the number of kicks you are allowed per day should be restricted
Host your own missions rentoid
Stop being Chinese.
why chinese like to kill felow bugs?
Frick no. Played a game last night with a buddy and 2 randoms. One of the randoms immediately started killing us as soon as we landed, reinforced us, and killed us again for absolutely no reason. Can you imagine if I wasn't able to kick him from the game?
Imagine just starting a new game with your buddy
Easier to get rid of the problem and stay in the current game

HOST YOUR OWN MATCH YOU FRICKING TROGLODYTE
Adjudicator, wrecks ass or sucks ass?
Shit
the eruptor and crossbow on the other hand...
I do not care for retrieve data missions
Pick up that hard drive
holy frick the Eruptor is bad. Wtf is it for
it's pretty powerful when you get to land your shots
too bad the game wants to do everything possible to stop you from landing any shots, it might actually be the worst handling weapon in the entire game
you don't even need to land the shot
if you shoot the ground near a squad of bots the fragmentation will kill 10 at a time
It hits hard as frick but the velocity seems so low. Its such a pain in the ass to hit moving targets. Also the rate of fire is unbearable. If you are getting rushed by multiple enemies you're fricked. Hoping the crossbow will be ok
That's probably why all the DMRs suck so bad.
is it worse than the counter sniper for handling (I know counter snipper got buffed but I haven't touched it since the buff so if the buff changed handling I have no frame of reference for that)
kek, same. The counter sniper was so bad pre-buff that I can't imagine these devs actually making it good so I just haven't used it.
It's for when you want to pretend you're useful to the team by bringing a worse autocannon
This.
>The eruptor is a primary autocannon woooaaah now I can bring my stalwart!
It fricking SUCKS ASSSSS!!!!
I'm sorry you're bad at the game and can't aim
>finally decide to credit grind

