Tbf, the devs say they don't care about meta but the first game had a very strong meta regardless

[heavy heart]

Kinda tempted to go back to the strafing run, it's pattern is just great for deleting a column of trash

[clear lintel]

Sometimes they will not buff

[bitter elk]

Gas works best when combo'ed with EMS

Oh and would you look at that

They share the same CD too!

75 sec base c:

[clear lintel]

They didn't buff the mechs even though people asked them continuously for 10 yeaes

Yea

Just wait until we get MK2 and MK3 versions of stratagems

[bitter elk]

pretty nice to give your allies a breathing room

while still killing

with gas

[bitter elk]

the CEO seems based

just some of the devs is

yeah

mods and CMs included, in the discord lol

[clear lintel]

The CEO is cool

[bitter elk]

yeah its not the best but its simplicity is pretty nice

kinda wish it had more charges though

[heavy heart]

Yeah, or perhaps it got a shorter "main" reload,

[clear lintel]

But the general idea is that they don't buff most stuff. Of course, this fact should change now they have hundreds of thousands of people playing and it's a proper live service game

[heavy heart]

it's just great for dumping danger close for clearing breathing room, typically folks I play with take stuff for dealing with bigger threats, so just something to speed through trash

[bitter elk]

starts new game

forgets to bring AC for testing

[clear lintel]

@bitter elkMind sending your steam?

[obsidian flame]

Gas is better than napalm if you drop it exactly at a bug breach/bot drop
smaller area, yes, but these enemy spawns are concentrated. This way you don't deny yourself too much space to maneuver

also Imma call press X to doubt on that AC oneshots chargers. Unless it's an unintended consequence of today's patch nerfing its head

AC doesn't even oneshot bile spewers

[tawny herald]

I only use gas because I only want 500kgs on my eagle

PA PA PAPAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

PAM PAM

[clear lintel]

It isnt as good as the first game so

[obsidian flame]

[twin perch]

Wdym I don't have to fight for my life for 4 minutes

that sucks

Holding objs vs overwhelming numbers and dropping strikes left and right is the most fun part

[clear lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtKg42Q5KWY This is god tier

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJEhexJWSm0

[sharp kindle]

Being honest
The helldivers 1 ost is
Pretty generic

[clear lintel]

It has another feel to the game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEtwaDPxqB0 I still want something like this in HD2 1:46

[sharp kindle]

If it wasn't 30s loops

[tawny herald]

the guy dying in the first 3 seconds after dropping

[hybrid onyx]

That Jin Roh armor looks clean

Can’t wait for 14th

[hybrid onyx]

I already saved up enough for the new warbond

[tawny herald]

I wonder why I've never heard of the first game before hd2, it looks fun

[eager cliff]

same, rip servers

[clear lintel]

because it was pretty niche

I played it but none of my friends which love coop games played it

[plain bough]

Still suffering from a bug crashing me everytime I access the war map so uh, thats nice

[hybrid onyx]

Have you seen the quad auto cannon exosuit? Sheesh

[eager cliff]

i saw a bit yeah + mech customisation

[clear lintel]

Like

[tawny herald]

u mean this ?

[hybrid onyx]

Armor customization too so I can swap out colors

[sharp kindle]

Micro niche

[clear lintel]

Yeah, not even niche

[tawny herald]

jesus

[clear lintel]

The AC mech has 75 ammo on each cannon

[twin perch]

Good medium breaker

[tawny herald]

underrated gem imo, just from watching like 2 minutes of gameplay

[clear lintel]

Yea hd1 was amazing

[hybrid onyx]

If it’s got armor pen like the auto cannon sentry then it can be top tier

[clear lintel]

The terminid boss in the first game

[clear lintel]

[sharp kindle]

Eat17/rr buffs make my day

[hybrid epoch]

The terminid what now????

