airstrikes from a teammate. They said that it being added toHelldivers 2would be able to compete with the shield pack as an alternative.
