thriving GOTY masterpiece
Seeing how the things are going on this year, I'm unironically convinced that goty will go to Helldivers 2
I'm enjoying it a lot too
Why the frick are morons actually choosing the airburst rocket? It's worthless
>Yo but you can shoot down gunships (the autocannon already does this)
>Yo but you can shoot down dropships (every AT already does this)
>Yo but you can kill shriekers (just shoot them with your primary, dumbass)
I literally and unironically don't get it.
It's a ground control rocket that also hits air targets.
It’s like shooting a cluster bomb. It’s not going to be good but it will be better than mines. Mines should have been an eagle that deploys like 5-10x as many mines over a long strip.
as opposed to mines with a cd that's way too long and takes way too many to kill a simple charger? not to mention it still triggers when player walks on it
at least with the rocket I can pick what it kills
I've had dudes die 12 times and wear it like a badge of honor lol
Play EDF instead. Just make sure to boot any Callsigns when playing Inferno.
I like both games
I am a 500 hour calsign who mains Ranger. I am who your parents warned you about.
>play defense mission

Skill issue.

You beat the time. Time to stop playing
Just don't be where the rounds are landing, homie. Like God damn
I want to use the flamethrower. I will play how I like. You are a Black.
>joiner
>using a flamethrower
you really are stupid
>using flamethrower
>complaining about TK
>claiming to not be a Black person
You sound like that b***h who walked into 4 of my gas strikes last night. 3 when I said gas and once when I said gas don't rush
>leave
no i actually kicked you because youre a shitter
just don't be near enemies shitter
>play defense mission
>2 of our 4 squad team somehow manage to land on both generators and instantly lose the game for us
Wait is that seriously a thing? Pffft hahaha
Yes, despite them claiming that the drop pod restrictions were to prevent soft locking. they forgot this mission
That's pretty funny.
>play defense mission
>see Bile Titan get close to the last collapsable wall
>throw railgun strategem
>it fricking decides to ignore the BT and hit the generator
>we lose but extract
I'll do that next time, frick defense missions.
On bots that’s good on bugs it can be meh to horrible team killing unless it’s the emp
>new defense mission
>everyone brings mortar
>afk whenever mortar is on cd
Gonna ask my friends to do a mortarless run next time, that shit is boring
>finished a diff 8 mission with every objective without anyone in the squad dying for the first time
today was a good day 🙂
Close to getting the JAR is it actually fun I see people say it's good but no one uses it
Its really good but its pretty awkward to use. Heavy recoil and weapon sway, pretty hard to run and gun with it.
Its awesome against bots but its hard for me to pick it up for bugs
the Eruptor kinda killed it
Why? The Eruptor is slow as shit to fire and has a 5 rnd mag. Can't be really used as primary meanwhile Dominator is solid
That's the point. It has autocannon/AMR level armor pierce, this is a primary for when your support weapons is your actual primary. Like stalwart. There's nothing except stalwart though, both other MGs are shit and stalwart is barely good.
Dominators problem is the all the muzzle smoke and high recoil makes follow up shots a pain. Things dont die unless you're hitting them with explosive type or their magic glowing weak spot. Ridiculous that I can fire 8 shots into a devastor and the homie just keeps on walking.
Skill issue
Take engineer set to reduce recoil and compensate with the mouse, use third person to see around the smoke. My main gripe with dominator is slow ass aiming speed tbh
So we're taking Choohe for them sweet anti-tanks, right?
good luck getting people to play menkent
Yes but we're going Lesath->Penta->Chort->Choohe cuz frick Menkent.
And then that leaves the Charbal VII front open to expand back to Draupnir and the creek.
New warbond when?
New enemy species when?
New (city) maps when?
by the first or second week of next month
probably by summer
also by summer
I remember seeing a early leak of the airburst and it was capable of taking down a tank in one shot. Is it still really strong or is there any notable flaws to it?I just want a rocket launcher that can mostly one-shot like my HD1 recoilless
It's AA focused so it likely won't do shit against ground targets. The leaked one is obviously overtuned, like the Eagle carpet bomb.
