they would've been more pissed if you laser'd their asses instead

Huh?
Depends on your definition of "free".
They way you conversed with that person on the Helldivers Discord would suggest that anything that takes time/money/effort to acquire is not "free".

twin perch
#

I don't konw why that thing got nerfed honestly

#

it's good at popping heads

#

Id on't know why the fuck a laser has recaoil

#

recoil*

#

or sway

or it overheats in 2s

it also has a dogshit scope

#

Wonder whats this balancing philosophy

#

Or like how did this dude attempt to balance the weapons

#

Because i feel like if they tried to not create meta they are very much creating meta

twin perch
#

their balance philosophy was out once the breaker got nerfed and it basically was

#

"bla bla bla each weapon we have a vission, power fantasy"

#
Arrowhead Game Studios

We recently released a patch containing our first round of balance changes to Helldivers 2 and our Head of Product Testing has some valuable insight into our philosophies and practices when it comes to balancing: Hello everyone! My name is Patrik Lasota, I was the designer on the first Helldivers and am currently Head of […]

#

First I’d like to speak to the general power of primary weapons. Many have commented that they aren’t powerful enough and are unable to deal with all the enemies either by the amount of ammunition required or their raw DPS. This is very much intentional, you need to rely on your Stratagems, and the Stratagems of your team to deal with all the enemies effectively. Either by Eagle Airstrikes, Orbitals, Support Weapons, or Turrets, some of your loadout/team should be tailoring their loadout to killing the weaker stuff more efficiently.

#

I have since the game released seen many who say “Don’t Nerf, only Buff” and other similar ideas. However as a designer I can tell you this is not a great idea, but I understand where the sentiment comes from. All too often in the games industry the core fantasy, and what makes a weapon feel good and fun, is ignored for the sake of Balance. I believe players are scared of Nerfs, because it will ruin the fantasy of a weapon, ruin their fun. It is extra important to us to tread carefully so that we don’t ruin fantasy and fun when we do nerfs. We hope you, our players, will tell us when we cross that line inadvertently.

#

When we looked at the Breaker and the data we have on its usage it painted a picture of a well liked weapon that was great at killing chaff and generally had a few more kills than other weapons. It was however not necessarily better at making you succeed in a mission, and no real damage nerfs were warranted. The calculated total damage per magazine was quite high compared to other weapons however, and something that could be reigned in, while reinforcing the intended fantasy.

#

The fantasy of the Breaker is a powerful automatic shotgun that bucks wildly as you hose down targets in front of you. It should be deadly up close, with high DPS and its major drawback should be ammunition management and pacing your fire so as not to overshoot a target. To that end we have lowered the amount of shells in each magazine and increased the recoil.

also when they gonna remove the Dominator from Explosive and place it in Marksman, that shit doesn't explode at all

let me check smth

that thing has no explosive damage

not even hidden

Makes no sense, but then again the stats in this game make no fucking sense.... Because they don't fucking show them

#

Well, only gripe I have is that gyrojet projectiles are a bit slow

pale hollow
#

A fair trade-off for being one of the best weapons in the game.

#

I really hope AH does as the CEO suggested they might do on Twitter, balance with other things than damage.
Stuff like recoil, handling, bullet velocity etc.

@twin perch game sux?

latent zodiac
#

spawns are so fucking awful rn

#

D4 match, most of the fabricators are dead, just doing the last 2 tactical objectives, radar and SEAF artillery
CONSTANT STREAM

#

of rocket devs, raiders, and berserkers

#

during radar, there was 1 light base left

#

then after completing that (painstakingly) i killed the light base

#

went for seaf cannon
IT ONLY GOT WORSE?!

loud bison
#

need a rollback tbh

#

to prev version

latent zodiac
#

i completely understand them making the spawn rates linear, because that makes sense

#

1 guy gets 1/4 the spawns, 2 guys gets 2/4, and so on

#

but they MUST have changed something else

#

that or the spawns beforehand were too high to begin with

#

just a flat, all difficulty, all spawnrates, nerfed

#

and i was under the impression that if you killed all the bases, you would get less patrols, and less spawns

