Big fucking outpost editionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQl2BmhSCsAhttps://blog.playstation.com/2024/07/23/helldivers-2s-biggest-update-yet-escalation-of-freedom-drops-august-6/>Previous>>487433560>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC and PS5 where players fight against hordes of alien insects and robots to Spread Democracy. Players wage war on a number of contested planets, each with a different environment, completing as many objectives as possible within a procedurally generated area while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful operations a planet can be completely liberated, and the player base must cooperate to try to liberate the entire galaxy by focusing and combining their efforts as much as possible.https://store.steampowered.com/app/553850/HELLDIVERS_2/https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers-2/>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is the origin of the setting and basic gameplay formula of HELLDIVERS 2. The major difference being that HELLDIVERS is a top-down shooter, its mechanics being based primarily on Arrowhead's previous game Magicka.https://store.steampowered.com/app/394510/HELLDIVERS_Dive_Harder_Edition/https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers/>INFORMATION RESOURCEShttps://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Helldivers_Wikihttps://helldiverstrainingmanual.com/https://divers.gg/https://helldiverscompanion.com/https://helldivers.io/https://invadersfromplanet.space/helldivers-2/>NEWSEscalation of Freedom August 6th https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQl2BmhSCsA [Embed]CURRENT WARBONDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbb5ngK36x4
What kind of bug is this?
>>487570073Best advice for eagles is to take the OG airstrike and forget the rest. Especially strafing run. Never even reached tolerably decent tier.
>>487571179Ah I fucked the formatting. Just pretend everything's the same as it always is.
>>487571435subject line is intact, thread shows up in catalog under /hdg/ tag, nothing else matters. Thanks for baking anon.
Can you use the jetpack while sprinting and if yes then how
I will never, EVER give DRG a try.
>>487571382Actually they made it punch through med and heavy armor a while ago. It still pales to air strike but air strike has always been the gold standard.
>>487571382>airstrike on bots>napalm on bugsStrafing run is a decent option for extra eagle if you want to get the 10% re arm speed. It gets 5 uses and is versitile enough that you can use it inbetween the more niche uses of other eagles.So you end up picking a weaker stratagem to get 10% more airstrikes/napalms. Also strafing is just cool (wich is also important).
>>487571179That mega automaton base and the massive bug outpost look cancerous as fuck, tight corridors, shit tons of fabs/bugholes with the addition of the Impalers cucking you from running away, spore chargers farting out fog so you and your team can't see shit while being gangbanged by 500 hunters, normal chargers and bile titans.
I really badly want some kind of heavy gunner armor perk that combines the PP handeling buff with recoil reduction
>>487573509Jinroh chud armor never :(
>>487571298He realized he brought a Recoiless Rifle to bots and died from cringe.
>>487568864Speaking of wives, you behave like a hysterical woman desperately aching for the next thing to cry and scream over at the top of your lungs
>>487571298I see your name, fagIf I ever get matched with you I'm griefing you
>>487573509>armor perk that combines the PP handeling buff with recoil reductionoh fuck how overpowered and fun that would be
I wish melee weapons were into the game already.I wish you could kill everything with them as well, if you are autistic enough.
>>487573509the current system is extremely limiting and having one "canon" perk that can't be changed and a second slot that you can pick and choose from the other perks would be a much better system.>but that would be overpowered!I don't care. Also only medium and heavy armor gets the extra slot.
>>487576429they could make them very faction specific toolike a plasma whip that can disassemblew the shit out of bots and a Metal Gear HR blade that can dice bugs.
>>487576820I want a chainsaw you can set on fire for bugs, though.
>>487576959I take your flamer chainsaw and raise you by one lightning-powered morning star that sometimes blitzes nearby bots on hit
>>487576959>>487577316And what if we had some nice cool armor with an angry D:< face on it. And it came with a sort of deeper voice modulator that sounded a little robotic. And we all started calling each other "battle brother?" And then maybe there is new lore that a long time ago there were some battle brothers who weren't so battle brother-y, and now they're like bad battle brothers. We could call it the Helldiver Heresy or something. I dunno.

>>487581930Unfortunately no. Just came off a game where it was like that as well. Enjoy your invisible mines.

>>487582759don't worry, it was actually an interesting weapon for a little while that functioned similarly to how you thought it didalexus just pre-nerfed it before it dropped, so it was broken on arrival and still a direct downgrade after the "balance patch"

>>487582981*purifier
Did you enjoy Joel's DMing with the bot front? Did you like the week of no regen where not a single non-MO planet was taken? Did you like that 2 planets were lost to attacks from the no regen planets? Is Joel's cooking to your liking?
>>487581880dumb bitch keeps dropping cluster bombs on my head, wish I could kick her out and get some kind of artillery workshop for better and more orbitals instead
>get teamkilled in HD1Laughs all around>get teamkilled in HD2Endless seethingHow is it possible to stray this far from the sovl of the original?
>>487583295It's not her fault the last bomblet is potentially programmed to drop on a diver's head if it can by Arrowhead.
>>487583342The only seethers are redditors that leave crossplay on so they get killed tons every mission to the sound of smoke alarms chirping on 5 with the emergency pelican, instead of true divechads from here that only die to wacky bullshit every once in a while from meme loadouts and laugh about it before full recovering on 9 and extracting with full samples at the half mark.
>>487583119I could tolerate Joel's DMing if they didn't change the liberation algorithm, but as is it's just completely horrid. The galactic war "gameplay" is clearly not designed for percentile-based liberation.>bots/bugs finish all assaults in <2 days>playerbase majority needs to focus on one planet to be able to defend it>unless the minority was working on another planet, only about ~1.5 liberations are possible every 24 hours>constant assaults mean losing ground isn't just "likely," it's always a certainty no matter what>majority of playerbase doesn't play one front unless an MO demands it, so 100% of liberations fail or drop to 0% eventually on the ignored frontAll the while, tooltips taunt you with meaningless hints like: "See a planet about to fall? Get your friends together and defend it. Every battle counts!" (which could be considered a purposefully worthless piece of advice if it didn't exist back when it was actually true).Joel changed the algorithm because he's pathetic and can't handle player intervention, and in the meantime he's made player-led progression completely impossible. It's less of a "live service game" and more of a "story which you have zero part in, which gets mediocre, buggy DLC every couple months." (We're also ignoring that the DLC always comes with a worthless AR variant, skins that nobody asked for, and the majority of the time: completely worthless secondary/grenade options).If I had to say one thing was, objectively, the single worst mistake the devs made, it'd be changing the algorithm at Joel's request.
>>487584464They want to avoid the HD1 situation where the FUCKING PICOSECOND bugs disappeared from the map, all the bugdivers immediately fucked off leaving everyone else to have to fight the bots and squids alone. But now we have a forever war, which means nothing matters.
>>487583119>Did you like the week of no regen where not a single non-MO planet was taken?You know I think I just realized something We have two types of campiagns; Liberation and DefenseDefenses are just that and do need more defend mission types (Unit Rallying, beachhead destruction, supply line ambushes, Resource Scuttling, A good Ol' Hold the Keep)Liberations though is the bread and butter, these let us take planets but those planets are often just flip flopped back and forth.I think we need a new campaign type: SiegeSelect Planets/Sector are simply too hard to snipe and must be broken over the course of RL monthsThis would make those flip flop planets less ignorable/forgettable while making defense a more common occurrence (I like defending, seeing enemies dying on my barbed wire and minefields gets me off) kind of like the flowing of water on the beach.This might not be a perfect approach but I it would make forever liberation planets (hellmire/estanu) no longer a thing. It also lets Joel and co just let us take things/fight to hold things without the danger of us 'going the wrong way' by giving us hard points to aim for.
>>487577316Could melee weapons be a possibility in the future? A cool chainsaw to grind off titan legs would be cool
>9>playing with a guy who shouldnt be doing 9 bugs>its not even that hard>just doesnt take the correct shit with him>seems nice in chat doe>proceed to finish mission with no reinforcements>decide fuck it>do the next dive with him>he dies 7 times ina row>wondering wtf is going on>decide to follow him>get near him>suddenly he gets fucked by a charger>okay>pull out spear cause fuck it>he rage quitsIt was a cursed run, it ended up with just me and one other dude. We got cornered while trying to save high priority civs, and we called in supplies the first one didnt show up. Called in the second one, didn't show up.Turns out it was landing on the building ontop of usWhile we were also saving the civilians, we had three bile titans at once, proceeded by the bug invasions again and again.We hopped off the fucking planet with 1 sample kek honestly fuck that run, still got full stars though
>>487584831I just wish the SEAF would contribute literally at all. We've got tons of planets that will never be taken, just make a fluff post about building training camps on some of them and make liberation percent more influenced by how close they are to super earth/our frontlines. For the enemy "home sectors" just make it harder or something.
Since we got no warbond trailer that pretty much confirms it's coming after the update. How much after is anyone's guess
>>487583119I wish they stopped pretending player choice matters.You either follow The Blob or are an active hinderance to whatever The Blob is doing. Just because of % based decay and liberation scaling with player count.
>>487584768>>487584464I guess, if we put on our media literacy goggles and "read a movie" like a good boy, we can see that there's an artistic message here. "War is... bad and meaningless..."There's an argument to be made that this is the Pathologic of live service games, that it's not meant to be fun and that we're supposed to feel helpless, worthless, and frustrated. That's if we assume every decision and choice is willful, or if we just take what we want as a consumer to extract a message.The issue is that the game wasn't released like that, and the devs don't really even seem to understand their own game or how it works. Rather than seeing the war for what it (figuratively) is, they mistake the forest for its trees and think everything begins and ends at a spreadsheet.They also assume "Carry X from point A to point B" is new (when it comes to that stupid fucking grub stranding mission), but those missions have existed in greater complexity from the game's release.Ultimately, AH devs have a game that carries an intentional message that's unintentionally conveyed through bad gameplay mechanics. It lacks critical merit because it still makes war "fun" so even the unintentional bits are artistically overwritten, so all you end up with is a vacuous and dull galactic forever war that's decided exclusively by which thumb exists where on the spreadsheets.I can see, maybe 1 year down the line, a <5-10k size playerbase that's relatively coordinated and intelligent enough to handle Joel's mediocre, shitty DMing. Right now, though, there's just too many fundivers who play diff 3 on 0 liberation planets, taking liberation points away from MO/liberationdivers who actually want to feel influence in the story.
>>487583342long strat cooldowns is one thing i see cited often>killed in a stupid fashion by some Dingus>get called in by XxShadowBladexX on the other side of the map>Hope I have spare something(s) to work with >If not it's time to hit the legs or scavenge.Personally this matter little to me as I'm currently in my World Spawn Weapons arcBut what upsets me is dying to a lack of thinking. Cluster weapons, impact granades, incelbreacker spamming, mines in exits.Like ffs why?I was once launched by those puffer-shrooms. Mid-Air I caught someones RR shot. I lived thanks to my Armour's perk but was stomped out by the titan I just 'saved' Technically teamklled, very funny.

