Literally easy as hell.

>>720069574
They aren't bad to fight when you see them. The gayest faggiest shit is when they just silently instakill you doing a flyby and the tiniest speck of flame hits you and does 100% hp

>>720070221
Hold down the fire button if you actually want it to track a target
Otherwise it just heads to the map coordinates of whatever you pointed at, even if the original target moves.

>>720069242
cute

>>720072535
I appreciate the details of the strategems. Like how they come in from different directions based on how you call them, and how things like buildings will block them.

>>720072535
lmao

>>720068542 (OP)
My computer can't even run this piece of shit of game anymore
Update completely broke it
And you niggers wonder why I would rather spend my money on gatcha

>>720068542 (OP)
The more I have played of the update, the more I realize that there's no one problem with it in particular. Instead, it's the combination of everything they added
>here's a giant fire-breathing dragon that can nuke you instantly
>here's a giant sand worm that takes forever to kill
>and all the bugs can burrow now
>and the big acid-spitting bugs? even they can burrow and they'll immediately shoot when they resurface
>and the new bugs have armor everywhere and it's tough to know where to shoot them
>and the caves
>and the fucking tanker truck
It all adds up to be just too much. And what exactly did we get to deal with all of these new threats other than a new pay-to-win gun?

>>720069242
That bug clearly had a personal problem with the hive lordvand wanted you to finish

>>720079365
I think my major number one problem is the burrowing enemies, I just want a simple explanation for how to deal with them.
>Want them dead now while they burrow? You MUST use explosive damage.
>No explosives? They MUST jump out and attack you.
>Don't want to wait around and let them fuck around near you for that long? Fuck you.
It's just such a hassle.

>>720079028
you're poor and brown

>>720079365
The burrowed bugs can be damaged with area effects such as gas and fire. Explosions cause them to surface. The scorcher and orbital barrage are especially good right now.
I am not good at fighting the hive lords to be honest but 1 quaser to the head kills dragonroachs. Dodge their strafing breath, then when they hover and turn to breath on you, blast them.

>First attempt was just a shitload of bugs.
>Second attempt was a shitload of bugs except now some of them can cloak like the predator.
>Third and ongoing attempt, it is essentially the xenomorph homeworld on steroids.
Will we EVER take Oshaune?

>>720079365
I just started playing and my biggest complaint is having the shuttle drop zones in a cave. I'm expected to believe they would choose an inconvenient location that is difficult to use stratagems as opposed to places in the map that are an open fucking field

ill never get to play this game, it looks so fucking fun and ill never get to play it
i fucking HATE gameguard and i fucking hate those stupid fucking grifters who made it look like the worst fucking thing on planet earth.
so now my friends refuse to even touch the game till it's removed

>>720079365
You don't have to kill the Hive lord unless it's an oil rig mission. You should be prepared to kill it if you choose that mission and it honestly doesn't take long unless he's burrowing for 10 minutes.

>>720080515
anon...
when the game dropped I made a Nobara linux partition on my PC and have practically migrated fully to linux because of it
Gameguard still 'installs' but doesn't work on linux
Even then, you can decouple gameguard or even just give it insanely low cpu priority on windows if you wanted to stay on it

>>720079831
Run the Purifier, its charge shot is large explosive damage that can kill them while burrowed and will force even heavies out of the ground.

>>720079831
And why do they have medium armor? Heavier armor makes sense on elite units or slow enemies but burrow warriors are essentially ambush/harrier type enemies relying on speed and evasion like the leaper bugs.

>>720080756
iv already suggested all this to them, they don't think it's worth the effort they would rather wait until something that will never happen

>>720080515
>falling for the "anti cheet is spyware" meme

Most idiots that say that are usually cheaters themselves. If they are that worried about it, have a comp for work and a comp for gaming with no other information on it. It's that simple. Your friends just trolled the fuck out of themselves and you to miss out on fun because of gay bullshit that doesn't matter.

Willing to bet 10 bux they all play gay shit like Valorant/League and say that anti-cheat is okay too.

>>720081596
Don't use this reaction image with your bad posts

>>720079028
my steam deck literally runs it with big tits and ass mods too

>>720081106
Because the developers probably thought that it would balance out all the additional power they've been giving the players lately? All the new bugs essentially revert some of the tactics to early launch era. Rupture warriors shrug off most fire that isn't medium pen. Rupture Chargers can't have their leg armor shaved off with AP4 weapons or explosive damage. Rupture spewers fire fast and are silent as fuck. Actually that's a big one, most of the new enemies and their actions don't appear to have an audio file, or it just doesn't play like it's supposed to.

>>720081596
it's worse then that anon, they think that Game guard will brick their pc, cause it to bluescreen constantly and destroy SSDs/HDDs
all because of those fucking youtube videos made by grifters and that one mega thread on the steam forums against the anti-cheat.
don't get me wrong i hate Kernal level anti-cheats too.

The spear rocket launcher is just a worse recoiless rifle, but I love using it

>>720081687
>one of those idiots that thinks anti-cheats kill comps/leaks data

Shut the fuck up, if you think your data is being leaked constantly, surprise nigger, all the social media you jack off to does it already. If you think it kills a computer, guess what, your comp was already on the way out from overuse jacking it to the above. kys.

>>720081830
Yeah your friends are retarded. Believing streamers is a joke and does nothing but get people trolled. If that was actually happening then where's videos of it happening? Who the fuck falls for this but low IQ idiots? Sounds like the game is better off being gate-kept by such morons. Bro just go buy the game and play with randoms, fuck those idiots.

>>720082007
It can't deliberately hit weak spots but does lock on to targets from medium to long range with decent consistency. It'll still 2 tap a Scorch Roach regardless of where it hits so thankfully those flying fucks can't outrun missile.

>>720081865
BAZINGA

>>720079365
All that is fine it’s Strats being buggy/unsusable in caves AND caves being the whole map and not just one mission/section.

>>720081865
Railcannon has too long of a cooldown to be worth using if you understand how your other strategems work, and most times I don't even run air/orbital support because the caves cause so many issues, especially in regards to Nuke Nursery and the Oil Extraction/Flag objectives.

>>720082494
You know what I wish worked and should work while in the damn caves? Eagle Rearm.

>>720082142
So, I've found that on chargers and big tentacle dudes that given enough distance, it should consistently hit them on top and one shot, or leave them bleeding out. On dragon roach and bile titan, it's usually a 2 shot kill to the body BUT if it's facing your direction and spewing, your rocket should go for the open face and one shot.

>>720080515
game guard literally doesn't do anything lol

>>720082561
it's worth taking on cave planets cuz it instakills dragonroaches when you need to surface

>>720082142
I thought this as well. Then I played one match where 4 of them wouldn't drop a roach. The spear is wildly inconsistent

I don't mind fighting flying roaches I just hate the spawn rate. Yes you can theoretically one shot them, but now you have to wait with your thumb up your ass for them to do-see-do-until they are stationary and be able to headshot or orbital them (or waste 2 spears to hit them while moving). So every 30 seconds it's ~20 seconds you waste waiting for the faggot to get killable, then the cycle repeats itself over and over.

They should either just become medium nusance threats (more common but more vulnerable) akin to flying gas-bag-bugs or they should become more major threats but are less frequent (like BTs are when properly spawning). Given I like fucking frames and being able to see my screen make them more threatening/more HP but less frequent in spawn.

>>720083172
I'll give that a try. I like the mech in tunnels but I hate it on the surface because chargers and flying roaches take 1/4 to 1/2 of your entire railcannon magazine to kill.

>>720083284
Sorry I meant every 60 seconds, not 30. Give or take. I just know we'll kill a roach and less than 30 seconds later it's
>Another roach spotted

>>720082613
You should be able to at least type them in any time and throw them into a placeable area but you can only even type in the spot where you have to throw. Stupid.

>>720083284
I heard they replace regular Bile Titans if they happen to be in a seed that spawns them, however I've seen Biles still spawn regardless. They have the same threat level as a Bile but spawn at nearly 300% the rate and are significantly more dangerous thanks to their mobility and inconsistent fire effects. You can look like you dodged the flame but still take the damage. As for solutions? Make them apart of the Shrieker packs, but as you said a medium armor (heavy armor at best) target that spawns from Shrieker Hives as a queen of sort. Or only have them appear around certain objectives so they don't keep randomly spawning on the map then bee-line their way to your squads position. These fucks seem magnetically attracted to the players positions and will fly to us without fail.

Just fyi! If a dragon roach is flying over head, go prone and it won't spot you. It might start circling though, just let it leave. It'll aggro if you aren't prone or if your already fighting bugs

The more I play the less bullshit it gets. You just need to plan your loadouts accordingly. The bug homeworlds should be difficult anyway.

