Are you excited for mechs in hd2

I saw someone playing with Mechs
I'm waiting to get my hands on it to see if they're good.
But from the small clip I've seen
They turn instantly
So that's kinda nuts

There's videos of people using them
I'm sure play testers
Guy was recording it with what I can guess to be a phone
median steeple
the guy said he loaded into a game where a guy had new strats and guns
so it was either a dev goofing off or a hacker

Do most people use heavy attacks a lot on the heavy sword IX? I've taken a liking to it's ability to hit weak spots, and cleave through many at a time. I was told the sword was for light attacks.

Dead Island out of all games had this concept this expect chainswords.

junior vortex
I was thinking chainsword on shotgun.
A shotgun that can saw through your enemies with melee.
rain steppe
I mean don't throw costodes have spears with gins in them wouldn't be hard to do something similar
median steeple
guardian spears are way more than just guns on spears
tho have a melee gun combo would go hard

Dead Island out of all games had this concept this expect chainswords.
This is what I Imagine a Gears of War at home meme gun would look like

guardian spears are way more than just guns on spears
A spear in darktide would be sweet something with more rand and single target focused with maybe a less damage more stun wide attack

My idea was to make chorus a javelin
so it has some damage utility albeit minor but more importantly you can place it in a location
and still attack

i do want to be able to place chorus yeah
let me drop it or w/e
you can even remove the stun if you want and just make it a buff you can drop when fighting an elite pack

You were missing.

along with literally every scope in the game

only the red dot sights are correctly aligned

tall order when there's literally 30 of them
which is why I fucking hate the bots
ripe quest
Well there's bullet drop, not sure how much that plays into it. Crouching accuracy is really solid on most guns.
calm salmon
its all of the worst ideas of difficulty wrapped into one
bullet sponges, ranged spam, stagger spam
its literally everything wrong with ranged combat wrapped up into a nice little shit package
ripe quest
tall order when there's literally 30 of them
Oh I mean that's just stratagem territory or bad sustained killpower.
calm salmon
Oh
Cool
look at that
MY STRATAGEMS ARE FUCKING RANDOMIZED
WHICH MAKES THE ISSUE EVEN WORSE
I dunno, fuck bots.
Shitass design
there's a reason they have 1/5th the player base
calm salmon
If I can get an iota of breathing room, its a giant snooze fest.
Which is also problematic. Run up to a base, drop two eagle strikes, move to the next one.
If its a jammer or AA tower, manual labor is required
but I'm in the base, so there's tons of hard cover to run around
ripe quest
I think it's more so that they're just harder in general than Terminids. W/ the bugs you're just running and kiting all the time but with the bots you gotta like, think about whether or not you can keep up with spawns and patrols and needing an entirely different set of weapons to fight them.
calm salmon
at least the bugs are like "Here's 250 enemies on screen, have fun with ammo management" which I find more engaging.
ripe quest
The civilian evacuation missions are difficult as shit if you play it like a terminid mission but if you do the stealth strat it's a cake walk for example
calm salmon
I think it's more so that they're just harder in general than Terminids. W/ the ...

You can kinda get away with like Railgun/Railgun/GL/Autocannon
sorta kinda
ripe quest
People have been joking about the bots in Malevalon giving them PTSD lol
calm salmon
but the GL and AC guy HAVE to stick with railgun users
That's the one good thing about bot design.
Medium pen is relevant, even if its really ass to use because bots will rip you a new asshole for showing your face for 2 seconds
bugs its "Light Pen>Heavy Pen" with zero in between because the medium armor bugs are completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things
ripe quest
but the GL and AC guy HAVE to stick with railgun users
For Bile Titans yeah. AC handles Chargers better than a GL in general.
clear knot
i find bots easier to manage as a whole over bugs
calm salmon
bugs let you run away
even hunters
like, even a hunter swarm can be managed with just some terrain
walk around a rock and now its a trickle feed and you can camp your happy ass off as they come around the corner 1x1

