[muted fossil]

only didnt play for one month

and that was when SOTE dropped

others hd2 remains my most played game month to month

[graceful compass]

Like a universal issue with coop horde games is that the gameplay loop falls apart without constant interaction with metas and gameplay

[balmy spire]

hd2 is my most played steam game too

[muted fossil]

Except we can't have meta here c:

The community is against it

[desert lion]

tf

[muted fossil]

Which means we also cant have changing meta's xD

[graceful compass]

I’m lvl 61 and I grounded the shit out of the game to lvl 50 when it came out, then didn’t play really since psn drama. Came back only a few days ago

[muted fossil]

they are wizards

[balmy spire]

i'm fine with it

It is pve afterall

we can have everything be equal

[muted fossil]

this is bad for a game

for a massive list of reasons

[graceful compass]

This is not a great argument against balance and it’s a tired one

[balmy spire]

yeah but I doubt putting the best gun behind a paywall will do well

[muted fossil]

for one, imagine if every primary after the liberator was just a liberator but reskinned

thats what you're saying when you say everything can be equal

[graceful compass]

Well that’s half of them anyway

[muted fossil]

now

prebuff each gun sat in a neat little niche

they're still kinda in niches

but its less specalized now

[balmy spire]

I don't mean equal in gameplay, I mean equal in overall effectiveness

[muted fossil]

takes a lot of the choice of weapon out

[muted fossil]

thats the same thing

[graceful compass]

They still have their niches, but I like them being a bit more flexible

[balmy spire]

something like the eruptor is a trade off to something like the liberator because you get a huge increase in AOE but you cannot shoot anything near you

[muted fossil]

if everything is equal, everything would be a reskinned liberator, or whatever everything is balanced to

[graceful compass]

Penetrator was like my favorite but it kinda stunk for some reasons

[balmy spire]

but both are very useful in the bug front

[muted fossil]

look at how the tenderizer is incredibly good for any kind of chaff clear

[graceful compass]

It’s a shame the crossbow is just universally better than that thing

[muted fossil]

and people will tell you its trash because smaller mag and accuracy needed

[balmy spire]

yep

I dont even like the crossbow

Feels bad to use

[muted fossil]

unironically, old xbow was more fun to use than new xbow

[graceful compass]

Both do tbh, old eruptor at least was busted so the weight didn’t feel
Bad

[graceful compass]

Never got the chance to try it

[balmy spire]

equal effectiveness doesnt mean every gun needs to be the same

It just means every gun is useful to me at least

[graceful compass]

Didn’t it used to be a direct impact kinda weapon

Better against armor?

[muted fossil]

yea

xbow was small aoe and decent impact

and eruptor was bigger aoe

so one was for elite hunting and one was for chaff control

[graceful compass]

Yeah idk why they made them the same basically

[muted fossil]

I can tell you why

[graceful compass]

The difference between the two serves the game better but whatever

Rip

[eager cliff]

ayo wtf

they are giving the stuff for free now

[graceful compass]

Yeah.

[muted fossil]

its cause people complained about the guns all being unusable

[balmy spire]

I didnt use old xbow or old eruptor

I just raw dogged most my hours with the default warbond

[muted fossil]

all the niche, specialized uses of the weapons got shifted out in favor of people being able to just kinda use them all the same way

[graceful compass]

I think the eruptor shit was a bit different from the rest. Besides, I much prefer feeling like I can use some weapons without literally being unable to do certain things

[desert lion]

surprised about the guns

smg seems fun

[graceful compass]

Some specialized like eruptor vs xbow sound like they served the game better than like, the niches between 6 liberators

[muted fossil]

at the end of the day, it is, and was at that point, balanced around actually having teammates covering your weak points

which is what the squids are doing again

[balmy spire]

sniper seems very fun

[muted fossil]

sniper is so baller

the smg is bullet hose of note

[eager cliff]

that obedient coat is just crazy

[graceful compass]

What does it look like compared to the knight and defender

[muted fossil]

its rof is only slightly lower than a maxed out stalward

[graceful compass]

The smg

[balmy spire]

wasnt the eruptor nerfed to shit then buffed to a similar place to where it was

[muted fossil]

exactly like the smg from killzone

[graceful compass]

