[cunning escarp]

[sacred tapir]

Just gotta aim for meatball legs

Since otherwise it goes past and into narnia

You want the cloud

Honestly pairing it with coyote

[cunning escarp]

Its probably the most A- tier utility weapon out there. Kinda wish the cloud was a bit bigger

[sacred tapir]

Works wonders for killing fleshies

[cunning escarp]

But that would be kinda op

[sacred tapir]

Its big enough i feel

Unlike epoch

Big plasma ball for teeny shitty AoE

[cunning escarp]

Yeah that def missed the mark

[sacred tapir]

Mark? What fucking mark?… oh you meant the one in the next area code

Got it

[dire igloo]

The fully defined tier list shall be released with help of helltards™ when I unlock and test the epoch as it is the last weapon I have not used

[sacred tapir]

So far off shit needs a bus to travel to the mark

[cunning escarp]

Ive been trying to mixup loadouts, but its so hard to stray from eagle strike/laser/strafing/gas strike/napalm/500

[sacred tapir]

Best support weapon from a warbond?

[cunning escarp]

Is gatling really that good?

[sacred tapir]

Tell me thoughts

[sacred tapir]

Yesh

[cunning escarp]

[sacred tapir]

Best used on bug breaches

Imo

[dire igloo]

Ive been using 500kg for long enough to say its lowest A tier, highest B tier

[sacred tapir]

Also well used on bots

[dire igloo]

Cause the game is funky

[sacred tapir]

When you need shit to not follow

[cunning escarp]

Sterilizer clearly S+++ tier

[sacred tapir]

It is

[dire igloo]

Im making the tier list when Im home

[sacred tapir]

Yeah, i change my mind, clearly speargun cant compete with the original gas support weapon

[dire igloo]

[sacred tapir]

Preemptively put epoch in F

Just trust

Also epoch in B on that list is a CRIME

[cunning escarp]

I'll see if i can find a template

Disclaimer: For me, C tier is "its usable but prob has better niches."

Also i dont remember which icon is the liberator guarddog and supply pack, so assume those could be swapped.

Havent gotten to test the solo silo extensively, but it feels kinda gimmicky.

[dire igloo]

It stinks

3 minute cooldown

Cant destroy objective buildings

Cause its 1 level of destruction lower than what it needs to destroy them

A singular

Level

One

thanks arrowhead

[cunning escarp]

Ehhhhh

I kinda get why they would do it from a balance standpoint.

It would trivialize things. But also we have the hellbomb backpac

[dire igloo]

No kan

Man

Its a pve game

[cunning escarp]

So idk what they were smoking

Exactly

[dire igloo]

No need to balance jack shit

Fun over balance

Unless its like blatantly op

[cunning escarp]

I think they were leaning towards "you gotta interact with the game a little bit"

[dire igloo]

Like a primary that kills shit super fast and has infinite ammo

[cunning escarp]

Hellbomb pack is balanced bc you gotta deliver the bomb at least.

[dire igloo]

A missile silo of the size of a little bit more than a 500 kg should destroy the detector towers

Its that shrimple

[dire igloo]

Pretty sure the hellbomb would still have a lower cooldown

[cunning escarp]

Fuck it, give it napalm aoe after it goes off

[dire igloo]

Plus the hellbomb has a larger radius

[cunning escarp]

Big boom and area denial

[dire igloo]

Napalm would still be better cause its a long lasting effect

Sadly

But that would make it better indeed

[cunning escarp]

I wish amr's ammo economy was better.

[dire igloo]

I just want to be able to destroy buildings, it would be balanced still

Cant use it on city maps

Cause it just flies into the buildings

[cunning escarp]

True. It was nice for strider convoys when i used it.

No clue why the hell the dropped it in a warbond based around fighting in caves

[tawny mirage]

That counter should not be relied upon. It’s a damage value calculation. Say an enemy has 100 health and you land 300 damage. It would show 3 kills. Backpack is B tier because you must store it near team mates, making it less useful

[dire igloo]

Take increased reinforcements
Let that backpack fly

Also I tested it because I didn't believe it at first either

So I played on a open map with illuminates

It does indeed chain to 31 enemies

30 without upgrade probably

Chains less if enemies have higher hp

Unlike arc thrower which has it capped to 7 enemies

On bugs it chained 10-15
On bots I got 10 chains because theres mostly on medium units

Probably also depends on armor type the enemy got

Considering if you stun a hulk with a arc thrower it usually chains to +1 max

If lucky

[tawny mirage]

Yes. I find there to be better options. Grenade battlement I find absolutely no use for. Warp is a bit niche for my taste, you may beg to differ. Same goes for the packs. The reason I have such a good opinion on supply packs is that you can use it to clutch really bad situations. Keep in mind that my playstyle is heavily focused on kiting so I prefer more meds. Also note I primarily go anti swarm. And 9/10 times when something may seem too low, my answer is “there is a better option that fits how I play”

[tawny mirage]

Maybe? Was it fixed recently? Brought a hellbomb to super earth a few times and I could get kill streaks in the hundreds when there is very obviously not 100 squids there. I think the effect is more noticeable on bots with a purifier. Snipe a single bot and you somehow get 2 or 3 kills

[bleak patrol]

Flag is S tier cause there are no traitors in this household

[cunning escarp]

Big true. Seems like general consensus is AMR kinda mid, smoke orbitals and ems are ass, walking barage meh

Definately give the gas backpack a chance on bugs

[bleak patrol]

I'd use AMR more if I could aim it in 3rd person

[tawny mirage]

I’d give it more if it’s handling wasn’t ass

Good for cred farming tho

[dire igloo]

minus the epoch

for those that go "why orb gattling so high"
60 second cooldown high pen and clears swarms mega effectively

it just gud

napalm could be maybe top of A, too many napalm glazers in my friend group might have been highly affected by them

[sacred tapir]

No it really is that good

I say thats fair

Epoch would be F or D anyway

[dire igloo]

F just doesnt do damage and I think rail cannon just sucks

needs 2nd charge or lower cooldown

[bleak patrol]

I put rail in S because in my personal experience 9/10 times it's just a tool to reduce the amount of heavies by 1 and as a solo player it makes a big difference

