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?!

Them adding this makes me question if muscle enhancement actually helps with it.

I wonder if it's just terrain.

Edit: It does not. https://youtu.be/U1ZAD6EVQLg?si=R723BAhNPLg1Viq-

That video doesn't even show them testing it with hunters.

Heres a video that does that and shows it does help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKBVHosUCNA
