>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.

Daily reminder that after a warbond releases /hdg/ gets flooded by bad players who try to use X, suck at it, then come here to complain that it's bad.

The official status of the new warbond is that its well above average to even OP tier nearly on par with Democratic Detonation.

Can you dive and warp, could you dive, warp, land on ground then one tap with full burst?

>>531676516
>You described the exact same thing twice.
no? I don't see how. I'm establishing the conditions of a hypothetical scenario.If some code fuckery was happening that made the epochs spread 10 times worse than it is listed as being, that's a bug.
but it's not. the actual value is just 150. no weird code conflicts, no multiplying values out of nowhere, the base value that the engine is pulling from to determine the spread is just set arbitrarily really high. It's an oversight, like if they released a gun that did 1000 damage a shot instead of 100.

where is the SC farming session?

>>531676948

the bullets are all inside of the barrels lined up and are fired in sequence by setting off their charges with electricity running to only the segment of barrel they're in

>>531677306
>Metal Storm used the concept of superposed load; multiple projectiles loaded nose to tail in a single gun barrel with propellant packed between them
>Metal Storm has created a 36-barreled stacked projectile volley gun, boasting the highest rate of fire in the world. The prototype array demonstrated a firing rate of just over 1 million rounds per minute for a 180-round burst of 0.01 seconds (~27,777 rpm / barrel). Firing within 0.1 seconds from up to 1600 barrels (at maximum configuration) the gun claimed a maximum rate of fire of 1.62 million RPM and creating a dense wall (0.1 m between follow-up projectiles) of 24,000 projectiles.
The most bullets ever bulleted, it was so bulleted that when it fired it often fired everything in the barrel, firing even more bullet for each bullet. Which was its eventual downfall, it fired too many bullets.

You can use Eagles an unlimited number of times throughout a mission, which makes them unlimited. You cannot call in an unlimited number of mechs and Orbital Lasers, which makes them limited.

>>531682631
>>531682482
You're both obtuse faggots. OPS can be used more often and is therefore less powerful than a 500kg.

>>531680609
No, all it needs is a 70 second cooldown so that with full upgrades it has about a 60 second cooldown. Beyond that, Orbital Smoke and Orbital EMS need cooldown reductions to be approximately the same as Orbital Gas.

>>531681643
It's called Orbital Precision Strike, not Orbital General Area Strike.

>>531683173
I'm actually wrong - you can only use the 500kg about 34 times. I took the 10% partial rearm into account but still counted it as if you had used both bombs.
You can still use the 500kg more than you can OPS, of course provided it's your only Eagle.

>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST BRING WHAT YOU WANT, YOU HAVE TO USE GEAR THAT MATCHES YOUR CLAAAAASSSS

>>531683978
Classic case of zoomers needing to be told what to do and how to do it. They need something to grind otherwise they cannot play the game, there's just no reason to. They need pre-defined classes to know what their job is, and to know what to expect from other people, and if they're allowed to screech at them because they're playing the class wrong. Fucking grim.

Why are you even dropping there to begin with

>>531678590
leg meta. extra funny with the variable as a full magazine total shot atomizes the leg
the ass is also ao ne shot but good luck getting the charge off before it turns around, and good luck actually hitting the ass and not the ass plates with the massive spread.

>>531684182
what's the matter anon, you don't like trees blocking your stratagems, volcano plants, mud, and the complete inability to see anything?

So what's fucked about the Epoch? Do we have a concise list
>LOL LMAO weapon spread (acknowledged and should be fixed)
>apple bacon levels of demo force (they probably just copied the projectile of the plasma punisher as a starting point and forgot about the demo force mechanic entirely).
I think these two are objectively problems that need to be fixed.
>a non-linear increase of damage
>overcharge visual indicators that are not properly synced to the charge meter actually being overcharged
>the grace period before exploding is debateably too slow.
I think fixing these would be good quality of life fixes, but not absolutely necessary.
>overall ammo economy
I haven't used it enough yet to really say if there is a problem with the ammo economy or not. It's hard to tell with the shit spread making it impractical to target weak points.

Did I miss anything?

>>531684604
I'll massively spread your ass plates

When are they gonna let me hollow one of these guys out and wear it as heavy armor

How high does the charge go? I assume that there's additional damage to be had after the "glowy blue aura around the tip of the gun disappears" part, but how much?

>>531681643
>>531682835
He's just trying to fix the thing's damage. The explosion damage wasn't buffed alongside the big buff to heavy HP when the 60 day patch happened. They overlooked it because their damage system is needlessly complex, and the dumb devs only listen to a "low sodium" plebbit where it is a bannable offense to report bugs.

Even if they fix the spread on the Epoch, it's still dogshit

>>531684825
>How high does the charge go? I assume that there's additional damage to be had after the "glowy blue aura around the tip of the gun disappears" part, but how much?
I'm moderately certain that the explosion just has too levels. Weak and strong. Strong mode kicks in a few moments AFTER the blue flash around the muzzle because ofcourse the obvious "i'm overcharged now" signal isn't actually synced with being overcharged. Don't you love bacon flavored apples?

