Tha Truth Edition>Previous>>499543516>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/https://helldiverstrainingmanual.com/https://helldiverscompanion.com/https://helldivers.io/>NEWSOct 31: Truth Enforcers Warbond https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4550416955418345551Sep 17: 60-Day Patch 1 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/7147864422081646859Oct 15: 60-Day Patch 2 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/7291982050853715743>CURRENT WARBONDOct 31: Truth Enforcers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m053YyNixug
First for fuck sweden
My honest reaction.
I think the booster is neat. Nice to get some space when a Bile Titan is breathing down your neck.
I kinda want the new warbond just for the head empty no thoughts title.
Medium pen (speculation) smg sounds nice. Would work well with the ballistic shield. Rocket striders are still going to ownzone you when they hit the shield though.
>>499647484did they accidentally use the same helmet concept art twice?
>>499648090>accidentallyPlease anon take a good look at the armor. They're reused quite a few already, sometimes with modifications, sometimes just a recolor.
>spent my 1000 SC on polar patriots yesterday
buying it for the title and the player cards
>>499647484Uh...are we the bad guys?
>>499647768Kino armor. Hope the SMG is based.
>new warbound coming Oct 31st>5 days after liberty day>free warbound gives 700 super sheckels>no way in hell sony would let AH release a new warbound at 70% off>no Liberty day free warbound with HD1 stuffAt least we got some new chuddiver fashion
>>499648301It's really noticable if you mod stuff. Like so much armor uses the base armor look. It's kinda cool though
>>499648313Not if we win the war. :)>>499648349You cannot even write warbond properly and you're a retard. We're gonna get free shit on liberty day, just not the usual warbond stuff.
>>499647768That's so fucking kino I will never use another victory pose ever again>at ease + victory screen bug
>>499648448we're only getting the bolt action rifle and 1 armor setmy only hope is that the rifle gets good AP
steam://joinlobby/553850/109775244667392867/76561198993299329bots 10
>>499648389I really like that they keep the armour 'standardised' but modified for different roles. Like why the fuck would you completely redesign something like armor?
>>4996486902/4
The armors look great hope they don't have a useless passive(the passives will be useless)
>>499649376retard
>kino armor>kino emote>kino title>best boostan in ages>best armor passive in ages>best paint colors yet>anal rape primaries>cool secondaryOh no no no no no poopoo patriots, we have been dethroned...
>>4996486903/4 !
>>499648307Polar Patriots is a decent warbond now. Purifier is no longer garbage, verdict has med pen and acts like a pocket countersniper, tenderizer is a great headshooty AR, and the pummeler has utility in stunning shit.
>>499649521>>best boostan in agesbig doubt, depends how much health it drains and if diving/jetpacking also drain health
Wait a minuteWhere's the 300 super sheckels?
>>499647484I can't believe they added pride capes
>>4996486904/4
>>499649802You didn't see anything, move on.
>charge up VFX on Purifier is yellow>charge up VFX on Loyalist is blueSWEEEEEEEEEEEEDES.
>>499650190Purifier is a traitor's weapon, simple as.
>>499650190>long energy rifle is more powerful than a small energy pistolNo shit
>>499649854Chud pride, you mean.
I have almost 2K SC just from playing since fart shitters came out.
>>499649802Wait he's right, they usually show the supercredits on the promo image
>>499649802Had a look through all the other warbonds and the polar patriots one also didn't show it
This game is dead and you should play other games.
>>499650685such as?
>Joel buffs lesath regen to 2.9%Its all so tiresome.
>>499650276>proof of faultless virtue (aka not a fag)>pride of the whistleblower (aka pride of the chud doxxer)Chudbros... we won...
doable
>>499647768this just reminds me of how indian women walk :(
>>499649956Isn't this a common Nazi stance?
>>499650854Overwatch, league of legends, dota 2, etc.
>>499651117It's one of the most basic military stances present in almost the entire world, what are you talking about?
>>499648313Consider what our enemies are.
>>499651117Are you literally retarded?
>>499651117Are you 12 ?
>>499647484They should rename the custom player rank to "Free of Doubt."Covers the same general idea without it being slap-stick levels of blatant.
>>499651617Thats the point, retard.
>>499651279These games are even deader
>>499651780To be hurr durr stupid?
>>499651835To be blatant about it. The whole fucking thing is supposed to be blatant, so much that when you or other redditards go like "hummm guys", everyone see how retarded you truly are.
>>499651054These dumbfucks on 100% loss planets already remind me of the Clasa clowns. Which, looking at Clasa's current playerbase, is now sitting as 66 players, which it deserves.
>>499651835You excited to try Helldivers 2 for the first time?
>>499651974Okay, angry teenager.
>alright buddy pal, you have two choices: a buffer for the DSS (buffer) or more fuel (fuel). What's it gonna be? Buffer? Or fuel?>both are failing
>>499652019Ok retard.
The vehicle stratagems!GIVE THEM TO ME!
>>499652046When these bug defense planets fall it'll at least push some of these faggots to turn off their games and make it so the players on Lesath have more liberation.
>>499652006I would love to run around as a new player again just for shits, and giggles, actually.
>>499652226I wish unlocking difficulties was a steam/PS achievement. I really want to know what % of the playerbase plays on what.
>>499652046Joel buffed the regen of lesath. There are no choices. You are just a passenger on Joel's railroad.
>like jurassic park>get it in hd2>lose it immediatelythanks, bugfags
>>499652504>plays onI play on 7 despite having higher difficulties unlocked
>>499652504Bug 10 because zzzzzzzBot mostly on 8 if i'm with randoms or want to chill. 10 when i want actual action
>>499651279>Heroshit, Heroshit and Heroshit 2
>>499652698Its on ACK-amar which has not been attacked yet. We're only losing buffer planets at the moment.
>>499652802Me too. But also because I usually just play solo. I don't want to deal with rocket chickens or alpha commanders unless I am playing with my friends.600 hours and I have never played a single pub game.
>>499647768>>499647484>We got Chuddie Mk3: Japanese Imperial Officier edition
>>499653328Pubs are the way the game is meant to be played.It's called helldivers because dealing with your retarded teammates is hell.
>>499653456They noticed people really like chud armors. Expect more in the future.
>>499653224>He doesn't know that ACK-amar is technically a bug controlled planet and thus doesn't need to go through a defense campaign.
>>499647484Any previous datamines about what these weapons are?I haven't seen any info about the team passive, but I'm smelling that sprint is infinite regardless of stamina, which is an instant 10/10.
>>499653598I like my solo chill games. Sone of my friends are probably not much better than pubs honestly. Had a few sign on last night after not playing for a while and we tried D8 bots and it was hell. After a while I just had to break off and take out two of the command bunkers myself before they burned through all of our reinforcements.
>>499653787This is the first warbond in a long time that wasn't datamined beforehand as far as I can tell.
>>499653787Halt is a shotgun with an EMS function.Reprimand is just an SMG.Loyalist is a mini-Purifier.
>Don't give a fuck about the actual shit in the new warbond>But that title and emoteI shouldn't waste my supershekels on this...
>>499653627I've bought two pieces of chud armor helmets from the store, so they're not wrong.
>>499653967It's odd how that is. I guess because everyone was too busy focused on Liberty Day and the 60 day patches.
>>499653958>D8 botsI once failed a D7 bots because the game spawned like 4 tanks and 2 factory striders among everything else during the flag mission.
>>499648664Is it a victory pose?
steam://joinlobby/553850/109775244678422304/76561198126520852D10, Robots.
>>499654462No it is not. That anon is a dum-dum
>>499647484Im actually impressed that we’re getting 3 brand new unique guns that aren’t variants at once.
>Constitution only does 180 damage at AP3>has no stripper clips>bayonet can't even 1 shot huntersIt's over
Nazi chudcoded game. The bugs are an allegory for the jews. Cope
>>499654090I mean, if you're playing this game, it's not the end of the world to collect another 1000. I get that much monthly just from playing with friends.
Strafe run is perfect for Quasar as a finisher/combo for tanks and cannon turrets. Similiar deal with EAT.
This warbond looks oddly dark. I bet we are starting to see the plot unfold as they slowly transition Super Earth into a genocidal fascist regime parallel to the nazis
>>499655259I'm more surprised that they're not named "The Penetrator", "The Prickler", "The Puncturer, "The Anal Prober", etc.
>see new warbond>has "truth" in the name>get hopeful they finally added stealth mechanics and picrel>nope
>>499655627Imagine wanting stealthshit in a horde shooter
>>499655627you'll get your stealth warbond after they fix knives
>>4996551303/4, we need (you).
>>499655627Fuck off. The less stealthfaggotry in the game, the less incentives there will be for autistic lone wolfs that run off and feel like they're accomplishing anything useful when really they're just trolling the lobby. Like, imagine this fucking gun on a Spread Democracy mission. I'd almost guarantee it would be equipped by some TOTAL NIGGER that is 300 meters on the other side of the map instead of playing with the team to fight back the fucking spawns contesting the flag.
>>499652504I play 7 on bugs because if I'm playing bugs I already just want to turn my brain off and take meme loadouts. It's still diff 9 for bots because diff 8 players are certified retards but they have all the awful high difficulty modifiers. Diff 10 feels too sweaty, but 9 players are competent for randoms. As long as I don't pick a flag mission it's all very doable.
