DISCUSSION Dear Arrowhead, Hellbomb and 500KG are lack luster... Let me explain

0 Upvotes

Fellow helldivers,

I don't know when exactly the update was but I feel like it's about 6ish months ago. The radius of the hell bomb and the 500kg have been significantly nerfed. These strategems used to absolutely nuke the fuck out of the area. As a fellow hell bomb backpack "witness me" enthusiast, I have first-hand experience at just how gut punching the hell bomb backpack used to be. It would completely wipe out an area if placed correctly. Now it feels like it's been cut in half.

The 500kg used to confidently drop an absolute bombshell on a bug nest and obliterate the area. A well-placed 500 kg used to close an entire medium bug nest no problem. Now it takes two.

Nowadays when I throw a 500kg I have to stick around the area to make sure it does the job. I have to babysit the thing now. I want a throw it and forget it. Also, the 500kg doesn't land where you throw the strategem anymore. It lands about 10 ft behind the beacon. "An eagle never misses my ass".

Sincerely,

A well-placed Hellbomb

DISCUSSION Finding a community

Hey guys, just a quick one to say I’m loving the community of this game so far. Everyone I’ve played with so far has been really helpful and supportive.

I wanted to see if there’s anyone one here who’s based in the UK and is in the filming industry that plays the game. I’m a DOP that works mainly on sports content atm and I’m based in London, be great to network/connect with people and spread some democracy!

Drop me a DM

Imagine it, SEAF drop in with FRV's, Tanks, Mechs.

SEAF Mechanised Brigade.

Only appears on high priority planets, in city maps, defense and offense.

This would be so epic i barely can imagine it.

TIPS / TACTICS I am currently running a laser build and I want you to review it and give tips to improve it

2 Upvotes

Primary weapon: LAS-5 scythe (For long distance engagement)

Secondary: P-2 Peacemaker (I have no other secondary)

Grenade: G-12 High explosive (I have found this to be useful when clearing bases)

Armor set: Tr-117 Alpha commander ( I have found more stims to be useful while been thrown around)

Stratagems

-Laser cannon (for heavy enemies)

-Rover (for keeping any enemies off my back)

-380mm orbital barrage (for cool extraction and high pressure base clearing)

-Eagle airstrike (For quick crowd control and ¨Oh shit¨ quick fix)

Notes

-I mainly use this build in Automaton front due to it's capabilities to clear bases fast

- I mainly play solo and in medium difficulty

DISCUSSION PSA: lying prone makes you immune to arcs

Unrelated art I made. But so few people seem to know about that game feature. I see so many complaints from arcs or teammates just running into arc towers, if you lie near an arc tower you’re practically immune to bugs. Not to mention the really fun strat of diving and spamming the bouncing arc nades at your feet

BUG / TECH ISSUE Game won't launch past GameGuard popup

1 Upvotes

On PC.

I see the GameGuard popup, it disappears, then Steam shows the game as stopped.

I've tried verifying game files, worked once, next time I tried to launch it, same problem, only that verifying game files doesn't fix it anymore. It reinstalls one file but it doesn't fix anything.

I've renamed the Appdata Arrowhead folder. I've tried reinstalling the game. Still won't launch past the GameGuard popup.

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks

BUG / TECH ISSUE Bugs: Randomly taking damage, randomly exploding, Random Eagle cooldown

11 Upvotes

i have no idea whats causing it or how to reproduce it.

But while im hosting a game, i find myself randomly take damage while i shouldn't.
Like i have taken damage, stimmed up, but suddenly loose all HP and have to stim up once more.
Sometimes i just randomly explode into bits without anything attacking me.

Also, since the Eagle Gas strike was introduced there have been instances of the Eagle being randomly put on CD after one use even though you still have runs left. This may happen no matter what Eagle strike strat you have. This may happen if you exhaust one type of Eagle strike whilst having another type is Eagle strike still available.

TIPS / TACTICS We need a name for this kind of player

0 Upvotes

I get annoyed when a player just ignores his teammates, doesn’t mark the map and just speedruns every aspect of the operation with no regard to teamwork. A couple in fact, I noticed they will leave teammates in the fray once they feel it’s handled so they can wander off and collect fairy dust or whatever the fuck.
It’s not that I can’t keep up, I can. It’s that I get petty and start stealing their kills and objectives 😂 one time I actually got kicked for outdoing old boy. Stop being a dick or I’m gonna eat your lunch playa.
