Players wage war on contested planets, each with a different biome, completing as many objectives as possible in a procedurally generated level while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful missions, a planet can be defended or liberated, and the player base must 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.

Stratagem Idea: Eagle Reconnaissance Gameplay: Stealth / Infiltration / InformationKey Features:-150m radius / 30 second duration / 2 uses per base rearm-No other Eagle stratagems can be used during the duration-Reveals all enemies (Map, temporary)-Highlights large+ enemies such as Hulks, Chargers, Factory Striders, Harvesters (Tag, temporary)-Reveals Optional Objectives such as the SEAF Artillery or Radar Station (Map, permanent)-Reveals the location of Objectives with randomly generated locations within a vicinity such as the Geological Survey, Black Box or Keycards (Map, permanent)-Reveals Minor Places of Interest (Map, permanent)-Counters the Poor Intel operation modifier
I hope the camera gets worked into a normal mission I like the idea of getting war footage for propaganda à la starship troopers, honestly liked the commando missions more than I thought I would
I, for one, am glad the commando missions will never be available again after this event is over.
>>555089713It's made by a leaktranny called "Irish" on the discord leak server "holotable" They make fake bullshit to mess with people outside of their clique on the server
This one is a true, real, 100% accurate and trustworthy leak straight from Arrowhead HQ.

Are gunships not working at the moment? My whole squad (2 not using stealth armor) just r an up to a gunship fab and none spawned. I've also played a few missions with the gunship patrol modifier and it hasn't spawned any.
>>555099608They've been broken since multiple patches. No it will not get fixed because AH only reads a glazing bootlicker subreddit that denies bugs and takes down any posts reporting bugs.
Hey, i know there's a couple based players in this generalIs there a guide on how to spawn supercredits\medals? I would appreciate that
>>555056120I use it a lot with chainsaw build to set it up. Im gonna say something cursed but its better bushwhacker by a wide margin, and it can replace stun grenades in your kit if you like using them to stun a single enemy.I use the fuck outta them on bots and it's probably my best oh fuck option to equip. Frankly I'm surprised people hate it and I look forward to it getting buffed

Two of those team deaths were mine. I've had some of the sauce. It'll be alright.
>most enemies can kill you in two hits even with heavy armor>if they don't do that then they have like a 1/10 chance of breaking your legs or arms>anything above a trashmob takes half of a magazine to take down>all enemies outnumber you in literal hordes-to-one>enemies can track you down, without ever having seen you or knowing you're on the planet>virtually no balancing for solo players>unreasonable micro-purchase prices and long grinds>vast majority of tools/weapons/armors in each Warbond are virtually useless>if you find any of this unbalanced or unreasonable then you're a basedboy redditorThe "git gud" meme has done damage to the gaming community and game development teams. Autistismos unironically believe that difficulty and balance in a game cannot be criticized and all fault lies on the player.And to not be totally negative: This has been a refreshingly nice community. Outside of isolated incidents, players have majoritively been polite, skilled, and thoughtful Helldivers to fight alongside. And this game has some of the funniest friendly fire I've ever seen. Seriously on par with my Earth Defense Force days.
So let me get this straight>Stealth warbond has a lure mine>Ideally this can take care enemies that are in the way or patrols that are coming directly your way>In reality as soon as you throw a lure, the enemy gets aggressive immediately>Heavies like shield devs and hulks will stand still and just shoot at it>They see you throw the lure? Detected>You're too close to the lire? Detected and they completely ignore the lure>The lure explodes? Everything within a large radius instantly knows where you're at, even if you're hidden>Enemies barely even pay attention to it in combat so you can't even use it to get the heat off yourself This is the worst fucking thing in the warbond. Is this just a host problem or does this piece of shit perform the same when you're not the host?
C4 bugs out when you reach the charge limit and doesn't let you throw a single one after even if you detonate the placed ones. Very cool AH
Commando is just brapdiver propaganda

