>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?
HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 crossplay, co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC, PS5 and XBox Series X/S where players fight against hordes of alien insects, robots and squids to Spread Democracy™. Players wage war on contested planets, 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.

>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. Its mechanics were based primarily on Arrowhead's first game, Magicka.

I dont even get the hate for the epoch, 500kg bomb is simple too popular and popular bad no matter what, Maxigum was hyped and fan favorite design and the actual gun being okish definetly soured many people opinions about it, but the Epoch is nothing like that, is not that popular and is not something everyone wanted and was let down, do why the fixation on hating it.

People cant adapt, they still try to play those as regular missions, fighting every patrol staying on the same hill as reinforcements spawn eternally waiting to kill them all instead of doing objectives.

Similar happen with the rapid adquisition, those missions are the only place CC and other non lethal strstegems can find use, people would still try to outkill the hoards of bots over doing the objective, just keep firing and firing and dont even try to get the metal ingots into the box.
>>
>>562532993
I am a minmaxer but also someone who enjoys experimental builds and i like all of those. Every weapon is good and every stratagem is good and they all have a place in the game. Maybe the sterilizer is the only weapon that needs a bit more oomph added to it. Right now it's really hard to build around it.

Because it has a ton of downsides for no upsides. It does alright damage in a tiny AoE, comparable to the bfgl and the visual doesn't match that size, so it misleads people into thinking they can clear crowds with it if need be. It has 3 shots to a mag when most things you shoot it with take two shots to kill. It had an unforgiving timing window for the full charge on release and didn't have good visual indicators for that, and if you blow it up you die and you have to wait five or six minutes for another. It has a stationary reload which while fast is still a stationary reload. It requires you to charge up your shot for three seconds before firing, in which your target might die or turn around and deny you a shot the weak point.
There are lots of issues with it and it could really use some help, like lots of other weapons in the game.

The malding over the Maxigun is that people somehow expected it to be an all-in-one problem solver with zero downsides, like firing AP4 rounds from a 2000 round backpack and being able to move while firing. It's a serviceable weapon right now, but you actually have to account for its flaws.

>>562533764
I highly suspect that all the pussyblasting over the Epoch are people who used it at launch and somehow assume that it hasn't been buffed ever since. Like >>562534305 who somehow doesn't know that it takes only 2 seconds to reach full charge and that there's a full 1-second grace window on the full charge.

I literally said it had an unforgiving timing window when it launched dude... it's three quarters of a second at the end now too. People ask why no one likes the epoch, I gave you an answer. It's because it's clunky to use and made a bad first impression and most people would rather just pick a quasar.

Epoch gets a bad rap because it requires charging and has three shots. The charging sucks and frequently gets in the way of doing shit on the fly which you often need to do and the three shot capacity makes the weapon have a ton of downtime. It's annoying to use, I'd rather bring EATs.

just tried amendment after reading so much glaze about it here and found it really mid.
besides aiming at heads bullet tracers show that sometimes the bullet travels just a few degrees off center, resulting in needing a few shots to land a headsot anyway, at which point might as well be using lib carbine with its predictable spray pattern.

So Joel's gonna fuck us with two or three new bug attacks in the next 24 hours then, huh. Also, I got smokescreen grenades to see how they compare to smoke grenades and they absolutely suck ass. No idea why they have such a dogshit AoE, like Alexus thinks people are even using smokes congenitally to need the impact version of smokes to be shittier than the normal/free one. Why the fuck would people pay 300 supercreds for something that is worse than the free grenade? That serb is legitimately retarded.

Because it looks silly and awkward the way you're just sitting there to the side with your legs tucked in and your hand on your lap. In fact the whole setup just doesn't look cool despite being so strong, if it was built more like a real AT gun it'd feel a lot cooler to use.

Don't have them in mindless. Also theres actually a higher proportion of harvesters in mindless than the other factions because all mindless does is cut out some units so the remaining ones get a larger ratio of the spawn pool so while anything can potentially kill a harvester not everything is as efficient for dealing with several of them at once fast enough.

