i usually just go for Quasar cause it's easy to use

rare nymph
#

I’ve started pairing it with the eruptor as they help fill out gaps in each others coverage

pastel igloo
#

i have the big iron on my hip as well as the sickle

#

i don't use secondary much tho

stone bridge
#

I'm low key surprised people don't like the Crossbow more, it seems great

pastel igloo
#

i would love to try it

glacial light
#

I don't like it cause I don't have it

rare nymph
#

I tried it vs bugs, it didn’t quite gel with me at the time

#

I like to run n gun a lot, which means the bolts can be kinda unpredictable

pastel igloo
#

i like to drop horribly mistimed stratagems and just run

#

drop a 500 at my feet and just dead sprint in any direction

glacial light
#

If you take 2 steps away from a 500kg you'll be fine

pastel igloo
#

the funnier one is dropping a 380 in front of myself and running through the blast radius

#

put my life in the hands of Lady Liberty

south temple
#

drop a 380 and stand still

glacial light
#

What's fun is telling a teammate with an army on their tail to keep running and don't stop and throwing a stratagem right behind them then they hear a cluster kill everything behind them

pastel igloo
rare nymph
#

I like calling in a strike on a swarm of bugs, then chucking stun grenades at them

barren reef
#

My one of my favourite helldivers memory is a buddy running shield backpack and 380s. Man tosses the 380 close forward and continues advancing and says "I'm at home in the steel rain" right as he gets nailed by one shell, survives thanks to the shield, then IMMEDIATELY gets nailed by another one.

rare nymph
#

Like “no no, you stay”

glad marsh
#

I've been getting hit with that too. Helldivers used to run great and now it lags occasionally. I've got no idea what's going on with it

sour whale
#

i have also been having worse performance as the patches have dropped

glad marsh
#

Yeahhh I dunno what's up with that

stone bridge
#

So with Bots getting a third heavy unit, only a matter of time before bugs get the same

#

Think we'll get Hive Lords back, or something different?

unreal merlin
#

It's not awful if you direct hit berserkers and devastators, though for the latter it's just more ammo efficient to have some heavier weapon to kill them easily (I just pop them with quasar)

glacial light
#

I unlocked the eruptor and it's pretty fun even though i'm not good with it

#

Maybe it's a sign I should try out autocannon again

rare nymph
stone bridge
#

That makes sense

hazy oriole
#

That might be it, as it's been paired with Helldivers 2 in particular taking an eternity to quit unless I alt tab and force shut it down with task manager
Otherwise it just freezes for like 20 minutes

#

<@&1206091872716595200> Anyone available for a game?

glad marsh
#

But only sometimes

#

Helldivers shouldn't be damaging my computer

#

I hope it's not damaging my computer

unkempt river
#

Ok, I heard an opinion about Helldivers I want to share and discuss (note: I do not hold this opinion)

{Someone said that Helldivers 2 has too many difficulties and could trim back to 6 difficulties.} [A/N: essentially eliminate 1 level in each of the 3 "categories"]

#

My personal take is that this is a bad opinion, as each difficulty level does one or more of the following: increases number of missions per op, increases the armor category that can spawn, or increases the amount of armor that can spawn

hot meadow
#

I agree. I thought they were a good way to learn the game.

unkempt river
#

Anyone else have more thoughts?

oblique hazel
#

I can understand the argument tbh

#

outside of the difference between the sample tiers, it can be pretty hard to tell the difference between difficulties a step away from each other imo, and it would mean there are more players playing each difficulty overall

#

I understand that there are differences between every difficulty, and those differences are valuable

#

but I do see their argument

hot meadow
#

As the game ages and population dips, I think it's a good idea.

glacial light
#

Condensing difficulty seems better if the population dips so quickplays are easier to find a full squad

#

I'm still thinking what to pair with eruptor besides redeemer since I have discovered laser cannon isn't for me

unkempt river
#

any of the 3 MGs might be worth it?

#

Depends on if you are married to a backback yet

oblique hazel
#

have you tried out arc thrower? I don't have the eruptor unlocked yet, but I plan trying out that combo when I do

glacial light
#

My original favorite build is sickle/quasar/shieldpack so real good against ads and has AT but lacks strong medium enemy clear while being tanky

unkempt river
#

Oh, Shield Pack

glacial light
#

I've never tried the MG before

unkempt river
#

Ignore me

glacial light
#

Maybe i'll try Stalwart again

unkempt river
glacial light
#

pippack?

unkempt river
#

uh

#

Supply Pack?

winged hearth
unkempt river
#

(one sec)

#

Yeah, Supply Pack (idk why it is stuck in my head as pippack)

#

Supply Pack lets you carry a ton of extra ammo for the MGs and use them as close to a main weapon while giving you tankiness via stims and clutchclear via nades at a startling rate

stiff pine
#

1 and 2 are not exactly the same but they're really not significantly different

glad marsh
rare nymph
#

If you're less concerned about hulks and more about those other things then the quasar should work just fine

#

Then there's the ever-faithful autocannon, though obviously that takes your backpack slot

glacial light
#

Yea I tried eruptor and stalwart just now and realized I have no weapons against medium armor vents on bots

#

I guess it'd be less of an issue when I play with teammates

honest acorn
unkempt river
glacial light
#

Impact

honest acorn
#

Eruptor can engage medium armor vents

meager saffron
#

impacts can deal a pretty hefty chunk to medium armor vents

unkempt river
#

Ah, that should be your goto against Medium-Armor Vents if you're struggling to kill with Eruptor

glacial light
#

Can it? I saw it bounce against cannon towers

honest acorn
#

I've killed cannons with it

stiff pine
#

Aiming can be awkward

glacial light
#

Weird and it doesn't have the deflect icon?

