[eager cliff]

and maybe taking like 30-60 seconds to do it

[buoyant urchin]

Thats incredible @sharp kindle

[eager cliff]

so you have to stay still

[buoyant urchin]

But team reload

[plain bough]

probably large ammo packs for mechs in POIs and require teammates or yourself to reload the mech instead

[fast spindle]

maybe drop the mech with a resupply pack for the mech

[eager cliff]

or that yeah, to carry the ammo and install it for 30-60 seconds

[plain bough]

either way I'm enjoying the mechs

[eager cliff]

how it's not working man

[buoyant urchin]

Does the strategem recharge?

If so how long?

[plain bough]

600 seconds, 2 uses

[buoyant urchin]

Holy crap hahaha

[plain bough]

atm there's a free exo strategem so you don't need to bring it specifically into missions

[eager cliff]

[granite nest]

7 pixels

[tawny herald]

the game is not gaming

[eager cliff]

[obsidian flame]

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""only""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

[autumn talon]

well been sitting at 50k for week now so

[obsidian flame]

that only means 2 things

1. the cap is dumb
2. not everyone eats the game like you do

[autumn talon]

bitch i work 4 days in a row without even playing anything and even then i play few hours maybe on 2 nights

[obsidian flame]

and even then you're maxed out

[autumn talon]

yeah, imagine stu who was maxed out after the 2nd week

i havent even opened bond stuff lately

[bleak patrol]

To be honest

You do reach the cap quickly on higher diffs

I had 50k yesterday, spent it all on stratagems I never bothered getting, and now I'm back at the cap again

[obsidian flame]

I like how the immediate response was not to the first point I made, that the cap is dumb

[bleak patrol]

It do be kinda dumb

[bitter elk]

Ayo the mechs are already available?

[autumn talon]

yeah because i have agreed on it being dumb

[bitter elk]

Hm

Oh shit I randomly replied to random message

Lol

I see, no ship upgrade ATM I presume for it

Unsurprising they'd give mechs as soon as Kwan got liberated

Told yerz!

If yer in can ya just check real quick

Especially health section

Since if the upgrade does apply it should show the suit in the list of it

[twin perch]

Regarding cap

a good done 9 is about 4k

[autumn talon]

the mech hecking blew up for us when we got out of it

[twin perch]

if you did everything

it's probably about 8k

[autumn talon]

xp?

or req

[twin perch]

Req

XP is about 4k

3k for not even doing sec

[bitter elk]

While under fire? From what I'm aware when the mech hp hits 0% you exit automatically and then it blows up, still killing u anyway

[tranquil zealot]

are the servers back up?

[eager cliff]

ye the exo is not wow tbf

against bots its shit

[obsidian flame]

[eager cliff]

you get anti tanked to hell

[bitter elk]

How much small fire arm are you able to resist before u just die anyhow

Or I presume the rockets are ethe problem lol

In my eyes if it can last as long sentries does, that's pretty deuce already

Since it's basically a walking sentry

[twin perch]

I've said it before today lol

They're a good obj utility

[bitter elk]

But yeah it does suck that mech, an armor power fantasy doesn't last too long hm.

[twin perch]

not a perma solution

[autumn talon]

naah normally

[bitter elk]

That said

If 4 people brought it

I think it's reasonable

[granite nest]

i think something went wrong

level 0 lmao

[autumn talon]

it was fun but also a lil meh

[bitter elk]

Oh yeah I have heard that some terrain can make it angry

And boom lmao

[earnest stag]

fuck this i got no stuff agian

[twin perch]

Yeah I was about to step into an AA base

[autumn talon]

got out to reinforce and it went boom

[twin perch]

and I knew there was no mine

randomly exploded

[bitter elk]

You could say all that liberation effort really fucked the factory

[autumn talon]

same, hopefully soon

[bitter elk]

They need time to dial in the production quality

lmaoo

[autumn talon]

but done for now, back end too laggy

[twin perch]

I'm just going to hope warbond day is also a patch day

[bitter elk]

Thankfully I'm out for a couple days

[twin perch]

where they do a 2nd round of adjustments

[bitter elk]

So I can hopefully enjoy it when it's better

[twin perch]

since they've had a week of testing in live

[autumn talon]

"lemme pick this req slip up from stash

and im bugged

[bitter elk]

Probably will be yeah

[earnest stag]

for me it was 2x SC

which i didnt get

[bitter elk]

That said

[autumn talon]

oh you dont get the second one if you spam

E

[bitter elk]

It would also be nice if they just introduce a new ship module upgrade for suit and future vehicle specifically

[earnest stag]

we got none of it due server

thats what i mena

[bitter elk]

Shame the 50% health sentry doesn't apply on mechs

[earnest stag]

wasnt even able to pick up the 2nd as soon as i got stucl

[autumn talon]

oh they will come later, happened earlier and they arrived later

[earnest stag]

thats why i got stuck TWICE

[bitter elk]

Backend gaming

[autumn talon]

yeah, backend fucked

time to go drive car into zone i guess

or nap

[bitter elk]

Personally the mech is prob gonna be great for bugs use right now

Against bots it might need some adapting

[obsidian flame]

things be fucky in my game

[bitter elk]

It's too slow to avoid devastator rocket I presume

[autumn talon]

mech did 2 rocket turret

and can destroy fabs with rockets if angle good for the vent

[bitter elk]

That is gonna be so finnicky

Unless u can ads the rocket lol

[autumn talon]

thats about all i could test before it went kaput on its own

[obsidian flame]

game's very screwy right now. I can't buy the exosuit

[bitter elk]

Ah fair

[autumn talon]

no one can

but you get 1 free for mission

but dont exit it

[bitter elk]

It's free

The cons:

It's one time use

You get in you sealed your death

[autumn talon]

pretty much i guess

[bitter elk]

But yeah I think if the elite spawns is dialed in

And mech becomes a must bring that all 4 players always carry

It would be pretty damn good still

On paper.

