>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.

>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.

Oh dear, if only there were an armor that gave you extra magazines for your weapons and made reloading faster...

Everything.
>has high damage per shot and powerful single-target damage when you put all the buckshot into them at point blank range, which is the entire reason you use the Punisher in the first place
>has the fire dot damage of the Incel Breaker that lets you clear waves of chaff with only one or two shots
>has powerful stagger and knockback when you hit targets at close range, allowing you to get medium enemies like Alpha Commanders, Stalkers and Overseers off of your asshole

>>507349736
I would call it low priority. It does a shitload of damage, but is active for a really long time and you can't get anywhere near it while it's going. Use it as a large base clearer, and honestly don't bother until you get the accuracy upgrade.

>>507351051
1. It's good against bugs, you can clear chaff waves really easily and kill most enemies smaller than Bile Spewers with minimal effort.

2. It's stupidly strong against squids because the street fighting environment funnels enemies down narrow streets where they're easy to cut down, and at max RPM it deletes shields as if they were nothing. The only thing it has trouble killing is Harvesters, but even after more Illuminate units are added it'll still be really strong solely due to its ability to kill Voteless hordes and collapse shields.

Full yogurt armor wins every drip contest everytime by a huge margin even when it's not posted, it simply cannot be topped.

>>507363925
definitely not fine
it needs a little boost to make it not just a meme

all it needs is a little more damage than the dcs
it doesn't need to be insane but there should be a reason to use it over the dcs, which as it stands, the dcs is just better in every metric
being able to one shot devs or hive guards would be nice
additionally, if they gave it clips that'd be really nice too but i could live without it if it could just do good damage to make up for it

Any thoughts on doing something like this? I think you could find a support weapon out in the map if you really wanted to (unreliable), but between the HMG on the car and the AT-E I think you'd cover enough to make this stratagem selection useful.

Buy a faster CPU
I have a 6700XT which is good but not incredible and going from a R5-3600 to an R7 7800X3D basically tripled my FPS.
>>
You can store items like exploding barrels and artillery missiles in the trunk of the FRV for whatever reason, it's kinda BUGGY though.
When you put something in the trunk it visually just falls to the ground, but then if you drive away, get out, and interact with the trunk again, the item you put in there will teleport into your arms from wherever it was before. It feels like they had this idea, put it in for testing, and then decided to scrap it but forgot to remove it before releasing the FRV.

yeah helldivers 2 is one of the many modern games that is very CPU bound. basically you'll not go over 30% usage but you will get inconsistent frametimes if you do not have a massively overkill single thread performance. i have a 9800x3d now and i never notice the game running badly anymore. sometimes my framerate drops below 100 because my GPU can't keep up but it never really looks "choppy" the way it used to, even at similar framerates

Is there a way to make the game actually utilize more than a single core?
>>
>>507368438
No, you are correct. Bots are actually a challenge because they can actually shoot back at you instead of you just kiting them away and keeping them outside of melee range. You have to actually consider factors like cover, suppressing fire, that sort of thing. Bugs allow you to enact power fantasies, bots are an actual challenge that force you to use your brain.

That all being said, bots used to be a lot harder because there were a bunch of balance factors (and glitches) that made them extremely bullshit. Things like shooting through walls, ignoring not having line of sight, and so on. They've been consecutively nerfed for several patches in a row now, so they're in a nearly decent place. Practically speaking, no faction should be harder than another, but that's just how the game has shaken out.

It's just that they play differently to bugs, which are so easy you mgiht as well be lobotomized and still be able to beat them.
Bots meanwhile have ranged weaponry, which can only be countered by taking advantage of terrain, which you normally don't have to do while fighting against the bugs.

tl;dr Don't worry, we all got our ass cheeks clapped by the bots.

Now start experimenting with your kit, things that worked with bugs don't necessarily work with bots.

>>507368438
No, bots being harder is almost universally agreed on.
>>
>>507368803
no, its just how the game is programmed. the game is definitely using multiple cores for various things but some things (AI, physics) may have to be done within a single CPU thread, which means that everything else has to wait for that logic to finish computing
>>
>>507369192
>no faction should be harder than another
why not?
>>
>>507368438
bots are hard cause they don't have a max range for dmg as a faction identity, exceptions were designed to make you run out of cover i.e berserkers
also the game was most likely designed specifically for 4 people play and even though it scales down for solo play, it doesn't do it enough so it still is a penalty to play solo vs with 3 casual lobotomites

Switch "activate ammo type wheel" to "press" instead of the default, which is "long press"
Map "pull up ammo switch wheel" to a comfy unused button (I use "T")
Map "move weapon type right" to that same button

So in my case, pressing T automatically switches ammo types one to the right. You just can't switch ammo types while aiming. This now works for any gun btw.

