>>533433504>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 Democracyโข. 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.

LICKING EAGLE-1's FEET EDITION
I enjoy the Epoch even though the spread is horrendous.
It'll be my favorite stratagem weapon once they fix that.
Younheard it here first! Beams are best
Alexus died for your sins
The game was better when the weapons were weaker and the enemies were stronger. The game is a boring cakewalk now.
>>533544368>Can only post one bug a dayFUCK- I don't know if the anon that made this reported the bug. But someone should just so they realize this shit.
The average D10 Blitz mission for any faction has exactly 0 SC spawns.
And swedes think this is fine btw.
>>533544996but saar they promised betterment for this situation only 6 months ago please let them cook, buy SCs so sar shams can pay more codevelopers
>>533544196true, the newfren lvl 2 we had yesterday could survive and thrive in d10

There's a fair chance someone already reported it but its worth a shot. You should use a /hdg/ link to make a ticket janny look at the thread
>>533544996I think it's stupid that the defense missions have like a handful of green samples when I feel they should be at least rares

So I bought Master of Ceremonies Warbond for the saber, but where's the stratagem that turns me into a dragon?
why can't I use the victory poses as emotes
>>533545960Melee weapons are fine. I don't know how you could make them any better. An option to throw them and pick them back up would be cool though
>>533546271Go solo D10 only using a sidearm & whatever strats you think will work. It's fun & its challenging
>>533546535but this is a co-op game. if I want a balls chafing solo challenge I'll go play returnal or assorted retro shit.
>>533546535NTA, but solo has gotten really fucking stale and easy as well, even with meme challenges the enemies just can't keep up anymore.
>>533502896Well--well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn terrain so the helldivers don't have to. I have driving skills; I am good at driving people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
>>533546535Its a co op game. Every other, popular co op game has a super hard mode. Why does the idea of HD2 having a true hard mode upset retards like you so much?
>>533547465its not inclusive bro what about stroke recovery divers, downs divers, 420blazeit divers, and femdivers
dont they deserve to feel like liberty's finest too?

>>533546481>I don't know how you could make them any betterfit a niche, better base damage.
Like compare pulling out a verdict to pulling out a sabre. One does 125 damage per bullet and instantly fries anything infront of you, not to mention what it does to shit far away. Saber does 110 damage without peak physique per swing. Verdict does this 3 times as fast as saber, while doing more damage.
Like honestly? I'd triple the damage bare minimum. If you're willing to risk hitting something in melee you should deal more damage. I'd remove the bonus from peak physique and pauldron armor. Give it like a bonus where it doesn't spend stamina and call it a day.
>>533547751worst thing is, Verdict isn't even a particularly "meta" or high dps secondary item. some divers never used it even once because you can cause a great deal more mayhem with one of the special secondaries. seeing what crazy shit a loyalist or grenade pistol can do really hammers in that melee has no selling point whatsoever beyond flavor, it's true.
>>533547465Yeah, difference is that those other games don't just make everything one-shot you and take a full minute to kill a single enemy in their hard mode.
>>533546138yes. you dont need extra mobility. most people have played thousands of hours in this game without it just fine.
>>533548420I like the warp pack, makes heavy armor not suck ass when it comes to movement speed, plus cucking the enemy by teleporting through walls is funny. Also free bunkers.
The edition where I say Justice soon and it's actually true this time (I hope).
>>533548716You're gonna be like Fallen Guardian poster on /dg/. He's been at it for almost a decade.

Managed Democracy calls for AIDS. Only you can answer, Helldiver.
>>533546709He said it was too easy, I gave him a way to male it harder.
>>533547465He didnt ask for a special "Hard Mode" he asked for the game to be harder. As in raising the floor, not the roof.
>>533549296That would cause severe damage to her internal parts

What drives one to behave like this?
I need a Warbond with chrome armor that buffs lasers. The first set is shiny silver chrome with some blue accents. The second is shiny gold chrome with black accents.
This way I can be shiny & gold & shooting golden beams of freedom at all the alien trash