I mean, its a clip I took for a buddy of mine cause he was fucking around with aimlabs when he got his new mouse
and I made a joke about how hd2 is just aimlabs lmao
but like, its a good showcase of "Just hit your shots" and hunter packs won't overwhelm you
and you can keep shooting and aiming while dodging if you absolutely have to
ripe quest
You're using a 1h primary, hunter packs overwhelming you is a huge skill issue to begin with.
calm salmon
i dunno what the 1h primary thing has to do with it
you can do that clip with anything but like

It's a laser lol
calm salmon
people complaining about recoil boggle my mind
"wah my gun moves when I shoot it"
just fuckin move your god damn mouse down
ripe quest
It has like no recoil
calm salmon
the only legitimate complaints about recoil are relegated to Tarkov pre patch 13 or whatever they're on now
the machine pistol has some bad recoil in third person
but that's it
the defender smg has a fire rate of 300 rounds per minute, like the grease gun
and thus has no recoil
ripe quest
It's ~500 iirc
calm salmon
close enough for horse shoes and hand grenades
ripe quest
calm salmon
Yeah, still definitely super slow

well, bloom affects the actual explosion brightness I suppose

no no I want to try maxing them out while maintining fps lol
and no I mean the actual quality of the explosion particles/sprite/whatever
calm salmon
but I don't think anything specifically controls explosion graphics quality.
true kindle
with everything on low they look hella pixelated

mhm
calm salmon
yeah I dunno bossman
median steeple
particles prob
calm salmon
sahz
median steeple
thats how it is in other games
true kindle
but they did a good job with the optimization, I get playable frames with everything on low and the upscaling set to balanced
calm salmon
balanced is just your default resolution
calm salmon
I dunno. My mistake if so
I haven't looked at the settings since I got the game lmao - outside of fucking around with SSGI
which, turns out, is gigabugged
true kindle
whatever they're using seems to be similar to FSR1 which means that balanced scales up from 59% native resolution
game put it on ultra quality by default, which is 77%
true kindle
particles prob
ok ty
ivory marlin
Hi hank
median steeple
its really hard to tell from high to med for me
calm salmon
Yeah, if I had to guess it'd be particle quality and draw distance
calm salmon
draw distance will be a double edged sword though
since now greeblies are spawning in further away which is resource intensive
rocks, vegetation, blood, limbs - stuff like that.
median steeple
actually the enemies dont spawn that far from you
like the director will spawn them within like min rendering distance
they're never far enough away for DD to be a problem
calm salmon
yeah I straight up don't see a difference between ultra and medium lmao
What I do notice is 25 lost frames lmao

lets see
300 from the premium warbond
650 from the free warbond
and about another 1000 from missions
because despite my level 50, I've not ground out bot extermination missions. All raw baby
ripe quest
hopefully a new ship section pops up for mechs but probably not
I'd imagine they would be.
median steeple
that or we get weapon upgrading from HD1