It deffo would suck to lose one slot almost permanently though, but nyeh, MECH COOL

[twin perch]

Mech is something you use as an actual AT stratagem

Not as a vic

You basically call it in when doing objectives XD

[obsidian flame]

tricky vic

[twin perch]

Or drop-ins/bug breaks

[bitter elk]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, just basically have it on 4 player so any new obj U coming on, mech is ready for use

Bug breaks happen too often to call it IMO buuut then again, if shit getting awry I don't see why not

[twin perch]

Mind you, this is something you use to keep up, if you're already 4 hulks on your ass it's probably time (to do it behind cover)

[bitter elk]

They still need to chill on the patrol spawns imo

[twin perch]

Yeah

Patrol spawns are infuriating

[bitter elk]

Nothing sucks more than be fighting something

And oh look

20 family of hunters at the back

[twin perch]

they ramped them up really hard

[bitter elk]

cool!

[twin perch]

because some missions after doib objs and secondary/outposts

I had very clean 0 patrols

and I just walked to extract

imo patrols should be a thing that are when mission start, and not random

So killing them all is not as negative as just stealthing

if you kill them all = no patrol later

[bitter elk]

Would be nice as a start if, for some reason, patrols don't always sneak up behind you

And isn't always constantly generated tbh

Or tied to nest/fabricators

[twin perch]

yeah

[bitter elk]

The lesser they are on the map

The weaker the patrol or less often spawn

[twin perch]

if they were what determined the spawning

[obsidian flame]

well since hd2 is fucky-wucky

should I go monster huntin'

[twin perch]

CnC

[bitter elk]

Would incentivize speed killing shut

[twin perch]

Oh that's okay too

[bitter elk]

Which monster hunting is the question

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

[obsidian flame]

the entire... world

[bitter elk]

Chad choice

Though I still prefer Calico making dango on rise

So damn cute lmao.

[obsidian flame]

ah yes, Rise

aka child labor town

[bitter elk]

[autumn talon]

mech did feel ok

the machine gun sounded good and powerful, missile did ok dmg, it fast quite fast for its size

[bitter elk]

It does beg me the question to be honest, I wonder if HD2 is the kind of game where you do want a flank watcher dedicated dude

[autumn talon]

not really, just look around

[bitter elk]

Where they try to spot anything coming from the rear

True

I can't be arsed

LMAOOO

[autumn talon]

its not that hard to do a 360

[bitter elk]

Naw fam, my ass being mauled by these 3 chargers

[autumn talon]

with bugs its a lil different thing because stalkers and hunters

[bitter elk]

I still think chargers should heavily wound another

If they charge into themselves

Like shit they squish the hell outta me

But it sure feels like they do fuck all Vs their own bugs lol

[twin perch]

You do want to check your radar

and xpanded radar is really good

[bitter elk]

Oh yeah I do prioritize having radar, especially if I'm sporting scout armor

[obsidian flame]

since I'm wearing the armor that gives me a radar pulse on my pings

I'm always checking the map

[bitter elk]

Nothing like seeing radar and it's like

[twin perch]

I hope the silenced gun

[bitter elk]

PURE RED

[twin perch]

does improve stealth play

Yeah nothing like seeing "small red dots" and it's actually 5 Devastators

:)

[plain bough]

some crackhead gonna charge right into patrols regardless

[obsidian flame]

I think it's extremely dumb that Devastators are shown as small dots

while Scout Walkers are large dots

[bitter elk]

Striders are so funny of a threat once you have something like Scorcher

Just pew pew their front and they ded

[bitter elk]

I mildly wish for the day that dots show enemies cone sightline

At least when you zoom in

That and honestly raiders shouldn't be calling dropship while they haven't actually detected you physically I feel

Would feel so good to like tactically remove dem enemies cleanly

[twin perch]

Yeah they should need LoS

and not just

"I am behind the fabricator, lol fuck you"

or the moment you kill the guy flaring

the next one does it instantly

[bitter elk]

Another dude chain flares

Yep lol

Sucks

Too bad I don't think stealth part of the Helldiver is gonna get much love

Other voices are far, far, faaaar louder.

[earnest stag]

Enemies are even way tankier on higher difficulties now .....

[bleak patrol]

Me when I see a bot prepare to fire a flare

https://tenor.com/view/always-sunny-sunny-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-it's-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-devito-gif-6070683544899901781

[obsidian flame]

then the other bot behind a rock shoots a flare as soon as you take the first one out

[twin perch]

Wiat what

[plain bough]

https://tenor.com/view/another-one-and-another-one-gif-13250129

[bleak patrol]

[earnest stag]

Calling in an Eagle Strike on a Patrol as soon as they spotted and and they dont get demolished on a full hit lol

difficulty 7

[bitter elk]

I wouldn't mind if it's the same behaviour as it is now for flaring

[twin perch]

Is this another one of those, questionable balance decisions?

