>>484023407>Why is this gun the ultimate shitter magnet?What percentage of players (that run 8s or 9s) would you say use this on bug missions? I want to say at least 2 of the other 3 players in any match are rocking it. Its probably a "shitter magnet" because the overwhelming majority of players always use it.
>>484023407>never resupplies until 100% out of ammoI try not to resupply until I'm on my last mag unless we're moving on, but I also don't use the incel breaker.

Are there any scifi 3rd person shooter games you play that scratch an itch in the same way HD2 does? I was considering Battlefront II since it's on a big sale right now, but I don't know if it's even alive, let alone worth playing. I still love this game but my friends are burned out, so I want to get them into something similar that still feels fresh for their sake.
>>484019484if you mean porn it is probably on a booru, if you mean in game there are three mods on the nexus, pick your poisonhttps://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/92https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/105 (works with both)https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/69>how do i use both?ínstall one mod as normal, extract the other and change (rename) the "patch_0" portion to "patch_1" for all three files, then drag and drop into the same folder
>>484028440>if you mean porn it is probably on a booruWell that's the weird thing, coomdiver. I went to the more popular boorus and nothing showed up, just mostly generic safe art you could find anywhere. Very odd.
>>484028361Helldivers 1I got nothing man I wish I did.
>>484026687I use it on the mission you gotta defend the missile silo. It's good there. That's it.
>>484028361not 3rd person but alien swarm is great
>>484028361How similar does it have to be? EDF fits the bill mostly but it's less sci-fi and more modern times with some cooler tech. It is also third person and you kill far more huge bugs in EDF than helldivers.
I'm starting to wish that the resupply stratagem only contained a single supply box but the stratagem is instead an individual stratagem that everyone gets instead of a shared cooldown. I'm tired of having to scrounge POIs for every single one of my stims and grenades because some chucklefuck called in the supplies in the middle of goddamn nowhere and double dipped on top of that. Why the fuck did the swedes code supply drops so that the boxes aren't at least marked on the map like dropped support gear? At least that way would could see the ditch that they dropped the damn things on.
>>484028361EDF is the only one that gets close, but its so far behind in terms of gamefeel and animation/texture qualityIt does make up for it by being on a ridiculous scale of conflict. Youve probably heard it said but in the newer EDF games the 380mm barrage is equivalent to one of the baby early artilleries in EDF
>>484026216Thanks anonUnfortunately that was likely my last game for now If I'm around here at like 11pm I will post lobby
PLAYING SOME RIGHT NOW
>Light armour + SMG.>Literally never stop moving while shooting.>Have 8+km travelled at the end of the mission.Imagine ADS'ing to shoot. Couldn't be me.
>>484030317It's very odd that this game genre isn't explored more. You have many IPs that could have an entry yet don't. Nothing from Star Wars, 40k (until now, what with SM2 coming soon but its not exactly the same), XCOM, Starcraft, etc.
>don't get a resupply all match>drilling the hole for the nuke>running out of autocannon ammo>retard teammates start dying on their side of the crater since two of the dumbfucks have arcthrowers and their sole plan for killing chargers and titans is to run in circles while blindly spamming the arc at them (they're responsible for 14 teamkills so far>they teamkill each other again with blind arc fire and their position gets overrun>I literally don't have enough ammo left to clean up this mess, so I call in a fresh AC>sidestep a charger and delete its asshole with my last clip>see one of the respawned arcniggers grab my AC>equip my bushwhacker and set to triple barrel modedamn shame
>dominator and peak physique on bugsNot bad. I like being able to stagger enemies rather than just shoot and hope they fall in time.
>>484026687I see it's most useful when you don't wanna go through a whole patrol but they're a problem anyway or if bug breach or bot drop happens, it takes care of one wave at least or damage them enough to take out easily. It's certainly no AP4+ weapon that can take care of big threats but it can take care of big groups that would have exhausted your supplies and time.
>>484031324Thats the issue with AAA gaming. You have a bunch of massive multi million investment studios who who cant provide returns of just a few million over their costs. They expect every game to make its money back and then go far beyond it. You're seeing the culmination of this with so many studios releasing "successful" games like Hi Fi Rush or Spiderman 2 that still end with the studios getting fucked. Bethesda is in fucking dire straits from a single game (Starfield) not performing up to the gassed up internal standards of "this needs to be the next exclusive while on the fanatical par of skyrim".When even huge players are getting fucked in genres they should be killing it in, these niche genres which has barely been explored become far less appetising and impossible to sell to these big studio execs as the next thing. Its not like the 360/PS3 days where the studios were smaller, had less rot within their roles consuming money, and they could try something and see if it sticks without fucking ruining themselves.
>>484031981I still prefer firebreaker but the dominator feels so good on bugs.>blast off the arms of hive guards>full kill a stalker before it even gets its lick off>full kill another stalker before it can combo>brood commanders shredded>every other medium 1hk'd>extremely good against skinned bile titan backsIt sucks versus shriekers, but it's definitely one of my favorites.
>>484031509Kek based.
How high are the chances for the next MO to be another filler MO?
>>484027749Does the grenade launcher have an arming distance?
>>484032458I like Adjudicator for it's flexibility between chaff and med threats but it kills Broods easily by half a clip so I still don't have to shoot around the shield. Dominator packs quite a punch that med enemies are easier but I have to bring Stalwart to compensate for everything else. I really like primaries that have some power that specializes against med enemies and have some support weapon to take care of chaff.
So did they stealth nerf the eruptor again or what? It's taking 3 headshots to kill a green spewer now.
>>484032813yes, which makes it even stranger that the airburst doesn't
>>484032585Pretty high unless the rumors are true that Illuminates are coming mid/late summer but still a few weeks or a month before we see a real MO.
>>484032841BOOBAAnyone wanna do a lobby?
>>484030503>posts time>no indication o timezoneI don't understand how people still do this, on 4chan of all places
>>484032585We're still in for another 35 days of swedish rolling holidays. We probably arent going to see proper MOs or new shit until everyone is back
>>484032585What constitutes "filler" MOs. By some people's metrics we've only had like a half dozen non-filler ones.
>>484033135post it
>>484033376Any MO that directly results in a story event or enemy progression happening or provided unique objectives.We've had under 10 of these I think. Off the tippy top of my head:>Bugs TCS set up>Bugs TCS maintenance (shriekers)>Bugs TCS shutdown>Automatons actions investigated (Gunships)>Automatons driven from the galaxy>Automatons return in force (defense)>Meridia bombing>Nuke Nurseries (unknown result)
>>484030242>marked on the map like dropped support gear?Which is still super stupid. Because why would you want your gear to show up on tracking only after it's been dropped on the ground? Gear and supplies should show up on the mini map regardless of if they're in a pod or not.
>>484033192Central TimeBut it's actually gonna be like midnight/1am
>>484033634You got it.steam://joinlobby/553850/109775245083693273/76561198070044660
>>484033789>We've had under 10 of these I thinkThen its incredibly unlikely, and you'd be an idiot for expecting otherwise at anytime, much less when half the studio is on vacation.
>>484033969Not the person who asked when the next non filler MO is, but I agree we wont be seeing one for a while.They did add the Impaler to the gamefiles as a name in the .400 patch though and there are also fully textured bile chargers so we may get an enemy progression MO soonish (4 weeks)
are the doomers right or nah?
>>484034149>and there are also fully textured bile chargersHaven't those been in there for months?
>>484033376MOs that are just "enemies are trying to take x planets please stop them Helldivers!!" which don't further the story at all and the only reward is 50 medals. It feels like we've done this bug MO a dozen times now.
>>484034328Not fully textured, they were in the code as an entity for a good while though yes
>>484034514I saw ss of them looking pretty much done months ago
>>484034314Right about what? The original doomposting prediction came to pass when HD2 got beaten in certain intervals during the day by fucking DRG.The things to be depressed about right now are:>AH for the life of them cannot release a single patch without something breaking, including things they already fixed>extended period between proper updates with no real benefit to stability (see above point)>extended period between warbonds with no real benefit (next Warbond is identical in layout to the Viper one but will take 6 weeks to release minimum if they hold true to extended times)>AH is working at a snails pace for new live content due to "burn out", summer holidays and panic around breaking the gameAll of the above is just true right now. AH need to prove that they can patch the game without fucking anything up and things can look up from there.
>>484034149>bile chargersOh joy
>player base down to <10% of launch numbers Helldiver bros...
>>484036128Your constant doom posting every single thread makes you no brother of mine.
>>484032585We're not getting illuminate until we have unlocked anti-tank mines.
The Adjudicator still sucks ass. Too much recoil and too little ammunition.
why host lobbbies and post a link if you only have time for one match
>>484038030We did two missions the first was an eradicate, remember?But yeah, the fact you didn't remember is another point I cite when stating eradicate missions are uninspired and stupid.
you can aim your EAT for around one second when you jump and i'm going to replace orbital railcannon with EATs now
i liek the part wen we drop nd music go WA WA WA WAAAAAA :D
>>484038326That is one of the big points that sold me on the game, but the in-game mission music is kinda dull and there's only one track for each faction I think. The descending four notes as the hellpods descend is awesome, but at this point I just listen to my own music when I play.
>>484035147Not only are they taking more time to do less, they're sitting on a good amount of interesting content that's already in the game files that they refuse to release because they would genuinely rather go out of business than ever see the players having fun
>>484028991>>484019484@yard2nd on twitter. Give him a follow and tell him to draw more bugrape and NTRdivers while you're there.