>>499655596Starting? what do you mean starting? It's been that way for ages. Or are you some sort of autist who cannot understand subtext? practically everything you are told in the game is in the service of getting yourself killed for the state, Everything is a lie to get you to kill yourself faster. From the obvious propaganda, to the more subtle things, like nuke missions, you are nowhere near safety when you fire off that nuke, anyone who has done some research into nukes, and yes, this includes meme bullshit you can find on jewtube or some other website can tell you our boys are gonna be dealing with 12 different types of cancer in the next 2-4 years or so. Super earth knows you're gonna die before that becomes an issue, so why bother?
>>499655596Super Earth was always space nazis, you retard.
>hmmm, after some deep consideration and extensive media literacy analysis, I've come to the conclusion that Helldivers 2 is a very, very subtle satire of facism>heh... nice try swëdes, but nothing escapes from the antifa sniffa
>>499648090It's not same, similiar
>>499657514using the same concept art twice would result in similar productsconcept art is a drawing/diagram of an artist's vision of a finished product, which is then frequently interpreted and fully rendered by a 3d artist
so what is the booster and what is the armor effect?
>>499657916>BoosterDead SprintWhen you run out of stamina, you can keep sprinting at the cost of your health.>ArmorUnflinchingYou don't flinch as much
>>499657916>bosstanYou can keep running after your stamina depletes BUT you drain health if you do that>armorFlinching resistance
>>499657916Booster lets you continue running once your stamina runs out but drains your life to do it.Armor passive reduces flinching.
>>499658093>You don't flinch>as much
>>499658093>>499658152 >>499658161thanks brossounds like Experimental Infusion and Dead Sprint are going to be the metafag dream combo
The Halt is surely the ap3 shotgun ive always wanted right
>OG armor and constitution rifle leaked
dead sprint is worthless and I WILL be kicking anyone who brings it>>499658363what's next, are you going to tell us about meridia becoming a black hole?
>>499655627stealth is based, fuck the retard newbies who can't remember when this game had a genuinely difficult D9
>>499658363looks like it'll disintegrate after a bit of rain
>>499658456yeah it was difficult because the guns didn't fucking work
>>499656650NTA but this has little to do with "nazis" per se. This is just standard "ughhh The Elites don't care about The Common Man/Soldier" that people apply to any nation and any war.Ironically nazis cared plenty about their soldiers. I think they were the first ones to start mounting ejection seats in fighters.Also, commies like to say "fascism is capitalism in decay". I could see them slowly turn Super Earth's current goofy Bushite-liberal-hyper-jingoism into something more blatantly "nazi".
>>499648690>>499649041GG friends
>use napalm barrage on bots to killwhore>get outkilled by AMR userreally makes you think huh
>>499658093>unflinching>look inside>flinching
>>499658251Those two, along with jetpacks, will make duo SC running a breeze.Would also make a great case for skirmishing tactics using hit-and-run maneuvers a lot.Too bad the game is built solely around just marching onto the objective, blowing it all to pieces, then fighting reinforcements while you wait for the retard-proof consoles to finish their tasks.Mission objectives where running in to grab stuff and having to GTFO ASAP would be fun and these two boosters would make it interesting.
>>499658923be careful anon, you will alert AH and they'll remove SC from everything below D4 and above D7
>>499655596It's a 1984 reference, Anon. Ministry of Truth and the Thought Police, there to guard you against the crime of wrongthink.
>>499658660>they were the first ones to start mounting ejection seats in fighters.yeah because they built this: imagine ejecting (climing out of the cockpit) of either of these lmao
>>499658660>commies like to say "fascism is capitalism in decay"commies call fascism on anything that stands in their way to producing poverty on a global scale though
>>499659102There's a reason though the Do 335 had a system to blow off the rear prop for bailing out.
>>499658363The realistic artstyle makes it look like cosplay.
>gas resistant>actually you still take damage>fire retardant>is retarded>unflinching>has flinchingWhat's with the obsession with making armor passives that ALMOST do the thing you want them to do, but then fall short by just enough to make them completely worthless?
>>499659241the do335 had an ejection seat
>>499659363it had both, yes. >The presence of the rear pusher propeller also necessitated the provision for an ejection seat for safe escape from a damaged aircraft, and designing the rear propeller and dorsal fin mounts to use explosive bolts to jettison them before an ejection was attempted – as well as twin canopy jettison levers, one per side located to either side of the forward cockpit interior just below the sills of the five-panel windscreen's sides, to jettison the canopy from atop the cockpit before ejection.
>>499659339Because people will cry that it's too easy.People cry if it's too hard.People just fucking cry about this game a lot.
>>499659291it's the shoe laces for me, I do not like that addition
>>499659291>Democracy protects WHYYYY
Chud armor on the super store when the new warbond comes out?
>>499658093>unflinchingmight have some use with ballistic shield. That or at the very least with bubble shield
>>499660004is this in the game yet? i haven't kept up with all the super store armors
>>499659942le randomArrowhead want the Reddit audience.
>>499660135Not yet, but the mask looks very similar to the upcoming warbond's red icon.
>>499645680>that jittery hardscopetrop vite pour 2
>>499659749ah i see, sorry!
>>499660138The days of people openly courting 4chan are over and we need to just accept it.
>>499658752Just cheat the system by running guard dog and getting 18 kills every single time your guard dog shoots 2 marauders, because it kills the same bot 4-9 times due to netcode desyncs.Or just be the connection host and find a SEAF SAM so every single time a bot drop happens you get 100+ kills for doing nothing.Or just have a good in general connection so every single time your stratagems and damage get queue netcode priority over the stratagems and damage of other helldivers.
>smg so it's guaranteed bad>presumably concussive shotgun so probably badinto the trash it goes!
>>499660297as for the he 162, lol good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!die for your nation Chud!!!!!!!!!!!
>>499660507https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4PJRn0CTQI
Idc white armor hell yeah, too bad it's not the default one
>>499660660General Brasch needs me? Okay, I'll do it. I'll go to bat for you Brasch. I've got your back Brasch!
>le smgs are badArrowhead just needs to lean more into giving SMGs tighter hipfire and they'll have their own little niche to occupy nicely. Treat them like the SMGs in BF1, in essence. No ADS, just mobility and hipfire, which is pretty much the entire reason SMGs where made anyway.
>>499660910kek
are we really not getting pity SC in the warbond?
>>499660950You WILL follow modern firearms doctrine, you WILL shoulder the SMG
>>499660950they shouldn't release new concussive weapons and smgs until they know how to make them worth using because both are bad especially concussive weapons but that's what they do
>>499660910
>>499661262I refuse. I will move and I will hipfire. ADS is cancer.
>>499659024This. Super Earth is based as much on 1984 as it is on Starship Troopers, which is neat. 1984 is the granddaddy of grimdark where history is whatever the leaders order it to be, information is inaccessible, your own children are incentivized to undermine you, the average human life is void of any luxury barring some cheap imitations of stuff like coffee, and the pursuit of happiness gets punished with beatings or meat grinder trench duty. Ultra grim. Joining the war voluntarily and going out in a blaze would be the superior alternative to life as a prole so it makes sense that all Helldivers are eager volunteers.
>>499661262if you're good enough, you can do it right now
>>499647768>>499649956/biz/ idea: Armor that lets you cast a vote to execute traitors with no repercussion
>>499648307>he doesn't grind out D3 missions for Super Credits
>>499660471It's not concussive. You can see in the trailer that it shoots pellets that have an EMS effect when they hit which will be a unique ammo type to it.
I wish the Ballistic Shield was actually a side-arm weapon for your left arm.It would make it good to use as it is with this small change.
>>499647484The SMG better be medium pen.
>>499651117Water was a common Nazi beverage.
>>499661540I'd take that over being anywhere near WH40k's Terra. At least Super Earth gives you a free rifle when you grow up.
>>499661540damn... that sounds horrible... completely different to our society because:>the pursuit of happiness gets punished with wageslavery.... Joining the wageslaving voluntarily and blowing your brains out would be the superior alternative to life as a NEET
>>499661540>Starship Troopers in military attitude>1984 in political jokes and propaganda>Halo in special forces combat deployment method
>>499660950>>499661262>>499661293i dont think any shooter ive ever played had more engaging hipfire than planetside 2 with its SMGs. the blitz gd-10 sometimes felt like it was ripped straight out of counterstrike with how hilariously miniscule its hipfire reticle and bloom are
>>499647484>black and redCant wait for every fag to be running these and never ending slew of XxXAlucardsXxX >literally a fucking cringe lord XxSnip3RpHantomxX warbondxX
is the new shotgun programmable ammo?
>>499661870>he thinks that Halo came up with the HelljumpersIt all goes back to Heinlein. Deployment and extraction are identical to Starship Troopers.
>>499661540As much as I like grimdark shit, I don't understand how people can think that it applies to the real world. I don't think any society that has total human misery would have tons of volunteers for war. The idea they present is that when life is so bleak and awful that dying in war seems like the only escape, that's how the gubbament gets the most troops... Doesn't make a ton of sense to me. You can see that with Russia right now irl. Their population is miserable, poor, and oppressed and they have to drag people out of their homes and conscript them to keep their war going.
>>499662168stay mad.it looks cool
>>499662225you can program it to go down by one shell every time you left click
>>499662242honestly i hadn't read Starship Troopers, i'm only familiar with it at a glance
D3 with randos or D1 solo?
I don't think slugger is bad. It's like JAR that doesn't force peak physique on you when you play bugs

