Doom&Gloom EditionPrevious thread: >>538983268>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 crossplay, co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC, PS5 and XBox Series X/S where players fight against hordes of alien insects, robots and squids to spread Democracy™. Players wage war on contested planets and their patience, each with a different biome, completing as many objectives as possible in a procedurally generated level while constrained by a time limit and their colleagues. With Joel's blessing, a planet can be defended or liberated, and the player is based if they combine their efforts as much as possible to Liberate™ the galaxy.https://store.steampowered.com/app/553850/HELLDIVERS_2/https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers-2/https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/helldivers-2/9mx9wn9dfpgt>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is a shared screen top-down shooter in the same setting.

Anyway to get the SC arrow mod to stop flickering or am I better off swapping to the Korean version?
FIRST FOR I WANT TO FUCK EAGLE IN THE ASS UNTIL SHE'S SOBBING
>>539056991This but with scavenger-chan
ATTENTIONI hate sw*denThank you for your attention, that is all.
ads in third person view is pointless when hip shots work pretty much as well, just do fpv and hip shots all the time
Will the fix the 500kg bomb?>won't kill bile titans if it lands on their face>will stop on the smallest of tree branches if it touches before reaching the ground>helldiver and bug nest kill radius seems to varyI think I've even seen chaff enemies survive it from time to time, might be the spaghetti code plus latency issues.
>>539056925There's plenty of things narrowdick could have done, there's still what, a couple dozen weapons and stratagems they haven't copied over from HD1? At the glacial pace they're going they'll finish porting everything over sometime coinciding with the heat death of the universe.
I want to facefuck Eagle and get the best deepthroat of my life, it needs to be worth it for when she inevitably murders me on the next drop
>>539057250I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow reverted the range buff it got a while back and people just didn't notice because the only people who would use it regularly enough to even notice are unfathomably retarded pubs who just take it because "Up Right Down Down Down xD big boom xddd"
Justice may be blind but Swedes are dumb.
>>539057250I never liked the 500kg and don't care. 120mm, OPS, and portable hellbomb all give less headache with consistently great results.
>>539057385Remember anon, DSS Eagles aren't your Eagle-1
>>539057515Collateral reparations
>>539057250It low key feels like we're never going to get another balance or fix pass ever agian. Shams is such a fuckhead and the fact that he said performance patches were never going to happen is frankly insane. The swedes cannot bugfix and performance fix as they go they've PROVEN they can't. Things like this will likely remain in the game until EoS. I really thought Nikolas might be a decent game director but so far it seems like he is just guzzling Sham's cum and doesn't give a fuck about the players either.

>>539058018The Destroyer upgrade that makes Eagle strikes drop an additional bomb only effects things like the Airstrike, and doesn't modify the 500kg at all.

>>539059018Sort of varies in my experience. Lately the spawns are endless no matter what you do, and if you try to kill an entire patrol homing in on you a last scavenger just out of sight and range will call in a breach.But I have had some D10's where I could walk into the mega nest and there was literally nothing spawned in and none of the holes triggered either, easy clear and egg find. I think the game's logic is just kind of a shitshow.

What is the movement tech in this game?
>>539059620WASD.
>>539059620diving solves everythingdive shots are mad accurate, they even ignore broken arms
>>539057689>>539058078Wait, that’s why we have a tea pun? Well now it all makes sense. They should add voice packs though it would be kino. Add the orignal brits, and then other nations in accents or native tongue. Would be cool as fuck hearing them all in a single game.
>>539059301bigger
>>539059990>retroactively add Helghast chud voices to killzone bond>add faceless Halo marine voices to Halobondyes or yes?
>>539059620Diving up hill is fast, that’s about it. This game has next to no mechanical complexity, it’s just knowledge checks and the knowledge is “I know the game is held together by tape so if I get a breach here and leave fast enough it will despawn” or “enemy patrols swan from the nearest nest and move towards me, until they enter my radar range and then they move in a straight line so if I use scout armor I can spot them and avoid them”.
>>539060128>add national voice lines >killzone and halo legendarily dog shit weapon warbonds give themed voice packs Might actually make them worth the money
>>539060105Nah
just started playing today, from what I can tell the only way to get actual primaries and secondaries is from warbondsif true, which one/s should I aim for first
>>539060332unlock Helldivers Mobilize first nub
>>539060332Yes the game is pay to win
>>539058078why do you want them to be british so bad? is it because you're desperate for your "culture"(lol) to have any relevance in the modern era?
>>539060298bigger
>>539060332Democratic detonation has the only two good primary weapons, servants of freedom has the only good side arm. Truth enforcers has a good shotgun for bugs, it stuns them so they’re easier to blast with a grenade launcher. 90% of weapons are terrible.
>>539059234I'm afraid it's not quite dinner time anon
>>539060505>yeah roger that mate for liber-teaAh yes, classic Norwegian speech. What the fuck is wrong with you. Original helldivers were all brits and sounded cooler
>>539060686>knife attack victims sound cooler
>>539060864Objectively. The HD1 voice lines are great, you sound like a fag in HD2.
Why the Japanese dub sounds more soul?
>>539061295they're silly as fuck and you 100% didn't play the game
>>539061390In Japan as far as I know they don't treat voice acting as a lesser forming of acting, meaning it's more common for """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""real""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" actors to show up in video games
>>539061390you probably recognize voice actors from one of your retarded isekai series or JRPGs
>>539061476They were just the right amount of silly in 1 and I played the shit out of it, I could melee dodge cancel around borgs like a pro. New voice lines are lame in comparison
>>539061520Pretty much the same shit with england, japs and bongs have a big theatrical culture and actors are supposed to do their dues at them. Must be some wired inbred island thing

>>539062240Unironically the Justice would be cool to see as a no-frills heavy pen primary with nothing fancy to it and some considerable (but manageable) drawbacks. Other stuff that would be cool>Black and yellow armor warbond (maybe five pages)>Tanto and Trident>more customization for existing weapons like mags and muzzle devices (thermal scopes, mags for Tendie, Pacifier, Coyote, Judy, Amendment, suppressors etc)>Constitution gets stripper clips and a scope mount>Helldiver colour scheme unlockable for existing armour setsThis is all extremely concentrated hopium, of course. In truth, I expect we will get one (1) cape and a bot MO where we have to kill a whole bunch of them.
>>539061814robutt-poster has posted since then, at least once.

>>539063252>Constitution gets stripper clips and a scope mountthis will never happen. just give up.
>>539063252>Helldiver colour scheme unlockable for existing armour setsThis is what the game truly needs, everyone matching is cool as fuck and it really can’t be that hard to implement. Black and yellow should be the default for everything including colabs, just give them a yellow stripe or whatever.

>>539060438but enough about darktide
>>539065425"Balance" is ruining the game. It's kind of the opposite of Warframe, they made you into a god, sort of watering down the experience. But for Helldivers, they can't stop nerfing shit into the ground and making it all feel like shooting piss at enemies. I never see anyone equip the railgun, used to be one of the most useful stratagems in the game.They're definitely staring daggers at the Coyote even though they keep saying they won't touch it.
i saw some jin roh looking dude what armor is that?
>>539065920You probably saw the black trvth enforcer armor.
>>539065617You're right. We've added enough demo force to open containers and destroy illegal broadcasts now. Additionally, we've tightened up the spread even further and the epoch can now be reloaded while moving.

