>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?
HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 crossplay, co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC, PS5 and XBox Series X/S 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 in a procedurally generated level while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful operations, a planet can be defended or 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 a shared screen top-down shooter in the same setting. Its mechanics were based primarily on Arrowhead's first game, Magicka.

>>530299020
This is how I feel when I see a leandiver in my lobby with voice type 1 or 3.
I always take supply pack and stim pistol so I can feed them with ammo and stims while burying my face in their ass.

>mfw being an AMR user in 2025
I am the last, I am the last, I am the last...

surprised there isn't an automaton suicide bot yet
I imagine a space roomba with a mine on top

>>530299762
suicide bombing isn't much of a viable field tactic
I think all factions are due for the opposite, snipers, so you can't just ignore everything past a 150m radius

Go now - and fear the shadow of neither death nor tyranny, for Justice is your cause.

Are there any proper arrow mods for rare samples in particular?

Rares are a pain in the ass to collect.

>>530299762
Release automaton jetpack troopers were this. They just jetpacked onto you, tried their best to stab you and if you shot them the jetpack exploded taking you with them.

>>530298939 (OP)
Just started playing a few days ago. Pretty fun so far. I like the big nuke you can drop with your jet. Autocanon is beastly. I wanna get the recon vehicle so I can zip around the stage.

>>530300209
Just the regular sample mod is what you're gonna want
Listen in for the sound of them, I have to admit after fielding the mod for a while I learned where they are and just echolocate the ones I can't remember well but overall the game is still bullshit for requiring rares so often

>>530299149
nah

>>530300453
make sure to try the eagle strafing run for an adult's air support and use your recon vehicle with care because it likes to spontaneously combust and flip over.

>>530300771
Well, one of the last. Both primaries and support weapons became 2stronk for poor little mini mag AMR to keep up. I still enjoy playing it but it's become a pretty rare pick for me. AC and RG are too amazing on any target you could shoot your AMR at and HMG is pretty much only missing a telescope to be the superior sniper rifle. Also take any medpen primary to an acid storm - or really just eruptor to any biome - and find an excuse to be carrying AMR still. Shit is great dps when used optimally but still just mid. It deserves an upgrade but we got a whole bunch of abominations like the arc thrower lined up to get one first. Super grim.

>>530300890
But I like the 500KG nuke. The orbital laser is fun too.

>>530299149
Honestly, too much shit spawns in higher dificulties for low volume of fire weapons that can't OHKO tank armor.

AMR can only recover with something like either: Full damage vs durable of anti-tank penetration.

>>530301596
We know, anon, but you'll grow out of them
They're the most flashy and noob-trappy stratagems in the game, not counting the orbital railcannon strike

>>530301701

wow this entire warbond is SHIT

>>530301825
the rifle is very fun actually but sadistic swedes like to torture early adopters with anemic damage

>>530300890
Strafing run is only good on bots because their patrols always conga line and you can kill fabs easily with it. It's sub-optimal on every other faction.

>>530301825
I think the Arc-GL is good, I play bugs btw

>>530301825
My understanding is that people use it to destroy spawners from afar. Also, it doesn't lose damage at long range because the point of origing for the explosion is where the grenade lands.

Would probably be better if limbs weren't explosion immune on enemies.

>>530302174
is that fucking real?

>>530302174
>instakills impalers
>bugs are THE conga line faction
??

>>530301825
None of those pissy little complaints matter because the enemies are so weak and nonthreatening.

>>530302745
With bugs, it can basically kill everything. Even their tank armor rated stuff. Tho, you may need to call in two.

>>530300890
Punisher Plasma flips the car without doing too much damage to it, even with direct shots. It's practically required if you want to really learn it, I'm surprised nobody on the thread ever mentions it. You can flip it over five times before you get too close to ruining the car.
>>530300453
Get the Punisher Plasma. The car is only ever viable against factions the weapon is great against, usually. Bug megacities changed this, but it's whatever.

>>530302745
>impalers
Impalers die to anything
>bugs are THE conga line faction
You don't play the game.

>>530302174
it's not the finest eagle on squids but extremely useful on bugs, there's not a bug I haven't killed in bulk with strafing run

>>530302174
to be honest you can get all of the enemies in a reinforcement wave into a conga line by kiting them

I am once again asking you to oppose bots on shartball-VII

>>530304271
anti-material rifle irl literally just means helldivers equivalent of the diligence counter sniper at the lowest. the phrase "anti-material rifle" came about because wwii anti-tank rifles stopped being good at killing tanks as armor got better. it's a rebrand of a failed weapon so they shifted to bragging about being able to kill on-foot targets through brick walls.

