>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.

Reposting from last night:
>A cross between demons and the Umbra from WH40k. Make them unpredictable as hell, appearing out of nowhere (or shadows, or floating distortions in the air), teleporting, shifting, and displacing seemingly randomly, constantly changing in shape and size, and with no easily discernible range or pattern to their attacks (distance, breadth, type of attack).
>Some/all units have weakness to light and light-based weapons (perhaps in a manner similar to creatures from Alan Wake?)
>Mission modifiers based on increasing darkness and miasma depending on level of difficulty, necessitating flashlight attachments, flare pistol, and illumination flare stratagems on higher difficulties
>Orbital laser literally being a brilliant God-ray piercing into the overwhelming darkness on D10
I think it would be cool if AH leaned into different factions necessitating drastically different loadouts, with many items/strategem that would otherwise be considered pointless on one front nearly indispensable on another.

the issue with this damn game is that there's something that's to me pretty interesting beneath it all but any critique to improve that base was smothered beneath AHHH JUST BUFF THE GUNS SO YOU CAN KILL EVERYTHING

the game STILL punishes you for fighting (but you can overpower that now by just wrecking everything) but stealth and disengaging still sucks and feels buggy as shit.

i'd love to fuck with actual tactics but they're not at all necessary in multiplayer and whenever the game is tough enough that tactics are required like solo d10 with a suboptimal loadout the game is kind of a clownshow

there should be a modifier which completely randomizes your stratagems every life

>>536461587
>2/10 baitpost

What's the hardest faction currently?

Yes, I am an aimlet. I intentionally choose weapons such as the Cookout, Breaker, Blitzer, Torcher, Flamethrower and Wasp, and then always take a Sentry and a Guard Dog because my ass couldn't precision plap the broad side of a barn.

>>536462330
incel corps

>>536461989
I'm being 100% real. Every design problem the game had was solved with a blunt force approach. It's genuinely a fucking bore played with friends more often than not and it's a mess if you try to stack the deck against yourself.

>>536462330
Solo D10 Illuminate or Squad D10 Incineration Corps in a city map (not mega city).

>>536462330
It might actually unironically be bugs. D10 bots is just about clicking heads, efficient use of AT and target priority, but with D10 bugs every breach has 3 chargers, 2 BTs and an impaler 200 meters off in the distance forcing you to relocate every 10 seconds. I barely die against bots but bugs consistently run me down to near 0 reinforces.

>>536462330
not bugs yet there's 15000 fuckers there for some reason

>>536462650
>but with D10 bugs every breach has 3 chargers, 2 BTs and an impaler 200 meters off in the distance

>>536462650
>1 RR clears all of those without resupplying

>>536379663
>>536379796
It's really hard to justify a 4th faction
Rebels? Automatons
Wild animals? Bugs
Zombies? Illuminate
Combine/Covenant? Illuminate
Magic cultists? Believe it or not, Illuminate, especially with the leaked cultist units

>>536456236
We're playing Gaylo now, 3/4, so send your gaymertag for funs, we're playin odst firefight, helldivers 2

>>536463051
>Magic cultists? Believe it or not, Illuminate
it's literally just how they should have been from the beginning, that is how they were in HD1

>>536463051
This.

Eagle-1 sucks cocks for super credits

>>536462330
incel corp (rushdown constellation specifically because it replaces all the zerkers with shotgun devs, scorchers with firebombers and a shit ton of war striders to flush you out/perma ragdoll you), illuminate repel fleet (pubbies will sandbag by not clearing spawners). bugs only ever becomes difficult if you solo it (because you lose out on boosters which change how the faction feels + alpha commander rage spawning)

>>536463192
I still think the zombie stuff is cool and thematic, but there really isn't any reason that they weren't able to be mutagenic slavers, AND space-magic cultists.

>>536462330
Terminids because their breaches spawn so many and last so long that a new breach can be called on the same position before the last one has even ended yet.

>>536463356
The only trace of Illuminate is the staff Overseer and Harvester. Everything else is more bugs or bots-like than actual Illuminate.