>>720079365
The burrowing bugs are either easy to dodge or completely impossible from round to round, supposedly depending on if you're the network host or not. Other than that and any other technical issues (of which there are plenty of course), Hive Worlds are fine. They're supposed to be more difficult than regular worlds, but honestly missions are still too easy as long as you don't get the hard-mode burrow bugs. Keep moving and none of the regular terminids can do anything to you. Flying BTs aren't any worse than regular BTs, and the Hive Lord can just be completely ignored.

Dragon roaches respawn so fast it doesnt even feel worth killing them.

>>720068542 (OP)
You fellas been able to kill the big worm with your buddies?

>>720082007
You're just using it wrong lol. Play on bots and if you find a good elevated position and get some spare ammo you can clear out entire fortresses with it before anyone inside can retaliate.

>>720084047
>To deal with the Hive Lord, just ignore it
>To deal with the Leviathan, just ignore it

This wasn't fun for the Leviathan and it's not fun here. Something this fuck off huge should've been a primary objective. It's already a pseudo-boss fight, just go that last little bit to make it an official one.

>>720079365
All of these "problems" can be solved by using the magnum.

>>720084693
If you want the hive lord to be a primary objective, then just play the oil truck mission.

It's really weird that people at Arrowhead presumably did at least a tiny amount of play testing and still somehow thought the patch was good enough to go live.

>>720084280
I spent the last 5-6 minutes of a mission with a bunch of low levels just killing the three dragonroaches while they were calling in extraction. Killed them and they still died to the enemies that spawned at the extract.

Our finest hour

>>720085590
Drop the difficulty, no one cares that you could solo dive Super Helldive on other planets, this is one of the Bug's Hive Worlds, it's supposed to be bullshit, and we're only supposed to be getting samples now anyway, and we're fucked on that front since people complete the objectives, but don't extract most times.

>>720085590
Frankly, I'm impressed the hive lord works as well as he does. Git gud

>>720068542 (OP)
>It's another squads spends all of our reinforments trying to fight hivelord episode
We had like 40+ samples and could have extracted

According to the devs, Helldivers players don't spend enough time whining on social media.

https://www.gamesradar.com/games/third-person-shooter/helldivers-2-studio-ceo-says-the-vast-majority-of-people-silently-play-the-shooter-which-means-the-devs-cant-just-look-at-reddit-and-what-streamers-are-saying-for-feedback-this-is-a-challenge-for-all-games/

>>720084280
How much HP do they have compared to regular biletitans? They seem way more tanky

>>720086761
Pretty sure they have lower or equal health, they just don't have nearly the amount of armor, I could finish one off using the Purifier hitting the body and not its unarmored wings.

>>720086864
Maybe i was just seeing things but i swear one dragon tanked a headshot from a recoilless rifle from me

>>720086991
much like a bile titan, one-shot headshot with RR is fairly precise. it's a fair bit harder too because he's farther away than a bile usually is and is hovering up and down

>>720080346
Taking it is not an option. The bugs reclaim faster than what players can take. It's all about getting the samples for that MO we're going to fail.

>>720087170
>and is hovering up and down
Makes sense. I have no issues nailing down biletitans but dragons give me way more trouble

>>720086430
The majority of every playerbase will always be silent and the only feedback you're getting from them is playtime and player counts. That doesn't really excuse them being so retarded that they have to adjust every single MO. They suck with data. End of story.

>>720068542 (OP)
He's okay i just hate the stupid fucking worm.
I haven't been to a single truck mission that hasn't failed because of the piece of shit worm that's essentially immortal unless you make a build with shit specifically designed to kill it and even so it'll still take a while if you don't have teammates who also wanna cooperate in murdering it.

Just flatten the whole fucking planet with orbital barrages.

Remove the nonsensical anticheat and I will buy the game, I will play it
hell I'll probably buy the premium currency too

>>720087907
No you won't, tranny.

>>720087667
I've had the opposite experience, truck missions are ez because the autocannon turret is OP and the truck doesn't seem to care at all about hive lord vomit and bellyflops. Maybe because I'm hosting and driving.

>>720088002
All the time i see the worm flip the fucking truck and it immediately exploding.

>maybe i'll reinstall, i think i've got the spa-
was the game always this big? i thought i remembered it being under 100gb

>>720089173
Game has nearly doubled in size since launch. No clue what's bloating the file size but major patches require unpacking and repacking nearly all if not all of that. Real ssd killer if you're running low on space

>>720089525
>No clue what's bloating the file size
>Game has nearly doubled in size since launch.
The fact that there is more than twice as much game compared to when it came out? New planets, factions, weapons, weather, etc.

>>720079365
The new AR is a good rifle that puts it closer to the better non-AR weapons. Every other AR is trash

>>720089525
>>720089790
There's also the fact the game is running on some ancient dinosaur engine that is no longer being supported by its dev. Iirc it is literally the same engine as the first Magicka but Frankensteined together with shitloads of contradictory patches to let it work as a third person shooter engine.

do NOT remove the anticheat, I have to play in the same timezone as Chinese and if you let them they'll ruin the whole damn game.

>>720068542 (OP)
mfw Walkers are viable again, its so satisfying going cave exploring with 2-3 other mechs , i dunno when they increased the limit to 3 mechs

>>720090016
>Iirc it is literally the same engine as the first Magicka but Frankensteined together with shitloads of contradictory patches to let it work as a third person shooter engine.
This is more common than you think. One of the PS2 Lord of the Rings games was made using the Tiger Woods PGA Golf engine, because it happened to do most of what they needed.

>>720089525
Pretty sure most people agree the PC file size being that big is due to duplicate files to help people still using HDDs instead of SSDs.

>>720089173
Each mission in the game is in a folder, and they copy paste every texture into each folder so HDD users can load faster, some textures for example get copied more than 100 times, the game should be less than 31 GB if no textures were copied.

>>720079831
The problem with burrowers is that you need to dedicate part of your loadout to dealing with them but there's so many and they come at you so quickly that you can't rely on one or two people dealing with them, everyone needs to have a consistent source of explosive damage

>>720081778
WAIT
HOW DO YOU MOD IT ON STEAM DECK?
I HAVEN'T PLAYED PC GAMES SINCE CS 1.6 RELEASED AND I'M SO LOST ON IT

>>720090925
>everyone needs to have a consistent source of explosive damage
This is my Problem Solver.

>>720090016
Yep, same zombie engine that Fatshark uses.

>>720090305
Deus ex HR uses the tomb raider underworld engine but my favourite has got to be Payday 2 being made in a fucking racing game engine.

>>720068542 (OP)
He's way easier than a Bile Titan
Just shoot him

>>720069242
>YOOOOO YOU SEE THAT SHIT?

>>720090970
So, there's a helldivers mod manager, get that and add the launcher for it to steam as a non-steam game, go to the mod manager properties in steam and mark it as 'force the use of specific steam play compatability'. After that you should be able to launch the mod manager via steam and add mods, should be straight forward from there! Be sure to look any abdomera mods for big titty

>>720091619
Skipped a part! After you mark the 'force compatability' part, set it to 'proton experimental'

Unless you bought the new warbond and have acid resistance equipped the borrowing acid fags are just too annoying. They pop up and attack instantly, they slow, they insta kill you with the acid, they attack without line of sight, they obscure your vision and then they reburrow. Just make it so they dont go back underground after the first attack and it wouldnt be so bad. I feel like I have 10 of those fags on my ass at all times + everyone else.

The Hivelord ending the tanker mission almost instantly is such bullshit, it happened 10 seconds into a mission once when it spawn directly under the tanker as we dropped in. Dragon Roach AOE needs to be reeled in too or the visual effect needs to be better. Dying just in the vaguest proximity to the fart breath sucks.

>>720090287
did they increase the AOE for contact damage on them because since this update someone walking even slightly near me as im rotating causes teammates to die instantly.

>>720091619
>Extra padding

I hope they do more collabs
The ODST stuff is so cool to see

Colonial marine warbond soon

>>720093264
Soon

>>720093684
>>720093264
I wish I could look at collabs and think "Thats cool I like seeing X in Y"

But all I see is people putting graffiti on works of art. Just tacky corporate bullshit trying to selling popular garbage from one area in another, polluting and ruining both instead of keeping the art clean and focused on being good art to the point where everything just looks the same, acts the same and nothing is unique or special.

