‘Ok, so dragon builds are a thing now’: galaxy-brained Helldivers 2 player incinerates a bile titan with a hover pack and a flamethrower
March 26, 2025
The Rise of the Lift-860 Hover Pack
In the ever-evolving landscape of Helldivers 2, a new technological marvel has emerged, promising to redefine aerial combat for its players. Enter the Lift-860 hover pack, a formidable enhancement introduced through the recent Borderline Justice warbond. This upgraded version of the traditional jump pack allows players to hover in mid-air for a brief period, opening up a realm of tactical possibilities.
A recent viral moment on Reddit showcased the hover pack’s potential in a thrilling encounter. In a video titled ‘holy mother of hover pack’, a group of helldivers found themselves in a precarious situation, fleeing from an imposing bile titan. Amid the chaos, one audacious soldier, known as cur1y_n3ctar, broke away from the group. With a swift ascent, cur1y soared between the titan’s massive legs and unleashed a torrent of fiery destruction directly into the creature’s gaping maw.

The community’s reaction was nothing short of exuberant. Comments flooded in, with user Good_Policy3529 exclaiming, “Well, that was extremely metal,” while Nknk noted, “God, when this game is good it’s near unbeatable for organic cinematic moments.” However, it was bja276555 who aptly dubbed this audacious strategy the “dragon build,” a name that perfectly encapsulates the fiery prowess on display.
Since the video’s release, the Helldivers 2 community has enthusiastically embraced the synergy between the flamethrower and the hover pack. While “dragon build” has gained traction, some players have also taken to calling it the “firefly build,” a nod to the infamous pyromaniac supervillain from the Batman universe.
This innovative strategy emerges at a particularly intriguing time, just days before the first anniversary of Malevelon Creek, a battleground famously likened to “robot Vietnam.” Speculation is rife that the game’s automaton faction may launch another assault on the Creek around the anniversary, this time deploying specialized flame units known as the incineration corps. Should this scenario unfold, players may soon witness a spectacular showdown where Helldivers combat fire with their own brand of aerial pyrotechnics.