1/10 times it's a Harvester

[tall urchin]

I fucking hate the illuminate

[bleak patrol]

Me too

But I'm still not sure of I hate them more than bugs or not

[sacred tapir]

I def hate them more, fleshmob is worse than 12 bile titans for sure imo

[plain bough]

fleshmob and elevated overseers get lower HP and everyone will love Illuminate again

[sacred tapir]

Not even overseers

Barely a problem imo

Coyote moment

Just slams them down in like 7 rounds

Ez

Fleshmobs just waste time

Not hard or anything

[bleak patrol]

I no longer have a problem with most illuminate enemies since I figured out that Eruptor counters most of them

[sacred tapir]

It does tho yeah

I just cba with fleshies

[bleak patrol]

Fleshmobs die in 3-5 shots and Harvesters get fucking bounced around by it, it's hilarious

[sacred tapir]

Would still take them over war striders

I just dislike war striders and their 2 shot minimum kill

Max charge railgun

[dire igloo]

he meant the flying fucks

[sacred tapir]

Lame that it takes 2

[bleak patrol]

I never had an issue with war striders

[sacred tapir]

Yes, barely an issue anymore

Coyote hard counters

[bleak patrol]

Just aim a rocket at their legs

[sacred tapir]

RR?

I use railgun for funsies, and it just takes 3 shots on average

Lame imo

No weakpoint

Unsafe shots btw

[bleak patrol]

Since I always use RR on bots, when I first encountered war striders I was like "yay new enemy" and then I immediately blasted it's leg off and was like "damn this shit lame as fuck"

Instantly deleted, didn't even get a chance to aggro on me

[tawny mirage]

War striders are cancer

[sharp gorge]

As soon as you can't deal with them immediately it's wraps for player agency

[tawny mirage]

Same problem I have with the hive lord, but to a lesser extent

[rotund niche]

i personally haven't ever had an issues with the squids besides meatballs walking through environmental things

that is really frustrating but overall i kinda enjoy them

[sacred tapir]

Well thats because RR is just OP at this point

If it didnt only have 6 total shots itd be off the chain op

But since its not, its ok i guess

[bleak patrol]

I wouldn't say it's op, it's just a plain, old, standard anti-tank weapon. 1 shot, needs a stationary reload every time, takes away a backpack slot

It's meant to remove one target that annoys you at a time

I miss the days when it used to destroy clanker dropships in one shot to anywhere

[bleak patrol]

Once I found a decent loadout for them I started "enjoying" them a bit more, but they still do that thing where they just don't know when to chill and stop spawning even more shit around me when I'm not done with the previous 10 waves of shit they spawned in the last 5 seconds

[rotund niche]

usually with squids i run the mg, ammo backpack, napalm airstrike or barage, and the smaller mg turret

almost never die with that loadout

[bleak patrol]

I don't die, I just get fucking annoyed

[rotund niche]

i get more annoyed with the bugs

[bleak patrol]

Last squid mission it took me around 20 minutes of going back and forth just to reach one objective cause of the amount of shit that spawned when I wasn't looking

[rotund niche]

what is your guys' opinion on defense missions

[bleak patrol]

Shit

[rotund niche]

yeah

fucking boring

[raw folio]

I appreciate y'all giving airburst its due

[bleak patrol]

It's not a bad weapon, it's just situational

[plain bough]

22hrs to get Karlia or we fail MO

[bleak patrol]

Should be fine

[sharp gorge]

It's not even completely stationary, you can skip the last of three stages and do a pause between the first and second

[empty zealot]

What y'all use hmg for?

[bleak patrol]

Big gun

Mostly for styling on the enemies cause actually trying to aim it is not worth the effort

However it's very good if you can lie down and just let it do its job

With heavy armor penetration it can deal with a lot of stuff

[sharp gorge]

Still funny how Shield Devastators' shields have infinite armour value

[empty zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-perfectlybalanced-gif-18301221

[plain bough]

indestructible shield

[eager cliff]

yeah idk why they didnt make them armor 2 with high hp and just like break them

pieces from then

[sharp gorge]

Uhhhhhhhh fuck you that's why, Automaton burrowing enemy is just those shields stapled together

[bleak patrol]

They have Tank I (5) armor value
They do however have infinite health

[twin nebula]

I kept hearing voteless grunting next to me even tho there was nothing

[bleak patrol]

Last mission I had one voteless clip under terrain and follow me around

[plain bough]

I've had voteless under the map following me that can still hit me

[loud bison]

switched headset to use bluetooth
seems to be way less stutter

[light nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/viking-tribes-of-midgard-video-games-emote-gaming-gif-15556229

[cunning escarp]

I ran eruptor, talon, stalwart, supply pack, gas nades all through super earths defense. Flak mode autocanon also shreds on that front

[bleak patrol]

I tried to use stalwart and then decided I will never pick up that weapon ever again

[cunning escarp]

Squids are 80% just a dps check vs burst dmg, with just enough medium+ armor enemies to fuck you over if team doesnt spec into it

[bleak patrol]

Team?

I play solo

[cunning escarp]

Half the fun is with the homies

[bleak patrol]

That requires homies

[cunning escarp]

Queue pub lobbies and make some

[bleak patrol]

No

I still find the game fun to play alone and I refuse to play with randoms

[cunning escarp]

You do you

Sometimes i like to get shitfaced, throw the parade armor on and larp in the lvl 1-4 lobbies helping recruits

Nothing more democratic than showing dif 1 divers the power of saber charging your problems

[rancid ibex]

What is this from

[plain bough]

Flashgitz, Space King 3

[plain bough]

yippie

[plain bough]

Very fast upgrades, also casually polluting the atmosphere of karlia with aerosols

[eager cliff]

we turned the DSS into a very big air filter

[bleak patrol]

So does it mean we can just send the DSS into the gloom like a very big roomba and make it eventually clean it out

[rancid ibex]

Imagine we failed this MO

[sharp gorge]

Super Earth explodes

[loud bison]

it wasn't looking good spending two days on one planet

and then the minor order where nothing progressed

[tawny mirage]

i just hate fighting squids

[steady zinc]

They fall into that weird spot where they are too tanky for normal guns, but not threatening enough to waste heavy weapons for.

