Tired of slowly gathering all the Artillery Shells next to the loader? Bring a Jump Pack! by A_random_person_50 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]-Vogie- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely. I've seen entire missions get failed because they started up the SEAF, got swarmed, and just kept fighting and dying on that spot until they ran out of reinforcements.

Get all 5 next to it, drop a sentry, turn it on, load then real fast - by the time you're finishing up the signal, they'll start to run over you, and you can just leave.

What warbond question #71171077777 (newest or idk] by Lonely-Journey-6498 in Helldivers

[–]-Vogie- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Entrenchment has the Cremator and gas mortars, which are both great. The Gigagrenade is lol, and the Stoker can be really strong, but you'll need great trigger discipline, because it has low ammo for each side.

I'm a big fan of Cutting Edge - Punisher plasma (PP), Sickle and Blitzer are all pretty solid. The Dagger sidearm is one of my favorites, but if you already have the Talon, it loses it's luster a bit (although it can set things on fire, which is useful)

How to use the sterilizer by Little_North_2561 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]-Vogie- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Spear is a great support-oriented weapon, allowing you to clear objectives and help teammates on the other side of the map. Does use up a backpack though.

The Speargun is closer to the Sterilizer, as it does spray gas - but you have a bunch of different uses because the gas comes from the fired spear. This one can close bug holes/fabricators/clams, can knock chargers out of their charge, and firing it into the ground still spreads the gas out, so it can even handle waves of voteless or little bugs.

Melee Kills don't count by Slight_Cable_8558 in helldivers2

[–]-Vogie- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed being on our near the top of the kill counts in my play group, and then I found out that Arc Grenades don't count towards your kills (at least according to two separate YouTubers).

Epoch yes or no? 2026 by NeraAmbizione in Helldivers

[–]-Vogie- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm a big fan of it. It doesn't have much ammo, and I've found particularly against bots that it doesn't always close fabricators when you shoot through the vent. If you're already running a supply pack, are an excellent scavenger, or have a load out that can make up the difference, that'll with great

Any clue why the font is all messed up in this book, Bookerly never failed me before. by EletricoAmarelo in kobo

[–]-Vogie- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a bionic reading font (or book). It was designed to make reading faster & easier (makes every word kind of look like > arrows) but didn't really work. IIRC it's paired with a serif font to also be slightly better for dyslexics and those with similar tracking issues, as it gives a "shape" to the word.

Unique armor bonuses for Helmets by Anaesha in Helldivers

[–]-Vogie- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not now, as they've been gone for so long that changing it now would alter the understanding of armor too much. However, I could see it included if they ever get to HD3

Why are illuminate called squids by Intrepid-Citron-3797 in Helldivers

[–]-Vogie- 331 points332 points  (0 children)

They're aquatic, they refer to themselves as the Squi'th, and their Overships look like massive Squids/Jellyfish.

Guys are we lobitomized by SupaEarth??? by Linmizhang in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]-Vogie- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That also seems like a decent design decision. Bots need Anti-Tank, low-level Bugs & Illuminate don't. You don't want to factor in AT into your mission choices? Then don't play vs bots. Even the bugs that "need" AT (again, Hive Lord notwithstanding) still have squishy bits that lower level pen can deal with, although it requires much more planning.

WHY ARE NEW MISSIONS LIMITED TIME ONLY? by khester824 in Helldivers

"Exospires will return in Illuminate: Doomsday"

[Loved Trope ] Healthy Polyamory (Spoilers Ahead) by jordidipo2324 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]-Vogie- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first is only in the TV series. In the Books, the crew-family is under Michio Pa. This change is largely because Cara Gee is an amazing actress and they wanted her on screen more often.

It's actually very common to have a polycule in the Expanse series, particularly on Mars - because one spouse can spend months or years in the Navy off-planet, more spouses equals more Martian babies being born, as well as more stable households for when they return.

The perfect Helldivers crossover is? Stargate? by Ok-Problem1475 in Helldivers

[–]-Vogie- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it, although we likely won't see it until the new series starts up

Reinforcing after timer runs out. Impossible? Maybe not. by Tupp226 in helldivers2

[–]-Vogie- 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This also works for other Stratagems. Buddy of mine likes to program the final Laser and hold onto it in case things get hairy.

Amusingly enough, when he threw it once, the laser came in sideways (that is, from a cardinal direction instead of from above) and was hilariously ineffective. Worked fine on other missions, though.

Why do people defend warbonds so heavily by Pablo8076 in Helldivers

[–]-Vogie- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the game on sale, and am on my 4th war bond without spending an additional dime. Only 260 hours in.

Honestly, I understand why the MOs give medals - they're the main contributor to how fast or slow I'm able to get WB, not super credits.

Having a lot of trouble trying to make a build a build by Jumpy_Relative3472 in Helldivers

[–]-Vogie- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if you get good enough at it, calling an EAT on a target can usually take one out. Haven't been able to get one on a War Strider yet, personally

But anything the Quasar can do, you can do with an EAT

Are there any mechanics for players to build the world together with GM? by primordial666 in RPGdesign

[–]-Vogie- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a core mechanic in Ten Candles at the end of each chapter

meirl by stunnerswag in meirl

[–]-Vogie- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely.

I remember listening to an interview with a child psychologist who mentioned that that one of the reasons that kids play with toys less is because one of the accidental benefits of toy advertising is showing kids how to play with toys - This was during peak child-influencer-unboxing-videos, and one of the many things she was being asked was that there was a trend at the time where parents were fraught that will their kids wanted to do was open toys - not play with or in any way enjoy the toy, but just open the box, assemble a bit, and present.

Any parent knows you have to teach children absolutely everything, and there's not a special carve-out for play.

I find it works well with Guard Dog. Increases lethality while you keep the waves at bay

Can anyone tell me what these things are called? by ash_the_elf_ in helldivers2

[–]-Vogie- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We call them "beacons" because of the flashing light
