drrockso20 posted:Discovered the joys of the 500kg Bomb today, few things that make you get a Freedom Boner more than watching a Charger just get instantly pasted into a delicious bug gumbo by a gigantic fireball of Managed Democracy While the 380mm is an insane roulette that is absolutely not worth taking, when I tested it out I got to see a 15 inch orbital shell nail a Charger dead on such that he did a full three flips before landing, so I consider the requisition well spent even if I never use that thing again.

Chillgamesh posted:All it's missing (besides stuff that's already on the roadmap) is some ally NPCs to make the battles feel a little more epic imo. Yeah. It's the sort of thing that would make planetary defense a bit more bearable, if instead of just evacuating people you were also being dropped in to help some hapless SEAF troopers escape or turn the tide. Maybe throw in a few missions where SEAF SAM Sites and SEAF Artillery are the main objectives inead of just side ones for good measure too.

i wish all the side objectives did something on the map instead of just some of them its cool when you reactivate the artillery and can call it in or when you shut down a stalker nest, but whats the point of destroying a research base or propaganda tower? i also hope that the devs add more dynamic missions. Itd be awesome to drop into a friendly base under attack and then work with ai soldiers to secure the map by taking objectives which weakens the enemy presence or something like that. maybe have base-building call-ins so players can set up FOBs and have ai soldiers push the enemy. anything that adds to the chaos

Dyz posted:I mow down hunters in one burst of the Liberator Pen all the time. The burst also has no delay so mashing the button is basically the same as auto. Its no breaker but I dont compare guns to the breaker because, well... its the breaker. I should have clarified without headshots. But regardless, needing headshots to be able to kill a single incredibly common, very evasive enemy without blowing through 20% of your mag is poo poo. Giving up 1200 damage per mag vs. The default Liberator is a big deal against bugs, and vs. Bots you should be shooting them in the face anyways.

Insert name here posted:I'm at 18/18 ship upgrades and allow me to say: the 120mm and 380mm barrages still suck You really have to call out that you used this strategem because the danger zone is hella big. Last night I casually looked over and saw a strategem at 30m, nbd, then i moused over and it was 380mm. I was holding the samples, so I booked it. The danger zone is like 80 or 100m? it's insane

You’re looking at it wrong. The artillery stratagem comes with a free opportunity to call in an additional helldiver.

My friend and I agreed that the 380 would be worth taking if it turned into a limited-use stratagem like the laser, but absolutely pummeled its designated area. Like I'd happily take a one-use version of it that guaranteed total saturation of its AoE. Alternatively, leave it as is but make the very first shot land exactly on the beacon like a precision strike so you can at least hit SOMETHING reliably. I love it for the spectacle and bring it even with the loosest justification but it really is just so random with its success

ScootsMcSkirt posted:
one thing I thought of that would be endlessly funny is if the mission objectives changed midway or upon arrival. someone mentioned a few pages ago ways to improve the quota kill missions and I think they're onto something. imagine if you were prepared for an egg hunt or extraction only to find everyone dead and suddenly you just need to get democratic revenge before you're allowed to leave, or hold the extraction point for ~ 10 minutes until the dropship arrives.

Not helping was one of the people decided to leave the base... but not to do the 'raise hell so the base doesnt get spawned on so much' strat. No, he just snuck around and looted a bunch of sites quietly while the two of us were in Bug Hell. I kept asking him in voice to either make some noise out there and take the pressure off, or come back and help actually finish the mission. No response, he just kept sneaking around and picking up samples while we were just in a death/respawn loop covered in chargers and bile titans. We finished it with seconds to spare, lifted off, then he immediately kicked me aboard the ship. At least he waited. Edit, unrelated: https://twitter.com/helldivers2/status/1765044878386364517

novaSphere posted:The Knight SMG, only available in the supporter bundle, is so bad it's not even included in this list I see It's the second highest DPS primary and extremely accurate at range if you control the recoil (just crouch). It has a ton of ammo each mag so it can kill a lot of small weak poo poo but it also has an extremely high fire rate meaning it can mag dump meatier boys down super quick. It's an SMG so it's also quieter than other primaries. Every time I buy a new weapon I go about two missions before switching back to the knight because it's so drat good. I'm a little mad it's not available to everyone.

I worded my post poorly and meant to say the Knight is actually a pretty good gun but is hampered by its ammo problems. Maybe they'll put it in a future Warbond so others can use it; the game is already lacking in dakka primaries as-is

I always keep it unsafe. I’ve only blown up myself once and that was to test it. Also I jumped on the tank and blew it up with the rail gun by shooting its little vent a bunch of times. Then I got sent flying by the blast and rolled off a cliff and then died Worth it
