Legitimately I think the only change the railgun needs is getting rid of safe/unsafe mode. I firmly believe that people are more down on it than it deserves because of people dropping in with one, trying it out for a bit, and then going "well this sucks" and dropping it. I can't think of any other gun where the default firing mode is so bad. I think with that small change the gun becomes fine. Definitely not OP but perfectly usable like the flamethrower or LMG

After the additions to the game that have come since the nerfs took place, I think they should just revert the railgun and slugger to their original forms. The impact to balance would be negligible.

    Everything's so on fire that the Automatons are taking their time to dunk on random isolated sectors, because they don't even need to bother aiming the full force of the Reclamation Fleet directly towards Super Earth. (Although I saw a suggestion that this might be them taking the long way back to the Creek based on the implementation of additional supply lines.)

Black Noise posted:Why isn’t this info available in game? This is more rhetorical. But they also have that thing like Discord info from regarding the taking of Martale. If you pull up the supply line display on Helldivers.io, it is very obviously still a work in progress and they probably don't want to pull back the curtain too much until they're ready to commit to more dynamically evolving warfronts. Note that its also impossible for us to fail since there's no supply connections anywhere back to Super Earth. The current setup is smoke and mirrors with a scripted narrative managed by the devs, which is why we currently have an impossible order to defend 10 planets so we don't advance too quickly; we can only really go where they want us to go right now and supply line connections are usually* irrelevant for that. *(Usually - there was the whole Tibit debacle a while back, but "LIBERATE MALEVELON CREEK!" smoothed that over pretty quick).

We have shown that we can overwhelm what they think are long goals fairly quickly. They pretty much have to give us impossible missions, or missions that end up being red herrings, in order to control our progress and reveal the storyline they have planned.

Hearing the female Helldiver's delivery of "Sweet liberty, MUHH LEEEEGG" makes me laugh every time. It has the perfect amount of B-movie cheese and it's the best line in the game because of it (imo).

Railgun unsafe mode should simply charge faster. Higher shot powerup speed but tighter window playing chicken with the death zone if you are charging for max damage. It's a single shot weapon so it's not gonna break its DPS or anything.

Then, go into your Discord app and join a voice channel. You should get the option to transfer the audio to your PS5 headset.

If so, you can link it to your PS5 through Settings > Users and Accounts > Linked Services. Then in the Discord server, if you click on any of the voice chat channels there is then an option (I have to swipe up the menu on my phone) to transfer to your PS5 so you can be in the voice chat but use whatever your audio/mic setup is for the console. Actually playing the game requires linking up with them in the game's Social menu. Either you already have them as friends or you can share each other's temporary friend codes generated from the same menu and add each other and invite each other into a game, depending on who the host is. (The codes are temporary I mean, the friends are for life  )

Sickle and autocannon are an extremely good combo. Sickle mops up all the small bugs with its rapid fire and infinite ammo, autocannon pops medium ones with 2 or 3 shots. My usual bug loadout is: Sickle Auto pistol (emergency GTFO weapon) Incendiary grenades (great for bug breaches) Autocannon EAT Gatling sentry (anti shrieker and creating breathing room) Eagle cluster (softening up big swarms) With that setup you can handle basically any situation yourself except for large hordes of chargers and bile titans. In those cases while waiting for the EATs to recharge you have to dodge the chargers and autocannon them in the butt, and shoot out the titan acid sacs and kite them around for a while. Or just be good at your role of cleaning up light and medium bugs and closing holes, and leave the heavies to the people who brought quasars and 500s and rail cannons.

Eagle Airstrike with stun grenades is S tier for bots. Can easily wipe a patrol of a Hulk and a bunch of devs/beserkers. Plus, Eagle Airstrike can oneshot a Factory Strider. Orbital Precision strike owns too. Having it with Eagle Airstrike allows you to singlehandedly decimate a double bot drop right as they are dropped and are still clustered. Someone was asking about battle passes and I think cutting edge for sickle & stun grenade vs bots and steeled veterans for incendiary breaker vs bugs are the two to get.

You absolutely don't need much anti-heavy against bugs. On 8s and 9s a few orbitals/airstrikes throughout the squad and a single quasar is enough to end all titans unless you get the rare "hella titans" spawn pool that sends 3 out of every breach. Chargers are just kind of a joke, they're the least threatening enemies in the game unless you don't see them coming - all you need to do to avoid them is sprint towards them and move to the left/right when you get close and they charge right past you like an angry bull. It's also a whole lot easier to kill chargers by shooting their butt than most people realize, most guns can pop it after avoiding two charges. My preferred loadout for bugs these days is breaker incendiary, supply pack, no support weapon, orbital laser + rail cannon and 500kg. It has answers to threats of every size. The only downside is it can't snipe nests. You can swap one of the orbitals for quasar if you really want but it's just not at all necessary for bugs.