Does solo play teach you good habits or bad habits? I feel like if you can handle 8-9 solo then it should be a breeze in coop but you also get used to playing selfishly and with a jack of all trades loadout.
>>487586909Probably does teach you bad habits but I fuck off anyway to do my own thing and the only reason I step out of solo is so that it doesn't go down to emergency extraction almost every time as I autistically scour the map for samples
>>487586909It'll give you an unrealistic expectation of how easy D9 bugs/bots are, since you're getting halved/quartered spawnrates.
>>487586713Saar, please do NOT the needful and let Femrir be of the capturing. PLEASE I’m still waging and worried that it’s going to be closed by the time the weekend rolls around

>>487587263>he doesn't knowFenrir is already under SE control, he's playing a worthless op because the planet's good for samples.
>>487585503>it's coming after the updateit's going to be with it, don't be so silly
>>487582759I havent tried it vs bugs but on bots its a fun if a bit weak sidegrade to the plasma punisher.It can easily stagger groups of devestators. You just trade the bullet drop for firerate.
wish we could get a proper AK
>>487585000Plebstedt says no because "hurr unrealistic" even though you won't find a single real-world soldier that gets sent out without a knife.
I think the game is capping my rare samples at 100I think this might be it for me
>>487587697>Plebstedt says no because "hurr unrealistic"And yet we get chargers doing tokyo drift like it's going out of style, perfectly tracking hunters and bile spewers, and Bile Titans that for some reason we can't intentionally and efficiently kneecap even though everyone knows joints are a weakspot for any animal. Thanks Pilestadt.
>>487588204Realism for you, cartoony bullshit for the enemies
>>487588204you're just gonna accept that BTs are the one species among countless trillions that solved the frail joint problem. t. svenskefaen
>>487586909>8-9 soloCan people even do that without stealthing at least half the mission?I play solo and mostly do 6, not because it's as hard as I can deal but because it's the one difficulty I can do bases, PoIs and secondaries and still complete everything in time
>>487588373I want looney tunes sound effects for chargers. When they do an impossible turnaround or a tokyo drift, I want it to play that cartoony running sound effect, real Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner style.
>>487586909I wouldnt know, i never play solo. But the more important question>does playing /hdg/ lobbies teach you good or bad habits?I feel like i learned how to use a bunch of more off meta stratagems from watching people here use them. But i also always fight extra long after the pelican has already landed.

>>487592402Hey I didn't rage out I'm just joining frens in dorfs.t. orange
>>487586909>Does solo play teach you good habits or bad habits?I'd say good habits before making contact with the enemy, and bad habits after making contact with the enemy.When solo you are encouraged to stealth a lot and frequently break aggro from the enemy hordes. In a group there is director has the capacity to spawn more patrols which provides more opportunities to summon enemy reinforcements. This means that co-op play has greater potential for enemy numbers to just snowball out of control. To the point where breaking aggro no longer remains feasible.There's a few points that I think help keep co-op games running smoothly.1: When traversing between objectives on the map, it is important to avoid unnecessary aggro. This means that it is important to avoid patrols by pathing around them, using sound lures to distract them, or killing a patrol before they can call for help.2: When attacking a POI or objective, it is important to quickly kill all notable enemies before they can call for help. If this isn't possible, IMO it is imperative to destroy all of the fabricators/bug holes as quickly as possible and preferably before the reinforcement wave can arrive.3: When enemy reinforcements are summoned, and you're nearby, it is important to clean up your mess as quickly as possible. This generally involves things like spawn camping their dropships/summoning holes with things like eagle/orbital strikes, or setting up turrets at good vantage points to spawn camp them.4: When enemy reinforcements are summoned by teammates on a distant part of the map, it is important to be as aggressive as possible to take as much ground as possible while enemy reinforcements are on cooldown. Attack bases/objectives/pois/patrols while they are vulnerable and unable to call for help.IMO solo play encourages good habits for the first two points but bad ones for the last two.
>>487587575They haven't released a warbond with an update unless you count launch as an "update".
>>487588509And the inverse square law, and ground pressure, with not sinking into the ground with its mass concentrated on such pointed legs.

>>487604730Before they patched it, you could simply find a good map on Fenrir 3 and farm it over and over and make 1k SC in like 1 hour.Now there's a faster method that allows you to farm 1k in like 5 minutes, but it's very annoying to setup.
>>487604730It shouldn't take hours for 500sc unless you're playing normally.He abused a bug, he found a seed with 100sc and a 10sc drop in one crate and just abused a disconnect bug to keep abusing the same seed by dropping down onto the 110sc and disconnecting over and over.They have since patched that exploit.

>>487583342get TK'd by a retard that doesn't care about me>internally seetheget TK'd by a genuine mistake>understandable, let's laugh it offMy personal issue is that I hate playing with people that aren't team players and are clearly playing multiplayer because they can't play solo, because they are bad at the game.I play D9 multiplayer to enjoy the company, not because I need the help. (which is why I only play multiplayer with 4chan, and I solo when I'm not in a lobby from here or /coopg/).But that's not the case for the majority of players.They are just there because they need help to clear their missions.To them, I'm not another human being, I'm just a strong NPC that is there to carry them and help them out or something, and this is reflected by how little they care about my safety, by constantly trying to kill me indirectly in some way and never taking in account the fact that maybe I don't like getting killed.

>>487600157steam://joinlobby/553850/109775241857761416/76561198335877145Let's retry that
I'm starting to believe that AH designs the MO's with minmaxing in mind. Like the current one could probably be won with 75% of playerbase on bugs. Had the other 25% gone on bots, they could've taken a planet or two.But of course knowing any of this requires third party tools since most of the relevant information like planet HP (for defenses) and decay rates (for liberation) is hidden.
>>4876096693/4
>>487610040Yes, that's one of their philosophies.You can listen to Pile saying it in an interview.They are 100% designing the MOs with minmaxing in mind.
>>487610184Why in the world would they think that's a good idea?
>>487610501Because that's how they did it in HD1They only want to appeal to "obsessed nerds", that's the playerbase they want.
>>487610501They really believed they would only get a small dedicated playerbase that would take the effort to coordinate for stuff like thisOn an unrelated note I kinda hate that the symbols for both Eradicate and Blitz are the exact same, I find eradicate to be boring and I wanna avoid doing those but it's also mandatory that a short mission is included in every 3 mission operation so it's annoying having to comb through each one
>>487610651They've had half a year to figure things out and realize that's not the playerbase they have.
>>487610176My internet crashe sorry
>>487610040MOs are designed to mask the fact that they lock us in a hand full of planets. Its why they always flip between bugs and bots. They have us push the bug side, meanwhile all bot planets are sneakily being pushed back. New mo, retake the bot planets we lost, aaaand bugs took back their planets.They do this becouse not all biomes are made. Just watch, when we get a new biome more planets start to open up.
>>487611020No worries, they are filtering out the normies slowly but surely.
>>487605143Elaborate
>>487611358Months ago you could simply find a good planet seed and farm it over and over by mapping it and rebooting the game once you were done to farm the same map again.This resulted in mindless 1k SC per hour if you were lucky.
>Bots are gaining strength while encircledRemind me what happens when you get encircled in those map games?
>>487611218But from all the seething from MO wagies about not being able to take and hold planets i figure only people like me who dont care about the galactic war will be left.
>>487611898>they have a literal planet to mine for sources and make more botsStop applying simpleton logic to the galactic war.
>>487612121WHY WERE THEY WEAKENED IN THE FIRST PLACE THEN, NERD?
IN FACT, WHY AREN'T THEY GETTING STRONGER EVERYWHERE ELSE?
>>487612268>get weakened because no supply lines>given time to relax and rebuild your forces>back to regular strengthIt is a mystery.
I'm starting to think that this whole galactic war is pure bullshit with the strings being pulled by a demented mouthbreather who has the singular goal of keeping us fighting over and over and over and over again on the same handful of planets with the rules being made up along the way

