#Helldivers 2: For Managed Democracy!
1 messages · Page 104 of 1
I can but can't speak
I just came out of a mission where I had the lowest kill count by a country mile because I was the only one potting Hulks. I kept running out of RR shells and Senator rounds.
This is why you also shoot down gunships
That's usually how I come out with most kills despite being the RR guy
Er, dropships*
Lots of shooting those down, gas grenadinf troopers, and well placed rocket sentries
Just a couple of rare samples
Just a couple. Not a whole lot.
Bout a few
Managed to get up enough SC to be prepared for the next Warbond ahead of time.
would like more AT options
for example a backpack gauss cannon AT weapon that has railgun mechanics, 3 shots per mag and each shot starts at 1200 AP7 safe mode damage scaling to 3000 at 99% unsafe mode, with almost no demo force (cant kill a bug hole)
or an AT laser cannon with heat mechanics, like 30-40m max range but shoots a 1000 DPS AP6 beam with like 3 seconds uptime
wtb mortar kit, possibly crew-served so you have two people cooperating to shell things at distance
They do be stimmin
I want me a PIAT type weapon
Lemme lob shells over a wall to kill a tank
Isn't that the new secondary?
Well yeah, but I want one thats specifically for AT, the Ultimatum is more of a demolition "fuck everything in that particular direction" than a lob AT shot
it's not a PIAT it's a miniature davy crockett :v
Something I really want is basically a drone hub, think an explosive version of the tesla tower
releases the seeker grenades every couple of seconds for a while
I mean is super earth stuff truly unreliable, most stuff other than hellbombs seems to pretty reliably work as they intended
true! no PIAT for us then
frankly super earth equipment seems to have remarkable efficacy
idk, the terminals on our tech at least is pretty unreliable
If anything terminids are too reliable :v
just going off how often they break / how many times arrowhead has "fixed" them without actually fixing them
oh you mean from a meta perspective
I'm applying the meta to the narrative
yeah it's so annoying how often the ultimatum just phases through biles
our guns are reliable sure, but our computers sure ain't
automaton spies
They did say everything is canon
Like how the nerf for the shield backpack was us getting General Brasch's Backpack
I really wish they'd make the stalwart a primary
it's so nice but it's just not worth the slot imo
honestly, yeah. it's not amazing, just a handheld version of the regular machine gun, but they should make an LMG slot for primaries. It would make a lot of sense and would add more weapon variety.
the lib conc is so close to filling the spot but it's garbage damage wise
they'd need to nerf it heavily to make it a primary lol
It does the same damage as the liberator, I could see giving it 100 rounds less to make it a primary
from 250 to 150 capacity
...then it's a better liberator
Magazine/reload is a pretty important part of weapon balancing so a belt fed primary with a huge magazine would probably end up in a weird neither fish nor fowl space
has worse handling and higher fire rate
also doesn't have the scope of the liberator
:/
well the purpose of the LMG is to provide cover fire, not do damage. maybe they could add in a mechanic specific to LMGs that gives them a stat that would somehow force the enemy to seek cover. this could also play into strategems, you push them somewhere, then you or someone else drops an airstrike on it. i'm just spitballing here, and I'm no game dev, but having a dedicated LMG user could provide specific benefits for the rest of the team.
Suppression is a mechanic!
Most apparent in bots
Id you fire your gun towards bots their accuracy drops tremendously
I think thats where the stalwart excels
Mow down the small dudes whilst supressing stuff like the Devastators
It also shines in the Squid front
At least for now
Just cuz of how good it is for mowing down the Voteless
And breaking down Harvester shields

This could actually be so cool though. It'd be a backpack, you'd deploy it, interact from the right side to load a mortar (they come on a rack that's part of the backpack, maybe like 12 max), interact from the back to take control of it, aim to use the rangefinder (it autoadjusts to hit whatever you're aiming at), and fire. A second Helldiver could stand off to the side to load for you, that way you don't have to get up and load it yourself between shots. Interacting from the left side would pick it up again.
hold r to pick it up maybe
was thinking of it coming with two backpack slots: the mortar and the ammo
someone else has to carry the ammo
I feel like you'd need to be able to use it solo, it would just be awkward. As for picking it up, maybe just press reload while controlling it.
I like the idea of encouraging 2-diver mortar teams, but making it unusable without a buddy and taking up 2 backpack slots feels too restrictive.
If it's not unusable no one will use it 2 diver
Idea: Only 1 helldiver is needed to operate the mortar, you can load and fire in rapid succession. The rangefinder lets you aim at things you have direct line of sight to, but if another helldiver pings a target, you can have the mortar aim it even without line of sight.
This way the mortar is still usable solo, but having allies spot for you increases your range massively.
Can't hear you over my already existing rapid-fire mortar (the grenade launcher)
Seriously.
This would have to be a bigger explosion, like more powerful than a recoilless.
my thoughts are that the mortar should only work based on azimuth and range
should not be able to even use it direct fire in the same way you use another weapon
but when you're on the mortar: any ping shows the azimuth and the range of where has been pinged
How would you aim it? No one is going to do quadratic equations while playing Helldivers.
you change the azimuth to aim in the direction you want to shoot, and raise the angle (with the range of the shot being auto calculated)
like in smthn like foxhole
Eyeball it.
and if you dont have someone to ping for you: eyeball it
You can ping while aiming, you'd just have to match the range.