#

but apparently, supposedly, it just spawns more

slim coral
#

It makes no sense

#

But you can thank the guy who ruined Hello Neighbor 2

#

For like

#

Doing Sony's job for Sony

latent zodiac
slim coral
#

Again

loud bison
#

I was doing a 2 man difficulty 2 showing a friend the ropes and we could not keep up with bug patrols

slim coral
#

The dude who ran Hello Neighbor 2 to the ground

latent zodiac
#

i don't know jack shit about hello nieghbor man

slim coral
#

Is the same guy who is balancing HD2

#

He ruined Hello Neighbor 2 by gradually removing everything that made the game "fun" fun

latent zodiac
#

isn't hello neighbor the same game that constantly bugged matpat about their new updates out of desperation?

slim coral
#

Yeh

latent zodiac
#

huh

slim coral
#

Because of Alex Kravchenko btw

#

The same guy who balance and do NPC, gameplay change in Helldivers 2

#

The same guy who drove nearly all weapons to the ground

#

He changes most of the stuff because he feels like he is doing the right thing apparently

#

Just read a lot of steam comments and video about how Hello neighbor 2 failed

latent zodiac
#

i think he's ginger to

#

i would be angry as fuck and want to ruin everyone elses fun as well if i looked like that man

#

really hoping that the CEO cracking down on the nerfs and shitty balance comes through, and a new structure for balancing is created
https://youtu.be/d4GKT4EYGDk?si=Vv8msyailaV4NxYQ

The CEO is Saving Helldivers 2 and recognizes that what made the game fun isn't as easy to find like it once was. I hope the meetings around balance are focused on making weapons enjoyable & viable while looking at what's working right now that players want to use as a blue print to bounce idea's around.

the only thing of value was the smg

slim coral
#

The pistol is cool

inland vessel
#

I'm actually enjoying the first battle pass

#

The Jar is the closest thing I could get to a bolter so I'm enjoying the shit out of it

#

The reg support weapons are fun too, mag dumping an hmg into the underside of a strider never gets old

eager cliff
inland vessel
#

They really need to fix the fire DoT and make recoilless a lil more viable tho

slim coral
#

I thought Recoiless is pretty viable

#

Unless they nerfed it a patch before

inland vessel
#

Eh it's aight but compared to the railgun, the quasar, the expendable at and the autocannon

slim coral
#

I mean quasar got nerfed to kingdom come already

inland vessel
#

Each of these weapons serves a purpose, has a role, and frankly does what the RR does better imo

slim coral
#

Auto cant pen heavier armor

#

Recoiless can spend 5 shots before out

#

RR offer raid firing

#

Rapid*

#

You can shoot 4-5 rounds in matter of minute

inland vessel
#

That's not that fast my friend

slim coral
#

It is

inland vessel
#

Then we disagree.

slim coral
#

I guess

#

But it does have cool gimmick on its own

inland vessel
#

I just feel it's kind of an underwhelming jack of all trades.

#

It's gimmick is great but uh...never get to use it

#

No one wants to wear the backpack 😔

slim coral
#

Tbh

#

I think since airburst is out

#

RR does indeed get overshadowed more

inland vessel
#

Airburst is not all that great but God damn is it fun

slim coral
#

Wanna bet that the god forsaken guy in HD will nerf it to kingdom come

#

Since he already made Polar Patriot near unusable

inland vessel
#

Eh, let's not be negative since the player base is already breathing down the devs throat

slim coral
#

Well cant be negative if its a fact

inland vessel
#

Well he hasn't nerfed it...yet

slim coral
#

Hope it stayed that way

inland vessel
#

Yeah, though I'm def gonna enjoy doing my goofy ass build till that's dead too

slim coral
#

Dont like the guy doing balance

#

He drives all good things to the ground

inland vessel
#

Bubble shield, 380, Ballistic Shield, and an HMG

#

All heavy armor and a jar 5 w/ revolver and impacts

I always run flamer

Ever since they fixed the server tick its so good

#

Now I can kill berserker pretty quick w it

I need to get the boys together

All flame all jetpacks

I am running Scythe, Peacekeeper, Thermite, Napalm and flamer

I run scythe for the funny

inland vessel
#

Scythe is the laser right?

#

Or is it the sickle

slim coral
#

Yeh the laser

#

The worst gun in game

inland vessel
#

I admit most primaries feel like shit that one esp

slim coral
#

Well yeh

#

The patch nerfed nearly all primaries

inland vessel
#

Lemme see the notes

slim coral
#

It was straight ass

#

I think they buffed a bit

#

But now they ruined the game because for some reasons destroying factories makes bot spawn more

#

Like heh?

inland vessel
#

The one 12 days ago?