Man, I like fighting squids and this is pretty sadge.
>>533550191Ritualposters are board culture, newfag. Avatarposting is kinda gay but ok if you're cool. AI sloppa posters deserve the gas chambers though.
I unironically like fighting squids, but I donโt like that the average squid lobby is full of solofags that drain reinforcements because squids punish solofagging the most
>>533550768>because squids punish solofagging the mostDo they? Other than fleshmobs which you can just gas and run.
>>533548114I think what drives me up the wall is that everything gets knocked back out of range for your second melee attack
>>533550486>newfagI've been here for 15 years now, I still feel the same disdain for ritualposters as I did back when I was an underageb& newfag. Avatarfags, ritualposters and tripniggers all are the same cancer, the kind of faggots you'd expect to find circlejerking on discord.
>>533550768No they don't? I'd argue squids are the easiest to solo against. Nothing really threatens you except harvesters.
Bots meanwhile have a ton of options to threaten a solofag, and predator strain bugs are probably the most threatening.
>bugniggers are losing both defenses instead of focusing on Gar Haren
Grim
>>533551016>>533551234I agree. Bots have turrets & mines, which if you aren't careful, one shot you completely. Bugs have stalkers & such. About the only thing that fucks up soloing squids is a tesla tower
make these weapons fun and interesting GO
>lib pen
>slugger
>peacemaker
>>533551016>>533551234The illuminate are the DPS check faction, and the factionโs enemy types are designed to work very well together. This naturally makes solofagging much more difficult to pull off compared to bugs and especially bots. Half the team fights the endless voteless hordes and fleshmobs protecting the overseers and harvesters that the other half of the team deals with.
>>533551769>This naturally makes solofagging much more difficult to pull off compared to bugs and especially botsHard disagree. The only enemies that threaten the solofag are elevated overseers because you cant outrun them in light armour.
>>533551738Slugger and peacemaker are fine
>>533550479Squids are too hard for the average quickplay retard. I hope the next MO is a squid one as we haven't fought them in a while.
>>533551769The problem is that the positioning and target priority knowledge required to not have a bad time with squids is often too much to ask of the average pubbie.
>>533551969I agree, but they are neither fun nor interesting right now. I want them to be fun and interesting.
How the fuck are we losing acamar now lol
>>533551738Slugger is godly on squids. I'd just make it one tap all medium chaff up close. Maybe up the durable damage too so it can two tap devs.
>lose this MO
>oops haha, looks like we won't be going to the gloom any time soon!
>>533550479blame AH for making a shitty faction that only like 6% of the playerbase enjoys
>>533551769they're a build check yeah.
You take gatling sentry, and machine gun sentry.
Take a high RPM primary with lots of bullets, and something that can snipe harvesters and sting rays. Flesh mobs you can ignore or shoot with your primary.
N that's about it.
>>533550768>>533551016>>533551234When youre alone once you get one or two overseers up on you they juggle and ragdoll lock you with the staff
>>533551913>Seeker grenadeSolved
>>533547751Of course guns are going to be better than melee weapons. The 'sell' of melee is a way to kill chaff while expending zero ammunition, except ammo is effectively infinite and plentiful because resupplies are on a short cooldown and enemies don't take much ammo as they used to.
The blob is split perfectly so that we lose both crimsica and gar haven. It doesn't matter as the railroad has to get to turing so Joel will just spam more attacks if any attacks fail.
>>533552537This + explosives for fleshmobs
For me? Itโs the eruptor, verdict/talon, arc thrower, hover pack, gas strike + machine gun sentry
>>533552407Bugnigfwrs are their own worst enemy. They dont even d I their own MOs
>>533552881I think the main issue is
>melee costs stims>limited to 4 stims>guns take bullets>have a butt load of mags
>>533552929How you killing harvestors? Eruptor shots?
>>533553013Gee, almost as two simultaneous level 50 defenses and a level 18 24-hour defense coming almost at the same time is physically impossible to deal with.
>>533553027They should just make it so you can walk at a normal pace while swinging. Retarded swedejank gives you a few seconds of walking when firing any weapon so with melee you stagger a bug out of range and it'll counterattack you before you can close the distance. You can always dive into said enemy but that makes you an easy target for other enemies.
>>533552929Yeah eruptor is stupid satisfying on ayys.
>>5335531422 MOs ago
>haha botniggers are losing planets to 3 simultaneous level 50 invasions!This MO
>noooo stop bullying bugniggers, defending against a level 18 invasion is too hard!Kek
>>533544939>I don't know if the anon that made this reported the bugI did
they said they were aware of DoTs not working but until now didn't know the circumstances
>>533553070Yup eruptor for fleshmobs and harvesters
Arc thrower for voteless + overseers, verdict/talon for doming stunned overseers, hover pack for dodging melee guys and maneuvering colonies easier, grenade can be whatever, I like pyrotech/incendiary
>>533553430no dipshit it's right next to Estanu
>>533553463Its the fault of bottrannies coming to the bugfront as MO tourists.
>>533553531Also honorable mention to the warrant for dealing with watchers and spamming in the general direction of overseers
Why do they keep having spore scavengers be spawned. I don't get it
>>533553982To reduce the number of heavy and medium enemies. Bugnigger MOs have to be as easy as possible.
Now that the dust has settled, is Joel a good GM?
>>533552192They are fun to use as they are now.
>>533544368Must be a range based culling issue that is mistakenly culling dot effects from only the host's perspective.
>>533554308lol, lmao even
>>533554308Absolutely not. Joel is the conductor of his railroad and the players barely influence anything. The liberation mechanics are also horribly implemented and require full understanding to play by its rules, which the average player has no understanding of.

>>533556928I see you are a connoisseur of classic hentai anime.
Reminder that you CAN have power fantasy with relatively fair difficulty. The devs (alexus) are just fucking stupid.
>>533558446words worth is the best hentai ever
>>533559140Its simply because this game relies on one shots to kill you because they want to double down on "le funny satire" instead of toning them down and letting enemies be more dangerous. Imagine if bots were more accurate because the game could actually wittle you down or burst you down because of bad positioning instead of your only death being from the random scout strider or cannon turret sniping you.
>>533559140Fair difficulty? You mean enemies that don't instantly turn you into red paste when they have spotted you for 0.1 seconds isn't "fair"??????

