>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.

is this still possible? i read in the patch notes that the cannon now does "appropriate" damage to leviathans and etc

>>527966741
This isn't the first time the armor modeler fucked up something because of their retarded autism. The light scout armor reskin was turned into a ugly blue/orange color scheme instead of the white/orange like the rest of the armor.

Swedish arrogance will kill this game.

>>527972664
This would have been so much better than that orange and blue colour scheme. Honestly have no idea what possessed them to make it those colours instead of orange and white kino.

>>527972519
what? why would they ever touch it? it's a giant fuck-off cannon

players don't know what they want.
even if arrowhead is making blunders upon blunders, they are right for not nerfing leviathans.

>>527972664

>game going fine

they really cant make it so the game waits a bit before adding another faggot in?

>>527972992
>players don't know what they want.
Im pretty sure we dont like being ragdolled by an incredibly damage spongy enemy that instantly respawns if it dies.
And this is the part where you say "Lower the difficulty"

>>527972664
Also, majority of the light/med armor sets have skintight pants despite the concept art having the more realistic baggy stuff that military pants usually are. It looks fucking terrible. I swear their armor modeler along with their sound engineer are the most dogshit people working there not including the coding monkeys

>>527972992
What's challenging about it?

>>527973225
>skintight pants
>Shows image where theres no skintight pants

>>527973174
maybe after you play more squids,
you know instead of crying on online forum and spamming other factions because your ego tells you that squids are scawwie because they kill you when you play like dogshit in the open with bad loadouts and no teammates trying to solonigger and thinking you can get away with it,
then you'll figure out that maybe the issue is that you have not a single clue how to play squids and you need to learn it by trial and error just like how you learned to deal with the other two factions.

>>527973447
it challenges you not to play like a fucking idiot

>>527973508
>Unironically defending Arrowheads game design
>then you'll figure out that maybe the issue is
Yeah, the issue is I had to exist near one of 3 leviathan camping extract and got ragdolled 5 times in a row before it finally killed me.

What are some other noob trap weapons?

>>527973673
This is basically the best thing to bring to squids, and only squids.

>>527973756
How so?

>>527973628
80% of helldivers players fail this challenge
>>527973669
the fault lies with you.
why didn't you take cover?
why did you have a dogshit loadout?
where's your shield relay?
where's your anti-tank?
where are your teammates?
why aren't you diving when the big green light is on you?
it's all your fault.

>>527973174
According to the nerftroon, you're supposed to
>bring smoke grenades and orbital smoke
>bring AT to kill all four of the leviathans
>hide behind a rock that won't protect you
>lay there helplessly as fleshmobs charge you because otherwise you'll aggro the leviathan
>ignore the leviathans
>use more AT than it takes to kill a leviathan to disable all the wings (which makes it leave, despawn and spawn a new one instantly lmao)
>just have FUN and enjoy getting ragdolled and one shot because its still hilarious after the 100th time
>physically dodge the cannon shots that travel at mach 4
Am i missing anything?

>>527973756
>>527973874
it really isn't.
it has no range and flying overseers tear you a new asshole, and you deal 0 damage to fleshmobs.
if i wanted to bring a gun that kills voteless and grounded overseers slowly, i'd bring the secondary crisper.

>>527973894
yeah you forgot to add how you're supposed to suck AH's dick and thank them afterwards

>>527972992
>players get used to the enemy and figure out how to beat it
every enemy on the left was nerfed to the dirt anon, we're looking at another gunship situation

lower the difficulty

>>527973673
breaker incel diary

>>527973894
ask me how i know that you haven't tried any of these in-game

>>527973874
It ignores the overseer armor, and has a bit of stagger for the voteless, even damage harvesters with it with respectable TTK on all. Biggest bonus of all is that you will never run out of ammo when you get lost and separated from your squad among the buildings.

>>527973876
what's even the point of the lights if the shoot just half a second after they appear?

>>527974132
you don't own the game so neither have you
as for me i do play the game and i'm not brain damaged enough to bring a stratagem that doesn't work or attempt your theorycrafted retarded tactics

>>527972948
maybe they dont want the healthiest enemy in the game to get 1shot idk

>>527974083
how were they nerfed again?
please remind me

>>527973876
>why didn't you take cover?
I took cover from one but theyre circling the extract
>why did you have a dogshit loadout?
Why do i need to dedicate my entire loadout for one enemy
>where's your shield relay?
So it can take 3 hits max before it dies?
>where's your anti-tank?
I believe I already answered this
>where are your teammates?
Getting ragdolled
>why aren't you diving when the big green light is on you?
This isnt Dark souls. You dont get i-frames when jumping.
So your solution for leviathans is to dedicate your entire loadout and time to killing the enemy that takes time to kill and just instantly respawns?

