Helldivers II

Oops, change my last post. Maybe giving up on my rail


At least in diffuclty 7+, my railgun is now taking 3-4 shots to open the leg on a charger, and that's overcharged.... wtf.

Takes 3 shots to the head to down them.

Kinda felt nice doing a lv 9 helldiver w/ just 3 people. Ya that new mission and that wasn't a fun mix.

I think they nerfed the difficulty a little too much at difficulty 7 - I played a few games and we never once ran into any "oh shit" moments.

Seems like each new patch adds a new bug for me to experience. Yesterday, I loaded up a game and when I landed I noticed my main and secondary weapon had reverted back to the starting guns. I've also experienced a few complete game crashes. Another odd one was when I was in a fight and running then the screen went black for a split second to just reappear in my ship. It happened so fast that I was still running. I received no "your host left" or "you were kicked message." Past that I'm still enjoying the game.

I can't figure out what I like as a load out now. Nothing feels right. So far Slugger, Airstrike and sometimes orbital laser and shield backpack are my go to weapons. I don't want to be reliant on the shield backpack so I'm not running it as much. I said a few days ago that people were saying the laser canon was a go to but I tried it and it was underwhelming or they nerfed it a bit behind the scenes. I haven't seen anyone else run it either. I tried the recoilless rifle and I wasn't getting one shot kills to the head on chargers but maybe I wasn't aiming at the right place. I did take out a titan with one shot though. I didn't try EATs.

I second orbitals need shorter cooldowns but I think it goes against their vision. Hence why they keep nerfing anything that makes solo play more viable. A one man army solo play would be fun if they would embrace it. They invision a team of 4 where everyone has a role to play and can rotate cooldowns. A guy who takes out heavies, one for swarms of light enemies, defensive, and support roles.

I think they should allow things like solo stealth gameplay. Why wouldn't you want multiple ways to play your game? You can do the payday 2 route where there is loud and quiet ways to complete your mission.

There are a lot of strategems that feel too underwhelming, some buffs would help. I feel like the autocannon should have a bit more armor pen, I don't care if it reduced damage but that would make it infinitely more useful. I saw a guy running arc and it was doing pretty well, I only tried it once and killed a teammate so I guess I'll try again. Some of the airstrikes could be improved probably.

nerf in 5. 4. 3.

Hopefully they are too scared to nerf anything after the last shitstorm.

The stun seems pretty short. If anything, it should be longer for callin attacks so they can actually hit enemies