honest acorn
#

I think the bullet deflects but the explosion damages

unkempt river
honest acorn
#

Sort of like plasma weapons vs scout striders

rare nymph
#

Though bear in mind, killing towers can take a hot minute due to them rotating in the time it takes to cycle the bolt lol

honest acorn
#

That's also true - it might be an impact angle

rare nymph
unkempt river
meager saffron
#

I think penguin tried and just couldn't get the fuckin gun to load in time to hit the second shot

#

you'd plunk em once and then have to start doing the safety dance to get the second off

unkempt river
#

I just use a Quasar 😎

hazy oriole
rare nymph
#

As I think the grenade pistol is effective against vents

#

Again, not sure tho

unkempt river
#

Tangent: there is an oddly high amount of slightly incorrect information in Helldivers 2 reviews

#

The number of times I've heard "they don't get more health per level, but there are more and they do more damage" is... too goddamn many

glad marsh
#

Huh..

unkempt river
#

Yeah

glacial light
#

I think I might do the unthinkable and just go without a support weapon with eruptor and redeemer. I've discovered the beauty that is Redeemer on semi-auto for ad clear and eruptor is basically like a weak support weapon you can't lose.

#

And sub in a red stratagem for big things

unkempt river
#

That's.... a wild take. Let me know how it works?

stone bridge
#

Why not just run a Stalwart or MG?

glacial light
#

Against bots, which is what I mostly use eruptor for, they tend to group up accidently cause they shoot once and stand at a certain range at the same time so Eruptor often gets like 3 kills per shot for light ad clear, redeemer for anything close is sufficient for me at least so while Stalwart would be nice I could replace it with something like gatling barrage to throw on a dropship or group while focusing on another group with my other weapons

honest acorn
#

And you can probably get a support weapon 5-8 minutes in anyway

glacial light
#

It feels weaker than the sickle/quasar setup but I grow tired of that build being a bit too good for diff 7, and I probably won't go up

#

But also once I learn to play better without shield pack I can slot in mech and not have to worry about picking up gear on death, it just feels more low pressure

stone bridge
#

Fair enough I suppose

#

I will personally never drop without a support weapon

unkempt river
glacial light
#

I think if I wanted to play a little smarter I could take an EATS/RR/Quasar to deal with heavy enemies so it's a balanced jack of all trades. Redeemer for light, eruptor for med, support for heavy

unkempt river
#

Quasar remains too good, I think?

mortal wing
#

I don't think it's too good, but it's pretty convenient.

honest acorn
#

Quasar just fulfills a good niche

unkempt river
#

It's just a really universal tool for anything with armor heavier than a strider

glacial light
#

I think RR and team reloads in general could use a slight buff, as in let teammates use your backpack to fill your gun

honest acorn
#

Sickle is probably overtuned though

glacial light
#

Sickle could have like 3 mags max and it'd still be great

meager saffron
#

yeah

mortal wing
#

Sickle is way better that regular ammo rifles with similar damage and rpm

unkempt river
#

And for anything else, you run pippack and impacts or a full auto primary

meager saffron
#

I don't know why you can't reload people with the backpack they're carrying but I've never been that inconvenienced by it

mortal wing
stone bridge
#

I think the Quasar is actually fine

meager saffron
#

the loadout would go to shit without communication anyway

#

is my thought

unkempt river
meager saffron
#

I'm fine with it happening, I also just don't really care too much if it does or doesn't

#

more for me

#

waiter! waiter! more bile titans please!!!

unkempt river
#

Fair enough

glacial light
#

I think it'd help with quickplay, and communicationless games. Like near a teammate and see them reloading their RR while a few chargers are charging? Hop in and reload with their pack no words needed

meager saffron
#

yeah if it helps with pubs then sure

unkempt river
meager saffron
#

I mostly just don't think pugs would care enough to ever take advantage of the fact

glacial light
#

Also I think it'd allow more fluidity, the reloader isn't glued to you nor you to the one with the backpack. Any teammate can help you

mortal wing
#

How do people like new grenade pistol?

unkempt river
#

Cause I used to be in the "it's fair and balanced" camp, but the more I've played with it, the crazier I feel it's capable of being

meager saffron
#

or if they do then they're also fine saying 'drop pack i will solo your reloads'

stone bridge
# unkempt river Do you mind explaining why?

The weapon is good in good situations and bad in bad situations due to the charge up time, and other than that its... largely a recharging EAT you need to keep on you for it to be effective

#

Which is pretty fine, to me?

tall stone
#

Quaser is quite nice at taking out the heavier armored things out there, without having to wait for EAT call ins.