OPS is less useful than a Quasar

>gatling sentry shoots at heavy devastator shield until it runs out of ammo and goes away

the end results are the same so it's kind of unfair to knock the laser cannon sentry for something that equally effects MG/gatling sentries

>>531685783
It definitely shows that they are a bunch of thin skinned pussies that are TERRIFIED of upsetting people with nerfs, so instead they're deliberately releasing shit so that they can be praised for buffs later.

I don't think masters of ceremony was as bad just for the fact that it didn't completely gut weapons it planned to release which required them to roll back the changes later (something they claimed would be nigh impossible for them to do). Ceremony having
>yet another identical function secondary melee weapon
>a support melee weapon (and coining the infamous "you need more?")
>a burst fire diligence with the cardinal sin of a burst fire weapon with a magazine capacity not divisible by its burst size

there were at least one or two solid picks in there. Pretty much everything maybe save the cookout was irredeemable for freedom's flame.

SKILL

ISSUE!!! XD!!!

>>531686136
you did not let it charge to 99,9999% you shitter :OOOOO bad skillz xDDDD

>>531685861
I think the issue is a big draw of the laser sentry is its theoretical infinite uptime but it suffers from the same problems as other sentries, and faster because the more it shoots the faster it kills itself. At least with the MG/gatling sentry, if it still has ammo, its still drawing enemies to it for the most part. The laser sentry will happily blow itself up shooting at a scavenger it can't hit.

>>531685720
The pyrotech grenade is extremely good. After the buffs, reinforced epaulletes isn't that bad either.

They still should fix the fucking flag. How hard would it be to just apply some kind of buff within a radius around it? You could give things like extra stamina regen and fluff it up as the helldivers being imbued with democratic fervor. You could have it apply an extra instance of the "Democracy protects" effect to anyone nearby. It can hasten the cooldown rates of other stratagems. That's just from me spitballing for a minute. This isn't hard.

nigger, grenades?

>>531687213
There isn't a single reason why the epoch shouldn't have comparable demo force to its peers. It can't even break a fucking chain link fence, but it can also twist a factory strider's armor into a tangled mess????

Epoch is complete shit and you're all coping.

>>531687213
present me with a single legitimate reason as to why a large plasma explosion from a support weapon shouldn't have any demolition force.
Come on, Sara, you can do it.

>>531687213
The juice isn't worth the squeeze
It either needs to get a way bigger AoE, removing the possibility of killing yourself or a massive damage increase.

>>531685869
They put themselves in a really retarded position where they're afraid of making things too strong so they want play conservative with shit, but they're also too afraid of nerfing shit now too so nothing is ever going to be brought down. The worst part is, I don't think they really understood or actually changed as much as they said they did following the 60 day plan shit. They say they're reevaluating what the players want vs what their original goals were, but it's clear they still want to nerf shit. Alexus was even seething about it in the d*scord about a week ago when someone asked for throwing knife buffs and he said it that it was "already unrealistic they can kill stuff the size of a large animal". You can really tell he's absolutely ITCHING to just nerf a bunch of shit to fulfil "muh milsim meatgrinder" fantasy shit again.

>>531683173

>>531689020
Works for me, take some distance away from the door. Sometimes you just cant enter the bunker with the warp pack unless you're on a specific distance.

Warp pack is just a straight upgrade to jump pack if you’re trying to be a sneaky fuck right? Going right through a wall and into cover instead of up and over is great

Looks like leaks are dead. Irons1ght is being a nigger and not explaining anything. Probably got upset people were spreading his stuff outside of their sekrit club. There's tons of rumors saying they fucking invited AH devs into the server or some other bullshit

>>531688790
assuming instant input and throwing, with max upgrades OPS has a 76.95 second cooldown and a 3.45 second call in time for a total recycle time of 80.4 seconds. a mission lasts 40 minutes. you can't call in stratagems after the timer hits 0 so we can't use the 2 minutes that the emergency extraction takes to arrive.
40 minutes is 2400 seconds, divided by 80.4 = 29.85
you can throw 29 OPS balls if you do nothing but call it on cooldown.

You're telling me the Spear's lock on used to be WORSE?

were we too mean to them in the past? is that why 90% of post launch content has been so bad? is this our punishment? do we deserve this?

Warp bag is best gem in game. Absolutely amazing. Wall? Just warp through. Enemies everywhere. Just warp. Long run. Just warp away. Warp warp warp.

But I have question. Dose tempeture affect laser sentry. Warpback and epoch?

LE EBIC STEAM MONOPOLY!!! XD!!!

gaellivare is in play

>>531688703
The throwing knives are completely fucking worthless. They should have just leaned into action movie bullshit and let the knives essentially magnetize and auto-aim to heads. I still don't think that I'd use them, but I think that there could be an argument for it if you could just casually whip them out and kill a couple of devastators/zerkers with some perfect action movie headshots.

There is plenty of room to make things harder. The bots practically deliberately miss their shots against us. But turning weapons into F-tier never use trash isn't the way to try to approach things.

