i dont need more

[slim coral]

get nunchucked

[fast spindle]

is stalwart good

i thought it was a meme weapon since MG does the same but with medium pen

[bitter elk]

It's actually pretty great of a weapon for anti-swarm on bugs, actually

Just that its position is contested by several other options alongside it

Far higher mag size, quicker reload, capability to reload on the go, higher fire rate is few distinction it has over the MG

So if your plan is to primarily deal against Scavengers, Hunters, Warriors, Brood Commanders, Stalkers, it is capable of dealing with all of them

And use a medium penetrating weapon like Slugger for Hive Guard, Nursing Spewer and Bile Spewer's head

It's only real downside is the aforementioned inability to pierce through armor, and also a fairly moderate turning speed which means it can be overwhelmed if enemies are approaching at too wide of an angle

But otherwise I personally find it to be just as good as the other anti-swarm options

[twin perch]

Excellent primary when running fatter guns

[slim coral]

Stalwart?

shit is great

if you run like a shotgun or something for 1st slot

running Stalwart is a great idea

[raw folio]

stalwart is pretty damn good for horde clear

It's why its in A tier on my list

[pale hollow]

+1 on the Stalwart.
Great to have one guy on the team run it to clear out the hunters, not super great on Automaton missions though.

[twin perch]

Actually really good at mid distance

You can deal w snything but walkers

New armor today in a bit

[granite nest]

anyone helldiving today?

[twin perch]

I'm getting teamkuilled by lelve 7's

Bro just, walked into the mine I marked

I'm going to private my game

These guys ran down 20 reinforces down to 7 in a difficulty 5

in 3 minutes

They called a hellbomb to deal with AA

and killed themselves with it

@clear lintel @obsidian flame 😩

Have you guys noticed Randoms are worse now

[granite nest]

lmao

thats why i dont play with randoms

you never know when they are communist scums

[twin perch]

Randoms used to be dependable up to 7

They don't even bring anti mid armor post patch

I don't understand how I can do 5's without dying or hard moments

and the moment randoms are involved

I am fighting half ot he map at once

[slim coral]

Me who is level 17 wearing infiltrator armor

[twin perch]

Ok Joel is doing something

or bot balance is whack

I get to extract

and I have to fight 7 patrols and 3 hulks back to back

before I can call it in

then get rushed by 3 more patrols

in a 5

[slim coral]

I thought thats pretty normal

[twin perch]

It's not

[slim coral]

I was with DOGE and Xan

And we was rushed with tank and hulk at the last exfil

Its Diff 7

[twin perch]

This is not even looking for fights or random patrols, just main obj

Normally it's half of that solo

[slim coral]

Surprised you have 0 death with everything thrown at you

Pro gamer

[twin perch]

My best one is a 500 kill game with 0 deaths on 7

Time to find 2 bile titans

and there's no bile kill misisons

Aight I refuse to believe they haven't deployed stealth balancing again since yday

Bots are 100% fucked with rn

Bugs are sleeper mode solo in 7

Lmao

[earnest stag]

Damn

[autumn talon]

reason why i have never played with randoms

[obsidian flame]

I only play with randoms when my friend's the host and he forgets to set the session to private

but also, said friend only plays up to diff 5 for some reason

[tranquil zealot]

been trying to get a lvl 6 mission done to unlock lvl 7 ... its been impossible

[obsidian flame]

today's personal order is 2 bile titans

can't find "eliminate bile titan" missions

[twin perch]

Yup

[obsidian flame]

I found one but can't find any others

I could join these guys...

game should have a "refresh mission list" button you can press once every 30 mins or something

[bleak patrol]

Stuff like this happened to me many times, even before any so-called "changes" were implemented

The game just tends to do stuff like this on both sides

And not only on//before extractions

For example, when I do bugs and I find an Artillery side objective, if I decide to do it there's a high chance I'll have to deal with 11 "random" patrols before I even get one shell in

Never had it happen on bots

Sometimes there are extractions where literally nothing comes to stop you

And for me it happened more often on bots

Getting absolutely swarmed seems to happen more commonly on bugs for me

There are the "oh god oh fuck" extractions on bots, but they tend to be easier to manage

