Why did they nerf the Arc Thrower so much? I used to go to town with this thing and felt unstoppable anytime a hulk or charger came at me. Now it's practically a low-tier weapon.

>>720314591 (OP)
>Unlock and use it against bots, think I'm unbeatable
>use it against predator strain bugs and get absolutely FUCKED
back to the flamethrower I guess!

this weapon is so good that there's no reason to pick any other primary, it's better than most support weapons too

>>720314591 (OP)
whats the canon reason for the SEAF not using AP rounds in every fucking guns considering 2/3 of their enemies are heavily armored

>>720319145
What's are good sub weapon to go with it/cover it? I was using standard pistol and socom

>>720319393
Eruptor
Grenade pistol
AT grenades
Airburst rocket
Orbital Napalm Strike
500 bomb
Mortar sentry

>>720319386

none, AH are just fucking hacks that can't balance a game for shit.

>>720317819
A gun that feels this utterly limp and unsatisfying to use and fire should be nothing but utter dogshit, IMO

autocannon, my beloved

I will never use it just because that bolt is in a retarded place. Fucking noguns retard faggots picking the dumbest shit as their favorite guns.

>>720317810
And now you have to reload that one too.

>>720317275
Thankfully no enemies are entirely covered in heavy armor

>>720319386
Because the SEAF isn't meant to win, they're meant to bleed off excess population in a manageable way.

Never used the Erupter before this recent update for the guns and I seriously can't fight them with anything else now.

>>720319386
SEAF is for fighting people.

For me, it's the Epoch

>>720319529
Explain me how to use the airburst

>>720323109
L-lewd...

For me, it's Diligence CS (on bots)

>>720319393
w/e secondary desu proly the laser revolver or grenade
Thermite grenade
Stalwart (your real primary for bugs/squids)
Supply Pack
Whatever you like
Whatever you like

I'm still gonna use the Coyote when it gets nerfed because I love AKs

>>720319386
I'm sure the average seaf grunt NPC has medium pen because I've seen a group of light up devastators and hive guard

>>720323190
You can't even see the bolt, Dunning Krueger

for a second i thought this was a planetside post and that was some NC gun.

where the FUCK is planetside 3?

What's your dragon-hunting loadout?

>>720326996
Same, I've already used the Adjudicator a bunch in the past

>>720318185
Guerilla Gorilla should have had the scout perk

>>720327213
Rocket Turret, or Spear if I feel like it. EATs have not been as reliable against them as they are their more terrestrial brothers. I kind of want to test the Airburst Rocket Launcher cluster variant on them after finding out their only heavy 4 armor...but knowing Arrowhead, it'll probably just miss with 90% of the bomblets and make it bug out with the physics.

>>720327213
Orbital Railcannon
anything else is a waste of time

>>720327272
It should've had extra padding instead. Only the bomb disposal armor has it, I like not dying but it's a little boring

>>720327213
same as everything else

>>720327910
>2 launchers with 1 shot and not 1 launcher with 2 shots
Shan't get over it

>>720325389
Airburst is just a shoulder-fired clusterbomb.

Aim it at a large group of light to medium armored enemies, fire, and watch them all die. Just be mindful that the radius of all the bomblets is anywhere between 10-25 meters wide depending on where the airburst exploded from, so stay far away from it, and do not shoot it near any team mates.

Eruptor is a buggy piece of shit
>character will just stop reloading for no reason and require tapping reload 2 more times for him o actually change the mag
>Character will randomly decide to not chamber the next round
>shoot the gun and then take splash dmg a full second after despite being away from the bullet impact
no other gun griefs me this much

>>720328431
this
exploding crossbow is way more consistent in my experience

>>720328145
Also depends on the mode of fire as well. Flak can be fired just above a group of enemies and the flak will kill everything in a roughly 20m radius. Great for long range targets and flying ones...except the Roach. Cluster is good for close to medium range, but is the one you will likely kill yourself and teammates with. It can however kill heavy armor targets if you aim the shot just beneath them so the bomblets hit their juicy underside.

