How to play Helldivers: Pistols Perk Pack on Mac
Game summary
The Pistols Perk Pack is a collection of unique non standard sidearms. These are normally not issued to Helldivers due to their specialization compared to the more rounded P-2 ‘Peacemaker’.
The Pistols Perk Pack contains:
- P-6 ‘Gunslinger’: A heavy sixshooter revolver. The aptly nicknamed 'Gunslinger' revolver might seem flashy, but packs a proper punch and comes with built in lasersight.
- FLAM-24 ‘Pyro’: A compact flamer with the same power as the unupgraded FLAM-40. It has shorter range and very limited ammunition compared to it’s larger cousin, but is very handy when you’re on the move.
- PLAS-3 ‘Singe’: A plasma pistol based on the experimental technology of the PLAS-1. It fires superheated gas that explodes on contact with its target. Not recommended for point blank range, but a powerful weapon in its own right.
