>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.

Bug divers are all bitches

Bot cities soon bros

Second for SEAF Chan

>This game is far too easy. This meta build just ruins everything. What? No, I wont change my loadout. Why would I make myself weaker? Anyway, heres a list of changes how I would gut player power across the board and make everyone weaker.

>>528432929
Classic SEAF, can't even count to three.

bugs are too easy
bugs have always been too easy
>b-but bots is too easy
I agree bots need to be made utterly brutal too
this shit ain't helldivers

Phat leandiver ass!

How many weapons have you leveled to max level? The grind feels very steep to me.

>basedjak posting

>>528433309

I'm gonna rape that leandiver ass!!!

>>528432907
There is super copium inside your stims anon.

>>528433309
8 on max and 4 over lvl20

>>528385005
It's a case of them trying to cram too much into one enemy and its design becomes a jack of all trades mess. They need to decide if they want leviathans to be a hazard or an active harasser
>Hazard; multiple on the map at once, create no entry zones beneath them as they bombard everything below. Can be avoided, can be shot down but no real point because they respawn quickly and have 15k health
>Harass: Effectively a slow moving sniper, fewer on the map, much lower health. Actively searches for targets. Peek, break wing, reload, peek, hit same spot, down. Not psychic. Target light can be followed back to the source like gunships
Currently, they're floating psychic snipers with 15k health and wallhacks.

>>528433309
All the ones I wanted to but I'm all out of interesting ones
Once I reach level 20 I just spam in progress eradicate/blitz then immediately return to ship once I hop on the pelican. There isn't really a reason those final 5 levels need to take so god damn long especially since the best upgrades are locked behind it usually

Notice how he doesnt have an argument

game is balans, it's not too eas-

>>528432779 (OP)
Meh, after so much squid diving I'm more than fine with casual bug stomping. When are we going to get another bot MO though?

hopefully bot megacities will be in the next MO, maybe even a spectacular automaton invasion of SE. at least that's the hopium I be huffin

My entire sense of self-worth comes from playing hard video games. Please Arrowhead, nerf everything so I feel like I'm not a waste of life.

Hate to say id rather kill illuminate than nids tho. Pred strain is fun, but not 4 days fun.

>>528433309
the grind just get steep in the 20-25 range for some fucking reason, like you blink and your gun is lvl 20, and after that it's climbing a cliff wall with only your pinkies

>>528434227
RR needs a nerf

>>528434227
500 arguably could use a nerf as well, but I dunno how they'd do it.
Maybe just not give 500 an extra charge
That's kinda the one thing that makes it obscenely stronger than every equivalent red.

Bots arent fun unless the swedish nigger (aka swigger) JOEL (hes a hack btw) tells me to dive on bot planets for a MO (its railroaded and impossible to win)
No, I'm not gonna dive on bot planets unless the very entity that I hate tells me to do it.

>>528434315
Other bugs are like shooting fish in a barrel

>>528434227
MG and Gatling sentries.

>>528434621
this, every vanilla bug op is a 90 minute exercise in spawnkills, it's disgusting

>>528434369
>Gets one less rocket to tighten it's ammo economy down to 4 rockets per resupply
>Does eat tier damage so it needs team work to efficiently kill factory striders
Would that fix it?

Personally I'm glad the community kept alexus and piles from turning the sequel to a fucking 4 player party game into ARMA Jr. Just because you build your game on a jank fucked up engine doesn't mean the game has to be like ARMA

>>528434534
>Disguising Learned Helplessness as being cool.

>>528434462
Orbital gas mogs it.

>>528434784
I think so yes, but you don't even need to nerf it quite down to EAT level, just away from the "any bodyshot will do" mentality that comes with 3200dmg+extras.

>>528434784
If it deals the same damage as EAT, then why not just bring EAT instead?

>>528434826
>Orbi gas
Doesn't kill heavies, wouldn't even consider it same type. Orbi gas is a chaff cc.

>>528433309
>mfw I leveled all weapons and i can finally start playing the game.

>>528434805
the semi-milsim aspects are what made it unique
it's you that wants to turn the game into something it's not
look at a game called ace combat assault horizon for a reference on success of removing semi milsim aspects even though only assholes ever complained about them

>>528433831
Not sure how much better or worse bot Megacities would be than regular bots. Bot Drops are going to have to be completely re-pathed because the skyscrapers would stop them from making direct approaches outside of the big avenues. Fights would be super easy to disengage from since you just have to round a few corners and the only things that could catch up are Troopers and Rocket Striders. Factory Striders probably wouldn't work at all, same with Katyusha Tanks (Bug Megacities were already quite boring since Bile Titans and Bile Spewers became literal non-issues).