>>720328791
Yeah, regardless of fire-mode the Airburst does exactly Jack and Shit to Roaches

>>720324525
but it takes a literal second to reload, unlike the eruptor's full year

Hitting a bile titan/roach in the face for a one shot gives me a huge dopamine hit

What's your dream weapon to be put into the game?
For me it's picrel

Why is the bolt on the front and not only that, why is it on that side

>>720326607
1.5 sight and an angled grip makes it pretty sweet to shoot

>>720328634
Exploding Crossbow + Stalwart is seggs

>>720329306
a version of the escalator which swaps out its arc for higher damage and heavy pen or an M79 with Anti-Tank

>>720329306
a medium pen pump shotgun that doesn't suck and fuck

>like the Grenadier Battlement
>it always deploys looking somewhere random
is there a trick to this thing? shit isn't consistent

>>720331056
The direction of the battlement will correspond to the angle from which you threw it.
This isn't true on the hive world planets for swedish code reasons.

im waiting for bots to get some content

>>720317362
Cuckout got nerfed hard with the new way how enemies receive fire damage + you need to be host for fire damage to matter. Miss being able to shoot a Hiveguard and let the fire damage kill it. Now it's like they're fireproof.

>>720331975
>You need to be host for fire damage to matter
This was fixed like 6 months ago

>>720331382
>This isn't true on the hive world planets for swedish code reasons.
god fucking dammit you swedes

>>720331975
Bruh you are incredibly behind the curve

>>720331056
Yes, a buddy that uses it says it doesn't face the right direction lately.

I have 1,000 super credits, which warbound should I buy?

>>720333662
democratic detonations

>>720333662
demolition is the single best one
thermite and the grenade pistol alone are such good utility but you also get 2 great primaries and an okay one

>Scorcher
>Talon
>Quasar
>Supply Pack
>Gas Grenades
Yep, it's "handle every single situation with one loadout" time.

>>720329306
>>720330304
>Giant, medium - heavy armor piercing shotgun
>clears the screen of everything in front of you
>switch fire modes between duckbill spread or choke
>few shots in a magazine, low mag count
>but just utterly mangles anything in your way

HMG my raifu

Only the torcher can I drop in with I know: I am safe and will kill everything

>>720319529
>Eruptor
>Grenade pistol
Retarded loadout. GP is only good for clearing hives/fabs, and eruptor can do the same, redundant. Use a medpen pistol for when shit gets too close for eruptor splash self-kill.

>>720334516
Including room temperature IQ teammates who for whatever reason see you spewing fire and decide that that is the place they need to be close to.

>>720334516
I think the only direct things that fuck up flamethrower are illuminate harvesters and stingrays, which hopefully you have a backup support weapon
>>720334615
EVERYTHING

>>720319529
Dumbest fucking eruptor loadout I've ever seen. No reason whatsoever to run the GP if you have eruptor or crossbow. Mortar sentry is shit on bugs, airburst rocket is bad and redundant as well with Eruptor. An actual good Eruptor build would be this.

I haven't played since the the illuminate were first added in. The Eruptor used to be absolute trash compared to the Explosive Crossbow which was effectively the same but better in every way. Did they change that at some point?

>>720334912
they buffed it at some point, now they're too afraid to nerf anything

>>720334829
Eagle 500Kg is so fucking mid. Eagle strafe is so much better it's not even funny.
You can easily instakill dragonroaches with the strafe, just wait for them to do the first pass and then they stand still long enough for the eagle run to instakill them.

>>720335015
You bring 500kg to destroy objectives and bile titan holes, so you don't have to waste ultimatum rounds on it.

>>720334982
Can I get a TLDR of what they buffed about it please?

