[warm quest]

I love the flamethrower buff.

[clear lintel]

Yeah flamethrower feels great rn

[warm quest]

I've been pairing it with other fire based stuff, like the mines.

Plus jetpack.

[tawny herald]

Autocannon is kinda good compared to the railgun after the nerf

[plain bough]

flamethrower can melt chargers now with prolonged flames

I do like burning everything

[tranquil zealot]

... would you guys recommend buying it?

[warm quest]

The game? Yes.

I love it.

[plain bough]

no need for fomo, still going through its polishing phase

[warm quest]

So many games combined into one.

[tranquil zealot]

i played the first one but alone it wasnt fun(hope to convice some buddies to join)

[warm quest]

Can't wait for mechs aswell.

[tawny herald]

We need reinforcements, join the helldivers

[plain bough]

1 week from now for that

[tranquil zealot]

am currently sick so i have some time available

[warm quest]

But what I really want to be able to do is fly eagle

Flyable eagles would be great.

[light nymph]

I just want the motorcycle with a side cart

[plain bough]

motorcycle with your standard-issue helldiver cat

[light nymph]

[tawny herald]

[earnest stag]

YEET

im thinking about using the revolver more

its pretty good

[plain bough]

revolver ocelot

[tawny herald]

It prolly isn't the best option stats wise but it has the best style points

[plain bough]

https://tenor.com/view/shane-gun-spinning-gun-trick-revolver-gif-22103266

[tawny herald]

But idk about u guys sometimes when I'm using the revolver the game glitches out my primary and I don't have a primary for the rest of the game

but that only happened while using Breaker + Revolver, but I'm not sure what causes this

[twin perch]

https://imgur.com/gkwPEwU

[twin perch]

actually what your guy does it when you pull it out

I do wish you had a speedloader

[plain bough]

definitely needs a speedloader yeah

[bitter elk]

Is it just me or there's a current bug where if you handle the SSD in some form it bugs your character out and you're stuck in tposijf

Tposing

Funny enough you can still fight dive and everything as normal

Except firing rocket

Since the pose makes the rocket aim downwards, the pod comes out and explodes on the ground, killing you instantly

Lmfao.

[tawny herald]

*ignore my mic

[bitter elk]

Not you fighting for your life against 50 chargers in front

Meanwhile the hunter neighbourhood behind you:

https://tenor.com/view/bug-gif-18045226

[bitter elk]

Not quite the one but krk

Kek

[bitter elk]

Yeah I am now basically dedicated to killing chargers while wearing the heavy armor with extra padding + shield backpack to tank whatever other bs that creeps up one me while I'm torching one

Supply backpack is a good alternative, but I like the shield when there's a lot of the Spewer enemies

Especially bile spewed, Extremely annoying and hunters.

I'm also very certain that they are pretty decent at killing titans too but need to test it out

[plain bough]

pimp slap those hunters and burn all the spewers

[bitter elk]

Shoot the sack out, bait melee, and flame on

[tawny herald]

Instructions unclear, they are in the walls

[plain bough]

anyone got hit by a meteor yet on Fenrir 3?

I have

[tawny herald]

half a dozen times

[plain bough]

Also someone showed that when chargers miss the ramming, you can use laser cannons to melt their backlegs quickly

[twin perch]

Any gun

But the miss os ver ??

Abd they dont stun when they ram a stone wall

[viral shadow]

mmm, helldivers official discord

i love this place

[eager cliff]

Newcomer moment

[plain bough]

People tossing gasoline on themselves and lighting it up lol

really go crazy cause the breaker has 3 less shells and railgun has to use unsafe mode

[eager cliff]

I literally dont understand whats the big deal , only issue right now is too many Chargers and Bile Titans from the get go on 7+ difficulties

[viral shadow]

1 update is all it took for them to start psychoanalyzing the devs and start screaming about how the game is being mismanaged

[eager cliff]

Otherwise it is manageable

[plain bough]

explosions should strip charger armor fr

[eager cliff]

Yeah someone had a good suggestion

Make charger legs medium armor

instead of high

Solved

[viral shadow]

i just want a penetrator buff

make it a useable gun

[twin perch]

This

Literally tons of balancing ways beyond "buff/nerf" guns

Med armor charger legs does mean you can use the Lib AP on them

and a ton of other guns

Would also be nice if you shoot them enough (depends on weapon and pen) they get stripped

Instead of just bouncing off shots

[plain bough]

med charger legs would be decent, even make a lowly helldiver capable of dealing with em too besides a bile titan which there's plenty of strategems for

[twin perch]

Here's a good buff

improve rocket pods tracking/damage

so they actually hit chargers and kill them

Because they can whiff 2 of the 3 salvos

[buoyant urchin]

Supposedly back of the front legs with an autocannon makes their armor ineffective

[twin perch]

That works pre-patch, the issue is that it's very particular about it

[eager cliff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgomX0s1J8Q

this will play when we land with MECHS on Creek

DEFEND MY MERCEDES MECH

[tawny herald]

how the f is the spear supposed to work

[eager cliff]

Bruh this is a Tarkov event if we fail we are fucked

[plain bough]

So its an automaton campaign now

finally I was getting sick of bugs

[tawny herald]

I've only deployed on bug planets for the dailys

[plain bough]

time to bring out the heavy armor and go to town

[viral shadow]

i know why

[plain bough]

focus on the bugs so the automatons can launch their invasion moment

[light nymph]

Y'all guy better be fighting for Tien Kwan right now! I want my mechs to be available when I get back home from work!