But on the flip side, if the only spawners were Bulk Fabricators it would increase the challenge, which would be awesome. My wet dream would be if the bots have their own versions of the Illuminate Overships and Leviathans, just massive constructions built solely for the purpose of invading and laying siege to Megacities. Let us use the Planetary Defense Cannons to shoot down moving targets and the like.

>>528434753
holy based
i just want to be loved bros

>>528434227
Eruptor
Crossbow
Stims
Stamina booster
Meth stim booster
RR
armor damage mitigation
Resupply
Siege-ready

And that just the tip of the necessary nerf iceberg

The balance is in a good state.
You can play high difficulties any way you want and still beat it if you are good enough.
Our equipment does not need nerfs, the enemies dont need buffs - you have simply gotten good enough at the game to know what to do in every situation imaginable.
You are the 1% that are too good at the game.

Go play for fun, or go find something new to do.

I posted it again award, and I will fucking keep going until soon becomes now.

>>528434954
Because you're carrying five eats on you at all times. You are basically THE DUDE for anything AT reliant. You also get more rockets everytime you pick up ammo. They'd just be different ways of brining AT up to the player.

What we have now is fine. I don't want any more autism, I don't want to shoot chargers thrice in the face with a RR for it to die, I don't want to have to encircle every single annihilator tank to RR it directly in the back for it to explode or otherwise be invulnerable to damage. I don't want your faggy vision of the game to ever become reality.

>>528435067
Please explain to me why an anti-tank rocket launcher wouldn't be effective against a bile titan or a charger in your "semi-milsim", or why a bomb with a 500kg weight should only have an effective blast radius of like 20 meters when that shit would have like at least 5x the radius in real life? After all, milsim games are supposed to imitate reality, right?

>>528435246
Did a double take reading the MO. I'm a believer now

>>528435067
Uniquely shit.
Everytime they try and cater to milsim fags the game gets worse, case in point leviathans.

>>528436212
That's quite the coincidence. It might actually be happening holy shit

The only thing I wanted was for them to fix the Railgun after they turned it into a bb gun post its first nerf. Every complaint I ever posted about the game was done with the sole purpose of pushing my RG buff agenda, even if it ruined Helldivers for the rest of you. Now that the RG is in a good place I have no reason to care, have fun tearing yourselves apart.

This. I still don't why people don't play darktide or drg if they don't like the realistic feeling gameplay aspects

You think about sucking cocks in a dress a lot, anon. Is there something you want to tell us?

>>528436825
Helldivers 2 is a game about guns too. Do you really think people play to throw the red pokeball?

>>528436732
Gotcha, then why having an anti-tank rocket shot on your unarmored parts (the belly/bile sacs) wouldn't kill a bug? Also you conveniently forgot to answer that part about the 500kg bomb, so I'm reminding you of that because it's easy to miss after all.

you can get mission complete even if everyone dies and you leave 75% of the map red and do no subobjectives, so that statistic is a bit misleading

HD2 is so much stronger when it taps into those CS/BF/RB6 vibes. Game should be about aim and tactics, not spam. ADHD niggers should be culled at a cold wall not catered to.

Hey milsim faggots, wanta explain why this literall senzu bean in a syringe is in your hardcore milsim like game? Yeah didn't think so, sit down and shut up.

>>528437510
i think it takes some of the fun out of it, even though some people find it rewarding to be able to do that. there are a few mission types i dont play anymore because the objectives are too easy to wipe out. command bunker would be one of the coolest mission types if you couldnt laser them all from 150 meters away. just make it hellbomb only and give them some variance in elevation akin to orbital cannons so you have to actually push and engage with it.

Nah fuck off.
Just up the fire-rate and fix the handling.
The issue is having to fight the handling AND the average players' ADHD-tendencies of fidgeting in place.

>>528440874
Those were official.
They've stealth-nerfed it with the change to sidearm-handling making the stim-pistol handle the same as a- whatever that heavy pen sidearm is called.
They've also reduced the rate of fire, which they did not include in patchnotes. Chances are they're not aware of it themselves and just accidently overwrote things because these faggots don't have any version-control nor quality control.

