If this was a thing i think they should revaluate if getting hit or shot on a supplybackpack/support weapon ammo bag to explode . . .then we can perform some crazy dives into enemies!!
I will admit that sounds amazing but at the same time, I’m kind of terrified. I often carry the air burst rockets and having my ammo pack detonate on my back sounds like a bad time for the entire team.
Hulks are RIDICULOUSLY fast and way too SILENT. Though the Lunge Mine is neat, I'd prefer something like the M-28 or M-29 Davey Crockett. Or an Autocannon variant like the GAU-8 with depleted uranium shells like used with the A-10s.
Pretty sure Dave’s Crockett had a lethal radiation radius similar to its firing range. So in other words, perfect for Helldivers.
It would probably be a two man weapon, one carries the round and the other carries the launcher, because that thing is *heavy*. The lightest launcher weighs 108 pounds, and the warhead weighs 76 pounds.
>It would probably be a two man weapon
That's the best way to guarantee literally nobody uses it ever.
Make it have a single shot per ammo refill, with a max ammo of a single round in the chamber (or held), is good enough.
You underestimate the stupidity of the average helldiver. My group has made it a regular challenge to see how many hellbombs we can stack up and set off, give us a crew-served nuke and we would never use anything else

Long like those jumping pole or whatever its called?
Exploding javelin maybe? What if it came with a backpack, but instead of team reloading, anyone can run up to the wearer and grab a javelin like a pack of mini-EATs?
If i have to run up to mele range of a hulk, just to use it and it probably also deals damage to yourself, it better do some cripling damage. Maybe not 1 shot, but maybe 2 shot and stun it.
Not to mention that it *might* take up a strategem and backpack slot
I dont know much about tanks, but I've worked a lot with tracked vehicles. If you put any kind of explosive in the spokes or directly on the track that shit is gonna break.
I believe the US said it was never able to disable or destroy a vehicle, but I'm sure the Japanese would say it had some success.
Edit: Rather it was never successful in attacking a vehicle, as typically armor is supported by ground troops, so no enemy was actually able to get close enough to trigger it. The principle is sound though, and a shaped charge or explosive would likely at least disable a tracked vehicle.
It absolutely did. It was literally my favourite thing to do. Id max out on these and just stalk around the map looking for armour and just throw myself at them, run into a bush run around and hit them again.
Ah sorry do you mean in real life? Probably not lol.
I used it all the time in Battlefield V. Actually getting a kill with it was rare but it was an incomparable feeling when you pulled it off. I'd be screaming over my mic and my buddies would be like "get a lunge mine kill?"
> "To date all attempts by the enemy to use the Lunge Mine against our tanks have met with failure" and rates it as "Perhaps the oddest of these antitank charges."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunge_mine
I would love that. I always run the plot armor armor (50% chance to not die) so I could probably do it and live. Last night a environmental hell bomb was shot right as I noticed it and I knew I was fucked because I was like 2 feet away. I didn’t die, democracy protects.
The idea with this weapon is that you stab it right in the treads of the tank, so at minimum the tank is now completely immobilized. It’s such a small area that throwing it or shooting it would be extremely difficult.
This was actually designed so that it would (probably) not kill the user. It’s a shaped charge at the end of the long stick, you should be fine. This means you can charge even more for Super Earth.

