Hell Divers 2

[oak tulip]

Okay I'm going to bed now. As fun as these discussions are I gotta sleep

[obsidian arch]

BEGONE!

[deft walrus]

Hot take: I would have been a beast at the creek

(Load out is usually
Adjudicator
Senator
Thermite
50/50 armor
Jump pack
Eagle 500
Orbital Gatling
Stalwart)

All stuff that was available at the creek. If they ever get back they’re gonna need some insane shit to retake it now with these mechs and warp packs everywhere

[obsidian arch]

Stalwart just doesn’t have the takedown power I need. MMG go brrrt

[oak tulip]

HMG goes CHUGGA CHUGGA.

[coarse trench]

Laser Cannon goes MIKU MIKU BEAM!!!

[mint kettle]

I'm so glad to see I wasn't alone in crashing out over this update

[tiny vector]

the roach is...annoying

[oak tulip]

Fire resistant armour makes it easy to not die to the roach but yeah bugs are still not fun

[uncut zinc]

Stolen Valor, keep dreaming pal.

[deft walrus]

Stolen valor? If anything it should be gravy seal allegations 😂

There’s the PTSD trigger I was looking for 😂

[deft walrus]

🤣

[coarse trench]

all I remember of the creek is the trees speaking this:

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292> I'm going to be leveling up my Coyote in vc

blitz missions

[obsidian arch]

So we failed

[gusty orbit]

We what

[cunning otter]

Well yea... it took us the entire week to get not even half the required samples, and now we have to defend against multiple invasions and we have historically all been terrible at surviving those MO's

[tiny vector]

not me, but sums my feelings up

[gusty orbit]

its hell, diver

[obsidian arch]

I know it was new enemies and absolutely shit terrain generation, and a couple of other factors that did it, but I can't help but feel like we did something wrong. Were we meant to fail? A big part for me, at least was that the difficulty scaling was trash. It made it frankly not fun. I wish i had recorded the Hive Lung mission I had where half the map was impassable due to poor terrain gen

I learned (far too late) that the RR can one shot Dragonroaches with a headshot

But not the EAT (The fuck? Why not)

[gusty orbit]

rr has 1200 more damage than EAT

[obsidian arch]

Ah, that would do it

[gusty orbit]

breakpoint moment

[mint kettle]

Ever since the Great Balancing Act of 2024 they have been subtley different

Honestly it's bullshit and I say that as a RR main, if anything the EAT should do a bit more damage

You get 2 EATs every 90s or so, I get 6 for the RR and can fill them with supply packs ad infinitem (the cooldown is ass though)

[unborn sail]

this shit might be the creek part two

[obsidian arch]

Statistically, it's worse than the Creek

[unborn sail]

Does that account for the creek having a lot less divers?

[obsidian arch]

Yeah. It’s tens of millions more deaths. I don’t have the stats in front of me, but the numbers have been run

[grave lantern]

My elite democracy officer: Frob

[uncut zinc]

That's me

[unkempt ice]

Holy shit

[cunning otter]

not my 500K

<@&1205214326844170292> anyone want to fight for freedom?

[dusty thicket]

https://youtu.be/wRl_8bCeJLc?si=Q8XaXng-LB4N7h9V

[night sail]

this ever happen to any of you guys?

[unborn sail]

The spear gun is majorly underrated

[oak tulip]

I've heard it is pretty good

Still not regretting getting Servants of freedom first. Secondary pocket nuke go thunk KABOOM!

And backpack hellbomb my beloved

Not long now just a few more major orders

[deft walrus]

Nuke backpack and expendable napalm is a crazy combo

[oak tulip]

Ooooooh damn that sounds sick

[timber patio]

i love using it next to people that havent seen it before and theyre just utterly confused

i wish it had a little more range tho

[obsidian arch]

I feel like I can throw a grenade further. I definitely can with Servo Assisted armor

[dusty thicket]

The trick is to dive in the direction you are launching it

[oak tulip]

Yessss true

[obsidian arch]

Huh. I never thought of that

[oak tulip]

Works for everything. Grenades, strategems and any projectile weapons

[mint kettle]

I took the EATs and Expendable Napalm against the bugs and it was glorious

[oak tulip]

Nice aha I bet it was

[obsidian arch]

I guess AH is doing a “five week plan” to fix shit

[oak tulip]

Yeah the rupture strain broken af

[vale cloud]

they should do this with the predator strain too, never once in my life have I said oh goody I would love to play bugs but only get the really really fucking annoying ones that go invisible and the ones that jump at you from 20 meters and always stager you out of doing anything

[timber patio]

The only thing that makes me hate doing bugs is getting swarmed, hit, and then staggered into oblivion with no chance to actually shoot back. The bots stay far enough back im not constantly stunned

[vale cloud]

Bots are much more fun and engaging to fight

[obsidian arch]

I actively refuse to play bugs. I end up getting irrationally angry every time.