#

Because while yes, you will generally have an EAT when you need it, you will have an EAT.

unkempt river
honest acorn
#

I think the biggest problem with the quasar is that if you can't afford to ads at something for 3-5 seconds you can't shoot it

tall stone
#

Also does good on the new walkers if you remember the weak points.

honest acorn
#

While you can snapfire a RR in like .5 seconds or an EAT in like .8

glacial light
#

I think 15 seconds is too quick of a cooldown, you basically get like 4 EAT shots in 70 seconds and with EATs you get 2 per 70 second.

stone bridge
#

I mean, yes, but it's also a full on support weapon

#

Whereas you can run EATs + Something Else

stiff pine
#

while trying to charge the quasar

unkempt river
tall stone
#

Now mind you, I still prefer EAT myself, but I'm not operating at the difficulties where I'll consistently run into Heavies.

stiff pine
#

where with an EATS I would have the kill

#

so I went back to eats

honest acorn
stone bridge
#

The Quasar has to be better than EATs because it's not disposable

mortal wing
#

EAT is quite a bit nicer when charges is charging at you right this moment

stiff pine
#

I do remember the hilarious Free-Quasar week where any dropship that dared show up was promptly annihilated

unkempt river
#

XD

glacial light
#

I do run EATs for bugs cause no charging, but against bots it serves a strong role at as objective/building/dropship killer

tall stone
#

Mind you, dropships still just die to a prepared Quasar user.

mortal wing
tall stone
#

And I still stubbornly prefer my Laser Cannon.

honest acorn
#

I think it has a really solid unmatchable niche vs gun towers and such as well

stone bridge
#

I agree

tall stone
#

Oh yeah, it's a tower killer for sure, and I love it for that.

supple siren
#

Once they actually fix the Spear hopefully it becomes the Building Weapon

glacial light
#

Or the bile titan killer

#

If it's gonna lock on, just have it auto lockon to heads or weakpoints

tall stone
#

Spear does seem to be doing nice against the big bot walkers right now.

supple siren
#

I wonder how it fares with Factory Striders :|a

#

oh well good

mortal wing
#

Spear still struggling with lock on as ever?

#

Haven't been touching it lately

tall stone
#

Yes, but it does well at hitting the weak points of the factory striders specifically.

supple siren
#

Quasar doesn't have issue with storms and the like though

tall stone
#

Correct.

quick plinth
glacial light
#

Little side tangent, I think another thing that digs me into the shield pack pit i'll seemingly never escape from is that a second or 2 of no flinching is amazing when you have like a quasar or eruptor

supple siren
#

great for the laser cannon too, buys you enough time to melt a Hulk face

glacial light
#

If only heavier armor reduced flinching that'd be great

#

Being able to tank is nice but taking lasers against bots is less nice if you can't hit anything

supple siren
#

Honestly that's why I've been enjoying the Big Bubble shield

#

the amount of just crossfire on higher difficulty gets wild

#

and the uptime vs the cooldown is pretty nice

unkempt river
glacial light
#

Why diff 4?

oblique hazel
#

that is very highly specific lol

unkempt river
#

Oh, that's just what I run solo content in

glacial light
#

I am seen

#

All that's missing is shield pack and that's top comment

quick plinth
#

additional arc target or 50% explosion damage reduction to turrets?

oblique hazel
oblique hazel
honest acorn
#

get both

#
  • arc tower can now kill 4 helldivers in 1 pulse
  • a RR blast won't kill it before it does
#

flawless fucking victory

glacial light
#

If you had to pick one to get first i'd say arc target if you use arc thrower, it's kind of a big boost of like 25%

#

Actually no, CYAN's logic is flawless

quick plinth
#

made something real quick

#

kinda sucks

#

there's probably a bit of refinement I could do

cobalt patrol
wraith furnace
#

This is why coordination is necessary

cobalt patrol
#

@glacial light Re laser cannon, you gotta go after weakpoints. it takes forever to kill a trooper to the hcest, but their heads pop instnatly

wraith furnace
cobalt patrol
#

Well, that's a good question

wraith furnace
#

I am willing to do many things for democracy, up to and including throwing this 380mm Orbital bombardment stratagem at my feet and awaiting my inevitable demise!

However, was minimizing allied casualties, like, not a goal or something

wind arrow
#

quick gear check

#

with liberator-pen, senator, stun grenade, orbital gatling, supply pack, orbital laser, railgun, my only option for fab destruction is laser right?

stone bridge
#

Yes

wind arrow
#

ok i found the only other option

stone bridge
#

Recommend you take impacts or work your way toward the Grenade Pistol instead

wind arrow
#

traitor barrage

short rune
#

1-2 more hours for the objective to be completed.

#

Apparently we also lost quite a lot of territory.

oblique storm
#

Hey so I fought the new guysv

#

And they uh

#

They scare me

short rune
#

The Factory Striders?

oblique storm
#

I'm very scared of them

#

Yeah

cobalt patrol
#

They arent too bad, but they sure are intimidfating

#

you've gotta peel the face miniguns asap

#

Also i saw an autocannon turret just Wreck one of them

short rune
#

I underestimated their armour rating.

#

At the weak points

#

It's definitely heavy

#

Not medium

#

So yeah, for future references I have to bring launchers

#

How well does the Thermite grenade perform against armour again?

honest acorn
#

It’s sadly pretty unimpressive

#

Annoying to test because it suffers from the DoT bug but they don’t appear to do much more damage than an impact grenade all in all

short rune
#

It also explodes on impact?

#

Or was it timed?

honest acorn
#

No I mean the combined burn+explosion does about as much as an impact grenade

short rune
#

Ah

#

Guess I have to hope for the devs to add like C4 charges or so

honest acorn
#

They were a support weapon in HD1 so there’s reason to hope

short rune
#

Yeh

#

I kinda ran into the issue that tanks are hard to destroy when they turret is constantly facing my direction.

stone bridge
#

I think the devs undertuned thermite in fear people would forsake anti-armour in other slots and purely use thermite or something

#

But they went too far

#

And it's just kinda garbo

short rune
#

I feel like if it was appropriately strong it would fill the role in ranges too close for launchers

#

It's not like you can throw them super far without servo

stone bridge
#

Yeah that's my thinking

short rune
#

Auto-cannon can damage the weakspots of the strider, yes?

stone bridge
#

I haven't quite gotten to try it yet, but if they're heat sinks I imagine so

short rune
#

Like, the game claims that both the Eruptor and the AC have Medium penetration, but I start to doubt such for the former.

stone bridge
#

That's because armour penetration isn't in a linear light/medium/heavy progression, its a numerical value

#

The AC has a higher value than the Eruptor but they can both pierce infantry scale medium armour

#

The AC can pierce the lightest vehicle armour where the Eruptor can't, though

short rune
#

It punches through the shield of the scout walker most of the times and it shreds devs.

