Target Prioritization Edition>Previous>>501172197>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=m053YyNixugNov 5: 1.001.202 Patch https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4443457098120954143>CURRENT WARBONDOct 31: Truth Enforcers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m053YyNixug

Redpill me on strafing run. I mostly do bot missions.Can it destroy fabricators and kill hulks?
>>501255456She just doesn't have her Super Earth approved prosthetics on yet.
>>501256293Fabs, yes.Hulks, maims em a bit. No.
lobbies?
>>501256293Yes and Yes.You need to clip the eyes or heatsink for hulks.For fabricators it needs to deal enough demolition force so it depends on how you toss at it.I'm talking about oneshots.
>>501255875>>501256216Truth. /hdg/ has offered the women in their lives to the great Indian Helldivers. Some give offerings every week or every day.
>>501256445But is it consistent in oneshotting anon?
>>501256627>>501256293Strafing run can consistenly one shot fabricators if thrown correctly, which is relatively easy to do.Hulks is much harder cause they move/are a smaaller target and you need to deal enough damage to take them down.Either way Strafing run is very good on Bots. They can two-shot Factory Striders if thrown correctly.
>>501256627Are you consistent with your aim and accuracy?If yes, then the answer is yes.If you aren't, then the answer is no.
>>501256627It doesnt matter what strafing run does to units. It one shots fabs and fabs are the only thing in bots that matter.
>>501256360>>501256445>>501256778Do you guys mind posting a webm that shows the angle/direction to throw to destroy fabs or do maximum damage to hulks?
Please arrowhead, just a crumb of content. Please give me a new stratagem or something.
>>501255875>>501256216This is the real story of SuperEarth. There is no SuperEarth without India. Only Indian men are real men.
>>501257318The angle doesn't matte for fabs, you need to make sure enough bullets hit the fabricator to destroy it, so throw the stratagem slightly before the fab rather than right on top of it.Similarily for Hulks, they need to be chasing you so their eyes are in the direction of the strafing run when it hit it. Throw it slightly before it reaches them so it hit sproperly, so lead them a bit.
>>501257318>FabsDoesn't matter, basically one bullet destroys it. >HulksHave it hit his face front on. i.e. hes walking towards you and you throw it at your feet.
>>501254056I don't understand why people chimp out so hard about being TK'd in this game, it's part of the game. More than in most co-op games where you really need to go out if your way to kill your teammates, if it's even possible, TKing in this game is part of the entier design. The developers intend for it to happen. No matter how good and coordinated your team is, it will happen eventually.
>Changed Gatling sound a million times>Still can't hear Tanks or Hulks
This mission needs a complete overhaul. Its a 20 minute snoozefest with no samples or anything. A waste of time.
>>501257706Only people in shit regions. In Oceania I have never once had anyone chimp out over deaths in any shape or form. Even this one time I headshot the same guy three times in a row (fucker kept running in front of my HMG what do you want me to do).

>>501251368ggs
Is Purifier really that good right now?
>>501260125Yes but I prefer the pistol so I can bring a more engaging primary for funs sake.
>>501256293It's pretty good against tanks, lets you finish them off after shooting them with one eat. Could probably do the same with a commando honestly.
>>501260125It's a good gun, but it lacks the utility of closing holes/ fabs so I don't really take it unless I'm running AC or GL
>>501260125it's the pre-automatic upgrade Scorcher except that it has a charge up shot that's as good or better than the plasma punisher with a far straighter trajectory, what's that tell you anon?
i still remember when AC was the cool guy weapon...
>>501260125>only primary in the game that can full magdump and kill a hulk vent, tank vent, or cannon turret vent before it can turn to kill youyeah, it's good
>>501261268but muh scorcher?
>>501251368ggs, get owned nerd
>>501261239Still is brotherman. AC still is my go-to pick on bots. Can't be beaten for sheer utility. It kills everything at the right angle and does it quickly with tons of ammo and a quick stationary reload. Bring some big boy stratagems for your AT and give 'er.

