Competitive Landscape
The first Helldivers faction, “USCM”, represents a versatile and disciplined force with a balanced arsenal. In contrast, the “Vanguard” faction from Helldivers 2 offers unique units like the Wasp, allowing for stealthy infiltration and quick escapes. Both factions cater to different playstyles, with USCM excelling in frontline combat and Vanguard prioritizing mobility and strategy.
Value Proposition
Helldivers 2’s “Vanguard” faction introduces several advantages over the “USCM” faction from the original game. The “Vanguard” arsenal includes the Devastator rocket launcher, providing devastating firepower, and the Recon Harness, which grants enhanced mobility and recon capabilities. Additionally, the “Vanguard” has access to the Reinforcer exosuit, a powerful unit capable of repairing structures and supporting allies, adding new dimensions to cooperative gameplay.
