[bitter pike]

This dude got killed by my turret once and held a grudge against me the entire rest of the match

He left me and the other guy we were with when we went to take out a nest

Refused to call in reinforcements if either of us died

When we finally caught up to him at extract I smacked him for being an ass

So he killed me

What's funny is that we were low on reinforcements so when he died he couldn't be called in

Because he'd wasted one on killing ke

[obsidian flame]

and they say this game doesn't have pvp

[buoyant urchin]

Pvpve

[limber bluff]

That’s to be expected, half of the player base are like men in there 30s, they are all pizza-tap water consumers.

[plain bough]

farmed 700sc with a random, was pretty good

[obsidian flame]

on trivial?

[plain bough]

yup

only need 120 medals to max out Steeled Vets too

[obsidian flame]

WTF

I've had enemies pop into existence right in front of me but never the opposite

[tawny herald]

still waiting for the ptsd update

[vague marsh]

[plain bough]

Had patrol groups spawn infront of me a few times

[slim coral]

Would be kinda scary ngl

You saw automaton bodies but then you saw some spawn in

And when you shot they were not there

[bitter pike]

How could a helldiver get PTSD knowing they're fighting for democracy and to protect their way of life!

[eager cliff]

they rarely live long enough to get ptsd

[bitter pike]

What do you mean?

Helldivers never die

[slim coral]

They do

[bitter pike]

Helldivers never die, they only go missing

[slim coral]

They died from Five Hundred Kay Gee friendly fire

Holy fuck

Robot eradication missions are fucking hell

[clear lintel]

Why does the HUD look like that

[obsidian flame]

ps5 player I assume

UI elements probably bigger

[clear lintel]

Yeah but it looks like

Fish eyed

[tawny herald]

BROOOOOOO

[clear lintel]

Is that your gameplay????

Holy shit dudeee

[buoyant urchin]

It just updated??

[plain bough]

Nah he's playing with someone who can spawn those in

looks fun tho

[buoyant urchin]

A dev? I don’t get it

[tawny herald]

he says its a mod from nexus

[autumn talon]

[buoyant urchin]

So game guard doesn’t work lol

[autumn talon]

[plain bough]

ofc a mod gets thru the anti-virus and spawns mechs lmao

[autumn talon]

[vague marsh]

infi ammo ?

[clear lintel]

Probably no UI

@bleak patrol Mb, had to take the dog out

[tawny herald]

no

[vague marsh]

ah.

[clear lintel]

WHAT

[plain bough]

Joel must be doing the fucky fucky again

[obsidian flame]

Joel pressed the button

[raw folio]

Oh god

A terminid defense

FUCK

[plain bough]

I don't like how they erase our progress on liberation like that

[raw folio]

It didn't

The UI just doesn't showcase that its a defend campaign well

[plain bough]

gotta bring out the heavy flamer for the bugs

[raw folio]

But the entire community seeing the defense campaign

https://tenor.com/view/eye-of-sauron-gif-27185045

[bitter pike]

Man this drone master body armor is drippy as fuck I'm ngl

[plain bough]

got the Jar-8 Dominator recently, it's alright but needs some actual explosive damage to it

[bleak patrol]

Don't worry, my laptop died and I don't know what happened

[tawny herald]

it melts titans too btw

[obsidian flame]

I didn't like it either. Sounded like a bolter from wh40k but...

[plain bough]

it's got the jet-propelled thing going on, but it's not fast at all with considerable recoil

really needs that pop when it hits enemies and can damage others in tight groups

[autumn talon]

How did mech feel

[buoyant urchin]

More like Hellspoilers

[autumn talon]

Eh

Debatable

[raw folio]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYsNKv1mNpI

[autumn talon]

[obsidian flame]

on one hand, a game without a proper story can't really have story-related spoilers

but showing future gameplay stuff that'll be added is a 'spoiler'? idk

[autumn talon]

Wasnt the mechs said to be coming to the game idk

@vague marsh you with spear

[vague marsh]

saw this today

dude the spear actually sucks

[autumn talon]

[tawny herald]

GUD

[mossy hinge]

how do you get it

[raw folio]

(The original thing its responding to is the hunter bouncing a nade back)

[clear lintel]

What? 💀

Literally first game content

[slim coral]

Dr

[bitter elk]

I do hope that the mech officially comes out with the next new warbonds to be honest

We need more firepowers vs. everything

[autumn talon]

In the tutorial?

