anyone else gettin crashes when trying to start game with dx11? send performance tips while we're at it
Any word on the next major patch, warbond, event, anything? Last patch and bond felt like 2/3rds of a full meal you were expecting. I really want them to tune up the slugger, spray and pray, liberator variants, diligence, crossbow, eruptor, purifier, scythe (pls just gib scope), arc thrower, railgun, airburst, and thermite.
>bot MO
"Yes, I use cluster bombs, how could you tell?"
>>483255212Expect a hotfix this week and if they dont break more shit in the hotfix like they did last week then probably a 4+ week wait for a patch where they go radio silent until its nearer completion like last time
xd time for THE CREEEEEEEEEEEK xdxd
>>483255212Not officially, but the leak is that the next warbond is going to be fire-themed with firefighter armors. No visuals yet, just item names.
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T LIKE THE CREEK YOU RUINED THE MAJOR ORDERAnd what do you say of the many more players who still focused on the bugs?What is that? Silence?Just what I thought, bugdiver.
>>483256017YERRR
Just a 100% factually-true reminder:If you've ever cared about what planet other people play on even slightly then you're a huge homo.
>>483256017>>483256281The real question is, is Maia open? Best bot planet by far.
>>483255212lmao
>>483256543What's so good about Maia?
Honestly at this point I just want them to spend a whole month solely working on performance/optimization fixes. There's no reason for the game to be the fps lottery that it is.
>>483256586If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's the moon planet with completely clear skies, no fog, and cool purple meteors along with a cold temperature feature that makes energy weapons way better. The bug equivalent is Fenrir III and it's my favorite planet on bugs too.
>>483256176>the MOs are railroaded who cares>Bugdivers are useless anyway I dont want them>Its a Bot MO we need to drop on this planet>What??? You ARENT DROPPING THERE?!?! You arent playing bots?!? WOWWWW NOW WE LOST THE MO GOOD JOB>I NEEDED THOSE AT MINESThen repeat every time there is a bot MO unless Joel realises maybe he shouldnt start the degrade at 2-4%
>>483256441Care about a dick down ya throat nigga
>>483255497>0 friendly fire damagegotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers
i love you flutey please fuck my wife
after 400 hours if i could still refund this game i would
>>483256675Asking one of the code monkeys to spend a weekend implementing FSR 2.2 and DLSS 3 is far too much work.it's especially funny considering their player count early on. AMD and Nvidia both would have assisted them as much as necessary to get it in faster.Fatshark uses the same engine and if they can fucking get proper upscaling into Darktide, there is no doubt that Arrowhead can do it too.
>>483257128Why? You seem to have gotten your money's worth.
>>483257296The engine is discontinued and was made by Autodesk, a company suited for engineering software and not video games.It's not something they can fix easily by just asking for NVIDIA support. The fixes to Helldivers will happen over the following decade.

If you play anything besides difficulty 18 illuminates you're a fucking subhuman.
>>483257006Don't mind if I didgeridoo
HMG emplacement is absolutely disgusting against bots now. Dropping one in front of 4 heavy devs, 6 rocket devs, and several hulks and simply not giving a fuck since nothing can kill it now.
>>483258912Is it still bugged against rockets?
>>483258912>rocket devsI don't believe you
were Sentries always limited to 1-per Strat?
>>483257987This is a starship troopers game.The bots are not meant to be enjoyable.Return to the bugs.
>>483258805go to bed gramps
>>483259091I find bugs boring, and play 99% bots.
>>483258912>and simply not giving a fuck since nothing can kill it now.doubt.png

> guys theres a strider coming up on evac thats about to destroy the generators> guys theres a strider coming up on evac thats about to destroy the generators> guys theres a strider coming up on evac thats about to destroy the generators> OBJECTIVE FAILEDevery time
>>483257987idk every time they try to flex playing the game I just laugh. Its all so fucking stupid and dumb. It was dumb back when they were flexing the Meridia 1 star clear on diff 6 and its dumb now.The very fact that they need to keep posting these images because people are disillusioned around AH's understanding of the game is bad enough on its own.
>>483259212it's ok, we know you got raped by a pack of hunters or stalkers and you're just scared to play bugs againthere's no need to construct any complicated narrative, nobody is judging you
>>483258963>>483259059>>483259243Whenever they unfucked sentries they also unfucked the HMG emplacement. You can just straight up shrug off disgusting amounts of laser fire and rockets.
>>483259871I'm going to try it, and if it isn't as you claimI'm going to call you a basketball american
>>483259990not that anon but i've been running it on helldive all day and it's been terrific. Works well as a reaction drop for dropships as well as objectives that require defending. Also a few times as a pocket sniper for elite heavy patrols
What's the best way to dispose of these fuckers using light primaries?
>>483259990Welcome to the cult brother.
>>483255497anon that's an average number of kills for a decent player, I did 800 kills on a d7 recently, and before all the funky patrol spawn rate changes too
>>483257987Are they ? Difficult to believe.Whats the reaction of other people to this twoot of the paradox guy ?
>im level 143 so everything is easy teehee>ill just bring cluster on d9 bots teehee>just messing around teeheesuffering
>>483260187shoot the neck
>>483259401>can't solo a few stridersplease adjust your difficulty setting to weenie hut junior tier
>>483260187flank, fire at the legs, done, repeatthrow a grenade if there are other bugs around him.
>>4832601871) Use an especially high-damage light penetration weapon like the tenderizer and shoot around it's little elbows. You'll get enough damage to stumble it, exposing more weak points.2) Use an especially high-capacity, good ammo economy weapon like the Sickle, see #1.3) Penetrating weapons, anything from the Senator to the Adjudicator.4) Explosive primaries, like the Scorcher or the Dominator.
>>483260187Shoot in the floor with the Eruptor.
>>483260187Kill everything except it, then casually walk away.
>>483260187shoot them, let them hunker down, flank them and shoot their softer parts alternatively use incendiary breaker
>>483259831Bugs are too easy actually. I don't know what those things are because I barely play bugs. I did D9 the other day for the MO and it was boring as fuck.
>>483260549Based ohdough
Guys, what do the next few super slop rotations look like according to the schedule?
>>483261078riiight....
>>483261185Yes
>>483259831>bugs>hard>hunters>hardbugniggers truly are subhuman
>>483260209bros i think that "peace between super earth & automatons" ritualposter was onto something...
>>483259871>>483260120>>483260209ok so I was able to survive a full volley from a rocket dev, this is promising
>still 2 more fucking days of this shit leftbetter be a patch on Tuesday
>>483255132Check the previous thread. There's couple HUGE improvements like disabling every particle casting shadows (what in the actual fuck?!). As for dx11, it used to be the better-running option, but nowadays its a cointoss whether dx11 or dx12 works better for (your specific setup). Just usw dx12 if the other one crashes you. Also dont play in fullscreen, game hates that, use borderless windowed. fullscreen tip may be specific to me, but I crash constantly withoit borderless fullscreen
i've tried out the scythe for bots and so far my biggest gripe with it is the atrocious first person sight and the third person reticle being ass for any range beyond punching one, other than that its prety decent damage wise
>>483259091Skill issue
>>483262886I expect another defend before it is over.>better be a patch on TuesdayLet them cook, it is more likely to arrive the second week of July.the second FULL week of July that is.
>>483262606become the main character, single-handedly holding off an entire armada of bots. At least until your turret ammo runs dry.
>>483262606I straight up survive a full volley of gunship rocket because one fuckee was able to sneak around me as I kill 3 others. I was at like 10% hp but I was wearing fortified light armor + shield backpack. I just stim then shoot its ass down as well. It's also nice that you can stim while inside it then keep firing. With the stim booster, the extra tankiness is super nice>>483263538Yea, I have cleared a whole wave of drop ships in diff 9 by myself with a few times thank to it. It just wreck everything bot can throw at you except for tank, but tank is fairly easy to deal with. The only hard part is getting a good position + timing
>>483260209anime is fuckin gay
With how the orbital gatling is now you have to have braindamage to bring clusterbombsHell even the orbital airburst is a decent alternative with the slightly decreased cooldown. It needs some brainpower for properly working its magic though, so I guess its too much for bugdivers
>>483258465>host game>no issues
>>483259090I think their duration has always been the same as their cooldown, no? Or do they only despawn when you call a new one?
>>483264660>Orbital gattlingYou do mean napalm strike right????
>Priority alert, Ingmar defending against: Terminid invasionSWIGGERS YOU HAVE ALL TWO OF YOUR FACTION INVASION ALERT AUDIO QUIPS BACKWARDSSWWWWWWIIIIIIIIIGGGEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSS IT'S ONE CONFIG SWWWWIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSS
>>483261674Bugniggers can't grasp the concept of their shitty faction being just annoying and unfun to play. If you don't want to play it, it has to be because it's hard, right? Surely not because it's not fun to have a breach shit out multiple bile titans and behemoth chargers while a pack of 4 stalkers respawning every 10 seconds are pissing you off 20 seconds into the game. Or surely it's not because you can't use any green stratagem because the game automatically spawns a charger under it to destroy it in one shot. No no, it must be because it's hard. And no, I won't explain you why it's hard.
lol
>>483265456This post is the most profound display of lack of self-awareness I have seen on this board.
>3 bot defense missions at the same timejesus fucking christ why?on the plus side two of them are connected to Vandelon and aren't 24 hour time limit so there's a chance we can clear it if we dogpile it, too bad the blob is brainless and can't understand anything beyond following the herd or the quest marker
>>483265613Strawman fallacy

>>483257987>level difficulty visible>samples collected visibleMaybe those weren’t turned off by default because of all the shit people gave the devs for doing low level stuff and posting it. Still kinda interesting, since that means he would have had to enable them for his own personal build. Or the build the devs have is completely different from the currently released version.

