Christmas Inbound Edition>Previous>>507411601>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/https://helldiverscompanion.com/https://helldivers.io/https://invadersfromplanet.space/helldivers-2/>MAJOR NEWSNov 13: Democracy Space Station https://twitter.com/helldivers2/status/1856900453667164360Dec 12: Omens of Tyrrany https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk0XkX0U_m0 Dec 13: Urban Legends https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uchI4TFLOTg Dec 18: Killzone collab part 1 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/516322672418750491Dec 19: Killzone collab part 2 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/516322672418750732>LATEST PATCHDec 18 1.002.003 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/516322672418750479
Merry Christmas divers, remember to kill the enemy.
Alright, now how do we fuck this up?

any lobbies up?
Arc thrower on shriekers feels awesome I get it nowHow do I team kill without it looking intentional?
>>507488968As a sterilizer enjoyer, I take offense. Whilst I cannot kill bile titans or a single enemy on the illuminate roster my kind take solace in that we are great at stalling bug chaff for the meta guns to clear big threats.
>>507488931Don't look at how old crossbows are.
>>507488931nah, en bloc clip*PING*
So it's definitely confirmed to be a wormhole.So the monoliths the Illuminate have been setting up across the galaxy are...? Beacons to tell the far Illuminate to come through and attack? If it was that I'd like to think that they would've come through by now. Some other kind of tech to "attune" or stabilise the wormhole to make it traversable?Because the wormhole only started doing this whole light show once the Illuminate started setting up the monoliths, I think they're obviously connected.
>>507488391
>>507489023why would it be in the armoury? support weapons are stratagems.
>>507489197The constitution likely just didn't get its damage cranked up to match the DCS's number bump. Give it the same or more damage, and it will at least kill stuff like it did in the first game.
hey we got Christmas light
>>507489428its not there
>>507488641Ceremonial rifle, please understand.Maybe give it more damage and heavy penetration?

>>507489197It's still a rifle.
>>507488641Lack of scope, mostly
uhh?OKWASP isn't on the strat list where you buy them, but I can now pick it.
Bore rockbros...Not like this...
The ultimate hi-viz bug slayer loadout. Holy shit I love the deagle

>>507490137Yeah it still doesn't show up in the stratagem list, but once you get that reward screen you can pick it in missions.For anyone else, just keep relogging until you get it.
>>507489946>Here's your rifle private Konskriptovich, go raid the enemy positions

>>507488391ITS A BUGNIGGER MIRACLE
>>507490438>>507490578But are you wearing your high visibility safety gear?
WASP can lock onto spore spewers from ~200m, doesn't need a full burst to destroy them.
>>507490709I wear one of the engineer armors because I like the way it looks.
>>507490675based fellow spewer skewerI love to maim bugs with the autoplapper
>>507490806SPEARbros...
>>507488641>doesn't know about the rapid fire animation cancelingShame.
>>507490835I mostly use it to blow up bug holes from afar. Though also for spewers
>>507490974It can lock onto bug-holes too.
Stinger whenI'd take it over the Commando even though it'll be inferior just to dab on the Spear
>>507491157I didn't get around to trying it yet. How does it work? Do you have a backpack for reloading or after you fire the 6-8 individual missiles it's donezo?
>>507489798Just a slower, longer range Blitzer.
>>507491076make sure to use it on all medium bugsbrood guards die in one hit, hive guards in two, alphas in three or fourif you have the ammo to spare and can rapid fire the gun well enough (first person view helps with that) it's also great at spamming down chargers and bile titans
Merry Christmas, /hdg/May we see many others without devolving into faggotry
I'm not seeing the wasp, anybody got it yet?
>>507491604It's a bug. You can pick it in mission select
>>507491382I usually use the Senator to deal with thr medium armored bugs. It two taps Hive Guards and Brood Commanders, three for Alphas.
>>507491587Too busy launching ICBMs to act gay.
>>507491368It's a backpack with 4(?) charges
>>507491368Backpack weapon, backpack carries 5 reloads, weapon holds 7 rounds per reload.Tap-fire to fire one rocket, or hold to fire everything.Also possesses TOP-fire "Artillery" mode, which launches an airburst similar to ABRL, and it can lock-on through walls to enable it to function better in that mode for attacking enemies behind cover.
>>507490543You only get four gas grenades anon, and while yeah the flamethrower is generally a better "all round" option bringing a guard dog lets me casually mulch bug columns without much worry. Using the grenades and my gas strike to shore up stuff my sterilizer can't immediately kill. One of its biggest advantages for me is its ability to redirect chargers and stuff a bug advance.
>>507491587Merry Christmas!
>Objective Hold Super Earth>Suddenly Illuminate out of the worm hole on Christmas Day/Day After>They push past Meridia until they get to Sol>While Helldivers are occupied with defending Earth the bugs get pushed out by the squids too and move to the southern sector of the map resulting in fighting bugs in city maps>Bots start to push towards Malevelon CreekHow would you react /hdg/?

