I thought this but didn't even get a chance so have farmed metals using the free strategem and then tk the party caus they wanted this they said it would be a fun weapon they didnt want practical all weapons so I get paid and have fun all day cause democracy is rigged for us at the top
Yep, originally I was thinking we should go for the rocket as it’s another support toy to use but I tried it once when we could use it for free and immediately changed my mind after instantly killing myself with it. Surely the AT mines are coming at some point right guys?
Yeah? Imagine them on a difficutly 9 gate defense mission bro. Instead of anti-personnel we could've been using anit-tank. Get real bro. Do you even have a fricking brain
They take about 6 mines to kill a single hulk and it gives you even less mines than AP/Incendiary does. They are dogshit mines when mines are already bad.
Mine is already garbage on gate defense. You are better off with any turrets, any air strike, some of the orbital. Even the tesla tower is better than the minefield
Absolutely fricking not. It takes a Hulk walking through the ENTIRE diameter of the minefield and step on EVERY mine for it to die. It would literally be the most useless and downright detrimental stratagem in the game.
>allowed to shoot Hulk's arms off if you don't deplete its full health >can't cripple the frickers even though that would actually make mines more viable if you could damage legs enough
Why can't Strider crawl?
autocannon
eat
quasar is good for bugs because they spawn a literal frickton of heavy armor bugs that NEED to be taken out with AT so the ammo economy is actually required
every bot enemy can be finessed with an AC and, barring that, EATs are more reactive for those snap shots at dropships
Quasar is fine for bot. It still provides some extra utility on bot for the overall team that AMR/laser/AC/arc can't, as long as not all 4 players run Quasar.
it's not a bad weapon, not at all, it's fine to take it even on hot planets, idk what that other anon is yapping about
but I'd personally prefer an EAT or AC over it any day
>Quasar is fine for bot
yeah if 2 guys already have autocannons. There's too much medium armor to wait around for a recharge. It's easy to get staggered and miss, and the damage is nothing spectacular.
The AC is a lot more flexible. You should give as little ground as possible in every enemy encounter and the quasar just doesn't have the DPS to do that. If it was able to at least 1 shot hulks it would've been infinitely better. >some extra utility.
it's good against factory striders and that's about it. Not because it can deal damage to it easily but because it can one shot the head cannon, making it easy for someone with an AC to go under it and empty 5 rounds in it. But this is a perfect scenario so you can disregard it.
it's not a bad weapon, not at all, it's fine to take it even on hot planets, idk what that other anon is yapping about
but I'd personally prefer an EAT or AC over it any day
Hot or cold doesn't matter for the Quasar. The visual indicator stays longer in the red on hot planets but this doesn't prevent you from shooting the gun. Vice versa on cold planets. It's always 10 sec between the shots.
The swedes are just trying to trick you.
if you die to bots and you're out in the open not using cover tis a skissue.
if you die to bugs and you let one get close to you...tis a skissue.
if you die to squids and you didn't zerg/blitz rush them down...tis a skissue.
more of a pacing issue for bots
missiles one-shotting you randomly makes the game less fun
could i patiently peak until all the devs are dead? yes
it it fun? not in the slightest
i'd rather leapfrog with suppressing fire with a reasonable chance to dodge instant kill projectiles
which is what the game is like until you get randomly headshot
It's obnoxious that the devs are too amateur and incompetent to have any sort of cover affect the enemies. It's pretty ass that they have perfect vision through all fog, cloud, debris, and foliage. You would assume that visibility was a mechanic since they have smoke weapons but apparently that is just hard-coded accuracy modifiers that aren't attached to literally any other form of visibility impairment.
No, they definitely know how to make visibility work, or at least simulate it well enough. Blizzards and sandstorms do frick with enemy visibility as much as you'd expect them to. They just didn't give a frick about doing the same thing with ambient fog/dust.
>Slugger
Even if you hit all 60 of your shots every time you'll constantly have to be on the lookout for ammo on bug missions.
For bots, the damage fall off is harsh and you'd be better off using the dominator.
Railgun is really suboptimal. You can use it, but you have to use it on unsafe mode and it sucks shit against a lot of enemies, namely, Bile Titans and Tanks. When you compare it to the utility and versatility of an autocannon, or the raw power and on demand firepower of the recoilless/quasar/explosive anti tank, or just the fact the anti tank rifle exists now makes it really hard to find a use case for the Railgun.
The launchers can kill chargers, biles, hulks, and anything smaller in one shot. The laser cannon itself can kill any bot and has infinite ammo while mulching bugs especially fliers. Anti tank is pretty ass versus bugs but it's a solid side pick versus bots if you want a backpack weapon and don't want to take the EAT or quasar.
Laser cannon against bots is S tier and slept on >hulks?
Stun nade, head shot in a few seconds >tank?
Vent shot in a few seconds >attack ships?
Laser cannon kills them in a second aimed at the engine. > Turrets?
Snipe it from a mile away > Mortar?
Don't worry about hell bomb or the vents, Snipe it from a mile away >AA?
Don't worry about hell bomb or vents, Snipe it from a mile away >kill drop ships mission?

Kills the 2 gatlings almost instantly and will take it down if you focus the small eye on the head
What about the slugger? Just unlocked it.
Also just got the railgun. Is it still viable? I heard they nerfed it to shit.
It's a casual coop game, anything is viable, as long as you enjoy using a weapon/stratagem, it'll be useful. Of course there are weapons/stratagems more suited to one faction than the other (flamethrower for bugs, sniper for automatons). Just play with what is the most fun for you.
Otherwise, if you're lazy, play with what
>Best primary
Sickle, Scorcher, Dominator, Eruptor, and Fire shotgun for bugs. >Best sidearm
Uzi, grenade pistol, and revolver for bots >Best support
Auto cannon, sniper rifle, laser canon (bots), flamethrower (bugs), quasar, anti tank. >Best backpack
Shield, refill, laser rover (bugs) >Best nukes
eagle airstrike, laser, 500kg, and 380mm. >Best turret
EMS mortar, mortar, auto cannon
It's the "to be fair you have to have a really high IQ to understand Rick and Morty" of 2024. Either to sound superior because you understood the hecking complex themes or brought up with shit like say "dude you aren't meant to like Homelander dude he's evil and heckin drumpf"
What I don't understand is why Americans self insert into everything and always insist on looking at ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA from their toddler-tier political angle. Are they just too moronic to seperate fact from fiction? Why can't they into context and just enjoy a product for what it is?
Is it fun? Yes? >b-but what about muh nazi fascism hurr
Shut the frick up. Nobody cares. Go get snipped and suck israelite wiener like a good goy if it bothers you so much.
It's not even just Americans, you see it all over the place.
Fricking EVERYONE knows starship troopers is supposed to be satire, but most people also know it's a great movie about killing bugs in space.
frankly this. Its story is pretty funny to me. >Robert Heinlein details a satirical critique about militarism/imperialism in a futuristic setting >Someone decides it might make a good movie and make it >People walking out of the theater: "Pretty good, I liked the part where where they blew up that giant bug!" >Someone puts it in game format >Gamers: "GOTY this is awesome, I want a cape now."
Gets me chucklin'. It's the inverse of when someone tries to make something completely serious but an aspect turns the whole thing into a comedy.
Sounds like Idiocracy where there's a joke about the movie of the year being called ASS and it's just a guys ass on screen farting and the audience they hired to pretend to laugh actually found it funny.
It takes a stab at the US military industrial complex and imperialism. The whole concept is a lot closer to reality than people assume.
I mean Americans are useful idiots who get sent into meatgrinders under the pretense to fight for muh freedumbz when what they're really doing is getting raped in the ass by corporate rule.
You obviously have not read the book. The book is pro-military and pro-civic nationalism and not a satire at all. Heinlein wrote it as a response to US cutting down on nuke production or some shit, he was extremely pro-military.
>Robert Heinlein details a satirical critique about militarism/imperialism in a futuristic setting
Nah he was pretty serious about his take on it, the film was more of a piss take on Verhoven's part that ended up being really cool.

Look you can use the 380m it can do work (sometimes) and explosions are cool I get it. Just don't be a fricking moron with it.
I launch a 380/120 about 100/75m outside the extract point from the direction the bulk of resistance is coming from. Softens things up nicely before they threaten extract.
God I fricking hate the mindset some mouthbreathers have with the 380.
My fricking least favorite is when they declare "BROKEN ARROW! XD" and throw a 380 on themselves because they're being chased by like a bot drop/bug breach.
Best case all thats going to do is waste a life that they could have *tried* preserving, and in the worst case they'll waste multiple reinforces by clipping the entire team with their stupid AoE
I kick on the first instance of moronic 380 use, some of the morons like to use it on extract and I'm sick of it.
Ultimate team kill loadout >380 >Eagle cluster bombs >Airburst rocket launcher to finish off any stragglers and yourself
Why does this rocket launcher suck so bad? Sometimes it works perfect, but most of the time it blows up right in your fricking face with the clearest line of sight you can imagine. I even tried firing it from an elevated position.
7 is a nice balance between not easy enough to be boring and not heavy spam enough to be a chore. Always light for termites, depends how I feel for clankers but fortified is nice to prevent the majority of rocket oneshots.
7, ive yet to unlock level 9.
Mostly i use the light 30% throw armor, or medic armor.
Lately ive been using Recoil Reduction a lot, it made me like my beloved Autocannon even more
7 bots and 9 bugs
Medium explosive resistance/ recoil reduction bots
Light limb health bugs
Bug heavy spam is easier to handle than bot heavy spam because I can delete anything that comes out of the breach nigh instantly with my RR.
>Random uses it on beta testing grounds (Penta) >Kills me and 2 other squadmates in 1 shot in first 2 minutes of the mission >Random tells him to be more careful with that >"Nuh-uh, it's explosion, it works like it should." >Kick the moron
And from this point on I kick out everyone who uses it. I understand accidentals but I have no tolerance for motherless scumbags like that.
Really fricking sucks that theres a high likelihood it will be known as the Team-Killer 3000 owing to shitters using it horribly
It really has a run role harassing backlines/patrols/bases and serving as a messier RR
Hell its explosions penetrate a whole lot more than I was expecting them to!
>killed myself with airburst rocket launcher >saw 4 people kill themselves by the airburst rocket launcher >got killed by other people using the airburst rocket launcher
It follows how they do different reskins of the same armor. The default armor has different yellow patterns as separate pieces for some fricking reason
I used it literally once, tried to hit a botship but it missed and did absolutely nothing.
Then I saw it needed 40 seconds per reload and just dropped that piece of shit right there.
Team reload is a fricking meme in a game where all 4 players are not on the same screen within 3 meters of each other.
Fricking moronic pieces of shit swedes