>>539068106This looks so much better. Why did they have to ruin it?
>>539062210They aren't. These dev stream are almost always the poor wagies that work in areas that have nothing to do with gameplay decision being forced to play by their managers.
>>539068093In my past 3 operations I've been on teams where the pubbies are averaging 6-8 accidentals each. GOD DAMN. Literally the only time that the niggers pull any meaningful weight to the fight is when they drop an orbital napalm on a bug breach, but they still drop it close enough to the team that somebody usually fucking dies.I actually just fucking LOST a D10 mission for the first time in ages just now. I tried to carry those niggers through a raise the flag mission but then I got fucking splattered by an ultimatum with 0 reinforcements left and it was GG.
I will never own the machete.I will never own the Killzone set.
>>539065879What I hate most are their fucking egos. They made some mistakes. That's to be expected. Just fix them. But they won't. They'll sit around on D4 and be content in the superiority of their vision until the pressure builds to the point that the entire community is tearing down their doors with pitchforks and then FINALLY they'll relent and make a big fucking deal over fixing shit before being eternally butthurt and "unable to deal with more drama." Bitch the drama was of your own making.

>>539073212I mean that’s the crux isn’t it, urbie can shit on bugger threats where mobility is meaningless. Helldivers tries to set out mechs are shit because they’re meant to be thrown away after one use, when we call in 100s of millions of super dollars worth of ordinance in each each mission while jet setting around in a practically personal ship.

>>539075641>does he know?
>>539075708Kind of, it wasn’t comfortable to do on kb&m. But let you dodge and weave around enemies while stabbing them, made the constitution a very strong weapon since you could melee the rank and file while having 5 strong piercing shots for tough targets or well stacked trash. Was very fun to do as well, required a lot of mechanical skill to pull off while also working with your team which was mandated by the shared screen.

>>539074129Well there's already jets and fire so I guess the logical third option would be a sniper faction. Give their shield devs a big long range cannon like the bunker turrets have. Rocket devs would have the equivalent of the giant tower turrets on their back instead of their rockets. They'd have to have their ai tweaked a bit so they don't try to constantly approach and instead just move sideways and even backwards to maintain distance and flank. They'd have to be really accurate but have a low rate of fire too. Breaking contact with concealment (smoke stratagems) would be the play against them. Once you've closed the gap they wouldn't be much of an issue except for the raiders which are all armed with shotguns :^)
>>539075860Not really, quick matched into a blitz with ~3 minutes left. I just thought it was funny and slightly infuriating that the harvester decided to wriggle his way to block the ramp after dying.
>>539066081he looks like a thumb
>>539075708You could do it on PC as well, it wasn’t to turn around faster but to fling your diver in a direction of your choosing after melee attacking. It gave you a level of mobility the game wasn’t really made for, but the weapons that could actually use it were sub optimal so it became a high skill high reward playstyle. It turned a sub par weapon with a bayonet into a real playstyle if you could do it well even on diff 15.

>>539075142it's to do with projectile lifetimethe short of it is each only one projectile at a time could deal damage while it was inside a hitbox. so if you spin it around and cause lots of flames to pass in and out of a target very quickly, you are actually dealing more damage than you would by maintaining a constant stream of fire. if a pyro was burning you, you could back up against a wall and maximise the lifetime of each individual flame and the pyro would essentially deal fuckall damage

Thanks friends!!!!You're the best SC-fren
I’m new to the game, are there any guides I can follow for each faction? I have a lot of trouble with bots
>>539082478its clearly attached to her well maintained pigtails you 7 to 1 soap using pleb
>>539080189Leaves clouds of gas behind like a stream of gas grenades constantly going off. In fact, a gas grenade launcher would have been a way better stratagem.
>>539082027because you only have an effective engagement distance of like 10 meters, every enemy that can call in reinforcements does it instantly, everything that doesn't have light armor is heavy armored, you (usually) only get one use of your support stratagem, and enemies actually spawn fast enough to overwhelm youthat's not even getting into being forced to share the screen with up to 3 other mongoloids
>>539077956>he only let me choose missions like executing high value assets and launch ICBMThat's fucked up. I wouldn't wish those missions on anyone
>>539082726I recommend gundamboi (decent production quality), commisarkai (larper but he's fun), and antique nova (metafag but explains his choices well) for good sources
>>539082726You can watch some of Takibo's gameplay for metafag ideas and tips. He's a solo player that plays on the highest difficulty. Learning to play solo will help you hold your own as part of a team.
>>539082726What part are you having issue with? Generally speaking bots are all about using cover and precision shots, since they can engage you from a distance
>>539070242>The teams have been autobalanced!
>>539083076>>539083242ty anons>>539083363Bots just feel overwhelming, hulks run you down and burn you like it’s nothing and factory striders feel impossible to kill sometimes.
>>539083734Recoilless is pretty much the go to, quasar is good too but can fall short. Like the rest of the game it’s a one and done answer. Shoot them with a recoilless, run away if they not drop and work on a different objective. That’s it
>>539083734With hulks you want to take them out quickly before they flush you out of your positions, either blast them with typical AT or flank them (you can go prone to quickly evade their fire) and blast their vents.Factory striders will shred your team if you don't take out their offensive tools. You can take out their chin turrets with med-pen and their main cannon with AT to leave it defenseless, or shoot it's stomach with med-pen. Otherwise just blast it with AT (preferably the head) until it dies
>>539083734What I do for bots is I take shield generator relay (big bubble shield) and a rocket sentry. Throw sentry down, throw bubble after, then play tower defense or if it's in a good position just leave it to do work. Those two are on a fairly short cooldown and will solo a factory strider every time. It will also dismantle all bunker turrets from an entire side of a Fortress, allowing you to get close enough to throw airstrikes or orbitals. Also destroys command bunker defenses. Shield relay is such an underrated strategem because it creates defendable positions in what would otherwise be a killing field.
>>539083734You can one shot factory strider by shooting its eye with Recoilless Rifle or whatever the SPEAR aims atEAT/ quasar cannon requires two shots to kill(?)
>>539084301>>539084182can you abstain from posting tips unless you've got at least fifty hours of in-game time
>>539084416no
>>539084416>doesn't know about sentry supremacyI have 850 hours in missions.
>>539083734Hulks have a lot of solutions. If you have AP4 (Heavy penetration), go for the eye slit. It's flimsy with AP4 and instantly kills it. If you have AP5 or higher, aim for the main body because chances are if your support weapon is AP5 or higher (Rated as Anti-tank), it will one or two shot it to the main body. If that's still too much, you can aim for the legs with Heavy Penetration in a pinch to disable/slow down the Hulk while you reposition.As for Factory Striders, there's no real universal solution. Take Anti-Tank and shoot them in the soft belly if you can reach it safely, or go for the head. It has head armor that breaks open then exposes the head itself, but if you have good enough aim you can go for the glowing eye which is part of the head and unprotected by armor, letting you bypass needing to bust it open first. The turrets are the most dangerous aspect of it, so make sure you try to get rid of them with medium pen weapons or higher (They're immune to explosives damage though) before you try to kill it.

