>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.

Having recently watched Stargate: Atlantis I don't see any reason why Momoa couldn't play the "generic soldier dude surviving impossible odds" role again.
All he'd need is a haircut, wear a helmet, and a script writer that's good.I hope this is fake and that I've been baited.

I thought general audiences were too busy looking at their phones, so now would be the perfect time to be the break-out faceless actor.
I don't think they'd have to wear the helmet the whole time either. Something like the intro to the game, shave and a haircut, then frozen into the pods. Helmets are removed for closeup shots of death scenes, which is where all the emotion is anyways, right?
It's not gonna happen. I'm morbidly curious.

Not quite, the primary flamethrowers range is barely enough to hit it when you're in melee range, and they'll just spam their stomps then, making it really annoying

>>563621010
the helmet is non negotiable, like judge dredd or master chief.
oh look the two instances of adaptations for those where the actor playing dredd or master chief took their helmets off to show their face were dogshit while the one adaptation that had the actor keep the fucking helmet on was great

Absolutely insane that they would go to such effort and scrap it all back to zero.

If the shitty translation is to be believed, most if not all of that stuff is from pre-release versions of the game, so they've been sitting on all that for 2 years now while releasing garbage like vox and rupture that were likely made post-launch (by outsourcing). My guess is they ran out of time, got the game playable, fired 90% of their staff, and cut the cult stuff because the people that built all that and knew how to finish it no longer worked there.

I don't like the plasma gun aesthetic they've gone for in this game. The loyalist performs well, it just looks like a shitty little dinky scientist pistol you'd see in the hands of a kleiner or an einstein right before they get gibbed by a grenade. It would've been nicer if it was a bit chunkier, kinda like the one from HD1, or like the one you see in Astartes (I am not an autistic warhammer fag I just think it looks cool)
also when do you guys think the captchas are going to stop taking a minute to load and a minute to post?

i see you, like arrowhead, are also unable to envision a future in which you worked in the game and community's best interest and were rewarded with 200k+ concurrent players paying for stuff and being excited about the game instead of ~50k who don't particularly like you
it's not about them having enough paypigs to coast, it's about them getting an opportunity to make two or three times the amount of money they did while ensuring that their next game is even more popular instead of what I think is most likely, that it'll fail to measure up to their accidental success with this game

>applies the fire DoT multiple times to the same enemies with less damage per impact, less stagger/stun, etc compared to the cookout
I'm too autismo to take it over the cookout, but if you don't have freedom's flame it's definitely okay to take instead. It looks fucking cool shooting off those phosphorous rounds, especially from a distance. In hindsight I tend to shoot the same enemies a few times with the cookout too so maybe it's not as big of a problem as I'm thinking it is.

Vox engines take far too long to kill "the right way" for it to be worth doing, regardless of how skilled you are. A decent-skilled player can take out three or four factory striders in the time it takes to deal with one Vox Engine - and because they're so slow, dealing with them means staying in one place for a long time. You're not supposed to linger in one place on D10.
>>
>>
>>563641959
What are you on about?
Vox engines are way easier to kill.
Factory striders require AT while vox engines are like 3 shots and a frag, and belly rubbing a factory strider is far more work than fragging a vox.
>>
>>
>>
>>563642345
If there is a convoy you can just bring dedicated stratagems.
Factory striders are easier to kill with dedicated stratagems but harder to kill if you don't have anything dedicated to them.
Meanwhile vox engines are the oppisite, where nothing really hard counters them, but also pretty much anything can kill them.
>>
>>
>>563642552
Factory striders have vital points that can be precision targeted and quickly knocked outwith AT weapons like their eye and feet. Voxes, ignoring the grenade vent gimmick, are best dealt with weapons that can brute force their main HP via some mix of explosion damage multiplying across multiple hitzones (leveler/silo/OPS/ultimatum) or via raw DPS (gattling barrage/strafing run/HMG). People who are still wasting time with the RR vs the vox engines are slow to adapt and haven't gotten the memo yet.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>563642508
how much ammo does that take? HMG is in the awkward spot with the non-AT blue weapons vs war striders, but that could be neato, maybe HMG would be worth it if war striders spawn less frequently (or not at all, can't recall) with cyborgs. Laser cannon maybe can do the same thing but much slower?

