>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, each with a different biome, completing as many objectives as possible in a procedurally generated level while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful missions, a planet can be defended or liberated, and the player base must 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.

I thought your dastardly kraut nemesis was the one supposed to be smashing his own shit in rage so how come

>>544691428

You and I are inundated with propaganda every single day, and if you think you're not then I can see why allowing Super Earth to remain a narrative gag appeals to you.

i never got enders game personally, i find it hard to believe that a space faring bugoid species would disregard all the evidence of reconnaissance that would point to the species they're about to invade being composed entirely of sentients rather than sentient queens+drones (in the book lets not bring the reality of that in here) and then be somehow shocked that they're so totally different after invading anyway.

>You and I are inundated with propaganda every single day

>allowing Super Earth to remain a narrative gag
I don't know what you're hoping for. Do you really think there's going to be some paradigm shift where Super Earth are portrayed as unimpeachably virtuous?

This game is just bunch of European libertarian nerds having a laugh. It 'satirizes' amerimutt military excesses but only from this kind of "heuheuheu these americans sure are silly and violent heuheuheu" looking down on it perspective, not from any kind of strong, opposing political view.
If you really want this game to have some kind of overarching moral message then it is that Democraps are the real racists.

>>544696498
SV, PP, CA, and MoC all get you at least one pretty good thing to add to your loadout, so I'd worry about them first.

At first we were going to have Oshaune done in 2 days or less and now we can't make a dent into the liberation but watch as on the last 2 days of the MO, we magically start being able to progress again because Joel willed us to do so. Imagine thinking we make any difference in this bullshit GW

>>544695361
Why does this keep happening?
I saw it 4 missions in a row yesterday.

>>544695361
Who fucking cares? As long as we got the main objective done, it's all good. Are people that fragile that not extracting affects them this much?

>>544696498
use this

>>544695361
This game does an incredibly poor job of signifying that the only thing that matters impact-wise is completing the main objective. Everything else is side-dressing. The side missions, the bases, the samples, your fucking lives on extract, all purely just there for secondary rewards.

>>544696498
>cutting edge C tier
how the mighty have fallen

Bless our holy game devs

>>544698183
but why would anyone care about the impact?
I wager that 99% of the players mainly care about the xp and samples, while the whole "galactic war" bullshit is just background noise

>>544695108
The issue is never deeper or more meaningful than Redditors/Shitlibs are all midwit pseuds who confuse being contrarian to whatever mainstream American conservatives are up to at that moment in time with being deep or intelligent. They're just stupid faggots, there's nothing more to read into it than that. If the GOP went full-socialist, they'd suddenly become free market libertarians. They only like socialism/communism as a "FUCK YOU MOM/DAD/PASTOR MIKE" maneuver.

>>544698370
THERE'S A GALACTIC WAR???

>>544697893
>Are people that fragile that not extracting affects them this much?
Did you forget that this is the same fanbase that review bombs the game instead of lowering the difficulty?

>Liberate Oshaune,
>at any cost.
>*gets distracted by dumb fucking bullshit anyway*
Only the playerbase is to blame for being fucking shit at reading and/or thinking.
This shows that the only way to "fix" galactic war is not to make it "more community driven" but to somehow make it more railroaded. Da communitay wouldn't be able to make anything out of being given more freedom anyway.

>>544698370
>I wager that 99% of the players mainly care about the xp and samples, while the whole "galactic war" bullshit is just background noise

Works on my machine. You probably just want more buffs. The rest of the garbage in your post was to hide that fact.

Why are they like this? Why do they insist I care?

>>544694701
I think the only argument for any of this is with the OG HD1 illuminate, who offered peace and were clearly not at all interested in warfare but SE's govt felt mogged by their tech and pulled an iraq war on them.
Current illuminate are basically vengeful diaspora jews gaza-ing our planets.

Something modern day libtard socialist types (read; all northern europeans) don't understand is that political policy is low resolution and exists in the world - not an ideal world.
Is it nice to be heckin imperialistic? Of course not. But in real life it's still better to be the mongolians erecting statues to a nigga who raped so many women he changed the asiatic gene pool than be a cuck about it and become nigeria by 2100 as most western nations will be, justified by their own varied "crimes" of slavery or native genocide.

The funniest thing is that in fiction you can make the retarded faggotry libshit politics work because you can have an ideal world where having a negative societal origin myth isn't a death sentence - yet they chose to make the helldiver universe a place where a galactic-scale war is possible, with gigantic human meat blenders, weaponized black holes, and nigh-unstoppable xenomorphs (who are also a pre-req for having spaceship fuel).
At this point the second Super Earth became anything less the balls-to-the-wall hyperzealous imperialist lunatics they are, they'd immediately be overrun and exterminated. >>544695053 is correct about what the "media literacy" is pointing towards.