#

That's fuckin weird

#

I thought the balance change to make the game harder solo was fuckin stupid

#

Like why TF you punishing people who want to play just with a couple friends or run it solo

the dude who balance this game balances in a way that he views the game as "Fun"

the rockets are but they also burn super fast

#

coilgun and heavy AC supremacy

heavy heart
#

I do wish that the sub weapons don't end up rolling back to coils and rails.

#

short of adding actively broken mod turrets, the flexibility of coils and raw damage of rails end up being just more useful.

twin perch
#

and I'm like

#

"yeah idk, flak with explo and coilguns with Phys ammo"

#

ends up being my default load

#

if I run "broken" mods like EK, it basically boils down to "Extended Hybrid coilgun ammo" an "Extended Flak"

#

APHE Heavy Caliber doesn't care if you're a B Moloch

heavy heart
#

I run EK when solo, but I tend to just abuse the suits and extended versions of the normal rounds.

#

Extended piercing is often my go to

twin perch
#

but I kinda can't

#

because AC doesn't have extended versions

#

while Coilguns I can slap an Extended AP like you said lol

#

and bots aren't the best at aiming so they do dump 50% of their shots into the void

#

Also logistics are so much easier if you stick to 1-2 gun types tops

heavy heart
#

Is a shame, I'd like more encouragement to use different guns

#

Ah well,

#

Maybe helldivers can manage to make all the naff guns worthwhile

#

so I can get my variety fix.

#

I have absolutely nothing to do

and gun/patrol state doesn't make me want to play

light nymph
twin perch
#

1 to 3 players get same as 4 players

#

That's the only bit that annoys me

#

People are also starting to realize that blowing fabricators brings in "more" enemies

#

in patrols (but they spawn at the edges of the amp"

light nymph
#

huh, the ammount of patrols seemed fine to me in a 3 stack. Tho playing and coordinating with others might be mitigating the annoyance somewhat

#

when you got a group that you've been playing with for years, it's kind of easy to let the others do their roles properly

#

I wonder if that's why me and my friends have little issue using what ever weapons we want

#

probably

#

might need a new perspective

twin perch
#

because you can make anything work

#

unlike playing alone or with 3 randoms

light nymph
#

the thing is, we don't try to make anything work. We just pick what ever and play with that... I guess it's just that we do communicate somewhat and we support each other

#

and thinking back to when I do play solo, I tend to adjust my build to fit the team AND I'm constantly on comms even if I am the only one...
There are still some issues at team play, but it was never bad. Kind of reinforces my view that the game was designed and maybe balanced by a team that is constantly communicating with each other ingame

#

too bad that the vast majority of players tend to not communicate so much

twin perch
#

Well, ideally you'd balance for both

#

and you could also be evil and add premade difficulties

heavy heart
#

I'd argue that you should balance so that for higher difficulties you need a premade with comms.

light nymph
heavy heart
#

Well, good coordination

#

but I'd say at a push, 7 should be the highest you could get away with being a disorganised mess

light nymph
#

I kind of hope they do buff the guns to a more fun sate, but also buff the enemies a bit then

twin perch
#

Yeah that's about right

#

I can do a 7 with 3 deadweights dying to a detection tower

twin perch
#

Decrease elite spam, or make guns baseline medium pen

#

or nerf enemy HP and just make guns slightly more niche

light nymph
twin perch
#

Except bugs don't really have one

#

Most of the time

#

and Bots have it but it's annoying to hit or needs AP

also, I've been killing every Devestator quite easily by shooting him in the face or torso

Devas aren't tough enough to flinch.

#

If you shoot them in the head, they die in like... 3 smg rounds

light nymph
#

untill you kill them that is

#

also @twin perch incase you didn't know, they buffed the Thermite grenade to actually work now, It's pretty good vs heavies

What might have happened is that its counting everyone in the squads EXP

Or, since there is less? Players its adjusted

At best I've gotten only 6 on similiar ops

#

Would you recommend this game?