So if I understand supply lines and dfefence missions (I dont) wouldn't it be better to liberate Esker since it would just auto complete the defence mission of Bore Rock?

rover was really great for people who couldn't fire their primary weapon because of being shell shocked by scavengers.
it absolutely did kill the 2 hunters chasing the poor sod that he had absolutely no way of killing because his hands seized up and his gun jammed, grenades were glued to his pocked and couldnt throw them, and stratagems were mysteriously scrambled by some unknown power.

I mean anything can pop a hulk back so it's kind of like the charger situation where it's a trick shot and you need to make sure enough bomblets hit the backside.

Should let us put a perk for each armor piece, one offensive, one defensive, and one utility. There's so many that are just ass on their own like unflinching or scout, with some useful ones I'd actually run. I don't think stacking them would be game breaking either, unless you stacked all offense or defense.
At the same time, who the fuck is really taking the killzone or brap perks unironically.

>>507384962
Gunplay and movement is great, personally it feels a lot like Metal Gear Solid 5 to me, the smoothness of movement and aiming alongside the Helldiver's ability to call in all sorts of cool explosions with their equivalent of an iDroid. It doesn't have a half-baked multiplayer zombie shooter added onto it except when it was added it was great because it wasn't just zombies. It's got a great sense of chaotic fun that I think is really intuitive and when players really "lock in" and become a tidal wave of destruction it feels fantastic. The flip side of that is the procedural generation of the terrain and enemy spawns does mean that sometimes, no matter how well laid out the team's plan is, you simple get blown to smithereens. That does lead to frustration which is part of what I've read the developer design is wanting to portray (highest highs and lowest lows) but even those lowest lows are offset by a quick respawn or, worst case scenario, a few minutes of waiting during the defeat screen and then its ten minutes tops before the lobby host picks another op and the players can all drop in again.
The setting, lore, and most of the aesthetics seem to serve the gameplay first, from the military industrial complex of Super Earth providing a background to why everyone is so gung ho to fight alongside really simple stuff like the operation selection map being viewable in real time by everyone on the bridge. The fact that developing news and recent events are portrayed in-game by the talking heads of the Ministry of Truth on the big Super Destroyer flatscreen helps this too.
All in all, the game really does make you feel like Spiderman, I uh, mean, a Helldiver.

(And D10 in multiplayer 2+ doesn't have the numbers of enemies to make the fantasy feel even remotely there, they should at least quadruple the enemy spawns on all fronts)

There is currency that is blue, the super credits, that you can find on the map, often in points of interests, crates, drop pods and bunkers.
So you want to comb the map and hit up all the points of interest.

That's what the cyborgs were.

>>507391463
Every enemy Super Earth has is one democracy's most typical enemies or extremist political identity. The bugs are fascists, the bots are communists, the bots are autocrats/terrorists, and the fourth would likely be rebels/anarchists.

>>507391857
The ayys are autocrats/terrorists*. Also the radio tower objective on the bug front has a message written on its big screen up top that is literally someone done by a dissident. It's clear not everyone living under Super Earth's authority thinks the same way that Super Earth does, it's just that you don't see much of that from the perspective of the Helldivers - who are some of Super Earth's biggest koolaid drinkers.

Is there a reason you prefer fighting Bots?
>>
>>507391853
>Also they probably got fully converted by the bots
I though the bots job were to free the cyborgs, not turn them into complete tincans

In terms of rebels, imagine if a borderline messianic figure appeared on some borderworld, took over and created a faction of religious fanatics worshipping him as a god emperor
So not-40k

>>507392182
Because Illuminates haven't had their full roster let off the leash yet.
Although I do enjoy all the factions, including bugs. Fighting a swarm of hunters with a pump shotty never gets old to me.
>>
>>507391463
Something similar to the Covenant would be cool. A faction comprised of different race of aliens.
>>
>>507392182
Because they can actually kill you if you play like shit due to their inbuilt aimbot/suppression mechanic. Meanwhile, you can just casually run into a group of the ayys and they will miss about 90% of their shots on you. They actually feel like you're fighting something akin to a war with them.
>>
>>507392296
>WE HAVE DESTROYED INEQUALITY
That's not a line a society willing to allow exceptions to the rule uses. They also seem to be forcefully converting super earthers they capture and then blending down the bodies for some reason.
>>
>>507391463
A guy with a knife. Every mission just spawns one homeless guy with a knife somewhere on the map and he starts running towards your location so he can mug you.
>>
Are the SEAF artillery objectives set up to spawn more patrols than other ones? I swear I can't ever do one without getting 2 sometimes 3 patrols that come by and if one of them calls a bug breach the next patrol will show up before I can deal with them all.