>>539088363AT mines are quite nice since other divers (normally shouldn't but sometimes swedish incidents happen) don't set them off. Not to say you should toss them INTO your team, but if you make some distance from the breach you can put it between you and your team and still be relatively safe even if it's a little close while protecting them from team mates throwing gems and shit into the breach.Gas mines are great though. Throw them into a breach or use them to create a buffer zone that while annoying and harmful to your team, doesn't instantly kill them if you happen to have a bad toss or they meander into it.
>>539088363Gas mines are definitely not a meme. Drop it on breach as it starts and you're getting at least 30 kills out of these mines without having to deal with the range of napalm barrage and you can just stim through them if you want and if the breach is on objective you can still complete it rather easily using them as chaff deterrent.
One shudders to imagine what repulsive chud gestates within this general as we speak
>>539089874The diggers and dragon roaches are badly designed, unfair bullshit =/= difficulty
>>539089962Looking back, ever since I started using gas mines I don't remember the last time I used the standard orbital gas strike, it kind of gets eclipsed as far as set-and-forget area denial go.
Oshaune as been the most fun i've ever had with this game even with all the bugs
>>539090414Stop trying to evade your stim taxes chud.
EAT is much more convenient than Commando surprisingly. Commando might be 4 shots but the cooldown is much longer and you have to aim the thing more accurately. Landing 2 shots on a moving target is more difficult than one quick rocket and there will be times you miss the weakspot. Not to mention you're not actually getting rid of that much juggling because if you're calling down an EAT you're going to be using one immediately and taking the other for later.
>>539088385huh

>>539091893I just stopped giving a shit and just use what I want. lib conc is so fucking bad that I just abandoned the idea of leveling everything to 25
Do you think Super Earth would send a recover team to pick up all the unused EATs and leftover gear on the map after a mission? It seems extremely wasteful to just leave them there.
I appreciate the functionality of backpack stratagems but spending slots on them feels bad. They should start being poi gear on d10 already.

Let's be real.Hivelords are cool.But we need a real boss fight for Nabatea Secundus, something way bigger, more durable and smarter than Hivelords.
>>539092891The only other upsides that the LibConc has is its durable damage (30) and it being unaffected by deflection angles.Tbh, giving it nuts durable and/or medium penetration would probably make it fine.

>>539092968Grenadiers are really fun to clump together and nuke.
>>539094284Eh, at 50% durable you are dealing like 47 damage. Which is basically the same as a liberator, but at a much slower rate of fire. That's why it needs to be faster or harder hitting.

>>539074129not a new faction, but simply a new enemy thats a mission modifier like roachs or hivelordsAutomation railgun snipers. They will try to keep a distance of over 100 meters from a target, and if they arent actively being shot at, will start to fire at you until you break LOS for more than a few seconds, which they will reposition and try again. Since a sniper would be a deadly enemy, only one would spawn at a time. Too many, and you'll get a problem on your hands after ignoring them for too long.

You could even figure out a way for bugs to have a little acid spitter hunter that can stick you from afar.

>>539099916Arc as a damage type is pretty powerful (if they haven't fucked with this nade's AP values). Too bad these nades don't break spawners, so they're delegated into the meme category.
>>539082726>BotsThere's two general approaches, and a couple rules of thumb.Your two approaches are use a precicion based weapon to tag bot weak spots, or use something medium pen, ideally explosive, to clear them. The first relies on range, cover, and positioning, the second relies on either reflexes or tankiness, and situational awareness. Do not play bots until you have a primary that can fill one of these two roles. You cannot engage with bots with the stock loadout above low levels. A marksman rifle, or reliable medium pen primary are required. As much as it's good anywhere, bots are where the Eruptor truly shines, if you have it. Bots are generally the faction where heavy armor is at its best. Heavy armor makes you survive a lot of dangerous shit, and makes you very resistant to single stray shots. Fortified Heavy in particular makes you damn near immortal in the face of about half the faction. For bots, you NEED reliable AT options. Probably two. Thermite, EATs, Quasar/RR, this kind of shit. 500s can work, barrages are somewhat unreliable.Bots as a faction want to pin you down. Do not let that happen! Stay on the move, have your escape options in mind, or be ready to just push through. Bots are slow, if you fall back, you will almost assuredly have time to call down supplies and gear before it's a problem again. Bots give you the privilege of dealing with chunks of their base infrastructure from afar, in a way bugs and illuminate rarely do. Take advantage of that. Use 500s to blow shit up, snipe fabricatorsfrom across the map.Detector towers are your priority 1 to deal with.Learn to look for canon towers, and deal with them. Remember that shooting one alerts it to you, and it usually takes a few shots with your AT of choice if it doesn't hit the radiator

>>539099916they're quite good actually
>>539099916They're actually pretty solid.If you have spawners covered (eruptor, crossbow, grenade pistol), and want the harpoon, the arc is a natural compliment to this. Gas is generally better (as it usually is), but, this is probably the next best thing to gas
just starting playing against botsis it worth trying to take down drop ships? I feel like they often take several rockets, and they drop the bots really fast...
>>539100647>>539100819>>539101106Oh that's interesting. I've been using the thermites since forever but I think I'll switch to these for a while then.
>>539101432The chair turret and the rocket turret are pretty good for taking them down. I don't think using your own ammo is a particularly good idea at higher dificulties. Mostly because there are too many coming in at once. you are better off prioritizing tank drops than all the ships with support weapons.
>>539101432at worst bring a rocket sentry and let it deal with them
>>539101432If you can reliably hit the thruster while it’s heading for the drop flare, go for it, can't? it’s a waste

>>539102037Comedy!
>>539101432it's more productive to take something that can kill bots while they're still on the dropships. autocannon flak is probably the most convenient way to do this, but GL, GP, airburst launcher, and emplacements work too.
>>539102037A tale old as time.

>>539104774I really don't think AMR has a dps problem. Its damage per round is actually insane and you can magdump it too. It's pretty much everything else that sucks about the gun.
that laser quadratic cannon or whatever is fucking good, holy shit
>>539103779>What is this fucking thing fooorIt's for finding in missions. No, really. It sucking is a tax you pay for a "free" support weapon. You simply shouldn't have taken it, 5 head. No, this doesn't really make sense, but that's the logic. Also why the railgun and arc thrower are shit.The Stalwart is okay, and the flamethrower is good in defiance of nerfs just because of the way it works.
>>539088363Gas mines. They are the only mine that doesn't kill you when you step on it, and it gives you time to stim out of the cloud. They are also basically tiny gas grenades that persist on the map until extraction. My personal favorite combinations are gas mines + either orbital napalm, eagle napalm, or Tesla Tower. You lay the mines on a breach first, let the bugs collect in the gas cloud for 10-15 seconds, then drop the orbital on them for maximum destruction. Or you just stick a Tesla Tower in the middle of a mine field and watch everything chasing after you immediately disengage to chase the tesla into the minefield. It prevents bug heavies like Chargers from instantly targeting and destroying your tower. Mines + tower are my go to on city maps because they are the only sentries and mines are the one startegems guaranteed to land where you throw them instantly instead of waiting for your ship to reposition.

