Previous thread: >>542068523>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 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 Managed 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/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.

>>542149146the pod can kill a heavy, and each EAT can also kill a heavy
>>542149191
>>542141383It's not generally recommended to use red stratagems to kill tripods for a few reasons:>their shields will fully absorb the overflow damage from one single big hit, so a lot of big strikes get cucked by the shield>damn near most of their body is 100% immune to explosive damage, so you need a big fuckoff explosion radius to even scratch the bits that are vulnerable>in broad general terms, the overall composition of squid enemies places less emphasis on bringing anti-tank weapons and more on anti-medium/anti-light. You can delete tripods pretty easy with most AT weapons, but 90% of the time you'd rather have a machinegun or grenade launcher for dealing with fleshmob/overseer spam.You can kill them with medium pen weapons, but it can take some time to land enough shots on target. This is especially troublesome since squids in general tend to pressure you with voteless and fleshmob spam that can make it hard to land consistent shots on tripod weakpoints. This can be troublesome since the tripod can regenerate its shield in the interim period where you and your teammates are pressured by more pressing threats. When you finally get breathing room, you need to first pop the shield again. I HIGHLY recommend taking the time to destroy tripod's shield generator (horns outlined in blue. You only need to destroy one). They're fragile and quick to destroy. This way any teammate can deal true damage in the future whenever they get a chance.The primary weakpoint that people target are the hip joints since they're visible from many angles. The feet are another noteworthy weakpoint that is more fragile than the hip but harder to hit. The pyrotech grenade in particular is exceptional at damaging the feet weakpoint, and I'll target the feet with medium pen weapons to assist pyros at attacking the feet. Finally the eye is vulnerable to light pen weapons, but only the Variable assault rifle truly excels at exploiting this weakpoint.
What is your baseline build, /hdg/? For me, it’s>Twigsnapper armor & helmet>Executioner’s Canopy>LibCarb>Crisper>Jump Pack>HMG (max RPM)>Mortar Turret>Eagle 110mm Rockets>Experimental Infusion
>>542149359>he takes the same loadout on every missionhow absolutely pedestrian
>>542149359everyone who speaks ill of my FRV is lame and gay
that's bait
>>542149504>baselineMeans things can and will be swapped, but that’s the usual.
>>542149359Baseline for me is probably:>Medium unflinching armor>eruptor>talon>Pyrotechstratagem choice depends on the mission type and enemy faction. The quasar, strafing run, MG sentry make common appearances vs a lot of opponents, but not necessarily at the same time.
my wife chino is so cute
>>542149637I agree. I enjoy firing completely uncontrolled bursts from the HMG like a 40k ork as we careen around and explode.
>>542149282>their shields will fully absorb the overflow damage from one single big hitWhy do they die to a hellbomb with their shield active?
>>542149282Does the orbital gatling or orbital airburst do well? They have pretty low cooldowns and they might just do enough to deal with them.
>>542149981haha, nope!
>>542149637You're not cool for bringing that glitchy piece of shit every time and also you're a fag for sperging out when someone doesn't get in your coffin on wheels
>>542149359>B01>Liberator>Senator>Frag>EAT>OPS>MGS>Shield Emitter
>>542149637I'll keep riding in the FRV, but the track record doesn't look very good. For every one time that riding in the FRV works out fine, 9 times at least one person gets killed in a terrible crash. I honestly think that we should just walk, but I'll keep humoring you.
>>542149769Yeah, I’ll swap the mortar for an MG or Tesla on squids, and the jump pack/libcarb for shield/SMG. Grenades are really fluid for me, my usual go-to is thermite, but gas and basic frags aren’t bad.
>>542149981Orbital gatling isn't horrible against it, but you have to catch them being retarded and standing mostly still
>>542149840>bad shot and terrible driverSuper sad!
>>542149981>orbitalsNah.
I wish the Peacemaker was good
>>542150178How am I doing both at the same time, anon?
>>542150119I think an easy solution for the orbital gatling would be for it to track enemies in the area instead of just unloading into a small area. Not saying it would help with harvesters, but I think it would just generall make it better. Like a turret but it's your destroyer in the sky.>>542150291A 20 round magazine would be a good start. As much hate as The Warrant's auto aim mode gets, its you can turn it off and still have a 13 round magazine with medium pen you're actually getting the full damage against all the light units you would use the peacemaker against. Pistols in general could use customization, like a stock or an extended magazine.
I just like deadeye so much bros. I can't stop bringing it everywhere
>>542149981Gatling can kill it, but it's kind of unreliable at it. Due to the low cooldown, it's worth throwing gatling at them if you opted to bring gatling for other reasons, but I wouldn't bring gatling for the express purpose of destroying tripods.I do like bringing gatling to squid missions, but I use to target large groups of smaller enemies, to lock down streets, and spawn camp squid drops as they disembark from the UFO. Gatling is also kind of useful at destroying warp ships that are positioned in places where you can't comfortably get into position to attack the door with grenades/eruptor. But this is all generally on normal squid maps. I don't like bringing reds to mega-city maps.
>>542150601it's one hell of a gunhope they never nerf the amazing stagger
>>542149970The retards probably walked too close to the hellbomb and got it within the shield prior to detonation. It's not hard to see tripods shrug off hits from 500kg/solo silo/OPS when their shield is up.
>>542150576Orbital gatling really doesn't need anything, it's already great and has an extremely low CD
>>542150078Based and basic equipment pilled
>>542150291it is though
>>542150053the moment I stopped try to get passengers and used it as a really expensive x4 mag mobile HMG emplacement, was when it became a staple of my loadout. the only problem is that sometimes when I use the gun, randoms decide they want to get a dui and flip my whip>>542150086I am Ryan Gosling, and most stupid deaths are bad drivers or stopping for too long in front of a harvester, usually because someone who's trying to get in has auto-vault still on and tries to fuck my car
>>542150601I just want a speedloading>B-B-B-BUTI don't care. Speedloaders exist for levergun and it's defienitely going for a modern/future looking lever gun and not a blue steel walnut old style lever gun. Give it a speedloader and it's my favorite.>B-B-B-B-BBUUUUUUTDCS is still better at the end of the day, and I don't want them to nerf the DCS just so the deadeye is "just as good."
>>542150819>Orbital gatling really doesn't need anything, it's already great and has an extremely low CDThey should remove the swede jank where gatling decides to deviate the point of aim for one burst by 15m towards the nearest friendly.
>>542142292GGs
>>542150981You could just keep track of where your ship is on the compass after the first use if it really bothers you
P-p-*cough* *cough* p-please...A crumb....a smidgen...of teaser...please
>>542151227starting to feel like /twg/ with crumb posting
>>542150480you're doing one or the other, unless you're just a passenger. passengers are safest with bad drivers, as long as you dont lean out.and remember, kids! if a strange FRV wont take no for an answer, you should blow up his car!