>>555131135>virtually no balancing for solo playerswhy should there be? its a team game, if you want to take the missions on solo, unironically get good. And no you wont be able to clear the map solo unless you're actually good at the game
>>555108809Use frag nades instead, same role, 6 of them, lots more effective.
>teammate drops his jump pack for me so I can infiltrate bot outpost from behindStealth is sovl, I'm afraid
>>555147305>Why should there be?Because the devs want to sell more copies?Because over 50% of gamers on average prefer singleplayer?Because the devs specifically created a solo mode option in the game?Because there's virtually no reason not to and every reason to?>unironically get goodI'm not arguing that it should be easier by any means. But straight up unwinnable battles and RNG mechanics which I have no control over are simply poor design. We're talking about enemies that spawn in numbers faster than you can physically eliminate them. The ones that teleport to catch up to the player, making jetpacks or teleporter packs useless. Heavily armored bullet sponges randomly out in the open so you might randomly drop onto one and die before you can call down a weapon to deal with it. If any of these mechanics were put into a game alone they would be considered unbalanced and poorly designed; ridiculed by gamers and fixed within the first month of release.But because the inept devs made the whole game unbalanced it draws brain-dead autistic weirdos that have no nuanced comprehension of why the game is hard, only that it is.
>>555167726
>>555080775Im in this screenshot and kek everytime
Ever since they added FLAK rounds for the autocannon I don't see the point in the AP rounds. The FLAK oftentimes is more effective and kills faster. On armored AND trash mobs
Stealth or Dune warbound?
>>555186310The autocannon is underpowered>20mm round>AP>does less damage than the anti material rifle which by comparison is a round with 80% less kinetic energy
>>555186310it rewards aim a bit better
>>555186531Dune 100%
why was half the last thread just people calling each other brown, how does this general even function
>>555186310AP rounds are more general purpose and reward hitting weakpoints more. Flak is specialized for light targets by blanketing a bigger area with shrapnel but lacks the necessary punch to deal with anything bigger. Both are excellent as long as you're firing at the proper targets that warrant it.
>>555192343Just like any general, there are sometimes threads dominated by a single autist shitting on it endlessly during particular outbursts. By either replying to anyone and anything, replying to himself or making up bullshit on the spot.If IDs existed like they do on other imageboards, you'd see the transparency of such.
>>555131135>most enemies can kill you in two hits even with heavy armorYou're not wearing the correct heavy armor.Ballistic PaddingExtra PaddingFortifiedOnly ones worth using. If you're going heavy, you maximize defense. Then grab the Jump Pack/Warp Pack to salvage your mobility.
>>555194743>>555131135Oh and I guess the heavy gas armor for gas memes.
>>555194716Is there a reason they're not implemented site wide? The described behavior is on all boards.
>>555195968Adherence to tradition.Laziness.Incompetence.Maliciousness.Pick and choose your poison, I doubt anyone actually cares.
>>555195968It's an anonymous imageboard, the concept of identification even in the most reduced sense goes contrary to the central pillar of site culture. I agree on only implementing it on boards where it makes sense as an anti-shitposting or national identification measure (/pol/, /int/). Enabling genuinely mentally ill retards is the unfortunate price we pay. I just immediately discard posts that were clearly made by a shitpost autist.
The Illuminate truly are every worst aspect of this game combined.>A lot of stratagems are worthless against them through sheer overkill vs. cost to use>While simultaneously the faction is completely solved via the MG-43, MG Sentry, and Gun Dog, all of which combined kill everything they throw at you>The most "exciting" they get is spamming fire or gas>Keeping in mind that Overseers, even before the fire changes, seem to just fucking refuse to ignite>Voteless spawning behind you out of thin air, sometimes right in front of you>Elevated Overseers having the most unnatural flight pattern imaginable that defies any semblance of fun to interact with them>Elevated Overseers and Watchers flying to the moon via building wall scaling>Elevated Overseers spamming grenades with pinpoint accuracy>Fleshmobs getting stuck in terrain, immune to damage, yet still able to hit you through the wall/ground>Harvesters flipping a coin on whether they're unable to even graze a stationary target with their beam, or taking your head clean off mid-diveYet despite all of this, they're not even challenging. They're by far the easiest faction to D10. They're just shit, you'd have to be a masochist to enjoy the most uninteresting form of mental torture imaginable. It's as mundane as the Chinese water droplets on your forehead technique, comically simple yet soul destroying.
Why does the tenderizer feel better than the base liberator? I thought the liberator is objectively better.
>>555197794Liberator is better.
>>555080658What should my next warbond be? I have>Democratic Detonation>Steeled Veterans>Servants of Freedom>Dust Devils>Urban LegendsIs the stealth warbond unironically worth it?
>>555195968Nobody really actually cares enough to fight for it, but for the people who shit up the threads the game is INSTANTLY over once this happens so they will do and say everything in their power to prevent that from happening.
Helldivers 2 D10....woah...epic!

