Helldivers 2: For Managed Democracy!

[honest acorn]

In Enemy Territory Quake Wars

[stoic lotus]

looks really funny

[keen zinc]

You ever use the Air Tortoise in EDF?

[stoic lotus]

they should make an anti tank missile with huge fins and a super low stall speed so you can fly it at like 30mph and chase the tank around

[dusky solar]

lol

[honest acorn]

Space M47 Dragon

[dusky solar]

i'm actually curious how the armored vehicles will be

i really hope they NEVER add flying vehicles for us

[quick plinth]

it doesnt assist the weapon, it assists you to aim where the weapon is looking to lock onto

[dusky solar]

that would be too fun and i would never play anything else ever

[honest acorn]

Actually looks weirdly similar to the artillery shells in color

[alpine seal]

i see

[azure pewter]

dragon is neato

[blissful sparrow]

Planetside 2 NCs TV guided missile

[keen zinc]

I hope they give us a cargo truck strategem

That we can drive around and resupply from

[dusky solar]

LOL

that'd be hilarious if it cooks off when shot

[azure pewter]

i want 2005 subaru outback

[dusky solar]

call in the ammo bus on the enemy base

[blissful sparrow]

HE Barrage? Nah, HEMTT

[dusky solar]

run tf away

[alpine seal]

i want to be able to dive out of the driver seat to careen a truck into a bot building and have it explode

[stoic lotus]

I'm not convinced there is a niche for large logistical support vehicles in a very densely-populated 4 person horde shooter but I believe in you amko

[dusky solar]

when the APC or warthog drop

i am going to call them the battle bus

nobody can stop me

[stoic lotus]

that's ok we always called any vic with more than 3 seats the battle bus in arma so my instinct would be the exact same

[keen zinc]

SPACE TRUCKIN CMON

[alpine seal]

the limited uses for the mech makes sense when considering we'll have more stackable vehicles

[dusky solar]

hell yeah

[alpine seal]

i want to roll up with an all vehicle comp scavenge support weapons from the environment and have them all blown up by bots within 10 minutes

[keen zinc]

Nothing quite like Arma 3 Liberation driving a supply convoy from a factory to a fob with 3 other people

@oblique storm

Remember

Moving right along

[dusky solar]

EXACTLY yadana, mech spam is gonna be fucking baller

[honest acorn]

A “drive a truck from point 1 to point 2” mission sounds dope actually

Sort of like the old school extract essential personally objective

[idle hollow]

I hope we get a wire guided missile launcher tbh

[stoic lotus]

I have a whole recording somewhere of like 10 minutes of me driving a humvee back to base in liberation while one of the gang does stupid low passes in an mi-8 above me the entire time

[idle hollow]

Either tank mounted or deployable

I also hope we get a BF4 style mortar

[stoic lotus]

it ends with them finally overcommitting and crashing into a tree about 100m from our destination

[idle hollow]

Or predator drone

[keen zinc]

Early game liberation logistics is the best part

[dusky solar]

atlas, one of my friends who's a mega veteran from hd1 has a crack theory that the quad missile launcher is gonna be "hold the laser on the target" lol

so maybe we'll get a launcher kinda like what you want

[keen zinc]

Mah

Nah

[idle hollow]

HL2 style?

[keen zinc]

It's gonna be heat seeking

[dusky solar]

he says it was heat seeking in hd1

but he thinks it'll be different in hd2

[honest acorn]

That’s possible

[keen zinc]

Nah, I think it'll be the same because it'll be a great anti air weapon

And we have flying targets now

[dusky solar]

but that's the thing, we're getting the stinger

[keen zinc]

Good point

[idle hollow]

damn this game has all the cool rocket launchers

a carl gustav, an m202 flash, LAWs and stingers

and a spartan laser

[dusky solar]

lmao

it probably helps that many of the weapon designers are native swedes

sweden has some kind of modified conscription

[keen zinc]

If they're swedes where is the Redeye

[stoic lotus]

sweden also make a lot of rocket/missile launchers

[idle hollow]

like the carl gustav lol

[stoic lotus]

and the NLAW

[dusky solar]

amko, my bet is the stinger will be the redeye

[idle hollow]

bofors is swedish after all

[dusky solar]

bofors is swedish??

[idle hollow]

i think so yea

[dusky solar]

i thought it was british lmfao

no i'm not doubting you

[stoic lotus]

nah we are just friends with them

[idle hollow]

owned by BAE

[dusky solar]

i don't know very much about filthy ground pounder weapon systems

[stoic lotus]

they designed the NLAW and we made it

[blissful sparrow]

i want a deployable oerliken flak gun, like the HMG emplacement

[idle hollow]

a deployable flak would be rad

[dusky solar]

is this the first infantry game i've ever enjoyed?

[idle hollow]

it is for me

because it's arcadier than squad or arma

[dusky solar]

but firmer than like, CoD?

[idle hollow]

and i havent tried EDF

or battlefield

[dusky solar]

THE E

D

F

DEPLOYYYYYYS

[idle hollow]

we are the valiant

[dusky solar]

😂

[sinful bay]

Knowing Superheart they will paint this black and yellow and give us this

[idle hollow]

i fucking hope so dude

[dusky solar]

there are never enough technicals

[idle hollow]

the barely running hilux with a rocket pod AGS plamya and guy with an RPG

[dusky solar]

flamethrower technical, to pair with the flamethrower rover dog

[blissful sparrow]

Technically true

[dusky solar]

the BEST kind of true?

honestly a flamethrower guard dog would be SO much fun

[sinful bay]

How does that even go above the 30km/h mark

[idle hollow]

honestly the warthogs in halo are distant relatives to the technicals

[keen zinc]

I am biting you

[dusky solar]

mizu you just point the gun backwards and pull the trigger

[blissful sparrow]

aim backwards

[idle hollow]

i need it so bad...

[dusky solar]

😂 kinky

[idle hollow]

my precious gauss hog...

[dusky solar]

gauss warthog best warthog

do any of you know halo lore? if so: why didn't more gauss hogs show up?

[keen zinc]

Well you see though out the whole trilogy

Humanity is actually fucking losing

[sinful bay]

So that's what the RPG guy is for

[keen zinc]

Losing bad, constantly on the back foot and fighting for their lives

So high end stuff is largely scarce except what Spartans can get given

[dusky solar]

oh speaking of halo season 2 on paramount was quite good

solid 6.5/10

which is also about what i thought of the first season

[sinful bay]

'quite good'
'6.5'

[dusky solar]

XD

hey i was anticipating a 4/10 "this makes basically no sense"

[stoic lotus]

halo season 1 was like a 3/10 for me and 2/10 is something I just wouldn't watch

[sinful bay]

'that was the best shit i ever saw in my life'
'7.8'

[keen zinc]

So the reason more advanced stuff doesn't show up is because humanity is doing it's fucking best to survive

[stoic lotus]

I was basically just watching it because of inertia after like episode 3

[dusky solar]

i want to give season 2 a 7/10 but parangosky makes me roll my eyes. i love her actress who is playing the shit out of the role but the writing is liquid ass for her

i loooooooved the shady unsc and oni stuff

but then they made her so dumb

[stoic lotus]

is it all out yet

[sinful bay]

That reminds me how I just
hope the 40k series is at least fun and don't butcher the lore

[dusky solar]

also they like backtracked kai's EXCELLENT arc from season 1

[quick plinth]

helldivers?

