Physics Defying Ragdolling Edition>Previous>>493435493>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC and PS5 where players fight against hordes of alien insects and robots to Spread Democracy. Players wage war on a number of contested planets, each with a different environment, completing as many objectives as possible within a procedurally generated area while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful operations a planet can be completely liberated, and the player base must cooperate to try to liberate the entire galaxy by focusing and combining their efforts as much as possible. https://store.steampowered.com/app/553850/HELLDIVERS_2/https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers-2/>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is the origin of the setting and basic gameplay formula of HELLDIVERS 2. The major difference is that HELLDIVERS is a top-down shooter, its mechanics being based primarily on Arrowhead's previous game Magicka.https://store.steampowered.com/app/394510/HELLDIVERS_Dive_Harder_Edition/https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers/>INFORMATION RESOURCEShttps://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Helldivers_Wikihttps://helldiverstrainingmanual.com/https://helldiverscompanion.com/https://helldivers.io/https://invadersfromplanet.space/helldivers-2/>NEWSAugust 20: 1.001.004 Patch https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/6992487606095723693August 21: 1.001.005 Hotfix https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4252047773008305837Sept 5: Update progress https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4613462911400573371>CURRENT WARBONDAugust 8: Freedom's Flame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXngA0CO33c
First for fuck sweden
How come this throwing knife doesn't kill a Warrior sometimes. I'm definitely hitting the head with it.
This is the future the Automatons want
>>493606236why does this item even exist?
Which faction will be the first to build/evolve fuckable units to seduce their way to Super Earth?
>>493608047the Terminids already have
>>493608047I want a Stalker female to drag me to her breeding lair and suck me dry with her tongue
>>493606086imagine believing the railgun is an actually viable weapon
>>493607292 tryhards to meta their way into artificial diffcultyAlso roleplay I suppose
>>493609068well it would be fine if it replaced melee and it was 1 knife which could be picked up againbut aside from that it's shit
>>493607292They watched too much Predator and wanted to give players the option to make cool-feeling memes.And then they forgot to include one of the most iconic weapons from Predator.
To all the hmgchads who tried to enlighten me all those months ago — you were right, this is literally the best weapon in the entire game (for bots, anyway). And to the ACchuds — as always — cope, seethe, dilate
Why doesn't Muscle Enhancement have the same effect as Peak Physique. Like what's even the difference, one is legs other is arms? I call bullshit
>>493610029muscle enhancement is steroids, peak physique makes you brown
>hmg>best>when you can have AC + pocket HMGe for two strat slots>same as hmg + supply pack
>>493610531The Emplacement has been rendered almost useless since Rocket Chickens were introduced and Turrets started firing in bursts (this thing has 100% changed just to invalidate the diaper backpack)
had to drop, sorry
>>493609230Maybe they'll add another machine gun support weapon like that.https://youtu.be/EXjfvx-k1Ms
You laugh now, but the throwing knife will be the best weapon against the Illuminate elites and I will have a lot of practice with it.
>>493610531ACdivers are the most obstinate and delusional of all hd2 players
Right so I did actually get an error message this time, but after switching my steam download region to New York I'd hardly call this an improvement.
lobby is empty again, need frens :[steam://joinlobby/553850/109775243146034456/76561198121770582
>>493612403I never got that so it's a you issue
>>493612424I'm kinda burnt out and we had that last one in the bag anyways. I've gotta exercise anyways and I'm now sufficiently drunk enough that it's not gonna hurt so bad now
>>493610932Claiming that HMGe's are invalidated by the presence of rockets is just a bad faith argument. Is there a risk? Absolutely, but it's also an extremely powerful weapon if you account for and mitigate risks. You're throwing out the baby with the bathwater
>>4936124242/4, pls don't let me get pub AIDS again
>>493612827(this dude really a goose...?)
>>4936128272/4 again
>>493612827What the fuck even causes this?
>>493612371Hey now, don't blame them for exploiting developer favoritism and using what is clearly one of the most imbalanced weapons in the game.
