>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 contested planets and their patience, each with a different biome, completing as many objectives as possible in a procedurally generated level while constrained by a time limit and their colleagues. With Joel's blessing, a planet can be defended or liberated, and the player is based if they combine their efforts as much as possible to Liberate™ the galaxy.

>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.

Anyway to get the SC arrow mod to stop flickering or am I better off swapping to the Korean version?

FIRST FOR I WANT TO FUCK EAGLE IN THE ASS UNTIL SHE'S SOBBING

>>539056991
This but with scavenger-chan

ATTENTION

I hate sw*den

Thank you for your attention, that is all.

ads in third person view is pointless when hip shots work pretty much as well, just do fpv and hip shots all the time

Will the fix the 500kg bomb?
>won't kill bile titans if it lands on their face
>will stop on the smallest of tree branches if it touches before reaching the ground
>helldiver and bug nest kill radius seems to vary
I think I've even seen chaff enemies survive it from time to time, might be the spaghetti code plus latency issues.

>>539056925
There's plenty of things narrowdick could have done, there's still what, a couple dozen weapons and stratagems they haven't copied over from HD1? At the glacial pace they're going they'll finish porting everything over sometime coinciding with the heat death of the universe.

I want to facefuck Eagle and get the best deepthroat of my life, it needs to be worth it for when she inevitably murders me on the next drop

>>539057250
I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow reverted the range buff it got a while back and people just didn't notice because the only people who would use it regularly enough to even notice are unfathomably retarded pubs who just take it because "Up Right Down Down Down xD big boom xddd"

Justice may be blind but Swedes are dumb.

>>539057250
I never liked the 500kg and don't care. 120mm, OPS, and portable hellbomb all give less headache with consistently great results.

>>539057385
Remember anon, DSS Eagles aren't your Eagle-1

>>539057515
Collateral reparations

>>539057250
It low key feels like we're never going to get another balance or fix pass ever agian. Shams is such a fuckhead and the fact that he said performance patches were never going to happen is frankly insane. The swedes cannot bugfix and performance fix as they go they've PROVEN they can't.

Things like this will likely remain in the game until EoS. I really thought Nikolas might be a decent game director but so far it seems like he is just guzzling Sham's cum and doesn't give a fuck about the players either.

The Destroyer upgrade that makes Eagle strikes drop an additional bomb only effects things like the Airstrike, and doesn't modify the 500kg at all.

What
I literally do this very often.

>>539059018
Sort of varies in my experience. Lately the spawns are endless no matter what you do, and if you try to kill an entire patrol homing in on you a last scavenger just out of sight and range will call in a breach.
But I have had some D10's where I could walk into the mega nest and there was literally nothing spawned in and none of the holes triggered either, easy clear and egg find. I think the game's logic is just kind of a shitshow.

Wait, that’s why we have a tea pun? Well now it all makes sense. They should add voice packs though it would be kino. Add the orignal brits, and then other nations in accents or native tongue. Would be cool as fuck hearing them all in a single game.

>retroactively add Helghast chud voices to killzone bond

yes or yes?

>>539059620
Diving up hill is fast, that’s about it. This game has next to no mechanical complexity, it’s just knowledge checks and the knowledge is “I know the game is held together by tape so if I get a breach here and leave fast enough it will despawn” or “enemy patrols swan from the nearest nest and move towards me, until they enter my radar range and then they move in a straight line so if I use scout armor I can spot them and avoid them”.

>>539060332
Democratic detonation has the only two good primary weapons, servants of freedom has the only good side arm. Truth enforcers has a good shotgun for bugs, it stuns them so they’re easier to blast with a grenade launcher. 90% of weapons are terrible.

Objectively. The HD1 voice lines are great, you sound like a fag in HD2.

Why the Japanese dub sounds more soul?

