H e h

Lazer is great Vs bugs

Especially in snow planets

Rifle drone for bots

[late dagger]

Gotta save up

[bitter elk]

Albeit as of late it has a tendency to really kill its owner too lol

When you surrounded and it 360s around you

Lasering you in the process

Especially with the armor fix

[bitter elk]

Versus bugs the following support weapon is great:

Recoilless rifle - anti charger, one shot to the leg breaks armor, spray with primary or secondary to quick kill, can delete bile titan in 2-4 shots depending on how good you are at aiming at their weak point

Autocannon - superb option for dealing with bug nest, and swarm, and bug eggs. Can't deal with charger as easily nor bile titan so you will struggle Vs. them

Grenade launcher - good Vs bugs nest, not as good as autocannon at range but it's alright. Awesome anti swarm tool, also lack power Vs charger and bile titan.

Flamethrower - strong anti bug tool, even Vs charger, but requires a moderate amount of experience to use it and you have a strong tendency to self immolate and die from burn damage

Stalwart - strong anti swarm, but not recommended if solo as you now do not have the option to deal with tank enemies

EAT - Recoilless equivalent, but for on the go with low cooldown, good if you tend to die a lot as if you do with recoilless rifle, you have to wait for cd or run back to where you died to get it.

Not sure if there's any other weaponry for you to use at your current level

[tawny herald]

Slugger is basically punisher but more accurate, Slugger = Slugs

[bitter elk]

My current long favourite combo with bugs is EMS and Gas orbital combo

Easily shuts down breaches

[late dagger]

What about bots?

[raw folio]

Adding onto gl if you find yourself on a map with a lot of bile spewers it is fantastic to keep them from clumping as 2 to the ass sends them to meet their tyrannical god

Autocannon requires some skill for chargers as you need to hit the back of the leg near the hinge once, then the front.

[bitter elk]

i wish they put the level req of stratagems

even after you unlockedthem

for easy reference lol

[bitter elk]

Aye, I hate bile spewers, slightly below hunters

extremely annoying en masse

tanky as hell too for what they are

[autumn talon]

@vague marsh

[vague marsh]

ya ?

[autumn talon]

swim

[vague marsh]

swim ?

[autumn talon]

dive=swim

[vague marsh]

ah.

ok gimme 3 minutes

[autumn talon]

okie

[raw folio]

Quick rundown, recoilless is good as you can take down drop ships with one to the engine but right now if it kills or not is...iffy at best.
Anti material rifle is actually really good against bots as you can one hit a lot of the enemies and even hulks you can 2 tap to their visor. Autocannon is much like AMR in that you can tap thing with it. Also you can bounce it's rounds into the fabs to kill them

[median trellis]

ngl the 380 seems kinda good now

[bitter elk]

Recoilless Rifle - Shoots down drop ships, average anti-Hulk, anti-tank weapon, can also deal with devastators shields and cannon turrets too, albeit to a lesser effect for the latter

EAT - Recoilless equivalent, same as bug explanation

Autocannon - Great anti-Hulk weapon, if you can shoot their eyes out, twice to the noggin deletes them, ineffective(?) vs tanks up front, can deal with their vents, same with cannon turrets. Excellent vs. devastators, knocks back their shield and staggers them, also strong anti-strider option. Can ricochet off fabricator vent to delete them

AMR - Solid long range option, but does take an above average amount of skill to properly utilize it, can delete striders in 3 frontal shots, two shots to Hulk's eye to kill, but need to be a lot more precise with your aim compared to autocannon

I never used AMR much personally because it takes quite a fair amount of skill up your part to utilize it fully

I've found better success and consistency just relying on autocannon

as a generalist anti bot weaponry

[vague marsh]

now that they butchered rail cannon

which support weapon we goin with ?

