>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?
HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 crossplay, co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC, PS5 and XBone Series X/S where players fight against hordes of alien insects, robots and squibs 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 and braindead allies. With enough successful operations, a planet can be defended or liberated, and the player is based and 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, Madoka Magicka.

nerfdivers are nigdivers, it's science

Dearest Miquella...

never forget that this is the nerftranny you're arguing with
ignore it, filter it

>>538111172
Even on d10 running next to jammer is laughable easy. Just sprint past everything and stim when low or running out of stamina. Bots are slow to react to you. Only turrets are dangerous.

here is how you nerf the coyote
>give the scorcher two or three more magazines
boom, done, coyote is irrelevant now

>>538111313
holy bootlicker...

So what is it with this hat? helm? headwear? that attracts genuine homosexuals so much? Nearly everyone I see rocking this thing is obviously flamboyant to some degree. No judgement, I'm genuinely curious.

>>538111313
How do you have so much issues with fortress and mega nest? Only time meanest is problem is when they have multiple titan holes and big boys overwhelm you. Just run in and close holes. Easy?
Fortress is even easier once you get in. Hard part is getting in. But with luck. You can snipe most fabricators far away with eat/quasar/rr/commando/chair.
What is going on with peoples brains. How do you play this much and don't start to put toghetor How you should do things.

>>538111524
why doesn't white hot plasma set things on fire or melt chainlink fences anyways?

Am I a nerftranny or bufftranny if my main take is that they should buff enemies to be stronger?
>more attacks
>better trackings
>faster movements
>more health on bosses like the Hivelord (150k >250k)
>more enemies
>better maps loadouts
>more difficult nests, outposts to clear

>>538111340
still takes a stratagem slot. the problem with the ultimatum nuking jammers was you kept it in your pocket and reloaded it with ammo boxes. there's nothing wrong with a one shot stratagem with a 3 minute cooldown being able to blow up jammers

>>538104667
one more final get in here >>538104667

You are a faggot and it's telling that your first thought was some homosexual fantasy in response, lmao

>>538111794
there was nothing about what I said that implied homoeroticism
you imagined it all on your own
you seem to be doing that a lot

>>538111557
Resident faggot here. Ceremonial uniforms are sexy as hell. My boyfriend and I both run it.

>>538111586
The 60-day patch and its consequences have been disastrous for the Helldiver corps. Imagine a lvl150 player that doesn't take cover, doesn't play around enemy defenses, doesn't really aim or crouch/prone, doesn't often solve his problems without a shitton of red pokeballs to throw. Chasing mass appeal is a mistake. The masses are trash and will never excel at anything.

>>538111641
I get why ultimatum was nerfed. I don't get why silo can't take out jammers or towers. If you find them anoying enough. Diffrence between silo and portable hellbomb is 1min running. Silo has no use how it is now.
If it didn't take support slot. If it wasn't fragile. If you could seed them around as they come and use them one by one. Then it would be fine. Imagine having 10 rocket's ready to go at end of round.
Now it would be good.
I tried it against striker nests and bug hives. Frankly you have better tools against them. Sure you can kill biletitan with it. But so can rr or thermite and few shots.
Of you want big booms. Take 500kg and hellbomb

>>538111634
Nerftranny is a term for retarded faggots that want us the player to go back to launch state where primaries didnt kill anything, a charger could facetank a RR a dedicated backpack anti tank weapon, most stratagems that werent anti tank like the flamer, laser cannon, stalwart, MMG sucked absolute dick, armor didnt protect you and the only useful call in was the 500kg bomb because everything else didnt kill anything or took 10 years to arrive.

Aka if your some fag that thinks every weapon should be a useless piece of shit then yeah but wanting the current lobotimized enemies to go back to how they were now that we can actually fight back isnt really asking for a nerf.

>>538111634
It's called being based.

>>538111990
You dont even need to crouch. Just keep moving. Never stay put. Only time you make stand is when objective ask for it.
Use your turrets to kill enemies or distract them so you can keep moving. Run and gun.
Only hunters and stalkers are fast and reactive enough to react to you if you just stay mobile. You can literally just sprint next to enemy objectives and blow it up. Only time it fails is when they call reinforcement on top of you.
With warp it's even easier. Your job is to clear objectives. Not kill as many enemies as possible.

Why can't I use flak in the emancipator?

>>538112032
I keep telling people, shit like this is done exclusively to gaslight and bully people that enjoy long-range playstyles. If Alexus were permitted to, he'd range cap all weapons at 200m like the laser cannon.

>>538090889
Based Holo appreciator. If I were available I'd join.

I hate diggers so much

>"I haven't been really showing you the true side of me."

>>538112587
obsessing over what you're going to target with it, making it clog your support weapon slot, only to be disappointed by it being destroyed or landing to not much effect, followed by realizing its cooldown is too long to make it worth it

idk if i would say it's any good on the whole but i have been greatly enjoying using the missile silo to dunk on factory striders every time one of them shows up

>>538112487
Buy a fucking ad you red headed nigger

>538112487
>41:52
You don't even try to check your six. If you had more situational awareness you wouldn't have bled to death at the end. Might as well play the game with your monitor off, sloptuber. Also, buy an ad.

You think they'll add caves to other biomes or are we just gonna have to wait for them to let us back onto the hive worlds in a couple of weeks

>>538112487
And this guy's just regularly soloing. I've been trying to solo deathless and it is pure fucking pain. There's always at least one thing your loadout can't cover and it'll fuck your ass if you get unlucky enough.

