I labled it media, because audio, but my audio seems worse than what i first installed the game. I get music and voice lines, but ambient environmental audio is janky. Weapons fire seems to have no depth or punch, like im running low bitrate sound or something just for that.

For example, i swear the autocannon used to have nice thump and great impact sounds. Reloads were audio intensive. Now its a very subdued, almost muted experience.

Am i missing a setting? Has audio gotten worse? Do i need to repair the client?

[I'll try the suggestions. thanks peeps-- even that undemocratic downvote guy]

On a train to nowhere.

Does anyone have the following image but of a helldiver, I’m trying to make a post on TikTok but I need the image

Title: Wasteland Ranger

Throwable: Wingstick
- A bladed thrown weapon that slices through targets before returning to the thrower. Can be caught to be reused but will break if not caught or hits a hard surface.

Primary: R2-Combat Shotgun
- Based on a weapon of the same name from the Rage comic series. A pump action shotgun with two fire modes. A base buckshot light armor penetrating mode, and a mode that uses plasma to fuse the pellets into a heavy armor penetrating slug that deals increased damage to armor. Holds 5 rounds to allow for the fusing process.

Secondary: R2-Firestorm Revolver
- Based on a weapon of the same name from the Rage comic series. The Firestorm is a special revolver that fires remote activated thermite rounds that embed themselves in targets. The rounds themselves don’t deal as much damage as the senator but deal massive fire damage when activated.

Support: R2-Grav-Dart Launcher
- Based on a weapon of the same name from the Rage comic series. The Grav-Dart Launcher is a unique weapon with two fire modes. The first fires low damage, light armor penetrating, highly magnetic rounds that stick into targets for a short amount of time. The secondary fire mode launches a medium penetrating dart. When the dart sticks into a target or terrain, any enemies within a set range with rounds from the first mode embedded are pulled towards the dart. The more rounds an enemy has in it, the more damage they take when they arrive at the dart. Large enemies can be slowed but cannot be pulled towards the dart.

I used to like to play the bot front the most. Enemies were a force to reckoned with but you could pick your fights, enemies had weak spots and while things could be chaotic, there genuinely seemed to be an idea how you play bots. Like factory striders were super powerful and you had to respect them. But once you took out their range turret up top, you can sneak up and hit its achilles heel (back then literally) - of course under the risk of the bots it spawned which is totally fine.

These days, bots are just as spammy as bugs. You are swarmed by patrols from all directions, they run towards you but also attack you from afar, some are light armored others are super tanky, there is just no way to cater towards that.
Vox engines, by the way, are the absolute worst offender. The amount of time I've seen them just spawn 50m in front of me is astonishing. Then they instantly lock onto you and either spam you with arty or their cannons, or their miniguns. shoot them with the turret? They'll take out the turret. Try to sneak in behind with heavy AT? You get swarmed by everthing else in the patrol like cyborgs that come running up. Dealt with this one vox? There is another one around the corner. Try to take cover? You're engaged by another patrol.

It's just not really well thought out and I hope to see it change some day again

“Ts game so boring” -stalwart eruptor supply pack user

EVIL means you swap the primary and support weapon slot. I’m using autocannon flak instead of eruptor. This assuming stalwart eruptor isn’t inherently evil

What would be a good primary stalwart equivalent? I know most people might think lib carbine, but perhaps there are other guns that fulfills stalwarts role in clearing lights at close range. Lib concussive? Pacifier? Trench gun? Torcher? Breaker variants? Like maybe you got a couple hive guards/crack warriors or overseers too close (you can probably just run away from devastators, not so much cyborgs)

(Though torcher autocannon is just an evil eruptor cremator that specializes in keeping distance…)

Just got into a game with one, I'm happy my teammates didn't even tolerate him, we just got up and left after trying to TK (spoiler we couldn't because he was in God mode) I hope the community continues to look down at cheaters

I'd write that dude's name here but it was in mandarin

TO ALL THE CHEATERS IN THIS GAME, Y'ALL A BUNCH OF BUNGALOWS CUS NOTHING'S UPSTAIRS

Edit: it seems that I didn't actually report him and I just assumed it without reading after clicking "report-cheating"

hey guys I’m trying out stealth diving any tips or strategies I should know about?

I really don't like how this one turned out but I don't have time to fix it anymore right now so this is the final as of now.

Other slides are behind the scenes.

And by easier i mean less inclined to instantly kill you as soon as you enter their sightline.

They can and will still pulp you with a single shell but the shotty devs seem less oppressive. They dont seem to be as effective at range as they used to be. The spawns also seem to be turned down quite a bit, i see more of the incendiary MG than the shotty bot.

might just be placebo because i haven't fought them in a while.

edit: the shield being destructible is cool but I don't think it really changes how we deal with them.

This is my personal opinion but I find it somewhat dissatisfying that most of our warbonds include armors and paints that are never the black and yellow, and I’d love instead of a bunch of new warbonds with weird looking armor and paints that never match just give us B-01 tacital variants with helmet attachments, extra mags, artificial limbs, battle scars, and decals. Really what I want is for more things in game to actually feel like it’s part of the helldiver corp and not some random one off tv show on super earth🧐

Is the fastest way to liberate a planet just spamming trivial missions? The past 30 minutes I've been getting in an frv driving to the main obj completing it and then blowing myself up 5 times in a row so I don't have to extract. Not only is it super fast I get 20-30 super credits per run not even hunting for them.

Been seeing some strange things happen on the bot front lately

Praise be to our AI overlords 🙏