[viral shadow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ps--hQiSXA&t=3s

new warbond in a week

[plain bough]

laser AR I see

[viral shadow]

cant wait until the sickle is once again the best weapon in the game

[eager cliff]

[plain bough]

cope

[viral shadow]

was op in the first game

[plain bough]

Still, hopefully the introduction of new weaponry gives some variety in players loadouts

everyone rocking the same 2-3 guns makes it boring

I'll do my part in Tien Kwan tonight after my shit is done

[viral shadow]

the liberator will probably just get replaced by the sickle now

[tawny herald]

my game crashed while fighting in Tien Kwan

[obsidian flame]

SC earned ingame won't count?

[plain bough]

typo probs, purchased only in Super Credits

[tawny herald]

purchased by super credits ig

[plain bough]

also laser sidearm, who's gonna use that tho

[buoyant timber]

Shit, new order from high command?

[plain bough]

Logged in too, didn't get the 45 medals from the previous order

I'm sure it'll unfuck itself later

[buoyant timber]

I gotta save my fuckin mercades Benz Mech

Custom fitted with AC

i cant let them fucking clankers take that

I paid like 4000 SC for that shit

[raw folio]

It's always gonna take a hot minute to give the medals

[late dagger]

#1102974265613099079 message

[twin perch]

Bro that shit is getting Liberated now

[bleak patrol]

You should liberate Tien Kwan, NOW

[twin perch]

[clear lintel]

My sickle is backaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Time to farm medals

[obsidian flame]

for the workout playlist

[viral shadow]

https://vxtwitter.com/jtidsfriend/status/1765509407633244421?s=19

[bitter elk]

Kinda an unintended effect more than anything

Charger when near the end slide animation and temporarily while turning completely loses their armor in parts of the body

So you are in essence shooting directly at its meat claws

[plain bough]

Can we eat chargers like a well-steamed crab

[obsidian flame]

steamed hams?

[bitter elk]

It'd be a tough meat if anything

[plain bough]

steamed yams

[bitter elk]

Shit has to be carrying their 50 tonnes body and moving at rapid speed kek

[twin perch]

Fuuuuck

[raw folio]

The US is just waking up so reinforcements will be there...eventually

[plain bough]

in a few hours Tien Kawn is gonna have like 300K players

[bleak patrol]

84k is not enough?

[raw folio]

I mean it is a major order. I expect it to have heavy resistance

[bleak patrol]

We're gonna lose the whole galaxy once the game starts dying

[raw folio]

Plus i think the GMs still don't quite have a hold on the difficulty shifts needed

[buoyant timber]

I WAS gonna go to bed, but super earth orders are more important

I will leave once my US reinforcements arrive

[obsidian flame]

it'll be retuned like hd1 was

[bitter elk]

contemplating doin more bugz

[bleak patrol]

Bugs?

[bitter elk]

id certainly miss the funni early days of quickplay once the game trend bucks out and only the people loyal to the game and high levelz remains

[twin perch]

Eradication Moment

[bitter elk]

yez, bugs

lol i tried new eradication

the intensity was off the hook

[clear lintel]

Its insane

Im going back to dif 5

[bleak patrol]

[twin perch]

Oh you're not doing it on Diff 5

Unless you have a group

trust

[plain bough]

Better glass the planet

[clear lintel]

Yea, with a group i mean

[twin perch]

Like it's saying something that one of the best strats is the cheese of running out of combat zone

[bitter elk]

I did it on D7, and I was like, holy shit this feels like bot automaton defense all over agian

[twin perch]

and having the DD nuke em

[clear lintel]

thats what i did

[twin perch]

Which already is very sus when the defense cheese is

doing the same

having 3 players out and 1 in

[bitter elk]

its lame thats what it is tbh

[twin perch]

Yeah but it's not the players fault

[clear lintel]

I love this set

[twin perch]

Because trying to play them normally is awful

[bitter elk]

they could adjusted the exp

[twin perch]

EXP is unironically irrelevant

XD

[bitter elk]

but nah just crammed 40min of intensity into 15min session lol

i mean yeah i wonder if their philosophy was just to nerf exp farm

[twin perch]

What they need to od is make them both doable and fun not just a

[bitter elk]

so

[twin perch]

"here's 9 drop pods"

[clear lintel]

They need to adjust armor

[twin perch]

I find this is a really stupid take

because EXP is literally

worht nothing at all

[clear lintel]

I know we arent spartans but we shouldnt get hit that bad

[twin perch]

There is nothing worth grinding levels

if you're lvl 1 you're better off just playing normally anyways

[plain bough]

for an armorsuit supposedly made from the same alloy as the super destroyer

[obsidian flame]

supposedly being the key word here

[viral shadow]

its almost like the helldivers are expendable

[obsidian flame]

stratagems*

[plain bough]

super earth wouldn't do that, democracy prevails

[bitter elk]

their wording merely be like, "mission was shorter than intended"

oh yeah fam, lets just ignore the solo players while we're at it who prob clear it as they normally do and supposed to

[twin perch]

At lvl 20 you already have them all

anda again like

1 to 20 you're better off playing normally

XD

[bleak patrol]

Either the Super Destroyer is weak as fuck, or the enemies are strong as fuck

Which one do you prefer?

[bitter elk]

I already avoid defense planets on automaton because of how asinine defense mission is

now that eradicate is also fucked

[plain bough]

one shot automaton plasma hitting destroyer and blowing it up, both

[bitter elk]

i dont even know anymore lol

on solo* for full set of missions

[twin perch]

Yeah Solo is impossible

mind you group defenses are also impossible

XD

really fucking annoying to just have to play something else because they fucked it

[bleak patrol]

Should I mention this fact to my friend when we'll play together?