[heady halo]

6 is good! down with overinflated videogame reviews

[dusky solar]

helldivers T_T

[keen zinc]

Does space Martin kiss the blue girl

[dusky solar]

speaking of lore

have there been any voice lines in game about the cloaked ships

[sinful bay]

Yes,
The Machinima official Helldivers series will be great I heard they have some great actors there like Chaplim

[dusky solar]

and what has super earth command said about the new bots?

[heady halo]

the only even potential reference is the "bots were communicating with something outside the zone" text from the major order complete update

[sinful bay]

From 0 to 10 grade Shadow the Hedgehog for PS2

[keen zinc]

[heady halo]

never played it, we should take this to videogame

[sinful bay]

it's important

fair, and fair
Mostly to know what you feel is a 6

[dusky solar]

i hope arrowhead's staff have time to like

recover

it seems like they've been in full sprint

INSIDE OF THE VIDEOGAME INDUSTRY

[sinful bay]

Agreed, sooner or later they will have to calm down

[dusky solar]

which already has terrible crunch

[honest acorn]

I expect things are settling down now that there isn’t a “constant server blowout” and a bunch of exotic new bugs and crashes from the game hitting the wilds

Arrowhead has I think been pretty disciplined about sticking to scheduled releases and patches

Which ought to reduce crunch I’d hope

[dusky solar]

def. OH also did anyone shed a small tear of joy seeing 180,000 people out of 210,000 on one planet last night

that was glorious

[honest acorn]

That was wild

[tall nova]

Bofors deez nutz

[dusky solar]

i think that the people playing on creek were there mostly because there's no indicator of paths between planets

i don't think seeing supply lines is necessary

but there needs to be some indicator that shows people where to go

especially given that people are gonna be like "but we can literally fly any direction in space"

so if two planets look adjacent... it seems like you should be able to go from one to the other

[sinful bay]

The YXZ Axis are just simplified on map

[keen zinc]

I think AH has a huge amount of finished content already for their release schedule

So I don't think they're actually crunching

They actually made stuff ahead of time for their live service game

[dusky solar]

hope not

[keen zinc]

Cough cough FatShark Cough cough

[dusky solar]

ALSO okay, i wish AH would be more consistent and post all changes to player gear

[sinful bay]

Fatshark is like Bethesta:
"don't play on release otherwise you will have a very buggy/lacking experience"

[keen zinc]

Yeah their patch notes need to be better

[dusky solar]

but having new enemies and stuff be unannounced

that's cool

[sinful bay]

it's for the jumpscare factor :3

[dusky solar]

i really like the surprise factor of new stuff showing up

i'd take our current state of lackluster notes, forever, over full documentation of everything

but i'd still rather see it improved

[honest acorn]

I would like to see supply lines/lines of control on the map yeah

It’d be cool looking if nothing else

[dusky solar]

i'm worried that would be super cluttered mostly

[jolly mortar]

I think it'd be fine if it was limited to the intended storyline push

[sinful bay]

At least they aren't doing shadow nerfs like Valve loves doing it

[honest acorn]

I think little lines wouldn’t be too intrusive

[jolly mortar]

give people a suggestion of an idea where the helldiver force is focusing the bulk of their strength in-canon

[dusky solar]

yeah. but like if there's too many lines... some people are gonna get really really into "no we have to go down this route!"

idk i feel like seeing the paths is gonna maybe make the community toxic

vs how nice it is now

[keen zinc]

I hope the APC is amphibious

I want the true ground pounder experience of amphibious assault against machine guns

[dusky solar]

XD the mechs can swim all the water that can spawn

right?

[keen zinc]

I think so

Rivers anyway

[dusky solar]

also cyan like, perrrrrrsonally i think i'd want to see all the lines on the map

but like what if it makes people even more stubborn assholes

people already abduct bug players to bot worlds lmao

[honest acorn]

Wait what?

[keen zinc]

I haven't fought the bugs in a while

[honest acorn]

How’s that work?

[dusky solar]

Haha, just like the pic

[honest acorn]

Make a bug lobby and then switch it up on people?

[dusky solar]

Yup

[honest acorn]

Lmao

[dusky solar]

Probably just terminally online redditors

[keen zinc]

Can someone test if the X-03 helmet still turns pitch black whenever you step in mud

I want to wear my egg dog helmet

[jolly mortar]

I'm kind of hoping the rapid toppling of malevelon signals the devs have noticed players kind of railroading each other and they're gonna start taking a heavier hand about it.

because the creek going from contested since launch to liberated in a night feels like them going 'alright yeah the meme's run its course'

[honest acorn]

I think that had something to do with there being like 8x as many players on it

[dusky solar]

Yeah haha

Wooooo soon i shall be home, then i've got homework, then hosing down some dishes, then HELLDIVING

Lmao

[keen zinc]

I really hope the helmet is fixed

[quick plinth]

honestly

the devs can do whatever they want with the game

seeing how they can change the rate of capture- decapture ect

[stoic lotus]

lol you made it your pfp

[quick plinth]

they can steer us basically in any direction

[azure pewter]

the theroretical glory of helldivers brdm2, funny hidden lil wheels guy my beloved

[keen zinc]

Yes

It's my favorite helmet and I'm mad it has broken dirt regions

Can't take it anywhere without it turning pitch black immediately

[idle hollow]

they're getting their asses kicked throughout the whole original trilogy

reach was bad

like, REALLY bad

[idle hollow]

it's like if the triple entente lost verdun and the somme

[dusky solar]

Lmao these charge meters

[idle hollow]

or the US lost the battle of the midway and okinawa

[keen zinc]

Lmao I got a transphobe banned from Reddit

[idle hollow]

based?

[dusky solar]

Based

[keen zinc]

[dusky solar]

Not even a "?"

[idle hollow]

ok true

im too used to putting a ? on the end

[dusky solar]

XDD

Oh fair

Sry didn't know the meme

[keen zinc]

We stay winning, chat

https://www.rxddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/QgnD113eoW

The only tier list that matters

[heady halo]

<@&1206091872716595200> anyone wanna dive?

[cobalt patrol]

SooonTM

like give me 5-10 minutes?

Just finishing up breaking my fast and other morning things

[heady halo]

👍 ill see if i can join an in progress otherwise will wait around

[keen zinc]

I don't wanna work I wanna play Helldivers

[heady halo]

we salute your sacrifice, amko

(gonna throw some laundry int he machine, might be a minute zombie)

[keen zinc]

People are saying the AMR actually hits it's crosshair now

This makes me big interested if true

If I can wear my helmet and use the anti materiel rifle I am a happy camper

[quick plinth]

I've been trying and uh

yknow how I use a centre dot?

