>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.

>>536286443
Eruptor is pretty much better all around imo but xbow's decent too. You can take it with the shield or on missions where you recover items, but it can get really wonky where you need to drop the item or switch to a support weapon (if you have one) before using the stratagem menu which feels pretty clumsy the first time you're in that situation.

>>536286443
>>536286630
>i use it so i dont have to think
This. Faster than the Eruptor, one handed, good ergo, incredible damage, and kills every non-heavy in at least 2 shots. Hardly need to aim or manage ammo.

>Missed yesterday's talk about a 4th faction
Sucks, but whatever. Since the most popular ideas for a 4th faction always linger on some sort of dissident or rebel group, my pitch was...time traveling Super Earth
>In the distant future, long after SE has won the 2nd Galactic War, technology has only progressed further at the cost of everyone somehow becoming stupider than current SE from the constant stream of propaganda, and such, after reviewing the already heavily altered historical records, they come to the conclusion that present day Super Earth is not really democratic enough, so they decide to build a time machine and travel to the past to fix that by further reinforcing patriotic values on their past selves: us
>They arrive on our time and claim themselves to be the true and better Super Earf, whilst our High Command says the opposite, and each group yells anarchist and traitor to each other as they shit out armies to throw at the meat grinder, being in a way more dangerous than even the squids since they know the ins and outs of our defenses
>A subfaction could be actual dissidents (canon chaosdivers?), regular citizens and troops that, confused, decided to throw in their lot with the "other SE", having defected to their ranks but still using our tools against us
>In the case of a hypthetical Helldivers 3 (lol), they have their work cut out for them since they can have us play the role of Future Super Earth with the enemy faction being HD2's version repurposed into enemies (ie. lazy swiger tricks)
As for units I have no clue but my guess would be that Future SEAF would be chaff while Future Helldivers would be a more dangerous but less common since they still deploy in relatively small numbers and their multiple variants would be akin to the "divisions" we already have with the warbond regiments, and besides enhanced versions of shit we already had on both games, they have more high-concept shit like actual Hellbots or something completely foreign to us

It’s going to be not! Eridar arch enemies of the squid from a long time ago sealed in a galaxy far far away traveling FORWARD through time to collect the bug, bot, and SE bounty.
Hellrazor meets quake.
They will cause the nids to evolve into suicidal clicker zombies, funneling into the meridian hole until it regurgitates them all as a “living” planet, while the bots will build a planet out of machinery fused with SE corpses: borg singularity. The squids will build one too, but counter to the space demons.
Super earth will fly not one but TWO super destroyers into each of them, destroying them suspiciously easily, as if someone from the inside prepped them for demolition.
The destruction of their concentrated evil will pollute the galaxy and your mother will die in her sleep tonight if you don’t run outside and do 10 burpees in the next minute

>>536288071
Autocannon will get you far. Set it to Flak for everything other than Arc Towers and Harvesters, and take the MG and/or Gatling Sentry for the little fucks.

Mega cities are dogshit and actively make the game less fun

>players encourage to play in them 99% of the time because of how planet life works now, so can’t even “just ignore them”

Absolute dogshit. They need to disable mega cities or change planet life until they can bring mega cities up to the level or regular maps.

https://files.catbox.moe/1splnr.png

>>536288071
Assuming you're NOT solodiving, i liked the following loadout:
1. breaker s&p with full choke for shooting voteless in the legs and magdumping into fleshmobs. it has tons of ammo.
2. ultimatum for ez dropship deletion.
3. gas grenades for thinning hordes and distracting fleshmobs. can also destroy dropships the old-fashioned way by downing shields and throwing them in the door.
4. eagle strafing run deletes entire horde conga lines chasing you, and can be used to quickly disable dropship shields. can disable multiple ship shields if they're lined up. it can also easily destroy squid zapper towers.
5. medium machine gun works on every squid enemy, except fleshmobs. you can go prone and shoot the legs off entire hordes of voteless for one bullet each, it kills overseers quickly and can kill harvesters by disabling their shield prongs and shooting their leg joint weakpoints. it shoots down stingrays too.
6. armor is also free choice, but I like siege ready. It pairs really well with the MMG and Breaker for moar dakka.
7+ your two other stratagem slots are whatever you want. 500kg can take out multiple dropships at once if they are close together.
orbital gas strike direct-hits kills dropships.
MG sentry has a short cooldown and is handy for thinning their numbers and shooting down annoying elevated overseers.
HMG emplacement kills fleshmobs and overseers fast and can kill harvesters, but stingrays love stationary targets and even if you dodge their strafing runs they will destroy your emplacement.
And rarely, if the map terrain allows it, you can bring an AT-emplacement and deploy it on the high ground to shoot dropship outposts from across the entire map with impunity.

This basically my "solved" Illuminate build.
Eruptor
Laser cannon
Incendiary grenades/ gas grenades
Machine gun sentry
Mobility backpack
Last stratagem is whatever you want.

