I've had a lot more crashes since the most recent patch, and my gpu is running a lot hotter than before too. Verified files and nothing was fixed, still get new and interesting crashed every now and then.Alkydere posted:got the plasma shotgun and not sure if I love or hate it. I'm in the same space but I've only run a couple of missions with it, and only against bots. It does good work but it's odd to use, it'll probably be pretty good when we all get more skilled with it. How does it fair against bugs? I imagine a little worse much in the same way the scorcher has issues with anything getting point blank in your face.

Since the new bit automaton mech was already spoiled... I mean I'm just going to talk about it vaguely but afaik it was being tested pre-launch. The geometry of the model makes me ask: isn't this going to get stuck? Big fat model that's low to thr ground. Unlike bile titans which have really long legs to compensate, though those still get stuck sometimes. New mech will probably be fine if they spawn it in a forest or open ground but it's going to look real jank in a base.

Chargers have stumpy legs but no problem teleporting their way onto cliffs to chase jetpack users or smash my stun mortar turret. However unlike chargers, I expect new robots will not care if they get stuck on high ground they cheated their way onto because it will probably have a gun. So my main concern is "It will probably be immune to autocannons and AMR from the front and/or above it." Section Z fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Mar 17, 2024 |

Maybe though charger is in a different category. Just image a stubby legged bile titan trying to traverse between two relatively close together factories. Or between mountains. If that makes sense.

Late to this but the Sickle does visibly start venting steam when it's about to overheat, and its projectiles become fuzzier and distort a little. On that note, has anyone noticed regular guns shoot red tracers to show when you're about to run out in your current mag? Either that's new or I never noticed it before.

Just started playing this and it's dope. I was having trouble with the automatons until I unlocked the first shotgun, being able to stagger the melee chainsaw hand guys makes them a lot more manageable. The original game had a third enemy, do we know if they are gonna make an appearance at some point?

I imagine a little worse much in the same way the scorcher has issues with anything getting point blank in your face. It does decent damage and you can clean out the trash pretty well since they die to the splash. I think the splash makes it pretty good against the medium and big bugs too as it damages their limbs. Only died to self-inflicted damage once and that was with a brood commander was in my face and about to remove it anyways. Honestly I'd love it more if the shots were easier to place, i.e. faster and with less drop. I imagine against bots who mostly stand at range and shoot it's probably good for lobbing shots.

Any field reports on the Arc-12 Blitzer or the Las-7 Dagger in the new warbond? I can't decide which to go for first, but the Punisher Plasma shotgun was a disappointment compared to the Sickle from the 1st page.

Qubee posted:I use Eagle Cluster Bomb on bug nests and it'll eradicate most - if not all - bug holes. I love it for bug nests, it's completed before we even set foot inside. For egg missions where you gotta go destroy those big egg bases, it's hit or miss because of the geometry of the surrounding landscape. I used to use grenade launcher but I found it underwhelming for killing armoured bugs so I prefer running with an EAT. Cluster bombs seal bug holes?! Well gently caress, that's a way better option than airstrikes then. I had been assuming that all of the "not effective against armor" stratagems couldn't seal tunnels, but I guess cluster bombs are probably still tagged as explosive. For eggs I usually have a flamethrower on hand for bug missions, so I can just power-wash them down pretty quickly. Failing that, they're usually clustered enough that a couple impact grenades will clear enough to complete the location.

I can't decide which to go for first, but the Punisher Plasma shotgun was a disappointment compared to the Sickle from the 1st page. I have not personally tested out the Dagger, but all reports I have from people I know and trust say that it sucks: its DPS is just so terrible that if you had to actually rely on it to live, you'd be dead long before the infinite ammo aspect was ever relevant. I have personally tried out the Arc-12 Blitzer and it's... a good enough shotgun. The arc-ing is nice, as is its capacity to harm things that are harmed by explosive damage, but it just does not have the staying power or armor penetration to last against most serious engagements long term. A single Hive Guard can stonewall you, for instance. Uh, bring it if you really hate Spewers with a fiery passion, but are also willing to go toe to toe with them, and have some other dedicated anti-medium armor support weapon?

So I've been encountering Automatons that look like the regular frontline troopers except they have these big flared shoulders that look like batwings. I haven't been able to get a good look at them because Draupnir is just chaos, but other than their appearance they don't seem very different in how they fight. Are they new or do they just show up at higher difficulties?

They've always been in, they have a jetpack but I think maybe they only use it to jump at you on 7+ because I've been doing level 5 bot missions today and haven't seen any fly. e: They are probably only on some planets which may explain why they're new to you. Usually the enemy variants (like green artillery bugs instead of yellow spitter bugs) are only on certain planets. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Mar 17, 2024 |

cluster bombs close the helldivers who are in the nest you just called a cluster bomb on who are closing the holes at the time of the cluster bombing, so it may appear that the cluster bomb is doing something

Just sprint and sprint and sprint? run away if you can. Like literally out of the zone. This can be tough on harder difficulties if its late in the mission as the patrol spawns will be insane, but sometimes you just need to get clear.

i think i've seen an airburst actually close a hole, tho, so maybe it really just is one of those when-the-stars-align things (or, in airburst's case, when the hole is at the perfect angle to and facing the destroyer in orbit)

Insert name here posted:Clusters can close holes and destroy fabricators, however it needs a direct hit with a bomblet down the hole/vents so it's just total luck where sometimes you get a bonus objective destruction rather than something you rely on. I found a video on the subject and it seems like the positioning matters a lot to get cluster strike bomblets to land where they need to (the strike is a line perpendicular to your facing, and apparently drops from left to right, and for fabricator vents the line needs to be aligned toward the face of the fabricator). The video's poster also says in a pinned comment that a dev told him that it was a bug and would eventually not work anymore once they fixed it.

Just sprint and sprint and sprint? Pretty much. Diving/crouching is also a great way to get those chasing you to lose interest. Even better if you have the Scout trait on your armor. If necessary you can try to double back to your teammates and hope they peel off you. If you have a turret they're also decent distractions against the bugs and to much lesser extent the bots.

Basically, whenever I want to use something that isn't the grenade launcher on bug missions, I'll bring the scorcher because it pops them by shooting the sac very quickly. Obviously impact nades also help but they're not that great of a solution.

Upgrade the bridge to the third level so you can (usually) steer the hellpod away from baddies even when your team mates throw the beacon in a terrible place If I'm in trouble running away from baddies i throw grenades backwards and dive a lot