If I had managed to land the headshot I think it would have saved you. rnyw0
>>484037830Take it with engineer perk, take a knee behind some cover, and just pull down on your mouse. It's manageable if you account for the recoil and aren't trying to use it like the Liberator.
>>484038956I thought I could out run that big sissy. Boy was I wrong.
I have a suggestion for a new cosmetic addition to the game.
>>484023407So what is the bug primary to use faggot?
>>484039892Mech cape! Mech cape!!!
>>484038916Thanks anon for the sauce. Once I saw the uncropped pictures, however, I have decided that I'm actually good, no need to see more. He's ok at drawing faces (for porn at least), but then everything else is, uh... not the best.
>>484039892*happy mech noises*
>>484039892Now we're diving
>>484039547A lot of setup for a gun with 30 rounds.
>>484040150Damn, sorry to hear that, anon.>>484039892On the topic of options for mechs, do you reckon they'll ever let guard dogs work while you're inside the mech? Seems like a perfect sort of synergy - you hit medium and heavy targets and objectives while the drone keeps the chaff off your back.
>>484041143It's 30 rounds of medium pen without an MG taking up a strat slot.
>>484041185that would only happen if their resting height can clear the mech and that would reduce the amount of friendly fire incidents from the drones so no
>>484041324Sorry, I've been too spoiled by the tendie to go back.
>>484040785I bet the Illuminates did this...!
>>484041430the ghost of divers past is doing it and making automaton ghost towns featuring zombie hulks
>>484041386You and me both, anon.
It's moments like these that make me remember how the Eruptor used to feel. So close to greatness again.
>>484041619>making automaton ghost towns featuring zombie hulkshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHxyZaZlaOs>Zombie goasts.... leave this place!
>>484041746Stun grenades?
>>484042313I just shoot chargers in the butt with an MG now. MG + peak physique is peak fun.
>>484041185>>484041329the drone can't even aim low enough to hit anything within like 20 meters of the mech if it were flying high enough to not hit the mech itself
>>484042710>hit the mech itselfYeah that's probably why they disabled it. Not because it would be too good, but because it would just instantly nuke your paper mech.

There is no reason not to just teamkill back in the game. I will now be kicking at pelican extract before we leave to fuck with these trash 3rd worlders.
>>484052074The game is designed by people who have never played an online game before and have no idea how obese 4trans players act.
>>484050670It's not very expensive, don't feel too bad for paypigging. At least you're not a darktide player gobbling up their fucking reskinned slop for twenty fucking dollars a "set" every two weeks. And they genuinely gloat about it and post their drip in the general
>>484053484Yeah, it's fairly cheap, what's 1000 SC, 10 bucks? That's like 3 armor setsIt's shame my country's coin is horribly devalued, but even then, it's not a whole lot of money
>>484032813It has an arming timer rather than distance(based on revolutions) which is how real 40mm works strangely enough. In game if you shoot it into a wall it will just stop, hit the ground, and then explode.
It sure would be hoohoo haha funny if Joel made it so Hellmire and Estanu also got attacked again, so those planets all ended up right back at square one from the previous two MOs where they all got liberated, and then the next week long MO made players liberate them all again and all the current planets get attacked/lost to bugs again and the endless autism cycle repeats.

What's in the goy store today? I can't look for a while
fun facts:>the 120mm orbital barrage shells are 84mm>the 380mm barrage shells are 406mm>the 500kg bomb weighs 50g>the 12.5x100mm ammunition (used in the mg206 and amr) weighs more than the 500kg bomb
>>484060440>84mmSo they just use the RR rocket with extra splash?
>>484059859Light Gunner and Dreadnought
>>484060903Thanks
>>484060693actually the recoilless is 85mm and a completely different ammunition typeit does over twice the direct damage of the 120mm, however the damage radius is smaller and has a much greater damage drop off and about half the aoe damage

I think even the game is beginning to realize how ass teamloading as a mechanic is, what with bile titan damage ignorance and the obfuscation of the third personal reticle and how fucking ASS the first person sight for the recoilless rifle is.Just look, I wasn't even killed by anything after I died.
>>484063627>do you have any games on your terminal?
>>484026687It can kill bot fabricators if you shoot the side dead-center, unless AH broke/"fixed" that in the last patch cycle.
I know this one looks bad but I didn't get any good clips of the recovery where H2 managed to extract solo after this anyways since the rest of us had the reinforce bug where we couldn't spawn back in. The whole saga would be too long to put in a webm anyways.
>>484063534>mom says its MY turn!
>>484026687It's low key good on bot but people don't understand its value and don't test it enough on bot to grasp it People expect it to be good on bugs but suck on bots but it's the completely opposite. Just don't take it to gunship patrol modifier.

>>484026687blowing up your teamblowing up (you)eradicate bots missions
>>484026687The problem with it is that it's a support weapon that's geared towards destroying large numbers of chaff enemies. AH is absolutely terrified of giving us primary weapons that are really good at killing masses of heavy and to a lesser extent medium enemies. So it's hard to run anything that synergizes with it. I guess it can be useful if you have trusted teammates doing the heavy lifting against the heavier targets.
If a booster is ever released that guarantees all stratagem balls stick to whatever they hit instead of bounce I will only ever be using that booster.