>>539061295
they're silly as fuck and you 100% didn't play the game

>>539061390
In Japan as far as I know they don't treat voice acting as a lesser forming of acting, meaning it's more common for """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""real""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" actors to show up in video games

>>539061390
you probably recognize voice actors from one of your retarded isekai series or JRPGs

>>539061476
They were just the right amount of silly in 1 and I played the shit out of it, I could melee dodge cancel around borgs like a pro. New voice lines are lame in comparison

Unironically the Justice would be cool to see as a no-frills heavy pen primary with nothing fancy to it and some considerable (but manageable) drawbacks.
Other stuff that would be cool
>Black and yellow armor warbond (maybe five pages)
>Tanto and Trident
>more customization for existing weapons like mags and muzzle devices (thermal scopes, mags for Tendie, Pacifier, Coyote, Judy, Amendment, suppressors etc)
>Constitution gets stripper clips and a scope mount
>Helldiver colour scheme unlockable for existing armour sets
This is all extremely concentrated hopium, of course. In truth, I expect we will get one (1) cape and a bot MO where we have to kill a whole bunch of them.

This is what the game truly needs, everyone matching is cool as fuck and it really can’t be that hard to implement. Black and yellow should be the default for everything including colabs, just give them a yellow stripe or whatever.

>>539065425
"Balance" is ruining the game. It's kind of the opposite of Warframe, they made you into a god, sort of watering down the experience. But for Helldivers, they can't stop nerfing shit into the ground and making it all feel like shooting piss at enemies. I never see anyone equip the railgun, used to be one of the most useful stratagems in the game.
They're definitely staring daggers at the Coyote even though they keep saying they won't touch it.

i saw some jin roh looking dude what armor is that?

>>539065920
You probably saw the black trvth enforcer armor.

>>539065617
You're right. We've added enough demo force to open containers and destroy illegal broadcasts now.
Additionally, we've tightened up the spread even further and the epoch can now be reloaded while moving.

airburst with cluster setting but eat-700 can actually damage heavy units thanks for its anti tank pen from lil giblets
you cant go wrong with either, if you want more consistent explosions go air burst, if you can live with the cooldown or your back is already occupied then napalm it is

They aren't. These dev stream are almost always the poor wagies that work in areas that have nothing to do with gameplay decision being forced to play by their managers.

>>539068093
In my past 3 operations I've been on teams where the pubbies are averaging 6-8 accidentals each. GOD DAMN. Literally the only time that the niggers pull any meaningful weight to the fight is when they drop an orbital napalm on a bug breach, but they still drop it close enough to the team that somebody usually fucking dies.

I actually just fucking LOST a D10 mission for the first time in ages just now. I tried to carry those niggers through a raise the flag mission but then I got fucking splattered by an ultimatum with 0 reinforcements left and it was GG.

I will never own the machete.
I will never own the Killzone set.

>>539065879
What I hate most are their fucking egos. They made some mistakes. That's to be expected. Just fix them. But they won't. They'll sit around on D4 and be content in the superiority of their vision until the pressure builds to the point that the entire community is tearing down their doors with pitchforks and then FINALLY they'll relent and make a big fucking deal over fixing shit before being eternally butthurt and "unable to deal with more drama."

I mean that’s the crux isn’t it, urbie can shit on bugger threats where mobility is meaningless. Helldivers tries to set out mechs are shit because they’re meant to be thrown away after one use, when we call in 100s of millions of super dollars worth of ordinance in each each mission while jet setting around in a practically personal ship.

A brutish offshoot of the four armed ayys for our valiant helljump- helldivers to fight, they could have an enslaved tech race that keeps things running and an even more desperate type of fodder wave.

>>539075708
Kind of, it wasn’t comfortable to do on kb&m. But let you dodge and weave around enemies while stabbing them, made the constitution a very strong weapon since you could melee the rank and file while having 5 strong piercing shots for tough targets or well stacked trash. Was very fun to do as well, required a lot of mechanical skill to pull off while also working with your team which was mandated by the shared screen.

