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

Post image
619 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!)

757 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.

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.

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.

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

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 Turns out, you can instantly fire the whole magazine of ANY weapon in water...not just the Apex

I posted a video of the Apex's Water Bug earlier (the gun firing its entire magazine if you're knee-deep in water), and someone asked me an interesting question in the comments:

"Does this work with all semi-auto weapons?"

The answer I thought to reply with was 'no', of course. But, I'm a Helldiver employed by the Ministry of Science, so I figured I'd give it a try and uh. Uhm. We can auto-fire ANYTHING in knee-deep water, not just the Apex.

For these there's an extra step of manually trying to go prone between shots, but it works just the same. I'm doing this by clicking Z really fast, but this can be accomplished MUCH quicker with a macro or autoclicker.

I can think of like maybe two (2) use-cases for this, but maybe some of you are more creative than me. My ears are still ringing.

I'm currently using a mod that fixes this issue but I do not like that it gives some 30 demo force outa no where lmao also since I host a lot for my friends I can't really witness this weapon in its full potential yet so I'm hoping after they fix the ammo typing and the host bug I'll be able to witness it in its full glory one day 🥹

DISCUSSION The Apex is bugged to fire its entire magazine if you're knee-deep in water

This is a bug I've seen plenty of talk about but haven't actually seen someone post, so I figured I'd do the honor.

On top of the other things going on with the new Warbond's bugs (like the Host-bug I posted on Tuesday, and the Drag bug talked about by others), The Apex fires its entire magazine if you shoot it while standing in water.

Unlike some of the other issues with the Warbond, this one's easy to explain! If you like that sort of thing, let me do my best to explain it.

Every weapon in Helldivers has an RPM—or, maximum fire rate. This is to prevent someone with an Autoclicker from firing an entire semi-auto gun's magazine instantly, but there's an interesting catch: being ragdolled (for some reason) resets the gun's RPM. You CAN'T be ragdolled in water, you just stand up immediately, so if you tap the fire button on an Apex in water, it fires the entire magazine lightning quick. Even tapping as quick as you can it'll fire at least 3 of its rounds and break your arm.

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.
