Helldivers 2 continues to surprise its players with unexpected additions. Recently, some players stumbled upon new stratagems that have yet to be officially released, with the latest discovery being the ability to deploy and operate a recon vehicle.
Thanks to X/Twitter user @Mr_Rebs_, the community got a sneak peek at a squad of Helldivers packed into a vehicle reminiscent of a Warthog, complete with a mounted machine gun turret that players can control and fire. Additionally, those riding in the passenger seats have the option to lean out and engage in combat.

The timing of when players will be able to consistently utilize this vehicle drop as a stratagem remains uncertain. However, this revelation follows a pattern of new equipment unexpectedly appearing in the game, much to the delight of the player base. Recently, another player stumbled upon a mech that they could pilot.
While the sudden appearance of these new stratagems may seem random, it aligns with the overarching design philosophy of Helldivers 2, which includes a Game Master overseeing the dynamics of the battles.
Although there’s been no official confirmation from Arrowhead Game Studios, it’s plausible to speculate that the Game Master might be teasing these new additions before fully integrating them into the game for all players to access.