[oak tulip]

Yepppp

[oak tulip]

Sameeeee

[obsidian arch]

I don't yell at games, but I make an exeption for that. My wife knows when I try to do bugs...from across the house

[cunning otter]

Idk boys... bugs on 5 with my mmg scratches that primal part in the back of me head.

Funee switch bullistics go teehee

I also drop in lower tier missions with lower level guys alot too. Much less stressful. My heart thanks me. After playing like 2 missions on Oshaune on dif 7 had me wanting to pick up cigs

[timber patio]

I usually refuse as well but after the cave update I had to try it out and the lower level (5) missions were pretty fun

[gusty orbit]

Art of the destroyed bombers found in the retrieve black box mission type

[timber patio]

whered the file actually come from

[uncut zinc]

<@&1205214326844170292> Those oilblooded gear chuckers are back trying to claim our democraticly obtained lands.

[mint kettle]

I wish they would change the normal stalker to not automatically ragdoll you into next week. That's it.

[uncut zinc]

Mogging Xbox divers

[gusty orbit]

?

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292> anything (except squids)

[timber patio]

this and for them to make the chargers not drag you underneath them. I constantly get one hit killed in heavy armor by chargers because they drag me and stomp me like 4 times in a row and i dont think its supposed to work like that

[timber patio]

i thought you were saying the file was in the black box but obviously its a virtual blackbox and not a real thing

[gusty orbit]

Oh no lol

It’s the bomber found on the black box mission type

[timber patio]

how do i get the hd2 roll btw

ah ok lol

[gusty orbit]

Give it a sec

[timber patio]

yippee

ty

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292> bots?

3 missions for daily order

[candid spire]

I'll hop on

[unborn sail]

is ur mic working?

[unborn sail]

@dusty thicket @sour mulch @candid spire @mint kettle @cunning otter I've got a compilation of my favorite clips from the ODST Super Earth recordings. Would y'all mind taking a look at some and giving feedback on if they should stay, be cut, or possible edits?

I'll send an unlisted yt link here when it's done uploading

[sour mulch]

Yeah sure sounds good

[uncut zinc]

Send one my way, sounds like fun.

[mint kettle]

You bet

[unborn sail]

https://youtu.be/nc40rky8B9E?si=MrLRKpDayBiGgsLr

[unborn sail]

Any thoughts yet guys?

[mint kettle]

Didn't see the post until now, won't be able to watch it until later today

[mint kettle]

Forgot to put the "bum bum bum buuuuuuuum" in every time we launch Crow out of the FRV

[mint kettle]

That's funny as hell

[timber patio]

hd2 anyone?

[unborn sail]

No these are the unedited clips

I'll do that later

I'm just wanting to know rn what clips are good, bad, or most importantly boring

@sour mulch @uncut zinc any you think should be cut?

[sour mulch]

honestly i think its good

[uncut zinc]

I thinks it's got good content and a good length

[cunning otter]

"okay NOW lets take the game serious..." gets fucking launched by backblast comedic genius. 100% planned, no way otherwise 🤣

[timber patio]

anyone wanna play hd2 in a bit?

[unborn sail]

I swear the voteless target the missile silo like it personally stripped them of their voting rights

expendable 500 my beloved

[oak tulip]

I'm deffo getting the latest warbond next as soon as I have my portable hellbomb

[unborn sail]

It's 100% worth it

It competes with Democratic detonation for most functional warbond

[oak tulip]

Yeah I was so torn between it and servants but I defo am doing that one next!

[timber patio]

I am so happy they added the rifle leveling thing, after getting the upgrades i wanted the erupter is now everything i ever wanted it to be

Democratic detonation and hellbomb goes so hard

[unborn sail]

Okay what's everyone's favorite for fun load out?

[sour mulch]

Full lazer; Scythe, Dagger, Lazer Cannon, Guard dog Rover, Lazer Barrage and finally, lazer sentry

[unborn sail]

This guy likes lazers

[sour mulch]

Who doesnt!

[bold ibex]

Themed builds are always good fun, you can almost get all arc (still missing pistol and 2nd red strat unless you count EMS) as well as all fire. Supply pack or gas dog makes the all fire build surprisingly viable as long as you're not up against bots.

[nocturne walrus]

Scout armour, Amendment for supporting fire, Senator for self defence, Bloop tube (grenade launcher) for heavy targets, jump pack for mobility.

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292> bit late, but anyone wanna do the daily order?