god I love not paying for shit
>decide to credit grind
>he didn't put any points into Luck
I still have 1.5k SC left AFTER buying the new warbond. I didn't grind a single second in this game.
I had almost enough for my first premium warbond but I ended up buying a bunch of heavy armor
Sell me on heavy armor. I don't understand why anyone would give up movement and stamina for a slight durability increase. If you get headshot or ragdolled you're just as dead. Why not use a light/med with extra padding?
you only need stamina for nids.
>Sell me on heavy armor. I don't understand why anyone would give up movement and stamina for a slight durability increase. If you get headshot or ragdolled you're just as dead.
Because some missions don't require movement and stamina if you play it right. Eradication, defense, the ones where you reach an objective then sit on it while under attack. Sure it sucks to be slow but when you survive a direct hit by a rocket and are still durable enough to get up and run away under enemy fire afterwards, you'll realize why heavy armor is a thing.
>but when you survive a direct hit by a rocket
I actually usually do survive direct rocket hits because I always bring the HP booster. What kills me is usually how I get ragdolled away at the speed of sound and pancake into a wall.
>get hit by rocket/cannon shot
>democracy protects kicks in, on one health
>ragdoll skids cartoon style along the floor into a wall
>cause of death: impact
This. I bounce between throwing distance so I can run nothing but orbital bombardments and eagle strikes on low levels and general explosive resistance because being able to tank a rocket to the head is a life saver on high level bot runs.
Hey can we draw femmediver with big breasts that don't look like they've been drawn first with her body attached afterwards?
my luck has been shit lately with finding a good map, what diff and mission types do u go for?
>diff
trivial, tiny map that guarantees all the pods and grenade caches are within two or three minutes running, a minute if your lucky
>missions
honestly the mission doesn't matter, more so the map. Anything crescent with extraction near the edge seems to be best, means your more likely to get all your stuff within a short distance. Open maps, Fori Prime is the best at the moment, clear sight lines
>Fori Prime is the best at the moment
thanks for the tip
Trivial, I've had the most luck on bug missions with the "kill Brood Mother" objective. Mainly because the objective is always in the middle so you just run a lap of the outskirts to find caches
who the frick uses any of those stratagems?
>eating good
frick off back to twitter, zoomer
>RR is the objectively worst launcher in the game, bar none
>Still addicted to the zen of manual reload, while lugging a massive backpack of missles on my back
How do we fix it without fricking up what makes it kino, bros? Really feels like needing things to it's standard is the right approach needed.
Make EATs take 3 shots to destroy Spores/Shrieker nests (change nothing about enemy values), and reduce Quasar range to be more of a CQB anti-heavy weapon where the ball dissolves after a short travel period seems like the right call.
>RR is the objectively worst launcher in the game, bar none
That's the Spear.
RR still trumps all the other launchers in raw DPS vs a titan or walker bot
Spear is bad because of a lock-on bug, and nothing more.
DPS is pointless when every dies in the same number of shots. I shouldn't have to explain this to you.
spear is bad because the reload is all one stage the lockon is much better now
RR is better for multiple bile titans. EATs have to wait for cooldowns whereas a single RR can deal with 3
You also can't target weak points with spear so you waste your even more restricted ammo pool double tapping what a RR/EAT can oneshot
>DPS is pointless when every dies in the same number of shots. I shouldn't have to explain this to you.
You really should though since DPS measures damage over time and not shots to kill.
Assist loaded RR kills the fastest.
With the spear having finnicky lock on an your shots not being guaruanteed to hit where you want them to, the RR is literally better than the Spear which was the whole point of my post.
Having many and fast accurate shots on demand is better than what the spear currently offers.
"It's only bad because of a bug"
Yeah tough breasts, that means it's bad.
Explosive damage (spewers) was bugged to oneshot you: if we go by your logic, they didnt do high damage because it was bugged.
>DPS is pointless when every dies in the same number of shots
you're not taking into account the number of enemies
if there are 3 bile titans and you have EATs, then you are fricked for 1 minute
if there are 3 bile titan and you have RR, you can kill all the titans in 30 seconds if you are skilled
this isn't even taking into account if there are also chargers around their feet, and these aren't unrealistic scenarios, this is a regular occurrence on difficulty 7+
If there are 3 BT's, you aren't reloading unless you are outside of the fray. Your made up scenario does not reflect reality.
>how do we make this one gun good
>I know we nerf the other guns!
troony thinking.
troony mindset
They've buffed it's ammo replenishment twice now, which is good enough to make it not significantly worse than either of the other two. It's a perfectly good sidegrade if you're not taking a backpack. The only thing that needs to be fixed is the way that if you cancel the reload after inserting the shell but before locking the breech, you lose another round when you restart the reload. Also, your ideas are ridiculously terrible.
>Buffed ammo
That was never the problem, Anon.
They need a stealth buff where you can unlock the launcher and dive to eject the prior shell w/o spending an extra round.
Reload times technically the same, but bull fighting has a higher skill cap
awful ideas, they should at best change how assist reload works by making it so you dont need another person to hold your backpack to help, as long you have both equipped
>as long you have both equipped
Doesn't even need to be both equipped. Why can't I have the backpack and my teammate just use that to still help me reload? It's probably easier to grab rockets off my back than his own back. People would actually use reload assist if that is the case. Devs thinking randos are going to back pack b***h for each other are moronic. It's even hard to get bros to backpack b***h for you since everyone has something they want to bring in and play with and reloading for other people is really boring since you sit there and someone else does all the work.
>Why can't I have the backpack and my teammate just use that to still help me reload
that's literally what
meant, you have both equipped, a teammate approaches you and team-reloads you off of your backpack
its actually a cool engaging solution, I would do quick reloads for my buddies all the time if this was implemented
The big difference between what you are saying and what I am saying is this
>you have both equipped
I'm saying that one guy not using the RR should be able to use my backpack that I have equipped to help reload my RR. Having both players requiring the backpack isn't going to help anything and seems like a pointless change that actually will make even less people use team reload since now you need two RR backpack between the team.
ESL, You Have Both the Backpack AND the RR Equipped "you have both equipped" not "you both have it equipped" Learn english before posting
As someone who has over 200 hours fricking extensively with every Launcher, these are absolutely great ideas. Anti-Heavy weapons should have a niche in use and (actual) tradeoffs. Consider that EAT nerf extremely forgiving.
moronic ideas, the Quasar being the worst. The Quasar already struggles in short range because of its charge up time. EAT is perfect where it's at, having to call down limited ammo every minute is a great trade off for up to two dead heavies every minute and no need to reload.
If you want to buff the RR give it a faster reload. Nobody uses team reloading and it's obvious the RR was balanced around this terribly inefficient mechanic that's only viable in lower difficulties. Maybe give it a slightly bigger AoE and an additional rocket so it can do some wave clear if you have an abundance of ammo.
RR team reload is great if they're adding more shit like the walking factories you need to dump an entire backpack into to kill. They could have RR and spear 1.5 and 2x effective blast radius respectively if they really wanted.
>Capsaicin and AITC
spicy.
Still new to the game. I'd love to flame thrower some bugs but I don't want to get bullied for not being optimal. Is it viable to be a fire chad at least on bug missions? I should probably wait until I get those upgrades at least.
just use what you want. Only homosexuals worry about metas
The guys I play with are actually fun enjoyers honestly, but I just want to make sure it's not so bad that I'm not a credit to the team. Still very new. I should run some solo missions anyway because I still don't have a grasp on objectives themselves and am just following and killing honestly.
Just aim low towards the ground and sweep it back and forth. Setting the ground on fire in a big area kills much better than aiming right at the enemies themselves. Use it for killing and area denial simultaneously for maximum effect.
Fire is very good against bugs and only morons say otherwise. Just make sure you're putting a bunch of fire on the ground so the bugs kill themselves scuttling around. Flaming a bug hole as they flood out is pure sex
Host your own games and if someone bullies you then just set them on fire. Then kick them if they try any other stupid shit in retaliation. It's really that easy.
flame thrower is fine, it's great for swarms and can take out chargers really quickly (aim for the legs, the head armour seems to deflect the fire for some reason)
just be aware that it does sweet frick-all against bile titans and is almost useless against bots
Post yfw you realize how shitty the new warbond is
Needs a Nazi Armband peeking out and it would fit perfectly.
Eruptor is good if you put in the work and use Stalwart alongside it but it stops there
Laser Cannon pairs very well with it too.
Dominator vs Eruptor, whats better? I only have enough SC for 1 pack.
neither. Get the sickle
Already have it dummy, that's why I didn't mention it.
then save your money because both are ass
>Slugger but better
>ass
neither, get the scorcher
this honestly, scorcher is objectively the best primary for bots imho
I’ll cry if they nerf it
Eh the demolisher is better. Bigger mag. Burst fire. Penetrates all the same enemies. They're both very similar. Obviously it's handling sucks though.
>no stagger
into the trash it goes. JAR-5 >>>
I'd say Dominator, it's more generally useful whereas the eruptor feels too specialised
the eruptor is basically replacing your primary with a support weapon that is a lite autocannon, it's cool, but it kinda forces you to change up your entire build around it, like taking the stalwart as a support and using it as your new primary, or else you are mainly going to be using your sidearm throughout the mission)
does interior and exterior of the ship change as you unlock more stuff?
I joined some low rank game and their ship looked like the ali express version
Yeah it does, at the very start your consoles are just screens stacked on storage boxes.

>when the Creek flashbacks start
>200 common samples per upgrade
By the time the game has 5-6 ship upgrades per type, you will need to have actual hundreds of hours to get them. This does not seem feasible for 90% of players.
It was fine when most upgrades were garbage/slightly more than cosmetic.
But now, it's kind of "mandatory" which sucks a lot.
Its only "mandatory" if you adopt the shitter mentality of needing every single edge possible before you can succeed.
Just remember, tons of players completed helldives all the time without these upgrades before they were added this morning.
Yeah, that's true you're completely right.
But it's just that the 25% flat upgrade to fire weapons shouldn't be here, and not so costly.
And like the other anon said, I'm also worried that new tiers of upgrades are just going to be and more expensives, meaning new people starting will never catch up (and not to forget there are other time consuming battlepasses to fill)
The most impressive upgrade is an extra bomb on the eagle (wow) and the upgrade to 3 (three) stratagems should probably be worth the cost
>too expensive wah
No it really isnt. People were capped on upgrades, strats, and samples by the end of the first month and had run out of things to grind.
Even I was relieved to see them be expensive bc I had an excuse to be autistic about samples again
>newbies can't catch up
Shitters can cry more? You already need a hefty time investment to make it to the T3 upgrades- you aren't new by the time you're looking at T4s.
Good. Having a long progression that’s front loaded is exactly how things should be.
Really hope they add the feature of buying samples for Reqs like requested many times. It would motivate people to complete side objectives too.
200 common samples is just ridiculous.
is the grenade pistol any good?
nah its trash and it uses your throwable grenades instead of its own ammo pool
So it only has four/six shots and you can't take it to compensate for taking smoke/stun?
No, it doesn't, it has 8 shots, the dude is just one moron who never played the game and just says random shit because he doesn't like those threads
Dope. Glad to know I can pair it with stuns. It can blow up bugholes and factories right?
Yes but it blows up on impact, so it's fricky against fabricators. However, the best application of it is that you can use it to make patrol go away by shooting a grenade far away from them, so they go investigate the explosion
Yup. The new Eruptor does too. Lots of options for blowing up outposts now
Is it me or does the Eruptor take multiple shots? is it just the angles I've been getting?
It's the angle I'm pretty sure. You have to aim down into the bughole
I haven't tried against bugs, just did a couple Bot runs. Factories are always more finicky anyways.
Ah so I can actually try and make smoke grenades work now without completly gimping myself, neat, i'll give it a try
>it uses your throwable grenades
What? What the frick? Does that mean it's a stun pistol if you have stun grenades?
Why the frick would they do this
that might be useful if they go farther than u can throw
>Uses throwable Grenades
Hol' up...
Can I lob Incendiary Grenades through the thing?

