>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. https://store.steampowered.com/app/553850/HELLDIVERS_2/ https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers-2/ https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/helldivers-2/9mx9wn9dfpgt
>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. https://store.steampowered.com/app/394510/HELLDIVERS_Dive_Harder_Edition/ https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers/
Haha, man they sure changed those hive guard AP values real quick! Excellent work from Arrowhead Studios for providing such a quick and prompt update! That must mean flame sentry and lumberer flame arm bugged range is finally fixed
>go to twitch >search helldivers 2 >look for streamer with high viewer count >ask them to join their lobby >drop in and teamkill them and their friends >quit
>>566698509 Stoker. It's extra good for predditors since it one shot headshots hunters, two shots stalkers, and the taped on crisper will staggerlock stalkers that get too close.
Hyper controversial things to admit on /hdg/ - Helldivers General >I like Helldivers 2 >I got my moneys worth out of this game >I continue to enjoy Helldivers 2 >Some of the updates are pretty good >I'm looking forward to playing more Helldivers 2 in the future >I don't mind spending real money to buy warbonds, a lot of them are fun and its worth it >I can use anything on any difficulty and it works fine the balance is pretty good >If I'm struggling with missions I can always lower the difficulty >If someone else is struggling with missions they can lower the difficulty >It makes sense that after seven years of development the devs have moved onto other projects to avoid burn out >Its fine to use third parties to support live service games >I don't mind if we're the good guys >I don't mind if we're the bad guys >Its fine if two weapons have similar or identical functions >Its fine to add weapons that will mostly be cosmetic alternatives >Making the game harder is fine there are lower difficulties you can switch to if it gets too hard >I am entitled to my opinion What other hyper controversial things can you not admit on /hdg/
>>566699694 maxigun is fun i like playing squids i like playing light pen i like killing leviathan i don't care about the galactic war i don't care about arrowhead
I present to you, a poem, titled "Ode to Super Credit Farmers".
Worthless poorfags. Subhuman third-worlders. Get a job you fucking filth. The devs should remove premium currency from the game and charge money for their warbonds. I would love to see it. I would KILL to see it! Your whining, crying, filled-diaper tantrums. Arrested by ICE. Beaten in a clearing in the middle of nowhere. God - any God, here - I want you to scream and suffer and die, I hate you so fucking much. FUCK ISRAEL AND THE PALESTINIANS. AMERICA SHOULD BLOW BOTH OF YOU UP AND TAKE THE RESOURCES FOR ITSELF. I enter your difficulty 1 missions and rush to the points of interest and open them to see if any SC are inside. And if there are... I leave them there without picking them up. Fuck you. Faggots.
I dont wanna go outside today so I wont. Diff 10 bots steam://joinlobby/553850/109775244755791163/76561198452730369 Might pop some amphetamine in a bit
Holy shit are we actually making progress on 3 (three) non-MO planets? Have they finally realized how dogshit their galactic war is? I haven't kept up with the drama
>>566703217 No but perhaps the CGW is going to make them seethe beyond measure after. It's already mainstream now since I see people posting it on reddit. Get ready for another controversy on the level of the PSN drama anon...
>>566703723 Custom galactic war. Basically modders got so tired of Udit's izzat farming simulator that they made their own GW. It will probably mog the fuck out of the official GW because the bar is that low.
>>566704309 The fact that discordtrannies got a UI working for mech customization means Swedes are unironically lower than the average tranny in terms of competence and work ethic. Grim.
>>566704373 Make no mistake, they can add shit. Especially some stitched together weapon customization menu. They just won't do it because that's a future content drop down the line and this game is supposed to last years while costing as little as possible.
>>566704309 Let me get one thing straight to your thick headed troglodyte skull you subhuman retard, this project exists because we love the game and it wouldnt be possible for us to create it if not for Arrowhead, so kindly buy yourself some rope.
>>566706008 >the galactic war is bad and modders would probably do a better job than swiggers >REEEE HOW DARE YOU BADMOUTH ARROWHEAD KILL YOURSELF Why are discord trannies like this?
Granted it'll never happen but I feel like a Combine themed Warbond would pretty awesome, even more so with a fully functional AR2 in it and maybe a manhack as the grenade. Even their radio chatter would fit pretty well into the game too.
Glitch just mentioned the modded Galactic War made by cheaters in his latest video some 12 hours ago. AH has 100% caught on (was just a matter of time) and I wonder what they're gonna do about it.
>>566709519 >I wonder what they're gonna do about it. In classic sweden izzat fashion, they will ignore it, say nothing, release EAC which will kill any mods possible and will be like "oh wow, how unfortante that EAC broke CGW mod, so sad ;-(((((("
>everyone just brought light pen and sprayed bugs anyway >even with already mediocre medium pen it was usually more efficient to shoot around the head >change exclusively negatively impacted medium pen by removing the one thing it could do over light pen while reinforcing the thing everyone already did >if anything it made them easier to kill genuinely what was their plan what was the expected outcome
>>566710275 AH doesn't think about what impact their balancing has. It's pure vibecoding, vibebalancing, vibeworking and vibedeveloping. Somebody just thought hiveguards having AV4 would be cool and that's that
As a cremator bug purist ive been having a lot of fun with the maxigun the last couple days Doesn't kill chargers and biles like I use to with cremator but its fun grinding bugs into mulch
>>566710275 >hive guard with AP3: you don't have to aim with certain ballistic primaries and two specific strong stratagems that already dominate bugs aren't bothered at all by an enemy designed to be a roadblock against their damage type >hive guard with AP4 you have to aim with all ballistic primaries and it can actually do its job of reducing the effectiveness of two specific strong stratagems that otherwise dominate bugs seems pretty clear to me
>>566711115 But then those certain ballistic primaries are completely pointless against bugs because they provide zero advantage in any situation over what were already the most popular ballistic weapons. They also didn't address the fact that the armor only covers a small portion of the body at an extremely specific angle so it just became a matter of luck whether they'd be approaching at an angle that saw sentries instantly kill them from the front or waste their entire ammo pool.
