[sacred tapir]

have any of you used wasp?

i have, and its like ez mode

aims for you, as long as they arent too close

like 20m away at closest, any closer it misses

[potent leaf]

Yeah wasp is cool

[sacred tapir]

feel like nat geo, error in its natural habitat

[potent leaf]

one shot for weaker foes

or a cluster for a tougher baddy

also has good aoe

[sacred tapir]

i like it because nostalgia

cluster is worse for tougher tho?

less armor pen

[potent leaf]

Like i unloaded a mag of wasp into a charger and it killed 8 bugs in total around him

Cluster is a huge aoe

but less armor

but you can oneshot with cluster on chargers if you aim under their stomach from the front

it requires more aiming and is worse for armor but fantastic at big patrol/crowd clearing

[sacred tapir]

i just thermite chargers

also i play squids more

bugs are meh

[potent leaf]

Also cluster can blow up spore and shriekr nests from a distance with 1 shot

it's fun

you can also blow up imaplers by aiming under their mouth when they're not burrowed

[sacred tapir]

the wasp basically drops squids 2 difs

easily

harvesters are an issue, but guess what, team mates can kill them XD

[narrow trout]

terrifying

[sacred tapir]

[eager cliff]

[earnest stag]

[eager cliff]

Ok so fine , it's the Illuminate

But what if we actually sent the mutated bugs as well somewhere else where they evolved like crazy and now they will return as well

[earnest stag]

Hell no

[plain bough]

A supercolony sent somewhere else in time + Illuminate, surely they won't deploy some modified bugs on the battlefield

[potent leaf]

The illuminate sent a bunch of rag-tag scouts and shitty recon units and we still got a good fight out of it

them sending in their actual army they've been building up this whole time is gonna be

a slaughter

also wasp launcher has two firing modes fun fact

Silly mode and Sillier mode

[sacred tapir]

i love that the wasp is like a bitch slap to elevators

mfs get hit and go fucking FLYING

same with regular overseers

you know i was concerned that the killzone armor passive wasnt that good
but after using it for a while its really neat

[plain bough]

Perfect for every occasion and with drippy

[sharp kindle]

yeah like you can take it to every front without much issue

sure its not a great specialized pick but its a solid all rounder

[plain bough]

Dang, got kicked just as I dropped in, why they took so long if they didn't want people to join lol

[sharp kindle]

i want to like it
but
travel time

[plain bough]

travel time is fine, its just it's lackluster compared to the Purifier

it's got better ammo economy, has an AoE and does more damage on charged shots

[sharp kindle]

cant use it on squid front atm

and i dont feel like taking a sniper to bugs

[narrow trout]

it works great on overseers

just not good on voteless

[sharp kindle]

yeah but current squid planet debuff is not being able to see beyond 5m

why even try

[narrow trout]

democracy needs no eyes to achieve victory

[light nymph]

@eager cliff in an elavator with any woman ever

[bleak patrol]

I personally don't find it to be a good pick for any front

Simply because of the burst fire

[sharp kindle]

ammo economy seems
very very off

[bleak patrol]

You only get to fire 3 times per mag and you get 9 mags

It is strong

[pale hollow]

I find it can be used on the Automaton front, but nowhere else, at all.

[bleak patrol]

But not worth it

[bleak patrol]

I did use it on clankers but it was still a bad idea

[pale hollow]

Yeah, for most things the CS is a better pick

Against gunships it seems like a decent pick though

[bleak patrol]

I did the "smart" thing of picking it together with a lance

Well, I didn't die

Because the lance carried my ass

But it was probably the worst loadout I ever dived with

[sharp kindle]

[bleak patrol]

It's also the worst loadout I used and survived to tell the tale simply because the lance counters berserkers

Oh, and I rammed a devastator with a car while going pretty fast

It survived

And the FRV seems to be more durable than the mechs

Except the wheels

But who needs those

[hasty sandal]

chat where do I get exactly 15 super credits

[sharp kindle]

pick up 2 credit stashes

[dire igloo]

