Good thing we're not Cannon fodder like those automatons

rich marlin
#

šŸ˜Œ Super Earth's finest

jolly mortar
#

firing control is your friend, honestly.

undone veldt
#

A truly elite force

undone veldt
#

And save automatic for my mag dumping my auto pistol

glacial light
#

You got to FPS

#

Liberator is a laser pointer in FP

undone veldt
#

I really should use FP more yah

quick plinth
#

so's the sickle tbh

#

most wepaons benefit from FPS aiming accuracy wise

#

but you lose a lot of situational awareness

glacial light
#

Slugger is like a DMR with it's scope

quick plinth
#

Slugger doesn't get a scope ?

#

only a red dot iirc

glacial light
#

Same difference

quick plinth
#

not really because I can't zoom and snipe

glacial light
#

Maybe you can't

quick plinth
#

what do you do?

#

attach a magnifying glass to your screen?

glacial light
#

Little marker on the very center

rich marlin
glacial light
#

I have never used a zoom option, I don't aim

rich marlin
#

Me, every time i try to grab supplies

quick plinth
#

yeah

undone veldt
quick plinth
#

keeps happening to me too

#

since I'm on controller and sprint is toggle

#

if I were using M&KB sprint is by default hold

#

though I switched it to double tap toggle

#

oh man

#

I wonder if there will be mods

oak crow
dusty spruce
#

There are already mods. The leaks are so widespread partially because there were straight up nexus mods that swapped around strategems (for example, replacing the Stalwart with the Walker mech to get it early). Most of the things there are just reshades, however

graceful bluff
#

Good thing they got literally the worst anticheat in the industry though!

tiny flume
#

Doing a medium solo

#

Was 2 seconds from extraction

#

Died šŸ˜¦

quick plinth
#

honestly I just want some FPS reticle mods

sinful bay
quick plinth
#

so I can swap them out with something that will always show up- never pixelate on me and looks cleaner (because half the reticles have a bunch of useless elements)

sinful bay
#

Honestly yeah, at least let me change the color for NEON GREEN so I can see the crosshair in the middle of the chaos

dusty spruce
#

I just hate that almost everything has a dot sight

glacial light
#

Sniping rocket devastators

#

It only needs one zoom, the best zoom

I just unlocked it today

#

hm. The sickle feels terrible to me. Doesn't do that much and overheats so so much faster than the scythe.

#

What am I missing?

rare nymph
#

Though now I'm taking a break because every TCS mission I do is getting drowned in biles

south temple
junior badge
#

I see. Alright, I can try.

#

Also, new bug: Operation only shows one mission instead of two, Democracy Officer talks about how it is complete - but it isn't -.-

kindred lintel
#

I've been slowly enjoying the arc grenade thing, forgot the name

#

Takes some getting used to

stone bridge
#

Plasma Punisher

stone bridge
#

Hipfire is also really accurate since there's barely any recoil to amplify

graceful bluff
#

<@&1206091872716595200> need 2

#

48472421

honest acorn
granite rivet
#

I think there's some with like 50 and 64

honest acorn
#

While the scythe is a freak if you hit weak spots

tiny flume
#

Anyone wanna dive some hells, get me up some levels?

unreal merlin
#

I find the Sickle a whole lot easier to use for attacking weak points TBH

#

Have had MUCH more success using vs everything than the Scythe.

quartz cloak
#

I'm honestly amazed, the Sickle feels like the best weapon in the game

unreal merlin
#

It definitely has higher DPS than the Scythe.

stone bridge
#

I don't think the Sickle is outperforming literally everything, but its a generically good workhorse weapon

rotund marten
#

sickle feels like an excellent weapon to pair with something like a medium or heavy machine gun or grenade launcher, whereas for laser cannon, autocannon or some form of rocket you want something more beefy

#

since it has to shoulder more of the burden of clearing meat if the special weapon is in fact specialist

#

I like it with the GL, since when piles of guys show up you can blow them to bits with the grenade launcher and swapping to the GL to put out a round or two gives the heatsink time to cool down

oblique lotus
#

I like how the sickle is comically longer than the other weapons

#

it just Extends

rotund marten
#

it is huge

#

I equipped it thinking I was going to get a neat little laser SMG and I ended up with one of those drone-jamming guns

stone bridge
#

Lmao

#

I like how bulky it is

junior badge
#

huh, I just got a priority alert, Heeth System under attack

#

anyway, gotta try the sickle some more

rotund marten
#

since it really is a mop-up weapon I kind of wish it was discreetly sized

#

having my personal defence pew pew laser be bulkier than the automatic grenade launcher is wierd

cobalt patrol
#

I'm still figuring out what i think of it, but it is good

rotund marten
#

I haven't given it a real workout yet, how's the cool-off time?

