Off-camera rocket bots are deadly world-class assassins https://i.imgur.com/F7Y1c4C.mp4 Hats Wouldnt Fly posted:Just to be clear though the bot guns aren't hitscan either, they shoot projectiles. They're fast projectiles and they're good at leading targets that are moving in a straight line, but they have travel time greater than 0. I guess but those things are hitting you in like 3 frames at close-mid range

I tried eng armor for the extra grenades, but coming off light stealth I really miss the stamina regen and a bar that seems miles long Being able to take a bit of a bike spew would be nice though I have had the chance to pick up some weapons I have not unlocked yet from other people's deaths and Breaker incindiary is basically useless The shoulder laser is kinda fun so far Using the laser gatling gun I've given up a bit on the stalwart since I can't unload on a bile big and take it down on helldiver difficulty, so I can switch It for something else fun. Except for hellmire an all laser load out might be fun

Section Z posted:Ore sample machine is one of the more shameless cases of "gently caress it just spawn them on top of the objective" when it comes to scripted breaches and dropships in reaction to trying to do things. They skip the 'Those seven patrols were right around that corner the whole time!' phase and go straight to reinforcements. Guess you should have read that disclaimer about disturbing underground creatures when fighting robots huh? Man I hope you enjoy playing this video game too

Hats Wouldnt Fly posted:Just to be clear though the bot guns aren't hitscan either, they shoot projectiles. I read this as the aiming portion is a hitscan, as in; the bot entity has an alert status query and starts a scan in its designated aim range and when it hits the player it shoots. The aim portion is hit scan, that's how the aim seems to be impeccable.

Roundboy posted:Breaker incindiary is basically useless There is a secret trick to the Pyro shotgun. That trick is "Spray N Pray is still worse holy poo poo I thought they buffed this?". Fire shotgun at least is going to be killing any baby bug hit by more than one pellet. If you hate hunters (It is gonna take 2 shots) and want a shotgun that can still sometimes gently caress up a spitter? The mountain of ammo it has compared to breaker per drum can make it feel passable for unironic "trash clear" that can still gently caress up greys and encourage armored reds to hunker down. A shame that vs bots, as funny as it is watching robo troopers tip over dead from a light graze and burning to death (They WILL launch a flare first). It really struggles to put down medium bots due to that wide spray. jokes posted:Man I hope you enjoy playing this video game too I have been using the fire shotgun on purpose more often, so that is either a good sign or a bad sign!

Even with the heavy armor I was getting one-shotted by the spewers on medium, the extra mobility has been much better for saving my dumb rear end

Ravenfood posted:Yeah artillery is probably good for loving up teams if everyone doesn't try to finish that ASAP and move on. One or two people dicking around trying to load the gun and getting picky about which rounds to load while other people stand around can lead to a bad, bad time. That’s why you sort out rounds and round order before kicking off the trigger (touching the console)

My pro artillery strat: grab the samples, throw in whatever shells are closest to finish it ASAP, then forget it exists and never use it. I finally unlocked the Scorcher tonight and holy poo poo it is easily the best gun in the game. One shots small stuff, kills medium stuff super fast. Explosive and I think has the Slugger's "light-medium" armor pen so it hurts anything that's not ultra heavy. Accurate. Easily my favorite primary in the game. Sure you burn through ammo fast but that's because you're killing everything you look at almost immediately. Sindai fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Mar 26, 2024 |

To be honest I like that the bots are laser accurate with some weapons through fog: they're loving robots, they're using their cyber eyes to locate and destroy patriotic helldivers!

I agree with whoever was complaining about the ore vein bug spawns. It's significantly tougher than the other 40 minute missions in kind of an annoying way. It's fine they come up from the ground. Makes sense. Just make them do it far enough away you can actually use stuff like cluster bombs and air bursts. Sindai fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Mar 26, 2024 |

Getting good enough at the game where I'm starting to hate the level 45-50 dudes who speedrun the main objective without saying a word and then try to extract. Just going to host games from now on instead of trying to join others, so I can kick these douches.

I prefer to host the game for this reason. I've unlocked everything in the game except warbonds, so there's no need for me to farm mats and do secondaries, but I still do them because blowing things up is fun and playing the game is fun.

A shrieker nest appears in the distance. We're on an overlook with no enemies nearby. Me, carrying a grenade launcher with supply pack: "Hey, if you kill those shrieker towers with your autocannon I'll feed you ammo from my backpack!" Pubbie with autocannon and a full ammo pack: "Oh it can damage those?" Me: "Yeah it takes 10 shots to destroy each spire and you can hit them from right here across the map before they even spawn shriekers!" Pubbie with autocannon: "Awesome, that sounds good!" *Pubbie continues on like nothing happened, charges with the rest of the group into the shrieker nest to hellbomb it, and we lose 10+ reinforcements during the effort. The group never fully recovers and death spirals into a failure cascade.* Me:

Sure but what you're talking about will probably want a different word, seeing as there's no 'hit' aspect and hitscan has been used to mean a projectile that hits it's target instantly upon being fired with a travel time of 0 frames for, like, probably at least three decades now.

Hi guys its me, Amazing Member, I made a post where I describe "hitscan" from the post I read a page back from another user; in that post that i wrote I described how I understood what the OP was describing from my perspective. Did you know? Hitscan has one specific meaning in the game world lexicon of shooter games? I did. But i'm also able to learn that words can mean different things and change in meaning over time, you know, like an idiot right? In other actually relevant news: the scout buggy owns, toot toot muthertruckers

Dunno why y'all have so much trouble with bot rockets, just dodge imho https://i.imgur.com/nEMmaWZ.mp4 Also maybe don't run into the open with no cover like I did, don't know what I was thinking there (probably fixated on the super sample rock)

Rhymenoserous posted:That’s why you sort out rounds and round order before kicking off the trigger (touching the console) According to those who have done thorough testing, touching the console doesn't actually affect enemy spawns at all. Unless the event specifically triggers reinforcements (like seismic probes), the only reason that touching the console seems to make enemies show up is because patrols will always start to show up if you spend long enough hanging around an objective location.

Deliberately misinterpreting a very commonly used term in online shooter games, used in the context of this online shooter game, and then claiming it's just the natural evolution of language seems a bit lovely to me. It's confusing if you want to have a genuine discussion about game mechanics, like the inability of goons to dodge missiles or get behind cover.