[tawny mirage]

they arent

fun

[loud bison]

real question: will ArrowHead continue Windows 10 support?

or will they pull a capcom and discontinue support, leaving it to be unstable over time?

[eager cliff]

i mean why would they remove windows 10 support if its the most used OS in the world

There are still games that run on windows 7 even

[rotund niche]

it would be stupid to not continue support

[loud bison]

it would be, but that ain't stopping anyone

so far I've only seen Capcom make the announcement

[rotund niche]

whenever win10 gets too unbearable ill probably bite the bullet and switch to linux possibly

[loud bison]

I used the powershell method to activate the 3 year ESU

but yeah, at the end of that, it'll probably be Linux

[tawny mirage]

im switching to mint the day windows 10 is discontinued

fuck windows 11

i refuse to be the product

[tawny mirage]

that same dude when he sees 3 hunters

[plain bough]

Bot MO, they got some secret shit going on again

[eager cliff]

a yes the 5 fps stutter enemies

[bleak patrol]

Finally some decent enemies to fight

[loud bison]

I think I've narrowed down my stuttering to the controller
it's fixable if i leave at as wired and just unplug and plug it back in

[loud bison]

one more level on the pummeler and it's done

[tawny mirage]

Finally, some decent food

[green loom]

A friend of mine had the same issue but uninstalling and reinstalling the Microsoft game input drivers was the only fix

[loud bison]

hmmmm
that did lead to me discovering three different input applications trying to run at the same time

uninstalled one and disabled GameInput Redist Service throught the Services application

and just leaving GameInput Service as the only one running
seems to have worked for now

[tawny mirage]

well shit

i can never change my armor again

this bug is glorious

and from what i can tell, others can see it

[sacred tapir]

headless horseman lookin ass

https://tenor.com/view/thy-hood-gif-10147806755358414500

but you never can be the head of a company again
or get ahead in a competition

[tawny mirage]

or get head

oh shit its not even registering the head slot

oh shit

that means that i can have any armor

fuck yeah

[cunning escarp]

New enemy for the bot MO just got leaked

[dire igloo]

Ugly piece of shit it is

Will be blowing it up gladly

[rancid ibex]

Ah, the mini version fo the Factory Strider. The Facider

[eager cliff]

yes please more Armor 5 instakill enemy spam pls

also the design is kinda lacking with this one

[cunning escarp]

Im shitposting, its just a condensed factory strider

I would love to see patrols have a mule unit with a jammer or something on it

Give it a bubble shield that only activates onces aggro'd like the illuminate walkers

[dire igloo]

Great news

Arc guard dog has a bug where theres a chance he can insta 1 shot hulks

I love me dog

Always knew this bitch is S tier

[cunning escarp]

Time to finally unlock it

[scarlet edge]

Its not a bug, its a feature

[sharp gorge]

Probably shoots the eye or something

[dire igloo]

Tbh it will go unfixed for years to come

So yea it'll become a feature

[dire igloo]

The arc weapons always aim at the eye

And they dont 1 shot it

This is just a bug

Its like spinning a wheel of fortune

[scarlet edge]

Its lore now

some hulks arent equiped to defend against arc throwers or something idk

[bleak patrol]

It will get fixed cause it's done by a niche weapon not used by everyone and therefore we can't have it

[sacred tapir]

1 in 16 chance or smth shit

Still shit tho

Still takes 30 seconds for 5 devs

Thats so shit its impressive

Libdog just aimbots heads, less than 10 seconds probably

[bleak patrol]

It doesn't even seem too unusual now that I checked some shit

Arc Dog deals just enough damage to kill a hulk with an eye shot

So it's most likely not even a bug

[loud bison]

waking up to only 3% progress on Lesath

oh yeah, it's going great

[dire igloo]

the fuck you mean less than 10 seconds probably

libdog has medium pen you moron

hulk is heavy armor

or tank I forgot

point is you said something stupid

[sacred tapir]

Youre retarded

I said 10 seconds in the context of devastators

Dickhead

[dire igloo]

im talking about

hulks

you blind fuck

use ur eyes

convo about arc dog 1 shotting hulk

duuurgh me devastaro diedeth from guard drone

[graceful compass]

It’s okay babe he’s retarded

[bleak patrol]

Anyway it's probably not a bug

With hulks having heavy armor and its eye only having 250hp and being a fatal spot, and arc thrower / arc dog having anti-tank III penetration, 250 normal damage and 45 durable damage, it should be possible for arc dogs to one tap hulks from time to time with eye shots

[sacred tapir]

yeah i know

and it still sucks against hulks

sure it can one shot

but i can do that 3x easier, and hulks are a literal joke

borderline FODDER enemy, you can just kill them so easily

if it could 1 shot a war strider or some shit, then itd be worth talking about

DEMOCRACY IS NON NEGOTIABLE! - Liberty Prime, Helldivers Enjoyer

[plain bough]

those damn poors

[steady zinc]

I keep some games on my HDD.

[plain bough]

it's funny how they immediately try to tear em up

[graceful compass]

Dude when it gets the point where they estimate the amount of HDD users at 12%

Genuinely threw up in my mouth

I wonder how many of that estimate are also only using HDD because it’s too big for their SSD

Holy fuck

[steady zinc]

What if you use both?

[graceful compass]

You got two seperate hd2 installs or what

I do not understand the question

[steady zinc]

Is this data collected by HD2?

[graceful compass]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-funny-wtf-jesse-walter-white-gif-25245234

[steady zinc]

"Even the Steam user surveys are unable to give us data on mechanical HDD use in the overall gamer population."

They just pulled that number out of the air.

[graceful compass]

Why would they pull a number that small out of the air though?

They have to get that estimate SOMEWHERE

I say fuck em, I’ve had to delete HD2 several times at this point because I do not play it enough to justify its absurd file size

It’s not like an SSD is some unattainable thing, there’s enough priced around the same price as a full game

[steady zinc]

Pretty sure SSDs get slower the more storage is used up.

