You were a majestic pain in the ass, Shai-Halud. See you again probably within six months.
 
Anybody know why end of mission stats are showing 1100-1300 rounds fired when I'm using the DCS and the Spear? It's has be counting turrets and/or strafing runs. While my long break defintely hurt my accuracy, there's no way I'm all the sudden using 50 mags a round.

Kiwidivers pls respond.
I still play pretty much every day (just one mission usually). I’ve played since about April 2024 and have about 800 hours. I didn’t stop playing during the nerfpocalypse and I don’t follow the major orders (I only play bot missions). I simply like the gameplay.

I pretty much play with the same weapons, stratagems, and boosters. I have unlocked all the warbonds except the halo one. I only paid for super credits once at the very beginning and mostly as a tip for making such a fun game.

I think all of these YouTubers just want to make click bait. My autism obsession is Helldivers 2 so as long as I’m enjoying that’s great. When summer is back I’ll play a lot less in favor of fly fishing.

4 points I 100% agree with:
  • Almost all post-Meridia blackhole enemies were poorly designed and there's been little improvement on them since introduction
  • AH keeps making it more difficult to kill heavy enemies by targeting weak points or in the case of the War Strider don't give it any
  • AH "fixed" performance on higher difficulty missions by replacing chaff units with fewer, stronger ones to reduce active unit counts
  • AH's improved AI update did nothing to improve enemy AI but was part of what brought the game engine to it's knees for 6 weeks.
 
The War Strider was fine, especially since it only even spawns in like half the missions you take for bots. The actual thing that the War Strider gets you with isn't anything to do with its armor, but that it shits grenades all over the place and that's as disruptive as you can expect. If you don't pack heavy piercing when Hulks are in every patrol then you need to learn that you can't beat the entire game with the Stalwart and nothing else.

I'm back to using the recoiless rifle on every bot mission. My buddy always brings the spear but sometimes the top attack doesn't one shot the war strider, so I direct fire the recoiless into the hip joint. I miss having the railgun and the warp/jet pack because it was very fun, but Ol' Carl Gustav never lets me down.

This is still my go to. The only thing I can’t kill with it is the warstrider (which does suck). I have to save my thermite grenades to take them out.

they recently "fixed" the War Strider by now giving it some weakpoints (the eye and the vents), but for some reason they're still AP4.
Is the railgun AP4 at 90% charge? I think it’s pretty strong but I haven’t been able to take down a warstrider with the railgun yet (not that I’ve tried…)

Heavy armor isn't even the problem. Compare and contrast Bot eyes. Hulks can be killed with one shot from the AMR. The War Strider would take 4. Even if they dropped the HP to 450 you'd have to be almost point blank for drag to not fuck you.
450*(1-0.25)+(225*0.25) =393.4/250
450*(1-0.70)+(225*0.70)=157.5/500

According to the wiki it's just AP 5. The damage is all that scales with overcharge.

Edit: with 70% durable and the rail gun's durable damage capping at roughly 610, in theory a well placed shot to the eye at 90% charge or even a little under should kill it in one shot. Would need some field testing.

the damage done by all the bugs has really hit the player count. and the activity of this thread. i installed it again. had fun, but teammates desync more frequently than they used to.
I'm still getting black screen lock ups if I try to play the game. I check every patch to see if that particularly issue is fixed for me and haven't had any luck.

Dough is absolutely a grifter. You could argue others creators like Buzz are as well.

Durable damage is such a retarded system. Especially since it's literally not explained anywhere in-game, what it is or how it works.

Hell, I've watched plenty of videos talking about it and I'm still not entirely sure how it works. But that might be because I'm not good at math.

Then again you shouldn't have to be good at math to figure out why the 100 HP light armor enemy survived your 100 damage AP 3 bullet.

In theory, they recently "fixed" the War Strider by now giving it some weakpoints (the eye and the vents), but for some reason they're still AP4. Same with how they temporarily bandaided the dragonroach by making it so destroying the wings kill the roaches instantly.
I'm fine with its eyes being AP4 since the factory striders and hulks are also like that. The ass vent should be Ap3 like the tanks.
