[eager cliff]

It does, you can barely run in it

[empty zealot]

Still getting fucked by a tiny ass bug

[plain bough]

Classic default helldiver armor, all the benefits of heavy armor and the lightness of medium

[bleak patrol]

It feels pretty heavy to me, especially when I get hit by a rocket and barely take any damage

[sacred tapir]

i just wish the bugs didnt take like 25% of your hp sometimes

like ok pal, its heavy armor, i expect to be able to survive more than 2-3 hits

sometimes 4 or 5 if im lucky

but i guess thats not what heavy armor is for, its for bots

still tho

[plucky lion]

heavy + explosive resistance is awesome vs bots. i can get bounced around like a pinball from a bunch of rockets and get back up with half hp

[empty zealot]

Hence why I specified bugs, I don't really have issues with bots, lol.

[slim coral]

Fuck bugs

All of my homies hate bugs

[sharp gorge]

That came with being a Helldiver

[sacred tapir]

bugs just have poorly balanced damage in general, they either do nothing, or hit for half your health

bots are at least somewhat consistent, you can expect to die when shot by certain things, and you can be sure to survive other things

[plain bough]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O827A3v80Go

[bleak patrol]

And that lost half hp was probably due to impact damage from being ragdolled so much

[plucky lion]

heyy they are going back and fixing their big fuckup with the killzone content. way to go arrowhead

[rancid ibex]

[rotund niche]

the only thing i didn't get when it came out before was the rifle so it will be nice to get that

[slim coral]

Wait

If Killzone becomes an actual warbond now

What happened to the gear from Warbond collab we already have

[graceful compass]

literally everything perfectly outlined and still retards asking dumb questions about it on the reddits

gg

[loud bison]

its reddit, they congregate there

[red jetty]

There could be an announcement on reddit that God is real, and every person who's ever lived will be accepted into heaven, as a gift to all of humanity, and people will still spin it as a horrible event

[plucky lion]

well yeah that would suck i wanna be reincarnated as the king of egypt

[unborn ibex]

Fun fact: In HD1 this is how it worked and heavy armor effectively made you immune to enemies like scavengers.

[vast kestrel]

So many preferable things and systems we rather have but ArrowHead's idea is a ragdoll simulator

They kind of half ass a lot of stuff

[sacred tapir]

they make a problem and then sell solution

as usual

(rock solid passive)

[plucky lion]

eh ragdoll simulator is more fun than just suddenly dying

[graceful compass]

i love how the ragdolls have been desynced for like

over a year now

[unborn ibex]

They actually nerfed the ragdolls recently.

They nerfed ragdolls before putting in the anti ragdoll armor.

[unborn ibex]

God I remember getting unceremoniously clapped by a stray devastator rocket from 200 meters with no warning besides them spreading their legs slightly.

Rocket Devastators now are neutered for real.

[plucky lion]

yeah original rocket devs were killing machines

[plain bough]

This guy I played with must've been fighting ghosts and his inner demons cause damn he spent half the match on a lidar station tossing 380mm barrages

[eager cliff]

schizophrenia

[finite monolith]

i got a guy who loved to throw napalm barrages at us so 3 of us decided to shoot him

[unborn ibex]

The classic level 20 diver who doesn't know how eagles work and just unlocked the cluster bomb moment.

[sharp gorge]

He's simply against AM radio

[loud bison]

hmmm
cannot seem to get my mouse to look around
which is odd because i can just ESC key and move the cursor around normally

[sharp gorge]

Those commie bots took your mouselook

[high granite]

Anyone with a high end Pc. What's you avarage FPS in hell divers?

[twin nebula]

90fps on my tamagotchi

[red jetty]

I get about 150 if the bots aren't currently shelling me with artillery

[rancid ibex]

I get 20 fps

[light nymph]

I get FPS

[lethal citrus]

Can't wait for the new warbond releasing in like 5 hours

It's like <t:1766066400:f>

[sharp gorge]

Just sell your neighbor's hubcaps

[plain bough]

Was kinda expecting that the killzone weapon stats get a little tuning up, but still the same

also would've liked a heavy armor version

[rancid ibex]

I thought the new warbond was that goofy stealth one but nah it's the killzone bond releasing today I thought they just released it like this week's tuesday lol

[plain bough]

the redacted regiment warbond is not releasing anytime soon, at least not some better stealth is implemented I guess

[sacred tapir]

The neighbors catalytic converter is lookin * reaal* tasty rn

[light nymph]

You finding your neighbor in your car stealing your catalytic converter while you doing the same to his

[sacred tapir]

[slim coral]

I feel lile adding tesla 120mm is gonna be funny

[plucky lion]

the buff they gave the accelerator rifle a while back made it pretty damn good vs squids at least

but yeah no changes to anything else is surprising

[slim coral]

I would love to use the SMG more if it has customization

Sadly collab guns dont get it due to limited copyright

[sacred tapir]

The sta-52 had a reflex optic

In kz3

But they just kept it limited to kz2

If they were smart they would release an ISA warbond too

More money in it, and its pretty cool shit too

The M82 was so cool, and if it had the original sound from kz3 id never use anything else

It sounded so fucking good

Sound design was top notch

[slim coral]

Wife 🥺

[rotund niche]

i want that sweater and hat

[plain bough]

We got an accelerated liberation % but the single braincell bugdivers ain't getting off heeth to liberate another bug world

We can't even liberate heeth for a while lol

[unborn ibex]

Bugdivers think rupture strain is engaging gameplay.

