[sacred tapir]

Then its perfect

Anyways back to OPS

[heavy sinew]

my go-to bot loadout is
(forgot the name fml) green marksman sniper rifle
laser pistol to pop jetpacks on raiders
thermite for fabricators and hulks

strats :
strafing run
recoiless rifle
energy shield tower
anti-tank emplacement you're one man army with this loadout

[plain bough]

I want more toxicity, AH give me the airburst mortar

[sacred tapir]

Im amazing at OPSing chargers/titans/striders/hulks

[sacred tapir]

Diligence CS?

I prefer senator

[plain bough]

I like my brick Jar-5

[sacred tapir]

Bc gun tricks

Also because its heavy pen and lets me use smth other than railgun

[heavy sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-1-playstation-1-hideo-kojima-revolver-ocelot-ocelot-gif-7841867374939761809

[sacred tapir]

If i feel the need for a different support weapon

I use thermites for tanks

And railgun or amr for hulks

Or even just OPS

For fabs i just let someone else do it, unless i brought crossbow

[heavy sinew]

man ik its skill issue but I never can manage to hit hulks in this tiny ass eye with railgun or AMR they always wobble side to side like they are fucking sentient and know I have shaky aim

[sacred tapir]

I just use the red dot

I have a mod to make the dot smaller

Bc its massive in vanilla

[heavy sinew]

so Im just saying "fuck you" and bring out an RPG on them, bonus points for destroying everything else railcannon/amr can't destroy

[sacred tapir]

And unusable

[heavy sinew]

its not massive in vanilla, its M A S S I V E

[sacred tapir]

It is too fucking big, its like using caseoh as a reticle

[heavy sinew]

I don't use mods in life service games outside of TF2 because I don't trust devs saying that their shitty kernel anti-cheat won't detect it for sure

[sacred tapir]

I dont like RR because reload

[heavy sinew]

if there's atleast 1 incident of false ban then with my luck I'll be next in chopping block if I even have fucking audio replacement mod

[sacred tapir]

It wont, as someone with 14 mods in total

Shits fine

[heavy sinew]

watch them drop some random ass update in the future making anti cheat less lenient and banning you on spot

[sacred tapir]

Asset changes, audio, reticles

[sacred tapir]

Then the 40k people with horny mods will rise up

Theres alot

Sooo many downloads on the porn mods

[heavy sinew]

Reload on RR is fine you just gotta space yourself, its especially easy if you use my loadout with dilligence CS

[sacred tapir]

I dont have at emplacement

And i dont like emplacements

Makes game too point and click

I prefer some form of skill rather than just click on big targets

[heavy sinew]

Man you tell me , I wanted cool mods for skyrim and cyberpunk but got flashbanged the moment I loaded up the nexus

[heavy sinew]

b-but the gun goes big boom!

[sacred tapir]

Me when OPS

Me when 380mm

Me when literally any eagle airstrike

Or bomb

Or even piss laser

[heavy sinew]

me when I have to wait 3 universal resets just to use the damn thing again

[heavy sinew]

piss laser is weak af

[sacred tapir]

I dont use it either

[sacred tapir]

Lying is crazy

Shit kills command bunker in like 3 seconds

[hasty sandal]

me when I lie

[heavy sinew]

only utility it has to clear fucking chaff and medium sized outposts

[sacred tapir]

Nah it kills hulks and shit

[heavy sinew]

drop that thing when you're surrounded by bots and 1 strider and the fucking laser won't kill shit because its focused on strider

[sacred tapir]

And its nice for striders

Factory strider right?

[heavy sinew]

ye

[sacred tapir]

Because thats the point if youd read

Targets big shit

Not a panic button

Thats what eagles are

[heavy sinew]

shame it can't kill the said big shit

[sacred tapir]

Instant panic button

[sacred tapir]

It weakens them pretty good

Then they are an easy rr shot or caseoh cannon

Its better than you think if you knew how to use it

[heavy sinew]

caseoh cannon? 😭🙏

[sacred tapir]

Yesh

Caseoh is great cuz it blows your fucking face off

[heavy sinew]

reminds me of those 2 audio replacement mods one for eagle1 wich replaces her with tf2 soldier and the ORS sound replaced with GET OUT 🗣️ meme sound

[sacred tapir]

I find the laser lame myself

Not bad

But boring

I prefer to use anything else

Because it clowns on command bunkers

And people use it

Making the mission easy and boring af

I prefer to use OPS because it is so cool sounding and goes boom

And it requires some effort

Unlike tossing a laser in that direction

I have to get that shit on the roof of the bunker in a somewhat central location

[fresh light]

What is this fuck ?

Helldivers will now become a movie from Sony Pictures.

