Bitches Edition>Previous>>500955721>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/https://invadersfromplanet.space/helldivers-2/>NEWSOct 15: 60-Day Patch 2 https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/7291982050853715743Oct 26: Liberty Day (Constitution, DP-00 Tactical)Oct 29: 1.001.201 Patch https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4550416955418345496Oct 31: Truth Enforcers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m053YyNixug>CURRENT WARBONDOct 31: Truth Enforcers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m053YyNixug

>>501041360you'd need 10 crossbow shots to kill the fang so i dont believe you on that one unless you provide a webmeruptor's explosion is technically not an explosion but shrapnel, and the projectile itself deals ~75 damage to the 300HP turrets

Dropping on tanks is a trap, right? There's like a 90% chance that you get ragolled into the stratosphere when the tank blows up
Wait, the airburster actually slaps now. What the hell.
>>501038386>>501038350DSS leaks indicate it will allow you to buy weapon customisation parts and skins for existing weapons for a whole new resource sink.

>>501044460At this point I'm willing to accept a >rifle deals 0.005% more damagejust anything at this point
>>501044316What does shell armour mean? Is that the destructible armour parts like on a chargers legs?
>>501044604you got it exactly wrong.the airburst is dogshit useless on bots below d8.on d8-9-10, it's actually a fucking monster.you can clean up entire bases and bot drops with that shit
>>501044604Yeah never on bots, but on bugs, its really good
>>501044662yep
>>501044697This. Fucking wipes entire heavy dev packs easy
>>501044235Game doesn't need to be made any easier, having fags just put ap rounds on everything is an awful idea and would trivialize enemy armor
>>501044697This. Bots D10 it often wipes entire patrols out in a single shot. It's genuinely a good pick if you're not retarded with it and your team already has AT
>>501044697How does it compare to the gatling barrage? Can it actually destroy bot fabs guaranteed?
>>501045360the airburst rocket launcher in question
>>501044316>melee ignores ALL shell armorhave you tested it specifically against the torso of chargers or only their legs?
>crossbow>impacts>airburst>napalm barrage>eagle strafe>380oh yeah, its chaff killin' time.
>>501045521what armor class is charger torso (inner)
Nerf medium pen weapons
>>5010455781 but that's irrelevant. I'm asking if you specifically tested against the torso because there's a high likelihood that the bayonet doesn't ignore outer armour. If you only tested against the legs and never tried the torso to see if it was consistent it might just be the charger leg bug rearing its ugly head again allowing the bayonet to hit the interior leg hitbox, like it does for any weapon in the game.
>>501045729regular melee ignores shell armor as well, so I don't see why this would be a bayonet only issue
Color customization but only for the armor in the free warbond
>>501045865Have you tested ANY kind of meleeagainst the chargers outer TORSO armourSPECIFICALLYand not JUST its outer leg armour.yes or no?
>shoot up infused stims on the way to extract>run through wall of bugs dropping gas grenades at my feet>whole world turns mountain dewIt never gets old.
>>501039203I am still seething about chin guns being explosive immune, what a retarded nigger idea.
>>501045579Counterpoint>buff light penetration weaponsMake them hollow point so when they do penetrate an armor point they do more damage.In other words, make the deal more direct and durable damage than medium penetrating weapons.
>>501046808>hit the head with a single rocket (where fucking everyone aims)>chin guns escape reality before they even have a chance to shootGood idea.
>>501047109>>hit the head with a single rocket (where fucking everyone aims)>>chin guns escape reality before they even have a chance to shootNo that's not how it works retard. Unless it was HE but then that's fair game.