Let me know when the game becomes like Helldivers 1 where teammates stick together and help each other instead of running coward simulator.

It still exists, you can play it. I do.
I don’t own any consoles no more
People hated the fact that the screen is shared in that game, completely missing the point.

What's stopping you from playing Helldivers 2?
t. dropped Darktide months ago.
I am playing HD2 right now homie I'm just shitposting because I like Darktide but hate how dead it is.
I wanted to like Darktide but the game would need a complete rework for me to return I think. Shame since VT2 was fun.
you realize there’s a phat update coming this month right
>Phat
A gas rat reskin and a bunch of achievement bullshit is fricking pathetic after like 5 months of nothing.

Frick you and your lies, you got me all excited. The update is:

>Scab Bomber (green)
>Puzzles (find hidden buttons in map, receive useless achievement)
>New condition (-stamina regen)
It's fricking nothing. One recolored enemy, one stamina regen debuff, then a bunch of cosmetic shit. No new maps, no new weapons, no new enemy types.

Suprisingly didn't get kicked, and I even got all their samples for them. Everything went better than expected I suppose.
probably cuz it was a rando team and not host either
Why do they fricking do this, I've accepted that a lot of other players want to waste time doing every little inch of the map but some people take it way too far in various ways and still trying to do so when it's clearly going to cost us getting any extraction at all is one of the worst ways

I cannot express how absolutely bad you are at the game if you cannot plug a single Quasar shot to a Charger's exceptionally telegraphed face.
if you still don't know how to headshot chargers you should honestly just quit.
Fire has a bug that prevent anyone but the host from doing damage with it.
You're just a homosexual with the EAT though.
Just played the game and hate some bugs die from the dot of my incendiary breaker, not the host
not that moron, but the DOT is weird where sometimes it works and other times it doesnt.
you are literally just bad
You're acting like a woman by pretending to be stupid to gain attention. Disgusting.
Rules of civility prevent me from telling you exactly what I think of your attitude and what exactly is is that you should go do to yourself, but please be aware that you need to have your opinion physically corrected by a real man who knows how to respect women, and I sincerely hope you try mouthing off like this in a real life public place so that such a person can overhear you. But I suspect that you don't have the mental fortitude to ever try that without the shield of internet anonymity.
Please kindly leave this board as you and people like you are not welcome here. And I hope to never see you in game.
>anal and oral is fine
flamethrow suck against autobots. They're only good against bugs.
as it should be
What a worthless warbond. Also frick civilian extraction shitfests
mission structure has become tedious to me as well
>Also frick civilian extraction shitfests
there's now a proper defense mission where you have a fortified position and need to hold it for a time as enemy attacks increase, it's much better than civilian shit
How is this different from eradicate missions?
Play the game and you'll see.
eradicate missions just drop you into an open area and hurl waves at you chaotically
this new defense missions gives you a walled in position that has designated chokepoints and access areas, with gates you can open or close and enemies don't come from every side, just from the choke points
It really just feels more and more like the game was released unfinished and they threw this mission in just for something while the new defense is how it should have been from the get go.
personally I'm worried they're just burning through content to keep player numbers up. They clearly didn't expect this level of success but now they have a ton more pressure to pump out shit like AAA live service games. The new mission still has fricking collision boxes visible.
for the past month I've been genuinely convinced they don't playtest any of their patches and seeing the collision boxes on the new map fully confirmed it to me honestly
Completely opposite, the shit we have has been done for months, and are being drip fed into the game while new stuff is being made. How the frick do you think people were able to access unreleased weapons/armor so far ahead of schedule?
They should all have been like this.
>can I run whatever I like
Of course. The question is whether it will be the most frustrating experience or not.
The armor designs in this game are so fricking good
Destiny 1-era Bungie tier
Adjucator undertuned like all non sickle AR/DMR
Eruptor pretty much a support weapon as a primary
Nade pistol great utility
Crossbow is a much better plasma punisher and a decent alternative to the scorcher.
Decent warbond overall, but they really need to look into the AR/DMR issue because it's getting rather embarrassing.
It is so fricking crazy the DMR doesn't one shot bots to the body. Absolute fricking joke to have to headshot fodder.
>thermite
>deals damage over time for 10 seconds
>total damage is less than an impact grenade
>throw angle is completely fricked up
>apparently creates a weakspot while its fizzling
This is the weirdest designed equipment in the game.
creates a weakspot while its fizzling
No, only from people who said it does but provide no proof. That's why I said "apparently".
That fricking picture, even after years of seeing it, never fails to make me feel as though I've just had a severe stroke.
Maybe the devs should accept that making weapon descriptions shit and vague was a mistake, have the full penetration stats on more than grenades and clearly explain what the different levels mean
have tutorials for the different enemies especially a bit of something to tell people the charger ass isn't a weak point, game needs to hold your fricking hand more
It doesn't help that the weapon descriptions aren't just vague, but have literally been misleading lies.
from my testing no such mechanic exists. Medium pen shots bounce off thermite on heavy armor, light pen shots bounce off medium.
Also thermite doesn't stick to bot walkers main armor (lmao) or brood mother heads.
Kills turrets and devastators by itself (shield frickers included).
Two shots tanks.
Does frick all on bugs.
Sickle really is the best all-round primary. Weapon progression is liberator>defender>breaker>dominator>sickle
>no punisher
the punisher was an admirable stepping stone on the path to sickle truth
>Reduce battery capacity by 10%
>Max of 2 batteries
>Can't pickup battery packs on normal ammo drops (all energy weapons)
Sickle is fixed.
keep your hands off the sickle, bot.
It's getting nerfed, Anon. Cutting Edge is no longer the chase Warbond, so it's contents are up for balance patching.
Scorcher is the best for bots and it’s not particularly close. Sickle is for children who cannot manage their ammo.
>Scorcher
>Redeemer
>Stun grenades
>Autocannon
This is still the strongest bot loadout, right?
I honestly think you should consider:
Stuns
Grenade Pistol
Eruptor
Laser Cannon
Laser Cannon assfricks hulks and tanks, Eruptor helps when it's off cooldown to obliterate one berserker per shot, stuns lock everything down, grenade pistol is just utility explosives. Laser Cannon fricks hulk eyes in like 1 second of sustain.
>Laser Cannon assfricks hulks and tanks
So does the autocannon.
Laser lets you run a shield or supply pack with it though. Don't even have to bring one, just mooch off someone.
>Laser Cannon assfricks hulks and tanks
Laser cannon assfricks all bots.
I use it more than my primary some missions.
Yeah it's great. Eruptor wrecking one Berserker per shot and being able to function as a "hurt everything" weapon to back it up when it needs to cool down feels perfect to me.
>scorcher
>redeemer