>>531688790
Call in 500kg. 3.45 seconds flight time, 6.75 seconds cooldown.
Call in 500kg. 3.45 seconds flight time. 120 seconds reload.
That's 133.65 seconds. Let's round up to 140 because you aren't doing all that shit perfectly anyway, and each of those 140 seconds is two 500kg bombs.
Most missions are 40 minutes. That's 2,400 seconds. Divide 2,400 by 140 you get 17.whatever, double that because you get two bombs and you get 34.whatever. I don't think you can get 36 anyway, even if you do it frame perfect. 35 maybe.

>Claim autocannon is the pinnacle of balance and what everything is balanced around
That was hilarious. I'm pretty sure that they were just dogshit at the game when they said that (honestly they still are). But that statement shot themselves in the foot because they were too proud to admit that they were wrong and that their so called pinnacle of balance was actually the most powerful support weapon in the game at the time.

>>531689714
They dont play game themselves. If they do. It's sub 7 difficulty.
If they played regularly on 8, 9 and 10. They could see AT. Penetration and mix of chaff and big boys and their relation to difficulty.
Especially against bugs. There is seed in 8 that's harder than some seeds in 10. Because chaff overwhelms you and there is enough big boys to be threat.

>>531688790
>>531689785

>I HAVE A VAGINA!!!!!!!!!

>>531678427

https://files.catbox.moe/obaopa.mp4

I'm sorry but the Warp pack is clearly OP as fuck and needs a serious cooldown reduction

>>531690076
Yes. But you have to consider other eagles too. If you like strafing run. Now you need to considering those. Making 500kg down time longer.
Also there is that strangeness with how explosions from gems work. If you have noticed with biletitans and factory striders. If you land 500kg on their body. It dosent kill them. But if you land it on ground under them. It kills them.
Becouse explosions are cones upward from explosive. If you land on body. Most of explosions goes away from enemy. Ops on other hand function slightly differently because how demo force and damage radius works. Making it slightly more throw and forget.

>>531690548
Not really

>>531690631
Yup. Mobility it allows is insane. Fact that you can warp through walls and fast cd make it so powerful.
Last game I cleared 8 objectives alone with it. Just warp in and out. Rest of group didn't do anything. Before warp back. This would have been failed mission party. With it. Easy win.

Nah. Give it 30sec cd. Now you can use hellpods as weapon. It's also major buff to hellpod boosters.
Imagine kino of killing biletitan with flag hellpod. And flag pops out from it's corpse

>>531690548
It’s fine since it always have fixed distance when teleporting and you can’t teleport on top of buildings unlike jump packs that can be used to scale rocks, buildings and can traverse even larger distance if used correctly.

>>531690937
They should make the hellpod embed into big enemies but only for the flag

Projectile size is incorrect vs visual too. You notice it very easily in mega city. Where it blows mid air when firing from alleys and such. Becouse projectile hits corners and such suposed.
Fixing spread, projectile size and visual que for "perfect" charge is enough.

Buff EMS and Smoke to actually be worth putting into the thing.

>>531691539
Guaranteed 2 of either high explosive or mini nuke.

Apparently they're deleting iron-faggot leak discord.

Alexus didn't seem to love my idea of buffing the firebomb hellpods by making them all have the explosion of a ultimatum mininuke but at least the idea exists in his head now. I don't think firebomb hellpods will ever become a useful booster as long as it's more dangerous to the player than to the enemy and it doesn't feel very useful to throw on enemies. If that booster ever becomes insanely horrible/awesome, you can blame it on me.

>>531691494
>Swiss
So moortuguese

>>531691771
but I thought all of those coincidentally completely correct leaks were le fake? why would Arrowhead be worried about fake leaks that are fake? anons??

>>531691858
hes called so much shit for over a year at this point anons calling his shit fake are shitposting, at worst the texturing/renders he does is fake but those things do exist in the game in some form.

>>531691858
There's so many leaks from him that actually ended up in game, i don't know how people can say he's posting fake stuff kek. Sure, not EVERYTHING he leaked is in game (yet) but there's more than enough to believe he's not just making shit up.

>>531691092
Yeah that took a little to get used to. Slightly disappointed but not very, it still feels extremely good and that seems like a reasonable downside.

>>531691771
The other, older leak Discord has been much more useful and way more trustworthy with one-tenth of the drama and aggresive discordtroonism, since most people who joined back in the day were genuinely interested instead of being herded in by Ironshitter's e-celebism.

>>531692176
They say they're gonna close ALL leak discords. Not sure if its true or not. I could see them being mad at people leaking their shit before release every single time.

>>531692269
OK can just use other avenues that they can't do anything about
Discord is such a dogshit medium for posting leaks anyways
The thread interface is some of the worst UI I've ever seen

So, did some troons groom kids? Take your bets.

Almost certainly because of that

It's nuked. Rest in piss Ironfaggot you will not be missed.

>>531692680
Depends on what kinds of leaks. If it's just datamining the game files that are given to us when we install the game, then they really have no right to be mad, if they don't want those things "leaked" then they just shouldn't include them in the release build. Though I really doubt that this is the type of person to somehow obtain exclusive access to game files that the rest of us can't, it's far more likely that they want to feel like a super special snowflake for being able to unpack game files, and others already can do the same thing or it's easy to learn how.

