>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.

AI is dogshit and actively made our lives worse

>

>>528799735
Agreed. AI content is Automaton socialist slop. Supporting AI is inherently supporting a collectivist, culturally dead society. No longer is man exceptional, no longer is the individual celebrated, no longer is the labor and vision of men considered to be of value. Everything is content. Nothing is new, just blended up and regurgitated digital slop.

AI is not the beginning of the end; that was techbro Net 3.0 culture. But it is the logical next step. It will effectively kill smaller independents as the only ones able to keep up with AI in terms of human-made content will be massive production studios that will still use AI as much as they can.

The dream of Super Earth will never come to pass.

>>528800691
well said fren
I kinda wanna bomb compute farms

why does every general out there require a constantly vigilant group of bodyguards to fend off derailing scum suckers? why do jannies never help?

>>528801146
Because the janitors don't actually partake in the boards that they moderate, and thus they have no clue when something is a troll and when it's a troll making false accusations.

>>528800691
Tbh, massive production studios were already slop even before Ai started becoming more mainstream, and even if they weren't using Ai to drown out any potential competition that actually had soul, they were drowning them out with the sheer difference in capital and scale.
Personally, I'm hoping that Ai gets to the point were a single guy with an interesting vision would be able to bring a whole project to life on the scale of what would've taken years of his life or a massive team of animators to do so.
I've seen so many indie projects that put larger studios to shame, and I can only imagine what they could achieve with the tools to level the playing field.

That being said, I just wish there were less bad actors all around, and that we didn't even have to worry about this stuff.

so........ content?

Samefagging every post so you have more replies than the other thread is a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for you.

>>528803085
the other thread sucks dick, staying here

I like ai because it makes artist seethe, maybe I'll feel bad for them once I see anything worth a damn out of the entertainment sector, but until then they can stay getting mogged by actual slop from a machine

yup, the cancertroon is malding

Retreat? but this is the best part.

Discussion about the Warrant:

It's almost an okay secondary weapon, but it's still lacking in a few ways.

1. Being a sidegrade of the Peacemaker, even after its recent buffs, still makes it a bad weapon. At 80 damage per round and a 13 round magazine, it still does less damage per magazine than the Verdict on top of having fewer magazines. Increasing the magazine size from 13 to 16 would probably be enough, and leaving it at 7 spare magazines would be tolerable with that change.

2. The bullets are too slow. Yeah, homing bullets is a nice gimmick, but against moving targets it still does a bad job of landing since they could actually dodge the projectiles, especially if the crosshair isn't placed reasonably on top of the target (which completely negates the entire point of having homing bullets). Even in Unguided mode (which you have to use to shoot at non-chaff targets which may actually have armor to penetrate) the bullets are super slow and can miss even if you fire while the target is right under the crosshairs.

3. Target selection and lock-on range are sub-par. I get that they don't want people to home in on targets from 100 meters away, but with how slow the bullets are and how bad the tracking is, they need all the distance they can to home in on the target. Not being able to lock on to medium and larger enemies also fucking sucks.

4. The homing feature can't be used when sprinting and firing behind you, since it requires aiming to activate the homing mode. This completely defeats one of the entire reasons for having a one-handed weapon, being able to fire behind you without stopping. Makes the gun feel less action-ey and more cumbersome.

They need to bring back shield break on shield devs.
Personally I think it's fine. The gun isn't good for raw DPS where it shines is hitting enemies you simply cannot see.
Which honestly happens way more than you expect.
To the point I start putting flashlight and laser pointer on my guns.

If we ever get a buff to smoke, it will be insanely strong. Even now I like to run it with cowboy armor and eagle smoke, just walk in and kill things before they see me.

Just can't endorse it until they fix the "fix" to overpenning

like why wouldn't you pack literally any of the other four team reload weapons, each of them is way better

>>528805584
On one hand, you can kill Hulks if they stand inside the Eagle Napalm residue long enough. On the other hand, I see bots run through it and give 0 shits about it.