[dusty thicket]

https://youtu.be/1pj4YW0umJ8?si=iW32hJkf6CawE2-u

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292> anyone up for some in about 3-3.5 hours?

[unborn sail]

I'm editing the video and crow getting thrown out of the FRV will never not be funny

[vale cloud]

https://www.kktiktok.com/t/ZP8ABWb8h/

[oak tulip]

<@&1205214326844170292> I got a portable hell bomb and im not afraid to use it

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292>

[unborn sail]

@sour mulch @candid spire @cunning otter Thumbnail?

[deft walrus]

😂 never seen that before

[pearl arch]

Every time I get bored I tap out 500kg out of muscle memory on my table

Rapidly

[oak tulip]

Started using the portable hellbomb it's so sick!

[timber patio]

the coyote is actually awesome

doesnt beat the eruptor out to be my main but i think im gonna start using it for eradicates

[sonic valve]

Coyote fucks in the caves. Eruptor is good in the dense environment but you have to lead your team otherwise the splashback just shreads friendlies.

[oak tulip]

I just unlocked the Coyote but haven't used it yet. Am looking forward to trying it out when I can next get on!

[unborn sail]

Senator is the best gun in the game no doubt

[oak tulip]

Honestly I agree but I just love the Talon more

Quickdraw fan fire space revolver my beloved

[unborn sail]

I do love the infinite ammo, but medium pen just makes it's role kinda useless

[unborn sail]

I kinda want to buy Masters of Ceremony just for the sword

[oak tulip]

That is valid. I honestly want that bond for the booster cause free extra samples but I can't justify it for any other reason than that and I still need to get other warbonds

[timber patio]

i use the stalwart as my 3rd for that issue

[unborn sail]

chilling with the guys

[sonic valve]

Up with the gang

[rustic beacon]

yall see the speech that marine gave and it was helldivers themed

[gusty orbit]

Ain’t no way

[deft walrus]

Yeah, it was Kagan Dunlap. People are overreacting imo because he obviously did it as a bit

“Wah managed democracy is supposed to be satire wah”

Bro he quoted the whole “you could be next” speech and said “Im happy a few of you got the reference”

[deft walrus]

https://youtu.be/gbgzh_Tmfrw?si=jHN2F83pG-s4OyxS

I rest my case

[obsidian arch]

Lol I needed a laugh

[unborn sail]

shit i'm enlisting now

[timber patio]

THANK GOD HOLY FUCK

[loud ivy]

more highlights

weapon damage increased across the board for ARs and others

#AUTOCANNONSWEEP

[oak tulip]

Yeah and solo silo no longer gets blown up in two seconds by enemies

Overall very good balance patch.

Dragon roaches now actually die when you break there wings thank fuck

WE ARE SO BACK

[oak tulip]

Facts

[nocturne walrus]

I'm shooting for the helldive achievement (extreme difficulty with no deaths) - who will join me?

[oak tulip]

Aha I already have this one. (Completely accidental)

[unborn sail]

Let's fucking go, I love that thing

[unborn sail]

I need that too, but I can't play rn

[unborn sail]

I was mid mission and my democracy officer decided to just crash my game

[oak tulip]

Yeah I'm working on getting it rn.

[oak tulip]

<@&1205214326844170292> Time to dive!

I’m currently fighting the most vile foe of managed democracy (hourly employment). So I need y’all to kill as many enemies as possible with the Constitution in my absence. Just like the founding fathers intended!

[thorn veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/helldiver-helldivers-helldivers-2-frogglish-gif-5004274130855941472

[unborn sail]

shame they're gonna give us a stealth warbond immediately after nerfing stealth

[rose timber]

I'm hesitant to believe these leaks, but the concept looks interesting

[oak tulip]

Same

[sonic valve]

How come?

[oak tulip]

I suppose to not get false hope if it is fake

I know a lot of people are asking for a stealth warbond but until it's official I'm gonna take it with a pinch of salt

[sonic valve]

Oh that’s fair, but how would they fake them?

[oak tulip]

I mean the format of how they make the videos is very well documented by now. I haven't actually watched the video myself cause I'm not going to give weight to something that might not be true but I stand to be corrected if the leak is genuine

Thing is till they fix the game we aren't going to see it anyway

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292> the super earth video is going up on Friday. Would y'all wanna take an hour sometime and record a helldivers jeopardy event? Commissar Kai did something like that

[thorn veldt]

YES x10^9

[cunning otter]

Ditto ^

I choose you Quickly made Meme! -

If i cant be there in person send me a script ill do voice lines 10/10

[unborn sail]

alr what catagories are we thinking?