Look, I havnt played on D3 since I first got the game, but on highter difficulties things are a little different.

>>527974221
i understand that it's hard to play with 2.5 seconds of brain lag
maybe you should lower the difficulty

>>527974263
>maybe [retarded statement]
thanks for your input, dear LSHD user!

>>527973628
Ah, so that's why you think they're tough.

Keep in mind. Arrowhead does not communicate with each other. So for all we know, some of the devs dont know the Leviathan got buffed.

>>527974337
>I took cover from one but theyre circling the extract
unfortunate, they usually go in a straight line when i play
>Why do i need to dedicate my entire loadout for one enemy
because the rest of the squid roster is a joke and can be dealt with your primary and secondary
>So it can take 3 hits max before it dies?
it can infinitely tank 1 leviathan
>This isnt Dark souls. You dont get i-frames when jumping.
does he know?

>>527973476
There is a clearly visible difference between the two, and you know it.

i guess it's my fault for engaging ragebait and expect an honest answer

>>527974629
>literally all lies
impressively dishonest

remember that nerftroons are butthurt CP spamming literal pajeet niggers and if they aren't doing it for free because they're mindbroken & seething at being called out then they're Sony shills sent to 'sapport' Arrowhead

Squidbabies getting filtered by the trash spam 4 enemy faction :(((

>>527974810
speaking of which

>>527974629
>unfortunate, they usually go in a straight line when i play
Like I said, I havnt played D3 since I got the game so I dont know what the game is like for you
>because the rest of the squid roster is a joke and can be dealt with your primary and secondary
So because a voteless can be easily killed that means leviathans can exist the way they do? I dont see how those two things are related.
>it can infinitely tank 1 leviathan
Ah, so you dont play the game.
>does he know?
Yes, I know the game doesnt have I-frames. If you played the game you'd know this.

>>527974708
That aint skintight

>Stingray
The best enemy in the game
>Leviathan
The worst enemy in the game

How does sweden do it?

>>527974476
the fuck is LSHD man what an asshole you are just tell me if it's possible or not dumb bitch

>>527974810
It's amazing how easy it is to see them. They have this weird style of talking that no one talks like here. No shit there was a jeet that was spamming scat art a week ago because they couldn't handle fake leaks.

Holy shit double edge is so fun on squids, you just KEEP shooting

>>527974810
The cp spamming is the AI-jeet being mindbroken by people telling him to stop posting his sloppa.

Nerf Leviathans. They're unkillable and I can't avoid their shots.
Nerf Stingrays. They're too fast and I can't avoid their shots.
Nerf Fleshmobs. They're too tanky and I can't avoid their charges.
Nerf Elevated Overseers. They're too tanky and I can't avoid their shots.
Nerf Overseers. They're too tanky and I can't avoid their attacks.
Nerf Voteless. They're too many and I can't kill all of them.

Just delete the Leviathan. Its a retarded enemy at its core.

>>527975279
It should be always AP4 and it shouldn't set you on fire.

Also delete the Crescent Overseer. No one wants even more ragdoll enemies that you can't even dodge.

>Give everyone a free smoke strat
>It doesnt stop leviathans from shooting you
Was this an unironic beta test because Sweden themselves dont know or are they just taking the piss now?

>>527975005
i feel bad for you
projection is rough, you'll grow out of it

>>527975846
>Suddenly wants to back out of the argument
Hows it feel to be so thoroughly btfo'd?

>>527974271
for reinforced scout striders they increased minimum range (but reduced maximum) and reduced the amount that would spawn, added choreographed attacks had them pause in between each rocket fired, shooting at them now makes them inaccurate (previously this wasn't the case, making them deadly snipers)
barrager tanks had received the biggest of nerfs with having a front and back having ap 3 weak points that dealt 200% damage to its health pool
Impaler had its armor reduced to ap 4 and the radius of its stab reduced to nothing

what if we did the thing we've done to most every heavy enemy that had few or no effective weakpoints to anything but heavy AT and proliferate lighter penetration weakpoints on the Leviathan that don't have to be opened by heavy AT first, like individually destructible turrets at AP4-3 which ultimately collateral the fins they're attached to or AP3 hover units like the existing precedent set by bot AP3 gunship engines back when their chassis was still AP4?

>>527974810
The cp spammer scatjeet is actually some amorphous poster I don't like.

Honestly, solo players should get 16 stratagem slots. How is it fair that everything in a mission is the same except stratagems available? It just makes it harder to play this alone.

