Nap Edition>Previous>>495791439>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 17: 1.001.100 Patch https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/7147864422081646859Sept 18: 1.001.101 Hotfix https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4679892274002466936Sept 19: Chemical Agents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnHr4URSXisSept 24: 1.001.102 Patch https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4679892274020252124>CURRENT WARBONDSept 19: Chemical Agents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnHr4URSXis

Have you remembered the Creek today?
>>495868263I remember how creekcoons failed their own mo and cried hard enough for a do over, to the point they got a crybaby cape

Ah yes, another bot MO timeloop.

>>495869548>>it's because of bugdiversIt's gonna be this one.
>>495869548It's because botdivers are shit
>>495869548It's bugdivers and joel, every time without fail. There is no cope.>bugnigger NPCs never move and need to play their easy mode because "well I'm having fun.. on the worst planet in the galaxy on d5">"Joel" actually seems to believe they'll either move over and help or log off and not suck all the liberation points into the void
>>495869548It's because no one wants to play the exact same faction in the same exact planet for 5 days let alone the past MONTH we've been trying to take Gayllivare
>>495869402It's the most fun for me. A good mix of intensity to unwind with after work, it just usually houses the MOST RETARDED pubs in history

It just makes no sense. What's the point of this larp?Just to exist, and in his existence cause people to react to him? Even negatively?

>>495871507way too specific on your part. one thing i am not is depressed. being depressed is for faggots. i have way too much to live for
Hmm, suddently I don't see people bring the incenary breaker to the bot front anymore, what change ?
>>495868514Update: in my next game after crashing the main objective was bugged and I wasted another 25 minutes
>>495872003meta chuds have moved on to the crossbow
>>495869213>Returning to play because of the update>Bots, forgot what dive>Laser cannon rips through everything>2 SPEARS>1 Autocannon>Pick up a spare spear backpack and start reloading>Dropships are instantly downed, bunkers are raped, switch to autocannon backpack at extract>Teammate starts popping berserker heads with the ACNow Im gonna be chasing this dragon until Arrowhead shits the bed and schizo nerfs everything because 'why are players only using guns that work?'
>>495870429I joined something like that today. It was Command Bunker so I just solo speedran that shit until extraction where I was so tired I just started tagging enemies so the shitters could be useful
>>495871896>being depressed is for faggotsBased and true
>>495872003People brought the incel breaker to fucking BOTS?
>>495872170Yes, before the nerf.

>>495872316Even pre nerf there were way better options.
>swiggers lower headshot damage because players don't like sudden burst damage>swiggers up all damage so nearly all hits are sudden burst damage>headshots still are sudden burst damage>limbs also cripple at the slightest hitbravo well done
Why do I have to reverify every fucking time now? What did they break?

>>495871869hey nowthe sam went fineit was the GIGAarty that broke the camel's back
How long until they nerf the crossbow?It seems really good against bots, can take out groups of light bots and two-shot the bigger ones with medium armor
>>495872782I buy it. I don't believe you either and I think he's right when he says you're projecting.
>>495873381samefagging shouldn't be so obvious, gunman.
>>495872054Laser Cannon really fucks after the update. It’s a bit harder to see if you’re hitting hulk heads and it’s a lot worse against cannon towers, but it’s way better against devs and troopers while no longer feeling useless against berserkers. Plus it takes care of rocket chickens and gunships very quickly. Recoil and fire changes for it were huge.
>>495873221frankly im thinking of retiring it and going back to the diligence counter sniper, the medium armor penetrator. Its inaccurate as hell when you're moving, and i killed myself more than once shooting from cover because the xbow bolt hit a pixel of ground i was covering behind.

>>495877434That's what you get for not playing with hdg
>>495877375It's still worse than the autocannon mech in basically every regard, though, so I'm not sure what your point is. It works, just like all the guns and all the strats work, but some are still outclassed by others. It was great when it was all we had, and when the autocannon one sucked ass, but now it's just "the less good one".

7 is the comfiest difficulty. Enough intensity to be fun, but not so much that you have to sweat and get angry with other players.I want them to put in two more difficulties, but actually make them near impossible and completely legitimately unfair, just to teach the retarded ADHD riddled community that the maximum difficulty should be considered an actual challenge, one you are not entitled or even likely to win, rather than merely the baseline.
>>495881187drop the pubi'm gonna crash your lobby
>>495881270the bitching would be apocalyptic if the power fantasy ego trippers wouldn't be able to beat them regularly
I just wanted the flamethrower to function properly bros. Please tell me they know about it now and will DEFINITELY fix it correctly NEXT patch. Maybe I should suffer on leddit to get some attention...(They fix the damage but for some reason cut the range in half instead. Alexus will have his blood money.)
>>495881270>I want them to put in two more difficulties, but actually make them near impossible and completely legitimately unfair, just to teach the retarded ADHD riddled community that the maximum difficulty should be considered an actual challenge, one you are not entitled or even likely to win, rather than merely the baseline.That's just shit game design retard boy. Games are meant to be fun, hard difficulties are meant to be winnable, but difficult. Making shit that doesn't work just as a fuck you to players means you have the same IQ as brazillian monkies making free kaizo tier mods on game banana.

