>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.

from my heart and from my hand
why don't people understand my intentions
ooooo weird science

if you use the new emote while in the new armor passive death you spurt out blood from your helldivers mouth

As usual the new weapons are fucking WEAK AS FUCK.

I hate AH so damn much! Fire that fucking spreadsheet pussy ass engineer. He's ass!

>>531570407
Do you want powercreep instead?

>>531570446
>THERE IS ONLY TWO OPTIONS: WEAK OR OVER POWERED
You're as dumb as the stupid ass spreadsheet engineer.

wow, surprising no one, the armor perk fucking blows
it makes your screen black and white AND your speed slows to a crawl
gun is also heavy as fuck and only has scopes
uncharged plasma cannon in a illuminate ship door didn't blow it up, was trying to test charged but some jackass blew me up with a 500kg so I just gave up and left

Not once has this armor kept me alive after dying

>>531570514
When it's not weak nor overpowered you'd be calling it boring. There's no satisfying people like you.

>>531570446
Unironically yes
Autistically spreadsheeting guns so everything is perfectly middling and not outstanding at all is retarded

BuffCHADS won.

Where content? shitty weapons doesn't count

new missions, planets?

The teleport pack is 1000% getting nerfed

>>531570516
>it makes your screen black and white AND your speed slows to a crawl
Devs said its intention is to get back up and quickly drop a 500kg at your feet so I don't know what you were expecting

>>531570606
Oh yes there is bitch. Its called FUN. Other weapons are already fun, this new batches lately have been fucking a GRIND to kill. Try the new laser turret. Fucking thing burns out after like 3 bot kills. The damn rocket turret does way more, same with pretty much all of the most used turrets (that are most used because they aren't ass).

But nice fucking strawman you low iq AH white knight chud.

>>531570816
They won't be nerfing premium content right after they're avaiable.

>using [TOTAL] knocks you over and damages you
>does nothing else

The death effect for the armour is cool. I feel the cannon needs to be stronger and bigger aoe.

>New warbond drops
>Shitters immediately come to thread to complain everything sucks
>Its them that sucks
Every time lmao

>>531570864
something that isnt just democracy protects but worse in every way preferably

Okay its been like twenty minutes so whats the verdict? Should I buy the warbond or the piss skin for my FRV?

>>531570934
80% of missions at D10 succeed, the game is piss easy, you can view these stats on the live map

Full auto is nice but the RPM is kind of slow
Volley mode one shots berserkers
Total mode damages you and can break your arm with a full dump
The rifle has bad ergo but its whatever
>>531571060
Yes.

>>531571060
dont fucking know bro I don't have half the shit unlocked
gun is fun but kinda of a meme
plasma launcher seems like ass but I haven't gotten to use it much because it blows you up like a second after it's fully charged and the regular charge sucks dick
armor looks sick as fuck but the perk is dogwater

>>531570934
>Another fucking logically flawed strawman and ad hominenm by other wise bitches who have Arrowhead posters hanging over their bed.
I don't suck, the weapons suck. Guess what I end up doing? Going back to the SAME FUCKING loadouts because the new shit sucks and everything is honkey dory. Nice of you to assume people who can think critically and see the flaw of spreadsheet balancing are bad at the game. You probably drop D10 and skip secondary objectives cause they are too hard and bail but pretend you're badass. See, I can pull shit out my ass to you fucking idiot.

>>531571197
the Epoch needs at least double the magazine capacity and the ability to reload while moving. Alternatively a complete rework where it runs on a heat based battery where redlining it explodes you, as it stands the AMR is basically just a better version of it because that splash has such minimal damage and radius it might as well not exist.

>>531572130
don't care what you think, you give AH workers blowjobs for free.

How is the Halt stun after hidden stun nerf from new patch?

might just be that I'm not used to it yet but man the epoch has a really fucking awkward. you have such a tiny window to get an actual decent damaging shot off before you explode yourself, and if you fire before then your shot is really, really inaccurate

>>531570928
Love you robuttposter

>>531570301 (OP)
That's the wrong warbond you big retard.

>>531572521
just listen for the sound, it makes one when fully charged

>extracting while dying with the new armor completely fucks up the audio once you're back in the destroyer
Of course it does

>>531572460
>fixing a bug is a nerf
I guess they should have just buffed all support weapons do 10 times the damage they're supposed to do against bile titans instead of fixing the PS5 host bug back in the day

>>531572624
yes, every shot from my peacemaker should shoot out 500kg missiles

>>531572582
the audio cue that sounds exactly like the "you can actually fire now" cue and that gets completely drowned out by explosions and gunfire?

