no digging allowed for five weeks editionPrevious: >>539365172>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 squiggers to spread Manager 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 better game, being a shared screen top-down shooter in the same setting.

>>539476879But predditors literally are one of the best sub factions we ever got. They had no real problems exclusive to the sub faction that any of the other ones got. Compare that to the Rupture Strain where it had genuine problems AND had non-stop bitching from release till now. That's why I always balk at people trying to misconstrue complaints about an enemy or sub faction being faggy or annoying as being "Too hard"Well what about fucking predditors? Predditors are genuinely one of the hardest things in the game and everyone loves them. Why did people stop bitching about about them after the first two weeks if the narrative is that "People hate difficulty"?
Why do I see so many retards on D10 taking solo silo (esp on bots) is it even that good?
Rupture strain was removed due to CPU (SEAF performance) and FPS (Firepower per Second) issues. It has nothing to do with dificulty.

>>539478649nobody knows. the very best case scenario is that you hop onto elevated terrain and buildings with hoverpack and pick between hvts and blobs. it still takes ages, and the game has essentially zero respect for the sanctity of elevation due to dogshit pathing.its a piece of shit like most of the weapons in every and each bond.

Already tired of botslop. Can Joel attack Hellmire already?
I'm having even more fun with the Solo Silo by comboing it with the Hover Pack. Even on Clasa with the great trees the Hover Pack is really helping with getting LOS on good points to target from a long distance.

I had a thought last night. Joel really didnt expect us to defend Super Earth and didnt account for Chinese nationalism. Every other faction has their "fortified" sector. Bugs have the Coom, Bots have Cyberstan, Squids have..... Alamak I guess? I say this because I was thinking about how were going to get bot forge worlds with cyborgs and Siege bosses. But I couldnt think of what world thats unique enough to even matters for illuminate to get their magic squids and potentially unique biome.

Railgun buff when? It’s cool as fuck but it just can’t keep up with all of the new shit/high spawns of massive enemies anymore, it’s pretty much completely pointless when you can take a quasar and kill things faster and this safer with no ammo concerns, and it’s cool down isn’t far off how long it takes to kill a lot of new big shit anyway.

They're going to do it to get revenge on the playerbase for succeeding within their managed narrative where they are nominally supposed to be able to succeed. Gucci will spam incessantly about the forced loss as if anyone is at fault but swedes, get ignored, and post child porn. Alternatively, the community will somehow force a victory, he will seethe about how botniggers 'finished last,' and then still post child porn.
>>539479596>have a not reach planet>xbots try and take it back>actually doing well >turn the invisible dial so they can’t do itLiterally what is their fucking problem? I can’t fathom how you could be such a joyless cunt
>>539480291It's either going to be Alamak or Alairt 3, but even then I don't think those planets will be significant faction planets for the ayys. Maybe just places where the new units are coming from, since they both have a ton of cities, so "lore wise" a lot of humans to play mad alien scientist with, but not the stronghold world.
>>539481802the "unsafe" mode is a stupid gimmick and it should be removed and just have full power in safe mode. maybe add an overheat cool down if you hold the trigger too long
>Remove the enemies cause the game runs like shit with them >Game still runs like shit cant wrap my head around this one
>>539482230>cant wrap my head around this oneneed to eat more surstromming.
>>539482230How many more times does it have to be said that this game's devs are absolutely retarded?
>>539482179Unsafe mode is fine if it did a lot more damage and actually had good visual and sound design for when it’s at the red line.
>>539482540the epoch beeps, whatever happened there?
>>539480659I think "Firepower Per Second" is just a joke, I don't think Arrowhead meant it as a comparison to frames per second. They didn't say the rupture strain were causing any performance issues, just that they're basically supposed to be tagging clients as reliably as they were tagging hosts.
In three weeks Justice will allow us to reach firepower per second levels previously thought impossible.
>>5394814062/4...
>>539479596havent fought squids in a while ya know maybe ill help these guys out
>>539482630The epoch beeb is okayish, you can let go a split second after it goes high pitched. But the railgun needs to be charged a decent bit more once the pitch maxes out, and the lights blur the fuck out at 80% so they don’t help much. For both once you figure it out it’s whatever you just go by feel, but what absolute dog shit game design.
>new content taken offline for 5 weeks>took their sweet time getting it outHoly fuck, does the sw*de know zero shame?
>>539482034If the xbots very slowly take some of the currently held planets off MO now, how will they have the big Illuminate cult reveal event revolving around taking those planets back and fighting the new units that aren't vootless zombies?>but why not have the squids start consolidating towards the untaken planets on the galactic rim to compensate, aren't squid ruins more plausible to find the further away from Super Earth we ge-it's very racist of you to assume swiggers can think
>>539482975Justice made more sense in the first game where helldivers were more grizzled tacticiool brits.
>>539483142do you think devs with shame would constantly release broken content and use their community as beta testers?
>>539480659>That’s gold lol !
>>539481802>>539482179>>539482540The Railgun is nothing more than a reverse Eruptor, they need to bend the knee and just make it a primary already and then replace it with a heavier shoulder fired Railcannon support weapon. Everything to do with Railgun not being good enough is solved by reverting all negative changes made from its original incarnation in HD1 and making it a primary like it was in HD1.
>>539483359The sw*de truly is a vile beast
I will now post the ultimate "help lvl 15 players with d6 bots" buildEagle strafeCommandoExpendable antitankWASP (thats right, you heard me)and whatever medium pen primary you likeWhy dont I have a 500kg? Because you are showing them how to not be a bomb/barrage chucking retard. The wasp is show them all the medium armor bots they run away from can be beat.
>>539483149It would be even easier >let them keep fighting for not reach >if they do good job guys you had your moment >but the squids have taken notice and are consolidating, looks like they’re planning something big dun dun duuuunBut no, let’s just stop them from doing something neat on the anniversary of halo reach with hidden modifiers. Fucking hate fighting squids but seeing them retaking the beach was cool
>>539480659r*ddit is truly something elseremember to thank AH for removing broken content instead of releasing functional content!
Posting ITT and not in the one on /vg/ because I am retarded.In general I find myself gritting my teeth when I play this game. The tone annoys me, the gameplay annoys me and feels aimless, I'm fine with the community, but I never come away from this game feeling happy, or even really satisfied. Is it just not for me? It's one of the only games I can currently play with my friends in any significant numbers.
>>539483590go take your meds, retard.
>once again, there is now LESS content in the game than there was a few days ago
>>539483386But the scamming faggot in charge of balance doesn’t want primary weapons to be good, he’s simply too retarded to understand that explosives are strong so the only strong primaries we have are because they blow shit up. >shoulder mounted Na, I want more powerful regular rifle style weapons because we already have a bunch of strong shoulder mounted ones. Just an even longer railgun would be fine, and a big ass bolt action WW1 style anti tank rifle for the AMR upgrade.
>>539483701And performance still sucks
So losing this MO will give us the Chrome bots, right?
Is into the unjust the worst major update so far?
>>539482034the resistance hasn't actually changed, it's more that the halodivers took their city and moved on which dropped them below the population threshold needed to keep the progress from rotting awaythis said it doesn't change how arrowhead seems to hate any hint of player agency outside the content drip railroad that is MO slop

