>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.

I'm a professional video game developer.
I have spent the last year building content in my spare time for Helldivers 2.
I am ready to offer my services to Arrowhead for free.
My only request is that they allow me to implement sex mechanics and animations into the game. This is non-negotiable.
I need your help, bros. How can I convince Shams?

this one is on you. if a mission is down a player after halfway through you should assume they've been getting obliterated and someone ragequit. otherwise it sounds like they were probably having fun and you're the one with a stick up your bughole.

Bring a support weapon that isn't a recoiless varient.
Kill voteless with your primary, grenades and strategems.

That's it. They're kinda mono build right now though. You need to bring 2 slots minimum of anti chaff. You can bring other shit though and pick up the machine gun in the map. But you need to use the machine gun all the time.

>>530463245

Not a halofag, qrd on this meme?

Easiest faction to fight with meta.
Easiest faction without meta?

I'd say squids right now are honestly the least threatening faction in the game if you bring meta. At least bots shoot you back, and bugs can pred swarm you instantly.
Easiest without meta would probably be bots. You can bring pretty much anything, but they are consistent and counterable if you go prone. Factory striders and hulks will wreck you though if you don't have their counter handy, but it's no where near as bad as other factions. I don't think it's possible to make a build that wouldn't work against bots.

>>530463245

Fucking ass cancer.

>>530465573
I agree. Predditor Strain is cancer and needs to be expunged.

>>530465639
The real cancer are bricks and erad missions, but they're going nowhere

>>530465702

Bricks is awful and boring but at least I'm not forced to play them.

Why do bugshitters struggle so much with the concept of some bugs having armor? No wonder pRedditor strain is so popular.

>>530465573
>MOs are getting so bad they're actually taking away content from the player base

Been teamreloading newbies. They are a fun bunch, mostly clueless but over the moon when someone watches their backs and helps them out.

>>530466413
I dont like how drastically it shifts the game for two (2) units. Goes from the vibe faction to kill some bugs to some "ultra, try-hard, min-max fuckface, build around the meta or perish" shit

>>530466413
>People struggle with it
>No wonder it's so popular

>>530465238
it's a strong counter when you're close enough to use it, but if you have a full fire build there's a good chance you'll end up in a situation where all strats are on cooldown and you have bots shooting you from outside the range of your torcher and you have no options but to advance and probably die, or hide and wait to come off cooldown.

Uhhhh anon? Youre not meant to help people in coop games. You play them to show how much better you are at video games and how you carried them.

>>530465702
Erad at least ends in 4 minutes and the spawns aren't as dogshit. Bricks takes 15 fucking minutes for no reason while you sit on your ass and throw sentries off cooldown.

>I dont like how drastically it shifts the game for two (2) units. Goes from the vibe faction to kill some bugs to some "ultra, try-hard, min-max fuckface, build around the meta or perish" shit

This might be a crazy concept anon, but some people like seeing positive reinforcement.

Do I steal have to steal their backpack to do a team reload or is having the same backpack as them enough now

>>530466640
What's that? A subfaction that isn't entirely a powertrip? Oh no! Maybe a walking simulator is more to your speed.

>>530466753
If you have AP3 and a stun you are basically set with any flame weapon. Granted yeah if you went full retard and tried to build a bad flame build you'd have a hard time prolly. But I'd have to see, because your strategems would help you a lot. And it's really hard not to pick a good loadout on bots even if you genuinely tried.

>>530467389
Predditors are still a power trip. The only gimmick you need to do is bring stagger. Thats it. What I dont like is their design forces you to build around the meta.
If you had reading comprehension I wouldnt have had to explain this.

hot we need brutes plapping leandivers NOW

They keep delaying cultist Illuminate to fuck with me specifically.

>completely ruins the illuminate faction
How did they fuck up the entire design of the squids so badly? The voteless represent everything wrong with the current illuminate design. Just bring back the smaller tripods holy fuck.

>>530469996
Voteless by themselves are okay thematically. Doubling down on them is the issue.

can someone elaborate more on the difficulty problems this game has? im making a half shitpost half serious critique video on the current state of the game and this is one of the few things i never really understood in relation to it. If i ask the redditards or discord losers they don't really bother explaining it

>>530469996
I would unironically prefer if they were removed and fleshmob spawns increased, even if fleshmobs are shit enemies.

>>530470443
>"What if we made the faction even worse?"

>>530469996
Voteless are completely fine

>>530467917
bots because taking out devastators at any range becomes an exercise in frustration because of the shitty damage, drag and the way devastators move on top of them being faux-staggered

>>530470586
>Melee slop
>No shields
>Regular swing damage instead of something unique like arc
I think the tripods from HD1 mog in every way. Nothing about the voteless mechanically feels like it should be on the Illuminate front.

>>530470742
you don't play the game

>>530463245
Bring an autocannon and a primary that mops up voteless. Use AC flak mode for overseers, flesh mobs, and stingrays. Swap to APHE mode for tesla towers, UFOs, and harvester joints.

Sprinkle MG sentries around the map at least 30m away from any teammate. Maybe gatling ones too.

>>530471023
Do a solo d10 stalwart only run if it hard counters the entire faction.

>>530471023
i've played enough to know that both the stalwart and MG are beyond terrible against the faction
there's quite literally not a single reason to not just bring the HMG and avoid all of these retarded annoyances

>>530470586
>generic zombie slop like its the late 2000's
Yes this will make a fine addition to my flying saucer space men faction.