>>539103779>doesn't require a backpack slot to be useful>can be reloaded on the move>doesn't take 10e1000 hours to be reloaded from empty magAlso AMR does more raw damage on impact
>>539089565It seems to kill more things when you drop it. I've gotten a few 20+ kills from a 500kg on a breach, but the Silo will give you much larger numbers for some reason. It also respawns pretty fast, and you can delete things from across the map. It's also fun to Silo solo fags (((accidentally))). You can also guide the missile like a commando.
>>539089962Gas mines are also great when combined with a supply pack and gas resistant armor. As long as your team knows what you're doing and does eagle or orbital you, running around inside the gas cloud mowing enemies down with a machine gun (for me, it's Stalwart for bugs and squids) is peak fun. It also works well for a setup to portable hellbomb a drop. Gas + gas resistance makes it significantly less of a suicide mission, and you can plant the bomb right in the middle of a swarm while they wander around inside the cloud.
So I hear alexus is hard at work changing weapons that deal explosive damage into dealing "projectile damage" while making most enemies immune to explosion damage.Can I get a QRD?Should I NOT be shooting the hivelord with my RR into its exposed flesh? Do I need to change AC to flak instead of AP?

They need to nerf the Slugger. It makes every other shotgun, and short range medium pen primary a waste of time.
>>539088363Mines in general are "generally" better than turrets, for putting between you and the enemy, and keeping them away. The dispenser itself has the same aggro mechanic as turrets, so they are also handy to just fling out at random, to fuck patrols.Of course, the main problem is your dipshit teammates will run into them over and over and over and over in a conga line of death. You WILL watch the same retard die in the exact same fucking mine field three or more times in a row. You WILL call put your minefield, and watch someone sprint to it and die before the ping even expires. You WILL put a minefield in a place that you will never need to go for the rest of the mission, and watch two teammates wander off that way and die. Thus, they are also a host weapon, because if that retard is the host, they will probably kick you. Tag the dispenser if you care to, sometimes it helps.Anti personnel are kind of a meme. Incindiaries functionally do everything they do, but better.Incindiaries are probably the most generally lethal mine. Kill small enemies outright, larger ones will light on fire and die in short order. Gas mines are probably the best overall choice. Won't instagib allies, they can stim through it and leave. They are much less immediately lethal than ap or fire, but are functionally a lot more to regular enemies. Heavies may eventually waddle out of the field, but regulars and mediums will never escape, something that will occasionally happen with the others if put directly on breaches/drops/ect.AT mines are weird. Only heavies set them off (usually), though you can set them off yourself by shooting them. They get better the higher difficulty you go; when a breach has like 6 chargers in it, these will reliably go off. Probably the best option for factory convoys that doesn't take a warbond, as well (orbital laser is still breddy gud). Unspeakably ass vs illuminate.
>>539107152>Halt, Cookout, IncelBreaker, Variable, SneedShotgun are all better
>>539106810>Do I need to change AC to flak instead of AP?I once took out a freshly armor broken Hive Lord in 10 seconds using full-auto flak rounds and a team reload. Flak does an absolute shitload of damage to large light/no armor targets.

>>539107902Those all have less ammo, reload slower, some lack round reload, they have less stagger, and you can't hit shit with them past medium range. Meanwhile the slugger has no weaknesses. It smashes through bugs, it drops most bots with a single shot or headshot, and basically just has no points of failure. The slugger is good and reliable in every situation, usually functioning just below more specialized weapons that suck ass at anything besides their specialty.Slugger can stunlock almost anything. It needs to be giimped for balance reasons because right now there's no reason to use anything else.

>>539106810Inner meat is immune to explosions (probably to prevent it from instantly dying to hellbombs)Outer shell is fully vulnerable to explosives, but only transmits 10% of damage taken to main. Splashing plates with explosives does help chip it, but the goal is to crack them open and get meat damage. The mouth is fully vulnerable to everything, and does triple damage, but can be hard to hit.Plan of attack is use high damage explosives to crack the armor open, then fuck it up with high damage/sec other weapons, and eagle strafes. Flak would be better for autocannon into the meat, since the shrapnel does okay damage, but really, the autocannon is more for phase one of cracking it open. A bit of coordination on the team for this is actually ideal, since what makes up an all-in-one hive lord killer build is pretty damn unviable for higher difficulty bugs in general, and playing just one part of it is fine. Autocannon for the outside, and eagle strafe & whatever primary for the inside is fine contribution from any single player, especially if they're also getting shit done on the map, killing other heavies and stopping breaches, and all the other important shit that needs to happen. If you want to build more for worm hunting, you want a patriot exosuit, eagle strafe, and probably either recoilless, Quasar, ect. Magdump patriot rockets into a single plate if you can, use recoilless/whatever to help burst that first plate down, so you can start chewing meat ASAP. Getting the first plate cracked open is the single most important step to actually killing it, so just using an AC to contribute to that is actually really helpful. Just make sure you're focusing on a single plate, and are coordinating with everyone else in terms of which plate you're targeting. Opening multiple is nice, especially if they're next to eachother, but the first one is most important, so all those patriot bullets can go in, and those eagle strafes can start chunking it down.
What if... We take some of the stuff that makes Pelican armor... And use that to make our mechs out off...?

>>539109398Mein nigga, AC APHET can't pen the outer shell, the AC's only role in a hivelord fight is bursting the meat down with flak
>>5391094722/4
>>539109528Assuming each armored "segment" of meat is a part (and I'm pretty sure it is), a hellbomb going off at the base would probably score a clean hit on 4 or 5 segments, plus like 3 or 4 more taking partial from edges of the radius. PLUS the 10% from double that many armor segments, call it an extra regular segment and a half.A close range hellbomb would be doing that 10k like, 8 or 9 times over. So 2 hellbombs. Unless you got a god placement on it right as it curled up to puke everywhere, then it actually would be just one.

>light sissies can get ONESHOTTED by a single pouncer during acid storms

>>539110382Well, yes, because the inner meat is immune to explosives. And that's why. 8 would be on track for my theory, because it SHOULD be 15 if you're just doing it 1-1, it taking less means it's hitting more than 10 armor plates each time.

Idk who needs to hear this, but if you bring Gatling Barrage for Hive Lords on Hellmire, make sure you know where your destroyer is. Don't just throw the beacon at the ground next to it.

