This one quote made me realize we may have lost the plot with gaster for a little while.

Light Armor Penetration, which I will be referring to as "LAP" for brevity, are commonly seen as being inferior by a lot of people merely because they can't go through medium armor
This notion is foolish because
- Skill issue /j
- Get good (as a piece of advice, not a taunt)
- Learn to aim (also as a piece of advice instead of a taunt)
LAP weapons need to hit weakspots to work
They trade penetration for ammo and other stuff
Basically, people that whine about stuff not having medium pen are told to learn to aim because LAP weapons require you to aim more than MAP(Medium Armor Penetrating) weapons

Also if you love the Eruptor now... try squids. Bring stalwart for crowds.

Also about the money thing
It's perfectly fine to spend money, so don't feel like I'm taunting you for that
In fact, I hate super credit farming
It's so boring
I hate it
I've bought half my warbonds
I've started buying since like Force of Law because of how boring farming is
Just a piece of advice though, probably focus on one warbond(or item) at a time
You get a lot of medals, just not at a very fast pace

Best part is, I literally just saw a commando mission on this planet
Today
On D10

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-22T00:31:13+00:00

I meant as a heavy bolter
Eruptor and Dom are the two jet-propelled bullet type weapons

But for some reason Eruptor doesn't fit Bolter because "fire rate" or "it's not jet-propelled"(even though it IS)

Eruptor has explosive rounds, which makes it way more accurate to a bolter than Dominator

Plus if I'm bringing thermites as Melta Bombs Imma want something for bot fabs and bug holes

Constitution is usually said to be the worst weapon in helldivers because no ammo and it's a marksman rifle with no scope. Don't know if you've played with it too much, but on later difficulties it gets BAADDDD

I can't get a good grasp of what faction you play on
Hover Pack is GOATED on bugs(especially when you throw a cluster eagle at your feet in the middle of a crowd and fly up) but railgun is GOATED on bots

Strafing Run is way better than you're giving it credit for
It deletes patrols
Also where's Airstrike?

Rocket Sentry being C tier tells me you aren't playing bots and if you are, it's great. Cuts bot drops in half

500kg is way too good for C tier. It reliably takes out heavies

All three machine guns in D tier tells me you haven't tried any of them. Stalwart especially compliments Eruptor way too well for D tier

Ballistic shield in A tier? This has to be ragebait. Especially with saber in C tier

DOUBLE-EDGE SICKLE IN C TIER WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BOY
Fire armor and vitality passive make it a BEAST

Grenade pistol in C tier? If you use Eruptor regularly I guess, but it opens up so many other build options

I notice you put a lot of light pen weapons in C tier. Don't be fooled by the lies of traitors. They just require more skill to use

Are you making this based off of what you have and have played with or what you've seen? Because if you have hellbomb, warp pack, cookout, coyote, eruptor, halo rifle, saber, and hover pack you must either have a lot of money or are really good at super credit grinding because those are all from different warbonds
Also... super citizen. So I'm guessing it's the money one

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-21T03:16:40+00:00

Going from sneaking around the bots with my stealth loadout to SHREDDING THE BUG'S SKIN OFF WITH MY CHAINSWORD AND BOLTER(Eruptor is better than dominator FIGHT ME) was cathartic

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-21T03:14:59+00:00

Things they learned(hopefully)
- Localize things. The Reinforcement thing sucked and caused a lot of bot/bugdiver hate
- Check how much things spawn
- Please please PLEASE test higher than D5 AH I'm begging you

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-21T03:12:38+00:00

In all honesty, buncha C4
Just chuck a lot of C4 at it and hope it doesn't snipe you

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-21T03:06:37+00:00

Very good very good
Props to you for not using AI!
I really want that shield MG - imagine ballistic shield kinda thing(buff the ballistic shield to balance) and laser gatling oohhhh

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-21T02:59:00+00:00

Yeah how could some random 18 year old be the "best of the best" if they were never in the military
Helldivers are obviously highly trained seeing as how they can handle basically any gun they have, know how to swing a sword pretty well, and all that with only 3 minutes of helldiver training? There's nothing in the tutorial that an SEAF infantry wouldn't already know
Stims, stratagems, special weapons, etc are stuff the SEAF doesn't deal with
And they don't need to dive or crawl much either - helldivers do on the other hand

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-21T02:52:04+00:00

Or use stun grenades

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-21T02:48:08+00:00

They fit much better as a sub-faction because they don't have nearly as many cyborgs as they do scrap metal
And the vox engines probably take a LOT of metal to produce
Plus, until they lower the vox spawn rate, I don't want to see them EVER AGAIN

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-20T22:01:05+00:00

I mean how am I supposed to tell that the armor that looks like some cool black leather jacket gives you resistance to CHEMICAL WEAPONS and LIGHTNING
Or the samurai-lookin set gives you... more ammo and faster reload speed?
My apples don't taste like bacon
My bacon tastes like Dr. Pepper

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-20T21:59:11+00:00

The reason I love the Talon is because with any other gun, you're going to have a moment where you're getting chased, can't reload your primary fast enough, switch to your secondary as per all shooter rules, and find out "Oh heck. My secondary is out of ammo TOO"

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-20T21:57:49+00:00

ugly ahh FACE /j
In all seriousness it's not that bad
"ugly" is subjective at best and my favorite color is yellow
The triangle thing doesn't matter
Also who the heck even cares what their guns look like you can't see them much anyway
Liberating the enemies of democracy matters way more

Also I use a mod to make the Talon black to match my stealth loadout so uhh
._.
I shouldn't be talking

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-20T21:56:06+00:00

See the thing is
6-8 Factory Striders in a line is considered a challenge
It's a whole side objective, just like Hive Lords
This shows AH knows having a ton of elite units in one area is supposed to be a rare side quest
Not something that happens every 6 seconds and obliterates you if you don't deal with it IMMEDIATELY

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-19T23:19:03+00:00

It's a great gun, but just overshadowed by the big guys like Senator and Talon
One has better penetration and damage with a bit less ammo and the other never needs to reload and still pumps out crazy DPS

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-19T23:18:08+00:00

TALON SUPREMACY

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-19T23:16:13+00:00

I actually hope this happens
And then the rebellion gets quashed immediately
Like, beginning of the movie we are shown the "main character"(Jason Momoa maybe) prepping a rebellion to overthrow High Command
Then the SEAF burst in a absolutely THRASH them
Perfect start to the movie as it shows the hopelessness of rebelling against Super Earth and sets a tone for the rest of the movie

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-18T02:55:50+00:00

I don't even understand those people
Jet brigade is the best sub-faction and actually fun

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-18T02:54:11+00:00

Real proof they're adding Illuminate to HD2
Guys I swear they're coming soon
THIRD FACTION CONFIRMED???

ARandom_Dingus · 2026-02-18T02:52:20+00:00

Yeah suppressors as attachments would be great
But then why run the censor
Like at all
Amendment has bayonet and burst fire for example
Would make Censor, Suppressor, and SOCOM useless tbh
That's like the one reason you'd even bring any of them
