I'll start selling Polystyrene peanuts IRL at 100 per packet of 10.... for Democracy

Against bugs? Tesla.

Gotta say MK1 has been my bread and butter, combined with constant slides, and able to do 100% heavy horizontals, nothing ever touches me.

Only 4 cool points for Railgun? my guy, it's a giant red laser point down from the sky and absolutely destroy the guy you want, it's like finger of god.

I love the EAT-17. Not only do you get to drop them constantly throughout a battle, it's also one of the only "shareable" support weapons. It's nice to get a second launcher, but also cool to let a team mate grab one up to, and before you know it, you can drop 2 more.

After the buff this gun is really good! definitely a skill cannon weapon if you’re good at headshots and recoil control this thing shreds

Super Jelly? You mean WD40?

They really need to give an option to switch out your primary weapon for some of the support weapons such as the stalwart or machine gun.

Grenade launcher is so good against bots because it can one shot striders from the very front two shot a shield guy even if you hit the shield(forgot the name) and 2-3 shots the chainsaw ones

My only issue with the game is that damn crosshair circle moving around, i never had that problem with other 3rd person games. Can't really enjoy this game as i would like to cuz that damn crosshair

A few problems that this game has that got to me are; primary weapons being shit (rifles, marksmen rifles, shotguns, more specifically the absolute shit nerf they gave the slugger, and just new weapons that were in warbonds) I fully expected the purifier to be good, but its just a shitty weapon. there will not be a single time you will ever use or need that weapon...so why make it in the warbond, why make a new warbond if they are all shit. The smg does similar damage and is more reliable than a rifle AND staggers enemies better than the concussive rifle, which I never use becasue it is so shit. On top of these issues, orbital stratagems are less powerful than the eagle counter parts, yea they can still be brought in and effective, but the 120MM having the same cooldown time as the 320MM is personally dumb. I kind of wish we could 1 shot a bile titan, or 2 shot if your aim is mid, like they display on the trailer, but that is not the case. The devs made a great game, but they quickly killed their miracle. I like that you can get the warbond without buying it with your money, but dam, this game is not a good time for me since they added useless shit like the air rocket pods, thermite nades that are shit, decreasing the dmg on EAT, etc. I hope this game does not fully kill itself bc it truly is a great game that got done dirty

No tesla?

The only way to make the heavy mg better is to make it come with a backpack full of ammo

I really hope they add a backpack that’s just filled with bullets that link to an mg your holding to increase its ammo tenfold, just more daka

I usually bring the recoiless rifle, and my team (randoms) will hopefully take care of the little bugs, so I can hit my shots on chargers and bile titans

I bring both the machine gun and gatling sentries at times. They fill the same roll and are good for drop and run tactics on bug breakouts. Throw in an autocannon and static mortar and you can set up a complete area denial with careful placement.

does the calculation for dps include different reload speeds that account for weapon uptime? or is it just "while firing the weapon". this sort of difference is important when comparing MGs to smaller mag size weapons

I mean, super glue IS *super* afterall...

I feel like they could use some upgrade in utility/damage/survivability tbh

I'm so confused, did they take the onslaught blessing out of the game?

I think the heavy machine gun needs to be thought more of a Swiss army knife then a machine gun compared to the stalwart and the other one that I don't like. The armor penetration is kind of slept on cuz that makes it useful against bots you can take out the back legs of the chargers if you get behind them making for an easy kill on those as well but most importantly the heavy machine gun can take out streakers nest from across the map cuz it doesn't have that much bullet drop. As long as you think of it as a ordinance weapon and less like a running gun machine gun it more than makes up for its slot and usefulness.

The fact the AIRburst Rocket Launcher can't kill gun ships is a crime against humanity

It’s not just super glue. It’s Super Earth super glue. 😂 clearly it’s made from things that we don’t understand.

Putting the heavy machine gun in E is just a lack of knowledge in how to use it. It's a mid B on both when used correctly

I find that the MG sentry is more accurate than gattling, it also doesent burn its entire ammunition as fast. AND it takes a break in between turns when going for a new target, saving even more ammo and reducing the chance of getting mowed down by your own gun.

Really fantastic. Nice to have all that info in one place.

You seem to for get the laser leaves behind a trail of fire Futher killing weaker enemies that make contact

I think the 50% reduction is actually bugged. 50% on a Helldiver (working correctly) makes any lethal explosion liveable. I don't think it's working as intended if it still dies in one shot. That doesn't make sense.