>>539119805Pls our QA team can't handle 10 minutes of working per month
>>539120169Zero. It's very clear where their priorities are. Somehow, it has to get worse before they'll pay attention. It has to actually break people's hardware, and still RUN but not CRASH at like 20fps constantly with stuttering and freezes, with disappearing enemies and even more invisible instakills.
literally every update feels sloppier than the last
>>539120374>It has to actually break people's hardware>and still RUN but not CRASH at like 20fps constantly with stuttering and freezes, with disappearing enemies and even more invisible instakills.But Anon we have all of this already
>>539119805>>the game now bricks hardwareI only know of a single example and it was likely caused by a problem with the latest windows update, not the game. if the game really was destroying computers surely there would be more of an uproar with more examples
>>539118313Sometimes when I'm bored I host a public game, bring 4 reds and then kick everyone once they drop my new backpack and support weapon.
>>539120374We need another review bombIt's clear when they'll pay attention
>>539120547Clay's SSD got bricked because gameguard had his rig freeze while recording, then corrupted the recording to blow up to a massive size and that then did the bricking. None of this would've happened without gameguard is the point. Besides there's tons of other reports of the game shutting down PCs or hardlocking them. Granted it's not bricking, but it's also not very healthy for a game to be doing that
>>539112898Even ignoring the spall liners, no. Small arms fire isn't doing SHIT frontally vs a modern MBT. At best you might be able to break some external things like break some exterior cameras or damage the active protection system. You aren't doing fucking shit to the crew compartment of an MBT with a 50-cal.
>>539120534It's not this bad yet. Older hardware is dying, but modern hardware is still able to play the game with decent frames. I have a 5800x3d, 16GB RAM, 4070 12GB and turning down some of the YUGE settings and running at 1080p with Nvidias new framegen cheating, the game runs pretty well until it doesn't. I think that consistently running like trash is actually worse than crashing out. Crashing just resets you, but people get PISSED if its minutes upon minutes of horrid frames.
>>539121052Nigga has a minimum thousand dollars PC and has to "turn down settings" and play with frame hallucination so the "game runs well until it doesn't.Fucking GRIM.
>>539121052Idk negative reviews are already flooding in and player numbers are dropping
>>539121052>Older hardware is dying, but modern hardware is still able to play the game with decent framesyou say that but for like 8 months I ran the game on a GTX 970 and got around 45 to 50 frames pretty consistently without any stuttering or slow downs. people would complain they would get less and less frames every single patch but my shitbox that surely would have been affected the most by it never experienced any loss of performance. is this people running shit on maximum settings? or people running it at like 196 FPS and then complaining they lost 10 frames?

The Verdict is out:>https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1nao9qf/done_with_the_rupture_strainPlebbit hates the diggers

>>539121527Yeah of course it's bad but it's not bad enough for normie sloppa consumers to care.
I just joined the Helldivers discord and was Immediately banned. I'm glad this keeps happening.
>>539122114You can steamroll the diggers with any weapon in D10, it's literally just a massive skill issue, especially considering the spewers are very fun to play against.
wut FOV is gud
>>539121969Are you retarded?
I just tried the slugger and both the sway and the rate of fire are terrible. The damage isn't even that good prolly to the 200% drag factor.How can people even like this shit?
I uninstalled when squids invaded earth and I couldn't get above 30-40 fps in those shithole missions.Good to see things haven't changed.
>>539122737ate city missions desu they are boring and look bad
>>539122667No one has liked it in a year
>>539122252Discord is serious business, no memeing allowed
>>539122667It's all I use most of the time. Just shoot things in the head and that's all you have to do. It also stunlocks almost everything, and you never run dry in the middle of a fight because you can reload shells super quickly. The range and accuracy are also great, especially if you crouch
>>539122863They fucking sucked major shit and caused me to burn out like never before.Illuminate are such a boring sauceless faction.
>>539112324>>539112491If you run arc thrower, be aware that the orange lines in this 9000 hour MS paint image depict the relative danger zones. Do not fire when a teammate is within the orange lines. It's like a narrow cone leading up to your desired target, and then a fuckhuge wide cone behind the initial target.But if you are a shitter that dies constantly, then you probably don't want a support weapon that you'll constantly be losing due to death. I'm going to recommend running EAT and sentry spam. Which sentries depends on the faction. Assuming that you're fighting bugs, I'd bring the following stratagems for a shitter:>EAT>MG sentry>Laser sentry (gatling if you don't have it). I recommend laser since it's less likely to cut a teammate in half if you place it poorly. Also theoretically it can solo a charger.>AC sentry (or rocket).Bring some kind of shotgun and thermites. Basically always call down EATs. If you don't have one on your shoulder, then call down a fresh one. If your team pauses for even the barest of moments at an objective, then call down EATs.For the sentries, throw them FAR AWAY FROM THE TEAM to the SIDES of the battlefield. If you imagine an analog clockface where your team is the center and the enemy position is 12, then you want to ideally toss the sentries out towards positions 10 and 2.AC sentry has higher DPS. Rocket sentry has greater range and sustained damage. Both want to be far away from the enemy.

>>539124797>"Anti-tank rifles" were basically only effective against early WWII era tanks.and even then only against the weakest parts of them or only against their tracks.which is exactly how the AMR in game performs against tanks. not sure if that guy is just posting retarded bait or is genuinely retarded

>>539125115Which t34? The late war ones were better armored than the early war ones, and I highly doubt it was penning them frontally through the glacis plate or turret face.
I have combined the power of the West and the East
>It's the armchair generals who think that 50cal sniper rifles shouldn't be frontally effective vs main battle tanks.???
>>539124042>>539124243>>539124440Maybe we could have other planets being active if we weren't constantly having week long MOs where all we do is defend. And then as soon as we take a couple planets (and thus open up new worlds) we are instantly shifted to another front and all the gains erased in an afternoon.Do you have any idea how fucking crazy it was to come back after a year and the big events that are happening are yet again on Hellmire and Crimsica. I practically champing at the bit once we get to go YET AGAIN to Estanu.The bot front seems to have greatly expanded to the sides but that's fucking moot since that side has entirely collapsed and we hold all of two worlds there.At least the squids are completely new, both in units and worlds. But no one ever wants to play them which is mind boggling to me.
retard here no bully:Never played this game, is there something i should know regarding systems/crafting or whatever there is that i can fuck up that i should know before start playing?
>"an AMR shouldn't be able to penetrate the front of a tank">ok, nobody said it should>"but they shouldn't be 1-shotting tanks because X Y Z">ok, nobody said it should>"modern battle tanks blah blah blah"Damn bro that's crazy. Anyway there's no reason the AMR shouldn't be able to damage tanks in a reasonable amount of time by aiming for the turret cleft or by hitting them squarely from the sides
>>539126013nahbut you're better off unlocking a good warbond firstand the control group one makes it easier to farm currency for the subsequent ones

>>539126157Thanks>>539126208Yes, i have no idea what is in the game i like to play as unspoiled as possible, that was just a placeholder word to get across what i mean
>>539126013don't bring two eagle-1 stratagems, because they all share a single cooldown when the eagle-1 goes to restockdon't bring two stratagems that both take up a backpack slot
>>539126369>don't bring two eagle-1 stratagems, because they all share a single cooldown when the eagle-1 goes to restockbro eagle doesn't go to rearm until they're all depleted
>>539126326>as unspoiled as possibleThe game has no story, there's nothing to spoil.
why dominator so good
SARR WHY ARE WE STILL DIVING
>>539126602that's the problem, you have to expend them all to even start the cooldown on the first one you fully expend
>>539125743>At least the squids are completely new, both in units and worlds. But no one ever wants to play them which is mind boggling to me.They feel way harder than other factions. Maybe a skill issue on my part.
>>539126607I mean general what is in the game
>>539126260THey are on edge right now because of the Kirk thing. Can't be seen to supporting political violence. Yes its stupid, but take the lump and move on.
>ffw to next tuesday>no update because they combined it from the one 5 weeks ago
>don't bring two eagle-1 stratagemsI think this is the most commonly repeated bad advice I see. Its been here since near launch and no matter how much you demonstrate how wrong it is, it keeps coming back.
>>539126965honestly kino way of playing the gameif I were you I'd start solo and go up in difficulty until you physically can't complete the mission (or extract) by yourself, and only then start cooping
>>539127416Thanks for the advice, i try to do that
>>539127416What if I hit my physical limits at 'trivial'?
Anyone who doesn't wear B-01 tactical armor should be teamkilled immediately and mocked relentlessly. All groups should look like the group on the box art armor-wise.
>>539126950Part of it is the terrain. The inability to have good sight lines is kinda restrictive, and god forbid its at night and you can't see shit. But also, they are just new (and no one plays them) so you don't have all the same developed reflexes/tactics that you have against the other 2 factions.Arc thrower rapes everything they have minus the harvestors
>>539126013ignore what >>539126369 said about taking multiple eagle strats. if you take multiple, expend all the charges for one of them, and want to get them back but still have charges left on another one you can just manually send the eagle to re-arm. the eagle is a powerful, versatile tool with multiple different strikes. if you have even half a brain you can manage to send it to re-arm during the periods of downtime between fights where you don't need any eagle call-ins if you really think you're going to need some expended ones
why no SC arrow wtf pleas ehel