>>501041635eruptor's projectile is three part. the projectile itself is 230/110, which causes an explosion of 225 on the impact point, which causes a bunch of shrapnel that does 110/35 per shrapnel. you need to be at a lower elevation to have a shot at one shotting a fang with the eruptor because of the weird mechanics attached to the shrapnel spread.
>>501047625>weird mechanics attached to the shrapnel spreadwhats weird about them
>>501048110it "blooms" them away from the impact point, slightly towards the shooter, without actually striking what you hit with any shrapnel. you can actually see it to a degree when the shell goes off, and it's why you can decapitate yourself somewhat frequently, and why shooting low and under your target is the best way to do single target damage with it.you do more damage to the guns by shooting upward between the chin, the shrapnel will strike both guns. likewise you will turbo fuck chickens and chargers by shooting under them and SLIGHTLY behind them instead of actually striking the crotch. also works on chargers and stuff as a slight return of the belly shooting strat before
>>501048575That's what I expected it to work like desu. It can be beneficial for things like spamming bug breaches/clumps of enemies.>also works on chargers and stuff as a slight return of the belly shooting strat beforeYeah I've been using it to kill Impalers by shooting under them, I think it's 2 shots if you get lucky
>>501045865Let me expand my query and explain why it matters if you tried testing against only the leg of a charger. It matters because testing stuff against the charger's leg and only the charger's leg creates unreliable conclusions because of the well know and long established presence of the charger leg bug. A bug that makes it so any weapon in the game can occasionally damage the interior leg hitbox even when the outer armour is still intact. The flamethrower and throwing knife projectiles used to completely ignore the armour every single time, but their projectile types have been fixed and now only hit the interior leg hitbox during the specific animation frames that expose the interior leg hitbox. Melee, however, has not been fixed in this way so it continues to completely ignores the leg armour.If you have concluded melee completely 100% always ignores any and all exterior armour hitboxes by testing against the charger's leg and ONLY the charger's leg that is not a reliable test and the conclusion that melee can ignore ALL outer armour hitboxes may not be correct. It might be specifically the charger leg bug that is allowing melee to damage the interior leg hitbox, rather than it being an inherent trait of melee attacks to be able to phase through exterior armour. A more reliable test would be to see if melee can also kill impalers by hitting their legs, which as far as anyone knows is not subject to the same kind of bug. Which I just did, and it turns out that yes, melee most likely does indeed ignore all types of exterior leg armour. Now the real question is whether or not this is intended behaviour, or if it is just a symptom of all interior hitboxes being enabled at all times. Normally this isn't a problem as the exterior armour hitbox completely overlaps the interior hitbox, except for on chargers. That the constitution can hit the impaler's interior leg hitbox might just be a consequence of its enlarged attack hitbox.
>>501049471they fixed it
I make the game so easy I have become fully pacific. Halt/Stim Pistol, EMS, EMS mortar, Smoke, Ammo. If I pick up a weapon I instantly win D10. When is D20 coming I'm bored of winning.
Wonder how many troons get triggered by her.>"Proud to serve by your side, Sir.">"Its Ma'am!"Dont think they have different voicelines for brawny/lean.
>>501051174k mr pacifickeep us posted
>>501051379I refuse
What does /hdg/ think about the unflinching passive?Personally I think it's a shame to have such a shit passive tied to such good looking armor.
>>501050527If you're referring to the charger leg bug, no, they have not fixed it. You can still hit the interior leg hitbox with any weapon. They only fixed the spray projectiles of flamethrowers and the throwing knife to no longer phase through the outer armour.