I might just start skipping that objective if I see it on bug missions. It's so annoying.
>>
>>507392696
They use blood as fuel. Super Earth is to the bots what the bugs are to Super Earth. Similar to how the ayys are using Super Earth citizens to amass an army as well. This galactic war is entirely a resource war, it's just that humans are the resource for 2/3 of the factions.

>>507395121
Bugs don't eat humans, because you find a lot of leftover corpses all over the place on bug operations. That and bugs that camp over dead helldivers don't start eating their corpse after they kill them. Bugs are probably the least malicious faction against Super Earth because they seem to be entirely instinctually driven to kill humans out of a century of war and genetic manipulation, kind of like how a metroid is instinctively driven to kill X parasites, but in an environment without humanity they just kind of harmonize with whatever place they live in. Even on Meridia, where they turned the planet into a fuck huge hive world of piss and shit everywhere, they didn't wipe out of the plant life and the little birds and other critters you occasionally see on those jungle biomes.

The directional shield is fundamentally flawed
The directional shield has a couple benefits over the ballistic shield in theory. Much better visibility (mostly relevant when using first person aiming) and being able to cover other helldivers. However, the ballistic shield has it's own benefits. It will never go down to small arms fire, and typically isn't destroyed short of taking a tank cannon. Sometimes this will even let you survive a hit that would have been certain death. The ballistic shield's main advantage is that it's always active. You don't have to aim and raise it, it can still take shots. Even on your back it will absorb hits. It can be surprisingly useful, even if you didn't take a single handled primary. This is in stark contrast to the directional shield, which is ONLY active when aiming with a single handed weapon. Also, you don't have the increased hitbox of the directional shield which can end up getting you killed from rockets and other explosives
The advantage of shielding allied helldivers is a doubled edged sword. If you're in the front you will naturally be taking the aggro of enemy units, making the entire wide shield arc redundant. The shield additionally doesn't protect from explosives, so now instead of shielding an ally you can potentially just get 2 dead helldivers instead. If you instead position yourself farther back next to allies (or a turret), you're left with a single handed weapon, which all preform poorly at range (with the exception of the crossbow, I suppose). Babysitting another ally isn't particularly fun, and unlike team reloads often isn't productive either.

I want to see a team of 4 helldivers with directional shields in the FRV. Just layer those shits like a Star Trek ship.
>>
>>507398498

Moving away from the HD1 directional shield was a mistake. While the idea of a glove mounted energy shield is cool in theory, as far as gameplay is concerned it is a downgrade of an already extremely niche stratagem (the ballistic shield). Reworking the directional shield into a piece of equipment more like the bubble shield would actually be useful. To keep it from being as simple to use as the bubble shield you can have it only be active while aiming, just like it's current incarnation. It's current shield HP would probably need tweaking if this was the case, but at least it would serve a new niche instead of just being a downgrade, while still keeping the bubble shield viable (since it's always active and provides protection from any angle)

thank you for coming to my ted talk

New mode explodes on a timer or until it hits something. It won't randomly get triggered by the random hunter tonguing your friend's anus 5 m away in front of you.
>>
>>507398674
Basically just means you can point and shoot and it won't blow up because it detected on team mate or bugger right next to your face, killing you and your entire team.
With enough practice you can spat the enemy and not kill yourself, maybe even not kill your team mates if you get good enough.

Ah so if it doesn't hit anything it will explode at the same distance away from you every time?

>>507398898
Yeah, the distance is relatively short tho so if you're aiming for something at a distance, you better fall back to the air burst mode.
Also, i think the airburst mode now actually explodes IN THE AIR (like the bomblets too) instead of just falling down. Or was it a fluke ? I don't know.

Even if they give us gun custom, i don't think they'll go as far as letting us pick mag sizes and stuff. It would go again their warbond shittery.

Thats what it seemed like was happening but i wasnt sure.

Man why can't they just give it a mode that doesn't explode unless it collides with something? Are they worried it would be too good? Because in that goldilocks zone where the target is far enough away from you that you can get a direct hit before the timer goes off and also not kill yourself it is actually awesome. You can reliably kill chargers, impalers and hulks now.

