Have you guys noticed how similar movement is to MGSV?
A few have. We talked about how cool it'd be to add silencers and inflatable distraction grenades for more stealth.
It doesn't feel as smooth but yeah I see it.
I have rebinded evey key to match MGSV's controls, super comfy
I refunded it, just felt like a charismatic Division without the looting, but with more reloading, disconnects and less customization. Maybe I'll try it out in a few years when it has more going for it and the game is actually playable, and doesn't disconnect as often.
yeah, it's obvious they copied it, the prone animations are a dead giveaway, though it's pretty choppy
>I refunded it, just felt like a charismatic Division without the looting, but with more reloading, disconnects and less customization.
is this true? because that's what it looks like, maybe it's the kind of game where to enjoy it you don't need a carrot on a stick?
movement, shooting and reloading in first person and third person

Higher difficulties, particularly 6 and above, are really fun. I pretty much only run 7-9 anymore. The game gets way better around account level 15, which is maybe 10-12 hours of gameplay. You start unlocking really nasty stratagems.

why would a bug egg need an incubator they stick those shits to the walls of nests. makes you wonder why they dont have the eggs underground i guess
the eggs need sun to grow
I've had fun but its pretty janky
It's really rough around the edges right now, the biggest issue is the matchmaking. 9.9/10 I try to join a lobby I fail to connect, but I hope it's solved soon because the game is simple but fun as frick, especially after you start getting more Stratagems and BP weapons
>"but I hope it's solved soon"
>devs: Swedish
Yea it's not happening. I want to try out the game but the less than stellar experience I read in these threads and the fact that its developed by a studio from one of the laziest countries in the world makes it a lot easier to avoid it.
A new update literally just came out prioritising Matchmaking issues, Defend Missions, and top 3 Crash causes. If they keep cranking out these updates it'll keep getting better.
Airburst, it looks so fricking cool, followed by the Rover backpack
has the armor in the shop reset yet
it’s eurojank but i’m having fun
devs did that thing where they come into the office and 0 out planet progression from the night before
this shit needs to stop its so cancer it makes me not want to participate in their fake war at all
The heavy handed progression frickery they're doing is complete cancer. Why bother even pretending to have a standardized system. The lease they can do is have an in-game message like
>Planet X was in more libery than expected helldiver! The liberation status was recaluclated by our top strategists and found the Y presense greater than expected.
>when does it gets fun?
For you? Never. You and your friends should probably stop playing
it's crazy that the game is as popular as it is despite the match making being utterly broken right now
So what is your favourite stratagem? For me it's the mortar sentry. I fricking love this thing. Just slap it down just outside of an area like a nest or behind you when at the evac and watch it rain down hell on enemies you can't even see.
Why did they change the perspective from top down to turd person shooter?
It looks nothing like the original.
TPS has more profit potential
Idk but I’m happy they did. This game is a lot better than the first.
Eagle Cluster
Railgun
Rover Laser
Autocannon
That's the bug killing build and I'm almost tired of running it.
>he's not using grenade launcher + supply pack

This game makes me really want a starship troopers project reality mod or something. I think that would be really cool.
I am getting really tired of finally joing helldive difficulty after 50 attempts and it just ends up being cyborg defence grindfest party
Just burn the respawns, as long as the objective is complete you come out with a win. Its how most Helldive games end, worthy sacrifice.
Take another planet perhaps? Lol
This happens on all cyborg planets. They all have this type of mission.

>animeshitter
wdytya moron?
>2 viable primaries
Ill review all weapons since I have most of them unlocked
>standard AR
sustained dps on weak points. Needs 1 or 2 more mags
>penetrator
Useless. Penetrates armour but it does little damage. Needs a larger magazine and more mags for how weak it is. Its a waste right now
>smg
ammo efficient and good aim when moving. The benefit of it is one handed use, but there is no real opportunity for that yet outside of the shield and carrying SSD, I can see them adding vehicles where this is the only weapon that can fire from seated position etc
>DMR
If you can actually aim you can drop everything up to heavies with ease and pick out weak points efficiently. The problem is its ammo, it needs 2 more mags, or a bit more damage
>counter sniper
DMR with slightly higher damage, youll sometimes drop enemies faster, but its not worth the medals for just that. Needs more damage, smaller magazine to compensate
>pump shotgun
Ammo efficient, fantastic at killing regular enemies due to the range and reload for every shot, your team will thank you for not eating ammo. Needs a bit more damage to compensate slow fire rate
>slugger
Works like the shotgun but has the range of the DMR firing slugs. Good damage, bad recoil. I wouldnt change anything, it seems working as intended
>breaker
Deletes enemies that are ontop of you. Absoloutely horrible ammo economy, if you ever wonder why all the supplies are gone for your stratagem weapons, its becuase everyone is using this. Just need to give it more spread, so its a close range deleter
>laser cutter
Only good if you have a stratagem weapon you use primarily, so when you run out of ammo and pick up more, its not being given to your primary, its being given to the stratagem weapon which is what you are maining.
>plasma rifle
I dont understand why its so low in the unlocks, it fires explosives, but its very weak. you could get some benefit from it hitting multiple enemies per shot but its damage isnt great.
it boils down to smg and breaker shotgun
>smg is a straight upgrade from default rifle (70 vs 55dmg)
>breaker breaks things fast
>stratagem weapon or an extra mag for things that don't get vaporized instantly by these two
Its slow rate of fire is why I would question the SMG being a direct upgrade.
>heavy turns, its weakpoint vulnerable
>have about 2 seconds to hit it
>smg fires like 10 shots
>AR has emptied whole mag
Stuff like that
Breaker does nothing to armour, every weapon can deal with chaff. Its the armoured or partially armoured enemies that are always the threat, if youre using autocannon or railgun, or even the MG, the breaker is just eating your ammo pickups for those weapons. Its preference really, do you want to plap striders the moment you see them with a railgun stratagem main, or try and run around the back of them in every encounter to shoot them because you are using airstrikes and not stratagem weapons.
Plasma rifle can three-shot striders from the front. It's my preferred weapon when fighting bots, since it's very accurate at any range but still counts as an explosive for the weak point vents on tanks, hulks, and cannon towers.
A benefit of the plasma weapon is that it never ricochets off armor. As a result, you can shoot the front of the armored AT-ST the robots use and it will explode on the visor, killing the driver in three shots despite not technically penetrating.
By contrast, the Dominator shells will ricochet off the armor and do nothing.
Really, the Penetrator is that weak? I was pushing through to unlock it just so I could have a standard weapon that has penetration for fighting bots
itll do damage to everything, but youre better just using a real pentration weapon. The magazine size is just way too small for how low damage it is and it chews ammo.
Every weapon seems to chew ammo.
Not really, SMG is great for that, the laser doesnt use ammo and the pump shotguns reload per shot, rather than the whole mag, which makes they great for just shooting smaller enemies without worrying about wasting ammo. The marksman rifles are fine too if you can aim.
I snuggle my MG to deal with bots right now, and as much as I like the SMG, I end up just using the MG more so I'd hoped the Penetrator would be a good standard weapon for how armored even the heavy automaton infantry is
if you're going for headshots vs bots, the Med Pen is fricked since it staggers them
dilligence is really good for bots, headshots for days, two shot the big guys in the head

