>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?
HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC and PS5 where players fight against hordes of alien insects, robots and squids to Spread Democracy. Players wage war on a number of contested planets, each with a different environment, completing as many objectives as possible within a procedurally generated area while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful operations a planet can be completely liberated, and the player base must cooperate to try to liberate the entire galaxy by focusing and combining their efforts as much as possible.

>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?
Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is the origin of the setting and basic gameplay formula of HELLDIVERS 2. The major difference is that HELLDIVERS is a top-down shooter, its mechanics being based primarily on Arrowhead's first game Magicka.

>You need to kill Leviathans because... you just need to ok?!?!

squids are a boring faction and also there's leviathans sometimes

D10 Lobby decides

The leviathan is the worst enemy ever introduced and the recent balancing change is arguably worse than it was before. No amount of samefagging or hilarious baiting will change this simple fact.

>>527838820 #
HMG is useless on illuminate since the MMG is literally just as good or better against them in all categories. Now, if we were comparing the Stalwart to the other two, that is where a lot of compromises are made just so you can mobile reload.

>>527841815
The leviathan would at least be ok if it had more of a cooldown before respawning.

They REALLY need to buff the ergonomic on the HMG

>>527842835
Honestly I kinda wish the game forced team work more often. Like people shouldnt' be able to play on diff 10 and just clear without proper comp. But I have no idea how the fuck you'd balance that.

>>527841847
sorry but HMG does nearly triple the damage against medium armour targets. The MMG just feels anemic shooting overseers and harvesters

>>527842025
>filename
kek

I like the vibe of the illuminate cities. It really gives the feel of an alien environment or a city under occupation. My favorite part is how much more war-torn it feels compared to Super Earth, with more rubble and scenes of fighting. It's like it was a long and drawn out fight where the humans resisted to the last.

>>527843071
They need to honestly buff support weapons, keep their ergos shit and up their reload time.
Because honestly doesn't feel like I'm really doing much more with the HMG outside occassionally sniping hulks.

Feels like most support weapons just fall into 2 categories.
>Use it all the time and make your build enable the fuck out of it with supply pack
or
>Use it to kill heavies whenever they show up

>>527843071
or you could wear peak physique

>>527843216
yeah that's what I was hoping with the bug cities.

>>527843354
I don't really have issues either, but support weapons feel kinda like just punched up primaries with bigger magazine sizes or AP.

I think the primaries and secondaries are in a good spot. But it'd be nice if support weapons had a stronger identity to them.
Like the new grenade launcher works great for that. You have really REALLY powerful alpha and need to take your time reloading the gun.

>>527843502
>angry retard demands more buffs for already strong weapons

KYS you faggot redditor.

>>527843551
>I don't really have issues either, but support weapons feel kinda like just punched up primaries with bigger magazine sizes or AP.
What more do they need to be? And the only reason that support weapons lost their "identity" is because how of weak they made all the enemies thus allowing many support weapons to overlap.

>play for the first time today

>Fixed Borderline Justice armours to be more accurate to their stats, e.g. slight improvement to draw speed, etc.
this has to be intentional and just a bad joke, right
how do you manage to push an update that breaks the one thing you tried to "fix" even worse

>>527843502
Lower the difficulty.

>>527843740
>What more do they need to be?
Have stronger weaknesses that get complimented by primaries, while also feeling godly when you get in the right position and unload them.

They almost feel like that, but they don't feel rewarding enough typically. They mostly just feel like a tool I bring "because I need something to kill x". Like I bring HMG on bots solely so I have a hulk killer, not because I want to get in a good position and unload into bots with it. (because it fucking sucks at that due to shield devs and the low ass durable damage it has).

>>527843154
NTA but the HMG also has awful recoil and ergo, meaning you are much more likely to miss those 3x more powerful shots, particularly on the overseers, that are small & move fast(flying ones especially).
The HMG also has nearly half the magazine size and only two thirds of the total ammo reserve of the MMG.
The MMG is only "anemic" against overseers if you fuck up and keep firing on different armor pieces. if you break the armor of a single piece and focus fire, you'd be hitting unarmored, soft squid flesh, at which point medium or heavy pen have no difference.
The only enemy the HMG can reliably outperform the MMG against on the squid front is the fleshmob.

>Democracy Officer caught you having gay sex with Pelican-1
Helldiver, non-procreational coitus is permissible under regulations. However, wasting precious bodily essence in the pursuit of personal pleasure is vanity. Now more than ever, we must all do our duty to repopulate Super Earth. Think on it.

>>527844429
>NTA but the HMG also has awful recoil and ergo,
wear PP armour and crouch.prone when shooting, problems solved
I usually run the HMG but recently been trying the MMG and fuck it feels awful compared to what I'm used to. even with the extra mag form siege ready it felt like I had to reload so much more often and ran through more ammo than I ever did with the HMG

>>527844014
If you play D9, lower your tone when talking to me.

>>527843071
Use Peak Physique
Tf is that complaint, it's a fucking HMG, it's a miracle you can carry it around while shooting it

>>527841815
The leviathan is great in mega cities where you have loads of cover. Any other map and they're dogshit

>>527844429
Crouch or prone when you shoot the HMG. I shouldn't have to tell you this.

>>527844581
Do you tap fire the HMG more, or do bursts? Either way it just feels awful to waste HMG ammo on any voteless that you have to clear away while you are shooting more valuable targets.

How many pajeets do you think are working at AH?

>>527844897
Well, how many employees are at AH?

HMG is only viable on tyranids.
Only faction you can actually unload that gun and feel like you're dumping hot loads into something that will take them right.

Until they drop shield dev shields to ap4 there is no fucking reason to bring it to bots, and I can barely imagine trying to reload the HMG on illuminate.

