>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?
HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC and PS5 where players fight against hordes of alien insects, robots and squids to Spread Democracy. Players wage war on a number of contested planets, each with a different environment, completing as many objectives as possible within a procedurally generated area while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful operations a planet can be completely liberated, and the player base must cooperate to try to liberate the entire galaxy by focusing and combining their efforts as much as possible.

>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?
Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is the origin of the setting and basic gameplay formula of HELLDIVERS 2. The major difference is that HELLDIVERS is a top-down shooter, its mechanics being based primarily on Arrowhead's first game Magicka.

is it normal for this game to lock my pc up

I don't understand why helldivers would get certain capes for certain events if the ones who participated are long dead. Do we technically play as the super destroyers then?

Lobby doko

>>529520341
The one you're currently playing was also there, just not being controlled by you at the time.
Or something like that.

we need more one-handed primaries that aren't SMGs, or at least some better SMGs

>>529521096
I agree, but additionally the ballistic and directional shields need to be unshittified

>do a random lowdive
>leave alone
>now have a ghost chinese cadet following me
>can't see him
>can't kick him
another ui bug for the list

>>529521494
I remember ballistic being fine last time I played it but directional definitely needs some kind of buff.

>>529520341
Because that super destroyer is still operational and was there while it happened.

One headcanon I have is that the Democracy Officer is the actual 'protagonist' and the Helldiver is just the player. After all, each new player has a factory-issued Super Destroyer with no upgrades whatsoever, and the only fucks that remain around, despite everything else, are the Shipmaster, the Democracy Officer, and...well the Technician isn't around anymore.

>>529521494
Directional shield should work on 2 hand guns and have a stronger protection than the full bubble.

The riot shield should be able to be planted and fired from as cover

>>529520341
My theory is that every frozen Helldiver gets the memories and experiences of the last active Helldiver on the destroyer uploaded to their brain when they're thawed out, meaning that even if they didn't physically fight in them, they technically DID. If that makes sense.

>>529519959
Swiggers forgot. Now we'll have to wait until Thursday.

>>529522116
That kind of makes sense since you could be a fresh recruit from training dropped into a d10

What's the most efficient SC farming method currently?

>>529522272
playing the fucking game

>>529522272
sc mod
jacked up render distance by editing the config file

FRV

Did they nerf the mega city parks or something?

>>529522272
i was in VC with a friend and they found chinese santa at random and got around 5k SC from around 30 minutes of leeching

>>529522272
dive on a flat low water planet at diff 1
dive at diff whatever in mega cities and farm the ridiculous amounts of bunkers that spawn, requires a buddy and the mega city to be available to play

>>529522272
Scam American grandmas with fake tech support

>>529522256
It also makes sense when you consider that the weapons and equipment used in training are a small part of what a Helldiver might actually use, not to mention all the stuff that was invented during the current war that they wouldn't have had any training on and had to learn on the fly during missions. Uploading memories streamlines that process.

>>529521903
I hate that it can be shot out of your hand and outright destroyed by explosives. That's just bullshit.

The current Helldivers are STILL elite troops, they're just not fighting starving socialists anymore. This is like complaining that Space Marines in 40K still die despite being some of the strongest troops in the Imperium.

>>529520147
Completely normal. My friend had to reinstall windows because the game bricked his PC.

What if we can spend samples to create emplacements or special effects on liberated/defending planets so when we go to them we can benefit for a short while. Stuff like having resupply pods left in pois or maybe 1 time stratagem uses for each player. Maybe even a 5th stratagem slot only for support weapons

>>529519959
>the summer's content is already in the game

Bad doomer, bad bad. No treats for you

>>529524838

ship customization with stratagem upgrades is what players really want

>>529524161
fuck it we dive.

>>529525179
We already have the systems in the dss. How is it overtly complex.

>>529524838
>spend commons to reveal an extra side objective
>spend rares to determine what the enemy composition is
>spend supers for an extra strategem of the host's choice
Seems like a no brainer to me, it's not like it would be heinously overpowered considering how little samples we actually bring per mission

>>529525179
You will eventually cap out again with something like that, at least that idea is a sink that will always have an economy for samples

>>529520341
Super Earth recruits people into the Helldivers Corps and then implants them with a cognitive implant, which accepts the upload of a new personality into it.
You get turned into a meat puppet, and each super destroyer has one of these ultra-experienced supersoldiers that the crew just repeatedly uploads into different bodies.
So that one soldier gains experience over and over again, growing stronger with each death.

>>529525382
>spend supers for an extra strategem of the host's choice
Yes, give me a reason to finally use super samples. How the fuck has AH not given us a super sample sink?

all melee weapons are doomed to remain flavor items without genuine practical benefit because the alternative would be to make them so strong that they become obligatory. a strange item category. the only winning move is to pretend it does not exist.