>>530304239
its still not gonna happen, unless you make it weak as fuck so that it needs those 4 shots to kill a hulk

>>530301701
Anon, people defend Quasar, a weapon that takes nearly a minute to kill two tanks instead of 6 seconds it'dd take with RR. Its other upsides include killing unmoving fabs that only spawn chaff (and again, you'd spend two minutes blowing up a single heavy base where one barrage would achieve same thing in one throw, both having unlimited uses). If people can pick Quasar, people can pick AMR. At least AMR handles mediums well.

Explain this phenomenon

>>530304524
The sniper rifle in halo kills tanks by shooting it straight at the armor (multiple times) It blows them up. It's anti-tank penetration equivalent in helldivers.

>>530303784
I would prefer more iconic guns. You know like that triangle gun that goes pew pew pew. Or that big pistol that would go bang bang bang. I like the sniper and rocket launcher though I remember those.

>>530306075
It's a low volume of fire weapon that can OHKO tank armor. Your lack of reading comprehension is disturbing.

>>530306626
depends entirely on the game. halo 1 through 3 the sniper rifle literally did not do shit to vehicles outside of sniping the driver with a clear los through the gaps. it's only halo reach and onward where the sniper rifle started decimating vehicles, and the fanbase largely considers this one of the worst moves bungie ever made with reach before they bailed for destiny.

>>530304524
Its anti-materiEl. It doesnt fire antimatter. Yes, it historically meant at rifles that became obsolete at harming tanks, but it shifted to something else. For past half a decade AMRs have generally had smaller caliber than AT rifles of old: their intended use is for harming lighter vehicles like troop transports and the like. In their role their benefits are significantly higher fire rate, lack of need of loader, higher accuracy, vastly cheaper ammunition and vastly lower chance of your location being compromised upon shooting. They arent used for blind trickshots through the walls, what the fuck have you been smoking?

>>530306796
>"Honestly, too much shit spawns in higher dificulties for low volume of fire weapons that can't OHKO tank armor"
Quasar is low volume of fire weapon that cant OHKO tank armor. Heavy, yes, but not tanks. Even turret shits dont OHKO anything but shredder tanks.

>>530302174
retarded cat nigger and shit take many such cases

>>530306531
AMR was always worse than the AC, and a bunch of faggots have always been clamoring for AMR buffs to put it on par with the AC
Honestly the only buff it needs is getting more clips back from ammo packs, only getting one is a joke

>>530306916
>They arent used for blind trickshots through the walls, what the fuck have you been smoking?
nobody said this. you've taken what i did say and twisted it into something unrecognizable. the manufacturers needed an excuse to keep pumping out anti-tank rifles that could no longer kill tanks, otherwise they were not only sitting on thousands of rifles that they couldn't sell, the manufacturing would be halted completely. counter-sniping targets behind manufactured cover in urban environments was one of the pitches put forward.

>>530306798
In the old games, human tanksjust transferred the body damage to the player. You could shoot the sniper at the tank's threads and kill blue or red masterchiefs without aiming at ports or nothing. In later games, they got a health bar that you could very much deplete with straight sniper fire. In all games, the sniper rifle kills convenant tanks straight through armor, because those had health bars.

>>530307835
>In the old games, human tanksjust transferred the body damage to the player.
it was incredibly minor chip damage from small arms fire, and the sniper also had a tendency to ricochet off vehicle surfaces and deal zero damage instead of 5% damage. the only reliable way to kill vehicles was another vehicle or the rocket launcher. this is what made banshees so oppressive in halo 2 especially where they didn't have limited flight angles.

>>530307329
" it's a rebrand of a failed weapon so they shifted to bragging about being able to kill on-foot targets through brick walls."

Has it been a full year yet since the last time that they gave us super destroyer upgrades? I need something to spend samples on.

>>530307270
You're shit at the game, retard.

>>530300298
>Release automaton jetpack troopers were this (suicide bot).
Do they not still do this? I was ultra paranoid to always leg shot the jeet brigade the other week.

>>530308424
you've twisted the implied "with this here rifle, no enemy sniper is safe even behind that there brick wall. be assured in your superior firepower with the *new amr. please for the love of god do not liquidate these rifles we spent tons of money on them" into "yo dude check out this sick trick shot lmao"

that's what i take grievance with.

Stats time:
Out of a total of 100 major orders, the helldivers have won 72 and lost 28. That is a 72% win rate.
Of the 34 bug orders, the helldivers have won 32 and lost 2. That is a 94.12% win rate.
Of the 34 bot orders, the helldivers have won 25 and lost 9. That is a 73.53% win rate.
Of the 12 squid orders, the helldivers have won 6 and lost 6. That is a 50% win rate.
Of the 20 mixed-front orders, the helldivers have won 9 and lost 11. That is a 45% win rate.

>>530302174
Every faction conga lines at you.