[graceful compass]

It would be great if the file size was that much smaller then

[earnest stag]

Nah man mines 9 years old and only has 100-300gb free since then

Its a 2TB Samsung i got for not even 100 bucks

It still sits at 97% health and performance

People that dont use ssd's nowadays are companies that use Hdd's for long time storage,people that are poor (despite ssd's being dirt cheap by now) or people not having reliable access to them

And they cant pull reliable numbers cause not everyone fills out their Surveys

According to Steam,most people still use 10xx Generation Nvidia cards

Those are ancient by now

And if its really a massive change it will happen anyway just like the stop of W10 support

So get ready to update your slow ass shitrig

[dire igloo]

You need around 100 gb to 200 gb free

On the ssd

For it to work properly

And wow! Helldivers is just in that range of size

God arrowhead needs to have a fucking truck filled with feathers plowed through their HQ

[rancid ibex]

Now I don't discriminate on poor gamers, cuz in the end they still gamers, but gotdamn, I don't think HDD users should even bother playing HD2 because it's still an unoptimized spaghetti code of a fucking game

That's not even a price of gaming thing

[heavy sinew]

so you had a hulk breeding grounds and a fucking war striders as their bodyguards

[sacred tapir]

i just hate the fucking war strider so much

no weakpoints, tough as nails and generally just a bitch

2 bunker cannons and grenade launchers

[heavy sinew]

yesterday one strider SOMEHOW grazed me with one of his grenades explosions and it ragdolled me so hard I noclipped inside of stratagem jammer instantly hitting the invisible wall inside and dying on spot

[plain bough]

ragdoll into a cheeky mine

[sacred tapir]

[heavy sinew]

fighting factory strider convoy next to stratagem jammer vs fighting 3 war striders on hot planet (you'r stamina is too short to outrun all this bs)

[sacred tapir]

real tho

[heavy sinew]

Is it me or randoms I join lately upgraded their lobotomy to fucking DELUXE PREMIUM edition

they spawn you next to a factory strider convoy, they get ABSOLUTELY curbstomped, I somehow manage to run away with my life dropping all support stratagems and reviving them in a safe spot and this is a thanks I get

[plain bough]

ah yes, the overconfident helldivers who drop in a hot zone but can't hold their shit together

[heavy sinew]

I guess the host's ego got shattered at the tought of someone overcoming their stupid ass decision making

[plucky lion]

they were too busy blaming you for their failure to notice u were trying to help

[heavy sinew]

It isn't even single case this week, yesterday I dropped into like very late game of bots, they had like 3 lifes left, I dropped in, defended the host from entire horde of heavy devastators, managed to destroy half of outposts, I left ALL supplies for them, I destroyed one of the objectives alone and I made sure to even shoot down dropships from like second end of the map so they have to fight less bots and this is the outcome of my generosity

like at this point just make private lobbies if you hate the tought of randoms carrying you 😭🙏

[plucky lion]

sometimes you carry people and they hate you for it. it doesnt make sense, but people forever remain people

i have been kicked several times after carrying hard

[plain bough]

I heard it was the act of trying to keep the team together instead of people splitting off, but usually they can't even handle themselves so why not split off and do some objectives faster

[heavy sinew]

my favorite type of lobotodivers are the one's who spam space bar to ask for revive when you're trying to disable stratagem jammer

[plucky lion]

well yeah actually if ur group is weak splitting up would probably be a good idea. one group dies a lot to bot drops while the other one gets stuff done

[heavy sinew]

I was always lone wolf in missions in a sense that 3 people take all the heat while I run around the map doing objectives and outposts

[plain bough]

then getting kicked so they respawn faster lol

[heavy sinew]

works like a charm

[heavy sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/sticker-yung-joc-crying-meme-man-crying-meme-thebeyonderrrr-gif-828328460466032722

or they kick you right after you disable jammer cuz they're that petty

[plucky lion]

especially if that lone person has mobility equipment. they can get the objs done in 10 mins while everyone else is just blasting shit

[plain bough]

Me clearing the whole map while 3 goobers stayed at the area we dropped at the start of the mission

[heavy sinew]

when democratic detonation warbond dropped I ran jump pack + eruptor + arc thrower (It worked suprisingly good on bots before escalation of freedom update) and I was speedrunning objectives

[plucky lion]

the worst ones i have met are the ones that take some kind of offense for some reason but dont do anything about it until we are waiting for extract, THEN the kick me. those people are cunts

[heavy sinew]

nowdays I run like coyote/lib-pen and quasar + warp pack / jump pack cause of these FUCKASS SHITASS STUPIDASS DUMBASS WAR STRIDERS

[heavy sinew]

happened to me this month, I joined some bug missions these guys used ALL the lifes they had biggest skill issue ever, I managed to solo completly 2 objectives and while reviving them along the way when budget allowed

I dropped the 3rd guy next to evac I started countdown and they all 3 went to mega nest and kicked me as a thank you...

BUT THEY MADE SURE to aggro bugs along the way so their aggro will transfer to me

so I was doing last stand there like Noble 6 in halo reach except I was too angry to die

[plucky lion]

oof

[rotund niche]

its fucking annoying when randos decide that they want to use 10+ reinforcements fighting some random group in the middle of the map

you have legs, use them to go to an objective

[heavy sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/lord-farquaad-markiplier-deepfake-some-of-you-may-die-but-its-a-sacrifice-i-am-willing-to-male-gif-20850950

ahh players

[rotund niche]

i mean i almost exclusivley play sos beacons so i have a pretty high tolerance for bs, but sometimes its just confusing

[heavy sinew]

funniest shit is when you throw them away from the heat and they get annoyed that you dont throw them at their support weapon... OH YOU MEAN THE SUPPORT WEAPON WICH IS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY LIKE 5 DROPSHIPS WORTH OF TROOPS?

[rotund niche]

i fucking hate it when you get revived literally across the map even though you have a team mate next to your corpse

[heavy sinew]

and afterwards they refuse to pick up shit I send down for them like WDYM YOU WANT YOUR RR with 1 rocket left in it when I dropped you quasar cannon + warp pack...