Twitter · Jan 7, 2025, 1:41 AM

[sacred tapir]

im not excited at all

im expecting this to be slop like borderlands

sony sucks at literally anything

unless its fucking over 80% of the earth

or making shit movies

[plain bough]

Seems to be really confirmed they're making this a movie

[bleak patrol]

Sony Pictures has made some good movies and some bad movies

The real issue isn't who is making it, but rather the fact that it is a movie based on a video game, and those are usually bad

[plain bough]

It's gonna be a flop or a hit

[bleak patrol]

Ye

[tepid spear]

Oh they make another Starship Troopers?

sorry someone had to

[plain bough]

We'll see how satirical it'll get

[tepid spear]

The line of cringe and extremely funny is pretty thin

i hope they hit it

[light nymph]

we'll see if they have the balls to be PROPERLLY satirical or if they are gonna try to hide behind "comedy"

[plain bough]

Can't have the good shit in this galaxy

[light nymph]

I honestly don't think SONY has the balls to be properly satirical, because that requires the movie to take itself seriously and modern media are a bunch of pussies

[dire igloo]

if there isn't a helldiver killing civilians for funnies in the movie

the movie is shit

[buoyant urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/bonne-journée-bonjour-bonne-nuit-joyeux-anniversaire-helldivers-gif-8348297903062047856

US running from the movie

[pale hollow]

I hope they go all in on a badass invincible main character, real cool and awesome. Then after 15 minutes they just get fucking torn to strips by a hunter, setting the tone for the rest of the movie.

[buoyant urchin]

That would be dope! Aeon flux style main characters dying

[steady zinc]

Its Sony its gonna be goyslop

[light nymph]

Why not go with General Brash backstory?

a lowly Helldiver surviving through nothing but luck and coincidence and slowly becoming the badass that Brash is

[pale hollow]

A propaganda movie could be cool, although we would just file it under generic action movie number 987579

Unless they try to deal with SE politics etc.

[light nymph]

to be fair, Starship troopers is assumed by fans to be a in universe propaganda movie

could do a similar thing

[pale hollow]

True, but would need to avoid making a Starship troopers rip off while also avoiding just making a generic action flick

[light nymph]

Helldivers is already a ST ripoff technically

[hasty sandal]

what does goyslop mean?

[pale hollow]

Sorta, but also not. The lore has its roots in the geopolitics from years ago, parodying the US, China and Russia as one combined entity: The Federation of Super Earth.
Whereas Starship Troopers is a more narrow pro fascism book that was parodied as a movie.

[hasty sandal]

also my bet is that its gonna be on malevalon creek, basically being like "ooooo war is so brutal rahhhhhhh"

[steady zinc]

They cant do anything resembling starship troopers today so its likely not going to be anything close to the game

[tepid spear]

The movie will explain how the bug got into the city in the intro cutscence and killed the woman and child, TWO SECONDS AFTER TWO DIVERS PATROL NEXT TO THEM

[light nymph]

ST predicted that it would be a parody of USA in 2025

[balmy spire]

i'd be so fine with a ST ripoff

I've been wanting another ST movie for so long that is actually good

[light nymph]

there's no other ST movies

https://tenor.com/view/there-is-no-war-in-ba-sing-se-dai-li-agent-avatar-the-last-airbender-atla-gif-16455523

[balmy spire]

Did you read the book to come to that conclusion about it

[pale hollow]

No, but a friend read it and had some choice words.
I know some disagree with the "fascism" label, but I believe the author actually was in favour of the whole public service guarantees citizenship + free speech, depriving others of it, thus centralising power to a significantly smaller part of the population.

[heavy sinew]

POV : you taken your lvl 1 cadet homie to lvl 10 bots mission and he meets hulk for first time

[bleak patrol]

Respectable

They have potential

[heavy sinew]

I took my coworker who just started the game on Diff 10 bots mission the other day

He got like 5 level ups from this shit

At least he won't hurt for requisition

-# Neckbeard-1 back from the toilet

[hasty sandal]

they invaded mog

[dire igloo]

How haven't we won a single planet defense

In the past 6 planet defenses

[hasty sandal]

cuz we suck

also im mega pissed we're loosing both matar bay and martale

[dire igloo]

Does losing planets actually matter and do we even get anything if we win

[hasty sandal]

idk why all helldivers collectively refuse to ever defend automaton planets

[dire igloo]

Tbh i find automatons on 10 and illuminate on 10 easy as shit now

[hasty sandal]

loosing and winning planets is the whole reason we do anything, its called spreading democracy

[dire igloo]

Bugs on 10 though

Too many bugs

[hasty sandal]

also some planets are useful

[dire igloo]

Send help

[dire igloo]

Do we get buffs

Or is it just

Lore bullshit

[hasty sandal]

some might be close to important planets

eg. turing

some planets have important stuff on them

occasionally, new content is added if we manage to secure a planet

like the mech

[dire igloo]

I don't think the players care much considering when super earth was supposed to be attacked by automatons months back when the devs were on the mass nerfing spree the devs just set the invasion back

Cause well they can just do that

[hasty sandal]

in joel we trust

[dire igloo]

Devs just need to be a lil faster with adding content tbh

Like if every 2nd or 3rd planet defense we got promised something i think lots more ppl would care

Like a bi weekly addition

[hasty sandal]

if there were more major orders

like

all we need is like "defend these planets and u get some medals"

boom

[dire igloo]

Give me common samples

And ill defend the planet

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/831627457093697612/954601113070477312/steamahppy.gif

[hasty sandal]

they should make a long term major order, thats just ensure these planets are always secure

[dire igloo]

Common samples are actually harder to find than rares

I swear to fucking god

[hasty sandal]

real

[dire igloo]

Mostly cus they dont make noise

And are spread out farther

I got maxed out rare samples and no commons and all i do is pick commons up like a amazon worker in a warehouse

When i look at the end of missions that i only have half the commons throughout the entire map it makes me wonder where tf the other half is

Literally going throughout the whole map and we only have 20/48

[hasty sandal]

they need to make the model brighter

they blend in

[valid hedge]

true

seperate order

only active when major is done tho

cause it would cause more divide otherwise

[dire igloo]

The few major orders ive played since buying the game feel like they are missing the major component of them ngl

But thats cus the illuminate is unfinished as shit and most of em are based around the illuminate currently

[spring quarry]

2 most annoying things in the game:

1. Сommon samples are required much more than super samples

2.Operation modifiers. Stratagem Call-in time increased by 50% and Stratagem cooldown increased by 25%. And it's as if other modifiers don't exist anymore.