>>4936124242/4 we gaan, join up if you can ded thread
Recommend me a gun loadout for bots 8-9 difficulty, please respond
>>493613763fuck, full
>>493614685Torcher, Dagger, Incendiary Grenades.Bring the Arc Thrower, Machine Gun Sentry, Incendiary Mines, and Tesla Tower. Make sure to bring the Firebomb Hellpods booster.You'll knock 'em dead.
>>493606739>sloppy demon bot toppyDemocracy have mercy
Smack an Alpha's big head with the throwing knife and finish it off with a quick burst from your Liberator, works really well and the knife staggers it.
>railguns and commandos>railguns and commandosI hate casuals so much
Any lobbies for a late saturday dive? Don't feel like sleepin
>>493615792I want to have balls big enough to go into a d8+ match with a liberator.
>>493615160no trolling plis Im poor and I need to know what to buy
>Botfags already bitching about Bugchads not helping with the MO>A fucking pointless MO that won't give us anything useful like a new weapon or strat>The more bot MOs we lose the closer they get to Super Earth which is fine in my book because that means Swiggers will have to rush the city levels that were leaked>And even if the next bot MO gives us a bot maid strat with built in blowjob machine I'm still not fighting bots, seethe and dilate botfags.
>>493616707sickle if you want an ARslugger, dilligence counter-sniper if you want a precision ranged weapon with some punchplasma punisher for a general bot problem solveryour choice of secondary, senator, redeemer and grenade pistol are all greatstuns or impacts
>>493616550I'm actually using the Liberator Carbine. Same thing but shoots faster, and it's a bit smaller so it doesn't clip through enemies in your face and shoot past them.
>>493616707I think Cutting Edge and Democratic Detonation are the two best warbonds since they give you Stun Grenades and the Grenade Pistol.
>>493614685Scorcher, Punisher Plasma, Dominator or Diligence CSVerdict or Senator, Grenade Pistol if you like that sort of thingStun Grenades, non-negotiable unless you really want to destroy fabricatorsHMG + Supply Backpack, or Autocannon, or AMR, or Laser Cannon if it's not a heat planetSpear or Commando if your team has good AP4 weaponsRailgun is a meme, don't use it unless you absolutely just hate Rocket Striders. Grenade Launcher is decent but I wouldn't bring it without a Supply Backpack and definitely not if your team doesn't have a counter against Gunships.
Ugh, these rocket pods take off the side armor on the chargers and bile titans, but how am I supposed to shoot it in the side?
>>493617912with your gun
>>493617912Stun Grenades and teamwork.
>>493617994I'm trying to kill them without stun grenades. Normally I just stun and ops, or stun and ass kill.
>hulk coming at you>karate chopping so you can't hit the head>toss a stun at it>it works and it's stunned>line up a shot>hulk starts turning around>it's perfectly edgewise to you so you can hit neither the head nor the back>now it stops movingSweden pls. I wish that was uncommon.
>>493618104the side of the head is flat so you can hit it when it's 90 degrees to you, it's just a much smaller target, obviously
>>493618104I had a hulk literally cheese itself out of a fucking stun+OPS by karate chopping out of range. The stun grenade did dick all, I was fucking pissed.
>>493618093Bile Titans are pretty easy to OPS, just make sure it's tracking on you (bile sacs blown off optional), toss it at your feet, and bait it into stepping on the red line and attacking you.>>493618104Protip: The arms and legs can also be destroyed with AP4, it just takes more firepower than the eye.
lobby?
>>493618347Yeah, that's what I do with OPS.But without stuns idk if it will work as well on chargers, so I was trying to see if Rocket Pods would work.
>>493616418>>493618637steam://joinlobby/553850/109775243152604165/10 either
gaylavar is a shit planet
>>4936188363/4
>>493618670Without stuns, Chargers are a lot more difficult to deal with, that's why Stun Grenade is considered mandatory. Your only other options are either AT to the leg while walking forward or Orbital Railcannon.