>>507492083All in on nothing happening for 6 months
>>507491965There never was a DSS, take your meds.
>>507491905Wouldn't it make more sense for the bots to go towards super earth considering they are like 3 planets away
>>507489321>The constitution is based off of a 279 year old rifle >The crossbow is based off of a 2833 year old weaponwhat the fuck

>>507488641Slower reload speed than Punisher. Below par handling. Below average velocity bullet. No knockback. No empty reload feature like Senetor. It's a glorified hand spear.
>>507492454what bout the spear and baton?
>>507491965Was there a lore or news post about the dss getting shutdown? Did they just silently shut it off and hope everyone forgot about it?
>>507493271The spear is actually not based off of the ancient weapon.
>>507493385They said it was sabotage iirc
>>507493385yes there was a dispatchpresumably they'll more or less rework the whole thing

to anyone who's played both HD2 and pic related, can they be compared?
>>507494085Not really, no.
>>507494085Only in that they're a coop shooter in space
>>507494085Besides being 4 player and featuring bugs they aren't terribly similar.If anything HD2 is closer to a more fully developed and competent EDF.

>>507493879No
>>507494438500 KG only kills Titans if it lands close to them. Orbital Rail Cannon is guaranteed to one-tap them, otherwise you're better off packing an EAT for them.

>>507494085helldivers is more closer to EDF, not deep rock
>>507494595This content is far to seditious and promotes xeno rights. The Truth Enforcer has been notified.
>>507494680Its basically EDF if it was less tongue in cheek half-baked on purpose. This makes it more consistent but you won't have anything like the game just blatantly breaking mid mission on the regular like EDF.I am glad there is more to this genre than EDF now though, love games like this.
Why do bugdivers have such a bad name around here?Is it because of how easy they are to fight?
>>507494649>1/4
>>507495016Because they exclusively fight bugs even during bot MOs. Botfags are much less likely to not participate in bug MOs.
>>507494741>sending a truth enforcer to be raped by ayyysSounds pretty treasonous to me
>>507495016It's because they're the popular front.
>>507488942And I'd use this over the RR, why?
>>507494085DRG is a lot more boring
>>507495016I don't mind bug killing. All these ayys need to die at some point, so bullets going into any of them is good.Just make sure you keep the other fronts well covered too, soldier.
>>507495263Different use cases.

I farmed back up to 1k credits this evening. Is there any argument to made as to why I should pick chemical agents over jungle commandos?
>>507496931Outfuckingskilled
WASP update. It can lock onto invisible Stalkers and will kill them with one rocket.
>>507497024The hazmat armor is COOL.Also the stim pistol is a bit of a meme but you can use it to carry shitters which is nice. Jungle Commandos is probably generally better though.
>>507495016Bots require different tactics and strategy, while bugs are mindless fun.
>>507497024Personal preference. For me the Gas Nade more than makes Chem worth it.

>>507497125As fashion goes the only thing I might like from CA is the skull helmet, but that also applies to JC. I'll buy the latter then.
>>507495016The bugs used to be the easiest of the two factions available and were progressively nerfed to hell. If you load up a defense mission on bugs you might actually just fall asleep.However there is a subset of gamerdads, zoomers and generally skill issue impaired people who insist that they are difficult while at the same time playing nothing except bugs. This included times when the MO was to fight bots, which is where most of the anger comes from. They go on Reddit, Steam or other forums and post about how Difficulty 6 is super duper hecking hardcore cinema kino whoaaaa PTSD just like my Starship Troopers and other shit because they seemingly haven't played a shooter game in their lives and each time they launch up the game all previous skill is wiped from their brain. Most of them have moved onto the Illuminate right now because they are the new designated easy mode faction and even then they still have the gall to pretend that they're hard to fight when they have 2.5 different enemy types right now.
>>507495543kek
Finally got my penetrator liberatorThis will help against those mechanical fucks. Getting real tired of their shit.Is the auto-cannon any good against them? That might be my next investment.
How can AH make flamethrowers worth using? so many drawbacks while being weaker than every other option
really like the illuminate maps, especially the forest swamp one with the giant trees
I've gotten so used to the directional shield + knight combo against bots that I genuinely feel unsafe without it. If I "have" to use the wasp against bots what's a good primary to replace the knight with to take out the level 2 bots with Shields quickly?
>>507497738The upside is it's very ammo efficient. It works plenty well on bugs and squids, just not on bots.
>>507497579ac is the best weapon in the game
>>507497845Diligence one taps every Devastator to the dome.
bros...super earth was just destroyed in HD1
>>507497738It's pretty decent on bugs right now. I would add a stagger and more range and balance it out with backpack slot.
>>507495263You don't. It's just shitter cope on flying squids. It can't even lock onto the ground.

>>507498053*appeals to triviality*
>>507488157Im at Christmas dinner but I'd rather be at Shelt.
>>507497579autocannon is strong as all fuck against bots. the stagger force and explosive damage let you face off against the enemy in situations where everyone else would get the fuck out of dodge. if you aim it well it'll wreck any bot very quickly. it does take a great deal of getting attuned to though. if you don't like weapons with less than easy handling and recoil you'll definitely not enjoy the autocannon. but if you learn how to handle it you'll be an utter action hero living out your power fantasies and creaming more devastators than anyone else.

>>507498307here you go :^)
I just had the worst game of my life. I'm only level 14 so Extreme isn't exactly easy for me but I'm managing with 2 randos. They're off picking their noses while I solo the objectives. I got killed 8 times by friendly fire and only died twice to bugs. Literally had a moment where I was soloing a flag raise half way across the map, reinforced this guy on top of me, he would then accidentally blow me up with his WASP, then die himself. Twice, the other one reinforced me ontop of an airstrike which killed me instantly. They weren't even trolling. One guy just joined, burned 3 lives and then leftThis has convinced me to turn off cross play.