I always wait 15 seconds for these fucking supplies to drop.

[valid hedge]

hey, at least we don't get limited to 3 strats ever again.

i remember when it existed on the automaton front

[spring quarry]

maybe. When this happened, I hadn't played the game yet

[dire igloo]

I agree we need more modifiers

2 of the modifiers are basicaly the same thing

That being meteor shower and volcanic eruption

[bleak patrol]

I'm not even bothered by the extra call-in time or extra cooldown

But I do miss Electronic Countermeasures (scrambled codes) and AA Defenses (-1 stratagem slot)

[balmy spire]

This meme is so bad I'm going to go beat my son because of it

Hope your happy bub

[fresh light]

The idea is funny honestly, that's why I like it

[hasty sandal]

can someone explain why 36% of all helldivers are at this 1 random planet

[plain bough]

easy landscape for both missions and SC farming

[hasty sandal]

so is martale and matar bay

babe wake up new major order

[sacred tapir]

be me:

decide to play helldivers 2
play a bot mission for warm up
people join
one of them acts like a prick
you teamkill them to make them behave
other player shoots you
they seem to be 2 retarded peas in a pod
you get reinforced
you shoot them and then kick them
the 3rd player shoots the 4th
then shoots me
reinforces us
i spawn further away
3rd shoots 4th again
i 500kg 3rd
he lives
i shoot him through the 500kg fireball
i kick them
4th says "fuck off retard" to me
4th leaves
what the actual fuck just happened

sorry for wall of text

but this is just so confusing

and so fucking stupid

can i just get people with even half a functioning brain?

[hasty sandal]

why did you start shooting your teammates for no reason

[sacred tapir]

see if you would read

they were being a prick

not like "oh you stupid" nah like slurs

literal slurs

i dont tolerate it

and reporting does nothing

because they dont ban you

they just chat ban for a little while

so i planned to teamkill them, then kick them

but the other one who shot me interrupted that

so i was just left with a full team of (racist) morons, and im over here on this mission solo at this point

because i kicked 2/3 and the last guy left

[hasty sandal]

kick them

dont bother killing them

[valid hedge]

summary execution

face the wall

[sacred tapir]

booooooorriiiiinnnggg

or i could shoot them with a revolver

then kick them

which is far more fun

[sacred tapir]

to all people who bring mortars: i fucking hate you, and i hope you kick a contact mine

[valid hedge]

so true

[sacred tapir]

not that it kills me even, just so inconvenient

i wanna climb on a tank to kill it and some dumb mfs mortar tries to kill me

[sacred tapir]

im just following orders

loads autocannon with democratic intent

[silk sedge]

these mfs deserved it, operation swift disassembly was chaos asf

[hasty sandal]

just go around it

all you’ve ever done is complain

girl live a little

[hasty sandal]

[dire igloo]

glory to the wasp launcher

[dire igloo]

the plas 39 shouldn't be categorized as a sniper rifle

this shit doodoo

[balmy spire]

could not disagree more

so good if you hit headshots

kinda poopoo on bugs though

[plain bough]

Wasn't the problem that the damage drop off was quite high? It had like 60% decrease in damage when hitting targets over 100m

[hasty sandal]

yeah the dropoff is dog

also its ammo economy is questionable

[dire igloo]

its ammo economy is legit

worse than a smgs

also the main reason I think it shouldn't be categorized as a sniper rifle is dmg dropoff

[sharp kindle]

60% damage drop off at 100m

[dire igloo]

like 100m then it ass

[hasty sandal]

especially as you shoot 3 shots in 1 burst so its not ideal for small enemies

[dire igloo]

LIKE WHAT

[sharp kindle]

who designed this

[dire igloo]

ITS 60%?????

[sharp kindle]

ye

[dire igloo]

absolute dog shit

[sharp kindle]

the sniper that isnt allowed to snipe

[dire igloo]

its not a sniper

or a marksman

it ass

[hasty sandal]

its a gimmick gun larping as a sniper

[dire igloo]

i used it on bugs
i used it on bots
i used it on illuminate
each time bottom killing
each 2 seconds reloading cause the emmo economy is absolute ass

ITS CATEGORIZED AS A SEMI BTW
WHY IS IT A BURST????

