>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.

Can Epocsissies even kill spore titans without reloading?
>>
>>565768623
A fully charged epoch shot inflicts 830 damage to a spore titan's head. Three shots is 2490 damage. A spore titan's head has 2500 HP.

>>565768623
Depends on if its headshots, probably. Far easier to just kill them with an ultimate + gigga grenade combo.

It can only one-hit it on perfect conditions in which RR would have an even more perfect condition to kill it aka directly in front of it.
Otherwise SPEAR's tracking is so shit you might need 3 rockets to actually kill it.

It has some niche applications that barely make it usable vs the bots and technically bugs on dragon roach maps. The low-power shot is pretty efficient at killing things like AA/mortar turrets or those obonxious bunker guns that defend fortresses and command bunkers. The high power shot has some niche use cases vs some heavies since it inflicts its damage via a high armor pen explosion. For enemies with lots of explosion vulnerable weak points, it can potentially inflict a lot of damage from splashing multiple hitboxes at once. For example the dragon roach is vulnerable to this. Chargers can be put into a bleed-out state in one hit if you hit them in the right spot on their back. Vox engines are one such enemy that is very vulnerable to high AP explosions, but the epoch can't quite exploit that weakness because of its absolutely fucking PATHETIC explosion radius. If it had a meaningful radius on the explosion, then the epoch would be the meta AT weapon vs vox engines since one blast in the right spot would splash two tracks, two track plates, and probably the torso and some of the side plates too.

The other thing holding the epoch back is its dogshit spread. It has an order of magnitude worse spread than its peers like the EAT/quasar cannon. I'm using order of magnitude literally and not just a figure of speech. Before they "fixed it" it was TWO orders of magnitude worse. So despite being the AT weapon most dependent on sniping weakpoints and hitting just the right spot to splash multiple hitboxes, it by far is the least precise one. Player skill is very much mitigated since the round can just fly sideways out of the barrel.

If retards would quit glazing it, then it might actually get some decent buffs like fixing the spread, increasing the AOE radius, or increasing the mag size.

Epoch is fundamentally flawed because AH in their infinite wisdom made the beeping audio a separate file instead of being built into the gun like the railgun.That means ANY type of lag from input or connection will either drown out the sound or completely mute it because the game's shitty ass audio balancing is fighting over what sound plays. Railgun is 100% consistent with the beeps and can be trained unlike the epoch

There's like four of them.

1. The charge meter turns red and starts glowing
2. You start hearing the higher pitched whining sound
3. The blue bubble particle at the tip reappears
4. The pistons on the top sink all the way into the weapon (the blue rings disappear)

You have like 1 full second in this state to release the shot and it'll still deal full damage.

IMO the *ACK* risk isn't a significant reason to hate the epoch. I think that the weapon needs buffs, but self-death via overcharge falls into the skill-issue category. A bigger concern is firing the weapon with a full charge and dying because some random de-synced invisible hitbox happened to be in your face which causes the blast to explode on an invisible wall right in front of you.

Bugs aside, the quasar has a myriad of very legitimate reasons to hate on it. Its poor accuracy. Its ammo economy and the obnoxious situation where you often need two hits to kill a target but the magazine contains 3 rounds, so pre-emptively reloading after that kill will waste 33 fucking % of the magazine while saving the mag might force you to charge->stationary reload->charge to kill one enemy. The short range because the round self-detonates after a few tenths of a second in flight is a concern since you can't do cross the map snipes with it like you can with any other AT. The number of enemies just heavily immune to explosive damage is another problem, but that one is at least tempered by some enemies being vulnerable to AOE damage. The tiny as fuck AOE radius prevents it from being effective as adhoc crowd clear despite memepoch glazer lies (the ONLY time it is effective is vs enemies still onboard a dropship or immediately after disembarkation)

this is the shit that weirds me out
the OUTER radius of the epoch is about the same size as the inner of the grenade launcher, a weapon that fires infinitely faster, has more ammo and fast mobile reloads.

The spread and range limit is obviously meant to make it unable to be a proper AT weapon, but the aoe is so fucking hilariously tiny that it sucks at chaff clearing as well. So what the fuck do they want it to be?

