>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'm an MO diver but I holiday on bot d6 snow and moon planets. I pick the same support weapon as a low level shitter and backpack bitch with them for fun. I havent failed a mission in so long I'm wondering if its even possible without trying to.

>B-B-BUT THE PROCESSORS!!!
Show me ingame where theres a brain inside a bot.

>>534353314
Honestly, some of the concept art is fucking sick compared to what we got. Not just for bots, either. Go look at the concept art for the Helldiver mechs.

>>534353314
I still hold that the brain automaton art is for the return of the cyborgs.

>>534353314
The bots have lots of corpses at their outposts with the brain removed. Bots can also somehow be suppressed by gunfire and have marching chants. So, you know, you won't say bots DON'T have human brains... because of the implication.

The day is upon… the day of the 1800 RPM stalwart!!!

>>534354236
From what i can remember the bots basically put human brains in data scrapers to try and get any intel they can. The Bio-Processors secondary objective also implies that they use human corpses as biofuel of some kind in their manufacturing

>>534354236
>The bots have lots of corpses at their outposts with the brain removed.
No they dont.

>>534354236
If they needed a brain for every automaton they wouldn't have nearly enough. Add that to the fact that they leave heads and bodies on spikes all over the place, and the idea that they use human brains to make their soldiers just starts feeling stupid.

>you are helldropped into Tamriel

Which one you picking imperial? Keep in mind, you will NOT be receiving resupply

>>534355964
>Completely finite amount of ammo
Quasar, might not be the most versatile choice but if I can't get ammo back I best need not worry about ammo in the first place.

>>534354960
Whole sectors of the galactic map have been under automaton control for a while now. When considering just how many towns there potentially are and how most planets seem to have 2 or 3 massively sprawling megacities, I don't find it hard to believe if the automatons have a few tens of trillions of brains to use.
If all those brains were used in units to contribute to the war, then it's easy to see how they get such overwhelming numbers.

>>534356131
>Quasar
Good choice, if ammo wasn't an issue i'd take an HMG and set it to 450rpm for maximum 'ma duce

>>534355640
I want to make "changes to gameplay after release" a valid steam auto-return reason. Maybe then these devs will respect their audience.

>>534354960
I dunno why it is so hard for retards to understand that the automatons are not the cyborgs. Super Earth benefits more from calling the helldivers to action against an old enemy than a new enemy. There is no reason to "hide" who we are fighting, just like they didn't call the new illuminates something else.

>>534355964
>ywn fire a grenade launcher into an aldmeri garrison
Pain

>>534355964
If you're not getting a resupply, the only realistic options are the Arc Thrower, Quasar Cannon, and maybe the Laser Cannon if you're careful.

>>534356142
>If all those brains
>If
There's the issue. The brain starts to be irreversibly damaged in just minutes after death stops the heart from bringing fresh blood to the head, and any sort of severe head trauma would also render the brain worthless.
When looking at this problem it becomes obvious that the frontlines are a genuinely terrible place to try and gather fresh brains since it would have to be done exclusively during the middle of combat, which simply wouldn't work. That would reasonably mean that most of their harvesting would have to be done on POW in a clinical setting, yet that too is thrown on its head based on the fact that the Automatons actively target civilian noncombatants on megacities and kill them instead of trying to capture them.
This isn't even going into whether things like child, infant, or infirm brains are even able to be properly used, which would lower their supply pool even further.

Sorry, I'm not a writer at ArrowHead. I don't play selective realism games. There are implications they operate using a human brain, but never outright stated. So believe what you want. It's also totally possible they matrix the brains they do take for more processing power, so a bit of human personality bleeds into them or something, idk. Choose whatever headcanon you want.

>There are implications they operate using a human brain
There really aren't. Every sign points to the idea of the Automatons reusing human brains to be a statistically impossible logistic nightmare, and in a world where FTL travel and other sci-fi fuckery is commonplace, it makes far more sense for the Automatons to have simply created a sapient machine Ai that's capable of independent thought.