>>555198163C4 is nice, but stealth is still too niche and simple mechanically. It's just speedrun diving with extra steps.
Commando missions are too hard, i wish AH would do something about them...
You can just whip the FRV around that makes commando missions quick since there's no reason to stick around and fight.
>>555198163Viper Commandos, purely for experimental fusion.The armor passives are pretty good and aside from the throwing knives (which are fun but a meme) the weapons are more than serviceable.
guys don't fucking scare the artfags off
>>555198163Viper Commandos or Borderline Justice
>>555197750Overseers die in seconds to afterburn fire when you use laser weapons despite their main damage output often being much higher than fire's DPS due to their armor mechanics and laser weapons igniting the target before actually penetrating their armor. They are probably the easiest enemies to kill with fire provided you can actually set them on fire in some way, shape or form. Somehow flamethrowers fail to ignite them head-on, most likely to not actually being bugged in the way they apply afterburn unlike lasers, but ground fire still can.Elevated Overseers overshoot their grenades as they are mostly expecting you to be running away in a single direction and you can abuse this to your advantage. You can also force them to the ground and into your puddles of fire by aiming above their heads on purpose, the retardation in design that is aim resistance will never stop amusing me when that happens.I agree with everything else. They're not as fun to fight despite being designed as the faction to play when you don't care about AT and just want to let machineguns rip. At least bugs provide a sense of dread from all their jinking and outflanking meanwhile you don't really feel the same with Voteless "sneaking up" and spawning behind you on a patrol out of thin air.Lowkey, Railgun kinda feels like a lot of fun on Illum front if only for its interactions with Fleshmobs and Harvesters with overcharged shots, but it is a suboptimal choice against anything else, specially since Overseers require two shots to the chest or a headshot, It's still a lot more fun to bring it to Automatons instead though

>>555132954It’s amazing. Don’t use it as a mine, use it as an oh shit button if something goes wrong. If you get spotted throw it up high on something and break line of sight, everything will lock onto the mine that won’t blow up because it’s out of range. It does what smoke wishes it could do, and it’s still 1000 damage heavy pen if you want to blow something up so it’s versatile.

>>555197750Bots will continue to be the most fun because almost everything works against them. Outside of a few exceptions, every post release Warbond and Stratagem added to the game tends to work best against them. Giving them the most variety of engagement. Like all that comes to mind that doesn't really work is incendiary weapons, but that's within the context of fire-based weapons. Because laser weapons dog the bots harder than any other faction.
>>555198354As expected of furniggersThey never learn
>>555200116Bots are the most fun to fight against because they're the least threatening. Bots are super flashy with their guns and explosions but thankfully, mission failure isn't possible.