no DRG barely has any cool weather/space phenomena modifiers like helldivers 2 >instakill space worm meter
lol wow the troony dwarf game is so much better bros
Is there any benefit to the individual player to put up with shit like this? I don't think major orders are enough. Maybe they should toss a little extra XP on it or something like upping the difficulty does.
>DRG modifiers >low gravity: walk at 1 miles per hour the hole mission with no exceptions >low oxygen: cant walk for 10 seconds on your own without refueling your oxygen supply from the mulebot

I haven't played DRG in over a year so I'm not shilling it. Your ground speed is not changed at all. And you aren't so floaty in low gravity that it's annoying to get down, you even keep your momentum so if you use something like dash you can get insane horizontal distance.

Exploder infestation is only difficult if you play like a moron. More often enough you just kill them and destroy half a wave with 5 bullets.
>you just kill them and destroy half a wave with 5 bullets
yes if you see them which doesnt always happen and when you hear them next to you its already too late to get away from their effective range. unless of course if you're a scout or if you have the dash.

Strat modifier is the only real issue here
It needs to instead jam 1 of the 4 stratagems brought in randomly, with it switching every 3-5 minutes
tbqh I do so much bots that the 4th slot is a flexing slot
Yeah, but each pass comes the good goy currency and you'll find more on mission. You should earn about a 1000 with each fully unlocked pass. The intial grind for the first 1000 is probably the most you have to grind for super credits.
It's entirely optional
t. have all the passes without paying a cent for the special currency
Each battle pass gives you 300 SSC, the remaining 700 is extremely easy to get through regular play. I’ve only done a little bit of farming (compared to anons who farmed like 20,000 SC), out of my 200 hrsI’ve spent maybe 2-3 hrs MAX farming and I’ve unlocked every pass and armour available in the shop so far
You got base Warbond (Battle pass) by default and premium Warbonds you unlock with 1000 premium currency each.
You get like 800 currency from base WB alone and then can find extra during missions. I didn't spend any extra money and earned enough of them to unlock all premium WBs.
You do get it in game . First warbond for instance will get you 750 just from unlocking it in progression, the other new warbonds get you 300 from progression, and you can get it in game from playing and finding it in the map.
There's a shop that sells two unique armour sets that rotates that also use credits which I've found I've never had enough for if I want a warbond.
If you're lucky you can get 70
If you're REALLY fricking lucky, 140
If you're not that or not cheating, 30.
You used to be able to walk out with 50 per match but they stealth nerfed the spawnrate into the Earth once they patched the SC farming.
Find a buddy and do lots of Tier One Diff missions. Buddy Bunkers net a lot of loot!
it'll take you at least 50 hours no not run like a headless chicken around the map anyway. You gave plenty of opportunities to get them just by playing the game. Not to mention the sample farming and even the medal farming that can't be avoided.

Premium currency can easily be acquired through regular gameplay and if you want to buy shit right now, you can dedicate some time farming the currency on lower difficulty maps with your friends.

>Eagle
Airstrike >Orbitals
As someone that plays with 2 orbital every mission I'd have to say Laser and Railcannon for bots/ 120 or walking barrages for bugs.
The laser is extremely versatile and you rarely feel likes you wasted one when you throw.
Don't know the exact damage numbers but I'm pretty sure the orbital precision strike has the same damage output as the Railcannon strike but it's trickier to aim. Before they shadow buffed the Hulk base speed it was easier to use.
Eagle Airstrike and Orbital Laser
If Rocket Pods had like 2 extra salvos so it had the same coverage asSstrafing Run it might take it, but it's too small. Railcannon might make look better than Laser but Laser has enough uses in a squad that it's not an issue and it's not limited to one target, plus it keeps the prioritization. If it only went for nearest targets and left priority to the Railcannon that might upset things.
You wanted it
You flooded Penta
We could have gotten AT Mines or Barbed Wire, but nooooooooo you had to have another fricking Support Weapon, a category that already has half a dozen top tier options

It's bad enough that they keep introducing moronic bugs, but it's fricking insane that they drop patches on Tuesdays and break everything and just leave it broken until the next Tuesday. Also the game was actually optimized really well initially and I was blown away by a game that didn't stutter for once but they make performance worse every single patch. My fricking 4080 can't even save this game at this point.
It is still crazy to me that they made an always online games a a service that couldn’t handle the server load for over two weeks. Complete and utterly incompetent engineers.
When I bought the game I got on early and was excited to get a feel for the game before my bro got on later. I ended up installing the entire game, and staring at the "retrying" screen for 2 hours until he got on, then I finally got into the tutorial and streamed it for him while he waited at the retrying screen. Then, when he finally got on too, we couldn't even play together for 2 more hours. Managed to be allowed to party up at like 1am that night and got two games in before we crashed out and couldn't log back in.
The crazy part is that the game is so good it kept me coming back and dealing with that bullshit.
Yea before the first patch was game was running smooth as silk and after the very first patch I noticed a huge performance drop. They really need to hire some savant coding consultant to come sort their shit out. They have enough money to afford it surely.

I guess maybe it's sort of OK against big bug groups but it's also just the literal worst weapon in the game. Waste of a backpack slot. Slow reload. All it does reliably is kill the user and his squad

They're unironically more useful for the team than AMRer's who spend their life reloading. Arc staggers annoying devastators/hulks so they can't shoot back and cleans trash well while consuming no supply.

You’re living in the past buddy. AMR fricks bots hard and it fricks the “hard” bots the hardest. One mag you can easily kill 4 or 5 devastators and hulks. Once you’ve shot your mags call down a new one with 6 more mags. Scorcher is a nice primary but a joke compared to the AMR.

It means the projectile doesn't do any damage. The radius of the explosion is big enough to hit the heat sink in the back even though you're hitting it somewhere else.

Kinda funny if the explosion happens upon impact but the bounce icon still shows (since it means the projectile didn't actually get deflected if it exploded on impact).
Also a bit lazy if the explosion is actually just a globe of damage and doesn't consider stuff being in the way (the explosion phases through the tank itself).

could've just said you're a low iq AMR user that never used anything else.
You can kill AA tanks frontally by shooting their turret.
You can kill tanks from the side by shooting the side part of the turret that's closer to the engine compartment.

No, scorcher + autocannon is the meta loadout for bots. Scorcher easily kills anything smaller than a dev, and works against devs in a pinch. The AC mulches heavies (including factory striders), kills fabs and turrets/tanks, and cucks gunships. It does basically everything the AMR does but better, and the scorcher is the highest QOL primary against bots to take the ammo pressure off the AC.

No autocannon is good too. So is the quasar, the laser, the spear, and a couple others. You’ll know you’re ascended when you’re only given 3 stratagems and you cut your support weapon because whatever you find on the map or scavenge from your dead teammates will be fine.

Me, an AMR main, always getting highest or second highest kill count almost every mission.
Why is the infinite grenade hack so common? Why that out of all of things? I just kicked a chink who was just spamming 20 rapid grenades at a hulk not knowing he wasn’t doing shit
I'm amused that every person with the grenade hack only ever uses impacts
no other fricking nade is worth bothering with
not even the fricking thermites even though the downside of needing 4+ to kill a charger doesnt even matter for someone with infinite nades
That's his alt. His main is Reverion, Vengeance Incarnate

Where are the samples on this map?
It says 17 but I extracted with zero. I ran around everywhere trying to find them.
Played solo on "easy" difficulty. I don't know how to check what the map name is called.
Say what? Thank you very much if that's true, sounds like you're pranking me
Samples are only in point of interests throughout the map like bases/bugholes, quest target, and minor POIs like storage containers. They only show up as things to pick up in the UI when you're within like 3m. You can still spot them further away, but if you're unfamiliar with how they look you have to get pretty close.
There are no points of interests on that map, it's a very small 15 minute map.
Hah, I knew it. Thanks.
Inside the buildings? Or inside vending machines?
Because I looked almost everywhere so unless all 17 samples are in the same place I should have seen at least one but there was zero.

The samples on that map are spread out. Best way to get them is to circle the outer edge of the map before starting the civilian extract but it's hard to coordinate the randoms to do that.
Aha, good to know. Is it like that on all maps (increase difficulty when doing all side POI)? I've just heard that once extraction becomes available the enemy spawn increases by x4.