>>529529721
They're already great on Squids. Since you want to take the MMG, the Overseers are so slippery and the Harvester joints are so thin, you want to take Peak Physique to boost the ergo, which also boosts melee, which itself is great against the third main threat - Voteless.

>>529530025

>>529526219
Blitzer is medium pen/AP3
Tesla Tower is heavy pen/AP4
Arc Thrower/K-9 is anti-tank/AP7 (same stats)
Deescalator grenades, once detonated, spawns 10 arc bolts from the impact point (AP4, 55 damage each, small stun effect) with a 10m range, along with a different AOE in the exact same position and 10m radius, that does nothing but inflict medium stun with anti-tank penetration (AP5, AP6 direct)

>>529520341
The same question can be asked why a supposedly freshmeat out of freezer could repeatedly complete D10 mission

so i just got this game and used the quick join feature and the guy i joined just ran around doing these point of interest things then jumping to the next mission without finishing wtf was that about

Its so obvious when the game is trying its fucking damnedest to force a drop in. Was at extract one time and it kept spamming them on the horizon. Like bro, you lost, holy fuck just accept it.

>>529539691
No need for call-in, they just straight teleported 3 patrols in front of your eyes

So much time has passed
So many patches and additions to the game
And still, reinforcements will sometimes just break completely

>>529545927
You mean that bug where you can just get stuck on the respawn spectator screen and never get dropped again for the mission no matter how many reinforcements the other divers call in?

>teammate is demoknighting

>>529546382
Yes
Even if other people died they'd come back but I was permanently dead no matter how many times they tried to reinforce

>>529546536

>>529548996
i think thats where shes pointing

>>529548996
i think it would be nice to have her deposit her sample contain down my throat

>>529520341
Here's the only theory that makes any sense: Every Helldiver that gets called down for reinforcement is simply a clone with the memories of the previous one copied over. That's why they have everything instead of starting from scratch. Helldivers are like the clone troopers from Star Wars except instead of being based on one man's genetic blueprint, they're based on many others. This also explains why "Helldivers never die!" is a slogan and they have an almost comedic lack of self-preservation on the battlefield.

>>529520341
>I don't understand why helldivers would get certain capes for certain events if the ones who participated are long dead

its called propaganda and live service videogame lore.

>>529520341
>I don't understand why helldivers would get certain capes for certain events if the ones who participated are long dead
Because your Helldiver is the same person who you started the game with.

That's the weird thing, they're so strangely tanky compared to chaff on the bug or bot fronts, that I'm betting it's something to do with the shoulder hitboxes (which are their own distinct, non-lethal parts).

>>529553350
Not to mention you can "kill" them and they'll keep going for a little while. Like it'll tally a kill on your counter but they keep moving/attacking, even shooting them again doesn't register a hitmarker.

>>529552162

>>529553350
>>529553587
that's purely down to their chests having a constitution value. it's basically a second life bar that depletes on its own time. you can shoot them again to speed it up but until it's gone they're in a semi-dead bleedout state

I've just been taking off their legs and letting them bleed out on the floor. they can't catch you, it only takes 1 bullet, and eventually they do just die

Not only does the tutorial and Pilestadt's official position contradict this "theory," but also the fact that you can set your voice setting to randomize on each respawn, and Peak Physique.

when can we have a fucking wardrobe to save a few loadouts

>>529556263
Viper commandos is nice if you're a big fan of support weapons.
Cannot understate how huge the ergo boost is if you wanna treat your support weapon like it's your primary.

Rest of the pack is kinda mid tho.
Bushwacker is good for pred strain, the booster is stellar, lib carbine is fun, throwing knives is a meme but honestly pretty okay if you've got a heavy weapon and you don't wanna waste a shot on something

>>529559460
LOL

>>529558376
>Cutting Edge (just so you can do proper Arc builds and I guess the Purifier is cool too
purifier is in polar

>>529558376
The warrant grenades do unholy things with flame weapons, but they really need a radius or count increase.

>>529556263
In rough order of which ones you should get:

Polar Patriots has some of the best weapons in the game. It's worth it for the Purifier alone, but the Verdict and Tenderizer also help seal the deal.

Truth Enforcers has some really good weapons. Reprimand and Halt are very strong and fun weapons, and Loyalist is no slouch either. The armor recently got a buff so it's decently good now. Dead Sprint used to be considered a competitor for top four boosters but nobody uses it now.

Chemical Agents could be considered meta for the Gas Grenade alone, otherwise Dog Breath and Stim Pistol are the only other ones worth getting.

Borderline Justice has the Deadeye, hands-down the best marksman rifle in the game, and the Talon is very good too. The Hover Pack can be fun but is a bit of a meme.

Cutting Edge used to be top tier for the Stun Grenade alone, nowadays not so much. It's still worth getting for the collection of weapons and Electrical Conduit though.