#

cuz I've heard something about the server stability being a nightmare and nProtect bricking PCs or some shit

earnest stag
#

Servers are fine after launch now

#

bricking PC´s is new to me ?

low acorn
#

something about nProtect being equivalent to malware

#

idk if it's true

#

stuff like this

earnest stag
#

Its the usual "mehhhh denuvo mehhh this and that" crying

#

its the same people that cry about "muhhh privacy" but post their pictures and food everywhere on social media

#

The only thing i agree with an anti cheat doesnt require kernel access

#

and thats the problem with nProtect i think

#

though i dont really know if it has kernel access

raw folio
#

It does.

low acorn
#

and is that a problem?

earnest stag
#

Yeah for security reasons.

raw folio
#

It's just another security vector that's worse than most

earnest stag
#

in the case if an hacker gets access they can get your data BUT that can happen in 10000000 other cases too

#

it would be easier to just hack your PC instead of hacking that companies servers and gaining access to tools which actualy has people being payed for security

or steam scam you

He got like 900 Mail over night after that

#

they tried to access all his accounts but 2 factor kept them

#

he was lucky they had no ways of breaching 2 factor for any of them

and plenty of good hackers can breach them

2 factor does stop the less...dedicated/resourceful ones

Do you know Klarna ?

#

Like that paying service

raw folio
#

isn't that some weird ass finance thing?

earnest stag
#

im getting non stop SMS with veryfying codes since 3 months cause someone is using my Number to try getting something

#

im not even using Klarna

#

i called them to block my number and they didnt lol

#

i just blocked the Klarna bot myself and fast forwarded it to police

#

So if i get any shit in regards of bills or anything im safe

#

The worst thing is you dont even have to do anything,you will just randomly start receiving that shit

raw folio
#

but yeah my tl;dr on kernel is
Is it necessary? no.
Is it a risk? Yup just like everything else I install.
Do I get why games are putting it in? Yup.

#

Do I like that they are? No.

earnest stag
#

last is what i dont get

#

i dont get why they put it in

#

since you dont need kernel access to detect any cheats

#

They just need to implement some easy file checks

raw folio
# earnest stag i dont get why they put it in

When the realization that management doesn't know jack shit and forces decisions like this often hit me I stopped questioning stupidity, because I could never logically understand the source.

earnest stag
#

Ahhh yeah good

raw folio
#

More likely than not some idiot up in management for publishers went "Oh this is the new hotness for security in games lets have the dev put in something kernel level while also not allocating additional funding to it" while IT bashed their head into the walls because their words went in one ear and out the other.

twin perch
#

Nprotect crying?

#

I would say it's sorta useless since it's been shown how hard it gets bypassed

#

The one thing i've heard about it's a resource hog, which is a bit shit

unique oxide
# raw folio When the realization that management doesn't know jack shit and forces decisions...

Imagine, you have a system that is not fully tested to be used in production.

You are a manager and have a choice to make.
Start up the experimental system on the night shift when the IT is not in the office.
Start up the experimental system next day when IT is in the office and can offer support with it when something breaks down.
Wait for it to be finished and tested before using it.

Guess what happened and why I had to drive into the plant at almost midnight.

Managment is terrible no matter where you are. Oh yes lets leave the important decision to people who dont understand the stuff.

the update tomorrow better be good

twin perch

If there is one

plain bough
#

then the week after should be the promised spear fix(doubt)

twin perch
#

(doubt)

#

They would have to make it 1 tap tanks amd chargers

plain bough
#

at the very least, superior packing works so no more hogging all the resupply

main hatch
twin perch
main hatch
#

that would be a lil busted considering its a missile that guides itself in after lock, honestly i think its damage is pretty respectable where its at

#

if you make it one shot chargers then chargers literally arent one bit of an issue which honestly would take a bit of the fun out of having to juke the hell out of them

#

if they improved its lock on i think itd be in a lot better spot altho upping the damage a slight bit so i dont have to ocassionally waste 3 on a hulk would be nice but more often than not it just bonks the hulks

main hatch
twin perch
#

No CQC

#

Long Reload

#

Lock On

#

It's not in the "EAT/Recoiless/Quasar" Trinity

#

It's also a building buster

main hatch
twin perch
#

It is very much a specialist weapon that should get the specialist treatment anyhow

main hatch
#

honestly it already has it, you use it on chargers and bile titans, hulks, tanks and factory striders aswell as factories

#

i currently see no problem with it aside for the lock on being more sketchy than the war thunder forums

#

and i personally find hte funi javelin fwoosh to be fun, its also been incedibly useful to knocking out BT's before they are an issue or factory striders, tanks and hulks, altho chargers are honestly easy AF to kill in general

heavy heart
#

If Spear could actually lock consistently, it'd be good.

main hatch
#

yes

#

thats what ive been saying

heavy heart
#

It's alright it needing a little thought to have full effect.

