>Previous>>528903505>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.

Democracy Officer.
I am heading into the bugfront.
I require your strongest loadout.
GL rapes the entire jet brigade aside from tanks and factory striders
GLbros we are so back
Why was there an update today with no patch notes? What was it????
>>529028096Gas Dog
Exploding Crossbow
Orbital Napalm
Some form of chaff clear
Some form of AT
Fill in the rest with whatever, it doesn't matter.
>>529028419Purifier does what Grenade Launcher does, but without taking up a support weapon slot.
>>529028489yea but plasma is GAY
>>529028096>Cookout for Stagger + Fire to deal with chaff>Grenade Pistol to close Big Holes and destroy some bug hives in a jiffy.>Thermites for Chargers/Impalers or Gas Grenades to confuse bugs and kill chaff.>De-Escalator to deal with everything except Bug Holes/buildings while stunning bugs. It even kills Bile Titans while dealing with chaff at the same time.>Backpack of your choice, preferrably a Dog or Supply.>3rd and 4th Strats of your choice, but I recommend to being something to deal with Titan Holes/nests, and maybe a Machine Gun Turret/Gatling Gun Turret or another Red strat.>Siege Ready Light to run from bugs, increase the whole ammo capacity of your guns, and speed up the reloading of the cookout.
>>529028476Jet Hulks and Devastators.
>>529029035but they were activated yesterday before the patch
>>529028096You can't handle my strongest loadouts, Helldiver. My airburst is too strong for you!
>>529029137Functional Jet Hulks and Devastators.
>>529029224Democracy Officer, I ask again. I am going to the bugfront, and I require your strongest loadout.
>want to use the Scythe
>scope is still broken
>unlock the 1.5x
>its a fughueg dot blocking bot weakpoints at any meaningful distance
i just want my laser pointer, how hard can it be to fix this shit
>>529029231but they were functional. what are you on about?
>>529028476Yeah they added the review bomb cape
>>529029305You cannot handle them! They are for only the strongest and you are clearly the weakest! Find a democracy officer that will give you weaker loadouts, with cookouts and quasars! You cannot handle my Tesla towers and eagle clusters!
>>529029926The mockup versions are simply better
>>529029421Sorry, I actually didn't play at all yesterday, I was too busy cuddling with my not-girlfriend.
>>529029926I don't think I'll ever understand why making capes seems to be difficult for Arrowhead. They're 2D images and some texture work...
>>529029926pretty ok for what it is
sony is a fuck as expected
the good news is other studios will think twice before publishing with sony thanks to this
>>529029926armory bloat/10
Tesla towers are actually pretty good when you're the host and dont have to worry about whiny bitches kicking you after they ran into it.
>>529030845The only reason this game didn't get cancelled is because of Sony.
>guys with 4 sentry meme build
>has no idea how to place them smartly
>blames players when the gatling he called in right behind them mows the entire squad except him down
>>529032959>4 sentries>"meme build"one of the best builds in the game desu
that said if you're a retard and can't place them right then you should be kicked
calling a gatling behind your team is basically equivalent to calling an EAS on your team
JUST

Soon.
>>529033286Kill yourself nigger
>>529033123Full sentry is valid and fuck anyone who disagrees
>>529037002I think you'd still want to reserve one slot on a standalone support weapon to deal with stuff that gets past the sentries, like a Laser Cannon or a Quasar.
>>529033286you are now hearing the Newgrounds Mastermind theme manually and uncontrollably get in the shark tank
4 backpacks is valid
4 support weapons is vaild
4 mines is valid
4 emplacements is valid
2 mechs is valid
>>529037475can you still get 2 mechs? thought they fixed that.
AIIIIIEEEEEE SWEEEEEEEDEN WHY DO REVOLVER CROSSHAIRS DRIFT FROM CENTER EVEN WHEN STANDING PERFECTLY STILL
>>529037693when you draw it the crosshair is perfectly center
you're supposed to quickdraw like a cowboy
brilliant game design
>>529029926>mockup of steam review graphs>can also represent 4 hellpods fallingPretty goof 7.5/10
>>529038264haha benis :DDDDD
How many Helldivers remain? Do you even know? There would have been 40,000 at Curia, maybe more. SUCH A LOSS.
>>529037280There's always Sup weapons laying around the map.
But I do think rocket/autocanon/gatling is enough for almost anything that come at you
>>529029926I have never once switched off the default cape since launch day/10
>4 mines is valid
>2 mechs+ vehicle is valid
Yes
>>529030131Trvke.
>>529030825It's not difficult, they're simply lazy. Nothing more than that.
>>529028096Hear me out:
Cookout
Grenade pistol/ultimatum
Gas/thermite
Sterilizer
Ar dog
500kg/EATs
Gat turret/gas mines
Med Gas armor
Sterilizer is hugely underrated in bugs and especially pred strain. One brap from the rizzler sends everything going veering off to the side and missing their attacks, the only thing you need to worry about is the proper engagement range.
>>529030825All the content in game has been done before relase. Dev time was 8 years. They actually managed to do content for game. They change names, colours and icons. But everything is done.
That's why when they actually need to do something new. It's so slow. There is no "team" to do it.
>>529029426>doesnt match the red armorwhat the fuck is their problem
There is nothing more beautiful than 4 orbital gatlings surpressing one bot drop
>>529041045No design document. No material library.
Or they intentionally do that, for some fucking reason.
>>529041183that was the most satisfying orbital to use with the strategem bug
Giga dead general. I don't have nearly enough passive entertainment at work.
>>529038760jobber of the century
>>529043349Same. I fucking hate the spreadsheet mines, i wish i could be conquering the stars instead
I've been disappointed with the Warrant. How would you rate the following hypothetical sidearm? Would you use it? Would it be fair, OP, or underpowered?
>Sidearm's gimmick is that it can alternate between different ammo modes for different purposes.
>Default mode is hollowpoint and is basically a 6 shot verdict
>Armor piercing mode increases the armor piercing value to AP4, increases the damage per shot by 50%, but now each shot consumes 2 rounds of ammo.
>Grenade mode consumes 3 rounds of ammo per shot, but fires a projectile with the same explosive values of the explosive crossbow.
>Projectile velocity is shared by all 3 modes.
>I'm kind of coping out on this last point, but let's just say QA does its job and gives it a "fair" number of spare magazines.
>drop near edge of map
>calling down a support weapon
>go to pick it up
>TRAITOR DETECTED
bad way to start the day
>>529044976This would need to be a plasma gun for it fit the the game world
>>529045271This problem can be easily solved by dropping directly on enemy positions instead.
>>529045271You can't throw strategems outside the map bounds