w/ the weapon attachments system they're talking about
calm salmon
can
can I put different scopes on guns
arrowhead please
I'm begging you
please let me put an actual scope on my railgun and dominator
median steeple
yes I would love to give the railgun zoom
ripe quest
CEO said suppressors and different ammo type so maybe? They already have the zoom stuff in the reload menu.
calm salmon
also, you can two shot bile titans with the railgun
just saying
the head is a triangle
shoot the fat base of the triangle
median steeple
I mean AP rounds were in HD1
median steeple
I love killing spore towers from the otherside of the map with the rail
ripe quest
I like doing it with the Dominator
calm salmon
there's nothing fun or engaging about using the Eat, RR, or AC in actual matches
median steeple
I want them to buff the AC, dont make pen armor but make it strip it or something
I love AC for bots but for bugs it's not that good
calm salmon
yeah, that shit should be stripping armor left and right
take a row of ammo from it for tradesies
calm salmon
god the flamethrower makes me sad
10 meter range
who the fuck thought that'd be fun
median steeple
the fire overtime damage is so low
ripe quest
one of my favorite weapons rn
calm salmon
I eventually just gave up on the fire achievement and did a tier 3 mission solo with only the flame thrower
to get 100 kills
its literally impossible to race people for kills with it
because literally everything is better than it
median steeple
yeah because you need to get kills with the overtime damage instead of the "impact"
its dumb
napalm really helped getting that
ripe quest
It's def bug leaning. It'll kill anything that isn't a charger or a bile titan pretty fast and without a whole lot of ammo. Sticky flames too, I can enact my DRG Driller muscle memory.
calm salmon
kills a charger in one magazine
not that that's super useful in a team fight
because you'll shoot through the charger
and into your teammate
much like the arc thrower
median steeple
man fuck them teammates
but also I've been and have sniped people with the arc thrower
its range is crazy
calm salmon
arc thrower is good, but its just super tedious to use.
Considering that's the only complaint I have for it
ripe quest
You can be super ammo efficient by playing into the sticky flames and hitting the underside but it's not really time efficient. I usually offer to backpack someone's AC or RR while running Flamer.
calm salmon
its doing way better than most other stuff right now lmao
you don't need to hit the underside of anything exhi
flamer ignores armor
outright
just like the arc thrower
ripe quest
flamer ignores armor
I'm talking about sticky flaming the floor under the Charger, not direct hitting the underside of the Charger.
calm salmon
oh
the flames on the ground are literally useless
they don't even kill scavengers
lmao
let alone a charger with 9000x the hp
median steeple
I mean they do but its really inconsistent
ripe quest
Something clearly doesn't add up because you can def kill stuff really fast with the sticky flames.
calm salmon
FWIW: The 500kg bomb has damage registration issues
calm salmon
so I wouldn't be surprised if literally everything does
ripe quest
they need to buff the penetrator
It's got a 4x weakspot mod instead of a 1.5 it's fine
calm salmon
the reliance on weakspots is a dogshit mechanic though
we've already explored this in darktide
its awful
especially with the absolute lack of stagger resistance in HD2
here's 55 ranged enemies
You get staggered every 0.5 seconds
ripe quest
Puri you're not about to tell me you go for body shots in Darktide rn
median steeple
I have only found success with liberator pen on bot missions
calm salmon
Right, but revovler and plasma gun have projectiles the size of africa
ripe quest
I have only found success with liberator pen on bot missions
I think that's what it was meant for, at least that's what it's good for.
ripe quest
Right, but revovler and plasma gun have projectiles the size of africa
That's what makes it really good because you can practically have aim assist w/ hitting weakspots.
but regardless WS hits on specifically bots are easy to hit and rewarding w/ certain weapons with how aggressive the scaling is.
median steeple
just buff its ammo
calm salmon
I mean that's my point - its WHY they're the only two guns where I actively aim for headshots
same deal with the scorcher in hd2
it has a projectile effect the size of africa
as long as you're in the zipcode of the head, its a headshot
ripe quest
Puri sometimes I worry about you
calm salmon
Puri sometimes I worry about you
body shots are consistent and reliable
I'm not a pro
nor do I slave away on aimlabs, or other training tools
that said, apparently people have trouble hitting charger legs with the railgun
so like
ripe quest
Dude puri like everything in DT has a weakspot priority rn you can just aim slightly up at them and you'll be fine
calm salmon
I am still debating on charger heads myself though
ripe quest
w/ HD2 it's less forgiving because if you're moving WS hits are not a great yield.
calm salmon
95% Charge Railgun is 3 shots to head
while its two to the leg on safe and a mag-ish from the breaker
fps mode required for unsafe mode though
ripe quest
iirc explosive weapons are great for the Charger legs thing
calm salmon
any kind of horizontal aiming and you can't see the charge indicator anymore in 3rd person
ripe quest
gets a big damage bump
calm salmon
uh
charger legs are just bugged right now
well, okay
its hard to say if its a bug or intended mechanic
but when the charger ends a charge, EVERY weapon can penetrate its legs
from the stock pistol to the railgun
median steeple
any kind of horizontal aiming and you can't see the charge indicator anymore in ...
this only happens with certain armor sets in my experience
like ones with big shoulders
its dumb but yea
calm salmon
happens with this one too
they just need to add a UI element to the crosshair
¯_(ツ)_/¯
median steeple
happens with this one too
wack
I use the armor set thats last in the store rotation
calm salmon
also this cape is tight with this armor
calm salmon
I just like this armor because its the fastest move speed and stamina recovery in the game
and has the scout perk
which is giga OP
I'm literally undetectable if enemies aren't looking at me
and the detection range is about 10 meters if they are
median steeple
yeah crouching around with that is crazy
calm salmon
you don't even need to crouch
median steeple
I think its the helmet that gives the speed boost?
calm salmon
like
SPRINTING
sprinting and you're completely undetectable
the scout perk is giga busted
median steeple
nah im talking while crouching you become even more invisible
calm salmon
there definitely seems to be a loudness mechanic with armors though - considering the not looking at you thing
I can't walk up on people with the medium or heavy armor
but I can with light - scout just makes enemies outright not react to you
but with light armor you can get weirdly close to them
median steeple
I only use medium armor for drip at this point since armor values are bugged
and med and heavy aren't giving more than they should
calm salmon
even if they fix armor values, I don't think armor is going to matter
you already die to a sneeze
a buff on "death by sneeze" is upped to "stiff breeze"