You are moronic. Airburst does not mean anti air. The devs use the normal game to test weapons because leakers found out the Quasar cannon was heavily underpowered but quickly found out the devs buffed the damage just a few days before release. What you see on leaked videos is what you get on release. So unless they adjust the values again, it's staying like that
>drop with a level 70
>we drop right near a strategem jammer
>he dies as I'm trying to shut it off, spams the space bar
>leaves 5 seconds before I shut it off
What was his fricking problem?
(You)
they really need to add a pop-up for dead morons, just something like THIS PLAYER IS CURRENTLY JAMMED
>press push to talk button
>using a combination of your vocal chords, tongue, and lips, you can speak words into your microphone to convey the information that you are jammed
Not that Anon but what microphone? If i wanted to talk to morons i go to my work.
microphones are standard Gamer Gear™
>tell moron he's moronic anon 🙂
nah, he can figure it out on his own (good luck lol)
why are you zoomers so afraid of someone hearing your voice?
what do you expect, the phones they grew up with are basically fax machines. talking is an old person thing
Guy just left when we drop in and get a hulk and a tank dropshipped on us.
Hulk and tank are dead 3 seconds later, mission is a walk.
I assume he DCed because there's no way someone would lose composure over getting dropships on spawn.
That's a given on anything but the baby diffs.
>Order to take planet
>Can't fly to planet despite having spaceships to navigate space
Is that planetary supply line shit represented in game anywhere or must you tune in to some kind of discord gay box to learn how the game actually works.
Supply lines are not displayed in game. You have to use out of game tools to see them. The majority of the playerbase has no idea how they work or that they even exist as a mechanic. This was evident with the one buggo order to take zagon prime and fori prime. Instead of going hellmire > nivel > zagon the masses went for oshaune thinking it was closer to zagon. However, that chain goes fori > oshaune > omicron > zagon. The order failed because of this.
It also does not help that liberation depends heavily on the % of total active players on a planet. The masses decide the front that gets pushed and if the masses are wrong its fricked.

Yeah just gonna take a break again. Check steam charts and player count is way down, so only homosexuals must be left. It's not even their fault, it's those damn swedes.
NOBODY GIVES A FRICK
KICK JOINERS
HOST YOUR OWN GAME YOU Black person
>an attempt was made
Hey, I've had some eastern european homosexual yell at me, too. I joined the destroyer and had to run to the pods, so he chimped out.
I killed him in game, by meleeing him into water, then shooting him, when he made it out.
Was good.
It's been three months, play something else and leave this fotm nazi game to die
ninja hulks lmfao
Flame hulks are a menace
so game is def broken with spawning but fotm kids think its a feature?
see name
What are you yapping about? No one said that.
I had something like this happen with bugs
I had cleared a bug breach and then a charger blinked into existence, crush me to death and then disappear in the space of one second
It was very strange
You have seen nothing
>Ghost in the Shell
They really need some sound effects. In DRG you can hear an enemy screech and instantly know what and where it is. In this they walk as if they're fricking Tolkien elves.
Factory striders should sound like a steam train
Hulks should sound like AT-ATs
I can a charger about to send my ass through the geometry and it'll be whisper quiet, the sound design is fricked.
Agree with this. Even Left 4 dead did this with all special zombies making a sound so you know what's coming. Devestators and Hulks need to make their own distinct sounds.
This is bullshit. Cant remember how many times I'm dealing with a shitton of bots just to have a hulk torch my ass from behind
i can't believe they still allow enemies to spawn so close to you, i can say i've had a handful of encounters where a patrol just spawns literally in my view because i ran around a rock too quickly or something
>host game
>no one joins because matchmaking is a joke
This is why light armor is the only good armor type. It doesn't matter tanky you are, the game will just spawn in heavy units out of nowhere. Running away is sadly the only counterplay for this bullshit
>join, there's a russian or chinese
leave
>join, it's an eradication mission
leave
>join, it's 20 minutes in, no objective is cleared and they are down to 2 reinforces
leave
>Create my own game
No one joins
Suffering. I go through 5 groups at least before finding a minimum requirements one
What the frick are you playing where no one joins? I have 2-3 people join before i even walk to my hellpod most missions.
People join the first time I start the game. After one game, no one can join. It's been like this since release
Oh thats what you mean, only way I've found to fix that bullshit is kick everyone and change my settings to Local then back to global.
I've just been restarting the game, but maybe the settings trick works, I'll have to try.