>>536463265
Eagle-1 looks like this

>>536462330
solo d10 illuminate
the issue is that there's a lot of enemies that just instantly home in on you or make it otherwise difficult to get out of combat. Bugs and bots you can get far by misleading patrols with grenades chucked into the distance while you do objectives- illuminate has
>drones, which just home in on you no matter where you are
>fighters, which start strafing you of nowhere no conditions required
>elevated overseers, which operate on normal rules but are almost impossible to shake once they're on you
>fleshwalls which will waste your time forever unless you have highly particular weapons that make dealing with other parts of the faction more difficult
>the spattering of voteless everywhere on the map
really just the whole faction is annoying to deal with solo

>>536463356
>still think the zombie stuff is cool and thematic
If we were ever going to get a 4th faction, it should have been a zombie faction
It would have been unique amongst the others, with a lot of potential for zombie specials and alien zombies and other freaky shit
Instead they just slapped that shit in with the illuminate and the result is their already shaky identity feels even looser

>>536462330
Squid's "Repel Fleet" with randos makes me sweat harder than anything else in this game every time. It's constant full throttle action the entire time with no breaks.

Will swiggers look at how nobody plays squids and rework them? Or will they ignore it and blame the players for not understanding the faction?

>>536463617
>Instead they just slapped that shit in with the illuminate and the result is their already shaky identity feels even looser
Evil spacemen abducting and doing experiments on people is a fairly natural progression imo. Even then, a zombie faction still wouldn't fit properly as a 4th faction, since terminids and gloom spores could easily fill that niche.

>>536463484
>Harvester
You know it's been a long time since it was released but Harvesters are one of the coolest units in the game. It's really a shame it's stuck in the meme faction.

>>536463407
you can solo a full 4 man lobby D10 back-to-back bug breach with 1 gas strike, 2 gas grenades, and 1 arc thrower
I know because I've done it. the only heavy that came out of it was a single fucking impaler at the very end. a pathetic joke of a faction.

>>536463316
note: bots impacting on dropships still hasn't been fixed

>>536463801
Cool

>>536463593
and it should speak for itself but anything that you can't deal with via stealth is a problem because it draw in everything else when you inevitably deal with them

>>536463356

>>536464086
>Teleports behind you

>>536463593
Emancipator is one of the best ways to clear solo Illuminate pretty painlessly. You basically just walk around, ignoring enemies, destroying ships, and stopping by main and side objectives to complete them. Extraction can get dicey if you can't kill the enemies fast enough.

>HURR DDURR HURRRRRR IF UR GOOD U CAN SOLO AND CARRY 3 NEWBIES EZ
No I am asking people who actually play the game. I can detect the moment someone enters a dive who isn't really up to the task without needing a crutch to lean on. Yeah it is only 5-10 extra minutes but it is just annoying that they are leeching off me. If they curbed their ability to jump into higher difficulty until they completed so many missions on each difficulty greater then 1 OP I would be satisfied. Right now just feels like we are going to be baby sitting pant shitting noisy toddlers through super sample missions fighting their incompetence more then the enemy,.

>this was the game that was going to kill helldivers 2
hilarious

>>536465260
I mean the stuff we have just absorbed over the year and change that isn't explicated stated or explained. Like how to bleed out bigger bugs works. Or the scrambler/jammer method of disposal. Hell even just how to read the map and where to go and whats important. It takes a long fucking time to just suck up all this knowledge we take for granted as common sense. Hence why lowbies in higher helldives are obvious. They just don't know what to do besides kill and follow a waypoint or other players. Basically glorified SEAF soldiers.

>>536465659
THEY LOOK JUST LIKE US!

>>536465596
Devs have stated that as long as they support the game it'll be a forever war.

>>536465541
Cluster. Almost always cluster.

There's basically no use case for Flak since the proxi fuse is so short that it will always explode on the first enemy in a group, rather than in the middle where you actually want it. Cluster is also basically impossible to team/self kill with since it's predictable (barring swedish non-euclidean geometric shenanigans)

>>536465726
I-I CAN'T SHOOT! THEY LOOK JUST LIKE HUMANS!!!