It was nerfed to shit and then made less shit but still not great

[muted fossil]

but if you want how it works, its a one handed small mag stalwart

the eruptor was bugged

then nerfed to deal with the bug

[graceful compass]

It was busted as fuck when it came out tho. Used orbital shrapnel

[muted fossil]

then buffed up to where it should have been on release

[graceful compass]

I meant stats

[desert lion]

this shit is bussing against shredding aliens

[muted fossil]

#🤖🐛🦑helldivers message

[graceful compass]

Tbh I wish it was more directional shrapnel based, like how you could use it before

[muted fossil]

yeah

but guess what

[balmy spire]

I worded my point earlier pretty badly but what I meant was to make the guns all good because they do cost real money

[graceful compass]

The knight is still ass

[muted fossil]

On one hand, yes, you're kinda right

on the other hand

I've not spent a cent on the game

[balmy spire]

I had to give in on my case because I do not have a reasonable amount of hours to spend them grinding

cause I do find it very boring

[latent zodiac]

same here

[muted fossil]

the biggest thing I see from squads tho is you can see who's watch reddits meta

and who uses what they like

[balmy spire]

i did get 2 warbonds without paying though at least

[muted fossil]

Like I'll join randoms, and there's a guy using the xbow and telling other people how its the best blah blah blah

[graceful compass]

I like it but eh

[muted fossil]

and you just watch them fail to actually hit a fab vent

its nice

its fun with a good squad comp and loadout

[graceful compass]

Yeah

[balmy spire]

i really do hate the crossbow lol

[muted fossil]

but just picking it cause someone made a video about it

[balmy spire]

it has no oomph]

[graceful compass]

I’d rather just have a weapon to get shit off of me

[muted fossil]

I can tell you why you're "burnt" out on hd2 when this is how you play it

[graceful compass]

Snipers are gas, and lib pen my baby

[muted fossil]

xbow + redeemer :P

congrats, we got our first sniper primary today

[balmy spire]

how about eruptor + redeemer

eruptor love

[muted fossil]

2nd sniper in the game

[graceful compass]

Redeemer the og shredder

But uh heavy pen revolver is going nowhere

That shit stays on

[balmy spire]

what if they make the sniper super shit because its given away for free

[muted fossil]

heavy pen revolver is such bad design

[muted fossil]

its already fire as fuck

3 round explosive medium pen?

if you can aim worth a damn its a machine

[desert lion]

he chilling

[balmy spire]

did they make a better eruotpr

eruptor

[muted fossil]

no

[graceful compass]

I mean? It’s fun as fuck

[muted fossil]

it was fun without heavy pen

[graceful compass]

But it sucked

[muted fossil]

not really

it was rad as hell

and when they gave it speedloader

it was the best ohshit button

now its just too overtuned

[graceful compass]

Before speedloader that thing booboo

[muted fossil]

yes agree

[graceful compass]

Which was the only time I used it before pen

[muted fossil]

round reload on it was too slow

but with speedload and medium pen it was fire

[balmy spire]

I'm going to try the sniper out now and tell you guys later

[muted fossil]

it didnt need anything more

[graceful compass]

Did it have med pen in the past?

I don’t remember that it did

[muted fossil]

yes

[graceful compass]

Oh well pen was weirder back then too so there’s that

I didn’t use it after they changed how armor classes worked as well. I played all before that shit

Majority of my playtime was railgun meta followed by I think autocannon/EAT

[muted fossil]

everytime I see a post trying to explain how the revolver has heavy pen, primaries should get it too

[graceful compass]

Because nothing primary/secondary could do shit to armor

[muted fossil]

I want to kill whoever made that change

[graceful compass]

Fuck no

“Constitution heavy pen pls”

[muted fossil]

I still believe I played a completely different game from a bunch of people

but then again, people still try say that teamloading is bad

too many people trying to be the main character, and not part of a squad

[graceful compass]

Only primary that “should” ever get heavy pen is an awkward ass explosive/sniper weapon like the eruptor in terms of handling and with less ammo

[graceful compass]

Team loading has always been goated

[muted fossil]