Do you try to land somewhere safe when you drop mid-combat? Or do you try to land on the highest priority target and adapt after landing?

>>507499996It's the Wasp Launcher
>>507499986always steer your hellpod on an enemyhellpods do insane damage these days, 2000+ or something
>>507499986the game is always more fun if you always go for the more risky move, unless you're really tryharding for samples/victorythrowing a barrage from a safe distance or landing in a safe place is nice, but sprinting through a barrage or trying to instantly land next to a hulk is thrilling
>>507499996Thats your yearly suffrage point. Don't lose it.
>>507499986if its a heavy target that's not swamped and its chasing someone, i'll land on it to try and kill itif the area is a complete clusterfuck ill land as far away as possible either on a flank or behind the team and assess how to help from there instead of immediately getting killed again
WASP can one-shot Gunships if the rocket hits a thruster, or two tapfire rockets if it hits the fuselage.One full burst seems to be able to destroy a fabricator if you don't want to get close, but it seems that if any rockets get cockblocked you'll need to fire one or two from the next canister to finish it off.One full burst can destroy a hulk from behind, but from the front it seems to take two. Tanks seem to be the same. I don't even want to think about how many reloads it would take to kill a Factory Strider, it's probably a lot unless you get lucky with hits on the eye. Cannon Turrets only take a 3 or so rockets if you hit their vents from behind, from the front it takes around 1.5 bursts.All Devastators die to one tapfire rocket.In Artillery mode it deals enough damage to kill Devastators and surrounding enemies like Scout Striders and other Devastators.

holy shit the antialiasing in this game sucks ballssoftens the image so much without actually getting rid of all the aliasing, there's still visible visual noisebut when you turn it off the unantialiased image is jaggy shimmering mess even at 1440p

>>507500792look harder
>>507501662Not to mention the utility it has with proper positioning, capable of sniping bot outposts from the other side of the map. Even if it's just the tiniest speck of a fabricator's roof poking out from the horizon, you can obliterate it effortlessly (assuming you're able of adjusting aim for the bullet drop, which is a hard ask for bugniggers)
>>507501896They always show up on the UI. They didn't for me, despite picking the right difficulty. That purple counter at the top right was not there.

>>507502546If you get lucky and several rockets hit the leg-joints then yes it can kill in one burst, realistically it will take two full bursts, which is consistent with the performance I've seen vs most other Heavy units. It either takes two bursts or one if you shoot from a specific angle like behind for Hulks/Tanks/Chargers.

I heard someone say in the past threads that all of SE's enemies are different ideologies that would be opposed to democracy, but lets be honest, SE is more fascist than anythingSo what if the 4th enemy faction were a species of aliens that are genuinely democratic, with the state serving the individual, by the people for the people etc?Would SE say that they are not democratic enough and invade them anyway?

So, devs have decided on Bugs < Bots < Squids in terms of difficulty. This begs the question, what hellish bullshit will they add to the Squids? They seem easy so far

>>507510170just wait
>>507510170idk but I suspect that people will still play bugs because y'know, bugs are easy but fun and everything else partially lacks that in such an amount that it effects most peoples enjoyment of the game.

You realize that because its a wormhole there's a chance we will get to go through it for a special mission type just like old Meridia, right? Also the squids probably had dealt with or are still handling a planet full of bugs.

>>507519549Arty and Sam sites are dumb. Arty is mostly just a reason to bait out and fight patrols, but on squids they dont patrol like the other factions, so its never an interesting fight, the shots themselves are almost always useless as well. SAM sites are the opposite problem, there is never a fight to be had activating them, and once turned on they actively reduce the number of things to shoot at, lowering overall fun to be had.

>>507520048The sites would be better if you encounter SEAF crews operating them who are attacked by enemies.For arty it would be great to have more munition types and more shells lying around in general.Precision ammo that targets elite enemies similar to the one laser stratagem.Cluster to mine a large area.Gas shells.
Cadet here, have unlocked up to suicide mission. Fought everyone but the squids at this point.What sort of stuff works good on them?
>>507520567ALL OF THEM
>>507520687Medium pen or higher, or something with a high rate of fire to break open their shell.They're pretty easy to fight so just try stuff out.
>>507520687For squids you want something with a big/infinite magazine size, plus something with medium penetration. It's crowd control and then taking down a few heavies.
>>507520687Lightning stuff is good all around vs squids
>>507520687LMG if you have an armorpen primary otherwise MMG.Autocannon is jack-of-all-trades against squids.
>>507520687Shooting at them works a little too well
>>507520687The MG-43 rips through the entire faction.
>>507520567steeled vets is still one of the best value, 3 guns that each have their own niche.
>>507517162Was it not a form of terrorism?
>>507520567Steel vets, cutting edge, and dem demolition are the big three to get first. Then polar patriots and the new urban one. The rest are more gimmick focused.
>>507521225Is it invoking a feeling of terror in the people? Are the commons afraid to go outside and have someone like Luigi shoot them dead? No. The only people afraid here are the elites, and they deserve no sucker. They already lobby the government to do whatever the fuck they want and avoid accountability for their systemic murder of the commons.
>>507518921thats probably what they want, they want to cause chaos
>>507520567Despite what everyone else is saying, you should get the newest Urban one. The anti-tank emplacement is fun and powerful and is the best value of anything in any of the warbonds, not to mention you also get some other stuff like the flame turret.

maybe the burgers will finally go back to class warfare instead of this current retarded race/sexuality warfarehelldivers
>>507522006The reverse happened in 2014.Movements like Occupy Wallstreet were subverted by retarded fringe politics to distract people. The big banks did not like the common man focusing on them. I am not a commie, actually far from it, but these elites tricked the left into believing that straight while male privilege was a thing when being rich trumps every other form of privilege combined easily.

