I wish there were
Or gas/acid/toxic weapons
Just let me roleplay a Red Alert Desolator you fricking swedish bastards
That's basically what the orbital gas strike is. Also the new mission objective on the bug planets.
gas working on robots is gay
It's not gay because the gas is also corrosive, and as we all know, it's impossible to be both gay and corrosive.
Because, just like IRL, the pesticide will create pesticide-resistant superbugs
Yeah we're getting fliers, they are already in the game since this major order but very rare by the way.
These don't look like spore trees, exactly, given the clustering. I'm guessing aviaries for the flyers?
Ohh, flyers being a new version of stalker would be a good way to have them without constantly splitting player attention from the ground and sky.
Is this real or bug propaganda?
Real
Good. Game severely needs new enemy types to keep it fresh.
The pesticide emitter mission we're doing is going to cause a mutation and be the reason why flying bugs will start appearing
>bugs fly like dragons and have dragon wings instead of flying like fricking bugs and having bug wings
why
for what purpose
The GIANT INSECTS have evolved
man i really fricking hate red dragons
Diaphanous wings wouldn't work at that scale. Exoskeleton would be impractical, too, but significantly less so.
>3 spore covered towers close together
ught ogh
Those are the spawners for the flying enemies, they dont come out of holes and work like Stalker nests, once theyre gone those enemies stop spawning for the game.
What? Giant insects can't fly, so wingdivers are their natural enemy!
frick you're right
What are tremors?
They only happen on desert maps (shalai hulud is coming)
Its a warning that Graboids are about to come out of the ground and eat you if you move
FREE EMS
R
EMS
EMS
its this movie from the early 1990 that's about terminid worms that pop out the ground and eat people. you know they're coming when earthquake like tremors happen. some bacon guy or whatever pwns them though. pretty gud movie.
>finally unlock plas1 scorcher
>it wrecks walkers as long as you hit near the top
does this apply to all explosive primaries?
no! 🙂
All explosive primaries do something different.
Liberator Explosive uses the explosive property for large knockback.
Scorcher uses the explosive property for area damage, hence why it can KO walkers from the front.
Dominator uses the explosive property to amplify weakspot hits, IIRC if you hit a red mark the round actually does explode some.
The bugs don't want you to know this but you can actually shoot while you are getting swarmed lying on the ground and don't need to wait before you get up before you shoot again
Yeah well if I'm ever in a position where Im desperate enough to shoot lying down, that also usually means I'm about to die 5-10 seconds later anyway because I stopped running.
You can shoot while the hunters slow you down and you need to dive away
I know I'm moronic and low level, but is there a strat to manage silo missions with only 2 people total? I always feel like I'm having to restart the damn silos over and over even when me and my friend can somewhat clear decently.
team up with more people dood
Ok glad to know it's a literal player count issue. Guess we will gamble the quickplay shitters.
>"Sending out an SOS!"
be careful to not shoot the silo, it takes a ton of friendly damage
The damage is probably bugged rn Have had spewers vomit and attack the thing and do nothing but 3 hunters killed it in seconds once.
bring a lot of sentries
tesla tower, eat, mech, hmg emplacement
duo helldive consistently
do them on level 2-4
So do you guys play with 1st person when aiming or stick with 3rd?
i use the Defender a lot so FPS for it, i don't use it with support weapons, the sights and gun take up too much screen and i can't aim properly
You can aim in first person?!
press the scroll wheel
Well, I'll be damned. I thought that was only something for the scoped weapons
Varies wildly from gun to gun, or even situationally. DMR is pretty much always, shotgun is never, handguns never, Autocannon I'll go first person if I'm trying to hit something precise like a hulk eye (probably isn't helping). I'll switch between scope zoom and third person fairly often with an assault rifle.
I usually do it by range, point blank I go first person because the auto adjustment fricking sucks, at mid range I stick to the over the shoulder camera and for those long range shots I go first person again.
The advanced aiming mode setting or whatever it's called is fantastic and lets you instantly go into first person aim when you need it.
At first mostly third person but being just so used to FPS i switched completely to first person that being said it makes bot mission with a autocannon a breeze because you can kill pretty much anything from the front, yes even hulks if you snipe their tiny head.
Did the Swedes just make the Termicide Tower missions harder? I played 4 missions last night with no problems and now it's almost impossible to play with never ending multiple swarms of bugs.
Opposite Day? Or maybe Arrowhead has no fricking idea how to make the game consistent?
Probably the latter. I just know that on suicidal and higher I was getting maps where I would get like three fricking Titans per silo and it was getting to be ridiculous
I literally had the opposite problem last night. Every time I turned around I'd have another fricking breach.
Ive been soloing Diff 7 towers with Slugger, Tesla, Arc Thrower, Rover and railcannon
Feels like the opposite for me tbh
How do you keep your tesla tower's alive? Every time I use one a charger is fricking it in seconds
I railcannon the ones that get closest and position myself in a way that they wont charge through the turret
Arc thrower also melts their face off since the last patch, 7-8 zaps are enough to kill one
Last night I tried my first one on 6 and it was impossible, did another on 7 and it went smoothly. Who the frick knows what's going on.
EDF has a can of bug spray with a scope
It's a joke weapon as you'd expect
99% of the shit in EDF is a joke
it's a LOL SO RANDOM SILLY jap sim
it's pure trash never mention it in a helldivers 2 thread again thanks
damn, the dudebro has a short fuse
make me homosexual
>EDF 5 came out in 2019
Did people actually pay full price for that shit? I'm not a graphics gay but that's just insulting
>can't appear offline
wtf is this shit
All in service of their internal crossplay shit (that doesn't even work)
You are supposed to also be forced to have a playstation account too according to what the game says but good thing you can skip it.
dropped
The anti material rifle should be 1 of the primaries instead of those absolute dog shit DMRs
bro it's like a different game when "devs" are in the game enabling god mode. almost as if as though if they gave us fun weapons and a proper power fantasy they'd be justified with charger spam and shit.
What? What is this? Huh?
>chinese writing
Take a guess
That's Korean, moron

>he doesn't use the arc shotgun

Is that a laser pistol?
you bet
yes
>p2w shit in a fricking co-op gayme
I hate this shit so much it's unreal.
>>p2w
source?
MY ass
I can guarantee you that these weapons will be dogshit, and the laser pistol will be completely unusable.
More like pay to lose with these moronic developers.
As long as the Lazer pistol can kill grubs in less than a second it will be meta purely for having unlimited ammo.
it does half the damage of the scythe
the scythe already cant do that
The scythe kills the trash in like 0.5s.
+ 1 second wind up.
Honestly scythe would instantly be great if they get rid of that shit.
I virtually never run out with my slugger after the patch. There's so much ammo on the map plus the resupply every couple minutes. I don't think I've ever died due to insufficient ammo.