It's not terrible, but most of the time the autocannon is just better. If it was better armored I think it would be better but things like tanks and hulks and biles usually just instantly kill it.

I had a dude with one of those. While apparently he did kill a few things including eggs, I still kept my distance.
At some point out of the corner of my screen I noticed how he had deleted himself a mate from the map.

Don't forget headshot fire damage from Hulks.
Trying to hit their nutsack sized head while they stomp at you setting everything on fire is fricking moronic.
It's hard to explain but there's a very specific movement cadence you can do with the rover that means you'll basically never take damage unless you stand totally still. You get better at it the more you use the dog.
>learn the sandwalk from DUNE to not get TK'd by your own item
nah I'd rather the devs just increase the height at which it flies at so there is less of a chance that it kills me
A few games ago I stepped on an icy rock on the ground. It was barely bigger than my knee.
This deed catapulted me outside the boundaries of the map into the icy ocean.
I had just enough time before drowning with my gear to see the traitor bombardment land next to me.
Why is it that super earth only has the budget to send down a 380mm barrage once per 240s but can immediately send down an infinite nonstop 380mm barrage at anytime the moment you step out of bounds for more than 10 seconds?
The galaxy is full of mysteries. How can I survive a glowing roborocket sending me on a 50m surprise cartwheel flight only to go to smoke a cig and totally dissolve into cinders in 400ms?
Been using the starter punisher shotgun for 27 levels now and I can't imagine how anything could be better. I even push back and kill devastators, 2 shot stalkers, 1 shot all small bugs or soldier bots from 100m. It's so good.
I like the airburst rocket launcher. Just needs a slight delay to arm time and be able to pass through light foliage without detonating and it would be perfect.
It's probably good for bugs, but debuting it on a bot campaign was probably the worst possible showcase they could have imagined for it, not even counting the broken proximity fuse interacting with how it's a jungle planet, just because how much more of the routine bot infantry can't be hurt by the airburst bombs than the bug infantry.

This is more fun than teamkilling.
I’m so fricking tired of shit weapons being added. Everytime I get excited for new weapons, 9/10 of them are absolute garbage with one being the most broken op piece of shit in the game like the quasar
You guys are such cry asses. There's already going to be a balance pass where I'm sure all the stuff you currently like is going to get dumpstered so you can use the flamethrower and blitzer on bots.
Are you guys ready for the most dogshit balance changes ever? I unironically believe this has the potential to kill the game if they make most of these ""changes"" just nerfs to the point of making the gun/stratagem unusable
The possibility of this being true is what makes it worse. They fricking nerfed the rate of fire on the HMG when everyone was shitting on how bad the gun is.
are they gonna barely buff the shit weapons and murder-nerf-frick the good weapons to be worse than the shit weapons so you can't kill a commissar or a regular little bug
I can’t wait for the weird changes they will make to guns that aren’t useable, and then claim they are buffed >railgun is barely used, so we gave it 5 more base ammo >nobody used blitzer either so we gave it a scope :*~~)
Honestly I am optimistic overall, but I expect some genuine head-scratchers of changes
>they confused the laser rover usage to the normal scythe >nerf scythe damage and increase heat gain on a shit primary that struggles to kill anything

>heart reactions
my estimate that 90% of humanity are not "people" with conscious thought and the ability for self-determination grows truer by the day.
There's no way they won't nerf the Eruptor/Sickle mags. I'm going to think they will nerf the scorcher already abysmal ammo efficiency down to a whopping 4 mags total.
Nerfs to Eruptor mags are kind of fine to be honest. I've been using it since the warbond came out and I've caught myself multiple times thinking "why the frick does this thing have 12 mags"
I never EVER even came close to running out of ammo.
Here's hoping they don't make it something stupid like 5 mags though
It's also good in a pinch for killing devastators if your support weapon is empty. It's just good at a lot of things if your support weapon is down for whatever reason. Not good enough to solo a base or anything, but good enough to keep you alive and manage a retreat.
They went on to say only 2 things are 'nerfed' and it's just magazine capacity. That they had to go on and say that shows you how much they are slowly waking up to the fact that having everyone be fricking traumatized that anything nice is going to get nerfed is not very good look.
Man, the Sickle was fun while it lasted.
I can see sickle getting mags reduced to 3 or something. I am worried they'll hit the MMG. At least they maybe understand now you need to give a shit load of buffs and not just a nerf (like when the railgun got hit) so that people have new toys to play with instead of >Thing you liked sucks dick now, deal with it
So if they can make the plasma shotgun good or the battle rifle adjucator or whatever it's called useful then I'll take a mag hit on the MMG or something.
There's no way they won't nerf the Eruptor/Sickle mags. I'm going to think they will nerf the scorcher already abysmal ammo efficiency down to a whopping 4 mags total.
That'd be beyond moronic given how much the 6 mags for the scorcher is exceedingly miserly.
>plasma shotgun
Is that the one that plops out a little blue ball with severe dropoff? It's the only weapon I couldn't make work for me no matter what I tried. Genuinely abysmal experience.
The drop is so fricking ridiculous with no reticle to help you aim it. I've seen people make it work but I don't want to aim at the fricking sky to hit a dude 20 meters away. It feels terrible.
>everyone be fricking traumatized that anything nice is going to get nerfed
That's because they're paranoid schizophrenics. There were what, 2 weapons nerfs? The slugger and railgun and when 30% of players were crutching on them maybe they had a point.
>players were crutching on them
No weapon is viable other than the autocannon in high difficulties, I advise the swedes to nerf the autocannon because players are crutching on them, also nerf the EAT by increasing cooldown time to twice the time, so they stop crutching on it too, and nerf the Quasar, people crutch too much, and the energy shield should be nerfed too, another crutch. Etc.
>Crutch >trashcannon >reddit laser >console babby shield
I mean...just admit you are bad at the game and no one will laugh at you broski. AMR and beam laser wipe the floor with bots if you take the gaysar or plinkcannon you are the trash i dunno what to say.
And if i see you in my 9 bot lobby with a pshield not the riot shield or support shield you are getting an instant kick.

man I can't wait for the batshit insane things they're rolling out like "Revolve now has full auto" and "introduced semi auto to laser cannon" with some fricking stupid fricking other nerfs and breaking a mechanic in the process. Still won't have aligned all the sights either.
It’s going to have the scope fixed. Scorcher is going to get nerfed to 4 mags and the air carrying my internet will be humming with seething nerds who were carried by that thing.
Why is it that bug planets are always crystal clear but bot planets are always covered in fog or some other bullshit that makes it impossible to see? Bots are the ones where aiming actually matters.
why are randos so fricking bad? I'm only lvl 8 but I get paired with people in their 20s who seem incapable of completing objectives and not dying every 30 seconds even on diff 5
Randos in every extremely popular game are usually bad because the average person is pretty dumb. Also, there's a good chance they're either literal children or stoned.
>everyone says going from bugs to bots is hell >can't stand bugs, love bot missions >can solo suicide mission bots, can barely scrape through challenging bugs
I don't get it.
Bugs are difficult if you don't know how to juke and jump. Bots are difficult if you think having any part of your body exposed during a fight for more than three seconds at a time is a good idea.
I think it's to discourage free-aiming because the insane recoil makes it nonviable.
No crosshair on machienguns is generally used in milsim games to discourage hipfiring rambo shit. But AH fricked it up here because even going prone with the HMG, the recoil is immense and unsuuable
>adjudicator versus defender >10% more damage >5% higher rof >half the magazine size >5x the recoil >two handed instead of one handed >medium armor pen 🙂
Most medium pen variant needs buff. The moron swede philosophy regarding med pen is all wrong.
You shouldn't lose so much damage AND have worse handling and ammo capacity to deal 20% more damage on like 10% of the specific enemy's spot in the game and 30% less damage everywhere else compared light pen weapons
For DMR, baseline diligence SHOULD be low med pen and countersnipe should be high med pen, and all dmr either need better handling/recoil or better base damage

We should have gone for the anti tank
I thought this but didn't even get a chance so have farmed metals using the free strategem and then tk the party caus they wanted this they said it would be a fun weapon they didnt want practical all weapons so I get paid and have fun all day cause democracy is rigged for us at the top
In English please
Yep, originally I was thinking we should go for the rocket as it’s another support toy to use but I tried it once when we could use it for free and immediately changed my mind after instantly killing myself with it. Surely the AT mines are coming at some point right guys?
mines would have been even worse, don't kid yourself
Yeah? Imagine them on a difficutly 9 gate defense mission bro. Instead of anti-personnel we could've been using anit-tank. Get real bro. Do you even have a fricking brain
They take about 6 mines to kill a single hulk and it gives you even less mines than AP/Incendiary does. They are dogshit mines when mines are already bad.
Mine is already garbage on gate defense. You are better off with any turrets, any air strike, some of the orbital. Even the tesla tower is better than the minefield
It would be really useful if it had either a fuse delay or a detonate-on-release trigger.
As it is, it's less than useless.
Absolutely fricking not. It takes a Hulk walking through the ENTIRE diameter of the minefield and step on EVERY mine for it to die. It would literally be the most useless and downright detrimental stratagem in the game.

