[hasty sandal]

say it used one of its cannons to shoot down an attacking interloper, but the helldiver ordered a stratagem that uses that same canon

what happens

[plucky lion]

i just assume it's using the rail cannon that nobody bothers using XD

[hasty sandal]

well I suppose there are 2 of each thingy except for the big cannon at the end

[plucky lion]

i would also assume it would have some kind of weapon system dedicated to close-in defense

[hasty sandal]

this reminds me

since the Great Host has weapons that attacked the DSS

surely they can use those weapons to pick off super destroyers

[plucky lion]

true, there should be an epic space battle ongoing...

[hasty sandal]

fr

but probably not done for performance reasons

[plucky lion]

arrowhead gib us new game where we fight in space :). think Eternal Silence but helldivers

if u never heard of eternal silence it was a pretty sweet concept that combines massive ship v ship combat with attendant fighters and bombers and even infantry combat inside the massive ships

couldnt pilot the main ships, but could fly the fighters and bombers

[hasty sandal]

sounds rad

[plucky lion]

yeah it was a shame they never made another one

[plain bough]

random ass match with the whole team camping evac not doing objective for whatever reason

[plucky lion]

had one of these a couple months ago. i had to do everything by myself. very weird

[muted seal]

What warbond should I get next? I have borderline Justice and viper commandos, not sure what else is good.

[hasty sandal]

democratic detonation

[plucky lion]

steeled veterans

[hasty sandal]

polar patriots

[cloud sorrel]

democratic detonation

[plucky lion]

using the senator + the armor passive from borderline justice is a fun time. revolver gunslingin

[muted seal]

Probably this one

It just takes so long to grind SC

It took me 7 hours to get 1k yesterday

Is there any faster way besides doing trivial until my eyes bleed?

[plain bough]

I always feel like SC rates are bumped up before and after release of new warbonds

just for a bit

[muted seal]

No other method besides just pure tedium then?

[plain bough]

playing normally with decent RNG gets you quite a bit, but fastest is tedious grind at low levels

[valid hedge]

give AH money

[plain bough]

goes faster with others ofc

in other news, ergonomic dominator is weirdly good to use

[sacred tapir]

there probably is

it is a super destroyer, which would lead me to assume theres other types of ships

maybe a "super carrier"

[valid hedge]

can't wait for customized munitions

[sacred tapir]

or a "super dreadnought"

maybe

for space combat

because a destroyer was used more for infantry support/bombardment

iirc

[plucky lion]

i would expect a destroyer to have a screening role in a space battle

[sacred tapir]

i mean it seems destroyers function more as a sort of troop carrier/support vessel

not so much as a space dogfight thing

[plucky lion]

well at least thats how we are using these ones for helldivers

maybe they have ones specialize for helldivers and ones specialized for space combat

[sacred tapir]

i mean look at the design

does that thing look like its maneuverable

effectively i mean

i dont think you would use that, i think you would get something slightly smaller, and with higher velocity guns

or even just laser cannons, which could be expected on large vessels, would be easy to get laser/quasar and make it bigger

[hasty sandal]

the destroyer is designed for mobility and ease of deployment

[sacred tapir]

not for dogfights, i doubt it has good turn radius

or rate

it seems to be best at fast in one direction

[hasty sandal]

tbh I dont think any faction has anything for dog fighting and the like

all the war is on the ground mostly

[sacred tapir]

yeah, its still in WW2 mode

mostly bombardment/CAS/ground battle

with a side of sabotage

[hasty sandal]

in helldivers 1 were there more than just destroyers?

[plucky lion]

everybody be like : fighting in space sucks, lets just wave as we fly by eachother in orbit and then murder when we get on the ground

[sacred tapir]

no idea

im speculating

[dire igloo]

is there any armor with the primary reload faster passive that isn't light or heavy

[sacred tapir]

no lol

[dire igloo]

need the next warbond to recycle that passive

[spring quarry]

Need more samples boosters

more

more

MORE

[plain bough]

Can we get 2 more sample boosters so we can run full sample whore runs

[spring quarry]

Yep

[plain bough]

See yall in july for the next sample booster warbond

[spring quarry]

And next ctrl+c ctrl+v melee weapon

[eager cliff]

i cant wait for Humanity Revived Warbond where after Super Earth failed we are sent back to the stone age , we get a pickaxe and a shovel for melee

[spring quarry]

[eager cliff]

armor passive : valiant stand - you look extra poor

[plain bough]

super earth has decreed your jordans are not democratic enough

[spring quarry]

Skin for car

[plain bough]

wonder if the next collab gonna cost an arm n leg to purchase it again

[eager cliff]

probably , the CEO said in the discord that it was tough for them this period and that they are lucky the playerbase is very big

and ppl buy the warbonds

so yeah Sony putting pressure on them

fucking Concord

[plain bough]

papa sony should make sure their cashcow stays nice n fed

[spring quarry]

the "standard bearer" heavy armor looks awesome, once again confirming that a collaboration with warhammer would be super. if they did something in the same style approximately

[sacred tapir]

nah ur fine

just dive bro

[valid hedge]

walking barrage my beloved

[heavy sinew]

they finna make me dive 6ft under 😭 🙏

[sacred tapir]

me after using the entirety of the destroyer's cannons

just use ALL the barrages

its fine

[heavy sinew]

I took out 2 of them before DOUBLE STALKER NEST started mass producing these mfs

also whats ur favorite drip guys?