>>487617184Skintight piloting suits leave less to get in the way of piloting, not like you need to be wearing armor in a cockpit. And regulations tend to be relaxed for the elite in the armed forces. As long as the hair doesn't get in the way of piloting it's all good. Hell, astronauts have purpose-designed hoods to keep hair out of their face during EVAs, wouldn't be a stretch to assume something like that will be in effect during combat operations.

>>487624535why even use the fucking rover anymore, the nerf wasn't big but it was just enough to make the laser rover useless and the AR rover always was fucking useless
>>487602579GGs, was fun games.
>>487624748Guard Dog isn't useless, it just requires 10 layers of esoteric knowledge.Rover is also still really good at doing what is used to do and the nerf only made it so it doesn't instantly oneshot you if you get caught in the crossfire, which is actually a buff.
dear diaryout of my eight heads today six were to invisible mines
>>487625282>Guard Dog isn't useless, it just requires 10 layers of esoteric knowledge>esoteric knowledgeThey say that knowledge is illuminating... DEMOCRACY OFFICER! WE HAVE AN ILLUMINATE SPYYYYYYYYYY!
I would use the ballistic rover if ammo blocks gave it ammo. As is it's just a total piece of shit that relies on having to spamming resupply off cooldown for maximum efficiency.
>>487625351>Calling down fortifications
I want a rover but instead of a gun, it would just be two smaller ballistic shield attached to my diver via a robotic arm. I want to be able to just use nothing but those instead of any other stratagem. I could deploy them like a big wall. I would be fucking invicible. If they could pair that with melee so I could wield a sword or two, that would be even better.
I want a shotgun rover that instantly kills teammates
>>487626334Shut the fuck up Sundowner
>>487626408lmao
where lobby>>487625282Said knowledge is to not have teammates in front of you, avoid fighting uphill and kill whatever armored enemy it is focusing on. That's about it, really.
>>487626408The shotgun you find in the map is actually a sniper rifle without fall off.You can use it to oneshot people at 300+metres if you can aim.
>>487626803The break action is really underrated.
I want spider mines
>>487626408>shotgun rover to kill teammates>not a cluster bomb rover to make aire the whole team goes togetherTsk tsk tsk. This is a COOP game, not call of duty.
>>487627047>>487626803is break action 100% spawnrate on maps?
>>487627047It being only available randomly in the field was a fun concept at first but I'd really just like to be able to directly bring it in. Or at the very least, include it as a possible spawn at POIs, I'm fucking sick of opening crates or bunkers and finding two stalwarts or something.
>>487627406i've never found one inside anything. they are always just next to ammo on the ground near POIs and sometimes the POI bug nests
>>487627250>100%I don't think so, no idea what the spawn rate is.
>>487627250If it isn't, its somewhere like 75%, it has to be. I see that thing almost everywhere.
>>487626334>>487626408I wanted a Rover that is that little guy from the Raise the Flag Mission, changes up te combat music to be some new and more democraticGives some buffs to nearby team matesThis can be further increased by the Flag support weapon.
>>487627047It can't even reliably oneshot anything. It doesn't pen armor. It's not underrated, it's shit.
>>487627678Didn't the devs say they intentionally wanted the break action to be shit as a middle finger to Doom? I can't recall.
>>487627504That's what I'm saying, currently it only shows up at very specific areas, as you said frequently bug nests or on the rare occasion one of the little safehouse holes. It should also have a spawn rate for the breakable shipping crate and bunker POIs. Just in general, increase the odds of finding one in the field.And also make it appear on bot biomes, I don't think it spawns on those at all.
>>487626408>incendiary breaker rover
>>487627820The only mention of such I've ever read is from /hdg/, but it's possible, I guess? Someone else tried to explain it away as a "environmental set piece", as a kind of sci-fi version of a farmer's shitty blunderbuss.
>>487626791>Said knowledge is to not have teammates in front of you, avoid fighting uphill and kill whatever armored enemy it is focusing on. That's about it, really.Wrong, this mostly and only applies to Rover.Guard Dog requires you to know:>reloading cycles>counting the 6 magazines>fixing cycles and avoiding seeking loops>scouting stage and how it works>aggro range and aggro priority >self-aggro mechanic>when and where to drop it>how to use it as a shieldOnce you know all of these things, it becomes very enjoyable against bots.
Capping resources so low is such niggerific behavior.
>>487627886I think the shottie always has a chance to spawn on 1) the corpse of the dude outside the destroyable bunker door under the SEAF building POI, next to him and the corpse of [faction] (bugs or bots) and the same for the dead SEAF guy at the small gravesite, again near a dead [current enemy faction] member (that is sometimes also killed via shovel). Those are the only two faction-neutral locations I can think of.
>>487627886>It should also have a spawn rate for the breakable shipping crate and bunker POIs.As you long as you mean AT and not IN because cracking a crate only to find a Shotgun would only be a singular step above Req slips. >And also make it appear on bot biomes, I don't think it spawns on those at all.I've found it on Gravesite PoiI would also like to find a Bolt Action Rifle in the field. Wooden stock, no sights, 5 in the mag that you top load. Give it AP3 and 150 damage
>>487628641>Bolt Action Rifle in the fieldSomething something thats what the railcannon rifle you find at POIs is - Arrowhead
>>487628641It'd be no worse than finding an arc rifle, or stalwart. Keep the rate of (any weapon) appearing in those POIs the same, but add the break-action to the pool of weapons that can appear there.And yea, I remembered that the gravesite sometimes spawns them and that is a faction neutral POI, though I still don't think I've ever seen it have the break-action on a bot planet.
>>487623379jokes on you, it's just 20 SC

Why don't people itt like shields. Are they mad it's a decent backpack or do they think everyone should be running supply pack or rover instead of wasting a slot on a rechargeable bubbleshield. It's a godsend against bots, especially if you're wearing light armor.
>>487632386>Fortifications will get good when walls comeYour hmg emplacement?Your shield relay?
>>487632632Don't reply to shitters
>>487632802It's a "crutch" because apparently wanting to survive and fight and not die like a retard every time you get grazed by a missile makes you incomprehensibly bad at the game.
>>487632802I can teamkill someone with a rover but I can't teamkill someone in a shield without them realizing I'm shooting at them specifically
>>487632802dont take anything anyone says here seriouslyi use the shield on bugs when using the flammenwerfer
>>487632618They were perfectly visible for me. Hosting lobbies sure comes with its perks.
>>487621654>>487632618
>>487633208Best answer.
>>487632802At one point in the past it regenerated when not taking damage for a while. In an effort to nerf it they got rid of that, so now you can be walking around on 1 shield HP. I hate it.
>>487575637you wouldn't be able to retain that name unless you were autistic
>>487632802I don't have any dislike for bubble shield users. I just personally don't like it because I don't like how to obstructs my view. It also doesn't help that I usually run autocannon on bots and recoilless rifle on bugs, and my switchup for bugs is MMG with supply back because I like being able to spam all the bullets and keep behemoths on lockdown. Having a bubble shield user in the team is fine by me. It means there's someone else on the team with slightly more than my dumbass always-wearing-light-armor self who can reinforce me or act as a mobile cover station. My biggest grip with the bubble shield isn't that people use it. It's that the shield doesn't begin recharging until it's fully depleted AND that the total damage absorption is tied to the armor that the helldiver wears. I think that is a bit silly.
>>487633367Joke's on you I didn't even notice that probably deserved snowballing.
Caring about someone else's loadout is the true mark of a shitter. Means he needs to get carried because choices not his own affect his play style