B4 i get the game how much are warbonds and like how does unlocking new weapons and shit work cause my friend did a shit job at explaining it

Warbonds like 8 pounds he says which is im guessing 10 bucks, what abt weapons doe

[plain bough]

What weapons you talking about

[dire igloo]

Like just in general

[hasty sandal]

unlocking a warbond is 1000 super credits

[dire igloo]

How much fun can i have without purchasing warbonds

[dire igloo]

Premium currency or can i earn it

[hasty sandal]

both

your can earn it without giving a cent

[dire igloo]

Thats nice

Just wanted to know those, i will be getting the game around january 1st

[plain bough]

The free warbond which everyone get since the beginning is pretty good

You basically get most of the weapons you need but it takes quite alot of medals to unlock it all

[dire igloo]

How you earn medals? Is it daily quests

[plain bough]

Daily quests once everyday for 15 medals, and doing missions with increasing rewards for both missions completed and difficulty

[hasty sandal]

medals are basically given by everything

sometimes a major order gives a bunch

[dire igloo]

Thanks for answering all my questions

[plain bough]

places of interest has medals at times too, 1-3

[dire igloo]

Now i wont look at this channel till i get the game

as much as this hurts my soul, i knew it sounded familiar somehow

[slow falcon]

YEAH

[sacred tapir]

you managed that at lvl 12?

did you get carried?

[slow falcon]

No

the LVL 65 died more than i died i did die 4 times tho!

I ran the medic armor and a booster pack

used the 380 to clear most things

[sacred tapir]

i actually dont think ive played 9 or 10, because 8 on bots was bad enough

the one time i tried 9 was miserable

[slow falcon]

The purple fucks aint that bad

[slow falcon]

If you got a solid team and dont fuck around you will be fine

[sacred tapir]

but like

fucking around is half the fun

i dont wanna lock in on 10 when i could fuck off on 7

and piss around doing dumb shit

like tossing a 500 at my feet and standing ON it hoping to win the 50/50

cant afford to lose that life on 10 when all lives are almost required

[slow falcon]

Oh dude i still fuck around while also locking in

[sacred tapir]

takes more brain power, end of discussion

[slow falcon]

[sacred tapir]

if i cant take some goofy shit into the mission and it works well enough i dont get into a death loop, im not having fun

as in, i should be able to bring airburst on a bug mission and have it work well (not on 10 where chargers are more common than anything else)

im not 100% sure thats how bad it is but still

[slow falcon]

Airburst my beloved

[sacred tapir]

its fun

and basically a portable eagle cluster

its not fps, its not refresh rate

i dont know

it takes like 4 expendables to kill 1 of them

Eat the unarmoured section that connects the legs to the body

i keep saying that

the jetpack guys especially

dude their armor is TOO GOOD for the type of unit they are

[dire igloo]

and maybe u can kill 1

[hasty sandal]

[dire igloo]

the energy weapon is worse than the smg

against illuminates

good to know

[hasty sandal]

its good against bots tho

i think

[dire igloo]

yea it is

cus i can rock it w a shield

[heavy sinew]

POV : You're overseer trying to hit me with this brazilian jujitsu spinning kick bullshit but I have grenade launcher

[sacred tapir]

this is just me when i use the recoiless rifle

which yes i do use it on overseers from time to time

and it does one shot (obviously)

[dire igloo]

okay so

the huge cannon turret works for the dumb walkers

and the uh disposable rocket launcher with 4 shells

we just came up with something devious to run as a duo

[valid hedge]

i'm open for illuminate 10 dives if anyone wants to play with me

[heavy sinew]

meanwhile autocannon only 1shots them to the head otherwise its 3 shots to the body

[valid hedge]

have you tried the reprimand tho fr.