I didn't notice much improvement

[cobalt patrol]

It's all good

I'm still sorting some stuff out

[keen zinc]

Hmst

https://www.rxddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/vgUhwYvuYy

Tremors enjoyers will get a kick out of this

[cobalt patrol]

Noice.

[heady halo]

hell yeab

[merry cosmos]

I just realized we got liberated malevelon creek on April 1st

[keen zinc]

Immediately on the defense the next day

[heady halo]

damn i was too late

[merry cosmos]

Only to win it back near immediately

[heady halo]

guess ill just do some solo

[hazy oriole]

anyone down to farm super creds
or hell just play together

[cobalt patrol]

@heady halo sorry!

@heady halo actually, you picked a good time, we just all got killed by steam update day

[hazy oriole]

ohhh, so that's why i just got disconnected

[heady halo]

notcha fault penguin

[granite rivet]

yeah ikr

[heady halo]

and lmao

i might just head to bed

nearly midnight here

[cobalt patrol]

Yeah, i think that's a good plan

[hazy oriole]

zombie, if you're still down to do super cred farming later i'm up for it
if you're busy now tho that's cool

[graceful bluff]

I'd be up for some

[granite rivet]

this feels good considering i have most of the super store armors and the new battle pass should be coming out sometime this week?

[keen zinc]

Thursday next week

[hazy oriole]

activity 2 good? i'll send my steam friend code in here in a sec

[graceful bluff]

send me yer ingame instead

[dusky solar]

https://tenor.com/view/superb-cobra-commander-gi-joe-a-real-american-hero-arise-serpentor-arise-excellent-gif-17531683

that's like 10000% supposed to be cobra commander, right?

[honest acorn]

Yeah

Gotta be

[cobalt patrol]

I dont actually like super credit farming

I just like playing the game

Super credits just

happen

[graceful bluff]

Some people don't have the time to get to level 75 :v

[hazy oriole]

i mean, me too, but i'm at 840 and i really wanna get the senator lol

[sinful bay]

Me not using the punisher after who knows how long
"WHERE IS THE STAGGER?!"

[heady halo]

i think it could be bounty hunter leiah from the second starwars movie

or third? i forget

[sinful bay]

Also, think I should save super credits for the next battle pass? People are theorising it will be fire related
And fire is fun.

[stone bridge]

Based on the leaks I've seen, it's likely to be the explosive themed one with the grenade pistol

[sinful bay]

THE PROPHECY

Thank

Also
Someone once mentioned this look like a mech pilot suit
Since then, my love for this suit grew ten fold

[graceful bluff]

It's honestly what I've started running a lot

both looks great and the extra throw range is great

[cobalt patrol]

Welp. I just had to execute and kick a player in my game >.>

They were just... arsing around staying at where we'd spawned

for 15+ minutes

When i told them to move or get kicked, they started to creep foward

and immediaeyl engaged a patrol

...so i just executed them wit hthe autocannon and then kicked them <.<

you're level 46! it's a diff 7!

there is no exscuse

[honest acorn]

Strange

[kindred lintel]

I just got ratted that I was only level 50

So obviously they are not experienced enough yet

[honest acorn]

I've seen people already get near 100

like bro damn

that's a lot of helldivers

Or did it credit people who had played a lot while locked at 50?

[graceful bluff]

it kept track yeah

[glacial light]

Oh no it's Tuesday

Evil to major patch on steam maintenance

[cobalt patrol]

It def did.

[keen zinc]

They're gonna whine on the reddit about toxic players kicking for no reason

[honest acorn]

Ah ok that would explain a lot

[cobalt patrol]

Hahaha. Well, i warned them

i did like seeing their mic turning on to complain after i executed them

...then the kick went through

<.<

[cobalt patrol]

x-files music

[keen zinc]

I dont want to believe

[glacial light]

Amazing application if googly eyes

[sinful bay]

Yeah the extra throw range is fucked
Like
I see why people get so used to it

[crystal canopy]

Mulder there's just no way that a being can be made out of pure light

[graceful bluff]

It's gotten me addicted to 380's too

[sinful bay]

he happi

[glacial light]

It keeps getting better

It kind of looks like the front tan part is a mask

Like you can pull it up and there's either a silly guy or a eldritch horror underneath

[keen zinc]

Yeah it's not really a helmet

It's a sci fi ballistic mask

I hope the dirt regions are fixed

I want to wear it again

This is a highly annoying bug

You step on mud or oil and your helmet turns pitch black

[honest acorn]

weird

[keen zinc]

It's a really annoying bug

It used to happen to the Enforcer helmet iirc

[kindred lintel]

||https://www.rxddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1bu2ut4/new_armors_added_into_the_game_files_today_lesss/||

spoiler for leaked armors

there are more in the post

[keen zinc]

Yeah I hear some are "sleeveless" but I don't believe it because we don't pick a skin color or anything

[honest acorn]

I wonder if that's just placeholder asset weirdness

[keen zinc]

Would be hilarious if they made everyone dark skinned just to piss off the fash in the community

[honest acorn]

Would fit with the ship crew haha

[keen zinc]

People already got mad about the democracy officer and other ship crew

[graceful bluff]

||The first one of those in the preview is extremely 90's cup and I love it||

[kindred lintel]

I personally love #7

Like look at this fucking thing

[graceful bluff]

Somehow they made one chunkier than the michelin man one

[keen zinc]

Reminds me of the one from HD1

[glacial light]

Are there are 2 new bot enemies? Gunship and an ATAT?

[graceful bluff]

I don't think ATAT exists ingame yet

[stone bridge]

The Strider Factory is apparently in, it just only appears on very high level missions

8 or 9

[idle hollow]

Time to main 8s from now on then

[idle hollow]

this feels like saurdukar armour

https://tenor.com/view/dune-dune2021-sardaukar-gif-27013034

[glacial light]

Ooo quasar seems to have a charge meter on its back now

[idle hollow]

And on the sight too

also the side

[kindred lintel]

railgun does too, for what its worth (nothing)

[alpine seal]

i've seen a factory strider at 7, i suspect it works similarly to bile titans which can spawn as low as 5 very rarely

though given it's even stronger than one i'd hope its spawn cost is higher too

[glad marsh]

I suspect we'll maybe see it as a mission target at lower levels

I just hope I never run into 2 at once

it'll take so much ammo

[strange vine]

okay after the rocket change a full devastator salvo doesnt cause the patriot to even smoke

[honest acorn]

nice

[meager saffron]

holy shit

[glacial light]

Goodbye shield pack hello mech

EATs is available to everyone? Yo

It's my time

Double EATS possible and no bug orders sadge

[kindred lintel]

How are the servers rn cause of steam? Dead?

