Buy the skin packs for classes so you can earn the right to grind through the challenges to unlock the skins.
Instead of just getting the skin outright.

I don't see how it's scummy given you can earn everything in game
you can earn everyhting ingame IF you play the game as a second job. you have to unlock things you otherwise wouldn't to get the stuff you want or event get the full earnings off the battlepass, then still need to earn extra from missions (at 10 per set picked up)

Different strokes for different folks I guess

Not even really.

you used to have to find 10 samples to earn a single research point, and some weapons took 10-12 research points to completely upgrade. and you'd get 9-13 samples per match at the most common difficulties lol

not the legs themselves, unless you're looking at the back of them.

If you can hit a shot to the back of a leg you can open the leg armor

They're great if you don't have call in modifiers.

EATs are alright but I just don't see the use in them vs most other strats
they're incredibly useful

EATs suck ass as soon as call-ins take longer to drop
they're built to be rapid response weapons
as soon as the rapid goes away they're bad.

Something about seeing 5 bile titans just pisses me off now.
Followed by bile spewers and chargers
median steeple
I LOVE THE ACIDS HITBOX
spare dome
chargers just have me rolling my eyes
spare dome
they were so much easier to strategem kill in HD1 π¦
median steeple
because we could upgrade them
ripe quest
It's a mixed bag because with bugs I find it leaning more into the DRG problem where you practically need AoE weapons because they infinitely scale with density but with the bots I need to aim and actually be smart
median steeple
let us upgrade out shit please
ripe quest
Both have fun moments
calm salmon
I like where chargers are at, but their ass needs to be an actual weakspot
spare dome
yea but the 2d plane also made kiting them around very predictable and easy
calm salmon
As an actual enemy I like that they force me to have terrain awareness
sterile stone
I almost deem it mandatory to bring a personal shield when fighting bugs cause of just how bs Stalkers and hunters can be
median steeple
I love playing bots but the bot drop spam is insane sometimes, the recoilless comes in clutch with shooting dropships but then they spawn another patrol on you
I watched one spawn next to us when we were fighting a bot drop already
north sedge
the game is more fun when things are going insane
ripe quest
tbf I get a similar frustration with bugs when I'm fighting a breach near a nest and a few patrols just happen to wander nearby
median steeple
they dont just wander they spawn close to you
spare dome
yea but getting ragdolled by a bullet you dodged and landing 30ft from your team and under a fresh dropship just doesnt strike me as the fun type of chaos
fkn fartberries
calm salmon
they dont just wander they spawn close to you
autobots do the darktide/vermintide thing
which is infuriating
patrols will spawn literally on top of you
just pop in and now you're fighting 4 at-st, a bunch of random adds and whatever fuckin else
median steeple
then they call in another bot drop
or a group of hunters show up which can also spawn bug breaches
calm salmon
I don't mind bug breaches tbh
bugs aren't hard to fight
you just need to make sure you have somewhere to go
Which isn't hard to do.
So even a string of them is just a lesson in resource management and bringing the correct call-ins for the job.

Fighting bugs is literally

killing bug holes and factories does not stop the amount of enemies on the map π
as the timer goes down, you will see more elite enemies and patrols. These usually all have units that can (and will) immediately call more enemies.
calm salmon
killing bug holes and factories does not stop the amount of enemies on the map οΏ½...
No, but it keeps morons from aggroing them and spawning god knows what

The bugs especially, everything up to a brood commander can keep calling more bug breaches

The weapon itself performs fine but what it offers is like, ~ it's ok
It can be fun but I'd rather just use an extreme on either end with either a Flamer or an Autocannon/Railgun.
solar gorge
yeah, it's just you get stuff that does everything it can do but better AND without frying your mates every shot
but it is a fun weapon to use don't get me wrong
zealous basin
frying teammates is a bonus thats accounted for in its power budget
ripe quest
If ammo was a bit harder to come by it'd be an easier choice.
buoyant pecan
It seems like such a trash weapon lmao
it damages enemies through armor
still not my fav and i do think it needs a touch up
it doesnt need to be autocannon strong but it should at least kill the riders on striders in one go and damage the devasters/medium armor stuff noticably.

if i changed riposte should i change it to mercy killer

I've been doing uncanny/flesh tearer on my spam chorus zealot to great effect but it's the mk6 knife, still should be fine on mk3 but precog is also perfectly fine
timid pilot
alright ill change block to crit chance and riposte to flesh tearer then and see how she goes
shy river
You got options on the knife there's a good amount of viable blessings
Just not lacerate pls
timid pilot
why is lacerate so bad?
spare dome
the lasers were pretty great in HD1, it's the fact that we're 3rd person now that they just dont really translate their power
minor sage
It punishes you for playing well, and only works if you don't headshot
spare dome
like you'd just sweep the Scythe left and right and you hit everything, not so much here
shy river
It's anti synergizing with uncanny and yeah it's incentivizing bad play with body hits
minor sage
the lasers were pretty great in HD1, it's the fact that we're 3rd person now tha...
There's two things imo lasers need. First is xhair heat indicator, second is more dmg
Playing them is just annoying
Even if they didn't suck
spare dome
honestly? i think step one is fix the crosshair
what th efuck is any of that
spinning nonsense shit
what is that even telling me
minor sage
Oh yeah
spare dome
what is it DOING
minor sage
I just ignore it
spare dome
other than diSTRACTING ME
after that yeah maybe damage
HD1 also did not have any central heat indicator
you'd just learn from practice and by sound cues/tempo
and feather your trigger appropriately
zealous basin
minor sage
HD1 also did not have any central heat indicator
Yeah but the game was small
spare dome
but i cant honestly tell in HD2 so far but i havent used it much because seriously that crosshair wtf even
minor sage
So flicking your eyes to the indicator
Is not a big deal
Compared to a fullscreen game
spare dome
uh
it was fullscreen back then too
you didnt really look at it
you'd be too busy watching four corners of your screen
and triyng to dodge a supply strategem
it's in fact the same indicator

Hmm ok
spare dome
cause yea
minor sage
Yeah i think they just
spare dome
alpha damage is lacking
spare dome
and accuracy MAYBE? but accuracy is hard to say because that fucking crosshair
but if it is anything like HD1
then the scythe should do 50% extra damage when you fire it in the red
it's just that right now it isn't fun to shoot at all
so i don't feel any motiviation to learn that, and i don't even know if it'd be worth learning
minor sage
Does it
spare dome
yeah tracking bugs especially with it is just
nightmarish lmao
and then a lot of thiccer bots want you tracking headshots
which again
sharp zodiac
Time to unveil this riven
minor sage
yeah tracking bugs especially with it is just
Main prob is the transition from 2d to 3d i think
minor sage
If they made it a non headshot weapon or if it stunned
spare dome
supply strategem used to be opt-in
las weapons meant you could not take one at all
that's no longer a side benefit
we always have a resupply strat
spare dome
so they probably do need something more
minor sage
3m is like nothing
spare dome
they walk a fine line tho
i dont remember the name of the laser shotgun
but that thing was stupid
basically bottomless ammo patrol evaporator
that's really the other crux
if you make them REALLY good, then REALLY good players have an objectively better weapon with no ammo constraint at all
used to maybe use up two batteries in an entire set of Helldives
100% uptime once you get the tempo down for your shots
it's quite strong
minor sage
I think if they just get the heat balancing right
So it becomes a weapon balance where ammo guns have better sustained
Since they dont have to wait for it to cool
It should be fine