[sacred tapir]

yeah thats weird but idk its fine ig

you get 10 rounds and the head is not that small

its also an autocannon so big range

[sacred tapir]

i did, found it kinda mid

its not good for voteless, recoil is same as adjudicator (ass) and id have a better time with the lib pen

[valid hedge]

i simply disagree because if you are doing controlled fire it really shows its strengths

also i run it with more ammo and fast reload armor

[heavy sinew]

why tf ya'll even take med pen weapons to illuminate

[valid hedge]

wtf you mean

overseers get clowned

and you can still kill harvester

[sacred tapir]

because light pen weapons are a joke

but they aint funny how bad they are

[dire igloo]

I have never had better teamwork in the 15 hours I have played the game for @hasty sandal

[hasty sandal]

sadly I must leave you now

[hasty sandal]

i was gonna finnish up now aswell

[dire igloo]

for cs2 calls me to do the weekly so I can get 60 cents

[hasty sandal]

[dire igloo]

that was so fucking fun

that loadout mix

WALKERS CANT DO SHIT

THE METHODDDD

[hasty sandal]

the goat

[sacred tapir]

the method

wtf is it

[plain bough]

the starter MG support weapon is perfect for harvesters

[sacred tapir]

"Harbester"

👍

[plain bough]

Guess I fat fingered that one

[sacred tapir]

thats their new name

also its not perfect, i find RR better

or AMR

railgun takes about 4-5 shots, 6 if you count shield generator

[dire igloo]

basically

the reloadable 1 shot rocket launcher

it 1 shots them

most of the time

then I go resupply pack and anti tank turret plus normal turret

i take the resupply and slouchie wears the reload backpack

he reloads me i reload him

he takes a bunch of orbitals and strikers

[sacred tapir]

Oh so just some shit that commisar kai would cook up

Thats a basic team work strategy

[hasty sandal]

tbh someone else taking the backpack for a heavy weapon and tag teaming = good strategy

[heavy sinew]

bruh wtf is wrong with this game since illuminate release, every match mid-game everyone freezes and it disconnects me

[plain bough]

Illuminate matches is doing that, a known issue that's to be rectified in the future

[heavy sinew]

ye but I mean EVERY match

[balmy spire]

My new favorite loadout is going ballistic shield with the stun spear

Makes me feel like a spartan

[potent leaf]

omg it's kim

say the line kim

[heavy heart]

HMG solves all illuminate problems.

[sacred tapir]

my eagle is dying rn i basically ONLY use eagles

airstrike/strafing run + cluster + 500kg/sometimes i use OPS instead + support item

[potent leaf]

give her a break damn

[sacred tapir]

theyre lucky if i use OPS

otherwise shes overworked

i mean i give them drugs so like they should stop complaining

also am i the only one who loves that the slugger is better than the diligence CS?

sure it shoots slower, but it hits like a sledgehammer in return

uugghhhhhhhhh

this guy brought MINES AND TESLA TOWERS

im gonna die

so many times

we almost failed, but the guy with chinese/asian characters (im dumb ok) in their name clutched up

the other 2 were fucking around doing nothing, shoving fingers in their ass (idk what they were doing) while me and the asian guy did objective

they really want a planet called "choohe"

[dire igloo]

[valid hedge]

do you guys think we will complete the order fast enough to defend choohe in time?

the defense of RD-4 is at 7hr at this time

[hasty sandal]

most likely

once rd-4 is done, people will get the major order and then go back to bots

as long as squids dont invade again

[valid hedge]

(they will probably)

[hasty sandal]

as long as martale gets liberated in time, im happy

all things considered we might loose choohe

[sacred tapir]

working on FF warbond now

want the pop tart armor

because its silly looking

[high hornet]

I love the FRV

[sacred tapir]

Also can i point out that these squids are the descendants of the ones from the first war, and growing up they were told of the horrors of fighting helldivers from the survivors of the war, and now to come face to face with a helldiver must be fucking terrifying for them, especially when this helldiver (that is about 1 foot shorter than you) pulls out a stick and beats the shit out of you in front of your friends

(Yes i made a wall of text, i was bored)

[valid hedge]

i also love my FRV

it has all my diving buddies in it

im in vc with him

when it matters a lot

braindead ass dude

[dire igloo]

hes the one who said d9 instead of d8

thats why we were on d9 to begin with

[hasty sandal]

[plain bough]