Well there's already jets and fire so I guess the logical third option would be a sniper faction. Give their shield devs a big long range cannon like the bunker turrets have. Rocket devs would have the equivalent of the giant tower turrets on their back instead of their rockets. They'd have to have their ai tweaked a bit so they don't try to constantly approach and instead just move sideways and even backwards to maintain distance and flank. They'd have to be really accurate but have a low rate of fire too. Breaking contact with concealment (smoke stratagems) would be the play against them. Once you've closed the gap they wouldn't be much of an issue except for the raiders which are all armed with shotguns :^)

>>539075708
You could do it on PC as well, it wasn’t to turn around faster but to fling your diver in a direction of your choosing after melee attacking. It gave you a level of mobility the game wasn’t really made for, but the weapons that could actually use it were sub optimal so it became a high skill high reward playstyle. It turned a sub par weapon with a bayonet into a real playstyle if you could do it well even on diff 15.

>>539075142
it's to do with projectile lifetime
the short of it is each only one projectile at a time could deal damage while it was inside a hitbox. so if you spin it around and cause lots of flames to pass in and out of a target very quickly, you are actually dealing more damage than you would by maintaining a constant stream of fire. if a pyro was burning you, you could back up against a wall and maximise the lifetime of each individual flame and the pyro would essentially deal fuckall damage

>>539080305
Are you asking for strategies or buffs? For strategies all you can really do is take melee buffing armor and the ballistic shield, but it's stratagem cooldown should be 30 seconds, it's damage and range should be buffed, and it would be nice if it gave you increased move speed and/or stamina regen in the area around it.

Leaves clouds of gas behind like a stream of gas grenades constantly going off. In fact, a gas grenade launcher would have been a way better stratagem.

>>539082027
because you only have an effective engagement distance of like 10 meters, every enemy that can call in reinforcements does it instantly, everything that doesn't have light armor is heavy armored, you (usually) only get one use of your support stratagem, and enemies actually spawn fast enough to overwhelm you

that's not even getting into being forced to share the screen with up to 3 other mongoloids

>>539077956
>he only let me choose missions like executing high value assets and launch ICBM
That's fucked up. I wouldn't wish those missions on anyone

>>539082726
I recommend gundamboi (decent production quality), commisarkai (larper but he's fun), and antique nova (metafag but explains his choices well) for good sources

>>539082726
You can watch some of Takibo's gameplay for metafag ideas and tips. He's a solo player that plays on the highest difficulty. Learning to play solo will help you hold your own as part of a team.

>>539082726
What part are you having issue with? Generally speaking bots are all about using cover and precision shots, since they can engage you from a distance

>>539083363
Bots just feel overwhelming, hulks run you down and burn you like it’s nothing and factory striders feel impossible to kill sometimes.

>>539083734
Recoilless is pretty much the go to, quasar is good too but can fall short. Like the rest of the game it’s a one and done answer. Shoot them with a recoilless, run away if they not drop and work on a different objective. That’s it

>>539083734
With hulks you want to take them out quickly before they flush you out of your positions, either blast them with typical AT or flank them (you can go prone to quickly evade their fire) and blast their vents.
Factory striders will shred your team if you don't take out their offensive tools. You can take out their chin turrets with med-pen and their main cannon with AT to leave it defenseless, or shoot it's stomach with med-pen. Otherwise just blast it with AT (preferably the head) until it dies

>>539083734
What I do for bots is I take shield generator relay (big bubble shield) and a rocket sentry. Throw sentry down, throw bubble after, then play tower defense or if it's in a good position just leave it to do work. Those two are on a fairly short cooldown and will solo a factory strider every time. It will also dismantle all bunker turrets from an entire side of a Fortress, allowing you to get close enough to throw airstrikes or orbitals. Also destroys command bunker defenses. Shield relay is such an underrated strategem because it creates defendable positions in what would otherwise be a killing field.

