>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.

I think it's pretty sad that the Warp Pack is the most game-shaking item we've had added to the game since release.

regarding Helldivers, it's Gucci that's engaged in this sudden anti-EDF D&C posting to distract from the fact he's a Portuguese-(((Sephardic))) animal from the Shazamcords shitting up /hdg/ with off topic garbage by his own admission, right? Helldivers btw

>>532819105
Turns out the only reason I was dying so much on bugs was a lack of heavy armor

>>532819105
The Variable is the best gun in the game.
The Epoch will be a good AT option after the buffs.
The grenade is good, but bugged and doesn't show kills properly.
Warp Pack is fun if you have zoomer brain, but it's the most boring item in the warbond because it turns an already easy game into an even easier one.

>Crossplay: OFF

>>532819371
I wouldn't call it boring, since the zipping around itself is pretty fun.

Maybe mandatory PSN linkage was actually a good idea, then I wouldn't have to deal with all the fucking room-temperature IQ pajeets in my lobbies.

>>532819105
>this item that fundamentally changes how we move through terrain was the biggest change to the game from everything just being shooty bang bang

go figure

Can we not mention gucciniggers FOR A SINGLE THREAD!?

>>532819512
It's really not, especially because the enemies can't keep up, which makes it extra boring.
You simply have zoomer brain and are easily impressed.

>>532819371
>Warp Pack is fun if you have zoomer brain, but it's the most boring item in the warbond because it turns an already easy game into an even easier one
I honestly get killed more with the warp-pack than without it

I-AHM----THA-LUH

How long would you (the poster yourself) last realistically if you were a Helldiver?
>either very long on a bot mission because I'm a skittish coward, or end up blowing myself up with a hellbomb backpack on bugs

>>532820023
Do I have a Helldiver's physique and stamina or my own? Because most people in here will probably run out of breath after less than a minute of jogging.

>let's design a new bot unit, what would be a good addition to automatons?
>more ragdoll spam and AT check?
>brilliant!
Hate swedeniggers so much it's unreal

>>532819578
that depends, can Gucci Niggers be put down like the dog he is and not make a post for any threads following?

>>532820151
Well, considering the tutorial, the Helldiver Training Course is just filtering people that arent athlethic enough or not fast enough to react to danger.
You have to consider all the other heavy shit you might be carrying, both your gun, your armor and your support weapon.
So...most people would probably trip and fall after a short duration of running.

>>532820023
Probably a good while. My headcannon is that helldivers realistically do basic bitch t3 missions, the T10 shit is the in cannon outlier that only extremely specialized veterans get sent to do.

>>532820023
up to a minute. I'd probably fumble my first reload under stress and get torn to shreds, or blown up.
Helldivers are fantastic at operating firearms and have the stamina befitting 50 generations long eugenics research results, but their biggest asset is probably the fanaticism. They never flinch, or cower. Fully in control till the second they die.

>>532820918
>webm
It's called realism bud, that means only bad stuff happening to you and no other interactions

>By the time we capture the city we wouldve made no meaningful progress
So is this proof cities are a trap and should be told to fuck off?

>>532821241
I wasn't too surprised when I died there. I was trying to catch C4 to beg for stims.

>>532821518
Cities originally contributed progress spent on them to the planet as well, at least in part. Then they realized that actually let us capture or defend planets with less than 60% of the playerbase and said fuck you.

The original implementation was great, for all of three days.

post idea guy Warbond wishlists

>>532820023
Up until retirement.
Probably missing an arm or a leg, but I'd make it.
D10 missions only too.
I'm the top 0.1% of men born just to be genocidal warmachines monsters.
Being born in a peaceful era was my curse and plenty of other people's blessing.
>b-b-ut you are so cocky and you are wrong I will troll you
I'm a master of warfare, I'll just ignore you.
You've been saved from my wrath, be thankful. *sheathes saber & teleports away*

>>532821806
Laser Shotgun
Gatling Laser Support Weapon
Laser Grenade
New armor passive related to boosting laser weapons in some way, such as better cooldown or lower heat generation.