>diligence CS one-shots medium bots in the headI didn't know this
>>495883692it always did
>>495873946This. Ive always loved the Laser cannon, and even more now. A bobbing and weaving Hulk is still a challenge, but with RR being meta, they usually get rekt first on most engagements from the team.The real value add for the LC is the devastator / chicken / gunship cleanup on d10. Its range is near infinite so its amazing in wide open. Also works wonders on extracts where time runs out due to infinite ammo.Pairs really well with Adjudicator on bots as that primary totally fucks on close quarters, the area where LC is weak.
>>495883692Normal Diligence does that too
>>495877439just don't be a pussy about it and you'll be fineee
>>495870641>he is unironically putting in the effort to change md5'sthe absolute state. nigga is shaking in his boots at the thought of being filtered
>>495884031No it doesn't.
>>495884031Yeah I was running the DCS earlier and I kept thinking the normal Diligence is straight up better at what I wanted to do now
>>495885290Scratch that, I thought the original post was about Devastators.
>>495885290yes, it does. 165 damage x 0.65 for the partial penetration modifier = 107 damage. devastator heads have 100 HP.
>>495885441But it one-shots Devs to the head too
>>495885068the price you pay for attention in any formhe's been posting the same shit for years and never got any attention until hd2, must be refreshing for him. I think being deprived of them now would send him over the edge.
>>495885304I find difficult to make a decision. CS gets higher damage and medium pen, but it has a lower magazine and worse stability. The normal Diligence being able to one-tap bots if you have the accuracy is nice but the scope is shit.
Grim.
>>495885068see u again next in the next threads ;)i told you, man. this is what happens when you sperg out and tell people you're filtering them. you gotta keep a clear head and think about things like that
>>495885803lmfao i bet you felt really cool typing that out, jesus christ
Ok so how is the MMG against bots now? Especially with the HMG stealth nerf being revealed.
>>495886015>Ok so how is the MMG against bots now?completely and totally unchanged
>>495886015eeh
>>495885970i am. i'm THE HERO OF THE FEDERATION
>>495886015Decent against everything, get filtered by hulks and especially heavy devs as the shield flinch cucks you and rapes you in the higher difficuties where they just replace the base devs. You are to prone and put the gun on max rpm and simply click in rapid succession to have kinda sorta better killing time than the railgun in my experience.
>>495869548>>it's because bots aren't funThis has never been more true than now.
>>495886181Chad>>495885970Virgin complainer at his feet.
>>495886015HMG but even lower damage and no penetration
>>495881270I want modifiers that increase chaff amounts so I actually have a use for some of these huge chaff clearing stratagems. I shouldn't have to raise the "difficulty" to get more stuff to kill, I don't want more challenge I want the option of less downtime and higher is the only thing that gives you that right now. You can go down but it gets boring pretty fast, and if you go up you start feeling railroaded into certain load outs because they just replace spawns with higher tier spawns. Though this patch is a lot better in that regard. Some of us are literally only raising it because there's too much downtime on lower, not because I want more challenge. Sweats will never understand.A hi-intensity modifier like sharttide has would be perfect. Then you can play on whatever difficulty is perfect for you without feeling like you have to go higher.
>>495886404lol wutbots have never been more fun than nowunless you're one of those fags crying about lack of challenge
>>495886579You can bring literally every single stratagem and weapon to bugs now, bots are super cucked in loadout variety in comparison
>>495886367So I should just go railgun huh. I was having fun with it before when it was shit, and a tendy primary. I haven't played bots in so long though.
>>495886710No, you're just a cuck.
>>495869548Defense is fucking kino with the RR changes. >W-what about the smok-It's. Kino.
>>495886710you just suck, anonyou can bring anything to bots and you'll do fine
>>495869548It's always the same reason, because it's always true
>>495886807>Throw Cluster bombs at bugs>x53, meaningful enemies like Hunters and Breach Callers decimated>Throw Cluster bombs at bots>x4, somehow even the normal ass MG Raiders and Commissars survivedThis with 90% of the stratagems
>>495887028is this post ironic?
>>495886887Still yet to see someone with an Arc Thrower, Flamethrower or an Airburst Rocket Launcher on bots
>>495886710What stratagems can't you bring to bots but can bring to bugs?Flamethrower and the gas weapon and dog sug equally hard on both.Atleast bots get a use out of the comfy bubble.
>>495887191>Still yet to see someone with an Arc Throwersaw plenty of it in hdg lobbies, usually paired with the jump pack>flamethrowerlol>airburstI've run it a lot before the patch, it was fine
>>495884009I’ve been pairing in with PP, purifier, or xbow before I got bored of it. LC ends up being used as a primary while the others come out for staggering large groups mostly
>>495887191>Still yet to see someone with an Arc Thrower on botsarc thrower is my go to anti-bot weapon. the ability t instantly shut down conga lines of hulk and heavy devastators makes it SSSS tier
>you can crawl into the fabricator ventsbugshitters btfo once again
>>495886741Yep, because the thing with the railgun is that you minimize the amount of time you expose yourself to enemy fire, if you take the mg you'd take chip damage that puts you in health thresholds that gets you killed more later on in the game. I need to check if it fucks tanks better than the railgun though.
>>495887201Tesla Tower, Gatling Sentry, Napalm Airstrike, Stalwart, MMG, MinesStraight up unusable on bots, while decent or even good on bugs
>>495887640don't join my aurics
>>495886015>HMG stealth nerfHow many times do we have to do this? There are virtually no enemies with 3 armor or lower that have any body parts that have both large amounts of HP and the durability to survive the HMG. Anything with 4 armor or higher is a heavy that you're supposed to use anti-tank weaponry to kill. Besides which, the penetration match damage getting buffed from 50% to 65% more than cancels that out when it comes to shooting Hulk eyes.
>>495887707Just don't be a bitch and it'll be fine.
>>495887640>mmg>stalwartUsable, maybe not as good as on bugs, but usable.>tesla tower>gatling sentryHaven't tried them but have seen anons use them pretty decently on bots.>napalm airstrikeMaybe.>mines....
>>495887732Maybe they should fucking give it proper MG properties then instead of an awkward high damage high pen DMR that has full auto. You can't make a weapon be mediocre at everything and then nerf it and expect people to be fine with it.
>>495887732>the penetration match damage getting buffed from 50% to 65% more than cancels that out when it comes to shooting Hulk eyes.This is true. It's still 4 shots to kill a hulk with eye shots even with the durable damage nerf. Body shots got worse by only 3 more shots required, and heatsink is only 2 more shots required. If it feels like it's way worse it's purely and simply because the body being 4 armour as well now makes it harder to tell when you're actually hitting the eye or the body.>There are virtually no enemies with 3 armor or lower that have any body parts that have both large amounts of HP and the durability to survive the HMGThe only one you can point to is the rear of tank turrets, and even then it's 30 shots now vs 21 shots if the HMG still had 50 durable damage. Cannon towers would be the same but they don't have the same 2x damage modifier tank turrets have for some reason, and that effects all weapons equally so it's not just an HMG issue.
>>495887732>Like +15 more damage (irrelevant) on Hulks>While every other AP4 support weapon is insanely better at killing Hulks>Shittier on everything elseIt's a nerf
>>495869548I'm done with the new warbond which means there are no rewards for me in completing MOs so I'll just play either faction on planets that I like. I don't read MOs, not POs either, never even look at liberation/defense markers, and any unlocks that are locked behind MO success will release eventually anyway, so waiting for them is the smart move. tl;dr MOs are irrelevant.
>>495885773the youtubers are calling the shots and telling everyone what to do now, literally copypasting the ordersI'll do the opposite just to spite them