>>529045397It makes as much sense as the AC and RR swapping between Flak/HE and APHE/HEAT on a whim. But it being fluffed as a plasma weapon is fine so long as it retains enough destructive force to close bug holes.
>>529045271Fake. Strats that land outside of the combat zone just despawn.
Nice try, Ramesh, but you will never own this game.
>>529044976an ammo switching pistol would need a more robust ammo/magazines tracking system and they simply dont have that in them to program. they already cheat by making the RR/Airburst/AC have โprogrammableโ ammo which is just magically changing what the payload is withour actually needing to track ammo types.
If they did put in a different ammo tracking system theyโd need to find a way to properly handle reloading different round types (said hypothetical sidearm maybe does it quickly and automatically) and also decide what to do about POIs and supply boxes (POIs maybe give standard magazines, supply boxes refill everything)
>>529045271>he didnt drop in the fortress
>>5290463463/4
will (you) be the last on in?
>>529046645the halt does exactly this
>>529045271what causes someone to lie like this?
>>529046810>>529047390the halt still cheats by drawing from a uniform ammo pool. if you were to apply the same line of thinking to the halt youโd have a pool of 20 stun shells and 40 lethal shells instead of just a pool of 60 shells that do whatever
This is such a weird achievement.
>>529029313scope in and stim while not releasing RMB and the model of the gun will disappear entirely. use the laser to aim while still having the full zoom of the scope. also works with the double edge sickle which makes it much easier to aim at 91% heat since the sparks and fire don't obscure your vision as much
>>529049172It's a reference to 'Aliens', zoom zoom.
>>529045429>>529046681shut up, yui. i like dropping into the fortress but i wasnt hosting
>>529045570>>529046446idk what to tell (you), but it happened to (me)
is it possible to get the extract in under 6 minutes from a blitz mission achievement while playing solo? and what is the best strat to achieve it
>>529051307>idk what to tell (you), but it happened to (me)No it didnt.
>>529051610maybe you're right, i mightve called it down and it got blasted out of bounds by a fac stider turret immediately. the confusion of what was happening had given me short term amnesia. still a bad start to the game
>>529051597Spawn in on a wide open map on extraction with cuck chair
>>529051597walking, 120, strafing or air strike and eats on bots
Cities and mega cities are nice and all but a new natural biome when? Lava, snowy forest, palm beach, just something plzz.
Is that lightning grenade launcher thing any good?
>>529051597By far the easiest faction to do it on is bots.
Bring either:
a) Recoilless Rifle/Expendable Anti Tank and Orbitals/Eagles to quickly kill the required fabricators as fast as possible with minimum effort and then head for the extract.
b) Anti tank emplacement, land on extract and just shoot fabricators from there with the emplacement.
Option A will work in all circumstances, Option B is not viable on most planet biomes because terrain will block your line of sight. The Moon biome on Curia is best suited for the cuck chair strategy since it's usually very flat with no large terrain features.
>>529052092>get new biome>becomes new player favorite biome>planet is never under attack and only becomes playable for 6 hours every 30th MO
>>529052092There's like 20 of them that were leaked a long while back and recently they added low quality textured versions of the snowy forest biome so expect that one soon at least
But yeah I agree, a lot of the more fundamental things like biomes/mission types would do an infinite amount for the replayability of the game but they're always focused on doing dumb shit like warbonds or sub factions
>>529052216team killing machine if you shoot it anywhere near them
it can kill hulks semi reliably when it doesn't bug out and do zero damage but the rounds reload and overall ammo economy doesn't help it
haven't ran it with siege ready yet so it might help with the rounds reload but overall it doesn't hold it's own weight when compared to something like a autocannon or maybe even railgun
>>529052092they could have done so much more with environmental effects in this game. the torrential downpours on mountain biomes being nearly silent is so goddamn lame. they could have taken a leaf from L4D2โs hard rain campaign and modulated the audio of everything to be drowned out (including character dialouge and voice chat). If they had a better proximity voice chat/radio system it would have been cool to have effects around communications interference
>rain makes proximity chat muffled>ion storms makes radio garbled but proximity is fine>stratagem jammers reduce the range of voice comms>squids can broadcast false comms to singular players>destroyer upgrades or helmet perks like tightbeam comms that makes the radio work almost perfectly regardless of interference as long as you have an unobstructed sightline to your teammates
>>529053304I have started hating her ever since AH fucked up the eagle storm and turned it into a maximum TK machine
>>529053432Thats not Eagle 1. Those are just fighter jets from the DSS.
>>529053432I for one hate AH for removing the traitor barrage DSS buff.
It was fuckling kino to be under constant orbital bombardment.
>>529047709>press F to melee
>>529041045The Swede understands color theory. The problem is they use it for evil.
>I have never once switched off the default cape since launch day/10
>>529054285I love Eagle and Eagle loves me
Nobody calls their pussy an "eagle"
>>529044976Chaff rounds having mini explosions, and unguided rounds just firing giga piercing shots bullets would be cool
Dunno how it'd balance it
>>529053304>>529054285>>529056371I like that these have become the de-facto "official" artist's interpretation of Eagle-1 and SEAF soldier.
If you TK someone with an eagle and dont say "sorry" I will assume youre brown with zero spacial awareness or just throw shit at random and kick you from the game.
>>529052910Radio backpack ignores all this , reduces red cool downs by 20% and can call under jammers :)
If someone sees a red stratagem beacon and still runs into it, I assume they're a fucking moron who shouldn't be playing above D4.
>>529056828>radiopack can be deployed into a small mobile comms unit and accelerates the cooldown and shortens the arrival time of orbitals and eagles>has a limited range, has to be interacted with every 20-30 seconds to keep the buff>can pack it up when donewould be great for flag missions and eradicates
>>529056646I can't wait for them to reveal the official Eagle-1, just for everyone to learn that she's bald, brown, and bug-eyed.
529057019
Found the brown anon.
>>529056682i will only say sorry if the retard that died didnt ran in said eagle strike themself
>Do flag defense on bots
>Shield relay is down
>Retard throws 500kg eagle too close
>Hits the shield because the angle
>Tks everyone except the one who threw it
>Doesnt say "Sorry"
People that dont say "sorry" are too low IQ to even understand what happened. Youre kicked. Simple as. Go be a retard somewhere else.
How effective is the arcdog compared to how amazing gundog is?
>>529057519Don't use it around teammates unless you've all agreed to wear Electrical Conduit or Acclimated.
Diligence or Scythe for popping bot heads?
>inb4 Amendment
Just got it to Lvl 23, the recoil is pretty rough so follow-up shots can be difficult to land. Very satisfying to magdump the pelvis with though.
>>529057519Don't use it if you spot your teammates wearing Electrical Conduit or Acclimated.
