Previous thread: >>495402583>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC and PS5 where players fight against hordes of alien insects and robots to Spread Democracy. Players wage war on a number of contested planets, each with a different environment, completing as many objectives as possible within a procedurally generated area while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful operations a planet can be completely liberated, and the player base must cooperate to try to liberate the entire galaxy by focusing and combining their efforts as much as possible.https://store.steampowered.com/app/553850/HELLDIVERS_2/https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers-2/>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is the origin of the setting and basic gameplay formula of HELLDIVERS 2. The major difference is that HELLDIVERS is a top-down shooter, its mechanics being based primarily on Arrowhead's previous game Magicka.https://store.steampowered.com/app/394510/HELLDIVERS_Dive_Harder_Edition/https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers/>INFORMATION RESOURCEShttps://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Helldivers_Wikihttps://helldiverstrainingmanual.com/https://helldiverscompanion.com/https://helldivers.io/https://invadersfromplanet.space/helldivers-2/>NEWSSept 5: Update progress https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4613462911400573371Sept 17: 1.001.100 Patch Notes https://steamcommunity.com/app/553850/eventcomments/6655846466490872829?snr=2_9_100003_Sept 19: Chemical Agents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwdf0G88OEY>CURRENT WARBONDSept 19: Chemical Agents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwdf0G88OEY
>>495471502How far this game has come. I remember when everyone on /coopg/ was shitting on it saying it would never amount to anything. Now its one of the most popular co-op games of all time. Pretty ironic.
This is my weekly 30 seconds pause.
Are sniper scope still misaligned?
What happened to the 60 day plan? There's more coming right?
I haven't played a bug mission in months.
>>495471961Supposed to be fixed.
FUCK BOTS>>495471961No they're all fixed !
Arrowhead coming out of the closet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVTB1q7wwqk
I played the space marine 2 campaign and then dropped it because it was boring. This is a better game, even before this update but now it's even more fun. My goty
>>495472238I knew this would happen. How long before HD2 passes SM2 player count?
>>495472238I love Space Marine 2, but because it's Warhammer 40k. It would have been something else ? Would have dropped it quickly. I still think they can unfuck the game a bit like Helldivers 2 did, making weapons actually slap and stop with the fucking bullet sponges.But in the end ? I've played SM2 with my bros, and in no mission i had great moments like in Helldivers 2. Its too on rail. We keep making clips of insane shit happening in HD2. SM2 ? Eh, its just the exact same old killing, on the same old map, and it doesn't even feel that good.Shame because i want it to be just as fun.
If you didn't see it yet, here is the bushwacker request drawing :)

>>495471961it's not misaligned but visual sway is desynced from actual sway so the more sway the less accuracy when aiming down sights