Even if you don't know how decay rates work and how to look them up, even a braindead monkey would have noticed the bar gradually getting smaller while all the other planets on the other side of the encirclement were gradually getting more liberation despite having fewer players.
If the devs wanted they could completely lock us out of the Falstaff Sector by attacking and taking Erson Sands, both Hellmire and Nivel 43 stand in the way of even reaching it and the entry planet is an acid world
>>487637650It really proved how the whole "bugsivers v. botdivers" things is stupid They're all clearly retarded
>>487634646>>487635345>>487635753No, because then I'd get stuck when an explosion causes this to happen.
>>487637650Everything the companion app has is desperately needed in-game, even the graphs
Alright this is the second time I run out of stims fighting automatons. Medical armors or supply backpack ONLY from now on.
Were the flowers and smoke boobs always able to launch you with so much force?
>>487640369Once you go supply backpack you start stimming so often it affects you when you don't have it.I run out because I use them for running faster and for topping up to 100% instead of how I uses to use then.
>>487640369You could also use the shield backpack and not require stims in the first place
>>487640491I'm definitely stimming above 50% health against automatons, but mostly because if you don't you get instakilled if you're not using heavy armor. With how much damage they can hit you for with random physics ragdoll damage, you need to stay topped up>>487640581>In the age of rocket dev and gunship rocket spam, you want to make your hitbox biggerNo thank you
>>487640381Yes.The spikey shrapnel plants were also able to one shot kill you too.>>487640581Shield backpack doesn't let me run through an entire hoard and survive. You get a bit of extra HP, a larger hitbox rockets cam knock you down using, and then nothing under that.Stims with heavy stim armor is disgustingly survivable, and having an effective infinite supply of them you can tank stuff a shield backpack could never.The only advantage shield has is avoiding that first flinch.
>>487640381Yes, I like shooting them when my team runs by them to knock them over, but every so often it flings them into a rock so hard they almost die
>>487640859I think medium armor with stims is fine, you need manueverability between cover against bots. You do get 1shot more often though, and heavy armor distinctly lets you survive some serious bullshit rocket-into-physics-dmg moments in my experience. But if you take heavy armor stim armor you don't really need the supply backpack, and vice versa. I like heavy armor + recoil reduction for the HMG with supply backpack because you can cut down every bot and save your last 2 strats for whatever you want
>>487632802bubble shield users frequently have zero situational awareness because they rely on their shield to take hits before they do, so they frequently>let trash flank them and the team>wander into lines of fire>obstruct firing lines because the shield has a wide hitbox making it harder to shoot around themthey generally also play like shit because again they bank most of their survivability on their shield bag instead of taking something that benefits the team more like a supply bag or backpack weapon
Every stratagem should come from completing a bot/illuminate MO.
>>487632802I think it's just gay contrarianism, the things is a godsemd to counteract the bugs bullshit hitboxes and pretty useful on bots if you're not using the AV
>laggy game>laggy game>laggy gameswedes shouldn't be allowed to make games.
Remember when they tried to nerf the shield backpack by making it blow up your own projectiles
>>487641170>You need maneuverabilityThe stim does that for me now kek, so no, I don't.
>>487640381>smoke boobsCoomer mods are getting too powerful

>Fenrir III locked againOh well, hopefully I'll get to play another operation on it in 4-5 weeks. Hopefully. Back to fog, fire, dust, and blizzard planets.
>>487646310Well the original intent was for all of us to deploy mines, wiat for them to become invisible, and then walk forward 4 abreast through the field and whoever came out the other side would be the chosen one. That plan immediately disintegrated when the first player to try their luck used their jump pack cheater! and when the mines decided to not become invisible.

>>487647549https://helldivers.io/Planets/merakShow all progress in the timeframe and you'll see about 3k players were active on it back in April/May. It's funny that it wasn't a popular planet given it's literally the same biome as the Creek. It turns out the Creek only earned its meme status entirely because of its stupid fucking name and tiktok hype.

>>487648863It's not our fault that they designed a game where being successful means you lost a map to play on.
>>487649176Best game design winner btw
There is no reason the liberator penetrator and concussive shouldn't have 45 round magazines as well. Penetrator has half the damage and concussive has half the ROF.
>>487649603Uh well you see special bullets don't stack well in the magazine past 30 >t. pileofshit
Do we know what Illuminate outposts are going to look like or is that something we can pass the time speculating about?
>>487648863>Can you faggots stop liberating the planets I want to play on.this is way funnier to me than it should be. im sorry for your misfortune though, even if its funny
>>487649603very few of the weapon downsides make sense relative to their upsides
I'm assuming super brood commanders spawn 3 brood commanders, and these 3 brood commanders spawning 3 warriors sounds pretty scary. Then we'll get the brood commander titan that spawns 3 super brood commanders, and so on.
>>487649603>>487650061If Lib pen got its magazine upped to 45, it'd fill the niche of being an easy to control medium pen weapon, with worse damage but better crowd control. Right now its useless compared to the adj. Dunno what to do with Lib conc other than massively increase its durable damage to make it stand out.
>>487650104like the nesting dolls of bugs except niggerer
>>487650264the conc already has the highest durable damage of the ARs, at 23 per bullet. but the tendie has 22 so the only difference on fully durable targets is the fact that the conc has more mags and lower dps. and the conc just shits on it if the target is less than 100% durable
>>487650032
>>487650507>the conc just shits on itthe tendie just shits on it*
>>487650507>>487650581Yeah, they should just up the durable damage even more so its more noticeable. I'm more interested in lib conc finding a niche over generic good buffs like more magazine, since its in such a weird and bad spot right now.
>>487650104Sounds like arc thrower is gonna be litWhen they finally nerf the incel breaker it'll be an effective buff too as chaff will be harder to deal with and more of a threat.
>>487650698considering things like the AC do full damage regardless of durability, it's a little surprising that "bullets that explode" don't do full durable damage in general. of course they fucked that up with the emancipator too, probably because it was killing chargers and BTs too efficiently for alexus's liking
>>487650849Sounds like all the bodies brood commanders spawn will block my arc thrower shots*
>>487649603I'd be fine with Lib Concussive keeping the low RoF, because it's individual rounds that inflict stagger so slower fire rate means your stagger goes farther. But it definitely needs a bigger magazine. Hell, give it the ability to knock down and ragdoll enemies despite the low damage, that would be hilarious.
>>487650698>Yeah, they should just up the durable damageThis is a poor longterm approach. Tghey just need to be reasonable over what is and is not durable and by how much. Gunship engines is the classic example of this being out of whack.
>>487650930Thank you for reciting memes and demonstrating your lack of any actual experience.
>>487651039Um ackshually it's cause they're armored!
LibPen should be given buffs to compare it to the marksman rifles and then moved to that category. LibCarb should be given buffs to compare it to the smgs and then moved to that category.
>>487651219I just dislike the gun. It feels bad, and is clunky to use. I do notice enemy corpses eat half my shots.
this was posted last thread, where did the image come from
>>487651517Honestly it'd be super cool if these flew and could leap large distances with their wings, and didn't spawn from the ground but patrol'd the air and swooped down and landed on you and teammates when it spotted you.

>>487651792Whoa chill out there satan.
>>487651793/hdg/ lobby where everyone takes shield and HMG turret when
>>487651846The game is at its best when the enemies are so overwhelmingly strong that survival is hopeless and the only solution is to throw soliders into the meatgrinders that is the bug and bot fronts.
>>487651515>I do notice enemy corpses eat half my shots.You are exagerating or you need to get good.
>>487652298double shield, HMG turret, laser cannons and AP mines
>>487652350I am probably exaggerating, but it ate enough to where it was getting annoying. Even if it wasn't an issue, or I got good, I still wouldn't like the gun because I just think it feels bad.
This is the man responsible for the "story".
>>487651793bot front kino...
>>487652517That probably just means major roadmap events like the black hole, and not filler like what Joel does.
>>487652350>>487652443We need an arc thrower/blitzer cope gif.
>>487652669Its funny, I barely notice it with the blitzer, even though it probably happens as much. Maybe because I expect more out of a support weapon then a primary.
>>487652784The blitzer is pretty decent after the fire rate buff... if corpses don't eat the shot.
>>487651396Lib Pen needs a buff to mag size and damage to make it not worse than Adjudicator overall, while Adjudicator needs its mag size and ROF reduced and damage increased to make it closer to a battle rifle.>Lip PenMag size 30 -> 36Damage per bullet 45/15 -> 52/16Spare mags 10 -> 8>AdjudicatorMag size 30 -> 24Damage per bullet 80/16 -> 100/18ROF 550 -> 440 to 380Now Lib Pen will actually feel like a meaningful sidegrade to stock Lib, and Adjudicator is a "make each bullet count" armor piercer that's distinct from Diligence Counter-Sniper. Maybe more touch-up buffs for both stock Lib and Lib Pen (and obviously Lib Concussive and Lib Carbine) to make them not feel like shit.
>>487652887Its probably the firerate that helps it feel better. Arc thrower is just so slow. I want them to reduce the charge time so it fires faster.
>>487652517>skinnyfat white boiHe's just like me fr fr
>>487652959Honestly I hate any weapon that has to charge at all. Just make it work like the blitzer where it's a cooldown rather than a charge up. I don't care of it makes it more similar, it's gimmick is the range not the charge.
>>487605193>he found a seed with 100sc and a 10sc drop in one crate and just abused a disconnect bug to keep abusing the same seed by dropping down onto the 110sc and disconnecting over and over.the 100 super credit drop is actually random and not seed dependent, determiend on the moment of pick-up, not map creation.
>>487652635He's likely the one managing joel.
>>487652298>>487652570Pilestedt I know you aren't reading anything here but if you are I've been playing Arrowhead games since Magicka and I'll bitch and moan about shit sometimes a lot of times actually but I'm glad for the Magicka Vietnam DLC that I'm guessing inspired Helldivers to begin with and props to you for being so excited despite all the bullshit in the Escalation of Freedom announcement trailer.
>>487654262>Magicka Vietnam DLCI never played magicka but I went to watch the trailer and my autism must be unleashed.>at the end of the trailer a clearly F4 shadow flies over to drop the napalm>then two fucking F22s fly over at the very endAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEE
>>487654262We need a new magicka game in the same style as Helldivers 2
>>487651793Double feature tonight lads.https://files.catbox.moe/56x3x3.mp4
>>487652902Increasing its damage or magazine size too much runs the risk of making the stock liberator completely irrelevant. Honestly, I'd keep the lib pen exactly as it is now with the sole exception of giving it AP4. It would solidify its niche and it's effectively a 50% damage buff against armour 3 targets, along with giving it a neat trick of being able to kill hulks from the front (while not being too powerful in that regard).
>desert planet>puddles and lakes that slow you down to a crawl everywhere
>>487654823>>487654873If enough people want to, we can try a Magicka Vietnam playthough. I would totally host that shit. Though it might be better to organize that in /coopg/
Any news on when that 3rd enemy faction is being released?
>>487631665It's better to be more offensive than defensive on diff 9. I'd rather have another strike to kill the baddies than to let them pound my pooper a little more with shield and rovers are just trash now.
>>487656215next year, 1 year anniversary, seeing as the 6 month patch in august is more expansion to existing factions and shit.