>>529056682>playing redditor strain, weโre on extract>nobody is watching or covering the single path up the cliff to extract>host gets flanked by a predator hunter, it chews his ankles>he melees it and stuns it, as I pull out my talon and double tap it>first shot hits the bug, second shot hits the host square in the back because he decided to dive across my line of fireshouldnt he have just melee stun locked it to death
>>529057590can it ever arc to kill yourself?
>>529057806Yes. its rare but it can happen if the dog is behind you
>>529057519It's S tier. Make sure to always stand behind teammates and to position your guard dog behind them :-)
>>529057519High alpha gun dog, if you've got good sustain its solid. but the bullet dog will last you longer, and the gas dog stuns more stuff.
It can stun heavies for long enough tho
>>529057862>>529057995sounds to me its a gun dog with extra steps that kills teammates
whats the point
>>529057519teamkilling machine that will absolutely murder anything in the background of the shot especially teammates. relatively limited range. its all of the worst parts of the dog family except this one has an arcthrower that it shoots with zero trigger discipline
>>529058161It can behave weirdly. It will autistically lock on to some random target even if its out of range and refuse to change targets until it dies or you move really far away.
>>529058310its so bad that I intentionally shoot my teammateโs dogs to force them to return to the bag
>>529029926>yet another blue that doesn't match any of the blue fabrics from any of the armor sets>also had black AND red that also doesn't match any of the other armor setsI like it in concept but executing it stylishly is going to be difficult.
>>529057519it's great if you solo and it's great if you have a coordinated team with arc resistant armor.
Anything else and you'll just be murdering your team all the time
does feel like the new guard dog got its AI reworked
>>529029926not black and yellow/10
>>529052092>Lavai genuinely don't believe they'll implement lava with how their pathing is
Arc damage is TOO dangerous to friendlies for it to be viable outside of solo or a friend stack, and unlike a Gatling turret, it isn't static and decently predictable since all of its sources except the Arc turret are tied to a Helldiver. It's okay for it to be dangerous, but it shouldn't be a literal instagib. Give all Helldivers an innate 50% resistance to it so a zap only puts them at half health and it'll be fine.
>>529058310every dog does this
>>529058742>Gatling turret>decently predictable>swivels 150ยฐ and riddles you with bullets to kill a tiny hunter bug behind youpsshh nothin personnel, diver
Should dogs be positioned to be more directly above the shoulder so whenever its shooting at 7 o clock it isnt in a firing line straight at your head?
>>529058996I still believe sentries are coded to kill you as soon as they have the tiniest pretense for making it look like an accident
>"Just go prone, bro"
>Go prone
>Random hunter jumps on me and starts humping my ass
>Turret shoots us both
Thanks, retard.
>>529058819Yes. I like Arc stuff and would like to use it more but it's just prohibitively prone to friendly fire in pubs.
the only turret worth a slot is the EMS mortar turret
>>529058481why do they keep doing this shit? it drives me nuts. we could have a lot more good looking armor combos if they didn't insist on having five slightly different shades of every color they use
>>529054290>alpha charges at me>F
>>529058996>SPINS 350 DEGREES TO SHOOT AT A SECOND TARGET FOR SOME REASON
>>529058996A static AI turret is inherently more predictable than a mobile human player. If you break LOS, you're safe. You're NEVER safe around an Arc player.
>>529059656I think it's retarded that alphas can be trivialized like this but it feels so fun to smack those fuckers back
>>529056646personally I like artists have associated freckles with pilots
>>529056646no they haven't
just because coomers want something to be official doesn't mean it is
both of them are bald and mystery meat
New warbond idea: The Degenerate
>Poop sock grenade: Light the sock on fire and explodes on impact. Deals fire and chemical damage
>Piss Bottle Secondary: Squirt it to create a puddle of vile piss on the ground dealing chemical damage and status effect to any who enter
New Strat: Truth Nvke: 1 time use per mission. Creates a devastating explosion thats larger than a hellbomb that destroys anything it hits and forces your teammates to type "UHHH BASED??" in chat
>>529060293Sorry chud, it's canon.
>>529059138I didn't believe it was coded like so, until I saw a gatling turret gun me and another player down in quick succession. Literally watched that fucking thing swivel between us to do it too, and there was fucking nothing around.
>>529060198>club one to death with my big iron because he brought no backupshit's metal
>>529060198I kind of wish enemies had takedowns or quick counters when you correctly time a melee attack, like punching a pouncer out of the sky, deflecting pouncing hunters to the side, or quickly countering stabs from trash bots
d10 bots borea
doing OUR part
steam://joinlobby/553850/109775244547059467
I like the new dev and hulk jumpers
the bots really lacked a way to pressure the player as they only really slowly lumbered towards you but now they can just kind of drop in your shit and make you switch up on the fly how you fight them.
The only thing is that it feels like the new hulk variants are a little easier to kil
>>529059828i had a gatling sentry near a wall that was shooting at a bug breach far away and i ran between it and the wall so there could be no possible target for it to aim at "behind" me but it still sweeped in my direction for no reason and killed me
>>529060481I noticed alpha commanders wonโt call warriors for backup if theyโre not near the host, which I assume is yet another arrowhead oversight
>>529028096>Arc Blitzer>Stun Lance>Stun Grenades>Arc Thrower>Tesla Tower>K9 Guard Dog>Orbital EMS Strike>Arc Resist Armour
>>529060976>LittleNigga they die to 3 shots from the xbow and like 2 from the purifier, they get absolutely fucked by med pen
haven't played in like 6 months. Come back to some piece of shit buggy that barely works and flips over if it hits a pebble.
I see arrowhead haven't changed
>>529060976>the bots really lacked a way to pressure the player as they only really slowly lumbered towards youif only there were some kind of unit they could add that would force the player to quickly react and always stay on alert
hmmmm....
>>529060976>the bots really lacked a way to pressure the playerI kind of disagree, I find it easier.
You can see them jumping from a mile away and they land so slowly its trivial to aim for their weakpoints before they recover from the jetpack animation
>>529059138>"no, they would never do that">see an AC turret on a hill>shooting at a bile titan, kills it>shortly after, does a complete 180, tilts down, and blasts some other player in the head>there were no bugs nearbyThey're 100% programmed to randomly target players, no doubt about it.
>>529061428i hope they get quick dogs or something like this
the only version of this we have are the random flying small dudes that just blow up on you and insta kill you with fire damage
>>529061469wouldnt it be kino if groups of similar bots did unit tactics together instead of all acting as individuals
>yfw a group of 20 troopers break from cover and jump pack all at the same time to land in front of you
>>529061428I'd want them to look like a berserker mixed with a Boston Dynamics robodog.
>>529051771Now that can definitely happen. Stratagems just can't land out of bounds, they instantly despawn as the touch the floor.

