>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.

If they can't differentiate then how did they give me my 1000 super citizen bucks when I asked even if I have an extremely generic name?
I think you're just spreading misinformation and hearsay, not to mention SteamIDs exist and you can be manually banned from a game through Steam alone.
This doesn't mean they care enough to get anyone to handle bans for cheating in a PvE game or even any other kind of report because it takes effort and money, so it's better and cheaper to bury head in the sand.
>b-but they said they need PSN for everything
Yeah, no shit, people disliked it so they said that so SJWs and assorted people who give a shit about reports would be on board with mandatory PSN accounts.

Reminder that every derivative work of Starship Troopers that doesn't have any respect for the original novel will always be a paper thin creatively bankrupt piece of slop that will never be able to maintain itself in the long run. Same goes for derivatives of HP Lovecraft. The very people who convince themselves Heinlein was fascist and Lovecraft was racist are incapable of being even half as creative as either of those men and their work will never amount to anything but a gussied up rip-off.

>>533655464
Ok niggerman

>>533655450
Because you have to make a zendesk request to get the 1000SC, which requires you to link your account ID you fucking moron.

>>533655662
Imagine thinking a man who married a Jewish woman in 1924 was remarkably racist because of what he named his cat.

>>533655140

>>533655748
So they can use account IDs to do shit on your account. Why exactly would they have no access to them? Steam IDs are public and piss easy to utilize through APIs and if they have internal IDs they could use those too.
I mean, how do you think you keep your progress on your account? It's certainly not through names, since two people with same names can play Helldivers and not share an account. Local saves? Yeah, people wouldn't need to cheat then, just save edit themselves millions of SC.
There needs to exist an account ID of some sort, be it SteamID or internal game ID (and the two have to be linked, so every login from your SteamID points you to the right account) for basic fucking functions of the game. It's fucking hearsay and gross misunderstanding to assume that they cannot ban anyone because without PSN they cannot know the difference between two players with the same name.

So. I can customize primaries but I still can't save and retrieve loadouts.

l... lobby?

>>533656427
Here's your fucking source, now shut your fucking mouth already. This is Arrowhead we're talking about, these clowns are so incompetent, they need an entire fucking month to change ONE SINGLE VALUE on a gun to make it usuable. The PSN shit was literally the one way they had to ban accounts, if they had another way, you'd have seen at least a single message of someone getting the banhammer but it NEVER happened, nobody EVER got banned in this game.

Your own image refutes that they can't ban people. You are a monkey brain nigger, a stupid fucking retard, a shit-for-brains and keep repeating the same stupid hearsay that is blatantly wrong if anyone decides to think about it for more than 5 seconds.
You do not need to reply to save face, you are Anonymous. You can walk away with the knowledge that the only person aware of how immensely wrong you were is (You).

>>533657624
Oh yes, because a game dev of a successful multiplayer game is going to come out and say "Oh yeah by the way, we don't have any anticheat and no way to ban anyone, so pretty please don't cheat :("
I know someone who just spawned SC with resupplies and got 50k super credits on his account and still plays to this day, there is ZERO bans. Nobody EVER got banned in this game, please provide a single screenshot of a dude that got banned in this game.

>>533654234
The game being a satire about fascism isn't what fucked them over. Their obsession with it only being a silly gag and nothing else is what fucked them over.
The fact that the Federation of Super Earth is objectively exploitative, manipulative, and evil, and yet the fact that they're so adept at manipulating information ironically causes people like the Helldivers and other average citizens to simply believe they're doing the right thing, is genuinely an interesting premise for a universe.
Yet despite having a genuinely excellent foundation for something special, Arrowhead seems to barely give a shit about their so called passion project for no goddamn reason.

It seems reasonable to me that they would have the capability to ban people, but they just don't really seem to care to actually do anything. Even after the chinks instant completed that sample MO with cheating there still hasn't been a single confirmed instance of anyone getting banned.

Remember to bless your beams Helldivers.