Nerf scavengers. They're invisible and teleport behind you and flinch you when you're shooting your rocket and grenade
Nerf hunters. They're unkillable and they instant kill 100-0 combo you that cannot be avoided
Nerf hive guards. They're a stupid gear check that shouldn't be in the game.
Nerf brood commanders. You take off their head and they become immortal and still aimbot kill you.
Nerf chargers, they can teleport and turn on a dime
Nerf impalers, they can attack you from anywhere and are invisible
Nerf titans, they are way too tanky.
Nerf stalkers. they guarantee ragdoll you when they attack, bad design.
Nerf spewers. way too tanky and their spit instakills you, mortar is homing too, impossible to avoid.
Nerf shriekers. there are way too many of them at once that is impossible to handle.

>>527975419

>Hulk "weak spot"

>>527976452
Are you retarded ?

>HE'S CHIMPING
>reddit space
>HE'S SHITTING
>reddit space
>HE'S ABOUT TO RAPEJEET OUT AAAAAAAAAA

Nerf troopers, they aimbot you randomly and are completely silent
Nerf rocket striders, they shouldn't be able to ragdoll you, the rocket does way too much damage, no enemy should instakill you
Nerf devastators, too tanky and their animation prevents you from headshotting them
Nerf shield devs, they are constantly shooting and it's impossible to attack them directly
Nerf rocket devs, they have way too much ammo and constantly ragdoll you from across the map.
Nerf berserkers, too tanky and kill you instantly, bad design.
Nerf gunships, stupid gear check that shouldn't be in the game, not a fun enemy, just annoying.
Nerf hulks. they turn and move way too fast, impossible to set up a kill
Nerf tanks, they have way too long range, tanks supposed to be a close range powerhouse that are taken out with rockets from range.
Nerf barrager tanks, no enemy should be able to ragdoll you and kill you while you can't see it.
Nerf factory striders, too tanky and impossible to flank, also resists explosives so stratagems do fuckall. bad design.

It's wild how a dude who has never played the game he dickrides has the frontal lobe of a fish and the emotional fitness of a toddler

Do you guys think squid SAM sites were removed because they would trivialize leviathans or because they would bug out from stingrays zooming past?

>>527975832
uhh that can't be true because the nerftroon that doesn't play the game insists that smokes are OP and do work against them

>>527976758
Both most likely

>>527976728
How do you respond without sounding mad?

>>527976596

Fuck off AH cocksucker, it's just bad design

527976663
Good morning saar

>>527976936
you can kill them with a revolver

>>527975160
the stingray was originally a bot enemy, we had an MO in the past that had the Illuminate take an abandoned Automaton factory for unknown reasons. also when you tag it you say, "bots" which implies that the code for the enemy was ripped off a bot enemy

>>527976936
lower the difficulty

>>527976862
I go solo to grab the secondary objectives while my buddies sweep the main ones. Sometimes I even set up on stuff like the missile so that I can start it once they're done grabbing the codes. :^)

>>527976728
Ill tell you why. Solotrannies cant actually play the game. If theres a drop on the objective they literally die the second they start getting shot at and run away and they abuse the limited enemy spawn mechanic. But if the objective is something like "raise the flag" they will simply not do it. I've seen it happen multiple times.
So why do they need the supply pack? They unironically cant ration their grenades and ammo in an intelligent manner.

I had solo tranny in recent game. 150. He called resupply to himself multiple time. Including at end of bliz. So we had no suplies at extraction. He wasnt even good. He got lot of kills ocasionally. But most of objectives were cleared others. PoI were cleared by others. I have no idea what he was doing. Just running around and killing squids. It would have been better if didn't kill so many enemies. At least then it would have been easier for rest of us. If army of squids were running after him.
Just mindblowing how bad almost all of solotrannies are

Squid MO. As they are right now. It's kinda anoying to play against them. It makes people mad.
Should have been multi stage MO. Where you had objectives like kill X number of bots to fix seaf sam sites in squid planets. Then throw in missions where you have to activate seaf sam sites. But first you need to get codes and targeting up.
Then seaf sam will blow up leviathans.
But nah. Week long soul crushing squid MO.

it'd be more bearable if they had a predictable firing pattern. Basically have them fire a barrage and then a moment to recharge.

>>527979359
I'd still prefer if leviathans were more like bombers instead of snipers, that way they'd be more like a weather effect you could choose to bother killing.

Remove everything after "about" and you solve the whiny shitter mystery. It's insane how people can't solve everything in this game with 3 other people, 20 reinforcements and 16 stratagems

>>527979901

Cool story bro.

>>527982107
i believe this prophecy to come true.