A shit tier pistol whose only perm is unlimited ammo is not going to be an upgrade at all.
anon it won't kill faster than the default gun which is the main problem in high difficulties, not being able to kill shit before getting swarmed
the only god tier item in the warbond is the stun grenade
Arc shotgun might be good if it functions similar to the arc thrower. No ammo, no heat, hits multiple enemies with enough damage to just pop hunters and raiders. Short range but ignores armor.
>No ammo, no heat,
i doubt it, its would be too powerful if it was and we all know how they feel on primary weapons being capable of holding their own, its just gonna be ammo based with a small ammo pool and if it does arc to other enemies low capacity as well
>can't aim for weak spots
>can't hit anything more than 15m away
>relatively slow fire rate
It has its downsides.
>>can't aim for weak spots
not a problem for its intended targets (fodder)
>>can't hit anything more than 15m away
fair
slow fire rate
its makes up with with sheer horde clearing and multi target hits
It does.
Infinite ammo, no heat, ignores armour, chains to enemies. Only difference being that you can fire it charged or uncharged and it having about half the maximum range of an arc thrower.
The arc thrower sucks
>No dude you don't get it, it doesn't have ammo, you can do 0 damage infinite times!
The arc thrower sucks
>No but you can squish tiny bugs super efficiently with it like you can also do with over half the other guns in the game!
The arc thrower sucks
I don't say this very often but
>skill issue
Skill issue
the only flaw of the arc thrower is how inconsistent it is at actual firing, regardless how close or far the enemy is, beyond that its superb horde and heavy unit clearer
filtered. it can be rapid fired after the first shot, you just have to get your timing correct. I normally just count "1-2" under my breath.The arc thrower absolutely shreds mobs of bugs, it just has a higher skill ceiling that most shitters can't reach.
I guess Ganker really is bad at video games.
Everything he said is right. You're just a contrarian shitter.
Its only true if you have a skill issue using the Arc Thrower
I do you one better:
Joining a lobby in progress, land right in front of a tank, and having it drove over your pod before you can even get out. In my defense it was foggy sky and I barely see the tank until the end
I wish we had more morons like you around to convince the devs that the arc thrower is weak and needs buffs. It's basically the only support weapon worth carrying besides maybe a EAT at this point.
AC according to devs is perfectly balanced, lol
It is. Only change it needs is the same as every backpack weapon. Ability to use the user's backpack for team reloads.
it is obscenely good for everything except bile titans
I don't really like it for chargers either. Especially since apparently the leg thing is a bug that's getting fixed? Supposedly have to shoot the head (under shield) or ass with it and I haven't had the best success with it, but It's by far my favourite support weapon for everything else
No wonder you think it's far easier, you were worthless before the patch lol
>Implying
Take the MaxRpmLMGpill
>can't kill chargers
>can't kill titans
>can kind of kill bile spewers
>can't devastators with shields
>can't kill walkers without wasting shitloads of ammo on the legs
i love the LMG but it is dog shit with the armor spam in this game
The AC is decent but there is no reason to really use it over the arc thrower or even arguably the EAT. It doesn't do shit unless the armor has already been peeled off, and there is no reason to peel armor when an EAT to the face kills chargers now.
LMG can literally kill both Chargers and Bile Titans, Anon. Always could.
who the frick even runs out of ammo with their primaries / secondaries?
You get resupplied all the fricking time whenever you grab some for your support weapon
he's crying that a pistol of all things is gonna be overpowered, of course he's moronic
Datakminers have already tested them since they're already in the game, just inaccessible.
They're as strong as support weapons lmao.
>muh datamined numbers
They will be far worse on release.
No fun allowed with primary weapons.
Black person the Redeemer secondary does more damage than 90% of the primary guns. Why is it so hard this one will be strong too?
>inb4 muh infinite ammo
>Black person the Redeemer secondary does more damage than 90% of the primary guns.
Source: crack pipe.
because its balanced on having a ridiculously fast RoF and only 5 mags, the laser pistol with infinite ammo will have a lower DPS just like the Sickle to the base default gun
it's a burst weapon with extremely limited ammo, of course it does "more damage"... for about 10 seconds and then you're doing no damage
Dataminers are massive fricking morons, I trust their word about game balance about as much as a game journo's
The modified plasma slug punisher HAS to be absolutely fricking insane against bots.
Anyone with a brain consisting of actual brain cells will instantly tell.
I guess you also have to have played the game enough to unlock the scorcher though.
I'm excited to use the sickle against bugs like god intended.
It does get 12 8-round magazines, a surprisingly large blast radius, and instakills players.
The numbers on the Sickle seem comparable to the standard Liberator, with the only downside being you can't just magdump it. Arc shotgun and the plasma launcher will probably be decent, too.
Don't forget that 45 of the weapon stats are hidden
>p2w
homie you collect the premium currency IN THE GAME i already have like 70 bucks worth of premium currency without paying a cent for it

How do you bind your strategems? I mapped it to my side mouse button but I stand still while doing the inputs on WASD. Should I do this a different way? I haven't had too many issues with it.

pottery
you'd think that after 5 resets the Black person would realize that calling down an eagle airstrike on the silo is a bad idea but nope
This makes me feel bad, are Helldivers like heroes to kids you think?
the game heavily pushes a narrative that being a helldiver makes you a hero and not just some poor sap who is being fed into a meat grinder, the tutorial pushes it, the opening cinematic pushes it as a propaganda film, the product reviews from civilians pushes it, ect
so in theory kids would think it too.
"terminal radiation poisoning"
not for long
Do kids in America think Seals are heroes? Green Berets?
Do kids in Iran think the Republican Guard are heroes? They're probably exposed to even more propaganda in this regard than Americans.
Yeah, dude. Kids think soldiers are heroes. So the best-of-the-best would be super heroes.
GUYS GUYS WE NEED TO STOP SPREADING TERMICIDE I JUST FOUND OUT THAT IT
DEAD GAME
>inb4 cope
It was within 5% of peak player count on the weekend, now it's back to the usual weekday numbers.
Weren't the servers shitting themselves just now?
damn bro those euro/asian numbers are low, now show us the US ones
God i wish it was lower. Would make the servers more stable
>he thinks player number is what's causing server issues and not their dogshit optimization
come on now you're smarter than this
Hellsisters... our response?
Democratic sacrifices in the name of Liberty and Justice for all.
fomo wears out quickly and expecting big numbers on a world of mouth game is stupid
In one month, it'll lose probably half the playerbase, kinda like Halo:Infinite and many, many others
It's already been a month.
Oh
I just checked steamcharts, then I was right
We are already at half playerbase from the 450 000 peak
Well, expect another month for another halving
It's low peak hours dummy.
yeah, I'm talking about average players my dude
Well no fricking shit average players isn't going to hold a candle to all-time peak, do you not know what the difference between a peak and an average is?
If we're going by averages than the game only lost 5% of it's average playerbase in a month.
That's way better than most fomos, including palworld, which lost 90% of it's player base in 2 months.
