Poldarn posted:Any tips for the 110? The times I tried it, it didn't seem to do much. Sagebrush posted:It hits the largest target in the area, so you need to use it like the rail cannon but with less power and faster reload. It will often kill a hulk or tank by itself, and two of them certainly will. Also, as far as I can tell the Eagle flies in from behind you/in beacon throw direction like a strafing run, not perpendicular to the throw like the various air strikes. This makes it pretty poo poo at moving targets unless you know where they'll be (just throw a stun grenade if it's not a titan), but also means large rocks to either side of you can't block the bombs like you sometimes see with airstrikes. Presumably you shouldn't have your back to a cliff wall when you throw it out, not sure how high up and what exact angle to the ground the rockets come in.

Extracting helldivers is a bonus, extracting samples is priority.

Don't forget that the enemy drops get bigger and harder the longer you wait. Unless you dropped a ton of samples and you really need them, it's best to just let them go and run another mission. And even then, a few samples on board the Pelican is better than all your samples left behind because you ran out of revives.

to be clear i had the samples, and they already cleared the extraction zone.. or at least they weren't in any immediate danger since i was within sight of the pelican.LazyMaybe posted:kind of a wack thing to say. also when your team is all running for extract, going in the opposite direction towards an optional objective on the other side of the map is basically just wasting everyone else's time. like either they give in to your implicit demand and turn around to go with you, or they just sit at extract twiddling their thumbs waiting for you to complete that side objective and then run back across the map to them im sure the lack of ability to communicate did not have any effect. also what exactly is the wack part? is there a stereotype that germans leave people behind? because if so, i mean, dang this didn't help their case! edit: also how is not completing a blue objective worth it?

You will quickly reach a point where XP and Requisition are completely meaningless, and blue objectives only slightly increase that. Samples take much longer to acquire. It’s lovely that they ditched if you had a ton of samples. But I also don’t like it when people are dicking around doing “Escape Pod” 500m away while I’m trying to extract.

The 110 rocket pods would be nice if it more reliably hit things, but it will even miss stationary things pretty often so I find it hard to recommend even against bots.

Strong Sauce posted:probably the most annoyed ive been yet. played a challenging, had a level 7, 2 level 30+.. they are all speaking german so i assume they're a group. they run for the evac zone but i see that one of the blue objectives, destroying the rogue building was still up but on the otherside of the map. i ran to that while they ran for the evac zone. i get there and the objective is bugged so i start running back to the evac zone. as the shuttle lands the level 7 guy just immediately gets on and i'm well outside of the 20 seconds or whatever it is.. they're also all speaking german i guess but i guess germans just leave people behind??? do you lose the samples if you dont evac out? Tbh that'son you for running off to the other side of the map by yourself

I like to think the lack of communication went like this: Helldiver pings a sub objective, runs off. German players keep saying "nein, nein" on comms and keep spamming the very English "Negative!" on the dialogue wheel. Helldiver keeps running, does shocked face watching them take off in Pelican 1.

It was probably three German bros talking about anime or baked schnitzel recipes or a girl in their pottery class and completely ignoring OP. Also under the Americans with Disabilities Act, German is a protected class so please do not make fun of those beautiful little schmetterling.

Obviously it's not as if germans are some disenfranchised group, but regardless you shouldn't act as if the country someone's from has anything to do the negative behavior of any given person.

The most cheerful and helpful people I have played with have been French-speaking. I wonder why? Maybe because their government doesn't suck rear end so they don't have a deep resentment towards the world. I also had a lot of fun with three Chinese guys who were very entertained by my Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard.

redreader posted:Every page, about 2-5 people post about 'eagle airstrike is always one of my choices' so I went back to it and used it for a few matches. There was one bot drop that I did a direct hit on and didn't kill a single bot. It doesn't kill the big shield bots or the gundam missile devastator bots. Maybe I'm just bad at video games? My guess that it's the drat dropships and their geometry blocking everything.

d0grent posted:idk if I like the sickle against bots, I empty almost a whole 'clip' into a devastator and then promptly get blasted into hell not to be an rear end in a top hat but have you tried just aiming for their faces? I feel like I pop devvy heads like crazy with the sickle, like I'm always surprised by how fast they go down. Plus you can just sweep it over a big pack of little guys at roughly head height and you'll usually get most of them.

Just cleared a bot blitz on difficulty 8 solo, no deaths, every base destroyed. Extracted after the mission timer had ended in the middle of a sandstorm, surrounded by bots. Felt great. Never taking off the stealth armour.

LazyMaybe posted:It certainly seems to make their aggro range very small. Not sure if it affects their vision once they are aggroed, though. Just now found out that you can sneak right past them, but in an earlier game it seemed, once the sandstorm came and we were in a fight we couldn't see anything but the automatons could.

Buffed AMR is very good, but I still prefer the Quasar for bots and the EAT for bugs, or the AC if I want to rapidly explode things from a distance.LazyMaybe posted:Ethnicity is always kind of fuzzy, but insofar as the term has meaning, yes. Maybe you're under the impression "ethnicity" means race-it doesn't, it refers to a social group that shares a common culture. All I know is Germans like starting world wars.

Xanasar posted:According to the description of the new warbond on the PlayStation blog, Expert Extraction Pilot Booster lowers the amount of time it takes the extraction shuttle to get to the beacon. If you're going to spend a slot on something that only applies to a very small segment of the mission, it should make the call down 15 seconds. Otherwise it isn't worth it at all. I'd rather have a smaller but consistent buff the entire map.

I managed to go a whole mission without dying after completing a previous mission I lived a long time in, so at the end of the second mission my Helldiver was still soaked in the blood from two missions ago. It was a first for me but I thought, wow, what a run for this little soldier! As soon as we dropped on mission three my dear friend and battle companion dropped a cluster bomb on me. So long little Helldiver...