>>530471278
forgot to add
i know the stalwart doesn't faux-stagger but the issue there is that you now have to coinslot them 3 times with a jumpy machine gun with a pathetic red dot

Do you think the reason the audio is so bad is due to some purple haired side shaven """"neurodivergent" freak developer or playtester screaming about how loud noises are triggering and over stimulating to them when they playtest the game at diff 4, so all sounds must be levelled down for them?

>>530471496
part of me thinks it's just because they sabotauge the game by fucking with people and making enemies silent

>>530470429
The playerbase is split between people who want to go on a powertrip by killing a massive army of fodder as some kind of almighty supersoldier, and people who want to get their balls stomped while fighting a massive army of genuine monsters like they're a regular guy in a milsim.
Both sides want to fight a massive army, but can't agree on how difficult fighting that army should be.
Additionally, lowering the difficulty doesn't work in a way that actually appeals to anyone because all it does is remove content and lower spawns, and the devs don't want to put in the work to make a difficulty slider that isn't just "More enemies on screen" or "Less enemies on screen"

>>530470940
they fit in perfectly well with the new squidder theme of everything being just a bit more tanky than it should be

>>530471752
>the devs don't want to put in the work to make a difficulty slider that isn't just "More enemies on screen" or "Less enemies on screen"
well they used to have a difficulty slider that was "more heavily armoured/harder to kill enemies" but people complained about that so much they completely abandoned it

>>530471752
>realism fags ruining another game

>>530471290
Flying saucer space men abducting people and animals and doing mind control and experiments is kind of a thing that exists

>>530471946
>they fit in perfectly well with the new squidder theme
>the new squidder theme
This is the problem. The new squid gameplay is just a worse, easier version of both bugs and bots. Shying away from the more unique mechanics of the illuminate like shields, invisibility, snipers, barriers, and mind control is fucking boring. This is why nobody wants to play against them.

Extraction is available.

>>530471496
>properly loud big-gun barrages that drowns out all other sounds as far as the other side of the map, stunning and shellshocking the delicate sensory organs/systems of bugs and bots alike, reminding all that artillery is the king of the battlefield
Too kino for swiggers.

>>530471752
>and people who want to get their balls stomped while fighting a massive army of genuine monsters like they're a regular guy in a milsim.
I fucking hate how Shitterhead wants their game to be a milisim while simultaniously keeping the cartoon physics that is ragdolling. Theyre trying to have their cake and eat it too.

But the bigger issue from this is how theyre limiting weapon creativity under "muh believability" Helldivers 1 had healing beams, holograms and just overall better looking tech yet somehow the sequel that takes place 100 years into the future lost all that.

>realism if it fucks over the player
>but realism doesn't matter for enemies
You know, shit like rocket devs that used to have unlimited ammo, chicken rockets despawning instead of exploding when you shoot, enemies clipping into terrain to become invincible while still shooting you just fine, heavy devs sticking their MG through their shield and so on
Meanwhile the Lib wasn't allowed to have more bullets because they wouldn't fit in the mag

>>530472447
and then you say shit like "nano-machines heal them" and they say "no I don't like that"
They just want this game to be arma and force everyone else to play space arma.

>>530472676
>chicken rockets despawning instead of exploding when you shoot
that's host desync not a ingrained mechanic
>enemies clipping into terrain to become invincible while still shooting you just fine, heavy devs sticking their MG through their shield
acknowledged as issues/bugs and all have had efforts made to prevent/fix them
the only one in your list that is "realism for thee but not for me" is the rocket devastators having infinite ammo... which they got rid of

>>530472372
>Shying away from the more unique mechanics of the illuminate like shields, invisibility, snipers, barriers, and mind control
There is nothing stopping them from having all this in addition to the biohorror route they're currently taking. In fact, there's nothing stopping them from having things like fleshmobs that are bioengineered to go invisible from fucked up glands, or voteless that do mind control shit by flashing colors like a cethelopod and fucking with whoever gets too close. Voteless aren't a problem thematically or gameplaywise, and the only real problem is with Arrowhead.

Whenever you get upset, consider. At least the developers didn't add something into the game to encourage players to spend money where it's basically mandatory to use it, robbing you of the freedom to use anything else that you'd rather be using because of personal preference.

>Heres you super big boots for liberating a mega city, saar
So, what? This is just liberating normally but with extra steps?

what's the point of the scythe dissipation heatsink? Overheats in 2 seconds, cools back down in 2 seconds. Why ever use this over the extended heatsink or even the standard one?

>>530473970

>>530461126
>dicking around when the shuttle has landed
As a level 148 player who has only ever played public matches, I can say with absolute authority and certainty that they never stop doing this.

>>530473970

Doesnt count. Twas merely a Town, my dude ;)))

>>530474064
>what's the point of the scythe dissipation heatsink?
That's the thing, there isn't one.

>>530474064
are you on the dessert planet, it should be 4.5
Theres not really much reason to use it unless you treat your scythe as a secondary.
Even then theres not much reason to use it over base because it really doesn't take that long to cool down that you'll be swapping every 4 seconds.

Genuinely feels like it should be 2 seconds to cool off with the 4.5 seconds of uptime.

>>530471752
>devs don't want to put in the work to make a difficulty slider that isn't just "More enemies on screen" or "Less enemies on screen"
Give us a mode with 30 divers, no respawns, and no reds.

>>530474064
They already had the idea for the short mags on the assault rifles, so they figured that would work for the laser rifle as well. More options looks better, like they put a lot of work in.

Meme food or super credits?

>>530473880
It's really hard to get a read on AH if they're incompetant or they don't want to make the warbonds p2w.