Ok im over the dragon bullshit and the rupture niggers. Going back to the bot front

>>538112690
they're an explosive primary check, but you can get away with just the med pen check if you're not the host or spend the entire match running away very quickly

If you are the host you literally cannot avoid their attack

>>538112904
I would say that it's now story driven that super earth's foray into the gloom is now permanent, but when megacities launched they turned them off for like a week afterwards, so idk lol

>>538112587
That thing can act like a Stinger, so you can effectively track and kill dragoons. Other than that it's a slightly more powerful 500

>>538112487
Is this scripted? Just checked the comments and this dude just got the invisible bleed bug like 20 times or something. So annoying.
As long as he makes nerftrannies mad I think hes based

>>538112006
Glad you're having fun. If you have a publicly visible session, people can join if you're mid-mission and they search missions on the planet. If it's friend's only, they'll see a green indicator on the world map, and only by invite if it's invite only. If you copy/paste a link from here into your browser, it drops you into a lobby and onto the planet the lobby's in; if you do as the information shows for hosting, and your Steam is set to online, people can join your lobby directly but only via that link if you're just onboard your ship. Missions require doing the main objectives whether you then exfiltrate successfully or not - you can exfiltrate at the end of the timer without completing them but you'll still fail (but salvage samples at least). Blue missions are optional side objectives that give more experience and cash.

>0 lobbies
ded game

Warriors shouldn't 1 shot limbs. Especially if you have extra limb health.

>>538111634
Wanting higher difficulties to feel more difficult is fine. The issue is that the people that claim to want this are so shit at balance that it might as well be a crime, and no one takes their babbling seriously because they just sound like a retarded person that wants the game to feel like ass.

>>538113245
Isn't it night time for amerifats?

how the fuck does this make any sense? why is joel such a nigger and won't let us liberate planets passively?

Peace between Super Earth and the Automatons!

>>538113320
>is joel such a nigger and won't let us liberate planets passively?
Yes. You'll ruin his "super important" plot of liberating planets that could just as easily be any other planet.

>>538112319
Probably. Kinda shitty of them to play on d6 and then dap on long range players at every turn.
It's sad how bad every sniper option in game is. Best sniper in game is chair.

miku would be really happy if you joined the lobby anon

I feel like I'm either being gaslit by people saying that the speargun is good, or they're just playing with reliable teammates who take care of every heavy for them. Fuck durable damage.

>>538113475
still 3/4 let's go

>>538114027
The Speargun IS good. It closes bug holes, it area denies chokepoints, it gasses breaches, gasses patrols, and it staggers heavies for you to finish with your thermite or ultimatum or red.

>>538114027
hits hard enough to solve most problems, can cc anything it doesn't outright kill, it's a solid gun. Not BEST IN SLOT but it's fun.

>>538114027
You're supposed to gas the charger and follow up with a thermite, then gas it again to keep it still

What the FUCK is the play here?

>>538113656
>he thinks DRG, even on modded haz6, is hard

>>538112587
It's kinda fun
you basically get a disposable railcannon tier nuke, where instead of deleting 1 target, you delete a bunch
same cooldown, but with more steps to deal with than the railcannon
people like to rag on it for the lack of demo strength, but honestly it's pretty good at what it does, I was able to wipe 3 titans with a single missile

>>538114001
I would but sadly it's late and I've work tomorrow. But I wish you the best of luck, Helldiver! But here is a picture of not-Miku and Dante in response.

If they nerf the new gun and remove the new content for muh autistic galactic war RP I'm deleting this fucking game.

Haven't played since the big squid cities dropped, and even then I've played maybe 2-3 missions and bounced.

New bug update IS fun even with the myriad of glitches and overlooked things

>>538114027
it's good, anti-medium and sets up heavies for easy kills. basically a railgun with slightly worse ammo efficiency as a tradeoff for mild chaff management ability

>>538114312
>he needs meta boosters to win the game
literal skill issue. if you can't carry a team of 3 shitters to victory with just an MG, OPS and base liberator, uninstall now.

Its really funny this is always the only complaint you faggots have. Youre so insecure about yourselves you need to constantly announce how you play "hard" games or how "x game is too easy" so you can get approval from total strangers.

>>538114887

>>538114567
3/4 cmon now

>>538112874
But does that give the thing real value? You can oneshot factory striders with RR, one of the strongest & highest value stratagems in the game. Or you can just pop its back turret with an EAT, then defang it with your ap3+. That's as good as killing the thing. Hell, just rape five or more of them with cuck chair. What I'm trying to say is that we didn't need more dedicated anti-heavy gems. Especially not ones with massive opportunity cost. Solo silo needed the jammer popping niche. It's just not carrying its own weight without that. Alexus is a fucking moron and needs to be fired for criminal incompetence.

ive hated the swedes for awhile now but this update is some sheer bs, cant wait for the mega nerfs tuesday

>>538114838
I agree how could they fall for such an awful game

>>538115127
needs bullet correction

how do you toggle flashlight

>>538115478
Hold R

>>538115478
hold the reload key

>>538115073
Sometimes I want to mow down a horde of whatever and just kick back, relax, and enjoy myself.
Sometimes I want a genuine down to the wire challenge that gets the blood pumping and forces me to actually use my brain.
Both of these can be fun, and a truly good game would be able to give you both via different settings/difficulties. Helldivers would be 100% able to do just that if the devs knew what they were doing. What really confuses me is how people like you only ever see this shit in binary like you've only ever played a single game in your entire life.

>>538115276
Again, the solo silo is more akin to the EAT than the RR.

A better comparison here would be the commando. It is also a disposable AT option that can solo a FS in short order. But with it you need to land 3-4 hits on a weakpoint, and depending on the range you can potentially fumble those shots. Honestly though the main outlier is the cuckchair. I don't know how that thing hasn't been kneecapped yet.

soloing a hive lord has completely mind broken me. now every single time I encounter one I suffer from an anxiety attack.
just looking at this video is actually painful for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOpqJH9VJi0
i don't even want to play the game anymore, and i only did this so i could have an opinion on the swedish abandonware game on the underwater basketing weaving forum. fuck

>>538115621
"if you're not 100% with me I will consider you an enemy and a cuck" is a common attitude among zoomers and Gen Ack

The piss water on the surface crippling your movement really is the worst fucking thing.

What is Joel's master plan I wonder.

