>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.

>each city liberated gives a small bump to planetary liberation and reduces decay rate
>we're still somehow under 0.8% liberation rate after capturing two cities, with 55% of the player base on the same planet, after factoring in DSS support, and another 35% to go before we even unlock the next city to capture
Goddamn, Joel fucking sucks at this, it's going to be yet another forced loss at this point. Remember when we could liberate entire planets inside of one day flat if all the cards came up the right way?

50% crutch, 50% inconsistent. Why do you keep bothering?

I want the power of the leviathan to switch from its cannons to its bombs make the cannons lasers instead and have it actually try and chase with the intent to bomb you

are dog droid frens easy mode?

>>527888185
absolutely, any backpack is really
the big boy play is to leave your back slot open and pick up what you can get from mates
that or getting autocannon pilled

>>527888715
>backpacks are easy mode until you get a backpack then its not easy mode

Justice. 50% soon, 50% crutch, 101% awesome.

>>527888758
an option to pick up additional power later isn't the same as getting that power by default

>>527888921
so backpacks arent easy mode because i always have the option to use said additional power later.

>>527889016
all I'm saying is that you should be able to play comfortably without one. for most expert players there's just no slot cost justification to backpacks unless you want to be extra lame and spam grenades via supply pack or similar.

>>527888715
>autocannon
>not easy mode
lol

>>527889549
Jump pack is extremely good on predditors, bubble shield pack is extremely good on bots and brap dog is extremely good on squids.

>If manually activating a hellbomb leads to all those points, why are the majority of sub-objectives
Hellbomb is a backup in those cases. If your strats are on cooldown or you didn't bring the proper equipment you can still call in a hellbomb in so you can complete the objective.

did they change SC drop rates?
cant find any on D1

What's the best melee weapon? Are the ones in the store any good, or just stick with Stun Lance and Saber?

No matter how much I lab, I can't generate a noticeable dps increase from peak physique / ergo minmaxing.

>>527891747
There are unfortunately no good melee weapons.

>>527891747
Saber from Masters of Ceremony. Highest range, horizontal slashes, fairly quick to swing, good damage. Pretty much everything you could ask for.

do stingrays do explosive damage or no? I can't tell if the reason I survive is because I go prone or not

>Just barely on track to get a SINGLE planet for the MO
>The player percentage is gonna keep dropping more and more with how boring squids are
It's over over

>>527891747
they all suck. melee niggers should have been told to go play sm2.

>>527892009
>Highest
Well, not THE highest, but it's more than the hatchet.

>>527892114
I hope you're not a bot nigger saying this

>>527891747
The CQC-19 Stun Lance. Long range to keep big or troublesome enemies away from you.piercing attacks allow you to control which exact body part of the enemy you want to target, and its powerful stun ability allows you to completely completely stunlock even Heavy enemies like Chargers and make them completely defenseless.

>>527891747
Saber or stun baton for crowd clearing.
Stun lance and flag for fights against medium sized enemies.

>>527891747
>What's the best melee weapon?
Amendment. Doesn't use up your secondary for a meme but lets you stab a fucker when caught mid reload.

>>527892152
every enemy is a fleshmob in sm2

>the new stun grenade is a single target stun
>doesn't work on anything that normal stuns don't
why ever pick this over the normal stun nades?

>>527891983
>dps increase from making the gun more responsive
I'm not sure you understand what you're doing. The only time ergo comes into play is when you're shooting a fast-moving perpendicular target, or the ergo is so low that fine adjustments in aim feel sluggish.

Dps has very little to do with this.

bros, wanna pissdive?

>>527891747
Stun Lance is pretty good at 1 shot breaking the legs of Voteless for squids.
You can also do the same with the Verdict AND have a useful sidearm however.

hows the new guard dog?

>>527894116
its ok but it assfucks your team. It fires every few seconds, usually kills a few chaff enemies each time it shoots.
I'd say if it fired a little bit quicker it'd be on par with the other drones.

>>527893342
Literally the only enemies you'd want to lock to for that long is shit like bts and dogs, and they're immune

>>527893232
I said fuck not cuck you retarded sissy bitch

>>527894116
Slow to fire and a TK machine.

>>527894625
Okay but can you suck his dick now like a good AMR bitch you are

>>527893342
Nine seconds. It pulses 3 times, applying a 3 second stun on each pulse.

>>527894116
If you coordinate with your teammates and everyone has Arc armor (and the guard dogs, to be frank) you can absolutely shred the Illuminate
It stuns hulks/overseers so it actually turns out super well as a better cover option than the regular guard dog at times and it supremely owns thanks to a really aggressive arcing system, it seems a little wider when it searches for a new target than other arc guns do
Will report back after some testing later today

>>527894116
great teamkilling potential since it happens when you least expect it
>captcha: TAXYU

Anyone defending the game design of the leviathan is disingenuous and is looking for (you)s.

nah fuck off im going back to bots

I think AH knows the squids are not well liked so they're rushing to add the magician mofos

>work is slow
>not a lot to get ahead on
>still have to physically be here
Guess it's another day nodding off in the corner while being vehemently abusive to the swedish race for infecting my favorite games with their malicious yet unoptimized code. I hope you will join me in the ritual hatred of Sweden.
This week's shit flinging event is Leviathans and Squiggers: Why is the swedish mind damaged and unoriginal? How can we successfully penetrate their fog of arrogance and bubble of critical isolation to make effective change on this game so we can finally have the squids we deserve?

