[light nymph]

same, the game is desperately starved for content that devs refuse to release, and the content that IS released is so bare bones that's it's boring to play.
Also, we already know that the Galactic war is a sham

[hasty sandal]

also the DSS just moved to a planet with no invasion on it

they really gotta update the voting system cuz the dss is roleplaying internet explorer

[light nymph]

The DSS is apparently still prone to "accidental" friendly fire, so it's good that it's being shoved aside

[sacred tapir]

but how

never seen it

[sacred tapir]

we need the other illuminate enemies to make it more fun

currently its just ok ig

[plain bough]

Definitely got killed quite a few times by the Eagle Storm

[sacred tapir]

gotta love 2 strat jammers next to each other

[plain bough]

They removed quite a few countries from being unable to buy HD2

[pale hollow]

old news

[earnest stag]

very old

[paper coyote]

Kazakhstan #1 🇰🇿

[copper cypress]

The 4th faction of HellDivers 2 should be little human rebellions we have to quell that pop up from time to time.

[hasty sandal]

why would people rebel against super earth?

super earth is perfect

the loyal citizens have no reason to commit treason

the ministry of truth ensures our citizens are protected and safe from propaganda, they’re also constantly monitored

[hasty sandal]

chat what does this mean

and why do i have 10 trillion samples out of no where

[sacred tapir]

who are these dumb motherfuckers i keep playing with?

can i get some humans that arent lobotomized?

because jesus fuck im getting surrounded by bugs because my team has never heard of sticking together

[hasty sandal]

sorry that was me

[sacred tapir]

wish that was me bro i need samples

my dimwit team mate killed me when i had like 30 of each sample

aside from supers (which i have tons of)

[sacred tapir]

some dumb motherfucker fell for the hug at the freezer trick, where you leave the lobby

dumbass

funniest shit on the super destroyer

[pale hollow]

Last time cheaters worked to influence the MO

[sharp gorge]

Forever free of being invited to play a co-op game

[hasty sandal]

ah cool

ty

[plain bough]

I like how the only reason we're doing research to enter the Gloom is because the terminids might provide 10x more E-710 lol

[pale hollow]

hmmm https://youtu.be/pjPoyBJ07D0

[sacred tapir]

Its basically Super USA, of course our only motivation to go into more trouble than before is just oil

[earnest stag]

It would be cool if you were able to drop a FlamerSentry on the Mech

[plain bough]

When we getting the flamer mech

[sacred tapir]

[hasty sandal]

THEY INVADED FENRIR

[plain bough]

We are working rather fast in the sample collection department eh

[hasty sandal]

its level 14 invasion btw

[plain bough]

So long as we keep the DSS with Eagle Storm on Fenrir it should be around 48hrs before the planet falls

[hasty sandal]

surely we wont loose the most important planet in the galaxy

(excluding super earth)

[sacred tapir]

AW SHIT, AW FUCK

https://tenor.com/view/dobby-gif-22195730

GOTTA GO FIGHT XENOS SCUM FOR SUPER EARTH

[valid hedge]

☝️ 🤓 "erm, do not shoot the civilians."

[sacred tapir]

The guys in the swat van watching as i shoot through a door like a bumblefuck shooting a civvie and a suspect (worth it, those fucking nerds can shut up about “civilian casualties”)

[plain bough]

Anyone else think the Eagle Storm is the new DSS 380mm barrage lol?

Feels like the strafing runs hit helldivers way more compared to before

[sacred tapir]

They aim like a mortar its your fault you get hit

Stay back

The dss is better on bots tho

Because they mostly stay far enough its not an issue

[heavy sinew]

My team mates always solve that problem by throwing 500kg stratagem ball straight at my face

[sacred tapir]

At this point its better than it already is

Atleast they tried yknow?

[plain bough]

More Illuminate shenanigans soon?

[heavy sinew]

ARROWHEAD GIVE US A MACE MELEE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[light nymph]

they already did

[plain bough]

We only got stun lance and baton tho?