[graceful compass]

ngl the amendment is kinda good

[plucky lion]

its not nearly as bad as the whining makes it sound

[shy schooner]

Been rockin this one for about 400 hours

[valid hedge]

[shy schooner]

I like my red hat :D

[valid hedge]

What about the truth enforcer one

Not the full red one

The white one

[shy schooner]

Uhhh

Nar

[plucky lion]

luv me some Democracy Protects

[spring quarry]

helldivers doesn't want to start if discord is open in the background

I love anti-cheat

[eager cliff]

what are you doing on bugs helldiver super earth is falling

[spring quarry]

[eager cliff]

nice gonna take 1450 day to update now

[plain bough]

We get a marker now for where our super destroyers are positioned at

[steady zinc]

Is this loss?

[plain bough]

Casual new enemy for the illuminate, Leviathan

[plain bough]

moments after disaster

[spring quarry]

[dire igloo]

Rookie numbers

[plain bough]

No more shall you be confused on which super destroyer is yours

[dire igloo]

Next warbond

August

Whos excited!!!

[eager cliff]

wait why does it matter

[eager cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/walkingdead-rick-in-a-tank-rick-grimes-stunned-tweaking-gif-27257285

[dire igloo]

The game needs more electricity weapons so bad

[plain bough]

So you don't accidentally fuck yourself with an orbital that comes at an angle

like airburst

[eager cliff]

airburst has an angle?

[dire igloo]

If the next warbond isn't arc/electricity themed

[plain bough]

Cause they decided to put destroyers on the corners of the map now

[dire igloo]

There be consequences

[eager cliff]

yeah we should have gotten one like that now since we fight illumiantes with zombies

[dire igloo]

I REQUIRE a minigun that slowly ramps up and shoots electricity

[eager cliff]

arc is good here if u dont play with monkeys

[plain bough]

laser minigun strategem

[eager cliff]

I REQUIRE a Minigun

[dire igloo]

NO

[eager cliff]

bullets are fine too

[dire igloo]

ARC ELECTRICITY

End of story

Ive had enough of these fucking laser weapons

We've had enough

[eager cliff]

Minigun / Fallout laser gatling

[plain bough]

tesla cannon

[dire igloo]

A tesla rail that just infinitely pierces enemies would be awesome

Like just a huge fucking gun

You cant shoot it properly without proning

The guns size is taller than your helldiver

It would look cool

If you shoot it while standing up or crouching your character gets flung and ragdolled

[eager cliff]

[dire igloo]

Need more gimmick weapons

Need more stupid bullshit

Also arrowhead: here take a light pen rifle thats just straight up worse than the deadeye and diligence counter sniper

[plain bough]

the amendment ain't half bad

the super earth city maps are surprisingly fps friendly

[plain bough]

oh the super destroyers also reposition themselves on the city map to get better angles on orbitals

[graceful compass]

I think it’s really fucking good

The reload speed and ergo kinda suck

But other than that the thing is a fucking workhorse

[latent zodiac]

super earth missions are fun

if a bit confusing, took a bit to shoot down the overship

also orbitals are a but scuffed, but they eventually get the job done

sorta want to see what super earth would be like fighting the bots or bugs

[earnest stag]

@muted fossil diving later?

Otherwise i will dive on the mother

[graceful compass]

I wish I had an Ivan speech bubble image

[earnest stag]

We need that

Also we need Ivan to sing barbie girl on my funeral

[muted fossil]

yes, always

I love how the capital , Prosperity City is in Sweden where Arrowhead are based

I love how the whole UK was nuked

[graceful compass]

The UK specifically is hysterical

What’s the red x

I can’t play till after work mannn

[plain bough]

I also find it funny when you sprint reload the amendment, you just yeet that magazine into the distance

[muted fossil]

I love a lot of the small details with reloading

the liberator lines where you just huck the mag like its personally offended you makes me smile

[eager cliff]

@graceful compass

they just said fuck it and glassed mars

lmfao

[plain bough]

Rip Mars

the start of many a helldivers journey

[eager cliff]

damn we have lower reinforcement budget whatttt

[plain bough]

Now the new helldiver training center is somewhere remote

[graceful compass]

I was laughing when I saw that

Shit was obliterated

[eager cliff]

People said its on Super Earth itself now

in one of the reservations or remote locations

[eager cliff]

they train helldivers there fawk that

glass it

[plain bough]

I see leaks that there's hella ammo types

[eager cliff]

damn 121k players almost

[plain bough]

weekday and not even peak time

Can we hit 200K I wonder

[graceful compass]

Probably

It’s jobless hours rn

[muted fossil]

its 2:30pm europe

that player count is about to sky rocket

[muted fossil]

i think the best thing about the new trailer is all the different armors and weapons in it for once

[eager cliff]

huh true on that

probably showing everyone is defending Super Earth wherever they were before

[graceful compass]

“Boom. Headshot.”