All they had to do was make the flamethrower(s) undisputed kings in close range. Instead, you're gonna set yourself on fire a lot more and end up wasting stims because of that, and the increased chance of something ignoring the fact that you're spraying its face with napalm.
Some stagger on most enemies is all I ask for, or at least more range. Maybe both, fuck it.
Your best use right now is to either hop onto a bug breach and keep spraying everything there until a big 'un comes out and you gotta scram, or finding isolated chargers and bullying them.

Or skip all of that, and throw a fire grenade on the bug breach. Maybe Orbital Gas. Just shooting shit from a distance is better, sadly.
I wish flamethrowers were better.

There would be no community complaning if people didn't like the game they made. Wanting some aspects changed does not make the whole product bad.

>>528806847
Honestly?
For what it does it's mostly fine.
Used it on ayys recently tho in a 2 man, and it was pretty fucking underwhelming.

But in larger groups or in good positioning flamethrower is just a constant stream of damage.
The payoff for using the weapon correctly feels orgasmic honestly, and it just kills every unit in the game with ease.
Hover pack makes it brain dead strong as well.

>>528807432
The preference towards the socialistic, cold, and unfeeling monstrosities that make up the bulk of the Cyberstani Automaton threat instead of your /own people/ by cloaking your disgusting desires in a feeble attempt at besmirching the very values of our beloved and unstoppable Managed Democracy earns you only the title of dissident, soldier.

would have to buff the sterilizer.
honestly if you just want a CC spray user the sterilizer. It doesn't feel like it does a lot of damage on paper, but the effect lasts a good 10 seconds due to "Mk2" gas variant. Which means if you tag something for at least a second you're guaranteeing 300 damage. flamethrower is honestly more of a heavy killer these days.

Reckon we’ll be visiting cyberstan anytime this year?
We know for a fact the devs are playtesting it since there’s people on the planet.
I hope it’s a new biome/ giant fortress planet, but I’m gonna be realistic and expect a megacity reskin instead.

>>528812834
I've always thought one of the voicelines Berserkers have sounds like they're yelling "For Super Earth!". Would be quite a thing if they were Helldivers made to believe that they're the good guys still.

>>528813292
Maybe? My guess is that there's just not much to talk about at the moment.

so is the gunslinger bug only visual or is the armor actually a downgrade over stock right now?

>>528812221
Logic and believability demand it. Genuine androids wouldn't elect to be humanoid. If they even decided to imitate a lifeform they would logically choose be something more versatile, also modular so it can adapt to any environment, i.e. something that can climb, fly, pass through very narrow openings, etc. It also wouldn't be dependent on processed human body fluids. All these points got me convinced that bots are full cyborgs, and any automatons made from the brains of former SE citizens get to choose between serving the collective and having their brains extracted then slam dunked into the bioprocessor by cool bot.

>>528814134

>>528814678
>we are simply the apex
actually we're unusually large descendants of chimp-like creatures which, through immense evolutionary pressure (read: threat of being eaten), learned how to hit nature over the head and deliciously abuse it afterwards
without basic technology we would likely devolve back into that pitiful previous form, like corn

>>528812353
it's pushed because this is how it works in deep rock galactic, totally ignoring the fact poison clouds are very different in deep rock than in helldivers

>>528814134
I genuinely think that the humanoid shape is more versatile than people give it credit for, it's got everything you need attached to a body made for marching, hands for grabbing shit, all the "vitals" stored in a relatively small portion of the body, and the whole thing being relatively all purpose without being overly complex. They also aren't entirely unwilling to make changes, considering things like their remodeled legs.
Also, I wouldn't really call using biofuel being dependent on processed human body fluids the same way I wouldn't call a car that uses biofuel dependent on corn.

>>528814591
Helldivers are recruited and then cloned, to keep the clone gene pool from stagnating.

Cloning them is easier than training more individual helldivers. The tutorial implies they’re poorly trained but even the basic starting cadet has amazing stamina, knows how to operate and reload any (non alien) weapon they come across.

My take is that once you’re recruited, super earth samples your DNA, then the cryo pods in the super destroyer store your backup clones. An entire battleship under the command of a single diver who can die anytime makes no sense.