>>566711721 Light pen was already the ideal pick for bugs, it's the ideal pick for bots, squids too. Medium pen weapons generally suck. Taking medium pen to bugs just to headshot hive guards was some niche shit that wasn't even better than just shooting under their faceplate most of the time.
>>566712087 medpen is still great on squids against overseers in general and appropriator mechs specifically, and medium pen still has utility on bots for brute forcing devastators and scout/rocket striders while also letting you deal with heavies and gunships with your primary if you absolutely must.
>>566712339 Can you faggots stop advertising your pirated shithole version of the game where you're attempting to make money? You know that's going to get you raped by the law, right?
>>566712159 Good thing I didn't say all medium pen weapons suck. >>566712214 >medpen is still great on squids against overseers Average at best. >and appropriator mechs specifically Medium pen primaries do not have the DPS and ammo capacity for this to be anything more than a fallback solution. >brute forcing devastators Staggering a single devastator to death as you waste an entire magazine on his torso is not something I would ever do on purpose. >and scout/rocket striders I never see scout striders so light pen is ironically sufficient against rocket striders. >while also letting you deal with heavies and gunships Enemies are far too numerous for me to ever consider wading through 50 devastators to hunt tank weakpoints with a medium pen primary.
>>566713229 it feels really fun to use but right now the hitbox of the (light pen) arm pokes through the shield so you can just suddenly lose the whole arm and shield in an instant from something that it should've easily shrugged off
it's posted as a known issue so expect 1-2 years for them to fix it
>>566713787 >man AH is so fucked They know they have no actual competitors in this game genre in 2026 so players have literally nowhere else to run to for a 4play coop PvE game that is as mainstream-friendly as HD2. They will do nothing and still win.
>>566713970 I am not defending or supporting directly, I want competition of any kind and the swiggers to lock tf in after they see that furry discordtrannies do a better job than their 150 employee team (including 55 HR hambeast females that make sure nobody is acting racist). It is the only way the izzat farmers can understand that they need to actually start working.
>>566714078 I can respect that. If the faggots on discord can make mech customization, then AH needs to step up their game, and fast. >55hambeast HR females God, I fucking hate the thought of this so much
I wouldn't mind if that extraction shooter mode for the new Halo was just a straight rip off of HD2 Killing hordes of covvies with MAC cannon orbitals would be fun And with less crashes
>>566714076 >Yeah man its flawed dont play the private version that allows less players to have fun and liberate planets at a actually good pace instead of slogging through one planet per week, please play the normal version haha
>>566714331 >allows less players to have fun and liberate planets at a actually good pace And then mister GM has to launch a gorillion invasions you can't defend against because you can't win the war. It's a shit system, you can't fix it
>>566713695 but medium pen still gives you the options if you absolutely must which is the part you conveniently ignored to instead try and deflect with hyperbole
>>566714776 You can't win or lose in HD2, which is why the war is a boring stalemate and the players don't have a real impact It's just a set dressing for the content updates really
>>566714776 HD1 was set up to actually have win (capture all 3 enemy hole planets) and lose states (super earth falls), both of which would reset after 12 hours. HD2 doesn't have that yet, meaning it has to be micromanaged to ensure a constant stalemate rather than allowed to progress in a natural fashion.
>Job has good goy rewards program you can spend points on to buy shit. >Browsing and see Madden whatever for Piss5. >Guess they have dad/nig games on here? Switch filter to games. >Madden, some basketball shit, smash.....Helldivers 2. No wonder it's so bad on the weekends with retarded 150s that are impressed by a SEAF nuke. Reacting like they've never seen it before.
>>566717862 most bug chaff has body armor values lower than that of light pen weapons so there is no damage reduction most medium pen weapons have low magazine capacity and total ammo capacity which often serves to negate bypassing damage resistance in the first place when it would be applicable
so all things considered the exo warbond is actually really good? While the mechs need their bugs fixed, theyre still very good, and the pissile and bullet storm are both very good as well. The smg kinda sucks and the armor is meh but that's still a pretty decent score?
>>566719503 Oh, I see. That's understandable. I wouldn't want Timmy the glue huffer to fuck it up either, really. It sounds fun. I miss playing with anons.
>>566720353 >>566720359 >>566720419 This is embarrassing. Can you believe I work in IT? Guess I haven't had my coffee today. I removed the old patch files and it works now. Hurrrr.
>>566698271 Someone help me with my shitty memory. I swear that back in the ancient times of the game, patrols used to spawn on the edge of the map, then slowly progress to another edge until despawning or meeting players, whereas now they literally materialize in front of you. Is it true?
