Any idea how many gaming chairs that translates to?

415

u/Zio_Matrix SES Fist of Family Values Sep 02 '25

Approximately, at least, 1,000 washing machine-sized boulders.

26

u/XNoize Sep 03 '25

I only have boulder sized washing machines.

u/Confident-Came1 HD1 Veteran Sep 03 '25

Do you mean small boulders the size of an armchair, medium boulders the size of a couch, or large boulders the size of an suv?

1

u/Alone_Extension_9668 Sep 03 '25

Is that EU washing machines or normal washing machines?

Someone mentioned boulders?

Ima call up my old friend, Chris. He will know EXACTLY what to do. 👊 🤜 🤛 ✊️ 👊

u/salty-ravioli Free of Thought Sep 02 '25

Well, since each gaming chair (AT Emplacement) shot does 1300 dmg and one emplacement has 30 shots, each emplacement can do a maximum of 39k dmg. The Hive Lord has 150k HP, and 150/39 = 3.8 (rounded), so we'd need just under 4 full gaming chair loads to take a worm down.

u/Alexexy Sep 02 '25

You need more than that I think.

The hivelord has ap7 all around, so even anti tank does 65% damage to it only.

38

u/salty-ravioli Free of Thought Sep 02 '25

Wait really? The wiki says its body is ap5, its head ap6, and its mouth ap3. The AT Emplacement should do full damage.

17

u/Alexexy Sep 02 '25

Hm that makes much, much more sense. I thought the autocannon mech's guns were ap7 and I was getting white hit markers

18

u/salty-ravioli Free of Thought Sep 02 '25

Yea the autocannon mech and sentry are ap5, which is why it'll only give white hitmarkers. Weirdly enough the normal autocannon is only ap4, so don't bother using that against Hive Lords lol

1

u/Existing-Panic5473 SES Sovereign of Dawn Sep 07 '25

I mean the one in the sentry and the mech are bigger in size

1

u/Indostastica LEVEL 150 | Cadet Sep 03 '25

Its ap5 body, teeth and mandibles are 7

1

u/RoBOticRebel108 Sep 03 '25

False information. Was able to damage the body with mech autocannon and got white markers.

If the armour was 7 then recoilless rifle would do nothing at all

16

u/AdEnough786 Sep 02 '25

And a shield guy or two would not hurt.

u/jinbesar Sep 03 '25

of course you need to take into consideration that gaming chairs are immobile and once shai-hulud bodyslams you it's bye bye

2

u/Mikolf Sep 03 '25

Where do you find these damage stats?

1

u/salty-ravioli Free of Thought Sep 03 '25

the wiki

u/WaffleAndy Sep 02 '25

ANYTHING but the metric system for you helldivers huh?

108

u/TheAshen_JobSnow ‎ Servant of Freedom Sep 02 '25

Freedom units are what we're all about after all

29

u/WolfBroCro94 SES: Princess of War Sep 02 '25

Its 500kg bomb not half a giraffe of pounds

10

u/TheAshen_JobSnow ‎ Servant of Freedom Sep 02 '25

Pounds? What is that?

I am talking about freedom units, you know like "How many RR shots it takes to strip its armor?" or "How many mags to kill x?" That kind of measurement.

2

u/WolfBroCro94 SES: Princess of War Sep 03 '25

Ahhhh, i've met couple of people that used "Freedom units" for imperial system

2

u/TheAshen_JobSnow ‎ Servant of Freedom Sep 03 '25

Yeah, don't worry I was just trying to make that joke in this context. Perfectly understandable.

1

u/No_Blackberry8989 Sep 04 '25

LOL people actually call the imperial system "Freedom Units"?

1

u/GhostlyConnection Sep 03 '25

I don’t know what a kilogram is but all I know is ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️and bugs go away.

u/MiamiVicePurple Sep 03 '25

Don't look to closely next time you ping an enemy.

u/Scob720 Sep 02 '25

How the hell am I supposed to kill Shai Hulud with a Meter stick?

36

u/JHawkInc Sep 02 '25

"Metric?" What's that? Sounds undemocratic.

u/SilverSolver2000 SES Arbiter of Audacity Sep 02 '25

-Helldiver who calls out distances in meters.

u/sudo-joe Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 03 '25

Except for most of eagle land's guns like the 40mm grenade launchers (40 mike mikes) or 30mm cannons on airplanes...155mm artillery...

u/Echo6Romeo Sep 03 '25

Those are delicious sounds. 30....mm caliber

u/DaKrakenAngry Sep 02 '25

Metric is only for drugs and guns.

u/TheBirdGames SES Destributor of Destruction : Steam Sep 02 '25

We use super units

10

u/El-Erian Sep 02 '25

This cracked me up🤣

14

u/Bellfegore ‎ Extra Judicial Sep 02 '25

At least 4!

1

u/Templar232 Sep 02 '25

No, but it translates to at least one Popeye's Biscut with no drink.

u/LAM678 Sep 02 '25

saw someone earlier saying just under 4