>>495471502FREEDOM MUST REIGN OVER EVERY LAST STARTHROUGH CITIZEN'S BLOOD SPILLED IN OUR RIGHTEOUS WARS.
Patch is great but I kinda miss having to tailor my loadout for bugs vs bots. Been playing a little this weekend and I am basically settling on just taking Dominator and Railgun to every drop. Also no real need for stuns any more so just take impacts for everything. More stratagems are viable, but I'm still always taking eagle airstrike and 500kg. Still always taking the crutch shield.I guess I should branch out and try more stuff but I always just feel like going back to the weapons I feel most confident with.
>>495472113they clearly have malicious coding when it comes to aiming
>>495475373I've played with nearly everything and i keep changing because now nearly everything is viable in one way or another. Unironically having a blast.
>>495472498Hea I haven't played it but the bullet sponge shit is unappealing
>>495472238>>495472498SM2 is too bland. Every mission has a predetermined number of enemies at set spawns, and the only shakeup is waves where your team is either smart and fights in space they can handle the crush or gets split up in the open and you die.Even Vermintide has more variety to it. SM2 is truly meant for the irl model-buyers that enjoy painting and color design/dressup more than actually playing the game.
all the illiterate brownoids from pandion are now on imber
>>495475564At higher difficulties you need to mag dumb the big boys or hit them with multiple laser sniper shots. The birds fuck take a ridiculous amount of punishment too. Even the canon fodder resists full size bolter rifle shots.
>>495475373>I want LESS content to play withWe had that and nobody liked it.
>>495474820I like em, just wish the effects lasted longer on the sterilizer.Been playing CC man lately, having a blast. Just needs a smidgen more.
having to actually turn down the difficulty just so I can match with people that aren't the same 3 chucklefucks that die 20 times then leave the gamewhere's the supposed 50,000 players at are they all on dif 3 the fuck is going on
>>495475812I enjoy it too. I love supporting my team, could it be with CC or heaving them or whatever. Helldivers 2 is only getting better and better.
>>495475824They are on pandion drinking bug coolaid.
>>495475915Yeaaaah.I think it needs a bit more love on bots tho too. But probably impossible to make happen.
Change that review, anon.
what
>>495475969Well Joel realized that the dumb bugchasers are never going to quit Pandion so he lowered it to 2%. They'll cap it eventually now.
>>495476109Why ? It was always positive.
>>495476125500 can get destroyed
>>495476125He swallowed it.
>enjoying moon planet because endless sightlines means I can live out my overwatch sniper fantasy with the AMRit should be required that one biome with no fog and shit is always available. I don't care if a laser turret can shoot you across the map so long as you can actually see the same turret and it's not wallhacking through pea soup
>>495476109After they add dating sim elements with eagle 1 and pelican.
>>495476287No.It will get liberated instantly and you play on swamp planet 5 now
>>495476287>>enjoying moon planet because endless sightlines means I can live out my overwatch sniper fantasy with the AMRAre you me ? I'm literally running around with my beloved knight, AMR and supply backpack, living my retarded tacticool fantasies.
>>495476420They're already together.
>HMG actually goodkino
>>495476481I mean with me.
>>495472498If SM2 had an open ended mission structure like this game does, it would be a much closer call. But as it is, it's just a fun time you will play for a while and eventually you will have had enough of it. The secret sauce of Helldivers that gives it longevity is the randomly generated mission structure/maps and the tension of the extraction.I think the horde mode when they finally add it might give it some of that spice, but fundamentally it's just a way more conventional game. I have had some good moments on it, that said- Playing with my bro and some random the other night I had a fucking clutch moment where I was on my last sliver of health and just managed to chain lasfusil headshots on Rubrics into executions until my stealth was back up to revive the other two guys. We would have failed the mission if I didn't manage to survive there. Felt awesome. But that was basically only one moment in 5-6 hours of play, and otherwise it's just a bunch of grind to try pad out what is otherwise very lacklustre content.
>>495476606You don't have time for that. Everyone you get with will be dead by the next time we thaw you out for a dive.
STOP RIGHT THERE ANON.Tell me, what is the weapon/stratagem that would make you cum in your pants ?For me it's the explosive packs from the first game, and a sword, or even better, sword and pistol combo.
>>495476672Damn, yeah. Life is tough for helldivers.
>>495473935>>495474192Still 2/4. Last mission of this operation before starting a new one. Automaton blitz. Join us, we're genociding the bots.
>>495476435>tfw have to pick between supply backpack for ensured self-sufficiency and jetpack for better high groundJust another of Super God's little challenges
>>495476769The fixed 500kg explosion.
>>495475786That's completely misunderstanding it, the point is that everything is good now so it means you don't feel incentivised to change up from your favourites.Game is still infinitely better in this state than it was for the last 3-4 months, but it's a valid point.
>Shift: Ended>Monster: Opened>Liberty: At handTime to dive
>>495477168I know the feel.
>>495476769Backpack belt fed HMG.
playstation players are such bitches lmao>NOOOOOOOO DONT PICK MORTARS ON ERADICATE NOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS A BAD IDEA
>>495477163People like to forget that a little less freedom can make your choices feel a lot more meaningful. The game kinda feels like such a sandbox atm, and I'm not really sure how long I'll stay hooked into it.I'm most interested in how they'll make higher difficulties harder without pissing everyone off. I don't really think you can make enemies tankier unless they manage not to fuck up spawns again. Gunfeel in this for people seems to be directly tied to TTK, so enemies that don't die aren't really fun.And they can't really just keep spawning more and more enemies since this shit still has to run on the already unstable as shit ps5 version.
>>495477163Anon, more shit being good means you can choose more shit to play around with. Fun and Meta are diametrically opposed things and the fact that you choose not to try out different comps is not the games fault.Right now there is both effectiveness and freedom in our loadout choices. Sure there are picks that are just plain better with no reason to alter other than 1 strat or primary, but having options that won't feel like shit despite lowering your performance is an extremely hard bar to reach in an average game. And right now HD2 has approached that bar a bit.
>>495476769Belt-fed chain gun, AP 4. Has to spool up but has a fixed cone of fire. Holds 500 rounds that do about half the damage of the HMG.
>>495477526A real chad would just shoot your mortars if they didn't want to deal with them
>shitter keeps going to the other side of the map and dying alone>gets mad when I call him back in away from his shitmaybe stop dying so much? idk with these people anymore
>>495477871won't have to spool up via the realism clause :)
>>495477850I want team cord to be more important than spamming reds effectively desu. I like the idea of the gas updating bringing this CC tool. Helps manage enemies a lot
>>495477938BUT MUH SOLO STEALTH WHILE EVERYONE ELSE PLAYS THE GAME AND DEALS WITH BUG BREACHES
>>495477938>Not letting them do the walk of shame back to their shit on the other side of the map then kicking them so they're left having to deal with the entire mission by themselves with nobody else's samples or gear near them.
>>495477850RIght now we have>everything good, but some are betterAnd it's better than >most is subpar and some are betterAt this point the issue is that too many things are way too similar a substitute to each other, which hinders variety in a way, nut its' still better than it being only 1 option.
>>495478269wasn't the host, he kicked me after i called him a shitter when we tkd me
>>495477871I could see it being balanced by nearly stopping you in place to spool, and takes a while to spool down (can't dive)Or a slower turn speed, so it can't swing around to kill hunters.
>>495478164Maybe if they add specialisations, that add buffs to specific strats/weapons that will incentivise you to build in specific ways. As long as you can freely swap specialisations it could be an interesting customisation option.
>bot eradication d10>weird ass map which has a huge pool of water in the middle of the base
>>495478605Yeah I was thinking that.Like an identity strat with a lower cooldown or something. But some "classes" could be fun, if cursed.
Moonbots suck but I like how they suck. It's like sucking air through an aching tooth. I cannot stay away. I have been exclusively playing moonbots since the patch dropped. It sucks. It sucks. it sucks.
>>495478103It will spool up anyway because they don't actually know shit.
an important message from the keeper of the stars
Came back after the patch, wtf the game became much easier on diff 10 now that ur primaries actually deal damage.Also charger spam is now a non issue with consistent headshots with eats again.And landing 500kg takes 0 skill now.
>>495479509The message: Behead all niggers. That is all.
>>495479509flutey says this one sounds like a day and night cyclehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZsc0Sg4mW4
>>495479678I still wouldn't say it's a worthwhile stratagem when you only get 2 and you could take napalm, cluster, or airstrike instead.
>>495479509>>495479739TELL YOUR CREW TO STOP LOADING SUPPORT PODS WITH YOUR SPARES, WE'RE FIGHTING TYRANNY NOT HOLDING A CONCERT
>>495472019Yes. Trust the plan.
>>495480170Me when they nerfed the flamethrower instead of buffing it.
>>495479989>HOLDING A CONCERTON BOARD THE KEEPER OF THE STARS
We need more AMR/Sniper weapons. I can't get enough. Give me plasma sniper, laser sniper, anti-tank rifle. My body is fucking ready.
>>495480368Anti tank rifle be cool
>upgraded PC just in time to return
will they add zombies? PUBG added zombies
>>495480723Cultists, zombies, demons. That's what I want.
500kg still seems weirdly inconsistent. You drop it right next to a Hulk or Tank and it survives sometimes.
>>495480709Based picture. I'm happy for you anon.
>>495480723>automaton scheme revealed to be a way to mechanically reanimate dead humans as robo-zombies>slow-moving but teeming in numbers>map has a horror-survival vibe to it, sky is blood-red
EATs are so fvcking kino now..... can finally run MMG on bots without being put through Hulk CBT
Remember when the RG was supposed to be the giga OP weapon and all it got was a pity durable damage increase and some shitty breakpoints at unsafe 99% that barely made it into a shitty primary with a chance to blow up and kill you and the RR ended up being the actual good support weapon?
we still need the super earth arena missions with the fixed loadouts and the saber and i want a huge crowd this time
I want automaton dogs. We had them in HD1 iirc
>>495481149rocket grenade?
>>495481316I kinda don't want them because holy cancer. But at the same time, they truly are a Helldivers staple. They have to come back.
>>495481316Give them exploding jetpacks and we got a deal.
>>495481149Wish you guys just called the weapons by their names because i keep forgetting what the fuck you're all talking about
>>495481473>>495481689You can't possibly be this fucking new
I was wrong about reddit
>>495481806I've been here day 1 you faggot, i just have dogshit memory and english isn't my main language.
I still don't understand why everyone creams over the breaker incendiary, it's not that great. It sets shit on fire but burning enemies are still dangerous. I still prefer the regular breaker.
>no stratagems>perpetually dark>foggy>massive hordes>enemies generally quiet before they trigger so you can get snuck up on>bug breach has them literally just crawl out of the ground all around you instead of from a single point>just 5x the amount of bug enemy density but it's only fodder units
Anyone try the new eruptor yet. Its pretty bad especially against bots. The damage is pitiful I don't think it was even buffed. The projectile does no damage and the explosion is only good for trash mobs that are grouped up. For it to be decent it need to have a faster bullet rack speed. Its also clunky and slow to maneuver. Overall it is disappointing.
>>495482157I'm an old Eruptor main. I never liked it against bots. Its goated against bugs tho. Its literally very fucking good. Hell, its got more frags than ever now.
>>495482157it's just a worse crossbow now
>>495471502
>>495482157We need more bot guns. I swear there is only 1 (Diligence counter sniper) and the rest are decent to bad overall.
>>495482124That + gas nades or other gas shit is god tier. DOT build basically.
>>495482157It's niche but it's more for if you are running something like the Stalwart/MG/HMG as your support, then you use the Eruptor for bug holes/fabs and finishing off heavies that your stratagems didn't fully kill. It's not meant to be "this is my main weapon I will mostly rely on".Arguably it's just kind of in a bad place because the crossbow does all those things better now.
>>495482395>Dominator>Xbow>Slugger>Plasma PunisherIt's in your head man
Behold, the voice of the community
>>495482395Dominator and Scorcher are both top tier on bots (and bugs tbf) for me. The important thing is the explosive damage lets you take out scout striders without fucking around getting a shot at the back, just shoot them from the front. DCS still can't do that, can it? I used it earlier to try out again but I don't remember.
>>495482157Skill issue, I use it on bots almost all the time. It's like DCS with AOE that kills clumps of devs while staggering them and destroys fabricators.
>>495481149Railgun is still nice to have on the team for deleting chicken walkers.
>>495482558>Equips light armour.>Gets hit and instantly dies, rendering the 6 stims he starts with as pointless.Trench Medic armour is a fucking bait for retards.
>>495472191why is Sony pushing Helldivers2 lately? is it because they are now betting on concord?
I LOVE STIMS
>>495483313They lost 400 million dollars on Concord and are trying to recoup their losses by making Helldivers 2 their new Concord.
>>495482837AMR is better all around for that. 1 shots them and doesn't need to charge.
>>495483313>lately>>latelyI know you're excited about the new TORtanic but >>>lately
>>495483476HOLY powercreep. And I thought 2tapping them was good
Arrowhead needs to put decay rates in some form on the galactic map and also force a tutorial to understand how the goddamn galactic war works. It would help more in getting people to not bash their skulls into pointless planets like pandion and now imber. Who the fuck am I kidding? The tards would just skip reading a tutorial and rush through it like the orbital napalm order.
>>495483008he put sickle in F tier for bots
>>495483313It's not like they have something else
Dagger is pretty goated this patch, on bots at least. Good sidearm if your primary already staggers most bots (you should be using a primary that staggers bots). I'm glad it's finally a desirable gun, I think it looks awesome and always wanted to bring it with. Now that you can carry a ton of frag grenades for fabs, I don't feel pressured to bring the grenade pistol or AC in every game. >>495483619You have to shoot the leg joint though, that's all. Otherwise it's like 4-5 shots to kill.
>>495483619Railgun has always been a shittermagnet. Fags just hear it's good and don't try anything else despite it being so easily proven wrong.
>>495483493they really weren't doing shit with it and actively worked to hamstring the game in favor of some destiny tranny expansion + boosting their quarterly
>>495483645Doesn't this faggot play solo all the time? That's probably why his tier list is all retarded
Is it still fucked? It's my last upgrade.
>>495484064No, it's fine now.
>>495483632This might be hard for your to get your head around, but nothing they implement would make a difference, because people don't actually care about the galactic war. People chose to play on the planets they like playing on.No amount of autistic screeching will make people play on specific planets.
I am autistic and can only use armor sets that have black and yellow in the colour scheme. Why don't they add more bros...
>>495483008Skill issue
>>495484497the 20k people on pandion aren't there because they>likethe planetthey are there because it's the first one they can see after looking at the galactic mapif available planets were shown in a list with the MO planets being on top, this wouldn't have ever been an issue
>>495484064It's not even something you'll really feel since the AI on mortar sentries is so fucked up.
>>495484497>People chose to play on the planets they like playing on.That argument falls flat with Imber. People HATE fire planets and they are only there because they don't get that attacks can be cut off.
>>495482157The truth is that it was never good
I thought I threw this so that you'd be able to see it.
>>495482558>>495483008you can't get an eleven kill streak
the calm before the storm, the last bit of peace before the heavy chickens and devastators show up
>>495484497>People chose to play on the planets they like playing on.WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. PEOPLE DID NOT PLAY ON NIVEL-43 WHEN IT WAS IN ROTATION. WHY ARE THEY PLAYING ON PANDION NOW, NIGGER? NOT BECAUSE IT'S FUN. THAT'S FOR SURE.

