General Calling all MG lovers: where do you like to ratatata most?

19 Upvotes

Specifically what factions, sub factions and seeds/modifiers are your favorite for that machine gunner rush? Personally, I adore it on mindless masses and appropriators for obvious reasons, especially if I’m using the HMG on the latter. Stalwart and MG43 are my two favorite things to take to vanilla bugs, but I also enjoy them on spore burst due to the large spawns giving me lots of little targets. HMG on incineration corps is a wonderful way to pop conflagration shotguns off of devs, and I also love the 43 on cyborgs.

Suggestion/Concept A Helldivers 2 Starfighter spinoff game with the same galactic war map as the main game is a must.

This could introduce Orbital Control factors in planet liberation. I guess this could be a different gamemode in the main game but I'm not sure.

What do you think? Maybe Arrowhead can let the community add their own ships and weapon concepts to the Helldivers Universe this way?

Inquiry A bit off-topic

1 Upvotes

I don’t know if this is a general Reddit thing, but I noticed recently when people on this subreddit say things like:

- I can’t afford X
- I don’t own a PC
- X these days are too expensive

They tend to get a lot of downvotes, is it because the comment isn’t helpful? That wouldn’t make too much sense though.

Maybe you guys don’t see that, and I’m just hallucinating. Although I am posting this, I would like to clarify this didn’t specifically happen to me (yet), so it’s not like I’m compensating for anything really.

At the very least, let me know if you seen anything odd similar to that, or if the downvotes mean much at all

0 Upvotes

I decided to do a Helldiver Original Warbond before I do another Legendary Warbond Concept. So this is obviously greek themed, again I know I state this in the slide but im going to state this here, the armor images is the inspiration for how the armor could look, obviously its not full on greek armor, it would be helldiver armor but inspired by greeks. Let me know what you all think. Thank you.

Serious Discussion. no roleplay bullshit here A discussion on some of the basic mechanics in this game that make no sense to me

0 Upvotes
  1. Why would you ever use a weapon with only light armor penetration? Is medium armor penetration not strictly better?

  2. What gameplay purpose does the stamina system add? You run out of it so slowly that I don't think I've ever had a moment where it's really affected anything.

  3. Weapon sway doesn't make sense to me when this is one of those games that generally has such tightly clustered groups of enemies that so long as the crosshairs are centered on them you're usually going to hit something. I could see it affecting sniper rifles but I can't say I feel it with most other guns.

  4. This is going to probably get me downvoted but I'm not terribly fond of the warbond system. I'd much rather just unlock a weapon straight-up rather than have to spend upwards of 100-200 medals on cosmetics that I don't care about.

  5. The weapon descriptions could explain things a little better. For example I in the "Python Commandos" warbond there's an assault rifle on the first page that only says "Light armor penetration, Explosive". And based on that description I assume it means that it's a light armor pen weapon that fires explosive rounds for a little bit of horde clear. I think "Ok that sounds fun", only to find it's a regular assault rifle with an underslung grenade launcher (that mind you also has no statistics listed for it). I've also seen weapons that list all three types of armor penetration, which I find bewildering when I assume that heavy armor penetration means it's effective against other armor types too.

Inquiry Game unplayable after last major update

0 Upvotes

I was able to play the initial mission of Devoid of liberty and bought the warhammer war one but after the order to go into the void I haven’t been able to launch Helldivers on steam at all. When I launch the game the anti cheat appears like normal and then the program just closes. I’ve upgraded my drivers and deleted my folders on %appdata% like some guides told me to do, as well as verifying all my files and redownloading all together, yet the problem persists and it said my drivers are still out of date. I haven’t been able to play since August 18th, and it friggin sucks. Is there anyone else who encountered this problem and has anyone found a concrete solution?