The laser cannon s how you will be doing most of your fighting, since it's effective against everything, quick taps to manage heat and set voteless on fire at a distance so they just burn out and die, long sweeps at head or leg level into dense crowds at closer ranges. Hitting the overseer's big toe when his shield is up Shooting the elevated overseer in the balls as he kites backwards. Shooting down the stingray.. Hitting the weak points on harvesters. It will kill flesh mobs too just not quickly but still quicker than you'd think because it simultaneously does fire damage over time. This is where hatever mobility backpack you have comes into play as you play keep away and kite the thing Your laser cannon gives you the dual advantages of superb ammo economy, mobile "reload, and the underappreciated fact that lasers draw less aggro because they don't make much noise.

For harvesters you pop their shield with your eruptor then focus their weak point with the laser cannon.
For bases it's the reverse, you disable their shields from a distance with the laser cannon, then shoot the door with the eruptor

Machine gun sentry is good for drawing aggro from and helping you deal with elevated overseers so you can shoot their jetpack while they're distracted, or just let the sentry handle it.

>>536296473
So if it breaks but still has hp, it isn’t crippled?
Basically it rolls to cripple with every hit, but those rolls won’t matter until they retroactively do when limb hp is depleted?
Or does limb hp = 0 = crippled limb

Eruptor - 2 shots to the shield and 1 to the door for warpships, kills everything in 1 or 2 hits except fleshmobs, kills voteless easy at a distance, stunlocks and kills harvesters in a mag
Talon - for close quarters voteless or when completely empty on other weapons
gas nade - slows fleshmobs and eventually kills them, can turn a horde from a threat to toothless.
Stalwart/LC/MMG - stalwart is best, LC and MMG can deal with stingrays, but MMG has a stationary reload. take stalwart and just ignore them, somebody on your team will take a better tool for dealing with them. LC can also help with fleshmobs adding a DoT but iirc it's not as good for shields so stalwart is really the meta pick here.
MG sentry - having one up almost all the time is just free kills and helps lower pressure
laser dog - any dog works but laser is my preference for constant uptime, although you're trading potential bits of friendly/self damage from the beam so be aware and bring it in when you're next to friendlies
orbital gas strike or really any red you want - practically a freebie. another sentry is a reasonable take here too. OGS just helps you preserve some nades but on megacity maps, repositioning is a liability.

for playstyle just keep it moving all the time, stalwart down shields and eruptors to doors for ships. ignore stingrays, even harvesters if you've got space and no objectives to hold. illuminates should be played like a speedrun. the #1 priority target is jetpack overseers or voteless that get within 10 feet of you. I've gotten top kills in every mission except 1 or 2 where I joined in the last couple minutes with this loadout, and almost certainly destroyed the most ships too, it's the most OP loadout in the game for squids I think.

Eruptor
MMG (LC on cold planets)
Talon
Gas grenade
AR dog
Gatlilng sentry
Strafing run
Very easy to remove ship shields with a MMG and snipe the entrance with your Eruptor. I like using this with engineering kit for the extra gas grenades and the recoil reduction for the MMG.

how is that pol retard
it's a bruce avin a ciggy

>>536301703
Nothing. It's a fundamentally flawed design. The only way to unass it is to remove it completely and replace it with something that fills the SMG niche better. SMGs should be up close (generally AP2) bullet hoses that outperform even the lib carbine in their optimal range and then quickly fall off so they don't outshine ARs at medium range.

>>536301703

>>536301703
>one-handed
Every other SMG but the Reprimand is also one-handed and they all kick the Defender's ass besides the Redeemer. For some reason it's balanced more like an early game weapon pre-attachments, even when accounting for them, which makes it incredibly arbitrary to exist, as if they just sorta forgot to examine how it's supposed to stack up with other weapons. People criticize the Peacemaker, that shit at least has a consistency to itself and can pop heads with no fuss.
You know shit's bad when the abandoned StA-11 is basically a variant of it and the Defender only wins out by nature of attachments.

>>536301703

>>536282580 (OP)

Since they gave it extra mags I've actually been taking it recently when I have an AP3 primary and using it to save primary ammo where applicable

>>536301703
Honestly there's not much you can do. Like the next break point would be headshotting devs heads in a single click.
Really it should be doing 100 damage per bullet tho to keep up with liberators DPS, but again doesn't matter for break points.

It's not her fault anon, Arrowhead just made her retarded, blame them.

>>536302548
Did you play solo or get carried?

>>536302343
ODST is fine. Sure it's a short campaign, but it's an expansion for a reason, and just going objective to objective instead of exploring really makes it underwhelming. Its biggest shortcoming is no enemy Elites since it's fresh in the Brute takeover. The game didn't hit it big with the populace for the campaign or minimal changes, but Firefight was legendary anyway, so I dunno what sorta shit you're smoking.
Still hate that with the MCC modding we can't do something like have ODST and Spartan players in the same match, like some sorta co-op session with one Chief and 3 Rookies.