>>529062069so like this (but without the stupid looking teeth)
>>529062590in wish this game was moddable beyond asset replacement like DRG so I can multiply the spawn rate of trash enemies by 20

xoxo gossip girl
>>529062780is this thing fake? it looks like shit
>>529064832Obviously fake
>>529052216It's a bit hit and miss. It's REALLY GOOD at killing things when it works. But sometimes it's just kind of shit. There is speculation that it is bugged and situationally does more damage than it is supposed to. Alternatively maybe sometimes it does less damage than it is supposed to? Long story short, if you're playing solo then it seems to do much less damage. But if you're in a 4man group then it can do big damage. I'm unsure if it has to do with being a host vs being a client, or being solo vs being in a group.
>>529052598>haven't ran it with siege ready yet so it might help with the rounds reload but overall it doesn't hold it's own weight when compared to something like a autocannon or maybe even railgunSiege ready doesn't help support weapons reload, but it does give them more ammo. Again, its damage potential might be due to bugged bonus damage, but when it's lethal it surpasses the AC in terms of short term damage spike capacity but falters a bit in sustain because of the slow reload. It's nice if you do 90% of your fighting with your primary/secondary/stratagems and just want a grenade launcher to splatter "oh shit" moments.

This isn't a joke, they stealth buffed k-9.
They 1000% removed or at least minimized the ability for that thing to TK your allies now.
It is insanely good right now!
I also think they nerfed gas grenades

>>529057519It's different than the other guard dogs. The other dogs are all mostly defensive in nature. The gas dog flies around crowd controlling everything. The gun dog has aimhax and will headshot things until it runs out of bullets. The laser dog is like a worse gundog but with infinite ammo. In contrast, the arcdog is more of an offensive guard dog. Functionally it is comparable to an incompetent retard following you around with an arc thrower. You need to take care of defending yourself because it is a bit too slow and unwieldy to protect you things things that teleport behind you. It would be better to have someone competent behind that arc thrower, BUT IT'S STILL AN ARC THROWER. Even with an idiot behind the wheel, that's a good chunk of damage going down range from a fully fledged support weapon.
The main concern is the teamkill risk. If everyone is running arc armor, then arcdogs can be unleashed with wild abandon. However in practice you need to take care to keep the arcdog on a tight leash. You can press 5 to recall the dog and have it land on your backpack. You should do this to remove the friendly fire risk when fighting around teammates. However if you are clearing an objective solo or can position yourself so that your teammates are safely behind you, then you can let the dog off it its leash.
I think that it's a viable choice for your backpack slot vs bugs and squids. It just requires either careful tard wrangling on your part, or a premade team running arc armor.

>>529066948the AI is very simple
if the turret detects an enemy, it starts shooting

>>529067305Like I said before, I've explicitly seen them do complete 180ยฐ turns, angling themselves 60ยฐ downwards, just to hit a player, without a single enemy anywhere near them.
There's absolutely malicious coding, just like with barrages.
>>529069172>took an entire yearI had assumed they just gave up on making the cape and hoped everyone forgot.
>>529069194>just like with barragesQRD?
>>529069528Barrages, usually the very first shot, will sometimes angle themselves way outside of their normal limit in order to target players with a guaranteed hit. Airburst is the most blatant about it, as you can see a single piece of shrapnel going WAY outside its bounds to headshot players. Walking barrage would be the second most blatant.
>>529069963walking barrage has a set pattern based on cardinal direction.
I agree with the airburst orbital though.
>>529069963Eagle cluster does it very similar to airburst, typically a single bomblet will fall WAY outside the area, almost always directly towards the closest diver.
I think shooting down dropship.needs to change. Either just not allowing everything to die when dropship.get shot or just make dropship much more difficult to shot down. I'm tired of getting queued with tryhard autistic running AT emplacement and deatroying every single dropship on drop. This shit makes bot so boring

Or it just set itself to a back and forth idle animation, and you just got unlucky.
>>529072872FVLL
ROLLING DEEP
What's the difference between the muzzle's which of the three is generally a good option for most high recoil guns?
>>529074587Muzzle break I think has the best ratio of vertical recoil reduction while not going too crazy on the horizontal also while not fucking up ergo as much
Compensator just adds way too much horizontal recoil for my taste
>>529074587you literally see the spray pattern pick whichever gives a better shot grouping or is at least better to control. it also affects the way gas ejects so during nights with flashlights it can change how it blinds you in first person
>>529074587Spread.
look at the pattern and figure out what you want.
The hyper narrow one requires time to "cook" before the recoil evens out and the gun turns into a laser beam. Good for drum mags, and really solid with recoil armor.
Compensator effectively turns the gun into a tight choke shotgun. If you burst fire you want this because it doesn't take time to "cook".
Keep in mind the pattern isn't really accurate and scales based on original recoil size. EG something with like 20 recoil base shooting up like 4 blocks only really kicks the bullet up like 4 inches. While something with like 50 recoil base shooting up 4 blocks will be like 4 feet.
PP is poo poo
>move gun slightly faster
>buff a completely hopeless and useless category of weapons (melee)
p o i n t l e s s
>>529074587Flash Hider gives you general recoil reduction while not negatively impacting ergonomics that much.
Muzzle Brake is a bit stronger while also impacting ergonomics more, it's generally the best option if you're worried about horizontal recoil.
Compensator is purely vertical recoil, if the horizontal spread isn't that bad on the weapon then this is the best choice.
Which one you pick depends on what your underbarrel option is. Vertical Foregrip combined with Muzzle Brake can give you good balanced overall spread, while Angled Foregrip combined with Compensator can give you a good ergonomics boost while mostly canceling out the vertical recoil penalty.
>>529075043pp armor is good if you can aim. If you shoot center mass and have a high ergo gun it's not as good. PP armor turns support weapons into unholy head popping machines. The melee bonus is just a nice cherry ontop to insta kill chaff you don't wanna waste bullets on by hitting F.
>>529075043You've never used it then, thanks for letting us know.
>>529075043HMG with PP is kino
The only downside is that all PP armor looks like shit, and it's even worse when diving on a snow planet in a dumb junglefighter set
>>529074587keep in mind that an attachment lowering ergonomics is completely meaningless if it doesn't lower it below 40ish. above that and you won't even feel the difference whether it's 50 ergonomics or 72

>>529075292in the half dozen hours I spent labbing this perk I couldn't generate a noticeable increase in dps or accuracy

The thing just shreds bot drops worse than orbital napalm shreds bug breaches.
I miss the incel corps. They force cover and mid to long distance engagements, generating a small semblance of the oppressive bullet hell that the bot front used to be, and as such feel more distinct from bugs and squids than regular bots and especially jet cucks get to be anymore. Subfactions should be upgrades over the regular forces, incel corps succeeded at this, jeet jumpers did not. Joel better send out the toaster boys before the MO is done.
The fuck they did to the bots? I haven't played since that planet blew up and now they can't aim for shit anymore and rockets from devastators barely tickle my healthbar.