>>566720629 enemies spawn in the direction of intact outposts and from the closet map edge, this is always how it has worked. they do this even if you have line of sight to the spot they spawn. they only care about distance from the player, not line of sight. this has also always how it has worked.
except at the start of the game where it was SUPPOSED to work like that but patrols could materialize literally on top of you because the system didn't work
>>566721390 for annihilator tanks and cannon turrets: if you have a side view shoot the green part, it's actually part of the heatsink hitbox. If you only have a dead on front view or you're facing a shredder tank then throw a red at it, ignore it and flank it for a better shot, or call down an expendable AT instead of wasting time and ammo trying to kill them with the railgun. for shredder tanks shoot the rocket tubes don't bother shooting the hull on any of them
>>566722003 >Well excuse me princess for wanting to try something different s-s-sorry, I wanted to love the railgun too but everything on D10 revolved on me waiting for some proper AT chad to take care of things while I sit like a fucking sub femboy and wait for daddy to do his thing. That is simply not my fetish.
>>566720051 On one hand I understand the autism because Sony genuinely had Discord hit squads going around leak Discords to shut them down, on the other I feel like it doesn't matter because Sony can just work with Discord to find them and even if they simply relied on player reports there's no fucking way to verify if you are joining to ruin everyone's fun or not.
>>566722139 Just bring proper AT with you too in the form of EAT and use Railgun as a variety primary like a machinegun or such. >m-muh suboptimal!!!! you can only use rr!!!!! If you're so shit that you NEED all your strats to be optimal picks then you need to lower the difficulty.
>>566721390 Love me railgun, absolute small heavy shredder, but you can work a big heavy in a pinch. The biggest help I can provide you is this chart I've made, using chatgpt to help me calculate (mathlet) damage scaling per how much charge. Using the warning sound mod with the 4 beeps really helps you get the timing down.
>>566722594 Why? From what I know, railgun damage scales up to 90% charge, so I went out to find out what 90% of a 3 second timer is, and it's 2.70 seconds. And assuming damage scailing is liner, from 1x to 2.5x, I asked the ai slave to get me a linear table.
The penetration system and the fact that you can de-limb enemies is such a cool evolution to the shooter genre and it sucks that the developers clearly hate it and promote options that ignore it entirely
>>566722446 It is not a matter of being shit, more of a matter of NEEDING to take RR because otherwise AT enemies get out of control. Once I see my teammates rundive from a charger for more than 30 seconds and see 2 more bile titans in the distance I am always glad af I picked the RR.
>>566723202 I like to cripple alpha commanders so they can't do their stupid charge when you behead them. Tho I only do it when I run the dickle because wasting precious limited balistic ammo is always not worth it.
>>566722860 Ahhh shit just checked the wiki, the 1x damage starts from 0.45, not 0.3, so this throws the chart off by a few numbers, but eh pretty accurate.
>>566723645 >I can only think of factory striders. Not anymore, you could oneshot them in the foot with the RR before, but then they nerfed that so there is no point in shooting them in the foot 2 times when you can just shoot them on the side or ass 2 times for the same result.
>>566723202 Why aren't votless/mindless mass just enemies with crazy limbs you have to cut to kill. Imagine flesh mob that has hp of fleshmob in body. Insyead of heads its arms and legs coming out. shoot x number of limbs off and it dies. Even harvests and new mechs support shoot at limbs
Why aren't bugs armour faction. Peel of armour and shoot at shot innards. >>566723645 Harvester. WS. >>566723823 With RR. It's so easy to snipe the eye.
>>566723469 the damage also doesn't reach 100% until the full 3 seconds of charging. It does not max out at 90%. I've personally tested it using hulk heatsinks as a test case because they require almost a full charge to one shot. I was not getting one-shots at 90% charge. even using a mouse macro to get perfect 2.8 second charges it wasn't one-shotting them. I had to explode the railgun to get the one-shot
>>566724057 Fleshmobs are literally unfinished >blow off its arms: it can no longer damage you Makes sense >shred its legs to bone: it can still charge you ??? >destroy all its heads: it still lives AND can still see you ????????? Completely incongruent with the rest of the game's design philosophy and its own
>>566723645 shooting both claws off of hive guard and alpha commanders kill them outright taking out heavy devastator gun arms is a nice stop-gap if they're being dicks and hiding their head and waist with the shield destroying rocket strider rockets will kill them staff overseers die when their right arm (holding the staff) is destroyed if you destroy all the arms of a fleshmob its melee swipes can no longer hurt you
>>566724417 Lot of later enemies are like that. WS with it no weak spot and endless granades. Vox with head that dosent kill Dragons with immortal wings.
>>566724624 >Vox with head that dosent kill I'm still fucking mad. >why are you shooting at the charger's legs/butt, you should be firing at its heavily armored head >why are you shooting at the vox engine's head, you should be shooting at its tracks
>>566724973 >no going for the legs in the faction that usually has you go for the legs >no going for the head in the faction that usually has you go for the head >we don't want you to look at wikis for info but we will NEVER EVER make our game design intuitive
>>566725680 I hate Arrowhead but I hate the discord trannies even more for gatekeeping their crap, honestly fuck both of them I'm going to play some Factorio
>Lumberer >500 "capacity" on the flamer >same capacity as the cremator What is this retarded crap? How are you not able to carry more fuel on a fucking mech than on some helldiver's back?