Why did this game succeed and darktide shat the bed?
>>539127860>actually good gameplay and not just a reskin of L4D2 with skyrim combatgee
>>539127860shooting feels good
>>539127860Because nuhammer (since 2017) is lame and gay and isn't grimdark anymore, therefore it has lost the soul of its original material.Helldivers 2 carries on the soul of its original material (HD1), therefore it succeeds.
>>539127860I dont like how claustrophic Darktide feels personally
>>539127860its a fun game, despite the devs best efforts
>>539127646I do think all the free base armor sets look the best, can't beat matte black and yellow. Though I do think the helmets look a bit too much like an airforce pilot
>>539127860Darktide lacks contentAlso I'm of the firm belief that the outrageously obnoxious cash shop lady unironically killed the game for many people
>>539126950Fleshmobs just are very taxing on ammo supply.
>>539127724The arc thrower feels like shit to use compared to the eruptor. Me likey big boom.
>>539128308How does this game keep getting content despite also being a 1 time buy?
>>539128448People slopping for warbond, this game is a pseudo-subscription game for normies. Only the fringes like /hdg/ bother to farm credits
>>539128407Arc thrower fucks your ass
>>539128279You should be raped.
>>539127860every darktide mission is identical to the last one, they tried fixing it with special modifiers but that didn't change anythingalso, no build variety, fun weapons get neutered, ranged gameplay is ass and melee isn't as good as vermintidenot to mention it is a downgrade in every aspect to vermintide

Goddamn I love the SLUGGER. Nothing else feels good except the SLUGGER. I want to keep shooting the slugger forever. It's good against EVERYTHING. It can even kill titans and dragons if you shoot the mouth it is so good
>>539127860Because darktide has characters talking about gay ass primarchs and primaris marines. Normies know that shit is ass. Helldivers 2 has starship troopers kino, which normies know is soulful.
>>539128704For me personally its really the ranged thingPlaying ranged feels like ass in this game even with the dedicated sniper classI dont know why they did that
>>539128407Well, you can take both you know. Talon would make a good secondary.
>>539128602Don't threaten me with a good time ;)
>>539128892why is everyone on this website gay? i can't go to any thread without seeing some fag talking about how he wants to be raped up the ass
>>539128815>It can even kill titans and dragons if you shoot the mouthVid or didn't happen
>>539129135It works but it's not really practical because you'd have to dump tons of ammo into it, same with shooting their juicy asses. But sometimes if it's already almost dead, you can finish it with the SLUGGER
>>539127860Helldivers 2 cash shop>currency can be earned ingameDarktide cash shop>currency originally going to be earnable ingame, Tencent made them take it out>cash shop is run by a character who constantly insults the player, yaps on your radio, and hangs out in a spot in the hub that you regularly walk past
>>539128879>talonSorry paypig, I don't pay for super credits. I farm, so I save my limited supply of credits for warbonds that are actually useful. I hear people saying chemical agents offer good utility, yet I also see the argument for Freedom's Flame.

IF you didn't glance at the reply.

>>539126013i'd recommend you stick with one eagle-1 stratagem purely because it's annoying to keep track of charges and manually rearm them even with 1000 hours in the game. Keep it simple and learn to play the game.Always bring at least one stratagem to handle tanky units. The EAT-17 launcher is perfect for this.

>>539126013Don’t listen to 95% of retards here, also this anon >>539131265 correct. Just playing the game is the best way to learn about it. You don’t need to buy a warbond because you’ll have Helldivers Mobilize! unlocked automatically and it’s a really good one for starter equipment, but if you do buy one I’d suggest waiting until around level 12 so you really have a feel for which will mesh best with your playstyle.

>>539131846With that and the other upgrade it shaves 10 seconds off EAT and 20 off NEAT but the most useful part is making newfriends walk down the hallway to look at their upgrades

>>539132882That sounds like too much fun, have a civillian extract mission instead.

you know things are bad when this nigga's check clears
>>539133330If I could get a B-01 variant for every armor passive I would be very happy.Swedes should make a new free Warbond that's just pages of B-01 but with spare ammo, B-01 but with spare medkits, B-01 but with additional armor plate, B-01 with a more padded undersuit, B-01 with idk.

>>539133953Tbh I'd actually spend money on that sort of warbond. It'll never happen

