Grinding is the core of the game. Make sure to do secondary objectives and loot point of interest. Don't rush primary objective.
On top of your primary weapon and pistol you can also bring air droppable guns which you keep in a third slot. This weapon is arguably more important than the gear you spawn with.';

SG 225 breaker, P19 redeemer

This shotgun has so much rate of fire you can unload them on devastators and berserkers, just try to aim to their heads and reposition if they start stunlocking you to death.

Sidearm is good in a cluth against lesser enemies.

>Stratagems
Fire mines, mortar sentry, basic MG, Laser rover

The key here is to deploy the mortar sentry on the helipad and the first mines on the main crossroad a bit ahead since is an easy bottleneck and those klankers like to target the mortar.

You should deploy the 2nd minefield a the right side of the safety door where is an open space, just dont call it too close or dumb civilians will step on the mines.

The is just sprinting between the 2 civilian doors releasing them and holding the opposite side of the mortar and minefield, you can use the gatling sentry too but it eats up his ammo way more quickly because it tries to take down dropships with 0 succes rate

You can easily defend the extraction point with the mortar and the remaining mines on the crossroad, feel free to add another minefield if its up';

No, but trust me when I say that by the time you reach challenging difficulty you'll be fucking thankful for how 'slow' this game's movements feel.

I guess it's more of a thinking man's TPS. Being really good at fast aiming, 360 n0sc0p3 CSGO style, doesn't really improve your gameplay all that much. Positioning and teamplay is much more important. You need to know when to call in stratagems, which bugs to target first, where to place sentries, where to place yourself on the map, when to fight and when to run, etc.

Even something as simple as moving your mouse carries risk/reward implications since the crosshair trails behind your aim for a bit, especially with heavier weapons. So you need to think about whether switching targets is worth it. I already died a couple deaths to fucking critters hitting me from behind because by the time I turned my machine gun 180 degrees to face them they had already chipped away half my health.

And even when I managed to face them in time I was feeling bad for wasting machine gun ammo on friggin critters. But switching to pistol would have been even slower. Lesson learned: deal with fast bois first, and do it like twice as early as you would do in other games. They might be deceptively far away still, but they'll catch up with you sooner than you think.

Basically it has slow and methodical movement like a tac shooter but also the adrenalien and split-second decision making of an arena shooter.';

'>>1186954
>there is no downsides to not being around the team.
First one is obvious, you have less firepower and less flanking capacities alone
Second one, you lose everything on death, so even so people will bring you back with a drop pod you'll have to go back to your samples (most important and rarest resources in the game)
Speedrunning the map by splitting up might be more efficient if you're good enough to never die but people doing it will also be the ones whining in a week because they unlocked everything and are content-starved.

'Level with me. I'm trying to play stealth but every fucking time massive enemy patrols will spontaneously and coincidentally home directly onto my location for no fucking reason and it's beyond believable as random circumstance.

This past time I was in the Light armor in full prone crawl circumnavigating the actual edge of the entire map and hadn't called in anything or fired a weapon for several minutes. Lo and behold I look 90 degrees to the side and there's a dozen bugs walking in a straight line directly at me. I briefly consider that maybe patrols leave and enter the map borders and try to get out of the way. Nope, they turn to follow me even though I'm under hard cover/concealment and they don't even have line of sight.

That's diffusion of responsibility for you. A car on the side of a busy highway will have hundreds of cars go by before someone stops and helps, whereas if it breaks down in the middle of nowhere, the very first car you spot will most likely stop. Your teammates just want to conserve grenades and think "surely someone else will do it".