Fair enough.
>t. Scorcher enjoyer
>Quasar
>on bot planets
At least you're on an extremely cold map lol
not him but what are you supposed to bring on bot planets?
autocannon
eat
quasar is good for bugs because they spawn a literal frickton of heavy armor bugs that NEED to be taken out with AT so the ammo economy is actually required
every bot enemy can be finessed with an AC and, barring that, EATs are more reactive for those snap shots at dropships
Quasar is fine for bot. It still provides some extra utility on bot for the overall team that AMR/laser/AC/arc can't, as long as not all 4 players run Quasar.
it's not a bad weapon, not at all, it's fine to take it even on hot planets, idk what that other anon is yapping about
but I'd personally prefer an EAT or AC over it any day
>Quasar is fine for bot
yeah if 2 guys already have autocannons. There's too much medium armor to wait around for a recharge. It's easy to get staggered and miss, and the damage is nothing spectacular.
The AC is a lot more flexible. You should give as little ground as possible in every enemy encounter and the quasar just doesn't have the DPS to do that. If it was able to at least 1 shot hulks it would've been infinitely better.
>some extra utility.
it's good against factory striders and that's about it. Not because it can deal damage to it easily but because it can one shot the head cannon, making it easy for someone with an AC to go under it and empty 5 rounds in it. But this is a perfect scenario so you can disregard it.
I want by shield comfort blanket though.
Autocannon or the laser cannon which can do everything the auto cannon can do but gives you a backpack slot free.
Hot or cold doesn't matter for the Quasar. The visual indicator stays longer in the red on hot planets but this doesn't prevent you from shooting the gun. Vice versa on cold planets. It's always 10 sec between the shots.
The swedes are just trying to trick you.
use the stratagèmes or get ÉLIMINÉ(E)
Frickin bullshit
>cannon shot out of the fog domes a helldiver
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
if you die to bots and you're out in the open not using cover tis a skissue.
if you die to bugs and you let one get close to you...tis a skissue.
if you die to squids and you didn't zerg/blitz rush them down...tis a skissue.
more of a pacing issue for bots
missiles one-shotting you randomly makes the game less fun
could i patiently peak until all the devs are dead? yes
it it fun? not in the slightest
i'd rather leapfrog with suppressing fire with a reasonable chance to dodge instant kill projectiles
which is what the game is like until you get randomly headshot
It's obnoxious that the devs are too amateur and incompetent to have any sort of cover affect the enemies. It's pretty ass that they have perfect vision through all fog, cloud, debris, and foliage. You would assume that visibility was a mechanic since they have smoke weapons but apparently that is just hard-coded accuracy modifiers that aren't attached to literally any other form of visibility impairment.
No, they definitely know how to make visibility work, or at least simulate it well enough. Blizzards and sandstorms do frick with enemy visibility as much as you'd expect them to. They just didn't give a frick about doing the same thing with ambient fog/dust.
Do blizzards affect them when they're aggroed? Or is it only for sneaking.
>not behind cover
You guys are so fricking dogshit at video games.
Snowstorms are the only low-visibility hindrance that actually looks good. Everything else is an insult to the playerbase.
What's the best and primary? Not finished the first battlepass because I haven't played that much but been using the liberator penetrator right now.
Depends on the use case and what you're fighting
>Best for bots:
Scorcher, sickle or dominator
>Best for bugs:
Sickle, dominator, breaker incendiary
I feel like 9/10 I've been fighting bots, but thanks anon.
What about the slugger? Just unlocked it.
Also just got the railgun. Is it still viable? I heard they nerfed it to shit.
I like the railgun for bots a lot. Don't see much use for bugs.
>Slugger
Even if you hit all 60 of your shots every time you'll constantly have to be on the lookout for ammo on bug missions.
For bots, the damage fall off is harsh and you'd be better off using the dominator.
The slugger went from the best gun in the game to literally worthless. Just use the punisher at this point. Rail gun is garbage as well
The slugger was great rip. I tried using it post nerf and it was so wimpy it’s sad.
Railgun is really suboptimal. You can use it, but you have to use it on unsafe mode and it sucks shit against a lot of enemies, namely, Bile Titans and Tanks. When you compare it to the utility and versatility of an autocannon, or the raw power and on demand firepower of the recoilless/quasar/explosive anti tank, or just the fact the anti tank rifle exists now makes it really hard to find a use case for the Railgun.
The launchers can kill chargers, biles, hulks, and anything smaller in one shot. The laser cannon itself can kill any bot and has infinite ammo while mulching bugs especially fliers. Anti tank is pretty ass versus bugs but it's a solid side pick versus bots if you want a backpack weapon and don't want to take the EAT or quasar.
>not using sickle on bugs
Enjoy getting raped by hunters
standard breaker is still the best bug weapon
Punisher is secretly the best bug weapon because it does more damage, staggers harder, and has more ammo.
it's a secret but you didnt spoiler it

It's a casual coop game, anything is viable, as long as you enjoy using a weapon/stratagem, it'll be useful. Of course there are weapons/stratagems more suited to one faction than the other (flamethrower for bugs, sniper for automatons). Just play with what is the most fun for you.
Otherwise, if you're lazy, play with what

Run the CS Sniper with the dagger and thermite grenades on Diff 9 bugs/bots if you really think that
Shit game only liked by those with no media literacy
Where did this recent trends of "muh media literacy" even start
moronic bloggers using it to describe how all the media other people like is actually about them and why they're the based chad cartoon
It's the "to be fair you have to have a really high IQ to understand Rick and Morty" of 2024. Either to sound superior because you understood the hecking complex themes or brought up with shit like say "dude you aren't meant to like Homelander dude he's evil and heckin drumpf"
What I don't understand is why Americans self insert into everything and always insist on looking at ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA from their toddler-tier political angle. Are they just too moronic to seperate fact from fiction? Why can't they into context and just enjoy a product for what it is?
Is it fun? Yes?
>b-but what about muh nazi fascism hurr
Shut the frick up. Nobody cares. Go get snipped and suck israelite wiener like a good goy if it bothers you so much.
they've been raised from birth to view absolutely everything through an us-vs-them political lens, because that makes them easy to control
It's not even just Americans, you see it all over the place.
Fricking EVERYONE knows starship troopers is supposed to be satire, but most people also know it's a great movie about killing bugs in space.
They're literal NPC's who can't think for themselves. They're just husks conditioned to repeat a narrative.
Homelander isn't meant to be trump idiot
The writers outright compared him to Trump.
The people working on the show fundamentally don't understand what The Boys is, whatever they say is worth less then nothing.
Butch did nothing wrong.
>bugs doing anti-colonalism

Gets me chucklin'. It's the inverse of when someone tries to make something completely serious but an aspect turns the whole thing into a comedy.
The book wasn't satirical, it was very down to earth and realistic/pragmatic.
Sounds like Idiocracy where there's a joke about the movie of the year being called ASS and it's just a guys ass on screen farting and the audience they hired to pretend to laugh actually found it funny.
It takes a stab at the US military industrial complex and imperialism. The whole concept is a lot closer to reality than people assume.
I mean Americans are useful idiots who get sent into meatgrinders under the pretense to fight for muh freedumbz when what they're really doing is getting raped in the ass by corporate rule.
You obviously have not read the book. The book is pro-military and pro-civic nationalism and not a satire at all. Heinlein wrote it as a response to US cutting down on nuke production or some shit, he was extremely pro-military.
>gets retconned into a satirical film
>mutts still seething over being the butt of a joke yet again
Based Verhoeven.
>Robert Heinlein details a satirical critique about militarism/imperialism in a futuristic setting
Nah he was pretty serious about his take on it, the film was more of a piss take on Verhoven's part that ended up being really cool.
It's bugged.

Look you can use the 380m it can do work (sometimes) and explosions are cool I get it. Just don't be a fricking moron with it.
380 for Large/Medium Bases
120 for Medium Bases
Airstrike for Small/Medium/AA/Mortar Bases
Laser for emergencies
I see you using any of these for anything else - you're on thin ice.
I see you doing the above AND teamkilling - kicked.
throw an airstrike before the bots are thrown off the drop ship and it will kill everyone
I launch a 380/120 about 100/75m outside the extract point from the direction the bulk of resistance is coming from. Softens things up nicely before they threaten extract.
God I fricking hate the mindset some mouthbreathers have with the 380.
My fricking least favorite is when they declare "BROKEN ARROW! XD" and throw a 380 on themselves because they're being chased by like a bot drop/bug breach.
Best case all thats going to do is waste a life that they could have *tried* preserving, and in the worst case they'll waste multiple reinforces by clipping the entire team with their stupid AoE
I kick on the first instance of moronic 380 use, some of the morons like to use it on extract and I'm sick of it.
Lighten up pussy
How about you stop teamkilling with the 380?
It really aint that hard homosexual.
Ultimate team kill loadout
>380
>Eagle cluster bombs
>Airburst rocket launcher to finish off any stragglers and yourself
Why does this rocket launcher suck so bad? Sometimes it works perfect, but most of the time it blows up right in your fricking face with the clearest line of sight you can imagine. I even tried firing it from an elevated position.
it's like the spear you gotta pray to the machine spirit
What difficulty do you normally play on? Do you normally wear light, medium or heavy armour?
7 is a nice balance between not easy enough to be boring and not heavy spam enough to be a chore. Always light for termites, depends how I feel for clankers but fortified is nice to prevent the majority of rocket oneshots.
9
I wear the default helldiver armor, the 150 defense probably helps but I can't tell because I've never dived with anything else
9
Light Medic everytime, unless it's defense where I pick any heavy I feel like having.
level 7 always and forever. Below is too challenging, above is a mad dash of endless enemies with no room to breathe and crazy butthole players.
Use Scorcher, medium armor with 6 stims, quasar, shield pack, orbital laser, and eagle strike vs. bots
Use eruptor, same armor, quasar, guard dog rover, orbital laser, cluster bombs vs. bugs
below is too unchallenging*
9
Heavy armor for bots
light armor for bugs
7, ive yet to unlock level 9.
Mostly i use the light 30% throw armor, or medic armor.
Lately ive been using Recoil Reduction a lot, it made me like my beloved Autocannon even more
7 bots and 9 bugs
Medium explosive resistance/ recoil reduction bots
Light limb health bugs
Bug heavy spam is easier to handle than bot heavy spam because I can delete anything that comes out of the breach nigh instantly with my RR.
usually 8. i use the medium medic from twitch cause it's the only medic armor that looks decent.
7-9 depending on my mood. Always use light gunner armor.
>light gunner
Hell yeah. I haven't switched from light gunner since I got it like week 4 of the game
9
Light explosive resistant against bots, medium medic for bugs
>Random uses it on beta testing grounds (Penta)
>Kills me and 2 other squadmates in 1 shot in first 2 minutes of the mission