[twin perch]

Whihc fact

[bleak patrol]

Or should I just let him drop us to diff 7 eradication because "easy mission"

[twin perch]

Oh

Be evil

[bitter elk]

you know how it is

the democractic way of things

[clear lintel]

That's no excuse to being fragile as we are now

[bitter elk]

D7 mission from the get go

[bleak patrol]

We're just playing on D7 now because going higher seems pointless

[clear lintel]

Yeah higher is pointless

Just 7

Is best

[twin perch]

I would say D8 is worth it for 2 samples more but

[bitter elk]

not for the mental damage of 8 chargers

[twin perch]

It really depends on how much you want to try hard

7 is relatively comfy

[clear lintel]

Not even

[bitter elk]

or 10 hulks

[twin perch]

7 solo was comfy

[plain bough]

I do only 2 Diff 8 missions per day to maintain sanity levels and get my super samples

[twin perch]

pov me doing 3 9 ops because my friends only want the hardest and biggest rewards

[obsidian flame]

[bitter elk]

not my friend asking why arent we doing D9 difficulties

[twin perch]

It's always malevolon creek

[bitter elk]

and im just like

[twin perch]

My first 9 was Malevolon

[bitter elk]

https://tenor.com/view/you-dont-wanna-know-george-zax-jk-simmons-goliath-s4ep4-gif-23201964

[bleak patrol]

Well

I still really like Malevelon

Epecially now with the storms

[bitter elk]

i mean frankly id take creek

the trees are easy to remove if you have a bombastic loadout anyway

KEK

[plain bough]

the trees are talking binary, destroy it all

[bleak patrol]

The Creek used to have no negative effects and now it has one that barely makes a difference most of the time

[twin perch]

the Creek negative effect is the trees

they're in the trees

[bleak patrol]

We joked with a friend

That the trees don't speak binary on Creek

They speak English

[twin perch]

pov me unloading in the general direction of the lasers with the MG

Stalwart is a valid weapon choice, don't @ me

[bleak patrol]

pov me trying to snipe a bot that is so far away from me I can barely see it with a Jar

[twin perch]

I hate the fog

I even have it set to low and low quality

and I can barely see past 100m sometimes

when I'm using a DMR

[bitter elk]

stalwart is actually really nice

tho i kinda wish it had slightly better turning speed

[buoyant urchin]

I like the low visibility stuff, the sand rain and shadows cast when something huge comes into view was so flipping exciting

[autumn talon]

That affects on how it looks quality wise not how much you can see through it

[buoyant urchin]

https://youtu.be/4ps--hQiSXA?si=W_aNwJVt3WpVBd-s

[twin perch]

Volum fog smount to low

[plain bough]

already posted bit earlier

[buoyant urchin]

Truly democratic timing, citizen! @plain bough

[autumn talon]

wanna bet it barely changes anything

[buoyant urchin]

My question is cutting edge a new warbond i need to open up like the premium store? Or is it tacked onto the end of the regular store and now i need to farm hundreds of medals?

[clear lintel]

This the new premium warbond

So separate

[autumn talon]

it prolly costs super credits to open and medals to get the things

[clear lintel]

But you'll have to farm medals regardless lol

[buoyant urchin]

So new super credits

[clear lintel]

No not new super credits

Just regular ones

[buoyant urchin]

Oh it’ll be open already?

[clear lintel]

Unless you meant that already

Oh no

[autumn talon]

no it will prolly cost super credits

[clear lintel]

You buy it with SC and then medals to unlock the stuff, like steeled veterans

[buoyant urchin]

Yea that’s what i was asking

Ok time to farm old super credits

[autumn talon]

[autumn talon]

what old sc and what new sc? they are just super credits

[raw folio]

That goddamn bot sympathiser isn't gone for daily orders

[autumn talon]

nothing new or nothing old

[clear lintel]

Man, this should be 20 medals at least

[buoyant urchin]

I was joking because it took long time to answer my question, because of the super credit question

[raw folio]

For something so easy?

[buoyant urchin]

It’s satisfying to spear these big fellas

They prepare us for new store

[clear lintel]

We have gotten 15 medals for easier stuff so yeah lol

[raw folio]

You can complete this in one mission, easy peasy

[clear lintel]

ya

[plain bough]

Just run trivial missions and keep raiding those side locations, earn 1K and unlock the premium warbond when it drops, also save some medals to get a jumpstart on it

[raw folio]

This is honestly even more piss easy than the strafing run one

[autumn talon]

depends if it counts squad kills or is it actually like you need to kill

but yeah should be ezpz

[raw folio]

Not even, just select the "kill bile titan" mission and pack 500kg

[autumn talon]

where is that setting

max vs lowest fog quality

[plain bough]

whoa, no difference at all lol

[twin perch]

M a n

[autumn talon]

very minimum

tbh

wanna know funny

max

lowest

you actually see worse because it makes the fog such a low quality

[twin perch]

Man

[autumn talon]

"my whole life has been a lie "

[twin perch]

No thats

anyone helldiving?

[tawny herald]

just got off after a campaign on tien

[obsidian flame]

halfway done already?

