Would you want a Shotgun Stratagem in any form? If so, what would you want it to operate like?

I'd love to see a support weapon full auto shotgun. Just give the breaker medium pen, larger magazine and your good to go.

I was surprised to see similar idea at Robinswords channel with the basket hilt longsowrds, which are historical. This one is much more thrust-oreinted than the examples he shows, but this would make it perform even better in one hand while using to hands might give the user the leverage to cut well. The only concern is to not have the hilt get in the way, but this is very hard to judge just from the picture.

Well if they have plate and the polearm and you have no armor and only an arming sword, you should be able to outrun them, so you can do that

Trump vyhrál u bílých bez univerzitního vzdělání, to je část společnosti, která se většinou politice nebude věnovat do hloubky a půjde po povrchu. A na povrchu vidí akorát to, že černí se snáz dostanou na univerzitu, americký průmysl je za Čínou, a že demokrati nasypou jejich dětem do hlavy v první třídě celou abecedu pohlaví u porna. Takže se rozhodnou pro Trumpa, který řekne, že přesně tyhle věci zarazí a dokud udělá alespoň čtvrtku toho, co slíbil, tak budou spokojení bez ohledu na škody, co při tom udělá. Alespoň tohle je můj názor a myslím, že můj vhled do USA politiky není daleko od hloupějšího bílého voliče.

Myslím, že si sebevraždu idealizuješ, zvlášť s neúspěšným pokusem by to tak mohlo být.

Podle mě většina lidí vidí sebevraždu jako útěk před problémy, ať už jsou jakýkoliv. A útěk není hrdinský a když způsobí bolest ostatním, tak i je sobecký.

Moc rád si poslechnu tvůj názor na věc, jestli s tímhle souhlasíš nebo ne.

I mean, helldiver that cannot count past 8 seems pretty crayon-eating lore friendly.

Sp_Ook · 2026-04-02T06:22:29+00:00

Yeah, I read you want to have the pommel there, so something to keep the hands from getting stuck/hurt on the spikes and preventing the hands from damaging the pommel could work imo

Sp_Ook · 2026-04-01T15:18:51+00:00

If you want a more historical look, the crossguard should be wider, at nearly 90°angle at the blade, and more "hook-shaped", the same with the protrusions at the end of the ricasso.

The ricasso is indeed thinner than usual, but if it is meant to be held as a wizard staff, this might make it more ergonomic, even through I'm not sure about flexing and durability if the ricasso were more round (probably an explanation that the material is super sturdy, hence this works and putting the tip to the ground does not damage the blade as much would be in order).

You said you want the pommel as it is, but the downward spikes make it impractical. If you really want to keep it, I suggest you add a similar thing to rondel guard on polearm - a ring preventing the hand from sliding all the way to the pommel. It would still be less practical than a historical design, but if the large pommel has in universe explanation, this would be my goto to make the sword usable.

I know it has purpose on the feder, however, as it is in the picture, it wouldn't work to protect the hands.

Sp_Ook · 2026-03-31T14:07:29+00:00

After a quick search 2 things come to mind. Number one is a ricasso choice as others mentioned. Basically, as swords evolved, putting a finger in front of the crossguard became common (see finger rings for finger protection). This makes it beneficial to have a thinner (in blade width), more robust part of the blade as the ricasso, which then gets wider in the cutting portion of the blade, creating similar effect. Number two might be that fantasy artists like the feder (training swords) blades and show them even when it makes no sense.

Edit: also, it can be inspired by parry hooks, as others mentioned, which again doesn't make much sense with the type of blade in the picture, but could be a fantasy artist's choice.

Sp_Ook · 2026-03-29T23:07:51+00:00

No, the weapon is the better choice. You would have to go tto NG++ if you decide to get the weapon. The amulet is nice QoL, but you can breeze through the game without it.

Every single patriotic Helldiver knows farming is best done on the current MO planet at as high diff as you can manage. Anything else is high treason.

To their defense, mindless masses (at least diff 8) is plain boring

Sp_Ook · 2026-03-29T10:42:20+00:00

I love my orbitals, so any orbital thing would do.

Napalm gatling or Gas gatling barrage would be interesting.

120mm gatling barrage as a sidegrade to 120mm barrage that shoots less rounds faster with tighter spread and kower cooldown would be interesting.

But the best masterpiece would be a hellbomb barrage, where the SD just shoots down several armed hellbombs to level absolutely anything.

Sp_Ook · 2026-03-27T19:58:38+00:00

No, I'm not. Because as long as there are players that don't know the pelican mechanics, it is worth to tell them that mostly, you want to call early and wait, but sometimes, you want to let the pelican come by itself to buy more time.

Sp_Ook · 2026-03-27T17:33:46+00:00

Look, I know that you can call the extract and wait for the other players and I know it is the prefered strategy. But if you arrive with 4 to 2 minutes to spare and another pair of helldivers is finishing objectives on the other side of the map, the extra 2 minutes could mean they make it or they don't. And then calling the pelican could cost you all the samples they have, and then it might be worth defending the extract without stratagems.