>>501262167What is wrong with it?
>>501259054HD1 was a lot harder because you had to stay on one screen and you didn't just have infinite strats to throw on every little thing
>>501262310There's no reason to take it over the torcher. They were supposed to fix the fire not sweeping through, and they were supposed to buff the damage too.
>>501260125It's hilariously godly against bots, if you do fully charged shots.Stunlock Devastators and Rocket Striders after the first shot.Shoot down Gunships in two or three shots, depending on if you can consistently target a single engine.Blow up groups of Troopers.The only thing it has trouble with is Berserkers if they get close, since the charged shot can blow you up, but you can just not charge your shots and shoot it like a regular rifle. And constantly charging your shots increases your ammo efficiency, I don't think I've ever gone below three spare magazines even while constantly engaging almost every patrol I encounter.
>>501262337>you didn't just have infinite strats>*looks at HD1 eagle strafing run*>10 sec CD, considered to be a good substitute for a primary weapono_o

>>501261019>as good or better than the Plas PunisherIt is so much better than the PP it totally renders it fucking useless. Just no point in having it in the game in the state it's in. It takes two direct full charge shots from the Purifier to kill a devastator or berserker at a range where the damage falloff doesn't really kick in. At the PP's effective range it takes 5 shots to do the same thing. Also with the PP it is an arcing projectile with gutted range thanks to the newly implemented drag on plasma projectiles. So the Purifier can do what the PP is supposed to do way better than it at its effective range in a much more ammo efficient way and remains effective at probably 5 or more times the max range as the PP can even be used. The PP was already underperforming but niche before they fucked with it recently now it's just a pile of shit totally outclassed in every way by every gun in all of it's related categories. The only exception maybe being the Slugger.

Or refuses to respawn me (usually after I die saving them) and I get called back in on the other side of the fucking map from my gear.I don't TK though I just bounce, games are quick and easy
>>501262486>There's no reason to take it over the torcher.The torcher deals half the damage of the flamethrower anon.

>>501261239>AC when you can flak against flying bugsGod I wish they would do more with flying enemies, of all the bugs they're the one I actually see kill people when they spawn on mass and are the biggest threat. But having a planet that spawns lots of them is basically non-existent now.
>>501262167>Halt>Fire armor >Flamethrower I have done nothing but burn enemies for two days and it has been flumerwurfen glorious.
>>501263491Torcher does 375Flamethrower does 425 and will not be fixed.Flamethrower has 12 seconds of firetorcher has 10 and 6 mags and better control.
>>501263586I'm hoping we see giant flocks of them on planets inside gloom. I'd expect that after being cut off from super earth support for so long many of those planets have become super colonies like meridia did.
>>501263406The funny part is, all they would have to do is increase its range.>>501263491The torcher clears chaff just as easily as the flamethrower, definitely is NOT half damage, and neither one can really deal with armor very well anyway. Torcher should be good for closer range shenanigans, crisper for oh shit moments, and flamethrower for medium range. None of them sweep through chaff like they should though like before the firebond patch.