how many times have you seen people asking for metashit? Asking for how to farm SC? And how many seethed at the TK webms?

FIX YOUR FRICKING MATCHMAKING YOU SHIT GAME
Matchmaking seems a bit better for me since this update but maybe it's because of low player counts
the reward for this mission is absolute fricking trash for what you have to do. it's campaigns not missions
it's a fake mission
we are scripted to lose this advance so they can explain why we are getting mechs in canon
the entire war has been scripted so far hopefully that changes when the servers are shitting anymore
What are helldivers mech like anyways? I think mechs are pretty cool, so I'm hoping they aren't basically just construction rigs.
Great firepower but very, very fragile.

frick you
Campaigns are the entire set of three, not individual missions. I haven't been able to get even one of those because the civilian evac mission is artificial difficulty forced bad end bullshit.
I beat one, once. The dropships didnt spawn as fast as usual. Was suprising
>I haven't been able to get even one of those because the civilian evac mission is artificial difficulty forced bad end bullshit.
just beat 1. at level 4 they don't spawn tanks or the dreadnauts so you can manage them, also at level 4 the campaigns are only 2 missions instead of 3. wait no i didn't beat it because the game crashed at the end of the civilian evac mission so i have to do it again
>wait no i didn't beat it because the game crashed at the end of the civilian evac mission so i have to do it again
im fricking dying
I just beat it on 6,
4 randos, all picked mortars and turrets, it was super easy.
Mortars carried it tho, if you take normal strats its fricking insanely hard
>4 randos, all picked mortars and turrets
does this mean it's unplayable if only 1 person brings turrets
It's damn difficult, maybe doable if you have a crack group. I tried 4ish times before I joined the turret group
it's not defense missions, it's CAMPAIGNS. if you look at a planet where the defense mission is active you will see a blue bar, a red bar and a timer. to win a campaign the playerbase needs to get that blue bar higher than the red bar within the time limit.
as another anon said, this might be impossible to do without great effort in order to give an in-game excuse for mechs and tanks. whether that is true or not, idk. just keep killing tin cans and do the hardest missions possible.
>50K requsition limit
Bullshit.
datamine status?
So you haven't played the game?

It was fun exactly first 3 hours
Now it's just a pile of poojet code
I'm having alot of fun with my two buddies who bought the game. They need to iron out the fricking bugs though, this is no way to launch a game.
That moronic anticheat keeps closing my steam on startup so my character can't be loaded from the cloud. I end up as a lvl 1 char at the tutorial
>I end up as a lvl 1 char at the tutorial
I'm not impressed by this game doing shit like that.
I dont really get what you're trying to say. But yeah frick the devs for that shit, when the game was working last night it was alot of fun however
I hope they break the swedish curse. I also think it's not a coincidence that Payday 3 recently announced an overhaul to how it works.
So I got to wait for this minute timer instead of spamming start to try and get into their game now? Are they moronic?
>playing on trivial to test out ballistic shield and laser rifle on bots(they suck dick)
>people randomly joining in even though i didnt use sos bacons
did they finally fix matchmaking?
I really don't get why they included the ballistic shield save that it was in the first game. The directional energy shield (SH-32) would have been a much better option to fill that role.
The flamethrower sucks ass holy shit.
On lower difficulties yeah, theres just not enough bugs to justify it
But on 7-9?
You get swarmed like a motherfricker and holding a choke/hill with a flamer is great
The arc rifle feels better for this imo, plus it's actually decent at medium range.
Maybe I was using it wrong, it felt like the chargers were just ignoring it.
It's because it doesn't stagger or deal any real limb damage. But fire has the big ups of ignoring armor.
Yeah it doesnt go well against chargers
But fodder shit? spitters? big spitters? Brood mothers? the shitty armored bugs on the front?
They'll burn alright
Its actually really good for damage, the problem is that it makes the area around you a hazard. Its a liability until they add a "take reduced/no damage from fire effects" booster or you can pick your opportunities better
Takes like 3/4 a canister of direct shot on a heavy charger to kill it, which is really good actually considering you can pick up regular ammo to replinish the flamethrower, and on things like evac if you spray down a chokepoint you can delete a whole wave, and have the wave behind them has to walk through fire and take damage before getting close.
Stop fighting bugs
What do people do when I'm not in their game to autocannon chargers? Seems like most of the time I'm the only one killing them. It's annoying as frick. No one takes aggro while I'm reloading either
Shoot my teammate in the head so he can drop on top of them.
Noob spotted
Use a railgun or EAT/Recoilless to blow the armor from one of the front legs and shoot it with your primary
Autocannon is not efficient at dealing with chargers
Haven't played enough to get the railgun yet. And no one else in my games has railguns most of the time. No shit
double tap the legs with charged railgun and then magdump into crunchy leg
>crunchy leg
you think the bugs taste like crab?
maybe before they were engineered into producing FTL fuel
No, they're bugs so they taste like bug.
Why would they taste like crab?
autocannon is for mediums and bots
railgun/rocket their legs and shoot at the weak spot
I just call down my disposable anti tank, shoot the same leg twice and then unload a few shotgun shots into the now unarmored leg. Easy peasy
>smallfry