[cunning otter]

Heavy Ordinance of Super Earth (stratagems/heavy weaponry related)

Tools of Liberty(small arms/primary secondary/grenade)

Freedoms Fashion (anything wearable)

In Remembrance of Fallen Veterans (death counts/ planets/ lore events)

A cup of Liber-Tea (all trick questions to report people to their democracy officers)

Theres 5 categories with jepoardy right? Daly double can be any two favorite questions and the prize would be a brand new FRV and a voucher for waived fees for processing of a C-01 permit (if person hasnt alteady filed for one within the past 9 months - of course)

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292> can I possibly at some point get a screenshot with 3 others in ODST armor?

[obsidian arch]

When you needs it?

[unborn sail]

[obsidian arch]

Wooo I did my part

One whole mission on it lol

[oak tulip]

Although I did get the nuke some bug eggs which was fucking awesome. Plus the randoms I was with were on Voice Comms so that was sick

[dusty thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/mission-accomplished-gif-9140868

That's hilarious

[unborn sail]

how did i just learn the frv has a handbrake

[timber patio]

Idk how you would drive without it lmao

[unborn sail]

Impression falloff line is so flat you can take an angle measure

[dusty thicket]

Its time to practice our democratic rights and vote for the new name of the city formerly known as York Supreme.

[grave lantern]

Bernard would go so hard

[dusty thicket]

So far we have already renamed Remembrance to Gun so I think York Supreme being renamed to Bernard tracks

Though I am partial to New York Supreme

[oak tulip]

Yeah I voted for York undying but I actually prefer this choice so I'm regretting rushing my decision

[dusty thicket]

<@&1205214326844170292> Anyone diving right now?

[unborn sail]

I can hop on in 5

[twin spindle]

shi alright

[unborn sail]

SEAF vc

minigun with backpack ammo feed, flamethrower guard dog, AR with UGL, chainsword

[gusty orbit]

Need

[obsidian arch]

I'm down for it

[oak tulip]

I'm also completely here for this warbond. I hope the "Maxigun" is medium pen tho

Taking a backpack slot as well as a weapon slot is a big cost if it's only light pen

[loud ivy]

it's medium

[oak tulip]

Thank fuck for that

Honestly I bet that's gonna be a based squids weapon then

[deft walrus]

CHAINSWORD RAHHHHH

(I know someone’s gonna make a chainsword animation mod for it)

[oak tulip]

Obviously lol

[oak tulip]

<@&1205214326844170292> Dive?

[twin spindle]

dive

[oak tulip]

Sweet

Might need to restart briefly

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292> anyone down to help me test out stream alerts by just playing missions?

[dusty thicket]

<@&1205214326844170292> Sorry for the ping but if you haven’t seen this masterpiece of a fan movie you need to watch it as soon as you get a chance. It’s so peak!

https://youtu.be/M7nXj34kwIg?si=6nAhZbNUJvvgUdJQ

[thorn veldt]

Real

[obsidian arch]

Gonna start it right now. Got my snacks and beverage.

[oak tulip]

Already seen it it's absolutely peak!

[obsidian arch]

Oh god that was amazing!

There’s a reason it’s the 4 hyped video right now

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292> low difficulty squid mission?

[oak tulip]

I think it's #3

Or it was at least

[unborn sail]

holy shit my extraction had like 4 fleshmobs and 2 walkers and I was using the constitution

[twin spindle]

stab the tripod no balls

[obsidian arch]

I was also very high last night and that may have contributed to my mind-blownness. Absolutely gold though, definitely sets a benchmark.

[oak tulip]

I did find the main female voice actor a bit lacking in enthusiasm at a couple particular moments but overall it was sick and I thoroughly enjoyed it

[obsidian arch]

I'll definitely forgive some foibles as it's a fan made project. My favorite part is that Eagle-1 now canonically wears my favorite helmet lol

[oak tulip]

Yeah that shit was sick and they nailed the satire nature of the super earth propaganda machine. Peak cinema

[unborn sail]

For absolutely no reason at all, how would I theoretically get a jet to move as fast as possible in a limited space?

[ripe pawn]

Democracy

https://tenor.com/view/helldivers-freedom-democracy-spread-gif-7274461004019253594

[cunning otter]

https://tenor.com/view/gatling-gun-shoot-them-heavy-weapons-big-gun-ammo-gif-18134044

Cant wait to try that sucker out

[obsidian arch]

This doesnt break anything, yeah?

[rose timber]

I wasn’t able to use the minigun yet either, but I ran as support for one with the directional energy shield while we had another providing supplies and stim pistol heals. Was fun

[oak tulip]

It's best if you don't have mods but I haven't had any issues so far

[dusty thicket]

The Maxigun is great to be sure but if I’m being honest the double edge sickle + flame armor+ vitality + someone medi gun stimming you with the experimental infusion will always hold a special place in my heart.