#

I tried it briefly but that was on a hot planet where all laser cooloffs are pain

honest acorn
junior badge
#

Same.

honest acorn
#

Especially vs bugs it has incredibly high effective DPS when employed well

rotund marten
#

I never liked it but that's probably because I am really a burst fan in this game

honest acorn
#

It's tricky for me to do consistently since console aim but I've killed brood commanders in like a second with it

rotund marten
#

slugger and punisher being able to just blam stuff appeals to the monkeybrain

honest acorn
#

snip snip snip

rotund marten
#

slugger has an incredibly short brood commander kill time but only half of what you think is the head actually does headshot damage

#

the rest of it is like a big bony frill that isn't vital or something

#

two shots to the jaw does it

honest acorn
#

Yeah its great for that

#

I just finally got it

#

And I'm like 50 medals away from the lightning shotty

rotund marten
#

I need to get into the new warbond

#

I have 90 medals left in the main one and I'm literally maxxed

modest fiber
#

i just need 700 supas for the new warbond, then its all good

rotund marten
#

but I can come back to that after I've got the plasma punisher and the insulated light armour

stark ether
meager saffron
#

I love that dead space damage is a thing in helldivers

vestal trail
glacial light
#

Sickle looks sick but unfortunately the laser accurate aim and practically recoil does nothing for me as I cannot aim

honest acorn
#

lol

glacial light
#

I struggle with the slugger and I only have to aim and click once

honest acorn
#

The sickle feels basically like a liberator which has quasi-infinite ammo and a spin up time to me

#

Which isn't a knock the liberator is lowkey really good

quartz cloak
#

It honestly feels like a very light Stalwart in some ways

#

Oh the liberator is staggeringly underrated

pale remnant
#

basic liberator is one of my favourite weapons, it's really good

jolly mortar
#

yeah, if you know how to manage your recoil control the basic liberator is great

vestal trail
pale remnant
glacial light
#

Someone uses the Knight? Wild

pale remnant
#

you press left click and your entire magazine is gone and also you're looking directly up

#

I love it, its so goofy

dusty spruce
#

The Knight is just a really big Redeemer

#

s'good for when you want something in your face gone

cerulean sluice
#

which Warbond should I get between the two? I've got 1010 SC burning a hole in my pocket

pale remnant
#

it also has the one handed benefit of being able to walk away while firing

glacial light
#

I don't even know what's good in the steel veterans one besides maybe the boosters?

#

Or if you're a fan of throw armor

jolly mortar
#

I'd argue the new one is more worth it. the first premium pass is alright but doesn't have a ton that's like, great. besides the revolver maybe.

stone bridge
#

I honestly think you can skip Steeled Veterans unless you really want the medium throw armour

#

You can get an ultralight one in the superstore rotation

rotund marten
#

it has cool drip but I haven't really rated any of the other stuff

#

dominator is a worse slugger/scorcher

pale remnant
glacial light
#

What boosters come with steel veteran

stone bridge
#

One, and its awful

rotund marten
#

a worse version of the +reinforcements one from the main warbond

pale remnant
#

faster reinforcement recharge šŸ˜‚

glacial light
#

RIP

stark ether
#

the pistol is good from it

stone bridge
#

You get a whole 10% CD off your final reinforcement recharge

stark ether
#

is the dominator veterans or free?

stone bridge
#

So -12 seconds

glacial light
#

Senator has deceptively good AP for a light pen weapon

pale remnant
glacial light
#

Assuming you hit dead on

stone bridge
cerulean sluice
#

glad to see arc thrower safety armor when arc thrower stonks are so high

glacial light
#

I like slugger better than dominator

#

Imagine a group of arc armor with arc throwers just shooting each other to extend the arc

#

Never shoot a single enemy

stark ether
#

dominator feels like it has better control imo but very much a subjective thing

glacial light
#

Kill everything still

blissful sparrow
#

Steel Vet pass has the Incendiary grenade, which i find occasionally useful against bugs

pale remnant
#

oh yeah, I really like the firebomb

rotund marten
#

senator is good, but I personally found impacts obsoleted the firebomb once I discovered I could kill chargers with them easily

pale remnant
#

I really like them for tossing on a bug breach and frying them as soon as they pop out

stone bridge
#

I've only used Stuns for a short time but I've been seriously impressed by them

pale remnant
#

rad, utility grenades are cool

#

I like using smokes for bots

stone bridge
#

Definitely a competitor to Impacts

rotund marten
#

do they blow bug holes if you chuck them in?

#

I actually never tested if smokes did that

stone bridge
#

They don't, but I think they're good enough anyway

#

You can always take a GL or Autocannon if you still need to blow up holes and factories

pale remnant
#

being able to break up sightlines for heavy devastators especially is really valuable

rotund marten
#

interesting you say this because half the reason I run impacts is so I can panic-kill heavy devs

#

possibly stunning them is just as good, if the area is a bit wider

unreal merlin
#

Stun grenades work on hulks and chargers in addition to devastators and everything else, freezing them for a handful of seconds. You can easily use that time to line up a weakpoint kill on a Hulk.

oblique lotus
#

yeah stuns are nutty

unreal merlin
#

Or just buy time for an ally to circle around and hit the back

pale remnant
hot meadow
#

Do stuns still destroy outputs and nests?

pale remnant
#

I keep making the mistake of going 'oh is it really that bad?' and using it again and realising that yes, it is

rich marlin
naive dragon
#

Oh I see we goin back to Heeth

cerulean sluice
#

any divers need a fourth?

honest acorn
#

Maybe 60-75% even

stone bridge
#

Yeah lol

honest acorn
#

The cutting edge one is really good though

#

If horribly explained

cobalt patrol
#

Oh?