[granite nest]

I cant seem to find the difficulty progression issue in the known issues tab on the patchnotes, so i might try doing a campaign and checking out if thats fixed

Juuuuust some quick fenrir

[granite nest]

Nope, still aint fixed

[sharp kindle]

well shit

[clear lintel]

We want the mechs

[sharp kindle]

look kinda ass ngl

[clear lintel]

I like them

Fremen vibes

i suppose the CHONK is not that good even now is it

That's the best heavy armor I think

guys hop on hd2

new warbond

[eager cliff]

on 14th

[shy schooner]

NOT OUR MECHS

[clear lintel]

Not yet. Next week

[shy schooner]

[eager cliff]

probably not if we lose the planet

You can see the devs are fans of Tarkov event lol , this is a very tarkov-ish event

[plain bough]

the community won't allow their mechs to not be delievered

[eager cliff]

yeah i bet on that as well

[plain bough]

no matter how much they bitch about the railgun

[eager cliff]

i know i dont give 2 shits and i will fight for my Mercedes Mech

🤝

[shy schooner]

I need to get my homies together

We WANT our mechs

Those two modifiers make higher difficulties not worth it

[sharp kindle]

[eager cliff]

bruh

[sharp kindle]

honestly

thats a valid response

the first line isnt

but the rest is pretty ok

[eager cliff]

yeah i mean , i hope they keep balancing stuff relatively fast

some main guns need full attention tbf

railgun was insane but i can live without it

also lets be real , only people on high cope expected the shit NOT to be nerfed

[clear lintel]

The safe method being useless is kind of lame? Like why does it exist then lmao

LMAO

[sharp kindle]

to quick scope automata walkers

thats about it

[clear lintel]

I guess

[obsidian flame]

classic reddit

"oh no they nerfed the only things that make me actually survive"

oh no they made the game slightly less easy

[clear lintel]

Localization confusion?

[obsidian flame]

wtf

[clear lintel]

What's that gonna do, confuse the enemies? Lmao

Cutting edge technology after all

[obsidian flame]

I think it may interfere with dropships/bug breaches

make them appear at a random location farther from where it was called

[clear lintel]

Oh yeah probably

I hope it decreases the amount of patrols

[raw folio]

Oh that is fucked on the creek

[twin perch]

It might make patrols less annoying

[eager cliff]

What are you doing on Creek

If we lose the mechs we lose Creek

Get your ass on Kwan

[raw folio]

I'm not on creek motherfucker

I was looking to see what environmental effect it had

[eager cliff]

Yeah that one and the 100% collodwn is cringe af

nobody wants that specially when you get bug breach / dropships every 10 secodns

https://tenor.com/view/critkid7139-gif-23793406

[plain bough]

I'd rock that localized confusion if it means that breaches/dropships are farther away

[obsidian flame]

that's what I guess it does

[clear lintel]

That grenade might be useful

Especially with a grenade armor

[plain bough]

as long as it can stun all targets, top tier grenade then

[obsidian flame]

tbh I'm surprised a stun grenade wasn't part of the first wb lmao

[tawny herald]

One of the reasons why I liked it

[obsidian flame]

or

OR

literally just like the laser rifle from Helldivers 1

that, for no other reason than pure coincidence

has the exact same name

[red field]

Wait so yr telling me that the devs making a sequel to their game are using weapons and items from their first game? I have never before seen such a precedent set in a video game /s

[tawny herald]

me pullin up in malevelon with this bad boy

[obsidian flame]

pew

set it to unsafe = turbo laser rifle

[latent zodiac]

miss
miss
critical hit, 97 damage.
critical failure, 35 damage

[tawny herald]

If we had the turbo plasma caster the creek would be ours already

[latent zodiac]

3rd premium warbond better have that gauss pistol

[obsidian flame]

they haven't paid out the previous major order, right?

Also, people who relie on shields to live a straight up pussies

I'll be back when mechs are in

tbh I never heard of helldivers before the hype of the second game

[shy schooner]

If I don't spill my blood upon the world I land on, how will they know I was there

First game was good and definitely worth playing if you wanna spoil your own headcanon on what the devs are gonna do with the new factions and stuff

We pulling out the FO1 weapons I see

Alls I'll say is it is my opinion that the automatons are not pushing towards super earth but rather towards their "homeworld" of cyberstan

[tawny herald]

The galactic war in the first game is the same as the "First galactic war" of this game?

[obsidian flame]

I believe so

[tawny herald]

nah I mean, npcs will usually mention the first galactic war, so I always tought they meant the campaign of the first game

[plain bough]

Alright time to helldive into Tien Kwan

[tawny herald]

going solo?

[plain bough]

nope

[red field]

Tien Kwan sounds like an arms manufacturer from cyberpunk lol

Love it

[tawny herald]

I'm up if u want one more

[plain bough]

ironically the planet has the sole manufacturing of mech suits lol

[red field]

Fitting tbh, interesting they are starting with only the exo-45 being available

Wonder if the others are ready already or if it's a "lore shield" to give them time to get the others more polished

Probably a bit of both

[plain bough]

100 years is enough time for peace to come about, no need to manufacture heavy hitters

though they do have an unusual amount of super destroyers ready

[tawny herald]

sent

Super earth cranking out super destroyers meanwhile I'm still trying to get my first advanced toolkit 💀 red forest is the backdrop to my nightmares nowadays

yeah whole bunch of people joined after

[tawny herald]

managed democracy

[twin perch]

So uh

Why does the unsafe railgun not strip charger leg armor anymore?

at 80% charge shots

I put 4 into one...

I also had 3 chargets at once, in a diff 4 solo..

Also, I was killing them via holding M1 with the Spray and Pray

[tawny herald]

flamethrower > railgun

[twin perch]

Somehow

[eager cliff]

simply shit rn vs bugs

against robots is usable

[tawny herald]

agains bots didnt change much tbh

[twin perch]

Yeah but

why tf there's no armor strip anymore??