>>528440973
Yet they don't.

Stop pretending it isn't.

you can't convince that all of this shitposting doesn't stem from the same guy doing it for hours and hours on end

>>528438281
should be nerfed to healing only one limb and a fixed amount of health
also the 2 stim limit was perfect, that should just be the d10 standard

>>528441359
Then you're lying through your teeth.
It was nerfed prior to that. They nerfed the handling after they buffed the handling following the 60-day-thing.

>>528441296
I'm saying if it didn't have that sway, aim gods could easily keep the team alive so that's why it's there

>>528439520
why wouldn't you be selfish in this broken niggerfied "community" lmao

>>528440984
you can make squad fun without making it a walking simulator from point to point
niggas rly think that aspect is what makes it more realistic as if soldiers go alone without mobility like the fucking ukraine war

>>528441516
the handling was never changed until heart of democracy. before that the SPREAD was decreased from 30 to 8. sway and spread aren't the same thing.

>>528441550
It's still wildly inaccurate some 15meters out, not to mention the travel-time.
Also you understand the sway is only present during the first 3 seconds of coming to a stop?
Supposed "aim gods" can already keep the team alive, yet they don't. Curious.

>>528441481
>2 stim limit
>still bring the supply pack and light medic armor

>>528441836
supply pack should simply not give stims, ammo and grenades are enough

>>528441131
>The issue is having to fight the handling AND the average players' ADHD-tendencies of fidgeting in place.
Guided would fix that

>>528441786
And the rate of fire?

>>528439396
Morphine is just a very strong painkiller, not a stimulant like Pervitin
I think that anon meant that stims just make Helldivers numb to all pain instead of healing anything

>>528441917
>ammo and grenades are enough
Supply packs should not give that either, only refill your hunger and thirst meters.

>>528441917
Supply pack should be equalized and split between a medic bag strategem and an ammo bag strat. Make it carry double for both and it'll be fine

>>528441917
>"I will not be happy until every single stratagem and gun becomes completely non-functional and useless. No I don't play the game, I've never bought it!"

>>528439936
Ragebait is code for "You made a statement I cant refute so Im going to attack you instead of the argument"

>>528442150
Not the worst solution. Medic backpack has been datamined too from what I know.

Some pubby refused to share his supply pack with me today, so I blew his brains out with Verdcit before boarding the Pelican.

>>528441760
A good SL keeps an armored vehicle around but most don't bother since on some servers people get really autistic about vehicle claims and throw hissy fits. Transports are an option but seems kinda wasteful to just use it for personal squad transport when you can fit nearly two whole squads in one.

>>528442237
some people like to think they have a point when they actually dont and then get offended when they're called a retard/troon

>>528442419
>retard/troon
Thats another code for "You made a statement I cant refute so Im going to attack you instead of the argument"

>>528442228
I want failure to be a realistic outcome rather than just what happens when the whole squad brought mines to a low visibility shithole. So long as winning is easy it's also inconsequential and pointless.

>>528442509
not really, retard/troon-kun

>>528442250
It'd fix people stacking the backpack as well. While having stims out the ass might make you a god, you still will want ammo

>code
holy WOMAN moment

>>528442343
I did this once. Some chinese player never once shared his backpack even when he stuck around with everyone. When we called resupply the fucker double dipped so I blew his brains out and kicked him, and took his pack

>>528442510
And for you, difficulty and failure is just "making every single piece of equipment completely useless so you can't kill anything", gotcha.

Nerfs will happen, prepare your anus.

And I want failure to be a realistic outcome due to facing overwhelming enemy numbers. Not because I'm firing beanbags instead of bullets because some faggot's idea of a challenge comes from having shit for weapons.

>>528442596
Thats a good example of the code being used in real time! Thank you, anon.

>>528442782
Not openly.
They've been stealth nerfing more and more since the 60 day patch.
Like people aren't even aware vitality booster got nerfed into the ground.

>>528442782
I doubt that. They'd rather introduce D11 with buffed enemies at this point.

Unless you're good. Success is meant to go to the select few, it cannot be distributed evenly.
>>528442852
We need both permanent reductions in player power and better offense/defense/health/armor on most enemies. i.e. roll back the disastrous 60 day patch.