>>495879568your meds, sir
>>495892636it is somewhat a mystery they made the DMRs have their own unique caliber that's bigger than the Liberator/Stalwart intermediate cartridge and the Adjudicator/MG-43 full caliber, but smaller than HMG/HMR caliber. I guess they were trying to invoke the .338 Lapua or 9.3x64mm Brenneke.A better and more plausible question is, when do we get a bigger MG-43 firing DCS bullets and doing so more controllably than the HMG?
>>495892429Yes anon, whenever a defense fails the planet starts at 50% liberation, so it's easier to retake. Don't tell me you don't know how the mechanic works.
Is it just me or does the grenade launcher just fill out the niche of the light to medium machine guns better?

>>495896317Sounds like DCS vs. bots
>>495896437sure, but 9/10 times you'd still be responded to via text chat
>>495896317You can do the same with Walking Barrage on bots
>>495896523I’m cool with that
>>495893370Not really. Grenade Launcher is bad for killing individual enemies since you only ever want to be shooting at groups. Stock MG can dispatch individuals very efficiently or ones that are spread far apart where a single grenade couldn't hit both. It's also a lot easier to hit distant targets with the stock MG than with GL.
>>495896437Sure, I already have voice chat volume set to 0 so it doesn't bother me
>>495896437Despite fags pretending to be picky about who may join their lobby ITT, in reality, we will accept the literal bottom of the barrel-tier players as long there's people from here joining, hell, you can die 19 times and can still come back the next day.

>>495905392Arc Thrower trivializes chaff of every variety so much it's not even fucking funny. It's balanced by the fact that 99% of the player base is a crayon snorting retard when it comes to this thing. Either they don't know that you have to ARC it yes. ARC. Like it it has drop off, and that you need to stay out of one another's fire lane the moment that thing starts going off. It also makes Hulks look flat out stupid. They go from WAAAGH! to "Nyoro~n :3c" as soon as they start getting hit. Arc makes Hulks the least dangerous unit on the bot front. Troopers and commissars are more dangerous, because they might get a stray round off before you zap them. Or a Commissar may stab you in the back from nowhere.I'm surprised you didn't take Tesla Towers and throw them around like snowballs if you were all wearing arc armor. Not like you needed to.

The DCS is the best primary for bots, but diligence is now a very close second thanks to its damage buff and superior handling.>1shots little shits>1shot dev heads and the scope is decent>1shot side missiles on at-st's>1shot berk head and kills in a handful of body shotsPair it with AC or LC and you have a very good combo just like AC/LC with DCS. It's similar, just slightly worse but the better handling and ammo count makes it -feel- better to play.
>>495908172a guy in that kind of state, playing helldivers 2, is very likely an improvement in his quality of life, over whatever the fuck he was doing in his spare time before.A fuckin lawn chair for his living room? i mean, i have one, i sit in it while watching movies on the big screen, because i dont wanna spend 2 grand plus on decent furniture...