Helldivers has really reached a slump huh. Where are the vehicles and shit? Where are the illuminate? We have been capped on samples for like 3 months now. The game still has terrible balance and most guns are shit. They are taking longer to release patches but the game still needs help.
>>484065308i like to use it with the adjudicator on bugsthe launcher is great for preemptively clearing patrols (especially if they have spewers) and swatting breachesthe rifle lets me deal with any stragglers, and you can use the redeemer if you're worried about huntersblitzer or plasma punisher might also be a good choicebut admittedly it's not as good if you're not in a full team, because reloading is a huge issueit's hard to find the time to reload it unless you have other divers keeping aggro on the swarms of bugs, but you're a huge help to them as long as you know how to use it right >>484065707that means you missed inspectioni'm going to have to report you to my democracy officer for treasonous behavior
>>484026687pretty amazing with a team reload assuming you have at least 30m between yourself and the nearest enemyinb4 >team reloadI pull them off with my friends shit is fun for the RR and ABRL.

>>484064489>>484026687To clarify further, to sum it up>It clears FAB base very quickly due to the generous angle of shot you can take>It actually clear medium dev okay. It doesn't one shot them all the time but it often put them very weaknened state. It often do one shot heavy dev (due to their lower hp) which are usually the most dangerous dev. The big value is that you can get big AOE to severely soften up clump up bots to lower them from the "critical mass" so you can push forward even at long range with a fast peak, which limit you being exposed to damage >The recent buff to emplacement HMG and orbital precision strike compliment it extremely well, indirectly raising its viability when taking into a bot mission without gunship patrolImo, airburst rocket along with HMG emplacement are the two underrated bot strat. Is it a top tier support for bot??? No. It is above average for bot though and I would straight up take it over many other support weapons for bots and do very well on diff 9You want to rubPlasma punisher (rely on damage to total hp so it compliment very well with airburst)Verdict or senatorStun grenadeStratagem:Airburst launcher, eagle airstrike, orbital precision strike, HMG emplacementI think stealth armor is the best with this build but you can run engineer if you want more stun grenade

>>484068329It kills gunships, hulks, tanks and strider fabricators decently fast, doesn't take a backpack slot, has infinite ammo and absurd range.Everything else takes a while to kill.It's a decent weapon, but not amazing unless you are constantly fighting gunships.
>>484066720No, it's just because the game has always been piss easy, and whoever pretends otherwise is either mentally challenged or a game dev.
Can RR/EAT one-shot tanks in the heat sink? How do they do against AT-ATs? Just wanna try something else than the AC/AMR/HMG for once.
>>484069459>Can RR/EAT one-shot tanks in the heat sink? >How do they do against AT-ATs?No, and Poorly.
>>484069459maximum shots to kill a turret is 21 shot if you hit the venti don't know why that anon is lying to youno clue how good it is on the atats though, i still have no idea how you're supposed to kill them except by just spamming strikes on them
i miss the creek
HAHAHAHA
>>484070095the weak spot is the belly. As for the RR/EAT performance there I have no clue either
>>484070413what zero bugfixes and almost no new content does to a motherfucker
>>484070095I've always needed 2 rockets to the vent or 1 rocket and 2 scorcher shots.
another victory for the White side of history
>>484070095the turret has 750 HP, a single EAT/queso/RR shot does 650 + 150, but the 150 gets cut to 75 because it has 3 pen, which matches the tank's armor. the maximum you can do with an AT shot is 725, which leaves you 25 damage short of killing a tankalso factory striders die fast to pen 4 to the belly, takes five direct AC shots (angle is important, if you're not as direct it'll take 7 or more). the glowing light on the face also dies to pen 4 but i usually shoot that with the HMG emplacement, AC is faster if you get underneath it, and either strategy requires knocking off the chin guns first. it takes like four AT shots to the head to kill one, you have to crack the armor first (1000 HP), then the part of the head that can actually take fatal damage has 750 HP
>>484070413Almost there!
>>484070413Good. Love the game but FUCK AH. Literal trash devs.
>>484070413swedes will have to take another 2 month break to recover from this