[light nymph]

Mace: Blunt smashy weapon
Baton: Blunt smashy weapon

[plain bough]

Certainly doesn't look baton shaped

[light nymph]

#1 That's a FLANGED mace
#2 Don't shape shame blunt smashy instruments

TECHNICALLY a Hammer can be clasified as a mace

[balmy spire]

Peak physique quickly has become on of my favorite armor passives in the entire game

Originally I only thought of using it with stuff like machine guns but it's so absurdly good with snipers

I also realized the anti material sniper isn't really all that worth it for bots, since the counter sniper can do the same but quicker and more consistently apart from a few of the really big guys

With the counter sniper I can just clear hordes with ease with the handling from peak physique, since most enemies can be one shot if hit right

And I use the senator for the behemoths since you can actually like one or two shot them with it if you hit just right

Also nade launcher needs a buff, feels so mid compared to launch

I think it just needs a bigger aoe and I would be satisfied

[plain bough]

I think it just needs an option for shrapnel when it explodes

[balmy spire]

Yeah, or make rounds piercing, because as of now it's in most circumstances too slow and clunky to have value over other stratagems

Or maybe lower the magazine size but have a BIG boost to damage, like, really make it feel like this is a device made to plow through whatever material is placed in front of it

I want to feel like I'm evaporating the guy behind the wall of the guy that I shot at

[plain bough]

Believe it had a damage boost from 250 to 500 damage months ago already

[balmy spire]

Thats nice atleast, but it still feels meager to me though. It's just in an odd middle ground to me though

[sacred tapir]

"if it were a test it would be a mid term, if it were a time of day it would be midnight." -therussianbadger

theres more im just lazy

[balmy spire]

Too slow to be a nimble sniping tool and whatnot, too shrimpy to be an menace against heavies

[sacred tapir]

he was talking about the 500kg, but it works here

[balmy spire]

Really a shame since launch nade launcher was an absolute menace

Easily was the most flexible stratagem imo

[sacred tapir]

it still is... kinda

i just use it differently now

[plain bough]

I find it quite good against the groups of bugs and bots, but you need something else for heavy units

[sacred tapir]

i use it like a mortar

shoot up in an arc, and it lays waste to bugs

[balmy spire]

It's not bad but It's no longer the carpet bombing beast it once was

Using it like a mortar is smart though

[sacred tapir]

i knew i wasnt tweakin

it was infact gas

its fun

[balmy spire]

I love fire ngl

[sacred tapir]

although i think partly why its not as good is because it doesnt hit as many

since if you direct impact a bug at the FRONT of the horde for instance

its not hitting the ones BEHIND it

[balmy spire]

The fire nades always rack up tons of kills for me

[sacred tapir]

but in the mortar strategy, sure it takes like 6 or so seconds to land

but it works perfect

[sacred tapir]

ok hear me out

incendiary grenade launcher

[balmy spire]

Thats actually sick

[sacred tapir]

same mag count, same ammo cap

[balmy spire]

I would love that

[sacred tapir]

just, less AOE/impact damage

and more fire spread

[plain bough]

There's one hanging around in the files, just unused

[sacred tapir]

no shit?

[balmy spire]

I want more variety than normal fire though since there is so much overlap

[sacred tapir]

damn that should have been in freedoms flame

[balmy spire]

Like I can only stack fire once

[sacred tapir]

instead of that dumb ass flame pistol no one uses

fuck that thing

[balmy spire]

Maybe a napalm like fire? Sticks to a target for longer with way less aoe but does a lot more damage?

[sacred tapir]

its dumb and useless and an incendiary grenade launcher strategem would be SO WELCOME

[sacred tapir]

think of it kinda like the concussive liberator

wait no

more like the S&P breaker

[plain bough]

I want a mortar that launches airburst cannisters with fire

[sacred tapir]

less damage

but it sticks to them like fire does

but like napalm kinda

[balmy spire]

This sounds silly but I sometimes wish there was another year for development or something because the entire progression side of things feels funky

And like a regression from other games

Having everything battlepass focused is weird to me

[sacred tapir]

i mean i think its fine, i just think there needs to be more to work to

[balmy spire]

