Is anyone else having problems with the mech exploding while you're still in it?

It's the rockets colliding with the mech on launch

For the moment just fire the rockets while still

It's annoying but sort of funny that the official discord does this every time the servers go down

Unfortunate for the mods though. I don’t envy them having to deal with such a large server

Wonder if i can disable the announcer voice without disabling ambience do i can... do a thing

I have lost 4 mechs to it

I noticed that when you turn, the actual "aim circle" turns immediately with it
but the gatling gun doesn't turn automatically, so maybe it's the rocket

Or what I can only assume is it

for some reason helldivers keeps crashing and taking my discord with it a little after i run the game for the first time after turing on my computer. is anyone else getting this issue? i bet it has to do with the anti cheat

I had several crashes yesterday

I just got a rogue research bunker
or... fortress
three eagle strikes, 5 impacts and an orbital laser, along with some exo rockets just couldn't destroy that last building
oblique lotus
hellbomb is the way

couldn't call it in
oblique lotus
your mistake was not using nukes at every opportunity
junior badge
wasn't an option
junior badge
yup, and it was only one of the buildings, too
I expected to get there and hellbomb it, but nope
whew. Lost connection, but at least it counted that secondary as fulfilling my personal order.
Finally.

man, we might need to consider not using "dive" as the verb in voice chat activity descriptions... this is the second day in a row i went "oh wow that's a really tiny sub for barotrauma" upon seeing only 2 people in a channel labled dive
GRANTED, it's a me problem
graceful bluff
Randomly got recommended this and it's a pretty good guide on just how to survive and complete missions at higher difficulties even solo
without sounding like an elitist dipshit
(it is outdated to current patch, though he apparently still runs railgun)
it's also interesting that he runs the liberator penetrator, never really seen people use that
honest acorn
I really like that lib-P vs bots
graceful bluff
it looks like it does full armor pen on most non hulk/tank bots
(red X rather than white X)
honest acorn
Yeah damage is pretty good and the excellent optic lets you engage at very long range
graceful bluff
like sure it does slightly less damage on paper, but considering not fully penning armor is like half damage, it's still a big boost

The guns are clear in the descriptions, although this about the blitzer sounds cool:
Project an arc of close-range lightning, or charge it up to fire off powerful bolts. Good for taking out multiple targets and giving you more time to pick a celebration emote.
Charge for big boom? neat.
graceful bluff
the blitzer was in helldivers 1 and it was apparently notorious

dusty spruce
Wow I’m surprised we don’t seem to have a barotrauma forum/thread
oblique lotus
oh? for friendlies, or for being powerful?
for friendlies and not being particularly good
very high damage in a very short range that ignores terrain
so not long ranged enough to kill scouts but just long ranged and unintuitive enough to kill friendlies who thought they were safe
oblique lotus
Wow I’m surprised we don’t seem to have a barotrauma forum/thread

You only need to destroy the black building, and you can just drop a 500kg next to it.
Same with Jammers, but of course you gotta disable to jammer first.

Or, if you're not in a particularly big rush,
Hellbombs are free and unlimited
Oh, they're also very pretty