[clear lintel]

Each enemy faction had a special boss

[clear lintel]

Usually in the first game the meta way to kill them was using mines

@tawny herald

Thats the sickle in the first game

[tawny herald]

the cases ejecting from the autocannons

[eager cliff]

tarkov ash 12 vibes

[tawny herald]

and its a pile of garbage in hd2

[clear lintel]

Yeah it seems it wont be useful

They dont like laser weapons in the second game it seems

[clear lintel]

I guess they are traumatized after they dominated the first game

[eager cliff]

they might change that but i guess they want to take it step by step

[clear lintel]

I hope they do

[hybrid onyx]

Makes sense cuz the patriot is about as tanky as a locust

[clear lintel]

But im not complaining that much in general

Im so happy a 2nd game released

For a long time we thought we'd never get another one

[sharp kindle]

And as fast as a ac20 urbi

[lost grail]

That is more of a dreadnought and urbanmech combo

No, I still view contemptor as canon

[twin perch]

Sounds about right

[lost grail]

Fuck you GW

[twin perch]

SRM Locust

[tawny herald]

this

[sharp kindle]

Mantis

[twin perch]

Mantis good

[tawny herald]

at least it had a shield so it was actually tanky

the hd2 mech looks like a fat version of it

[twin perch]

The ur mom version

[tawny herald]

[hybrid onyx]

All the different variants of the breaker that’s gonna be added

The breaker meta never truly went away

[bitter elk]

kinda loses the jank funny of having just a png image of charger behind the laptop

lmao

[tawny herald]

Breaker is still top 3 primary gun

[twin perch]

I want a mouth hitbox on charger

so I can fucking blast that bitch in it's fugly mouth

Slugg it

[bitter elk]

ngl half the time when i see my randoms start engaging in unnecessary fights (fighting patrols middle of nowhere with no objective nearby)

i just peace out

[tawny herald]

btw when are the vehicles coming?

[bitter elk]

and run solo whatever objective there is

[tawny herald]

when I played with a modder the totallynotawarthog was almost game-ready

[bitter elk]

Only for D7 and above though

On D5 and such I just vibe with whatever the host doin

[bitter elk]

Unsure

[tawny herald]

[bitter elk]

This is the first of many releases so we have no precedent

Of how they will release new stuff

[twin perch]

tryhard

[bitter elk]

[bleak patrol]

Not very democratic of you

[bitter elk]

Hey what I can do

[bleak patrol]

Kill

[bitter elk]

I blink my eyes and I'm suddenly not with them

That said if I'm feeling like killing things I bring sentries, nothing like seeing the satisfaction of seeing kills combo racked up

With sentries

Or randomly walking and getting combo kills

Cuz Ur left behind sentry still shooting patrols

[tawny herald]

if they spot the patrol and hover over them u can hold Q and your character will say "dont need it'' or smth like that, they usually dont engage when I do that

[bitter elk]

By the time I ping they alr engage

[tawny herald]

nvm then

[bitter elk]

But yeah it's mildly funny how people still don't learn not to stay nearby active turrets or at least avoid it's shooting LOS

[bleak patrol]

They are true patriots

[bitter elk]

Everytime I bring sentries I'm guaranteed at least one accidental

And this isn't even the mortar

I stopped bringing mortar cause of sheer FF it can do, and that's valid

[bleak patrol]

I haven't brought a sentry in a long time

[bitter elk]

Because bugs keep kissing you anyway

[tawny herald]

at least its not the minefields

[bleak patrol]

Mortar on bugs

[bitter elk]

Lol minefields are like

[bleak patrol]

You're just asking for a wipe

[bitter elk]

Omega ass rn for anything beyond small enemies

And medium that dies slides their corpse forward

And destroy like 10 more mines with it

🫠

[bleak patrol]

Advanced Minefield Disposal

[hybrid onyx]

might get released through completing a major order

[bitter elk]

Ever since the advent of insane increase from the bug spawn, I started valuing sentries even more so than before

Hunters spawn especially has been seriously increased so autocannon to deal with patrol hunters and Gatling for close proximity is a such a life saver and gives me so much breathing room

[hybrid onyx]

speaking of they haven't updated it in a while

[bitter elk]

Probs waiting to drop the warbond first

I didn't expect them to drop a small patch days before

[twin perch]

https://youtu.be/pN-YDbSjiv8

[bitter elk]

Thought it'd be one big drop alongside warbond

[twin perch]

gonna check this

and see if this is clickbai

[bitter elk]

Kek sure

[bleak patrol]

Now I want 2 things

[clear lintel]

We dont know

A lot of stuff got leaked

But I doubt everything is coming this thursday

[bleak patrol]

Incendiary GL and a buggy

[bitter elk]

I could use more sentries upgrades, even smarter targeting priorities

[clear lintel]

Just go to Helldivers leaks on reddit instead of watching videos imo

[clear lintel]

All of that is prob coming with the Mk2 and Mk3 versions

[bitter elk]

The fact that you could not bring duplicate stratagems, at least for sentries, is immensely sad.

