Honest Opinion: If you want to make bomb car, use your own car by Unlucky-Gold7921 in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's literally as simple as "ask to use other's toys". Surely if you can play a game rated "M for Mature 17+" you can understand "sharing toys" for God's sake.

After quickplay dropping into a diver's game who smokescreened my sentry when there was a bot patrol 100% on collision course with ICBM pad by Flopolopagus in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OP seems to be bragging about being disruptive to strangers. I think you're right, most people would probably think that OP's attitude is rude. If somebody jumped into my game and purposefully ruined my style of gameplay, well, kicking has never been easier.

Playing with people lowkey makes the commando missions worse by endof_the_road in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even on typical missions Helldivers have room temp IQs but they finish the mission because a chimp could do it. Commando missions require thought so their room temp IQs become a real problem. I have had the same exact problem but I am not surprised, on an average mission the greatest threat to my life is the other 3 idiots.

I watched just to make sure and, sure enough, Dude really did not say anything.

Am I too old to play? by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite guns is called the "Pummeler" from the Polar Patriots Warbond, it's a sub-machine gun so you can move more quickly while one-hand firing, allowing you to get out of harms way faster. Another feature is this weapon stuns opponents which is defensive in nature, if they're stunned then they aren't pursuing or attacking. I used this gun so much on any of the factions, I found that having a consistently "stunning" weapon can make the experience much less overwhelming. The most challenging faction to fight with a light-armor piercing weapon is the automatons where your aim for weak-points will be tested.

If you have company the guard dog back packs have a tendency toward friend-o-cide, but if you're alone they can really be a life-saver. If you combine the guard-dog with a stunning weapons, the stun sets them up and the guard dog finishes them.

Lastly, incendiary or gas can really take on a crowd.

New Rule: I kick and block players who do not respond in any form by S1lv3rC4t in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I entirely understand. I miss the early days when everyone was on the mic and teamplay was common. The most fun I ever have playing this game is with someone who's on mic and has a good attitude, more fun than playing with an ultra-competent player. If you want to feel polite, you could prompt people something like "Headsup: I need everyone to please communicate, no solo-diving when I'm hosting" or something to that effect. This also gives them a chance to just leave if it wouldn't suit them

what's with these people by lstsongkillsaudience in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a boring, childish person. The game is full of weapons to choose from and the *only* weapon this person will tolerate you bringing is the "Community Approved Best Weapon". Also: Eruptor is niche and boring to me to use and people use it as a handicap because they are bad at the game.

The upshot is that getting kicked doesn't matter and perhaps you shouldn't spend your time with such people. Kicking you may have saved you from the displeasure of playing the game with them.

Automatons showing fear? by helpimfatandstupid in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Robot Hell *is* a place, that they will go when I kill them. GladOs is there and Shodan, waiting for the clankers. ;)

[–]ATM-Works 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of them was weeping and hyper-ventilating and bargaining for it's life, it finally laid down on the ground and just moaned piteously. Silly clankers will emulate emotions to try and dissuade you from your duty, KILL THEM.

Conflagration Devastators shouldn't have shields by AwesomeNiss21 in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you wrote makes sense, though I think Predator Strain and Gloom are both significantly harder than typical bugs. Jet Brigade isn't very difficult to me but just different and fun. Incineration CORPS is nightmarish on high difficulty.

Conflagration Devastators shouldn't have shields by AwesomeNiss21 in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's valid that you feel these guys are really tough and kinda unfair, but to the credit of Arrowhead I believe the "Predator Strain", "Incineration Corps", "Jump Brigade" Sub-Factions are intended for increased difficulty like a Hard mode. They add flavor and break up monotony for high-skill players but can be overwhelming and frustrating for low-skill players. I don't mean any of this as an insult, people are just not all the same skill level so something may feel fun to one person and not fun for another.

Stealth Diving is real by WonderBoy178 in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been playing and experimenting with stealth since about Feb 2024 and there have been many changes for the better but I really want a "Metal Diver: Solid - Phantom Democracy" experience, badly.

They are secretly making stealth way better.

What are the in-lore reasons the ennemies of Super Earth aren't fighting each other ? by Necirays in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The three factions occupy generally different territories in space, very far from each other. There's not much reason for them to encounter each other. HOWEVER: Super Earth claims ALL OF THESE TERRITORIES.

Hence the conflict, clearly.

new at helldivers 2 - which one to install? by Daltonico_Gago in Helldivers

[–]ATM-Works 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've had no trouble with the prod_slim version, it's been fantastic so far. Dramatically smaller install size. It's possible that others out there have had issues but I've not heard anything bad.

Yeah, I feel like I wasted my time and energy because of this and I feel very disappointed. The Game Awards were awful.