[bitter elk]

Spear's awesome for anti building purposes but yeah weak ass elite enemy killing potential at the moment
Also the damn lock on gives me blood pressure problems

[vague marsh]

lock system is also goofy

[autumn talon]

[vague marsh]

sometimes its trying to lock into someone 200m away

while sometimes it cant even lock into smth 10m away

[bitter elk]

Yeah if the lock wasn't so asinine to work with it's an extremely strong anti building option

But right now it's omega fucking ass lol

Just hope they fix it eventually

Also anyone having extreme amount of crash lately? I'm trying to do defense mission on angel ventures and every session has been a crash lol

[autumn talon]

Did have some friday/saturday

Havent been able to play since

[obsidian flame]

So far I only crashed once, and it was during queue to get in

[bitter elk]

Not gonna lie I'd love to put that in, I'm not sure how chill devs are on that front though. Too impatient for mechs already

[bitter elk]

Yeah I wasn't having crashes at all for the past week or so but right now every other session is a crash so I'm like

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-huh-m4rtin-huh-huh-meme-what-cat-gif-13719248636774070662

[autumn talon]

Sometimes its like that

[bitter elk]

sucks, but it is what it is, maybe il just take a break for now

[autumn talon]

I think it was somewhere that second thursday of each month is new bond

but who the heck knows

[bitter elk]

yeah just have to wait and see

9 days! too long

kek

[autumn talon]

I have 75hours rn and im totally fine switching to another game for few days until new bond arrives

Might do some grinding for stuff in the weekend but thats about it

[bitter elk]

91 hours for me lmfao, might just play to max out the upgrades and then I'll properly take a quick break

Got like what, 6 upgrades left to do

[autumn talon]

@median trellis how many hours you have rn

[bitter elk]

medal grind is gonna take far longer so yeah

[autumn talon]

I have like 4 upgrades, and few pages of bond but they dont have anything major i want, the last gun felt kinda doodoo imo

It was good but also kinda eh

[autumn talon]

Eh not really, good squad and do diff7 full maps

Even diff1 nets decemt amount of medals

[bitter elk]

Yeah maybe, I never really cared much about medals since you passively gain them overtime anyway

More proactively chasing samples and super creds

[raw folio]

Nono, that very popular gif

https://tenor.com/view/helldivers-2-helldivers-gif-16054619589639246419

This

[autumn talon]

Me and sparta had very good rng luck on lvl 1 and scored 310sc, 80'ish common and probably high 80s of medals too, the 100sc stashes are a nice treat on diff1

[autumn talon]

Ive seen similar one but from the training

[raw folio]

It's why I max my cpu in HD2 rather than my GPU like in most games. The amount its simulating

[autumn talon]

Also found few 1k req slip on diff1 runs

[autumn talon]

[obsidian flame]

well, you could get them faster by rushing main objective and extracting asap
but it all depends on what you want to focus on

for some time I've been focusing warbond medals

[bitter elk]

The fuck kinda stashes you be finding to get 100 per wtf

[autumn talon]

Normal ones

Drones

Bunkers

Any of the pickup ones have a chance to be 100

[raw folio]

They're rare but you can find em

I got lucky once and found two within 4 missions

[autumn talon]

Also all that was in 100mins

[bitter elk]

Huh ain't that somethin, it's hard to know for sure cause they don't show the pickup notif on how much you get ngl

[raw folio]

You can manually check in the pause menu

[autumn talon]

Pause menu is the way to go

[bitter elk]

Lmfao that's certainly one way

[raw folio]

It auto updates

[autumn talon]

But yeah if you have a friend diff1 is the way to grind anything else but rares and supes

[bitter elk]

Yeah if I'm bored enough I could just farm trivial for greens and scs tbh

I seldom do, cause yeah, it does bore me quick kek

[autumn talon]

Oh yeah its boring

It nets suprisingly much medals for the time it takes, full map all pois goes for 7-10 mins and with good rng you could net 10ish extra medals

[tawny herald]

[raw folio]

Holy shit the bugs are getting clapped

[autumn talon]

[earnest stag]

[bitter elk]

Simply employ the bombing everything strategy

Can't have Vietnam if there's no jungles

[bitter elk]

Granted there was like 300k people just going to town on that planet

Which is unsurprising since you can get all 15 minutes missions on that

[granite nest]

Hello divers

Any news?