>Kick the moron
And from this point on I kick out everyone who uses it. I understand accidentals but I have no tolerance for motherless scumbags like that.
Really fricking sucks that theres a high likelihood it will be known as the Team-Killer 3000 owing to shitters using it horribly
It really has a run role harassing backlines/patrols/bases and serving as a messier RR
Hell its explosions penetrate a whole lot more than I was expecting them to!
in the last 24 hours I

Another glorious day in the super corps.
Is the last stratagem in Robotics dlc? only have 7/8 bought
it's been bugged like that for months
It's a UI bug, there are no stratagems in the warbonds.
shaders when??
are they planning to add all these?
It follows how they do different reskins of the same armor. The default armor has different yellow patterns as separate pieces for some fricking reason
I need more enemy variety
Getting bored of fighting the same stuff already
>Breach-Calling Stalker
>that off-brand lurker
Love it.
>impaler
Holy shit I forgot about that piece of shit, it can rot in data hell.
>first time firing the thing
>bursts as the rocket is fired and obliterate entire team
I used it literally once, tried to hit a botship but it missed and did absolutely nothing.
Then I saw it needed 40 seconds per reload and just dropped that piece of shit right there.
Team reload is a fricking meme in a game where all 4 players are not on the same screen within 3 meters of each other.
Fricking moronic pieces of shit swedes
>can't create openings
>doesnt know how to use teammates as covering fire
lole I guess the only backpack weapon you use is the AC then?
railBlack person maybe?
Thanks swedes, you truly know how to make fun modifiers.
In all seriousness, learn a thing or two from DRG.
>desperate attempt at starting a flame war between Helldivers and DRG
cringe
>desperate attempt at starting a flame war between Helldivers and DRG
lmao what, HD2 has much better things, but DRG has much better modifiers for missions, some are cancer but some a 100% positive, hell I'll take rich atmosphere any day of the week, with bugs buffed and all.
no DRG barely has any cool weather/space phenomena modifiers like helldivers 2
>instakill space worm meter
lol wow the troony dwarf game is so much better bros
>Helldivers and DRG
>One has absolute morons playing it in every match, the other has only had absolute bro's playing it everytime
These two are not even remotely comparable. Even the worst scout player has stellar IQ compared to the room temperature IQ of helldivers players.
Is there any benefit to the individual player to put up with shit like this? I don't think major orders are enough. Maybe they should toss a little extra XP on it or something like upping the difficulty does.
>DRG modifiers
>low gravity: walk at 1 miles per hour the hole mission with no exceptions
>low oxygen: cant walk for 10 seconds on your own without refueling your oxygen supply from the mulebot
wow so much fun
???low gravity is basically better jump. And you have minute+ of oxygen not 10 seconds.
>low gravity is basically better jump
yeah and it makes you slow as shit you moron
>you have one minute of oxygen
how is it fun? its literally just a hassle
Different anon here, low gravity does not make you slower in DRG, it's 100% an upside.
stop gaslighting me DRG shills, your speed is definitely halved and jumping keeps you airborne for like 8 seconds
I haven't played DRG in over a year so I'm not shilling it. Your ground speed is not changed at all. And you aren't so floaty in low gravity that it's annoying to get down, you even keep your momentum so if you use something like dash you can get insane horizontal distance.
i have 300 hours in that game and i can tell you right now that it does make you slower
>And you aren't so floaty in low gravity that it's annoying to get down
okay now you're literally lying and i also like how you arent even willing to defend the O2 modifier lol
I already said I wasn't the anon that brought up DRG, low oxygen sucks ass. But you're wrong about low gravity. Simple as that. I'm done talking about it though.
>DRG, low oxygen sucks ass
wtf but the other anon told me DRG has superior modifiers... DRG shills im starting to think your dead game (lol no update in 2 years) isnt that good after all
>omg wtf that game has 1 (2 because ghost sucks aswell) unfun modifiers that means that its ok when all of helldivers modifiers make the game less enjoyable!
>1 (one) unfun modifiers
okay lets see
>ghost: giant mob you cant kill that follows you around everywhere and can oneshot you
>covid outbreak: killing any enemy in the game creates a gas that kills you instantly if you stand in it for too long
>low oxygen: cant survive for long without running to the mule
>shield disruption: die in 3 hits
>exploder infestation: oneshot suicide bombers spawn behind you before you can even see them
thats 5 (five) unfun modifiers you lying shill, and the rest are kinda meh at best
>instantly
>stand in it too long
anon. please. again. with neurons.
>instantly
>stand in it too long
okay allows me to explain:
1. you stand in the gas
2. the meter goes up
3. meter is full
4. your health doesnt go down gradually, it instead all goes down at once
>NO THATS NOT INSTANTANEOUS
wow anon you are very smart! but you see i never said the gas building up is instantaneous, i said that you instantly die once the gas builds up. think of it as a turret charging up before it kills you in one shot.
>you just kill them and destroy half a wave with 5 bullets
yes if you see them which doesnt always happen and when you hear them next to you its already too late to get away from their effective range. unless of course if you're a scout or if you have the dash.
>yes if you see them which doesnt always happen and when you hear them next to you its already too late to get away from their effective range. unless of course if you're a scout or if you have the dash.
Is this Black person for real? People actually have trouble with exploders? Ever? Lmao WTF? Drg is a cake walk on all haz levels, everything is telegraphed from a mile away, exploders are like the least threatening enemy in the entire fricking game.
>everything is telegraphed
why does it matter if i cant see it moron? i can hear the sound of the explosion beginning to happen but as i said it takes too long to get out of its effective range
That just not true though. They take forever to explode and any dwarf can walk out of range. But how are you even letting them get so close? You HAVE GOT to be some tunnel vision moron or something lmao
>But how are you even letting them get so close?
fun fact: theres confined spaces in this game
>They take forever to explode
what is this desperate attempt to push the goalpost? lets exclude the exploder infestation so the list fits your personal taste, theres still 4 absolute garbage modifiers in the game thats supposed to have better modifiers than HD2
moronic mongrel mudblood wants the game changed because he's too stupid to avoid the weakest enemy in the game. Bigly sad.
>waaa Black person Black person Black person
yeah okay go back to receiving 0 (zero) updated in your gay finnish game with an integrated discord feature
remember when the DRG devs put a troony furgay's avatar into the fricking game? thats who you're supporting lmao
>filtered by the cozy laid back dwarf game
Hahaha mald.
okay but do you remember when they put a trans furry's discord avatar into the game? why are you avoiding inconvenient information, shill?
I literally have no idea what you're autistically going on about over and over. I don't give a frick about a discord server for an individual game lmao. No dlidea what moronic shit you're talking about. I can only assume they used a profile pic on the little TV screens that nobody pays attention to and that somehow mindbroke you lmaoooooooooo
>zoomer speak
lol
>I don't give a frick about a discord server for an individual game
thats a shame because all the ideas for new features in Deep Rock Galactic come from morons in the discord LOL
>I can only assume they used a profile pic on the little TV screens
yes during june last year they put a troony furgay's avatar in all of the displays to celebrate pride month. showing a pride flag is one thing but they put a trans furry's OC in the fricking game LOL.
DRG players are KEKS
>seething this hard because you can't stop jobbing to exploders
truly embarrassing lmfao
>most basic garbage enemy around kills him because he's a tunnel visioning deaf moron
>literally ruins his entire life
>theres only 2 unfun modifiers
>no theres 5
this is where the discussion started and now you're ranting about how easy the exploders are. its insane how far you homosexuals to go hide the flaws in your shitty game
>ok the exploder infestation is a good modifier
whats your response now shill? theres still 4 modifiers left that i listed that youve been avoiding like the fricking plague. this is so pathetic lol
jesus fricking christ these shitty embracer devs are out of their minds
Ok
a quick google search is all you had to do
I'd like to remind everyone that Ghost Ship Games removed the voice line, "die like your mother did," because a poster on Reddit said this voice line reminded him of his dead mother.
Then the Steam forum jannies, who were hired by the developers, went on a massive banning spree, getting rid of anyone that criticized their decision. Despite the fact that they were openly insulting paying customers left and right, all of them kept their positions in the Discord and the forums.
Why would you support these homosexuals after this? Holy shit kek.
That panel just randomly picks a discord profile to show ingame. You really gonna have a hissy fit over that? Fricking election tourists.
you have no clue what you are talking about
Exploder infestation is only difficult if you play like a moron. More often enough you just kill them and destroy half a wave with 5 bullets.
Strat modifier is the only real issue here
It needs to instead jam 1 of the 4 stratagems brought in randomly, with it switching every 3-5 minutes
tbqh I do so much bots that the 4th slot is a flexing slot
How does this games battle pass work? If I unlock all the base game stuff I move onto the next section, and buying it just gives me access right away?
No. Each warbond beyond the basic one costs super credits
So you do have to pay for each battle pass then, game looks alright but I'm not playing piecemeal for more shit to use.
The premium currency is farmable through regular play
Basically it's just premium content for casuals
Yeah, but each pass comes the good goy currency and you'll find more on mission. You should earn about a 1000 with each fully unlocked pass. The intial grind for the first 1000 is probably the most you have to grind for super credits.
How much would you get in say 1 match
If you're lucky you can get 70
If you're REALLY fricking lucky, 140
If you're not that or not cheating, 30.
You used to be able to walk out with 50 per match but they stealth nerfed the spawnrate into the Earth once they patched the SC farming.
Find a buddy and do lots of Tier One Diff missions. Buddy Bunkers net a lot of loot!
it'll take you at least 50 hours no not run like a headless chicken around the map anyway. You gave plenty of opportunities to get them just by playing the game. Not to mention the sample farming and even the medal farming that can't be avoided.
It's entirely optional
t. have all the passes without paying a cent for the special currency
Each battle pass gives you 300 SSC, the remaining 700 is extremely easy to get through regular play. I’ve only done a little bit of farming (compared to anons who farmed like 20,000 SC), out of my 200 hrsI’ve spent maybe 2-3 hrs MAX farming and I’ve unlocked every pass and armour available in the shop so far
forgot that it’s more like 150 hrs of actual gameplay as I was one of the Black folk afking when that was a thing
You do get it in game . First warbond for instance will get you 750 just from unlocking it in progression, the other new warbonds get you 300 from progression, and you can get it in game from playing and finding it in the map.
There's a shop that sells two unique armour sets that rotates that also use credits which I've found I've never had enough for if I want a warbond.
I got two out of the three premium warbonds unlocked with the last one well on its way and I haven't spent a penny on either of those. I didn't buy the game either as my mate gifted it to me.
Premium currency can easily be acquired through regular gameplay and if you want to buy shit right now, you can dedicate some time farming the currency on lower difficulty maps with your friends.
>you buy access to a battle pass
>the battle pass doesnt expire
>you need to spend a certain amount of medals each tier to unlock the next one
You can buy it anytime with the in game premium currency.
it's not time limited
You got base Warbond (Battle pass) by default and premium Warbonds you unlock with 1000 premium currency each.
You get like 800 currency from base WB alone and then can find extra during missions. I didn't spend any extra money and earned enough of them to unlock all premium WBs.
>military sci-fi