A lot of it is residual in the wake of the 60-day patches.

Before, the Recoilless, EAT and Quasar all did the exact same damage, with the tradeoff being between sustained fire while being forced to wear a backpack and stationary reload (Recoilless), two- or three-tap rapid fire on long cooldown (EAT) and infinite ammo on timed cooldown (Quasar). After the 60-day patches, the Recoilless was buffed to do 50% more damage per shot than Quasar and EAT, which made it the strongest AT weapon in the game (Spear got cucked due to only dealing a bit more damage per shot in exchange for carrying far less backpack ammo). So anyone who mained Quasar or EAT before the patches felt like they got screwed over.

It also didn't help that there were fewer backpack options at the time (no Gas Dog, no Hot Dog, no Warp Pack, no Portable Hellbomb), and a third of them were really shitty (of the 6 existing options, the Riot Shield and Rover were still worthless).

The longer I play this game the more I just enjoy smokediving.

Give it the same damage per shot as the EAT
>>
>>562572280
Back in the days of having to shoot a behemoth charger 5 times in the face with a quasar to kill it this man right here is the goat but I haven’t seen a commando in a loadout in months or years. Off the top of my head it’s probably better than anything else for taking out bot gunships but there’s always better generalized options that are just as good.
I have no clue how to fix this thing. Give 2 per call down but then it creeps the EAT. idk
>>
>>562571128
>>buff already great GL to heavy pen for some reason
I still cant figure out what the possible thought process there was.
>>
>>562572280
1. Give it a Spear-style lock-on option
2. Reduce its cooldown from 120 to 100

>>562572412
That's not an answer and you know it.
>>
>>562572280
make it identical to the EAT in terms of damage and increase the cooldown enough to where you wouldn't feel like the EAT is a wasted pick.
Now you have 4 EATs on your back at the tradeoff of having a longer cooldown.
>>
>>562572280
Give it more ergo and make its rockets more responsive when guiding them. If they want it to be a skillcannon that trades cooldown for potential value if you hit weakspots, actually make it capable of hitting those weakspots.
>>
>>562572962
There's no need to increase the cool down. The EATs 60 seconds alone is more than enough to make it an evergreen pick on bots and bugs.

>>
>>562573016
>If they want it to be a skillcannon that trades cooldown for potential value if you hit weakspots, actually make it capable of hitting those weakspots.
The problem is that there's no real role for a weapon like that at the moment. The EAT and quasar already require careful aim to preform well.
>>
We need more winterized armours with the other armour passives. Or they can just be lazy cunts and let us swap armour passives with other types already.
>>
>>562572280
Increase projectile speed and reduce cooldown slightly. Or maybe give it an incendiary mode like the real M202 to make it more flexible and justify the longer cooldown compared to EATs.
>>562572962
I don't think that'd be good. The appeal of the Commando for me is that it rewards good aim/weak spot knowledge and lets you kill 4 heavies with 1 launcher despite the lower damage per rocket. It's a cool niche and making it into a Quasar/EAT variant would be disappointing.

It can already do all that and no one uses it. Precision AT weapons need staying power.

Because it has 10 ergo and the rockets are extremely slow to respond to you moving the laser, so outside of sniping unalerted targets outside their hearing range actually hitting those weakspots is a diceroll. Hence my suggesting being to fix both of those things.

I fail to see what's wrong with the 500kg. Epoch kinda sucks but at least it can work in all three fronts. Maxigun is literally unusable against bots.
>>
>>562577353
The only upside of the 500kg is that precious demo 50 for rogue labs, detector towers, and strat jammers. For actually killing things it is inferior to most other options, most notably just plain eagle airstrike.
>>
>>562577353
As a "kill everything in this zone" I feel like the 500kg misses more than it hits. As a utility capable of doing many tasks it works better. Eagle strafes do better at killing heavies and gutting swarms. It's a good glue at holding loadouts together but as a specific weapon there are better more specialised options.
>>
>>562577675
Yeah i kind of see it as OPS sidegrade. It gets something done in all three fronts just like the epoch and i can only wish for it to do the job better. Nothing too wrong about that.
Maxigun on the other hand is completely useless in the bot front.