>>720093827
I can understand that
Collabs by their nature are appeals to nostalgia
"Remember that game!"
It's unnecessary and sometimes immersion breaking
I think they're cool though if done tastefully

>>720095873
referential or 'inspired by' stuff is always better than a straight up crossover, especially when they adapt it properly into the existing artstyle. they did robocop/judge dredd helmets in the force of law warbond, and dunc capes (i think?) in the desert warbond that just came out

>>720093827
ODST was clearly an inspiration for Helldivers, and the armor fits perfectly with the game.

>>720081596
That's just a bait that gets posted in every single thread to keep it bumped

>>720079365
Tried it once, didn't like it, went back to bots.

>>720092381
Yes, you need medium armor to not insta die when they walk past you

I'm honestly not mad about the bullshit going on for this update. The Galactic War is railroaded, so if they're going to have us lose an MO, they might as well have us lose spectacularly. I bet the Xbox players are gonna remember this one for a long time.

I only play difficulty challenge 4-5 what is that thing?

>>720096357
I think ODST stuff works into the art style really well
At least for the descriptions they went a little more tongue-in-cheek than "FROM THE WORLD OF JOHN HALO"

>>720069242
>ah no, continue. Don't mind me.

>>720097169
Pretty sure they can spawn on up to 4-5, also have you bothered upgrading your ship modules? 2 500kgs are a godsend.

>>720091437
>made in a racing game engine
>the driving is complete ass
Dangerously based.

>>720096494
Starship troopers, the terminator, and war of the worlds were what inspired Helldivers.

>>720093781
Imperial guard gear would be great.

>>720096494
Technically Overseers are just Elites, but with the head being "different."

>>720097062
I wish players would collectively do their own thing more and ignore the MO. Ot's always more memorable when that happens and also better storytelling than whatever Joel and his team keep shitting out.

>>720068542 (OP)
I genuinely do not see how Helldivers can survive as a live service game at this point. It's unbelievably buggy, devs themselves admitting the technical debt is too much and they refuse to do big optimization/bug fix patches. Love this game to death but it hurts how awful the technical side is, to the point where I can't even bring myself to play it right now.

>>720091462
A bile titan doesn't set you on fire from across the map.

>>720097274
I'm at the point where all my upgrades need that purple thing and I don't have any

>>720097889
Play on higher difficulties.

>>720097783
>3 divers bring orbital napalm
>a dragon shows up
>so does a worm
>they all toss napalm at it
>framerate drops to single digits from the sheer amount of fire and acid on the screen

>>720097889
Look for butt plug rock formations on difficulties where it says you can get purple samples, it's only in those spots, you will never go short on them after the first time you figure it out

>>720097783
Some of the jank is charming like the pelican flying through buildings and fun Ragdolls
Other than that, I haven't experienced much in the way of bugginess
It has crashed on me once when jumping to another system, but that could also be because I run an AMD GPU

>>720097274
They do spawn on 5, but mercifully it’s usually just 1 at a time. Still has the same issue higher difficulties have where another will spawn 30-60 seconds after you kill the first. Like the worlds gayest hydra popping out a new head.

>>720097953
>Napalm
>not 380mms
God, have they fixed the dupe stratagem glitch yet? I wanna see if several 380s can kill the Hive Lord after a few rounds?

>>720098140
Seeing someone bringing the orbital napalm feels like someone calling in a fucking loading screen

>>720098041
Some jank is charming but HD2 straight up refuses to work for some pc systems, and it seems to just be luck of the draw
>>720068542 (OP)
If you bring a SPEAR you get to see it chase the dickheads down and its almost worth the tradeoff of sick recoilless shots and not being able to use it in the caves

Which warbond should I get if I don't have any right now? I was thinking of getting the halo one and then a second meta one. I heard the halo one was kinda ass but I'm a sucker

>>720098310
Democratic Detonation for the best one. Thermites are OP, Eruptor and Crossbow are the best primaries in the game.
Halo one is okay. AR is the second best med pen AR, Pistol and SMG are just ok but niche picks, Shotgun is good don't listen to homos that say otherwise.

>>720098310
Halo one is pretty mediocre but if you don't plan on going to Oshaune or high difficulties anytime soon then it's fine. Democratic Detonation is the absolute best first warbond to get.

Are eagle strikes just straight up better than orbitals?

>>720098310
Democratic detonations has a lot of the best stuff still in it. All the primaries are decent and having a pistol that shoots grenades is more hand than you’d think. The thermite is 100% going to kill most things with a single throw. So definitely make that your first one to pick up.

>>720098310
Just download a mod to make your dudes look halo

>>720098441
Shotgun slaps and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise
It's tube loaded too, so bottomless mag so long as you keep tapping R

>>720081596
>Most idiots that say that are usually cheaters themselves.
shit, good thing it blocked all of those cheaters that definitely aren't still roaming around in public games on all platforms. my data might be vulnerable on boot and the game might run like shit in 4k, but at least I know that my game is totally devoid of cheaters. you bootlicking faggots.

>>720098514
You can throw orbitals down as fast as they come back, airstrikes aren't quite as consistent, especially when you run 2 eagle stratagems together

>>720098514
they are generally weaker, but faster deploying

>>720098564
The part where it’s light pen only in a game that spams medium armor targets is a big minus.

>>720098639
That why you compensate with other weapons/strategems in your loadout. I bring it on Automatons all the time and do great with it.

>>720098639
Funnily enough, I feel like it's better v bots than either other faction

>>720098701
I don't think there's actually a single bad gun for fighting bots

>>720098798
Any smg desu

>>720098639
Yuge knockback is a godsend in the bug tunnels. Just keep a talon or verdict on your hip to quicktap med armour bugs.

>>720068542 (OP)
i absolutely love helldivers 2. probably in the top 5 for games for me

>>720098798
Because bots are a surprisingly well designed faction where most enemies have interesting counterplay options to them. Disarming devastators and hulks is just as much an option as going for head shots. Same for factory striders having weapon systems you can dismantle before shooting its belly. Every enemy bots have is something that allows you a lot of agency on how to deal with it.

>>720098593
>my data might be vulnerable on boot and the game might run like shit in 4k

This game runs on the discontinued Vermintide engine, and it's being worked on by swedes. It was going to run like shit regardless of the cope you spin.

>>720098903
It's the only multiplayer only game I've ever played that doesn't piss me off within 5 matches

>>720068542 (OP)
I haven't played in a couple months, and I feel like I still have to wait another year before getting back in it. I just OD'd on the game. 200 hours since launch will suck the fun out of anything.

>>720098860
Try running an smg and ballistic shield, works really well

>>720099048
same

>>720098639
Anon, you can kill so much shit with the Tenderizer, I don't understand how people "hate" some ARs, when light pen isn't a problem on regular bugs and the first variant, the only one the Tenderizer gets fucked over on is the new Rupture version since regular warriors now have medium armor on their faces.

>>720090305
Gamebryo was originally made for Dark age of Camelot , a fucking mmo

>>720099024
Did they fix bots so missile launcher tanks don't require line of sight from themselves to mortar your ass?

>>720098514
Orbitals are either very, very situational or they're "I don't give a fuck about being efficient I want things to die and big explosions to happen" and no between.

Think of Eagle strikes as being very safe and effective crowd control and Orbitals being slot machines. Most of the time Orbitals don't even go where you want them.

>>720099165
The tenderizer, libcarbine, adjudicator, and pacifier are the ARs I use with any consistency. The Tendies gimmick is 800 rpm setting and big ass bullets. Which can be helpful for gunning down a stalker predator asap, but I still think it could benefit from a bigger magazine like the LibCarbine gets. That thing is a fucking monster and it’s odd how they just powercrept the liberator like that. It’s objectively a better gun in every way despite being light pen as well. I know the pacifier is kind of…bad, but it looks cool and 3 seconds of stun can really be a life saver. Medium pen also means it kills those rupture fuckers when it’s not stunning them. The stun makes it a good team weapon at least, I’ve saved teammates with it before by just spraying into a crowd following some poor bastard.

>>720079365
This whole update has had the most amount of failed missions I have ever seen for this game so far. It is way too much shit being thrown at you and fuck the bootlickers that Arrowhead got that defend all this shit.

I really REALLY do not get why you need to fight a Dragonroach, Hivelord and try to do the objectives at the same time. The spectacle of the Hive Lord wore off when it became apparent it would be a constant threat than just a random special encounter.

The fuck was Arrowhead thinking with all this?

>>720099402
You don't have to defend the pacifier after seeing what it can do to stalkers

My liberator concussive doesn't work very well on rupture bugs and it makes me sad that I can't bring meme guns.

>>720099425
Didn't they remove the hive lord to rework it for a sec?
Why didn't they make it like a mission specific boss encounter?