Force of Law is hit and miss, the De-Escalator can be fun and the Pacifier has some useful niches but most of the rest is trash.

Viper Commandos is only really good for Lib Carbine and Experimental Infusion, but you're not really missing out on much if you already have the K***ht, which effectively fills the same niche (90% of the time someone else in the lobby will grab the booster so you will almost always benefit from it even without picking it yourself). If you want Peak Physique, you're better off buying the Medium set from the Superstore instead since the warbond only contains Light and Heavy.

Masters of Ceremony is utter trash, the armor can be handy depending on your loadout but that's about it.

>>529561725
>Chemical Agents could be considered meta for the Gas Grenade alone, otherwise Dog Breath and Stim Pistol are the only other ones worth getting.

The entire pack is top tier on bugs and ayys. Like practically mandatory on d10.

They need to go back to the philosophy of Experimental Infusion and make more boosters that fundamentally change the way your equipment works. The hellpod modifiers seem like they could have been ammo modifiers but they got scared of making something op and changed it to hellpods at the last minute. There could be a booster than increases primary ammo AP by 1 (they could balance it by capping it at AP4, or by making it reduce total ammo by 10% or something), or one that gives all primaries elemental effects for dot or stun (they could balance it by reducing AP by 1 to a minimum of 1, or reducing ammo 10%).
i think the hellpod modifiers (firebomb and stun) are interesting and could be fun to use, but nobody ever wants you to bring them or has any patience for learning to use them. They just need something to spice up boosters and make them more attractive because the same 4 in every lobby since viper commando released is not a very good commentary on the direction theyre taking it.

personally my headcanon is that divers in a similar position to you get promoted into your role and continue with your shit
there's literally so many divers being churned out that you are replaceable on every level as a person
so not this retarded ass literal cloning but memetic cloning through state dogma being ingrained into every single SE citizen
tho the dogshit just completed your training line the shitmaster says once in a while contradicts this

is there any real improvement on a fully leveled JAR vs an early leveled?

>>529520341
The Democracy Officer is a veteran Helldiver that actually ensures that the rest of Helldivers stay in line and do their due diligence. This is why you aren't allowed to just travel wherever you want, as well as why you get bombed from orbit by "your" own ship when defecting. HE is the main character wielding the gun, and the Helldivers you play as are the loyal silver bullets.
The capes are just ways for other divers to demonstrate their solidarity for Super Earth by carrying a piece of their nation's history with them since it wasn't their choice to not die for the cause.

>>529565368
the only benefit is the angled forgrip and a smaller scope to increase the ergos.

>>529565521
>The Democracy Officer is a veteran Helldiver

lol not a chance. the survival rate of helldivers is like 4%. Democracy Officers are probably the super earth equivalent of military chaplains. the entire ship is designed so that a helldiver cant do anything BUT be useful in some capacity since there are no options other than to go to hostile planets.

>>529561725
>master of ceremony is trash
Play the game.
Amendment is the best marksmanrifle, the armour is top tier and the sparkler grenades are extremely strong.

Someone explain the Scythe heatsink options to me. I assume the High Capacity Heatsink has twice the "ammo" but still cools at the normal rate, but what about the High Dissipation Heatsink? Does it sacrifice "ammo" capacity but cools faster? The in-game display does nothing to illustrate how they're different.

>>529565368
Depends.
Id say watch footage of how you play with the jar and see how many shots you hit or miss. Slow it down too to see how the reticle bounces around.
Honestly the fire rate is low enough that you don't notice it. Id say angled grip is mostly useful to negate the downside of drum mags.

Because most guns are balanced around their ergo already.

>>529565979
>the sparkler grenades are extremely strong.
they might just be the most OP nade in the game
but they aren't anti heavy crutches so most people pass them over ig
1 nade per bot dropship, bug breach, or illuminate ship will kill almost everything in it and the stuff still standing is at most 1 shot off from death barring heavies ofc
on erads it's a get out of jail free card, on bricks it can solo a choke point, and on a blitz you get 6 of the cunts to chuck into buildings

>>529566729
Twice the capacity, twice the cooldown
Half the capacity, half the cooldown

Don't have the numbers but base cooldown is like 10 seconds for 7 seconds of fire.
4.5 seconds for the 4.5 seconds of firing..
And 14 for 10 seconds of firing.

Objectively the best one is the bigger mag size.

>>529567108
Id honestly say they're on par with all the other grenades.

Impacts kill light chaff and stagger mediums at any time you need it. This is honestly more important than you'd think, and make them a solid grenade choice.

HE is the best for bot patrols but needs setup. Pyre nades are in a similar boat but can be a bit finicky.

Frags are just "remove that swarm of enemies" nade.

Pyre grenades are amazing, and will shred through hulks and packed together enemies. But they need setup. They're a really good sidegrade grenade because you can build around them.
Like dare I say they enable stun weapons like the pacifier and lib conc.

what is the best dog and why

>>529569248
my dog is the best dog

(yours sucks btw)

>>529569248
Depends on the faction. It's either the chem dog or the liberator dog though.