Why dont you get some friends you fricking homosexual
Its weird how some people have lv 70+ and die a lot
Well there's no real punishment for a surplus of lives
Even though I'm level 70 I play like an aggressive moron and die a lot trying stupid shit because 90% of the time I still extract with a bunch of samples unless things are REALLY bad.
Tryharding and minmaxing in such an environment is silly and only reduces the amount of fun you have
Which armor is that, I need it for my Dark Trooper cosplay too.
Juggernaut
With the jetpack and black cape, it's pretty peak dark trooper
I think I have that, thank you fellow Dark Trooper. I hope to have a full team of DTs someday. I wish we could set lobby names.
>40 hours in
>have obtained enough credits to buy everything plus some extra armor
Why do people complain about it being a freemium game?
no no anon you don't get it if have to play the game to unlock features then you are goy cattle and not based
back in my day you didnt even have to play the game
>lying on the internet
where the frick are you morons supposedly getting 1000's of supercredits in 40 hours?
You need 3,000 to unlock each paid pack, but each contains 300, so the total cost is 2,100, and the main pack will easily get you a third of that, so you only need to find some 1,500.
Maps contain 15 credits on average, that's a hundred games, at 25 minutes per game you get 40 hours.
Questions?
You're a lying sack of shit, no further replies needed, thank you.
The numbers don't lie anon, I was precisely 41:25 hours in, I took this screenshot to note when exactly I finally bought the last pack.
You just need to focus on farming them ezpz
People who kick at extract deserve to be castrated.
The plasma scorcher kicks ass, what the frick. I should've started using this sooner.
Why do people call Eradication and Evacuation missions "defense"? The name is clearly written.
Also I hate how eradications have the same icon as blitz missions.
>sit in one spot and destroy wave after wave of enemies
>why is it called defence?
We may never know, anon. Truly a mystery for the ages.
Because you really only get them during defense campaigns
eradication missions are on both sides
oops
>moron walks towards my obvious non-impact grenade
>Blows up, gets pissy and leaves even with 17 lives left
And hulk blinding is still a thing
had a guy last night
level 70
(I'm level 30 both friends are 50s)
"about time I get some properly leveled people I'm tired of all the idiots playing this game" in mic
he demands hot drop
we hot drop because we don't give a shit
he instantly dies trying to fight 2 tanks head on literally at spawn
I reinforce him away from combat
he runs back in. dies.
I reinforce him away from combat.
he runs in. dies.
tells us we are bad and leaves.
man never even used a stratagem
Narcissists are moronic because they can't comprehend their own mistakes
don't look at the Steam DB chart
BOO!
Game is still doing great numbers. Eat shit
>purchase 100s upgrade for emplacements
>emplacements don’t arrive in -95s
In all honesty, what the frick is this upgrade supposed to do?
call-in time =/= drop time
So which part of the 100s between me calling in a minefield and the minefield deploying is getting reduced?
This part, yes it is dogshit, but I'm tired of people not being able to read.
I don’t read wikis. So why the frick is it -100s? Just say instantly or -3s.
rhetorical question
A lazy way for them to blanket remove that part of those gems or its future proofing.
It said "removes call-in time" before last patch. For some reason they had to change it, possibly for future-proofing, but what stratagem would have more than 100s call time? I don't see how you could ever need that clarification.
Without it, it takes a few seconds for the ship to fire the stratagem. With it, it fires instantly.
The pod still has to travel from the ship to the surface.
Ooh shit
Are you ready for Defense Wall and Airburst stratagems?
I thought it was AT mines for Choohe?
oh, I guess it could be the mines too. I hope so
>Caustic chemicals
Could it be the acid launcher instead? Doesn't sound like a rocket launcher
Also,
>Defense Wall
Lmao, dead on arrival. Who even approved this
https://twitter.com/helldivers2/status/1783831163317989858
Anti-Tank Mines and Airburst Rocket Launcher
Oh frick we have to choose?? Fricking Joel
Guess I'll go with mines, the airburst sounds like shit. It's situational as frick, and flyers never stay packed anyway.
I seriously doubt the devs expect us to get the anti-tank mines.
Either that or they're moronic/blind to the 3 weeks+ of b***hing about fire planets.
Good luck with that, there's nearly 10x the amount of players aiming for Penta (the airburst rocket). Even if the playerbase wanted the AT mines, nobody wants to liberate Menkent to get them.