Spoiler: They never spent more than 5 minutes thinking about the weapon since release
>>
>>565771228
The 3 shots seems barely a reason to hate it when most patrols come with 1 heavy and chaff.
This means that you get to kill the heavy and still have 1 shot to clean up whatever chaff survived the first two shots.
Just remember it isn't only for AT use like the quasar.
>>
>>565771228
everything you said is correct

>>
>>565771498
I mean, the explosion is AP5, which does allow it to deal full damage to all the body parts on heavies. Pretty much every other AT weapon's explosive component is a hilariously small AP3 pop that does almost nothing (excluding obvious shit like the Ultimatum). And one of the frequent anecdotes you hear from Epoch defenders is that you can blow out the entire underside of a Dropship, which often gets you better results than trying to take out an engine after it starts hovering.

>>565771507
There's an easy way to kill that heavy with one Epoch shot: toss an Eagle Rocket Pods just before charging your shot, both of them hitting the same target will often kill it before it can do anything.
>>
I would put money on that people who think the Epoch is bad also think the Bastion is bad.

Well, it does have a few uses. Did you know that a charged Epoch shot from the front will kill a Jet Brigade Hulk due to the explosion instantly destroying its heat sink? Also, if you can hit a tank turret from the side (either on an Annihilator Tank or the turret tower version), the explosion will transfer to the heatsink and destroy it?

to be honest you never needed to dive before that so it is not a good tutorial where you are instantly introduced to a deathly scenario as soon as you get a text prompt of a new ability.

as for penetrator, it is truly a "jack of all trades, master of none" - you can kill any non-heavy unit with just by shooting center mass.
Simple, practical, gets the job done. The "Toyota" of primaries, kinda boring but a safe pick.

Were you here when they made all those changes to enemy durability and AP2 damage because everyone said that AP3 was a direct upgrade over AP2? Right now the Lib Pen is in a kind-of-bad place, it's serviceable for chaff killing but a bunch of medium enemies got big durability buffs so it's only marginally stronger at killing certain enemies even if they have AV2 body parts that reduce the Stock Liberator's damage by 35% (for example, Alpha Commander heads take 27 damage per round from Stock Lib and 30 damage per round from Lib Pen). The only time AP3 actually comes into use is if you need to target AV3 body parts such as Devastator torsos or Overseer heads, where AP2 would otherwise deal literally zero damage.

As for Lib Carbine vs. Stock Lib, it's mainly a choice between whether you want very good rapid fire and slightly better ergo (which facilitates strapping on heavier weapon mods) or if you want reduced recoil and spread. As a bullet hose Lib Carbine is better, you just have to switch to semi or burst if you want to more reliably hit targets at longer ranges.

You're only ever likely to encounter 3 or 4 at the same time these days, and only if you let them pile up. Most of the Cyborg missions I've played after they nerfed the spawn rate, you're more likely to see 2 or 3 on the entire map at the same time.

That being said, they really do need to rebalance the HP values. The sarcophagus should be a true weak point that allows you to kill it in less shots than trying to deplete its main HP pool but not something you can blow up in only one or two shots. The main cannons should not be as hard to destroy as its main body, I want to see a lot more situations where we can maim and cripple them and destroy their subsystems to make them less threatening.

If you could knock out their cannons and treads, they'd be significantly more engaging to fight. Right now they are an Ultimatum + Leveller check because they are too dangerous to engage in otherwise. They're significantly worse on open maps because there is no cover.

I feel mostly the same way about Annihilator Tanks, though for different reasons. You should be allowed to knock out their treads, disable their main guns/coaxial machine gun, damage the turret ring to prevent it from rotating, that sort of stuff. But the truth of the matter is that they're so slow and so non-threatening that it's just easier to plant a rocket in the turret and call it a day.

even without wings 3 body shots is enough for the epoch to kill a spore titan.
the wings on dragonraoches aren't even any less durable or explosive resistant than the rest of a bile titans body, and they only transfer 30% to main. so yes while they do contribute some damage that pushes it from 3 to 2 shots for dragonroaches, the damage of a third shot is still enough to make up for the lack of wings, not to mention the spore titan having 500 extra main HP on top of it all.

The tanks are in a weird spot because they're supposed to be more threatening than Hulks but not as threatening as a Factory Strider or Vox Engine, but they just aren't. War Striders replace tanks and while they are annoying to deal with, they have some map presence.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect your weapons to do they job they're advertised to do. The anti-tank weapon should be good at anti-tank, the versatile weapon should be versatile - and the epoch is SUPPOSED to be versatile but it really isn't, it's just kind of substandard at everything rather than decently good at everything.