>>5010534106, which is why devs patched super samples onto it. People were basically getting filtered by them when they were 7+
>>501053216He was shooting the part of the leg closer to the body. Maybe that has something to do with it.Also he is using Halt so it's new.
>>501053634look at >>501053216 @ 0:07after the first charge, shooting the same area while the charger is slowly waddling forward (it was the known animation to abuse in addition to the turning in place after charge)there's something else at play. but arrowhead fixed the leg armor turning off in certain animations that's for sure. so he is wrong.

>>501053902>>501053760Here's another clip I recorded from just after they supposedly "fixed" the leg. This was well before they buffed the penetration of flamethrowers and reworked charger HP and armour values and the flamethrower was still able to kill the charger by flaming the leg. It took significantly longer but it was still possible. They never fixed the actual charger leg bug, they just changed the projectiles on the flamethower and the knife to no longer phase through the armour.

>>501062373It's basically how much HP a planet hasThe higher the level (up to 40), the more people are needed to succeed in time
>Blob is going to Eskerdie niggers fuck youuuuuuuuuuuuu
>>501062373Basically defence level is a modifier that applies to the liberation rate of defenders. Higher is more difficult. I'm not sure where the baseline is, maybe around 12? In the last MO the bot defences had very low difficulties, like 9, and liberation rates were much faster than on enemy planets. Two planets at 16 on the other hand seems very implausible to hold both at once.
>>501062291Taking Esker is the smarter play, if they take Socorro they'll need to attack Esker again, locking that line of attack for a while

>>5010623601.3 million people isn't THAT much for something like thatWith 8 hours shifts, that's 400 000 people working at any time, so probably the size of a small city
>>501062891swedes don't know how to set up an unwinnable event that's fun, they just crank up the numbers when we're expected to lose that trick they pulled with the bot personal order on the last day of the previous MO was pretty dirty though

Holy fucking dripfeed
>>501062891Defenses should work exactly like Liberations, but reversed The enemies are attacking with a steady force (like maybe 4%), our goal is to push back with our own strength for some given time until the SEAF arriveThis "fill the bar in 24 hours or you lose" is gay and works terribly for multiple defenses
>>501062360They probably just thought itd be funny to make that the MO
>>501062605There's at most 10 billion people on SE. Maybe 1 billion in the core planets, 100 million in the inner planets... I really doubt the acid and firenado planets have more than 10k people each, and the rim and the frontlines should be completely depopulated by now.

>>501063582If the human population is only 10–11 billion, how are 2.3 billion Helldivers already KIA since February? The Helldiver Corps are supposed to be elite units as well, meaning they must be heavily outnumbered by ordinary SEAF troopers, who themselves are a limited proportion of the population (i.e., able-bodied adults not performing other essential work for the Federation).>>501062806>800k HPHow are we supposed to interpret HP? How much HP gets depleted when we complete an operation?I agree with >>501062891 and >>501063464 on how silly defense campaigns have been designed. The Helldivers are supposed to be the Last Line Of Offense®. SEAF troopers should already be mounting a planetary defense, with the Helldivers deploying behind invading enemy lines for sabotage or at the front lines to cover an allied retreat. AH seems to have forgotten all this when implementing the 24-hour countdown mechanic for defense campaigns.

how nice of the bugs/bots to ONLY launch massive attacks after the other faction has done theirs. i wish the war would be less railroaded so players can create progress on the bot front outside MOs.permanent 0.25% decay on bot front when there is no MO for bots would be nice considering it's the lesser popular front.

Is the "cryogenic freezing suicide drop troops" one step before "mass human wave army"? I imagine there's few densely populated planets under Super Earth's dominion that would allow massed conscription of disposable troops, or not enough output of industry to support an adequately equipped mass army. Would this be a deliberate choice in terms of strategy? How can force annihilation be accomplished if helldivers just continuously make surgical strike after surgical strike? Wouldn't one massed force face less attrition overall compared with isolated fire-team sized strikes?
indirect replying just means the conversation ends with you losinga fatal irony error has occurred
>>501075010Helldivers are still deploying in ridiculous, human wave numbers, but it's more effective to spread them out so there's less of them to hit with each barrage.

Ok /hdg/, we've heard your complaints and made some adjustments, from now on all weapons have a chance to explosively malfunction due to manufacturing defects. All feedback will receive an automated response of "git gud" and the whole company is going on vacation until April starting yesterday.

Haven't been playing a while but didn't they nerf fire weapons? Are they worth using against bugs?
The ship master mentions cruisers exist, I would like to trade my super destroyer for a super cruiser
>>501077381they buffed flamethrowers and they are as powerful as ever. nobody uses the flamethrower anymore in bugs because other support weapons just outclasses it now.
>>501077381They nerfed fire weapons, but then got bullied by the playerbase (again) into un-nerfing them.

And when we secured the land and protected it while the facility was built, then as soon as it ended... nothing fucking happened. Just move on to the next pointless shit major order that means nothing. What will change if we lose that planet withj the forge complex? Nothing. The Dumb Shit Station will probably just be a resource sink for useless shit like clans I am sure. FUCK JOEL AND FUCK SWEDEN for this heavily scripted galactic war with literally no stakes. At least in the first game it was all player actions that won or lost a war, and you could actually fucking lose.
>>501078540I don’t think that’s a photoshop, that just looks like the landing pads on the Mars tutorial map. Still copy-pasted however.