>>527895582
if they made the projectiles slower i think it wouldnt be so bad

How do I kill these fuckers?I unloaded two recoiless shots into it without a shield and it still didnt die

>>527896781
Have no idea how did you not killed it, maybe it can tank 2 RR shots in the main body, but right now legs and eye are main weakspots that can be one shoted with RR or EAT for example.

Is exploring the mission area something people do?
I collected 10 out of 15 common samples on my first mission and I'm not sure if I should've explored more to find all of them

>>527894828
I would fuck your sissy ass good bitch. I'm not a leandiver sissy like Nirah. I'm more like a Pajeet rapegod brawnchad.

>>527896781
shoot this

>>527896781
Focus down these parts of the legs specifically. Take one out and the whole thing comes crashing down.

>>527896781
Shoot the leg joints with medium penetration weapons.

>>527897149
The main body has multiple different areas of ablative armor plating with 0% transfer to main. You can shoot it with RR like 6 or 7 times without actually dealing any damage if you blast all leg and main body armor plates.

>>527892009
>>527892407
Good to know. I was planning on getting Masters and starting to like melee, so it may end up being way better than people initially expected.

>>527892331
This I did pick up on because I got it and used it with the shield, which is why I even asked. I like the play style, especially for squids, but fuck me if it isn't a tad boring. It only has the one thrust attack and gets a bit stale quick. Plus, with the stim glitch fucking it up, the range is a tad underwhelming at that point.

Is it still viable without peak physique? I just have the Medium one and no VC, but it may have been overkill. Not sure if there's another armor that's good to take with it and be more well-rounded or if it's basically a requirement.

>>527893126
Good idea. Wish it wasn't at the bottom of Polar or else I'd have it, I do want it but everything else in there is basically redundant for me now. Warrant will do for now.

>>527896208

>>527891747
Flag would be good if the hitbox matched the model

>>527897932
Wattson...?

>>527897813
melee is a great option. the sabre with PP armour turns into a voteless blender and the stun lance + shield combo is pretty solid on any non-bile spewer bug seed, hell it can even flex on bots since you can precision poke devastator and berserker heads.

Leviathans aren't really fun to interact with.

>>527898804
You don't need PP to turn the saber in a voteless blender.
Just aim at their legs, one swing knocks them down another cuts their head off.
Bots heads are also a one tap with the spear regardless of PP.

>>527899593
So they fit in with the rest of the illuminate roster?

>>527899593
Leviathans are the easiest super heavy enemies to kill in the game. You're a redditor shitter if you are having trouble with them.

You kill those too. It's not a hard concept.

>>527900307
it's as simple as hd1 players not liking fighting the illuminate so they changed them up

>>527898758
Flag would be good if they gave it 250 base damage. It takes up a stratagem slot AND your support weapon slot is it too much to ask for some fucking damage to go along with it? I'd even trade away the stun effect just please give it some more damage

Is there a prio for warbonds or is it just get what you like?

>>527900841
Democratic Detonation is often considered a must have.

>>527900649
Id rather get its cooldown massivly reduced.
Plant flags on every base, drop flags through hulk heads and combo with firepod booster.

I never really thought about how jewish the secondary weapons situation is if you're a new player

>>527901441
No
Why would I?

>>527900965
Really? That seems like it would be one of the low priority ones, guess I'll have to take another look at the stuff in it next time I launch the game.

>>527902109
Grenade pistol, crossbow, and the AT grenade are always useful

>>527902109
it's full of metafag weapons is why

Remember when the game launched and we all thought that we'd periodically get free warbonds alongside the premium ones

>>527902568
no

>>527900556
And when you run out of ammo/all your AT is on cooldown?

>>527902568
>every retard saying that we're gonna get a free 10 page warbond next month for sure this time guys

I'm honestly surprised they didn't do one on the 1 year anniversary, but oh well.

We were so full of hope and naivete.
Hopefully they put up a nice big juicy warbond before the year is out. At some point. Hopefully.

>>527902568
We were not yet aware just how lazy the swiggers were. Some still haven't accepted it.

>>527903009
All we've gotten is less content each new premium warbond

>>527897198
>admitting to being a streetshitting jeetard

>>527900649
They should just fix the hitbox, remove the stun, and then give it a 30 second cooldown. Let it be the Hellpod stratagem, with the bonus of planting flags everywhere. There's nothing more thematic than having Super Earth flags popping out of the crushed corpses of communists, fascists, and xenophobes.

>>527902568
lol, lmao even.

