I saw a really fun post which was like “my mass-produced by indentured servant third-class pre-citizens disposable rifle which I took down onto a fire tornado planet while riding in a bullet I got into after 5 minutes of training has slightly misaligned sights!” Everything hosed about the game should be kept and explained as part of the world. Oh the lever on the oil control system isn’t working and you can’t complete the mission? Tough poo poo should have thought of that before you dropped a 500 kg bomb 10 meters away from it now evac in disgrace.

tfw you drop into a pubbie mission on quick play, and the mission has been running for 20 minutes and they have not completed a single objective and they're down to 2 reinforcements left  wtf were they doing??i completed the entire mission myself. i'd call one of the others in as the reinforcements reloaded, and he would immediately run off to shoot at some patrol and die in 45 seconds, and it'd be back to just me sneaking around actually DOING THE FUCKIN JOB. goddamned casuals.

Me and my kid did a duo where we ended up dropping RIGHT outside a heavy nest + Stalker nest + Shrieker nest and both died 3 times before we got clear enough to take a breath. Did fine after that point, but it was a rough start for sure. Personally I LOVE the vibe the game gives. Yeah, the "Totally Democratic and not Evil" government wants me to fund my own ships upgrades which basically amount to "Lets ignore OSHA!". Yeah, they want me to purchase usage rights for new weaponry that way or not be useful. Yeah, some missions are basically just "Go kill things for oil". Embrace the poorly funded and trained cog in the corrupt machine that you are.

Tbh you can't really go too wrong at the moment, all of them have at least 2 really good things. Steeled Veteran has the Incendiary Breaker and Dominator Cutting Edge has stun grenades and the Sickle Detonation has the grenade pistol and Eruptor

The crossbow is actually really cool if you know to use it like a demoman grenade launcher and not like an ADS sniper gun. Just flick shots in third person. Whatever your grenade arc intuition is, it will probably work just firing the crossbow without holding right mouse button. e: The crossbow is a primary version of the grenade launcher. I think that's the best way to describe it. Reiley fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Apr 20, 2024 |

If you think you'll ever like the game enough to buy the super citizen upgrade, you'll get steeled veterans with it, so don't spend your super credits on that one if you'd ever consider that. I'd recommend Cutting Edge for the Sickle, since it's very strong everywhere. The Eruptor is satisfying, but a bit more niche.

I actually had a pretty good time with the Adjudicator tonight, difficulty 9, against bots. I was using the light armor with engineering kit from that same battlepass, and as long as I found cover and crouched before firing (full auto mode, mostly in bursts), I could take out light and medium bots pretty effectively, and deal with those scout walkers in ways lighter ARs couldn't. A real stick and move approach. I doubt it works as well against bugs, mind, but I had fun.

It's time for an update to everyone's "Legit" Business strats! As I suspected, if you add additional group members, they can farm your "exhausted seed." So if you have a good one, 3 people can hop in, and loot your farm. Everyone still benefits! I do not know what happens if you run it 2x, but it might be a situation where the group can rotate through what specific drops they take off the map. Or you just need to cycle through a bunch of players and everyone gets a little taste. Again, I feel that this is yet another (and this time even more on the nose, yeesh) allegory for capitalism.

I maintain that it could use an extra spare magazine or two because 6+1 magazines of 25 is... not very much but the gun itself (stats and characteristics-wise) I think is perfectly fine. Good, even, so long as you use it properly.

was carrying quasar w/ the breaker spray and pray thinking it would be the nice pairing but apparently the spray and pray's bullets don't penetrate spewers, which means its much harder to kill the middle-tier of bugs. :|Ravenfood posted:No. Both are support weapons. The closest you could do is a GL and use EATs for when you need heavier firepower, but you would need to remember to pick up your GL again before running off. thanks i didn't know that's how you tell Risky Bisquick posted:This is the usual SOS random pubbie game experience, you get used to it.

Apple Craft posted:Is there a lore explanation for who "we" are? Not the helldivers, but the 4th wall player entity controlling them? I'm not sure if I am articulating this very well, but each new helldiver spawns with the exact armor, weapon loadout, emotes that we chose and we play as them regardless of how many die. Yet, these are supposed to be different people who volunteered, and not clones. So are we just meta, "lol vidyagames", or is there any in-game explanation for it? The helldivers contract says after you die the next helldiver inherits the stuff you bought

Does anyone else have a consistent issue with being randomly taken out of zoomed in view with pretty much every weapon? I can't seem to hold the zoomed in view without the game randomly forcing me back into 3rd person mode, sometimes spastically. Part of me thinks maybe my right mouse button is giving out but I've only ever noticed it in this game.

Had a really weird experience with the rocket defense tonight, I wonder if the difficulty settings for that mission type might be borked. First time I dropped on it, the game just wouldn't stop spawning Bile Titans - like there was a literal horde of them, along with chargers and all the other low-mid tier bug units. We got completely overwhelmed and the mission got scrapped before the third rocket even fired. Second time was a complete joke. Almost entirely low-tier units and virtually nothing else; half of them ran towards the walls outside the extract point and sat there while we shot them like fish in a barrel. Only 1 Bile Titan spawned for the entire mission and I don't think I saw any chargers either.