[clear lintel]

Eventually

[bitter elk]

So in 2 years

[clear lintel]

[tawny herald]

kinda like, infamy in payday 2

[hybrid onyx]

that's what I was thinking

[bitter elk]

As long as we don't lose our current stratagem

If we do

Nyeh, il stay

I'm not one to regrind level just for flex right anyway

[tawny herald]

I'm hoping for that actually

[clear lintel]

This was a beast, the rumbler

[bitter elk]

Yesh I was never big on prestige systems

Killing Floor 2, Payday 2 etc

I just levelled to what I need

[bitter elk]

And never look back

[sharp kindle]

Strat randomizer is no more

[tawny herald]

payday 2 made you stronger at least until a certain level of infamy

[bitter elk]

I kinda would have taken that over 50% increase CD tbh

[tawny herald]

more skill points to use

[bitter elk]

I wish we had more DRG style modifiers

[twin perch]

ok so

[clear lintel]

Our own tank

[twin perch]

[hybrid onyx]

the leaks did mention a stratagem with a similar ability

[bitter elk]

Where instead of just outright negative bullshit

[bitter elk]

We get planet that is behaving differently

But ATM?

Naw fuck your orbital lmao

[tawny herald]

I miss the counter measures

[tawny herald]

it was annoying but most of the time it was funny

[light nymph]

Why us the Urbanmech that much taller than the Locust?

[hybrid onyx]

Yeah I want positive mods to spice things up. make doing harder challenges more fun

[sharp kindle]

Because it is

[twin perch]

it's in the name

[sharp kindle]

Urbis are like a tiny bit taller than the locus

[twin perch]

Locust is a recon slut

Urbanmech are

Trashcans for city fights

[bitter elk]

That's kinda the point; I grinded (and really unfun so, constant cook out) till Infa 5 as necessary

[bitter elk]

And then fucked off and never looked back

[twin perch]

which are actually scary in a city fight because you do not want to fight a 360º trashcan with an AC20

[sharp kindle]

7 ammo

[bitter elk]

DRG is king at doing this

[twin perch]

Yeah and in city ranges all you need is 1 shot in the back

[bitter elk]

They don't throw just outright negative "fuck you" modifier

Just behavioural or planetary changes

[twin perch]

knowing Mectech you'll roll 3 different crits and their ammo will explode

[bitter elk]

For enemies

[twin perch]

or hit the cockpit

[light nymph]

Not as much as the picture! You're presenting a false narrative!

[hybrid onyx]

in MW5 they're kinda pointless when most cities have the structural integrity of a wet tissue

[bitter elk]

Then again DRG Devs and staffs alike

[clear lintel]

This is definitely coming back

[sharp kindle]

I mean

[clear lintel]

They are getting closer

[hybrid onyx]

fighting terminids for the new major order

[clear lintel]

The new objective will be rough to complete in high dif missions

[heavy heart]

i heard someone talking mad shit about urbies being extinct.

[twin perch]

Urb 2's tho

[heavy heart]

urbies and Urbie IICs are around into the dark ages, they even made new factories for the damn thing.

A cheap walking turret always is in demand, for some reason.

[bitter elk]

I find higher difficulties a lot more manageable now if you have someone dedicated on sentry duty and knows how to maximise their placement value

Especially with the autocannon capable of deleting very far patrols if allowed to, and Gatling for burst power on swarm killing potential

Especially the case with the reduced charger spawn for breaches and such

Patrols included

[bitter elk]

I tend to notice half the charger in play are often coming from ones guarding POIs

And a lot of them, thanks to lowered head HP

Dies even quicker to autocannon now if hit in the head

Sentry AC that is, not ours

Rocket sentries kinda doesn't have as much value now due to slightly lessened elite spawn

And better off bringing even more anti swarm stratagem emplacement like Tesla tower

[tawny herald]

I want a nuke stratagem

[obsidian flame]

[tawny herald]

nah, its too small

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBrFvshGFC0 This is cool

[hybrid onyx]

this is lowkey a spear nerf since you can't really aim the spear

[vague marsh]

spear sucks either way

[obsidian flame]

nice

[hybrid onyx]

spear is okay you just can't be too close to use it

[obsidian flame]

I wonder if it'll have info on the enemies

oh it will

[vague marsh]

its aiming system is wacky

sometimes it tries to lock onto an enemy 200m away

sometimes it can't even lock into 10m away bile

[heavy heart]

Spear is for titans anyhow.