[obsidian arch]

Yeah no issues last night

[cunning otter]

Flame dog was rippin for me last night. It was pretty good and hectic

[oak tulip]

Yesssssss I'm so glad we finally have a backpack flame dog.

Everything must burn!!!

[unborn sail]

Holy Shit guys we got Mustafar

[cunning otter]

New camo looks really close to flecktarn. And i appreciate that

[oak tulip]

Looks sick!

[unborn sail]

Does anyone have masters of ceremony?

I'd love to have saber fight

[oak tulip]

I do not

[gusty orbit]

I only enjoy it if I get something out of it

Killzone collab weapons are coming back in a legendary warbond!

[obsidian arch]

God dammit

Worst collab in the history of the game. Why are they pushing a dead IP again?

[gusty orbit]

bc now the items are permanent

people missed out, so they're back forever

[obsidian arch]

So are they adding anything new to the warbond to entice people to buy it (again)?

[coarse trench]

Terrify your enemies with ferocious weapons, special armour, and more – and get this Warbond at no extra cost if you previously purchased any of these items from the Superstore.```

[cunning otter]

Im guessing this is for the xbox divers who never had access to the items that were in the superstore and got yanked. Essentialy locking them out of that content. This makes sence because it aligns this content with the rest. *Available thru warbond

[dusty thicket]

While it isn’t very interesting for the folks who were around and received the kill zone items for free, I am happy to see this war bond get released as it means that people can finally get access to it if they want it.

Previously there simply wasn’t any way for people to get access to the stuff

[gusty orbit]

they did add some snazzy new vehicle patterns but thats it

[obsidian arch]

Great.

[oak tulip]

Yeah nothing truly substantial if you played before Dec 2024 and got gifted all the "good" stuff

[timber patio]

What is this

[twin spindle]

Look at the number

[timber patio]

Yeah lol i see

But what is donating

[twin spindle]

Donating samples to the dss for passives

[oak tulip]

Spartles is doing his part for democracy

[obsidian arch]

Wtf

They really said “no thank you, no more from you.”

[timber patio]

[candid spire]

hell yeah

[gusty orbit]

SNEAKY WARBOND

[oak tulip]

FINALLY

It got leaked ages ago

Hopefully they fix suppressors with this update as well

[obsidian arch]

I finally got to try the backpack minigun. That thing slaps for a defensive role

ONLY downside is that you can’t move while firing

[oak tulip]

I mean it makes sense though. That's a lot of recoil. Thing slaps so it's so much fun

[obsidian arch]

Oh yeah totally makes sense

I love it

[deft walrus]

Letting me run around with a supply pack being a stealthy team mom is gonna be so dope 😂

[oak tulip]

If you've got the stim pistol as well that'd be even better lol

[gusty orbit]

oops

[obsidian arch]

Lol we did it!

[rose timber]

Wonder what problems this will cause. Hopefully not as bad as the meridia incident

[oak tulip]

It's a normal black hole apparently

[thorn veldt]

Penta gone

[thorn veldt]

Yea it’s a ‘conventional singularity’

[oak tulip]

That's the word I was looking for thank you

[sonic valve]

Allegedly

[obsidian arch]

“Stable singularity” is the one I saw

[oak tulip]

Warbond Thursday now

Along with an update

[obsidian arch]

What’s the warbond? I don’t think I’ve seen anything yet

[oak tulip]

It's the stealth one still

Redacted regiment

I'm excited. Especially because hopefully that means stealth will be fixed in the patch as well

[obsidian arch]

Oh I remember now

[oak tulip]

Yee

[unborn sail]

The bots have the blueprints for the Death Star

They stole them

[oak tulip]

Cheeky fuckers

Also suppressors buffed

So new warbond is gonna be awesome

Yeah 2 week warbond drops is crazy

Looking forward to the laser shotgun

[gusty orbit]

Nobody is talking about the funny hammer

Why

It has a dive attack

It’s awesome

[unborn sail]

<@&1205214326844170292> C4 aquired bots 20 mins?

[rose timber]

I am concerned about them being released so soon

[oak tulip]

Well they've now made the game 22GB for everyone

So I'm guessing they're happy with where the game is at which tbf is a much better place than it was

And they've had this content in the pipeline and ready to go whenever

[tiny vector]

might have to fire it back up then

couldn't afford both Syria and Helldivers 2 on the Harddrive

[deft walrus]

I run the lib pen, Senator, and thermite

Along with the 500kg, backpack hellbomb or jetpack, railgun or AMR, and either orbital napalm or Gatling.