Jump pack is so much fun, I've been using it more and more recently
graceful bluff
I just like the autocannon and EMS mortar too much to fit it
I'd kill for having a dedicated support weapon slot as a fifth
pale remnant
I'm not a huge fan of the autocannon, personally
graceful bluff
autocannon turret I mean
pale remnant
I know it's a solid weapon, it's just not for me. My goto 3rd slot weapons are the flamer, amr and medium mg
oh fair, autocannon turret is very nice
graceful bluff
autocannon turret is a great tool to kill basically anything, or to cause a distraction, or to kill a base while in stealth cause they don't call backup for turrets
pale remnant
I like my airstrikes too much to fit it most of the time
graceful bluff
My layout is usually laser/autocannon, rocket barrage/airstrike, autocannon turret, EMS turret
barren warren
I'm a big fan of my dog rover
graceful bluff
Rest of your team isn't :v
jolly mortar
the rest of the team can learn to duck
barren warren
i know how to stand out of the way
pale remnant
Mine is airstrike/walking barrage/rover, jump pack/flamer, amr, mg
The rover is fine, it senses fear. As long as you feel no fear it will not laser you
honest acorn
I like having a rover on the team since it clears so much shit
With 2-3 of them it gets very hard to avoid the lasers
pale remnant
the gun one is really nice but it runs out of ammo quite quickly
barren warren
he reloads eventually
stone bridge
The backpack has a limited amount of magazines for the drone you can't reload
The Rover is the better option right now and it's not really a contest
barren warren
huh? the drone eventually goes back to your back and then pops back off just fine?
unless im missing something
rotund marten
helldiver servers are having a bit of a stroke but the mechs are here
anyone tried it yet?
graceful bluff
They squishy as hell but they dish out a lot
pale remnant
I got a couple goes out of them vs bugs
honest acorn
The guard dog is crazy good while it has ammo (unless it blows it all on a scout walker or something) but since the ammo supply is only refilled with supplies not world ammo pickups it’s kind of bad imo
Which is a shame because I think it’s really good while it has bullets
Potentially worth bringing anyway for the patrol signals it can stop
rotund marten
surprised there's no mech upgrade bay for me to dump my hundreds of samples on
pale remnant
They didn't seem too squishy to me, although I only fought bugs with them. Overall very solid, I used mine to help secure the extract at the end of missions
stone bridge
surprised there's no mech upgrade bay for me to dump my hundreds of samples on
That'll be coming soon for sure
This is basically an advanced teaser
barren warren
guess ive never been on a mission long enough to run out, or i die before it happens
stone bridge
Once the rest of the vehicles drop there'll be a vehicle bay module basically guaranteed
glacial light
I'm 1 away from eagle 3rd upgrade and I'm level 22 how'd you gave so many samples
honest acorn
I have heard that the mechs have very poor rear armor which may account for the amount of YMMV people are reporting on them
graceful bluff
One of the upgrades is definitely double ammo though
honest acorn
I'm 1 away from eagle 3rd upgrade and I'm level 22 how'd you gave so many sample...
Misc has been playing a shitload is the short of it
pale remnant
I'm 1 away from eagle 3rd upgrade and I'm level 22 how'd you gave so many sample...
stacking up with friends helps a lot, better comms on recovering samples, splitting up to clear and map and stuff
rotund marten
I'm 1 away from eagle 3rd upgrade and I'm level 22 how'd you gave so many sample...
I had two and a half weeks with nothing to do when the game dropped, also
55 more commons and 29 more supers and I'm just maxed
besides SCs, medals and making my 20k I spent on the mechs back
which will take about ten seconds with the cash you get on 8/9
jolly mortar
misc you also like very delierbately ground samples and shit for a good period too didn't you
rotund marten
not really, I just made sure to actually get some samples on the basically free exterminate missions I was playing with people
stone bridge
RE: mechs, haven't used one myself yet, but apparently the rockets are equivalent to RR/EATs in power, they can down Dropships in one go
dusty spruce
they also have next to no drop off over distance
stone bridge
And the Gatling is basically a super machine gun power wise
jolly mortar
so combo'd with the weak rear armor, they're kind of glass cannon-y for now
rotund marten
even if you can just drop it, fire it at a pack of seven bile titans or kill waves of dropships and then abandon it it's probably werf
jolly mortar
doesn't sound awful especially knowing an upgrade bay is inevitable
rotund marten
I can see it doing good on Helldive bot exterm where you just straight up wipe unless you can wreck every wave absurdly fast
jolly mortar
yeah. even one sounds like it could hold an entire section of the point as long as everyone else minding every other direction can do their jobs, too
prolly make for good advances on outposts, too
stone bridge
Do note there's currently a Significant Bug where if you fire the rockets while turning they blow up in the barrel and kill you
So uh
Stay still for that
candid finch
I managed to get the "Caught them by Supplies" achievement because a charger was injured and stuck and I just hucked a supply pod under them
pale remnant
Nice, I still have yet to get that one
One of my friends got it recently with a seaf stun round
rotund marten
I have definitely done that achievement, but it didn't register
I think it's a finnicky one
fleet jacinth
got level 20 but awkward servers means I can't get new stratagems : (
at least for me
stone bridge
The easiest way to do it is to drop an EMS, then blow up their butt with some autocannon rounds
Supply pod is a guaranteed kill at that point
pale remnant
ems grenades will be fun
graceful bluff
Honestly will give people a way to deal with tanks/hulks with primaries
EMS>flank around>unload
graceful bluff
Most primaries are still not gonna do it
Slugger/liberator-p would definitely, probably a bunch more
would also make ems>laser cannon way easier
kindred lintel
its a lot of ammo and time commitment
(for primaries)
primaries?
why does that look weird
graceful bluff
because english is a sham
pale remnant
primarimarimarimary
stone bridge
I don't think the primary metric is hugely useful tbh
They're only primaries in the sense you spawn in with them
kindred lintel
the important part is that if you get wiped and don't have strats ready, you can still do stuff
cause sometimes with armor its just running around waiting
graceful bluff
Like sometimes you just do the initial drop between a tank and hulk
which is !!fun!!
kindred lintel
common on higher difficulties
also are bile titans way more present recently? seems like they want people in those mechs
pale remnant
the bile titans sense worthy challengers
pale remnant
rocket dev didn't stand a chance
stone bridge
Did someone mention not liking the Autocannon in here a few hours ago or am I dreaming
pale remnant
Hello, it's me
stone bridge
Huh
pale remnant
I know it's good, I'm just not a fan myself
stone bridge
I was curious as to why
pale remnant
Just the feel of it? Its a little clunky for my taste
barren warren
Needing the backpack to reload irks me
kindred lintel
It would be too strong without it imo
pale remnant
Eh, it's a strong weapon, understandable it needs a backpack
its also a lot of fun feeding a buddy their autocannon mags so they can spray with it
hallow hornet
Wow the Mech is good
especially against bugs
big fan
its so cool they decided to give everyone one for free each mission
stone bridge
That's fair
graceful bluff
I can see it being good with upgrades but I dunno about fielding it once I don't have access to the global one anymore
hallow hornet
Its also been pretty good against bots as well
graceful bluff
14 rockets twice isn't really worth nuking all stealth
hallow hornet
but only if you don't intended to move with it for too long
more for like, holding a point
pale remnant
I think the non global one comes with two charges? I think it'll be real good for securing a main objective and the extract
graceful bluff
I also feel like the cooldown is a biiit too long
hallow hornet
dropping the mech on extract is super clutch
glacial light
Do the servers work now
upbeat vector
Consider: there are objectives where stealth becomes really quite hard
Like extract, or objectives where you need to stay in one place to do things
hallow hornet
I mean yeah I don't use the mech when I wanna stealth
that is true
but that's also not when I need it haha
upbeat vector
You can save the mech for those hold the line objectives,
stone bridge
Full on stealth is also basically infeasible at higher player counts unless you peel off solo, which is an increasingly bad idea at high difficulties
barren warren
Ive had good mech use using them on extract or any long stationary objectives
pale remnant
a full squad dumping 4 down in an eradicate mission is bound to be pretty fun, too
pale remnant
finally, mechwarrior lance in helldivers
hallow hornet
it was when we just unlocked them
I think people assume they are supposed to be tankier than they are
they work more or less like they did in HD1
With upgrades they'll be even better
upbeat vector
100% of mechs I have seen called in died because of their own rockets
pale remnant
I've found them fairly tanky myself, but I've been pretty dilligent with knocking out chargers and spewers with them, which I assume are the biggest threats
hallow hornet
yeah its an unfortunate bug
barren warren
I think they make excellent fire support
glacial light
That's kind of a big bug
barren warren
Holding the gatling down just works
pale remnant
And I haven't fought bots with them, I figure that's very different
stone bridge
I think they're gonna be really good against bots too, but you need to be hyperaware of your positioning
Even a single heavy dev in the open will rinse you
barren warren
I only play at 4-6 but vs bots they rule against dropships and drawing fire for an ally
limber pike
Server bad on my end 😦
stone bridge
But being able to plug dropships in one go is huge
pale remnant
Yeah, I was able to get in earlier today but not right now
oblique storm
https://www.vxtiktok.com/t/ZTL8d6urF/
hallow hornet
I used them against bots
but you need to use them for A push
rather than how you'd use them for bugs, which is closer to just using it until you're empty
do not go on long distances with them you'll die
especially in flat open spaces
stone bridge
For people that managed to get in, what messages are on the little Orders popup rn? I remember one about ALTRA and Divers needing to brush up on their mechanical skills or something
Was wondering if that was still there