>>542146863OPS was great. Then Alexus fucked it during the 60 day patch last year. They buffed the fuck out of enemy heavy HP and proportionally buffed the damage of our AT weapons. However the fucking retard buffed the damage of the PHYSICAL IMPACT of the shell to grossly unnecessary levels, while leaving the damage from the high explosive warhead completely fucking untouched. The fucking impact does more than 3x more damage than the explosive warhead.
>>542151227Eat an entire can of Surströmming without barfing and post ithttps://youtu.be/AGRyr8yIo9w
>>542151156It doesn't have to do with the ship's position. All of the barrages deviate a percentage of their hits from the point of aim as a joke to increase the likelihood of friendly fire because the swedes think that it's hilarious and fun.
>>542150863Its simply the best generalist build that can work with any team but you can sub relay for esr on bugs if you're a coward
>>542151227They're too busy hovering their hands over the 'attack Hellmire' button.
>>542149637I got a lot of time in the FRV because I do use it to farm super credits on trivial on maps that are wide open and flat. I've learned basically 2 things:1 - if you stay around 30kpm i.e. first gear you're kind fine in open spaces with very little obsticles2 - even then you can still flip on a small rock when taking a turn which will kill the gunner, so you should only ever get in the hmg seat AFTER you parked at an objective using it like a turret and just ride inside3 - shit like a stingray will still rape it and it's just not worth it
Need a new weapon to level for squids. Taking suggestions.Coyote and Adjudicater already done
>>542152054try purifier, gives you a feeling of punishing oversaars with their own medicine.
>>542149359>Bearer of the Standard>Seal of Gen. Consensus>One True Flag>Portable Hellbomb
>>542151438They fucked over my baby... the 110mm Rocket Pods...Was great for demolishing turrets, tanks, and so on. Now it only kills tanks that are right under the beam and on the exact same height level.
>>542152054Deadeye is THE anti overseer gun.
Why is Operational Support so useless? Joel can just pull invasions out of his ass anywhere, it should pause invasions like Eagle Storm does but for gambit planets so that players are actually encouraged to use that mechanic

>>542149970hellbombs are a special case that bypass shields (most of the time)ironically enough I think the event that was responsible for making hellbombs pierce shields was that people used to use the personal shield generator within its blast radius to tank the explosionusing the hug emote on another player would even envelop them in your shield which would allow you both to tank it if they didn't have one and were gonna die without it

>>542157429If you're really good then it has everything you need as a primary for bots.I'm not really good.
>>542157225enough to join the lobby, right anon?
>>542157389Its kino.You have bad taste, its ok. That armor filters out a ton of plebs.
>>542157723lobby?
>>542157429If the reloading was like 35% faster it'd be just fine. Or give it a 10 round magazine and 5 round stripper clips, copied from the autocannon, that'd be really cool. Like the other anon said it could be really good for bots if you're super accurate, but deadeye will do the same thing but better right now.
The galactic impact mod needs to be fucking adjusted and I'm sick of Joel's bullshit. If we're literally only able to make any kind of progress on one planet at a time in the entire galaxy then there's no fucking winning, period. We'll always just get blindsided by some bullshit.
>>542158079>if you're super accurate,I doubt many people can be that accurate with the awful irons that thing has
>>542158085How many times do you have to be told that the galactic war is completely rigged and nothing the players do actually matters? Stop caring about it and enjoy the gameplay.
I kinda wish vertical grip wasn’t the literal only grip option on every single gun because it improves the single most important stat + no downside, and that taking the flashlight wasn’t a literal debuff.
>>542158431Angled is the better option for eruptor, and I agree that I hate that the laser introduces stat downgrades. Why can't I use laser with vertical grip?
>>542158079I do miss how HD1 had fast wars that would only last a month or so then you either win or lose. Obviously if HD2 is a single war it's never going to end and there is no winning even if it wasn't rigged.
>>542157031Hoverpack lets me jump in the air and fire the crossbow down and keeps me out of the blast radius of cluster bombs so I can get danger close with those (honestly the biggest benefit). This pairs well with the grenade launcher as well (I bring the coyote and the senator for that build)Plus it can save your ass against melee hordes if you run out of ammo or just get overwhelmed.It's also a decent traversal tool. You can go on some crazy flanks with it especially against well fortified encampments while the rest of the team pushes the front and draws aggro.Extra height helps with landing thermites on fabs and ships.
>>542157815it's definitely peakpeak of the dunning kruger arch
>is God-tier against bots>dogshit against everyone elseI think this is the only evidence you need to prove that bots are the most braindead easy faction, currently.
>>542159129That and that the only enemies that deliberately try to hit you when they shoot are the bunker turrets and the factory strider chin guns. All of the rest of the enemies only ever hit you by accident.
I have never found the eruptor or dominator ever worthwhile to use.They’re apparently very good, but their use is lost on me.I comfortably play on D10 with nearly any primaries, and ‘could’ get them through missions, but I am very hard pressed to say either are good.Can someone explain what I’m supposed to be doing with them? Maybe my entire approach is wrong.
>>542157429Yes, There's actually a quite nice weapon at the end of that steep learning curve. Like the rest of its category it lends itself better to bots than anything else. You need to live for iron sight gameplay though. Sure wish Constitution got scopes. That way it would be a nicely rounded bolt action sniper primary.
>>542158720Right? Like there's just nothing to care about beyond the mission you're playing and your own unlocks. The last interesting thing that happened was bots getting pushed off the map entirely... 15 months ago? In a short war players can get invested, but it's like some retard decided that players losing interest after a given war could be prevented by never having them in the first place.
>>542159327Equip iron sights and angled foregrip. Don't use it as a sniper rifle. It's more like a bolt action cannon. Don't shoot it in melee range.
>>542149359Your build is chaotic neutral. Mine is usually >Liberator>Talon>Pyrotech>Default armor>AC>EAT>120mm>Eagle Strafe
>>542158431probably cope but it feels like the -25% sway from the angled grip is actually good worth it for the 'tard laser desu>>542154037>helldivers drama>expect something like alexus calling everyone a nigger>it's just bog standard """content creator""" bullshitMay such cases
>>542159327Eruptor, less precision needed, just shoot 2 shots at a group and carry on on what you were doing instead of actually aiming. Easy mode.I used dominator a lot when the game came out because it was the only med pen primary, i think.
>>542159476What’s my ideal targets? Mediums? Larges? Should I be running a lmg/mmg or auto pistol or something for smalls?I feel like I have to build around it. Like I could use a dcs for the same heavys and lights on bots.
>>542159327>>542160101light and med, aim for weakpoints on large, but like it was mentioned, they are range weapons not for close engagement
>>542159327Eruptor kills spawners from further than throwable range, and it's good for a lot of mid-tier enemies with varying levels of precision required (devastators if you can hit their cock, bile spewers if they get grazed, flesh mobs with a few shots wherever). It's also ok at smallish groups of trash but gets overwhelmed fairly quickly. Reloading before firing the last round makes the reload much quicker.I'm in the same boat with the dominator, it just felt like a worse eruptor to me. More manageable, but such a damage loss that I'd rather take an assault rifle.