[bitter elk]

pretty deuce for hammering targets from a distant for sure

[vague marsh]

for bugs

[bitter elk]

depends on what you want to do with them

anti charger and anti bile titan? spear, recoilless rifle, EAT

anti charger? flamethrower, recoilless rifle, EAT, spear

anti swarm? flamethrower, arc thrower, stalwart, grenade launcher

My personal pick at the moment is flamethrower, arc thrower and grenade launcher

Autocannon if I'm speedrunning bug nest

Spear is great if I want to be able to easily deal with titans at all times without relying on stratagems, also Recoilless Rifle

[buoyant urchin]

So, everything

[bitter elk]

generalist support? id go with flamethrower personally

[raw folio]

@autumn talon still got a spot open?

they had decent points

this is the post

[fast spindle]

yeah devs arent the best PR reps

crazy enough

[autumn talon]

meh

its reddit, suprised?

[obsidian flame]

engaging the playerbase on reddit is a big mistake

keep it in discord

and keep it at a minimum

[autumn talon]

reddit as a whole is a mistake

[obsidian flame]

agreed

[sharp kindle]

even on discord

another dev was throwing shit

[autumn talon]

maybe gamers are just soft

[bitter elk]

You can also apparently straight up delete it

With 500kg bomb

Like my friend bombed the landing point

And pelican just said it arrived

Except there was no pelican

[autumn talon]

[bitter elk]

Lmao

[autumn talon]

the cold harsh truth

[sharp kindle]

on one hand yes

on the other

those times were way too toxic

[autumn talon]

naaah

naaah

[bitter elk]

Internet brings out the worst of people anyway

[autumn talon]

[sharp kindle]

[autumn talon]

cod4 lobbies werent toxic

naaah

[bitter elk]

In the 2000s I was busy playing Ragnarok Online

[sharp kindle]

yeaaaah defo no bad words were screamed at players

[bitter elk]

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

[autumn talon]

nowadays it would be just a constant censoring beep

but because of it we older gamer dont start crying when dev say peepeepoopooo your loadout is doodoo

[bitter elk]

That said these days a lot of gamers just don't have a lot of patience and an extreme amount of

What is the word for it

Selfishness?

[sharp kindle]

its one of those scenarios were ppl dont like getting told what to do by the employee

happens all the time

which is why you should never work customer service

[autumn talon]

yeah, you could use that or entitlement fits too

[bitter elk]

Oh yeah that's what I wanted to find

The word of self entitlement lol

[bleak patrol]

I'm still gonna say it's a massive "skill issue" on the part of everyone who is complaining with the slight bonus of "git gud, scrub"

[sharp kindle]

epic gamers also being super entitled is nothing new

[bitter elk]

Moving away from gamer stupid topic tho

What does everyone feel about recoilless rifle atm

Vs. EAT

[sharp kindle]

i prefer rr

[bitter elk]

I'm surprised to find a lot of people seem to think RR bad

[sharp kindle]

but

eat is quite good

[bitter elk]

Like they want it to be it as close to EAT as possible

Lol

[sharp kindle]

i feel like eats work better in a low communication group

[bitter elk]

Yeah I keep mentioning that the two is an equivalent of each other

Just one designed for solo low effort low reward

The other team work style, high output high risk

And yet just because of the need for teamwork constraint (for it to rapid fire)

People assume it's bad, lol

[sharp kindle]

with at least 1 fren

the rr is alot better

those quick reloads

[bitter elk]

I play with friend time to time

I keep forgetting we can team reload ngl

Since I'm used to play with randoms

[bitter elk]

Tho granted it is true that team reload feels a bit

Hm, finicky?

And defo need someone to cover for the duo or divert pressure so they can focus on priority targets

[sharp kindle]

ooh yeah with any of the support weapons with team reloads

[bitter elk]

Like I can't imagine trying to combine setup amidst being chased by like

[sharp kindle]

they cant take getting shot at

[bitter elk]

200 bugs, no way

Or shot at by 500 bots

Kek

[bitter elk]

With bots prob easier tbh

Just plop down a shield relay

And you have a good window to blast off

[sharp kindle]

https://vxtwitter.com/HelldiversAlert/status/1763612239431684302

[bitter elk]

That doesn't sound too bad of a plan

[sharp kindle]

if the shield dome lasted longer would be better

but its gone super quick

[bitter elk]