I think heavy will negate some of that but for it to be useful certain enemy types need to be toned down
like hunters
fuck them
calm salmon
not particularly worthwhile when you're moving at 3mph during sprint

vehicles
median steeple
god please give us the tank
calm salmon
they're 100% coming. Mechs are just the start.
But we should be getting an APC and shit
median steeple
im gonna be a mech slave
calm salmon
which'll make the movespeed of heavy armor functionally irrelevant, depending on how squishy vics are
median steeple
stuck to that mf at all times
there is 3 mechs, an APC, a heavy assault vehicle, a motorcycle, and a tank

iirc the helmet is the thing adding that extra bit of speed.
median steeple
thats the helldivers 1 list of shit
ripe quest
It's one of two that have stat changes
median steeple
hopefully we get those and more
median steeple
iirc the helmet is the thing adding that extra bit of speed.
yeah its the helmet that gives the speed
ripe quest
median steeple
make the one with the eye piece be able to see samples from far away
ripe quest
w/ +armor and reduced speed
median steeple
I really excited for the future of the game since they seem to have mostly fixed the server issues
and we can get to balancing and new content
calm salmon
iirc the helmet is the thing adding that extra bit of speed.
I guess my point is that the only other armor tied for speed with the green scout armor is this premium armor but its just got "extra padding" which is doing nothing right now
spare talon
honestly i hope it involves buffing other things and not nerfing the current ones
may just be me but i feel like railgun/shield gen isnt better than everything else, everything else just isnt as good as that, if that makes sense
ripe quest

There are absolutely other ones
I have 5 w/ the max speed setup
calm salmon
oh, then they're ALL premium
so, for the sake of most players
the green/brown is the fastest cause its in the free warbond
ripe quest
Puri the armor pieces are like 150 max
spare talon
so, for the sake of most players
but i mean like
not only can you get premium currency from the warbond
you can find them in missions
calm salmon
Have you. . . played with pubs?
ripe quest
I haven't spent a dime and I've played far less than you
calm salmon
Getting them to chase down POIs is a chore
granted, I do it anyway
and its easier on low diffs cause people don't feel pressure
so they're happier to follow you literally everywhere, instead of just rushing objectives then home
median steeple
honestly i hope it involves buffing other things and not nerfing the current one...
Railgun and shield are prevalent for two reasons, one is that charger and devastator spam is crazy rn and the combo is super mobile, and two everything else sucks at dealing with these enemy types

still medium armor on hulk heads? I don't actually know
wait, yes it is.
Autocannon to the slit to kills them
median steeple
I dont find hulks as much as a problem as rocket devastators
ripe quest
I dont find hulks as much as a problem as rocket devastators
Just shoot the rockets
median steeple
yes AC and unsafe rails will rock hulks
calm salmon
hulks with the flame thrower are piss easy, if annoying
hulks with anything ranged is cancer
spare talon
so an MG-43 will also kill a hulk
ive dealt no damage to hulks from the front using any primaries with med armor pen
calm salmon