[bitter elk]

But we at least get access to sightline cones

[bleak patrol]

I haven't really noticed any difference on enemy tankiness

[obsidian flame]

they made enemies have more HP/armor on higher difficulty?

[bitter elk]

So we can see which enemy is seeing each other

To plan eliminationz

[earnest stag]

It was the fuckers with the chainsaw arms ... which wont die from one direct hit grenade now either

[bleak patrol]

But to be honest I'm now using a Punisher

[bitter elk]

If they do, I think it's them adjusting and testing things on the go?

[bleak patrol]

So most idiots die to one shot anyway

And I love how the Punisher can stunlock a Devastator

[plain bough]

Anyone else think patrols keep spawning like super close to you everytime a battle breaks out now

[bitter elk]

Less that and more of the fact that patrol usually doesn't get activated until they see you really up close

[earnest stag]

nothing against @autumn talon but he dropped us right in a small thing with mines and a few enemies

[bitter elk]

Which leads to the really dumb ways of how patrol can sneak up

And then suddenly they behind u before engaging

Thing is it's just the way patrol spawn atm

[bleak patrol]

Not really

[bitter elk]

Is kinda oof lol

[bleak patrol]

Yesterday I had a patrol spawn directly on me, but that's it

[autumn talon]

i cant know what there when we drop

[twin perch]

Yes

[bleak patrol]

What I find interesting is that every time the mission reaches the halfway point in terms of time, there's a brief moment of absolute silence

[autumn talon]

i was half on a mine

[twin perch]

and there's more enemies

[earnest stag]

i know but it was funny

[twin perch]

since patch

[bitter elk]

Me bringing both incendiary and anti personnel mines fully knowing I'm about to lead the score board on accidentals

[plain bough]

patrols should be tied to mission outposts/bug holes for realsies

[bitter elk]

DEATH BY FF BAYBEEEEE

[earnest stag]

i have only one thing to say....

[bleak patrol]

You trying to overtake me in terms of accidentals?

[earnest stag]

dont bring clusters against bots

[twin perch]

That bad?

[earnest stag]

its useless

[bleak patrol]

I'm gonna bomb my fren more often now

[autumn talon]

last night we dropped next to a little tower and as soon as we threw strats game crashed

[earnest stag]

worse than before

[twin perch]

I thought clusters were goated... damn

[bitter elk]

I bring flamethrower, Tesla tower and both mines

Yes, yes I am

[twin perch]

Nooo

[bleak patrol]

Ok, so

[bitter elk]

LMAO

[bleak patrol]

Clusters went from

Useless to goated to useless

[twin perch]

Well, I guess 120mm barrage is our new ruler

[bitter elk]

Long live the king

[earnest stag]

Clusters were always fucked cause alwas when ive seen a cluster strike it was KILLING ME

[bitter elk]

pushed cluster off cliff

[bleak patrol]

I'm still gonna use the Cluster because I don't believe anything anyone says until I see it

[autumn talon]

played too much pre patch bugs so forgot that it sucks against bots

[obsidian flame]

I've used clusters against bugs and they were working fine until last night

[bleak patrol]

I mean yeah

I used the Cluster yesterday on bots

[bitter elk]

What's going on with this trippin changes lol

[bleak patrol]

And it worked fine

So I dunno

[bitter elk]

Did cluster accidentally got nerfed

Lol

[earnest stag]

Cluster works against the small fuckers but ..... since patrols are now more consistent with the bigger ones.

[bitter elk]

These days Vs bots I just bring napalm anyway

For better reliability and dot

[bleak patrol]

I more or less know which stratagem to use on what

[earnest stag]

Im pureley about bots rn

sincee armor

[bleak patrol]

Cluster was always a small guy deleter for me

[bitter elk]

Cluster is the anti flare shizzle

Fuck y'all raiders

[bleak patrol]

Rockets for tanks and turrets

[earnest stag]

i think i run the recoilles again even

im annoyed by the rail

[bleak patrol]

Rail is fine

You just need to think now

[bitter elk]

I just dunno what triggers them to be alert and active as soon as a stratagem ball lands near them

Is it LoS of the ball, or proximity or sound

[bleak patrol]

You can't just Safe Mode your way through a mission

[bitter elk]

Very inconvenient

[bleak patrol]

I now swapped to a GL when I play with a fren

[earnest stag]

Unsafe 5 hits on a hulk ..... diff 7

[twin perch]

Clusters for me is deleting patrols and or bug chokepoints

effective until like

Brood commanders

[bleak patrol]

No

[earnest stag]

yes

[bitter elk]

Brood commander just takes em legs away

[earnest stag]

when you cant hit head

[bleak patrol]

No it doesn't

[bitter elk]

I almost feel bad about em

[bleak patrol]

Oh, when you have a skill issue then yes

[earnest stag]

i couldnt hit his head with all the small fry shooting at me

3 patrols iirc

[bleak patrol]

I didn't have any issues with using the Railgun post patch

I just count to 3 and fire

[bitter elk]

I'd bring shield relay personally when Vs bots, I love the occasional breathing room

Every 75 sec base cd

Doesn't do a whole lot when you're extremely swarmed

But it does relieve pressure ever so slightly

[bleak patrol]

The only thing I find about the new railgun is that walkers now need unsafe mode to one tap them as well

[bitter elk]

Yeah nah I just bring Scorcher when I'm doing bots lol

Fuck investing any other resources to deal with them

The striders I mean

[bleak patrol]

I'm currently using

Uh

[bitter elk]

Slugger?