>>527982053
Bruisers made everyone butthurt tho. Still can't understand it, you had to play pretty carefully at the time anyways so checking the horizon for Bruisers was easy. Rocket Chickens were much more of a nuisance imho, stopped using the AC solely because of them

>this kills the nerftranny

>>527982461
turns out that getting ragdolled by lasers through cover isn't fun, nor is getting ragdolled out of said cover and then flailing on the ground as the hulk kills you

>>527982603
You're already playing with overpowered weapons though? Do you really need another 60 days patch and HP/damage rebalance?

>>527982461
Cannon bruiser were way easier because their cannons couldn't one hit you and would always knock you down, causing every followup shot to miss.
They litterally couln't burst you down.
Meanwhile the current rocket salvo can burst you down, it can ragdol you into the air and it can >impact you. And its gun can also burst you down.

hdg if you could add a stratagem to the game what would you add? I would like to see Eagle EMP Strikes. I think I would get use out of a faster more focused blast than the orbital. Just give me at least 2 shots before resupply. What do you guys want to see? I don't care if it's unbelievable meme shit I just want to see your ideas.

>>527982734
Bruisers were weak af in that regard compared to the rocket spam from Rocket Devastators and Gunships

>>527982754
Yep. And I want third-person sights and a durable damage buff. Chop chop.

>>527981662

Oh and more mags per ammo box. 1 mag per pickup simply will not do.

>>527982905
Absolutely, it's just general ragdolling fatigue. Do we really need a hulk variant with a fucking bunker turret?

>>527983117
squids require more attention and less unga bunga which can be less fun when you just want to eat shit and wreck shit. bugs are do whatever as long as it works, bots are pop heads and bring AT, but squids swarm a lot and then you got their air support (mostly mildly annoying/require you to focus on them to stop trouble). squids ain't my favorite but i enjoy them to break up playing the other 2 to death.

>>527983283

I still don't understand why the Railgun isn't an energy weapon. AMR is mogged so hard. At least Railgun isn't king of "the meta" like it was a few months ago when everyone wouldn't shut up about it.

>>527984012
Both and also because Joel doesn't know how to do his job over a year in.

Yes, even the Democracy Officer if you want that too.

>>527982878
Something like the GLe wall but a bit more V shaped, with 2 stalwart mounted on the sides and maybe even an EAT to grab attached on the inside off the wall.

>>527985106
not only i agree with this but also default armor is great too, i remember when 90% of weapons were straight up useless and it brings a tear to my eyes to bring whatever i want and it just WORKS

Is there any reason to not use the 2x/1.5 scopes for everything? CQC optics are messy or have too low of a zoom. 4x/10x have too much zoom and are pointless for the ergo cost.

>>527984474
I rate it a "I kept getting juggled and/or killed by leviathans from 200+m away"/10
I don't shy away from the MOs... but I understand why people don't want to go onto the squid front

I hate squids. I hate them.

I never want to see them again. I want them eradicated, and replaced with cultists. Im like John Warhammer from warhammer who hated undead because they were too boring to fight. I feel the same, because squids are too boring. I get mad because of how tired I get.

>>527985782
No, it's why I went out of my way to unlock these sights on everything.

femsquids owe me sex

>>527976862
My preferred method for solo in a group is to handle small objectives that are out of the way, while also being able to still provide fire support to the team. This basically relies on a specific loadout and an open map with long sightlines.
Bots are the only real faction that works well for this because the AT emplacement and WASP/SPEAR are great for long-distance engagements. AT emplacement for taking out striders/ships, and the WASP for dev hordes or the SPEAR for smaller heavies like hulks or tanks.

Liberty, I hate squids. My grandfather hated them too, even before they destroyed his mech.
Do you think I'd be out here in the colonies without good reason?
Yes - Super Earth needs a strong frontier.
No - Super Earth doesn't need The Meridian Wormhole at her gates.
So, that's why I'm here. Hell commander of the Helldivers. To bring Freedom to stinking squids.
Revenge? That'll be good too.
This war against the Grand Fleet remnants won't last long.
And when it's done, I've got plans.
This is about Managed Democracy. Managed Democracy in Cyberstan.
Going down that road means dealing with all our foes.
The heartless automatons. The fascist bugs. The mysterious intentions of the autocrats. The dissidents and bugdivers too.
After all, the man who liberates Cyberstan liberates the galaxy.
And one day... I will be a super private.

>>527981662
Give bots a six-legged Strider that's noticeably bigger. It doesn't have factory production, but instead it's a walking artillery platform that can bombard helldivers from anywhere on the map.

Every patrol/fortress has a specific light bot unit that carries a mortar. When engaging with divers, the bot will fire a mortar flare that will arc to the player's position before stopping midair, signaling to the artillery strider to begin bombardment at that spot after 10 seconds.

>>527983390
I agree up to the Leviathan. The Leviathan is just bad.
>Just hide, bro!
Hard to do when they spawn on normal maps where there's very little cover and you get juggled and/or blasted to bits. And when you do kill them, which itself takes a lot more effort to do? They spawn back in almost immediately.