>>527843071
No its fine as is, its not meant to be used as a run n gun type weapon otherwise it would be OP and there would be no point in running Stalwart or MG

>>527844868
short controlled bursts at medium RPM. I'm not one of those 450 RPM single shot cowards. and against small and medium voteless the HMG hits the breakpoint to take out their torso in one shot, and if there really are a lot of voteless that's what my saber is for, which is a voteless blender thanks to the bonus damage from the peak physique armour I'm wearing to buff the ergos on the HMG

>>527845065
>stalwart
>laser gun with zero recoil that nukes chaff like a machine
>MG

It's not even the ergo it's the shitty recoil. Thing feels like a melee weapon.

>>527845048
>tyranids
DARKTROONS GET. THE. FUCK. OUT.

I find it absolutely wild that after all this time, there are people who are STILL filtered by heavy dev shields. Who are these people? Are they actual NPC's? Are these people upset because they're dying to heavy devs? Or are they upset because the heavy dev inconveniences them for just a mere moment? I hate retarded normie niggers so much, that they give me head aches

>>527845342
I've called them nids for such a long time, I stared at tyranids before making that post and I was like... "that doesn't make sense. Is that their name?"

Hell I honestly couldn't tell you there name off the top of my head, I just call them bugs.

>>527844581
>wear this specific armor (which is ugly as sin btw) to make the weapon work
Or I can use the MMG and wear any armor I want/like.
>Prone when shooting
Going prone is pretty bad in this game. You become too slow, your aiming becomes limited and jank terrain & corpses much more easily block your shots.
>even with the extra mag form siege ready it felt like I had to reload so much more often
Both weapons can fire for similar amounts of time before reloading, assuming you're at default RPM (10s HMG, 13.8s MMG), and as previously mentioned you are very likely to miss many shots on overseers.
Assuming you're spending most of your ammo on fleshmobs(likely), an unarmored target, the damage difference should be around ≈30% (150 vs 90) meaning you shouldn't need to waste more than 30% of the MMGs bullets relative to the HMGs to kill it.
Unless you're liberally using the MMG to spray every horde of vote less you see, the ammo ec should not be much worse.

>>527845138
>HMG/Sabre/PP

>could have just used my primary to do this instead
>need to throw stun grenades or EMS bullshit just to enable a weapon with so many downsides already

>inb4 just get good, just bring recoil armor, go prone behind cover (where you can't even fucking see them)

I've got hundreds of hours of doing this, I used to main nothing but HMG on bots. I can mag dump a hulk while jumping back prone and eye nuke it with the zero recoil. But shield devs absolutely cuck the shit out of the HMG and make it feel like garbage.
If I'm swapping to a weapon that can kill them, I'm swapping to a fucking weapon that can kill everything anyways. There is no skill issue. The gun itself prevents you from fucking doing this, and it's the most blue balls thing in the fucking game. It's so bad, it makes me want to play on bugs instead BECAUSE AT LEAST I CAN SHOOT THE FUCKING CHAFF THERE AND GET AN ERECTION.

>>527844578
Thanks, Democracy Officer.

>>527845419
I remember my first time going against heavy devs; I just unloaded a magazine into their shield and they shot me to bits right after. Soon after, I figured out the many weak spots, how the fuck could anyone above level 10 still have issues?

the Pacificer should be called the Back-Scratcher

>>527843097
Teamwork is actively discouraged by design between all the weapons and strategems made specifically for maximum teamkilling potential. Whether playing with friends or pubs, your best odds for survival are to stay at least 40m away from other players at all times so they only kill themselves with their funny airburst launcher or clusterbomb or gatling turret or arc thrower etc.

>>527846204
You should post some footage of this so you can show everyone how easy it is.

>>527845895
>wear this specific armor (which is ugly as sin btw)

>>527846317
My schizo theory is that they balance guns by how much they team kill allies. They think "oh it'll be really hard for someone to use this, because it might kill so many friendlies"

Like the guard dogs. I am like certain they expect people to press 5 and put the zap dog away so it doesn't kill your friends. But no one fucking thinks like that.

>>527846106
Shut up, retard. It doesn't mater how much drivel you type out. Its a simple skill issue. If the AMR kills a heavy dev better then maybe take the AMR instead? Tapping heavy devs with the HMG is not some mystical feat.
>calls me a gamer dad
Last i checked, its gamer dads who get their panties in a twist over such small things
>hundreds of hours using the HMG
All that time using the HMG and you still struggle?

>>527845950
I tend to use deadeye for precision overseer and watcher shooting. also to fill out the rest I take gas grenades, orbital gatling strike, orbital gas, and supply backpack.
be aware though, currently there is a bug that fucks up your melee attack animation and severely limits your attacks reach and arc after you stim or pick up something (samples, call-in, etc). switching weapons fixes it but it's still annoying in the heat of battle

>>527846486
>streamer shit
get with the times you troglodyte

>>527846591
>If the AMR kills a heavy dev better then maybe take the AMR instead?

So you agree then the AMR does it better, and there is zero reason to bring the HMG on bots?


>>527846591
>>527846486
You guys should post videos killing shield devs with the HMG.

>>527845419
I don't have an issue with them difficulty wise. It's more a lore/immersion issue.
What kind of absurd unobtanium are their shields made of that even the heaviest shots from us without even a scratch? Why don't automatons just strap devastator shields to every gunship and tank weak point, considering it is light enough to be carried by their equivalent of infantry and tough enough to shrug off AMR, AC and RR rounds.
Fuck, why doesn't super earth cut those into human sized, helldiver shields? I sure wish my ballistic shield had infinite durability.
I guess what I'm saying is I want to be able to shoot their shields apart with enough 50. Cal fire from an AMR/HMG or 20mm from an AC.

>>527846106
Oh and i forgot to mention in my previous comment, but you are literally seething because heavy devs inconvenience you. Not even dying to them..just inconvenienced by them. What a dumb thing to seethe over.