I hate rupture strain so much.

[plucky lion]

it is a bit annoying how much you need splash damage

[rotund niche]

Make sure to pump your PP so it explodes on enemies

[empty zealot]

I don't think that bug divers enjoy rupture strain, though

[sacred tapir]

lets be honest, the illuminate are just the tau

[steady zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-disbelief-what-huh-gif-15892515

[sacred tapir]

am i wrong?

[slim coral]

I dont think anyone enjoys that

[sacred tapir]

"Ah just like I ordered, the CBT Faction 9000"

[slim coral]

With an extra CBT for the one that hosts

Idk if it fixed

If you were host for rupture strain you are expected to tank as much damage as possible cuz idk why for the host attack is always instant

For other players it has like a short period that you can dodge

[sacred tapir]

I remember

I played when it launched

Then when i bitched it sucked, i got only skill issue comments

Stupid die hard fan fucks

Hate the people who defend arrowhead like its their job

Its so tiring to see

[sharp gorge]

Fire Caste mechs would kinda fold Illuminate

[sacred tapir]

true, but tyranids would mop terminids

[sharp gorge]

That's a given

[sacred tapir]

and the men of iron would certainly fold the automatons

or the necrons

[sharp gorge]

Tomb World awakening as a Helldiver mission

[sacred tapir]

but thats not a surprise considering how batshit crazy 40k is as opposed to helldivers

helldivers is a universe that humanity isnt entirely miserable and is in a position of power over the galaxy (mostly)

40k... is not fuckin that

[sacred tapir]

yeah, arrowhead when tomb world?

when can i see a fellow helldiver get turned into dust by a deathmark?

this kind of thing

[unborn ibex]

The men of iron are so vague in their capabilities.

Though my favorite bit involving them is that pax imperialis comic.

[steady zinc]

When I think of the Men of Iron, I can't help but picture the Commanders from Planetary Annihilation.

[unborn ibex]

Yeah looking at it that seems about right.

[sacred tapir]

the fact they could threaten humanity at the peak of their technological prowess, proves theyre more deadly than some clankers that are able to be defeated by an 85mm tube

[rotund niche]

How have the mixed strategems been, I haven't hopped on for a while

[slim coral]

Mixed strategems?

[rotund niche]

Like the smoke/barrage, the fire orbital gattling barrage ect

The limited time ones going on

[slim coral]

No idea

I run smoke eagle a lot

I never know about the one being limited rn

[unborn ibex]

The issue is its all based on context. The men of iron and automatons are only as strong as what they can control and use. The automatons for all intents and pourposes ARE men of iron.

Like if the men of iron emerged on some backwater imperial world they would be massively limited.

All the absurd toys they used in the cybernetic revolt were mostly stuff humans made.

[rotund niche]

40k anything would wipe the floor against any other universe for the most part

Like it's not even close for most things besides some very little known books or something

[steady zinc]

40k factions are pretty much bottlenecked by their FTL.

[rotund niche]

Even then you get bonkers stuff with the warp like arriving 30 years too early or 1000 years later

Even with those restrictions the sheer numbers of 40k are sure to win out

The scale of 40k is absurd

[sacred tapir]

or anime

anime loves ultra op busted ass characters

one punch man is a perfect example, literally just so broken hes depressed and bored

[sacred tapir]

the formidable ork waaaagghhh

literally just like 3 billion green spore guys shooting things that are an affront to gunsmithing, and driving literal scrap heaps

enough about 40k

[rancid ibex]

Are we powerscaling 40k compared to anything again

The only thing that would compete with 40k is Starsector, but unfortunately that game is an indie game and hides under the radar, unlike 40k

-# at least starsector doesn't use human carcasses for the most mundane services

[sacred tapir]

laaame

whatever, go my servitor guided missile

[rancid ibex]

When I learned what Servitors are, this sentence just makes me think of what a guided missile with it looks like

[sacred tapir]

nah hes inside the missile

they were that nice

[bleak patrol]

Starsector is infinitely more fucked, even if it doesn't seem so on the surface

[sharp gorge]

Requires more reading

[bleak patrol]

And we can't read

[red jetty]

Starsector is cool

[rancid ibex]

If you look on a planet per planet basis, they actually seem decent to live in and life isn't all that bad in the colonies. Sure the sector as a whole got fucked after two AI wars, but after 2 decades it's recovering well

[bleak patrol]

But they are still completely cut off from the outside world and are basically surrounded by unknown horrors beyond our imagination

[rancid ibex]

I'd rather live in Gilead than in a hive world like Thortium

Or whatever planet in 40k

[bleak patrol]

The only thing keeping stuff somewhat together is the Hegemony

But they are not doing the best job

But based on the situation, I doubt anyone can do a better job

[rancid ibex]

Worry about that, not. As they are too scared to enter normal space unless John Starsector intervenes too far

The [REDACTED DETECTED] avoid normal space because they think there is still Domain in there and the [DEEP REDACTED] only will invade the core worlds if, somehow, they can live without being stuck in the abyss

[bleak patrol]

So the Domain, despite being shit, was good for something after all

[rancid ibex]

Yes indeed

[steady zinc]

Just had a flashback about the pidgeon missiles of WW2.