>>501262527>dodging charger spam>charger>spamstopped reading there, this is a made up story
>>5012638582/4
>>501263828Flamethrower is supposed to deal like 800 damage or something. But it doesn't for some reason..
>>501263971Because when they "fixed" the damage and "buffed" it by 30%, they actually fucked it by 30% and no one seems to care.
>>501263726>>501263828Its 270 vs 450 and 25% less damage per particle making it substantially slower. Ammo is irrelevant, only a retard would run out. So if you want to stand there for 2x the time to kill a charger go ahead but don't pretend the Flamethrower is worse. BOTH are bad since neither penetrate enemies anymore since they 'patched' it.
>>501263858>picHear me out.
>>501263971>Flamethrower is supposed to deal like 800 damage or something. But it doesn't for some reason.schizo theory is that they just copy pasted torcher code ontop of the flamethrower, gave it 4 damage per tick, and didn't realize the damage per ticks was half on the torcher.>>501264046>Its 270 vs 450 Do you have like any proof?
>>501264042No, the game has collision issues with fire that applies to both weapons not just the Flamethrower. >>501264103Its been datamined and no I cant be fucked to find the original post. But neither can you or anyone else so just go in-game and try both like I have you can instantly see chargers die faster.
>>5012638583/4>>501264071I'm listening.
>>501264185There's at least one way to fuck this thing and walk away unharmed.
>Guard dog + Gatling sentry >Yellow kills every timeIt's that simple huh
>>501264181I know there's collision issues, I just didn't think I needed to post it for a fourth time. Chargers absolutely die faster, I don't think anyone disagreed with that, but they're such an amazing non-issue right now you won't be killing a charger with either one unless you're off soloing. There's still NO reason to take it over a torcher, when it does everything the flamer SHOULD be good at with virtually no realistic downside. Side note, I've been wanting the flamethrower to get a range buff before they fixed dot damage months ago. It should be an amazing high risk high reward chaff clear weapon. It wouldn't even need to kill chargers from the front anymore if it still swept through without colliding on every little corpse and limb in the way.
Reminder that we are getting a "Protect Super Earth President's Mansion" mission :)

Torcher and brap dog honestly not that bad. It saves you a lot on gas grenades. Just wish there was something to fix the stim deficit you get. Probably not a good build with groups of people, but it's really solid in solo.
>>501268353No, it's my unfiltered dogshit opinion. Not bait.
>>501268387You are better off running sterilizer, rover and torcher with flame res armor.Brap dog is only if you run gas res armor.

Whats the deal with Quasar? I see it in every fucking Bot lobby. I thought RR was the meta? Why are the pubbies so drawn to quasar?
>>501270841infinite ammo AT, why wouldn't you take it?
>>501270841No bullet drop means you can snipe fabricators from 300+ meters away without even having to engage bot bases on maps with high cliffs and good sightlines.
>>501270841>infinite ammo, zero maintenance anti-tank support weapon that is retard friendly>can wear diapershield with itThat is all.
>>501270841I guess becouse it's the simple AT option.>no planning and stratagem code inputs like EAT/commando>no positioning for reloads and ammo management like with RR/spearIt's the worst AT, but it's idiot proof.
>>501270803>run flamethrower>always lose HP due to the billion chip sources>have to build around it just to be moderately useful, like meme loadouts that involve abusing supply pack and gas grenades>get TKed all the time and constantly have to dead sprint towards enemies that die instantly to be somewhat useful>has no niche to it's name besides farting out flames to kill chaff that could be dealt with using a single gas grenade.It's not even constitution bad, it's just fundamentally shit.
>>501270841No ammo needed, no backpack required, no projectile drop. It's a solid pick.
>>501270841because you arguably have more shots than the RR in the long run. The charge time is pretty aids though, but you can bum a backpack off another nigger and effectively just have a better recoiless.
>>501271428>effectively just have a better recoilessVery wrong. Quasar can't shoot down dropships or 1 tap factory striders.
>good players say the quasar is for retards>retards saying the quasar is goodit writes itself doesn't it?
>>501271643Slightly wrong. Yeah you can't one tap factory striders or 1 tap dropship.But you still 1 tap hulks, and can use strafing run to clean up tanks and even factory striders if you get good shots.
>>501271643it absolutely can shoot down dropships.so can the EAT I 1 hit.you just shoot the thruster.
>>501271776
>>501271864how is he a retard?EAT kills dropships to the thrusterI don't use quasar but I assume it also works
>>501266263I really want to see free shield generator relays
>>501271864Anon... you can literally test this right now. Quasar and EATs shoot down dropships.
I think Quasar is very kewl if you run jetpack. Commando has too long of a cooldown and EAT gives you 1 shot every 60 seconds, unless you intend to return to the pod for another one (which defeats the purpose of mobilitymaxxing)Another thing - it doesn't ricochet, which can be big for hitting sides of turrets/strider belly at low angle.
>>501272012It can. But what this anon is pissed about is that it doesn't cleave the fuselage and destroy the passengers/payload with it.
>>501271982>>501272012The dropship goes down but unless it's passengers are all troopers it does nothing. RR can shoot down a dropship and kill all passengers on board.He isn't wrong about it, but he is a retard.
>>501270841It hits most of the major breakpoints that Recoilless does. If you're good at headshotting, you can still kill Bile Titans, Hulks, Impalers and Charger Behemoths in a single shot. Not taking a backpack slot also lets you carry the really strong stuff like Gun Dog and Jump Pack, the former especially is super busted right now. The infinite ammo definitely helps, you can be more spammy with it without worrying about picking up ammo boxes or hogging Resupplies. Things like blowing up cargo crate doors and spawners.It's definitely not as strong as Recoilless, but it's pretty handy if you're bored of bringing the strongest AT weapon.