>>539083734
You can one shot factory strider by shooting its eye with Recoilless Rifle or whatever the SPEAR aims at
EAT/ quasar cannon requires two shots to kill(?)

>>539084301

can you abstain from posting tips unless you've got at least fifty hours of in-game time

>>539084416
no

>>539084416
>doesn't know about sentry supremacy
I have 850 hours in missions.

>>539083734
Hulks have a lot of solutions. If you have AP4 (Heavy penetration), go for the eye slit. It's flimsy with AP4 and instantly kills it. If you have AP5 or higher, aim for the main body because chances are if your support weapon is AP5 or higher (Rated as Anti-tank), it will one or two shot it to the main body. If that's still too much, you can aim for the legs with Heavy Penetration in a pinch to disable/slow down the Hulk while you reposition.

As for Factory Striders, there's no real universal solution. Take Anti-Tank and shoot them in the soft belly if you can reach it safely, or go for the head. It has head armor that breaks open then exposes the head itself, but if you have good enough aim you can go for the glowing eye which is part of the head and unprotected by armor, letting you bypass needing to bust it open first. The turrets are the most dangerous aspect of it, so make sure you try to get rid of them with medium pen weapons or higher (They're immune to explosives damage though) before you try to kill it.

The game doesn't pose any mechanics that I can't solve by myself. Therefore co-op is optional. It's just a dispassionate take on things. Once difficulty 11 is here and fucks hard I'll consider sticking with my squad more. Until then I'm in the right. Simple as.

>Regular mines

Okay-ish, I think it does more damage from the fire DOT but gas is better imo
>Gas
Stops minor chaff in their tracks, and is way more forgiving than Incen when teammates accidentally set them off. Probably doesn't do as much damage as incen(?) but fire isn't going to stop a bug from walking up to you, okay against other factions too. Best overall in my opinion
>Anti-tank
Can't say much, don't really use them

really makes you think...

>>539088363
AT mines are quite nice since other divers (normally shouldn't but sometimes swedish incidents happen) don't set them off. Not to say you should toss them INTO your team, but if you make some distance from the breach you can put it between you and your team and still be relatively safe even if it's a little close while protecting them from team mates throwing gems and shit into the breach.

Gas mines are great though. Throw them into a breach or use them to create a buffer zone that while annoying and harmful to your team, doesn't instantly kill them if you happen to have a bad toss or they meander into it.

>>539088363
Gas mines are definitely not a meme. Drop it on breach as it starts and you're getting at least 30 kills out of these mines without having to deal with the range of napalm barrage and you can just stim through them if you want and if the breach is on objective you can still complete it rather easily using them as chaff deterrent.

One shudders to imagine what repulsive chud gestates within this general as we speak

>>539089874
The diggers and dragon roaches are badly designed, unfair bullshit =/= difficulty

>>539089962
Looking back, ever since I started using gas mines I don't remember the last time I used the standard orbital gas strike, it kind of gets eclipsed as far as set-and-forget area denial go.

Oshaune as been the most fun i've ever had with this game even with all the bugs

>>539090414
Stop trying to evade your stim taxes chud.

EAT is much more convenient than Commando surprisingly. Commando might be 4 shots but the cooldown is much longer and you have to aim the thing more accurately. Landing 2 shots on a moving target is more difficult than one quick rocket and there will be times you miss the weakspot. Not to mention you're not actually getting rid of that much juggling because if you're calling down an EAT you're going to be using one immediately and taking the other for later.

>>539088385

commando one shots war striders if you shoot the joint it's the only pratical use for them if we're talking meta it's not a bad stratagem just a worse EAT

I only keep ending up solo because I have terrible tunnel vision and keep staying back to try to kill everything while everyone else proceeds to the next objective

I just stopped giving a shit and just use what I want. lib conc is so fucking bad that I just abandoned the idea of leveling everything to 25

Do you think Super Earth would send a recover team to pick up all the unused EATs and leftover gear on the map after a mission? It seems extremely wasteful to just leave them there.

