>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.

>>531613756
They jankified anything in an attempt to fix status effect application.
Weirdly enough the game runs slightly smoother though.

>>531613451
Welcome to the "status check fix". Where basically nothing rechecks now so everything that operates through the same framework has a chance to fall off the earth.

>>531613993
Because there is less operations taking place now. I bet this was actually done for the xbox series s and they are blaming status checks so they get no pushback against the xbox release.

They need to give the new strider an asshole you can shove grenades into. Like a bug hole for bots.

lolno sorry I'm not abandoning the one faction that still gets to have a degree of armor and functional defenses

Remember when they said they'd take longer for each warbond in order to increase the quality? Haha.

see you then, here's hoping it won't be another catastrophe it absolutely will be another catastrophe

They can't even push out a warbond without the game shitting the bed. I can't imagine the dumpster fire that's going to come from the Xbox launch, especially series S.

Bringing the stim pistol, gas grenades, and wearing the Hazmat helm makes for great roleplay. Meta-fags can eat their heart out. Fun-chads stay winning.

>>531615848
Depends on if you would've been affected by the need for rechecks during the session. There is a chance that all your application rolls will go into the nether and your weapon will basically become useless.

>>531617196
What's the warp pack got to do with stalker?

>>531616391
I think the idea was to have it be a more close range weapon to deal with big threats quickly. But yeah the spread should be fixed. Does it get more accurate the longer you hold the trigger?

Epoch and Variable already convinced me on the warbond.

>>531617641
Oh, I forgot about that. Makes sense.

>>531613716
Wait, can EATs take out fabricators without hitting the vents?

>>531617789
All of it so they could nerf status effects. Which people rarely used in the first place.

Feels like it. I've been sniping fabs with it.
Genuinely do not see any problem with the spread.

>>531618117
NTA, I'm an EAT user and I never noticed that, I always sniped the vents

hot takes incoming:
variable is meh, reload too long, shotgun mode is bad, blast mode is haha funny meme but really not that useful
epoch is okay, the closer you release to the sweetspot the smaller the spread, takes a while to get accurate shots in

At the very end of Shadow of Chernobyl, the Marked One (you player character), can choose a certain path to complete in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on your way to find the Wish Granter (aka the Monolith).

Long story short. You can choose to find the true source of the power of the Wish Granter by fighting the Monolith brainwashed soldiers around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and you get around faster by jumping through portal anomalies that teleport your around the map to help you get to your goal. It's an awesome fighting sequence.

>>531617686
we have an obnoxious clique of discordtrannies that shit up the thread constantly as well as a ₽oortuguése quadroon that has unironically been shitposting for hours, DAILY for the past year about how the game was ruined after the 60 day patch, among other shitposts he keeps spamming.

>>531619074
It doesn't let you go into bunkers...

>>531619902
The gun is a meme with super low ergonomics. Every other AR is better. The plasma cannon is shit since it has little ammo, a long charge up, and buggy spread. The queso cannon is better in every way. The laser sentry wastes its heat on shit it can't kill. The armor perk is barely useful. The backpack is interesting and has its own niche as a short range dodge. I haven't unlocked the nade yet. Overall shit.

>>531620804
Volley is like twice as strong as breaker, you pop a brood commander's head in two shots.
The auto firing mode is servicable for when you don't need the volley.
Total even has its use, can instantly kill impaled on its weakpoint.
Only real downside is economy.

>>531621432
bit a nuisance more than anything desu senpai
use if you want, but it gets old pretty quick

>>531620804
It's ergo is (negligibly) better than the base DCS its NOT that bad. A little bit of drag and light pen are perfectly good tradeoffs for the wild damage potential you can get out of it for a primary weapon desu.

not consistent for me.
what was its damage, 1000+1000?

>>531622558
yeah, it's pretty consistant for me. When it charges past the little line it's basically max charge and will deal the full damage.

>>531620690
>it can rocket jump
I mean, it can uncontrollably launch you 3ft into the air, sure. Nothing close to rocket jumping with smoke plants though.