Cuz that shit good too fr

[twin perch]

Yeah this is really annoying

Walker armor is really strong unironically lol

[bleak patrol]

Punisher, Peacemaker, Impact
Airstrike, Rockets, GL/Rail, Jump Pack

[twin perch]

3 anti material shots, 2 autocanons if not at base, etc

[bitter elk]

Slugger can funny enough three shot a strider if you aim for the hip of the strider

Sadly it glances off if you off angle

[bleak patrol]

I remember when I thought Eagles were useless when I started playing

Because I didn't know they can re-arm

[twin perch]

I like using the Plasma as a primary rn

because I can at least deal with Walkers in 2-3 shots

[bleak patrol]

So I just looked at it and was like "Just two uses? Nah."

[bitter elk]

I just find it funny they have all these metal used for droid making

And they can't spare a little more to cover the tiny forehead peaking above the armor lmao

[bleak patrol]

They can't spare a bit more to have an actual cockpit

[bitter elk]

Imagine if Kwan didn't got liberated

And walkers upgrades to exosuit users

[bleak patrol]

Finally, a worthy opponent

[raw folio]

[bitter elk]

[bitter elk]

Which one is plasma again

But yeah it's a darn shame mech aren't attributed to any upgrades on arrival

I also find it odd only one pair is dropped, while the other with dual MG ain't here yet

Then again arrowhead plans are a complete enigma

Hard to predict their plans outside warbond every 14th

[plain bough]

Tier 10 warbond gun, Scorcher

[twin perch]

Last one of Warbonds

They have the "Vehicle" Attribute

Which noe of the current upgrades "work on"

so we probably get another set for Vehicles/Mechs

[eager cliff]

yeah so far the mechs are meh, they need an overhaul which i think will come with the upgrades

[bitter elk]

Oh right yeah that's what I call it, scorcher

[eager cliff]

maybe they give it shield upgrade , armor upgrade etc

jetpack

[bitter elk]

Scorcher is defo a dank weapon

[eager cliff]

maybe a sword or flamethrower

[bitter elk]

Just for the fact it's a primary that easily deals with striders

[obsidian flame]

that's not what "you" call it, it's literally the weapon's name

[bitter elk]

SHUSH

[bitter elk]

Yeah eventually they will give some upgrades I'm sure in modules

If I remember correctly I did see something like

A mech walker with shield on it

On one of the leaks

Now that you mention it

Y'all should try using mech while having the shield backpack, see if it passes to the mech lol

[autumn talon]

naah i have 2 shotted hulk on safe

[bitter elk]

To the eyes?

[earnest stag]

#🤖🐛🦑helldivers message

[bitter elk]

Not bad I guess

[autumn talon]

the tiny glowy head still sucks

[bitter elk]

For consistency

I kinda wish the reticle

Wasn't SO DAMN THICC

[earnest stag]

try that again like later where we got shot all the time

i needed 5 hits

i couldnt aim

[eager cliff]

the cooldown is so long for the mech idk

[autumn talon]

same

and now it richocets

[earnest stag]

thats btw when you have a shieldpack on and get into the mech

[autumn talon]

so its makes you mad

[bitter elk]

It is, but I think they are balancing it in the assumption that you are using it with 3 others also carrying it

[earnest stag]

yeah i hate it

[autumn talon]

but last night did 2 dink hulk in the eye with safe

[bitter elk]

So that means one can be easily summoned on objective arrival

And a couple stragglers for

"shit hit the fan" scrnarios

[autumn talon]

but rusty af because no playing in days

[eager cliff]

well....yeah but still 15 minutes and uses 1 strategem slot

i dont see it being worth it

[bitter elk]

I think it would shine and be worth more for that much of a sacrifice once modules come in

Sentries, as someone who love them to death, are Garbo before full upgrades as well

So I'm sure mechs are in the same position

[twin perch]

Yeah Sentries really pop off w upgrades

they go with

"really that's it"

to "murder death kill"

[earnest stag]

imagine a "fast manifacture" upgrade that halfs the cooldown

[bitter elk]

So im holding out on trust that mechs are just lacking

[twin perch]

mind you it takes 2 upgrades trees for it lol

[bitter elk]

The upgrades they nee

Need*

[twin perch]

Yeah

[bitter elk]

Once those comes in, we can decide again

[twin perch]

Hopefully we get 6~ upgrades for them

[bitter elk]

At least some form of armor upgrade like penetration resistance would be nice

[eager cliff]

mechs should have their own loadout imo

[bitter elk]

So we don't get engulfed in fire from small arms fire lol

[eager cliff]

like 4 slots of different stuff for different missions

[twin perch]

I thought small arms bounced off

that what it felt like

[bitter elk]

Oh I couldn't say, i ain't playing for a couple of days

[twin perch]

Probably something like "MAIN" EXtra and weapons

[bitter elk]

I'm drawing off people observations

[earnest stag]

you ass now ive got a picture in my head of a bug throwing its arms at the mech

[twin perch]

Personally I felt all small arms bounced off

and then I exploded randomly

[bitter elk]

You mean to say a section of their own? That is a drastic power to be granted to the players IMO

I mean I would love it myself but I don't foresee the Devs ever doin that

[twin perch]

so Id on't know

no smokey or anything

[bitter elk]

Inb4

"Oh guys armor doesn't work properly for mechs ATM!"