It feels like they fucked with the dark levels on the moon planets lmao. I don't remember it being THIS dark on them.
the white rocket bots are ruining that front for me as a botdiver
>>495485558That's weird, I remember thinking this about the last update before this one. Since the last one, my moon biomes haven't had as much of a contrast between light and dark. I haven't messed with any brightness settings either.
>>495485558advanced darkness
>>495485727I haven't changed my settings either and basically just log in to play when my friends say the moon planets are open on either side. The cool thing about that was that day and night were about the same, high contrast with thin atmosphere. This is.... >>495485782 ADVANCED DARKNESS
The dominator or crossbow feel pretty much required on bots now that the chickens have closed cockpits. I miss being able to bring my plasma punisher, scorcher, or just anything else and flanking the walker instead. Exploding the missiles feels so inconsistent, they just die without blowing up so often.
>>495472617Getting off work and seeing my request come to life brightened up my night. Ty art anon!
>>495485558>Hmm, bots look a lil funny in the dar-WAIT FUCK.
>>495476137Part of me wishes he'd left it at 3% for the entire MO just for shits and giggles.
>>495482124It simply has the highest DPS of all primaries while also being able to dispatch large packs simultaneously with dotThere is no competition And no, you're not supposed to wait for enemies to burn down, you have a big magazine, use it
>>495483915fair pointin his tier list video anything that couldn't 2 tap alpha commanders was below F tier
>>495486261god can you fucking imagine if they added a new faction that took advantage of the limb destruction system, I know you can shoot all the legs off of a brood commander and watch it drag along the ground but thats more of a novelty thing
>>495484767>>495485059Most people are basically NPcs and they just go wherever they see the highest number of other players. There's also the quickplay button adding to that. The next biggest factor (me and my friend always decide this way) is the modifiers. If there's an annoying modifier on a planet we don't go there, simple as that.I'll concede it's an oversimplification to say people only chose people chose the planet they like most, that's not quite true; but it's definitely true that the galactic war "system" is barely a factor in people's decision at all. Autists need to learn to get over it, the most annoying aspect of this community is HURR BUGDIVERS NOT HELPING WITH THE ORDER DURRR (or vice versa) DURR WE NEED SUPPLY LIIINES bullshit. Nobody cares.
what's a good primary against bugs now?
>>495486573>Autists need to learn to get over itHow about Arrowhead not make the system not piss off people that derive their fun from the macrogame, then?

>Solo retard>Cant decide on weapon to deal with armored bugsaugh
>>495482124Lotta chaff clear. One shot kills a wave of hunters if you have space to wait out the DoT. It also has insane durable damage which makes it solid against brood stuff and even charger asses.>>495486525I'm genuinely mad the limbs on brood commanders aren't weaker so this isn't an optimal strat.Should be able to just drop them down to the ground with a spray of bullets.
OK I think EVERY hit breaking a limb should be scaled back a bit.
>>495484497You're right. Everyone disagreeing is autistically screeching too. The entire war system needs a revamp top to bottom.
>>495486970>you cannot of into likings of capitalist pig scum of American rock as glorious conscriptovitch of Mother RussiaComrade if the the Insurgencies of Militia can be listening to such things as haram as Phonk and Music Dancing of Electronics then I do not think you need to forgo rock yourself.
>>495486798Legit? Hive guards fucked me last time I used it.
I'm tired of rocket chicken. I wish they had a weakspot that isn't as tiny and inconsistent as the missiles so I'm not forced to bring a pen 3 primary to deal with them while running something other than the pen 4 supports.
>>495486847damn you chickened out dude. Gotta let the reticle center up first.
>>495487408Bro your nades? Also Hive Guards are slow as hell and if you hit them with anything they stop in their tracks. Just go around them and hit the side/back.
>>495486525Honestly a fourth faction that consists of all kinds of body horror meat abominations would be quite fun if their gimmick was to delimb them.
>>495486637I like the Knight. It's basically the Liberator but with the ability to mag dump, which is always handy against bugs. One Handed isn't always useful, but if you ever need to carry the SSSD during a data upload mission or carry the Mutated Egg for your team, you aren't relegated to a liability.
>>495487408No, it's shit. Imagine recommending a weapon that struggles against scavengers. Idk if it's trolling or diff 5 opinion.
>>495487270Crossbow, eruptor, or adjudicator do that and also can handle hordes, not considering what support weapon you bring. On my solo runs, I bring the cookout, senator (solely for the hive guards 2 shot kill), thermites (woth +2 grenade armor), grenade launcher (spewers, commanders, charger butts), 500kg, gas strike, and Gatling barrage. Good coverage all around.
>>495487591Getting shot and staggered didn't help either, but I think instead of trying to powerslide the last few feet I should have dove instead.
Is palette matching something arrowhead has talked about recently?
>>495487180I say tie the Dwellerspawn to a ship and send them to Cyberstan
>>495487652One handed is useful when you need to run away and shoot back, but it's more useful on bots berserkers than bugs
>>495487383its a fun time either way, mic'd gaming is slowly healing. Concernfags swore up and down people were going to use the body shield voicechat for EBIL RACISM in the BO6 beta and it was literally just people being retards and ERP. Both the perpetrator AND victim

How to counter automatons using soijaks to depict you?
Has anyone able to ricochet an AC round into a fabricator since the last patch? Also, I shot a tank turret in the back six times with it and it only got it on fire, where it used to take three shots to destroy them. >>495488223Shoot them until they die.