[heavy sinew]

ofc but when everyone is being chased you kinda just go with a kobe instead of dropping guy at the same spot where he died cause there's like 6 hulks on his stuff

[plucky lion]

you know... so many randos throw me right into the fray like i am a strategem that you got me thinking you may be on to something. maybe a lot of people just think that (dumb) idea so when i throw them somewhere safe like i usually take the time to do they think im wasting time/running from the battle

[rotund niche]

oh i get that, im talking in not intense situations, neither squad were really engaged and i might have just been retarded and walked over a mine or something

[heavy sinew]

then yah ofc its annoying but it happens way less often for me

most randoms drop me in middle of 4 bile titans like im a fucking 500kg bomb

thats why playing with friends is just superior

[plucky lion]

yeah my friends at least tell me in advance we are hot dropping on the heavy base

(usually)

[heavy sinew]

when Into the unjust dropped I decided to get my friend helldivers 2, I made sure that his first drop was diff 10 oshaune

https://tenor.com/view/devious-evil-plan-black-man-gif-12266137632145859812

[plucky lion]

oh god

we were trying to raise the flags on oshaune.. trying to hard... but the they came so fast and heavy it wasnt possible to ever clear the flagstand. they would spawn faster than we could kill them. it was horrible

[heavy sinew]

That mission with the truck was lowkey impossible with hive lord around

he would just spawn in, flip your truck, puke on you and dip

[plucky lion]

i played that mission ONCE only and i wish i clipped it

[plain bough]

still was glorious to see and fight a hive lord for the first time, but yeah impossible with the oil rig

[plucky lion]

because everyone died, i was alone, and somehow managed to get to the last stop and finish the objective about 200 miliseconds before dying

[heavy sinew]

This was my first interaction with hive lord, I felt the trembling and looked behind me and this voiceline dropped

I did NOT knew what I was signing into so I dropped with fucking stalwart 😭🙏

[rotund niche]

most of my friends that played hd2 don't really anymore, its sad

[plain bough]

It's in a need of improvement rn

[heavy sinew]

absolutely

the file is 150GB on PC

and they blame it on HDD users (in big 25 btw)

[rotund niche]

one of my buds was actually retarded about hd2 when it came out, he for some reason was under the impression it was like squad or something where the lobbies can be 50+ people

idk how he got that impression, literally nowhere in the advertising did it ever portray that kind of game

[heavy sinew]

I think blud confused it with starship troopers game

[rotund niche]

no, the dude is just fucking retarded when it comes to some things

[heavy sinew]

even in opening cutscene it shows 4 helldivers since they're working in group of 4s

[plain bough]

probably confused it cause the trailer showed plenty of helldivers in different gear so he thought it was all lumped together in one session

[rotund niche]

i tried to ask him where he got that impression and he kept dodging the question with "idk advertising"

[heavy sinew]

I have CoD slop eater classmate who I told about 100% price increase in gamepas I recommended him to just get a pc or even a steamdeck because it will come out cheaper for him in the long run

and he just went "B-B-BBUT MUH CALL OF DIUUUTIIII" like mf 🤦

[rotund niche]

what confused me the most is he didn't end up liking the game because it was "wave based hoard clearing"

bruh, your most played game is payday 2

[heavy sinew]

if you pay subscription to play ONE game you might aswell deadass just sell the console, get a steamdeck with charging dock and connect it to your TV to get same effect

[rotund niche]

i wouldn't recommend the steam deck for newer shooter titles tbh

[heavy sinew]

I guess, yeah but even then he should just get a pc for god's sake because 100% increase in subscription is diabolical work from xbox

[plucky lion]

its a PvE game. imo these kind of games are inevitably plagued by this due to the lack of another intelligence working against you, forcing you to constantly adapt. the content treadmill is supposed to mitigate this, but it's not really a 'fix' because its not a solvable issue barring the development of a truely sentient AI

[rotund niche]

i genuinely don't understand people that buy a switch 2 over something like a steam deck or the other similar handheld pcs on the market if you don't plan on playing that many nintendo games

[rotund niche]

they should really just incorporate the helldivers 2 app thing into the game

[heavy sinew]

wdym I DO want to buy whole ass switch 2 just to buy super mario kart for 80$ + subscription to be able to use their built in discord

[plucky lion]

what are u talking about?

[heavy sinew]

definetly helldiver companion app would be goated

[rotund niche]

i love watching games streamed at 14 fps

[rotund niche]

i can't remember the name off the top of my head, but there is a companion website that goes into WAY more detail regarding the galactic war

[plucky lion]

oh so a site with a bunch of lore

[rotund niche]

it shows what supply lines can get disturbed by enemies taking planets, the level of defense attributed to the planet and how fast it can be taken

[plucky lion]

oh those sound like nice details to know

[rotund niche]

not really, its just a real time version of the galactic map with way more info that should just be in the fucking game

[plucky lion]

oooh

[heavy sinew]

it shows supply lines of enemies, it predicts the time it would take to liberate a planet, etc etc.

[rotund niche]

yeah, that should just be IN GAME instead of some fan run thing

well i don't actually know if its fan run but still

[rotund niche]

its really useful information that 95% of players just wont ever know about

[plucky lion]

yeah there is a lot of stuff about how the galactic war works that i dont know...

[heavy sinew]

16k bug divers :

[rotund niche]

bug divers

more like

bore divers

hahgottem

[heavy sinew]

more like waste of rescources

[plain bough]

still having liberation tied to % of playerbase is still ass

bug divers always gonna take up a big boy portion

[rotund niche]

yeah, it pretty much just punishes the playerbase for getting bigger

[plain bough]

then enemies always get a static invasion rate as well

[rotund niche]

when i redownload hd2, i might try some of the halo mods for things like the amr and quasar cannon

[heavy sinew]

if you play bugs too much you should have all bug planets blocked unless theyre MO target I fucking hated how bug divers completly disregarded the fact that super earth was invaded

somehow bot divers with like 1/3rd of bug divers manpower managed to restore DSS back online saving Super earth's defense

[rotund niche]

on one hand it would kinda be ass for some guy that just likes fighting bugs to come home and not be able to

[plain bough]

they had to make a specific bug MO objective so the bug divers would participate lol during that too

