>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.

>>531321571 (OP)

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

If my swede math is correct, doubling up with both firebomb and stunpods will let the pods destroy detector towers/gunship fabs/orbital cannons. We wouldn't even need to carefully aim EAT pods. Just shotgun a teammate in the face and toss them at the objective. Which makes me wonder if a helldiver respawning at the very edge of a stratagem jammer has enough time to guide the respawn pod into the jammer?

Maybe you shouldn't copy paste automaton facilities into your city maps.
But at least flamethrower turrets no longer commit suicide and the at rockets sights are fixed.
Good job 1.5 more seconds of stunning and brave.

non-shitbake bread pls

Nigger I'm at work.

How good are the blueberries against the bots?

>more free cars in urban areas
umm, kino much?

>>531322621
I saw one get cut down by 2 berserkers. They need liberator penetrators or something

Unironically pretty good. I feel bad for shooting them

>>531322621
a single heavy dev wipes out a platoon

>>531321663
that's a lot of words just to say you want suck that anon's cock

new bread pls what the fuck is wrong with you bake

>>531322479
link me the discord, I need sc and no one seems to be farming lately

Hey there fellow divers.
I have recently discovered 2 behaviors that give me the ick, massively.

1) Players who turn the music off in HD2
2) Players who mod everything to gooftown and back, forget all the mods they have installed and then insist on bullshit being a thing when it isn't part of the vanilla experience

Anyone else struggle with this? Cheers.

>>531322621
bots are the easiest faction by far so they rape them

>>531322960
Bravo, plebbit.

>>531322960
Using the word ick is a red flag.

My name is in the picture and I don't even use Discord

>>531322216
that's neat but i think there's a slight problem
>being able to steer or call onto these fucking things in the first place
i guess you might be able to smash a research station immediately assuming the demostrength actually stacks, but unless the AoE is good i don't see this being a gamechanger

>>531322779
Their guns use the basic Liberator model, but they fire Lib-AP rounds. It's why they chew through Overseers pretty well with their pinpoint accuracy.

There's a discord that automatically collects all lobby links posted ITT and reposts them in the discord.

You literally cannot see my mods so why do you care?

>>531323523
Are you gonna have another meltdown like last time?

seeing a horde of scavengers wakes me up more than a fucking bot patrol rework the fucking faction at this rate

>anons with this shit downloaded think their opinions on the game should matter

>>531322541
That's possible. I'm sure that AH's intent is that that hellpods shouldn't have enough demo force to destroy detector towers/jammers/orbital cannons/gunship fabs. But I also expect their code to be lazy and shit. So I wouldn't be surprised if the fire and stunpod boosters additive bonuses stack and allow the addition of an extra +40 demo force on top of the standard hellpod explosion.

>>531322621
Varies. They clear chaff and normal/rocket devs/Scout Striders well. Low-intensity berserkers too. Might even EAT a hulk. Too much going on and berserkers cut them down, and they eat total shit against Heavy Devs as they dont go for headshots so after Devs warning burst the second volley always kills them.

NTA, but what does it matter to you what mods people have installed if it doesn't effect your experience?

No functional anti-cheat = cheap and safe cheater services.
t. got enough SC to get every warbond for 5 bucks

>>531365230
>No functional anti-cheat
Weren't people screeching about this game's anti-cheat right before release because it was too intrusive or something?

>>531365775
It technically is but they do NOTHING with it. Like, it'll crash your game if it detects an intrusion but it has absolutely ZERO ability to hand out or even suggest bans, doesn't phone its finds anywhere, and it's trivial to bypass with paid cheats.

how are the new striders?
how's the APC? Surely it's in now, right?