>>483268717it's in the UI settings, there's quite a lot of behavior options there that are all set to Dynamic by default but the first one (mission info) is the one you should change.
>>483269191>player agency in HD2lollmaoask them for a map editor while you're at it
>>483268409Every single time. This is why bots are unironically more fun now, you can play tower defense and drop sentries around and they can tank and kill shit for you.
>>483268958no i dont think so
>>483269542on difficulty 3 maybelmao
>>483269856Oh yeah?
>>483270030you heard me.you got a problem with it then we can settle it outside
After playing bugs for a little while I decide bots are more fun, and then after playing bots for a little while I realize bugs were more fun. I exist in a superposition of fun, bouncing back and forth. Which faction is better is like schrodinger's cat. Am I playing bugs right now? Am I playing bots? Am I having fun at that exact moment? Suck my toes and lick the soles, STIMULATION is fun. Go to all the biomes. Go back and forth between both factions. Experience everything. Seriously, please do tongue-fuck my little piggies.
>>483270116No, I'm just a bystander. But I'm keeping who I support in this argument private.
>>483270479Based esoteric schizo
>>483270619if you're a bystander then why the FUCK did you involve yourself by asking me
> there are sub-D9 players posting their opinions in this thread right NOW
not taking off dynamic HUD nope
>>483270926what the fuck does that do
>>483270673I thought it'd lead to something interesting.
>>483271015listen buddy you best cut the shit because im liable to BLOW at any second
>>483269939Well I can't expect you to understand stuff in difficulties you've never played before.
Anyone have blue laser sightings lately?
>>483272023Yeah I've been drinking too much gatorade recently sorry that's me why did you follow me out to the edge of the woods to see me pee though?
>>483272023>did anyone have autocannon deflections and scorcher lights recently
>>483272023it's just scorcher shots or ricochets, AH aren't based enough to actualy put a enemy unit from a difrent faction mixed in
>>483272253They did actually try to have competing enemies on the same planet but it didnt work. It just broke the AI completely.
>infinite load screens>random disconnects straight back to the super destroyer with no message>being unable to respawn mid game despite numerous reinforcement beacons>now just had a black screen right before hellpods launched, another brand new bug to add to the listI'm glad these fucking niggers went on holiday right after taking a big fat shit on the game, at least they buffed the orbital gatling though GOOD PATCH XD
>>483272341That or they couldn't find a way to make the bots win against bugs, they can stomp most of them but Chargers and Biles probably wreck their shit with no counter other than cannon towers
>>483272870>That or they couldn't find a wayNo? They were on record as saying they messed around with it but it just led to both factions just standing around in testing and it was too much work to do.Didnt have anything to do with the inter faction balance.
>>483271828nice try kiddo but no i play d9 almost exclusivelythe fact that you think you can play le tower defense vs bots on a any non-trivial difficulty pretty much gave it away
>>483272720dont like it? dont play it. simple as
>>483273246>he doesn't know that turrets can now tank 8 direct hit rockets
>>483273691>thinking 8 rockets is a large amountagain, difficulty 3
Genuinely think the Emancipator Exosuit should have 150 rounds in each arm. It feels like it pisses through its ammo pool at an insane rate compared to the Patriot for very little gain.
>>483273746Oh I get it, you're the kind of retard who throws sentries into enemy bases, gotcha.
>>483272065>>483272253>>483272341That's right squidster- I mean, xister, I mean SISTERS. Us helldivers are not around seeing anything, ha ha ha.
>>483273839eh, I only think that's the case if you're forced to use it on a bile titan. The suit is for wading into a huge nest and closing bugholes while stomping on all the small fry. Drop it down at the start of a mission, take out a few camps and a shrieker nest, get the first objective done, then run out of ammo and fall back on your normal weapons for the 5 minutes until the suit is off cooldown again. It's pretty great.Only really sucks when you lose it almost immediately because 3 chargers spawn on you. Not a lot to do in those situations
>>483255212They did say there'll be bigger gaps between warbonds now. So probably not until August.
Could a shrieker swarm take down a gunship?
>>483273074>but it just led to both factions just standing around in testing and it was too much work to do.We are 100% never getting any kind of seaf squad stratagem in that case. Fucking lame
>>483272253Yeah, if it actually were squids taking potshots, we would've had extremely concrete evidence within the first week.
I don't know why they're so against refilling the mechs. Make a mech refill stratagem and give it a cooldown of 8 min or something.
>>483276819They don't like it when we have too much fun.
>>483276819Because you have to use your stratagems, you can't rely on a single weapon...>mech is a stratagemN-NO, NOT LIKE THAT
>>483277623Shit why have any limitations on anything? Why even have enemies? Cause dying isn't fun.
>wake up>3 bot planet defenses
>>483264306You're on an anime website faggot
>>483278089Cmon anon, dont be disingenuous. There is an entire universe of difference between "a mech should be refillable since the ammunition in the mech when you summon it has to have gotten in there somehow" and "no enemies anywhere because dying is not fun."
>>483278340And we could easily wipe 2 of them if the entire playerbase wasn't a bunch of mouth breathing retards, its what happens when you have an entire generation conditioned to follow quest markers instead of using that lump of flesh they call a brain to strategize
>let me larp, swedes
>>483273839>>483275374Charger behemoths really fuck this thing over. They take about as long to kill as a BT, since it's really difficult to hit the hind legs if it's focused on you, plus it closes distance quicker than a BT making your canons deal you damage as well.I mostly agree the Emancipator fills it's objective clearing role well, but i still think it, and the Patriot exosuit need better durable damage on their explosive weapons.
My helldivers looks weird after the recent hotfix, tf did they do to the graphics?
>>483278926Despite being from Halo, I want that style to be in HD2 and if you press the fire key the sfx is somebody blowing a raspberry. Laser shots like the sickle or the automaton guns should have somebody going "boo" or "pew."
>>483275475If enemies can shoot at sentries they can shoot at SEAF. Even if they have to make the SEAF grunts completely retarded to the point of always standing still unless when a player walks up, presses E to interact/give a "follow" command and then they sniff your ass untill you look at them again to press E and give a "stay" command.
>>483279437>hear rapid, loud automatic fire>huh someone else must have brought a MG cool>its a sickle
>>483278759It doesn't matter anyway, if people were too effective at defending and liberating planets, Joem would just slap a 3% decay rate because you're not allowed to deviate from his shitty scenario.
>>483274601how about i throw you my details and we hang out sometime, faggot
>>483278367can it weeb
>>483279996It took you a whole hour to come out with that answer?

Spear bors, will they fix her crashing before the 2 month vacation?
>>483282496A very drugged out alien cat bitch from a chink ripoff of hollow knight.
>>483282614You mean, 2 month vacation + 1 month of recovering from the vacation?
>>483282614Its a rolling vacation chud, that means the devs will still be 30% effective for 2 months, unlike Fatshark who go for a siesta for 3 months
>>483282667contrabandyour weekend pass is revoked
>>483282961You dropped your pic.
Can I use it against buildings?
>>483282752>the devs will still be 30% effective for 2 months30% of their current efficiency doesn't amount to much
>>483284568No.
>>483284746So I'm stuck between the Spear being great at the heavy targets but not useful against the more mobile ones and the Railgun being the opposite
>>483282131I really haven't been enjoying it, I feel like I'm still playing DS3 while the enemies are from the sequel to Sekiro.
>>483284856>and the Railgun being the oppositeIts not even that, it sucks against gunships too.
>>483284856>but not useful against the more mobile onesWhat mobile threats can the spear not handle
>>483273839NyoThe durable damage typo should be fixed, so that it will become good for the exact same reason as the HMG.
>>483284746>ok, railgun won't work>choose the AMR>buildings and crates still exist sfter shooting them despite them being made of material and me shooting the ANTI material rifle.Bravo, Arrowhead.

>suicidal bastards bringing the SPEAR to every runwelp
>>483286440Lucky, I only get about 20 to 30 on a 3060. Nice to know the upgrading won't do me much good though, I'll just avoid playing on any planet that isn't a hilly field with rocks.