>>534354236
Obviously its a Starship Troopers reference you're not cultured enough to understand, little zoom-zoom.

>>534358906
It makes more sense that the automatons are controlled opposition. SE sends all the garbage they don’t want to waste time reeducating to body mod furry cyberstan and let things play themselves out. The “bot fleet” was the streamlining of the process after they learned from the illuminate how to properly reprogram people.
They get to test all of their garbage from both sides thereafter.

This magical duck wants (YOU) to sign up for your planetary SEAF Garrison!
(Permanent assignment to home planet not guaranteed or even likely)

>>534359345
The Cyborgs were just slave labor for Super Earth, and the Automatons were a 100 year passion project they drummed up to get their revenge despite being heavily outnumbered.
If anyone is controlled opposition it's the Terminids, since they can just let them out of their pens and grow out of control, then swoop in and kill them for a massive influx of E-710. Terminids give them a constant threat to wave around in everyone's faces, while also having something to gain from fighting them outside of just another enemy to rally the war machine against.

The Cyborgs managing to create fully sapient and autonomous Automatons that they still view as their equals despite them not being human in any way is already neat.
If you want to have a brain in a jar kind of thing going on, it would be more interesting and make more sense for them to specifically target important figures and extract their brains in specific so that they can be put in some sort of Matrix motherbrain back on Cyberstan to serve as both a depository of valuable stolen intel, and a partially biological super computer.

>>534367867
The SEAF don't act any different between fighting squids, bots, or bugs. If you want to try and make reason your way around this in a meta sense, then the reason Helldivers rarely drop on Illuminate planets is because the squids aren't attacking in any meaningful way, and the Leviathans are enough of a hassle that it's not worth the attrition.
An aversion to mowing down Voteless because they were previously human isn't the problem, and was never the problem.

>>534368341
Don't drink the squid milk

Is there a single loadout in this game you couldn't make work?
You'd basically have to bring zero ap strats like stalwart, smoke, ballistic shield backpack, and then get spammed by heavies.
Otherwise if you can do damage you just kite until you win.

>>534368532
but what if the squid has really big, luscious tiddies?

>>534368674
some enemies you can't kite. Namely
Bugs:
Stalkers, hunters, titans, alpha warriors(why) (killable with light AP)
Bots: Gunships (actually unkillable with light AP)
Squids: Flying overseers (killable with light AP)

Squid milk is good for you actually

>>534366331
The cyborgs in HD1 were even more human than the automatons are. If the cyborgs were anywhere from 25-75% human the Automatons are like less than 10. Brains and blood maybe.

>>534368674
better question is there a single tool that doesn't fit into a loadout and offer a niche.

Railcannon doesn't really offer anything and actively feels like a gimp in most loadouts.
Smoke for the most part doesn't really work for anything, in the few cases it would work like jammers you can't actually call it in.
A lot of the AP2 pistols are very hard to make work in a loadout, and taking them feels like a dead slot even if you need an ap2 secondary.

>>534368674
No.
I've tried anything in D10 solo for every faction with the pacifist loadouts and without using stealth, and you can just simply ignore enemies and do the objectives, or kill them if you get jumped, because even the weakest primary in the game is enough to kill anything that jumps you, and everything else can be dodged or tanked.

>Automatons slushing dead humans is a matrix reference

>>534365852
It does the opposite of dehumanize them, and makes going full brain in jar seem like an option to the lower tier citizens, when it’s not, because it hasn’t been state approved for them (yet)

>>534369138
>Brains and blood maybe.
You know that's another thing that makes it hard to believe that bots are running on human brains. Without any way to make new blood cells, regain nutrients, and cycle contaminants, every single bot would have to regularly undergo blood transfusions.