I personally dont think any non-support weapon should have heavy pen

you've got medium options on secondary and primary, as well as light

you have support weapons that cover light, medium, heavy, at

its always been possible to build loadouts that work across a team level to cover every possible threat easily

[graceful compass]

I think that the benefits granted by a “low” heavy pen primary as a super niche and difficult to wield weapon (think like the AT gun and AT sniper in battlefield 1) would be good enough to remove heavy pen from senator

Something that doesn’t do a lot of damage by any means but that “can” pen heavy

[muted fossil]

you should get rewarded for working together and building complementary loadouts, not encouraged to slide towards the same most effective solo builds that people were doing

this is why I like squids the most

all the "solo" loadouts got smacked in the face when they met mixed tactics

[graceful compass]

Squid armor hurts me physically

[muted fossil]

people relearnt the fun of playing the game near the squad

[graceful compass]

This is true and is nice

[muted fossil]

I love that the squids all wear ERA

[graceful compass]

Too bad the new wasp thing is gonna be solo meta now

[muted fossil]

wasp is only alright for walkers

and walkers used to be squid infantry in hd1

[graceful compass]

One shots the armored wardens

[graceful compass]

My favorite detail so far yeah

[muted fossil]

yeah overseers are melted by it, but its not going to help you with the upcoming boys I imagine

I love the wasp

I'll run it daily myself

but I think its in a good spot from what we could see

[graceful compass]

Wasp feels great so far wish we could use it on bugs and autos

[muted fossil]

2 mags for tripods was just enough to tell me that its not meant to deal with at

its gonna be goated for clearing the midline threats

[graceful compass]

True yeah actually it’s an anti mid armor weapon

[muted fossil]

railgun getting dethroned again!

good

[graceful compass]

Auto walkers, overseers, some light armor etc. sucks on at

[muted fossil]

I've hated railgun since the shield + breaker + railgun meta

[balmy spire]

a little underwhelming

[muted fossil]

literally saw the herald of the end times coming when people started expecting to solo everything with those 3 items

[graceful compass]

It was fun for like 6 games

[muted fossil]

I never used the meta

Shield was my crutch for learning the enemies

the moment I figured out how to fight bots and bugs on a new diff, I dropped the shield and experimented with other choices

stalwart has always been my baby

[graceful compass]

Strafing run and Gatling with stalwart supply pack

[balmy spire]

i don't know if the sniper damage is 350 counting all 3 shots or its 350 for each shot

[graceful compass]

If this loadout tells you why I’d like a niche heavy pen primary

[balmy spire]

I'm assuming its the first one because only way to kill devastators in one shot is headshotting them

[muted fossil]

350 each

[balmy spire]

well thats weird

That damage in theory should just kill devastators wherever

[muted fossil]

its possible the gun is glitched

shoot the floor

you only 50% yourself in light armor

[graceful compass]

Oh that’s weird

[muted fossil]

yeah, even scorcher one taps in light armor

[balmy spire]

definetly glitched then

i kill devastators faster using the scorcher lol

[muted fossil]

but if I shoot a medium dude with the burst they die instantly

I did it to maru

I think the explosion isn't set up properly or something

impact damage is tho, imo

[balmy spire]

i didnt see this

usually needed all bursts or two

[muted fossil]

I mean a helldiver

[balmy spire]

ah

[muted fossil]

If I shoot the wall with sniper, I take 50% damage in my light armor

I turned and shot maru, who was in medium

dead instantly

so I think the explosive damage is glitched

and impact damage is working

[balmy spire]

yeah its kinda ass right now

[muted fossil]

I like it

[balmy spire]

these smg stats

[muted fossil]

if it is glitched, just means it'll get better still :D

[muted fossil]

its a one handed stalwart

[balmy spire]

felt very underwhelming

[graceful compass]

It looks like it should be pretty good tf are you shooting? Titans?