I don't disagree, but solving predditors doesn't make them fun either. Max out your short range shit. Spam stagger and other cc. It's the most low IQ gameplay this already very undemanding game poses.

Predditors should just be basegame bugs.

>>544701402
Im not trying to make you buy anything. Im saying melee in Helldivers 2 intense moments fucking suck and its why predditor strain is so unfun

>>544695496
Wasn't a point about the bugs in Ender's Game that, even though the queens are a hivemind whose consciousnesses do extend to their drones, killing a few drones between competing queens is seen as not a big deal?
I don't know much about the while series, just read the first book (and as a kid I started skipping over the political chapters).

drop 2 or 3 of them in a wall while you're running away and you'll break line of sight. run behind a different wall and they'll only know to look around the smoke. very efficient for disengaging on city maps unless you're in the middle of a park, also works on other maps if you've got cover to run behind. i only do this on bots though.

Just a weird fucking ego trip these people get because they paint everyone else as some imaginary person that doesnt exist and sets the bar so damn low

>>544717008
you should lower the difficulty so the map is smaller and there are fewer objectives. I'd hate for any more of your time to be wasted playing the game

Damn, a reason to switch ammo with the Halt against Bots? Crazy idea desu, they'll never go for it.

>>544719130
Finally someone gets it. Youre probably the only other good player in this entire thread.

Hive lord would be cool if it was a main objective, and had maybe a few supplemental main objectives to go along with it. Something like:

>Destroy Bug Eggs
>Destroy Bug Eggs
>Eliminate Hive Lord

Perhaps the first part(s) of the objective(s) summon the Hive Lord itself. Having it as a random event nuisance would only be cool if it was like 1% of the time rare.

>>544719167
I know it's isn't fun to fight for you because your Stalwart can't 1 mag it to death, I got you bro. But saying the hivelord should be removed from the game, well that tells more about you than me, bro.

>>544719287
How about a gas pistol with 18 rounds, slow fire rate, abysmal bullet drop, doesn't pen armor, doesn't do damage, and maybe some of the time confuses enemies for like a couple seconds? Also silenced weapons that are just as loud (as far as the enemy is concerned) as full auto unsilenced assault rifles.

>>544719932
>Again, youre implying that I cant kill it
>Again, you have no argument.
not being able to comprehend my argument isn't me not having one, that's you being a retard

you don't like hive lords
you don't want to fight hive lords
hive lords only existed on very specific difficulties
if you didn't play on those very specific difficulties you never needed to fight hive lords
the solution to your problems (hive lords existing) was already present but instead of utilizing that solution you instead bitched and whined and moaned and complained

Personally I want Hive Lords back but not having them on the big rig missions makes it actually kinda fun.

>Still implying I cant beat the reddit lord
See this is why you will always be inferior to me. You fight the reddit lord because it reminds you of your favorite movie, avatar. All show and no substance. I kill the reddit lord because its a nuance. You kill the reddit lord because you get a warm tingling sensation when the game gives you 222xp.

This is honestly the main problem with all the difficulty talk. Both sides of the argument want to fight massive amounts of enemies, but the main thing lowering the difficulty does is lower the number of fuckers you get to fight. People who want a power fantasy and people who want a grunt fantasy both want to be hopelessly outnumbered, but swedes don't actually know how to balance their damn game.

Also yes I use LUT mods to make things the colors I want (fuck you sweden add customization to armor and support weapons) how could you tell?
Also-Also my fav would be the Reprimand but sweden raped it.
Talon is a crutch but it's the only way to not run out of ammo when randos gobble it all up halfway across the planet.

Really though there needs to be another category or different version of this with your preferred loadout - as shrimply naming fav strats in a category is good but not accurate to what (I, at least) use.

Is the talon or the senator the official redditor side arm?

Oh you're so right Björn I should just like and use all the useless bad garbage shit items in the game, that's super fun. I suppose I should also love the janky foggy swamp biome where you can't see, can't use eagles, get caught on invisible roots, and teammates light you on fire at least twice a game... because it's "hard". Makes it way better than snow-kino.
>>544723251
Probly Talon or >>544723419, and by "crutch" I should have said "dishonest". Talon is just an infinite Senator that shoots faster in 90% of circumstances, but useful in pubs as I said.

people will unironically argue a weapon is a crutch in the same breath they'll argue the game is too easy and every enemy is poses no threat

>>544722003
I could handle that if the game allowed that silliness to happen, but progression, orders, and themes all push people to this point. AH have only themselves to blame for the situation.