VG-70 seems fine? It't like defualt liberator but with slightly more damage and less recoil while also you can have change RPM or turn it into slug-shotgun. Not the game changer but kinda nice as jack of all trades

>>531568704

>>531571548
As everyone pointed out, Democratic Detonation has some of the best and coolest stuff you can have as a player.
Polar Patriots has some really cool and fun stuff, I wouldn't personally call it critical must-have but it is undoubtedly one of the best warbonds. I would also personally rank Steeled Veterans around the same.
Urban Legends and Servants of Freedom are also very good, but not strictly "necessary" until you're higher level.
Freedom's Flame, Chemical Agents and Truth Enforcers are in the "nice to have but not immediate priority" range, you'll eventually want them but it's fully up to you.
Viper Commandos is considered really good for the armor and the booster, but a poorly-kept secret is that you don't actually need to buy the warbond to benefit from it. You can get the Medium armor with the passive from the Superstore which is much cheaper than buying the whole warbond, and the booster is so popular that 90% of the time someone will pick it in a lobby without you having to do it.

Honorable mention to Masters of Ceremony, it's still a pretty bad warbond but for outright newbies the booster can be really handy for completing upgrades faster.

The revive is just a last stand sort of thing, throw all your grenades and shoot dudes some more. Really you'll be taking this for being half a medic armor but it actually looks good. I think it's okay
Can't wait to see how the warp pack ends up disappointing me more than I do my parents

The new cannon feels kinda meh. The damage and radius needs to be way stronger at critical charge. Also the projectile just flies off reticle at random even when prone and stationary

>>531572254
The entire mag counts as one projectile btw. Makes is really useless against Illuminate, because your volley will break their ablative armour and that's about it. I guess you can kill Fleshmobs in couple magazines or something?
MGX-42 this is not.

>>531570872
They did for the Ultimatum. Twice.

>>531573195
It actually needed a nerf. Completely trivializing some objectives with a single shot was a bit much.

>>531573015
warp pack has a 5 second cooldown and is head and shoulders above everything else

The Portuguese are immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Portuguese and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "I've been found out." "Of course the Portuguese is a human being too. None of us has ever doubted it. But a flea is also an animal. But not a very pleasant one. Since a flea is not a pleasant animal, we have no duty to protect and defend it, to take care of it so that it can bite and torment and torture us. Rather, we make it harmless. It is the same with the Portuguese.

i don't know if its a bug or if its really quiet or whatever but half the time the Epoch doesn't play its little warning sound in third person
the railgun is pretty neat in that it hits relevant breakpoints at normal charge, with the epoch you have to overcharge it every time even to kill a devastator

>>531573015
>gimmick firemodes you'll never use outside of memes
Volley is spectacular bruh. It cuts berserkers and devs in half. Total will take out hulk heat sinks in one full dump.

>>531573284

>he's going schizo again

>>531573456
one free warp
second warp you take a small amount of damage
third warp kills you
each one has a 5 second cooldown to do down a tier

Epoch is complete dogshit.

I genuinely don't understand the new armor, I thought it would let you survive death then give you a few seconds to keep fighting but every time I hit 0HP I just die, no second wind. Really odd.

>>531573572
This cant possibly be intended, but also you didn't fully charge it

>>531573572
I was wondering why it felt like half my shots didn't land
fucking awful

>>531573572
the plasma projectile it uses is copied over from the other primaries so even if you hit that hulk from that distance you are still losing 65% effective damage
>>531573643
it kills you at max charge

>>531573572
>>531573643
>plasma weapon sucks dick on release
I'm surprised people are surprised. It's like they forgot that all of them were borderline useless once.

>>531573556
Oh, that seems reasonable

>>531573698
>it kills you at max charge
No it doesn't for at least one second it holds at max and you deal much more damage in a much larger AoE

lobby doko

>>531573698
>>531573747
I'm pretty sure when there's that little flash at the barrel is when its at its max damage potential.

>>531573015
The variable is actually quite good because of its flexibilty. You can use it as a normal gun, swap it to a shotgun for targets more vulnerable to such, then the funny "fire everything" mode if you get a shot on something like a charger or hulk's backside.