>>484026687>anti chaff explosive support>takes a backpack slot>fucking insanely long reload>very large minimum safe distance for use>kills chaff and medium enemies pretty good>doesn’t phase heavies in the slightest >1 shot per loadThe MGs, GL, and multiple strikes deal with chaff far better than this piece of shit.It has no actual niche it excels at. Even the idea of shooting it between a Titan or Strider legs seems like it would wreck them but it barely tickles them. It would require a much faster reload at the bare minimum to even be worth taking and even then it would still be wildly outclassed as a burst horde deleter
>>484070413>alienate the devs>tranis take the opportunity>see dev? those chuds dont like you, just give us the power and we will get rid of them>now discord is in shambles>game will never be fixed>the dream is over
>>484072591if they made it reload like your diver actually had shit going on instead of treating it like it'll go off at any second, it'd be somewhat more usable.
smelldivers
>>484072591It's better than MGs (except HMG), at least for bots. I would say it's better than GL as well for bots and all AT support for bot.Multiple strikes are different tool and function on cool down. Beside, strikes are only go as far as you can throw and you can chuck airburst rocket much further
>>484067517gg boys
>>484067517nice videogaming
The MG really needs a bigger mag size, right now there's almost no reason to use it over the HMG
>>484066778enemies will attack hellpods as they are entities. you can eve get kill streak chains off blowing up support gear hellpods
>>484073180HMG is overkill against bugsMG is just right.Stalwart is also ok.
>>484064489>>484066738Looks like a psyop to get me to use it in bots
I hate how the average drooling retard doesn't understand how to use turrets. They always place them right up their own asses as if it was a TF2 sentry and it ends up being a massive fucking hazard that usually gets people fucking killed. Instead of tossing them well away from the team into a position where they setup a crossfire with the team.
>>484073504or just terrain blocking them so they don't spin around and sweep the team
>>484073504I hate how the average retard getting TK'd by sentries doesn't understand he can just kill the sentries his teammates shit out if they are a TKhazard
yeah i dive
>>484073504>as if it was a TF2 sentryIt's not just this, they don't take a second to consider their teammates, it's myopic selfishness AND retardation. Died to a minigun sentry last night because of this shit
>>484073798i had someone throw a gatling sentry behind my HMG emplacement once. true brain death in that one
>>484073786My blue strats always comically bounce off 50 meters away when i do that
>>484073459Try it a few runs. See if you can fire into middle of a bot column and see if you like the result. I can say with confidence that it is at least better on bot than bug
>>484073752>tk the gatling sentry teammate throws on my ass>he whines for 2 minutes>does the same thing again>tk it again>he whines for 2 minutes>he does it again>repeatliterally just learn to throw it, you fucking faggotnobody thinks you're impressive just because you don't know arcs or positioning or anything about team playgo back to solo, filthy hostnigger
>>484069459>>484069757>>How do they do against AT-ATs?>Poorly.The armour 4 head of the factory strider only has 750 HP, which makes it a two-shot for EAT/RR/quasar. shoot the green area, or aim for the 'eye'
>>484073907the secret is to aim for the top of the enemy, it's relatively consistent with chargers if you can land it towards the center of their spine
>checking out the Japanese voices on YT>get re-recommended this from from my historyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePypW6n1egQThe algo demands a cheesy anime opening with J rap for helldivers
>>484073929>he whines for 2(0) minutes"Learn to place sentries properly">muteI'm the higher authority of this game.I know and understand everything better than everyone.If they cry and shit themselves because I'm intellectually superior to them, that's their issue.If you can't keep up with this mindset, you deserve to be cucked.
>>484073798>teammate uses a mortar sentry on bugscomplete waste of a strat. I'm just going to vaporize it the moment that it lands every time.>arc tower smack dab in the middle of everything on bug eradicate missiongoing to blow that up too.
>>484073907From my own experience it's a lot easier if you can get some elevation over the enemy. It doesn't need to be that much either, just a bit higher.
>>484074135good postgood mentalitygood anonyou're alright
what the FUCK is the deal with teams starting to think it's okay to not bring literally any AT.I wish the railgun wasn't such spicy dogshit against bugs so it was at least another viable alternative
>>484074215>arc tower smack dab in the middle of everything on bug eradicate missionFrom the other side: My favoprite is when I take the time to run off to the side and climb a rock or something to place my tesla and not 10 seconds later someone will just willfully walk up to it in plain sight, get predictably killed while I'm warning them via mic and pings, and then proceed to whinge incessantly and TK me while acting like a victim.Shitters to go around, doesn't matter what they do or do not bring.
>>484073504>throw sentry 10km away>charger conveniently spawns on it
>>484074687Bugs got too easy. Bile titan spawn is lowered and it's the only true hard AT gate keep and 500 kg + the buffed orbital precision can destroy them well enough.
>>484074687something something triple its durable damage so it's actually useful against durable targets
>>484074687>>484074878Arc thrower can easily kill chargers if you know what you are doing and even behe with a little bit of patience. Its also useful for finishing wounded BTs that somehow survived the 500kg/AT volley fire.
>>484074810At this point I just pretend every bugnigger is a dsp-tier player running on automatic mode who just doesn't understand anything happening in the game that isn't the meta. Every single fucking time I throw a tesla somewhere, there's going to be one retard running to it and get zapped by it. Sometimes they do it twice on the same fucking turret.
>>484075132>have to be within 35 meters>needs at least like 13 shots>due to the way arcs work off of huge targets you become a massive TK risk for teammates halfway across the mapi would prefer if you didn't
>>484075132nice cope
>>484075215arcniggers think that you should wear the arc damage reduction armor to offset their inability to check for FF risk.
>join a game that just started>somebody cluster bombs me within the first minute>calls reinforcement and says sorry>literally cluster bombs me the second I get out of the drop pod>leave>join new game>drop in>get cluster bombedDELETE THIS FUCKING STRATAGEM RIGHT NOW
>>484074687>He hasn't learned to tame bile titans instead of killing them
>>484075132also, as an EAT junkie i tend to grab ATs in the field with relative frequency, and while they can kill chargers in like seven shots, it's still really fucking slow, especially if there's two or more of them, or a behemoth. it's just really inefficient at anything bigger than a hive commander, and still kinda risky against spewers.>>484075497>a split second before one of the legs moved fuckily and made his body explode into pieces
>>484075209>Sometimes they do it twice on the same fucking turret.I wish I could say this is a rare occurence
>>484074878Or they could do the better solution which is to lower the durability on certain parts which will effect more than just the railgun. They use durability to justify large volume or non-critical parts taking less damage from small arms fire that logically wouldn't do much to those parts, but then they retardedly made small volume and highly critical parts like heads and engines extremely or fully durable. they need to actually stick to the intent behind part durability.
Make sure you thank the devs, and thank Sony for the privilege of playing such a finely crafted experience.
>>484069459>>484069757>>484070095>>484070416>>484072000I bring proof 2 AT shots to the eye will kill a factory strider
>>484075726Humiliation ritual time?
>>484075665either one would work, a max charge railgun being able to three shot BT heads doesn't sound bad to me given the fucking thing explodes if you hold it a little too long and it only has 20 fucking shots.>>484075845good to know, rarely relevant for me though, i either never have the angle or don't have an AT weapon.
>>484075845neato
>>484075726
>>484019673...are cut off
>>484075845hmg emplacement also kills it really quick if you shoot the eye as well, works well on defense maps
>>484074687>I wish the railgun wasn't such spicy dogshit against bugsIt's honestly not as bad as people make it out to be, it's gotten a lot of buffs and the bile titan head durability nerf helped. 1 shots brood commanders and bile spewers on safe mode2 shots at 80% to 85% strip regular charger leg armour, or a behemoths rear leg armour, weaken a bile titan so that a single RR/EAT/quasar shot to the head will kill it, or finish off one already wounded in the same manner3 shots at 80% to 85% to strip behemoth front leg armour or outright kill regular chargers in the head7 to 8 85% to 90% charge shots to the head will outright kill a bile titan if you've got nothing else
>>484075215>>have to be within 35 meters>>needs at least like 13 shotsThis is true. Which is why I said if you have patience. It is certainly not a quick kill. Even if they get hung up on a pebble and let you just freely shoot at them it still is gonna take a sec>due to the way arcs work off of huge targets you become a massive TK risk for teammates halfway across the mapI have never seen this despite frequently taking the arc thrower. This sounds like so Alexus tier bullshit. THe only wonkiness I ever see is chaining into/off a BT which I think is due to the huge z-axis shift.And before we default to there: I frequently finish missions with 0 accidentials (minus retards running into my tesla), so please, don't even start in on that.>>484075321Nice discussion>>484075359I've never once suggested that and I wish they'd change the armor passive completely as its dogshit as is, outside of extreme meme group builds>>484075557>and while they can kill chargers in like seven shotsIts 6.>it's still really fucking slowYou can kill them before they can make a single pass if you get the jump on them or use stun nades; plus, any bugs behind them for free. Do it in 2 passes if they get the jump on you. >especially if there's two or more of themI can literally kill large numbers of chargers faster than an EAT user and do it safer to boot.>it's just really inefficient at anything bigger than a hive commanderI disagree. If anything its arguably the most efficient. Maybe you meant to use a different word?>and still kinda risky against spewers.Could not be more wrong.For someone professing some degree of AT expertise, you sure do have a bunch of suspect opinions.
>>484075665thisthe railgun's numbers are fine and make perfect sense but a couple of body parts have nonsensically high durability which has the effect of fucking over the railgun and a couple of other 3 and 4 pen weapons over on the botfronttank treads, behemoth heads, bt heads and gunship thrusters. AH please.if any of you are in their gay discord. please ask them to do this>>484075913I was thinking 3-5 but yeah
>>484076213I agree, but also:An uncancelable charged shot that can instakill you is a huge drawback on top of the extremely limited ammo and dogshit scope. There is a reason you hardly ever see it on either faction.
This game is so tiring now, I can only do one mission before needing to take a 30 minute break after. So basically, I'm only playing 2-3 missions a day now. And forget about doing whole operations.
>>484076568If they just adjusted the gunship thrusters that's all it would need with the recent patrol addition to at least be a decent pick on bots at least.>behemoth headsI'm the one currently talking up/defending the arc thrower and I'd hardly have an issue if they changed this too. Would make them far more comfortable/enjoyable to deal with.
>>484077009Yea, but the arc thrower at least strong place on bug.Railgun is kinda still a bit underwhelming even if they can kill gunship imo.
>>484075845cool but>chud helmet
>>484077257>Railgun is kinda still a bit underwhelming even if they can kill gunship imoExcellent on devs (all types), hulks, and gunshipsThat's a pretty good niche for a support weapon. That leaves tanks, fac striders, and buildings for your other 3 strats. Its not an amazing place I will grant *cough*AC*cough*, but its enough to actually get brought and be fun. Maybe lower dur on fac striders guns too and then you can at least help on those (same way arc, flamer, and MGs can help with BTs)
>>484077783>PASGT's are chud now
i swear that they've replaced every single fucking super credit drop with rare samples.
>>484079295it really do feel that way
>>484073921Alright used it a couple times on D7 bots and it was funNo way i'm taking it when there's gunships though
>>484075726>omg thank you thank you shitpost>stays up with no intervention>lengthy critique on the game's current state>instantly taken down by mods>post to highlight this mod abuse gets locked after the mods get downvotedThis is what happens when the subreddit is ran by people with ties to the company
>>484080316Yea, don't take it to gunship patrol modifier. Gunship from fabricator can be okay because you can just drop HMG emplacement to clear the fabricator.
>>484080395You gotta go back
>>484080395Yeah, even for Reddit that's bad. Looks like they even removed the designated stickied thread for people to complain, too. So all posts that aren't glowing, dick sucking fests (like that one thanking the devs) or cringe faggot reddit memes are no longer allowed. Honestly surprised it took that long for them to go full 1984 power trip modding.
>>484080712Had a massive hard on everytime i saw patrols with raiders and devs so i can say it was good
>>484080771sorry anon HD2 is a game where you cant pretend you dont browse other social media because every single dev update gets posted on trooncord or reddit and nowhere else