>>527903149
I wanna believe, but it's obvious that the Paradox faggot they hired has changed their monetization strategy.
>originally said that we'll get another free warbond eventually, stratagems will always be free content, and the Super Store will only be cosmetics
>Super Store now contains weapons and stuff they lopped off of the Warbond in order to essentially double their price
>the vast majority of new stratagems are warbond-only
>the closest thing we got to a "new warbond" was them giving part of the Hellzone collab for free after people realized they were gonna charge THIRTY FUCKING DOLLARS for it
I want to be wrong, but I doubt they'll give us a free warbond, unless player numbers get real bad.

Nta but PP has a 200% melee damage increase, remember? He's probably talking about melee weapon macro binds.

The orbital smoke doesn't do shit is this some kind of swedish humiliation ritual?

>>527904751
If I remember correctly, smoke only interrupts enemy tracking, like physical cover would. They'll still try to attack/approach your last known position.

>>527905025
I thought you needed to be the host for that to work too

>>527904751
>>527905025
it denies LOS based attacks and makes the enemy engage your last known position with maximum spread

The helldivers have won 69 out of 96 major orders.

anons how and where do samples spawn

>>527905956
Near points of interest. Super samples only spawn around a very specific point of interest - a vertical rock.

>>527894116
i've taken it on all fronts.
it obliterates voteless
stuns the fuck out of the bugs it wont kill in one shot
fucks up scout striders hard

i think it could use an adjustment in it's fire rate. nothing drastic. like 0.2-3 seconds. that's all.

I see it more as an alternative to the Rover than anything else. Like the Rover it has no down time, and it's energy based. Unlike the rover it's ttk is much higher. It can hit far more targets. But it's far more dangerous to the team.

>>527906831
yes, there's an ending in the files for if the squid invasion was successful. it wouldnt have meant the end for the galactic campaign but would see the helldivers and super earth forces operate from another location

>>527906157

>>527909220
Either you're one Leviathan Bitch Killing Duty or you play peekaboo with them the entire mission. Cuckchair enthusiasts probably love it because it justifies sitting in one spot for ten minutes providing artillery. Same goes for Mechfags since then being slow doesn't matter if all they do is snipe Leviathans.

Hive lords could be a combo of a charger and a bile titan, with burrowing being how it's akin to chargers and having a long range spit attack. Give it reasonable armor and an inflated health pool.

As for bots just make either more intelligent trooper-sized lethal units, or give them a giant spider-tank mobile fortress unit. Destroy a bunch of different parts of it (turrets, jammer, detector) before exposing the main health and being able to take it down.

The planet has 130% additional planet HP compared to say, Krakatwo, so we're on about the same liberation pace as we would be on a normal planet. It's just that this isn't a normal planet and the whole MO is basically just Joel doing data collection to determine how adding Super Cities to planets affect liberation.

>>527913659
The planets with mega cities have more health to chew through. A normal planet has 1 million hp while the currently focused squid MO planet has 2.3 million hp.

That's pretty fucking impressive, not gonna lie.

Leviathans would be tolerable if railcannon strike just 1 shot them. Even with the long cooldown, if 4 people ran it you could keep taking the leviathans down fast enough that they wouldn't be a problem. But nah railcannon strike will remain useless because fuck you. Vacation time.

>>527932026

the developers saying they only browse there really revealed why the game is the way it is

>>527931439
Slugger because I don't have the braincells to swap bullet types, and the half looks like an edgy nerf gun.

>>527932172
>>527932178
That they not only browse from there, but somehow their unabashed 100% pure cocksucking is still too mean and harsh for Arrohead, so they hired someone to filter out all the mean language (which could only really mean the lightest form of criticism that LSHD allows).

>>527932057
Halt and Slugger are very different weapons. I personally think the Slugger is highly underrated on bots and bugs, but people will defend the Halt as an S tier primary (as long as you macro the ammo switch lmao). As-built, the Slugger has a larger mag capacity, has hard stagger, and is obviously a slug. The slug does get inaccurate at about 40m. The Halt is a very low lethal-capacity Flechette round with some of the best damage in the game. Has pretty harsh damage falloff. The ammo swapping mechanic is kinda clunky but the utility is undeniably good.

>>527930058
I don't think thats an Eagle, probably a civllian pilot
However there should be a side mission that can spawn in after you complete the primary objective
An eagle crashes somewhere on the map and the Democracy Officer asks you to rescue the eagle pilot from the wreckage. Their seat ejects and flattens out like a stretcher and it takes two helldivers dragging the bed (each one hand) to the evac site

>>527932743
>The slug does get inaccurate at about 40m.
Try 25m
Shit has awful falloff and little to no payoff for it.

>>527932690
Yeah how shams said it "keeps them grounded" is fucking insane to me. They are probably the most glazing, dick sucking, no-bad-bad-words, delusional fans of this game... And that's saying something considering the state of the Discord. It's fucking unreal.

Running out of stims*

>inb4 I take supply crutch or medic armor

stims should be removed and you should have to play a far cry animation to heal yourself

>>527935114
I'm doing fine, the occasional death or ragdoll doesn't send me into a downward spiral of despair, you laugh it off and move on but people here act like it's the end of the world

>>527935249
Also there are a lot of things out there that will stagger lock you out of the stim animation.