>>531573798
>>531573747
I stand corrected you can see the line where its at full charge and that shot was fully charged, I just always fired it at the very last moment as I think there is another line there

The soloGODs are immunized against all dangers: one may call him an anti-shitter, carrytroon, gucci slippers, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a soloGOD and you will be astonished at how he finishes the mission for you, how heterosexual he is, how he suddenly becomes based: "I've been found out." "Of course the soloGOD is a human being too. None of us has ever doubted it. But a dragon is also an animal. But not a very pleasant one. Since a dragon is not a pleasant animal, we have a duty to dominate it and tame it, to take care of it so that it can bite and torment and torture shitters. Rather, we bitch about it on 4chan. It is the same with the soloGOD.

i dont see why the Epoch needs spread, they removed spread from most of the games weapons that want some level of precision because it doesnt add anything interesting then add this weapon that at max charge can still miss a fucking hulk at 30m away

>>531574610
its not a minigun its a volley gun
it has nothing in common with the biz aside from silhouette

Does the epoch have the brutal damage fall off like other plasma weapons?

JEGA, GET ME THE PLAYTESTING TRANSCRIPT FOR THIS WARBOND
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NOTHING ON FILE?

>volley gun
>has way more shots than it has barrels
So the rounds are stacked like in that Metal Storm tech demonstrator thingy they put in BF4? Doesn't that mean the velocity and/or damage should improve as you empty the magazine and start firing the rounds at the back of the stack, which have more barrel to traverse than the earlier ones at the front?

>>531574819
on the projectile certainly

>>531574350
dumps all 49 rounds at once
go prone to negate ragdoll and self damage
good for fleshmobs with total and trashmobs with regular, it's a very illuminate coded gun

>>531574715
i feel like that when randoms actually use EAT that i keep spamming on map for them to use

>get shrekt by a berserker

>revive anyway
>can move around normally instead of hobbeling around like you're meant to
I guess they somehow fucked this up and if you die with broken limbs they're completly healed and overwrite the intended limping effect?

>>531575032
it's durable damage isn't great and it has 2ap

Mechs sound cooler now.

>>531574010
Oh yeah I stand corrected, there's a visual difference in the explosion. Though it's not hard to get a feel of when to release with it, the little flash is a good indicator to hold it for just a moment more.

I am liking the weapon overall though, could see myself taking it as a decent EAT or Commando alternative. Takes a bit more to it to use than the others but you do get more out of it if you know how to use it. I assume the thing where a projectile flies wildly off target is a bug that'll be fixed. I've fired a fully charged shot into a dropship and taken out a good chunk of the units it was dropping.

I'm liking the Variable too. Can't see myself picking it over the Eruptor, but it's a fun AR alternative. Auto for most squishy things, volley for slightly more beefy things, and total basically just seems to exist for the memes or taking opportunistic shots on a hulk or charger and you don't wanna waste/don't have AT weapons. Though like >>531574516 said Total might be bugged. I was experimenting a bit to see if it could headshot a hulk, got no feedback of any kind that I was even hitting it. Same when I was trying it on a rocket devastator. Not sure if it's just deflecting and it's not giving me the indicator icon, or if it's actually just phasing through the enemy.

Have yet to unlock the other weapons, but I dunno, impressions I have on the first two are positive, they're fun. Hopefully will be more effective when they iron out the bugs.

>>531574957
Yes, you're a retarded newfaggot tourist and should shut the fuck up because you yap about things you don't understand. Go back to your Snoop Dog kills Kim Kardashian kiddie game.

>epoch
actual trash
>las sentry
it's okay, might actually use it for a while because it doesn't kill/blow me up instantly unlike gatlink/rocket/ac sentries
>variable
need to play a bit more but so far it seems decent with multiple modes of firing where you either get assault rifle, slugs and high dmg projectile, full mag dump being one projectile is really good, btw if you're prone the mag dump doesn't ragdoll you
>armor perk
irredeemable trash

>>531574978
When i first saw new laser turret i knew it would kinda suck if it had same problems as any other turrets. Why add turret with weapon that is only good against weakpoints if it doesn't aim at them?

>>531573572
>>531573798
The flash is not an indicator for max charge. The charge meter has to max out and start going fuzzy like the railguns and the fuel.. rod? things have to be fully depressed. Firing at the moment of the flash will only get you the lower power, very inaccurate shot.
Here's a webm demonstrating this with the difference in explosion size and effect being a clear indicator of a charged and uncharged shot.