>We are already at half playerbase from the 450 000 peak
>I'm talking about average players
Do you even know what peak means? It means highest. Like at one point there was 450,000 players on Steam, not that it sustained an average of 450,000 across all hours. It is still getting those numbers at hot hours as well, on Friday around 2100 PST it was at 437k
The game is showing remarkable retention and bringing in new people at almost the rate people are easing off.
Bring the numbers down. less morons, more stable servers? Yes please
Breaker/Redeemer/Rover/EAT is the strongest loadout in the game vs bugs btw. Only weakness is you need at least one teammate with a GL for bile spewers, which you should already have anyway.
kino
Nice to see another anti material rifle chad, that gun is seriously being slept on real hard
i can't justify using it against bugs.
Whats so good about it?
it's great vs bots.
vs bugs not so much
Can 2-shot Hulks and Devastators and does not take up a backpack slot.
It's worthless dogshit on bugs and the scope is clunky, though.
It's my least favourite support weapon by a big margin and needs changes. It's just a very inferior AC
>no backpack
>200m zoom
Shooting something that's 200m away is a terrible decision. If it's not within 50-100m you probably shouldn't be shooting it
the 200m scope makes hitting the faceplate of a hulk or devastator easier than it is with the unmagnified autocannon sight picture or 3rd person aiming, at ranges such as 50m and 100m too
Okay maybe that is just skill issue then, I disliked the biggest scope both on diligence and amr for those ranges and didn't feel like I was hitting more frequently with them
In games I never really like scopes that are too zoomed. In tarkov I also often use scopes with smaller magnification than my buddies
Well I'm glad you have a weapon you like but I still wish they'd change hipfure so it either has a reticle or it gets some buff that's offset by very strong inaccuracy if hipfure. As it stands it's perfectly accurate you just don't get a reticle and that's one of my most hated things some shooters do
so the AMR offers a zoom function while the autocannon offers a full auto mode and a lot more ammo.
I cant help but think the ammo economy makes the autocannon the better choice. Is there something Im missing? is the scope that valuable?
Considering whoever sent in purposefully misaligns the scope? no. But the AMR does have good ammo economy and doesn't need a backpack and reloads on the move. So 'what your missing' is literally everything aside from hitting an enemy without aiming at the weak spot or having the 'explosive' damage type for fat bugs
the reload on the move is pretty good, admittedly. You can reload clips of 5 without having to load through the autocannon though, so you can reload with relatively little downtime at least. I do hate the scope on the autocannon though
There's tradeoffs, but generally I'd call the AMR pretty frickin underpowered. Being able to sit on a hill outside a base and take out light/medium/hulks is pretty nice, but the ammo economy sucks due to only getting 1 clip back per ammo pickup, and it offers no ability to deal with groups like the autocannon does, so being able to reload while moving is of extremely limited value. If it did more raw damage or armor pen so it had value against heavies it would fit more of a 'not the best at anything but good at a lot of things' mold more.
Like if by some weird magic it one shot Berserkers it would be worth having one on a team just to cull conga lines. But it doesn't, it sucks against berserkers.
As is, its role is generally better performed by a DMR, and just having another way to manage hulks since you'll need something else for other bot heavies anyways.
yeah it fricking sucks and everyone trying to say it's underpowered is coping hard or just uninformed. It's terrible against bugs and since it has shit for armor pen it's literally not worth taking over the regular counter sniper primary due to the fact when hitting headshots on bots most things die in the same amount of shots. For some reason AMR uses never seem to know that they can just take a Diligence, continue to one/two shot all bots in the head, then take something like an arc thrower or one of the machine guns as a support weapon for trash clearing and have a way better time.
The new silo mission is fricking moronic the silos get fricked up WAY too easily and morons will call down airstrikes on it not knowing that they’re fricking it up.
>he has his redeemer on auto
how to never get a c-01 permit
>he doesn't have his redeemer on auto
Funny gun go brrrrrrr
why wouldn't you? if i wanted a basic pistol i'd take the basic pistol
And that would be a mistake, because the Redeemer does the exact same damage. It's a better basic pistol, and a better panic spray button.
yeah, but the redeemer looks moronic with its extended magazine, so I'll continue to use the starter pistol
Ackhually the starting pistol has a better grade of light armor penetration and longer dropoff range
>light armor penetration
forgot about that, where does that actually help though?
>longer dropoff range
This one I'm fairly confident in saying is pointless, if you're shooting at a distance where that's relevant you have time to reload your primary.
Have they fricked bile titan spawns? Why are so many spawning on dif 8
because its Diff 8, spamming heavy units is the name of the game there
I play on 9 when I can but i just wanna chill and check out the new gamemode. I got like 15ish titans, I think the new game mode spawns to many waves. normal game modes are probably fine.
Yeah it's a lot better on the normal game modes but on the new game mode they added, the Titans spawn almost non-stop. Even on difficulty 7, there is a large problem with the amount of heavy units that spawn. In fact I'm pretty sure that the patch did absolutely nothing to counteract that.
>Claim to fix something
>Don't
Arrowhead is the most incompetent studio I've ever seen tbh.
There's NOTICEABLY less titans on 8 now.
Can't comment on 9, never bothered
Helldiver is fricking braindead now with any remotely competent team. Chargers are a joke and the only time you get more than 3 bile titans at once is when you intentionally let them spawn. Reddit and the homosexuals in /copeg/ pissing about being unable to beat helldiver because they're awful at video games genuinely ruined it.
I think 8 is way more fun now because "dude lmao wait wait lmao hear me out... Bro what if we just spawned 5 bile titans and seven chargers LOL" isn't fun
It's just boring and annoying, it's not challenging at all because you just run aeay. Anyone that's played a decent amount (few hours) of high diff (7-9) can just infinitely avoid chargers and bile titans
I've seen people complaining missions are actually harder now (and I agree they're harder but I don't mind)
There's just a lot less reliance on eat/RR/spear and strategems now so people need to realise and switch their strategies to play around the higher amounts of smaller enemies
Arc players likely creamed their pants
Unironic and literal skill issue, anon. I play almost exclusively level 9. Your team, and maybe you, are just bad. Something people don't realize is that you need a team that specializes. Someone to take out all the trash, someone who runs anti armor, etc. You can't run jack of all trades shit like the bubble/railgun Black folk were and expect to succeed on Helldiver.
It is really funny, but from a balance and fun perspective it makes way more sense. It's unironically way easier to shoot the large """heavily armored""" head with an RR instead of dodging the charge and shooting it in the ass after it runs past.
>Skill issue
I've extracted with full team and almost all objectives my three last operations on diff 8
Where's the skill issue.
>Specialize
That's why the new patch is better and harder. Not everyone just runs the same shit. Previously you just brought things to deal with chargers and titans and everyone brought similar strategems and support weapons. Pretty much every bug mission had 3/4 500kgs, some railcannons and some orbital lasers with some EATs, RRs and spears. How many lmgs did you see in helldiver bugs before the change?