[sharp kindle]

you have enough ammo to kill 1 hulk and a half

it doesnt even have heavy pen

[dire igloo]

thats if its not looking at you

idk what other sniper there is besides the troll gun

and the anti material rifle

[sacred tapir]

it should, it just needs a buff

just give it less drop, and like 40% more damage

because its ass

[dire igloo]

Ammo is also horrendously dog shit

[sacred tapir]

yeah, so give it 4 more mags

which is probably still not enough

[dire igloo]

Or just like make it actually a semi or add a semi and burst mode

Cus rn the semi is just a burst mode

[sacred tapir]

i mean...

its like that for a reason

its from killzone

it didnt have that option

[dire igloo]

So its just plain ass

Gg

[hasty sandal]

it needs more damage

or maybe a better explosion

[balmy spire]

I just think more ammo and faster reload, I like it as an ergonomic and quick rifle that deletes medium targets with easy headshots

Less damage fall off too

[dire igloo]

Ngl id rather just use the railgun and my primary be a close range weapon or anything else for the matter

[balmy spire]

i been saying this since the day it was added

[earnest stag]

Fucking Freddy Fazbear

🍒

[heavy sinew]

The problem with this game is that its too bugged and has a bots issue

[earnest stag]

[light nymph]

I heard it also jas a chance to infect people too

[sacred tapir]

WOOO JITTER FIX

WOOO I CAN AIM PROPERLY AGAIN

also less disconnecting, so thats cool

wasp fix too? yay i can actually use it again without issue

[plain bough]

One year anniversary coming up soon too

8th february

[sacred tapir]

eh but stutter fix

it isnt that important when i can aim

[plain bough]

aim is optional when you use explosives

[sacred tapir]

those bots/bugs/squids are gonna know my slightly more accurate wrath

[sacred tapir]

but i like to shoot overseers and shit

in the head

which is hard with amr when you cant fucking aim without stutter

which just ruins your aim

its like dayz when you are a cannibal

you legit cant aim because you get tremors

same idea kinda

[plain bough]

Nothing like having to babysit a team who struggle with a shrieker nest while I clear half the map lol

[sacred tapir]

bro what

how does one struggle with that

all it takes me is the 2 second input, the hellbomb landing time and around 1 second to arm it

[plain bough]

they managed to die too on it, only time I also get killed was due to teammates

[sacred tapir]

ok this is something i can relate to

i play bots mostly, but im a lvl 7-8 person

but i can squeeze out 9 and 10s

i have trouble on 10s to an extent

[plain bough]

I've been doing exclusively 10s for months now

[sacred tapir]

but i have to lock in on those games

i prefer the more laid back gameplay

idk man 10 is cool and all, but it gets stale having to act like a nerd

[plain bough]

Feels alright for me, only annoying thing is mega hives due to continous spawns

[dire igloo]

Ngl

After playing on 10 for a extended period of time

The games easy

Its fun but its easy

I need a more complex skill tree and stuff on the game

Like all the other horde shooters in my library are more difficult and have a deeper progression

Sadly I have arrived at the point of where I can only play the game for one run of 3 missions then hop off

[sacred tapir]

idk im just not a good player tbh

ok thats a lie, im not one to die 10 times, and im also not one to get 5 kills or smth

but im not good when i have to handle like 1000 fucking things at once

with no help

[sacred tapir]

bots, squids or bugs

theres a difference

[dire igloo]

All of em

It only gets hard when theres like invasion lvl 7+ on the planet with difficulty 10

[tepid spear]

drop down to 8 and we ball

or does the game not increase spawn rates after 8?

because my pc already fought hard with bots on 8, too much red lights

i know from 9 to 10 there is no spawn increase, just harder enemies

[heavy heart]

I don't find bots really gets much harder after dif 7,

Bugs just get much more miserable.

[plain bough]

I want new toys to play with

[dire igloo]

Same

[hasty sandal]

my faith in helldivers has been restored

also love the 1% who voted for martale

[plain bough]

DSS working again?

[eager cliff]

yeah and they changed some strats

[sacred tapir]

they made them better

basically made the the bombardment your choice

with a free 380

[valid hedge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpOudM-pX1M

[earnest stag]

Gooner

[balmy spire]

booooooring

[sacred tapir]

Say what you want still better than the teamkill machine

[balmy spire]

With them taking this long to add it I was expecting something more unique instead of you just getting a free stratagem

[sacred tapir]

They probably have other more pressing things to do than a glorified planet modifier

Lets be honest

[balmy spire]

Like? The DSS is a major feature

And it is only a "Glorified planet modifier" because it's not very well designed, IMO at least, we got cool shit but DSS is not it

[plain bough]

At least the DSS is a bit more useful now it can move every 4hrs

[balmy spire]

I thought the barrage would be something constant the host could select a location for in the map during matches but I guess I dreamt too far

[sacred tapir]

that makes no sense how that would work

do they have 100000 guns? if every diver squad on the planet were to use that at once it would require SO MANY GUNS

and we havent even gotten to the ammo part of the equation

[valid hedge]

anyway, i'll probably dive when DSS moves

3hr from now

i made my vote now i chill

[sacred tapir]

imma be honest, the illuminate are kinda boring

i played my fill of them

and i returned to fight the mechanical fuckwits shortly after

[valid hedge]

i like using my machine gun

the illuminate are good fodder

[dire igloo]

i like using the arc thrower

[sacred tapir]

you know what else is good fodder?

bugs

arc thrower is fun on bugs

[valid hedge]

yeah but i can shoot everything with machine gun

[sacred tapir]

not as fun on illuminate

[sacred tapir]

so can i

[valid hedge]

and i don't care for arc thrower

mid gun

[sacred tapir]

and arc thrower does it all too

[dire igloo]

we need more electric weapons

[sacred tapir]

it stun locks everything and makes the game kinda easy

unless its a bile titan

[dire igloo]

I need a sniper rifle that just shoots a pure condensed bolt of electricity straight into craniums of enemies

[sacred tapir]

now this is a good idea

but i think it needs an ammo count

like the railgun, but less pen

[dire igloo]

its electricity

its always gonna do max damage

[sacred tapir]

thats true

so it would be fucked

broken

[dire igloo]

and you can just give it a tesla that controls it that needs recharge every so few

like a cooldown

[sacred tapir]

so like how laser guns work?

like caseoh cannon?