[royal lantern]

I've been having a fine time getting on, though I have been having crashes since the latest patch

The thought that the bot faction is basically the roster for an RTS just popped in to my head and I can't stop thinking about it. Up to and including their base buildings

[glacial light]

Like an RTS game?

[royal lantern]

Yeah

Like they've got a full roster now, complete with super units

[glacial light]

It's like a combination of like a lot of different famous machine designs from various sci-fi

Like 40k dreadnoughts( hulks), striders (at-st), new walker (atat)

[royal lantern]

They just feel like you could drop them in to supreme commander or dawn of war and they would fit right in, partly because they are such a total pastiche

[glacial light]

Imo bots have greater design variety than bugs in terms of units and buildings

[royal lantern]

Yeah, the bugs are a little same-y. I feel like we'll probably get a bug focused campaign in the coming months and I hope they add some more unti variety. Like something like an overlord or zoanthrope, maybe even one with a biological gun of some kind besides just the pukers

They could stand to add some tentacles or something to break up the designs

[glacial light]

Give us flying spore spewers with gas that do weird eldritch things

[kindred lintel]

We have gas strike and flame thrower, just give me gas thrower

[glacial light]

Give me a flame strike, it's a power first on fire

[unreal merlin]

Can't wait for Silica bugs to become a Terminid issue.

[glacial light]

Silica bugs?

[honest acorn]

I think its a DRG thing

[unreal merlin]

The one-dev Bethesda game that's a large scale humans vs aliens rts/fps hybrid. The alien bugs have some flying units that are giant lumbering floaters. One of them has a giant cyclops eye that shoots psychic lasers or something.

[keen zinc]

DRG and HD2 just need to fuck already

and i mean that

they need to do something together and take ideas from eachother

[unreal merlin]

Like this, but these things are like 50ft tall and float slowly through the air and when it looks at you, you explode

[glacial light]

If you go into a bughole it quits the game and launches up DRG

[keen zinc]

[idle hollow]

come join the helldivers we have:

• space Vietnam (malevelon)
• space Verdun (draupnir)
• space Afghanistan (durgen)
• space Iraq (erata)
• space Siberia (heeth)
• space Okinawa (Turing)
• the first area of death stranding (draupnir also)
• hell (hellmire)

I THINK THE HELMET WAS FIXED

[unkempt river]

<@&1206091872716595200> I've got 60 minutes and a burning hatred of the enemies of democracy.

[gusty heron]

Are you still looking for people? I would be up for managing some democracy.

[unkempt river]

we're in HA

[keen zinc]

YAY

@gusty heron can you hear me

[gusty heron]

I cannot

[keen zinc]

can yoiu hear hades

[gusty heron]

There is definitely something screwy happening on my end, I may reboot and try again

Nay

Fixed it

[keen zinc]

yes

[civic apex]

https://youtu.be/NdqrM_rhoPI

[glacial light]

Really i'm surprised the sickle wasn't touched at all

[civic apex]

thats becuase its good

ALso ARC THROWEEEEERRRR

less range, more stagger

and always 1 second charge time

so gunships are a side objective now

they have a platform they keep going back too

[ionic holly]

Mhm, it also fabricates them

[unreal merlin]

Indeed. They get vibe checked by the Quasar thankfully.

[ionic holly]

Or spear in my case

[glacial light]

Having a chance to read the patch, fire damage got buffed again?! It sounds like instant kill to a flamethrower or scorche

[civic apex]

The Factory Strider.

[ionic holly]

I crave the chance to fight one

[civic apex]

it appears on high high difficulty

like 9 I think

[ionic holly]

Pain

[civic apex]

yeah its a shame

[glacial light]

Give me an option to stagger it and a prompt to climb on it's back so I can throw a grenade in it's weakpoint vent at the top

[ionic holly]

Ive seen pictures/clips of it on 8 so it might just be red difficulty in general

[glacial light]

Idk if it has a weakpoint vent on it's top but it should

Hmm I wonder if incindary mines are goated with 2 damage buffs in a row indirectly

[dusky solar]

aight i played with heavy armor vs automatons and it's SO fun

did 5 level 7 missions in a row with no deaths and then died to getting ragdolled off a cliff lol

[honest acorn]

Yeah armor is really solid now with the new buff I think

[dusky solar]

you're just painfully

painfully

slow

[honest acorn]

You get used to it eventually

[ionic holly]

It's funny how much a meager 10% can help

[glacial light]

Also the explosive damage fix also probably helps

One less source of one shots from bots

[honest acorn]

10% is pretty noticable a lot of the time

[glacial light]

Can't wait to not need blast resist armor on bots to tank

Tanking with heavy stim armor seems great

If they ever add Helldivers upgrades I would want one that's like armor auto stim, you can stim even when ragdolling and it cannot be interuptted once administered

[stone bridge]

Specifically, the tick damage

So the initial damage dealt by the flamer hasn't changed

Just the dot

[honest acorn]

I think there’s still some weirdness with dots and hosting

[glacial light]

The DoT kills a helldiver pretty quick still I think, like 2 seconds pre buff?

[glacial light]

Yea only host can deal fire DoT iirf

[honest acorn]

I think the biggest winner of the fire dot buff might be the incendiary breaker

Since it has relatively poor direct damage

[glacial light]

And incendiary breaker got a 33% damage buff too directly

[honest acorn]

I think it’s less consistent than that and has something to with connection quality to the host

[ionic holly]

also man

mild up coming armour spoilers but

|| with the current armour leaks around, the fact we haven't seen a single heavy engineering kit armour is saddening, yet we're getting another light and 3 more mediums||

[rare nymph]

Man, fortified commando + ballistic shield is really fun

Become unkillable

[keen zinc]

AMR is still off

But it feels useable

[kindred lintel]

Counter sniper has the same scope, but feels usable

[honest acorn]

<@&1206091872716595200> anyone got time for a few in a few mins?

[undone veldt]

https://vxtwitter.com/Mr_Rebs_/status/1775172332484432190?s=19

[forest crater]

The bright ass lights glaring at you like that is honestly badass

[glacial light]

Does it only see with those lights?

So could you sneak past that?

[unreal merlin]

Unclear. I don't think they only see with the lights but it's certainly an effective defense layer when you can't see the gunship past it.

[glad marsh]

EATs feel like the go-to for taking them out

But my god they just chew through your ammo

I haven't tried an autocannon into them but I assume it can't penetrate

[daring monolith]

autocannon 4-shots them

EAT or quasar (or recoilless probably) oneshots them

[undone veldt]

If the quasar can the recoilless definitely can

[dusky solar]

you can also 2 tap a nacelle with an autocannon

that's where i shoot dropships so i assumed that might be the only vulnerable spot for the AC and yeah!

[undone veldt]

Can the quasar one shot a charger to the head like the EAT and Recoilless can?

[kindred lintel]

yes

[undone veldt]

Alright

Are there any important breakpoints the Recoilless and EAT hit that the quasar doesn’t?

