Good job liberating Hellmire everyone! I was actually around to see the planet percent tick over to 100% in one of my games and was slightly disappointed to see that there's no big fanfare for it happening

The laser cannon is really good with the stun grenades. You get enough time to easily pop the butt off a charger or blow up a hulk's eye.

Orbital Railgun used to dome Bile Titans in one shot right? Or am I misremembering because it never takes them out in one shot but maybe it never did and I'm thinking Chargers.

It does if it hits them right. I'm certain it's become less effective. Like it's anecdotal but when I see the laser targeting I don't alter my behaviour (such as running for my life or firing expensive ordnance at the thing) like I used to when I trusted it to kill them.

I've never once seen the orbital rail one shot a titan, though I've seen people say if you pop the bile sacs first it can, since those also damage its body health pool.

It's never always one-shot Bile Titans, just sometimes if you hit their head. Either way it softens them up real nice though, so a followup hit from a rocket or 500k usually seals the deal (and vice-versa)

Perhaps this is what I've seen happen. The rail cannon seems like a massive waste to me. Long cooldown for one shot that doesn't necessarily kill.

The upshots of the Railcannon are that it's big, safe, and nearly guaranteed damage and ignores complex strategem or scatter bullshit, which isn't nothing. It even targets Shrieker nests! I find it pairs nicely with 500kg to supplement EATs or RRs for dealing with BTs and the occasional Charger in 7s and 8s.

The EAT is so good, I hardly feel compelled to use any other support weapon. I used the recoilless yesterday and it was also great, but since it uses a backpack, the reload takes long and you can't willy nilly toss it out at every objective I think I'll go back to the EAT. Some of the weapons work so well, I hope they don't nerf them but instead make the other weapons stronger for Check out how close my friend was to a dropped 500kg. Amazing you can survive that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajYMs1YZa1o I guess the batch processing of those sweet gang tags has ended and I unfortunately did not qualify?

I hope they listen to people complaining about the Spear and buff it. I get it's not that good againt bugs, but I think I really managed to disappoint a pubbie team last night after taking out half the bot fabricators and all the parked dropships on a "Destroy Airfield" mission with it before any of them could even get near the bases  ...and then we failed the Blitz mission after because three of us died and the last guy spent 5 minutes stealthing around a Stratagem Disruptor trying to reach the terminal instead of just running out of the area and calling us in there

Main thing the 500KG has going for it is it's surprisingly generous about teamkilling despite the look of it, well, most of the time. https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1ap26cx/eagle_pilot_mightve_had_too_much_to_drink_today/ I am hoping the EAT won't go the way of the railgun and they will buff up the "I am upping the difficulty by taking this" tier of stratagems and guns before they do something like double the cooldown of the EAT, which would probably cause another railgun level meltdown in the community.

Mission debuffs already hurt the speedy time on rockets, but if/when they bring back the randomizer it sure won't help matters. Eat is really, really cool. But it isn't "Deal with a dozen spitters/rocket devastators AND that charger/hulk" cool.

Just had a run-in with a Charger that had visibly heavier armor on the head and front legs.

The randomizer would be fine if it randomized the inputs instead of randomized what you ended up with in your hand after the inputs, requiring you to cancel and start over to roll the dice again.

We tried running 9s on Omicron last night while the Terminid surge was happening and it was legitimately impossible. Just wave after wave after wave of enemies; we couldn't call down enough EATs and resupplies to keep up with the amount of Chargers and Titans that were spawning on us. 10/10 would try again

Kinda feel like there needs to be some kind of ingame notification system that is "out of lore", maybe on the home screen, about stuff like the Arc Thrower/Tesla Tower situation. Joined a pub game where two people brought Arc Throwers, and by the end of the mission only me and another guy who hadn't brought one were left. I even spotted one guy running on the spot, so obviously froze on their end.

Every time a long range 500 bomb toss bounces off the back of a bot factory juuuuuust far enough that it is outside the explosion range is so much worse than not managing to throw it far enough in the first place I also wish I knew how to consistently get them to stick to the roof, I would pay super credits for super glue on all strat balls. Durzel posted:Kinda feel like there needs to be some kind of ingame notification system that is "out of lore", maybe on the home screen, about stuff like the Arc Thrower/Tesla Tower situation. Or at the very least put it on the steam forums front page. The mindset of "Why didn't you also go into the discord to search for a problem you could not have known existed?" is pretty rough and I am glad for browsing this thread keeping me warned of the BIG stuff. EDIT: Checking just in case they did actually list it, They have not edited the "Known issues" post since February 12th. Section Z fucked around with this message at 11:59 on Mar 25, 2024 |

I've stopped taking the 500kg for anything other than bile titans. And with stun grenades being a thing, I'm debating replacing the 500kg with the orbital strike. Every other strat just seems to work better in other situations.

You might have known planet temperature only slightly influences how long laser weapons can fire, but instead mostly influences how long it takes them to cool down afterwards. What nobody knew until someone tried testing for those numbers and got very confused about inconsistent results is that the game models wear on heat sinks. The more you heat and cool one the less time it takes to heat up. Remember to replace your laser cannon heat sink whenever you resupply! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFAWp-5Pg-k&t=58s Sindai fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Mar 25, 2024 |

I tried the grenade launcher against bots. I put two rounds into the chest of a rocket devastator and then he killed me with a rocket cross counter as the third grenade finished him off. I will not be using the grenade launcher against bots again.

It's significantly better vs. bots IMO - it instantly kills raiders and doesn't seem to just continuously fire like the laserdog... but the drones are pretty meh vs. bots because their dangerous stuff is armored and generally out of range of the Dog.

God drat I bought this game a week ago and I just unlocked the patriot mech last night. Mid level games I like the grenade / supply pack / stalwart combo. But in playing some suicide levels I mix between Scythe / Breaker / Liberator Penetrator but I still like the stalwart for shear lead on target. The rover (laser) backpack is still a godsend to keep things off you

I brought gundog once and it emptied its clip and never reloaded once in the entire mission and just floated there uselessly? Did I miss something or was that a bug?

I do like the laser backpack, even though you'll chug a lot more stims without a shield backpack and the occasional damage from it hitting you, it is so good against bugs for keeping a anti-hunter field around yourself at all times.

Aside from allowing me to indulge in my passion for pyro more frequently and for longer durations, I like the laser rover because the hum its engines make is very calming when it’s the only thing you hear during the game freezing up.