>>536302214
Ironically the attachments actually make it worse due to the buko added sway.

>>536301703
Faster firerate, WAY better ergo, and faster reload speed. The only thing the Defender has going for it is the fact that it's technically one-handed, and can be used with shields or when carrying objectives. It shouldn't be the strongest gun, but it should be the most comfortable one.

>>536302548
Post loadout.

I'm tired of pretending one handed is a valuable trait.

>>536303246
It is A valuable trait, just not a valuable ENOUGH trait for most people to bother.

One-handed would be a valuable weapon trait if the directional shield didn't require a backpack slot. Making it require both a backpack slot and one of your hands was a retarded design decision.

>>536303246
it'd be more valuable if both the shields didn't take a backpack slot
especially the fucking energy shield
the thing is the size of a paper plate but somehow uses the whole ass backpack slot
they should have a new secondary item slot and put the ballistic and energy shield in that slot

>>536303473
It should have been an attachment for one-handed primaries.

>>536303473
Directional shield just sucks in general.
I've yet to see a good use case for it.

https://youtu.be/0l-pZ795wGk
>>536303473
>>536303714
the fact the shield protects you from behind and the side when not equipped/raised justifies it taking a backpack slot imo

>>536304185
Part of it is also that people had no idea how far halo had to fall, so much like star wars, entries that weren't received well at the time are looked back on more fondly now that we know just how bad things can be.

>>536303813
here's 3 i can think of
>protecting LE TEAMMATES as portable cover (team-loading levels of meme)
>has infinite durability so will not ever break requiring you to call down a new one
>can use it as passenger in car to provide some shielding
it gets popped by full auto fire whereas the ballistic shield can take an infinite amount below a certain AP value, it doesn't provide passive cover to your back like the ballistic shield when stowed, and it makes you a bigger hitbox to get ragdolled by missiles
but it IS less gay than being a bubble boy

>>536304459
>take directional shield
>everybody else on the team thinks "lol what a dumbass"

>take bubble shield
>everyone else on the team thinks "what a shitter"
can't win

>>536304459
That not everything you play has to be some meta build of efficiency and some shit exists just to fuck around. Hence the One True Flag.

>>536304459
The original directional shield was just a backpack generator with significantly more frontal durability but no protection to the back or sides. No fucking clue why they changed that for the sequel.

>>536304536
>>has infinite durability so will not ever break requiring you to call down a new one
You can actually get it knocked out of your hand, and it tends to not show up on the map and you just genuinely lose it.

Had that happen to me a few times.

>>536304742
nyes

>>536304487
Star Wars is a case where people appreciated the era more and can look back and notice positives. Lucas at least trusted the audience enough to understand the annoying politics rather than excessively dumbing down everything. ODST was in some ways worse than the present. For Halo 3, if you didn't buy the latest map pack then you'd be locked out of playlists you had on launch and ODST was the only way to access a map pack for some time. Not even modern Call of Duty and Halo consistently demanded purchase of new titles and map packs or you'd be retroactively denied content on the base game. It's looked fondly more because few remember horrid practices like that. It's like how many players excited about BF6 don't remember all the enormous server and lag issues from previous Battlefield titles.

>>536304536
>but it IS less gay than being a bubble boy
I think the fact that you can fuck up your teammates by increasing your hitbox and causing them to get ragdolled by shit that would've otherwise missed them, is enough to make you equally as gay as a bubble boy.

>>536304615
>It's a joke weapon
Lol

>>536301703
Until equipped weapons/gear slow you down, the only thing they could possibly do is let you carry more ammo (justified by being generally lower caliber).

>>536304615
>Hence the One True Flag.
Should have a 30 second cooldown. That being said, being able to deploy the portable shield as a moblie shield emplacement would unironically give it somewhat of a use case.

>>536305023
you can release RMB when missiles are inbound so it's a skill issue like someone blowing you up by killing themselves with epoch

Ever heard of a shitty joke before, Arrowhead? Whats the fucking punchline? "Joke" weapons should only be added if you have an extra weapon or item in the warbond to compensate.

It's not funny if squiddivers fail to reach the MO, but if squiddivers meet it and bots or bugs don't, that's REALLY funny, so I'm focusing illuminate.

>>536305376
Dude like even if the rockets don't hit your shield, the explosion knock back itself hitting your shield will send you flying. Like if you activate the shield near a dying hulk you basically extend the radius of the explosion by 10 meters.

>>536305376
>No, you see the shield is fine you just have to lower it whenever you're being shot at

The center of gravity is just way too high or the car is way too light. It's covered in enough armor to be mostly bulletproof but it feels like a smart car when it should feel like a humvee.

We need the Bastion tank now, fuck the gay FRV

>>536306267
Put it in first gear to get more torque with the ground, makes it less slippery

That makes even less sense than what it is now.