[dire igloo]

hmmmm

yea that would keep it balancedish

[hasty sandal]

I need me a constitution but like, better

[dire igloo]

and I want a shotgun that shoots micro missiles

but we can't have cool shit

[hasty sandal]

would love to see more variety in energy weapons generally

big fan of them currently

sickle my beloved

[sacred tapir]

i need a sword

like a power sword from warhammer 40k

with heavy pen, high damage, medium range

but its a primary weapon, and it has a set time limit before a recharge

like 30 seconds of use, but can be cut short for a shorter cooldown

[hasty sandal]

id take any melee as long as it can swing fast and has a decent curve effect area

[sacred tapir]

like a laser weapon

[hasty sandal]

like in l4d2

[sacred tapir]

that too

but slow swing speed

it sweeps

[hasty sandal]

the stun lance doesn't do it for me since its just too slow

[sacred tapir]

but its slow

[dire igloo]

i dont like how we legit just don't have a wide variety of weapons and its mostly just

[hasty sandal]

its still good tho, but not my type

[sacred tapir]

i just think it would be cool to have a power sword

[dire igloo]

hey its energy

hey it bullets

[sacred tapir]

indeed

[hasty sandal]

i have faith the devs will add more cool stuff

[dire igloo]

theyre so sloooooooooooowwwwwwww

[sacred tapir]

dominator needs a buff too imo, i think it needs to have more velocity

its rocket propelled but moves as slow as a person walking

like what?

even the irl gyrojet rounds were faster than this

so either they boost them directly, or they make it accelerate

[dire igloo]

we either need A funny weapon combinations like just

[sacred tapir]

because it would accelerate

[dire igloo]

strap a grenade launcher to a shotgun

but like yknow

[sacred tapir]

this

[dire igloo]

footoristic stuff

[sacred tapir]

this is a good idea

[plain bough]

Pump action grenade launcher

[dire igloo]

strap a mini quasar cannon to a fucking pistol

[sacred tapir]

not very funny since its real

[dire igloo]

that shoots birdshot shotgun

[hasty sandal]

gimme scar-face gun

UBGL

[plain bough]

add like a 4 grenade primary for us

[sacred tapir]

maybe when weapon customization (in 10 years)

[dire igloo]

yay!

[sacred tapir]

far cry 3 pump gl

[dire igloo]

genuinely like they could add so much cool shit

[dire igloo]

if they just used a brain

[sacred tapir]

they said they have ideas for warbonds

yet i havent seen a new one in a month

[plain bough]

We need more arc weaponry, maybe something that spits out small mines that electrify enemies close to it

[hasty sandal]

im sure they're probably aware, but it all takes time

[sacred tapir]

[hasty sandal]

AH have a lot of shit they wanna do

[dire igloo]

a ks-23 that is a revolving shotgun but instead of bullets it shoots explosive piercing shells that embed themselves in the enemy

and explode

inside said enemy

[sacred tapir]

demoman grenade launcher, but electric

[dire igloo]

who fw this idea

[sacred tapir]

sooo bolter but revolver?

i like this

[hasty sandal]

for sure as a support weapon

[sacred tapir]

yes

[plain bough]

Me waiting for february to come so we get new shit

[dire igloo]

you could just make it so you need to load the whole gun before shooting it

[sacred tapir]

can we get a games workshop x arrowhead collab with them straight up adding bolters as a support weapon

[dire igloo]

and make the gun have like 20 chambers

and 2 magazines worth of bullets

so x40 and just a 20 chamber

[sacred tapir]

12 chambers

[plain bough]

I expect lasguns, bolters and maybe a chainsword

[sacred tapir]

but with 6 mags

[balmy spire]

Who cares about realism

[sacred tapir]

this but power sword

[sacred tapir]

me to an extent

this game is actually pretty accurate for weapons

[balmy spire]

What if every helldiver on the planet used a 380mm barrage at the same time from the DSS

that is a possibility

[sacred tapir]

and mostly possible irl aside from the shit that dont exist

[balmy spire]

Also it literally constantly bombarded before this update

[sacred tapir]

no actually its not

[balmy spire]

So I don't get your point

[sacred tapir]

but it wasnt targeted, and targeted means a sustained accurate fire

and that means more guns

[dire igloo]

its the fact they aren't fixing bugs whilist not adding anything new

[sacred tapir]

they do but dont

[dire igloo]

WHY ARE CITY POINTS OF INTEREST STILL BUGGED

AFTER WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS

[sacred tapir]

they fixed the stutters

[dire igloo]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS

on illuminate

[sacred tapir]

i mean who gaf

[dire igloo]

me

[balmy spire]

It was targeted in a radius around you

[hasty sandal]

POV: its 10 years later, the DSS has been converted into a deathstar and just blows up planets if helldivers vote enough

wait a minute

[sacred tapir]

in gameplay

not in practice

[hasty sandal]

why doesn't super earth just build another DSS?

are they stupid?