>>533655464
I remember a youtuber trying to say lovecraft was racist while actually having read the stories and having to admit that the writings DIDN'T have racist themes because everyone was equally shitty and equally fallible. Then going full retard and saying that "Lovecraft wasn't very good at being racist despite being racist"

>>533657915
I don't have to, because my argument is not that they ban people, is that they can ban people. Being able to and doing something are two different things. Also, there are at least three separate posts on >R*ddit with people posting screenshots of being banned. Are they real? I don't know and don't care.

>>533658338
They already abandoned Helldivers 2. They sent all their good devs and all the money to their "new project".

>>533658740
Oh surprise surprise, those posts are specifically stating they got banned because they linked their PSN ACCOUNT. Which you DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYMORE.

>>533659026
Trust me, I'm aware.

>devs are coming back and will fix the game!
Yeah, and they will take another week to drop an update that breaks even more shit kek
Expect another 2 weeks of brokendivers at the very least

they can manually ban people if they get manually reported. They can't automatically ban people or accept ban reports through in-game menus unless they have PSN accounts.

>>533658338
>objectively exploitative,
That's Automatons.
>manipulative,
That's Illuminate.
>and evil,
That's Terminids.
Super Earth did nothing wrong and you literally have no proof they ever did.

>>533658338
They really need to/should have hired writers with the money from the games explosion to expand on lore in and out of game.
New ads on tv, less vague orders, expanding what certain parts of the government do, etc.
This could even help guiding the war if automatons or illuminate want to destroy parts of Super Earth that are NOT directly helping the war effort, e.i. not science labs and special production planets.

>>533657020
Killing those who want to kill you is self defense.

>>533659073
No, they don't. One of these is literally a guy buying game on Steam, getting banned without linking his PSN so he refunds the game and goes to play on his PayStation.

>>533658338
>they're so adept at manipulating information ironically causes people like the Helldivers and other average citizens to simply believe they're doing the right thing
They are surrounded by advanced alien squids that use mind control and experiments to turn them into voteless and fleshmobs, terminator bots that put civilians in blenders or execute them with chainsaws and giant man eating bugs
No matter how evil the SE government is they are objectively doing the right thing protecting their citizens

>>533659275
>and evil,
>That's Terminids.

Ok

>>533659234
Okay and how do you find out which "John Helldiver" profile on steam (5784 results btw) am I then?

>>533659440
Mind sharing the link? I wouldn't be surprised if it's due to that whole thing where sony banned like 150 countries from playing the game due to their dumb ToS.

So, bugniggers, you have been unable to defend any of your planets. Care to explain? A skill issue, perhaps?

>>533659686
Your account ID. Which they need. They need it to track your SC balance.

>>533658834
genuinely what does the retard even mean by that?
steam IDs are already a thing and cannot be changed and they actively use steamworks for matchmaking, grouping, friends list etc
it's all there but they're too retarded to use it

And why exactly are they surrounded by these threats?

>>533660420

>>533659985
Probably for the same reason why the game can't display your steam friend list if your profile is on private or friends only, garbage swedish coding.

>>533660346
they look for the session you reported, you dummy.

>>533659556
This is what gets me when people argue the big human governments in 40k/Starship Troopers/Star Wars/Whatever are evil because vast majority of the time they're institutionally "evil" simply because they're forced to since they're either in perpetual war or preparing for one with beings that are actually evil and cannot be reasoned with.

>>533660602
Alright, please provide a screenshot of a dude that got banned without his PSN account linked then. Should be easy if it exists.

>>533658710
>and having to admit that the writings DIDN'T have racist themes
Literally the only thing that can be construed as a racist theme is the implicit fear of miscegenation with ancient fish mutants, and even that is tenuous at best.

>>533660513
So you have no idea.
Terminids were massive bugs that Super Earth decided to breed into massive death machines just so they produced a tiny bit more oil, and then sent them all across the galaxy to farms with as much tender love and care as a Chinese steel foundry.
Automatons were literally worked to death in arctic hellscape coal mines, and instead of treating their own citizens with the slightest shred of decency, Super Earth doubled down, crushed their revolt, and forced them into indentured slavery.
The Illuminate didn't want war, didn't use the WMDs that Super Earth lied about in order to steal their tech, and had their entire home planet scorched simply so Super Earth could swipe free shit after killing an entire sentient species.