>wait, i can make money by simply showing someone else's work to a bunch of retards?

>>531693802
They changed fucking everything for the worse in 4 especially elites then 5 doubled down on it

Halo ended with Reach and it'll never be good ever again

>>531693589
to be fair, he probably did most the work to make the 'leaks' look real. I mean all he had to go on was some text strings and models from over a year ago, and he managed to bait thousands of retards into following him, that takes genuine effort. Does his effort add value to anything other than his affiliate adbux? no. Is he out of stuff to leak because AH stopped putting stuff in the game files 9 months in advance? yes

>>531693982
What gave it away?
Was it 4 being dogshit while youtubers said it "was a fresh take"
Maybe it was 5 being even worse with those same youtube retards saying "some like halo 3, some like halo 4, five is a good balance"
Or maybe it was inifitne having no actual gameplay before release only for it to be.... the dogshit it was. I don't even have some pathetic insult for how sad that game was.

Fuck me halo 3 was peak, I loved reach even more, then it died.

Maybe he actually had a server emulator of some kind. Essentially halfway to pirated Helldivers, I guess.
That being said he often took very barebones shit, gave it a cosmetic touch-up and said it was leaked.
See his leaked Strider, the textures don't match because he had fake ones made.

An infinite ammo rack, allowing you to keep loading it so 1/2 people could stay on it and give the other 2/3 players an infinite supply of artillery, turn it into a potential long term objective you hold with turrets and stuff. Why not it would be fun.

Autistic themed run elemental power ranger lobby:
Each person picks a different element and equips it in every weapon/grenade/strat slot. Ideally fire guy armor is red/orange, gas green etc. but pick whatever is most appropriate /fa/. If there's not enough to complete the loadout (i.e. no gas primary) then try to pick something elemental that kind of fits. Probably run 1 mission of each faction and people can change roles between

Fire diver:
>torcher, crisper, incendiary
>orb nap, eagle nap, flamethrower, flame sentry, incen mines

Arc diver:
>blitzer, stun lance/baton, arc nades/urchins(lol)

bonus round
Wind diver: all explosives, minimal projectile dmg
>xbow, ultimatum/gp, HE/dynamite/impact/seeker
>orbital barrages, 500kg, airburst/gl, hellbomb, etc.

Metal diver: inverse to above, only pierce dmg nothing explosive. probably most boring since most guns fit this and it's just normal diving but for example:
>constitution, saber/axe, throwing knives
>railcannon, railgun, eagle cluster, airburst, etc.

Turbo memelords can probably fit smoke somewhere in one of those

He should be fired and blacklisted from the industry. Unfortunately Swedish labor laws probably protect him unless he rapes and murders someone, and even then they'd probably put him in house arrest for 3 days a week or some shit.

Throwing knives in action movies are way more effective than they are in real life. The protagonist always has supernatural aim with the things. You can lean into that since the game is more action movie than realism simulator. Here's how to fix the throwing knife.
>aiming is mechanically like the warrant, except hide the lockon overlay for muh immersion and have the lockon magnetize your attacks to headshots.
>your helldiver can now leverage headshot knives both for quiet sneaking and action movie excitement.

>i lose a shitter and he fucks off to do his own thing
how is that my loss? if you want to rule over a game then by all means let me help you with that

You know what I want?
I want a rifle version of this. Slightly better heat capacity, better aiming, more accuracy, slightly more oomph.
I keep using this baby because it can generally pick off everything that survives a full magazine of a carbine or breaker and it can even deal with devastators at range.
Hell, why not give the rifle version an optional chargeup so it's like a middleground between the talon and the quasar cannon.

>>531698730
Logically these things would exist in the weapon itself. But arrowheads thinks soldiers killing themselves is peak comedy

>>531688856
Obligatory

>>531698807
Well, yeah. The worst thing is that the same mechanic already exists in the railgun and it does have a (slightly) better sound indicator built in. So epoch is just dangerous for the memes.

flak cannon my beloved...

>>531699527
>sickle

I think you mean the scythe. That thing looks goofy as fuck.
>less ammo
The talon already has abyssmal ammo unless you shoot it sparingly, so I suspect theyd just give you a ton of spare heatsinks and expect you to go through them like normal magazines. Unless you have the range between you and the enemy to take your time, as Marksman weapons should

>>531698581
all they need to do is make the knife fly like it isn't being thrown by a sissy twink leandiver
i've seen children throw cutlery at higher speeds than the emaciated stim addict homos we play as

"why does the throwing knife do more than my fucking lance support weapon?"

>play Flak autocannon
>Be told this gun can fleshmobs in 3 shots

Explain this piece of shit weapon. Eruptor is an easy 3 shot but autocannon is a sack of shit.

>>531700209
Use the airburst launcher instead and set the fuse to the alternate type.

>>531699904
No I meant the sickle. It really doesn't need that enormous stock that clips into your arm, nor the weird scaffolding under the barrel. I much preferred the design it had in HD1.
Scythe looks sleek, shame it's not very good.