It doesn’t matter. Their doctrine is obscurantism. They won’t give the citizen a choice or chance to worry by exposing them to such knowledge. They might end up with the lowest level fag citizens cutting off their limbs and mailing themselves to cyberstan to live out their depraved furry fantasies. And that’s just the most extreme case of overtly comical possible troubles it may cause. Think of how confusing it might be to some little retard in equality on the sea to learn those tin cans used to be people and they’re inviting everyone into their commune.

You really REALLY dont know what kind of place Super Earth is.

>>534369186
Railcannon at the very least could have fit the "pocket heavy killer" niche before Thermites were buffed since thats still its strongest aspect by far, but I feel even these days the 110 Rocket Pods beat it out in that because not killing the heavy in one hit isn't as big of a downside on a multi-use low CD Eagle strat than it is on a one-and-done Orbital.

>>534376923
pretty useless for horde clear, but the high single target damage make it useful for tanks and heavies. Stationary reload + charge time leaves you rather vulnerable and your teammates will probably cap whatever you're aiming before you can shoot. Random spread and inability to cancel charge like the quasar are annoying but manageable. Pairs well with mobility backpacks, especially the warp pack. Overall fun to use and good when used right, but not the best at anti heavy or horde clear

>>534376923
It's a decent in-between of Quasar, Commando and EAT. It's the fact it has the power to kill Titans and Chargers swiftly with no backpack and with greater uptime than those other options.

That might be from me, persistently reminding the general populace that both Alexus and Joel deserve to be raped (sexually assaulted, brutalized, violated, forcibly sodomized) by roving packs of gorillas for their continued niggery.
They are niggers, in both body and spirit, born only to sow salt upon this Earth and ruin video games. I truly wish that if they were to ever read this message (preferable having it held up on a phone in front of them as they're being raped, of course) that they remember that balancing and making a game fun is as easy as just making it fun; that you do not need to lie, cheat, and steal; that you should not lie on the store page and game case that you allow players actions to 'count' in your war; and that you most certainly do NOT maintain your position as gamemaster when there are many others, likely far more qualified, whom could maintain or assist you in the work required.
They are niggers, they will die nigger deaths, they will be forgotten like niggers dying in the streets of Memphis.
We could've had something, until the niggers reared their heads and decided to take it away from us. God rest our souls, for our only final solution is a leak of the game's source code, and to not go the way of Starbound but to have something made of it.

Fixed it. Now you have to either aim, flank, or disarm it, much like a Factory strider.

>>534384562
it's more akin to a tank than a factory strider since it takes their spawn slot
the only thing they would need to do to make them comparable in weakpoints is lower the hip joint to 3 armour.
heatsink: 750 HP, 3 armour ,100% durability, 0% explosive DR
hip joint: 750 HP, 3 armour, 80% durability, 100% explosive DR

Why do nerftrannies ALWAYS have tranime or furry picture as their avatar alongside their dogshit takes?

>>534365852
Because they already claimed that the Automatons were unfeeling robots that are hostile because they cannot understand democracy. The brain fact was discovered after they put the propaganda into circulation, so it must be denied and suppressed at every turn because otherwise they'd have to admit they made a very small mistake based on incorrect information at the time.

I like it.
That doesn't mean I think it is strong, just that I think it is fun to use. It's ok against groups but not as good as a GL, it's good against hulks and stuff but not as good as dedicated anti tank. It's a decent compromise.

>>534386627
They don't want you to know this, but ever since they figured out the health benefits of squid milk several important government figures now have big busty overseers held captive specifically for milking.

>>534376923
Pretty decent and fun to use. Yea it's not as simple and effective as RR (mainly because RR has HE for some fucking reason) but it has very high ceiling of efficiency. Also, it's not that bad to help with some mob clears, especially medium. If medium enemies are clump up, like when they are in patrol or just spawn, it's nice to throw in few epoch shots that can clean multiple medium at once.

>>534353314
this, I'm tired of having cringe headcanon fan fiction forced upon me

It's admittedly a neat headcanon, but the issue is that it directly goes against to what we actually see in game, and that's what makes it cringe.

