Disgraceful Retreat Edition>Previous>>558076842>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 crossplay, co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC, PS5 and XBox Series X/S where players fight against hordes of alien insects, robots and squids to Spread Democracy™. Players wage war on contested planets, each with a different biome, completing as many objectives as possible in a procedurally generated level while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful missions, a planet can be defended or liberated, and the player base must combine their efforts as much as possible to Liberate™ the galaxy.https://store.steampowered.com/app/553850/HELLDIVERS_2/https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers-2/https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/helldivers-2/9mx9wn9dfpgt>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is a shared screen top-down shooter in the same setting.

WE LOST BECAUSE SWEDES HATE THEIR PLAYERS AND (YOU), AS CONSUMERS, SHOULD NEVER BUY A GAME FROM SWEDES EVER AGAIN
>>558108837I'm just glad we managed to get the SEAF out so it wasn't all bad. It would've really fucking sucked if we had failed even that.
You could have this, Helldiver.
>>558109092>Chinese bootleg robutt
>>558109084Pretty sure lost more Helldivers destroying that Megafactory than the number of SEAF soldiers saved.

>>558109327Who's the fodder now, hellsissy?
>>558109429I really do wish they'd re-issue Ambassador of the Brand outside of pre-order only shit just to be able to get a bit of that SEAF support feel to my comrades on the field.
>>558109429>Wouldnt be alive if the Helldivers didnt save them
>>558106902I like the loyalist. It is a convenient pocket answer to gunships and "OOPS, all bile spewers!!!" Does good damage to fleshmobs as well. The talon may fit into more loadouts, but loyalist is viable.>>558102617Good games.
>>558109429that helldiver brings the supply pack to the yard
I wish that the swedes would give us sidearm customization. I want to paint my guns helldiver black+yellow. Same for the armor too. I crave bacon apples.

Peace between Super Earth and the Automatons!
>>558109829Will be 10 more years. Leakers haven't found any weapon camos at all for secondaries but armors using the weapon camos have been in the game files since launch. Remember the tribal armor for Dust Devils? That was leaked since launch and it took 1 year for it to come out and it was recolored to piss yellow. There were ancient leaks mentioning ammo longer barrels for the senator but no models or anything.

>>558109925I'm just glad the gatling sentry didn't merc anyone. I meant to bring MG sentry but clicked the wrong one. I could feel it trying to kill me and E4.I really wish that we had a favorites/stratagem loadout system. The menu is starting to get awfully cluttered. Every time that I take laser cannon or quasar, I second guess whether or not I'm picking the right one. Same for when I want commando but sometimes accidentally click spear.
I forgot what I used to actually take on bot missions...
>>558108972>>558108912Waiting on (you) to catch on that Super Earth is satire of American imperialism, and the entire campaign will be about (you) slowly losing, because America doesn't deserve to win.
>>558110057I don't even care about functional addons like longer barrels and shit, even though that would be a trivial addition for an indie working on the game by himself. Just let me paint the stuff black and yellow.
>>558110241Whether we deserve it or not, we will win

how angry will the swedes be when the US invades iran
>>558110529>8 February 2024They are definitely regretting missing the opportunity to make Super Earth a federation, where one part is clearly dominant and more politically relevant, and have their leader/representatives start clowning on the rest for little gain, resulting in debuffs for (you).
the game is actually very boring after having to gitgud through that massive difficulty spike
>>558110647Not as angry as I'll be. Bombing people without starting a war is Orange Man's specialty, and I'll be exceptionally disappointed if he fucks it up.
Can someone recommend some good mods to try out? Quality of life ones I mean. I saw someone advertising one that gives sentries that Team Fortress 2 *BEEP* before they start mag dumping, and I've seen a few that give sights with ranged points of aim for the EAT/RR/leveler.