Terminids wouldn't be a problem if Super Earth just killed them. Automatons wouldn't be a problem if Super Earth spent a tiny amount on space heaters and proper tools, and the Illuminate wouldn't be a problem if they didn't default to literal genocide. Super Earth doesn't love its citizens, they see them as expendible tools that the regularly dispose of without any care in the world. You are literally defending Super China.

>>533660790
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Helldiver's satire. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of politics and history most of the jokes will go over a typical player's head. There's also Arrowhead's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into the storytelling - Arrowhead's philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The smart fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Helldivers truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Arrowhead's catchphrase "A game for everyone is a game for no one," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Joel's genius unfolds itself on their screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Helldivers tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

>>533661832

Does China give a shit about the people that die in countless industrial accidents? Or do they view them as worthless and expendable as long as they die for a profit?

Cool argument. When's the last humanitarian atrocity your country committed? By your logic you're responsible for it.

I specifically said that the Helldivers and regular citizens of Super Earth are innocent of their governments wrongdoings due to being successfully kept in the dark so well that they are both clueless of the true events occurring, as well as unable to do anything to stop it.
In their eyes, they are simply selflessly defending their families and friends, and are objectively heroes because of it.

>>533662582
The problem is most helmets that would match an armor are just a shade off or have a finish and material that doesn't match.

>>533662608

All that and media literate faggots will still say "nooo don't do a slavery on criminals thats evil".

>>533658338
>The game being a satire about fascism isn't what fucked them over. Their obsession with it only being a silly gag and nothing else is what fucked them over.
I disagree, because they are one and the same. The definition of fascism is remarkably narrow, and Super Earth doesn't tick most of the boxes. Autocratic? Nope. Progressive Nationalistic Reformism? Nope. In fact, the only real aspect Super Earth shares with fascism is corporatism. The best joke is realizing the developers are guilty of doing something they're satirizing: Calling things fascist that don't even qualify.
>>533662627
Neither is yours. An argument consists of premises and a conclusion. Your assertions lack any aspect of an argument, so you won't get one in return.

>>533662451
>Your argument only makes sense if the opposing factions were not genociding innocent civilians.
Both sides can be in the wrong.
The Automatons want Super Earth demolished for their willingness to exploit and violate the rights and freedoms of their own people, BUT falsely point the blame at the common man for not siding with them in their gruesome quest to "dismantle inequality", leading them on an objectively genocidal quest against swaths of innocent people who haven't truly done anything wrong.

The Automatons were justified for war against Super Earth, but they are not in any way justified in the actions against the people therein, with the Illuminate being in a similar boat.

When are we getting melee options that have more range than a gust of wind?

>>533663117
Why are internet people so gross

>>533662979
So in that case, why there's no sight of anyone getting banned for anything that isn't tied to PSN accounts? Hell I bet the chinks that made up millions of samples to instantly complete a major order back then didn't even get anything.

To be fair you need to be pretty media literate to understand the need for Justice soon.

>Super Earth doesn't love its citizens, they see them as expendible tools that the regularly dispose of without any care in the world.
See this is where the problem is right here. You're operating on a presumption of intentional malice. There is no secret society of cackling evil maniacs. From the top of this culture to the bottom, almost all of them believe in the same absurd shit. The ones that don't get the bullet.

Someone thinks Helldivers are being used as expendable cannon fodder? They're disrespecting the institutionalized heroism that is Helldivers. Someone thinks colonists are being overworked? They're insulting the fastidious work ethic of those brave trailblazers. The whole population believes this psycho shit, not just the lower class.

>>533663704
I'm convinced that they have a shorter timer for calling reinforcements because i've had the same experience playing alone while waiting for players and letting just one scav live for a microsecond longer than it has to will immediately restart the meat grinder

I wouldn't say malice as much as it is apathy. Malice would be working their people to death because they hate them because they're evil. Apathy is being able to watch them suffer and freeze to death because you care more about your bottom line than you do about the lives of those you're supposed to protect. Megacorp ZOG kind of shit, a whole galactic empire controlled by people who couldn't care less about what happens to the common man.