>>534388106
it's fucking stupid, because it implies that this whole time we've actually just been fighting cyborgs, instead of the cannon fodder toys that the actual cyborgs send to keep us busy

>>534388506

These are very obnoxious to kill with AP4, I kill maybe 2 or 3 per game that way if I'm bringing something like the AC. Just not worth the time/effort/ammo. 95% of the time it's better to either ignore or kill them with a thermite if you don't have AT. Also they punish you for placing your turret in an elevated position.

Can we get a compendium of game issues so that it can be looked at as a pseudo-bible instead of just complaints
Nothing like

but more like

>Thermite grenades still have low DoT and the fix was to just make the explosion deal 2000 damage

>>534391325
Thats not realistic, anon.

>>534391113
>>Plasma Punisher has no projectile damage
this is false and always has been false

>>534392342
Reminder they thought nerfing the arc thrower, sterilizer and stun lance was more important than fixing any of this

>>534392164
I didn't consent to having my damage blocked

>>534391676
They just do that sometimes if it's the one front leg
>>534391113
Here's another two examples:
First, the punisher plasma projectile is only AP2. The fact that you get a ricochet symbol when hitting a cannon tower heatsink means the projectile is making contact, which rules out the sometimes stated belief that the projectile is detonating too early.
Second, bile warriors have 325 main HP and are entirely explosion immune except for the main HP. The punisher plasma explosion only does 150 damage. If the projectile did no damage then these two shots would not be enough to kill the warrior as it should be left on 25 HP. That you can kill them in two direct shots is proof there is additional damage coming from the projectile.

Now, all this being said, getting limb breaks is sometimes inconsistent. It's not because the projectile isn't doing damage, though, it's most likely that the hitbox of the projectile is so large that it is inadvertently clipping other parts of the enemy before it can reach hitboxes that are further in or partially obscured, like the devastator head, or the warrior head when its claws are raised

>>Spawned AMRs have the intended ergonomic values while the ones in hellpods have worse.
This isn't true. Webm for proof. I used a mouse macro to achieve the same linear movement over the same distance and time for a called in AMR and an AMR I found spawned in on the map in a bunker. There is no visible difference in ergonomics.

How do people even come up with this stuff?

Are we getting a warbond this month or not

I can get Masters of Ceremony or the Cop one right now. Not crazy about either

>>534399779
Yeah. That too...

>>534399794
And just to prove that technique does show a difference, here's a comparison I made when people first noticed the DCS had worse ergos than it should, before weapon customization. The railgun and DCS should have had the same ergonomics at this point in time, but you can see the faint image of the railgun consistently move ahead of the DCS in the overlayed footage

>>534399794
>How do people even come up with this stuff?
It sounded true enough for you to do a test. That's just how great AH is.

>>534399914
Eh, might as well wait and see what they offer near the xbox launch.

>>534399794
sorry anon last version uncontrolled patch it was true and the patch before that it was reversed

>>534399794
im guessing someone picked up an AMR on the ground that came from a Peak Physique user unless that bug was fixed. I know that makes support weapons with much better Ergos or at least did if you had a PP user pick it up and drop it.

>>534399914
MoC is actually pretty decent now.

Why are bot players so bad at this game, why are bug players the only ones that can actually win?

>>534405504
On top of this. Ive been thinking, beyond Gloom planets for bugs & Fort Planets for bots, I guess we could have Shrine Planets for squids. I keep thinking it would be interesting to see ocean/water involved but that's not quite an option in helldivers right now. So maybe just keep it to weird architecture. Mega cities are now a normal thing so urban warfare is no longer squid exclusive. But I think lots of low walls to funnel voteless hordes through while stingrays & flying units shoot you would be cool. You'd have the open sky & nowhere to run.Constant Ion storms, & id really like to do something with the illusions, hallucinations, & misdirection & mind control squids are supposed to have, but i dont think that can reasonably be added without pissing people off. Only thing I can think of is either hide objectives until you're close, or use Ion Storms to kill your map

They reinforce by dropping like a large ship like a hellpod. It slams into the ground & they run out of it as a group. It drops slow & kind of like a meteor. If you can damage it while it drops it will rip apart in the air instead of slamming down.

we need another faction that explodes into showers of gore like the bugs and i think these meat monkeys are the one

>>534410467
Voteless and Fleshmobs should definitely explode into meat, but they don't. This is gay, and I blame swiggers.