>>558110385SE is the globohomo in HD2. They aren't even being subtle about it. Israeli tavors instead of the British SA80 for their standard issue rifle. SEAF is literally discount UN blue and the helldivers no longer have older british accents but young kids that are using American English. They even parodied the Oct 7th attack with the fake music event being attacked by the Illuminates
>>558110921full
I see people taking this games lore way too seriously, lemme just set the record straight. Super Earth is evil, like Actually evil. I know its crazy, but bear with me. They are every single authoritarian regime trope rolled into one satirical caricature of a government. The game cannot stop screaming in your face just how evil they are. The only people who cannot read the satire are autists, which compromise a large portion of the playerbase (as well as Arrowhead themselves). Every single problem, every enemy faction...is caused by Super Earths shenanigans.Now (you), the player, the Helldiver...are NOT evil. You are simply a soldier -a grunt, one might say- fighting to spread Freedom and Democracy to those in need. Helldivers, and by extension (you), are good people who more often than not, do the right thing. Its just that you also fight for a very evil government.
Moments before disaster
>>558110853https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/1034https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/1076heavy units and chaff remastered, help fix some of the dogshit mixing especially for heavies and chaff like the bug
>>558111032how are individuals not evil and confirmed good when you're outright saying the envelope of their entire world is completely evil? that's retarded and you're a dumbass
>>558108781My suspicion is that E710 has psychic properties which is why the bugs have so much in their bodies and responsible for how warp technology is even possible. I doubt Super Earth high command would want to accidentally give their citizens psychic connections.
Now that the MO is over, let's talk about ideas for stratagems and/or weapons that could make the meta more fun, though more revolutionary ideas are not unwelcome.Tactical Mine Layer: Stratagem support weapon with an ammo backpack. Give it a 4-round magazine, and 5 reloads from the backpack. You can deploy mines in the precise place you aim at, the mines arm after 7-8 seconds so you can't just drop them in the middle of a fight and have to place them pre-emptively, and the mines auto-detonate after three minutes so there are no worries about leftover clutter. Compared to minefield stratagems, you can place them more discretely and as sparse/dense as you want, the flexibility of planting smaller minefields without a cumbersome cooldown makes it worth the support weapon and backpack slots.Firing mode allows you to swap it between anti-personnel and anti-tank modes. Anti-personnel mines have about the same performance as the existing stratagem, while anti-tank mines are about half as strong as the stratagem version with a smaller explosive radius. Anti-tank mode is AP5 and 30 demo force, so you can makeshift stick it to a spawner to blow it up.
botpill me on the laser cannon
>>558111032your media literacy is off the fuggen charts!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>5581109641 was GWOT jingoism turned up to 12 or 13, and yes, with a big British filter layered on top (fucking tea-drinking limeys). That was what made the wink wink nudge nudge work so well, because it was kinda right. It's a lot less funny in 2 because it's way too right. And I bet you AH couldn't even tell the difference because they aren't a part of that culture.
>>558111228Rep-80 from HD1. Since AH and their bootlickers are autistic about """realism"" and no ""space magic"" turn the healing ray into medical spray liquid that comes from stims. Basically a spray gun like the one from Resident Evil series. Obviously add the sci fi greeble shit but this game needs more support items because status effects are dogshit and the stim pistol has more sway than a laser cannon for some reason
>>558111325It's vaguely comparable to HMG. They defeat most of the same enemies via the same weakspots, but the HMG has superior DPS and the LC has better handling accuracy. You can treat the LC like a alternative primary that is good at sweeping up smaller chaff targets and capable of killing devastators/hulks with precision attacks. It's one of the more braindead easy ways to kill gunships.
>>558111464I'm hoping for a medic warbond simply because if they wanted to add the stim pack they'd have to nerf the supply pack which would make a lot of people angry and that'd be hilarious
>>558111571Rep-80 thats belt fed like the medic-gun from TF2
>>558111652angel drone that's just a gundog with a stim pistol
>>558111325LC solves the bot front until you run into war strider seed.
>>558111325Used to be really good until War Striders popped up. Tanks just aren't dangerous and Factory Striders were the only thing you couldn't kill fast. Infinite ammo let you go wherever do whatever and never worry about resource consumption.It's still fun to make loadouts centered around minimizing resource consumption but it's less "viable" nowadays.
>>558111738Eh. I dont like the idea of healing being free like that.
>>558111032>who more often than not, do the right thingIronically the devs get mad at us for this. Like Joel having a melty when we didn't start firebombing planets we already took for zero reason.
NO ONE SHOULD REGRET SAVING THE 77TH NOT EVEN THE DEVS WE DID THE RIGHT THING YOU REMAINED WHAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN HUMAN!
>>558111228>Now that the MO is over, let's talk about ideas for stratagems and/or weapons that could make the meta more fun,CRYO
>>558111948Reminds me when they were surprised that people wanted to save the orphans instead of some gas facility. I don't get why theyre obsessed with forcing us to larp as evil for no reason other than for the sake of it and then punish us when we dont play out their larp. Apparently in Arrowheads mind, youre only evil if youre just cartoonishly evil and do evil things for shits and giggles which I cant tell if theyre just stupid or it says something deeper about how Swedes see the world
>>558112116Arrowhead suffers from the same issue that many gamedevs do when presented with evil choices in that we need to actually get an edge for doing so. Vernen Wells for example the evil choice got us anti-tank mines which the community already didn't want for the meme thus saving the kids was the obvious choice. For the firebombing it was poor timing and explanation, there was no obvious gain in doing it and it was during the hack ARG which made people paranoid. So with no obvious gain in doing so(in fact many obvious losses since it was 24 hours with no DSS support) there was zero reason to do it.
If the devs wanted this game to be some wacky slapstick dying to random bullshit grunt meatgrinder fantasy, why the fuck did they put a 20 reinforcement limit into the game? This seems to go directly against the entire idea, and they've had to constantly fight with the playerbase over "not getting it" because why would you think that was the point given the game's design?
>>558111032It's funny really. If I were plopped into the Helldivers universe as a citizen I would absolutely root for Super Earth because the alternative is plain ol death. I know Super Earth is evil but that won't stop the bugs, bots, and squids from eating, chopping, or reconstituting me. The enemy faction's justifiable revenge includes going through me one way or another.
>>558112267It's the fact that evil choices in game are always dogshit and for edge lords. Devs are afraid to make the good choices harder like they are in real life while the evil options are easier.
>>558112116They are genuinely obsessed with trying to make "us" look bad. See cyberstan, where they flavor texted a ""civilian"" automaton fleet trying to escape cyberstan which the SEAFbros promptly btfo. There have no civilians, they're fucking murder robots. Just reeks of the highest tier reddit retardation.