Now that HMG is dead, what's the durable damage on the MG? Considering it has more ammo and going max RPM with it is actually viable it might be stronger at killing heavy bots with heatsink shots.
I miss it bros (i am not the flutenigger)

>>495908907>helldiver has a seizure upon witnessing bile titan join the space program
>>495908669It just barely does enough damage to headcap Devastators, which can be nice. Unfortunately that's the only good thing about it, you can't do shit against Rocket Striders and it takes ten shots to a Hulk's heat sinks to destroy it.I would say it's better against bugs because it does enough damage to one-shot small bugs. But the unfortunate truth is that even against bugs it's not that good because you need volume of fire at higher difficulties. It remains in the unfortunate position of being a stepping stone to the DCS which is just a pure upgrade in everything but mag size.

With the liberator concussive can you stun an enemy bot long enough to switch to your support weapon?That was always what was disappointing about it

>>495909081>you can't do shit against Rocket Stridersbro just shoot the rockets
Every weapon that requires you to focus on an enemy for a long period of time is bad. Examples: Scythe, Torcher, Dagger, Laser cannon, Flamethrower, Lib. Concussive, Sterilizer, QuasarI don't get why they think is good design. The only gun that works is the HMGe, but that thing shits out damage. You could double the damage on all of those and barely make them worth a fuck.
>>495910563you can't bring RR + AC
>>495909286I know a less gay method of stopping stalkers and berserkers, it's called killing them.
>>495910640Oh I wasn't using it against dropships, that thing was gone because of the 380 at extraction. I was trying to use my Recoilless but the 380 forced me into a position where I couldn't see the dropships landing to shoot them, and the patrols approaching that I wanted to shoot with the HMG Emplacement were attacking us too.Shit was just a mess.
Is there anything more cucked than a support weapon that relies on an ally killing things for you?
>>495910682you're the kind of special player that only ever takes 4 STAB attack moves in pokemon aren't you

>>495911508Same man I wanted to get the kodiak but ended up not bothering with the whole warbond because the colour was too light for any helmet I liked the look of.
When can we buy the pre-order armors? This October liberty day? I have money and will pay for them directly, I don't wanna hear any excuses as to why i can't have them.
>>495911967You can't have them because they were only available for people who pre-ordered. Don't like it? Invent a time machine.

>>495912102Heavies are always the real problem, and the RR is simply the best for killing heavies. Spear is a contender but the lower ammo and forced lock-on make it a bit worse.There's also really only the 500kg and the orbital railcannon left for red stratagems that deal with heavies, the OPS and airstrike are now pretty bad for that.Well, and termites. The damage is great but it gives the enemy like 10 seconds to fuck your mouth before it blows up.
>>495912701why is OPS and airstrike bad now?
i want to play for the MO. which bot planet should i do?
>>495912701>Rail cannon rec over OPSWhat in the fuck
>>495912778Heavies got a huge health buffs, and OPS/airstrike didn't get a damage buff to compensate.>>495912829At least it kills whatever it hits, OPS will struggle to do even that.But honestly the 500kg is the only decent anti-heavy red right now.

>>495911967yeah, I didn't trust swedes to not fuck it up so I didn't preorderkinda sadbut that's the whole point of preorder content, I'm more surprised they don't release similar stuff as non-exclusive like everyone else does, seems like blue palette is reserved for preorders

>>495913134Laser dog, Cookout, GL pistol, gas grenades, armor of your choice Then fill your remaining strat slots for heavy killing of your preference
>>495912928>OPS/airstrike didn't get a damage buff to compensate.Except they did. OPS went from 450 on the projectile to 3500, EAS went from 500 damage at AP5 on the bomb to 1500 AP7.
taking out those whorish scanner towers with an OPS is so satisfying>>495913740can you take out jammers with the OPS after the buffs? It's a pretty niche case but I can imagine having trouble getting the hellbomb down as you're being swarmed, throwing an OPS would be really convenient

>Guerilla Gorilla in SUPER STORE nowwow thanks
>>495912102If you take the RR you can now afford to play with all the other stratagems, which means more funWhen everything was weak I felt like I always had to take 500kg and eagle air strikeNow since the RR is so good at antitank, you can take three chaff clear stratagems if you wantAgainst bots the RR is really good because you can blast fabricators from any angle across the map, and decent players can destroy one dropship with its troopsA few hours ago there were two guys with RRs on the team and bot drops on D9 were more than manageable
>>495912946no, the OPS can one shot with a headshot

>>495912102>eliminate requirement of taking a dedicated anti-heavy stratagem (25% of loadout)>suddenly loadout diversity increases across the boardRR is extremely fun, but the biggest selling point is that you can afford to take whatever you want on the side. There's no longer a requirement of "I need OPS to kill bile titans" or "I need air strikes for striders." When 1-2 teammates can handle all the heavies, it allows the rest of the team to breathe and diversify into other loadouts. It makes specialization feel a lot more real, the same way it did on D9 bugs pre-EoF. Dedicated SPEAR/flamethrower units have just been replaced by dedicated RR/RG units. The RR meta is making bugs pretty boring, but bots is more fun now than it's been in months.