>>528442782
any nerfs they do to us should come with the leviathan nerfs and buffs to some red strategems to stop a potential melty from the community

A supplytroon randomly came up and gave me ammo. So I shot them and dumped their supply pack into deep water.

Alexus, I will permit you this one player nerf of your choice. In exchange, you will release the APC and rework the leviathan into a single massive monster that is even more dangerous, takes even more damage to kill but will never respawn.

>>528443223
This never happened

>>528443146
>Precision, smoke, gas, and EMS strike gets buff

Smoke is definitely salted for a buff

I got all the warbonds I truly wanted, but now I got 1k again and I'm unsure as to what to get. I almost want Truth Enforces cause the shotgun looks neat, but hardly worth an entire warbond for, imo.

I don't expect someone to resupply me just because they have a supply pack. It's their stratagem and they can use it however they want.
BUT, if that meganigger starts eating all the fucking resupplies without topping off the rest of the squad he's 100% getting put down.

>>528443293
Quick. Hide the kids.

>>528443597
I'll take that as a yes.

>>528442401
this is the problem, having to rely on a squad-leader and other shit as the claim for 'cooperation'.
its up to the devs to fix it
not only is the squad-leader spawnpoint system not realistic, its also retarded
there are, in fact, many circumstances in war where there is heavy combat and heavy defense, rather than ukrainian guerrilla fighting. you can make a gamemode where the only objective is defending a compound, and players are tightly knit and commonly fighting in close quarters combat. you can make a breakthrough gamemode like in battlefield as well. at the same time, this would all be "realistic" and be an efficient usage of squad's realistic movement and gunplay. this can all involve cooperation, such as fortifications and supply management; just without having to rely on another person to set correct spawn points to literally play the game, which is extremely noob unfriendly.

still the same as release with 70 rounds a minute
here's a random ass video from september 22nd, 3 days after it was released.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeIlwDRzuQA
Not only does it show the stat card that has the same rate of fire listed as it does now, at 40 seconds he fires the stim pistol 3 times at its maximum rate of fire, which is the same as it is today. I even compared it side to side in this webm, first in real time and then slowed to 25%. I even included a button capture of my mouse to show I'm spamming that trigger to get the highest rate of fire. The third shot in his video is slightly delayed because he gets staggered by the hunter, but the time between the first and second shot is down to the frame identical.

The rate of fire is the same as it always was.

>>528443782
>De-escalator is SSS tier on bots, for now

>>528444085
It can kill Factory Striders

>>528442237
'code' is leftyspeak for 'i got btfo'd so now im going to completely misrepresent your entire argument and attack strawmen to soothe my feefees.' Literal tranny behavior.

>>528444251
>It can kill Factory Striders
it has 4 pen of course it can kill factory striders. the fucking flag can kill factory striders

>>528444085
It wipes patrols out with few shots and can 2 tap hulks (while stunning them so it's very safe), but it is also supposedly bugged, so who knows if this will last

>>528444251
>It can kill Factory Striders
So does every other support weapon

>>528443696
It does in fact get wasted because supplying from a Supply Pack only restores half of your ammunition, where you would get all your ammunition back from the called in Resupply (if you have the ship upgrade). Your friend is effectively turning eight resupplies of ammunition into four.

>>528444080
I honestly do not trust this supposed proof.
It feels like it shoots slower. So it shoots slower.

Your proof does not allign with my experience.

>>528443065
So hold on, let me get this straight, if your definition of increasing difficulty is to nerf every weapon so it would require skill to beat D10 because enemies are now harder to kill... If I were to say, completely ignore those enemies and use my jump pack to run from bug nest to bug nest and throw red stratagems on bug holes... Then that would make me good at the game since I would clear objectives on D10, right?

>>528444251
The saber is pretty good at killing voteless if you slash their legs

>>528444475
criminal it doesn't get the buffs of superior packaging remember when that upgrade came out and didn't fucking work, and then only worked if the person that had it unlocked called resupply, fucking swedes

>>528444281
Let me run your post through my translator real quick *Beep boop blip* Here we go. Lets see... It says
>"You made a statement I cant refute so Im going to attack you instead of the argument"

>>528444683
Wrong. In my version of the game there would be enemies that jump you as you try to cheese the challenge with your gay jump pack.

