The interactables in the maps?

Sort of like just a small arrow pointing to the side of the screen it's closest to when it's out of sight. Saying "500kg ordinance incoming" or something like that.

That feature of the Helldiver helmet HUD was cut due to budgetary concerns.

Worf posted:yea it definitely reminds me of ME3 online as well Worth mentioning the online is still up for that game last I checked Turin Turambar posted:The game is going backwards, somehow. Today I had two crashes, and it never did it before for me. And of course, I lost the progression I got for the 'daily quests'. Might just need to restart your computer, a while ago I was having some crashes that went away after I restarted my computer Amazing Member posted:I gotta stan the impact grenades on this one, hands down the 1 hit kill for spewers is too vital for me, but I'm a dirty arc wielder so take that with a grain of salt. Wouldn't be surprised if we end up with four or even five factions to fight, one of which should be a rebelling group of Super Earth colonies because it would be a shame if we didn't have a primarily human enemy faction to blow up Alkydere posted:A bug with no head still attacking you? Cool, distributed nervous system and it's still in full fight-flight mode before it bleeds out. How about a bug corpse stretched off into the horizon like some sort of Lovecraftian Laffy Taffy? Because I've seen that happen at least half a dozen times by now Nanomashoes posted:the helldivers armor has skulls on them Hence my suggestion of it being rebelling Super Earth colonies, they've kept the Managed part of the equation but there's no Democracy left in their foul Space Nazi hearts

No seriously, we're the Nazis. We're the big bad evil invading three other factions, they're not gonna fight each other they're gonna team up against us. As for rebel humans being evil, what exactly do you think those evil broadcast towers we've been bombing are broadcasting? Probably something like "hey turns out if you don't enslave shoot or bomb them they don't care"

Improbable Lobster posted:lol, where can I see these bits? The interactables in the maps? The rebel broadcasts that you destroy as side objectives, some of the dialogue and interactables, and there was a now deleted Twitter account that was basically the devs doing some roleplay stuff prior to the game launching. There was a big reddit post a week or two ago compiling all of the info but gently caress if I can find it again. Basically the bugs have no observed means of space travel, there are oil farms for them that have had containment breaches, some other things.

LazyMaybe posted:interesting definition of "invasion" if it excludes attacking an outside group and taking their land based on the exact point of their origin They aren't an outside group, is the thing. It's the entire point. The robots were cyborg rebels a hundred years ago, and the bugs are a bio program to clear planets and generate oil. It's like how the US Army couldn't invade Florida. It's already America, technically, you can't invade yourself. You can do other horrible things, but you can't invade. You are already there. Actions against the bugs and robots are just propaganda to keep from saying "Yeah we hosed up and we need to clear out some of our bioweapons/we have some uprisings going on". To imply that Super Earth could lose control, or that citizens could rise up? Unthinkable. Only the aliens are a truly outside force Super Earth is loving with. Everything else is a self-inflicted problem.

So I typically use the breaker which is going to make any gun feel bad in comparison, I know that. But if I unload an entire clip of the liberator penetrator into those medium sized armored bugs (ostensibly what it's specialized for) I can kill, like, 2 of them. Is there something I'm missing or does this gun just suck?

Is there something I'm missing or does this gun just suck? it may or may not do increased damage to weakpoints, but even if it does that's more than outweighed by the lovely damage against everything else, reduced mag, and no full auto the incendiary shotgun also falls into the same category of "why would anyone use this?" it doesn't kill things, it just sets them on fire so they do more damage when they charge and melee you

I definitely hope they adjust weapons and game mechanics so more things are useful I don’t suppose there’s a flame resist or immune armor? That’d be cool for a pyro build