>>483284723>>483282752sorry to say that but 200% of their current efficiency doesn't amount to much
>>483285585Well it has shit reachBut Spear would be much better since the gunships spawn in pairs and taking one down means the other won't let you reload I hate gunships so much it's unreal
>>483286440bad luck, my 4070 ti super was giving me +80 a week ago, when I was still able to play without crashing every 10 minutes
What's the fucking point of playing if our "DM" doesn't follow the rules he himself set up? That Mantes supply line is fucking bullshit. Like DM telling you "you need to set up watch for the night from 4 directions to evade the raider attack" and then after you did this saying "Oh no, mole people from underground attacked and now half of you are wounded"
>>483287453And this is why people don't care about the whole "planet attack other planet, gotta liberate the first one instead of the defense mission"
>>483287453>people are finally accepting that this shit is all riggedIt's about damn time. Just play on the biomes you like fuck the MO, this is why the whole split of bugniggers and botniggers is retarded, none of what you do matters regardless of which faction you're fighting.
kek
>>483285745>The durable damage typoKek, the fucking cope on this oneSure bud, I'll file that right next to the Packing Methodolgy "typo"
>>483287453People like Joel are fundamentally narcissists. You are not players, you are props to be exploited for their amusement. Everything is permitted, nothing is forbidden. If the players are too successful there is nothing stopping Joel from drawing a line from Cyberstan to Super Earth with a 50% automation regen rate per hour.
>>483287453>That Mantes supply line is fucking bullshit.How so? Previous MOs have already established that new supply lines can be made at any point in the game. Fori Prime to Gacrux did just that recently. The update to making Vandalon a 5 supply line planet also makes it a huge lynchpin planet for enemy aggression and SE defense, so it will likely become a huge target in the next MO. This reddit tactician shit that is beyond the scope of the current MO is always doomed to fail because it doesn't concern an MO associated planet.
>>483288101>Previous MOs have already established that new supply lines can be made at any point in the game.Then there is no reason why every planet can't also arbitrarily be connected to every other planet in the galaxy, Star Wars style.
>>48328275230% is effectively equal to 0% if we are talking about swiggers or other sorts of eurokeks sans eastern Europe. One missing person with key knowledge is enough to halt all development on a specific topic. Can be mitigated by a good management, but we all know the state of AH's management. source: I work as a software dev in western Europe
>>483287453>That Mantes supply line is fucking bullshit.am I reading it right that they only get supplied from Ingmar? or do the arrows not mean anything.
>>483288101The whole point about roleplaying is for the players to be able to create interesting and engaging situations by their actions alone. If the DM just goes "Nah, you're getting fucked whatever you do and nothing you'll ever do will change anything.", then there's zero point in engaging with it.
>>483286960How would the average player even know about it? They couldn't even find the time to post on reddit, a place that gets at most like 10% of the player population. Just remember, they hire people who's sole job it is to act as a communicative go-between the players and the developers...and those same people are never heard from. What is the last post you remember seeing from Twinbeard or Baconator?>>483287046Where? When? Why do you think this?
>>483288384>The whole point about roleplaying is for the players to be able to create interesting and engaging situations by their actions alone.That was never going to happen with this autistic playerbase because ultimately it will just result in all bug planets being wiped out and then we lose to Bots/Squids/4th faction until this game goes offline, and that's boring as fuck.
They just need to make MO's more tantalizing. If Joel made important MO's give 250 SCs as a reward I'm sure more people would contribute to these MO's.
>>483288101That was the one that is "caught on tape". First time I noticed desu. Never been a fan of 3rd party websites, but now with lines visible there is enough videos that have no link to mantes.>>483288341Faggots just made the line from vandalon to mantes.
>>483288549MOs medals are already a huge reward for the majority of the playerbase who dont go above 7 (now 6 with change to samples) and are scrounging for the just under 700 medals needed per Warbond.AH just needs a screen you see when you open the map that says MO PRIORITY TARGET: ADDITIONAL REWARDS AUTHORISED and if you deploy on that planet you get 20% extra exp and medals.Still allows everyone to drop where they want, but gives an in their face huge incentive to assist in the MO regardless of what it is.
>>483288479>Where? When? YouTube recommended me a short of some faggot saying a minipatch dropped that fixed itI tried in a match and it didn't crash despite me using it the whole timeWhy do you think this?
>>483288384to be fair, when the player base acts like literal retards, doesn't surprise me they want to put the guard rails up. the idea of a story based completely around the community's action is fun in theory, but in practice it'd just mean we lose to automatons over and over while they drop their 14th bug MO in a row.
>>483288876They can take that incentivized concept you've come up with with the strategic advice memo that pops up to tell players how to best make a tactical decision on where to deploy. But given the nature of the current MO, it is quite obvious that, since AH hasn't put out a strategic update to say go for Vandalon, that the capture of Vandalon to win this MO isn't actually that important. Just hold the Tzar Sector planets and we'll be good. Vandalon can come for another day.
>>483284568How the fuck is this damage supposed to work?The wiki lists the Unsafe Railgun as being able to piece the strongest armor but I can't even blow up dropships or even that metal lining from the PoI loot boxes that get blown by grenades
>>483288549What's crazy is that you probably don't remember this, but us getting medals from the MOs is actually a major improvement. We used to only get Req Slips from them for the first few weeks after launch. Think how much more dead the game would be if that was still the case
>>483288517God, I hate bug-only divers so much. Ffs they could take out all the bots and only leave them with chaff and the most basic devastator and they would still piss their pants that a space faring enemy with space tech had the ability to *gasp* SHOOT BACK AT THEM.
>>483289008>>483288789case and point here. The community is a bunch of knuckle dragging mongs who can't realize that if we take Vandalon we'd be secure on our MO planets from that side, so they had to add another bright glowing line to try and clue everyone in to what they should be working on without being too overt with it. (yet)
>people complaining about playerbase not attacking vandalon>meanwhile, on helldivers.io
>>483289351>not MO planet>expect the masses to even botherThe only retard here is you.
>>483288789>That was the one that is "caught on tape"No, you're just new>>483288959Because the last patch was on the 18th and that is the one that introduced the Spear issue. There have been no patches since then and just last night I had a guy use the Spear and crash out.
>>483289351>MO doesn't tell people to defend or liberate Vandalon.>No strategic update from command to tell players to go liberate Vandalon to stop the attacks on Ingmar and Mantes.Aka, it's not important Super Earth. It's only important because you redditors see it as important.
>>483289179>but I can't even blow up dropshipsThat's because it has shit durable damage. It could in theory take out a Dropship engine if you had enough time/ammo.>or even that metal lining from the PoI loot boxes that get blown by grenadesThat's because it has no demolition force, a different stat
>>483289450>No, you're just newSurely you can show screenshots of it happening previously then, right?
>>483289179Railgun was very powerful when the game launched so Alexus made sure to fucking gut it. Heavens forbid players have fun
>>483289639I just wish we could vote on some things We have ranks o the e but they're purely cosmetic, it'd be cool if higher level Divers could vote on picking a planet and a message would be sent telling everyone of its importance
>>483289815>higher level Divers could voteCongrats, you are now outnumbered by chinese hackers 25:1.
I'm actually starting to think Vandalon is going to get black holed like Meridia did because that 5 supply line threat is fucking huge and there's no way command can expect us to hold that planet for long without pushing the bots as far away from it as possible. It would create a clean partition of the map too, making Tzar Sector the chokepoint to get to Severin Sector.
>>483289686>durable damage>demolition forceHow any of these hidden jewish statistics are there? Why aren't those stats displayed in-game?
>muh 5 supply linesThis is nothing but cope to justify Joel™ doing a fucky wucky because he got shut out.
>>483289696I have to goto work, don't have time to dig. But if you want a recent example of them fucking with supply lines then look to the long long ago of the Merida Super Colony and them cutting it off outside going the longway through Hellmire.
>>483289815>Giving the most autistic players the right to choose where the playerbase invests its time towards.You imply it like the lvl 150 players aren't all majority bugtards either. That system is flawed and garbage.
>>483289996It's okay, we make Arrowhead virtue signal about Tibet, so now playing Helldivers in china will get you sent to the rice fields
>>483290169>How any of these hidden jewish statistics are there?A bunch>Why aren't those stats displayed in-game?Swiggers
>>483290201Meridia was story related. Now it's just "fuck you guys, here is another vector of attack for you"
>>483290285>majority bugtardsClarification: majority bugtards who reached 150 grinding elimination missions and not playing anything with objectives
>>483278814>the Patriot exosuit need better durable damage on their explosive weapons.But they already have a 100% ratio. They feel weaker than RR/EAT/Quasar because they are weaker; they only do 400 damage compared to the 650 of the heavy AT options. They also drop down to only 4 penetration if you hit at 60 to 79 degree rather than staying at the full 6 penetration.
>>483290501There are also just account buyers who buy lvl 150 boosted accounts too, because that's a thing.
>4 defenses all at the same time>3 of them bot>Gacrux having the lib ration tuned so far down that all of the efforts from the entire weekend haven't even been able to keep it treading water>inventing new supply linesYeah, I'm thinking Joel is having a hissy
>>483290064blackholling a planet is last resort, we only done it with Meridia because the situation couldn't be contained (exploited), we can take Vandalon anytime we want, the problem is that players are yellow paint following retards that even with proof of concept shown just yesterday that we can stop an attack by taking the originating planet they'd rather just do the MO planet and go back to the bugs
>obvious, easily vaultable/climbable ledge>noooo you cant climb that because.. you just cant okay?!?!?!This game's movement is such a putrid pile of dogshit.
>>483290169You arent supposed to understand and master the game mechanics, you are intended to suffer and like it. Sweedecucks collectively suffer from masochistic fuck fetishes.
>>483290493>that one doesn't count!>the MOs aren't part of the story!Why the fuck are you defending him like this? Did he suck your dick or something?
>>483290678>the players want to do the things they find most enjoyableImagine my shock
>>483290678>there are unironically people defending the rigged MOsI don't have a suitable reaction image for this.
>>483291003i refuse to believe anyone finds Ion storm flatlands more enjoyable than snowy wonderland
>>483291003Anon the blob of players just follow whatever the MO tells them to do regardless of planet. That's not them doing whats personally the most enjoyable to them. Ffs they finally took Hellmire because of the MO, and nobody likes Hellmire.
>>483290605>buying boosted account>he doesn't know you can reach level 150 in a few minutes by using python and a way to send API requests to the game so the game thinks you've completed a mission each time you send a request