I appreciate the functionality of backpack stratagems but spending slots on them feels bad. They should start being poi gear on d10 already.

The only other upsides that the LibConc has is its durable damage (30) and it being unaffected by deflection angles.
Tbh, giving it nuts durable and/or medium penetration would probably make it fine.

bots are just less AIDS. once their difficulty gets scaled up and interior structure added they'll still be less AIDS. simply because you can counter a bot with good terrain use and awareness. bugfaggotry doesn't involve such nuances. it's just a retarded grinder.

>>539074129
not a new faction, but simply a new enemy thats a mission modifier like roachs or hivelords

Automation railgun snipers. They will try to keep a distance of over 100 meters from a target, and if they arent actively being shot at, will start to fire at you until you break LOS for more than a few seconds, which they will reposition and try again. Since a sniper would be a deadly enemy, only one would spawn at a time. Too many, and you'll get a problem on your hands after ignoring them for too long.

>>539099916
Arc as a damage type is pretty powerful (if they haven't fucked with this nade's AP values). Too bad these nades don't break spawners, so they're delegated into the meme category.

>>539082726
>Bots
There's two general approaches, and a couple rules of thumb.
Your two approaches are use a precicion based weapon to tag bot weak spots, or use something medium pen, ideally explosive, to clear them. The first relies on range, cover, and positioning, the second relies on either reflexes or tankiness, and situational awareness. Do not play bots until you have a primary that can fill one of these two roles. You cannot engage with bots with the stock loadout above low levels. A marksman rifle, or reliable medium pen primary are required. As much as it's good anywhere, bots are where the Eruptor truly shines, if you have it.

Bots are generally the faction where heavy armor is at its best. Heavy armor makes you survive a lot of dangerous shit, and makes you very resistant to single stray shots. Fortified Heavy in particular makes you damn near immortal in the face of about half the faction.
For bots, you NEED reliable AT options. Probably two. Thermite, EATs, Quasar/RR, this kind of shit. 500s can work, barrages are somewhat unreliable.
Bots as a faction want to pin you down. Do not let that happen! Stay on the move, have your escape options in mind, or be ready to just push through. Bots are slow, if you fall back, you will almost assuredly have time to call down supplies and gear before it's a problem again.
Bots give you the privilege of dealing with chunks of their base infrastructure from afar, in a way bugs and illuminate rarely do. Take advantage of that. Use 500s to blow shit up, snipe fabricatorsfrom across the map.
Detector towers are your priority 1 to deal with.
Learn to look for canon towers, and deal with them. Remember that shooting one alerts it to you, and it usually takes a few shots with your AT of choice if it doesn't hit the radiator

*Imagines the repulsive larvae that gestate within the gloom as I type*
*shudders*

>>539099916
they're quite good actually

>>539099916
They're actually pretty solid.
If you have spawners covered (eruptor, crossbow, grenade pistol), and want the harpoon, the arc is a natural compliment to this.
Gas is generally better (as it usually is), but, this is probably the next best thing to gas

just starting playing against bots
is it worth trying to take down drop ships? I feel like they often take several rockets, and they drop the bots really fast...

>>539100647
>>539100819
>>539101106
Oh that's interesting. I've been using the thermites since forever but I think I'll switch to these for a while then.

>>539101432
The chair turret and the rocket turret are pretty good for taking them down. I don't think using your own ammo is a particularly good idea at higher dificulties. Mostly because there are too many coming in at once. you are better off prioritizing tank drops than all the ships with support weapons.

>>539101432
at worst bring a rocket sentry and let it deal with them

>>539101432
If you can reliably hit the thruster while it’s heading for the drop flare, go for it, can't? it’s a waste

>>539102037
Comedy!