>>720099425
They did go overboard, but it's kind of funny how this thread and some other places were continuously going "OOH SO EASY, POWERCREPT GEAR, YEAH IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE SUPER HELLDIVE JUST LOWER THE DIFFICULTY, BABIES"
and then this shit just swamps people with bugged bug spawns, the hive lord instantly destroying the mining rig with not a single thing you can do to prevent it, and the game basically deciding it wants to get all Payday 2 levels of dick punching but no one has any perks to stave off the insanity in a game where regular melee chaff can kill you in 2-3 hits.

>>720099391
Orbitals are great when you have loads of geometry that the Eagle bombs/droplets might run into, like I avoided using Eagle related stratagems on swamp planets and depending on what I'm fighting Mega City maps, that's usually restricted to 500kg since it consistently drops it by approaching from behind you. Orbitals tend to work great when you're closer to the center of the map. Also for the big orbitals you need to at minimum stay 60m from the targeting indicator even with maxed out ship modules reducing the 380's spread.

>>720099748
I’ve a newfound appreciation for turrets of most variety. Proper placement can have even a single machine gun turret holding off entire hordes of enemies by itself, and rocket turrets are great against armored targets with some adjacent benefits against hordes. Not the mortars though. Those can stay on the super destroyer for all missions but the defend silo missions.

>>720099857
Even EMS?

I keep feeling like my strategem choices stuck
I think last mission I did orbital laser, 500kg bomb, recoilless rifle, missile sentry

>>720099857
You can tell when you are failing a mission because not enough people brought turrets, its when you are dying to garbage whilst people are scrambling to pick up the pieces, they are the line holders between fubar and finishing missions

>>720099857
Mines are also great Area of Denial items, but only if you're defending a single location, but they somehow made the "extract civies" missions where the fuckers would go THE LONG way around to the shuttle door and that would tend to be where the enemy patrol spawns were dumping them.

>>720068542 (OP)
Built for human c-
Actually no, I give up....

>>720099957
Even EMS. Despite the upgrade to direct fire with mortar shots the delay between firing and landing means it still misses most targets. On bots….maybe, but a regular turret that shoots bullets will generally do better. Or take a shield generator. Those work just fine.

>>720099972
That's a perfectly fine loadout. Though you don't really need missile sentry if you have the RR. Strafing Run or Heavy Machinegun Turret would do you better if you have trouble clearing chaff.

>>720099972
I usually run Recoiless/Gatling/MG/Autocannon Sentry and carry gas grenades. Though for a few missions I tried running a fire build, which is worthless since somehow the damage it does to the burrowing fucks is reduced even if they caught fire before the dig in.

>>720100071
Yeah, I've noticed I really need a quick call crowd control strat
How quick does strafing run come in?

>>720100009
You ever done talking guns with your own turrets? It’s some real cool shit. Go Gatling and machine gun, bring your own hmg or machine gun and drop one, let it fire till empty, then drop the next and fire yours while it’s coming down. Reload as it’s shooting then send rounds down range when the second turret it empty. Impenetrable wall of lead, baby.

>>720100172
Like 2-3 seconds. It's one of the quickest, specifically made for a quick cut through groups of chaff.

>>720100041
Fuck anything involving the civvies in general. Defend missions are a pain because they take the most dangerous and exposed paths possible so that enemies are more likely to kill them, forcing a defense of the entire area so no stray shots ever hope to go flying in at them. And megacity missions are a pain because they will actively decide to run into a Hellbomb's radius or towards enemy forces just to make it more likely for you to kill them for a penalty. I have seen those fuckers ignore an area I was fighting in for several minutes, but the instant I set a hellbomb they rushed up staircase straight into the spot the hellbomb was right as I ran off so they could pointedly be as close as possible to the detonation.

>>720100172
>>720100223
It can also blow up fabricators, finish off titans and kill chargers and hulks on lucky runs and close holes
Nothing better than a x30 or higher feed on a perfect line up though

>>720100223
If you have another eagle strat, will it put them both on cool down if they have to rearm?

>>720100245
Eh, credits are pretty much the easiest thing to gather especially once you hit max ship modules and gun upgrading is so goddamn slow you can complete plenty of missions. So deducts are almost entirely pointless, the only negative thing is when the game thinks you're trying to kill civvies intentionally and decides to nuke your ass for it.

>>720099623
>>720099425
Hive lords/future bosses should either be their own mission objective or rolled into an "operation objective" that you whittle down between all 3 missions with its HP saved between them, granting a fat reward of samples/medals/maybe some SC (lmao) if you manage to kill it. The idea of operation objectives in general would incentivize players sticking around instead of dipping after every mission.

>>720100349
Yes. So either be very liberal with your application if eagle ordinance or just take one.

>>720069242
MF pulled a tom cruise

>>720100349
Yes. Each squad member has their own Eagle-1 to fire their shit, so even when you get a free 500kg from Command, if you use Eagle-1 for any other stratagem or rearm, you can't use the other Eagle related ones.

>>720100349
Yes. I don't have trouble using two, but just remember to use the eagle rearm when both are low, or one has run out during downtime.

>>720100409
You'd think guns and ordinance would be different but I understand why it's coded that way

>>720099651
It's very obvious that Arrowhead does not playtest their updates cause there's so much shit in here that should've been rooted out in that phase. I get the idea for burrowers cause they wanted to mix things up but why the fuck do spewers and chargers need to have variants for that?

I used to think burrowers operated on usual game logic where a digging enemy will follow you then surface after a bit. Nope, I've been followed for a good while by burrowing chargers/spewers/hunters without any surfacing unless I throw a gas/explosive or bait them into hitting me.

Helldivers has a bad trend of throwing the usual logic out the window for some damn reason.

I just dont like how some mission strategems get stuck on top of the cave systems.

>>720100559
It's even worse because of shit like host desync. If you're not the host, you can dodge burrowers when they get up from the ground. If you are the host, apparently fuck you, the attacks are undodgable because they come out so fast that they may as well be automatic hits, effectively making the host unable to fight burrowers without dragging them out the hard way or staying the fuck back.
This desync shit is something most other games have fixed, but it's everywhere in HD2.

>>720100679
That's because they have code to "help" prevent the indicator from hitting an overhanging piece. Doesn't matter if a turret has clear line of sight to ANYONE'S super destroyer.

does this game still have a completely awful armor system where only 1 or 2 types are actually useful and the rest shouldn't exist?

>>720100559
I think burrowers are mostly fine, but they need to get tired or have some delay when surfacing. Make the small ones stop at your feet and punish you when you don't move, and maybe make the chargers incapable of chasing but instead go in a fat straight line that flings you away if you get hit by the upheaved ground. The bile guys are fine as-is.

>>720100942
That Helldivers 2 has charging enemies that can turn on a dime already feels like sacrilege, but we’ve all just gotten used to them doing that.

>>720100924
yeah.

>>720101005
For regular chargers it makes sense I guess, they do so slowly and you can juke them which feels satisfying. Burrowers just going in a straight line and being more disruptive rather than actively trying to kill you makes more sense to me though.

>>720100924
well it's not for the same reason as launch (light was best because everything had the same armor value). instead, light is best because mobility is king. heavy armor is for certain mission types e.g. eradication which aren't on the current MO planet, and medium armor is a meme.

within light armor there's a lot more variety though since there's way more armor passives to choose from

Botdivers stay winning

>>720100924
I don't engage with it because I like the look of my armour and have never changed it once. I'm just lucky the passive isn't useless.

>>720101151
>within light armor there's a lot more variety though
its medic or siege ready for every armor type 99% of the game lets be real

>>720101151
I still like the look of certain mediums and heavies, so sometimes grab the jump/jet/warp pack to compensate for its crap movement speed. The Sardukar looking armor from dust devils looks damn good.

>>720069242
Fucking bullshit meanwhile every burrow warrior within a galactic mile descends onto my dick as soon as I start charging up my quasar

>>720101275
maybe if you're bad or use weapons with shit ammo economy. medic? seriously?
i don't think there even are light armors with medic, but i don't own every superstore armor. having said that, i do bring siege ready to oshaune because caves. most of the time i'm using scout, but i like the new passive a lot, and lots of people swear by peak physique which in my opinion is a crutch. with buffs the armor passives from unflinching & the ceremonial warbonds got better, etc.
>>720101343
i fucking love the warp pack. not enough to cripple myself with medium or heavy armor, though.

>>720101508
Well I don’t like light armors issue of a single miss play essentially equaling death so some wiggle room is appreciated.

>>720072535
>An Eagle never misses!

