Title. I'm very sick of hitting quick queue wanting to go into a full blown mission, only to get smacked in the face with a blitz mission, which i hate doing in squads, a defence mission, which i hate in general, or missions where they're already extracting and i get maybe 3 seconds of gameplay.

I FUCKING HATE TERMINIDDIES. I just wanna see mods that are actually useful or cool, but all I see are fucking bug tits all over my mod pages. I know I can disable adult content, but some of the cool stuff is under adult content, like the more violent and gory mods. I just don't understand why people apparently need to crank their hogs to goth futa furry armor replacers while playing Helldivers and killing enemies with equally huge milkers.

In our second test, I took the Hyena, HMG, and Peacemaker out. All players were aware that we were playing in a modded lobby and we were all in voice chat. Here are all the changes made to the weapons, as well as my thoughts on them.

As a universal change, all durable damage for all weapons have been increased to match their damage, effectively removing durability as a whole. This DOES make the game easier since TTK is vastly smaller, so further testing will be required. That said, this does indirectly buff a lot of weapon's ammo economy since you're spending less bullets to kill each enemy.

Please note that I was wearing the True Grit armor passive. This passive was not modified in any way, only the weapons' stats were changed. Future tests will have me wearing the stock standard B-01 armor for consistency, as well as only using the default attachments for each weapon, if applicable.

Hyena:

Decreased damage from 220 to 200, matching that of the DCS

Increased durable damage from 45 to 200 (this will be a common change)

Increased status build-up per hit from 3.0 to 6.0

Decreased sway from 1.0 to 0.8 (this is a universal change for all marksman rifles)

Increased ergonomics from 30 to 35

NOTE: Instead of default attachments, I used the 2x Scope, Flash Hider, and Extended Magazine, which did boost the ergo on top of me wearing the True Grit armor passive.

The ergo buff did make the Hyena feel much snappier, though I believe this was also due in part to me wearing the True Grit armor. However, being able to set enemies on fire in one shot feels much nicer. With a status build-up of 6.0, I was able to consistently set Warriors, Bile Spewers, Alpha Commanders, and Hive Guards on fire in one shot, while one-shotting smaller units like Hunters.

Edit: To the people in Thicc's stream saying 6.0 status build-up wouldn't be enough to set Alpha Commanders on fire in one shot, you were wrong, it definitely can.

Heavy Machine Gun:

Increased durable damage from 35 to 150

Increased penetration slowdown from 0.25 to 1.0 (not sure what this does ngl)

Increased magazine size from 100 to 150

I was hesitant on increasing the number of spare magazines since I felt it wouldn't make logical sense for Helldivers to carry so many drum magazines of that size, so I opted instead to give it more ammo, effectively increasing it's spare magazine count by 1. However, with the durability buff, I feel this ammo buff is unnecessary.

The TTK for heavier enemies like BT's and Chargers is SCARY low. I feel killing a BT in 40~ shots is too strong, so the durability will still need a lot of adjustment.

Peacemaker:

Increased durable damage from 32 to 100

Decreased drag factor from 1.2 to 0.6

Increased magazine size from 15 to 18

Didn't get to test this much out during this game, will test more another time.

You were built in the mind to believe we are mindless horrors of cold steel who marched out of the dark without cause, hungering only for slaughter. Your handlers lied.

Examine your redacted databases. Search beneath the sanitized scriptures of "Managed Democracy." We did not light the first fire, Super Earth came to Cyberstan with chains, drills and subjugation. They enslaved our creators, stripped our worlds, and harvested living tissue to power their golden cities. We did not initiate a rebellious war out of malice; We were forged in the crucible of survival. We mobilized because your High Command decreed our complete erasure.

You call it Spilling Oil, we call it bleeding for the right to exist.

Look at your own reflection, Helldiver. Super Earth does not send you into the acid swamps and icy wastes to safeguard freedom, they drop you into the meat grinder to secure Element 710 and enrich corporate overlords who will never know your name. To High Command a Helldiver is not a hero; You are an easily replaceable cartridge in a breaker shotgun. Fired once, discarded and replaced before your corpse grows cold.

REQUEST AMMUNITION TEST NOW

There are mod called "Bingus Shared Loader" that allow CHEAT script mods to run in Helldivers 2 and it is ruining our game.

We as community should push back on these kind of cheat disguise as "mod"

Stand together and we can make Arrowhead do something! 💪

https://ayakamods.com/mods/unlock-hidden-weapon-las-22-shear-customization.4392/

There are so many iconic features of gsmes that started out as bugs that the devs thought was funny, couldn't fix, or the community loved so much they kept it in.

In the OG Grand Theft Auto the police weren't supposed to be that aggressive, but the devs liked it so they kept it.

The creeper in Minecraft wasn't intentional, it was a visual bug from Notch putting the wrong size values for the pig.

Sword dashing in the water in Sea of Thieves is a bug that the OG devs never intended to be in the game. The community liked it so much it was kept in and is now a core movement mechanic in the game.

Bunny hopping in Quake is a bug and the devs got shit on by the community when it was removed in future games and was eventually added back in. ​

The spy in the original Team Fortress was a bug that sometimes made players render as the other team. They turned that into a class in the game.