Its friday night which means staying up late helping liberate planets.
Want to practice in hard difficulty i think
I need rare samples but i still feel too new to really handle anything harder
While I'd rather prioritize making sure the servers don't melt every other day, you know what would be a cool idea
Clans
quick plinth
I dont really see what clans could add to Helldivers2
oblique lotus
I want more AT
rich marlin
Its a squad game you play with friends. Being able to have your own little id tag on your name or whatever for your friend group or whoever you run with is cool.
cobalt patrol
My main concern is aggrivating some of the more toxic elements of the playerbase
rich marlin
(Apex recently removed their clans but it was a pretty harmless system, you got a cool little victory screen if all of you were in the same clan and you could invite cool people ylu liked
I mean its an online game
cobalt patrol
Also, for bots: Heavy armor with the fortified perk?
and a personal shield?
you arent invincible, but it takes a serious amount of bullshit to do you in.
Like "concentrated rtocket dev fire" or "hit into terrain right next to you"
I was surviving cannon shots just fine.
daring monolith
clans is an awful idea given what's already happening with the community
unreal merlin
subdividing the players into their own niches and cliques is an unnecessary if not outright detrimental move
glacial light
Heavy fortified and shield makes you invincible to most bots except the heavies and let's you take like 3 devastator shots depending on if the physics doesn't kill you
Everytime I die with tht setup I know it was 100% my fault I didn't stim fast enough
rich marlin
Alright if you all say so
dusty spruce
Even if clans are good or bad, I don’t see the devs adding it. I feel it conflicts with their vision of the game. I don’t think they’d want to subtract from the concept of the entire player-base as one singular whole
golden ledge
If people cared enough about clans, they'll just do it the old fashioned way, and put it in their steam name.

