More recycled content in a paid battlepass

give nuke plz

Lemme guess, that new support weapon strategem makes the rail gun obsolete and it'll take the devs somewhere between 6-9 months to put their donuts down and make balance adjustments.

>>715081657 (OP)
>Warp pack
I wonder what that does, the primary weapon looks cool but I doubt it will be a more fun sniper than the killzone collab one. Laser sentry seems whatever just like an arc grenade, I never really understood the point of utility grenades like gas for example, why not just throw something that kills the enemies instead

>>715081875
imagine still seething about the railgun

>>715081875
>makes the railgun obsolete
didn't that happen over a year ago now?

>>715081961
teleports you a short distance. Eventually it breaks and kills you.

>>715081961
>I wonder what that does,
You teleport a short distance and deal AOE plasma damage on the exit point.

>>715081657 (OP)
the fuck is a warp pack?

>>715082365
Miniature black hole in a backpack. Allows you to teleport yourself. Imagine the jetpack but you don't have to actually travel. Just BOOP and you're there

soooooo we’re getting ODST warbond when Xbox port drops, yessss???? with Warthog skin yesssss??

>>715081961
It lets you telefrag

>>715082183
Yep. I think the Purifier, Slugger and now the Rail Gun are the weapons that went the longest amount of time with no changes and people only use them for variety. Even the Diablo 4 devs are more attentive to balance.

I can provide a temporary railgun fix with two lines of code -

railgun does 20% more damage
railgun has 10 more rounds

>>715082589
Probably. They'd be dumb not to release something Halo related

>>715081875
Over the shoulder big plasma gun with an unsafe mode

>>715082715
or they can just give it an actual fucking scope

>>715082581
sounds too random to be useful. what if it teleports me into Buttfuck City?

>>715081828
Everything in the Helldivers 2 can be earned. Even the premium warbonds that require super credits. Because you can grind super credits instead of paying for them. And the "battlepass" you speak of is just the Warbonds and they never go away. This game has no Fomo. Everything that was ever released is always there and able to be acquired without additional cost.

>>715082715
Railgun is fine, it does it's job, why do you want it to just be the best thing in every situation? It's handling is better than most call ins, that's why it can't be stronger than the things that are harder to aim and with more slow reloads

>>715082869
Its not random, its deliberate. Teleports you a certain distance forward. The entire point of the warbond is in the name. Control. Its risk vs reward. Do you have enough control over the dangerous shit to effectively make use of it without killing yourself

>>715082929
>just spend several hours running around empty maps to earn that warbond bro

>>715082940
What is its job? It cant kill heavies like a Recoiless or a Quasar. So it should be more of a sustained firing weapon that can handle a scrap, like three medium armor bots, 1 tank and a half dead hulk coming right at you. It should be able to keep firing while your Quasar goober teammate is on cooldown. Except it sucks.

It doesn't have the ammo or the fire rate (and it takes too long to charge/hold aim on target) to waste bots before they just walk right up to you.

>>715083179
I mean, its not a particularly fun thing to do but if you get 3 people willing to SC grind for like half an hour to an hour you already get enough for a warbond unless your map RNG is really fucking awful that day. Its better than having to pay monthly fees to the game in order for you to be able to access new content

>>715083405
It can take out heavies if you aim for weak points, it has a ton of pen but it shouldn't do damage on par with something much harder to use

>>715082929
this line again
i didn't believe you at launch and i don't believe you now
they've taken things that were previously earnable through in game currency and locked it behind battlepasses
what is the point of requisition points now? all the 'new' stratagems are just vanilla stratagems with a vanilla gun but for some reason requisition points are just not good enough for them
arrowhead caught you in their web

Honestly I’m interested in hopping back into it.
I quit when they started nerfing absolutely everything

>>715083445
Did they ever change how they spawn in bigger maps or higher difficulties? Doing the easiest missions because they have the smallest map is retarded.

>>715081657 (OP)
>telefrag packpack
welcome back Ranger

>>715081961
You can telefrag a bile spewer only for it to explode in your face

>>715082929
I've never felt so much like I was reading an automated reply in my life.

>>715083585
They're still shitty ass developers and I'll never like them for making comments that go against their own playerbase, fucking retarded ass attention whore devs. The game is in a fun state though, if you can't refund it you might aswell make use of it

>>715083529
You use requisition to get the regular, non warbond stratagems. Then you use it to modify your primary weapons. At some point they'll introduce secondary and probably armor modification as well

>>715083529
>they've taken things that were previously earnable through in game currency and locked it behind battlepasses

Wait what? I haven't played for months but that sounds super scummy. What items/guns did they move?