>>533557035>>533559140Do we know who led the design of the first batch of bug and bot enemies? Because the design is so clearly different from the illuminate and later additions to bugs and bots that i'm not sure the same people worked on these.
>>533559769Also, who tuned the original and buff patch TTKs? Because that person is nowhere near the balancing team right now.

Technical debt is rapidly accruing and 30 people apparently aren't enough to handle it.
>>533562436they already have your money. They don't actually care about the quality of the game or if you even play it. Their only incentive is to drip-feed content for the existing market and keep selling warbonds while spending as little money as possible maintaining the game.
>>533563774So normalfags ruined another thing I like?
>>533564108You really believe the game would still be updated to this day if the devs doubled down and there was 2000-5000 players left?
>Another bug planet under attack
now we will lose 3 planets.
>>533564281do you rike the war yet
>>533563774It's bizarre, to me, that very few videogame companies reinvest an ongoing project's revenue back into their ongoing project. I guess i can only hope for a copy cat to come out and do a slightly better job than "absolutely destroy their oen product".
>>533564281Bugniggers deserve a good stomping from Joel anyway. Useless retards that they are.
>>533564281It would be very funny if they also attacked Turing
>>533564260Yes, I firmly believe if the game hadn't sold a billion copies, if Piles hadn't fumbled the PSN shit and gotten demoted, if they only had maximum like 50k players, the main team that actually made the terms and bots, would have stayed assigned to the game and we'd have a higher quality game.
>>533565092No, Sony would've pulled the plug, cut their losses and focused on another game, remember, this was back when they fucked up every single live service shit they made, the biggest one being Concord.
>>533563261Maybe the xbox port will remedy some of the issues. I'd imagine to get the game running on series s would require cutting a ton of bloat and optimizing what they can.
Sony has a studio working on the port who's raison d'etre is porting games to other platforms. Since it's 100% a sony studio hopefully they would share what they've learned with AH or even work with them on future stuff (Mega-copium).
Ill be honest. I dont see why Joel is so obsessed with his "muh narrative" when theres no fucking way he can end the galactic war in a satisfying manner whether it ends with us winning or losing. Hes too inept.
Which makes all the "fixes" to liberation just come off as purely a power fantasy by some fag with an inferiority complex instead of letting the players decide how the war goes without him rigging it.
>>533565092And I firmly believe you're a moron.
See
>>533565329 for what would have actually happened.

>>533565447Devs have stated that as long as the game is being supported the war won't end. So it's really Joel trying to keep the playerbase invested in-between actual content drops with big story arcs.
He's still absolutely shit at his job though.
>>533564108pretty much.
>>533564496Their ideal consumer is someone who pre-ordered/bought at launch and only plays when there's a major event or release to drive up player metrics and social media hype. someone who buys every dlc to see the new stuff, convinces their friends it's worth getting, and then drops the game again until the next update. They don't cater to the players that play 20hrs/week and grind virtual currency drops, because they lose money when you consider all the post-launch support and maintenance costs that aren't being recouped with dlc purchases.

bro what if we designed a faction around being bulletsponges
and then add a flying super heavy nigga that snipes and ragdolls everyone from across the map
>>533565864That's the community's fault, players went "omg he is such a le epic troll" and it got to his head
>>533566686The bulletsponge design is fine
The issue is that they broke it with leviathans so now you still have to bring armor piercing weapons, and they keep nerfing/neglecting light pen high-dps weapons

>>533569012holy shitterrage
>>533569012It's very easy to snipe the eye from beyond gatling gun range
Are you on controller or something?
>>533568882they broke it when they fixed the stun buildup bug that made stun build up a bit too fast
somehow this bug that made a shity status effect slightly less worse was of higher priority to fix than enemies bugging through buildings, filesize bloat, random crashes or the tanking performance.
AHs priorites are clear: Clubbing weak playstyle to death is the most important thing in the world, fixing critical bugs is secondary.
That they went on vacation right after dropping a warbond and patch, when they have a history of warbonds and patches being bugged as fuck and needing fixes just goes to show how awful their planning skills are.
>>533569150I'm sure you're just begging to show us a video of you doing it on D10.
>>533569012you think cannon towers are hard to snipe with the rr, don't you?
>>533569501That's what I thought, you can't even do it. Don't worry, I'll wait, if you need time to do it I can wait for it.
>>533569012>he needs to be standing 10 meters from target to hit a weakpointno wonder you use RR
>Bugniggers spreading themselves so thin so to make zero progress on any fronts
>These are the people who said botchads are bad at the game
>>533569293I exclusively play on D10 and must have done it at least 50 times on Claorell alone during the last MO, it really isn't that hard to hit the big fucking red eye with a RR
>>533569652Let's hear your weapon of choice to take out factory striders by shooting the eye then.
>>533568882Yes, it's their fix for the status application bug. The old way the game ensured that status effects worked was by having each client and the host do the dice roll and report the result. This made it apply multiple times because, for some reason, they didn't put a stop of some kind that picked only one result. Now it seems like their fix is that the client machines never roll or report, so you're entirely reliant on the host's machine not to fuck up and the netcode to not send your roll to the shadow realm.