I've always liked the idea of a game where you can operate some kind of heavy artillery or aircraft to give support to ground troops a la PlanetSide 2, I remember doing the prison break heist on GTAV and having the airplane pilot just loop the enemy aircraft while I parked our chopper at the edge of the prison's restricted airspace and locked on-blew up every single prison guard so our guys inside didn't have to do any risky shootouts.Must've been so cool to see it from ground level.
remember to the kick car kiddies immediately.

>>507521929>wastes stratgem >spends half the game flipping and crashing and doing nothing.>alerts every enemy on the map and brings them to you.
Is there a big stigma against the guard dogs? Or are they understood as you're sacrificing better weaponry for some crowd control?
>>507528372Agreed on the elevated platform and I was on that type of planet incidentally.I really would like to see more cover-fire style stratagems and mechanics. I actually think the directional shield is a cool concept and wish it had more applications.
>>507528385The only stigma comes from their tendency to team kill. Laser dog team kills more often because of the burning. It's up to you to be courteous like you should be with turrets and make sure you're not putting it where it will shoot through someone.
>>507528385The stock guard dog is unironically one of the best bug killing tools in the game >med pen>great targeting >massive ammo pool

I'll get in a car if someone is using it and comes by me, but I don't think I'd ever bring one, nor do I think it's necessary. It seems finicky at best. But, it can be nice to tab out, I guess.

>>507524240GGs Praise be to Joel
>>507531198That spas was also utterly fucking broken as shit back in KZ2 multiplayer days. It shot something like 30 pellets in that game a single bullet resulted in instant death headshots, now you just aim in the general area of someone's head with that shotgun and one of those stray pellets hitting the head would be instant kills every time. It was busted as fuck. And even more hilarious, that shotgun was basically the class weapon of that game's "TF2 engineer" class that built sentries that also assfucked players.
>mfw airburst launcher in the level 10 drop Don't give a fuck. It's my favorite support weapon, and the cluster fire makes it so much sweeter.
>>507531761If you can actually use it to clear swarms without team killing more power to you
>>507528385Laser dog is almost always my go to, especially great now for killing voteless so I can focus on real threats

Redpill me on gas grenades. What are their best use cases for each faction?
>>507532539You have been kicked from the game.
>>507528385Generally speaking, only low-level (whether in mental acuity or in XP gained) players genuinely stigmatize or insult stratagem picks. If you're a good player with a triple-digit IQ, you'll average <1 teamkill/mission. How you effect the game beyond that should only really be positive.If people don't like your loadout or what you do, it's also trivial to walk away.The gundog is good. It's an efficiency stratagem. It saves time you'd spend on mopping up individual/scattered enemies and allows you to focus on larger groups or on objectives instead. It doesn't do much on its own, but it allows (You) to do far, far, far more. Not something you really notice until you think about it, or until you re-watch recorded gameplay.I've not noticed any real stigma against dogs. Backpackless supports can easily outperform backpack supports with a little extra effort, or with the right kinds of picks. Just play well.
>>507532729>bug breach>bugs start killing eachother and clumping up for AOE>bot brigading>Bots start shooting eachother and clumping up for AOE>Squid Surstromming >Squids start derping out and clumping up for AOEit's that shrimple. in reality there is some nuance cases with each faction, but the 9/10 use is a longer soft-cc compared to the short but hard CC of a stun grenade
>>5075325472/4>>507532729good for stalling bots trying to go through choke points, or just making them miss when they drop near you. good for yellow number go up on bugs. not as good on squids, use napalm.

>>507532729>botsFortresses, mountain passes, drops, factories, zerker lines. Lingering CC is usually much better than the stun grenade's flash CC.Works perfectly with just about any AOE support weapon.>bugs/shrug>squidsDrops, alleyways, anywhere where voteless cluster around a corner. They're squishy enough that 1-2 gas nades is usually enough to full kill all the voteless. Stunning the macetards is also more valuable than you'd think, but that's just a bonus. Essentially a better version of the fire grenade.

what do you want from the inevitable 40k crossoverspace marine armor? bolter? halberds?
what's the consensus on the sterilizer? i got the chemical warbond yesterday and actually enjoy it quite a bit. feels more fun than the flamethrower.
>>507533595baseline human equipment ONLY. autoguns, lasguns, maybe a plasma gun or human-sized bolt pistol would be cool.
>>507533595a lasgun so I can have the sickle as it should be, not the fucking ballistic weapon pretending to be a laser weapon we have
>>507532896You could always scrounge around for a support weapon or beg a teammate for a blue. Personally, I see a MG stratagem slot as a wasted slot.
>>507533627fun weapon that's undercookedsame with dogbreathsmall fixes would make them both highly usableright now the sterilizer has no strong niche, arc thrower has better CC while also having higher damage and higher range and better penetrationthere isn't much utility in short range CC and you can get all the brap you need from brapnades (the star of chemical agents) and gas strike (the ultimate wreckingball)
>>507532927For me, it's:>Gas grenades for Illuminate>Thermite grenades for bots>Stun grenades for bugs
Thinking of getting the Truth Enforcers warbond. How's the Halt?

