Helldivers 2 - Hell is more diverse than ever as PlayStation's demographics continue to grow and change.

[NSJAP]

My idea to make flag useful:

cooldown - 150 sec
melee damage - 440 and 165 durable (basically best melee weapon)
gives wearer 15% damage resistance from all sources
planted flag gives 35% damage resistance from all sources for helldivers in 15m radius ( effect does not stacks with other planted flags in the area and with flags on helldivers)

Of course the warbond is crap, which warbond wasn't since the game released? I always just used the same loadout for every faction and it never failed.

Helldivers Mobilize gets you set up with a basic loadout but generally speaking the other warbonds actually have something to offer and are worthwhile considering they are one of the only things you can even spend SC on. This recent one was bad and it shows in how much the player base is making a stink of it.

You still die way to fast in this game. Unless they finally increase the health of the player and make heals instant, I probably never gonna play this game ever again.

lmao bye. If you ever decide to play again remember: Bug next to you = bad, standing out in the open in front of robots = bad, walking towards red stratagem beams = bad. Keep these advanced pro-player tips in mind and you'll probably stop dying all the time.

The DSS blew up. The location vote was to move to Pilen V, even though the flavor text warned it would be in danger. Elections have consequences, citizen!

Actual content update in 5 days.
New splash art tier update.

 

[Neodanthril]

I saw that you have to use the weapons quite a bit

you unlock the only upgrade that is useful (vertical foregrip) after like 2 missions. and it is nice to have something to build towards at this point in the game for me.

die way to fast in this game

get good. i can and have beat max difficulty missions against all factions without dying once. that doesnt happen every time, but it is doable, and im not even all that good.

What strategems are recommended for shooting down squid air support?

you can shoot them down with the mmg. they are made of paper.

 

[Sealed the Deal]

Is it just me or did this patch seem to introduce a lot of weird bugs that weren't there. My guns will shoot then reload mid magazine, I will finish a stratagem and throw it only for it not go off, and my guy will just keep crouched despite me holding down run. The most annoying part is that this happens very sporadically and usually when shit is hitting the fan.

I've run into the issue of being unable to reload my current weapon (switching weapons seems to fix this but is very annoying mid-fight) and my guard dog going off to Super Earth knows where when it needs to reload.

 

[Disdainer of the Plebs]

I saw that you have to use the weapons quite a bit before you're allowed to upgrade them, which is just more grind to the grindfest this game already is.

They level pretty quick on serious (7+) difficulties. I ran tenderizer twice last night on 7 and it’s like level 5.

I experienced this a few times early on when the update came out. If you press 5 to recall it it will teleport back to you after a short while. Taking it off and putting it back on probably works too.

I saw that initial post about how it was damaged and it could be destroyed if we called it wrong, and instantly, I knew that the DSS would not survive. Glad to know I was absolutely correct.

Presumably its the Super Earth maps that people have already gotten into.

SEAF troops were also leaked "again".
I have a great and terrible hopium SEAF troops will be as diverse and useful as Eagles or Orbitals.

Finally got back into it after a year and it's actually fun. Are we so fucking back? Player numbers are also pushing 100K again.

feels GOOD... i haven't played since late february but the update and breaking out my good friend the Laser Cannon is always a fun time

Good to see the old kit still works against squids. Was half expecting an even worse heavy walker type to fight against like the bots got with their AT-AT.

Did they ever fix that bug where you can accidentally frag yourself if you turn too fast with the energy beam version? I only use the machine gun version because of it.

Play on D-10 and they'll be max level in no time. Personally I've been changing my primary to something different either every mission or every new operation.

Yes. For now anyway.

 

[ADG Rotten snatch]

I've been pressed back into service to drive back the squids. What strategems are recommended for shooting down squid air support?

My go to is

WASP
Eagle strafing run
Gatling or machine turret
Tesla Tower

The wasp eats most of the illuminate including that annoying interloper. Eagle to tear down shield and turret for cover. Tesla will lock down and area hard.

Usually run grenade pistol and incendiary grenade.

Listen up maggot because im only gonna say this once. You wanna survive A whole game? Armor the fuck up. Get into into the Heavy armor and aquire the riot shield to cover your ass every time the enemy fires at it. You'll be delighted to know napalm and the quasar Canon can kill anything that gets near you. Be strategic, be epic and be prepared to throw arty at your feet and run like hell.

 

[Harvey Danger]

With the new Warbond drop, I was just thinking how incongruous it feels that they drop what's basically dress armor in the middle of the craziest Illuminate push yet.

I agree, but I like the flavor excuse in the latest The Galactic War briefing. The situation is so desperate, even the ceremonial guards usually safely stationed on Super Earth are being called up to combat.

I normally do, but its too hard for my normie friends.

Alternate plan, bring supply pack and start mainlining stims for the entire match. Can't die if you're constantly blasted out of your mind on God knows what.