is this game fun?
is there metahomosexualry or can I run whatever I like?
Devs have been actively curbstomping metahomosexualry and people get mad about it
>is this game fun?
yes.
>is there metahomosexualry
kinda, there are different schools of thought depending on preference, but they all work.
>or can I run whatever I like?
on lower levels, yes.
Yes yes and yes
Best PVE game we've had in ages, so I'd say its pretty fun
>is there metahomosexualry
There's always metahomosexualry but its really not too bad right now. There are a few objectively fricking awful weapons but for the most part you can just play however the frick you want
theres no metahomosexualry but many weapons are undertuned so theres clear winners.
You can run whatever you like on regular difficulties but you are more limited on hard difficulties. Most of the meta homosexualry is due the fact that there's just a lot of shit weapons and stratagems that just feel like the devs never used the weapons themselves to see how bad they are. I mean how the frick did the counter sniper make it into the game?
or the heavy mg for that matter
Hmg is fun to use
The unobtrusive awfully off-center red dot is good for readjusting shots
What's unforgivable is
>Obscene recoil so you never full auto
>Those pussy shits nerfing fullest auto from 1200 to 900 rpm
Sweden is moronic beyond measure
I don't know how bad the Counter Sniper was before the buff but it's good now if you use it for sniping bots. Any bot with an exposed face gets wrecked by it.
>is there netahomosexualry
Yes, it has Destiny levels of metahomosexualry, with devs that heavily nerf some meta weapons in moronic ways while providing usually minor buffs to some weak weapons.
You can basically run everything just be sure to being something against armored stuff.
Sweatlords will disagree though
>metahomosexualry
more or less. there's at least 1 or 2 stratagems you really need for certain enemies, but otherwise you're free to do whatever
>is this game fun?
Absolutely. More so with friends
>is there metahomosexualry
There always is. Shit gets buffed or nerfed as necessary and morons will harp about meta for even mediocre shit because they heard someone say something.
>can I run whatever I like?
If you host yourself, they won't be able to kick you. Certain enemies and missions are better with specific kits, but you have several options that are mostly about personal preference.
On max difficulty, you're guaranteed to need every type of tool at some point, but it's your choice which you pick. There are strategems and weapons I don't like, but I've never felt the need to use something I dislike otherwise it's impossible to win the mission.
both primary and support weapons are basically only to take out small enemies and hold out till the big guns show up.
just bring whatever suits you, i love machine pistols
The devs actively create metahomosexualry by making some weapons and stratagems dogshit, so the meta players have to pick up the slack for lil Timmy who just really thinks the mine field stratagem is good or the easily impressed weed heads who bring incendiary breaker or napalm which kills divers faster then it kills enemies (only kills enemies if you’re network host btw).
very
you can run whatever the frick so long as you can shoot and do objectives
some weirdos will kick players though for whatever reason, so I recommend hosting if you're new
Anyone tell you to JUST BRING WHATEVER only plays baby difficulties or is carried by actual players at hard difficulties. They devs want this to be a kind of "souls" diffcult game where you die and fail, and they nerf weapons to achieve that gameplay. There are just objective best things to bring in, and there are objective things that are a compromise to bring in.
i play on difficulties that let me bring whatever I want and be challenged but not overwhelmed.
problem?
Nope, not at all. That's what I"m getting it, actually. The people, like you, who say bring in whatever are playing at baby difficulties. I'm glad you're honest about it.
slowly climbing up the skill ladder is way more fun then forcing yourself to play the hardest difficulty all the time.
there is a reason you can choose how you wanna play
Tell me legitimately one stratagem that you can't use Except for Eagle strafing run
the early stratagems like eagle strafe and precision strike are pretty pointless tbqh
Precision Strike is a better Rail Cannon in every possible way except for when delayed strategem modifiers are applied. Literal skill issue.
Precision strike is useless in bug missions now that they made bile titans immune to stuns
>randomly decides to walk slightly to the left and away from the marker
Nothin personnel, helldiver
If you ever needed to stun BT's to hit them with OPS, you're a fricking hack. They have 2 goddamn baked in attack animations, and both last longer than the unmodified Orbital call-in timer.
It's not great for anything that moves faster than a tank, deployment time too long.
>Toss OPS
>Toss stun grenade
>Laugh
So you're using one extra resource to achieve the same job that one stratagem can handle. Don't get me wrong, I use the OPS too but I like saving it for structures and heavies while using the ORC for enemies that move.
I'm using a single stun grenade to cut my Railcannon timer by 2/3's. Considering Grenades are constantly being refilled, that's barely even using a resource, especially if I'm running Grenade Launcher + Supply Pack.
It's a wonder you can walk and breath at the same time, Anon.
What's the point?
I can use 2-3 OPS in the time it takes you to recharge one Railcannon (that won't even 1 shot a BT).
>Arguing precision vs railcannon
Good lord why can't we all just agree you're both hipsters
Precision is versatile , but nowhere near as useful as you make it seem
It's extremely useful, and got a massive stealth buff with the inclusion of stun grenades. It's only negative quality is if a modifier fricks with it's call-in timer.
>Bringing both railcannon and precision strike
As long as you stay off my fricking planet you're alright
That sounds genuinely awful to dedicate two stratagems to killing individual targets
In a world where they cooldown faster or have multiple charges maybe
But you're not sounding very useful
That said
Orbital precision should retain it's current CD, but have multiple charges that cooldown separately
>That sounds genuinely awful to dedicate two stratagems to killing individual targets
I take it along with the Spear on those "destroy structure" missions. Problem? Have fun playing roulette with orbital spreads or running all the way up to a tower and getting sniped.
>2 single targets and a spear
Are you joking, airstrike can like up multiple
Circling around a fabricator and canning it is still faster than getting a clear shot on random fabs
Twats like you give people the wrong idea about the game
I'm not even going to rule out the fact that the spear might be a host thing, but it doesn't change the fact that islf that is the case it's bad for 75% of players in a 4 man
Because it is the eternal swede made manifest
>Circling around a fabricator and canning it is still faster than getting a clear shot on random fabs
lol no, I remove structures before I'm even in the bots' effective range. My teammates just waltz in and by the time they get there, the fabs and turrets have already been deleted.
>call in precision strike
>look inside
>it's not precise
Yeah I feel like Precision Strike and Rail Cannon should switch their names
Strafing run is good at its job at least, if you really want it in your kit you can work with it. It clears hordes very well and is easy to aim. It can be alright cover for waiting for a quasar reload.
Nah, Eagle Strafe is actually pretty good for horde clear.
>comes out near instantly
>covers a pretty long distance
>some degree of targeting
>shreds anything that's not a heavy
If it got more charges at base, it'd be perfect.
>precision strike
>pointless
actual shitter detected
>eagle strafe
>bad
>literally a 3 use (with obligatory upgrade) quick aurstrike that can take down base spawners, most buildings, and does huge damage through even heavy armor
>precision strike
>bad
>1 hits everything except bile titans every 100 seconds
strafe (with the guns), not airstrike (with the bombs).
Ah
Strafe is still good. It's just a vertical cluster bomb which is a lot better in some situations
It's not good. It's just what you get at the beginning of the game because no one told you to get the other two eagles instead. The only way to make the air strafe good is to go HD1 and just let you call down like 15 of them in .1 second over and over. The clusterbomb and air strike just outclass it at everything at the moment. It's objectively not a good stratagem to bring in.
the eagle air strafe is so useless that morons don't even know it exists and thinks it is the air strike
HMG emplacement is objectively garbage on anything more than diff 3 since it can't affect any heavy, and also the just the regular HMG. Also eagle smokes. There's tons of trash stratagems. The irony of people complaining about metahomosexualry is that they never actually use the shitty stuff themselves to know how bad some of the shit is. They basically stick to the meta while making fun of "metahomosexualry"
>HMG emplacement is objectively garbage on anything more than diff 3 since it can't affect any heavy
nah the HMG is good up until like diff 6
it fricks up devastators, striders, all the medium-large enemies. it can't kill chargers or annihilator tanks but it can pierce the hulk eye very easily and very quickly
also unlike the sentries you can actually pilot it and stop it from mindlessly wasting half the ammo on invulnerable targets
the main problem with the HMG emplacement is that for most players they deploy it too late and don't know the proper position for it
The emplacement on bots needs the shield in order to not just get rocketed like every other turret.
if there's so many bots that you're getting rocketed despite all the bullets you're sending their way, every sentry would be pretty shit in that situation
i run the HMG at difficulty 6 pretty often i don't see what's so bad about it other than lacking exlposive damage
There's nothing better than dropping a turret down early at a location you know you'll be at for a while.
And two people in HMG turrets actually fricks a little too hard against the Bots.
HMG emplacement is S-tier on the new defense mission, assuming your moronic teammates don't destroy it.
I like it on the new defense mission. Both the ones that are already there at the start and also bringing it along to put down more of them.
Napalm and gas if you're not the host
There’s no objectively best thing. You can drop into level 7’s all night, complete every mission, and not see the same loadout twice.
Cool, record yourself doing a Helldive mission with your loadout being Blitzer, Dagger, thermite grenade, heavy armour, gas strike, eagle napalm, ballistic shield, and the HMG.
>Shoot Eruptor into dropship
>6 kills
I love this cluster bomb dispenser
Also in one of the defence map if you put autocannon/ rocket sentry on the helipad they can shoot down dropships
Dagger with ballistic shield is fun
Heavy devastator can't do anything but watch you slowly melt it's face
If someone tells you there's a meta they're lying
Game does feel better if you're a specialist or a splinter-solo guy
Both starts work if you know what you're doing, you're not dying for no reason, etc
>is there metahomosexualry or can I run whatever I like?
It's a PvE coop horde shooter with 9 different difficulties. No one's stopping you from running whatever.
The whole "I was kicked because I didn't equip shield/railgun" phase the community went through was way overblown
Frick any other updates, give me pre-saved loadouts, now!
Did they ever switch put the rootkit anti cheat with something less unnecessarily invasive?
no
Good lord, even more fire damage? Feele like grilling season is upon us.
Wonder how often they'll add new strategems like this.
>New ship module that buffs lightning and makes the arc thrower even stronger
>Doesn't affect the Blitzer though lmao
Okay.
Sorry the what? We don't see that weapon in our telemetry.