>>563643209
On paper one drum of 100 rounds of HMG ammo expended into the tracks inflicts 5850 damage to main. (150 damage per bullet *100 bullets * 0.65 due to AP/armor match * .6 to main). You can get a bit more damage if you take the time to shoot the armor level 3 "track latches", but you'll also lose some damage if you take the time to destroy the gattling guns or if your drum wasn't full.
Voxes have 11k main HP. So let's just say that roughly you're removing 50% of a vox's HP with a drum of HMG ammo. It's not a point click and delete option like the leveler, but it is significantly more vox HP removed per scavenged yellow ammo crate than something like the RR brings to the table. The efficiency goes WAY up when you start considering an RR wasting entire rockets on hulks that an HMG can delete with a few eye shots. Back to the HMG, it should be used in conjunction with low cooldown reds like gatling barrage, strafing run, or even OPS if you're in a megafactory where eagles can't fly. Pyrotechs tossed underneath the vox also adds up a lot of damage, although I tend to prefer arc grenades against cyborg patrols/drops on the cyborg front. The HMG also boasts extra utility vs cyborgs and devastators, and it plays well alongside the always strong supply pack.
Nothing is stopping you from still bringing levelers and/or silos to help deal with convoys or to just quickly delete the odd vox engine, but the HMG is underestimated in its ability to simply pump out large sums of DPS without wasting precious AT ammunition vs hulks. War striders are a bit obnoxious but I've found it's simplest to just mag dump their upper thigh and accept the ammo consumption rather than fish for their weaker spots.
>Laser cannon maybe can do the same thing
Not really. The point is that tracks are an Achilles heel of a ZERO DURABILITY level 4 armor spot. HMG inflicts a very high amount of AP4 DPS, and its low durable damage doesn't matter in this case. Laser has fuckall DPS.

>>
>>
>>563643879
C4 is fastest if you are just killing one vox or two, but it falls into the RR's problem in that it runs out of ammo if you're fighting tons of voxes. HMG stretches yellow ammo crates further and it can resupply from the supply pack.

No, don't give these swedes any more money until they fix the game. If you hang around the general, there should be "mildly funny" lobbies from time to time where you can acquire as many shekels as you need.

>>563644317
$20 says that the "damage/status multiplication" glitch that occurred when in a 4 mans squad applies to the harvester beam to this day and people simply didn't notice that their on foot "instant death" was more-instant than usual. But the bastion has enough HP to make the difference more apparent. Since this works against the player, they will never fix it.
How close do you think that my prediction is?
>>
>>
>>563644632
It's probably just overlapping hitboxes, like how speargun can oneshot a charger butt if you hit a 1 pixel sweet spot. The beam hits a track, a mudflap, a stowage box, and the hull all at once and they all do 100% to main.

I'd believe this. I occasionally die from harvester beams before it's even visible, other times I can take about half a second of contact. The specific case I'm recalling now came in laterally around the neck so it might be hitting arm, chest, and head hitboxes all at once.

Huh? You're outright wrong. Super Earth is the good guys. I am not even memeing. ArrowHead are really making the double-triple spin. They are feeding you ''the helldiver'' propaganda that Super Earth is the bad guys when in fact Super Earth is the good guys. So the question is are you going to believe your eyes and see what all the other factions do or will you listen to the propaganda. You've been down to more than a few planets. Tell me, what did you see the other factions do? Have you seen the results of them landing a planet? Seriously. I can't believe people haven't already caught onto this but Super Earth ARE the GOOD GUYS!

The image they've posted does not implicate them in being a furry. In this case the important distinction is "animal ears"/kemonomimi, which is humans with only slight changes like animal ears and tails, and is typically associated with the anime fandom, versus furry/kemono, which uses more traits of the animal, most importantly snout and fur, and typically just uses the entire animal but in a humanoid shape and posture. Both cultures usually prefer if they aren't lumped together with the other.

