I don't know what the hell is going on but this Twitch drop is just not working for me. I've watched different streams for half a day first on my laptop, then on my phone, then both at once. Absolutely no progress. Normally I'd think this was an account linking issue but you can't link your accounts until you've got the drop. E: The PS5 version is also moderately crashy. Pretty much at least once complete crash every night. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 12:06 on Feb 13, 2024 |

novaSphere posted:Man I dunno why people think the bots are harder than bugs. Stalkers and Bile Spewer spam is worse than anything the bots throw at you. I think it's mainly the shock of going from being dudes with guns vs. Primarily melee things to fighting an opponent that has the ability to punish you for staying in fights that are bad or starting them at a positional disadvantage. Also visibility on the jungle map is pretty bad. The bots have more tricks that make life harder earlier on like ecm / mortars / aa guns.

Ugh, solo game put two loving chargers on the extract and that was legit impossible. No time to even use an EAT to pop a leg when one is constantly on your rear end and its buddy sideswipes you. It's honestly absurd that their "weak spot" isn't even that weak, you can dump most of an LMG mag into it and it'll still keep going.

you can dive from almost any height and you'll barely lose any health, but if you just run you'll die pretty easily. Guess thats what they give you helmets for  E) also the fatty fat roundboy armour in the superstore looks real funny and im tempted to put up with bein hella slow for that Radical 90s Wizard fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Feb 13, 2024 |

That's one of the somewhat counterintuitive things one of the devs mentioned earlier: The "squishy" parts in bugs like spewer sides and charger butts only receive 10% damage from bullets, apparently the only way to deal full damage against those is with explosive damage. So against a charger you basically have to use something explosive, either to explode its rear end or to remove an armor plate and let you shoot the unarmoured parts underneath.

I've decided the 110mm eagle is underrated. It doesn't clock up a million kills, but having it in your pocket for when one bad thing is wrecking the teams poo poo it is an absolute godsend to be able to call a highly accurate and devastating hit in. If it had three uses it would be top tier for me.

I took it per your advice, and as annoying as it is losing a slot to basically double up my anti-charger capabilities, it's better than getting caught against more than one with only EATs to respond with. That said, it still can be spotty: had it hit a charger and do nothing to any limb armor. Also the range is dodgy as gently caress: I was getting hounded by a charger during an extract, I threw down the marker, and the Eagle instead went for a spore tower 100 meters away from the fight.

Yeah sometimes it doesn't work, but imo sometimes your other stuff that isn't guided also misses. I find it helps me way more often than it hinders and that I can use it under a lot of pressure. Pressure like having two chargers running around a bile titan's feet chasing other players lmao.

Also, just learned that the standard machinegun calldown is good: it punches through medium armor, which is basically the entire grown up bug category below chargers. Cuts down basic warriors, the hive guards that go into blocking stance, and even brood commanders. I've loved the Stalwart MG as a "primary" weapon but it does struggle against warrior waves so I guess it's time to retire it and be better about pacing my use of the MG. Only 2 reserve mags and a long, stationary reload stings like a MFer.

Only 2 reserve mags and a long, stationary reload stings like a MFer. Stalwart is in a weird place where it functions as an absurdly good primary weapon - but the opportunity cost of it taking up your 3rd slot and a strategem slot is also extremely hard to justify for something that offers no real versatility. I think it would work better as a call in that replaced your primary weapon - instead of a support weapon... even if they had to drop it's damage or magazine size down a bit. As far as the HMG goes, it is a good weapon - it's just overshadowed by the GL / Autocannon / Railgun because they are far more flexible in that they still dunk on Medium Armor, but can still be used to kill heavy stuff and close nest holes / blow up factories... IMO it should be combined with the support pack into one call in. Infidelicious fucked around with this message at 14:30 on Feb 13, 2024 |

I've tried the GL and it is pretty good when I'm not killing myself with it, but you really need to take a supply pack with it. Is the Autocannon decent even for solo work? I hesitate to take the team weapons when playing alone or with pubbies.

God it just occurred to me I'm such a good boy that I've only been fighting bugs. I want us to win this sector before I move to robots because I'm a team player.

AC owns, if you are soloing with it and don't completely unload it it has a normal weapon length reload of 1 clip of 4 shots. Infidelicious fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Have been playing mostly on Hard, decided to step up to Suicide Mission to try and get some purple samples. The teams I played with knew how to avoid patrols and keep moving towards objectives. I typically bring a Recoilless to deal with Chargers, but the upgraded Spitters are so nasty I opted to switch to Autocannon instead since it can reliably pop them in a few shots to any part of their bodys.

Some way to look at the specific stats/traits of call-in weapons would be nice. Helldivers 1 didn't give numbers but showed the same stat/trait breakdowns for call-ins as it did for primaries.

Game NEEDs the mechs and tank and stuff. Dropping a tank and having all 4 of your crew jump in was peak Helldiver 1 and the mechs were fun as hell.

If I’m understanding right, the spitters bulbous back is all ‘weak point’ and weak point only gives you 10% more normal damage bonus, but explosive gets a huge bonus, so something like the explosive assault rifle should shred these dudes? Also charger butts? I need to test.. would be nice to have an excuse to use the MG or Flamethrower instead of AC/AM sniper/RR/etc. in slot 3.

Friendly fire goes hard in this game in the best ways. Buddy was pulling back while I laid down some covering fire with the mg. As I'm walking the barrel across the horde behind him the recoil bumped the barrel up and he zigged when he should have zagged. Just a single PING and some sparks flying off his helmet as he went down HARD. A few other notable friendly fire moments: Just hearing the shout of "Bad Grenade! Bad Grenade!" and running. The fact you drop a primed stratagem if you die with it means that napalm strike is going to be RIGHT HERE in a few seconds.

It's great how little of an issue getting killed is in this other than the reinforcement cost and needing to do the reinforcement. Like there's no lost rewards because people died along the way as long as everyone is there for extraction.

I'm also fairly certain the breaker might out dps it even with the bonus. Infidelicious fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Something that I've found from playing a bunch on higher difficulty is that the Super samples seem to be grouped up pretty close to one another, so you either find nothing or all 6 at once.

I was intentionally trying to pick some smaller streamers from their "more" list, figuring I'd rather give them the views, but obviously it didn't work. Today I picked the first guy listed on the campaign site and it popped. So hooray for my armour buy boo-ray for Twitch.

Thanks for the tips on the crosshair everyone. So it's a bit floaty by design and I need to square off my aim first. With that in mind, I hope to better spread freedom as a democratically elected representative of Super Earth

With that in mind, I hope to better spread freedom as a democratically elected representative of Super Earth It's honestly really understated how clean the 3rd person crosshairs are in this game once it clicks. The barrel lags behind the cursor depending what type of weapon you are using. Big guns lag behind and are slower to pivot while small guns like smgs can snap to targets quick.