As long as somebody doesn't decide to 380mm the entire cover away

[obsidian flame]

yeah just getting near the artillery emplacement spawns enemies around you and they always home in on you

[plain bough]

Don't know wtf was happening but patrols was spawning back to back on my bug mission around corners and we failed that mission hard

[tawny mirage]

i cant believe they have the best armor in the game on offer

[plain bough]

Played with this team of medics lol

[sharp kindle]

if only it was the all 4 each with a different medic armor

[bleak patrol]

I've yet to test the heavy medic armor

I haven't been on bots for a while now

[sharp kindle]

wanted to buy it
however

heavy armor

[bleak patrol]

I bought it

Because

Heavy Armor

That's exactly the set I wanted

Heavy Medic

Now I just need to pair it with Ballistic Shield and deploy it against bots

[sharp kindle]

i have tried to make it work
but it just doesnt vibe with me

[bleak patrol]

I won't try to make it work
I will make it work

[sharp kindle]

[bleak patrol]

[sharp kindle]

medium armor enjoyer

[bleak patrol]

I'm just doing my best to recreate my Div 2 set in HD2

[twin perch]

I would like to be able to pain the shield white

if you used the medic armor

[bleak patrol]

That would be cool

[plain bough]

Anyone seen the Quasar launcher and the new machine gun

[obsidian flame]

nope

still can't find a goddamn bile titan kill mission

Joel pls

[plain bough]

I just did diff 8 and got my bile titans that way

[obsidian flame]

0ooo just found it

[obsidian flame]

I'd rather not have to suffer any longer than absolutely necessary

[plain bough]

the one player who dies most of the time and calling the team trash and then leaving moment

[obsidian flame]

I'm soloing, so lowest difficulty possible

kill the titan, extract

be done with it

[plain bough]

just need another 180 rares to complete me modules

i'll finish it in a week or so

[obsidian flame]

I need supers

not like I have a lot of rares either

just 96

enough for one upgrade

[plain bough]

Im practically done with cutting edge, so gonna invest all my medals into the free pass and try to finish it

[obsidian flame]

I just unlocked cutting edge, didn't buy anything there yet

I'm almost done with the non-cosmetic stuff in Helldivers Mobilize

then I can move onto finishing Steeled Veterans, just 3 non-cosmetic items left there as well iirc.

aaaaaaaand I'm done for today

[autumn talon]

@plain bough@obsidian flamesolution for your needs is simple

we go farming

[plain bough]

Jesse, we gotta farm

[autumn talon]

i need 126 rares anymoar

[steep fractal]

TO THE MINES

[bitter elk]

Not gonna lie I still kinda wish they had another new perk with the steel edge pass

Armor I mean

Having 3 armor all being literally the same perk is kinda lame

[plain bough]

practically same as Steeled Vets, all same perks

[bitter elk]

Yeah I guess that's what they going for

Three armor looks with all the same perk but different styling

For every new premium pass

[plain bough]

drip over function

[obsidian flame]

They're only being REALLY stupid by not having one armor of each weight class

[plain bough]

yeah, they should all have the entire armor class

[bitter elk]

Yeah, though I guess you are not missing out a lot on heavy arc armor

Not having light arc armor would be

Highest order of treason

Albeit

It also looks the lamest

Of the three bro

[plain bough]

I like the light arc suit, it make my ass look big

[bitter elk]

2nd one is literally master chief

1st one gives some weird star wars vibe

Light armor on 3rd, I dunno

He kinda looks some weird ass snail

[steep fractal]

🗿

[plain bough]

at least the better gun was only 20 medals to unlock

sickle for life (1 week)

[bitter elk]

The 3 things worth getting being on 1st and 2nd page is vibe

Stun nade, sickle, booster

I can't live without stun nades now on bugs

Shit DAMN good Vs chargers and bile titans

the fact it STOPS charger mid rush is dank

Meanwhile EMS mortar and orbital:

It stopping bile titan might be unintended though

As no EMS should affect it

Mostly from the logic that it makes the bile titan basically a joke lol

Also stun nade Vs flamethrower hulk

easy

Fucken

Pz

[plain bough]

also saw the future hazmat looking suit was just a yellow medic suit supposedly

[bitter elk]