>>532821806
super sentai warbond

>>532822050
Saar I am being female and feeling very impressed by your machosism, yes. Please be putting in your credit card information so I may fly over to marry you.

>Pick HMG
>Real Helldiver nigga shoulder fires it at max RPM to destroy Factory Striders from below, dives out of the wreck then reloads it in a second and a half
>I'd probably die if I had to pick up that shit, let alone try shooting it
Guess I can just be a crutch green driver

>>532821806
Trench warbond

Green barbed wire strat: slows enemies that move over it
multiple artillery reds that have uses similar to fliers, but gain charges over time, up to their cap.
Trench Shotgun: Longer loading shotty than punisher that has heavy spread but rapid fire rate similar to breaker with no recoil.
Satchel charge: that make massive craters and can blow up several bug holes at once. Can one shot charges and hulks if you det them underneath them.
Mortar support weapon: functions like a mobile emplacement, and has a hud built arc to it. Can also be shot normally while carrying it, but takes much longer to reload.

>>532820918
>the terrain dead-zone bug is back
>the terminal freeze bug is back

>>532821806

They'll be padding out warbonds with weapon skins soon

>>532822245
Hey kitten. Sorry, but papa is busy right now. See you in-game.

>>532821806
A holdout warbond with desperate last-ditch weapons. Like a laser pistol secondary overclocked to the gills and made as cheaply as possible, or the disposable mg as a stratagem.
Armors that look battle-worn and barely held together, and a scavenger passive that gives you more ammo and stims from boxes/resupplies. The weapons can incentivize this by being very dangerous and very powerful, with a limited ammo pool.

>>532822736
The DoT bug is back
It's like the good old times!

>>532823020
>Armors that look battle-worn and barely held together
There's ONE (1) armor that I can think of that does that, and its the Steeled Veterans one that has bullet impacts and whatnot in it.
I wish they'd do more of that shit.

I want the battlefield damage being shown on our diver. I want my guy to look like he's been through hell and back, none of that "You got red on you:" shit.
I want my Helldiver to experience the horrors of war and come back from it.

>>532820372
>>532820151
Without game logic, even special forces guys would fucking die of exhaustation. The amount of movement and stuff Helldivers carry is insane. There's a reason why we don't wear fully enclosed helmets or useless armor for the wrist/lower legs

>>532823338
There's a bunch of scratched, broken and worn-out armors in the files
Guess how long they have been there

>>532819518
Being able to say gamer words is worth the occasional retard in my lobby. No one talks on mic anyways.

>>532821806
I hope this pattern continues. SEAF shit is a no brainer as well.

>>532820023
Just dive D1s until retirement.

>>532821806
Line of Defense Warbond, focused on holding ground against overwhelming odds and winning.

Armor passive: Steady Footing, 25% explosion resistance and requires double the stagger/push force to ragdoll. Recovery time from ragdoll state reduced by 30%. Medium and Heavy in the warbond, Light in the Superstore.

Primary: High capacity (as in, 65 rounds default, 45 rounds short mag, 85 rounds drum) assault rifle, with a "bipod" feature that halves recoil if there's a solid object/terrain directly underneath the weapon.

Throwable: Concertina Grenade, after a delay it deploys razor wire in a 4x2 meter area, which slows down and gradually damages all non-heavy enemies that path through it. Concertina wire can be destroyed by explosions.

Support weapon: Tactical Mine Launcher, requires ammo backpack but lets you deploy programmable mines (HE, anti-tank, incendiary) directly at the crosshair's location, they activate after about 5 seconds and automatically self-detonate after 120 seconds.

Stratagem: Heavy Roadblock, drops a pair of huge Dragon's Teeth to either side of the stratagem beacon, 3x3 meters wide and 4 meters tall, with a 3-meter gap between them. Stops everything but Bile Titans from walking over them, and creates a chokepoint between them that can be turned into an easy kill zone. Very low cooldown, around 120-150 seconds.

Booster: Solid Defense. While crouching or prone and not moving, players gain 20% increased resistance against all incoming damage.