>>563647972
It takes getting used to. On a per-shot basis it's weaker than every other true AT weapon in the game. But because it has good explosive damage output (all the other AT weapons deal their damage mostly as direct impact projectiles) and carries 15 shots that can be fired consecutively, you can distribute its damage output more discreetly. Yes, most heavies will take 2 or more shots to kill, but sometimes you can kill with one shot if you can snipe a weak point, and it has much better sustain if you get good at focusing weak points (for example, killing a Fabricator usually requires 2 shots, but if you can snipe the vent or open door it's 1 shot, so you can theoretically quickly kill three Fabricators back to back instead of waiting for cooldowns or doing a long stationary reload between each shot or whatever).
Anyone who whines and bitches about it just doesn't know how to use it. For example, as >>563648116 pointed out it's really hard to blow yourself up since it takes only 2 seconds to max-charge and there's a 1 second grace window where you can fire it at full power. This is a lot more lenient compared to the Railgun, which can only fire at 99% charge and even then only if you release the shot at the very last possible frame.
>>
>>563648116
>the only downside is the range
Which is a massive downside. With the Quasar i can shoot down dropships from half the map away. But i guess it matters to playstyle and the map's topography. In a forest map the Quasar won't be as useful since the mega trees block a lot of line of sight. So you should be choosing weapons/stratagems depending on the map and enemy type. That's what i do.

Even if that were true, it doesn't really make sense to call someone a furry before they show proclivities that align with the fandom. In my anecdotal experience I also see a pretty clear divide between the two, and one only rarely crosses over into the other.

D10 for the most part is advanced runfagging and pseudo meta gear that's like high A-tier so you don't get called out for being a crutch shitter. What I mean by advanced runfagging isn't just the ability to split when you know you don't need to linger, it's about kiting and Scooby Doo mansion running between objects to funnel enemies in a nice neat line. This simultaneously sets them up for explosives and other high ordnance, but also stops the ones behind the leader shooting you or running past the leader.

You take the Jump Pack or Warp Pack to solve your mobility issues.
If you want a free backpack slot for something else, you go discount heavy with the 125-150 medium sets.
Otherwise the agreed upon best heavy sets are the Entrenched fortified set, the Judge Dredd set, the bomb squad fatty set, any Fortified set if you don't have the Entrenched option, the Siege Ready set, gas set for immunity memes, and Salamander for shrugging off fire.

I'm quite looking forward to this FRV desu. Not as powerful as the standard version with the HMG, but universally useful thanks to the automated Stalwart on top. Means it'd be good if you want to go full automated guns with as guard dog and sentry to assist alongside it.

Stop parking it physically on top of the objective terminal. Just fucking park it in a quiet spot a short jog from the objective and we can fight our way in on foot. FRVniggers are always like those fat people from Wall-e who are allergic to walking the smallest of distances.

Parking it on top of the objective is unironically the safest location 90% of the time, you would know this if you actually used it.

You need to reassess your risk assessment of your parking spots. You're the only common denominator with them, and they're obviously risky enough that people feel a need to call in danger close stratagems.

So use a different passive. Both guns benefit massively from peak performance for example.
Stop making up problems that don't exist. You forgot to mention that it doesn't need to do a stationary reload every 175 rounds btw.

a classic case of "you think you want this but you don't"
even if you could walk while shooting it you wouldn't ever want to because not only does it massively increase recoil on an already high recoil gun, it introduces significant sway too. nobody in their right mind shoots MG's while walking unless you're facefucking a target you can't miss like a factory strider belly or tank heatsink. it's just never worth the extra recoil and sway.
No, what you actually want is to be able to dive in an emergency

Because they had a different vision of the game than the people actually in charge. They eventually had to bend the knee to buffgods because the game was in a dogshit state.
However, nobody is ready to discuss that reverting the bots mostly back to the launch state is the correct course of action. With our current equipment and actually functioning armor it wouldn't be a problem, with some exceptions of course. Like excessive explosion ragdoll damage, devs clipping through terrain to shoot and explosive aoe ragdolling through hills and solid cover.