[bitter elk]

Bruh

[plain bough]

I was hoping it would be a fireproof suit

[bitter elk]

Missed chance for 50% acid resistance and complete immunity to slowdown effect

My death from bugs has been 85% spewers these days

I do not know why but they have the stealth of an assassin

Always creep behind me and pukes without me realizinf

[plain bough]

anyway, next month should be the adjudicator, bolter sniper and crossbow

[surreal pumice]

Fuck america pendosu

[bitter elk]

Following trend, hopefully at least one is good

[plain bough]

the heavy armor is drippy as hell on that warbond

[plain bough]

also 50% explosive resistance too, so got drip and is bot mission worthy

[obsidian flame]

I mean... if you're wearing armor to protect yourself from teammates, having more defense against the ACTUAL ENEMIES wouldn't be a bad thing, right?

[bitter elk]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-the-misery-everybody-wanna-be-my-enemy-cat-gif-25172445

Jokes aside i might consider getting that light armor with extra nade shenanigan

Having EMS on command is great

Albeit the loss of impact is greatly felt too

[plain bough]

It's funny how slow turrets rotate and the one module upgrade gives an immense turn rate

[sharp kindle]

https://vxtwitter.com/TRAPPANCAKE/status/1769372485126865342

[slim coral]

Petition

they need to make Break Action Shotgun as deployable strategem

why? idk

[hallow rain]

I get why it isn't, but I also would deploy it on occasion

[cedar ermine]

I'm convinced 2/3 of my deaths to bugs is cus of slowness

[plain bough]

hunter madness

[tawny herald]

Spend most of my time there, tbh I don't think it is as bad as Hellmire. And it's kinda ironic since the original meme is ''You're on your way to Brazil"

[cedar ermine]

Helldiver difficulty kinda crazy

Forming a queue

[tawny herald]

Waiting in line

[shy schooner]

DUUUUUDE

I would BUST to have an Eagle Airstrike hit that

[vague marsh]

@autumn talon ngl grinding diff 1 missions for medal

is even more worth

[autumn talon]

[obsidian flame]

it would kill less than half of them

[cedar ermine]

You'll be lucky if it kills one tbh

I've seen a charger tank a full orbital laser

[autumn talon]

500 would even kill one

[obsidian flame]

I guess if they're all standing there lookin' pretty, the orbital gas strike could kill them all eventually

[cedar ermine]

There were like 2-3 behind me aswell

I'm convinced they lied about the chargers getting nerfed

[autumn talon]

eh they take 6 arc thrower shots

[vague marsh]

bruh

[obsidian flame]

I think the only nerf was to their heads, so you can take them out with one EAT-17 or Recoilless Rifle round. No lies there, it works.

[autumn talon]

he aint lying

[cedar ermine]

Fair enough, gotta try that

[vague marsh]

[median trellis]

[obsidian flame]

it's extremely satisfying.

[autumn talon]

watch as no sc only medals and reqs

[vague marsh]

[median trellis]

[vague marsh]

how

[obsidian flame]

wow hate why you jinxing your friends

[obsidian flame]

grenade at your feet
jump one sec before it detonates

[vague marsh]

i have impact

[obsidian flame]

................ change it?

I'm not sure if jumping into a wall causes enough of an impact to ragdoll the player

I just grenaded myself

took "Kill the Strelok" too seriously

[vague marsh]

ez

[obsidian flame]

I really want to do the achievement to destroy both of a hulk's arms, leave it alive and extract

[vague marsh]

how can u even do it

with rail ?

[obsidian flame]

if you aim carefully at its arms, I think regular explosives do the trick

I know Devastators' arms are vulnerable to small arms fire, but not sure if that's also true for hulks. Doubt it.

[median trellis]

[obsidian flame]

how does this happen? Do samples in secure bunkers (that require 2 players) not count in the total?

[autumn talon]

i guess so

[obsidian flame]

if this allows grenades

[autumn talon]

only reason i can think off

[obsidian flame]

the stun and incendiary grenades are gonna shine

[vague marsh]

it doesn't specify sooo

[median trellis]

fucking hunter army

[vague marsh]

jesus

[autumn talon]

all of the ones from nest went poof when i died

[vague marsh]

i wanted to help hate

[median trellis]

we tried to get to you hate the hunter swarm was to great

[vague marsh]

[vague marsh]

diff 9 bots ?