>>529569248
gun dog if you just want to kill
chem dog if you want something to save your ass
zap dog if you want to kill your teammates and have it look like an accident

>>529569248
Depends. Worst is laser.

Bullet dog pops head on bots and gives you solid alpha.
Gas dog will make chaff swarming you a non issue on bugs or ayys. Very important with heavy armor.
Tesla dog has some insane burst DPS and can stun heavies like chargers or hulks. Left to its own devices it will kill every enemy in the game. The TK nature of it has tuned down a bit, but I'd be iffy bringing it to bugs

It's mostly just what you're looking for.
Gas dog is the most game changing tho.
The other two just help get constant damage on the board, which is honestly massive but not mandatory depending on your build.

>>529569650
I will say too there is a case for laser and arc dog if you're not managing your ammo often. Bullet dog will chew through ammo fast and usually needs to be topped off every 2 minutes when resupply comes.

>>529569248
gas dog for bugs (great for preds), gun dog for squigs (helps a lot with chaff and hard counters jetpack squiggers)

>>529570236
laser is good dps on fleshmobs

>>529569248
Gun Dog is the best for raw killing (meaning it's just the best overall). You can bring it to every front and it'll perform very well. Only "problem" is that you have to run for POIs and grab ammo every now and then to make sure it doesn't run out.

Laser Dog just outright sucks, and has sucked for as long as it has existed. The only reason it ever saw any use was it used to be one of only two that existed, and the pre-buff Gun Dog was still better but everyone was smoothbrained and didn't realize it at the time. It has novel utility in setting targets on fire, but its dogshit DPS makes it inferior to Gun Dog in every relevant metric.

Gas Dog is very good for crowd control, meaning it's strong against bugs and squids. Not only does it keep Predator Strain at bay, it can also push away Fleshmobs by blinding and redirecting them.

Arc Dog is an outright liability if you aren't solo and/or you and your teammates aren't wearing Electrical Conduit or Acclimated. It does good work, but it's not worth the teamkilling.

>>529570873
Old ballistic dog sucked compared to the laser dog.

Had 33% less rounds and no med. Pen.
It was worse than the laser rover in every way except it didn't knick your teammates.

Like old laser rover is what current gun dog uses to be

>>529570873
sorry but the laser dog was objectively superior back in the day
old laser dog: 300 DPS that literally never, ever overheated, could fire for as long as there were enemies in range
old gun dog: same penetration as laser dog but could only kill like 3 or 4 scavs before having to reload, didn't get ammo back from small ammo tins, got barely any back from resupply

>>529570873
>the pre-buff Gun Dog was still better
No it wasn't faggot

So after doing some testing with the HMG using pp armor and recoil armor.

PP armor
>Strictly better on 450 mode.
>Will headpop and use bullets more efficiently.
>3 round bursts at 700 has a negligible difference from recoil armor, especially when crouched or prone.

Recoil armor
>Standing while shooting with the gun is effectively the same as kneeling, which means you can burst fire 700 while standing.
>Sustained fire is dramatically better with recoil armor as the gun doesn't "bounce" as much while crouched or prone.

In practice.
PP armor is just better in nearly every situation.
That's not to say theres anything wrong with either, but the only way you can really make use of recoil armor in any meaningful way is sustained fire. However you will be doing a lot of reloading like this, and you will need to be finding good "firing arcs" constantly and catch enemies out in the open.

An example of the difference for sustained fire while prone.

>>529579657
>3 slots locked out on your single loadout
Kind of niche, but yes.
I'd go the X stratagem, ballistic shield and either a dog or a supply pack.
Double dog sounds fun, but a bit overkill, dog and supply pack sounds like immortal crutch mode.
I just really want an excuse to use the ballistic shield more, desu.
Also eagle strafing run as last stratagem, because it's the only stratagem that does everything.

>>529579657
Jet pack and supply pack would be worth it.
Or just jetpack and hover pack if I could use either of them at any time.

>>529580380
doesn't first person reduce the recoil even further?

>>529581380
It only applies to standing and prone, and it gives you a little more finesse to pull the gun down towards targets. I wouldn't use it unless I'm hulk sniping.

>>529580338
Take your applewood smoked bacon and eat it Pilestedt. Give us trannymog and buff the sterilizer so gas dog doesn't completely outshine it.

>>529582109
sterilizer is fine, it's basically a flamethrower with a 10 second stun attached to it.
Doesn't do immediate damage but it rapes chaff on bugs and ayys.

What advantage does the sterilizer have over the gas dog?

>>529582607
It's the same use case of arc thrower and arc dog.
Both support weapons suck, so you just let a support AI play them for you instead.