#

How does it work?

#

also, Thinking: Sickle + Railgun + Stuns should be a great b ot combo

honest acorn
#

It seems to make groups of enemies call for breaches/drops less frequently

#

Iā€™m not really sure

#

I just know you get less of them

junior badge
#

Having played more with the sickle, it feels very similar to the p-19. Which is decent.

#

I think it'll be interesting with the grenade pistol and stuns - use the support weapon as the main tool for killing, nades for CC, pistol for explosions and the sickle as your "oh shit" weapon.

honest acorn
#

Stuns are pretty good

tiny flume
#

As baby new player, what level of mission should I be going on?

honest acorn
#

Not being able to close bug holes or bomb fabs sucks but itā€™s so good for emergencies

shrewd tiger
honest acorn
#

Once you have eagle air strike and RR/EAT/AC/flamethrower you can technically do anything

tiny flume
#

RR/EAT/AC being?

shrewd tiger
#

Recoiless Rifle

honest acorn
#

Recoilless Rifle, Expendable Anti Tank, Autocannon

tiny flume
#

Gotcha

#

I'm about 2000 off that

#

For the rifle

honest acorn
#

IMO the highest difficulty you can feasibly manage is ideal because the payouts scale a lot

cobalt patrol
#

This amuses me mainly for the phone code being arrows.

#

also @tiny flume a lot of us will happily carry you/throw you into high diff missions because we're Sickos.jpg

shrewd tiger
cobalt patrol
#

and even a low level player can contribute a ton

tiny flume
#

I might call on folks to help me run later

honest acorn
#

Yeah getting soft carried through 7s is how I got most of my strats quickly

oblique lotus
#

I think I like the sickle more than the scythe

tiny flume
#

Partner is not feeling too well so I don't want to commit to anything I can't jump out of

oblique lotus
#

I think the scythe does somewhat more damage to weak points but the sight on the sickle is way better and it does enough damage to weak points

honest acorn
#

And especially with the current enemy mix even a really low level player can contribute a lot with the machine gun

oblique lotus
#

it can burn out a heavy devastator head in like 2-3 seconds of continuous fire

honest acorn
quartz cloak
unreal merlin
#

My biggest complaint with the Scythe despite its obvious aptitude for slicing weakspots is that it takes too much time exposed to actually do that. In the time it takes to fzzzzzzt a Devastator's head it's already either hit or had enough of a near miss that it ruins my accuracy.

honest acorn
#

I think its better vs bugs

unreal merlin
#

I have a different issue in that case because it too-often doesn't meet the TTK needed to actually clear even small bugs. I dunno if that's a matter of "I should be using a different support weapon for more general purpose clearing" but I have had a lot of underwhelming experiences vs bugs too.

#

Either way, I'm staunchly on Team Sickle. Very good workhorse.

undone veldt
#

How do I get SCs past the helldivers mobilize requisition warbonds, other then buying them

quartz cloak
#

You can find them at points of interest, usually friendship doors and explodey containers

unreal merlin
#

You loot them from POIs in missions.

undone veldt
#

Ah thanks

graceful bluff
#

the blinky beams of light is an easy way to find them at range

#

There's also buried cargo containers in some poi's you can break open for 2 pieces of loot, be it medals, credits, supercreits, or samples

vestal trail
pale remnant
stone bridge
#

I think the thing with the Sickle is its not winning any awards for having insane DPS, being able to kill unique targets or anything like that

#

Its just a really dependable weapon

daring monolith
#

Itā€™s the energy Liberator.

#

Same damage and RoF even

keen zinc
#

doesnt have the same range as the liberator

#

liberator on semi auto is a marksman rifle

stone bridge
#

I think realistically it does have more range - the Sickle lacks any kind of muzzle flash and it makes it super easy to actually stay on target

#

Whereas even on burst, the recoil and flash of the Liberator makes a mess of things

granite rivet
#

i like that the sickle has the spin-up because it's the closest thing we'll get to a primary minigun

honest acorn
#

It has better range for sustained fire but the liberator has crazy good ballistics on semi auto

pale remnant
#

I wouldn't be surprised if we get a handheld minigun at some point, maybe as a backpack weapon

stone bridge
#

If you're using the Liberator on semi auto your DPS is in the gutter, though

granite rivet
#

i'd like to see a primary flamethrower tbh

daring monolith
#

The Stalwart is excellent

As just. A bullet hose. I canā€™t see us getting a primary that does that.

honest acorn
#

Anyone fw the lightning shotty yet?