[granite rivet]

i mean, the Quasar takes time to charge, so there's an opportunity cost with that.

[south temple]

how does the quasar fare against chargers? i've not been to the bug front in some time

[honest acorn]

It’s pretty good if you can actually nail the head

And with the charge time that can be tricky

[granite rivet]

The recoilless can also be team-reloaded for increased reload speed/fire rate but that's niche and requires a bit of coordination (and sacrificing someone else's backpack slot)

[honest acorn]

Counter sniper seems pretty pogged now

[stone bridge]

I don't even think tandem loading a Recoilless is niche, it's just getting the strats down

[meager saffron]

yeah it's just more coord than you can usually expect out of a pub

[honest acorn]

2 headshots kills a devastator

[meager saffron]

but in a team setting pretty doable

even just quickly running by teammate and topping them off can swing fights because of how enormous one RR rocket can be

[south temple]

wish i had teammates willing to run recoilless backpack, alas, they're too jetpack pilled

[meager saffron]

I don't love it because I tend to wander off but I've been the loader and had a great time

[south temple]

yeah that too

[stone bridge]

[meager saffron]

and in the rare moments where you can just sit there and shovel ammo into your teammate's gob it is so fucking funny

briefly turns helldivers into kovaaks

[stone bridge]

Supply packs giving back 3 rockets now is a big W for buddy loading as well

You can fuel two full backpacks plus change with one supply pack

Also means buddy loading the Spear is uh, twice as viable

[undone veldt]

I would love to be able to do that for the heavy machine gun

[granite rivet]

the HMG really should have an optional support backpack.

[undone veldt]

It does feel like it should be a crew weapon

Just inherently

Though it’s nowhere near strong enough to justify that

[glacial light]

If you have an HMG and supply pack it should grant you an ammo belt from the pack to the HMG and autoresupply when you're out without reloading

[undone veldt]

That would be very cool

Honestly (other then fixing the alignment on the scope) the HMG just desperately needs more ammo

I know they reduced its max fire rate but that does feel more like a bandaid then anything

100 round mags would be nice

You’re already giving up so much from the normal MG having as good an ammo economy would be appreciated

[granite rivet]

i think the misalignment for a lot of the scopes might be the result of the fact that guns are like a physical thing that exists in the game?

its not the primary cause but it's definitely something that exists

also the HMG needs a better scope and the ability to mount its bipod

[cobalt patrol]

https://i.redd.it/sr2r5rgkq6sc1.png

[stone bridge]

[dusky solar]

aw man i just played a bunch and didn't try countersniper vs hulk eyes

has anyone done this yet or still no

lmao

[unreal merlin]

It might work? I don't think the eye counts as heavy armor given how AC can pen it

[dusky solar]

yeah, i just don't know the internal numbers on AC pen, CS pen, and the hulk eye

[stone bridge]

The eye is definitely medium armour, yeah, it's a question of what rating

[dusky solar]

ah imma just log in

[honest acorn]

Ah fuck I forgot too

Also it feels like they tightened the spread but not the radius of the 380 some

[dusky solar]

someone on the helldivers official discord is saying no

[honest acorn]

More shells seem to land near the middle

[dusky solar]

world of tanks flashbacks

[honest acorn]

Also it absolutely BTFOs command bunkers

Not sure if that’s new

[dusky solar]

AH i'll have to bring it for those

i threw a 500 on one and it didn't die earlier

maybe i missed

i did it the normal way with a hellbomb though

[honest acorn]

Nah 500s seem to really struggle

I’ve seen them eat 3 and live

[dusky solar]

970 SC let's gooo

[honest acorn]

380 killed all 3 on a mission in the first 10 secs of the barrage though

[dusky solar]

3 more drops pls

they were that close???

jeez

our command bunkers map was like fifty miles across it felt like

which makes it easier imo

[honest acorn]

Oh sorry I may have been unclear

I meant 1 barrage each haha

[dusky solar]

OH lol i thought you had spawned on some kind of hell world

man, maia's way more fun than tibit to fight on, but tibit needs to die so we can finish off these bots

[honest acorn]

Oh is it more important for supply lines?

[dusky solar]

according to reddit

which honestly i kinda trust?

[wind arrow]

ok survived soloing diff4

[dusky solar]

hell yeah!

bugs or bots

[wind arrow]

40 mins, 1 star

bots

[dusky solar]

sick

what loadout?

[wind arrow]

dude looks haggared

lib pen, revolver, AMR

also like, practicing throwing balls with airstrike and 110mm

[dusky solar]

100%

i'm practicing with scorcher, it still feels incredible vs bots

[wind arrow]

ok i do also have a orbital rail cannon in the back pocket

[dusky solar]

sometimes struggles to wipe patrols, so there's a lot of "scorcher -> pocket uzi"

[wind arrow]

but doesn't help me if i get chased half a map by 4 berserkers

also tried out diligence countersnipe? yeah that one i need teammates

[dusky solar]

oof

[wind arrow]

tried to compensate with MG but didn't really get to recognize situations enough to pull the MG out in time

[honest acorn]

Yeah you options are reduced a lot if you’re trying to solo

[unreal merlin]

Might recommend stalwart as a support weapon to the D-CS

Rather than MG

[wind arrow]

oh yeah stalwart is even wieldier right?

[meager saffron]

arc thrower >:)

[stone bridge]

Solo is genuinely hard and kinda warps the game around needing to stealth and avoid fights

[unreal merlin]

Yeah the stalwart is a primary weapon pretending to be a support weapon

[dusky solar]

if you're doing bots, AMR is sick, so is autocannon

they do kinda the same things, AMR lets you bring a shield, autocannon lets you bust up objectives somewhat better

and has a bigger clip

[stone bridge]

AMR was already a gassed up weapon into bots before, it's even better now

[rich marlin]

its been like a week since I played Helldiver so Imma gonna change that right after the update

[rich marlin]

was the sickle nerfed?

it feels less amazing

[shy prairie]

no changes noted

[stone bridge]

Are you on a hot planet?

[rich marlin]

cold actually

the handling feels a bit off but it might just be that weeks worth of rust

I love little details like this

its barely readable but I can see at least one 'Door accident' on there

[stone bridge]

Teleportation?

[rich marlin]

and I believe 'Hull breech' for one as well?

[stone bridge]

👀

[rich marlin]

that's two of them btw

[unkempt river]

As someone who has used it a bunch both before and after the patch, I don't think they changed anything.