>>483291405Joel doesn't care. He literally could not care less. You will play the game EXACTLY how he wants you to play. Fuck you for thinking you could have fun doing your thing.
>>483290660>destroy super colony>it has zero impact on the warbravo Joel
>have 5600x>people with better cpus than me have higher usage percentages and less frames>people with worse cpus have lower usage %s and more framesWho let them cook this shit?
>>483291648It'd be like if in 40k the Eye of Terror was completely destroyed and both Nurgle and Slaanesh somehow killed off and yet GW was like "aaaaah there's so much chaos everywhere, fleets attacking every planet how could this HAPPEN?!" and expecting the playerbase to be cool with it.
>>483291581Nah if anything this tells me i should go do my own thing. if the MO is ment to pass he'll crank the settings on the planets to make it so, with or without my input so fuck it. imma go have fun in the jungle.
>>483291528
The average bug patrol is like 15 hunters now and it just keeps shitting them out
>>483291824Hey bro I have the same CPU. What kind of cooler do you use? Whenever I use it against bugs on difficulty 7 or up too many bugs spawn and my CPU overheats and shuts down.
>>483292145Its kind of funny - they wanted to play like there was strategy via the galactic map, but by railroading things so hard all its done is reduce the whole thing to an overdesigned map list.
What nerfs are we expecting tomorrow? Firebreaker is getting gutted along with scorcher, thats for sure.
>>483291198Ion Storm flatlands is fun if you've got long range weapons. If the spear wasn't crashing games it would dominate on that biome.
>he got shut out?. Anyway I have never been more embarrassed to be a botdiver right now
>>483291252You imply it like the sort that buy boosted accounts are intelligent.
>>483293640Plasma punisher gutted because MO is being completed and bot attacks are being repelled.Laser cannon nerfed for same reason.
>>483289212That makes more sense at launch though, when everyone still needed Req slips for stratagems. I think at least once a month an MO should come around that rewards SC. Also, give us something to do with Req slips PLEASE. Let me deposit 50,000 Req slips for 100 super credits or something. >>483288876Good idea.>>483290557Something was changed with the patriot exosuit though. When it launched its rockets could two tap a BT if you landed both on the face. It struggles to do that now. I actually like the Patriot exosuit a lot but it doesn't fill a niche like the emancipator does.
What are support weapons and stratagems nobody ever uses and how would you buff them?
>>483291198>ion flatlandsPersonally I have a ton of fun on->more than snowy wonderlandjk lol
>>483294409EM orbital strike. Unironically to buff it I think cutting edge warbond armor should get immunity to EM strikes.
>>483293238thats weirdOne thing you should know is that the 5600x intentionally runs very hot around 95 degrees, its a specific feature of this one to improve efficiency I just use the stock wraith cooler though, might want to research your mobo for defects, or use a different cooler
Why haven't the terminally unemployed streamers made videos about the supply lines yet and how they work? Why are so many retards still not attacking originating planets? Is everyone online a robot? What the fuck is going on here?
>>483294409I would give the ballistic dog backpack medium pen and the ability to get 25% ammo refill when picking small ammo boxes
>X-45 have a supply line this whole time.
>>483294726this or make it way less retarded about how it chooses to spend what little ammo it hasif you're near a fabricator or á shrieker nest or anything with heavy armor the drone just unloads all of it's remaining ammo on it for 0 damage
>>483294409Arc trowerReverse the nerfs and fix its misfiring/failure to target if the target's ankles are in cover
>>483294286>When it launched its rockets could two tap a BT if you landed both on the face. It struggles to do that now.The bile titan head is the worst marker for what changed or not because it ALWAYS had the bug where sometimes it wouldn't take damage. It was sometimes taking 3 or more shots when spitting since release.
>>483294409The liberator guard dog just needs to have its weapon swapped to the sickle. Simple as.
>>483294838they added them when they released the new biome
>>483295097Or reduce the firing speed but give it infinite ammo.
>>483294286>Let me deposit 50,000 Req slips for 100 super credits or something.anon thats never gonna happen because slips are so trivially easy to max ou, you do 3 Diff 9 missions and you're practically 90% of the way there
>>483295334They'd never give it infinite ammo because they are supremely autistic. Just make it the Sickle, sure it'll be a bit more inaccurate but it'll actually be worth using.
>haven't been able to get eva/eradicate/blitz combos this set of defensesreeeee
>>483294409>Airburst rocket-Increase its damage so it can more reliably kill medium targets. Add a fuse timer for proximity so it detonates in the center of groups easier. >Railgun-Allow it to damage gunships and bot vents. 3-4 shots to destroy each at 90% charge. -Allow it to hold 100% charge for a second or two-Increase max charge in safe mode>Arc thrower -Fix it so it stops colliding with dead bodies -Slightly increase fire rate>Orbital Railcanon-reduce cooldown to 180 seconds>Orbital 120-reduce cooldown to 210 seconds>Orbital 380-First explosive always lands where the targeter lands>Orbital Walking barrage -Tighten spread, make its pattern a consistent forward movement of explosives (essentially make it eagle strafing run but 380 shells) -Decrease duration but increase speed of barrage (so its effectively the same number of salvos but over a shorter period)>Orbital EMS-Increase duration-Add damage on impact that allows it to blow up holes and fabricators and deal slight damage to targets >Eagle/Orbital Smoke-Increase smoke effectiveness -Add damage on impact that allows it to blow up holes and fabricators and deal slight damage to targets >Eagle 110 -Increase AOE of explosion (keep damage the same but give it a bit more aoe to damage targets in clumps around the larger target)>Mines-Either decrease cooldown or greatly increase damage-Fix mines so they stop chaining to each other and triggering on dead bodies>Liberator Guard Dog-Give it medium pen -Allow it to refill on found ammo packs-Greatly increase damage-Prioritizes medium targets (ignores heavy targets it cannot damage) >Fuse incendiary and frag grenades-Increase explosion damage>Thermite grenade-Reduce capacity to 2-Increase armor pen effectiveness (1 thermite grenade strips charger leg, 2 strips behemoth front leg and bile titan side if both land on the same body part)>Throwing knife-Swapping to it manually increases melee damage by 100%
>>483295558This is fucking frustrating because they have no problem giving the laserdog infinite ammo. They need to fuck off with this realism autism. It's fine in some cases but when it's actively preventing something from being used basically at all, it needs to fuck off.
>>483294604Yeah I noticed that it seems to always be around 60C, even if I just boot the PC from being off. After the first few crashes due to this I went to BIOS and told it to always blast the CPU fans at 100%.Might be the motherboard. It's a MSI MAG X570 and the first one I bought was a piece of shit where the the port that fucking boots the PC didnt work, so I had to have it replaced. I fucking hate motherboards, last PC died cause I cheaped on it, so I thought I'd be safe by splurging 250€ on it.
>>483295763>takes all of your grenades to injure one charger behe or BT>you essentially lose all utility from grenades otherwiseterrible idea
>>483295381Yeah I know, but I'd rather have fun doing diff 9 missions than farming diff 1 missions for super credits, at what would probably be a faster rate.
>>483266817When I started out, I disagreed.At 30 I wasnt so sure.At 50 I agree completely
>>483292039>GeeDubs>Letting Chaos lose at allUnrealistic even as a hypothetical
>>483295964I have no idea how else to make thermite grenades viable without just making them best in slot. AH probably fears giving players a grenade that strips armor.I think trading your grenades utility for armor stripping is a fine trade off. Its not unlike the stun grenade.
>>483294409Orbital smoke and EMSincrease the area of effect and decrease cooldown significantly, revert the nerf to stun Bile titans (hell make it and SEAF arty EMS being the only ones that can do it) and make it stun everything
>>483295763>Prioritizes medium targets (ignores heavy targets it cannot damage)this needs to be on pretty much everything thats not the rocket or autocannon sentry.my gatling ignoring the wave of chaff to lay its entire ammo supply into a chargers side made me stop running it.
>>483296168I like the idea, maybe gamify it so it only removes armour whilst it is burning?Gives you a few seconds to magdump the area and pray
>>483293640Oh man, there's new nerfs?
>>483295763>Eagle/Orbital Smoke>-Add damage on impact that allows it to blow up holes and fabricators and deal slight damage to targetsEagle smokes already do that, no idea on the orbital variant
>>483293640If they nerf scorcher, I'm out. It's basically the only good multipurpose gun in this gay game.
Stratagem-related personal orders should always be paired with that stratagem being dispatched into missions for free because I don't feel like taking garbage like a Stalwart, 120 or 380 into missions and cucking myself out of something that's actually useful
>>483296773I'm sure when they get around to it they'll find a """bug""" where its damage is just too high, so they scale it down to alexus approved levels
Can i use a mech on the bot front yet or will it get insta-killed every time
>>483296896Make sure there are no annihilator tanks or sentry turrets and you won't die instantly.
>>483296891I will seethe. The only concession I'll accept is if they show you the spawn pool in the brief so I don't need to crutch so hard on it. This would probably trivialize bugs though since their pool dynamicism is probably their only difficulty.
>>483291648I think the super colony's impact would have been more aggressive bug expansion. Destroying it wouldn't impact how other planets spread spores, just quarantine (delete) the worst one.
>>483295909same. when i got my 5600x the first mobo I had was a dud, made me question every part as well before I realizedGot an asus one and its been no issue for a year and a half now
>>483293238>>483295909repaste it and make sure to get good coverage, don't worry about using too much thermal paste, to a reasonable extent anyway. The 5600(x) should be fine with the stock cooler unless you live in a very warm climate assuming you have any decent airflow in the case. And obviously make sure there's no plastic sticker on the cooler.
Just dropping by for some QUESTIONS:Do planets not related to campaign reset to 0% liberation progress? I swear current bug planets on "north" gets some few percents tops just to see 0% next day. I honestly don't know what planet I am supposed to select if there is no major order (or just wanted to change scenery).I wish the game interface would be more ... descriptive about thisAlso how huge shitter am I? My go to loadout is:>500kg>rail cannon>spear>120 HE>Breaker Incendiary for bugs / scorcher for bots
summer on super earthhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=XDPzgbBaJns
>>483295763>>Thermite grenade>-Reduce capacity to 2>-Increase armor pen effectiveness (1 thermite grenade strips charger leg, 2 strips behemoth front leg and bile titan side if both land on the same body part)objective nerf. thermites suck not because they don't have enough pen or don't do enough damage but because they only ever do damage to the main HP pool of the enemy they are stuck to. They also don't stack which only excaerbates the first issue. If their damage applied to body parts they could one shot chargers of both types, bile titans, and tanks if you stuck them on the head or turret, which wouldn't be too OP because you still have to A) stick the grenade on the right part, and B) wait for the burn time to run through.
>>483298168i love you please be my wife
>>483298086whats the difference between 120 and 380 anyways?
>>483298397380 is great when you get a factory strider heavy seedeach one has the power of an ops120 doesn't really do anything
>>483298397IMHO because of smaller range it is "easier" to deal with it. I often like to drop it in middle of hives to clear it up and "maybe" it is more efficient than 380.Objectively:- 380 has bigger range- wreck the absolute shit out of it, may lord have mercy when you are in the middle of radius
>>483298397Functionally in the game? Smaller booms.
>>483266817If you're retarded, sureI'm sure some braindamaged idiot finds endless kiting by rockets, infinite dropships fun and shitty cover shooting fun
>>483298086>Do planets not related to campaign reset to 0% liberation progress?No. The decay on liberations is based on a -%/hr that is now typically only associated with that individual planet. Zagon Prime is sitting at -3%/hr so you'd need more than 30% of the current playerbase to actually go positive on liberating that planet. Most other planets that are going negative aren't reaching that decay threshold which are ranging from something like 10% to 25%+ of the playerbase required to liberate them. Looking at this graph, it's basically absolutely pointless to even consider playing on anything other than Ingmar or Phact Bay if you think your galatic war contributions are going to make a positive effect on any planet. And Phact Bay is probably still a loss because it needs another 3k+ players to actually succeed that defense campaign, and nobody on the bugfront is going to budge to see that succeed.
>>483298928So the "optimal" strategy of playerbase is to zerg rush planet by planet?
What the fuck the Defender is ridiculous
Any updates on a new patch?
>>483299029Yes, basically. You either dogpile a planet for war progression, or you go play on another biome and have your fun there. The only thing that kind of sours that is that the current system actually makes it so players in that later group are an active detriment to the players in the former group. But given the way AH has been formatting their MOs lately, it doesn't seem like that's all too bad anyway. Just follow the MO's orders and don't worry about the tards on reddit telling you to focus on something else that the MO doesn't talk about. Game says "Defend the Tzar Sector", so you defend the Tzar Sector. Vandalon 4 is a problem for the next MO.
>>483299029Yeah, pretty much. Too bad Joel is a shit tier DM and just cranks the decay rate for every non-MO planet up to eleven so nobody gets off his rails.There is no player agency despite what some mouthbreathers on youtube and reddit may claim.
>>483299721The player agency they are wanting seems to come down to MO decisions. Think of MOs as a Splatfest in a way, basically.
>>483296168trading all of your grenades for a single kill is a bad exchange, especially when you talk d7-9 numbers where you get 3+ armored enemies at a time. one grenade stripping armor where it lands sounds fine, with a base stock of 4
>>483299029Technically, zerg rushing is effective but not perfectLiberation rate suffers from diminishing returns, if 80% of the playerbase is already on a planet it doesn't really matter if the remaining 20% join themSo the best strategy to capture multiple worlds would be to split 50/50
>>483299721>>483299890"Take us to the fight, helldiver.""NO NOT LIKE THAT.""NOT THAT ONE EITHER."
>>483297932Will try that, gotta open my PC and upgrade the RAM anyway. Dont live in a warm climate, as a matter of fact I live in the same city as ArrowHead
They need to completely get rid of recoil on the laser pistol and cannon. It's not really noticeable on the scythe considering the non-magnifying sight, but the scythe needs a better scope anyways. I tried using the dagger for an operation just now and while it's kind of fun against basic troopers, you overheat it so fast and if you try to precision aim it in first person, you'll notice that it has awful recoil. It already has 150 DPS less than the other laser weapons, it shouldn't have half of the uptime like it currently does. It feels like a really limited redeemer withoutnthebcrazy DPS or uptime. Fun with the ballistics shield, though.