I like to imagine Brasch was completely real and fought in the Galactic War. However he probably had the life expectancy in the field as the average Helldiver so every line from the training course and his show is just stuff they had him record on a tape recorder before his last deployment.

>Someone had to lay the foundation that led to the way things are now.
That's for sure, but they're also very dead by now. The Federation was founded some 170~ years before Helldivers 2. Over that time the control system was so firmly implemented that it's self-sustaining.

>>533665182
Requesting this but with Coretta Kelly.

Even D10 on the evacuate assets mission has 30-60 seconds of nothing happening between launches, and the waves seem to be smaller than breaches during regular missions. This is so boring. I remember when this mission went hard on D9, before D10 came out. What happened?

>>533664635
They're taking our fucking women
What the fuck do we do????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

>>533663117
did you fat finger a key?

>>533665418
What happens is that people used to hold the 2nd door instead of spawn killing enemies. If you let the chaff through the first doors without killing them, they'll call bug breaches/bot drops and this is when it gets really intense, but they will never call for breaches outside of that area.

>>533665418
IIRC it was when they fucked with eradicate to also come in waves instead of a constant stream of drops/breaches and it broke evac to be boring as shit but they never fixed it
Short missions need a rework so badly, they're fucking trash

>>533665228
>Over that time the control system was so firmly implemented that it's self-sustaining.
I'm willing to admit that this is a possibility, but there's nothing that really confirms either side. However, I will say that the idea that the government that pulled all the heinous shit 100 years ago, forgetting that they were the ones that made their archenemies what they are currently, and effectively falling for their own propaganda, would be hilariously ironic.

If you never let them breach the first row of doors they can never really do anything.
Bots can push through and keep pressure with range to hamper you gunning them down from the ramparts and can shoot back at turrets and eventually kill it, as can Squids.

If Arrowhead had any god damned sense that's how they would have written this entire story, but it's not. As you say, nothing confirms it because AH are committed to their "le fascism" interpretation and prefer it over anything more meaningful. It's why the story is spinning in place and will never go anywhere too. Imagine my horror when I realized this game's setting is only accidentally provocative.

>All propaganda has a direction. The quality of this direction determines whether propaganda has a positive or negative effect. Good propaganda does not need to lie, indeed it may not lie. It has no reason to fear the truth. It is a mistake to believe that the people cannot take the truth. They can. It is only a matter of presenting the truth to people in a way that they will be able to understand. A propaganda that lies proves that it has a bad cause. It cannot be successful in the long run. A good propaganda will always come along that serves a good cause.

Your first mistake is assuming that propaganda is always a complete lie. The NSDAP was a progressive organization from the start, made up of everything from Hitler's hardcore nationalists to the Strasserist socialists and Rohm whom everyone knew was a homosexual. That whole situation was more complicated than you will ever give it credit for, ironically because you've been fed propaganda about it yourself.

If you hold down whatever the button is to drop markers on the minimap. It will tell you the distance from you to your marker.
This is important because max throwing range is exactly 45 meters, and if you want to throw something anywhere with perfect precision you can use this or q to mark the spot. (Radar helps with marking over wall 380 throws).

You can also do this with throwing arm which is roughly +20 meters

I miss jumping into SoS' and crashing the lobby by planting the flag. That was fun.

I'm having trouble making a bug loadout I enjoy. I need the following:

>something that can stun/stagger multiple stalkers at the same time consistently with no splash, otherwise I'll harm myself when they're in my face (cookout, bushwhacker, non-AT support weapons, etc.)
>alternatively, does such high DPS that it doesn't need to stagger (lib carbine, breaker, scorcher, stalwart)

>something that can close an entire non-mega nest bug base worth of bugholes without help (explosive primary, frags + engineering kit, grenade pistol, AC/GL)

>mobbing light AND medium armor enemies, since commanders, hive guards, and often green spewers are so common. Feels like light pen is absolutely worthless on bugs aside from niche loadouts like Stalwart + Eruptor, which I'm tired of using since it was my go-to for so long

>solution to deal with chargers/impalers, and possibly BT (would be massive upside for doing all three, like the RR), usually thermites if my support weapon isn't dedicated AT

>solution to deal with BTs if what I need for mobbing + heavies doesn't deal with it (ultimatum, 500kg, railcannon orbital, etc.)