>>720099857
Turrets were meta for a while. I think underground enemies kind of fuck them but they were required for predator strains because you need something to keep the chaff distracted

>install big tiddy armor mods through the manager
>game runs fine for a few days
>suddenly game caps at a constant 15 fps
>now the pc is also slow as fuck to the point that a restart is needed
>troubleshoot by installing the mods one by one and running the game
>runs fine for a few mins THEN caps it again at 15fps while also slowing my whole pc
>uninstall all mods
>game now runs smooth
Is this because of gameguard self updating and detecting my mods or some shit?

>>720101508
>seriously?
yes, medic and siege ready are easily the most popular bonuses in the game, idk if you want to be contrarian, this game had literally nothing but light medic users from launch up until a few patches ago

>>720100942
This is also a bug with the host as well. Chargers can turn on a dime if you are the host, they are easy as fuck to dodge when you aren't.

Another great glitch, the Brood Commanders can charge and summon their warriors at the same time, sometimes not even playing an animation and just hard slide toward you. My favorite is the warriors that take a swipe as you run by them, then instantly 180 and do it again to hit you in the back. You can dodge hunter pounces and still get hit as they will just turn in mid attack a complete 180 as well.
Sometimes the enemies that can Melee get into a frenzy and just multi-attack you. Stalkers go from 2 swipe and pounce away to a 4-6 hit death combo and there's nothing you can do apart from getting lucky with a hit stun. Even if you dive away or toward them they just keep attacking. The Melee Overseers do the same on the illuminate fights too, they can literally combo you before you can get up.

This game is so good, yet it's so shit at the same time with all the fucking flaws. I hate fighting bugs and illuminate in this game as a host. It's just so fucking boring having to play it like a tac-shooter when everyone else can just run around like a fucking idiot.

>>720101724
any way you can lock the armor only to your followers/character?
that might help

>>720101726
ok, you are definitely full of shit, there is a singular light medic armor i do own it, but couldn't find it quickly because it has 64 armor instead of 50, and i literally cannot remember the last time i saw someone using it. impossible to miss too, it's hideous like the rest of the medic armors. quite frankly, the most popular armor for a given time period is whichever one just came out most recently. but the old classic suggested armor passives are peak physique, siege ready, fortified, democracy protects, extra padding, scout, and inflammable for DES.

>>720101729
host bias apparently fucks you on the burrow warriors too, i only host so i'm hesitant to agree since it kinda sounds like cope. but i do find myself having to bring explosive primaries to get them out before they get a chance to swipe at me, because a swipe is almost always a hit. not that i'm complaining, eruptor has been my favorite weapon since it came out

>>720101724
I'm using HD2Arsenal but things can be real weird some times. Purged my mods a bit to clean things up but I wouldn't be surprised if the game's got some real stupid shit somewhere.

>>720101951
I only host, but lately I've been getting my friend to host. This shit has been happening for months, I think when they retweaked the AI or when they fixed the fire bug (another glitch now is for team mates, fire only works properly if you are near the host, lovely.) I never had a problem with nids on Diff 10 forever. Oh, and another good host bug with the Brood Commander, the host can trigger multiple spawns, causing 4-8 warriors to magically appear instead of just 2.

Seriously, the more I play it, the more bugs I find. I've been playing this shit for 900 hours and it's just par the course. You can call it a cope, I got many recordings of bullshit happening so it doesn't matter. I really miss having fun with this game sometimes, now I just host it because people I know want to just play this because they refuse to branch out to other games until this is fixed.

>>720101951

okay, so you started playing like 3 months ago, light medic on bugs was used exclusively for a year straight on D9

>>720102387
Any of these from before the Gloom update without a patch accordingly? They might be fucking something up.

>>720102401
ok, so you started playing like 3 months ago, scout was used exclusively on D9 for months because avoiding encounters was #1 priority
not to mention, medic is a crutch skill, good players (the ones playing on launch helldive) don't need crutch skills. you are talking out of your ass. stop embarrassing yourself

>>720102484

>>720099425
>The fuck was Arrowhead thinking with all this?
They're taking a step back in the wrong direction toward the way they were over-tuning the balance at launch. They caught a ton of shit (rightfully so) at launch because every update was dragging the game down and over-tuning the difficulty by nerfing the weapons and buffing the enemies. They doubled down for a long time on this approach until there was enough backlash and people quitting the game that they were forced to finally make changes. I thought we were past this, but this update makes me worry that they still haven't quite learned their lesson.

>>720102735
>>720102796
You two didn't play at launch. I already knew that, you didn't have to convince me. We were weaker, enemies were stronger, even with their less variety. You didn't take every fight you ran into because you wouldn't win if you tried, it's not like today. That was a big part of the appeal at the time, which is why it took the swedes so long to start making the game easier.
Since you didn't play at launch, you have to understand your opinions aren't worth anything, you should stop offering them up. Or maybe you did, but not on high difficulties - same story, your opinion doesn't matter

>>720102792
>random bullshit happens to 1 of the 4 players due to shit code
>suddenly a bunch of spawned flying enemies that randomly 1 tap you with no warning from the sky, or one that can insta-fail a mission unless you spend 15-20 minutes fighting it. If you even have the right setup to fight it.
>glitches in the game that have been in since launch are still here, enemies hitting you through solid objects and phasing through terrain while not even being the new burrowing enemy
>ya man this is so fun

>>720102796
When the game is throwing countless armored, invincible bugs at you and you're armed with a nerf gun, running and avoiding encounters is the only option. This is, unfortunately, how the game was at launch as well

>>720102903
>we were weaker
>enemies were stronger
oh you mean when the railgun 2 shot everything even on safe mode? lmao another reveal

WHY DOES THE FLAMETHROWER STILL FUCKING SUCK? JESUS CHRIST MAKE IT HAVE A SMALL KNOCK BACK OR INTERUPT, IM TIRED OF FUCKING HUNTER FAGGOTS AND COMMANDERS JUST RUNNING THROUGH THE SPRAY JUST TO TAKE A FREE SWIPE AT ME BECAUSE OF THIS NEW FIRE DAMAGE SHIT TAKING FOREVER TO ALIGHT THEM.

FUCK BRING BACK THE FIRST FIRE FIX, IT WAS PERFECT.

>>720102880
I agree that we're probably going back cause maybe they think with the increase in players from xbox they've no longer got that danger to worry about. A bunch of new people who aren't privy to the BS from launch will be more willing to stick around through the shit especially from bootlickers constantly yelling IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THIS HARD, YOU JUST GOTTA ADAPT!

The biggest example to support this was during this update how people found out the Eagle strafing run can do decent damage against the Hive Lord. How does Arrowhead reply? They add some bullshit about eagle strikes now taking 30% longer to refuel. On a planet that already has call-in times and extraction times increased.

>>720102903
This isn't the same game as it was at launch, claiming that you're opinion based on outdated information is valid is also moot. The game as it is allows for more aggressive play on the part of the players thanks to buffs to gear and changes to enemy design to allow for more variety in weapon and stratagem loadout. Ergo the new enemies effectively take the game a step back to a time where the majority of the playerbase didn't enjoy the game. IE the one you seem to like where you avoid combat, skulk about with underpowered weaponry, and the hardest difficulty is only hard because you have significantly less viable tools to counter the threats on hand.

Why would you want to go back to that game?

>>720102934

That didn't matter because spawns were never ending.

>every weapon was shit except the railgun
>on D9, 10 bile titans spawned so you ran out of ammo in seconds anyway because some idiot decided to "mix things up" and bring a grenade launcher

lol

>>720103034
it didn't 2 shot chargers, anon. it stripped their leg armor in 2 shots so you could kill them within maybe 5 seconds with your primary weapon. that's a big difference. kids these days who started playing a few months ago (that would include you) don't even know the significance of a stripped charger leg anymore, it's a little sad.
it also didn't "two shot" tanks, it didn't two shot hulks (it one-shot them if your aim wasn't shit), it only "two shot" bile titans if you were playing crossplay.... etc.
PLEASE STOP POSTING. you are telling on yourself more and more with each post. it's getting hard to watch.

>>720103240
didn't this argument begin because you told on yourself needing extra stims all the time? even though i see medic armor on maybe one in every 50 people i play with? that was about the ratio i could find digging through old screenshots too of when you claim "everyone was doing it", and most of them weren't medic light like you said...

I ain't the shitter here.

>>720103389

>>720103373
>you told on yourself needing extra stims all the time?
where did I say I needed medic? I said 99% of players used light medic, are you literally making up headcanon cause you revealed that D9 wasnt possible without hiding? holy

>>720103113
>claiming that you're opinion based on outdated information is valid is also moot.
considering the individual i am arguing with is attempting to argue about the outdated time period, i would say yes, my 'outdated' opinion from the time period in question is actually very relevant. especially since, apparently, he (and, apparently, you) didn't actually play during this time.

i have to be honest with you, i don't care how much the "majority of the playerbase" enjoys the game, i care about how much my friends and I enjoy the game, because that's who i'm playing with. and when i'm not with them, i have never at any point in the game's history had any trouble filling up lobbies at (super) helldive. even during the darkest days, after railgun nerf, after EOF, during some of the most hated MOs, during the worst nerf streaks, you name it.

