First Person Perspective

[apfelmu2]

Is it possible to play it in pure first person perspective? I personally rly dislike third person in general. Are devs going to implement it?!

The devs would still have to do some work, they are not that large of a team so it's unlikely to see it.

They didn't buy it yet, that's why they're asking.

There's no permanent 1st person, but you can do what Vinn said, but you can also change it to where any aiming at all goes to first person mode without having to push middle mouse. (I think it's called Dynamic Mode, not sure how it works.)

If theres no mouse symbol next to their name, they don't own it.

You can play in first person. But this is a bug. I had it for about 30 seconds and even managed to shoot some beetles

You can bind a button to swap aim modes to first person, but no, there is no exclusively first person option.

Honestly, IMO first person only would hinder more than help. The bit of extra perspective you get in third person has saved my life a number of times. You're already pretty squish. No need to gimp yourself more, eh?

Pretty much this. The original Helldivers was a top-down perspective acting more like a twin shooter, so it's obvious they wanted to keep that same amount of tactical awareness in the next one, yet still wanted to play like a shooter and to be able to actually see in front of you, so a 3rd/OTS view was probably the best choice.

Also, I swear it seems like some guns (that are not sniper rifles) are easier to aim in third person than in 1st, except if you're aiming over a ridge.

In this bug, my camera got stuck in my head, I was jumping/running/shooting in first person. no more than 30 seconds. it was fun :)

I'll buy the game if they add a first person perspective. I have no interest in third person shooters.

Like people said (but were't clear about)
When you hit ADS you go into first person.

When you're not ADS, it's third-person.
You really need the extra FOV, tbh. Otherwise you'd stand no chance.

Honestly, If they Wanted too, they probably COULD. But i don't think they will. After all you can AIM in first person (and sometimes the camera will get stuck in that mode). It wouldn't be too different from what we got now.
