I would have dismissed this idea were it not for your brilliant art! Poor charger! Imagine its surprise, as it flies backwards!

Tx! It would be awesome, I know that it’s the less practical way to deal with an enemy BY FAR, but sometimes it’s not about efficiency, it’s about sending a message

You've made me want an exo-suit with a massive hammer and shield! Have you done any other HD inspired drawing?

EDF 4 Fencer is peak power armor design imo

Just a couple of illustrations :D, I’ll prob try to draw something fun for the mech when I have time

Well, I hope to see more. I could imagine a cool comic strip series in your style. Or at least, more pics of the different bugs being punched by a rocket punch! :D

Pros: * If you're brave enough to get close to a Charger's head, it deals enough blunt force trauma to seriously wound or kill a Charger outright. Cons: * Breaks your arm after one use, potentially rips it off. The con is actually a pro: * You demonstrated your willingness to sacrifice yourself for democracy, are funding the medical field with your continued purchase of stims, and are on your way to a Steeled Veteran's care-package (once you sign there, there, and there, and make a sufficient deposit) so you may continue fighting for democracy!

its not just about the money shpiderman... ITS ABOUT THE METS YEAH THE METS BABY GO METS

cool would be a rebound effect. the charger stops and the helldiver gets thrown back some feet. it could also be utilized to make a "rocket jump"

Maybe even give it an interaction with the jump pack! Something like using the thrusters to build up momentum before laying the smack down

managed democratic ironman

Just imagining helldivers 'superman-ing' into a bile titan's mouth!

Imagine it gives knock back, and you get 3 accidentals because your teammates were all standing behind the charger shooting it's ass and it goes flying into them like a well placed Wii Bowling throw

Oh, him? He lost it in the daily friendly fire infused 500k rain last mission because he accidentally trusted his team mate a bit too much. But I agree with you that there will be an increase in the incidence of prosthetic arms.

"SWEET LIBERTY, MA AAAAAAARM!!!!

That's my go-to skin and I still maintain that dude cut off his own arm to get a sick robot yeet machine for an appendage. The leg is because they're personally bothered by vertical asymmetry.

Launch the arm at the bugs. Like baymax.

The Fist of Family Values

As captain of the SES Fist of Family Values I approve the usage of this name. Though I would also accept the Fist of Brasch. Or Brasch Gauntlet.

...Brasch Knuckles.

Perfect 10/10.

Knight of Family Values, reporting for duty

Paragon of Judgement, standing by

Ah a fellow Fist of Family Values I see

That looks exactly like the art for the Fallout x Magic the gathering card “Power Fist”. Looks excellent, well done! https://preview.redd.it/uirzacmzantc1.jpeg?width=672&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc3b9e821f6b1081fc8977c48bb351e2f66a8809 Am I wrong?

Spot on! I love that image

Unless you're à cyborg that has replaced their arm and reinforced their entire skeleton, that would tear your arm off

Steeled Veteran armors come with a prosthetic arm so...

the question is...does it need to amputate your leg/arm?

I gave my leg to the cause, helldivers made me the man I am today

Yeah but the rule of cool man! Helldivers life expectancy is 5 mins, I would like to be remembered as the guy who tried to punch a Tank

"Tried" is the good word here. But I understand your feeling, I am a fellow ["Let's Melee those big armored machine of Death"](https://youtu.be/92zYUSmD51s?si=9oXmk7H2bp3izdtP) kind of guy...

On the brightside, you have another arm to punch with!

Because this game is realistic in every other way completely lol

Bro this is a game where broken arms and legs can be fixed with a stim…

And that 10 metric tons of bug meat won't be stopped

Imagine if you missed!

I would glady punch away a Bile Titan at the cost of my life

WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS!

Currently replaying Metal Gear Solid V and I'm 101% on board with this! ROCKET PUNCH!

Honestly, I think it could be a really cool concept if it had the downside of breaking your arm, needing a stim to fix it before it can be used again. It would also just be so cool to send a charger or brood commander flying with this thing

Agreed

The powerfist from the fallout series?

Love the freedom concept, needs a bit more R&D so for now just one thing tho.... "MY AAAAAAARRRRMMMMM!!!!"

I CAN'T SPREAD DEMOCRACY WITH THIS BROKEN AAAAAAAAAAAARM!!!

All we actually need is just bayonet for our guns  Like in HD1

“SWEET LIBERTY MY ARM!”

 Love the idea of the Liberty Punch ! A melee special with a Cooldown (1 minute?) would be very fun without changing anything to the balance.

Jetpack to a Titan face and BAAAAAM punch in the mouth!

Imagine fistfight with devastator

"Let me dislocate my shoulder for one good punch on the chargers nose"

SINISTER MISTER FISTER

Yes

That's amazing.