If it makes you feel any better, the Airburst Rockert Launcher is basically a clusterbomb support weapon. it's best used on grounded enemies ironically enough
Stuff like turrets are "fortifications".
I checked, the only time "fortification" is mentioned is in the flavor text of the HMG Emplacement. In the modules, turrets are called sentries and minefields are called emplacement stratagems.
Not that it matters very much
dunno if it means anything but when you call down mines your character calls it a "fortification"
I will be killing bugs on Hellmire, let me know who wins.
I once came across a group of Hulks at a heavy base, which was destroyed. They were all stuck in place, doing that autistic melee animation where they slam down. They were doing it perfectly in sync, like some kind of weird autistic bot K-pop group. I should've taken a video, it was funny.
this is what happens with matchmaking. its easy to find someone so your teammates have no value to you. nobody wants to waste time with someone else who might not pull their own weight when you can just go find another, so the second theres any kind of tiny red flag they all just leave instantly because theres nothing awkward about rejecting someone who you never have to interact with at all ever again
enjoy having another fotm trash rotting away in your library
>nofriends trying to explain why a coop game is bad
a friend was trying to get me to buy this game but i could tell its just another FOTM game he would have abandoned (and already has despite having other friends to play it with)
I'm trans btw
i didnt buy it when i thought it would be fotm but its lasted way longer than even when i thought it was dying
I dont have this problem and when someone leaves another random join anyway

>hear "NOOOOOOOOO IT WAS MINE"
>kicked from game
I'm tempted to try servo armor, I saw a dude throw an eagle like 150m and land right on a bot factory, made me mire.
It’s the only armor trait I like besides extra padding. Useful in most situations.
Is there a single extra padding armor that's not the default one and that doesn't look like clown attire?
I think the Light Gunner set is fine, but no the default armor is simply unmatched aesthetically.
Light Gunner set
the color of the gloves and boots kinda ruin it for me, would’ve looked nicer black or a darker shade of brown
>black belt/brown shoes
is that bad? i dont have a dad
shoe and belt colors generally are supposed to match, at least for black/brown
you get more leeway with stuff like blue shoes or olive green belts
thanks anon
>light reddit set
This Reddit as an insult thing is getting out of control
This Reddit as reddit thing is reddit out of reddit
I simply refuse to to wear this set because not a single cape fits the color scheme. It's just looks ass with every cape because none of them are that shade of orange and brown. Same thing with most of the SC store armors. So hard to find a good cape for them. That why I mostly stick with the black and yellow stuff because they have enough capes to go with it.
If you havent, try out pic related with the default. works so well color scheme-wise
I've been wearing pic related forever, throwing shit far as frick as become natural, I can no longer use any other armor.
I'm unironically afraid of that so I don't use it. I don't want to have to relearn the distances every time I swap my armor.
>I don't want to have to relearn the distances every time I swap my armor.
You won't, because you'll never swap your armor ever again.
I have the same problem. I want to wear other good looking armor, but this is just too important to give up.
hey tyr whats up
It definitely feels nice. It actually makes me like bringing the 120mm.
>defense mission
>bring an ems mortar and a normal mortar
>just wipes out half the mission by itself
>wipe up anything large with eagle bombs and orbital lasers on top of that
GG
You can even make 4 sentries work if you bring autocannon and rocket and place them properly
Ems and normal mortar turrets and autocannon turret is my goto and then I select whatever stratagrm I need to take down stragglers that the rest of my squad didn’t select.
THANK YOU JOEL FOR PUTTING AA DEFENSES ON LESATH, I WANT YOU TO DECIDE FOR ME THAT I WANT AT MINES OVER A REALLY FRICKING COOL ROCKET LAUNCHER. ENJOY YOUR VACATION, SWEDES! SLAVA UKRAINI
those people need 9mm in the back of their heads!
Did they amp the difficulty? Yesterday I solo'd a mission on Helldive, today my bro squad got completely annihilated
From now on if someone disagrees with me I'm just gonna tell them my name again
Are you an airburst RL guy or an anti-tank mine guy?
i'm a menkent is the shittest planet in the game guy
I like my airburst strategem just fine so I'll lean towards AT. I just want to know if it AT will mess up BT or not
Is anti-air even necessary? Yeah flying enemies can be a b***h but they're tied to side objectives, meaning you have a useless strat slot the moment you take them out which could happen in the first few minutes.