>>530475196
Short mags are actually good though.
Free ergo, quick reload, and good ammo management feels really nice.

i don't like the feel of machine gun + supply pack, it feels like i spend half my time just reloading
i'd rather bring gun dog and let him stay on anti-chaff duty

>>530472447
That's because cartoon ragdolling makes for great social media posts. Free marketing

>>530475447
I know, I always prefer them.
I'm just saying it feels like that's why they made the small heatsink.
I wonder if it would work better in the Sickle since I'm more likely to use it in short bursts than the Scythe, but for some reason the Sickle gets no customization.

>>530475457
I don't think I've ever brought machine gun to a mission since malevalon creek.
It's good, and it's cool to find one in the wild, but it's so fucking basic.
It also means I'm sacrificing AT options, which pigeon holes my build a bunch.

>>530475786
I'd kill for extended mags. Sickle feels good imo because you can hold the trigger down for a looooooong time.

>5 hours long thread
>ONE lobby posted
you disgust me

>>530475457
The guard dog is there to cover your ass in close combat. None of them have the dps or endurance to be a proper trash clearing solution. That said, I luv me gun dog for big cities, he does the work of ten pub shitters.

>>530475447
Yeah, and in some cases they're a much better choice over the other two (actually giving extra total ammo). Though, I generally prefer having quick reloads over the possibility of being caught mid-reload with drums.

>>530475447
My man.

>>530475714
I dont think anyone ever once bought the game because "le funny xd!" ragdolls. People bought it for the psuedo starship troopers vibe.

>>530474064
Ergo + if you shoot for weakspots on bots it's extremely efficient. Higher capacity heatsink is more for bugs and ayys instead, where you're relying more on the burn application than shooting a weakspot.

>>530475786
The issue with the short mag on scythe is because unlike a normal gun you don't need to worry about ammo efficiency and it auto reloads. It's better to lay down fire into the crowd or focus on a single big target, and then just swap to your support while you wait for it to cooldown in the background.

Powertrips only work when youre killing a ton of shit you disingenuous faggot

>>530484149
because they're unsatisfying to kill, the bullet sponges are designed to waste your time mechanically and tactically, and they're just generally unfinished.

I think a big part of it is the numbers are balanced, but the game doesn't feel satisfying with balanced numbers that encourage unique niche weapons. People just wanna shoot stuff with any gun mindlessly and do well. Like people just hate DPS checks.

>mfw squid divers are currently the most intelligent group because of there Afoyay gambit

No. Powertrips also work when I can turn the game into a walking simulator so I can AFK while saying/soigasming that I'm playing the videogame.

>>530484939
I know they're one of the "small map" missions for a reason but I really do think they'd benefit from upping the play area and actually being able to spawn enemies outside of the immediate zone, have them actually advance through the field, rather than just popping up/dropping in the middle of an active death zone. Give more biomes parts of the map they actually get to spawn behind so they can at least get a wave's worth of enemies coming at you instead of trickling in piece by undemocratic piece.

Hell if we wanna get spicy have them actually spawn behind the base, assuming the enemy's pathing doesn't just have them climb the outer wall and straight onto the generators they could work nicely as a delayed addition to the current wave.

>>530486471

>>530488301
Because pure DPS checks aren't fun. They make sense in raids, not in open world content. If you want actual DPS checks then limit them to the squid equivalent fortresses
fleshmobs are just terribly designed and there's no reasonable defense for them not having weakspots.

>>530484939
bugdiver anon.....

>>530488443
See DPS checks.
I can use a support weapon to kill things, but sometimes I just wanna kill chaff with a primary. I personally don't think the whole "Swiss army knife" shit is all that appealing.That and the disparity between support weapons on the squid front is kinda insane.

Like god tier
Wasp

Great Tier
AC

Good Tier
Machine gun
Flamethrower
Grenade Launcher

Okay Tier
AMR
HMG
Railgun
Airburst

The power of your gameplay is pretty much decided by which support weapon you choose, and the disparity between them is much larger than any other front. It's also not a very satisfying or interesting interraction with these support weapons. Most of them involve me aiming center mass.

The gap too is very noticible, and it really has nothing to do with how you're playing but simply what you brought.

>>530488767
This won't help bugs on bricks because in general bugs are fucking HORRIBLE at actually pushing into an entrenched defense. Especially if it's on highground. You can see this happening even on eradication missions, where you just set up sentries on a corner of the map where sentries cover the highground and the bugs cannot do shit about it. The bugs need something akin to L4D2 spitters that counter camping, either that or bile artillery needs to do its job better of flushing out campers.

lmao

>>530484927
I haven't kicked someone since the release of the game where two people were just blowing eachother up with grenades on respawn for no reason.

>>530489261
>you need to tailor your loadout to the enemy in order to not have a bad time
where's the problem, exactly? not every weapon should be equally viable against every faction

>>530485195
okay gucci slippers, can you explain why brown people like you are so obsessed with consooming sneakers of all brands?

>>530484939
I would like to see an alternate brick mission where your objective is just to survive for an amount of time, and the difficulty actually ramps up. Then if you survive for long enough you can evac, but the longer you fight the more you get.

It'd be pretty easy to cheese, but it'd be fun to just play seriously-ish and have the game try and fuck us over with some really gay spawns and enemy counts. It'd be cool too if its not just killing stuff, but positioning, moving, and having to keep stuff off your teammates.

>>530489451
>The bugs need something akin to L4D2 spitters that counter camping, either that or bile artillery needs to do its job better of flushing out campers.
no, bugs just need a higher spawn rate. difficulty fucking 10 and what comes out of one of the bug holes? 5 scavengers, that's literally it. I'm not exaggerating, the spawn rate/amount on bug defence missions is absolutely fucking pathetic

Fleshmobs are not chaff. Everything else dies to primaries easily.
>That entire list
Holy skill issue. Here's how the actual list goes:
Wasp/AC/ABRL>Stalwart/MMG/HMG>Flamethrower/GL>AMR/Rail
>The power of your gameplay is pretty much decided by which support weapon you choose
Nothing wrong with this. See pic related.

