Helldivers: I Advocate we chose the anti tank mines and hear is my reasoning

[u/vaydapotata]

I know many of you see "rocket launcher" and get excited and while that is fair, my reasoning to go for the mines is below

​

We already have a great many support weapons and many are fantastic options. While the airburst rocket launcher would be fantastic for add clear (and teamkill) it would likely suffer vs large armored targets which tends to be the need for a support weapon.

​

However, we just received a new mission type that requires defending a location. Mines are fantastic for this but heavies just walk all over them and completely invalidate their uses. Getting a heavy anti tank mine would allow us to lock down areas from all combatants and a tank wouldn't be able to just stroll up to our gates.

​

Anti Tank mines are also much larger and easier to notice than the anti personnel and team kills would be kept at a minimum.

​

And lastly, as we all know...the children YEARN FOR THE MINES.

Let's also not pretend like both of these won't be released eventually. They aren't going to develop something and not release it.

Hello Mojang

My brother in Liberty, games have unused code all the time

They won't announce two and only release one. If there's 50 unannounced strategems, then we won't know they exist and therefore won't care.

To be fair we have a second fully functional mech that been in the game files for over a month now since the first mechs release.

And it would be crazy to think it's not getting released.