>you actually need a really high IQ to use AMR (vanilla and unmodded)I apolocheese, AMRsissies.
>>542159327the eruptor is the grenade launcher support with worse operation, but as a primarythe dominator is simply the "remove that over there" gun on anything below a tank
Everyone in this thread is a loser
I bought the game a couple of weeks ago and i was having fun on the bot worlds and the bug worlds, but this blue alien stuff is so shit by comparison, it makes me not want to play.
I’ll make a lobby and try eruptor later.Hows it on squiggers?
and you should all kill yourselves
>>542160917Love you too, pumpkin.
I will always mod my AMR to be a halo sniper rifle
>>542160101lights and mediumsyou can absolutely run a stalwart for stuff that gets too close, or another support for larges, and take something like the talon for enemies that get too closethe eruptor is nice because you can also close fabs and holes and ships with it
>>542160796Most of the thread would agree with your sentiment. Illuminate are just blatantly unfinished.
>>542160561this post is wrongwe don't deserve any creditother than shittons of fog and patrols spawning up your ass sniping is very easy in this gamethe biggest amount of skill you ever need to bring to AMR is being clever about reloading because the mag is smallother than that it's an ez modo maximum braindead weapon

>>542162951Oh? Would you prefer that the grenades and rockets basically touching you when they explode just outright kill you instead? You should be thankful for ragdolling, retard.
>>542163286>OhBuy an ad.
>>542163438rent free
>>542163009I'm mediocre as all fuck at aiming and can easily BTFO any front with AMR. Its dps is pretty insane and it meshes will with pretty much all loadouts. Get a handle on the recoil and you can farm yellow number with it just ifne. Please don't pretend it's some kind of patrician top 1% playstyle. More people would do it if it weren't so dry and half pointless.
>>542158760Interesting. That’s part of why I like the jump pack, though I’d imagine the vertical lift is better on the hover. I also take it because it lets me keep up with all the light armor twink builds my friends run lol.>>542159572I see EATs paired with other support weapons a lot. I guess when you need a can opener, you NEED it.
I got killed a lot when going up agaisnt the incendiary corps bots but not that I think about it I don't really die much to regular bots. I die more to SEAF than I do to bots
>>542163560It's a patrician top 0.4% playstyle, actually.
>>542163286I would prefer if they were more lethal and less annoying, yesWhat kind of drooling retard actually enjoys being ragdolled?
>>542163775One last (You) for your extreme cope. Any idiot can killfarm as a sniper in HD2.
>>542159327Eruptor is a bolt-action autocannon firing a round that works like a diminished version of both autocannon firing modes at once, with a range cap and no proximity trigger. Dominator is a semi-auto Slugger.
>>542156495>people used to use the personal shield generator within its blast radius to tank the explosion using the hug emote on another player would even envelop them in your shield which would allow you both to tank it if they didn't have oneHoly kino
>>542163004I do solo squids then the funny mind scrambler makes me put the SOS beacon in instead of resupply because I didn't look close enough at the icon, and it always works.
>>542163775I'd honestly use the AMR much more if they bothered fixing the ergo on it.If it's a precision weapon used to tag weak spots from long distances, it should feel better to use.
>>542160101>Should I be running a lmg/mmg or auto pistol or something for smalls?Personally I feel that the Talon pairs best with covering the Eruptor's blindspots, but other options like the Senator and verdict work too. A tl;dr is that the Eruptor basically is like the autocannon. It can basically deal with the same sets of targets in the same way, just slower and in your primary slot instead of eating up your backpack+support weapon slot.>What’s my ideal targets?>bugsOn the bug front, the eruptor shines at providing a bulk option for closing bug holes, an efficient answer to bile spewer seeds, can depitate brood commanders in one headshot, kill stalkers in one bodyshot, and kill trash mobs with AOE attacks. It is also very effective at destroying objectives like shrieker nests, spore spewers, and egg clusters. In a pinch you can use it to pop charger asses or bile spewer sacks.I run the Talon alongside it. The eruptor is poor at engaging shriekers, attacking point blank targets, or saving a friendly that is being meleed. Talon deals with all of those.>botsIt provides a way to brute force through striders and devastators even if you miss hitting the head/rockets. You can casually kill any small bots within pillboxes by just shooting the ceiling of the pillbox. You can kill most anything with a heatsink weakpoint. It destroys gunship engines quickly. It wrecks the exposed troops on dropships. You can frontally kill hulks via eye shots.
>>542163127Squids either
>>542164201>>542160101>squidsOn the squid front the eruptor provides an ammo efficient way to kill fleshmobs. The shrapnel spawned by the eruptor is extremely efficient at destroying warpship and tripod energy shields. With ideal RNG the eruptor can pop the shield in one hit, but normally 1 hit plus a few talon shots will rapidly overwhelm the shield. An eruptor shot to the shield generator of an unaggroed tripod will destroy the generator before it can ever activate the shield. An eruptor shot plus a few talon shots will kill a stingray. It lets you point and click delete tesla towers/eyeball turrets. It will kill overseers in one headshot. If you accidentally bodyshot the overseer, it will delete its armor and make it vulnerable to execution via a few center of mass talon shots. It can kill tightly clustered voteless, but voteless tend to be spread out just a bit, so other options can be desired vs them. Talon shots to the thighs will quickly dispatch a trickle of voteless, and larger group can be handled by something like a GL or gundog.
>>542163707>>542158760In broad general terms the warp pack is superior to both the jump and hoverpack, but if you're opting to bring jump/hover to bots then you need to leverage one of their greatest strengths: The ability to destroy stratagem jammers by jumping up next to the jammer antenna and then baiting a tank/turbolaser tower/factory strider to shoot at you.pic unrelated.
>>542164752Jump pack is just that much cooler than everything else, I love it when I'm able to give my friends a jump pack and we all jump at the same spot
>>542164752I had never thought to bait the towers and now I feel like a retard. I usually just scoot up there with my jump pack while the team distracts the bots and do the normal shutdown-hellbomb process and fuck off.
Does catapulting portable hellbombs with the anti-tank emplacement's unfolding animation still work? If so, how often do you do it?

Now that I think about it, Squids do have a cape. The Meridia cape. Bugchasers literally have done nothing of interest since the games inception. lmfao
>bugdivers ran a train on anon’s momNo wonder he’s so mad at us, bugChads.
is it worth it to run flash hider on ARs, or just SMGs if i'm planning on using FPV on both
since the bugchaser is having another melty, I shall remind everyone the true purpose.

>>542150617I like to chuck Gatling barrages at cognitive disruptors. There's a decent chance it might take out all the energy panels for you, and you even if it doesn't it still usually takes out a couple while softening up the area for you
>>542170471Such brand name would be greatly confusing considering there were probably actual armories on Mars. (((Squid))) tier deception
What is the minimum amount of Helldivers it would take to make a noticeable impact on liberation?