More people are recruited to provide super earth with more clone templates, each super destroyer is essentially carrying a different breed of helldiver clone.

Tl;dr helldivers are clones with unique flavours.

>>528815168
The way it works in DRG is good because the gas is purely an obstacle to the player that can be exploded to ignite a horde, the bugs don't take damage from the gas as far as I can tell.
However, it also works on the sludge gun, which actually would be really cool to do in helldivers.
A bile gun that leaves flammable puddles that slow enemies and deal acid damage would be cool.

>>528814594
Join or die faggot.
>>528815186
>Also, I wouldn't really call using biofuel being dependent on processed human body fluids the same way I wouldn't call a car that uses biofuel dependent on corn.
This. If you're already extracting brains from millions of people on each planet and those people are perfectly useable as fuel/lubricant/whatever, it's just good common sense to use that instead of going out of your way to get a different source.
This also leads into a bit of a weird tangent that if Automatons are made from Humans and Voteless are made from Humans and Bugs presumably eat humans to make more bugs, Super Earth people must be really fucking good at fucking to sustain four different armies.

>grinding medals by joining 15 min blitz missions that are at 10 minutes in, instantly extract

>>528815668
>An entire battleship under the command of a single diver who can die anytime makes no sense.
This is true, but in the same way you get nuked for abandoning the mission area, you'd certainly get your freedoms revoked if you tried to do something crazy like leave the galaxy unprompted.
It really seems like the Helldivers aren't in control outside of the spectacle, and the "canon" indicates that you should be playing as random divers with random voices in the default armor to properly represent the slew of different Helldivers being sent down rather than just a conga line of clones.

>>528815934
>and Bugs presumably eat humans to make more bugs
I like to think that the spores infest humans (and any other fauna) that inhale them and you end up with those tiny flying bugs eating their way out of the living host, killing them. Just like parasitic wasps but from spores.

>>528815668
>An entire battleship under the command of a single diver who can die anytime makes no sense
I'm gonna stop you right there because the diver that's actually in charge of the destroyer (your democracy officer) never even gets close to danger. DOs wear Helldiver armor and capes, so at a minimum they're Helldivers in a ceremonial capacity, maybe even picked from divers that were deemed exceptionally loyal and ideologically pure by the MoT.

>>528815934
>Super Earth people must be really fucking good at fucking to sustain four different armies.
And even after all that they STILL need to make use of things like C-01 forms to prevent the wrong people from fucking too much.

cute

>>528816256
I imagine the clones have a limited degree of control, the officer essentially acts as a handler, if they start disobeying orders he can execute them at any time and replace them.
It’s also true that the random voices makes it look like every diver is different. But since it’s the same body type and everything else I imagine that some clones just have slightly fucked up hormones.

Yes, but that means that despite there being regular occurrences of mass interplanetary death, the government still has enough leg room to be choosy about who they let have kids, instead of just taking whatever they can get.
It implies that they aren't desperate for manpower, and that's kind of crazy to think about when you stop and consider what that really entails.

I posited a while back that the Helldivers are subject to hypnosis training during cryosleep, similar to how the mobile infantry in Starship Troopers (the book) get their mission briefing via hypnosis. It would make sense for Super Earth to pick members of the SEAF that show exceptional stamina and loyalty to Super Earth, subject them to a weedout course to separate the wheat from the chaff, and then give them the rest of their training during their cryosleep. It would also give an explanation for why the Helldiver sent down to reinforce after every death knows the plan the previous Helldiver was trying to execute - they got the plan through hypnosis.

Why would they do it that way instead of doing it the same they do it when you get kicked from a game?

the HD1 equivalents, the Hunter and the Apprentice, is essentially the equivalent of their SEAF.

>The ILLUMINATE society is believed to be based on knowledge, individuals that have attained enough knowledge will become an ILLUSIONIST, the APPRENTICE role is the last step before that.
Truly devastating, the APPRENTICES are commonly found whenever the ILLUMINATE attacks, their nano-abilities are dangerous and used to incapacitate their targets before moving into melee range to slice up their enemies.