Railgun. There that's the meta.
Nah I'm just gonna use the arc rifle on everything.
Is that the one that takes three seconds to charge a single shot that won't even kill a normal bug
It takes about half a second to charge a shot that will kill fodder bugs, ignores armor, spreads through a crown, and will pop the heads of brood guardians if you aim it right.
Yes you do still have to aim the arc rifle and you also have to learn how to avoid getting its trajectory caught on corpses.
I like the arc laser but its so shit against anything outside of the 1 shottable units anyways
You are using the right armor color patterns for each biome right?
I dress in black and only play night time missions.
Is the revolver any good?
its fun
It's not as good of a panic weapon like the mini-uzi, but it does nice damage against armored enemies.
Fricking crashes are insane. Half of my matches crash before I can finish them now, the update didn't help at all.
>game requires you to stay as a team for max rewards
>everyone leaves after 1 match
>servers are so fricked that you can forget finding a second batch of randos
just be the host
Requires? I only die when a teammate follows me to an objective and accidentals me. And stalkers. Okay I'll be honest, I abuse my teammates drawing aggro and the 1 wave spawn limit to survive on my own. Thinking on it, it's probably way more effecient to have one player at least draw out 1 wave spawn across the map so the other three can rush an objective.
Most games on Helldive that I play, we have two people drawing all the swarms at a single objective while the other two people go solo roving to get the other objectives and collect materials.
When should I consider myself ready for hard and extreme difficulty? I'm level 6 at the moment
Just keep upping difficulty and if you fail, stay there and try again. Eventually you hit Helldive. Watch what your teammates do while you're dead.
SPEAR bros ww@?
most of the time the dumb think doesnt lock on or stays on yellow
i dont see the point in using it over recoilless unless spear flat out does more damage
In my games SPEAR seems to consistantly take down bile titans in 1-2 shots, the finicky part is if there are two heavy units close to each other, which screws with the lockon. I've started using the first person aiming mode and so far it's been a bit better.
IMO, when you need precision, take recoilless, but if you're up against a ton of heavies take SPEAR
good to know
is it any good? I tried it once, didn't shoot down the dropships in one shot, never touched it again
I couldn't even start the fricking game, kept either getting install script error when starting it, or it would get stuck on the logo
R E F O O N D E D
Went back to DRG
Is the laser any good? Need something early to deal with chargers. Swear to god robots are easier on 4 than dealing with these frickos.
people are power farming those kill all bots missions for 1000xp and 9medals every 7 or 8 minutes
What difficulty is ideal/most popular for it?
My pubbies always get fricking filtered trying to fight robutts, even more than dealing with chargers
helldive obviously for the most xp, they are piss easy at every difficulty
I haven't fought robots yet since I just started playing but from what I've gathered is that you need to make separate loadouts as certain weapons are useless against certain enemy types and vice versa, most morons probably haven't realized this yet so they go into bot missions with bug loadouts and get wiped as a result as they do no damage.
Helldive, everyone brings mortars and sits up top near the tower. Game basically plays itself.
Good way to get all the gear and still be a shitter with no idea how to handle swarms at level 50.
We really need more uses for Requisition Slips
What they need is consumables. Something like boosters except you have to pay requisition for them every time. Otherwise you'll have everyone sitting on 50k forever once they unlock everything.
I suggested a community resource sink a while back in the discord but we'll see if they go through with it. Might be fun to use as a community goal to unlock new guns or armor for the playerbase.
For me, it'd be applying temporary stratagems like those incendiary mines. Something unique would be nice if they have the assets but not sure what. Unlocks are temporary, modifiers that go away after a set time would be a forever sink.
They need to stop giving us slips for the events
It's already a worthless currency for me. I'm not gonna help defend those planets
Couldn't even be bothered to google the price huh?
and there is the Snoy shills
>make a moronic post
>get called out
>it must be shills
Is the armor set, weapon, and stratagem you get from the Super Citizen upgrade necessary for high difficulty play?
The premium edition doesn't give you a strategem, while the armor bonuses aren't unique and the weapon is considered one of the worst in the game.
Thanks, I guess I'll start with the base game and see what the hype's all about.
No, the stuff there is purely cosmetic. There's armor with the same perks in the free pass, the Knight is mid tier at best, and all stratagems can be bought for requisition slips. Only buy the 60$ version if you want to send the devs your good boy points
>for $60
It's $40, moron. Nice way to out yourself.
Also I've found enough premium currency by scavenging on the maps to afford every cosmetic in the shop rotation.
He could just be an Aussie, like it is 60 bucks here.
Would explain why he's just here to shit up the place of he's Aussie.
The citizen extraction missions are impossible. It spawns half a dozen tanks and hulks on you at once so the citizens can barely walk 10 feet before getting killed, and destroying them is pretty much pointless since there's always more dropping in anyway. It's like they didn't even play test them.
>he actually chose to deploy to the automaton slaughter
Cozy over here in bugland where I don't die for civies.
I'm dying for DEMOCRACY
it's because of people like you this is happening every second in 93.5% of super colonies
They are in fact possible but it requires everyone to be coordinated and on top of their game to a monstrous degree compared to any other mission at the same difficulty. The issue is primarily that the drop ships deploy on the fricking evacuation routes instead of outside the facility, meaning you have no way to respond to them.
Compounded by the fact that shooting down a dropship does nothing to the passengers. Fairly certain that's a bug.
I've been clearing the evacuation missions pretty consistently with random at difficulty 7-9, mostly 7
The trick is a frick ton of mortars, my setup is:
Railgun
Eagle airstrike
Ems Mortar
Mortar
If everyone else runs mortars too, the mission goes quite smoothly, sometimes I get guys running EATs Spears and Autocannons to shoot down the dropships, but it's inconsistent, sometimes all the bots die with the drop ship, sometimes the dropship blows up and the bots literally just teleport down to where they would land, completely unharmed
1 guy on each door, hitting the button on cooldown, only time it gets sketchy is when the bots drop directly on top of the path to the shuttle bay, especially if it's a tank, some civic die, extending the mission
I managed to do it once with a full squad of randos on impossible. Went back later that day with a different squad and we couldn't even extract half of the citizens and seemed like more bots were spawning than before but maybe we just weren't killing them fast enough.
So this is the Barry of Helldivers 2?