[median trellis]

WE WHERE ASWELL WDYM

[vague marsh]

YE WDYM

[vague marsh]

I WAS STRUGGLING WITH A TITAN ON EVAC THE WHOLE TIME

[autumn talon]

I WAS MORE

[vague marsh]

[median trellis]

[autumn talon]

i had a titan inside the swarm too

[vague marsh]

i had flamethrower

mf survived 2 500kg's

and airburst

"stalkers needs nerf. They shouldn't 2 shot divers 🤓 "

meanwhile that hunter swarm

[autumn talon]

weeee

[autumn talon]

stalkers are easy

[vague marsh]

they are

hunters need to stop bodying u like that

not to mention your fucking character refusing to stim

when u break the V key

[autumn talon]

got the
"titan"
"where?"

[vague marsh]

[autumn talon]

@vague marsh also here

[vague marsh]

6 shots wtf

so u just aim for the head ?

[raw folio]

If you get lucky on the arcs it can be 5

[vague marsh]

huh

[autumn talon]

ay

[raw folio]

The head HP nerf helped the arc thrower a lot too

since it ignores armor

[vague marsh]

damn

well you dont really aim with arc but yee

So A tier

[raw folio]

B tier is fair for the dominator

It's fine, just a little to get used to

[earnest stag]

Whats with Animal listings?

Tier = Animal

[earnest stag]

At least its a metric shit load and not an imperial shit load

[hard tapir]

Imagine eating the rich

[bitter elk]

As much as hunters annoy me, still better than pre-nerfed chargers

They just become the highest priority to be dealt with and deleted on combat engagement, with Spewers on right below them as they are incessantly hell of a bug if allowed to be in melee range

Though I can't remember if Bile Spewers have armoured head or not

I believe they do?

[twin perch]

Yes

Enought to bounce anything not a Slugger

Which is, infuriating enough

[bitter elk]

Yeah and combined with how tanky their butt is to non-explosive damage and, to top off the entire thing with icing on the cake, an armoured spine running the middle of it lol

Like a "lmao fuck you" almost

The weird thing I'm noticing is that patrols that consist of heavy numbers of spewers has started to be on the rise as of late

In a single game I've gotten caught off guard by not a patrol of hunter, but Spewer and instantly die due to how lethal their spit is numerous time

Ironic considering how large their body is lol

[light nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/big-chungus-picked-off-you-just-got-picked-off-l'jarius-sneed-gif-18241615846356384021

[twin perch]

0 noise, just scuttle and long af range

Feels AH just been fucking with difficulty since patch

I'm just waiting rn

[bitter elk]

Yeah that is kinda the thing; all enemies are basically almost absolutely silent until within detection range, which is pretty small

Also bile spewers and nursing spewers are very agile for their size

I think they beeline for you straight while other bugs like warriors try to strafe to the side if you move sideways

[bitter elk]

They definitely are lol

Release D7 was significantly more chill than current D7

Though on the other hand, D9 has been somewhat slightly less stressful ball

Mostly because on those difficulties, old patch they are excessively dominated by titans and chargers

With the advent of charger nerfs and somewhat reduced titan spawn, it's a tad bit more okay

Automatons are a loss cause

What once took three flares to accumulate in intensity now comes in one flare

I wonder if they doing all this shadow adjustment to 'fit' the current lore of what's happening

[twin perch]

Id rather be able to have fun playing

[heavy heart]

Surprised about the love of the snipers tbh,
They've been nothing but shit in my experience. more useful vs bots than bugs, but only barely.

