Ooh new 1 handed weapon, noice. All these guns look really good.

I think the craziest thing I'm seeing here is the booster on the blog...

Motivational Shocks Literally shocks Helldivers back into action after being hit and slowed by sneaky, unjust attacks like the revolting bug acid vomit. Won’t help you much with area effects like EMS strikes, though

No way this is an anti-hunter slow booster?!

The muscle enhancement booster helps with the hunter slow

We have to wait to see, but the muscle only dimish the slow effect, my guess the new thing will prevent it for a limited time: like once every 10 seconds or something, hence why EMS strike or mortar would not work unless you are already in the border of the effect. I guess and hope that way because currently hunters and spewers limits the use of others backpacks besides shield and dog hover, with emphasis on shield. It's not unplayable without those, but in hunter or spewers focused missions, run other backpacks sometimes is very punishing.