[rotund niche]

but it is definitely frustrating on the bigger picture

[heavy sinew]

fuck his feelings ong

[heavy sinew]

they fumbled their latest bug mo

[rotund niche]

im not gonna get mad at the dad that has maybe 2 or 3 hours of playing a game a week if they want to hop on bugs

[plain bough]

rupture strain and dragon roaches being the bug equivalent of leviathans

[rotund niche]

but if thats literally all you are doing, then go feed yourself the hive lord

the fucking dragon roaches info they gave before into the unjust released was horse shit

[heavy sinew]

just become voteless at this point bruv 🙏

[rotund niche]

"you can destroy their wings and they can't fly"

uh no

[plain bough]

don't forget doing enough damage for them to fuck off, which they don't do

[heavy sinew]

I haven't seen the info they gave on dragonroaches, I saw BIG ASS DRAGON flying around so I started shooting wings thinking he would be brought down to earth if they got damaged enough

[rotund niche]

the dragon roaches are cool in concept but they are so lazily implemented

[heavy sinew]

I guess since fleshmobs released they forgot to give enemies weakpoints, very nice arrowhead very cool

[rotund niche]

make their torso's more armored or something and actually make taking out the wings priority so it crashes and dies

[plucky lion]

bug divers all be like 'GO , GO , GO' while bot divers tend to be a bit more careful and methodical imo. makes sense they could manage with fewer

[heavy sinew]

have you seen their AI flying pattern? this shit is so simple and you can lead him like a dog on a leash

[rotund niche]

its shit ass ai that rivals the skyrim dragons

also spawing WAY too many of them

[heavy sinew]

IG we both had diffrent skyrim version, dragons in my skyrim were ALWAYS skiddadling away when I got them low HP they didn't want no smoke

[heavy sinew]

I think it spawns one every 1-2mins capping at 4 dragons at same time

[rotund niche]

i was just referring to their stupid ass flying patterns

[plucky lion]

they just needed to implement the wings properly and it would have been great. shoot wings lots --> forces enemy on ground. with just that change they would feel so much more fair to fight

[rotund niche]

like taking out the wings turns them into some sort of beached bile titan that doesn't have as much movement

[heavy sinew]

yeah , also fun fact scorched beasts from FO76 use dragon model and AI

[rotund niche]

so did the vertibirds in fo4

[plucky lion]

yeah it would be like a limping bile titan with really nasty bile

[rotund niche]

the ai

oh yeah and the fire hurtbox more of being a postal code is quite annoying

[plucky lion]

it was a little too big, yeah

[rotund niche]

i would literally just be walking in normal ass sand, and then i would light on fire cause a roach sprayed some fire a mile down the road

if i don't see any fire on the ground, maybe don't apply damage

[plucky lion]

if anything the damage fields should be slightly smaller than the visual one

[heavy sinew]

Dude funniest shit was my friend was unlocking new difficulties and he reached like diff 5 I saw dragon roach modifier so I slapped fire resistant armor and EVERYTHING anti-dragon cause we were on open map we went WHOLE round without seeing a single dragon roach, I hopped off for today he went next game AND FIRST ENEMY HE ENCOUNTERS IS A FUCKING DRAGON ROACH

LIKE THOSE MFS WERE WAITING FOR ME TO HOP OFF TO JUMP MY FRIEND NEXT MATCH

[rotund niche]

surprise motherfucker

so what would you guys say your favorite armors are

[heavy sinew]

drip wise or armor passive wise

[rotund niche]

lets do both

drip wise for me it is for sure the odst armor, and i don't mind the part of the passive that prevents leg breaks

but for pure passive id say siege ready or the one where crouching gives less recoil

[plain bough]

classic armor, but gold

[heavy sinew]

Drip wise :
Light armor : Demolition specialist
Medium armor : Scorpion / Bloodhound / Enforcer
Heavy armor : Fortified commando (MAKE A WAY FOR THE DOZER)/ Twig snapper / Bearer of standard

Stat wise :
Light : Trailblazer scout (for stealth objective speedrunning)
Medium : AC-1 Dutiful (just good resistance all around) / BP-20 correct officer (same thing applies its just solid armor passive on all fronts) / Enforcer (fortified medium armor need to say more?)
Heavy : Kodiak (fortified good on bots) / Salamander (ESSENTIAL on incin corps)

my favorite fits by far

[rotund niche]

some good combos there

i might have to steal the middle and bottom middle

[heavy sinew]

spread the good fashion sense

[steady zinc]

Yoink.

[loud bison]

yeah, they been extra cunty lately
usually dropping into low difficulties with that sample booster to help out low levels
throw a tnt at seaf artillery to clear out clutter to make shells easier to find
throw a second one on the other side and this dumbass stops and stands there and gets pissy when he blows up

almost get kicked, but he tries tk-ing me all game

[heavy sinew]

one guy dropped in light armor vs diff 10 incin corps and after dying bunch of times he just gave up and went afk and host in his infite wisdom refused to kick him

[loud bison]

that shits annoying

[heavy sinew]

I love cold planet mega cities, it gives them this moody hollywood stereotypical eastern european blue-grayish filter

[rotund niche]

bot cities are fun

[heavy sinew]

sneaky war striders ruining any resemblence of fun :

[rotund niche]

usually you can run away

if not i try and save my thermites for them

[heavy sinew]

unless you dare as much as get grazed by either helldivilion grenades they spam non stop or get shot ANYWHERE NEAR YOU with his ragdollinator cannons

[rotund niche]

i don't like the war striders but id still say the bots are my favorite faction

[twin nebula]

Striders aren't too bad, as long as you're nor solo taking them out

[sharp gorge]

DEMOCRACY PROTECTS

[heavy sinew]

"YOU'RE GOING DOWN WITH MEEE" ahh bile titan

[cunning escarp]

SSD for OS, games i care about and things that need quick access. HDD for games i don't care for minmax performance, bulk storage, non critical stuff.