Gawdamn, he's worth only 15 kills per life

2 of my grenades are worth more than him lol

[dire igloo]

we dont die here

[dire igloo]

reached lvl 25 now there is officially nothing for me to get anymore

gg

[valid hedge]

looks at friendly fire damage

i sure wonder why he died

[dire igloo]

that shits innacurate as fuck anyways

I counted the times I killed my teammates

i killed slouchie once

and he walked into one of my hellbombs early in the mission

thats it

[valid hedge]

lolmao

[dire igloo]

he also prob walked into my auto cannon

wouldnt be surprised

auto cannon turret taking his head off

[sacred tapir]

That aint shit, ive gotten 3000 with only 2 accidental

[valid hedge]

friendly fire is 0 for me everytime unless i need to preform a summary execution

good idea

[bleak patrol]

You killed him twice

[dire igloo]

No I played with slouchie
I killed slouchie once with wasp artillery on accident and then this idiot walked into a air strike when I said I am air striking and then threw it on the floor

[bleak patrol]

So you did kill friendlies twice

Remind me not to play with you

[dire igloo]

It was difficulty 9 bots so

Bound to happen

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1180332717540397069/1284118781706240092/tempfilew.gif

[bleak patrol]

Nope

[dire igloo]

This dude still did die 10 other times on his own accord

[bleak patrol]

And?

[dire igloo]

L rage bait

Go next

[bleak patrol]

You play with randoms, you get people who die 10 times

[dire igloo]

Thats not a random

Thats my friend who i was in vc with

[bleak patrol]

Then why are you complaining

You don't seem like a good friend

[dire igloo]

Cause he was arguing with me after the mission abt how I didn't do enough

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749799445478244393/1265479387571159182/crackbert.gif

[bleak patrol]

Maybe you didn't

Maybe you are the reason he died 11 times

[dire igloo]

Im pretty sure when you are asked 18 times if you can take diff 9 robots you should respond honestly

[bleak patrol]

Diff 9 bots aren't even hard

[dire igloo]

Hence why he died 10 times

[bleak patrol]

I don't see the connection

How about you grind some bitches under the wheels of your FRV

[potent leaf]

[hasty sandal]

holy moly light armour thats basically medium armour

[pale hollow]

Driving through a sandstorm in a beaten up FRV with 0 visibility and a dream, while getting shot at by automatons sure hits different

[dire igloo]

@hasty sandal goodbye vro

[bleak patrol]

Not as good as you think since you're missing out on an actually useful passive

[raw folio]

Been using that since it first showed up, love that armor

[dire igloo]

What're the armors that have melee boost in the game, saw theres a light one in the viper warbond

Any other?

[valid hedge]

also a heavy in the same bond

[dire igloo]

Perfect.

[plain bough]

there's a medium set in the store that comes around in rotation with the passive

[dire igloo]

As all things should be.

I love wearing heavy armors

Now I need another 1k super credits to unlock viper fit

I got the stun baton warbond cause i wanted funni melee weapon

[dire igloo]

Gonna be rocking the shield plus stun baton plus something one handed that do shit ton of damage

[valid hedge]

i stick to heavy armor now since i drive

[dire igloo]

I just don't see the disadvantage of wearing heavy armor when I can equip my secondary and just run fast

Its all postives

Besides for the fact you get juggled like mad when theres multiple enemies

[plain bough]

Mostly bugs is not where you wanna wear heavy

[dire igloo]

I take jetpack on bugs anyways

With heavy and just

Float away

[valid hedge]

i simply drive

[plain bough]

There was a time where I wore the heavy fire-resistant suit and just sprayed fire everywhere around me

[dire igloo]

Ive also reached lvl 30 today

I am on the grind considering I barely got the game 5 days ago

[spring quarry]

Jetpack and this guy make more dirty things on bugs

[dire igloo]

I use jetpack and arc thrower on bots

I love it

[spring quarry]

I didn't like it on the bots

act thrower is not very good at killing heavy robots

[dire igloo]

Id say its okay but I do agree with you it is slow

Need to shoot a hulk like 10 times to kill it

[heavy heart]

Might have to try that combo.

