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

You watch one or two videos about uses of weapons and stratagems that are actually helpful and/or clever and then get flooded with "INSANE new update, Are Devs RIPPING APART the community, how [X} BROKE ME, will this KILL Helldivers 2 FOREVER?" videos with absolute nonsense AI thumbnails.

Are you surprised that predatory worthless jewtube "content creators" use clickbait titles to vomit out old news and stale takes?
Honestly, using jewtube for gaming news is like walking in a lake of AIDS.

Fuck them and fuck the meta.
I got my Diligence and my Recoilless and there's nothing more satisfying the popping a bot drop out of the air.

I saw a new stratagem pop up doing the game on the ship, Global Illumination Flare. Had an icon like the orbital laser. Pretty obvious what it does but I've not seen anyone talking about it

I've seen in talked about somewhat, it's apparently a mission specific stratagem, I believe it'll be an extra dark planet that you have to keep pulling out flares (it has unlimited uses but a 30 second cooldown)
They've been scrubbing a lot of the videos showing these stratagems in action.
Here's a few others though

Spoiler

High chance we'll see the Illuminate soon as well since there were a lot of models and strings related to them in the files added recently.

I'm hardly surprised, but I'm still disgusted it is this way.

I do recommend this dude. He produces short, about 30 seconds clips of a subject with no filler, no face/voice, or skits. Just text and a demonstration of what he is talking about. In this case the recent nerfs to the head of the Charger means you can use the rail gun to take them out in about three shots.

 

[bigoogabaloogas]

The Arc Thrower and the EAT are some of the best tacticals to use for Chargers, so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the latest patch makes it so that you can oneshot Chargers with a shot to the head.

I bet after this current Major Mission the bugs are gonna mutant and we get a new, flying enemy type:

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

I’m assuming the fire battlepass goes away when the new one drops tomorrow. Can anyone confirm that? I generally don’t play game that have them.

Not in Helldivers. Battlepasses stick around.

>Haven't had a chance to play the new patch
>See video complaining it's the worst patch yet. Watch
>It's some meta-fag who drops into a rando level 8 and tries to just kill everything by himself with the breaker incendiary/recoilless
>Doesn't even bother figuring out what the objective is
>Swarmed by titans as the last objective goes untouched for over 15 minutes
>Host quits
>'Wow this patch is even worse than I thought!'

lmao. Die mad, r*ddit shitters. Thank you, Arrowhead.

Cool.

What’s the use case for the sniper rifle over the DMR or the autocannon? It seems like that’s the special weapon I see the least.

Honestly only time I use it is on mid tier bot missions when I don't think my primary has enough punch for the heavies. Not as good as the autocannon but frees up a back pack slot and works as an emergency mag dump for turning a corner to find 3 chainsaw fuckers. Beyond like level 6 though not sure. The real answer is because you want to shoot things with a .50 cal tho.

 

[indomitable snowman]

I found out it runs in Linux on proton. I ended up buying it this week and it runs fine so I don't have to worry about the nprotect rootkit on windows. Having fun figuring things out as I go. Meta-builds in videogames are cancer.

I honestly haven’t fucked with the backpacks yet. That’s probably why I’ve been having such an painful time with the bots.

 

[LOWERCASE LETTERS]

The AMR is quite excellent against bots, as it can pop all of their heavies except for tanks with 1-3 headshots.

It's 2, devastators take 2 headshots from the Diligence and Counter Sniper. Counter Sniper however, is stupid heavy and unwieldy and needs a rework. I use diligence on bot missions exclusively. Don't bother with backpacks, run EAT and a bunch of strikes. EAT can one shot a Hulk to the visor, and the stationary canon or tank to the vents. If your teammate brings a shield pack, have him call one in for you after he's got his is he's nice

 

[TerranTony98]

I don't know if I'm going crazy but there are times where the game feels more difficult on the medium difficulties (4-6) than on the more extreme difficulties after the newest patch.

 

[The Early 2000s]

Helldiver difficulty is noticeably easier. The Charger nerf is great, and the EATs has went from C-tier to necessity. Seeing those fucking hunks of shit get BTFO with a rocket to the face fills me with such joy.

 

[zuG]

The networking in this game is the worst fucking thing I have ever seen. Continuous issues, I have to restart after every mission. It never even tells you if shit's fucked. Sometimes you're just sitting in your goonpod waiting for a second player to join and it never happens.

 

[Seija Kijin]

May your games be blessed by easy sample collection and no meta fags.

 

[>IMPLYING]

Thank you to the hacker who gave me so many samples I was able to max my ship upgrades in less than an hour, much appreciated.

My friends swear by the guard dogs and shields as force multipliers that out weigh the downsides by keeping them alive. They ARE. COWARDS. Grab a supply pack. Grab a machine gun or flamer and a primary that chews through ammo. Kill without a second thought.

I feel like the AP Liberator is slept on for that niche. Set it to single and just tap the weak spots. It even goes through bug corpses. Just make sure you have a back up that can enforce personal space in a hurry.