>>529582607
>>529582804
Well, the Arc Thrower/Blitzer is less likely to randomly kil your teammates as long as you aim it away from them. There's no control over where the Arc Dog aims.

>>529582607
you can apply the gas faster, more deliberate and to greater extents, the dog gasses targets 1 after another in no particular order

>>529582607
you control where the gas goes, and you have a longer firing time with it. Gas dog is more just to mitigate the chaff numbers, and you have to play around when it's run out of gas.

You could also just bring both

>>529582954
You can disable it as it's about to fire, though.
And the arc thrower and blitzer can all bounce in extremely odd patterns and kill people that aren't even in your screen.

Pros: You can directly control what enemies you gas. Guard Dogs will sometimes bug out and do absolutely nothing even when there are enemies nearby and they're full on ammo.

Cons: It takes up your support weapon slot, and as a weapon it does ass for damage. Its range is also limited to what you can hit with the weapon, the Gas Dog tends to fly out and gas enemies farther out before they become a problem.

>>529583335
If you have to directly micromanage the Guard Dog in situations outside of reloading or stealth, then why the fuck are you even using a Guard Dog in the first place.

>rail cannon does less damage to factory striders than any other AT red

lobby

>>529599635
That because Rail cannon can only hit the top and that's the worst spot to hit.
Honestly, railcannon and Spear got powercreeped hard after they nerf heavies. They are overkill and don't pay off for their long cool down/limited ammo/conditional use when the standard AT can one shot most heavies so easily.

>>529599918
It's not even that, it'll hit the head or side. The problem is that the factory strider has effective ablative armor.
A rail cannon hit does only 2250 to the main body. Effectively equivalent to shooting an eat at the eye of the strider.

big reason why stun weapons are pretty under par. They're effectively staggers that need to be built up.

>>529599635
Yes, and? Up until Leviathans were added, Factory Striders were considered the strongest enemy in the game. Why should they be able to be deleted in a single attack from an auto-targeting red stratagem?

For that matter, if you know that the Factory Strider is designed in such a way that it can shrug off Orbital Railcannon, why would you use it against it? Are you under the misguided notion that, because it's the hardest-hitting single target red stratagem in the game, it has the right to kill anything in a single shot? That's not how game balance works. The right tool for the right job, if one approach doesn't work then try a different one.

>>529601075
Idk about you but I've been dreaming of a stun seccondary, and this gun overdelivers on that. I can combo anything off of one shot.

>>529601105
>Yes, and?

3 minute cooldown strategem with single targetting should do more damage to a single target than short cooldown multi target strategems.

What's the use case of the railcannon besides aiming for you.

>>529601105
Nta, but the Orbital Rail has such a long cooldown that it's worthless due to how often things like Bile Titans spawn, so the fact that it's also worthless against the only other thing large enough to warrant it existing as is, is bad design.
It either needs it's cooldown lowered to be a worthwhile heavy killer, or it needs buffed into something that can shut down things like Leviathans and Factory Striders in order to justify its cooldown.

>>529601759
Even just chunking out a huge amount of health would be fine.
It just should do more than a precision strike.

>>529601105
Yes, that's exactly what I think it should do. I fight way more than 1 strider every 3 minutes. RR one shots and has 6 shots. The least this stratagem can do is kill one factory strider for me if I waste the slot on it. Until then I'm just better off bringing an RR in any situation even if I have to treat it like an eat.

Took recoil armor instead of peak physique with the hmg, used the pacifier and those confetti fire grenades and honestly?
Really solid loadout.

Peak physique feels like it steals the lime light from your primaries too much, cause you just WANT to use your support weapon all the time. But recoil armor just enables everything in your loadout and lets the weaknesses get solved by what you bring.

Honestly much better experience than I expected, but I need to play a higher difficulty with shield devs before I get a solid consensus. The stun on pacifier honestly feels underwhelming, I'd sit there shooting the guy for a bit, stop, and realize he's still not stunned yet.

>but they (sparklers) aren't anti heavy crutches so most people pass them over ig
Lol. Lmao. I use them to kill bot tanks and factory striders all the time. Granted they're a plan B option, but that's why I think sparklers are one of the best grenades. They do a bit of everything. They're just a bit autistic about it and aren't the best at anything. Except closing lots of bug holes. Their quantity makes them best at that.

>>529605330
MGs are supposed to replace your primary, when you bring something more support oriented like eruptor or halt.

>>529605330
Recoil armor is much better for the HMG than peak physique for bot and maybe even squid. You want that mid/long range accurate fire onto target with the HMG and you don't need to switch/track target quickly for bots since they are slow.

>>529605908
I'm still using regular frag, and my second slot is reserved for ultimatum just in case my team too retarded to take out the BT hole first

>>529605932
>MGs are supposed to replace your primary,
MG and LMG maybe. But the HMG isn't a work horse unless you go PP and use it to pop heads. It's good mind you, but it doesn't really get the same energy as laying into chaff with the a hail of fire.