[plain bough]

planetary defense cannon hidden under the playground

[eager cliff]

Super Earth moment

holy shit @plain bough @graceful compass the reason they added your Super Destroyer marker

is because now the fucking thing moves around in the sky , trying to position itself to get the maxmimum coverage for stuff

so if u throw a gatling in front of a building, sometimes u notice a delay , its because the thing moves a bit around the building a bit

[plain bough]

I said this earlier lol

[eager cliff]

i dont read everything

[graceful compass]

I didn’t know there was a marker I haven’t been able to play

[plain bough]

but yes it takes quite a bit to to move about

[eager cliff]

yeah

[graceful compass]

Cool though

[eager cliff]

yeah depends on the angle

it does take even 5-6 seconds extra lol

[graceful compass]

My orbitals yesterday were flying in at fucking 50 degree angles

[plain bough]

Still won't stop me from launching orbitals like its a buffet

[eager cliff]

Oribtal Napalm inside the mega city and we turned Helldivers into Walking Dead

[graceful compass]

An air bust covered the same range as a damn cluster bomb and obliterated my teamate down the street

[eager cliff]

[graceful compass]

I watched the single air burst pellet scatter my friend to the wind

[muted fossil]

all the ship repositioning has done is make me switch from wide scale orbitals to precision ones

[plain bough]

It does a good job launching single orbitals for grounded warp ships

[muted fossil]

ye

but because of the angles it sometimes picks, the gas strike is less reliable for killing parked ships than normal

ops is better again

[plain bough]

Still have yet to down a Leviathan

[muted fossil]

Im almost done with my writing

[plain bough]

Mainly cause I don't bring anti-tank weaponry

[muted fossil]

then I'm hopping back in

[graceful compass]

Orbital precision needs a shorter cooldown and a slightly better AP blast radius and just general blast

It should be one of the best stratagems imo

But it’s not

[plain bough]

Orbital railgun staying a skeleton in the corner forever lol

[muted fossil]

I dont really agree, its already one f the fastest and it deletes things it hits

[graceful compass]

Yeah that thing has no niche

[muted fossil]

gas strike is the only one faster that comes to mind

[graceful compass]

Only if it directly impacts which is ass

[muted fossil]

and gas strike needs a direct hit to kill structures

[plain bough]

either give it charges or vastly lower CD

[muted fossil]

tbh I think it depends on the front you're on, which strats you'll say are good or bad

like gatling bombardment is S-tier vs squids

but I wouldnt bring that for bots

[plain bough]

gatling barrage and airburst works for warp ships too

[muted fossil]

ye

[graceful compass]

I love Gatling

[muted fossil]

Gatling is just my comfort pick

[graceful compass]

OPS should have same CD as Gatling

[plain bough]

Gatling works for every occasion

bots, squids n bugs

[muted fossil]

its like a 6 second difference

[graceful compass]

I thought it was like a damn near 30 second dif

[muted fossil]

I dont tend to bring it for bots cause I like my emp strike on them

[eager cliff]

Gatling is my S tier

ever since they buffed it twice , the cooldown and then the fire rate

[muted fossil]

I'll go check before I misinfo

[eager cliff]

shit slaps

[muted fossil]

when they made airburst and gatling into space shotgun and space minigun

best day of my life

[median trellis]

[muted fossil]

sorry, a 17 second difference

[plain bough]

Loading a single shot precision strike takes longer than a full drum from the gatling lol

[graceful compass]

90 second base to 70 second base

[plain bough]

the loading crew needs more meth in their diet

[graceful compass]

(I don’t have max upgrades)

[eager cliff]

well could be that they have drum boxes ready

to just replace the minigun

my question is

Why is Railcannon 200 seconds still

[plain bough]

Pretty sure one of the modules said it was manually reloaded before we upgrade it

still no tier 6 modules too tho

[muted fossil]

its a muzzle loader

one of the upgrades talks about changing the manual muzzle loading to manual breech loading

[graceful compass]

The concept of muzzle load is hysterical

[plain bough]

Our super destroyers really are cheaply made

[muted fossil]

Our default armor

is made from the same metal as our destroyers

[graceful compass]

That means it’s good right

[plain bough]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pPGgHieWok

[muted fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/helldivers-hellpods-helldivers-to-hellpods-gif-5111937040159626878

[plain bough]

The only real good thing about super destroyers is the always accurate orbit to surface weapons its got