>>501270841Its not the absolute meta weapon, so shitters and retards will claim that its bad.
>>501272423>moving goalpostsit kills everything smaller than tanks.hulks get trapped under it and they also fixed enemies being able to shoot through dropship corpses
>>501272423>claim EAT doesn't kill dropship passengers >get proven wrong>YOU ARE PLAYING ON DIFFICULTY 7 IT DOESNT COUNT REEE REEEEE REEEEEEEEEEelection american staying up late it seems
>>501272281To be fair this can be pretty inconsistent still.
>>501272690it's fully consistent. it kills rocket chickens, devs, zerkers and everything smaller
what's with all the fucking crashes man
Yknow the cursed thing about the recoiless is that it doesn't even need to blow up the drop ship.HE kills everything on board save multiple hulks, and HEAT will kill tanks and factory striders.
>extra padded medium armor provides no head protection>only the extra padded heavy armor does>this is all because armor needs to have over 100 armor values to provide head protection>doesn't factor in the added 50 from paddedFucking Swedes. People were right that Fortified is a top tier passive over it now
Maybe it's the moon map, but I got a substantial frame boost after this update.Like 20 frames.Maybe it's because I was on bugs and not bots.

>>501273009bugs generally runs better
>fuck it I'll buy the heavy flame armor, looks pretty cool I guess>Flames tickle me like gas does with gas armorGod why isn't it just pure immunity, it'd be so nice.
>>501272931Trying to target the passenger while the Dropship is still moving is quite difficult, particularly since in the case of Factory Strider you have to hit the belly for it to one-shot. Easier to just get accustomed to shooting the Dropship itself.
Man it feels good to be a teamreloadcuck. Even the supplyfags don't get this man (you)s.
@501273360no one cares

>>501273886its a real shame that 90% of games aren't worth preordering no matter what they give youunfortunately helldivers was in the 10%I would like to have the yogurt armor, but oh well
>>501272494No one gives a fuck about the ship itself, it's the passengers that need to die.
>>501272281>The dropship goes down but unless it's passengers are all troopers it does nothing.So what about this is misinformation?I guess it sometimes kills 1 or 2 devs or zerkers.