LEGO af, I fux widdit
A while ago I saw a damage zone guide for chargers, it was really handy, does anyone have similar for titans?
Everything bright green is medium armour and weak to explosive damage like the charger ass but you have to do some level of heavy armour penetration to actually kill it. You can cause it to bleed out by shooting the side with an RR and laying into the wound with other weapons, but all you should really do is pop it in the head twice with an EAT/RR/Quasar. Blowing out the sacks on the bottom stops it from spewing.
I feel so embarrassed when something happens like I am trying to throw an eagle and I get blasted, drop the ball and it kills my squadmates, I just quit a game because of it
I dont mind anon, the game would be boring if everything went to plan
its cringe to leave instead of just sticking around and laughing together about it
>Peek out of cover for 0.1s to throw the stratagem
>By pure coincidence, one of the 5 rocket devastators had taken that moment to shoot
>Get hit with explosive, drop the ball, kill myself
AUTOMATONS ARE SO FRICKING ANNOYING
It's almost like they have machine-like levels of reaction time and precision.
>Well you see, they're actually super fricking obnoxious to fight because of lore reasons
Ok that doesn't change how they're super fricking obnoxious.
Don't feel bad, it's going to seem like a humblebrag but I'm usually the highest killer, least deaths, guy who gets shit done in a match and I have also done stupid shit like stumble off a rock and shart cloud gas strike my entire team to death within 30 seconds of dropping in. Of course i was level 15-20 at the time but I still dont think ive ever tried to run gas strike in the 50 levels Ive gained since then lmao... Idk man, you'll just get better and be less prone to goofy shit like that. It's fine, accidents happen and anybody can go full moron sometimes.
I had this happen on the new defense mission. Dropped a 380 and destroyed every single gate . It was hilarious lmao
>destroy gates
>can't kill a single lonely automaton
120 and 380 are so fricking garbage
>6 bot planets
we're never gonna get anything done, bot players are too scattered. Plus I'm autokicking anyone using the Eruptor until they change the knockback. I've been stunned multiple times because some rand is missing with it and the explosions knock me down.
how do i grind for super credits?
i want stratagem where you can see bombs slowly falling from the sky.
The current bombs move too fast.
Go to a mission, find SC
Leave
load same map again
find SCs again
I kept doing this with my brother while also aiming for the 6 minute Blitz mission achievement
>Complain for weeks about nothing to spend samples on
>New stuff added
>”Noooo its too expensive!”
doesnt help these morons coded rare and common samples the wrong way around lole
you play on medium or something?
The only way you'd have more common samples is if you play on lower difficulties though?
I haven't played below 7 since unlocking it, but I'll take your word for it
>being a fricking liar
>every spot that has mediums has 2-3 commons
>blind moron thinks it's some conspiracy
sad
Not that anon, but I can't recall a single mission where I've had more rare samples than common regardless of difficulty level. Could just be you're unlucky or missing common pickup spots.
I've never seen a more b***hy ass community as this
>HE barragges are more accurate