>>507533820you're about to get a few replies from the same people who defended the constitution on day 1 insisting it was a good gun before they never used it again, and you can safely ignore them
>>507533820you need to do a swedejank solution to get the ammo to switch instantly, but once you get it working it's real fun against bugs and squiddosreprimand is good but it needs either an accuracy buff or a magsize buffloyalist is S tierthe armor is S tier if you ADS and worthless otherwise
>>507533810yeah i feel like gas nades and gas strike are both fantastic, i end up using the sterilizer when i wanna use a "cheaper" resource.i don't think it's unusable but i'm not sure what it needs to elevate it a bit. maybe more range or accumulative damage if you keep hosing enemies down.>>507533820really fun. feels like a better punisher, and you can set the fire mode to stun shots.
>>507533820I honestly think the Halt is the best shotgun in the game, if you rebind the keys. It’s not the crossbow or purifier when it comes to rape but there is a couple cool things you can do with it:You can stun chargers in the mouth or any soft spot, then follow up with an easy EAT (drop pod)/thermite/OPS.You can stun Flygots and Overseers, making it easier to one-tap them with a Senator, or get up close and one shot headshot them with med round or make it easier for your dipshit teammates to saturate fire on themIt’s not great against bots, but it’s arguably the least bad shotgun to fight that faction with.You can slam R after each shot for no reload time in between shots. Capacity is irrelevant.It’s basically a punisher with med pen—the lack of pushback becomes irrelevant when you can stun everything in place.

i dont understand how people clear d8 bugs let alone d10 man, this shit feels impossible. i just die and die and die and die and cant ever get a foothold on anything or anywhere. if i lose my weapons it's over i can't do anything. there's too many stupid bile titans and chargers and impliers
>>507536586strafing and cuck chair. any other red feels underwhelming
Did you guys dive with anyone recently? Did you enjoy it?
>>507536919Eagle strafing run kills armored impalers in a single attack. RR one-shots bile titans and chargers. Use a grenade pistol on spewers, siege ready if you want extra pistol grenades, and lib pen for everything else.
>>507536919more aoe, more bulletssometimes the team is too shit or too slow to deal with it, so you go right into the objectives and finish them instead

>>507537010>>507537125>>507537356>>507537430after writing and rewriting this post like literally 40 times another thing i can't wrap my head around is how people ever unironically recommend RR or AC or whatevereven FULLY UPGRADED they reload so. fucking. slow. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EVER GET A WINDOW TO RELOAD. you literlaly just kill one BT or whatever and then you get tonguefucked by an actual encirclement of bugs that closes in on you and you can never get the fuck away from them what the genuine fuck am i doing wrong i dont understand
>>507536919crossbow for bile spewers, commanders, and guardianssenator for anything that gets too closethermite for charges, impliers, and bile titans if need begrenade armor for more thermites stalwart for anything smaller than a spewerI'm too addicted to the supply pack but you can maybe take a gun dog or shield500s for bile titansorbital napalm for breaches
>>507537498Well first off I have a team and we're all working together When I need a reload I run around a corner and throw an incendiary grenade at the choke point to buy time
>>507537681oh no i meant solo. sorry i thought i mentioned that
>>507537498more aoe, more bulletsif you get tongue fucked, you didn't bring enough bullets or aoeif you brought something like napalm, bullet and more bullet sentries and you still get tongue fucked, you have a teammate problem or a turret placement/timing problem or w/e strats you like to bringditch the rr or ac if you don't like the reload and bring the eat instead with some other gun
>>507537498The trick with Ac is to never full empty the clip, always keep at least one bullet in the magazine that way you wint trigger the long reload animation and you'll reload in half the time it takes to reload a fully empty one
>>507537498Genuinely what are you even doingThis post makes sense for something from release month but after dozens of nerfs bugs don't even have any enemies that can kill you anymore unless you're sitting still with your headphones off and both hands up your assNot even trying to be rude, you can literally just briskly walk away from bugs and they will never kill you.
>>507536050We opened the presents yesterday. Went to our winter cottage originally built by my great-grandfather. Christmas is the one time me, my brother, father and mother come together anymore. I'm happy we have such traditions, and today I'm diving without a care in the world.
>>507536919All I do is d10. Bugs sucks, but it's very doable. Unfortunately, you usually need at least two guys with RR or something similar because of the Titans and chargers. Personally, I use gas grenades in nearly every mission because spiking them at my feet has saved my ass more times than I can count. I tend to use light armor to keep moving, and have a preference to the explosive resistance and anti-recoil, though the new primary ammo/reload armor is quickly rising. My primary varies, but secretly I love the Liberator Concussive because it saves my ass from stalkers. Half a mag + grenade pistol is a clean kill. Example Loadout >Light Armor >Liberator Concussive or Crossbow or Plas Punisher >Grenade Pistol >Gas Grenades >Eagle Strafe or 5kg >Orbital Gas >120mm Barrage or Napalm Barrage or Gatling Turret >RR or Airburst or Laser Cannon >>507537498What the other anon said combat reloading isn't that bad as long as you can clear space or use a grenade effectively. Hell, the most cinematic moments are when you finish a reload, slap a few bugs in the face with your rocket launcher, then blast a titans head off with it.
>>507537706Yeah that's different solo requires a ton of minmax I personally would rather go in with the boys because it's a great game to shoot the shit on and engage in shenanigans while also facing challenge and using our brains
>>507537806Kicking this retard for spending a half hour running around the map from bugs and not actually getting anything done.
>>507537498just a tried and true, git gud (if you want, no one's forcing you to do this)
>>507537706>soloim sorry to say, but the game wasn't meant for solo playsure you can do it, there's a resident solo autist who posts webms showing off every now and thenbut the real catch is that solo needs a lotta gamey bullshit, because while the game is technically 'easier' on solo, the power and speed boost having 3 other bodies on the board is way better than the downsides of the difficulty increase the game does to compensate
>>507537706Yeah... don't play solo. The game isn't balanced for that, and all the shitlords screaming otherwise are dumb and friendless.The game is significantly more fun if you run through with a team of four. Even when playing with randoms.
>>507537010The RR reloads in what, 3 seconds? Just do it whenever.
>>507537706Well, if you're playing co-operative game alone, you cut your firepower down to 25%. Is it a surprise you're struggling? "I keep dying and dying what the fuck am I doing wrong? Why is this so difficult?! Playing with my eyes closed btw."