granite rivet
kindred lintel
#

The plasma punisher is filling a spot in my heart

#

A shit handling gun with some great potential

#

Needs practice, more than the regular grenade launcher

#

Ammo is NOT rounds reload btw, mags of 8, 11 spares

honest acorn
#

Yeah has 104 shots

#

I really hated it when I first tried it

#

I think I may have called it ā€œthe worst gun in the gameā€ in voice that even

#

But Iā€™m coming around on it

#

Vs bots anyway

#

Really hard to use vs bugs because of the splash

kindred lintel
#

Yea its very off putting, especially the fact that if you are moving left/right while firing it curves the shot (Im not playing the binding of isaac here game)

#

I started using the medium explosive resist armor and the las dog

#

Las dog deals with closer targets first it seems to do the trick

honest acorn
#

That seems like a good pair

#

Itā€™s a weird primary

#

Very support weapon coded

vestal trail
#

The Plasma Punisher is one of those Primaries that thinks it's a Support weapon and borderline is; deffo a weapon that will have its space change as we get more Secondaries

honest acorn
#

Yeah

#

Crazy firepower

#

If you can hit

granite rivet
#

I really want more secondaries

#

I love the redeemer but i'd like some variety

honest acorn
#

Thereā€™s 4 now at least

#

I think theyā€™re all pretty decent

#

(From what I heard - have not used the Dagger yet)

stone bridge
#

I think the Plasma Punisher is wild good into bugs actually

#

It one shots warriors, two shots hive guard, two to three shots nursing spewers

#

You can take better advantage of the AoE since bugs have higher numbers

#

You just need to watch your spacing

#

If you do get mobbed, swap to your secondary or throw a stun at your feet

dusty spruce
#

The stun opens up a world of options, especially as a panic option

vestal trail
# honest acorn (From what I heard - have not used the Dagger yet)

The Dagger is, almost literally, half a Scythe in your pocket. It's got 3 spare ICE, hits hard enough to cleave through chaff like Scavs (haven't used it against Bots), can (somewhat inefficiently) punch up into stuff like Warriors, and can fire for around 5-6 seconds before overheating.

#

My current take on it from using it is it provides a dedicated option to cut through weak stuff to leave your primary for more chunky targets

"Exchanges your standard Helldiver sidearm with a compact flamer. Though it is as powerful as the FLAM-40 Incinerator, it has much shorter range and very limited ammunition.

I wonder if they'll bring this back

I can test it again when I get home

But I went to bed before I could do any rigorous multi mission tests last night

interesting yea, cause i was reliably having to two tap them

#

maybe if they were close to one another/damaged a little

Maybe this is another PS5 player bug lmao

so what determines if we have inbuilt strats?

honest acorn
kindred lintel
#

this time around they gave us 110s to finish off the last two planets

#

before when we liberated tien kwan they gave a single use mech (the regular one has 2 uses)

undone veldt
#

oh its just arbitrary?

kindred lintel
#

yup, whatever might be thematic

undone veldt
#

alright

honest acorn
#

The first one was EMS strike

stone bridge
#

Actually it was the Railgun

#

Which I think definitely contributed to its popularity lol

dusty spruce
#

Is the free 110 affected by the Eagle upgrades?

unreal merlin
#

Yes, and shares a rearm with any other Eagle stratagems you may bring.

dusty spruce
#

exceptional

jolly mortar
#

alright. the sickle may not do mindblowing damage, but it's dependable as hell. that accuracy and the ability to hold down the trigger for longer makes such a difference in a pinch.

stone bridge
#

Yup

#

It's a great workhorse weapon

barren iron
#

The sickle is an assault rifle with theoretically infinite ammo

keen zinc
jolly mortar
#

unrelated: I've been sleeping on the airburst for bugs

#

the cooldown sucks but it's real damn useful on a horde or a nest

oblique lotus
#

unfortunately you can't take rocket pods along with the 110

#

still only gives you three uses

unreal merlin
vestal trail
stone bridge
#

I find Airburst is great if you need to hold a narrow space or a choke

#

Eagles perform poorly there if you don't take Strafing Run

kindred lintel

i like gas more, doesn't get angled by the map

Unless Gas got the weird nerf reverted it performs pretty poorly now

@honest acorn I definetly feel like the booster has made those Diff 9 missions much more doable

#

we had like what

#

5 maybe 6 breaches that data upload one?

honest acorn
#

That sounds right

#

It was hard to tell because we were also getting the nearby base bugs

#

But yeah it was no more than 6-7 breaches

quick plinth
#

when usually it would be an eldess horde of breaches

stone bridge
#

Okay so it does what I thought it would do

#

Sick

honest acorn
#

It seems very strong

quick plinth
#

same applies to defence missions

#

that definetly didn't feel like a 9

honest acorn
#

I think itā€™s in a similar tier to stamina improvement

#

Yeah it was hectic but not as bad as it has been

#

Iā€™ve had 8s which were worse without it

#

Tbh the hardest part of that one was the fucked up map

#

(For those wondering it was extremely icey, had like 10+ dud hellbombs scattered about, and was ā€œC-shapedā€ with a huge lake

#

Extraction was only accessible with a narrow isthmus

quick plinth
#

also the first in the operation we didn't take muscle enhancement

#

big mistake

Hm, well, the Blitzer sure is The Gun of All Time

honest acorn

Iā€™ve only used it a little but it feels pretty good

I wish the fire rate was a little higher

I understand it not being able to shoot across the map, but the hard limit of 30 meters feels really tight to me

Oh shit it reaches 30 meters?