>>527842713
80% of the problem is that a huge chunk of the people playing squids D10 got there back when the faction was just urban fighting with half the units they have now. You didn't even have to try to win, so everybody just coasted through easy squid operations until they reached D10, which was about as easy as D6 for the actually complete factions. And now that the squids actually pose a decent threat at D10, those same brainless fuckers are getting their shit pushed in by a real faction, thinking they're still hot shit despite being level fucking thirty with zero destroyer upgrades.

>>527846591
>you... le struggle with coinslotting at longer ranges with a 1x sight and extreme aim drag
what is with the attempted dickswinging like this?
no it's not impossible to snipe devs with the hmg
yes it is annoying and they love recoiling their shield into their faces whenever you miss and if you pretend that this never happens to you and that it isn't annoying you're a lying faggot

ayo where da lobby cracka?
>captcha WGAYD

>>527846720
>So you agree then the AMR does it better, and there is zero reason to bring the HMG on bots?
It doesn't make a difference, retard. Bots are so easy that either choice is irrelevant. You can stand in front of a heavy dev to reload your weapons and take your time aiming for their head and they will still miss when shooting at you. So why are you so upset? The enemies will let you take your time when aiming for their head anyways.

>>527847176
Okay record yourself doing this then

>>527847068
>recoiling their shield into their face
I think this by itself is at least 80% of the problem.

>>527847068
>yes it is annoying and they love recoiling their shield into their faces whenever you miss and if you pretend that this never happens to you and that it isn't annoying you're a lying faggot
God forbid an enemy uses their shield to protect their face. And again, you are seething because you are slightly inconvenienced by an enemy. What a feminine thing to cry about.

>>527847068
>>527847273
Yeah- The worst part is that there are different stagger animations out there. But for some reason the HMG one is that.

holy shit either fuck each other or go find some other general to pretend to play the video game in

>>527847268
What a pathetic cope. If i did record and post it, what would your excuse be then?

The only real buff we need is a range increase for the flamethrower. It's great on the city maps though on urban and open maps the increased range would be fully welcomed

The warrant is the best heavy dev killer because it just ignores their shield.
You can just shoot through it.

Anything explosive really. But at that point you've basically killed the entire group.

>>527847336
the devs don't even do it intentionally, you fucking moron. It's a byproduct of staggering/aimpunching them, their upper torso recoils backwards which makes them "aim" upwards and makes their heads hide behind the shield, unintentionally (on their part), even if intentional design wise by AH.

>>527847778
> unintentionally (on their part), even if intentional design wise by AH.

Alexus...

>>527847273
It is. I have no problems quickly bursting them down when facing their front-right side because the shield won't be cockblocking me as it gets staggered. I don't care about the additional ammo used to not coinslot and it's worth it nearly every time.

>I CANT HEADSHOT IM LITERALLY DEATHLOOPING TO A MEDIUM

Simple as that. The vanilla crosshairs and optic are the worst thing I've seen in a game where small weakspots are vital. Now you only have to deal with weird movement and the fog and none of the artificial difficulty from AH being retards that can't design clear crosshairs or scopes

>>527849278

That defeats the purpose of the gun.
It's not a headshotter, it's something you're supposed to aim center mass with. If it had like insane ergonomics maybe but even then you don't have a proper scope for headshotting.

>>527850901
AH is the problem for catering to those people.

>>527850402
why the fuck would you do that when you can just shoot their head with the light pen weapon. 9 outta 10 light pen weapons don't stagger devs, and you can kill everything save the hulk by aiming at their face.

Honestly HMG is just a shit weapon for bots.
Bots are a precision faction, and HMG is not a precision gun.
Anyone that argues otherwise is retarded.

alexus wasn't raped hard enough because he's still breathing, nerftroons will seethe

>>527851252
Bufftroons die regardless of how many player buffs and enemy nerfs.

>>527851364
If you don't have the angle on the head you can just shoot lower torso. Takes about 5 liberator shots to kill a heavy dev that way.

Unless you're on their right side at a really specific angle, and in that case I don't think you'd have a good angle on their gun?

Yes, one of AH's biggest mistakes of all was catering to "those people" for so long instead of doing the needful in the camps when he had the chance.

>>527851669
Pretty sure it juts out, but I'll do some testing and pics.

>>527852028
it does a bit, but the only reason you'd shoot the gun in that case is if they're targetting your ally. Even when they shoot through their shield they pop their head out at you enough to just pepper with bullets.

if you mind walking to the crapper more than the stink of your own shit you will eventually start shitting where you sleep and become a wholly unwanted degenerate.
by that same token Helldivers 2 is rapidly poisoning itself with retards that don't even wanna try playing well, demanding ever more convenience and canned instakills, and they wouldn't be here if not for the 60 day reddit reform. nerf RR.

We know that's you Nirah, fuck off will ya?

my boywife nirah!? where!?

>>527852389
Yea, the game was on a good path of balancing changes prior to the 60 days patches. They just need to push a few really bad weapons/stratagem a bit more like they have been doing. They didn't need just to appease the mass and just give out blanket buffs to everything, including things that were already good, and nerf the enemies at the same time.

>>527854328
Obsessed.
I don't think Nirah even comes here anymore.

Yes, and then AH wet their diaper out of fear because a bunch of shitty redditors got loud and uppity. All though to be fair, those changes they made to the flamethrower were really dumb. Why did the flame visual change? That was so dumb. Still AH are a bunch of cuckolds for going through with the 60 day patch.

Genuine cult

>>527854868
Flamethrower nerf is still utterly bizarre to me.
It was only usefull for killing chargers and even at that it was worse than EATs. But normies only learn from youtubers how to play the game and the youtuber midwits didn't know or were incapeable of better ways to kill them.
I asume no one outside of 4chan even figured out the walking forward legshot trick.