>>487632802When the game was still new there was a period where almost everyone ran quasar/shieldpack. Some people never learned how to not take damage and couldn't function without it, giving shield users a reputation.
sweden deserves to be be completely saturated with salted neutron bombstheir fucking retarded coding results in their fucking retarded mines being completely invisible when their fucking retarded game shits itself like the fucking retard it issweden delenda estsuffer no swede to livekill swedes, behead swedes, roundhouse kick a swede into the concrete, slam dunk a swede baby into the trash can, crucify filthy swedes, defecate into swedes food, launch swedes into the sun, stir fry swedes in a wok, toss swedes into active volcanoes, urinate into swede’s gas tank, Judo throw swedes into a wood chipper, twist swedes heads off, report swedes to the IRS, karate chop swedes in half, curb stomp pregnant swedes, trap swedes in quicksand, Crush swedes in the trash compactor, liquify swedes in a vat of acid, eat swedes, dissect swedes, exterminate swedes in the gas chamber, stomp swede skulls with steel-toed boots, cremate swedes in the oven, lobotomized swedes, mandatory abortions for swedes, grind swedish fetuses in the garbage disposal, drown swedes in fried meatball grease, vaporize swedes with a raygun, kick old swedes down the stairs, feed swedes to alligators, slice swedes with a katana
>>487652517>swedish moby is to blame Makes sense
Seeing your diver suddenly keeled over because of an invisible mine thrown by a level 13 cadet right on top of the extraction point will never make me not laugh.>I'm sorry, I can't make it to extract. I'm afraid I have.... the coof.>coofs>dies>drops samples that of course none of the cadets picked upAh well. I spend half my time intentionally diving in to teach new cadets how to play the game so I'm used to all kinds of shenanigans happening by this point.
>Log in.>See that it's free mines today when they're fucking bugged.>Log off.Nope.
>>487661281Have they even acknowledged that bug yet?
>>487645917>>487646024No need to report me to the fun police since I doubt any devs read this thread anyways, so it doesn't even have a chance of making it to the game. Especially since Swiggers couldn't come up with this on their own.
They mentioned big rewards for d10? Will there be some new unlocks that use samples or req points? I already have almost everything in the game unlocked. Im just asking becuase i don't want those huge d10 rewards to go to waste since i have nothing left to unlock. I'm probably the only person who worries about dumb shit like this.
>>487664925*Big rewards (+2 super samples)
>>487661475Wouldn't matter if they did. The known issues list may as well be the fuck it list they bruff off til the next game
>>487664624>that frustrated mouse shakesheer kino
>>487665040maybe im crazy but didnt one of the articles regarding the update say the reward was in fact samples?
>>487664925Honestly I was thinking about it too.Apart from the standard>+4 rares>+4 commons>+1-2 supers>+10 total merits for operation>+requisition/XP boostI really doubt there's going to be anything. The devs still think the majority of their playerbase is level 30-60 because that's when most of the playerbase quit (and will return only to level up 4-5 times). The metrics they're working with aren't the metrics that represent the current active playerbase.
Light penetrating primaries aren't viable on bugs for the number of brood commanders, hive guards, and bile spewers you encounter on D9. I realized I only ever enjoy myself and feel like I can handle more than a few mobs at once without relying on a red strategem when I'm using the Eruptor, Incendiary Breaker, Adjudicator, Dominator, or Scorcher. Adjudicator and Scorcher need a supply pack though, and Eruptor or Dominator greatly benefit from the laser rover. What can be done to make light penetrating weapons more viable? I just believe they need to have a lot more spare ammo. It takes almost a whole 45 round liberator magazine to kill a brood commander, and when there's 3-5 in any group at any given time, plus hive guards and possibly spewers, you will likely run out of ammo completely on objectives or between POIs.
>>487664925They mentioned BIG REWARDS for clearing the new super fortresses not for D10 on itself
>>487664624hey that's my webmhonestly just a skill issue, behold
>>487665669the rewards for clearing the mega bases is more supers I think that article said
>>487665975>Brood CommandersHave 2 armor on their head, you can still kill them fine with AP2 weapons.>Hive GuardsStrafe to the side or shoot at their exposed belly bits.>Bile SpewersExplosives.
>>487666428The alpha commanders will probably summon stalkers, chargers, titans, trannies, butch lesbians, etc.
>>487666631Alpha Commanders will fall to my autocannon all the same.
>>487665975>What can be done to make light penetrating weapons more viable?On bots? Nothing short of hyper accuracy snipers, since you need to pop dev heads. Already hard enough to deal with walker spam.On bugs? Give them DoT, explosive values, or higher hipfire accuracy.The issue you're seeing is that most primaries aren't designed with D9 gameplay in mind. They're designed because the devs want a "fun"/thematic weapon for page X of their warbond. Good players aren't expected to be fighting their hearts out with the 10,000 liberator sidegrades/direct downgrades.
>>487666428>Have 2 armor on their head, you can still kill them fine with AP2 weapons.It is not effecient when you have 7 spare magazines with the liberator and it will take 2.5 or more of them for the 3 broods with every patrol.
>>487664925maybe we get something good for those trophy type packages like the nugget automaton body
>>487665975>>487666428>>Hive Guards>Strafe to the side or shoot at their exposed belly bits.they also die if you kill both of their claws
>>487665975if sweden wants to be realistic about it lighter weapons should have more overall magazines or there should be more ways to de-fang an enemy other than killing it. if I shoot legs off a brood commander it shouldn't get faster, for example.this is way outside the scope of the game and what sweden is capable of not fucking up but a more proper loadout and equipment system would be really nice, instead of the ammo being tied directly to the instance of the gun. Picking up a gun off the ground swapping all of your carried ammo for what's on the ground is dumb as well as not being able to scavenge ammo off the ground, though I suppose that's not really a design goal when supplies can be called in for free willy-nilly.
>>487665975>It takes almost a whole 45 round liberator magazine to kill a brood commander,a third of a magazine to their head, actually. In practice maybe just under half a mag?
>>487667573I simply don't believe this functions in actual gameplay, such as the BT head not registering hits right. I bet a lot of shots get registered to the body or limbs even if it hits the head because they always take most of a magazine even if you're ADSing down at them.
>>487667573>half a mag to pop the head (not kill)>other half to provide requisite stopping power to finish off the perfect tracking, higher damage, higher firerate, faster bug
>>487667573>5 adjudicator shots to kill a brood commanderIs this a joke? Never works that way for me.
>>487667790just punch it when it goes berserk
>>487665975I unironically only use AC most missions so "medium" units are fine to mebut I do wish they'd buff ARs with just more ammo or small boxes filling to cap, since nothing but the infinite Sickle can match body counts in higher diffs
>>487668048No but enemies have retarded parts in their armor that are randomly higher armored to fuck your weapons up. The scout strider crotch randomly has 2 small pieces of metal that is fucking ap 5 which fucks up the dominator or any non explosive weapon due to accuracy.
My doctor recommends 25 stims a day
i'm a returning player. should i get the polar patriots or viper commandos? I have the other warbonds maxed out. Also, is the autocannon still the only gun that can effectively and efficiently take out gunships?
>>487668487It's also pretty evident enemies just ignore damage sometimes
>>487669186Laser cannon, amr, spear are good for gunships too and rr if you can aim. If i were you i would get viper commandos but personally i like polar patriots more. The bushwhacker is a lot of fun though.
>>487669439thanks. is spear still broken or did they fix it?
>>487669525Spear is fixed, you can go full Ramirez pick up that Javelin and take out those hinds
Sneeddiver status?
>>487669731Feeded and sneeded.
>>487669767For Super Earth I presume?
>>487669525Spear is fixed but if you play bugs titans are not, so you can hit it square in the head and it will just shrug it off occasionally. Known bug teehee :^)
>>487669913had a titan eat 3 shots to the front today from a spear, it went down to a couple incel shotgun hits so it was close but that should never be a thing unless you are hitting legs
>>487669186>>487669525Polar Patriots and Viper Commandos are both not very good, but Polar Patriots has some pretty neat toys. Everyone will tell you to get Viper Commandos for the booster, but frankly it's not all that it's cracked up to be and someone else on your team can easily pick it in a mission.Autocannon is the best, but any anti-tank weapon will do them in nicely. Laser Cannon and HMG are also pretty decent while also being more than viable against other enemy types.Spear is top-tier now, it can consistently lock on to targets and also blow up spawners. It's the most pain-free way to kill Gunships (though obviously not the most efficient), and it can one-shot Bile Titans and Charger Behemoths with headshots.
>>487670062It happens with such frequency that it's really fucking irritating.
GIVE ME THE MOBILE MORTAR ALREADY SWIGGERS!
Fucking crazy how people stopped bringing 500kg and OPS altogether
>>487670543I see 3-4 OPS in any hdg lobby
Even with all the known issues, shitty primaries, garbage strats, crashes.... the worst part about this game is the retarded people who join your team
>>487670543Why not? I still get mega usage from both of those. I think most people aren't good enough when it comes to landing 500kg hits. And ops is so nice when you need a charger dead right away or finish off a bt or nearly kill it from the get go.
>>487670639500kg was more used than the IB before, now it comes behind napalm, gas, gatling...