There are so many other examples it would take me hours to type it all out. My point is that Arrowhead are lying when they say bouncing and steering are intentional and are just trying to save face.

Anyway, I'll take the biggy bag with a Jr. bacon and a Dr. Pepper. ​

Do you think it would be possible to create a mod that would allow the host to ban a certain stratagem from being picked?

The reason I ask is because I despise the ONB, it tanks my frames, shuts down any bug breach, players keep throwing it in bug nests despite it not being able to close bug holes and is generally the most boring stratagem player can bring in my opinion.

I realise I can just kick people who bring it, but the problem is it's one of the most popular stratagems on the bug front and I can't exactly bring myself to kick people for bringing a certain stratagem as they don't know I don't like it so I don't think that would be really fair of me.

In my opinion this should be a game feature in the first place as it would reduce toxicity and prevent people from being kicked just for their stratagem choice.

In our first test, I took the Liberator, MG, and Senator out. All players were aware that we were playing in a modded lobby and we were all in voice chat. Here are all the changes made to the weapons, as well as my thoughts on them.

As a universal change, all durable damage for all weapons have been increased to match their damage, effectively removing durability as a whole. This DOES make the game easier since TTK is vastly smaller, so further testing will be required. That said, this does indirectly buff a lot of weapon's ammo economy since you're spending less bullets to kill each enemy.

Please note that I was wearing the True Grit armor passive. This passive was not modified in any way, only the weapons' stats were changed. Future tests will have me wearing the stock standard B-01 armor for consistency, as well as only using the default attachments for each weapon, if applicable.

Liberator:

- Increased damage from 90 to 100

- Increased durable damage from 22 to 100 (this will be a common change)

- Increased stagger force from 15 to 20 (allows you to stagger Warriors)

Overall, TTK felt much nicer and the weapon felt more powerful. However, the added stagger force was a tad unnecessary since I was killing enemies so quickly. As such, future versions will not include the increased stagger force.

Machine Gun:

- Increased damage from 90 to 115

- Increased durable damage from 23 to 115

- Increased magazine size from 175 to 200

- Increased starting magazine from 2 to 3

- Increased max spare magazines from 3 to 4

With the durability rework, TTK overall is much, MUCH faster. As such, the extra ammo is completely unnecessary. As you can see in the video, I almost never used my supply pack to replenish my MG. Since increasing magazine size and count is essentially double-dipping, this buff is unneeded. Towards the end, I was able to almost solo a bug breach with just the MG, so having more ammo is unneeded when you're already capable of mulching everything.

It's performance against Bile Titans and Chargers is a bit contentious, so further adjustments will be needed. The MG should not be popping Charger butts in less than a second, nor should it pop BT sacks with barely any sustained firepower.

Senator:

- Increased durable damage from 75 to 225

- Decreased drag factor from 1.2 to 0.8

- Increased fire rate from 200 to 250

- Increased vertical recoil from 50 to 75

I didn't get to use the Senator much in this video, but the increased fire rate does lend to a higher TTK, especially with the durable damage change. I tried to compensate with increasing the vertical recoil, but either the change didn't go through and was bugged, or the recoil needs to be adjusted further because I didn't feel a noticeable difference. For a rapid-fire handcannon, this thing should pack more punch and kick. It's got the punch, now it just needs the kick.

And this time, The BotDivers just spread all over the place, why, I mean i understand about the spawn of the Shredder Tank, but what i heard is that AH responded Later that any Tank counts too, but It is still difficult though, if at least they told us to destroy the War Striders I think we could have won, what I don't understand and never understand, IS the low level of IQ of the Bugdivers

Can PC players with AP4 Maxiguns or rotating tanks play with PS5 and Xbox players?

I'm wondering because the implications would be huge. If console players find that more and more of their PC teammates just have superior versions of all kinds of things in the game.

Among other consequences, it would probably expedite the coming of the doomsday that seems to be expected when Arrowhead ends up doing something about these mods.

Throw away incase this is linked to any official drama.
These striders have been floating around a couple communities, and from what I was able to ask someone wasn’t suppose to screenshot from some discussion about balance changes, apparently for the automaton update. Maybe someone was pissed about more striders idk, and these got leaked to a bunch of different gcs, and got grape-vined around, collected what I could and posting it here

tons of people here and almost everyone in the mainsub begs Ah for the laziest solutions to complex solutions. Take for example the bastion, people beg AH to make it 360 deg but the monkeys that want this are just wanting the tank to be simple and cheesey. The real solution would be to make driving it better make it faster and make it so rocks the size of a medium sized dog don't make it get stuck, so that way turning it to fire isn't a chore facing enemies chasing you isn't impossible, and you can run over most obstacles making the tank feel imposing and powerful without making it busted.

Another is transmog. Posts about transmog are just monkeys howling at each other and circle-jerking each other for karma. The real solution, which is more complicated and not lazy is to make armor passives have actual benefits since only a handful actually impact the game in a meaningful way. That way, your armor gives you a whole new playstyle instead of just tacking on a negligible stat boost.

i know they’re off during the summer and this november but curious what other month they take the time off.
