New Helldivers 2 update
>>
we don't care, nigga
>>
>>730738025
Are they really going to release this garbage? Its literally as bad as the steriliser warbound nothing in it is usefull at all.
>>
how much is total cost now with all these warbonds?
and have there been any sales for them?
>>
>>730738751
They're overhauling stealth soon, makes sense to release a stealth based warbond to go with that
>>
>>730738025
stealth and sabotage things got me interested
not hopeful, but interested
>>
>>730738025
Oh boy, more assault rifles I'm sure will be ass on launch. Or failing that, will be marginally okay THEN be made ass afterwards.
>>
>>730738983
It wont work anon you know damn well if you played the game that the moment you hurt a single enemy the entire map starts going after you, and im not even counting the multiple patrols spawning in a 200 m radius around you.
>>
>>730738751
If the C4 pack is like C4 in HD1 then it will be good.
>>730738857
Premiums cost 1000 super credits, they all (so far) have 300 super credits in them. Legendary cost 1500 and have no super credits in them.

Though it is extremely boring, it is actually pretty easy to grind for super credits on difficulty. Take the AMR to blow up crates quick without exploding barrels around them, the warp pack to enter 2 man bunkers, and the FRV to drive around quick. Leave as soon as you hit the POIs, any super credits (plus medals and reqs) that you found you keep even if you don't finish the mission. Load up and do it again. If you don't have the warp pack you can glitch through 2 man bunkers with a mech, but it just takes longer.
>>
>>730738025
Cool. Can they update the game so it doesn't include 1440p and 4k assets with the base install? I'm not installing this game again while it takes up 130gb for no fucking reason. It's 25gb on PS5.
>>
>>730739180
>grind for super credits on difficulty
On difficulty 1 i.e. the lowest difficulty.
>>
>>730739282
They already did that you fucking tard. its the same on PC, and has been since the update that applied itself to PC, ps5 and xbox.

The very first Warbond was free and gave enough currency to buy another one. There are 17 normal warbonds including this new one. But each one gives you a little currency that you can spend on another Warbond. So, in total, you only need to buy 11 warbonds, each costing $10. There are also two ‘Legendary Warbonds’ that cost $15 and do not give currency but they only have cosmetic items.
Or you can just play the game and save up for everything yourself. I have all the warbonds except for Killzone, and I've never bought anything in the game.
>>730739282
They literally did that in the latest update.
>>
>>730739282
They had some opt-in thing on steam you have to manually select to use the small install version. It's in "beta testing" or something, but you should have access to it.

I haven't bought any warbond. Is there a must-have weapon in one of them?

I feel like I don't have anything that can put a dent in high-armor enemies beyond spamming with the grenade launcher.
>>
>>730738857
it's free if you make it your part time job to grind premium bucks :))) (this is what the shills will tell you)
>>
>>730739515
Explosive one is the best overall. Science one is essentially a must-have if you want to farm currency quickly.
>>
>>730739515
You should get the one with the warp pack in it. Not only is the warp pack good for traveling long distances and getting out of shitty situations (like the jet pack), it can also get you into 2 man bunkers. This lets you grind for super credits exponentially more which will enable you to get even more warbond.
>>
>>730739601
Explosive and Laser one still the best for general use and were also some of the first released. Everything after has maybe one or two things worth while but the rest is usually kind of crap.
>>
>>730739492
Sure thing cunty, the game works exactly how you imagine, never play it you wont like it.