It last a fair bit, enough to provide a window to counter blast, assuming you are using that safety time to combine setup

But yeah otherwise it be rough

[bitter elk]

Gotta applaud how fast that support dude came running lol

Pretty alert, that guy

Support team weapon is deffo a lot easier to do if two person carrying the same weapon tbh

So they can still self reload if needed

And support if needed

IL have to try this out time to time

[clear lintel]

If the commando is coming, coop reload will have to be mandatory

It took 5 seconds to reload completely in the first game

[bitter elk]

What is the commando again

Laser guided 4 tube rocket launcher?

[clear lintel]

Yea

Lots of missiles at once

Theses bait videos are kind of cringe 😬

[twin perch]

Bruh

[twin perch]

Btw this one seems legit

just by virtue of having HUD

[shy schooner]

But...

Didn't you say it wasn't real :[

Nvm, you said "no but it wouldn't be surprising"

[twin perch]

Yea I double checked

there's no "POI FOUND" but also it's PS5 and the chat seems hidden by default

[shy schooner]

Das dumb >:(

Also, it seems to be level 3s it spawns on!

[twin perch]

I appear to have an awful time in tian kwan

[bitter elk]

It's apparently officially in the game already in the sense that people are finding it as very rare POIs, and yeah the extra addition of the HUD might probably make it so

[bitter elk]

When I realized how bad shit hits the fan with the current major order of automaton resistance I just decided not to do Kwan for now lol

[twin perch]

I'm just like

[bitter elk]

Nothing like seeing a flare and im all

"we are fucked"

5 dropship spawns

[twin perch]

yeah I'm not having fun

in 5

feels like a 7 at times

just dying constantly

I just dropped infront of 2 patrols and a dectaction tower in mission start

on a blitz

[bitter elk]

Yeah I was just like

"holy shit did they buff automatons or somethin"

No it's just Kwan being kwan

IL just wait for other gamers to clear it for us

What's the rate at ATM?

[twin perch]

Almost done

but they're pushing back at 8%

[twin perch]

I'm pretty sure they did something to enemy density

Playing on 5 and just

it's awful lol

[bitter elk]

Ayo? So we at 92% alr?

I swear I sure hope Devs don't mess with it lol

[bitter elk]

Granted the current major order is in effect that says automaton is like

seriously pushing back

So that's why we are seeing an increase in

Well

Everything automaton

[earnest stag]

No more single missions

[twin perch]

Basically

It's been like pulling teeth

and i'm literally just thinking

"I'm just going to play on 3 solo"

[earnest stag]

At least you got all the upgrades

I do not

Also i need to play more Helldivers again

Im up for later

[bitter elk]

Even with all the upgrades, doin automatons solo ATM is just suffering

[earnest stag]

I farmed bugs in extermination,i needed 500

[bitter elk]

Too much resustance

[earnest stag]

One on 5 has 350 now

[twin perch]

I'm glad to know I'm not like, the only one feeling it Xan lol

[twin perch]

I can't do anything Eradication anymore

because people don't join

or the game is more prone to crashing

[bitter elk]

It's probably doable if you don't ever like trigger a drop pod

Since it's the drop pod that makes it go insabe

Insane

Except good luck doin that when you raiding enemy base lol

[earnest stag]

Its also funny that it starts as soon as you land

No more time to setup

[bitter elk]

Detector tower in play nearby when you land

Just give up

[twin perch]

Even when I wasn't triggering alarms

[bitter elk]

[twin perch]

I was walking into Diff 7-8 Patrols

Lol

Like here's 3 heavy devas and 1 rocket guy

• lil guys

or here's 4 AT AT's

[bitter elk]

Oof lol

[twin perch]

Yeah, I went to extract

and I was being pushed by 5 directions

[bitter elk]

Ok but it's at 92% right?