The xbow is just a mini ac at this point right?
>>495916189you are talking to a railcannon advocate, and as you might have seen earlier he loves being a disingenuous faggot so save your keystrokes
>>495915796HMG got nerfed into obscurity, so your options are MMG or Stalwart. Stalwart is just a liberator with a 250 round mag, and MMG is an AP3 primary replacement which will struggle on either side against heavies.
>>495916020yes, both RG and AMR is just higher output than AC plus easier to use.even most durable parts, the AC suffers because of its shitass breakpoint, despite having a 100% durable conversionplus most of its damage is aoe explosive, which means it can "miss"not to mention the abysmal aiming turn speed
>>495916189the railcannon guy is retarded but the OPS is also just not performing anymorehave you tried it on higher difficulties? it just doesn't handle heavies or crowds the way it used to

>>495923261Lib pen
>>495923560I heard somewhere that it actually gets rounded down to zero, but I wanted to ask here since it sounded pretty dumbon the other hand, diving towards enemies while firing rockets seems really dumb but that was a thing
>>495923560>>495923724I forgot to say, I got roasted by a hulk earlier while wearing heavy armor and I could basically just walk it off, so I was wondering if the armor was helping me there too
>>495919470Teamreloading is one of the most fun co-operative mechanics I've come across. Of course it's rather janky, but the basic concept works well enough. Teaming up to blast an entire wave of dropships or gunships feels so fucking great.They should bank harder on teamreloading as central gameplay mechanic. Co-operation is the glue that keeps us together.
>>495923724>>495923461Vitality + gas armor rounds gas damage down to 0.This happens with enemies too btw, in the sense that they'll appear gassed, while taking exactly 0 damage, but suffering the gas schizophrenia status.
>>495924020if they let you reload from the gunner's backpack it would be such a nice mechanic. I'd hop on my friend's back whenever we got a breach or something, but nope, you gotta carry their pack so they're useless whenever you're moving around
>>495923869Hulk's fire damage has been nerfed hard. It used to be instant death, but now the DoT barely tickles. As long as you don't get caught in the flamestream itself, that is.
>>495924143Yeah, that's the one big thing that'd need to change ASAP. Team reloading should always be preferable to playing solo when armor is around. This offsets the huge risk of both of you getting oneshot by explosions instead of just one.There's also other smaller issues, like only being able to teamreload from righthand side, docking range being too short and your character getting disconnected too easily with slightest lag or incline. Oh and sometimes it bugs out so you cannot dock at all. However these are all minor issues that should be easy to fix. My hidden dream is being able to use secondary weapon as team reloader when not actively reloading. It's janky as fuck to constantly disconnect, fire a single shot and reconnect just because of a single trash mob
>>495924020Cringe, they should give us better ways to discretely team kill bad players. Hogging supply pack to yourself when I have no stims and a sliver of health? Team kill. Trigger bot drop and run away? Team kill. Being an ungrateful sample gremlin on D10 bots? Team kill. Didn't use your fucking RR to kill the factory strider that was harrassing me? Team kill. I'll team kill you with melee. I'll team kill you with my senator. I'll team kill you with my grenade pistol from across the map. I'll team kill you with orbitals. I'll team kill you with napalm. I'll team kill you with the environment. And if I see you again, I team kill on sight.
>>495924420>using your pistol to fend off single trash while reloadingbretty sick
>>495924435>Discreetly teamkillYou're the blackest of blacks. Can't communicate your needs, so you chimp out and then get scared you might get chimped back. Grow some balls and teamkill with confidence, shitter.

>>495924602I just want the game to feel good. Being able to kill couple marauders isn't gonna fuck with balance and you aren't clearing waves of devastators with pistol alone. It'd feel really good without being imbalanced. Hire me Arrowhead!
>>495924435uhhhhh factory strider this one