>>531700209
It has never taken me more than three shots to kill a fleshmob with the AC

I tried using HD2d arsenal and my game won't run with mods. I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue. It gives a critical error. I wanna use the arrow mod cause I need SCs

>>531700315
It's a fallout reference

>>531700209
you might be fusing off of trash voteless or other intervening targets, the solution for which would be mow them down first or to set your aim higher up on the fleshmob and hope it doesn't do that

>>531700537
if you're struggling with devs you can always just shoot their toes with the dominator or bring the plasma punisher to keep them stunlocked

>>531700457
Maybe that's why it's so jarring to me. Fallout's jank tech clashes with the sleek Helldivers aesthetic. I'd accept the underbarrel rail thingy, but that stock needs to go.

>>531700537
Controla playa?
If you're getting your ass handed to you just bring a sentry or two for the aditional firepower, you can't go wrong with a AC and/or Roctet sentry

>>531699562
it's great and you are bad

>>531700629
Yeah I just wanted to focus on getting good with headshots, the Diligence is so stable but it doesn't stagger and they tend to run at me

>replacing the retarded base audio with functional audio mods
>can actually hear shit now

>>531700537
Bots are honestly just a matter of fire power and chaff clear. Their chaff is usually more spread out than bugs, so you need something that will target them individually. (usually sentries or dogs). Cluster and other WIDE width strategems like even napalm orbital will kill a wide amount of them.

If you can kill the heavies, you just need to build to counter the chaff. Explosives also fuck devs up.

>>531700537
just take a AR with a lot of ammo per mag and tap fire their heads, once you get the hang of that you can start to get fancy with the Diligence

>>531700932
the enemy audio mods are incredible. the most mindboggling thing about them is that it's not new sounds made by the modder, they were all already there and he just adjusted the volume mixing.
also the better gun audio mod is downright orgasmic.

>>531700758

Huh I thought it did. Take the jar or the slugger then.

>use the mod that gives the Epoch a warning sound you can actually hear
>it becomes ten times better (unless it misses)

>>531700758
>>531701163
The lack of stagger is actually better for headshots since it doesn't send them reeling after every shot and instead lets you just shoot again.

>Teleporting through the vault door doesnt let you pick up items on the shelf unless the doors are open
Did they put out a hotfix?

>>531700629
>toes
devastator legs are AP2, go for the unarmored stomach or groin. If you're overwhelmed by heavy devastators, know that their backpack is AP2 and fatal. And the gun arms are unarmored and can be shot off easily, same with rocket devs' rocket pod.

You have to directly hit the Fleshmob with the flak rounds. Get a clean angle on it with no intervening Voteless, and it dies in 4 shots or less. It's just as strong against Overseers, two shots to kill and three shots max to kill a Warp Ship once you get a bead on the door.

Yea it has been, but not anymore. They changed it when they dropped the warp pack. Somebody asked them about it on discord and they said that using the pack to get the loot inside a bunker is intentional.

These are all "I have thousands of SC and nothing else to spend it on" territory. So I hope you're in that camp. There are much better Warbonds you could be buying, namely the new one. The Variable, Arc Grenades and Warp Pack are all good.

How are so many niggers already running around with the warp pack, it takes like 500 medals to get there and you can only stockpile 250. Are they all cheating? Or how do you grind 250 medals in a few hours?

2 words: Squids Blitz

Grab all the arty you have, grab thermite and ultimatum and use light medic armor Rush ships, throw arties and destroy as much as you can while also killing yourself. You can finish the mission under 3 minutes and with loading, thats about 4 minutes for 9 medals per mission.

>>531702687
Doesn't work on megacity bunkers.

>>531703035
Verdict actually sends the bullet to where you point it.

>>531702742
If it was customizable with a choke, it would probably be the best weapon against anything up to medium chaff at up to medium range. Baby would probably outclass the carbine.

>>531702742
It's good, it's just annoying that you have to futz around with keybinds to properly use its ammo switching mechanic

my only complaint so far with the warp pack is that while it can telefrag a heavy devastator, it cannot telefrag a brood commander without instantly killing you
how the fuck are those units not equivalent, what the FUCK do you mean, Arrowhead?

>>531704085
because brood commanders are large units and devastators are small units. try booping into a scout strider. not even a rocket strider, a scout strider.

>>531704172
the result is that there's nothing worth telefragging on bugs, though
warriors die to fucking light pen to the head, who cares, if it works on hiveguards who cares, those things just afk while the rest of the bugs die
can it telefrag overseers? if not the telefrag useless on two out of three factions

>>531704085
Brood commanders are too thick and juicy

>>531704263
look at your radar. large enemies are big dots, small enemies are small dots

>>531704085
because they only consider enemies either light or heavy, and brood/alpha commanders fall on the heavy side
if they were smart they'd make a medium category for those types of enemies but considering the spaghetti code they use they probably wouldn't be able to without breaking half the game

>>531703385
People think bolters are cool, and people with peak physique want to have something to use that benefits from their ergo.

Who else uses the variable to fast travel with heavy armor? Honestly get some disgusting range and mobility with this thing.

>>531702485
I'd say they're all about the same.