I don't understand the intention behind Thermite Grenades
>>483300376It's an IQ testYou fail it if you take them
>>483300246I mean he doesn't stop you on diving on some shitty planet with so few other divers and such a high decay rate that liberating it is impossibleIf anything he isn't effective at all when it comes to make you fight somewhere where it matters
>>483300376honestly that's 90% of the weapons in this shit game>mfw seeing the throwing knives on the battle pass for the first time
>>483300376a sticky grenade is a cool ideathe problem is that the damage is badand the stick itself is inconsistent too
Few more aspects, It kinda sucks that because you play too much you are fully capped with samples and warbond medals, therefore:- do secondary objectives increase liberation score? Or could I simply rush main objectives at this state?- did devs consider any mechanics if someone collects samples/medals while fully capped?-- for instance, just transfer those samples to other players or make some "samples for SC" or any "scenario based" boost>>483299518>Just follow the MO's orders and don't worry about the tards on reddit telling you to focus on something else that the MO doesn't talk abouLel, is reddit that obsessed over that?Based on my observations I just prioritize following:- follow MO with biggest player base- follow any planet with biggest player base>>483299980So what would fucking devs need to do is to incentivize doing stuff on other missions.At least put the "live tracker" like >>483298928 to let players know what's up where they are needed, for instance "planet X needs some small assistance to uphold liberation progress" OR "planet Y already has too many helldivers, any attempts while appreciated will not yield as much of liberation progress than usual" and stuff like that.Because the worst thing which happens here is... I am so fucking clueless over what's happening and using 3rd party apps doesn't sound good.
>>483300376Its supposed to be a slow damage over time kind of thing on paper. You throw them then run away. Like a really slow stratagem essentially. In practice all you did was take pretty firework sparklers.
>>483300376They should kill chargers and hulks upon detonation if you stick it to their head/face, they should also kill titans/striders in 2-3 grenades and they shouldn't need to be spaced out to do it.
I threw one orbital strike into a mass of bots. I had to take a few seconds to rub one out.
>>483301170You rubbed one out in 2.4 seconds?
>>483300376the idea is that they stick to armor and do a lot of damage but no aoebut someone stuck their dirty hohol hands into it and made it so it does lackluster damage and half the time it bounces off armor for no reasonit should take like 1 or 2 max to take out a tank turret but it takes like 4+ even for chargers, making it useless when the impact nade takes out a turret in 2 hits
ive got a feverand the only prescriptionis more fluteposting
>>483300741>Lel, is reddit that obsessed over that?Yes. They're fuming that people are defending Ingmar/Mantes instead of liberating Vandalon 4. Even though the MO defense missions are an easy 30k hp planet defense while Vandalon 4 is a fucking near 80k hp planet with -1% decay. Liberation of this planet in light of MO defenses is not happening. The "gambit" with Mort a few days ago only happened because it was an MO planet.
>>483301170Which orbital?
>>483301287This is 4chan anon. You either take 3 seconds because you're a turbovirgin or you take 3 hours because you're a porn addicted desensitized coomer.

>>483302809I did a quick diff 7 run on bots with a friend of mine the other day. Just the two of us, did a whole campaign. Was pretty relaxed and comfy the whole time. That these people shit their pants about 7 and up is so tiring. They really do need to just git gud. Unless its some freak of nature bad map seed, there is no excuse for not being able to do a 7. I'm so sick of people who hate shooters playing a shooting game.
>>483303076what other strat is literally just a "I want this thing dead now" stratIf it doesn't headshot a BT it leaves them with such low hp that they die to the next tummy tickle
>>483303141Where are difficulties 10-12?!!?
>>483302809It's the highest I can do solo and still have funI did 7 once but it's 90% running and hiding
>>483303340>what other strat is literally just a "I want this thing dead now" stratOrbital precision strike, 500kg, and eagle airstrike are the "I want this thing dead NOW" strats for people that can aim. Orbital failcannon is for gaming journalists that need aim assist to hit the building sized target.
>>483303703I bring railcannon and pair it with OPS or the eagles.
>>483303076LOL i need my neck cracked too
>>483303340Yes but it does that once every 189 seconds by with the upgrade. Which is an insane amount of time for a singular shot. You can use the 500kg bomb twice and then have it back up in 120 seconds.This means that over the course of a 40 minute mission. If you are using 500kgs off cooldown (+5 seconds inbetween 500kg uses) you can use the 500kg around 38 times vs the orbital railcannon's 12Even if we're taking into account that you arent going to use them instantly off cooldown, since they are both utilised for the same threats you can treat the circumstances the same for both.
WHY DID THEY FUCKING DO IT?I CAN'T POST THIS THE SAME WAY ANYMORE
This game is dyingEven the slow cooked patch was full of bugs and couldn't save itdoomers always win in the end
Doomers are just entropy demons of the demiurge, salt your computer, ignore, and remember your democracy prayers
Uh bros, we lost another 13K...
>>483305416It's even worse than that since orbital railcannon can only ever strike one opponent. With OPS/500kg/airstrike you can potentially strike multiple high value targets. Such as multiple hulks that dropped in from the same dropship, or baiting a group of chargers into a singular blast. This is easier accomplished with the aid of stun grenades. On top of that those strikes pull double duty in that they can be used to destroy enemy infrastructure and even hardened structures.The ONLY advantage that railcannon has is that it has aim assist. It's training wheels for noobs.
>>483305416>>483307009ive come to the realization that OPS is a literal bell curve stratnoobies use it because its their first option, and haha big explosiongood players use it because its genuinely an amazing single target and aoe strat and haha big explosionmidwits think laser or railcannon is better

I guess I don't really understand why the bots are moving south west. their goal was the reclamation of cyberstan, it doesn't really make any sense they would spread themselves thin over areas that do nothing in the way of creating a buffer between that and super earththey should be stockpiling to fortify their defensive line before moving directly south into super earth territory
>>483307192Laser still has some value. It's just noobs think "oh shit a bot drop let me call in the LASER" while more experienced players think "I really want to kill that detector tower quickly, but its entire foundation is built out of trampolines that keep bouncing hellbombs and other stratagem beacons far away"

>>483300376>>483300671>>483301315Here's the thing.. the thermite's damage isn't bad. It's actually quite good at 1100 total damage. The problem is that it does not damage enemy limbs, components, or parts. It only does damage to the enemies main HP pool. Meaning even if you stick it directly on a chargers 600 hp head it's still gong to have to take two grenades because chargers have 1500 main HP. Thermites DoT effect also doesn't stack which only makes it even worse. And then sometimes thermites just don't seem to fucking apply their damage, especially against chargers where it can take anywhere from 2 to 6 fucking grenades to kill one. I don't mean sometimes the grenade just bounces off, I mean it will stick to them but it's like the DoT isn't actually doing anything to them.Thermites aren't bad because their numbers are bad, they are bad because their mechanics are bad, and they are not functioning correctly.
There's not very much content in this game and I want more so badly, I just want to sink thousands of hours into it but there just isn't enough progression to warrant it. I wish they'd allow you to assign a 5% increase to a random stat of your choosing every 10 levels, like sprint speed, stamina regen, explosive resist, ballistics resist, recoil, weapon handling, and so on, up to a cap of like 5 improvements. You could spend requisition slips to reset your build and reassign your points, so a level 150 would have 15 points to spend. That way, you could pick 3 things to be 25% better at when you're max level. If they uncapped your level so you could feasibly get everything you can upgrade up to that 25% max, I'd play this game literally forever.
>>483309663So two non stacked thermites can two-shot a charger no matter where they are stuck?I might give them a shot again if thats how they work. What about on Behemoths?
>>483290169>>483290760It's a casual game to dick around in, not competitive niggery.
>>483309913>So two non stacked thermites can two-shot a charger no matter where they are stuck?IF they work. Like I said, chargers especially show huge variation in how many grenades it takes. Hulks? 90% of the time it's 2 grenades. tanks? 90% of the time its two grenades. cannon towers? 100% of the time it's one grenade. Chargers? maybe like 20% of the time it's two grenades.
>>483310197knowing AH, the chargers are probably outrunning the damage from the thermite. how consistent are they when the charger isn't moving?

The range is already really short, the pellets themselves hit like popcorn and have no stagger at all.

>>483312798>The range is already really short>its completely reliant on its DoT>it isnt even that powerfulYoure mentally retarded and wrong.Remove the DoT for now, just on its pellets, it takes out hunters and shriekers in two shots up close. It takes out warriors in two shots to the head and takes out brood commanders easily. Stalkers are a little more RNG dependent based on how much they block with their claws but it can burst them down if you turn and hit them in the head. That on its own is average, a little bad compared to other shotguns.What makes it fundamentally broken. Is that from over 100 metres away, you can one shot:>Shriekers>Hunters>Scavengersin a single hit pellet. You take out an entire patrol from a joke distance in under half a mag with nearly no aim or skill required. Shrieker patrols just fall instantly. It is a complete joke. You have a ton of ammo and each shot fires a ton of pellets and a single one is a death sentence to the above enemies.The DoT can also take out warriors in a short amount of time (maybe 2-3 activations of DoT) and deal significant damage to hive guard and a bit to commanders. Still from 100+ m away with ZERO SKILL.It is the only fucking primary where you can look across a landscape. See a breach happening and moving towards you, and just fire a couple mags in the general direction and rack up dozens of kills without an issue. Patrol coming by? Oh you shot in their general direction and they died so fast they couldnt even call a breach.To balance the breaker incen, they need to reduce the effectiveness of the DoT from outside a certain range or require more pellets to hit to activate it (which would do the same thing while punishing bad aim more). The incen dealing with close to mid range threats very well is fine. But it just becomes completely broken when used at long range and abusing it.

>>483314421Dont say the Breaker Incen isnt broken beyond all belief next time and I wont have to argue about it you dumb fuck. Im sure Alexus has been in seizure mode nonstop waiting to kill the gun just based off of its pick and win rate alone.The gun would still be really strong if they amended it in the way I said.>>483314431Yeah thats the second way I thought. I think amending the DoT to be weaker over distance was a nice inbetween that allowed you to still chip away at enemies but just not to such an extreme, while still being easy to use close-mid range. The pellet minimum is definitely the better way to add a skill/aim requirement to the gun so it isnt braindead but iI think reducing the DoT at further range enemies rather than removing it would be a nice inbetween

>>483315273oh, that was two separate missions, but the 200 was crazy
>>483314784>the dominatorDominator needs you to aim properly for one. It also doesnt fire out a massive AoE of pellets from afar, doesnt even have pellets. Doesnt have anywhere near the ammo capacity to do this so efficiently. The Incen can turn and kill a horde before the dominator has even finished its slow ass turn. God forbid the horde splits up slightly.
>>483315332This.People need to stop complaining about the changesI hope they nerf all primaries and bump all armor against all types of damage except melee, that way the new warbond gets more use
AH doesn't know how to nerf shit without gutting it therefore I don't want them to nerf anything.
>>483315463Anon ive been using the incen ever since they fixed the fire damage working for non hosts. It is by far the strongest primary for bugs and makes them a complete joke even on the cancer seeds.>doesnt feel like complete shitVery honest argument here nigger.

