depends how many 380s you throw 😂
#Helldivers 2: For Managed Democracy!
dusky solar
meager saffron
get it twisted
honest acorn
I've been using the 380 a lot lately because it's pretty much the most reliable base destroyer
dusky solar
you prefer it to orbital laser?
honest acorn
you prefer it to orbital laser?
Unlimited uses and shorter cooldown is nice, and it doesn't get distracted killing a hulk scorcher or something wander off the base
Just needs communications
Since its a 50-60 meter standoff instead of just throw it at your feet lol
And it takes out bug nests nicer
pastel igloo
i'd just throw a grenade
dusky solar
yeah, orbital laser definitely wants you to throw it DURING an assault sometimes
honest acorn
I like the orbital laser for stabilizing a bad objective or something but I prefer the 380 for taking bases
dusky solar
oh vs bugs i don't think i've brought either 120 or 380 in a good while
honest acorn
You just toss it in, wander off, and if there's anythign left its easy to finish
pastel igloo
looking slightly fucked up
dusky solar
lol
i'll try 380 next bot mission and see if i can get lucky on some bases
does it work for heavy bases as well as the laser?
meager saffron
bugs tend to not be as neatly spread out as bots
dusky solar
or do you need like 2 people to throw bombardments
honest acorn
You need to land the marker relatively close to the actual fabs since its biased towards the middle but yes
It's about 60% it kills them all and 40% one fab in a weird spot lives
But it also tends to destroy all the MG nests and defenders so its easy to finish off
The thing I'm really impressed with is command bunkers
I think its actually the best strat in the game for taking them out
dusky solar
500kg crying in the corner
it feels kinda nonsensical which buildings take a hellbomb vs which can be stratted
looking at you, gunship facility
honest acorn
500 kg used to be good for bunkers but after the bunker buffs it takes too many of them and landing the marker close enough is risky with all the gun turrets
south temple
i want to use it but the battle master goes too hard
dusky solar
it's worth a try
honest acorn
380 is just "land it vaguely nearby and hope that at least 2/23 shells land near it"
Which is good odds
rare nymph
I just got launched out of the map
dusky solar
we had one of those last night
rare nymph
Like, beyond even the kill field
south temple
it’s the new SEAF space program
rare nymph
My game is just straight up frozen
honest acorn
You're being censored because you figured out how Terminids travel between planets
rare nymph
It do be like that
honest acorn
Actually does anyone know how many shells the 380 drop?
I thing its one set of three every four or so seconds
So 20-24?
kindred lintel
~27 seconds of 380 barrage time
kindred lintel
So 20-24?
id say thats pretty accurate
probably only a 30% useful hit rate, though
dusky solar
i wonder how good mini nuke will be
as a stratagem if/when we get it
can't wait for it to have some weird tech like "yeah you can survive it if you max distance throw it with Servo Assisted and then sprint the other direction"
kindred lintel
You mean Shredder missile?
honest acorn
I'm hoping the missile silo isn't too far out I'm excited to try that one out
kindred lintel
Oh yea the leaked laser designated one
honest acorn
I'm curious if it'll be able to take them out
dusky solar
god i hope so lol
honest acorn
IIRC they are vulnerable to a 500kg after the jammer is disabled
(I usually just use a hellbomb)
dusky solar
yes, they're not toooooo tough
strange vine
automaton trooper girl im working on, wip
dusky solar
reverse jointed legs? good taste
strange vine
gonna do monstergirl versions of all the automaton and terminid enemies
i mean the automatons all have reverse joints
dusky solar
oh wait they do? i guess i never paid that much attention, huh
lol
i wonder if it's for the same character design reasons of extra height without looking too goofy as the halo elites
also i think my most surprising automaton deaths are when you walk up to an MG raider and it just doubletaps your face
lol
i never expect it because it happens maybe once a week
i wonder if the automatons actually use human body parts for anything
if we'll get like an ultrakill guttertank or something
honest acorn
Yeah those guys can hit really hard
alpine seal
if we'll get like an ultrakill guttertank or something
heavy devastator....
idle hollow
if we'll get like an ultrakill guttertank or something
it’s heavily implied from the cages and such that automatons use human brains
and knowing who their masters are it’s not surprising
dusky solar
i saw that reddit post and the 4chan greentext but i went looking for those details and didn't find much to back them up
i did find a lot of skulls on spikes though
honest acorn
Hmm idk it seemed more like they were just killing or sacrificing the humans
dusky solar
yeah