Why the fuck do bushes block your shots?

I like assult striders because I love seeing eruptor + stalwart niggers running for the hills

>>536465000
not really, most console players won’t reach the higher difficulties, and those who do usually bring "s tier" meta loadouts that cut down their liability. even then you can just turn off crossplay.

>>536463051
Automatons
>Shoots you. Some melee you.
Terminids
>Melees you. Some shoot you.
Illuminate
>Shoots and melees you.
There's no other combination left. There's no niche for a 4th faction to fill. Unless...

Realism(tm)

>liking things 'ironically'
>liking/doing things purely out of spite for others
Literal tranny behavior. Y'all need Jesus.

>>536466205
You'd just have it be
>sometimes melees you, sometimes shoots you
And have the actual threat be the environment. Like...plants...led by sexy plant women

>>536465541
Flak is only if you need the proxy trigger, which is only useful for shooting at groups of airborne targets and an air-det on close enemies that are silhouetted against open space. There are only three situations where you could want to use flak against airborne targets: Closely grouped Shriekers, Gunships, and Elevated Overseers. Against the vast majority of ground targets, just use Cluster mode and aim for the ground in the middle of the group.

>>536466374
My wife.

>>536466205
That's too reductionist. All three factions basically have to mob you to pose any threat anyway, so a 4th faction could theoretically focus on fewer numbers of more elite units.
There's also no enemies that buff eachother, a lack of any real controller enemies, very few mobile ones, like 2 area denial, and no enemies that can protect eachother.

>>536463176

>>536466710
>a 4th faction could theoretically focus on fewer numbers of more elite units.
A single Super Elite unit would either get mogged helplessly from range, be a toss up of who gets the first shot and instantly dies, be a "Take Down the Overship" kind of thing where it's more of a mission objective than an actual enemy, or simply have so many guns to cover it's weaknesses that it's basically no different than if it were to be escorted by a bunch of troopers.
There's a reason why a tank needs an escort, and why the Strider Convoy dies instantly without regular units to run interference. Even then, extra elites could very well just be a subfaction if they really wanted it to be.
>There's also no enemies that buff eachother, a lack of any real controller enemies, very few mobile ones, like 2 area denial, and no enemies that can protect eachother.
Regular Overseers should give an aura buff to Voteless that make them behave somewhat like Hunters, and a controller squid that creates shield walls to block your movement and protect their allies would be neat.

I'm leveling my friend through the game and I've never seen 3+ impalers spawn at roughly the same time at difficulty 6 before

You can blow up a bug hole or automaton fab of any size by walking into it with any integrated explosive armor

Okay but will Xbox players actually save us like the storyline Joel is setting up is meant to go? I thought no one was playing on the Xbone and all Xbox fans during this gen were just pc players using the gamepass?

No. The war is percentage based. Total numbers are irrelevant. It doesn't matter if there's 50 divers or 5 million.

>People genuinely think xniggerdivers will save us when this was all just an excuse for Joel to rape the playerbase to death in the galactic war.
All 3 of the high security cities are going to be under attack, leaving us with a choice to save one of the three. With "choice" being an illusion of course, because only the bug city will be saved when all the xniggers focus on that faction since it's the most beginner friendly.

>>536468319
I said so too while we were playing it... In my memory it didn't look so old. It's likely the game is carried by the atmosphere of the dark inner city streets and story. The daytime environments never felt right

>take heavy barrage/bombardment kit
>okish
>take fast recharge low kill but tactically useful in all situation kit
>highest kills lowest death fewest if any friendly fucking full blown non-stop sprint mobility and fist fucking every objectives as quickly as I arrive

I don't know if this is purposefully by design but being fast and adaptable is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better then going for kill streaks.

>>536468106
>can't easily flip over a pebble and explode, killing the entire squad instantly
What's the point of it?!?