>>484079295Nah they're just not that common so you can run a streak of multiple games without any.I found a bunker with triple SC piles the last time I played.What AH should do is give the 10 SC piles a chance to become 20 SC piles on higher difficulties to make up for some of those getting replaced with rare samples.
>>484081393Sorry chud, but we're bringing Reddit here with us and you're just gonna have to deal with it. Sorry not sorry. But here's a Doro to make you feel better.
>it's another hot acid shithole where you can't see anything past 10mOh boy time to play something else.
>>484081831When did they nerf the super credit spawns? I feel like I regularly go 3+ games now without seeing a single one, even with grabbing just about every poi.
>>484081836
>>484077009introducing the behemoth as a common enemy and buffing its head durability was another indirect nerf to the arc thrower as big as removing the hulk stun was. arc thrower stocks went down pretty hard on high difficulty bugs. I always ran EATs in tandem with it for bile titans and objectives but it's still unfortunate behemoths existing necessitates doubling up on support strats even more.at this point either fix the durability or give the arc throewr a touch of love with either its old range back (which was nerfed because of the ps5 host bug making it look like it could, in the words of alexus "slap bile titans half way across the map"), its old rate of fire, or just reduce the fucking durability on parts already.
>>484081836anime is gay
>evac has a great view of the surrounding map>except one little quadrant where line of sight is cluttered as shit and stuff will round the corner extremely nearby>YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO SPAWN THE ENEMIES FROMNever gets old.
>>484082175I disagree.I think reduced bile titan spawn, increases non-heavy spawn, buff in precision orbital kinda make arc thrower better than before (plus buff to eruptor which is what I like to use arc with).Bile titan disrupt arc thrower play much more than behemoth/charger. Since bile titan spawn less, I don't mind burning a precision orbital and a 500kg on behemoth. You can easily dodge charger/behemoth easily and keep doing arc thrower thing, or just stun them with stun grenade and they also get stuck a lot. Bile titan was much more annoying as they are tighter and persistent in pursuit, can't be stun, and force you to stop arcing and have to deal with them.
>>484082947I fucking hate it when the evac site is that pit in the ground surrounded by walls. Those things are deliberately designed to be annoying to defend unless you go right to the edge of the evac area.

Just found out today that there's a variable in the game called "spread_info" that governs not only the choke for shotguns but also the amount of spread -- independent of recoil -- for every weapon in the game, measured in MoA>mfw the Slugger has a spread of 6, which is as good as the assault rifles and machine gunsso they had a literal "gun accuracy" slider that they could have messed with in order to nerf the Slugger and make it unviable as a DMR?? I had been theorycrafting changes to gravity and drag, but they had a slider like this all along.does that mean that their rationale was a lie, or does it mean that they're stupid? or does it mean that they forgot about the spread variables???
>shittons of enemies absolutely everywhere coming from seemingly nowhere>chargers and behemoths in multiples with every pack>bile titans too>bug breaches just spawning in the middle of nowhere where there's zero (0) enemies aroundI have never seen anything like that before. Is this the power of ching chong chink names?
>remaining time gives you bonus xp, rewarding being fast>sticking around after doing the main objective quintuples enemy spawns, punishing you for being slow>killing ridiculous amounts of enemies doesnt give you any bonus xp, so you're just punished and nothing elsethis is such a shitty and unrewarding system, I hate itnobody genuinely has fun chucking lasers and stratagems at objectives with servo and running away but that's how the game is clearly meant to be played

>>484095631Hit detection is fucked. In the same way you can blow open the side of a charger and all your shots will bounce off the clearly exposed orange flesh but if you do the same to the leg it works perfectly fine.Just clearly broken dumb shit
>>484095631those parts are still av6 lol. it looks like they should have lower armor but they don't. Basically, my advice is just think of the legs as shields for the Bile Titan that you're trying to shoot around. they take much less damage than the body>>484095761the Charger situation isn't a problem with hit detection. it's a problem with the visuals not matching the mechanics.when you blow open the side of a charger, the exposed flesh is AV4. (for some fucking reason.) you can shoot it with small arms and visually see it churning up green gore, but you'll get a ricochet/deflection hit marker (despite no visible ricochet) and you'll deal zero damage. if you magdump an hmg into it though that will kill.I assume they meant to make it AV0 and just messed up... and then forgot about it
"incompetent swedes" should really be a user-defined tag
>>484096372We'll always have Darktide getting the Early Access tag from the entire community tagging it as such
>>484094237>star wars redditor calling anyone a tranny
>>484096135>strip the armor, visibly exposing the insides of the titan>lolnope, that didn't reduce the armor value, hope you brought more heavy AT weaponsI like to play bugs every once in a while, but overall bots are just too much better designed and have less stupid bullshit like this. Despite the ragdolling from rocket devs and gunships and sniper heavy devs.That kinda shit should be easy to fix, too. Should be just changing the value of a single variable in the enemy definitions.
>>484090761Don't forget your queso cannon or your incendiary baker.
>>484097024>Should be just changing the value of a single variable in the enemy definitions."We changed things as requested by players. However, there is now an issue where hunters are now somehow invincible."
>>484097024Both bugs and bots have plenty of bullshit. You just end up building a tolerance towards it over time which makes your faction look ok and the other faction into unbelievable bullshit.If the entire playerbase was forced into bots within 10 missions at most everyone would be aware of how to play properly against them.Same for any outlier botdivers if they were forced against bugs for more than a couple missions
Anon tell me your most heroic and stupid deaths.For me it's Most Heroic:After multiple failed attempts, I realized the only way those gunship factories are gonna go boom is someone stays behind to defend the hellbomb.Most stupid:Decided to test if you can trigger those unexploded hellbombs by punching them.