>>528444149
doesn't work because of the map being too big and the squadleader system.
conquest is already a relatively boring gamemode, the only justification for conquest in other games is the fact their vehicles can always be used to get from place to place. rarely are you in a vehicle in squad other than the very beginning of the game, and if your squad point dies or your squad leader is retarded you are guaranteed to walk. with scarce amount of vehicles or far apart spawnpoints, big maps are not fun. combining realism other difficult things such as large maps, scarce resources and RNG teammates is not a good idea to me, and its not even that realistic.
also invasion maps are are 16x16 and arent linear which means people can just flank and make the battle asymmetrical, making invasion redundant.

You wanna shoot stuff anon? I wanna shoot stuff.

De-escalator is probably my favorite "experience" support weapons.
Good ammo economy, reloading it feels satisfying, shooting it feels satisfying.
Doesn't matter if the TTK is low, it's just fun to use.

>>528444812
Because you made the jump pack only have one charge for the entire mission I take it?

>>528434227

>>528444992
There's no triple down. I give you a (you) for the effort, but ultimately insist that my gut feeling trumps your video.

>>528444929
Agreed, I hope they make it more consistent so it doesn't have those volleys that just kind of do nothing but as it stands it's a nice fun addition

Helldivers feels at odds with itself. it both wants to be a 40k inspired future setting with fun sci-fi weaponry but it also wants to use contemporary or cold war era weapons and gun autism.
also the viper commandos armor need much thicker limbs. If im gonna have helldivers in a jungle fight sort of setting I want them roided up like an 80s bodybuilder.

>>528444929
Shitty reload makes you careful with ammo so you never run out (no supply pack or siege ready needed). I always run it with jump pack so that I can dive bomb, it's very effective.

Are you sure they aren't ricocheting?

>>528443429
>I almost want Truth Enforces cause the shotgun looks neat
I got it for the shotty, and its worthless. the SMG is alright but on the whole I regret buying the warbond.
I like servants of freedom. the ultimatum is useful, the double edged sickle is a fun weapon tho it works well with the freedom flame's armor more than its own. the suicide armor is fun but not particularly useful. I dont really use the grenades ever.
I like masters of ceremony for the pure fun factor but it shouldve been a free warbond, nothing in it is actually very useful.

there is always going to be a meta
just make different scenarios require different types of metas
and make the player have to train and adapt in that meta, dont make the good things easy to use, but dont make them linear and impossible to get skilled with either.
for example, snipers can be OP in many games because of the high skill ceiling to use it.

Helldivers aren't normal guys, they're the best of the worst, outfitted with ludicrous weaponry, training, and indoctrination that put things like regular SEAF soldiers to shame despite not being anywhere near a proper super soldier.

it is a poorly-modernized rifle made to accept a larger magazine, resulting in an expensive, unreliable and heavy-as-shit (awful ergo, slightly better now) gun with terrible recoil (still the case). It is very much just a space M14.
The FG-42 is an overengineered, fully automatic intermediate caliber wunderwaffe meant for paratroopers (light, short, easy to carry). The only thing it has in common with the amendment is the side-mounted magazine. By that logic the amendment is also a Sten or an MP18.

the FG-42 fired full sized 8mm Mauser, I don't think it was ever trialed to fire the Kurz since the muzzle device tamed the round well enough and the whole point of the requirement was to combine the existing bolt action rifle, SMG and LMG into a one-size-fits-all autorifle that didn't need to be dropped in a separate ordnance can

I think all it needs is flame immunity and a bigger health pool like the tesla.

I only play with my friends and I dont' wanna tell them how to play the game.

>>528449919
mg and gatling sentries have more than enough cqc power and are hard to beat in that category
the flame sentry should just be good at setting things on fire and for that it needs better effective range

>>528449473
absolutely 100% needs flame immunity. it kills itself with its on fire more than any enemy kills it