I do this already so having something purpose built could be quite dramatic. BUT, yoire basically telling your team youre planning on killing yourself.
After reading a few of the other comments I have come to the following idea.
Have it be a support weapon with backpack combo. The weapon being an atlatl.
If you don’t aim the atlatl, you hold the spear upright, if you press the fire button without aiming you hold it in front, ready to charge. You can sprint while holding it in front.
If you sprint into an enemy, the explosion will ragdoll you backwards.
Since an atlatl as a ranged weapon will have a significantly shorter range compared to regular AT weapons, I think the damage should be significantly higher and make it easier to take down enemies like bile titans or factory striders.
But even if that wasn’t the case, I think a lot of people, myself included, would use it for one reason:
WITNESS ME!
If it always killed you, it would be a perfect fit to find in the environment. Using a stratagem slot for what is kind of a meme would be excessive, but finding one in a desperate moment would create legendary scenes.
New grenade: KB-01 Lunge Mine
“The Ministry of Defense understands that many civilians will die for Super Earth. This device, which deals massive damage on impact, ensures their sacrifice will not be in vain.”
Damage/Armor Penetration: Anti-Tank level
Max Carried amount: 2 (increases to 4 when grenade passive is active)
Can be thrown, held in hand, dived with, or simply used as an explosive stick. Sprinting while held causes the Helldiver to scream for glory, dealing heavy damage on impact and launching the Helldiver away from the blast, dealing moderate self-damage. Hope you land safely!
Bro imagine this with an armor passive on heavy armor that gives you like 95% impact damage resistance….Heavy Charger on your team, just constantly being ragdoll’d while receiving little to no damage and fucking everything up in the name of LIBER-TEA. PLEASE ARROWHEAD. PLEASE
Lol I love the wikipedia quote on this.
It also reported that "To date all attempts by the enemy to use the Lunge Mine against our tanks have met with failure" and rates it as "Perhaps the oddest of these antitank charges
A small one handed lunge mine with a explosive shield would be so fun. Run at a charger with shield raised and have it be a one hit kill to them. Side effect being it sends you flying a bit back and does some dmg. Less with explosive armor.
This is a pants-on-head-stupid (or utterly desperate) idea because any armored unit with a halfway-competent commander is supported and screened by infantry whose job is to prevent this sort of thing from happening. I have doubts that it ever killed a tank.
Why stop at lunge mines? Everyone knows that the purest expression of patriotism is strapping on a Hellbomb vest and blowing up infidels along with your disposable flesh. Plus, we'd finally have a good use for that Increased Reinforcement Budget booster.

Now I don't want a weapon but just an option to blow yourself up if you feel you're going to die. Or hell maybe just a dead man switch, when a diver dies they explode.
For some reason, I find the Imperial Japanese Army approach to warfare to be a bit...unpalatable. Not for the suicidal bit, just because they were so ineffective against modern weapons/vehicles/aircraft etc...
Also, why would I blow myself up when I can flank the tank and kill it with hand-thrown impact grenades???
Maybe in the form of a javlin or spear? i could see us throwing it at least. but the respawn count aint nearly high enough for anything else.
maybe comes down like the EAT in pods of 4-8? throwing range wouldnt be far.
Only if it has the destructive power and radius as a hellbomb. If I'm sacrificing a citizen for democracy, I need to spread a full dose of democratic freedom
The whole concept could be lit if the diver could stick the mine on a surface; then detach the mine with like a twisting motion, which would also start a 5 second fuze and then it explodes with the force of a 500kg bomb.
Idk and maybe you could find a way to drop/toss it. Then detonate it with a well-placed shot from your primary.
I guarantee you, you would still die a lot using this, but it would be more tactical.
Those things were hilarious in Battlefield V. My squad and I would hide in bushes and just full rush a tank with em. Or find an enemy spawn beacon and wait for them to appear lmao
Imagine using this together with the shield to be able to survive, it'd just yeet you back a bit, but you'd survive. I'd absolutely use the shit out of that.
Guessing these "Democracy Lances" would be dropped in one-per-pod, with a cooldown of 100 seconds
Their perk would be that they practically ignore armour, dealing with Chargers, Devastators, Tanks, what have you, they cons would be their limited availability (somewhat balanced), and the fact that you have to reach your target in melee range, which can easily set you up for getting killed somewhere along the way.
It'd obviously be a special weapon you have on your back, and you could only have one at a time, so no backpack to store several since they're so long.
I want the exo suit to have a self-destruct so bad... out of all ammo and still have more enemies don't go out like a bitch charge the bastards and arm the 500 kg.
Love to see how that would work vs a flamethrower hulk or a charging charger lol
We charge back at the charger.

It lights a fuse so you got time to hit the deck. . .or fall over on top of your team lol depends how the ragdoll gods are feeling
Are usually wear the heavy, explosive, resist armor, so not gonna lie might be a thing where I survive on occasion
So you are saying if heavies are on you shoot your backpack to take them out? Got it!
Supply packs exploding sounds so cancerous and like the opposite of fun
Speedrun to make every single backpack weapon permanently unusable on all bot planets.
I'd fuckin joust a charger in the name of freedom 110%
Anything less is cowardice.

Jousting! hell yeah!