But they do work on city tiles.

I will now run to empty open spaces with no cover

With exception for a couple of weapons, The Dominator and Eruptor, which are best built to maximize ergonomics, no.

I noticed the zap dogs arcs are unique. It will fork off the initial target into multiple enemies and still chain as opposed to normal arc weapons which one have a single bolt. Its how it can wipe out an entire horde in a single shot.

Helldivers C-01 Update when?

Been having a lot of fun with a full laser loadout on squiggers. Scythe, talon, laser cannon, rover, orbital laser. Just need one more laser themed stratagem to round it out.

>>527988668
Just don't aim down and you'll be fine. Flames bounce if they hit the ground so you can get it to go further, but you need to play around terrain. Pairs real well with the jetpack. Genuinely my favourite primary, but it's pretty shit unless it's against bugs.

>>527985782
4x and ironsights are the only 2 scopes you should ever put on a gun.
1.5/2x offer nothing over irons while tanking your ergo and 10x is way to much zoom, if you want to aim use 4x or don't bother.
if it doesn't have irons but you still want ergo reflex mk2 is okay.

>>527989445
>1.5/2x offer nothing over irons
Yeah, I'm sure the exact perfect amount of zoom and a clear sight picture are nothing.
>if you want to aim use 4x
You won't be using its highest zoom level most of the time so at that point why not just use the 2x and save yourself some ergo?

Im suffering Squid fatigue.... Something about squids just doesnt have that "feel good' when you kill them. Its missing that something.
Bots go "CLANK" when they die
Bugs go "SCREEEEE"
Squids go.... "squish" I guess?

>all these nerds using first person view
lol
lmao

>>527990043
You might just be burnt out from having to fight squids for a few days straight.
I get it. Happens to everyone, on every front. You can only take so much of a faction's bull before getting sick of it.
Take a break, fight another front, clear your minds. Then break the squids until they cry out for the god that abandoned them to Managed Democracy.

>>527984204
>I still don't understand why the Railgun isn't an energy weapon

Because it's kinetic

>>527990160
Why wouldn't you use it? It's powerful

>>527990043
>Something about squids just doesnt have that "feel good' when you kill them.
agreed, bots explode and break apart, bugs get squashed and pop, squigs just kinda go limp and fall down
also they're very quiet and it barely feels like anything mowing down a whole crowd. the only thing that feels good to kill is the tripods and fleshmobs imo

>>527990043
For me it's the lack of wacky ragdolling. You just don't see harvesters fly the same way bile titans or factory striders do.

>>527984204
It shoots a metal projectile.

>>527989890
>perfect zoom
They just feel off to me, id rather have the ergo and use irons the 3 times you need to actually aim during a mission.

Yeah hilariously you don't need that level of pen for bots and the stagger doesn't help either. HMG on bugs though goes crazy. Heaps of durable damage, heaps of stagger. Just pair it with a primary that can turn quick and take out light armoured jumpers like the punisher.

>>527991972
Bot weakpoints are actually weak. The giant glowing asshole of a bug isn't weak and sometimes they're fine without their head. It's honestly stagger that's most important for bugs.

>>527994908
too much emphasis on the chest that makes the armor look silly

>>527995084
Megacity planets have 2.3 million HP versus regular planets having 1million, so you need to more than double all the involved numbers to get a similar comparison to how we're doing versus normal planets. For instance, right now the Blob doing around 1.625% raw liberation per hour on a 0.65% decay rate Megacity planet would equate to around 3.75% liberation on a 1.5% decay rate normal planet.

Overall, the real problem here is that Joel is expecting us to liberate the equivalent of five planets, where all of them started out with a 3% decay rate. But since we're all getting our numbers from the Companion website, it isn't communicated very clearly to us.

>>527995572

Portable Hellbomb alone makes Servants of Freedom the best choice. Borderline Justice isn't bad, but unless like like high damage low ROF weapons that force you to aim good and make every shot count, you won't have much fun with it.

Thoughts one the banana revolver and the deadeye?

I've see 4 leviathans at the time somewhat commonly, and they can all aggro you at once, but I simply run behind rocks and wait a bit for their pathing to make it impossible to intercept me and then move in a way that makes it impossible to hit me. And yes, this can be done on barren biomes with basically little cover.

Yeah remember when they slowed down content releases to increase QA? I remember that shit, and how we still have gamebreaking bugs every patch. At least for right now it seems like we're in a decent place, the skiddivers meta wasn't so bad, the torsodivers arc almost made me quit the game.