[muted fossil]

I will say the sniper cuts through overseers

one burst to a leg, two bursts to the chest

and it charges nice and fast

[balmy spire]

devastators

No I am not hitting the shield

I shot rocket ones

[graceful compass]

Sooo you have to shoot them in the head? That’s an enemy that goes down best to precision, which this smg doesn’t seem like it would be such

The sniper tho likely has something to do about the explosive damage

[balmy spire]

I meant the sniper

the smg is good

[graceful compass]

Hm

Can’t wait to try is

[balmy spire]

the smg is actually really good I think

[muted fossil]

ngl

the sniper being a headshot machine

tracks

like yeah, thats what I expect it to be good at

[graceful compass]

[balmy spire]

Yeah but if I can't kill shit without a headshot with this evil ass big fucking sniper rifle I might aswell use the reprimand which one shots to the head aswell and doesnt need a charge up

[muted fossil]

difference there is your expected engagement range

if your playstyle usually has you in smg range, the sniper would be a bad pick for you, regardless

my only complaint about the light siege ready armor is none of the other helmets are small/narrow enough to fit its style

[balmy spire]

Do you consider the AMR a headshot machine

[muted fossil]

yes, it shines with headshots

same for the railgun

[balmy spire]

Sure but you can very easily use it without those

Same for the railgun

[muted fossil]

its best when you hit the actual weakpoint

and

[balmy spire]

you can get bodyshots and kill enemies just fine with those

[muted fossil]

both amr and railgun are support weapons

I am fine with our standard precision guns being precision guns only

[balmy spire]

If it is a headshot machine then why even make it burst fire

I dont think its meant to be that

[muted fossil]

because its from killzone

where helghast make helldivers look even more like untrained morons

[balmy spire]

I bet if I play killzone and I get that sniper I can shoot and kill enemies with bodyshots

[muted fossil]

I bet you can, because it uses cod health system

from like 2008

not armor and ballistics

[balmy spire]

but if its meant to do that

and it is from killzone

and it does what it does in killzone

And it is in helldivers 2

[muted fossil]

you're not playing killzone tho

you're playing helldivers 2

you get the ballistic mechanics of helldivers 2

[balmy spire]

and the ballistic logic of helldivers 2 says that if I am firing 3 rounds worth 350 damage that are explosive and medium armor pen I should one shot devastators

the trade off is that shooting anything besides medium or higher enemies is a waste

And the ammo count, which is fair, it is a sniper

[sacred tapir]

some fucking knuckle dragger closed the gate on a defense

on extract

and the gate bugged and wouldnt open

so i didnt extract

because he did that (like a fucking moron)

[balmy spire]

just hope this sniper gets fixed

might aswell use the diligence if its only meant to headshot

[tired pilot]

Dunno bout you guys but this setup for squids works well for me

[grizzled dagger]

https://fixupx.com/helldivers2/status/1869767486398156857 i dunno if posted yet but

[earnest stag]

its basicly a Knight just not as fast firing

[muted fossil]

this was about the sniper

[earnest stag]

ohhh

because i only looked at the SMG stats

and their basicly very close to the Knight

[muted fossil]

ye

it acts like a mini stalwart when I tried it

but I've not used the knight

the sniper is giving me happy chemicals

[balmy spire]

the smg gives me happy chemicals

[eager cliff]

ye that PP Bison smg feels nice

the 7 mags are a problem overall but with that warbond armor u get one more i think

[sacred tapir]

where helldiver smut? (usually your images are less clothed)

#iedy-goon-cave is a real channel in the server

yo i loved this gun in the actual games

the smg was peak

casual drip

honestly i really like how it looks like a trenchcoat

but its not

[balmy spire]

i like the other one

but its one billion dollars so i'm never getting it

also the smg is pretty bad vs illuminate I think but its very good vs anything else

you need to magdump the flying dudes

[valid hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/hay-money-sleep-gif-14635828

[graceful compass]

Lmao

[grizzled dagger]

its extra nice to since the second set is free

imho the weapons need tweaking

the sniper only gets 3 shots (its a burst) then needs to be reloaded

and the smg isnt really anything special

the knight holds more ammo

[valid hedge]

well if you don't have the knight...