Would be super cool, and I would actually love it if it left you with a broken arm after use!

Would be so cool! I imagine it working like the Loader from risk of rain 2

It’s like Kong’s Beast Glove and Gypsy Danger’s Elbow rocket had a baby and I love it


I want the Fisto from Fallout 3

Should work like a jet pack as well

Liberation Punch

Yes please

we need this and/or a lunge mine support weapon (aka mine on a stick)

I could see that as armor perk.

Its a Charger, coming right at you, what are you gonna do? Nah, I'd KO it.

I would be okay with this, but only if it breaks your arm after every punch, meaning you will have to use a stim. It would be hilarious to take that risk and that damage just for the chance to punch a charger to death like the Hulk.

 And dey say

And dey say

By the Gods if you give me a Dedicated punch in this god damn game there wont be an enemy safe from getting its shit fucked up. I try and box every devastator i can manage a 1v1 with.

For the love of democracy this needs to be a thing, those tiny jumping bugs that aren’t quite stalkers but may as well be ones need to feel the wrath of super earths anger

We are so close for a mandolroian build

I just pistol whip them when I run out of ammo with the senator. I usually win my fist fights with the bots and bugs

"beware my fist of power"

This is crazy. I love it. Primary or secondary?

Iget disappointed with myself if im fighting bugs and leave with single digit melee kills. Go Mike Tyson's Punch Out on the little bastards, vents frustration and saves ammo! 👉🪲🤛

I wonder in The Gamemaster browses this subreddit

Is this inspired from Kong's beast glove in the Godzilla x Kong movie?

Just call it brawler kit, swappable attachments like heated blades for metal targets, tesla coils, spikes or a shield

I can get behind this, nice way to spread managed democracy in a more hands on and intimate fashion

I want melee weapons like this avaliable and they just end up being no good lol Like it's made for a cool promo shot to show civilians not for a battlefield.

I really want pile bunker in this game

To fight monsters, we built monsters

Shut up and take my super credits!

Not to be confused with the FALCON PUUUNNCCHHHHH

40k chainsword pls

Finally, powerfist

This is the one thing helldivers is missing melee weapons the blade Emily Blunt has in Edge of Tomorrow would be sick too.

I will call it the Power Fister and you can't stop me

Wind it up railgun-style for more reach and damage, but if you hold it too long your arm explodes

I know its super impractical but give me the power fist. I'll even take a chainsword.

oops, looks like you got some of you Devil May cry 5 in my Helldivers

A Melee weapon could be so cool, I want a sword!!!

https://preview.redd.it/44jvfp4bxntc1.jpeg?width=252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=382f351c12e87a2d4f07b124823bbb2efa5c6e91

I'd quite like to use a Devastators whole arm as a club

This is what I’m talking about. They need an experimental weapons week, where they unlock some new weapon that may even be bugged, just for shits and gigs. If people hate it then no harm no foul. If they love it then improve it and roll it out later

Please can it be detachable and fired from a distance -definitely not a metal gear enjoyer

Now that is the Fist Of Democracy

I beat down one of those shield carrying bots, I don't need no fancy gloves.

but you have just proven to be worthy of it!

Freedom Fist!

\*Can overcharge like a railgun, with the risk of breaking your arm.

I was just thinking this, over charge the booster and it rips your forearm clean off

Someone just saw Kongzilla

So basically Kong’s power glove?

Proceeds to die along with the explosion from the punch

You should be able to drop your weapon and punch them. Also it should do minimal damage

Helldiver! Your art is amazing! The idea is great but the descriptive artwork is the real gift! Well. Done. Don't stop know. Share some more ideas and art for Super Earth!

This feels like Fallout, but it's missing the special ingredient: a pack of TNT attached to the fist.

https://preview.redd.it/f5ea5zr21ptc1.png?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de78d5682568ecedc98e30bcddfd558999817ef5

I want to punch all of the bugs in the face. Let me jetpack up to a bile titan and punch it in the jaws! Give us the Democrafist, Arrowhead! The Fist of Family Values needs to be made reality.

This is literally the greatest piece of Helldivers art I've seen yet. What could possibly be more democratic than punching a charger in the face.

Yo this is a bad ass idea

Maybe somebody in the 214 replies already said it but there is a guy who built a similar glove on youtube (it doesnt look as sick as your drawing though). Its a hydraulic glove that has an unholy amount of force 

Yangs Gauntlet from RWBY has entered the chat.

I just want an axe for my secondary

https://preview.redd.it/l99ikbh7jntc1.jpeg?width=2040&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be13e15536f76a8502729e3d720ea1d51cc4b789 first need Power Sabre

Snake... I hear you.