AT-emplacement is ofc one of the most dishonest crutches in the entire game, maybe THE most. I don't use it more than 2% of the time to meme because you don't even play the game when you use it if you get it on a hill. Actually not fun, but it's still the most interesting emplacement.

Resistance will "mysteriously" get smaller the closer we get to the deadline.

>>544725329
380s and Eagle Storm effectiveness would be reduced because an insufficient number of people will return to Oshaune to continue the op. The numbers are dropping every day.

Even during the Super Earth event Joel had to asspull more than a few gotchas so we could actually win. We weren't going to lose Super Earth for the same reason we won't lose Oshaune, because it doesn't fit the railroaded narrative.

>>544725673

That's the only case I would find palatable. Though even typing that out, I'm not sure of. Just envisioning stuff similar to a pic I've seen of some guy deployed in the Middle East dressed up as Santa on an HMG. Soldiers do goofy shit in the field, albeit it's probably on base and I imagine all that silly shit is thrown off when combat starts.

>>544728534
Cute!

>>544727240
I do appreciate that when they added weapon customization, they only added classic camos and some basic patterns

You know what would be great? If while you were forced to climb invisible things, you weren't allowed to use your mobility backpacks or stims.
That's a great mechanic.

>>544730041
You can separate the binding for climb and activating your pack. Also disable auto vaulting when sprinting.

what went so wrong with squids

>>544729734
I sincerely hope that's because they're still trying to limit the kinds of wacky shit they put into the game, but I'm starting to think it's just them being too lazy to do so.

>>544730201
barely any content ever since their release
still not a full faction after almost a year
less xp per mission than the other factions

>>544730198
While in climbing animation, you are locked out of doing everything else, though.

>>544730201
Music is cool.
Shields are cool, like the tripod and ships and shit.
Except the faction isn't based on tech and shields, it's voteless which are more plentiful terminids and fleshmobs are chargers without weakpoints (patch changes very little).
Flying overseers weren't even that deserving of a nerf but they were so annoying they got nerfed anyway.
Squids is the worst of bugs and bots mixed in to one. Hopefully cultist squids totally rework the faction.

>>544729254
The only idea I have that wouldn't clash with the rest of the game is if they made up bastardized versions of holidays to fit with the lore. Like Christmas turns into Economic Stimulation day where all citizens are encouraged to spend money on usless bullshit for a 200% mark up in order to support the brave corporations that drive humanity's expansion. Then you can pay 10,000 req slips or whatever for a medic armor reskin that has the permacura logo on it.

>tier 6 patriotic administration center upgrade:

>>544730829
+1 updoot this idea. Only problem is swedes currently have 1 (one) annual holiday in the entire game and they can't even give us more than a reskinned cape for what should be the biggest in-game event of the year.

each upgrade will cost the sample cap of every type

They really fucked themselves with the helghast equipment giving away half of it for free after overcharging for the first half. There's just way too many variables to be able to push it out fairly (And stable too probably) unless they just give whole thing for free or like 5sc a piece...

Also anyone else notice the helghast assault rifle wasn't touched to keep up with the liberators last patch? It just keeps falling further and further behind when it was already pretty shit...

>>544731182
that's nothing
that's a week of grinding at absolute worst for lifetime of batshit op upgrades

they use the same ammo type as base lib so whenever lib gets a dmg buff so does the sta and the stalwart if i recall correctly

>>544731351
>ENABLE IFF Systems
Kek, didn't even notice that.

>>544731250
what's so OP about them?
does getting a second HMG or stalwart really break the game? if anything it allows for more team coordination since you can free up a blue slot on some one elses loadout for another red or green
A 380 shell being able to maybe kind of sometimes hit something is OP? 5 meters in game is fucking nothing, it's like barely over 1 meter in real life
turrets already get a 50% ammo increase so why not emplacements that nobody takes other than the AT emplacement?

>>544730201
They're still an incomplete faction, is the main issue.

>less unit types than other factions
>fewer mission types than other factions, both main objectives and sub-objectives
>still no open map type with no colonies or Megacities
>still no Mega Fort at D10

Fighting squids at D10 feels like any other faction at D8. The challenge simply isn't there, and doing the same sub-objectives over and over and over no matter the mission (kill 50 Overseers, blow up a Cognitive Disruptor, etc.) is just boring shit.

>>544732040
Cookout is one of the best guns for bugs because it has great stagger, halo one is good until it runs out of ammo.

>>544730201
Having grinded them out for 7 weeks, they need more variety. Not just enemies, it's fucking insane how little mission variety there is.