>>533569783So I guess you can show me then. Out of range of the gatling guns with the RR. You said it yourself, should be easy.
>>533561425the truth is reddit and /hdg/ are the minority and snoy cracked the whip and told AH to make a coop game 80% of the planet can play with their brains turned off.

This is genuinely baffling, I have never seen a game like this, you can't do fucking anything because "teehee it might work it might not, who knoooows~"
>>533575635brood commanders are large entities and should telefrag you if you warp into them, that's how it works. that you weren't getting telefragged means you were probably just barely missing their main body and hitting their legs or something, but now you're going directly into them and dying
>>533575635The warp has a small radius it damages things with that allows you to kill things without directly teleporting into them, which can even do things like vent Hulks. You were likely clipping them with the edge without actually warping into them.

>>533576767I honestly like the telefrag skillcheck, the real problem is that commanders don't really read as heavies to me, and probably shouldn't telefrag you to begin with.
>>533576767It's not bad design. It's you making assumptions & getting mad cause you were wrong. Hone your warping skill & calm down
>>533577286>the real problem is that commanders don't really read as heavies to meNeither do chicken striders, but that's the one that'll do it to you on bots.
Even worse is if you clip one of the missiles and detonate that, so it's basically just a guaranteed deathtrap

>>533577760It doesn't allow you. The warp pack has an AOE to it that's larger than your player model, meaning if you are good enough you can hit a big enemy with the AOE without exploding yourself.

>>533581219Because alpha commanders use the old enemy design, there is no ome singular answer.
Durable greatly reduces damage to everything but it's torso. It's legs have less durable, but transfer reduced damage to the body. A bolt hitting one of it's parts will transfer some of it's power to the part behind it due to the penetration slowdown mechanics. The explosion component of the crossbow will only deliver damage to it's main body. If the explosion detonates too far from it's main body, it will lose something like 35% of it's damage + lose damage from it's decay. And there's more, but i'm already tired of thinking about these.
The system is crazy complicated for what it aims to do, and like two thirds of it's complexity were removed for the new enemies, so I don't even know it it's worth understanding. I guess you want to hit it's main body with an angle that hit's it's head as it exits. Maybe?
>>533581128>furry lobbyyeesh
>>533581437It's because the game lack true waifu potential. We have SEAF girls & Eagle 1 & that's it. NOONE is attracted to the brown ship girls at all, so people need to find an outlet. So they pick the aliens we kill & waifu them.

How do you fix this? Without nerfing any player weapon damage.
I'm wondering if the gloom bile titans will be able to withstand AT.
I will never play illuminate.
Before the introduction of fleshmobs and leviathans, squids would get ~15% of players fighting against them. Nowadays they struggle to get 3%. These two enemies are so shit they completely killed that faction.
>>533583651>takes weeks to slowly liberate planet>everyone leaves because MO>planet goes back to 0%
>>533585460Any buff to their durability would have to be done while also lowering their spawns.
>>533580356Are we expecting it to drop with the xbox launch or somethin'?
>>533585460just need to add variants that arent as weak to AT, but also arent bullshit. Unironically, the concept behind fleshmobs (tanky but without armor) would work here. We need a variant that is covered in flesh rather than armor plates that we have to shred with light AP.

>>533597126I mean, getting the LC as a primary sounds good to me, although the downside of being forced into vitality and inflammable is a pretty big, unless you go for the full fire meme loadout.
>>533598779downside is that it's not necessarily for free you still gotta take supply pack. You're honestly playing it like it's a laser cannon. Like all you get out of it is that you could carry something like eats with it maybe for more heavy kill, while also having long range support with a las cannon- but at the same time you could just take eats and las cannon and get the same effect.
>>533599042upside is that if you aim good you get a great primary with unlimited ammo for low intensity encounters
this games red pill is accepting that all you need is light pen in the primary slot
>>533599173yea cause secondaries are always used on heavies. ive pieced that together and its only my second day playing
>>533599173they want you to take light pen in primary slot, and anything else is just meant to have a bunch of downsides for being pen 3.
Weirdly enough though, they're super big on pushing pen 3 on secondaries. And the combo works really well.