It's not AA, it's airburst. Something like portable cluster strike. It kills pretty much everything except tanks and hulks(yes, chargers and titans get fricked)
380mm guy

I'm not playing with someone who doesn't even have half the shit to deal with diff 9 you idiot.
Bugs or bots?
bots
shitter like you shouldn't be playing 9 anyways, all you need is the autocannon or EAT and a level 19 can get those
I only play 9s and have never lost Black person
never playing with sub 20s either cry about it
>all you need is the autocannon or EAT and a level 19 can get those
Even if that was true, a level 19 wouldn't know that.
EATs is literally all you need.
Some of the most powerful shit is available by level 5-10
OPS and EAT are more than enough to deal with all of diff 9
Let me guess PC? The console community is way better
it stopped for me when i turned off crossplay and got rid of consolegays. same with a lot of other people.
Butthurt liar
you act just like how consolewomen are advertised.
why are there 60k Divers on the bug side? if 50k of them just came over to the Bot side we'd have our new toy super fast.
bot front bad
bot front dogshit
makes me think how badly the playerbase will be split up when the Squids come in. feels like the amount of Squid squishers will be smaller than even the Automaton Front fighters.
There needs to be an actual incentive to play against bots. They know they're getting the weapons anyway. I think bots are a lot of fun but bugs are just easier to grind. They should give you unique rewards based on if you're fighting bugs or bots. Make people actually play the game. I don't understand why you need to bump difficulty for super samples but you're also allowed to ignore half the game and get the same stuff.
>There needs to be an actual incentive to play against bots
I like bot music better.
bugs are for the normies
My first 100 hours played was entirely against bugs, but then I took the botpill and haven't looked back. I fear that after another like 200 hours of strictly bots I forgot how to fight bugs.
shitters absolutely cannot handle bots, it is hilarious to watch them try and fail, and even more hilarious to watch them cope about it in these threads
>Rare samples more common than common samples
I'm only ever bottlenecked by common samples, never rare or super. This shit is so stupid and be mitigated just by changing them to bot and bug samps instead so you can grind them easier depending on which planets you are fighting on. It even makes more narrative sense, why would you be getting the same samples from bugs and bots??
collecting samples just proves your dedication to the cause it's not needed to research the tech. The superdestroyer is already capable of everything, has all the stratagem equipment on board, etc. you're just unlocking permission to use it/ or install the equipment. So who cares whether its a bot common or a bug common
Bugs are the new creekers
>peak male autism fantasy
>why people moronic
Kek
frick off creeker
-Starship Troopers
-Promo material shows helldivers fighting bugs
-Intro movie shows helldivers fighting bugs
-Tutorial has players fighting bugs
Players then choose to go and fight bugs
The frick does the 0 even do up there in the cost part? It's meaningless.
They can't handle enemies that shoot back
Where are people actually seeing the stats or uses of the airburst and AT mines? Is it in the Discord? Or assumptions from the name alone?
they've been in the game files for a couple weeks, you can look up people using them on youtube
bots are so creepy with their distorted voices muttering.
Gonna play for the first time today probably alone and then with randoms once I'm more comfortable
Qrd on simple things to avoid doing?
Dying
Understood, thanks anon!
Bind stratagems to your arrow keys if you're on PC so you can run and use them. It's basically mandatory to play the game. If PS5, I don't know, I think they use the d-pad and reach over with their right thumb or something, every PS5 player I play with runs and activates them too.
Get used to diving a ton
You're squishier than you think
Always be on the move
Don't pick unnecessary fights (patrols, stationed enemies). If you do, good luck killing them all before they call backup
There's stealth mechanics, crouching/crawling actually work
If on PC, bind strats to arrow keys. I also recommend per weapon aim modes
>first time
Change your stratagem keybindings from WASD to your arrow keys, being able to move = not dying
Be bloodthirsty and get the frick in there, but know when to cut and run (when it gets overwhelming/too much)
Reinforce will become muscle memory
Aim for the heads & heat sinks
Q is to ping/commo rose, X is to drop equipment/samples
Randos will probably be morons up until difficulty 6ish, so don't get discouraged if you queue with mouthbreathers. At diff7+ I almost always roll good competent teammates
Have fun anon!