So this game tell us how intensive is a USA Marine squad firepower like with full air support

I like the EAT because I like sticking Beacons onto chargers, and I yern to stick a beacon onto a bile titan.

A note aisde from Armor penetration. Durable Damage Some enemies have "Durable" body parts. Mainly the Bile Titans Goo Sack, Charger Buttocks, and the sacks of nursing or bile spewers. I am unsure of durable damage present on any other units. Enemies who have durable parts are harder to kill with conventional weaponry, as their durable damage is often far lower than their normal damage. The Stalwart and MG08 share similar bug popping times. While the MG 206 launches ahead. Notably, explosive weapons do NOT have their durable damage decreased.

Has anyone tried the EMS followed by the 380? I'm thinking of trying that with the mortars as well.

Strap another autogun to the other autogun for more extra dakka

hot take: sentries should have unlimited ammo. almost all sentries will get 10-20 kills before running out of ammo. for a 3 minute CD this is dreadful, ANY single eagle stratagem will do this, twice before needing to go on CD, a gas strike ontop of a bug breach will reliably get you 20-50 on a 75 sec CD. half the time the gatling sentry will waste all its ammo on a chargers face, or get 1 tapped by a bile titan. given the advanced tech ingame (and that, it is a videogame) theres no reason the sentries cant have unlimited ammo, plus many objectives require you to move around the entire map, so once you throw it down and all those enemies are dead it becomes useless as you must run a marathon to the next objective. finally, it would help make defense missions more tolerable. it rewards you for good placement, protecting your sentries, and plays into the power fantasy of "HOLD THE LINE". Even with unlimited ammo, sentries still are underpowered, the smaller ballistic ones waste all their shots on bile titans and chargers, or get 1 tapped by a rocket devastator, or the strategem will bounce and land in an awful spot. they desperately need love

eagle strikes are WAYY better than orbitals right now, they gotta reduce the cooldowns or something for the orbitals...

1:56 this is a star fox reference btw, and a hilarious one at that

Listening on 1.0 feels unbearable. Mans is reading slow af

I disagree with using the Stalwart at 700rpm. When you crank it up to 1150, you can eliminate your targets faster, which is crucial to closing out encounters with the bugs. Bug breaches snowball if not dealt with quickly, and Chargers don't give you much time to hit their soft spots either. At the higher speeds, it becomes even more important to crouch/stand/burst to get the mopst out of each bullet. This is a blessing in disguise. By focusing more on your fundamentals, you'll train yourself to get accurate shots as often as possible, and have the DPS to reward your increasing skills. Supply Pack + Stalwart + Medic armor is one of my go-to combos, which gives you sustainability out the wazoo.

One of my buddies threw a orbital rail at a tank, we took it out before it could fire. Instead it switched targets and knocked out a dropship that was midflight going away, in the span of like half a second.

Does anyone want to gift me helldivers? I have $0.

i think you might have solved the mystery. +50% of nothing is still nothing. they probably forgot to give it resistance to explosions to begin with.

Unpopular opinion, but from what Ive been through with the rail gun, it sucks on Terminids, but KILLS on automatons. But personally, Im a great shot and can hit weakspots everytime

I actually do have a soft spot for the HMG, if I don't have to run heavier weapons I think it's surprisingly good for crowd clearing/overwatch when on bug planets, because there's usually additional heavier medium armor enemies like commanders and guards mixed in with the light chaff, and the higher armor pen lets you bludgeon your way through them without worrying about wasting more expensive rounds from something like the autocannon on any lighter enemies that get in the way I do think it needs a buff or two, but personally I'm not sure what exactly those should be, beyond at the very least a recoil control buff, because I should not have to tap fire to avoid my HMG's bullets attempting to reach lower planetary orbit the sight misalignment should absolutely be fixed as well, but that should be a given for any misaligned sights so nothing new there

I've had the game just under a month. I gotta say the grenade launcher at lvl 5 is such a game changer. I'd recommend any new player make that a priority purchase.

Who the fuck cares! Just play the damn game and enjoy it. Worrying about which sentry has fastest TTK. Its a fucking PVE game, get over yourself if you unironically watched this

Every weapon has a use, and specific situations where it's the best.

Today’s personal order, or whatever it’s called made people use so ridiculously many 380mm barrages 💀 I have never ever died so many times in a single mission