Favorite is probably the suicide set because hellbomb pack and ultimatum are actually pretty funny. Cop Warbond was my all time favorite until they nerfed warrant. ( I know it's not part of the pack, but that soured it for me greatly )

Least favorite is probably polar patriots still.
Tenderizer was always underwhelming to me, pummeler is fucking useless, and the purifier had to get buffed into an obscenely overpowered state for the pack to have anywhere to sit on. The armor in it is just a reskin of other armors as well.

Easilly one of the worst packs to date, and set us up on the trend of shitty stun guns that don't do anything.

How I'd fix it? Nerf purifier so full charge takes 3 shots worth of ammo.
Tenderizer gets drum mags and really shit ergonomics with them.
Pummeler stuns for a solid 2 seconds with a SINGLE bullet, up the durable damage and fire rate a bit so it can at least blow out charger asses. Or just give it an explosive trait so it can stun bots reliably.

Armor I'd make immune to terrain and weather effects, and let it keep the recoil reduction.

>>528819189
He has a point. Humans deal very well with obstacles to our vision close to our eyes because we have two. Put something in front of your face and you can see past it if it's not too big (like my dick), but close one eye and now you can't see behind it.
However they could have compound eyes or some other shit, or the eye slits could just be cameras for a screen or even direct mind interface.

I think the one argument I'd see for it is on bugs where you want ap3 for bile spewers and hive guard and you really want an ap2 primary and you're taking something like eats for your support slot. Which feels beyond niche for me, and pistols that I have no reason to whip out tend to just sit in my inventory until I extract.

Maybe I need to take more support weapons that don't treat my primary like my secondary.

it's a brilliant end-all solution if your primary and support weapon aren't useful or economical enough for cqc. which for me is basically always the case since I find cqc a great deal more dull than scouting and sniping. light pen is a limitation I simply do not care for when going against bots. I blame acid storms. slotting a hulk with medpen guns feels orgasmic. also it's just easier to use in general, sue me.

This whole discussion reminds me of things like VR headsets that have the little displaced cameras to monitor your surroundings. The fact that having one singular eye would be a major weakness seems like a good excuse to cover that area in armor and just use some kind of camera to project your surroundings into your helmet. That way someone can't just push a spike though the reasonably weaker visor. Bots could learn a thing or two about this desu.

the war axe and saber do the same damage as the stunlance and flag. only the stun baton does half the damage (but has stun). they also hit more targets since their swing is much wider

>>528824501

war axe hardly hits more targets, and the saber does have a wide width.
But just being able to stun lock and out range anything before it hits you seems dramatically more useful.

on squid I'd much much rather have the wide swing of the baton, war axe, or saber against voteless since they ironically come in thicker packs than bugs and tend to spill around you, but for bugs I do usually take the stun lance, paired with the ballistic shield

>>528825572
bots should lend themselves much better to megacities. their defenses i.e. turrets, MG nests, mortars, jammers could be extremely strong there. I also have a gut feeling that their heavies won't struggle nearly as much with traversal as bug ones.

>It's such a blatantly unfinished, unfun, badly designed faction
funny because unlike bugs and even bots the illimunate roster actually compliments eachother pretty damn well. the hordes of voteless and fleshmobs are there to pressure you out being able to focus on overseers and harvesters, stingrays can show up and suddenly fuck up your defensive line, flying overseers are constant harrassment you need to deal with or they will whittle you away and distract you from taking out watchers, staff overseers like to hang back and while their staff blasts aren't that much of a threat when they decide to go melee mode you have to blast them ASAP or they will combo you to death, but they are usually hanging out in the back of a pack of voteless when they show up.
bots friendly fir the fuck out of eachother endlessly and get in eachothers way all the time and bugs are just an entire faction of "run up and touch the player"

>>528839476
Yeah that's the worst part, they're like a well designed faction that compliments eachother.
But they aren't well designed to fight.

>Harvester
>Damage soak

>Overseers
>Damage soak

>Fleshmob
>Damage soak

>StingRay
>Damage soak

>Voteless
>Damage soak

Only the overseer and the harvester actually have substantial weak points,
the harvesters weakpoint was nerfed recently and they introduced a new weak point that feels unintentional.