So Railgun is actually pretty good against bugs I've found.>kills Bile Titans and all Charger types with three fully charged headshots>or if a Charger's torso armor has been cracked, a fully charged shot into the hole is an instant kill>definitely not as optimal as a single Recoilless shot but still decent>kills Impalers with two charged headshots once the tendrils are down>kills Alpha Commanders with a single Safe headshot>can even blow up Bile Spwers with a semi-charged shot to the head or torso>with a decent rapid-fire chaff cleaner and reliable AP3 weapon, you can deal with anything leftIt's no AT weapon, but it damned sure does do a good job of making sure that you only have to worry about the small things. Just being able to instantly erase Alpha Commanders is a boon, and so is being able to help finish off Chargers and Bile Titans that have already taken previous damage. On one instance I was able to even finish off a Bile Titan that was chasing a teammate from across the map, just blasted its torso hole and it went down.
>>501273886Can't wear that armor without every other player commenting on it lmao
>>501275332the problem with railgun is the charge time on paper it's the best, but in reality it's not reliable. you have to take aiming into consideration. you won't always hit every headshot bugs can swarm you while you try to charge shot heavies can kill you while you focus on chaffand the biggest weakness: ammoon a faction that's more ammo-demanding, you're basically required to run supply backpack.
>>501275332I prefer the AMR on bugs.it 1shots every bug except heavies.8 shots for impalers on the forehead12 shots for titans on the head4 shots for chargers in the assit has 8 in the mag so you can kill impalers without reloading before the first set of tentacles spawn.it has some trouble with titans but it's manageable
I missed the player feedback poll yesterday, what was it about?
>>501273162Because Mr. redditor, 100% immunity would be broken.
>election over>thread immediately dies outyou can really tell who was posting the majority of garbage here.>>501270841old meta, outdated shit and misinformation, returning players who abandoned the game in march still thinking everything is the same and refuse to experiment with new stuff.every single pub game I've played, people are running 500kg shield quasar stun grenade. or just genuine retards who read a 7 month old guide and believe its the reality
>>501277570quasar is directly inferior to the recoilless but the best use case is as a lone wolf weapon because of the passive charge and infinite ammo, which is why in an average sample of quasar users you're most likely to see a diapershield baby who splits off from the team and rages when he gets reinforced half a mile away where the action is happeningit's not necessarily that it is a bad weapon (even though it is pound for pound worse than other options) it's just associated with an anti-social strategy that most users of /hdg/ are all too familiar with.
>>501278020Skill issue
>>501278020Just like in the simulations
>>501278309>WEH WEH WEH! I WAS PROMISED LIBERTY! SUPER EARTH, NERF THESE STRIDERSSSS!!!
>>501256293>>501256360DEPENDS on where you hit the hulk. If you hit them from the heat sink side you can instant kill them. Angle on from the back with some shots on heat sink is a tossup.Side or front is generally never an instant kill.Either way, very solid stratagem.
>The game is TOO EASY NOW! Arrowhead DO SOMETHING!

Ultimately, the higher difficulties become unplayable without some form of reliable AT. It used to be more than possible with OPS but since the swedes ruined that stratagem, I found it in my heart to accept EATs... They're only level 3 after all.

>>501266560R1, TAKE OUT THAT DROPSHIP
>>501300374The total defense capability of the Blob is somewhere around 100k HP for a single planet in a single day. The combined HP of Fenrir and Estanu was around 95k HP, but it benefitted slightly this time because the people not on Fenrir during the first 12 hours still contributed to Estanu, which made finishing it off slightly easier.We were already going to lose at least one planet by design, it was just a matter of whether or not we could defend one or two. The Blob can be hilariously uncoordinated at times.

>>501304345You can participate in MOs and get excited when we fail or pass them. Failure being progress slowing down, and people want that carrot on a stick. Its not like scripted- in fact it's barely scripted. There are like win and loss conditions, but we have a LOT of degrees of success everytime we complete a MO.Most of the time its not if we finish the MO it's how we finish it. Which is good. It means our actions have consequences and it's not black and white. Which is not railroading.

Bugbros, how do you feel about the stock punisher now that the halt is out? I'm starting to find that since tube capacity doesn't really matter as long as you're doing constant top-offs (very easy), the halt seems like it's just an upgrade.
>>501308005Punisher stagger just does what the halt does without the stun finagling. But honestly I shield away from shotguns because they're just too good in general.