So couple hours, soonTM

I dunno which madlad is doin em but yeah

[twin perch]

Joel is basically upping the % pushback

the moment he can

[bitter elk]

97k players only on there

There was like 200k usually so it's probably one of the timezone sleep time

Alert the bots too

Lol

[plain bough]

Tien Kwan at 94%

[haughty mango]

Anybody know if its possible to install GAMMA on the Steam Deck?

[main laurel]

I think Tien Kwan is a trap, the terminids pushed really hard while we were all focused on it

[twin perch]

#╟🔰☢newbies-chat

[twin perch]

last night they were at 6% push rate and bots on 8

[heavy heart]

Push rates get adjusted based on player numbers

[main laurel]

I hope they don't pull a "You all wanted mechs so bad that the terminids are now invading your home"

Though it would be fun

[heavy heart]

Probably will be

[eager cliff]

doesnt matter, if thats the main order for 45 medals thas what we do ye

lore-wise probably

[heavy heart]

"You saved Tien Kwan, the mechs are ready just in time because Super Earth is under attack!"

Not one step back for democracy, or some crap

[main laurel]

Since I'm hearing that there's someone playing game master on the galactic war map

We might expect such things, which is damn cool

[eager cliff]

Would make sense for the Mechs to save the day i guess

[heavy heart]

they seem to swing back and forth between bugs and bots

[obsidian flame]

yeah I approve that as well

it's more content

more major orders

more rewards

[plucky steppe]

recoilless rifle makes short work of the dropships, just shoot one of the engines before it has time to land anything

[earnest stag]

Only got 2 per call in which is not worth it overall,rather take the Railgun

[twin perch]

Recoiless is not EAT

XD

[plain bough]

Tien Kwan just about 96%

We gonna liberate this planet so hard

[twin perch]

James stop

[plain bough]

Oh, just got the 45 medals from the last order

[twin perch]

let me check

[obsidian flame]

weird flex

[twin perch]

I have to spend them now

[plain bough]

trickle little medals into the warbond and save up for the next prem warbond

[twin perch]

yeah

I have space for 45 more

[obsidian flame]

I haven't gotten mine yet

whoa I got 2 daily orders now

kill 2 bile titans again

complete 6 optional objectives

ezpz

oh I just got the 45 medals payout from the previous major order

[plain bough]

let it rain money

that makes it 80 medals if we complete Tien Kwan and personal orders today

[autumn talon]

ah fellow hoarder i should prolly use medals begore tien is done

[plain bough]

well technically 125 cause we got paid the previous order

Think the limit for medals is a bit too low, 500 medals seem more appropriate

[autumn talon]

should not be capped imo

let people hoarde if they want

[obsidian flame]

agreed

but they don't want ppl insta-unlocking an entire warbond as soon as it's out

[twin perch]

Yeah that's basically

it's 300 for prem or so

325

1300 for Main

[autumn talon]

capping wont do nothing for it tho

people will 50% insta unlock new stuff

[plain bough]

Steeled vets took about close to 700 medals to unlock

[autumn talon]

well if you open all yes

[plain bough]

I got more medals in that warbond than the regular pass lol

[autumn talon]

i have used 300 and gotten everything usefull except the last armor set

[twin perch]

325 is for final gun

[autumn talon]

cape and cards? naah

[plain bough]

I dig the white cape, I also want that Tier 10 cape on the regular pass

[heavy heart]

How long do these passes run for?

[plain bough]

forever

take on your own pace

[heavy heart]

They'll just add more in future, or more tiers?

[plain bough]

Think it'll be more premium warbonds unless they decide to add another free warbond pass

[heavy heart]

Right,

Eh. I'm just gonna feel old and hate on these premium things.

[plain bough]

well you can earn SC pretty easily

[twin perch]

Oh no

[sharp kindle]

Farming sc is super easy

[twin perch]

You're wrong mate

it's 1 free and 1 prem

[heavy heart]

certainly better than some, although I'm told the SC income dies down over time

[sharp kindle]

That's a lie

[autumn talon]

[sharp kindle]

A guy farmed 600$ worth of sc in the first week

[heavy heart]

Yeah, and I know a few folks who've farmed a bunch, but just seem to get slightly boosted at the start, found more in the first few levels than the latter ones.