>>558112395Exactly, turns out many people don't just choose to be evil for zero reason, especially when it offers no tactical advantage or outright is tactically bad from a war perspective.

>>558113780just use it. If you don't like the weapon, pick up someone elses primary or use a SW more suited to being a primary weapon like the mmg, HMG or laser cannon
>>558111228Orbital Lightning Strike>AP5 bolt that auto-targets like the ORC, will oneshot up to chargers/tanks. Proceeds to arc all around with AP3 mini-bolts from the impact point, NEVER going more than 30 meters from impact to give an easily seeable minimum safe distance.Taser Cannon>backpack fed arc weapon that goes full force lightning on motherfuckers, rapidly building up stun. Has a heat meter, and it never overheats like the dickle, instead of burning there is arc backlash. Works like a cross between the warrant and the blitzer with multiple continuous arc streams that lock on to targets. AP4 but bad durable damage.Area Denial Grenades>A grenade that flips up on little legs and projects a tall spire upwards when it comes to rest. When another spire is deployed within 15 meters of the first, it projects a taser fence between the two spires, zapping anything that tries to cross. Damage is low, but it builds stun really fast. Basically Wattson from Apex Legends.Taser knuckles>Secondary melee weapon with reloadable charges like the hammer. On impact it zaps the fuck out of the target and sends multiple arcs through the target to fan out behind it. Regular shitty melee weapon without a charge.
We need heavy mechsWe need assault mechsWe need more lasers, Gauss, and PPC weaponsWe need a Battletech™ collab and the Spear needs a buff

>>5581173393/10. If there'd been less support, it would have worked well as "high command fucked up, we weren't ready for this, broken arrow broken arrow". Instead, what was supposed to be a "highly dynamic" campaign consisted entirely of making things easier with no unexpected setbacks. The last-minute SEAF rescue came less as a decision crisis and more as the playerbase giving up in disgust at a mission that STILL looked impossible even after all the handouts.Having just rewatched Joel's self-fellating videos, I think he's just fucking addicted to trying to re-create Mort.

>>558117872I think you or maybe they misunderstand the playerbase. I saw a lot of replies to the fake if we lost super earth stuff they made and many were saying how that would have been an interesting outcome. I think if we end up losing Super Earth peoples reactions won't be demoralized but galvanized in their belief that the enemy is in the wrong and any act against them is justified.