It should have at LEAST double that. Preferably 2000.
>>566723202 >the developers clearly hate it Wrong. They're incompetent, they overbuff the shit out of weapons without realizing and once the genie is out of the bottle they can't nerf them back without getting reviewbombed
>>566727129 She's still part of AH's team and I sincerely doubt she would say something like this if she didn't ask a dev first If she was really talking out of her ass Arrowhead would say something because every other statement she says is absolute ropefuel
I think the real reason they moved the hurt box on the Lumberer flamethrower arm is because you could potentially burn your own mech down with the OG range.
>>566726817 >game launches, very easy to blast off limbs >this is in fact what makes commanders scary; it's easy to accidentally shoot the head off and power them up while de-legging them >devs explicitly get salty people understand the mechanics, nerfs begin >leg and non-fatal part damage get constant buffs to the point where the bleedthrough damage will kill enemies before the part breaks Genuinely grim that the devs can't handle a little fun.
>>566727430 >I sincerely doubt she would say something like this if she didn't ask a dev first do you have any idea how many times the devs have just talked out of their ass? AH literally had to stop the from posting AT ALL for the most part. On top of that Pilestedt literally said that even some changes IN THE GAME are done by developers without consulting. >pic rel
I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM I HATE NAPALM
>>566724238 Idk man, I think that particular spot just has weird properties, I ve had cases where I popped it with a 90% shot, and sometimes not. I think it's to do with the explosive part of the damage, but who knows.
The shield bash attack on the Breakthrough should out right 1 shot everything that isn't a Charger and Hulk, feel limp dicked as fuck bashing a basic bitch warrior bug with a giant shield and it just sort of stagger around
>>566727869 how the fuck are renegade balance changes even a real thing? don't they literally just submit a patch that shows the differences in code? like "line x damage value for liberator: 60 changed to 90" ???
>>566728427 i wish they made it so the shield is charged and glowing with some arc energy, it would have made it more cooler than a pure brute force shield bash
>>566728504 Strats that create space/confusion, panic buttons like gas grenade/stuns, weapons that have high dps or good range. Always be moving, yeah, keep looping enemies around things. Picking off major threats then leaving small fry until you have breathing room.
I feel like the only nigga in the universe using the Stim pistol, nobody I mean nobody have ever shot me with a stim pistol before but I've done it to other people millions times already, every time I'm out of stamina while running on a hot planet or on the brink of dying NO ONE EVER HELPED ME.
>>566729197 you are not a good person if you expect something in return while doing kind acts.
such is the fate of us healsluts - nobody appreciates the work we do. because, to be completely honest, we are more of a meme pick than anything since enemies kill in big burst damages, proving us useless unless we constantly prestim teammates.
>>566729834 hive guards don't need a rework and the fact that even after the revert people are still obsessing over it shows how retarded the community is
>>566731883 its common courtesy to remove the names in screenshots anon for all we know reddit discordtrannies will start reporting our accounts for le hecking racism
>>566731781 You're right. It's just the microplastics and carcinogens they've been feeding us and the social poison they've been forcing into our brains, all backed by the funding of zionist bankers and bought politicians for centuries
>>566732353 none of what you listed is what's causing you to be a massive failure in your life. it's nice you think so, but sitting around typing like an anime villain isn't what you should be doing to turn things around
>>566732517 >defending someone who can't into melee no reason to be mad at me
>>566732665 I'm not a massive failure. In fact I'm fairly confident I've achieved more than you. I'm simply acknowledging the struggle. This is a discussion board, anon.... you don't need to be so angry and hateful
>>566732665 i'm defending him because I too use the stim pistol. i'd defend a fat bastard if i saw their ugly grubby fingers wrapped around one of those stylish white life-savers.
>>566732665 >nooo you have to disperse the threat asap ASAP I SAY It's a single fucking hunter dude. You can press V and ignore it for a full 6 seconds.
>>566732969 >change the flame visual to be exactly the same as the Cremator >give it 2000 fuel >give the anti tank cannon 40 rounds There, now it can compete with the Emancipator
>>566732969 doesn't need fixing beyond the broken flames it'll be strong after that, it doesn't need triple ammo or the equivalent of a cremator and RR for armaments
>>566733473 >Emancipator can somehow store 100 rounds of 40mm cannon rounds inside each of it's arm >Lumberer can't hold more than 25 rounds of 75mm If the math is correct, the Lumberer should have about 50 cannon rounds for it's cannon arm.