>>487670543500kg yea, OPS I usually see at least one more often two per lobby unless it's scatter.
>>487670543OPS is in just about every lobby I see, including my own loadout. I'll substitute 500s for it if the scatter effect is on the mission. There's no better strike option for chargers or most ground bot/structures. Eliminates the need to hellbomb jammers or saurons too

Bug niggers are menace. I have never been tk'd by friendly fire so many times in one game. One fucker was throwing eagle clusters with no regard for anyone and another fucker was a master at tossing inviso-mines in the least intuitive places.

>>487671349>airstrike is way better for that dudeAirstrike won't always reliably kill hulks chargers. It also won't touch cannon towers, jammers, or sauron I don't think. I bring airstrike on bots but it's still worth it to have OPS

The armour 4 main body hitbox or maybe even the gun barrel hitbox will sometimes just overlap the hip hitbox and cockblock your shots.

>>487674539Oh no that's so terrible! How ever you will manage to complete the mission? You poor thing. On a more serious note, retards like you want the enemies to be absolutely impotent and a non threat. Why even play this game if you want zero pushback from the enemies?
>>487674934calm down and go eat your surstromming, I'm sure you'll sort out those brood commander bugs given enough time>n-no, an enemy should be allowed to roar without a head, it's i-intentional!>the concussion effect playing when he misses you is...uh...AIR PRESSURE!