[dire igloo]

If ur really good at it you can speedrun team kills

Realistically it allows you to kill shit with the arc gun without killing your teammates cause you can reposition super fast

[spring quarry]

[plain bough]

Wear arc armor and become the conduit for longer range arcs

[dire igloo]

Im getting the ship module that makes my things arc 1 extra

Ill prob get the conduit armor after that

[dire igloo]

had a idea

time to search for a 1 handed flamethrower if there is 1 in the game

also I found the dumbass shotgun with 2 shots in it that takes your special slot on the map and I liked using it then realized theres no stratagem for it

me cry

[plain bough]

flamethrower pistol in Freedom's Flame warbond

[dire igloo]

the game needs more 1 handeds

[narrow trout]

shit we need more sidearms in general

or atleast buff the plasma and laser one

[dire igloo]

agreed

[narrow trout]

although nothing comes to mind of what i think they should add

hmm

[pale hollow]

It is also a bit depressing that the only 'free' sidearms are the small pistol and the fast small pistol

[narrow trout]

with only the fast one being the better of the two

[pale hollow]

yep, meanwhile you get a decent selection of primaries.
But sidearms? noooo, gotta get a premium warbond for anything good and unique

[narrow trout]

even then i still only use the grenade pistol

[pale hollow]

honestly, with the insane buff to 500kg, I stopped using the grenade pistol, can just blast an entire base/nest in one go

On that note, they need to buff the Orbital Precision Strike again, once more it is simply objectively worse than the 500kg in every way, it often does not even oneshot bile titans

[fresh light]

https://www.ddinstagram.com/reel/DEV_zo-Iy2Q/?igsh=MWtxdjJxaW53Y20wcA==

[dire igloo]

and then he found out he is in one of the 80% of banned countries all around the world

[eager cliff]

[plain bough]

When will Sony stop being stoopid and remove the ban on 177 countries

[valid hedge]

idk about that, an OPS can destroy a shielded illuminate ship while a shielded ship doesn't explode to a 500kg or an airstrike

[plain bough]

orbital gas strike can do that too

[valid hedge]

i just use walking barrage and OPS for illuminate

[dire igloo]

yea why can the orbital gas strike

do dumb shit like that

its basically a better precision strike

[plain bough]

too much taco bell inserted

[dire igloo]

cause there is lingering gas

true

it also can destroy objectives like illuminate ships that are on the ground, my friend showed me

its better in every single way than the precision strike

[valid hedge]

i don't agree

[plain bough]

OPS need more boom

[sacred tapir]

Buff? When

[sacred tapir]

Me when the precision strike doesnt have splash damage

Its PRECISE

If you hit the titan directly it instant kills, if you hit detector towers, it instant kills, if you hit literally any objective it instantly kills it

Factory striders, not so much, takes 2-3

But it also takes 2 500kgs to down a strider in my experience

I defend the OPS because its one of my favorite strategems for general objective destruction/tank removal

(The sound is nice too)

[pale hollow]

During the big rebalance patch, the 500kg now basically wipes out an entire large nest in one go, reducing the need for grenades.

[heavy sinew]

beat his ass so hard the dust particles turned into cubes

[dire igloo]

i just got like 40 kills with 1 500kg

[sacred tapir]

How long ago?

Bc as of the other day it has a like 35m radius

Which was never enough for me on large nests

[pale hollow]

a few months ago.

[heavy sinew]

my back hurts from carrying those lobotomites bro 😭 🙏

I get disconnected mid game, reconnect AND STILL AM MVP

[spring quarry]

who uses this shit?
why does it exist?