>>530490535
>Nothing wrong with this. See pic related.
see >>530489871

In any other game I'd be able to shoot chaff, shoot their weak points do more damage. In this overseers you just aim center mass. Voteless you can pop heads but that doesn't give you much, fleshmobs have no weak point, harvesters kinda have weak points and I think they're interesting.

It's just very dull and everything boils down to "which deals more damage than x when aimed center mass"

ok I give up what game are you talking about

>>530490732
>In this overseers you just aim center mass.
only if you have a light pen weapon. if you have a high DPS support weapon taking something like the deadeye or dominator means being able to one-shot overseer heads.
>Voteless you can pop heads but that doesn't give you much,
it's an instant death with any weapon. Your other options are taking off a leg which comes with a very slow bleedout, or center-massing the chest which is either a very slow bleedout or a fast kill but 2 to 4 times the ammo expended than what the head needs

Any reason to use this now?
It's basically the exact same stats as the liberator with a few less rounds, and a longer reload.

Where lobby I don't feel like making one this time

>>530490732
>overseers you just aim center mass
Senator, Dominator, Deadeye one shot them with headshots and every medium pen benefits from aiming for the head
>Voteless you can pop heads but that doesn't give you much
Huh? You waste significantly less ammo by aiming for heads instead of center mass.
>fleshmobs have no weak point
Fleshmobs having no obvious weakpoint but being susceptible to explosives and fire is an interesting spin on a heavy unit in this game instead of being the typical "aim for head with AT" like every other heavy in the game.

You can seethe about getting slightly pigeon holed into using certain equipment but the truth is that every faction does this to a certain extent. There's no reason to bring DMRs to bugs. There's no reason to bring shotguns to bots.

>>530493073
>Any reason to use this now?
buyers remorse

>>530493073

>>530493248
>buyers remorse
Do you mean sunk-cost fallacy?

>>530466840

>>530493050
Yeah voteless feel good, I think it's just the rest like overseer.
Shooting the jetpacks seems pretty cool, but it's a lot easier to aim center mass again.

>>530493223
>>530493050
But again yeah you aim center mass with ap2, you aim head if you can do it efficiently in one shot with ap3. It's pretty black and white.

Like with bugs, you've got weak points, youve got limbs to blow up.
Staggering them, meleeing them. Even bots theres like a dozen of different weak points that you can abuse from any angle.

overseers and flesh mobs it's just aim center mass.
That's just kinda gay.

>>530493073
fomo

>>530493073
There was no real reason to use it before, since it was just a stats swap of the stock Liberator. Now that weapon customization is in the game, there's even less reason since the Killzone stuff never got customization options.

Maybe in a few months or however long it takes for them to add customization options, I'm guessing they still need to model the attachments for the Killzone stuff and maybe do some consulting with Guerilla to make sure it's all lore-accurate.

NTA but are you guys seriously suggesting taking the time to aim at individual voteless heads when an average patrol looks like this?
Not to mention their heads are like ~10% of the size of their body so it's not as easy to hit as bugs. you're much better off using explosives, shotguns or just dumping tons of machinegun bullets center mass on a horizontal line

AH goes fully wacky and drops a Magicka collab, what do you want? Robe armor set?

>>530493763
>center mass
i feel like you're better off sawing their legs off with most guns, especially stalwart/mmg and just letting your follow up sweeping shots finish them

>Veld will finally be captured in the next few days
Rip predobugs....

>>530493763
>are you guys seriously suggesting taking the time to aim at individual voteless heads
no, instead of aiming into that crowd at chest height you aim into that crowd at head height and you'll take off a lot of heads without needing to specifically aim at any one voteless's head. the scythe is especially good at just.. scything off heads by sweeping the beam back and forth at head height

>>530493073
it'd be cool if they kept the reload speed, but just made it better handling with a big mag. Like just drop the recoil to something stupid low so it's just a laser pointer. I'd need to see what the horizontal recoil looks like.

>>530493763
yes, with the flat ground on urban maps all you do is aim the gun at head level and move it horizontally.

>>530494082

Elite. Devs are raising the prices on early access purchases of ships, and colonization turned into a rush to take over every notable landmark in the galaxy. So eventually you'll venture 10,000LY out and find 's Sneed's Seed & Feed on the opposite side of the galaxy. The first thing they did was to rush the Thargoid-controlled nebulae, and unfortunately FDev didn't really add in any complexity or any counter-action to the mechanic. So it's basically Fleet Carriers 2.0, except messier and permanent.

>>530501190
Good. The Blob has a really bad habit of only ever focusing on planets close to Super Earth, to the detriment of easy liberation of other planets. Remove the Celeste and Orion Sectors from the equation, and we'll get less stupid Blob movements.

It's probably getting cut by 25% minimum with it coming to shitbox S

>>530511715
Enemies I think would be interesting:

Jet Brigade variants of Scout Striders, Gunships and Annihilator/Shredder Tanks. The Scout Striders have jets mounted on their sides instead of rockets, and can chase you down even more efficiently. The Tanks have hover jets instead of treads that give them significantly faster speed and rotation, allowing them to chase down players more easily and turn to face players to keep their engine compartments out of line of fire. The Gunships have even more speed and agility, will actively attempt to dodge incoming fire, and Gunship Patrols will immediately aggro on and chase players down upon spawning like Stingrays.