Fart drone, torcher, choice of EAT, epoch, quasar, grenade.
All you have to do is be aware of confused enemies slashing wildly but the drone is pretty good at keeping shit off of you so long as you know where enemies are and don't sit there and let them kill you.

>>533690047
demo force, the thing that determines whether a given weapon can damage any static construction at all, is a simple threshold with no additional tagging, and gas grenades have a demo force capable of destroying the interior of bug holes- makes sense, bugs panic and collapse the tunnel to seal against toxins, bot fabricators- makes sense, gas ingame is a highly caustic mix of mystery meme chemicals, production line devolves into secondary explosions, and squid dropships- makes sense, delicate void based squid technology goes supercritical from just a tickle

but this also due to swiggercode means that it can pop open shipping containers which have the same demo force threshold of 20 as the inside of enemy spawners- which doesn't make sense if it's the little primer bursting charge doing the job, but makes perfect sense if the gas is melting it.
>so why can't a giant ball of white hot plasma flash melt the shipping container if airborne super acid can?
because swiggerukroserbs are retards who need to be sent back to the surstromming mines and probably arbitrarily think it can't do all of the above described things to enemy spawners, which it totally logically can and should

Problem with this logic is that they supposedly tried to make a distinction between gas and acid, which is why it turned down suggestions to give gas temporary armor reduction effects. As retarded as it is, it really is just the primer being that powerful I guess.

Gas only starts confusing after the AI finishes their last attack command, basically.

ironically most of their faults were because they chased after realism instead of fun.

EG: look at hl1 compared to quake or any other shooter of that decade. It's very realistic, but the combat is extremely boring.
Same with hl2.

But then you look at shit like tf2 that used cartoonish logic because they wanted to get around the silly nature of the setting, and it helped them do things that otherwise would be stupid but make sense in the universe. They never said "hurr why does a rocket do the same damage as a scattergun point blank"

They're retarded, but it's mostly the game being bugged.
Honestly it's satisfying stunning things and piling up enemies before flinging a couple grenades to kill them all. Like stun builds are valid, but a lot of stun weapons just don't work right now.

If enemy engagement ranges were always between 50 and 150 meters, then yeah it could be handy, but the close-range nature of combat in this game just makes it so unfeasible. I don't even know if the "mortar targets pinged enemy" feature actually works properly.

Lower the difficulty

Why does every gun have all sights except the one you want for it?

>no 1.5x for Adjudicator, Tenderizer
>no 2x for Deadeye, Dominator, Diligence, Slugger
>no 4x for Scythe

It's not that you can only have 5 sight options either, some have all 6 for no particular reason, out of the 8 total. On top of that, of the options present the one you'd obviously want for that particular weapon is almost always the last one you unlock at level 22-24. Just makes no sense and it feels almost spiteful.

>>533701024

My friends started turretmaxxing from day 1. I thought they were being shitters for refusing to learn how to shoot, but maybe they were onto something.

>>533701172
It's really good on bots. Place it central to a couple POIs and it'll take out anything inside while also taking out patrols that come in. It can also take out cannon turrets if you manage to get the target thing to work. Haven't tried it on squids but I could actually see it be pretty decent with how much the patrols bunch up.

It's kinda like a soft napalm orbi, clears the chaff out in anything for you before you go in. It also ignores LOS which a lot of sentries fumble with.

>>533701207
don't forget that every enemy has an attack that slows you

>>533701172
Are you retarded? Theres lots of uses
You use it when youre getting overrun, or when storming a stronghold like a bot fortress or orbital cannon, it works like a personal walk barrage almost. and its also great for defense missions. You just need to stay away from the enemy— like, pretend that you have guns or something

It'd also give more power to weapons like spear and what not.
Like honestly, I wish we got the spore stuff more often like spore chargers were more present. It'd give more power to tools like rocket pods and rail cannon. While recoiless wouldn't be as powerful due to needing a clear LOS for headshots.