As for the two backpacks thing, it could work if they come in the same hellpod.
yeah that was my thought
Okay, yeah, then a solo diver can call it in, plop down the mortar, throw on the ammo pack, and self load. Having a 2-man team just makes it portable.
yeah
The only thing I'd want is a built-in rangefinder, so you can just look at something immediately tell how far away it is without having to ping.
someone without a backpack can help move it but it isn't necessary to use and I think that's a great way to do teamwork mandated stuff
Yeah I like that.
think a dot or like, AoE marker when you aim would be cool possibly
It would synergize so well with scout armor. Throw down your map ping so see if enemies are there, range to target and fire.
I mean you could ping the map
wouldn't even need a rangefinder
pings already tell you how far away something is
Right, but scout armor scans around your ping for enemies.
You could be your own spotter effectively, blow up a group of enemies completely sight unseen.
yeah
I'd like a rangefinder on the RR.
Q
that reminds me, does the quasar cannon have no projectile drop at all? i remember using it and then missing a few shots because i overcompensated thinking i still had the RR on me
I've been running low-difficulty solo missions lately just to practice the long-range drop on the RR.
I'm fairly sure it has none, yeah
iirc first ring on the scope is for 100+ meters and for anything over 200 you use the second
you mean like this?
It has one!
The circles tell you approx what distance. The inner most circle is sub 100 ranges, middle circle is 150, outer is 350.
Approx.
But if you ever play with me and see me marking stuff in the distance, I'm using that to get the range and calculate the drop off
But yeah, this ones good if you have low fov:
https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/3090
While this ones good if you have high fov:
https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/776
I do wish you could change ADS fov separately
I've never seen that pride flag before
SPILL OIL
I’m working on it, dammit!
So am I
"From hell's heart I stab at thee!"
Wow, I have never seen a ship shoot down go that badly
<@&1206091872716595200> anyone alive to help me spread democracy?
Steamforged
I own DMC, never played it cause haven't had a chance to 😭
And I might maybe own the Siege one because I thought it was cool and the play design they were showing looked kinda like a CS steam workshop mod and backed it in like, what, 2019 or w/e? Depends on that how plays out
I told myself I wouldn't buy any more boardgames tho cause I own DMC, Gun and Gun, Exceed and haven't had enough chances to play those yet
what do we feel about a charger-tier hunter/stalker-like that has AV3 all over but charger health pools and can run faster than you
Concern! Much concern!
Can the spear lock when it's uncloaked
On the list of bugs that deserve to be exterminated, that one is included.
Put a recoilless rifle shell in that fucker and let the archangels take it.
How about a Stalk Titan?
if they can be stunned it's not an issue
Why would you ever-
The Meridian Singularity/Wormhole recently has claimed its second planet...
Moradesh has now become a fractured planet and many more will follow soon as long as the Meridian Singularity/Wormhole continues its path to Super Earth!
#helldivers2 #helldivers2gameplay #moradesh #fractured #planet #illuminate #meridian #singularity #wormhole
Rip Moradesh
that's another one to add to the grudge list, folks!
Moradesh destruction: I can only hear the Minecraft eating sound effect.
Terminids: The fuck did we do
LETS GET TEARING
Predator Strain on fenrir
incredible
Cuddly frens!
I LOVE BEING AMBUSHED BY 7 PREDATOR STALKERS RAAAAAAAGH
a sentry that's just a stack of 3 independently targeting liberators
basically a stack of the armed resupply pod turret
Similar thought: a sentry thats a dock for like 2 or three guard dogs
Can call it the Kennel
I love they're still claiming the blockade is doing anything
To be fair, illuminate dark energy build up has been reduced from 1% per invasion to 0.9%!
Oh really?
At some point they're going to say that like, the exhaust from all the ships in the blockade is reducing the buildup
<@&1206091872716595200> Who's up for some diving
I'm in
2 more diving
what level? cus I'm in a different call but would be down to helldive
"Helldiver-friendly explanation" lol
I’ve seen “soldier-friendly” used to say “extremely simplified” in the military before. My dad says it sometimes, though my brother tends to favor “marine-friendly” because of his service in the navy rather than the army.
Joe proof
I've use army-proof before.
So many people would love if stuff being army proof was a thing :v
They're masters of providing never before seen results
never underestimate the power of joe to break something
This is in teh wrong chat
<@&1206091872716595200> It's time to dive again
I'm up.
2 more for diving
I could dive some more
<@&1206091872716595200> 2 spots opened up if anyone is down!
when using railgun vs bugs, do I aim for the forehead or the jaw of the BT
definitely not the forehead
I looked it up and now I'm more confused
I'd heard that the forehead on the BT was tougher, but it looks like it shares a health pool with the rest of the head. If it's a bad idea to shoot the forehead because it's sloped, then that doesn't affect the railgun so it doesn't matter I guess?
The forehead used to just ignore damage sometimes but that got patched. Now you just have to watch for it hiding under the torso armour plates when it spits
Due to losing the Factory Hub on Achernar Secundus, the Fuel rations are also affecting the Mech/Exosuits in Helldivers 2, they completely stop moving after some time. (Likely running out of fuel, I don't know if this is intended or not.)
Increase your Helldivers 2 FPS: https://youtu.be/FuN9IKckHHQ
#helldivers2 #helldivers2gameplay #helldivers...
TIL the exosuits have fuel limits
Car definitely has one
or the ability to use those jerrycans the exo suits carry
Ah, I haven’t driven the car that much so that makes sense
Must’ve just never noticed
its never been relevant, so there had been no reason to notice 😄
its just a little F-E bar in the corner of all the ui elements when driving a car
I don't exosuit was intended to have one
This was only noticed when limited fuel modifier was active
had a guy wearing the guerilla gorilla set named NoxiousBear as the server host
after we completed the mission he said "i like beans" and then closed the session

Wanted! Dead or even deader: savage, freedom-hating fiends!