>Take grenade launcher
>Take supply pack

Yet shitters wont take it because its not high armor penetrating

>>527855263
Yeah, hence bufftroon still being here spamming the same bait

>>527854868
I think flamethrower/flame weapons are some of the thing they didn't overbuff. The current state of flame weapons combined with none-neutered enemies would be good

>>527855153
>Few can stand braving that hellhole
Are you sure? /hdg/ shares the same thoughts on balance as these people. /hdg/ and redditors both begged for the 60 day patch. They are essentially family at this point.

>>527855331
It was too good at killing charger imo as an intentional feature. It was better than the current flame thrower now.

>>527855347
I don't take it cause it's kinda boring honestly.
Like I took it once on bugs. Sat ontop of a bug breach, waited for bugs to pop out, clicked and they all died. N you can just keep doing that it's crazy.

Supply pack also feels like a massive crutch unless I'm using heavy armor. Because then it's mandatory to actually survive the unavoidable shit you get hit with.

It's funny too because we never actually got the original flamethrower, they fucked it up and the new DOT fix was their way of "fixing" their shit code.

>>527855513

>>527855559
My bad, i forgot that facing adversity and overcoming a challenge is a White trait. I forgot that the game is brown coded now. I'm sorry.

>>527855472
You had to hit the same leg for 3 seconds at flamethrower ranges.
Any enemy hitting you would make you flinch and set yourself on fire, and fire damage was way more deadly to the player back then.
It would kill chargers, sure, but EAT to the leg followed by 3 bushwacker barrels was alot safer, easier and faster.

>>527855738
APOLOGIZE HARDER

>>527855697
That's totally okay. It's a really solid gun for bugs, just because it works great to close bug holes. And it is really satisfying. It just doesn't personally give me enough utility to justify it in any of my dog shit builds :)

>>527855718
You're a coward. Not surprising since you cried to AH to solve your skill issue instead of adapting overcoming it.

>>527855836
You are brown and your opinions do not matter. Good night.

>>527855760
The floor flame shit wasn't as bad though, like yeah you would lite yourself on fire, but only if you lit the hunter leaping at you on fire. It was like the one thing that balanced out the gun on bugs.

Today while waiting for extract there were two guys who just vehemently refused to get underneath the building they put there for you to avoid leviathans and legitimately died like 5 times each sitting out in the open trying to RR them/use mech to kill the 3 that were just floating around in circles sniping them. I imagine those are the kinds people that complain about leviathans.

Uhhhmmm... aschtually Helldivers 2 is a PvE game and is, in fact, not a hardcore game at the current state. So I would suggest you to be more careful next time you post such idiotic statement.

>>527856792
It's a yes or no question

>>527856726
Bufftroon's will have their fragile ego wounded if they can't clear the highest difficulty. If others can clear the highest difficulty then that is ableism in their minds. I'm being serious, that is their reasoning.

>>527856590

>>527856774
Why don't you just bully dev until they change the game so every enemy dies to one AR bullet then?

Is the bufftroon one guy or is it a discord raid?

>>527856920
The solution is hilariously simple: make further difficulties difficult for difficulty's sake, meaning don't increase the rewards at all. People that play them shouldn't care about rewards in the first place, but any sort of increased rewards will inevitably attract people who do, who will then proceed to cry about it until it's no longer difficult.

>>527856109
I don't know too much about cool builds. But a fun build I did for a bit was just take AC and three of the main barrages.

120 for calls,
Walking for punching holes in things,
and 380 for just clearing out POIS and general boom.

AC is so versatile I could just run anything with it. Loved using that gun, and reloading exactly 5 shots after shooting 5 times felt great.

Lately been using smoke with the warrant. Then just give my team covering fire with the AMR / Spear (It's bad, and just "okay" with resupply). That or I use it with jump pack, scout the map out with light armor, then return to my team when we're close by to complete an objective. AMR lets me snipe things from far away, and smoke helps pull aggro off me so I can shoot enemies in their backsides.

It's not my go to strat, but it feels unique compared to the generic builds I see the game centered around and that makes it fun for me.


Theres a lot of fun combos out there. But I think the ones that I have the most fun with are the ones that let me laugh with my friends in comms and have a good time.

>>527856726
Because you would be the first to whine and bitch about any changes.

I'm midgame with only chinks rn and they keep fucking napalm barraging the extract and throwing gas grenades directly on the terminal before we've even activated it. Fucking MORONS.

>>527857096
Its literally me and i will go to war with the whole world to prove i am right. The game was better before the buff patch. AH should have never kneeled to the redditors and /hdg/ shitters. Nothing but endless power creep. There is no more challenge, danger, or chaos in this game. TEN fucking difficulty modes and not one of them is allowed to be a sweaty, dangerous challenge because redditors and /hdg/ get their panties in a twist whenever the game forces them to play with a modicum of skill or forward thinking. This game was ruined by normie niggers for the pursuit of profit. Money over art.

>>527857138
But that is already the core design of Helldiver 2. You don't gain anything meaningful pass diff 6. If you want to min max rewards then you don't play anything beyond diff 6/7

>>527857271
Projection.

>>527857161

>>527856726
Jocko Willink told me when I wake up I need to crush my balls, shit in my pants, and then leave the bed. What did he mean by this ?

>>527857463
But D10 isn't difficult in the slightest though?

>>527857161
The smoke build is usually for bots and its...

AMR, Jump Pack, Strafing run, Hellbomb backpack.
Primary is whatever I feel like, Secondary is warrant, and smoke grenades for grenades.

I run the hellbomb pack to jammers to clear em out. Strafing run to take out fabs. AMR lets me basically handle anything, and jump pack lets me clear the map in about 5-10 minutes.

I take sonar booster to find everything on the map and see patrols early before they intercept me. Stealth armor isn't really mandatory, because stealth just works or doesn't work.

When I get back to the team I go prone on a rock, prime a smoke grenade, and just take out things as they approach my team mates. I've got the rest of my kit, and I'm typically in a position where I can throw down a hellbomb backpack and shove it right underneath a bot drop without any enemy noticing me.