>>507537903lol is this where you just start making up some schizo headcanon about me based on literally nothing bugs are shit, face it, they're too slow and weak for an enemy that relies on meleeyou can clear the map with the basic LMG and a machine gun sentry and the only real danger comes from teammatesI've seen people rack up a dozen deaths to bugs in a mission and it's because they're just sprinting into a bug blob then standing still for no reason while these lazy geriatric crab creatures waddle over to them and stab them to death

Stop input scramblers & blocks out some visual/audio effects like screen fade at low health and stim highs,technopathy bypasses weather’s effects on stratagems? Idk, what else it can do. It’s a space magic booster and could do anything.
>>507538375>>507538001Isn't soloing just throwing barrages and running away? I've seen full clear 10s where they don't even bother bringing a support weapon.
Guys, I think I'm finally getting used to using the Wasp against non-squids.>shoot at shit from max range, where they don't even know you're there>only focus on the targets that will fuck you up if you let them live, go for Heavy Devastators and Rocket Striders over Berserkers>don't even try to kill Hulks and Tanks unless it's an emergency, they take two full reloads and it's not worth it>have a plan to fight enemies at close range, you've sunk your support weapon slot into a weapon that sucks at close range so the rest of your loadout needs to compensate>always explore POIs because you need the fucking ammoI have to say, it's pretty nice to be able to see a teammate 150 meters away running away from a swarm of Devastators, and then pick them off one by one. It just sucks that your odds of actually hitting said Devastator is somewhere in the 70% range.
>>507538375>those ppl are genuinely on an entirely different level. i dont understand how they do iti've done it myself too to see if I could, it was not fun, but as I said you need to be comfortable with learning and then breaking the game's systems or just doing unfair things if you're starting out on attempting to soloing them>spawn breaking>standing on spots the devs obviously didn't intended you to stand on, i.e on top of really tall things>never interacting with breaches outside of running from them and despawning them, HD1 solo runs also do this a lot of the time I remember looking up solo runs to see if anything changed from when I did them, but all I learned is that most sloptubers 'solo' them by full clearing and waiting the timer out so they don't have to get swarmed at extract, which I felt was a bit too far>>507538613that works too, you just need to get used to it, it might also work for 4 man 5 minute speed runs i've seen recently
>>507538809>Autocannon with extra steps
WASP-Anons, I need your expertise.When teamreloading WASP, there's a good 1-1.5 second delay after the mag is emptied before teamreloading starts. If you attach yourself just as the magazine is empty, the teamreload however starts instantly. Is there a way to fix this? It sucks having to redock constantly.(Secondly: any known fix to the bug when teamreloading suddenly breaks for the entire team? Dying or dropping equipment doesnt work)
>>507515238I don't.Explain.
Lobby? It's Christmas :)
Don't like using the Lib penetrator or the DCS on bots, bullets feel weak what do I use
>>507539304sickle
>>507539304Jar 5, you need to lead the shots though since it's bullets are slow as shit
>>507539304>DCS>bullets feel weakthere is no hope for you
>>507539304Aim better and take the defender pill
>>507539246nta, but here goes>decay is how much lib you lose an hourthis turns into so many more questions that I'll try heading off>lib/hr is based on the % of pop, used to be .08% per 1% of pop, now it's somewhere between .08% and .1% per 1% pop>above is efficiency, which is based on a lotta shit, but basically how much dmg we do in an hour per pop%, soft capped due to IM>IM is based on dmg instances per 30 min window>Winning and Losing an Op does dmg, so those shitters who fail a mission and the op, does less than an entire Ops worth of dmg and make efficiency worse, so do the people on low pop planets or people extracting constantly on d1 missionsSo if you somehow care about bringing those numbers up>join shitter lobbies and carry them instead of doing your own with all sweat boys, they can handle themselves if they're really that good>go to the popular planet to speed it up so decay has less time/hourly ticks to stall out the liberation>host so the brainlets who only know how to hit quickplay from the galactic map will end up on your planet and contribute to the already popular planet
>>507538937AC ain't accurately hitting shit past 50 meters, much less killing in one shot. Also, only has AP4.