>>538115789
What do you mean? I love shallow water. I love being completely unable to dive (a core feature in this game btw) yet my enemies are completely unimpeded. I especially love how slows you down on top of removing your dive. Very Swedish

>>538115896
>Worked up
>He thinks I meant that I get pissed at video games
Have you never once been excited? Am I being baited? Why do (You) even play video games if you just sit there bored out of your mind?

>>538115976
he's too stupid to have a plan, the higher ups hand him a set of DM's notes and leave him in his janitorial cuck closet to spitefully not follow them to the greatest degree possible until they yell at him to stop fucking around and (not) rig it or else we'll be denied new content and riot

>>538115681
If it's supposed to be a big EAT it needs a much leaner cooldown. But I repeat, even then there's be no point to the silo as a heavy remover. And it's not cool to just cope this away by saying it's a flavor item and beyond criticism because of it. That's not what this thing was conceptualized for. It was DESIGNED to be a secondary objective popper. The decision to not let it do that came much later, at the last minute even. We know this thanks to dataminers who spawned and destroyed jammers with it as far back as a year ago. By extreme contrast the tutorial video where it's used to pop a hulk got me genuinely fuming. I never had a problem getting past bot heavies. Jammers and detectors not offering any way to be solved fast and from a distance is a genuine problem that SHOULD have a counterplay available but Arrowhead disagree for reasons only they know.

>>538115459
Would be cool if you dropped in with your support weapon and backpack already equipped. Would help with starting next to jammers too.

>>538115976
People need to pick up FUCKING SAMPLES. Too many fucking niggers have adopted the mentality of just ignoring them. Both the newfags who are terrified of doing anything other than speedrunning the primary objectives and the vets who just fucking stopped once their destroyer was upgraded are to blame.

Do YOU have collected your 4000 samples anon?

>>538116282
It pops the majority of secondary objectives.

>>538116282
>Arrowhead disagrees
*Alexus

>Secondary bot objective of blowing up bio vats
... wait a minute, I swear I remember a shipscree - ad saying something about 'early retirement in a reclamation vat'.

Are the bots using our own bio vats against us I wonder?

jeetdivers to designated shitting pods

>>538113320
Fenmire has three megacities and thus has more HP than a regular planet (the decay rate is calculated as a function of the planet's HP, so you have to increase it to get the right calculation). What you're actually looking at is a 1% decay rate on a planet that takes 2.4 times as much effort to liberate than a non-megacity planet.

>>538116537
The ones I can mow down with an HMG emplacement? Irrelevant.

>>538116324
No, people are picking up the samples. The problem is that everyone dies so much, and the bugs are so oppressive that going back to pick them up is never worth it.

fuck rupture strain, complete retarded bullshit

I'm bored of mag dumping at the stagehazardlord.

>>538116815
skill issue
lower the difficulty
uhh... take the epoch

>>538116623
Also mega city missions only contribute to the mega city liberation and not the planet liberation.

Ngl I haven’t struggled this hard in a long time, these hive worlds are brutal

>>538116565
My schizo theory from ages ago based on nothing, but has only grown more true with each bit of passing lore
>Super Earth discovers terminids have e710
>e710 is vital to interstellar travel
>Super Earth genetically modifies bugs to produce more e710
>Super Earth, being Super Earth, applies this practice to its citizens
>bots find out about it, begin bioprocessing super earthers
>squids find out about it, begin harvesting super earthers
>coincidentally, dark energy values raised whenever squids were harvesting super earth citizens
>gloom expedition just revealed e710, when highly condensed, becomes e711, which can be processed into dark fluid
>the squids were harvesting super earthers to produce dark fluid, because super earthers contain e710

>>538116894
The flip side here being that liberating a megacity automatically adds a good chunk of planetary liberation, which can make them well worth doing.

So this whole e711 dark fluid stuff is probably gonna lead to the cultists right?

>>538116565
Both Super Earth and the Automatons realize that leaving biomass just laying around instead of putting it to use is a waste, so I wouldn't really call the Bots using bio-blenders an example of them using our tech against us as much as it's just them putting their old vats to use.

>>538116338
Donkey Kong Balanza will be even better, I just need the right "inspiration" (read: godawful warbond) for it

>>538117045
Maybe E-710 can be harvested from any living creature and Terminids are just used as the main source because of how rapidly they multiply.

>>538117362
Super Earth would be putting out orders to harvest squids for E710 if that were the case, and they'd certainly have no reason to lie about it.

Killing Hivelord should be it's own mission

>>538118042
Comically large proportions are dumb and I dislike them. I even like comically large tits, but not in my vidya. You can have your dumb fetish because I have dumb fetishes too, but I'd like a slightly more feminine Helldiver and keep my stupid goonshit seperate.

Hivelord should have been its own dedicated mission. Just replace bricks with "hunt the hivelord"

Based take, Silo with 50 Demo would only be good on the bot front and it would still be shit in the bug and squid front. No clue why these nerf diver faggots froth at the mouth about being able to trivialize jammers when we have shit like the fucking Recoilless Rifle and Anti-Tank Emplacement existing.

xbow is a bit better suited for diggers IMO. Eruptor is a bit overkill and they seem pretty weak to explosives, so the xbow gets the job done. Only problem is that eruptor will get better mileage vs the exposed flesh of the memelord, but I honestly don't think it's worth wasting the time to kill that faggot.

Alternatively the loyalist plasma pistol forces diggers to surface.

Eravin got caught in the discord stream having a BBC sissy hypno audio tab up on Shibbydex so probably the helghast scout armor he always wears or the stealth ones.

They gotta fire the sound guy, how's it STILL borked nearly two years since release?

I don't want anything to be nerfed. I just want everything else to feel good and have a purpose. The Missile Silo was already a side-grade to a 500 KG. Now it's just strictly worse. In every instance where you would use the missile silo, you can replace it with a 500. If it could at least snipe Jammers and Detector towers, it would feel okay.