Killing brood commanders with the punisher is fun. Just walk towards them while pumping 'em full of lead. And the death charge is a nonissue with the stagger, too.
any lobbies?
>>484105048fuck off, I'm only logging in for daylies
Very few support weapons and backpacks are actually worth the stratagem slot that could be used for powerful strikes and sentries
>>484049878Every penny countsSave everywhere you canThose savings can be invested or used as capital to fund a side gigEven if it’s a hundred or two per month, it will add up and you can get something rolling.Round out your skillset and network with people higher up in the “working ladder” so that they may take interest in hiring or recommending you for a better job. I wageslaved for 9 years at a garbage deadend call center job before a connection paid off and scored me a good paying job with benefits.Stay strong fren, if you give up that makes you a bitch, and mama didn’t raise no bitch
>>484102460will botdivers ever quit bitchin
>>484049878Keep a track of your expenditure. Even if it feels autistic, if you feel like you never have any money then track all your spending in an excel. Down to the last penny.You'll figure out really quickly whats keeping you poorer than poor (its usually yourself).Job wise never feel settled, use some of your free time to enroll in marketable skills courses, plenty of them are free, keep applying for better roles in better places even if you feel settled at your job unless its a well paid gig you wouldnt want to leave.Thats more for improving your quality of life bit by bit. The only ways to escape wage slavery forever are to make very lucky investments or to start a successful business and be able to retire in a decade
>niggers defending acamar instead of taking crimsicaAhhhhhhhh
>>484102460>(You) did this.
>>484103582Ah man, why do they do these personal orders in a different faction from the MO
>>484105959If you play with your pals you can also quite comfortably go twos up on the support weapons so the other two are full of nukes.

Is there a way to calculate a minimum squad impact you have to do daily of it to make a difference or are there simply too many variables during a day for it to be possible?
>>484102460>LE BUGCHADS CAN'T STOP WINNING>proceeds to lose
>>484107960you only had to let them cook
>>484109359The best you can do is follow the blob, if it exists, since the decay rate is usually set such that anything less than like 10k players (with the current count) simply won't push the progress bar at all. Check out the companion app in the OP.
>>484107690That’s what I’ve been doing is telling people on the mission prep screen to give me their supp wep when it’s off CD so I can take 4 good Strats Problem is it makes things like the MG even less viable because then you’d really be strapped for AT
>>484107960instead of extracting you now tip
>>484109359Too many variables, plus those variables cam change if Arrowhead does any tweaking on the back end.
How do you know someone is a botdiver?He’ll tell you.
i would say we need an in game way to help direct player efforts in an attempt to herd 12 IQ divers but nobody would actually use it. it annoys my mildly autistic MO chasing self that we keep struggling when if everyone played smart we could blow them out of the watercaptcha: maad
>>484110247and what do you imagine we’ll get if we complete every MO without fail? a competent dev team?get real
>>484109850Not even upset. I'm always maxed out on requisition creds.
>>484110247>blaming the sheep instead of the shepherdIf AH wanted to they could easily add multiple incentives and map UI to push players towards specific MO planets but they dont.
I've never seen a game start so strong and have so much going for it, then fumble the ball so hard. Have you? I'm struggling to understand how a group could be so incompetent or obstinate about their own "vision" that this could have even happened like this.
>>484110617i dont expect anything. i just want to complete them>>484110716yeah i know. i feel like the way its designed is intentional so that the real opposition is other players and not the 'game master'. all they need to do is toss in one little invasion and suddenly 10k-20k players sift focus entirely
>>484061832>85mmFucking why, the actual carl g is 84mm, it's even a swedish launcher I HATE SWIGGERS
>>484063534>bro pls I can't see the screen bro please
>>484110247>>484110716Current system would work fine with small but "dedicated" community. But there are too many braindead casuals still playing this game so they drag liberation rates down globally. And far too many bug-only players. And before you call me a "botfag", i play both actually.
anyone got the pic of the funny cat holding the other cat
>>484111283Many such cases. Vermintide, Darktide, Destiny 1 and 2, New World, Guild Wars 2, Killing Floor 2... I'm sure anons will post more. It's usually the rule, not the exception. Most great games are made by accident and now that devs are expected to update and add to their games, they can go back and fuck it all up at their leisure.
MG-43 with engineer medium armor is fun.Maybe next time I'll do the gigachad loadout of MG-43, orbital precision, liberator, and medium padded armor.
Why are half the enemies silent?
>>484112484apex predators
>>484112115No, HD2 started out with near-universal praise and energy behind it, more so than I've ever seen. It could have been used to glaze over hiccups here and there, but they really had to go hard on fucking it with bad updates and the PSN debacle.
>>484112115I just bought all the ‘tide games + DLCare you saying i fucked up
>>484112484Terrible enemy sound design, not sure why they dropped the ball so hard on this. Like every other coop shooter puts big emphasis on hearing dangerous enemies from afar. Meanwhile in this game you have bugs the size of a city block and they make practically no sound walking around, or bots with huge chainsaws rushing you while staying almost silent.
>>484093475>>484083868Oh I thought it was Tanks. Well, got to visit crumbling Vandalon IV again either way
>>484112774Nah, it's fun for a good number of hoursBut at some point you're gonna feel like the devs are purposely sabotaging their own game
I wish unexploded hellbombs had a meatier effect that threw shittons of dirt and rock and whatnot into the sky that would rain down everywhere. Also taking a fat chunk out of the rock formations they're sometimes wedged in. They're flashy and all but they don't feel weighty, even the orbital barrages do a better job of feeling like they're tearing up the ground beneath them.
>>484112639>It could have been used to glaze over hiccups here and thereIt was to a significant degree. The game had so many issues early on and pretty much all of them got ignored because people were having too much fun.The public opinion almost universally is: "Game is fun, theres almost no microtransactions, you can farm the credits, its a small studio not expecting even 10% of these players lets give them a break".That break lasted all the way up to the Eruptor nerf patch where they left the game in a fucked state for over a month and the game lost over 50% of its players.But the more important part is that the playerbase attitude took a 180. You went from "AH is great give them time" to everyone fucking despising the "cooking" analogies they couldnt stop doing, and community outreach being unbelievably bad.
>>484115583It's the chinks fault
>>484114904I wish Hellbombs couldn't be destroyed by the enemies Makes them almost useless at times
>>484115834if armed hellbombs just functioned like damaged ones then we wouldn't be having any problems in the first place

>>484023407If you're going to be a bitch about it, I'll make it worse for you on purpose.
Stalwart should be a primary
>>484120903It's not fun as a game mechanic though>>484120910Nothing really, I'd prefer to them getting destroyed
>>484075845>chud helmetc-can my leandiver join you?
adjudicator my beloved
>>484121131It would btfo all the other primaries. You'd have to half it's magazine at least.
I should be able to dangerously overcharge all my energy weapons if I feel like it, that's like half the reason why they exist in ultra-militarized sci-fi societies
>>484121387I know it's green like the g3, but it charges from the side like an FAL, and the magazines look more like FAL magazines. I thought they were going for G3 as well since swedes have used the G3 in their armed forces for a long time
>>484121450>it would be the first gun to fulfill people's expectations of a primary for onceyeah
>>484112774Vermintide and Darktide are great fun... Finally. The issue they have is the same as Helldivers 2 has: they release a game with great promise, garnering surprising acclaim. Then they either do fuck all or actively sabotage their game for a year or so. After 2+ years the game starts to be in a good state it should've been near launch, but nearly everyone has already moved on.
>>484121131They just need a 60rnd AR, slower ROF than default liberator, with more recoil, but a huge mag. NO DAMAGE CHANGE.
>>484121131stalwart, the MMG, and the HMG should all have scopes for long distance shooting