Incineration Corps variants of Gunships, Shredder Tanks and Berserkers. Gunships just fire incendiary rockets like the Rocket Devastator variant, Shredder Tanks just have a huge flamethrower mounted as a turret instead of Shilka-type flak guns and Berserkers just run at you with flaming swords instead of chainsaws.

Predator Strain variants of Chargers and Hive Guards. Predator Chargers are much more agile while not charging (can turn around faster to keep their butt protected, can sidestep to avoid incoming AT warheads, just moves around faster in general, etc.) and their charge is even faster. Predator Hive Guards will actually rush at you instead of hunkering down whenever you shoot at them.

Gloom variants of, well, everything. Right now there's only gloom chaff enemies, and the Spore Charger which functions similarly.

I'm not really sure what kind of sub-factions Illuminate should have. Maybe bubble shield variants of non-Harvester enemies, would make Fleshmobs and Stingrays a lot harder to bring down.

I think cutting spawns (or dumbing the AI down even more) would be the final nail in this game's coffin for me desu. I can put up with the glacial pace of content releases but if they're going to actively degrade the experience like that then I'm done.

Youre going to contribute to the Galactic War whether you like it or not.

I'd rather play something else

>>530484210

>>530514809
Bugs and bots are easy.

Squids is the only faction that has some scrap of difficulty.

>botniggers

>>530514916
80% of /hdg/ are botniggers who thinks leaning out from a rock once in a while to shoot a slow moving bot in the head to be "le hecking hardest faction", so yeah, I'd say we're surrounded by them

>>530515304
As opposed to a faction so slow you can casually walk away from? Bugs are unironically the easiest faction and your insecurity is showing.

>you don't play the game
Yeah, I do. Thats how I know only 2 enemies (titans and chargers) are the only acual threat. The rest of the bugs are a joke except when shriekers want to go full morrowind and swoop you in a blob

Settle down, Ramesh, your ESL is showing. You can cope all you want but 99% of my deaths in the bug front is from friendly fire because bugniggers dont look before they set off an explosive. Once you realize only 2 enemies are actually threatening in the bug roster is when you realize how much of a joke the faction is.

I wish they just gave us grenades that just hit really hard and don't bother with the stun, the reload speed would more than make up for it. 1-2 second stuns are just so underwhelming and impossible to work with.

>>530520359
Overseer are squidders retard, and I doubt there's a voteless flying the interloper

>>530520359
I for one enjoy the idea of an alien race having its entire species driven so close to extinction that they fight exclusively via proxies, as well as no longer caring about any sort of war crimes against the ones that drove them so low.
However, Overseers are straight up stated to be Squ'ith.
>>530520615
The interloper could honestly be automated in a similar way to the watchers or harvesters.

>>530520359
By that merit, when you battle Illithids you're just fighting modifier humans, not eldritch ayy lmaos.

>>530520359
>it's all modified humans
>Including the watchers, the overseers, and the harvesters

that's fucking awful. I love it.

>>530520945
Nta, but that's kind of disingenuous.

>>530521007
Arrowhead literally stole the concept of how Illuminates are creating more Illuminates from how Illithids do it.

>>530521119
That is not the proper use of the word "literally"

>>530521119
they're parasites that do it as part of their natural reproduction cycle
illuminates dreamed this shit up after 100 years of seething and the only successes they're getting are from combining 10 or so humans into one body

>Bug eradicate mission.
>Run to the nearest corner of the map and plop down your sentry nest (gatling, MG, tesla to cover a weaker side/choke point).
>You are now impossible for the bugs to get to, outside of BTs, which you bring RR for to instantly kill when they spawn.
At least this mission respects my time and ends in 4 to 6 minutes compared to bricks. That much I can appreciate.

>>530484210
How tough am I? HOW TOUGH AM I? I coomed to Coretta Kelly porn this morning.

>>530520997
They all bleed and let out death knells whenever they're killed, so they definitely appear to be biobots of some sort, rather than directly humans like the voteless and fleshmobs.
Their more robotic creatures are likely grown in vats or something similar, although I wouldn't doubt that they'd reuse harvested proteins from humans and other animals to serve as the building blocks.

>>530521278
>He seriously thinks that what the ayys are doing is going to just stop at fleshbobs, when it's obvious as hell that Arrowhead is trying to play a "plot" where the voteless are transforming over time into full ayy lmaos.

>>530521505
I was thinking more all tomorrows shit

>>530484210
I brought flamethrower on bots, when my team was running airburst rocket launchers.

>>530521549
that's exactly what I'm saying, little negro
voteless have 2 arms, fleshmobs have 4 arms, datamined ayys have 4 arms
there's no reason a perfected version of this treatment would still cause the 4 arms shit unless the cult ayys are ALSO combinations of multiple human beings

>>530521549
Not only is this just headcanon(Albeit interesting headcanon) that you're treating as gospel, but the Illithid don't use biological tampering and superscience to turn people into Illithid, that's just how their biology works.
They are literally different.

>>530517914
You got the "this is likely how they intended it" right. If you've seen Arrowhead devs play, you'd know they can barely finish D3 bug missions. A gun that stuns the one Charger that may or may not spawn during the mission AND hurt the chaff around it is hecking OP.

>>530521581
That is a cool as hell idea, but I don't think it goes that far.

But we're also aliens to the Illuminates

>>530522187
yeah but we're the rightful owners of the galaxy and therefore deserve native status as well as the full say in which species get to live + how

>>530522327
Aren't the squids way older than humanity? Sounds like they're the natives.