>>531623893
This whole game is technological debt in action, they can't fix shit without breaking something else, they can't release shit that isn't broken

>>531624373
I dunno what's wrong with the series S, but it's not age. It's hardware is supposed to be stronger than a steam deck, however, it somehow manages to have trouble running things that run on the steam deck. Probably all the microsoft spyware, if I had to guess.

>>531624415
you can get some serious speed doing it down an incline and it can get you up to places you'd never be able to otherwise (without a pack). You can infiltrate outposts without running around the entire encampment by sacrificing one single magazine. A stim too if you want to be super safe. It's great.

Most of them doesn't really mind a rando joining in.

Does the Quasar Cannon actually fucking DO anything against bots? It doesn't feel like it.

>>531626301
kills heavies?

>>531626301
If you always shoot it off cooldown and always hit something with it, you'll be doing more shots/minute than an EAT/Commando user, it also has no projectile drop and high velocity unlike those two that allows it to snipe stuff.
Otherwise stick to a real primary support weapon and use EAT/Commando (or even both) for all your AT needs, you'll get to level your primary to 25 that way too.

epoch cannon sucks

>>531626929
No, the Commando doesn't arc, only the EAT does. It was my bad to bunch them up in one sentence that implies it also has projectile drop.
Its main downside compared to the EAT is really just the higher cooldown, otherwise it's mostly a better EAT with less overkill letting it actually kill more heavies, except maybe for sniping bile titan heads that it's kind of worse at thanks to the lower damage.

>>531625447
hold space bar dingus

Does the laser turret never despawn as promised? There is this very specific edge use that i've been thinking off where you spend the entire match putting them down at extraction.

>>531627589
if it overheats (it overheats fast) it explodes

>>531626583
I don't know why the charge is so unforgiving. It's not strong enough to be so risky and have so little ammo at the same time.

>>531627301
Of course. I had forgotten about that fucker.

>>531627685
The idea is to saturate extraction with them before any enemies come. There has to be a critical mass point where they kill things faster than they overheat if enough of them are together.

fun fact the Epoch timer is the same as the RG's

Once you get used to the charge time, you don't need to ADS it. Would say it's one of the best designed support weapons we've gotten to date.

>>531628002
The laser sentry has a 2 minute-ish cooldown, unless you brought the FRV with you, you are not going to go back to the LZ every 2 minutes just to plop down another laser sentry.

Also all it takes is an AV5/Heavy Devastator/Fleshmob/a patrol agroing into the stack and the sentries' aim to shoot into a wall for them to blow themselves up.

They use the shit stingray engine because of swedish arrogance. You see, stringray was made by swedes and thus is the best engine ever! Everyone else dropping it are too dumb to embrace swedish excellence.

I hate swedes.

might try it without supply pack though just to see how the ammo economy is.

I will crush your balls with my hips.

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

>>531620613
Fair enough, but you'd be surprised how you can still hit their face at a 90 degree angle - but of course it's not easy. Not to mention that by the time you kill one, everyone else around them is gonna immediately turn towards you anyway.

The recoilless rifle is a huge crutch. If you take it, you are actively ruining the game by making it braindead simple. I kick anyone who takes the recoilless and I do warn in the loadout screen that they need to change it when chosen.

when the fuck are they giving us victory poses from the store front

>Would say it's one of the best designed support weapons we've gotten to date.

After using it, I strongly disagree. A short ranged weapon that requires a lengthy charge that doesn't one shot hulks without hitting the coin slot is fucking terrible. Unless the damage falloff is so bad that you need to be melee ranged to one shot with a body shot, it takes two at all times since even from 25 yards with a full charge which means I might as well use an AP4 weapon instead because the AP5 doesn't do anything useful. The lack of damage also means that unless you're hitting vents, you're going to take forever to chew through a tank or cannon/bunker turret anyway, much less a factory strider, which again makes it pointless compared to an AP4 weapon. I really want to like having a backpackless AP5 weapon that doesn't have the Queso's retarded CD, but needing to spend like 6 seconds per hulk when I can kill them in one with the AMR or De-escalator feels really fucking bad.