MG-43 isn't a primary
fwiw
median steeple
Just shoot the rockets
I would love too if there wasnt 13 of them and 7 berserkers on my ass
ripe quest
I've gotten weakspot hitmarkers against hulks w/ the Lib Pen on a Hulk
median steeple
if I see the rocket ones first its piss easy
calm salmon
I dunno if they can actually damage hulks
spare talon
but still, you said med armor pen, which some primaries have
calm salmon
despite having "medium armor pen"
median steeple
but in the middle of fight the rockets stunlock my ass to death
so skill issue on my part right there
calm salmon
dont work
I wouldn't be surprised if there's "tiers" of pen
outside of just light/med/heavy
spare talon
I wouldn't be surprised if there's "tiers" of pen
ripe quest
I dunno if they can actually damage hulks
Revolver, Lib Pen, Dominator, one of the marksman rifles iirc, Plas
median steeple
It seems angle matters at least on the AC
ripe quest
to the head specifically
calm salmon
but the MG-43, HMG Emplacement, Autocannon can all kill hulks - the eye socket, to be specific
I've done it with all of em
calm salmon
rail is objectively the best weapon stratagem in the game
ripe quest
I'd rather have an AC for non-Hulks
median steeple
except for like killing tanks
spare talon
i honestly find anything that isnt the railgun inconsistent against armor tbh
calm salmon
so like. . . no surprise there
the "horde duty" stratagems, like the MG-43 and GL can't really hold a candle to the SG-225 breaker, let alone the stalwart
for anti armor the railgun shits on everything
either due to being bad - spear
or just overall clunky - recoilless/eat
or requiring downtime to actually aim - Autocannon
EAT should have a completely separate slot, though.
Press 6 to equip it
that way people with backpacks or other stratagems can actually pick the second one up
spare talon