>>730739601
>if you want to farm currency quickly
How does it affect that?
>>
>>730739415
>Or you can just play the game and save up for everything yourself.
You literally can't, sadly. The last 20 hours of gameplay have been farming credits in diff 1. After that I am way too burned to play again. I haven't played a real game in 4 months. This has ruined the game for me. I don't even get enough medals to complete the warbonds I buy because I can't be arsed to play more after farming all those credits.
They desesperatly need to give credits for high lvl mission competion. I know it's in discussion and I hope they do something about it.
>>
>>730739119
Yeah retard, hence them overhauling stealth to change that

Read >>730739180

>>730739687
I'm guessing he's talking about the teleport backback, which allows you to move around quickly and teleport into bunkers.
You can also get inside bunkers by getting in a mech, placing your back against the door and dismounting and clipping through the door.
>>
>>730739180
>the warp pack to enter 2 man bunkers
Holy, that's so useful for solo farming.
>>
>>730739721
ok anon just wait and see.
>>
>farming SC
just how little do you value your own time? how long does it take you to grind 10 dollars worth?
and no I don't support paying for the bonds either, I just don't play shit games
>>
>>730739687
You can go into the bunkers alone.
>>730739718
???
I own all the warbonds (except for one killzone) and it's more than reasonable. Literally just 4-5 hours of farm before the new warbond comes out is enough, maybe a little more if you also want the item shop. This is literally nothing compared to actually farming heavy games.
>>
>>730739865
>You can also get inside bunkers by getting in a mech, placing your back against the door and dismounting and clipping through the door.
Yeah but this is slow as hell and sucks if there is more than one and you are on mech cooldown. Everyone who doesn't plan to pay money should just get the warp pack warbond sooner rather than later. I normally kick people who don't have warp packs from my grinding games, too, because you're dead weight.

What? There's a trillion options for that that aren't locked behind warbonds, take the spear, expendable anti tank, recoilless rifle, auto cannon, railgun, rocket sentry, auto cannon sentry, 90% of available airstrikes, etc.

For good anti armor in warbonds get democratic detonation and thermite grenades. They stick to an enemy and burn for about 7 seconds dealing decent damage and then explode dealing shitloads of damage, can even one shot bile titans sometimes if theyre well placed. Stick them to the enemy and run.

not that long when you install the mod that shows every SC on the map so you can run to them then quit out of the mission
>>
>>730738983
hey I remember this one
they said they would "rework" fire mechanics right before they released the immolation warbond
the "rework" was a nerf to all fire mechanics
>>
>>730740160
>auto cannon
This isn't anti-tank. Yeah you can take out some weak points on tank-like enemies such as the hulk, but so can the senator pistol.
>>
>>730739982
Buying it with real money is probably the worst option. You still have to play the game to unlock it.
>>
>>730738025
When will they release something that can compete with double edge sickle? I refuse to use any primary that has limited ammo and I am locked into fire resistant armor to make sickle comfy too. Also grenades that doesn't suck ass please?
>>
>>730740534
I consider stuff like Hulks tanks. The toughest of enemies like actual tanks and factory striders COULD be dealt with with the spear or recoilless rifle but it'll usually take so much of your ammo that airstrikes are always better
>>
>>730740838
hulks have mainly tank armor, so they are tanks. factory striders also have heavy armor segments, but are mainly tank armor.
>>
>>730739515
The only truly ‘anti-tank’ thing in Warbonds is that rocket emplacement but it's overkill 99% of the time. Just take EAT in addition to your usual equipment, it will be more than enough for your anti-tank needs.
>>
>>730740998
You can reliably take down hulks with an auto cannon with practice, its a perfectly reasonable choice for fighting them. If they're really giving you trouble take either the spear or the recoilless rifle. The spear has lock on and can take out targets at absurd range, including bot factories, but it has a minimum range, so you can't use it on hulks that sneak up on you. Recoilless rifle has no minimum range(other than point blank which will blow you up obviously) but it takes some practice to get good at engaging distant or moving targets with it
>>
>>730739540
>6 hours of grinding once every 6 weeks is equivalent to a part time job
Its totally acceptable to argue that 6 hours of monotonous grinding is retarded rather than being rewarded the premium currency by simply playing the game normally. But acting like its some insurmountable chore is silly.
>>
>>730740838
>but it'll usually take so much of your ammo that airstrikes are always better
It's one rocket.
>>
>>730741298
You're not talking to the same anon that was complaining about anti tank. Was just saying you the autocanon is heavy and not anti tank pen. Thanks for the basic bitch advice, though.
>>
>>730741359
frontally a tank will take two recoilless rifle shots iirc, and a factory strider will take nearly a full backpack, especially if you have to destroy the guns on it to keep it from retaliating.
>>730741435
I could have sworn autocannon had heavy pen, i guess i just havent used it in a while. But still with some practice you can shoot the eyes out of hulks, it gives you enough ammo and fire rate for it
>>
>'stealth' warbond
Lol lmao
>>
>>730741557
Autocannon does have heavy pen, just not anti tank pen. I'd rather just use my sentator against hulks than the autocannon. Autocannons is for chaff clearing though it can work decently on weak spots. AMR is much better for that.
>>
>>730741557
>and a factory strider will take nearly a full backpack
Also this is wrong advice. you just have to hit the factory strider in the top part of the head and other weak spots. Stop giving bad advice and information, you don't know exactly what you're talking about.