[plain bough]

first match of the day and 100sc pack nice

So far people keep disconnecting ingame for some reason

[twin perch]

Game crashes a lot more

so far i enjoy the game ... but the standard controls/keybindings are ... BAD

Tien Kwan liberation picking up speed now, 56%

if i dont see you dying on Kwan you are banned

IM HEADING THERE

HAD SOME FTL ISSUES

[tawny herald]

how am I supposed to spread democracy like this

[tawny herald]

Autocannon users 🤝 Laser users

[sharp kindle]

scythe laser cannon laser rover is a very fun loadout

[tawny herald]

Been running the slugger, and its pretty good, one shots mediums on the head 👍

[eager cliff]

idk how , might be skill issue

but i tried it and it was doing jack shit

i was aiming it at the eyes

[sharp kindle]

well you werent hitting it then

the thing downs hulks

in relative speed

as something

like the amr
maybe slower

[tawny herald]

the amr can 2 shot hulks iirc

like the autocannon

[twin perch]

Its very temperamental

And devas can decide not to stagger

[bitter elk]

Somethin ain't right with my kwan

D7 and every dropship flare seem to summon like 3-5 dropships

The fucc

[bitter elk]

It would be meta if they released it early cuz Kwan got liberated so fast

But knowing how the guy behind the % directly alters it, i also find have no doubt he would prob just shoot the % down lol

[bitter elk]

Is 100sc still a thing? How? I only get 10 ones ever

[sharp kindle]

they are rare packs

[plain bough]

very small chance of it turning into 100sc

this would make it twice i've gotten it

probably should've been more passive about my SC farming, nearly 2K now

[autumn talon]

gotta do some farming later

or not main thing rn, is democratic nap

[plain bough]

gotta farm medals tho, need like 200 to immediately complete the first tier when it drops

[bitter elk]

Yeah I'm omega low on SC myself ATM lol

Haven't even bought the prem warbond yet

Cuz been spending on outfit

KEKW

[autumn talon]

lvl1 imo is fast for that one too, well it depends on the rng luck on medal drops tho

[bitter elk]

Trivial random mission defo but

Needs a partner to speed it up though

[plain bough]

when you get 1-2 bunker drops in and you got no buddy to press the button

[autumn talon]

yee

[bitter elk]

Feelsbadman

[autumn talon]

i think if enough peeps to squad up 7 is good overall medal one

[bitter elk]

Yeah D7 is chill if you got decently competent team to just vibe and passively get medals and all samples

I don't push to D8 as the heavy spawn gets too much

And it's less chill at that point

[autumn talon]

eh d8 good for supes

[bitter elk]

Sure but granted if you been running D7 early before you even needed them

You eventually get enough to get all that you need anyway

[autumn talon]

yeah and you dont even need many supes

[bitter elk]

That's kinda the neat thing about supers

[plain bough]

you'll get max supers before finishing the rares

[bitter elk]

They don't force you to grind that one

It's the common one that is in need most of the time

Which is vibe.

[plain bough]

I have 330 common lol

I need more rares

[bitter elk]

Funny enough I never seem to run out of rares lol

I have 3 upgrades left and then the grind is over for upgrades

Till they introduce more

Which they likely will with mechs

I presume vehicles aren't coming together though

[plain bough]

mechs the highlight, the others probably at a later date

with more vehicle friendly maps probs

[tawny herald]

what the fuck

[obsidian flame]

why even go there when there's more important shit

[eager cliff]

until we get mechs we wont win that shit

[tawny herald]

someone has to hold the line till we get the mechs

[eager cliff]

Yes, hold the line on Kwan

[tawny herald]

Did 2 campaigns on Kwan, time to go back to the Creek

[shy schooner]

I got fucked UP by rocket devistators

[obsidian flame]

this orbital laser kinda fucky

[shy schooner]

[obsidian flame]

also I love when meteor showers take out enemy outposts and I get credit

[shy schooner]

TRUE

Had that happen to a spotlight

Also, all my buds do NOT like robots

[twin perch]

@eager cliff

@clear lintel

[shy schooner]

Also, I don't usually ask but, what loadout you guys rock as AT specialist in helldivers?

[twin perch]

AT Spec?

AR and Recoiless

[obsidian flame]

uh oh they already dumbing the game down

[shy schooner]

Anti-Mat rifle?

[twin perch]

No, the actual rocket launcher

[shy schooner]

This is more inline with the original game is it not?

[twin perch]

AT means Hulks, Tanks, Chargers

Anti Mat is when I want to play support

Recoiless is for dedicated support

[shy schooner]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1212788564270645368/1215124320972447845/Screenshot_20240307-042951.png?ex=65fb9bb6&is=65e926b6&hm=c6a010e00e8ca647a7cfae9f48a592a6cd9bd7cf31b3efeddbf49df85190bd3d&

Ah

[obsidian flame]

nope. You had to get a direct 90º angle hit on enemy heavies to take them out in one shot

if you shot at a lower angle it dealt less damage

[shy schooner]

I was talking about difficulty XD

But that's also good to know

I usually use Recoilless when im AT

[obsidian flame]

oh. I wouldn't be able to tell, because it's been a while since I played hd1 to remember how high difficulty felt like there

but supposedly I have the achievement for completing a mission and extracting successfully on 10

[shy schooner]

Im stuck between using Stalwart or Arc when I want to be anti infantry

[twin perch]

Stalwart with a medium pen primary

[buoyant urchin]

Havent done much stalwart but the bit i did was very fun. Arc is so fun too

[twin perch]

ARC is a middle range anti-armor

[latent zodiac]

"Medium-Introduces Medium sized enemies"
me getting tanks medium

[shy schooner]

That chart is HD1

I hope they introduce new levels of hell

[obsidian flame]

"Medium" is difficulty 3 in hd2
it shouldn't even have hulks

[buoyant urchin]

Anyone play with controller? Hows the vibration feel with the game?