Thinking of picking this up this week. Can I get a qrd on the hype around this game? What's the gameplay most similar to? I've perused these threads and some say its similar to MGSV? Like, what's the core gameplay loop?
run and gun type game and you get to call in artillery and weapons.
I would say the gameplay is simillar to far cry in some ways with destryoing outposts and what not but its really not
Many compare it to EDF (I never played it so idk)
For me it just feels like playing Halo with the bros back when (campaign obviously not PVP)
It's gonna feel that much more like it when they drop the jeep.
Yes I can't wait for it
>extremely fragile
>5° turn radius
>so fast that it flips over from any kind of bump
>gets damaged from touching terrain and enemies
>wheels can get damaged by terrain and enemies

I'm sorry to say, but it's garbage.
They actually buffed Mech durability and I doubt the jeep will persist as unusable if it even actually is
It was fun in HD1 once you got all slots filled
>autocannon on the roof for meaty types
>MG each side for chaff
>Driver thinks he can ram a tank and live
i would imagine that a unfinished hacked in item would indeed be shit
By any chance did you ever play Black on PS2?
Only absolute shitters Reek of the Creek.
I usually don't care about these things but jesus this is gay
Creek survivor is actually the type of person who deserves to be kicked for being a minmax homosexual
Any amount of time on bot planets should tell you a hot LZ encourages some level of split with rendezvous at some point
I'll have a guy pick a drop zone, it's invariably hot, and if we frick up and let them call in the dropships frankly we should all run for a random objective
SOMEONE will have a relatively low amount of attention and usually find a safe call in zone
But yeah it's moronic to think only lonewolfing is what makes a "malevelon creek survivor"
Every time i've picked up a supply pack off the ground I drop it when I realize i've got no idea how to use it on people
walk up to them and press E
Ah, that should have been obvious I suppose
you can also resupply yourself if you press 5
Press down on the d-pad when you are next to them.
>CreekBlack person soloing objectives
>Not the veteran being able to do the entire mission solo but choosing not to.
You can tell the person who made this is a gay.
anyone who draws helldivers without helmets is a certified gay
Except for
The only times you should ever solo objectives are to get poi that are in the direction of the next objective or to scout slightly ahead and clear an objective that your team is about to go to.
The worst thing in the world is that annoying homosexual that dies a million miles away from everyone else then when they're spawned back in beelines to their body just to die again
>still play the Punisher
this shit has crazy RoF, has more accuracy than a rifle, is only outclassed by eagles for damage, will never waste ammo, can be fully reloaded in two seconds flat, can stagger almost everything.
How do I play something else? isn't this the best gun in the game?
Is the adjudicator gud?
it's redefining what awful really means
I skipped work for this...
The Eruptor's good at least bro.
Just use the counter sniper and pretend it's the new weapon
the buff it got a while back was only to make it medium pen right? the adjudicator having medium pen is nice but having not tried the medium pen buff for counter sniper I feel like it can't be a big enough buff to be worth it, although i'm aware medium pen can mean different things because devs are moronic
>Skipping work
Fine whatever
>For the eternal swede
Lmao what did you expect
Nobody tell him
So let me ask you a very reasonable question
how many shots to the body of a basic bot do you think it kills them in
There's no such thing as a bad weapon in this game. Just bring in whatever you want . You aren't a meta slave are you? 🙂
from the little I've done I would say I still prefer the diligence but they're not quite going for the same thing so it's not the same level of pretty much entirely inferior as the counter sniper is
key points:
>less sight range, max is 100 meters
>has a full auto mode
Do you think it's fine to have a damage falloff equivalent to a watergun on a dmr with medium armor penetration?
It might be better than the counter sniper but I dumped a whole mag in to a bots face and it killed me. There is no stagger at all. Maybe it might work better for bugs.
how the frick do i get more common samples
im overflowing with rares and supers but i have NO commons at all
i cant even get into most of the module trees because im so starved for commons, im lvl 30 and have like 3 modules
play low difficulties and farm them
Play the game. If you want to be "The most efficient", strap on light armour and stamina booster, and have fun playing trivial missions all day.
Go back in time 2 months ago and farm Bot Defense.
10 commons in >3min.
Is buying super credits bugged right now? I can't seem to get it to work. I've got the funds in my Steam account, but for some reason the actual in-game thing that pops up the Steam overlay won't work.
Just send a bug report or something.
If it has to do with buying SC then the devs will work on a hotfix pronto.
>now fully half the orbital upgrades only affect barrages
>still only one that affects the EMS strike unless the damage falloff upgrade actually has some effect on it I don't know about
new eagle upgrade is great though
I hope you don't have to take the enhanced combustion to take whatever is added after it
same for circuit expansion, 2 upgrades that only affect a couple things, great if you use them a roadbump for what comes after if you don't
I picked up the game yesterday, won't be able to play consistently with friends until they are done school this semester (~2 weeks), how is the solo queuing scene, especially as a new player? Will I get flamed for having no unlocks or should I just grind those out solo until I get some better Stratagems/weapons?
You're going to get killed by your teammates more than enemies in the early levels.
Just host and throw out some SOS beacons, people will join in and they're gonna be cool most likely. Just work your way up the difficulties hosting yourself.
Solo queue is fine, but you should stay away from the higher difficulties until you have the essentials unlocked (around lvl 15).
Solo randoms are usually fine. I'd recommend staying away from difficulty 5+ until you're really comfortable with the lower difficulties and have some good stuff unlocked.
samples are actual dogshit rn.
make every sample container worth 10 samples and its balanced.
most bullshit currency in the game.
>drop into game
>3 fricking detector towers
Cmon now
Conveniently you also get 3 orbital lasers.
Problem?
servo assist reduces sway when? the eruptor is unusable
so join on SOS beacons for decent randos and stay out of quickplay to avoid bad randos?
I only do quickplay and I've had a lot of fun
Just expect that sometimes you may get kicked immediately when you join SOS beacons.
It's easy to accidently throw down an SOS when you are trying to revive and that sometimes happens in private lobbies that didn't want a random person to join. But once the SOS beacon is down you can't stop it.