>>483314962Has to be shopped. In 144 hours of in-mission time I have never seen a single 100SC drop. In the past 10 missions I played, with me picking up as many POIs as possible during those, I have only seen two 10SC drops. You did not get 300SC in two missions
>>483316042You didnt follow anything if >you need to fall backwards while using it the entire timeIs your response anon.Break your conditioning and use the gun from medium to long range, and learn you need to spam more pellets at enemies you need dead ASAP because it does less damage than the breaker/punisher.The breaker incen is average in scenarios where you are in very close range engagements and cant rely on the DoT to kill in time. Instead you need to spam fire or evade them. If you catch this happening to you more than a few times a match then youre using the gun wrong.With the incen you learn that despite it being a shotgun it shines mid to long range where the DoT makes it absurdly efficient and allows it to function at any range you can see and even then, its still going to be able to protect you if you do fuck up and enemies get close as I described.Trying to say the gun is bad because its only average in one area while being absurdly strong is so fucking stupid.
>>483316201>And it's not even far, it's like half the distance of the regular breakerMotherfucker have you even used the incen. Go use it in a bugs game right now, aim at a patrol 100m away and angle your shots so they hit them. You will kill every single hunter and below in that squadThen because of your absolutely fucking retarded comment, go try to use the regular breaker to do the same thing.>All guns need you to aim themAIM PROPERLY. The aiming skill needed to use the Dominator is easily 10x the amount needed to use the incen. Even setting aside how fast the Incen snaps around.
>>483312271At least they admitted it's broken.
Incendiary breaker is either going to be strong against bugs or utterly trash with no inbetween, simply due to the fact that DoT is an inherently strong counter to abundant low health threats. The only way you make it weak is by reducing DoT damage so much so that it won't kill those enemies, in which case it's worthless, or by making it require more shots to apply DoT, in which case you'd have killed the enemy with direct damage anyway. The only halfway reasonable way to balance the weapon is hitting it's ammo economy or direct damage, but in either case it's still going to hollow out bug breaches and thus will still be labelled as overpowered.
>>483314180Wait what? Where?
>>483316845you need to mag dump it against larger targets if you don't have the time to let the burn effect take place, or more accurately you'll switch to a secondaryit's designed to be used with the senatoryou're clearing little bitches out and if something big gets through you switch over to your oh fug gun, which only has 6 shots in it for a reason
>>483315463"Doesn't feel like complete shit" doesn't mean it's broken. Vaporizing an entire horde because you held down the trigger vaguely in its direction while each enemy succumbed to a single pellet is an entire matter entirely and is quite thoroughly broken.
I'm wondering if they might make something like a radiation gun that ignores armor. It would he a great way to kill something like a hulk very fast, since radiation completely fucks electronics up, and the downside is that it doesnt spread like the arc thrower and is heavy. Almost like an invisible flamethrower but one that makes more sense for bots.
>>483316836I've never seen more than 1 in a single mission but they absolutely can happen. I found one in an SC farm lobby posted in the thread a couple days ago.
>>483317071>Motherfucker have you even used the incenHave you? 100m away is very far away, it's the length of two football fields, I don't think even the regular breaker hits them with all pellets at that distance>AIM PROPERLYAh yeah, your arbitrary standard for aiming
>>483317334If you want an oh shit gun that can take out commanders and hive guard easily especially in conjunction with a bit of pelleting and DoT you take the grenade pistol. or atleast thats my preference.I agree completely though. It doesnt kill everything, but the things it does kill it does so efficiently that you can completely take them out of the equation as long as youre using it correctly.
>>483317789>it's the length of two football fields,Bro I'm a burger and even I know that's fucking wrong.
>>483317178>The only halfway reasonable way to balance the weapon is hitting it's ammo economy or direct damage, but in either case it's still going to hollow out bug breaches and thus will still be labelled as overpowered.Which is ultimately why I don't trust AH to balance it. They'll do something retarded like gutting the DOT on it and completely strip the weapon's identity while leaving it useless in the process.
>>483317669https://brigador.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Hand
Incen Breaker is great, but it's usage is a bit different than the regular Breaker. The dmg is a bit less, but It adds a burning DoT, the burning DoTs don't stack, it's best used against a mass of bugs from a distance, so they burn up while running at you. Using it up close 1 on 1 against individual bugs, yeah it won't be as good as a regular Breaker, so it depends on how you use the gun.
>>483317598the gun designed for thinning the numbers is good at thinning the numberswow!
>>483318208Imo, incen should get nerfed in range so that it can't be so safely apply max amount of dots to all enemies. If the weapon higher potential damage due to the dot, it should carry slightly higher risk
>>483317789>Have you? 100m away is very far away, it's the length of two football fields, I don't think even the regular breaker hits them with all pellets at that distanceDamn thats crazy. I wonder why I was able to kill hunters and scavengers from around 100m away with the incen breaker randomly shitting out the pellets. If the regular breaker cant do it then how could this webm possibly exist. It must be voodoo magic. I wasnt even sitting on a cliff or highground, just hitting the first patrol I could see. That couldnt possibly be real. It must be fake and im gaslighting myself.

>>483319653Yes goyim its very weak do not use it.As we discussed it cant kill enemies from 100m away, the webm is a mirage The second after this clip ends a horde spawns in front of me some of the pellets hit them. I didnt want retard anon to be able to say "you killed the ones close not the ones far away" or some dumb shit
>>483319116>it decimates an entire horde at a distance >managed to kill 3Lmao

>>483320185>it decimates an entire horde at a distanceno one said this, this is not a quote.
>>483309393>It’s in the options you retard.That’s what I was saying. The newest update was such that the mission difficulty visibility was turned off by default, so Shams would have had to reenable it.
>>483320502>You take out an entire patrol from a joke distance in under half a mag with nearly no aim or skill required. Sure thing

Thoughts on mentally ill faggots? I know you post here asura, you're a mentally ill faggot.
Who was in the wrong here /hdg/?
Why hasn't anybody else noticed the syckle doesn't shoot through bushes again. Dead internet theory proving itself.
>>483323565i don't get it
>>483323627Classic swiggerjank
>should fix the speari dont get it. How do they not know if the patch will fix the Spear? We've seen the PS5 dev kits.
>>483323710>laser gets blocked by solid objectsWOW, physics!
>>483323710Ain't no fucking way, I'm taking the bait and starting my game now
>>483324651That would require someone to play the game, and nobody at AH does or something like the bugged patrol spawns or broken SPM would never have gone live.
>>483323627I don't understand the appeal of flamethrower x jetpack. Its not like the arc thrower + jetpack where clearing the distance is actually helpful in setting you up in the arc throwers effective range. It seems counter intuitive. Flamethrower is the only time I justify using the energy shield backpack, since it helps me hold the flamethrower on enemies longer without fear of being slowed or damaged.
>>483325063I dont take a backpack ever. I just scrounged the jetpack from someone else after they died and I saw they were calling in a new one.
>>483325343I like to take Jetpack + Arc thrower, Energy shield + Flame thrower, and Supply Pack + Railgun/HMG.
>>483323710Alright, you successfully baited me. Well done. I tried on the jungle planet and the desert planet, it still goes through.
something something STAND BACK
>>483325523Redpill me on what my other 2 stratagem slots should be.
>>483321351>can't kill with the dominator at a distanceSkill issue
If Orbital Scatter is up do I just not take orbitals at all? Every orbital becomes hot trash feels like. All the traits are so unfun. Why not have them make enemies stronger, or spawn mutations, or literally anything but nerf your tools.
>>483323340>>hordeLmaoTell me how you killed it in its entirety only it was just after the clip ended
>>483325747Krill yourself
>>483325854>If Orbital Scatter is up do I just not take orbitals at all?You can usually get away with Gatling, but the others I wouldnt take. On orbital scatter I take a rocket sentry alongside the AC one.
>>483325854You can still take Laser and Railcannon if you really feel like it
>ion storm in progress >that means your strategems can't be calledI guess that also means the bots can't call reinforcements, right?
>>483325854Datamining and recent additions (shrieker and gunship patrols) gives off the impression that enemy variations and buffs are gonna be replacing stratagem nerfs soon. I hope so at least.
>>483325925What? Im specifically talking about the kill count here. You know 100% if had kept the clip running until the goldfish burst out and the kill count kept going up after some pellets hit what the reply would be.its already silly enough that the clip I posted to show even at extreme distance in unfavourable height set ups you can just spray the breaker randomly and kill things to someone saying it couldnt be done keeps getting used as the gold standard. You can literally see in the last frame exactly what im talking about.
>>483325962No, shrimply realize you're a waste of oxygen
>>483325653i take usually eagle air strike and orbital railcannon for heavies and structures
>>483325513nta, there are some trees/shrubs that it's blocked by and others that it shoots through, it's kinda fucking annoying. the creek biome has a bunch of them
>>483326347You don't know me whale enough to be able to say that
>>483323627Should have jetpacked away, or when you caught fire you should have dived towards the camera, away from the enemy and away from the other fire.There are a number of things you could have done better.
>>483326159I hope the removal of the -1 stratagem modifier is proof that they're starting to see the light and eventually will come around to seeing that "LMAO, your stratagem just misses!!!" is just as gay.
>>483325854hilariously, I think they put in that new biome because it fucks with Eagles harder than Orbitals
>>483326158Hahaha how about fuck you.
>>483326475I'm not falling for that twice.
>>483323565>throwing a fit over a troll farming awardsits more than likely the other way around
>>483327580you don't have to, i just run the sickle all the time and the recent MO planet that's got the same biome as the creek was pissing me off because some of the shrubs that look like they should be able to be shot through were just eating shots
>>483326158Why would radio interference stop a signal flare from working?
>>483326817I never caught fire anon. Setting aside that the the fires on the ground in missions cannot set you on fire, you can very clearly see every single point of damage came in bursts from the charger "hitting" meYou'll also notice on a closer rewatch that I am never given a chance to dive or even stim. The first hit knocked me down, as soon as my character finished his recovery animation, I was hit again. The finally I was knocked down, then forced into a prone animation for no reason, and then halfway through the stim as I couldnt stand up or dive I was knocked again.I
>>483326158
>>483327884Just so you dont misunderstand, when I say "fires on the ground in missions". I mean fires that burn forever not caused by the player. Obviously incen grenades, napalm and flamethrower fire will set you on fire. But the ground fire that spawns in with the map will never do so, which is evidenced by me not catching on fire
>>483327726Because it stops ours? If it's just a manual flare with no radiation or anything how come it comes regardless if there's any visibility or other bots around?
>>483326817I think he should have jump-packed on top of the charger and flamed throwed its leg while straddling it like a raging bull
>>483328137wish granted, due to the radio interference flares will no longer summon dropships during ion storms. instead ion storms will cause bot radios to go crazy and they'll release all of their reinforcements to the operation area simultaneously
>>483327017only because the trees are indestructible
>>483319116you can see the severe bullet drop this gun has, and funny enough the rounds being illuminated is the only reason you could even operate it that far away since it lets you cheat the angle
>>483328192poss?
>>483328192They can hit you with their insta kill stomp attack if you're on their back. I tried that.
>>483328459>severe bullet drop this gun hasIs that even relevant when you can just aim upwards and still hit and kill the enemies?
>>483328609Perhaps you were too close to the front, or it was recently patched. I've rodeo'd a few charges and the worst that's happened is i've fallen off
>Divers spread like Eagle-1's buttcheeks across the galactic map>buggers going to lose phact despite the waste of player effort>botters fucking around in the low thousands on a bunch of defense planetsThe Super Cirque du Soleil has nothing on this shitshow.
>>483328274Could be sorta cool if bots didn't had infinite troopsIt's kinda what annoys me about them, they're a half ass conversion from a horde shooter to a cover shooter, because the game is made for the former and doesn't have enough to do the latter well
>>483329036I haven't tried it since mid May. I was standing pretty much in the middle from the tip of the head to the tip of the ass. It was such a bullshit death that I just alt f4'd and got off the computer for a while.