Fighting squids with no reds is fucking great>AC>mg sentry>gatling sentry>gas minesabsolutely clears voteless, bobs, and overseers. A nice low cooldown sentry or mines gets so much work done. orbital gatling/gas and eagle 500kg/cluster were my go tos but in hindsight they were only great in a few situations as opposed to always being useful.
Shouldn't Mars have cooled off by now?
>>542170961by our time? sure. by swede time? no way.
Man I wish the laser sentry was good
Reminder that right around the time the Xbox port released, there was a leak showing off capes based on which platform you're playing on. Seeing as we still don't have them probably means it's all the content we're getting on the upcoming liberty day

>>542172263Malevelon Creek for newfags who missed out o algo
Can't wait for the big patch to do nothing but break more shit and add absolutely nothing to the game. They'll bring back diggers and leviathan and act like that's new content, like they did with the Jet brigade when they first appeared.
>>542172409It's just bad game design.
>>542172263Because it was the active planet when Xbots showed up and the ODST warbond dropped. They even named a city on it New Alexandria after the one in Halo:Reach. It's been a long liberation too for Malevelon Creek memes. So it's gaylofags and Xbots.
>>542172263Small dedicated group of autists stubbornly grinding through the planet. To be fair, it is pretty close to SE so it's not as retarded as the Creek. Also, new Alexandria and muh Halo Reach memes

Guys something is happening. I think there's like actual subliminal messaging coming from this game. They changed something. I can't explain what's happening because it should be impossible but it's not impossible because it is happening and I can verify it. Did something shift cosmically recently? Can any moon experts tell me some common side effects after a super moon? THE COMET?! it has to be something like this because it's just not the kind of thing you believe unless it's happening DIRECTLY to you. Guys I'm having fun diving squids. After 900+ hours and burning out on Super Earth... How is this possible? Please tell me others are experiencing this phenomenon because it has to be bigger than any of us.

Why is Halo Divers Overhaul so shilled with the modding side of things? It's even the goddamn loading screen of Arsenal. xenokid with the ODST and Covenant stuff, and ArcanePoro & Vacona with various Halo ports or new assets, are way more comprehensive, but HDO can't even have basic B-01 variants without broken clipping, and another model was missing its waist entirely.

>>542180381Jetcucks seem like they have insane HP but it's just that most of the damage gets diluted into their ablative armor which they have like 20 individual parts around their arms and chest, it doesn't help they turn around instantly in midair like physics don't exist and rotate too like they're a mechwarrior pilot or some shit, all while maintaining insane accuracy while being shot and constantly throwing grenades.It's best to use high RPM against them and try to focus on shooting one location as long as it isn't center mass. Playing with a teammate and sticking with 2 man teams works best to make Jetcucks not completely overwhelm you the moment voteless and fleshmobs start swarming in.

>>542182828>The meme flamer instead of something with some stagger force vs predator bugs?My assumption is that hes relying on the spear purly to deal with pred bugs and leaving brap clouds to get them off him and the torcher for everything else. But yeah, its a bad build and he acts surprised and blames the game when it doesnt work.
>>542182526The laser one is just the run of the litter. I don't particularly like gas dog, but it will pretty passively disorient all of the enemies nearby. Zapdog has good damage potential since it has a full strength arc thrower as its weapon, but it's a bit retarded and is the teamkiller 9000. Gundog after they buffed it last year is great and is like a counterstrike player hopped up on gamerfuel until it runs out of bullets.I'll use the gundog a lot vs the squids and sometimes vs the predator bugs, but otherwise I also mostly use the warp of jump pack. Never shield though. I find shield just makes things worse since it makes your hitbox larger and you end up just getting hit and ragdolled by things that normally would have missed you entirely.
>>542182618No, all bugs just lay eggs both above and underground, they used to be crab-like creatures so they probably fuck a lot and have insanely short gestation times
>>542183264>so they probably fuck a lot and have insanely short gestation timesHaha wow that's crazy maybe we should try for a peace treaty?
>>542183074I guess you can use flamers for anti-charger duty. But I think that the sidearm flamer is better to be pressed into that role. Let me guess, he was exploiting ultimatum+supply pack glitch with his secondary slot? He should have just used the ultimatum for his anti-charger work and brought a cookout or blitzer or something for the predator bugs. It's entirely his own damn fault that predators are in his face when he didn't bring anything that can comfortably keep them at arm's length.Honestly I do hope that AH fixes that supply pack glitch pretty soon. It was funny for an hour. Now it's just sad.
>>542149017Why does every weapon feel so shit against squids?
>>542183013A lot more cumbersome, less reliable even if it can potentially kill a group faster... flak AC is fairly safe to use at short-ish range as long as you go prone/dive
>>542183152Not to say that it doesn’t enlarge the hitbox, but I’ve not had problems with the shield on D10 squids or bots. Just have to avoid the ragdollers, which is admittedly harder with bots, but not undoable. If you’re wading into bugs with the shield at higher difficulties, you are a certified moron.
>>542183539Feels like because when you're shooting things like overseers center mass your bullets are hitting their chest AND arms so you're stripping both at the same time rather than focusing on one so it feels like they just eat bullets
I for one hope they add original enemies instead of bringing over the enemies and bosses from hd1. Robodogs would be neat tho
>>542181563>it's another "fleshmob phases through the wall and lands on top of the battlements" episode
>>542183152>in ODST armor >trying to stealth>accidentally equip shield off dead teammate >oh well>suddenly can't stealth anymore>after the mission look shit up>the fucking energy shield humming is apparently loud as fuck>every enemy can hear it for thirty metersI hate the game itself never mentions this, some poor bastard had to figure it out and post the info.
>>542183628It's just like a noob's safety blanket is all. It feels comfortable to new players, but it's not actually providing any real value. It's all in your head.
>>542183539Fleshmobs have 6k hp and no weakpointOverseers have bullshit armor that defies physics and logic and is only soft countered by anything with high RPM or explosivesVoteless seem to respawn from every corner around you once a horde has been alerted like it's L4DStingrays sometimes just ignore being shot or decide to randomly instakill you from the edge of their visual explosive radius or 9/11 ontop of you with perfect tracking once you shoot them down
>>542183905You can always drop whatever backpack you're wearing, sample container or support weapon, check your settings
>take Machete to bots>swing straight through Heavy Devastator shields, kill in 3 swings>take Axe to bots>bounces off those same shields>both are Med Pen??????
>>542183928Dude I soak tons of bot fire, hold off entire mobs of voteless/brawlers, and can toe up to melee overseers, berserkers and fleshmobs (assuming they didn’t charge) dumping constant SMG fire from behind my little metal wall. It does a lot of work in my experience lol
>>542183557Sounds like a skill issue and you can say exact same thing as an argument for GL over AC.