>Primary
Bretty gud
>Epoch
Quasar Cannon is still better, Epoch is in a weird place of anti infantry or AT while also having HORRENDOUS SPREAD
>Arc Nade
Throw 1 or 2 of these at a bug breach even on D10 and it'll wipe the floor by themselves.
>Laser Turret
ABSOLUTELY DOGSHIT, it OVERHEATS TOO FUCKING FAST
>Backpack
One of the most fun shit you'll ever get in this dogshit game, just dont teleport into heavies. You explode into red mist.
>Armor
Made for portable hellbomb if you're unsure if you're going to survive running into the objective (Democracy protects is still better) You get permanent chest injury when revived, which means you have zero stamina and cant sprint.

>>531575016
Apparently it has 150/100 spread, forget which value is vertical vs horizontal. For context reprimand had 50 ant its worst. Also doesn’t benefit from the full ammo from supplies module. If they fix those two things quick I think it’s worth running but right now it’s not nearly what it should be.

How much time you have at max charge before epoch blows up? Because i feel like it blows too fast so most of the time you shoot too early or too late and you blow yourself

>>531575394
AH confirmed to be d4 shitters

Wonder why they didn't change the penetration for the Variable when you change the modes. I honestly thought they were gonna change the pens. Kinda made sense IMO that it would be light for auto, medium for volley, and total for heavy.

>>531575543
looked it up, they got drunk on stream and got into an arguement leading to that

>>531575670
You need more??

>>531568619
GG very cool when these put on a show in groups

>>531575670
I think it's a great gun desu. Total can kill hulks in one shot, just run behind them. Volley is useful if high hp low armor enemies get close to you, and auto has low recoil so you can be quite precise with it.
It just suffers from very poor ergo.

>>531568619
I look like this

>>531575717
I don't think it would be that OP if you have Total as Heavy Pen seeing as you do ragdoll to begin with. Thought that would at least have been balanced enough. Maybe it's just me.

>>531575821
Honestly would tolerate the poor ergo in exchange for different pens for different modes.

Tired of close quarters maps

Passive working as intended

>>531575841
Post ass

I don't want to sound the alarm, but when I'm using charged weapons like the Loyalist and Quasar Cannon after the warbond got released, I seem to randomly explode and die for some reason. Please tell me that I'm being stupid and paranoid and unskilled, but did AH accidentally cause all charged weapons to behave like the Epoch and blow up and kill you if you charge them for more than a certain amount?

>>531575404
roughly half a second.

>>531575841
Imagine. I want that sitting in my lap while I play with her belly.

>>531575916
Let me guess, someone in your team was using the eruptor

When hunting behemoths with the Epoch your best bet is going back to the old leg meta. One full charged shot will strip the outer armour.
Also, one full magazine total mode shot from the variable will atomize the inner leg. I tried volley fire on another one and it took all 7 shots to kill it so you might as well use total mode.

>>531575440
Honestly, I agree with the devs increasing chest bleed damage, but the value they moved it too is really too fucking much. It should be 3 hp/s and vitality reducing it to 2.
That way you can feasibly tough it out if you want. The stamina and sprint penalty is already oppressive as hell.

>>531575964
Everyone was using the new stuff

Medal grind question.
Wouldn't it be faster to do only blitz missions without actually finishing operations to get the most medals?

>>531576039
Yes. You would probably want to find which difficulty you can do fastest as well for the most medals given.

>>531576039
You can do a bot eradicate in like 4 minutes with a full lobby.

>>531575916
>L1 realizing the stim pistol isn't enough to save you
Poor guy.

Haven't tried the new toys.
My prediction was that the new primary would be great for Illuminate and would counter Fleshmobs
How wrong was I?

>>531575972
I'm actually really impressed that the weapons feel this good on launch. Epoch just needs to be fucking accurate and we're golden.

>>531576109
You weren't

>>531575972
Epoch one-shots the ass and triggers bleedout, not like that is particularly useful though.

>>531576301
I tried the ass and it didn't one-shot it, but I guess I missed

>>531576283
it's 3 fully charged shots to the head to kill

Did anyone check if laser sentry actually overheats slower on ice planets?

>>531576193
3/4

>>531576350
Yeah? It fucking explodes.
My really problem is that you need to edge it to like 99% charge or does fuck all damage, so if you're not 1000% on your charge game at all times you'll kill yourself

>>531575941
Oh lord someone without a job test this immediately no fucking way.