[latent zodiac]

i know
but i feel like it would make sense to sorta follow HD1s difficulty levels

[shy schooner]

[buoyant urchin]

But its a different game

[obsidian flame]

yes, but also no

[buoyant urchin]

Although it would be nice to have a bigger pool of games to join with less difficulty options now that i think about it

If I hit “quickplay” i don’t know if im fighting bots or bugs on deployment

[shy schooner]

I pray to god we get mechs when we liberate this planet

[obsidian flame]

ya know I wish I had the patience to actually do side stuff during missions

instead I just

go to whatever ? marks are between me and the objective/extraction

and hope there's something good

result: extract with 2 common samples, 1 rare sample and MAYBE an extra 100 req

[shy schooner]

I will hit EVERY side place due to my lust for ammo/stim that's scattered around
(I do not have trigger discipline)

[obsidian flame]

Me neither

that's why I use lasers

and I'm a bit on the fence about them

[buoyant urchin]

Spoken like a true stalker
Stalkerdiver

[obsidian flame]

I think I'd rather have something that kills instantly

[shy schooner]

I like watching rockets and autocannon round hit their armor, make it more cinamatic

Railgun was just poof
They dead

[obsidian flame]

same

the laser cannon takes a while to wind up and then takes a while to kill the target

I've had bot dropships get called in the meantime

while I was lasering the robot that was preparing to shoot the flare

[shy schooner]

"Then, my homie with the recoilless BLAST the dropships out of the sky,, leading to it blocking the enemies fire, allowing us to escape"

in the optimal world IG

[obsidian flame]

I gave up shooting down dropships. Unreliable results

[shy schooner]

I love shooting them down

[obsidian flame]

rather just drop an eagle airstrike at the drop location

[shy schooner]

That works too

As long as the blood is spilled

[eager cliff]

of course but reddit had to be reddit

[limber bluff]

arc thrower over railgun??

[eager cliff]

depends on what others have , i saw mixed reviews on teh arc

some ppl swaer by it , some only teamkill lol

[clear lintel]

Arc requires more skill

[plain bough]

When people insist on going infront of the arc thrower

[vague marsh]

damn they nerfed railcannon hard

now you must use it on unsafe if you wanna kill titans / chargers

[light nymph]

Good

[vague marsh]

it ricochet's from charger

on safe mode

[median trellis]

i'm sick for 4 days and i come back to charger and biles becoming more aids

[vague marsh]

you seen the patch notes ?

[median trellis]

reading them atm

[plain bough]

like 30 second long barrages

[median trellis]

[shy schooner]

What difficulty you guys rocking on robots?

[bleak patrol]

Meteors suck ass

[plain bough]

they happen every other minute or so, and conveniently over your head

only saving grace is that sometimes outposts are destroyed by meteors too

[vague marsh]

how do i make it so when i dive it instantly gets up again ?

[sharp kindle]

press spacebar ?

[clear lintel]

lmao

Pretty much

[obsidian flame]

I've been soloing 4, which is easy and smooth enough while not being completely brainless

[plain bough]

Been there, randos thinking its fine to toss a barrage nearby and the team eats an artillery shell

[sharp kindle]

[median trellis]

[obsidian flame]

ye kosm mentioned this earlier

[raw folio]

Man the slugger.

I actually really like it with the 60 rounds now

[vague marsh]

i am now a rover hater.

died 3 times cuz of it

Mf shot an explosive barrel while turning

[buoyant urchin]

[late dagger]

What's a good setup these days post nerf

[vague marsh]

im diggin the new punisher

[sharp kindle]

punisher is quite good now

funny enough

the punisher has more pen than the railgun on safe mode

[vague marsh]

[sharp kindle]

safe mode is actual baby mode now

[bleak patrol]

Punisher slaps

[latent zodiac]

did the slugger get changed as well? i don't have it yet.

[vague marsh]

nope

only punisher

they specify

when another version

gets buffed / nerfed

like this one

[raw folio]

slugger has 60 rounds now aswell

It did benefit from the capacity increase.

damage however was unchanged as it was already pretty decent in that regard

[obsidian flame]

Joel pushin back

[light nymph]

In addition, we forgot to mention (oops) that the EAT-17 and Recoilless Rifle no longer suffer from a 50% damage decrease when hitting an armored enemy at a 'glance angle' that deflects the shot.
They buffed the EAT and RR too

[vague marsh]

[raw folio]

It just wouldn't have made sense tbh if the slugger also wasn't bumped up to 60 as its literally a slug punisher with a different scope

(Which it did get bumped up to 60, to be clear)

[obsidian flame]

they get no damage decrease at all when hitting at an angle?

they dumbing down the game already

[vague marsh]

bruh

[obsidian flame]

yep

happened to me last week

[autumn talon]

@vague marshdog

who ya playing with? not sure if i will do farming

[vague marsh]

oh irl friend

and a steam friend that just joined

[autumn talon]

[vague marsh]

we just finished the operation

and i need to eat

if ya want i could go for farmin

after i eat

it was our match that liberated this planet

[autumn talon]

lemme get soem coffee, i took a casual 3.5 hour nap

[vague marsh]

its alright if u dont wanna. I need to reinstall some games anyways

[autumn talon]

skom had angel voice so my ass went to mirmir town

[vague marsh]

[clear lintel]

Skom has angelic voice?

[autumn talon]

lemme think, im at that part of my waking up that i dont know what the fuck i wanna do

[clear lintel]

[autumn talon]

yeah i went to watch hist sulfur stream

[vague marsh]

sulfur stream ?

[hallow rain]

That's fucking awesome

[raw folio]

Sure it was

[vague marsh]

it went from 99.7 to 100%

i swear

[late dagger]

whats a good way to farm?