>>530484210
>>530522497
fair point but also no, fuck them

>>530522497
they left the galaxy for 100 years, they lost their citizenship

>>530522079
It's hard to say, because I imagine they tested this gun in a full lobby. It just doesn't feel like anything else in power, even the arc thrower grossly out performs it.

It's very strange honestly, I feel like backpack support weapons are in a completely different tier from the backpackless ones. And this one feels like it's in an even lower tier because of all the stuff it "does" extra.

>>530522630
Because we genocided them

>>530522187
I thought we were cumdumps?

>>530522497
>Aren't the squids way older than humanity?
Records from that era are spotty, at best.
>Sounds like they're the natives.
Sounds like treason coming out your fucking mouth.

Another thing is that the Illuminate likely think so lowly of humanity at this point that they probably don't want to taint their actual species with ours in any way, shape, or form out of pride and disgust. It would make the most sense that they exclusively use humans as fodder to pad their war effort, and the only reason fleshmobs are listed as failed experiments is because they just happened to be less lethal than they intended them to be.

people left the DSS MO on a slow burn of 15% till it was done, at which point there was only one city left to dive on, super china, while prosperity stayed locked

that's not "china defying joel," that's divers lazily strolling across the finish line while failing multiple times

>>530523585
What class humans are in those shitty pre-fab colonies with little gardens you sometimes see on planets towards the edge of the universe?
I like to imagine they're all basically dirt poor farmers out there, with lean and muscular farm boys that have nothing in their lives being the ones that shamefully watch Coretta's inappropriate broadcasts after she became a Squid cockslut. Saving them and sharing them with their friends like a futuristic version of gathering around a pornmag stump.

>swore I picked up the medium armor
>go to try it on, have a build in mind that might actually benefit from it
>did not in fact pick it up

well fuck

I bought this game on the Sumner sale. It's awesome I really like it and already dumped 12 hours in like 2 days. But I'm completely lost. Every mission I just follow other higher level people and shoot at enemies but I really don't know what's going on at all for the most part. What I'm most confused about is the MO thing and all the different planets. I don't know what any of it means or what I'm contributing to. It seems different planets actually have different enemies or something? Also so far I find the squids to be the most difficult. I did a lot of bug and bot missions the first day and never felt like I had too much challenge. But the squids are kicking my ass. And not just me but the other people on my team. Surprisingly I end up with the most kills every time but I've yet to even finish a full operation with squids. Every time we get completely swarmed everyone starts rage quitting or we end up failing on the generator defense missions.

I also notice the illuminate have the least people at all times, even when the main objective says to go there there's significantly more people fighting bugs. People in game all say they hate squids.

Online people say they hate them too but not due to difficulty but rather boredom/too easy. I find them really challenging though.

Things I also don't understand:
>the storyline etc
>penetration and how to select weapons
>personal objectives

I'm having fun but I also feel lost asf the entire time like a rookie expendable just being told to shoot and don't die and leave the thinking to someone else. Which is cool but I wanna understand more. How do I get smart?

>>530525001
>>penetration and how to select weapons
red ex means over pen, that means you have pen higher than the body part and are doing full damage.

white x means same pen and you're doing 65% damage.

shield ricochet icon means, you guessed it, under pen.

>>530524072
It does, but that's not important. What's important is completing as many operations as possible, as quickly as possible.

>>530524978

>the storyline
Super Earth government is basically Super China in the way they view the galactic environment as well as their own citizens, and readily sacrifices and psyops their own people for "the greater good", resulting in every single one of the three enemies of Super Earth to have been directly caused by the actions Super Earth themselves.
The bugs were originally aliens turned into GMO space cattle that went out of control, the bots were overworked second class citizens that unionized, and the Illuminate were just minding their own business until Super Earth decided they wanted to genocide them and steal their technology.
Super Earth lied about the bugs, bots, and squids being cut and dry monsters in order to convince their citizens to hate them, and in doing so managed to mold all three of them into the exact kind of extremists they pretended they were. Super Earth dug their own grave, and their citizens are kept in the dark so well that they don't even know how bad things really are.

>penetration and how to select weapons
This >>530525120
Just keep in mind that every enemy has differently armored parts that require different levels of penetration, and it's a bit of trial and error unless you want to use a wiki.

>personal objectives
Just do whatever it says and you get medals to spend on your warbonds. Easy as that.

Is the heavy machine gun good against Bile Titans? Sometimes it feels like I can solo them easily other times it feels like they swallow every clip and ask for more

So i read the warbond token announcement and one part stuck out to me
>If you own a HELLDIVERS 2 Standard Edition and have bought ‘Steeled Veterans Warbond’ already then we recommend waiting until August to purchase the Super Citizen Edition Upgrade. You will then be able to unlock a different Warbond
Does this mean the new warbond will only come in August?

HOLY SHIT ANON QUICK
WE HAVE TO DEFEND NEW STOCKHOLM FROM SQUIDS

>>530528340
they're just saying the new system goes into effect then, coincidentally exactly when the xbox port goes live I think
we could get a warbond before then, but there's no reason arrowhead couldn't or wouldn't do absolutely fucking nothing until then

>>530528340
well AH usually release a warbond a month it's possible they will make two a july warbond and a august one

>>530528340
No. The whole thing with the Super Citizen Edition is that if you already unlocked the Steeled Veterans warbond and then upgraded, you'd have effectively wasted your money on buying the same thing twice.
All that means is that they're going to be making the change to the warbond token some time in August.