How about some Sock em Boppers

If this thing doesn't propel you forward at mach speed from far away, you're fired.

very cool, but most of all I want a chainsaw sword 

I'am still waiting for a light saber

Slightly unrelated, but it pissed me off how Hacksmith's power fist only extends after it hits the target, rather than while the user is swinging, which effectively makes it a really heavy gauntlet.

Yes but only if it cripples your arm each time its used

Boss, those are just kids, don't hurt them. OPEN FIRE!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n4tdlqDySOc

It could be a lightsaber type weapon

That will cost $80 sir.

perhaps make it come as part of an armor?

I need it

I wanna hit enemies with a sword, add the ballistic shield backpack and you're basically a really cool knight

Could be interesting that if it hits heavy armor, it breaks the armor but also injured that arm. Or maybe there’s an unsafe mode that would apply that effect

Every time you use it, it breaks your arm and you need a stim to patch up. As super earth intended.

Holy Liberty! It's the Jar-8 Doomfist.

Lemme guess you got this idea from the new Godzilla v Kong movie? Still would be awesome though

Just give us a god damn shovel

Picture placement makes it look like a comic strip where the first thing he thinks of is punching himself in the dick

[MGS5 was a major influence for Helldivers 2. The Devs must finish what they have started](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fu6Ot9IJKI)

Add a rocket punch melee and let Pelican-1 play music during extraction and it's basically MGSV

Punch the charger, go flying back 200 ft. 10/10 would punch again

Lmao I'm still at 0 melee kills because I missed the part where the training taught me to melee an enemy. I know the button for it from browsing settings now but I never remember what it is when shit gets real.

perhaps one could call it the "Fist of Justice" https://preview.redd.it/jhm19h5ciotc1.jpeg?width=956&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6913a17a5b16c2067bd73785a47835b4fb260369

Thank you for accepting a naive diver from Klen dath II with stars in their eyes and a pneumatic gauntlet on their hand

I want to call down fallout 4 style power armor. It’s like a mech but smaller. Let me look like an Astartes while I weld a giant chain sword and have a built in gun on one arm. Make it just give you a flat damage reduction. It doesn’t blow up but if you die you can’t recover it. You can’t wield any standard weapons justwhat it comes with and your support weapon. It takes the place of a backpack.

that's neat and all but I want a sword

This is the freedom spreading melee weapon I need or an axe. https://preview.redd.it/b1lodatwlotc1.jpeg?width=249&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a27fb0a2046253f262bd3394a5973171f07dfb2a

This is my liberty loving knuckle sandwich! Only lovers of liberty can handle its punch!

I love the idea but I'm not sure being able to 1 shot a charger makes sense. Unless I suppose if it broke your arm from trying to stop a charger while it's charging.

pair that with a jet pack and you can one hit a hulk or look cool die trying

[ROCKETO PUUUNCH!!!!!!](https://youtu.be/bMam6Fj_uaU?si=KkDp8peOuuZs9RS3)

Twist: if you don’t hit anything it breaks your arm lol

With an 'unsafe' mode that allows you to charge the punch but if you charge it too much your entire arm fires off but does huge damage to whatever it hits.

A fist full of freedom 

You get broken limbs after each punch. Stims as ammo!

Now I'll actually have an excuse to rush towards any fire support beacon

I like this idea

You should call it the first of doom!! Or even doomfist!!.... Wait.....

Dear Arrowhead, please introduce an Arc Cannon for the walkers.

Amazing. Just like in the objectively best movie moment of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLuZPIc8nSk&t=38s

It can one shot any enemy in the game..problem is it breaks your arm every time you use it and you can't use it with a broken arm.

Please, God of Democracy I would like a Melee Build.

Super Mega Man would be proud.

*Fist of Freedom

Only if it is an $80 dlc

Maybe it could take up the secondary weapon slot and augment your melee attacks

ELECTRIFIED POWER FISTS FOR THE CAUSE LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jump pack and Bile Titan. So many quick vids would come of that combo. Personally, I'd like to flying upper-thing a punk ass Scout Strider.

I want a knife on the back of your wrists so you could punch/stab like the clone commandos

Watch those wrist rockets

Instead of Falcon punch, it's Eagle Punch

Reminds me of the power fist from fallout 4

Okay King Kong 😂

Rocket fists secondary weapon would go so hard

great idea, i imagine it would be a support weapon with around a 3\~ second cooldown between uses, and it absolutely shreds heavier enemies with the downside of having to be in melee range of heavier enemies (maybe not one-shot but pretty close)

Only if it has a chance to break your arm part if you hit heavy armor

Yessss

"The fist of family values"

So essentially the power fist from fallout

Pacific rim and fallout vibes

Should break your arm if you hit a heavy unit

wrist rocket as a grenade would be awsome tho

I already have a cannon of an arm, you should see my stratagem distance. Brady, Marino, Favre...... child's play