I thought the original idea they had made some sense
>Players choose a planet to either impede enemy progress while they work on other planets, or completely break Gambits
But people made the mistake of going to the Planet OSS was on, when you were suppose to avoid them and focus on other Planets. the devs had to point this out as well lol.
So what now? Are they abandoning the concept or what will they do now?
I hope at the very least

>120 barrage
Utility option, good in conjunction with other strats but extremely inconsistent by itself
>380 barrage
Meme option, it will probably do jack shit and will more than likely kill you in the process

Does it's job but is over shadowed by multiple better chaff clearing options, the original ABRL.

Overshadowed by the grenade. Is extremely useful on one specific bot mission type. You know the one.
>EMS
Overshadowed by the grenade AND the mortar
>Gas
Really good at fucking over bug swarms without team killing. Almost always worth bringing on the bug front
>Gatling
Your best option for pretty much every situation in the early game

Noob trap on bugs, but can be a nice utility on bots if you're a lazy fuck
>rail cannon
For when you absolutely have to kill a hive titan and pretty much nothing else. Don't bring on bots

Granted I do just slap the side of them with EATs too but really the spread is too wide and the damage falloff too steep, the only targets big and spread out enough for a 380 barrage to reliably hit is a building.
>>
>>507406276
Only because they have only 1 unit type that can effectively damage it at the moment.

whats a meta loadout for someone that only has the first battlepass? I'm looking for shit that trivializes the game on super helldive
Currently level 30 with the counter sniper unlocked
>>
>>507397838
it isn't.
bigger map = more space between POI's, and D3 has both secondary objectives, sub-objectives, and outposts that all have dead zones of no POI spawns around them

Remember, the bots don't understand the notion of liberty or the Holiday Spirit.
Use this to your advantage.

recoilless rifle trivializes the game on d10 if you can reliably hit dropships
best armors to use with it are siege ready (reload redux) and peak physique (aim speed)

nothing else makes the game as easy as RR

>>507406243
Anon that's probably the least efficient way to clear a base you could possibly come up with outside of bayonet charging with the Springfield

Accelerator + Chudarmor so good on bot

are you forgetting the commando? they never intended it to blow up fabricators form any angle and not only did they let it keep it, they gave that ability to every heavy AT weapon
>>
>>507409058
I would if I didn't get connectivity stutters that kill the lobby
>>
>>507409041
In this case, I don't overly mind since the extra challenge is fun. What I would like, however, is for the Illegal Broadcast objective to not be destroyable anymore (or at least give a bonus for actually clearing it and fiddling with the console at its base).

>Do you think they'll ever add an unambiguously good faction for super earth to fight?
Super Earth is unambiguously good, so that would never work. It they encountered any goodguys in space, the would want to be allies with the Helldivers, and if they don't want to be allies then they are automatically evil.

Yep machine gun turret is good even if just as a distraction. Throw it far away so it's hitting a flank. Orbital gatling just throw that on anything you see. Directly on top of breaches and drops or just any choke point. Eagle strafing good for patrols. EAT also good. Bum a support weapon off a friend or poi. Spam them constantly.

I posted this not two threads ago but i''l say it again.

Pulpy sci-fi primitive reptilians kitbashing together a fighting force out of their own deadly teeth and claws, maybe some acid spittings and frog tongues, camo scales and aquatic ambushes plus some salvaged super earth junk and their ridable space dinosaur mounts/attack beasts. They're not fake primitives like the iluminates with the 10,000 year old jaffa stick, i'm talking spears with grenades strapped to the end and a big rock for the shield and maybe some hoverboard chariots powered by pod racer engines. They can have a bit of a cargo cult mentality around Super Earth's technology that falls from the sky before launching themselves across galactic frontiers in stolen rockets and civvie transports to populate landscapes. Maybe if it doesn't lead step on squid toes to badly they can have caveman cults centered on Stonehenge bases with little alters with samples in them.

Flash gordan, GI-joe, Thunder cats, all are big examples to lean on. Star trek's OG gorn encounter as well, a touch of kobolds and goblins. The Warhammer lizards are also a thing but the aesthetic in mind for my dream version of helldivers vs lizards isn't supposed to be primitive only in aesthetics them actually being an unambiguously technologically inferior enemy.

I like the salvaged weapons idea better than anything biological. Straight up just using SE weapons against you. Mad max styled anarchists. Unique missions would be like trying to get into a fortified SEAF artillery emplacement and take it back.