And if you're not wearing heavy armor things can just cut you down fast enough that the stim heal won't be enough. Which is good to give heavy armor some semblance of identity. Even if yellow stims basically give you heavy armor.

Is earning super credits supposed to be super slow if not going out of your way to farm them?

Install the arrow mod and watch your SCs per map skyrocket as you no longer run past the actually important PoIs but also now learn to hate your teammates when they don't come open a bunker with 2x SCs in it.

>>527935682
It's a live service game, what do you expect? Yes, there are ways to get SC for free, but if you have the employment to afford high speed internet and either a gaming PC or a PS5 + PSN, then you can afford to buy the warbonds over time.

>>527936986
Flesh pounds ragdoll you and force you to move
Zombies zero out your stamina when they hit you
The towers randomize your inputs
Twenty overseers aim punching you with their plasma shots.

If it was like bots where it was just factory strider cannons ragdolling you across the map, and you had to play around the one unit it wouldn't be so bad.
It's just the entire faction is synced to work together effectively and you need to out bullshit them with high DPS and Gas.
But it's nothing else besides that.

>>527937594
well aside from the leviathan, the entire faction synergizing in order kill you is bad? by sounds of it the bots and bugs need a rework as barely any their units can apply enough pressure so their lethal units can actually finish you off, hell id argue the only lethal unit for the bots is the strider now

When did they fix that?

>>527938248
And to think Impact grenades used to be meta.

>>527934920
we have no shields, toughness/coherence or temporary health as a way to sustain ourselves so yeah i think that's pretty balanced especially with the issue of completely silent enemies that can also flat out spawn behind you

>>527938184
The kill count is bugged for seeker nades. It counts each fatal bodypart destruction as a kill so a single mook can count extra.

>>527938329
>>527938248
they didn't
furthermore, they broke it even worse so now you can get duped kills with the firework grenade, arc thrower and many more

I RAN OUT OF FUCKING SANDWICH MEAT

>>527938329
Unsure feels recent.
Did a recording with the hellbomb pack with zero enemies around and got "13 kill"

It's a little sketchy how this glitch keeps coming back only for new weapons in warbonds. Specifically weapons that you can't tell how many enemies it kills

>>527938284
Fire bots are the most dangerous specifically the heavy devastators with the shotguns unless they got nerfed. Like those fuckers could one shot you from a good distance.

>>527938030
It's fun for the novelty of wearing a supply pack so you can have 10 of these things float around you in a circle, but not much else. Well I guess it's good for flying enemies if you didn't bring anything to take those down.

>>527938708
those got nerfed

>>527938629
it doesn't dupe shit if you're solo

Gentlemen. How do we improve it?

>>527939180
You can still take out turrets and tanks with impactss if you hit their exhausts. But thermites just do it better so Impacts and HE are kind of obsolete. And for crowd control incindiary and gas grenades also blow it out of the water.

They could keep it short range but it needs to obliterate things in the sweet spot.

Did the peacemaker's damage get buffed at some point? Didn't it used to do the same damage as the liberator?

>>527940557
jar-5 and dead eye would still have more range on it, and at higher ranges it think it outright loses the medium pen

>>527940948
yeah they buffed it because the warrant was a direct upgrade over it.

>>527940948
I don't know, isn't there a wiki you can go to and read the patch notes for the weapon to see if it has been buffed?

>>527940948
Recently yes

>>527929002
I sure can't wait for /hdg/ to represent pride

>>527941002

warsaw? the fags are infecting the slavs now too?

>>527863452
it's basically a player enabler. I don't think anything should be despised as it does trade off enough for the strategem slot it takes up.

The problem is that one guy with resupply pack means nearly everyone else in the squad gets resupply pack too.
It's also a necessary evil for making a lot of shitty equipment with awful resource economy viable, and heavy armor viable.

>>527941517
Like with pretty much any country the main city (I'd say capital, but for USA it's New York and honestly most state capitals are fucked too) is completely detached from the rest of it and utterly subverted by people who call you a fascist for having laces in your shoes or buttons in your shirt.

Is it worth getting into this game even though that big event thing apparently just happened? Anything else big coming at any point? How alive is it?

>>527942129
Yeah it's still just a worse Verdict. But for me all it ever needed to do was one shot devs in the face. That's all the damage it needed to be worth picking for me.

City maps have been added in full, so we can have super earth events (against squids or any other faction) from here on out whenever.

No clue what their next big thing is going to be.

>>527861881

>>527941634
Only niggers use the supply pack like this. White men pick it for their teammates and only sparingly use it on themselves.

>>527942102
I think they still do that?
Grenades are fine on bugs because they clear bug nests and breaking apart bug chaff waves with an explosive is pretty solid. (Flame impacts are still busted though in comparison).

Just on bots they're completely worthless now.

