Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has seemingly leaked a fiery future stratagem during a PlayStation Access livestream. We love the sound of an Orbital Napalm Barrage and hope to deploy it against bugs liberally in the future.
Chronicled by GamesRadar+, PlayStation Access hosted a livestream to mark Helldivers 2's big Escalation of Freedom update, and a particularly eagle-eyed viewer was able to snap a picture. There is no archive of the broadcast, so it's kind of an impressive achievement in its own right. You can check it out for yourself below:
Obviously, there's no timeframe or guarantee that we will see this stratagem actually implemented, but it just goes to show how locked in the community the community remains. We sure hope it burns hotter than the sun; it'd want to, what with that 300-second cooldown!
Do you like the sound of an Orbital Napalm Barrage? Would that complement your spicy new pyro build? Let us know in the comments section below.

After they nerfed how fire works, may not be so great. 5 min cooldown too.
My main take from this is that there was a PlayStation Access livestream and I missed it 😔
These leaks are so frequent I am starting to think they are intentional, cool though just a shame they nerfed fire damage!
@Mostik I’m not saying it’s true in this case but “leaks” have definitely become a marketing tactic and therefore often planned.
300 sec cooldown for a bit of napalm? Doesn't sound worth it to me.
@Shepherd_Tallon Apparently it was streamed on the game's page on Steam, rather than their YouTube channel.
"how locked in the community the community remains"
Whoopsie daisy yourself editor!
They saw my spam posts on Reddit lol because it full of threads about the patch and I didn't care about the flamethrower thing. I was more annoyed the PC version didn't get any performance fixes and we haven't got any new orbital and Eagle strikes since launch. I mentioned why not a Orbital Napalm or Airburst Napalm and a Eagle Gas Strike as well just some new variants. Arrowhead go on about using your Strats but some new ones would just be nice
But the 300 seconds that's not even worth it the normal time for the 380/120mm was 280 or 240. They've just nerfed the 120mm down to 180 which is cool has a tighter spread extra volly as well
This game had so much potential but in the end..... The constant nerfs is some of the worst handled stuff I've seen in any live service but especially for PvE.
Actively trying to kill any fun you could have in the game...
