#

Remember how we talked about the projectile dealing 0 damage?

#

Well it used to deal 20

#

But then they buffed the GL to penetrate Heavy

sacred tapir
#

narrowhead removing anything that might be neat

bleak patrol
#

And took the impact damage away

#

I dunno man, it feels a bit pointless

sacred tapir
#

"20 extra damage???? we cant have that!" - Alexus

bleak patrol
#

Like, it's 20 damage

#

Are you going to cry about 20 damage

sacred tapir
#

but its pointless to take it away too

#

its just dumb

bleak patrol
#

When you got heavy pen instead

sacred tapir
#

that argument goes both ways

#

its pointless to leave, and pointless to remove

bleak patrol
#

I'd rather have heavy pen than 20 damage

sacred tapir
#

id rather have both clueless

bleak patrol
#

But technically the end damage is still higher

#

Because now when you hit a medium armor target they take 400 damage

#

And before with medium pen and extra 20 impact damage they'd take 273

#

Also that 20 damage was just 5 durable

sacred tapir
#

i know

#

that 20 doesnt do much

#

but its still dumb

#

does the projectile at least have stagger?

bleak patrol
#

I mean I guess being hit by a grenade would hurt

bleak patrol
#

Lemme check

sacred tapir
#

yeah it would hurt a lot, im pretty sure 40mm can at least break bones (applying realism to an unrealistic game moment)

bleak patrol
#

Projectile has more stagger than explosion

#

30 vs 25

sacred tapir
#

yeah i thought so

#

because it should still knock them around

bleak patrol
#

The explosion has more push

#

10 vs 30

sacred tapir
#

so you can still use it to thump an enemy in the face even in the min arming

#

which staggers them, allowing you a moment to breathe

#

or switch weapons ig

#

not exactly anything useful

#

but still something idk

bleak patrol
#

You know if I was doing damage I would make the projectile do like, 5

sacred tapir
#

tbf our enemies are metal/big bugs

#

or alien

#

so they would take a 40mm differently than a person

#

so it probably wouldnt hurt them much

bleak patrol
#

Issue with bonking enemies with the grenade itself is that it will them bounce off and probably blow you up glorptard

#

Which

#

Believe it or not

#

Gl-28 doesn't do

#

Because it deals less damage

#

So you can't kill yourself so easily!

#

The player is 50% explosive resistant by default

#

And explosions can't harm limbs (for both enemies and players)

#

Which is a bit silly but I understand it

#

With how explosions work, you could just cripple everything with just a few grenades

#

But anyways

#

Since the player is 50% explosive resistant

#

You can survive an unlucky bounce from GL-28 as it will only deal 75 damage to you

#

But GL-21 will deal 200

#

You need to wear Fortified armor to survive a GL-21

#

As with Fortified you are not 75% resistant

#

So you take 100 damage

#

The player has 125 health

#

I think I found a new hobby

#

Helldivers 2 Damage

sacred tapir
#

i couldnt be bothered tbh, after i saw durable damage, i only calculate things when i think theyre dumb

#

i mean its not too complex

#

but its boring to do, i dont like doing it

bleak patrol
#

I like doing math when I'm not forced to do math

rancid ibex
#

I'm ngl the damage system is fuckin complex for a horde shooter game. They should just simplify this shit because this game isn't fucking tarkov

#

Damage, durable damage, projectile damage, etc etc

#

How many more damages must there be holy hell just make this gun do 70 damage, and make an enemy have 300 HP. Simple as

#

Armor penetration should also be simple as well.

Light pen weapons can't go through armor plating but can degrade armor and eventually do damage

Medium pen can go through armor but its damage is cut by 50% when it hits flesh but can destroy armor faster

Heavy pen can go through it with ease and destroy armor with a sneeze and do full damage

loud bison
#

thats the main problem i have with the beltfed, resupplying it. Its an ammo hog and usually have 3 others that also need a resupply per call down.
Now, if you had a second guy with the supply pack to keep you topped off then yeah, it'd probably do great in that regard

bleak patrol
#

I specifically did the numbers that way because the argument was that GL-21 with resupply pack is better than GL-28 with a resupply pack (that someone else has to wear obviously)

#

Or just both of them next to a resupply

#

Announcement
If for whatever reason I'm forced to play Erad I will run into the Pelican as soon as it lands and I will not wait for anyone because fuck erad, go fuck yourself for making me play it and I actually hope you fucking die so that I fly off faster