[light nymph]

pretty sure that's intended. Different weapons are supposed to be usefull vs different enemies

[heavy heart]

Yeah, that is indeed intended.

but meh vs bots and shit vs bugs makes me wonder why folks like it

[twin perch]

There is currently only a few guns that are full on garbage

And its the Diligence CS

Thats basicially unusable

[light nymph]

high zoom and good dmg makes it great to headshot Devestators

[obsidian flame]

https://tenor.com/view/my-man-my-man-hd-my-man4k-gif-23532578

I still can't imagine why this weapon even exists in the game

[light nymph]

there's a unit in the Illuminate roster that's a sniper from HD1

[obsidian flame]

and unless it dies from one hit to Diligence CS but does not die in one hit from the regular Diligence

it's still a pointless piece of shit

[bitter elk]

Yeah I still never understood it myself

Mech first saw immense spike of rise in difficulty starting Kwan, which made sense because the major order effective at the time mentioned about bots fighting back harder and whatnot

Except it remained even after Kwan order was finished

Bugs were right after post mech release

[obsidian flame]

the intern forgot to flip the 'extra difficulty' switch

[bitter elk]

It's hard to really understand if this was on purpose or not considering the current generalisation that enemies spawn are supposedly redistributed towards the weaker ones

And if they do,

[obsidian flame]

if they do, we got some skill issue to climb over

[bitter elk]

Did it take consideration of the increased spawn and increased further or not

[obsidian flame]

or maybe enough backlash could make them readjust

[bitter elk]

I mean yeah I don't mind the difficulty adjustment itself (as frustrating as it might be)

Just how omega inconsistent it is NGL lol

Or how shit aren't announced to have actually changed

[bitter elk]

Bots in general became a real big hurdle of skill issue to overcome lol

On D7 every flares are almost very likely to be 3+ dropship with tanks or Hulks

[twin perch]

Bots are either

Spam of devastators

Or flare, 20 guys and 2 tanks

[bitter elk]

Pre-Kwan and all the shadow changes

I loved fighting automatons to be honest

Being tactical, and all that war looking theatrical was so damn good,

But now it's just another meat grinder as well but bots lol

[heavy heart]

I still prefer bots to bugs tbh,

[twin perch]

Yup

[heavy heart]

I find bugs sometimes hit a critical mass of you being bounced around all day, whereas bots are mostly slow enough that if shit hits the fan you can dive between cover to open up breathing room.

[obsidian flame]

they took the malevelon creek memes seriously

[bitter elk]

Yeah frankly I just want the release difficulty vibe back, that's all

Where tense situations can be very tense still on D7 but you have ebb and flow of moments where you can have a time of respite and chill amidst a warzone

Instead of the current where it's just

[heavy heart]

Yeah there's no chill anymore,

[bitter elk]

Permanent asshole clinching all the time lol

[heavy heart]

I think I prefer 6 as my go to difficulty atm, but I'm not running 4 mans often

[bitter elk]

If everywhere's 'Nam,

There will be no 'Nam.

https://tenor.com/view/vietnam-flashback-traumatized-cat-gif-7852054576948114551

[bitter elk]

Yeah I permanently run D7 with my duo when we have time to play

Frustrating, but equally important so I can feel when the difficulty changes

We might consider dropping to D5 but honestly if the spawn shit trickles down on lower diff

It won't matter lol

[heavy heart]

Aye, and I need to go up to grind supersamples.

[twin perch]

No

You can still get duo tank droppe

or trying to extract can get patrol combo'd

[heavy heart]

tanks are memes though,

[twin perch]

"tanks are memes" he says not realizing tanks are scary not because they're tanks,. but because they're area deniers who tend to enable the patrol/bot spam to run you down

Oh yeah @bitter elk You've noticed how fucking awful titans are now that they sped them up

lol

[heavy heart]

Yeah, they've not bothered me in that way. they're easy enough to knock out very quickly when they're in the way, and sluggish and slow enough to just avoid if you don't need to kill them off.

[bitter elk]

Bots are often less about the unit themselves, but what they pose threat-wise when working in tandem together

Unless it's shield or rocket devastators. Either two can sock you off even from a far distance lol, and flamethrower Hulk to a certain degree

[sharp kindle]

slow tanks are not an issue most of the time
As long as you have cover

the anti air tank however
is pain the balls

[bitter elk]

Which is nice but then again you consider how they basically spam everything nowadays lol

[obsidian flame]

the hulk variant with the AT cannon is also

[bitter elk]

So it doesn't matter anyway

[bitter elk]

45% of the time they tend to bug out usually and just not move for some reason

And contend with trying to delete you from afar

[heavy heart]

Pet peeve is the hulks that seem rather prone to shooting through walls...