Just about the only times bugs can kill me is when they sneak up from behind with the bullshit silent sound mixing. I wish swiggers would have used a proper game engine instead of their derelict swigger engine they use out of hubris.
>>533599323Initial balancing was having secondaries be exactly like primaries but with shorter mags and faster fire rate so they were a stronger burst when panic switching. I very much prefer that design than what we have now.
>>533599414thought about reinstalling the sound mod, but I wanted to try it to see how bad it was for a good bit.
It's fucking awful, reinstalling it right now
>>533591357It's shit. That's what it is. Light pen weapons are good if they are agile tackdrivers can can just nail weakpoints or bottomless bullethoses like the sickle/stalwart. The variable is not egonomic enough to snappily pick off weakpoints and it doesn't have enough ammo to just go full faceroll bullethose.
So the pacificer is unironically bretty good on bugs. The low damage isn't an issue since most of them have peanut health and anything bigger gets stun locked and penned to death.
>>533599173Light pen is often better anyway. Higher damage, more ammo, better ergonomics, more attachments. You really only slot medium if you want your primary to do everything and have a highly specialized support weapon. Even then I'd argue the times you genuinely need something between light pen and AT is pretty minimal. Then again I usually don't run dedicated AT. It's AC/LC/HMG 90% of the time for me. I'll throw EATs in there if I feel like I'm gonna be lackin.
>Raise flag
>Some dumb fuck runs over there solo and calls it down immediately causing the area to become a clusterfuck
Every time
>>533599565Naw that's gay. You never run out of ammo unless you're playing poorly. Secondaries work best as a compliment to your primary, or a utility if your primary is a compliment to your support weapon.
EG: Taking Punisher + Grenade launcher (Keeps them out of your face), or taking breaker + talon (Lets you ping things when it's safe and keeps your kit ammo efficient).
For punisher + grenade launcher you could take something like ultimatum to have pocket heavy clear, or even stim pistol just cause you don't need much else. Hell verdict is still valid because you wouldn't have ap3.
It's satisfying just having a kit where every part of it is valuable and serves a utility.
>>533599565that design is never coming back anon
just embrace the 60 day plan and fuck around
>>533599784Now that I've farted around with getting my favorites up to 25, I need to run every primary on every faction for a while to really find out if there's some diamonds down there. I get the feeling the Pacifier will actually be one of them.
>>533591357It's a squid weapon
>no predditor strain
why even play
>>533591357it's what you take with peak physique when you're running something like autocannon or HMG. Just nice anti chaff when you need it. It's also stupid versatile. Like if you take it with reload armor it just shreds fleshmobs.
>>533595060It should have been variable ammo:
>Hollow point mode (default)The gun is basically a slightly worse verdict like this.
>Armor piercingDamage goes up and AP rises to 4. Consumes 2 bullets per shot. Basically a slightly worse senator in this state.
>High explosiveBasically fires something like an xbow bolt. Can close bugholes. Consumes 3 rounds per shot.
>but the weapon changing ammo types and consuming variable ammo amounts doesn't make sense.It makes as much sense as the RR lolrandumbly changing between HE and HEAT with the push of a button.
>go to play the MO
>check operations
>all of them have "evacuate high value asset" brick missions
NO. FUCK THIS MISSION TYPE. It's 20 fucking minutes of standing around doing nothing while maybe 2 bile titans spawn.
>>533544525Dont tell him about the eruptor
>>533544525it's stupid satisfying, just aiming into a crowd, doesn't matter what and just oblitterating everything in there.
>>533600793But the AOE radius is so pathetic that it isn't annihilating any crowd?
>>533600545I would suck it up if they gave xp and other shit equivalent to the big boi missions. It's just not even worth my time to sit there and scratch my ass for 20 minutes just to get nothing
>>533600924it kills enough in my experience when I over charge it. Like it might not kill everything but I usually just have another charge ready. Doesn't even matter what I'm hitting it's gonna be dead after the second shot.
It's like good mindless slop, might take it with EMS to try n clump more stuff up together for it.
>>533599042>but at the same time you could just take eats and las cannon and get the same effect.yeah but that doesn't cause me to scream the entire duration of the mission and get me with the biggest, fattest, yellowest 7000 shots fired on the score card at the end

nobody knows
>>533585460Heavies just aren't common enough. Unfortunately they won't fix this because reddit and /hdg/ has a melty about build variety if they can't run all light pen + stalwart while keeping all of the heavy spawns under control with thermite.
>>533606468There isn't a point. You'd be infinitely better choosing an armor that prevents death or increases your killing potential.
>>533606468It's an emergency function but you shouldn't be leaning on it like it's a guarantee. Do you throw yourself into every explosion just because you have democracy protects equipped?

But I dunno I think it's kinda fine, it's obnoxious playing with a recoiless fag that just kills shit instantly. Like I'll be coordinating with another dude to kill bile titans and it'll have a sliver of HP left. THOOMP

what the fuck
megacities are so ass
>>533607451Honestly all mega cities do is remind me how shit reds are compared to greens. I do think the natural chokes are cool, but man just feels like half my strategems are meaningless
>>533607451at this rate we need a big ass gamma radiation beam that can penetrate walls
Y'know, if I have something like spear or recoiless (and I'm not playing on bots) rail cannon is kinda okay honestly. But it's hard to say, because it feels like this game is being balanced by several different hands that don't know what the output of anything should be.
>>533585763>while also lowering their spawns.brother you can already practically count how many show up over the course of a D10 on a single hand
if you lower it any more you'll never see them
>>533544078 (OP)I want to like the AMR, but it's such a bad weapon that it feels like it's Break Action Shotgun tier (would work perfectly fine as a primary weapon, but too dogshit to be a proper support weapon).
What needs to be done to fix it?
>>533608609Depends on constellation. Sometimes you just get a gorillian of them if you run into the heavy parade one.
>>533608683Need more niche enemies that it can counter. I'd say it's fine honestly.
Great on bots, great on squids, bugs just need to have a unit that it can counter. Granted it's great when you wanna snipe shit while the bombardments are going off.
Honestly don't see the hate for it.
Has a very solid play style that doesn't step on any toes and can offer support fire in a lot of situations.
Why doesn't it work for you?
>>533585460Introduce whatever the bug equivalent to a Factory Strider is, since BTs are just supposed to be equivalent to tanks.
>>533609045>Bile titans>Die to one rocket to the face >Can die shooting their lower half>Factory striders>Die to one rocket to the face>Can be killed by shooting their lower half
Now lets see if anyone is stupid enough to try arguing game balance with the retard.