Community gets hyped because it means that it's just gonna get better
Patch day comes
"Mech armor fixed!"
mech is now somehow twice as worse than before

[eager cliff]

Main Weapon - Minigun , Laser, Plasma gun , Melee weapon such as teh Hulk Hacksaw / A sword or Hammer idk

Secondary - Rockets , Flame , Mortar , EMP Grenades etc.

3rd Slot Upgrades - Extra armor against ballisticks , Extra reactive armor against explosions , Shield etc.

4th Utility Slot - Extra Ammo , Jump Pack , Catapult ( and you actually throw strategem ball further and faster )

And one upgrade in the ship should be Emergency Ejection which throws you out before teh mech explodes .

Copium btw

[twin perch]

"you see guys, heavy armor is AP3, bots default is AP 4"

[bitter elk]

I mean yeah it would feel extremely bad if the mech fell off to light attack like raiders rifles or scavenger bugs (fuck hunters)

[bitter elk]

😭

[bitter elk]

We going full Titanfall with this one

But yeah sadly much copium...

[eager cliff]

Well for 15 minutes it should be

[bitter elk]

🫠

[eager cliff]

💀

[bitter elk]

I still don't know why they holding back

The other variant

With twin MGs

I was fully expecting both to be dropped in

But yeah hopefully the upgrade ship modules come soon, like on warbond day

Maybe they holding the upgrades back to check balancing feedback from players

And adjust the modules appropriately

Would be the best course of action

Discord Helldiver 2 be like

"the real problem right now is that the bots and the bugs are so different that I honestly despair of their ability to balance both. so I support making them a bit more similar, e.g. more melee bots (melee suicider maybe?) and more ranged bugs"

[eager cliff]

Haha and it seems to be bugged yeah, apparently stepping on the spores still damage you pretty good

And it also explodes the hellbombs if you get too close lmao

[bitter elk]

Dude hates the faction for being too different?

🫠

[eager cliff]

dumbfuck

[twin perch]

Dumbfuck

[eager cliff]

why

[twin perch]

imagine ranged hunters

[bitter elk]

Literally brain rot

[twin perch]

they already exists

[bitter elk]

Bruh

[obsidian flame]

I think this may be why they're holding back the other exosuit variants

[twin perch]

Green Scavengers

[obsidian flame]

fuck no

also the bots already have melee suiciders

[bitter elk]

Their backend already exploded

Might as well go for broke

And release both

Servers down till next month

[bitter elk]

It shows that he didn't play on D7+ difficulties

Jetpack Bois are VERY common up there

[obsidian flame]

yeah

dude acting like balancing 2 enemy factions is impossible

meanwhile helldivers 1 with 3 factions

[bitter elk]

TBF you are one giant metal ass haha

Wait

You don't mean like it triggers to just go

booooom

True definition of "you are going down with me mf"

[plain bough]

I'd take suicide bombing jetpack bots over bile spewers acting as artillery

[bitter elk]

The annoyance with bile spewers is that they are tanky as hell if you don't have any explosive weaponry NGL lol

Well not too tanky but enough to be a fair amount of annoyance

It's right below hunter hate list for me

I despise jet pack Bois due to the fact that they are very aggressive at pushing you out of cover

Tho yeah easily dealt with

[plain bough]

also the bots having better jetpacks than we do is lmao

[bitter elk]

Jetpack having cooldown is sadge

And barely any verticality lol

[sharp kindle]

leappack

[earnest stag]

For now

Helldivers 3 and we stole their Jetpacks

[twin perch]

What's really funny about this

Is that their allies will shoot them as they land infront of you

and basically kill you both

[obsidian flame]

yup

[plain bough]

gotta ensure that helldivers die

[obsidian flame]

it's hilarious how much friendly fire the bots do

the one with the automatic gun is like

a fallout 1-2 player using burst fire weapons

[plain bough]

Critical damage: 500

kill everyone in the room including your allies

reload save
kill only your allies and no enemies

[bitter elk]

Oh that's cute

The rover drones park on your mech back

When you go inside lmao

Shame they don't do nuthin though

[buoyant urchin]

Im watching bots walk all over their own mines. Also, you can throw grenades back!

[bitter elk]

Oh wait

Mechs does have their shield when we have a shield backpack

I'm just watching people using it

Though it barely covers the main body lol

[autumn talon]

no its the shield backpack poking through

[bitter elk]

Wonder if it can help mitigate some ranged damage

Though that said your other extremities of the mech is still rip lol

Who needs vehicles anyway

[earnest stag]

Nobody reads what i write

Its not like i posted that earlier

Oh fam TBF I'm on phone, I miss shit LMAOO

Also its like 5 am here why am I awake

[earnest stag]

Its a sarcastic insider on this server

[bitter elk]

🫠

[earnest stag]

that nobody reads my shit despite it being the truth

[bitter elk]

It's like that scout skill of being hard to notice

You just have that irl

[winged dew]

it was you! 🫵

[earnest stag]

[bitter elk]

I do wonder if the mechs were supposed to be one and the same

[earnest stag]

Are servers working properly again ?