>>530301720
500kg is still the best airstrike because it kills objectives either faster, on bugs and squids, or that no other airstrike can, on bots. The fact it can be used on patrols and heavies as well is just a nice bonus.

>>530309267
500kg is good, but I think strafing run blows it out of the water on bots. About the only thing 500kg is better for one bots is killing detector towers, and there are multiple ways to solve that problem. This is even more pronounced for a newfag that doesn't have the SD upgrade that gives 500kg two call ins.

>>530309057
>irrelevant lust-provoking image

>Anon, I need (You) to help me redesign the Illuminate.
What is your response?

>>530309820
A 500 kg can nuke a Factory Strider or leave it very nearly dead while deleting anything near it, a Strafing Run will hardly scratch it and won't kill anything below it.

>>530309267
I kicked everyone who uses redditbomb and panic throwing that shit at my feet.

>>530309210
>hunters, predators and overseers literally hard coded to flank you
>every faction conga lines
I see it's another "botnigger has no clue how the game works" episode.

>>530301825
It does have a minimum range like the Grenade Launcher and Grenade Pistol. You just think it's farther than it actually is and are blaming the game instead of yourself.

And the revolving chamber reload is actually pretty nice. They could have just made it work exactly like the existing Grenade Launcher with a belt feed, but the six-chamber magazine is neat.

>>530310075
yeah, give me a few hours

>>530310146
Most people don't notice because most people at this point take the Gun Dog or Stink Dog. Both of them completely disarm the most dangerous enemies the bugs throw at you.

>>530309820
There is nothing in a patrol that I can't kill with my guns, and a pre-emptive 500kg call in on a bot drop does substantially more work by actually killing things instead of softening them up. Learning to land the 500kg beacon from a distance also teaches him to throw stratagems accurately, while not having two charges is fine since he'll learn to not rely on having a red up all the time.

Speaking from my anecdotal experience, I prefer Strafing Run over the 500 by virtue of the fact that I've watched the 500kg just not kill things within its radius before my very eyes.

>>530310146
Wow, three whole enemies! How's reaching level 25 treating you, newfriend? Have you tried out the mechs yet?

>>530310075
Throw out the voteless and fleshmobs, replace them with enemies that are actually illuminates.

>>530310075
I tell him sure then rape him after I step inside his office and escape with thousands of Swedeshekels.

>>530310075
This >>529678839
Also, rebalance Fleshmob spawn frequency and keep rebalancing the Leviathan.

>>530310115
I find strafing run to be way more cost effective vs factory striders. The only precondition is someone failing to poke the eye, resulting in a cracked helmet and exposed noggin. You need at least two 500kgs to knock out a factory strider. They have too much HP and a lot of their bits are resistant to explosions.

At the end of the day, you're still far better off using support weapons and/or grenades vs a FS' weakpoints than you are tossing any red stratagem at it.

>>530310282
>Fag throws one at bot drop
>Thought I'm at fairly safe distance from the blast
>One commissar bot managed to nearly reach me
>I died from the blast
>It did not.

>>530310075
Turn them into the convenant. Copy paste their units from combat evolved.

>>530310282
For me it's just the 5 uses
It's so damn versatile having 5 of the things

>>530310278
It's pretty rare for the bots to drop close enough for one 500kg to hit more than one dropship worth of enemies at a time, and a strafing run also handily murders one dropship worth of enemies at a time.

If we talk about rewarding precision, a singular strafing run will kill hulks and tanks if you precisely drop it right in front of the target so that they get hit at the start of the run where the strafing run shots are most tightly clustered. Compared to a 500kg that will kill those targets within a far lazier radius. The reward for mastering that precision is a substantially larger number of call ins.

>>530310278
can you post your hours?
and the career page while you're at it
thanks

Strafing Run + Commando + EAT is spammable and universally good that it bends the bots over and decimates their exhaust assholes. It's so universally good against everything they have that you effectively have a free 4th slot. You can even take the Fag Flag and not be impeded in any meaningful way.

It's significantly stronger against bots, since it can wipe out an entire base with ease, but it's still extremely good against bugs and squids.

>>530310905
It's just useful.

Commando in particular just completely fucking wrecks factory striders. Call it down and concentrate fire on a foot or the eye and it's just dead. No need for the drooling masses to throw every red and the kitchen sink at one.

Bugdivers, is there a good place to attack an impaler if they're just standing around menacingly? Let's say that you have one EAT. I know that you can kill them with one shot if they deploy the tentacles, but is there anything worth attacking if they just stand around and stay buttoned up?

>>530311489

>>530298939 (OP)

They are always mixed in with all the other enemies coming in from right in front of us. Are they bugged?