>Bots
>Chaff applies pressure from a distance and can be very deadly if they catch you around a corner but their mediums (all dev types and zerkers) are the weakest in the game, able to be one shot with most weapons and ok aim, their heavies are too slow and too easy to hit to put too much of a threat on the player and thus support the chaff, but are often instanteniously deadly if they manage to hit you (tanks, FS and flame hulks.), Most difficult secondary objectives, easiest to break spawners.
>Bugs
>Chaff is a mixed bag of total pushovers and 2 shot machines, their mediums (commanders and hive guard) pose little threat but bolster the effectiveness of the chaff by disrupting your massacre, plus, both their chaff and mediums can all call for backup, and their heavies (Charger, behemoth, impaler and BT) serve a similar but even greater role as the mediums, since they demand attention, if you don't focus them, they can easily kill you, but if you do focus them the chaff are free to get into killing range; since they end up spamming their deadly and demanding heavies the most out of other factions, they feel the hardest.
>B1Squids
>Their chaff is tanky, but are very weak if unsupported, so in lower Ds where their mediums spawn less, they don't do much; their mediums (Mobs, interlopers and overseers) are the real danger of the faction, and are an inversion of the usual way factions work, as squid mediums are supported by their chaff instead of the other way around, making them very dangerous unless dealt with fast, and even then, they spawn as much as any other medium unit; their heavies are super situational, the harvesters have very exploitable weak points and leviathans have randomly generated ai and will wander around like senile retards

I'm enjoying the liberated penetrator against illuminate. Leveling up the liberator carbine was how I learned to stop worrying and love magdumping on full auto, and I haven't looked back since.

It does matter if the penetrator only does 60 damage if you're just planned on emptying the whole magazine right then and there anyway.

>>528449919
>CQC champ
It does the job of all the other sentries, killing chaff, except worse, due to its incapability of killing chaff like terminid Warriors or Hive Guard in a quick way, same as Hunters or Pouncers.
Its better on Voteless, but thats it.

Even if they reduce the CD to that of the MG Sentry, there's no reason why I shouldn't use something that can kill chaff and also shoot at chaff past 5 meters.
MG Sentries can engage flying targets too, so Shriekers or Gunships can get fucked by them, and if unfortunate, Stingrays too.

It feels like it requires too much work and positioning to be "worthwhile", and even then, you're better off using the ballistic sentries, or the arc tower.

AH in their infinite wisdom decided to put a giant fucking curve at levels 20-25. Weapon exp goes from 2400 to a whopping fucking 5400. Keep in mind the highest exp you can get for Bots/Bugs is 2400 exp per mission meaning you need to complete a single operation for 1 level and that is assuming you get good RNG to reach 2400 exp each mission. Squids are the worst faction since they only give a pitiful 1700 at their best because they are missing side objectives to reach 2400 like SAM Sites.

Punisher is good because it's got constant uptime.

>>528449473
Flame immunity and it should be the one sentry that can go toe to toe with a heavy. Basically nothing should be able to kill it through close combat, it should only go away once it uses up all its fuel, and if that's too strong then just increase its cooldown time. That's really the only way a flame turret makes sense, it's a lingering area denial weapon just like all other fire stratagems, and a charger shouldn't be able to casually plow through the thing.

>>528449006
You are correct. I was under the incorrect impression that it would be using the kurz ammunition given its role but I now remember it is also reputed to kick like a mule, making full auto very difficult to use.
It was, effectively, a fancy semi-auto rifle with a panic button in form of the full auto mode. honestly could be something fun in helldivers.

They are secondary weapons. You should be wielding your secondary at most ~10% of the time. Having a small mag is not a problem if all you need is to evaporate whatever stalker is on your ass so you can reload your primary.

non-utility secondary weapon niches go as follow, in order of most to least important:
Senator: Senator
AAAAAAAAA KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT: Verdict, Talon; relatively high DPS, very spammable weapons, AP3
Chaff clear when your primary or support isn't great for that; redeemer, crisper, peacemaker

AT emplacement is more broken anyway. One random bringing it and you are basically just killing the few bots on the ground. Bot became boring because on top of them having storm trooper aim, I get queue with 3 Chinese teammates running RR/AT emplacement and wipe out every single drop.

for any real armor you're probably not gonna be using nades because everyone has more effective AT so it's basically tailored toward medium-heavies or chaff and i dont see why you wouldnt have a bunch of stuff to deal with that already.

The Grenade emplacement would probably be better if it ditched the shield and just spun around really fast while also having a just a massive amount of grenades to spam at chaff.

You can use these to block out the paths and the AI will be aggroed to it. Even Harvesters will try to beam it first before even aggroing to your team and it's surprisingly durable too. Always throw these in the front near the doorways

>>528449473
Others had already said HP/armor buffs, but what it really needs is stagger so chaff can't just walk right up and surround it.
Flame weapons in general are pretty terrible because they suck at the one thing they are supposed to excel at; win in close quarters.
It needs to be close to deal damage, but even at close range it does not kill quickly enough or hold back its targets (stagger) to stop anything but the weakest enemies, necessitating constant back-diving (which sets your feet on fire).