Anyone here like the Cookout? The stagger is a godsend.I'm on Xbox, only started last week, I know fuckall but I'm having fun
>>539133586Brasch is fucking pussy who has never dives
>>539133797Who’s this gaywad
>>539134796Cookout has been a lifesaver for me fighting those bitch ass hopper bugs (I’m also an XBabby).
>>539135094Likewise. It's a little weak, but the burn makes up for it. Have only been playing duo with my brother though on difficulty 6 however, but it's fun here.
>>539134806Reported to Ministry of Truth for spreading seditious rumors.
>>539134796basically all fire weapons are good, it's a very strong attributeironically the flamethrower is probably the worst of the bunch, but even that's not bad
>jump pack>portable hellbomb>warp pack>supply packIs there a more honest loadout?
>>539134229it's fun and looks cool. decently strong but you'll probably want to pair it with a supply backpack because it just devours ammunition
>>539135273I’ve been running d5 solos and d10 with my buddy, and I find it useful on both. The only loadout change I make between the two is bringing a RR rather than EAT at d10
>>539135552yeah I'm honestly kicking you off my lobby
>>539135405Yeah! The problem I faced with the Torcher and the flamethrower was those jumping bugs (Hunters?) could still jump and hit me (even though they'd die immediately after). So I settled back on the Cookout instead. Good stuff.
there are unironic lulcows who think this game is a milsim
>>539135742such as?
>>539135594I do like the RR, but I've been using the Autocannon as well, and that seems to fit the balance for us two. The EAT does seem to perform better when we use it though!
>>539135742only arrowhead thinks that>>539135845the bringer of balance™
>>539135742It’s milsim adjacent
>>539135928who?
>>539135742it's milsoul.
Sorry but if you waste a stratagem slot bringing a support weapon, you're getting kicked from my team. You can literally find those things all over the fucking map, bringing one just because you have a favorite or you're pretending to be a Space Marine or something is a waste of my time and makes you a burden on my team. Don't take it personally.
>>539135742it's milhouse
when you bake make sure to get rid of that helldivers 3 shit
>>539135552>EAT>NEAT>commando>portable hellbomb>increased reinforcement budget boosterWhat's the matter? Afraid of dying?
>>539135924I actually haven’t played around with the autocannon, I might need to give it a try.
>>539136015iykyk
>>539136264It reloads faster than the RR (if you use the backpack on yourself), and has a few shots in the magazine (instead of one), but it is weaker. Still closes holes though!
>>539136138>no Eagle Cluster>no 380 barrageAmateur.
>>539136017zamn... I like that....
>>539136519I'll end the mission with all the team deaths and the most stratagem call-ins.
>>539136421I’ve heard AC flack rounds are beastly against the squishy parts of big bugs too
call me autistic but I get wet when I see shit like this and not just spawning in some random patch of air 4 feet away from the ship
>>539136658They are. Combine that with fire from the Cookout (or w/e you have at hand, napalm) and you're golden. It's fun, though I'm stuck to D6 with my bro for now - will try higher when I manage to convince my other bro to play it haha
>>539136264Oh I love my autocannon. Overkill? Oh absolutely, but there's no kill like overkill. I love watching them pop like overripe grapes. It's even more satisfying to catch them before they spew on my teammates. I often notify my team of where my anti-tank emplacement is so they can kite heavy units towards me, making sure they're prone before firing.And honestly, darling, what else even compares? A dinky little assault rifle? Please. That’s for tickling their armored hides, maybe making them stumble a bit. Explosives? They make a pretty boom, I’ll give you that, but they’re so... impersonal. You don't get to savor the moment, do you? You just lob it and hope. With my baby, it's a symphony of pure, unadulterated destruction. Each THUMP-THUMP-THUMP is a personal invitation to oblivion. You see the light leave their eyes, or rather, the light and the eyes, as they just disintegrate. The way their hulking forms just... crumble into a shower of shrapnel and goo? It's art, I tell you! Pure, glorious art.Other weapons? They might wound, they might disable, but they rarely erase. My autocannon doesn't just stop them; it turns them into a fine, red mist, a cautionary tale for any other big, ugly brute thinking they can waltz into our space. It's the ultimate 'go away and never come back' message, delivered with extreme prejudice and an absolutely divine thump-thump-thump. And my team? They adore me! No more panicking when a hulking beast stomps their way; they know Auntie Autocannon has them covered. Just point them my way, sweethearts, and watch the fireworks! No nasty surprises, no lingering threats, just a pristine, enemy-free landscape. And a little bit of... debris.
>>539135405Flamethrower is better if you abuse floor flames and only directly light heavies and slow chaff.