>>566732969 the cannon is fine, it's literally jsut an AT emplacement gun. the flamethrower should be the longest range and highest DPS of any flamethrower since it's vehicle mounted
>>566733980 sorry saar we are saving the strongest flamethrower for the frv mounted unit where it will splash back and kill the vehicle and all occupants in 2 ticks of damage
>>566733968 Nigger the cannon can't even 1 shot a charger in the head, plus it's a 10 mins cooldown stratagem, you'd want it to last more than 3 minutes
>>566734169 >get in flame FRV >everyone gets toasted to a crisp within 3 minutes because the retard in the back keeps trying to shoot bugs in front of it >die because the driver was wearing Integrated Explosives armour and didn't stim
>>566734395 >straight p2w upgrade >can't kill shit with the flamethrower unless you're at blowjob distance when the minigun on Patriot have 1300 rounds with infinite range >the anti tank cannon can't 1 tap heavies so it's basically a sidegrade to the Patriot rocket pod with a bit more ammo you don't know what you're saying
>>566734848 >you don't know what you're saying >can't kill shit with the flamethrower unless you're at blowjob distance I'm pretty sure the problem is that they cant kill anything AT blowjob range. I think it's you that doesn't know wtf you're talking about, champ
>>566732969 Replace the flamethrower with double laser cannons. It'll still ignite and have heavy pen, but with ten times the range, near infinite ammo, and even higher DPS
>>566735148 Brother, I'm comparing the flamethrower to the minigun on the Patriot, which have more range more ammo more crowd control capability >b-but you can flame heavies to death that's what the AT cannon are for
>>566734848 >Patriot rockets is 14 shots with 1250 damage each, low speed and mediocre accuracy thanks to the odd off-set >Lumberer cannon is 25 shots with 1300 damage per shot, high velocity and pinpoint accuracy >Patriot gatling is a low accuracy MMG with an annoying spin-up and low effective range >Lumberer flamer can roast everything with decently high range for a flamethrower Clearly it's you who has no idea what he's saying
>>566734873 Spore bugs, the crossplay bug doubling spawns, maps when you specifically die twenty times to force more patrols, maps with less volumetric fog. It's 100% possible as its already in the game, the swedes are just too lazy to actually implement difficulty.
>>566735663 >>566734982 It's 777, basically the unholy clone of gucci, fun fact the shitter is still abusing the multiple armor passives bug, the one that makes your diver head disappear
>>566736513 Call me annoying, call me as bad as gucci. But do not call me deranged for noticing the exact same fucking annoying pattern occurring on a nearly daily basis.
>>566736791 Then maybe stop accusing every single person who says something so common as "lower the difficulty" as being gucci and maybe we will stop making fun of you, tard
>>566729197 Don't worry, I have totally real insider information that they're adding a primary stim grenade launcher. It fires impact stim grenades that heal everyone in a small area. But direct impacts will ragdoll whoever gets hit.
>>566736456 A few of them show up vs mindless. Shit tons of them appear with mecha squids. They shouldn't be an issue, but sometimes you get paired with niggers who never lift a finger to help kill them.
>>566740881 its the superior light pen primary, basically a stalwart in a pocket. it's usefulness grows more as you get more experienced in the game and become better at aiming if you dont "get" it now, leave it for later
>>566742924 They need to lower the center of gravity on this thing or something. It is way too easy to flip it. It's hard to describe unless you've experienced it yourself but if you play with a controller you can watch the thing defy physics as it responds to your directional input.
>>566744436 The tank actually sucks and it takes away 2 divers that could otherwise be way more effective on the ground. The tank is an armored autism anchor and nothing will change my mind
>>566744718 Yeah if the swedes dont do something really cool soon or make some big changes I'll probably just stop playing. After almost 2000 hours it's getting kind of boring and most of the old list OGs are gone now
>>566744436 >Some guy brings a tank to Zygos pred bugs pub match >I hop in to be the turret man >The fucking retard drives around a circle at the generator obj in a colony as multiple breaches are called trying to run over as many bugs as possible >Doesn't think to drive the TANK to a position far away where I can get a good sight on the breaches >It blows up super fast and he rage quits The playerbase just isn't ready for this kind of vehicle
>>566745415 >Every time some dude from /hdg/ brings it, it trivializes the mission Except that one time it gets stuck on a random pebble (actually it happens all the time)
>>566745415 Trivializes the mission for everyone in the tank. If you don't get in, then you're stuck fighting an endless trail of enemies that tankniggers aggro and CAN'T kill because it takes 3 business days to turn and has a 10 degree left and right aim range. >just get in the the tank then No... i want to kill enemies and dive and blow stuff up, not have boring armored taxi ride while some autist activates his tank neurons
>>566746041 >The moved flamethrower hitbox was actually to keep the flamer FRV from constantly igniting itself and everyone inside FRV variations soon, divers. Holy shit.
>>566746041 I feel like AH set themselves up for failure with their recent statement. Why promise that future vehicles will be unlocked through gameplay when this is in the pipeline?
>Arrowhead when they successfully trick people into playing a milism and not a horde shooter >But a game for everyone is a game for no one so we need to stop you from having fun because youre having fun the wrong way
>>566750220 I'd rather have infrequent slightly longer reloads than frequent slightly faster reloads. needing to reload right in the middle of killing something feels like shit and running short mags makes that happen way more
After my first time doing Super Helldive (on the squids, no less), I can safely say that is truly like diving into Hell. We also were unfortunate to get a sandstorm on the last few waves of the defense mission.
>>566752684 It was randoms, so you didn't miss anything. Also, no need to "there's always next time" me. We still managed to win. Beat my first Super Helldive.
>just get in the tank and enjoy MY fun No I think I'll just start eagle bombing every bastion I see. Sorry chud but you are surrounded by a mob of enemies and you can't kill them fast enough. I'm the host so what the fuck are you gonna do about it?

Why does the shovel feel so limited when it comes to its one job? It's like it will only let you dig a shallow trench, until you use a grenade or something to bypass whatever weird depth restriction it feels like it has.