>>483329583Could you please sit down?
>>483325653i like to use gas and precision strikegas clears holes for me while i arc some bugs and if i encounter a titan or a charger i dont want to deal with i can use the precisionwith the right timing and positioning you can jump over a charger and throw the strike where he crashes and he wont be able to move out of the way fas tenough

>>483328609>>483329036This one never got the chance to stomp but it seemed relevant.
I have a question about using directx11 . I see people suggest to use "--use-d3d11" as a launch option with the double dash in front. I'm asking because I've just now noticed I had mine entered as "-use-d3d11" with the single dash. Is the double dash actually necessary?
So is the Helldiver Corps an elite force of commandos or a bunch of nigh useless cannon fodder propped up by propaganda?
>>483334453Just copy and paste, copypaster
>>483334585Depends on the day
>>483334585a bunch of useful cannon fodder commandos propped up by propaganda and an elite force of pilots and fire control officers
>>483334585they're pretty elite, considering they won the last war, but the ayys are so numerous even the elite are also cannon fodderSEAF troops are the REAL fodder
>>483334453yea use that one
Are all of the ship upgrades just completely broken at this point?
>>483336418They're broken because they have no revision control and the current game is probably based off an older version or some components of it are old, ever since they """reverted""" the spawn logic.
>>483334585From a gameplay perspective they're virtually fearless, extraordinarily physically fit, and they handle weapons absurdly well even under extreme pressure. This is weirdly at odds with the fluff which implies they're hastily recruited and given the bare minimum of training before being popsicled and stuffed into a super destroyer.
when will we get the SEAF troops following us around and helping us? EDF does that and they react to you too
>>483337334its retarded as a premise because the players will get better at the game through repitition and flies in the face of the "they complete basic training and die in 2 minutes" narrative the devs run with
>>483335603>>483334585>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6w0ZTECB9oThe Helldivers in the first game were much more serious and older. Sounding more like soldiers from those old RTS games. Even the crew you got had hair and personality. I don't know if they went too far in making a shitty starship trooper parody or this is intentional to show how bad the situation is for SE now since the 1st Galactic War. The voices are clearly very young kids and barely any of the armors have the black/yellow color scheme. I'm probably giving them too much credit
>>483337436Ah yes, the wingdiver NPCs who just love to drop in front of your line of fire as you're pulling the trigger on your most explosive ordnance.
>>483337593I always imagined they're clones of one guy, and that's what makes them effective, it's a fighting force using a prime genetic template that gets better and better with time
>>483337702the helldivers are chuds now so they can't be serious
>>483337702Are they arabs? What fucking accent is that?
>>483337845that would make more sense than the current "parody"
>>483338058they sound like swedes trying to hide their accents
>>483338058Old British man who has smoked and drank all their life accent.
>>483337714DON'T HIT THEM
>JUST LET THEM COOK>80 weeks later>drop a giant turd that leaves the game in an even worse stateshit's gonna be peaking below 10k by the end of august
>>483338090I guess HD2 is another victim of the "reference to Starship Troopers fuses the book and the movie" problem
>we are at the point where explosive resistant armor is better for bugs than robots >bot rockets do more ballistic damage than explosive so you can take more hits with the fat fuck heavy armor with extra padding than any of the fortified heavy setsWhat the fuck is AH doing
>>483338315Based numbers schizo.
>>483338315Tbf, 450k wasn't gonna last
>>483338524you should HOLD YOUR BREATH, KNOCK ON WOOD AND SAY 1000 HAIL SUPER EARTH bro :)
>>483338524To be fair, fortified has recoil reduction as well
>>483338315>you incels dont understand super earth is le bad and helldivers are supposed to be inept>why the fuck is no one playing our game!?congratulations
>>483338524>>bot rockets do more ballistic damage than explosive so you can take more hits with the fat fuck heavy armor with extra padding than any of the fortified heavy setsIs that true? I was saving fro Executioner bc I thought the Fortified trait was what was keeping me aliveI don't wanna buy the fat armor
>>483338646The 450K peak wasn't even realIt was during the server issues, when people would just afk en masse in their ships and thousands more would leave the game open trying to get inThe actual peak is probably in the high 300Ks
>>483339034In general you're going to get your ass blasted by heavy devs more than rocket devs on D9 bots anyway, so that doughboy armour is better than the explosive resistance armours. Though you can't go wrong with the heavy medic armour either, but you are slightly more prone to being flinch locked to death by gunfire otherwise.
>>483334761>>483335780Well I switched out to only a single dash and so far I don't notice any changes in performance. Thanks guys.
>>483338990GW for all it's faults at least let everyone enjoy the fascist power fantasy without any finger wagingThough maybe that will change
>>483338315not bad and we still have hope~
>>483339034Yes. Rockets do 75 ballistic with only 60 explosive. It gets more complicated because the explosive resistance only applies to explosives while raw armor values protect you from both damage types. Fat fuck armor is actually the best armor for bots if you care about protection. Extra padding med armor if you don't want to run heavy armor. Another fun fact, light armor doesn't have less armor so you take more damage like how other games do it. for some fucking reason, AH made you take boosted damage if you are wearing light. So that light armor with extra padding that leaves it at 100 armor still takes more damage than med armor that has 100 armor value because ALL light armors have an inherent debuff that boosts all receiving damage by a certain amount. Actual dogshit balancing
>>483339583What the fuck are you on about? GW has been a hundred times more vocal about their antifascism than Arrowhead.
>>483340262>GW has been a hundred times more vocal about their antifascism than Arrowhead.Since when? They put book after book, game after game, ad after ad, all treating the Imperium, the Guard and the Space Marines completely seriously and heroically AH can't go 5s without reminding you it's a parody

>>483337436when we get those tank stratagems that need a gunner and a driver
>>483340573the tank will be made of the same material as the mechs and die instantly to a random turret sentry across the map

>>483340470
>>483340075So the best bot armor is the standard,Damn it I wanted to buy the Exterminator It looks cool
>>483340751>10+ minute cooldown.>Will probably die to 2 or 3 cannon tower/tank shots at most. Being disabled in 1 shot.>Will probably have a slow turret movespeed like how Battlefield games have been doing tank turrets since BFV so you can't 180 flick aim and shoot something that is immediately behind you.It's going to be absolute trash.

>>483340751correct, however the SEAF will be made solely for people with no friends who want some lemmings to team reload them and open bunkers
>>483341158>cooldown>implying you won't be limited to one per mission
>>483341051>The Imperium of Man stands as a cautionary tale of what could happen should the very worst of Humanity's unyielding xenophobia sets in.Except the xenophobia the Imperium has is justified because the ayy lymaos are genuinely WORSE than them. The comedy isn't in "lmao humans are bigots" it's "the bigot were right".
>>483341550they always try to make it look bad but make enemies no person would think is redeemable. "Anti-fascism" is for midwits
>>483341550There's no comedyGW copes with "it's le satire" but it's been treating the property serious as a car crash for decades nowThere's no Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau or half elves or dancing space marinesThere's nothing of that deliberately ridiculous 2000 AD tone and look, yet GW pretend is does because it's a useful shield to bide behind when they obviously glorify their most popular faction

>>483346853It doesnt matter. The normalfag zeitgeist is fully aware of how good it is, and AH balances primarily on play and win rates. The CEO also uses it as his bug gun. I would not be surprised if the Breaker Incen is picked 75% of the time on the bug front if the players are over level 25 and have the steeled vets warbond.The main issue with the Incen being in this state is that its a case of a gun being simply just a bit too good while also making not much sense in terms of its concept (fire shotgun that is actually a light incendiary flak cannon if you aim at long distances and spam fire). if you reduced DoT if the pellets hit a certain distance or over away I think you keep a very fun, solid gun that isnt in risk of being snapped in half all the time, unlike now where im just waiting for it to get fucked.

>>483334585a force of dual purpose insurgents & shock troops who do dirty nasty backline jobs against disproportionate enemy resistance using disproportionate individual firepower, being at the same time SOCOM super elites and the highly motivated if potentially questionably skilled irregulars they typically train, the difference coming down entirely to experience gained through successful extractions and maybe offscreen training regimens for the replacements after a quick defrost/refrost cycle
>>483300304Those fucks sometimes randomly lock on and then stop, as if I didn't see them.
>>483296896if you wear fortified heavy armor with the shield backpack, you can tank a few hitsbut that's a lot to commit for a mech or 2 every 10 minutes

If the next MO is bugs then we are going to lose all progress on Vandalon lmao

NOPE not taking off dynamic HUD

>>483357672>low dif shitter
>>483357794The setting arrowhead changed the default of after everyone clowned on them for getting wiped in the meridia mission on d3. Now you can't see the difficulty and time left unless you change the setting back.
>>483358052hey, not my fault they changed it like that. NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW I'M PLAYING 8 AND I HOPE EVERYONE THINKS I'M PLAYING 3>>483357672it's pretty nice and removes some of the HUD unless you hit the map button. i don't need the objectives on the right side all the time
>>483358198>everyone clowned on them for getting wiped in the meridia mission on d3fukken el oh el i didn't know that
I love it so much bros I don't care if it isn't meta it's fun. I already liked the regular liberator but rarely used it at a range that merited the scope so this is just a straight upgrade for me. Bullet go fast make monkey brain go ook ook
>>483358602>Bullet go fast make monkey brain go ook ookGood thing it's for the jungle, by the jungle.You're reasoning is based by me. I use the pump action Punisher on bugs because I wanna use a boomstick in the brush and I find it the most sporting weapon to use against the critters
>nuke nursery mission>they already have explosion holes at the drill siteIs the only thing you can do leave and start a new mission
>>483359351remember to jump over the hole you drilled
>>483358602Faster bullet go, more I pick it, simple as.
>>483359037I alternate between using it on full auto and burst. It actually performs incredibly well in first person because of the added recoil reduction. I really like the punisher as a shotgun but I like a more traditional boomstick, I grab the break action whenever I can get away it.