Haven’t used it in awhile but I feel like sidearms in general have shit ergonomics for what they are. They should fly across the screen

Wait what is this Ultimatum + melee technique? It launches the explosive with much higher velocity.

>drive over two IEDs in an uparmored jeep
>it fleeps
Why is this surprising? The only reason this (sometimes) doesn't flip humvees is because they physically can't absorb the kinetic energy fast enough and get torn apart

>>536314016
car's weight is fine because it heightens the driving between point A and B. Just barely tipping over constantly makes it fun, like you're riding in some ork tier wagon or something.

I get wanting things to be easier, but the solution is to just stick to 1. It DOES make the car stick to the ground more.

>>536314343
those don't even throw you when you're on foot

>>536313602
this exists so you can unflip the car with a light tap of anything explosive

>>536314615
That is not the purpose, we sweden too well for that to be the case. Rather, that technique is a consequence of it being so light

>>536314615
Wouldn't have to unflip the car if it wasn't so easy to flip in the first place.

All you have to do to not flip the car is shift gears right before impact. It instantly applies a huge boost to traction, making it a lot harder to flip, then just swap back after impact.

>>536314498
and? their intended effect when detonated is to slow you down. the slowdown doesnt work on the car so they gave it pushforce which will slow you down, to make you avoid them while driving

>>536307620

This game has captured so much and I don't think the devs even grasp it

>>536316812
Through cycles of subtle and bombastic sincerity, to irony that's either fond or (more often) cynical, parody, propaganda, underhanded or explicit. We always have to come back to heroics, because it best reflects the divine forms and the monomyth. A PART of that is in Helldivers 2, and you'd think it'd be IN SPITE of the game's tone, but I reckon it's more BECAUSE of the game's tone that it can get away with it. That's why it resonates. I wonder if that's why those slimy snivelling bureaucrats at the UN wanted to talk to Pilestedt. They don't understand how many layers of irony everything is being filtered through, so they are confused and frightened.

It's not just, "lol stun it when it's standing still' cause sometimes it'll just aggro out of that. Hell I've had fleshmobs stop charging when they get stunned. It's insanely inconsistant. Gas just handles them so much better.

>how far halo had to fall
Where did it have to fall? Losing all its players to Call of Duty? Trying and failing to imitate CoD to get those fans back? Bungie were glad to witness the death of franchise they sold to Microsoft then bitched loudly every time the new owners did anything they didn't like even though they weren't the owners anymore. Turning Halo into CoD must've been some twisted "thank you" for being the finishers.

>>536326517
If they imitated COD better then maybe the metagame wouldn't be nothing but a single headshot ranged rifle gun being the domination of everything. The H1 pistol, the BR, the DMR, the games all play the fucking same. I tried introducing new players and even they told me when they liked it that the whole game devolved into using that same type of weapon forever. The BR in H2 and H3 could beat the AR in TTK in its own short close range. There's entire guns that have 0 advantage whatsoever over the game's headshot rifle gun.
>muh H1 pistol is a pisto
that played like a rifle.

>>536326227
Like the bosses in Helldivers 1 but now they're player controlled

>>536325808
That'd be a fun angle but yet again I'll say I want a rebel SEAF faction and a PvP mode with sides (not) labelled loyalists and traitors. Consider it satire.

>>536326904
>>536326227
Honestly I'm remembering both Left 4 Dead Versus and Resident Evil 6 Agent Hunt. Former with asymmetric mini-boss specials to fling at people, latter let you possess any enemy besides bosses just to harass the hell out of players actively running a game. I dunno if HD2 could ever do with full on dedicated boss enemies with how it's currently designed, but it would be amusing to see someone sorta either go hands-on with the enemies, or treat it more like an RTS / Zombie Master in trying to direct and organize forces and alert drops.

>>536327140

>there's probably a Halo ARMA mod that if it got AAA devs could be a masterpiece

>>536327378
You sure it wasn't disappointment over the gameplay itself? You played more like a Spartan without Power Armor who could still perform most feats of superhuman strength like ripping machineguns off bipods or boarding a Wraith and punching it until it explodes. The city itself is empty besides the story of this girl looking for family and eating kababs.

Kebab guy is one of the only characters I remember from ODST and especially remember positively. This guy stayed behind because he was too big and knew he'd take up too many seats. He could smash a butcher knife through a car and scare the driver shitless. And he gave people free kebabs during the evacuation so they'd be fed and calm.

Some times I wonder if AH devs suffer from brain damage.
They go all in on limb damage and body parts. Then they do squids as zombie faction.
Why on earth they didn't do Necromorphs style faction instead? Even if it was full on copycat faction. Lovcraftian faction that pops up here and there. With mutated mass of enemies that die when you blow up their limbs.
Squids could still be behind them. But you don't just tell it until long time after. Handful of squids survived and are back for revenge. They seed planet with moonlight/parasite/whatever and it turns into Necromorphs planet. Helldivers have to purge it before it spreads and cover up what happened

The sucky thing about some games which focus on finding items for flashbacks or have a focus on flashbacks is the now-story doesn't have much to it.