>>539137383All I do at work these last few days is slack off and think about Helldivers lol
>>539137117No can do. Shams hasn't finished his dinner yet!
>>539137461Yes Shams good one
>>539137461whats up fatinator
>>539134578Pretty sure they wanted to keep vermintide's good melee combat system and make it equally important in darktide
>>539137416Honestly, it's just such a mess right now, isn't it? Like, you'd think there would be a bit more variety in what's effective, but nope! Just throw explosives, darling, and you're golden. And don't even get me started on the bugs; they're just awful and completely ruin the fun. We really deserve better, you know?
>>539112324If you cannot play the game, and want to just helpBlitzer, Slugger, or any of the incidiary shotguns are ideal. Just run flank defense, and ping anything you can't put in the ground in a single shot. You don't need to be a good shot or aim to do this, just point at them and shoot. Stim pistol (if you have it).Grenade doesn't really matter, gas and thermite are the best as usual. If nothing else, take frags, and be the one to put them in holes. Supply pack Bubble shieldVariable, run by preferenceMG or rocket turret (or both), make sure to throw it reasonably far away or behind something if you don't trust your placements. Don't let them rot on cooldown, drawing aggro and killing patrols is worth it. Eagle strafe. Hard to miss, comes out quick, directly in front of you where you throw it, to kill heavies.Eats. Your team may not notice you dropping them for everyone, try pinging them to confirm they're for everyone.
>>539136658>APHET260 durable + 150 explosion = 410 damage per shot>Flak150 durable + 190 explosion + (30 shrapnel fragments x 35 durable) / (however many hit so probably 30-50%) = 340 + ~400 = 740 damage per shot
>be me>new Xbox player>go on youtube looking for guides on good loadouts >every single youtuber recommends using shit that I don't have and calls every single warbond that I do not have "mandatory"Bros I'm still leveling up the default free warbond why the fuck are they recommending shit like gas grenades and senators and double edged sickles to every player. Are they developer plants? Are they paid to try and convince new players to spend money on super credits?
steam://joinlobby/553850/109775243912228540/76561198027168760willing to run d10 anything but I'm mainly hunting for samples and for credits
>>539137863they're just herd animals. the starting gear and the free warbonds all have A and S tier stuff, it can do anything you want. Only get the other ones if there's something in there you really like, but you won't really know what you like until you play for a while
>>539137416Unno depends on your support, cause id say light pen beats explosives out.
>>539137863I'm the Cookout Xbro from above, you don't need to spend money if you're willing to spend a little time instead. Just do D1 missions on desert-type planets (Phact Bay is one) and search for the POIs, I've found several 100 SC bits doing that solo when I had time (but nobody to play with).As for which one is "mandatory," no idea. They all seem good - the only ones I've tried are the Freedom's Flame one and the Control Group, and they're both fun.
>>539137461What’s for dinner tonight, benchod saar?
>>539137863the starter gear and shit you get from the free warbond is perfectly fine for any task
>>539137863They're retards, the only warbond you really need aside from the free one is Democratic Detonation because explosive weapons are universally useful
>>539137863nothing is mandatory as long as you are not completely brain dead just take a look at the warbonds you like and buy then when you can im yet to spend another cent in this game after buying it
>>539137863the base liberator is good on every difficultyat the end of the free warbond you get the scorcher which is just an S tier gun
Bros Helldivers isn't even fun anymore. How did they manage to kill their game AGAIN?
>>539138353you're retarded for posting this btw
>>539138353Just play something different. It never stays fun forever, that's why there are other games.
>>539137863Honestly the standard liberator, redeemer, impact nades, eagle strafing/airstrike/napalm and EAT should cover all your needs for a while until you unlock more toys to fuck around with
>>539137592>Scams yourmoney whenever hes asked about PC performance
>>539137863You literally don't need any warbond, all they have are non essential sidegrades and buttfuck ugly armor for the most part. Grind through Helldivers Mobilize get your 700 SC and once you have your first 1000 SC through normal gameplay pick whatever warbond fits your vibe and that's that. I don't plan on ever spending any money on credits.
>>539138463There are no good games though. Nothing is good.
>>539057250>drop a 500 on a mob>obliterates a bile, a couple chargers and most of the mob>2 or 3 tiny bugs in the center of the blast somehow sitting there in the crater when the smoke clears unharmed amongst the burnt corpses of the much stronger enemies that died
>>539137592do you think this jeet eats with his hand
>>539138524Then take a break from vidya. Do something else with your time for a while, come back in a month or two.
>>539138485Sorry, heres the fixed version
>>539138609No. I am a gamer. I will keep playing games and I will complain the whole time.
>>5391381023/4
>>539137863Helltubers are universally fucking retarded. Punisher is good—not great, but good and easy to get fast from Helldivers Mobilize. I’m also a big fan of the Cookout, but I don’t really find a lot of utility from anything else in the warbond it’s locked in. I’ve actually gotten a lot more out of the Liberator Carbine in the Viper Commandos WB.
>>539130953>Darktide>Hard
>>539057406>>539057428>too cool for the big bombpretty gay honestly. you like dicks. you need my cock in your ass and my fists in your throat.
>>539134796It's as good as the punisher but it also lights bugs on fire. What's not to love?
>>539138720That's the spirit. She's out there somewhere, just try (pirate) a bunch of stuff until you get there.Or just do something else. It'll feel fresher if you give it some space (if you're a coward like me)
>>539138482peacemaker mogs the redeemer btw because it can headshot voteless
>>539138809lib carbine is good but it's basically a just slightly better liberator, no reason to get it when the rest of the warbond is a meme
>>539138868Show your havoc rank
The super store also gives you good value. Want peak physique? The armor's right there.>but you need the ultimatum and democratic detonation THAT IS ESSENTIALNo it isn't.
>>539138353Idk what you’re talking about. The only problem rn as far as I’m concerned that I have no idea why more people aren’t complaining other than me isn’t the enemies or guns or whatever, if you’re scared of bile dragons you suck. The problem is the maps where 90% of the map is a cave. Idk if it’s a glitch or a feature but Strats do not work even when they should and come down on the roof most of the time, same when you get reinforced, you can’t type Strats (except reinforce) when you’re 2 inches away from where you want to throw the ball and have to be in that spot and it won’t even come down on that spot. Or if you exit the cave you can’t throw Strats there either because you’re at the edge of the map. Objective Strats come down on the roof. The whole thing is fucked. Caves sound great on paper but their implementation, at least when the entire map is a cave, is fucking trash.
>>539138463It's just slop to play with friends at this point. I don't play video games most of the time recently anyway since most have become corpo moneygrub slop these days
>>539138868Is there a harder coop game than darktide on the market rn?
>>539138982I'm not buying anything from the super store until I buy all the warbonds, 15 years from now. It seems like a trap for impulse spenders. You can get one (1) item for 400 SCs, or you can get 20 items for 1000 (-300) SCs if you're just a bit more patient. I'll just keep doing missions thanks bitch
>>539138982The super store's a fucking scam. Warbonds are better value.
>>539138982Just buy the Viper Commandos warbond and you'll get light peak physique armor (better), a meta booster and the best light pen AR.
>>539138892It's great! I thought the "light penetration" would be a problem but the fire-effect and the massive knockback/stagger are godly. Bugs went from a nightmare to fun , though that might just be because it fits my playstyle haha.
>>539139148League of Legends
>>539139148As far as I know, no. Havoc especially when it launched, required proper team coordination and pre-planned builds. Everything people here want but refuse to play it because it filtered them and they dont want to admit it.
>>5391381021 slot. We're doing bots.
>>539137863Most power before warbonds comes from supports and reds. Outside of the scorcher.
>>539139148BroforceIMAGWZII (I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT!!!1)
>>53913920720 items out of which maybe 2 are useful
>>539138970I like the Bushwhacker a lot, and Experimental Infusion is excellent. The ergonomics and melee boost from the armor set is awesome too, but you could also get that from the superstore armor.
>You're in the showers with your fellow buffdivers>You've had a tough day killing bots, the grime is really difficult to get out>You help your fellow buffdivers by washing the parts they cant reach>Suddenly the door to the showers slowly creaks open>A lone leandiver enters>He introduces himself, but he seems scared, aloneWhat do you do??WHAT DO YOU DO????
>>539139465And why wouldn't you? It's not like the game offers any meaningful progression or unique stat bonuses that differentiate earned gear from something you just swipe your credit card for. Who needs to feel a sense of accomplishment when you can just look exactly the same as someone who spent hours grinding, but with less hassle? It truly is a marvel of game design, ensuring everyone feels equally... purchasable. And let's be honest, if you're not running the Bushwhacker, are you even trying to have fun? It practically plays the game for you, which is great, because who wants to think when they could be winning? Experimental Infusion just sprinkles that extra bit of "I don't need to aim" magic on top. It's almost as if the developers want us to just turn our brains off and enjoy the perfectly balanced, bug-free experience. Truly, a masterpiece of player choice and varied gameplay.
>>539138973>wtf is havoc rank>fatshark actually decided to update their game in the past 10 monthsgood on them for returning from their vacation. idk about havoc rank, but it was piss easy on launch max difficulty
They should make a planet/biome where using the jump/hoverpacks is basically enforced.
>>539139502I spin 360 degrees and moonwalk out after realizing I’m on the SES Ram Ranch
>>539139607Pee pee poo poo
>>539139645>Never touched havoc>Trying to imply darktide is easy
4th faction should be the predator. Just one incredibly decked out alien hunting you throughout the mission as you try to accomplish your mission. Also indoor bot missions.
>>539139323aaand it crashes immediately
>>539139905it should be aliens IMO
>>539139905I thought that rebels might be good. A separatist faction. But that might conflict with the Automatons too much, or the devs might be too frightened to have us wipe out actual humans (even though we do that to ourselves all the time haha)
>>539140124>>539140124>>539140124^^^
>>539140136>aliensWe already have illuminate and terminids
>>539137863Use low cooldown and forgiving stratagems like EAT and the MG Sentry to deal with heavies by using the MGS as a decoy. Use Medium Armor with the Extra Padding perk (starting armor) and think of it as Diet Heavy Armor. Use Medium Medic Armor of you want Heavy Armor Zero.If what you're struggling with crowds on bugs/squids, try the Punisher and Guard Dog with the MG Sentry.
>>539140163Fighting humans is boring as fuck.
>>539139905The fourth faction should actually be a race of reptilian/amphibian monarchists whose space travel is slightly more advanced than Super Earth’s and who use plasma weapons that mimic 18th century firearms. Bonus for komodo dragon berserkers with poisonous weapons.
>>539140369It's hardly original, is it? But it might make sense given the... state of Super Earth, and all that. No ideas other than that, but having the other three factions come into conflict with each other would be nice, especially if we dive into the confusion of it.
I want to fight space wizards
>>539140751Magicka crossover sounds dope desu
>>539139849>dude you forgot about our new difficulty level from our dead game!!!>nevermind the fact that they added said difficulty because it was originally piss easyI mean, yeah? Darktide just felt like a shittier version of L4D/Vermintide on launch and is probably inferior to Vermintide to this day i'd imagine.

>>539077323To saveTo saveTo save our mother To Save-
>>5391452322/4
>>539139216DependsSometimes literally all you want out of a warbond is an armor passive, and sometimes the bond itself doesn't have that passive in the armor class you want. If all you want is the Truth Enforcers medium armor, then there's no reason to buy the bond, when you can spend less and get the armor anyways, for example. Or the Butcher set, which is a great armor, with no real analogue in the warbond at all