>>533702721

It's a Valve issue. Monolith managed to make "realistic" combat fun.

This whole discussion about realism is bullshit. Guns have to work consistently according to rules set by the game. If lasers set shit on fire, then any laser gun should do the same, explosions destroy things and bigger payloads make bigger booms. Anyway, AH is shit at balancing things. They can't make a single change to the railcannon strat just to see if a lower cooldown will incentivize people to use it more.

Ergonomics is probably hard coded to increase the speed at which a gun moves, so if you have sway the sway value increases the higher your ergo is.

because smarter AI isn't realistic to achieve or worth anything. Tuning numbers and the meta is easier to do and will actually impact the game.

Like one of the biggest modifiers to difficulty is the 25% cooldown mod.
And that's like changing one number slightly.

>>533710101
it would be easy to test this. find a gun that has the greatest swing between ergonomics values with the various attachemnts. record the sway with the highest ergo and then again with the lowest ergo and overlap the footage to see if there's a difference in how much the third person reticle moves.

There is truly no better feeling.

>>533718378
eruptor is really fun, honestly I just build around it like rockets, and a shit ton of chaff clear for lone stragglers.

What's the difference between the two firing mode for autocannon? And what's also a good primary? I haven't played since they introduced the weapons attachments/upgrades.

>>533718378
> X barrage

>>533718493
What do you normally run with the eruptor?

>>533718541
flak mode is proximity based and shits out shrapnel. in two cones perpendicular to the target. Other mode is base mode.
Flak is good for fliers on every faction taking them out pretty efficiently, but will proc on map geometry. Also amazing for flesh mobs.

Good primaries pretty subjective, almost everything these days is good. Eruptor feels amazing right now, ARs are hyper accurate with attachments, and drum mags are very satisfying.

>>533718541
APHET is for armored enemies/weakpoints, like shooting a hulk's face. Flak is for groups of enemies close together, shriekers and fleshmobs.

>>533718541
APHE zips through single medium targets without careful aim and damages most heavies with slightly more aim, has a tame splash area that does less collateral but likely won't do more than knock over a danger close teammates (you still should avoid doing that.) Flak turns chaff carpets into shrapnel riddled mulch and can do the same to the weak parts of mediums if you land it dead on instead of fusing early, potentially killing them even more effectively than APHE verging on being an auto eruptor, which is a potential hazard to friendlies.

>>533718974
Commando for ayys. Eats for bugs. Both with warp pack because it helps keep the spacing inbetween shots. Side arm is typically talon due to how it manages itself. I don't like using anything that wants to be used frequently, usually something that's very bursty so I can swap back to eruptor.

Eruptor will fuck up mediums but isn't perfect for chaff clear, so I usually use talon for any single targets. That and I'll use flame nades to make some breathing room.

Bots you don't have to worry about this so much, and I just bring whatever rocket I want. (I prioritize rockets because eruptor is equivallent to running any single target AP4 weapon in a lot of cases). That and it's single shot which again compliments eruptor well.

It's pretty flexibile outside that and I usually just fill with what the team needs.

>>533718974

looks to me ergonomics the opposite effect on sway. Higher ergonomics has less movement than lower ergonomics.
Webm depicts moving from a sprint to third person ADS over the same distance and with the same timing for the same stamina consumption and recovery time, and to show both moving and stationary sway.
Left is eruptor with iron sights and angled foregrip while wearing peak physique for a total effective ergonomics value of 65
Right is eruptor with 10x scope and vertical foregrip and no peak physique for a total effective ergonomics value of 11
They are then overlayed with the lower ergonomics at 33% opacity, appearing as the fainter third person reticle.

A difference of 54 ergonomics value between the two setups and the lower ergonomics setup appears to have significantly more vertical movement in the stationary sway than the higher ergonomics setup. The third person reticle stays closer to the center on the high ergonomics setup compared to the low ergonomics setup, which only makes sense as the higher ergonomics makes the weapon 'recover' faster from the sway induced movement like it does with recoil induced movement.