>Armor stats doesn't work at all
No seriously, armor simply does not work. All you get for using heavy/medium armor is reduced movespeed
I usually run around in light armor, but I use heavy in defense missions. You do have more HP and the substats like recoil reduction can be felt if you're switching between light and heavy. I don't use medium, so it might be that there's less of a jump from medium to heavy or light than light to heavy
I though armor was bugged? Ot is it just protection thats bugged but you still have more HP?
Light armor, I'll die to like, two shots from a walker, heavy armor I can take four, you can feel it if you swap between them and actually take shots. Which you will in heavy armor since you're so god damn slow
it was already tested, until fixed, armour is a completely useless stat
>crashes
lol
LMFAO
turn cross play off and the game never crashes. fricking console morons
Any reason to go past suicide mission?
Better chance at finding any super rares given there's more on the map. Not much harder than Suicidal because the best players play on Helldive, making the game easier in a roundabout way.
>infinite breaches
>infinite drops
Sneaking around and killing alerters was easy in HD1 in comparison to HD2. This shit is too much.
Killing the bots who throw up flares is reasonable, since it's only ever the small guys and it's a lot easier to see them. By contrast, it's difficult to tell if you missed a single squirter when fighting bugs - not to mention brood guardians can also call for help.
>escort
>literally a non-stop stream of enemies that snowball and swarm the map if you make a single mistake
what the frick were they thinking
Would be fine if it was bugs, but it's significantly more difficult to deal with bots en masse - which is why the only way people actually deal with them on regular missions is to either avoid them or alpha strike them.
But you can't alpha strike a constant stream of new arrivals.
Dude use the fricking mortars you shitter trashcan.
You realize they recently made the defense escort easier? I'm talking about how it was on the first day.

I mean we probably would’ve died anyway but this shit is infuriating. I was already seething cus of a frickwit running off to do side objectives whilst we were struggling with the main one. FOR FRICKS SAKE c**tS FRICKING FIX THIS SHIT ALREADY
You're supposed to have three people off making noise elsewhere to attract the hordes while one guy pushes the buttons.
If he was actually trying to draw aggro that’d be fine, but he was on the other side of the map doing side shit, if he had tried to help with main objective we would’ve gotten out of there faster b4 I crashed

Stop it with the antisemitic remarks.
How is it to play alone with randos? People probably would say playing with friends is required like with DRG but I've primarly played DRG with randos and still had a fun time. Sure hope it's not already comparable to L4D Versus.
You will either get chinese script injectors or kicked at the extract
Forgot to mention but can you host your own games like with DRG and have kick priviliges alone? In a couple hundred hours of DRG In only had to kick like a handful of times because of afk idiots but it was still nice to have.
you can host but you have to open your game to public and throw an SOS signal if you dont wait in lobby
it's been fun for me, done somewhere around 20 runs and have had a blast with the worst experience was having to carry 3 new players on challenging
I mostly play with randos and I have a pretty good experience.
Never had many issues its fun
Comparable to DRG, but more focus on the action. Everyone I play with is competant the higher difficulty you go having learned the objectives and no voice necessary. I wish travseral was as interesting as in DRG but you can't have much verticality with airstrike gameplay.
High difficulties are unplayable since you have to actively avoid patrols while randoms shoot at everything that moves.
Middle of the pack difficulties are doable but frustrating.
imagine DRG but not dog shit, if you care about being kicked just host your own lobby if your not autistic
>How is it to play alone with randos?
You simply can't. Matchmaking doesn't work.
>i join lobbies

What faction would you add to Helldivers?
The illuminates are coming.

If there was ever a game where you could show the true potential of the Flood

>the enemy is a swarm of flood like things that, if not killed, will keep reanimating bodies by grabbing limbs and reconnecting them
>if killed your gear is kept on the body and can be used by the enemy, no stratagems tho
Would be cool
Why must you remind me of my female helldivers as seedbeds in a bug hive fetish?
No they're not, homosexual
Absolutely undemocratic
You may not like it, but all of our women will be bugged! [laughs maniacally while getting dragged to the freedom camps]
Flood/necromorphs. But only as like a 3rd special enemy who appears alongside the main factions occasionally. The more corpses left on the field, the more they'd multiply. All those human corpses you find in robocamps can be used that way contextually. Would eventually establish a meat base who'd produce more parasites and coordinate a snowball to go after the team. The units would go down easy but get back up after some time unless exploded, burnt, or lasered thoroughly. Not sure it'd be enough gameplay variety from bugs though.

