I have a couple: In Automaton missions if there are Anti Airs around they will fire at your Eagles. Orbital strikes fire from the direction of your ship (usually from the center of the map) You can draw patrols or groups away with grenades or explosions as they will investigate the sound.
Yes I love the orbital strike one.

The chambering one is so important with the Eruptor. It is technically just another semi auto that uses the bolt action chambering animation, which matches up in time with the minimum delay between shots, to cosplay as bolt action. The 2.4 second long bolt action chambering animation only has to execute if there is nothing already chambered. It is just filler during the 2.4 second minimum delay between shots at other times. So you can reload when you still have 1 or more rounds left in order to make it not necessary. (And if you reload with 1 round left then there is no wasted ammo.) Leaving only the 2 second magazine switch step of the reload. So the weapon effectively has no reload time if played right since the magazine switch can happen within the usual minimum delay between shots. Also you can just switch to another weapon or toss a grenade or whatever instead of actually playing the bolt action animation between shots. If they do end up nerfing the Eruptor, this behavior is probably the part that would most warrant it. Make it actually behave like a bolt action instead of the cosplay thing they have going now. Just have to make the bolt action animation mandatory in addition to the shot delay timer in order for the next shot to be able to fire. Also, the fact that the Eruptor is actually just another semi auto that happens to use a cheap trick to pretend to be bolt action is an unusual Arrowhead L on this topic. As exemplified by videos like this.
Very important to be able to shoot an eruptor shot, switch to another weapon or throw a grenade, then switch back to the eruptor with no need to do the fake bolt animation. Very much deserves to be fixed, I can't imagine it's intentional
There's an opposite to the retreat order at the end there. I was at estanu and logged in to be ordered to a new system because valient helldivers repelled the vile bug scourge
To be fair, the Stalwart is an open bolt weapon system. So even if the belt isn't finished, and you load a new belt you'll still need to rack the charging handle to the rear.
They all have this yet we can’t reload turrets for some reason Edit: after reading these other comments. I do not think we should be able to reload turrets.
@@markiplieristhebestpizzato2743Walk up to them with a supply pack and reload them like you would a squadmate. Maybe they could have it take up two supply boxes to balance out them getting more ammo. But then again, it's not like it would give the sentry turrets more health or anything. Doubt much balancing would need to be done.
Well yeah, Super Earth doesn't bother taking the time to properly zero the optics on a weapon whose wielder is likely going to die minutes after dropping.

See this is what irritates me. This game has so many beautiful qualities, but yet people complain and crap on nonsensical things. Stuff like this gets appreciated by the minority and its sad (imo)
yea, how dare people complain all the time about their game crashing non stop or enemies shooting through walls, certain weapons useless because their damage source isn't working or insta killed by unintended bugs. people are so unfortunate entitled for a game they paid for expecting it to work makes no sense!!!
OP said crap and nonsensical. Like wanting some OP weapons to retain its status quo and PvP. The ones you listed are plausibly valid reasons. Stop being silly.
@@kidd4551 They complain about the weapons not being all-powerful like they want them to be rather than getting good and learning that each weapon serves a different purpose, bring the right tool for the job you plan to do rather than expect a Sonic Screwdriver. AKA as the devs literally said to the complainers getting mad at their preferred but now nerfed weapon, "sounds like a skill issue."
Its because stuff like this takes time and effort away from the main stuff of the game. Yall to distracted by all the bells and whistles they spent their time polishing.
Because I'm a gun nut, the location of the Stalwart magazine feed disturbs me. An AK it makes sense to reach around and pull the charging handle on the right side. For an LMG, since most people are right handed, it makes no sense to have the feed on the left and reload like that. Why reach over the gun for the magazine, instead of putting the feed on the left for easier feed access and a slightly faster reload? Just a small nitpick on my end for the loading method and gun design.
@@OOZ662 IKR? Helldivers 2 is good in so many details, but some gun designs make no logical sense. The same goes for some reload methods that could be simplified.
From your ship, you can sometimes see blue and red stratagem markings on the planet below. Friendly destroyers will actually launch pods and orbital strikes accordingly to the stratagems.
The nice thing is most of these probably took fairly little dev time to actually do... but they took SOME, and they took care to actually think up and implement, and not just half-ass it. It shows that during development they cared about quality, and not just meeting deadlines.
On the chambering thing If you have ammo left, reload your weapon but then fire before the reload is complete, you can still fire that one bullet in the chamber even if there's no magazine in the gun
In the first game the grenades from the handheld launcher and the sentry could hit ejected shells from your guns and thrown stratagems. Had to be careful going full auto close to them czcams.com/video/036durtV_cE/video.htmlsi=K7L72DGFwtMAeSTY

So, does that mean napalm airstrikes fall behind gas orbitals on cold planets, while they’re more comparable on other planets? Additionally, does fire burn longer on hot planets?
i always wondered why it was so difficult to get it to work in game. Until you realize it probably wouldn't be great if you are mid fight and you throw a snowball at a hulk instead of shooting your recoilless.
Unless they changed it recently, the sky being cleared of ships was due to being logged in without starting a mission for about 2-3 hours not because the planet was taken. logging out and back in will fill the sky back with ships even though the planet should have no combat. that would also be why there are burning wrecks, they are the last of the ships to blow up for you.
The Stalwart technically shouldn't work like that, but it depends on how the internal mechanism works. In order for the belt to be fed into the system, most guns would need the first bullet from the new belt to be chambered. That being said, I was never a machine gunner IRL.
what i love is that instead of makng the senator reload faster, like add 25 percent to the speed multiplier. no. they added a fucking speed reloader, a little item yoyr character uses to reload the whole magazine when the gun is empty because it doesn’t use a spring feed magazine, but a revolving chamber
my favorite detail is when i reload my gun and i fire one shot then my character starts reloading for no reason, or the other neat detail where enemies walk under the terrain and start to hit you through the ground and you cant fight back
That usually means you interrupted the reload with one in the chamber. You fired off the round in the chamber but didn't give it enough time for the new magazine to get inserted
I see no big words, so in all probability, either someone who doesn't speak English as their first language, or AI script. But that's something you'd do for when the text is... plentiful. So yeah, probably bilingual non-native English speaker.