#

I absolutely despise this mission type and I actually think that the Retrieve Essential Personnel (rest in piss) was better

sacred tapir
#

i refuse to touch it unless its reworked

bleak patrol
#

Yeah I just played with my steam friends and they decided to do erad first and then got mad at me for speedrunning my way into the pelican once we were done

sacred tapir
#

idk why

#

shits ass

#

just get it over with

and fuckoff

loud bison
#

lolwut
there is literally nothing left to do at the end
just go

sacred tapir
#

its not a team play kind of mission

#

its the fuck you im out mission type

sacred tapir
#

but on erad i just leave

#

same with pyr

bleak patrol
#

Like I'm fucking sorry that your ego got hurt cause you couldn't kill a few more bots, I'm outta here and so should you

sacred tapir
#

one of the things we agree on

#

i rack up kills on missions that are fun

#

not on erad

#

i do the bare minimum

#

just get the obj

#

and leave

#

no reason to collect all 4 samples and kill all 200000 bots left

#

just go

bleak patrol
#

Like I do not intend to wait for anyone when I have 8 hulks, 6 war striders, 69 fucking berserkers and 2000 other shits on my ass

#

I'm going into the pelican as soon as possible

#

And I'm gonna sit my lazy ass

#

On that comfy chair

sacred tapir
bleak patrol
#

And wave you goodbye

#

If you don't get in in 20 seconds

#

Or die in less

#

Then it's your problem

#

Not mine

#

Like the moment the pelican lands

#

My heavy armor

#

Gets light armor speed

#

And I'm out of here

sacred tapir

nah but fr, erads are miserable on bot front, i cant fault anyone for leaving asap

I thought everyone who reached level 150 could already understand the game clearly. But I was wrong. For some, it was a realization that 380mm artillery shelling would be a good idea on a Vox engine.

look man, i just enjoy the walking barrage

throw it, walk away, come back later

sometimes, it's more effective than expected, other times it does jack

bleak patrol

This sentence describes every barrage

#

Sometimes 380 destroys the entire outpost, sometimes it hits 1 enemy and 3 allies

plucky lion
#

walking barrage is great because of the range it provides over others

#

throw it on the edge of an encampment and watch it go thru the whole thing and kill most of everything in it

So turns out that kills with one true flag don't count as melee kills hmmtodayiwill

#

Source - I for sure killed more than 0 enemies with melee

#

Also the flag gets progressively more damaged as the mission goes on, same as the player's cape

#

Pretty neat

You’re not technically killing anything in melee- you’re just inducing sudden death in unpatriotic elements.

Helldivers Wiki

Players must enter the following sequence, using the controller d‑pad, in order to call down this Stratagem up to five times per mission:

Each barrier despawns after 5 minutes.

I mean sure it would be cool to have a barbed wire stratagem, but where would you use it? I can only think about the tower defense missions

Barbed wire can also be a free MO reward so...

And what about it

light nymph

Sure it's minimal effort and could be a free MO reward but a barbed wire dispenser could also be a minimal effort free MO reward

I can already imagine how it would look like, they would just copy paste the minelayer stratagem thingy and make it drop barbed wire

rancid ibex

You really think, Arrowhead would even do minimum effort in their own game

bleak patrol
#

You can get lazy in both ways

light nymph
#

man is missing the point so hard he's playing Payload

bleak patrol
#

Said the guy who always misses the context

#

You're saying that a mortar is lazy and barbed wire would be so much less lazy and I'm saying that barbed wire could be as lazy as a mortar

#

Literally just repurpose any of the minefield stratagems into deploying barbed wire instead

fleet gazelle
#

• CPG-48 Sapper (Medium) – Grenadier passive: explosive resistance + extra throwables
• CPH-26 Commandant (Light) – Hazmat passive: explosive & gas resistance + reduced sidearm recoil

bleak patrol
#

It's also lazy and probably the way it would play out if we got barbed wire instead and both of those could be a free MO reward, I'd also argue that barbed wire is better for a free MO reward because it at least is somewhat unique

I will judge the warbond when it comes out and I get to actually try the new stuff out

#

The Flamethrower is already dogshit no doubt

nah im willing to bet the smg is gonna be light pen (no issue there) with like fuckin 40 damage because AH hates fun

when theyre the "elites"

Very bullet sponges too

the fucking HUNTER is the worst enemy

followed by the fuckass spewers that decide to surprise vomit you when you just dived

or the green ones that ragdoll you

#

Hunter not only 1 shot u

#

If they dont you will get poisoned

Dont forget that

yeah that too

they made the most dangerous enemy (the hunter) then made it spawn like 2000000 of them

"bugs are balanced and fun bro, trust me"