spear isnt bad, its bugged to high hell
when that gets fixed, itll be nearly on par with the railgun
median steeple
the turret is fun but it handles like an aquaplaning school bus
calm salmon
and is literally useless against high level bugs lmao
and dies instantly to bots
its such a bad call-in
median steeple
EAT should have a completely separate slot, though.
EATs become downright ass when you're in a complex strat op
spare talon
the turret is fun but it handles like an aquaplaning school bus
the manned turret?
median steeple
I hate that modifer with every ounce of my existence
calm salmon
Yeah.
median steeple
the manned turret?
yea
calm salmon
The manned turret is only good for like. . . dif 7
if that
it crumples to a single charger or bile titan
spare talon
yea
ive seen it put in some serious fucking work against bots when placed on high ground
calm salmon
if the bots don't shoot at it, its amazing.
spare talon
like i was not expecting it to handle hulks but i know what i saw
calm salmon
As soon as they look at you, its joever
median steeple
yeah the only time I use it is on bot defense
calm salmon
one rocket and you're deadzo
it has some interesting interactions with the bubble call-in
but unlike psyker's bubble, its nowhere near close to "on demand"
so basically just relegated to backpack bubble
median steeple
I really really hope they change hunters
calm salmon
which is to say, bubble backpack 2 gud
median steeple
one day
if they get changed to be less annoying I will stop using shield
and embrace full dog
calm salmon
I would love for arrowhead to make the dog hover one more foot above us
two
two more feet above us
do that and its perfect
but, while I use it a lot, its always an aggravating tool at best
constantly trying to stay on completely flat ground so it doesn't kill me
not to mention the MG rover is a literal oneshot kill on you
since its at head height
on top of all of its other issues
median steeple
I think the rovers have better versions of the actual weapons
like the AC turret being way better than the normal one
median steeple
yeah its 1000% better than the one we can use
calm salmon
99% of the time it just never goes back into my backpack
regardless of how often its firing
every now and again I can see it overheat
but its clearly bugged to hell and back
median steeple
yeah it has crazy uptime that the Lib rover cant really compete with
calm salmon
On the topic of primaries though
Las-5 Scythe, Spray and Pray Breaker, Explosive Liberator
DMR Counter Sniper
those are the outright dogshit ones
median steeple
calm salmon
so far as I can tell
spare talon
which is to say, bubble backpack 2 gud
i hope we get some innate shield thats clearly weaker than the bubble shield, but still enough to be like "yeah i feel like i can live in helldive without crumpling like a soggy piece of paper"
median steeple
the spray and pray is the bot tickler
calm salmon
i mean, that's fine
the breaker SHOULD be too
but its clearly not
something about the breaker is bugged
or uh
I dunno, something about the stock breaker is just off
median steeple
pretty sure the breaker does 300dmg
calm salmon
in a bad way, to be clear.
Yeah, its 330.
Does nearly 3000dps
which isn't gamebreaking at all
median steeple
yeah is that per pellet or?
calm salmon
330 damage/however many pellets
median steeple
thats crazy
spare talon
they havent commented on it tho iirc
median steeple
yeah I got tired of that really fast so I went back to the normal liberator
calm salmon
he HATES the sg225 breaker
spare talon
may just not have seen it then
calm salmon
(The ceo of arrowhead)
median steeple
If they're gonna nerf anything its gonna be the breaker
calm salmon
wants to lower the ammo count per magazine and overall magazines
but, no, the shotguns function like darktide
say 330/8
or however many pellets there are
and that's how much each pellet does
spare talon
if im gonna be real i dont even treat it like a shotgun, with pellets in mind
i treat it like a slug
median steeple
yeah it might as well be
calm salmon
yeah, the breaker is, for all intents and purposes, a slug gun out to ~40 meters
past 40 meters you can start to feel the shot spread and damage drop off
spare talon
even if they nerf its damage i prolly will still use it cuz i just like the gun itself
frozen glen
no u wont
calm salmon
I dunno, I fuck around with everything
but always find myself going back to the breaker
1 second
median steeple
I want more assault rifles
calm salmon
sad
median steeple
we have so many shotguns
calm salmon
they broke the career tab again
but of my 38k kills, something like 35k are bugs lmao
I've cleared helldive on both bugs and bots
but holy shit do I find bots absolutely unengaging bullshit
spare talon
like its not just the damage that makes it good
its how reliable it is to land your shots, its incredibly accurate and stable, even in a game like helldivers where your crosshair is going to fucking alpha centauri
calm salmon
one guy gets a flare off
here comes three dropships
with 10 devastators each
fucking stupid game design
median steeple
which happens on bugs but at least they need to get close for that to happen
calm salmon
I'd literally rather see 6 hulks
or 3 tanks
than the stupid ass devastator spam
jesus christ I hate devastators
spare talon
I do not like fighting bots on anything higher than 7
i find bots easier than bugs on helldive honestly
frozen glen
you are crazy
calm salmon
naw bugs are way easier
median steeple
helldiver boils down to just woe bile upon ye
calm salmon
without a doubt
median steeple
I hope they limit the spawn of specials but make them stronger
give more variants of specials
like HD1
spare talon
it is possible that its just cuz quickplay has said "ok cool sending you to vietnam now" more times than not, so ive gotten more familiar with how to fight high level bots than bugs
spare talon
not a one shot

if you select a planet and difficulty
you always quickplay onto that planet
at that difficulty
spare talon
if you select a planet and difficulty
ik it will
but thats boring
i want it to mix it up more than that, so i always quickplay from the galactic war screen
spare talon
quickplay has just been a BITCH
calm salmon
I like qping into dif 6/7 bugs
and hard carrying randos
who have NO idea what they're doing
median steeple
I love the volcanic planets when they have that gloomy storm look
calm salmon
level 15 timmies just running around with lib penetrators against bugs
screaming into the mic about how hard it is to kill anything
I roll up with the SG-225 breaker and completely clear the wave
spare talon
screaming into the mic about how hard it is to kill anything <:KEKW_ogryn:102207...
despite 0 change in enemy health pool
calm salmon
Uh
that's just down to the lib penetrator
that thing is fucking DOGSHIT against bugs
spare talon
its also criminal how hard the defender fucks btw
which one was that again
calm salmon
but if you get pulled into a brawl it turns into dogshit again
median steeple
the machinepistol
median steeple
it fucks berserkers

