Helldivers 2 players want the Dark Fluid Jetpack added to the game

The recent Helldivers 2 Major Order brought with it one of the most fun, yet frustrating, missions that we’ve seen in the game for quite some time. It was also great to see Arrowhead Game Studios create a unique mission that would only be available for a few days, showing that the developers are putting a lot of effort into providing quality experiences for players.

One feature of the Operation: “Enduring Peace” mission was the inclusion of the Dark Fluid which acted as a Jetpack while players were carrying it to the drill site. There is already a Jetpack available in Helldivers 2, but this new one performed much better, and players want to see it become a permanent Stratagem in the game.

U/EH_1995_ took to Reddit to ask Arrowhead Game Studios to bring it to the game for players to use in all missions saying,

“Now that Merida is gone, I’m really missing that dark fluid jetpack. Being able to damage surrounding bugs when you blast off, was sooo satisfying, I actually started using that as an offensive move instead of just trying to get away. On top of that it seemed to have a much shorter cool-down too.

It would be great if a new purchasable ship upgrade became available that could add these effects to the jetpack we have (I feel like that would be better than adding the dark fluid one as an alternative option as that would make the original redundant).”

Following the creation of the black hole, Ship Master Kimura does mention that Dark Fluid is on board the ship still saying “I’m a little nervous having the Dark Fluid aboard the ship.” This could be an indication that the technology will be used in future Stratagems.

With Dark Fluid being on board, it would be great to see it fused with many of the existing weapons, armor, and Stratagems to add some unique features and perks. But for now, we highly recommend checking out our Helldivers 2 best weapons guide and best armor guide so you can be equipped and ready for when The Illuminate makes themselves known in the galaxy.