[red jetty]

it's better than the knight since it doesn't spew bullets at mach fuck

it's more controllable

[grizzled dagger]

it can swap firerate tho iirc from semi to burst to ful

[red jetty]

yeah but using a 3 round burst on the knight is a pain

[valid hedge]

my FRV is safe

[plain bough]

They want their car

Helldiver devs trying to put out fires sony made

thanks guys

not like there's an "invite only" option or anything

[fast spindle]

we should all park outside meridia i think

[latent zodiac]

plus a crash
very cool helldivers :)
guess ill go back to space marine

fuck leveling sniper though
done with that lame shit

[valid hedge]

just unlucky

[latent zodiac]

im just trying out the amr, and as an autocannon lover
pretty nice

leaves a backpack slot open
quick ass reload
and basically the same damage as well
has anyone tried the AMR with the peak physique passive? wanna know if its as good on the AMR as it is on the autocannon

[valid hedge]

it probably works well

[valid hedge]

magic trick

well 6/7

just 1 more to defend

[latent zodiac]

just witnessed the worst map design ever, a deep lake inside of a small revine/crater in the middle of a base

i'm diving toward your location (rapidly)

where squid?

[latent zodiac]

squid gone, ass kicked

as it turns out
when you have 160+ thousand divers ready
there aint much you can fucken do

fpv is basically secured, dunno what's gonna happen when they get to the meridian black hole

man i wish my mouse wheel still worked
using the amr stuck at the 200m zoom setting is awful when there are 3 flying bastards in your face

[valid hedge]

can't you just change the control for it?

[latent zodiac]

i don't have any thumb buttons left, and would rather not have to change it right back when im just gonna get a new mouse on crimbo

haven't played in months, should i bother re-installing?

I liked summoning multiple mines at the same time

been a while

time to re-play the tutorial

Average Illuminate encounter

[bleak patrol]

The size will not intimidate me for I am a helldiver

[earnest stag]

Poor squid got the ink beaten out of him like a true Dissident

[bleak patrol]

I like how you can "disarm" them

But seriously, imagine being beaten to death by a guy that is not only half your size, but is also using a much smaller beating stick than yours

[earnest stag]

and your not even having a shield like him

[potent leaf]

okay i remembered why i loved playing this game

[plain bough]

https://tenor.com/view/i-love-it-gif-18812641

[plain bough]

I think the Plas Accelerator rifle needs a boost to damage, the Purifer just performs better in damage and ammo economy besides the range really

And single shot option

[potent leaf]

i think when i save up enough my first premium warbond will be the chemical weapons one

i vibe with it

[plain bough]

Unfortunately a bit mediocre that one

[potent leaf]

i do not care for meta

i care for vibes

and by god the vibes are immaculate

[potent leaf]

just did a mission with like 6 super credit stashes

wtf

went from 620 to this

inflammable means very able to catch on fire...

[plain bough]

You're gonna catch on fire anyway, might as well suffer less

[potent leaf]

I do love fire strats

[balmy spire]

the definetly improved handling on the frv

At least thats how it sure feels like

[plain bough]

Those tires were like a slip n slide

[balmy spire]

yeah it felt like you were riding on ice the entire time

shit had no traction at all

[valid hedge]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[valid hedge]

I Just used that fact to do sick slide turns

with handbraking

[sacred tapir]

not on squids, the one burst on jetpack fucks and overseers is fucking awesome

and its not too bad on tripods

[plain bough]

Eh maybe its just me, I'm not particularly a sniper man

[sacred tapir]

should say: "Flame-Retardant"

which is the proper name

[sacred tapir]

best part is that it also works on the hordes (to an extent)

just charge, shoot and sweep left/right should get 3-5 kills

still better to use jump pack and be rooftop gun nerd

then the voteless mean nothing, same with overseers on the floor, floaty fucks/harvesters are the only threat

[dire igloo]

how im gonna do the sony CEO and executives

[bleak patrol]

🚪

[dire igloo]

yea ill hit them with one of those

[sacred tapir]

did we win?

for now

?