[hybrid onyx]

it requires you to stand still when aiming that's the key

walking and aiming at the same time breaks the lock-on

[vague marsh]

still doesn't change the fact

[obsidian flame]

nah even crouching still the lock-on is wonky

[vague marsh]

that it tries to lock onto a 200m away grub

while it can't even lock onto 10m away bile

even if im standing still

[obsidian flame]

we were fooled

[tawny herald]

cool concept

[hybrid onyx]

spear is good for titans and bot factories

[clear lintel]

Im not sure where else would they place a codex

But its def coming

[tawny herald]

I hope this game will have a long life span, want to see what it will look like after 1 year or 2

[clear lintel]

The first one had a small but dedicated community for 10 years

they take twice as many shots as regular devas

That new heavy machine gun thats coming

[twin perch]

Huh?

[clear lintel]

Its like a more mobile heavy minigun

I doubt its coming this thursday though

[light nymph]

Stalwart is actually legit good vs zerks. Set it to max RPM, let them get close and mow them down

[twin perch]

and I'm telling you bro

they eat a lot of shots each

XD

[eager cliff]

i think they changed only bug spawns for now

[light nymph]

Shoot at their torso so they snap

[eager cliff]

main problem with Hulks is that , they dont get 1 tapped if you shoot them in the back with a missile or shit i guess

[light nymph]

Or maybe laser cannon vs zerks?

[eager cliff]

if i anti tank a hulk in the back he should die

[twin perch]

fun torso fact, practically the same as shooting at their chest

nope

really bad

[light nymph]

[twin perch]

I tried it

the best stalwart use is mid RPM aiming around head

and hoping you get fast head taps

it's faster than tummy shots

[eager cliff]

sorry i use Patriot Mech

[clear lintel]

Seems like the heavy breaker

[bleak patrol]

That would be mega funni

[bitter elk]

wtf

flying enemies bugs

[hybrid onyx]

not customizable mechs but completely different stratagems I think

[bitter elk]

Shrieker

???????????????

[sharp kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/killer-bugs-starship-troopers-gif-11816565

[bitter elk]

cool

we actually have flying enemy bugs now

[hybrid onyx]

unfortunately primaries can never be too good as stratagems will still be the main way to kill

so expect new weapons to be mid

[bleak patrol]

I expect new weapons to be cool af and they will be cool af in my eyes as long as they are not energy weapons

[hybrid onyx]

looks at the upcoming warbond

[bleak patrol]

Energy weapons?

[sharp kindle]

they are energy weapons

[bleak patrol]

Fuck

[sharp kindle]

high tech

[bleak patrol]

New warbond sucks ass

[sharp kindle]

and plasma

which is energy

[bleak patrol]

Can't have shit in helldivers

[sharp kindle]

we getting a

laser pistol

[hybrid onyx]

arc thrower shotgun looks interesting

[bleak patrol]

Ok, new secondary

It's good regardless of type

Still not a secondary shotgun

The list of things I want to see is short

There are like, 3 things on it

[sharp kindle]

ems grenades look fun

[twin perch]

Wait

what

[hybrid onyx]

Also wtf does this mean anyway

[buoyant urchin]

Whats better than accidental teamkills? Accidentally Slowing down your team so the bugs can eat them

[bitter elk]

shriekers

[twin perch]

What do you mean

Is there straight up a new enemy type

showing up

in missions rn?

[hybrid onyx]

we'll have anti-air missiles to deal with them soon

[bitter elk]

yes

they are a special bug nest enemy

[bleak patrol]

They removed scrambled stratagems effect

[hybrid onyx]

good

[bleak patrol]

No

I liked it

It was funny

[hybrid onyx]

no more calling a 500kg bomb on myself

[bleak patrol]

Pay attention then

[bitter elk]

Oh boy

[hybrid onyx]

or inputing a stratagem multiple times only for it to never show up

[bitter elk]

D7 bugs might just not be a chill difficulty to vibe in anymore

for duos

https://tenor.com/view/sigh-le-sad-cat-gif-16777715376630435814

[hybrid onyx]

just don't trigger a bug outbreak in the first place

updates say they'll add in silenced weapons too

[bitter elk]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-meme-gif-26978290

[bleak patrol]

I'm gonna miss this so much

[hybrid onyx]

they're smaller than I thought

[bitter elk]

yeah they kinda just fly overhead and smack your head

[obsidian flame]