[unborn ibex]

Nah missiles often use cogitators, but a servobrain guided missile isn't unheard of.

[sacred tapir]

but those were good

[sacred tapir]

theres like one or two examples of servitor guided missiles, but theyre not common

[unborn ibex]

I think based on a cursory google search the skyspear is an example.

[runic sentinel]

500 fucking hours for 1 achievement... Thanks to the hive lord.

[sacred tapir]

is that the one for all broken bones?

its really easy to get imo, one hellbomb, one democracy protects, one achievement

[fleet gazelle]

[fleet gazelle]

I wouldn't be so happy if it were so easy for me to do it.

[sharp gorge]

Not even a hellbomb, just land a supply pod on the back of your neck, prone

[sacred tapir]

thats true

i just used a hellbomb on accident

[sharp gorge]

Took me a couple tries but it worked

[sacred tapir]

was not paying attention, like my first level 7 mission

and someone activated it and it worked first try

winning a coinflip and an achievement

[sharp gorge]

There's a few achievements I got by not even doing them

I flew at most 5 metres when I earned it

[celest elm]

What the hell is there to even talk about with helldivers besides "arrowhead made a stupid change" at this point

[sacred tapir]

not much

i mean i cant talk, its not all too different for fatshark and darktide

but at least darktide doesnt actively sabotage its player base to the point of mass quitting (usually)

It's just an upgraded orbital laser with probably +25% damage and a purple color and that's all

[light nymph]

[vagrant valley]

Yall ever encounter someone in a pub thats just so bad you gotta block them?

The squad I just dropped with makes me wish I had 3 GAMMA companions

[sharp gorge]

That's a pretty low bar

[vagrant valley]

I shit you not they were so bad I actually ragequit

[loud bison]

many times

[eager cliff]

Yeah , during the cave diving there were a lot of idiots

[blazing abyss]

i love having teammates that kill you with every stratagem they throw and then blame you for "walking into them" when every fucking teammate has napalm and 380mm barrages and the weakest throws to ever exist

[dire igloo]

If found in this situation, you should dive, for the 90% explosive damage reduction, after that you should pray, to not get direct hit by the boom boom, repeat process until out of radius

If napalm strike, open mic, racial slur at teammate, tell them they are unloved

[earnest stag]

Just because your mom told you that you are special doesnt mean you have to show everyone that you are special

Warbond releasing on a tuesday next week, guess we getting a big update

[vagrant valley]

This new warbond looks mid af

The C4 is gonna be the only good thing to come from it

[light nymph]

Stealth wb?

[vagrant valley]

Stealth warbond in a game with portable backpack nukes

Smoke in this game is just straight up griefing

Why not bring something that just kills the enemy? Or a physical barrier like the shield relay?

If you gotta get out of a fight just use your chevrolegs and some cover

I bet the lure mine will have a capacity of 2

Probably worse than a single eruptor shot

[light nymph]

I just want a viable set up where I can snipe priority targets with the AMR without getting mobbed by everyone the second I shoot

[vagrant valley]

Scout passive

Check your pins once in a while and you’re good

[light nymph]

Been my go to until the halo wb dropped

Been using that armor after

[vagrant valley]

Yeah but with scout you can give UAVs to your team

Unflinching works well too

[light nymph]

I basically ran suppressed smg primary, senator pistol, AMR, smoke nades and jumppack, 2 stratagems are based on enemies

[eager cliff]

Epstein Files Reference

[light nymph]

Usually 500kg for objectives+chaff clear

FUCK YEA! SMOKE PODS FINALLY

Been waiting for those

[plain bough]

I'd totally rock the C4 backpack if it takes out heavies consistently

[light nymph]

The Null Cipher helmet looks dope

[plain bough]

now to wait for super store armor set

[vagrant valley]

Smoke is always useless against NPCs

It’s a straight up griefing tool

[light nymph]

It looks/feels cool

[vagrant valley]

Every. Fucking. Time.

[light nymph]

Also it stops enemies from chasing you if you take a turn when leaving it, they stop at your last known location

[vagrant valley]

Sentries

They distract AND kill

[light nymph]

Atleast it worked for me like that when I use it in chokes

[vagrant valley]

Gas is far better in choke points

[light nymph]

I play for fun

And I stick to 8-9diff

[vagrant valley]

My fun is getting as many kills as possible

[vagrant valley]

I’m like a marine always killing them dead

[narrow trout]

Is this going to be useless due to suppressors not working

[sharp gorge]

Looks something like Pyrocynical would use

[light nymph]

p!who

rude ass mf

[bleak patrol]

When was the last time you played the game?