What is objectively the best orbital and eagle?
Eagle Airstrike and Orbital either Laser or Railcannon depending on your preference
best orbital: airburst or 120mm
best eagles: 500kg or airstrike
500KG has the AOE of goddamn grenade
>500kg has the AOE of goddamn grenade
It surely feels like that.
>Hit deadcenter a large group of bugs
>Little bugs still emerge from the flames
I was landed 3 meters away from a Hellbomb as it blew up.
I got a bit of a tan.
Eagle is easy, it’s the basic Airstrike no contest. Orbitals are harder but it’s either the Railcannon or the Laser
>Eagle
Airstrike
>Orbitals
As someone that plays with 2 orbital every mission I'd have to say Laser and Railcannon for bots/ 120 or walking barrages for bugs.
The laser is extremely versatile and you rarely feel likes you wasted one when you throw.
Don't know the exact damage numbers but I'm pretty sure the orbital precision strike has the same damage output as the Railcannon strike but it's trickier to aim. Before they shadow buffed the Hulk base speed it was easier to use.
>Before they shadow buffed the Hulk base speed it was easier to use.
I KNEW IT
SO I WASN'T JUST IMAGINING THINGS AND DIDN'T GET SECRETLY SHIT
Precision is way more damage than railstrike I think
Eagle Airstrike and Orbital Laser
If Rocket Pods had like 2 extra salvos so it had the same coverage asSstrafing Run it might take it, but it's too small. Railcannon might make look better than Laser but Laser has enough uses in a squad that it's not an issue and it's not limited to one target, plus it keeps the prioritization. If it only went for nearest targets and left priority to the Railcannon that might upset things.
I never used the machine gun turret. What is the advantage of it over the gatling one?
It wastes all it bullets on armored targets slower than the gattling.
You wanted it
You flooded Penta
We could have gotten AT Mines or Barbed Wire, but nooooooooo you had to have another fricking Support Weapon, a category that already has half a dozen top tier options
YOU GET WHAT YOU FRICKING DESERVE
AT mine would still be worse than the airburst. All mines are garbage due to the ridiculous cd.
>funny team kill weapon vs useless
The right decision was made.
Both of theses options are straigh ass.
Someone said that the AT mines weren't going to be on 90 seconds cd and that was the only thing that makes mines worth to even think about putting them in your loadout.
We need more guaranteed fire power. Every thing feels underwhelming.

Why the frick aren't there positive modifiers for defense planets? It's a planet under super earth control. Maybe artillery strikes, or hell even just a stratagem related to the planet (just make up some bull shit lore, this planet produces X for super earth) for free.
are you fricking moronic? you get a free stratagem without taking up a slot
>positive modifiers
you literally said you wanted a free stratagem you butthole. stop shifting the goalpost
Yes Black person, that is a positive modifier that would incentivize players to play defend missions. That's the whole point.
modifiers
what do you mean? We had free 110 eagle rockets 2 week ago as a global modifier for example. But they should be more prevalent, yes you are right in that regard.
Mtx and season pass stuff are bad game design which turns playing a game into work.
should I feel bad for actually liking the crossbow
I love using it on the tower defense/eradicate maps it's fun
Yeah, feel bad for liking what you like to use.
No, you using non-meta weapons means you aren't having fun!
Its the Scorcher, Sickle, or Dominator otherwise you basically aren't bringing a primary!
For real though a lot of anons simply don't know how to work non-meta guns into builds, if anything you using it is evidence you aren't a total shitter
Scavenger bros, how does taking no support weapon and just living off the land with whatever you find treat you?
I just ask for something from a team member. Chances are someone has a good support weapon or backpack I want.

Just another reason owning something on one platform should be sufficient to play it on all compatible platforms. There is literally no reason I should have to link a PSN account when the game is already tied to DRM like Steam, and I am not creating a new email address just to put up with Sony's homosexualry going forward.
Might give Helldivers 3 a try after Sony goes out of business due to being run by morons.
>forced PSN linkage
You are not forced you fricking moron. Just say no. I swear the only people that complain about this are the same morons that always click I agree to everything put in front of them.
t. hypocritcal nonreader
I will admit that is misleading, but I got 100 hours into the game and never linked it.
If you refuse you just cant crossplay.
I refused and I can still crossplay
I never linked it, and I can play with my Playstation friends.
Lol not required numb nuts
I linked mine during a buggy period where I couldnt accept friend requests, but it was a pain to get started and didnt even fix it (bug was fixed pretty quickly thoughsoever)

You literally can't drop without selecting stats, only boosters, so you got filtered by a display glitch that's already been acknowledged. Brainlet moron.
>yet another bug
Fricking hate these devs. Worse than Indian programmers
It's bad enough that they keep introducing moronic bugs, but it's fricking insane that they drop patches on Tuesdays and break everything and just leave it broken until the next Tuesday. Also the game was actually optimized really well initially and I was blown away by a game that didn't stutter for once but they make performance worse every single patch. My fricking 4080 can't even save this game at this point.
It is still crazy to me that they made an always online games a a service that couldn’t handle the server load for over two weeks. Complete and utterly incompetent engineers.
When I bought the game I got on early and was excited to get a feel for the game before my bro got on later. I ended up installing the entire game, and staring at the "retrying" screen for 2 hours until he got on, then I finally got into the tutorial and streamed it for him while he waited at the retrying screen. Then, when he finally got on too, we couldn't even play together for 2 more hours. Managed to be allowed to party up at like 1am that night and got two games in before we crashed out and couldn't log back in.
The crazy part is that the game is so good it kept me coming back and dealing with that bullshit.
Yea before the first patch was game was running smooth as silk and after the very first patch I noticed a huge performance drop. They really need to hire some savant coding consultant to come sort their shit out. They have enough money to afford it surely.