>>495486573>stop trying to play the game as intendedi will not. Bugniggers must hang.
>>495488192under normal circumstances I'd say the laser is usually where the bullet goes, but your webm says otherwise so I got nothing
>>495488192Are you on top of a SAM launcher, not surprised the hitbox is fucked because its usually spinning around.
>>495488223
>>495488437god it gets funnier the longer you look at it
>>495488192I get this shit all the time but I use xbow so I also hurt myself doing it
>>495488402That's what I thought at first because of all the other height over bore stuff I've heard about other weapons but I'm more so trying to draw attention to the circle reticle. It doesn't track the laser, it's the barrel indicator, right? It snapping around is kinda weird too. >>495488430It was when I was on top of a SAM launcher, but it hadn't been activated at that point.
>>495488192for me, it's the invisible hitbox of every single dead hulk that blocks your bullets but not enemy bullets
>>495488715For me it's the invisible nursing spewer corpse that just blocks everything when the sack gets blown up.
>>495488437holy kek hahahaha
>>495487652Knight is good. Those high rpm guns just require more discipline so you don't waste too many bullets, which makes them unpopular.
>>495488223>4 underaged kids with pretend armor just wiped out 2000 bots including tanks and factory striders and 9 outposts>90% win rate
>>495488437Bruh, it's so hard to kill heavy devs with the mg-43, they just flinch and their shield wobbles all over the place.
I've been bringing the quasar to claorell (the moon planet) and it's actually pretty useful. You can destroy outposts from across the map since there's nothing blocking line of sight most of the time.
Okay the absolute funniest thing you can do with the RR is blasting a factory strider belly as it's being flown in.Try it!
>>495488954It's a good thing it comes with fire select modes that do that for you then.
>>495476769For me, it'd be a lighter walker, maybe built on the same chassis as the Patriot/Emancipator, but pared down like those 1st Recon Humvees during Operation Iraqi Freedom. >MG-43 on a pintle mount on top for a buddy>twin-linked HMG on one arm that can be reloaded/resupplied by someone carrying resupply pack or HMG>automatic grenade launcher on the other arm.

>>495489376Yes, I believe burst fire mode was invented for vietnam drafted teens to stop them from wasting bullets.
Now that the dust has settled, which sentry won?
>>495489905Autocannon.It spams its ammo, but it actually uses its ammo before it's broken.
>>495489905rockets might be better but the autocannon wins because its more satisfying to use
Only 6 hours to pick up the Chud Helmet!It will probably return since superslop store is in a rotation but that could take weeks.
>>495489582burst fire modes in firearms were originally developed to waste more bullets in hopes of landing more hits with less need for training on individual soldiers. Burst fire modes are a long running meme that has never had a real military application because the problem they solve hasn't been relevant to conventional warfare for 90+ years. Your NATO tax dollars at work.
>>495488976>t.
>>495489905Autocannon after the d10 update. Rocket tends to break before it can do much of anything now.
>>495490208Does that logic apply to the AN-94 as well? I'd love if we had a gun in this game that functioned like that.
>tfw scrawny with glasses and shit facial hair

>>495490458wrong thread? simply lose the facial hair and twink maxx
>>495490208I tried it in game and it seems much worse than simply sticking to full auto and controlling how long I hold down the trigger. I think that's about how it goes in real life as well.
>>495490458hey sameeven helldivers wouldn't take me and they'll take just about anything with a pulse and enough brain to throw pokeballs
>>495481898hacked armor?
>>495490458just become a leandiver(Male), you could probably still pull this look off >>495489524 with enough super tofu
>>495490420The AN-94 was developed to penetrate NATO's better armor with conventional ammo. Its burst mechanism is about putting two bullets through the barrel before recoil changes the trajectory of follow up shots. Turns out just making specialized ammo is cheaper and probably more effective than developing an entire weapons platform based on the doubleshot mechanism (you should see how the an-94 works, its wild). A double fire gun in Helldivers would just be a slightly higher pen liberator with really shitty ammo economy.
>>495491494lmao, they really thought the average soldier would have both the IQ and patience to clean and maintain that fucking thing as well as keep up with spare parts. Classic lesson in why weapons manufacturers love the civilian market, no matter how batshit your design SOMEONE is going to want one. Just look at fucking KelTec.

>>495491831I don't even mind the rockets one-shotting you.It's how they launch you out of cover when they hit the over a meter thick rock in front of you so you die to either impact or getting shredded by the five heavy devs you were trying to kill.
>>495492051no, not until we figure out how to drop in from orbit and not fucking diebut i'd imagine the volunteer legion in ukraine is the closest thing right now as you're literally just thrown into the shit after a 5 minute introduction to your billion dollar NATO-funded equipment

>>495491494Give the Lib Pen the AN-94 double shot burst and I'd use it.
>>495493540Seconded, I'd love to be reunited with my raifu. It even looks similar.
Reminder that they fucked up the flamethrower and it needs to be fixed
>>495492582It's the bugdivers' fault for congregating at a 3% decay planet for a full fucking week instead of trying to go for any of the other more easily liberated planets. Hell, it's also their fault for spreading themselves out over so many planets that the potential liberation rate of any individual planet goes down the shitter.Imagine if there weren't more than 8k players each on Gacrux and Peacock, and all of them had gone to Pandion the whole time.
>>495492235Pretty sure most/all of the volunteer legion are former soldiers from NATO countries anyway, and thus were already trained on how to use that equipment years ago.
does gas grenade obscure vision for enemies on the other side, or just for enemies inside the aoe?
>>495493935>It's the bugdivers' fault for congregating at a 3% decay planetWhere does it show that on the ingame map again?
>>495494336just enemies inside. They get hit with a DOT effect that will cause them to act like they don't see you and attack randomly. USUALLY 90 degrees to where they were originally facing.
>>495494397it's the bugdivers fault the botside lost 2 planets on the first day, don't question the narrative, ok?
>>495492235We can already drop in from orbit and not die using a reentry capsule. But it's not really practical to deploy a few soldiers that way.