Maybe if they actually finally added some content in this live service slop instead of solely shitting out warbonds and superstore kikery, people would play the fucking squids even just for fun and not only when some railroaded bullshit tells them to - and even that's not enough nowadays with how fucking boring squids are.

>>528464359
It's amazing how AH got perfect visuals on flamethrowers with the leaking fuel needing to be ignited and all and then they give it the stats of a dogshit video game flamethrower. Rising Storm 1 is the only game so far that has captured the performance of a flamethrower perfectly.

Cursed idea I had but this game really needs something to discourage and counter solo shitters.
Not only because it's too easy to run off and solo everything,
it's honestly the best answer because it's way more efficient.

My idea

>bots spawn dogs that ragdoll you everytime they hit you
>they have SUPER low Hp though, and do like 10 damage per jump
>if you get caught by it though you're done, and they can easilly out run light armor

>Squids
>tentacle monster or date rape monster that mind controls you
>walks up to you slowly while you're stunned
>you lose all aggro and you are immune to damage
>if it touches you, you get immediately turned into a voteless and die

>Terminids
>Just spawn stalker swarms

If you run stealth and stagger you're good.
but you need to be on the ball and build around it if you wanna solo.
It's a lot easier to stick with a buddy.

ragdoll is the only thing that prevents people from just spamming stims, honestly it'd be the easiest way to implement an enemy that's fair to fight and countered by team play.

>>528481539
Ragdoll spam is dishonest.

>>528481461
I'd rather see more objectives, less resources, or dire circumstances.

Like no reinforcements/resupply. No orbital strategems. Reduced mission timer.

Or no extract mission chains. You board pelican and immediately head to the next operation without refills

>>528481784
Mission chains could be interesting, though the issue is that it would cause people to just not take the handful of stratagems with limited use (which already are rarely used) but just having reinforcements limited to a whole campaign could work well.

Kinda wish there was some sort of Elite Deep Dive from DRG in Helldivers, a weekly premade 3 mission chain with shared resources you have to do in one sitting. Though with things like actually being more premade, maybe terrain, camps etc. being set by devs manually, which would also allow for way more customized missions since they could make any number of side missions being the requirement for completing it or even completely replace the main mission itself.
Like for example making stopping a convoy mandatory part or even making a mission where you have to stop 3 convoys but that's the main objective.
Something like that wouldn't take more than an hour to set up once they make a system for it and it'd add a returning factor to have a weekly campaign that is manually made thus allowing for various gimmicks and maybe competing with other players due to everyone having the same seed.

>bring MG and gun dog to a squid missions because I have had it UP TO HERE with the fucking voteless spam
>beat the entire lobby combined for kills
I will kill all squiggers. I will behead squiggers. I will smash squigger skulls into the pavement. I am become death, the destroyer of all squiggers.

But seriously it's fun when you get a mission where you just never let off the trigger. And I really hate how Voteless seem to spawn in all directions all the time because it feels like they're literally always just around the corner, even the ones you just checked.

>>528483597
>gun dog

Leviathans and fleshmobs are dogshit enemies because it goes against the tend most illuminate had. Low Hp, High damage.

>>528484030
If you're suggesting I get the gas one, I don't have it unlocked yet.

>>528484070
they exist to soak your ammo so the lighter enemies don't just get nuked first.
Problem is that they're not fun to fight, and they're a bitch to CC without gas.
They basically turn the game into kite divers unless you have the DPS check.

>Game is balanced around AC
>"we will never buff it"
>give it flak
>buff the shit outta flak and shrapnel
>illuminates main weakness is flak
>they feel like shit to fight with everything but flak

go figure.
Makes sense why old chargers were hard countered by AC too, when nothing else had the means to kill them from behind due to the insane durable percentage their butt had.

>>528484113
>he doesn't know

>>528484169
God forbid all enemies just don't crumple if you point at them

>>528484537
fleshmobs aren't tough, they just act erratically in melee. Sometimes they can turn on a dime. Sometimes that rush past. Sometimes gas messes them up. Sometimes it doesn't.