I mean it's funny when it happens once but it got old real fricking fast. The airburst is going to be a kick on sight from now on.
Im having more fun in diff 7 than diff 9... What went wrong
Haz7 is "casual for nonbads". It's still a challenge but it's not sweaty af try hard mode.
Pretty much. I do 7s for average fricking around and 9s if I feel extra shooty. I don't think I've ever run 8s beyond the few to unlock 9 though.
diff 8 is borderline "enjoyable" and diff 9 is for masochistic tryhards

Which is worse an Arc Thrower Helldiver or a Airburst Rocket Launcher Helldiver?
arc thrower can teamkill on demand every time you need it to
airburst gets like 6 teamkills and a horrid cooldown between reloads
>trash talking arc thrower
Literally S tier weapon with that one ship module. It just has a higher skill ceiling than the dumb hold'n'fire quasar cannon.
I've finished countless games with 0 FF/0 accidentals using it. You gotta be >50iq not to fire when a friendly is stadning right behind an enemy.
it's still objectively worse than the new Airburst launcher. can't even deal with Titans, Tanks, and Factory Striders.
airburst is really good at killing its user thoughever
can the airburst?
I thought it was just a pocket cluster airstrike
No, that guy is a moron. It does no damage to medium armor and up.
I figured
I mean I still wouldn't use it because it's literally built for teamkilling but
maybe it's good vs bugs?
I guess maybe it's sort of OK against big bug groups but it's also just the literal worst weapon in the game. Waste of a backpack slot. Slow reload. All it does reliably is kill the user and his squad
Arc thrower is trash. Literally only moronic drooling homunculus critters use it
t. negative iq quasar cannon user
Quasar is gay. I'm either AMR on bots or stalwart on bugs. And I CAN and DO kick anyone who brings an arc thrower or blitzer into my game.
Using AMR on bots changed my life
>AMR
based
>kick anyone who brings an arc thrower
cringe
I actually rarely kick people. Usually have to be a real mega moronic scumfrick for me to kick them.
blitzer is sadly understandable. I want them to buff it so bad
>blitzer
I've seen literally NOBODY use this, not a single random. This is the trashiest premium weapon you can ever get.
>AMR
Consume team's entire supply while performing worse than a scorcher, the stratagem
>kick arc throwerers
They're unironically more useful for the team than AMRer's who spend their life reloading. Arc staggers annoying devastators/hulks so they can't shoot back and cleans trash well while consuming no supply.
>>AMR
>Consume team's entire supply while performing worse than a scorcher, the stratagem
lotta words for "i can't aim"
>lotta words for "i can't aim
Ah yes the misaligned scope AMR 1337 users are a special kind.
What you've described is basically Scorcher.
>Scorcher is a nice primary but a joke compared to the AMR.
Right cause with Scorcher, I can
>Kill AA tanks frontally
>Kill normal tanks from the side
>Kill gunships
>Vaporize trash swarms in a single mag
While costing 0 stratagems. Also a single supply box refills my ammo.
>Kill AA tanks frontally
>Kill normal tanks from the side
>Just making shit up to try and justify his moronation
Not the guy you're arguing with but you can absolutely kill tanks with the scorcher. It does AoE explosive damage.
Yeah in the vents, not the side. Also the guys a moronic Black person, he can't aim with the AMR and complains about ammo then shoots 6 gorillion shots at a tank and wastes all his primary ammo and then brags. Utterly mongoloidish
You can hit the vents from the side. You can even see it in the webm.
moron gorilla monkey, you can clearly see in the webm the guy shoots the side turret and blows it up.
If I ever see an AMR shitter in the higher levels taking more than 1 supply box, he'll get the kick before extraction treatment. morons can't deal with swarms cause mom look i'm a sniper xd
I thought there was no damage at all when the "bounce" icon showed.
It means the projectile doesn't do any damage. The radius of the explosion is big enough to hit the heat sink in the back even though you're hitting it somewhere else.
Kinda funny if the explosion happens upon impact but the bounce icon still shows (since it means the projectile didn't actually get deflected if it exploded on impact).
Also a bit lazy if the explosion is actually just a globe of damage and doesn't consider stuff being in the way (the explosion phases through the tank itself).
could've just said you're a low iq AMR user that never used anything else.
You can kill AA tanks frontally by shooting their turret.
You can kill tanks from the side by shooting the side part of the turret that's closer to the engine compartment.
>AMR kills most enemies with 1-2 shots
>Scorcher has to use 1-2 mags
Literally the only thing the scorcher is better at is killing striders. You should be using the sickle though.
>striders
not even that. Three shots with it. 2 with the AMR
am i moronic and gay for using the scorcher and the auto cannon?
No, scorcher + autocannon is the meta loadout for bots. Scorcher easily kills anything smaller than a dev, and works against devs in a pinch. The AC mulches heavies (including factory striders), kills fabs and turrets/tanks, and cucks gunships. It does basically everything the AMR does but better, and the scorcher is the highest QOL primary against bots to take the ammo pressure off the AC.
No autocannon is good too. So is the quasar, the laser, the spear, and a couple others. You’ll know you’re ascended when you’re only given 3 stratagems and you cut your support weapon because whatever you find on the map or scavenge from your dead teammates will be fine.
>arc better than amr
You’re living in the past buddy. AMR fricks bots hard and it fricks the “hard” bots the hardest. One mag you can easily kill 4 or 5 devastators and hulks. Once you’ve shot your mags call down a new one with 6 more mags. Scorcher is a nice primary but a joke compared to the AMR.
Me, an AMR main, always getting highest or second highest kill count almost every mission.
aim issue bro
>that one ship module
which one?
The one that makes arc thrower and tesla tower arc to one additional enemy. It's a tier 4 upgrade so it's expensive as hell.
do the tier 4 upgrades finally work
All of them worked except that ammo one.
They actually fixed fire damage?
These bot tactics are too strong
https://streamable.com/poruso
Why is the infinite grenade hack so common? Why that out of all of things? I just kicked a chink who was just spamming 20 rapid grenades at a hulk not knowing he wasn’t doing shit
Not defending that chink but you can kill hulks with impact grenades if you throw them between their legs the explosion can hit their back vent.
It's not a hack, it's a glitch everyone can activate
I'm amused that every person with the grenade hack only ever uses impacts
no other fricking nade is worth bothering with
not even the fricking thermites even though the downside of needing 4+ to kill a charger doesnt even matter for someone with infinite nades
Infinite trash remains trash
So when are they making titans not dogshit to fight?
why do you think they're dogshit to fight?

I need to farm rare samples more than super samples. Shits nuts
the new airburst is so bad its really just a suicide gun
Where are the samples on this map?
It says 17 but I extracted with zero. I ran around everywhere trying to find them.
Played solo on "easy" difficulty. I don't know how to check what the map name is called.
Anon, I...
Here's a different angle of the map if it helps someone to recognize it.
Do you know where the samples are?
you have to get the samples from the civilians
it's sort of like asking for tips
Say what? Thank you very much if that's true, sounds like you're pranking me
There are no points of interests on that map, it's a very small 15 minute map.
Yeah that guy is fricking with you. They're scattered around the facility but its a b***h to find all of them.
Hah, I knew it. Thanks.
Inside the buildings? Or inside vending machines?
Because I looked almost everywhere so unless all 17 samples are in the same place I should have seen at least one but there was zero.
The samples on that map are spread out. Best way to get them is to circle the outer edge of the map before starting the civilian extract but it's hard to coordinate the randoms to do that.
Why is it important to do it before starting the extract? Do the enemies spawn less before you start extracting civs?
The more objectives you complete the more enemies spawn
Aha, good to know. Is it like that on all maps (increase difficulty when doing all side POI)? I've just heard that once extraction becomes available the enemy spawn increases by x4.
Samples are only in point of interests throughout the map like bases/bugholes, quest target, and minor POIs like storage containers. They only show up as things to pick up in the UI when you're within like 3m. You can still spot them further away, but if you're unfamiliar with how they look you have to get pretty close.
my life for super earth
Why is no one on Choohe?

Post tierlists

It's literally the one you should always have.
My primaries do that.
And if I really want to do that I take the airburst because that thing fricks bugholes like no tomorrow.
in solo? maybe
in multiplayer your team will already clear out nearby trash by the time your eagle comes out
It's not an eagle, and the delivery is near instantaneous.
Rocket sentry is kinda shit honestly
It's not terrible, but most of the time the autocannon is just better. If it was better armored I think it would be better but things like tanks and hulks and biles usually just instantly kill it.
>tesla tower
>absolute dogshit
moron alert
homie put 380, AMR and 110mm rocket pods in "S tier" so no wonder
Those things are S tier though
The issue with tesla tower it it's mission specific
Tesla tower is bad? It's basically the only reason why I'm trying to level up right now because I thought it would be cool...
It's good against tanks but only if you land it directly on top of it
shorter cooldown than precision strike and does more damage than EAT-17
>beheaded a bile Titan with an EAT (I accidentally clicked it instead of quasar and didn’t realize until after the drop)
I guess the intro didn’t lie, that can actually happen
EAT are extremely good for such a 'low level' weapon. Shoots down dropships, 1 taps hulks, 1 taps titans. Very solid choice for high diff
Is that the guy that played rico

I have never joined a single e game with a rando. I only join friends I know irl. If it's a random lobby I'm the one hosting. That way people can't kick me for moronic reasons and I call the shots on what gets done in what order.
The illuminate are coming are you ready?
Are the new AT mines they're offering any good?
do you really have to ask that
down the road it will come to light that the AT mines are better than the Airburst launcher.
>down the road it will come to light that the AT mines are better than the Airburst launcher.
But at what cost?
countless TKs via airburst memery. you know how the explosion bug that pulls you forward? a rando fired a airburst it blew up in front of me but i was just close enough and it pulled me into a Automaton gangbang.
I had a dude with one of those. While apparently he did kill a few things including eggs, I still kept my distance.
At some point out of the corner of my screen I noticed how he had deleted himself a mate from the map.