It’s High Noon, Helldivers! Round up a posse and mosey to an untamed galaxy with this Premium Warbond overloaded with weapons, explosives and armour for this season and beyond.
Requires base game, paid purchase of Super Credits, and...
Lets fucking goooo
Laser Senator and Lever action rifle are goated
sadly no cowboy hat but either way "were going out west pardnrs"
This ain't the Big Iron. It's the Magnum Glass. (Or Magnum Lens or Large Glass whatever)
Oh boy this new patch broke every single mesh(model) mod for some reason and to fix it they need to be repackaged
poor fuckers that have released ~200 mesh mods
Bots got the "no more strategems for you" update
better not be able to spawn more of those
was wondering if it's possible to see the superstore armours as well or i guess we'll see them on the 20th
looks like it's tied to a side objective
Like you got the mo reward thing with no medals? If its you not getting the reward then it takes a while for it to go out
Oh boy, can't wait to turn around the corner alleyway only to get jumped by commissars and berserkers.
They travel in herds
yes
Trailer looks super amazing.
Oh I just noticed the Frontier Marshall has prosthetics
Personally can't wait for the Magnum Glass that Talon to go with my Sickle.
Though I am curious about that Sample Extricator.
Do we have any info on what it does?
From the steam patch notes
Ned kelly lookin ahh armor
Tbh that heavy armor looks like that one droid in the Star Wars sequels.
super battle droids?
The sequels not prequels
The one that did the meme of "You are being saved, do not resist."
That said, interesting that we got a hover pack
You know what? Close enough, welcome back Din Djarin
The booster is a small chance to get a sample when a large enemy dies, up to a maximum of 10 samples
I'd still take it tbh. It's surprisingly difficult finding Rare samples. I only get commons and supers in the higher difficulties.
I also like we got a futuristic version of a bundle of dynamite.
I foresee lots of shenanigans with that one.
Oh hell naw
actually
Prolly just hold R
convoy interception seems like a good objective
Probably most useful in stealth builds tbh
The pistol?
Discount timed C4
It does, but that many striders along with a strider jammer?
Strider Jammer is oof
they still all die to 2 shots of the AT/E
Ah ok, if it just makes stratagems harder then that is fine
But having a walking Jammer is payne
either way AT/E still kills em all
It also maintains it's path. Only the regular striders engage you
AT/E, Recoilless, or a Quasar to the eye instagibs it ya
Quasar idt so, I run Quasar regularly
Though I did do a funny and shot the belly of a Strider with an HMG
Killed it when it opened to drop Devastator squad
What is this mecha maui head lookin ahh
Bulk Fabricator spawns Devastators, Berserkers, and Scout Striders
in batches like the reg fab?
I can't be the only one that sees it right?
nah I see it too kinda
Also its Moai not Maui, that's a movie character
Bruh with the way it is shaped, it looks like we're throwing grenades up a Moai statue's nose.
That has me cackling tbh.
Apparently they also added bot cities
Oh?
yeah
back a while ago, they it's probably an accident but you could play bot cities on diff 3 if it was a depot destruction mission
Ah
theres something about just running right at enemys with an etool thats just so gender
Slight grump: Maui isn't a "just" a movie character, he's a major trickster demi god in Maori/Harrison/Polynesian mythology.
That I did not know.
it's actually about the same as servants of freedom just with an extra booster, otherwise it's more or less the same content wise
hrm, not sure i'm fond of their directon with armor passives lately, the last two have felt more cosmetic than genuinely impactful
at the very least this offers some benefit while you're alive, even if it isn't really a great one
When's this one drop
thursday
IOt's like saying Hercules is just a movie character <.<. Hoenstly worst, because Maui is such a major piece of mythology here. (sorry, it just rankles)
theyre pretty significant buffs
Yeah, that c ould easily become a new favourite passive for me, honestly
At least on the bot front
I wish the armor looked good
I am excited for the lever action rifle tho
YOOOOOOOOOO
This was made for me
The senator lover
i mean they're alright, but i don't really see them as particularly enticing over something like extra stims or universal buffs like siege ready or peak physique
like reloading or drawing a sidearm doesn't really feel like a problem for me, it'd be nice for the senator ig
ig cosmetic is a little harsh but it feels quite niche
As someone who leans on their sidearm quite a bit (People be sleeping on the verdict), those are huge buffs
new MO, new Bot faction
Bots are eating good today apparently
can't wait to see what the new units look like
They have at least two new units - a flamethrower? trooper
and a hulk variant with incin mortars
And a new variant of the shield dev
that is VERY NASTY
||He doesnt ahve a mg anymore. he has a cookout||
fire armor is cooking
Yeah, these guys are nasty ,very fun!
Sweet Liberty
How fast does he shoot that thing and how quickly do the pellets melt you
A direct hit is pretty fucking lethal
but he's not very fast with it
the big c hange with Incerination Corps is that incidential fire is a lot more dangerous now from them
they have a red/white color sceheme, and hits form their stuff ignite you
They also have a new grenade, incin impacts
rather htna the normal trooper grenade
hate it when i go to fight insurgents and they throw a molotov at me
That'll be annoying if they chuck one on me while im pinned down
Yeah, incineration corps is no joke
Glad I bought the heavy fire resist armor earlier for de sickle shenanigans
So, so far, here's what i can tell on Incin Corps
||Devs, Troopers are replaced with Incin Corps versions - new coat of paint. makes them look more armored? i think my brain is just playing trickso n me though.
Their shots ignite.