[sacred tapir]

in the actual "lore" it just shot at the planet like in 40k

im realizing that arrowhead really are extreme warhammer nerds

[balmy spire]

Okay dude maybe it could've been something cool then instead of a free 380mm stratagem how about that

[sacred tapir]

hulks are dreadnoughts, devastators are similar to marines kinda and troopers like guardsmen

[sacred tapir]

i mean sure

but like, idrc anyways since no one is gonna really pick it when eagle storm is massively better

same with orbital blockade

[balmy spire]

thats the problem

Theres only one useful thing in the DSS

[sacred tapir]

its not a problem

[balmy spire]

???

[hasty sandal]

they should've renamed it to "760 barrage" so people felt like its different

[sacred tapir]

nothing can convince me that anything else could improve over eagles

eagles are peak

no argument can be made

[sacred tapir]

lmao

[balmy spire]

It's not a problem to have 1 useful thing in a game where options are it's lifeblood

Okay

[sacred tapir]

nah 406mm barrage

[sacred tapir]

i mean sure, but still, it would cost rare samples

which are not worth tossing at some goofy effect that is worse than eagle storm in effect

[balmy spire]

Yes that is exactly what I am saying and that is exactly the problem

Cost should be proportional to the reward

[sacred tapir]

i still think they should all cost req slips

and make them cost a shit ton

like 20 million

[balmy spire]

Okay and what should they do

[sacred tapir]

because thats a lot more fun than using all my samples (which i need) on it

[sacred tapir]

same as now

im not that picky

[valid hedge]

its an option for people like me

[sacred tapir]

tbh i dont really care that much about the dss to begin with, i never had issues with the teamkills when it was orb bombardment

[valid hedge]

who literally are so loaded and have nothing to spend anything on

[sacred tapir]

maybe 2 times

[valid hedge]

so i can just dump all my shit

[sacred tapir]

yeah if only you could donate to other divers

[valid hedge]

i would

[sacred tapir]

i could use samples rn, i almost have enough for maxxing my next module

super samples are easier than common samples ngl

i always have 100 supers but like 90 common

[hasty sandal]

as long as we have orbital blockade, im happy

[sacred tapir]

and 140 rares

[sacred tapir]

i mean its fine as is

this dude is just whingeing and bitching that it didnt go their way

[dire igloo]

hear me out

a grenade and the grenade is a big canister

[balmy spire]

At least it didn't go your way since your ideas are considerably more dogshit

[hasty sandal]

first world problems

[sacred tapir]

womp womp

[dire igloo]

and it just releases a bunch of nano bots

[sacred tapir]

cry harder nerd

[dire igloo]

and they just run and kill shit

then die after killing 1 thing

[hasty sandal]

so like snarks from half life

[dire igloo]

obv you would need more of them to go to 1 enemy if the enemy is tanky

[sacred tapir]

hunter killer from bo2?

hell yeah

[dire igloo]

oh my god

you saying bo2

LEGIT GIVE ME FUCKING DRONES

THAT I CAN FLY

INTO ENEMIES

[sacred tapir]

like the thing from bf4

[dire igloo]

and they just EXPLODE on contact

[sacred tapir]

i forgor its name

but it does exactly that

[hasty sandal]

gimme a pheremone dart thingy

like drg

typing that out now, ik it'd only work on bugs so

nevermind

[sacred tapir]

on bots it acts as acid

and it just erodes their armor

making medium light and heavy into medium for a short time

[hasty sandal]

mayhaps

[dire igloo]

gas works on robots

my friend showed me

its stupid

[sacred tapir]

it is dumb

[balmy spire]

Fire works on your own mechs and on bots too

[sacred tapir]

i guess it affects their sensors

[balmy spire]

Which seems very wrong

[hasty sandal]

its caustic so

[sacred tapir]

different, theres flammable shit in the mech

fuel for one

cables

other shit that isnt metal

[plain bough]

we need white phosphorous launcher, for all the bugs

[balmy spire]

maybe they should make it reflect that instead of just eroding your mech away

[sacred tapir]

yes

[balmy spire]

This is what Chemical agents could've been

[sacred tapir]

one more thing

"who cares about realism" -Secsu

[plain bough]

chemical agents is ok, but the sterilizer needs to be better

[balmy spire]

You do

And as you said

[sacred tapir]

your words not mine lil bro

[balmy spire]

It is apparently realistic for fire to kill the mechs

As you said

[hasty sandal]

[sacred tapir]

i mean yeah, theres not just metal

[balmy spire]

Okay so you had your way

[sacred tapir]

i said i do to an extent

[hasty sandal]

AH know their own IP, have some faith they know how to keep it realistic to it

[sacred tapir]

theres a point where i just say fuck it

including a power sword from 40k

because that shit doesnt make sense in physics

it literally disrupts matter in an area around the blade

[balmy spire]

Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean you have to be an annoying child when I speak of things I'd like added

[sacred tapir]

basically meaning a force field

[sacred tapir]

[hasty sandal]

calm the HEDCK DOWN

girl

[valid hedge]

[hasty sandal]

smh

[dire igloo]

fuck realism

[sacred tapir]

[valid hedge]

so true

[dire igloo]

give me as much wacky weaponry as possible

[valid hedge]

where my bolt gun

[sacred tapir]

know what? yeah

[dire igloo]

give me a fucking rocket launcher with dummy rockets that just

[valid hedge]

i need my thermite dominator

[dire igloo]

let me rocket jump

reason

fuck it we ball

[sacred tapir]

some would say dominator, but its not good enough

i need it to hit then explode

[valid hedge]

its the closest thing i would get to my boltgun

[balmy spire]

it's not like I hate helldivers 2

I like helldivers 2

[sacred tapir]

but not the same level as the crossbow

[balmy spire]

