Another player even asked for a feline with beams, but that’s just too much for a co-op title. A player also said that a portable minigun would be a great addition to the game. Another fan requested a shotgun axe, and one wanted a light sword. Not saber, sword.

While fans have utilized the opportunity to request their favorite weapons, many have also shared the concept weapon art that they have worked on. Many of the artists have also served in the military, and the concept art looks pretty amazing and could be great if the weapons came to life inHelldivers 2.