Yeah mood that was stress

vestal trail
honest acorn
#

Every extract being after the time was up was stressful

#

But pulling off a 4 strong extract after playing at 0 reinforcements for 10 minutes was actually so goated

vestal trail
#

It also can and will just ghost fire like the Arc Thrower if there's even a box between you and your intented target

#

damn bug propaganda

honest acorn
#

Theyā€™re right

rotund marten
#

honestly besides Hunters I like all the bugs

#

they're really fun to fight and not that annoying

#

Hunters are satisfying to kill but get off me

honest acorn
#

I really hate it when a hunter jumps on me for 50% damage

#

Some kind of headshot or crit thing

#

Really rough

rich marlin

Any way you read it its either wholesome or downright hilarious

hot meadow
#

I unlocked mech and a bunch of stuff on the first two pages of the new thingy

#

Iā€™m thinking my new bug loadout for now will be railcannon, autocannon, EAT, and Mech, with the new las

#

The mech causes me great loadout pain. I want to use it, but I also want to use like, guard rover and a support weapon and an EAT and throw orbitals and and and

#

Smart game design tbh, keeps me shuffling it up - barring the EAT which I think may never leave my loadout again

like the OSHA blog

does it go boom effectively enough to kill nests?

No

OK, grenade launcher remains best girl

It can kill walkers on direct impact though

rotund marten
#

but I am absolutely looking forward to plas punisher

copper crest
ionic holly
#

I assume the pilot dies from the explosion

honest acorn
#

Itā€™s kind of like a mildly shittier grenade launcher which can hit over blockages much better and has more than 100 shots

#

Which is a pretty good primary

meager saffron
#

arc armor should probably just be an immunity

rotund marten
#

potentially fun with machine gun, then

ionic holly

unless there are a ton of arc idiots yet to be seen

I ran it with autocannon vs bots and it was good

So no grenade launcher

You take like 1 pixel of damage from everything else

ionic holly

Mhm
From what Iā€™ve heard you can basically use teammates in arc armour as conduits to spread the arc

honest acorn
#

Yeah you can hang out near your Tesla to extend its range

#

Since you only take about 10% damage

ionic holly
#

We are the range buffs

#

I canā€™t wait for the shock jock meme squad of all arc armours, all arc throwers, all blitzers

#

Probably with EMS too since theyā€™re vaguely electrical

And a pretty average reload too

Yeah but bile- beat me to it

I have not figured out how to bounce GL grenades into them

ionic holly
#

Iā€™ve basically become the HVT killer of the groups I play with

Probably why no one else really bothers to learn it cause Iā€™m there

ionic holly
#

Also having a ā€œfuck you random factory a mile outā€ option is very nice
Specially after they fixed the ammo pickup

vestal trail
#

I still feel it may need a damage buff, but yeah when it works it's damn beautiful, especially against Bots

ionic holly
#

I disagree, it one shots anything to the head/weakspot

#

What more damage do you need beyond one shot?

vestal trail
#

That's the thing, it needs to hit the weakpoint

#

Which kind of defeats the point of a lock-on

ionic holly
#

Even then, anything else comes down in 2

#

Titans are the only thing Iā€™ve seen live a second one

#

And frankly titans are
Really easy to headshot with it

#

Pull aggro, lock, send that fucker straight to socialist hell

quick plinth
ionic holly
#

Regardless, if itā€™s not for you itā€™s not for you, no harm in that

#

Point is it kinda does a shit load of damage as is, all I could really ask for is maybe some more consistency to lock

welp

#

I was wrong

jolly mortar
#

Loaded into a mission, and over the course of the mission: loaded in to find out the team had gone to the second objective instead of one you had to do first, one guy left when we got to the first objective, one was running around the map popping bug holes on his own, another was hunting for samples after we did the second objective, and I, the new squad leader had to wait for both of them to die to force-respawn them on the objective to get going because we had 15 minutes left.

I felt like a babysitter trying to corral unruly toddlers.

or the plasma one

blizter is the arc one

neat

quick plinth
#

Im saving to try it

jolly mortar
#

pretty hyped to get hands on with it

quick plinth
#

meanwhile the plasma one is

#

meh?