they take 2-3 if aiming for the jets and like 4 to the body

yup
blissful sparrow
oh i think the explosive warbond just dropped?
dusky solar
the official news said on the 11th
blissful sparrow
atleast there is a steam news page for it
blissful sparrow
Ah, there deep down in the text 😄 it started with "has been deployed" and got me confused
dusky solar
yup! no worries
Does the laser cannon kill hulks now?
It got a buff a while ago but i remember it being super mid at launch
daring monolith
it can get their eyeball
but it takes a little while on target aiui
dusky solar
hm
blissful sparrow
if its exactly on the eye its like 2-3 seconds, so not too slow, just easy to slide off target when it moves
oblique lotus
best done from crouch or prone to minimize sway
but it does burn out hulks pretty quick if your aim is good
dusky solar
i'm learning other weapons b/c i think the autocannon's gonna catch a nerf before too long
laser seems to do a lot of the same jobs just a little worse
blissful sparrow
i've been experimenting a bit with the spear. Surely it'll get fixed/buffed, right 🙃
dusky solar
if they fix the spear lock it'll be one of my favorite weapons by a huge margin
i love it for running around doing objectives vs bots
blissful sparrow
we did just do an amusing 4 spear bot blitu
turns out if everyone has the backpack to reload everyone else, its super smooth
heady halo
<@&1206091872716595200> anyone down to dive?
actually, sorry, retract that, im feeling worse than i thought
😓 orz
daring monolith
i'm learning other weapons b/c i think the autocannon's gonna catch a nerf befor...
it's actually balanced. The devs think so, at least- it takes a backpack slot, eats through ammo, and isn't the best at dealing with any one thing
it's an all-rounder (if anything its best vs medium targets), can't take out heavy armour, isn't ideal vs infantry but can work
heady halo
yeah autocannon and grenade launcher are the supports they are ballancing arouns
stone bridge
I honestly think that's a good thing
honest acorn
I wouldn’t be shocked if the AC lost a tiny amount of damage or ammo pickup efficiency but I don’t think it’s overpowered
If there’s something up with it it’s how it’s ammo economy is good enough you don’t really have to… switch off it
stone bridge
Support weapons should feel strong, they're your reliable combat lynchpin for basically the entire mission
stone bridge
If there’s something up with it it’s how it’s ammo economy is good enough you do...
You do run out of ammo if you're using it for everything, it's very inefficient into small targets
honest acorn
Maybe I’ve just had good with with teammates killing light targets 🤷♂️
Like that might be it
I run into a lot of people with sickles and itchy trigger fingers haha
glacial light
Support weapons *should* feel strong, they're your reliable combat lynchpin for ...

rough ravine
I'm getting close to affording my first premium warbond
Probably gonnna pick up the sickle one
dusky solar
Sickle one is cracked, HOWEVER, if you can only pick one, another comes out in one week precisely
daring monolith
a lot of my usual squad runs sickles
often a MG as well, so light targets usually aren't an issue
which frees me up to run autocannon
rough ravine
It's one at the moment and the explodey one doesn't super grab me
dusky solar
So it might be worth waiting a few days just to see if anything you like better comes out in the other warbond
rough ravine
except faster extracts
honest acorn
I'm getting close to affording my first premium warbond
It may be worth waiting a bit - there’s a new one next week and it looks like it might have some bangers
Oh nvm