Longer cooldown, support weapon, that has a bit more damage and range but with worse demo force is just not worth it. Especially when the demo force literally only matters for the bot front. The front that is already piss easy the moment anyone brings an anti-tank emplacement. (Who gives a fuck, let people use what they want)

i'm getting along well enough with the epoch, backpack varies. usually i volunteer to be the portable hellbomb guy when i see everybody else bringing theirs Some anon here pointed out the punisher plasma shotgun can bump the digger bugs out of the ground, which is useful, but honestly the insane stagger and splash is also really good in the close quarters of the caves.

do you guys still bring reds since half the map is outside? it feels weird when we're stuck underground for so long but i guess they're good when it's time to extract. i still bring a sentry so i can at least throw one down in those little open ceiling areas

The two I've had most luck for clearing the missions are:
>Xbow
>talon
>sparkler or incendiary
>medium unflinching
>Quasar
>warp pack
>portable hellbomb/NEATs
>AC mech
Medium unflinching gives me decent mobility, and enough armor to survive getting suckerpunched by the odd slash. Most of the fighting will be on foot with quasar/warp pack. If you opt to bring NEATs, then you can use those to help defend objectives. Usually an objective has an open roof where you can call in the NEATs. Then you can napalm bug breaches while raising the flag or whatever the objective is. The AC mech is the most painless way to spearhead a push into a meganest. If you brought hellbomb, then deploy the hellbomb along with the mech before pushing into the mega nest. Beeline the BT hole and detonate the hellbomb at the hole. You'll need to fight without a backpack until you can call a fresh warp pack down.

Recently I've been leveling the coyote
>Coyote
>Loyalist
>thermite
>medium unflinching
>Speargun
>Supply pack
>portable hellbomb/NEATs
>AC mech
A lot of the same as before. Except now you largely use the speargun to close holes, and thermites for your heavy kills. Loyalist can force diggers to surface. This overall feels a lot weaker to me than xbow/quasar, but I want to level up the coyote.

For the hive lord fight, what you really want are Eagle Strafing run and maybe to a lesser extent gatling barrage. He's a big boy, and the masses of bullets grossly outdamages things like 500kg when they're all hitting. Once some of the plates get popped, you want something with high durable damage to focus the exposed flesh. Said exposed flesh is COMPLETELY IMMUNE TO EXPLOSIVES. You can ditch the hellbomb/NEATS for strafing run, but now you've got a red stratagem that's useless in the caves and also maybe give up an easy way to close BT holes.

Honestly you could effectively "nerf" the coyote by having it not immediately apply the burning effect to everything in one tap, it would still be really good, it just wouldn't be completely ridiculous

That would be sad. It would feel like a surrender. I had a lot of vitriolic and admittedly mostly pointless arguments with the light pen cucks in here but ultimately I want their weapons to be fun and capable, not effectively deleted and replaced by medpen versions.

>De-escalator/harpoon
>Warp pack

Warp lets you run circles around everything. De-escalator can wipe out packs of oversaars quickly. Or it could. People said that it was shadownerfed the other day. Prep a NEAT whenever some dumbass poses for a selfie with the watchers. Strafing run can pop shields in a heartbeat and is just all around useful.

>he's back

I want you to remember that every time shazamniggers were screaming about how the game would fail and it's shit and slop and Arrowhead will never break their own goal of like 10k recurring right before making millions of sales, that Gucci Slippers was there shilling right with them

I want you to remember that when the launch was glitched to fuck & back and the balance was realism for thee not for me faggot shit excused by "muh milsim" autism, Gucci Slippers was there saying anyone who didn't like the status quo must be bad and any reference to the original game was irrelevant

I want you to remember that when retards were insisting Alexus was actually based and not a game destroying money running ukroserbian niggerfaggot responsible for every single bad gameplay decision or undocumented fuckup made, that he was responsible for both tonguing slavswigger balls and insisting this very retardation wasn't actually happening

I want you to remember that after we got patched closer to the arcade balance paradigm of the original- we're not even fully there yet- that he was doomcrying that the game was ruined because he enjoyed having his balls crushed as though running straight into a concealed MG nest on Foxhole, an entirely separate game he could still play for this feel

I want you to remember that as hopium maxxers looked into leaks & datamines and proclaimed that vehicle skins, weapon customization, armor skins & weapon/strat upgrade systems were all inevitable after the sheer commercial success- we're halfway through those predictions as of now- he was right there saying it wasn't possible and the game was already dead and if any of it was added it would be bad because reasons

/hdg/, REMEMBER WHAT GUCCI SLIPPERS DID TO YOU

>>538111340
Hell you can sprint to the base the jammers in and belly crawl to the jammer using scout armour, pretty much free unless it’s one particular base layout that always has a bunch on guys leading directly to the tower that you can’t sneak by, but even then it’s just a quick sprint past them.

Honestly coyote isn't really that broken in retrospect. It doesn't do anything better than any other good primary.
The only thing it's "cracked" at is killing hive guards fast. Which is pretty fucking underwhelming considering how easy they are to counter.

Bots it's B tier.
illuminate it's B tier.
Bugs it's B tier.
And D tier for jump bots, fire bots, pred strain, gloom bugs, rupture bugs.

Honestly the problem is that people compare it to the worst fucking ARs in the game that don't even kill their own ideal targets efficiently. God forbid we have one gun that's good at doing the job it's meant to do.

>>538122894
Only 20 pellets meanwhile Incendiary breaker only has 12 pellets but has weaker status strength.

Back when fabricator-attached jammers could be destroyed from any distance by blowing up the fab the bots were still fine and much more of a challenge than right now. Nothing is solved or improved by cucking the silo out of 50 demo force, similar to how nothing is solved or improved by not letting Epoch, arc, and pineapple nades have 30 demo force. Just plain dumb bad decisions. It's almost like I'm back at work trying to explain to my retard boomer superiors that the people who did the job for most of their lives might have a more informed opinion on what it entails.

>>538123154
I think most mouth breathers here think that the coyote is strong because it's projectiles are so flashy.
In truth coyote is probably worse then every AR besides the libconc and pacifier.