So what happens now that we are guaranteed to lose the MO? They disabling the DSS again?

This is definitely an Alexus warbond.

>>531631754
>A short ranged weapon that requires a lengthy charge that doesn't one shot hulks without hitting the coin slot is fucking terrible
that's wrong though, unironically git gud and practice the charge. It one shots the hulk by hitting center mass in the video.
Thing consistantly shits out 1000 x 1000 AP5 damage. What more could you want.

>>531631832
because everyone bad at the game hates it?

>>531632404
I killed a fab with it, took two shots

>>531632009
2/4 Come ON we have bots to kill

>>531629852
I refuse, in fact here's the 200% effort version
Epoch is currently balanced for being a cqb (20-80m radius) AT weapon but all preexisting AT weapons are great at those ranges already. I get that it's supposed to fill an ap5 niche but for that it needs to be reliable as to not make the lesser or greater pen alternatives look more economical.
Variable is another one of those guns that just aren't so viable without a whole loadout built around them. This one in particular really wants you to pick supply pack and peak physique. And that's just to bring a merely decent, quite dps and range constrained primary a bit closer to viable. Not good. Buffs of any kind could evolve it beyond a mere flavor pick though.
Warp pack is pretty great. Movement mixups are always refreshing. The one leg this warbond stands on at the moment.
Arc grenades are just really boring to me and like so many others not competitive for the insane dps the top tier throwables can do. Maybe they would be more intriguing flavor wise if we hadn't been firing at everything with arc GL for weeks. I'd have preferred literally any other unchecked box for an arc item.
The armor is a neat dice throw mechanic for the guy that really hates dying with stims on him, enabling him to stim up his corpse state and getting at least a token use out of them. Nobody really cares though because 9 in 10 missions come with the HSO booster. Low tier perk. Reforming would be nice, most people do not wanna use this and will correctly point out that perks which outright prevent you from dying are the vastöy more based choices.

So what's supposed to be the utility of the Senator against bots when devastators and lighter are handled just as well by the diligence and anything heavier needs either the sustained dps of an HMG/Eruptor or outright AT

>>531632842
>It one shots the hulk by hitting center mass in the video.

Play the fucking game. I just dragged it through two missions, and can tell you it does not one shot to the body. I don't know if they kept the retarded plasma damage drop off that they finally fixed for the sniper, or if the projectile damage has shit damage to durable, but it does not one shot hulks without hitting the coin slot. The body has 1800 HP with 60% durable for a Hulk.

>>531633062
>This one in particular really wants you to pick supply pack and peak physique
which is a really nice niche because we had nothing to fit the niche of ap2 primary balanced around bad ergo

>I get that it's supposed to fill an ap5 niche but for that it needs to be reliable as to not make the lesser or greater pen alternatives look more economical.

Yeah which is great, it's a sidegrade to rockets by being a close range powerhouse that's twice as economical.

>>531633350
it used to be coin slotting hulks, but now they added war striders, it's gotten a lot worse in utility. It pairs nicely though with commando for finishing off heavy weakspots. Buddy of mine uses it to kill bile titans, and you could probably do that with warstriders too.

Lotta Epoch copers ITT. Probably Alexus himself samefagging.

I'm sure she will be a great gun. The best even.

I think people rely too much on things like the recoilless, the quasar and the 500 KG. I miss the randomize button from HD1, but there's too many equipment slots in this game to have it back, I think.

>>531633495
Uh no, you play the fucking game and watch the video.
Get good at charging the thing. It does 1000 damage PLUS 1000 explosive damage both ap5. It will annihilate hulks. You need to hit the sweet spot of charge. Just git gud.