>>533721606
no it's pretty much a shitshoot made easier by there being no low terrain/foliage/corpses, sometimes you can sneak shells a mans' height right over a friendly with no problems and slam a bug commander or a dev in the soft bits, sometimes the fuse wants to go bang before anything is even in the killzone. But usually it plays nice enough to get in the midst of something you want shrapnel'd.

good games gents

So I guess the playerbase finally discovered why these fucking things are so inconsistent. Sometimes they charge you, spawn enemies, and are generally a menace. Most of the time they just exist and seemingly lose the will to live.

Turns out their AI literally ceases to exist unless they're engaged with the lobby host. Specifically engaged with the host, because the host just being nearby doesn't do anything. If the Alpha Commander is trying to kill any player but the host, his AI breaks and he just walks off in a random direction until he despawns. He doesn't attack, spawn enemies, or anything. If he's targeting the host, he'll actually start spawning endless waves of alpha warriors.
10 months of thinking /hdg/ was trying to gaslight me about this enemy. I guess it was just solodivers insisting that they've been fine?


How does this even happen?

>>533723116
anon you fucking boomed me

>>533722757
Specifically what i mean is that they can't realistically give them mech syndrome. "Erm, its a lightly armored weapons platform actually :^)" logic doesn't work for a fucking tank. In other words there's no way to implement them in a way that isn't survivable (I.E. good). The concept of a vehicle stratagem that isn't a gimmick gives arrowhead conniptions. Sure, you could just make them die to bot turrets, but then what's even the point? Were never getting the tank.

>>533725117
idk what you're talking about, they seem fine to me

>>533725449
I don't think it could have been laid out any clearer but you do you

The thing about Helldivers 2 is that Super Earth is so incompetent and evil that we have by our sheer touch corrupted and tortured every other faction into being even more cruel in response to our unjustified aggression.
We're the good guys simply because we were so retarded we somehow made everyone else worse than us.

D10 (((Bugs))) in the ghetto

>>533729978
GG

>>533728532
Alright so what I've gathered from not just every single host-related bug, but the core gameplay issues that have been reported since launch...
is that AH designed this entire game under the assumption that players were always going to stick together, ala Helldivers 1. I assume all of their playtesting (however little that actually is) also has all the devs clumped together, never splitting up.
The whole game, from bugs to enemy design to simple spawning mechanics, it all assumes the players are within the same distance of each other as the original top down twinstick shooter. The moment everyone separates every single thing just fucking falls apart? And there's nothing to even remotely encourage players to stick together, so just about every single game is going to be a bug ridden mess.

>>533729117
>>533729482
>>533729845
When are you retards going to learn how megacities work?

>>533729117
Even if we take both cities we're still on track to lose the defense. Turns out that when you tell the player base to split three ways in a game that relies on 70% of the player base being in one place you force a loss.

>>533685585
Blitzer is my weaponfu
Ever since they added the Talon you no longer just casually get shit on by spewers

Basically just a slower shotgun with infinite ammo and stuns. Great for bugs and squids. Terrible on bots.

>>533730965
Explain what I'm missing.

>>533732268
Cities give a massive boost to liberation/defense. The bigger the city, the more liberation but they also take long
So in order from longest to take/biggest bonus from smallest to highest would go as such:
>Town
>City
>Megacity
However Arrowhead is lazy as hell and every single one uses the mega city layout like in super earth, the other difference is the fauna which can admittedly look very pretty.

>>533721243
he still plays with sub 150 pubs that drop barrages 20m from the team

>>533732158

>>533730965
The troonies here, on reddit, and the discord understand how the mega cities work, but are only small part of the player population. The blob of dad gamers, chinks, brownoids, and weedbrains do not. They press quickplay and that's it.

>>533732158
Kinda wish you'd just keel over and die by now.

>>533725402
my heroin fueled tin foil hat theory is this game wasn't even going to be helldivers at first, its so far removed from the staples of the first game that I'm inclined to believe the original team got moved to work on whatever the original prototype of HD2 was.