[valid hedge]

i'd say so

[sacred tapir]

yippee

https://tenor.com/view/hai-gif-10567033442484308038

[bleak patrol]

We got the FRV's as stratagems so I no longer need to fight squids to satisfy my need for speed

Back to bot front I go

[plain bough]

Bots gonna get a lucky shot off that one-hit kill the FRV

[bleak patrol]

Unfortunate

Next one in 8 minutes

They won't stop me

I already deployed "Reckless Driving" tactics against bugs and even the FRV is not enough to make me like bug missions

They suck major ass, but at least I can turn them into pancakes

[valid hedge]

drive by recoilless

[sacred tapir]

dominator is fucking fun ngl

its not great bc of travel time, but damn is it fun

hits hard too so thats nice

[valid hedge]

[sacred tapir]

also nice because it 2 pops heads on lvl8+

on the light armored brood commanders

and 1 taps the regular guys

[valid hedge]

yeah

i'm just going to tell people i drive and nothing else and just stayin the car as long as possible

[balmy spire]

we need a sword sidearm

[bleak patrol]

I need a spare tire sidearm

[valid hedge]

kek

[bleak patrol]

Listen

Before you say anything

It is not my fault that a meteor storm decided to hit my parked car, ok?

It is however my fault that I hit it with a grenade 2 minutes later

[valid hedge]

i love driving

[bleak patrol]

As a heavy armor user, driving is great

[valid hedge]

so true

[balmy spire]

mechs could do with a touch up

I was thinking either a self destruct button or a rearm bay that takes up another stratagem slot

[sacred tapir]

I think they just need to gimme the hd1 tank

Mech is fine

[balmy spire]

They are fine

[sacred tapir]

All they need is a re arm

[balmy spire]

but they could be cooler

[sacred tapir]

And the emancipator needs more ammo

[balmy spire]

I'd settle for a self destruct the size of a 500kg or something

[sacred tapir]

200 rounds is NOT enough

[sacred tapir]

Eh, i think explosive seaf arti

Not a 500

Wtf are you putting in it? Explosives?

[balmy spire]

you die with it and mechs are 10 minutes wait

[sacred tapir]

So seaf explo arti would be better

[sacred tapir]

I was thinking remotely

[valid hedge]

2 people with cars

probably ideal

keep the wheels going

[potent leaf]

I love how fire gas and ems all balance eachother out

Fire = maximum damage and 0 utility
Gas = medium damage and stronger slow + confusion
Ems = no damage but basically a stun that lasts a long time

[desert lion]

i love carrying around gas grenades

[eager cliff]

Well fire 's utility is blocking off chokepoints and shit but yeah

The analysis makes sense

[potent leaf]

Gas causes infighting which is really fun

watching bugs tear eachother apart/bots shoot one another

veeery strong cc and damage combo

[muted fossil]

hucking a gas nade at anything you dont want to deal with and moving on is peak helldivers

but i do alot

[sacred tapir]

fucking hate when i play defense

and my team mates fuck off

and do nothing useful but DIE

at least then they can land on the titans and shit

but usually, they dont

like retards, i swear crayons and glue are the diet of 90% of my potential team mates

its infuriating when they drop a 380 at your feet and expect you to deal with it

or when they bring a fucking stalwart on difficulty level 8

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT?

They're just standing at extraction with the shuttle landed
as soon as I land they kick me
Their bodies dissapear and drop all samples
leave with samples, xp and medals

ok ty fellas

[potent leaf]

this game is so easy

[valid hedge]

true

thats why i gotta be on 10

i gotta ask, did you play the games?

i played them, back when my ps3 controllers actually charged, now they are broken D:

[eager cliff]

i only played the ps2 one, i think it was the 1st game

rly good for a controller game ngl

i think it was my first fps on ps2

[valid hedge]

nice

i played all of them personally

[sacred tapir]

i didnt have a ps2 :(

[valid hedge]

i did

[sacred tapir]

so i just played 2 and 3 on the ps3

still good games

[valid hedge]

not much was really missed in 1 tbh

2 is the peak

[sacred tapir]

i wish they didnt die after the 3rd, (we dont talk about shadowfall)

i want a 4th one kinda

but i feel like theyd ruin it somehow (like sony usually does)

[pale hollow]

The new vehicle really brings back life to the gameplay I feel. No longer must I slowly trod along for endless minutes of my life.

[valid hedge]

its peak but needs a way to be rolled over

[pale hollow]

I feel like losing the car is fine, the calls in are infinite and I don't mind walking every now and then.
Besides, random shit going wrong is a core aspect of the game I feel.