#

(Still doesnt go through Dev shields)

stone bridge
#

Yes, which all are medium

short rune
#

But its super inconsistent for the rest.

honest acorn
#

Dev shields are insanely tough

cobalt patrol
#

For striders, the Eruptor kills them because it's very large explosion goes through the vent

#

and just blasts the trooper apart

stone bridge
#

Dev shields are vehicle scale heavy I'm 99% sure

short rune
#

The vents. So there is no point in aiming for the eyes and limbs

honest acorn
#

I think they might actually have the highest armor rating in the game

cobalt patrol
#

not vent, slot* sorry

honest acorn
#

And RR/EAT at many angles

cobalt patrol
#

I miss the railgun being able to punch through the dev shield >.>

honest acorn
#

Same

stone bridge
#

Its very funny

junior badge
wind arrow
#

ah right

short rune
#

I mean, shield is thankfully not a super big issue due the large cut-out for the gun.

wind arrow
#

i was aiming at the roof

#

and found that too hard

cobalt patrol
#

Eh, it was very nice being able to just cut heavy devs down

short rune
#

Hulks have no weak-spot on the head, yes?

stone bridge
#

They do

cobalt patrol
#

Hulks have a weakspot - the red eye.

stone bridge
#

The visor is vehicle scale medium armour

junior badge
#

Yeah, that's tricky, and the vents feel easier to me. But of course that's a final resort style option.

cobalt patrol
#

If you've enough armor pen you can murder them very fast

#

Vents are a much slower and unsafer kill than visor

short rune
#

So far the Eruptor wasnt able to get through it.

stone bridge
#

So high echelon support weapons can penetrate it and kill very quickly

cobalt patrol
#

since you have to get behind, and soemtimes you'll only get the "vents exploded"

#

And the hulk still runs around for a while before it'll overheat and die properly

stone bridge
cobalt patrol
#

This is why you run the Eruptor with the ARM or the Laser Cannon

#

both are very good at covering the things the eruptor cant

short rune
#

Seems like it.

cobalt patrol
#

Eruptor/Laser Cannon/Stuns/Jetpack is a very fun combo

short rune
#

Went back to disposables because with some upgrades their cooldown is super low.

cobalt patrol
#

I find the laser cannon a bit more flexible than EATs in this case, since it works as a troop popper and takes out gunships/factory striders very well as well as the anti-heavy role

#

and Jetpack onto a tank and lasercannon it out of existence is a baller move that looks awesome

short rune
#

I hate that so many of them require a backpack slot

cobalt patrol
#

It's a balanicing mechanism.

#

backpack slot is incredibly powerful

#

And also, the choice between autocannon freeing up an extra strat to be taken

#

vs having to dedicate a strat to a backpack call in helps

stone bridge
#

Yeah strat backpacks are absolute slappers

cobalt patrol
#

On aa defence misisons i'll take the autocannon just so i can have two offensive strats instead of one.

short rune
#

Can't imagine running a lot of bot maps without forcefield.

cobalt patrol
#

You get used to it pretty fast

#

and medium fortified armor solves a lot of bot problems.

#

It takes a direct hit from a cannon turret to one shot me

short rune
#

I usually run scout

cobalt patrol
#

I would say that if you're in light armor, you either need to be a god at stealth, or you need to have the forcefield

#

because you will just liquify

stone bridge
#

I'm honestly just running Ground Breaker these days

short rune
#

GB was engineer now?

stone bridge
#

Yup

short rune
#

Hmm.

cobalt patrol
#

it's a valid approach. any armor that gives +recoil reduction while crouching/prone is immensly strong

short rune
#

Yeah, I usually run Engineer when I dont run scout

#

And the extra grenades which I dont really use enough

#

I still wish they added new effects to the new warbond

oblique hazel
#

has AH said anything about the page 3 armor not having the 90% explosive resist one of the community members said it was going to have?

short rune
#

Doesn't it have default fortified?

stone bridge
oblique hazel
#

well another armor set from it had the wrong passive, it might be the same thing

#

so I was wondering if they mentioned it at all

stone bridge
#

Nope

cobalt patrol
#

I honestly assume wires got crossed somewhere

cobalt patrol
#

I wish randos would take more guns than just the bloody Quasar.