>>501077537Theres a lot wrong with it, but it's alright if you're running solo more.>Can't kill chargers in a reliable speed like any other support weapon kills hulks>The flame wall it gives is easily accessible with a flame nade, a flame pistol, the napalm strike. (Granted flame walls are SUPER useful on bugs, there's just much better ways to get it.)>Hunters will rape you with it if they're not dead from the DOT, Alphas will just charge you and shave off a bunch of HP, Red Warriors will do more the same if you're not ready for them>Teamplay it's the absolute worst weapon in the game, this weapon will get you TKed more than anything else. Honestly probably the worst team weapon because of how bad it fucks you and your team over bringing it.>NON-STOP CHIP DAMAGE, The flames will chip you, enemies will chip you, impossible to use offensively if you're stimming yourself.Flamewalls are probably the only thing it's got going for it, that and ripping through heavy chaff. Just It's hard to justify the slot, because most of the time you don't need to worry about bugs ever getting close because someone will likely be killing everything instantly for you.It's not bad, it's just not really good at anything.If it had a knockback/stun mechanic that had buildup, it'd fix a lot of problems with flamethrower. Not an instant kinda thing, but something that if you're focussing an enemy you won't just get chipped with damage.
>>501079312that actually did give us a buff to liberation percentages for a while, but since AH doesn't like giving players any meta information directly in game nobody bothered defending the planets we needed to keep it going

>>501079312I don't really care if it's scripted. In all likelihood, they have already storyboarded how the first two years of the war will play out. I just wish that MOs actually had consequences. That SEAF Super Facility should have granted something like a bonus to defense campaigns. If we lose the DMFC, it should not only delay the DSS but also give the bots a strategic advantage of their own.

>>501080667Your pity doesn't mean nothing to me, pedo
Eats + Railgun feels pretty good on bots. One of the few niches that other support weapons can't fill is killing tanks and turrets, and the 2 tap combo is alright. Really clunky though if you don't prep it.Best to charge a shot with railgun, then swap to eat. You don't need much either, and it can technically kill factory striders too.

All the people who binge d10 bots say helldivers is a trivially easy game, but if you say rocketchickens are easy to deal with they will start chomping at the bit to contradict their own statements. Again, /hdg/'s botdivers are prone to nigga moments.
>>501085706>>501085670that tranny won't show xerself doing it because it would complete shatter xer ego, xer has instead resort to smug posting and tranime image spamming>>501085959I'm not saying it's impossible to take down chickens with light pen guns, I'm saying how to realistically deal with them when being surrounded by more than 2 of them on top of being shot at by other bots. So are you going to prove it or not?
>>501086407Until you get tagged by rocket devs, or rocket infantry, or a cannon turret, or a rocket chicken...
>>501085943Nobody in this game trusts their teammates to handle anything or is willing to stick to a single role so chickens tend to pile up because nobody is focusing on clearing chaff
>>501086605>play with bugpubbies>the one AT guy is always ready and always taking care of businessvs>play with botpubbies>everyone has AT but nobody uses it
>>501086432>rocket devsYeah because it's generally not fun to get ragdolled into oblivion from across the map.D10 bots is easy. The game is easy.But you're not gonna get through a bot-dive without some bullshit deaths here and there because the of shit enemy design.But you le hardcore players have such a hard time understanding this so you always end up in some le git gud spiral.Very infantile to be H with you senpai.
>>501086518Pro tip: Don't try to face tank rockets or cannons
>the game is easyRaise the flag missions on even D7 to D10 are not fucking easy. I’d argue they’re easier on bots if you have a team with enough IQ to take turns hitting dropships as they come in. With bugs it’s absolute fucking chaos

>>501087118>game is easyReminder that this opinion is held by the small vocal minority of elite players just like it is in any co-op shooter game. If DRG is anything to go by the majority of players will play in the middle difficulties, upper-middle maybe.So AH has to walk a very careful line between appeasing them as their most hard-core portion of the player-base while also not driving the the more casual crowd away from the game if they intend to actually make money off their live-service model.

>>501089480I almost fell for this bait. Almost.
>>501087849They have the answer built right into the system: Just keep adding higher difficulties. You already don't lose out on any real rewards at this point, in fact you get less resources often by doing d10s. What they need to do is also start changing enemy behaviors and map layouts on higher difficulties. Just adding harder enemy variants has it's issues because then you are arguably locking off content from lower skill players. But even then, this could easily be fixed by having such higher tier enemies show up rarely and only in very low numbers. Similar to the tutorial missions that have a higher tier enemy as the objective kind of, but obviously not making them an objective. Tuning with:Map layouts/designsEnemy behaviorEnemy variantsGives you plenty of room. And we need more missions like Meridia, that was great.