>>499662439D1 solo sounds too difficult.
>>499662439D3 with randoms. New divers are the absolute best.

>>499659291No, its because the brawnydiver is too fat.
>>499662265Russia is a shithole thats easily one hundred years behind the West but most Ivans are informed enough to realize dying in Putin's doomed war is the fate of a complete cuckIngsoc in 1984 is a hyper-efficient machine where most humans are genuinely kept in check like cattle and can't know any better, more comparable like China, God help us if they ever decide to start conquests

>>499663823They really need a bucking mechanic for situations like this. We already know they buck before charging
i hope we get a comparison between this new red and exterminator since im curious how much they differ aside colorthe image in OP doesnt show it well (since helmet looks more squished there) but in video it looked like 1-1 recolor of itspeaking of that were any other previous warbonds armor that close to existing armors or is this a first they made it so obvious? i didnt really keep up and only recently returned
>>499662265*You can see that with Ukraine right now irl
Am I the only one who finds bots less stressful than bugs?On bugs I have to watch for ninja chargers and jumpy fuckers 100% of the time, while on bots you very rarely get one-shot or effectively one-shot by enemies you weren't even aware of before they hit you.
>>499663010you're asking for pain by equipping a machine gun in the current state of the game. they're mid as al fuck now. just bring sentries. they do more damage and can auto aim. treat yourself to a more efficient support weapon. I recommend railgun, AMR, AC. each of these can BTFO so much harder on either faction than any machine gun and will never run out on you if you are half decent at ammo conservation. seriously fuck MGs. I'd love to use them but they got shafted in all these changes.
>>499664481machine gun go brrrrr

>>499658456yeah man having to run 90% of the time and chuck stratagems while one person across the map baits all the breaches was really funAnyone who wants this game to be rundivers again should have their copies revoked
>>499656650>>499656857OMG IT IS???!!!!!...... I know that you black faggots....im saying this war bond is the obvious transition (much like yours) from what was dystopian super earth into the dark ew era
>>499664424I sometimes get snuck up on by berserkers and I do not understand why AH doesn't give them loud chainsaw SFX when they lift their saws and rev them up but otherwise yes, I find bots way more easy in terms of controlling your encounters and being able to disengage than bugs at this point in the game.I swear they gave bugs better pathing because I find that a lot of scavengers end up getting into melee range from my flanks which takes my attention away from the big threats and I end up getting swarmed.
>>499664424I find bots to have a better ebb and flow of battle, bugs feels nonstop shooting.>while on bots you very rarely get one-shotThe unexpected tower cannon always gets me, but i think that's a sorta comedic jumpscare death.

need "powered armor" passive that allows the normally stationary reloading of certain weapons (MGs, Laser cannon) able to be performed while walking (not sprinting) and to be able to climb and mantle taller objects

>>499664119Off the top of my head, the shoulderpads are different, there's a pad strapped to the thigh and there's a bandolier across the chest. The helmet's a weird one in that it's really similar to the exterminator one in design, but I'm also fairly sure it's a fresh model rather than a kitbash of the old one.