Truth Enforcers has the Reprimand, Unflinching armor and Loyalist. Dead Sprint also used to be considered a top tier booster.
Borderline Justice's stuff is all great except for the armor. The Deadeye is the best marksman rifle in the game bar none, the Talon is a very strong sidearm that fills its role admirably, the Hover Pack is great fun and the Dynamite is a great chaff clearer.
Force of Law is perhaps the weakest one, but I still like it. The Pacifier is very strong against the Predator Strain, the De-Escalator is very good fun, and the Urchin recently got a buff.

>>531704825
Dead sprint is still very strong on ayys with heavy armor. Not stopping when getting hit is massive against voteless.

So what happens when Arrowhead pull the plug on HD2? It's a live service game after all. This is why I find Stop Killing Games to be retarded

When that happens, AH will turn the galactic war into HD1 style with universal resets on wins and loss.

>This is why I find Stop Killing Games to be retarded

SKG doesn't apply on current games, retard. It only applies on future released games. It won't help current games but it'll help future games.

>>531705202
The least they can do is release server binaries so people can self-host a faux "server" for themselves and keep playing, better yet if it can be used to establish unofficial online servers.

>>531705202
>what are private servers
the current SKG hater must to be a crippling zoomer that can't function without playing the hottest slop of the market

>>531705202
Peer to peer connections so that you can still play with your friends?
Having every subfaction and planet type playable even if the Galactic War doesn't work anymore?
Functioning servers for whoever decides to stick around even if they stop releasing MOs and new content?

If you spend a bunch of money to play a cool multiplayer game, you shouldn't be forced to "give it back" to the people you bought it from and never be allowed to play it again.

>>531705202
Sir, this is the Copedivers General, /v/ is two streets down.

Anyone feel like thermites aren't good because they're overpowered, they're good due to slight necessity?

>So many city maps fuck over reds
>New enemies like flesh pounds and war striders, a long with tanky enemies like behemoths and factory striders are only reliably killed with thermite
>Squids ships are just throw and forget with thermite
>Devs wonder why everyone uses nothing but thermite.

I dont even like using thermite, but I tend to fall into either-
Thermite
Urchins
Impacts.

And I only warrant the other two when I have something solid for AT. Maybe if the other options performed better they'd be more valuable.

>>531697771
It would be cool if there was a console on your ship where you could view these feeds and the stats. I fucking hate companion apps and sites. I want to view all the information in the actual game.

So, is it smarter to do normal missions for liberation/defense progress, or to focus on megacities?

Yep, peak cinema. Only a fag would rate this based on usefulness. The experience is worth it.

>>531705202
Patch the game so you can dive on any planet and move saves (your progress, warbonds etc.) to local storage, that's literally all you have to do.
The game is already Peer to Peer, the only reason there are central servers is for galactic war.
Of course, the reason why they implemented central servers isn't for the user, the only thing you lose is the lackluster galactic war, the real reason is to make sure nobody can cheat in their currency for maximum jewing, because making a purchasable currency which obscures a fixed price is way more profitable than making DLCs that get discounts with time and let people know exactly how much everything costs and give you no psychological tricks associated with currency packs giving you some made up increased value.

Not only did you not actually read anything about SKG, you can't even conceptualize how a P2P game relying on central servers purely out of greed can function just on the fucking P2P aspect.
This is why I find you retarded.

>>531706002
While correct, that doesn't answer my question.

>>531705202
>piratesoftware is tired from not writing for his game for 8 years and getting shit on because he was just qa and didn't actually work for blizzard so now he has to spam threads on a lithuanian animation forum

>>531702431
Since this patch broke just about everything I actually made a switch, so far it's good. Auto-purge and adding multiple files at once makes it appear much better than HD2MM.

>>531706114
your individual contribution does not matter enough to merit this level of deliberation.

anon, stop talking about random shit if you don't know the answer

>>531706198
>>531702954

>>531702542

I hate war striders. Not because they are OP or something because with any AT and more than 10iq they are easy to kill. it's just that its yet another bot enemy type that AH added that can ragdoll players. why every enemy in this dogshit faction can turn player into fucking pinball.

>>531706329
suck my dick nigger

>>531706318
I understood the answer just fine.

>>531706357
I like them because grenade volleys are kino

>>531705819
Megacities don't add to the main liberation/defense until completed, and they take more work to defend than you get back for liberating/defending them. Normal missions are better.

>>531686136
i've seen this thing completely wiff point blank shots against large targets like hulks it's pretty embarrassing

>>531706357
Yeah, AH really has a weird fetish for taking control from you. These niggas only have ragdoll attacks with relatively low damage.
Also hate them because they make the LC worse by existing, even lasering the leg joint takes like 10 seconds

>>531706418
This, I'd actually like them more if they had an avoidant Ai and just carpet bombed you with nades from behind cover as their main form of attack.

>>531705919
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASED

>>531706693
That's just a bot impaler

>>531705919
Squids get mating pressed by me btw the way.

>>531706357
I only wish they made the grenade machinegun sound louder because it sounds kino when it goes thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk and shits out a million grenades. I would have also liked the war strider to have the tiger roar like ED from robo cop

are there enough people awake for D10 bots?