>>495495129I'd love to, but take it up with the bot divers for constantly blaming everyone else because they cant finish any of their MOsthey constantly bitch about us, and we don't even think about them
>>4954946563/4slowstop shitposting and join the fray
Dark math juju.If you take commando and torcher, you can one tap a charger/behemoth in the face with the commando and finish them off instantly with flames. Could do this too with hulks.
I told you we'd have to liberate Pandion or it would waste all our liberation points.
>>495494656alright thenhdg is a no showlobby canceled
>>495495769mother fuck i was launching the game
>>495495827unfortunateill make some food and rehost in like 30 minutes or so
Did they just lowered the Pandion's regen rate?
>>495496041yeah it's only 2% bleed now.
>>495496041there should be no regen rate at all ever on any planet, change my mind
>>495496221>bug front cleared within a week of starting the war just like in hd1yeah great idea retard, got any more?
>>495496221planets would need to be more linear to attack, and take way longer to liberate. But I could see that.We'd be done with bugs by now though, like 10 times over.
>>495496221This, it's retarded that you have 10k people on planets doing nothing. Just make them attack us more often or just make it way slower to take them.
remember when we cleared bots off the map and like ten posters were convinced they were never coming back and got refunds because they 'lost 50% of the game for no reason'. Pretty funny
>>495496298>bugs can't just take a different planet
>>495496221idk but it would make more sense if the regen rate was based on supply lines, like 1% per route to friendly territory so if you encircle a plant it drops to 0% regen.
>>495496440without the regen rate, the offense of gamerdads and bugchasers will always outpace the defenseunless you're content with the>somehow, they have returnedover and over again
>>495495129>Work together.Doesn't matter. We're the minority among the sea of retards that negatively influence the game by choosing bait planets to throw liberation away on.
>>495496298https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewc4aTrP_fA
>>495496414people sure are high strung.
>>495496590>somehow, they have returned>over and over againthis happens anyway, at least with no regen rate you can actually cap a planet and not have some swigger arbitrarily set a regent rate
>>495495730Devs finally caved and cut the decay rate. Can always sell it narratively as "wearing down enemy resistance."
>>495496414I don't remember that and I believe you're making that up.
>>495496674Really? Lets say we can get like a group of 12 solid helldivers here. Instead of grouping with each other for a easy missions we could all group with randoms and steer them into missions on planets that need help, and with hope and luck those randoms will steer people in the right direction in their own games.A lot of fingercrossing going on in that but its better than coming to 4chan to bitch
>>495496985what the hell...
>>495496221I say there should be no hidden planet stats whatsoever and the only mechanic should be that liberation actually impacts gameplay and so missions are easier/harder based on liberation percentage, with some kind of buff to MO planets so the blob doesn't just go away and people remain inclined to contribute to the MO.That way the hardcore people can go way off the beaten path and still be useful, they'll just have to put up with increased patrol rates (since there's no offensive going on) and lower reinforcement stocks (the budget is lower since it's not a planet the SEAF is focusing on)
>bot planets>-.5% decay>typical bug planet>2% fucking everythingI wish bugs just captured more planets and they were easier to liberate. I want to do missions on those acid planets that lower armor.
CHUDWAFFE IM ARBEIT
>>495497068that'd be cool.>SUPER fucking hard missions near liberationMake it more fun to liberate shit then.
>>495496221they actually can't make taking planets harder with their shit enginepeople have been asking for increased enemy resistance over their shitty -5/hr system since launchmission success rate will remain at 90% for the remainder of HD2
>>495494397If you and 20k players were diving the same planet for a week straight without the liberation meter moving an inch, you wouldn't question it? I get it to an extent but they're just fucking retarded, with or without any third party tools to show everything.

>>495474850I was waiting for YEARS for external GPU technology to reach parity with internal GPUs at the high-end, but now that that time might finally be approaching, more games are CPU-stressful than ever, so I guess gaming laptops will simply remain a fool's errand.

>hdg lobby is full>say fuck it and drop into a d7 pub>6 minutes on planet 6 reinforcements left>literal 8 year old sounding kid on the micgood luck faggots
Botchads, to Clasa after this?It only has a 1% decay rate, I'm thinking if we get Claorell it'll go down to 0.5%
>>495500427>faggot kid complains because i kill him after he teamkilled everyone with his fucking arc thrower>gets killed by the explosion of the drill objective>starts screeching and gets kicked by host
>>495497030Anon, I'm sorry, but you're gonna need to stop inhaling that hopium. The reality is we do not having the numbers game to influence the war like we might be able to in Helldivers 1.
>>495500024One knife to their fat heads will stagger them and chunk the health down below half.
>>495500593Less than 2 days left really doesn't give a lot of a chance here for the botfront players to even get a planet from near 0% to 100% even with a -1% decay rate. I think at this point people will actually have to follow the Pandiontards in capping the planet, because with -2% decay it's now actually a possibility, as even now it's already starting to go positive in liberation.
I really hope devs will buff melee, or give us bayonets or whatever. Hitting a hunter 5 times in the fact to kill it is fucked up.
>>495501183Fair.Theres even 13K on Imber achieving nothing when instead if they were on Claorell it would be cleared already and the defense won instantly.
I disabled voice chat ages ago and haven't looked back once since.
>>495496221That's a fair idea, but they would also have to account for that by increasing the total hp of a planet to make up for a decay instead then.
>>495498323How do you niggers post your links on here without getting filtered?
>>495501432
>>495500593Hold Imber, then head to Clasa. Unfortunately there's a decent-sized blob on Gaellivare right now so we might see congregation there. Not the worst thing in the world though, that one's only 1.5%.