Is everyone getting really bad audio cracking in the caves? It's really cheesing me off!

This build is so ass man.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsHDZk8JcQI

So, why the fuck is the pineapple / cluster grenade so bad?
It barely covers a lot of the area, it has light pen, YOU ONLY GET 3 FUCKING GRENADES
Gas still beats it in CC. The HE nades beat it in damage and coverage. Dynamite for area coverage.

>>538123514
There are tools to test things for dps, you know. Coyote's base damage is indeed nothing to write home about, it has worse properties than some other ARs in that regard, but the damage over time is immense and applies with as little as a single hit. It's the highest dps AR and one of the highest dps primaries, minimum top 5 right now.

>>538123567
It basically sums up most of the opinions that I've heard about the speargun

I suspect that originally it was literally an ABRL warhead but in hand grenade form. It was given 3 nades to keep this balanced. Then Alexus saw one kill a fleshmob and reduced the number of bomblets by 98%

>>538123676

>>538123932
It's about damaging things in parallel. The TTK for one target is not that noteworthy. But when you've ignited 3 fleshmobs and 5 oversaars, the overall TTK for the entire group is very fast compared to someone trying to do the same with an adjudicator.

I'm kinda worried about us synthesising darkie fluid from E-711, bros.

>>538124262
It would just be an unbullpupped Libpen in that case. Pointless.

>>538123974
Admittedly there does seem to be some niche jank with it. Old charger leg-hitbox tier jank. Apparently if you shoot a charger's ass at just the right angle, the harpoon will hit the ass, overpen through the ass, and manage to hit the inner guts hitbox despite the outer shell still being in place. This particular hitbox has a 300% damage multiplier for passing damage on to the main HP pool. So if you happen to hit that specific glitchy angle on a charger butt, then the harpoon actually has legitimate AT weapon tier damage. Between that and gas damage, allegedly the best case is one hit kill via bleedout.

>>538123361
Jammers not getting destroyed by the fabs is one of the best bot changes they made.
Also, pinapple has 30 demo, it destroys bughives.
Also don't get why epoch needs demo force?

>>538124262
if you aren't actively using it exclusively for the fire, you're using it wrong
next drop you do with it, use it semi auto and just tap things with it once and watch them die, you can clear entire patrols with half a magazine

>>538124262
Play as the host. Alexus fucked status effects for clients a few weeks ago during his attempts to nerf the de-escalator.

>>538124262
It would still be at least at good as the other assault rifles.

>>538124354
>Jammers not getting destroyed by the fabs is one of the best bot changes they made.
No it's not, bots get diminished by removing long-range tactics, not improved.
>why epoch needs demo force?
Because it's not very good at its job and won't ever satisfy anyone except people that pick plasma weapons exclusively for the flavor. I repeat, nothing is solved or improved by not letting it have demo force. Inversely there would be no downside to letting it have that demo force. Refusal to t just makes the gun less useful for no benefit. It's a pointless limitation. That's all Alexus ever gave us, pointless limitations. None of them made the game more fun. Not one.

>>538124437
Doesn't fix it. The bug won't affect you if you're the *network* host, which is not the same as being the party host. There's no way to know if you're the network host and it changes throughout the game.

>y-you think the bugs are the good guys, l-liberal!
the bugs continuing to exist after 100 years of a nearly complete genocide is solely to blame on super earth greed
super earth is about to let the gloom keep existing because they found oil 2.0 inside of it
they are turning oil 2.0 into squid WMD so they can do meridia 2: electric boogaloo, because that worked out so well for so many millions of super earth citizens last time
trillions will die all because super earth is trapped in a growth sustainment cycle that can never be allowed to stop, and I'm beginning to believe they're okay with that, because every super earth citizen's corpse is just more e710 in the tank

>>538122517

>>538124706
Yep, I'm thinking we're gonna kill you for this

>>538124262
Unironically would ruin the gun. It's the only good AP3 weapon right now because it applies a status effect that deals damage to main. Y'know the thing that magdumping with AP3 should be good at?

Almost every other AP3 weapons sucks right now because there's no AP3 weak points in the game worth a fuck outside of overseer heads (good luck hitting them with the abjudicator) or the new rupture warriors.

This really isn't a coyote problem.

which store armors are essential?
i assume its
light padded
medium peak physique
maybe heavy padded/flame/gas?

DCS is the best bot primary in the game though, Deadeye not far behind

>>538125162
heavy padded is a meme
heavy gas makes you take 0 damage if coupled with a vit booster
heavy flame helps a lot if you set yourself on fire
light padded is neat
medium peak physique is also neat.

light fortified if you want some survivability on the bot front while also being a fast critter
heavy medic armor, if you know you know

>>538125229
militant vegans would say yes

>>538125162
The medium fortified armor is good against bots. Light medic armor is a good generic one.

>>538125162
Enforcer
mobility of medium armor + survivability of heavy armor
it's overtuned

>>538125048

>>538124656
>long range options
Fuck that, jammers are one of the few objectives that force short range, instead of just sitting a cuckchair on a hill.

>>538125224
Windswept Wayfinder works nice with the desert armor.
Pinions of Everlasting Glory, Veil of the Valorous Vagabond, Botslayer. Those seem to be decent options that go well along IMO.

>>538125585
Diligence is better for that.

shitters will cry about how its weak and how it cant do anything right
but the rare greater mortal pops 5 zerker heads at once and gets a dopamine kick like no other.

>>538125619
Nah, Dili is irrelevant. CS gets picked about twice as much for a reason. High ergonomics and long mag aren't good substitutes for substantially better damage and more target flexibility. It would need to be put roughly on par with CS in terms of dps, and I suppose that used to be the plan considering they shoot the same caliber, but then weenie hut jr divers happened. Ever since then, higher damage and velocity = better.

>>538125693
Another studio definitely made this armor because it looks good and slots well with a variety of items.