>>493619028>Your only other options are either AT to the leg while walking forward or Orbital Railcannon.or AT to the butt plates while walking forward for the one-shot killor AT to the rear leg without even needing to walk forward because they have less health than the front legsOr half a Command to the face
>>493619229>AT to the butt plates while walking forwardthey always seem to shrug it off for me where exactly do i hit the ass
>>493618836hurry up still 3/4
when I hear bugdivers say that bots spawn less enemies
>>493619448you're why i only got 45 killsthat and the fact that i'm retarded
>>493619340not the ass, the armour plates above the ass. the 2 big ones up near the back, not the smaller thinner ones closer to the tip of the ass
>>493619429>>493618836still 3/4 wtf is your problem, join, right now
>>4936198784/4
>>493618836gotdangit it, i got tired of waiting and joined the most ass bug lobby insteadyou let me down anon
>bring stalwart and gatling because I wanna shoot buggy fast>get the hunter seedPLEASE ARROWHEAD, LET ME PAY REC SO I CAN SEE THE SEED BEFORE THE MISSION.
>>493620903That's good, right? Stalwart is best on hunter seed.
rocket chickens are a fair and challenging addition to the game
>>493621143yeah it's fucking amazing. I wish the seed would line up like this more often. I had so much fun.
>AMR and Autocannon will work against Bile Titans nowHow many headshots with AMR/AC do you think it's a fair number to take down a BT? I'd say 10 AMR and 15 AC.
>>493618842It's literally just a normal coloured Malevalon Creek.
>>493620903I would be really happy if you could see the seed. Too many times have I brought Stalwart and got a Bile Spewer or Hive Guard seed, or Autocannon and got a Pouncer seed.
>>493621932>everyone takes AC and just bullies titans the whole matchI'm down for this.
>>493622784if it helps, you always get bile spewers on nuke
>Railcannon strike is... LE GOODkill yourself
>>493624125>d7lol
>>493624125On d10 that strider would be a bigger threat than the hulk and the railcannon would've chosen correctly.
>>493624125>He needs the rail cannon to kill stridersbro... your difficulty setting...
Exit in style. Swore I'd get revenge on a behemoth for sneaking on me. I fucking did. Fuck chargers.
Anyone remember at launch when we could pick multiple of the same stratagem? The game was so much more fun when we could.
>>493625040What stratagem would you want multiple of?
Give us more defenses, you fucking swigger Joel. This current one is a total wash and I'd rather not wait 12 hours for a new defense to pop where the conditions to win are actually possible.
>>4936252164 auto cannon turrets or 2 auto cannons and 2 machine gun turrets
Once you get in a rhythm of occasionally chucking a throwing knife to dispatch a warrior or hunter, it definitely improves your ammo economy.
It's complete horseshit I pressed fucking spacebar
>>493625435Yeah at the price of being unable to stop chargers running straight at you.
>>4936252164 OPS.
>>493625216mechs
>>493625752Just dive to the side and stick a throwing knife in their ass to kill them.
>>493625216Eagle Air strike if I was trying to game. With seperate cooldowns too of fucking course.Multiple Gatling or machine gun sentries, Mechs (basically all I took in HD1).Maybe commandos, and a big maybe on EATS.Honestly can't think of anything outside of that. Most strategems are super niche, and either have a good enough cooldown, or wouldn't be worth taking multiple to spam.The other thing too, Id rather do the shooting than just spam something. If there was a strategem that made ME stronger I'd spam that for sure.
>>493626219Stick 11 throwing knives in their ass*I'd rather just take the slugger or the Jar.
>>493626638You're gonna put the charger in a jar?
I would take nothing but 110s and thermites if they reliably did damage to main. Just "FUCK YOU CHARGER, FUCK YOU BILE TITAN, FUUUUUUCK YOU IMPLIER YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE"
>>493626765:)
>>493626841>FUUUUUUCK YOU IMPLIER>implying
>>493627154I hate when they do that!
>>4936252164 mortars
>>493626841I've been trying 110 rocket pods and they only seem good against bot tanks.
>>493625216I want 4 EATs. Infinite EATs, effectively.
https://youtu.be/KowWzfVMeY0?t=58Bruh, where do we get a grenade launcher that does that?