>>566754676 look pajeet, I'm not mad when people not getting in my tank, the game is infested with runniggers and soloniggers anyway but it is a whole different story when the said people trying to destroy my tank because they're such a fucking shitter they can't handle the horde of enemies I brought to their doorstep, either get gud or play alone in a private lobby or lower the difficulty.
>>566754383 Because the new content player surge only sticks around for a week before they drift back to Call Of Duty and whatever MMO slop they were playing before.
Imagine buying a co-op game and trying your best to not co-op, what's the deal here? I love doing team reload and shooting my mates with my stim pistol, I wouldn't mind getting in a tank either or a FRV
i really like the tenderizer 850rpm burst fire feels like crack cocaine, mows down bugs like no tomorrow especially when i bring siege ready for more ammo and insta-reloads taught me to gitgud at aiming for devastator heads too
>get my sentries destroyed twice by squadmate Is it that hard for someone to just avoid sitting in the line of sight of an active sentry? I'm never bringing them again, I hate all of you.
>>566756876 >what's the deal here Game spawning a million patrols around a host and a thousand more reasons to run away as far as possible from your teammates
>566756359 >faggot pussy >adjective after noun In english we put the adjective first to modify the noun, anon isn't just a faggot he's a pussy faggot. No (You) sorry
>>566756876 runtrannies with main character syndrome, I've seen legit braindead monkeys getting gang banged by conga lines of berserkers so I decided to park my tank right next to him and the retard just decided to run around like a headless chicken instead. It's like having legit NPCs as your teammates
How do I know if I'm contributing much to the team when there's a fucking massive horde running at us? I can't tell if I'm killing enough of them to pull my own weight or not.
>>566757707 I don't, I place them near the objective when we have to hold ground, lower ground exists, simply repositioning would make things better, INSTEAD OF BLOWING IT UP BECAUSE SOMEONE CAN'T BE ARSED TO MOVE A FEW INCHES. How stupid would it be if I moved near your sentry and decided to blow it up because it now had me in its line of fire?
>running from every fight and not killing anything gay >standing to fight everything that spawns retarded >strategically repositioning yourself to bait enemies into walking into an orbital/eagle the only true way to play the game
>>566758168 nah that is pretty dumb of them, I just wanted to make sure you weren't being a baka with em. the only time I've had to destroy friendly sentries is people dropping gatlings behind us.
>>566756876 blame the devs for not adding a single objective that encourages cooperation. it's not really a "co-op game" it's just a game that can be played co-op. the whole game can be completed solo with minimal effort. and don't even think of coming back with "the enemies require cooperation" because that's cope.
>>566757369 >Is it that hard for someone to just avoid sitting in the line of sight of an active sentry? It's really simple actually. I just destroy them and they won't be able to shoot me.
>MFW I play on PC and instead of using MnK, I use a controller, just specifically on this game. Am I the only one? I don't know why but it just feels awkward using MnK, I tried rebinding some keys like strat calling to the numpad, but for some reason it won't let me call anything if I im sprinting. It's weird because I pretty much use MnK for everything else, even in GTA V i switch to my mouse when Im not in a vehicle because aiming in that game feels awful with a controller.
>>566758168 Don't put them near the objective, retard. Throw them away from the place everyone is going to be so we can move around without dying and the sentry has actual use in pulling agro.
steam://joinlobby/553850/109775244813609549/76561197995866779 the pissdivers rise once more to drown alien scum with a neverending flow of freedom d10, all are welcome
>>566757675 I dunno, multiply the work you are doing by 4 and ask yourself if that would be enough to keep the enemies from reaching your squad and tearing everybody new buttholes. It is a lot more a matter of feeling "I can keep myself safe, but can I do that and then contribute some more?" So instead of just surviving you are winning. Of course you have to judge your efforts by the expectation for the equipment you brought. If you have a grenade launcher your job is to clear out the chaff and if you have a recoilless you should focus down the elite/heavy enemies. Things can get muddy for mixed role weapons like the autocannon.
>>566758168 >>566757369 Good, fuck you nigga, I hate all of you sentry subhumans, I can go an entire round without dying only to get gunned down by one of your badly positioned static pieces of garbage. I was hoping they would leave the hive guard buff alone so I could stand and laugh at your sentries wasting all their ammo on them.
>Game is about dying a lot >Punishes you for dying by making you run over to pick your shit off the ground Yes, I would call this bad and contradictory game design.
>>566756876 For this game specifically you can't really blame the players since the devs implement every coop play in the worst fucking way possible at every instance. >team reload being dogshit >splitting up to do the objective >the fucking armor literally encouraging rundiving >stim pistol being dogshit
>>566759104 My mom sold my cozy coupe to a neighboring family when I was still small enough to play with it. She told me it was because the parents were going through a divorce and she felt sorry for their son. I had to watch him scoot up and down the block in my coupe, rubbing his dirty unshod feet all over the pristine interior and leaving it tipped over in the mud when he was through. Days later he got a GameBoy from his dad and never played with it again. it was the first time in my life I ever felt betrayed, and I've never really been the same person since. Helldivers.
>>566760642 Your anger and rage are all acceptable. Never let that feeling disappear. Know that betrayal comes from those closest to you. Never put out the fire, let it fuel you towards what ever path it is you walk on. Your forefathers went into murderous rage for far less. Anyway, I really like the reprimand on the bot front.