>>530528209
Alright I just fought off 3 of them at extraction and I can't tell if it was more effective to shoot their heads or their stomachs since my teammates were also shooting them

>>530528209
i don't think so, it feels like you waste an entire mag on them and it barely tickles them

>>530528209
>>530528863
58 rounds to the head at point blank range, so maybe about 3/4ths to 1 full belt to the head accounting for range and misses. the belly is a trap, don't shoot that with AP4 support weapons

>>530528209
soften them with rocketpods or strafing run.
Their weak points are their claws for hmg. If you see their head, side or legs get cracked shoot at them first.

>>530525001
Welcome, newfren
>I really don't know what's going on at all for the most part.
You do main and side objectives, destroy bases and extract with all of you still alive.
>MOs, planets and personal objs
MOs are objectives for the playerbase to achieve in the galactic war, every mission you do on an MO planet or objective counts towards it. They're supposed to be the storyline but the devs started stretching them out lately because they're lazy, incompetent or both. Right now, nothing ever happens. Personal objectives are the same but only for you to get medals from.
Planets are just different biomes you can play on, and enemy composition varies per mission on bots and bugs. They also get subfactions like the predator strain on Veld, they're supposed to be more difficult than the normal faction roster.
>squids are hard but people never play them
Squids are even more of a DPS check than bugs are so if you don't kill them fast enough, they will swarm you and pubs like to run away instead of shooting. They're boring because of no variety in mission or enemy types and they've been the focus for several MOs in the past months despite being an unfinished faction so no one really plays them anymore.
>the storyline etc
We have bugs that generate FTL fuel, cyborg separatists that built their own army of bots and squids that tried to nuke us multiple times after we genocided them 100 years ago because we thought they will nuke us multiple times. The most important stuff that happened over the course of the game was us turning a planet into a black hole, losing multiple planets due to squids throwing said black hole at them and making the devs donate to charity.
tl;dr we're based because we're humans, the aliens aren't therefore they deserve to die or be kept in cages.

>>530525001
cont. >>530531746
>penetration and how to select weapons
The higher you go in difficulty, the more armored enemies you see on bots and bugs and the more you'll need heavy pen or AT stratagems and support weapons. Just keep trying out stuff and see what works the best for you.
>How do I get smart?
Play the game, ignore sloptubers and most online discussion because they're both full of misinformation and are in bad faith ever since the game came out. Once you feel comfortable on high difficulties, join our lobbies.

>>530525001
Don't worry anon, you're doing fine!
Just keep trying new weapons and armors and find your playstyle.

Why are bugdivers such retarded niggers? Everyone runs off to do their own shit and die repeatedly, everyone napalm barrages hold/fortify objectives like flags and civvie extracts and no one reinforces unless it's into a napalm barrage or bug hive. People talk about how botniggers talk their faction up like it's hard but actually it's easy, but in reality it's because they have a fucking brain and understand how to play the game instead of running around like lobotomised SEA monkeys seeing their first shred of pussy.

it's still pretty silly that you can shoot an EAT/Recoilless into an Overseer and they can take it just fine because damage to their armor doesn't transfer to their main.

>>530528209
Bile Titans effectively have 100% durability (or close to it) on all body parts, and at AP4 the HMG matches armor penetration with its armor plates, meaning that it does 35% less damage.

So, no, HMG is not good against Bile Titans. Even if you somehow manage to crack its armor, it still takes a lot of firepower to the inner flesh to bring it down.

>>530536436
>Fuckers are like gun ship health for ap2.
It's because their head needs medium pen, the rest of their body is durable, they have around the same health as a Devastator, and that ablative armour shit. So they end up being tanky as fuck if you're not bringing medium pen.

>>530537872
Don't forget the missions being broken and only spawning 3 side objectives, with them being the exact same in every single mission

And even if you bring it you still gotta hit the head with some of the worst ergo weapons in the game.
It's fucking rough, satisfying to do, but man those guys are way too tanky, mobile, and deadly.

>>530528209

>>530541843
Someone once suggested having the flag be one handed so you can shoot sidearms with it. The one handed mechanic from the tutorial is barely used:

>>530536436
There's tons
>Deadeye (One headshot)
>Senator (One headshot)
>Dominator (One Headshot)
>Railgun (One headshot and decent for stingrays and harvesters)
>AMR (One headshot and decent for stingrays and harvesters)

Just make sure to adjust the rest of your kit to handle voteless and fleshmobs.

>>530543153
Cutting Edge, Force of Law, Masters of Ceremony (though frankly you're better off buying Superstore armors than this shitty warbond).

>>530541453
I fucking hate durable. In game design terms, it's extra health if you are using "the wrong weapon", but armor is supposed to be that already.

>>530543650
Is Sickle, Blitzer and Plasma Punisher better than Amendment and fireworks nade?

I use heavy armor so I dont really care about the armors

>>530536436
Scorcher, Purifier, Xbow and Eruptor all rape them without any need of accuracy

>>530536436
Outside of repel mission, gun dog is your friend. I don't want to adjust my primary or support just for these flying fucks.

>>530543970
The pyrotech grenade is very good but a bit wonky.
As for the weapons the Amendment and the cutting edge weapons aren't really comparable. They're all fine weapons though.

>>530543153
At that point, you might buy for the drip or anything you like. Personally, I'd rather buy Ceremony for cool drip and one of the best armor passives in the market.

>>530543970
Amendment isn't a very good weapon. Pyrotech releases AP5 sparks and you can carry extra, so really it's up to you but I personally wouldn't take it over Thermite.