What is the Gankererdict on the Adjudicator rifle?
bad
3 chest shot to kill the most basic bot
doesn't do enough damage to enemies to make up for the armour pen
recoil is a bit too high taking the last 2 points into account
I used it for 2 rounds then went back to the Jar-5, which is also medium armour pen, has over 4 times the damage per shot and similar recoil
I don't know why Arrowhead hates DMR's so much?
>3 chest shot to kill the most basic bot
Does at least one shot head shot bots?
At point blank range yes. At about 40 meters no.
basic ones sure
devastators are 3 face shots I believe, don't even bother shooting their bodies with it, you will empty a magazine and not kill it
>I don't know why Arrowhead hates DMR's so much?
They don't play the game.
How's the crossbow?
>morons thing the eruptor is bad
>when it's a 100m impact grenade that 1 hits striders, devestators, and berserkers along with the aoe killing any small fry at long distances
>also can destroy fabricators and do good damage to base cannons
Just take a laser guard dog or any machine gun support weapon for guys that get too close and don't be moronic about shooting enemies too close or next to an ally
Hell with heavy armor that resists explosive damage you can even ignore that last part since you'll barely take any damage in that case
quaser > EATs
not when you have 3 dropships landing at the same time
For bots yes
For bugs give me EAT any day. Less carry weight goes a long way when everything besides bile titans gets 1 shot by the EAT.
Quasar-EAT-Quasar-EAT-repeat
EATs will forever be the best simply because they practically don't even take up the support slot.
the quasar's chargeup time is sometimes awfully inconvenient and in that case when you need an instant rocket it's EAT/recoilless that mog it
The only reason to use the EAT is if you've already brought another support weapon
Don't kid yourself it's not that inconvenient
Eat is still useful though for that situation alone
It's genuinely useless on bot eradication though
But then so is every support weapon
>sub 9 opinion
Disregarded
No one's impressed that you exclusively play helldive, homosexual. If it's valid for 8 of 9 difficulties, then it's valid for 99% of players.

Wait… Those are not rocket.
What are they hiding from us bros?
Standard class F travelling method. Nothing to see here citizen.
Yer a clone
If those are helldivers... and we're evacuating high value assets...
Super Earth.... DOES care!
Those pods could be transporting anything. Maybe they're rebels, or maybe cyborgs.
You think the missiles are the assets you're evacuating?
Considering we are at the moment evacuating assets from planets close to the cyborg gulags, I'm guessing those are cyborg prisoners.
Makes no sense to keep high value helldivers frozen in underground bunkers in this area of space.

>All free thinking Chinamen have long since lost their right to internet

Same, I got my Hell Dive two days ago from the first time I did that new defense mission, all randoms, all first time doing that mission type.
So what's on the new warbond? I'm at work 🙁
A grenade pistol.
The rest may as well not exist.
>implying eruptor isn't one of the best weapons in the game
Play some helldives with it. It's not that great.
Fight bots with it. It 1 shots everything except hulks and can destroy fabricators
Dumb beginner question. Is the scout spotting perk only available on light armor or has it rolled on any other pieces of armor yet?

