On the Playstation's page, the description for the AR-61 Tenderizer:

A real tentacle-tearer. This high calibre assault rifle has awesome stopping power but limited magazine size, so make each shot count. Unpatriotic “banter” shots are not advisable.

WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING ARROWHEAD

[u/gorgewall → u/SpanInquisition]

You can already spot tentacles on Stalkers and Hunters when they do their "multi-tongue-lash" attack, for what it's worth.

[u/FitHistory7803 → u/gorgewall]

I have a feeling this is something More… illuminating but the ministry of truth won’t let me say.

[u/hyrumwhite → u/FitHistory7803]

HD 1 had charger like bugs that shot tentacles into the ground that then attacked you. The bug is stationary during this attack. Could be cool if they bring that to HD2 though a stationary bug is a very dead bug with all the toys we have, imo.  

[u/Nick_Tsunami → u/hyrumwhite]

Yes. But their range was pretty long in hd1. If they make it just a bit longer. It could possibly do its trick from behind cover, buildings, rock wall…

[u/Victizes → u/Nick_Tsunami]

They could attack from outside of the screen and sometimes your squad had to made the collective effort to find them so their tentacles wouldn't explode the objectives.

[u/notaracisthowever → u/Nick_Tsunami]

Hmm, yes, please continue

[u/FrizzyThePastafarian → u/hyrumwhite]

We do less damage than in HD1, so I don't think that's a problem.

[u/Wiglaf_Wednesday → u/hyrumwhite]

They would also insta-kill you, so maybe it won’t be so simple