>meridia wormhole of illuminate bullshit is squarely in bug space how will this impact the battle map? Will they just shift the illuminate down into their "slot" like nothing happened OR will the brap cloud become the illuminate base of operations, a near-limitless bugfarm to power their warmachine while the bugs themselves are splintered, eventually reforming down in the bottom of the map?
>>507539304scorcher
>>5075419123
the truth is that Arrowhead rushed out the Illuminate stuff out the door to make it in time for the Game Awards, they haven't actually made all the Illuminate stuff yet. they only have the zombies, overseers and tripods, everything else is still in development. the meridian blackhole thing is just to buy time for them and will remain a nothingburger in the foreseeable future.
>>507528385laserdog aim like a mongoloidgundog run out of ammo fastbrapdog is a joke

>>5075429054
>>507542606They did the same thing with the other plot points. The only plot device that felt somewhat complete was the TCS and even then one of the missions was completely broken and there were weird delays to the next stage.Gloom has just kind of been there for months doing nothing
>>507542606Yeah this feels like they tease stuff to buy time throughout the entire development, like they had cars randomly available for people to test that was filly functional months before they were officially released. Tho I gotta admit all the recent stuff has reignited my urge to play the game again
>>507543413>like they had cars randomly available for people to testthey didn't. any cars that showed up before the illuminate were spawned in by hackers, not devs
>>507543539thats actually not true
>>507543659>have hackers spawning in various clearly broken and unfinished shit>somebody spawns in a car without the MG and broken textures>IT"S THE DEVS NOT HACKERS BELIEVE ME!nah, devs don't drop into random fucking games to give people free previews.
>>5075429055
Why doesn't the eyes glows? Even when it's dark?>just enable bloomalready have it enabled
>>507542606I do really feel like we should have been getting dripfed more units as the event's gone on, but I also sort of figure this is just them publically playtesting what Illuminate are like on various kinds of biomes since they keep showing up all over the place.Dunno if that wide open snow plains planet was actually a "new" layout, since ice planets are almost always pretty glacial with tons of hellbombs stuck into the sides of mountains, but it was a nice change of scenery desu.

>>507542606>Only one out of four of the illuminate units have a shield >No mega nest/fortress equivalent >Missing a commander, flyer, etcYeah this adds up. I wish difficulty 8+ gave overseers shields at least but this is good for now I guess.
>>507545980if it feels like you've got eggs inside your abdominal cavity you dont. just ignore that feeling
>>507545983i'm waiting to see if the increased roster is hard enough to scare the power fantasy players back into picking bugs again instead of swarming the squid planets
>>507545983The grounded overseers DO have a personal shield on their left arm that they can put up but its easy enough to just shoot them in the legs or dome their head with medium pen before they even get a chance, really hoping we get more fully-shielded units soon enough.
>>507546128im confused enough to ask, who tf are you replying to

>>507546574There's two in the slop shop but they're both ugly
>>507540054wutgiga skill issue lmao, it's among the most precise weapons in the game, there's a reason people call it the better AMR
>>507522310Wasp is super fun, but the fact that your rockets can't reliably oneshot devs (especially heavy devs, when they hit the shield) kinda sucks. Also artillery mode is just kinda trash

>>507525181Sure, but much more slowly, subject to aiming inconsistency by getting pegged with enemy shots, and without the ability to kill the lights around those mediums as free collateral.Rail has the advantage of a free backpack slot, Wasp has the advantages listed above. I love having options.
>do urban night mission>literally can't even see my own characterthey did not test this
>>507552913have you tried not being black?
Oh wow, a whole zero medals and 1.How generous.
>>507552913Night missions are awesome and actually require a flashlight which is how it should be
>>507553023It's the WASP, bruv.
>>507553167it isn't a problem on other planets, urban missions specifically are just so poorly lit
does commando one shot squids?
so what's the verdict on wasp, is it actually good?
>>507551282Closest my southern hemisphere-living ass is gonna get to a cold christmas
>>507553619Yes. On every faction.So long as not everyone brings it. It fills the samd niche as the Rail and AMR: deleting high value mediums en masse.
Why the fuck are the servers so bad, it's been weeks since the squids dropped and AH still hasn't fixed shit
>>507553619I'm having a lot of fun with the artillery feature. The burst mode is really hit and miss on actually killing things
>>507552516I accept your concession
>>507552218consoleape cope