I'm giving idiot proof advice, if this guy had good reliable aim he wouldn't be here asking for advice to begin with. Plus with the spear you cant aim for anything but the body and the weapons. I super helldive with the spear all the time and its not reasonable to use just it against factory striders unless you have plenty of distance and a resupply available.

Also for what it's worth, the wiki actually had great information that the game leaves out/hides. My advice would be to look up enemies on that if you really have a question.

The game should have an in-game enemy glossary like in HD1, as well.
>>
>>730741960
I own all warbonds and none of it is necessary. I still run with basic gear and clear the most bases and get the most kills

Cry more, do chores for money
>>
>>730742170
spear can effortlessly clear entire bot fortresses from 300 meters away while running and evading enemy fire, recoilless cant do that.
>>
>>730738025
Until stealth gets an overhaul this will probably be the first geniunely useless Warbond.
>inb4 XYZ
Most if not all Warbonds got buffed enough that none are usless.

Police Warbond is the worst one and it still has okay armor passives and the literal strongest drone in the game.

>>
>>730742513
Also if you are a shill. Take it back to arrowhead that supercredits should be given to top contributes of major orders. It would increase player engagement and give me a reason not to grind.
>>
>>730741557
All wrong.
A recoilless Rifle is the strongest weapon against bots precisely because, with a bit of aiming and knowledge, it's a single rocket per enemy in the entire roster.
Factory Striders are a bit tricky because you need to hit it straight in the eye (located on the right side of its head). Made easier now that First-Person-Aiming now actually works as one would expect.
War Striders are also slightly tricky as you need to hit in the dick or legs.

And if you have completed your sample-grind you get a full backpack on resupplies meaning you can take out a whooping 6 heavies per resupply.

>farming
just play the game naturally and start with shit gear and eventually buy things you like with the currency you gained. If you're forcing yourself to farm currency that's on your mentality. You easily could have just played the game instead of considering it a grind at all. If you want those currencies be the teammate who pushes to complete more objectives and carry the team. If you can't manage on your own then you should stick to teammates until you get better gear. I mean if you want to pay money to unlock things you can get for free it's like paying a hooker instead of finding a wife: you're approaching the matter fundamentally from a position of desperation and fomo which companies are taking advantage of by charging you to unlock things quicker instead of adding fun cheat codes to the game

Democratic Detonation is significantly better than any other warbond. It gives you the two best primaries in the game, a secondary that can close bug holes and fabricators, and it gives you an extremely useful grenade. It's not even close, it's absolutely the number one priority with super credits.

With that warbond, you just way more versatility in your loadout options.

I tried the revolver and was disappointed by how the bullets don't go where I'm aiming. Is the blicky from Polar Patriots any better or is the secondary weapon slot just the grenade launcher slot?

Did they fix the crashes? Last patch made the game hard crash my computer every time, was doing the same to my buddy too, I was worried about hardware damage so I uninstalled it until they fix
If they're adding shit before dealing with that the game isn't going to be popular for long