Playing cover to cover is less fun when sometimes they'll just shoot you through the rock/wall/whatever anyway

[bitter elk]

I don't think they buffed the speed of Titans and honestly me and my duo tends to bring railcannon and 500KG just so we can deal with that, otherwise it's annoying to literally kite against

Advent of stun nade helps immensely

As it's the only thing that currently can make them locked in place

For a few seconds

[heavy heart]

I've started using the autocannon turret more heavily vs them,

Seems fairly reliably at just gunning the damn things down.

[bitter elk]

The only true anti-titan weapon currently is the Spear as it can one shot it

Though good damn luck tryna get the angle right lol

Might be more doable now that stun nade here is but then again

Everytime I bring it for some reason titan just

Stops spawning

[heavy heart]

https://tenor.com/view/starship-troopers-paul-verhoeven-robert-heinlein-only-good-bug-is-a-dead-bug-its-afraid-gif-23642454

[sharp kindle]

most of the time its alot easier to RR to the face 3 times than the spear

[bitter elk]

Yeah you need a fair amount of effort to nail the perfect shot with spear

Though I personally found if it's just spawning the chances are a lot higher due to head elevation

[heavy heart]

RR or Auto spam,

[earnest stag]

TRAITOR bug cuddler/kisser

[sharp kindle]

you need
1 the titan needs to be on you
2 the spear needs to function
3 you need the correct distance

[bitter elk]

The spear works great now lock on wise on bugs

[sharp kindle]

thats quite alot to ask for when its prob not the only threat

[bitter elk]

Still fucking shite as ever on bots though

I will also not stop mentioning how it got shadow nerfed

No longer one shotting cannon turret and dropship

Also they closed support threads on official discord

I don't see em anymore lol

[heavy heart]

Shooting down dropships feels like a feature they forgot they had added.

Like, they added it some point early one, then just forgot to actually finish the animiations, or deal with what happens to the wreck

[sharp kindle]

tbh

it does work fine

if you are host

otherwise the animation does not play

[heavy heart]

it's.. routinely teleported somewhere else, then crashed there for me as host

and then had an invisible hit box covering ~50% more than the model

[bitter elk]

Shooting dropship always caused chaos though which is fun to see

Not my duo going "what the fuck is happening" as I shoot the 4th dropship down with RR

[heavy heart]

when you actually get it timed right so you kill the spawns

rather than just have them teleport somewhere random to fuck you up later, is just

[bitter elk]

[bleak patrol]

You're not having fun?

Because witnessing my shieldless friends getting swarmed by tons of bugs never gets old for me

[bitter elk]

I do also hope they buff the arc shotgun eventually

Having a mini arc thrower primary would be nice

Around that level I'm still bumbling about at D3 or so, only doing D5+ by time I got autocannon

Much less thinking about samples

I'm the arc main, the only bug that can swarm me are green spewers

because they tank like 5 arc shots

or they body block

The Arc may kill everything, but the sight of a Helldiver just burning the whole landscape is just something else

Gee if only half the elevated surface doesn't bounce my balls off

Lol

[obsidian flame]

I just noticed

dude conveniently zoomed the screen in just enough to hide the status bar and what difficulty he's playing

[bleak patrol]

7

[obsidian flame]

in some clips. in others it's 2

[bleak patrol]

Go test things on 9 then

Do it

[obsidian flame]

I'm guessing he did, because he said the gun ain't great for higher difficulty
but ya know

source: trust me bro

[bleak patrol]

By quickly skimming through the video, I've only seen 2 in the beginning and at the very end

Oh, and a brief clip in the middle

When saying that it can't open containers

Speaking of difficulty

Did SountTrackJ finally move out of D1 limbo?

Apparently the evacuate personnel mission has more rares than stated at POIs

like finding bundles of 6 rares at one spot

[obsidian flame]

which one of the 'evacuate personnel' missions?

the one where you need to take a SSSD to the spot with the shuttle coordinates? or the one with the 3 doors you need to keep opening while waves of enemies appear nonstop

[twin perch]

This one

i wonder what will bring the Illuminates back

We killed them

officialy we did

[obsidian flame]

officially being the keyword

[twin perch]

the trigger delay

[twin perch]

if you seen the leaks ||they got super-earth radiation therapy||

[earnest stag]

yeah

what does that mean

they bleached now ?

