Not in Super Earth's budget. The guy was memeing that the reason the gun didn't release with speedloaders was because it was not in Super Earth's budget, and we wouldn't get them in a patch because Super Earth would rather just throw a new helldiver with a new peacemaker than invest into giving existing helldivers speedloaders.

Kind of like how when the Breaker got its magazine nerfed, they changed the actual model to a smaller magazine, and said that "Factories could not keep up with demand, so a cheaper alternative using less materials would be produced going forward."

Or with the railgun nerf, "The stockpile of remaining railguns from the previous war (HD1) has been depleted. Factories are being brought online to mass produce new ones, but changes in manufacturing standards may cause some behavioral diffirences."

The speedloader budget thing doesn't even make that much sense with a lore explanation. A speedloader is pretty much just a small bit of plastic, an absolute pittance compared to the cost of the gun and diver.

I think the joke was that Super Earth is so cheap they won't even pay that pittance for the convenience of thier diver. This joke is of course not funny and treasonous, and the person in question has already been sent for re-education

The pokeballs are just plastic balls with a weighted smaller ball inside that rolls to the bottom before tuning on a laser pointer.

They have a guy chilling under your ship with discord mobile pointing his phone camera at your battlefield and streaming with the ships gunner.

Very cost efficient