CRYO WEAPONS WHEN
Are lighter explosive weapons like Grenade Launcher or Autocannon good against big enemies like chargers or bile titans? It's hard to tell, sometimes I do decent damage and sometimes it seems like I'm tickling them and my shots ricochet
Autocannon assfricks chargers (literally - don't aim at the head, it'll bounce), not sure about titans tho
Shoot Chargers in the rear after they pass you 4-5 times and they'll begin to bleed out. You can break the spewer sacs on the belly of a Bile Titan with the Auto Cannon, but you won't do much else against it.
Why the hell you asking about the bugs for, get on the bot front we're about to lose Super Earth because you fricking bug players aren't pulling your weight in the Major Order.
BASED, CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY AGAIN TONIGHT.
I realised this media literacy shit was pure midwit trash when i got to a robot planet and noticed all of the heads on spikes and concentration camps
Basically being ~~*media literate*~~ seems to mean that you believe whatever you are told overtly to believe with no critical thinking ability. They're literally telling you you're not NPC enough.
yeah it's the standard doublespeak where the word means literally the opposite of what's it's originally intended to be used for.
Unironically the only thing super earth did wrong was start a war with the illuminate.
Cyborg commies are straight up evil and if you could genetically engineer dinosaurs who could be cheaply farmed for oil do you think anyone but some hippy vegans wouldn't say it's worth the risk?
Surely there could have been a more efficient way to engineer a species that could be farmed for resources than creating this fricking thing
Pretty sure the especially monstrous bugs are accidentally made by pollution or based moron scientists who thought Jurassic World had a point about weaponizing dinos.
unintended consequences
I feel like a lot of the people saying that the bots are totally not mechanical satan were gaslit by that one fanmade video of them saying they won't kill every human that has ever lived if they win
Just to put it into perspective one of their actual in-game voicelines is "Super Earth will burn"
>Oh, those deathly looking people who perverted their perfectly healthy bodies into mechanical abominations? Those people whose end goal is to become literal war machines that do nothing more than kill people? Yeah, they're not actually evil, they're just oppressed, disenfranchised minorities. You're the bad guy for disassembling... I mean killing them
managed deomcracy is a better system then current democracy and helldivers are 100% the good guys.
bugs are just kinda there, but automatons are 100% a threat.
Just letting your enemies get the assets they want and banking on them not agressing further is fricking moronic as proven by history time and time again
Anyone that knows the lore or played the first game should realize that. Cyborgs were basically the soviet union. They spread their cult planet to planet and once they were the ruling voice of the planet they genocided / imprisoned anyone that defied them. Now their machines are trying to free their imprisoned leaders and pinky promise swear they won't do that same shit again
Its the new assault rifle good?
Is that a 23 flavors joke.
Crossbrow is just ok, Scorcher is better. The same can be said for all the new weapons, stuff we already got is just better
>decide to try the railgun out since I have infinite money and nothing else to spend it on
>"surely it isn't as bad as it has been purported to be"
>safe mode is useless except maybe against devastators or medium sized bugs which can just be killed with a primary anyway
>has the same problem the quasar has, namely the risk of being interrupted mid charge
>only it can't one shot chargers like the quasar
>unsafe mode isn't even enough to kill a charger even 4 headshots
>can't even do things like destroy spawns or holes like other proper AT can
>but at least it'll kill you if you try to squeeze out some extra damage, temporarily putting you out of the misery of struggling to make it work
There's no way they actually tested this piece of shit after they nerfed it. No wonder I never see anybody using this thing.
Remember that they spent a month thinking that railgun is unbalanced not the entire rest of the game is unbalanced. They just wanted to get rid of it before they realized they had to change literally everything else.
been a while since I've seen a railgun in game. I bet the devs can see exactly how popular different weapons are on a broad scale
I only like to take the railgun against bots, it is a very decent weapon against any of the heavier bots with one charged shot to the eye but it needs some steady aim and charge up time.
Taking the sniper is the much less try hard option though, much better aim since you can actually set a zoom, no charge up crap, can't one shot hulks though which always feels nice.
Is it worth farming difficulty 6 for samples or should I stick to 9?
6 seems the best one to farm on. 7 and upwards it’s a dice roll of how fricked you’ll get
if you don't need supers and your only objective is farming samples then yes it's quicker to farm 6
dead game
the new explosive weapon can apparently one shot chargers from behind?
Explosive damage pops the charger's ass quickly yeah.
It's not a oneshot, it will still waddle around for 10 seconds or so before bleeding out.
>defending humanity from terminators is...
>le bad?
these people need to be dropped off on autamaton planet and try asking the bots for support.
haha
Democratic Detonation or Cutting Edge?
Man it feels like 90% of the new weapons they release always fricking suck
is it just me or do the bots have guts spilling out of them now what the frick
>Everybody debating what guns are good or bad
>meta discussions about optimal ways to play
>I just log in, play 2 matches of diff 4 with weapons I like, then log off
>have fun doing that every day
Hey, if you just want to blow off some steam by blowing up bugs after work, that's all fine and dandy.
After doing diff 9 everyday i don't think i would enjoy anything lower. The chaos is just too fun.
Am I just moronic or is the erupter incapable of killing hulks through the eye slit. It fricks up everything else apart from them up front.
>thermite grenade sucks
ITS OVER
I can't believe it doesn't melt armor, what a wasted opportunity.
I think it's currently affected by the DOT bug
I sticked one on a hunter. It did no damage and it didn't even aggro it
Definitely bugged then like fire and gas.
You'd think these fricking Swedes would fix an entire category of damage time before releasing a grenade of said damage type and ship module that boosts said damage type
Have you purchased SC with real money?
yes because my time is worth more than the $5 I needed in SC
No. Cool hat.
>buy one of the new ship modules
>sample total doesn't decrease, it's now bugged and won't let me buy anymore
there's always a catch with this game
>all the new ship modules buff all the playstyles except for lasers
piss bros..... i dont feel so good....
Are there really "people" in these threads who don't exclusively play diff9? I get sub level 20's all the time, and we always win.
I do 7 with randoms, 9 with friends.
You'd think they reuse stuff like explosion effects like they reuse those crooked hideous sights, but they managed to code the eruptor explosion backwards.
Unless it shoots some miniature black holes.
I swear it's just built on top on the AC "frame," since that same forward ragdoll internal explosion is very reproducible on AC if you're clipping or too close to geometry
kinda strange considering that MG Devastators get homing tip-fire that can shoot through mountains and even backwards through themselves no problem
1500kg bombs when?
Nuke is a leaked strategem. Probably a 2 or 3 time use hellbomb tier orbital with a 7-10 minute cooldown if I had to guess.
yeah I need that to fall slowly and visibly out of the sky.
Complete with the Looney Tunes slide whistle, yes?
depends.
but rn bombs and stuff falls too fast to be satisfying.
I think the stuff should appear in the sky sooner but fall slower.
but thats just my opinion, i like watching artillery rain down
>New gasmask armor perk
>Comes with new grenade
>IT'S FRICKING SERVO-ASSISTED
FRICKING GOD DAMNIT ONE OF THE BEST ARMOR DESIGNS AND IT COMES WITH THE WORST FRICKING PERK IN THE GAME
>Servo-assisted
I don't get why the hell they changed it from engineering kit to servo-assisted when it doesn't look like it has any servos at all.
I would have vastly preferred engineering kit or even just extra padding.
At least it's not scout armor.
Can we still get this armor? I checked the shop ingame and in Steam but there was nothing there.
Anon it says pre-order bonus right fricking there.
I'm aware, I'm asking if I can get it any other way. Read.
No Black person.
Calm down moron
It's a moronic question either way because they're not going to add a way to get exclusive pre-order armor 3 months into the game's lifetime.
I mean. All the shit that you get as preorder bonus in fromsoftware games. You can get those by playing the game. So what anon asked isn't that moronic tbqh.
I have 1000 SCs. Which premium battle pass should I get?
cutting edge for laser rifle+ stun grenade or newest for some snazzy armour + explosive stuff
>the Automatons were wiped out
Guess It's not worth to start playing anymore, it seems the ship has sailed..
>Yet another secondary who gets all of his information from the thread and doesn't actually play the game.
>moron with 0 reading comprehension
No, he's right. The automatons WERE wiped out but now they're back
stupid Black person
TOTAL AUTOMATON DEATH
>See RR and Autocannon on the list for the resupply upgrade
>Buy it only to realize it's magazines and not backpack slots
cant believe there are morons advocating for them to remove the kick feature or dumb it down
its the only thing keeping the morons and trolls at bay. just had a teammate tk me because I spawned him like 50 meters from his dead body, imagine if there weren't any repercussions?