I really like the mechs
Even if they randomly explode and eject my body 120 meters away
upbeat vector
They're fun, if kind of unusable
honest acorn
Also @ivory swallow I'm pretty sure a rocket misfire killed me not your strike
The "what the fuck" was it launching my corpse halfway to the bugged research station
I just thought I was safe from rocket misfires if I was standing still haha
stone bridge
They're fun, if kind of unusable
unusable?
honest acorn
I figure that's a reference to rocket misfires
honest acorn
Which are pretty awful but I think you can mitigate them if you don't fire rockets while moving forward or, much more importantly, traversing the turret counterclockwise
I think what makes them happen is the aim point of the missile launcher lagging behind the reticule and launching the rocket into the cab
Or lag or malign spirits I'm not totally sure
glad marsh
the mechs were probs a rush job
Lore accurate
upbeat vector
If you are moving the turret at all, it can and will detonate you and I just lost 30 minutes worth of samples to that so I am kind of rather upset with them right now
honest acorn
I think the mechs being kind of a piece of shit which kill you if you use them wrong is extremely lore accurate but it also hurts just a little bit when it happens
ivory swallow
what sucks is that they cant put out updates nearly as fast cos they have to console verify on ps5
glacial light
So does crossplay not work then if ps5 is behind?

Nah, probably just that the updates come out later, once the updates are verified on PS5

has anyone noticed chargers being a little... weird lately?
honest acorn
Old but haha
honest acorn
has anyone noticed chargers being a little... weird lately?
I hadn’t noticed with chargers but I have noticed that enemies don’t seem to like aggroing the mechs that much
Like they seem to prefer dismounts
dusty spruce
Nah not that. I keep seeing Chargers sorta fastwalk at me or have animations not seeming 'right'

I haven’t seen that but it’s possible it just hasn’t happened to me

From what I've heard the brittleness is a serious issue
I figure there, it'll be better with some upgrades or a bit of tweaking
The firepower is still just as incredible but you need to position perfectly or you just cut down by the first Rocket or Heavy Devastator that gets a glimpse of you