At the top of my head, a common complaint about the indie game Ender Magnolia is that most of the interesting backstory bits don't affect the main plot very much. What could've been interesting plots starring these lore characters who led to the present hellish landscape are mostly all dead or inactive. It's like a Soulsborne title except the big lore boss backstory character doesn't get a boss fight 90% of the time like if you found Artorias already dead rather than fight him.

>>536328870
Someone at AH is a massive Mass Effect fag.

>>536328870
I mean to be fair HD2 was a massive gamble, turning a Magicka clone into what feels like a full fledged "game" somebody could put 1000 hours into was a huge success, it's hard to blame them for not being more balls to the wall. That said, I think the fanbase is ravenous for wild content which is only a good indicator for AH if they can capitalize on it.

>>536328983
That might be it. Shame they weren't big enough fan to play star control 2 then
Sc2/urquan master is massive influence for mass effect. It would have done this game some good to play sc2 and think hard what kinda alians you can make and what their motivations can be

Helldivers 2 is the sequel to Helldivers 1

I thought HD2 as an MGSV clone.

>>536328870
I really wish that helldivers type of game 343 proposed actually got the green light cause imagine being an ODST at extract fighting off hordes of the flood

>>536329372
Im like 99% sure thats what the PDA thing was for at some point. To call in strategems like in Phantom pain

>>536329237
When you take wild gamble that is when you should shoot for moon and go balls to wall.
Sony is funding you. You have system in place for more exciting combat. Go all in.
If I had been in charge. I would have build full on super destroyer set. Cast few actors and done live action trailers for every big event and content update.
One guy is commander of helldiver forces. When it's normal stuff. You film short clip of him leading the war.
Then another guy who leads black ops when helldivers are needed to pull of shady stuff. When MO leans into that. Then you have clip with him in charge.
R&D guys when you get new toys. Maybe warbond spesific characters.

>Then another guy who leads black ops when helldivers are needed to pull of shady stuff. When MO leans into that. Then you have clip with him in charge.
A named character associated with each big event would've been huge imo. Like a general or commander, or scientist (with the meridia black hole shit), one from each ministry, could've done alot for the game. Something as simple as "Chief Scientist Roberts" and grab some rando from the dev team to read a few lines and act shit out, like C&C, even more low budget, just funny and soulful. Oh well. Maybe it speaks to the monolithic and oppressive regime that there's no individual to rally behind but that feels like an excuse for not doing something cool.

Actually someone at AH has to be a dead space fag, the squid monoliths are clearly marker inspired

Someone at AH has to a be a bugfucker, look how the impalers are clearly hentai inspired

>>536330105
But that's totally oposite what starship troopers did. They highlighted individuals as part of propaganda. You could have done some serius clips. But keep most if them as propaganda format.
Imagine those usless computers or tv in super destroyer. Running those propaganda clips there. With whole starship troopers ui and would you like to know more in them.

>>536329505
The general movement system and aiming is really MGSV to me.

>>536330147
Then why they didn't Necromorph votless and fleshpartys.
Blobs would be perfect for limb system. Blow up X ammount of heads/hands and it dies.

>bought helldivers
First impressions it’s really fun, but I’m struggling to find how this is the flavour of the year. It’s MGSV shooting with rag doll horse shit and pea shooters, can’t see myself getting into this in a big way because it’s so very basic. Clutching is just kiting things around waiting for a cool down as far as I can see, maybe the weapons you can buy change things but even so that would be lame. Fun but not incredible, rat click gives a better rush.

>FRV is already a stratagem that I barely ever see in pubs
>even when it was completly free I didn't even see one every match
>people used it more for the Pelican fire support than the car itself

I cannot understand what the swede is thinking

>>536330445
gimme

Is Delta any good?

>>536330403
I felt the same way at first, thought it was like a shitty mobile game or something with how the best weapons were on a cooldown and you could get fucked if you died and respawned somewhere far away. If you stick with it, grab the democratic detonation warbond, the game feels 100x better and you'll get why it's got a such a draw.

>>536330105
It would be really cheep to do. Build one good set and use it. Capital of super earth is in Stockholm. It's fine to use Swedish with acent in roles. Find some chinks and brown people to fill out cast and one nazi looking white guy who looks great in uniform.
In day you can film year worth of clips

>>536330443
It's a simple penalty for losing the planet where the FRVs are produced. What AH was thinking is that players should be punished for losing planets that they failed to defend. Which is a good thing.

>>536329835

The fleshmob and Leviathan killed the factions popularity because they're both horribly designed enemies

>only 3500sc

Someone at Arrowhead is clearly a huge faggot, look at how shit this game design is.