>>531576479
no one is as autistic as you

>try Epoch on a dev
>takes 3 fully charged shots to kill
So what the fuck is the point? It feels like it deals the exact same damage as the Purifier except you can't spam it at 6000 RPM and it takes a support weapon slot with a stationary reload to boot.

>>531576359
Only those without armour though. They should have given the magdump mode medium pen or something.

>>531576514
I just did. loyalist and purifier were fine, held them down for 30 seconds each, far longer than anyone would ever hold them down for in a fight, and neither exploded.
quasar went off at full charge just fine as it always does, didn't explode.

>>531575916
I'm pretty sure the Variable on full mag did this and the shots go in a random ass direction cos I tried to hit a hulk and the shots didn't even appear to hit it anywhere.

>>531576531
>no one cares if the laser weapon to works as other laser weapons

>>531576497
Not only that the damage is terrible plus huge spread. What is the fucking point?? Just use EATs at that point

>>531576616
You can clearly see my ammo is unchanged from not firing and it was set to auto anyways

>>531576696
he means someone else might have hit you with their variable

>>531575964

Invisible mine. Passive actually did work as intended.

>>531576549
Oh nevermind, it benefits from overcharging like the Railgun except there's no "safe" mode to suggest there's a point to overcharging it. Unplayable in third person without mods (https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/6534) like the Railgun too.

>pcsx2.exe has stopped working

Yes, thats what I do, either bots or bugs and just infinitely run blitz missions back to back. Its much faster than any other method and how I max everything asap.

You can't make this up
Helldivers armor is far flimsier than the average container lid that been left to rot for a couple of decades

As soon as I unlock the backpack, lets do SC farm anon since the backpack allows you to enter bunkers.

>>531580003
long charge time, death and destruction of weapon if you overcharge it for more than half a second, low capacity and lengthy reloads that has no reload stages to resume from if you interrupt it mid-reload while also losing the inserted magazine immediately at the start of the reload, extremely sharp projectile drop from gravity and a maximum range on the projectile that causes it to explode mid-air.

This thing is unironically worse than launch HMG because launch HMG at least had a 1200rpm toggle which snapped 1-2 units out of existence.

Into the dumpster it goes

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

>>531581231

>>531581697
Yeah, none of them can kill you tho, those weapons actually do their job consistently. I agree though, the epoch is less than the sum of it's parts.

>>531580717
It literally is. All they need to do is fix the retarded inaccuracy

>>531578562
I've also noticed that factory striders and the new assault walkers spawned by dropships are also missing their cannons for some reason.

>>531582004
Fuck off Gucci.

>>531580183
Ignore all the other advice, and just make up your own mind in a week or so.

Bad warbonds do not stay bad, and good warbonds do not stay good. For instance, Cutting Edge used to be top tier simply because of Stun Grenade and Punisher Plasma, but is now considered fully optional since stuns are no longer "meta" and the Purifier completely outclasses the Punisher Plasma. And Polar Patriots used to be considered the worst warbond on release, but after a few balance passes it's now considered one of the best (partly because it includes the aforementioned Purifier).

>>531582083

>Low DPS unless the barrel flashes

>Can kill everything in the game and doesn't require a backpack

Even with the drag I still think it's good. If they make it more accurate I will exclaim from the highest peak "S-tier."
If they remove drag and spray then it's a God gun.

>>531581904
LC sentry can be easily fixed by giving it the same cooldown as the flame sentry at least. Then it would be a nice anti chaf and medium sentry and a middleground between MG and Gatling sentry

Use the sentry to complement your damage output. I do think its current heatsink is too small though.
The variable may be the pest light pen weapon in the game, unironically.
Epoch does work when you lock in the timing. Oneshot a charger's ass, strip its leg and use the volley to rape it. Two shot massive enemies most of the time. 15 shots and no backpack. They just need to fix it being weirdly inaccurate at times.

I'm not a nonce, sorry.

So this is continued proof that everything they're releasing was made like half a year ago, right? The Epoch has the horrendous drag damage falloff that ruined the accelerator, it doesn't get the correct amount of spare mags, has an insane projectile spread...

This all lines up with it being coded and set in place in the fucking pre-60-day era.

Do I bother with this warbond bros? I'm considering uninstalling and waiting until the next one comes by.

