Being the sole autocannon guy on a high-level team is fun. You're their troubleshooter in the most literal sense, hanging back and annihilating anything and everything remotely problematic that you run into. Knocking down Scout Striders like skittles or dismantling Berserkers and Devastators never gets old, and for anything heavier, you can just sneak around and dump high explosives wherever they don't want 'em to be.

I dropped a 380 strike in the middle of a medium bot base and it still manages to avoid destroying either factory with laser like accuracy. Pretty silly for a 4 minute cooldown that makes you sit around for 30s watching it.

One way to think of a 380 barrage is as area denial. You may not destroy the base/formation you're dropping it on, but you'll certainly make 'em keep their heads down for a good long while. It's kind of like a napalm strike rated against heavy armour in that way.

ZeusCannon posted:I noticed today mines seemed to be classified as ordnance when calling in? As in has a red beam instead of blue etc. wonder if thats why My legitimate guess is that they are just mistagged, they don't have 'emplacement' listed under their trait list. Perhaps why they have red beam.

Just dropped into a mission with randos where not a single enemy spawned. Don't know if the game bugged or if these guys were cheating. If they were cheating it seems like there are faster ways to just give yourself a ton of resources.

Yeah, the red 'don't stand too close to this' beam is almost certainly intentional for minefield drops. Because, well, standing too close to them is a very bad idea.

I know bugs just keep charging right at you and I feel like bots still shoot at the same volume.

I was taking a friend through a 6 operation to unlock suicide mission and doing the last seismic objective it seemed like every single bug breach spawned during the mining period spawned a Bile Titan. We ended up with four(4) BTs up at once that just murdered everyone. This happened over like 90 seconds. Now I could see that on difficulty 8 or 9, but 6??? It definitely feels like they tweaked spawns for this.

The seismic objectives definitely cause hella bug breaches to spawn (like 4-5+ at a time) but overall I've been seeing relatively few Chargers/Titans in my level 7 missions today, like maybe 3 titans and 6 or so chargers throughout an entire mission Maybe it's a planet-specific thing or something, I've been on Fenrir all day

Sustained orbital bombardment is quite an obstacle to navigate.

LOS in general is poo poo and if we could use it more the parade of patrol problem would be pretty much solved. Nothing ever gives up aggro.

So I see next to each planet there's a list of stats for things like Helldivers killed or bullets fired. All the ones I've seen say "Unavailable" next to the stat boxes, though. Do the stats only get tallied after a planet is fully liberated or is it just bugged for me. Edited to fix my phone posting thumbs.