>How many lmgs did you see in helldiver bugs before the change?
Every single mission. Because I run them. My friends will run anti armor, sentries, etc while I mulch every bug I look at with the MG. I just run EATs instead of a 500kg or something after yesterday, and now I get to rape chargers on top of anti-trash. It's actually way worse now. The game is far easier.
Seriously. EAT + MG (or GL) and you can kill everything. The other two startagems are optional
>Eat
>Gl
>Supply backpack to make gl not worthless
>Still can't kill a titan despite down three strategems
No wonder you guys thought it was so much harder previously
Yea, it's really fricking boring. Before I had to make the choice between chaff/heavy stategems to clear armor if I get separated or if my team mates are too busy to help clear chargers/titans on me. Now I just drop a couple EATs every 60 seconds and I can clear whatever the frick I want. I really hope they revert the change. Make it take two EATs/RRs to destroy the head and one for the ass if they want to do it that way and then revert the spawn rates and the game will go back to being fun but challenging.
Same on 9. Mission feel to easy now. I learned to cope with them with EAT spam. Now I feel just overpowered because I have all these missiles lying around and shooting regular enemies with them because Titans or Chargers won't show up (and even if they do they die instantly)
Balancing a game like this is hard I guess. The line between unfairly annoying arbitrary difficulty and cakewalk easy is really thin and fine one
>make ass weak spot as it should be
>EAT and RR 1 break it in 1 shot
>make the ass slightly weaker to kinetic weapons
>leave spawn rates as they were
That's all that chargers needed. What the frick is wrong with the hardest difficulty actually being hard? I hate reddit so fricking much it's unreal.
I like that the ass is not the weakspot. Let people seethe at getting video game logic getting subverted and them eating shit, it's funny
Wait until you play on a bot planet
I fricking dropped onto a patrol with a tank and the dropships came in with a tank, hulk, and about a billion of those chainsaw fricks. We were less than a minute into the game.
Worst spawn I've had on a bot planet was landing next to two tanks and a pack of heavy devastators, between the edge of the map and a jammer. Hardest part of most missions is often times just unfricking your start location and gearing up without just leaving all your shit in a shit pit.
>why is the 2nd highest difficulty hard :~~*(
Fricking morons, go back to difficulty 3
>Having the light armor shield Black person lead all the Black folk away from objectives is hard
It's boring.
This game is boring.
If you cared about diff, you'd only bother with bots.
Then don't do that? Use Anti tanke weapons? They even nerfed the tanks just for you
They just put a cap on how many chargers/titans can be active at once, they get put in a spawn queue once that cap gets hit or something.
that's it, I'm kicking all the arc thrower Black folk out of my lobby from now on
>still no skull visage on even the starting helldivers helmet
>skull visage
woah bro u so badass better not anger u right?
And get the game banned in the biggest market of hackers?!
The rocket launcher now 1 shots chargers in the heads so there's that
Makes it way to easy imo. But if they nerf the EAT cooldown just because shitters didn't know to use it properly before and now it's getting overused with all the enemy nerfs I'm gonna be mad
Get ready to be mad
Hey now, at least it means you can actually rely on other people to take them out meaning you dont NEED to have everyone always take a strat weapon. Im having lots of fun now just taking nothing but orbitals and eagles and just using what I find in the field for a weapon, Helldive is the only difficulty where you cant do this now.
Oh I agree it is more fun now actually. I just wish there was actually a higher difficulty because I actually do enjoy grinding my teeth. Hope they add more difficulty levels.
>So many bugs have died around the base of the battery tower that I can't tell if I'm shooting at live bugs or into a pile of dead bugs
>letting the bugs get close to the tower in the first place
Bro it's a tower defence game. Your sentries? Your mines? Your tesla tower? Have one person in a mech with the recoiless to take down chargers/bile titans when they spawn and the rest are on minigun duty taking out smaller bugs
haha poop
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I finally found out why i keep crashing in this game(aswell as many others) my puter has too much dust in it so its is SCORCHING HOT.
should have realised this sooner i have had this computer for 7 years
maybe its time to get a new one.
>try out arc thrower
>it takes like 15 shots to kill a charger
Yeah I'm going back to my EAT.
?si=Kna4gW3jzukTq9XB
How do you like the fixed and new spear Ganker?
It still can't lock on for shit. And for a weapon with only 4 shots, it should damn well kill anything you shoot it at, with the exception of maybe bile titans. Blasting a turret tower after 2 minutes of attempting and failing to lock on to it and doing nothing is not great.
Besides the broken ramp on the one variation and non-functional killboxes in the water, I really like the new maps for the TCS missions.
That's one thing that was getting a stale, all of the objective location layouts being the same.
Wish they spawned Super Samples and SC though
I'm capped on everything and have 3K+ SC so I really don't care. I'm just playing at this point because I'm still having fun.
But I feel you, a few POIs around the the outskirts would be nice.
What's your favorite enemy specific stratagem?
Shield Generator Relay for bots and Napalm Strike for bugs here
Gatling sentry for bugs (after getting the ship module upgrades) and probably autocanon for bots.
Airburst for Bugs. Toss one in a Breach and you kill 75% of chaff that comes out of them. My favorite combo is to Airburst one then Precision Orbital after the second blast to ensure the last wave gets cooked alongside any Chargers/Bile Titans.
This Community Goal fricking sucks and I'm not going to participate in it. Making the silos take friendly fire is a perfect example of how these moronic devs ruin their good game with a single bad decision.
It’s so bad and then you get random teammates who spam airstrikes on top of the silos without realizing they’re fricking it up
I started playing yesterda and thats all I'm allowed to do, can't even play against the robots. Am I doing anything wrong?
>Missions require literal room temperature IQ to complete
>The community freaks the frick out
It's civilian extraction all over again. I swear, the dumbest people imaginable flood this game. Now Chargers are a complete joke to boot.
you'll get rewarded anyway but friendly fire on the towers filters braindead shitters like (You)
Heh, look what I found?
Stupid ass bug, that termicide is fricking them up so bad I can't even recognize what it used to be. Probably a spewer or something
Glad to see its working so quickly
Heading back to my mission to release more gas
At least 9 can't spawn 500 hive lords at once like it can bile titans.
>play diff 7 a few days ago
>5 chargers and 3 bile titans on screen at once
>play diff 7 now
>2 chargers and 1 titan
Shitters unironically ruined it by crying so hard
>Not mentioned
>500 hunters clamoring to tongue your butthole and sucking your wiener dry.
>they stealth nerfed SC spawn rates
not really surprising but come the frick on
>Look mom, I posted it again
Autocannon bros, how we feeling?
I used to love it but on the harder difficulties you can't find any time to reload the thing.
It reloads stupid quick if you don't empty it. I've never struggled to find the time to reload
It's a weak choice for bugs now that RR dumpsters chargers. Though it's still great for fricking over brood commanders and stalkers.