But speaking of which, I also don't really see the point of closing bugholes. Like, at higher difficulties you get a non-stop barrage of enemies anyway. I mean yeah, maybe there might be fewer of them if you close the holes, but honestly I don't feel that it makes that much of a difference, really. I'd rather be done with the mission quicker. The quicker you end it the less time they have to rip out your entrails.';

but it does not appear to be, even on the highest difficulty. In fact it looks very slow compared to similar games (darktide, DRG). What it most resembles from the gameplay is fortnite pve. But fortnite pve looks faster paced than helldivers. You are welcome to enjoy the game, but the entire community sperging over how fast paced the game is really makes me scratch my head and wonder if they have played anything fast paced before.
So do you understand I'm not having a go at you over thinking it is a good game, and it seems to be excellent given the reception it has received and I will probably pick it up in the future when all the issues are ironed out. The guy below is likely correct that Sony has marketed it in a particular way to get people on board. WOW ITS FAST PACED

'>>1190470
Maybe we both mean something different by fast paced then. If you mean "fast paced = Quake movement speed" then yeah, Helldivers isn't "fast paced" in that sense. But pacing isn't movement speed, and people don't mean it in that sense at all. When they say Helldivers is fast paced, they mean there's never a single moment of respite on higher difficulties. Like, the moment you clear a swarm the next one is almost on top of you already. It's a non-stop barrage of things that want to kill you. And they kill really fast. You're 100 % engaged in the game and are having a 30-40 minute adrenaline rush that never goes down until you extract.

Maybe this analogy will solve the confusion: A game is fast paced if you don't even dare to take a sip from your beer in between. You can do that in Battlefield or Fortnite or whatever. Hell, even on CSGO. But you can't do it in Helldivers. I legit got my beer to room temperature last night.';

'>>1190489
>Maybe we both mean something different by fast paced then. If you mean "fast paced = Quake movement speed" then yeah, Helldivers isn't "fast paced" in that sense.
No, I mean the players move at almost comically slow speed. The enemies are very slow. It almost looks like playing a tower in a tower defence game. Having stuff to do has never been called fast paced, that is a really weird way to describe a "busy" game. I'm with the other poster, marketing has decided it is fast paced, given big channels talking points (or included in their own marketing material) and now the community (you for example) are trying to say how the game they like is actually fast paced.';

When I was first told that harder difficulties are faster paced, the first thing I did was to go and consume content that showcased that. But it is about the same.

Imagine being butthurt over someone vetting a game to see if it will be suitable before playing it rather than throwing money at the devs. No wonder AAA perform well still with faggots like you who just buy shit without wondering/investigating, then, instead of being able to unbuy the product you simply bitch on reddit all day about the state of the product and how devs don't respect players (who buy it anyway).
There were a number of games last year I was interested in (as I played their older versions) and yet I was able to stick it to the devs by not buying them, since they turned out to be complete trash fires. Meanwhile the paying players bitches and moaned non-stop. Obviously this is slightly different to the helldivers situation, where the community is saying it is great, but that it is also fast paced, when it evidently is not.

Evacuation really should have just been the games first rendition of a Survival mission. Warframe does it well thematically where you're surviving just as a distraction for an undisclosed spy.

its part of the world building honestly. Your basic training was 5 minutes and most recruits die to the machine gun fire where they teach you to dive. Each time you fail to the machine gun in basic, it is another recruit that died in basic training. They tell you helldivers are elites, but they literally get a bare bones training and are shipped off to fight and then most die in 5 minutes. Then another fresh recruit straight out of basic is defrosted and dropped down. IF you read the contract you agree too when you cross the line to get the cape, it tells you that reading the contract is illegal. You are just cannon fodder.

Game does not hold your hand. All of that was basically by design. They have little in screen tips or videos on the ship that play propaganda to train you.

I think its all really well done. But this game blew up in popularity way more than they expected. So the developers got a lot of the retard mouth breather crowd. If you go on the sub reddit and sort by new, its a lot of people complaining about how they dont understand what to do or not knowing how to set up a microphone in windows.