#

Although it appeared utter dogshit vs factory striders

main hatch
#

honestly tho one spear in a team is a huge help

heavy heart
#

Nah,

#

not enough ammo, too inconsistent.

main hatch
#

im just shrimply better IG

heavy heart
#

Nah, we just can aim

#

So folks with RRs are more useful.

main hatch
#

everytime i use the spear the bile titans dissapear

main hatch
#

more than even the pre nerf qaesar IMO (i dont care if i spelled it right)

heavy heart
#

can't say I've had that myself. Usually when things are "Clutch" distance it's too close for spearing.

#

Quasars are nice if you have a bunch of them, but tbh, RR will forever be king.

#

RR and autocannons.

main hatch
heavy heart
#

Why are you across the map?

main hatch
#

because we usually split in two groups to save time, it works

#

and also just blitzkrieging bases is fun

heavy heart
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

If we split it's usually a non-com and a party of three.

#

Because stealth OP,

main hatch
#

ah, we split cuz we have a team of 4 bumbling dipshits that all can hold their own solo on 7's so we just say fuck it, lets save time

#

TBF all the support weapons are useful in their own way

#

altho i will forever hate the stalwart but thats just me

heavy heart
#

I disagree heavily on that.

#

Several support weapons still suck a lot of the time.

main hatch
#

give an example plz

heavy heart
#

HMG,

main hatch
#

shit you right

heavy heart
#

Which is still just not as good as the basic HMG or Stalwart

#

Railgun is still pretty medicore, even after it's buff I seriously question why it exists.

main hatch
#

the HMG is really the only one then, i kepe forgetting thats a weapon

main hatch
heavy heart
#

It's just a slightly worse AMR or autocannon.

main hatch
#

i personally suck with it

heavy heart
#

with more risk of self harm for less effect.

main hatch
#

the risk of self harm makes it funny for emo's to use

#

it has komedy effect

heavy heart
#

I mean, it does help with darwinism.

main hatch
#

yes it does

#

honestly tho even the mediocre weapons arent bad, just really not worthy of being a support weapon

heavy heart
#

Grenade launcher is also pretty meh, I used to be on the fence, but now I'm very much in the "Just autocannon".

main hatch
#

i do disagree with that

#

maybe for bugs, but for bots the grenade launcher chews threw devestators

heavy heart
#

so does the AC, but the AC does it further, chews through every target you encounter and gets more ammo to boot.

main hatch
#

everytime ive used it ive gotten triple the amount of kills of my team

main hatch
#

and if you are like me and throw yourself into a horde of yes amount of enemies it can just wipe them

#

the blast radius is a lot more than the autocannon too so for all those crunchies it just mops em up

heavy heart
#

AC has less splash, which makes it less helpful vs bug hoards.

#

but the last thing you generally need your support weapon to do is chew through chaff.

main hatch
#

thats why i use it for bots

#

it takes care of devestators so my team isnt getting flung around by rockets and getting raped by heavies

#

its a "ill kill crunchies so yall can kill the things that actually matter"

heavy heart
#

I just shoot them in the big glowy bit ¯_(ツ)_/¯

main hatch
#

plus the mobility it gives you is so nice

main hatch
#

thats where ive found most of my success atleast, for bugs i just use the big iron

heavy heart
#

AMR is my choice for "light" bot hunting weapons.

main hatch
#

i can see that

heavy heart
#

AMR + Jump pack is quite funny.

main hatch
#

yes it is, very similar to jump pack and GL, both are good in their own little ways and are better for certain players

heavy heart
#

I've never really needed more dev killing power, there's just so many things that chew through them

main hatch
#

honestly i just like being able to kill them before they even get the chance to react hence why big iron

heavy heart
#

But things like hulks, striders, tanks, get problematic en mass, so something good for quickly removing them

#

#unnerfslugger.