>>536332891
Fleshmob is just a distraction, if you're shooting at it you're letting it win in the big scheme of things.
Leviathans being a cuckchair gear check as well as utterly inconsequential to destroy is just bad game design, I agree. They should've just buffed mortar overseers instead of introducing these shitbirds.

>>536329372
sneaking up on POIs gave me the same feel

>>536333239
So, two enemies that are designed to not be interacted with? You can't call that good design.

>>536330742

>"It's game design is... you're supposed to not engage with it. It's just supposed to be avoided!"
So it's bad game design.

>>536333239
The biggest problem with Fleshmobs is that Voteless already serve their purpose. Illuminate is a horde of thousands of worthless chaff with 1-2 units sprinkled in that oneshot, and the chaff is just there to block shots and throw off aim. Fleshmobs replace Harvester spawns, and they replace overseer spawns, so that means an enemy that is a threat just gets replaced by a big meatball that isn't and it just made the faction even more focused around "Throw gas or sentry and leave to do objective" since none of the common enemies can punish that and it isn't satisfying enough to actually fight the infinite hoard.

>>536326140
autocannon, DMRs, strafing run, AT weaponry would dominate the firefights while the troll department would embrace cheesing arc weaponry such as clipping tesla towers into buildings

What's a good Eravinmode loadout? Looking forward to the ODST warbond for the stealth

>>536326140
diligence probably, anything with insane ergo that can one shot.
Airburst would be a strong contender, de-escalator would be good too.

Cluster eagle and throwing airburst to buy space, n then either shield pack or supply pack.

lobby?

>>536334142
eagle strike, hellbomb pack, AMR, jetpack/warp pack
if bots I use smoke nades if I wanna drop aggro. Don't do much stealth, but it's pretty fun to play off of team and give them covering fire. Also run scorcher for quick burst damage and back shots.

>>536334261
doko

is the Scythe or Sickle better?

>>536333378
>>536333738
I meant the other guy. Just some random fan?

>>536334435
scythe is just better

>>536334435
scythe for bots, sickle for bugs

>>536334435
both are really just ok, the scythe has pinpoint accuracy but a slightly slower time to kill compared to an actual gun, the latter is stuck in scope hell but it does ok. i'm holding out hope for a primary talon desu

>>536334435
scythe if you can aim
sickle for aimlets

>>536334435
Scythe is a marksman rifle and the Sickle is an assault rifle.

Nigger if it chugs that hard at 1080, even on a 4060 it's fucking over.

>>536334435

sickle are good on bug
there's your answer, don't just listen to botniggers judging both guns based on their preferred faction

>>536335508
Not to mention that's with dlss on

every weapon is good on bots because they're a shit faction

Step back for a second and accept the fantasy that you are handed the arrowhead wand, You can create a faction out of your own whims and asthetic wants.

What would be the theme?

>>536335508
>>536335595
ultra always runs like shit no matter the game and it's nearly indistinguishable from High

>>536335673
robots but cooler

>>536335473
it's an old build, and the hellbomb can be swapped out I just used it for jammers.
One extra tip, if you throw strategems onto things, go prone and break LOS. If the enemy doesn't see you they will walk towards the beacon and stay on low alert. Once they get hit, they typically go to the position you threw it from. Bots tend to call even if they haven't found you though.

Also if you want to be really precise with your orbital barrages. drag your marker on your mini map and it will tell you how far away the point is. Because max range is 45 meters when throwing, you can be EXTREMELY accurate with your throws and get the beacon smack center in the compound. Nearly guaranteeing it clears the POI each time. Throwing arm can also help a ton for this pushing you up to 65 meter throws.

>>536335673
robutts and wayyfus I can sex

Speaking of Sickle
>no big heatsink upgrade
WHY?

>>536335673
Demons. Like literal demons from hell.
Just so people can still say super earth is the bad guys.

Deldar or Kroot could be cool though.

>>536335832
because in hd1 it was basically the only assault rifle you'd ever use aside from maybe the justice

>>536288071
My go to solo/carry loadout for D10 squid:

Deadeye/Any primary (Deadeye one headshots all overseers)

Crisper (HIGHLY efficient for voteless and fleshmob.)

120mm for reinforcement call ins

Gas Dog / Warp Pack (Gas dog is incredible for fleshmob since it'll blind and confuse them. Make sure to stick close to the host so the bug doesnt occur)

Commando / AWP / Laser Cannon (AWP is an underdog for squid, it 4 taps harvesters and one shot overseers on the head AND one taps observers. It also 4-5 shots stingrays.)

MG Sentry (Squids have incredible hearing and an MG sentry can literally bait the whole colony, making your life easier.)

Basically you want something to one shot or quickly kill overseers before they notice you, something efficient to kill the fleshmob and voteless and something to deal Harvester/Stingrays easily.

>>536336042
You should try timed flame nades.
They're suuuuuper good against voteless and are basically crisper and a half. Hell flame nades in general got buffed insanely hard.