[bleak patrol]

I understand that Scrambler may be annoying, but come on

Free funni moment generator

[bitter elk]

i personally

[bleak patrol]

You don't get those often in games

[bitter elk]

would take scrambler over 50% cd increase

[bleak patrol]

I'd take Scrambler over most other effects

You can even use it to your advantage

Have an airstrike and use it to call in weapons

[bitter elk]

yeah cuz scrambler can still counterplay sort of

[bleak patrol]

It's a shorter code

[bitter elk]

cd or increase arrival time?

lol enjoy getting fucked

[bleak patrol]

4 minute extraction when out of reinforcements, good luck

[bitter elk]

yep, fuck those two lol

[hybrid onyx]

that new booster will come in handy

[eager cliff]

bruh what the fuck is this mission

[twin perch]

Bot defense in bug formate

[eager cliff]

that fucking silo is made of paper , 3 bugs hit it it resets

fuck this

[twin perch]

Also known as "no one will play this"

HD2 devs trying to make an actual fun defense:

Eradication (Fucked)
Civvie Evac (Fucked)
Silo Defensed (Fucked)

[hallow rain]

Just gotta defend harder

[eager cliff]

i guess sentry meta

everyone must have 2-3 sentry and mechs

[hallow rain]

What's wrong with eradicate?

That's a lotta sentry

Civvie evac sucked bad solo

I never see anyone playing it, so I must concur in your assessment based on my experience and that fact.

[hybrid onyx]

What kinda sentry tho

[eager cliff]

yeah because if the silo is turend on , bugs automaticall aggro on it

[eager cliff]

all of them , lol , whatever you want

honestly i think the arc thrower and the mine sentry is good , they alwasy come from 3-4 directions

so you can hold off 1 or 2 directions with those

[hallow rain]

I like the mines, when I'm using them

[eager cliff]

ye i think maximum 1 mine per team

[hallow rain]

Seems like many people have issues understanding how to deploy

[eager cliff]

and only to hold chokepoints / places you wont return

[twin perch]

Tbh

Design issue if players or "randomly" made groups do not play 1 mission type/mission type has higher fail %

People didn't beat the defend major order because the missions suck even after all the adjusting

this is going to have the same issue

if the mission sucks no one plays it

[obsidian flame]

there were zero adjustments to the "evacuate researchers" mission back in the defend order against automatons

they adjusted the "civillian rescue" mission, which is a different one

researcher evac has always been screwed and they haven't done anything about it yet

[twin perch]

Oh really now

Man

I wonder why no one does em

[clear lintel]

Yeah... I haven't done the new objective why my usual team yet

We do enjoy laughs but there's one in our team who always goes jump pack, railgun, grenade launcher and air strike

Always

[bitter elk]

truly 10/10 target railcannon

i mean its reasonable why it did cuz i killed the last big nearby the beacon but funny nonetheless

[bitter elk]

the issue i have with mines is medium dying

ragdolling corpse across the minefield

and taking out half the mines

i mean it does make sense logically speaking

but darn it sucks to see that

[obsidian flame]

all those spewers were already dead?

[bitter elk]

yeah

[bitter elk]

I did silo defense D7 a couple times with duo to gauge the difficulty

it's a lot more doable compared to automatons evac researchers

but thats like

the lowest bar anywya

What I did was bringing anti swarm loadout because the primary issue was shit nibbling at it from all angles and not enough aoe to blast them away

GL, Supply pack, normal mines, napalm

my duo brought anti elite loadout

to deal with charger and bile titans

You're basically hoping to god not more than 2 bile titan spawn

otherwise good luck fending those off while other 500 shit nibble on the silo.

Oh and bile spewer having a field day

sets up artillery outside view

https://tenor.com/view/ok-all-nice-gif-22927671

I love this game

Otherwise if you have full squad

It's definitely easy though if everyone's good so that's a plus at least

[obsidian flame]

I just got 50 medals from the previous major order

[bitter elk]

STONKZ

In regards to swarm intensity, patrol included, it seems they have stuck with the post mech changes

In other words you have to really dedicate on wiping enemies fully just to make sure you don't get insanely overwhelmed, necessitating the need of someone with good anti-swarm loadout and capability

The hunters have increased leap range and accuracy (they seem to track aggressively now)

[twin perch]

So like...

they've basically made the game unfun?