>>531706769
I'd enjoy Impalers a whole lot more if they dropped a rain of tiny exploding spores instead of the jank ass tentacles

Epoch is bad because it is chance-based whether your shot will land or not, alongside requiring edging your wiener for the maximum damage.

Every other support weapon has more consistent results, and constant results that dont fluctuate because today is friday and not morndas, will always be more reliable to bring along on a battlefield, instead of letting your life be in the hands of a random number generator.

The main fixes that I, anon of anon-ville, could imagine for the Epoch, is removing the retarded sway that makes you fire off-target, and add SOME df to the damn thing.

That being said, the swedes must hate the concept of plasma, as a miniature sun seems to be as strong as shooting a seemingly .338 round at something. Except the mini-sun cant break fences, cant blast open containers, and has a hard time hitting headshots on devastators.

Can the weapons in this warbond do some more fucking damage? This is pathetic, why would I ever use these pieces of shit?

>>531707125
Variable cleaves devs and zerks in half with they volley shot.

>>531706983
>the swedes must hate the concept of plasma
yeah. From plasma guns only Purifier is great, and loyalist is ok, everything else is dogshit.

>>531707252
...I like the scorcher

>>531707252
>the warbond weapons are better than the normal free warbond
they're employing hebrew tactics and yet nobody wants to point it out, because you too can pick up 10 pennies worth of money occasionally.

>>531707252
Scorcher is good but that thing inhales ammo to the point that a supply pack is pretty much mandatory
It's fucking retard that we can only carry like 4 extra of these tiny plasma batteries but something like 10 Liberator mags

>>531707176
Wow a whole mag to take out one enemy that usually comes in a pack of 5-8! Thank you Arrowhead!

>>531707252
purifier had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the realm of viability

>>531707395
>whole mag
That's the Total setting. Volley has 7 shots per mag.

illuminate feels scientifically engineered to be as annoying as fucking possible in ways that are not present in the other two factions

>>531706837
>I only wish they made the grenade machinegun sound louder
you're implaying that AH is capable of making audio changes that doesn't make the game worse

>>531707252
>Forgets his Scorcher

So I thought the Total fire mode of the Variable was supposed to destroy a chargers ass in a single shot. In my experience so far it takes two. Is there some sort of sweet spot I need to aim for?

>>531697516
ggs bros those were some real HELLdives

>>531707334
>>531707392
>>531707607
I went overboard with calling scorcher dogshit but as anon said, it's kinda useless without ammo backpack

>>531707640
Yeah, here

>>531707729
I think siege ready is enough, but yeah, the ammo is a problem.

>>531706983
Increase damage to 1000 AT1

Reduce spread

Reduce sway

There it’s fixed

so what's the likelihood we get 60 day patch work

>>531707729
personally i take it over the purifier bc charging shots sucks DICK
honestly disappointed that the epoch is just a scaled up purifier that's barely viable
i mean ffs did they really have to give it a stationary reload ontop of the dogshit ammo econ and gay ass railgun charge shit

>>531707856
*remove spread

>>531707782
my problem with siege ready is that AH still didn't added medium armor with that perk

>>531707760
did you just tell him to aim for the head with an ap2 weapon

Just used my medals to get the new Variable. I THINK IT SUCKS.

>>531707915
>that's barely viable
What the fuck is wrong with you losers, how can you be THIS shit at HD2?

It takes ONE or TWO shots at absolute MAXIMUM to kill ANYTHING in the game with the Epoch. Like holy fuck do you really need everything to be RR levels of broken to be good enough for you? Jesus no wonder this game has gone to shit and D10 is a fucking breeze you fags break under the smallest amount of threat like having to wait a few extra seconds to kill something.

>>531707947
apply loaded and cocked (hehe, cock) weapon to your head, pull trigger (safety always off)

I'm telling xer to kill zerself, idiot.

>>531708017
TRUTH NVKE, I also think the Variable sucks. Need ergo buff

>>531707465
I made a mistake on that part and I'll admit that. I still think for the damage you're much better off with the other light pen rifles.

>>531708048
that's not even the right way to shoot yourself dipshit

>>531707760
Damn bro that's not very nice, I was just asking a simple question.

Variable should be medium pen

>>531708238
.t console player

>>531708047
yea lemme just jerk my shit to the edge every time i wanna kill something
better take a knee every 3 shots too
it's gay
I DUN LIKE THIS WEAPON
however i am a plasma caster fag and i WILL run it every game bc it looks cool

>>531708238
it should be medium pen only when you change it to volley and total

>>531703305
I thought the dcs needs two taps on overseer heads

>>531708017
The alternate firing modes have some usage in specific scenarios, otherwise, its just a liberator with some extra ammo
300 RPM makes no sense, the default RPM is meh, and the maximum feels like it shouldve been the default.
The RPM also gets reset each time you respawn, same issue the Tendie-rizer has.

If you want the Liberator that can act like a pseudo-shotgun, its fine. And, well, not having to do a complete tactical reload, since you just shove the magazine into the gun and call it a day.