d9 lobbies? yes I use the conclib on bugs and bots
I can't decide whether to use heavy medic or heavy fortified armor against bots with the HMG. The stim duration bonus is really good especially with experimental infusion, but 30% recoil reduction makes the HMG a lot more accurate.
how the fuck do I turn on dynamic hud I didn't know about this shit
>>483360860how good is your aim?
>>483360836>Yes, I do bring Expert Extaction to dif. 9 pubs.
>>483341550The funny thing is the Tau could have made that a point about the imperium GW pussy out and make them just as gray.
>>483360860this is the best and only really valid heavy armor at the moment.>recoil reduction>extra grenadesyou don't need explosive damage resistance, stims, or fortified armor. you're talking the heavy armor to soak up damage. The only reason to take stims is to go FAST with the new booster, but you're better off using a medium armor for stimspam since you're more likely to need to stim after taking hits
I am so fucking tired of SOS beacons being private.
>>483347048Yeah, but I can get the Engineer armor for that and the Juggernaut looks sick
>>483361789>heh I'll make it a private game so I won't be bothered by strangers>STRANGERS HELP
>>48336207699% of SOS beacons are caused by inputting their code accidently while trying to reinforce
>>483361225extra grenades are completely useless when I am running a supply pack. even if I wasn't they would still be pretty useless. the extra stims are useless too but the extra duration is really good.
>>483361225So what's the meta on armors, Class + Effects?
>When the SAM is right next to extraction and you have the gunship modifier.Also fuck you Joel give me more xp. I kill like 5 squadron.
>>483362782cute esl
>>483362782SAM can straight up turn a bot diff 9 into a diff 7 mission lol
>>483357289That's happened to me the past few games too. I was also just in a game where I killed the bot who was piloting the little walker and the walker kept following me around without a driver, like a lost puppy dog.
crossbow is fun
>>483362615Engineer for more nades. Everything else is useless scrub copeLight for bugs Med for bots

>>483364746It's full of choke points you funnel them into and then peepee slap them easy mode
>>483364863Pls don't post here again
>>483364734when you have a supply pack you really don't tend to run out of grenades
>>483365226That means you can throw even more nades doofus
>>483361225alright I have settled this, extra stim duration is so much more useful than recoil reduction with the amount of damage you get to ignore. when I can use 53 or more stims in a single game and not die that is a very good feeling
>>483365326The thing is that supply pack only gives 2 grenade restock whether you wear engineer or not Therefore, you theoretically have 14 grenades engineer with full backpack of supply and 12 grenade without engineer
>>483365403Depends on the weapon I guess, I like recoil reduction more than anything else with the AC and the HMG

>>483364432You mean heavy for bots
Is hmg legit now on bots?
>>483367192I imagine it's okay because of it killing gunships
>>483362615Light Medic for bugsThe exact same thing for botsGotta go fast
After learning that there is a safe spot at the center of a 380mm barrage, I am tempted to not even get the atmospheric monitoring upgrade (reduce barrage spread). Is this a good idea?
does anyone know the name/artist of the fanart girl with the red armor and orange hair
>>483368370WOAH PUSSA SNIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
>>483368313I don't think it or any of the tier 4 ship upgrades work right now anyway so who knows.
>>483368313You don't want a safe spot, you want everything in a large circle turned into desert. I guess if you want a nutty strategy for extraction you don't have to
>>483368605I like the idea of being able to stand in the middle and kill anything around me. If I want to make sure to hit something I'll just avoid throwing the stratagem directly on top
>>483367192It is amazing if you take a supply pack, the eruptor, and heavy medic armor. You become an almost unkillable machine of death
>>483369426Why the eruptor?
>>483342909you're fucking retarded
>>483367192>gunship grounder>factory feller>hulk hammerer>devastator devastatoryeah its great, but only if you have a supply pack. Taking out hulks with face shots can be annoying but very doable
>>483369669nta but for the heavy trooper style points i guess. Eruptor doesn't deal with anything that isn't handled by the HMG so I'd rather have a Sickle or something to mop up little bots and cover me from berserkers and melee bots while the HMG needs to reload.okay I guess it deals with static turrets better than the HMG but that's the only thing I can think of
>>483367354>Light Medic for bugs...I'm not wearing this thing
>>483369669because it kills scout striders in 1 shot and devastators in 2 unless they have a shield then it might take 3, and it also stuns them which the hmg does not.
>>483369945all the medic armors are dogshit in terms of aesthetics unfortunately
>>483370537I like the bonesnapper
>>483370537It makes sense in a way, they're reflective of their positionBut no one uses these armors to actually be a medic, you do it to kill things hopped o ndrugsSo the next armor should be obvious
>>483370642this and trench paramedic are good. i don't like the other ones
>>483370302So eruptor for scouts and sometimes devastors, everything else hmg?
>>483370883you should be mostly be using your secondary for the troopers
>>483370852>But no one uses these armors to actually be a medicBoy, I wish I could

>>483369945it looks bad because it's not paired with enforcer helmet
>>483370852Need a heal grenade that applies stim effects to anyone around you, and benefits from stim duration of your armorNeed a gun that allows you to shoot stims at people and benefits from stim duration on your armorThe janky ass 'interacting' with other players with this game's high level of desync just doesn't work at all, if you've ever tried to play supply backpack and actually resupply teammates you'll know the pain>>483372314Don't worry about it ESL sama
>>483372314>ladyI have some bad news for >(You).
Why does extraction on bot planet take 2 minute while bug take 1 minute and 50 second ?
>>483372485No, it just looks bad
>>483372485>mismatched white on the helmet and armoryikes
>>483372108>>483372205You can't decry modern vidya practices and complain about the state of the industry while also bragging about preordering stuff
>>483372753I thought that was the twitch armor. Preorder armor is bright blue and gets you shot
>>483372753I can't have my cake an eat it too? I don't know if it's worse, I didn't preorder I paid some probably pajeet key seller
>>483369945>>483372485>>483372629>every armor and helmet in the game with white is off-white>except the only light medical armor in the gamelmaoanyway I cope with this because it's marginally less ugly than the helmet the suit comes with
>>483372753that's a twitch drop armor and nobody said anything of the sort
>>483372629Bonesnapper and Butcher match the off-white quite nicely, as does Winter Warrior and DynamoHaven't found a Light set that fits perfectly...
When are we getting the Wolf Brigade armor. Just give it to me already. Please.
>>483372982They need to rework it, it's not chunky enough to be the real chud armor.
I don't know why I didn't pre-order, I had full intention of buying this game and in fact did purchase it on day 1, but I didn't pre-order it almost out of principle or spite maybe? I dunno
>>483373053It will look good with the eradicator armor which is pretty much picrel
>>483373087I didn't buy till like at least a month after release.
>>483373053I'll take what I can get as long as I have my MG and ammo pack
>>483373053a candidate for extra padding if ever there was one.
>>483373249I'd rather it be the less recoil armor so you could stand up with your machine gun
>every month I hope the chud armour is out on the super store>it's 2 variations of of dogshit insteadI've bought every warbond and yet I have 3000 SC just from casually playing the gameEven if the chud set is thousands of SC I'll get it just fucking release it god damn it
>>483373429theres no way you got 8k playing casually, I'VE been playing casually since day 1 and dont even have 3k
Will fire do anything to bots, or is it completely useless? If I took flamethrower, incendiary impact grenades, napalm, etc a full flame loadout. Would it be a waste of time? I dont like fighting bugs but I like fire
Any lobbies? Down for whatever
>>483373387I'm pretty sure is says the recoil reduction only works when crouching or prone.
>>483374008I heard they might have changed it in the latest update. For a long time it just made Standing -> crouching recoil and crouching -> prone recoil
>>483372856Weirdly enough, it seems it's the only one available for sale https://www.ebay.com/itm/405004420514?itmmeta=01J16RVP6HA5KDD67NC2KC9B75&hash=item5e4c2505a2:g:Wi8AAOSwTGxmQMSe&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4Mz2%2FTeHvrtMPZz42QL3h25XJcCDQeSYRK8qQMd274IudnoZtemOz%2Br6wt3Mie78tkDKfTnTfvPpni%2FmLqNtEx6X89T8BVd7UGeRWH4c5w6hBdKKGF67YxLAqpS3AziiMSJ4r%2Fr211aGtTW5JRpQceloO3z7j%2FkacwqvGNWEWTfNLpdLJVnnOVRcMjho%2F%2Bx2G52rNE3HJ0fJ8hDfGnJSscSO6OjKdVJLSglhiurHloo6KvU3BbP3QMp2vH0yBP2WMYcY7mRjdAx0wmUQhXueY79VQ2P7ilrKLH3wddmGpB4W%7Ctkp%3ABFBMqOPu2Ilk
man I wish this game had a hub world like destinythat was always fun in itself to fuck around in the tower between missions
>>483374529I wonder if the platoon system will introduce hubs
>>483373870You can pretty much kill everything if you target the l weak spot beside gunships. Although a hulk is hard to kill.
>>483374529>travel to superearth after a mission>shooting range to test primaries>lunch room with random meals you can eat for credits (they do nothing)>arm wrestling tables>maybe a pit where you bet on two bugs fighting eachother>large war maps around the room for people to loiter around>occasionally an AI controlled walker goes through the hub and out the other side, just for flairIt'd be too kino
>>483374529>>483374730Imagine hugging complete strangers on an orbital defense platform overlooking the 'creek....
>>483266817Only lactose intolerant "people" will disagree with this
>>483266817Bots were more fun on release than they are now. They used to be very challenging with instant kill rockets that seriously made you think about positioning, fields of fire, etc.Now the rockets ragdoll you into a devastator laser stunlock and they drop 50 berserkers on you during objectives to make you 'tactically manuever more'. They just aren't fun to fight like they used to be, and if you disagree you're a launch month bugshitter
>>483374807I was gonna say mars but yeah basically>>483374730you get a space station, who knows what's on it

NEW>>483376080
>>483266817Yea. Bug is like a shooting gallery. Sometimes you don't even have to shoot and let your turrets + stratagem do all the work.Bots actually do something and every units have to be accounted for instead of just being ignored like half of the bug's enemy roster
>>483373870>>483374803I'm pretty darn sure that hulks, gunships, factories, and tanks are just straight immune to fireeven when shot at their vents
>>483374807holy fucking shit anon that sounds super comfy and funmakes me wish that kind of future was actually possible
>>483374807>go to shooting range>everyone is shooting each other instead of firing down range
>>483375851The platoon system makes references to getting access to certain strats if you're deployed on the same planet your station is orbiting. We don't know yet if you'll be able to actually see it or go to it, just that the carpet bomb and nuke are linked to it.