Which... Would make sense, boosting it at the start is good for new players.

[sharp kindle]

Nah it's rng

[twin perch]

Brother, theres no nerfing of SC

Please stop just talking outta your ass

[heavy heart]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Just what folks have said in other discords, I don't play nearly enough to analyse this shit.

[sharp kindle]

The discord is full of shit

[heavy heart]

Well duh, it's discord

Folks either ass kiss or bitch. Or both at once.

[twin perch]

the HD2 discord is so bad

the "developer" guy wasn't even a dev

Yeah...

good thing I never join official game discords

it's expected tbf , people are entitled af

[autumn talon]

oh the one guy who just walked into the office and started streaming

[obsidian flame]

based

'increased resistance' and whatnot?

Probably because of the tien kwan liberation

Joel doesn't want it to be too easy

we're probably gonna liberate the planet faster than they can implement the exosuits that we'll get for liberating it

but then they could just

"mission complete, exosuit production is in full swing and they'll be ready for deployment in X days"

where x = next patch

dunno

[heavy heart]

All bot planets I believe

[obsidian flame]

Haven't done anything other than Tien Kwan since the major order started

[autumn talon]

well it says where the production is located not that the production is on and the suits are ready

[obsidian flame]

I'm not even that excited about the mechs, considering how crappy they were in 1

they gotta be MUCH better in this game for me to bother with them

I just want to farm me medals

[autumn talon]

i want them to fix the damn bugs

last night was a struggle bus man

[obsidian flame]

I haven't had many issues

[autumn talon]

4 man was buggy af, gameplay was buggy af, after 2 missions just stopped and went to watch yt

[obsidian flame]

oh. I've been playing either solo or 2-man

worst thing that happened was me getting stuck on the corner of the Pelican door when trying to extract

[autumn talon]

dont really feel like farming d7 solo

[obsidian flame]

had to dive out then run back in

[obsidian flame]

oh I don't even touch difficulties above 4 when I'm solo

not worth the hassle

although I do need them super samples

[twin perch]

14 rocket shots, 1200 rounds

P sure there will be a hangar module for vic upgrades

[obsidian flame]

I'm more worried about their turn rate and mobility

[autumn talon]

from leaks they look ok

[twin perch]

Seemed very workable

you won't eat a titan leg or charger as long as they don't surprise you

don't think you can dodge rockets or tank shells too well though...

[obsidian flame]

I wouldn't expect that to be possible

[twin perch]

I neant you can barely dodge them normally ubless you use cover

So yeah

[clear lintel]

inb4 shield upgrade for exos

[twin perch]

I expect ammo, amount or smth else

[clear lintel]

armor, mobility and amount

[twin perch]

This to see if this is

https://youtu.be/7XvsSQEx7Z0

actually correct

[autumn talon]

i have always shot brood commanders legs

[twin perch]

Ah, it's not

Because he's using the penetration tool tip

But he does math

ahyo what

the AR-23P never felt that good to be like

8 shot taps

Oh cool not tooltip guidance only

[plain bough]

the giant head on those are just a distraction from the real weakpoint, its legs

[twin perch]

Yeah

but hold up

the breaker pens the belly armor

also yeah this confirms that like

"body/limb" HP

are very different things

[autumn talon]

well the guy shot brood with slugger 3 times belly, 3 times legs and it still needs 2 headshots to pop head and kill it

so makes sense each are has its own "health" kinda like tarkov has limbs and belly etc

[twin perch]

Yeah

and blowing off limbs is only a % of the actual HP

[autumn talon]

shoot weakest and it will deal direct hp dmg instead of are dmg

[twin perch]

ie, you only kill some broods after 3 leg shots

(blowing 3 of their legs)

[sharp kindle]

take 2 legs off and its dead

[autumn talon]

always go for legs with bugs

well not titan

and charger has armor but still

leg "meta"

[plain bough]

How we looking on Tien Kwan?

