Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Shams Jorjani has confirmed that he will consider the fan-made request for a minigun to be added to Helldivers 2. This news comes as a relief for many who have been advocating for this weapon since the game’s release.

While there have been a few hiccups, Helldivers 2 serves as a notable example of effective live-service gaming. Arrowhead maintains active communication with its community, with Jorjani often engaging with players directly on Discord. This interaction creates a perception among fans that their opinions are valued, which is evident through the variety of new content introduced in Helldivers 2 over the past year.

Players have long expressed their desire for a minigun to feature in the game. There are various ways to implement it, such as requiring two players to operate one effectively. The game currently has several versatile weapon options available, yet a player-handled minigun remains a unique idea worth exploring. As potential plans for Helldivers 2 in 2025 develop, including a board game launch slated for April, the game’s engagement with its player base appears promising, indicating a bright future ahead.