I understand the bugs players cause they don't want to fight bots, simple is

It's a completely different experience than say fighting on draupnir vs creek which are both bot planets
kindred lintel
as a bug player i just enjoy seeing the funny red number and making sure we prioritize the right targets before they blitzkreig their way into a bile titan spiral
south temple
i just like being able to run heavy armor, bug missions usually mean too much running for my taste
the mid-light armor is fire tho
kindred lintel
i run the enforcer armor (medium heavy) and its fine
The extra bit of armor lets you tank quite a bit of things
south temple
that's probably true, i haven't tested bugs with the latest armor patch
kindred lintel
As far as Im aware its the only type
(it being medium with slightly more amror/lower stamina)
south temple
yeah i think there's one per armor type
light gunner, fort commando, and ig enforcer, tho i don't have it
oblique hazel
there's also the titan armor in the light-medium slot
slightly higher armor rating than light for less speed and stamina, with engineering kit passive
azure pewter
light gunner, fort commando, and ig enforcer, tho i don't have it
enforcer doesnt have the extra armor trait tho, it has exp resist and recoil reduction it is literally in a seperate catagorey, the default armors are the medicum equivelent for what your talking about
south temple
oh isee
stone bridge
With the explosive changes I might actually start using it for bots too
Now that you can't get one deag'd by random stray rockets
south temple
the rocket changes are amazing, in battle master i can just eat them for days
oblique hazel
the endless rain of lasers makes it a bit of tough sell, but I love it so much I use it anyways
glacial light
I like the light medic armor for bugs and heavy medic for bots for bots now explosives aren't a death sentence
alpine seal
i'm starting to believe more armors are viable against bots than bugs now
now that rocket explosions deal intended amounts of damage
with bots you can tank a decently high amount of gunfire if you don't get randomly domed, and it's actually saved me decently well especially with the ballistic shield
on bugs if you're not running light armor you get mauled to death by hunters though
glacial light
I think my new bot setup has 3 support stratagems of quasar, ballistic shield, and mech with 500kg
burnt vapor
Yeah bugs lack of care about armour makes everything that’s not light feel not great against them
glacial light
Light stim armor with stamina booster is the forrest Gump build

I have been doing AC/Airstrike/Precision Orbital/Rail Cannon lately
Anything with barrage in the name I forget exists entirely
I have been blown up too much
EMS turret is also great
candid finch
I just ran some missions with heavy explosion resistant armour + backpack ballistic shield + defender + EATS and then something to take out buildings.
I also run healing light armour + DMR + the lock on missile combo sometimes because they're funny.
naive dragon
Sickle Senator Impact and a engineer kit medium armor also

sadly I don't have the Sickle or the Senator

My new fun bot build is
defender + ballistic shield
Senator for berserkers and devs
Quasar cause goated against dropships
Mech cause now it's not paper it shreds berserkers and devs in a second
500kg for buildings that need it
ionic holly
My bot build is mostly the same as my bug build, just differernt primaries really
500, cluster, ems strike, spear
And either blitzer/plasma punisher, senator, or stun nade
Blitzer for bugs, plasma pun for bots

My fun bug build is
Breaker incendiary

ok sickle just goes really far from how i usually operate
(aka semi auto reliant, shooting for accuracy)
glacial light
Yes idk if it has dropoff or bullet drop
wind arrow
i'm not good at controlling full auto guns i find, that and i really don't take shot spread into account when i shoot far

I love that it's accurate enough to snipe the top of a strider pilot's head over their shield with even a little bit of elevation

I haven't used the 380 yet, though I have it. The 120 is more than scattershot enough for me

I quite like the 380
Big spread big booms
Clears bases and shit well
Occasionally annihilates enemies in the field
rough ravine
See I used 120s for base clears but it would often just... not hit the fab
So I tend to just go for eagle strikes

380 tends to clear bases... eventually
But with the upgrade it lasts like 30 seconds

Oh byw
What's the tradeoff between the orbital gatling and airburst?
They both seem to do basically the same thing
meager saffron
orbital gatling is a lot less continual
airburst fires a huge blast at regular intervals
gatling fires for like a second and then stops
honest acorn
Orbital gatling has a marginally shorter cd and hits unreliably but continuously
meager saffron
gatling is also dependent on the position of the super destroyer in the sky so I've found it's largely useless
honest acorn
Airburst hits 2x (3x with extra guns!) at about 1.5 second intervals and kills basically everything with less than heavy armor each time
keen zinc
honest acorn
Airburst is kind of the goat
rough ravine
Ahh okay
Also is there a way to know what direction an eagle will approach from/aim their run?
Is it also center of map?
honest acorn
depends on the ability
meager saffron
I always aim it as perpendicular to your facing when they're thrown
undone veldt
Yah I think it’s generally perpendicular coming from the left
honest acorn
strafing is always directly away from you, air strike napalm, and clusters all go perpendicular to you
meager saffron
black circle is you
honest acorn
500kg comes in from basically behind you
meager saffron
red is impact point
rough ravine
Ahh okay, handy
honest acorn
oh eagle smoke is also perpendicular
meager saffron
this is most applicable for strafing, airstrike and napalm like Cyan said
undone veldt
500kg comes in from basically behind you
500Kg is basically a direct drop too
honest acorn
I'm not sure what rockets do - somewhere from vaguely behind you
undone veldt
There’s not much of an angle to it
honest acorn
I think that's all of them?
rough ravine
Rockets auto aim at least
Okay, might give strafe a few more tries, I've found it really hard to aim
But I love strike and rockets
honest acorn
yeah and its worth noting that they select their target when the beacon "arms" and puts the beam into the sky not when the eagle arrives
So don't lead targets with it
rough ravine