[twin perch]

Well, hitboxs are well made so you can shoot around the leg

[sharp kindle]

chargers have weaker armor leg armor after they miss a charge

[sharp kindle]

[plain bough]

very close

[twin perch]

yeah for some reason the shotgun has better pen than the assault rifle..

[autumn talon]

only things are bile spewers and nursing fucks

their legs tough

[twin perch]

ass sacc is 100% not a weakpoint, glad to know lol

I never shoot it cause it eats ammo

[autumn talon]

on spewer or nursing

[twin perch]

both

watching vid

[autumn talon]

cause the earlier talk we had i mixed nursing and spewer

[twin perch]

On green and yellow fucks

[autumn talon]

"side sacks got no armor"

so just shoot side sack of nursing

[twin perch]

this is shooting the sacks

[autumn talon]

thats what i did with breaker and it killed them with ease

[twin perch]

this is how much shots it take to kill at the sack

Just watch the video

they're surprisingly well done at least

[autumn talon]

naah, i got better things to do

[clear lintel]

I just shoot them at the head

[autumn talon]

i shoot head or the sack and last time i didnt even notice a difference when playing

must be a breaker thing

[twin perch]

actually not good unless breaker

[sharp kindle]

the video basically is positive lib pen propaganda

[twin perch]

and breaker only gets good hits cause it hits on the mouth

[clear lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/bober-kurwa-wombat-not-a-beaver-beaver-gif-8961649020872801915

Fine, i shall use the sickle only when it releases anyways

[twin perch]

Mood

I like the laser

Just think it heats too fast and doesn't deal w swarms well

[bleak patrol]

I don't need no propaganda to use it

[sharp kindle]

its a good rifle

[bleak patrol]

I've been using it since I unlocked it

I prefer it over the regular one

[twin perch]

I like the regular one for like

Everything "trash"

but the moment there is Spewer spam, I wish I had brought it

XD

I do wish it had full auto though

[bleak patrol]

Nah

I really like the burst

[twin perch]

You can burst with full auto

I just don't like Mashing M1

[bleak patrol]

That's not how burst works

[autumn talon]

full auto is just long burst

[bleak patrol]

"Yeah I do like wasting all my bullets on that one bug that is already dead"

[twin perch]

It's called trigger control

[bleak patrol]

It's called I don't care

[twin perch]

Wow me neither

Stop being such a jackoff for such little things

[autumn talon]

[bleak patrol]

You started it

[twin perch]

Brother, I just said "I wish it had full auto"

[bleak patrol]

[twin perch]

I'm literally just going to wait for 0.92 gamma at the rate the users in this discord are going

for fucks sake

[bleak patrol]

You're taking things too seriously, my dude

[clear lintel]

No fight between frens

[bleak patrol]

Frens?

Lemme check if he blocked me for no reason again

[clear lintel]

[bleak patrol]

Ey yo he didn't

I'm sorry Kosm, I was just fucking around

[twin perch]

Pyrson I think I am one of the few people who actually like you lmao

Please stop trying to change my opinion to say certain other people are "right" XD

Anyways I'm just gonna like, go work I guess

[clear lintel]

In my case

I need to sleep

I still havent

Rough night

[bleak patrol]

I honestly don't care if other people like me or not

[sharp kindle]

i just 1 tapped a titan with the rr

[twin perch]

Honestly, as long as you're not in Delights friend group you're okay

[bleak patrol]

Don't worry

I'm not

[twin perch]

Yes

Currently it's free for everyone as an extra strat

[clear lintel]

Ok so im assuming the rest will come on the 14th

[tawny herald]

[clear lintel]

Because we are still missing two, the one with the autocannons and the other one

[tawny herald]

[clear lintel]

Definitely coming on the 14th

[bleak patrol]

I want a jeep

Fuck the robots???

