Star Wars inspired Speeder bikes

[barramundi man]

Speeder bikes would be light and fast single seat vehicle that was made using technology taken from the illuminate following the battle of super earth, they'd have an autocannon firing tracer rounds at a slow firerate. Due to the way the cannon is mounted, you would need to turn the entire vehicle to aim it, you can also use a single handed weapon by holding down right click, it would be unarmoured, and the driver unprotected, relying on speed to get in and out of fights quickly

what do you guys think

I think Speeder Bikes are cool, but even Battlefront never really figured out a good way to aim the stupid body mounted gun, and Helldivers probably wouldn't do it much better.

I think a dirtbike purely for travel and 1h shooting would be fine, really. Pocket grenade launcher drive bys and ♥♥♥♥, yo.

a dirtbike would be cool, but a speeder bike would be cooler

Arm your personal hellbomb before hopping on the bike and going full speed towards the nearest bile titan.

i don't see a problem with that

just give-em wheels. Makes more sense. Less chance of a lawsuit, and also looks cooler for the eventual suicide charge with a portable hellbomb.

Back to the Future style levitating hoverboards would be a more cost-effective route for traversal solutions.

Hoverbikes are hardly a licensing issue and while it would be funny to see a Helldiver launch themselves into a triple-front-flip-that-then-explodes the moment they hit a singular pebble doing so would render any sort of bike an absolute gimmick pick at best.

Also hoverbikes look way cooler than wheeled bikes.

Yeah, but hoverbikes don't jump. At least not actual speeder bikes. You go up and down a hill, you can't really ramp off the top of it because they stick to the ground. How am I supposed to do a flip over a Factory Strider on a hover bike as my hellbomb backpack explodes? Did you even consider the flips?!

You make a very good point. If bikes are added then deployable ramps should also be added.

Or make the entrenchment tool able to build ramps (and cover)

Nah. Give us a MC with a sidecar. Seems more fitting.

They had this in HD1. You would go so fast, there would be no time to course correct before falling down a hole. and you would always fall down a hole. 10/10

They're going to break faster than a armored car to a Leviathan and drive-by shooting is pretty useless. You need to focus shots on enemies in this game. What would be cool instead is an armored car with a grenade launcher or a TOW, a bit like a mounted relaodable RR on the turret ring.

Yeah, sure, but they'd be really fun to drive around.

[Hard Computer Player]

can you imagine a bike in this game? with how the car already handles? driving it would be a nightmare