Well this sucks lol

[bitter elk]

Kinda, if you let specific enemies build up

Two major units

Hunters

And Bile spewers

The rest is doable even at large numbers

[twin perch]

Well you see if every single fucking enemy but chargers and spewers couldn't call bug breaches

it wouldn't be so bad

[bitter elk]

Yep sucks lol

But I found that I'm able to solo contain a breach with arc and laser dog

IF

No charger and titan spawn

But yeah good luck if your random for example are triggering patrols left and right

Expect it to cascade really fast

[twin perch]

These cunts don't play their own fucking games

You can tell bots are broken when you get random shots from 100m

when you haven't even been there

[bitter elk]

Arc throwers are especially great anti hunters, and nursing spewers, but yeah

You will kinda cry Vs bile spewers

[eager cliff]

Yeah the silo mission is cancer

[bitter elk]

Or cannon turrets randomly deciding it wants to end you

I get pissed off by those more than anything

Cannon turret random aggro behaviour

[bitter elk]

Also yes post mech hunters got stealth buffed

One dude jumped across the map as I jet packed away lol

The tracking is insanely aggressive

[bleak patrol]

Cannon turrets aggro on the closest player

And bots will shoot at you from very long range but they are very inaccurate

What really annoys me is when that rocket marauder suddenly has 100% accuracy with that rocket launcher of his for no apparent reason

Not rocket devastator, rocket marauder

[bitter elk]

Also the Devs: let's introduce it to every mission chain

[bleak patrol]

But what if

We are all just bad at the game?

[eager cliff]

Or we are suppose to fail

[clear lintel]

Well Helldivers aren't odst

They don't receive elite training

[bitter elk]

True, we are truly skill issued

[clear lintel]

They are just thrown into combat

[bleak patrol]

We are either bad at the game or devs punish us for constant whining

[clear lintel]

The goal is to complete the mission, extraction is optional

Which is why according to lore if you extract without completing your mission you go to prison

Or die

[bleak patrol]

My favourite title so far is

Death Captain

[hybrid onyx]

Skull admiral also pretty cool

[bleak patrol]

Ye

I like me some edgy stuff sometimes

[clear lintel]

Undead Commander next

[bleak patrol]

Commander Shepard?

[bitter elk]

Death Admiral? Was it

Goes pretty hard

Death Captain?

Level 30 title

[bleak patrol]

(completes the mission with the highest death number)
Yeah, checks out

[bitter elk]

Honestly though il judge the shit out of things they do and vent a lot of frustration out here

But ultimately I still play and enjoy the game

Whenever I'm not getting ass fucked

It's their game so

They can decide how they wanna fuck or unfuck it

[bleak patrol]

I'll be honest

So far I only kinda complain about some mission types

And by complain I just try to avoid them if possible

I will still go for Eradication missions

I will just leave them for last

[bitter elk]

Eradication mission by standards is very much doable still, yeah

Challenging, but doable

[bleak patrol]

I dunno about the Silo thing, is it new?

[bitter elk]

The only mission I completely avoid is

Evac researchers

For obvious reasons

[bitter elk]

New major order, yeah

[bleak patrol]

When the defense major order was on I just did ops at Diff 3

[bitter elk]

If I had to put it on a scale of difficulty based on my own judgement

7/10 difficulty with duo

2/10 with full party

Good luck solo

The gist of it is that you need to defend 3 separate silos while enemies spawn and try to herd from 4 different directions

At least at D7

But yeah very, very doable

Just a tad bit of suffering

[obsidian flame]

so the uh

'location confusion' increases the time between enemy patrols appearing?

[clear lintel]

Isn't it better to do one silo at a time?

[bitter elk]

More like

Reduces their accuracy at homing on you

[bleak patrol]

Location confusion?

[clear lintel]

Upcoming booster

[bleak patrol]

Oh

[bitter elk]

So they aren't just hitscan straight pathing to your location prob

This is mostly guesstimate though so

[clear lintel]

I believe it will simply reduce patrol spawns

[obsidian flame]

also increasing the speed of Pelican 1

that one seems meta

[clear lintel]

Watch it reduce 20 seconds

[bitter elk]

Oh yeah I mean I do one at a time

I may have confusingly worded it as if you need to do it all at once

You are a god amongst Helldiver if you can lmao

[obsidian flame]

already good enough for me lol

[bitter elk]

20 seconds of not being railed by devastators or hunters?

