Any ideas currently for making helldivers feel hard again right now?

I was able to enjoy Superhelldive during the Escalation of Freedom for what it was, a super crushing challenge, that was admittedly marred by some of the games mechanics (looking at you 1 shot strider missles, and

excessive ragdolling) not perfect but achieved what it set out to be and scratch that certain itch of a difficult PVE experience

That's chanllenge is gone now and is likely never to return. The game hasn't scratched it in a long time, and likely won't again, due to the community's constant pushback against it, so im looking for alternatives.

Are there any ideas yall have to help scratch that itch that Superhelldive used to scratch right now?

Such as:

Playstyles

Armor sets

Rolling back to older versions

Loadouts

Mods

Handicaps

Different games

ANYTHING, PLEASE, im desperate.