>the light gunslinger armor is a superstore exclusive

>>527942241
>Is it worth getting into this game
It is if you like sandboxy shooting with co-op elements.
>even though that big event thing apparently just happened?
Nothingburger and basically everything from that event is normally playable. All you're missing out is commemorative cosmetics (they're whatever).
>Anything else big coming at any point?
Probably. It's a bit hard to gauge because there's stuff that was leaked over a year ago and has not made it to the game yet, so there's a lot of confusion about what will happen when but unless something surprising happens there's probably much more coming for at least a year.
>How alive is it?
Very.

The stun after ragdolling needs to be removed. The punishment for getting hit by an explosion is already the loss of control during the ragdoll, there doesn't need to be another couple of seconds added on where you still have no control to prevent you from reacting to the situation.

>>527902568
People saw all the leaked content back then and thought it would be stuff for next couple of months, which meant if all that is happening then it's pretty understandable to expect them to release a free warbond the size of Helldivers Mobilize! yearly.
They had no idea we'd be waiting for most of that stuff a year later still, with the hope being it'll get released within next two years.

>>527944273
Kills it slightly faster than recoiless, but resupply won't give you enough ammo to kill another one.

are you supposed to rebind dive to a mouse button? I have two side buttons, thinking of using one of those and the other for melee, thoughts?

>>527944273
Fastest way to kill one, provided you have a guy reloading you but not very ammo effective.

>>527944380
at this point is it just cut content? we still never got the scratched/weathered doubt killer armor

>>527944273
If you want to kill leviathans then the best things for killing them that i've seen are exosuits and anti tank emplacements. Like i've seen an exosuit take out two of them in like 10 seconds.

I bought the one with the sickle v2 that hurts u , my friend paypigged for the pyro armor now the faggot is flexing that he takes no damage from it while its still hard to use for me, went back to my dominator cause of that

should I just paypig and be done wtih it
i only play 6-7 diff

>>527909793
>>527909279
Considering you trash can retards are shitting your pants about the leviathans you'd think you would gratefully suck that guy's cock for letting shitters like you play the game.

>>527945527
I'm going to reccomend you don't outright farm for it. Doing so will make you want to stop playing, believe me. Just pick stuff up along the way during missions. You'll usually find atleast 10 credits during each mission.

>>527945714
im not a big fan of how many gameplay mechanics are locked behind warbonds in this game, for someone brand new (like my friend) it looks like he can't access 80% of the things in the game because he has to grind one of the 20 warbonds, sure in theory they're free to acquire with enough time and what not.... in practice it incentivizes new people to pay up

I really need AH to do some optimizing and space trimming because Helldivers is too big for my old computer ever since that latest update combined with the latest windows update, idk what the hell the windows update added but it's turned Helldivers into something I cannot even redownload

>>527945527
>go to level 1 bug missions

Set a goal for yourself and do it in small bursts, so that you don't get burned out on the game by grinding. Get Democratic Demolitions first.

>>527946238
i just want the fire one so I can get the pyro armor to make the sickle much stronger and easier to use, rn I just can't be bothered managing it, but with the armor i hear it just destroys since u barely take dmg from it

>>527945867
It's true. It's a pretty big game design flaw.

>>527946357
btw wtf is the thing with the anti tank pistol from the new sickle warbond I bought, anyone actually use it? I guess its supposed to save u a strategem slot by relying on it for anti armor but its low range..

>>527944214
2/4
WE NEED DIVERS

>>527946532
Yeah it's basically as you described it, it's good for anti tank in the pocket. It allows you to run higher difficulties without taking a bunch of dedicated AT and have something in the pocket if your teammates that brought AT aren't pulling their work

>>527946532
Just dive whenever you shoot it should stop the explosion from hurting you at all the bigger concern is that you only have two shots

>>527946357
If all you want the flames bond for is inflammable armor for the sickle I'd just buy the I-44 Salamander set from the superstore, it's the only heavy inflam and 1/4th the cost

>>527946357
If you're after the fire resistant armor, specifically, then another option you have is to get the medium or heavy armor that's in the superstore.

>>527946981
>>527947060
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I forgot that was an option.... booting up the game to check now thanks lads

should I go with the salamandero or the fire fighter
hmmm, imo the fire fighter looks much cooler, but heavy armor is generally suggested for any shitter yes? I can't even clear illuminate 6 with this friend with how much cancer there is on the map, wdyt?

Just get a medic-friend instead.

Umm..... I found it was ok with chargers and the flamethrower? Stick one and can burn its ass of with ease but... Why not not just use the normal stun grenade? Not a damn clue. It cant stun heavies like the titan and impaler because that would give in a nice thats useful and we cant have that.

>>527948307
i love them thematically but playing against them isn't fun, they need reworks or nerfs

>>527948069
Stun locks groups of enemies in its radius for 12 seconds.
They NEED to buff the radius though, because it's so hard to pull off that it feels unintentional.
The more you stack in an area the better the stun lock gets.

It's also versatile.
>Stuns a heavy so you don't have to worry about it and deal with the rest of the chaff
>Enables flame weapons that take a while for the DOT to take effect

It's got the benefits of the thermite grenade and aoe chaff clear. It's not great at either, but it's the most versatile grenade in the game right now.