>>495505053In the good old days, they'd just release Helldivers 3 after one year in development and it would rarely ever crash.
>>495505119Well fuck meI fucking hate Blitz missions
>>495504936Correct. The spawns were balanced around d10 so anything below that is fucked.
Quasar cannon is a SSS+ tier pick now, even more so than the RR>infinite ammo>passive, self-reload>zero bullet drop>no backpack, can bring the bubble shield, ammo pack or guard dog with you>1 shot headshot Bile titan>1 shot headshot Behemoth charger>2 shot headshot Impaler>1 shot bot fabs anywhere on it's body>1 shot Hulk anywhere on it's body>2 shot tank/cannon turret frontal armor>3 shot headshot Factory StriderQuasarGODs, we are so back
>>495503056It was never at 5000 you retarded mongoloid and it was at 63K when last update dropped vs 68K of this patch.
>unironically wearing chud helmetYep, that's a kick
>>495506232>even more so than the RRI think it's a pretty solid argument either way now. Quasar is definitely much better during the traversal portions of the match but the RR is stronger during holdouts, especially extractions since a lot of backpacks fall off at that point and being able to teamload someone with the spare RR backpack dropped at evac means you can invalidate the heavy armor that spawns from the reduced enemy reinforcement delays which can overwhelm the quasar.
>>495498323ze vorld is sickund vi are ze doctors
I still exclusively take the extra stims armor. Just can't get used to not having 6 stims.
>>495506930
>>495506232RR is better for combat, quasar is better as utility (i.e. clearing stuff from far away)
>>495506232>sees hulk>charges shot>grunt shoots you>whiff shot>hulk rapes you
>>495507083Wait do the stim pistol needles stay permanently embedded until you die? They don't despawn at all?
>>495507302yes
>>495507298>see hulk>aim shot>grunt shoots you>whiff shot>whoa time out botbros give me 5 seconds to squat and reload
>>495507298That's why you run bubble shield or guard dog with quasar.
>>495507591>needing the diaper shield
>bubble shield>quasarholy fucking shitter i am lmaoing so hard>guard dog on bots HOLY KEK
>>495507632That's why I run guard dog instead. More damage is just better over all as a backpack vs the shield.
>>495506429Shut up alexus. You're supposed to be muted.
>>495507670>QC>shield backpack>super light scout armor against botsthe returning meta slaves are so easy to spot
I run the Quasar without the shield nor the guard dog though, cope>"B-BUT I SAID YOU DO SO IT MUST BE SO AAAAAA"
Last pelican off the moon is gonna be empty boys.
>>495507505vs the quasar's 15 sec cooldown (additional 2.5 to intense heat modifier) I disagree. You could have downed like 2 factory striders with the RR before you could even fire your next shot with the quasar.
>>495492582>Why do we even have this "story" stuff. Should just be like helldivers 1 where we can win the war.Because the game is in early access and most of the planets aren't done yet.
>wearing heavy armor now that armor is worthless again
quaso~
>>495508436>speed is my ACK
>>495508436Limb health was changed, not total health. This means us heavy bubble bros are winning even harder.
Every fucking time I play bots and it decides to spawn unlimited waves of enemies it crashes right during the extract, without exception.
>>495508916pub aids
>>495508436I can't imagine not wearing heavy padded or at least heavy fortified/physique against bots
>>495506232Quasar can't oneshot Shrieker nests, RR can and takes them down pretty much instantly from afar.That alone puts RR a tier above Quasar, and we aren't even accounting the fact that Quasar needs to load shots.But Quasar is decent.
>>495508945It really is a shame because that is when the game is most fun but you can never actually complete it.
>>495489524w-why does she has a weird expression on her face?
Commando is the big loser of this patch, there's no reason to use it over EATs/Queso anymore with how anemic it's damage is now
they gotta release squids soon because this gloom thing is going nowhere. It feels like it's been 2 months since the gloom appeared and still nothing of any importance has happened with it at all
>>495509121pubs are the most fun or extraction?>>495509176yeah i'm not sure what mission type or loadout would see command being useful
>>495508436>getting oneshot instead of three shot
>>495509176What do you mean anon?
>>495509280no the game is the most fun when there are nonstop unlimited waves of enemies
>the defense of Claorell instantly ended the attack on ImberOh, didn't actually see that was where the attack was coming from. I should pay more attention to that really, but gambits only ever happen once in a blue moon so I wasn't expecting it.
>>495509178nothing has come of cyberstan
>>495508436>be heavy armor>can't even outrun alpha commanders and alpha soldiers>can't even outrun rocket volleys>they still kill you just as fast as with light armorWhy did they do this?I swear the previous balance system was fine, you could tank up to 5 hits by alpha bugs, now you die in 2.And I swear the slashes that hit my head are always crippling my legs, so it's even harder to run away.It's genuinely retarded.
>>495509469Health wasnt changed drastically, but enemies deal way more damage now.See >>495494719
>Everyone keeps dying because the bugs keep spawning on them.>We lose 8 divers and counting>Active autism and go on the highest cliff on the objective>T-pose and stare into as much space I can to blanket the area in my gaze>Enemies don't spawn where I see and they spawn a mile away now just barely out of sight>Everyone can now do the objective so we can gtfoHas anyone else thought of this?
>>495509813dummy-kun, enemies don't care about your LOS and will spawn in plain sight, especially so since the patch
>>495509550>nerfed headshot damage>made sure to increase damage to every other body part to compensate>made sure to also raise enemies damage to compensateWhy did they do this?Heavy armor feels terrible now.
>>495509891but it worked
>>495505053because the devs were fucking shitters for letting the game get to this state and no one wants to support them if this is just going to be a temporary thing to try to entice people back
>>495509961placebopatrols will generally spawn at the edge of the map
>>495509892Really? I think medium armor feels terrible but heavy at least lets you survive a bit better.
>>495494719holy based. faith in AH restoredbuff the helldivers and hype the shit out of it, then secretly rework and buff a bunch of enemy shit in the background lmao. Notice that they didn't mention increasing the health numbers for BTs or the flame vs Charger rework in the notes. I actually love it.Despite these changes, Super Helldive still feels a little too easy, at least vs bugs. I'll try to play some against bots this weekend
>>495504110i ended up making a massive playlist of basically all the songs i like from 1975-1995 and cannibalized another playlist for it. 940 songs, 73 hours of tunes to dive to. very nice.
I like the fact that crippling happens a lot more often now. It felt like an underused mecnanic previously
>>495509176I dunno, you don't need to one-shot an enemy with an AT weapon for it to be useful. Since you can break any big bug leg armor with one shot and still have rockets left over, I could see it being handy as a utility armor stripper. Open up an armor plate, hose it down with the help of teammates, and still be able to immediately pull out another rocket to do it to another big bug. You can also still kill Hulks with eye shots or heat sink shots without the gross amount of overkill of other AT weapons, and bring down Gunships with one shot (and again, still have rockets left over against an enemy that always shows up in packs).We always knew that it being able to one-shot Fabricators was never going to last, and it was foolish to expect otherwise. Just acknowledge it, and focus on the weapon's strengths rather than its weaknesses.
>>4955091764 commandos still do more damage than 2 EATs and you can have all 4 of them slung on your back at once unlike the EAT.It's in a fine spot it'll just require some new tactical thinking to make up the difference
>>495510121Bots are even easier, at least if you use a meta support weapon.
Wondering why I was having so much fun and realized I was on level 6Chill vibes and map clears, no deaths
>>495510112Try heavy armor against bugs in D10 solo, it's cock and balls torture.It used to be viable and allowed you to run weapons without push force so its niche was "if a Stalker ganks me, I won't get oneshot", now you get ganked by a single bug that runs faster than you, you'll likely die almost instantly.You also die instantly to bots too, and you can't outrun their hits, like medium and light armor can.You just don't have the stamina to deal with a big chunk of enemies, and your bonus resistences mean nothing if you die in 2 hits when an enemy gets on top of you.
>>495509176Can't you just shoot two rockets at once with it?
>All these players>we liberated two planets>look at the chart>all the planets people have been fighting on for DAYS still <= 1%HOW WTF IS GOING ONalso post HD reaction images I need them in my folder
>>495509176Can you still shoot fabs with it?
>>495509176it one shots gunships anywhere now, not just to the engines, so it's ease of use is greatly improved on the bot front
>>495510618yes but it's a 2-shot now.
>>495510408People don't point this out enough, the Commando being able to carry everything from the hellpod at once is a major advantage. If you hold onto a Commando for the entire cooldown period, you have the potential to drop eight rockets in the next engagement, which is absurd. Even moreso when you realize that the bigger AT weapons often end up overkilling targets and thus can be quite damage-inefficient.
>>495510567news that the devs are reversing all their dumb shit is spreading
>go from solo bugs to solo bots>take flamethrower and gas just for funnies>drunk as fuck, myb shouldn't go on such a hard difficulty>eh whats the worst that could happen>easiest fucking missions everI thought bots were supposed to be harder, holy crap all you do is throw strategems, and huck explosives over cover and shit.
I have a new keyboard and I need to adjust to it, post bot lobbies
>>495510919also to addstrafing run and gas grenades are the stupidest strongest shit I've seen.Do not sleep on this strategem. It's probably gonna get nerfed, I can take out heavy bases from a mile away without entering. Absolutely busted.
>>495511263It has always been good, dont know why it has been ignored
>>495511263let people sleep on it
>>495471783I was a naysayer