[granite nest]

[raw folio]

The bugs are laying siege to angels and getting decimated.

tbh without the range of the bots those evacs sound so much easier

[granite nest]

Im gonna try changing the resolution scale today and check if i will finally play on 60 fps

Maybe if i will change it enough i can go for medium settings

That would be cool

WHAT

👁️

[tawny herald]

Waiting for confirmation from the Ministry of Truth on that

[clear lintel]

They talking about it on the discord

If there is one, maybe they will follow the usual 2 pm or 5 pm time for patches

[plain bough]

when's that?

[clear lintel]

So its 10:46 am for me

[twin perch]

🙏

[clear lintel]

Most live service games follow the same formula

Tuesday 2 pm

[plain bough]

so it'll likely launch around the evening then on my side

[clear lintel]

Take it with a grain of salt though, best to check the Discord

[bleak patrol]

I need to see if HD2 will even run on my temporary computer

Bots got so mad they attacked me directly at source

But I ain't giving up, I'm gonna slap them back

Gonna be funny when the armor patch arrives because that means that we'll feel even stronger with the light armor

Since everyone is used to running no armor at all

[autumn talon]

[sharp kindle]

well

all armors are medium right now

so if they fix it

light armrs will be even more squish

[twin perch]

Iirc, that wasn't confirmed

that all armors are med

I thought it was "no armor value"

[clear lintel]

Ohh

I thought were was no armor at all

Thats why you get one shot by the biles

Spewers

[plain bough]

We'll see if its a % based armor value when patch drops

[twin perch]

all armores arent* med

as in

if med armor is 100

our armor is

0

all we got basically

I would imagine in Helldivers

some people get arrested for defending bug's rights

saying they have feeling too

very treasonal

[pale hollow]

They get to go enjoy a nice stay at a "Freedom Camp" 👍

[latent zodiac]

im sorry man
it sucks

[twin perch]

no

Skill issue

Kekpoint that user

[slim coral]

Did this guy just

Insult a tool of democracy

[latent zodiac]

[slim coral]

Sounds like bot's opinion

That does not count

But joke aside idk

It like the idea of rocket launcher that has 1 use

Its funny

I can spam Strategem to call it in

[twin perch]

yeah

2 shots 70s

it's good budget AT

until you get something else

[slim coral]

Im tryna unlock Gustav

Suck that I need 4000 hellcred for that

[latent zodiac]

i like it too, but i wish the recoiless rifle and the expendable did more dimage up front to clanker tanks and chargers

[slim coral]

How can you assisted loading in this game

[plain bough]

carry a backpack with the ammo and press E next to the player who has the weapon

[latent zodiac]

you hold the gun
fren holds ammo backpack
fren reloads for you

[slim coral]

That sounds nice

[plain bough]

makes reloading alot faster

[slim coral]

I thought I could just run up to someone with both weapon and the backpack

[plain bough]

like 3 times faster

[latent zodiac]

sorta wish you could do it if the gunner was also holding the backpack tho

[plain bough]

that works too but you'll be using your own ammo supply

[latent zodiac]

makes sense for the gustav

[twin perch]

Honestly

it's really good if you can set it up properly

but if shits going down and you're surrounded or running

not worth it

[slim coral]

Flamethrower is fun ngl

[twin perch]

basically if you see a titan coming, it's easier to dump 2 rocket headshots than 20 railgun taps

[plain bough]

burn the bugs

[twin perch]

or orbis

[slim coral]

Thing kills a spewer so fast

[plain bough]

shoot the head, its the weakpoint

[latent zodiac]

i wish anti tank actually did damage through the armor of tanks and chargers, and i didn't HAVE to hit them in a weak spot to do damage anyway
its anti armor, it should go through it

[slim coral]

I dispensed a democratic rocket from an expendable tube

[twin perch]

See, with tanks and hulks it does

with chargers it doesnt

also fun fact

those chargers aren't full armor

[slim coral]

Titan?