>>527948586
>Stuns a heavy so you don't have to worry about it and deal with the rest of the chaff
Why shouldn't I just throw a thermite at it instead?

After realizing that Leviathan stops shooting at smokes, I'm bringing smoke nades unironically on objectives.

>>527948752
because your thermite won't give you chaff CC
It also enables you to do better with other guns, and doesn't solve the problem for you. It just makes it possible to solve it with what you have.

It's a really interesting nade for build potential.

>>527941975
It's a slightly worse Tendy in basically all regards except it has medium pen.
It's pretty gud.

>>527948604
You don't own the game.

>>527948704
Why do you niggers think the data mined squids releasing would just make the current roster disappear, do the normal bugs just stop spawning with on the pred strain planets

Are the stingrays bugged? I dropped in on a level 8 mission yesterday, saw they were getting messed up by two stingrays, and shot them down immediately. As soon as I did, two more immediately spawned in and immediately went to work, so I shot both of those down two and two more immediately spawned in. I did this shit six times (twelve fucking jets) in a row with no breaks only to see another pair immediately spawn in before I just left the mission.

>>527948965
>why do you think you'd play the fun roster instead of the not fun roster
Because I'm not retarded? Also the new illuminate enemies are far more advanced than any of the sub factions in the game, they'll be their own thing.

>>527948965
minor spelling mistake but you get the point, only squid I could actually see getting replaced is the staff overseer with the unarmored one

>>527948784
Wait you're telling me that the game has various answers to problems instead of running the same boring jack of all trades loadout every single mission? holy FUCK what a revelation
I genuinely hate this games playerbase so much it's unreal. How many people still don't realize how good smoke is against bots?
>>527948963
Do me a favor and take a nice long slurp on my cock. Squids are boring and most of you, along with the general playerbase, are fucking horrible at this game.

>>527940313
cheers lads, was pretty fun, despite the squid mega city jank and rocket mission sleepyness

>>527948965
The new squids will become the base faction because otherwise there will never ever be another squid MO victory. Zombie illuminates will be relegated to and occupy side planets that eventually push through the systems and need to be dealt with by the Helldiver janitorial legion.

>>527947357

I hate going slow, is heavy that good or a noobtrap

>>527949251
Just be yourself.

>>527941975
It's 100% a bug gun.
In fact all AP3 primaries are just bug guns outside the deadeye.
You just shred through things like hive guards and and alphas like it's nothing, paired with flame impacts and you've got an answer for your chaff.

Very satisfying imo.

>>527949180
>How many people still don't realize how good smoke is against bots?

my issue is that it's inconsistant.
tall enemies seem to be able to "look through" or over it. Happens a lot with factory striders.

I love it though otherwise, like honestly people laugh when I take smokes to bots. But if you take cover, bots stop shooting and you can pop out and snipe shit.

>>527949180
Smoke is boring, I just want to kill stuff

>>527948917
I appreciate you realizing that was a genuine question. You said the radius was poor though, right? I haven't bought the nade yet. I like the idea of locking down a group of chaff and then spamming a grenade launcher at them or dropping a strategem on them.

>>527949251
heavy is good but if you don't like going slow just get medium. it's a game have fun

>>527948069
useful for flamethrower builds, locking down a heavy and burning them. but for the most part the grenade is for the spreadsheet autists

皆さん、こんにちは。お元気でゲームを楽しんでいらっしゃることを願っています。始める前に、ランダムに選ばれた無投票者の5マイル圏内にいたという理由で、私のザップドッグチームに何度も殺されてしまったことをお詫び申し上げます。それを踏まえて、現在のイルミネイトのキャラクター構成は好きではないと言わせていただきます。6000体もの体力を持つフレッシュモブは、大群で出現するため戦闘が非常に厄介で、楽しくも魅力的な敵ではないと感じています。このような状況に遭遇すると、私はただ逃げるようにしています。これは多くの敵に対して有効な解決策ですが、フレッシュモブと戦うのは楽しくないので、間違った理由で行われていると感じています。さて、無視するように勧められているものについてお話しましたが、リヴァイアサンについてです。どこにでも存在し、射程が長く、非常に耐久性があり、瞬時に復活する敵は、特にハザードとして、単純に悪いデザインだと思います。倒した後5分間死んだままでも、私はそれほど気にしません。しかし、メガシティ以外のマップでは現状、私はできる限りそれらを避け、ゲームが条件がなくなるまでそれを強制する場合はすぐにミッションを放棄してミッションを諦めます。

>>527949494
Yea, it can be. It does make some sense that factory striders would be able to see "over" it sometimes or something but it's still extremely helpful.

if you actually do play the game I seriously don't understand how you could possibly defend the dogshit balancing of the leviathan. There's no solution for them, no matter what you do you end up getting punished.
>Use copious amounts of AT to cripple one
Might as well kill it because you can accomplish that in fewer shots. End result is that it flies away, despawn and is replaced instantly either way.
>run fucking SMOKES

Enjoy getting ragdolled ten times if you don't get one shot as it passes be near you. It is also elevated and long enough that 99% of the "cover" you find will be bypassed by either the front or back end of the cannons.
If it doesn't, enjoy getting pushed out of cover the by vote less and flesh mob that just spawned right behind you.