>>532821806
ranger warbond
suppressor attachments
climber backpack
laser painter secondary that can place a stratagem ball anywhere in a 250m radius

>>532821806
Halo armor lock

>>532821806
medic warbond

>>532821806
ice warbond. with the cold shit. ice pick melee maybe idk. ice mines, icethrower, ice dog, frost barrage, eagle frost, frost turret, etc.

>>532824298
idiot nigger

>>532824564
why? would you prefer mech warbond or something?

>>532824685
Yeah, battlemech warbond

>>532824773
whyd you have to be so rude about it initially doe you couldve just recommended what u thought

>>532824849
cause it's funny

>>532821806
Heavy Machinery Warbond
Tanto (SMG sickle)
Energy Mech (twin linked laser cannon and quad sickle. has shit cooling and will start cooking your diver if you don't watch it)
Wrangler from TF2 as 2ndary, only works on the last turret you called in.
Supply Request Forms booster (turrets get 20% and vehicles 50% more ammo)
Armor Passive OSH Compliant. 50% impact damage resistance and turrets don't shoot if you're in the way.
Armor and vehicle skins have high vis reflective accents and hazard stripes

>>532822680
>multiple artillery reds that have uses similar to fliers, but gain charges over time, up to their cap.
Being able to call in an emergency fire mission would be kino levels so high they would melt swiggers like pic rel

>>532824912
this is just wax melting off a fake skull how is this creepy

You're just suggesting HD1 stuff. It's not a lack of ideas, it's a lack of effort. Swiggers don't want to work

>>532825058
It wasn't, are you stupid?

>>532824903
Laser SMG is gay but a Laser marksman rifle would be tits
Energy weapon mech sounds hilarious. Dominate snow maps with an infinite ammo mech before they nerf it.

>>532825256
ok tell me how these special effects were done then

>>532825312
>can't reading comprehension either
It wasn't CREEEPY, you fucking monkey.

>>532821806
Unironically >>532822123 complete with poses
Doing the poses as a team gives you a buff, losing team members gives you temporary huge buffs
I want MGO3's style of poses to return so that you can pair them up to make the whole team
I'd also throw my hat into the bin for a mining warbond like >>532823805 said and just use the guns from Metal Arms: Glitch in the System since it'd be cool to have guns that deal fat fucking limb damage and minimal primary damage that exist to tear enemies apart

>>532825098
>You're just suggesting HD1 stuff
Correct! I want my fucking satchel charges already. There's so much shit they could pull from they just don't care, all they have to do is put in the absolute bare minimum effort. Which in fairness is so little effort you'd be forgiven for thinking it looks like there's no effort at all.

>>532821806
REP-80

>>532825402
check your file name real quick for me

>>532825980
Honestly it just looks like the anon you're replying too wanted the gif, did a google search, and downloaded the first passable one to come by. Do you not have anything better to do?

>>532825980
>I was the monkey all along
My apologies, blame the website for the file name.

>>532823805
What if we got a booster that gave us an EAT on spawn with the SEAF warbond?

>>532820023
I'd get fucking slaughtered even back when I was in my prime. Only way I'm lasting is if I can settle for D1s or some shit.

>>532823548
A fully enclosed helmet allows them to pump in elevated oxygen & other mild combat enhancing drugs to your bloodstream

>>532823805
Expansion is the frontier/cowboy stuff
Humanity is the martyr/suicide stuff
Defense is the Ceremony/dress suit stuff

>>532827197
Oh, Joel's going to have so much egg on his face when he tries to throw the next MO at us and we ignore it to finish liberating Claorell.

>>532827197
>not wanting 24/7 bots on the moon kino
I won

>>532820023
i'd abuse the fuck out of sentries and exosuits
and then get too comfortable and die to my own machines

>>532827197
The liberation rate will go up once we take Majosyri

This mega shitty thing got stale pretty fast

>>532827197
City prog not contributing until its captured is the dumbest fucking thing imaginable. For how much Arrowhead loves "muh realism" they have no idea how enemy logistics work.

Can you 1shot an Impaler with an EAT to the face? I’ve been having a lot of trouble. I can do it consistently with the Variable or the RR for example but the EATs seem to take 2