Troopers can now throw incin grenades. Rocket Devs, Incin Hulks, and normal devs dont seem any different other than phosphor rounds to ignite you
New Flamethrower Trooper - dont really seem much of a threat, ahve the same wind up
new version of the Heavy Dev who has an Incin Shotgun. Might be mixed in with old style heavy devs too who fire slower, longer range shots? cant tell.
New version of Obliterator Hulks - the ones you find on evac missions. Has a flaming mortar||
Big thing is that stray fire is way more dangerous on account of you catching on fire
I did a mission in stealth armor and other than needing to dive a lot, i was fine
but my temamates seemed to die like crazy
is the weapon model any different or is it just a flamer hulk with a paint scheme
and do the mortars leave puddles or is it more like an incin hellpod explosion
||It uses the Obliterator Hulk model, wiht a paint scheme. No rockets, has phosphor blasters and incin mortar that it can fire. Mortar leaves a flaming puddle, like various incin stuff in the game arleady does||
OOOOOGGGGG
Yeah, it can fire them pretty rapidly too.
Very much a faction that punishes you for trying to stay in one place and hunker down
Mortar and impact phosphors appear to be the same, btw
oooogh man i will need to switch out my bot playstyle a lot
My old reliavble loadout worked just fine, so i'm happy 😛
Shield Gen stays winnin.
I'm very much a "hunker down with an HMG in one spot for a bit, then reload and move" kinda guy, so this'll hurrrrt
Sounds like it's doing whatr it's meant to!
Anywa,y yeah, fun! i'm happy
def want well MORE ILLUMINATE and shit
but this'll be a fun tide us over
Ahhhhh i can't even play em yet, away from my pc till thursday
Can't wait to get my ass kicked tho
Feel free to @ me if any combat clips get posted ill need em to tide me over

It’s High Noon, Helldivers! Round up a posse and mosey to an untamed galaxy with this Premium Warbond overloaded with weapons, explosives and armour for this season and beyond.
Requires base game, paid purchase of Super Credits, and...
Yehaw
Hulk Firebomber has flamer and firebomb mortar launcher
Incendiary MG Devastator is same as Heavy Devastator but has a slower firing MG that lights you on fire
Conflagration Devastator has shield like Heavy Devastator but has a flame shotgun
Pyro Troopers have a flamer and explodable backpack
Also semi-related, the troopers with rocket launchers seem to now shoot big laser blasts instead of a rocket
all flame corps troopers seem to be the uparmored raider variants
Damn. Incin Corps sound like a pain. I'll need to save and grind supercredits for Freedom Flame warbond stat.
I look forward to the weapons, they seem fun
Stealth armor works well, you can dive
Thanks for the updates! I was basing on what I could see in game. Knew I didn't get everything right
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY
OH MY GOD
they are fucking done with us
Oh tip for city maps: often the rares are concentrated in PoIs outside the city
These new flamethrower bots are fun as hell.
They really are!
They're also showing up a lot of diff 10 players as total frauds
it's pretty funny
oh god what if i come back and i'm outed as a fraud by these guys
We'll have to run you out of town
Sorry. We don't make the rules
😭 man im legit scared as hell don't do that to me
The conflagration devs are a menace
It's the Mortar hulks i find the most scary, they'll two tap you real happily
I do hope we get more Jet Brigade thoguh, with soem upgrades\
by upgrades i mean ||Gimme jetpack hulks and devs. DO IT COWARDS||
Have they done city bots yet? Cause these look very much like something that would be easily airdropped into city maps
Ironically i believe at some point someone posted that we have city bots now
Ah yeah here it is
Yep, thsoe appear to spawn only in city maps from waht i've gathered. And city maps now happen sometimes for bots, havnet hit one yet
How much of a pain in the ass are jammer striders?
They scramble inputs like Illuminate monoliths
So not nearly as bad as full jammers
Woe, ultimatum upon ye
Oooh so not full jams
still sounds like a situation for a hellbomb which you know what that means
Does it still jam if you take out the strider
Even if i don't intend to die it's just good housekeeping to drop samps off before playing nuclear football
mainly wondering if it's two specific targets or if taking out the strider stops it
I would assume strider goes down it goes down
which makes spear stonks even higher in bots
I've almost exclusively switched from spear to anti tank turret
Either I'm in the knife fighting range of EAT's and RR's, or I'm at long enough range for the turret
You could not pay me to give up the spear as my main launcher option
wasp is my secondary option in that regard, usually on bugs and illuminate
i played too much arma to not enjoy the spear
My man
not an arma player but i've always been a javelin lover in any battlefield game with it
A javelin lover, a javelin lover, and a javelin lover walk into a bar
but yeah the emplacement having 30 rounds(15 takedowns of anything that needs 1 spear missile), and just stays there until it runs out of shots is just great
enemies tend to ignore it if there's no one in it too
<@&1206091872716595200> Have you considered DIVINIG INTO HELL
yupyup
yes
Also i got the werdiest glitch earlier
where this guy was alive, but showed on my corpse as a torso
<@&1206091872716595200> One more for bots?
Merely a flesh wound
Sorry cheese 😦
nah its fine, the timing was just very funny
@oblique hazel we got a slot
bit too late for me at this point
All good
<@&1206091872716595200> one more slot
Eh, we're full, i'd rahter not kick anotehr ranomd
Yeah, sit seesm to be a current bug
very odd
Rest up @sage plume
will do
They did NOT fix the snake diver bug (it's even more hilarious now)
#Helldivers2
Imagine they do a sneaky (Blatant) cyberpunk meme and have a Devastator Elite that is fast as fuck and likes to just melee and shotgun your ass.