>>501309898Any good support weapon shuts down Stalkers. Hell, Gun Dog by itself also does a damn good job without even needing to pull out your primary. Doubly so now that you can hear Stalkers approaching and prepare ahead of time.
>>501310361because punisher does the same thing without having to fiddle with the ammo types.If you're fighting 3 stalkers with a ton of hunters mixed in, you won't wanna fuck around with ammo types.Honestly though I don't think it'll something we'll see for a good while because there's just no natural way to counter them without stagger/stun.

>>501311943>bug planetsEh. Someone else will do it. Also the playerbase is too retarded to realize that if they all gangbanged Erata it'd win both defenses and take a planet back. More than enough time to liberate half a planet in 24 hours even with 2% decay.
D10 bots, any planetsteam://joinlobby/553850/109775242100198389/76561199586955078today we'll show them
>>501311596So your reds, your grenades, your support, your primary???
>>501311943>11>7>7The blob might actually have this
>>501311196>have multiple entry pointsMost objectives do this anyway. Typically napalm barrage users flounder on the objectives because they can't just throw it on one spot and win. They'll just throw it on the first line of orange smoke and be fucked. The breaches last short a time, are too spread out, and also come up too close to the objectives for the napalm barrage to be an instant win button. In fact most barrages are when compared to a support weapon in that situation.Personally if I want my 60x multikills I go with the MG, gundog, and orbital gatling for dakkamaxxing then just add in the occasional 500kg whenever a bile titan crawls out. It's more fun than throw and walk away.
>>5013125502/4
>>501311943Looks like the Blob is heading to Heeth and Bore Rock, since those are adjacent to the target worlds. Not a bad call on short notice.>>501312191At a 2% decay rate, it's not likely to be accomplished in 24 hours, since that would require the Blob to unanimously decide to gambit. Defending those planets directly is less risk and more than doable.
>>501311926>Started playing more passively with Halt, Stim pistol, ammo pack, ect >Realise I'm worth 20 minutes Went from 20m missions to 40m. Dear lord do people like to just meander around the void of nothingness shooting rocks.
>>501311196Solution is simple. Half bug breaches. Half new flying spore assault. Bugs rain from the sky in drop pods and cant be countered by shooting them. Pods also follow players, no running away.
>>5013127613/4
Man the Patriot would be pretty good if it had like double the ammo for both weapons
>>501308005I dont consider any other shotgun viable because the Halt can stun broods and chargers. You don't know bullshit until you clear a mega nest without a single kill, its simply more efficient to stun and run than waste rounds killing.
>>501313096Yes. I ran into three of them in the same lobby.The reason that your loadout in HD2 should be self-sufficient is that you cannot guarantee that everyone else on your team isn't a useless retard.
>>501312040>Have it default to stun, stun them, switch and kill, doesn't take more than 3 secondsIt actually does, like even if we say you insta-switch. Which you can, but it's pretty messy. Lets say you clip all of them with the shotgun in two shots. Then you swap to your Halt. You headshot all three of them with all your pellets. That's 5 clicks no matter what.Which is 3.75 seconds bare minimum. Punisher you click click click them, and they all stay back giving you time to react and kill the hunters around you and everything else. realistically speaking no one is going to be headshotting stalkers. - but I digress.I just think the fiddling with stun rounds is going to be pretty risky, and you're more likely to just whip out your support weapon to finish them off when they're stunned.
>>501313491But that annoys me because it means I have to do all the work.
>>501313602You catch on pretty quick.
>>501313550Nta but you are assuming you need to kill. People stay in groups of 4 or 2, and having one person just stun everything instantly including chargers is invaluable. Its no different than in HD1 where the same meta existed with a dedicated stun user ensuring nothing got close to the team letting people push aggressively.Does any other shotgun bring anything better? No, not really, you might shave off a second here or there on killing. But you lose the utility that overall makes you more effective. If anything Halt sucks because its too strong and another way to fuck over bugs completely.

I have a feeling we are going to lose this MO by one or two planets and arrowhead will get their excuse to delay the station even more.
>>501319498The truth is, the station was delayed from the start.