I like how they had Star Wars ATST in this game

[plain bough]

you'll see em at the later diffs

[latent zodiac]

might as well be, i constantly see my bullets bouncing off their ass, even if its hitting the squishy part sometimes
@slim coral either way, wait til you get that autocannon, absolute gamechanger

[slim coral]

Thought railgun would be more game changer

[latent zodiac]

poor fella doesn't know

[plain bough]

railgun is a convenience weapon

[slim coral]

Me running solo Dif 4 with a Liberator

[plain bough]

good for removing armored targets relatively quickly

[latent zodiac]

my honest opinion
sorta meh, it opens up a backpack slot, but too me that's about it, but its alright for kneecaping chargers and if you're good enough, headshotting hulks

i've been using the railgun/energy shield meta for a bit on higher level missions, but i never have the absolute firepower i need, and always end up missing the cannon
shame that shield is almost recuired to run 7-9 level missions, with the way stunlocking and armor is rn, really hope when the fix comes it, it makes the armor we're wearing rn technically light, and medium/heavy gets a nice buff or some stagger resist

either way, any difficulty above 5 is balanced around mechs

[plain bough]

I've never bothered with the shieldpack, wasted slot for extra boom strategems

[latent zodiac]

just watched a video of a guy solo running a helldiver bug mission, and i see why you're right, he had autocannon, 500kg, and bomb airstrike, and was clearing those nests out like fucking nothing

[latent zodiac]

oh, also railcannon

[plain bough]

I won't bash people if they need said shieldpack for protection, personally would like to have more explosives

[twin perch]

Shield is good for clutch

Like its a good buffer

But it you're fuxked

[latent zodiac]

bashing people for using what they like/need has always been a stupid thing to do
though i do have nothing but pity and sorrow for those who use the grenade launcher, poor guys

[twin perch]

It wont save you

If you start spiraling its over

[sharp kindle]

being immune to slows is pretty great overall

[twin perch]

The main thing w bugs is having cluster or infantry clear

If you pop them well enough any bug horde or patrol is easy

[plain bough]

either many heavy hitters or too many zerglings

[twin perch]

I got a 47 kill w cluster

[plain bough]

remove one and the encounter is gucci

[latent zodiac]

another great way to clear up some small fry is to lead them through a chokepoint, then throw down a napalm in their path, will remove all the fodder, but you'll have to manually deal with whatever comes out of it

[sharp kindle]

shield is nice for when you get caught unaware by the bitch bugs

[twin perch]

Tunnel vision and then a hunter patrol walks in

[plain bough]

tunnel vision and get spat on by a bile spewer

[twin perch]

Me when 10 spewers

[sharp kindle]

them stalkers are powered by bullshit

[twin perch]

Shield is great anti stalk

[plain bough]

stalkers coming out to pimp slap your ass across the terrain

[latent zodiac]

never had any kind of problem with stalkers, they get slowed and ripped apart but breaker, and there's usually only a few of them at a time, plus you can permanently get rid of the problem if you find the nest
hunters will always be there, always be a problem, and always stunlock you, which leads to you getting 4 hit, or swarmed by 5 more

[plain bough]

[bleak patrol]

[bleak patrol]

Wouldn't say so

It's not a shotgun

the Punisher

[latent zodiac]

did something change or did 100 SC pickups never spawn in trivial missions?

i've done quite a few, and ive only gotten 10s

they did say it was a small chance to get 100 SC, but man

[clear lintel]

I've gotten two's 100 SC yesterday

So just bad luck

[latent zodiac]

trivial difficulty?