I have been suggesting, for a while, a Shield-devastor with a boosterpack and stripped down body armor, plus a shotgun.
So like much more skeletal looking, big booster pack, shield, and shtogun, and it just tries to boost charge into the helldivers and starts blasting
If it starts doing the dash cancel bs of Earth Defense Force Fencer, I am sniping that bastard from over 300m away.
(My trhought is it';d have very low armor, and only so-so body hp - so if you can get around it's shield, it folds pretty fast, but it;'s main thing is the threat of OH FU- in your faceness.
Very much a Distraction Carnifex for the bots)
Is it bad I kinda want the Gas to be able to be ignited?
Ye, would lead to too much griefing etc
Sad. Would have been epic to have a gas buddy and have them spray an entire base before someone lights the match.
#helldivers2 #helldivers2gameplay #helldivers #ps5 #pcgaming #gaming
Flame bots have been really fun so far, I just wish the shotgun devs couldn’t consistently oneshot me through heavy inflammable armor
Though come to think of it, I wonder if it’s just that enough pellets are clipping me in the head
Ok, just started facing off against the Incinerator Corps. The Flamethrower bois seem to have taken a page out of our books and blow themselves up regularly.
Is funni
<@&1206091872716595200> anyone up for helldivin?
sure
sure
Yeah it turns out a shotgun at close range is deadly
Nah that can't possibly be it 
Shotgun devs are scary ime
Can't believe they gave the developers shotguns
I've played one mission against the incin brigade and my favourite memory is rounding a corner, seeing a shotgun dev and having just enough time to say "Oh shit" before getting instantly killed
My dumbass read this as developers instead of devastators
"What fucking devs have shotguns????"
Incin Corps are fun
I do wish they would add these specialist constellations in as random reinforcement waves to standard maps on all worlds
Would shake things up a lot
Suddenly have Jet Brigade or Incin Corps show up on a standard bot drop
Or Predator Strain show up during a bug beach
This warbond was made for me for real
Literally every part of it was like "Amko would love this"
I've heard complaints from friends not so much about the incendiary guys so much
But moreso that the fire resist armour cost super credits
And they're kinda very useful
thats every armor, tbqh
outside of the ones you get from helldivers mobilize
given you can farm hundreds of super credits in a few hours its not as bad as Helldivers 1 locking the extremely important all-terrain boots perk in a DLC you have to purchase with real money
it still sucks
especially when something like the de sickle which practically needs the fire armor is also paid and in a seperate thing
I'd been pleasantly surprised that I quickly accrued enough super credits to buy a few warbonds when I bought it during the christmas sale
Though I did open my wallet a month or so ago as there's such a backlog of warbonds
Though this was on top of buying a few individual items through the super store
I just really wish they would give the senator a normal crosshair
Why does it have the laser weapon crosshair
The Senator crosshair is so bad
Right?
Why does it have the laser crosshair instead of the ballistic crosshair
The fact there isn't a concerted effort to get that changed brigading on the subreddit makes me think I'm taking crazy pills
usually I think its around 10-11 sweden time? (UTC +1)
Yeah if it drops when the store resets that should be in 3 hours
Yeah they just need their morning coffee first
We will! Normally it's leaked, but f or some reason the leakers cant find it in the datamines
this is causing hilarious amounts of sepculation
this is especially funny since its model has been in the game files for ages
I think since launch actually
so we've known its existed in some form for a while, but people still can't find stats for it
what do you think the stats r gonna be
probably gonna get slotted into the DMR section, likely medium pen perhaps more damage than the base diligence, rounds reload
it would be hilarious if it used the same bullet as the Senator, and thus did the same damage, had the same pen while having a scope and more range
god i wish
Inital leak mining may have fiound it, it looks like 300 damage, 100 durable, ap 3?
i’ll take it
it is confirmed to be a marksman rifle from the trailer
Hmm
Perhaps that has something to do with daylight savings?
I know Sweden doesn't change over until the 30th, so it might be out of sync with your timezone
I know it is for is in the US
Yeah, it's almost certianly out of synch
(which is why I was wrong about it at least)
hence the "Annoying"
It's extra annoying becuase when daylight savingsh appens here, it'll probably end up back at being 9pm my time
shit's werid
11:00 UTC +1 is when they post updates and seemingly release stuff
or rather whenever it's 11 in sweden
or rather CET (Central European Time)
<@&1206091872716595200> Warbond out, but appears to be borked, the lever action aint there
Is there a missing spot where it should be?
Warbond doesn't seem to exist for me
first page, seems to be a bugged space
I'm restarting my game to see if that fixes it
it will
this is how we beat the dataminers. you just don't put the gun in the game
Apperntly if you restart your game it should be fixed
I did do that though.. ill try again I suppose
Well, it's fixed now, but it cost me medals =x
Mhmm
Annoying
Talon is a laser senator, 1 less ap, no recoil, higher fire rate.
Seems to be about 7-8 shots before it overheats?
6 in my expereince if you really fan it
Ah, my count being off isnt that surpsing
but you can basically shoot forever if you space them, very good
I think verdict is still going to be my sidearm of choice
though i need to test senator with the new armor
Actually the Talon might be my go-to now
Though I am biased towards laser guns
I'm honestly tempted to run double sickle+talon+quasar for the full Star Wars loadout
Deadeye is pretty fun
pretty much exactly what oyu want from a marksman rifle thing
Also very g ood for taking a teamamte's head off if you need to prove a point
bullet drop is a bit ick though
it's not like suepr bad, just isnt quite as fast/reliable at longer anges as i'd like
Anyone get a screenshot of what’s in the superstore now please?