[eager cliff]

we didnt get a custom soundtrack did we

[graceful compass]

Shoot at red beacon

From space

99.9% success rate

[eager cliff]

i wish they would change the themes for planets , i got tired of the illumiante music theme , its pretty shit

and sleepy

i want smth dynamic like Cyborg ost from hd 1

[graceful compass]

Music off for hd2 kek

[eager cliff]

well makes sense considering they mega mass produced them and they also give them to random recruits trained in 5 minutes

i wish however that we had Capital Ships or smth as well

at least for super earth or whatever

we have the DSS which is incredibly underwhelming

[muted fossil]

The DSS would be less underwhelming if fuckwits didnt keep voting it into anti-DSS space

[eager cliff]

No because nobody plays other planets now anyway

So it would literally be pointless for the DSS to stay in orbit on Dickhead 2 planet that nobody cares

We should get a MO to destroy % of Illuminate Leviathans so the DSS could safely return and help SE

[muted fossil]

[eager cliff]

What if we stole some shield technology from illuminates and engulfed the DSS in it

😼

[muted fossil]

we already did that for our packs and call down bubble

so maybe in another 4 years we'll think about it

[eager cliff]

[graceful compass]

Raw dogging those stock liberators with no sights

Man why does your game look so chopped

I LOVE the repositioning of the Super destroyers

THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT TIME FOR PELICAN ONE TO BECOME A CALL IN DUDES

Has anyone fought the Leviathan?

even Antarctica is to

[muted fossil]

killed 3

its 5 spear hits to down one

[potent leaf]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'VE MADE IT TO SUPER EARTH

[plain bough]

They're on super earth now, and they glassed mars

F in chat for mars

[potent leaf]

IS pluto ok?

[plain bough]

Yes, cause it doesn't register as a planet even for illuminate, sadge

[eager cliff]

its probably the screenshot and discord fucking it up or shit

or i think it uses my 1080p instead of my 144p idk

to render it

[potent leaf]

i'm safe

[plain bough]

We losing eaglepolis rather fast

[hasty sandal]

do you think they'll let us keep all 7 super cities

200K helldivers and we're barely holding Eagleopolis

[eager cliff]

21.5 % illumiante fleet destroyed so yeah i expect us to be raw dogged

[plain bough]

In other news, it's been less than 12hrs and we nearly got 450 million illuminate kills

which sounds rather bugged?

[muted fossil]

nah

the swarms pick up

[valid hedge]

@dire igloo

[muted fossil]

those clear skies missions are doing serious work

[plain bough]

it's the new defend n evac citizens mission now

[muted fossil]

[plain bough]

If you don't keep pace you're getting overwhelmed

[muted fossil]

honestly, the mech suits are the answer

[plain bough]

Haven't tried that yet, mainly cause I don't wanna see a dozen elevated overseers shooting my mech to shit

[dire igloo]

the game just works

[eager cliff]

This MO will take a few weeks i think

We are barely at the first City

[muted fossil]

we've done patriot and emancipator now, and generally theres no issue

legit only a matter of not face tanking a tripod laser

[plain bough]

It did say this campaign will span multiple MOs

[muted fossil]

or getting focused by a lev

[eager cliff]

IN MY HONEST OPINION

We need to have rare but scattered better stuff around like Mechs in some bunkers , Quasars or recoilleses or some other guns

Even normal guns like purifiers etc

Sitting in bunkers or rare spots

[muted fossil]

some of the poi's have autocannons

[plain bough]

It is Super Earth, there should be everything scattered about since we're defending the heart of democracy

[eager cliff]

Also , they should add some citizens with the bolt rifle lol

together with SEAFs

That would be cool easter egg

[muted fossil]

I feel like they'll add more poi's with stuff as the war continues

[eager cliff]

Probably yeah , they are cooking well

We are eating good

[muted fossil]

technically each drop you do today is the first drop in that location

[plain bough]

I need moar strategems to bring ruination to illuminate

[muted fossil]

the grenade barricade is doing work on SE as well

[eager cliff]

true

[plain bough]

what are the chances the DSS get some last minute upgrades as well when it inevitable comes back

[eager cliff]

oh yeah i love blocking the little alleys

also with the car

i took the car to block a 3 way alley

[muted fossil]

unlikely but we hope

I would love to see the DSS show up to save the day after all the hate it gets

[eager cliff]

i am expecting this will be it but probably when we need the edge to push them back probably

ppl think we gonna lose SE but i doubt it

unless they fuck up smth on the way like nerf shit again or whatever

[dire igloo]

YOU WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO

https://tenor.com/view/rally-dirt2-bmw-car-crash-car-roll-gif-20713788

[muted fossil]

I think the devs said that this isnt gonig to be like HD1 wars

[plain bough]

It's gonna keep on going

[muted fossil]

where you lose SE and the campaign restarts

but also we have 7 cities to fight over

and the illuminate lost a 5th of their fleet before they arrived, with only 80k people fighting back