[autumn talon]

he streamed sulfur, anyways, i could go for a lil d7 op farm

[vague marsh]

depends

if ya want common only

[autumn talon]

@median trellis you down?

[vague marsh]

just go diff 1-3

if ya want rare 4

if ya want super diff 7

[raw folio]

||I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you finish on operation on an already liberated planet that's what ya see|| If you want to break your suspension of disbelief

[autumn talon]

then diff 7/8 for rares and commons

[vague marsh]

s-shut up

[autumn talon]

this was pre patch so need to farming with sparter again

[vague marsh]

we saved the planet

[raw folio]

But it doesn't matter. We all fight for democracy

[median trellis]

in 10mins

[autumn talon]

ay

[vague marsh]

10 mins ? damn what am i gonna eat in 10 mins

[raw folio]

For Super-Earth

[autumn talon]

@raw folioyou down for some tomfoolery?

[late dagger]

sparter?

[vague marsh]

im also in that stage before being sick

[autumn talon]

another one of us here

[vague marsh]

where u feel tired and have slight sore on throat

so tomorrow im sick

[raw folio]

unfortunately handling something but was popping in for a sec, then eating so i got like an hour

[median trellis]

i have been living of pasta and pudding for the last 4 days

[vague marsh]

[autumn talon]

@sharp kindle what you up to?

[raw folio]

yeah y'all play perfectly when I eat dinner

[vague marsh]

ah. i was wondering why there were slight hiccups

[autumn talon]

[vague marsh]

Game bar

why is it always game bar that fucks with my pc

whenever i format

just want some clips man

[sharp kindle]

not much
but ima get busy real soon

[vague marsh]

brb need to look at pills

to see which one i need to get

[bitter elk]

It's funny that only ever happened once, where for several days prior I felt a weird lack of energy and just generally feeling like not laughing at things as much

Next day wake up came down with a fucked voice and throat, and fever all at the same time

Fascinating human body noises

[autumn talon]

[bitter elk]

I should probably up my samples farming as well

[sharp kindle]

need to farm i have less than 500 sc

[bitter elk]

Need to max out last three upgrade and stock up for in case mech comes with their own upgrade

[median trellis]

are you buying every armor in shop rotation or what

[bitter elk]

I have like 250 lol, gave in and bought the extra padding heavy armor

[autumn talon]

do funny full squad d1 farm

[sharp kindle]

[median trellis]

[bitter elk]

The desire is real

https://tenor.com/view/chipmunk-dramatic-gif-4265641

[sharp kindle]

fashion
is the real endgame

[autumn talon]

ma precious

[bitter elk]

Bro much richer than I'd ever be

And I'm like level 45

Granted I legit never farmed yet

[autumn talon]

i need 360 commons, 300 rares to fully upgrade

[median trellis]

a btw the sample cap going from common to supers is 500,250,100

[sharp kindle]

me telling this chat to farm sc and its consequences

[bitter elk]

Oh you are hoarding ig

And then blowing all at once

[median trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-money-gif-11710600037954750230

[autumn talon]

yousaying 100 sc at d1 and the consequences

[sharp kindle]

[autumn talon]

eh i dont know if i will even fully upgrade

[bitter elk]

Eh better than letting it cap if you ask me

[light nymph]

you will

[autumn talon]

just saving for next week and maxing out new shit

or well saving for mechs tbh

[bitter elk]

We got 7 days

Ez pz farminz

[autumn talon]

im not too far from fully maxing out

[bitter elk]

But yeah I need to go to town on SC farming as well

[autumn talon]

4 upgrades left

[bitter elk]

Omega broke

[light nymph]

do it

max out

[autumn talon]

[bitter elk]

The only modules I haven't maxed is orbitals

L o l

Outside EMS and smoke, and the laser, railcannon, I just don't use it all that much

[autumn talon]

mine is backpack cooldown, hellpod control and sentry deploy and turn time

[bitter elk]

Hellpod control can be pretty nice at times for sure, but the fact occasionally it locks you from steering for some reason

Is fucking stupid lol

[bitter elk]

Not having sentry turn time is crimiNAL

[autumn talon]

planet effect

[bitter elk]

How so

[autumn talon]

mortar doesnt really need it tho

[autumn talon]

strong wind is the name

[bitter elk]

I swear I must be blind cuz I never saw it, hm

IL check back later

[bitter elk]

I presume not much of a sentry lover? Cause everything else is pretty dank with it

Apart from MG Sentry

No reason to exist lol

Also they taking another look at spawn intensity of elite enemies

[autumn talon]

naah i use mortars on the eradicate mission

[bitter elk]

So that's huge

[autumn talon]

thats about it

[bitter elk]

Also EAT and recoilless used to glance off enemies? Bruh lol

[bitter elk]

Eradicate is so fucked now, I'm sad about it lol ngl

[autumn talon]

i think its in the rainstorm or the other storms when it just fucking moves you to the side when dropping

[bitter elk]

Yeah perhaps, it just seriously frustrated me when I wanted to maneuver to some better locations

And then game is just all like

oh no you don't

Locks me in place for whatever shit drop point it has for me

[autumn talon]

yeah its included inb the storms

[vague marsh]

back

[bitter elk]

Fair, I should have read more on the weather part

At least now I know

[autumn talon]

me when force dropped to d9 bot base

[bitter elk]

Solo reinforce choosing the worst spot to reinforce you be like

[autumn talon]

it doesnt say it nowhere but never had it happen when in non storm op

[bitter elk]

Welcome b a c k

[bitter elk]

Yeah il have to test and see myself later for sure

[autumn talon]

well fuck you then order givers

[bitter elk]

What's the % on Kwan atm

[autumn talon]