#

yeah on dif fuckin 5

#

or 6

#

7 and 8 are ok i guess

#

but 9 and 10 are just a hunter touch fest

mixed with random bullshit

but i dont like that either

#

im an 8 guy

more fun to me

too bad retards are in dif 8

I just do 10 to get as much XP for guns as possible tbh

Other than that Id stick to 8

i dont use guns that have upgrades

oh no 10x

yeah when the fuck am i gonna use that?

thats when

the 4x is more than good enough

slim coral
#

Idk why they made first person so bouncy

sacred tapir

that too

slim coral

Its so nauseating

sacred tapir

also guns do not feel as heavy as they are in game

they are more responsive

in first person tho, in third it feels fine

but they drag in the fpp view

#

way too much

#

I always like how for autocannon

#

They dont make the charging handle on the left side

#

So your character always pulls this very awkward stand to cock it

sacred tapir
#

idk man, thats not the autocannon's big issue

#

its the fact its outperformed in every way by AMR imo

#

oh besides horde clear

#

but whos wasting like 4 clips on hordes

#

just use your primary

bleak patrol
bleak patrol
sacred tapir
#

you light yourself on fire and kill yourself more

#

than the bugs

#

because they ignore fire for like 4 seconds and just kill you

#

then die

#

and if you get a single fuckin spark on yourself you ignite like a gasoline and match factory

#

and then die

#

in like 2 seconds

#

lame

#

fire needs a damage boost again imo

bleak patrol
#

I've had great success using fire grenades recently, I don't know how other fire weapons work now nor do I plan to check it cause I'm not in a fire mood rn

#

I will be in a fire mood when the warbond releases

sacred tapir
#

yeah the grenades work because youre not standing still

#

RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM

bleak patrol
#

Oh, also napalm barrage

#

And napalm eagle

sacred tapir
#

because flamethrowers have a whole 2 feet of range

#

at least it feels that way

#

and the strats work too because like i said, you dont die from them unless you stand in them

#

the big issue isnt the damage tbh, its the lack of stagger on the flamethrower

#

so it doesnt control them

bleak patrol
#

Can I get a napalm walking barrage peepopray

sacred tapir
#

it just hurts them, but not fast enough to kill

#

fire itself isnt the issue, its the flamethrower

#

and btw i think the stratagem flamers should stagger

#

to make it different from torcher

#

which is just the flamer but primary

#

and better

#

basically

bleak patrol
#

I'm not really excited about the flamethrower(s) themselves, I'm just happy that I get a secondary shovel, the armor looks cool and the passives sound like something I'd use and also the grenade

sacred tapir
#

just because if it staggered small - medium bugs is ok

#

what is good about the shovel?

#

i dont even know how you use it

bleak patrol
#

It's a shovel

sacred tapir
#

dig a hole

#

thats useless tho

#

well on bots its ok

bleak patrol
#

You can beat enemies with it

sacred tapir
#

but on bugs or squids they just rush you

bleak patrol
#

Melee weapons are surprisingly effective on squids

sacred tapir
#

oh yeah and you can hit shit i guess

sacred tapir
#

the melee part the hatchet does the same thing

bleak patrol
#

I don't really care about the digging

#

It's a funny gimmick

sacred tapir
#

oh so its just another melee that does the same as the other melees

bleak patrol
bleak patrol
sacred tapir
#

i mean i guess shovel could have stagger

#

which would make it better than hatchet

#

for something at least

bleak patrol
#

Baton, lance and flag (yes) have stun, hatchet, machete and saber are great at cutting and shovel digs a hole
And chainsaw chainsaws

sacred tapir
#

the chainsaw is so sad

#

the hammer just took its whole idea and did it BETTER

bleak patrol
#

I dunno I have fun with it

sacred tapir
#

which is annoying

#

it barely has a point besides meme

bleak patrol
#

Chainsaw is very good at horde cleaning

sacred tapir
#

its a meme weapon entirely

sacred tapir
#

im pretty sure saber would do hordes better

bleak patrol
#

Saber takes my secondary slot and I want it

sacred tapir
#

shovel takes it too

#

if i wanted horde clear and losing a support slot

#

its MG-43 or stalwart

bleak patrol
#

Yeah but in my current specific loadout I want a secondary for ultimatum to clear squid outposts quickly

sacred tapir
#

stalwart is just better at hordes

#

than any melee

#

unless those are medium pen hordes

#

then just mg-43

#

simple as

bleak patrol
#

They need to be reloaded

sacred tapir
#

with the 43

#

and the stalwart has more than that

#

250 iirc?

bleak patrol
#

Not with the way the squids fucking spawn god I hate them

sacred tapir
#

idk man

#

squids are defeated by an MG-43

bleak patrol
#

You clear a horde and there's 2 more behind you, they weren't there before

sacred tapir
#

the whole faction

#

which is funny

bleak patrol
#

I ran around with a stalwart for a moment but I only did that because I was still running eruptor at that point

