I was just repeating what I heard, but after confirming it ingame it definitely drops a regular bomb right on the beacon. Since it's just one bomb you really gotta land it on top of what you want to blow up though.

That's very strange but honestly very useful; if you're actually able to land your beacons on the target you want dead, then that means you can use Eagle Clusters or Napalm (:v) against bots effectively since one usually takes Airstrike against them because only Airstrike bombs can pop fabricators

Baiard posted:lmao apparently the new eagle upgrade causes cluster bomb to drop an extra regular airstrike bomb, so now clusters can destroy fabricators You can do it even without this upgrade but it's very conditional - you have to have the fab to your right (with the vents towards you), and drop the cluster ball right in front of it. Most of the time that'll still nail the fab with clusters. Edit: Erupter is cool and good https://i.imgur.com/2gZoQNk.mp4 Fishstick fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Apr 13, 2024 |

Just got this to see what all the fuss is about and because I love democracy. Any advice for what should I be doing as far as progression/unlocks? I think the game's tutorial is really engaging and effective at teaching you the controls and basic mechanics but then it tosses you into the game with like four different currencies and a bunch of options with no real guidance on what you should be doing besides the Orders. I have managed to have zero experience playing any modern multiplayer stuff in the last decade besides like phone games and Monster Hunter so maybe that's why the unlocks and the warbonds feel so alien to me.

Grenade Launcher + Backpack are good early game unlocks for strategies - they'll also help you punch above your weight for joining higher difficulty crews Expendable Anti-Tank allows you to take out big enemies (Aim for the heads) Gatling Sentry and one of the cheap Eagle Strikes are also good utilities You'll basically accumulate medals to buy items in war bonds over time.

I think the game's tutorial is really engaging and effective at teaching you the controls and basic mechanics but then it tosses you into the game with like four different currencies and a bunch of options with no real guidance on what you should be doing besides the Orders. Get the top ship module first, the one that deploys support weapons with full ammo. Get the Eagle Airstrike, it's good at every level of the game. Stalwart is a great support weapon you can use as a primary against bugs. Autocannon is a great support weapon you can use as a primary against bots. EATs are a brilliant second support weapon you can take to just spam across the battlefield to tackle all of the bigger enemies. Oh, and get the Redeemer autopistol ASAP as it's a direct upgrade from your starter sidearm. Other than that, just run a few level 1s and 2s solo to test out guns and strategems, and learn to use the minimap to scour around looking for "points of interest" to get super credits and common samples, then dive into missions with a full crew. Start small, and work up in level until it feels right and stay there. Bots are tricky until you hit level 10 as you need some guns/strategems that have a bit more punch and you literally can't get the Autocannon (best weapon in the game, anyone who tells you otherwise is a traitor to democracy) until then. So maybe start with bugs, learn the ropes that way, and then move to the bot front once you feel confident with your weapons. Edit: and to answer the point on currencies: Requisition slips are used to buy the strategems. You'll get these doing basically anything, so don't worry about farming them. XP you'll get by doing anything, so ditto. Some strategems are only available to buy at certain levels, but it's a small curve and after level 20 there's only the mech at 25 being gated. Medals you use to buy the guns and toys in the warbonds. You'll get these by doing missions, completing personal orders, and major orders. Super credits you'll use to buy the premium warbonds. You get like 700 in the basic warbond, and you can find them at points of interest. You'll get them basically as fast as you buy the premium warbonds and unlock the stuff in them, just basically remember to check all the POIs in case you can get some freebies. Samples are the only thing you need to actively give a poo poo about. These are used to upgrade the ship modules for permanent bonuses. You can only find these on the planet surface, and you need to find them and get them onto the extraction ship. Or rather, any member of the fireteam needs to get them onto the extraction ship. This is the real challenge of the game, because the extraction shuttle isn't for you, it's for your samples. Picking up the ones a dead helldiver dropped is essential because the whole team gets them so long as they are on the shuttle. Parkingtigers fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Apr 13, 2024 |

Requisition slips and medals can be found at some points of interest in the field, and you'll earn them gradually just by doing missions. You can also find tiny amounts of the super credits instead of buying them with real money. If you don't already have a hand grenade to help destroy bug holes and bot factories, get one from the first page of the Helldivers Mobilize warbond ASAP. Samples are the biggest pain in the rear end. Getting lots means clearing out every enemy base, scouring the map for PoIs, and getting out alive. They're used for ship modules, which improve your stratagems but don't unlock anything new. Farming samples comes easier with practice but don't worry about them too much if you're just starting out. Once you do get a bunch, the Donation Access License is a big upgrade, alongside the Eagle and sentry upgrades.

imo it would be cool if those difficulty modifiers were tied to side objectives on the planet you could complete in order to disable them like maybe there could be AA guns on the map you could destroy to disable the AA effect or some kind of satellite thing you could enable/raise in order to bypass the orbital fluctuations. would be neat if stuff like that was in the game imo

If they aren't doing armor tinting and customization I'd love to see a bit more color alignment. They've got several different tans and greens that don't match (the scout green and medic green being different works for me but the light fortified armor doesn't match anything) and the reds and oranges are also off from everything. It makes matching armor to helmets harder. I think the medical armors are nice designs. The color scheming is good and the whites look great, and all of the +stim armors are clearly identifiable in terms of armor class and effect. Same with the scout armors, but the rest are all over the place with different oranges and tans and poo poo

Stratagem idea: Eagle Fighter Sweep 2 second call down, 1 or 2 calls per re-arm, lingers for maybe 45 seconds and dumps missiles into anything flying. I don’t want an I win butting against bot gunships, but it would be cool to maybe get a little bit of breathing room every once in a while

Back to Bot vs Bug difficulty discussion, but it is pretty crazy how much worse the Bot secondary objectives and modifiers are Bugs have: -atmospheric spores. Oh no, radar is less usefull. -stalker lairs. Actually kind of dangerous, but are getting power crept, especially by the eruptor -spore towers. Make things hard to see... half the planets have enviroments that aren't much worse for visibility. Also can be destroyed from across the map by literally anything -shrieker towers. Pretty dangerous, but can be destroyed at range. -one of their most dangerous units (spitters) doesn't even show up half the time Bots have: -AA defenses. Minus a whole strategem slot! -detector towers -strategem jammers -mortars -anti air emplacements -cannon towers -mines -gunships, which are more dangerous than shriekers and can only be destroyed by hellbombs -command bunkers which can shoot back/even one shot. Like at high difficulties the bots will even start fortifying POIs, with mines and towers. Terminids just don't have the same 'this is a loving death trap' feel. Maybe if they got more static defenses, or if spore spewers did a low amount of damage over time or something and got more armour

Lobok posted:I only agree with not doing transmog because you can look at someone's armour and see what the armour actually is/does. I agree with the developers that you shouldn't be able to exchange armor properties. The big beefy bomb squad armor should not give you the stealthy sprinting buffs. However they really should let you change the color of your equipment. Also they need to balance it better so there's some reason to take heavy armor. Nearly everyone I see on the higher levels is running some kind of light armor.

Granted most one hit rocket deaths are gone it’s definitely noticeable how much worse it is. And the bug players who come to bot 8/9s with incendiary breaker and weird loadouts that don’t work on bots does no favours. Having two randoms somehow use 22 reinforcements when me and a buddy used 2 on bots is ludicrous.