[obsidian flame]

it's kinda funny how ppl are more interested in future stuff via leaks and datamining than what's actually in the game

[twin perch]

They look like a fles- and a psedogi- had a baby

[earnest stag]

Can you show =

i cant picture that smh

[autumn talon]

makes sense imo

[obsidian flame]

well yeah when ppl are capped in resources and have nothing to unlock I guess

the burnout is real

[earnest stag]

Mhhh

Im eager to see em soon

Yeah and you can see it in other games too, when new season with new stuff drops ppl interested untill they play and experience everything

I wish ppl didn't have such a hard-on for this kinda crap content

[tawny herald]

I see cowboy stuff in space game I click

no questions asked

[obsidian flame]

leaks in general, I mean

but ye

[bleak patrol]

Lever action?

Imma main it

[plain bough]

time to be a space cowboy rangling terminids

[obsidian flame]

I hope it's a primary and not a meme support weapon like the break-action shotgun

because one could argue

[bleak patrol]

I'd main break-action if it were buyable

[obsidian flame]

this sort of weapon is something the colonists/farmers/civillians would have

[plain bough]

the leaks is just a river now with bottles of stored content landing at our feet

[obsidian flame]

I'd fuckin LOVE IT if we could have the break-action in our loadouts. But as a primary, not support weapon.

[bleak patrol]

Ye

[obsidian flame]

exactly

and I could be wrong but

[bleak patrol]

I feel like it wouldn't be half bad as a primary

[obsidian flame]

it feels like ppl don't even play the game

they just

[plain bough]

already saw more leaks earlier lol

[obsidian flame]

sit and wait for "the new content"

[obsidian flame]

maybe if it had a bit more ammo capacity. 40 is quite low.

[plain bough]

more bullets for the bullet hell

[bleak patrol]

Just up it to Punisher's 60

[bleak patrol]

Imma go drop on Intense Heat planet with my heavy ass armor

No running for me

[bleak patrol]

"available"

As expected, running on a hot planet with heavy armor equipped is not an option

But it does feel like I can take a lot more beating

[sharp kindle]

how long can you sprint ?

[bleak patrol]

I didn't really measure it

But let me tell you this

I almost failed Blitz

[sharp kindle]

[bleak patrol]

I've reached the final outpost with 20s left

I blame it on the game not giving me the free jump pack

In other news, Plasma shotgun kinda pog on bots

I don't have to waste my support weapon on walkers

And it stuns shield devastators

It can't open containers

[sharp kindle]

plasma shotgun apparently 5 taps chargers

the revolver also now has medium armor pen

[plain bough]

it had med pen for a while

[sharp kindle]

stupid shadow buffs

[bleak patrol]

I am not taking a weapon that can kill me on bugs

Also Revolver could damage medium armor opponents since I first used it

[bleak patrol]

Y'know I sometimes enjoy going and seeing the comments relating to playing solo

"You allow us to play solo so you should allow us to get everything solo" after being told they wont make the double door bunkers soloable

[obsidian flame]

lmao

I kinda wish they manipulated the map generator to make it not spawn the bunker if you're soloing

but I'm not gonna die over it

inb4 people somehow find a way to enter the bunker solo

[obsidian flame]

S2E1, based

[slim coral]

I think if you dive into a wall or something sometimes you clip through it

[bleak patrol]

Next Objective
Dive into the bunker

[raw folio]

It doesn't activate the loot however

People did it with the mech

[slim coral]

It still has ammo inside

[bleak patrol]

Next Objective
Activate the loot inside the bunker solo and dive into it

[raw folio]

[bitter elk]

Yeah you can't interact with the loot inside sadly

As it is possible to clip into it

[bitter elk]

Pogz kek

I haven't played in a couple days, just taking a break while waiting to see if they got anything cooking for the next week or so

[obsidian flame]

[bitter elk]

It should be high time for yet another patch note soon

[obsidian flame]

hopefully

[bitter elk]

They also really just used the announcement for a gif of the current cutting edge armor