It's not strong, but it's reliable. Which is really solid for a secondary. I've killed so many of those fucking purple lightbulb guys with the thing.
It's also just amazing for sweeping an area where you can't see enemies and getting kills on things trying to hide in the fog, like pred hunters.

I think we just need MORE lite units like that. Thing will be a beast against the new aliens.

>>528002307
I think we need more ap4 units where using an RR is overkill.

>>528002508
Hulks.
Chargers used to be that before the flamethrower nerf.
Unno maybe we'll get some like low ground walker harvester.

>>528001729
NTA but a disposable rocket launcher that goes into your grenade slot that's essentially a Thermite sidegrade (AP5 with low-ish durable to encourage aiming for weakspots but kills instantly) would be cool.
>inb4 EAT
EAT is fucking huge, it's more like RPG-28 than RPG-18/22 or M72 LAW, even if it's technically an AT4 clone (and thus, not a rocket launcher but a recoiless gun), it's still upsized by quite a bit. It's fittingly a Support Weapon because it's a heavy anti-tank weapon. I want one of these shitty dinky light AT weapons they used to give to people to make them feel better about dying to tanks.

new squid city reminds me a lot of helldivers 1.
You find objectives, plan out your attack and you go in and go out.

Jet pack has been doing work for me for that. Feels like mobility is so important, makes me wonder how they can justify heavy armor at this point lol.

>>528003053
>how they can justify heavy armor at this point
By using a jet pack.

When will we get into squids' home planet to get at their land their people their blood

I dunno, even with jetpack doesn't seem viable.
At most you can use support pack and try and hunker down on an objective. But you just get slowed down so much it's impossible to really move or do anything useful.

Not without stamina you won't.

>>528003192

>>528003053
>>528003273
I've been trying out heavy armor since I mostly played with med/light. You can definitely dodge a lot of shit without abusing experimental infusion, but you have to manage your stamina a bit.
Worst part of being slow as fuck is repositioning for a better angle, more time taken to reach objectives also sucks.

>>528003534
you can still swing melee weapons without stamina

think they'll fix it?

>>528003336
Gas Grenades and Dog Breath are redundant, you can replace the grenade with Incendiary for better results.
Stalwart is better than MG-43 if you're carrying Eruptor, it deletes shields and Fleshmobs like they're nothing and the ability to reload while moving keeps you from getting bogged down.
OPS over Eagle 500kg since you don't have more than one Eagle stratagem, it has a more lenient cooldown which lets you use it for blowing up Warp Ships and breaking down colony walls on low cooldown.
AT Emplacement isn't necessary unless there are Leviathans, Harvesters can be killed with AP3 fire to the joints and EAT would serve you better anyway since it doesn't tie you down to a fixed location (and you can stick the beacon to a Fleshmob for free damage).

Lobby doko later

>>528003273
Issue of gameplay and restrictions of game. You get points from clearing objectives. Not from fighting. Fighting is bad thing to do several case. More you kill. More enemies can spawn.
Mobility is king. Ability to clear objectives fast as possible is key. Just make sure you have layout to fight when ever you have to.
It would be so much diffrent if there was need to stick toghetor or game could handle more enemies.

God I hate and love how good the sterilizer is on squids. Like feels borderline OP, and I don't have to gas my friends to make it viable.

I just had a real pleasant game bros.

Everyone took manageable damage and didn't spam stims so I got a lot of millage on the stim pistol
Felt real good friends. Only had one mishap with someone's gattling sawing someone's head off, but overall it was a great time.

>>528004798
You can call down an EAT and leg them. There's also extraneous EATs, MG-43s and Railguns lying all over the colony tileset you could pick up and use. You can also find the AT guy on your team and stick to them. But in general Harvesters are not high on the spawn appearance list, so I don't often go out of my way to bring a counter against them. It's more important to have reliable weapons to use against Fleshmobs and Overseers.

>>528004954
Yeah. That's what I'm seeing in my experience. You Do. Not. Fight. Squids.
You just cc them, get to objectives and get out.
It's cool, but could use more down time and tools to break from them and retreat..

Are the Superstore-exclusive Extra Padding heavy and light armors worth it?

>>528005189
I wonder if dev figured this out and that's why fleshmobs can turn so well when charging. If yulou let them get close at you. You need to deal with them.
Most important thing is to kill observers fast. And you can have more breathing room.
And throw down sentries when ever possible. Eventually sentry will draw squid drop and you get breathing room

>>528005251
Both are unique and interesting. The heavy one doesn't really have a use case unless they buff heavy armors in some way, but the light one is arguably the best light armor in the game.

>>528005251
Heavy extra padding is good. But as new cop armour works, it's way better for now. Might change in near future. It's better to take those rather than extra padding. And that's from someone who used medium padding all the time

>>528003329
>prevent evacuation
it would be too kino for this world

>>528005167
In my experience.

