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

Not seeing my medals for either of the last two major orders I took part in, what the fuck is with this game? The gameplay itself is fun but I wish they'd get their shit together with the game service itself.

They already have our money, they can just relax and snort blow off the backs of Thai ladyboys now or whatever Swedes do for debauchery.


Tweaked my loadout after the nerfs. Still using Breaker, haven't unlocked Slugger yet hopefully it's not total ass like the Punisher. Cluster bomb is great for both the bots and bugs and the basic eagle airstrike is handy too. Mortar sentry for bots, autocannon sentry for bugs. Spear for bugs as my special weapon, it's been nice so far, one shot those faggot chargers a few times with it and a few bile titans. Autocannon special weapon for bots.

The mechs seem pretty meh so I've not been too concerned about them.

Is it just me, or is the health pool of the Bile Titans wildly inconsistent? Some games I've had to dump entire autocannons + ~4 EATs and they barely flinch. Other games they fall over pretty easily. I had one game where we just kept dumping everything we had into one for about 8 minutes and it just wouldn't go down.

Tried to get it to let me play it for an hour and half after buying it and just gave up and refunded... fuck this shit.

Yes I tried a ton of stupid shit, fuck this stupid anti-cheat shit they got in it. Lol you know Nprotect GameGuard has kernel / root access right... have fun with that.

weakpoint damage has a crazy modifier, like 4x or something, isnt super noticeable on weaker guys, somewhat so on the charger, but on the bile its significantly more noticeable. Generally one anti tank shell exposing the topside armor and a single well placed impact grenade does the job, but that requires two good angles. The titans weakspots being as small as they are, when they are hit it likely isnt obvious (unless its a 1 tap ofc), but when it doubt just call in a supply drop through the thorax, usually blows off some armor at least.

Looks like we got the change for the enemies grouping for higher level missions patch:


  • The amount of heavily armored targets that spawn on higher difficulties, especially for Terminids, have been a big discussion point online and internally. The intent is for groups to have to bring some form of anti-tank capability but not to the degree previously needed.

    To that end we have reduced the spawn rate of Chargers and Bile Titans on difficulties 7 and up. In addition we have reduced the risk of spawn spikes of Chargers and Bile Titans.

    Please note that we have changed the distribution of enemy types, not reduced difficulty. Expect other enemy types to appear in greater numbers instead.

Really like it cause it allows for more usage of mass area stragems like the cluster bomb, etc to have their uses.

Speaking off.....man are the normie that are trying to metafy this game annoying. I had 2 of them quit in a row (and have other join my mission in progress) just because I was using a cluster bomb on a level 6 mission. Its a shame that the latest CoD Slop is so bad that they are all rushing to the hot new game.

On the other hand, I keep getting faggots who farmed exterminate missions up to level 50, joining my difficulty 7 missions with either full meta loadouts, or double mortar farmcuck stratagems, who always seem to get stuck fighting infinitely bugholing/dropshipping swarms right off of spawn and wasting all of our respawns, for 35 minutes straight while me and sometimes a second guy just have a running gunfight against half the planet while doing all of the objectives. Again, can't wait for the next FOTM slopgame to come out so I can have more competent people on my team.

I really don't mind what specific gear people bring, because if you're alright at the game, you can make fucking ANYTHING work, but I do think I'm going to add "Person with literally zero ways to deal with armor in loadout" to the instant kick list along with hotmicing Mexicans.

I have been cursed with knowledge after partaking in the new major order... the liberator Penetrator is for bugs not bots. Bugs don't have many heavy armor enemies, you can fan the trigger to get full auto, and just rip through hordes of anything lighter than a charger. The only issue is the magazine size but you're popping commanders so reliably that the ammo consumption is a reasonable trade off. So now I just use the diligence for bots and the LibPen for bugs. I still don't like fighting bugs, I don't like any enemy that slows and swarms, but at least I can have a bit of fun with it

We are humbled by the community's ability to find things like Chargers “leg meta” in our game, however spending your heavy anti tank weapons on legs instead of the obvious weak point seems counter to expectation.
Ah so the glowing ass on the charger is finally-
We are not changing anything regarding the Charger’s legs, we are however lowering the health of the Charger’s head. It should now be at a point where a well placed shot from a Recoilless Rifle or EAT-17 instantly kills a charger.

Ah yes of course.

Fucking swedes.

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.
Seething fake gaymer outrage channel is the natural conclusion of the COD commentary youtuber > LPer > horror game fake reaction LPer > consumer rights advocate grift. God knows hwy it works, but it works, I guess people are retarded enough to watch the 57th "microtransactions are bad, videogames used to be less jewish 20 years ago" video today.

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