[bleak patrol]

The FRV can survive several salvos from rocket devas

The wheels, now that's a different story

[valid hedge]

i think it would be funny if there was a small team animation for two divers lifting it up

[bleak patrol]

Random shit going wrong is indeed a core aspect of the game

I wasn't even mad about that

the usual vibe

[potent leaf]

Since I'm in oceanania

we get mixed with a lot of asian speaking countries

so sometimes its rare to get a lobby where everyone understands eachother

but when it happens the teamwork is well gel'd

sometimes it also works with non english speakers, just using in game pings and voicelines

[potent leaf]

joined a random team, we were extracting and dude said "were gonna hit the last poi's" and got in a jeep and drove off, leaving samples at the shuttle. Me and another dude held it down until they came back

holy teamwork

[sacred tapir]

pov kevin from home alone or something idfk

[sacred tapir]

know what my favorite activity on extract is? (when theres no enemies)

its just tossing an OPS/500kg and standing beside it

and hoping i win the 50/50 on it

Airburst launcher? Atypical moment

[sacred tapir]

just got kicked for dropping 500 on pelican when EVERYONE WAS IN THE PELICAN

do they not know you cant die from anything in pelican?

unless your dickwad team mate shoots you (which i didnt)

i didnt even team kill ONCE this game

and i got kicked

i am so fucking confused by this

[graceful compass]

Tbh if I was in a mood I’d have kicked you too

The “orbital strike on exfil” shit is annoying as fuck

[graceful compass]

And unless this was patched, this is entirely false

[sacred tapir]

wym

currently, only teammates shooting your head off will kill you

in pelican

the amount of clusters ive had to toss at peli to get in before countdown is astounding

[graceful compass]

Bro has clearly never been robbed by a bile titan while in the pelican

I’ll never forget those 50 samples

[sacred tapir]

ah, well ive had them standing ON pelican and no one gets snatched

[graceful compass]

It was mid takeoff

[sacred tapir]

weird, samples are saved if you die on peli

because you carried them onto the craft

[graceful compass]

It ragdolled and the foot killed me in the cutscene and I watched them tumble back down to the planet

This was a while ago anyway

[sacred tapir]

that might be why

they probably fixed it

[graceful compass]

Maybe I didn’t notice that we actually recovered the samples because of the pure agony of watching me die and the samples drop to the ground

[sacred tapir]

also thats a ragdoll, which is much different than a LIVING titan, i feel like thats a rare circumstance

so if its not fixed, its because its not easy to have the issue

[graceful compass]

I’ve died to a living one once too, again a long time ago

[sacred tapir]

yeah nah it was fixed

[graceful compass]

Still dropping bombs at exfil gives me a headache

[sacred tapir]

i think it disables all damage but projectiles

[sacred tapir]

i just wait for everyone to get in first

never while they run in

[graceful compass]

Doesn’t matter it’s still annoying

It’s so overdone

[sacred tapir]

to you, its FUNNY to me

i mean im not a veteran

[graceful compass]

Then host ur own games

[sacred tapir]

that might explain why its not overdone to me

[potent leaf]

goodbye random citizen who couldn't type english very good

I'll always remember you

[potent leaf]

love this feature

[sacred tapir]

i prefer 450 with hmg

recoil too high otherwise

i like the low fire rates on all but stalwart

stalwart is meant to be fast, hmg is kinda slow on purpose so you can hit shit and mg is just good

i mean with mg i like the 650 one and the 900 the most

[potent leaf]

wear armor to reduce recoil when crouching/prone

then you can go up to max

very funny

[sacred tapir]

but that means i cant stand next to my 500s anymore

so no, HARD PASS

i want to 50/50 hellbombs and waste reinforcements

like Brasch intended

[potent leaf]

yes you can

dummy

[sacred tapir]

wont live

50% less isnt 100%

500s do like 10k damage or smth idk

[potent leaf]

just dive

2k damage but still

[sacred tapir]

not standing next to it at that point

i love how most peoples initial reaction to the dead sprint booster was incredibly negative, because how the hell was giving up health for a bit of sprint going to be worth it when you're getting shot at?
then it was figured out that if you just combined it with vitality, an already pretty good booster, it barely took any more health

can clear an entire D7 illuminate map in the first 10-15 minutes when using it, and it makes heavy armor bearable