[clear lintel]

Yes

[latent zodiac]

damn

shit luck like you said then

[clear lintel]

I wouldn't be surprised if they change it

Would be nice if 100 SC had a high chance of appearing at helldive

[obsidian flame]

same here. I never got a 100 SC pickup, regardless of difficulty

but if the boys here say it can happen, I believe

[latent zodiac]

WAIT I JUST GOT A 100

HAHA

[obsidian flame]

I did get a 1000 req pickup a few times, even on Trivial

[latent zodiac]

i think its just the same kinda drop rate

and with that 100 SC, i am back at my level before i bought the breaker armor

ok so, here's a little table (with literally no information or source to back it up lmao, but to keep track of the way drop rates sorta work rn before they fix it)
1 medal (high chance) or 3 medals (low-medium chance)
100 req (high chance) or 1000 req (VERY low chance)
10 SC (high chance) or 100 SC (VERY low chance)

[slim coral]

he is

man

[latent zodiac]

i've gotta 3 medal pickups a few times, so either i was lucky or those are a higher droprate then the 1000 req or 100 SC

[latent zodiac]

[clear lintel]

Yea

Normal mg turret is bad

Gatling is way better

[eager cliff]

Gatling with upgrade shoots forever

The mortar doesnt even expire before you have it again off cooldown

[twin perch]

Patch today

I'm sure

[earnest stag]

[buoyant urchin]

I reckon it’ll be 20k req

[slim coral]

I love running infiltrator set

[tawny herald]

I only wear armor for the aesthetics tbh

[twin perch]

2 more grenades and 30% less recoil

[tawny herald]

it comes as a bonus on my armor

[twin perch]

Stalwart is really fun when using a "heavy" primary

I prefer using MG personally but it depends if you want to run and gun or carry a minigun

PATCH

HAH

[eager cliff]

ALOOOO

[twin perch]

OH GOD

seems buffs for a bunch

ARMOR FIXED

[viral shadow]

pretty much only railgun needed some nerf, instead of nerfing the breaker other guns shouldve gotten buffs

[twin perch]

Helldivers standing next to ICBMs during launch will get properly toasty with a chance of not-so-spontaneous combustion.

[eager cliff]

Helldivers standing next to ICBMs during launch will get properly toasty with a chance of not-so-spontaneous combustion.

Yeah i was thinking about it hahaha

[twin perch]

YEAH

I was wondering

"Man weird we're not set on fire during that"

Breaker nerf is probably rof nerf

[eager cliff]

agreed , breaker is good cause the others are useless, on higher difficulties even breaker struggles to get a kills

[twin perch]

Punisher is either rof or count buff

Las 98 is the stratagem one

Flam is probably increase in damage on sustained

I'm updating so I'll let you know

[viral shadow]

please give the penetrator a purpose

give it a role

[twin perch]

Penetrator needs to like

full auto or proper dmg

Right now it's a RSI gun XD

[viral shadow]

penetrator needs higher damage, like slightly higher than the slow rof smg

pistol also needs damage buff, to have a reason to use it over the smg

[twin perch]

Pistol is like hm

a better handling overall

it's easier to head tap thingfs while smg will climb if you don't tap fire

or use proper pose

New breaker stats

seems higher damage, less mag? higher pen?

Breaker nerf, rof and cap?

Punsiher buff, nut

if you guys find a datamine or more detailed changes please ping

oh god i can see only by lightning strikes

Breaker has 8 mags

oh waht the fuck

120mm is 20s now

hit once in heavy, breake has pen now

Spray and pray

[tawny herald]

that's sick

[twin perch]

heavy laser pens mid bots armor

380mm is more focused, 30s

lots of hits

I survived 3 direct rocket hits

[tawny herald]

They fixed armor ?

[eager cliff]

Breaker: Decreased magazine capacity from 16 to 13, increased recoil from 30 to 55
Railgun: Decreased armor penetration, decreased damage against durable enemy parts

Fucked

Flamethrower: Increased damage per second by 50%

IT'S 1913 BABY

Back to the trench warfare

[twin perch]

breaker seems really good vs bugs now

You cannot survive mines with heavy armor

[eager cliff]

Is the spray and pray breaker better now?