>>544731858

honesty I forgot those two were a thing and did just imagine it was going to be jump packs and guard dogs, yes
>semi guided munitions
>turns retardproof reds into baby railcannon strikes
Again, 5 meters is nothing. Pic related is 5 meters away. ORC can correct dozens of meters. the inner radius of OPS/380mm barrage shell is already 4 meters so a 5 meter correction basically just prevents near misses, it doesn't make it into a railcannon.

If you can't painlessly touch your toes while standing you are actually debilitated. The same goes for anyone with too much trouble lining up their shots on a gun that has less than 30 ergo value. It's simply not all that hard to compensate for.

>>544728769
>comes completely unarmed
>can attach and detach support weapons instead

>>544732040
Only ones I found worth while for the long run were the cookout and halo shotty. First one backs up the dmg with fire and stagger while the other one hits like a truck against soft spots although you only have 6 shots in the tube and only light pen.

>>544732610

>>544732040
Not sure if this is enough to actually affect it, but technically they got nerfed when warriors got a durability buff. The slugger got more damage, but the others stayed the same.

>>544730945
Your ideas suck, here are better ones.

>Patriotic Administration Center: Ordnance Logistics Mainframe
When picking a support weapon with an ammo backpack, you also get an independent calldown which only calls down the ammo backpack, stratagem code is based on the specific weapon. For example, if you picked the Spear (stratagem code vv^vv), then you automatically get a stratagem "Spear Ammunition" with stratagem code v>vvv^vv that calls down only the ammo backpack and has an independent cooldown with the same duration as the support weapon.

>Orbital Cannons: Shell Mounted IFF
Orbital stratagems deal 70% less damage to players, so occasionally it is possible to survive standing too close to an artillery impact.

>Hangar: Point Defense Guns
Shuttles mount a Machine Gun Sentry underneath each wing, which automatically fires at nearby targets any time a shuttle flies in (extraction, dropping off vehicles/exosuits, etc.)

>Bridge: Penetrating Radar
The mini-map continues to function during Atmospheric Spores and Ion Storms, but enemy ping range is halved.

>Engineering Bay: Bioelectric Triggers
Mines no longer detonate when dead enemies land on them.

>Robotics Workshop: Titanium Alloy Plating
Exosuit armor plating is upgraded to be stronger without increasing weight, improving armor rating of all body parts by 1.

>>544732778
>weapon would benefit from some zoom
>4x and 10x are the last ones you unlock

>>544731429
Huh, that's both weird and very lazy of them.
Though even with that it's still worse by just the fact it can't be modded, making it still just as useless when you literally START with the liberator.

Hopefully they do something with it IF they ever make it available again. Along with the armor passive... and the Halo armor passive... and still the halo and helghast weapons that're still falling behind even with their buffs...Though I've learned to not waste too much hope for anything good when it comes to these devs anymore... not without the monkey paw curling as well at least...

I miss it like you wouldn't believe

>>544732862
>Though even with that it's still worse by just the fact it can't be modded, making it still just as useless when you literally START with the liberator.
to counteract that, sta-52 has a slightly lower recoil than an unmodded liberator

Is the Halt any good just as a med pen shotgun?

>>544733035
do you like the punisher but wish it had medium penetration in exchange for little knockback?

>>544733035
slugger feels better but there's only 2 ap3 shotguns so just use whatever you want

>>544733035
it feels really lame to use
it has massive spread, no stagger and low capacity
unless you rebind the weapon menu, switching to stun rounds is also pretty awkward

>>544732610
What if i can touch the floor painlessly and I still can't aim? Checkmate nerd

>>544733035

>>544733250
>you now remember the weak ass shredder missile siren from hd1

>>544733035
It’s really strong not not because of the med pen part, the stun rounds stun all small and medium bugs in one shot and the spread is massive so you stun loads of bug per shot. Use a GL or stalwart along side it and it’s the best get the fuck off me tool in the game.

>>544733517
If it had more damage and radius AND it was only a backpack slot I could see it being pretty good. But taking the support slot for the detonator is so fucking stupid and kills it. Would have worked with the new shitty smoke nades against bots too, you could take EAT/railgun/AMR with smoke nades and the C4 as your backpack so you still have explosives. Still wouldn’t be as good as just taking a recoilless and thermites but it would fit the theme and open up a niche.

>>544733569
Yeah but I can at least hit quickplay on bugs and bots and not have a 50/50 chance it's a blitz.

>>544731650
Just saw one of the cultist leaks for the first time. I have no idea why the swedes didn't take this route with the enemy types from the get go.