Like bugs you've got enemies that explode that kill other enemies, enemies you gotta shoot that cloud the area, enemies that die to headshots, or enemies that die faster if you shoot them from behind, etcetera.
Bots effectively have the same thing, and cheesing the ai to shoot eachother actually feels rewarding.

The way the illuminate attack you is well designed though, sept harvesters. So many people fucking die to that laser targetting someone and just immediately beaming someone next to you.

>>528840093

HMG and MG mog all of those. Bring a crispr, gas grenades, and the primary of your choice and you're set.

>>528841073
The problem with making the Illumimate ultra tech is that the bots have way better tech. The Illuminates need something to stand out

>>528842167
Bots are more the scrap metal rebel faction like orks

>>528842167
they just need to lean into the biomechanical horror side of it (even though the bots sort of are that already)
just use shit like servitors or the combine from half life as some inspiration

it would not fit thematically as much but imagine a fleshmob except it has flamethrowers on its arms and flails around wildly

>>528841610
I would honestly say it's the other way around.
Bring a meta primary like purifier, and you can bring any secondary/grenade strategems you want.

Most of the difficulty of the faction seems to come from chewing through fleshmob/voteless HP. That and the spawn rates. You can nuke the illuminate stuff admittadly fast. But the zombies are just so tanky it feels like the majority of the power focus is around them.

>>528843085
crispr wipes out entire hordes in a few seconds, only issue at that point is fleshmobs, which aren't as bad if they're the only thing left. burn em a little, chew through their heads with MG and just strafe if they charge you
I usually bring a MG sentry as well to draw attention and just lure mobs off of objectives and whittle them down a bit. Gas dog keeps things from getting too close, or jetpack to get out of bad spots. strafing run or 500kg are also solid picks

I think what they could do is ditch the biomechanical aspect and make them like, shit, like magical space ninjas or something, you know? With ninjas. Bitches love ninjas

>>528843560
I like the bodyhorror psychic space cult though. It's cool.

>>528843514
I think my problem is that I'm a slut for heavy armor. I know the faction is dramatically easier with medium or light as you can reposition constantly.

Honestly as cheesy as it is, I like the cthulu theme they're going for. I honestly wanna see more abstract horror shit, like giant tentacle monsters or spooky pitch black lanky guys. Like they just took a human and stretched em out to be 12 feet long.

>>528843707
Hell at that point just do melee of your choice, ballistic shield and xbow for fleshmobs.
HMG emplacement
strafing runs
orbital gas
machine gun or de-escalator for support

wtf did they do to my saber?

>>528843707
try:
heavy peak physique
eruptor or deadeye
saber
gas grenades

HMG
supply backpack

You split it in half
Hazard leviathans are the punching bag big health bombardiers, they just float over areas and bomb straight down. Those're the white ones
THEN you make one that glows purple, and is the ranged sniper harass, but drastically lower health. You can break a wing and durable damage it pretty easily. Squad focus fire will bring it down in seconds
Easy

>>528843945
As cool as melee is to run on squids, it just lacks the DPS and positioning. Get bogged down way too much in my experience, and you're just taking chip from overseers, But you're pretty close to my build.

Honestly I just run jet pack, breaker, and I make sure I have at least one green. Revolver for overseers, and HMG support if I wanna shred harvesters.
You really need jumppack on squids just because how important funneling and repositioning is.


>>528844142
That's not a bad build, supply pack gets you moving around with the lunch box, and helps with the ammo issues.
Just feel like I need to output way more DPS cause my buddy swears by having as much CC on the board on the board and nothing else lol.
Granted he takes purifier and will just smoke everything.