>appropriators have been stuck on the same fucking desert planet for like a month or something now >finally a second appropriator planet appears >same biome can someone fucking fire joel already holy fucking shit
Having a more reliable stim pistol with tracking rounds or just a more support oriented weapon in general would be a good thing for the game. Support is usually played by people not very good at the game and the usual go to is play support and in theory, the person following the good players around will subconsciously pick up on what they are doing and in turn become better themselves, at least in terms of positioning and movement. And players already good at the game would have an even stronger way to do damage and support their team. Its a win-win for both sides.
>>566762168 I'd rather be a metaslave instead of wasting my stratagem slots on AT janny weapons. Uh oh we have a factory strider incoming. Clean it up RR janny.
>>566763256 Yes. Although I believe the stim pistol is fine. What a support build could use is stim gas nades, medic backpack (hyper juiced up stims), and maybe if AH still cares about support in a team based game, we could get vehicle repair secondary wrench or something. Optional: Secondary fire mode on stim pistol that stuns enemies, could be cool.
>>566763409 Multiple mechs add new entities for the game to track. Swedes claim the engine cannot handle extra vehicles but it has been demonstrated that the engine can. The swedes just don't want us to be stronger (and have more fun) by having more mechs to call down and they are lying to cover that up.
>>566761128 also i was just dying laughing at his word choice imagining some victorian era princess clutching her pearls tears streaming down and crying out "you BRUTES!"
>>566763728 >stim gas nades, I dont want to go full killing floor and this only works in theory. This game is too high movement to have it be worth while and the maps are too open. >we could get vehicle repair secondary wrench or something. We solved this in HD1. Just add the Rep-80
>>566763440 playing 100+ levels with the same fucking eruptor ulti 'mite combo over and over like how mind numbing game's repetitive enough already this is just too far lol
>>566764078 not to mention they have nothing for up close so they just kill themselves (and teammates) with splash damage over and over but this is all fine cause "eruptor's strong bro"
>>566764078 >playing 100+ levels with the same fucking eruptor ulti 'mite combo over and over like how mind numbing Retard-kun, there are like 3 good AT stratagems and 10+ good anti chaff stratagems and like 8 good anti chaff support weapons Going for ulti+thermites+ anti chaff stratagems/support weapon will give you more variety than being an AT janny ever could.
>>566757392 >Is... Is the game... TRYING TO SPAWN ENEMIES FOR ME TO SHOOT IN THIS HORDE SHOOTER? AIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! RUN! I DON'T WANT TO HAVE FUN IN MY SHOOTING GAME!
>>566765857 rocket sentry + autocannon sentry on rotation are basically a must have to manage enemies while also doing the objective me and my friend brute forced duos of it on d10 like that
>>566756876 Do yourself a favour and host games, and then kick anyone who brings anything lighter than heavy armour. Heavy armour players will almost always want to apes together strong more than mediums, and especially lights.
Yes, I do take >ultimatum >recoiless on every mission, because my goal is to complete a mission without a single death. Every single retard who claims "le meta is bad be more creative chud xDDD" usually ends up with 4-6 deaths which means they would have failed if they played solo. Always pay attention in /hdg/ lobbies on people who take most weirdest loadouts and then proceed to waste reinforcements as they refuse to pick meta because "muh fun".
>but we are supposed to be expendable media literacy! Okay, keep playing as little goycattle cannon fodder, I am playing as a hardened veteran who knows is coming back home alive in one piece through this entire D10 cyborg vox spam mission. Now excuse me as I onehit that bile titan 140 meters away so your little sissy ass can run around in oxygenator with the spear, all in the name of "fun", but deep down you know we will win because of me.
>>566766091 I’m not sayong there isn’t a reason for it the whole point of the screenshot is that all three other players have exactly the same cookie cutter loadout. It’s fucking BORING. I don’t remember their support weapons but who even cares. Not to mention there are other ways of dealing with heavies (senator, giganade, pissile, scorcher, fireworks nade, EATs, whatever) other than fucking eruptor+ulti+thermite like holy shit
>>566766821 Some people like variety and have fun taking oddball loadouts as a challenge to themselves. Deaths only matter if you let them. People are different and some don't have autism like (you).
Why all the hate for light armorGODs? You absolute fat fucking pieces of shit are stuck fighting patrols while I complete 2 sides and a main objective.
>they nerfed sc farming so you can only get 1 pickup per minute down from 9 I already got enough for all the warbonds + 10k, but I was going to buy all the superstore shit too How tf am I cheating and still only getting 500sc / hour?
>>566759053 lobby closes thank you for the games anons, absolutely one of my favorite combos of happenstances in the game repel invasion, night-and-darker-night biome in a city, and sandstorms more to come, just need a short break to stretch and do some things and I'll host again (non-piss)
>>566767393 You have to also mind that there are more options, but a lot of the people playing this game are warbondlets with less than 4 warbonds unlocked. You have an array of AT possibilities when you are warbond rich, but otherwise, the poorfags will stick to the most reliable bonds with the best gear total in them. Thinking about it, I'd actually like a sign I could see on playercards to show other players how many bonds they have unlocked.