I paid 40 dollars for it

[dire igloo]

I love this game and I bypassed the bullshit region restriction

to get this game

[sacred tapir]

but like i want a little boom once it hits the target, like bolters do

[valid hedge]

explodes internally of the target is how a real bolter works

[dire igloo]

and I want just wacky insane shit in the game cause why not

its funny

[sacred tapir]

yes

i know

i want it to hit, then boom, but weaker than crossbow for balance

because it has damage of dominator, but with explosives

[plain bough]

Gimme some smart gun primaries with lower damage but with more ammo capacity

[sacred tapir]

so it would need to be somewhat weaker than that

[sacred tapir]

smart pistol titanfall 2

[hasty sandal]

[sacred tapir]

lower damage, but aims for weakpoints

and like 12 round mags, i want peacemaker damage with auto aim basically

light pen

so on bots it works up to devastators

anything bigger and it just goes shit

[valid hedge]

smart guns are always mid to me in every game

like

i can aim fine

[sacred tapir]

usually

[sacred tapir]

i know

but it would be cool

[balmy spire]

Still waiting on a bag fed minigun

[valid hedge]

i think they are deciding between backpack gatling or just disposable mini

[plain bough]

they did say making a backpack fed minigun was difficult, nothing preventing them from making a oversized sickle version of a minigun

[sacred tapir]

i saw on reddit (i know, forbidden words) that someone came up with the idea of heavy resupplies

[sacred tapir]

2 uses per drop, shared cooldown with normal resupply

and it reloads mechs and shit

i want this, but it also works on a minigun strat

[hasty sandal]

[plain bough]

They should make some maps with a modifier that POIs can carry mech ammo, giving you incentive to use em so you can reload your gear

[sacred tapir]

or even better, the goliath exo from advanced warfare

[balmy spire]

they said something about making it bag reliant difficult to do

[balmy spire]

Which I don't get at all but whatever they're the coders

[sacred tapir]

this shit

i want this

[plain bough]

power armor I want

[sacred tapir]

yes

thats what this is

it usually has a helmet

but still

[valid hedge]

i prefer space marine type power armor

[balmy spire]

I thought it'd just be a small check like
If bag is on, you can shoot minigun

[hasty sandal]

heavy armour?

[plain bough]

but knowing AH, they'll just make a beefy looking suit with servos on it, slap extra sprint % on it and call it a day

[sacred tapir]

or it could have a shield generator for a helmet

[sacred tapir]

ultra heavy but yeah

this comes with a exo suit frame

like from stalker, but advanced

[hasty sandal]

but you're mega slow?

whats the downside to it

[sacred tapir]

kinda

i think it would be better to be battery powered and sprinting drains it quicker

and there could be batteries at some pois

[hasty sandal]

oh so fusion cores

fallout 4

[sacred tapir]

yes

if thats how you understand it

yes

or a strategem that accompanies it

like how the GL + supply pack thing works

but actually almost required

[hasty sandal]

I love the idea, but I can tell you now that i'd never use it

[balmy spire]

Power-Liberator warbonds, it's premium so it costs 1500 SC and 2 of the guns in it are liberator reskins

[hasty sandal]

I love being fast, and sacrificing it so I'm tankier doesn't seem like a good trade

but it really depends how slow you will be

cuz it could be like, speed is ok, but stamina regen is ass

[plain bough]

I don't mind using any type of armor, but I like getting to objectives faster

[hasty sandal]

or the other way around

[valid hedge]

don't forget weapon customization on the horizon

[plain bough]

I'll believe it when I see that one

[sacred tapir]

maybe you could move at normal heavy armor speed, but you just couldnt dive/crouch, so cover would be harder to use

[balmy spire]

I would settle for a backpack requiring more powerful laser cannon if they can't do the minigun because it's too many projectiles or some shit

[sacred tapir]

i dont think projectiles are an issue if you look at the red skies of the creek back then XD

the sky painted red from lasers lol

[hasty sandal]

would that not contradict the whole exoskeleton thing

i think

if it was meant to be like a "mini mech"

ditch the whole core power thing

it gives you great armour, but less compared to the mech

the benefit being that you can use your own weapons

and ofc being smaller

potentially the exo causing less drag on your weapons

[balmy spire]

No recoil

that would be a good tradeoff actually

no recoil but you are slow

[hasty sandal]

isn't that just going prone basically

but not no recoil

[balmy spire]

Yeah but you can do it standing now which means you can dodge

I'm picturing a full rpm HMG with this

[hasty sandal]

potentially

but for many, recoil isn't much of a problem

using a fortified/engineer kit armour can sort it out mostly

[balmy spire]

It is why I believe some weapons like the medium machinegun and the HMG are underutilised

Idk

[hasty sandal]

seems a bit niche

but not a bad idea

[balmy spire]

I just want the bag fed minigun

[hasty sandal]

use mech

[valid hedge]

i'm always wearing my heavy seige armor nowadays

because i always drive

[balmy spire]

mech minigun doesn't last long enough for my dopamine to be satisfied

Though it does feel amazing to mow down hordes of small bugs with it

[hasty sandal]

stalwart also exists

change it to max rate of fire

boom

[balmy spire]

Sound effects and feel of weapons is one of the best things AH does

[hasty sandal]

mini-mini gun

[balmy spire]

the idea is to never reload my friend

the killing never ends

[hasty sandal]

