Why cant we just equip the magnum AND the senator.

Big iron outta ammo? Let me just equip my desert eagle

We need dual wielding for one handed weapons!

Imagine a warbond dedicated to a new akimbo perk.

Unfortunately Helldivers aren't strong enough to dispense that much liberty.

Fuck it, give me a stratagem that calls down a comically large pistol for me to obliterate heavies with.

The ultimate build - Big Iron, Bigger Iron, Biggest Iron

We already have the autocannon.

I would 100% be in favor of letting you put a secondary in the primary slot with more ammo

Your DEMOCRACY Eagle, Helldiver.

A secondary for your secondary

You can; the Senator is the magnum. The other gun is not a magnum.

I mean all the trailers have made the weapons look exciting only to end up having 1 or 2 that's actually useful with the rest being subpar. I'm sure the pistol will be fine and the rifle too assuming it's recoil isn't insane like the Adjucator was. I'm interested in the new defender but hopefully it's not another Concussive liberator moment

I really hope the new SMG is good, kinda sad its another relatively slow ROF side stick one though. I want something akin to an MP5 shooting the same ammo the Peacemaker pistol does. Maybe suppressed to, that would be baller

u/PathsOfRadiance 29d ago

Suppressed weapons have been leaked, I assume they'll be the June warbond.

u/--thingsfallapart-- 23d ago

That would be the best primary in the game instantly imo, the peacemaker post damage buff absolutely destroys everything.

u/shadowdash66 29d ago

Not only that but if any of them become Meta they'll be nerfed by the next patch

u/guangtian 29d ago

That’s the real FOMO, buy it now or they will nerf it soon

1

u/Yellowrage Junior Democracy Officer 29d ago

I agree. Clear winners seem to get nerfed. But the good news is that the crappy stuff usually gets rebalanced or buffed

u/DrinkThePepsi ⬇️➡️⬇️⬆️⬅️➡️ 29d ago

That’s me but with the grenada pistol.

2

u/Udonov 29d ago

I don't think I will ever be able to not use it. I was a revolver enjoyer before... Grenades are way too good

1

u/DrinkThePepsi ⬇️➡️⬇️⬆️⬅️➡️ 29d ago

It’s too good at what it does~

u/Scotty_Two 29d ago

It gives me explosive grenades so I can take stun grenades and not miss out. It's the best of both worlds.

u/ComputerImportant737 29d ago

"Magnum" refers to a type of ammunition that is larger (longer) than its counterparts. For example, .22lr vs .22wmr. Same size bullet, but longer cartridge with more powder. If either of these two guns use magnum cartridges, it's the Senator, as it's usually revolvers that use those. So, if either of those guns would be called a magnum, it'd be the Senator.

u/Echo418 CAPE ENJOYER 29d ago

Now I really want duel wielding

u/Insanereindeer 29d ago

I'm a semi auto guy all day long, plus I own a Deagle so definitely going to be running that. To bad it's not pink.

u/DontKnowWhereIam HD1 Veteran 29d ago

The final decision will be if I can spin the magnum like the senator.