[eager cliff]

Technically even the Eagles now are getting shot apparently by AA so i guess after we solve this issue somehow , then maybe slowly we get the DSS back up

i suggested maybe we can upgrade it using one of the capital ship shields

[muted fossil]

I would be surprised if we lose 3 cities

The eagles are getting hunted by stingrays

[plain bough]

I await you supposed ammo types for my Dominator

[muted fossil]

high velocity

peak if true

only thing I dont like about the dominator is the travel time

[plain bough]

It is in the files apparently, still need more testing ig

[muted fossil]

The seaf squads have been in the files since day 1

I'd love to see their storyboard of planned content

[graceful compass]

There’s a good chance we never see ammo like that anyway

Stuff that lived and died in the game files happens all the time

[muted fossil]

i mean at this point its just a new catagory for the weapon mods

which we also never got "official" confirmation on them coming, we just knew it was in the files

airburst launcher leaks were talked about the same

so really, who knows

[graceful compass]

I’m gonna be honest I’m blown away by the fact that the attachments are as potent as they are

[plain bough]

Mainly benefitting that vertical grip and compensator combo

vertical recoil away

[graceful compass]

I mean yeah the attachments are boring but they are good

Angled shouldn’t reduce recoil

And the vert grip could be a little weaker on some guns imo

Vertical recoil got deleted this patch

[eager cliff]

Bro the tenderiser has 5 vertical recoil

FIVE

at 850 rpm

shit is more accurate than the laser

[muted fossil]

tendi has 500 rpm no?

[graceful compass]

Tbf that gun already was a fucking beam

[pale hollow]

Need me a belt fed Tenderiser

[graceful compass]

I thought it was 600 and 850

[eager cliff]

it has 650 and 850 , it got buffed recently to mimic the Halo BR / AR

[muted fossil]

meanwhile, my scythe remains stupidly effective against squids

[eager cliff]

I think it was the funniest combo , Scythe + Laser Pistol

i dont need to take support weapon

cause i can deal with most shit except the planes i guess

and now the fucking leviathans dude those things are too accruate at range

they fucking headshotted samantha while inside the car

moving

[muted fossil]

planes are medium pen, so laser revolver can down them :P

[plain bough]

Your head got taken off at evac too

[eager cliff]

Literally aimbot , like they miss and they they insta headshot , they remind me of Tarkov AI

[muted fossil]

Its crazy how the fleshmob went fgrom being the biggest threat to these stingray + leviathan suprise attacks

[plain bough]

the mission to destroy 50 ships being much more difficult when 3 leviathans patrol the area

in a wide open environment

[muted fossil]

The fastest kill we've done on a Lev so far

has been two of us with patriots dumping missiles into it

[eager cliff]

i got crushed by a landing ship on that mission, i was reloading my recoilles and fucker just landed on me casually

[muted fossil]

the spear is bad for the landing mission :c

[eager cliff]

spear dropped in popularity sadly

maybe they should add an extra missile on the back idk

[muted fossil]

it hits super hard and its lock on is amazing

but the fact the illuminate have shields and composite armor jsut make it bad for them

[eager cliff]

yeah

[muted fossil]

literally the only things you can one shot with the spear are the stingrays/interlopers and the fleshmobs

[eager cliff]

playerbase going uppie

[muted fossil]

on the bot front, you can one shot everything with a spear except the strider

[true basin]

[plain bough]

tank emplacement ftw for bots, they move too slow

[eager cliff]

oh yeah thats where i used it , even on bugs , its S tier versus chargers and biles

[muted fossil]

I love the spear

I use the wasp a lot now because its really good for squid front

and its reload and ammo count are just way too solid

[eager cliff]

Aye it 1 shots the flying fucks

all of them actually

so its good

[muted fossil]

1 shots seers, 2 shots interlopers and stingrays, 3/4 shots fleshmobs

[eager cliff]

especially since it seems they decreased the fleshmob spawn but increased the overseer spawn + you have 15 leviathans sometimes

[true basin]

I dive tonight

[muted fossil]

you get a lot of potential kills from a single wasp mag

and it reloads full from supply bricks

[true basin]

I join the squid front and dunk on some squids

[muted fossil]

the squid front is super earth, bober :P

[true basin]

my super tacos

How dare they

They will pay in blood

[muted fossil]

I love all the signs in the city that are like

"CAUTION HELLDIVERS INBOUND"

[true basin]

"Acceptable casualties imminent?"

[dire igloo]

the TNT

is such a good

grenade

I threw it

33 kills

[dire igloo]

wait are they ACTUALLY adding ammo types

[plain bough]

It's in the files, not used tho

[raw folio]

Hm.

