The game is at its most fun when poo poo hits the fan and you have to stand your ground and annihilate wave after wave of enemies which you get when you seek out trouble and shoot patrols you could sneak past. Sometimes you only have x many minutes to play a quick round? The difference in clearing the map vs just main objectives can be like 20 minutes difference on some maps/mission types

Mortars work a lot better with bots 2. ALWAYS call out your mortar when you throw it. If your teammates are aware that death will be arriving through the air shortly, they may actually make an attempt to not get pasted

Man, I'd love to keep playing more of this game that requires you to do multiple missions in a set of missions if it didn't keep loving crashing randomly every so often.

Man, the resupply values for the machine gun are so bad. It's probably my favorite weapon, but it's absolutely absurd to try and keep bullets in the thing when an ammo box only gives you 1 magazine.

Found out that the quasar cannon can close bug holes. If I get the stun grenades can they also close bug holes or should I bring something else along that can?

Fangz posted:I absolutely hate the mortar and will destroy it. It's just not worth it. Even vs bots. It might be okay if you are completely in control of the situation, but the moment you find yourself in a running battle, when you are trying to push to an objective, when you are trying to reclaim gear or samples, it will kill you over and over and over. Or both, even! And a laserdog for good measure. Build a robot army of democracy! Surely the robot faction won't find a way to turn that against us. [edit] Going back to destroyer name chat, I started as the SES Spear of Benevolence, because I liked the irony of it, but now I'm a convert to SES Elected Representative of Self-Determination, both because of the length, as well as the fact that that combination of words is incredibly silly.

Closes bug holes, blows up factories, knocks down drop ships. I'm legit concerned they will decide they overtuned it and reel it back in because right now it's super fun and frees up a backback slot from my usual of either AC or Greedy Grenades.

Mortar is absolutely incredibly on bot eradication missions, though. Did a difficulty 7 eradication with a group, we all brought regular and ECS mortars to boost them (plus strats for taking out heavy armor), we won the mission without a single death and without firing a shot super quickly.

I was playing with some Chinese pubbies the other day and they seemed to have endless grenades? I don't think they were re-supplying, I swear they were throwing like 10 in a row.

They could revert the railgun back to its original form and it wouldn't have crazy usage or people screaming about how OP it is now that we have real alternatives and there aren't five chargers around every corner.

Sure but in the time it takes to go wander off and kill that last large outpost on the other side of the map from extract, you can just complete the current mission and start a new one, killing even more bugs

I do try to drop in ways that let you just loop and naturally sweep the map. This is how I play, I've been doing a lot of bots on helldiver difficulty recently and honestly, taking as many fabs etc as you can on the way around really makes the extract so much easier.

The other day we landed right on top of a bot patrol. And also right next to a random hellbomb, which we found out when it went off about five seconds into the ensuing firefight. For some reason I was left untouched by the explosion, but as I was gloating about this fact, I managed to get chunked by the hellpod containing my machinegun I'd just called in. I loving love this stupid game so much.

For sure, if playing with friends, we normally just pick if we will go clockwise or counterclockwise around the map in general, but mostly make lines to the main objectives, sidetracking to kill outposts or do secondaries along the way.

I've never used the railgun because I got the game post nerf and it just doesn't seem as useful as the AC or the Quasar. As for the Senator, I love that as a sidearm against bots. I don't like the machine pistol as it goes through ammo too fast.

If the current railgun was a primary weapon it wouldn't even be in the top three of primaries, let alone the support weapons. I don't think I've seen literally one person use it in weeks. It's in a place where it's simultaneously far too slow to use against light/medium enemies well and doesn't do enough damage against heavies. As you say, the AC works almost as well as the railgun against heavies and is much better against light/mediums, and the Quasar does the job against heavies much better than the Railgun Piell fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Apr 1, 2024 |

Makes it much more ammo efficient at the cost of more rsi also useful for the liberator (put it into 3-round bursts). mandatory for the railgun to put it into unsafe mode. there's a setting so it remembers the modes you've set forever, so you don't have to keep fiddling, except for railgun which you have to put into unsafe with every new one