I would love an upgrade system like drg atleast

[sacred tapir]

i kinda think the "battlepass" thing is ok

i think that too

i feel like upgrades to the helldiver armor sets

like for ONE suit at a time

or being able to upgrade passive stats

on a particular set

like the engi kit, instead of 30% recoil reduction, maybe upgrades to a max of 40% over like 5 upgrades

[balmy spire]

Yeah, Also, am I crazy for feeling like the content flow is a little slow? They must be working on something big

[sacred tapir]

and it only works on premium armor sets? from superstore/premium warbonds

[sacred tapir]

they are

we still waiting for the illuminate forces, theres 2 other units

and still they are trying to get a 40k crossover (if they can)

[balmy spire]

I think there are way more than that for Illuminates right?

[sacred tapir]

they are just as much a 40k nerd as i am and i am here for that

[sacred tapir]

i only know of 2 others i saw

but one looks like a grunt from halo lol

just a little bit

[plain bough]

Well we'll see tomorrow if a sizable update comes, considering we got a new galactic map indicator for Illuminate

[sacred tapir]

we did?

[plain bough]

#🤖🐛🦑helldivers message

[sacred tapir]

i might try out the high explosive nades again, not the impacts

the fuzed ones

might be better

[balmy spire]

Whatever I want to whine about features that feel like they are missing but theres no point, I hope updates keep coming

[sacred tapir]

might get weapon customization once this update cycle is over

and we can hope for some light stat upgrades

for armor

or smth

i need only 250 SC for a new warbond, what should i get

[balmy spire]

Clans, weapon customization, armor upgrades, all that stuff I would love

[balmy spire]

What do you not have?

I'm getting polar patriots next, couple cool weapons there

[sacred tapir]

Which one: Viper Commandos, Polar Patriots, Cutting Edge, Chemical Agents or Urban Legends

i have all the others

[plain bough]

Polar Patriots or Urban Legends

[sacred tapir]

ah ok

[balmy spire]

Urban legends maybe? Mostly just because the cracked armor, if not cutting edge has a couple cool stuff for new playstyles, but polar patriots have a lot of good guns

[sacred tapir]

which one personally?

i dont need primary ammo dawg, im an arc thrower guy

who needs ammo

it does work on supports iirc

[plain bough]

good guns for polar patriots, urban legends for armor passive and strategems

[sacred tapir]

which IS nice

strategems are useless from UL aside from ATE

flame sentry is ass imo

because sentries

[balmy spire]

Cutting edge then

[sacred tapir]

are ass

imo

[balmy spire]

Cutting edge has an armor that makes you take 95% less arc damage

[sacred tapir]

ok thats a bad idea because it only has weapons and nades

[sacred tapir]

thats a worthless passive

[balmy spire]

I guess if your teammates doesn't also run it yeah

[sacred tapir]

i cant zap myself and no one uses arc except me

and im not dumb as rocks and i know how not to kill my team mates

so its never an issue

[balmy spire]

Cutting edge still has a lot of cool stuff

In that case then polar patriots is good

[sacred tapir]

ok, i do like the purifier

thats fun

its like the good version of the scorcher

scorcher is the dollar tree purifier

[plain bough]

pretty decent against groups of enemies too

[balmy spire]

The pistol is a good choice too

Smg is.... ok

Can be cool in some builds

[sacred tapir]

smg?

[plain bough]

Pummeler

[sacred tapir]

ah

[balmy spire]

Its like that base smg but stuns

[sacred tapir]

that thing

[plain bough]

concussive smg

[sacred tapir]

its basically just reg one

but a lil worse imo

because i have the halt

[plain bough]

tenderizer, suped up liberator basically

[sacred tapir]

which does it better

[sacred tapir]

i like the liberator

its fun

not bad either

better for bots than bugs tho

[balmy spire]

I wish gas was better

[sacred tapir]

bots have more front facing weak spots

[sacred tapir]

its great, unless sterilizer

[plain bough]

I've been using the liberator carbine with UL armors, the reload speed is stupidly fast

[balmy spire]