Not exactly uplifting to see a consensus on C4 coming with far too much opportunity cost when it's the only truly interesting and genuinely novel part in that whole warbond.

>Arrowhead makes a zelda game
What would it look like?

Just a reminder that the average troon from plebbit and the average chud from 4cuck have more things in common among themselves than they do with swiggers.

>oshaune still at 5%
Where is that retard who said the resistance lowers over time?

>>544734173
It’s a shame but 2000 damage with a pretty small aoe, only 7 charges for your backpack and support weapon just doesn’t do it. It’s also jank as fuck since you need to swap fire modes to throw and detonate instead of throw being primary fire and aim being detonate.

>>544734394
>>544734173
C4 is good and the ability to destroy all enemy bases in the mission at the same time while going to extraction has a lot of cool factor to it.

>>544734173
The armour will at least be nice and looks neat. Shame the didn’t make everything in it strong since it’s already pretty niche as a bot only warbond.

Wtf is this?

>>544734703

>>544734595
Should have been a cloaking backpack and C4 support weapon.

Heh....

>>544734394
They really do need to add a hotkey to cycle weapon modes. Autocannon and Halt would be significantly better if you could easily hot toggle between Flak/APHE and Fletchette/Stun without that uncomfortable interface.

>>544734173
C4 should have been a grenade you detonate with the reload key.

You see the problem there?
So far the ONLY crossover gun that isn't just a shittier version of its modded counterparts is the Halo Shotgun, and even that's getting shafted by being light pen in this asinine enemy armor and durability system they insist on making worse and worse. Hell most are still worse or just barely side grades to their UNMODDED counterparts. The Halo SMG sure as hell is.

Even the extra 10 damage on the MA5C barely even moved the needle; now it's only about equal with the unmodded Judi, which is STILL better in almost every way when fully modded! They should just make all the crossover weapons damage machines with mediocre stats in everything else like the shotgun, And at this point they wouldn't even have to do anything but raise their damages and they're there!

>>544737223
it's rather obvious
if FOMO guns were better than the accessible counterparts, it'd be bad PR
unmodded lib < sta-52 < modded lib

>>544736886
Fire got nerfed but it’ll still set shit on fire after a couple of shots, it’s main strength is the stagger power. You can keep a lot of bugs at bay by firing then reloading one shell over and over, the fires just a nice bonus. Halo shotgun can do the same but has less ammo and it’s in probably the worst warbond in the game.

>>544737223
If say light pen isn’t really a problem for it now on bugs at least now that you can leg shot rupture bugs, it only having 44 reserve shells is what really fucks it. Shame too because it’s the best looking and sounding shotgun by far, the others look like toys compared to it.

I just realized that diggers aren't fun because shooting at the ground isn't fun.
It's even less fun if you consider that the spewers are constantly blinding you with the little goo balls that have actually perfect tracking.

>>544737628

MA5C is one of the most controllable rifles in the game

>>544737628
The more they make new units and changes they make the more im convinced an entirely different studio made the base game.

>>544737628
They let out diggers? It's all stalkers here.

>>544737587
Yeah, it basically Requires siege ready to perform particularly well, but it at least has it's own niche, unlike all the very samey, weak bullshit they're turning everything else into. Though with these durability boost that were anything but "Slight", even the shotty is taking more shots to kill a lot of things, at least that I've noticed.

I want to fight normal bugs in the tunnels, bet it would actually be pretty fast. The tunnels would help them mob you but you’d still have a bit of time to react unlike pred strain. Rupture are just deeply boring.

You're a fucking dumbass.

>>544738267
Lol fucking why

>>544738179
At least the light siege ready gear with the ODST helmet makes you look a bit like a Halo 2 ODST, same for one of the upcoming stealth sets so that’s nice. Yeah i’ve noticed you need to land a lot more pellets on the same spot to one shot things it could one shot easily before which sucks, but it’s at least close to a side grade with the cookout, could easily be made amazing with some tweaks but could be worse. It could be the Halo SMG or pistol.

>>544738324
Because Joel gave us one week for the MO, realized we were on track to win it within 2 days, and slammed the brakes.

Custom settings for biome/mission type/enemies would be great. Or just modability in general. I wanna make a tunnel mission with nothing but pouncers, hunters, and warriors set to max spawn rates with near nonexistent breaks between breaches. Squid missions where every enemy is a leviathan or harvester for maximum lasers. Bot missions that are nothing but berserkers, or maybe one where every single objective is a gunship fab.
Just some kind of map editor so players could make up fun stuff.

>>544737223
>even that's getting shafted by being light pen in this asinine enemy armor and durability system