What happened?
must take for me vs bots
Luv sniping fabricators and side obj from across the map
Pumping the charging handle.
The liberator penetrator is based, right Gankerros? I feel like I can actually play the game now.
Feels worse than the regular liberator to me
Unironically, 100% truth I'm spitting right now, it is the worst gun I have unlocked so far by a significant margin
That would be the counterfire DMR.
>barely higher damage than the basic DMR
>but handles far worse
>has more punishing recoil than the antimateriel sniper for some reason
>very weak armor penetration
>terrible ammo economy too
there is no reason whatsoever to use this gun, everything you want from it the slugger does better and that's a fricking shotgun lol
Every variant of a weapon is always worse than the main versions of that same weapon in this game. It's true for the breaker and it's true for the liberator too. The liberator variants have terrible DPS and ammo efficiency.
It's actually fricking useless against bugs and okay against bots. It really needs some kind of buff.
Exactly opposite. It's completely worthless against bots and the only item that has ever gotten me kicked. The two games I brought it, it did terrible and I was kicked. On bugs it's "okay". There's a few bugs with medium armour but I have no clue what the penetrator even penetrates against bots. Devastator didn't die in a full mag to the face in a panic. Chainsawers don't die in a mag either.
>Chainsawers don't die in a mag either.
I'm not even sure if these guys are armored, I think they just have a frickload of health.
Devestators have medium armor, but the gun does such little damage you're better off just aiming for the head with literally any other gun. Well, except for the counter sniper I guess.
The Breaker does the opposite, it lacks armor pen but makes up for it by just absolutely shitting dps out enough it kills them anyway.
I feel like the magazine is too small I'd rather bring the default marksman rifle
Its fricking ass lmao. Takes three bursts, all headshots, to take down the basic bot troopers.
I've tried it a few times and I hate it. Feels like a peashooter.
what are the best ways to make the terminus tower missions bearable
it seems like if the group tries to focus on one tower at a time you just get assfricked by 5000 bugs spawning non-stop but if you split up and activate multiple towers the bugs also split up and it becomes way easier to handle
Smoke the whole tower
Eagle, orbital, grenades
Just keep the perimeter completely veiled in smoke
One guy is the designated smoke guy
They don't path through smoke so as long as it's covered they won't attack it
Then just lay down suppressive fire in the gaps because they're bottlenecked
Tell your entire team to bring mech and EMS mortars, just played that mission on diff 9 like 20 mins ago, literal cakewalk
Split up in pairs, bring mortars and a shitload of ammo
Assault rifles are our pesticide, soldier.
I don't understand how people are having such a hard time with the TCS missions that they need to ask other people to tell them how to play. Me and my mates jumped into them on level 8 last night and didn't fail a single one, we had to restart a few towers but it wasn't really a struggle, everyone just brought their favorite stratagems like usual.
Because it depends entirely on what kind of spawn pool the game decides to throw at you in the mission. Is it hunters and brood commanders and chaff? It's fine. Is it bile spewers and hunters? You are fricked because they can nuke the towers from range and hunters rush them super quickly.
I guess it depends on difficulty. On 7 I'm dealing with 3 bile titans and 4 chargers at a time sometimes. Doable but hard
>3 bile titans
>4 chargers
>hard
They focus the tower so you're having to reset a lot
Bring EATs or a recoilless and use EMS.
I do bring EATs but I haven't tried the EMS yet. Chargers are ezpz but bile titans I can't 2 shot for whatever reason. Gotta practice more.
Aim for the head. They'll die in two shots to either or 3 mech rockets in the head. EMS is very powerful, especially if your aim is kinda bad. It'll stun the c**ts so you can just chunk em for free.
man i dont even know how to change diffuclties
Go to mission selection screen and look at bottom. It's either q e or a d
I don't care about rockets
When against bugs, I will NEVER switch off from my flamethrower
The flamer is fun and was a solid option but now it's subpar in comparison. It's unfortunate.
Flamer is still great on all the hunters which is needed because there's a frick ton of them now
Is it opposite day or something? They buffed the damage and increased then they increased the ratio of enemy spawns that's it's effective against.
It's because of the change they made to the charger's heads. Even on Helldiver it's far more efficient and easier to just EAT or RR them in the face instead of spending time to melt a single leg.
Yeah but if no one brings crowd control you get overwhelmed by the trash. Chargers are easy enough for just one or two people to deal with
Sure, but RR and EAT are really only worth blowing on chargers and Bile titans, with the Flamethrower you can deal with crowds and chargers.
My only problem with the flamethrower is that it doesn't melt bile spewers fast enough to make up for obscuring your visibility of them.
I usually take out the Bile spewers with my grenades or primary. They have just about the same range as the Flamethrower If not more than it with their barf attack so it's not a good idea to play chicken with them. If they aren't aggrod on to you it works great.
The flamethrower can't be perfect at everything or it'd be the new railgun.
It'd still be completely shit at bots and can't deal with bile titans, and also doesn't prevent you from getting swarmed from multiple directions. What you'd think it'd be good at is just standing on a bug breach and melting whatever comes out, but the existence of bile spewers that can spit mid-spawn kind of shits on that potential functionality.
I feel like those downsides would be enough to not invalidate other choices like the railgun did, even if it was made able to deal with bile spewers more effectively. Which I don't think it should kill them faster, I think it should just stop them from vomiting. They could still try to close distance and explode on death to frick you up though.
It also doesn't kill trash fast enough to stop bug breach call ins. I love it but I just can't bring myself to use it anymore on Helldiver.
Shut the frick up you illiterate moron.
>It also doesn't kill trash fast enough to stop bug breach call ins
I think this would be going too far if it melted everything that fast.
I'll tell you what we do need though, a fricking hoverpack that spews out flame under you. This is what is required to show Super Earth superiority to bugs.
shit players like you is proof that democracy is flawed. sometimes morons don't deserve a voice.
Don't reply to my posts ever again, commie.
stop making the game easier for no reason, redditBlack person. you have 9 difficulty settings.
I suggested a rebalance of how fire and afterburn works in this game, homosexual. You're a casual if you think fire damage doesn't need a tweak.
>i want my weapon to do literally everything and be good in every scenario
bugs are braindead easy to kill as is. afterburn is enough to kill trash scavengers. focused fire kills chargers in 3 seconds max. literally frick off.
The point is that a fricking FLAMING WEAPON requiring FOCUSED FIRE is moronic, you COMMIE FRICK.
>THROWING FLAMES with a FLAMETHROWER is moronic
holy shit go play something else
You're advocating for a close-range Laser Cannon 2.0 you dumb Black person. Never offer your input on game balance ever again.
What sort of joyless homosexual wants to focus fire with a flamethrower instead of drowning the whole screen in a sea of flame and death while laughing maniacally?
How can you not think the flamethrower is shit when theres so many better alternatives.
the flamethrower feels like a really weird weapon. It feels weaker than the breaker against bugs and its not useful against bile titans. I am not sure what use I can have for it other than just killing chargers and maybe the one armored bug thats frankly not that big of a deal.
