Oneiros posted:lv4 "challenging" is my floor but it is kinda fun dropping into super low level stuff. did you know there's an actual flag raising mission? Yeah 4 is where I like to chill, but it can swingy. Got quickmatched into the creek at 4, first mission was a bit of a snooze, second mission was utterly insane. Bots everywhere, hulks, a tank. Also I see why people are going on about the creek, fighting the automatons in the jungle was so much fun.

Time for some quality gaming journalism on new stratagems appearing stealthily in the wild.quote:Although it seems like there may not be much rhyme or reason as to why these new stratagems are suddenly appearing, it does make sense when reminded that Helldivers 2 has a Game Master who oversees how the overall battle is played. Although nothing by Arrowhead Game Studios has been officially confirmed, it may be a safe assumption to assume that the Game Master is potentially teasing new stratagems before releasing them to the entire player base. The sole gm is beta testing unreleased strategems.

Threw an eagle airstrike into the objective while the host was circling off to the side. Naturally, they change direction and run to the center. God it was beautiful watching the bombs march towards them, last one nailing them perfectly. Immediately kicked.

Darth Walrus posted:Tip for new divers - try to grab an autocannon as soon as you can. The handling sucks, so you'll want to crouch down for decent accuracy, and the blast radius is large enough that using it against enemies in melee range is suicide, but everything else is fantastic. It'll contribute solidly against every enemy type in the game, can destroy both bot and bug spawning buildings, the ammo per magazine is generous, the reload isn't even that slow when you're self-loading, and the backpack contains an obscene amount of extra ammo. It's just a really nice all-rounder support weapon to deal with anything your primary won't mow down. Auto cannon is love, autocannon is life. Also reload after you've shot five times but before you're fully out, it skips the cocking animation and is lightning fast. Rectal Death Alert posted:that drumstick shaped grey rock with silver lightning patterns on it There's also a more gooey version of this, but that's the shape. It appears on lower difficulties too, just without samples, so you can go and gawk at them. I think there's two to a map, on 7/8 only one of them has super samples, on hell dive both do. e: the auto cannon turret is loving amazing btw.

Worf posted:the stalwart shjould just be a baseline weapon imo It was in hell divers 1, dunno why they did it dirty by making it a call in here. Scrub-Niggurath posted:The arc thrower gets big points for essentially being a primary that's able to take on a charger 1v1 (slowly, but you don't really have to aim) while still efficiently dealing with medium bugs. Ever have the arc fire shoot but nothing happens? Fully charged shots just vanish into the ether, it seems to happen much more often when I'm above the target. DkHelmet posted:I'm loving baffled by how missions go sideways. Tonight I was playing with a buddy on 4, and in all three missions we hit a spot where it was patrol after patrol after patrol coming at us with no way to stop it. Ended up counting 5 chargers and a bile titan and their associated friends and family and just giving up after exhausting all of our strategems. Not dawdling or anything, not going out of our way to pick fights, but just on the way to the primary. I think maps have points on the edge where patrols can enter, if you have an objective near one of these points it's rough. It's also slow boiling a frog. Ah well, we can kill this one patrol and the adds. Oh another patrol. Oh another patrol and more adds. Oh boy another. hooray.

Darox posted:All I can tell from this is “don’t use first person and let the game give you the RNG free kill instead” and “shoot it from the side instead of dead on” I feel like I should've gotten a sick one/two shot kill from random chance by now. Looking back at footage, I can see clear misses or hitting armour at times, but I can also see shots that look like it hits one of the many zones people swear by. I see complaints that bile titans are incredible easy if the host is on a PS5, but if the host is on PC they're super tough, or that bugs hit harder on PS5, but then other people contradict that. All I know is I will keep on kiting then freedom bombing titans when it's off cooldown. e: one time it looked like my AC turret two-shot a titan as it was climbing out of the hole, and I was like drat bro way to show me up

atelier morgan posted:railgun still breaks charger leg armor but only if set to unsafe and overcharged, and usually three shots instead of two The flamethrower could already kill them very quickly if you focused on one limb.

I cannot believe the laser cannon can't just sweep the lil bug sentries off the field. It pops the little green spitters instantly and can pop bile spitter heads decently fast. Saw people saying it could penetrate and take the legs off chargers, but could not pen anything but the weak spots on a docile charger. I think they had the charging animation bug helping them out. Using it on a cold planet, it still couldn't fire long enough to make a dent in a bug breach though, so arc thrower/flamer it is.Turin Turambar posted:People really want to play CoD uh, where you kill everything fast and everything kills you fast too. People don't want to be dependent on their team in a game that's trying to require actual team work to succeed. They don't want I am weak but we are strong, they want I am strong but we are invincible. Meteor showers are a bit bleh. It gives you a periodical warning about incoming, and it's like the map is getting peppered with a lot of small aoe grenades at random. If you look straight up you can see a twinkle before impact, but if you're not looking up you're in God's hands. The shield bubble might be a good counter, but I didn't think to bring it. Also why did I never think about testing the deployable shield generator with mortars before now.

Dinosaurs! posted:The railgun felt appropriately powerful for needing to wait until level 20 to unlock. I feel like the bigger need, for bugs at least, was to do something about chargers. I play on PS5 and there’s no way I’m able to aim for the 10mm of exposed skin at its leg joint like that one goon was talking about a couple days ago. Getting headshots on bots is also not a given. I appreciate the PC players who can, but a lot of these changes feel like the result of crossplay discrepancies. With the rail gun you just straight up shot the armoured plate of the leg, not the joint, and it popped off after two hits revealing their tender drumstick. Now you have to use unsafe mode and charge your shot. turn off the TV posted:i don't know. the first one i fought with it died really quickly and then the second one took three full charges and killed me four times before i gave up and called in a mininuke There's a bug where after some charge animations, for a brief period, their leg armour doesn't work and any shot goes straight through. I tried the laser cannon on a stuck charger and it bounced off all the plates. E: chargers need to have their ice skating fixed and how they can do 180s near instantly.

Risky Bisquick posted:I tried a couple games with the railgun, the gun is no longer the king it once was. It doesn't strip armour reliably, it doesn't headshot reliably, so you're left whiffing shots being chased like you're on difficulty 4. Spend a bit more time with it to get used to overcharging. It can still put in a lot of work, it's just a bit harder than it was before.

Oh, that is why arc mains beeline for chargers. If you see an arc thrower going for that charger, get out of there, you're not helping by being nearby or drawing aggro (assuming they are competent). Arc thrower is actually insane against bugs. Only brood commanders survive long enough to alert, so they get the slugger from a distance, then it's arcing time. I saw a leak that there is upcoming armours with 95% resist to arc thrower damage, as well as a one shot grenade launcher pistol with ~8 rounds total for hives.  e: it's surprisingly good against bots too, it usually clears up the chaff before they can alert, about the only common enemy it sucks against is the strider.