[plain bough]

It would've been good if it left a lasting cloud of gas

like every other gas weapon

[spring quarry]

but it does not

no damage
no control

very strange weapon

[plain bough]

It's more close support than anything else really

but you need to continously apply that support else it becomes useless

[dire igloo]

So its basically useless

[sacred tapir]

it exists for the weird redditors to go "GUYS ITS NOT BAD I SWEAR IF YOU USE THIS SPECIFIC THING IN THIS SPECIFIC PLACE AT THIS PARTUCULAR TIME, IT IS GOOD"

even though its fucking useless

[sacred tapir]

first off, you did teamkill a few times, like bro

second, that one guy is not far behind you

10 deaths though?

yikes hes still not good

hes just struggling along

[bleak patrol]

I like how he complains about the first dude even tho he himself contributed to over half of his deaths

[heavy sinew]

friendly fire damage is from the other guy running into my gatling barrage orbital wich I placed to cut off one of the bottle necks

[heavy sinew]

wich one is not far behind me?

[sacred tapir]

I meant on kills

The admiral one

[heavy sinew]

ye I got this issue in helldivers where Im keep getting disconnected mid match

thankfully I was able to reconnect to this match and not lose out on all the samples Im fiending for

[sacred tapir]

Difficulty?

10?

I accept any answer 7+ as a valid one

6 and down is cringe

Unless its credit farming

[heavy sinew]

Was on 9 cause the guy I was playing with didn't had 10 unlocked

But ye I always play on 10's just feels like default difficulty for me at this point

[sacred tapir]

Im more of a 7 person

I do 8 on bots

[heavy sinew]

anyway diff level balance in this game is weird af

[sacred tapir]

Yeah

[heavy sinew]

Like 10 sometimes are WAAAYYY easier than random ass diff 7 mission

[sacred tapir]

Sometimes you play level 7 and its like 11

Others 7 feels like 5

[heavy sinew]

on diff 10 on illuminates I barely see any enemies

[sacred tapir]

Because they arent here yet

[heavy sinew]

but this match I had on 9 I had to fight off like 10 harvesters at once 😭

[sacred tapir]

Yeah the harvester must be like the charger or hulk

We are missing like 3 enemies

[heavy sinew]

how it feels trying to kill harvester without any stratagems and MG with 1 mag left :

[sacred tapir]

Strategems feel underpowered

On then

Thhem*

Fuck

I hate mobile

[heavy sinew]

Ye like I threw orbital gatling barrage (heavy armor pen btw) and they just brushed it off

EVERY

SINGLE

[sacred tapir]

Harvesters have tanked direct 500s, direct OPS

[heavy sinew]

HARVESTER

[sacred tapir]

Ok and? I watched a heavy devastator do that

Thats not hard

[heavy sinew]

It has to do with the illuminates having diffrent type of armor it feels like they just have 2 hp bars, one for ammo and one for their actual body

[sacred tapir]

Even a rocket dev made it

Yeah they have ablative plates

80% damage reduction with health on said reduction

Thats why railgun/AMR one shots to the head on overseers

[heavy sinew]

you know what should 1 shot? Artillery mode on this fucking wasp launcher

[sacred tapir]

Anything with enough damage and pen can one shot

[sacred tapir]

Its misleading

Its actually a cluster bomb

[heavy sinew]

Its ridiculous you need to use 2 mags of it just to destroy single fabricator on bot front

[sacred tapir]

Use the regular mode

Pro tip

Space out the rockets

On harvesters

[heavy sinew]

Im using regular but it only lets you lock onto buildings with artillery mode

[sacred tapir]

If you space them by 3 seconds or so you can kill harvesters in 5 shots or 4 is lucky

Rather than 2 mags

Which will happen if you spam

I dont get why they do less damage in quick succession

But they do less when hitting fast

[heavy sinew]

like with hulks

[sacred tapir]

Yeah kinda

[heavy sinew]

if you space out you can take like 3-4 rockets but they take 1 and a half mag with spam

[sacred tapir]

Im a railgun nerd on bots tho

I find it fun

[heavy sinew]

I don't like guns that don't go boom

[sacred tapir]

Hulks go boom

[heavy sinew]

I mean railgun does but it will lead you to use steeled veterans armor sets

[sacred tapir]

After shooting

mine now

[spring quarry]

my friend leaves the game when i used this gas shit and gas drone in bots

[sacred tapir]

i would too

gas strike/nades not bad

but that is a crime

[spring quarry]

[heavy sinew]

why every pure enforcer of truth user is a griefer?