>No you can't just destroy the bulk fabricator with the cuckchair. Mom said it's my turn.
>>529080536>The thing just shreds bot drops worse than orbital napalm shreds bug breaches.It's a similar problem with both where these stratagems have weaknesses it's just that the enemies can't punish it.
Cuck chair has a slow turning rate but enemies never attempt to encircle you so who cares?
Napalm barrage (all barrages really, its just that napalm is the best) is in a limited area but enemy reinforcements always appear in clustered groups so who cares?
It'd be so easy to make the game harder by just simply tweaking a few mechanics and how enemies operate but Arrowhead is too retarded to do that because it'd require them to actually play their game, and at a difficulty higher than 6 at that. Maybe in Helldivers 2: Community Edition.
>>529080536>Stationary, meaning getting shot my any 1(one) of bot heavy weapons (cannon turret, strider cannon turret, rocket strider rocket, missile barrage from devs or gunships) will instantly destroy it>have to place it in a good position otherwise you will not have a firing line towards shit, some maps are better than others, while others make it nearly useless (jungle)>No armor either so (you) will get shredded to pieces if the enemy is close enough>shooting fabs from any angle is a feature shared with the RR, EAT, Commando, Quasar, Spear & rocket Mech
>>529081008fucks sake
>>529081158Yes but at least you had to take cover or get sniped. Now I can just stand in front of 3 devastators out in the open and they'll miss 90% of their shots and what does hit can be tanked for a long ass time.
>>529081221the heat powers the big fans inside the jetpack

>>529081328lmao you don't play the game
post career
>>529078098Surely right when we get the satchel charges too
>>529080051For maybe the basic trooper yea, but not for heavier units. The point is that AT:ing dropship literally counter everything. You don't make any sacrifice running AT because it technically clear mob equally as well if you kill the drop ship carrying them. Though most of the problem is AT emplacement and how easy it is to down consecutive dropship with it
>>529080621>Only ruin 1/3 of the game>Bug is already ruined by multiple stratagem and piss easy Uhhhhh, just deal with it bro
>>529081328There's always enough spots with elevation to comfortably put your cuck chair and shoot across half the map. Nobody is shooting at you unless you're hot dropping this when you're surrounded.
Even in defense missions where you might get shot at, it's a nothingburger because anything that can kill you will just get shredded by the cuck cannon if you're even remotely competent.
>>529070339Armored dropships that are like the landing craft used on D-Day. The dropships properly land like Pelican-1 and then their doors roll up to spew out all the bots. I guess something like the large fabricators that are in occupied cities in terms of HP.
Maybe have it so each dropship will also rotate a little bit on landing, so that all the doors aren't just facing the same way so AT and HMG emplacements can't completely trivialize the encounter.
Maybe a mix of the current dropships and armored variants would be better, ratio favoring armored the higher the difficulty, of course. I wouldn't mind D10 having nothing but armored dropships though.
>>529082426>if you're even remotely competent.Really overestimating /hdg/ here man

>>529082582it's not going to fundamentally change anything and it would be a lot of work that those lazy swedes definitely aren't going to be doing

>>529080595Yes... you should shoot the eye
>>529070339in HD1 the cyborgs literally just dropped in from above the second a patrol sent out an alarm

controversal opinion, but I think bugs require way too much AT like rockets.
>>529052496I honestly don't think the people doing work on biomes are the same people doing work on warbonds. Why? Because artists who are really good at drawing faces and animating people for example, are rarely the same people insanely good at drawings landscapes and detailed cars. What I mean by this is that the people modeling weapons/armors/enemies are very unlikely the same people modeling trees, plants, environments, buildings, stage hazards, etc. Same with textures, same with programmers.
I don't think you can blame the fact that we have less environments entirely on Arrowhead putting all their workers on making weapons and enemies and shit, I think making environments is just something that takes a shitload more time to make from a different set of skilled workers.

It's not even efficiency, but like if you're using a red to destroy anything eats are better at it.
>>529102580I like jeets because I can kill them with anything and bring any other loadout I want and try new shit.
>>529102664I started taking these and orienting my sample upgrades around them. I can now drop 1 pod of 2 EATs every sixty seconds on the dot, and I do. It's better than any other anti-tank option available. In 20 minutes I can put 40 EAT launchers on the map.

Which faction will be the first to turn gas against the helldivers? bots have already shown they are adapting our lost munitions and equipment, but thematically i think it would be cooler if squids had their own gas that messed with our motor control and vision or something
>>529107269It would honestly make sense for any of the three fronts to use gas.
>>529037475i know this is a shitpost from hours ago but I actually went and tried all this on the jeets and literally every single one was fun and viable
backpack was the most surprising, shuffling between the K9, supply pack, and hellbomb was actually really effective
Have anyone noticed the Pacifier is missing the muzzle break when being equipped with 2x and 4x scope?
>>529037475All stratagem are fairly balanced. The only ones that are kinda need a bit of buff are stalwart and railgun. Flamethrower isn't " bad" but primary flamethrower is just better for build. Of course, really broken ones like AT emplacement and napalm barrage needs nerf

anyone for jet brigade? Haven't seen the Jeet Hulks yet
>>529110907120mm does nothing but isn't as annoying, 380mm will occasionally do something but is very annoying
>>529110907Walking barrage is like the 120 except actually useful.
>>529111328>120mm does nothing
>throw 380mm
>Mega nest cleared
>>529111841this has never happened btw
>>529110907the 120 has a smaller effective area but lands faster, is over faster, and has a shorter cooldown. its good for mid/small bug nests to soften them or or to soften a breach/drop for a bit.
the 380 is big and if a shell happens to hit something in the way, it will kill it. I personally enjoy seeing a 380 shell from a walking barrage or 380 hit the spine of a bile titan killing it instantly, but the shell's won't always saturate everything in the area. In bigger nests it closes most of the holes but usually leaves 1-3 open.
>>529102580Jeet brigade are a bunch of jobbers. They line up one by one just to get assploded by purifier/gl/flak ac which makes them way easier to deal with than normal bots.
The only time I die is when they speedblitz and oneshot you.
>>529111841I might have believed you if you said Mega Fortress but I have never in my life seen anyone throw an orbital stratagem at a meganest and done something that didn't amount to wasting others time.

autumn biome, or whatever duma tyr is, is underrated for challenging biomes. everyone says moon is the most challenging but autumn is so fucking flat you're hiding behind the biggest (small) rock you can find that barely covers your body. you always seem to be in a valley with bots descending from slopes on all sides, or on a flat plain where they can shoot you from 250m away. with jeet brigade, even if you bring your own cover in the form of a shield relay, they just jump into it with you.