>>720103469
you wouldn't be suggesting it if you weren't using it as a crutch amigo. you also wouldn't be overestimating its popularity the way you are if you weren't surrounded by equally bad players, presumably on difficulty 7 or something like that.
you are making progress towards stopping embarrassing yourself, since you seem to have at least given up on your fanfiction about HD2's early days. sadly, those days were only a year and a half ago. this isn't like arguing with wrathbabbies about what vanilla WoW was like, i remember clear as day what launch HD2 was like because it wasn't even two years ago. insane that a new player would even try to argue that point

>>720103661
>you're suggesting it

i thought that was super lame because it would have made for some really cool moments were you and your bodies are positioned on higher ground and get surrounded by the swarm

>>720103759
okay
>>720101726
here is you suggesting medic is popular. it's not popular at high difficulties, and never really has been. even in the early days - not that you would know about those - you might see it on eradicate missions, but that was about it, and for lack of variety. the reason for this is that good players don't need crutches. good players don't suggest medic, because they know it's not used at high difficulties. since you suggested it, at first i thought you were just completely making something up, but the more you talk the more i realize you are a bad and quite probably new player who unironically uses medic, or at the very least, doesn't recognize medic for the crutch it is.
now with your most recent insipid post, you have not only revealed yourself as a poorly-skilled and new HD2 player, but also an insufferable /pol/ transplant. i will once again gently suggest you simply stop posting, you are doing irreparable self-harm with every sentence you type.

as a side note, i have no doubt they were cheating in the defense of Equality on Sea, but i let it slide for democracy's sake.

>>720104085
How does stop the OP from playing the game though? Who cares. If he is hosting or playing with friends, there's nothing to even think about here. Even if it slows the game down (which it does) it won't crash their computers or leak their info, that's just a bunch of shill misinfo bullshit. All the heresay did was stop people from playing a game.

>>720103525
I did, and quite frankly it was the worst time the game was in. Nothing worked particularly well, and when it did the devs would go out of their way to weaken it. Because the game they thought they were making and the one the players wanted to play were wildly different games. So just like you, I don't care how you enjoy the game. I care how I enjoy the game, and that means having tools at my disposal that actually do their intended roles in a way that's reliable, consistent, and not given to random chance or some esoteric equation the devs decided for this week. Having to walk forward while firing the EAT so it could actually have the strength to strip charger leg armor was a terrible time, and I'd rather not go back to it. Same for period where they decided all shrapnel should instantly reflect back to the firer if it hit an armor value it couldn't penetrate....all while the devs said this was for "realism". You can go back to jerking yourself off about how good you though. You seem to like doing that.

>>720104198
The only time chinese cheaters were based was during one of the "retrieve samples" order that got completed in an hour due to them.

>>720104201
you are suggesting (incorrectly) that medic is or was popular. it is a suggestion and not a statement because you were pulling it out of your ass, as evident by it being completely wrong.
consider this sentence:
>you wouldn't be suggesting it if you weren't using it as a crutch amigo.
"it" in this sentence is not literally suggesting the use of medic, but rather, suggesting the idea that medic is or was popular. someone with acceptable reading comprehension skills would understand this, given the process of this argument which has centered around that suggestion and how incorrect it is.

like before with the "you didn't play in the early days" thing, we already know you are an election tourist, you don't have to keep showing us.

>>720104312
Well, here's the fundamental difference. My idea of what the game should be aligned with what the dev's idea was at the time, which is why I was particularly enjoying it. It didn't align with what your ideas were, which is why you weren't enjoying it. There's nothing wrong with that. The good news is, we've got this shift in philosophy that's seen more buffs, more strong weapons, and more powerful Helldivers across the board, and I enjoy that version of the game too. I've liked this game at every point. It doesn't matter anyway, what you or I enjoy wasn't relevant to the argument I was having, I was merely exposing someone lying about their longevity in the game and throwing a jab your way in the process. You'll notice that person has since given up trying to claim they're an old head.

>>720072535
Reminds me of this.

>>720104537
I just want the devs to seriously look at the game and ask themselves if they even understand what it is they're making and if teeter tottering on 2 separate designs is even good for the game at all. All those major buffs and balance changes still feel like it was done through gritted teeth as they had to accept that what they were doing was actively harming the game and their ability to monetize it.

>>720104537
The reason you never saw anyone playing light medic in D9 is because you specifically played with a group of like-minded people who found it too difficulty and all wore scout to minmax the timer and avoid combat

>>720105029

>>720104871
that isn't unreasonable. i'm very fortunate to enjoy "this is brutally hard bordering on unfair" as well as "i am mowing down these robots and loving every second of it". they're different kinds of enjoyable to me. i come in to HD2 threads and tell people they were baddies getting filtered if they quit when the game was harder, but i don't seriously hold it against anyone if they stop playing a game they don't enjoy anymore.

my friends aren't always available since we live in different countries and time zones, /pol/-kun. during the D9 days basically always had one or two randos in there, and very often 3. still didn't see medic light, or medic at all that much. it was scout, democracy protects, extra 'nades, or explosive resistance, especially against bots for the latter. medic wasn't common, but you know what was? people avoiding fights. you don't need scout to do this of course, it just helps. it helps way more than 30% might suggest, i've always secretly suspected scout is stronger than listed.

>>720105309
no

>>720105342
The only time the game was truly hard was when a lot of the enemy attacks would 1-tap you like the rocket devastators.

Most of the "hard" in the game right now is because of shit randomly bugging out or the devs taking away agency from the players. That's not hard, it just feels forced and boring. It's like playing Street fighter with your idiot friend and then they decide you can longer block or use any kick attacks. It's challenging, sure, but I wouldn't call it exactly fun. It's just playing with a forced handicap.

>>720105342
Then it's not the brutally hard that people are having an issue with, it's the unfair part. Rupture enemies being nigh impossible to dodge if you're the host is unfair, or the Roaches fire animations and effects not lining up with its hit boxes, or for Hive Lords spawning directly underneath the mobile oil rig and failing the mission. There is no counter to stop that, it just happens and is unfair. No amount of difficulty will change if something feels unfair either by design or by accident.

>>720068542 (OP)
dragon roach isn't too bad compared to those fuckers tunneling underground and the fucking swarm lord.

My sound is absolutely fucked right now
Anyone else having ear raping audio stuttering issues that started this update?

>>720105957
I get it too, sometimes it triggers when I alt+tab

>>720105902
hive lord is a bit of a miss. feels like there's no point to fight him, unless it's a truck mission, then it feels like you have to. an extra secondary that doesn't penalize you for not doing it isn't worth the effort, unless it's a truck mission and he's going to force failure on the main objective. either way i don't feel like i'm fighting him because i want to.
he is cool, though. i want to like how much he fucks up the terrain, but that just makes fighting him even more miserable

>>720105957
only in caves, it gets pretty gnarly sometimes, but i don't experience it for more than 10-15 seconds at a time. maybe once per mission

So running away from everything is the meta now?
Gas grenade + jet backpack + stealth suit is the best loadout?

>>720107167
warp backpack, but, yeah, running is pretty important. always has been, welcome to super helldive
you can still get shit done while running. stim up and run right through that wall of bugs to close the stalker nest. be a man

>>720107167
I find that fire is very valuable in the caves since you can corral a hundred bugs to walk through the same tunnel, especially since the napalm launcher finally correctly implements the extra spicy napalm fire effect that does 200dps

>>720107167
I'm always running
>Spear to one shot mega nest + snipe the shrieker's nests because I don't want to take the ultimatum
>Guard dog (stop sleeping on it it blasts the fuck out of everything that isn't a charger)
>Free stratagem, I usually take EATs to deal with the occasional underground charger but maybe I could take something else, turret for flag missions
>the patriot mech because I like it better than autocannon
Then for weapons run either the coyote or the liberator penetrator if you don't have it (you pretty much kill everything that's not a charger by aiming for the head in like 5 shots), I take either depending on the mood so it's not a huge difference.
For secondary full volley bushwacker to headshot the alpha commanders, either the guard dog will kill it or you can finish it off with your main gun, they're pretty much non issues. You can also kill chargers by dodging their charge and blasting their ass twice, it'll pop it and it will bleed to death. A few point blank volleys also deals with impalers.
I make it out every oshaune mission with like 2 deaths The guard dog is fucking busted when in the tunnels but no one ever takes it. If you're afraid of it killing you don't be, it's a lot better at it than the rover version, in my 500h playtime it killed me maybe twice (and I always take guard dog on bots)

>>720103062
I cave dive diff 10s with heavy armour, bubble shield (it blocks melee), halo shotgun and flamethrower. Getting tagged through the fire every so often means nothing, I'll roast a whole tunnel of bugs with that setup no problem.