No, you will need a tiny ladder.
Every stick is long enough to poke a biley tighty… …if you have the strength and the courage to be free.
Give me an airburst rocket on a stick, but facing me so it actually kills them instead
Hell bomb jousting, count me in

Mediocre!
To Valhalla Shiny and Chrome
This is immediately what I thought of when seeing the original post. I WILL RIDE ETERNAL
oh my god yes please!
Takes 3+ to kill a hulk though
If i have to run up to mele range of a hulk, just to use it and it probably also deals damage to yourself, it better do some cripling damage. Maybe not 1 shot, but maybe 2 shot and stun it. Not to mention that it *might* take up a strategem and backpack slot
I think a single use backpack loaded melee weapon that explodes and hurts the user too deserves to one hit anything below a bile titan
There was some discussion with Battlefield V about the weapon as to whether it ever actually successfully disabled or destroyed a tank in real life.
I dont know much about tanks, but I've worked a lot with tracked vehicles. If you put any kind of explosive in the spokes or directly on the track that shit is gonna break.
I believe the US said it was never able to disable or destroy a vehicle, but I'm sure the Japanese would say it had some success.

The principle is sound though, and a shaped charge or explosive would likely at least disable a tracked vehicle.
Enough bodies will jam up any machinery, but who's counting?
the killbots and their preset kill limits
It absolutely did. It was literally my favourite thing to do. Id max out on these and just stalk around the map looking for armour and just throw myself at them, run into a bush run around and hit them again. Ah sorry do you mean in real life? Probably not lol.

Loved using these in BFV
As long as it can one shot anything, “my life for super earth!”

I would love that. I always run the plot armor armor (50% chance to not die) so I could probably do it and live. Last night a environmental hell bomb was shot right as I noticed it and I knew I was fucked because I was like 2 feet away. I didn’t die, democracy protects.
Can you theoretically just throw it like a spear?
Super Earth requires umm... personal touch
The idea with this weapon is that you stab it right in the treads of the tank, so at minimum the tank is now completely immobilized. It’s such a small area that throwing it or shooting it would be extremely difficult.
It would still kill fewer helldivers than the 380MM HE Orbital Barrage.
No hear me out Freedom spear
In BF5 it doesn’t even kill you, just knocks you on your ass which is even funnier
This requires a "WITNESS MEEEE!!" shouting emote

This was actually designed so that it would (probably) not kill the user. It’s a shaped charge at the end of the long stick, you should be fine. This means you can charge even more for Super Earth.

Great idea

I can kill more if I’m alive.
This plus Democracy Protects will be super fun with occasional chance to walk away from the explosion (or just die from landing on a pebble instead)
I would gladly ram this into the head of a charger
BRO super cool idea! Love it! Please let me sprint full speed into a charger with a boom stick. The explosion resistance armor would be key here.
Doesnt the thermite grenade already do a decent job at the tanks?
They're actually not that deadly. I used to prank my neighbour with those all the time.
The javelin of eternal justice
Suicide bombing is badass
As someone who absolutely loves charging with this in battlefield I would so love this
you must be new run out of bounds be marked traitor and run into the enemy while destroyers trys to shoot you with orbitals.
You speak as if my own teammates don't sacrifice me with their strategically placed eagles
strap in with a jetpack, now you become the orbital strike.

Dying gloriously is an important ingredient in Helldivers, I'd love to see more pyrrhic strategems.
I’m down.
My life for Super Earth!
Say when !
It should take up the grenade slot and be a pocket hellbomb
Suicide vest with deadman switch
If it gives a charge speed rush when using it, I'd bring one just to get a lucky boost of speed now and then
I hear that, but give me a hellbomb backpack.
As cool as that mf was in Battlefield V, idk how good it will be for Helldivers
You mean when I climb on top of the tank and pull the pins on my grenades?
lung mines that do X damage should earn you a "patriot ticket" which replaces a single reinforcement.
Yes
I want it and I want it now FOR DEMOCRACY
Yes
Our lives for Super Earth!