>>538125721
Not just head popping, Chaff clearance and ammo capacity, especially with drums these days.
Literally the only thing from stopping the Tenderizer from being broken is the shitty ammo capacity and reload.

>>538125609
>>538125693
Problem is I don't like pure white capes

>>538125693
wish that cape wasn't so clean, the desert was the perfect opportunity for some more cool tattered, dirty, and weathered stuff

>>538125616
The truth enforcer armors, unflinching, provide half the effectiveness of extra padding. So while b01 is medium mobility with heavy tier armor, the medium unflinching brings you halfway between medium and heavy. But in addition you can't be flinched and you have map Rader pings

>>538125905
The only complaint I have with it, is that I wish it didnt have peephole rear sight posts. It would have been so much better an an open top m1 sight or practically anything else. Peepholes despite being pretty good IRL, will never work in vidya

>>538125920
>CS gets picked about twice as much for a reason.
Because they can't aim

>>538122430
3/4 get in

>>538125616
I think so. Fortified, especially in heavy and pseudo-heavy, is massively underrated. You can survive the wildest shit with it, shit that would definitely kill you if you were on any other armor perk.

How is it we're 16 warbonds in and Steel Veterans is still the undisputed best one?

>>538125946
Yeah I can agree a lot of them are great. I think people just shit their pants because we have an ap3 focussed MO and we get a gun basically designed for it.

Wild how that works, same thing happened for the halo shotgun and pred strain

>>538125949
Pinions of everlasting glory is not pure white. In fact I think it fits perfectly with scorpion armor.

>>538122430
>>538126143
Full?

>>538126221
you need to turn crossplay on.
it's full now tho

>>538126064
The big thing about this is just 10% damage reduction is usually enough for most break points.(You get about 12.5% from truth enforcers) The downside is that everyone takes vitality booster, basically making this moot.

>>538126087
Whether your aim is abysmal or godlike or anything in between, DCS is just better. This was the inevitable fate of making the bots weak and handing out ammo crutches to the point at which ammo management is no longer part of the HD2 experience. There used to be a time when you had to think twice about picking CS because you'd run dry in the face of the sheer mass of the bot horde. But that horde is long gone. And the pathetic remainder drops like flies. You can throw ammo efficiency to the wind, and R-63 with it.

>>538126180
I'll dispute that. The only thing in there is the senator and that's only good on bots.
I haven't seen anyone using the armor this entire year.

>>538125949
Pinions aint pure white, same as Valorous Vagabond. Neither is botslayer, just a very bright brown.
Reaper of Bounties works well, too.
If all else fails, Foesmasher. Can never go wrong with the OriginalTM
>>538125969
Theres maybe 2 or 3 capes that got the tattered look on them, being the Tyrant Hunter and Executioners Capony. Other than that, I dunno. Only way to get the "fucked up" look is to jump-pack around.

Epoch has demo force. You can blow up fabs by shooting at side. It dosent have "explosion" effect that closes bug holes and blows up fabs and ships. Neither you can open containers with it.
Epoch is strange gun. It's all downside. Dangerous. Need some skill to use correctly. Bad range. Bad utility. bad ammo economy. Long charge time and long reload. What you get in return is med AT.

>>538126758
Yes you are. CS does more damage on class 2 armored areas on class 3 armored enemies. It's never practical to only go for headshot. Not if you want decent ttk. Don't pretend you never shoot a dev in the pelvis or back area, or a chicken in the leg joint.

>>538124030
You get 6 and can throw them in bug holes. It also applies flames more consistently if there's a choke. Don't use it for the ap5 shit. It's mostly a meme.
Think of them like little blenders that you can throw constantly if not multiple at a time

Im convinced the whole aimlet argument for light pen is just a cope.
In my thousands of hours playing these shitty l4d clones you've always wanted your horde clear to be spray and pray. Not even taking into consideration how honestly shit hd2 armour pen system is. It in itself creates an arms race as most guns that do high damage do high pen. What's even the point in clicking bug heads when a eruptor shot plus machine gun just mows every par heavies.

Why bother maximising your theoretical dps when ive already destroyed the horde in one stratagem.

>>538126730
>thermites so strong they needed to limit it to three
>they thought these were just as strong
I don't understand how they got that impression. My best guess is that the code for the submunition dispersal is borked. Seems like incendiary napalm's is a little fucky too, and it's in the same warbond, so that tracks.

>>538124343
> Apparently if you shoot a charger's ass at just the right angle, the harpoon will hit the ass, overpen through the ass, and manage to hit the inner guts hitbox
there seems to be some truth to this. getting pretty consistent two shots on behemoths if you send the harpoon straight up the ass, which is what the math says it should take if you're hitting the inner flesh.
I did try just one harpoon and ran around for far longer than it should have taken it to bleed out, so I don't think you can get the one-shot with bleed out unless there's some especially egregious jank going on I haven't identified, or it might be a host/client thing like with the de-escalator.

>Hellmire
It was fun experience to face dragons in more isolated instance as opposed to Oshaune.
How did you dealt with dragon on Hellmire? Or at least thoughts on it?
- Without obedient passive, there is somewhat split second decision to "dive and heal" to not die in an instance. Strafing hardly helps, you still fall into area of damage.
- I find the problem is not with dragon itself, fuck it, it would be a good objective in to kill it and have fuckton of health, it's just the number of them which worries me a lot.
- Spear is relatively good to take it down from good distance and has moderate chance to actually hit it.
- So is rocket sentry. Not sure about autocannon sentry.
- Does machine gun sentry even try to aim at it? Unless I am mistaken, it simply doesn't want to shoot at it when it halts midair.
- Exosuits can't face it alone. I found that despite "staggering" it constantly with autocannons barrage it still spews at me.

I still think this is just a case of "git gud". Perhaps I just fail to see a proper, casualty-free, approach against it. Can anyone help me on this one?

>>538127137
>6 tags
N-NANI?

>>538127115
I could see this, but even in the trailer they killed only two outta 3 warriors with the thing.