I've literally never seen a chinese player TK me, it's always some random american being a retard.
>>495924864Is this part of Swedish cultural heritage or something?>Release a game with great potential>Either fuck off or fuck about year or two>Realize your job is to work on the game, so start getting shit together after couple of years>The game is in good release state 2-3 years after launch, after all players and goodwill has been spent
>>495924932>chink shifting blame to cover it's own assI'm an Aussie, I know what I am talking about
>>495924932I've been TK'd by them, but normally they just suck at the game , die, and complain to each other in bugspeak while I do objectives solo.
>>495924932Same here. Bug people are unironically good teammates that mostly stick to the herd. Their skill may vary but at least they're essentially an extra drone hovering around. Americans have main character complex and get mad when 3 other players dont automatically follow their unspoken whims. Europeans are a total wildcard with really good players and abysmal amoebas.
>>495922295I bring 4x orbitals because the game doesnt have loadouts for armor+weapons+stratagems and its annoying to play
What is the Airburst launcher good for beside TK?
>>495925014Gotta make use of those mandatory 6 months off total a year.Dont lie, you would too.
>>495924932Yeah same, all the chinks I've seen are solid players, all the americans I see randomly kill me with explosives all the time.
>>495925014honestly dunno, I'm swedish and I have no clue how you can be as disconnected from your own product as they are. Darktide was just plain mediocre and people expected more, but helldivers was on a different level where it felt like they were actively trying to sabotage their own product while arguing in bad faith and lying endlessly and gaslighting their own fans
>>495925171>>495925280>>495924932>rye do amerricalns all pray badry? >not rike supeliol greatest china prayers!lmao>>495925035It's either that or shit stirrers.
>>495925223Killing a handful of trash enemies (if any).
>>495925223It's great for suicide too
>>495925223Absolutely fuckin nothing. Its also impossible to 'fix'. They cant just add a special multiplier for its damage vs flying enemies (or more accurately, dont have the programming skill to).The only thing they could do is more damage, but then it just becomes RR but with AoE.
>throw Thermite grenade at Charger>It bounces off his armorI've never been this upset.
>>495925520they could fix it by giving a delayed fuse and make the way it spreads the explosions better so it doesn't just do no damage when you hit some shit point blank
Mystery nigga
Pretty wild that there are more bot players now than bugs.>>495925552Hold it until the spikes pop out for a higher chance to stick, dummy.You might get super unlucky and only hit them with the handle and it'll just bounce off.
>>495923261Medium pen not required. Heavy dev arms are squishy, rocket dev pods have no armor, and hulk heatsinks get fucked with anything that has decent DPS. Only problem light AP has is against rocket chickens, but no primary should be used to fight them in any major numbers, IMO.
>>495925647That would require programming skill. The current version is literally just a RR rocket + multiple frags on detonation.
>diligence counter sniper>no sniper units in game
>>495925520Give it airburst sharpnels
>>495925223Haven't played it since the buffs but it cleaned up bot patrols pretty well and it was a gamble between wasting 5 seconds reloading or getting 20 kills on a bot drop.Also, the rest of your team fears you and that feels good.
>>495925552why does anything bounce in this fucking game, it should all stick. >>495925891those were the rocket troopers, be careful what you wish for buddy, those swedish jackass will give it to you.
>>495925520>AP4 on it's shrapnel and buff the shrapnel's damage (including durable)>add two selectable detonation modes>proximity, same as it is now>contact>contact detonation can crack armor but deal almost no damageThere, got it's own niche while still being somewhat useful against heavy armor.
>>495925950This is a great idea if it wouldn't absolutely crash the game with 100+ projectiles spawning at once.
>>495925223To assert dominance as a wild card and build infamy.Im either going to wipe out three hulks in one shot, or blow up the guy carrying all our samples and knocking them down a hole even though hes on the other side of the map.
>>495926074Give it just a handfull of airburst stuff
>>495926019>Never use contact>Only proximity >One shot striders, the ship it arrives on and half the drop ships around itBased
>>495925520>>495925647>>495925784The Airburst is so close to being alright. It clears an entire sector from everything smaller than a Charger. Its a great tool for instantly removing a pack of Bile Spewers or a drop of Striders+Devs. The main issues are detonation point and resulting spread. That and random detonations wiping out entire Helldiver squad.Just make the fucker be "LMB down = fire, LMB up = detonate" and the issues are solved. Now you have essentially more powerful and easily-aimed Eagle Airstrike support weapon. Removes everything non-heavy and damages heavies significantly. Also introduce 2-stage reload.
>>495890215Can you blame them for talking to blob retards in a way retards will be able to understand?
>>495921551>cephdivers to cephalopodsYou had one job!
>>495908287By 'arc' I mean to raise the reticule higher when dealing with terrain or obstruction.But you could be a cocksucker if you want. That's why restaurants have menus.
Here is how you actually fix airburst; remove it and give us an AC flak weapon.
>>495926234Think I worded that a bit weird.By contact detonation I meant that it would create a small explosion that can crack heavy armor before exploding into the shrapnel.That way you could shoot it past teammates without risking it exploding on them (hopefully).
>Throw sentry>Every chicken and hulk within a 150 meter radius immediately no scope it.
>>495926548>throw sentry>chargers and bile titans start moving towards the beacon before the sentry even hits the ground
>>495926548>throw it 300m out>can peacefully unload into everything My easiest runs are always when I bring 4 sentries. You fags gotta learn to stay away from your team/enemies, find a good high ground spot and allow your turrets to pepper everything from a distance. The AC and rocket have massive ranges, and the machine gun is great as a defensive for either of them.
>>495919628I started playing 2-3 months after the releaseI did buy 1k once
>>495925891Such a shame. Sniper bots would be a cool concept.>1000 HP, 2 armor full-body (except head which is 100 HP no armor)>armed with a railgun>giant glowing power source for said railgun to make it easy to find>massive detection radius>alerts enemies to team's location>calls bot drops instantly whenever available>railgun has a laser sight that strobes right before it fires, forcing you to dive to avoid itIt would be a spectacular D10 enemy, breaking up the constant addition of heavies.
>>495926548Sentries are essentially taunt distractions. Grab machine gun one since it has shortest cooldown and use it as a distraction to break up shitstorms and as a blobbing tool for your airstrikes. EMS mortar works great against bots though, just drop it in a ditch where it's protected from direct line of sight fire.
>>495926806>find a good high ground spotmaybe when they let me actualy place them in high spots and not bounce off
>>495926806The tiniest bush will block sentry line of sight and it will refuse to shoot. That even applies to mortars now when it didn't used to. If you go too far away, the sentries will just shoot at the patrols that spawned behind you, and every time you deploy a new sentry, it spawns a new patrol within 100 meters of your location.