IL take it

[clear lintel]

What's the title for level 50?

[bitter elk]

Skull Admiral

[clear lintel]

Ah

[bitter elk]

Pretty lame NGL lol

[clear lintel]

Should have been Liberty Angel

Or something like that

[bitter elk]

Death Captain goes so hard

[bleak patrol]

Major Order: Kill Terminids
Personal Order: Oi m8, kill 15 Devastators while you're at it

[clear lintel]

Literally lmao I have to kill the damn automaton scouts

[obsidian flame]

I think it was lame that lvl 30 is

DEATH CAPTAIN

edgy af

then 35

[bitter elk]

How dare you

[obsidian flame]

"admiral"

[bitter elk]

Death Captain is better than wannabe skull admiral

[obsidian flame]

even lamer

[clear lintel]

The whole game is edgy as fuck

[bitter elk]

DEATH CAPTAIN REVELS IN EDGINESS

[clear lintel]

Like

Helldiver

[bleak patrol]

Marshal

[bitter elk]

[bleak patrol]

35 is Marshal

[obsidian flame]

oh yeah marshal

sorry

[bleak patrol]

[obsidian flame]

anyways I meant death captain is edgy af as a good thing

[bitter elk]

Ah fair

[obsidian flame]

then the next title for 35 is

"marshal"

no edge to it

[bitter elk]

Lmfao true

[obsidian flame]

just the basic rank name

[bitter elk]

It's just

Raw egg level of lame

[bleak patrol]

Damn

"Raw Egg" title would be dope af

[bitter elk]

[obsidian flame]

my personal order today is 15 devas

[clear lintel]

Just imagine if the level 50 title would be Little Angel

Or little devil

[obsidian flame]

and now that I actually want to find devas

they're being shy

[obsidian flame]

or

DEMOCRAT

[bitter elk]

I mean it would be awesome if they gave us more titles through warbonds or soomething

Like anything to

Decorate our nameplate and title

[clear lintel]

Democratic Fist

[bitter elk]

hell, let us decorate our damn ship better!

🫠

[clear lintel]

It would be amazing if we had better customization

The cards are a bit eh

They need to introduce major order title/cards

[bitter elk]

I don't know if we are the captain of the super destroyer though, granted

[clear lintel]

We aren't

[bitter elk]

Yeah so I guess it makes half sense that we don't get to customize it

And yet we still buy upgrades for it

[clear lintel]

Otherwise all Helldivers waiting at the pods are captains xd

[bitter elk]

I still find it funny that the orbital cannon upgrade

[clear lintel]

I like to believe we are supplying with samples and the Officer is buying them

[bleak patrol]

What if they are?

[bitter elk]

Blocks your bridge view

Like bruh

[eager cliff]

no, the captain is the Democracy Officer that sits next to the map

[bitter elk]

Good place for cannons

[clear lintel]

Yea

The officer is the actual ruler of the ship

[bitter elk]

I liked the open view

[bleak patrol]

He's not very good at that whole captaining thing

[bitter elk]

Now I can't see 2.5/5 of it

[clear lintel]

That's not very democratic of you Pyrson

[eager cliff]

well he just tells us to go die

[clear lintel]

[obsidian flame]

I think it's good that they didn't focus too much on cosmetics as soon as the game launched unlike some shitheads at Fatshark

[bleak patrol]

Anyway

I'd say we more or less take the role of Navigators

[clear lintel]

For sure, I do believe they'll add more customization as time goes on. for now they clearly want to establish the game

[bitter elk]

"Take this limp ass, anemic scythe that was so good in HD1 but absolutely Garbo and go kill the bugs lmao"

[clear lintel]

I feel like the first 6 months will be all that

And at the end of the year we'll be battling in Super earth

[obsidian flame]

tbf we can't have the scythe doing too much dps otherwise no one would use the ballistic guns

[clear lintel]

That's not necessarily true

[bitter elk]

Also that arrow head is pretty damn wild at the moment

[obsidian flame]

'infinite ammo' needs to have a tradeoff

[clear lintel]

Well, it kinda is now

[bitter elk]

They kinda just activating new missions and yeeting changes left and right

[clear lintel]

But HD1 had amazing ballistic weapons

[bitter elk]

So it's hard to gauge wtf they planning lol

[clear lintel]

Yeah they aren't managing the game that well

[bitter elk]

Like the sudden flying enemies

[clear lintel]

A lot of stuff is being leaked

[bitter elk]

Gave me quite a bit of a "uh wtf is that......??????"