>>530311809
Shoot the leg and magdump it

>>530311942
big ass futas

>>530310075
Need to emphasis what would make them unique from bugs or bots. Stealth and cloaking, shields, psionic mindfuckery, powerful rituals and spells etc. Right now they feel like some shitty zombie faction plus a few random units thrown in.
The Voteless and Fleshmobs can stay, and they should still come in hordes, but the hordes should be a lot rarer and reliant on a Necromancer or something that controls them.
The Necromancer reanimating dead Helldivers would also be cool.

>>530311942
They are men according to the shoulder to hip ratio. Unless super earthians are different from IRL humans.

>>530311942
Depends on the voice.

Speaking of voices. When the fuck are we getting the datamined new ones? I want the fucking Super Cowboy voice.

>>530311916
Yeah, it's not exactly my favored style either and some of the pacing harkens back to things I'm not a huge fan of.

>>530310282
you can also throw it at your feet and not die, unlike many stratagems

>>530311809

>>530312312
>frag beneath chin
will sparkler grenades work?

>>530312312
it also bears importance that you can sometimes bait them to open up by plinking them with whatever gun you have, at which point they may aggro and open up with the tentacle attack.

>>530312563
I never tried it, but I assume yes. The reason I use frags is that you get more of them and the shrapnel is really good when the enemy is right on top of it. If the sparkler's damage is similar or better, it should work the same.

>none of the polar armors are white

>>530312737
Is there a way to get sparklers to stay put? They always seem to bounce off to fucking Super Pakistan when I throw them.

>>530312737
You get six sparklers baseline, and the sparks inflict AP5 damage that can kill tanks. You can kill factory striders with them by tossing a few at its feet. But I don't know if the important hitboxes on an impaler will get hit by the sparks. As I type this I wonder if it would just make more sense to target the impaler's feet with the sparklers.

>>530313123
For the first few moment's of the sparkler's life, it's extremely vulnerable to getting kicked around by enemies touching it. They're more stable once they get going and are airborne. Try not to hit the enemies directly, and try to time it so that they won't get within touching distance of it until after it gets airborne.

>5-stock Eagle stratagem that is capable of killing, or severely wounding, every enemy in the game
You're never killing a charger, bile titan or harvester with one strafe. Only thing that it consistently kill is an impaler which is a compete non issue because it dies to AP2.
>capable of wiping out enemy spawners
1 strafe for 1 hole when a heavy bug nest has 11-14 holes is not a good deal (can't kill bile titan holes either). Saucers don't die to 1 strafe unless you break the shield.

DURABLE IS BULLSHIT. Just give things you want to die slower more health or more armor. I don't need an additional super secret hidden TTK modifier.

what was the name of this character need to goon to it

>>530311809
get close, it will raise its head up to crush you, shoot a rocket into its mouth that it exposes during this animation. dead.

You guys should try changing your load out from time to time. Makes the game a little bit more fun even though the enemies have been turned into a joke.

>>530310075
>>Anon, I need (You) to help me redesign the Illuminate.
I don't even play this game, but I'll give an honest answer. The Illuminate look like they ported over models from Destiny. There is no unique visual flair present.
The bots suffer a similar thing. Everything with them is taken from somewhere else, and there is no unique visual identity.
The bugs? They're generic enough where you can't directly place it, but they still reek of StarCraft 2 era muscle Zerg.
Helldivers 2 is really shit when it comes to "unique IP identity".

>>530316491
>he REALLY doesn't know
oh no no no...

>>530316786
what if i use the default loadout and still think the game was hideously balanced before?

>>530317149
noo! nooooo! you must be using the meta gear!!!! my strawman says so!!!!!!

>>530316829
And I'll be honest. Being unique and STYLISH is fucking hard. Because you end up trapped in trope town. You end up trapped between Starship Troopers and the Covenant down most roads unless you say fuck it.
Even with more unique aliens like the Thargoids in Elite, and it's a thing that's not commonly realized, they went for human cultural memory as the theme. Thargoids scouts look like silver age UFOs. Thargoid interceptors look like biblically-accurate Seraphim. Scythes look like nothing, and Frontier pussed out on ever designing ground units or showing the Thargoids themselves.
Design is hard, especially if you want something with aesthetics. But Helldivers just steals.

>>530317149
Nothing wrong with that, however the current balance is even more atrocious.

How many times does the eagle strafing fire per strafe?