>>501320903Mine was Turing, that big purple fuck
>>501321657Wowie another entire month tweaking a spreadsheet and having meetings instead of working on actual content
>>501319498We're going to have 5/8 successful defenses by the end of this wave (adding Heeth and Bore Rock to the list), and three days left. So long as the Acamar barrier isn't compromised and the three MO planets don't fall, it's gravy. Worst case today, we only defend Heeth and Bore Rock fails, which still gives us three days to do four defenses.
Man I hope we get the clans soon, having small scale leadership would probably help bug divers make better decisions on what planet to defend/attack, like erata prime right now
>>501322218You sure we have bore rock? The blob went to heeth and not erata
>"guys don't extract, we haven't done everything on the map yet">fucks off to clear out an egg nest that was already completed
>>501322580At current projection we're going to clear Heeth with about 10 hours to spare, after which the Blob will shift to Bore Rock. The Bore Rock attack has less HP than Estanu yesterday, and we cleared that one with two hours to spare after defending Fenrir.Ultimately it depends on how organized the Blob is, but the combined HP of the attacks today are actually less than what went into yesterday. The numbers are there, they just have to be utilized properly.

>>501325951>anon's ninja loot wet dream
>>501325772They didn't even delay it when the Acamar barrier got broken and failed to be retaken on time, they just went "Oh, all this fighting stirred up the spores on Acamar and now we have more fuel!" and went on as normal.
>>501325951Its not MMO clans. I don't think the term Clan even makes sense desu. Its more like discord servers. We know for certain you can join multiple and I think the idea is you donate to multiple to grind up ranks within them. So probably its more like Clan A: Gives X benefitClan B: Gives Y benefitClan C: Gives Z benefit You join all three, donate resources, get passives/actives from them, then don't bother joining in any others because all the other clans also offer X, Y or Z depending on what they originally picked as their focus.
>>501326006I hope part of the Illuminate's big reveal is them just blowing up the DSS after players get used to it. Since the DSS will be used exclusively used on the bug front anyways, it will be in the perfect location for the Illuminates to destroy it when they pop out of the Meridia black hole. Blowing it up after players get use out of it and form an attachment would also be a fun story beat, in my opinion, get the player base whipped up into a righteous revenge frenzy.
There is no such thing as a woman Helldivers my friends. India will never allow it.
>>501326052Sounds like it could be fun to me>30 players in a clan who average an operation every 2 days>1000 credits are deposited to the bank in 3 weeksThen the guild master or whatever could create minor orders (kill bots, fight on planet X, participate in defense, etc. ) and the money would either go to the winner or be split based on contribution.>>501326238>we know that for certainGot a source for that?
>>501326550The problem with big epic advancements in the story is they need content to back it up and Arrowhead clearly don't have the staff to do so. They can't even do 2x cash shop items anymore, or a warbond with the same amount as content as the first few we got. Now they may have dialed these back to increase actual gameplay content releases but as cool as Illums and DSS explosions and big story events would be, I just don't think they have the man power for it. >get the player base whipped up into a righteous revenge frenzy.This is a big part thats missing for me too and while Super Earth being threatened or even lost outright and something big happens like we get forced to the edge of the galaxy with just the DSS would be epic, its not going to happen because they dont have the resources to do it.
>>501326238If we can join multiple that's pretty awesome, the general won't splitroon between a main clan and others

Leaked subtitles give no suggestion Clans are coming with the DSS. Also the DSS is resource capped for whatever the reward is for donating. https://www.reddit.com/r/HellDiversLeaks/comments/1gfcwym/oct_29th_subtitles/

AH is the best.
>>501326924>they need content to back it upWhich is why I was suggesting the destruction of the DSS being tied to the return of the Illuminates.