[rose timber]

Lib pen damage feels weak for me

[pearl arch]

Ye railgun or AMR are good but I prefer to use warp pack(when I get) so usually for me it is shiel pack and/or Lazer pack

[unborn sail]

anyone down for trying to do a (Super)Helldive mission trying to not be detected with the C4?

later today

like we finish the mission with one click at evac

[timber patio]

Wait. Wait. Can you call down the pack repeatedly, throw 20 of them, and detonate them all at once cross-map?

[unborn sail]

Yes

[unborn sail]

Resupplies work too

And ammo boxes

[timber patio]

Yoooooo

Let’s just say there’s probably a reason why the warbond is called siege breakers

This thingys supposedly called a siege machine

Or smth like that

[oak tulip]

Modern problems required antiquated solutions (Big Hammer)

Passengers or gunners

[twin spindle]

[twin spindle]

[smoky turret]

So it requires at least 2

[twin spindle]

yep

and its a tank destroyer thingy

turret cant rotate

[smoky turret]

Is there any traverse at all?

[twin spindle]

there is

[gusty orbit]

One shots hulks???

Anyway we need to get dudes in a tank

1 driver 1 gunner 1 mini gunner 1 belt fed grenade launcher

but it can't turn on the spot

which is really annoying lol

And just like that, he was alone

Alright, fess up;. Wjo is it? Who jumped the gun?

[cunning otter]

Finally got to try it out, tank abaolutely rips it will probably be one i take on the big open maps. Shield backpack and hammer was really good too

[unborn sail]

That is a quote for the record books

[unborn sail]

What if instead of two guys sitting in the back of the tank, they stood on the front corners with the shield gen backpack

[obsidian arch]

I didn’t get to try it last night…everyone left before I could get a full match in. Also an urban map lol

[cunning otter]

The gladiator shields with the python commandos armor so you dont faint when a mild explosion goes off idk if its more effective but its a wider signature if your also trying to protect the tank

[timber patio]

I haven't logged on since we got the tank, is it just a stratagem from a new warbond?

[gusty orbit]

Nope anyone can get it

[obsidian arch]

Gotta get it from the acquisition menu, and it’s 35k

[twin spindle]

[timber patio]

[deft walrus]

Tank is really good with a full squad

2 crewing the vehicle
1 on the roof hatch with a maxigun holdin the flanks
1 dismount prioritizing RPGs and using a portable hellbomb to kill off MOs

[unborn sail]

What about
-Driver
-Gunner
-2 mechs

Really go into the mobile infantry

[timber patio]

Can you get a mech on top of the tank?

[oak tulip]

Ooooooh that sounds potentially very potent

Make it one of each mech as well and you've got all bases covered

I thought we still had like 130 mil lives left?

[obsidian arch]

Yeah. ALL deaths are counted, including the ones from Swuids and Bugs, not just bots

[obsidian arch]

No

Damn

[oak tulip]

I'm still seeing we've got 123mil forces in reserve cause that's the fail condition for reaching Cyberstan if we run out of forces

[obsidian arch]

Oh damn. Cyborg units.

Yo do you think we are going to end up blowing away Cyberstan like we did Penta?

Oh it’s the same fucking video that got posted earlier

[twin spindle]

lot of recources on that planet but its an option

[oak tulip]

I think we keep it to style on the cyborgs

[obsidian arch]

It begins. In 10 hours, our boots will be on the surface of hat disgusting socialist world. No longer will we suffer the atrocities of the Automatons and their fascist overlords, the Cyborgs. We shall march for every single True Patriot in the galaxy, and for every single innocent, democratic vote lost.

Has anyone noticed that the barrel of the Senator is on the bottom of the frame, which means the round in battery is at the bottom of the cylinder... which means the hammer can't strike it.

[candid spire]

chiappa rhino, probably the most famous bottom cylinder fired revolver. im not a gunsmith so i dont know how but it works so they did the same thing as these guys ig

[unborn sail]

Democratic telepathy

[timber patio]

i got redacted regiment, stealth actually works a lot better than i expected and its a lot of fun

however

for some reason cannons will notice me before any other enemies, and they will fucking obliterate me in a single shot with zero warning and then I spawn in half a map away with no gear

they have gotta fix that, its just irritating with no notice that youve been spotted, especially when the other units never notice you and don't one shot you

[oak tulip]

Well cannons do rely mostly on hearing rather than seeing so if you've been spotted or made some noise that they hear then they can blast you away

[timber patio]

I didn't know they distinguished

Interesting

[oak tulip]

Which is why I always make the point to take them out first because of this exact thing

Same as bot fabs they rely on hearing you and if they do then the troopers that come out will know where you were last heard and go looking for you

[obsidian arch]

Hell yeah

[obsidian arch]

I'm gonna stream the invasion of Cyberstan lol

[oak tulip]

I did a diff 7 mission on cyberstan it was pretty rough. Those new Vox engines are brutal

I got my shit pushed in, and then jumped in a river of lava, so…

And the Automaton cannons are absolutely TWEAKING out.