>>555210387Gundam at least treats it semi-realistically at first in that the mobile suit mecha stuff, while changing the balance of the war because it's able to be versatile, isn't totally outclassing traditional warfare. Some dude on a turret emplacement or tank can wreck a dumbass or unaware soldier in a mobile suit. Then the series progresses and the damn things get reflexive enough combined with panoramic cockpits for full 360 peripheral camera vision that the more advanced mobile suits dominate most conflict, though plenty of old junkers and outdated tech is still around.That's still better than most of the Gundam spinoff timeline shit where the giant mecha just overtake everything from the get-go most of the time.
>>555210387What's a tank going to do now?
Weapon designs in this game are nuts. You have guns you have to mag dumb 30 rounds in enemy to kill them. But you also have guns that can one shoot those enemies.
>>555209450I appreciate the offer, I'm probably done for the night. I shot way too many squids today.
>>555211293Yeah, a machinegun is going to take way more shots than a recoilless rifle to kill a tank.
>>555210623I do like that it's played as a source of conflict in 00 season 1, though. I found myself rooting against the meisters for the first 2/3ths of the season, because it was pretty interesting watching the governments of the blocs trying to figure out how to contend with no longer having martial superiority.
>>555210938Now apply that logic to a mech. Mechs are a meme in real warfare. Only useful in urban environments.
>>555211293What happens when you let a inbred Slav be in charge of your weapon balancing alongside a loud group of nerftrannies who think everyone should confirm to their shit taste.
>>555211628Space is probably the bigger thing of note, but urban environments are a big deal in warfare too. Just look at how Helldivers here have such a hassle dealing with city missions because of all the clutter and too much shit condensed together for easy traversal for any vehicle.
>>555210387I think idea is that tank needs crew. Mech/suits just one pilot.Modern tanks have crew of 3-4. Most tanks still have 4 men crews. But there was drive toward 3 men crews. Thanks to autoloaders and automated guns. But with modern warfare. We are moving back to 4 men crew. With 4th becoming unmanned system operator. In helldivers. Where you drop stuff from big ship from space. You have to haul stuff around the galaxy. Big tanks with big crews might not be effective or even possible. But you still need firepower. Thus smaller suits and smaller tanks.
>>555211628A mech for urban warfare you say?
>>555211824>Video games are real life now
>>555211869Urban mechs are one of the most logical mech designs, being pretty much a tank on legs.
>>555211732>>555211628Tanks have sucked in urban warfare since 80s. But why wouldn't mechs suck in urban warfare. They face same proplem. Barriers that limit their movement and visibility. Enemies can shot from any floor of apartment buildings. From cellar window to top floor. From both sizes of street. They should have better mobility. But they still face issues of enemy ambush them from all sides and having cover of buildings.
>>555212084The thing about it is that they can just.. walk over those barriers. Or in a combat scenario, breach them without worrying about treads getting potentially jammed up. Shit, our Emancipators literally bulldoze anything smaller than a building just romping through. At that point it's map and order logistics and how clever the enemy is. If you can take a tank out with an ambush, you already have the advantage against most other options in the first place.
>>5552097143/4, anon went to take a break (read: jacking off)
>>555211779>I think idea is that tank needs crew. Mech/suits just one pilot.If you have a mech that only needs one crewman then you are way past the point of being able to have a tank that has one crewman. Less crewmembers isn't that good because the less people you have the more they have to do at once.>But there was drive toward 3 men crews. Thanks to autoloaders and automated guns.But with modern warfare. We are moving back to 4 men crew. With 4th becoming unmanned system operator.Pretty much every big 3-4 man "future tank" has role agnostic controls meaning every station can do everything so in theory you can have one guy do everything like it's fucking War Thunder. >>555212084I agree. Realistically the only place where legs are superior to wheels or tracks is extremely rough terrain and alternative locomotion types like climbing, and in the first case you probably want infantry anyway or you just make your vehicles big enough to crush the obstacles and avoid dealing with headaches that making walkers brings, like stability and complex leg movements. Rolling motion is also so incredibly more efficient than walking it's actually surprising nature hasn't come up with some way to do it before us.>>555212235>The thing about it is that they can just.. walk over those barriers. Unless your mech is excessively big (at which you run into ground pressure and being obnoxiously hard to hide, any barrier it could walk over would be easily crushed by a tank. >Or in a combat scenario, breach them without worrying about treads getting potentially jammed up. Shit, our Emancipators literally bulldoze anything smaller than a building just romping through.Because Helldivers isn't a realistic physics simulation. A walker with a high center of gravity and very small "pushing area" is much more likely to get stuck in shit or even just fall over than a tank with a dozer blade.
>>555212084Mechs assaulting cities just requires us to use proper breaching technique (throwing explosives into a room) but scaled up.
>>555211628Anon the image is supposed to show a Manticore that has been flipped upside down. Happens every now and then for mysterious piggy reasons.
>>555212742>proper breaching technique (throwing explosives into a room) but scaled up.Good thing we have solved that issue centuries ago without having to invent mechs.
>>555211293Aim better
>>555212063Theyre also a massive, bulky, target. Its like a fat white girl at a black man party. Just begging for someone to drone the shit out of it.
>>555131135>unreasonable micro-purchase pricesthis game has some of the cheapest mtx in gaming right next to warframe
>>555212084>But they still face issues of enemy ambush them from all sides and having cover of buildings.Its such a double edged sword, too. Buildings provide natural cover but they also provide ample ambush places for the enemy. Remove the buildings, now your mech is a giant, walking crosshair.