>>501331979The Blob only has the capability to defend two planets anyhow. Heeth and Bore Rock make more sense than Esker since they directly border the MO defense planets, while Esker leads nowhere except to open a path to Bore Rock (which the Gloom already borders).

>>501332787Again, there's no point in defending Esker at the cost of Heeth, because losing Heeth means direct attacks on the MO planets. We'll still get multiple simultaneous attacks over the next four days, that's plenty of opportunities.We'll end today with two successful defenses.

After 500 hours, doing silly shit like this in lowbie lobbies while also teaching them the ropes is a good way to keep the game fresh and fun. They're all hopped up on the democracy juice too so it's all in good fun.

>>501341197considering that bug oil are what powers our ship's FTL jumps, the terminids must have some biological capability to do the same
>>501341257Yeah ok, but they still have to show us HOW they achieved it, even if its easy.My personal theory is that There's no bug FTL travel. Terminid spores already exist everywhere on the galaxy, including Super Earth, but for them to activate and mutante into actual bugs they need to be in close proximity (on a galactic scale) of a psychic call of a Hive Lord, which is why it seems that Terminids 'invade' planets.

Pick a warbond (free or premium, doesn't matter). Now pick a page. You are only allowed to use the armor/gear from that page to do a D10. If the page is missing gear (like no grenades on that page) you must use default items to fill the gaps. What is your loadout?

>>501344347>>501344481As far as I can tell from the leaks the only thing it does it give one random booster for free and randomly does Eagle runs or Artillery attacks on enemies on that planet. You can also donate, but the donations are capped per day and we don't know what you get from it.
>absolutely overdefend one planet>then get disillusioned with the other two defenses because they're too far along to save, except you absolutely could save one of them if you just dogpiled it like beforeif joel didn't rig victories, there wouldn't be any

>>501343712Why do you keep acting like this is an Us vs. Them type of situation? The MOs are just there to give the player base a macro activity to strive for as we wait for them to finish developing the space station.
>>501346043Why did you create an entirely unrelated concept? There is no us vs them. There is content and thats that.
Alright, we need a new difficulty. D10 is too fucking easy now. Its pretty boring.
>>501346748There will be up to D15 when they get engine fixed so it can handle all the enemies

Choohe, automatons have out of bounds (map effect with no effect) artillery. They're upping their game.
>>501346748I want D11 to be super secret helldive, where all samples and rewards are confiscated on return to ship. That way no one can complain about it being too hard because there is literally no reason to do it other than the challenge.

>>501337520I am a bullpup supremacist and the improved Lib Pen is generally more ammo efficient. Before all these buffs the Adjudicator was my go to.People who can't use ARs pips are controller plebs.
>>501346748Yes but you can only do D11 if you have done 10 solo D10s.
>>501337520I used it for a bug game on d10. For some reason it feels like it takes for ever to take out a single alpha commander when that shouldnt be the case. The recoil wasnt as bad as before (though im running recoil reduction armour), and the ammo capacity buff is definitely appreciated but i was still running out very frequently. Another matter is the ergonomics, which isnt the worst yet can still be felt when making snap shots.I think it now uses the exact same calibre as the mg43, which should have made quick works of alpha commanders yet i still find myself using tons of ammo on dispatching these fuckers (even though the btk should only be 6!)It could totally be a skill issue, or maybe a team comp issue. This weapon on paper (and based on past experience) is good on bots though.Kind of interesting how a weapon that theoretically is an answer to many enemies turns out isnt a meta weapon. Is it because the ammo economy is bad? The recoil? The feel? Guess ill have to use it more.
>>501348938Sir....he said in 10 seconds...good points though
>>501337520The lib pen are better, more manageable recoil, 15 more ammo (that's 2 more dead rocket chickens), 150m scope. If the Adjudicator really want to stand out, buff the damage to 115
What's that? You're shooting your HMG at a hulk at an awkward angle? Enjoy your fucking MG with less ammo, shitty handling and a armor pen level down.
How would you fix the Reprimand?