[twin perch]

HGOLYT SHIT

I KILLED AHULK WITH THE HEAVY LASER

YOU CAN EYE TAP THEM

SUPER BUFF

Spray and Pray seems really decent now

1 taps bots at center mass

not a good idea w heavy bots

since it has dispersion high

2 chainsaw hits on heavy

yeah but this is really good news

since you don't have to reload

melts medium bots in any palce, does really good damage

and it's a great all rounder

also the point is other things apart from ther ailgun being good

Breaker: Decreased magazine capacity from 16 to 13, increased recoil from 30 to 55
Railgun: Decreased armor penetration, decreased damage against durable enemy parts
Flamethrower: Increased damage per second by 50%
Laser Cannon: Increased damage against durable enemy parts, increased armor penetration, improved ergonomics
Punisher: Increased total ammo capacity from 40 to 60, increased stagger force, increased damage from 40 per bullet to 45 per bullet
Breaker Spray & Pray: Increased armor penetration, increased fire rate from 300 to 330, increased number of pellets from 12 to 16 per shot, decreased magazine size from to 32 to 26
Energy Shield Backpack: Increased delay before recharging
380mm and 120mm Orbital Barrages: Increased duration of the bombardment, decreased spread

yeah basically great shit

Checking if Slugger got increased ammo cap

SLUGGER GOT THE AMMO BUFF TOO

you still will eat shit via devastator

2 shots from heavy

flamethrtow not good vs bots

need to test on bugs

heavy armor is about

double the amount of damage you can take

testing SG8

[tawny herald]

the game wants me to give up from the creek

[twin perch]

Vtw

Someone please test the laser canon on. chargers

[twin perch]

SG8 has Slugger tier Knockback

basically you can "perma stun" Brood Commanders

and 3 tap decapitation

Flamethrower still has same issue of setting you on fire XD

Eradication might as well be defense mission tier now btw

Heavy armor only works on hunters and scavengers, basic bot shots and rockets

Warriors and etc will still tear you

So med/light = bugs

Med/heavy = bots

Oh yeah

Eradications are a nightmare tier level now

Spray and Pray is great for anything below brood commander

Its incredibly good at clearing groups of lower tiers

warriors included

broods just take a lot of ammo but it pens everywhere

Eradication solo farming is not a thing anymore btw

Laser does not pen chargers anywhere consider them tank armor tier

[earnest stag]

Ok so im waiting for you full on resume

[plain bough]

So the patch finally dropped now huh

[twin perch]

I don't think I missed anything

Basically Unsafe Railgun is a requirement on Chargers and Tanks, everything else got a neat buff, and light armor is death

Heavy armor survivability is only good on minor minor threats

Flamethrower meh, Laser amazing, Breakers all good, Barrage great constant firepower, Shieldpack still usable, now you just can't run around in the open all the time

[clear lintel]

@twin perch

So... Light armor. How is it looking

[twin perch]

Useful for bugs, dont get hit

Death setence on bots

Eradication is Pre-Nerf defense, impossible to solo

[clear lintel]

Railgun and shield still good? What about the unsafe mode?

Gotta charge it all the way up?

(I do use the eat more)

[twin perch]

Unsafe is a req on charger legs now and other parts

Its basically mid bot breaker on safe

And you need to setup to fire now, less run n gun

So its not the allmighty charger bane

So just charge it to 80-90 and its fine

[earnest stag]

I see

Rather take AC or laser then

[twin perch]

Shield is still good, just not as fast to recharge, dont run around in the open all the time

Use cover on bots

And it will still save you from hunter and stalker ambushes

[clear lintel]

I'm happy laser got buff though

[twin perch]

Laser is a peak weapon

[clear lintel]

Usable in 7-8-9?

[twin perch]

Can ignore devastator armor, can eye tap hulks and damage heatsinks

[earnest stag]

Which laser we talking about

[clear lintel]

Nevermind

lol

[earnest stag]

The big one?

[twin perch]

Can melt charger ass, not a good idea on bugs solo

[clear lintel]

The laser stratagem

[twin perch]

Yes

[clear lintel]

So a team that has let's say

A railgun and a eat 17 plus heavy laser

Good?