I also find that if I throw eagle strafing run, Smoke, and go prone. The strafing run will turn all the bots around and I can take out the stragglers when they're confused.

>>527857559
And no problem.
Sometimes I just run hobo with 4 reds, and scoop up the stuff I find in the map. Makes it a lot more exciting to explore POIS and see what I get.
I love barrages though for sure, it's kinda like gambling. I never know how much it'll do but it's fun to watch the number go up while the ground shakes.

>>527857138
Will never happen because swiggers do not know how to increase difficulty other than raising the enemy count. And the engine is already at the breaking point as it is. And changing around numbers on the spreadsheet wont work either because they constantly fuck that up, too.

Like, seriously, do your research before spouting nonsense. Helldivers 2 is all about cooperative play against AI enemies, not some sweaty PvP tryhard fest. And calling it hardcore? Pfft, it’s literally designed for casuals to jump in, have fun, and maybe accidentally blow up their squad with a stratagem. The difficulty scales, sure, but it’s not Dark Souls in space. Check the wiki or, I dunno, actually play the game before embarrassing yourself again. Pathetic. Smh.

>>527857634
Well not anymore
I am just pointing out that people complain about not being to play higher diff even if there is no extra reward for clearing it. They could have played diff 6/7 forever but they asked dev to make the game easier so they can play diff 10

>>527857757
>Helldivers 2 is all about cooperative play against AI enemies

>>527857757

This isn't fun. If they aren't going to kill these things or nerg them to the ground squid front will be the biggest front because no one will do it and everyone will just play Bots or Bugs.

>>527856726

Umm, no? That isn't the same thing at all. Also taking an intentionally shitty load out is artificial difficulty, You know the thing that redditors and /hdg/ complained about with regards to "bullet sponges"?

>>527856726
Ultimately the root of the issue is consoles. They're pretty limited to balancing because they can't just throw hordes of well budgeted enemies at you and instead need to spawn fewer amounts of enemies that are far more durable and deal more damage since they're hard limited on processing power by consoles.

>>527858508

What I found is that there are 2 objectively good scopes. The normal reflex sight is the best CQC and 4x Scope is the best for everything. The 10x Scope is just slightly more zoom over the max on the 4x scope but a huge ergo cost. Also, the first zoom for the 4x scope is the same magnification as the reflex sight but clearer and bigger. Every other sight is too small or not clear enough compared to these 2

>>527858719
Console players are pretty bad as well. Many of them are bug only players because they can't physically hit the heads of bot enemies.

>>527858552
on launch explosives were bugged and hitting all player limbs at once instead of just the torso, which meant players instantly exploded because they were dealing 500% more damage per shot than intended and armor also did not work at all. Bots would also continually build accuracy per shot and had an extremely tight cone after a few shots which would cause you to get lasered out of existence across the map.

You guys really confuse "bad game design" with "hard"

>Draupnir enjoyers in thread
Glad to know there's more of us. Maybe one day we'll get to go back.

Shorten the duration of missions on higher difficulties.
This fixes the game's difficulty problem.

That one rally mission where you had to kill illuminate ships as they dropped down was the closest I felt to an actually focussed difficulty. Lessening the time players have to complete a mission, and optimally proceeding through the map would improve the game.

Honestly they kinda shot themselves in the foot by making everything hyper efficient when you get all your upgrades, that it's impossible to go back. But at least they can have some semblence of coordination and ticking clock actually make people think.

>>527858921
Lots of people here confuse "good game design" with "zero challenge" instead. Not much of an improvement.

His post was saying that he'd rather have a bad situation that's at least interesting(Surrounded and mogged, yet able to slow down fleshmobs by targeting legs in order to reposition, similar to how you can shoot the guns off of certain enemies to cripple them), rather than be forced to blindly dps check into the otherwise boringly simple enemy.
Not once did he say that a bad situation is unthinkable, you made that up because you can't fucking read.

>>527858689
halve reinforcements and remove reinforcement regen, slow the regen rate of stims so it isnt a temporary god mode, reduce magazine count, increase recoil, increase speed of enemies (half of the buggers slow walk towards you already), increase accuracy of enemies, more map modifiers, lower resupply timer.

Reticle dot too thick, Reflex Mk2 and Holographic are WAY better. And the 1.5x scope is better yet as it gives you just a bit of zoom, enough to make it MUCH more comfortable to use beyond point blank range.

Hit to ergo too big, also you won't be using its main selling point (max zoom) 95% of the time so at that point why not just pick the 2x and save yourself a bit of ergo.

>>527859197
They should add an objective that requires you to shoot at a stationary target with the stalwart for 20 minutes straight with no other enemies present. That would be pretty difficult don't you think? Since it's definitely not tedious or annoying.

>>527859093
>Not necessary

I don't know, every time I'm in a game, the mission gets a lot more interesting the moment the timer is accounted for, half the time people just dick around fighting patrols and breaches for way to long. Honestly I don't know why they hide it from the player now.

They could even go further and give players just 10 minutes, and everytime they finish an objective they're allotted 10 more minutes of mission time.

>>527859305
Leviathans aren't a problem if you have a little bit of teamwork or forward thinking.

>>527859113
So your solution to making the game "challenging" is just gimping the fuck out of everyone.
Im not surprised you would respond with the most dog ass response.
>increase accuracy of enemies,
Remember when I said most deaths is just one shot anyway and any increase in difficulty would just make that more common?
>reduce magazine count, increase recoil
How exactly would this at all be fun? This entire list you wrote just sounds like you want to brag instead of suggesting good ideas.

In your attempt to act like "heh, well *I* could handle it!" you forgot how the game actually works and just suggested awful changes.

>>527859113
Wow, all of that and I can still can complete almost every mission without being required to kill a single enemy or at most throw a stratagem as I run past. That sure promotes good and fun gameplay.