>>499659339You vill use the medic armor
>>499659291>>499659840>didnt see it until you saidWhat the fuck>original looks to have a covering or spat with a strap goind under the boot>remake is super nike airsRuined
>>499664875the scout perk one? thought it was new armor in same idea with a big coathuh i guess after double checking it is indeed just trailblaze but with shoulderpadsinterestingi guess this is just first time iv noticed it>>499666338hmm so its also changed quite a lot from original, then again i dont really mind (also they have given me a proper black red cape now so i can actualy do some fashion with the light demolition and fire resist armors)
>>499659339Fire resist actualy works for the most partthe fire damage is really weak with it the more annoying part is the fucking screams your character still makes so in that department its kinda useless
>>499665901Was more referring to the fact it was recolored from its initial release. I miss the olive drab it had, wish it was a toggle between Helldiver Grey and Olive Drab.
>>499648307Purifier is a top tier gun so no problem
I hope new smg is good since more option to use with shields is always welcome
>>499665694the health on bug defenses went up too because we would have had time to cap lesath and go win the defenses
>>499664481Sounds like you have shit aim.
>>499659339I think they want armor to be like negligible bonuses. But then they make shit like commando armor, any of the recoil armor, medic armor. All of which completely change the game.
someone do a lobby and i'll join it and we will have fun together
>>499667341this looks fucking ugly
>>499654462>>499655139it's both victory and an emote.I like how they're making actual emotes though. Should honestly make all the victory poses emotes.
>>499661619it made sense on game release, but now? even with a friend to help with bunkers, it takes forever to get 1k super credits.at some point you gotta ask yourself, was wasting several hours on an utterly boring, awful grind worth saving 10 bucks?
>>499659339100% gas resist and 100% no setting on fire armor would be perfectly fine but let you run really fun strats imo. As is now, you can never really be the full on chemcial weapons or fire man.
>>499668030it doesnt look that badhowever id make the black bits brown insteadand maybe use a some gray for the brown parts instead ?though olive magazine looks terrible as far as im concerned
>>499667459Shield would be nice if it blocked small explosions like dev rockets. That and drew attention to you when you pulled it out. Means you could aggro bots while other niggers freely shoot. It actually does the inverse and makes enemies prioritize your allies.
>>499668228well rockets are not as bad of a thing now since they tend to be limited so unless you have constant wave of enemies you should be fineactually didnt know that, i thought they would still aim for me when i run in front of them with a shield
>>499668413I've seen them just snap to my allies like I'm using the HMG emplacement.>rockets aren't as bad of a thing now50/50. I get shot by rockets all the times. In fact that's like the only threat in the game when you're prone maxing. we'll see though, need to try revolver dueling hulks with the shield too.
I'll make a lobby... tomorrow...
>>499662379It's a good book. No relation to the movie, instead the troopers are all in mobile power armor, jump packing across planets while launching mini nukes at anything that moves.
>>499668045it's weird that they didn't
>>499665705?? I juke just fine in medium
>>499668724>revolver dueling hulks with the shieldwas much more viable with cannon hulks, but with rocket hulks back it's just not worth it
>>499668724>we'll see though, need to try revolver dueling hulks with the shield too.its still fucking funny to me to see revolver able to kill hulks and bile titans in the face

I'm excited for the plasma pistol so I can run it with the purifier. just hope it isn't shit.
>>499668045Who draws shit like this?It's so stupid.
>>4996696193/4
>>499669794Most the pistols are pretty good. The only one with no niche is the starter pistol. So it willl probably be great or good one warbond from now after rebalanced.
>>499669853artists
>>499669794I'd be surprised if it was AP3.
>>499656650The stims are the real dead giveaway. Anything capable of numbing pain enough to get you walking on a broken leg, or using a broken arm, is going to be so addictive that after a survivor exits service, you're going to have massive rehab problems. Solution? No survivors. All potential leakers killed. "Truth" and public perception assiduously managed to maintain carefully crafted information asymmetry. The most horrifying bit is how close in real life we are to really implementing something that could be used to effectively pull something like that off.
>>499669794if it's not purifier with a smaller mag It'll be shit
>>499670138Sounds like the covid vaccine.
>>499669619fll
>>499669992I'm honestly kinda mad that the Peacemaker and the Liberator got completly overlooked during the 60 day plan
>>499670575wdym the liberator got a 5!!! whole bonus to damage.
>>499670138Death toll would have to be as bad as it is in-game for that to be pulled off. You hear no horror stories from Helldivers because none of them live long enough to tell stories. Even the natural born fighters (these exist irl too, some people are just damn good at surviving combat) will die under extremely oppressive and unwinnable conditions... Which is pretty much every Helldiver operation. So even the absolute best of the best divers probably have a life expectancy of a few operations. If they're returned to cryo after a completed mission or operation, that means their next waking moments will be another dive. They don't have time to commiserate or talk to anyone. So you essentially have an extremely disposable, infinite supply of divers that WILL die relatively soon after being deployed. You can do anything you want with those dudes and they'll never tell a soul.
>>499648852Yeah. Seeing engineer armor just be helldiver base armor but painted orange is cool.
>>499670830It's actually really weird because the death rate to mission success rate and effectiveness of the troops is actually super good. But because people are only deployed in small teams and fresh bodies are only brought in once they die, all active helldivers are 100% guaranteed to die.Very weird dynamic that doesn't look anything like a normal war. Obviously it's mostly just a gampelay thing, but still weird to think about.
>>499659339>take the fire resistant armor to a fire tornado planet>"heh, finally this perk will be useful">you still die in two seconds and it does absolutely nothing
I'm honestly more curious about how high casualities are for the SEAF, Helldivers are basically navy seals next to these guys
>>499659768Crydivers to tearpodsCrydivers to tearpods
>>499671131My headcannon is that diff 5~ is the cannon difficulty, and anything else is just a meat grinder they overestimate for.
>>499671267The weird thing is that it has less resistance than the gas armor even though fire does more damage than gas.

>>499671387You get missions for evacing civies, you get missions for evacing critical equipment/gear/data, but none for SEAF.Feels like they get 100% wipe everytime bugs or bots take over a planet.
>>499665016>Wordswordswordswords>"I have crippling ADHD."
>>499664424>what are rocket chickens for $600, Alex
>>499671131I've explained this away as the fact that divers are all brainwashed freshies that are just straight up charging in and shooting everythung that moves, wildly throwing stratagems and have almost zero sense of self preservation... Much like a player in a video game. They take some bullets and what do they do? Stim. Suddenly they're filled with super drugs that make them feel like gods and make it so they can power through broken limbs and blood loss. That shit doesn't wear off quickly. They're now juiced up roidragers with retard strength and democratic fire in their hearts. They're going to absolutely massacre anything that isn't human until they finally take too many bullets and straight up die. Or if by some miracle they make it to extraction, they probably crash right as they get back to the destroyer and are whisked away to medical where they're patched up and frozen again. Take off the bad limbs, give them the stim antidote, repair the minor damage and bam, another diver for the cause. It's really horrific honestly.
>>499672942Enemies that only appear on difficulty 8 and above
I always wonder what the hole on the back of every helmet is for
>>499669853Zoomer fanart is weird. They love tall/giant women and putting giant tits and asses on everything.