>>501090592I see... so many shitheads with main character syndrome nowadays, Helldivers 2 was supposed to be a cooperate game, I personally don't really care about how many I've killed, I find joy in support the team and keeping them alive.
>d10 bots>no stims, no ammo, just a single stun grenade>suddenly cornered by a flamethrower Hulk>take out my Reddit Gun>shoot six times, throw the nade, reload and then keep shooting until it explodes>big smile across my face because I know that somewhere, someone is fuming over this>"Alexa, play Big Iron" just for the heck of it
I'll wash my files just in case and make new lobby
it's time for the next round of balance changes
>>501087849>vocal minority of elite playersits litreally knowing when to fall back and stop throwing bodies at a problem. When shits getting bad you hock reinforces to a place you've cleared so you can regroup. Too many people wanna hold shift+W back to their weapons and samples and death spiral. Irritating because squad has nearly an identical problem.
50/50 armor feels like the best armor for bots, next to reinforced. Also looks great. Lotta shit just 1-taps you, and having a 50% chance to survive that helps immensely. Granted it will explode right after, but you can get lucky and roll twice. Otherwise,Feels like the only thing that kills me is a rocket strider ragdolling me into oncoming traffic, or a factory strider ragdolling me right in front of his gatlings.Honestly good on AH for making a counter to going prone, but damn there's not much counter play after you get launched into enemy lines. Half rather rockets and cannons just did butt loads of damage and slightly ragdoll you out of cover.I don't look forward to the ragdoll nerfs, that's like the only thing that makes bots scary.
>you can kill 2 rocket chickens with ap2>you can't kill 3 rocket chickens with ap2 because the third one teleports behind you and rapes your asshole and then ragdolls you into the sky and then impacts your head into the fucking concrete, and then it crashes your game, then it uninstalls it from your pc, then it deletes your system32, then it fucks your mom, then it fucks your daddo you realize how ridiculous you sound?
>>501091053You were in a loss state, you deserved to die
>>501091282that problem is entirely caused by support weapon cooldowns being retardedly long, nobody wants to be useless for 7-8 minutes because their team refuses to actually clear a base instead of running at the first dropship flare
Voice lines:For comms wheel>Retreat>Regroup>Split up>I need backup>Hold your fireGeneral:>out of grenades (when you’re out of grenades but you try to equip them)>Bunker, need a hand here (when you call out the 2-person bunker POI)Yes I know you can just type all of that but it’s a bit tricky when you’re under attack by a mob of enemies
>>501091141theres no way they're keeping everything so ridiculously powerful..Feels like nearly every strategem needs a higher cooldown, and a lotta meta weapons need their mags tuned down.Maybe they'll fix spawns for bugs next so you can't just drop reds ontop of a single breach, but then greens will be the answer for everything because they can deal with separate targets. Man I don't know what they could do to fix this.
>he doesn't choose his loadout based on what other members of the team is bringingngmi, this also happens in /hdg/ lobbies, explain yourself
>>501091404Reinforced (on Enforcer and above. never used light Fortified) also lets you survive lots of potential 1taps, including rocket chickens. It's my go to.
>needing to shoot chickens to kill them
>>501091701>Feels like nearly every strategem needs a higher cooldown, and a lotta meta weapons need their mags tuned down.Go to bed before you have a seizure, Alexus.
>>501091813Holy based
>HMG emplacement
>>501091767>ReinforcedI mean fortified
>>501091713some players dont need a coherent loadout to win because they are just that good at the game.
>annihilate an absurd amount of stalkers + nest using my beloved autocrutcher and cook(read:crutch)out>Alexus gets mad and disconnects the entire lobbymany such cases
>>501091713I never change my loadout based on my squad, unless someone is bringing something like flamethrower and I don't wanna TK them too much.The only time I'll consider changing loadout is if we don't have someone bringing recoiless. You super feel it when you don't have something for factory striders/tanks.>>501091767I find going prone does most of that, but I bring it when I'm running high recoil.The 50/50 drip is just so good though.
>>501091921>free HMGe for the day>bring 1 with me anyway>calling down 2 (TWO) of them down during a bot drop>other teammate have enough braincell to jump on the second emplacement I called down>we both shred everything to pieces and take down the factory stridermy testosterone levels has never been higher
>>501091921the cannon variant better be in the game soon, and it better survive a charger running into it
>>501091863Gas is busted right now. Most turrets are way too powerful. HMGe is fucking insane. I genuinely don't have a chance to fight anything because some stupid red/green killed everything already. Crossbow and purifier need lower mags. If you're not brining a sidearm to compliment your explosion damage, or manage it in in any way. You're just playing like a smooth brain retard. There needs to be a downside to it that matches the support weapon kind of "Low Mag" balance.