>>528842462
Sticking flamethrower (plasma thrower since it's the Illuminates) on a fleshmob, thus giving it a weakpoint that you can shoot to deal massive damage to it and surrounding voteless and save yourself some bullets, sounds like a good way to balance them

>>528844470
i run gas dog because even though the jetpack is fun i force the mob to come to me and then stand there and get confused

>>528842167
the illuminate were always about fucking with you in various ways
they were the weakest physically (IIRC you didn't even need anti-tank for any of them) but they could
>snipe you
>sneak up on you with cloaking (which only two bug enemies had)
>tank damage with shields
>block you with a wall that limited your movement
>stun you
>reverse your controls

>>528844470
Jump pack is always a solid pick but I've been running dogs a lot more on squids lately. Just having gas to keep shit off of you or fire support from the standard one are both really nice to have, letting me focus on the higher priority targets rather than the adds

>>528831840
levis should be the illuminate equivalent of super destroyers. overseers should be able to call down fire support from them like we do with stratagems.

>>528845017
They should have a unit that makes you hallucinate fake Red stratagem beacons near your location.

>>528844816
i just like the idea of the fleshmobs fleshcrafting whatever evolving and having more shit grafted onto them as shock troops, basically mancubus, maybe have one with some kind of ablative armor that can be blown off on its arms but then a weaker spot on its back, forcing you to reposition/stun/flank for optimal damage done to them

maybe have one have some kind of gas pustulates like the spore charger that makes them harder to see/spot or some kind of other gascoded shit like a purple retardo rage haze that when it proxes it immeditaely causes aggro on the existing voteless and they aggressively mutate or get faster or something for a bit
obviously use a planet modifier to test this first similar to the jetpack brigade

>>528845194
I was thinking there could be an effect that causes you to hallucinate your fellow helldivers as voteless/overseers
obviously there should be some way to tell, but in the moment it should force you to double check

>>528844329
Miku da yooooo
Miku da yooooo

>>528845334
I think a safer way to do it would have them make voteless look like SEAF soldiers or citizens.

>>528844816
>Sticking flamethrower (plasma thrower since it's the Illuminates) on a fleshmob
so basically just bring back the cyborgs

stun nades on bugs has been fun again as im using it to keep idiots alive and then lining up blobs with strikes
kind of just works and also lets pubs kill chargers easier so they stop wasting their bad heavy AT picks on them instead of bile titans

>>528845017
It's actually extremely jarring how much they changed squids in comparison to HD1, in 100% bad way. They never relied on numbers, they did crowd control and had snipers trying to shoot you from off screen. The walls were there and having reversed controls in the middle of the fight was something that made fighting them fun. With time you learned how to call stratagems in reverse and you could feel your own might in doing so. They were fun, all 3 factions had good rosters and they had much more thought put into them. Squids now went from barebones zombie faction into pissing off zombie + bullet sponge faction. The amount of crowd control they do is null and design of just having patrols instead of patrols plus roaming snipers/meele assasins really hurts the faction.
>look at how they massacred my boy.jpg

>>528846064
Nta, but even though I actually really like the vibe and themeatic shit surrounding the current squids, I can totally get where you're coming from.

>>528846064
It's a horde shooter. Not having a horde in a horde shooter is boring. Zombies unironically saved the faction, just look at HD1 numbers - NOBODY liked to play against Illuminate.

>>528846064
>They never relied on numbers
well they at least had some chaff in the form of the tripods. it's bizarre how they turned the horde enemy into a bile titan-lite when I mowed those things down by the score with the breaker and grenade launcher in HD1. I think that's part of why I hate fighting the squids, they feel far too tanky. even the watchers are far too tanky. they should spawn more frequently and have less health and armor.
>>528846209
I don't mind the thematic shift ("pacifist" faction gets shit kicked in, returns with a vengeance) but they definitely lost the essence of what made the faction unique.

>>528846569
>they definitely lost the essence of what made the faction unique.
I think the crazy thing to me is that they still have stuff like shield tech, cognitive disruptors, long range lasers, and teleportation, so there's literally no reason not to give them more of that original squid feel even with the focus shifted more toward the whole zombie bodyhorror stuff.
Zombies are a genuine perfect fit for the esoteric puppetmaster psychic space cult, but Arrowhead flubbed it by getting rid of most of the actual big brain psychic shit and ended up just making them come off as brutes.

>>528846563
Helldivers is a horde shooter only if you're shit at detecting and deleting the patrols. Actually with hd2 you can avoid confrontation by going prone behind rocks because of added 3rd dimension compared to first game.