>>534410195
It's literally a game mechanic, kills on a planet reduce the resistance. Unless you also thought that Fori Prime's 10% resistance was a bug that needed to be patched 20 times over the course of the MO.

>>534410195
Doesn't resistance lower the longer you siege a planet?

I think there were some unannounced changes in this patch.

>>534410892
wdym?

>>534410323
Imagine all of the Warstrider nades landing all in the same 3ft or so wide trench.

>>534410195
maybe the 2% base resistance optional objective tougher than two or three of the main objective planets combined shouldn't have been an extra limited opportunity shorter than the total MO time and been either extra credit with GW implications after blitzing the rest or a gambit to try and shorten the MO overall

maybe, just maybe, joel should learn to not be a swigger

>>534410798
>kills on a planet reduce the resistance.

literally not, it's a thing they have to manually adjust and they don't do it for every planet
>Unless you also thought that Fori Prime's 10% resistance was a bug that needed to be patched 20 times over the course of the MO.
yes you stupid nigger, its them adjusting the MO as it progresses, there's no automated system to do it, its all on the devs

>>534410798
Thats news to me

Were talking about Joel here, so, yes.

Bottard is proven incompetent by the fact they can't even fill the kill x enemies' quota in the last shared MO

>>534411490
oh theres a fucking weird black line, I didn't even notice that. Your graphics card might be dying.

>>534409887
Flamethrowers work on striders?

>>534413119
Of course you should fight fire with fire. You should fight everything with fire.

>>534412974
but they did successfully kill all of those striders before the end, and Joel never reduced the quota like for squids or inherently softballed it like for bugs?

Me and a buddy put on arc resist gear and took all arc loadouts for a laugh and it was killing chargers, hulks, and bile titans no problem. I imagine they've managed to make it trigger multiple arcs separately on each instance of the game or something stupid.

Headshots + Leansissy

>>534425354
Each raider shot does 35 (reduced by armor rating sure), it does a 12 shot burst, a Heckdiver only has 100 main health.

Basically the damage scaling in HD2 is either fucked or Super Earth's infantry weapons are *that* deadly since this also means that friendly fire is Super Lethal too.

It's completely fucked, sometimes they just randomly one-shot you now, been that way since they did that dumb stupid AI update that reduced everyone's FPS by 20

there's nothing more satisfying than landing consecutive headshots on bots with the amendment.

>>534427185
I wish it was just mega-cities
Playing on colony maps already makes my frames shit themself, and I dont know why. I'm already running the "optimal performance" guide that everyone shills, but to no big effect.
Maybe that one schizo theory of "host loses FPS because his PC has to calculate all the enemy AI" is true, I dont know.

Or the swedes just cannae be arsed with optimising their fucking game, and performance has been getting worse with every patch.

Drum mag defender+ballistic shield in a city map against bots is actually fun, bros.

I think it's less that our weaponry is extremely lethal, and more that everything, even on the enemy side, is extremely cheaply made in order to keep up with the extreme demands of such an extensive war.

>>534427368
Both, iirc the game runs just like Yandere Simulator where it has to calculate every single action done by every single enemy at all times, which is why it runs completely fine when you load on the map with no enemies, but the second you start to have bug breaches and stuff, you lose half of your frames

such a meme, the ship is littered with screens but they expect me to press Z with no notification every time I get ingame

>>534431265
The niche of being fun. It's not always about the function of a weapons, but the feel.

All weapons should get a 200 meters range limit to force players to be more active and stick more together, instead of having certain faggots sit on the evac all mission and acting like they're being helpful by shooting some palestinian bots across the sector.