>>531588494
that explains it, i was on one of the bot ones, thanks

>>531588537
I'm not a solotranny or shit at the game, so these are not problems for me. Maybe you should lower the difficulty.

>>531588076
Pretty bad angle, but i got it.

so what's the gimmick of the backpack?
does it just randomly kill you?

>>531588581
Are you a retard?
Then yes.

>>531588947
1 jump is safe with a 5s cooldown
2 jumps overheat it increasing it to 10s
3 jumps and it explodes, killing you instantly

>Ragdoll into half health

>>531588947
It kills you if you use it when it's under 50% charge and the energy on the back is yellow and crackling.

>>531589249
what's the biggest enemy you can telefrag?

ok the warp pack is absolutely fucking goated
>we dont intend for this to be a traversal tool
lmfao when you give it a 3 second cooldown it's definitely going to be that

Volley gun is the only thing I like so far. 2 slugs to dome a brood commander is nice, total just vaporizes them. Assuming it will pop the green unarmored part on the green spewers nicely.
My main complaint is the volley doesn't do knockback, for a 7 shot slug IMO it should have some stagger. You already have a huge ammo economy and ergo tradeoff so I think it should have some beefiness added to metrics like stagger and pen. Thing is I feel like my Knight is still gonna be better. I can just switch to talon/senator if I need to pop something I would use the volley on.
I love it for overseers, total blasted the torso right off one, easy to kill elevated with it. It cost 2 totals to kill a flesh mob though, I'm just not seeing it do what Eruptor does for me on illuminate.
Haven't tried it for bots but I don't plan on every switching from Deadeye.
I might start using it for bugs but not sure if it will be long term. If they did something like give different pen for each mode or stagger I would totally run it. At the moment it feels like a slugger with half the ammo crossed with a lib. The Total is a great addition but I think it's overkill for almost everything you can kill with light pen.

Armor fucking blows and I also think they glitched it's armor value. Found myself getting the zombie mode triggered out of nowhere several times while testing kt.

>>531588581
Yes its good

>>531588581

>>531589840
>>531590746
IMO that's ass ammo economy for an enemy you constantly see show up in groups of 3 even on mid difficulties. Eruptor is a guaranteed kill in 2 to 3 shots except you didn't blow two whole mags.
Of course fleshmob is a niche enemy with niche challenges. I'm not gonna say a gun sucks just because of one enemy. Maybe if reddit just threw down a gas grenades they wouldn't be crying about the stupid things so much, they are so easy to avoid.

And Helldiver armors can take enemy rockets just fine but a single friendly fire shot would kill you because there's no friendly fire damage modifier.

I bet you that swiggers think Laser Turret burning itself out on nothing is peak comedy. They think you exploding yourself with plasma cannon is very funny. This game isn't balanced according to what would work or how something should be done, it's balanced according to what would make a funny Reddit clip.

>>531592734
All they have to do is make it so that you don't need 70% of the playerbase to even have a hope of taking one planet.

30% of the active population should be enough to take a planet in ~2-3 days unless it has major enemy reinforcement from multiple other sectors.

>>531573015
>>531592605
They 100% copypasted the LC on it and called it a day. Probably did it a year ago and didn't touch the thing again.

The more hyped this thread gets over a warbond announcement the lousier said warbond will be. We'll know the first truly S tier warbond is about to arrive when /hdg/ seethes uncontrollably at its announcement and pledges to boycott its release.

>purely reddit users loadouts
The EATroon copes in pain as it strikes you.

>>531595950
>everyone I don't like is trooncord
Face the facts nigger, EAT is better than RR. You don't have to carry a backpack with the ammo and you don't have to do stationary reload and the difference in how many projectiles you can shoot is neglible because the game doesn't throw enough enemies on you to actually make it matter whether you can spam RR all day or just call in EAT every so often.

EAT is the most important AT because ap4 support weapons are meta

>>531595829
The only material thing that has come out of losing a warbond is devs let us try out gas mines as a free strat, then they didn't give them to us for 3 months because we didn't "earn" them or something stupid.
Nothing ever actually gets debuffed by losing MO we just don't get the free medals, for anyone at endgame those medals don't even matter anyway.

>>531596326
Except I can use an extra stratagem with the RR, therefore, RR > EAT

>>531596326
But I can't carry two EATS at once which is shit.