>>536335673
A cross between demons and the Umbra from WH40k. Make them unpredictable as all hell, appearing out of nowhere, teleporting and displacing seemingly randomly, constantly changing in shape and size, and with no easily discernible range or pattern to their attacks (distance or breadth).
But before all that, I want the squiggers fixed so they play like in HD1, where they disrupted team cohesion, movement, and such.

Look who's back

Back again

Jet Brigade

Back again

Fuck I love the jeet brigades, all I ever need is purifier and commando. Comfy as fuck.

Easiest sub faction in the game.

>Jeet Brigade on Curia.
NIGGER

As a upcoming xbot player what faction is the easiest to take on?

>>536335673
I would make a tree hugging Na'Vi ripoff and I would add powersuit stratagems that would be a cross between the power lifter from Aliens and the AMP suit from Avatar. Also I'd make it so that the mission maps would be these long long jungle valleys with impassible terrain with cliffs pockmarked with little Viet Cong holes for the bliggers to pop out of

>>536336379
For consoles, probably Bugs.

>>536336379
It's Bugs > Bots > Ayys. Though for Ayys it's more of a knowledge check, because you can technically beat them with low level stratagems, as long as you avoid a modifier.

CEO of Mica, developer of Girls Frontline. You've probably seen the doll model replacements here and there. Not that you could make a warbond out of them since they use real world guns even when they're heavily tarted up in the sequel. And players running around as dolls really wouldn't fit, not even the military dolls since those are too obviously full robot.

>>536337651

3/4

So they said the halo warbond wasn't part of the regular release schedule.
So are we getting a real warbond or are they just releasing the killzone warbond and pretend like they actual released 2 warbonds and we should praise them for it?

>>536338265
I mean, Killzone by itself would require some extra goodies like another weapon to cook up with a full Warbond release. But all things considered, I doubt Killzone would be releasing something soon to the Halo warbond.

>>536337349
full

>>536338446
>goodies like another weapon to cook up with a full Warbond release
nah
two armors, three weapons, one support weapon
for comparision, gaylo is four weapons and two armors
killzone shit was designed with being released as a warbond at first

>>536338446
Killzone had 3 guns, a support weapon, and 2 armoursets.
That's better than halo, you trade a pistol for a support, except halo gets a car/mech/hellpod skin.

>where they disrupted team cohesion, movement, and such.
Of all the things they had, this is probably one thing they actually do currently pretty consistently. Just the fleshmobs alone will prevent anyone locking down a corridor.

>>536338947
>>536339023
what's orbital precision strike good for on squids?

>>536336379
Bots kinda stay still a bunch, bugs and ayys are in your face constantly.

Bugs are the beginner faction though. As always I recommend bringing rockets for heavies. They're the best beginner tool.

>>536339203
killing harvesters once their shield is down and destroying parked ships

>>536338951
This. To his credit these last two MOs were pretty alright. They've been steadily improving albeit slightly

>>536339203
UFOs, certain objectives, opening up holes in colony walls

>>536339150
what's a fleshmob?

>>536339203
Blowing holes in walls. Sieging disruptor towers. Nuking fleshmobs if you can get them to sit near the beam. It's also a low cooldown ish consistent orbital that's pretty flexible. Always nice to have in the pocket.

Expendable Anti Tank are honestly the go-to for any newbie or a player not sure if they wanna specialize in any particular heavy-type combat. It's hard for me to want to figure on alternative options when it gets the job done so well. Biggest problem is the brief second of arming it to aim, I've eaten shots from bots too many times prepping an otherwise perfect shot in that brief moment.

The bots would give us defector armor sets that let you play as a bot. They had been planted in deep cover in cyberstan since before it was cyberstan, but once they created their singularity with the (unbeknownst to the bots) aid of the demons, they had to flee.

>>536338780
If you have auto cannon that will handle the faction for you by itself. Bring mg sentries for overseers and you're good buddy.

The main trick is just picking as much damage constantly. Once you hit the threshold for kill shit you're good.
Fire and gas are both good too but I think you don't unlock those for a bit.

Don't let the glowy guys call you, and try and funnel shit through chokes.

>>536339989
here's an idea
an entire faction of Stalkers, except instead of being invisible, they camp POIs and objectives and then ambush you while constantly diving for cover rather than just bumrushing the player; think whatever you want for a motif/design in the concept

>>536340060
It's an okay strategem. It does get out classed by specialist strategems and the 500 when upgraded. But it's a good start.

for the 4th faction I want it to be mixed bugs, bot, and squids

>>536340139

So let me get this straight.
>kill 1.000.000.000 illuminates

I'm not angry, just confused. Who thinks that was a good idea? Nobody wants to play squids for several reasons, and now you give them one big fat reason to not play squids.

>>536338780
As the other posters mentioned, you can deal with the ayys with just a basic liberator + machine gun. Just make sure to absolutely avoid any operation with the leviathan blockade modifier like the plague because that will ruin your day and then some.