Yeah I wanna say about 5 meter radius.
Like if you throw it dead center in a bot drop you will catch most of them.

The majority of the lock down is enemies piling up ontop of eachother. But if you find a chokepoint or see enemies pathing around a corner it will catch the little shits. There are a lot of opportunities I run into where I'm like "oh I can just throw it down here and it will catch x and y" Like tossing it on something leading the pack only for it to stun everything around it like a charging fleshmob. Or just slinging it onto a bug breach and having 9 seconds of lock down for everything that spawns from it.

It's really tight though, but it feels rewarding if you're looking for a "challenge grenade"

>erm ur bad
Like pottery.
You guys are the ones shitting your pants about leviathans. I've got a couple hundred hours and 99% of my missions played have been on whatever the current highest difficulty was, whether Helldive or Super Helldive. You listed 3 separate options to address Leviathans and arbitrarily decided that you'd rather bitch and scream for nerfs instead because it's, allah forgive me for uttering the word, DIFFICULT to deal with them. That you immediately jumped to calling me brown lends me to the opinion that you're a thirdie nigger yourself who has finally been graced with the opportunity to play the game after all these months.
>>527949991
Don't reply to me again you SEAmonkey pedophile. After that you should take your own advice so that the big bad Leviathan doesn't blow you up anymore.

are people really defending an enemy thats just 100% unfun to play against, difficulty for the sake of difficulty is brainrot

>>527950305
I say that because it's true, I'm not taking a dig at them. My point is that those saying the leaked squids are obviously going to be a sub faction are delusional, they're totally different in terms of scale.

>>527929002
>reddit dominated general
>"look 4cuck and leddit are in agreement xd"
No, this game is too easy and the Leviathan is the only enemy on the squids front that can actually kill anyone.
The fact that you can't even play around buildings, bring a shield or apply any type of counterplay like watching the cannons and avoiding the shots just shows that you are a mental nigger, nothing else.
You don't like them? Keep crying, this game panders to leddit anyway, no type of challenge is allowed, ever. Your shitter's ego got bruised and you want the leviathan nerfed into not even being able to oneshot so it can be another "oh no I got hit, let me stim and forget about it" enemy.
The only fair nerf would be to modify the damage so it deals enough explosion damage to oneshot divers not prone at all armor tiers, but not enough to oneshot medium divers if they dive at the right time.
Light sissies have enough movement speed to dodge by zigzagging and never have to worry, but you faggots are retarded and keep running in lines like headless chickens.

>>527950853
They should stay as dangerous as they are on the condition that there's a meaningful respawn delay after taking them out. Better yet, make them a mission objective.

>>527950853
Bad design. Cope.

surely if smokes are some god tier meta pick every lobby will be running grenades or eagle smoke in the coming months right? sneedhead SHOULD buff bot accuracy to encourage smoke use

>>527950070
the in game "leaks" if they were real only showed 4 new enemies the duel blade guys, the summoner which just spawned in a chaff enemy and an unarmored staff overseer. the other squids units will definitely still be around

>le skill issue this is le balanced
Just admit you're a contrarian retard. Even if you think they're difficult they just aren't fun. They genuinely suck to fight against, because it isn't even a fight it's just AT spam and hope you don't die. Instant death != difficulty, DMs learned this in the 70s with "rocks fall you die" dungeon design and I can't believe 50 fucking years later game designers still make this mistake.

To defend this enemy is to be the supreme chugger of swigger semen. You are a newfag tourist coming from LSHD or the trooncord and I am confident in saying that.
Did I mention that this super heavy epic enemy respawns INSTANTLY when killed?

I think the game is actively trying to tell you not to shoot them, and play around them with smoke and shield realy.

>>527951186
Shitters dont even take advantage of free EAT weekends. What makes you think they'll use a no-damage gem even if it worked?

>>527951646

It should die. I'm not interested in playing around swedish ball juggler 9000 while dealing with 100 husks trying to finger but hole and elevated overseers with max 3 dimension movement.

A single zap killed an entire horde.

>>527951752
the smoke! IT DOES NOTHING!

Honestly as cursed as it might sound, Leviathans are good design poor practice

>Actively encourage you to take cover
>Encourage you into back alleys where EVERY single illuminate unit gets hard countered
>Forces players that would just constantly run and out range the faction to actually get close

>>527952221
Why not? Frenchies eat snails, swedes eat rotten fish, americans eat kraft singles. I'd rather eat a brainless sea creature especially since they taste so good. They even look like chestnuts a little. Also the grenade fucking sucks.

>>527952528
I think players assumed we would get an ac-130 first

>>527951752
What we could really use are inflatable helldiver decoys like MGS5 has for these kinds of situations. But that would be too kino for swiggers.

>>527952743
Decoy is basically shield gen or any green, but I totally get what you're saying.