>>528848078
Sounds like coward talk to me.

>Gatling sentry on bots
Why tho

>>528846569
The zombie + bodyhorror shift wouldn't be bad if the devs actually designed good elites + heavies to make squid roster not rely only on humanoids. Why they couldn't get elite "smart" voteless with psychic transmitters and long range weaponry and/or armor that would revert to being stupid zombie after having the transmitter shot off? There's literally no reason not to bring the wall back. If you're gonna deliver huge flying whales why not give them a weak spot in a hard to shoot place to reward risky move of moving directly under it risking being instakilled very fast? Why must fleshmobs be stupid bullet sponge that is nothing more than a bunch of voteless design-wise?

>>528849384
look cool

>hive lord from hd1 is far harder than anything in hd2

if this company had any sovl they wouldve shaved their heads.

>>528849439
Truth.

>>528844095
I dont know. I noticed it to but I dont know what they did. It...doesnt seem to have tange or damage anymore.

I think one issue I have with squids is that the mobs are so spread apart. You have to deliberately coral enemies together and then funnel them for most of your strategems to work well.
It reminds me a lot of old bots where the only way to kill chaff was bringing a ton of sentries, guard dog, and HMG emplacement..


I kinda like the design around the fleshmobs mitigating that by having ALL the chaff localized in a single point.
But it doesn't take enough extra damage from anti chaff weapons like nades.

It's crazy like a lot of the stuff feels smartly designed on illuminate when I think about it, but I can't tell what's intentional, bugged, or what yknow?

I still stand by leviathans forcing you into alleys which hard counter the faction being clever if intentional.

How do I Reprimand
I've been taking it to squids and it just doesn't have the ammo for them

>>528850815
Use it on bots or bugs

>>528850815
As other anon said use it on bots. I don't like using it on bugs myself unless you work around using its med pen for the alphas and let guard dog or a sentry kill light chaff.

>No major order so I can just hit QP on the galactic map and get something completely different every time
Pretty comfy

>>528850656
Well, if the enemies are spread out in open space, you can just clear a path for yourself and run through. Melee mobs can't catch up to your sprint at all.

>>528799483 (OP)
is this the game with the wiggle hackers?

>>528850815
Siege Ready. It absolutely needs the faster reload and extra ammo to be competitive.

Honestly what I wanna see are jetpack hulks. I think the faction just needs more that forces a bit of team play. Like stuff the recoiless guy can't kill efficiently and same goes with the guy running AP4.

Depends which artists. If you mean some patreon whore doing 2d commissions for god knows how much then you would be right. "Modern" artists doing "modern" non-art are money laundering asset. I'm actually comissioning a 3d artist to make a mod for this game from the scratch and I was waiting for so long to get into a queue of his comissions that I learned 3d myself, started modding myself and it actually hit me that what seemed unthinkable at first that good character model would cost $900 is now perfectly sane idea to me now because of the sheer amount of time you need to spend on sculpting/modelling/retopo/baking/textures/maps/slicing/vertex groups+weights with troubleshooting the mod to actually work in-game makes it worth the price. Also HD2 modding sucks ass, each armor is like 16+ of separate pieces of geometry that have to be presliced to not only body model be in pieces but also cut like cloth at certain points like legs have to be separate left and right halves but also have a slice going from crotch down the inner sides of the thighs and you have to account for those seams when doing materials.

Fellow heavy on all front here, I fucking love squids and Heavy Armor is pretty great on squid front since you most damage you take are from the overseers. I always do the most kills and most of the objectives and camps while the lightbros are doing whatever the fuck they want.

My loadout for squids is usually:
>Deadeye/Reprimand/Halt
>Crisper
>Thermite Grenade

>Strafing Run
>Gas Dog
>Commando/Laser Cannon/EAT depending on team build
>MG Sentry

Always throw your MG sentry as bait to throw off the horde from the objective, use crisper to clear the horde and puffing the fleshmob.Strafing run to take down Harvester/warp ship shield asap or clearing the horde, Commando can be used to take out warp ships after the shield is down or one shot the harvesters and stingrays. Your primary will be used solely for overseers and the Watchers.