>4DGAY
The best way to play solo is to avoid every fight you can but go absolutely ham when you have to take one.
Stealth mechanics are mostly functional and mostly work the way that you would expect but do note that changing stances makes noise.
anon, you don't have to rebind your keys if you don't feel like it. Just hit the dive button and hit your buttons while you're headed for the ground. Literally every enemy in the game struggles hard to land a hit on you while you're diving. Rebinding works of course, I'm just saying it's nowhere near the huge advantage people seem to think it is.
>every enemy in the game struggles hard to land a hit on you while you're diving
man it often does not feel that way
Is light gunner the only light/extra padding armor?
Is there voice chat in this game or text chat? Do you have to talk to people?
There's both. Some will talk but plenty of randoms don't and it's not really necessary at lower difficulties, you can just ping and such.
thanks
>Is there voice chat in this game or text chat?
Both
>Do you have to talk to people?
No. Just ping things with Q and use the minimap pings.

I fricking hope to liberty it didnt just fall on the ground where I was standing
I want a lever action rifle, but I don't know if it's thematically appropriate, or even if it'd even be useful.
Someone explain what medium penetration even penetrates. It feels like it bounces off the same things that regular light penetration bounces off of.
It pens
>hive guards
>high diff spewers
>devastators
>strider joints
>tank/turret tower weakpoints
It can also destroy hulk limbs and factory strider miniguns.
anyone trying to make sense of the games armor pen system is hopped up on a lethal dose of cope.
Why the frick is armor pen: light, medium, and heavy in some aspects, then fricking 1-10 in others?
It's is 1-10 everywhere, light/medium/heavy pen is simplification from devs.
so is "medium" pen on a gun 4-7? is there a gun with the most medium pen at 7? and the least at 4?
or is this some dumfrick spaghetti code shit.
Yes, something like that. E.g primaries with medium pen can't penetrate hulk eye and will bounce off, but support weapons with medium pen can do that.
can the basic MG pen hulk eyes?
Idk, but heavy one can
would be nice to have that information in the game, so it's not a fricking guessing game like with
but I guess they thought paste eater normies couldn't count to 10?
All guns you fire have a penetration value 1 to 10
All enemies you fire at have an armor value 1 to 10.
If your penetration is higher than armor you do 100% of damage. If it's less you do 50. If penetration is too low, itll just bounce. Also each part you shoot at has damage reduction. IE a charger ass has no armor but has a ton of damage reduction so it doesnt matter what you shoot at it. Also none of this is explained in game by the way. Get fricked Black person.
There are five tiers of penetration for guns
>Light armor pen (Most primaries, Stalwart)
Can hit unarmored trash, and weakpoints on medium enemies like Devs or Hive Guards
>Medium armor pen (Medium pen primaries, normal MG)
Can penetrate armor on medium enemies
>Light vehicule armor pen (Autocannon, AMR, HMG)
Can damage Hulk eyes, Tank/Turret vents, and other similar weakspots, and break Scout Strider faceplates
>Vehicule armor pen (EAT, RR, Quasar, Unsafe Railgun)
Can hit any enemy
>Heavy vehicule armor pen (Spear)
Can destroy Fabricators from any angle
The remaining penetration tiers are used solely for stratagems and enemy buildings, with the Hellbomb/SEAF nuke being the only stratagems with max tier armor pen, and with the Gunship Fabricator being the only enemy with max tier armor.
there is also medium + which can pen more things like
>hulk visors
>scout strider shields
>shrieker nests
and seems to deal more (probably full) damage to the regular medium penetration things
>Hover over a bug planet
>Looks beautiful

I just want to see a normal sunny planet bros...
I'm really glad the community is going for the rocket launcher, it's one of my most wanted stratagems ever since it was leaked
Railgun is still good.
it is, but the AMR is just better for bots
Nah, it's shit. Worse than eat and autocannon in every way. Pretty much an AMR without zoomed scope and with reload every round
It's probably the worst support weapon in the game right now (not accounting for bugs).There is literally no reason to take it over its contemporaries. Even the laser cannon does its job better.
The laser cannon is absolute garbage. Takes ages to kill stuff while the railgun can one-shot almost everything.
>he dosen't know
sad
The laser cannon can effectively deal with everything the RG can and more, while being significantly more forgiving to use and more versatile in combat.