>>534430567

Of course AH cucked out of that

>>534431819
Sounds gay and lame. I want to snipe gunships as they spawn in from 600+ meters away.

>>534431819
>and stick more together,
i fail to see how that would force people to stick together
the rest of your post is gay and retarded

>>534431819
>retarded opinion using a gigached pic
it's like pottery

>>534431819
Agreed, the only weapon that shouldn't be bound by this is the EAT.
EAT sniping is peak.

>>534432240
The scope/sight could use more functionality so that newer players knows where to aim with projectile drop at 100-200m though.

>>534431819
Gay and retarded. Instead of arbitrary number changes why not look for ways to incentive it through actually meaningful enemy behavior changes? What makes people split up is the fact that there's no punishment for it. You can get an enemy drop on one side of the map, and if everyone is split, 3 players will be void of enemies to shoot. This is the problem. There needs to be more enemies singularly strong enough to threaten lone Helldivers, perhaps a system like Vermintide where the most dangerous enemies will spawn on lone players if they have been far from the team for too long, but with more leniency.

>>534440972
Epoch still has the excuse of "being able to shoot three times in a row" as weak as it is for how ass it is. That QC needs to take an entire minute to do.

>>534440483
This. Quasar is a top tier AT weapon, Epoch is a top tier garbage can stuffer.

>>534441157
RR mogs both

Imagine how cool would a weapon with 2 distinct fire modes depending on charge would be
But as you people say - too kino for swiggers

>>534407054
You need to make the faction media literate. The monkeys could be genetically engineered organisms made to be slave labor, but were euphamistically referred to as "economic efficient labor". Part of the genetic engineering was fast breeding cycles to replenish the heavy attrition and also explains why there are billions of them to fight.

I want a COMPENDIUM of WELL-WRITTEN BUGS that I can POST and/or SPAM in the subreddit at some point. Something that will not be akin to asking that joel or alexus get raped by niggers or gorillas but something that you can take one look at and not have an instantaneous 'oh that one's just dead wrong so the whole list doesn't matter lmao' moment
The only way to beat Arrowhead right now is to completely annihilate them with well-written criticism akin to that thread last month in the subreddit where the guy broke down the math behind the galactic war and why it felt like shit, and outright said it was a farce and rigged in the comments below (which he didn't say in the OP because he didn't want people to write it off)
You can't win every argument in a game populated by retards but you can definitely have something that's good enough to stand on its own two feet for criticism

>>534441561
The warp pack is a meme and a crutch. Stop being a shitter that relies on it.

>>534441398
>he's too retarded to skip 50+% of the reload animation
learn to play the game, shitter
it's effectively a shorter-ranged commando with 4 reloads

Why does the jump pack consume stamina?

>>534441538
And yet nothing beats it in pure DPS... Curious....

>>534441680
I have one that's probably "not a bug, but a feature" but the distance of the scope model during FP View is tied to the vertical FOV.
So if you set a high VFOV, your scope will be further away - including the scope markings.
I have a low-end pc so I can't play on native res, and this shit is annoying.

>>534442217
You're not using it to shoot at anything other than HVTs with how shit the HE mode is.
Meanwhile the EAT guy probably has another support weapon that does.

>>534442128
>it's effectively a shorter-ranged commando with 4 reloads
yeah if the commando had to charge each shot, had stationary reloads, no demo force, damage falloff, bulletdrop and random spread

if it's this fun to use I don't care if it's a crutch or a meme, I'm using it.

I didn't like the scythe but learned that it's pretty good against robots. It kills the regular troopers fine and it's pretty good against devastators, especially the shield ones, because you only need to hit their head for like 1 second to kill them.

>>534444984
it just is okay?!

>>534446563
Easily the biggest issue with the EAT
Superb stratagem completely assfucked by not being able to stim during its prep time causing many deaths

The Constitution could have infinite ammo and it'd still be shit.