>Exosuit has a Hellbomb suicide mode, that can be activated with the backpack button, or is automatic on death. Counts down after 10 seconds, and then detonates. When activated manually, you can keep fighting with the Exo while it counts down.

Dsickle is OK if on missions where you can just hold a position and mag dump. It's less useful if you need to run around. The problem is mitigated with jump pack or warp pack. Don't be like my retarded friend who pairs it with RR
>>
>>563663304
There's a very easy best-of-all-worlds solution: a fire rate selector switch.
>1500RPM: Current performance, shits out damage but locks you in place and stupidly high recoil
>1200RPM: Balanced performance, gives less damage output but resulting reduction in recoil makes it easier to control
>900RPM: Controlled performance, lowest damage output but weapon's stats are directly modified to reduce recoil by 25%, improve ergonomics by 16 (from 4 to 20), and it can now slow-walk while firing

You can make it work but my retarded friend is CONSTANTLY taking chip damage from bugs jumping him because of the sickle's spin up delay + low initial dps + no stagger. He's constantly lagging behind the party since he'll stand his ground or just slow walk since the spin up time punishes him for letting go of the trigger. It's less time for him to move and less time to check his map to assess incoming threats. The stationary reload on the RR just adds fuel to that fire. Liberal usage of your sidearm can mitigate the spin up delay vs assorted isolated chaff, but he doesn't touch his sidearm ever unless he is 100% out of ammo.
If you are more diligent with your situational awareness and time management then you can make it work, but it's not what I'd recommend to a newfag. Several backpacks do a lot to offset the sickle's shortcomings. Jet and warp pack straight up give you mobility. Gun dog deals with the odd singleton trash mobs that you trip over so that you don't need to slow down and waste time spinning up for random little shits. Shield negates chip damage and supply gives you an abundance of stims to patch yourself up and give you more freedom to go ham with fully heated heavy pen Dsickle.
But he doesn't. He's just constantly weighed down by his choice of gear, gets out of position, and chipped to death. Then he'll die 3 times trying to pick his RR back up. He's also addicted to regular impact grenades for God knows what reason when he'd be far better suited by some kind of area denial grenade to cover his ass when he needs to withdraw to a better position.
>>
>>563679797
if he's a newfag that's dead set on using that setup, you should try using it yourself since you've got more experience. maybe you can figure out some things he could do to improve his technique to not be such dead weight, and try to recommend that to him
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>563680498
I've given up on trying to give him tips. He only ever wants to play vs vanilla bots since they're slow, toothless, and never pressure us. Cyborgs kick his teeth in between the brawler borgs curb stomping him, voxes pushing him out of his camping spots, and the officer borgs upgrading enemy speed and aim. Bugs and voteless/fleshmobs also constantly kick him in the balls.
The two main habits, that he won't adopt, that would help with his build would be to check his map more often and to use his sidearm more often. He only checks the map to see where objectives are. If he were to check his radar tactically to maintain awareness of incoming enemies, then he'd be surprised less often. As for the sidearm bit, for lack of a better word the sickles are not very agile. They're not "high speed, low drag" weapons. They have a fire delay and initially have low dps. They also have no stagger force to stagger lock nearby enemies. They come into they're own when fighting many enemies from an entrenched position, but they underperform at dealing with individuals or small groups while on the move. He should treat his Talon sidearm as a complimentary peer to his sickle. When moving quickly across the map, the talon is exceptionally good at quickly deleting individuals or small groups of enemies without slowing down. It's more than enough to carry him while he needs to be quick and on the move. The sickle can then be reserved for situations where he needs to mow down masses of targets. But no. He doesn't micromanage his weapons and treats his sidearm like a footnote to be ignored unless he has somehow managed to fully exhaust his sickle heatsinks.
Replacing the RR with quasar+warp pack would solve problems. When surprised, he can just warp a safe distance away and have plenty of time to spin up the sickle. The same for creating breathing room to charge the quasar.