60%

we getting mechs soon boys

keep it up

[bitter elk]

Noice

They never mentioned mech has to come with warbond

So it would be pog if mech releases

As soon as Kwan is liberated

[vague marsh]

gonna eat then pill time

hopefully the correct pill

[bitter elk]

I could prob just farm SC in Kwan ig

[autumn talon]

me and stu gonna go for a quick d7 bug mission for myu daily

[vague marsh]

aight

hopefully i will come in the next mission

[bitter elk]

I do wonder how's the latency when peeps play across regions

[autumn talon]

not bad

[vague marsh]

good

[autumn talon]

played across globe and didnt notice

[vague marsh]

ye

[raw folio]

pretty damn good

[autumn talon]

into the gas

[raw folio]

I'm US, Hate and Doge are far across euro , and we get some decent ping when everything works

[late dagger]

how do you go about farming for samples and sc

ive never seen a good way to do it

[raw folio]

For SC just do trivials and hit the pois

[vague marsh]

1 question

[raw folio]

in and out and SC doesn't really scale

[vague marsh]

if u fail a mission

[late dagger]

what about samples?

[vague marsh]

do the sc's

come or no

[raw folio]

SC is straight to account

[vague marsh]

noice

[raw folio]

You can get a good amount of commons on trivials while farming SC, rares and super are best done at same time on 7

[late dagger]

i dont think ive gone past 6

[bitter elk]

What level are you ATM?

[late dagger]

13

[bitter elk]

During my early days even D5 was pretty hard for me

Nowadays that one is a breeze so I certainly get ya

[late dagger]

yo 3 and 4 are tough alone

[raw folio]

(God forbid high difficulty be difficult if you asked discord or reddit)

[bitter elk]

You are by all means of technicality ready D7

But I would certainly try to solo a couple D5s

Get yourself ready for the shit show

By that I mean automatons

[raw folio]

D7 bots rn is "Shit hits the fan" due to the major order modification

[bitter elk]

I ain't telling u to go fuck yourself with the bugs

[bitter elk]

Yeah what the fuck is up with kwan

I went into D7 with mates

[raw folio]

Check first message of Z

[bitter elk]

Thinking its gonna be breeze

[raw folio]

It'll answer your question

[obsidian flame]

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/third-person-shooter/helldivers-2-boss-apologizes-for-horrible-dev-comments-says-arrowhead-has-taken-action-internally-to-educate-our-developers/

[late dagger]

ya its just hard when randos dip mid match and your alone trying to fend off 4 bile titans and a million chargers

[obsidian flame]

the drama continues

[bitter elk]

Shit spawns FIVE DROPSHIP

I was like

HUOEOEOEEEEEE

Dies

XD

[bitter elk]

Goddamn, yeah I gotta check that

[bitter elk]

To be fair I don't blame the dev

The community of HD2

Is extremely toxic from what I see

At least on discord

[obsidian flame]

yeah

[bitter elk]

I'd lose my temperament too

[obsidian flame]

but the CEO caved in to the whiners

[bitter elk]

If under such condition

[bitter elk]

That's just how it is sometimes sadly

I think I played pure bots

Until I was like 35+

Got myself real used to their style of engagement

[raw folio]

Yeah the discord is full of people that just don't understand the balancing.

[obsidian flame]

or they do and just want to have their OP little toys so they can win

[raw folio]

But they do have a point in that you want strategems to be the huge thing at 8, then have insane cooldowns on them at that level

[vague marsh]

i like how

devs see every single player using breaker

[bitter elk]

I mean balancing is one thing, the other is the amount of shit flinging

Like I can't get a proper debate and conversation there without getting told to git gud

[vague marsh]

and they want other opportunities

but when they do

every player is now against devs

[raw folio]

Reportedly other weapons saw similar success rates to the breaker despite its popularity I read somewhere

[bitter elk]

Yeah on the ethos blog

For their reasoning of patch

I personally moved away from breaker long ago

[vague marsh]

Sycthe

[bitter elk]

My main is currently

Slugger or Scorcher

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-6997856904020830598

[vague marsh]

i swapped to punisher

cuz breaker is bad now

[bitter elk]

Slugger is the sniper rifle that Diligence was meant to be

Not sure how they cocked that one up

[raw folio]

I use either diligence or slugger for bots and breaker or punisher for bugs

Because I like blowing bug limbs off

[bitter elk]

Specifically

CS diligence

We don't talk about that one

[vague marsh]

[bitter elk]

I like slugger for bugs too tbh

But Scorcher is mildly better as it can solo charger in case of emergencies

And still do the same thing as slugger

Penetrating med armor

[late dagger]

Are bots easier than bugs?

[raw folio]

Slugger can too

[bitter elk]

In solo, most definitely easier if you can separate and control your engagement properly

[raw folio]

Tag it twice in the back of the front leg, trust

Near the hinge

[bitter elk]

But bots can also hit the fan fast too

Like a cascade of problems all at once if you let the fights fester

Key is swift strike, fast and strong

Before they could call dropships if possible

That said, with a team, bugs are easier since you just speedrun point to point and can ignore most enemies

Solo, nyeh, arguably a lot trickier but yeah

[late dagger]

What's a decent early game load out?

[raw folio]

Bugs are swift hits on patrols, bots are precise hits to prevent drops

commissar is priority 1 target on bots because it gives me a second of breathing room to take out anyone else that can call drops in

[bitter elk]

Depends on

What you want to challenge

[bitter elk]

Honestly when I solo bots

I just bring the rifle drone

Deletes them much quicker than I could

Like seriously that thing is awesome

[raw folio]

I'm quick with it

[late dagger]

What about lazer one?