They need to add enemies that feel genuinely good, lore wise.Like actually morally good enemies that look and act righteous and make you kinda make feel bad for killing them. Obviously they should all oneshot you and vaporize your bodies, because that's how good people kill.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdsLtVUV_70
>>542182678heh
>>542184751Feels like there's room on the map between the bots and illuminate for a 4th faction maybe
>>542184287The machete has special anti-communist technology
>>542184319They're not talking about the metal shield, the energy shield generator extends your hitbox and makes you a bigger target as long as it's on
>>542185008Ohhh shit, I was unaware.
>>542184751>"Heckin' Media literacy" retards when the story doesn't paint the antagonists as 100% good or evil
>>542184396not really. And GL takes a lot more shots to kill + has higher blast radius so it's more likely to ragdoll you + strong ricocheting. It's better for crowds.
>>542184751why?
>>542185307>>542185381Too many enemies that look like demons and monsters.I want to kill "angels" that think themselves morally superior to us and watch as retards cry that we are le hecking bad guys.
Should I get Helldivers 1?
d10 botssteam://joinlobby/553850/109775242631433963/76561198122378705
So I usually play on d7 but I tried d9 (since d10 had no quickplay option) and got into a bot match and the objectives would have literally 5 or 6 hulks just standing around on them. Is that just normal for high difficulties? Cause it felt like bullshit having to deal with such an insane amount of hulks on every single objective not even including all the ones dropped in or patrols.
>>542185534>compromise the artistic vision to make some retards seethewhy live your life like this?
Tiddy plants :)
Reprimand is just bad. I fell like I'd rather use Verdict, doesn't take an hour to reload.
>>542185743skill issue
>>542185743use siege ready armor
>>542184751With how the current MO is splitting squid space in half, it seems pretty clear to me the backfield is where the real Squ'ith are gonna finally appear, while the current assimilated human false squids are at the front. And when SE attacks them the ministry of truth propaganda machine will have to go into triple overdrive about how those squid babies HAD to die because they were gonna grow up into WMD slinging despots.
>>542185606That's completely normal and you're supposed to be airstriking/bombing them to oblivion with red strats rather than deal with them one by one. D9 and D10 are similar to the first game where their numbers are actually endless and killing them only gives a bit of respite to do objectives or run away before they drop another 20 warlords on your ass.
>>542185743once you get a feel for when the mag is about to run out you can do significantly faster tactical reloads in your sleepor in other words: skill issue
>>542183539Recommend high volume, high damage guns because that's all squids are, giant sponges. Guns that feel good on squids:>Lib Carb>Knight>Stahl SMG>Coyote>Tenderizer with fast reload armor.>Breaker>M90 if you pair it with a good support weapon and use this as your burst damage>DE sickle >Scorcher>Purifier if you're goodIf you're talking about support weapons too idk what to tell you.
>>542184287No way of proving this but my theory is that the axe had has medium pen and the rest of it does not, while the entire blade of the machete has penetration
>>542185743>reload animation on other guns is fast and snappy>reprimand reload animation, your diver retardedly and slowwwwly insert the mag into the gun for some fucking reason
>>542186187it's to reprimand you for thinking an SMG could be good
>want Siege-Ready without a heavy armor>the only other option besides Cinderblock on the Superstore is an entire Warbond for Street Scout, and the rest of the bond is kind of shit besides bug-burning
>>542186250I actually like other SMGs quite a bit. Halo and Knight are cool
>>5421855952/4
>>542186250>can’t extract with an SMGReal, actual skill issue
>>542186280Just use the dress blues armor (ceremony). The drip is immaculate and you don't need the extra ammo.
>>542186280ATe is OP
>>542186452>can’t extractwhere'd that come from?
>>542185721Squids could easily get away with it. In fact it would fit their faction extremely well.I also want enemies to have more variety and for the universe lore to have more depth by adding extremely polarizing moral views.The fact that you think this would compromise artistic vision shows your lack of understanding of the HD universe, if anything.>>542185890Squiggers deserve a genocide for all the warcrimes they've committed against humanity.
>>5421855953/4
>>542185907Maybe I'll stick to d7 then. Doesn't seem very fun to just have a million hulks walking at me.
>>542185743>>542186187>>542186250how long do you think the reload on the reprimand is? no looking it up, either, jsut give me your raw feeling
>>542185890Probably on the 22nd.
>>542185595full
>>542185594Only if you like isometric top-down shooters and bullshit difficulty that's only lessened by playing with teammates that may or may not just end up shooting you in the back.It's fun, I recommend it, but it's not for the faint of heart or those with an inflated ego.
>>542186904Around 50% of the mission timer.
>>542186904at least 3 seconds. maybe 4
>>542186904About tree fiddy.
>>542187008alright, and how long do you think a liberator with default mags takes to reload?
>>542185890>ministry of truth propaganda machine will have to go into triple overdrive about how those squid babies HAD to die because they were gonna grow up into WMD slinging despots.Angel's Venture. Moradesh. Ivis. New Haven. Pilen V. Widow's Harbour.Mars.
>>542187251idk. Haven't used it in some time.
>>542181563>he thinks there are seeds implemented for illuminate
BRASH FAPTICS!GOON 'EM, OR COOM TRYING!
>>542187251Hmmmmmmmmm.............about tree fiddy.
>>542186661The "angels" stuff was already the premise for HD1 squids and they got schooled on what being nice gets them. What you're proposing would go against the HD2 theme of us defending Super Earth from monsters they created themselves.
>Joel doesn't even have to attack bug planets anymore he can just take them because "muh gloom spread"I'm so tired of his tricks.
>>542187362alright I'll just cut to the chasethe reprimands empty reload is 3.5 secondsthe liberators empty reload with default mags is 3 secondsit's just weird to me how people always call out the reprimand for having such a glacial reload when it's really not that far out of bounds from the standard
>>542187816the reprimand reload feels harsh because of the mag capacity. it feels like you're spending more time reloading than shooting
>>542187701>inevitable “seize Oshaune” MO>even if it’s successful, “success” just means there are roaches added to every bug seed now because “muh gestated gloom spores”hooray
>>542187816That 0.5 is definitely felt. The fucking 70 rounder on Knight takes less time.
>>542187701Joel: "IM GUNNA GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM"
>>542188029>The fucking 70 rounder on Knight takes less time.it actually takes exactly the same amount of time. default reload is 2.5 seconds, extended mag adds 1 second to that for 3.5.
>>5421878163 seconds for 45 shots versus 3.5 for 25 shots.Adjudicator also is 3 seconds for 30 shots so it's not an AP3 tax.
Brass knuckles melee weapon when?
>ever intentionally doing an empty reload as your defaultMein anons...
>>542188420Your gens are getting worse, slop boy. It doesn't even look like the same character.
>>542188420When you kys
>>542188230Is it exactly 1 second? Feels faster than Reprimand.
>>542188656Its a throwback to the robutts old look before I turned it into a robutt
>>542188671
>>542188734Is the six fingered glove also a throwback to before you were such an annoying faggot shitting up the thread with your genslop?