>>529605965
It's honestly a coin toss. PP armor will coin slot hulks extremely efficiently, and it just turns the gun into a 100 shot DCS with ap4. I cannot tell you how strong and ammo efficient that thing gets unless you try it yourself. Set it to 450 and just tap fire things.
When you get the 4 shot rhythem down, hulks will be your favorite enemy.

>>529605645
well the SEAF guys take some aggro from the bugs and then the bugs also get stuck on random shit and have trouble climbing the stairs in the extraction point and the impalers and biles cant get on the extraction point too.

>>529612765
I love the feeling of slipping a RR shot right into the eye and killing them in one shot, but there's multiple times that they've just gotten gunned down by my squad right before I shoot my shot.

>>529616464

what the hell is lowsodiumdiver?

>>529616907
reddit hugbox they had to make because the real one was probably full of people making alexus death threats up until the 60 day patch

for me it's 120 because of low tk potential, sweet cooldown, but still enough power to scuttle drops/breaches

>>529617365
120 is really good for drops and breaches.
Needs to be paired with a support weapon with ap4 though. Usually it'll soften up heavies but won't kill em.

380 is good for just "fuck that" kinda spawns.

Walking is just the best all rounder for pushing back things and then hitting the stuff behind it

>>529616736
the one thing i don't like about the 380/walking barrage is how slow they feel. throwing an airstrike during a gatling barrage fells just as, if not more effective for area denial. if they fired faster and fired more shells per salvo they'd be better

>>529618186
Yeah I agree, feels like orbitals could use charges like eagles for a final upgrade or something.

I am actually planning to make a remesh with this armor as basis because it has unique parts instead of sharing pieces with other armors but when I was switching between views of each part to see where the slicing seams would be I hid the torso and then I started laughing at it. Also these "seams on the nipple" are material seams

>>529621604
I feel like a SEAF warbond is at least on the cards. The cop/officer thing seems like it's had its time with Truth Enforcers, Masters of Ceremony, Urban Legends, and Force of Law. I reckon that means we'll get some commando/grunt stuff. That, or the long awaited support warbond. I really want a REP-80 or some kind of blowtorch primary/secondary. Destroys enemies and fixes allied vehicles. I had an idea a while back for a secondary spray pistol that'd basically just shoot Super Bondo at stuff. The idea was that you could spray your buddies down with it to give them a damage resist, but if you spray too much it immobilizes them or slows them. It's silly, but not so silly that I can't see it being added.

No. CEO already admitted they listen to delusional hugbox niggers (lowsodiumhelldivers) for feedback and these faggots unironically report bug reports as "toxic content" Keep in mind, even the main sub for HD2 couldn't handle how much dick sucking they did to AH they had to make their own sub. This is why blatant bugs stay in the game despite reports being made. This is why warbonds are terrible and have no QA testing.

>>529630052
Two suits, but you can call your other suit down after like a minute, and they haul away your old suit for reloading and repairs. It encourages you to keep your suit alive and play smart, since you loose the ability to tap out if one of your suits are destroyed.

>>529630812

People have been calling seaf squad strategem for looooong time. They knew they would be making seaf soldiers. They knew they would be making seaf armour. All they had to do was make extra gun or two and you could have seaf warbond for battle of super earth.
It takes 2 brain cells and ability to perceive time

>>529631089
Counter point. Putting out content. Then fixing said content to be in state it should have been day 1 is new content. You can rope in people to play just little longer. What more. You could sell mech parts in war bond.

>>529630954
Swedish devs especially the ones that make co op games are weirdly arrogant and holier than thou towards their community.

>>529631210
I would get it if they themselves were good at games or understood game they were handling. Then it would just be autistic dev whose vision of game differ from what people want.
But these Swedish devs. They don't get their game on fundamental level. AH dosent understand core gameplay. What kinda game this is and how it's played. And when they play the game. They suck at it.
That's why they can't fine tune or deliver content that will set things on fire. To fatsharts credit. They finally managed after years of struggling to deliver something that lit the fire in playerbase. Can't wait to see how they fuck this momentum up now.

Oh no supply pack xisters...

There should be one of those giant mouse mats with rumble. You would put your keyboard and mouse on top of it. And it would be one giving feedback for you

Why? Becouse shitty streamers and their fans love to run as lean medic and experimental infusion. Then just keep pinning all the time.
I have never seen anyone running it in my games.

>>529637363
what the fuck are you listening to
also
>chinese

Is it worth leveling up?

>>529637721
You only really need the vertical grip and muzzle brake and they're very early unlocks so yeah.

>>529637563
background noise, i forgot i had it on kek
>chinese
there was a female helldiver voice replacement i used to use, but the author had a meltie and deleted it off nexus and the last major patch broke it so I just used chinese exusia as a placeholder

>>529637234
Leaked tests with multiple ammo supply packs. Likely just testing stuff but weird they keep this shit in the files.