Difficulties 1-10 should be consolidated and reworked into difficulties 1-5 to achieve better playerbase grouping.
>Trivial and Easy -> Difficulty 1
with the difficulty and rewards trending towards Easy.
>Medium and Challenging -> Difficulty 2
with the difficulty and rewards trending between the two
>Hard and Extreme -> Difficulty 3
with the challenge and rewards more on the side of Extreme
>Suicide Mission and Impossible -> Difficulty 4
with their challenge and rewards around Impossible level
>Helldive + Super Helldive -> Difficulty 5
with the challenge and rewards a little above current Super Helldive
This would go a massive way towards consolidating the playerbase, increasing lobby options, and insulating against players being spread out across 10 difficulties - which isn’t a problem now, but will be years in the future as the playerbase shrinks.

I hate the Reprimand so much. The recoil is awful. The sound/feel of running out of rounds is grating, and you have to put up with it all the time because the mags are so small.

>Torcher worst primary.
By nature of it having a guaranteed CC effect on a primary weapon and good damage on top of that, it is not the worst primary in the game. I've gone high kills with it and a flame sentry where I just cross the beams with it in a triangle formation and create a kill zone in cities almost as good as an orbital napalm, but on a shorter cooldown. You get leaper seed and that's an easy 600+ kills game. A 3/5 primary. A real stinker 2/5 or less primary would be the constitution. I've 25'd almost every other primary in the game, but I absolutely refuse to 25 that piece of shit.

500kg has lost favor because it keeps silently breaking and then silently getting fixed

>>562594015
Very good damage per round
High stagger as long as you're using a pump-action that isn't the Halt or Sweeper
Before the drag force and status buildup nerfs, incendiary shotguns could ignite anything in one pellet, making them extremely strong chaff killers

Currently they unfortunately fill the same role as any video game shotgun, big close range damage (and, depending on the shotgun, enough stopping power to stop any medium enemy in their tracks). But in the past, you could actually deal with chaff waves pretty reliably by coating them with a few spreads of pellets at moderate distance even if you weren't using the Incel Breaker or Cookout.

>>562594834
Repairing/reloading exosuits is a fucking stupid idea. They're currently balanced as consumable power-ups, which is perfectly fine. They just need to be buffed in a way that the power-up feels more meaningful and it's more difficult to lose the power-up, but not at lower levels. Which can be done simply by introducing a branch of Super Destroyer upgrades and gating most of them behind Super Samples.

It objectively has a lot of downsides and it has very few upsides. It only shines, and I use that word liberally, vs the bots where there are number of situations where you can score one hit kills. Even then it is hamstrung when it comes to precision hulk visor/war strider eye weakpoints because it has a massive 30 spread compared to the 4 spread that rival AT weapons have
>but you can still hit visors
It's possible yes, but the point is that for no good reason at all there is a higher degree of variance with the epoch that takes skill out of the player's hands and introduces more RNG regarding whether or not you actually hit the weak point that you were aiming at. Why should this weapon, which is more dependent on precision aim than rival options, have a spread that is a full degree of magnitude more extreme than its peers? There is no reason beyond alexus being a spiteful cunt. It's not the biggest problem on its own, but it's just one more problem compounding with all of the weapon's other problems.

The most notable thing that sets the epoch apart from other AT options is that it inflicts its damage via an AOE explosion. That is often a disadvantage because numerous enemies have hitbox components as resistant or outright immune to explosives. This causes your damage to be ineffectually split where your explosive damage hits the main HP pool while your direct damage targets the subcomponent. Harvesters and the new squid mechs are notorious examples of damn near the entire enemy being 100% explosive immune. The AOE damage has the potential to be an upside vs some enemies with many explosion vulnerable components, like dragon roach wings or vox engine tracks, but the epoch struggles to leverage that potential because of its spitefully tiny AOE radius.