>>542188420Hang yourself, retard.
Justice... soon?
>>542188420she was better before robot modo
Do you use the solo silo?
>>542190639No, I don't have the warbond.
>>542190639yeah. for deh keks
>>542190639Command bunkers on open field maps.
I want a story arc where we have a temporary truce with the bots to fuck over the squids or bugs that ends in us breaking it (high command will pretend it's the bots' fault)
>>5421855953/4 again
hang all mortarfags from trees
>>542190639yes, but as a joke.
>>542184176>you can drop shitI know What I didn't know is the bubble shield makes LOUD NOISE that CANCELS MY STEALTH PERK.
>>542190765asking for actual SEAF on enemy missions with a coherent frontline or mosh pit double enemy missions is already too much racism, now you're asking for swiggers to make enemy factions into conditional allies?
Squids wouldn't be half as fun for me if I couldn't crush the skulls on crawling voteless with kick emote. just makes me feel KEWL
>>542190765I want to ride a Charger into battle
>>542190847If the fuckers hit me once I destroy the turret, simple as
>>542190847get mortar'd nerd
>>542191657Too cool, swedes would never
>>542190765What would be even funnier is if squids or bots meet the bugs and SE declares an alliance with the bugs. Obviously nothing actually changes since the bugs can't even understand but SE proceeds to pretend to have diplomacy with them, with some really funny newscasts on the destroyer.
>>542190639It's a bad 4th stratagem slot thing that I take to deal with the occasional Strider that I don't want to have to try to bellyrub with the Railgun. It's effectively a fire and forget worse cuck chair, but I've played enough point and click adventure with the chair to want to get back to what I'm doing.
>>542188492I will say reloading with bullets left in the mag and trying to get that sweet spot is probably one of the best active reload mechanics I've seen.
i reload whenever i feel like, even if i just shot 1 bullet
Do shotgun chokes increase sway like rifle/smg muzzle devices do?
Anyone else losing connecting to the host a lot more recently?
no
>>542193129I don't know.
If faggothead insist on adding more dogshit melee weapons they should just give them their own category instead of bloating the secondary slot
>>542193458Thanks.
>>542192146Are we sure terminids wouldn't be able to understand? How do we know they can't think?
>>542192960I always appreciate when a game takes into account the round still in the chamber.
>>542193129they do not
on a scale of 1-10 how mad are you i domed you with a mmr because the squids crowded you??
>>5421946980. I don't get mad at accidentals. The only time I get miffed is if someone keeps making the same mistake over and over AND they're high enough level to know better. Or if they deliberately teamkill SEAF. Then it's execution and a kick.
>>542194698As long as you use the "I'm sorry" voiceline, all is forgiven :)
>>542194872>deliberately teamkill SEAFI do this and I'm not gonna stopI'm not gonna pretend to care about your retarded lemmings, they've teamkilled ME enough
>>542194931idk how to do that. im lvl 6 :(i did try and keep your drops clear
>>542193645Super Earth propaganda loves to double down on Terminids having agency to diminish Super Earth's role in their going rabid. Like when they talked about an informal truce a few MOs ago when the gloom started expanding again. Which of course suggests the opposite. Vice-versa for bots, where they REALLY want you to believe they're totally unthinking to once again absolve Super Earth of any responsibility.
>>542183905>accidentally equip shield off dead teammate Nigga you can just say you brought the diaper shield
>>542195149Honestly it doesn't help that Terminid invasions keep spreading out across the SE worlds thanks to SE constantly trying to experiment and derive new fuel sources from Terminids. It seems a lot more like every "invasion" that wrecks yet another part of humanity is yet another protocol breach since they can't even fire on the Super Destroyer fleets in orbits, never mind travel in space. That's megacities, colonies, entire planets razed over and over and over because Super Earth refuses to stop.
>>542183539Eruptor is the least shit primary against squids, highly highly highly recommend.>2 to the shield, 1 to the door for ships>staggerlock and kills a harvester in a bit over a mag>fleshmobs in 4 shots>tight packs of voteless in 1 shot, regularly 8 kills+>all varieties of overseers in 1 (lucky), 2 (typical), 3 (rare and very unlucky) shots>can deal with basically everything if you bring talon, verdict, mg sentry, guard dog for high pressure and close encounters.ARs don't have enough ammo without running supply pack imo, SMGs are the same and worse, shotguns can't deal with jetpack overseers at their comfortable range, DMRs are ok if you're taking MG sentry or guard dog for voteless, but lack the power to feel like they comfortably handle overseers and mobs. Laser weapons don't have enough stagger, pass through, or burst damage imo, Scorcher and Purifier feel pretty good imo too, but the utility of blasting ships and harvesters rockets eruptor to the S tier.
>>542183539shotgun.
>>542196389Protip: use your talon to magdump ~4-5 shots into the warp ship shield before shooting the eruptor. You'll save yourself one extra eruptor round and bolt racking cycle.
>>542194990the DSS eagle strikes kill me relentlessly, the only thing to fuck me up in D10 squike cities
>>542190847mortar is good for defenses.
>>542193645they are clearly mindless instinctive bugs, less than reptilians, but higher than plants>YOULL NEVER DESTROY OUR WAY OF LIFE
Any1 else noticed verdict looks different on ship and during missions? The polymer parts are white on ship and black/dark grey during missions
truce with bots is not happening truce with squids is not happening truce with bugs is not happening
>>542197791goodKILL EM ALL
The fourth faction will be reddit and /hdg/ transported via Illuminate jew sorcery to fight super earth
>>542197248good tip. I've been running stalwart and just bursting down the shields with that, but the talon is just free ammo if nothing else is going on. Thanks!
I'm tired of pretending that the Sickle is bad.
>>542197791it already happened thoughbeit?
why would you pretend like sickle is bad?
>>542198720Its just kinda alright honestly
the reprimand is hot garbage
Some high tech futuristic skates would be a ludo stratagem>similar to jump pack but no backpack slot>lets you zoom around on flat surfaces for very little stamina>slow stompy animation when going up hills>any ground hazard ragdolls you>taking a ranged hit over a tiny threshold (anything higher than a basic trooper shot) ragdolls you>being in the sprint animation and hitting a curb or stone ragdolls you>high speed turns have a 50% chance of ragdollinghigh risk/reward, lots of ragdolls, burns shitters so hard they stop using it after a week so it doesn't become omnipresent, skill-based movement for the veterans and longevity of the game, etc
>>542198865it overheat too fast, DEsickle is better
is thermite the patricio tier throwable for squomos?
>>542198889run it on semi and treat it like a short range DMR and it's decent.>>542199050I typically take the dickle but staying close to another diver lets the sickle really shine, you're just adding damage so the two of you hit breakpoints much quicker and you both save some ammo and heat.