Bros, I have no idea how not to die to those green big acid spitters. I feel like even diving when they spit is like a 50/50 chance of me eating shit.
after spending hour researching the anticheat system, and finally coming to the conclusion to actually play the game it turns out when starting the game my cpu doesnt support avx and therefore the game cannot be played anyway...
I have been doing nothing but fighting Robos on that red grass planet since I've bought the game. I will not be switching to a different one until the planet is ours.
obligatory more fun with friends post
How is the enemy variety? Is it just a handful of bugs?
These defense missions get out of hand really fast.
you just described video games anon
What weapon kills the stupid armored bots or the goddamn big turret (which doesnt die to an orbital)
Ive been using the grenade launcher but it seems soso
Man it's so much harder to farm SC in the higher difficulties
Did they fix the civilian evac missions? Literally the only thing keeping me from knocking out the major order.
I suppose the game must really be fun if people are willing to put up with the shitty matchmaking. Here is hoping they fix this quickly because while I'm interested in it I'm no interested in getting disconnected lots of times.
The civilian evac feels like what the actual survival mission should feel like.
Play with friends anon... Oh, I see... yeah, what a a loser, sorry :/
Just watched a stream of it. It looks fun as frick.
What is OP's problem?
when do strategem flares stick to enemies and when don't they? Is it distance based? Strategem specific? I'd like to consistently use precision orbital strike or weapon drops as a way to deal with armored enemies but i can't tell when the flare is going to bounce or be sticky.
Worth it at this price?
Is joining randos/playing solo fine or is this the kind of game you need a proper group to play with?
its worth it at that price. randoms are hit and miss and you'll want to communicate more on the harder difficulties but you should be fine
gud price
you can select a mission and people will join or you can matchmake multiple times and sometimes works
I preffer to just restart the game to get priority matchmaking on my ship ,dk why it works like that
I'd say so. It's very fun even as an autistic sologay who mostly does drop in multi. Some weapons benefit from coordination you probably won't find in pubs, but you can always just take the ammo backpack yourself to reload your big funny gun
The matchmaking is iffy now with some connection errors, but it doesn't take me more than a minute of fumbling through errors to find a match. Monetization is also "generous" wherein you likely won't have to spend any further to see anything as long as you play half often since the premium currency is a common loot find. Deliberate griefing friendly fire is also much rarer than these threads would leave you thinking, and in seventeen hours I've only had one pubbie blast me to test his new support gun before apologizing
Is there a shooting gallery to test out my new shit or do I need to go to a mission?
launch a trivial solo mission
What should I unlock first as a new player?
the smg, and the smg pistol
Just unlock whatever becomes available as you level up. The only resource you'll really be hurting for is SC unless you want to paypig it.
>can get 8-16 medals in 10 minutes because people are spamming the bot defend missions and spamming mortars with the glitch that lets you use as many of one strategem as possible
damn
>when does it get fun
you've been having fun from the first minute, you just don't realize it yet
Haven’t crashed once on ps5. Matchmaking works better with cross play off but can still take a few tries. Feel like I’m finally making some progress. Is it worth buying the premium currency for the weapons?
>Is it worth buying the premium currency for the weapons?
No. They're just the basic weapons but explosive or with fire.
Do they have higher damage output tho?

Neat but leveling up past level 20 feels kinda pointless right now since you unlock everything at 20.