#

like it's not a bad gun, but we need like... 1 on a team

pastel igloo
#

Quasar is based for bots

#

My team always runs at least two

daring monolith
#

My usual team (though we havent played too much recently) usually goes 2 autocannon, 1 Quasar, 1 flex (GL, AMR, varies based on mission type) although recently we’ve been trying some wacky stuff

pastel igloo
#

One of my friends is a big fan of the sniper

cobalt patrol
#

it's fire penalty is huge, and bots yo ureally want stuff that can mow down devs, which it cannot do

#

Anyway, i'm mostly just grumpy and grousing

#

because team are all high level players, on a reduced slots map

#

and tehy all brought quasar and shield and one other thing

#

just crtuching on it like crazy. iwas the only autocannoner

#

i was also way more effective than them >.>

pastel igloo
#

Quasar one-shots them, effectively kills most things, does not have ammo and does not take up a backpack slot

graceful bluff
#

laser cannon is also great against the gunships

pastel igloo
#

I also hate EAT so i don't use it

graceful bluff
#

just tears teh engines off em

cobalt patrol
#

And it fires once every 18 seconds

hexed steeple
#

i love my autocannon

cobalt patrol
#

The quauar ahs a niceh, but having everyone run it is just foolish.

pastel igloo
#

Autocannon is fun

#

I use it a lot

graceful bluff
pastel igloo
#

But i don't think running quasar is much of a problem

hexed steeple
#

stun grenades are goated cause i can just stop a hulk and then ez pz no problemo line up 2 shots on its stupid visor and take em out

pastel igloo
#

I run High Explosives

#

Sometimes impacts

cobalt patrol
pastel igloo
#

Egh, i've never had an issue with it personally

#

Though i've never run into a team with all Quasars

cobalt patrol
#

On diff 7+ it gets very noticable

pastel igloo
#

Usually do 2 with the lads

cobalt patrol
#

because autocannon/etc can actually keep up with murking the dev swarms

pastel igloo
#

We play 9 almost exclusively

#

Never below 7

cobalt patrol
#

Okay, fair. I still dislike it and thin kyou'd be better off with more variety.

#

=P\

pastel igloo
#

If i need to kill big groups i stratagem

pastel igloo
#

I run it with the sickle cause no ammo problems is pretty sweet

cobalt patrol
#

Like i agree taking down drop ships is nice, but you could bring the RR and do serious work. Or just throw a stun and drop a 380 on the whole mess and who even cares about the drop anymore, it's dead

pastel igloo
#

Never used RR

#

Autocannon and Quasar is what i've been using

cobalt patrol
#

RR really needs teamloading to super shine, but even without that it's in a lot of repsects better than the quasar as long as yo umanage ammo

#

and stuff like the AMR or laser cannon do so much work

pastel igloo
#

AMR?

short rune
#

Antimatter rifle

pastel igloo
#

My friend runs that one

#

I don't think i even have it unlocked

short rune
#

We also lost Oshaune it seems

pastel igloo
#

Damn it

short rune
#

At least we didn't lose Fori Prime entirely. It's still contested but no longer SE-Controlled

cobalt patrol
#

Anyway, variety in support weapons is good. I think my fgaovurites into bots are currently Autocannon, AMR and Laser Cannon. Laser Cannon/Jetpack/Eruptor with the redeemer and stuns is some good times

#

Just a meance all over the place

oblique hazel
#

As a hardcore quasar main for bots, I've found saving my grenades for devs covers it's weaknesses quite well

short rune
#

Might get back into jetpack with light armour

cobalt patrol
#

tbh, I think if anything it's better to go opposite, take heavy armor

oblique hazel
#

Also, there's something about the way the autocannon aims and fires that I absolutely cannot wrap my head around to use it well

cobalt patrol
#

Light armor is very fragile vs bots

#

And you cannot take hits very well in it at all

short rune
#

Yes, but momentum with the jetpack

cobalt patrol
#

Medium armor momentum is ffine, and moentum doesnt do anyhting for you if you die to a hail of bullets

short rune
#

Valid

pastel igloo
#

I like to wear heavy armor

#

The heaviest armor in fact

Light armor can definitely still work against bots, but I've found it takes a higher level of situational awareness than tougher armor demands to use well

#

You're much less likely to die to a crossfire if you're not in a crossfire to begin with

cobalt patrol
#

Light armor works, esp if yo utake shield, but yeah, for my hyper-aggressive playstyle

Regarding factory strider weakpoints

naive dragon
#

Weird things I saw last night that I'm suddenly reminded of

#

People dropping Autocannon, not grabbing the backpack, using up the ten shots and discarding it

#

Mind you one of these was someone who dropped directly on top of me and took my shield

quick crown
#

I picked up the Machine gun yesterday after I ran out of spear shots (I feel like the lockon is even worse in this update btw) and learned its pretty decent against the shield Devis

quick crown
#

They threw my reinforce INTO a base, Airstriked the base before I landed, I respawn again and put down a hellbomb and set it off, And then I get kicked because the bots are chasing me away from everyone

#

Whiplash of awefulness

#

AFTER THAT THOUGH? BEST SILENT SQUAD EVER

#

Fuckin, Runnin as a group Using the pings for Yes No and Mark/Respond

#

Didn't needlessly shoot squads

#

Scraped the backend of the map for samples

#

Dude at the fuckin end?

#

We killed it SO HARD

#

NO squads left we extracted with literally no fight

#

And its crazy because we were all like meercats just like Run Looking for squads

short rune
#

Some people should be banned from throwing reinforcement markers tho.

#

They select the most awful locations

quick crown
#

Some people should also be FORCED to throw them too

I like it when I'll mention what I'm doing and a no mic player will use the Affirmative on me cuz it's like "you listened 😭"

A common occurrence in countless games I've played on the holy day of Tuesday.

