FLIPADELPHIA posted:The new marksman weapon (Adjudicator) is by far the worst weapon in the game, do not get it lol hosed up to refer to that thing as a marksman weapon. the assault rifles at least have a high enough rate of fire and magazine capacity to make up for inaccuracy and be useful at range Improbable Lobster posted:Is the Eruptor a DMR version of the Dominator? it's more like a DMR version of a grenade launcher. not a lot of armor pen so you can't shoot hulk faces with it but it has a lot of splash and does a lot of damage

Sindai posted:Anyone else notice the momentum imparted by Eruptor explosions is negative or something? It sucks you towards the point of impact instead of throwing you away. I think it has blowback like the recoilless. Back right up to a wall and fire and you’ll get flung forward. I also killed a squadmate who was right behind me when I fired. It honestly feels like a bug to me, there’s nothing to indicate it should work that way.

Sindai posted:That is a cool loadout. How does the railgun do against gunships? Tbh I can't really say. The past few nights when I've been running this loadout I've gotten weirdly lucky and only run into like one gunship factory even running difficulty 9 exclusively. I'd imagine the build would admittedly struggle against gunships, so that might be something to rely on stratagems / teammates to handle.

Thermite testing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fka05oZu2G4 Summary: Almost everything the thermite does, impact grenade already does better. Except killing hulks and tanks from any angle, slowly, if you have no better option, which you probably do. They are really really bad against bugs though. I takes two to kill a brood commander.

Incidentally, the new defence mission type really plays to the recoilless rifle's strengths. Turrets and mines will clear out the light/medium chaff just fine, so you can focus on blasting heavies and dropships, and there's plenty of cover for when you need to duck back and reload. If you haven't given it a go, that's the ideal mission mode for it.

Dren posted:this sounds pretty fun Yeah, it's really flexible! Could swap it out for the Scorcher too probably, I haven't unlocked it yet so not sure. The AMR is a solid swap for the railgun too, I just like the charge-BLAM-reload cadence of the railgun.

Helldiver tower defense is way better than "30 seconds have passed, here's all 500 robots you need to kill at the same time."

I was checking each of the "Defend" priority planets in automaton territory and didnt see any of the extract valuable assets missions or whatever its called! It was obviously very easy to find the termicide control tower missions because like every mission on those planets included one.

I haven't used the thermite grenades at all but, like, they shouldn't even really be exploding much at all? They should just be doing a gently caress load of burning damage and/or maybe completely removing the armor of whatever area they hit.

See, here's what I think: you'll notice there's a port on the back of your standard issue Helldivers command helmet. I don't think any Helldiver actually attends basic training. I think they just play the tutorial simulation in your brain while you're already on ice. That's why you get to meet a live bug.

It doesn't even have to be the full stratagem - just initially deploying with the selected weapon would be "good enough" to be worthwhile.