>>533610152The bridge is specifically designed with ventilation that makes Helldiver capes billow as inspirationally as possible.
>>533608683There is literally nothing wrong with it.
>>533599565dude they were fucking terrible you cannot honestly be saying you liked the state of the guns back then, even less so the secondaries

>>533608683I refuse to use it until it's given a third person reticle.
What are the actual practical differences between the AC sentry and the rocket sentry
I have like 800 hours and I still can't really feel any difference between the two
>>533610714In practice it's something like this:
>AC sentryhas higher DPS, but it wastes its ammo supply quickly because it can only fire in three shots bursts and it WILL send an entire 3 round burst at that pouncer over there.
Can enable trebuchet memes if you put stuff on it before it deploys.
>rocket sentryLower DPS but will more efficiently spread its ammo around.
Also it is supposed to more intelligently prioritize heavy targets, but enemy proximity seems to be more heavily important and enemy class is more like a tie breaker thing. Swede code things.
Both of them just shit the bed and give up if any enemies manage to get within melee range.

Bug diving in game and IRL... are you doing your part?
>>533608973Its ammo economy sucks, even for a backpack-less support weapon. Seven shots per mag, six spare mags, and each ammo box you pick up only replenishes one magazine. Which means that you're effectively reliant on either picking the Supply Backpack on every loadout with the AMR, or not being able to go off solo in any capacity due to the need to stick with the team for the Resupply (which, by the way, absolutely requires the Superior Packing Methodology upgrade).
In terms of damage, it isn't that much better than the Eruptor, which does half the direct damage per shot but more than makes up for it with explosive and shrapnel damage, all while taking up the primary weapon slot. That explosive damage also allows it to destroy spawners and break open cargo doors.
It feels kind of like using the pre-buff HMG. Yes, it is technically a weapon that can kill enemies, but with a bunch of drawbacks that make it so much worse than other support weapons. You would only ever pick it if you intentionally wanted the challenge of trying to succeed using something that's absolute dogshit. Of course, the AMR isn't actually as bad as old HMG, but it gives me a similar feeling.
>>533610714I feel the AC sentry has a tendency to waste ammo since it fires in 3 round bursts but aside from that I dunno
>>533610714The AC Sentry is designed for dealing with crowds of small and medium enemies, because the projectile speed is near-instant and the splash from the burst can hit multiple enemies at once, making it good for killing clusters of chaff. The Rocket Sentry is designed for killing heavies, which can't dodge its slower rockets.
>>533611276>Both of them just shit the bed and give up if any enemies manage to get within melee range.point defense claymores in the turret base would be a cool sample upgrade for this reason, one off fuck you canister shot for point defense deficits
>>533612042The AC sentry has better DPS for killing heavies.

Ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkkkkkk
Just got through the longest dive of my life.
Join a random. Fight some bugs on the tail end of a mission, only one bug nest left & then the evac, finish it out & stay with the group for the next one. Host chooses bots & we drop. I was still kitted for bugs & didnt realize but its not that bad. I start off going after bot forts. Entire team starts following me. Im used to half solodiving, half teaming up for the big stuff, but I've rarely ever been on a mission where the group stays together. We start slowly clearing the map. It's not hard but I start to notice some stuff.
No one else seems to know how to destroy bot fabricators. Some are shooting shotguns at it. Some are throwing grenades but not aiming for the windows. These guys are acting completely green. All they do is shoot the enemy & throw stratagems occasionally, but they don't know how to actually clear objectives. We're in a city so the mission is to blow up fuel silos & such. I call down a hellbomb & the lost little ducklings stay right next to it while I run off behind cover. No one else is calling down hellbombs either. I TK'd them THREE TIMES because they just sat there. It was uncanny. These guys were somewhere between 20th & 40th level. Im only 82nd myself, but what the hell? I destroyed EVERY FABRICATOR. I did EVERY OBJECTIVE. With a subobtimal kit too. These guys just shot the bots & would sporadically entrench themselves against random patrols instead of just ignoring them. Wildest experience I've had.
>>533613961I was waiting for the gotcha where you said they were seaf npcs and you were going schizo.
What difficulty ?
>>533614098D4. I was sample farming. If it was any harder I dont think I could have carried them