Gahahahahaha
"Fuck i'm good" i say as i snipe an anti-air base from over 300 meters away
theni step on a mine and die
Early thoughts on deadeye: VEry nice scout/sniper weapon. Bad in a full onfirefight as you'd expect , bring a good dueling sidearm or supprot. but for a scouty hit and run weapon, it's v. nice
Thank you
Does it actually shoot?
yep
use it with the ultimatum
The lever action is pretty neat
Armours look cool. I'm just not sure if I would use them for the buff
The buff with the senator is pretty insane
You end up basically ammo limited, and not much else
what's the ap on the deadeye
AP3. 300/100 damage/durable iirc
ooo
It also has serious finch - one hit will flinch a dev, which is very nice
Kills devs in 3 body/1 head. Really good vs reinforced Striders since it instant pops their rockets with a direct hit
Reload is slugger/punisher style. A little awkward since you have to manually stop it to let you zoom in again.
Not a good firefight weapon, but if you like being a sneaky git and don't mind leaning on your verdict, is really good for that so far
How's her firerate in a pinch, compared to something like the DCS?
No idea. Very vulnerable to getting flinched though, and it takes forever (in a fire fight, it's actually pretty snappy) to reload
So... Try not to rely on it in firefights
this is so awesome
cheers
in any case i still have to finish chemical agents + ill prolly wait till they fix the bug where the gun doesn't show up in the warbond for some godforsaken reason before i get it
They already did. Was fixed within 15 minutes
I tip my heat to ya, one dead man to another.
<@&1206091872716595200> any of you ramblers looking to posse up
The jetpack is so fun
Let me in
Amko
Just noticed you put that out rn
*Also you haven't accepted me fren request ingame
Oh fuck yeah love the brush gun
the Deadeye is just a scoped brush gun
Out here shooting Terminators with .45-70 gov’t.

Make it give more stamina on hot planets and less stamina on cold planets too
hoverpack is goated as fk
can even give you roof access to alot of buildings out in the fields, have yet to test it out in a city
40-70 GOV (Deadeye) ONETAPS OVERSEERS ON THE HEAD
YEEHAW
makes me wish there was a medium siege ready armor
that reload speed feels really nice
You and Havoc both
yep
why is there two heavy ones!?
why doesn't the SC store like JUST NOW fill the missing one from the warbond
ughhhh

NCR Ranger fit
no duster, no body armor, the helmet's the only thing that somewhat matches
it's close enough for now
Tbh I think it looks cool. NCR Ranger fit
it's definitely a sexy cowboy costume from spirit halloween
Exactly the look i put together last night when messing around
it's the closest thing the Helldivers can get (depicting members of other governments is illegal)
okay then whats your suggestion to replicate it then
christ
try to post something silly and immediately get people jumping down my throat
Sorry
I didn't mean to come off so harshly, we were just joking earlier about it being a stripper outfit
Trailblazer and Ground Breaker are the only ones that look like coats, and they're not particularly western
I guess that killzone one is fairly duster-esque
There really isn't an armor that looks like the ranger veteran armor
As for the ranger patrol armor, the new medium armor is decent
{Pretty shitty joke, tbh. Both for being gross at sex workers, and for dumping on Skaian.
fwiw, i liked it, and my post was meant as a "Oh hey i came up with that too! neat" thing. not sure if the tone came through tho
yeah i got that
Wasn't dumping on her, can we not turn this into someone needing to be a bad person situation
I apologized, I was rude, didn't mean to come off that way
Fair. Just wanted to emphaize i really didnt like it as a joke. Sad my piece, happy to move on now
Had to get your licks in, I get it
this is not a good way to move on from a conversation.
lets stop, please
I'd love to
There is one medium armor type that if they put a duster on would be a really good veteran ranger / riot gear analogue
I think 2/3 armors use it with various palettes and gubbins
As for helmet, the light gunner is definitely up there
i just wish they gave us a full spread of light-medium-heavy armor for new perks, the new perk is the only one that has that lately
medium siege ready when...
That's just a theory
I think it would be awesome
But I also want the LibPen optic on the railgun
Even if it's just the 75m range option
The railguns optic is like the worst part of it ime
For real
The LibPen optic is sufficiently sci fi that even giving it a low power magnification would help the railgun feel a lot better
Btw, any verdict enjoyers around? I just got it and am trying to figure out its niche vs say, the senator
My only thought is if they're doing it as a balance thing, but... Eh. Tbh, i still think asthetics and perks should be sperate
Big verdict fan
Big verdict fan here! It's excellent as a nimble chaff clearing tool that can mag dump to deal with mediums
TLDR: It's a fighting sidearm
I like it alongside clumsy/low ammo primary/supports
It's the one you carry for using in brawls and emergencies
It's got much faster reloads, better magdump capaiblites, and more? damage per mag than the senator
at cost of less ap (3 vs 4)
It can still down devs and zerkers in a single headshot
but it's a lot better at just blasting them down in emergencies
My goto on bots is Purifier/Verdict
and i use the Verdict as an almost primary a lot of the time
Verdict is just a solid side arm in general, can take care of most chaff and still deal enough damage to medium enemies. It can also magdump in a ping really well and faster overall reload than the senator
Say you are running the HMG and get pressed while low on ammo. Just pull the verdict.
Flanked with a dominator? Verdict.