>>720335585
Heavy pen, big damage, shrapnel, attachment options that make the handling good.

what can i replace to improve my solo bot loadout
>r-63 diligence
>talon
>gas grenades
>500kg
>rocket sentry
>shield generator relay
>railgun

THIS is my problem solver.

>>720335684
Deadeye all day, every day.

>No Rumbler
AH gargle cocks and so do the rest of you

How can people still play this? It's so boring.

>>720335684
Use counter sniper w/ a good scope, quasar, double smoke, jetpack and scout armor. Try not to fight.

>>720327213
fire resist armor and orbital railcannon
when the orbital railcannon is down i just ignore him

>>720333662
If you're brand new, then Democratic Detonations, as people have said. After that, it just comes down to what faction you like fighting. However, Force of Law is pure shit.

>>720331789
literally soon

we're also getting factory cyberborg worlds

>>720314591 (OP)
It's just too slow and cumbersome. The Jar-5 Dominator is more my style.

>>720317810
I wish the sights looked cooler.
>lmao he uses first-pe-
I didn't say that. I said I wish the gun looked cooler.

>>720317275
The projectile does
The shrapnel doesn't.

For me? It's the Constitution. All factions, all sub-factions.

>>720336005
fuck yeah. Can't wait until they become cracked like back in the day lol

>>720327213
I like the wasp, you can take down 2 by yourself without needing resupply, and its piss easy to use.

>>720335684
Senator so you can dunk on Hulks

post you are drip

>>720334829
>Reduced recoil build with weapons where recoil is not an inhibiting factor.
This aint it, diving bro

>>720339797
It's for +2 thermites, lil bro.

>>720339797
Its for the grenades, the recoil is useless to focus on regardless.
>have to crouch to get its benefit
Youll rarely do this when you actually need to shoot.

>>720314591 (OP)
Best gun for best girl

>>720336310
Isn't it the other way around? You can put round after round into a Hulk's front and it will do nothing but fissile, but bank shrapnel off a nearby rock and it will damage

Have they fix the god awful performance from the latest patch?

>>720340998
lmao

>Coyote
>Orbital Gas Strike
>Gas nades
>Harpoon launcher
>"Guard Dog" Dog Breath
Shuts down bugs and squids with ease.

>>720340763
Nope, it 2shots the eye on direct hits because the eye has surprisingly low durability.

>>720341461
also
>EAT napalm
I'm able to hold back bug breaches with all of that shit

>>720341472
Well it never works for me. At least the HMG exists

>>720314591 (OP)
I actually like the stun lance and shield. They need to do something about the swinging melee weapons, they have no range at all for how little damage they do, at least the lance can aim at weak points, even the new machete is way too slow for how weak it is.

>>720333070
>>720332093
>this was fixed like 6 months ago
And was reintroduced. Go test it out. All status effects are fucked AGAIN!

>>720331975
>+ you need to be host for fire damage to matter.
You're a year behind the rest of us, update your game.

>>720335684
>Double-edge Sickle
>Ultimatum
>Eagle Strike
>380mm
>Recoiless Rocket
>AT Emplacement

Snipe Outposts with the AT emplacement
Wipe out hard targets/Fortresses with the 380 and mop up whatever is left with an eagle strike or 2
RR for the errant Hulk or War/Factory Strider
Ultimatum for those "oh shit" moments
DE Sickle has the accuracy to pop bot heads at 200m with relative ease as well as clear out chaff with the added benefit of being able to melt anything out there with Flameproof armor (but those instances are rare)

With this setup, I can walk into bot bases and clean up the area solo with little to no hardships unless I get unlucky with a shot to my own dome. But with the DE Sickle firing as much as is needed, it decreases the accuracy of the bots to the point where I fear nothing waltzing through a Fortress once I've softened it up.

And if push ever comes to shove and I get stuck between a rock and a hard place? 380 my own position and roll those dice. If I die, I die.