VT2 and Darktide are just linear corridor shooters, they don't play significantly different from L4D2 and just feel ambitionless. HD2 is, uniquely, a sandbox with the slightest touch of milsim where you're given a huge map, a set of objectives and a suite of tools of your choosing to complete them with in any order you wish, which is all entirely unique to this subgenre.

Because your suggestions suck ass. Over half of your post was just suggesting nerfs. How is that interesting gameplay other than to force a supply pack meta?

they just want this constant escalation of difficulty that only appeals to an extremely small audience so they can flaunt their ego

>>527860069

The supply pack is a cancerous crutch. And that wasn't my post, but his suggestions were perfectly fine.

And yet the suggestions would force a supply pack meta because it would directly counter a lot of his "hard" gameplay. Not only that, but Siege Ready would be even more meta.

Nothing wrong with that. If anything there should be unique rewards for the higher difficulties, just like space marine 2. But yes, i want greater challenges and more difficult fights. The fun comes from overcoming hard fought battles.

>>527860367
>Nothing wrong with that.
Look what happened to WoW. It has exactly what you want and all it did was lead to this endless arms race of add-ons vs the devs and making the game literally unplayable without add-ons.

>>527860173
Trvth Nvke

>>527860289
Then the solution in my opinion would be to nerf the supply pack and siege ready. That isn't realistic due to shitter seethe or AH's cowardliness, i know. But then again, If people wanted to depend on crutches in this hypothetical hard mode then that wouldn't necessarily be a problem.

There is no gitting gud. You only developed muscle memory responses to a set of very specific stimuli. These skills do not carry over to any other application. The minute to move over to a new game, you will suck all over again.

>>527859986
>>sandbox
How is it NOT one? A sandbox doesn't necessarily mean having cheats and 0 objectives like Gmod, it could in fact have some basic pointers and restrictions.
>>milsim
It comes through in the details. Weapons having realistic ballistics (which aren't excessively pronounced like in BF with its slow-mo projectiles with insane ballistic drop), an armor penetration system this granular, tanks being resistant to man-portable AT from the front with AP6 there on release, a pretty realistic magazine system, flavor text like "HEAT" and "APHE", team reloads on support weapons that are meant to be crew-served - you don't come up with and do stuff like that without being at least a bit of a military buff.

>>527860584
>More nerfs
You have no idea what youre doing. Youre unironically worse than Swedes.

>>527859450
How do you think the game works because the only idea that pulsed through your head of a harder difficulty is increasing damage? Increasing the accuracy of enemies that already miss 99% of their shots would indeed, make the game harder, which is the point of a higher difficulty RETARD. When was the last time you got onetapped by a commisar or assault trooper? Reducing your mags, stims and giving a longer cooldown on resupplies (and all stratagems in general) would put more pressure on being with your team when you call resupplies in instead of being halfway cross the map solofagging

>>527860584
I forgot to add that a real difficulty would be challenging even if players took crutches like the supply pack or siege ready.

>>527860584
>how can i make the game suck and about me
Kill yourself troon.

>>527860617
Yeah, but I'd honestly say it's the closest to a genuine crutch I've seen.
It teaches you really bad habits, makes you rely on support weapons for everything, Doesn't really encourage teamplay despite it being a tool you COULD give your allies ammo with. It also completely breaks the "stim economy."

But god sometimes it's just a necessary evil to make certain guns or builds work.

Again, all that would happen is those one shots would be even more common because thats what already kills people most of the time.

Great, now I have AIDS.

>>527860659
Question: What do other pve games do when they add new difficulty levels? (Aside from the "just increase damage" since a good amount of the roster in HD2 just one-shots you already)

>>527860806
>but it is what i would do if I had full control.
Thank fucking god you dont. You'd kill the game with your nerf-boner.

>>527860813
I wouldnt mind if the lasers were more accurate, but I also think the armor differences should be more significant. I primarily roll light armor and I see no reason for anyone to ever use heavy armor given how little of a difference it makes.
more accuracy could give more of a reason to actually use more protective gear that makes a real difference.

>>527859849
Can you repeat the question?

>>527860838
today I learned never to let randoms drive my car and always force them to be the gunner

>>527860832
Its really lame when super heavy enemies go down to a single shot form a support weapon.

>>527860918
So why not just buff heavy armour instead of indirectly nerfing light armour?

>>527860961
problem with that is the gunner shit is bugged still and you lose the ability to shoot when you leave. You also get REALLY shit ergonomics.

>>527860858
More everything and higher density of specials, but consoles can't handle increased spawns and spamming nothing but heavies makes the game easier but more boring as you never swap off your support weapon.

>>527860943

NTA but i had zero issue with playing d10 before the buff patch. Current D10 is much easier and quite a disappointment. Also there is plenty of more room for high difficulty modes. Current D10 is evidence of that.

>>527861285
You're right. Nearly every enemy in the game is just chaff now.

>>527861417

>nerfing all of your arsenal and gameplay elements wouldn't affect lower difficulties
You're expecting the devs to figure out how to make a separate gameplay balance depending on the difficulty when those retards still aren't capable of fixing the fire pods damage or never fixed the stratagem ball bouncing issue?

>>527860741
>It teaches you really bad habits, makes you rely on support weapons for everything
it doesn't:
your favorite choice of primary
ultigaytum/thermite/pyrotech/senator for anti tank
loyalist/gas nades/crisper/etc for crowd control
it makes you incredibly self sufficient, allowing you to deal with any situation. the amount of stims you get to work with on top of the ability to duplicate supplies with every resupply allows you to run circles around the map and tank literally anything that isn't a one shot. also you can drop a teammate a spare supply pack seven minutes into the match

>>527861604
ironically wow fell down because the game got hollowed out by a decade of dumbing down and streamlining for the purpose of onboarding retards

>>527861604
WoW started appealing to the super hardcore playerbase in BFA and Shadowlands with everything being focused on the idea of "youre going to raid Mythic" and it almost killed the game.
Then theres the endless arms race of add-ons (cheats) and the developers trying to outwit the addons leading to a degenerate cycle of the game becoming more and more unplayable if you dont have the right addons even in non-raiding environments because the devs probably assume you have them installed.

