Helldivers 2

I've been getting really into hd recently. I have a good kit for bots and can easily do lvl 9 missions. I can't figure out bug missions. I can barely get through lvl 6 missions. What kit am I supposed to be using?

devs just decide we failed even though we were up by +2 planets

nah

The default character is a white male.

Grenade launcher, ammo pack and two turrets

AoE. If you can't kill a bunch of bugs quickly then you're dead.

Bots require precision to take out, but if you use a flamethrower/turret or an eagle strafing run (one of the smaller, easily rechargable ones) then that's all you need

I'm looking more for specific loadout recommendations. I have everything unlocked except stuff locked behind super credits.

stg, impact grenades, guard dog, eagle strafing run, eagle napalm

I'll try the grenade launcher. Turrets seem like a bad choice since they just kill my teammates. Is that just a skill issue?

Lost another Major Order

Y'all niggas need to level up fr

I really wanna be a fag and bring all incendiary kit. Is that a kickable offense?

I like the gas strike+gatling barrage for bugs, both up for every breach and you just throw the gas to keep them there and killing each other. Then throw the gatling barrage which lasts a decent bit of concentrated fire

doing as much damage to the communists as possible

I'd give you a medal for bringing that kit

If they get killed by your turrets, it's usually their fault

I will just keep fighting the tin cans

The basic bitch machinegun and an ammo pack is good for most bugs. If you git gud with the heavy machinegun, you can kill chargers and titans with it too. The armor with a bonus to melee is recommended because it makes it so much easier to aim the bulky HMG. It's more of an issue than recoil control.

the friend who got me the game stopped playing and then basically stopped talking to me altogether despite he himself saying he needed to exercise his social muscle more, so I just kinda gave up on it too
I hope swedes made the illuminate no longer half a faction and they aren't just ass suck to fight anymore
the fuck kind of dumbass comment is this lmfao you literally play the tutorial as a dude

Let me know when I can purchase this game when I literally live on the other side of Sea

My go-to bug loadout recently (for predator strain) has been Blitzer/Cookout, grenade pistol, thermites, machine gun sentry, gas dog, quasar cannon, and 500kg bomb. Crowd control and weapons with stun/knockback is crucial. Gas grenades are amazing as well.

devs literally never give enough illuminate spawns to do illuminate defense objectives

it's so blatantly bullshit, the RNG gamemaster from 1 comes off more natural
bugs suck because they rush you and their breaches can't be destroyed, so you're just always under assault from fast-moving melee attackers burning and light penetration matter more with bugs than it ever will for bots

Same, squids are just boring

you're just always under assault from fast-moving melee attackers

if you pull aggro like an idiot, yeah. just kill off the breach and avoid patrols after. the bugs have no chance if all four divers stay together.

Gas is your friend. The gas guard dog is your best friend
Bugs will run or attack whatever except you once they are gassed. It is also very good against bots. Bots under the effect of gas just shoot at each other or anywhere except at you, so you can easily take care of them. Even chargers and hulks make an U-turn when they try to come at you

Aw shit if we pull back people from the Automaton front we're at risk of a future double-whammy but there isn't really a choice, is there?
Rumor has it ever since they liberated the Cyberstan, the Cybs' have been doing some modding in the way their bots fight. Wonder if they're saving the surprise for when they're put on the spot again, or when they get their turn on the center stage.

I doubt we will ever have multiple faction on the same planet, but it would be cool

It's all rigged anon. There's been plenty of times where every fucker is doing the same MO but they forgot to chance the decay rate and it ended up failing.

Talus bots have been pushed back to Gaellivare for a while now, main effort has been hitting up Zzaniah Prime contesting the pyro-bots.
I am morbidly curious as to what Super Earth will look like when under attack.

Explain yourself

No, we could have won, but the retards just can't think. 8000 defended a planet that was lost anyway when they should have liberated the one with 90%.
Or how for the entire week 3000 troglodytes sat on Veld not managing to even go over 30% thanks to resistance level.

both automatons and terminids looks so close that i bet they will attack super earth right after illuminati is beaten off. the propaganda intro wasnt lying...

Sorry anon, i am too poor to afford Helldivers 2. Managed to buy a PC that can run the game but i am too broke to buy games right now.

Okay, how's this any different from the gay ass Meridia event?

you mean body type A

The outcomes of every singe MO are predetermined. They just fuck with the numbers behind the scenes to force whatever they want.

I know we can't stop Super Earth from becoming a battlefield, but I bet this is going to be like HD1 where failing/succeeding to defend its outcome will be up in the air.
Maybe the non-Helldiver parts of Super Earth's Spacefleet will finally get off their ass and do something. That would be neat.