Too close for your Xbow? Better guess it's verdict time
Noted! Thanks folks
The only place i feel the senator super wins out is it's abiltiy to kill hulks -0 ap4 is def nothing to sneeze at
but in practical terms, AP3/125 damage/8 shots is just really good
Also i find the verdict much easier to aim
it also has a laser pointer in 3pv which makes getting headshots while running and gunnning a lot easier
Senator's a lot better when you can sneak up on things or have the time to place your shots
The ammo efficiency also makes it a nice cover for hungry primary + AT support combos without needing to commit to a supply pack
My bot loadout is literally Purifier/VErdict/RT/Gas - THough dead eye might steal purifer's place for Sneakybreaki shennagins
And i really do use the verdict a ton
also 125/ap3 is enough to down most? all? troopers with a body shot
and 8 troopers dead + faster reload is a lot more useful than senator in those sitautions
love the verdict
it does what you want a sidearm to do
the "oh fuck i am knocked down and enemies are all around my and my gun is empty"
whip out your pistol and start popping shots
Space deagle my beloved.
it creates space, it has fire rate, it has stopping power
My bot loadout has been Crossbow/Dagger/Gas Grenades for the longest time, but I look forward to trying out the new yeehaw laser pistol instead of the Dagger.
im awaiting the call to action
<@&1206091872716595200> Who's up to get incinerated
Can't believe I'm blasting killer robots from outer space with fucking .45-70 Gov't.
can bulk fabricators be killed by eruptor?
I have seen one once and it got killed by teammates while I was elsewhere on the map
So no idea!
They're gigantic though
Watching a video, looks like the answer is probably yes?
we saw a few, Havoc tossed thermites into one and it blewed up
i tossed HE grenade into one and it didnt blowed up
I think you mightve missed, since I got ragged by a explosion nearby when I was trying to hover on near it to chuck an explosive in there
I'm gonna take a guess and say that the eruptor is likely to do the job
head aches bones hurt but hells must be dove <@&1206091872716595200>
NCR armour from Fallout New Vegas
Yes
It's actually pretty easy up close too
Eruptor No 1!
Def nice it got AP4, esp with the deadeye coming out
Wait, the Eruptor got AP4?
latest patch 🙂
sorry but I'm getting huge nerd emoji energy from that helmet
nah the helmet is awesome
yeah it is
dont remember it having the little scanner bit tho
but when I switched channels in the first split seconds of processing the image I saw
🤓
lmfao
the dynamite has fuse settings as follows: 5, 15 and 60 seconds
<@&1206091872716595200> its time
ill be there soon ish
oh my god i just saw it

You’re asking to early
You a 4-stack or a 3-stack?
Just like the jump pack, yup
Didn't even know that about the jump pack tbh, guess I never tried
Was wondering what would happen if I used it while already falling guess I never thought that with the jump pack
Mission status: SICK
but also yeah the hoverpack is looking like flamethrower will be back on the menu for me
hoverpack into bugs must be awesome
its good into bots but risky because they shoot you
what's the advantage to using it on bots?
Up high = I SEE YOUR SKULLS
fair
i've also heard the terms ap value 3, 4 and 5 being thrown around in regards to medium and heavy/heavy antitank armor penetration values, but what's the distinction between ap 1 and 2?
Positional mobility
Aura farming
Idk tbh
I just use it cus it's cool
Especially with eruptor it's also good
And hiding behind cover while charging eruptor then popping up to kill a heavy uni n spend the rest of my airtime using the eruptor on whatever else is there is fun
On illuminate I love to use it too but that's cus I love the hoverpack and now they know how it feels
it goes REALLY WELL with quasar
the hover is more than enough to charge aim and fire
and the recharge and overheat cooloff are basically the same time
it is just an all-around wonderful mobility tool
<@&1206091872716595200> anyone availble?
uh sure lemme finish searching this tower in DF and ill hop on
ah sonofabitch
lmao
real lmao
something something skill issue get better wifi
that's a joke btw
Uhhh.
I don't actually know if anything has ap 1. Lemme check something real quick...
Okay, so The only things with ap1 that do damage are various bullets at odd penetration angles
The big thing is that while there's plenty of stuff AP2 penetrates, if you're matching AP, it's a 50% damage penalty. So the jump to AP3 is significant
for real when are we gonna get rid of this triangle crosshair for the senator
Ty ty
important to note that installing the mod with HD2MM is basically the only way, and there's a sister mod BetterMapMarkers
Considering I'm seeing mods, I'm assuming it's the "As long as you keep mods to cosmetic then we don't see anything." kind of stance?
Keep it client side and nothing that messes with nProtect and an emphasis on use at your own risk
I hope just client-side cosmetic and ui stuff doesn't mess with nProtect
considering that it has a rather active nexus page i'd imagine people aren't getting banned
but again it's a "at your own risk"
<@&1206091872716595200> It's that time again
alrightyo

These bots done yee'd their last haw. The Deadeye absolutely rips. This might be my favorite primary right now.
Maybe I'll have to give the Constitution another go.
I've been using its punch-through to control Voteless while potting Overseers. It's great.
with siege ready you get so much use from it
8/72 is a loooot of ammo if you can aim
that’s fire as fuck
it's just been my Look™ for so long that switching to something else doesn't feel right

sadly i hate not using the black and yellow so i run siege ready and the righteous helmet
Also Padded on medium armor is really good anyway
Everyone wants it
The fact everyone wants it makes me think that's why AH doesn't wanna give it out
yeah probably
genuinely such a brilliantly done moveset
turns out you can find backpacks in the world gen but theyre in malfunctioning hellpods which only spawn in lower difficulties
oughhhhh i hate firebomber hulks
i dive to put myself out and the fucker has used the fucking quantum supercomputer in his stupid fat metal peabody to pre fire one of his flaming shit bombs directly on top of me
the power of indirect fire
i love firebomber hulks
They're quite fun
I find the devastators less fun
Heavy ones
The ones with shield I mean
same
i love enemies that force you to maneuver
them and the flamer troopers
Tho I've learned keeping significant distance n taking it slow with the eruptor instead of flying in there with the hover jetpack makes things a lot easier
who are REALLY aggressive about flushing you out of cover
as flamethrower troops should be
its what theyre literally meant to do
Using the jetpack to get high ground instead of using it to look cool
It can be both at once
I'd like if the flame thrower was less prone to igniting yourself I tried it once but I immediately lit myself on fire
But then the heavy devastators just shotgun you to death
how's fire resistance like the new folks
I've been loving the eruptor with hover pack
Flying over a tank to erupt on its vents
Saying erupt feels wrong
But I'm going with it now
@magic remnant is the HD2 Mod Manager broken or somethign? all the posts on its page are saying stuff like that
Theres 2.
