DarkDobe posted:Arc becomes wildly powerful if all 4 people are running it. I'm all for playing around and not just using the meta, but all four players needing to use gun or strategem for it to be "strong" probably means its not very strong. Two railgun shots and an Uzi mag to the same leg will kill a charger pretty quick. We'll probably see a big balance patch once the servers aren't constantly melting down, because there are several guns and call downs that need some help. Edit: \/\/\/ The autocannon is a great compliment to the railgun for sure. Its also great for popping Spore Mushrooms and illegal broadcast towers from a mile away.

Thumbtacks posted:i love the autocannon but it's starting to seem like it falls off a lot on higher difficulties, doesn't do much to chargers and i feel like i might as well be tickling any huge enemy. It's very strong against chargers if your buddy has a rail gun. One shot to a stripped leg kills it. Also it's really good for shooting their rear end off when it's chasing your friend 60m away

I only ran arc a handful of missions but I killed some bile titans with it, probably just finished them off, and was impressing people when it blew a wad of armor off its flank.

Quickmatched with some cool randos last night who were all about the victory hugs. It was great. We launched the ICBM and then took a minute to celebrate under the gentle glow of the atomic fireball.

I'm just offering it as a fun and different option. The arc gun is weird and powerful up to a certain point and running a full crew of them is a unique experience - no other gun quite force multiplies itself with infinite ammo and decent AOE clear. By itself it fails vs hulks and chargers but with 3-4 of them it becomes hilariously efficient.

DarkDobe posted:I'm just offering it as a fun and different option. For sure. It does sound like a fun option, and not everyone wants to min/max speedrun through all the available content. One of my buddies joined a little late and is resource constrained on the common samples, so we'll probably try a lot of weird poo poo on lower difficulties to farm them.

Well obviously the patchnotes were indicating that they made the mission easier for the automatons because too many helldivers were succeeding and we're supposed to lose, or something. My group has been pretty consistently clearing those missions on suicidal, and I can't say as I've noticed a difference since the patch.

One of the most satisfying ways to kill a charger is to strip its armor off the leg with a rocket when it charges you and then magdump from the knight into the exposed leg while diving. Its not ammo efficient or Meta but its satisfying

I personally like getting it's attention off a friend, tossing a rail strike, and seeing if I timed it right by standing still and getting the charter to stop sliding right at my feet.

I like that the game's lack of floating numbers and coop focus because it makes this game so much more sweat resistant than its peers. It's so much about "does it feel good? then use it!"

ZeusCannon posted:Recoilless being able to kill a bile titan in one shot and strip armor off a charger in one go makes it viable in my mind but the railgun is absolutely more versatile since it doesn't need a backpack slot. how do you one shot a titan with RR?

If you're joining in on a mission in progress I'd really appreciate it if the game would tell you what type of mission you're going into. Saw everyone else has a bunch of turrets so figured it was a scientist rescue or defense and brought my loadout for that and it was an ICBM mission

I've been hitting them in the face / glowy underbelly and they dont die in one hit I'm not sure anything will one shot a full health Bile Titan. Pretty sure even the Spear needs some more chip damage to finish it off. And yeah, pre-saved loadout slots please. Requisition has a cap at 50k, so I'm just spending it on stuff I don't really use. That has the effect of cluttering up the loadout screen with a million nearly identical icons I have to sift through every time.

Breaker is strong but god drat does it burn through ammo so loving fast. Feels like you need something like the Stalwart to offset that. Breaker + rail gun and I'm going for my SMG way too often.

It's not something i'd rely on though, always good to have some railguns or railstrikes handy. Your best chance is to be directly in front of it and at least 75m away.

Alright, I do have a stratagem/weapon that sucks: The ballistic shield. At face value, it does what it says on the tin - you hold it and it reduces the damage you take from ranged fire (and maybe melee damage? I haven't tried it against bugs because it's better to just murder them en masse at range instead of letting them get close enough to hit you). However - because it is a held object, the code for holding the shield is the same as the code for holding the SSSD or other objects - in other words, when you get physics'd/ragdolled, you will drop the shield. Also because it is a held object, that means if you want to use a primary while holding it up you must take an SMG. No Breakers or Liberators for you, unless you want to be forced into using your pistol. At first, it seems like a really great thing to take against the bots given the amount of firepower they put downrange. But it scales very poorly with ascending difficulty against the bots, because at higher difficulties, there are greater numbers of bots that shoot rockets. If you've ever had the pleasure of fighting bots with rockets, then you know that any rocket hit will ragdoll you - which on top of sending you flying, also forces you to drop the shield (if you have it in hand). Finally.- it takes up a backpack slot. There are a lot of competitive options for backpack slot, including the alarmingly more effective shield generator (which doesn't take up any of your hands to use, is always on when it can be, and doesn't get dropped whenever you get sent flying). That's a pretty safe thing to call garbage, imo. LuiCypher fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Feb 21, 2024 |