>>533614294PS5
Load out was my usual bug kit, built for having as much overwatch as possible to stem the swarm
Sickle (I've been leveling it up)
Grenade Pistol (for bugholes)
Seeker Grenades
Laser Cannon
Laser Orbital
Laser Turret
Laser Dog
For bots I usually run with mobility in mind using the Quasar to tackle fabs fast & at distance. I dont want to stick around or get into protracted fights
Scythe or Sickle
Talon
Seeker Grenades
Quasar
Laser Turret
Laser Orbital
Warp Pack/Jetpack
>>533611729I guess the ammo economy is kinda rough, could use a bump to make it better at killing mediums. Guess I've just usually run it with teammates or just have a full kit that it's never a problem.
Maybe I need to run it again, I remember it feeling better than HMG and I love the HMG. Like it was amazing on bots and squids. Maybe it's not as good as I remember.
>>533611729>>533615142You guys should just run energy weapons. You can say fuck you to ammo altogether. Be free. Embrace the beam.
>>533615651I like having talon but all the other energy weapons kinda suck in comparison.
>>533615784Scythe/Sickle does not suck if you know how to use them. We do need some new Laser primaries though.
>>533616026I'd kill for a Primary version of the Talon, and a Secondary version of the Sickle.
>>533615651I do, and it still doesn't solve the problem of a support weapon being weak and underused. The discussion was about how to make the weapon better so that the game is more enjoyable overall, not how to use a different weapon so that I can not have a bad experience.
A taser pistol or arc pistol would be cool. Taser shotgun would also be cool
>>533616184Sniper laser rifle
"Shotgun" laser that's just a beefed up Talon
Laser Machinegun Support
Laser grenade or mine, idk, just some kind of throwable
I want just a couple more laser primaries so it's not just beam or burst. I'd love another beefier beamer that had less cool down, more damage, but seeing the double edge just be a lousy gimmick weapon makes me think they don't know what to dol
>>533616332Arc pistol would be cool. There's almost enough arc stuff to get a full kit. I think an arc strategy that's just a gigajule lightning bolt from the sky would be badass.
>>533616184A laser DMR sounds like it would be interesting. A laser Redeemer would probably be a bit tricky to balance though.
>>533616332>Taser shotgunThat's literally the Halt.
>>533613961>These guys were somewhere between 20th & 40th level.how were they still that oblivious? 20 and especially 40 is well outside noob territory. inexperienced on the lower end sure, but surely they've seen at least 1 hellbomb by then
>>533616796Oh & to add. I think the laser slug gun should be called the Hammer. To feed the bot/commie themes. The sniper should be called the Lance
>>533617073I truly do not know. It really baffled me, if I could tell you I would
>>533608683increase magazine capacity by 30-70%
increase ergonomics by 20ish points
give it a third person reticle
tl;dr remove pointless limitations
there, AMR is now a perfect weapon, A+ or even S tier instead of a leading B one
it is THAT easy but not if you're on alexusvision
>>533608683a reticule and you could give it a specifically anti-armor super penetrative altfire to contrast with the altfire flak shell of the AC. Ammo economy things might be worth looking into, I wouldn't know because I snubbed the AMR for most of this time.
>>533616907>A laser DMR sounds like it would be interesting.No it would be shit like everything laser
>>533610592>I refuse to use it until it's given a third person reticle.It is insulting to STILL be the only weapon in the game without a third person reticle.
Any fears about it being too good with one or going against it's "identity" are ridiculous.
>>533619349>this weapon picked by 1% of the player base might become too powerfulwho the fuck thinks like this
>>533618646You have bad taste.
>>533616907>HaltSort of. I was.hpoing for more something like that irl taser shotgun that shoots shells loaded with miniature tasers.

>>533620291not only can anyone do this, there are tons of people that are much better at it than you and they still don't want to do it.
the fact that every long range primary comes with the convenience of sniping across the map without forcing you to ads makes AMR just such a sucker pick
it also has too much sway and vertical recoil, this gun is just a basket of muh realism even when it adds nothing compelling to the feel of the item

