>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.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to change the Hive Guard's front plating so it was AP3 ablative? Like beefed up Overseer armor?

the mech is still powerful, it's just that getting swarmed eats shit.

this is fucking baffling though. I assume they tanked a couple bilespewers full on and thought that was too much in testing so just overnerfed it.

>>565314556
yeah it's fucking weird that theres mutlitple unarmoured states, one heavy and one medium and then 5~? tank armour states.

I wonder if they spent so much time on that in the design phases, implemented it and realised way, way too late that it's not necessary but it's already fundamental.

What is this type of balancing called?

>>565314323
I think for the mechs at least AH believes they're powerful and tanky enough, but also know that the community disagrees with that. So they buff them to please the community. But they don't actually want to make them stronger, so they buff enemies along with it to keep the powerlevel of the mech roughly the same.
Then again we had the Bastion that they were completly free to design how they want, and it still cam with enemy durable damage buffs across the board. So who knows. Maybe they really are addicted to overcomplicating everything.
>>
>>565315132
I still sometimes kill them by blowing their ass. I think that the quicker turn speed also affects them while they are charging you, not only after they've charged. That's how it has been feeling to me personally. They are more like a homing missle now.

>>Deflection angle which scales in relation to armor type
deflection angle doesn't scale with armor type, it's a baked in value that every weapon treats the same way other than what penetration that specific weapon has in a specific angle of impact bracket. those brackets being 0 to 19 degree impacts, 20 to 59, 60 to 79, and 80+ degree impacts.

>>565319914
doesn't it still do that thing where the explosion doesn't do damage after a direct hit?
>>
>>565318546
only eagles and orbital projectiles have gradually lower penetration with angle. every other weapon only cares about the extreme angle hit, which is obvious on its face and shouldn't need explaining because of course hitting a target at a near parallel angle is going to see the bullet skid off

they've even made the system less complicated over time. many weapons did used to have various penetration values based on imapct angle beyond the extreme angle hit, but they were all standardized. except the patriot rockets which is the last hold out of the old system.