Damn, already nerfed from the first game

You cant deploy stratagems while on them

[shy schooner]

Could come later though

Oh yeah

You appear to have a larger aggro range

by quite a lot

[plain bough]

tested it on bug eradication

[plucky steppe]

Imagine if their last upgrade is able to resupply them

[twin perch]

Robots feel a bit insane rn still

[plain bough]

minigun seems to be med pen on it too

[twin perch]

It is med pen

[clear lintel]

Its called heavy machine gun

[twin perch]

Anyways

Still not having fun, tested it, great, ammo too limited XD

Exploded randomly without warning, so not sure

[sharp kindle]

[plain bough]

rockets are plenty, minigun ammo needs to be more

[twin perch]

Sparta, I haven't had fun w the game since the patch dropped

I don't know why

[sharp kindle]

someone remade the funny china city square copy pasta into tien kwan

[twin perch]

It's just been miserable lmao

[obsidian flame]

20k with a 50k cap
I knew they'd start doing stuff like this lol

[sharp kindle]

[twin perch]

i've mostl ybeen playing solo and it's just been incredibly awful compared to pre-patch

[sharp kindle]

maybe you are just getting burned out

[clear lintel]

Because armor fucking sucks rn

[twin perch]

I'm using med armor too

I just keep dying a ton, or pushed and surrounded

When before i just didn't

[clear lintel]

Yeah, because armor is shit

We are far weaker now

[twin perch]

😔

[sharp kindle]

[twin perch]

Would it be crazy of me to think they also tweaked enemy/patrol amount

[clear lintel]

They tweaked more stuff than they want to admit imo

[sharp kindle]

i seen this a couple times

[twin perch]

I got 5-way'd on extract

Normally it's 2 or 3

[sharp kindle]

it is possible it was not something they did purposefully

they did incressed the enemy amount and aggressiveness in extermination missions
it is possible this has spilled into the rest of the game unintended

[clear lintel]

fuck

[sharp kindle]

because holy spaghetti coding

[twin perch]

I mean solo was my "long but comfy mission with manageable amout of enemies on 5

of my friends yday, on 7 had 26 chargers and 7 biles

lol

they counted them

[sharp kindle]

on 5?

[twin perch]

7

[eager cliff]

[twin perch]

on 4 in a span of 5 minutes I've had 5 chargers

3 at once

Solo too

[sharp kindle]

[sharp kindle]

ledy since you are here

is the tianmen copy pasta against the rules

nope

[eager cliff]

[twin perch]

No

[tawny herald]

WE TAKIN BACK THE CREEK WITH THIS ONE

[twin perch]

RN it's just a good support/utility

[sharp kindle]

you can take a few titans with it

the CD is a bit long

[twin perch]

But yeah rockets are your weakness, detection range (far) and ammo

[sharp kindle]

but you can use it twice

[twin perch]

10 mins

Basically call it in when you need it and not an "always in use" kinda deal

3 titans? call mech and clean

main obj? call mech and hold

clearing secondary obj? (AA/Heavy outpost) call mech and clean

[sharp kindle]

you could call them in at the evac site at the start of the mission and get a new one mid mission

[eager cliff]

aand servers cooked

I guess the idea is for every player to hold their mechs and not use them at the same time

[twin perch]

Basically

You either use them fighting on obj

[twin perch]

or big fights

[clear lintel]

[sharp kindle]

i havent tried yet

but can the mech die ?

[clear lintel]

Yea

Goes boom

[eager cliff]

yeah it blows up i guess from missiles etc

crushed by the bile

[clear lintel]

If you get swarmed, youll explode

[sharp kindle]

seems like it can take a fair amount of damage then

[clear lintel]

Yeah it can

[twin perch]

Very easily

Regular small arms will bounce off

rockets will fuck you

mines are instantkill

And I touched an AA turret and exploded

[clear lintel]

Expected nothing less

Tbh they were weak on the first game

They served as bastions but if you didnt look at your health

You'd die

[twin perch]

||basically good utility||

they don't have HP gauge sadly

so you can't tell lol

[clear lintel]

Yeah once one of your legs starts fire

You are close

Starts fire

Lol

[sharp kindle]

best part is

[clear lintel]

I can barely talk

Im going to eep

[sharp kindle]

mechs dont take a strat slot

[clear lintel]

Cya guys later

[clear lintel]