[hallow rain]

couple minutes ago they weren't

[bitter elk]

By that I mean the dual minigun variant is just the patriot exosuit but with it's loadout changed

[earnest stag]

Yeah that would be interesting

i would hate it if they introduce 3 or 4 different ones

[bitter elk]

Like potentially loadout system like what bird wants

Cuz if u think about it

[earnest stag]

i could call in multiple suits if they wont make a loadout

[bitter elk]

It'd be kinda nonsense to have multiple variant cuz people can then just

Bring both

[earnest stag]

Yep

[bitter elk]

Inb4 it's like the eagle

Both goes on cooldown when one is called

L o l

[earnest stag]

lel

I wonder when the LAV hits

[bitter elk]

Nyeh, we got a week to play with this one for now I suppose

[earnest stag]

and if they bring tanks

[bitter elk]

See what they have in store when warbond hits

[earnest stag]

and thanks then i go to bed

[bitter elk]

If tank is ever in I wager it won't be a stratagem, but a map POI sub objective

Something something do these things, you get tank

Sorta deal

[earnest stag]

like the arty on the map

[bitter elk]

Cuz ain't no way they allow 4 players bring their own tanks

Yeah basically

[earnest stag]

save the garage,input some codes,wait for elevator

TANK

[bitter elk]

Rather than a tank, I prefer surface to air missile vehicles imo

FUCK EM DROPSHIPS UP

[earnest stag]

4 seats, Driver,Gunner,2 support MG

[bitter elk]

Inb4 struck by meteors die in one hit

Sadge

[hallow rain]

Just comically bounce the space rocks

[bitter elk]

Mf tanks got that marvel metal

Forgot the name lol

[hallow rain]

plot armor

[bitter elk]

Kek

[earnest stag]

Well see soon what happens.

I hope they unfuck it

It was good as it was

[bitter elk]

What is?

Also do we have a heavy variant of uh

Stim passive armor yet

I know we got light and medium but none heavy ATM ain't it?

[earnest stag]

everything was good as it was

they should have left armor also how it was

[bitter elk]

Oh you mean general state of the game lol

[earnest stag]

nope

Balancing,damage etc yes

[bitter elk]

Yeah surviving is a bit rough yeah with how armor works atm

[earnest stag]

Before when it was broken it felt just right.Now that its fixed it feels broken lol

[bitter elk]

I feel like I still die as often with heavy since I just don't have the speed to run away as far and as often with light armor

[twin perch]

@clear lintel how did tanks work in HD1

[bitter elk]

Like, current best in my eyes is like

The light armor with extra padding

That is basically pre patch armor

As it was that we had

The speed and the survivability

[earnest stag]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5Ge-tizL_k&ab_channel=cusman

like that

i played HD 1 too

did i never mention that ?

[twin perch]

Non

[earnest stag]

i forgot there was even a repair tool

Flumi was just for 6 minutes non stop cute

[twin perch]

6 minutes of cuddling

[earnest stag]

Yep

When Mama left,he left too

I should follow

So i will go to bed and i hope HD2 works tomorrow

[obsidian flame]

servers still fucked?

[twin perch]

Probs

[pale hollow]

The servers feel a little like this at the moment: ➡️ ⬇️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬅️ ⬇️ ⬇️

[obsidian flame]

'yes' would've saved you so many keystrokes and seconds

and I would've been able to understand it

[eager cliff]

servers feel very Railgun ?

[obsidian flame]

that's not the railgun

but I don't know what that is

guessing it's the Exosuit stratagem input

[clear lintel]

Pilestedt tried a high diff

there it is

peak unsafe gaming

[obsidian flame]

WOO

but I'm not sure about that 'moment or two' when it hits 100

[twin perch]

Me neither honestlyt

I feel the moment it hits 100 it blows

[hallow rain]

That's the "moment" vs the two, probably

[obsidian flame]

[obsidian flame]

same

if the gauge hits the top it's kablooey

[twin perch]

if it had a ding noice for releasing it would be nice tho

[obsidian flame]

As soon as I see the extra sparky effect at the barrel I let it go

[buoyant urchin]

Kinda like Arcgun has

[twin perch]

Tigers in the mud moment

[obsidian flame]

even though they're automatons that's kinda realistic

tanks' viewports are fuckin awful

[plain bough]

Damn, hate completing missions and it glitches without giving me my rewards

[pale hollow]

The servers are giga-fucked right now.
Basically don't play until in a few hours.

Most of em have armoured shells, you need AP

AP-HE, got it

[light nymph]

APFSDS

Also, the shell type your looking for is HEAT

[twin perch]

Tandem warheads?

I barely know her!

[sharp kindle]

warthunder player moment

[bitter elk]

I would prefer it if there's a very noticeable audio cue by the time it hits 95% to be honest

So we can use that as auditory guide to getting the timing right

At 100% you might as well be dead because that 'moment' is like

A split second lol

[late dagger]

is the game bugged for anyone?

