Juggernaut Suit Stratagem is Every Man’s ‘One Final Stand for Glory’ Fantasy Come to Life

In the world of Helldivers 2, where the fate of Super Earth hangs in the balance, every soldier dreams of that one epic moment—a final stand against overwhelming odds, a chance to be the hero that turns the tide of battle. And if a recent Reddit post is anything to go by, that fantasy might just become a reality thanks to a potential new Stratagem: the Juggernaut Suit.

The post in question, which has racked up a staggering 12,000 upvotes in just 12 hours on the r/Helldivers subreddit, features a short clip from the latest upload of talented content creator EPG-6 on YouTube. And just one look at this video will inspire any true Super Earth patriot to stand in salute!

The clip shows a certain Helldiver marching across the battlefield in the most menacing manner possible, directly toward an Automaton Tank while tanking every shot that comes their way:

Naturally, the clip has left many players drooling over their keyboards (or controllers), with many speculating about the possibility of a Juggernaut Suit Stratagem being added to the game:

And really, who can blame them? The idea of being able to walk into the fray with impunity, soaking up damage and dishing out punishment in equal measure, is the stuff of every Helldiver’s dreams.

One user even went so far as to suggest a full set of potential perks and drawbacks for the hypothetical suit:

Others drew comparisons to similar power-ups from other games, like the Ballistic Armor (complete with a minigun) from GTA 5. In fact, we recently speculated about the possibility of a minigun making its way to Helldivers 2—could the Juggernaut Suit be the perfect way to introduce it?

Of course, no discussion of unstoppable killing machines would be complete without a reference to Team Fortress 2‘s iconic Heavy:

And it is all courtesy of one ardent fan: EPG-6.

While the idea of a Juggernaut Suit is undeniably exciting, it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate the sheer artistry behind EPG-6’s original video, titled “Lore Accurate General Brasch.” The full 3-minute masterpiece is a showcase of incredible animation, cinematography, and pure, unadulterated patriotism:

For those unfamiliar, General Brasch is Super Earth’s self-proclaimed oldest and most grizzled war hero, and a bit of a running gag in the Helldivers community. He’s the voice players hear on their first day in the game, guiding them through the Helldiver Training test.

EPG-6 is no stranger to creating buzz in the Helldivers community. They’re the same mastermind behind those epic melee finishers that took the internet by storm a while back. If anyone can bring the fantasy of a Juggernaut Stratagem to life, it’s them.

Of course, until Arrowhead officially confirms the existence of a Juggernaut Stratagem, all we can do is dream. But if the response to EPG-6’s gif is any indication, it’s a dream that a lot of Helldivers share.

What do you think? Would a Juggernaut Stratagem be the ultimate game-changer in Helldivers 2? What perks and drawbacks would you give it? Let us know in the comments below!
