Bussamove posted:I've been running the EAT a lot recently but I do love the autocannon for a good all-round support weapon. My only complaint is it can't take down dropships but if it could I would literally use nothing else. I run AC and EAT against bugs all the time and it owns. The cooldown is so low on the EAT that you can have them available pretty much on demand. The AC shreds spitters and does amazing crowd control. The combo works great on bots too; you can call in an EAT in time to shoot dropship engines before the bots land, destroying them all.

The 380mm HE barrage will do it too, but I still don't recommend bringing it. 380 absolutely ruins bot bases now. turn off the TV posted:imo it would be good if they gave the mech a melee attack that you could use by pressing the melee button instead of what it currently has It has a melee attack you can use by pressing the melee button though?

Turin Turambar posted:I will be the first one to say it: if they nerfed the Breaker, the Shield and the Railgun, I don't see how they won't nerf the Mech, because at least against Terminids is SO GOOD. There isn't a way to reload the mechs when they run out of ammo, right? That seems like a big limiting factor.

The option for mechs to call in stratagems is probably as far as they will go, if that. Apparently, players begged for mechs to be buffed for many years in HD1 and the devs just said no. And I can see why. You have to admit they would be way more than just "support" weapons with barely any buffs at all. I wouldn't expect any mobility or functionality increases.

diff 5 is about as hard as I can do solo, especially against bugs when spitters of all sizes start spamming. diff 9 can be thrilling but more often I just find it tedious. The most fun I've had with the game was with a dialed in team on diff 7, or just casually roaming the countryside in diff 4 and 5 playing duos like a drunkard. I feel like a section of the community is already taking the game way too seriously. Just have fun. gently caress the meta if you don't like it, play whatever, be fun loving and forgiving, don't kick people unless they are being egregious and purposeful teamkilling shitheads or calling the extract way too soon. If homies don't bring the right strats for a hard mission, try to compensate and give them stuff. Try and reinforce where someone died so they can get their stuff. Trust the devs, support the divers.

Jolo posted:For me, this was because I had quick grenade mapped to L1/Left Bumper. Before the patch, calling up a strategem from holding L1 would ignore the quick grenade. Now for some dumb reason the quick grenade will also equip your grenade if it's set to this button and you hold the button for stratagems.

Arc Hammer posted:Nice moves. Where'd you learn how to do that, Helldiver? There are a lot of bugs in this game that make my game crash to desktop and pretty much all of them happen during a match I changed a mouse sensitivity setting, as soon as I applied it instantly crashed Somebody picked up an arc thrower and then tried to use it and disconnected/CTD, and then I also picked it up and tried to use it and CTD This game actually has a lot of ways to crash to desktop unfortunately for me.

Jerkface posted:How much of the flamethrower effectiveness is due to the charger leg armor desync issues? I wonder if thats ever going to be patched and what effect it will have. Im way too autocannon pilled to swap support weapons now so I think I will wait for a patch or 2 for the dust to clear. turn off the TV posted:i can't see the intended role of the flamethrower effectively being a precision anti armor weapon that can situationally clear groups of enemies effectively. Cooking an armored bug inside its shell seems completely reasonable to me, it's just the focusing on one leg bit that's odd... but that applies to every good charger strat right now, as a function of how their legs work.

So when I'm solo and nobody is joining a match if I die is the mission supposed to fail and boot me back to the ship? I went down while calling for an extraction solo and the mission wouldn't end until I exited back to the supercarrier option.

No, you just automatically get reinforced until your budget runs out. Same thing happens if you squad wipe.

I went down while calling for an extraction solo and the mission wouldn't end until I exited back to the supercarrier option. You will auto-reinforce as a solo as long as you have the budget for it, otherwise the mission ends Worthwhile Sacrifice with no extract if you've completed the main objective, or Failure if you haven't. If you're stuck then it's a bug.

So, when devs say that we are supposed to rely more on our support weapons and primaries shouldn't be all powerful, I wonder if they even realize they made a game that does this? https://packaged-media.redd.it/yi29...8c6d5d0f860#t=0 Stolen from Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1bae4hx/postpatch_helldive_difficulty_is_some_fucking/

Answer feels like its either pick an easier difficulty if you're having trouble or move faster. (Also ironically mechs and strategems would help in that situation). Hell id be more worried with that many chargers / stalkers than titans. Edit: jesus I didn't even notice they're trying to solo it hahahaha. It's a coop game, play with people. If your gonna go all LetMeSoloHer you dont get to bitch about balance just cause your playing a super special hard mode challenge for yourself.

one mech can kill 7 bile titans. a whole squad can kill 30. and that's not counting the other three strategems they'd have available.ZeusCannon posted:6 minutes left on the hardest difficulty and people are complaining that there are too many specials. it's also a bug extermination holdout mission atm a full squad can probably spawn with enough strategems to kill 40-50 bile titans on the first cooldown. i think that they will live with 10 in 9 minutes.