#

like its not bad

#

but it takes getting used to

#

sickle is my fav out of the warbond so far

jolly mortar
#

sickle might be my new go-to primary

ionic holly
#

Plasmaā€™s is my personal favorite

jolly mortar
#

as long as you figure out how to counteract its downsides, it's a damned good gun

ionic holly
#

Granted I realize part of that was due to my usage of dominator, both can kill or atleast wound ya if you shoot an enemy thatā€™s too close

quick plinth
#

people don't seem to like the dominator much

ionic holly
#

Itā€™s an acquired taste, definitely a bot weapon

quick plinth
#

like the sorcher?

ionic holly
#

One shot headshots devastators and below

#

Donā€™t think I have the scorcher

#

Oh and most raiders it typically one shots to the chest too

#

Keyword typically

#

It can also destroy walkers, if needs must, 3 or so shots to the joints

quick plinth
#

Sorcher is the last primary in the free warbond, it usually onehits raiders, and the register on target is much louder than the firing sound

#

so its perfect for picking off raiders

ionic holly
#

Fair, yeah donā€™t have it

honest acorn
#

I think the plasma punisher is the new sicko weapon

fleet jacinth
#

||off topic but annoying when I forget to switch off of bot weapons when jumping into a bug mission lol||

ionic holly
#

Sicko in what way?

honest acorn
#

Where if you like it you LOVE it

#

But if you donā€™t like it you probably think itā€™s bad

ionic holly
#

Oh no absolutely

quick plinth
#

I'm trying the punisher now

honest acorn
#

Itā€™s so weird to use

ionic holly
#

Itā€™s a shame for the devs that Iā€™m That Fucker who will find the weird or niche weapons and make them look great

honest acorn
#

Took me like 2 missions to dial in my aim

quick plinth
stone bridge
#

I want to try the Plasma Punisher more because I think it can cook real good actually

honest acorn
#

When I first used it I thought it was trash

#

A mission or two later and fighting bots instead I was able to wipe whole patrols with it before they could flare

ionic holly
#

Dominator constantly shit talked as an awful weapon? Sweet thatā€™s my bot weapon of choice

Spear being misunderstood despite its frankly absurd capability (mind you I picked it up pre bug fix)? Nuh uh

Plasma punisher getting dogged on? Nah not in my house

#

My loadout likely pops someoneā€™s blood vessel

#

Heavy armour, plasma punisher, senator, stun nade

stone bridge
#

I don't think the Spear is misunderstood at all really

#

Its just finicky as fuck

ionic holly
#

Back then it was

#

Now itā€™s not

#

Its a weapon Iā€™ve learned the quirks of

It makes me worry Iā€™ll lose the spark I have with it if they do buff itā€™s lock on consistency

stone bridge
#

It's what it needs

ionic holly
#

Shrug

#

Iā€™ve been getting through difficulty 7-8 missions the very rare times I run it due to it

Granted Iā€™ll be honest due to my main groups lack of AT our support buddy ends up sticking with me feeding me rockets constantly

#

But hey if the titans and chargers are down whoā€™s gonna complain?

#

but thatā€™s more likely personal experience with the weapon

#

Would be nice if it were more beginner friendly

#

Apologies if I ever come across as brash or uncaring by the way, I know my tone can be off to a lot of folk

honest acorn
#

I do think the spear could use a little consistency but itā€™s cool that youā€™ve managed to figure out its quirks

quick plinth
#

what is the plasma punish niche?

ionic holly
#

Itā€™s one of the few primaries with splash damage

#

And you can arc it like an M79

stone bridge
#

Splash damage, very effective against medium armour units

#

Can even kill chargers/hulks

ionic holly
ionic holly
#

Iā€™ve noticed if I hit a chargerā€™s abdomen with it they seem to die aboutā€¦ 5~ shots? Give or take?

stone bridge
#

Yeah, which is nuts for a primary

ionic holly
#

Absurdly
But itā€™s ease of use is
Very low

#

So I doubt itā€™ll get nerfed too hard, if it does

meager saffron
#

plas punisher looks like it will give me the fighting lion dopamine

ionic holly
#

Oh buddy buddy

#

As someone who knows exactly what youā€™re talking about

#

yes.

meager saffron
#

I stole someone's plas punisher and it was like seeing that reticle all over again

#

the toob

ionic holly
#

All it needs is a more satisfying reload sound

#

But that pump sound is hardly any bad

meager saffron
#

poomp chkchk

#

luv it

ionic holly
#

My favorite part is Iā€™ve learned the dumbest technique for it

#

If Iā€™m in too bad of a spot, I pop stim and hit an enemy thatā€™s just a bit closer, not arms reach mind you, but close enough to launch me away

meager saffron
#

oh my god you're right you can blast jump with it

doing this with gems was my favourite strat

No matter the game, I will find a way to explosive jump

Im trying to make the punisher plasma work but it's just

ionic holly

Thatā€™s fair

#

Ainā€™t a gun for everyone

#

Mostly cause arrowhead did openly mention that premium weapons werenā€™t gonna be absurdly strong a ways back

#

Wanted to avoid the game feeling like actual pay to win

#

Which hey if you think on it tracks, the main things that come to mind for absurdly strong weapons is stuff like the breaker slugger punisher, all stuff in the free warbond

like it just feels so bad to use

#

and it's frustraitng me

#

cuz I see the potential

stone bridge
#

What in particular?