>>538127137
>have fun with danbooru only allowing 2 active tags at once
You can just blacklist the tags you don't want. Here, something to get you started.
https://rentry.co/bcfp7rtw

>>538127773
Spear
always the spear

>>538127713
you can probably one shot with the railgun at high charge

>>538127773
Autocannon flak rounds focused on the wings works well.

>>538127773
Spear is really good when its not gimped
My last dive i had to 4 shot them when I had reliable 2 shots on body, and 1 shot on head before.

>>538126802
Epoch blows up fabs because it actually damages them enough to do so

>>538127773
flying turks are a stim check, because unlike stingrays, you dont get any warning or chance to get the fuck out of the fire zone
couple that with how many can spawn at once, alongside all the other bullshit, things get difficult.

spear is okay, but needs a decent angle, otherwise it misses the target. RR and EATs can work fine, unless youre some aim god and can smack its head
rocket sentry feels better to use due to its faster targeting speed, while the autocannon will blast some scavengers in the distance and take forever to rotate around
staggering does fuckall but spread the invisible fire everywhere

Here is what I am watching between /hdg/ lobbies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2atfEnAmDU

>fuck it i’ll take the orbital rail to make the dragon fuck off
>it never shows up once
>stuck with the rail for an entire mission for no reason
This piece of shit is awful even when it doesn’t spawn

>>538128323
Just throw it at shit when its off cooldown. Not like you need any reds anyways.

>>538128253
if you face it head on after it dives and it hits the head it dies in 1hit
its easier to just hit its ass twice while it flies in the distance
i really value the spear more now in this update, you can just get rid of the skyrim dragon at 300m distance in 15secs

>>538121594
Probably just about the same amount. If they were ALL medium pen it'd be boring though. At the same time I think the penetration system is far too simple. We need in-betweens, such as to deal full damage to the matching armor-penetration level rather than suffering a 1/3rd cut damage penalty.

>>538128323

Railcannon simply will never make economic sense for as long as they don't lower the CD down to OPS levels. 100 secs, at most, is what it should be. Did I mention Alexus keeps fucking the game with pointless limitations?

>>538128884
because the caves have piles of SC lying everywhere around them
I have already made 1300 SC just playing the title update normally

>>538127852
damn, you can. math says 85% charge should be enough rather than needing to red line it as demonstrated, but I'm still not sure how practical it is to do in an actual gameplay scenario with other threats around. I was trying do get it with charger already aggro'd and doing the matador but the charger would always turn back and I'd lose the angle before the railgun was charged up, the fact you can do it all is wild.

Does the flying roach have more HP than a bile titan? Fuckers tanking recoilless shots like they’re nothing

The best part of it all?
"long range" babies eat shit for it. You can still run DMRs against bots in close quarters, no doubt, but they cant magically call in Eagle Strafing Runs or AT emplacements to deal with everything.

But until that, I hope they really fix a lot of the bullshit related to underground stuff.

Silo is way more fun to use than 500KG, plus I don't have to beeline towards BT hole since the rest of the teams are usually retarded to not prioritize it.

For all that talk about muh balance, it sure didn't apply to flying BTs.
100x time as fast, 10x time as deadly, 2x time as tanky than its grounded counterpart.

>>538130351
Well part of me wanting the emplacement bots to actually start shooting is then some light long range firefights. I'm imagining the entrances to bot underground complexes (if they're even getting such at all) would be way more fortified than the bug version. Something like five or MG emplacements that would just all open up on the Helldivers as soon as they're in visual range (which is also hopefully beyond 2 meters like it usually seems to be).
Interiors can be even more fucked too.

>>538130879
It's called progress, or, evolution. Something that nerftrannies believe shouldn't exist for the player.

>>538122109
The problem about the penetration system is damage reduction. If you eliminate damage reduction post weapon penetration then light pen weapons would actually work on more than 1/4 of enemies.

>>538131049
>more than 1/4 of the enemies
You need AP3 for maybe 1/5th of the enemies. What are you on about?

warp pack really should be enough to escape it, but I'm using that too and it's not, he tracks the guy he's going for perfectly
you can get behind cover, however, so I think it's mainly just people not respecting the roach that's the issue
>oh it's a bug enemy, I can just continue running out in the open, right?
>perfect tracking dragon breath goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

>>538130879
There should be at least a trade-off for its flight ability

>>538131105
Whether or not the dragon breath gets you is a complete dice roll in my experience. It's either clearly hitting me but I don't get a scratch or I'm nowhere near where it lands but I'm killed in an instant.

>>538130879
Wouldnt care as much for it, if it wasnt the amount of bullshit it came with on a technical level.
Invisible fire beams and pools, staggering does nothing but spray fire everywhere, and making its wings be more holes than membrane does nothing.
Then you bundle that up with how many spawn at once, and you got a recipe for disaster.

It feels like they got the feedback of people saying "yeah we like the stingray, we wish the other factions had that, or stingrays would spawn more!" but then forgot to playtest the dragonroaches and if they're engaging to fight.
There is a reason I bring the RR with me at all times, cause once I'm outside the caves, there be dragons.

>>538131235
Yeah the visual effect of the dragon being a crapshoot is part of what makes them real cunts to fight. I don't mind them being deadly, tanky and numerous all at once, but at least fix the visual effects so I can tell for sure what's safe and what's not.

I wouldn't mind either its damage getting lowered either or having it telegraph a swoop in more by having it hover and track someone for a second like stingrays do. Maybe not both but at least one would be nice.

It's called being weaker. If they don't want it weaker, slower. If they don't want to do anything, put the fuckers on a respawn timer.

>>538131497
Oh I did, but mostly on objective areas or the LZ. Makes it even worse to deal with IMO.

Not saying that they should nerf the roaches to be a flying joke, but rather fix their shit, telegraph their attacks better, and MAYBE make them the occasional hazard like stingrays, and not "heres 6 roaches, you should be able to solve this"

>>538131497
Not him, but I got sprayed and died once in the ceiling of nursery hole when trying to reach my teammate. I'm not complaining, but it was kind of unbelievable.