>>527861697
The supply pack really is a disgusting crutch.

>>527858058
I want these and the DSS constantly traitor barraging my position like back in the good old days.

Yeah. It basically turns you into an unkillable god that can stim repeatedly, throw out gas grenades, shoot the ultimatum, and never play with their teammates.

It stops you from thinking about your team, timing resupply, and running together. You just get into this zone where you press 5, hit g, and stim yourself.

You dont like the Supply Pack because you only use it on yourself

you're wong but not wholly wrong, what's the point of 10 difficulties when D1 to D3 are basically the same, D4 to D6 are basically the same and D7 to D9 are basically the same? it just serves to needlessly spread the playerbase over a planet, which isn't much of a problem on a highly populated one but on lower populated ones getting a full game on the difficulty you want is never garanteed

>>527861881
this,
why bother with using a guard dog to aimbot a patrol when you can just nuke it with a grenade and have plenty to spare?
why bother with survivability options such as shield generator, ballistic/directional shield when you can just pop a stim and tank anything that isn't a one shot kill?
why bother with the mobility of a jump pack when you can just pop a stim and keep faster pace?
why bother with the anti tank killing potential of the RR when you can just layer the floor with pyrotechs/ultimatum shots and kill several factory striders and tanks before the RR user can even reload and get their second shot off?
viable on every front with little to no weakness. the stratagem is by all means OP and should be despised, and yet no one even talks about it

What are the chances that there's a miles-long that is nothing BUT gravestones? You could walk for 5 minutes in a straight line and gravestones dot the landscape, as far as the eye can see.

The Helldiver has been diving to a zone where an escape pod has landed, for at least 20 times in a row now.
Each time, 5 minutes pass, and we're forced to abort the operation. The next Helldiver assigned, does the same.
We keep getting Super Credits to fund the armoury of all future Helldivers assigned to this ship, but we're also not doing any progress in the war itself.

>>527866076
Might be cool if they made it something like the GM-6 Lynx, so it'd have heavy pen and high damage. It could be differentiated from the AMR by having no explosive AOE on impact. I don't know how you'd make another light pen DMR without it power creeping either the Amendment or the Tendie. Medium AP with no stagger, maybe? But then it'd just powercreep the DCS.

>>527870521

>>527870815
Oh huh. I'll admit, I don't use it very much. I guess I mistook the bit of push force on impact for an explosive AOE. A heavy DMR without push force, then?

HD1 monetization was much worse because you couldn't earn the ingame currency and were locked out of VITAL stuff like the snow boots thing that were necessary in some missions.

And the "malware" is just tinfoilery. Go play on Linux if you don't want it in your kernel, I guess. Still works there.

The game is pure, distilled, kino. There are some annoying bits, because anything made by mere humies is always imperfect, but it far above all the other live service slop there is.

Remember those are the people who team reload shot an AC into Bile Titan's belly on stream thinking it's an epic last stand moment because nothing could have been done.

Well, having basically infinite stim is the "defense" option ofrunning a supply back pack compared to the defensive option of a shield or jump pack or the offensive boost of a guard dog. Of course, it wasn't as simple before 60 days patches when there were more things that can insta kill / stagger lock you from stimming.

>>527873741
You get it. The brilliant folly of trying to integrate a short barreled carbine, a computerized rangefinder scope, and a magazine-fed automatic grenade launcher with smart munitions would fit right into Helldivers. Maybe one day there'll be a warbond based on all those totally not overpriced failed boondoggle programs. Call it something like Engineered Conflict, they like their double entendres.

>HD1 monetization was much worse
Eh, yes and no. The DLC was cheaper, but yes there was no way to get it with in-game grind. All-terrain boots were a crutch for players who didn't have a jetpack or vehicles unlocked yet. Some of the weapons though were very meta. I never bought the DLC because some of it was very power crept. The legions of battlepasses costing $10 a pop will tip over by updates eventually where you'll need to spend a lot of time grinding SC to get them all. Granted, you get 1 free pass for buying 4 so... Eh?

new auto stim armor passive that automatically stims you below 50%, health also you slowly regen health back to full as long as you have stims left

>>527876675
when one opens we don't care

>>527876719
The swedes want to save Russian lives by getting them to leave their terrible country to play
Or just use a VPN

So in terms of primaries.
On bugs you bring stagger on pred strain, and medium pen on anything else.
Bots you bring ap2 to headshot devs.
For aliens you bring...?

What's the chaff killing primary on aliens?

>>527876639
i figured it would be armor of choice for people who dislike getting ragdolled and being unable to stim, plus the added bonus of being able to ignore chip damage to an extent

>>527875892
The guy they used for HD1 nailed it out of the park, and the best part was the faction's combat music scaled with difficulty.

>>527876675
20 deaths or just join in

don't even bother joining if your kill:death ratio is lesser than 80

>>527876639

It's a +100IQ-thing. You wouldn't get it.

>>527876059
Honestly I'd like if healing was just a tool we had access to. Stims fix broken body parts, but healing can just remove chip damage. Just so damage reduction actually means something.

>>527876675
Nobody cares just don't go out of your way to sabotage the team. If the game is too hard just ask it the lobby would be open to lowering the difficulty. That shouldn't be necessary though. To my experience hdg lobbies have skilled players that can carry you through d10. I was fucking around with the one true flag the other day markering squids and we did fine

>>527876924
I just bring Pacifier, it's pretty ok. You can kill an Overseer if you magdump center mass.

>>527876924
Fart gas and autocannon.

>>527876958
I don't think it's a bad option, I could see using it if factions get more obnoxious with knockdown shit like old bots

>>527877025
What's the problem? Is infinite healing when above 50% HP that bad?