[narrow trout]

september

and i look at the patch notes often

nothing for suppressors

[bleak patrol]

[narrow trout]

mfd you havent played the game recently either

[bleak patrol]

Yes, which is why I'm neither complaining about it nor praising it

[narrow trout]

and yet you insult me

[bleak patrol]

Yes

[bleak patrol]

Unlike you, I last played it in december

December was last month

Watch my steam activity right now, Burb

[slim coral]

huh

so they finally adding C4?

interesting

wonder how it works

suppressed DMR, suppressed AR, suppressed machine pistol I think?

[plain bough]

dart pistol, same as the healing stim but with gas

[sacred tapir]

medium pen, 5 damage

take it or leave it

[bleak patrol]

Sure, I'll take it

I mean, it's C4, it could just make a fart with reverb sound and I'd still take it because thing go boom

[sacred tapir]

dont give them ideas

[slim coral]

muh realism

[rotund niche]

The new warbond looks so fucking lame besides c4

Unless they wholesale rework stealth there is literally no point besides looks and sound being appealing to you

[slim coral]

I hate how the C4 is a strategem

and not a throwable

if it deal any less damage than a Recoiless rifle then it'd be just so useless

[sacred tapir]

boltskull stamp of quality

[sacred tapir]

better destroy side objectives if you ask me

[slim coral]

I still dont understand how they balance this shit

[sacred tapir]

they dont

idk where you got that idea from

[slim coral]

like the way they perceive "Realism" is

weird

[sacred tapir]

its selective "realism"

if it makes it more fun? unrealistic

if it makes it more cbt? realistic

thats how it works

and if they let us have some fun things, they must make something else abyssmal dogshit

they took that whole "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction" thing to heart

[slim coral]

they are on such a right track

how they keep

taking a step back

like you'd think "oh we are on right track, lets keep it going"

but this is like

"Damn people hate the shit we do, let's add more shit like that"

[plucky lion]

that's the only way to do realism if u want to have a game and not a cbt simulator

[sacred tapir]

but the thing is they do the opposite

they take unrealistic things out if theyre fun, but if those same things make shit more of a slog, they keep it

or they work around some garbage

im not getting into it, the basics are that boltskull hates fun shit, take maxigun, its literally mediocre because of that no movement thing and for a second after

also the ammo cap

literally nothing

[plucky lion]

ah i was using the maxigun today vs squids actually

felt pretty good. shreds em good. struggles a little against harvesters as expected tho

[sacred tapir]

shreds yes, but the ammo cap is just ugh

cant stand it

[plucky lion]

just drop a supply drop and u got enough to handle anything

[sacred tapir]

mfw team mates

they eat 3/4ths,

or half

if youre lucky

solo play? maybe

[plucky lion]

the the about the maxigun that feels weird to me is how much more recoil there is in 3rd person vs 1st person. it's jarring how huge a difference there is

[sacred tapir]

also the heat effect is blinding, and the smoke too

had to get a mod to remove it

thats how much it blinded me

[rancid ibex]

Realistic my ass, suppressors don't fucking work in this game

There's that one youtuber who says the devs have military experience

Yeah fuck that, so many shit in HD2 isn't exactly how it works for the military bruh

I bet this warbond will work most of the time if you're the host because for some reason, being the host makes the game work like half the time

[narrow trout]

somehow this WILL fuck up fire again

[sacred tapir]

Or it breaks the game/fucks you over, pick your poison

helldivers 2 patchnotes: we didnt fix any bugs lol

[slim coral]

Helldiver 2 patchnote is usually just

Fix something that wasnt bothering people
Gaslight ppl into thinking their realism is wrong and dev realism is right
Gun nerfs

[sacred tapir]

oh and enemy buffs

which are undocumented

btw

[slim coral]

Me when Rupture is buffed for 10th time

[sacred tapir]

no it was when they buffed hive guards, warriors and like one other bug

for like no reason

other than to make coyote a little worse, and to make the diligence no longer 1 shot to the head of a warrior

which is retarded btw

"Oh but its a bot weapon" fuck you

i want to use the base diligence, but they just make it more and more unuseable

the DCS still reigns supreme

[slim coral]

Dev saw ppl having do much fun w the coyote so

[sacred tapir]

yes, fun is anathema to boltskull

[slim coral]

They would say its overuse and needed "incentive" to use other gun

[sacred tapir]

i mean, maybe, but thats been happening with the crossbow

for like

a year

[slim coral]

It seems like next update is gonna be mid

[sacred tapir]

unless they make it peak

but i mean... when does that happen

the epoch is still mid

still needs a buff to be better than literally anything else

or even on the same level

[slim coral]

That entire pak is only good for the warp pack

[sacred tapir]

it has very limited range, very limited breathing room for safe (and effective) charge, and it just sucks dick overall

[slim coral]

And nothing else

[sacred tapir]

nah the variable is fun, and it has uses

but other than that? yeah

shitter

[slim coral]

Its fun but its such a hag to use against armored things

[sacred tapir]

yeah its not for armor, its a primary, support weapons are for armored targets (except eruptor i suppose)

or torcher

[slim coral]

Also

I swear Strategem should be free

But ig they need to make money somehow

[slim coral]

The Variable would be so much fun if Burst mode deals Medium Pen and Volley would deal Heavy at full mag