You cant fix stubborn + stupid + inexperienced, you have to wait for them to naturally stop being at least one of the three before you can expect any help you offer to do anything. Eventually they'll realize on their own something isn't working and ask for help, and when they do you should tell them to learn to love EAT.
>>
>>563680498
>>563681065
He's also 300% entrenched in his ways. Despite constantly struggling against enemies nipping at his heels, he is convinced that Dsickle+flame armor is S+++++++ tier overpowered and that no other weapon or armor combination come close enough to be worthy of consideration for usage. He honest to God thinks that the eruptor, xbow, scorcher, purifier, coyote are all trash. Not that they're crutches that are cringe to lean on, but outright underpowered and not worthy of being picked up. I'm not even sure where to start unpacking that shit beyond just letting him play with his sickle while I cover his ass with overwatch fire.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>563681116
Another problem is that he never reads patch notes or keeps abreast of the changes. He gets confused when I equip stuff like orbital gatling or eagle strafing run. In his mind those are weak Strats for new players who haven't unlocked anything better. I think he's partly also disuaded by memories of launch day strafing run. But both of them have been SUBSTANTIALLY buffed since then. It's been at least a year since the 60 day patch and both are packing a shit ton of AP5 damage. He's also very dismissive of the standard guard dog. He has completely missed the memo that they now basically have a lib pen with aimhax and better trigger discipline. He's still convinced that they're teamkill machines that was their ammo ineffectually on hive guards. I've told him that they've been buffed and have even elaborated on precisely how they have been buffed. But he still sees them as useless garbage.
>>
i'm not even sure what's the meta, i just pick what i feel like i wanna play and then find it hard to swap because the armory system is total dogshit and knowing what i'm in for on quickplay joins generally pushes me towards being ready for most shit.

Helldivers seem to be exceptionally well-trained soldiers and yet they apparently are incapable of holding their weapons steady while moving. Which is something that even you, yes, (YOU) can do right now with zero training required.
Perhaps all Helldivers are autistic, which would explain their ability to be proficient with dozens of different weapon systems, but the motor function impairments inherent with autism means it's literally impossible for them to move faster than walking while aiming or hold their arms still while doing so.

this is a good one, to add to this, HMG in place of maxigun also does well if you want a more mobile option that also frees up the backpack slot. HMG emplacement rapes them but you have to prioritize harvesters because the beam will kill you and destroy the emplacement in under a second.
Honorable mentions go to the laser cannon and AMR for being fun and effective enough to work vs all the mechs.

hey dudes be sure to bring SHIELD GRENADES to the faction where you get hit by ranged attacks up to five times per mission and make doubly sure to also bring an ultimatum for those shielded ships so you have nothing else to assist with after you undoubtedly waste both your shots on the first harvester or biomech you see

Orbtruders en masse are weird to spawn. I've had it explained to me in details that I don't really understand but I can give it another go.

here's a peek into the average pubbie's room
>dimly lit, hard to see through the clouds of weed smoke
>they're sitting on a couch 10 feet away from the TV, squinting at the screen
>they're playing with a controller
>there are 5 empty beer cans scattered on the floor next to them
>someone is talking loudly on the phone in the next room over
>a dog is barking outside
but enough about consolefags, the average pub on PC is just retarded I think

It wasn't exactly the swarm I was hoping for.

I haven't tried replacing them with elevated overseers yet, only normal overseers so far. Good idea for the future.

Just as bad
>fighting mecha squids
>taking the first objective
>we're out in the open. Miles and miles of clear visibility.
>as I'm flanking left and mopping up all of the ambient oversaars, the pubbie runs around a rock
>he's out of view for 2 seconds and flares go up
>he found the one watcher that I didn't have eyes on to execute and ran right into it
>deploy HMG emplacement in a position where I can get a good field of view of all of the drops.
>start shooting the first harvester
>get instantly deleted by the gatling sentry that he threw behind me while I was manning the HMG emplacement
It's just impressive how hard that they work to fuck up.