Good work helldiver!
we did t
anons, those planets are already liberated, they're just being invaded right now. you arent fighting to reliberate them just to make the bots frick off
i fricking smashed them good too homosexual invaders
Are the guard dogs good? I see that they have like 7-8 minute cooldown, but how long to they last?
The Rover/laser one is insanely good, alot of uptime and shits on bugs. The normal/gun one is bad, way too much downtime and not good against bugs or bots
Thanks, I'll go for the laser one then.
it's just like the first game, but it's not top-down anymore
That's a big change, innit?
risk of rain 2 was like the first game but not a sidescroller and went third person too
Glad you made this post and how not deranged it is.
>when does it get fun?
when you stop being a complete homosexual, so never
Should have played foamstars tbh, it's pure KINO
Man I wish there was a way to leave a group when you're host instead of kicking everyone
How do you kick people? I'm on PS5 and atm I just restart the entire game.
No idea for console but on PC you open the social tab in the menu and select their name and there should be an option to kick.
Ah, probably the same then. Thanks.
>people bringing multiple of a stratagem
Cheaters I presume?
it's an exploit that's easy to do. /coopg/ had a webm of it but I'm too lazy to go find it.
actually just an IKEA quality game
clicking around P4's ready button duplicates your stratagem
I'm loosing my mind, their shitty anticheat shuts down steam when I launch the game so I cant access my character. What the frick is this bullshit.
have you tried starting through a desktop shortcut, and not touching steam? It kills my discord too, but sometimes it only actually closes when I try opening it.
launching the .exe just doesnt do anything. I get the fricking popup for that homosexual ass anti-cheat and then nothing.
Trivial and Easy are basically tutorials, you have frick-all for air strikes and only basic unarmored enemies show up.
Difficulty 4 feels like the real baseline of the game, it's where you'll actually see all the different enemy types and regularly run into patrols
Also laser rover is OP as frick against bugs, GL/Rover/EAT for chargers/Orbital Laser for large hives has been an excellent loadout for me so far
>Also laser rover is OP as frick against bugs
I need to see a team with 4 Laser Drones holding the line
Kinda dumb that the deluxe edition armor mogs everything else in the game. Would be more motivated if the really cool stuff was begin a big grind wall.
I like the trailblazer outfit and the first one in the premium unlocks. I want more stuff with the undercoat.
Is there no way to speed up the results after missions?
>it's another episode of being the only gay collecting samples
Are cooldowns shared if you have the same strategems?
No, you all have your own eagles and ships
beam one is shared
If you're hosting the defense planets, start with the actually losable escort mission to get it out of the way.
Also for you mouthbreathers we need to defend 8 planets, not missions, you have to finish operations for it to count.
Scripted loss btw.
I could see it being legit with the amount of tard hosts who quit after every mission, and the unending crashes, if those count as failed operations.
It's a false flag, open your eyes sheeple.
>Do a pubbie Defend Mission campaign
>Doesnt count
What gives?
dumbo, when a planet wins then you get counted for 1. It's a community goal.
Campaigns, not missions. The major orders are always planet-based.
Also we're losing all of these, they're way overtuned.
The game servers, which are all listen servers hosted by the PC of the guy who chose the mission, run fine. It's the auth/progress servers that are overloaded with requests because they built a framework for 50k concurrent users and got 300k
That said you're not going to want a 32-man server to be a listen server, you want that to be a dedicated hosted server.
Since they switched to TPS and no longer sharing screens
What's stopping them from complete steel rain? 32 players coop lobby with 10x bots and bugs?
Their servers are struggling with 4 players P2P
oh yeah, right, that
Stuff like that is what I'm huffing the hopium for. Basically the switch to TPS is really good, but I need
To catch up to the first game
>way more stratagem, not just vehicles
>way more weapons
>illuminate
To surpass the first game
>a 4th alien race
>missions that have more than 4 players
>new stratagem and weapon types that didn't exist in first game
My biggest fear is that 6 months from now they barely cover any of that since they prioritize cosmetics for money.
If they dont add some crazy cresendo event at the end of the season with like a 10 man hold out im going to be let down. Though I suspect consoles are holding us back and will once again make that impossible
Did this come out on ps4 also? If so then yes we shouldnt expect anything cool.
illuminates are a given
Anyone else have this glitch where the staff stand around instead of escaping?
Yeah it happens on THAT specific preset sometimes, if its successful they'll keep climbing the rock on the right to get to the extract otherwise they'll keep getting stuck in that pile
Where do I get the bile insects from? Need to kill them for the daily mission.
They're the giant green bugs that spew acid
nta but that doesnt narrow it down
They're literally the only giant bug that spews acid however, aside from the titan
They need a bestiary like the first game. Add that to the list of things they need to catch up
on challenging difficulty there are tons of them
>lay down incendiary mines
>call an eagle napalm strike over it
Enjoy the fireworks, everything in the area is getting bbq’d
>.1% of players have even played a planet defense mission
how
It's glitched, much like that mission itself. I've done planet defenses successfully on two of the bot invasion planets and I don't have it.
Bros its so over for us
TOTAL.
MEATBAG.
DEATH.
01001000 01000001 01001000 01000001 01001000 01000001
0b111011100110101100101000000000s must die
It literally doesn't matter, it's 'scripted'.
Nothing you do affects this, the devs decide what happens to it.
Proof?
The devs themselves said the entire 'strategic map' portion of the game is controlled by so called 'game masters' and they decide what happens to it.
They said the game masters would base it off of community outcomes.
I feel like its its intentionally overtuned for narritive reasons
>I feel like its its intentionally overtuned for narritive reasons
Stupid idea on the devs part if true because it's killing everyone's enjoyment of the toaster sectors.
Yes i'm sure they spend dev time on two separate outcomes and deign entire forking chains of events one by one instead of one path of events they stick with. Players are supposed to lose against bots so devs can introduce vehicles as a win back mechanic.
How stupid are you people.
>spend dev time on two separate outcomes
lol homie are you moronic
a planet becoming accessible or not being accessible anymore are the functional outcomes
Have you played the game? Its really not that complicated to have different outcomes with the tools they have. Its literally just the map. Text box based messages from Super Earth and the guy on TV doing audio records behind a slide show of images. We're not talking about them making two entire Halo campaigns
this copium is getting old
no vehicles for you, sorry
would be piss easy to automate, make it dynamic and even have special events here and there, like for example if they reach super earth but since it just released i expect the devs to be tinkering with it a lot, eventually it will be more hands off
Is literally a win or lose and we'll get mechs no matter what. They probably have a branching chain for the next few wars, it's not that complex. This frickin homosexual trying to act like the smartest person in the run over a videogame. Lol
>I feel like its its intentionally overtuned for narritive reasons
Just look at how the drop ships glitch all over the place, it has to be bugged. Unless the glitchy nature of the dropships is just a side effect of them fricking with the dropship spawns to make it impossible.
They control when events start and can alter the takeover/contribution rates.
The defense missions are going breasts up because they're way overtuned and everyone is failing. Dropships come with the strongest units allowed on your difficulty at a rate of about 1 per 15 seconds per person
nice conspiracy theory
Literally cannot defend because the extract missions are bugged.
We'd be raping them if the extract mission wasn't so fricked. It genuinely is not fair at all.
That civilian extraction mission is definitely rigged. Don't think it's bugged because the devs still haven't said anything about it, even though they are very quick to address issues, why would they stay silent for so long if it wasn't intentional?
I don't want kevlar armor or any of that super store shit, gimme regular Helldiver armor with bandoleers and battle damage.
all of the stratagem that aren't on your person feel pretty weak and are gonna be missing half the time and i only ever use them to destroy objectives, laser bot and a rail gun are pretty much all you need 90% of the time
It's a very repetitive game propped up by "it's good with friends™" and super earth democracy memeing. You've experienced everything the game has to offer in about 6 hours
>he hasn't used the plas-6
>fire a weapon for a second
>reload
Wow so you are playing a shooter game, okay, big fricking surprises there so far? Idiot?
>people never do the objectives
You play with shit people, literal skill issue and (You) problem.
>game feels really slow
You're mom feels slow after I pumped her stomach full of pozzed vaccinated semen.
>it keeps crashing
Try upgrading your toaster, (You) problem.
In conclusion: what an idiot.
No need to defend a GaaS product so vehemently, anon. Each system is unique even with the same hardware and the devs couldn't have possible accounted for every combination. So, CDT is well within reasonable excuse to not like it.
I don't really give a frick, I just wanted to shit on that guy becuse he shat on a game I enjoy, so there's that.
I am objectively right, he is objectively wrong, the entire world revolves around me anyway, everyone else is just an NPC who exists to entertain me.
Ah, fellow Solipsism chad.
>1 viable primary, breaker
>1 viable secondary, smg

just have some self control and use things that are not 'meta' for fun?