Like they will kill you just to steal your shotgun, then bomb the fucking evac and end up with 1,5k friendly fire dmg

[hasty sandal]

they must be trying to enforce truth

[sacred tapir]

wym?

i love the truth enforcers warbond

this is first im hearing of this

[sacred tapir]

bro mf left me hanging on the hug

what a bitch mf

[narrow trout]

shoot him

[dire igloo]

It would be like 5% better if it was one handed ngl

[tepid spear]

why is the anti tank gun in a warbond

need to grind 200 sc to feel like my ancestors

https://tenor.com/view/artur-goszczyk-flak-gif-27388934

[plain bough]

Flame Sentry and Anti-tank Emplacement is pretty top tier

[tepid spear]

Also i kinda fixed my below requirement pc from dieing

by turning the render quality from balanced to ultra

no idea why but i have suddenly stable 60 fps without crashes or stuttering

makes no sense for me, maybe its a completely different renderer or idk my gpu didnt got utilized enough with balanced

[heavy sinew]

Truth enforcers warbond is cool and drippy but I noticed a pattern where every mf with the title and armor from this warbond is straight up griefing

[plain bough]

It is rather ironic that sometimes turning up quality improves it rather than degrades it

[pale hollow]

Where did you find that setting?

[plain bough]

Display I'm pretty sure

the render scale

[sacred tapir]

Skill issue

But in all seriousness, never seen this

[heavy sinew]

this is like 4th time it happend to me so this shit be a pattern at this point and why Im splitting up from the group when truth enforcer mf is present on mission

[tepid spear]

i could just imagine it actually uses different renderers

like when you change the renderer in old games from opengl to vulkan for example

would be weird for today standards tho

[tepid spear]

Did you find it with breads help? otherwise i can boot up

[pale hollow]

I just booted up the game again and found it, I have it set to native so I missed it initially

[light nymph]

To be fair, the Flak 88 isn't really a AT weapon, it's way more versatile than that. It was an AT gun, an AA gun and in some cases an artillery piece. Truly a pinnacle of German engineering

[heavy sinew]

Nah I'd win

[plain bough]

Eye of Sauron gonna keep calling reinforcements

[hasty sandal]

lebron james reportedly caught loosing Gaellivare

[plain bough]

common helldiver L

no doubt a good chunk is from new divers tho

[heavy sinew]

Common L wich gives me brain aneurysm is when people take eagle 1 stratagems on jungle planets

[plain bough]

At this point people should figure out that those planets are best used with orbitals and people should use muscle enhancement on snowy/sandy planets

[sacred tapir]

Me with like 3 orbitals

[hasty sandal]

it is a level 13 invasion tho

[sacred tapir]

And other shit that works

[sacred tapir]

You think people are gonna take good things when they could set themselves up for a solodivers experience

Something to help the team, or something to help me wage a war solo and die 14 times

[plain bough]

500 cluster bombs

[sacred tapir]

They are gonna pick something to suit their needs

[sacred tapir]

I like clusters, but im careful and watch for team mates

Unlike one of the people i played with earlier

I told him he was too dumb for cluster bombs

[plain bough]

Always gotta watch out for that, especially on bot planets where you're gonna get ragdolled often

[heavy sinew]

I love when people say that 500kg is clutch and the very same match they use 500kg but it gets stuck in a tree and they fucking die to a hulk (they should've brought railcannon strike or precision strike)

[sacred tapir]

Me when cover exists

[sacred tapir]

OPS my beloved

Or just use railgun like me

Or some other heavy pen

[plain bough]

Railgun strike could use a CD decrease tho

[heavy sinew]

Man fuck the cover, I hid behind solid ass rock but factory strider said "not today asshole" and just fucking shredded me to pieces with its mg's through the cover

[sacred tapir]

I use dominator/crossbow, senator and railgun

[sacred tapir]

Cover wasnt good enough

I never trust rocks unless theyre 2-3x my size

Or a whole ass canyon or mountain