Yeah I think the armour is gonna need tuning vs bots

It feels super weird doing trivial level missions. Like trying to beat preschoolers at soccer. Granted you can still get mobbed by being careless (and I love this game for it) but still lol

How have folk found the mechs vs bugs
Vs Bugs, it's amazing as long as you're careful with rockets
Vs bots it tends to explode at the worst time as massed fire, ESPECIALLY heavy devs (who i think have a ton of ap on their rounds? they do not give a shit about even heavy armor on a player) just rips them apart
and rockets punc them really easily
still a great force mutliplier, but you arent gonna crack open a heavy bot fort solo like you are vs bugs.

I think rocket dev damage is fine and all. After all, a rocket barrage should definitely be pretty lethal.
I do swear they have wall hacks or something and will prefire as you attempt to leave a large piece of cover
glacial light
I wouldn't mind them being less precise with sniper precision or at least a visible laser sight if they're going to be rocket sniper
keen zinc
i kinda wish they were more like terminators where there missiles are more of a barrage
oblique storm
They are tho
hollow plover
A tad more spread at longer distances would be neat
steady bone
they can make them laser accurate, but if I time the melee, I can deflect them back.
That's the only acceptable way to have laser accurate missles
candid finch
The best thing they could do is make them more visible from a distance. I don't mind them terrifying but they are too precise and dangerous to be almost invisible even when sniping.

Brasch was probably the last of the first-run helldivers, or an unusually long-lived one.
All I know is that Brasch Tactics teaching basic concepts like cover, unit communication, how to reload, and the use of heavy weaponry is canon - a way for Helldivers to be vaguely less untrained that doesn’t take time off of production.

I think Brasch is just some really patriotic dude they recruited, put through training, then made a deal woth to give him a relatively comfortable life while being the cool propaganda voice for Helldivers
Kimda like the guy in the intro movie
I doubt he's an actual active Helldiver, but a propaganda actor that has just enough training to pass muster with most
strange vine
He does talk to you during training, so I'm assuming he's a real person
Its prerecorded. If you fuck up any time during training (taking too long, dying repeatedly to the turret section) the facility operator is the one who talks to you, brasch doesnt respond to anything you do

I would also point out that there is a support ticket on the Helldivers discord for gameguard. Especially on "Error 114". Which is a general 'we've detected something, so we're freezing the game.'
But since Gameguard isn't 'smart' in anyway, it will cause this error for things like a computer's built-in monitoring (something like Asus or Acer's fan control/graphics card systems). Hell, the Gameguard website's recommended steps for this issue is 'lmao, just start ending random tasks until you see what the problem is'
I'm not joking at all with that, either
Some is paranoia, some is legimate concern/issues
autumn plover
I think I had that happen once also for just alt tabbing out of the game for a second lol
graceful bluff
There's a reason why gameguard is considering like, beyond a joke in the industry
dusty spruce
Yeah, my biggest complaint for Gameguard is that it is painfully stupid.
The fact as well is that it lets people cheat anyway if they just quickly do things before it boots up. Or, as seen with the mechs, if people just outright edit the game files. Which... I'm not in the industry or anything but I feel anticheating software should have some idea of whether there is something wrong with the game files?
naive dragon
Yeah the security issue of game guard isn't like... "Oh they're gonna steal my data" so much as "they're incompetent and a sufficiently motivated e-goon would not struggle to use their programming to get my personal info"
Meanwhile they basically only offer a minor and temporary benefit to stopping hacking

I found the explosive resist is better than 200 for rocket devastators it lets you sometime tank 3 rockets which is like a barrage
But 200 let's you survive tanks and hulks better
Although tanks and hulks tend to be more visible and more easily avoided compared to rocket devastators so I prefer the explosive on bots

Also, PSA: Shooting the Pelican with the mech rockets can prevent you from being able to extract
the Pelican will smoke, but won't move and won't say anything
and getting into the back doesn't do anything

Flamethrower/Shield for the bug Loadout
Why shield with flamethrower?

Believe it or not, the punisher? Been amazing for me