>>562602945
Why type all that garbage out? What difference does it make if the epoch is slightly worse than other AT options? You're still gonna extract and clear the D10 mission with little trouble. HD2 is a silly party game, it's impossible to lose.
>>
Can we get webm anon to demonstrate the spread the epoch has, because I have literally no issue hitting weakspots with it aside from hulk eyeballs at like 40m, and even then it's kind of uncommon to miss. Its spread keeps getting brought up like it's massive because the number 30 sounds spooky, but it's really not. The guy who tweaked the halo assault rifle to have goofy spread and 60 bullets knows more about this, since spread didn't behave exactly how he expected.

>>
>>562602469

>>562603268
Weird goalpost shift. Concession accepted and all that jazz. The epoch could be made a true peer to the other options with a few minor adjustments.
>putting the spread in line with its rivals to increase player agency and minimize RNG
>increasing the radius of the explosion to put it in the same ballpark as the RR HE so that can actually act as a crowd clearing weapon and can shine in situations vs enemies with multiple explosion vulnerable components.
>improve its overall ammo economy by increasing its magazine size to 4+

>>562603364
The point is that, for no good reason, it is taking agency out of your hands. When you do miss, a sizable percentage of your misses will be because the variance randomly fucked with your aim and not because of any fault of your own. This is one of the weapon's downsides.

Intentionally so, which I don't think you're giving enough thought to. Is Alexus a spiteful, incompetent moron? More than likely. Is it possible that he wasn't the sole designer for the Epoch, or even that he accidentally did something right? Perhaps.

To me, the Epoch seems held back by a bunch of little annoyances, but it kind of has to be, otherwise it would overshadow its contemporaries. It's an anti-tank support weapon that can be reloaded and doesn't require a backpack slot. Its competition is mainly the Quasar, thought one could make the argument for the EAT-17 and Commando as well. If you give the Epoch perfect accuracy, and get rid of all its other idiosyncrasies and minor annoyances, it's just a better Quasar.

Seven and a half minutes is what I remember seeing. At least that's how much time elapsed since mission start.
>>
>>562604215
It's never going to be a better quasar. The quasar has much greater range, the quasar doesn't need to carefully snipe weakpoints vs many opponents, the quasar has OHKO breakpoints that the epoch doesn't have, etc.

Alexus was spiteful by setting the epoch to have such a shitty spread on day 1. Back when it had a triple digit spread. Plebbit bought the story that this was a "bug/mistake", but a bug would have been them fatfingering in an extra digit when defining the spread. The current spread value is completely unrelated to the original spread, and is proof that the torches and pitchforks made him sheepishly dial back the spread from "can't hit the broadside of a barn" to "subpar for no reason".

Which isn't particularly useful, outside of cross-mapping shrieker nests. The rest is simply a minor difference between them - one does its dmg from the projectile aiming at weakspots, the other does explosive dmg hitting multiple parts. That alone isn't enough of a differentiation imo.

Only if you don't want to have a backpack slot.
The minigun should be a better MMG anyway because it locks you out of a backpack. This is why the backpack grenade launcher should be better than a regular grenade launcher(but is still vastly worse currently).
Any backpack fed support weapon should have the raw tactical power to justify using over a similar support weapon+supply pack.
>>
>>562605198
I found myself running out of ammo much quicker than I normally would, maybe all the extra missed shots from walking and shooting really added up that much. Or I was just able to blow the entire load faster because I didn't need to stop shooting to reposition.