The flamethrower needs to be reworked into something that can be used in other situations if you ask me. Maybe give it an arc like napalm so you can safely apply a burning wall from a distance or make it bypass through bugs when burning em if you plan to go aggressive in the front with it.
increase the range. make bugs and bots on fire take a 50% move speed debuff. increase the ground fire damage a bit and reduce the secondary fire damage from an ignited enemy touching you.
Flamethrower allows you to melt any bug in 10 meters for a good 10 seconds straight per reload, and can be used to kill anything but a Titan. Having a ton of "ammo" per "magazine" and a really quick reload means it's the most effective suppressive fire type weapon you can get against bugs.
I still think instead of giving it more damage it should have some kind of slow or fear effect against bugs, bots ignoring being on fire makes sense but bugs are living creatures which typically try to avoid being lit on fire.
A unique balance to bugs panicking in fire (Scavengers, warriors, hunters, spitters) is the Brood Commander can make a call and force them to unpanic. Would make sense for a hivebrood enemy to have a central 'command' and force fodder to move past instinctual fears. Also gives brood commanders something better then being a headless nuisance that only summons shit on occasion
They need to buff fire damage in this game, it makes no sense that 90% of the Flamethrower, Breaker and incendiary Nades damage is frontloaded. Afterburn is so pitifully weak that I swear I've seen little Scavenger homosexuals walk off my carpet bombed bug breach while on fire and live past it.
i will always use the autocannon as long as it isnt turned dogshit for some reason because it is just too satisfying to use
I love imagining the rancid smell when I pop a bile spewer's gigantic sack with a well placed AC shot
>a deal's a deal, helldiver
This is what the devs were trying to aim for when making equipment for the game. They missed the correct postal code with most guns.
>game says we haven't activated a single tower on any yet
Does anyone even use gas? It doesn't seem like it properly fills the niche of area denial it's supposed to.
It literally does not work unless you're the host, so no.
I use gas on every bug mission. It won't kill everything from a bug breach, but it will soften it all so much that it's incredibly easy to use any primary to finish everything off short of a bile titan or charger, and for those it generally softens them enough to kill easier.
If being on fire prevented bile spewers from vomiting that would provide enough utility to justify using all sorts of incendiary weapons, which are sans flamethrower, pretty exclusively shit.
I did, but they stealth nerfed it. Now it can't even kill small bugs.
Oh in noticed that, it had a stupid strong DPS before, now its just a fart
Why can bugs fricking headshot you?
Fricking hunters
>Why can I be hit in the head?
Because you have one. Are you moronic?
Kinda wish helmets did anything, the existence of headshots makes medium/heavy armor just so much fricking worse.
Holy shit make the MG a fricking regular weapon SO I CAN FRICKING COMBO IT WITH A RR AND FRICK UP EVERTYHING THAT FRICKING MOVES. I JUST WANT TO FRICKING MACHINE GUN THINGS TO DEATH IN HIGHER DIFFICLITUES. IT'S NOT FAIR.
your mg + eat 17?
You're rationally correct. But I want 3 eagle strats, so frick you. I will keep b***hing in my corner.
Bring EATs. They're on a super short cooldown so you can call them down on demand and use the MG the rest of the time
Use it. It's amazing
>But anti tank
That's what teammates are for
Alternatively also bring eat
Or be extremely kino and bring RR and call it in but just equip the backpack and team reload someone
MG should never be regular weapon moron. the stalwart and it's pathetic excuse for an LMG should be though.
kind of sadistic to put the stalwart on the wall with the other primaries at the armory while it isn't a primary lol.
bile spewers should have less hp

Hate these homosexuals, termicide missions are hard enough without these manchildren self sabotaging. The purpose of the mech is to help the team, there is no reason to just leave it behind to be destroyed

If you leave it sitting around and then don't use your words like a normal adjusted human being when someone asks who's it was then you deserve to lose it.

They're a point defense kind of thing, great AT
they don't work against bots at all though, we would need an armored variant

Third mission in a row i had to quit because of fricking low level dumbfrick morons trying to get carried on extreme+ missions while carrying worthless stratagems and being shit at the game
im playing to have fun, you tryhard virgin.
Have fun on the lower difficulties without throwing mine fields where everyone is dying and permanently fricking up everyone's weapon stratagems. Besides, i'm not a metaBlack person, i'm carrying a shitty incendiary breaker and a revolver with a flamethrower and the laser rover, i'm playing to have fun too but i can't because it always takes 15 reinforcements to take care of 1 out of the 3 egg destroying sub missions on a map when low levels are in the party, you do not have the equipment for high level missions so just get the frick out of there

I had a guy throw an orbital laser and I just sat there like that Willem Dafoe meme of him staring up as it just blasted the side of the tower for its entire duration. Needless to say we didn't complete the mission.

Hell, the only DLC that you "need" in EDF is the bonus missions, as the other stuff is mostly vehicle skins.
>You do know this game is going to be DLC-filled too, right?
Shut up moron
I know this is like a shitpost gimmick for this thread but litearally the only thing stopping Helldivers from being a perfect 10/10 is that it doesn't have an taunt button that lets me sing battle songs with my squadmates.
>for super earth!
>how a about a nice cup of liber-tea!
I have edf and it gets tedious real fricking quickly. It's not even the lmao wacky shit it's just how fricking slow it is, how much it fricking sucks when you want new weapons ya gotta run around and try to get the boxes before they despawn.
you're not gonna make it
They don't dsespawn but cheat engine to make your pick up range the entire map is mandatory, yes.
>cheat engine to make your pick up range the entire map is mandatory, yes
no it isn't. picking them up manually is no problem
The first time. But the nips decided to make you pick 150 times the boxes so your weapons aren't useless garbage.
no. it's okay all the time; everytime
>no, gaijin, you pick up by hand
does EAT and recoilless one shot chargers butts? i know they one shot the head now but i havent had time to test it on the butt
No, lmao.
WHAT IS THE FRICKING POINT OF HAVING A GIANT OBVIOUS WEAK SPOT ON IT THEN
Are you telling me you think it's moronic the the obvious glowing orange ass is stronger and more resistant to explosives than the large heavily armored head while also being completely resistant to kinetic gunfire?
BECAUSE ITS NOT. THE GAME NEVER SAYS IT IS, YOU JUST ASSUMED IT
Imagine being outsmarted by bug brain. Bug think "humans think anything shiny is obvious weak point, lets paint butt in orange and they will assume its weak for no reason and ignore actual weak points"
It not having giant armor plates and being visibly squishy also kind of implies it's a part that may be vulnerable.
So? Its a trick. The game tricked you and you are angry you fell for it and refuse to acknowledge your smooth brain
I'm a different anon, I don't really mind it as a design, but it is rather silly. If it were just differently colored plates it would make more sense, but as is I'm kind of struggling to think of what purpose that part of the body serves. Did the bugs evolve a giant sack of fat that holds no organs or necessary components? Were they engineered that way for some reason?