Or if they did, it was so small I didn't notice

[rich marlin]

Engine incident for the second to last

[shy prairie]

i do believe one of those is WARDROBE MALFUNCTION

[rich marlin]

Fire extinguisher incident

[shy prairie]

Holotable incident is curious

[rich marlin]

the very first is Hellpod maintenance accident

[honest acorn]

Cold planets reduce RoF

[modest fiber]

looked the new patches updates, i am pleased

[strange vine]

My friend used the laser cannon and it melted the gunships too

[honest acorn]

Spear 1 shots them but no one is surprised haha

[modest fiber]

yea it does, if you hit the engine.. which is up to the lock-on

[dusky solar]

I still don't blame the creekers for that really

Imo there's a big lack of info for casual players to look at and think "oh i ought to be on X planet to get to Y, instead of Z"

[modest fiber]

i understood that reference

[rich marlin]

I just head a propaganda annoucement that can be summed up as 'wanna contribute to the war? Why not go to the protein vats (or something I wasn't totally listening til this came up). Remember, winning is more important than living."

and I'm like ?!!!?!?

[modest fiber]

seems about right

i mean thats what they do to old/dying people

[rich marlin]

its par for the course for Helldivers but that is one hell of thing to just randomly hear while I scroll through the warbonds (the intended experience)

[cobalt patrol]

It's about if you're no longer productive, why nort sign up for an early trip or similar

[idle hollow]

okay so

helldive choir does not play for the factory striders

this means we're going to get something bigger than those

and that scares me

[unreal merlin]

I won't rest until we're fighting giant machines worthy of being included in Earth Defense Force 6.

[idle hollow]

time to fight an earthmover

[hollow plover]

Can't wait wait gor them to add Slam-Storage to hd2

[verbal summit]

The gunships feel so scary when you're on the ground and you suddenly see the spotlight on your location

But then I just quasar:3

[unreal merlin]

It's not so bad right now because there's a free EAT-17 stratagem available. EVERYONE gets rockets.

Oh nasty

[heady halo]

ooo airburst fragmentation

[daring monolith]

Will be interesting to see how it works when there’s not aerial targets on a map

[cobalt patrol]

Please don't.

[stoic lotus]

this is not war, this is pest control!

[hexed steeple]

it's a pretty normal anti-air weapon, please don't make light of war crimes by using the term like this

[modest fiber]

the what?

[stoic lotus]

I did not apply critical thinking skills but yeah that's standard anti-air fare

[cobalt patrol]

The factory striders.

[heady halo]

👍 thanks for catch (on me bein a dipshit)

[modest fiber]

i have been away for one day and they coming up with this.. oh boy

[south temple]

man i hope that thing turns hordes on the ground into glue

anti air is based but i want to watch soft targets disappear

[sinful bay]

I hope to see Cargonia in my ship soon o7

[cobalt patrol]

Bugs are just ... kidna vboring after all the bots i've ben doing

[tiny flume]

Yeah we should just leave them alone

They aren't hurting anyone anyway

(chitter chitter)

[stoic lotus]

this channel has been reported to the democracy officer

[tiny flume]

If I'm hearing correctly, Sickle was just nerfed. Is it still worth getting?

[stoic lotus]

I didn't hear anything about sickle nerfs

[tiny flume]

Oh was it the other one?

[cobalt patrol]

The only weapon that ate a nerf was the Slugger

[strange vine]

neither sickle nor scythe have been touched

[cobalt patrol]

and it's stilkl the slugger, it just doesnt stagger things much

[tiny flume]

My bad then

Gonna get myself a Sickle

[barren iron]

has the gunship dropped?

[tiny flume]

Oo we get a free cape

[cobalt patrol]

That's just automatom propaganda.

[barren iron]

oh

I thought they had

sad

[cobalt patrol]

||There's two new enemies in bot missions.||

[barren iron]

TWO

[cobalt patrol]

||FActory Strider and Gunships||

[barren iron]

||Gunship and which other one?||

[glad marsh]

||the factory walker, their biggest unit||

[barren iron]

||As in, actually encounterable or just shown?||

[glad marsh]

||you can encounter them||

||gunship factories are hell to take out if your team can't coordinate||

||the factory walker is about as durable as a bile titan, maybe a bit moreso. I haven't actually killed one myself so I'm not sure||

[tiny flume]

||I hear you need to hellbomb the gunship ones||

[barren iron]

they dont seem to be as rare as biles

[sinful bay]

Projectile corroding vomit, the enemy...

[hexed steeple]

||500kg might also do the trick. it'll generally explode anything a hellbomb can. also why are we whispering||

[sinful bay]

Cuz new ||enemies|| jumpscaring unaware players is fun

[glad marsh]

||the game gives you a hellbomb for it. I've got no clue if 500KG does it but I'm fairly certain it's a rough hellbomb equivalent so I hope it does. It makes things far easier when the gunships don't just spawn and shoot the thing that's supposed to blow them up ||

[strange vine]

its waaaaaaay tougher, given it can tank almost an entire orbital laser and a 500kg bomb dropped directly on it, and unlike bile titans the laser was actually hitting it most of the time

[strange vine]

my group has tried 500kg bombs multiple times dropped on top of it, didnt work

[glad marsh]

Oh no

[cobalt patrol]

I seem to be consitently crasahing on extract if i'm not the host

[glad marsh]

https://youtu.be/bVcaC7x7xBU?si=mCOsKox-9dt_Qfnn

[craggy lagoon]

Shit this still happening? Same thing happened to our group. Everyone but the host crashed on extract

We did seem to get all the rewards though

[sinful bay]

At least that

[tiny flume]

Hasn't happened to me but could be a hardware thing

[craggy lagoon]

Could be, I have a 3090 but an older cpu

[tiny flume]

How good it is isn't always a factor

Random stuff can sometimes just not work

[craggy lagoon]

Alright time to go back to my rock solid voodoo cards

[orchid pulsar]

<@&1206091872716595200> anyone down?

[sharp crater]

yeah Im down

[unkempt river]

once the hot fix is downloaded, yes

Ope, there it goes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkKMphILy70&ab_channel=BadHairlineProductions'

[craggy lagoon]

Hey how do you guys share friends codes to play together?

[unkempt river]

Usually just reading out the thing

[dusky solar]

I like the new gunships

But imo they're way too fragile? Like even with middling autocannon aim they go down to 4 direct body shots or 2 to a nacelle

[graceful bluff]

huh I didn't get the creek cape

[dusky solar]

They said it'll take a while 😄

No worries

[graceful bluff]

someone on another discord got it already though

[dusky solar]

Yup, i'm not concerned though

[glacial light]

1 day shipping hasn't been invented in Helldivers post office yet

[heady halo]

theres a button you click to generate a friend code on the social screen, then you give it to someone else
they put it into the search box, and search
they then click on the person then send a friend request
then when the other person goes into their social screen and accepts the request, either they invite the friending player to the game by clicking on their profile in the social page or the friending player clicks "join game" on their new friend

there is a few steps

[dusky solar]

You know what woulda been a better way to nerf slugger? Give its stagger falloff

Let it stagger things up close so it still punches brood commanders when they get too close, but not so that it can stunlock devs at range. I think that woulda been reasonable

Anyway dilligence cs: tested!