#

Feels bad, that is

quick plinth
#

just how much the ammo drops

and I guess its inability to engage close enemies which limits its use against bugs, even though the fact it's AoE seems to be making it geared TOWARD fighting bugs

jolly mortar
quick plinth
stone bridge
#

all good

#

Yeha I think its a love it or hate it weapon

quick plinth
#

drops in the sense- arc

stone bridge
#

The bugs things I think is a bit overstated in the sense that you can use your secondary to kill stuff that gets on you, or drop stuns if you have them

#

It pairs well with the MG or Stalwart for that same reason

wind arrow
#

man i kinda wish the penetrator gets more rounds per mag

jolly mortar
#

if it had like, one more burst it'd feel a little better I think

stone bridge
jolly mortar
#

the penetrator can be good, but like. I think it needs some tuning to get there.

#

I enjoy using it, but after a bit I have to put it down because it can be kinda frustrating

wind arrow
#

i mean probably i partially need to pay more attention with aim

stone bridge
#

Oh yeah it can be but I think it's severely mid right now

jolly mortar
#

you do need to be like crack-on with your aim, yeah. but I also agree it needs more rounds per mag.

stone bridge
#

It needs more damage to make the armour pen more relevant

#

Imo

jolly mortar
#

I can agree with that too, I just think it only needs a slight damage bump. too much and I can see it turning into another breaker situation, esp if they do a clip-size buff too.

quick plinth
#

when it's competeing with the regular penetrator and stuff like the scythe and sickle

#

it's a bit

#

mid af

jolly mortar
#

yeah like. now that I have the sickle I just straight up won't pick the lib-pen.

stone bridge
#

yeah the Sickle is really the workhorse of all time

#

I don't even think its overpowered

#

It just does what you want a shootgun to do

#

Consistently

jolly mortar
#

yeah. it doesn't need either a nerf or a buff because it's just a really damn good jack of all trades.

stone bridge
#

yeah ive been seeing posts like

ionic holly
#

Plasma punisher will have to be pried out of my cold dead hands

stone bridge
#

"SICKLE NEW BEST WEAPPON??" or "finally a good primary!!!"

and its like

#

Yeah like
This shit is part of why the breaker got nerfed

stone bridge
#

The Breaker did deserve a love tap

#

And well

#

It got one

ionic holly
#

It got overhyped, people got too gungho to cram it into a dull ass meta, then it got, frankly, a slap on the wrist

stone bridge
#

It's still hugely good

barren iron
#

its down to preference now

#

which is good

ionic holly
#

Thatā€™s the big thing too like, some folk act like the nerfs neutered what they touched when in realityā€¦ not really

Railgun is worse off but weā€™ve already got so many alternatives

meager saffron
#

also they did nerf armor to compensate later down the line

#

so the nerf to the railgun isn't resulting in chargers t-bagging our corpse

blissful sparrow
#

the 20% less ammo per mag and therefor also reserve does make it so you need to be more conservative, but it still does its job, just not all other jobs too

meager saffron
#

and even pre-charger and honestly railgun nerf the autocannon and recoilless still held it down pretty well

ionic holly
#

I still canā€™t get over that charger t-bagging hades

meager saffron
#

that charger hit the griddy on hades' corpse

ionic holly
#

I honestly got on range and locked it out of SPITE

#

Iā€™ll admit I do worry if stuffs gonna get blown out of the water again, cause Iā€™m seeing folk try to really gas up the fact plasma punisher can kill chargers

#

In like less than a mag mind you

jolly mortar
copper crest
# stone bridge I don't even think its overpowered

Having watched it, if I was nerfing it I'd cut either how much juice you get in a heatsink by a little, or how many spare heatsinks you get by like half, mostly b/c it's just so generous with heat management

#

Damage/accuracy/firerate all looks fine

jolly mortar
#

even then it doesn't feel necessary, cause like. the damage isn't that high that having all those heat-sinks makes it busted.

#

and someone with poor firing discipline can still burn through them.

stone bridge

from what I vaguely remember reading

ionic holly

Having watched yours I genuinely couldnā€™t tell

I mean yeah, it just especially bites you in the ass with the sickle

And that's if it was getting a nerf

jolly mortar
#

true

ionic holly

Aye

jolly mortar
#

honestly the weapons are in a space where nothing really needs a nerf, a handful just need buffs to bring them up to par

ionic holly
#

I do feel like the plasma punisher kinda
Wonā€™t? Itā€™s really easy to kill yourself with

#

Not to mention the arc

#

Shrug
Weā€™ll see, itā€™s not like I donā€™t have backups

meager saffron
#

I doubt it will just because of popularity

stone bridge
#

yeah the Plasma Punisher is a polarizing as hell weapon

meager saffron
#

I suspect it will not ever be a particularly popular gun because it runs so counter to everything but [the gun that's in the last tier of the default pass]

#

which is also itself weird

stone bridge
#

Unless its insanely broken it won't get hit imo

meager saffron
#

not broken just deeply weird

copper crest
#

Oh the scorcher

meager saffron
#

ye

#

which is the other primary explosive I can think of

copper crest
#

CU loves the scorcher and then wound up enjoying the plas-pun too

meager saffron

but that one also fires projos with very little dropoff while the plas is noticeable even out to fifty meters

ionic holly

Mhm

#

Overall iunno, whatever happens, happens

Scorcher will also murder you if fired at point blank

It's 100% a mission stratagem, judging by the arrows at each of the corners
Probably an objective that hasn't been released yet

and had illumination flares

#

imagine being unable to see the automatons except for their glowing eyes

steady bone
#

no thank you. I play on max brightness because I wanna see what I'm doing

blissful sparrow
#

yeah, thats what i just said

quick crown
#

I die to things i already SHOULD see

teal solstice
#

I max gamma on the regular

quick crown
#

I don't want to start dying to things i couldn't have seen

steady bone
#

I actually really don't like games when they make things have True darkness.