As gameplay goes, I think it's fine as a really poor option when you have no stratagems or weapons that can properly deal with the thing, so you're stuck shooting an inefficient part, just that it's odd from a visual design/setting design aspect, and would probably make more sense if it were the joints you had to hit instead, even if that would be much harder.
Humans can live without their digestive tract for longer than you'd expect, and many animals can live for surprisingly long times with their frickin intestines pulled out. A bug specifically evolved to be a combat machine being able to keep fighting after getting it's stomach ripped out makes some kind of sense, and they do bleed out once it's broken it just takes a while. TOO long, really.
But when the 2 ton rhino bug loses a leg it's too fat to move and effectively dead, even if in theory it should be able to lash out at really close Helldivers until it finally bleeds out.
It's just video game logic, humans can survive without an arm or a leg but as soon as a limb is severed from a Helldiver=death, because being incapacitated to the point of being not combat capable is essentially the same as being dead as far as video games are concerned.
bug pincers typed this
i thought it was a weakpoint because back when i was only level 5 and before the leg meta was figured out the only way to kill a charger was to dump 10 mags into it;s butt. i can understand why think this is silly because you probably saw a twitch streamer explain the entire game for you but that's how we did had to do it
silly me, right?
I have never watched a single twitch streamer in my entire life.
You know how I learned? In game voice chat
well i stand corrected, when did you start playing the game?
1.5 Weeks ago.
Wasn't it immediately obvious after you try hitting the orange spot with an AT weapon and the bug wasn't dead or seemingly wounded that something was off?
Why wouldn't you ask in game, or look it up online if you were missing something?
well that's when the leg meta was found out and the reason the railgun was nerfed. which was shared in pretty much every lobby. you're welcome for being part of the people who figured that out for you
Yeah, its not like this is communicated anywhere else in the game, like the big glowing orange weakspot on the rear of Hulks, Tanks, and base cannons.
You should be religious instead of being a cultist for a video game.
You should git gud.
to trick dummy butt obsessed humies
No
Nope. Doesn't even two shot it iirc. Always go for the head or the leg
I think the flamethrower isn't complete dog shit and still has it's uses over RR and EAT, because in a chokepoint it still fricking utterly decimates bugs.
But I do think the DOT and maybe pierce through on the flamethrower could use a buff.
Definitely needs a DoT buff, fire in general does. The lamest part about using a flamethrower is having fricking dipshit hunters jumping onto you and slowing you along with sharing the fire DoT on top of yourself, that with the lackluster damage against bile spewers.
kek
>Fire damage is almost a guaranteed death if you don't immediately stim the same second you catch on fire
>Doesn't do anything to bugs
this and hunters getting the user killed are the reasons I don't use the flamer, even though I like it the rest of the time
diving puts the fire out.
This works until you get hit by an on fire hunter and you're put into a stagger state.
Yeah, i use it because i fricking love seeing the whole scenery burning and i think its really cool, but it does kind of suck right now, if they ever make hunter bugs not be complete pieces of shit it might actually be viable even without the damage buff that i think it needs, i'm always carrying it with the laser rover to make up for the weaknesses that it has
If there's even a single other hunter other than the one that pounces on you diving while slowed is practically suicide, they fricking swarm me almost everytime that happens
No, the Flamethrower is already very powerful. WTF is wrong with you. Its one of the easiest ways to kill Chargers
That's the thing, the flamethrower should have been what the arc thrower is a crowd control weapon with decent charger killing capabilities if the need arises.
Sure it was very good when RR/EAT sucked and there were 500 chargers everywhere, but now that bugs are shifted towards being an actual horde faction and you don't NEED to kill chargers, the flamethrower has noticeably fallen off.
Personally I would nerf the direct damage of the flamethrower just a tiny bit and either give it a fear effect for little bugs or make the dot do more.
It doesn't really make to much sense that a flamethrower is a focus fire weapon when it should be a short ranged "frick everything in this direction equally" weapon.
I would really prefer if it was a horde clear weapon instead of an anti-armor weapon.
Sorry, we can't punish bad positioning and/or poor enemy assessment anymore. Taking a second to stand back and clear your surroundings before throwing fire at anything or synergizing with team composition is just unfair.
Fire must stagger, slow, pierce armor all armor, have more range, do less damage against players, increased DOT that kills chargers in a few seconds minimum, and kill bile titans and bile spewers quickly in order to be considered good.
>Fire must stagger, slow
Yes.
>pierce armor all armor
Eh...
>have more range
Could do with or without.
>do less damage against players
Frick no, the constant risk of lighting yourself on fire is perfect for the flamethrower.
>increased DOT that kills chargers in a few seconds minimum
No, it maybe should do slightly-more than most non-armor piercing weapons sure, But it shouldn't hold a single shitty candle to the actual dedicated AT weapons.
>kill bile titans
No.
>bile spewers
Eh...
>Frick no, the constant risk of lighting yourself on fire is perfect for the flamethrower.
I'd be okay with an armor perk that prevented you from being set on fire, not the direct damage of the flamethrower (or standing in fire), but just the perpetual DOT state. Reasonable trade off to lose other perks to be able to be a little more safe, and better deal with pouncing bugs.
>kill bile titans
If the jump jet let me land on top of a bile titan, then I'd be okay with a flamethrower being able to kill it. Short of that, definitely not.
>Its one of the easiest ways to kill Chargers
Literally the only thing it has is killing Chargers.
>Can't kill bile titans
>Doesn't kill hunters fast enough before they pounce you.
>Can MAYBE kill an brood commander before they rush you down
>Can't do much against massive hordes.
I'm not saying that it's a complete dogshit weapon, but the flamethrower being a one-trick pony for a specific unit feels really fricking counter-productive to the fact that IT'S A FRICKING FLAMETHROWER AGAINST BUGS WHY ARE THE BUGS JUST CASUALLY WALKING THROUGH THE STREAM OF FIRE TO SMACK ME IN THE FACE.
Unironically it would be a perfect weapon if they just gave it a stagger effect and play on the fact that it has a mediocre magazine capacity.

How does somebody like you get through day to day life without a tard Wrangler leading you around? Seriously, please explain it to me.
I've just started playing yesterday
A box is only going to get checked once the entire TSC network is activated across a whole planet. Major orders are for the entire player base.

What are the bugs broadcasting from the broadcast towers?
Lascivious chittering about human men.
Lies. Destroy them now.
my fricking sides holy shit
The towers were set up by the rebels who released the bugs from the farms. They broadcast anti-government messages telling people that Super Earth is the reason the bugs are so dangerous
If the bugs had to be released by an outside party, how were they dangerous?
>how are 20 million rabid gorillas dangerous if they can't open a gate by themselves
Yes now answer it rebel.
