Slamming an EAT into a Charger's face and having it actually die is a welcome change to the game. Those bastards were the scariest thing in the game for me and my group before this patch. Does anyone else on PC have the Friend Requests category just straight up missing? I don't know if it's ever worked but I simply don't have it there after confirming a request has been sent to me.

Section Z posted:Autocannon is so cool that you can constantly just fire 1-2 shots into the sky to hit the 5 ammo left reload status, and still have more ammo than half the team! They literally said both the autocannon and grenade launcher are perfectly balanced as is and they're very happy with their performance.

Last night I was experimenting with the whole "some stratagems stick to enemies" thing. On a bug mission I threw an EAT calldown into a charger...it stuck! The hellpod came screaming down, crushing the charger and killing it, success! Then on a bot mission I saw a tank coming out of a base we were hitting, I tried again, the hellpod hit the tank's turret dead center...without killing it, so now this tank is going around with my launchers deployed on its turret! I climbed thru the front, climbed the turret, grabbed one tube, went down behind it, turned around and shot at the vents, killing it. It was all awesome.

Warad posted:I swear there's some instances when it reloads, you fire one shot, then suddenly the animation resets to the very end, and it reloads again, eating the previous mag. I can never reliably repeat though so hell if I know what does it. There are 3 specific reload related bugs/interactions that have been driving me crazy: 1. As above, reload and go through the full animation but then you fire 1 shot and have to reload again. I don't know if this desync issue with the host but it happens semi-frequently. 2. Reloading and going through the entire animation but something interrupts it without on screen feedback and the gun remains unloaded, I end up having to hit reload again and usually my helldiver slams the charging handle/slide/whatever so clearly something interrupted the final bit. This happens a lot, and sometimes its from things like getting ragdolled/accidentally picking something up/interacting with an object, but I swear to god half the time I am just running around not doing anything and it happens 3. Interrupting a reload ON PURPOSE and then having to hit reload twice to get the gun reloaded. This happens: Press Reload -> oh poo poo bugs pull out secondary hose em down -> get primary/support back out -> hit reload -> helldiver "readies" gun but doesn't actually reload -> JESUS CHRIST RELOAD THE GUN SLAM RELOAD AGAIN -> helldiver begins reload animation where it left off finally This and hitting stim and my helldiver stabbing himself but not actually stimming are my biggest pet peeves, but I figure its probably related to anytime I do play with buddies they're on the east coast and im on the west so its latency/desync related but I dunno...

Played a game with the Arc launcher with some goons last night. I only had one team kill with it as far as I know. I really like it but at the same time it's not as satisfying to use as some of the guns. I almost wish the arc graphic was just bigger or brighter or something. Make it feel a bit more chunky. Also the slugger is good but with the new changes it felt way to slow to fire to be useful against bugs. Take it every time against bots though.

Dead Like Rev posted:Oh. And if you are out there Daveslash. Enemy light post spotted. A while ago, the devs turned off the "random stratagem" condition where you'd chuck a strat and might get something at random. If daveslash ever got to fly the eagle, it would result in something similar. Or like trying to throw a strat into a jammed area, wondering if the game just ate your strategem. Or a new shrapnel rain strategem that's just daveslash's eagle parts crashing into the nearest tall object.

A backpack full of Hellbomb Junior™ to throw at nests with a magic forcefield protecting it from everyone's grenades, support weapons, and strats might finally pry me away from the autocannon.

Someone did a lot of interesting research on what influences how frequently patrols spawn: https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1bdudf3/lets_talk_about_patrols_an_in_depth_analysis_of/ Notably, both loading screen tips about it seem to be lies: mission time has no influence, and destroying outposts slightly increases global spawn rate, but greatly reduces spawn rate near where the outpost was. Completing all primary objectives massively increases it, and being near the evac point (whether it's possible to evac or not) also massively increases it. Using a reinforce point sometimes massively increases it, but the effect seems very random. Sindai fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Mar 13, 2024 |

Quicksilver6 posted: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. I like that autocannons break that rule due to how they work, so you can load two clips, but can't reload till one is finished entirely.
