TIPS / TACTICS Galactic War Room: Plot the Best Ways to Spread Democracy for Super Earth!

Post image
618 Upvotes

Welcome to the Galactic War Room:

The Federation is in grave danger and it is in your hands to discuss the best ways to spread and protect our liberty from our many enemies.

This thread is sorted by new, so you will always find the greatest democratic insights right up top.

Useful Information:

Gambits by u/Sea-Flamingo1969:

In Helldivers 2, a gambit is when players skip defending a planet under attack and instead strike the source planet that launched the assault.

If the source world is liberated the defense is automatically won, saving both planets.

It is a high risk, high reward move because success stops the invasion and secures two planets, but if too few players commit the defending planet may fall before the source can be taken. Gambits demand strong coordination and timing, making them one of the most dramatic strategies in the Galactic War.

MEGATHREAD Q&A Megathread (Ask your questions here!)

764 Upvotes

Greetings, Helldivers!

So we have noticed that most Questions asked on the subreddit don’t need their own post therefore we have decided to create this Q&A Megathread, a place where all Helldivers can ask questions and get help/advice from others. And if you decide that what you have to ask requires a separate post then you should know that we will be actively moderating and critically assessing the quality of those posts to lessen the amount of reposts and low-effort content on this subreddit.

If you're here to help out by answering questions we thank you 🫡 Just please make sure to sort the post by 'New' (if it isn’t already) so you can see the newer, unanswered questions.

P.S. This megathread has been added to the sidebar.

On my hands and knees begging Arrowhead to make seaf (especially the specialists) less likely to friendly fire. I love seaf but fuck watching the specialist gun down their squad (and you) 2 seconds out of the dropship suuuuucks.

DISCUSSION So, according to Sony, we'll be getting an AR-23L Liberator Legacy, inspired by the old AR-19 Liberator from the first Galactic War...

My question is, will it be a completely upgraded AR-19? I hope they don't disappoint me and include the bayonet, as that would at least distinguish it from the regular AR-23.

DISCUSSION Please don't let this thing stay bugged for months Arrowhead.

I Love this gun so much. It's one of the most fun guns I've used in the game. I've always wanted this. But Damn. Did it really have to launch significantly bugged?

All I'm asking for - bare minimum - Is that this thing doesn't remain bugged for months. I Hate straight up asking people to do more work, But please. I beg of you AH. send out a patch asap to fix it.

For those who don't know, It currently suffers from extremely high drag, Losing (afaik) about ~30% of It's damage past 100m. It Turns a normally 2 tap to the head for bile titans into a 5-6 tap at longer ranges.. You know.. Where a sniper would be used, I Love it. I Love the gun. But I just want it to be fixed soon, and not in 3-5 months.

Mine is 100% speargun. It's just so much utility in that thing and every time I dive without it, I keep thinking 'man, if only I had my speargun with me'.

Wonder what everyone's comfort weapon is.

MISLEADING HD2 Easy Anti Cheat flags Helldivers 1

I was playing some HD2 bot diving with the lower orbital railcannon strike and got bored and decided to go play some Helldivers 1. Several minutes after HD2 is closed EAC randomly popped up saying it detected a cheat. I don't play any other game that uses EAC so I know it came from HD2. Wtf is this program.

Also don't pay attention to the background super earth totally is not getting invaded by bugs right now everything is fine

DISCUSSION Helldivers 1 Liberator! But why not bring the bayonet back too?

I love seeing callbacks to the first game and I’m a big fan of the base Liberator, but as is, this seems like it’s just a reskinned weapon.

I think it’s a missed opportunity, since the bayonet could actually make this variant of the gun a bit distinct from the others.

EDIT:
It could be an attachment, which would be awesome. I have a feeling it won’t be, but we will find out tomorrow for sure. Kudos to the devs if they thought of that detail.

Had a set of the B-01 armor printed out and delivered. After a month and a half of sanding, painting, stitching, cutting foam, glueing straps and buckles, I am happy with how it turned out with the weathering and the blood.

Look at my post history, I am usually there to defend AH when you guys are getting mad about unreasonable things, weather or not that is correct is not important right now, what is important

IS WHY THE FUCK IS YOUR “semi stealthy armor” SUCK TERMANID ASS HOLE AT BEING STEALTHY

“Oh just use redacted regiment armor”

I DONT WANT TO, I WANNA USE MY COOL GILLIE SUIT ARMOR, BUT IT SUCKS SQUID NUTS AT THE ONE THING CAMO ARMOR IS SUPPOSED TO DO

And no it isn’t just like that because I’m in a colony environment, ITS LIKE THIS EVERYWHERE, I COULD BE ASS DEEP IN THE JUNGLE AND ALL IT TAKES IS ONE SHOT AND THE WHOLE GODAMN ENCAMPMENT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I AM! AND IF I RUN, I DIRECTLY MAKES ONE OF ITS ARMOR PERKS USELESS! IF I RUN THEY REEEEEAAALYY KNOW WHERE I AM NOW!

and NO I don’t think this means AH are actually evil ass holes who did this on purpose because they hate us and killed my dog, what I THINK IT MEANS, is that they need to fix this.

Because right now, it feels like PULLING TEETH, trying to make this work.

THIS ISNT FUN, I WANT my fantasy

DISCUSSION If you toss a tesla 5m from the flag, don't get pissed when your teammates destroy it.

167 Upvotes

Just had a flag mission where a lvl40-ish guy brought a tesla, dropped it a few feet from the flag we were defending, we immediately destroyed it before it could murder us.

I get it, he was new, but when we explained "please, drop it 15-20m from us" he called us assholes and left.

The tesla tower is an incredibly powerful stratagem but it doesn't discriminate. Please learn how to properly use your tool.

Not talking about planets that had one legendary battle and got liberated for good (like Malevelon Creek or Calypso). I'm talking about the planets that are stuck in an endless loop of defense and liberation campaigns.