>>558117339I would give it a solid 2/10, maybe 3/10>tying MO success to players dying as little as possible was the worst way it could have been implemented, especially involving deaths across all fronts and in a title update that would see a huge number of returners who would die in droves>badly explaining the "raze this planet or it'll get attacked from behind" mechanic and then punishing the players for making ill-informed choices>fucking railroading us out of taking out Aurora Bay, I'm still fucking pissed about this one>not properly balancing the Cyberstan campaign and having us take multiple days for even Autonomy, one of the smallest fucking Megafactories>trying to "save" the campaign by magically pulling reinforcement reserves out of his ass with bug/squid missions, which in turn caused less people to complete operations/missions on Cyberstan and thus caused the MO to fail>we never once saw SEAF troopers inside the Megafactories, even though it would have greatly added to the experienceThe new content is excellent. Compromise Defenses is a fun side objective, Cyborgs and Vox Engines are fun to fight, and Megafactories are fun to fight on, even with AA Emplacements everywhere and Vox spam that ultimately caused every single mission I played at D10 to wipe after completing the main objective. But the overall campaign was bullshit because we were literally being punished for the bad decisions and poor performance of other players. I was already reducing the difficulty to D9, and going only for the main objectives and skipping side objectives and bases, so that we would die less and have a better chance at winning the MO, which felt utterly wrong because what's the point of playing a mission if you aren't going to try to full clear it.

>>558117607>comically large, slow missile strat (next to no AOE, all single target damage)>M16 like (futurized) assault rifle (high capacity, low accuracy, light pen)>shoulder mounted Gallia 30MM cannon (damage between autocannon and recoiless, ungodly recoil)>Arcane 6-shot missile (actually multitargets)>armor based on the classic EDF 4 soldier (pic rel) with a face mask>converts to EDF4 wingdiver set on "lean" (I know it wouldn't happen but a man can dream)>tortoise launcher (including the retarded "drop missile 4 feet prior to launch" mechanic)
>>558117643It's made out of love for cheesy science fiction B movies. If you ever listen to the dialogue, a lot of the homages become much more obvious. But the gameplay is quite solid, there's a decent amount of power fantasy because the weapons are absurd but it's also challenging so your busted-ass weapons can only just barely win you the day.
>>558118263Tortoise would be the Vox killer.
>>558117607this shit looks so goofy but I bet it's actually more fun than HD2 which is sad.
>>558118384I wish we had radio coms in helldivers and there'd be a helldiver randomly screaming it's all lost and we're all gonna die 24/7

so what's going on on Aurora Bay?What happens when the divers take over that city?
>>558118520Good radio chatter seems like a lost art in vidya these days. Still remember that Half Life 2 had a ton of enemy reactions to what you're doing that adds a lot of character to the setting.
>>558118532what if I ripped your face off and wore it like a fucking party hat?bear killer my beloved
>>558118586Getting 95% of the way there is quite literally too subtle for that.
>>558118610nothing, bots will reclaim it overnight. it would be as if nothing you do ever matters
>>558118610If that regional impact continues planetwide well might be enough to push forward enough. Story around the web seems to be a lot are spamming d1 in order push the scale since everyone learned how the modifiers work but hard to say if it will actually make a difference especially when swedes wake up and get to the office.
>>558118610Most likely outcome, the massive 5% effective decay rate will cause us to lose ground immediately since we have less than even 40% of the active player base on the planet. Then the city gets reset, Joel throws the next MO at us, and the Jet Brigade continues to exist.>>558118772It's technically already afternoon in Sweden, albeit the weekend.