>>542198889> <actually one of the best weapons in the arsenal> is hot garbagethese are the people who say 90% of the guns suck, btw
>>542199083gas nade>halts and confuses fleshmobs, and helps do some damage>confuses overseers>slays voteless in droves>can still blow up ships
>>542196290>entire planets razed over and overFuck me I've wanted this to happen for so long: the more a planet is fought over the more war-torn it looks. Trenches, barb wire, more crashed vehicles, giant craters, radiation zones, TONS of wrecked and burnt infrastructure, decomposing bodies everywhere, makeshift foxholes and military checkpoint type shit. Like, the more times a planet changes hands the worse it gets, and the longer a faction holds a planet the more it looks like they've owned it. More bug covered ground and side objective egg nests, more bot structures, propaganda, bot specific architecture with no objective purpose kinda like our SE stuff, and obviously squid tech. Goddamn this game could be so fucking amazing if the swedes even gave half a shit about it.
>>542198889correct, xbox newfags will tell you otherwise though
>>542199497>bots hold a city for a month>every alleyway has overlapping MG nests>cannons covering every road>arty on all 4 corners of the mapWould be kino. Total AIDS but also kino. This would also fit so much better in a randomized war that can actually end
>>542198889you have to treat both the reprimand and the adjudicator like battle rifle style single-shot guns that are really good for precision point damage, but dogshit for sustained rapid combat. problem is unless your buddies are really good at distracting enemy forces you're not going to get too many opportunities for that sort of usage that both diligence weapons don't already cover anyway, and this makes them really chunky guns for solo runs.you're better off with some straight up lightpen weapons in some fronts at that point, or even the ma5c because it does what both guns do but generally better.

>>54220353631, the fuck it to you?
>>542203469longest time between warbonds thus far has been 56 days, or 8 weeks. it's currently 5 weeks since the last warbondyes

>>542203314Blame swiggersI wonder what are xniggers thinking rn
>>542203469later this monthnot if you have purifier unlocked imo. Scorcher has full auto but that's usually a waste, so purifier can do the same thing by spamming left click, while also having charged shots which are like a whole 2 or 3 levels better than scorcher shots imo, allowing you to get much more damage for the same ammo which feels pretty limited.
>>542203314Battlefield 6 released today dude, give it a week and next Friday night it'll probably be fine.
>>542202848>>542202730
>>542203469Scorcher is a PDW you use together with HMG or AC on bots. It fills that role really well but ammo is a little too scarce to use it with RR or something.

>>542203936New melee weapon idea: A piece of shit with terrible inconsistent range that uses stamina and needs more than one hit to kill anythingOh wait that's already every melee weapon in the game.
>>542203936I was thinking of old AC-like back weapons that force you to be stationary when using them. Would occupy both backpack and support weapon slots.
>>542203936can the stake have a punch-through hitbox corresponding to its real physical model that also lets it ignore trash mobs in the way, spear through a few medium enemies in a row in its modest range, or multi-hit a single heavy if it lines up through more than one part?
>>542202930I remember some dudes here coping and saying that the xbox release would be the big performance and engine fixing patch just so HD2 could run on that thingInstead AH chose the swedish option and just let the game become unplayable for everybody
>>542204670So basically you're asking the Swiggers to give us back the original stun lance.
>>542198889stick with it and it becomes pretty a laser weapon
>>542204579They could implement a minigun like this
>>542198889only super golems could like that circumsized assault rifle
>>542203936not actually a melee weapon but one whose range is so limited it might as well be:fusion cutting torch. AP7, 500 normal 500 durable DPS, same range as non-spear melee weapons
Noob here, why is the Adjudicator considered bad? I've liked using it so far and I've been doing fine on d10.
>>542205339because people have brain damage and can't stop themselves from conflating "not the best in slot" as "unusable dogshit trash"
>>542205339it's not bad but there's better options. If you're firing full auto, the small mag size and lengthy reloads make whiffs really punishing and feel shitty especially compared to a libpen or smg or stalwart. If you're firing semi auto, there's other options with much more damage and accuracy, like deadeye or DCS. It's a 6/10 in two roles instead of being a 8 or 9 in one.
>>542205339>medium pen primary>'considered bad'there is no need to be disingenuous.I mainly don't use because I think its ugly. Also the recoil is 'ehhh' for my personal taste, but its not bad by any stretch.
>>542205339retards can't into burst fire and think it's bad because you can't control it in full auto and it's just a worse marksman rifle when using semi auto
>>542203314skill issue i've got a full loby a few hours ago
>>542198720It and the D-sickle aren't bad, they're just not really best in slot. Which reminds me.>>542196389>>542159327Another good thing about the eruptor is it is very good at run and gun fighting. You don't really lose out on much offensive power if you are constantly on the move kiting enemies. While the ergonomics might slow you down if you truly need a precision shot, normally you only need to vaguely shoot center of mass and this doesn't take too long. You're now completely free to spend the next few moments running and racking the bolt before it's time to shoot again. On the other end of the spectrum is something like the Sickle and D-sickle. You can pump out sustained damage with them but you're pretty immobile while doing so. At best you can do a little slow walk while mag dumping and maybe blink if you have a warp pack. It's a lot easier to get outmaneuvered and encircled when using the sickles since you need to keep your muzzle on target, but with the eruptor there's lots more time between shots where you're free to move at full sprint and spin your camera around to reassess your surroundings.
>>542205949>>'considered bad'It's an Assault Rifle. If you're not the Coyote you're automatically considered shit and useless apparently. And frankly medium pen wouldn't even be the desired state right now if it weren't for the absolute nightmare spam of heavy to tank tier enemies the game's had that strongly encourage just using a medpen primary to workhorse shit.
>>542199083Pyrotech>kill overseers>locks down streets/alleyways when being pursued by voteless spam>spawn camps squid drops>kills harvesters by cutting off their feet>still kills warp ships>probably won't OHKO a flesh mob, but it will eat a big chunk out of its HP>you get six of them
>>542205339It isn't bad, it just isn't top tier.>AP3 battle rifle>high damage per round and strong scope options>counteracted by high recoil, "small" magazine and sub-par ergonomics>limited customization options to fix all of the negativesIt's a weapon where you have to try to make each shot count, yet at the same time doesn't provide you with all the tools to do that (trying to reduce the recoil or capitalize on the sight options reduces the ergonomics, there are no magazine size options). There's also the problem that only the bots don't constantly swarm you with loads of chaff that run counter to the Adjudicator's play style.
What happens if there's a bug breach/bot drop and you just run away from it really fast? Does the enemy ai just make them stay there?
>>542208258They will follow you but eventually despawn
>>542177760The reduced armour on overseers' chestplates mean they crack faster + die, which helped make the non-incel breakers decent against the ayys.
>>542208450They changed the armor on the torso when the armor is broken. It used to be that if you broke the armor on the chest and shot their undersuit you'd still be shooting at an AV2 part, which cucked AP2 weapons.
>>542198889Get a flash hider and equip the Mk 2 reflex sight on it and it feels quite good to shoot in first person. As long as you treat it like the machine pistol that is.
