Dr. VooDoo posted:The bots, despite the scary appearance, actually call the Helldivers fascists and oppressors in-game so I’m sure as their campaign kicks up it’ll turn out to be something equally darkly funny like Super Earth created actual sentience in robots because torturing them when they could think and feel made them better laborers or something The Automatons share the symbol of the Cyborgs from the first game, who had very "EVIL COMMIE SOCIALISTS" spin in the Super Earth propaganda.

Phenotype posted:Well, it's a little weird because as disposable cannon fodder, you're given access to so much ordinance and initiative. Like, you'd think there would be some non-Helldiver troops that don't get orbital artillery synced to their command, just dudes with a helmet and a rifle that go off in groups much larger than 4, with a proper command structure and officers in the field telling them what to do. The Super Earth Armed Forces (SEAF) are the regular troopers, you can find them in various places dead on the ground, usually near like the artillery secondary objective and the like.

Icedude posted:I'm kinda disappointed they made the automatons actually evil with cages full of dead civvies and stuff. They could have made them "scary looking, but actually just want to be left alone", but nope they're nazi robots being even worse than your fascist humans. They're fighting to free their Cyborg creators from the first game who've been enslaved by Super Earth to work in the mines. I'm pretty sure it's a "you've committed these atrocities, so we're justified in committing them on you in turn." AKA it's still Super Earth's fault for pushing them that far.

sushibandit posted:A friend pointed out that different helmets do actually have different stats despite not showing those on the helmet itself. For example: That left helmet is the only one that has different stats, everything else is the same. I think it's an artifact of an earlier build where helmets did matter, just never got caught since its the only one.

Phenotype posted:Sure, sure, someone else mentioned that too, but like -- it doesn't seem like a single AI Skynet that's just building warmachines, it seems like they are specifically producing T-600 skeleton bots and then outfitting them with tanks and rocket packs and armor and whatever. To me, it seems like a sign that they're more of an actual civilization with a culture and everything. If it was just a race of killbots that want to kill stuff, they wouldn't be beholden to the T-600 look, they'd just churn out whatever giant tanks and walkers and stuff a robot brain inside the armor. But no, they're reproducing more of themselves, they're not just creating whatever killer robots would work best, just like we reproduce more humans and generally aren't creating enormous fleshy hulks with a brain inside. Well they have a marching song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5SriuojRA8

drrockso20 posted:Also really dumb that the timer based reinforcements you have once you run out of regular ones will only bring back a single Helldiver instead of everyone who's dead, that or at least reduce the cool down to something more reasonable Nah, if you run through all 20 reserve reinforcements before a mission's over then you need to reevaluate something. The timer is just there if you manage to clutch something out, not give you a pat on the back for loving up.

Warbadger posted:Similar to jammers you need to rapidly advance up to the eye of sauron, preferably starting the fight on your own terms so you're already next to the eye on its raised platform when the first dropships are landing around it. Once you get the platform clear it's done, you can drop the hellbomb right next to it out of LOS of the stuff dropping/marching around it, then hop off the side to safety on whichever side is clear after the bomb is ticking. I'd suggest 2 people to seamlessly blast your way through the initial guards and a railgun strike on hand for the occasional tank/hulk parked on the platform with the tower, but it's very easy to get in and out. Fangz posted:I usually find trying to clear the Eye of loving Sauron *is* the failure cascade. The hellbomb won't land properly, and people keep dropping orbitals on it despite it not doing anything, and piles of enemies land and kill you over and over. You can use a recoilless to kill it directly too.

veni veni veni posted:These same people always seem to think that they are the only ones who know what they are doing and everyone else is just taking on engagements for no reason when in reality their team is just getting swarmed and they are not helping at all. Bug Breaches and Bot Drops only occur where the alert is sounded. If a Rambo triggers those then it will only go to their location, not the others. If the other people are getting swarmed it's entirely their fault.

Darth Walrus posted:Speaking of, is there ever a reason to use the third-person aiming mode rather than iron sights? It seems massively less accurate. I actually have far more success landing shots in 3rd person ADS with the Slugger than with 1st person. It feels like there's some subtle aim assist in 3rd person.

LuiCypher posted:So while Armor Rating supposedly works now, one thing the devs haven't been clear on is how much penetration enemies' attacks have (as they will negate a certain amount of Armor Rating). Actually I feel like I'm more able to survive getting winged by a Bile Titan's barf beam than before. Obviously you can't get hit head on. Also in general it feels like I'm surviving a bunch of enemies in melee better. Still gonna die if you get swarmed bad but you are more survivable.