I always find it funny how tryhard people get on higher difficulties in games like this.
like all I have to do is play off-meta/""bad"" strategems/weapons and it makes people go insta-hateboner, no matter how well you use them.

and especially if you use ones that have a high chance of friendly fire like the Arc/flamethrowers, even if you spend all game shooting away from teammates directions, dipshits will sprint right in front of you when you have been shooting near non-stop for 5+ minutes and then blame you for their mistakes

>>536468491
>What's the point of it?!?

>>536468319
Honestly, all the Halo games kinda aged badly if taken by their Xbox/360 original versions. Playing OG H2 is like curdled milk in performance and everyone looking like dogshit due to losing the stencil shadow lighting the game was intended to have. MCC smooth framerates cheat so much that it's too easy to overlook the shortcomings of the age (and some port issues), unless you're looking at 4 which is just so greebled overdetailed that it looks fucked.

>>536462330
Squids hands down.
>oh but I brought the hard counter-

Like no shit, that's the only way to make them playable is just completely shut them down.
Bots you can bring stupid shit like breaker spray and pray, click heads and have a good time.
Bugs are harder but just bringing a gun that clicks fast will help you, you don't need to bring an extremely sweaty build to counter anything.

Ayys > Bugs > Bots

Beating squids isn't bringing the right equipment, it's bringing the sweatiest loadout that can out DPS their insane spawns and kill the shit constantly trying to kill you.
It is the most meta required faction in the game because they will rape your butt otherwise. Honestly it's no wonder no one wants to play squids.

>>536468491
does anyone have the link to the korean forums where they post these?

>>536468319
I just played it last week and it was honestly a lot of fun.
I couldn't imagine paying full price for it though.

This game would be really cool if they added Artillery ground forces. Call in abandoned outpost and turn them into Artillery/mortar based "Safe zone" You get two call reinforcement should said base gets overunned. Actually, it would be better if abandoned seaf artillery / SAM sites gets commandered by seaf units, but raises chances of being overunned. Infinite ammo

Do we know the Halo weapons stats?
Apologies if they've already been posted itt but I couldn't see it anywhere

>>536468825
No concrete stats yet, but we do know that the assault rifle is medium pen, and everything else is light pen.

>>536468825
We don't know shit beyond some basics like suppressors on the Pistol and SMG, medium penetration with the AR, light pen with the Shotgun. Plus their canon ammo counts brought over and shown in the trailer. Plus the AR not having a sight for first person. So if they suck cock or are comparable to upgraded weapons is entirely up in the air.

>>536468821
honestly, one thing I want is for the maps in general to feel more like warzones.
like give us skyboxes with space battles happening above us,friendly/hostile air forces flrying through or above the map having dogfights.
and occasionally like, non-city maps with SEAF ground troops around/fighting or friendly tanks/turrets in certain objectives/types of areas

>>536469228

>>536462330
Hardest Faction: Incel Corps

Hardest Mission type: Squiggers Repel Invasion

even now I still get pubbies who fails Repel Invasions on D10, its the only mission type that's still a 50-50 success on randoms

>>536469108
In terms of iron sights my guess it's basically meant to be a late weapon tradeoff of better ergonomics by a notable degree, but less aim efficiency than other scopes/sights, so it's kind of like the "you're good with this gun, now make the best of those ergonomics with a handicap" ordeal. It's still retarded in terms of normal logic's sake though. A better idea would be to have iron sights as a default alternative but they're kinda super basic, and "optimized" irons or some tacticool night sights stuff are a later option.

>>536469208
Putting cheap, disposable units in strategic areas after helldivers clear them to make it as costly as possible for the enemy to reclaim is good actually.

>>536468821
Frontline battles/boss battles that function like raids would be a great way to implement this.

ODST Pistol is basically H2's pistol, it's dogshit for body damage, but with a built-in scope it became a headshot monster. If someone's shields were down, it one-taps anyone in a dome hit.
We're not getting the scope, instead they're emphasizing the suppressor that wasn't actually an effect in the original game, just a sound/style choice.