no this is the defender

oh shit

the redeemer is the machinepistol

i use it as a primary against bugs
spare talon
i think you are insane
calm salmon
Dominator/Redeemer/B-1 Supply Pack/Railgun/Eagle 500/Eagle Airstrike
spare talon
yeah it fucks them right up
but that ammo economy
calm salmon
I use the redeemer mostly
spare talon
hurts my soul
median steeple
I love my railcannon
calm salmon
the dominator on brood commanders, warriors, and default bugs(The green guys that look like commanders)
while the redeemer is used on scavengers and hunters
spare talon
I love my railcannon
the orbital?
median steeple
Yes
spare talon
ive never used it
calm salmon
railgun on chargers and bile titans
its big iffy
its a oneshot if hits the head on BTs and chargers
more of a bot tool
spare talon
i cant get behind a single enemy orbital strike with a 3 fucking minute cooldown
wind dagger
slugger is better for medium bugs or honestly if you're running supply pack just use the railgun to kill them
spare talon
i cant get behind a single enemy orbital strike with a 3 fucking minute cooldown
my eagle airstrike can have all its charges used twice over in less than that amount of time
calm salmon
I hate the slugger
pump action poopy
give me full auto slugger
arrowhead please
or fuck, just burst fire
I don't really care
but it has absolutely terrible breakpoints on enemies
making the single fire tedious
median steeple
The railcannon is just useful to get rid of something in the middle of a team or something that needs to die now
calm salmon
*Bug specific. Its alright against bots. Like everything else with medium pen, 1-2 shots bots on a weakspot hit
wind dagger
i cant get behind a single enemy orbital strike with a 3 fucking minute cooldown
railcannon is a force multiplier i'n groups because 1 railcannon + rocket pods will kill a bile titan
it's basically insulation against huge difficulty spikes but only if you have several
median steeple
Maybe it's just me but i never have problems with medium armor enemies the only one that has given me trouble due to their armor is the terminid guard
calm salmon
you can two shot a bile titan with railgun
you can two shot a bile titan with railgun
spams the above 6 or 7 more times
calm salmon
Now, I'm gonna need proof of that
Because as it stands, its a very specific spot on the BT head
that unlocks the two shot
otherwise its 7 on safe, 5 on unsafe if you're just shooting the helmet/mouth
but the outer edges of the BT head are a two shot
near the eyes
median steeple
Also is it just me or do the bile titans look like the aliens from that tom cruise movie
Like their heads
calm salmon
you can two shot a bile titan with railgun
something like this
give or take.
shoot the BT there with the railgun and its a two shot

in that case id rather just have an orbital laser
calm salmon
orbital laser gets stuck on big targets
which is super fuckin annoying
I really don't need the laser attacking a charger when there's 200 hunters
I almost wish they'd give it the exact opposite rules of the railcannon orbital

Idk maybe I'm insane
wind dagger
ive tried to duplicate this multiple times and it only works if im not the host and even then only sometimes
calm salmon
"Starts with the smallest targets first, working its way up to big targets"
wind dagger
either it's a bug with hosting or netcode fuckery w armor detection
either way something is fucked
calm salmon
apparently you can oneshot it while its puking
but I've never been able to replicate that one
but the two shot is super repeatable
wind dagger
you can't; that's old info from an old patch
calm salmon
I dunno, even if its a bug
it should be kept - but unbugged
ie: Ironed out
make it a reliable weakspot on a weakspot
so that RR one-shots it there, spear keeps the 1sbp on headshot altogether
eat oneshots it there
so on and so forth
spare talon
orbital laser gets stuck on big targets
i tend to pair the laser with the eagle airstrike, which does some hefty damage to bigger targets
so if i throw both of em, it softens the big guy up enough to where the laser wont stay on him for long
median steeple
110s tracking is bugged or something
calm salmon
depends on which way the eagle is coming in
they just don't for me

at all
They go where the orb is
fullstop

take 10 ammo off of it and make it need a backpack battery
boom, even if its a magic wand
its an expensive one

Also 500kgs dmg radius needs to be buffed it's criminally small compared to the visual explosion

that'd be fine too
honestly
for how much of a pain to use i don't think autocannon should have a backpack
hot jolt
wind dagger

its literally the precision orbital strike radius
calm salmon
While I take the 500bomb pretty much every single mission
I do not like how clunky it is
I just learned to deal with it
that said, its basically a no-go if you have complex stratagem calculation on a planet
much like the EAT-17
going from 4 seconds to impact to 8 is backbreaking
the enemy AI is just too random for that amount of time, and how small the kill radius is