>>555213180Maybe power armour is the way to go.
>>555212856Is the artillery leading the charge at the front? Did you have to wait for the artillery to get into position? Is the artillery shell larger than the barrel bomb tossed by hand (ha ha you didn't include hands on your robot?)?
>Can crawl right in front of a squid and he doesnt react>Miss a shot over 200 meters away and now every illuminate knows my exact locationOk, Sven. Sure thing.
>>555213506>Is the artillery leading the charge at the front? What for? And arguably there are answers to that need too.>Did you have to wait for the artillery to get into position?You also need to wait for the mech to get into position to throw his explosives and that's much more of a risky prospect than having a bunch of guys kilometers away twiddling their thumbs waiting for a call. I'm sure in the two minutes it will take the house you're trying to hit won't move.>Is the artillery shell larger than the barrel bomb tossed by handThat enterietly depends on how big the hand is, and artillery can toss many more projectiles. Shame you missed the only good argument you might have had which is accuracy and collateral damage, but those are typically worthwhile tradeoffs for not putting your guys in danger.

>>555199985SES Hammer of Conviction
>>555216874Its actually good on every planet if you don't play like absolute ass.
>>555216874If you focus on objectives rather than fightmaxxing, the Warbond is actually pretty overpowered if you know what you're doing.

I wish the "fun is a buzzword" fags from /v/ would go find somewhere else to be gay.
>>555217982>stealth warbondIt's a combat engineers bond because those are the good things in it.The stealth shit is all shit because there is no reason to ever play stealth.
>>555218154>In the warbond that introduced 3 stealth armours>In the warbond with multiple weapons designed for stealth>"ermmm its actually the engineer warbond because one weapon"
>>555218202>c4>mineYes, they are the best items in it, stealth is a bigger meme than melee.
>>555217901Yes and thanks to the detection reduction the enemies will almost never target you first and focus on your team instead.It’s actually designed for good players to use in PUBs as it allows you to solo clear most objectives and on those that require fighting - use pubbies as meat shields which is all they are good for most of the time anyway
>>555205806almost every enemy does piss all damage against eachother because their damage is scaled to our health, not theirs. we have the same health as a raider, a hunter, or a voteless
>>555218282>Both designed to avoid detection
>>555218530>short range explosives>avoid detectionIn what world do you look at these and think "stealth".
>>555218680>One mine designed to lure enemies away from you>The other is designed to let you detonate explosives from a long distance to avoid enemies>Both in the stealth warbondHmmmmmmmmmmm................ Very interesting....
>>555218836>mentally ill stealth fag thinks everything is a stealth tool
>>555217850enemies can and will still find you in smoke if anything sets them off like sentries or c4 or dynamite that blew up across the map after its 60 second timer went off
>>555218680Are you mentally ill?Sneaking into somewhere to plant explosives is a very common video game trope and actually used IRL by anyone from chuds, terrorists, insurgents to special forces.

>>555219012Grunt fantasy.
>>555218836What point are you trying to make?You can use any of the tools in the war bond in any mission you want.You can choose to play stealthily for most objectives, and you can simply not choose missions that have objectives that preclude stealth; you aren't forced to play them in any way at all.So what are you REALLY complaining about? Other people in your games not playing the way you want to play? Then play solo or find friends who will play stealthily with you.No friends? Is it because you are mentally ill?What point are you trying to make?

>>555219047I remember as a little boy being pissed that Snake couldn't roundhouse kick in the final MGS1 release like in this trailer.
>>555217850Enemies shoot into smoke. If they're in smoke they don't shoot. Smoke is stupidly inconsistent. Even more so for host. But if you break los (I know stupid) while they're in smoke. They stop shooting.

>>555210387>>555212729iirc traditional mobile suits are designed for space combat and very easily eat shit in atmosphere/on the ground. only exceptional pilots with good awareness and reaction times or a MS with some strong ass boosters is a credible threat.
