BeAuMaN posted:Description says it unlocks Steeled Veterans in addition to the other goodies. No 1000 SC. What I have heard is if people buy the super citizen edition upgrade and already have steeled veterans before doing so, then they get nothing. So people have contacted customer support and they will give them 1000sc (the cost of steeled veterans). Or so I've heard. You might be waiting for a while though due to all the other issues support is dealing with.

Wow the ballistic shield loving sucks, and it bugs out constantly when you hold it (and an SMG) while picking up samples. It also rarely protects you from frontal shots. It also destroys first person aiming (for good reason) by covering your entire screen but for a peep hole, but you are still very much exposed while holding it In what universe is this supposed to be at all on the same level as the shield generator lol

The new lighting armor makes arc damage negligible so you can have your buddies shoot you with arc and it'll bounce off you and chain into any bugs/bots close to you that way you can chain the arc further than usual. Just make sure your buddy is wearing the armor.

It's funny how consistently popular this game is. MHW never hit the top players for this game, and definitely didn't hold onto players like HD2 has (on PC at least). Sony should really pump resources into this game/dev

sushibandit posted:Unfortunately that would require either giving up +2 grenades and better crouching accuracy (on medium/heavy) or better stealth and infinite radar (on light) which are pretty much welded to my helldiver at this point. The reduced explosive damage perk comes with reduced recoil too, so you're just losing two grenades. It's my goto for autocannon.

Plasma Punisher initial impressions (against bots): It's... surprisingly okay? It's essentially a crappy GL that goes into your primary slot with pretty meh damage (if you don't get direct hits expect to expend a lot of ammo due to the splash damage fall-off) but the heavy arc lets you fire off from behind cover and the shots stun Devastators for like half a second every time you catch one in the splash. I don't see myself using it often, but I came in with zero expectations for it and left feeling like I wouldn't mind testing it some more so that's a win in my book. Plus you can blue-plate special the jetpack bots which gives it immediate bonus points in my eyes: https://i.imgur.com/bQEBLUP.mp4 (Yes I missed like half those shots on the devastator I'm not good at aiming okay)

Did anyone else find themselves back in tutorial mode when they played today? I wasn’t thrown into the tutorial, but I’m getting tips on basically everything including advice on changing weapons when they run out of ammo. It’s getting quite annoying to be honest and can’t see any obvious way of turning it off.

sushibandit posted:Rocket bots should all be grenade bots instead. Imagine the panic when a flurry of grenades from a devastator flies through the air and drops all around you beeping for a couple of seconds before exploding, as opposed to the "welp guess I just died" instagib that rockets tend to do if you're not glued to the shield pack. Serpentines, Babou - Serpentines! In all fairness, I've actually gone to fighting bots without a Shield Pack but it really depends on the map. Bot Vietnam (Malevelon Creek) has a ton of tree lines, so you can easily get away without a shield pack by using trees as cover. On wide open maps... Yeah, the shield pack might be a bit more useful since there's nowhere to hide. I could see myself grokking it with Smoke Grenades instead though so I could keep using the Autocannon.

They did a good job making most stratagems useful, but the Ballistic Shield is actually detrimental on top of taking up a stratagem slot thanks to its downsides by far and away outweighing its upsides.

God I wish heat meters were better. None in 1st person. 3rd person useless distracting spinning crosshair. Bottom left by your grenade count, a tiny meter you can't afford to watch when actually shooting things. But finally, we have a laser that is VASTLY better than I expected. Considering the sales pitch was "Burst fire laser" and not "Laser assault rifle classic X-Com would be proud of" holy poo poo. It even has ACTUAL ammo reserves, and gets a full 6 reload on supplies (once more reminding me the heavy MG and AMR get basically gently caress all  ). Plus the laser bullets nature means getting my aim skewed by enemy bullets is not wasting 90% of the damage like the beam rifle.My low bar was "hope it can center mass burst down small robots without needing multiple bursts". Instead I got "Amazing even on a hot world" except for the odd feeling it is worse at destroying devastator faces in a hurry than the defender. My muscle memory for "And now it is dead" keeps betraying me

Section Z posted:But finally, we have a laser that is VASTLY better than I expected. Doubly funny because they stayed true to Helldivers 1 where the Sickle was vastly better than the Scythe (and was pretty much the best primary in general). That being said, I still enjoy the Scythe as it's very good at performing surgery (i.e., amputation) on bugs even though it's not the optimal primary choice.

The Sickle is lightyears ahead of anything else in the Warbond. It's almost insulting how useless both of the shotguns are. I'm particularly disappointed in the Blitzer (even though it's better than the plasma shotty) because the description says it arcs to all enemies in range. It doesn't. It hits maybe 3 targets and often doesn't kill. Slugger/breaker are still the best.

PringleCreamEgg posted:The plasma shotgun seems great at dealing with hordes of weak bugs, it’s like a mini grenade launcher. Problem is it doesn't even really do that because the AOE is incredibly small. Visually it's big, but the actual damage AOE might only hit a couple scavengers. You run out of ammo incredibly fast trying to do what most other guns do better without even trying. I'm not big on following meta builds, but there aren't even niches where the Punisher/Blitzer perform well. They're genuinely a waste of a slot.