>>534448268
Back to aimlabs shitter

>>534446563
I just laser cannon them in the eye and move on with Commando/EATs being mainly used for fab sniping or striders, and the occasional cannon turrets.

>>534448268
it already has, it's not like you either live long enough or can't find a ammo box before you run out, especially if you use your sidearm

>>534448268
>the only bolt action in the game
>complete shit because AH thinks its funny

>>534448684
That's my point, infinite ammo wouldn't really increase its power because at the end of the day it's better to run out of ammo having killed 50 stuff rather than not running out of ammo but having only killed 10.

Same problem with the Scythe/Sickle with their economy advantages apparently justifying their garbo DPS though the Scythe has the accuracy and fire gimmick at least.

Calling any bad design in this game a joke gives swiggers too much credit. They really are just that incompetent.

Just tried to farm trooper railgun kills, holy shit this thing can only kill a single trooper, there's no AOE at all. So you can only kill, at most, TWO troopers every three minutes in the best case scenario of d1 diving so there's literally nothing else for this dumb fucking strat to target.
What the fuck were they thinking?

>>534449792
They expect all 20k active players to be nonstop running d1 around the clock.

>>534448268
I would still pay real money for AH to implement a singular fucing stripper clip reload.

>>534450598
reminder it took less than a month of bitching for senator speedloader

>>534449792
Forgot to write, *in the best case scenario of d1 diving with another orbital railgun

Maybe it's different in the Nanos sector with the reduced cooldown but I really can't see it being much better over there.

>>534446731
Ok here's a thing, if it's such a meme weapon why not lean into the whole bayonet angle and give it a special attack where if you melee while you're diving you do a powerful lunging attack with it.
The downside is that it immediately ragdolls you and for larger enemies you end up sticking to them for a bit until they fling you off with their movement.

>>534449792
why are you diving on d1? you'd get more trooper kills spamming it at random on higher difficulties due to how they clump up. it definitely has some aoe because I've seen it take out troopers nearby when it blasts a hulk

>>534451272
You'd also have to clear out any other targets on higher difficulties since it prioritizes anything heavier.

Just died 5 more times trying to finish Relapse on hard difficulty in Ready or Not. I want to kill.

It's joels newest and most favorite trick

>>534451715
it's decent but also completely eclipsed by max dps ap2 guns such as diligence or tenderizer which have both more damage + velocity
it's also not as good as other single hit kill options like ultigaytum, Eruptor, or EAT if we're talking total mode
tl;dr good but unremarkable

>>534454009
Pissfog planets are cancer, not exactly surprising

>>534454147
There's no reason to use it if you're not using the volley/total firemode to dump into weakspots like vents/dearmored charger legs yeah.
The higher RPM that makes its auto vaguely better than the Liberator/turns it into a miniStalwart isn't that useful with the bad ergo.

Don't care, nigger. I use what's fun.

It's vaguely okay against elevated overseers, but a lot of the one-handed weapons are pretty cucked to use against them.

I don't get it either anon. I don't normally play d10 since I know I'm not knowledgeable enough to handle that much yet. But I've joined a few people I knew who were playing d10 and we could barely complete the main objectives most of the time. It's not satisfying to see 90% of the map left to complete while seeing them book it to extract with 2 reinforcements left.

Lobby?

>Another forced loss MO because Joel still hasnt gotten over when Botchads kicked the bots off the galactic map twice

>>534459169

>>534457026
Really wish the Directional Shield at least worked with two handed weapons, I get the Ballistic Shield being one-handeds only and I think its strong enough to warrant the tradeoff, but the DS as it stands is just all around worse outside of being rechargable so it might save you from more tank cannon shots than the Ballistic.
At least if it was the designated projectiles shield AND let you use more weapons with it out it might see some use.

>>534459473
If I drop in and the Reinforcements are down to six or lower while there's still more than one objective I leave. If that happens during the mission I also leave. There's no point to stress out if all the other divers are retards biting off more than they can chew.