>>487674539oh my god I got a vignette on my screen for a half a second while my enemy bled to death
>>487675262what ps2 tier graphic settings have you got active? genuinely asking because I'd like not to get my entire screen obscured, followed by double vision, all audio ducking, and ear rape ringing every time a brood commander walks to the side of me
>>487675163A head isn't needed to release pheromones. But you ignored initial point. You want the enemies to die as soon as you look at them. You don't like it when the enemies fight back. This game is easy enough yet redditors like you keep bitching endlessly. I really, really hope Ah doesn't cave in to people like you.
>>487675395I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, I assumed it was just the dark "near miss" vignette that's a near constant on bot fronts but you seem to be talking about something elseif you're really having that much trouble with brood commanders then just switch to a hipfire weapon and learn to slide instead of dive
>>487675591Yes, yes, and heavy devestators should be allowed to fire at 45 degree angles through rocks, and charger skating definitely isn't still an issue, and a bile titan should be allowed you instantly kill you with invisible vomit even after being staggered because of dogshit netcode. These are all just part of the """difficulty""" and clearly people just need to stop complaining.
>>487675834and that makes brood commanders an issue how?
any opinion on the machine gun in lvl 9 for bots? it shreds with fortified, cept the flinching makes it underwhelming
>>487675834Everything you listed is clearly unintentional and not what I'm referring to. The brood commander going berserk or using pheromones after losing its head isn't crazy or beyond impossible for any reason. >still crying about devastators 6 months after release.Dear god, please just go back.
>>487675981The game queuing up the concussive effect on you when a brood commander briskly walks past you without contacting you is a netcode issue. The server thinks you got hit, even though you didn't. Same reason the bile titan still gets off his spit even thought you can clearly see him stop spitting.The reason this doesn't annoy you is because you don't play the game at a high enough level to have it happen to you multiple times in a single match, and because you never take risky face shots at titans to stop them spewing directly on you.
>>487676057HMG does its job better
>>487676170Please graduate from diff 6 before sharing your opinion, thanks.
>>487676170>crying about him crying
>>487676057Run HMG emplacement + some other support weapon instead and you'll be far more effective while still getting a chance to dump a bunch of lead down sights at targets. With the perk that the emplacement is the most powerful MG in the game and is tanky against bots to boot.
>>487676179>The reason this doesn't annoy you is because you don't play the game at a high enough level to have it happen to you multiple times in a single match, and because you never take risky face shots at titans to stop them spewing directly on you.That's fucking hilarious because in my experience the only people who get butthurt about stuff such as headless brood commanders are absolute shitters who struggle on diff 7 bugs. You're probably a playstation player.
i dunno manif i want something to stop moving i either throw a nuke at it or shot its legs
>>487676057HMG is betterYou can't have fun in D9 bots, you need to le aim for le weak spots (actually just vulnerable spots, rest you can't even damage lol)
>>487676312You first, bud. Or maybe you should practice the basics on d1 first.
I dont notice a difference between D7 and D8. Is that intentional?
>>487676758Yes. Devs outright said in the new content trailer that D10 is *supposed* to feel different from D9, so one would assume they really didn't try to make the difficulties from 7 to 9 feel that drastically different.
>>487676179you probably just got clipped by the hitboxnext time that happens you should take a video of it so you have proof of it happeningand with bile titans that's just swedish animation fuckery
>>487676871D10 will be what D9 was at release and everyone who bitched that D9 had too many big enemies are going to bitch D10 has too many big enemies, while being completely fucking oblivious to the fact that if you want fewer big enemies you can just play on a lower fucking difficulty
>>487677041Those people won't have an option to play D9 and have a fun game because all the good players that carried their asses will have moved up to D10. The real benefit of the new difficulty is how it'll filter even more heavy retards on my teams.
>>487677179Yes but if reddiotors complain enough they might nerf d10. I live in constant fear of this scenario.
You don't need to sign your posts with that newline, we know it's you from your retarded opinions.
>No bro, having enemies work in unexpected ways is actually part of the difficulty, you just need to get goodI see Arrowhead devs are making use of their vacation time to try and gaslight people
>>487676057A Berserker and Devastator clearer, but not something you want against bots. You need something that's good at killing Devastators, can brush away Scout Striders, and can also stand up against Hulks and optionally Gunships. Since the stock MG can't fight Scout Striders or Hulks, it's a liability.
>>487677632The discussion was only about headless brood commanders and nothing more. Quit being a disingenuous faggot.
>thinking amount of heavies depends on difficulty
>>487676871So I can just.play D9 and it would be about the same as D7?
>D9 bots: Fun>D9 bugs: Gaythat is all
>>487678318You'll either get clusterfuck seed or boring seed
>mines are invisibleand people wonder why nobody takes that shit
>>487678451Cool
you guys arent complaining about brood commanders are you? an enemy thats a joke by medium standards when heavy devastators exist and spawn in squads of 4-6 and keep you from stimming at range and can randomly decide to gib you with headshots because headshots need to exist against players in a coop horde shooter
>>487678318It's essentially D7/D8, just with lower cooldown on enemy patrol spawns and bug breach/bot drops.
Ahem. Stand by for fun.>Commando>EAT>Gas>Jump packTake whatever grenades you desire along with primary and secondary. This stratagem build absolutely fucks on helldive and lets you deal with the endless onslaught of titans and chargers. Gas let's you shit on super cracks and net 30+ kills each time you throw it. Jump pack makes you practically immortal since the nothing can really pin you down and you have long range AT threat eliminate on low ass CD you can spam everywhere.
>>487678318for bots the major difference is bot drops almost always come with 1 or 2 tanks, or 1 tank and a factory strider. and the enemies at POIs are usually heavier with devastator variants and many small POIs have Annihilator tanks. Plus the usual more secondary objectives so more chances of Saurons, Jammers, or Gunship Fabs.
>>487678912Replace EAT with AC or flamer and thats my loadouts
>no laser machine gun announced >no plasma shotgun announced>no vehicles of any kind announced>no fortifications announced>no actually new enemy locations>not even bug fixesWhy are they shilling what will become the buggiest ever content release as a major update
>>487571179Any good youtubers, that are not this annoying asshole, to watch for Helldivers tips and comparisons? I have a job and don't have all day to play test guns and loadouts.
>>487679138you mean laser shotgun, right?
I can't go back to weapons other than the pummeler on bugs now. I'm too used to the sheer mobility of being able to fire from all directions without turning while also moving around. ADS is the single worst mechanic ever added to shooters.
>>487679123eh they are very solid AT threat and all around dead killy but I dislike having an actual support weapon and have to drop it to utilize a disposable. Also no jump jet hijinks with AC. I thought having the commando and EAT would be impractical as they would overlap but due to the longer calldown nature of the commando it chugs along like clock work. You can typically having them on a very regular cycle that keeps up with the random armored threat spawns. While still being low enough CD to seed an important long term holding pattern at an objective you're going to be at for a bit.
>>487679301My boy, the Sickle isn't even an actual laser weapon. Laser shotgun wouldn't make any sense
>>487679374And let's be honest. What would be the difference between a laser shotgun and the blitzer right now?
>>487679451the blitzer autotargets and can't overheat and gets blocked by particle effects in the air for some reason and has trouble headshotting non-bug enemies because of the autoaim
>>48767913895% of modern games dont come out in a state you'd feel is complete until their first year is usually up, idk why you'd expect different here, especially since its sold as a games as a service model
I really wish that unsafe mode was a standard feature of energy weapons, it makes no sense why it wouldn't be since unsafe modes already exist both in-game and real life
>>487679764Bullet weapons should have it as well. Gas systems can be tuned up but in some cases cause the gun to explode.
>>487679764>unsafe quasar with a 5-6 second charge>explodes like a fucking airstrike bomblet if you fuck up
>>487679764how would you add an unsafe mode that doesn't invalidate safe mode?
>>487679764lack of safety is what helldivers 2 is designed around, why not apply that to the weapons as well
>>487679696It's just a shame that the gameplay has become bland before they bring it out of early access.
>>487679696They're doing this big trailer to get back all those players back as if they'd cared enough about a new difficulty they won't ever play to actually reinstall the game
>>487679236https://www.youtube.com/@EravinVTThis guy focuses more on stealth shit which isn't how I like to play, but he does decent weapon breakdowns and offers mechanics-based tips.
>>487680040I dont care about more players. D10 will be fun, im just hoping theyll do some more teasing over the next 2 weeks of shit that isnt in the trailer but will still play anyways.
>>487679993it fucking overheats and explodes if you're too liberal with it (and adds the heat mechanic to plasma/arc weapons when on unsafe)and for beams it's easier to waste heat like the higher RPMs on the machine guns
>>487680057sounds more of a faggot than the other guy plus anime
1000rpm laser machine gunOverheats in 2 seconds, cooldowns rapidly Is all I ask forAlso 1500-2000rpm overheat mode for Stalwart
>>487680734so basically a suped up version of the original HD1 sickle
>>487680057I'll check him out later, thanks
>>487679993I'd just make them explode if you overheat the cell instead of having to be reloaded, while also giving a damage boost. Not sure what I'd do about the blitzer though, considering it doesn't even need to reload. Maybe turning it to unsafe mode reduces the number of 'bolts' while upping the damage to the ones you have left
>>487680931No, the Sickle should go back to being the SickleI'm thinking something like a yellow Fallout laser minigun
Imagine a semi auto laser sniper rifle support weapon that overheats if you fire it too much like the halo beam rifle.
>>487680734That'd be cool as hell if you let the gun overheat and had to switch the barrel like a real machine gun. But I don't know if adding a second supply count, like spare barrel count, for a gun would introduce a million bugs (probably).
>>487681202>if you fire it too muchTired of full auto "sniper" riflesMake it blast the little brother of the orbital laser and overheat immediately and I'm in
>>487681089>overuse blitzer on unsafe>it backfires
where's my laser SMG, where's my laser shotgun. Where's my laser 'grenade' that's just a single shot disposable hand cannon with insane enemy penetration. They made a throwing knife, surely they can make a fancy roman candle or something.
>Viper Commando>Throwing knives>Also Commando>Still (NEVER EVER) explosive bow
>>487680390>>487681089To make safemode worth the risk of blowing up it will need somethign that makes it better than safe mode. The two obvious picks are more damage, more pen, or both. However, that runs into the same problem that the railgun has. Why ever use safe mode? If unsafe mode provides much better TTK or utility you'd be a fool to not use it. The only argument in favour of safe mode on the railgun is there are some enemies where you don't need the extra damage or penetration to reach the best breakpoints against so you don't need to risk blowing up or wasting a shot. But with a continuous beam weapon that applies its damage as direct DPS and not in chunks it would always be faster and better to use unsafe mode. So I ask again, how would you add an unsafe mode to beam weapons without invalidating safe mode? Simply risking an explosion isn't enough of a downside considering the penalties for stopping a shot mid 'charge' on a laser weapon is completely non-existent compared to a railgun where you have to waste a shot and go through a reload cycle.
>>487681661fuck me,>to make unsafe mode worth the risk
maybe they should give the existing energy weapons a purpose instead of introducing even more pissbeam guns that won't bring an advantage to the table
>>487681628You have the explosive crossbow already which is cooler. An actual bow would be stupid.
>>487681661I don't think it needs as heavy of a damage buff as you think. I can usually go an entire dive without burning through one battery, but if I get distracted I'll have to reload. Getting a minor damage buff and maybe fire rate(damage tick rate for beams) is worth having to force myself to pay attention to a tiny red bar.
>>487679993The battery turns red when it's about to overheat. Keep safe mode the same, but unsafe mode do more damage if you 'edge' the meter, if you try to keep firing and tap firing while it's in the red. If you go too far too fast you explode
>>487681789LC and Sickle are good enoughScythe just needs no recoil and significantly reduced sway along with more heat capacityAll of them are already themselves, we're talking about new, different guns>>487681839It's shit, also with explosive bow I meant movie-explosive bow, not the weak fart cope "explosion" that the crossbow has
>>487682250Scythe is good enough as it is. It just need a better scope with zoom.
>>487682250>Scythe just needs no recoil and significantly reduced sway along with more heat capacityit needs a better optic
Daggerbros they forgot about us again
Maybe beam / eneegy weapon should become a softening weapon like slag in BL2 where they would have lower impact damage but makes normal projectile weapon do more damage since the heat melts the exterior. Would make players vary their loadout just a bit more.The only problem would be the hit registration, since it would be too easy if the whole enemy receive increased damage. Ideally it would mark certain part to be vulnerable but knowing they haven’t fixed the bile titan hitbox I doubt they could pull it off
>>487681661>it would always be faster and better to use unsafe modebut not more efficient, depending on the fire rate boost (and increased heat gen) you might have to rely more on cycling cooldowns if you want to use unsafe consistently, especially against chaffyour shortened ttk ends up getting offloaded onto the cooldown from the excess heat generated by unsafe mode
>>487682449I love my mine sweeper pistol
Ok real talk. WHAT do they need to add or fix that should already exist to make the ballistic shield a worthwhile stratagem?
>>487682892It was decent before they fixed it to kill you
>>487682892deflected shots can hurt the enemy that fired them
>>487682892can't be ragdolled by any projectile impacting the front, cannon and rocket impacts caused maybe a stagger, but no ragdolladd good one handed primariesadd a one handed support weapon
>>487682519See, now we're talking. A big benefit of beam weapons is their uptime. If you're just clearing POIs or random patrols you know are between reinforcement timings then unsafe would be the way to go, but if you're in a prolonged firefight at an objective, at extract, and a big breach/bot drop then you'll want to be more efficient to ensure you have the sustained firepower you need.
I genuinely despise the swedish race. Helldivers 2 was entirely a fluke. I pray every night that pilestedt's parents get cancer. Arrowhead is incompetent and deserves none of the success they have obtained. They have repeatedly failed their players and are a bad steward of their community.
Does cheat engine still work on this game?