>>531633521
>it used to be coin slotting hulks

>>531619004
>the gun is meant to become perfectly accurate when perfectly charged, they clearly fucked this up, you can tell it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't
are you sure it's actually fully charged? the cues aren't what you might think they are. that blue flash that comes from the barrel? that's not a cue for it being fully charged. The meter has to be fully red and fuzzy like a railgun approaching 99%, and coils or fuel rods or whatever need to be fully depressed. There's a significant difference in the size and appearance of the explosion between an uncharged and a fully charged shot

Is the spread of the plasma gun SUPPOSED to be so high?

>>531633713
Randomized stratagems would be great and maybe even make d10 hard

the final sidearm blackpill is that no pure dps pistol really cuts it for metaslaving because the explosive+ picks namely Ulti, Loyalist, and GP can pull so much more weight than the rest both dps and map clearing wise. Senator in particular is quite nastly for reload time and capacity compared to its closest peers. however, ballistic pistols are fun and you should keep using it if you find it fun. for me it's Verdict though, more spammable, much snappier reload, tactical reload.

yes, even when getting the very large explosion you'll get shots that skew
like I said, I think they fucked up some of the timing, the blue ball appearing at the tip of the barrel after the pause really should be an indicator that it's ready to fire the charged shot but it's off but a fraction of a second, and I think the 100% accuracy is just as broken

No, you completely misunderstood what has been said. You read "need 99% charge for maximum damage" and incorrectly assumed I was killing myself.

The damage you achieve in this danger state is not worth the risk. Again, I am a cunt's hair away from death every time I'm firing this thing at its maximum damage, which is 800 by the way. 300 less damage than a single Commando missile, 1200 less than a single EAT. Both of these weapons are renowned for being some of the most death-risk free support weapons in the game. At 99% charge, the Epoch should be absolutely SHITTING on the competition.

>Needs the Gas Dog AI of swapping to targets not suffering from DOT.
The fire isn't why you use laser weapons, it's infinite ammo, but for the LC specifically, it's also the ability to consistently deal with anything less than a tank. So the LC Sentry doesn't need the Gas Dog AI, it needs a completely new AI that deliberately targets Hulk and Dev weakspots in addition to actually stopping to cool down. It should also probably prioritize the fastest-approaching enemy so it doesn't get caught with its pants down by some shitmob while cooling down after trying to snipe a Hulk 100 meters away.

So how's control group warbond? I have enough sc for either that or force of lawl and both look cool

Anyone that's shilling the Epoch to you is certified for not playing the game. Variable is fine but annoying since you have fire rate and fire method to switch which they have not made any quicker since the Halt but also has the important one, fire mode, on the wrong side to get switched by the same bind that you used on the Halt to switch ammo types. Warp Pack is a SC farmer's dream since you get into Bunkers solo now, and the grenade and armor are memes.

https://streamable.com/f8kszd

epoch would be a neat useful AoE/Explosive alternative to the railgun if it didn't have the trait of missing 75% of every shot you make.

Items in bunkers didn't actually spawn as an interactable item prior to the Warp Pack being added. Arrowhead changed this so it was no longer tied to the button, meaning the Warp Pack doing this is intended.

The new armor just confuses me. You can't run while under the effect and the damage tick is a lot harsher than I thought it'd be, you're basically crawling on your stomach for a few extra seconds until you die. You'd be better off going for Democracy Protects at that point since it only triggers 50% of the time anyway

I genuinely believe that they're so fucking bad at this, they need to have a PENCILS DOWN day where they freeze all development and play the game for a day or two. Make note of all the stupidly obvious shit anyone would catch within minutes, fix THAT shit, and then hit the live button.

make sure to update it so it shows up in recent reviews

How does one obtain such power

>>531645914
Well, a deal's a deal.