>>720108878
i call bullshit
flames take forever to kill the digger chargers

>>720109121
Call it all you like anon, just hold S and left click, aim a little down at the ground and wave the stream left and right to set the whole area ablaze. Shotgun knockback for escaping bad situations, talon or verdict for blatting those little med armour shits. Don't hold right click, you don't need the zoom and get a little more situational awareness zoomed out. It's how I get AoE without my destroyer overhead.

>>720109121
>>720109567
Also getting hit by a charger without being surprised by it first or stuck on terrain is a skill issue. You can dodge them just fine in heavy armour, and if your bubble shield is up you can survive a charge.

It is which makes it infuriating when it isn't.

>>720102735
Not that anon but back then the only consistent way of killing titans was throwing grenades at their mouths, the recoiles needed two headshots to kill them and chargers also tanked hits to the head so the only real way to win was not to fight anything, then the quasar canon got added and then people could finally start engaging again... or at the very least thats how i remember it because i cant think of a single player using the recoiles back then i remember that if you wanted to kill a charger or titan you had to use a 500 kg on your feet and let eagle take em down.

>>720114531
Why?

>>720114334
yes, credit farming is always done on haz1. subjectively, oshaune seems to have more super creddies in its POIs. but also, as he said, there's no bunkers on oshaune so warp pack isn't needed to clip through them

If you're fighting bugs, there's no choice but to secure a position or always keep running. The same shit happens with the meatballs and voteless for squids, and the berserkers for bots, but the rest of their arsenals are otherwise more supportive of more standard tug of war, though the higher you go up the difficulty the more likely the game will just drop immense shit on your head that forces you to fight like hell for a position or back the fuck off.
Really, there isn't much reason besides raw dakka to not be ready to run on a dime at the minimum for repositioning.

>>720069242
My wife
>>720083534
I swear i fought bile titans once when the update came out and never again

>>720100786
Yeah, some kind of fast explosive weapons is mandatory for host. And I still have to run heavy armor with supply pack 24/7 because you can't intercept them all and the stims tax is un-fucking-believable.

>>720116016
>It's a free roach kill with no effort so I'll take it.
you need it to face you for the headshot, at that point you might as well bring any other AT or Railcannon

>>720118117
based non-super-helldive bro? biles definitely pop out of bile titan holes which usually appear in underground mega nests (by which i mean i have had exactly one underground mega nest without a bile spawner, all the rest had them), this happens roaches or not.
now that i think on it, i've definitely had biles out of breaches on super helldive, but i'm not sure if that was on a hive lord mission or roach mission. of course, hive lords & roaches aren't exclusive anymore i don't even know if they were ever exclusive so who the frick knows.

>>720118301
now this is a bona fide skill issue. i also host, and while i will agree that explosive primary is near-mandatory, i get by just fine in light with my 4 stims. you most certainly can intercept very well near all of them unless you have the reaction time of a slug. prioritize them more if they are still hitting you. this was true even before i started running warp pack and now make a mockery of burrow warriors

>>720100924
If you're a metafag, sure. I just checked and there's 10 different armor passives I'm using depending on the mission. 4 of those I use more than the rest.
I rarely used heavy armor before, but now it became basically mandatory when I'm hosting diggers.

The fact that hivelords even appear on the mobile extraction vehicle mission just proves they don't test any of their content in real world scenarios (live mission with 1-4 people outside of a dev environment.)

>>720113437
It is "good" in the sense that you can play on whatever difficulty you like and get the results you want. If you want a chill-but-still-challenging game? Difficulty 6. If you want a balls-to-the-wall difficult mission where you have a 1 in 5 odds of completing the objective AND extracting? Difficulty 10 on Oshaune.

It's one of those very rare games where when everything is working correctly, it can be one of the most satisfying moments in your gaming history when you're being assaulted by a literal army of enemies and your only thought is "How the FUCK am I still alive?!" while your extraction vehicle is incoming to pick you up.

When everything is not running as it should (be it shitty code fucking things up, glitches getting you killed at the worst opportunities, or simply failing a mission because something spawned in an inaccessible place) then it can be the most infuriating game you've ever played because you could be doing everything 100% correctly as a player and still fail through no fault of your own.

But just as much as it can stress the player out, it can be a fucking boon to ones psyche when everything seems to be going wrong and SOMEHOW you still pull out a W.

Is it good? In my personal opinion, yes. $40 is very very little to spend on a game that I've put over 1100 hour into, and I have gotten some of my best games in my 20-year gaming career from it. I've also gotten some of my worst ones. It's all about how you, the player, take things in stride.

We all know nothing ever works correctly in this gods forsaken game because not only the engine is shit on itself, not only they don't know how to work with this engine, but they don't even bother to do fucking basic testing to make sure at least the most basic functionality that used to work for a year is not broken now.
Every good co-op horde game have these satisfying "How the FUCK am I still alive?!" moments, like L4D or DRG or WWZ, the problem is, in Helldivers when these moments DO happen, my only though is "holy shit I still can't believe how fucking good this game is when it's not shitting the bed, wish it happened more than once in a blue moon".

>>720090016

This isn't even that far out, since 20th Cent appears to be desperately trying to boost the Alien franchise in recent years. They're not above whoring it out for cameos.

Not enough people play a middle loadout to keep spam off the quad. Consider the railgun against max diff bugs because it one taps every medium and every burrower, fires fast and is laser accurate and you can use it overcharged against everything else in a pinch. Let your squadmates/turrets/mech deal with everything else.

>>720083270

>>720102792
Yep. It's much harder to pass with randos but if your squad has their shit together and has their eye on the chaos you can do fine. If there's dragonroaches and worms you need to go underground. You can weave them around obstacles and terrain/wear the right resist armor or just pull a mech and have enough ammo for two. The worm is crazy but you shouldn't be trying to kill it, it's a waste of time unless it's the obj. The amount of players who get autistically obsessed with spending 15 minutes wasting 8 reinforces trying to fight the worm with some dogshit weapon while the rest of the squad is busy killing the hive lung is nuts.

anything wrong with the game is less frustrating to me than half of the team just straight up quitting if reinforcements drop below 5
which doesn't even make sense to me because there's no penalty for failure and there's almost zero scenarios where it's truly impossible to finish unless you get bad RNG dragonroach spam

The worst feeling is going into a mission with a loadout, then running into that one (1) enemy that you have no answer for. But this is simply a user error on my end. I go into a bug mission thinking I'm invincible and then a patrol of shriekers show up and I'm like, oh....

>The same shit happens with the meatballs and voteless for squids
I find the city meta at d10 for squids is essentially going pure guerrilla warfare, open fights will get you killed, pick battles, move through alleyways, pick off high value targets as you can, and if big fights need to happen(flag or getting the cannon going) bring a ton of firepower.

Bring back the highlighted super destroyers.

The only reason that mechs finally seem like they have a place and hadn't before is because you can't throw stratagems from a mech in HD2 even thought you could in HD1. If you could throw an eagle strike or an orbital on the surface from with in your mech it would make it so you didn't have to waste all your ammo on a single enemy and then have a 10 minute cooldown. But you can't and having to leave your mech to call down reinforcements usually means you're fucked.

Also the 10 minute cooldown is ridiculous

It's been a year and a half and vehicles are still so goddamn glitchy. You're already limited on 3 per mission, just let me call it back down you stupid fucking devs if you can't fix your game

Part of the problem is that too many players are too stubborn to change their play style. Like 90% of the map could be underground, but you still having randos that come in with a bunch of eagles air strikes and orbitals barrages. Other part of the problem is since things are more dynamic you need to communicate, and either randoms don't have a mic or they don't even listen to others on a mic.

>>720131093
After days of grinding our balls against Oshaune, I took my friend to the Beach cause he's never done Illuminate before and we had a considerably more comfy time without dragons and hive lord bullshit.

>>720131093
Could be moving a lot faster in taking the planet if bugdivers weren't hogging the DSS when they were already taking the planet without it.

The "dragon" looks like a big moth. I'm not going to call it a dragon. Also fuck this invisible fire bullshit. It was a problem on the fire tornado levels, too. Just walking along a clear open field, then all of a sudden you're burning to death. The amount of glitches in this game is unreal. Would it kill them to maybe focus on fixing their game for a bit instead of cranking out warbonds?