Man, I miss the times when this game used to spawn a fuckload of enemies that were all coming to kill you with proper accuracy and speed.
>>533624434You say that but I was doing city spores, I'd look around and there were like 16 alpha commanders and with em each like 16 warriors.
And they did that shit where they just kept attacking. Like I'd dive and theyd just chase me down meleeing me. Fucking horrifying. Think it's a bug.
>>533624758The patch I'm quoting used to have 32 alpha commanders and like 60 warriors on average per patrol in fucking solo, it was insane.
>hmm variable was pretty fun but my upgraded lib carbine just has dramatically better stats it can't be that much better right?
God.
Going back to my lvl 25 gear after using shitty primaries feels like so much whip lash. No wonder people bitch about the guns so much. How in the absolute fuck is this shit balanced.
>>533624846I think I remember a time when taking stalwart was mandatory. So it might be that era.
>>533624892>not liking the new worst ap2 option aka variable for its le fun total gimmickdon't let alexus and ohdough read this post
>>533624892Variable can one shot impalers and harvesters. And just because a gun isn't as good as the top tier choice doesn't mean it's bad.
>>533625108>isn't as good as the top tier choiceor the second tier choice
or the second to last tier choice
>>533624892Variable will remain in shit tier until it gets proper customization so I can compensate for its awful ergo
>>533625108It's got like 25 ergo though and a 4 second reload time with no tactical reload.
Like I get the full volley mode is pretty decent against impalers but is that really worth worse than base eruptor ergonomics?
The movement tech is pretty good at least. Just it's more like "why is it so hard to control" as a balance question I guess.
>>533625052>>533625181Not everything has to be S rank. I find it weird that some people just have to use the very best guns in the game when it doesn't even matter because the enemies are weaker than they've ever been before.
whats a good loadout for a solo bugs eradicate mission?
>>533625318Gas.
Lol that's all you need.
>>533625313>Not everything has to be S rank.Well we don't have to suffer unremarkable items that get overshadowed by shit we've been using since the start of 2024 either but here we are.
>>533624892an AI has made this post
>>533625318RR, tesla turret, gatling turret, MG turret. All the normal shitter bugs dies to the turrets and the heavies are dealt with the RR easily. Find a hill near the edge of the map and that forces spawns to only spawn in one direction instead of all around you. Then they are forced to push into you from controlled chokepoints. Bugs especially at absolutely dogshit at pushing uphill.
>>533625318incel breaker + sentries
sentries counter all bugs, just pair MG with rocket, everything on top is flavor
What's the point of the spray and pray when you can put a drum mag on the normal breaker?
>>533625984there is none. similar to guns in other categories the abomination that is s&p was born during a time when they believed they'd never do weapon customization. I recall a time when it couldn't reliably down shriekers. fuck. this game is such a mess.
>>533625984Different roles.
Breaker with drum is like a back up oh shit gun that clears chaff off you.
Breaker spray and pray is a nigh infinite ammo work horse.
If you're running solo or something spray and pray is a god send with the ammo. It's also got better ergo and recoil reduction.
Personally I like breaker tho currently because I like leading with my secondary
>>533626307Also just to add to my post.
I would argue that spray and pray is almost a direct upgrade to breaker, but breaker just feels better because it has better stagger. But you WILL notice the low mag economy on breaker.
Also fuck duck bill.
>>533616796If AH was smart, then they'd make the "high cooldown rate" heatsink also reduce/remove the spin-up delay when you start shooting a laser.
Laser guns that don't stagger are boring.
>>533620167>The laser weapons are all named after bladed weaponsAKSHUALLY, scythe, sickle, and trident are farming tools.
>>533626784Should have called the dagger the spade
>>533625318Gas mines, orbital gas, strafing run, gas nades, ultimatum, whatever primary you need to level up, whatever last stratagem you feel like bringing, heavy armor with gas res, vitality.
>>533627057>Heavy armorBring medium so you can dodge shit
No backpack and no support weapon is kino aesthetics.
Sadly, AT strats that aren't support weapons suck ass.
>>533626897Dagger wasn't in helldivers 1. They must've hired some new guy who couldn't see the trend when they were picking names for the laser pistol. Maybe it was Alexus.
>>533627176You are a retard.
Medium armor still takes damage from gas, and you just stand in the gas all the time. You don't need to dodge anything and heavy armor can still outrun basically anything.
>>533627191just bring EAT. it only occupies your slot until you find a target.
>>533627191I wish that someone at AH would just upgrade the OPS' explosive damage so near misses still meaningfully hurt tanks/chargers. It would take Alexus 3 years to notice the change.

>>533627191if the railcannon had a sensible cooldown (would give it 90 secs without upgrades) and rocket pods actually hit some decent breakpoints you could go zero blue with much more convenience
>>533626165Considering it fires birdshot that was realistic, it's barely better than a pellet air rifle.
The real question is why in their realism phase they decided to give a shotgun that exclusively fires fucking birdshot to a special forces unit.
>>533627378>>533627191I wish that they'd give us some new fucking reds. Right off the top of my head, I think the following would both see play:
>Precision napalm strikeIncase it wasn't obvious, it's orbital napalm. Except just one round that lands right where you aim.
>380mm burstworking name. Think 3-5 rounds of 380mm ammo fired in a quick burst within the radius of ~orbital gatling or maybe the radius of orbital airburst (the original airburst radius. Not the current LOLLMAO airburst radius).

>>533629768>putting it on a drop/breach>Congrats now you have to give up your position completely.Oh because you sit right under the dropships and right in the middle of the breaches when they happen?

Any faction, any mission, every time. Simple as.
>>533630047I remember bringing dominator as just a stunning tool against predator strain while using guard dog as my damage.
Works extremely well. Essentially just a weaker MG sentry following you constantly.
>>533630027>50 meters away is directly under the dropshipsHoly delulu
>>533630368Yes, you throw the barrages 50m away at least, if a breach happens right on the objective, you have to give up the position anyway, retard.
>>533630482>right on the objectiveNot what i said you moron.
Objective or not, a 380mm on top of a drop/breach is objectively hurting your damage output and survivabilty at the same time.
Unless you're a solo nigger.
If you're a solo nigger disregard all my arguments, you don't deserve anything.