>Why yes, running around and turning knobs and pressing buttons on an ingame console while the rest of my team kills over 3 thousand enemies is fun to me and why I installed this horde shooter, how did you know?
>>566767619 >Todd was able to make the Swedes kneel before him >demanded a fallout collab >probably ordered them to give all of the profits too So b-based...
>>566767843 I missed it... but, I still played pissed (loadout) because of you (You). it was fun. >d9 randoms (it was the only repel invasion seed I had) >no brick mission slog >piss sentry doing alright >piss cannon & scythe not doing too hot against the illuminate ship's shields >orbital piss solves this piss status? holy!
>>566698271 I boughted the ODST goybond since I already have all the other premiums, I have enough unclaimed super shekels and should have enough by the time the june one is out
>>566768979 should last 2 years, considering you would need to spend 40k to catch up on everything if you start fresh right now and the game has been out for 2 years
>>566768713 piss was just absurdly fun, i skimped on the laser sentry for a piss car pyrotech grenades really suffer from bouncing out of the ships sometimes but the laser is just godly for playing catchup once things fall behind absolutely a treat, lobby in another ten or so minutes
>>566767740 At the beginning you could reload missions to pick up the same sc again and again, including 100 sc piles, meaning you could actually farm faster than literally cheating today. No one is harmed by swedes as much as swedes.
So after the patch last week what's happened is that internally AH had decided to push patches on Wednesday instead of Tuesdays You can expect a new MO, bug fixes and that new biome tomorrow
>>566768979 >>566767924 Aww shucks I cant get some chink to cheat me in some super shekels? I have been farming for the past week got all the SC to get every warbond except killzone
Can one of you anons help me plz I used that CT that was posted here a couple threads ago and I was having some problems trying to get it to work when playing with friends. I wanted to drop some credits for them but once I actually dropped some down, they could only get 10 SC per pile and I couldn't pick any up at all. I've only had this problem when playing with friends, haven't tested with pubbies yet, but when playing solo I can pick up all the SC in a pile just fine.
>>566772673 They all need the bypass from those files. Since the game validates credit piles client side, it's being validated for every player in the lobby.
>>566774279 Assuming you already have cheat engine installed, follow the instructions from the read me instructions text file. Here's a video: https://mega.nz/file/56YG1ZCB#2pp3gqqI7Y0Ery0GI9X19KlAZzu2BhL7gZbkiM6ZDTM
>>566775057 I just tried it earlier, it's still 9 pick ups. And it's not 9SC, 9 per call in refers to 9 piles of super credits per call in, meaning 9x10. Each pile is 10 credits.
TO SAVE OUR SUPER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK TO FIGHT THE PERFIDIOUS SQUIDS WHO'VE ONCE AGAIN COME BACK WE WON'T SHOW ANY QUARTER, WE WON'T CUT THEM ANY SLACK THE HELLDIVERS DEPLOY
>>566775224 These japs pieces of shit pretty much released the same game 3 times, perhaps 4, with overpriced DLCs too. These games used to be nice, and i love how campy it is, but i'll never give them another cent.
Fiddling around with the CT and being able to turn off sway and actually aim exactly where I'm pointing makes me hate sweden even more. What a gay mechanic that just makes gunplay feel worse
>fight spore strain >actually have a lot of fun hang on, so it turns out the key to making bugs engaging instead of a snorefest is just... making them faster on average?
>still haven't used surges since cyberstan invasion >they haven't made us fight multiple subfactions on the same planet since the defense of popli ix Please bring these back.
>>566778341 >>they haven't made us fight multiple subfactions on the same planet since the defense of popli ix cyberstan's final factory had mixed factions
>HELLDIVERS ARE JUST EXPENDABLE RETARDED FODDER >JUST IGNORE THAT THEY INFLICT INSANE NUMBERS OF CASUALTIES ON THE ENEMY FOR EACH SOLDIER, EVEN AGAINST THE ENEMY'S ELITE SPACE MARINES
>>566780825 Fuck the swedes and all the "media literacy" faggots. Helldivers can literally land and pick up ANY weapon and use it will full proficiency. The other day i was in a lobby with some anon who used his jet pack to land on a war strider and used the chainsaw to saw it to death. He was a hero i say, a fucking hero. And similar scenes are happening all over the galaxy, at this very moment.

>>566781778 What's wrong with throwing a 380 on a bot drop? Sounds like you just wanted an excuse to chimp out on the host for not being good at the game.
>>566781778 >Host throws ball >"Calling Orbital Strike!" >Massive red beam shows up >Time until impact 20 seconds >15 seconds >10 seconds >5 seconds >Impact >"WAOWWWWW HOW COULD YOU HAVE DONE THIS TO ME YOU FUCKING SHITTER!?!?!" You had 12 weeks to move.
>>566782517 The fact that it's inside a city in close quarters while someone is doing the objective. The 380 didn't do shit except make things worse >>566782830 >factory strider right on top of me >inside a base shaped like a pit with raised walls there was no running and he threw it out of sight
>>566782517 There is nothing wrong with any strat...excluding zap dog there's no way to avoid that piece of shit team killing. The problem is people that throw shit regardless of where teammates are. The 380 and orbital retard fire are the worst because of the aoe but idiots toss everything with abandon. Cream of the retard crop was a host I saw repeatedly tk his map buddy with fucking straffing run.