I was fucking around with the plasma accelerator a bit after we all agreed that it was shit last thread. It got me thinking:

If they wanted a "forever war" then they should've designed the map and lore in such a way that it is easyto explain enemies retaking territory or re-establishing themseves without needing simultaneous level 40+ defenses and a liberation cap and mega cities liberation penalties.

Any planet with some added Flavor TextTM is a nothingburger. They (AH) will try to make it sound more important to take or defend a planet, but as stated before in this general - taking or losing a planet has no impact on the player directly, you only change which planets you can dive on now.

My idea of fixing it would be establishing planets that give permanent boosts to helldivers, as long they can keep it. Those buffs might be shorter support weapon / backpack call-ins, sentries getting more ammo, for example.
At the same time, giving players one free stratagem related to said flavor planet.
You're fighting over Claorell, which is closely associated with the Dick Sucking Station? Free 380mm, or shorter 380mm CD.
Achenar Secundus? Free FRVs and shorter CDs for them.

>woah all youre doing is give people free toys or buffs for fighting over certain planets
Yeah, and it would make said planets way more interesting and engaging to fight over, than for the sake of painting the town (or whats left of it) in super earth colours. AH chooses to give it flavor text but have nothing of substance be associated with it, aside from debuffs that matter little if at all.

>>536470581
DCS honestly feels great if you're not expecting it to snap fire for you. Angled foregrip no muzzle attachments and you will have 0.75 sway. Feels really good.

>>536465000
There are like 10 times as many PC players as PS5 players, I genuinely don't see it changing very much, everyones acting like there will be some huge influx of divers but I doubt there will be more than 10,000 of them at a time at launch which will drop to about 1,000 after 2 weeks

Well, the current MO's are kill orders so more divers would help. We absolutely would be more ineffective for a month or two though when it comes to liberation.
That is, if Joel doesn't graciously increases our liberation rates to coincide with the in-lore explanation of a fleet expansion. Surely that dirty albino ape would allow us more agency after giving the enemies so many planets!?

I miss the automaton ritual poster we had last year.
Not the AI one, but the other one. I can't remember what she looks like anymore, or what the post was about, but I remember them.
I've been here for far too long. I've seen regulars stop being here. The List matters none anymore, as the majority has left the game or rarely if ever plays.

I've seen things, you Cadets wouldn't believe. The TCS activation, defense and deactivation on Meridia. I've watched comrades die to a single Rocket Trooper projectile in the steppes of Ubanea. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the tropical rainstorms of Super Earth.
Time, to dive

god I love slugger on illuminate, popping overseer heads is perfect. Honestly I like how challenging the faction is, they're bullshit but it's a good kinda bullshit that actually rewards all the tools you have.

Also solo fagging makes this game dramatically more fun. Wish higher lobby counts were more challenging.

I only care about the war when we're winning. When we're losing and Joel demands we play it out because our actions sure do matter when it's obvious as fuck it doesn't, I just go play another game instead. It's the same idea with leviathans being designed to be avoided. Well okay, I'll just avoid them and not play missions with them. Good job, Arrowhead.

Flak has longer range. That is its use case. Pseuds won't tell you that because they don't know how to play the game

>>536476224
Cluster has a "short-timed" and impact fuse, Flak has much more range but also a proximity fuse

>>536465541
Cluster air detonates at 65 meters and on contact. This is important because you can detonate above groups of enemies roughly 40-50 meters away if you aim up. If you practice it you can do some.cool custom airbursts of your own. It's also a lot safer to fire this way.

Flak is long range sniping and anti air.
It has proximity detonation so be careful with that.

What happened to the jeets? Did they really just take Curia and fucked off?

>Orbital 120mm Salvo
>just shoots three 120mm shells at the target area
>cooldown of 80 seconds

How useful would it be? Wider destructive radius than OPS, less building destroying potential due to spread, and not susceptible to being blocked by AA Emplacements unlike Eagle Airstrike. Just a small slice of Orbital 120mm Barrage with a cooldown that isn't murderous.

what's worse than the illuminate being badly designed in terms of gameplay is how boring and lazy zombies are as enemies

>>536477206

>>536479491
>i want the same stratagem but it has Red-40 in it, not Orange-1

>>536478835
It requires one shot to the head. Headshotting overseers is ridiculously tedious if you don't have an instant kill primary or secondary.
But really bots are the "elites that reward good aim" faction since light pen headshots all their infantry and even hulks go down to a few headshots with some small arms.