[twin perch]

Yeah

You can even drop the eat for an AC, Recoiless, Spear

Or even a MG

Since Tanks and Titans are better dealth with stratagems

Or impacts in the ass for tanks

[earnest stag]

Mhhh

So a whole meta shift

[twin perch]

Basically only titans remain annoying

[earnest stag]

Big fucks require big guns

[twin perch]

The spray and pray is very good, slugger and regu 60+17 rounds, real good CC and damage

[clear lintel]

Im about to unlock the slugger

[twin perch]

SG8 explodes brood commanders in 3 shots at mid ranger

[clear lintel]

[twin perch]

SG8 has Slugger knockback now

Spray and Pray obs not good on devas

[earnest stag]

Fire breaker?

[twin perch]

Havent touched that

[earnest stag]

Basicly a spray n pray

[clear lintel]

So you deal with chargers and hulks with the laser and the railgun still?

[twin perch]

Hulks w Laser and Railgun, AMR, etc

Chargers Unsafe Railgun or ass blast

EAT to legs, Recoilesd or 4 AC ass shots

[clear lintel]

Yeah I basically use EAT to legs, finish with gun

[twin perch]

I will test fire spray sfter work

But regular is superb now

Chargers do need a "mobility" touch up imo

[clear lintel]

Yeah they are a bit much

And that's considering we still haven't gotten it's variants

I don't mind the titans, the problem is when you have several mobile chargers

They aren't supposed to turn around so fast

[twin perch]

Yup

[sharp kindle]

Armor works now

[twin perch]

Heavy armor works on baby tier mobs fyi

Warriors and Above tear you

Gunshots takes a few more

Oh someone please test spear lock on

[twin perch]

@clear lintel night is night now

[earnest stag]

Damn you need the light now

[tawny herald]

its kinda cool to see the railgun just bouncing off chargers now

[clear lintel]

My game on low:

[sharp kindle]

[twin perch]

Basically

Really good patch

Small meta shift

More variety and light armor require brain

[clear lintel]

How long is the delay for the shield?

[sharp kindle]

Ooh well

Reddit is mad over the patch

[tawny herald]

I was waiting for the shield nerf

It had a really quick recharge

[twin perch]

It went from 5-6 to 15?

Havent super tested it

Was getting eradicated

Off for lunch

[clear lintel]

Provecho

[sharp kindle]

Reddit be like
Why u nerfing the good stuff

Buff the bad

[clear lintel]

I guess the true thing they have to nerf is heavy tanks or charger oppression in higher difficulties

There's just so many of them

And sometimes its really random

Like you can have 10 chargers and 5 bile titans

[twin perch]

Heavy tanks are really fragile

And slow

Chargers too strong

Tanks is 2 impacts on back (any turret) 4 AC, 1 AMR mag, 1 recoileds in sink or 2 in turret

Slugger also pens them btw

[sharp kindle]

[clear lintel]

Lmao

Be happy its even better than the first game

The shield would help a lot but i remember it used to break so easily

[sharp kindle]

Also the amount of ppl who are complaining about the railgun being "dead" is funny

Mfs never turned off the baby mode on it

[clear lintel]

Yeah people are complaining about it but they cleary didnt read the patch notes

You have to use unsafe mode

WHY DO MY SHOTS DONT WORK IN SAFE MODE

[earnest stag]

Wait for Walkers and LAV's all of a sudden you dont need shieldpacks anymore

[clear lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/vince-mcmahon-it-was-special-wwe-crying-meme-gif-10875740921427956522

Just dont get overwhelmed in them

If you do, get ready to suffer

I wonder if you will still be able to call stratagems while inside them like in the first game

[sharp kindle]

Also ppl being mad over the breaker are those which stack 900+ kills in a single missions by grace of fighting everything in sight

they nerfed a lot of shit

and they didn't fix the rescue researcher mission

at least they fixed the armor

[obsidian flame]

funny how they don't even acknowledge the problems with the rescue researcher mission in the 'known issues' part

guess that shit's staying broken

it's a feature

Fire breaker is good

Slugger wasn't

and it got buffed

fire breaker is buffed too btw

fire breaker?

oh right I forgot it exists

[twin perch]

ok so

Fire Breaker is great

380mm and 120mm great

Lib Pen is the same sadly

Do not use danger close 380mm without 50% throw

Endgame screen is way faster

Lmao disappointing service

I one shot the charger with the spear

If you use it on the head

But it's too slow