That gas warbond seems fun but too bad it's mid

[sacred tapir]

although i hate the fucking gas nades

[balmy spire]

The stim pistol seems cool too

[sacred tapir]

because a team mate is retarded and tosses it at a breach

when IM THE ONE CONTROLLING IT

[balmy spire]

I want to run a support build with stim pistol and supply pack

[sacred tapir]

go nuts

just bring purifier

[plain bough]

Noone I've seen uses the Liberator Concussive tho, I barely used it myself

[sacred tapir]

or a machine gun for it

you want versatility

[plain bough]

Kinda wish the carbine had the drum mag instead

[sacred tapir]

i mean anything but base lib is ass imo

libpen is ok

but theres also the adjudicator

which does it better

[plain bough]

adjudicator pretty good, just has quite the vertical recoil

[sacred tapir]

me when crouch + engi kit

ez

2 things easy to get/do

[plain bough]

yeah always subconsciously crouch to use the adjudicator

then I use the absolute brick the Jar 5

[sacred tapir]

i always use that on bots

[heavy sinew]

me with jetpack and nade launcher :

[sacred tapir]

crossbow got old ages ago

[heavy sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/minecraft-memes-gif-5320969042526362474

[sacred tapir]

its fucking booorrriiiiinngggg

[sacred tapir]

i prefer to become a 40mm mortar

but yeah that works ig

[heavy sinew]

go high press m1 few times > 3 stacked hunter patrols magically gone

[balmy spire]

I use the flame thrower and jetpack

[heavy sinew]

Remind me ya'll to never use railgun on bugs again

[plain bough]

Yeah you don't wanna use the railgun on bugs lol

[sacred tapir]

i was gonna ask how bad it was

but i knew deep down it would suck ass

i always use ANYTHING ELSE

im an arc thrower guy

but theres other things i will use

[plain bough]

No update today

https://tenor.com/view/glorp-glorpshit-mad-gif-12826934952903770254

[dire igloo]

arrowhead when 100+ employees and they can't make up the contents of a new update and a warbond with 3/4ths filler items and 1/4th something actually good

[plain bough]

Only guarantee is new warbonds every month n half

[bleak patrol]

Community when AH does literally anything, or nothing at all

[dire igloo]

if they are working on a new big system that has progression

and thats why they aren't updating

im all down for it

but after looking thru all the warbonds most of the armors have the same passives that are just number reductions and shit

[plain bough]

Welp, guess we wait and cope whether or not thursday has a trailer for a warbond next week

[bleak patrol]

Helldivers community is worse than War Thunder community, change my mind

[plain bough]

At least we're not leaking real life military documents about vehicles

[bleak patrol]

yet

But both could be worse

Could be Tarkov

[plain bough]

Iedy still trapped in scav hell

[balmy spire]

Wait they have over 100 employees? I thought they had like a few dozen

That makes the drip feed of content a bit more surprising

[plain bough]

That and the fact there's quite a few things unused in the files

[dire igloo]

dude its the fact they have sony

as their publisher

infinite sony money

[plain bough]

You'd think sony would make sure their cashcow pumps out more cash

[dire igloo]

like if there was a intricate system that requires them to think about what they add to the game

like overclocks in funny dwarf game deep rock galactic

id get it cus it takes good amount of time to come up with something wacky and fun

whats happening over there

[plain bough]

Guess we doing bots

[hasty sandal]

choohe is also reinforced by 4 planets, but its 1.50

something is definitely up

also squids just invaded 3 planets at the same time

[hasty sandal]

it dropped to 0.50

ty joel

[plain bough]

So next time next week we cope for an update then?