Sickle is a pretty fun weapon, it's basically a miniature Stalwart since you can fire up to 87 "rounds" before it overheats, it's very good at spitting out damage even if it's only AP2. Blitzer is okay-ish but short-ranged, I don't think it's very useful outside of bugs and squids. Punisher Plasma used to be super strong but the Purifier completely outclasses it nowadays.

i need better irons on the Constitution, they're fucking dogshit even on perfect conditions but on any bit of darkness they might as well be invisible

>>530543970
I will never stop using the plasma punisher.
There is nothing anyone can do to defer my love for it.
Even if I directly hit an ally, they won't die from it. Can YOUR gun say the same?
Plus, it flips my car back over.

i want an exosuit with a large cannon + high capacity buckshot shotgun

>>530544939
>Plus, it flips my car back over.
and just like that you have sold me on the plasma punisher

>>530544939
Honestly, I like it because it fucks up Overseers.

How do i play on missions that are 7+ difficulty it actually seems impossible there is too much shit happening and enemy spawns are insane

>>530546229
the amount of times i've saved my car or someone elses or one off the map from just shooting the ground to flip it is insane
doubly so for just shooting the ground near people to unstick them under bodies or from map geometry
you DON'T have to worry about dealing too much damage. once you get the actual AoE down you can just knock people over with 5 damage and save them

>>530546990
Can you use it for the opposite? To trap leandivers in geometry or inaccessible places so you can forcibly ERP with them?

I'm still only 2 days in but I see how it might get repetitive once you've done every mission type enough times and have all the weapons and stuff unlocked.

>>530556010

Yes, and it feels great too, but the more prudent and pretty much as effective method is to split the squad into duos. So next time you wanna split off from the main group you could decide to support someone else doing things at the ass end of the map.

>>530533275
Hard agree. I'm a brain damaged retard who only plays bots for the most part. Now I've decided to give bugs a go due to MO and I'm on the verge of aneurysm. How can half the players at d10 be so fucking clueless, unable to stick together and kill enemies in general. Each time there's a Stalker nest thats automatic 2 reinforcements AT LEAST. A Bile Titan is an actual threat since if the 500kg thrown at the breach it crawled from doesnt kill it, the players brains shut downs and it runs around a minute at least, often killing multiple players because diving sideways is haaaaard. It doesnt matter which faction is more difficult, it matters which faction has more functional teammates. Bugs are by far more difficult simply because half of the time you're forced to play with people who struggle to put their shirt on the right way in the morning.

>>530564257
only one shall be permitted

>>530533275
>but in reality it's because they have a fucking brain
No, the same braindead reaction of throwing 6 barrages happens in bots too but is not as detrimental since bots are slow and fight at a distance.

>>530546692
Once you start regularly playing d7+, you'll be used to the amount of enemies that appear and really you'll need to start taking stratagems that can control a breach/drop. it'd be anything that can be dispersed over a wide area, usually napalm/orbitals. Sentries can also be used but placement can be iffy depending on where it happens, just notify your team beforehand and it'll probs be fine.

>>530565403
You play below D10 at all? What are you, a shitter?

>>530546692

Admittedly I haven't played below d10 in a while, however, I'm assuming he doesn't specialize in any one area(AT, greens, blues, reds) in particular. So my suggestion was based on a balanced loadout of 2 reds, green, and a blue. If it was a loadout of a separate backpack and a support weapon, then 1 red, green, and 2 blues. Of course these are only my suggestions, so any more would be appreciated.

Sentry placement is easy. If you imagine a clock face and the enemies are at 12 and the team is at 6, then toss the sentries towards 3 or 9. That's the easy way to fulfill the important points of keeping people safe. Basically you want the sentries forward, to the sides, and at least 30-40m away from anyone to minimize the risk that it will ever flag anyone. This is not team fortress 2. The sentries should NEVER be perched in the same position as your team. Sometimes there are niche situations where you can put them elsewhere, but for the most part just chucking them forward and to the sides works out just fine.

Also never bring a mortar sentry to bugs or squids. There are better options to bring for bots, so just ignore the mortar sentry period.

Yes and then the Swede nerfed it by swapping the extendo mag model to the shortened and everyone on reddit was sucking Swede cock saying "Look how they care! They adjusted the magazine model to fit the new capacity!"
Meaning the filthy fucking swigger was more than happy to accept praise for a basic model swap from weapon customization they probably had working at 95% already while nerfing one of the only useful primaries at the time.

I can imagine a tec 9 secondary, but as a primary? Idk if it would offer many advantages compared to other submachine guns besides a high fire rate on par with the knight, but not relegated to super goy edition.

>>530576335
we already have it as a secondary

What else would they have used?

>New Stockholm doesn't even have any megacities on it. It's just a barren, snow covered rock.
The swedes couldn't even care about their own representation enough, could they.

>>530579885
all my niggas hate megacities and to be fair I don't really like the urban tileset either since every fucking map I play has it

>>530580265
Urban maps are perfect for the FRV, though.

>>530579885
None of the bug planets we've fought over outside of the Korpus Sector had cities before the MO that introduced bug megacities. There's nothing stopping AH from just arbitrarily changing a planet to have cities if they want.

I just used the Punisher 24/7
it could stagger devastators, up to two or even three if you were distant
you just keep shooting until the heads pop from a distance, or just settled aim on the head and popped it
it was pretty fun

>>530579885
>their own representation
Nothing in Sweden could be considered a megacity thoughbeit. A snowy backwater is perfectly relatable.

Ill defend New Stockholm when they release the fomo items.

All niggerbots should hang.

>>530581946
I can't believe AH is so brazenly cucking pre order players like that lmao

This game can be really stunning when it wants to be

Maybie they'll release the FOMO when the planet is successfully liberated

>>530582408
They should give xbox players the creek cape etc since that's fomo too

>>530582658
Agreed. Fomo is cringe.