>>720334829
Yeah you really can't run the eruptor with anything but some sort of MG and against bugs it's just asking to get SHRAPNEL'D
Still love it against bots though.
For bugs I love taking the napalm orbital, dropping it on a couple bug breaches and just watching your kill count skyrocket hits the dopamine receptors SO fucking well

>>720335838
The Solo Silo is basically a Rumbler, just without the Toxin.

As far as I know, it's got the same damage profile as a hellbomb, it's just strapped onto a missile.

>>720341850
I wish the 380 wasn't such dog shit. Would use it every single mission.

>>720341989
You don't use it to destroy, you use it to soften up shit. If it makes a direct hit on a Fabricator, all the better. Couldn't care less if it doesn't destroy Factory Striders, Hulks, or War Striders. That's what the RR is for.

Helldivers reporting to the front!

>>720319145
Its better than the epoch for sure

>>720342954
I need more oil

Is there still a way to grind SC

>>720314591 (OP)
think Ill try this on the squids, the coyote is just okay at them, really shines on the bugs

>>720341785
Yep lmao retards don't even realize that they bugged it with the law enforcement warbond AGAIN. Fire effects have been bugged since the retarded stun AR was added since it broke something in the game's code again.

sex

>>720340641
If only this wasnt a mod and there were jiggle effects every time she fired.. the game would me so much better.

>>720341629
That's because the Hulk's eye hitbox is ridiculously small. It's not enough to hit the little convex box the red eye of the hulk is on. You have to hit the red of the eye itself, it's stupid.

God DAMN solo evacuate high value assets on illuminate is aids. Just harvesters instantly destroying everything, flying overseers peppering you and the machines and 50 fleshmobs

>>720345284
Your gas/incin mines and HMG emplacement?

>get 1000 SC
>wonder what warbond to get
>its all mediocre dogshit
>Control is only good for the warp pack to farm more SC
>Dust Devils is only good for the Coyote but it will be nerfed cause apparently these devs are braindead
Soooo wtf do i do with this useless currency??

>>720336005
I hope they have indoor areas

>>720346335
Get the anti-tank emplacement if you haven't already

>>720329507
Yeah, the module update really made this thing worthwhile. One-shotting grunts and headshotting devastators, that feels lovely.

>>720346335
You're underrating dust devils super hard, the napalm is very good and rapes dragons, the solo silo has a decent niche, and the armor passive is pretty good + dune larp

>>720346335
give it to me, i'll use it

>>720314591 (OP)
i might erupt this evening

>>720346115
I dont like Hmg emplacement, it always gets taken out by harvester beams. I was doing gas mines, lightning rod, gatling & spear

>>720348674
Are you not targeting the upper leg weakspot? HMG emplacement will kill a harvester from full shield in like 2 seconds.

>>720327213
All you need is two clean shots and the fucker is falling out of the sky like a sack of wet shit

>>720349135
>needing two

>>720349176
I don't do "expendable" Recoiless stays on my back all mission long

>>720349273
just take both, that's what I've been doing with the free one all day
>Recoilless for chargers and titans
>Napalm for bug breaches and dragons and impalers

>>720317506
>bile titans
On your own? how?

>>720327410
But you get 1 use every 10 hours. Meanwhile you get 1 dragon very minute

>>720349273
Expendable is nice because it frees up the backpack slot.
Sometimes I like to run an ammo hungry primary like the scorcher with the supply backpack, and then an expendable like the commando for situational use.

>>720331243
AC is so good even the bugs had to stop to admire it

>>720331243
>Q1 plinking with his ass primary

is this your best co-op game, hellsissies?

>>720350739
Ever since the big player influx I've been getting tons of lobbies of retards on D10 that don't understand that splitting up just means everyone gets mobbed by 4x the bugs and that if we stuck together we could blow through the map in half the time. And mongoloids that run ahead, call in the flag, and then die immediately leaving everyone else with a bug fuckfest to deal with.