#

I still use stalwart for bugs because I still use the eruptor for bugs

#

I don't use stalwart for bots even though I use the eruptor because on bots I wear explosive resistant armor so I don't really care

#

I like using melee weapons because they are cool and nothing's cooler than cutting an entire horde with a chainsaw

#

I want a secondary slot shovel in case I'm in a mood for a funny cause I can't be arsed to find the map support slot one

#

I want a B E E G grenade for madam

#

I desperately need something to use instead of thermite even if it's worse, as long as it kills the same shit I'm using it

#

Speaking of which, high explosive grenade kinda fits that spot but not as much

#

As they will remove a hulk if they explode when it steps on them

#

Very satisfying

plucky lion
#

dynamite is decent vs bots

bleak patrol
#

Oh yeah that too

#

I need to test it out someday

plucky lion
#

clears drops of devs real well

bleak patrol
#

I mean

#

Eruptor does so too

plucky lion
#

also blows up spawners just being next to them

bleak patrol
bleak patrol
#

I'm beginning to like fighting on the squid front
Not because the squids themselves are fun (they are not) but because I can literally bring anything and it will most likely work

#

I had fun with bfgl, one true flag, defoliation tool and the almighty piss laser

#

All while also running around with a Pacifier

unborn ibex
# sacred tapir my least favorite thing is bug damage

It was this way in the first game to. They kind've hit you with the equivalent of a spear being propelled into your chest by a gorilla on steroids hopped up on meth. So the fact they rend you limb from limb is unsuprising.

#

Of all the "realism" to be bothered by the thing that makes genuine sense is strange.

#

Helldivers is a fantastic couch co-op game that we enjoy as a couple. Watch as we trudge along different terrains and battle all sorts of enemy races in this gameplay.

It's also a great refresher as we await the release of Helldivers 2!

What is Helldivers?
Helldivers is a top-down shooter game developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published ...

I wish they would make the game feel like back in the beginning, the flow of each match felt better. A case of "I like the way this sucks"
The game feels less and less like the game I paid for.

#

Anybody remember when helldives pushed your team to the brink and created intense moments, figting retreats and fostered unique strategies (assuming one did not use shield + railgun)?

#

"oh shit does anyone have a precision strike off cooldown"

pale hollow
#

I do, I had an entire loadout dedicated to taking out hulks and downing aircraft

#

Laser cannon and stun nades + supply pack, I had to do teamplay as I could not handle tanks or swarms of other enemies.... Man, I genueinely miss the old HD2, yes it was unbalanced and buggy and kinda shit, but it had more soul that what we have now.

plain bough
#

then unique events like the shrieker horde on meridia

#

we ain't got shit like that

#

Which was cancer, but fun

plucky lion
#

now you get sniped by a vox engine standing upside down in a skyscraper from 200m away instead

pale hollow
#

Also, anyone remember when hunters could actually fuck you? now they just take turns jumping at you

#

The Stalwart was actually viable as a support weapon, purely to handle them

#

Now it is in limbo

plucky lion
#

stalwart is still perfectly fine for bugs and squids

pale hollow
#

I mean, yeah it is fine, but it feels like most other things are just better

plucky lion
#

altho since other guns got buffed it doesnt feel as necessary

pale hollow
#

I am convinced the biggest reason the game has (in my opinion) gone to 'shit' is that people insisted on being able to clear helldive difficulty consistently and the devs being both stupid enough to listen to gamers (huge mistake) while also having a deranged balance team

plucky lion
#

idk i kinda like having most weapons being viable to some degree. feels better having freedom of choice without much penalty. early on a lot of choices just kind of sucked. the cost is that you have to play variant enemies to get the proper challenge

#

but cyborgs and predator strain are still tough enough imo

pale hollow
#

Yeah, the variants help some

plucky lion
#

what we need next is variant squids

plain bough
#

we need em cultists, it's been too long since illuminate got a roster increase

plucky lion
#

a normal roster increase wouldnt be bad either

bleak patrol
#

I do more or less like how the game is right now I just wish that maybe vox engines would spawn less frequently on cyborg planets and maybe for some more squid units and maybe to bring back the old fire

#

And I would also like for the game to stop crashing my laptop's display drivers randomly when I boot it up or when I alt tab

#

I do not miss the old game size

#

Oh and I would also like for the voteless patrols to stop randomly appearing behind me the moment I look the other way doge1doge2

sacred tapir
#

i would like the stratagem flamer (both old and new backpack one) to have stagger