[muted fossil]

[true basin]

Possible cinema moment if you can run around with different ammo types

[eager cliff]

damn i want my m61 ammo

[granite nest]

super earth made my game crash

first game

[true basin]

Your pc isn't super enough

[raw folio]

Found the dissident

[granite nest]

15fps

I failed the objective but extracted

[hasty sandal]

ah shit they're attacking 2 cities at the same time its over

[plain bough]

It's joever, we need to nuke em to orbit

[true basin]

Nuke and start over. Everyone drop the nukes to your backs, our sacrifices will save super earth

[muted fossil]

i just realized why it feels like theres less squids on SE than on the other planets

all the fucking civilizans and seaf are eating the spawns

[true basin]

[raw folio]

Doing their civic duty

[true basin]

Being cannon fodder for us

[muted fossil]

so many of them on the field that enemy mobs aer reduced xD

[true basin]

Im sure as they die more and more squids show up?

[muted fossil]

yeah but more civis and seaf spawn as well

[true basin]

[muted fossil]

[true basin]

Was gonna play SC again tonight

But now I need to dive

[muted fossil]

I go eep, good luck on def

[dire igloo]

cant rock gas, minefields or anything along those lines

cus the citizens LOVE running into GREEN GAS

AND FIRE

[plain bough]

We need some citizens with their constitutions firing

[dire igloo]

we need citizens with above 1 braincell shared across all of them

[true basin]

The only thing they're good for is voting tho

[raw folio]

Acceptable losses.

[muted fossil]

those are called hell divers

[true basin]

My life for super earth!

God that phrase takes on a whole new meaning now that we got bomb packs

[plain bough]

Scoring regular 80 kills

[true basin]

I'll use airburst again, and score a tasty 120 and still be alive

[graceful compass]

damn near 200k

[hasty sandal]

pic I took of some common samples

[graceful compass]

lmfao

[eager cliff]

thee send me ur friendship code

or u add me

[eager cliff]

ughh gimme 2 sec

[dire igloo]

Dudeeeeeeeeeeee

lvl 10 difficulty

[graceful compass]

didnt work

[eager cliff]

thats my steam

[dire igloo]

the fucking mission where you just run around the map and destroy ships

[graceful compass]

o

[dire igloo]

HELL

I was fighting like 40 overseers

at the same time

while killing ships

[graceful compass]

i will however be playing with someone else until further notice

Reverse

[dire igloo]

dude

what I hated is

I was watching better call saul on my television when I was in like 2nd year of highschool

and cause its fucking cable

the channel just stopped doing new episodes after that one where he bonks his head

instead they would just replay the fucking show again from episode 1 to that episode

[sacred tapir]

Bro needs netflix lmao

[eager cliff]

HAHAH real this happened to Naruto back in my day

Well technically Naruto OG ended so i was waiting to see whats next and then i see 1st episode bagamiasss

then i discovered free sites and i watcehd like all day

[dire igloo]

DUDE

I WATCHED THE ZABUZA ARC ON CN

AND THEN THEY NEVER PLAYED NARUTO AGAIN

[eager cliff]

People will never experience the pain of waiting for next naruto episodes , especially the war arc , and get filler for some dogshit character instead

[plucky lion]

if u watch anime waiting a week for 20 minutes of joy is just normal life

[hasty sandal]

💔

[plucky lion]

LOL

like how it blames the squad leader when a bot guns you down

[sacred tapir]

oh wait we got seaf?

neat

i havent played

[dire igloo]

"face the wall"

also

look at that fucking city

whos gonna rebuild that shit

[valid hedge]

not my problem

[hasty sandal]

the trillions of super earth citize-

[loud bison]

definitely not the ones getting caught up in my 380s

[valid hedge]

or under my wheels

[loud bison]

"their lives were in your hands"
yeah, well, they should've been in a bunker

[dire igloo]

yea actually why the fuck arent they in the bunkers

theres so many bunkers around the map

I find 3 per mission

and theres so much space

wtf are they doing

[true basin]

It's that vaultTec bunker

[hasty sandal]

not enough for everyone + illuminate will just figure out how to open them up

[plain bough]

https://youtube.com/shorts/3mPkqQQetMw?si=SIZoUN5f9qytLfX6

[bleak patrol]

I find the new rifle to be...
...actually pretty good

Even though it's light pen

[graceful compass]

6 mo ago it would have been 95 dmg not 200 just sayin

its a very good gun

[bleak patrol]

I'd still use it if it only dealt 95dmg because I don't really care about that

It works really well for me against the squids which is the only enemy I use light pen against anyway, cause it doesn't really matter

Plus it has a bayonet

So I can fully benefit from using Peak Physique without having to use a separate melee weapon

[sacred tapir]

neat thing about the illuminate, grenade launchers shred their squishy bodies

except the flying geriatric ones

those bastards are annoying

just fell through a super destroyer, feelin good

[bleak patrol]

I dunno, they are a good target practice

[sacred tapir]

yeah, the issue is 20 of them is annoying

[bleak patrol]

Nah

[graceful compass]

overseers are the only overtuned enemy in the game

also, i remember not being stunned for so damn long after a ragdoll back when i played more?

like you get hit and reset to the prone animation and you used to be able to instantly run again but now you have to wait a second. also getting stunned out of stims by light damage is ass

[sacred tapir]

im getting random crashes

[sacred tapir]

yeah

[sacred tapir]

me when i lie:

also anyone else getting random crashes?