>>499675825i want a space benelli m4. And since now we can just magically program rounds with the click of a button, allow me to change between buckshot and slugs
>>499675825>another pump shotgun shooting buckshotWell, weird EMS stun buckshot, but yeah.
>>499675864Flat out lie, you literally get oneshotted by chicken rockets flying nearby you, not even direct hits.
>>499676037I run medium padded armor and can't remember the last time a rocket chicken killed me
>>499676037I have never since playing get killed by a rocket flying by me. With fort you never take damage from the splash, it's primarily the impact.
>>499675825it's flechette. Either its' ap3 or (likely this sadly) or it will pierce enemies and atomize everything in a line.
>>499676205Yes, the impact almost always oneshots you or leaves you at 20% health even with the maximum armor rating, even from behind cover.>>499676189Then you just have poor memory, are lying or don't play D10 enough.
>>499675825>>still no breaker equivalent full auto slug shooting shotgunJar-5 called.It said you're being a whiny faggot.
>>499676495I exclusively play D10. Still don't get one shot by rocket chickens with any frequency. Not to mention they just flat miss you most of the time.
>>499676867>Not to mention they just flat miss you most of the timethis is the worst part about them. They miss by a land mile and the explosion radius is so big that they launch you towards them.
heh heh
>>499676867I don't get either, don't mean I forgot how it happens.Or how the damage is insane on their hits.Also I bet you don't play solo, so you never had to handle 30+ chickens on your own while testing out random loadouts.
>>499677067Strap him to an airburst rocket
>>499670138>Anything capable of numbing pain enough to get you walking on a broken leg, or using a broken arm, is going to be so addictive that after a survivor exits service, you're going to have massive rehab problemsStim clearly don't just numb pain though, you'll bleed out if you don't stim a chest injury, so they must be some sort of nano machine wolverine healing factory injection.Which means the actual "addictive" nature is probably far more terrifying. You know how when you take steroids your endocrine system just shuts down, because your body says "if this asshole is just going to keep pumping an orangutan's worth of testosterone every week, why am I still working to make testosterone like a sucker?".So what happens when you regularly pump your body full of shit that completely mogs your body's natural healing ability?Permacura is technically correct, stims are NOT addictive. Your body will just completely lose all ability to heal on its own after "excessive" stim use.
The more I play the more I realize shield gen is a god send. Just wish they shrunk the radius. Being able to soak all the tiny splash rockets helps so much. You always get hit from so many odd angles, and not flinching/flying around for like 5 seconds is great.
>>499676367inb4 it's a pump spray and pray.
>>499677685just dont be french and call in gems and sentries inside the shield's radius
>>499676976I still don't get why they made this extremely abundant enemy hit with the force of the fucking sun. The rockets are so potent I've seen them kill other bots on impact.
>>499677990>i am too shit at the game: post #268thanks anon
>new warbond>only saved 780 super credits
>>499670447You think too small. Think Boeing 737 MAX, Thalidomide, Erin Brokovich, the Sacklers/Opioid epidemic, THERAC-25/Agent Orange, Asbestos, Fen-Phen and every other act of corporate/industrial scale malfeasance, but instead of having the Government prosecute corps for it, it was the Government telling them to go ahead and do it because "population numbers are starting to exceed current projections anyway, and the stronger economy is worth the sacrifice" and there being a monopoly/MITM of any technical communication system, with plaintext only security to allow for top down censorship in near real time, and a Stasi like zeal indoctrinated into the populace to keep grassroots organization in check and unsanctioned whistleblowing in check, and finally, a willingness to engage in downright slaughter and disappearence of any objectors wholesale. That's what we're getting closer to the technical capability to implement, what many politicians don't want to outright come out and talk about. Those who think "but no one would really do that" need to wake up. Because the capability is there.
>>499678504Gonna be running d8/d7 for a bit so I actually get super credits.Still really annoying that getting super credits on D10 is not easy.
Any news on what the sprint booster is? Less slowdown from being out of stamina would be nice. Sacrificing health for continued sprint while out of stamina would be hilarious.
>>499670575Peacemaker does need a nicheMaybe give it a small damage buff, a burst fire option and like 6 more mags and turn it into a peashooter with so much ammo that you're almost never going to run out
>>499678873>Sacrificing health for continued sprint while out of stamina would be hilarious.That's what it is.
>>499678873its a troll booster just like firebomb hellpods
>>499678909it had burst fire in hd1
>>499663823Yeeeee-haw!!
>>499678191Sorry, but Reddit dictates the game balance now. And if people think this enemy is frustrating, it *will* get nerfed just like laser Hulks and Hunters.
>New booster trolls your teammates again by causing them to kill themselves if they run while out of stamina.I'm waiting for the next booster that removes ADS and makes hipfire more accurate, so I can mindbreak the players that only ADS when firing.
>>499679408Hulks weren't nerfed. Hunter change was dumb.
>>499678909Giving the shittier guns more ammo is probably the easiest way to buff them with minimal chance of overdoing it.if the gun still sucks with extra ammo it probably needs something else but i think alot of guns could be more on par with the top tier guns if they got 1 or 2 mags.
>>499679541>stop running>don't diewow that was hard
>>499679868>He thinks the brainlet NPCs that play this game micromanage their stamina bar like that.
>>499668120If you play just a couple D3 campaigns a night, you could probably make 1k SC in around two weeks. The missions don't take that long and the maps are smaller.
>>499679602>>499678909Kind of hard to sell infinite ammo when the dagger exists.
>>499679541>bring this and firepodshehehehe
>>499680060dagger has no stagger or flinch and i don't know if lasers apply suppression.
>>499679998Not my problem.
>>499680335I'm certain it does. Flinch kind of is a good point but if you are using a weak gun with tons or infinite ammo, you are generally using it on weak enemies that just die right away.
>>499677685As someone who's used the shield gen a lot even before the latest patch it kind of feels like the changes to the shield gen are more of a sidegrade or even a nerf than a buff.
>>499679541You will now spend the mission running around with 98% health.
>>499677990it was good when the jet pack niggers were in the pool. I'd see like two of them per bot drop. Now it's back to 4 per drop ship. I do think they made them so deadly though so they just kill each other and anything running at you. Like hulks.
>>499680416It will be when those NPCs kick you for trolling them.>I'll just host instead.Enjoy leavers + fucked matchmaking that doesn't backfill your lobby, so you're stuck playing as a team of 3 or less, then.
>>499680304Firepods barely do anything. The only griefing they do is that the pods then barely make any damage to bile titans and stuff like that.
>>499649956
BUFF ORBITALS
>>499680484should say the relay, not the backpack.The backpack actually got buffed a good deal with the 1 shot protection built into it. The relay though is considered a nerf by most people. I agree though just feels different than what it was before. It lasts a good while if you keep shit off of it.
>>499680586That's ok, you just need two people to win against bots anyways (one on the RR and one to assist reload).
>>499663823Men are like that, they ride you then run off like you didn't matter...

>>499682486In the Vietnam War soldiers were literally taking Meth to be more alert. I'd imagine Stims are very similar considering how ecstatic they are about taking them

People really really underestimate how deluded and dug up they can get when they believe they're right, you can show them evidence that they're wrong right to their face, and they'll just dismiss you as the crazy looney instead.See: Flat earth conspiracy, anti-vaccine fags, liberal antifa cuks, organized religion, faked moon landing, hollow earth, dead internet theory, JFK assassination, Protocols of the Elder of Zion, Pharmacy companies have all cures but they won't sell them, chemtrails, etc. All of them have people who all they have on their side of the argument is the BELIEF that they're right. There's a reason why religion was called the opiate of the masses once upon a time.
Do Helldivers actually have a retirement plan? Are they just frozen and never mentioned again between wars? If they're expendable why do they get to have expensive cybernetic augments?

Specially if they made it out alive from the situation that maimed them. It's the reason why fighter jets have ejection seats, because despite the jets being 100+ million dollars, it's better to save the fucker who knows how to use them than training a new pilot. It's also one of the factors that led to the defeat of the japanese in WW II, all of their pilots were killing themselves, and the new ones where just going up in the air to get killed by experienced american pilots.

>>499682093Helldivers are genuinely considered to be too psychotic and dedicated to being democratic zealots than even super earth politicians can match. The gov just gives them an unlimited budget and heavy weapons to go crazy on enemies because otherwise they might do something back home like set off suicide vests in public places as a show of patriotism.The Democracy Officer is typically used to keep people from having wrongthink but for Helldivers they're more or less there to make sure their attention span is focused solely on foreign enemies in a managed way lest their autism compel them to ram the super destroyer into a bug hive

>>499685475It's played off like that, but considering how every single helldiver can perfectly use and reload any weapon while pulling off acrobatic tricks, I doubt that's the actual case.

