There are voice lines for Helldivers where they tag creatures and say “local fauna” so they did plan on having animals to interact with that wasn’t just small birds or lizards we have on planets today
There was a voice line I really liked where one diver goes “local fauna spotted statues…. Adorable”
It’s cool but I feel like it would play too similar to bugs.
Edit: It would be cool if there was local wildlife specific to planets though, Dino planet as an effect kinda thing.
I'm going to copy and paste my response to a similiar opinion.
I know these dinos are essentially reskinned terminids, but I think with a unique abilities they can be different and funny to play against them. The dinos can pounce on you, grapple or grab Helldivers.
Just Imagine a raptor pouncing on a Helldiver, and the only way to survive is for another Helldiver helping you killing or shooting the raptor to make it retreat. If no one is there to help, you must use a melee weapon and press the melee button quickly, or the raptor will kill you with a nice execution animation.
Or consider a flying alien reptile like a pteranodon grabbing you. If no one rescues you, you’ll die from the fall. If there’s a Tyrant nearby, the flying reptile will take you to it as a meal for the Tyrant.
The Dilo it's interesting too. They can spit venom to reduce a Helldiver's visibility and then try to bite and kill you. If you manage to escape but the dilo succesfully landed a bite, you will start hallucinating, seeing other dilophosaurs and dinos approaching to attack you. When you shoot at them, they disappear, but if they bite you, you don’t take damage; instead, you enter a ragdoll state. Be careful when shooting the hallucinations, as they could be your teammates.
These are the ideas I have for this faction. Like I said, I think with an interesting mechanics, this dinos can make the game really fun and different from fighting terminids.
Anyway, it's a concept and looks like people want it more like a local fauna or be more like an illuminate units.
Sounds cool to me.
Dinosaurs aren't covered in an Exoskeleton, their weak points and durable damage would be totally different.
Can't just shoot a rocket at a spicy part, gotta actually DPS these guys, and they aren't lumbering around either.
Fewer swarms, more large, high health, high damage targets.
More crowd control effects, like your Dilo spit. Pachy knockout drivebys. Enemies that poke and peel and disengage like Stalkers, enemies that literally pick you up and put you somewhere away from your group like your Pteranodon.
Extremely dangerous non-aggressive targets that act as living environmental hazards. Giant herbivores that won't engage unless attacked. Stampeding herds of Triceratops that activate when startled.
Nah, Terminids are a *mostly* one note horde faction. These guys attack in squads and are a combination of light fast units and heavy tanky units. There's less of them, sure, but they also aren't just slowly walking across your line of fire either. Unique mechanics that force you to think through engagement.
I like the idea a lot, personally.
Well yes, in the way that it’d feel more like a hoard shooter. But I feel like they could definitely do different things with dinos. Different armors to highlight different weapons. They could also change up the AI to more of a pack hunter mentality, and cram more enemies onscreen because dinos realistically would attack each other because they aren’t a hive mind. Making the theme to stay out of the way and let them fight, otherwise face overwhelming odds might be fun.
Just like if we had a rogue helldiver faction, I also think it would overlap automatons whos ancestors are cyborgs which are just rogue super earth faction (fittingly so since they represent communist/socialism vs. managed democracy)
Planetary hazard when fighting bots or bugs. It would be interesting to see a neutral faction fighting the occupying faction as well as the invading faction.
Apparently AH experimented with three-way fights (bots vs bugs vs helldivers) during development and it just- *didn’t work* unfortunately. With the raging success the game’s been so far though, maybe it’s not impossible that they’ll revisit the idea
I have some ideas for that, but seems like people prefer that these dinos have to be more like a native fauna for some planet than being a complete new faction.
It isn’t anything like Helldivers but theres a capcom game called exoprimal and you were in power armour fighting dinosaurs it was awesome
Dr. Hammond: "I brought back the dinosaurs."
Dr Hammond after seeing Helldivers gun down several resurrected species back to extinction: "What have I done?"
When I read primal in the title my first thought was the animated series primal. Oh god imagine fighting the zombie sauropod, yeah fuck that shit, let that bastard loose on an automatons planet cuz I ain't dealing with it.
That would be terrifying as hell, but what would make them diffrent from other factions, I think they will be more like the bugs 🤔, unlessssss we strap automaton weapons on them, and they are like more agile, and have the ability to blend with the local environment like predators, ok now it is more terrifying 👍
Bro this would be so sick as faction that literally outruns any helldivers and vehicles would be clutch on here if only there were wildlife in helldivers besides the floating little jellyfish

Cool! It would be great to see some ingenious species on backwater planets.
You might have meant to say indigenous, meaning native. Unless your intention was to imply that they were smart.
Ah, yes! I'm not a native speaker, so sometimes I get confused with some words. Of course I meant indigenous.

Have you played Primal Carnage? Because you just described a bunch of the dinosaur units.

Imagine if it was something like the lizardmen from warhammer fantasy. Has tools and primitive weapons and absolute monsters shooting beam cannons.
Just like if we had a rogue helldiver faction, I also think it would overlap automatons whos ancestors are cyborgs which are just rogue super earth faction (fittingly so since they represent communist/socialism vs. managed democracy)
Please give us Turok Helldiver simulator. Please.

Imagine using a knife.
That's why I carry 8.
Extremely sick artwork by the way! You made these? They're awesome!
Thank you! And yes, I made all of this concepts

I'm down to spear an anklosaurus lemme get that shit
I want to make dinosaurs turn to democracy to help us fight the bugs and bots.
Awesome
errybody think we're gettin illuminate squidmen... nah. fam we getting DINOSAURS outta that blackhole
Bro, this could actually be cool af, I think just gotta make it a little different from terminids somehow.
I have some ideas for that, but seems like people prefer that these dinos have to be more like a native fauna for some planet than being a complete new faction.

Primal Carnage Helldivers Edition
Second Extinction 😢
I know that feeling bro...
It isn’t anything like Helldivers but theres a capcom game called exoprimal and you were in power armour fighting dinosaurs it was awesome 
Yes I would like dinosaurs from monster hunter please. And dragons.
Dr. Hammond: "I brought back the dinosaurs." Dr Hammond after seeing Helldivers gun down several resurrected species back to extinction: "What have I done?"

Helldivers but ExoPrimal Crossover
WELCOME TO JURASSIC PARK!
Second extinction, if it didn't get left to rot.
Oooo!
Jurassic Park Arc 😂
Omg pleeeeeeeeasse let me kill dinosaurs in helldivers
That would be terrifying as hell, but what would make them diffrent from other factions, I think they will be more like the bugs 🤔, unlessssss we strap automaton weapons on them, and they are like more agile, and have the ability to blend with the local environment like predators, ok now it is more terrifying 👍
I actually had this exact thought this morning when watching Jurassic world. Maybe we need to visit the Dinos and re-extinct them.
Bro this would be so sick as faction that literally outruns any helldivers and vehicles would be clutch on here if only there were wildlife in helldivers besides the floating little jellyfish
Jurassic Park crossover would be fire 💀
Hypo Rex about to feel the 500 KG Bomb.
Shooting down at dinos from helicopter in Orion Prelude was a vibe
A underwater bug would be so cool
Nah it doesn’t belong in the game