I got excited hearing they added more squids and weapon mods, but honestly it all seems overwhelming. They also nerfed the ultimatum, which sucks.

We're actually going to be duking it out on super earth with SEAF and Civilian NPCs fighting alongside us. The remaining missing squid units will either be deployed as the event drags on or they'll be uncovered for Super Earth's last stand.
All the crying fags are so brain fried that they can't wait another week for an actual cool event to transpire. This is going to be cool.

its rigged that they invade superearth anyway

I haven't played this is a good while so I forget how to play

I just want to see a Liberty Cruiser for real.

Game crashes in long missions

New shit always lacks any semblance of testing

Devs never demonstrated they play their own game past diff 3

10 dollars for "content" additions that are untested and get nerfed because Arrowhead can't be bothered to play their own game

Nah I'm good

I don't care, new weapons are generic shit and all the maps play the same, I'm back to DRG until they actually make it varied (like actual weapon customization)

new warbond adds just a semiauto rifle

woah, thanks, can't wait to not being able to damage the new enemies

I'm going back to DRG

Don't forget your dilator, xister!

they nerfed it because faggots are cheesing the jammers
people just nuke shit from far away and dont collect the samples and super credits. this playerbase is so retarded, its amazing.

people refuse to go look for super credits because the small points of interest dont show up on the objective bar. People think the big space on the map is useless.
you can tell because none of them upgrade their destroyers and their resupply pods dont refil back packs all the way

randomly generated slop

lmao

Do you think each mission in HD2 isn't randomly generated?

What warbonds are good?

rock and stone brother

What am I meant to be doing to get gud at fighting illuminates, everything seems to have too much health and medium armor, so I just get inevitably overwhelmed when I need to reload. The unarmoured spots don't seem to be weak points either.

interact with console simulator

don't forget your brownoid crew

The default character is the "random" option that flips between either each mission. Nice try, though.

Show me a screenshot of the "male" option.

overwhelming

Meant underwhelming. Very underwhelming.

cheesing

The only faggots here are the ones that pretend using a game mechanic that's working properly (as in not actually a glitch) to do things in a game is a bad thing that needs to be balanced immediately so that all other options don't work outside of the intended one. You genuinely don't like fun games. The rest of your post is completely unrelated to what I said about the ultimatum.

they got inflated hp pools yup you just need as maximum penetration heavy now for the bombing ships, use bullet drone pack it helps a lot if you suck handling mobs and light armor cause most of the time you re gonna dodge melee and projectiles

they fixed the eruptor

anyone use it yet? are back?

they fixed the eruptor

I love that they keep buffing best gun

I really need to mod this game.

Thanks for reminding me to buy the game, shill.

This product is not available in your region

Oh, nevermind.

get told Ultimatum got buffed

can't destroy stratagem towers anymore

trash, uninstalled

Who the fuck told you it got buffed? It got """rebalanced""".

they ruined it, they took away the only thing that made it special...

Will installing mods get me banned?

Good. Kill yourself for trivializing every lobby you're in, shitter.

Ultimatum got whacked

Portable hellbomb bros we are so back

It got fixed. Almost all its damage was in the actual projectile. It did jack shit in the explosion radius. It was only good at taking out buildings or individual heavy units if your aim was really good. Now it does what it was suppose to and clears out hordes with one click

Battle on Super Earth is INEVITABLE

and what third world country do you hail from, brother?

Might return
Is the new update good?
For now busy with the forever winter

Why the hate?
Did something happen to drg?

It did jack shit in the explosion radius.

I've taken out groups of 12 with it. Also the update reduced its explosion radius.

Clearing missions for random upgrades

Somewhere along the road it turned it turned into a troon/reddit infested hugbox. I miss the old DRG, before they ruined the game with their shitty seasons.

Can you play solo?

post squid killer builds

eruptor

REDEEM

gas grenade

jetpack

MG

MG sentry

OPS

we’re so fucking back it’s insane

2shots the squid meat abominations

can 1shot all overseers

damages and can kill tripods

kills hordes efficiently

it’s amazing for the squids, haven’t tried against other factions yet

Yes. The question is if YOU can handle the higher difficulties alone

Higher difficulties have a lot of RNG factors. Bots are okay if you have the right loadout but bugs are just obnoxious to try and do at extreme and above.

nah these guys are just projecting and they cant like two games at once
probably some shitter who uses up all the ammo playing offense scout

new squid missions is same shit but less objectives

Bravo

Are you deaf?
Or are you a retard who needs every character to have pronouns visible?

it's all client side cosmetics so no

You know there's an option to always choose the guy when you land right?

Napalm barrage

380mm barrage

120mm barrage