I like the epoch

I have killed myself roughly four times with it

Alexus said the Epoch is balanced and you just need to get good.

alexus tongues my anus

>>531646795
i like the concept, design, and potential of it

i do not like alexus' fuckery and lack of playtesting which makes it not worth taking over the eat or commando in any situation

>>531647135
alexus says many untruths

So, when do we publicly execute Alexus and release the ragdoll immune armor?

i need my audio mods

>>531646795
It really isn't so bad. It's precision problem annoys me but hopefully that will be fixed soon. I assume this flood of asshurt is from people who genuinely got filtered by it.

>shoot bot with total mode
>it glances off his armor as a single projectile
...the fuck?

>>531647849
the asshurt is by people expecting a good plasma (finally) support weapon and getting something that is dogshit

the railgun rewards overcharging, meanwhile epoch has no difference between a 10% charged shot and a 95% charged shot. The superduper99%shot does less damage than a single commando rocket. It is undertuned and the random spread is likely from a while ago before they did away with random spread.

Apart from the armor, that instead of death should arc surge and stun/kill around you once, 10/10 warbond.

>>531648151
Just wait a half second after the beeping starts to let off the trigger. It really is that easy to get the supershot. Look, I think it's fine but I also regard the complaining as a good thing, it means us plasmaGODs can forever expand our power.

Kikezone status?

Bugs

>>531648904
i want to the charger

>>531648151
Are you guys not charging to full? Are you not using Siege Ready? Because I can kill everything in the game in a giant AoE in 1-2 shots maximum on a weapon with a rapid reload and plenty of ammo. It is also fairly accurate, I would say 1/10 shots isnt smack bang on the centre of the screen.

The only downside I see is you have to use first person to shoot, and you have to fully charge it to the end of the bar, but I never even kill myself. The only time I did was on purpose.

I feel like im playing a different game to everyone here, the plasma cannon is easily S tier. Infinitely better than a commanfo because it had the same or more damage but also AoE and more shots.

So... can you enter bunkers and loot the SC with the warp pack?

>>531649174
why don't you try it and figure it out yourself

*griefs u*

>>531649301
only have 500 SC atm and even then i dont have enough medals on account of me not touching this mess in the last 3 months

>>531648196
Armor and boosters should be something you can continually benefit from while you're alive. Perks that activate when you die are a stupid gimmick. Especially since when I die, it's usually because:
A) my teammates threw a nappy while I was clearing a nest
B) my teammates threw a turret directly behind us
C) I got one-shot from across the map by a cannon
None of those situations benefit from exploding armor.

>>531649451
so it doesnt matter if it can or cant then

>>531649021
>he aims in first person
I just go off the visual and audio cues, it took some practice but I finally managed to time it perfectly from the initial depression of the trigger to the 99% shot. Personally I'm glad the epoch gets some sort of drawback otherwise it would be complete powercreep.

Is the Variable good at killing the heavies of every group? I've been killing Hulks with it but I haven't gone to the bugs to fight Chargers, Impalers, and Titans yet

Ok Alexus, sure Alexus.
>>531650168
Are you retarded?

>>531650168
Depends entirely on the durable damage of each bullet when we're talking bugs. I've seen footage of them making decent work of Fleshmobs though, and the shotgun mode can collapse shields really good.

>>531638861
Never ascribe to malice what can better be explained by nordic incompetence

>>531649021
>Infinitely better than a commanfo because it had the same or more damage but also AoE and more shots.
look, I'm not a whiner, but that's just not true in practice. half the damage is explosive which all large enemies have some resistance against, and the other half is on a plasma projectile with 50% durable damage ratio instead of the 100% ratio of the commando, and being a plasma weapon it has massive damage fall off.

>>531649174
yes

Someone on youtube showed a clip where doing that twice vs the busted up guts of a bile titan would kill it. Not really an ideal answer to bile titans but I think it's arguably an acceptable plan-C. Flehsmobs are probably the main target since they're unarmored so you can maximize damage against them. But it's very ammo inefficient and fleshmobs come at you in mass sometimes. You can one-tap hulk heatsinks with the big shot.