>>530317694
up to a hundred

>>530310075
easy my dude
we spawn voteless on diff 5 and lower only from now on, on 6 and above they get fully replaced by elevated voteless that are cool acrobatic & lethal mini overseers, pertty much humans that reaped the benefits of going illuminerd, fun to kill
we roll all the overseers into one unit that can do all of the moves because doing anything else would be nonsense
we make the stingrays more durable and numerous
we add the ghouls, councilors, obelisks
we figure the fuck out how to let them make walls that can separate squads
we add another sweet new heavy unit, maybe a fortified tripod, maybe some form of the great eye
we give the squids a unique megabase that's like an overship under construction, you have to get to the center of the compound and make the dark fluid drive collapse in on itself, it happens so fast that it might spaghettify several divers in the process

Like cool we're on d10 flag raising bot mission and you're using a Pummeler, why on earth are you also using a machinegun and the cluster bomb? where's your AP? you're the host of this gambit, at least read the room and take something that allows (you) to damage heavy armor, even if it's just a Senator
The game is in a sweet spot of allowing you to fuck around hard and cover your bases with just one tool (or two if you really fuck around with melee), sometimes things just don't add up with peoples loadouts

>>530318802
Other guy said it already but highly specialized load outs are typically dumb. Everyone's load out should have at least one answer for every type of enemy. Specialized load outs make sense if you're playing close and cooperating with your team. But since the need for any cooperation was essentially removed from the game in the buff patch, you might as well take a flexible load out every time.

>>530317371
And I'm currently raking over this trying to come up with answers to questions like, "How do you design a suitably alien alien?" or "How do you present style without falling prey to the "Apple white, chrome, and purple lights" trope?" And that is genuinely hard. Because alien design is often, understandably, whiffed. People go for near-human species, and as much as it chafes those who want something more elaborate and bizarre, it makes sense. Evolution veers towards simplicity and effectiveness. For all of evolution's natural wonders on Earth, humans are the single species that ticks all the criteria that are 100% necessary for a species to survive. Longevity, dexterity, durability, intelligence, social acumen. Humanity really does excel at basically everything. Other creatures are capable of feats born of limited intelligence and dexterity, but for a similar evolutionary track to result in an "alien" you'd need the pressure to send it down a path that results in something rudimentarily human before a rudimentary human emerged from the system. You'd need them to discover fire in a way where it becomes usable as a tool. An underwater creature may learn of a geothermal vent and come to understand "heat", but how does it come to understand what that represents? How does it pass on that knowledge, even if language is present, absent the fundamental ability to understand what it's describing? There is no capacity to experiment meaningfully. Thus, there is no utilization. Thus, they are doomed. Thus, successful alien species must embody what humans fundamentally are with regard to the capability for experimenting with their environment. And so if you want a "realistic" alien species, you're fundamentally penned. But you still have leverage with how you present the basic concepts.

I'll keep your clip's solution in mind as an option, but normally the situation that I have in mind is that I'm busy dealing with a big pile of other bugs and an impaler is standing around being menacing in the background. Too far away for me to trigger that smash attack in your clip. I was curious if there was any convenient way to delete them while they were buttoned up and you have access to an EAT?

Gunships were pretty much entirely invulnerable to the MMG. Durable damage on it was so awful you needed to spend an absurd amount of ammo to the weak spots of all heavies back then. The MMG is better now but even then it's less than ideal vs bots when compared to the HMG, as an example.

there are about 50 ways to instakill a charger

Your concession was already accepted 6 posts ago. This is just a humiliation ritual at this point.

>>530322393
The damage distribution of strafing run isn't uniform across the line. Impacts are most densely clustered at the very start of the strafe. For maximum value vs hard targets like a charger or annihilator tank, you basically want the beacon to be immediately in front of the target. Less than 1m ideally. Even in your clip you can visibly see how the trench dug in the dirt by the bullets is deeper right at the very start.

>>530322393

Shit, even that much makes me want to use a strafe, 5 uses makes that something even to pop off a leg.

Speaking of which, while it's relevant, I actually really have issues with chargers. Less killing them (Aim for legs, back, etc., use AT, they're just tanky), but more dealing with their movement. I can take them out fine if they're not doing their bullshit, but I keep getting killed by them out of nowhere. Like they come silently running out of the mist of some random corner on a foggy ass planet, I try and dodge, and they run me down.

I've looked up tactics on it, I've seen it on video, but I don't fucking get it. If I dodge perpendicular, they just loop around. If I try and dive on a diagonal toward them, half the time I just get hit, and on the occasions I don't, they seem to make a 90 degree fucking turn and do it anyways. To the point I feel like something got glitched with their movement like the Hulk occasionally, but it's really pissing me off since I handle bugs fine otherwise and dodge everything else in the game.

>tl;dr: Charger charge, how dodge, what do?
>Hard mode: No rocket use or "git gud"

>>530323561

>Strike mark like 10 meters in front of the charger
How do you keep missing it? You are doing this on purpose, no way you are this bad.