Don't forget headshot fire damage from Hulks.
Trying to hit their nutsack sized head while they stomp at you setting everything on fire is fricking moronic.
shoot the legs and they move at like 2 inches per second
if you cripple both legs they die
tru
It's hard to explain but there's a very specific movement cadence you can do with the rover that means you'll basically never take damage unless you stand totally still. You get better at it the more you use the dog.
>learn the sandwalk from DUNE to not get TK'd by your own item
nah I'd rather the devs just increase the height at which it flies at so there is less of a chance that it kills me
A few games ago I stepped on an icy rock on the ground. It was barely bigger than my knee.
This deed catapulted me outside the boundaries of the map into the icy ocean.
I had just enough time before drowning with my gear to see the traitor bombardment land next to me.
Why is it that super earth only has the budget to send down a 380mm barrage once per 240s but can immediately send down an infinite nonstop 380mm barrage at anytime the moment you step out of bounds for more than 10 seconds?
Well, if I really am a traitor, I could do insane damage by passing information.
The galaxy is full of mysteries. How can I survive a glowing roborocket sending me on a 50m surprise cartwheel flight only to go to smoke a cig and totally dissolve into cinders in 400ms?
Been using the starter punisher shotgun for 27 levels now and I can't imagine how anything could be better. I even push back and kill devastators, 2 shot stalkers, 1 shot all small bugs or soldier bots from 100m. It's so good.
hot take
The ballistic shield bots should have their shields count as medium armour instead of heavy armour
Hotter take: the flamethrower should roast them through their shields.
What's the point, flamethrower range is garbage against theirs.
I like the airburst rocket launcher. Just needs a slight delay to arm time and be able to pass through light foliage without detonating and it would be perfect.
It's probably good for bugs, but debuting it on a bot campaign was probably the worst possible showcase they could have imagined for it, not even counting the broken proximity fuse interacting with how it's a jungle planet, just because how much more of the routine bot infantry can't be hurt by the airburst bombs than the bug infantry.
I can't wait try to it on bugs. My record against bots so far is 31 kills with a single rocket into a large base right after two drop ships.

Why are they like this?
QRD on the lore? Why is it super earth? Is it literally just a big starship troopers meme? Is there gonna be a third faction in the southern portion of the galaxy? I hope it's greys or something.
There's gonna be maybe 5 factions with how the spacing is. Third is confirmed to be psychic alien things named illuminates
Okay this is based, they're basically just mashing all the dystopian sci-fi universes together. Hope they add some sort of interdimensional daemon faction or definitely not space-orks, just to piss off GW
I personally would love something in the Uncanny Valley. Like the Necromorphs from Dead Space or the Qu from All Tomorrows
Theres a faction from the first game called the Illuminate that are kinda like protoss aesthetic
So is the bile spewer personal order broken?
Because I killed like 25 of the bastards and they didn't count.

I'm on level 8, so that's probably it.

are they green or orange?
Orange (I think, I wasn't really paying attention).
I hadn't considered that the higher level spewers technically were a different kind of bug.

I’m so fricking tired of shit weapons being added. Everytime I get excited for new weapons, 9/10 of them are absolute garbage with one being the most broken op piece of shit in the game like the quasar
You guys are such cry asses. There's already going to be a balance pass where I'm sure all the stuff you currently like is going to get dumpstered so you can use the flamethrower and blitzer on bots.
I started playing again after a month. Why does helldive feel so easy?
Speak for yourself the bots arent making this easier
Devs play on difficult 5 so they don't know what their own game is like.
From what i have heard
Wildlife is going to be a thing in the game
So be aware of the space gorrilas on mort
>one shots you
Are you guys ready for the most dogshit balance changes ever? I unironically believe this has the potential to kill the game if they make most of these ""changes"" just nerfs to the point of making the gun/stratagem unusable

>hmg gets nerfed
The possibility of this being true is what makes it worse. They fricking nerfed the rate of fire on the HMG when everyone was shitting on how bad the gun is.
are they gonna barely buff the shit weapons and murder-nerf-frick the good weapons to be worse than the shit weapons so you can't kill a commissar or a regular little bug
I can’t wait for the weird changes they will make to guns that aren’t useable, and then claim they are buffed

tick tock autocannon shitters
calling it here, SC warbond weapons are only getting buffed
There's no way they won't nerf the Eruptor/Sickle mags. I'm going to think they will nerf the scorcher already abysmal ammo efficiency down to a whopping 4 mags total.
Nerfs to Eruptor mags are kind of fine to be honest. I've been using it since the warbond came out and I've caught myself multiple times thinking "why the frick does this thing have 12 mags"
I never EVER even came close to running out of ammo.
Here's hoping they don't make it something stupid like 5 mags though
Is the 24 weapon patch in a few days or next week
Man, the Sickle was fun while it lasted.
>scorcher might be nerfed immediately after I unlocked it
but
>marksman rifles might become useful for something
Not sure if want.
the only real reason to take the scorcher is to kill scout striders. if they nerf that aspect of it, it just won't be worth taking
It's also good in a pinch for killing devastators if your support weapon is empty. It's just good at a lot of things if your support weapon is down for whatever reason. Not good enough to solo a base or anything, but good enough to keep you alive and manage a retreat.
They went on to say only 2 things are 'nerfed' and it's just magazine capacity. That they had to go on and say that shows you how much they are slowly waking up to the fact that having everyone be fricking traumatized that anything nice is going to get nerfed is not very good look.
I can see sickle getting mags reduced to 3 or something. I am worried they'll hit the MMG. At least they maybe understand now you need to give a shit load of buffs and not just a nerf (like when the railgun got hit) so that people have new toys to play with instead of
>Thing you liked sucks dick now, deal with it
So if they can make the plasma shotgun good or the battle rifle adjucator or whatever it's called useful then I'll take a mag hit on the MMG or something.
That'd be beyond moronic given how much the 6 mags for the scorcher is exceedingly miserly.
>plasma shotgun
Is that the one that plops out a little blue ball with severe dropoff? It's the only weapon I couldn't make work for me no matter what I tried. Genuinely abysmal experience.
The drop is so fricking ridiculous with no reticle to help you aim it. I've seen people make it work but I don't want to aim at the fricking sky to hit a dude 20 meters away. It feels terrible.
>everyone be fricking traumatized that anything nice is going to get nerfed
That's because they're paranoid schizophrenics. There were what, 2 weapons nerfs? The slugger and railgun and when 30% of players were crutching on them maybe they had a point.
>players were crutching on them
No weapon is viable other than the autocannon in high difficulties, I advise the swedes to nerf the autocannon because players are crutching on them, also nerf the EAT by increasing cooldown time to twice the time, so they stop crutching on it too, and nerf the Quasar, people crutch too much, and the energy shield should be nerfed too, another crutch. Etc.

AMR is getting nerfed to the ground again
How can you possibly make it worse than it already is?
Reduce mag count to 4 unironically. These homosexuals don't want you to have fun
It’s going to have the scope fixed. Scorcher is going to get nerfed to 4 mags and the air carrying my internet will be humming with seething nerds who were carried by that thing.
Again?
What did they do to the AMR? I must have missed something recently.
Why is it that bug planets are always crystal clear but bot planets are always covered in fog or some other bullshit that makes it impossible to see? Bots are the ones where aiming actually matters.
why are randos so fricking bad? I'm only lvl 8 but I get paired with people in their 20s who seem incapable of completing objectives and not dying every 30 seconds even on diff 5
low difficulties are where the shittiest shitters will be

Randos in every extremely popular game are usually bad because the average person is pretty dumb. Also, there's a good chance they're either literal children or stoned.
theyre probably experimenting with loadouts and running combinations that suck
>everyone says going from bugs to bots is hell
>can't stand bugs, love bot missions
>can solo suicide mission bots, can barely scrape through challenging bugs
I don't get it.
they are actually pretty much equal difficulty wise but the playstyles for them are very different
Bugs are difficult if you don't know how to juke and jump. Bots are difficult if you think having any part of your body exposed during a fight for more than three seconds at a time is a good idea.

Fricking Christ why doesn't it have one. It's awful.
Honestly, a free aim reticule isn't necessary. Just look at the center of your screen and that's where the bullets go.
so there's no reason for it to NOT have one
I think it's to discourage free-aiming because the insane recoil makes it nonviable.
No crosshair on machienguns is generally used in milsim games to discourage hipfiring rambo shit. But AH fricked it up here because even going prone with the HMG, the recoil is immense and unsuuable

It's basically just the AP lib with all the same flaws but slightly more damage.
Most medium pen variant needs buff. The moron swede philosophy regarding med pen is all wrong.
You shouldn't lose so much damage AND have worse handling and ammo capacity to deal 20% more damage on like 10% of the specific enemy's spot in the game and 30% less damage everywhere else compared light pen weapons
For DMR, baseline diligence SHOULD be low med pen and countersnipe should be high med pen, and all dmr either need better handling/recoil or better base damage

I have had the airburst rocket blow up in my face a few times when no enemies were near me. What triggers the proximity fuse?
the illuminates are exploding your missiles.
>What triggers the proximity fuse?
Everything.
Man sized targets in the vicinity of course
I actually think your own character can also trigger the proximity fuse since I shot high above the horizon and had the damn thing shoot back at me.
Literally every physics object from my tests
May's warbond leak soon.
The trick, if you hold down the fire button it delays the airburst. If you never let go, the rocket disperses on impact.
Bullshit, I literally had it blow up in my face doing that for a test.
I'm throwing my walking+380+120 barrage on a small hive and run away looking at the cool explosions
If you don't throw a strategem in there, I'm kicking you
I try to throw a gas strike, get knocked by one of the barrage impacts and drop it on myself killing me. does that count
>chuck walking into heavy base
>wipes out everything
>chuck orbital laser into medium base
>gets stuck on a flamethrower heavy and does nothing