They do

Thats because we all have them atm

So everyone can try it

[sharp kindle]

[clear lintel]

Its like when they give napalm

You can carry two napalm

So rn you can carry two mechs

For now

[eager cliff]

P0G

[clear lintel]

For now

[eager cliff]

we gotta go take creek

[clear lintel]

LMAO

[eager cliff]

before we lose them

[plain bough]

aim well and you can strip charger legs with one rocket on mechs

[eager cliff]

btw

[bleak patrol]

Yeah, I wonder what makes a mech stand out more than a smol human

[eager cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/helldivers-2-helldivers-surprised-shocked-scared-gif-14616193401603705407

this guy i think

It's General Brasch

[twin perch]

By larger I mean like, view range

[eager cliff]

and he is not a real general , he is a propaganda actor

[bleak patrol]

I'm pretty sure their voices don't match

[obsidian flame]

naw man that's just Day9

[autumn talon]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-smirk-try-not-to-laugh-gif-20026966

[autumn talon]

yeah, saw someone getting it recently and right after getting blown up by meteor title was something like "when joel hates you"

[bleak patrol]

Waiting for the meteor storm to end with my best friend

[sharp kindle]

the fren cave

[obsidian flame]

the fren rock

umbrella rock

[bleak patrol]

I still hate the meteors but I'm thankfull for all those outposts they destroy for us

And side objectives

[eager cliff]

yeah i agree

cant get my mechs because the server sepukku'd

[sharp kindle]

i wonder if its possible for a meteor shower to finish a blitz mission on its own

[bleak patrol]

I bet it is

If all the planets align

On Sunday

But the chance for it happening is not 0%

[autumn talon]

watch it says "well done diver, unfortunately the production of exosuits take some time"

[plain bough]

had meteor showers destroy multiple outposts before so might be statistically possible

[plain bough]

Good ol social forums already bitching about the mechs now

[fast spindle]

how

they just got added

[eager cliff]

WHY

[plain bough]

so far I've seen
paper mache armor against bots
too slow
not enough ammo
weapons doesn't hit hard enough

[buoyant urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/titanfall-titanfall2-titanfall-bread-cooper-jack-cooper-gif-24660089

Helldivers be like

[fast spindle]

real i guess

[tawny herald]

did the servers just die

[fast spindle]

mech should only die to rpgs or those laser cannon hulks

[plain bough]

servers acting a bit wonky atm

[buoyant urchin]

Bots do have anti armor weaponry

Maybe other divers need to cover it like an apc mech infantry

[plain bough]

they specifically complain the mechs dying to small fry bots

[buoyant urchin]

Then protect it lol

[fast spindle]

but thats the point of a mech

small arms defense with the ability to field tank sized weapons

[buoyant urchin]

They mentioned weapons/strategems have specific uses, and people can focus on heavy or chaff to be effective

[fast spindle]

with high mobility

[eager cliff]

people are re-writing the copypasta in their own language lmfao

[buoyant urchin]

I dont think the mobility thing is tru, it wasn’t super mobile in the first game. Apc is quite more mobile

[fast spindle]

still seems like throwing an AC turret and guarding it might be better instead of a mech against 90% of enemies

[plain bough]

If there was some way to resupply mechs on the field it would be nice too

[sharp kindle]

weapons dont hit hard enough

[fast spindle]

ill check if its faster than a hulk when im able to get in

[sharp kindle]

it kills a charger in 3 shots

[fast spindle]

if not they gotta buff this shit fr

[buoyant urchin]

Oh they don’t resupply?

[sharp kindle]

nope

[plain bough]

14 rockets and 1K minigun ammo

enough for a couple heavy hitters and alot of fodder

[sharp kindle]

the rockets full strip a charger leg on hit

[buoyant urchin]

Well they’re running balance based on feedback so i guess if people aren’t happy they’ll do somethin. Im happy with all their changes so far

[sharp kindle]

so its potentially 14 chargers per mech

[eager cliff]

ngl maybe only by player backpack, and it uses the whole 4 charges of backpack to refill the mech