>>539101432
it's more productive to take something that can kill bots while they're still on the dropships. autocannon flak is probably the most convenient way to do this, but GL, GP, airburst launcher, and emplacements work too.

>>539102037
A tale old as time.

>>539101432
no
unless you target the main body, hitting the engine is griefing
in most cases it won't kill anything that's important the dropship carried and will instead just create cover for them
retards love to do it though because every now and then the dropship carries just troopers and that makes for an epic yellow skull

>>539103779
>What is this fucking thing fooor
It's for finding in missions. No, really.
It sucking is a tax you pay for a "free" support weapon. You simply shouldn't have taken it, 5 head.
No, this doesn't really make sense, but that's the logic. Also why the railgun and arc thrower are shit.
The Stalwart is okay, and the flamethrower is good in defiance of nerfs just because of the way it works.

>>539088363
Gas mines. They are the only mine that doesn't kill you when you step on it, and it gives you time to stim out of the cloud. They are also basically tiny gas grenades that persist on the map until extraction. My personal favorite combinations are gas mines + either orbital napalm, eagle napalm, or Tesla Tower. You lay the mines on a breach first, let the bugs collect in the gas cloud for 10-15 seconds, then drop the orbital on them for maximum destruction. Or you just stick a Tesla Tower in the middle of a mine field and watch everything chasing after you immediately disengage to chase the tesla into the minefield. It prevents bug heavies like Chargers from instantly targeting and destroying your tower. Mines + tower are my go to on city maps because they are the only sentries and mines are the one startegems guaranteed to land where you throw them instantly instead of waiting for your ship to reposition.

>>539089565
It seems to kill more things when you drop it. I've gotten a few 20+ kills from a 500kg on a breach, but the Silo will give you much larger numbers for some reason. It also respawns pretty fast, and you can delete things from across the map. It's also fun to Silo solo fags (((accidentally))). You can also guide the missile like a commando.

>>539089962
Gas mines are also great when combined with a supply pack and gas resistant armor. As long as your team knows what you're doing and does eagle or orbital you, running around inside the gas cloud mowing enemies down with a machine gun (for me, it's Stalwart for bugs and squids) is peak fun. It also works well for a setup to portable hellbomb a drop. Gas + gas resistance makes it significantly less of a suicide mission, and you can plant the bomb right in the middle of a swarm while they wander around inside the cloud.

So I hear alexus is hard at work changing weapons that deal explosive damage into dealing "projectile damage" while making most enemies immune to explosion damage.
Can I get a QRD?
Should I NOT be shooting the hivelord with my RR into its exposed flesh? Do I need to change AC to flak instead of AP?

They need to nerf the Slugger. It makes every other shotgun, and short range medium pen primary a waste of time.

>>539088363
Mines in general are "generally" better than turrets, for putting between you and the enemy, and keeping them away. The dispenser itself has the same aggro mechanic as turrets, so they are also handy to just fling out at random, to fuck patrols.
Of course, the main problem is your dipshit teammates will run into them over and over and over and over in a conga line of death. You WILL watch the same retard die in the exact same fucking mine field three or more times in a row. You WILL call put your minefield, and watch someone sprint to it and die before the ping even expires. You WILL put a minefield in a place that you will never need to go for the rest of the mission, and watch two teammates wander off that way and die. Thus, they are also a host weapon, because if that retard is the host, they will probably kick you. Tag the dispenser if you care to, sometimes it helps.

Anti personnel are kind of a meme. Incindiaries functionally do everything they do, but better.
Incindiaries are probably the most generally lethal mine. Kill small enemies outright, larger ones will light on fire and die in short order.
Gas mines are probably the best overall choice. Won't instagib allies, they can stim through it and leave. They are much less immediately lethal than ap or fire, but are functionally a lot more to regular enemies. Heavies may eventually waddle out of the field, but regulars and mediums will never escape, something that will occasionally happen with the others if put directly on breaches/drops/ect.