>>530321024
I'm not trying to be cringe, though I realize it comes off that way. The question just intrigued me. Like, consider armor. Consider costume and dress. Consider masks. Why do humans wear masks in the context of cult, ritual, and military? Function is key for the military context, but if we're getting into ceremony, you have the presence of the uncanny valley. You're utilizing a mask to tap into a surreal element. You're creating something that is jarring to other humans, either to evoke something otherworldly or overtly frighteningly. So if you have an alien doing something similar, whatever they do might be toward that same goal, but their natural design structure wouldn't be tailored to humanity. Now, in Helldivers 2 that ship has fucking sailed and so anything being put forward would be aimed against humanity, because humanity is the monolithic threat that has united the aliens. So it makes sense that designs would intentionally fuck with humans psychologically.

Game coming to XSS is good because it unironically forces the Swedes the finally optimize the game. Maybe they'll actually invest in some fucking occlusion culling, an apparent lost art in today's video games.

The following is more for anyone who actually cares to learn to use the strategem. It is not an explanation for you, because you already showed that you don't give a fuck to understand what people are telling you.

As the other guy already explained. The initial burst on the of the damage is on the very first spot it hits. It's why it craters the ground much deeper than the rest of the strafe. This is why people are calling the guy posting the webems a blind faggot. Because he keeps missing the strategem by so much you can actually see the strike point on the ground in fromt fo the charger.

>>530327204
There's no flip-flopping. The two chargers are obviously straddling the impact site and the initial burst of damage is split between both chargers rather than being concentrated onto the stunned one.

This is such a convoluted situation that you've got to be pretending to be retarded on purpose.

Recoilless can kill Annihilators from any angle on any part. Quasar and EAT can only one-shot to the heat sink or engine compartment, since the rest of the turret has exactly 100 more HP than either can deal in a single shot.

Strangely, this doesn't seem to apply to the tower turrets, where a Quasar shot to the side can kill them in one hit, it only fails when trying to shoot directly at its face.

Kill the chin guns first so that they don't wreck you. Shield generator emplacements can help with that. Then take your pick of one of the following:
>the "eye"
>one of its feet
>its belly (concentrate fire on ONE door).

The belly is the weakest and only has armor level 3, but getting into position to shoot it can be risky. The "eye/inner head" is the weakest armor level 4 vital point, but sometimes some weapons struggle to hit it and the FS can tend to move its head around. The foot is the most exposed part of the inner leg assembly and is the easiest vital point to shoot since it doesn't move much. Each leg has its own HP pool. Killing one leg kills the FS. It has more HP than the inner head, but it can be an easier target and it is the easiest one to engage with pyrotech grenades.

It did take a lot of fire from different sources, but factory striders have a metric SHIT TON of HP spread across dozens of different components. Its main health pool has ten thousand HP. Virtually its HP is much higher than that once you take into account damage resistances, durability, and pass-through damage reduction from hitting the assorted parts. That's why they take so much of a beating when people are just blindly throwing damage at it. To kill it quickly you need to concentrate fire on a singular subcomponent that will outright kill the FS as a side effect so that you don't need to deplete all 10k HP. In that clip, the "might of super earth" is just a rocket sentry blating it. Just glancing at the FS's stats, most of its armor plates are armor level 5 with 100% durability, 40% explosive damage resistance, and 30% transfer to main HP. The rocket sentry inflicts 525 AP5 direct damage and 150 AP 3 explosion. So the armor is immune to the explosions and only receives 65% of the direct damage. That's ~341 damage per hit. Five rockets hit, for a total of ~1700 damage split across multiple appoints. 30% passed through to the main HP, so the rocket sentry only depleted ~500 HP out of its factory strider's 10,000 HP pool

Meanwhile the quasar cannon instantly deleted 2000 of the front left foot's 3500 HP, and the sparklers quickly depleted the remaining 1500 HP.

>>530316786
Ive made a build with literally every strategem and gun.
The game is fairly balanced, hyper reliant on blues, greens are way over tuned compared to reds. Eagles are in a good place. Orbitals are atrocious in most cases.
Explosives and one tap precision weapons are top tier in every scenario, save flames.
Urchins are secretly broken, gas grenades are obviously broken. Basic grenades are extremely undertuned.
Heavy armor is unironically hard mode.
Nerf resupply pack.
Annnnnnd squids>bugs>bots in terms of difficulty if you bring meta. If you dont- well they're all ass cancer.

>>530339550
Fleshmobs need a redesign.
Should be reliable to stun, staggerable.
Shouldn't stun lock players in heavy armor forcing a stim because of the stamina drain.
Impacts and HE should do more against them, but shouldn't buff other explosions.
Higher AP needs a niche against them, and shooting their core should be more rewarding.

They just need more going on imo.