>>501091701Another round of buffs some weapons to go alongside small nerfs to the meta weapons should keep the community from imploding again, release it along side the DSS to keep people occupied with actual content too
>>501091701I am not going back to kiting shit around waiting on cooldowns because all player-held weapons are useless, just make dropships invincible and increase chaff spawns so you can't throw down a turret and take a nap
>>501092364>If you're not brining a sidearm to compliment your explosion damage, or manage it in in any way. You're just playing like a smooth brain retard.I hear you loud and clear, king. Sidearm choice, locked in.
>>501092607based. Loyalist feels pretty solid right now. Really versatile, but not an auto pick.
>>501092080>something for factory striders/tanksthermites, rocket sentries, or just shootan the weak spots with my trusty support boomstick (finishing a factory strider with a railgun shot makes me pee pee go big)
>>501091634Buy a mic poorfag
Why do so many fucking retards REFUSE to take the EAT when being pinned down by a tank and their support weapon are out of ammo or jump on the hmg emplacement someone else called down when being chased by a horde of berserkers? I called them down for you for a fucking reason, get a fucking clue fucktard.
>>501092305>free HMGe for the dayReal shit? I'm getting on then.
>>501092607>two plas two stam leather beltyou dropped this, king
>>501091767>>501091935People sleep on Fortified a lot because they think, "Not all the damage I take is explosive!" But they don't realize that explosive damage can easily one-shot you if you're not careful, so in a lot of situations it's the difference between "Holy shit I'm ragdolled and in the red, I'm fucking dead!" and "That direct hit from that rocket barely scratched my HP, I can just get back up and pwn them."
>>501092509I'd just nerf the chaff clearing strategems, they're way too ridiculously tuned right now. But at the same time, we get way too much fucking chaff. Feels like the balance is just about there though. Like primaries ALMOST feel valuable, like I can run frags with the constitution and have a good time. I just hate the amount of brain dent shit like napalm orbital and sentries swarming every lobby.
>>501092905people want to take leech anti-chaff stratagems nobody except the most heroic altruistic divers take anti-heavy stratagems over the leech reds like napalm or gatling
>>501092905>get on HMGE or take EAT when the guy who called it down explicitly wanted it for himself>make a mortal enemy for the rest of the mission
>>501091410Naw he had a stun leftover, he earned it by managing them well.
>>501092905I don't take strangers supports and backpacks without consent
>>501092364I like to use my secondary slot for actual pistols. I will killwhore using the crossbow every mission every faction and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
>>501092905Eats are alright. They let you take pot shots at hulks from far away, but I wish they let you shoot tanks with normal support weapons just to finish them off after you toss an eat at them. Holy FUCK I hate the barrager tank for this. actually I should run strafing run with eat, that might fix nearly every problem I'm having with it.
>>501092305I swear i was the only one with a braincell using the free turret. Pubs gonna pub
0 SC... do I hate AH enough to start farming a 1000 SC from nothing?actually yes, I'm still so mad about eurovision that I will farm 1000 SC
>>501093403>I like to use my secondary slot for actual pistols.Yeah that's what I'm saying. Feels like you should have to ration your shots between pistol and crossbow, and have a solid work horse pistol should you run outta ammo. Shouldn't just be click click click with your crossbow to wipe things out, and have buckets of ammo that you never have to think about your shots.
>>501093209>>501093370No, I literally typed in the chat box "Take the EAT next to you dude, I'm out of reach and it's on CD" "Jump on the gun, you can use it" but the retard just continued sitting duck and hauling ass.
>>501093560I honestly don't use them because I like testing my loadouts and the HMGe is so fucking busted that it trivializes encounters.
>>501093615I agree. But with measly 5 shots I think it's already a given. I like to pair crossbow with Verdict on both factions. Wish Redeemer were a little stronger, but it's at least a workable choice on bug side.
>>501070846Based beyond belief.
>>501070846>i will silently judge people for taking meta loadoutsI will silently judge them for not doing that
lobby doko
why are bugs so stupidly fucking easy?nothing can kill you, it's ridiculous
>>501093571Do you not enjoy employment and respect your own time? You could have fun farming SC through regular play, but why would you want to farm SC through D3 or D4?
>>501094479Because Helldivers itself is easy. In the same way that bots become easy once you use this thing called cover, bugs become easy once you throw the right pokeballs at every bug breach.
>>501094479redditors whined a lot and then some about impliers, alphas, chargers and titansso all these got degraded to chaff