For the creek, redditdivers! Slava Ukraini! Let's liberate the Russian orcs with some democracy!
wrong site, homosexual. this is where all the racists come to talk about hell divers
>racists playing a reddit game
Oh so you're a fellow redditor too? Praise Joel!
>being racist is reddit
If that was true I could post HellBlack folk on reddit and the transmaxxing moderators wouldn't ban me
>coping this hard
Have some liber-tea... Black person
add fat helldivers
Then stop killing them and they won't leave.

No one will actually use any of those anyway.
Fr, at least can follow the blob and have an excuse to stay out of Menkent.
>Option 1:Anti tank mines that won't activate on players
Bro I hate to tell you this...
It's been leaked for weeks...
They activate on players and it takes 6 mines to kill ONE (1) hulk
Screw player activation thing, but 6 for 1 Hulk? It doesn't even throw that many of them.
Yeah these suck.
>he thinks leaked weapons perform how the leakers say
Remember when airburst launcher leaked and it could kill everything in one hit from any direction? They change things when it gets put into the game
On the same video these mines obliterate Factory Strider like it's nothing, now way it wouldn't be changed.
Devs test shit on the normal game morons. This is how leakers figured out the Quasar had its damage buffed before release.
People think it's for flyers but its air burst. It's an eruption on crack. As long as it autodetonates once it's near an enemy, people will love it.
wonder if it'll be any good against dropships
Does nothing. It is an eagle cluster strike that you carry on your bag. It's only good against enemies you can kill with cluster strike, which is everything except tanks, hulks, walking fabricators and towers. Titan and chargers are ok because they have soft spots.
oh well
are units carried by dropships vulnerable during travel? or are they invulnerable until they start dropping?
>Only good against flying blah blah
You must be moronic. Watch the following video: https://youtu.be/YTMifXTY0TY?si=jtF15oEgxdv9bwwx
Thx for the vid, what the frick is even his.
it's a handheld clusterbomb launcher, don't let arrowhead trick you into thinking it's only good for killing shriekers
>Can't kill a hulk the mine vs can kill a bile titan in two rockets
2: Some Airbust rockets support weapon that seem to be good only against flying bugs that are killed easly anyway and useless against everything else including gunships.
This isn't correct, I got my hands on it a couple days ago from a chinese hacker bro and I used it for a full match. It's a fricking amazing trash clearer, and definitely good against aerial targets, the only thing that sucks about it is how useless it is against armored stuff.
I don't want any of the new weapons or stratagems. I'm going to go fight the bugs instead.
how can I solo farm common samples real fast? I'm capped on the other ones and it feels bad
T3-4 missions. No bile titans, few charger, easy to do qieck, around ~20 max samples per mission
I keep trying to make good use of the hmg but god
there's just wayyy too many downsides
Finally someone reloads for me when I got the Spear. Feeling invincible against the BT tide.
I'm too scared to play with other people I don't know, I'm 31 and it still controls my life
Just do it, people generally care less than you think. If its because of VC, I've only ever encountered 1 person using it out of 100+ missions.
I've been doing exclusively randoms for almost a month and I've encountered like 1 person who spoke and it was just to say when a radar tower adjustment was done.
bro just mute everyone the moment you drop in. if a random HAS to communicate with you they'll just type it in.
lmao
lol even
90% of the times you'll be "communicating" with the other people via map or the spot marker. I've barely seen randoms typing LET ALONE using the mic, unless some moron forgot to change the "always on" setting.
It's a cooperative game at its foundation and people are less toxic than say the call of duty community. Of course you'll ran into try harder Black folk once in a while but they're an exception rather than general rule.
Why you care about other people? Next game team kill everyone and have fun nothing will change
Trying to do this major order on diff 9 sucks. So many morons its unreal. Did one campaign with a guy who was rank 34 running clusters on bots. Told him to cut it out as they're fricking useless. Next match hes running smokes instead. That says nothing of the morons which throw themselves into a pointless meatgrinder of an outpost, patrol, and bot drop just to die 3 times then leave.