>>529637953
that looks like a badly edited supply pack model

>>529637997
Yeah n that's how youd test this shit.
I'm too lazy to pull up the video, but it'd be interesting if they do actually split the backpack.

>>529637772
For me it’s the angled foregrip and flash hider

super destroyers are neat for ground assaults but if the aliens just built a single warship then superearth would be fucked

>>529638603
This combo only makes sense on guns like the Adjudicator that have both bad ergo and high recoil so you can tone the former down without blowing the latter out of proportion. The Diligence is the exact opposite so you want to minimize what little recoil it has to make it a laser since it won't noticeably affect your excessively high ergo anyway.

>>529639054
they're apparently good enough for orbital battles, while on the surface of automaton planets we see them duking it out with bot warships

>>529639080
I tried vertical grip on abjudicator, and while nice the recoil is kinda insane.
Even with recoil armor.
Nice shot pattern, but reprimand just seems like best of both worlds.

>>529639616
Or you can go full recoil build and bring Peak Physique. Treat it like the MMG basically.

>>529639815
Yeh, honestly with the damage per mags and DPS being nearly identical. The AP weapons are pretty much just a matter of preference now. Kinda eyeballing the lib pen now too.
Love the verdict though, might try the reprimand out again.

>>529639815
Might try machine gun build tho too. Really satisfying gun on bugs, just wish we had a mag mod for it

Was there even a patch yesterday or are we back in maintenance mode?

>>529637363

>>529637875

>>529642028
what do you need xp for when you unlock everything at level 25

Bros how do I git gud on bot front? It's the only front where I'm just not having a good time

>>529642028
Haven't seen one in ages

>>529642680
Bring more damage.
Bring heavy armor.
Go prone.
Click heads with ap2 or click legs
Bring more damage for medium chaff clear, half the faction is killing devs.
The other half is hulks and sniping factory striders.
Go prone more.

>>529642680
What are you having trouble with?
Dying? Try sticking to cover more often and being prone.
Killing? Either git gud with your aiming skills to kill devastators, or invest in the AP3 tax.
Heavy units like hulks, tanks or factory striders? RR is frowned upon but it's a solid solution to all of that. EAT is your next best bet. AC, AMR, Railgun and HMG require some working around and knowing how to get the most out of them, but allow usage against medium enemies like walkers and devastators.

>>529642680
Bring recoilless rifle, destroy everything.

MO?

Honestly the only reason why I still playing this game is because of /hdg/ lobbies.

>>529642680
Eruptor primary and sidearm is whatever, but I prefer banana gun. Support is meant for Hulk, just leave Fact strider to your teammate if you don't want to bring RR. Or stick Thermite to their belly

>>529642680
120mm for bot drop, gun strafe for patrol and when you are being buttfucked by dozens of heavy dev and zerker. Fast cooldown too.

>eruptortranny ragdolls me for the 10 trillionth time trying to kill a single trooper bot
getting real fucking sick of metaniggers, so the entire point of buffing weapons and nerfing enemies was to make your average retard to feel like the main character, fucking over teammates with 0 cares and discouraging team work as much as possible. The Eruptor and RR is the result of constant whining from soloniggers

>HD2 at launch was like 80GB
>now sits at 120GB
That's a 50% increase in a bit over a year, will the bloat ever end?

>>529644067
I shoot any eruptranny that ragdols me more than 2 times in a minute.

>>529642949
>Bring heavy armor.
debateable.
being able to hop cover ASAP=better chance to survive

>>529638097
That would be tragic if they did so
>>529644150
The bloat will continue until morale improves

>>529644150
Don't tempt the monkey paw!
Otherwise we will get another Destiny 2 situation!

>>529644150
*laughs in compression*
I managed to press down the file size from 120gb to 80gb without anything breaking. Try CompactGUI

>>529644150
Whats all the bloat anyway? Soundfiles for other languages? Unused missions sitting in the databanks? No seriously, whats up with this shit.

>>529644519
the 4th front(liberal humans) is already in the datafiles just unactuated

>>529644657
Proof?

>>529644768
it came upon me in a dream, as it came upon your mom

>>529644657
>liberal humans
that shit would be so fucking lame

OOOOOOHBOOOOOOOOOOOOOY GOLLY GEE JENKINS!
YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE A HECKIN EBIN NEW FACTION TO FIGHT?
TOTALLY NOT RESKINNED AUTOMATONS!
THEY USE THE SAME WEAPONS AS US AND...THEY HAVE TANKS AND...WELL...THEY'RE DIFFERENT TO THE ROBOTS BECAUSE...YOU SEE...UH...THEY'RE TRAITORS!

>>529645086
Right wingers are mentally ill, please understand
>le suppression of individual freedom is so hecking based and trad lmao, I want a strongman to fuck me in the ass and tell me how to live!