>>501094748>bugs become easy once you throw the right pokeballs at every bug breach.what's confusing me is that you're implying bugs are not easy without spawn camping bugs via orbital napalmsit's a fragile melee faction that moves slower than the players and doesn't even spawn in the numbers to make up for it, if you ever get killed by them you are an absolute retard
>>501094831I rarely use the RR but I'm not going to let a retard dictating my choice of loadout, fuck off

>>501094748I think it's just brain dead easy so everyone can kinda play it well, but I wish there was some sort of skill ceiling that you had to function with.
>>501095797Steal their backpacks
>>501095502Honestly bots are pretty easy once you recognize what can ragdoll you and just delete that shit.Bugs at least have a bunch of objectives and missions that force you into CQC with them, the best that bots get are wide open areas with little cover to fight them. But one grenade is enough to get cover to go prone in.
>>501093063Damage from any size of bile bugs exploding, bile mortars and bile attacks are all explosive damage too.
I thought arrowhead hired more people to able to cope with the current size of the playerbase by churning out content at a more consistent rate? Either they lied or they cheaped out and ends up hiring a bunch of pajeets that couldn't do anything worthwhile

Remember, they are catering to the L4D audience. The same audience that played the same maps over and over and over and over for 10,000+ hours in pure joy every time.
>>501094479The difficulty with bugs is not getting killed by your teammates when playing with pubs
>>501095162I guess. I just always throw pokeballs at breaches.
>>501094831third crash today.. man i'll just wait tomorrow patch and not play today anymore
>>501096926>they are catering to the L4D audience. The same audience that played the same maps over and over and over and over for 10,000+ hours in pure joy every time.I don't recall the grenade launcher from L4D2 can 1 shot a Tank but ok, L4D was fun because the enemies are squishy and special zombies have special mechanics like dragging you away or pinning you down requiring other teammates to free you from them, HD2 have none of that, most enemy are bullet sponges and the "special" ones are basically just "thicker armor and more HP" than normal chaff. Shit even got more boring since we can 1 shot everything with the RR now
>>501097341Not a crash. I kicked you because your loadout was too meta.
>>501096479wouldn't have killed you anyway because are running heavy explosive res armor.

Maybe the eagle strafe? I feel like Super Earth farmers could strap some guns to their corn-dusters. Emancipator mech? They usually just use it for digging the trenches for the corn fields but it can be a serviceable self defense weapon.
>>501097437It tells you when you're kicked retard.
>>501097446It wouldn't have killed me anyway because I am protected at all times by the light of DEMOCRACY and the nefarious weapons of our enemies are weak and pitiful before it
>>501097761>he doesn't knowfigures, newfag-chama
>>501097761Getting kicked sometimes crashes your game.
explosive resist should just replace the explosive damage with ragdolling because it would be more realistic