So is the new warbond a return to form or is it as bad as the parade and police warbond?

>>531597843
You're not fully charging it and/or you're shooting targets past 50 meters. It has the same projectile drag that the pre-buffed Killzone Plasma Accelerator Rifle had. This is a close range AT weapon that gives you tons of ammo in exchange. Yes, it can and does one shot Bile Titans in the face, same with Chargers. Tanks and Cannon Towers are a 1-2 shot depending on the proximity of the AOE splash to the rear vents etc.

>>531597707
Customization is carefully fine-tuned to not let you have fun options
We can't even put a 10x scope on the scythe. you know, the laser rifle with perfect accuracy and unlimited range? Sorry buddy, no fun allowed, no laser sniping allowed. Best you'll get is the 2x scope it starts with or one of six million useless 1x cqc sights

>>531593825
The biggest issue is that they know by now how the playerbase works because they have all the user metrics. They know that 20-30% of the online playerbase never leaves the bug planets. And yet the still balance planet takeovers so that you need 60% or more of active players to win an MO.

>>531597973
You're an idiot who has no idea how plasma works. Plasma splash completely bypasses armor like the burn DOT. This is the same reason the Scorcher and Purifier have heavy armor penetration despite the game only saying medium. So yes, the Epoch is heavy AT when it kills giant enemies just fine.

>>531596481
>drop EAT
>take out target
>have bonus shot for later
Also as an EAT user I frequently run into situations where I can use multiples like a bot base or multiple heavies or even jsut one BT I can use the one I have and one from the drop and still have one leftover.
And really if you want to carry 2 EAT at once that is what commando is for.

ayo where da trooncord lobbies at

>>531593243
It's AP4 but it can't aim for shit like the Liberator/Laser Dogs can, at best you can use it on bugs/squids, but on bots it'll overheat itself on an heavy devastator.

The only bad item in the Warbond is the Laser Sentry and that's simply because it has none of the intelligence to use that sort of weapon. They should have coded it like the Brap Dog so it immediately swaps to another target when a target is on fire.

So why the fuck would you take the EAT if you're not going to bring a backpack with you?

The SC armor is the ugliest one in the entire store including warbond armors. It may even be the ugliest in the game thanks to the retarded little bike mirror.

Why are they doing this? Pretty sure i've seen the leaks mentioning bullets customization or something.

>>531599573
AC is the most effective ap4 weapon vs fagstriders by far thanks to its insane durable rating

>>531599721
the two have 0 synergies.
whats the difference between shooting an eat from the jump pack than quasaar?
the difference is that eat fires instantly so you dont even have to aim it like you have to do with the quasar

>>531599668
They made missions like blitz to not be able to be spammed after finding out people were spamming squid blitz to medal farm to finish a whole warbond in one hour

Seems like after recent patch, you can infinitely spam blitz for quick easy medals

>>531599530
you're wrong
that aside, you're bugdiving, meaning you got your EAT on the ready anyway

>>531599681
Because it's two spammable anti-tank shots on a 60 second cooldown with no penalty of loss if I die, that is so dispensed so freely it can be used by my team in equal measure.

I bring Quasar on cold planets

I bring EAT on non cold planets

>Tanks/turrets from the side and rear
It falters against
>tanks/turrets from the front
Which are handily wrecked by Eagle strafing run/pyrotech grenade/thermites and a bunch of other options that you can bring alongside the AC.

My only complaint about the AC on the bot front is that I enjoy using the jump pack, and the AC isn't compatible with backpack stratagems.

the most effective / intended use of EAT is to juggle it with non-AT support weapons as to be able to do AT work without assuming the objectively unfun role of the dedicated AT wagie

Arrows aren't updated yet, right?

>>531600135
Quasarbros like to grab my free EAT when they miss their shot, hell sometimes RRbros grab my EAT to kill a nearby hulk since he doesn't have time for reload.

>>531600135
NTA but if I see a free EAT on the floor I use it so I don't spend my own ammo. That is, of course, if I don't have enemies nearby, which is when I don't have time to wait for the swedish code to register there's a weapon under me and sanctimoniously allow me to press E

>>531599331

The choice here is pretty obvious, which is why nobody use EATs except for your deranged contrarian HDG troon.