quick crown
#

Lethal company is one thing but here? Nah

blissful sparrow
#

Noone ever wants to be bothered by a game having actual lighting mechanics because it would require actual thought, so games just remove any interesting lighting

i find it funny that the TCS progress on Erata Prime (aka hell) is very low

quick crown
#

Idk it feels like it would just slow things down a bit too much

dusty spruce
#

I'm already not convinced by the game saying 'enemies can't see you in fog either', so I don't trust the darkness

steady bone
#

I don't even trust the smoke

graceful bluff
#

I mean they're gonna shoot into the smoke

barren iron
#

yeah

graceful bluff
#

but they're no longer shooting at you

Erata prime is the Malevelon creek of the bug front

I think Hellmire just opened up again, incase you like burning fog with a chance of roving pillars of fire

I only see two hammers on that thing...does it just, shoot two at a time??

#

Anyone here have a video going over the new warbond?

dusty spruce
#

Could be a really funky version of this

#

I don't get why people couldn't just

#

not play the good planets first

#

leave that for the victory lap

#

finish out Meridia and Erata Prime first

blissful sparrow
#

Humans want to be told they won, not work for it

copper crest
#

You implying the planet with awesome fire tornados and the cool skybox isn't the good planet?

quick plinth
#

that's Hellmire

#

not a TCS planet

copper crest
#

Oh wait what does Erata Prime have?

quick plinth
#

tremors

copper crest
#

Dang

quick crown
#

I think its more that people wanted to get their time in on the planets before they rotated out

#

Which is valid because that happened with the robot planets a couple times

copper crest
#

But also now I want Graboids to exist in HD2

quick plinth
#

dafq r those?

copper crest
#

The monsters from the movie Tremors

quick crown
#

They are the main worm monsters in

#

yeah that

#

(That gif was weird on my eyes)

copper crest
#

Imagine sandworms but smaller and in rural Nevada

dusty spruce
#

I recommend watching those movies, at least some of them. They're fantastic

#

currently having a moment of confusion trying to purchase the Cutting Edge warbond

rotund marten
#

I want a big bug Sandworm covered in Charger armour, give me the big bastards from the first game

rich marlin
#

my game might just be acting up tho

graceful bluff
#

I can't wait for ||Hive Lords, it's gonna be lethal company all over again||

#

||Those are the big worms you see corpses of every once in a while||

Spoilers~

blissful sparrow
#

i think thats a HD1 picture

#

so about 10 years old šŸ˜„

rotund marten
#

spoilers for a game from 2015?

graceful bluff
#

it is yes, but not many people played hd1

honest acorn
graceful bluff
#

so they don't know what's to come

rotund marten
#

I honestly want the first game's sword back

#

it was a meme weapon but did surprisingly decent damage

graceful bluff
#

Like helldivers peak ccu was 6.7k

#

an absolutely miniscule amount of people know about the first games enemies

rotund marten
#

I just hope they make all the boss tier stuff absolutely massive

#

this game does scale really well

honest acorn
#

That was on Steam - and the game was a playstation exclusive for a while before then

graceful bluff
#

I wanna see something bigger than the above

honest acorn
#

We don't really know what the PS CCU was

rotund marten
#

I'd also really like a mission type where the entire map is just one giant bot base, the urban combat is great

honest acorn
#

It probably wasn't oom bigger than the steam ones though

rotund marten
#

give me Bot Stalingrad

copper crest
blissful sparrow
#

also: skill issue, should have just played HD1, is a great game

#

i think the sword was a primary in a special mission

copper crest
#

Haha nice

rotund marten
#

thre was a bayonet that you stuck to the Space Springfield, which was your usual "melee weapon" and then there was the sword, which was for fucking around

sinful bay
steady bone
#

I still want the sword

blissful sparrow
#

i just want the motorbike

rotund marten
#

honestly with the capabilities of something like the Stalwart, Arc Thrower or Machine Gun in the primary slot I wouldn't be too opposed to a sword primary that could hack up armoured targets

#

let me kill a charger by hacking it with a sabre

blissful sparrow
#

i want to run around with a guy with a rocketlauncher in my sidecar while i run over bugs

sinful bay
quick crown
#

oh yeah i would love a mission to fight bots or bugs or illuminate in like, A superearth style city

blissful sparrow
#

play a Kazoo version Beinhart

quick crown
#

or suburb

#

That would be cool

sinful bay
blissful sparrow
graceful bluff
#

Give us the flag as a melee weapon

blissful sparrow
#

i want this

#

Also mines made me realize something I want

Is made with trash, love and anti-logic