Their announcement stuff was undercooked as fuck

[tawny mirage]

its more of a behavior i had learned that id prefer to have a larger storage space than faster storage

because i had a really slow internet growing up

Fallout 4 which at the time was 60 gigs (iirc?) took me 2 days to download when it first came out

it was better to download once, and keep everything on large drives, than it was to have to download multiple times

now, i have internet that is leagues better and much more stable, that really shouldnt matter much anymore. Once i get the chance to upgrade, il probably split my storage 50/50 SSD/HDD. Because lets be honest. these games are still massive

[rotund niche]

i know i was being a dickling previously about hdds vs ssds, i actually don't have any problem with hdd, as long as it is paired with an ssd

more storage is never bad, but ssd is just objectivley better for activley playing games

[twin nebula]

I play my games on cdrom

A squid notices you're not looking at the cannon for a moment and decides to move it just enough so that you don't hit your target

[plucky lion]

u can do that in one mission ez

[heavy sinew]

yeah just be near SEAF artillery it increases patrol spawnrate by around 90000000%

[empty zealot]

Real

[bleak patrol]

Increases spawn rate and also marks your exact position for every enemy on the map

[red jetty]

I think it would be cool if they could add a napalm grenade, or something similar to that. When it explodes, it shoots out a big splash of napalm that sticks to whatever it hits. Burns for a long time

maybe impossible to put out early via diving

[rotund niche]

that would be cool

[plucky lion]

i'm sure the devs already have that idea sitting around, waiting to be implemented

it's kind of obvious since we already have gas and electric nades

[light nymph]

so what ever happened to the MO where we had to choose between and orbital and a mech?

[loud bison]

failed

like, zero progress made on either one because divers were spread out between the two planets for that, bug front, and the Major MO

[eager cliff]

Nobody cared

With the dev confirming there was no new strategem just a free use of one for 24h, ppl just didnt care

[rancid ibex]

Sooo what happened here

In this sector

[sharp gorge]

I ated it

[rancid ibex]

reading some things about their creator program stuff

love how this game is arrowheads for some reason

yeah im watching videos as well + the guy that got his pc nuked

oof

[plain bough]

reading some comment about how the ingame FPS limiter actually increases CPU usage as well lmao

[graceful compass]

yeah

arrowhead and bsg shaking hands with that one

only two games i know where setting very simple fps tools makes the game run worse

[twin nebula]

Da fuck did i miss

[plain bough]

all sorts of technical problems finally piled up

[twin nebula]

So the game runs like shit now?

[bleak patrol]

Funny enough, the game works better for me now than a few months ago

I fully expected it to kill my computer but it didn't happen

[eager cliff]

arrowhead tech debt catching up

[dire igloo]

Its random

This will sound a little insane

But my friends wifi adapter with 3 yrs warranty bricked when helldivers crashed

[bleak patrol]

You're already insane so nothing has changed

[sharp gorge]

Bought game late and landed right in the manure pile

[graceful compass]

its been up and down gradually for its life span

but the highs and lows get exponentially worse

[eager cliff]

[empty zealot]

In some missions, my game stutters like every 5 seconds, or my fps decreases drastically in some areas of the map.

[empty zealot]

The OhDough's case might not be fully caused by helldivers 2, but it doesn't deny the fact that the game is becoming worse.

[eager cliff]

i mean it defientely isnt , but helldivers does push your hardware over the limit randomly even on ship

[empty zealot]

In his and other vids i have also seen that a lot of people are not a fan of the anti-cheat either, especially when it's not doing the job it's supposed to.

[eager cliff]

unfortunate

[empty zealot]

Also there is a drama about youtubers and hd2 program or sth

[eager cliff]

like bf6 starins my CPU less than Helldivers on the ship lol , in BF my CPU is 66-68c on HD it goes up to 76-77c and thats with it undervolted

on the ship

[eager cliff]

yeah that as well

kinda bad PR from their part

[empty zealot]

My friend turned on some shit for another bf game that has the same anti-cheat as bf6, his cpu suddenly went to 100% which wasn't on his bingo card

[eager cliff]

yeah intrusive anti cheats are not good for the consumer

[empty zealot]

I surely hope that someone kicks the hd2 team in the balls so that we all can say "we are so back" in the near future.

[rotund niche]

when a game's performance is so ass its literally breaking parts of people's pcs then you have more than a problem

[loud bison]

Good lord

[dire igloo]

BUT WE CANT FUCKING FIX THE GAMEEEEEEEEEEEE

THE 3 PEOPLE USING HARD DRIVEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

WHATS GONNA HAPPEN TO THEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

THINK ABOUT THE PLAYERS MAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[tawny mirage]

I just want a fun game...

[plucky lion]

i find that If i restart my game often, like every mission, i dont have to suffer quite as many glitches that seem to pile up the longer the game's uptime

[light nymph]

THEY'RE GONA HAVE TO WAIT LITERAL MINUTES TO LOAD IN!

WE CAN'T HAVE THAT

[eager cliff]

[graceful compass]

tarkov players:

[rotund niche]

seems like a moldy band aid solution

[plucky lion]

u got a better one?

[empty zealot]

The better one is to uninstall the game and play it when it's fixed

[narrow trout]

i cant fight my favorite faction (bots) without the game stuttering and freezing like crazy

also its 150gb

[empty zealot]

Ah, right, it weights way more than it should be

[rotund niche]

not really, its just sad that is what it has come to

[plucky lion]

yeah i remember when my game didnt stutter and crash :/

[rancid ibex]

Yeah the game is weighing in too much for my junker

[bleak patrol]

This is my only issue with the game right now cause my insane glitch luck keeps me free of other problems

I've had no stutters, no crashes (on both my desktop and laptop), but the game takes a fuckton of space

[dire igloo]

BUT THE MECHANICAL HARD DRIVE PLAAYERERFS MAAAAAAN

LIKE THE THREEEEEE OF THEMM MANNNN

[heavy sinew]

because of their shitass anti-cheat its been pointed out multiple times yesterday while people were talking with CEO

[heavy sinew]

I liked bots, easily my favorite faction to fight... then they added war striders

[bleak patrol]

Please enlighten me, I've encountered and destroyed countless war striders, what's so bad about them

[light nymph]

found the RR diver

[bleak patrol]

I mean, yeah, I always brought RR specifically to bots

Can't really blame me, I dive solo

[light nymph]

sooo, RR diver and solo diver which means less spawns

[bleak patrol]