Can't pen hulk eyes

Is pretty good vs berserker tummies

[cobalt patrol]

Playing more with it into bugs, the Slugger does feel a little over nerfed, but like, it's still a monster weapon if you're precise

[dusky solar]

Def. Sickle and breaker still outclass it vs bugs but imo they did before as well

[unkempt river]

It also still pops Dev Heads like Odesseus's business.

[graceful bluff]

It's just not a master of all trades anymore

and people are crying bloody murder over this

[dusky solar]

Like i said yesterday they nerfed the one thing i used it for, staggering stuff. Maybe i'll try liberator concussive

That staggers everything right?

[honest acorn]

briefly but yes

downside is very poor damage

the regular punisher also has extremely high stagger

[dusky solar]

Yeah, not at range though, right?

Also i had a really fun bot 5 last night with a brand new level 7 lol

When they died i swapped my scorcher for their liberator and they had so much fun lmao

[stoic lotus]

may I introduce you to: punisher

[dusky solar]

No way scorcher escapes the nerf bat, not with how good it is at one-tapping bots, headshotting devastators, etc

[dusky solar]

If it staggered at range / had medium armor pen sure

[glacial light]

Isn't that what the dominator does now?

[dusky solar]

Yep! But not as well imo

[stoic lotus]

you said the one thing you were using it for was staggering

[dusky solar]

It has more issues with striders

[stoic lotus]

it does stagger at range

[dusky solar]

It does? I thought the pellet spread meant it often failed

[stoic lotus]

if one of the buckshot bits hits a staggerable part it staggers

[dusky solar]

Whoaaaa, okay. That's ridiculous xD guess i'll have to try it today

[stoic lotus]

you can consistently stagger loop devs a decent distance away

and the spread is pretty tight

it's like a real shotgun not a video game shotgun

what I have learned from the slugger nerfs is that people are absolutely sleeping on the punisher

[dusky solar]

But yeah being able to turn off heavy gunner devs when they dial in their aim and reset it is crazy good

[honest acorn]

have been for a while

[dusky solar]

Especially when you need to reload your AC but your teammate is in the open for whatever reason

[honest acorn]

functional immunity to melee until the ammo runs dry is nice

(it pushes enemies back about 10 feet at short range)

[dusky solar]

I can't wait to try the new breaker incendiary

[dusky solar]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-dancing-moonwalk-gif-12651220

Meanwhile berserkers

[glacial light]

Hope breaker incendiary is great against bugs

Or even bots

But I want to try dominator or scorcher for bots

[honest acorn]

Incendiary breaker is decent vs bots

[dusky solar]

If breaker incendiary could bypass the frontal shield of striders it'd be pretty good

[honest acorn]

handles small bots and berserkers well

not ammo efficient against devastators

But it is one of the few guns which handles large berserker packs because of the high overpen

(the roman candles can go through like 3 zerkers in a line)

[supple siren]

They need to buff things that aren't Shotguns

Just adding some falloff would have been fine for the slugger imo but what's done is done

[dusky solar]

Yeah

I'm also starting to get worried that the autocannon will get nerfed lol

It overperforms vs every bot enemy

[honest acorn]

If I was gonna nerf something about it it'd probably be how much ammo pickups restore

[supple siren]

At least in terms of like ammo efficiency, yeah

[dusky solar]

It's a literal do everything gun to an even higher degree than the railgun was

[supple siren]

It's wild to compare to the RR

[dusky solar]

Add clear? Good ammo. Devastators? Staggers, pens, AND headshots instantly. Hulks? Stun nade, double tap eye. Gunships? 2 into a nacelle or 4 into the body. Tanks? Anything with a heatsink? 3-4 shots.

Oh and striders just get yeeted

[strange vine]

Theyve said that both the autocannon and grenade launcher are perfectly balanced in their eyes

[glacial light]

Isn't like autocannon the CEOs favorite weapon

It's the gold standard for balancing I believe

[dusky solar]

That's hilarious and i'll take it if i get to keep my god tier weapon forever 😂

[strange vine]

Scorcher has a tiny ass mag and it takes most of it to kill a devastator, its fine

[honest acorn]

As an argument against a nerf, the laser cannon does all of this with unlimited ammo and no backpack, just a little slower

[glacial light]

Consider it uses like a backpack and support weapon autocannon should be good

[dusky solar]

It's a lot slower imo, and doesn't bust objectives like the AC. It's especially worse vs zerkers

[supple siren]

Also now that the Ballistic Shield works let's see an energy smg or something

[stoic lotus]

there was one in hd1

[honest acorn]

Yeah those are notable differences - but for an ammo hungry weapon which takes a backpack vs one which doesn't have either of those things the LC compares pretty well

[stoic lotus]

laser cannon is real nice

[dusky solar]

I think the autocannon has ridiculous ammo economy for what it does. You get like 60 rounds! Craziness. And random ammo you find lying around lets you sustain for evah

Anyway if it's pilestedt's favorite gun and it never gets nerfed i will remain happy xD

[honest acorn]

Yeah the ammo economy is wild for it

I think you get like 20-30 shots from a supply pack too

[dusky solar]

I have never actually practiced with it on full auto

Someone said to like aim down 45 degrees and hold the trigger lmao

[azure pewter]

I mean in auto you can just tap it like semi anyway

Also yea aim low and crouch and esp with recoil absorb armor works kinda nice

[dusky solar]

Yeah! 😄 i've just never tried it. Maybe it's worth attempting for like, berserker pods?

[honest acorn]

I find it pretty easy to control while crouched or prone with recoil armor but its also not really important

[dusky solar]

I love laying down with recoil armor and then clearing like 2 turrets in the blink of an eye

Goated

[graceful bluff]

Honestly after I stopped respecting striders they have stopped being a problem

they can't really shoot you if you move so just walk around them

[honest acorn]

I have to respect them a little since sometimes they just lock in and 2x headshot you in a second

[stoic lotus]

occasionally the strider is piloted by john rambo

[graceful bluff]

It is what it is

[dusky solar]

I just kill them because it's one autocannon tap

[graceful bluff]

I'm still piloted by the mentality of playing with eastern europeans and russians in dota

"If you you believe you're not gonna lose you won't lose"

Simply don't think about getting shot and you won't get shot

[dusky solar]

I wonder if there's bonus dialogue for multiple mission survival streaks

Like on diff 6-9 or something

Probably too easy to get if you lower it to like... 5

Though idk what i'd expect to kill me on a solo 6

7s i could see fucking up a hulk headshot

[graceful bluff]

Pubbies

[dusky solar]

Those are scary even on 1s

[granite rivet]

yeah tbh we should be able to see supply lines on the galactic map without needing to check a third party app.

[quick plinth]

the fire damage doesnt seem to trigger if you arent the host

the vfx is there but not the damage

[honest acorn]

||https://youtu.be/bi95vRSjylI||

Weapon leak

Is this a primary???