>>528481612

>Uhhhhh they aren't hard, just annoying
This is the cope of every shitter that leads the game in the neutered state now

>>528484537
God forbid all enemies die in a reasonable amount of time.
God forbid they have any depth to them besides "Shoot at it until it dies"

you could spawn 6 alphas instead of a flesh pound and that'd be more fun to fight. Granted they spawn like 6 fleshpounds, which is like 36 alphas. However that's still more fun to fight because they respect stagger, you can headshot them, they can get stunned, you can melee them.

Fleshpounds are just an ammo waster. Like they clearly exist to be ignored, but the tools to do that are pretty mediocre.
They just aren't well thought out, and aliens is effectively just running around with a jetpack until you complete missions.

Like if they want this game to turn into l4d that's fine, but it's also not balanced around that.

Gun dog, Zap dog, Hellbomb backpack, De-escalator, Pyro grenades, Seeker grenades all give inflated kill counts because of de-synch bugs.
Basically what the other anon was trying to tell you is that you're a humongous faggot for caring about kill counts in janky swedish COOP game in the first place.

>>528484990
But alpha is different for bug compared to what fleshmob does for the squid. Bug is also a mess right now after heavy need so they are piss easy, even more than before. Squid lacks somewhat durable units to displace the enemies so the fleshmob serve as that. They are like berserker for the bot side (before bots got neutered at least)

daily reminder to fug the bugs.

Coming from HD1 where the AC was 'ok', I am so happy to be able to use it properly in HD2. Plus I rarely see people use it anymore anyway, and as we get more and more tools the OP power level (or not) of any one weapon diminishes from the perspective of a night of gaming. Except the shock GL, I see that fucker everywhere and its bonkers.

>>528485257
kek i meant the hd2 webms
but that'll do, pig

How's AC flak on titan butt, btw?

>>528485274
I'd rather take the berzerkers too honestly.
Like illuminate just feel like they designed the faction to be ignored.
Like you never see eradicate squid missions, and the flag mission doesn't give a shit of how many squids are left in the area.
Or how leviathans just endlessly spawn, and you're intended to throw down smoke to stop them from shooting you.
It's like they genuinely want us to just play kite divers. Which that's A-Okay.
Problem is that the faction just kinda spreads you out all the time, so one guy gets railed, or everyone just gets bogged by squids 24/7. The city maps were fine because they were tightly packed and players usually got corralled into a choke.

I dunno.
It'd just be nice if the game was more clear with how you're supposed to do shit.

new content I think, and people are losing their mind over support weapons that can kill heavies.

>>528485670
Technically squids had an eradicate mission back on super earth, repel invasion was just eradicate on a bigger map

>>528486148
Repel was more a blitz than anything.

and killing shit didn't actually matter, the best way to do that mission was just run around in circles blowing up ships.

i dont run away from bug breaches to complete objectives because i like shooting bugs

>>528485654
It breaks it quickly but it doesn't kill quickly.

The AC is such an annoying middle ground for me. I like using it but I never feel like I'm better served with it compared to the RR or Quasar or whatever. I can't tell if it's the weapon or my own shit aim but it just never puts the heavies down quickly enough. Fragging mediums with it is pretty fun on bugs though.

Recently started using EATs, is it normal for it to switch to your secondary after firing one?

>>528487172
think it swaps to last used weapon

>>528486638
Not so hot on the AC normally but it's my fav on predditor dives, it rapes everything but titans. Thought flak on the underside would be a cheeky way to kill them, oh well just gotta pack a rocket sentry

>>528484990
>Like if they want this game to turn into l4d that's fine
Are you referencing the Tank? Even the tank in L4D had more depth.

>itt scrubs get filtered by a slower charger with no armor
Anything with explosive damage rapes it.

>>528488278
And by that, I mean even the plasma pistol. Like 4 full charge plasma pistol shots kills it. It can also shoot down stingrays in 2 or 3 shots.

>>528485583

>>528487910
No the zombie shit, and like endless waves that just endless bog you with stuff to shoot. Like the game actively discourages you from killing things because how much it just burns your resources.
Fleshpounds are just the epitome of that

Reminder that a fleshmob without arms can only damage you with its charge attack, which without any arms barely does damage to you. You can also stun it during a charge and it will lose tracking, and while breaking a head does trigger a frenzy attack even if it is stunned, it won't track you during that frenzy.

Not to make it first person, but to create an endless horizon by making your head the camera. I don't know if there's a word for it.