[hasty sandal]

surely omens of tyranny part 2 on the anniversary

for sure

[light nymph]

Can't wait for them to release another warbond with a skin in it for a vehicle that isn't even out yet

[spring quarry]

[bleak patrol]

Hey, that means the vehicle will be out

We didn't really have to wait long for cars

A person who doesn't spend 24/7 on HD2 probably unlocked the car skin after the cars became a stratagem

[dire igloo]

Oh God the squids greatest power

Killing us with boredom

i fucking loved that animation before it got striked

and the scene where he punches the psyker is so fucking funny to me for some reason

its overly brutal how the astartes holds him by the head, winds up and slams the fucker followed by the other one shooting him

idk why but it gets me

[hasty sandal]

history repeats itself

martale will happen again

[hasty sandal]

surely with 60% on chort we'll do it in time

[plain bough]

It's around 1% liberated atm lol

[sacred tapir]

we are losing :D

and im taking a little hd2 break, dont want to wear it out

so its not like i can make a 0.3% impact rn

[plain bough]

Also it says there's no jetpack brigade on Chort despite it being the main factory for em

Automaton lies must be

[pale hollow]

The short Astartes animation series was just way too high quality.

[sacred tapir]

yeah, they didnt like that it did it better ig

[pale hollow]

GW ended up hiring the solo guy behind the Astartes project as part of their great plan to monetize all things Warhammer behind a Netflix style subscription service.

[dire igloo]

And honestly it worked

I know 2 ppl who are subbed to that shit

[sacred tapir]

imma watch it though yt shorts

i will get the story eventually

once again the automaton legion got absolutely cooked by super earth forces

jet brigade really thought they were something frfr

[sacred tapir]

what even is the jet brigade?

the jet pack retards?

because if so, why are they even an issue?

i can just skeet shoot them like an american does clay pigeons

theyre laughably easy, they better not be the jet brigade

[hasty sandal]

exactly

[sacred tapir]

so they are the jetpack ones?

the ones that are no harder than the normal grunts?

the only time they pose an issue is when im out of ammo

but how tf does one run out of ammo with the amazon same day delivery resupply pod

[hasty sandal]

also the jeg brigade moved to menkent

and menkent is at 5.00%

• the dss is gonna move to menkent

[plain bough]

One supply line left to Meridia

[dire igloo]

Question of all time

If the illuminate are only sending their weak forces it means they are unprepared

So why dont we just

Go kill them

Thru the meridia

Is super earth stupid

[hasty sandal]

too dangerous

too risky

anything could be beyond the wormhole

Don't care

Supposedly Sony just did an oopsie recently and released a new warbond video that was quickly taken down

eeeegh seems its against the game's nature

we blow planets up for fucks sake

[plain bough]

Welp, we'll see within 2 weeks or so

[sacred tapir]

we have throwing knives

besides im pretty good at beating the bots into scrap silently

crawl up behind them, break their legs with melee

goes down instantly and silently

then use an OPS to turn the detector tower to scrap and jump pack away

Noone cares about marfark, let's destroy the Jet Brigade for unspecified amount of time

amen

down with the brigade

marfark was gonna get invaded 1 way or another

Tho it's certainly interesting the playerbase shifted to fighting bots without MO guidance in recent weeks

Now to see whether or not the super store also has new gear, they've been adding stuff for a while now

[spring quarry]

i need this

[steady zinc]

YOU CAN DIG WITH IT TOO

Even in the 22nd century they yearn for the trenches

[dire igloo]

You can fully cosplay a kriegsman now from 40k

[pale hollow]

I hope we get a ship upgrade that lets us deploy with a shovel.
Please Super Earth, I need my shovel, I will pay you in Super Uranium.

Holy shit, you can block a fucking titan stomp with the ballistic shield

[spring quarry]

my shovel

[plain bough]

Dig trenches quickly

[spring quarry]

I dig graves for the enemies of democracy

[plain bough]

I like how there's a bunch of changes not told in the changelogs, like bile titan bugholes lol

Can't wait to see how ugly the gloom version of terminids look like

[spring quarry]

gloom titans

[sacred tapir]

bro this warbond looks kinda shit

ngl

the only thing to get my interest is the teamkiller 9000 backpack

and the launcher pistol, im not spending my hard earned credits on this shit

im just gonna get the other things first

[plain bough]

I will, will tell ya how it goes

[sacred tapir]

i bet the only good thing is the hellbomb and the grenade launcher pistol

the outfits are dumb

they just explode after death

like martyrdom from MW2

[plain bough]

the laser rifle supposedly never overheat to a stop, it just keeps going while hurting you

[sacred tapir]

yes

yes it does

i think

idk i read it and it says it just burns you

so use flame res armor ig?