[balmy spire]

I saw a guy suggest a bag fed super shotgun

[valid hedge]

prefiring rotation

[balmy spire]

They can actually just fucking re-skin every weapon in the game as bag fed

[valid hedge]

just give drum mags

[balmy spire]

Coming soon with Weapon customisation if it actually will happen

[hasty sandal]

[balmy spire]

Tanks are meant to happen eventually

They existed in HD1 so they gotta exist here too

Tanks would be a cool DSS feature actually if they make it require more than 1 person to drive

[hasty sandal]

inb4 automatons stole all of them from the first galactic war

[spring quarry]

[sacred tapir]

and it comes with the minigun

[valid hedge]

i been driving out here in the fucking rain

acid rain

can't see shit but i'm still drifting

[sacred tapir]

dont just stand there go destroy it

thats an undemocratic structure there helldiver!

[spring quarry]

i really like it when after using an experimental infusion the entire screen is flooded with acid

[sacred tapir]

what the SHIT?

brother is a paid actor

[dire igloo]

helldivers 1 in helldivers 2

[sacred tapir]

this is me

actually me

[fresh light]

Lore accurate

[sacred tapir]

ok so if everything that happens ingame is canon

that means that in the canon, theres a point in time

where 2 helldivers stared at the black hole of meridia, and talked about warhammer lore for about 1 and a half hours, meanwhile citizens of super earth are being abducted and turned into monstrosities

and these 2 bumblefucks are talking about how cool it would be if power swords and astartes were in helldivers 2

(i want an astartes strategem SO FUCKING BAD)

i even have an idea how it would work, thats how serious i am

i personally think it would be awesome to see some shit like the warp open from meridia in a 40k crossover event

(its possible, since arrowhead devs are just as much of a warhammer fan as i am, that they will try to pull this off)

[sacred tapir]

so im watching therussianbadgers helldivers 2 video (for the 4th time, i need a sequel) and i noticed that this breaker 12 model's magazine is bite sized bro

like wtf

[light nymph]

I mean... It's a thing that exists in the real world too...

when the magwell is larger than the mag by that much, it's usually to make it easier to insert the mag

mainly used in competative shooting guns

[plain bough]

Just now noticed that even our boots have skulls on the bottom lol

[valid hedge]

peak

[spring quarry]

why almost no one plays in bot sectors

[plain bough]

They can't handle lasers hitting their face

[spring quarry]

[sacred tapir]

But the ingame one is full size

[valid hedge]

skill issue perhaps

[hasty sandal]

probably an sfm quirk

[golden pivot]

When they bring in tanks someday, I'm sure everyone will bum rush bots.... Hopefully

[spring quarry]

[golden pivot]

[valid hedge]

i play wherever the major order takes me

[sacred tapir]

if its illuminate, i dont bother, they arent that fun to me

either too easy, or the game tosses enough harvesters at you that it feels like im at a fucking rave

or getting swatted by 10 swat teams at once

[spring quarry]

[pale hollow]

I too am steering clear of them more and more. Not all that fun when one weapon hard-counters every enemy they can throw at you. Good ol' medium machinegun solos the entire Illuminate species

[golden pivot]

Find Squids to not really bring all to much as of yet to the table.
Can only wonder what the devs will bring back from the og with mind control to hopefully bring a good challenge

They're just a bit on the middle ground incorporating both bot and bug strats.
Also still waiting for hive queen from the bugs to be put in.

[pale hollow]

I do like the voteless though, they remind me a bit of the Terminids yet provide a unique experience due to their speed, durability and quantity

[golden pivot]

Same here, they do make things hectic with the floating overseers ganging up on you.
But it's still a bit early in but very limited with enemy variety for squids.
Not saying it's a cake walk lol
But can only imagine and hope for the same fear factor i had first going up against em recently sooner or later.

[pale hollow]

Once more, we are left hungering for more content

[golden pivot]

All I want is a tank.... an apc, flamethrower mech, mech with stratagem launcher, and jokingly a vehicle that can hover (no weapons is fine prolly more for scouting with limited calldowns or long cooldown)

Oh!!!
And a guard dog with a flamethrower

[valid hedge]

[golden pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-25423496

[spring quarry]

Yes. To become a true pyromaniac.

[valid hedge]

the helghast armor perk is better then the straight up fire protection one because its 50% multiple vs 75% against just fire.

[golden pivot]

Only way I'd rock solely fire based protection is if rocking fire weapons on hellmire, but then again I'm not that crazy.... yet

[valid hedge]

it was quite helpful when there was acid rain, i was using the primary flamethrower and trying to not die to the arc of the harvesters

[spring quarry]

I wear armor not for the perks, but for the looks

[valid hedge]

i make the best of my look and perk

[sacred tapir]

the wasp does too

[sacred tapir]

i just so happen to have been gifted by the devs since they made the sa-25

i like the servo assisted armor, and i like the look

the wasp solos the whole fucking game, i dont use it

but i did and it made it trivial

even on lvl 9

[golden pivot]

Servo assist is freaking preem, especially clearing out bases with 120's, 380's and walking barrages

[sacred tapir]

i fucking hate that word broo

"preem"??

love cyberpunk, but i only tolerate the slang IN the game

otherwise its cringe

[golden pivot]

I played to much cyberpunk

[sacred tapir]

maybe

[golden pivot]

Don't really know why it stuck with me, but I get ya on some of the slang from the game. It can be... off a tick