>>499685475I think you fully misunderstand.Helldivers aren't drawn from regular civilians. They come from already trained soldiers.Helldivers are special forces. They're paratrooopers and VDV. They were regular army/navy before this. The armed forces works the same way. You don't go straight into special forces training. You gotta be in the armed forces already.
>>499686390In the loading screen they say there's genetic management done by Super Earth. I wonder if genetic memory combat knowledge is somehow implanted in this. I think the devs said they aren't clones, but yeah.
>>499686390That's just ludonarrative dissonance. Like how the devs love to jerk themselves off over how "every helldiver death is canon they're all just disposable fodder" but also let you keep your ranks, unlocks, customizations etc between lives

>>499686550SEAF is for retard normies, Helldivers is for zealots. You can buy Helldiver camp and investment packages for your kids as referenced by ingame ads, there is nothing elite about them other than what propaganda tells you. They're all disposable bodies given capes and fancy equipment to look good for cameras to keep the fake war going.
>>499686116The way cryogenics works is that in order for you to not die there has to be something that keeps the water in your body from forming ice crystals like the organic antifreeze found in wood frogs or mammoths. So you can have your brain working essentially like normal with just a much slower rate and information could be getting dumped into it with the right tech. You could be getting an education while in your pods too.

it's like this because of the switch in demographics for games around ten years ago. helldivers 1 threads were very few, but there was almost zero whiny faggotry. i actually can't think of a time when someone acted like a faggot before HD2

>>499690559>No one will do. I have webms to make on release in random lobbies then.
>>499689137Is it even established that divers are truly "asleep" in their pods? I missed this post>>499687682>You could be getting an education while in your pods too.And it tracks with the idea I was bouncing around in my head that the popsicles aren't actually asleep. Besides just dream-mode weapons training, a number of divers up to the maximum reinforcement amount are put on standby mode where they can observe the current mission as it starts in real-time so there isn't any time wasted on mission briefings when reinforcements are called in.
How viable is a full laser build against the bots
>>499689601Attention to small details is not a skill you possess, I see.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKOQ-h4w7ScHelldivers have absolutely had advanced weapons training.
>>499690923You can do it, but it's not strong. I would at least save it for cold planets if you want to have fun.I wish the lascanon was good, but it just isn't. Sickle is actually pretty decent now, I'd rank it much higher for doing it's job. Dagger is a fine sidearm. Nothing amazing.
>>499690838>maximum reinforcement amount are put on standby modeThis is likely true since the only Hellpod launchers are in the bridge. Now how about explaining why you come from cryo when joining someone else's ship but also come out of cryo when returning to your own
>>499689789>NOOOOO!!!! HELLDIVERS ARE LE EPIC SUPERSOLDIERS!!!!! NOO IM NOT DISPOSABLE FODDER IM ELITE IM ELITE IM BASED IM BASED!!!This unironically based and true. Only a massive retard would think otherwise. Media-illiterate, even.
How do they even turn bugs into starship fuel anywaysDo they even know how much fucking energy you need to travel between stars?
>>499690923Viable, but not particularly fun. Dagger is good, LC is okay, scythe is basically a waste of time if you have the other two, bring sickle instead if you're going to do beams in all fields
>>499690838The point of weapons training is more than just knowledge, but you need to physically do it, as well. Muscle memory is a necessity and it comes from repetition. You can't just do it in popsicle sleep.Which is why I keep saying that Helldivers were regular armed forces before applying for a position as a Helldiver.
>>499691101There is no evidence whatsoever to support your assertation with the information the game presents. TV ads have to play general tactics like "Use anti-armor weaponry instead of wasting bullets on heavy armor." It's like asking why Gordon Freeman can expertly handle every weapon he's ever interacted with. It's a videogame and nobody thought about it that hard.
I ain't got no panties on.

>>499691702Yeah, i too love some freedom in my pants.

>>499690923Decent but pointless and you'll find that you'll never use the Dagger.

Ok I'm in cope mode realizing we aren't getting a liberty day warbondBut will they at least give us a new cape, paint job, and player card automatically put into our inventory along with the armor and gun?Pls ;_;
>>499691147>>499691412It's funny cause I wanted to try it because I accidentally clicked the Lascannon and found it pretty good in deleting Hulks I guess I can pair it with the Eruptor, which is good for almost everything
>>499691965It's got slight use case because it doesn't make medium enemies flinch, making your followup shot trying to hit the head easier, but then it has worse damage, a worse scope, can't do shit to medium enemies if you can't see their head, and can't handle armored scout striders.
>>499692141The Dagger is one of the best secondary weapons in the game. Practically near-unlimited ammo, and more than powerful enough to take out chaff. Great for times when you need to cull small groups of enemies without wasting ammo.
>>499692260Yeah it's not BAD, it will get the job done.
>>499692229Nigger you'll get HD1 armor and the gun. And next week we get a new warbond. Expecting anything else is hurting yourself for no reason.Looms
>>499691965Doesn't flinch enemies, making it easier to headshot Devastators. I vastly prefer it to the Counter Sniper.>>499692273You can cover the AP3 weakness with the Verdict or Senator, or by shooting strider rockets if you get the chance. I have great success with this combo. Won't use it for bugs though, hive guards and too many bugs means I need more bullets than what a DMR can afford.
>>499692302Yes, but in the context of a full-laser build that role is fulfilled by all your other weapons + laser dog.
>>499691965Eruptor is better than both
>>499692509The gun is fucking garbage though.
>>499692006Not a thing you said has had any backing behind it. You are actively arguing on the basis of "just believe me bro". Stop being a retard and trying to push your headcanon as fact based on your mallninja wannabe fantasies.
>499690759this is bait
Be polite, be efficient
>>499693149Ok?
>cucks and faggots seethe over this
>>499690923Not viable. Builds with no variety are weak by default. You want to be able to throw out as many different categories of damage as possible. If you go all laser you won't even do one fifth as much damage as the guy who uses a laser but also gas, fire, explosions, and shittons of bullets (sentries are god tier rn). So make a varied build, then accommodate it for your favorite laser pointer.

>>499691306>Now how about explaining why you come from cryo when joining someone else's ship but also come out of cryo when returning to your ownRelevant data is transferred from meat popsicle to meat popsicle through the same data transference system that allows the divers on standby to observe ongoing operations. We don't need to transfer the popsicle, unless a ship needs restocking, just the critical mission info that the Helldiver operatives need to operate operationally. This is done through the presumably robust FTL communications network that keeps your galaxy map updated in real time. Please don't ask me to explain a galaxy spanning empire with FTL technologies. >>499691554>but you need to physically do it, as well. Muscle memory is a necessity and it comes from repetitionThis makes sense to me, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. My own personal experience corroborates this too. Helldivers being selected from the armed forces with previous experience with the weapons makes sense as well. I can't say that cryosleep is like the sleep I've had, but saying cryosleep is a "Super Simulation that they all practice and get really good in" to justify all divers knowing all the weapons inside and out and having perfect handling and reloading of all the systems they have access doesn't give them the muscle memory to do that. Otherwise it'd be what, every reload gets a randomized timer that changes the length it takes to reload and the longer your diver is alive the lower it gets? With a chance of fumbling too? Oh god I hope the Swede autism doesn't get a glimpse of this what have I done