I got a maleghast game ended and was so confused before I remembered Tuesday is maintenance day, Its been such a long time since I played on a game that steam kicks me from

I kinda thought that was a bug.

keen zinc

I've played loads

tall stone

Just fire a couple of useless shots into their face and zoidberg around them

naive dragon

One of my days off is Tuesday so random kicks off the network are just part of life for me

quick crown
#

I REALLY need to find a good weapon that can handle a scorcher from the front.

keen zinc
#

Steamworks facilitates the p2p and if it goes down the connections drop unless the company has its own networking which is not common for smaller teams

I guess its the quasar but

scorchers are the formation killers

If you can aim, an AT weapon

I was running Recoiless i must have just been missing

keen zinc

If you can't. Arc thrower.

quick crown

or is there a damage falloff

naive dragon
#

I may simply just be simping rail because I got used to it a long time ago and now it's an outdated skill

keen zinc
#

You have to hit the face

north fiber
#

You need to hit the red eye slit directly.

keen zinc

Or slightly above it

quick crown

yeah I must just be missing

keen zinc
#

Eyes and forehead

quick crown
#

Oh I'll give the forehead a try

north fiber
#

Or hit the flamethrower arm

#

Blowing off their arms is an option

keen zinc
#

Yeah, taking out a Scorchers arm is better than missing a headshot

quick crown
#

Mmmm

#

o7 Thanks for the help

keen zinc
#

The buzzsaw is easy enough to dodge and makes them vulnerable to flanking

#

They lose their area denial and thus can't break formations

cobalt patrol
#

I find stungrenades go a long way

keen zinc
#

Stunnies are great

cobalt patrol
#

you can even do stunts like stun into POS or 500kg

#

they can't dodge it in time

even with increased call in

Carpet bombing a place being pinned down with EMS mortar is very funny

Is the Aerosol airstrike any good?

oh hey other question

Anyones towers been respawning?

Maybe that's why I've been subconsciously sticking to third person

Oh, this is why I feel like I can more properly aim the Laser Cannon.

cobalt patrol
graceful bluff
#

I have too many hours in stuff like killing floor to not just send shots off the rip without a crosshair :v

tall stone
#

Because it's accurate.

graceful bluff
#

so I like third person aiming

cobalt patrol
#

because i use the circle to jduge my firing line a ton

#

(including "trick shots" wit hthe autocannon where i let the bob and sway pull it over my target and shoot then)

graceful bluff
#

knowing where your shots will hit without a crosshair also works really well with the revolver reload

cobalt patrol
#

Also, ooof. After a chain of team killing and just.. .ayiyiyi, i gave up and alt-f4'd that mission. Because yike

No worries

Today is my Friday

I love the goofy way factory strider legs dangle when tehy're dropped in

just peak comedy

keen zinc

Weeee

Just happy to be here

alpine seal
#

that's still not ideal, but i was expecting unplayable

keen zinc
#

It is quite a large deviation at high distance

#

Shooting at precision points like hulk heads

#

Y'know what the AMR is basically made to do

alpine seal
#

also good to know that all the cyan scopes have identical drift. was hard to tell since eruptor doesn't really notice precision

yet more flak for the ailing diligence CS

Funniest shit is the most accurate sights being on the guns where accuracy matters the least

Is it cluster bombs that one shot striders?

Dogs above a bathtub

cobalt patrol
blissful sparrow
#

ah yes, that sounds like exactly the issue that would make a mech have its rockets explode in the tube when turning

hot meadow
#

Also that is one interesting bug

graceful bluff
#

It's not a simple fix, but it's not a hard fix either

#

you basically have to zero it like you would a real gun

keen zinc
#

Right now their major focus seems to be on the DoT and fire damage stuff

graceful bluff
#

I mean yeah that's the right choice

keen zinc
#

Make fire less instant death for us and consistent death for our enemies

graceful bluff
#

as long as it's consistently not zeroed it's not really a problem

keen zinc
cobalt patrol
graceful bluff
#

I mean I know enough about how they work to say that, the problem is that the scope model needs to be moved down and to the right ever so slightly to match with the expected shot at each scope preset range. It feels like the modeler just nudged it by accident at some point, or that they changed the bullet firing point slightly and didn't update the scope to fit

keen zinc
#

I don't think models are just "nudged"

graceful bluff
#

oh you have no idea

keen zinc
#

I think it's more how the character holds it and that effects every animation for shooting and reloading

graceful bluff
#

it's the modelers version of accidentally drawing on the wrong layer

#

nah it wouldn't be animation related because the scope wouldn't move out of alignment with the barrel due to that

#

unless the camera for viewingthe scope isn't attached to the scope, which would be a.. weird choice

#

they kinda like die when i shoot them in the eye twice though. im gonna keep doing that

graceful bluff
#

...At that point just shoot off the flamer

north fiber
#

The issue with doing this with the AMR is the ammo cost

#

AMR needs to sink pretty much an entire mag to shoot out the legs or arm

#

If you have it equipped you're ride or die on the headshots

#

Honestly, the most helpful situation is the Quasar

#

It is a two shot (one for each leg) and CCs on the first shot

#

You don't get the chance for a oneshot but that shit is so unreliable

copper crest
#

With something less accurate like the HMG the leg is probably an easier target

north fiber
#

HMG also just has a bigger ammo pool

alpine seal
#

and it actually was good advice for chargers pre-tank-headshot era

north fiber
#

A handful of rounds from the HMG is way easier to swallow than a handful of rounds from the AMR

alpine seal
#

but shooting the legs off a brood commander seems to make it angrier than decapitating it it seems

sinful bay
#

People say the flamethrower is shit in 1,
I say skill issue >:V

alpine seal
#

current flamer is downright deranged vs bugs yeah

#

especially when you win the network host dilemma and get that extra burny fire, but even then its raw damage is now enough without it

sinful bay
#

think they buffed the damage to compensate for it?

alpine seal
#

that's correct

#

all sources of fire also get a 50% buff with an additional 25% from the level 4 upgrade

north fiber
#

Only thing that Flamer struggles with is bile titans

#

anything else and it just deletes them

south temple
#

burn them out oorah

alpine seal
#

this is very unintentional and balance by use rate committee, and will probably get tuned down once fire works properly

south temple
#

i wanna try running flamer jump pack and sickle

#

fuck AT we ball

alpine seal
#

but for now if you're a solo operative the flamer is one size fits all and that fit is burning

sinful bay

When I get 1000SC again I gonna buy the the electric warbound justs for the suckle

Also, I am happy to announce
On Dif. 7 vs bots. ballistic shield, Defender+Grande Pistol
It's fun!