[bleak patrol]

Except I don't lie

[sacred tapir]

i just keep randomly crashing mid mission

[sacred tapir]

there you go again, lying

[bleak patrol]

I don't find them annoying

[graceful compass]

no issues on dx11 so far

[bleak patrol]

What's so hard to understand there?

[sacred tapir]

almost everyone but you has trouble with 20 flying overseers

[bleak patrol]

What, can't accept that a random person on the internet disagrees with you?

[sacred tapir]

which is the norm in all my illuminate games

give me a level 10 bot dive no issues

but level 10 squid?

never

always sucks

[bleak patrol]

[sacred tapir]

i prefer 7 on squids

[graceful compass]

i was duo with my friend on the level 10 missions they were all fun until a particularly bad layout on the rocket launch defend

[sacred tapir]

8-9 casual bots

and 10 bugs anytime

[graceful compass]

and like 50 consecutive meatballs in a conga line

[bleak patrol]

I expected the meatballs to be harder

But then again, they apparently spawn on D1

[graceful compass]

i think they are a perfect enemy niche

[bleak patrol]

So they can't be too hard

[graceful compass]

i have a feeling thats really an oversight

[bleak patrol]

Probably

[graceful compass]

the uh

new interlopers are there too iirc

[potent leaf]

meatballs have more hp than tripods

but no armor so heavy machine gun shreds 'em

[graceful compass]

i enjoy setting them alight

[sacred tapir]

i enjoy just shooting 1/5 of my stalwart mag at them

[narrow trout]

cowards

CHARGE FORTH

NUKE STRAPPED ON YOUR BACK

TAKE THEM ALL WITH YOU

[sacred tapir]

half the time they space out, they dont clump like they used to imo

so you take like 5 with you

[bleak patrol]

Literally my first encounter with them was me seeing a few of them, being excited for the new big boys, and then they were all dead a few seconds later because HMG

And so, every meatball after the first encounter was treated by me with the urgency it deserved - none at all

[graceful compass]

man im sorry you are just a god at the game and cant enjoy anything

must really suck

[bleak patrol]

But I do enjoy it

I enjoy murdering the enemies

I don't care how strong they are, all I care about is that they end up being dead

[valid hedge]

i hate leviathans ngl

they blow up my car

[true basin]

Challenge them to a race around the city and then, when they inevitably overtake you, shoot them dead

https://youtube.com/shorts/3mPkqQQetMw?si=KeRK14nYWIrYa2OF

For my fellow helldivers, I present you, this video i found

[valid hedge]

well

this shouldn't take long

[true basin]

I will assist with the slaughter

[eager cliff]

damn we are killing the shit out of them

[eager cliff]

minus the ears ofc

[dire igloo]

Only when I finish a mission on super earth

Theres a chance of crash

[plucky lion]

anyone else finding these super earth mission maps just... uninspired and boring? there is practically no verticality to the maps

and a lack of variety of objects around as well

[scarlet edge]

Stop this undemocratic Talk at once

[hasty sandal]

It’s been one day

[dire igloo]

Tbf

You aren't wrong

But also I think this is what a futuristic city would be built like

Just 1 dimensional, simple and boring

Look at todays cities, its just gray, brown and black and glass sky scrapers and shit

Its pretty accurate so I am not bothered

[eager cliff]

Indeed it's ughhh part of the aestethic , you know how in the future everything looks like the same and has the same layout and shit , here they even say the A+ citizens inside the city are equal in every way

i guess they meant that literally

everyone has the same house with the same lawn with the same outfit etc

[eager cliff]

What i did notice is that , it seems to be less illuminate overall on the ground except the Landing Ship missions

where they swarm you

i dont rly get swarmed on the other missions compared to the 3 planets before lol

[muted fossil]

all the civi's and seaf take up the swarms

[eager cliff]

and i play only dif 10

maybe maybe

[muted fossil]

its like how if you spam eats, and dont pick them off the pod, you can prevent enemies from spawning

[eager cliff]

how so lol

[plucky lion]

man i'm glad civilization collapse is probably going to prevent this from ever happening then!