AT mines are weird. Only heavies set them off (usually), though you can set them off yourself by shooting them. They get better the higher difficulty you go; when a breach has like 6 chargers in it, these will reliably go off. Probably the best option for factory convoys that doesn't take a warbond, as well (orbital laser is still breddy gud). Unspeakably ass vs illuminate.

>doesn't take 10e1000 hours to be reloaded from empty mag
don't empty the mag, but even if you do, reloads are staged, you don't need to load all 10 to resume firing

>>539107902
Those all have less ammo, reload slower, some lack round reload, they have less stagger, and you can't hit shit with them past medium range. Meanwhile the slugger has no weaknesses. It smashes through bugs, it drops most bots with a single shot or headshot, and basically just has no points of failure. The slugger is good and reliable in every situation, usually functioning just below more specialized weapons that suck ass at anything besides their specialty.

Slugger can stunlock almost anything. It needs to be giimped for balance reasons because right now there's no reason to use anything else.

>>539106810
Inner meat is immune to explosions (probably to prevent it from instantly dying to hellbombs)
Outer shell is fully vulnerable to explosives, but only transmits 10% of damage taken to main. Splashing plates with explosives does help chip it, but the goal is to crack them open and get meat damage. The mouth is fully vulnerable to everything, and does triple damage, but can be hard to hit.

Plan of attack is use high damage explosives to crack the armor open, then fuck it up with high damage/sec other weapons, and eagle strafes.
Flak would be better for autocannon into the meat, since the shrapnel does okay damage, but really, the autocannon is more for phase one of cracking it open. A bit of coordination on the team for this is actually ideal, since what makes up an all-in-one hive lord killer build is pretty damn unviable for higher difficulty bugs in general, and playing just one part of it is fine. Autocannon for the outside, and eagle strafe & whatever primary for the inside is fine contribution from any single player, especially if they're also getting shit done on the map, killing other heavies and stopping breaches, and all the other important shit that needs to happen. If you want to build more for worm hunting, you want a patriot exosuit, eagle strafe, and probably either recoilless, Quasar, ect. Magdump patriot rockets into a single plate if you can, use recoilless/whatever to help burst that first plate down, so you can start chewing meat ASAP. Getting the first plate cracked open is the single most important step to actually killing it, so just using an AC to contribute to that is actually really helpful. Just make sure you're focusing on a single plate, and are coordinating with everyone else in terms of which plate you're targeting. Opening multiple is nice, especially if they're next to eachother, but the first one is most important, so all those patriot bullets can go in, and those eagle strafes can start chunking it down.

What if... We take some of the stuff that makes Pelican armor... And use that to make our mechs out off...?

>>539109528
Assuming each armored "segment" of meat is a part (and I'm pretty sure it is), a hellbomb going off at the base would probably score a clean hit on 4 or 5 segments, plus like 3 or 4 more taking partial from edges of the radius.
PLUS the 10% from double that many armor segments, call it an extra regular segment and a half.
A close range hellbomb would be doing that 10k like, 8 or 9 times over.
So 2 hellbombs.
Unless you got a god placement on it right as it curled up to puke everywhere, then it actually would be just one.

Well, yes, because the inner meat is immune to explosives. And that's why.
8 would be on track for my theory, because it SHOULD be 15 if you're just doing it 1-1, it taking less means it's hitting more than 10 armor plates each time.

otherwise the machine gun sentry and/or rocket sentry are good picks
can't go wrong with EATs or gas mines either

weapons are up to you, but the default rifle is honestly pretty solid, as are frag nades. if you truly can't aim, use the punisher or breaker. if you have any medic armor, use that

for me there are some that can compete with it. namely 120mm HE barrage, EAT, supply pack, and autocannon. whole bunch of stratagems you just can't go wrong with.

I NEED a first person mode.