Or it's just general arrogant stupidity (your people really are very arrogant sometimes, and that's compared to Americans). You guys make fun of our labor laws in the US, but we have a much easier time getting rid of troublesome employees.
>>495926987>he doesn't know
>>495926987I think snipers like that are a bit better in the first game since the divers had a downed state that they could be revived out of by teammates. That way you can get the whole, “Oh shit it’s a sniper! Jimmy’s been hit someone help his ass!” and then the team can split up between assisting the downed diver and counter sniping. Otherwise the only counterplay is to just dodge like we already do with cannon turrets, although I’m assuming your bot railgun sniper idea doesn’t come packaged with an explosive projectile that ragdolls its target. Could be ok though, would it be a one-hit-kill or no? I guess that’d depend on what armor the diver is wearing.

>>495926267>It clears an entire sector from everything smaller than a Chargeryes except for when it just... doesn't.You can have a pack of 30 trash mobs and shoot it right into the middle, see all the explosions go off, and not a single one takes any bit of damage. There is something horribly wrong with the hit detection on it.
>>4959275461-shotting the player is perfectly acceptable if diving is a 100% counter and the laser is clearly visible. It should basically be a QTE.
>>495927673Man. Maybe one day I'll be good enough to take down a suber base. :(
>>495927830Fuck that there's already enough shit one shotting you. Why would I want a sniper robot chicken.
>>495927790kek. true trueSame reason I use the eruptor, you never fuckin know what'll happen.
>>495927619maybe they figured that you have no value as a player, what with being an AMR user
>>495927425I don't really think that's it because I've never had a coworker that was a dipshit or otherwise needed that noose as a threat to be productive. If you work in the public sector there's definitely useless people since you literally cannot get fired, but working for private companies it's not so bad.I think it's just the entire industry in general. They don't play their own games. Very few devs do that. It's ridiculous how you could be making a product and not even test it yourself, but that's the level of quality we get now with videogames.
>>495927947It's not too bad if you have a squad running 380mm barrage. Two placed in the right spot will clear almost all the mobs and at least half the fabs. After that, you just run in spamming Eagles on every fab you can't kill from the outside and it's GG.
>>495928019I wouldn't have a problem with it if it didn't take ages to reload. If a shot malfunctions on most other guns, you just fire again, but with the airburst you have to wait and wait and wait for that perfect opportunity to fire, and you shoot, and it literally just forgets to deal damage, and then the opportunity is gone and you're rooted to the ground reloading.Think of that scene in the third(?) matrix movie, where the two black chicks are using the rocketlaunchers to defend zion, and they climb all the way up to get that perfect shot off on the drill, and they hit it, but then just nothing happens. Imagine the disappointment.

>>495921551orbital barrage incomingstand clear
>Can no longer 1 mag a factory strider with HMGWhat's the fucking point anymore. It's OVER.
>>495928571
>>495928018The difference is that those don't have an obvious counterplay. Most bot 1-shots are things you don't see. Artillery tanks, cannon turrets, and rocket chickens all kill you when you don't know they're attacking you. A big obvious laser beam of death has a clear counter play when it lets you know exactly when it's going to hit you, and tapping a button instantly saves you.
>>495922295Had a dude get EAT, Comm and RR to a def mission.There were no tanks.
>>495927151All of these are a skill issue.
>>495928851>there were no tanksbecause he shot down every dropship before they dropped any enemy at all
I cant fo D10s, because the large base is a total waste of time but fuckwits want to spend 10 minutes trying to do it then never taking the head/egg anyway and even if they did its still useless because we're all capped
Diving should either give you darksouls i-frames or at least break enemy attacks tracking you for the duration. As it is now its pretty useless for a game called HELLDIVERS
>>495928278A lot of people get into video game development who don't like video games, or do not like "Gamers" ie people who treat it like a hobby.There's also a toxic positivity problem in western culture at the moment, and it's what hurt Concord. According to one dev who spoke out, they were quite literally incapable of saying, "This is a bad idea, we shouldn't do this" at any time, to any thing.
>>495929220it does give you i-frames from explosives.not from bullets.
>>495928532nta but everything about the Eruptor is done better by the crossbow right now. If I need further range, then it's too far to engage, and I can just ignore it. I can only see it being useful for taking out bot fabs from a mile away, but why bother?
>>495927947But anon, you are good enough to take down a super base.
>>495929220Diving gives you:>larger ground coverage in a burst of movement>immediately stabilizes your sway and recoil to its max limit>gives you 70% bonus explosions resistanceIt's extremely strong and everything but useless.
>New Feature:Fellow helldivers can now teamload the Laser & Quasar cannon by blowing on them to cool them down faster.
>>495928354>380why120 does the same thing but it also does not kill you
>>495929513I am not. I got kicked from my first D8 bot match.I got overwhelmed and died 6 times.
>>495929836join hdg lobbiesyou'll get good by osmosis
>>495925014>>495925281An important part of this equation is that Fatshark and Arrowhead are basically the same studio. They were both trained by the Swedish guys who made the game engine which all FS and AH games have been made on. HD2 has been such a clusterfuck for them AH has announced they are ditching it for Unreal, so HD3 won't even be on this engine and just maybe they'll actually learn how to program properly instead of relying on a dead shitty swedish game engine no one has ever, ever liked.
>>495929298>>495929617Hmmm ok, didnt know about explosive resist, too bad there is no acid resist. If you try to dive away from the spit you usually end up getting fucked
>>495930007It was a weird match. We were doing well, and I was helping keep one kid alive who was doing poorly, too. We were watching each others backs, even if we weren't the best ever. We at least weren't dying. Managed to pull off the flag raising objective by ourselves without a death or an issue while the host fucked off somewhere to go plink with his AMR.Then he immediately kicks my little random bro for some unknown reason. Then later he kicked me for reinforcing him away from where he died. I guess my deaths were less important than him getting back to his toy immediately.
>>495929652>following your bro around so you can blow him between shotsFor all the stim pistol mains out there.
>>495930303>stingraynigga what? I had no idea it was even a game engine. A bunch of years ago a colleague and I were testing VR models and I used UE and he used Stingray, then we got the announcement that they are shutting down stingray.I'd never even have considered it a game engine
The stim pistol absolutely sucks ass, its near impossible to hit team mates. Why didn't we get the healing laser from HD1.
>>495930313They've reworked how bile spewers spit acid to make it less intuitive and punish you if you dive to the left or right, you should dive back, and not to the sides.Ideally, you never find yourself in range of their vomit, or if you do, you are stimming prehentively the moment you see them raise their heads.Diving backward usually kills you by:>launching you into enemies behind you>sending you into 5s+ ragdoll