>erm well the sun is dangerous if you touch it so we should blow it up xD
Just don't let the farm animals out moron
Breakouts can happen naturally. And when they are shipping bugs bred to be the best of their species to every single planet so everyone can have local oil production, there are lots of chances of them to break out.
Imagine a low security prison in the middle of every city in your country. Except they kept nothing but rapists and mass murderers in those low security prisons and just kept building more of them and spreading them everywhere

C. Release their shit and cause chaos for the government while also reducing their supply of fuel
>Now put them in every small town and village as well
You're just describing Canada
>farming credits
>randomly get +100 SC's
huh, I thought they only appeared as 10?
very rare chance, I''ve noticed myself getting 1 in all my time playing
I think it's about 1/200 chance to get one, I've found three
You should be able to shoot the Tesla Tower with the Arc Thrower like the Tesla Trooper in Red Alert 2. Make it cause an immediate discharge hitting all targets in range to effectively boost its firerate in a pinch.
apparently the bots put out a call for some kind of ceasefire on the creek.
war is no place for cowards. you know what to do.
>next battlepass will have armor with 95% electrical resistance
>next enemy will have electrical weapons
>>BROS ITS NOT P2W YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY THE BATTLEPASSES!!!
It is P2W, but only if that stands for Play to Win.

Having friends is actual hell.
When?
april will be explosive weapons paid warbond
probably around there, or in may
If this thing can 3-4 shot a Bile titan it will be the best weapon in the game.
Does the flamethrower damage the silo?
I genuinely hope this homosexual gets turned off from the game because literally all he does is ragebait for clicks and further prove how much of a shitter he is at this game.
Why do you care
Because not only is his incessant whining adding to the "NERF ANYTHING DIFFICULT IN THIS GAME" narrative, his shit keeps popping up on my feed when I'm trying to look for actual good HD2 content.
These are the people trying to make the game moronicly easy
I want the fourth faction to be eldritch horror meat monster entities that also contains zombified, twisted versions of units from other factions.
it's gonna be the illuminate from the first game
>fourth faction
How would it do bots?
Sentient flesh that uses the bots as a skeletal structure. Like a puppet basically.
It'd be like a faction that forces the squad to prepare to fight enemies that borrow attacks and mechanics from the other 3 factions, on top of whatever unique meat monsters the faction has.
Seeing a flesh Tank/Flesh hulk just be weaker versions of the bot versions but more spawns would be neat. Like a Flesh tank being one of those pregnant flood forms from halo
Yeah, weaker versions of existing enemies, but you're dealing bug bile, bot rockets, and illuminate shields all at once.
Then you'd also have mobs with unique mechanics fitting to the theme, like perhaps centered around life stealing from you and healing each other. They could subsume your Helldiver corpse and then you'd have to deal with your own dead body.
Since they'd have no real form, you could design them like the flood or dead space necromorphs where destroying them piece by piece is how to deal with them.
the spartans head just has a prolapsed anus coming out of it
You mean handheld weapons? Because they do have gas airstrikes and the recent event is about activating giant DDT sprayers.
Only giving liberation contribution at the end of an operation is moronic. Making players commit over an hour to add .000003 percent. It should add at the end of every mission.
>it should be at the end of every mission
It is moron
Think we'll ever see a bug v bot v human world?
Probably not just because having AI fight each other would require a bunch of extra work.
Lore-wise, it makes sense though. The bugs would not differentiate between human or machine, and the automatons would have no empathy for the bugs. Also, the automatons have FTL so they gotta be getting their E-710 from somewhere.
I can't wait for tomorrow to come and the servers to die because somehow the devs haven't figured out how to not have that happen yet.
If the mechs were enough to crash their backend tomorrow is going to be fricked unless they figured out the problem
>the lynchpin of the entire game is their MTX unlock verification system
WHAT TIME IS THE WARBOND?
10:45 am gay cuckold time
I am NOT crazy! I knew they removed that shell! Two shells instead of one. As if I could ever make that mistake! Never! Never - I just couldn't prove it!
those goddamn illuminates stealing our rockets
You can do the same thing with the AMR except you load two magazines in it at once for a 13 round mag. (not really cheaty since it does still consume the mag)
Yeah if you interrupt the reload before it gets to the last stage you lose that round. If you can wait until your start to re-close the back of the rifle then you keep the round.
I can't tell if it's intended or not. If it's intended, then it shouldn't show you the 'lost' round still in the tube! It should be empty, you should get some sort of feedback that you lose the round, and the reload should reset to the part where you grab a new round and stick it in.
I think it's a bit of a glitch in the loading mechanics, honestly, the two parts of the magazine loading system and the staged reloads just not playing nice. I don't think I've seen it happen with any other weapon like that.
Will I be able to redeem the current dailies after the warbond drops, saars?
>getting kicked several times in a row on hard before even starting playing
I know I'm just level 6 but the few games I've played were nowhere near insurmontable. Does this game have a lot of meta autists or something ? I would host my games but for some reason half the time no one ever joins.
Just host.
How do I fix the problem of no one joining ? Hop between missions until it works ? Seems like either people join in the first minute or no one will ever join, even after landing and dropping an SOS beacon.
Its cause at lvl 6 you have frick all unlocked. Youre quite literally under equiped and only good for clearing chaff. Depending on the difficulty, it means youre getting carried.
>hard
Ya thats where all the morons play, they need every advantage they can get.
Black person at level 6 you have
>Shotgun
>EAT
>Airstrike
You literally have everything you need to frick everything including single Bile Titans. You're not going to sweat until level 7 with basic unlocks.
The only thing you might lack is skill and experience but that also goes for every grindgay running around with their railguns getting raped by chargers.
place your bets on what day the game will actually be playable after tomorrow
my bet's on Sunday
I need more shirtless and muscular helldiver men
Lot of low levels complaining about getting kicked but no lobbies being posted
Shill me a primary
breaker/defender
i want the old LAS-13 trident
Liberator. Killing multiple enemies at range before reloading is great, and being effective at all ranges is always useful.
>4 manning
>drop in right next to eggs and two hives
>two morons instantly split off to run halfway across the map to get a fricking illegal data tower
>im kiting like 5 biles titans with this other guy
>finally die
>cam switches to the other guys
>they're using the terminal to deactivate it instead of just blowing it up
i hate gamers
I've had several games where some guy got on mic seething that I blew up the towers instead of using the terminal
some people falsely think hacking the tower makes it have the same effect as the radar which it doesn't but i think it'd make sense if it did. give a reason to hack it instead of blowing it up across the map
I managed to beat a bot mission at the nick of time too before my computer burned down
gonna stay of this game for a while until i fix this stupid trash heap
Can I get more assault rifles
are things like airburst strike and other chaff killers worth it on difficulty 7 and stuff now that there are more hunters and small guys or is using them still a waste because of the armored mediums and such?
I like this game a lot but my god the current bug missions are fricking boring as shit