Super sheriff light armor is so ass but combined with a cowboy hat mod I cant wear anything else

>>539114453
I really hate that mechs and FRV don't have first person perspective, that's so lame, obviously doing a full blown universal first person mode is less than feasible but vehicles should have it at least.

>>539113945
actually referring to an anecdote about how if norway or wales or some other small western yurop nation that I can't remember spent its annual military budget on a b2 bomber and its fuel, they could afford to drop manure (one of their main exports) on a neighboring nation something like 30 times every single day for a year

This enemy confuses me.

Idk who needs to hear this, but if you bring Gatling Barrage for Hive Lords on Hellmire, make sure you know where your destroyer is. Don't just throw the beacon at the ground next to it. If your destroyer is to the north, throw it on the south side of the Hive Lord and waaay more of your shots will connect.

>>539115220
Im not going to look it up but I bet it's because limbs (cannons and nade batteries) don't transfer any damage to the main health pool

>>539115220
>>539115220
it confuses me as well, that's why i just pop a thermite and don't ever care about it again

>>539115220
Eagle Rocket Pods will hit ALL rockets ONLY if the beacons lands EXACTLY on top of the target.
If the beacon doesn't land on top of the target, it will target with half the rockets the closest priority target.

>>539114630

>>539115447
>grenade launchers do not transfer any damage to main
>and have 100% explosive DR
>fusion cannons transfer 100% of damage to main with 80% explosive DR
Huh. Still though, a single rocket from Eagle Rocket Pods should be able to destroy the grenade launcher or fusion cannon on hit.
Wondering if there's some other innate damage resistance bullshit going on.

Pls our QA team can't handle 10 minutes of working per month

>>539120169
Zero. It's very clear where their priorities are. Somehow, it has to get worse before they'll pay attention. It has to actually break people's hardware, and still RUN but not CRASH at like 20fps constantly with stuttering and freezes, with disappearing enemies and even more invisible instakills.

literally every update feels sloppier than the last

>>539120374
>It has to actually break people's hardware

But Anon we have all of this already

>>539119805
>>the game now bricks hardware
I only know of a single example and it was likely caused by a problem with the latest windows update, not the game. if the game really was destroying computers surely there would be more of an uproar with more examples

It's clear when they'll pay attention

>>539120547
Clay's SSD got bricked because gameguard had his rig freeze while recording, then corrupted the recording to blow up to a massive size and that then did the bricking. None of this would've happened without gameguard is the point. Besides there's tons of other reports of the game shutting down PCs or hardlocking them. Granted it's not bricking, but it's also not very healthy for a game to be doing that

>>539112898
Even ignoring the spall liners, no. Small arms fire isn't doing SHIT frontally vs a modern MBT. At best you might be able to break some external things like break some exterior cameras or damage the active protection system. You aren't doing fucking shit to the crew compartment of an MBT with a 50-cal.

>>539120534
It's not this bad yet. Older hardware is dying, but modern hardware is still able to play the game with decent frames. I have a 5800x3d, 16GB RAM, 4070 12GB and turning down some of the YUGE settings and running at 1080p with Nvidias new framegen cheating, the game runs pretty well until it doesn't.

I think that consistently running like trash is actually worse than crashing out. Crashing just resets you, but people get PISSED if its minutes upon minutes of horrid frames.

>>539121052
Nigga has a minimum thousand dollars PC and has to "turn down settings" and play with frame hallucination so the "game runs well until it doesn't.
Fucking GRIM.

>>539121052
Idk negative reviews are already flooding in and player numbers are dropping

>>539121052
>Older hardware is dying, but modern hardware is still able to play the game with decent frames
you say that but for like 8 months I ran the game on a GTX 970 and got around 45 to 50 frames pretty consistently without any stuttering or slow downs. people would complain they would get less and less frames every single patch but my shitbox that surely would have been affected the most by it never experienced any loss of performance. is this people running shit on maximum settings? or people running it at like 196 FPS and then complaining they lost 10 frames?

>>539121527