>>536340616
I did a few squid missions with it, and it's honestly really obnoxious.
I usually time out the mission, and either it just gives me more mission time or forces me to afk while I wait.
That's not to mention how blitz are bugged to give 1/3 exp

>>536340139
Stalker only stratagem, where they wear maid outfits laced with shock collars and citronella sprays to shinty their domestication, and get dropped in via pelican in a big cage of 5-6

There is nothing more satisfying than throwing a 380, walking away and hearing it clear the heavy nest. Same with walking barrages towards POIs far away.

>>536340225
That’s my idea for the hellraiser faction, they would be barely recognizable though when pooled.
Just as the cenobites could be related to the squid rather than SE on visual inspection, more than the serial numbers would be filed off. that guy mentioned the naavi and now all I can think about is something like that or basic alien greys/kaminoans with Shope papilloma growths and implanted torture implements.

>>536340706

gotcha

How much collision damage do exosuits deal?
FRVs???

>it's that one poi with the stims on the right, the grenade on the left and the machine gun, 5? Ammo boxes and eat rocket

It's funny but I'm always happy to see that poi. There's always something in it I want.
Last mission I had one ship left, no explosives to blow it up for a blitz. I had to find that poi for the ear and that cleared for me. Was super satisfying.

Update
It is this bad.
If you go in with 50% Call-in modifier, you're sitting there for almost 7 minutes.
The most boring part of every mission because more than often you lose the gamble and get a "nothing ever happens" extraction. And even IF you get spawns coming closer to you, its the squids. They have ONE unit that calls in reinforcements, and usually it doesnt get to spawn because it gets shot down before that.

I'm all up for negative modifiers affecting missions as a form of making things more difficult, but there's a difference between being tedious and being actually challenging.

>>536342740
Honestly its made for kill padding, just now I had barely killed anything on D10 and most of my kills were just survival on the extract point since enemies keeps spawning towards you

>>536342446
I look like this.

>>536342694
you need a citizen raiting of A+ or higher

OMG HE’S KILLING ALL OF THE HEAVILY ARMORED ENEMIES!! L-LEAVE SOME FOR THE REST OF US DUDE!

>Get kicked from several SOS that had just one guy
Why do you even have them up?

how do i aura farm in this game?

>>536343182
Statistically speaking, what would be the best mission to killpad in the first place?
Bots and bugs it seems a bit more obvious, by going into a normal mission and keep calling in enemy drops.
Squids, technically the same, but I'm not certain if shit matters. They spawn 20 voteless around every corner once youre inside a city.

why do people aim for the spindly legs instead of the big glowing eye center mass?

>>536343996
Because the legs are the weakspot and the eye isn't. I know, I know, swedish quality design.

>>536343996
Legs are weakpoints and are easier to break + hit than the small eye weakspot.
The eye also transfers damage directly to the main health pool, while legs dont need to be bothered by that.

>>536343996
Yout think the big glowing eye is the weakpoint?
You fell for swedish trickery.

three more days until the new content give it up for three more days for new content

>>536344381
I think-- is it-- is it the head..?

>>536344431
You DO have 3k scamcredits for the warbond + scamstore, right?

>>536344595
You need 4000 SC for two warbonds + Scamstore. Even if they don't both release on 26th, we're getting two warbonds within like a week or two.

>>536345586
>hold out from ODST FOMO and wait for the new warbond

im playing the long game here

>reviewbombs turn into firebombing
frankly, my dear anon, i dont give a damn about what happens to this game. i hop in to shoot some clankers or bugs, but everything else, i have no input over.
if the swedes think they can get away with something very stupid, they can try.

how many more of these filler MO's are we going to get i need more content

I suppose that's enough supply pods for the time being.

>>536346290
freedoms greetings you black monkeys,
you wanted more content, so we're bringing you more content, in forms of downloadable content.
we also removed the option to buy warbonds with SC, only through warbond tokens, which you need to pay real money for.
asailam halaikum and glory to somalia

>>536346393
I would be more willing to pay someone to do the supply pod hack than scamrowhead

Realistically, what are we getting on the 26th?

WINNING WINNING WINNING

>>536346689
odst warbond
downtime because of x-niggers
servers going to shit because x-niggers
A NEW STORY ARC or something but literally fucking nothing ever happens
more broken shit

What enemy would you want to be killed by the most?

>>536346890
impact damage

>>536346689
i think a pilot themed warbond was datamined, wasn't it?
>>536346890
seaf-chan!

>>536346689
worst case: ultra giga jank patch that ruins the xbawks launch and all the sweet Halo mods I hand picked for added immersion, pic related, also all the items will be spectacularly inferior to their SE equivalents
best case: stylish guns and armor that have decent performance + trailer for next not-legendary warbond which will finally be the long-range warbond to give me the Talon primary + missile silo pod