I like to think that guard dog drones have cameras on them that automatically upload helldivers shenanigans to DiveLeak™ on the super earth internet where citizens get to watch high quality war footage kino

>right to vengeance
That's not, and never has been, a thing, ever. Grow up, kid.

>>531658473
Humanity is good, faggot.
>but the heckin aliens
Die.

>>531659258
and unfortunately it's like 2 normal shots away from popping a behemoths ass after a total shot

>DiveLeak
i lol'd

>>531660081
This.
The side I'm on is the good guys because i don't side with bad guys.

>>531660047
absolute victim mentality
never have children

>>531659619
I thought you like more difficulty anon, so we gave you teleporting patrols behind you just like squids patrols :)

>>531659367
I don't give a shit how 'justified' their anger is, we're giving them freedom, they're genociding us, its a war of attrition and you're on the human side by right of birth, so either you do your part or those commie bots will cleave and saw through your wife and then toss your children in a blender alive.

>>531660478
>we're giving them freedom
haha, I get it, you're joking
>you're on the human side by right of birth
someone didn't play the first game
who the fuck do you think the cyborgs were

>xenocucks
>media illiteracy
Name a more iconic duo.

The teleport seems pretty based for stealth, doesn’t seem to alert enemies from what I can tell so you can teleport through walls and do the objective then teleport away. How’s everyone else finding it? Guns seem ass though and the nade is shit

>>531658134
Zeon ARE the good guys

>>531660606
Don't care what they were (traitors and socialists). What they are NOW are murderrape machines that ARE coming for your family. Shoot them or watch your family get murderraped. Simple as.

>>531659795
Arc nades is REALLY good, it stuns heavies too.

>>531660792
they didn't murder the cyborgs, they saved them

>>531660773
So good that in their fight for spacenoid independence they murder a billion said spacenoids then try to drop a radioactive asteroid on the "pure and beautiful earth" because billions must die o algo

>>531660972
They died for ZOG

>See inhuman robots that literally dismember human beings, kidnaps women and children to put them in giant blood blenders, plants their skulls on literal fucking spikes, and then their brains to serve as fodder for their war machine as they corrupt and pollute every planet they encounter

Imagine if the Warp was actually peaceful until the Imperium started trying to fuck with it and turn it into a weapon, resulting in Chaos being formed, and the Imperium being forced to fight endlessly against its own idiocy and greed. That is effectively what Super Earth has done although on a much smaller scale.
However, the thing that people ALWAYS seem to always fucking miss is that Helldivers and the SEAF don't know any better, they just shoot what they're told and shown is an objectively evil threat to their friends, family, and way of life. To them they're just giving their life for justice, which makes them selfless heroes at their core.
The government is evil, its people are not, and although bots and squids are justified in their hatred of Super Earth, their ire toward the people that are selectively fed information in order to make them see bots and squids as nothing more than monsters that deserve to be exterminated, is misplaced, but constant war has forced them into the monstrous extremists Super Earth lied about them being.

The devs wanted to make a shitty satire about why evil nazis are bad, and accidently shat out something too nuanced for their mostly illiterate playerbase to understand.

>>531660773
SIEG ZEON!

>>531661138
>evil nazis
Super Earth is a parody of GWOT era America, not the nazis

>>531661138
What aspect of bots is redeemable in your eyes you fucking psychotic retard

>>531661119
>inhuman robots invade cities.
>will avoid shooting at helldivers so they can actively butcher the unarmed civilians.
I NEED TO MURDER AUTOMATON BABIES ON CYBERSCAM
THIS IS MY RIGHT ARROWHEAD

>>531659619
But that's a good thing though. Let us have our strong weapons and let the enemy come in numbers.

Last Stand would be good if the DOT and stamina lock wore off after a while. Make it a long while if you want, like 4 stims worth, but that would be interesting especially for people who are really autistic about their death count

>>531651051
I FUCKING HATE DURABLE. REMOVE DURABLE

>What aspect of bots is redeemable
They look pretty cool. I want a heavy armor that just makes me look like a Devastator