[plain bough]

Probably

though not sure how the projectile version of our laser weapons classify besides the scythe with it lighting enemies on fire after a while

probably the same tho

so fire resistant armor and vitality booster should be quite good if its the case

[latent zodiac]

lets fucking go

a box of stimms the size of someones head actually fully restores your stockpile now

and this is awesome

[valid hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/death-korps-gif-27301605

[sacred tapir]

CHARGE A FUCKING HULK WITH A SHOVELLL

im gonna chase down a charger and shovel it to death

[valid hedge]

you know

[sacred tapir]

i know

[valid hedge]

we don't have a semi auto lasgun

its all just charge ups

[sacred tapir]

true

but we also dont have a power sword

cant we have that? if we cant have astartes because "unbalanced" or some other reason (also theres no emperor thats built like a god to base them on anyways nor is there any reason to when the helldivers are still working anyways)

but a power sword cant be too much to ask

give it like 5 swings that can one shot anything smaller than a charger (2 shots chargers), but then its got a 10ish (upgradable) minutes cooldown

idfk kinda like a limitation since the 40k ones have a battery iirc

and those batteries are fusion batteries

like the backpacks

which are usually hard to shrink that small

[plain bough]

Looks like there'll be a combat hatchet on the SC store when warbond drops

[sacred tapir]

like a 5 shot quasar that is CQC, doesnt charge up, and doesnt 1 shot chargers, with a mega cooldown (in other words its not like the quasar)

[sacred tapir]

wheres the shovel? i havent played yet

[plain bough]

POI item, next to buried samples you gotta dig out, but you can make trenches

[sacred tapir]

OH the tool racks

[plain bough]

or any hole deep enough really

[hasty sandal]

[sacred tapir]

also does it take a slot?

[hasty sandal]

we got a doomsday clock in helldivers bruh

[plain bough]

Not too sure, haven't played yet

@potent leaf they buffed your gas weapons you enjoy.

[plain bough]

dogbreath gonna be good for bug front

[sacred tapir]

wait you said trenches?

hol up gotta install that kriegdiver mod

[hasty sandal]

also chat

just noticed theres a planet called "klen dahth II"

which is a starship troopers reference

[plain bough]

been always there from the beginning

[hasty sandal]

only noticed now

very cool

[potent leaf]

SHOW!

also i fucking called this

oooo

OOOO

dog breath now sprays EVERYTHING and all gas duration weapons now linger much longer

that's soooo nice

also the shovel digs

[bleak patrol]

We know

[potent leaf]

:(

[bleak patrol]

But it's still cool

[potent leaf]

:)

it IS cool

[sacred tapir]

i dug a 16ft deep hole

for no reason

then i proceeded to never get out

[valid hedge]

bout to dig to find the DRG crew

[sacred tapir]

is the new sickle medium or light pen?

because istg if its light pen its the most useless addition ever

[valid hedge]

both

shoots light initially

then starts to overheats and burn user but also does more damages and gains pen med

[sacred tapir]

ok so thats cool, but i could also just use adjudicator

or lib pen

or DCS

[valid hedge]

ok

[light nymph]

@potent leaf using Internet Explorer I see

[potent leaf]

sorry i got really into fortnite lately

haven't been up to date

[hasty sandal]

yeah but lazar……

[bleak patrol]

That's another reason to not use it

[balmy spire]

Sounds fun in tandem with the fire resistance armor

[dire igloo]

I cant wait to run at my friends with the portable hellbomb on my back

[narrow trout]

I assure you carrying a portable nuke on your back is an important part of being a helldiver

[dire igloo]

I mean surely you can live the hellbomb

With explosive resistant armor

[bleak patrol]

People will find a way

[bleak patrol]

[sacred tapir]

thats a poor use

[bleak patrol]

hellbomb survival is funnier

[bleak patrol]

Poor?