[tawny herald]

are the servers fixed?

[late dagger]

idk

im having trouble connecting

i thought they said the medals were distributed?

[obsidian flame]

for the major order before the Tian Kwen liberation, yes

[sharp kindle]

they are rather slow on this tbf

[fast spindle]

@twin perch these mechs are worse than paper

wtf

accidentally hit it with a slugger and it died

[sharp kindle]

with what you own rocket ?

[fast spindle]

no a shotgun

[sharp kindle]

ah

[fast spindle]

it got a hit a little bit by the tiny bugs but surely that isnt that much

[sharp kindle]

yeah something else had to have happen becuse mechs can take a few hits from chargers

[buoyant urchin]

They hit an exposed hydraulic tube

[sharp kindle]

or like 12 hive guards

i wouldnt expect the mechs to tank titans or spewers

[obsidian flame]

game still fucked?

do we still have no major order?

[hallow rain]

Joel is on smoko

[bitter elk]

Combination of it coming into the weekend, and mech releasing, and time zone waking up

It's basically a one two punch combo

To the servers lmao

[bitter elk]

They are pretty fragile tbh for sure but deffo should be able to take some hits

Might be combination of it being fucky with terrains

[sharp kindle]

They are also pretty strong

Even while frail

[latent zodiac]

still no 95 medals from previous 2 orders

i NEED the jar 5

[sharp kindle]

Don't bank your hopes on it

[obsidian flame]

I got the medals from the Heeth+Angel's Venture order, but not from liberating Tien Kwan yet

[latent zodiac]

yeah ik
i just like the idea of them just looking at the bolter and being like "lmao, that ideas mine now"

[latent zodiac]

i haven't gotten either

[obsidian flame]

[latent zodiac]

its rough out there stacking up medals
you either go D7 or above and risk getting in a "squad" of only one other guy and getting your teeth kicked in
or 4-6 again, and again, and again, and again, and again...

[obsidian flame]

I prefer the slow and steady method

If you fail, you just wasted 10~40 mins for zero medals

[latent zodiac]

true, but i remember getting that one fucking amazing ass random squad i droped with on like, 7 or 8, and we repeatedly 100% that shit as well as getting super and rare samples out the ass
i'll probably drop 5-6 from now on till spawns and some other weapons are tweaked

[tawny herald]

[obsidian flame]

[obsidian flame]

good times had by all

I avoid playing on open sessions because I don't want to risk trolls ruining my runs lol

[latent zodiac]

haven't had a single troll or jackass yet, and i hope it stays that way
just a few goobers throwin mines down without sayin or throwing orbitals without a warning
which i can absolutely understand without a mic, its all in good fun

[tawny herald]

Bulldozer from payday 2 and dollar store master chief

[obsidian flame]

I've met enough trolls in other co-op games that I'd rather just... not.

[fast spindle]

i wish it wasnt a single use thing

[latent zodiac]

i remember Squads sandbox/playground servers hosted on jensens before ICO came out

[fast spindle]

it says 2 on the damn stratagem page

[clear lintel]

Yeah, because you can deploy two

[tawny herald]

the one that u choose as a strat is 2 use tho

the other one thats available to everyone is single use

[clear lintel]

Lyrics go hard

[obsidian flame]

fanmade song?

[bleak patrol]

Listen guys

I've unlocked Rock, Paper, Scissors

I've beaten the game

[obsidian flame]

I'm almost unlocking it as well

the true endgame

[clear lintel]

What no

Its the super earth anthem

Also

The mech is level 25

lol

[obsidian flame]

wut

link pls

[clear lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leAKjgWVz2c

[bitter elk]

Yeah if accompanied with methods of guarding them with infantry or just stratagem like EMS or shield relay, it's without a doubt gonna be a cornerstone of defense or offense for some objectives

I'm not certain if they can one shot dropship engines though

[bitter elk]

EOD suit is pretty nice to survive some scuffle when U get ragdolled by charger into a bunch of smaller boys

Tho I still wish there's a heavy variant of stim passive one

[bitter elk]

Also to not mention, we still don't have the upgrade modules of vehicles category yet

If and when those accompanies us eventually (god knows when though), I'm sure it'd be even better then

Hopefully by warbond release perhaps? Hopefully lol

[plucky steppe]

Jonathan Angelic circle

[fast spindle]

thats more like a green scout trooper

[obsidian flame]

so... a fanmade song lol

[bitter elk]

The way to buff mech is simple

Plant Ur teammate on top of it and have it be your local life destroyer

Pepperin anything that might be a threat from distant kek

Bonus point of them drawing fire to them

Also

I'm happy mech got released so people can now move on to complaining about mechs endlessly

At least it's something new

[bleak patrol]

People are complaining about mechs?