It's a horde shooter, if you're creatively bankrupt, a reskinned bug faction is good idea actually.

>still no major order
So they really have all gone on vacation

Halo made the mistake of foregoing human enemies to fight. Helldivers should not do the same mistake. The setting shouldn't be left incomplete because of reddit feelings.

>>529642680
bring a medium armor with fortified (explosive resist and reduced recoil on crouch/prone)
bring heavy machinegun
the rest is preference. I personally like the marksman rifles and HMG turret with gatling orbital and precision strike.
Lasers are also really good for bots

>>529645616
nigga i fight "human" enemies daily, you ever pubdive on the dss? feels like the bots and bugs have struck a deal behind my back with those divas and are out to sabotage my ass.

>>529644380
Cheer up, Chuddie-boy. You still got Gambit.

>>529645593
New illuminate tomorrow trust the plan

>>529645431
It should lose some of the horde shooter cringe and become more tactical
Squids and bugs should get automatonized to a substantial extent until cover and remote kills become necessary meta
The community might think it wants to cqc dakka indefinitely but it doesn't

go play the fucking squid front or bug front then you smelly retard. oh wait, you dont want to, because thatd go against your narrative of a "tactical" sandbox with "light horde elements"

>>529646826
i use fire weapons exclusively

>>529647050
Squids and bugs are irrelevant and objectively unfun. Bots are the default faction now. They're the only enemies that manage to pose a semblance of tactics. Helldivers 2 stands to gain if it goes more counter strike than left for dead.

>>529635586
why did you post a picture of justin trudeau

>>529646907
whether you like to play AC is one thing but is factually the strongest support weapon on either of the three factions full stop

>>529647665
you should accept that the narrative you keep wishing for isnt gonna happen, maybe your life quality will improve. but since you're spending your time here, that is highly unlikely to happen.

I fight on all three fronts and change my weapons on every deployment

>I fight on all three fronts and change my weapons on every deployment

>>529647867
Everything I predicted and wished for has happened so far. It'll keep doing that. You should enjoy the current state of the game as much as you can. Things will not remain as braindead easy as they are now.

There was break between AH and sony. "Content" we are seeing is old stuff that was in files allready. Dev time was 8 years. Game has been maintance mode since day 1. They are just slowly rolling out content they made during those 8 years.

>>529658623
NTA
new mission types, new biomes
reworking bricks and eradicate missions as they are boring as fuck
why can't they make eradicate into it being a full map mission ~25min timer and every few minutes new bug breach/drop happens at a random spot on the map

>>529658623
we need like 10 new missions and sub objectives

The sweet sound of victory.

>>529659416
My aim is mediocre as fuck and I manage to pull off crazy shit with AMR often. dps is immense, maintenance is medium low compared to guns of similar power. Issue is on your end.

I aim going to activate my hellbomb backpack and get into your APC and there is nothing you can do to stop me.

>Reeeeee don't take away my guns and cars.

>>529659456
I like Pilestedt. Good take from a swede, and one that lives in Stockholm at that, that's uncommon. He might be the only man that actually gives a shit about the game at this point.

>>529660360
>He might be the only man that actually gives a shit about the game
which bodes poorly considering he stopped working on it some time ago

>>529660141
He's right though. Eco faggots are killing motorsports and it's lame as fuck. They make up an immeasurably small amount of emissions and yet they're forced to comply with retarded regulations.

>>529660456
It does, and it shows with the quality of the updates as well. I'm unironically holding out hope for them developing HD3 right now, with a real engine (not UE5) and an actual sustainable future not reliant on the four people in the world that still know how to use Stingray

>>529659416
have you tried it since the big AP rework? it's a lot more generous with the hitboxes now, the only downside is hulks are slightly more annoying because the non-crit hitboxes can overlap the mailslot while it's moving and eat your shots

>>529660141
he is 100% right
let men have guns and fast cars and places to let it all loose

>>529660754
why would they ever be developing HD3 with HD2 being only 1.5 years old and still have a massive playerbase

>>529660647
chinese and indians polluting their surrounding water, contributing the majority of all micro and macro plastic pollution? chinese dragnet fishing fleets raping the ocean floor to feed their population? chinese freight ships accounting for the vast majority of air pollution? Private jets?
Not an issue. Stop talking about it. No more motorcycles for you.

>>529661091
because autodesk stingray is a piece of unworkable shit that they themselves can barely use and can't make basic changes or additions to?
Enjoying that FSR1 upscaling in 2025?

>>529660754
Even setting aside the engine woes of HD2, I think the biggest issue is that the people maintaining the game are just fucking retarded. I would put a lot of money on the bet that the people who made HD2 and the people who are maintaining it are two distinct groups. Without even mentioning how horribly mismanaged the game is, where more content gets cut than gets added.