Watcher killing >>>>>>> Overseer killing >>> flier Killing > zombie CC > harvester CC > flesh mob CC

Single shot stuff like slugger, deadeye, senator is so fucking important on squids it's unreal. Everything else you kite and or CC. Like thank fuck for this MO, because I wouldn't realize how easy squids are to counter with a basic bitch hallway.

>There are hellsisters that wear "extra padding"
Flatty! Washboard!

>>528005251
Fortified Commando is ugly as fuck, I wouldn't get it.
Light Gunner is up to you, it doesn't look bad but the only reason to get it is if you do a lot of long distance running. Though since the commissar armor from Truth Enforcers got a slight armor rating buff, you could go with that instead if you like using the radar perk.

>>528005635
I mean, the Eradicator set from the Superstore gives 50% explosive resistance with the same armor rating, so that's even better. Most of the time if you take enough limb/chest damage to break something, you're going to stim it away immediately anyway.

>>528005878
Perk is broken or lying. It reduces damage of every limb+chest by 25%.
Head takes full damage still.
But becouse way damage is calculated I'm helldivers. This is more effective than extra padding and only slightly worse then fortified against explosives. Basically even when prone.
Only issue is head.

Yeah I've been pretty anti green, but flame sentry is a monster for squid killing. Same with Tesla just due to the high health pool.

Use smoke on objectives you need to stand on, or if you see the green light.
It will immediately lose interest the moment you walk into smoke.

If you're behind buildings and not on the street they never fuck with you. Unless you're in like the center of a raised platform.

EMS for harvesters
Jetpack + thermite for quick POI sniping.
Brap thrower to just completely shut down voteless.
Slugger to snipe overseers.

Sterilizer buys a lot of space, and I'm contemplating bringing smoke more just to break aggro. Shield gen though is strong as well because it acts as a massive distraction.

>>528007656
WASP. It just sorta deals with everything. Clears Overseers with one shot, mobs in 4, can help thin out Harvesters now with their main body health rebalance. 2 shots for stingrays. It's just sorta the Swiss army knife against illuminate as long as someone else can mop up the voteless.

>Arrowhead adds cultist squids

It only shows enemies, and even then only if you're close enough to cause them to spawn. It can be handy to know how many enemies you have to kill at an objective before actually arriving there.

>>528008195
Fleshmobs would be fine with better spawning logic/pathfinding.

Maybe? It's not like there's a lot of complaints if its a good fun design like the Interloper with its minor issue of the dangerzone being sometimes blocked by building.

>>528009290
fuck auto correct, but yeah only thing id change with fleshmobs is that taking out their legs should cripple them

>>528009290
This
Otherwise we'd have even glassier bots.
The main issue I see is that there isn't really much variety to make kiting fun.

They're a boring sack of nothing that is unsatisfying and tiresome to kill

>>528009385
Yeah I think everyone agrees being able to cc them without having to buy a warbond would be a good step to improving them.

>>528009401
>Otherwise we'd have even glassier bots.
How? The Overseers and Harvesters are both WAY tankier than bugs OR bots. Like I really don't have an issue with Fleshmobs, but the problem is that the rest of their units are also tanky AND hard to hit (overseers prance all over the place and the harvester joints move along with their legs while being pretty thin).

>>528009670
I'd understand this sentiment better if harvesters then anything other than turn the battlefield into a rave

>>528009561
I think the reason they're immune to cc is because harvesters just fold to stuns like EMS. If the entire faction got locked down by EMS, it'd just be a stun grenade faction.
Issue is that the only option ATM is gas, and it's not viable to throw gas orbital down to deal with flesh pounds.
Granted you can just kill them with shrapnel guns, but they kinda feel like old AT where it was only solvable with select support weapons.

>>528009670
Overseers are actually relatively very squishy and easy to kill. A revolver can the reliably one tap them at nearly any distance.

Harvesters can be stun nades and killed with sabers. They're a joke if they have nothing supporting them.
You just tap the chin off and pick a weak point. Think you can one tap them now with eats too. Haven't tried it lately tho.

>>528009776
The stun is inconsistent because they can't be stunned ouf of a charge, and start charging the second they spot you.

>>528009776
players shouldn't be one man armies capable of dealing with every threat by themselves. if someone the team is the fleshmob guy than someone else should clear harvesters and vice versa hell bugs work this way too. It's the reason bots are so weak

>>528007656
Deadeye with 4x
Talon or Peacemaker
Impact grenade
Stalwart, Eagle Strafe, 500kg, Orbital airburst shell
I could of taken eagle cluster bomb but I like having one destroyer stratagem incase my eagle is rearming, going for deadeye headshots is just satisfying as fuck.

