With the 500kg you can toss the strategem and be halfway out of the nest territory by the time it blows up all the eggs and the bugs breach.

Oh and the GL loadout made me switch back from Sickle to Breaker because of the spinup lag on Sickle. Can’t use GL when bugs are in your face because grenades will bounce off and the weapon switch needs to be fast because the bugs are in your face.

Sindai posted:Rest of the post is good advice but both those guns are cool and fun. Breaker and S&P are very similar now, it just comes down to whether you want more DPS or more total damage between reloads. Either works fine. Plasma Punisher has a learning curve but once you get a feel for how to arc shots at varying ranges it's good and unique. Bad handling, but you can play around that. Which doesn't mean that the bad handling is meaningless, it's still poor at killing bugs right on top of you due to slow speed swinging around to them-but you have a secondary slot, and your redeemer is arguably the best gun in the game for spraying down hunters that're harassing you. Meanwhile, JAR pens and bile spewer heads and fully pens brood commander armor-the only other primaries that do that are the slugger and liberator penetrator, the former of which is good but limited by RoF and the latter of which is in an awkward middle ground where it's not as good at clearing trash as normal liberator and also not nearly as good at popping those mentioned targets as slugger/JAR. You could maybe argue me into moving spray and pray into 'mediocre' but I really do not think having slightly better damage per mag is worth it when both DPS is worse, and breakpoints are way worse. Not being able to oneshot hunters(and warriors) is a really, really big downside, and because of your breakpoints being worse in such a dramatic way, you're not actually getting better effective damage per mag most of the time, because you frequently have to shoot targets twice instead of once. hey mom its 420 posted:is it just me or have pubbies been getting worse lately? I usually run missions on 8 difficulty, and most people just seem to kind of run around aimlessly without a clear goal in mind. In my recent game I tried so hard to get them to kill a stalker lair with me but everyone just kind of did their own thing. Surprise, in the end we all got hosed up by stalkers My personal bugbear is pubbies who a). just do not call reinforcements, either at all or in a reasonable amount of time b). just do not ever come over to 2-button bunkers LazyMaybe fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Mar 23, 2024 |

Well it finally happened. Running a suicide mission with randoms. Everything going well, clearing the map really easy and no deaths. I come across the super samples, and as I'm right near the extract point I type in chat "just going to drop the samples at extract." Start walking over and..... you have been kicked. I just laughed and joined another random group who were almost finished and had their samples, so no big loss.

I think that by giving you a lot of strategy and playstyle options the devs have messed up matchmaking a bit. Some people are kicking others just to be shits, but there's a lot of grumbling about pubbies not following the chosen strategy of the host. In DRG, the most annoying thing you have to deal with are people who insist on building bunkers all the time, and carrying someone is not that big of a deal since they're generally not making the situation actively worse.

Same, I tried the baseball pitcher armor and it was awesome but I love not dying. Charger trucks you? Live on 1%. Shrieker touches you? 1% health all limbs broken Teammate drops an Orbital Airburst on you? That’s right, 1%. Pop a stim and get back in there.

So are the heavy armours ever worth equipping if the basic Helldivers armour has the same damage resist? Is the increased recoilbresistance really worth it?

Ive a buddy who swears by them, but IMO with the dumb critical hit/headshot system as it is I just dont think heavy armor has much merit atm. I hope they reconsider it being a thing, and just let head-armor be inherited from your torso armor stats.

Breaker and S&P are very similar now, it just comes down to whether you want more DPS or more total damage between reloads. Either works fine. Plasma Punisher has a learning curve but once you get a feel for how to arc shots at varying ranges it's good and unique. Definitely agree on the Plasma Punisher. Once you get the swing of it, it's a great jack-of-all-trades that I have consistent success with it vs bugs even in 7s and 8s (haven't tried it in a bug 9 yet). Its time to kill on larger bugs like brood commanders is obviously less than the slugger or dominator, and it's not as good at handling large swarms of hunters as a breaker or punisher, but it's one of the only weapons that can reliably do both. You can also kill chargers with 5 butt shots but tbh usually I just take them out with an EAT or whatever, but it's still a fairly reliable option. The AOE shouldn't be underestimated either, you can fire it wildly into a bug breach and obliterate anything that isn't a heavy, and from a safer distance than you can with the shotguns. VS bots you can abuse the hell out of the projectile arc to kill them from behind cover where they can't shoot you, it's very safe and effective. Really it's only glaring weakness imo (over than the learning curve) is that you can't really handle hunters in your face, but you can just use your pistol and/or a laser dog. I highly recommend people give it another chance - it's not a weapon that everyone will like, but it's very effective once you get the feel for it.

You can get both recoil resistance perks (+nades, explosive resist) on light armour so there's no reason to use heavy armour.

I think my main problem with everything that's not the slugger is it's got so much ammo and the rounds reload feels so good. Whenever I use another primary and have to clip reload in the middle of a swarm it feels bad. Some primaries definitely need an ammo bump.

I think I'd use the first machine gun strategem more often if it came with larger magazines or a belt-fed backpack attachment so I could pretend I'm a Kerberos Panzer Cop.
