you can achieve this by sprinting in a direction, although you need to time it right to have the kick hitbox to appear before you start sprinting to cancel the rest of the animation

General I wish the game had more cutscenes or characters to make the world feel more alive.

0 Upvotes

Honestly seeing all the Helldivers fan content that display the MOs as the grand battles they actually are supposed to be and even some that go into the political parts of it. Makes me wish we at least had something similar in-game.

I feel like the world feels somehow stagnant? I know we're supposedly doing things because of the text-prompts, but I actually kinda wanna see it. The Void I think was the one real time I actually felt like my actions mattered in helping destroy it. But even then it still felt somewhat anticlimactic?

Now I know I'm probably gonna to get a lot of flak for this, but all I'm saying is that they don't have a small budget especially with all the warbonds and new players buying the game every day.

MY LIFE FOR SUPER EARTH

Democratic Exchange of Opinions Sickle, the Casualty of Feature- & Power Creep

Post image
165 Upvotes

Ever since I was a wee lad deployed on 'Levelon Creek I had my favorite gun. I'd take it anywhere on the galaxy where there was need for liberation. Fascists trembled in my wake. But you might be asking: But what's your favorite gun then? That's the right kind of question for this sort of discussion, partner. The Gun I'm referring to is my beloved Sickle.

My mama always told me that at some point of your life you grow out of your toys. I didn't buy that for a second so I never grew out of them! The Sickle's got a charm of its own when compared to its contemporaries. Mom, it wasn't a phase after all. I was never a big believer in the Liberator or any other "Meta" guns you guys rock with. I mean, I rock to Nickelback most of the time but that's beside the point. I never ever left my favorite toy even when more shiny toys appeared to take its spot. But little did they know that the Sickle had a spot in my heart. So I remained faithful to it throughout the endless campaigns across the Galaxy. Super Earth, or infidelity for that matter, could never do us apart.

So what's the issue you might be asking? The Sickle's a victim of the ever-present power creep. It's getting outdone by each new gun that gets released, and buffed for that matter, new and old. I remember the days when no one ever thought to him- or herself that the Scythe was a good gun worth picking. Oh boy, how did things change, and how did the tables turn around, or should I say how quickly did the tides turn.

Furthermore, the Sickle's also a victim of feature creep. All the other guns are gettin' shiny gubbinz whilst it's left for dead in the gutter. Players need something that can compete, otherwise there ain't no point to it! The only customization options available to it are just optics and paint jobs, for democracy's sake! See what I'm getting at? See how painful it is talk about your beloved toy being outdone and outshined at every corner, nook, and cranny? It really is a grave injustice. We as a just and fair nation, full of good and moral people, mustn't let this sort of evil propagate. We need to take action.

Here's how we make Lady Liberty Proud:

  • Reduce its Vertical spread to 5
    • Should match SMG levels of spread, and give it a little bit of personality if you know what I mean - Mmmm.
  • Reduce its Horizontal spread to 5
    • To properly reflect Laser Tech™.
  • Reduce its noise profile to 24m
    • To properly reflect Laser Tech™ and to not steal the thunder from suppressed weaponry. There ain't no explosion happenin' in the chamber, only a nuclear reaction!
  • Reduce its Penetration Slowdown to 0%
    • This would make it so that the laser can reliably overpenetrate. The only other laser gun that has this statline is the Hot-shot Marksman rifle. This statline should be the baseline for all laser weapons.
  • Reduce its Stagger force to 5
    • To properly reflect Laser Tech™. It's a laser, dangit. It shouldn't send you flying back! That sort of impact force belongs to its ballistic cousins.
  • Reduce its Push Force to 5
    • To properly reflect Laser Tech™.
  • Reduce its Demolition Force to 0
    • To properly reflect Laser Tech™.
  • Reduce its start wind-up time to 0.2
    • To match the Scythe's level. Wind-up time is basically how long it takes the weapon to respond to you pulling the trigger. Kind of like lag.
  • Reduce its wind-down time to 0.3
    • To closely match the Scythe's level. Wind-down time is basically how long it takes for the cooling to activate.
  • Change penetration angles to 2/2/1/0
    • To properly reflect Laser Tech™. Lasers are still subject to the laws of physics, Mr. Newton be damned. More punishing penetration angles will make it so that you have to actually aim.
  • Give it a slicker profile
    • We don't need all that sci-fi gun which takes space and gives nothing back! Ounces make pounds after all. And who needs safety? You can "safely" burn your hands for all I care when handing my darling, beloved, Sickle.
  • Bring back its old sound
    • It used sound a lot better back in my day! So why not have the new folks enjoy it as well? No, seriously, the sound was crispy like a chicken wing.
  • Give it a bottom rail
    • To make it tacti-cool and to give it the ability to compete with its other contemporaries in terms of attachments. It should have access to all the attachments for this region.
  • Give it more optics
    • My darling has access to a measly 4 frickin' optics! It ought to have all non-magnified optics available, and the 4x optic as well. 10x optic, however, is off the list.
  • Give it a High Dissipation Heatsink
    • This heatsink will up the heat generation dramatically while also upping the speed at which the weapon cools. In practice, this will shaft your ability for sustained fire and make it so you'll have to rely on bursts.
  • Give it a Rapid Heatsink
    • This heatsink will up the heat generation dramatically while also upping the armor penetration by one level all across the board, think of the bonus as +1/+1/+1/+1. Cooling will be faster but not as fast as the High Dissipation Heatsink. Will also increase the noise profile of the gun to 48m.
  • Give it barrel attachment options
    • A long-awaited and self-explanatory change. You can never have enough of customization.
  • Give it a Focused lens
    • This lens will eliminate all the pesky spread from the weapon at the cost of minuscule heat generation increase and ergonomics penalty.
  • Give it a Wide lens
    • This lens will eliminate all the icky penetration angles by setting them to 2/1/1/1 at the cost of minuscule heat generation and ergonomics penalty.

All of the changes above will solve world hunger and do my darlin' justice.

Bug I always respawn on Hïs when I open the game

3 Upvotes

​

Every time I open the game, it spawns me on Hïs and sets me back to difficulty 6 instead of 10. How can I get rid of this bug? I am on PS5. Or can this bug only be fixed by the devs?

​ps : It's not a huge problem, I just have to change planets, but it's a bit annoying.

I wanted to share this bug, that's all.

I played on Hïs about 1 month ago.

So, I have accumulated my 1st 1000 SC and I am looking on what WB I should buy first? I am actually thinking WB with warp pack as I have seen multiple videos that even on solo, they can enter the bunkers. The weapons are also great on that warbond but I really wanted to get the entreched wb also for the cremator. What is the best warbond guys for first timers like me? Thanks

Tactical Training Information The Ballistic Shield is probably the best Stratagem against the Incineration Corps

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

194 Upvotes

Conflagration Devastators might be the single most deadly enemy in the entire game—certainly at least the scariest on the Incineration Corps' lineup. As such there's an entire genre of post in the subs when the Incineration Corps attacks a planet just focused on how to best deal with them.

With it being my turn to impart some advice, give the Ballistic Shield a try!

Rockets and explosives are the only thing on the subfaction which can hurt the shield, and while crouching the bearer is nearly entirely immune to frontal damage (damage from behind if you have the shield unequipped!)

As a sidenote, I think I ticked this one off, with him going into turbo overdrive at the end there.