>>538131090
I use to run Punisher on bugs. It worked on everything that wasn't a Charger. That's a light pen weapon, but its damage a shot was overkill to have damage reduction be noticeable. This was before the AR buffs. This was also before anyone realized that light pen was AP1, and most enemies were above AP2 and halving that damage. A 400 damage shotgun spread don't care on anything below AP3.

>>538129675
I like the whole Rupture Strain's gimmick of higher front armour but less total health. At least for the warrior and charger, I honest to god have no clue what's different about these spewers versus normal bile spewers besides the new attacks.

>It feels like they got the feedback of people saying "yeah we like the stingray, we wish the other factions had that, or stingrays would spawn more!" but then forgot to playtest the dragonroaches and if they're engaging to fight.
I think that genuinely might be the case. I would not put it past these swedes to hear that people liked stingrays, but didn't actually understand why they liked them or what makes them cool. and just gave a regular bile titan the mobility of a shrieker + a buggy spewing attack and called it a day.
I'm betting those retards in the studio are scratching their heads wondering why roaches are getting mixed reception when stingrays were seen as great by everyone and going:
>"B-but they both fly! What's the difference???"

>>538132107

>>538131729
>This was also before anyone realized that light pen was AP1, and most enemies were above AP2 and halving that damage
this is a very confusing statement.
the only gun to ever be AP1 was the original form of the breaker spray and pray. light pen on our weapons has always meant AP2 other than that one outlier. for bugs only hive guard, brood commanders,stalkers, nursing spewers, and low level bile spewers had 2 armour on them. and being "above" AP2 would mean medium armour or higher in which light pen would have been doing zero damage to them, not half

It shouldn't, it's a static value we get per mission whose only variable it the number of people playing the game.

Remember, they didn't play test the game or rather uses you, player, as the tester. So, you can complain as loudly as you can.

Seeing plebbitors seethe at how much more difficult the Hive Lord makes the game is worth it though lmfao.

I would not compare the dragonroach to a stingray, they are clearly a Terminid Leviathan, and in that case the dragonroaches are indeed fun to fight and a direct improvement on the leviathan
They are also a de-facto stage hazard that respawns continuously. But now rather than being a 360 no scope ragdoll machines they
>have clearly telegraphed attacks
>their damage can be countered with proper armor perks, diving onto the ground or pre-stimming since they don't ragdoll
>their attacks are clearly telegraphed to allow for pre-stimming
>they are much less bullet-spongy and can even be one-shot if you are not shit at the game
They are a direct improvement over the Leviathan, yeah sure their attack path bugs out sometimes and turns mid-air, but it's more of a fault of swedish code that can be fixed rather than bad design that cannot.
If you are having issues with them then i would genuinely chalk it up to stubbornness to use a mission specific loadout, armor with resistances like Killzone or Dust Devils, skill issue with pre-stimming and a skill issue with aiming.
I am having fun swatting them out of the sky, and I never saw more than one spawn mid-mission and a maximum of 2 during extract. And I did play on the new bug planet for a total of 20 hours this week.

Recent enemy additions have been pretty low quality. Warstriders being an ammo check to AP4 with no real weakspots.
Its grenade attack is also based on the distance of the player it targets, but the grenade timer starts the moment it is shot out. So if the grenade takes a long enough time to travel to you, by the time you see it hit the ground you're already ragdolled.
The bile dragon needing 3 non-headshot rockets to kill but its constant bobbing and mobility make landing a headshot impractical.
Its wings only transfer damage to the main pool of health too and can't actually be taken out. Dodging its attacks is fucked. And there's the rupture brood.
The warriors have the same colored head, arms and body so there's no visual distinction between their med armor and light armor parts.
Their eruption attack is also inconsistent and sometimes when they're crawling out of the ground they can still damage you.
You need to sprint perpendicular to an eruption spewer to safely dodge its spit but it burrows too quickly after spitting. And if there is a group of rupture warriors and/or spewers, they constantly pop out one after the other to pester you with little downtime. I know using plasma or explosives forces rupture variants to surface but I do not want to be pigeonholed into using crossbow or eruptor.
Rupture charger is... mostly okay. But dodging it when it is underground is a chore because that nigga pops out on his time and not yours. The other bugs can be baited out if they're focusing on you but you can't do that with the charger because you'll just get ragdolled.
Warriors and scavengers now seem to have evolved the ability to break your leg in one swipe even with vitality booster equipped. Think you can tank 15% damage from a scavenger? Guess again stimpig.
Finally fuck all the water on oshaune. Fuck the retarded swigger nigger who made it impossible to dive while you're constantly slowed.

Absolute best loadout for cave bug, anything else is contrarian nigger trash

I think every single non-stratagem weapon should have all of its penetration removed.
Like now all bullets should just bounce off everything and deal 0 damage with a slight chance of just bouncing back at you and instakilling you.
I think primaries are far too OP right now, they're supposed to be literal joke weapons according to my sources.

Never had this happen genuinely. I did mention that the roach can turn sometimes and retarget and I understand the effect does not 100% match the AOE hitbox of the attack since it's also a bile titan. But c'mon, you should know by know, it's how spitting bugs work even though it should be fixed yes. Just take it into account and pre-stim or dive.
And either take good armor for the Hive World or accept you are going to get 1-shot

>>538133348
They would be more fun with 70~% health instead of asking for the same answers as Bile Titans.

>>538134364
See, the idea was to make different gear viable for different purposes. But then the game got ruined by endless player buffing and now one loadout does it all. Off the top of my head just pick Coyote, RR, and grenade pistol for three weapons that are S+ tier no matter the front or subfaction. Meanwhile dozens of items, while neat, live in the shadow of top10 power scale items some of which I named. You can really fry fry up your game and turn it from tasty to stale in a heartbeat by not properly planning out its expansion.
