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

[Back me up!]

Sometime these almost feel impossible on the higher difficulties when you have 10 flamer hulks and 3 tanks dropping right on top of you constantly, if you have low levels on your team that don't have the orbital laser or the rail gun strike.

Also does anyone else ever use the auto-gun turret, I feel like it sucks vs the robots, I throw it down and its vaporized two seconds later, or it feels like it does not even attempt to shoot anything.

Its rough cause the bots will go for the Auto-gun turret ASAP and since it usually is facing the big guys it hits most of the elite bots in their most heavy armed areas. Now it works pretty well if you set it up far enough away but it really needs distance to shine against the bots.

ok...so I've started full eagle strats now, 500kg, rockets and something else. Orbitals have too long a cooldown and some with shitty limited uses.
Seems to work much better

well just joined a premade team of three people. that seem to have been cheating. They literally had unlimited grenades and were spamming the hell out of them (like as a main weapon). The one time I died, I could see their grenade count at -147/4

Are they at least getting super samples for you?

The only turrents that arent shit is the EMS one by alot and the other mortar one.

I have over 100 super samples and nothing to spend them on. It's rares that are gatekeeping me. 24 more and I have bought all the upgrades

I've got no friends and a midrange PC. I really enjoyed playing deep rock galactic; do you feel it is worth the $40 to run with PUGs?

That's how I've been playing and it's still really fun, most of the time I even manage to get competent teammates

Its generally alright from my experience as most of the more sweaty COD and Destiny niggers have gone back to their hellholes so you wont get instakicked the exact millisecond you joined because you have 1 non meta stratagem or gun in your inventory. It's a bit colder than DRG honestly since there isnt that much in the way of greeting mid game or pre-diving like Rock and Stone does.
E: generally the worst it's at now is retarded French and Mexicans that don't understand the concept of using push to talk or noise cancelling

Does having fun in this game require being up-to-date in meta and putting in grind? I know there's a battle pass and there seems to be a time sensitive player contribution aspect. The ongoing hype and player count looks great but I can't invest high schooler hours into a game anymore.

I've never had any one say shit to me about my load out but i've only played up to difficulty 8 so far.

Being in the know about the meta from my experience is not an instant trump card since you can get your shit pushed in from various environmental factors, who exactly you're fighting and whether or not your teammates are glue huffers. The non-premium battlepass is pretty generous and only gets kinda grindy near the last 3ish pages if you only tackle difficulty 4-6. The premium battlepass can be a bit grindy since it has far less stuff than the regular pass and its been a mixed bag so far with usually ~1 actually good weapon.

Nah. At worst starting around mission level 6 or so you need to focus on taking out heavy armor and clearing out large mobs. How you do it is up to you and just pick what ever you find the most fun. Just practice a bit on seeing how danger close you can get to the various airstrikes and don't feel the need to rush up the mission levels.

There hasn't been any negatives for failing a Major Order (besides some story lore) so as long as your are fighting you are contributing.

Thanks. I might give it a try over the weekend, hope it's as good as all the reviews say.

This game really needs a Killzone collab with Helghast armor and a Helghast cruiser skin. Sony. Make it happen.

Not really, there isn't a wholly set "meta" though I do have loadouts I prefer to run depending on the enemy (and depending on who you talk to there are some primary weapons that just feel like shit to play with). As far as the battle pass, they've handled it well. You can get the premium battle pass currency in-game and you don't have FOMO because the battle passes won't be leaving. They'll all remain as they are so you can pick and choose when premium battle pass you might want, if any.

The game is fun but they're definitely still ironing shit out, some weapon bugs, stuff causing crashes, etc. From what I've seen of the complaints the PS5 version seems to be having more issues than the PC version. Crossplay is still somewhat fucked too if you're looking to play with buddies.

 

[Maginot]

If you keep getting crashes, verify files. There seems to be some bugs that scramble game files on a regular basis.

 

[Back me up!]

I really wonder why the Bitsquid game engine was discontinued when it can pull off some amazing visuals. The Swede's at Arrowhead Studios are master at allowing pure cinema to happen:

Guess magic can happen when you don't outsource everything to the pajeets and DEI hires.

It would be disheartening to see alphabet soup flag capes end up in game. But knowing Sony I would not put it past them to try to force the developer into it.

I enjoy that this game has no connection to current day American cultural garbage.

Two things are never going to happen in this game:

1. Friendly Fire being turned off.
2. The tranny flag being added to this game. (See point 1).

Putting the tranny flag in the game means that evil world government approves gay shit AND it would be open season to shot any one wearing the tranny flag on sight. So kind of a win win if it happen or not.