>>539484095In terms of technical difficulties, for sure.But as far as the content goes it's my favorite.That entire Oshaune MO was pretty fucking top notch, really fun and difficult.
>>539483824>But the scamming faggot in charge of balance doesn’t want primary weapons to be goodwell that's easy, you just fire him, or better yet you riot firehose him with surstromming like he's a 1960s protester getting Nickelodeon Slime'd until he dies>big ass bolt action WW1 style anti tank riflenonsense, that's the Autocannon 20mm-chambered single shot breach action primary, AMR just needs to get buffed with deadly incendiary tracers that turn it into an anti-material sniper Coyote with some very nominal blastwave splash. a slightly snubby .50 cal pocket bolt action can go in the primary slot for all your primary AMR needs.
>>539484823A big ass anti tank bolt action sniper you need to go prone to fire without being flung back would be cool, give it thermite rounds.
We need more powerful single shot rifles. Like the constitution but good. Just feelsgood
>>539484931they'd have to actually fix thermite for that to work first and we all know that's basically impossible
>bots are doing a mining operationThis means we'll get bot cave missions...........................right?
just saw a guy refer to the ah devs as swiggers in the wild your influence is spreading
>>539485430are you sure it wasn't just a containment breaker?
>>539484915is that Rich Evans on the left? I thought he died of AIDS>>539484931>thermite roundstungsten core 20mm HVAP exists unfinished in the game files. rather than thermite sticky bullets, you give the primary 20mm breach action rifle the same APHE as the normal Autocannon without the ability to rapidly lay fire down, but instead of altfire flak you give it an AP5 super velocity round that does moderate to high single target damage like a poor man's un- to low-charged Railgun with the handling of a normal instant fire ballistics weapon, letting it chip heavies if poorly and maybe squeak some gradual kills on low HP weak spots.
>>539482179It would've been better if Unsafe was something other than "le actual damage haha", because why even have a Safe mode at that point?Like, if I were to design it, Safe mode would be just a bit under what Unsafe currently is. The Unsafe would ramp up the damage a bit higher and add some sort of other effect, like a damaging shockwave or being electrically overcharged or some shit. Where there is a benefit, but not so colossal of one that you'd always choose it over Safe mode.
>>539485583>damaging shockwave>electrically overchargedThe original Railgun fired stun bullets once upgraded, and since it would overpenetrate crowds until hitting something it can't penetrate effectively left a stunning shockwave in its wake.
>>539484931I support this. Reminds me of the tank hunter kit from battlefield 1. Giant ass single shot bolt action rifle. Max armor pen, high damage.
Bots D10For the extra challenge, we are going to be playing poverty divers.EATs are the only kosher stratagem, no eruptors or crossbows.Good lucksteam://joinlobby/553850/109775244192376541
>>539483306Only good rifle in that game other than Paragon. The Unstoppable quality makes it have unending blowthrough and AP-ammo lets you kill brood commanders who are very tanky.
Railgun would still be S tier if enemies actually had good weekspots, against all of the launch bots it’s great minus factory striders (which AT emplacement wipes out like they’re nothing and also fucks up bot drops and bases so it’s not like you’re sacrificing anything). Issue against bugs is muh durable damage and the charge time since we fight pred and now rupture so often, there’s just no time to charge the thing. It could be good against squids if it would just one shot body shot overseers.