Or maybe like high Med pen

[sacred tapir]

man i dont really care anymore, i barely touch this game tbh

its only downloaded because its like 30gbs

[slim coral]

Lately it goes downhill I just cant care

I swear if they dont let us stack 6 C4 and limit to like

3 C4

[sacred tapir]

they will knowing ah

i might just not even bother anymore, tbh the game is kinda boring in its current state

its just not as fun as it was

mostly because ive played almost all the content, and because the gameplay is the same shit every time

[slim coral]

I know that their suppressed weapons wont work cuz of their shitty game design philosophy

[sacred tapir]

and that too

[slim coral]

So its just a worse Liberator Penetragor

Penetrator

[sacred tapir]

you cant even attempt stealth, unless youre like me and youre a fucking sniper with the knives

can kill anything but hulks

[slim coral]

The reason is "MUH REALISM"

[sacred tapir]

but thats limiting

not really

its just because theyre braindead retarded and never coded suppressors properly

this is why i have almost as many hours in darktide as i do in hd2, and ive had hd2 for a year longer

thats saying something

im 50 hours behind hd2 on darktide

[slim coral]

The C4 better be heavy armor

[sacred tapir]

AT1*

its serious putty, its meant for anti-armor/building

at1 just makes sense, it should fill the role of thermites

or better

[dire igloo]

And then

The c4 was made to be 1 level below being able to destroy any building in the game including spawners

[sacred tapir]

which would be retarded

its literally Grenade: The Strategem

it better be able to delete detector towers

even if it takes 3

idc

just should be able to

isnt this meant to be a more infiltration based warbond?

i mean if so, they really need to make sure the suppressors work on the odst ones this time around

or they need to give us an air gun or something

i want reliable stealth options, rather than this stupid knife shit

[dire igloo]

Almost like

The cross map fucking missile

That cant destroy spotter towers because its 1 destruction level too low

We cant have any fun in the game

[sacred tapir]

yeah i swear that shit was just to mock us

[plucky lion]

it's still really good tho. solo silo + some other disposable like commando is lots of fun

[slim coral]

I need to do disposable trio

Like AT, Commando, Incendiary

this is mine

[summer oar]

Wtf XD

[sacred tapir]

yeah

i just do this with games

for instance

[summer oar]

Id go insane from trying to see what Im playing -w-
yet again, I sort my games by genre, so Im just a neat freak like that

[sacred tapir]

i sort mine by installed

[rotund niche]

I gave up categorizing my games after like 2 years of having steam

[summer oar]

Wait till you see my music playlist :3c

[sharp gorge]

I could not be arsed to organise my 700+ games

[summer oar]

If you do it as you get new games, then you are not sorting 700 games, you are sorting 1 every month or so.
That's the idea behind it, I've been doing this for 7 years

[loud bison]

damn, that bug has quite the tail

[rancid ibex]

Who categorizes theiqr games

[fleet gazelle]

The one who cataloged his "homework" folder?

did they ever give another release date for the warbond

[plain bough]

Nope

Penta got blown up and turned into a regular ol black hole

Redacted Regiment going up on Thursday

[rotund niche]

I can't wait for stealth to still not be worth a damn

[twin nebula]

I cant wait to stealth harder than ever before

And c4

[sacred tapir]

i cant wait for the suppressors and stealth to still not work

ok but stealth actually worked last i played

issue was the lack of a way to get rid of enemies silently

it was a chore to even kill a berserker or devastator

[slim coral]

Isnt this warbond delayed

I dont think they have any release date rn

[slim coral]

They find out C4 can kill Factory Strider too easily

So they have to delay to nerf it

[twin nebula]

As long as it sticks properly, unlike the thermite that bouces every now and then, im cool with it

[slim coral]

Nah

It will bounce

[rotund niche]

C4 being a backpack instead of a throwable is beyond baffling

[sacred tapir]

if its AT1 and it can 2 shot a strider, im happy

(it wont be)

like i joked about, its gonna be like medium pen, and do like 200 damage and 20 durable "realism"

[slim coral]

You know

Since tank ERA are just C4 that explode projectiles and not damage tanks

I am afraid they look at it and be like SEE IT DOESNT DEAL TANK DAMAGE

[sacred tapir]

i dont really care, i lost faith in AH ages back

arrowskull is shit

[slim coral]

You dont question warbond quality

You give them your money and thats it

[sacred tapir]

i dont even do that

i do something worse

i give them my time

grinding for creds

tbh im done

just overall

until they pull their heads out of their collective, well adorned assholes, im just kinda done with their game

the update:

if this shit has 9 gig updates and its 22 gigs atm without updating, and me updating makes it 31 then its gonna be at like 60 gigs by the end of the year

just from updates

[sharp gorge]

How's about you update first before shitting the bed

[plain bough]

Did my first commando mission, stealth works

[sharp gorge]

Still 22GB btw

devs: 'do literally anything' bogdan : waaah wahh wahhhh!