>>495929652Also once every like 5 minutes you can piss on it to instantly cd it.
>>495930638It's easy to forget that, outside of Germany, Europeans don't know what technology is.

>>495929171You're a no fun allowed faggot playing the game for "efficiency" while everyone else wants to kill bots. You're the reason bugdivers make fun of us.
>>495909540HMG used to oneshot devs on the head, now it can't anymore.
>>495929663Wider coverage and denser damage within the radius. Ideally, one person can run both and clear out most of the outpost by themselves. Servo assisted armor helps a TON in not killing you.

>>495931578>macho man:Breaker, and then Senator Side arm.Or grenades for that specific problem.
Why does it feel like the games most embedded with drama and bullshit lately are all from Euros? Discounting Sony having the world's longest seizure.
Fall damage needs to fixed. It's absurd to lose half your health by dropping off a 5ft ledge yet you can be ragdolled of a higher ledge, land on your face, and only take like 10%. He'll you even have a 50/50 chance of not dying after being ragdolled 200ft in the air across the map.
It's always americans that pull out random drama, and somehow it's always euros' fault.
>>495931717>>495931729>>495931739>>495931747thank you. will try
>>495931565Ok? When attacking a base, you want to touch as much shit with explosions as possible. Specifically fabricators. 120mm doesn't reach out as far, and the explosions don't have as much range, meaning you kill less fabricators in the 100m+ diameter of the base. The goal is widespread damage, not killing the mobs, which the 10 fabricators replenish very quickly.
You know it's over when this happens

>>495885773IDK how people prefer Gaellivare. The huge trees of Clasa are far more convenient - they serve as good cover and can be used to funnel enemies. Smaller trees on Gaellivare are useless as cover and make it very difficult to spot bots.I actually really enjoy the Clasa type biome.

>>495936308Bullshit. Even if they are standing and you account for drop the spread alone will make you miss 9/10 shots at that distance.
>>495931919alright I'm back. I ended up preferring the RR with the DCS (because armor pen, long range, good scope, *and* it stuns?) and grenade pistol (for emergencies). And the RR is just... absolutely broken. Heavies? You just fucking delete them. Chaff? Can be annoying but you mostly just pick them off with DCS or use one of your *three* stratagem slots. The RR is essentially broken and beyond meta, I feel like I'm cheating. Nothing is even close. AH is definitely going to nerf it. If you have not tried this weapon, you really should. It's actually broken
>>495936387It's not like Clasa is even a real option. We're being railroaded as usual.
>>495885773it's fucking over fellow chuddivers
>>495936408Nah, I feather the shots accounting for the player's psychology based on 16 different archetypes of people, using the MBTI as reference points, account the projectile's velocity and hit radius of the stim, build an accurate 3d map I can rotate in my head I can navigate as the shots, predict 10 different shots in under a second, pick the most likely to hit and land my shots somewhat easily and reliably with an accuracy of 66.67%

>>495919628Yes, for I am a paypig.
>>495932854GGs orangefriends, and keep spamming that stimgun
>>495919628No, but I did mistakenly use them on armor. I hadnn't realized that warbonds had to be bought and thought they needed to be unlocked through gameplay, so my first near 1K SC was spent on bullshit.