>>720131995
I can't use in-game mic because the game automatically uses whatever device is your default communications device in windows. Additionally, the game causes Windows to lower the mic volume when you speak loudly (auto-gain) but it does not automatically raise the volume back up. The result is that after 3 seconds of speaking, nobody can hear me because my mic is down to 50% volume.
The only workaround is to set my default communications device to my webcam/etc. and tell discord to use my boom mic specifically.

It only happens in HD2 and it's a well documented bug but the devs have seemingly ignored it for many months.

They made this small change to fire where if you step in it slightly, you won't be fully engulfed in flames. I really like that change

>>720132969

My lore autism makes me think the dragon shouldn't have fire. Bugs are basically made of oil in the universe. That's why fire is effective against them. The dragon should catch its own self on fire. Seems kind of overtuned for it to be both acid and fire for no real reason either. Not like bile titans breath fire.

>>720134761
>dragon shouldn't have fire

>>720134941
They could have called it anything, you absolute retard.

>>720135028

It's green, so yeah it's acid. But is also catches fire because...?

I guess there's finally a reason for me not to use the Cookout anymore now that I need something with more penetration.

>>720135383
It wasn't called dragon when it was born by his mommy bug. They don't call themselves dragons because they're not sentient enough for such a concept. Super Earth called it a dragon because it flies and spews fire. That's it. Not because it has/misses scales or because it's bipedal/quadrupedal or because it's a homosexual who wear diapers and fucks little helldivers.

>>720135920
At least you're starting to think along the lines of my original point. In universe the bugs are all vulnerable to fire because they are made out of E711 oil or whatever. This bug should be catching itself on fire. It's contradictory design. You're just autistically caught up on the name for some reason and can't think abstractly I guess.

>>720134761
Technically the bugs aren't made out of oil, they just rapid decompose into it when they die. Fire is effective against them the same reason it's effective against the other two groups.

>>720136410
Fire is not effective against bots for sure. Haven't really tried it against illuminate, though I suppose vs the voteless it might be good.

>>720136596
>Fire is not effective against bots for sure.
What? Napalm and fire sentries absolutely fuck them. The only reason flamethrowers aren't useful is because of range, hell most incendiary weapons actually fuck the bots hard because fire damage is armor piercing. Tanks and hulks will go down the crisper if you can get in close.

>>720136596
>Fire is not effective against bots for sure.
Dude fire is anti-tank, it's actually one of the best weapons against the bots.

>>720136754
>Napalm and fire sentries absolutely fuck them.
Not compared to rocket sentries and real barrages. I never said fire was useless, either, vs them. But you got to do some real mental gymnastic to pretend that fire is what you should bring vs bots instead of other penetrating choices.

>>720136220
For the worm you focus hellbombs and heavy AT on the lowest belly plate until it's broken, then fire absolutely everything at the unarmored inner flesh because it deals 100% damage to main health. Focus on explosives even after the armor breaks since every part of it naturally has 100% durability so small arms are gimped.

It 100% is baka desu sempai. If you can get close and not get raped in process, flamethrower melts any bot.

>>720136754
>fire sentries absolutely fuck them.
>flamethrowers aren't useful is because of range
Kind of funny having these two sentences back to back. Fire sentries aren't really useful because of range either. Especially compared to rockets and autocanon sentries. You're gimping yourself by bringing these, but honestly the game isn't so hard with bots that you need to minmax. At least for now, hopefully they bring some diffiiculty update like the bugs got.

>>720136958
>Not compared to rocket sentries and real barrages.
Yeah but you could also say the same for bugs, those are far better counters to chargers and bile titans compared to napalm and flame sentries.

>>720137197
Yes, flamethrower sentry is just not good so it's just weird bringing it up like its some kick as thing against bots when it's not.

i still use it but that fucker has a mind of its own

Patiently waiting for them to whip out the original music for fighting the cyborgs at 9+ when they do the Cyberstan arc.

>Would it kill them to maybe focus on fixing their game for a bit instead of cranking out warbonds?
Snoy is standing behind them with a gun to their head saying "print money faster", so yeah probably.

>>720068542 (OP)
He is annoying because he is basically a Vile Titan with none of its weaknesses but the real problem is the combination of "fuck you" modifiers. The odd increase in spawn rates since the weekend, burrowed warriors lunge attack, burrowed warriors not curling like regular warriors when being shot at, viles spewers became even more of a pain and again since the boosted spawns of the weekend, you cant go a mission without the Hive Lord making walking outside a fucking chore.

is the laser turret any good?

>>720137657
You'd think snoy would learn after their last 2 attempts of forcing line-go-up nearly killed the game both times.

>>720137781
It's problem is that it overheats itself to death. If it catches on a heavy then it's pretty much going to blow up, especially if it had already been firing before that. It should have a battery reload like regular enemy weapons.

>>720137976
>egular enemy weapons.

>>720138153
Are u the dude who runs around in stim armor 24/7 and crashes as soon as we dive? also known as "local man cant stop crashing"?

>>720084602
Yes, and we completed the mission too

>>720132969
I didn't realize they did this. Honestly it was too comical how easy it was to catch yourself on fire, and it really ruined the flamethrower for even the bugs since you would catch a bug on fire, it would jump at you before it died, touch you for half a second, then you're also caught on fire. And when that happens you have to dive and heal which means the bugs are breaking through and now you're in shit. And having to bring in a specific armor just for anti fire is pretty drastic when most weapons don't need it and all it does it makes it so you don't kill yourself.

do people here actually believe maining warp pack and just running away is the best strat?

please tell you guys are at least using napalm barrage
>best strat since release
i can see retards reaching this conclusion on this update, but no, it was always a shit strat lmao

>>720088002
I thought this was gonna be the case too but then I had back-to-back truck missions where the Hive Lord slammed the truck in the first one and a Burrow Charger flipped the truck in the second

>>720069782
The worst thing is went you suddenly see your healthbar drop for no visible reason then get set on fire and only then see the greenfire coming from the scar.
Their is a weird shit with the flamme hitbox.

>>720139249
>Hive Lord slammed the truck in the first one and a Burrow Charger flipped the truck in the second
These plus I've had the truck just get stuck on a random rock that wasn't even that big. The easy solution would be to let the players recall in another truck (maybe have it on cool down). I think having objectives you can'completely fail isn't a bad idea (hd1 did this though people would purposefully fail them to finish missions quicker sometimes). But it needs give the player a fighting chance if that's the case.

>bug doesn't spray fire
>YOU SEE BUGS SPRAY FIRE!

>>720136204
You do know how insects that shit corrosives work right? Pro tip- the chemicals are not stored in the same resivoirs prior to being sprayed out because, surprise, mixing them is what causes them to ignite.
You sound like a seething underage little baby so I'll explain with a science experiment you can do at home, just make sure you ask mommy or daddy first.
Take some baking soda, put it in a glass. Is it reacting? No. Now take some vinegar and put it in another glass. Does it seem to be bubbling and churning? No? That's because it is stable on its own.
Now put the baking soda in the vinegar. Wow! Did you see that? It bubbled over!
This is called a "chemical reaction", this one is fairly safe but look out because some chemical reactions can light on fire or produce corrosive substances! You can find that out too by mixing some bleach and ammonia in your toilet! Why don't you give it a try? Be sure to get a nice big whiff of the fumes to really appreciate the science you are doing!

>>720140598
Are you a women? Just the way you type so sarcastically, you sound like a little bitch.

>>720139591
Its worse when you get a bleeding chest wound, stim and yet the bleeding continues without you noticing until the critical health sound starts.

Here's another science experiment for you, faggot. Go take some wood stain, soak some rags in it, and pile the rags up in your house. You'll find out firsthand how chemical reactions can do funny things.

This thing should be a guaranteed instakill on basically anything in the game, it's a metal rod fired from a railgun from orbit, anything hit by this should be turned into mist or have a truck sized hole blown into it, maybe not the Hivelord but it should be able to tank like 3 or 4 hits of this at best.
Would be a good justification for the cooldown too.

PSA: If you don't want Randoms to join your match, put your shit on private, dumb fucks.

>>720142067
i like low level randoms joining my matches. it spices things up

>>720068542 (OP)
The joke would be appropriate if the image was of the balancing team. They can do whatever the fuck they want i will still not go back to the game no matter how much i enjoyed it at first. Fuck them and fuck their friends at Fatshark

>>720142067
>accidentally drop SOS shitter because it's one input away from the most important stratagem in the game
>game ignores "Private" now because swiggers, and you're stuck with kicking randoms till the end of the mission

>>720142067
Random low level xbox players are more of the problem. It's kind of funny this difficulty patch was released with the xbox players.