>>530336148
Whenever I drop into a bugdiver mission, it feels like a good 60% of players have no plan whatsoever for encountering:
>bile titans
>chargers
>impalers
>bile spewers
It's like they go full on chaff maxing with shit like eagle cluster strike, orbital airburst, stalwart, etc. They only contribute to killing the little shits, and are outright safety hazards to their teammates with every red that they throw. Gatling sentries dropped within 5m behind teammates, etc. Even at the mega nests all that they do is use 380s or orbital napalm to make it completely non-tennable for me to enter the nest to close the bile titan hole, and buying plenty of time for bile titans to spawn. Sometimes we get lucky and the big guns close the hole, but that's a rarity.

make it a three-shot mini barrage for increased beaten area and direct impact gamble ability, I think that's the perfect way to make it more than an orbital gas grenade with a moderately bigger cloud

>>530351769
... gas strike is one of the best red strats we have
where do these people come from?

>>530352098
Straight from fucking Reddit, I bet

>>530352098
Gas grenade out performs it in a pinch.
Gas mines are better for breaches, which is the one time you'd have setup for gas orbital.
Only reason to bring gas orbital is if you want to save on gas grenades.

Gas orbital needs more damage per second to set it apart from the grenade, a wider radius, and just better call in time.

>>530351916
ragdolling in this game is just confusing.
Sometimes your ragdolling is you fall to the ground because you got hit in the face with devastator rocket and immediately snap back to standing like nothing happened.
other times a rocket hits the ground a metre infront of you, sends ragdolling forward and you lay on your face for a second before slowly getting up.
BUT then sometimes you shoot a factory strider with an AT rocket and it dies, flies into the atmosphere and then lands on another helldiver 300m away.
Funny and confusing

>>530351769
The point of gas isn't to do damage, it's to crowd control, it would be like saying EMS doesn't do enough damage. If you want to buff gas, it would be smarter to buff something like the AoE, Duration, or Cooldown.

Hey someone took my image for the OP.... kewl

>>530352437
It could use like 50 damage at least, again to set it apart from the grenade and the mines. A wider radius would be nice, but that's just gas mines, and cooldown would be nice but the cooldown isn't the problem.

For me though it's the call in time honestly that kills it.

>>530352629
>For me though it's the call in time honestly that kills it.

as >>530352087 I don't disagree that it's really great, well-rounded, it was an autopick for me. but the problem is that the grenade is an incredibly effective pocket version of it, one of few orbitals that's heavily supplanted by the nearest throwable equivalent.

that's not saying much when every orbital has the same time to launch. But it has to confirm the position, be typed in, and then launch. which is upwards of 4 seconds compared to grenade, 8 with call in mod.

I meant to say that orbital gas has the lowest CD of the orbitals. It's a fantastic red already.
Its radius is larger and it lasts longer than gas grenades and can destroy structures so it still fulfills its own niche.

You certainly seem to think that way.

I want you to remember that every time shazamniggers were screaming about how the game would fail and it's shit and slop and Arrowhead will never break their own goal of like 10k recurring right before making millions of sales, that Gucci Slippers was there shilling right with them

I want you to remember that when the launch was glitched to fuck & back and the balance was realism for thee not for me faggot shit excused by "muh milsim" autism, Gucci Slippers was there saying anyone who didn't like the status quo must be bad and any reference to the original game was irrelevant

I want you to remember that when retards were insisting Alexus was actually based and not a game destroying money running ukroserbian niggerfaggot responsible for every single bad gameplay decision or undocumented fuckup made, that he was responsible for both tonguing slavswigger balls and insisting this very retardation wasn't actually happening

I want you to remember that after we got patched closer to the arcade balance paradigm of the original- we're not even fully there yet- that he was doomcrying that the game was ruined because he enjoyed having his balls crushed as though running straight into a concealed MG nest on Foxhole, an entirely separate game he could still play for this feel

I want you to remember that as hopium maxxers looked into leaks & datamines and proclaimed that vehicle skins, weapon customization, armor skins & weapon/strat upgrade systems were all inevitable after the sheer commercial success- we're halfway through those predictions as of now- he was right there saying it wasn't possible and the game was already dead and if any of it was added it would be bad because reasons

/hdg/, REMEMBER WHAT GUCCI SLIPPERS DID TO YOU

Not really.
Very likely they want it to do full lobby damage because that's what they test on.
There is no way they want this thing to take 6 shots to kill medium chaff with a headshot, or blow up fucking hulks from the back taking more than 4 shots.

>>530358695
the arcs do 55 damage each. if part of the process of fixing the bug is increasing the damage of each arc that means it will actually do its job against smaller units instead of doing fuck all.

1. Taking and losing planets doesn't fucking matter, the front is exactly where Joel wants it to be. If he wants planets close to Super Earth, nothing we can do will stop him from throwing random level 20 bug attacks during a squid or bot MO, or a bot attack during a bug or squid MO. And if he wants us to push the front away from Super Earth, he'll schedule an MO for it.