Giving up power and pen value for ergonomics and mag size is nigh universally a bad call.

It feels I need as much shit as possible cause I'm doing some insane terminid numbers. Just wish I had a primary that could handle that.

>>527877761
NTA but it's got more mag capacity, better ergos, and light pen, so if you miss a headshot, your target hasn't flinched

>>527877761
But he's right though.
It's the most broken bot gun in the game right now. Go full ergo and just one click everything.

>>527877857
Just bring the saber and you can easily clear hordes of voteless.

>>527877295
You only really need med pen on squids against Harvester joints and Stingrays. Bot and bug units that become easier to kill with med pen have weakspots that are vulnerable to light pen, which Harvesters and Stingrays don't have. Technically bots have Striders but those are Senator food.

>>527878027
high ergo =/= better dps
it's a pure QoL stat

>>527878071
The voteless isn't really the problem tho it's the guys with 6000 HP and the 20 flying guys.

But I feel like somethings just wrong with spawn rates at lower player counts on illuminate.

>>527878139
Oh okay ur baiting lol
But yeah, diligence is fuckig crazy. Buddy of mine said ap2 was the best way to play bots. Didn't believe him till I tried it.

Was mind boggling killing so many devs so fast with the lib carbine n diligence.

>>527878139
Faster target aquisition means more dead bots, dps is irrelevant anyway when you only need one headshot.

>>527878164
Just bring the AC or WASP in that case.

>>527878285
It really is the best way to play bots. I love diving with the Amendment and sniping patrols one by one. It's a load of fun, especially since the ergo buff.

Pacifier
50dmg, 700RPM, 583.333DPS AP3

Assuming you hit ALL shots on target without missing anything or hitting other body part;
(for realistic scenarios, multiply these numbers by 1.25 assuming you miss 1 in 4 shots)
3 shots to break chest armor
12 shots to break torso (&kill) == 1.2s TTK

5 shots to break head(&kill) == 0.4s TTK

If you aim for the torso you get to kill 2 overseers/reload
If you aim for the head you get to kill 8 overseers/reload

For comparison,
Abjudy:
8 shots to kill @ torso, 0.8s TTK, 3 overseers/reload
3 shots to kill @ head, 0.3s TTK, 10 overseers/reload
Repri:
6 shots to kill @ torso, 0.73s TTK, 6 overseers/reload
2 shots to kill @ head, 0.24s TTK, 12 overseers/reload

given that they are mediums they also stun somewhat easily, this is arguably the one enemy that the reprimand does decently against.
Anything that requires proper damage like fleshmobs or shields or harversters will rape you 10 times over though.

It one taps a dev head at any range.

When doing the "Evacuate Civilians" objective, do enemy waves spawn endlessly until the event is completed (all 20 civies have been saved) or are they triggered when you press the button to release more civies?

Grug take HMG cause it shoot the most big bullets

>>527878910
I think like any objective/subobjective it'll automatically spawn patrols in the vicinity if there's at least one helldiver onsite and probably throttles the speed of new patrols if it's 1 or 4 divers. I've had plenty of times doing that objective solo with literally no enemies spawning while running back and forth opening the doors, while the rest of the team is fighting bug breaches/bot drops on another objective. I think it's also modulated by planetary invasion level/resistance, sometimes it's a total breeze and other times you're barely holding the line.

NTA. The eruptor projectile moves at a snail's pace in adittion to the awful ergonomics, making precision shots at heavy armored weak spots (the role the senator excels at) extremely difficult.

I just wanna not take the revolver for once.
It just feels so good.

My first dive when I installed was d3 squid mission, which I solo'd b/c who would dive in with an L1.
Poor choice.

The writing was on the wall when the BR kept placing sentries behind us. Ended with 4 accidentals.

why do shitters want AP4 on a primary
for killing heavies? the heavies that die to, lets see...hmm...
the hmg, hmge, ate, eat, rr, spear, wasp, arc gl, mmg, flamethrower...what else...oh right, the red stratagems, and sentries.

Naw I want it so I can click things with armor 3 and do more damage, while also having potential to click on hulk eyes.

It would finally be a (decent) not even good, bot gun..

>>527880262
>i want a gun that does everything on the bot front
its called the senator, retard. everything else is a skill issue on your part.

>>527879673
Being able to aim faster and having more bullets to shoot will let you kill more devs in a shorter amount of time. This is not an opinion, this is just a fact.
Pen and power don't matter when both weapons kill in one headshot.

And what's the problem with it doing everything innefficiently?

since squids finally got their permanent front what happens now

>>527881010
People bitch until they nerf flesh mobs and levvies

>>527880883
you being shit with it.
it one-taps troopers and dev heads, can 2-tap hulk visors, can destroy factory strider miniguns, kill gunships, destroy tank vents, destroy small turrets and cannon turret weakspots
it does everything you want, anything else is cope and asking for more options because you cannot handle the current options available to you.

is figuring weak spots trial and error or do enemeis have visual markers for them

HD2 is a millsim shooter, above 60% accuracy means you're a pacifist hippie bitch.

They're more real than your relationship with your parents, that I know of.

remember when we thought we'd never get urban combat?

>>527881232
little of both. basically heads and glowy is weak, except for on factory striders which have weak bellies and striders, which have weak shoulder joints

I love how some things transcend language

>remember when we thought we'd never get urban combat?
We never did.

>>527881232
The bots have clear visual weak spots (except the factory strider), the bugs have what look like visual weak spots but it's not weak spots and the real weak spots are completely unrelated stuff, and the squids have visual weak spots that so absolutely nothing.

>>527881232
Headshots are universal
Devastators have a waist weakspot, the glowing red part.
Tripod weakspots are the leg joints closer to the "head", but shooting the top or bottom notch to disable their shields is a good first step.
Bugs are obvious with heads, but shooting legs works for crippling them.
Impalers, its their receding hairline just above their eyes.

Do you wish to know more?