>>487682892obviously actually fucking fix what's wrong with it like impact damage and pushing your around with its collision mesh. To make it better beyond just fixing the broken stuff, you need to not necessarily make the shield itself better, but the things you can do with it. A really solid one handed primary or secondary, hell, even a one-handed support weapon would go miles in making the shield a more viable pick. Making it so it just doesn't break would also be nice.
>>487676179>>487676976nta, but the amount of times ive gotten those concussive visual effects while taking zero damage is easily 10+ times each 40 minute mission. i dont know what the fuck causes it but my god is it annoying

>>487683641i have yet o hear of the 5k method. Care to share it? will suck dick
>>487680014The gameplay is the only reason I play it, anon. It must be decent else I'd swap to something else.
>>487685043Rail cannon wouldn't make an explosion like that. You're looking for nuclear shaped charges or antimatter weaponry which are WAY cooler than rail guns
>>487685043>Railcannon mechJust put a big fuck off railgun on a mech, with unsafe mode ofc.
>>487685538The explosion isn't caused by the railgun, but the target of the railgun.I just want a super powerful weapon that can turn a Bile Titan or two into fine green mist in a single instant shot.It would also be great to have against Hive Lords.
>>487685904It'd just make a hole the size of the bullet or a cave-in at the point of impact if the armor was rigid enough, not an outwards explosionI just want a Hellbore
>>487686234But bugs are literal living fuel and BTs have sacks filled with explosive acid... I mean who cares desu, even just a small hole that leaves them completely dead would be fine and elegant.I just want more weapons doing different things and currently there isn't a weapon that feels like "I can use this to instantly kill everything I want".Which is crazy.
>>487686849E-710 isn't flammable. It's an FTL fuel, not literal oil.
>>487687117And yet spewers and ravagers blow up...I think it wouldn't be that hard to code in either.You can blow up a lot of bugs with the regular railgun.A big railgun should blow up a Bile Titan.
The squids are Iraq for being invaded by assumed WMDs, the bugs are ISIS for being manufactured enemies to keep control of the fuel, but who are the bots supposed to be? Afghanistan?

I love joining a mission and seeing a person whose name has chinese characters. Means we're going to find every single sample possible on the map.
>>487666353if they were serious about big rewards it'd be like 50 fucking rares, those things are the real ass cancer of the later modules
>>487685371That's your preference. There are other people in the world with different preferences. I am one of those other people.
>>487691621Samples, credit and medals are realy dissapointing rewards when you are already capped. At this point i rather find support weapons at pois. But i can imagine its nice for new players. if only there was some endgame stuff to spend it on, i would even accept the ability to reroll missions/moddifiers over just sitting at the cap all the time.
>>487692409i mean i'm capped too, i'm more just saying, supers cap out before you're even partway through the rare grind, they are not the carrot on a stick that AH seems to think they are.
>>487691573Based, same
>>487692496Yeah, right now the ratios of how many samples you need vs can find are kinda wack between the types. Making super samples the easiest to get and cap out. You need 10x more rares then supers but can find up to 5x more, and finding 6 supers is easy compared to getting 30 rares.
>11 more days
>>487693387Predict the number of players coming back that day. The update trailer reached 1,8mil views after just 2 days
>>487694509Hard to say.Everyone that liked the video is likely to come back, so the current 28-30k + the playstation players that we can't track minus the 93k that liked the video are most likely guaranteed.Beyond that it's all random guessing.Also for some reason I feel like most people will come back, just to end up disappointed again, so we'll likely lose half of the players that came back in the following 3 days from the update.
>>487694509Are you ready Anon? Are you ready for the shitter wave? Are you ready for the D10 queso + shield shitters? What about being blown to smithereens by cluster bombs? Or perhaps someone who aggroes and tries to kill gunships with a stalwart?I know I cannot wait.
>>487695035>post lobby in /hdg/-/coopg/>kick tourists and only accept regularsThat easy.
>>487685043If four people brought it and took half of a Hive Lord's health, would it be worthless or OP?
>>487695035But none of those things happen when you host and or join a lobby here in the thread. Only someone who uses quickplay would be worried about such issues...
>>487694509I doubt we're getting more than 40kfew people care about d10 and getting a small handful of new enemies is also not attractive
>>48769450920k at most.The normie twitter mob herders already implanted the idea that helldivers is dead so the herd normies parrot that shit on the regular, on top of that add all those ADHD zoomers who demand the illuminate and PVP to be added just so they could be interested in the game for another week before burning off.
>>487695197It would unironically be balanced and also cool.4 divers with 4 SPEARS are unironically going to kill it in like 30 seconds at this rate.They are likely going to release "ultimate" boss fights in a joke state.
>>487695197>>487696327>ultimate bossfight>basically oneshotted by cheesing ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHtb7oCf8CUIt's going to be exactly the same in HD2, we all know it.Same for bots and illuminates.

Incredible projection frognigger.Keep up the good fights.
ok pajeet
Its kinda nice when the MO is a bug MO. Means the people who are with me in a bot lobby are usually somewhat competent.
>>487694509>game is adding more poorly designed enemiesYa it'll bump for a few days then people realize all the new enemies are dogshit to play against and quit again.
>>487697840Not as cancerous as soil sample shit which have a 60% chance of being bugged too by the way.
>>487698503I like the soil sample missions. I've only had it bug out once, but that was when I joined mid mission. I've also had the collect data mission bug out too, when the HDD was unable to be picked up.

>>487706940Just let me aim at a Bile Titans legs and kneecap it to death instead of always having to aim for the head and remember all the rules (Not THAT part of the head! Aim lower at the OTHER head part of the head! And also not while its vomiting!).

>>487711191Part of the lore of keeping x45 initially was that Super Earth scientists found plans for a battle station. People think this is the upcoming "platoon" update (aka clans).
>>487708225Either it's part of the secret stuff coming with Escalation of Freedom (unlikely) or it will come with the next major update somewhere in fall

>>487715198No?It was captured nearly a week ago and has been degrading ever since.
>>487714386not putting the mission first is treason.normally youd face the wall. but i bet his commitment to capitalism and attempting to spread SOME freedom with side objectives might make this one worth salvaging. idk about car batteries though. ive heard they do enforced psychoactive cognizance reconfiguration therapy to burn out any dissidence. a happy helldiver is alot more effective than an insubordinate one.

never change china
>>487718285Why did you not break down the troopers into their variants?
>>487718285Mortars can't technically call a drop but since they magically guess your location from any distance within their reach, some other unit will definitely call it
>>487718539I'm surprised there isn't a way to already scan and ping for these on the map, it kind of sucks having to memorize every outpost/poi layout and their difficulty to check for samples.

I no longer put the 60s in the "tentatively give some slight trust" tier. That new number is 70s. Everything 60s and below is now "just finished the training level 30 seconds ago" tier.
>>487718539wtf I love china now
>>487718539This was leaked to be a mechanic they wanted to implement on different helms, but that couldn't do in time.Unironically based chinks.
>>487718539
>>487718285>the bots that can't call a bot drop are:>Dropships...
>>487718707I posted about this a month or two ago. That that "minimum bar" goes up by 10 or so levels every month. My bar is going to 80 in a few days at the end of the month.I'm open to being surprised by someone's ability/knowledge, but I don't assume they know basic shit below that anymore.
>>487718696>>487718791they could turn it into a side objective like the radar but instead it marks samples specifically
>>487718804Gee Bimmy, your democracy officer let you dive into a rave?
>>487718986He's technically right
>>487719104Then its also technically right to list bug holes, stalker holes, spore towers, and shrieker towers as being unable to call in bug breeches.
>>487719394If you want to list them.But then we'd have to add bot fabricators, jamming towers, etc.Dropships are actual enemy units that can move and attack you.
>>487719031I will put bugdivers at a higher level requirement than botdivers. Bugdivers are now assumed by me to be idiots at anything below 70 for now, whereas botdivers I assume to be idiots at anything below 60. I really do blame those fucking bug eradication missions. I wish they were eliminated altogether. Nothing but a magnet for every single shitter under the sun to get their levels artificially high super fast (while playing absolutely no other mission type) and then they sit around and jerk off about "muh number is high hurr" without any of the objective-based gameplay experience that would normally come with more organic leveling. That level 60 that kept dying would get reinforced near us at our corner of the map, and then immediately make a beeline to jesus christ knows fucking where just to die, and then get revived and do it all over again. All that moving he did in his slow-ass heavy armor just to die almost immediately.
>don't play d9 almost ever>wanna get ready for d10I guess I'll start joining lobbies sometime, shame I can't take the usual meme d7 loadout
>>487719542dropships cant attack you. No, them being shot down and crashing on top of you is not an attack
>>487719738If you get intercepted by a moving dropship, it can cut you in half and instantly oneshot you.
If you regularly run anything but the gun dog, jump pack, ballistic shield, airburst, recoiless, or no backpack at all then I don't want to hear a peep out of you about anyone's backpack choice.
>>487719895>If you regularly run anything but the gun dog, jump pack, ballistic shield, airburst, recoiless, or no backpack at allThis anon is talking about me in particular.Everyone shut up and listen.
>>487719803Eagle-1 confirmed as enemy
>>487720058Just tired of people talking shit about the bubble backpack and then you find out they run nothing but supplybackpack, hog every supply drop, and mainline stims the entire time. Or the dipshits that say rover is easy mode and spend half the match standing on a random rock spamming the incel in every direction.