[graceful compass]

very curious about the super store smokescreen

[grizzled dagger]

am i tripping hasnt there always been a smoke grenade

why is the store selling a smokegrenade or well a "smokescreen" has anyone used it]

[plain bough]

C4 Pack takes both backpack and support weapon slots

[grizzled dagger]

if anyone uses the smokescreen lemme know if its good

[rancid ibex]

Right, who needs that when you got Thermite Grenades, a supply pack, and a Quasar Cannon

[grizzled dagger]

honestly this is true

[grizzled dagger]

wait how does it take grenade slot

since its a supply pack

how the hell does that work

[plain bough]

detonator for the support weapon

[grizzled dagger]

ooo

i love the censor

for a light pen its pretty strong

oh btw the reduced signature is super good even against the illuminate i was being big dumb and ran near one of the electric polls and it didnt detect me as fast

[plain bough]

Lol the AR suppressor has the muzzle flash above the barrel

[grizzled dagger]

hopefully it gets fixed cause thats dumb

but again it is an ancient engine so who knows

[plain bough]

oh it even has the AR Liberator inspect animation too

[bleak patrol]

Bro it's Bogdan, he will complaing about anything without checking it first

[plain bough]

Lure Mines are a bit of a bust on automatons, if they're attracted to it they tend to shoot at it

[celest elm]

The new armor lmfao

[slim coral]

is the new suppressor change good

[narrow trout]

C4 is weaker than dynamite

How

[shy schooner]

IT IS????

[narrow trout]

30 demo force

Dynamite is 40

Also takes 3 slots

Stratagem
Backpack
Support

[rancid ibex]

[loud bison]

wtf

[fleet gazelle]

🛂 🛃 🚮

[red jetty]

Don't you get like 8 C4 though

And it detonates on command instead of a timer

Does it do more or less damage?

[plain bough]

7 C4, which includes the one in your hand

[red jetty]

Is the blast radius better or worse?

[plain bough]

I'd say around a dynamites explosion range

pretty good if you pop it in the middle of a patrol

[red jetty]

How many dynamite do you get? 3? 4?

[plain bough]

3 default, 5 if you use grenade armor

but you do get more dynamite running a supply pack and you still have your support weapon free

[eager cliff]

so whats this commando misisons

[plain bough]

missions with no reinforcements that you have to acquire from drop pods already in the area and only 2 one minute super destroyer support, 1 minute at insertion and another 1 minute for each helldiver once per mission

[narrow trout]

Why you throwing away what's true

[fleet gazelle]

It would have been better not to spoil the impression in advance, but to spoil it yourself.

[graceful compass]

what is blud yammering about

[rancid ibex]

[narrow trout]

what

[sacred tapir]

this is meaningless nonsense

what does that even mean

the C4 sucks

less demo force than dynamite is absurd

i mean, its ok against armored targets

but 30 demo force is stupid

imo it should disable secondary objectives

downloading right meow

[graceful compass]

the null cipher armor gives you a fat ass

[plain bough]

absolute bakery

[sacred tapir]

this is what youre worried about

kidding ofc

[graceful compass]

its medium armor which is kinda worse for stealth

the clap of my ass cheeks keeps alerting the devastators

[sacred tapir]

not really

you can deadass just run past enemies and they dont hear you

i watched a guy run behind a dev and it didnt even turn

sprint too

[graceful compass]

worse by virtue of being faster and having more stamina

with light

[sacred tapir]

oh, well that doesnt matter in stealth

you spend most time in stealth prone or crouched

not running

worse for travelling

[graceful compass]

with the armor you deadass can sprint tho

thats the thing

[sacred tapir]

they can still see yknow

thats why you prone

not sound

sight

[graceful compass]

ive been using the armor a lot the extra speed is nice since you arent getting shot at anyway

[bleak patrol]

Deals twice the damage of dynamite with greater armor penetration, and you also can just take both at once so it shouldn't be compared anyways

It's more of an alternative to RR

It deals less damage, but allows you to target multiple enemies much faster

They both also have the same demolition force

Recoilless obviously has better range

I personally think it's not that bad

Quite decent, even

Gimmicky, but not useless

[narrow trout]

i guess i just need a hands on experience

or more videos of itr

[plain bough]

Ironically these commando missions I manage to finish faster with randos than normal missions

7 minutes cleared an entire map and left

[sacred tapir]

i need credits, but i dont want to run around maps for hours either

shits boring

[spark gazelle]

agreed

hate how every new stratagem ever is locked behind 1000 sc paywall but that's not going to change

[empty zealot]

Yet it can't close the fucking titan's hole, but dynamite can

[bleak patrol]

Doesn't matter

[empty zealot]

That doesn't make any sense

[bleak patrol]

Different use case

[empty zealot]

Oh well

[bleak patrol]

RR also can't close a titan hole

Same demo as C4

[empty zealot]

Classic arrowhead, at this point.

