Did you enjoy celebrating Liberty Day over the weekend in Helldivers 2 ? Well, if the answer's no, you've missed out on being part of a horde of players falling in love with the deliberately slightly terrible in sheer performance terms gun that Arrowhead gave the divers as part of its in-game festivities. Liberty Day, if you're not into Super Earth lore, is a long-running in-game holiday that's been baked into the Helldivers universe, with players and devs coming together to celebrate, er, freedom and the other usual stuff, via a day of stuff on October 26. Ok, I've probably made it sound a bit lame there, but there are surprise dissident executions , so hopefully that helps convince you this is a big deal for the divers.
Anyway, as part of these celebrations this year, which also included a unique 24-hour Major Order , Arrowhead gave Helldivers 2 players the R-2124 Constitution rifle and DP-00 tactical armour set. The latter's a nice classic Helldivers getup, but it's the former that's instantly wormed its way into the hearts of the divers. Basically, it's an old school bolt-action rifle that wouldn't seem too out of place in a Call of Duty set in one of the two world wars, or even something like Red Dead Redemption .
Performance-wise, as you'd expect, it's not quite on the same level as a lot of the more modern or high-tech ordnance in the game's arsenal, but that doesn't matter, because it's excellent for two things - musketeer roleplaying and stabbing stuff. Yep, as you c.