>>715083497
I don't want a broken railgun, I don't want it to one-shot everything, I'm not saying that. You saying it's fine is completely ridiculous though. Anti-Material is better, Autocannon is WAY better, there is no debate here, stop talking to me.

>>715082869
You'll kill yourself if you teleport 4 times in a row without letting it cool down I think

>>715083445
I paid 40 euros for this game, I shouldn't have to grind

>>715083830
bad faith strawman kys

>>715083954
You can thank battlefield 2 for popularizing grinding to unlock weapons in a game you already paid for. Now people think it's normal and fine.

>>715084048
??
Did you reply to the wrong person?

>>715081657 (OP)
I think a year and a few months was a good run for it, but I just don't care to play it anymore. The only thing that keeps it from being repetitive is the new weapons and items, but you have to a boring and unfun grind to get them (or you pay pig which is cancer). Super credits should be rewards for major orders or something at the very least. But it really needs new mission variety, like what if you had go down in the tunnels in a terminid hive? Or you had to board a illuminate mothership? Maybe HD3 they will do better.

>>715083954
I don't like it either, I'm just saying that there is worse shit out there, the fact that you can pay 40 euros for a live service game and not have to pay it again in order to experience the new content is a positive nowadays since the industry went to shit

>>715081657 (OP)
but its not in the game as of yet

I'll reinstall when I can just buy every warbond for $5

>>715081657 (OP)
No one cares about your shit and dead game, marketer.

>>715083445
>try to do it solo
>bunkers everywhere

>>715081657 (OP)
yeeeaa lemme know when i can be peter griffin

>>715084051
The grind wouldn't be nearly as egregious if it wasn't skippable via microtransaction.

any news on the credit reward rebalancing they mentioned?

>>715083830
that guy meant that new stratagems are always in warbonds now, warbonds used to be weapons, skins and boosters only, all the old ones are still purchaseable with in-game currency
TBF they added free stuff to the game like enemies and maps, but i imagine that someone that dropped the game and comes back will see the enormous amount of grind they have to do if they want to try a ''new'' weapon or stratagem and quickly drop it back, the people playing now have sunken cost fallacy

>>715081657 (OP)
There's over 100 bucks worth of battlepasses in this game now
Watch the shills claiming that this isn't p2w

>>715083641
No, I only play diff 9-10 and I barely find any SC if at all

>>715084158
I got 350 hours out of it and I'm good. I get slight urges to play when an interesting warbond is out, but I know that the enjoyment of messing around with the new weapons is not worth the hassle of dealing with braindead teammates and DPS tards (who NEED you to see them throw the big strategem or they get upset).

>>715085194
All of that shit should have been free, and its impossible to grind for because the premium currency is rare to find in-game.

>>715085408
>who NEED you to see them throw the big strategem or they get upset
qrd?

>>715081657 (OP)
haven't played since i hit the paywall, not logging in since i know the new content won't be accessible for me

>>715081657 (OP)
are you people spending money to buy these, I play occasionally but picking up super credits is almost impossible with normal play, get maybe 10 per dive on average

>>715085016
Thanks anon that makes far more sense. I'm not really surprised considering they did the same thing for the first games dlc.

>>715085663
the /vg/ autists grind for hours on difficulty 2

>>715085663
People are spending money. New warbond come out once every month and half to two months. People will slap down $10 to buy the supercreds to get the newest one. That's cheaper than an mmo sub

>>715085663
Most people did pic related when the game released before they fixed it. I still have thousands of SC leftover from doing it.

They took too long to release pic related.
I stopped caring and left. I'm NOT coming back.

>>715084158
Pretty much yeah, its literally just the same issue Darktide has and both are coop shooters too which is insane. Darktide also has a nice gameplay loop that benefits heavily from new weapons,grenades and literally any new type of addition to it but the actual content you have to do is just complete dogshit, they put ZERO effort in actually making other mission types and maps that actually feel different from one another besides just looking different, its genuinely so dissapointing

>>715086425
>stopped caring
>posts

>>715085663
do medium difficulty and you get 50 per run, more if you get lucky with the 100 proc. spend medals on SC in free warbond and premium ones you already unlocked, plenty of ways to get them free

If the premium currency was actually obtainable in game without the mindless walking in circles alongside purchasing it to by pass the grind I'd be on board , have they announced any plans to make it gamer proof and not walk in circles seeking efficiency , tied to higher difficulty, rewards after major orders , anything?

I bought this game but haven't played in forever and didn't really get it, are there any funny gimmick weapons? The starting guns are so boring and it was so grindy.

>laser sentry
Finally.

Now helldivers 2 is coming to xbox, will we get master chief in the game