>>529105357No, but its pretty damn good otherwise.

Also using the ultimatum alongside with it if you want to knock out chargers and kill factory striders faster.

>>529115426>moon is the most challengingwhat?

And I mean honestly bugs aren't that bad not even pred strain. In fact they're fun cause they just eat damage super hard.

>>529121706The strategy for bots is simply pressing left click between the occasional ragdoll since they can't hit anything, put 0 pressure on you and their heavies are joke units that die to AP4.
I truly pity the retard who thinks this clown faction is engaging in any way.
>>529122050I like to rotate too, but man my favorite build just works best on bots.
But mostly cause heavy armor sucks unless you like taking your double dose of stims 24/7
>>529122360I wear heavy armor on all fronts because I like the aesthetic better than light or medium. It's not so bad, you just have to take the initiation towards camps/objectives first before all your light buddies arrive.

>>529122757It's glued to my back man. That or car. Car is fun because I love driving it on open maps. Just feels like so much fun.
Non-jet hulks overspawn and are an anti-fun mechanic that force you to pass the gear check for retarded AT or sniper shit instead of using fun weapons. The new jet hulks are perfect, more options to choose from, and resistant to light pen WITHOUT handing free wins to medium/heavy pencucks. And they can jump. The stronger/more "challenging" (read: gear checking) version isn't always the best one.
>>529122952Honestly kinda agree.
I like the idea of enemies being more reliable to kill with the gear we have, just want them to be a bit more lethal OR have something else to balance it out.
Like killing things shouldn't just solve everything.
>>529122952Normal hulks are not fun when they're doing that fucking torso glitch where you can't shoot its eye, only the vents and even then they're still stomping towards you with flamethrower on

>>529123385>titans are like what, 4 headshots?13
I think everyone with a modicum of objectivity can agree that bug heavies go down way too fast. The only "threatening" enemies bugs have are their chaff glass cannons, i.e. hunters, stalkers, alphas, which become entirely trivial if you have stagger/cc items on you. Take Blitzer and bugs are solved. Finding bugs challenging is a loadout issue.
>>529123189>bug heavies die to ap4 just as well thoughNice cope, retard. Which bug heavy dies to 3 senator shots to the front?
>>529123554I still think Chargers should die instantly if you blast their bum. Make their head take 2 EATs or 1 RR shot though

You could rocket pod a bile titan, and gun their head for like 10 shots with the HMG and it'd die immediately.

Man dude I thought spray n pray n breaker were just gonna be the same guns. But MAN you feel the stagger difference.
Like to think that was the only thing holding back the spray n pray this hole time.
Like don't get me wrong spray and pray will do an unholy amount of damage, with zero recoil and insane mag economy.
But stagger just FEELS better. Having enemies react when you unload a duck load of duck bill shots into a crowd just clicks more.
Gonna feel so bad when I have to upgrade another gun tho.
this community is evolvingrotting in ways I did not anticipate nor appreciate
>>529130567cc > dps, always
>>529090083no joy and whimsy
>>529131002Dunno if it's even that, it's just like the reaction of an enemy feeling that makes it feel better.
Like it doesn't feel like I'm just carving a turkey, I'm unloading shells down range and shredding things apart.
>>529131002So you're always rocking that Libconc or Pacifier, right?
>>529130776You lost, nerftranny.
>>529131362Nta but lib con is pretty fun on bugs.
Problem is most cc weapons are honestly pretty shit at actually CCing things properly. The ones that do it best just kill shit.
Y'know what's crazy.
If they balance shit around the AC, they must honestly think "yeah you should have to click it like 3 times center mass to kill a hulk. That seems fair."
I mean. Based honestly, this is pretty fun and the eradicate 10s are really fun and crazy. Just wish it was like this all the time.
>>529130567The Spray&Pray is a piece of shit. Not only does it have less DPS than the Breaker, but it lost its advantage in the customization update since how the regular Breaker can also equip the Drum Mag, which was supposed to be the S&P's main advantage. Being able to replace the horrible Duckbill with a Full Choke makes it a bit less horrible, but the stock Breaker's ability to put out high raw DPS just makes it better in every way.
>>529131002You only need crowd control against enemies that are super evasive like the Predator Strain and Elevated Overseers. The whole problem with the Spray&Pray is that it offers neither competitive DPS nor crowd control, and the Duckbill never made sense to begin with because you're just wasting like 60% of the pellets even when firing into a saturated crowd. Full Choke always made better sense.
>>529131794carryable 20mm ought to be hurting hard as it should
>>529131362Pacifier is great if you can do more than cqc magdump reddit gameplay
>>529131794>gameplay is balanced around a weapon that was designed to bypass most of the autistic damage system with both full durable damage and explosive effectsWhat did swiggers mean by this?
>>529132008that the autistic damage system is meaningless and you should simply bring the highest calibers
>>529131952Now I want a handheld 30mm...
sven pls...
>>529131914If you gas, spray and pray is a beast honestly.
It's objectively better than the breaker in everyway, no recoil, amazing ammo economy, solid ergo.
Like the lack of stagger actually makes it a solid head popper on bots. Which is really funny honestly.
It's just not a satisfying gun otherwise.
>>529132090AC primary is bound to happen eventually. I hope it's one-handed and comes with a massive buff to the underwhelming ballistic shield so I can be a full blown organic shield dev.
>>529131519Most of the game is in a state of "Why should I crowd control the enemy when I can just kill them instead?" Lib Concussive can have its uses, but half the problem is that putting bullets in enemies just knocks them backwards while dealing minimal damage, they're harder to kill because they're getting knocked all over the place. The Pacifier doesn't have this issue, enemies that you hit get locked in place and become stationary and thus easier to shoot and kill.
Not to mention, both weapons take up all your attention to apply crowd control to one enemy at a time. Why do that when you could toss a Gas Grenade or use something with splash?
>>529132008Explosive damage honestly was always the best. Not just because the retarded durable system. But with how everything deals damage to main you want weapons that just overlap with that.
But yeah you really nailed it on the head. When you look at stuff like the entire bug front or any front really. Autocannon just ignores every autistic mechanic.
>Flak shreds fleshmobs>Precision shots on bots, and explosives just nuke shield devs>Completely annihilates squishy high durable stuff on bugsKinda makes me jealous when they made every support weapon get like 25% durable damage lol.