>>528010035
The problem with this is that people tried it, but relying on a guy to be the X guy never works.
They won't do their job, and you have access to the same tools they have. If you need like extra AT it'd be better if two people brought eat, than one guy bring recoiless and eat.

Same goes with squids.
You need to bring tools for everything

>>528010058
>Impact grenade
Havent seen that taken in a while, what's that for?

>>528010341
Mostly for voteless crowds, though I do use them on tripods and fleshmobs. Not sure how effective they are but they feel like they are useful.

What?

i noticed that if you get the traitor penalty the arty that tries to kill you cant hit you as long as you stay moving in the jeep

>>528009229
If you're running a supply pack then you'll do well with the HMG/MMG and some chaff nades. If you're brave enough to have a staring contest with the Harvesters you can even buzsaw their legs pretty reliably.

>>528010939
Dude just spontaneously combusted. It happens, don't worry about it.

I want the leviathan cannons to be changed into harvesters lasers and instead of the bombs the blue circles under them actually just glass the area below them

>>528009401
>glassier bots
What? Squids are surprisingly tanky, even the Voteless sometimes end up taking way more hits than Troopers would. Hell, Devastators feel way more glassy than Overseers, as the former can be taken out by a single headshot with most weapons.

Just before the squid MO when I was on a bot planet. The bubble shield is my default bot backpack, it's SO good at preventing chip damage from range, which is huge on bots.

>>528022982
been trying to use it but it's simply not that powerful and one-handed primaries are ass
plus the FPV is fucky, even if you get used to seeing everything through the voyeur slit the shield places itself incorrectly and blocks your view often

>>528025603
The ballistic shield at the very least should take up your support weapon slot instead of the back slot. Having a guard dog backup with your shield equipped is pure, thematic kino

>>528024358
Democracy Protects armor is mandatory for squids. I don't know what to tell you other than that.

I think the directional shield would be good if you could switch it on and off with a decaying charge level.
So the regular energy shield is always on, but absorbs less damage.
The ballistic shield absorbs much more damage, but you have to hold it up.
Then the directional shield is a sort of middle ground where it's not as restrictive as the ballistic shield, but absorbs more damage than the bubble shield.

I'm having something that feels like a lag issue. Aim not tracking, sometimes mouse isn't responding at all. Started this week, diving on squid planets.
Anyone else have this issue, and what should I check?

>>528025445

>>528026983
> The ballistic shield absorbs much more damage, but you have to hold it up.

What made Ballistic Shield far more superior is the fact it protects your left flank or your back when repositioning AND Ballistic Shield is incredibly durable for blocking melees.


The only good thing about directional shield is that, you can block one shots like leviathan or cannon turrets then only had to wait a few second before its up again.


Ballistic Shield breaks fast if it blocks explosions and high impact damage, forcing you to wait the long ass cooldown

>>528028426
it's one of the best AT stratagems in the game and allows you to use a lot of "bad" loadouts without relying on your teammates to take out every single heavy

>>528018587
I wish these were good.

>>528028608
>"bad" loadouts
please clarify

>>528028426
You can kill 3 heavies with it, you can close titan hole with it. Your teammates can grab and use it on emergency, if you die and need AT on respawn. Just call down the EAT. It’s an amazing supplemental AT but you should take RR if you’re the designated AT guy otherwise everyone fucking love EAT just fucking spam that shit off cooldown before a fight or on objective

did they give eats some warmup time before you can fire because it seems like i have to wait ~3 full seconds before it'll shoot

>>528028990
it's the time your character spends extending the tube of the launcher, prepping it to fire
the same animation delay exists if you holster the EAT as well, where you collapse the tube back again to stow it
yea it's pretty annoying

>>528028780
Wanna bring a flame sentry, the One True Flag and a smoke strike? Well at least with the EAT you can still contribute pop a few heavies in every fight.

>>528028780
Arc Thrower, GL, MMG, Stalwart, weapons that can't really deal with heavies in a timely fashion (GL excluded against some enemies). Objectively shitty because you'll become reliant on your teammates. Reds can help but it only goes so far whereas EATs have excellent uptime and allows you to kill multiple heavies at any range. It's just extremely versatile.
Plus, your teammates can make use of them too.

>>528028426
How new

>>528028426
They're very good if you lose your kit and can hit bugs in the weakspots for 1-shot kills. You can also tag chargers with the pod so you can theoretically kill 3 of them with one drop too. It's a lot of fun trying to land it. As a side note: from my days in Helldivers 1 I always called them Eat Its, because of their designation: EAT-17. Just feels wrong to me hearing people call 'em Eats for me.

The bug where stingrays won't show up when you solodive is still not fixed.