Anyway,

Ive been really enjoying the auto cannon. It works pretty well for the bots. There are some issues with the bugs like bile titans.You can pop their sacs pretty easy and neuter them at least.

you should be doing both, killing shit efficiently to avoid prolonged encounters that waste time and drain your resources and using stealth to avoid useless fights where possible (patrols or even objectives).

'I swear I keep trying my hardest to like this game, but every single time I boot it up I end up wrapping the session in an absolutely foul mood. Inbred 40IQ teammates that 500KG the team, absolutely insulting pretensions towards stealth being an option that will actively fuck you if you dare to use them, constant fucking bugs everywhere and I don't mean the insects. Every single time I have ever played an ore survey mission, the probe stratagem simply fails to populate into my list, bricking the mission and leaving me to either quit or run out the clock and intentionally fail to at least get some samples.

The DMRs are the absolute hottest dogshit to try and use for their supposed purpose because they don't do enough damage for their firerate and even the specialized anti-armor one doesn't penetrate shit. It does slightly more damage though, so whoopee. It's actually a nerf from the base model because of the compromised handling characteristics and lower mag size while not actually doing its job any better. And don't get me started on how fucked the contextual environment navigation is. Yes, game, I'm running full sprint from a city bus on legs trying to run me over. Thank you for noticing that my hip brushed a waist-high metal fence I was passing and snapping me to it so you can play your fucking 'crawl over the thing' animation. Now I'm dead. Yes game, I was lying prone and sneaking around, thank you for noticing that my knee brushed a pebble and immediately snapping me to full upright posture in plain sight of the enemy. Now I'm dead. No game, I don't mind that sometimes I will magically vault 3 feet higher into the air to grab the same ledge I was previously bounced off of. Now I'm dead.

Every option I've been excited about using has just been one middle finger after another and I'm regretting having shilled the game to my friends because now I'm socially obligated to suffer through more of this with them.';

"ruined" is definitely a stretch, but the buffs/nerfs didn't fix most of the bad weapons or give a compelling reason to stop using the better ones, and fixing armor values didn't actually accomplish anything when they put armor-ignoring enemy headshots into the same patch, and I'm not even gonna talk about enemy spawn rate. As far as a first patch goes this was pretty bad, but there's plenty of room for them to recover back closer to the relatively good place we started at and then get better from there, and thankfully they seem to be aware that's what they need to do rather than double-down in the direction this patch went.';

My complaints aren't even things the patch touched. It's basic engine stuff like terrain being uncooperative while trying to stealth and weapons that can't do any of the things they're supposed to. I've had the tiniest bugs survive direct hits from the Diligence Countersniper. It can take upward of a magazine to kill larger things. It's useless against Stalkers.

DMRs are the largest caliber small arms a soldier can get before you get into things that straddle the line between 'personal weapon' and ordinance like the anti-materiel rifle. Why can't it kill anything larger than a medium sized dog? I'm even using the jacked up Countersniper variant that boasts higher damage. Some anon on /v/ recommended using the Slugger for the same purposes and he was absolutely right. A shotgun outperforms the DMR at being a DMR.

Best thing I've found so far is to run breaker(bugs) or slugger(bots) with the quasar for headshotting titans and chargers but if you can't get the space to get a shot off you're fucked.';

See in Helldivers you land, kill shit, blow shit up, leave. IRL military you land, stand around, watch the enemy set up but can't do anything till they shoot, and don't leave for years because the boomers back home don't want to "let the terrorists win."';

'>>1250935
Yeah I'm also struggling at the higher difficulties because all you do is kiting multiple titans + charger spam. Just forces you to focus entirely on anti large while I just wanna rip through hordes.
Wish they added some modifier for lower large spawns with increased smaller ones.';