>>501104571NTA, I've seen it.But mechs are generally not worth the stratagem slot, I only ever consider taking them if I plan on bumming a backpack/support weapon off of someone else or I have no idea what to take as a 4th stratagem
>>501104469Another one I only see here is>tries to troll>gets trolled and bullied backIt's the strangest thing. I think it's what happens to people who pretend they're high test when they have their usual rounds of feeling insecure.
>>501104813Hopefully you went back to D1, where you belong.
>>501104714He's right. This one faggot completely acts like a woman about everything and finds and reason to menstruate all over the thread because (s)he's actually offended.
>>5011011022/4 two slots open1/3 missions done
why is he pretending to be two different people
>>501104994Fuck off bro I know him. He's better than that because he usually does D3. He does D1 when he dies in D3.
>>501104994>more no youCry harder d6 shitter
>bullying of the womanly cuck continuesToday, /hdg/ was based
>>5011011023/4
>>501105259I'm sorry about your bullies lmao.
>>501105259I take back what i said, D1 is clearly too much for you as well. Just stick to the tutorial intro, that's more of your speed.
>>501105524Based
>>501105394You got so mindbroken from being called a shitter that you can't even get your schizos right. Poor baby.
>>501104571I do it all the time. Your womanly ass looks to /hdg/ as an authority that you've created for yourself while having some of the worst players in general.
>>5011011023/4join dorko
>>501105707Sorry about your bullies, bro. You have to ignore them before you start getting mad and offended. I believe in you next time.
KEK stop bullying the cuck. He's just going to get all pissy and derail the thread again lmao.
>>501098952host crashed lolggs though
He thinks everyone who disagrees with him is samefagging so now he's going to aggressively spam the thread with samefagging.
this jank sloppa build can't last through an op after all
>>501104410The trees are too big and keep fucking up the napalm strikes.
>>501105979I like how he learned his lesson and stopped bringing up poos out of nowhere. Still a cuck, but slightly better.
>>501106030Whether true or false, you''re crying and taking it like a cuck. Be a man and ignore it. You only respond to it because you see that it's true. Stop revealing that.
>>501098952>zamn verifying your files really does fix your crashes>he said 10 seconds before crashingnice one dork
>>501105870You are extremely schizophrenic. I thank god every day I wasn't born a troon like you.
>>501106030>>501106369>pl-please stop bullying meKEK
>replies to the indirect post calling out someone for samefagging>on post cooldown with his other post where he pretends to be someone else agreeing with himselfit's a really good argument for post IDs now that all this anti-vpn stuff is happening
>>501106442people will just samefag on their phones
>>501106442I'm sorry about your bullies, but you need to calm down, lady. No one is out to get you.
>>501106435No wonder you're so butthurt, you think everybody is the same person making fun of you. I guess it's a coping mechanism.
I miss the free HMG emplacement stratagem already.
Bake a new bread drama obsessed retards
>>501106686I was replying to two different peolpe. Look, I know you're upset, but this is just what happens when you act like a cuck. Either deal with it or continue crying.
Why, just let it be dead for a bit, it'll be unusable while this retard vents his frustration at everyone calling him an indian anyway
>>501106924He learned his lesson and stopped bringing up pajeets. Bullying works.
>>501104571mechs are only worth it if you need to hold one position for a good amount of time against continuous spawns, and for bots that's maybe 4 mission types total
>>501106870Acceptance is the first step, I'm glad you're able to recognize that multiple people think you're a faggot.
brown people don't deserve to play this game
>>501107089Says a womanly cuck who keeps getting bullied lmao.
>>501104698shoot the backpack, retardo
>>501107089>chooses to continue cryingYou made your choice
>>501107081The real problem is 2 uses of a mech that doesn't last for even half of its cooldown in a 40 minute mission is horrific uptime. Same reason people stopped bringing orbital laser. Sure, most missions probably only run 20 minutes, but feeling like one of you strat slots is going to go to waste still feels like shit. Even worse if you don't manage to get every use out of it because of the massive cooldown.There's a reason you only ever see mech pulls on blitz and eradicate, and people have even stopped taking it to eradicate because if it gets destroyed you are just fucked, and eradicate is FF central.

Unironically good thread. Keep calling out womanly cucks.
>>501107192You must be confusing yourself for me. It's understandable since you're autistic AND schizophrenic.
>>501107497>nooo but i'm not being bulliedKEK your attempts at trying to be a man are pathetic.
>>501092305A good HMGe deployment is like a direct injection of dopamine to my brainThe only downside is eventually you run out of targets
>>501098529Absolutely true
>>501099346>MaceAbsolutely kinoGet one hit and then hit them with the overhead feint to throw comboGuaranteed pants shitting anger every time
