>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.

robutt thread is cuter

>>532420571 (OP)
i want this thread to succeed

>>532420571 (OP)
This one.

>they keep using the word """believable""" to defend their dogshit decisions
>no auras for the one true flag because we don't want magic
>no demo force for the epoch because it's just hot gas
>no transmog because the armors need to look like they do the function
>they won't say "realism," because they already know that word gets you hitched to the back of a metaphorical truck and dragged through a proverbial desert with no chance of counterargument
cowards

>Run out of stims, bot drop right above me, no ammo, no support weapon, no grenades, just dive and run
>Get into an alleyway, pick up everything, call down every stratagem and start killing everything
>Still don't get excited about it because even if I died there would have been 20 reinforcements that no one else is even using
Setting a max of 4 reinforces would alleviate the difficulty issue desu

>went on vacation
>swedes still wont stop fucking with us with retarded discord replies and support answers

>>532421576
Have you considered playing a different game?

>>532421223
i want to believe the guy saying that the flag fucks with enemy AI.

>>532421576
one reinforce per player that regenerates each time they lose it, with the timer getting gradually longer for them the more they're reinforced

some survivability compensation before this would be nice, though, like no headshot damage and a reduction to oneshot potential through heavy armor and such

>>532421713
Don't forget Joel trying to fuck over the playerbase so no ground is gained.

>>532421713
>be on vacation
>Spend your time arguing with autists online
just like me fr fr.

>>532421576
Just go back to lobby after 4 deaths

>>532421881
Arrowhead will never do this because they think
>haha, look at funny man instant die
is HILARIOUS and a core component of this game

>>532421750
I wish the flag acted like a decoy where enemies would try to destroy it as if it were a sentry when planted.
Give it the EAT cooldown and it is a decent mix of meme weapon and slight utility, plus you get hellpods.

>no headshot damage
No
Headshots also applying the concussion effect, on the other hand...

>>532423212
kill yourself

Upboat

>>532423212
Reduced headshot damage but headshots giving you a concussion would be kino.

Fucking ACniggers ruin every thread I swear. Watch this one get shit up by ACsaars

I like the autocannon

>>532421223
"Muh believability" loses to V E R I S I M I L I T U D E

suspension of disbelief exists, it can and must be exploited, and things that defy it in the name of cloaked bullshit cope non-realism to defend maintaining course solely out of spite. Like large caliber plasma having no demo force when the low rungs of that stat currently amount to "can blow up flimsy obstacles" or "can fuck up the sensitive munitions, technomagical works, fragile tunnel support inner guts of an enemy spawner" violate VERISIMILITUDE which is more important than the swigger definition of REALISM or "BELIEVABILITY."

A huge ball of white hot plasma as fired by the plas-Punisher or charged Purifier or uncharged & charged Epoch can obviously melt a chainlink fence or tickle an ammo rich bot production line into secondary explosion, make a normally clockwork stable Illuminate fusion reactor suffer runaway criticality,or rattle the mouth of a bug tunnel into collapsing while fusing the earth into white hot shard prone glass slag that would prevent its immediate reopening. If conventional explosives/burst charge incendiaries/caustic gasses/sticky thermite bombs can do the job, the energy equivalent can and should. Two of these don't have 'muh mass' and one doesn't even have to get in the guts.

In fact verisimilitude IS believability, it is the source of it directly synonymous with realism, and stupid swiggers ignoring their entire playerbase screaming 'no that's stupid that doesn't make sense, my lying brain tells me what should've happened yet didn't' because of preconceived Swedo-Serbian fart huffing about what THEY think is 'believable' to the detriment of that verisimilitude as well as the actual gameplay itself, do so at their own peril. Their 'internal' 'consistency' flies in the face of everyone elses' external observation of internal consistency, and becomes itself inconsistency as a result.

collate /hdg/ effortposts, not lowsodium glaze you dumb swiggers

Is the jew Arrows mod working for the most recent patch? With the warp-pack being a thing i might just do it again.

>>532423212
I'm about it.

>>532424105
Ya there's a version that works

>>532424105
Yes but theres new version

SAAAAAAR REDEEM THE SC NOW SAAR

>>532424204
>>532424234
Can a white-skinned brother get a linkypoo?

>>532424440
Im takin shower but I will check back in previous threads for it once Im out

Lobby?

>>532412789
good diving retards

>>532424440
It's been posted a lot recently. Just do ctrl+f and catbox

>I'm going to pretend to enjoy headshot damage vs players because I'm a nerftroon contrarian
>in fact, I think it should be WORSE >;)
this is actually the worst one so far
if you actually, genuinely believed what you were saying then the notion that you actually have no taste for difficulty and just want to shitpost is 100% accurate

>>532424440
Here >>532320810 seems like this is a link based on what it responds to

Why is there on retard obsessed with that Pirate Software fag in this general.

>NOOOOO ITS NOT FAIR THAT I CAN GET HEADSHOT
maybe take cover then retard

Alexus? More like AlekSUS

How about you eat shit and die nigger

For the context it was Kravchenko on 22nd and it's Davidsson today.

>>532426316
Huh, means the swiggers did something that reset the names of the shipboard NPCs. Btw congratulations on upgrading to an aryan shipmaster.

Racism will not be tolerated in this general.

>>532426426
So true xister, have you remembered to dilate your neovagina today?

>>532426094
From bugs?


>>532425791
Headshots suck, they mess up break points and basically make armor useless.

>nooo don't reward high skilled gameplay, don't punish mistakes, make everything easier, make everything simpler, make everything boring!
60days newfags really just don't like playing this game

What if they just added D11, 2 fortresses per map, heavy units can call in reinforcements, generally more endmies, puzzles REQUIRING all players to cooperate simultaneously i.e. activate 4 terminals at once

>getting randomly chunked for a huge amount of damage that you have no way of preventing is "high skilled gameplay" and "punishing mistakes"
you are so fucking stupid, holy shit

>>532427048
>, 2 fortresses per map
with the current mapgen, that'd render the map completely free of poi and with three outposts on average

>>532427057
>no way of preventing

>players are taking back Claorell?
>activate squid invasions
Why are they like this? You can bet there will be a bug invasion soon too

>>532427057
Be less obvious, please.

>>532427194
where's the button to make automaton machine gun spray not hit my head at random?
how about when a hunter flies at you?
>just don't take damage
that's not an argument for random spikes of damage from enemies rolling the fucking dice, retard

Based schizo retard

>>532427187
There's a fuck ton of space outside the mission area, lazy swiggers just won't increase the map size for some reason. I bet it would fix the snoozefest extractions too

>>532427354
What

>>532427482
Kill your enemies before they kill you
Get to cover before they kill you
Stim before they kill you
Kite the attacks before they kill you
Do all of these at the same time and you'll maybe become a half-decent player that doesn't die to every little thing

>>532427187
Just expand the mission area, easy. Emcoursges people to use mobility options too which are uncommon as of right now other thsn warp pack due to its combat purposes

>>532427354
Meds

>>532427482
Don't get hit. I run light armor & rarely get hit more than once a match
