During a really quiet extract (haven't they all been kinda quiet lately?) i was lying prone about five feet away from a teammate who was also prone and facing the same direction. i fired my eruptor toward a mountain hillside at nothing in particular and he exploded and died instantly. Fun!

Did a quiet solo easy to get the last 30 SC I needed to unlock the new warbond. Took some toys along to try some things. I was told the Quasar kills fabricators, but I was stood in front of one firing at it repeatedly and couldn't do a goddamn thing. I tried the vents, I tried the sides, nothing happening at all. Never taking it again, the autocannon doesn't let me down like this. Got the new marksman rifle and it's a worse version of the liberator penetrator. I tried it in both semi and full auto, crouched and zoomed, but the bullet spread and recoil makes it utterly worthless. I've been rocking the counter sniper recently as it is good enough to one-shot most smaller bots with a careful shot and suddenly I'm on a gun where it needs several shots and the burst of fire scatters so much that you don't get enough hits to drop even a trash mob. Just worthless, never taking it again. And I just found out the hard way that the trophy for getting to max level on a ship module now requires the new max level, not the old one, so yeah I need to save up a ton of samples and get that done before they put in a tier 5 option.

Sindai posted:The riot shield is pretty good now. You're immune to gunfire and mostly immune to explosives in the direction it's facing. Rockets will make you ragdoll a bit but won't knock it out of your hands. Oh interesting about the drop. I mean if you can block explosives you should be fine, it's mainly for automatons anyway and they smack you off into the air like chargers. Might try it but I also find the quasar too strong, the anti material is also op in group setting. Quasar for solo runs or duos.

Dropped in to play this after not really having touched it for more than a couple hours and drat, this games really good. I've just been playing with Randos, but so far it's avoided being a toxic mess. All things considered, I'm shocked that's the case with all the team damage this game can bring forward

There is no toxicity, I have seen maybe 1 player grief on purpose in like 60 hours +. If you are new just be careful with your strategems, lots of new players panic and call strikes near their allies. If you do it too many times to the host you might get kicked. Other than that I have never anyone push meta builds or anything, if you are playing on high difficulty people will try to optimize but no one forces you to pick a build. Alot of the toxicity was outside of the game directed at the devs because the devs kept nerfing poo poo in the initial patches and not lowering difficulty on higher levels. But in the last few patches they have done more buffs than nerfs.

Durzel posted:I tried the crossbow expecting greatness but was underwhelmed, but I was coming from the Eruptor which I think is really good if you can aim. ohhh poo poo, that's why I wasn't too stoked with it lol I think I said this before, but a big part of why I love the Sickle so much is that it's the great equalizer for aimspeed. That extra half-second before it starts firing gives me enough time to get my crosshairs on target, so even Johnny Counterstrike with his 0.2ms aimspeed isn't getting his bullets out any faster or more accurately than I can.

I don't think the new AR/DMR is as bad as people are claiming (Arc Shotty would like some words), but it's certainly not as good as the Eruptor. Taking the armor set that's available with it at T1 of the warbond (it has Recoil Reduction + More Grenades), I find the recoil on full auto to be very manageable on controller when crouching with the real major drawback being the clip size. In that scenario, it has some big advantages over the Liberator Penetrator (it deals a lot more damage per shot at a higher RoF) and the other AMRs (much, much higher DPS), which helps it to really chew through Devastators. The big issue is that in order to really shine, it really wants you to be crouching in recoil reduction armor. This isn't anything new for people who like MGs, but it is pretty annoying as none of the other new primaries demand a specific armor perk to have one of its modes be more usable. It really wants to be full-auto though, as its single-shot performance is decidedly lacking compared to pretty much everything else. Against bugs, I see it being really good for taking down Hive Guard in no time flat. Those bugs are really annoying to have to deal with when you're lacking in medium pen weapons.

PSA: If you need some super samples and can only stand touching the pubbie stove for a few minutes, look for level 7/8/9 Blitz missions. Blitzes have a very simple primary objective (blow up X bug hives / fabricators), on a shortened time frame (12 minutes), but the map still spawns the super samples. Eradicate and high-value defense modes don't spawn the super samples. So far, it's been easy as hell to drop on a struggling pubbie bunch, immediately hit da bricks to another part of the map, and search for Dingus Rock while closing a few hives/fabricators. Though you don't need to successfully complete the primary objective for the pelican to come in, it's a pretty good idea as 7s/8s can get a little nuts on extraction without strategem help. And even if the pubbies are stupid and call in extraction before the choulder has been spotted, the map is small enough that you still have a minute to look around.

Depending on the landscape, certain fabricators can be difficult or impossible to destroy with the Quasar. You need higher ground, or if the terrain is flat you need a very long line of sight to get the right angle for the kill. If the fabricator is on a hill, don't bother. That's what orbitals/airstrikes/teammates are for.

w00tmonger posted:Dropped in to play this after not really having touched it for more than a couple hours and drat, this games really good. Toxicity is often inversely proportional to the amount of reinforcements left. Like the 15 minute escort mission. One of the weird things is lower level players killing you for your stuff. Higher level toxicity is people spamming reinforcement while you’re surrounded then yelling about dropping in the mobs. With mics you can run into a “too many cooks” situation where some guy is telling you to do things you are already doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9BdI-jB8xc

New Ship Modules adding a much steeper sample grind has been universally good imo, so many players are actually bothering to collect samples again! A lot of the T4 modules are also not nearly as meta-defining as things like the T3 Eagle giving you an extra run for every Eagle strat before needing to reload, but they do make the things you really like better. Case in point, I took T4 Orbital Guns and now I can't stop taking 120mm+380mm artillery barrages in every bot mission. The decreased spread makes them much, much more reliable at taking out bases (especially the 380mm) and you can even take a very spread-out heavy base with both. Probably going to grind up for the Arc Projector+Tesla Tower one next because an extra bounce = extra fun (although I really need to get better at Tower placement, as Towers tend to hunger for Helldivers). Parkingtigers posted:Autocannon supremacy remains unchallenged. Eruptor would like to have a word with you - it's a primary and you don't even need to figure out angles or go through a learning curve, just shoot the hole and poof goes the fabricator.

The issue with the T4 ship modules isn't the total cost, it's that the rares cost is ridiculously high compared to anything else and to their cap. With 1-3 greens were overrepresented and now nothing but oranges has any value.

This was becoming a big issue in games with higher level players (including most goon games I've joined). Everyone was maxed out, so they didn't care about grabbing samples. I'm only level 24, and my normal co-op gaming crew's comfort level tends to be around difficulty 4-5, so I have almost no super samples.

I genuinely think the new ship upgrades are meant to be a long-term incentive for players that you're not really meant to grind for, same with the new bonkers high level cap. They aren't as impactful as some of the earlier upgrades and, as the other honourable poster mentioned, it'll mean more higher level players will bother with collecting samples again, helping newbies get their unlocks.