Thinking on a proper support weapon for it

Grenade pistol would complete my main build

south temple
glacial light
#

It's shrimply very great

south temple
#

i wish it sounded more laser-y tho

sinful bay
glacial light
#

Broke: use it cause it's a powerful laser weapon
Woke: use it to get 2000+ shots fired for more dakka per mission

south temple
#

oh yeah it’s insane

sinful bay

Dakkamaxxin'

south temple
#

with the sickle and/or stalwart i get like 3k shots a mission and 20% accuracy

glacial light
#

Ironically im usually like at 2nd in accuracy with about 70%+ and my aim is terrible

south temple
#

i run guard dog as a spotter basically

#

so j see it shooting and the stalwart is already at 1150 RPM opening up

sinful bay
#

I like to run guard dog for bugs
They swarm me too much

glacial light
#

Guard dog would be good as a spotter to Eruptor

sinful bay
#

Depends, can ruin your stealth tho

south temple
#

stealth is for undemocratic spies we BALL

every patrol must die (i’ve never beaten an 8-9, how could you tell?)

glacial light

I play diff 7 we don't need stealth

south temple

same

alpine seal
#

funnily enough after being trained to confidence on 7s my reaction to going into my first helldive was the invincible "i thought you were stronger" panel

#

that being said that was before factory striders so i'm sure the spawn credits are going into something interesting now

keen zinc
#

God I want them to give the HMG third person crosshair

alpine seal
#

that and it's a little bit above my stress level still

south temple
#

yeah no 6-7 is my chill zone

keen zinc
#

They put the HMG in my hands. Everything I wanted in a support weapon, and then blindfolded me.

Cruel

south temple

below that is boring, above that is ass-clenchingly stressful

south temple

as a 24/7 autorifleman/machine gunner in squad i wish the HMG was good

Seriously

#

I want to be a jump trooper with shotgun, revolver, and heavy machine gun

glacial light
#

Yea 8 and 9 feel like a big jump in playstyle from 7

south temple
#

i prefer the sickle and flamer tbh, but ur cooking with the punisher almost convinced me

glacial light
#

Like from 1 to 7 it's sort of the same playstyle but you bring more AT with each diff but then 8 and 9 becomes MGSV

tall stone

It always surprises me how dumb some people are.

#

Walking directly into bug groups while a mortar is up

#

Leaving fucking 9 samples behind

glacial light
#

People bring mortars to bugs?

supple siren

See my problem with bug mortar is they have a real passion for moving to you

keen zinc
#

Let me get into cool and interesting firing positions for plunging fire

tall stone
#

People do indeed bring mortars to bugs.

#

Because guess what today's war medal thing is

glacial light
#

I don't even bring mortar to bots and if I do I usually call it out so teammates know there's a chance of instant death for being close

glacial light
tall stone
#

But getting on board after someone went across the map to get back 9 samples and 4 rares is just rude

glacial light

Yea there's no winning with pubs

You get lost samples and then host kicks you for stalling and not being on pelican

And we could have 19, dumbass

Oh pnet semi strangers with VC is soooo much better

Though to be fair to the other people, I do tend to run a pretty rando unfriendly setup

At this point I'd rather play solo than quickplay

Most of the time it's fine, but every once in a while I encounter the special dumbasses.

I encourage you to do so

Yea I don't think I've had much of a bad experience with pnet folks for Helldivers, early on it was lots of accidentals when people were still learning but that didn't bother me much

keen zinc

We always need more divers for the cause

It's easier to know when something's going on if you get the discord role

sinful bay

and i have yet to know how i get super samples, usually i can never find it and my teammates that grab it for me

go to the dick rock and they’re there

Super samples are usually always around that rock

#

I don’t know if it would be overpowered but man I kinda wish there was a way to reload the mech

south temple
#

it should be an external reload with a supply box/pack

glacial light
#

Probably, a compromise is the ability to repair and reammo the mech with a charge of the mech

undone veldt
#

Like it would take some extra steps and probably require you be outside it but it would be nice

undone veldt
glacial light
#

I hope they add like a "vehicle kit" backpack that lets you fix and re ammo Vehicles once they add more

undone veldt
#

It should be harder then reloading a normal support weapon

undone veldt
glacial light
#

Have a new niche of engineer that brings vehicles and mechs

Fix them up in the field

south temple

it would also look sick as shit

which is the only thing that matters

I wonder what the vehicle upgrades will be

glacial light
south temple
#

yeaaaaah

undone veldt
#

I do think if anything it should be a like, stratagem that brings a carry-able ammo pack for vehicles specifically