Anime website, anime game, anime general
>>484124110Is that why the Slugger has less stagger than the punisher?
>>484124518yes, it used to have an actual stagger value, but one of the nerfs it got because it was "too good as a DMR" or whatever
>>484124518yes so they made it a DMR

esker? I barely know er
>>484125729*slugSorry
>>484125729Same reason the arc got a fire rate and range decrease in exchange for stagger increase but then they gave stronger stagger resistance to enemies
>>484121628I mean, yeah. But you'd have to rebalance everything else around the Stalwart if you made it a primary including enemy spawns too. I don't disagree necessarily but it's pretty easy to see why they won't do it.
>looks great>is supposed to be some sort of anti-bot armor >has a completely useless effectIs there some sort or meta build with arc damage that I'm unaware? Can you pick up the arc pylons and use it as staff or something?
>>484126301If you are a tesla enthusiast you can pretty much semi safely hold your ground inside its range and if you get hit it will arc to something you probably want dead in exchange for almost no damage. I am still waiting for the heavy version
>>484126802But that's very limited and just defensive

>>484095631>>484095761>>484096135>>484097024The interiors do all have 0 armour, it's just that it both thinks the armour is still there giving ricochet symbols but it also still allows your bullets to pass through, letting you do full damage. The stalwart in this clip isn't returning ricochet symbols because it doesn't display hitmarkers at all, even in normal circumstances, but it's still killing the charger as it hasn't even entered the bleedout state.
>>484134463When are they adding wrist rockets?
>>484135121Soon all basic bots will have wrist rockets for even more ragdolling
>>484135121when they add the purple stuff warbond so you get instagibbed by splash damage
>>484134871And then you have the HMG which does return hit markers showing both the ricochet symbol and the deflection spark, but it's still doing damage as well.Chargers are just fucking broken and need a serious total re-evaluation to fix everything that's wrong with them.
>>484135121It depends. Are you going to watch out for them?
I tried the slugger again and it really does gargle floppy charger cock. The damage is pitiable compared to the punisher, even fails to oneshot hunters at medium range lot of the time, and the lack of stagger really, really takes the cake.
>rocket insta kills you at full health with fortified heavy armorEveryone hates bots because they're rng bullshit
>>484136519Yeah it sucks. The punisher staggers even stalkers. There is no point in taking that gun anymore for anything.
>>484118904maybe its just me but it seems weird to make one for a rotating store armor. is it not possible to just have these be replacers for any armor instead of specific sets?

>>484081996I have no proof that they've actually been nerfed. I just know that they fucked with keeping the same seed for people that have been power grinding D1 maps.Also, from day 1 it has always been better to grind super credits on low difficulty missions compared to high difficulty missions because the loot pool gets dilluted with rare sample drops. On top of that I swear that the lower difficulties have a more diverse arrangement of POI tiles. I swear that when one of my more casual friends had me playing ~D5 missions with him, I saw a much greater abundance of support gear at POIs and frequent "failed drop pods" containing support backpacks and such. Meanwhile when playing D7-D9 I can go several games without seeing any random support gear at POIs. A shame since I think it might be kind of neat as a challenge to just drop in without any support gear and just go native with whatever I find in a mission, but the odds of actually finding any support gear just feels so dogshit at high difficulty compared to low.

>>484139030It was literally this wedness day when I fucked around on d3
>>484139221I don't believe you. I've spent a lot of time on D3's looking for automaton tanks for testing and I've never found a patriot sitting at a POI. Were you solo or playing with other players?
>>484138637I've found one as well!It had no ammo. Zero shots. I forgot which difficulty, probably D2 or D3.
>>484137379Certified schizo
>>484133045I know it doesn't matter but there's a lot of people like >>484110247 who think it does. Personally I think the sooner people are disabused of the idea that MOs mean anything if there isn't a stratagem on the line the better. Unless it's AT mines, then it's still nothing.

>>484142042sorry loser but you need to fail to unlock AT mines a 4th time before you're getting any other content
>>484142042How were people cheating in unreleased strats? Cause if they take much longer I'm considering doing it so I can fuck around with something new at least.

>>484149997>wear something besides the legionnaire armorwhy tho
>>484144353Usually yeah, but sometimes you just die and that's why this faction sucks
>>484150373Cause there's better looking armors out there
What is the use case for the exploding crossbow over the Eruptor? I mean it fires faster, but the projectile is almost half as fast, has less stagger, and deals significantly less overall damage. I can't see why it's on page 3 of Democratic Detonation and Eruptor on page 2.
>mogs all other secondariesAlmost like a secondary should function as something beyond a desperation weapon
>>484152952Senator is very competitive too after all the buffs.
>>484153121It's great but you need some real good aim to make it work against bots
>>484152885Is the Eruptor better than the Dominator?
>>484152952Wait until they add the flamethrower pistol that will kill chargers!
>>484152952I haven't been using it on bugs since the Eruptor was made into a passable weapon and I never used it on bots. I really don't like it, feels like shit to use. Grenades don't do much damage, you only get 1 from an ammo box, only saving grace is that it exists to free up your support/primary/grenade slots for something that doesn't need to destroy holes and fabs. I've been using the Eruptor and Bushwhacker and that feels so much better.
>>484153445The Eruptor's more specialized. There's no circumstance where the Dominator is the wrong weapon to have, but the Eruptor is basically a long range grenade launcher attached to a rifle bullet, so it has use cases where it excels (usually vs. Bots) and situations where it's not quite as good (usually vs. Bugs)
>>484150373You raise a good point. I've worn it this long, why change it?It would just be nice to have SOME variety with the armor weight level and perk I like.
explosive crossbow is neat
>>484152952The day they make a secondary knife that replaces your normal melee with a strong, quick attack that staggers and instantly kills anything small enough is the day the secondary slot dies entirely.
>>484154734Wish it had a non-explosive firing mode that allowed you to take out enemies silently without giving away your position. Probably too much for the swedes though.
>>484153534Do you use the eruptor on bots?I'm using the plasma since it works for almost everything short of a hulk and up
>>484154949It's very lame the throwing knives were a projectile only and not a secondary with a melee alternative
>>484149997AH should just make perks swappable between armors. That said it'd probably break the game so whatever
>>484155805>That said it'd probably break the game so whateverSeems to be on-brand.
>>484152952I prefer redeemer for bugs with dominator, use the redeemer to mop up little bugs the dominator is too slow to deal with, slam everything else. I use grenade armour, impacts and strats to close holes. I'll even use a spare support weapon call to close a hole if I need to.
>>484155517I use it primarily on bugs, on bots I'd rather run the Tenderizer + AC.