2. The Blob in general tends to prioritize planets close to Super Earth (thus why Curia is the main target instead of Duma Tyr, which would cut off Oslo Station for a free secondary win), and planets with limited-time content. Why do you think the Blob decided to engage the Jet Brigade at every opportunity during the previous bot MO instead of much easier simultaneous defenses, and why the bug planet with the most players is the one with the Predator Strain and two megacities?

I'd ABSOLUTELY settle for reskins of reds.
I am sick of bringing 500 because nothing else does what it does.

I've tried precision strike, but call in time or cooldown knee caps it. Railcannon is decent on bugs, but it's still hard to justify. Airstrike can only break bug holes, and I'll take it if I'm on bugs but-

500
>Only good board wipe
>Only good building breaker
>Only reliable biletitan/factory strider killer

Like I would take any other strategem that did any ONE of those things as efficiently as 500.

>>530358293
It's fun and funny. On the short fuse, you just have to cook it a bit before tossing, and it has a really big splash radius which makes it good for killing groups of enemies and reliably blowing up Lightning Spires. And if you set it to 60 seconds, just toss a bunch around extract at around the 30-second mark to make everybody panic and get into the shuttle faster.

I agree that the stats could be fiddled with some, like better fuse timings and the ability to destroy buildings. Currently it's sort of like the release Tenderizer, just the same as or outright worse than existing options. But after one or two balance passes, it could turn into something useful. After all, remember that release Thermite was literally the worst grenade in the game, but after a single patch it's now considered the meta option.

do you use it on bots or just bugs? do you airburst it? i tried it on bots and i didnt see any evidence of the supposedly wide blast radius at all and it seemed incapable of wiping a single patrol or drop. you get almost double the amount of pyrotechs and just one of those can wipe a bot drop so i just cant justify it for bots.

How would I fix?
Motivational shock applies to EMS.
Sentry resupply applies to all pods.
Bonus and faster reinforcements get compiled into one, and increase the MINIMUM amount of reinforcements you get to your lobby size. EG if you have 4 players, bonus reinforcements will start working when you lose your fourth last reinforcement.
Faster leave time... I dunno. Pelican gets more ammo and follows you around if you decide to cheese the call in.

>sample printer
the heavier the enemy the more samples they make and the higher tier they make in addition to lower tier ones. so a hive guard will drop 1 common but a behemoth will drop 2 commons and a rare while a bile titan will drop like 4 commons, 1 to 2 rares, and occasionally a super. stacks with sample duper of course

1. Increase base Stim supply to 3/4 (5/6 with Med Kit), so that Hellpod Space Optimization only increases spawn-in carried Stims by 1. Spawning with half stims is the entire reason people bring HSO, if the booster didn't literally double the amount of Stims you spawn with then it wouldn't be picked nearly as often.

2. UAV Recon Booster causes radars to work like standard radars when under the effects of Atmospheric Spores or Ion Storms.

3. Reduce Stamina Enhancement bonus now only provides a 40% stamina regen bonus for Heavy armor, 30% bonus for Medium armor and 20% bonus for Light armor. Maximum stamina bonus of 22.5% for Heavy armor, 17.5% bonus for Medium armor, 12.5% bonus for Light armor.

4. Muscle Enhancement allows players to walk up steep hills without sliding down, on top of existing effects.

5. Flexible Reinforcement Budget cooldown reduction increased from 25% to 40%.

6. Localization Confusion reinforcement reprieve increased from 10% to 20%, also prevents another reinforcement call-in from activating so long as more than 25% of the enemies from a previous reinforcement wave are still alive (does not affect patrols).

7. Expert Extraction Pilot casts an automatic Eagle Strafing Run near extract every 30 seconds (similar to Eagle Storm) until the countdown ends, if no enemies are near extract it does nothing and waits for the next 30-second mark.

8. Motivational Shocks no longer affects enemies, and halves slowing effect while under the effect of an EMS field.

9. Dead Sprint always drains 1% health per second while sprinting, no need to pick Vitality Booster for the effect.

10. Sample Extricator allows for 5 Rare Samples and 1 Super Sample to be dropped by heavies, on top of the existing 10 Common Samples.

11. Sample Scanner doubling chance increased from 15% to 25%.

Honestly no idea what to do with Firebomb Hellpods and Stun Pods. The rest are mostly fine.

What's the point of liberating planets when you get less biomes or factions to fight on?
Like if we liberate veld we don't get to fight predator strain on the coolest planet for it. We might not even fight predator strain for another good month.

They do win planets, you're just selectively choosing to ignore the times that they do.