I don't know what it is about the hell divers community, people ingame seem so mad about everything, they take the game way too seriously, coming from drg it's so disheartening. Every other match I join has people literally screaming into the mic when someone does something they don't like. The kick ability is abused way too much too.
>throw air strike well ahead of the team, 20-30x bug kills
>host decides to run right into it, gets pissed, kicked
>don't call reinforcements right away because there's a million bugs on your ass, carry hard, get the team back on their feet
>host is pissed yelling into the mic you didn't revive him fast enough, kicked
>put down sentry in an obvious spot
>host decides to run past it while it's shooting bugs, dies, gets pissed, kicked
>host that says nothing all game, nothing to indicate he doesn't like how you're playing, call in drop pod
>right before you get on, kicked

And my personal favorite,
>host dies, someone else calls reinforcement and brings him back
>he starts yelling into the mic that we didn't call him in in the "right" place (???), asks us to "own up" who did it, guy is full on raging nearly in tears
>team kills everyone then kicks the whole team 1 by 1, we had just carried him through 30 minutes of mission too and were about to call the extract

It wouldn't even be such a big deal if you still got partial rewards on kick like in drg, but putting in 30+ minutes into a match just to get kicked over something that's not even your fault and get nothing is such a slap in the nuts. I swear these people do it on purpose because they have nothing going on in their lives and the power trip of denying someone a reward after they spent half an hour carrying you is all they have to look forward to every day.';

Culprit for what? Calling him down as a reinforcement? Someone else on my team did it and the guy started raging and teamkilling us before kicking. You're not him, are you? Does your IGN start with a K?';

You know what, I actually take it back. Soon as you start playing in the upper end difficulties everyone is super nice, no one kicks, no one rages, no mic spam or screaming, people actually apologize and talk like normal human beings to each other.

At difficulties 7-8 I don't see the kind of behavior in that post anymore.';

I started playing on the weekend and every mic'd player I've run into so far has been friendly, haven't really run unto any really toxic players to speak of. My worst experiences so far has been joining random lobbies where nobody is mic'd and I get kicked with no explanation either after or during the mission. I've made it up to difficulty 8 now and been meeting nice folks at every level.';

After 2 months, I still like the game. People still play like retards compared to other shooters/games like this.
I dont really like the weird way the weapons are balanced, it feels like they are scared to make something to easy to use. The new battlepass is a good example, a thermite grenade and it doesnt kill a charger? Come on.

That aside bugs are the gayest, big giant bile spewers assassinating you because they make no sound walking up is stupid. And Ive watched Chargers get stunned and immediately break the animations and slide into you for a one shot kill. Totally kills pacing.';

i just griefed for the first time ever.
Nigger retarded killed me with orbitals 2 times and other players took too long to revive me so I waited till all the samples were gathered, then killed everyone in the pelican and then myself.
fuck your samples niggers lmao
I get the feeling once there are people who dont need samples anymore it will get way more toxic due to boredom';

'griefing in this game isnt that rewarding because you will just get kicked
waiting till exfill and destroying samples is the only real way
not that I want to grieve, but sometimes niggers just need to get what they deserve';

>a thermite grenade
I think this one like all DoT weapons is bugged currently. Most of the DoT effects only work on enemies if you're the network host which I've heard is randomly decided and different from being the game host.

Also I hate how confusing (visually) the armor is in this game. It doesn't feel consistent. Some bug/bot body parts look like they are less or more armored and it doesn't match up with their actual armor value and what weapons do or don't penetrate them. A good example is the warrior bugs with all the thick armor padding on front, medium shots penetrate it but it looks like it shouldn't while the flimsy ass looking bile titan head tanks shots from everything.

Explosives in particular feel weak as fuck a lot of the time but maybe that's a wonky hitbox issue. Sometimes it feels like a missile collides head on multiple times with a charger or bile titan head and nothing happens.';

'Patch when?';

'>>1264789
I feel exactly the same, I see people using the quasar cannon to great effect in videos and then I use it and it will thread the needle through enemies legs and do 0 splash, doesnt even chunk off armor from chargers.

Just the other day I saw a charger with a damaged ass, side, and front leg and it still took a solid minute to die.';
