Victory poses will now only play for the extracted. (No stolen valor on my ship.)

Enemy Patrols Balancing adjustment to patrol spawning. Patrol spawning has been increased when there are fewer than 4 players. The fewer the players the bigger the change. For 4 player missions there will be no change compared to before.The biggest noticeable change will be for solo players at higher difficulties. 🎮 Gameplay Made minor level generation improvements to how we distribute locations throughout the mission map. This should improve variation in distance between objectives, and objectives will likely not spawn as far away from each other as often as before. Added setting in the options menu gameplay section to disable automatic climbing and vaulting while sprinting. The Spread Democracy mission otherwise known as “raise the flag” can now be enjoyed on higher difficulties for maximum freedom spreading. When readying up, Helldivers now salute to ensure maximum democratic readiness. Added ambience to the Tremor planetary hazard to underline the severity so Helldivers can react accordingly Shots that ricochet from heavy armored enemies will now properly hit the Helldiver who fired them. Trigger discipline is highly recommended. 🔧 Fixes Crash Fixes. Fixed crash that could occur when host abandoned mission with squad.

Secondary weapon no longer remains in the Ballistic Shield ADS position after using a stim with the Ballistic Shield Backpack equipped. "Open Text Chat" is now rebindable. Explosive weapons such as R-36 Eruptor, CB-9 Exploding Crossbow. GP-31 Grenade Pistol no longer pulls players inward from the blast. Disabled the squad invites during the tutorial which caused an overlap in the UI. Fixed Primary and Secondary weapons overlapping on the character model in the armory.

Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location. Explosions do not break your limbs (except for when you fly into a rock). Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the Hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower. Planet liberation reaches 100% at the end of every Defend mission. raverrn fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Apr 29, 2024 |

Honestly that's....a lot less than I was expecting for some of the weapon buffs. I guess the Diligence CS will feel good if it can now headshot devastators at a reasonable range. Poor Scythe though. Unfortunately spear fixes didn't make it in, but at least the Senator is now my forever secondary.

lmao at a 14 second cooldown on Queso. It didn't need that. Not accidentally climbing on top of the resupply pod every time I sprint into it is going to be nice, at least. Sindai posted:Poor Scythe though. How so? It got a decent buff, I thought. Mag count barely matters for it.

For reference the Sickle (at ~690) now does slightly less than double that DPS, instead of the slightly more it did before. 500 DPS for the Scythe and 300 for the Dagger probably still wouldn't be overpowered.

Sindai posted:At 350 damage it's still in contention for the lowest DPS primary in the game. I tried using it again the other day since there's that one guy in the thread who insists it's good against bugs. That was a mistake. It was awful. Yeah, against the bugs it's a recipe for being eaten by hunters. I've actually had some good outings with it against bots recently, as it's pretty nice for burning devastator heads, so some more damage will make it even better there.

That depends a lot on just how much better scout striders are at resisting explosives. If it no longer easily one shots them AMR actually kind of dethrones it since you can leg them with one shot.

Your Brain on Hugs posted:Supposedly there's a hotfix coming later this week which has spear and DoT fixes in it. Both fixes would be very good for expanding grenade and AT weapon choices. Spear needs fixes bad (presumably targeting?) and I really, really want to use my burny nade selection when I'm not the host. I actually forgot about the spear entirely when I said the RR is the only bad AT choice. The spear is worse than the RR as it stands.

I don't wanna go off completely before I've even played the new patch, but wtf are they doing? I'd been giving them the benefit of the doubt but I'm starting to seriously think they have no idea about how to balance this game. More insanely overzealous nerfs to some of the only viable weapons, and incredibly tepid buffs to dogshit tier stuff. And they are nerfing fire dots while the dot bug is still unfixed? Like what is the rationale behind nerfing the exploding xbow lmao?? Edit: also this change: Patrol spawning has been increased when there are fewer than 4 players. The fewer the players the bigger the change. For 4 player missions there will be no change compared to before.The biggest noticeable change will be for solo players at higher difficulties. Not sure what exactly this will look like, but if I'm reading it right just why??? The game is already way harder the less people you have, why tf would you make it MORE difficult to play solo?

Yeah after some practice it actually wasn't too hard to just kinda Mk.I Eyeball it with the HMG without ADSing. Getting the 3rd person reticle is still a welcome change, but at this point I honestly would've liked a buff to its handling or ammo capacity even more.

From playing a few missions: The Diligence CS feels really good. I don't know if it's top tier, but the aimdrag almost makes it a better weapon? Like turning down your mouse speed for precision. It one-hits Devastator heads with good accuracy and plenty of ammo, and can sub as a CC weapon in a pinch. The Senator is very nice as well. Speedload is about 2 seconds, the damage is noticeable against small targets (who sometime survive and now do so less) and against melee threats like Berserkers. The Airburst feels like it has a niche as a do-it-all support. It'll reliably snipe holes or fabs, will less-but-not-that-much kill Hulks from the front. Tanks and turrets are a little worse off, but it shines softening up groups, especially things like Devastators or Striders. It can also down Gunships, a real all-comers kind of weapon.

Quasar still seems like it's good, you'll just need to use your primary a bit longer and hope your teammates are firing their own at the chargers and titans you can't get on cooldown, it's still a backpackless anti-everything with no ammo concerns. More reason to call a second quasar down at extract or area you need to hold.

Reducing the extra magazines on the infinite ammo gun sure was a way to nerf the sickle though. How's the new railgun penetration feel? can it damage a charger without almost exploding? Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 12:15 on Apr 29, 2024 |

bandaid.friend posted:Unsure why it needed this as the gun was already pretty good. But I'll take it I guess It got buffed, aside the ammo adjustment which were a pretty universal thing. Faster speed = easier to lead and hit targets Decreased damage falloff = shots retain more damage in the explosion the further away they are from the center, so aim is less important/better wave clear Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Reducing the extra magazines on the infinite ammo gun sure was a way to nerf the sickle though. it's fair. People basically treated it like a better liberator and just reloaded like normal, so now you have to have some thought into making sure you don't overheat too much

Ouroboros posted:I don't wanna go off completely before I've even played the new patch, but wtf are they doing? I'd been giving them the benefit of the doubt but I'm starting to seriously think they have no idea about how to balance this game. More insanely overzealous nerfs to some of the only viable weapons, and incredibly tepid buffs to dogshit tier stuff. And they are nerfing fire dots while the dot bug is still unfixed? It kinda goes against the whole fabric of the game, gunplay, etc when you have a version of the game where you just stealth around the map picking and choosing your targets Solid Snake style. I mean it's do-able - maybe not now - but it obviously isn't what was intended or built to be. In my experience it's easy enough to join a random 3-4 person team on demand when my mates aren't around. People who "don't want to play with randoms" probably bought the wrong game to be honest, if their friends aren't as into it or as available as they are.