[sacred tapir]

You have no idea

[bleak patrol]

Had a nice chuckle

[sacred tapir]

ok the intent wasnt to anger it was to be mildly entertaining

[dire igloo]

I can live having dropped 3 380mm, 120mm x4 and 4 orbital napalms in a fucking super nest

[sacred tapir]

[sacred tapir]

this is why i just walk in and start tossing impacts and emptying GL belts in those nests with a supply pack

[dire igloo]

I carry boom boom launcher

[sacred tapir]

its never ending and precise

[sacred tapir]

which one?

[dire igloo]

Glory to la grenade

[sacred tapir]

ah

GL

im not USMC enough to understand boom boom launcher

[dire igloo]

The grenade launcher is fun

[sacred tapir]

it is

it depends on the front, bugs its peak

bots its ok

because the shrapnel RARELY hits the heads on devis and it takes 2-3 to down one

unless you directly nail them in the skull with the nade itself

[dire igloo]

Never happening

It just bounce

[sacred tapir]

yea

so its not good for bots

imo

its good for the calamari

but i think we need incendiary launcher version

[sacred tapir]

did yall see the leaks on the chainsword in the files?

if the leaks are true that is

but if they are im fucking hyped bc it could be a 40k crossover

[valid hedge]

[latent zodiac]

aint no way

i will fucking JUM

[spring quarry]

I NEEEEEEED IT

I NEEEEEED THE HATCHET

I NEEEEEEEEED ITTTTTTTTTTT

[spring quarry]

shovel and hatchet have the same animations

[plain bough]

Mask looks straight outta from Army of Two

[plain bough]

Using the new sickle you'll receive plenty of damage if you're not running vitality booster or fire resistant armor

end of the heatsink lifecycle lights you on fire

also new GL has 1 extra grenade not including the one already, can one tap a Harvester

[bleak patrol]

Handheld nuke
Medium armor penetration

[plain bough]

So far the sickle does no burn damage if you pair it with both vitality booster and fire resistant armor

[bleak patrol]

I won't use it anyway

Fuck energy weapons

[plain bough]

understandable, have a good day

[bleak patrol]

Give me bullets

I need more bullets

[plain bough]

Also seems we're scheduled to get an anniversary armor

[bleak patrol]

I hope it doesn't come with a 🗿 for a helmet

[plain bough]

just another recolored starter tactical armor tho, with Democracy Protects

[bleak patrol]

It looks nice

I like it

Wish we could just recolor stuff ourselves, but since we can't, I'll take it

[light nymph]

I want the white box

[bleak patrol]

The white box

Imagine if it actually was just a white box

[light nymph]

one can only hope

[bleak patrol]

(it isn't)

Overall

I like everything but the helmets

That includes the sickle, because while I hate it, a gun that hits me as well is funny

[plain bough]

the GL has a deceptively short range as well

So better aim a little higher

[bleak patrol]

Perfect

[plain bough]

also the armors explode like a regular handgrenade without shrapnel

[bleak patrol]

Will cause some funny moments

[plain bough]

so unless you're particularly close you're just gonna get knocked down

[light nymph]

Hmmm

It seems Meridia has been cutoff...

[plain bough]

been cut off for a few days now

[bleak patrol]

If I get killed by a teammate's armor passive, I'm gonna team kill them until we run out of reinforcements

[light nymph]

[plain bough]

So far we gotta do more Illuminate invasions to prevent dark energy build up

[bleak patrol]

That's not a threat, that's a promise

[hasty sandal]

we got chrome dome armour now

[latent zodiac]

time to SC farm
fuck i hate how i love this game

[balmy spire]

Does the hatchet have anything special?

Extra damage but no stun?

Also that helmet

[latent zodiac]

fuck that noise
bought SC because i could

[pale hollow]

If the new grenade launcher is able to delete stratagem jammers, then what is the point of the portable Hellbomb?