>>495511307It destroys fabs now, and can hard pen everything in the game. Pair this with a commando and the torcher, and you can chew through everything hyper efficiently. Really coooooooool stuff
>wake up>free 500kg bomb
>>495510531>d10 solook well you should probably do light armor for that anyway so you don't run out of mission time.
So Cyberstan is the Automatons base of operations and Creek is considered THE Automaton planetWhat about the Bugs? Hellmire?
>>495511621Heavy armor without stamina booster used to full clear pre-patch.
>>495511708Cyberstan is the capital, yes. Creek is legendary due to peak hype + peak autism. ZE BUG's closest thing to a Creek is Estanu since it's the most defended/fought over planet on the entire front... But we have no clue what the bug home world is, if they even have one.
>still no light or heavy armor with Democracy ProtectsHow useful would such an armor set be, anyhow?
>>495511708crimsica
>>495510919yeah, i'd say bots are a little easier than bugs.
>>495471783/coopg/ is dominated by fans of Warhammer Fourty Gays. As such, they harbor a deep hate for any sci-fi that might appeal to the dastardly normie jocks and icky femoids who are too smallminded to appreciate any the flawless paintjobs on muh glorious armies.
>>495511263wtf, I keep trying this stratagem and idk what it's supposed to be good at. What am I supposed to be killing with it?
>>495511708Bug home planet is likely way out in unknown space. I doubt Meridia was the first hive world
>>495512129>Meridia wasn't the first hive worldfear.
Remember when we destroyed a super colony and it had zero impact on the bugfront?
>>495512412We stopped getting triple defenses bi-daily anon.
>>495507670ballistic dog is great on bots, can wipe out a surprise patrol while you're reloading. the obvious play is to combine it with railgun or AMR though instead of queso.
>>495512028Everything Softens the fuck outta shit too
ok so swedes spent like 4 months to remove accidental missile oneshotsthen they reintroduced missile oneshots but this time intentionalwhat are they thinking?
imagine if the illuminates mailed meridia back to us
>>495511708Kepler Prime was their homeworld, but it's not on the map.Hellmire could be considered an iconic bug planet. It's a desert world like Kepler Prime was. And I remember when shriekers were first released, it was pretty cool fighting them at night on Hellmire with fire tornadoes lighting up the skies.
>>495512556Okay, well I could only kill the Implier with it. Does it kill Hulks in one run?
at least those pandion divers can start putting in work
>>495511923It's like when they start spawning stupid amounts of patrols is when bots get bad. Post final OBJ? Fucking retarded.But man dude, popping a bunch of hulk eyes with the commando, snipping fabs and just doing awful things to lil prebuscent troopers is kinda... Fun.Ant gotta worry bout some bullshit insta kill spawning, or something that'll ragdoll you a billion times cause it just saw you across the map. Man. Shame the flames don't work on those walker sentries.
>>495512916What the fuck was the decay on it to stop it from getting above 2% for a week with 20k divers consistently on it?
>>495512916GET TO PANDION
>>495512579>ragdolls seem a little extreme and people are dying from the impact force from hitting the ground too often>so in this patch we'll be making it so hulks exclusively spawn with twin laser cannons, both of which knock you over if they even breeze past your shoulder, and let the chicken missiles kill you from impact force???
>fucking retards lobbing 500kgs on the jungle planet>increased explosion radius means I get teamkilled 7 times in a row by 500kgs hitting the treetop canopy above us
>>4955129913%
>>495511872Heavy armor? TrashLight armor? Fucking amazing.I'd use that and resupply, and just stim all the time.>>495512903Not unless you're super lucky. It just compliments other shit that does damage to hulks. Kinda puts them in a crit state so your support weapons just go...BLAM BLAM BLAM..- KSSHHH-BEWM!
>>495512579>Buff weapons>But power-creep them with more enemy health so only AT is better>Bloat the damage and health numbers tooYou tell me
>>495512579Internet said they wanted the game to be more like launch and devs listened
>>495513091>die 7 times in a row to the same thing>calling other people retardssisyphus wept
>>495513206at launch missiles didn't break mach 3 and you could at least dodge them
>>495513131I usually headshot Hulks, or I kill them with a red strat like OPS.Strafing is cool but I usually end up taking Gatling Barrage instead just to fully suppress an area.
>>495513143Yeah.>We made it so everything can kill shit!>Actually make the TTK worse than before for fmamers>Unironically tought bonus damage to support weapons, when all the heavies get buffedNoooo fucking wonder they didn't show off the rocket changes before hand. People would realize "oh 2000 HP is the kill threshold for eyes and faces?"But I will say. I'm glad there's a sorta scale between heavies and like super heavies. Means they're probably gonna start spawning a hundred hulks and chargers now.
>>495513206also no, misiles did not oneshot at launch, it started happening when they nerfed helldiver hp with armor update and introduced headshots
>>495513218>3 people interchangeably throwing a nuke during a bug breach where the stratagem beam has little to no relation on where the bomb is actually going to detonate >explosion covers roughly the entire surface area of the objective zoneit's tantamount to my situational awareness I didn't die more
>>495513143I think they only power-creeped the heavy armor enemy health pools so it's not power creep overall.But they did get their damage increased yeahwhat's this about missile oneshots?
What's the S tier armor? The basic armor is high A tier as it isEveryone is wearing it again
>>495513604S-tier armors are light armor with engineering kit and peak performance.
>>495513358Ops fell off pretty hard for me. Feel like you need to be able to kill 4 hulks a minute pretty consistently. Also cursed thing is now that everything got buffed that needs to kill heavies, the best strats right now are the ones that had their damage ludicrously buffed to actually tangle with the higher health pools. Like rocket sentry fucks now!?
>>495513604extra padding, fortified, and democracy protects are the top tier ones if you ask menot dying is kingservo assisted improves your killing power though so it's hard to pass
is this a "shit gun" situation talking about armor? I haven't played a d10 bots yet where everyone isn't rocking super-heavy armor to avoid being oneshot.
>buff a few weapons to be how they should've been at launch>fix 0 bugs>triple spawn rate>crank physics to 300% so faceplanting into your ankles (read: a 3foot drop) is fatal and helldivers are cartoonishly cartwheeling 300 meters across the map>despite the constant 300m cartwheels, randomly take no fall damage because of numerical stack overflow
>>495513604luv me extra padding. vs bugs it's this, or medic armor if you have the amphetamine booster
>>495513604Probably medic armour even if they all look ass. Servo Assisted is my personal favourite, being able to lob stratagems further is a game changer.
>>495513604Peak physique for guns, Medic for baby mode stim spam, grenadier for thermite spam, fart armor for orbital gas strike spam, padded + health booster for stupid amounts of damage reduction.
>>495513604Medic + Infusion>Get grazed by a rock>Lose both your arms>Get shot on your ankle>Lose 70% of your HP
>>495513715Protective medium armor perks as mentioned in this post >>495513692 are the typical /hdg/ convention, alongside vitality booster. The latter should always be your first priority booster on bugdives.
>>495513778I had an orbital airburst detonate a hellbomb with the first attack, then the other two never went off and somehow a strat jammer ~200m away exploded. Wish I’d clipped it but I have no idea how that happened. Also had a 500kg skip and land about 100m beyond the beacon.
>>495512916remember how bugfuckers were ridiculing redditors for sitting at creek?at that time people didn't even know how decay works lol
>>495513940>on bugdivesbotdives*Though it makes sense on bugdives too, even though bugs are all chaff at this point.
>>495513940>Vitality is mandatoryIt's amazing how one fucking change forces everyone to take shit that ignores it. Kinda feels bad, cause you see this so much in errything.
>>495514079vitality was always the best booster
>>495513868Any recoil reducing perk is honestly stronger than peak physique. Sway can be played around. Recoil is static.
>>495514051To be fair against bots if you're not ragdolling you can stim.Bugs two shot you, but they ALL stunlock you with their two hits. So if they touch you once... You're dead.
>>495513604Anything with Engineering Kit is top tier. Extra grenades were always useful pre-patch when you needed to constantly stun Charger Behemoths due to how prevalent they were (and how useless AT weapons were at killing them), and even post-patch you simply replace Stun with Thermite. The recoil reduction lets you plant your feet and mow down enemies with rapid fire weapons, always handy with HMG.
>>495514170Depends on what you're fighting-Also it's not sway, it stops your weapon drag. So I can take shit like the jar against bugs and snap fire that thing at hunters at any moment.Which is real big. Specially with those heavy ass support weapons like AC, HMG, Commando.
>>495511307>It has always been goodI assure you anon it has not "always been good".
>>495514182mash F
anyone know if the extended stim duration from medic armor applies to the pistol?
>>495514378nta but yes it has. From launch everyone who know their shit about boosters was aware the heart is the one you pick first, even over stam and muscle.
>>495514379Might try.Been wondering what you're supposed to do. Diving won't safe you, melee sometimes helps.
>>495514378it was always good, it slightly underperformed because of low use countit's not significantly better now than it was before, damage buff was negligible
>>495511415>It destroys fabs now, and can hard pen everything in the gameIt's been able to do this for months anon, it's just become a lot better against heavy enemy units because the near global armor level reduction has functionally doubled its damage output against heavily armored units since previously it matched those armor values, now it exceeds them.
>>495514418From what I’ve heard it does, as long as the shooter wears medic armor. The booster works too
>Pick supply pack for once>Everytime i give ammo to some guy he says "oh dats hot, dats hot" over the micDon't know if i'm built to be a support slut.