[muted fossil]

pods count as entities

[eager cliff]

Tarkov coding

[muted fossil]

if you shoot pods they'll give you a kill streak counter

so if your squad spams eats because of the low cool down, you can lock out the engines spawn equation

[plucky lion]

agreed. there is a bit less illuminate around

[dire igloo]

I got chased down by 20 flying fucks yesterday at the same time on diff 10 on this mission

[loud bison]

[eager cliff]

yeah those are crazy

[plucky lion]

airburst rockets are bae when shit gets too heavy

[loud bison]

i have noticed we get an indicator where our destroyer is as well as a notification its moving to dump an orbital

[dire igloo]

Dude what I hate is

Eagles arent viable cus 30 extra rearm seconds

[plucky lion]

meanwhile skyscrapers blocking call-ins lol

[dire igloo]

Orbitals are nerfed cus ur ship has to reposition and the time varies from 5 seconds extra to 20 seconds extra

[plucky lion]

not as bad as fighting in thejungle but still annoyinf

[eager cliff]

not only that but you can hear the engines if its a bit quiet

[loud bison]

oh no shit?

[eager cliff]

yeah

you can hear the engines start up and moving around

[loud bison]

neat

i can see why the warbond is a bit lackluster

[dire igloo]

Fucking idiot citizens walk thru minefields and gas and fire

So that isnt viable either

[eager cliff]

i need 200 sc and imma buy another warbond, probably the cowboy one for the hover pack

[dire igloo]

Like what am I supposed to use

[eager cliff]

cause its fun af

[muted fossil]

hover pack is so much fun

[plucky lion]

yeah on the defense missions the dumbass SEAF soldiers like to run into the mines i use to block the entrances...

[muted fossil]

wasp launcher, hmg-e, gatling orbital, ops

[eager cliff]

if you kill 6 of them or civils by mistake you get orbital striked instantly by your destroyer as traitor

without a warning

you just die

[loud bison]

nothing is viable so just use whatever tbh

[plucky lion]

lol whaaat

[eager cliff]

yeah

[loud bison]

if nothing is viable, then everythign is viable

[muted fossil]

legit the only things I dont think are viable on super earth are napalm and gas

[eager cliff]

they changed it now , i think at 2-3 civil kills the democracy officers tells you you are supposed to protect them

[muted fossil]

everything else works fine enough

[eager cliff]

if u kill 6 in total they just wipe you out

[plucky lion]

i also lost a mission where u had to kill a certain number of warp ships in 20 minutes somehow. i still had 9 minutes left so i have no idea how i lost

[muted fossil]

its got an area control bar

[dire igloo]

I exploded yesterday cus 20 citizens decided doing a 90 degree turn straight thru my minefield is a smart idea

[muted fossil]

too many ships on the ground = mission over

[dire igloo]

I love citizen AI

[plucky lion]

annoying....

[dire igloo]

[loud bison]

couldn't super earth just giver the civilians the martyr armor? they're going to die anyways

[plucky lion]

yeah gas isnt working that well due to not many good choke points

[muted fossil]

the warbonds we've gotten recently represent how super earth is running out of supplies

[plucky lion]

so the next warbond is gonna be flintlocks

[muted fossil]

Urban Legends - Stun batons and crowd control stuff used in cities
Servants of freedom - suicide vests
Borderline Justice - weapons used on low pop planets
Masters of Ceremony - Ceremonial weapons for morale

Its probably not meant to be a meta narrative, but it would be funny if it is

[plucky lion]

man im glad almost nobody uses the suicide vest armors

when it first came out i had to refrain from sticking too close to my squad lol

[muted fossil]

The only friend of mine that actively uses the suicide armor also uses the firebomb hellpods

[plucky lion]

so basically ur friend just hates everyone

[muted fossil]

we treat her as a strategem weapon

[loud bison]

whatever go my scarab

[dire igloo]

Le copium

[eager cliff]

while i love the idea and appreciate the creativity

dont give a shit because we are waiting 2 months for them and they are seen as content

• they could also make them not shit while keeping the aestethic

the idea is great

the execution dogshit

[muted fossil]

honestly, I dont even know what people are complaining about in regards to the warbonds. I'm not on the subreddits anymore so I dont get funneled the constant whining about what could be different

[light nymph]

dam, would be a great idea and thematic IF THE PRICE REPRESENTED THE LACK OF QUALITY/QUANTITY

[plucky lion]

i usually dont whine either. it's a pretty great game. just these new maps feel so inferior to the old maps i couldn't help myself heh...

[dire igloo]

The flag

When you carry it on your back

Blocks your vision when you aim

Not to mention melee weapons overall in this game just suck

If it gave a team wide buff in the area around the flag carrier

It would be a pretty ok stratagem

[muted fossil]

I dont see this, why does it need to be a buff

[dire igloo]

Why not give more gimmicks

It takes up your 3rd slot

You could have literally anything else

[muted fossil]

nothing forces you to bring it either

the flag is something people wanted because its in the opening cinematic and asked for it for a year straight

[dire igloo]

It just looks like a lazy filler stratagem

[muted fossil]

its legit just fan service to all the posts asking for it

[eager cliff]

sure but doesnt mean we cant shit on it if bad

which it is

[muted fossil]

you already have a ton of strategems, you dont call them filler just cause you pick your fave's
