Is there a trick to not getting kicked from every lobby I join to play this game?
More than half the time someone several levels higher than me is doing the same mission I selected from the map and then I wind up back in my ship and unable to play the game. :(

Flamethrower owns bones, and when there are two people running them you can control so much of the map. Also love standing next to my mech buddies while spreading fiery democracy. Now for some resist armor...

moderately annoying

the flamethrower is great at killing things in a line and can definitely clear hordes of scavengers/warriors/hunters/hive guards if they're cooperative enough to come at you mostly single file

it's too bad that it's even more terrible against spewers than most of the existing weapons

Just host your own game, throw out an SOS beacon once you get to the planet to prioritize your game in the matchmaking queue if people don't join you in the ship.

Basically just manually choosing games from the map that don't have way higher level players. It's one of the things I hate in games like this where as time goes on you'll see more people who don't wanna play with newer players, players without top tier everything, players who don't have the FOTM meta builds, etc. I've already been hit with it a few times where if I see the host is 5+ levels higher than me, I gotta cross my fingers I don't get kicked right away.

Using the terrain you can find and abuse it to bunch up the bugs. The AI is pretty dumb and they'll just walk single file through the flames. Getting to high ground is always insta win.

Nothing in this game feels quite as satisfying as when you bullseye a teammate with your reinforcement pod. Bonus points if you're reinforcing because they killed you.

Yes, it felt incredibly weak. I don't understand what its supposed to be for. At least the Plasma Punisher can shoot in parabolic arcs.

You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.



Anyone else not getting all their Super Credits after a mission? I had one last night where I was sure I'd gotten at least 3 pickups but I only had 20 more SC afterwards, but it was after a long mission and it was late and I was tired and high so I thought I might just have remembered wrong. But just now I was definitely only 10 away from buying the armor on sale and I definitely got 2 SC pickups in a quick Trivial and I only had 10 more when I got back to the ship.

Playing with some friends last night and we ran out of reinforcements. One Helldiver left, struggling to survive until the next reinforcement is available. He calls it down and the guy lands right on top of him, killing him instantly. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

The Senator would be my secondary if it didn't take as long to reload its six shots as reloading every bullet in a punisher for some reason. In fact the punisher may be faster.

Since Yuri is one of the options for your Helldiver's voicepack you could mod in his New Vegas lines and complete the Veteran Ranger experience.

So you better go back to your bars, your temples

You really have to anticipate flamethrower use. If you try to spin it up while a harangue of hunters is hopping towards you, they will laugh at you and call you names.

For me it really melts chargers like butter and for that alone it's worth it. It feels good to heat up breaches as they spawn, too.

Getting pretty tired of running good missions with good pubbie crews (nobody accepts friend requests, perhaps indicating that I’m not very good) only for the game to error out during the extraction tickdown. I really need medals okay

I don't think this is always a kick. I was playing with friends earlier and it kicked me to my ship and it was the game doing it because everyone thought I had fully crashed. The servers started randomly kicking people including the host so we stopped playing.

Word is that the latest COD lacked zombie mode (whatever that is) or didn’t have a sufficient one and the fuckin okies are coming in as a result, making GBS threads in the streets and leaving their mics on

Yeah, various journalists are writing articles that basically point out that COD Zombies, Destiny 2, and Payday 3 all suck and have lost their playbase, and speculate that the "Reddit Meta Sweatlords" that usually clog those games up are making the pub game of high difficulty matches in Hell Divers terrible.

It's a noble purpose, being the load bearing member of sweatlords I don't want to play with, so I hope they improve COD Zombies ASAP.

Been toying around with visual settings since this game has some rather nasty aliasing in certain spots. I have a 1080p monitor and a 4080 card.

What would be the more effective option for me to get the best image quality? Would I be better off using DLDSR to run the game at a higher resolution like 1440p or 4K on my monitor or would I be better off running at 1080p Native resolution or using the DLSS or Supersampling options?

Yes/no/no/yes. AA and Mortar vents are slightly more armoured for some reason but you can absolutely use the Slugger to take down a cannon if you need to.

Decided to play some lower difficulties to get that sense of mayhem from people who are a bit newer at the game. Instead got put in a game with a guy who seemed to be throwing from the first minute. Called down 120 on where we landed, repeatedly team killing, then going in chat to ask for other people to be kicked. I hit da bricks, not fun. Had some other fun games tho. It shows that you can be level 50, play on Hard, and have everything unlocked but if you are playing the objective and your team are bananas you will still struggle.

Im not a hardware head by any means, and idk abt AA specifically, but if you’ve got the juice I find that quality DLSS at 2160x1728 is a good compromise bw fidelity and performance