It would have been as simple as just making their projectiles big, slow explosives, you know, like their other projectiles. The spotlight would then telegraph their attack for your response instead of just being "hide behind a building or die".
They lead you anyway, so then you'd get punished for not paying attention and dodging.
Even their other unit already clearly telegraphs its attack that's fair to dodge, what the fuck were they thinking?

people only really come back for major releases and warbonds. They play for 5 minutes and then remember that no new gameplay has been added, so they leave. Because of this there's no incentive to make the game better, only to push out more things to sell that look new but don't add anything to the tired old gameplay loop.

Democratic Detonation is generally considered the best starter premium warbond, if you have that already the Warp Pack from Control Group will let you credit farm solo and is pretty damn useful in a fight if used well, but everything else in that warbond is kinda crap.

After that, just pick what you like.

1. sharpen your knife. crushing the cell walls with a blunt knife is what releases the crying compounds
2. get a desk fan or something to blow air at you while you're cutting the onyo so that the fumes don't waft up into your eyes. anything with ventilation will work, so like in front of one of those window mounted air conditions, an open window if it's windy, etc.
the anon mentioning the range hood is onto something, just put your cutting board on top of your stove (while it's off and the burner is cold, retard) and cut your onyos there

Continually working your jaw while cutting onions prevents the cry reaction for some reason. Chewing gum works, I used to cut onions at work where gum wasn't allowed so I'd just gently chew my own cheeks. Or you can cut them underwater.

They should make the other devastator variants similarly dangerous or make them more resistant to suppressive fire protocol. Also shriekers being made of concrete and causing massive impact damage when their corpses hit the ground was fun.

Why are the bots or squids still using adjacent system supply lines to siege a planet when we’re using Alcubierre warp drive? Do they not have those?

>>536498182
You won't be tanky. If you want to be tanky you take the medic armor and spam stims.
Heavy armor is kinda neat because there are a couple edge cases that only heavy armor (and fortified medium, but oh well) will stop you from getting one-shot but I don't think there is any for fortified heavy armor barring some crazy edge cases.

>use WASP for the first time ever
>lock on to patrol, shoots
>missile goes wild after being fired, hitting rocks and pillars
Damn... but it does rape jeet bots aside from war striders

>>536499690
Aside from looks, the only reason I can think of to run heavy armor is to have 150 armor-rating while getting some passives like Fortified, Engineering Kit, the medic crutch, or Rainbow Six Siege Season 69 Liberation of Israel Ready.
Extra Padded medium armor already gives you 150 AR while letting you move at medium speed.

Its less of a detriment on bots because the majority of times you die are insta-kills that ignore your armor, or you get ragdolled just to die to impact damage.

the last week alone all three warfronts have been overrun by like 3 planets a day. We won a gambit to mitigate a bit of it but as punishment the DSS has been shut down and they basically "that didn't count"'d us to push for a big whoa-ment when the Xbox divers come to save the day.

>>536468367
>All 3 of the high security cities are going to be under attack, leaving us with a choice to save one of the three
Probably give us enough time to save two of them and the remaining faction gets to have a go at Super Earth, so the Xchuds can experience it. But knowing how little anyone gives a single fuck about the squids, it's going to be yet another illuminate invasion. Afterwards we get to have some filler missions cleaning all this shit up again.

>>536503994
The HP is not necessarily the problem that needs to be solved. Bigger issues include
>Spawning at Difficulty 1
>Spawning as frequently as a regular enemy when they should be on the same level as hulks, tanks or impalers
>Becoming immune to all stun, slowdown, knockback or crowd control when a head is popped
>phasing through solid objects
>not taking significant enough bonus damage for popping heads or breaking legs
>Not being able to neuter them by shooting off their arms
At present it's just a 6000HP DPS check with nothing you can do to stop it except do 6000 damage before it can reach you

The funniest part about "media literacy" fags is how they're less media literate than the "rubes".

