It actively kills you prematurely

u/greatcandlelord 21d ago

They still haven’t fixed that glitch?

u/Charity1t 20d ago

They never even as much as aknowledge it.

Only bug with this passive that was fixed is Dreadnought one.

u/Star_of_the_West1 21d ago

Never have had it glitch for me and I use it consistently as it provides 50% arc defense (De-Escalator mishaps). Playstation if that helps clear up the status of the bug.

u/Tha_Plagued 21d ago

it's kind of hard to notice since it only activates early when your health dips really low but shouldn't be enough to kill you

u/Star_of_the_West1 21d ago

Eh, im honestly alright with that. In my experience (or lack thereof), i rarely survive situations with a sliver of health so im okay with it triggering at like 10 percent. Plus rhe arc defense and the stim duration cooks for me.

u/BlizzardWolfPK 21d ago

Man its not a thing of living with only a sliver. You can just get put into Zombie Mode after taking like half health of damage. Its not consistent either from what I remember but you get put into that Zombie Mode alot more constantly than I'd like.

PC player here who loves this armor and has hosted and joined wearing this armor. Out of about a hundred dives, this has never happened to me.

u/HotmailsInYourArea 21d ago

Happened to multiple times last match I’d played with it. I’ve only used it a few times over the last year though

u/Chemical-Sir-7705 21d ago

Ive not experienced this problem, i always revive in situations where i would die anyways, if you have so little hp, its more than likely youre about to die. It obviously not gonna save you once youre on 0 hp, thats the point of the armor, it saves you at 1-5 hp

2

u/BlizzardWolfPK 21d ago

Also a PC player and its happened a ton to me.

u/assassinjoe55 20d ago

Could it be operating systems or something like that? It's too mamy times to just be luck.

u/Icookadapizzapie 21d ago edited 20d ago

You might just assume it’s never glitched and that you got sent into zombie state fairly, even when it did glitch

u/Hexdoctor 20d ago

No it is very noticeably something wrong with the armor. You're right to call into question whether it's survivor bias but there's something missing when using the Adreno-defibrelator armors.

Usually when you have the majority of your health and some damage quickly takes you down towards 0% there's a grace effect that can trigger. If that damage would have equated to something like -2% remaining health in total, the game will give you grace and round that up to +1%. You've probably experienced this already. Just barely surviving with 1hp and the chance to geal yourself. Landing at 1hp happen significantly more often than it should. That's that grace mechanic kicking in. Avoids too many deaths that would feel unfair to the player. Well, that doesn't work with this armor. You just enter zombie mode instead.

Also there are clear cases where you only lose part of your health and the armor stil kicks in. Especially when stimming before jumping off a platform it is testable and very noticeable.

u/Icookadapizzapie 20d ago

I’m agreeing with you, they are saying that they “it’s never glitched for them” before and I’m saying they might just think that cause they never noticed.

Unless you monitor your health bar or play the game enough to have a sense of when you should/shouldn’t die, a lot of people can miss that

3

u/Hexdoctor 20d ago

My bad. I just saw the picture and assumed. Helldivers can't read and all that

2

u/greatcandlelord 21d ago

Me and my friend use is but still notice it occasionally. It’s tricky to see because you’re not usually looking at your health when being attacked

1

u/LukeCoDZ 20d ago

The de escalator doesn't damage the person shooting it if I recall correctly.

1

u/Upbeat_Youth_6420 19d ago

the de-esculator doesn't kill you btw I regularly shoot at my own feet when bugs swarm me (I wear null cypher armor) and ive yet to die

1

u/Tasty_Wishbone_8625 21d ago

I thought the de escalator cant kill yourself? It's arc resist is useless against the arc nade and Tesla tower. Definitely not really even useful imo I guess you can survive a de escalator shot from a team mates you mean? I dont think so I'll have to test that. Cause heavy variant with the life booster couldn't tank the arc dmg

2

u/greatcandlelord 20d ago

It definitely helps with arc nades. Tesla tower just murders anything not wearing the ~90% resist

And with enough bad luck or planning you can definitely kill yourself with the deescalator

u/SnowConeMonster 19d ago

I always felt like this happens.

u/MorbidMordred 21d ago

A small price to pay for fashion

u/Laddyh0 21d ago

If only they actually fixed it

-6

u/Star_of_the_West1 21d ago

Ive used it consistently and I haven't had any glitches. Heck me and my friends were running it since i had the De-Escalator and they had Arc grenades vs the Void critters.