>>499695003>Helldivers get 3 days of trainingFeel free to point out where you've read that.
>>499671131I think it's weird to think about because of an instinctual feeling of horror that given you handwave the getting to that point part, once you're there the setup actually kind of works and settles into a meatgrinding equilibrium. No group of Helldivers is unsupervised in any one place long enough for substantive culture contrary to the indoctrination to form. Even if it does, cross-pollination between Helldivers only happens on OPs, which come with high chances of death, and are time constrained, and at least monitored somewhat through telemetry. ...And yet, that stupid shovel Easter Egg in training makes me think maybe in death, even a dying Helldiver or 2 manage to leave logs on their equipment that might be read by other Helldivers who come and discover them on the battlefield before Super Earth can get to them. Divers who do less dangerous OPS, and mix and mingle with many other divers before dying might act as nexii for oral communication to transmit culture. By Democracy, I think I've figured out how those damned Rebels might work! Someone needs to get this to the Ministry of- --SIGNAL LOST, Diver terminated by friendly fire--

>>499655627invisibility would be dope for a split second but your ass would get friendly fired so fast
>>499671131The fun thing is it embodies the kind of videogamey experience you get with resurrective immortality. All Helldivers are fresh recruits, there are no "veterans". Helldivers fight until they die, then are immediately replaced by another fresh recruit who does the same thing. But you as a player get more experienced and aware of what you're doing, what you need to do to survive, tips and tricks that High Command doesn't teach the Helldivers. Stuff you'd only learn by BEING a veteran. So when you deploy as a fresh recruit you have the skills you rightfully shouldn't have. Remember that the training manual says "When in doubt don't think, just yell 'for democracy!' and rush headlong towards your problems."It's like that movie Edge of Tomorrow. Almost all the soldiers there are fresh recruits and die in their first battle, including the protagonist. But the protag has resurrective immortality and can learn from every death, and once he gets used to it he starts getting better and better, until he's easily the most skilled soldier on the battlefield. The original LN/manga series it was based on had the protag go into a blind rage at the end and kill more enemies in one battle than the next most experienced soldier did in their entire career.

>>499695461The ball needs to have downward velocity for it to stick, you can see in this webm that it went past the peak of the arc before hitting the charger. As long as you have a little bit of elevation over the enemy you can get it to stick pretty consistently, but a good rule of thumb for chargers is to aim at their head before throwing.

>>499691965>go for headshots>kill Devastators and Berserkers in one shot just like Diligence CS>can reliably bodyshot Hunters and Troopers after the damage buff>bigger magazine capacity and more extra magsCounter Sniper doesn't have much more durable damage, so it ultimately only comes in handy if you're fighting Hive Guards and Bile Spewers, or insist on shooting the armored torso on Devastators. The extra regular damage doesn't let it cross as many threshold breakpoints as you might expect.

>>499702452Tards saw AP4 and had a knee jerk reaction to it. It probably is too effective versus Hulks though.
>>499702452It takes upwards of 40 shots because you're dealing 35% less damage from matching armor penetration. Nobody's going to kill a Bile Titan with a Senator except as a finisher after dealing a bunch of damage with an actual weapon.

If they're not gonna make Patrols converge at extraction they better reduce the extraction time to a minute or less with or without booster, because no way am I standing there without doing anything for every single game every again.
gonna play on a d1 mission wish me luck
>>499707621Elin were kino but mostly I'm mad there's not been a good replacement for tera's combat in any MMOs.
>>499709126The real answer, is that ALL soldiers no matter how elite are by definition disposable. That doesn't actually mean though, that the leftist masochist fantasy of a military that capriciously squanders the lives of its soldiers is a realistic one.Even the apparently callous and wasteful WW2 Soviet doctrine of marching soldiers through mine fields rather than clearing them, was born out of the logic that simply marching them through produces an equivalent casualty rate to assaulting a heavily defended enemy position. So it saves more lives in the long run to choose the option that maximizes mission tempo as well as the speed and initiative of your fighting force, rather than wait around for specialty mine clearing units to arrive then slowly clear a path while harassed by enemy fire.
>>499647484D1 or D3 for super credit farming? I need to grind out about 300.
>>499712092D1 is very simple because it's very short distances between POIs. I just got 4 different SC locations for a total of 40 SC on a single mission.Some people say D3 because it has overall more POI, but the distances are also longer, there's a bigger chance of obstacles appearing, and more enemies means more time you need to spend not reaching the SCs.
>>499712092>>499712376Also. Make a lobby and I'll join to open bunkers. I also need to find around 300 to 400 SCs before the new Warbond drops.
>>499711495>If they're not gonna make Patrols converge at extractionIt does tho.
>>499712376That makes sense. I wish it was more common to get higher stacks of SC than 10.
>>499712558It does not, unless you already have enemies attacking you and they call for reinforcements. You can have patrols go past you and ignore the extraction site.Either make every patrol converge at extraction once the timer starts, or reduce the extraction time to a minute or a minute thirty, with the booster reducing around 30 seconds.
Bypass from 3 months ago still works so bling bling no need for jump pack or to waste sc not opening bunkers

>>499713403I've been playing on multiple /hdg/ lobbies and games and the're been more than a few times when the whole map is cleared and we have to spend 2 minutes waitinf for anything to occur at exctract before the pelican arrives and not a single bot or bug arrives to fight us.
>>499713569Thats because the spawns are bugged for whatever reason. Its not a feature. I know the bug backpack can fuck up the spawns, not sure whatever else can do that.
>>499711239>However, it is sure where it isn'tGets me every time.
>>499687572It's funny that people believe that real life SF are not expendable. It means the propaganda works.In total war conditions, direct action special forces suffer massive casualty rates in constant high risk operations. Sometimes they get lucky and pull off a miracle, but individuals in these units will end up in a meatgrinder sooner or later. Multiple US army ranger and British commando units were completely annihilated or suffered extreme casualties in WW2 for example. The 1st SF itself, the "Devils Brigade" suffered an attrition rate of 600%. By comparison, line rifle companies suffered attrition rates around 100-300% in the ETO.
>>499713290are you sure you're remembering tera correctly?It was full action combat, there wasn't any "select enemy and push buttons" like in WoW. You had a couple of abilities that were lock-ons (mostly from the spellcasters) but most of it was skillshots / aimed attacks.
>>499713515Keep groonding, I don't think I've spent more than half an hour lmao>>499713564If no one got banned months ago doubt they'll ever ban someone. Also if the bypass still works then they didn't even bother fixing that. I know there's a $10 table that replaces every pick up with SC but I don't need that many

>>499689601The strength of the stratagem is the Helldiver, and the strength of the Helldiver is the stratagem. Without the destroyer, a Helldiver is just a soldier with some extra armor and training. Without the Helldiver, the super destroyer cannot target effectively and efficiently.
>>4997053132/4 again get in here
>>499715425>Without the destroyer, a Helldiver is just a soldier with some extra armor and training.Most people use 2-3 slots on extra weapons or backpacks. The fire support is mostly an unnecessary afterthought.
>>499713569That depends on the extract position. In theory: if it is near the edge of the map and you spread a bit then no spawns.Next time the patrols spawn 20 meters away with 5 secs between each, the drops keep coming every 30 secs somehow and usually that happens in the FUCKING FLATLAND EXTRACTION WHYA bit of consistency would be appreciated yes.