>>542203314It doesn't matter. None of this game matters.
how would you buff the jump / hover pack to be as good as the warp pack without making the warp pack obsolete?
>>542209167remove stratagem ball bouncing
>Find a good group of randoms>Get disconnected with no reconnect promptFine I get it Swedes, it's not realistic unless I'm stuck in Difficulty 9 lobbies hosted by level 30's with no lives left, 3 objectives remaining and 3 minutes left on the clock while they throw 50kg bombs next to my feet.
>>542209167For jump pack, decrease the cooldown time between jumpsFor hover pack, make you briefly fly around like a squid
>>542208258They start doing fortnite dances and rape your cpu
>>542209167Hover pack is fine as it is.Jump pack however needs reduced cooldown, or some gimmick like double jumping.
>>542209310those are the best kind of lobbies though
>>542209916>Jump pack however needs reduced cooldownIt already exists. Its called the Warp pack.
>>54220916715 seconds on the jump pack is completely obscene, warp pack is 5 second cooldown with burst usage capability, jump pack should ideally be 10 or 7 second cooldown.
>>542209167Dark fluid jumpack with 7 second cool down between uses
I really like railguns. So I tried the railgun in this game. It has anti tank penetration, so that means it deals full damage to all opponents with heavy armor. But it actually doesn't, because almost every heavy armor part worth shooting has an incredibly high durable value, meaning the damage is reduced from 1500 to about 500. This feels pretty silly. Why spend 10+ seconds lining up shots and almost killing yourself with perfect charges when you could just shoot a rocket? Do the developers really think a backpack slot is worth that much? It's still good as a medium enemy killer but I was hoping precision would be better rewarded.
>People iit having unironically worse balancing ideas than Alexus
>>542209310zero cooldown on jumps, limited fuel that you have to resupply
>>542209916>Hover pack is fine as it is.Hover should at least have the option to manually cancel the hover.
>>542210390Including the overuse detontation?
>>542198720I like running it with HMG. I already have a gun that reloads forever so I like having a primary that doesn't reload at all. That 50 more RPM it has over 2Sickle makes a difference for how easy it is to pop dev heads and I don't want to run fire resist armor anyway, so it's better for short term usage.
>>542210480You're exactly right, it's primarily a medium enemy headcapper, and to kill true heavies requires something in the neighborhood of 3-4 fully charged shots to the same weak point. What you're getting here is flexibility and mobility, not only can you engage medium and heavy enemies with the same weapon, but you can also reload on the move and don't have to take up your backpack slot with an ammo backpack. Yes, it's a huge fucking deal, because backpacks are extremely strong now, not only Guard Dogs but the mobility backpacks like Warp Pack and Hover Pack, and most especially the Portable Hellbomb.
>>542210480The game in general is very much a "figure your preferences" sort of thing with a lot of overlap and weird design. In most co-op PvE games you'd have classes, weapons with varied use cases, or at the bare minimum an OSP in effect so everyone just improvises with what's on-field, but HD2 just sorta gives you a bunch of random shit, some of it's good, some's bad, no training zone to figure how it all works and a ton of hidden stats and functionality not openly explained, and then goes, "Okay, now grab whatever you've unlocked and take it into any mission, and you're just gonna have to gamble on whether it's even remotely worthwhile or a bad idea; if you're joining a quickplay you don't even get to see the mission type/map, so good luck fag".There's some people that really do prefer the Railgun since you're not having to account for projectile drop, but when other weapons have filled the utility role already and you have to unlock the Railgun at level 20, it's hard to really recommend it to someone because there's basically no reason to go out of their way but word of mouth, curiosity or seeing other people use it.
>>542210273Should just be like it was in Helldivers 1; Has fuel capacity but you can use it as much as you want with minimal cooldown between.
>>542211183>Expendable jetpackBased actually.
>>542210935I think my approach was just too narrow-minded, mostly because of my experience with railguns in other games. I haven't actually tried any of the drone backpacks, so I'll have to do that. Thanks for the tips. >>542211006I do really with they had a firing range or any explanation on how armor or durability damage works. It's irritating to see such important systems kept completely obfuscated.
Why are aliens such a slog? Having to mag dump an overseer to kill it when there are 4 more behind him is ass.
>>542212184Yeah people here will shit on you for using a "crutch pack" but honestly all the dogs are pretty good and definitely a power boost that's worth thinking about if you're actually going in wanting to max out on damage output.
>>542196389>kills a harvester in a bit over a magI'm pretty sure it does it under a mag if you target the leg joints
>>542213034the one single time >bro your medium pen?actually applies, so you can shoot their headsbut also overseers aren't that tanky anymore since they reduced the inner flesh armour. a drum mag liberator, with good aim, should have enough in the tank for all 5
>>542213034Autocannon makes them stumble and good at clearing a little voteless crowd around em
>>542213034Use weapons with high ero + high dps. This solves their faction. It's genuinely better to go angled foregrip just so you can track flying overseers better because of how strong their aim resistance is.
>>542213554>Use weapons with high ero + high dps.Or equip the humble gundog and watch it 360 noscope them.
>>542213554>Aim resistanceNot a thing
For me I like using this just to kill the purple drones so I dont embarrass myself trying to shoot it while zombers chew my ankles
>>542213918unironically the single best and most reliable way of killing watchers
>>542213975>arcthrower
>>542214114oops sorry a random fucking particle effect just ate the ray that determines if a target is visible to the arc or not
>>542214197Nice stale memes. You know them flying actually makes it piss easy to hit even if you are too retarded to account for "random fucking particle effects."
>>542214114Yeah im going to use a whole special weapon to unreliably zap a little thing
>>542214432I use the arc thrower a lot. it's one of my favourite support weapons. random particle effects absolutely block otherwise clear shots and it's notoriously unreliable
>>542214587I legit tried to shoot a trooper 5 feet from me and the Arc thrower was being blocked by literally nothing.
so what was the verdict on the verdictjust unlocked page 3 of polar patriots
>>542213034>overdesigned armor system where each piece blocks/reduces damage until it falls off, including the head>humanoid shape is harder to hit with erratic and jerky movements>grounded overseers are predictable and run directly at you like voteless instead of moving in formation like bugs>elevated overseers attach to a player and try to maintain a certain distance>leading to extremely unpredictable and unnatural movements that make leading shots harder for the average joeOne is such a slog to use bullets on, you end up bringing an MG or GL since it deals with the voteless too. The other is a slog in the other direction: An enemy that should theoretically be easy to hit since it utilizes zero cover whilst floating in the air, and yet its erratic movements from the way it's implemented make it borderline impossible to predict without feeling like you're exploiting a bug. So you just end up taking a not forgiving MG or GL the ones close to the ground. This isn't even including the difference in how the game feels depending on whether you're host or not, let alone bugs or network issues causing inconsistencies already. It's just bad design and instead of fixing these problems that existed the entire time, they added in more units that are equally as buggy/inconsistent to fight.
Osama you cheeky fuck I know you're in here