[bleak patrol]

Which is equally as weird but oh well

Let's just point a finger at C4 and ignore other stuff I guess

Also remember that dynamite also had demo 30 at release

[empty zealot]

From what I've seen, it can 2 shot dog at the belly or sth

[bleak patrol]

It's only at 40 for like, 3 months

[spark gazelle]

probable they change C4 i think but that doesn't matter since I don't have 10 dollars or 10 hours

[bleak patrol]

Also, as I said, you can just take both, there's no reason to compare them

[spark gazelle]

[empty zealot]

It feels like the guys who changed that and the guys who are making warbonds never talk to each other

[bleak patrol]

It's a possibility

But as it is I still think that C4 is decent

Simply a different use case

Yes it's kinda weird that it has lower demo than dynamite but it's not even that unusual

[spark gazelle]

how's coyote nowadays

[bleak patrol]

Don't know and don't care

[empty zealot]

Still doing fine, Ig

Haven't played in a while

[bleak patrol]

Used it only once, doesn't really fit my playstyle

[empty zealot]

Last time I played, I was leveling up my PP

Surprise new warbond

[red jetty]

everything looks pretty cool

[dire igloo]

Finally a good melee weapon

Also a throwable that isn't a grenade but does something different

finally man

time to see if head gets split from body by squid retard laser while standing in the bubble

[loud bison]

so soon?

[plain bough]

end of warbond video shows something vague, probably a new large update

[graceful compass]

Laser shotgun

Creepy end of cutscene

Cyborgs/cyberstan stuff?

[lime axle]

yup

has to be them

if the leaks are correct lol

[sacred tapir]

holy shit, we got belt grenade launcher?

maybe ah does know what theyre doing

maybe i do want to come back

[potent leaf]

Big fan of that emote

[rancid ibex]

Hmmm

[rotund niche]

i really like the bubble shield grenade

but all of it actually looks pretty good

[bleak patrol]

I mean, the current warbond was ready for a while, so I guess they were working on another one as well

[dire igloo]

its cool but I like the new primary more

love me the regular one, love me the modified ones too

[narrow trout]

surely we will get a free strategem again one day!

[bleak patrol]

Laser "shotgun"
Belt fed grenade launcher
Beeg rocket launcher

[sacred tapir]

i was hoping it was a captain america type shield tbh

super goofy

and unrealistic expectation

but damn would that be fun

[slim coral]

Siege Breaker

Belt Fed Grenade Launcher

[rotund niche]

finally gonna be able to run a propper bubble shield with the odst gear

[narrow trout]

you always could

[slim coral]

ngl

I thought the laser scatter gun is pretty epic

but knowing how it is prob light pen

so nothing to ride home

[bleak patrol]

Don't care about the penetration, it's a laser gun, I don't like those

[potent leaf]

write home about*

[narrow trout]

no hes right

nothing to ride home

[potent leaf]

I'm most excited for the laser shotty, laser guns are my favourite

true

[narrow trout]

i really dont like new warbonds tbh

[potent leaf]

I like them a lot

[narrow trout]

the skins really are just taking away slots for better items

[potent leaf]

hamer :)

[narrow trout]

sam

[potent leaf]

sheeeld

[narrow trout]

we used to get 3 armor and 3 guns every warbond

[potent leaf]

rockit

[narrow trout]

we lost content in them

and they still cost the same

[bleak patrol]

grenid

[narrow trout]

slopeater

you just like it because it goes boom

[bleak patrol]

Yes

[narrow trout]

good

[potent leaf]

I like anything superearth provides

[narrow trout]

do you use half the skikns tho

[bleak patrol]

Yes

[potent leaf]

i use the piss ones from the green warbond

[narrow trout]

I JUST WANYT

SOME STRATAGEMS OUTSIDE WARBONDS

FUCK

[bleak patrol]

Bro you just want and want and want

[narrow trout]

ok

i need you to suck mah dick

[bleak patrol]

You want so much you forget about the most important thing

Killing enemies of Super Earth

[narrow trout]

ok so give me more weapons per warbond

[bleak patrol]

Here we go again

[narrow trout]

you know im right

[bleak patrol]

No

[narrow trout]

explain

[bleak patrol]

We have a lot of weapons already

Most of them are obsolete

[narrow trout]

ok heres a better want then

[potent leaf]

waiter, waiter

[narrow trout]

give us another free warbond

[dire igloo]

Big rocket launcher ❌
Ultimatum on crack and steroids ✅

[bleak patrol]

Introduce more slop to the economy

[potent leaf]

another light pen assault rifle

[narrow trout]

i will kill you

[potent leaf]

we already have a stratagem for pretty much anything

adding more just feels redundant unless it's unique enough

[plain bough]

I want my heavy flamer

I want to burn all the bugs

[narrow trout]

you know what

you have a point

[dire igloo]

now this would be good

honestly

get to level 50 get veterans warbond

[narrow trout]

arc raiders is doing it like that

[dire igloo]

[narrow trout]

some free

some paid

[plain bough]

Was it next month or after that we get another deck

[bleak patrol]

Stealth warbond was good enough as it gave us enough options for being sneaky motherfucker

[narrow trout]

yeah but they could have just let us add suppressors to gun instead

theres not a single suppressed gun for free

[bleak patrol]

Suppress your laser rifle by sticking it up the ass of a bug and using it as a suppressor

[narrow trout]

postal

alright heres my final want

unique additions?
make them free first then add them to warbonds

[bleak patrol]

No more wants, go kill squid

[narrow trout]

i fucking hate squid

boring ass faction

[bleak patrol]

Then kill them

[narrow trout]

when new units

[bleak patrol]

Kill them all, then we have no more squid

[empty zealot]

That expandable seems like eat+ or sth.