Portable hellbomb is pretty good lol

[spring quarry]

No
This is literally shovel, but not dig

[balmy spire]

Kinda shit then

Does look cool though

[spring quarry]

i don't know, it's kind of cool to have a melee weapon, but it's made in such a way that you can only use it for fun and it's kind of sad

[plain bough]

Been using the hellbomb backpack as a way to clear groups chasing me lol

[plain bough]

I use that helmet with the medium fire armor

[valid hedge]

but does it look good with this peak physique armor

i think it does personally

[plain bough]

Yeah, almost looks like something from Army of Two

[plain bough]

rather interesting alot of players are going for the Illuminate invasions now that the Dark Energy indicator is up

[dire igloo]

almost forgot to hop on helldivers and get the hatchet really quickly

a grave mistake wouldve been made

[valid hedge]

i'm not going to lie

i kinda prefered the cars older handling

i was used to it

now i have to readjust

[valid hedge]

i used it on some bots last match

[dire igloo]

going to rock the tac shield with it

[valid hedge]

i just went raw physique type shit

[plain bough]

Running into bug nests with the portable hellbomb and dropping it is funny

[valid hedge]

decent enough bot loadout, taking FRV, HMG, Walking Barrage, and some form of eagle.

the FRV took a shit ton of shots and didn't explode for a long ass time

[hasty sandal]

cuz the thought of a giant evil purple ball pulling up to super earth and engulfing it is very scary

its got me stressin

[plain bough]

that dark energy indicator is still going up regardless

[hasty sandal]

exactly

[dire igloo]

You think i could wear the portable hellbomb and have the shield and axe at the same time

And just run into a factory or nest last man style

One prays for this cus usually if you equip a backpack you drop your shield

[valid hedge]

i don't think you can

since they are probably both backpack strats

[sacred tapir]

they are

even tho one stays on your arm the whole time XD

[valid hedge]

double edged sickle with fire resist armor and vitality booster makes you immune

until you get set on fire

People actually did math on the API, the energy rises based on currently active illuminate invasions.
It has a passive decay of 1,1.
Each invasion causes an increase by 1.
So two or more invasion = increasing dark matter

the new weapon raise emote is peak cinema when you have the axe and the ballistic shield

[heavy sinew]

raise emote is giving me almight vibes, imagine surviving hard ass fight and just hitting that emote in front of approaching bile titan

https://tenor.com/view/all-might-one-for-all-all-for-one-deku-my-hero-academia-gif-26423801

also im pretty sure they buffed the autocannon

the recoil is WAY less

[dire igloo]

Good that thing sucks if ur not proned

[heavy sinew]

autocannon still has alot of glazers no matter if its buffed or nerfed

[bleak patrol]

Players when fun:

[heavy sinew]

idk bro its just more fun screaming "STOP RESISTING" while mauling votless with stun stick

[dire igloo]

Yea most enemies basically take no melee damage

The ones you can really fight are the voteless and well the whatever the fuck melee warriors with energy spears and shields are on the illuminate side

I tried fighting a bot with melee weapon and it didnt go well

[bleak patrol]

I tried fighting bots with melee and it was a major success

Berserkers are particularly weak to a spear to the head

[heavy sinew]

nah staff overseers literally fold me in every direction like they're batman and im a mugger who stole a piece of bread

[bleak patrol]

Overseers are weak to melee too

The stun baton... Stuns them

And then you can just pummel them

[heavy sinew]

meanwhile hatchet does shit 😭

[bleak patrol]

Hatchet is for the strong

[heavy sinew]

Idk they feel the same minus the stun for hatchet

[bleak patrol]

Don't know, don't care

[heavy sinew]

I'd like for it to have higher limb damage atleast so it can feel like a sidegrade rather than "weaker" stun stick

They're probably gonna break back the task from the first game

The one where you had to get a metal detector and scan for unexploded artillery and disarm it

Watch em make you dig that shit up

(Also, the fact your helldiver in HD1 headbutted unexploded ordnance is really funny)

[bleak patrol]

My only complaint about the shovel is the fact that it takes up the support weapon slot

I'd trade my secondary or even the primary for it, but not the support

[pale hollow]

I need a stratagem version of the shovel that digs much faster

I want to dig a trench in 10 seconds

[bleak patrol]

Ok, hear me out

We got a car, right?

How about

An excavator (sounds less sus)