I know, it's because I was uploading a mod on nexus. Should be fine now.
That's it? That's the invasion? It just stopped?

>>529123895RR? what for? just grab EATs and you'll run out of heavy enemies before you run out of EATs unless you're edging titan holes on purpose but then again those close themselves all the time
>>529134723Any particular reason you go D2-4?
>>529136761You need more?
>>529137824NTA but maps bigger, more POIs, but D4 starts spawning rare samples which take up slots that could be SC, and outposts start to take up too much space.
That being said it's much more important to get a decent map without too many mountains everywhere and picking from multiple difficulties helps with finding them.
>>529137824Difficulty 4 and above spawn Rare Samples in Bunkers, Containers and Escape pods. If you do it on D3 you have a resonably large map to spawn Points of Interests on without diluting the loot pool with an extra spawn you don't want.
Honestly you don't need to farm Super Credits. Helldivers Mobilize gets you the Diligence Counter Sniper, Scythe and Scorcher which are all fine weapons and can be used against all factions on D10, with the DCS being a premier botclicker weapon and the Scythe being perfectly useable on the other factions. You can just play the game normally and you will get enough credits for whatever Warbond you want eventually.
t. have never farmed or bought super credits and have all the war bonds.
>>529138926I'm mostly asking out of interest. I bought the game a few weeks ago and bought a warbond (democratic det) and I've been doing D10 missions with no real trouble, I simply like the mod because it lets me get some super credits near me I otherwise wouldn't have gotten.
>play the game like usual
>SC arrow cheaters beeline to all the POIs that contain them
>dont even lift a finger, dont do anything for them, get SC for doing nothing

>>529146570you dont, the game is easy
>>529145042I always thought that It'd be an interesting mechanic if smaller Bugs like Scavengers and Bile Spitters did less damage to you but were capable of latching onto you in droves to weigh you down, mess with your aim, and do damage over time as they bite you. There'd also be the rist of a turret aiming at you while they're latched, or Bile Spitters blowing up on you if they die while latched, and you'd need to shake them off first by diving and rolling or having a fellow Helldiver shoot them off without hurting you.
Also, a Shrieker large enough to grab a Helldiver and pick them up, lift them and drop them to their deaths, only letting you go if you do them enough damage.

But I think it'd fit perfectly in Helldivers. Scavengers, bile spitters, and even pouncers (that can jump on you from long range) can get all creepy crawly on you. Diving can shake a few off. If the player melees it'll pop them one at a time (don't get too close to your teammates while they're freaking out or you'll get clocked in the face). And of course, as mentioned, shooting the bugs off a buddy.

who gives a shit about the galactic war anymore oh wait thats right only spergs like you without any ability to connect with other individuals so the blob is the only sense of belonging this game offers you
Sometimes I feel like playing squids but dont want to bother with the fleshmobs. Flying Oversaar spam and the occasional leviathan being a cosmetic stage hazard is fine, but fleshmobs annoy the shit out of me. There's no unique or engaging way to fight them, aside from "just shoot it until it dies".
Dont feel like using plasma or the eruptor to counter them.
The only support weapons that seem to work effective against them are what seems like just the autocannon. Everything else still feels like "just magdump this lol"
>>529152039I feel this because I've been a Scorcher/Eruptor merchant for such a long time, I just don't want to use them anymore. And anything besides those on Fleshmobs feels like such a waste.
>defend against 4 bot attacks
>no bot attacks are happening
good job joel
>>529152039fleshmobs are honestly what squiggers deserve after half a year of mocking AC users to a point to which they didn't even wanna acknowledge the existence of the squid front anymore just because AC was an A tier instead of S on one of three fronts
>>529152039You can ignore 90% of them by simply jogging past because they're not nearly as dangerous as their HP pool would require to actually make shooting them worth it, and the 10% that are standing directly on an objective can be dealt with via a gas grenade or MG turret. They're a garbage enemy that needs a rework as hard as the Leviathan, but saying that triggers the retards who are unable to understand that pointless HP blobs aren't hard to kill or avoid being killed by but are boring.
>>529152039Gas makes them a non-issue, even when they're charging. I do agree that they're annoying as fuck though, gas is the only mechanic that meaningfully affects them. Other types of stun? Immune to it when you need to stun them the most. Weakspots? Fake and gay. Disabling their legs? Doesn't do shit.
>>529153635That's what the fleshmobs feel like. Just boring HP blobs, that's all there is to it. Every other enemy out there at least has one form of weakpoint to them, to actually make it feel rewarding to aim at them. Even the armored Bile Spewers have a weakspot, albeit AP3.
The fleshmob, well you can spray all its limbs and hope that does the job. That is its "weakpoint".
I could ignore them, sure, but they're still a present threat. Even if I manage to avoid them, a fellow Helldiver now has to worry about it.
At least with the Leviathan you could focus fire on specific spots to take it down, but after how it was neutered to the state of a flying disco-ball, there is little reason to bother with them.
>>529154060Stun apparently breaks the homing AI on their charge from one anon's testing, but it's still retarded.
>>529154462fleshpounds dont have any obvious indicator that theyre stunned, just their basic idle animation.
when you do stun them, either by using stun weapons, ems, stun nades or...allah forbid...the urchin, but they're charging, they wont home in on you, but keep charging forward in one direction