[obsidian flame]

that is true, but the only way to make the scythe better in hd2 is to make it have more dps and kill things faster
but then it either

1. will make it kill things too fast
2. will not make it kill things fast enough to a point where it makes a discernible difference

[obsidian flame]

wait they already added the flyers?

[bitter elk]

500% limbs damage

Excel at turning bug into amputees

[clear lintel]

The lasers should melt armor and not overheat so quickly

The leaked gameplay of the sickle is atrocious

[twin perch]

Oh no no no

please

NO

[obsidian flame]

SWEET LIBERTY

[twin perch]

Please make primaries good

[obsidian flame]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[twin perch]

please

[bitter elk]

Enjoy your raw egg level of sicklr

[twin perch]

Just

[clear lintel]

Gun overheats stupidly quickly and takes a long time to kill a medium sized bug

[obsidian flame]

oh fuck yeah

[twin perch]

Just make primaries solid weapons or smth... we laready have the insane enemy aggro and spawns

My dissapointment on this game is just peaking

[clear lintel]

However the new laser anti tank weapon is pretty powerful

2 shots to a non weak point of the tank and it gets destroyed

[bitter elk]

Bro that emote and the name

[bleak patrol]

Knowing that I'd probably not touch the Sickle anyway

[bitter elk]

[bleak patrol]

I don't care

[twin perch]

Just wait until they diddle your fav stuff

[bleak patrol]

Lib Pen?

[clear lintel]

Sad its one of my favorites

But the justice is being added

So I'm not that sad

[bitter elk]

That's what I mean by arrowhead being a wild card

Suddenly a new enemy type in 60mb patch

[twin perch]

They will make it full auto to spite you

[bleak patrol]

I can see the patch notes already

"Liberator Penetrator is Auto now - Fuck you Pyrson"

[bitter elk]

I dunno if they gonna put any patch notes in warbond release day

[clear lintel]

They added it now so on Thursday they add the new anti-flier stratagem

[bitter elk]

They alr popped one out now

[twin perch]

"We removed burst and single too"

[clear lintel]

If everything is right then on Thursday we'll get 5 new stratagems

[bleak patrol]

It's not really that I dislike full auto, it's just that I really enjoy burst

Spamming fire with the Incendiary Breaker feels nice

[twin perch]

I breaker is great

[bitter elk]

I try to avoid leak, or rather not actively chase them usually

[twin perch]

1 less AP

but feels good lol

[buoyant urchin]

Dominator burst is wild

[bleak patrol]

On bugs? Perfect

[bitter elk]

5 new stratagems?

How confident are you on that

[clear lintel]

Not at all

XD

[bitter elk]

Lmao fair

[clear lintel]

But I'm sure they'll be added after or during Thursday

[bleak patrol]

Yesterday I was playing with 2 friends and just took a full incendiary loadout and it was fun as hell

[bitter elk]

Yeah arrowhead being a real wildcard

They really just be like

"lmao monthly update? Plans? Nah fuck that"

[bleak patrol]

Which is why I now want an Incendiary Grenade Launcher to be a thing

[clear lintel]

|| The very powerful machine gun, with high recoil ||

|| the seeker missile ||

|| The AC Mech ||

|| The nuke ||

|| the commando ||

[bitter elk]

Manually manned mortar that launches and burst incendiary shells in the air

For a wide burn coverage

[clear lintel]

They still haven't released the roadmpa

[bleak patrol]

I also thought about that

[bitter elk]

[clear lintel]

Roadmap

[bitter elk]

Would be really great for general area denial tbh

[clear lintel]

CEO said they had to reorganize it completely due to new people at the company, the huge unexpected playerbase and just new plans in general

[bitter elk]

But idk if that'd ever exist

[clear lintel]

One would think we'd have it by now

[bitter elk]

I just want my NPC soldiers

[clear lintel]

I'm pretty sure they are like "ok we didn't expect that many people how the fuck can we appeal to hundreds of thousands now"

[clear lintel]

"We'll fight for you Helldiver!" Dies two second later

[plain bough]

Alrighty solved my crashing bug, all good to go to farm medals like a crackhead

[bitter elk]

Noice

I hate grinding though so I'm just accruing medals normally

I'm at like 250 atm

[plain bough]

190 atm

[bitter elk]

Dank

Should get you at least first page of the bond

New* bond