#

Slugger stunlocking devs was so much fun.

main hatch
#

honestly hulks are fun to kill, my answer is big iron, tanks are scary but way too easy to kill, throw a couple greandes and it be good

main hatch
#

even if its stun isnt as good as it used to be

heavy heart
#

Buckshot always needed you to clip the face,

main hatch
#

which i always aim for the face lol

heavy heart
#

which is unfortunate, means coming up behind them is actively detrimental

#

and if you're going for face, just shoot to kill.

main hatch
#

thats why you throw a grenade at that thick automoton ass

main hatch
heavy heart
#

Sure, I can solve that issue with grenades.

#

if I want to run the same god damn loadout every fucking time.

main hatch
#

every problem is solvable with enough grenades

heavy heart
#

I fucking hate impacts

main hatch
#

i love em TBH

heavy heart
#

they're dumb as fuck

#

shit at being grenades

#

but op as fuck against random shit they shouldn't be.

main hatch
#

not if you are good with grenades which i am, they really do promote an absolute blitzkrieg style of gameplay tho

heavy heart
#

I just flat ignore their existence because they ain't fun.

main hatch
#

fair, honestly for most people they just arent it but ive found them to be insanely good

heavy heart
#

they don't promote blitzkrieg, they promote being dumb and drinking all the supplies.

#

I've met exactly 1 person who doesn't like impacts.

#

they're stupidly good.

main hatch
#

thats why i only worry about rsesuplying when my actual ammo or stims is low, not grenades, grenades are a tool which i dont care about if its used up

heavy heart
#

their literal only weakness is the fact they suck at popping fabs/holes.

main hatch
#

oh dude nah they dont you just gotta throw it at the right spot, cant remember the last one i didntt destroy with a singular grenade

heavy heart
#

due to being impact, if something spawns in the hole, or your too close to the fab, you get jebaited which is funny for the spectators.

main hatch
#

just shrimply a krill issue on the users part there then

heavy heart
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

requiring the right spot vs requiring to be in vaguely the right place, is a downgrade for that.

main hatch
#

just master the art of fucketh around and findeth out and FFS this is a PSA to everyone: GET GOOD WITH GRENADES

heavy heart
#

Might as well declare the laser cannon the absolute best gun cause it can kill everything if you get the right spot.

main hatch
#

ive personally gotten more success out of impacts than normal frags TBH

heavy heart
#

I use smoke for bots, incendaries for bugs.

main hatch
#

cant time the frags worth a fuck in that game, which is a skill issue on my part

heavy heart
#

Unless I'm running a primary I want an actual sidearm with, and have no other sources of explosions.

main hatch
#

also for fabs thats why i have spear and airstrike, as for bug holes i just kill everything so my team can get them

#

honestly the best way to run impacts is to be your teams damage hose

heavy heart
#

everyone plays damage hose.

#

It's usually the last thing to bother looking at.

main hatch
#

yeah but having one person specificall dedicated PURELY for damage can make a huge difference

heavy heart
#

No like

#

I have seen very few folks not dedicate to damage output.

#

It's almost like DPS is the most popular role in any multiplayer game.

main hatch
#

seems i have a group of people with brains then TBH, cuz they go for tank busting and nest destroying and let me focus solely on killing power

heavy heart
#

if you double down, you just end up sucking all the supplies up and being detrimental to the team while getting big numbers

main hatch
#

like they prefer a bit more armor pen so they can kill armored enemies easier over way more DPS

main hatch
#

only taking one pack to get stims and thats it

heavy heart
#

Well yeah, efficient weapons are great.

#

Punisher and revolver are not dps guns though,

main hatch
#

tell that to my kill count lol

#

just mow through hordes like its nothing, have my spear for big shit

heavy heart
#

I mean, go nuts? that doesn't change them being less DPS orientated than their alternatives.

#

Breaker and redeemer, would be "lul dps"

main hatch
#

eh, honestly for me they work perfectly

#

they fit my playstyle of being fast and killing faster to a T

heavy heart
#

Sure, I like them both, punisher is probably my go to gun for bugs,

#

but it ain't fast, it's efficient.

main hatch
#

its fast for me lol

heavy heart
#

I guess you transcend reality, and have a rapid fire punisher.

main hatch
#

by fast i mean fast killing, which means less time shooting more time running further into the horde and pushing it back

main hatch
heavy heart
#

It does a few good breakpoints on medium enemies,

#

But it's bloody slow for chaff.
