If you have multiple Eagle strategems available (say, airstrike and strafing run) and you burn all of the airstrikes, does it head back to rearm or does it stick around to give you strafing run support too? Basically, is it all one Eagle hovering in CAS, or is each attack run type a different plane? It seems like it should be the former but I'm not sure.

I know you can manually send them back early, but I'm currently putting my supplies into the Hangar and wonder if swapping out another strategem for a second Eagle is worthwhile. I'm using airstrikes now but both the strafing run and rocket pods both seem nice in different ways, at least until I unlock the orbital railgun.

Rearm only triggers automatically once you've used up every eagle strat you have equipped.

It won't rearm until all your Eagle strategems of all types are gone, there's just one Eagle

It's all from one plane and it'll stick around until you deplete all of the Eagle stratagems after which it'll rearm everything at once. And as long as you use them liberally equipping multiple different Eagle airstrikes is excellent because of the low cooldown between strikes.

This is probably a coincidence, but playing last night I fell off a ledge but accidentally pressed the dive key right before I hit the ground and took no damage. Visually nothing happened, but I feel like that should have taken off an eighth of my life bar. Helldivers, if you're falling to your doom, maybe give it a shot

Gimme a camera drone that follows you around with a bright light to provide optimal lighting and blasts Super Patriotic music to keep your spirits up. it also rewards you a Super Credit whenever it captures you doing awesome stuff, like getting big killstreaks or posing on top of dead Bile titans or in front of nuclear explosions.

Any reports that it also attracts the attention of basically every enemy patrol in the local mission area are just lies being told by haters of Managed Democracy.

The [Punisher] mag size might be technically more limiting but I think the flexibility from shell reloads is nice to have vs. magazine reloads. Feels like there�s a lot of situations where having a full mag is really important and shell reloads let you top off without wasting the remaining magazine.

PSA: You get a shorter reload if you leave one round in the magazine (technically in the chamber) as you skip the ending of the reload where you feed the first round into the chamber. When I'm using the Breaker which now has a 13 round mag, I count out 4 sets of 3 shots while firing and then reload with the extra round, then count out 3+3+3+3+1 to get the fast reload every time. The fast reload is quick enough to where I don't reload between fights, I just hold R to see how much I've got left in the mag before engaging and then counting the remaining rounds -1 before fast reloading. It's a fun rhythm to get into when you're getting overrun near extra ammo and want to dispense all of your mags as fast as possible.

This game has surprising amounts of realism in some respects. I�m still pleasantly amazed it uses ammo measured by magazine (AS GOD AND DEMOCRACY INTENDED) rather than the puerile �unlimited mags as long as you have spare bullets� that even the Ghost Recon games use now , to my consternation.

Yeah it took me aback at first but it's actually such a good mechanic. Especially with the Autocannon, reloading with 5 to 1 rounds left is so much more efficient which is helpful when getting rushed down.