WARNING: YOU ARE IN RANGE OF ENEMY SWIMMING POOL
>>529152039It mostly comes down to killing the fucking watchers. Fleshmobs are annoying, but they aren't too terribly common within POIs and patrols. You can easily keep them mopped up with an HMG. Maybe set them on fire with a dagger or something first if you want to save a bit of HMG ammo. Their numbers, and the amount of damage needed to keep them under control, only starts getting out of hand when people start posing for selfies with the watchers and the squids are permitted to call in a dozen of the fucking things via reinforcement waves.
If you want to be a bit unorthodox, you can trying bringing the Grenade Wall emplacement for when someone triggers a squid drop. The 60 round grenade launcher on it completely fucking mogs all of the voteless/overseers/fleshmobs within a squid drop. It's just a bit poor at killing harvesters. The poor sightlines in megacities can make good emplacement placement a bit tricky though. You probably want a guard dog to help keep voteless off your back, since those cunts love to teleport into existence 5 meters behind you.
>watch Eravin gameplay
>comes across an arc thrower in a POI
>says "ew"
lmao OK maybe he's not so bad
>>529150161Bring the zapdog but just press '5' to turn it off when the teamkill risk gets too high. IMO there are plenty of times where you're basically soloing POIs/objectives that you can have it turned on, and you can even fight near teammates if the enemy forces are coming at you from a singular direction and you are the tip of the spear. Just be ready to press '5' and reign the dog in when you see it start rotating to aim behind you.
>>529157825It only falters against bile titans. Against chargers you have to do your toreador routine and dodge the charge so that you can explode the ass, or do trick shots bouncing rounds off the back legs to hit the ass. Against impalers you just shoot their soft spot once they deploy tentacles. AC completely shits over everything else in the bug arsenal, has tons of explosives for closing holes, and destroys side objectives with ease.
You might want to bring stuff like EAT/500kg to help with bile titans if you're using AC. But aside from titans the AC is king.
>>529157825Exceptional stagger tool against chargers, basically neutralizing their threat entirely as you kill them (focus fire on a single leg)
Great against impalers, roughly 8 shots @ the forehead to kill, very easy and fast.
Decent against titans. Aim for the mouth when they try to spit on you (of course, dodge that first)

>>529177387>Randomly bringing up some completely unrelated gameImagine getting filtered so hard you bring it up in completely unrelated threads.
What is it with little dick men like this guy: 529177635 who plays coop games but only plays for himself because he has the mindset of "everyone else is le shitty! IM the carry!"
Why arnt you just playing solo if thats the case? Unless...... you need more than 5 respawns... oh noo.... OH NO NO NO IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
I'm convinced aliens were designed by Alexus, solely because of how the sweet spot for headshots work on overseers.
>>529177260Cause duh robot shot me and I need to heal?? Like stims are a core game mechanic, I donโt even think I use that many stims, but how is healing yourself a burn? 80% of games I play end with 0 deaths. Meanwhile your taking 25 lives booster like a chinaman zerg rusher to compensate lol
Solofaggotry spits in the face of the games design and actively makes the experience worse for everyone around you.
>>529178171Why do you need 14 stims to play bots, nigga? Stop standing in the open.
>>529174056>Call a breach>Drive across the map>Everything is still aggroed on me and chasing me>Have like a second to prepare for all the pred bugs chasing meNice strat lol, but man that shits fun.
I've been doing autistic 0 stim drops as of late.
>>529178261Because if the solotranny actually plays solo then they cant abuse the spawn rate limit
hear me out
superhero warbond
>mine stratagem but instead of mines it deploys stim grenades and temporary shield boosters that pulse with comic-book onomatopoeia (ZAP!, BAM!, DEMOCRACY!)
>cape that's always fluttering
>booster that makes you faster the longer you run
>chest thump and salute emote
>point to sky emote
>cover yourself with cape and crouch emote
>grappling hook secondary
it could be so heckin wholesome
>>529178921THIS SO MUCH THIS
Fresh super bread.... doko...
>>529178261Hard disagree.
Solo fagging is the only way to actually experience the game. 99% of the game otherwise is just carpet bombing shit before you actually see it.
>>529178921starts raping you
I just had a revelation.
Squids are going to be what Predditor bugs are to bugs
In other words. Theyre not going to be standard units but a sub faction
>>529178921>grappling hook secondaryThat'd be nice.
Also like the idea of a booster that just gives more mobility the longer you're running around the map. Just so heavy armors downside isn't being slow as fuck
>>529178921Take my upvote and leave
>>529179069We knew that already. It's "Illuminate Cult" subfaction. There's some minor clues that Predditors and Gloom Bugs will also get new units, kinda like how Jeet Brigade.
>>529179069Naw there gonna be like jeet brigade, and their new units will be easy as fuck to kill
>>529179069I hope not, Illuminate still suck to fight. If anything the voteless/fleshmobs should be a sub faction
>>529180347Sad thing is that they're core to the illuminate identity. Otherwise the faction is a joke to kill.
recommend me a loadout for bots that does not include the eruptor or the crossbow
>>529180710both of those weapons are the mark of the faggot
Use the Punisher or Punisher Plasma, you get AoE stun and damage and don't kill your teammates like a retard even with a direct hit
Use HE grenades
Walking Barrage/EAT/Rocket Sentry/Autocannon Sentry
Senator
t. I don't even own the explosive warbond and never will shit's for losers
>>529180710Been doing GL and breaker on jump bots.
That n shock dog because it just atomize bots.
Like they 100% removed the self kill from that thing, haven't even seen it kills an ally lately. Think they stealth buffed the fuck outta it.
>>529180710Liberator, Peacemaker, HE Grenades
EAT, MG, OPS, Eagle Airstrike
>>529180931>These are bad>But taking sentries that do the same thing goodLol
He grenades are cool in concept because they one tap hulks, but you never see them live long enough to cook n do it.
>>529180710for jet brigade:
purifier
verdict
thermite
WASP launcher
eagle strafing
OPS
commando (basically only for factory striders and distant cannon towers)
>>529181116I was teamkilled 5 times in one match by that piece of shit, today.
>>529180710purifier
recoilless rifle
500kg bomb
EMS mortar turret
whatever orbital bombardment you prefer
>>529181253They aren't for Hulks. Your Senator is.
I JUST WATCHED DUMA TYR GO FROM LOW RESISTANCE TO MEDIUM. 1.50%. FUCK JOEL FUCK NIGGERS FUCK SWIGGERS FUCK SWEDEN FUCK ALIENS IN THE PUSSY
>>529180710You honestly cannot go wrong with anything as long as you have boom or AP4.
The only scary shit is factory striders or tanks. Or a teammate soloing the faction.
There should be an event where if you and a bot jetpack into each other, you have a split second QTE event. If you win, you rape the bot. If you lose, the bot rapes you.
>>529181319Well shit
Maybe I just have more awareness or something.
>thick milf mods keep me using heavy armor
>See the game in a new light now that I can actually CC shit n don't just run away from encounters
300 seconds until new thread
Make a new thread or I will.
>>529181256trying this rn.
it's over, this is the last general
>>529181256>PurifierI honestly think the community is retarded when they bitch about crossbow or eruptor. This thing right here, is pure evil.
Like easily the most OP gun in the game.
>>529181121>eagle airstrike>t. crutchmaxxing shitter