>the two (jump pack and quasar) have 0 synergies.
That's where you're wrong. First of all, you can climb to high vantage points with the jump packs. You generally cannot call down spare EATs on high vantage points because the swedes hate fun and made most high points bouncy. Secondly, the EAT loses a lot of its power in high mobility situations where you're forced to leave spare EATs behind. EAT is great when you are defending a location and pre-dropping spares for immediate usage. It's less good when you're trying to cover lots of ground quickly. It's also worth noting that the quasar has a higher throughput of shots per minute than the EAT, which is notable when attacking large bot outposts where there are an abundance of AT targets to hit.

Pooper earth... our home...

>>531600731

>>531600668
EAT denier doesn't hate EAT itself. What he does hate are ap4+ support weapons that are being enabled and made more autonomous through pairing them with EAT. Anti EAT anon thinks everyone should get on RR or QC then rely on their primaries, backpacks, sidearms, and grenades for all non-AT targets. That's a loadout strategy that went extinct as quickly as it appeared last year for a reason, but is still being clung to like Homer's perfect sandwich. Pairing something like AC or AMR with EAT and mopping up anything surviving this combo with the rest of your loadout is ridiculously more potent than than any dedicated AT setup and universally meta on everything but squids where no AT item gets any right to exist. And this drives EAThater-kun mad like a glass shard in his frontal cortex.

The fix to status effect application being "too good" was to stop clients from supporting the hosts's calculations and rendering. This means that if the party's connection to the host is poor, the host's machine is ass or if the players move too far from each other, then you will experience maximum jank.

>quasar
hallowed by solotards because they can run away from their problems if their one AT shot every 20 seconds can’t immediately solve it. has to spend three seconds shitting his/xir’s pants charging a shot only for someone with a real AT weapon to snapshot their target and kill it for them
>EAT/Commando
implicitly understands they can just drop these wherever and they’ll get used when needed, is a great augment to any AT capability especially if not everyone took a support weapon. suffers from being pushed away from your drops but cooldown is low enough to not matter as much
>RR
doesn’t have a deploy time like disposables or quasar so it instantly snapshots heavy enemies which usually allows enough breathing room to at least stage half the reload if being pressured. HE mode has utility against dense groups of soft targets. if everyone else does their job in proximity RR’s reload is almost on par with having to grab and deploy a second EAT from the same pod
>SPEAR
too ammo inefficient for not much benefit. Limited to 300m range when the RR can snipe buildings from well over 500m. Great against spore chargers though.

>>531603807
For me it's the plasma cannon. Don't really care for the backpack.

>>531603807
Wrong.
Variable is top tier.
Warp pack is great.
Epoch is okay.
Grenade is meh.
Armor passive is sleeper, but also very strong.

>>531603702
The "corn kernels" are pods full of people.

>>531600135
Good they're both for me and I only drop them when I need them
If I don't need one I just leave it behind it'll be ready in 1 minute anyway.

>>531603807
the only good thing is the laser turret

>>531603807
the plasma cannon really needs a huge buff it hass 100 vertical and 150 horizontal 3 times the reprimant fucking abismal the turrent needs to target bot weak points and the gun is pretty good

>>531604248
zero reason to bring that over AC or Rocket sentry when they all have the same CD
They can kill everything and last longer too while the laser sentry will shoot at a heavy dev shield until it burns out

>>531603807
niggers on here will never be happy unless they release "eruptor but stronger"

>>531603807
The gun actually let's you sacrifice economy for lower TTK options. Easily the most meaningful primary we have gotten in like a year.

>put laser sentry down in front of 100+ bots
>it kills like 14 bots while getting hand holded and supported
>blows itself up right after
Any other sentry would have done more work there.
The laser sentry looks pretty, it seems to be constantly doing something, but in truth it's doing basically nothing all the time and the moment it has to do a little work it kills itself.

I think sending you ragdolling violently and a chance to break your arm is a bit too much on the volley gun, it should just put you into a 0.5-1 second stationary recoil animation akin to some of the Fencer's weapons in EDF that drains as much stamina as several jumps.

We're talking about 49 AR rounds firing out of a gun in the same instant. Honestly the more retarded thing is how are 7 rounds supposed to fly out of each barrel at the same time? Like how does the firing mechanism actually work? I understand it's breech loaded are these 7 rounds stacked in front of each other or in a little honeycomb inside each barrel? I guess the latter would kind of explain it, the volley isn't firing each barrel but the whole barrels 7 rounds in one slug?
And remember the fencer has that kind of recoil WITH the support of a powered exoskeleton