They still spawn so what's your point

In groups even

[light nymph]

because they don't spawn in stupid numbers

[bleak patrol]

But the numbers aren't divided between 4 players

[light nymph]

the more players the more enemies spawn

[bleak patrol]

Wow no shit

As if I didn't knew that already

[graceful compass]

average pyrson argument

[sharp gorge]

Pyrson where are your arts

[bleak patrol]

I asked, calmly, without being an asshole, what's the issue with war striders, instead I got attacked by a helper, usual gamma discord experience

[bleak patrol]

In the works, Dry senpai

[light nymph]

anyway, the issue is that they are fucking ragdolling, no weakpoint having, more common spawning than hulks, pieces of shit game design

[sharp gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/rat-hand-gif-20474307

[bleak patrol]

Ok I see the issue with ragdolls and spawns

I did actually notice that the game is very trigger happy about spawning war striders on higher difficulties

[sharp gorge]

They replace hulks, ye

[bleak patrol]

And since I run RR on bots, it didn't occur to me that their fatal spots have a lot of hp

[light nymph]

wanna kill them shooting in the hip joint with the AMR? Good luck hitting it 5 times

[bleak patrol]

Ew, AMR

[light nymph]

AMR my beloved

[bleak patrol]

I tried to like it, many times even

But I just cannot

Maybe if I could aim it in 3rd person

It's very inconvenient to switch aiming perspectives just to shoot a gun

I get doing so to be more accurate, but just for the gun to function is a bit too much for my smol brain

I had the same issue with the HMG but then they actually gave it the 3rd person crosshair and it's my most common pick for squids now

[light nymph]

Once you learn how long you gotta wait untill you hit the center of your screen, you can do quite well with it

[heavy sinew]

Okay since you're asked me because I was the one to speak up about it, my gripe with war striders is the fact that they're not designed like, you know every other clanker enemy he doesn't have an obvious at first weak spot like the heat vent on hulk or a tank, his weakspot also isn't technically a weakspot at all since you need a heavy pen support weapon and if you're using anything diffrent than RR or Quasar then its gonna take absurd ammount of shots to blow up those joints of his wich wouldn't be an issue... if you didn't had like 4 of them spamming grenades under your feet while you're being swarmed by every other bot enemy like 3 scorcher hulks charging at you.

So in conclusion I hate war striders because of their bullshit attacks, unreasonable ammount of armor compared to other heavy units, and the their ridiculous spawnrate wich as a result limits your build variety

[bleak patrol]

Yeah, that's a fair issue

[heavy sinew]

also since helldivers is literally deepfrying people's PC like they're netrunners in cyberpunk universe I took a break until they resolve this issue hopefully before liberty day meanwhile there's other COOP peaks like Darktide, DRG or even outlast trials if you're into horror

[bleak patrol]

I'm gonna take a gamble and keep playing HD2. If it does fry my laptop, I can send it on extended warranty for replacement and I win

[heavy sinew]

My warranty has ended last year

https://tenor.com/view/clash-royale-cry-tears-king-crown-gif-5302586

[rotund niche]

war striders should have a heat vent on their back like the other bots

[heavy sinew]

exactly, and his eye should be like hulks acting as slightly more armored weakspot

first time I've encountered war striders I kept shooting them in the eye with no avail until I said fuck it and robbed my team mate of his recoiless when he inevetably died from war strider's sheer grenade spam

[bleak patrol]

Literally my first reaction to seeing a war strider for the first time was "hmm lemme shoot leg"

[twin nebula]

I dont mind no vents, maybe just make it a bit more clear that their hip is the weakpoint, the main issue for me is that not only their 15 grenades ragdoll but the damn laser canon they have is ALSO just a ragdoll canon, if it was like tower turrets and it had lethal dmg + AOE dmg instead, i think it would be a lot more enjoyable

[bleak patrol]

Turns out, you shoot leg, leg joints (if you can hit them) or straight in the robo dick

[heavy sinew]

I figured his least armored part would be an eye since its BIG FAT and SHINY AS FUCK like the one's on factory strider and hulk

[bleak patrol]

I figured that since it's a BIG BIPED I will BREAK ITS LEGS

[heavy sinew]

when we're on topic of most obvious weakspot ™ WHY THE FUCK IS DRAGON ROACHES WINGS ARE NOT ONE

Like mf is flying on hopes and dreams once you shred them I swear to god

[heavy sinew]

Hey guys just wanted to warn my fellow divers everywhere* about the guy called "benomaz5" he's trying to bait people into clicking scam links

[twin nebula]

I want the armors that arent even in the game tho

[empty zealot]

I can't believe how fucking good and smooth the bugs session was for me

Bots were just pure suffering and constant lags

[plucky lion]

yeah the bots got some bug that causes stuttering. doesnt seem to happen on other races

[sharp gorge]

Races

[balmy spire]

Bots are scuffed rn
War striders just yeet your fps

[tawny mirage]

I’m highly skeptical of helldivers being able to fry computers

[plucky lion]

yeah i wouldnt worry about it

[pale hollow]

Well, I have had blue screens of death about 70% of the time when I try to quit the game from the menu, and a few times experienced a windows self repair during reboot. So I know that I for one am not going to touch the game for quite some time.
I fully believe that Helldivers both can fry and has fried some PCs.

[tawny mirage]

Even then when that occurs, I’d be more inclined to suspect the OS (or maybe something deeper ) rather than the game.

[pale hollow]

I'm not the only person who has strange bugs and crashes with this game. All other games work fine, even GAMMA, which is known within the Helper-sphere as having the unique ability to expose problematic Windows installs etc., works fine.

The game is a spaghetti code jumble of almost 10 years of incrementally increasing tech-debt, running on a depreciated engine. Coming from a developer studio known for producing extremely buggy and shoddily coded games.

Hell, I still remember when the Amazon produced MMO would fry modern GPUs to death. Games raping your PC to death is not a new phenomenon.

Thing with the Amazon game, it’s been happening day one, after almost 1.5 years post launch, why is helldivers suddenly doing this? That’s what throws me

The game code is so fucked that by changing something completely random, a billion unintended things also happen, as has been clear since some of the very earliest Helldivers 2 updates.