[plain bough]

ultimatum but scaled up to be EAT

[empty zealot]

Ye

I bet you would also call only one at a time.

[narrow trout]

i hope the cooldown is longer otherwise its just a better eat

[plain bough]

hey man if its a portable nuke launcher I'll take it

[potent leaf]

eat probably better at traveling faster for precision high at damage
New one looks like a bigger aoe so might be better for groups rather than anti-armour focus

or demolitions

[narrow trout]

we will see

[empty zealot]

Curious how good that grenade launcher will be.
And at least you can move with it.

But damn, we just got a new warbond recently.

Although I haven't played the game in a while

[plain bough]

we getting cyborgs probably

while the Illuminate waiting for their turn to get new units

[empty zealot]

Someone in the comments said that those are cyborgs from the first game or sth.

[narrow trout]

its been like

what a year?

[plain bough]

since the Super Earth invasion yeh

[narrow trout]

and the last enemy added for them was the fleshmob

alongside the stingray and the mortar frog wannabe from EDF

[plain bough]

also leviathans

[narrow trout]

oh yeah

forgot

[plain bough]

oh lordy give us more illuminate

[narrow trout]

they WILL clip into the floor again

[potent leaf]

I'm happy for new bots

after them they'll focus on illuminate

I'm also a big fan of the supressed smg rifle thingy in the redacted bond

it's soooo girliepop

how i feel planting a hellbomb and sprinting out the bot camp at full speed

[narrow trout]

real

enter my super destroyer

[potent leaf]

enter my soup

[narrow trout]

if i enter the soup then it becomes stew

hmmmm..

@potent leaf sell me

[graceful compass]

and worse than what we already have too

sounds and feels cool tho

[potent leaf]

one shot factory striders

nuke mortar emplacements crossmap

destroy multiple buildings in one shot

[narrow trout]

yeah but its 110 medallllls

[potent leaf]

remove all guards surrounding a jammer to make it a cakewalk

[narrow trout]

i could save that for
.....
idk actually

[potent leaf]

very low CD + it takes up a support slot so you can just keep it on you til you need to use it

[narrow trout]

i did like the boom when you let me use it....

ok thants for selling me

i want to see what happens if we both launch one at a single enemy

[potent leaf]

less demo power than the 500kg bomb but like... double the damage

[narrow trout]

hmm

[potent leaf]

Aka

REALLY fucks up healthy enemies

like striders or bile titans

no longer will your 500kg bomb not one shot a bile titan

cause you're aiming it and its doing nearly double

[grizzled dagger]

how is it were getting a new warbond already

[potent leaf]

stealth bond was done a while ago they just dropped it later on

[narrow trout]

i love it when my 500k lands on a titan and doesnt fucking kill it

why is the boom so weird

[potent leaf]

the solo silo is only beaten out in damage by the hellbomb

[narrow trout]

i think a lot of things are

[potent leaf]

also if you hold aim it homes in on what you're aiming at

[narrow trout]

i figured

[potent leaf]

so keep the laser pointed on that dragonroach

[grizzled dagger]

i wish the recolors didnt cost so much damn medals

[narrow trout]

sam do yuo want to join me or nay

[grizzled dagger]

got a bunch of incomplete warbonds cause i dont want to grind those

Mods sam is gooning again

[sacred tapir]

does it have a lesser arc?

i mean id fucking hope so

be nice if it could destroy structures like the ult used to

because its a strat

it would be like an OPS but you aim it

instead of the dimwit on the destroyer and the mercy of a strat ball

(which always bounces or lands anywhere but where you wanted)

get me a jetpack and I'll show the dragonroach a real jumpscare

[narrow trout]

i remember you telling me fire was fine a day or 2 ago

[potent leaf]

fire in concept is fine

flamethrowers aint

[narrow trout]

i mean

i'd prefer if all fire worked the same

it should scare away bugs n such

[potent leaf]

look at this and tell me there's a god

[narrow trout]

now you understand why i do not like fire

they even made the beeam look worse after the fire warbond mgrmgmg

[potent leaf]

Why don't it spread

wah

I think the fire turret would be better if it just did 360's really fast

[narrow trout]

it can destroy itself

[rancid ibex]

The only time I've seen a flamethrower turret work: is when a lure mine is nearby

[narrow trout]

oh yeah lure mines

if you are stealthing and it goes boom

they know where you are

[rancid ibex]

Otherwise it would've been destroyed

Still sucks that fire in HD2 looks so ass compared to DRG which looks so fucking neat

Why shit so gassy twin

[narrow trout]

Not to mention the issues it has if you're host

[rancid ibex]

Which they STILL HAVEN'T FUCKING FIXED YET

AAAAAAAHHJ

[loud bison]

right, tried the c4
don't care much for it

I probably would if I wasn't detected sticking it to things

[sacred tapir]

is this on the topic of the hammer?

did alexus actually make/say something that isnt entirely detestable?

that's not meant to happen, it's a bug if you're the host of the game

like... a lot of things

[graceful compass]

the laundry list of host related issues are such a big stinky

[sacred tapir]

theres also not host related bugs

like for people who join in

but theres less