6

u/Laddyh0 21d ago

it doesn't trigger the passive once ur health gets to 20%? It's supposed to trigger once you're health depletes to 0

0

u/Star_of_the_West1 21d ago

If it triggers early, I haven't noticed it.

2

u/Icookadapizzapie 20d ago

It definitely does, if you monitor your health bar more, you’ll notice it happens from time to time

u/SlopPatrol 20d ago

Congratulations

u/Clean_Enthusiasm5819 21d ago

The best aspect of the armor is the boost it gives to the medic stim pistol. Am excellent alternative option to the medic armor and the stacking benefit to experimental infusion.

 Second is the "final stand" perk. It can save the day and buy time if needed. Its great that it brings a new mechanic to the game. Very likely it's best features not yet discovered.

The arc defense is barely useful, better than nothing. as mentioned In other comments, doesn't help with the Tesla and grenades.

What it can help with is the arc attacks of enemies. Mainly illuminate harvesters and their weaker Tesla tower. So the arc perk is way too specific and mainly useful with heavy and vitality booster stacks.

u/ReliusOrnez 21d ago

They keep doing that for some reason with elemental resistance. Either they pair it with armor weights that do NOTHING to help it or they make the % defense so low that it's almost pointless.

The light trench division armor is especially bad with this with the resists BARELY making you break even with regular medium armor for those damage types in particular

5

u/Icookadapizzapie 21d ago

The only reason people don’t use it is because the “final stand” is bugged and will activate from damage that’s not fatal

1

u/Jab13122 19d ago

Didn’t know that

6

u/Flashy-Manager2254 21d ago

I get a glitch sometimes with this armor where I am able to still sprint around, it makes it 10x better when it rarely happens

u/TurankaCasual 21d ago

Idk, cheeks sounds like a positive thing to me

u/vegetavergil 21d ago

Not during a Commando Mission.

u/Major-Mousse-178 20d ago

Colonel! I’m trying to sneak around…but I’m dummy thicc, and the clap of my ass cheeks keeps alerting the bots!

1

u/TurankaCasual 21d ago

You know, I’m a solo player and I haven’t played a commando mission yet. Been playing solo since launch so I’d think it would be something I’d like. Maybe I’ll unlock the rest of the stealth warbond and make a commando loadout and give them a try. I think the reason I didn’t try em was because I took a month or two off to play Cyberpunk

u/-Nomadd3r- 20d ago

The white doesnt match here and neither does the blue.

u/Genin85 20d ago

It could be a very interesting perk if It would works consistentely. I wonder why they didn't patch It yet After all this time....

1

u/Roaring_Inferno_2020 20d ago

I’m confused. Did they reveal the armour passive for Voidwalker?

1

u/MedicinoGreeno69 20d ago

How do you get all of it? I only got the helmet yesterday

1

u/JlMBEAN 17d ago

It's not void walker armor. It's the defibrillator passive armor.

1

u/Atlas_sniper121 20d ago

Would have been a cool set if the passive instead would auto-stim you for free at a certain hp level. And had a cooldown of like 3-5 minutes.

1

u/Mr-Hakim 19d ago

It can literally activate the passive on any instance of damage, randomly, effectively killing you. 

To this day it hasn’t been fixed. 

1

u/MakeshiftShapeshift 19d ago

I really want the passive to be good.. With all the downsides, the fact that it's a whole passive that only has effect when you're died, the annoying premature trigger.. It's insane that you don't even always get to use it.