#

and if they gave the bfgl just a little more damage, i could forgive it

You have no humor tho

Sony is going to close the studio down after they make record breaking numbers just like they did bluepoint kek1

They could fucking make the best selling game and win all the GOTY awards

Sony can't do that

#

They don't own Arrowhead

They own the Helldivers IP tho

Fuck holdon

Uh something something helldivers 2 gets taken off of pc cause a sony executive got high on galaxy gas and ibuprofen something something

Yea thumbsUp2x

But I think they don't even need to be high on galaxy gas and ibuprofen

#

They are stupid like that by default

Why muh pc sales so low

It would be extremely funny

If Sony would

Buy Arrowhead

And them close the studio

It would be oh so funny

But it would be funny as fuck

#

I cannot deny how fucking funny it would be

dire igloo
#

It would be even funnier if they bought all the companies that they outsource content to

#

And then they cant outsource anymore

#

So they have to make the game

As I said

#

If they really are making another game

#

I'm not really that surprised

and it has gotten slightly better

I mean, disliking the balance is at least a valid thing to dislike

narrow trout
#

ok well theres the bugs for client side stuff

bleak patrol
#

Being upset at bugs is also valid

narrow trout
#

...and i think the way of obtaining super credits should be changed?

bleak patrol
#

But being upset at outsourcing stuff, which is a normal fucking thing, which was also a public knowledge for at least a year but it's only a problem now, is extremely stupid

bleak patrol
#

Like I fucking warp into a bunker, look to my right, 3 piles of sc

sacred tapir
#

outsourcing doesnt bother me, what bothers me is balancing

bleak patrol
#

And that's valid

sacred tapir
#

bugs also suck i suppose, but i dont get that many, im lucky

#

outsourcing is whatever, it just happens

#

its a common thing, as stated above

bleak patrol
#

There's also another thing to consider

sacred tapir
#

everyone besides indie devs do that

bleak patrol
#

AH only employs 140 people and they are supposedly working on another game

#

I've heard that the new flamer supposedly staggers enemies

sacred tapir
#

i mean thats all i ask, stagger/enough damage they cant get close

bleak patrol
#

If true, it may be worth using sometimes

sacred tapir
#

so it doesnt seem to be a complete bust here, and it should have like, 2x the fuel of the normal one (i mean normal gets 4 total mags iirc, it should have the equivalent of 6-8)

#

just to offset the backpack part

#

because if im losing my backpack, it better be worth it ammo wise, because the original one slurped up all your ammo so fast

bleak patrol
#

Just a few more days and we'll see

sacred tapir
#

when is release?

#

tuesday?

bleak patrol
#

17th

sacred tapir
#

ffs

#

so many things on tuesday

#

darktide and hd2 release updates

#

darktide first, i guess

bleak patrol
#

You've seen what I said like, yesterday or so

#

That Darktide runs on the same engine as HD2

sacred tapir
#

yeah it does

dire igloo
#

Fuck these games

#

Who rocking their galactic deeply

#

Get on some real mens shit

sacred tapir
#

not me, shoo

dire igloo
#

Oil up and pull out your laser pointer and start screaming were rich with me

sacred tapir
#

anyways, yeah darktide and hd2 run on the same engine

#

im not sure how either game runs even close to well

#

they both have mediocre performance, but the fact they even work is impressive

#

to me

bleak patrol
#

It do be impressive

sacred tapir
#

i can get better frames on darktide though, so theyve managed to optimize it like 5% better than AH

#

ive heard that some fatshark devs worked on the engine before, but thats just what i heard, not what i know

bleak patrol
#

I need to give Darktide another chance

sacred tapir
#

also hot take, the classes costing 15 dollars each is somewhat fair

#

because each career in vermintide is about 3-4 dollars

#

and you get basically 1 tree of perks/traits

#

but darktide has a MUCH bigger skill tree for its classes

#

so you essentially get 3 careers in 1 class

#

also more build freedom than with vt2's

bleak patrol
#

Fatshark as a studio has a lot more experience with Stingray than Arrowhead

sacred tapir
#

they have more knowledge of its workings, which is why it runs a little better

sacred tapir
#

but you can also mix and match between the 3 trees

#

so its 3 in 1

bleak patrol
#

I need to veteran my veteran so that I can veteran some more

yeah veteran is really neato

Not like I hate it that they do that, but come on, the fact that the best stuff comes out not from the AH themselves, but the other guys, is quite funny and tragic at the same time.
And then they touch the best stuff that wasn't even made by them with their non-playing retarded ass balance hands, and ruin everything.
No wonder people are saying that the game might die because of their bad fucking management.