So these are new. I like them!

[gusty rapids]

anyone want to dive?

[timber patio]

How do you take out heavy/tank with stealth? Ive had the quasar, not stealthy tho. I guess the grenades are stealthy but short range

[oak tulip]

Quasar is stealthy. You just need to be far enough away that they don't know where the shot came from. The new C4 pack is perfect for stealth but that is limited to your throwing range (and just got 40 demo force buff with this update which is nice) but I always use the quasar to snipe the heatsinks. As long as you hit the weakspots and take them out in one shot you'll be absolutely fine

[timber patio]

Cool

I just unlocked the c4 but haven't used it yet

[oak tulip]

The damage rocks on it but the swing arc could be a bit better

[twin spindle]

valid pretext failed

lowkey not surprised

[oak tulip]

Nah it wasn't gonna be that easy that we'd wipe out the cyborgs

If we'd had those 270 million reinforcements just for cyberstan it'd be easy

[deft walrus]

If some morons would’ve stopped TK spamming and exclusively diving in DIF 10 then we could’ve stretched them further too

Also why the hell didn’t we raise Cyberstan like we did Merak?

[cunning otter]

Bruh my buddy brought me into a 7 amd be the end of oyr 3 sessions, zero reinforcements left on each drop i was like "dude we have to lower the diff, were hemmoraging lives here" needless to say he kept doing 7's and continued to have a shitty night w/out me. I dont get it

And i doubt that was solely a me experience thing. The multiple vox drops were rippin thru us

[twin spindle]

the large amount of new and returning players dropping on diffs they should even be able to didnt help either

never seen so many ppl below 50 dive on diff9+

[deft walrus]

Like, doing it ONCE is fine by me. Gotta see what the ball game is like up there, but doing it OVER and OVER again… cmon man

[unborn sail]

I wonder if the devs are going to turn this cyberstan arc into a ww2 eastern front story arc

I think they already have

[oak tulip]

Yeah they certainly could. And now the cyborgs will be able to go anywhere

I'm assuming they'll start invading other planets

We did a Russia and failed the invasion 💀

[timber patio]

Ive been doing 8s on cyberstan with 2 other guys, we're level 70-90

Its obliterating us

We usually complete the mission and extract but its brutal

Standard bot 7s i have a lot of fun on but anything greater than that is just brutal

Can't imagine anyone new doing anything like it

[oak tulip]

Yeah I agree it is absolutely crushing on the higher difficulties

[pearl arch]

i do dif 10 whenever possible solo just to have the slightest challenge but no fun

[dusty thicket]

I really liked this story arc but honestly the part that I disliked the most was the fact that I was so heavily incentivized to not play on the higher difficulties. Like I did my part and grinded through a lot of deathless diff 4 ops but I wished that I could up the difficulty without feeling like I was actively hindering the war effort. Additionally I think adding a death counter to the game while interesting did put a strain on the community that I don’t think the devs foresaw. Part of the magic of helldivers is the fact that there is basically no penalty to death and other people’s lack of skill doesn’t really affect you. That’s what makes getting TKed or dying to cheese and BS bearable. When death carries a consequence that affects everyone in the game it becomes paramount to not die and it makes you get salty at other players who are bad at the game for eating up reinforcements.

[oak tulip]

Yeah this is true. I mean I applaud them for doing something different but you are also correct in the fact that the game isn't built around death being a direct consequence of our progress in the overall story

[unborn sail]

Who do you guys picture when you think of General Brasch?

[oak tulip]

Weirdly, I think visually of Miles Quaritch from Avatar (before he became a blue man lol)

[unborn sail]

I was thinking that exactly

[oak tulip]

Nice ahaha

[limpid elm]

Crimsica is wales confirmed

[oak tulip]

Oh you just found that. My Welsh mate who got the game a couple months ago was over the moon when I showed him that

[candid spire]

oh lol my chat said "sage7997 didn't make the cut"

[obsidian arch]

Imagine bitching about dying in a game where the whole point is arguably to die.

I mean, if you think about it, it really is

Lives given in defense of Super Earth and all that jazz

"Damn you died 12 times? You must have been doing something right to have fought that many enemies!"

[unborn sail]

Earlier, after Dip and I died while taking out the second jammer, he was all like "well guess it's entirely up to me now" as he did Jack shit

[sour mulch]

uhh ohhh

guys, Oshaune is back

its under attack and the whole party is there

Rupture strain, Hive lords, you name it!

[candid spire]

hell yeah

[obsidian arch]

Yay more flamethrowers 🤨😐

Prolly not getting that one.