>smoke slander
silence shitter
just do it man. i get the fear, especially since you're 25% of the team so it feels like all eyes are on you, but it's not that deep. you can communicate just with Q pings, dont even need to type. if you can hold your own, then you'll do fine with 3 others. this game fricking ROCKS when you have a squad of 4 dudes all covering each other and working in tandem.
swallow your fear for one match and dive in. you'll probably have fun
ty for your service
How to fix the spear, ("even incompetent devs can do it" edition)
>Add a dumbfire option to use it like an extra big RR with less total rockets
Only if it starts flying all over the place like a balloon that's been let go
The Spear has more problems then that. It's the fact that you not only have to fight with the shitty lock on, but it doesn't even one hit kill heavies reliably. This is horrible balancing considering how slow it is to use and the limited ammo. It's clearly balanced to be this anti heavy launcher that destroys everything but you better have good positioning and save those shots. High risk low reward type weapon when the other launchers does it job better and more easier
>*Comes flying at you*
>*Explodes and sets you on fire, killing you instantly*
I once snuck up on one of these in the dark and meleed them in the back.
I ragdolled and burned to death and it was very embarrassing.
>swarm of these fly fricks
>carefully take them out at a distance when able
>one dies, explodes
>one is launched towards me by the explosion that killed it
>explodes in front of me and gibs me
I really fricking wish they wouldn't set things on fire
The explosion and ragdoll is bad enough, but fire on top of it just makes it a guaranteed death as your character struggles to get up before you can dive
This motherfricker made me drop super samples when I was standing RIGHT NEXT TO the pelican for extract. Fricker.
Recently i played one match where I died like 30 times and this one guy was constantly respawning me. After we finished the mission and got to his ship he looked at me and gave me the hug emote.
Couldn't give a flying frick about the new stratagems tbh, I've been running supply pack + machine gun for maximum dakka since day dot and it won't change anytime soon
which gun?
I completed 3 bot dif 9 missions and i feel raped
Turrets and mines would be picked more if the CD was shorter. Why would I pick these if I can just call in my on demand quick use airstrike, rocket pod, laser, or rail cannon over them.
oh yeah, it's gaming time
>people are choosing the rocket launcher
The anti tank mines sound so much better what the frick
>takes 3 mines to kill one hulk
>assuming it walks along the correct path
>on a 2 minute CD when air strike can be dropped 3x in the same time frame
>there are 5 other hulks and 2 striders on your ass RIGHT NOW
Nah we need a fifth rocket launcher stratagem.
Who cares about mines.
They both sound underwhelming which is an adequate word to describe the entire arsenal. If the mines are on anything more then 90 seconds cd they will suck.
Did we get any video demo of the new stuff?
Yeah there is videos out there by the devs of what they do already. They both suck. Honestly devs should prioritize bugs then a full on weapon and stratagem rework/rebalance. Some options are just too fricking good. They shouldn't be nerfed too badly though, other options should be buffed so they're truly comparable.
The frick is a couple of mines going to do for you when you have an army up your ass chasing you? Mines are defensive tools, and Helldivers are pure offensive units. Skirmishers. I ratter just take another bombardment.
it might of been MEH tier if it had as many mines as the regular and incendiary. however with how little it lays out it's outright shit tier.
don't forget
>triggers when player steps on it
absolute trash
>another stratagem for clueless Black folk to teamkill with then be forgotten in like 3 days
waw
>*rubs tentacles*
My fellow citizens, we must allow the terminids and automatons in or super earth will not survive
Up right down down down
>play bugs
run around shooting blowing shit up diving out of explosions
>play bots
hide behind cover from rockets and play peekaboo
We should have a trench planet. It would actually be so terrible, but fun the first two or three times.
>new bot mission
>destroy orbital defense cannons
>whole map is a bot stronghold you have to claw your way through to disable the objectives
or how about
>new defense mission
>ww1 style defense-in-depth
>repel automaton invaders through multiple defensive lines
this one's kinda like the generator defense now i guess, but it'd be cool for it be more dynamic than the static mission we have.
>AA defenses on every planet we have to play on
guess I'll just not be doing the MO
>bro just like play the game without things haha you're skilled right
sick of these Black folk arguing in bad faith
Works on my machine.
it's just one stratagem. Drop the shield pack or consider not running two eagle strikes
I didn't want to admit it, but the base armor is the coolest looking one.
>tell someone his friend sucks (has died double digit times trying to recover like 6 common)
>kicked
>both were console shitters
You can remove me but you can't remove the truth. Also I had cross-play turned off before so what the frick swedeBlack folk