Got me hyped for nuthin

[obsidian flame]

[bleak patrol]

The Arc shotgun ain't bad

I half expected it to zap me instead of the enemy

Also I've came to a (very late) conclusion that not calling in extraction and letting the timer run out is probably the best thing to do

Especially when the +100% call-in time effect is on

I don't have to stay by the extraction zone, which is where a massive amount of the enemies will go + I get extra 2-4 minutes to get optional shit done

Yes, I've only figured it out after 113h of play

[obsidian flame]

not having stratagems tho

not even reinforce

[slim coral]

@bleak patrol

[bitter elk]

Eh, that's aight

For me it ultimately depends how much time is left on the clock

If it's like 30 sec~ or so, and significant time gonna be spent with the destroyer already left the orbit

Then yep, just let it run out cause it won't matter anyway and you'll still get the burst of enemy spawn

If it's like 10 minutes+ yeah might as well just call extraction, with help of stratas and reinforces to keep the enemy at bay

[bleak patrol]

That's true

But I noticed that if the timer runs out while you're not in combat, or not very close to extraction, you can just wait it out no problem

The enemies will spawn close to extraction, check it out and then leave

If they don't spot you there, that is

[bitter elk]

65% of the time they also for some reason REALLY loves to path into the nook and cranny I'm hiding in

[bleak patrol]

Last mission I spent 4 minutes chilling in the general proximity of the extraction and watched patrols go in and out

[bitter elk]

Though on the other hand if you let time run out you aren't really confined to the proximity of the extraction either way

So can just balls out and wait somewhere random

[bleak patrol]

Yes, that's the thing

Especially with +100% call-in time, you get 4 minutes to check out nearby PoIs if you want to

[bitter elk]

me rn while waiting patch note

[bleak patrol]

Minecraft

[bitter elk]

https://tenor.com/view/bond-james-name-gif-23438741

mostly to test server connection because router is a bitch

and wont let me port forward lol

[bitter elk]

aye its kinda equal risk

since if u eat shit during that time

no more coming back as well

[obsidian flame]

[bleak patrol]

To be honest, I'm wearing Heavy Armor on a hot planet and testing out new weapons at the same time. If I didn't eat shit during that 12m Blitz, I probably won't eat shit during the extra 4m extraction

I'm already fully expecting that I won't be going back anyway

[slim coral]

Its funny how

They rather shoot helldivers down into the orbit

Rather than deploy them via Eagle One

[eager cliff]

iirc Eagle One / Pelican crews and shit are the actual important crew and they are not expendable

• the reason they are called Hell DIVERS is because of being dropped into hell , it's symbolic for Super Earth

int he lore i think , they overthrew the old government just like that , they dropped Helldivers on top of the Capitol building or shit

[slim coral]

Thats kinda handy ngl

less than a week since new content was dropped

WHERE NEW CONTENT

[bitter elk]

I'm more surprised that they removed support thread in official discord lol

It's literally gone

On an unrelated note

I've been watching so much JP content my YT is thinking that I'm literally from JP lol

All my recommendations are in Japanese

Helldivers included

[obsidian flame]

looking for the Eagle 1 JP voice I see

[bitter elk]

Also yeah I have to remind myself that we did just got mech not so long ago

But then my brain counters my reasoning;

"Only one doe"

[bitter elk]

Oh I thought we found those already long ago

Sounds like almost a typical JSDF military woman almost

[twin perch]

More like looking forward some balancing touch ups

I'd like to know what the fuck is going in difficulty and not drop into a 5 to get my ass crack widened open

[clear lintel]

What is it? @bleak patrol

[bleak patrol]

Liberate Zagon Prime and Fori Prime

We have 3 days

All cool, except

Fori is locked behind Estanu and Zagon is probably locked behind Hellmire

Maybe even Nivel 43

So we actually have to liberate 4-5 planets

In 3 days

I just went back to the Automaton front as well

[twin perch]

They want us to fail lol

Coordination check

They want to see if people will dogpile planes or not

[bleak patrol]

If they wanted us to fail, they'd send us to the Automaton front

We've already proven that we can't fight them

I guess they want to see how much they can push us

We basically spedran the last bug order