I played a ton with quasar tonight and loved it.
And then as I ended the night I realized I spent the entire thing on a cold planet, so I think the baseline gun is probably quite different from what I experienced!

Cold planets make it take longer to charge to fire but I think it’s bugged and they don’t cool faster for the next shot

does anyone know if Hulk vents take extra damage from explosives?
iirc you need explosive tagged weapons
the lib concussive for instance
for spewers
idk about hulks since their vents are weak to most things
plasma weapons aren't explosive which gives them some weird properties
daring monolith
the scorcher is explosive iirc?
but yeah most weak spots (vents, spewer and bile titan sacs, etc) take increased damage from explosive-tagged weapons
stoic lotus
spewer sacs take like 90% reduced damage from regular shots but full damage from explosives

There's a few armors that are really worth grabbing, mainly ones that don't have a version of that armor type in the passes

these mfers just got out of the damn trenches wtf
graceful bluff
though it rotates pretty fast

for example there's a light armor with a perk that gives it the armor of a medium which is really nice

that does sound cool

There's also a heavy armor with said perk which just gives you absurd levels of armor

did you enjoy the experience?
pastel igloo
got an achievement so it wasn't all bad
graceful bluff
Also speaking of things that don't make sense
as long as you're prone you take less explosive damage, even if you're midair
diving into tank shells(as long as they don't hit your head) means you usually survive em
dusky solar
Does the game register you as prone if you spam the input midair, or do you just have to mash dive beforehand
graceful bluff
as soon as you press it you count as prone
Some people here saw me utterly disrespecting a tank earlier by eating like three of those shells in a row without taking damage, then trimping off its corpse to launch myself ~170 metres towards where we were going
also without taking damage
stoic lotus
trimping

oh the EOD armor is in the store currently
the only thing that irks me on that armor is the lack of neck
the head floats

oh the EOD armor is in the store currently
its Lé chonk, higly recommend, just get the helmet too so it matches
pastel igloo
i only have money for the armor
graceful bluff
Also I suggest rebinding your prone key(not dive) and crouch keys to where you can quickly press them cause ducking under devastator rocket barrages never stops feeling amazing
and is much safer than trying to dodge them by moving
pastel igloo
i want to use dodge but then no jump pack
though i don't think i'm going to be particularly using the jump pack a lot

you can rebind dodge to tap spacebar and then hold spacebar is still jetpack

Combining it with the ballistic shield is also great
pastel igloo
how do i get the ballistic shield
graceful bluff
it's a stratagem
graceful bluff
backpack slot, you can fire one handed weapons with it(sidearms, smgs), and when you're not using it(sprinting, using a two handed weapon like for example the arc thrower), it's on your back and still blocks stuff that hits it
pastel igloo
i'm lvl 8 rn :)
graceful bluff
it's great for running away due to this

ooh nice

i can get a submachine gun for it
since that's one handed

it used to be terrible because small arms fire took health off it, now only explosive does

pastel igloo
gonna try playing on hard
i don't think it's gonna go great because i'm lacking good weapons to take out bigger targets
glacial light
Each planet has a base percentage where the liberation drops by like 1.5%(?) per hour so if everyone is spread out equally then it's effectively 4.5% loss every hour vs the 1.5% of focusing on one planet
glacial light
Yea you kind of get kicked a lot in pub games for being low levels, accidentals, wearing the new cape, "bad" loadouts, and my favorite not reinforcing during ion storms or in jammers

oh and freyja, if you like snipers you're gonna adore the bolt action that's coming in the next warbond