Your Gas Dog will pretty much lockdown fleshmob (Fleshmob will change direction mid charge if they are gassed btw) and voteless horde from doing anything. It's pretty much my go to backpack for squids.

They feel clunky as shit without them. Not too bad against most enemies but highly mobile ones like Hunters and Overseers are a pain in the ass to deal with without PP.

>>528870118
that's bollocks
people used HMG and all other low ergo guns just fine before that perk was put in the game
it's about practice, pre-aim game, and not getting annoyed by the slightest bit of extra effort
the recoil reducing armors are much better

>>528870118
Aimlet sissy leandiver cope.

>>528870118
mmg I don't know, but HMG abso fucking lutely. You can't just waste ammo with it you need to aim and click heads. It's stupid but the lack of durable damage forces this shitty play style.

PP is probably the worst case of a shitter crutch there is. Imagine needing an armor passive to deal with something that can be solved with moving your fucking mouse.

>>528870219
every support weapon it affects gets one extra magazine, with the exception of the railgun which gets 6 extra rounds

>>528870448
Wrong, HMGs ammo is bad enough that a suply pack is almost mandatory but heavily suggested.
But with a suply pack you have more than enough ammo.
Also recoil reduction is better for it.

>>528870264
peak physique users say with the ergonomics buff you can hold the gun down as you fire to reduce recoil better than dedicated recoil reducing armors

>>528870610
>supply pack
not necessary at all. Stop missing your shots.
PP armor with 450 fire rate turns the HMG into a head popper 9000 it's hilarious. I barely go through my first mag before I get a resupply.

>>528870118
it really doesn't, you can easily compensate it with some practice and you're not gonna be using it in close range anyways so it being snapy isn't much of a concern

>>528870724
>you're not gonna be using it in close range anyways
The pack of 15 predditors barreling towards you from all directions thinks otherwise.

>>528870724
>you're not gonna be using it in close range anyways

why not?
Shit has so much stagger, it's great to fling around and ward off stuff ontop of you. Hell if you want it's a great melee weapon.

>>528870867
Who the fuck uses HMG for bugs, much less predditor bugs?

>>528870967
Me

>>528870967
id use the HMG on bugs all the time if it didnt look like shit, i just want a skin for it that makes it something good looking.
Turn it into some wacky Jap HMG or a beefy more detailed and greebled M2.
The only mods for it i saw were some one literally just made it a black brick and called it a .50 cal.

>New transmission from Super Earth
>Yeah uhh this is Dr. Chud, Medical, Xenoentomology Center

Why would I ever use the MMG over the HMG?

Is there a bigger noob trap than the Stalwart?

>>528870709
>450 fire rate turns the HMG into a head popper 9000 it's hilarious. I barely go through my first mag before I get a resupply.
soulless, pre-60daypatch hmg philosophy. I'd rather just crank it to 750 and shred.

>>528872473
you wanna hold down the trigger and kill chaff, HMG is a hulk and medium chaff killer. MMG is a all around chaff killer.

Personally I like HMG for the walking ball smasher. Just aim at center mass, click, tap tap tap, and shit just goes down Infront of me.

Ant good for crowds but it just punches down elite units n feels real good walking n gunning.
Best with peak physique tho for the extra turning.

its to make up for all the sissies crying about warrant being unable to kill hulks frontally now.

Jet brigade units should flank with the jump packs.
A patrol spreading out to the sides, firing volleys as they jump while the normal units hold the center would be cool.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no tyranny.

don't have them explode, have them jump behind you

Missed opportunity to give jeet troopers the hover pack so they can assault you from above while you're trying to take cover

The swedish mind is an actual enigma. It's so simple.

>jetpack hulks don't have a retarded explodey weakpoint
>neither do the devs, the chain explodes is only reserved for the troopers
>add jet berserkers and they also move faster
But no we got retarded swedish design once again. Fucking Christ I'm so tired of seeing the potential of this game squandered over and over and over.

>>528889993
they should jump at you and try to land on you with their foot outstrechted I think that'd be cool I think