Maybe its a you thing
>intentionally gimp yourself and/or play lower difficulties for "fun"
that's not my idea of fun
yea you must be one of those darktide/vermintide shitters who takes coop games super seriously lol
i like to play games and not just drool on myself
I'm talking about difficulty 9, no one cares what you run on medium buddy
there's surprisigly little difference in the difficulties apart from these overtuned defence missions.
You need railguns to deal with charger spam on higher difficulties
>b-but I use grenade launcher!!!
Yeah, and you are sandbagging your team
>change gun
>difficulty mitigated
wow very hard elite level difficulty for elite level gamers such as myself
Fight bots you coward
sorry but im stationed on the eastern front, cant help you. Orders are orders
Is there any item that lets me mark the bugs or see them better?
It's kinda hard to see the bugs when it's all dusty and dark.
Kill all chinks on sight, they're working with the bugs.
Who here uses Razer Synapse? Does the anti-cheat consider that as a cheat?
>Who here uses Razer Synapse?
good lord get that shit off your pc
Can't, I need special keymapping for my Razer Tartarus when I paint.
"OMG this game is amazing so good!!!"
Time played: 2 hours
'Kay
I dont think their design is that you're going to able to win every single world they ever have. They probably want to add in some tension of pulling back and forth; and build up to a direct threat to super earth
>42 hours
how early into that would you say you were at a point where you're just repeating content
That's an extremely fricking stupid thing to ask. If you have experience with similar games, like L4D(2), Vermintide, Darktide, Deep Rock Galactic, or any other similar coop games, you can guess when. You would also know it's literally irrelevant. If you need to be fed compulsively new content, then don't play these kind of games.
so pretty early if you're this defensive
a true Fun With Friends™ experience
>I dont think their design is that you're going to able to win every single world they ever have.
What a stupid design. If this is the case, people will just ignore events and just do missions where they aren't wasting their time.
>buy FOTM trash
>woooow why is this not fun??? you mean to tell me the game I bought just because it's the top selling game on steam isn't good?
When does it get fun? Buddy, the fad will be over and people will stop playing before you get to a hypothetical ''ok, now it's fun'' point.
Like all FOTM games, the vast majority of players don't even have 3 hours in the game and probably never will.
Most played the game once with their friends and all they can say is ''it was fun with friends'' and then their friends don't want to play it anymore so they buy the new game that the friends want to play. They can't tell you what happens in the game and what the game will be like 50 hours in.
>surprise attack has more enemies than usual
People are whining about difficultly but the reality is sometimes you just lose. I am more annoyed people don't want to change strategies and you have to rely on people using the same shit every map, smoke/ems with shield pack lets you just spam civilians and they make it alot of the time.
>don't play it, it has chinese rootkit

you are a troony so it will never get fun for you
fotm unfortunately. nice premise but it's so undercooked
Well, yes. It's missing a lot for me to consider it a "complete product". I'm giving it around 1 year from now.
>live service 4 player co-op game with swedish devs is undercooked
Many such cases!
>play at least 50 mission achievement

what
Missions take between 20 and 40 minutes on average
if you have an independent thought in your head you remove yourself from the hype and realize how repetitive the game is after about 10 missions, anon
yeah there isn't a single game that's fun that isn't repetitive lol what a stupid Black person

WHERE IS THE ORIGINALITY
for me it's 13%, considering missions are gonna be taking like 25 minutes on average that's actually a lot
is there a way to save load outs in this game? having to pick my perks each mission is lame.
That is an incredibly odd oversight because they do have loadouts in HD1
Am I missing something or is the three slot stratagem a bug? At first I thought it was because of a higher difficulty because it happened to me on impossible but I just restarted and had four on impossible again.
Swedish game design™
Great video. Had something happen with bugs, too, where all of a sudden I was knocked down by a charger after turning by back. I figured it was spawning in out of no where right behind me, and this confirms it.
It has to be yet another bug. This is why it's near impossible to not trigger a patrol when in the first game if you watched your radar and moved purposefully you could avoid patrols.
they LITERALLY imported the patrol system from HD1 holy frick these lazy asses
If they spawn off screen in HD1, you actually still have a little bit of space to breath since everyone is on the same screen and the bugs aren't there yet. But right behind you in HD2 is complete bullshit, you can't do anything at all and can't react. I'm starting to suspect this game wasn't play tested lmao
I don't even think it's a bug. But it's annoying that they think it's a good idea. Why do we even have bug breaches and bot drops when shit spawns out of thin air anyway.
>Bots have high-tech cloaking tech that allows them to sneak up on unaware helldivers.
Democracy bros, our counter?
A nice cup of liber-tea!
drop
go to procedural objective
shoot
go to next procedural objective
shoot
leave
ok that was pretty fun i wonder what else we do in this game
oh that's it
>they are all unaware that the only reason we are forced to lose against bots is so that they can release mechs to counter them
>also this
Oh great, the bots get AT AT.
>>they are all unaware that the only reason we are forced to lose against bots is so that they can release mechs to counter them
So this is the marketing message that supposed to make me feel good about losing while not getting any experience, samples, or medals?
How about you stop being a gigantic homosexual and just have fun?
>just have fun
Okay ignoring the impossible events from now on
Do you guys use kb+m or controller? I've been swapping between them and I like the controller for movement and stratagems, but kb+m just makes aiming so much better.
i'd like to use kb+m but my keybinds reset every time i launch the game and also mouse movement feels very jittery at 60fps.
controller feels much smoother but like you said aiming is worse
Did they fix the "evacuate scientists " defense mission yet?
Speculation is we are suppose to lose it, its why the event only lasted like 2 days as oppose to a week.
Sitting here trying to get into the game to actually play it these past few days and I swear to god Im cursed. I see my friends playing the game just fine all the time, but every fricking time I try to log in the servers go to shit or get full. What kind of democratic black magic do I gotta do to actually get into the game.
Just play offline, oh wait.
I wouldn't want to do that anyways, I actually enjoy my time with friends and randoms.