I don't know how IRL tank crews operate but it would be cool to see the bots squad up to protect the tanks, like sticking some Hulks around it and some heavy infantry.
>>565782341
The armament on the tank should also impact it's behavior. Barrage tanks should try to stay in rear and retreat when pressured, Shredders should be more aggressive and push into player fortifications, and the Annihilator could be in a happy middle ground between the two. I have no clue if it would be balanced or fun to fight, just throwing some ideas out there.

This could apply to all underperforming weapons. Tooany are un utterly mediocre or bad states, and they'll never get better because useful idiots keep going "Nooo noooo it's actually so good and peak against this ONE enemy in particular".

How many planets have we captured vs lost over the last couple months?

Reminder AH spent like two months trying to trim down the filesize of the game and only managed to save like 10GB that got eaten up by an update anyways and then they gave up

Call me crazy, but when I'm in a "heavily armored mech", my concern should be enemies with AT weapons like rockets, enemy vehicles or really big bugs that can smash through my armor. Some fucking trooper bot with nothing but a rifle or small bugs shouldn't deal any damage to a heavily armored vehicle. That's part of the whole vehicle fantasy.
If AH really cared about muh realism the tank and mechs would be balanced around a handful of enemies that can deal serious damage to it because they can defeat its armor, instead of AH just lazily buffing durable damage across the board turning vehicles into nothing but HP bloated paper.
>>
>>565796014
i hate arrowhead as well but now you're just making shit up just to be angry
HD2 was so bloated because they operated under the belief that an old developer myth that hasn't been relevant since the early 2000s was "the way" to go to make the 0.1% of retarded HDD groids still trying to game on them load games faster
Then they finally said fuck it and let an outside studio removes all the copied assets which fixed the game's size. This is possibly the single best use case of hiring an outside studio to assist you.
I hope this kills that fucking HDD myth for good.

Huh? What they said was true, though.
Arrowhead did an update that trimmed the game's filesize down to like 70GB or so, which they said was the absolute minimum they could possibly go down to and that it was absolutely impossible to go lower (and resulted in those devlogs where they went over how it's so ingrained into their system and that HDD optimizations were only a part of it an so on). And then the next couple of patches and updates brought that filesize back to how it was before the trimming.
There were even people who were actively browsing the files and seen that they only reduced the file duplication from 16 copies per asset to 14 copies or some shit like that.

And then when they brought in that other company to fix it for them, they removed all duplicates that Arrowhead made, most of which were COMPLETELY unnecessary even by the "industry data" that they had used. They straight-up admitted that they went way overboard because they were "accounting for unknowns" and hadn't even tested the difference themselves.

>Gives hive guards a bit more purpose
>it is more palatable to kill them with low AP weapons now since the HP of their squishy bits was reduced, so precision low AP attacks can kill them in fewer hits
The only problems as far as I'm concerned revolve around the change cucking sentries, which is a separate issue that could have been resolved. The MG emplacement probably could have been AP4 with low durable damage values so that it's poor at killing the big boys. The gatling sentry could have been given a small ~1m radius explosion effect on its rounds to set it apart from the other sentries a bit and permit it to splash around hive guard armor.

>>565800183
You're being disingenuous with the "only one hive guard left" bit since the sentries have no logic to engage them at a lower priority. Making sentries smarter would be another potential fix, but the swedes love the idea of sentries wasting ammo against things that they can't scratch or the laser sentry blowing itself up instead of cooling down.

Funny thing is that MG sentries still dunk on Hiveguards for the most part because their AI is completely dogshit. They will constantly walk off in random directions exposing their flanks or simply be on an elevation that allows the sentries to fire directly into their bellies.
Your average bufftroon will not know this, of course, because he doesn't play the game.

again, i don't care if i die in this game. there's so much random shit that ends up with death, there is literally no reason to use it as a point of pride other than being surprised at the end of a round
so to reiterate
>caring about dying at any difficulty

Liberator is so good with the attachments but I kinda hate how they ruin its beautiful rectangular shape.

This is my favorite meme spawned by helldiver's. What's yours?

I do look at my gun

I have exo experts, entrenched division, siege breakers, redacted regiment, borderline justice, urban legends, servants of freedom, democratic demolition, dust devils, control group, force of law and python commandos

What should I buy next? Did plenty super shekel farming and got enough for a new goybond not even 24 hours later. Steeled veterans is old but has the senator which has heavy pen and a legally distinct bolter. Supposedly I got all the meta ones so its just fun time now.

Instead of projecting, you could work on your lack of skill so you don't have to cope and project in situations like this, y'know.