The Incendiary MG Devastators fire a slow rpm incendiary machine gun and have the backpack
The Conflagration Devastators have the flame shotgun
I like that the flamethrower troopers are faster than other troopers too.
The bots have some fucking teeth now.
I mean they kinda already did, but they're bigger and scarier now.
i mean, i think the Troopers in general are a LOT more aggressive in their tendency to assault your positions
since the ai changes
but yeah the flame troopers embody this to an even further level
heresy
Love the lever action already
fits exactly what i wanted for a DMR
and pairs rather well with my verdict
Also, find myself enjoying the medium armour, for once
effect comes up more often than i realized consdering the dead-eye's groove, also its just nice having a bit of armour with the prosthetic arm on the same side as mine
its so good
Its been a funny reminder that despite my love for normal ass rifle and shotguns i can be a crackshot at times
I hot joined some folk to test it out and before i could even check if the scope could be adjusted i popped atleast 3 dev heads 100 out
its got long range punch and close range ergonomics
My only complaint is the reload but that's gonna be thing just due to its nature
and that's exactly why i pack my verdict anyways
its an exhilarating experience, ain't it?
It's def real fun
I've been loving it with scout armor
because it really works well wtih SNEAKY SNEAKY
esp weh nyou dive into cover to reload and the bots are just left going ?????\
Like said ive a fondness to the new medium gunslinger due to the side the prosthetic arm is on
<@&1206091872716595200> Anyone for some 10 dives in 15 minutes?
I'm ready now if you want to dive before they kick in
Side note, we can still in theroy win this MO
We just have to murder 800 million bugs
I thought they were the same and switched between the gun and the shotgun

them bots aint ready for this smoke

boutta drop into the creek with a lever action and really show them this time
I'm curious why they had to specify toxin-free homes
no fire retardants in the housing construction maybe
Because theyre toxin-free, duh
(they totally have toxin in them)
because the toxin is very expensive, douglas
The replacement homes they build won't be toxin-free
We must be reminded of what we lost
idk why steam records sound so weird
i am so annoyed at how long i left my rifle unloaded in this clip

@keen zinc GET IN MY VC
@brittle karma opened a spot for you
It'd be cool that if we succeed and this truly permanently stops the black hole or something that we get a binary system with the planet ivis and the black hole
Or maybe its sun and the black hole
Also realising that these planets must be lightyears apart they're moving the entire black hole or something with like warp technology
Which I mean
Sounds quite insane
I mean assuming a whole bunch n realising this is Sci fi it's like they can't touch the black hole unless they have tech that can go in and out of a black hole. Either way dunno what inside a black hole is like either.
So they must have some force of gravity pulling it along or something like a force that doesn't need to come in physical contact.
Why am I overthinking about how the illuminate are doing this
If they used a setup outside the black hole but near it I feel like super earth would've simply found it and destroyed it already so I guess it must be something different.
Unrelated thought but irl canvassing an area is just like yeah sure lotta manpower but imagina trying to cover an entire black hole. thats insanely large plus you have to account for all the things with light n such.
Neat

calling Gatlin pure hearted is comedy
of everything here, Lasdog's placement feels the most wrong to me
that drone has hate for freedom in its heart
It's just so exiecited to FIRE ALL TEH BOOLLET
gatling turret is still salty for getting kickedd out of the hair cutters school for trying to demonstrate that you can cut both beards and head hair with a single cut
I mean, uh, it's not wrong as per sday
also, oof, that was the worst set of teammates i have had in al ong time
Just too lows level to have really built up teh gaMe sense ofr diff 10 =x
the worst I've heard of secondhand (friend playing with randoms) was a group who complained constantly that the game was too hard and bad, and upon surreptitious investigation (dead spectator camera) it was revealed that they didn't know how to hold RMB to aim their guns
not just full ADS but no reticle whatsoever
Oh dear
This was just people not relaly brinign loadouts that were effective and not reinforcing folkk fast
Unironically, I think Deadeye + Talon + Commando is actually a really good loadout for D7s.
Bugs or bots? I'd def take that loadout into bots
It's actually very similar to my current D10 bot iteration
Bugs. Though you probably want the Eruptor over the Deadeye for the AoE.
And then the Talon gives you good heavy punch up-close.
man you're at D10 i'm still struggling with D7 lmao
Nothing wrong with playing on the lower difficulties
My group can do 10s but we usually just chill on 7-8
that's fair tbh i chill at D6 but huuuuuuuge struggle bus with D7 lmao
how are people finding the eruptor shrapnel changes?
that's a sad commentary in and of itself
(A reference, not what I think lol)
I want to play more often
yeah i just get burned out so quick with it these days
I play with randoms, and the quality of them is usually pretty good on 10s
fair enough lol
But to me 10 is a nice mix of actually challenging without being like, too much