>>527952720
Yeah like that heavily armed Pelican gunship there was concept art floating around for? Would have been a really cool DSS effect actually.

Leviathans would be fine if they weren't constantly present in a mission with the modifer. Imagine how fucking annoying it'd be to have an earthquake going off constantly. They should spawn at a set interval with like 6 blotting the sky and then fuck off and come back again at a later time. It'd be a better 'oh shit here they come' instead of 'oh thats a leviathan sniping me and ragdolling me, guess ill prestim'

>>527952528
I think it's killing power should come from its bombs instead of the cannons. keep it an omni present threat but have it only kill shitters who can't be bothered to look up

lobby doko

you guys are such difficulty elitists, some people enjoy more chill experiences I play 5 frequently

>>527952991
Honestly I wish it just had the harvester beams. That way you can tell where the shots are coming from, and can draw a direct LOS to see how to block it.

Maybe an off color beam though, because all the blue on screen really makes it hard to read what the fuck is shooting me.

>>527952817
To expand on what I was saying about decoys, it could be a grenade gadget not a gem. It doesnt matter if it dies in one hit, if it can pull aggro for even a few seconds, it would be very useful in the right hands.

>>527951186
They should because right now there's no reason to take many of the utility or defensive options to any front really. Smoke in particular, aside from needing a reason to pick it, also needs a significant AoE buff because it doesn't cover a large enough area to let you hide in it or to use it as a disengage tool.

Rolling vacations have been implemented during the summer to ensure that our content releases remain steady.

We at Arrowhead always try to find a balance between our employees and players needs and we hope to satisfy all this summer.

Of course I'm a contrarian, I fucking hate reddit opinions and the general consensus of casual players that refuse to adapt.
You faggots always want others to pre-digest things for you so they are easy and simple, you never find the spine or critical thinking skills required to adapt and improve on your own, all you do is cry and cry until corpos bend the knee, which is both based and pathetic.

The leviathans are a non-issue, but you keep shitting and pissing because "OMG le unfair oneshots with a bazillion HP and they keep respawning AND I'M FORCED TO FIGHT THEM BECAUSE I WANT TO FIGHT THEM!!!"
>you can bring shields
>you can kill them
>you can dodge their attacks
>you aren't forced to do any of these things and you'll still be able to complete the mission without dying and without using stealth
As if them being in the mission even makes a difference when the faction is so piss easy it can't do anything to fight back.
>"b-b-but I just don't like them ok?!? Because they keep oneshotting me and taking forever to die bweeeeeh!!"

Just admit you are a casual shitter, why do you have to say shit like "they aren't difficult, just annoying and boring!" everyone competent knows you are a casual nigger, you aren't fooling anyone except people like you.

This angry guy is taking about how illuminate are all weak wo leviathans but they're the hardest faction by far for me in diff 4-6, their spawn rates are very high and when they get the zombie hordes + the mortars + the ship + the armored overseers + the light things going all at once it's a harder challenge for me then bugs or bots at 5

Had a ship of Theseus moment where I joined a squad and everyone left because of the leviathans, then they left and got replaced by other guys as well. Squad of Theseus

>>527954162

You know what you signed up for, and you know you can make them nerf and buff everything by shitting and pissing yourself, keep doing it, I don't mind. I'm just calling you out for being a casual. If the leviathans get nerfed or not, I genuinely don't care, because to me they are non-issues.

>just let us make the medium pen rifles just out right better then the light pen ones
only the liberators variants having access to drum mags was an obvious balance choice otherwise the tendy and ajudicator would just outright better options than them, which they already kinda are but at least the liberators now have a niche

Spent an entire mission shooting down every gunship I saw and all I could think of was what the fuck is the HMG shooting to make it so effective at downing heavily armored aircraft

AC bros, how do you kill tanks?

>>527957095
I dunno. Lib conc feels like a direct upgrade to tendy now that you can just min max the fuck outta the ergo and recoil.

It feels like shot pattern is the most important stat right now.

>>527957194
You now remember when the HMG needed 3 full mags to down a single gunship.

>>527957194
either the bots are only plating their dropships in untreated steel, or the HMG is shooting 14.5mm or above under 20mm

>>527957291
I don't remember this but that sounds awful

You now remember when the sky would paint itself red with lights on gunships maps.

>>527957194
In order to fly, even a 'heavily armored' aircraft will not be very heavily armored. The HMG fires a .50 BMG equivalent round and while not ideal for anti aircraft would certainly be able to take down aircraft like helicopters.

>>527957194
Attack aircraft can't really be heavily armored because it'll weigh too much.

>>527953450
Its pretty fun to have a side-option that locks down virtually anything you look at with just two pellets. Its stun is also long enough to load half the tube again, throw a stratagem, whatever, so its great against bugs and squids to an extent. The flechettes are just OK. The medium penetration is nice but I find it takes too many point blank shells to deal with most medium enemies so it tends to be ammo hungry. The talon or another strong secondary has helped me here. Being able to choose ammo types for both tubes would be based.