BASED Joel shitting on these nerds
There is nothing more satisfying than mag dumping the AC into a Impalers face, wish the mag size where 20 rounds though, feel a bit anti climactic blowing through 10 rounds too quickly>just team reload broOnly the RR get that treatment
Heres my honest review on the new warbond having played with it all.SG20 Halt is mid. While the stun rounds seem ok at stopping enemies from advancing you can do the same thing with other shotguns due to stagger. You're not going to stun then switch rounds because switching to flechette rounds is tedious mid fight, just bring a different shotgun and kill enemies instead. Has some gimmick use in hitting chargers in weak points with stun rounds and hitting the back of hulks but otherwise not top tier.SMG32 is bad, as expected. No medium armor pen means its isn't doing anything new over existing SMGs. SMGs dont struggle with damage they struggle with being usable against most enemies which have some level of armor. PLAS-15 actual winner of the warbond. Is a viable alternative to Revolver and as OP as it is, good weapon but low ammo. Dead Sprint: Troll item, kick on sight to anyone who picks it.
I haven't played in months. I guess you need to wait for the impaler guy to dig into the ground before shooting him? Sometimes it feels like it takes 1 rocket but most of the time it takes 2. Same with the BT even though I swear I'm hitting it in the head.
>>499689601Not an elite supersoldier, more like an elite superadmiral, they're literally given free reign to blow up a colony's surface as long as they try to complete the objective without deserting
>>499716208Its harder to hit a man on the ground than a plane in the sky. Men and drop pods are also cheaper than planes that can enter and leave planet orbits. Helldivers are just biomechanical targeting systems for destroyers.
>>499716356>>just team reload bro>Only the RR get that treatmentLMAO YOU JUST DEFEATED YOURSELF
>>499716484You hit the part with black dots all over, that's the weakspot
>>499716484The hind legs are another weakpoint and usually a better alternative because you can shoot them off while the tentacles are retracted.

>>499718053Im adding a new weapon to Helldivers which is a airburst but with only 1 shot and it shoots in a random direction. We will simply not know until release whether this is good or not.
>>499718050Honestly I'm okay with that, should be fine if you're not room temp IQ, but how fast it drains the HP?
My first diver has never died he just plays stratagem hero on the ship endlessly, the democracy officer is none the wiser
Team Reload is never gonna be a widespread thing until AH lets us team reload from the shooter's backpack. It doesn't even make sense to team reload from your own backpack, the reason reloading it is so slow is because you can't reach your backpack, but apparently you can when you use it to reload someone else? Insanity.
>>499719050>but how fast it drains the HP?Fast enough to not justify using it but for two guys with stim pistols shooting each other continuously as they sprint
>>499719124This is actually true for my guy because I bought HD2 on PC and PS5 but only play on PS5. He finished training and then never dived or died. Pretty sure hes actually around super earth atm living his best life.
>>499719251Is it as fast as standing inside the gas cloud or being on fire fast?
>>499719247>Team Reload is never gonna be a widespread thing until AH lets us team reload from the shooter's backpack.I genuinely don't understand why this hasn't been implemented. People have been begging for it since day 1, and refusing to team reload otherwise. Have they ever made a statement on it? It's so silly.
>>499719050>>499719251A case could be made with the old can only stim when hurt, but as it s right now it's painfully obvious that it's useless. Oh I have to run away and can't afford to stop, if you have stims then use them, if you're out you're fucking going to die unless somehow reaching a point 2 seconds before is the ultimate salvation.Shit you could have made it like, sprint 10% faster and you get damaged if out of stamina. Bam, useful in general with a bit of things you have to pay attention to and easily buffed/nerfed if needed.
>>499719615My guess is spaghetti code that would implode, imagine say some dude with a supply pack that wants to press e on the dude with the weapon
>>499719853pretty much this>dude emote>go to him and press E>give him ammo instead of emoting back>he was having a full RR backpack, I probably gave him 1 secondary mag or something
>>499719578A bit slower than fire >>499719667Exactly its a wasted slot, it only would have made sense if it did something new like allowed you to sprint, lose HP but you ran faster while burning HP.
>>499719853Surely they could just make you hold R for .15s or something
>>499719247Yeah, it's just stupid.>Teammate uses weapon A while I use weapon B>If I want to support him, I have to go through an entire ritual of getting him to give me a backpack for his weapon then drop my own>Meaning that unless we take the same weapons, it's impossible to just help with reload in emergency like bot drops arriving because it would take too long>It also means it's near impossible with pubs because it requires coordination in form of asking them to give you their backpack or call a new one, a task way above average player>This is on top of the primary drawback: sacrificing your own firepower in order to help someone elseIt's such an incredibly easy fix to just let you assist someone if either of you is wearing the backpack but no, AH is acting as usual.
>>499720412HD2 is running on a dead engine with clearly incompetent programmers. I think the idea is don't touch shit, because A. they'll break it and B. they dont know how to fix it.Case and point they can't even make fire penetrate enemies and not be brokenly OP. That entire 'feature' was an unintended bug they kept in.
How am I supposed to not like super earth when they let civilians have full auto shotguns but I can't have them in the real life "land of the free"?
>>499697554Do training. Finish the course. Don't get on the rocket. Leave the launchpad and examine the environment. There's a hidden Helldiver statue with a shovel shoved into a mound of dirt in front of it. It's probably just a personal touch by a dev/level designer, and almost certainly not intended to communicate anything like the meaning I'm synthesizing from it; but as a symbol in the environment/world the devs have built, it sticks out to me as more than it appears.
>>499720482>>499719247This is what happens when you adopt ideas because you're trying to build a brand image or cultural idea rather than use common sense. It worked in HD1 because you physically could not leave your team and people often stole your ammo pack right in front of you to help you.

>>499720732AH is really just sniffing its own farts and refusing to budge on so many retarded implementations of mechanics.I'm still seething about tying effects to armor because the appearance simply fucking has to indicate what it does, except there are several armors that are entirely useless (like some light armors without full speed bonus), don't make any sense anyway (Ravager being light armor despite being recolored Drone Master (medium) with MORE armor on top) or in general just the armor perks being extremely uneven in terms of usefulness.But they very clearly stated they aren't going to change it at all despite how much they try to sell you cosmetics that you basically troll yourself by equipping.What the fuck was wrong with HD1 simply having perks? It's like they specifically kept every HD1 mechanic that doesn't work in 3D for HD2 and then made sure to replace every mechanic that would work with new, much worse shit.
>>499721595Its survivorship bias at its worse. They think they know what they're doing, when in reality its mostly blind luck and panic reactions to players telling them what to do and not enough people are complaining about how bad armor is so they're not fixing it. We simply don't have other third person coop shooters which is why HD2 is successful.

So what do we know/think about the Reprimand? What does "Heavy SMG" mean, that it has AP3? Because right now the Defender does more damage per round than the stock Liberator, so it surely can't mean damage output. And on that matter, why is the K***ht the only SMG that actually patterns after real-life SMGs (short range and high rate of fire)?
>>499725246if it's not in the game nobody knowsit could mean anything because swedes do random shithalf a year ago heavy could mean 60 damage, then it could mean 95 damage, and now it can mean anything, from ap4 to fucking nothingit looks like it's using big cartridge but looks are completely disconnected from function hereall we know is that firerate will be shit
>>499725246Hopefully its to the other SMGs what the adjudicator is to the liberator
>>499725246SMGs aren't SMGs because they have a high ROF fucking retard. Its just a full auto that fires pistol cartridges. Video game ass knowledge of weapons i swear.
>>499725246also defender is classified as a pistol so it only deals high damage at point blank range, it has very sharp damage falloffle funny thing is that stalwart is also classified as a pistol, even though everyone says it shoots liberator bullets it's actually more likely defender bullets
>>499725710to be fair most modern SMGs aside from the UMP have a fairly decent rate of fire but i will concede that vidya makes SMGs into portable bullet hoses
>>499725246it either has medium penetration, high damage, or both, with the primary malus likely being poor ballistics meaning damage drop and arc at range. One would put it in an okay place relative to other automatics, both would make it pretty great.>>499725710man doesn't know his schmeissers clearly