It's nice but it needs a loadout that works with it, not against it
again this is assuming the stats i saw pre-release are correct

Sometimes hard to make sure to pry open the game just right

it's a frag explosive shell sniper rifle

Mhm, can blow up fabricators should that remain unchanged

Unless it's changed, shaves off some of the extraction timer, like a minute i wanna say?
possibly just 30 seconds
ionic holly
Yeah it's gonna be the booster i run if the main 3 are already being ran
(vitality, stamina, ammo)
fallen tendon
it'll def be worth it on the longer extraction timer modifier ones
dusky solar
hm. how often does that 30 seconds or 1 minute save you?
fallen tendon
stuck 4m till extract is not fun
dusky solar
you're right, it's definitely great QoL
ionic holly
An aside, i do hope they throw out the next free warbond soonis-
Ohhh, that's probably why we still have a lot of unreleased weapons and armour
they're building up the stockpile
fallen tendon
for 2m it'll be nice but not a gamechanger, for 4m its the difference between holding out vs 12 sudden hulks or holding out vs 8 sudden hulks
dusky solar
that's sorta what i meant, how often do you get overruns on the pad?
i guess it depends on that factor mostly
ionic holly
i mean it also means a little more of a time bonus if you ask me
dusky solar
true! it's free XP

Honestly it's gonna be very hard for anything to ever beat the vitality, sprint, spacepod, muscle/delayed drops boosters
dusky solar
yeah
it will take boosters that do things like reduce stratagem cooldowns
which are boring
and i REALLY hope they don't add them idk
sometimes it seems like the boosters are a corner of the game's design that can easily go bad
graceful bluff
honestly a lot of the current boosters should just be ship upgrades
would give a good sample sink too
dusky solar
it would XD tbf i'm almost level 50 and have neglected samples for so long that i still need 154 more greens and 43 more oranges 😅
graceful bluff
I was capped on samples before I hit 50 lol
I could also see just giving us a second booster slot at 50 or 100
dusky solar
idk, i like how non grindy the progression is
graceful bluff
yeah it's just being rewarded with qol options later on
graceful bluff
consider that we get like what, one or two boosters a month
tall nova
I have a ton of rare samples and not nearly enough common
dusky solar
i don't think it'd be game breaking but i really love how you can design loadouts, and players can easily earn all the parts quickly
pro tip for quick commons, on eradicates, kill everything on the map
they stop dropping more after you 100% the mission
there's usually like 10 regulars
graceful bluff
I could also see just burning samples to get X missions worth of second slots
would also give you a reason to pick up samples other than shiny

it is!
it's an ice planet, very flat

it's either you're in tiny little valleys all the time or wide open
very good Spear territory
tall nova
How about a booster that INCREASES detection range, because freedom doesnt sneak around! 
hexed steeple
they should add a booster that lets you shoot bullets from a gun
tall nova
But boosters that make the game harder (like dark souls calamity ring) could be interesting

It cant be worse than the Tesla tower in terms of griefing
dusky solar
you could drop into other games with the negative boosters, then leave
would rather not have that lmao

i wonder if it was just a terrain generation issue
i hope they keep it around though 😂

pastel igloo
i didn't really like the bug missions i've done so far so this current major order suits me fine
dusky solar
the best reddit post i've seen in the last week is "hellbombs should detonate instantly if you mess up the inputs"
yeah freyja, bug missions are a horde shooter, bot missions are a LOT more tactical
they're both horde shooters i guess
honest acorn
every correct button input is one (1) second of fuse
pastel igloo
automaton missions haven't felt much like horde shooters personally tbh
pastel igloo
there are a lot of enemies sometimes but like
dusky solar
the prospecting missions
honest acorn
automaton missions still do the horde shooter thing but the lots of ranged enemies and wide open areas make for a really unique feeling experience where you have to deal with "hordes" of fire-and-maneuver sections
dusky solar
you can also USUALLY burst down automatons very quickly
so it's like, even if there's a ton of bots it's usually possible to just wipe the infantry then kill the others at a slower pace