>>534458102
The demo force argument is about verisimilitude. The argument about it being shit is related to it's damage output, needing a full charge to do anything and basically every AT being better at AT than it. Ironically, because the Epoch delivers a large portion of it's output as "explosive" which basically everything with tank armor resists.

What is true endgame +400 hours armor for bots and bugs?

I feel like having 550 running speed is mandatory for bugs, so light gunner works wonders.

FOr automatons, heavy fortified is amazing for the 50% less explosion damage in a faction that spams rockets 24/7.
Mayyyyybe peak-physique for defense, but then again, it is really not needed to aim a recoiless or AT emplacement properly.

>>534462009
I joined a map with a solo dude the other day. He was struggling to complete an refuel objective, tons of stuff still on the map. He had no reinforcements left except the ones I brought him. One of his biggest issues was that the objective was surrounded by nests, one of them a stalker nest. Instead of helping him with the refuel since he kept having to stop & kill waves of bugs. I went & killed the nests. When I came back he finally got a break from the bugs & we completely the mission. Then we went to the ecac with zero time on the clock & we got out of there with a mission fully completed. Sometimes you gotta dive into hell to be the angel for someone else

The famous arrogance and stubbornness of the Swede is not to be understated. He will sooner chop off his own hands than admit wrongdoing, and only admits fault when cornered like an animal.

Partial victory results would do a lot towards making them feel fair by taking into consideration which objectives the community completed and opening the door to not having gay ass shit fuck "complete this ass shit fuck objective to reduce the objective we gave a wrong number for"

How is the railcannon with the 30second cooldown?

>>534448268
The problem is the gun with rounds reload and worse damage than the slugger has a reload speed per bullet that's 3 times as fucking long as said slugger.

If the reload speed was improved the gun would be better overnight. Like with parade armor the gun is actually pretty fun. But you're taking armor to make a meme gun less of a meme.

>>534473284
They realized how retarded the kill count for this mo is and are trying to amend it

>>534473284
It's broken
If you take two of them the other one also has a 30 sec cool down
Just chuck them anytime anywhere it doesn't matter

>>534473284
Ironically On par with other strategems you could take. Actually feels like an orbital that's worth something, like you could run 4 of these and have a good kit.

Kinda sad how they're not gonna do anything about the rail cannon and other orbis like precision strike after this.

>>534472843
Okay they're gone.
Now would you be happy if every MO was obtainable or too hard for the community to perform then? Because thats what we used to have.

>>534473257
I could see that, but then there's less tension if you pass or fail. Honestly I think MOs are better when theres multiple paths and outcomes, only issue is that the entire community sorta just chooses based on how many people are at X.

>>534474036
Why are you acting like there can only be two modes

>>534473234
Y'know that's how it used to work yeh?

>>534473573
these kinds of free stratagem MO's are always to get the playerbase to use them more so they can collect feedback. modifying ORC to have a lower cooldown (the #1 suggested buff) is a way to test the waters.

>>534473234
Not only is that how it worked, it's how it SHOULD work

we're coming up on nearly a year of the RR being able to kill fabs from any angle. unless that guy only just came back from a very long break there's no way he hasn't seen some one shoot a fabricator with a quasar or EAT or something from a different angle and kill it without sinking the shot into the vent

>>534474274
You say that but they never buffed smoke after all the testing on ayys.
Honestly shouldn't be a surprise and AT weapon with 3 times the cooldown of eats with half the uses is going to feel underpowered.

I'll put my cock in your mouth boy.

Tell me where I'm wrong.

Laser orbital is pretty fun, but it really sucks when it gets stuck on shit with a ton of HP.
Like fleshmobs, tanks or factory striders.
It's fun watching it in towns rip through POIs. Shame it's underpowered compared just using a 380

This is the best MO for convincing me to not play the game for a week.

>>534475135

No they're just making a narrative. They wanted to tweak the numbers from the start and see how it went.