See fellas, women DO play this game.
>>484165087I'm pretty sure I just said there's still a nest.
>>484159584If I have to take out the gunship patrols because everyone else is too stupid to take them down you're goddamn right I'm going to take the resupply.
>>484164094what does that even do?in fact except for health, ammo and sprinting which boosters are actually good for a 4th? Infusion?muscle enhancement can be situational both budgets seem like a waste if you're organised shocks can be very situational depending on the mission but you only know after the drop UAV maybe for farmingPilot I'm not sure on i
>>484165627>gunship patrolswhat's the point of having their factories in the map of gunships spawn regardless and there's like 6 in a single map
>>484166535Experimental Infusion
>>484166596them spawning as patrols is a mission modifer
>>484166535There's a hidden timer between when enemies can call a dropship or bug breach, and localization confusion increases that timer by around 40%. It was pretty useful on D9 because you could see multiple titans spawn repeatedly out of a breach at that level but now that spawns have been reworked and experimental stims are here, it's a lot less optimal than it used to be.
Retrying other primaries after probably 40 bug missions with the incen breaker. Everything feels fucking shit.The only gun that felt like it had some use case was the sickle. Its unbelievable how bad everything else feels.
No seriously, kill 5 what? titans?
>>484167454hulks silly
>>484167536Thank god. Fuck bugs.
>>484167275>Everything feels fucking shit.yes anon,after using a weapon that is blatantly OP and so far above everything else using weapons that don't match that will feel like shit. That's why keeping OP shit OP is bad for the health of the game, because you get exactly this problem.What would you have to do to buff the liberator to do what the incendiary breaker can do? Keeping in mind the incediary breaker can kill entire patrols and breaches of chaff bugs in one or two magazines, and bust a charger butt in half a magazine, you'd have to give the liberator a 60 round drum magazine and like 100+ damage. And then how would you buff the tenderizer to keep its relative position? And then how would you buff... it's an endless chain that results in complete trivialization of any kind of difficulty.
>>484167275Yeah, it's unironically too strong and deserves a nerf in some way, such as the particles "going out" after 25m or a mag size reduction, but other things still need more love too.
>>484167827Alexus is right, I wish all primaries deal no damage
>>484167827>What would you have to do to buff the liberator to do what the incendiary breaker can do? Particles go out after 20-30 meters >>484167836It can keep its mag size but breaker S&P needs its old 32 round magazine back.
>>484139121ah yes, the repost from a website that generally has better content than from here, while also allowing video files larger than 4mb with sound
>>484167827There needs to be a median between the two. The incen breaker just needs DoT damage fall off after 20-30m to keep it a close to mid range beast while requiring much more ammo (and more importantly time) to take out further afield threats.The issue with the ARs and SMGs is that it feels like you barely get anything per mag when you have to take out hordes. The other shotguns require you to engage hordes at close range by default which is very bad when the main threat of the horde loves being in close because they'll outnumber you and outreach your rate of fire with their tongue in your anus or their jumping claw attack.The Sickle felt good because it can quickly take out close to midrange hordes and have the "ammo" capacity to do so, using up your 3 coils then saving your last one until you can grab an ammo pack or resupply means you have a few uses to really lay on the damage too.But the rest just leave you feeling woefully outgunned and unfortunately its just infeasible to take the stalwart or MG when you need to deal with heavy threats.I honestly feel like the devs have written themselves into a corner with the ammo and how it appears on the weapon, because I feel like at this point you could set every AR's ammo per mag to 60 (with the ones with more going up to 80) and then it'd feel pretty great. Idk they've just fucked themselves I think
>>484168179>from a website that generally has better content than from here, while also allowing video files larger than 4mb with soundI miss 2x4chan so much, bros.
>>484167827>bust a charger butt in half a magazineI have NEVER had this happen for me whenever I tried the incel breaker.

>>484102408
>>484172996Not very well unless it's also a shotgun or explosive. Shotguns numbers are a tiny tiny bit lower than they should be due to how damage-fall off and rounding is handled on a per-pellet basis.
>>484174446Yes pretty much my exact feeling every fucking time it happens
>>484171948I dunno how replicable it is till i try it
>>484174509oh, shit, didn't notice the error with the eruptor. It should be 5 shots to kill, so 100% of the magazine. Stupid explosive weapons needing their own calculations
What the fuck are you supposed to do about turrets?They find you fast and instakill you
Can you even use the arc thrower against bots now? Can you even kill gunships with it?

>>484174840Yeah but I get blasted before I can shoot, it's infuriating
>>484174840>but only if they aren't aggroed for some inescrutable reason)I wonder if it's like the scout strider and the cannon barrel is eating the shot for no damage, like in this webm where shooting the end of he gun barrels with the scorcher does barely anything
>>484174137I remember being around during its early birth. It was nice. Then things happened and i couldn't be around for a while, when i came back everything was a mess.Felt like some sort of guy coming back from stasis.
>>484175067That's why you gotta be proactive and delete any and all turrets you can see way before they are ever a problem.With the spear at least it is easy to execute.
>>484174959How are rocket pods on bugs these days? I haven't tried them since the changes.
>>484175069It might be the case but you can never be sure where the sweedcode is actually reeking.
>>484174986Huh, looks that that webm is blacklisted or something, it 404's every time I try to upload it. 2+4chan bumps too powerful. Let's hop this works: https://s1.webmshare.com/7a4DK.webm
>>484175490Pretty shit. I try using them as intended, something to crack heavy armor so you can kill them with a non-AT weapon, and it's extremely inconsistent.
>>484175490they will more reliably hit and damage what you throw them at but they still don't outright kill, so it's a slight improvement.
>>484175334I'd need more effective stealth mechanics and better terrain navigation to do that consistently It's like they programmed the entire game around the terminids and added the automatons later without thinking about the changes it would do to gameplay
>>484176000Spear can aim at the turrets from fuck off nowhere. Try it. I pulled it off even before the fixes.

It should have a variable level of damage and penetration based on charge time like the railgun, but its minimum and maximum charge time is all set to 1 second, meaning you can only ever do what we have now.At minimum charge it should do 30 damage with 1 penetration and at maximum charge it should do 300 damage at 9 penetration, plus the 150 damage 3 penetration explosion regardless of charge level.

kind of wild the inc breaker is probably multiple times stronger than even the regular breaker was on release
>>484182192Well breaker was just good and it's not like it lost much either.
>>484182192and yet it still feels like absolute shit to use because it's not automatic, and they're like 8-10 years behind every other studio at making the burst and semi guns feel good to shoot
>>484182328>>484182192Granted it got a minor nerf for nerfing sake because i guess alexus couldn't get enough reasoning behind nerfing it harder.
>>484182192I think you guys are exaggerating on how good it isIt's certainly the best primary for bugs but it doesn't deal that well with spewers or commanders It really just felt like a good upgrade from the regular breaker to me
>>484182517>weapon that can kill 10-20 bugs in a single shot without even aiming it properly from 100+m awayIt's pretty fucking good. It doesn't deal with rarer enemies, but it doesn't matter against a faction that is 90% chaff.

>>484183604It is
>>484183667It's not.
>>484183604it fires 11 pellets per shot and scavengers and pouncers are the only bug that it can kill within a single DoT application if only a single pellet hits it, so each pellet would need to hit a single scavenger each to get 11 kills with one shot.
>>484183831sorry, 12 pellets. it fires 12 pellets in one shot. so a maximum possible kill count of 12 with a single shot.