So you gotta get out, call it in, and grab it and carry it to your mech/APC

Yea or like hold E to use kit on mech or vehicle

There’s a post about modular mechs getting quite popular on the subreddit and to my immense surprise I find myself disagreeing with the idea

dusky solar
#

You'd just make 4 modular mech builds that are optimized to have no weaknesses

hot meadow
#

I agree

dusky solar
#

For a similar reason, despite the fact that i want to main vehicle call-ins once we get 2-4 available, they should NOT give ANY of them infinite ammo guns

hot meadow
#

I also think it just doesn’t feel helldiversy. All our shit is cheap and not customized

glacial light
#

Any Helldiver can have a mech painted any colour that they want so long as it is standard Super Earth colors

heady halo
#

part of it is i think the last game everything was very modular and upgradeable

hot meadow

(I also think a full on mech customization with a bay, etc is getting into almost warframey weird design)

Like I think it detracts from the current simplicity and mission to mission modularity of the game

Mechwarrior-Lite™️ customization could be neat

heady halo
#

i really want a fast mech

hot meadow

I think my ideal is 3+ mech types, some kind of mech repair/resupply stratagem, and then a valid build is selecting the right 3 mechs for the mission in lieu of support weapons orbitals etc

dusky solar
#

Mech resupply stratagem huh? I just figured "you have 6 mechs, don't fuck up too bad" would be enough

#

You have no idea how bad i want a mech with a giant arc thrower and a quasar though

Alas that would be terrible design

I imagine they wouldn't have a mech with unlimited ammo

Infinite ammo on a mech seems terrible

it's unfathomably slow

keen zinc
#

It's like 1-2 shots per second

pastel igloo
#

way too slow

keen zinc
#

The Arc Thrower is slow

#

The punisher is medium speed

pastel igloo
#

i have used the arc thrower maybe once

keen zinc
#

Your brain run by goblin

pastel igloo
#

also arc thrower is a support weapon of course it's slow

honest acorn
#

Arc Thrower is about 1 shot per second now which is nice

#

It's slower than the punisher but not that much slower now

and autocannon

How do people find the adjudicator?

orchid pulsar
#

fun, like smaller worse (but still good) autocannon

candid finch
#

what's the use case for it?

keen zinc
#

Wizard means the Eruptor

#

The Adjudicator has been panned as a subpar AR, a bad DMR, and an okay BR

burnt vapor
#

I find it very ok as a weapon but the lack of ammo turns me off only 6 backup mags with a 25 round capacity hurts

hot meadow
#

I think it’s kind of killed by subtly not shooting where you think it should be shot.

#

The eruptor meanwhile is an interesting primary that opens up cool and fun loadout.

burnt vapor
#

It also misses some break points that leave it a lot worse off like being unable to one shot troopers in the body

hot meadow
#

I don’t know if I think it is better than the breaker variants, the dominator, or the sickle, but it is 5/5 fun

stone bridge
#

I think you can't compare it to any other primary, it's extremely unique and does a lot of stuff the others cant

honest acorn
#

I think the adjudicator generally ok but needs a properly aligned fpv sight and like 1-3 more mags to be really strong

merry cosmos
#

Helldiaper

honest acorn
#

Alternatively a 30-35 round box might be enough for it

burnt vapor
#

I think a 30 round mag and a burst fire mode would do wonders for it

honest acorn
#

word

#

I think it already has reasonable trade offs with the liberator penetrator with the shorter ranged scope and way more recoil

#

So less ammo isn't needed for its much higher damage

i don't think it's the symbol that's unique, but rather the planet image there

honest acorn

I think its just a unique thumbnail yeah

#

Which implies its a unique tileset

heady halo
#

ohhh

#

hell yeahhh

pastel igloo
#

we must battle to Cyberstan

heady halo
#

heres hoping cyberstan doesnt get pushed into the front before friday when im back home

#

because like ERRYBODY is gonna hit it as soon as it unlocks, that thing is not staying unlibberabated for long

sour whale
#

i'm sure Joel will adjust the numbers to keep us in the trenches there for a while

burnt vapor
#

there are like 6 planets between us and cyberstan and the bots are pushing back our attack HARD

pastel igloo
#

we simply have to kill the bots better

burnt vapor
#

I don't expect us to see cyberstan for at least a month

pastel igloo
#

Helldivers are exceptionally good at killing

#

we're almost at a 35:1 K/D ratio across all Helldivers

merry cosmos
pastel igloo
#

35:1 K/D ratio is absolutely insane

glacial light
#

we are extremely effective shock troopers

#

We can take a fortified planet in a day or even hours

pastel igloo
#

to match the unfathomable might of the Helldivers the Bots and Bugs need to have a combined armed force literally 35 times as large just to like, put it into perspective

glacial light
#

Considering a blitz is 12 minutes, 4 helldivers can destroy a dozen bases and wipe out essentially a small town worth of automatons or terminids

honest acorn
#

I think the difference between the Helldivers and our foes is that whatever happens we have the super destroyer and they do not

glacial light
#

For now

supple siren
#

Automatons rollout the second larger, more invisible fleet

glacial light
#

Give me the Chad helldiver that calls in a mech, backpack, and support weapon at the start and nothing else the entire mission

#

Don't need a super destroyer except to get them there

it's ok

but you'd probably be better off with like, the dominator, scorcher or lib pen

what's the point of having medium pen if you require headshots ._.

I will now try the eruptor

I feel a big spoonful of pho could work like a stim for me irl

What about Freedom?

#

You forgot Freedom.

why do i need to mention freedom when i ride upon it wings to spread hope

You are legally required to mention Freedom when stating what you fight for

#

And questioning is also illegal

Double crimes

You are being reassigned to Hellmire

I am once again asking for Cyberstan maps to be so full of Gunship Fabricators, AA Defenses/Strategem Jammers, Mortars. and Observation Towers so that it doesn’t get bowled over in a day