Is this cross play my friend want to get it on his PS5 but I ain't playing a shooter on condole.
Yea a google search would have worked faster than asking though moron
There's something that I've been dying to figure out if there's even any info on it. So, armor is broken, and all three tiers function the same in terms of TTK. What I really want to know is what the current armor value is based on.
If everything is modeled after medium armor right now, heavy will get buffed, and light will get nerfed once fixed. If it's all based on light, then medium and heavy will get buffed. The worst-case scenario is that everything is functioning like heavy armor right now, and both light and medium will see a nerf. Anyone have any idea on this?
i think that armor is just reduces damage by a negligible amount since like 90% of the times when you die it's gonna be to a one shot of some kind you might as well just use the lightest one
People have tested light versus medium on small enemies and they both kill you in like 6 hits.
STOP RESETTING MY MOUSE BUTTON REBINDS I BEG YOU
Stop alt f4ing and close the game normal
didn't work
Is everything besides grenade launcher hitscan, or is there bullet drop
There is bullet drop
Is this a "fun with friends" type of game because I'm looking at it and I have no idea why this is supposed to be better than, say, World War Z
Yes, people who say randoms are fine don't play on highest difficulties.
A game can be fun without needing to be played on the highest difficulty
careful now you're going to upset the MUH HARDs
Randoms are fine.
I’m level cap and I play only Helldive with randoms
on difficulty 4 and below randoms are a crap shoot
On 5 and above people generally know what they're doing
I don't have any friends to play with and I'm having fun. Gunplay is chewy and the enemies get their bits shot off in satisfying ways. The core of shooting guys is solid and fun, the maps feel more varied than starfield planets, and it rewards and encourages you to use all your firepower all the time. No pussy footing saving shit, just unload it all and unload it often. You'll get matched with morons sure, but just finish the mission and find a new party, you'll be fine. If they're not morons, stay in as long as you can
I mean I still don't see how that's better than World War Z. Is it just the gunplay is it amazing or something
It has more open world missions. World War Z is just a left 4 dead like. You're not calling in constant air strikes, artillery strikes, and laying down mine fields, turrets etc. Plus there's the team based weapons. You can tell by the thread that weapon penetration is something important, the enemy variety is good with both factions, and there's going to be two more in time
It's worth emphasizing how good the gunplay feels and how well enemies react to shots with individual pieces flying off, armor getting ripped off, limbs flying, etc.
How do I get this fricking game to stop crashing as soon as my guy gets out of the pod?
lower graphics and see if it helps
i wish this game had different types of missions in different environments, like indoors missions or something like that
How's a homie gonna barely play the game, be under level 10 and then write a review for it?
The main complaints too were how there's not enough stratagems and he didn't play with a mic and found it hard to communicate
This is someone's job
because it's the current flavor of the month so you need to get your content out quick
But he didn't, the review came out yesterday
He had a week to play it
he was playing palworld
There's a reason the old game journo publications have lost a massive amount of influence to random people on Youtube.
He’s not wrong there needs to be more stratagems. But a broken clock is right twice a day.
i wish this game had more content
it's like eating beans and rice for a month straight after the first 3 hours

How in the name of sweet liberty are you ever supposed to win against that level of bullshit?
we're not
You’re not. Pretty fun, isn’t?0
Pro tip: Stop wasting bullets on butchers, melee them back.
I've seen people beat it by starting far from the base and having one guy run to it and extract the civilians while the other three kite around the map so 3/4 of the spawns don't show up in the middle
People have just turned to ignoring them, speculation is that we are suppose to lose.
I have won it twice, and on one of them people were using the "4 orbital lasers" exploit.
I won ONE so far, all four players know what they're doing, all of us had at least one turret, more than one of us had AT or Recoilless to knock down dropships so at least half of them never even made it to their deployment.
What I don't like about bots so far is that they combine ranged and melee rushers, some of whom either explode or are just armored so they become damage sponges.
Yeah it's hard, but it's hard in a way that the only solution I've found so far is to just hope that your team take enough anti-armor to knock down the dropships and kill all the bots before they even get a chance to attack you.
>see gameplay videos of the game
>woah this robot killing shit looks fun
>immediately jump into that
>try the bugs for a change
They're much scarier. I can take cover from lasers and rockets but I can't outrun the bugs forever if I'm caught with my pants down. Send my ass back to the creek.
Light Armor is key to fighting the bugs
Also once you get the laser guard dog backpack Bugs become way way easier to manage
Like armor with the stim perk would be god like for me.
llight armor is a buff already if they make light armor with more nade or stim slots it'll unbalanced. same with heavy armor. i don't think they'll ever do that or if they do it will cost super credits
its in the store right now
kek frick me its real
It's extremely ugly also, kinda want to wait for a better looking one
very true. I need it to carry randos through level 8 bot defense missions though
The same exact thing happens the other way
Bugs you get uses to just dealing with getting rushed and staying out if melee range
Then you go to robots and they're using tactics and hitting you from a distance
With bots you also have a random chance to get blasted by a rocket or the big turrets
I just noticed you can pick up their grenades and throw it back but I'm too nervous to try
Ive heard that heavy armour doesnt do anything right now, but I swear I am a lot more survivable with it, like there has been times where I got plugged multiple times and it was next to no damage when using heavy armour with the extra padding trait, yet a stray bullet will drop you when wearing lighter armour. Is this a confirmed thing?
feels like no one ever uses the EMS mortar despite it being extremely useful for bug breaches/defenses
I just don't have any room for it
GL/Rover/EAT/Orbital Laser
The problem is idiots don't know to stay away from the bugs and get mortar'd themselves.
But EMS mortar doesn’t kill so that isn’t a problem. Just dive.
I like to use it to defend the extraction position. Teammates have a hard time getting themselves blown up because they don't leave the dropship landing pad.
You do realize there are stuff on the map other than the objective right... you know, the specimens that upgrade your ship... medals to unlock more... credits for the social credit points...
Rushing objective and gettnig out as quickly as possible gives more XP, doing all the side stuff gets more upgrade materials. I always do full clears, but I understand why people rush
I do too, but congrats i guess, you are level 30+ and don't have any ship upgrade to make that level worth a damn is all
Do you get medals for leveling up? They could be just rushing to get the stuff they want
they will have a decent amount of medals just by completing more missions, but they don't get samples, which seems to be a pretty important part of making your strategems work to their fullest.
Game won't stop crashing every 2 matches. All the dicussion is rebbit tier metagaming trash instead of fun nonsense. Anticheat is cancer. Easiest refund of my life.