The giga grenade looks neat though

I hope the shovel is a secondary, not a hellpod

[unborn sail]

I think we're getting a winchester 1897 in the superstore

[obsidian arch]

Bolt action

[unborn sail]

no, the shotgun

[obsidian arch]

Ah

[rose timber]

A part of me can’t help but be dour and wonder if they are putting this out now to distract from the doxed diver situation

[oak tulip]

TRENCH GUN GO BRRRRRRR

[unborn sail]

Maybe, but they usually release the trailers a week before

[rose timber]

it's certainly filling up alot of the discussions on the subreddits and youtube. sure is doing it's job as a distraction

[obsidian arch]

You think?

[obsidian arch]

Damn

[candid spire]

<@&1205214326844170292> anyone want to hop on?

but I love how hard it hits

Ok there we go

[oak tulip]

This thing slaps I love it

[unborn sail]

Normal guns split bot troops in half

This gun disintegrates them

[oak tulip]

Ooh rah to that

This gun plus siege ready goes so incredibly hard

And a talon or senator for a secondary as well

[candid spire]

<@&1205214326844170292> its time to spread managed democracy

Lmao can’t have shit in Super Space.

[obsidian arch]

Everything about this is geared towards you using a sidearm and that's it while wearing this armor

Oh I like this

[candid spire]

<@&1205214326844170292> anyone want to suffer through some squids with me

only asked about squids for the MO, but im down to fight something else as well

[thorn veldt]

It’s the most fun shotgun in the game imo

[candid spire]

it's so good, I'm maining it till AH takes it behind the shed

[thorn veldt]

lol

[oak tulip]

I got it as well but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Looks so sick tho

[obsidian arch]

Lol I found my headset dongle. I had left it at work

Another patch tomorrow. I wonder if they will fix the squids. Tired of shooting through them. Also, I hate squids.

I can’t see shit on the dark missions. I’d rather drop out of a mission, fail it, have everyone be mad at me and take the hit than play on a night mission.

Advanced darkness bullshit

Wow. So much information. Thanks, Arrowhead, very cool. I can't believe what I am seeing, so many cool things, wow.

[mint kettle]

Right? What a joke

[obsidian arch]

Someone put this together, someone else APPROVED it, then yet another person posted it online. Incredible.

[oak tulip]

I mean at a surface level it's cool that they're confident in their content schedule for the foreseeable but still yeah there isn't a lot to work with here lol

[candid spire]

anyone get the pistol from the new warbond, and its it any good?

[timber patio]

uh, don't they intentionally keep the new stuff pretty secret? So it's a surprise?

Am I the only one that doesn't really see a problem with this post in particular?

[candid spire]

<@&1205214326844170292> anyone feel like fighting the new squids?

[obsidian arch]

A roadmap is supposed to show actual progress, not “yep, something is going to be added. Don’t know what, but something.”

[timber patio]

would it be better if they had just not released any info then?

[obsidian arch]

Kinda? It seems like a joke. Maybe even a slap in the face. The community is desperate to know more because AH has been tight lipped (their choice, I don’t fault it) and they give us barely a crumb.

[unborn sail]

I love the extent of roleplay this community has

[oak tulip]

The good parts of this community are truly awesome!

[astral yarrow]

indeed

[obsidian arch]

I love that 😂

Eyos and I took over 1,300 prisoners during a successful bug mission

[dusty thicket]

https://klipy.com/gifs/tf2-pyro-5

[obsidian arch]

???

Prisoners?

[unborn sail]

using this armor and the heavy flame thrower, I asked Eyos if I looked like the bad guy

he said You look like you take prisoners

[obsidian arch]

I don’t think taking prisoners is a good thing 😉

Talk about over achieving

[unborn sail]

The army is growing

Plus the other two with the midi-scale destroyer

[timber patio]

Laser turret?

[golden sleet]

[obsidian arch]

You know what, that’s an actual possibility. I’d usually say no, but I did use it at some point that night.

[unborn sail]

Obedient Democracy Support Trooper

[oak tulip]

Laser turret is actually quite good in my use of it

[obsidian arch]

I’ll have to use it and pay attention

[oak tulip]

Give it range and a reliable LOS to work and it's very good against illuminate

[timber patio]

Several of the turrets or something like a flamethrower maybe could be to blame because each shot could hit more than one target and count as multiple hits for one round being fired

After finally getting around to the Killzone warbond, I've gotten everything and have spent 17,087 medals in the service of democracy. Sweet fucking Liberty.

[mint kettle]

I'm about halfway into the latest warbond, otherwise I have everything else

Maybe I'll get some more D10 medals today

Do y'all use your middle or index finger to press w?