>>495514454Anon we're talking about Strafing Run. >>495514484They increased armor pen from 4 > 5 which doubled the damage against medium armor enemies and enabled you to damage heavy armor enemies. They also increased the numbers of charges per refresh. Now that heavy armor units had their armor decreased it'll now deal double damage to those units. It vastly dwarfs launch Strafing Run.

>>495514906I'd say you should have bought at least two warbonds by now.
Do the HMG emplacements ever vanish like sentries? On the missions where we pass back and forth near extraction multiple times I consider just throwing 3 or 4 HMG emplacements on it for when we do extract but am never sure if it would be a waste or not.
>>495515106I hate how they shoot drop ships and aggro patrols. But god they feel great just raining hell down on camps.

>>495516102pub aids, it's a bug
>>495514484Before its first buff (meaning, at launch) it was dogshit.>only medium armor pen>shit number of usesIt was only handy for instant fire support against chaff, and only if they were standing in a straight line. A MMG could pretty much do what it did.The only reason it's good now is because it just so happened to have enough armor pen from the previous buff to fall into the "it can damage heavy units so we're giving it more damage to compensate for heavy units' HP increasing" category. The explosions from the rounds aren't going to penetrate shit against heavy enemies since they're only AP3, and the individual projectile damage still isn't enough to reliably crack heavy unit armor (they need thousands of damage, whereas Eagle Strafing deals hundreds), all the most recent buff did was make it even stronger against medium-sized enemies. Hell, I would argue that Orbital Gatling benefitted more from this buff than Eagle Strafing.>>495514906The default warbond gives you 750 SC for fully completing it, so unless you spent some of that on Superstore armor you should have gotten at least 300 through regular play to buy a warbond.That being said, getting SC through regular play is kind of a crapshoot. I've always tried to explore every possible POI every mission, and in my early playing I would average out at about 10-20 SC per mission depending on how much my teammates were also exploring and if I found a lucky 100 SC. But really, if you value your time, don't try to farm for SC, just buy it to access the warbonds. You might say a $20 microtransaction is expensive, but honestly $20 isn't a huge amount of money if you have employment, and moreso post-inflation.

>>495516251Viper Commandos for the armors probably, assuming you want to spend SC on warbonds instead of superstore armors.
>>495517378Supply BackpackShield RelayHMG EmplacementEagle Smoke :^)
>>495517378EMS mortar/strike.
>>495516251Viper Commandos has the booster and Peak Physique, that's pretty much it. Lib Carbine is fun but you aren't missing anything if you already have access to the Knight. Test of Conviction is great though.Freedom's Flame isn't dogshit anymore now that the flamethrowers are useful. Cookout is basically a better Breaker Incendiary but not worth breaking the bank for. Otherwise, fire-resistant armor is the only reason to get the warbond, though Thoracic Collision Exultation Maneuver is also pretty good.Chemical Agents is literally brand new, but everyone says that the Gas Grenade is the only good thing unless you really want the Stim Pistol.
>>495516559so that didnt work.one file failed to verify and got re downloaded, but that didnt fix it, still no one joined after 10 minutes.i verified again and a second time it said one file failed to verify and was redownloaded, that still didnt fix it.a THIRD time I verified and the same shit happened.it seems launching the game at all is fucking up this file and making it so no one can join my lobbies. COOL.
>>495518090that one file is part of the anti-cheat. verifying files is pure cope
>>495483448dont they have a few other "concord mordern audience" games in the pipeline thats already 3+years and millions in the hole as well.california was a mistake for sony. half a good year of profits at the start of ps4 era leeching off the ps3 endgame success, then straight into the aids infested bedrock of mordernday HR and movie game walking bullshit till they hit ps6 and bankruptcy
>>495518594The upcoming one is fairgames, but its looking like the exact same slop that made concord fail. Sony said its testing well "internally" but they said the same thing about concord.
Heavy armor feels a bit too slow against the Bugs, so should I just go all the way to Light?
>>495516785Honestly they could make Part 2s and so on to already established warbonds.So lets say, purely as an example, Polar Patriots gets Part 2.>Cryo grenades>Cryo based stratagems>Frost resistant armor for the new cryo effect>White recolors for pods, pelican, mechPP Part 2 costs 750 SC if you own PP Part 1 or 1000 SC if you dont. But you can buy both PP warbonds for 1000 SC equivalent of money.Same if PP Part 3 releases, 750 SC if you own both prior PP releases but you can buy all three for 1500 SC equivalent of money.
>zero reinforcement left>A guard dog kills us all by detonating a hellbombI can't even be mad
>>495519853Go medium, you'll still be able to outrun most bugs but can be afforded to make a mistake here and there.Learn which bugs to prioritize that can actually catch you.With light there are still some bugs you cannot outrun and if you get caught, you are dead near instantly.Unironically the default padded 150 medium armor is one of the best on both fronts.
>>495515176I knew bugdivers were idiots but not to this extent
>>495517380>Viper Commandos for the armorsEnjoy your increased sway lmaoSwedes can't do anything right, they will never fix armors

>>495518090ok so I figured it out. I had one mission left in my operation from yesterday that I was trying to launch. the planet had been liberated overnight, which I guess means literally no one can join the mission anymore despite it letting me select and play it.

>>495531384Eagle strafing is good on bugs and alright on bots (might need to try it more there). The fact its a fast call in to kill behemoths is good enough.

>>495534860feels really good against bots now. bout half a mag into the backpack of a sheild dev takes it down. or just a few headshots.
>>495534860It's viable against, but the DCS and Adjudicator are probably strictly superior. Ease of handeling is its biggest upside.
>>495534489Nah, I stay on 6 and 7>>495534737Makes sense
>>4955344634chink ate my post, so I'll make it short: Dominator, DCS
Give me purifier with 30% more damage and continuous fire mode and I'm good.
>>495534973>>495534975I'll give it a try, adjucator always feels like it has a bit to much recoil for a gun needing 2(?) headshots on devs and if i remember correctly lib pen has a pretty nice scope aswell.How many headshots does lib pen need against devs and how consistent is it at getting them?

Is the rocket sentry any good outside of eradication/holdout missions? I last used it before it was buffed (so a long time ago) and all it did was whiff it's shots and die instantly
>>495537326Works OK against bots if you position it smartly and not in the open to get sniped by rockets, it's basically your own personal rocket dev. Shoots and hits way more than before, but is still vastly outclassed by the AC turret for basically anything it does.
>>495537326Yes.It's probably even better with all the enemies having less armor now
>>495535465I think it's 3? not sure exactly cause with the bigger mag it has than the adjucator you can just spray at their faces and it works out. even if you miss their face you'll kill em eventually cause it's still doing damage. and yeah, the scope is really nice.

>>495537326Mind that it has an aggro range of around 200 meters or so, so you can set it pretty far back and it'll still put out damage.