>>562605262
There’s a very good reason to change it, increase the mag size to 4 and decrease total mags by 1. It takes 2 shots to kill most targets, leaving the last shot in the mag feeling very awkward. Oh and uncharged shots should have a bigger AOE and close bug holes, other plasma weapons have a reason to use quick uncharged shots but they’re awful on the epoch.
>>
>>562605457
All grenades should get 2+ more uses
>>
>>562605384
No reloads is more than enough reason to use it over the MMG. MMG's mag is tiny and it has stationary reload, it fucking sucks. They even removed the jetpack reload so MMG's backpack options aren't all that great.

Then get genning!
>>
>>562605674
If so, I would also demand every weapon ammo pool to be looked at and possibly adjusted accordingly.
>>
>>562605586
The extra shot is in case you miss. Uncharged shots are for if you can't get a charged shot off but need something to die, like if there's a medium chaff enemy that's about to flinch you.
>>
>>562605621
Unless you're completely alone and trying to chew through multiple impalers the MMG's magazine is completely adequate. Never needing to reload does not make it much better in situations that I would use an MMG in.
>>
>>562605724
That would also be a positive for it getting gutted yeah, you can tell they balance around it. Just fucking gut it or even better remove it
>>
>>562605419
>>
>>562605725
It would have the exact same amount of ammo, but now you can take down two heavies per reload. Uncharged shots feel pretty crap but it’s not a make or break, would simply be nice.
>>
>>562605662
If I'm using a supply pack it's just to feed whatever MG I feel like using at the time, I never use MGs otherwise.
>>
>>562604823
you don't need to pop the shield, you just throw a pyrotech on on its legs and it dies
>>
Skins for support weapons and side arms when?
>>
>>562605915
I would agree with 4 shots per mag, but then I'd worry that you'd only get 1 out of 3 mags back from resupplies instead of 2 out of 4
>>
>>562605967
Still need to get that warbond, just done want to buy it for a single grenade. I only see complete faggots use the armour from it which also makes me not want to touch it
>>
>>562605967
he asked about how the shields work tho
>>562606067
the amendment is pretty fun and the armor is like a less-faggy siege ready, idk which fags have ruined it for you though
>>
>>562606139
The rifle does look good but I don’t think i’d use it over the censor because it just looks so cool. The larpers always seem to run that armour, very cringe. But it’s really just 1k for a grenade that i’m not always going to use
>>
>>562604994
Absolutely needed. The delay for moving after you stop shooting ruins it for me.
>>
I haven’t used another support weapon since C4 came out, it really can do just about anything if you’re sneaky.
>>
>>562605865
Terminids could be here.. with an FRV you can go anywhere.
>>
>>562605967
Harvesters? How does that work their legs are so spread out and skinny
>>
>>562605586
Little tech tip.
A charged shot followed by an uncharged shot will kill a hulk if you failed to kill it with one charged shot.
>>
idk man, everything just feel shit and gay compared to the Double Freedom

>>
>>562608241
Brass Beast is good, it just polarizes heavy more towards reliance on positioning. Running it with the Family Business and FoS can be decently fun as long as theres no snipers or you can avoid sightlines and focus down overextending power classes or out of position flankers. I have fun with it enough.

it still works alright
2 shots obtruders in an aoe, 2 shots flying overseers, 3 shots grounded overseers
gatekeepers, veracitors and harvesters you whip out the support for, but it can still take out the pilots and shield generators in a few shots
I've been running it with the hmg and soloing d10s without much effort
>>
>>562612441
>but it can still take out the pilots and shield generators in a few shots
the punisher plasma, right? not the purifier.
the punisher plasma shouldn't be able to. all of its damage is explosive and those parts are 100% explosive immune. It can only damage the main HP of veracitors while gatekeepers and harvesters have too much armour for it to do anything against them

Gave it another try on bugs. It can kill things now, at least. Still feels like an odd niche and kind of mediocre at everything, I would prefer the benefits of the crossbow to it. Will need to test it in high lag environments and see if it still holds up, I know that was a major issue before where the damage just seemed to be eaten.