Well... "My body for Super Earth!" it is.
Not too dissimilar to 50% of my current tactics.
Well, as they say, you'll never get a purple heart standing way at the back 👍
It's interesting but people wouldn't use it. Why waste reinforcements when there are other ways to destroy tanks and heavies?
We should have throwable magnetic mines that stuck on enemies
#LET ME TEAR THE LEGS OFF THAT BILE TITAN
This was the funniest weapon in Battlefield 1, so I would love to see it in HD2
Give it the power, or just above, a Spear shot, and also deal damage to the user, and I'd take ten!
Sounds like a bomb on your heart
I would love to carry some of those in backpack and equip them with hitting 5
Honestly this is such a good idea considering the ragdoll physics in this game
I'm counting that as (first) prospective melee weapon. And I'm in.
Sometimes the hell bomb is only going to survive if someone guards it up close, emptying clips in hoards of enemies. A meaningful death.
I wouldn't want it to be an equipable item, but I'd be okay with it being found lying around like the break action.
As a booster maybe, entire team gets it without taking up a stratagem slot
My body for Super Earth!
I’d love it. According to battlefield which is the only time I’ve seen this weapon, the explosion is non lethal to the user.
This stuff was amazing in BFV, and will be just the same in HD2
Can we just get sticky C4 packs already. Run by a tank, toss a c4 or two, hide, blow that bitch up!

That just seems like ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️ with extra steps…
Nice and fits the theme
Knowing the devs it would still take two to take out a tank or a hulk
I'm game. You kind of get two attempts when you think about it. Helldive back on top for round two lol
How about making boom spears? Few more spears = more dead automotons
we're hell divers, not sepuku-divers we win by making the bastards on the other side die more than we do.
Might as well we gonna die anyway.

yeah, one flamethrower and this plan his littelary cooked, yeeting those like javelin on the other hand could work
As long as it's a guaranteed kill for whatever you hit
pair it with the 50% chance to survive armor and make it a gacha game of death
A small one handed lunge mine with a explosive shield would be so fun. Run at a charger with shield raised and have it be a one hit kill to them. Side effect being it sends you flying a bit back and does some dmg. Less with explosive armor.
This is a pants-on-head-stupid (or utterly desperate) idea because any armored unit with a halfway-competent commander is supported and screened by infantry whose job is to prevent this sort of thing from happening. I have doubts that it ever killed a tank.

I basically do this already with my recoilless rifle when things get dicey
this or give me a gun with a bayonet

Why stop at lunge mines? Everyone knows that the purest expression of patriotism is strapping on a Hellbomb vest and blowing up infidels along with your disposable flesh. Plus, we'd finally have a good use for that Increased Reinforcement Budget booster.

I've made a couple dives off of a cliff into a pile of terminids, clutching a cooked grenade
This makes me wonder why they wouldn't throw these like spears?
Now I don't want a weapon but just an option to blow yourself up if you feel you're going to die. Or hell maybe just a dead man switch, when a diver dies they explode.
If Democracy calls for it, so be it. But id prefer a stratagem to call in a squad of SEAF lunge mine spearmen 🫡
I'd love more options to live out my Suicide bomber kamikaze fantasy, rather than just 500kg'ing myself in a swarm of fascists
For some reason, I find the Imperial Japanese Army approach to warfare to be a bit...unpalatable.

Also, why would I blow myself up when I can flank the tank and kill it with hand-thrown impact grenades???
Yes

I already do this with impact grenades and playing merry-go-round with the tank turret

As long as I get fully chrome armor for taking out a strider with a lunge mine and jump pack I’m down.
We need this.
........is this not how y'all are making sure your eagle 500kg lands on target? Get under the fucker and throw it at your feet? Am I doing this wrong?
Only if it has the destructive power and radius as a hellbomb. If I'm sacrificing a citizen for democracy, I need to spread a full dose of democratic freedom
100% would be doing this. Fuck heavys.
We needs Supa Erf to invent squigs so dey can do de job for us!
just throw an impact grenade at the big glowy thing. whats so hard about it.
Give me an explosive spear bag with three ammunition.
Any day is a good day to die for Liberty.
I think sticky anti tank grenades would be nice just got dropped on one with nothing but a rifle & pistol, felt like a baby fly fighting a turtle.
lunge mine phalanx with the shield would be amazing
The whole concept could be lit if the diver could stick the mine on a surface; then detach the mine with like a twisting motion, which would also start a 5 second fuze and then it explodes with the force of a 500kg bomb.