>>536510180
GPMG is still useful at medium range though, just crouch.

get fucked tranny

They could be cool about it and make it so that wearing the halo helmet would put up a unique reticle when aiming the halo AR

The MMG has more ammo, 175 rounds per mag box, and has the God's given perfection of variable spread depending on your stance and TPS/ADS choices. It can be razor accurate or fire in various cones for maximum single-target/crowd deletion.

This is like saying the Reprimand would have put the MMG out of business, when all people want the AR to be is a beefier Reprimand considering it's bigger.

Why do so few divers use the Servants of Freedom masks?
Personally I think they're kino as fuck

So are we getting two warbonds on the 26th?

>>536510845
they don't match with a whole lot of sets and tbqh imo they don't fit the aesthetic or style of the game
also the hood folds lopsidedly on that one I don't like it

Killzone had 2 parts.
What do (You) want from a hypothetical ODST part 2?
For me? I want the Battle Rifle and Target Designator, it would work like this: aim at the enemy using the targeting laser until a beep signifies that you're locked on, this lock on would have the following effects: targeted enemy takes more damage from all sources via lowering its armour rating by 1, targeted enemy becomes hard aggroed onto the player who designated it and any Orbital abilities thrown by the player who designated the enemy would then target the enemy that was locked onto with pinpoint accuracy(OPS hitting weakspot, gatling trails the enemy, bombardments always have atleast one round per salvo hit the enemy dead-on etc). To balance this. It has 3 charges. Ammo gives no charges, resupply gives 2 and if the player dies before the targeted enemy does, the debuff disappears.
If this is a shit idea then just add a Mortar Emplacement from Halo Wars 2 or something, we just NEED a Halo Stratagem of some kind.

>>536510845
This combination hits like crack desu

What is the AMR /for/? It does lacking durable dmg, the autocannon or the railgun do its job better, and it doesn't have enough ammo to offset any of this.

>>536511359
>Killzone had 2 parts.
because it was meant to be a warbond like the ODST crossover
in total it has about the same amount of content - replacing the stratagem with a secondary
there won't be one

>>536511359
No. Killzone as a warbond had one part, it was split into two for superstore. ODST is a warbond from get-go.

>>536511359
Rocket launcher. Maybe a warthog turret emplacement you could break off and take with you. It could even pull double duty as the minigun people want

>>536504643
3/4, we're waiting for (You) anon

>>536510845
Because I kitbash the various Masters of Ceremony gear instead.

Why dont they just lower fleshmob hp to 4500 so its still tanky enough to eat 2 AT shots but not be as cancer to bring down with regular fire

>>536508669
I like it anon :)

>>536510845
because it makes me think of some twinkdiver I want to fuck in the ass

>>536512612
because they're broken and they're supposed to take more dmg from explosives

>>536502145
Maybe her VA is on strike like the service technician one

>>536508543
Super earth victory

>on strike
what now...

>>536513341
they can just hire me to be a fat male reporter or something
I can do a funny wisconsin voice or something, please AH just do some real content

>>536514050

2 times in 2 days I have committed suicide by pressing lmb too soon when swapping to gp-31 while prone.

I hate this shitty DMs awful obvious railroading so much

do you fucks actually look for solutions to the shit you complain or do you complain for the sake of complaining

anyone farming sc right now otherwise im gonna make a lobby

>>536515772
I already farmed and now punishing myself by playing squids

>Bots and squids are 2 planets away from SE
Chances of both of them attempting to take SE? Multi-faction warfare on a single planet was tested a while ago, wasnt it?

>>536515607
You are on 4chan, specifically /vg/. We all have women mentality here.

>>536515607
Solutions to what?
If you mean >>536514897 it's a coding issue and the swedes need to code better
If you mean >>536515339 the swedes need to be less of a shit DM and allow for player freedom