>>558119261Joel needs an excuse for why no one wants to follow his hyper specific storyline.
Squ'bai Shrine will be better.
>>558118610>+10% liberation rate>eaglemount liberated in just 2 more hoursholy shit, what is going on at eaglemount
>>558118142The more I think about it, the campaign would have been far better implemented if the lose condition were something like "We have an expeditionary fleet whose specific task is to land the SEAF soldiers on the surface and cover their advance by suppressing orbital defenses. If we lose the entire fleet, then the SEAF will be unable to make progress on the planet and we will have no choice but to retreat." And then our job as Helldivers is to try to destroy AA Emplacements and Orbital Cannons (surely there's a way to count those in the API) on top of completing missions and operations. Have the campaign HP bar represent the number of fleet vessels we have to support the SEAF, and the more missions we complete, the more bot defenses we destroy, and the more Megafactories we destroy, the less losses the fleet takes. Then players wouldn't feel so bad about dying during missions, and Joel has better control over campaign progress since it isn't reliant on returners not dying in droves because they only play the game once every few months whenever a title update happens.
>>558119646it's just a simplified display of city liberation progress>a city that gives a 20% liberation boost will be liberated in two hours which means current liberation rate is 10%/h
>>558117607Aight hear me out.>Eagle-1 custom skin>It's just Eagle-1 in a wingdiver cosplay carrying whatever ordinance you ordered to target
>>558116505thanks for coming out, frens
>>558119646GIM's at 0.016. Anyone have a display that includes city HP? Eaglemount's probably pretty small compared to the megafactories.
Holy shit what a train wreck. I'm so glad I skipped this dogshit. Bots are the worst enemies in the game.
>>558119646Joel asleep at the wheel again
>>558118610>What happens when the divers take over that city?Aurora Bay's massive +3% resistance will extremely rapidly delete the liberation boost the city will give.It will all be for nothing.

>>558121359Two weeksThat's 2 swedish years btw
>>558121053I don't mind us losing on Cyberstan, but I wish it felt more deserved. We just lost because the GM was actively sabotaging us most of the time. I used to play ttrpgs pretty often with a group of friends, and it feels like when you have an inexperienced GM who thinks it's them vs the players and becomes obnoxious because they want to "win".
>>558121529Chuds bad, mkay?We will never win if it isn't in the script.The script is redacted by a huge swigger faggot.You know where this is going?
>>558121551nice hair physics, lol
>>558117339Great event, it was a genius move to have each city have different enemy spawns.
We don't get medals?
>>558121529That's a good way of putting it. Any good GM knows that a memorable campaign is the result if cooperative storytelling, not an Us VS You mentality.
>>558122113MO medals are pointless; if you play the game to any extent, you get more medals faster than an MO gives you, even just D1 POI farming.

How would you write the story if we won at cyberstan and destroyed all the cyborg factories. Obviously joels intent was for us to lose so they could justify putting bot cities everywhere, but how to justify it if we won.

>>558120168Thematically having enemy capital like that is wrong. Super earth should be only one with capital that's center of anything. It would be better if we wipe out cyberstan. Only for it to be revealed to be ruse. Cyborgs have evacuated anything important from there. Cyberstan was there to drain resources from super earth and buy time and take atenttion away from them. Now cyborgs have established mega factories on multiple planets. You can't get rid of them just by blowing up one planet anymore.

Hulk surge and first few planets were fun and good. Then when it came time for Aurora bay. Things got off the rails. It was horible and longer it went. More horible it got. In cyberstan. New enemies and maps are fun. Little bit too many voxes. Fact that cyborg capital had nothing new in it was massive let down. You build up this March to one location and it's excatly same as last week of game. It's insane. 1 new enemy. New objectives. Even cyborg dog would be enough.
Bots have cyborgs now. Why don't they let us destroy jeets. They are gone. But now bots will fill up role jeets had. Then next year you make suprise attack by jeets. They are back. And now they have new jeets

next vehicle is a light helicopter>little bird look>two seats in cockpit, one seat on each side door>pilot has a machine gun, other guy a rocket pod, side door dudes can fire their own weapons>can go 20 meters up in the air, moves a bit slower than the jeep>light armor, pretty easy to shoot down for enemies
>>558129417No, seriously, it's fucking hilarious to me how basically everything wrong with Super Earth can be traced back to "they went to electronic voting". It's great, I love it. That it also dovetails perfectly into Joel being a prick just makes it better.
What exactly happened in last night, i.e. last 12 hours?The playerbase seems undecisive between Gatria and Aurora Bay.Aurora Bay city was swooped and yet the planet seems to be lost anyway.Gatria is struggling.Meanwhile a ripe Zzaniah Prime just begs to be taken.
Joel is NOT happy about Aurora Bay being attacked and his script being ruined.
>>558117339Literal 1/10. Death counting was insanely stupid, and the fact that Vox spam was never touched leads me to believe that this was all so Joel could jerk off over Tankie Facism-But-Red (They LITERALLY gave us a chance to go home!!!) and claim its better than Federalist Facism-But-Blue (They LITERALLY bombed robo-kids!!!)
>>558129808well too bad. joel can suck my left nut
