canonically what happens when your helldiver dies? are they defrosting clones in the ship or is it just the next recruit in line?

i once saw two dropships spawn for some reason and they clipped through each other as we were extracting and killed everyone inside

still counted as a successful extraction though!

game ran pretty smoothly for me tonight, matchmaking mostly worked and rewards registered correctly

the only problem was my third charger wouldn't register for the daily challenge no matter how many of the fuckers i killed

Finally played last night, fun game. It really does play like the first one but with a different point of view. My daily challenge thing was to kill 20 scouts and I didn't manage a single one, is there any easy way to find out what you're looking for, for that kind of thing? Also; any pro-tips for earning SC? I managed to nab an extra 20 out of nowhere during one of the missions but didn't see how while running around in all the chaos.

scouts are the at-st looking walkers on bot missions

i've been using this guide to figure out all the various enemy types:
https://www.ign.com/wikis/helldivers-2/Terminids_and_Automatons_Guide

super credits, and a bunch of other stuff, can be found in pods marked with a pulsing gold beacon randomly scattered around maps

they also appear in hidden bunkers that require two people to open and half buried blue and white shipping crates that can be blown open with grenades

Managed a bunch of medium difficulty evac missions tonight, they're not too bad as long as you have a lot of mortar sentries going and everyone is mashing the button so you can extract as soon as possible.

Anything above medium seemed borderline impossible to me though.

So I'm really enjoying the autocannon, and the murder drone. But what part of the chargers legs am I supposed to be aiming for? I can kill one easily with a full clip but I feel like just disabling one is good enough to finish off.

you want to hit the charger in the rear end with the autocannon, two or three shots should be enough to pop it and then just let it bleed out

How's the incendiary shotgun in the premium battle pass? I like the explosive AR so far but am slowly saving up for other options

the incendiary shotgun is pretty dope and probably the best gun in the premium pass but by all accounts the regular auto shotty is a better choice

For as hype about this game as people seem to be, the actual combat is… not inspiring. The guns are bland, there’s only a tiny handful of them, and there’s no melee combat or anything to break it up; at best you have a moderately-interesting support weapon. The bulk of the fun is stratagems, and most of those are effectively just really big grenades. Don’t get me wrong, throwing a really big grenade is fun! But there’s only so much playtime you can wring out of it. And the ship upgrades are all boring passives, so once you’ve unlocked all the stratagems you like there’s nowhere to go.

e: one effect of the shift to 3D from topdown is the loss of immediacy. You can spot bases from a long distance, throw a ton of eagle strikes on them, and never have to actually go in and fight up close.

i agree a chainsaw support weapon would be dope as hell

those look like good fixes so far, nice

however, looks like theres no afk kicking?

nothing yet on that front though they've said it's something they're discussing

nothing about raising the user cap either so i'd guess they're mostly focused on optimising the backend since that's reportedly the main bottleneck at the moment

as other users have said, that's not likely a quick fix and could take a while yet

I think the reason the bots are kicking our rear end is because for whatever insanely stupid reason, the only defense mission available at the lowest levels is the rescue 30 scientists one, which is nightmarishly hard compared to every other mission for new divers and almost impossible to solo

I finally hit 20 tonight and rolled out the Railgun for the first time. Why is this thing so good? It's got 20 shots with a reload after each one, so I'm just using the Breaker most of the time, and pulling it out once in a while. I think I played on a lower difficulty to get used to it, so I guess I didn't really give it enough heavies to shine maybe? I used it to kill a Hulk pretty easily, but I coulda done that with an EAT too and had an actual weapon to use afterwards.

It's mostly just super versatile, it's powerful, it works at range, it's got loads of ammo, and it will break a Chargers leg armor in two shots.

I've been thinking about dropping the 80 medals on the JAR-5 because it looks cool as hell but I'm struggling to think of a decent loadout to complement it.

I kind of want to run it with a Stalwart so I've got trash clear and medium armour covered but then what do I do about heavy armour? I could take the railgun instead but that just fills the same niche as the JAR-5 but better.

Is there a toggle sprint function in this game? My pinky is getting sore from holding shift down constantly.

Yep, in the key bindings you can change the mode from 'hold' to 'press' which turns it into a toggle.

Note that you can do this with every key binding in the game, it's super flexible.

Yeah if I'm using a stratagem slot on a weapon then it needs to be able to deal with heavy armour because nothing else in the game can do that.

If we had a primary that could chip away at heavy armour I might reconsider but right now I don't feel like I have any other options.

I did attempt to aim for the pelican with my hellpod, but unfortunately it passes through. Was really hoping I could ruin his day, too.

I had a pubbie hit the dropship with their hellpod once, it killed me inside and bugged it so another player couldn't board to evac, we ended up losing something like 40 samples because of it.