[stoic lotus]

that can't be a primary it's just Better Autocannon

[quick plinth]

looks like its gonna be

probably low ammo supply

[stoic lotus]

it is a primary in the footage tho

they have a quasar on their back

this just seems straight up much better than most primaries

[quick plinth]

not really

primaries are meant to be safety nets

[stoic lotus]

like goodbye grenade launcher, diligence counter sniper, plasma punisher

[quick plinth]

something to keep you alive

if you give up your primary

whats keeping you safe?

your very limited ammo wise secondary?

[blissful sparrow]

Melee

slap that Brood commander

[quick plinth]

like, Alex, I'll agree its a good utility

but it's not gonna take the place of other primaries in their roles, it might step on the toes of say some of the lighter explosive primaries and support weapons

but I think its gonna shine when you take a Stalwart or MG with you and use this like your utility/support weapon

[honest acorn]

Yeah that's kinda what I'm thinking

It kind of inverts your support/primary setup

But its nice to have something in a hellpod which can close holes

[glacial light]

Quasar plus the leaked weapon dominance, kill every heavy and med but die to a little guy

[blissful sparrow]

The evil plan: Instead of nerfing Hunters, introduce strong things that are weak to hunters

[glacial light]

Who hunts the hunters?

Imagine bile titan sized hunters

[hexed steeple]

why’s this game so prone to everything being leaked

[glacial light]

I imagine they don't really invest much in preventing leaks

It tends to be expensive and unrelible even for a company like say Bungie which is much larger than arrowhead

[blissful sparrow]

prepatching of content that then gets released via setting a feature flag

allows close to 100% uptime on the servers

[glacial light]

I imagine they use similar servers for testing the game in a live environment

[sinful bay]

And honestly leaked stuff can create hype

[glacial light]

Also they been on a grind like crazy and doubled the size of the dev team I believe so it's probably not worth it to spend any effort besides basic player security on anything that isn't developing and fixing content

[dusky solar]

That's sick

[dusky solar]

Yes exactly

[hot meadow]

This is true, but the way it wipes out your or someone else’s backpack slot is probably what makes it balanced

[dusky solar]

I think before the rocket nerf the lethality of rockets making a shield almost mandatory was really holding it in check

But now that you can laugh off rockets with heavy armor...

[copper crest]

Actually how does the mech feel against bots now?

If rockets aren't instantly deleting it

[keen zinc]

Man. I hate how much "kill the furry" "jokes" are making a comeback.

Especially worse when LGBT content creators do it. The "gas the furries" crowd ain't the target audience you want.

[honest acorn]

Seems pretty good

[graceful bluff]

That bolt action looks great combined with something like the laser cannon or arc thrower

It's definitely not gonna be released with that power though

[sinful bay]

An actual m1
That goes boom
man

[graceful bluff]

two shotting bot turrets is less than the autocannon isn't it

[sinful bay]

But that is the leaked version
The real game version is probably gonna be much weaker

[graceful bluff]

That's what I'm saying yes

Also fuck the garand give me a lee enfield with the mad minute technique

[sinful bay]

So if the next warbound is boom themed
Good
Boom is fun

[graceful bluff]

Yeah we kinda knew that already considering the weapons we knew were a part of it

I can't wait for that crossbow

[sinful bay]

I can't wait for chonky boi 2.0

[graceful bluff]

Have you seen 3.0

[sinful bay]

do show

[sinful bay]

oh yeah I meant him
wait if he is 3.0 who is 2.0?
1.0 is Fortified Commando

[graceful bluff]

oh I thought you meant the one that was part of the warbond

[sinful bay]

wait that one is not part of the warbound?
Which one is part of the warbound tho?

[graceful bluff]

The one above is a super store one most likely

[sinful bay]

I love it

[graceful bluff]

They know what they need to give us after giving us that helmet though

[sinful bay]

I can already hear it

[graceful bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/tachanka-rainbow-six-siege-lmg-gun-gif-21497597

I love my tachonky

[sinful bay]

god yes

[graceful bluff]

(Also this warbond better have RX)

[naive dragon]

RX?

[graceful bluff]

remote explosive

[keen zinc]

Hopefully

I want to climb a tank, plant explosive, jump pack away and detonate

Please

[sinful bay]

Remote... explosive you say?

What chaos it would be

[keen zinc]

It was great in HD1

Jump pack and three dimensions will only make it stronger

[glacial light]

Using remote explosives to deal with gunships

Or better yet ride a gunship and troe explosives down

[modest fiber]

our lord and savour has arrived

[graceful bluff]

They knew exactly what they were doing with that skin

[ionic holly]

Buying that the instant i can

[forest crater]

The weapon on the left looks cool...

[graceful bluff]

||It's an explosive crossbow, the most helldiver of stealth weapons||

[sinful bay]

And the helmet on the left looks a bit like a gasmask+hardhat combo!

[sinful bay]

If an Ork can be stealthy with a shotgun, so a Helldiver can with the ||explosive crossbow||

[graceful bluff]

I mean, the autocannon is technically a stealth weapon

[sinful bay]

the 500kg is also an stealth weapon if you aim good enough

[hazy oriole]

awesome, thanks

RIP my game is losing connection

[stable schooner]

https://fxtwitter.com/Helldivers2HQ/status/1775539013664821624

[sinful bay]

100%
Also, those 1,547 are eider the saddest or happiest Helldivers to eb in service atm

[glacial light]

Anyone else having connection issues?

[rare nymph]

Yeah

Btw, has anyone tried the AMR against gunships? I’ve been looking for a backpack-less support weapon to use against them

[honest acorn]

I have not but it ought to be able to kill them

I personally don’t find them very dangerous though

“Ignore them and drop the tower” has mostly been pretty good for me

[orchid pulsar]

<@&1206091872716595200> damn i wish i had someone to liberate the bots from life

[copper crest]

Unless those are just Helldivers in boot camp (tutorial)

[sinful bay]

you got a point

[rare nymph]

My problem is when there’s 10+ gunships circling the towers and they keep destroying the hellbomb

[oak crow]

Quasar might work well

[honest acorn]

Oh damn I’ve never seen that many

[honest acorn]

That’s how you get there yeah

It posts you there after the tutorial

[rare nymph]

It was a diff 8, and my squad decided to do the fuel pump objective right next to it first, allowing gunships to keep spawning

[honest acorn]

Oh yeah that would do it

They do have a really annoying habit of shooting the hellbomb as well

Are there normal strats which can destroy the tower?

[rare nymph]

Plus an ill-timed blizzard stopped my solo push

[honest acorn]

Or is it Hellbomb Only

[wind arrow]

is this HD1's report UI?

[rare nymph]

I’ve tried 500kg, and it didn’t seem to work

[honest acorn]

I’ll see about trying the 380 next time

It’s become my goto demolition tool this patch

[glacial light]

I would play but servers seem wonky for me

[copper crest]

Time to bring the bubble shield specifically to protect the hellbomb

[glacial light]

Couldn't even do a solo mission for stalwart kills

[honest acorn]

I did that once it does work

Make sure to put the generator on the far side of the demolition target