[plucky steppe]

mostly the armor

[bleak patrol]

I see no issues

[plucky steppe]

even though it can deflect smallarms fire

[bleak patrol]

The only real complaint I have is that I don't know how much health it has left

So I just

Die

[clear lintel]

What do you mean fanmade... Its from the ost of the game

[obsidian flame]

oh? I couldn't find it 😐

[sharp kindle]

ppl see the mechs as if it was a modern tank
impervious to damage

when in reality they are a toyota with a big fuck off gun

[bleak patrol]

They don't even look like they are that armored to be honest

I honestly expected them to die to 1 or 2 rockets anyway

[clear lintel]

It plays on the super earth raise flag side objective

[bleak patrol]

Today I went on Helldivers for the weirdest reason so far
I just listened to Jetpack Joyride theme and wanted to use the Jump Pack while the theme played in the background

[obsidian flame]

oooh. Never saw that one.

[obsidian flame]

now I want them to add bicycles and I want to ride one while listening to Queen's "Bicycle Race"

[bleak patrol]

Will motorbike be good enough?

Although the thought of a Helldiver just zooming around the battlefield on a bicycle seems hilarious to me

[obsidian flame]

no

[tawny herald]

Toyota trucks are more durable tho

[sharp kindle]

fair

its a GM truck

[slim coral]

wouldn't it be funny if you can activate a Strategem on your hand

so you are literally a mobile Orbital strike beacon

[bitter elk]

If bikes were ever in the game

Death by impact from ragdolling gonna skyrocket

To 500x the rate

[slim coral]

the terrain is gonna make bike funny

[clear lintel]

@sharp kindle

[limber bluff]

What loadout is good for suicide mission automaton

[bleak patrol]

[limber bluff]

All I can think of is railgun w/ shield and that still doesn’t help

[slim coral]

When I am trying to stealth through a charger but my Drone laser the Charger

[limber bluff]

I’m getting my ass shot at by 4 rocket devastaters

[sharp kindle]

[clear lintel]

Eagle rocket pod

Or cluster

[bitter elk]

Sadly game doesn't really allow that, any offensive variant of stratagems (ones with red beams) lock on to where they were first initiated on

[clear lintel]

Or airstrike

[limber bluff]

I use em

[bitter elk]

Because you can by technicality carry a beacon

By slapping one on a teammate sgield

Shield*

[limber bluff]

I just need a gun that can actually help me on suicide mission

[clear lintel]

Yeah if there are 4 rocket devastators, you should seek cover or not engage

And wait until the stratagems kills them

[slim coral]

I remembered accidentally killed 2 people when I shot a grenade onto a Scavenger

and the grenade bounced to my 2 teammates

[bitter elk]

Yeah GL ricochet can be devastating sometimes NGL lol

[slim coral]

Gl my beloved

shit is op

especially for a low rank it takes to unlock

[bitter elk]

Makes short work of the next annoying bug after charger and hunter

[clear lintel]

And there was a fifth, its in the right side but I couldnt take a picture of him

[bitter elk]

Bile spewers

[slim coral]

I hate the Bile Spewer

they 1 shot you sometimes

[bitter elk]

The thing about them is they are also really tanky too

So it's quite a mess to dispatch them out

[clear lintel]

Sometimes?

They one shot you

[slim coral]

I remember first time seeing it and I literally ragdoll as they start spewing

[clear lintel]

lol

Pretty sure i never survived their spit

[slim coral]

I know but you have to stand still for like 3 seconds to die

mine? they just opened their mouth and I ragdolled

[bitter elk]

Yeah nades are best way to deal with them, but being in a terminid area and all

A lot of things want nades sometimes

[bleak patrol]

5 fucking Chargers

"Holy Shit"
-Helldiver

[slim coral]

Running from a horde of 3 Spewer, 2 Stalkers and 1 Charger

and random terminid bit you so you got slowed debuff

[bitter elk]

AFAIK isn't it only hunter that have the exclusive melee slowdown?

Fuckin annoying nonetheless NGL lmai

Lmao

[slim coral]

yeh but starting from Diff 5

they spawn everywhere

and once I am slowed the stalker works me so quickly that it's not possible to run

[bitter elk]

Yeah whenever a fight happens I look for the hunter first always

Cause running away is a bitch

If they are in play lol

The worst is when a patrol full of them

Sneaks up behind you

Mid fight

[slim coral]

Running away from Charger and got slowed down by a random ball on the ground

[clear lintel]

Literally me

[bitter elk]

Once we master the use of mech more appropriately it probably won't be so hard

Hopefully

[bleak patrol]

My friend and I usually save the mechs until extraction

Makes it much easier to not get slapped

[bitter elk]

Hm, dont try to pop one for each objective? Specifically ones with guaranteed hostile waves like the mining excavations one

But yeah 4 mech at the end

Is definitely a guaranteed win almost

[bleak patrol]

We used the free ones today

[bitter elk]

Ah fair

[bleak patrol]

I saw that the ones you unlock have 2 uses

But the free ones are one per person

But it also depends on the mission

We do pop them almost immediatelly on Blitz

Now that I think about it, we did try to avoid Eradication today

Maybe it wouldn't be that bad with mechs

[bitter elk]

Yeah I'm just kinda assuming that we basically gonna rock a perma one slot for dedicated mech bringing

Might be the highest chance of mission success in general

[bleak patrol]

I still want to see more vehicles, APC and buggy/jeep in particular

[bitter elk]

I have high doubts

Eradication is giga intense now ngl

[bleak patrol]

We saw it

@clear lintel had the misfortune of joining us on Diff 7 Eradication

[bitter elk]

Wooo boi

LMAO

[bleak patrol]

But we did it
