It would be fun if completing missions in a campaign modified later missions. Launch an icbm? Next mission has less enemies but half the map is radioactive. Complete a blitz? Next map has 2/3 the spawn bases but 1.25 the patrols It'd be fun and would let you strategize on which mission type to pick first some times Its by no means necessary but its a fun idea

When did they fix the iron sights for the Senator in first person mode? It's so much easier to hit things with it now.  If they ever make a lever gun, I'd have to do a cowboy build. Previous game did port in space versions of old guns so there might be a hope.

Funny enough I did a throwback kit and it's surprisingly effective. OG AR, Senator, (Strata-weapon of choice) plus Orbital strike, Airstrike, Strafing run. Having some upgrades on my ship makes the Stratagems considerably more effective and the OG Autorifle is STILL a solid primary.

Secret tip for extra cool helldivers: if you actually reliably hit them, good 'ol basic "orbital precision strike" kills tanks just as well as orbital railcannon(maybe slightly higher damage, actually), except it has a bit of splash radius and less than half the cooldown.

Have you tried making eagle airstrike work against bile titans? It seems like use would be almost same as 500kg. Aggro, turn 90°, throw at ground, bait, dodge perpendicular to eagle. Bit harder to use but you get three instead of 2.

Astroniomix posted:It's not a bug (if anything it's a bug fix) but wasn't playtested at all, the range shrapnel can travel from the point of impact is significant and the shards do a shitload of damage. Prior to this patch you couldn't take damage from your own projectiles, only from explosions/fire. So in reality this gun should have been killing us on firing it but no friendly fire from your own bullets means it didn't. That's amazing

Video Nasty posted:Fell into a hole in the geometry and the only way out was grenading myself On that exact map earlier this morning I ended up hell diving in and landed on a mutant egg with another dude and we got stuck in the egg and had to kill ourselves to get out. Well, he killed me with a grenade and freed me.

I got ragdolled into the hole in a stalker nest. Interestingly I wasn't dead and shooting my grenade pistol destroyed the hole and the nest. The second one killed me, but it was interesting that I didn't die automatically.

The new TCS maps have some big holes in them. I got stuck down one with no grenades and the eagle wouldn't hit me in there. Eventually I was able to drop a set of EATs on the edge, barely able to shoot the pod to break it, and one luckily dropped into the pit so I could blow myself up.

Playing some more tonight, I feel like the Eruptor just has a 1% chance to kill you every time you fire from any range. The shrapnel just needs the right RNG to instakill you on each shot. It was what killed me the most, and I've been using Eruptor for weeks, so I have some idea of how to be safe with it and minimum ranges.

In the same camp of fixes that suck, I just got out of a squad wipe mission on a low-vis mission at night and those fuckers are now completely undetectable until they're 'nothing personal kid'ing you in the back. By all means improve the camo, but give me some other way to tell that one is about to attack. Audio cues would be super cool

Stalkers are loving insane now. Did they up the number alive at a time too? I swear we had 6 on us at once at one point and I don't recall seeing more than 2 at once in the past. Me and Another guy were able to close the nest but it was by far the hardest part of the mission.

No, you could definitely have 6 out a time previously, especially if the stalker nest had two big holes (two stalker holes) instead of having one.

You can have up to 8 stalkers at once from a single double hole stalker nest, I've complained about it a couple times here. You need a lot of firepower to make it through to the nest, but you can normally just toss a 500kg / Eagle AS over the wall and both holes go boom. In atmospheric spores and with a spore spewer up, it gets kind of dicey because they appear right in front of you.

Before it was very unusual to actually max out on stalkers since they were so easy to track and kill at range after retreating. Not so much now! I love it.

Man I knew it shouldn’t have looked but boy howdy is Reddit having a meltdown over the Queso nerf, like people straight up posting “how do they expect us to do 9’s now?”. The same way you did before? Fling eats around like they are party candy and don’t get bogged down fighting bug breaches next to a POI that only has ammo and grenades?

Now that it works properly, the cluster rocket launcher is so much fun to use, at least against buggs. Guessing its damage is just too unreliable to take out high level Devestator swarms.

Quesadivers, I get it, but you really need to try out some other, funner, options Things that can fill that queso sized heart: EATS RR Laser cannon, weirdly enough Railgun now, supposedly? And if you love fun, you can always bring a senator and have a good time

I want to hear from someone who likes it what the liberator concussive is good for now. I like the feel of a low RPM automatic but it's still competing with the Scythe when it comes to DPS and doesn't have its precision. Maybe if you're always sticking with your team so you suppress medium enemies while they kill them? Unfortunately it did not seem to stop nursing spewers from spitting.

But I can't seem to get it to work. Is this an unimplemented feature? Would be cool to get rid of the HUD like they do in photo modes.

These new bug missions are so absurdly easy that I'm willing to speculate the termicide was actually working and the reason the bugs were building these big pillars was to move it away from them, and we're going to find out we deactivated them just in time to allow the creation of some super bug like the hive lord

I'm not sure if I'm just imagining things, but I think there are more Hive Lord skeletons around than there used to be, and recently I started seeing something that looks like a big eel worm shed snakeskin that I don't think was always in the maps.

I went back to EATs for a bit but I don't like having to remember to call them constantly and run back to get to the second one. Quasar plus stun grenades means see a charger? Charger dead. Bile titans are a little more annoying with the cooldown increase but still can't see myself taking anything else. It would be novel if I felt like I could take anything but an anti heavy armour support for bugs but I guess that makes the difference in factions more pronounced. Bots you don't need heavy armour support but instead something that can do mediums and hulks quickly, of which the AC is superior. Maybe the 3rd faction will need a totally different loadout priority, I sure hope so.

Rhymenoserous posted:Man I knew it shouldn’t have looked but boy howdy is Reddit having a meltdown over the Queso nerf, like people straight up posting “how do they expect us to do 9’s now?”. hell, the new quasar is still more than good enough for 9s. It's not a clear winner over RR/EATs anymore but being able to pop a charger every 15seconds or kill a spore spewer/titan/shrieker nest in 17seconds is nothing to sneeze at. I feel this way about pretty much every weapon nerf though, pretty much every single weapon has valid use cases now and there are no big stinkers except maybe the crossbow. Nothing feels overpowered anymore. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 06:31 on May 1, 2024 |

The crossbow is great against bots now. It would probably feel good against bugs if it's a spewer map, but no way to know in advance. I wish spewers were always mixed in instead of being all or nothing. Sindai fucked around with this message at 06:41 on May 1, 2024 |