>>531708361
Lower the difficulty. You're not made for D10.

From what i've tested, the Epoch will destroy a Factory Strider if you hit 4 fully charged shots in the eye / that little slit where the eye is. For some reason it doesn't get any hitmarkers if it doesn't directly impact that zone.

>>531708238
attaching a frog or chad image to your post wont make your dogshit opinion any better

HD2 is actually the peak example of a good live service game.
>Can grind premium currency in-game
>Half the content is just free updates, the other half is paid DLC
>Updates are consistently every 30-60 days
>Can always play with anyone, no segregation based on purchases, can even use any gear you want as long as someone dies/drops it for you

Meanwhile I look at other games I've played recently and its a fucking mess
>Dune has been destroyed by hackers to the point where they have simply been able to walk into your base and take everything, are duping infinite resources and speed hacking/infinite damage in the free-for-all end game area
>Nightreign was in a content drought from day 1 and has received a whopping 3 "new" bosses which are rehashes, no word on any new characters or actual real bosses, they have even started rehashing the rehashes because the other bosses are not ready yet (how hard is it to reskin something purple?)
>Destiny 2 just released their worst expansion ever, forcing an entire gear reset for all players every 6 months, it would be like your HD2 character getting reset to level 1 and all unlocks resetting every 6 months; its that bad
Its fucking bleak out there, HD2 is the only game I've consistently not felt fucked over from and its live service model is fine.

Variable should be medium pen

>>531709056

>warp pack is a dodge button that also lets you cover good ground despite wearing heavy armor
I can never take this off ever again. If they nerf it I'll just quit the game.

>>531706581
it's actually slightly faster lasering the war striders leg joints than it is lasering the heatsink of a tank. they are both 750 HP but the war strider is only 80% durable while the tank heatsink is 100%.

>>531709230
You wanna hear a joke? Dune, the always online MMORPG, has 0 server employees. No network guys, no engineers, nothing. They outsourced to China and hired Tencent to make the network component of the game.

Now guess which group seems to have infinite free access to the servers and is doing whatever they want, and selling in-game currency they dupe while blowing peoples bases up freely.

>people are defending planets?
>in MY railroaded game???

>Nothing new for DRG in awhile because the devs are working on the new game

>Starship Troopers getting the odd update but barely anyone plays it
Helldivers is the one that keeps me pretty consistently coming back.

>>531709771
Yeah, and Calypso was fucking minging.
We did defend it, but that also required what would be considered an unrealistic amount of players by the weekly standards.
Having what feels like 180k players or so log in to defend a planet from one invasion is one thing.
Having 40k retards and the DSS try to defend one Level 40 planet, is another.

>people take hover pack to avoid pretty much only melee enemies
You forgot that they specifically coded hunters to be able to jump on you and hit you while using the hover pack, despite them not being able to do so when you're on a higher ground

>>531709771
Joel is clearly going for some retarded arc were the DSS gets destroyed, it's another scripted MO. We are going to lose all the DSS facilities and that will be the prelude to its destruction.
And afterwards we will spend six months of MOs on bulding the DSS2: Swedish boogaloo

remind me again - why the fuck are all our important facilities situated right next to the "giga nigga evil ass rape" sectors?
you cant argue "well the data transmissions might take a while" because any and all information we have is transmitted quasi-instantly through the super earth network, with only some select TRVTH retards filtering shit on super earth itself
you cant argue logistics because super earth ships have FTL-warp drives that can cover several light years in mere seconds.
the only thing you can argue is super earth being legit retarded and the swedes pull more shit out of their ass than a constipated indian

>>531710556

>>531710773
its a decent alternative to other guns, it doesn't feel like you're fucking yourself over if you choose to use it over other guns

>level fucking fifty attack on Claorell
Goddamn, who pissed in Joel's breakfast?

>>531710773
7barrel can kill devs and zerkers with a volley shot to the hip weakspot, alongside allowing alpha damage shots in general. its nothing more but a liberator with that function.
laser turret sucks ass, and they shouldve given us the railgun turret from the 1st game instead of this crap.

Yes, it does. At the knife's edge of killing myself, and with massive spread, and with damage fall-off over 50 meters, and with a stationary reload with a shit two-stage, and gets cucked by bot armor, and with no demolition force.

>>531710432
that's not a dodge button, combined with light armor it's a "I want to be on the other side of the map where the enemies aren't even spawning so I can solo static spawns" button, and I'm going to start kicking it when I see it

>>531714305
I would abandon the mission if something like that happened to me

Apparently Alexus responded to someone showing off how bad the Epoch aim was and he agreed it was bad and not intended, so that might be something that gets fixed soon.

He also responded positive to my suggestion to reduce the call in time a little so you don't have to wait as long if it gets destroyed from being overcharged, I reasoned that it was a bit too punishing for new users trying to get used to its finicky sweet spot.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>531714323
Being prone doesnt prevent the tower from zapping your ass just because an enemy appeared on the completely opposite side of the tower while you're prone near it.
You could be standing south of it, a scavenger bug appears to the north, but because you're closer to the tower, it zaps your ass instead.
