As a seasoned Helldivers 2 player, I’ve encountered all sorts of challenges in this galactic warfare. From players choking on gas bombs to creative tactics involving charging units, the battlefield constantly evolves.

Recent updates introduced the Lift-860 hover pack, enhancing player mobility. One intelligent player cleverly combined this tool with a flamethrower to devastating effect against bile titans. A viral video showcased this daring tactic, featuring a player named cur1y_n3ctar soaring through the air while unleashing a barrage of flames.

Highlights from the Reddit Community

Responses to the video were overwhelmingly positive:

“That was extremely metal!” - Good_Policy3529
Translation: That was very impressive!
“When this game works, it’s unbeatable for cinematic moments.” - Nknk
Translation: The game is incredibly good in those moments.
One user aptly dubbed this build the ‘dragon build,’ a nod to its fiery devastation, combining the hover pack with a flamethrower. Several among the community have since adopted similar strategies, proudly referring to them as firefly builds after a famous pyromaniac character from Batman lore.

This trend emerges just before the first anniversary of the game’s most iconic battle, Malevelon Creek, hinting at exciting possibilities for future gameplay and community strategies.