>>507553742>we're probably never going to get a man-portable support weapon mortar because of the artillery mode on the wasp
>>507553730>mediumsSo it doesn't kill impalers chargers or titans efficiently?
>>507554056complete joke against anything big
>>507553619Auto-aim Grenade Launcher with backpack and almost infinite range. I like it, Artillery mode sometimes feels wasteful since it consumes everything left in the canister. YMMV.Some people are very mad that it doesn't one-shot BTs and Factory Striders and are saying shit like "why would I bring this over RR? why does it even have a backpack if it can't oneshot them???" and these are "people" you should just ignore forever.
We got the WASP yesterday, what the FUCK did we get today?
Things that do more damage than the autocannon>impact grenades>the crossbow>charged purifier>the AMR>the Senator
>>507554130"it's okay / I can make it work" =/= "it's good enough and doesn't need changes"just another weapon that will exist unloved and in the shadow of superior options
I'm a simple man, RR for bugs, AMR for botsayys remain to be seen, the current roster is such a joke you can bring anything
>>507554475goes to show that being S tier depends on more than raw damage
For me it's the stock liberator and frags on bugs
>>507554475Very nice, now lets see the durable damage.
>>507554937He's too brown to even know what durable damage is
>>507554438I think yesterday the wasp was available as a free call-in within missions. Now we were given actual the stratagem to select in loadouts.
>>507553619It feels like the kind of weapon you'd bring if you wanted a Commando that wasn't expendable, not really efficient at killing heavies on its own raw damage thought it can, at the least, open up weak spots on them to take them out with other tools, but excels at wiping out buildings or annoying medium enemies in quick succession. It's VERY good at what it does, but whether what it does is good in the first place is the point of contention, so you decide if that sort of niche is worth bringing to a mission.Personally I think its a ton of fun if you treat it like a mix of a Grenade Launcher and Commando and accept that you'll need to bring other heavy-deleters or just put in a lot more effort to get the right angles for weak spots on bots, or to crack armour on bugs and even then realise where it hits is outside of your control beyond a certain extent since its a lock-on weapon.

>peak crowd control>peak durable damage>peak explosive damage>peak structure removal>peak ammo reservebut it's le bad for some reasonis it a backpack user thing? who even uses backpacks
>>507555787It's a spear mixed with an airburst in one setting, or a speak mixed with the commando in the other setting. It doesn't do either job all that well. It feels like an answer to a question nobody was asking.Though a single canister can take out turrets from afar, which is useful, I guess... a rather niche use case, though.
>>507556906Just for having flak mode it's incredibly fun. But backpacks are important. Supply pack is S tier.

>>507556906It's just AMRjeets having an episode again, it is proven they all have this weird inferiority complex when it comes to the AC, they let it live rent free inside their heads for some reason, as in habitually comparing the AMR to the AC and shits their diaper when gets told to fuck off
>>507557367Man, I actually like AMR, but it needs an upgrade or two. It's a complete mystery to me why saying that triggers other AMR users.

>>507557720the AMR have actually gone through 3 buffs and it can't even hold the candle for the AC, a weapon that never received a single buff, that's how fucking trash it is, it's basically just a glorified Diligence counter sniper. AMR is the shitter cope weapon for pussy ass retards who finds the AC to be "too difficult to use due to the slow ergonomic and can't reload while on the move", don't want to be in the frontline, to stand their ground and fight and jetpack away the moment they get shot. Every single time I see someone picking the AMR, I just automatically assume they are useless, which 9 times out of 10, are correct.
>>507558845it's a sad thing but I've observed that behavior plenty of times myselfsomeone didn't give AMR users the memo that, while IRL snipers are indeed feared & respected badass elite killing machines, video game snipers are the polar opposite

Damn shame, I used to love taking this to bots back when it was one of the only effective supports against them.
>>507538548Mortar shotgun could be a strategem. Archon staff sounds fun as fuck. Sectoid wrist laser would be cool. Instead of mind control, it could be a Psi-Lance. The Vipers wait by your cryo pod and you can call one down to help you. I think the mikd shield booster could be a passive or booster, maybie it prevents satus effects like blindness and such

>>507558356I've always thought of it like comparing the Scythe to the Liberator, except for the Laser Cannon to the MG43. More reliance on hitting weak spots on the user's part to take advantage of its damage values in exchange for (technically) infinite ammo and the LC's higher armour pen. At least with the launch version of the weapons it seemed that way, but now it might be more apt to compare it to the HMG since they both got buffed to be able to brute force heavies.I suppose its "niche" is just being an alternative playstyle for a weapon type.
steam://joinlobby/553850/109775244255738143/76561198043806764D10 anything
>>507561235That was actually the intention originally, the LCS being a laser version of the MG, but the fanbase didn't know and wanted it to be an armor puncher. So they tried rebalancing it for that role and in my opinion still haven't quite gotten it right.

>>5075612643/4, one diver had to take a shit
>>507561445Yeah its weird, I appreciate buffs to it but the armour pen increase didn't really... do anything for it? At the most you could argue it makes it "feel better" when you aren't landing hits on a weakspot since you get the reduced damage hitmarker instead of a deflection and you know you're still doing SOME damage, but that still doesn't really change how its meant to be used like a pinpoint laser-sniper.Granted, if most other support weapons got the armour pen increase and the LC didn't I imagine that would feel as equally bad in the opposite direction now that still getting some damage off became the standard, so I can't really complain, its just funny to think about.
>>507561445The AP buff was the wrong thing to do. It's outclassed by the MMG because the LC doesn't have enough DPS.Now at AP4 it's outclassed by the AC, AMR, and HMG because the LC doesn't have enough DPS.
>>507560478Rest assured my aim is multitudes better than yours has any hope to be. AC > AMR.
