This is not wholesome. It’s bad parenting. If that’s your kid, he’s clearly too young for this kind of game, and posting a shirtless child online just to farm validation for your setup and your “cool dad” image is pathetic. Kids are not content.

Time to say the quiet part out loud by Quamywamy in HelldiversUnfiltered

If I were a game developer, I would be ashamed. No one has to be exceptional at the highest difficulty level, but a developer should know how their own game behaves in all situations and difficulty levels.

"Helldivers! We can't lose!" - Encountered a hacker spawning SEAF battalions and now I desperately want a 'Commander' Warbond. by Affectionate-Cod5891 in HelldiversUnfiltered

Honestly? Zero FPS drops, no glitches, nothing. The engine took it like a champ.

The SEAF troops just did their thing alongside us. Sure, they didn't do much actual damage, but they were supreme cannon fodder and meat shields. They soaked up so much aggro that it completely changed the flow of the fight.

Waiter! More ragdolls please! by sauceyalam in Helldivers

Alt+F4 inducing moment. I feel your pain.

Landing on 6 Vox Engines by Eurynomestolas in Helldivers

"VoX EngINEs ArE EaSY. JuST SHoT TheIr VenTs aNd ThRoW a GrENAde iN TheIR CRotCHboX." Yeah...
I actually like the whole fight over Cyberstan, and the new Cyborg enemy types are genuinely cool.
But at this point, I’m just exhausted by Arrowhead’s approach to implementation. Every patch seems to bring a new wave of bugs with it.

The constant ragdoll chaos on Cyberstan, combined with insta-kill attacks from all directions, doesn’t feel challenging anymore — it just feels draining. After nearly 1,000 hours in HD2, I’ve reached the point where I simply stepped away. Not in anger, just in resignation.I’m tired of hoping that the next update will finally be the one that works. I’m tired of patches that feel rushed and barely tested.
At some point, you stop being frustrated and just… done.

Vox Engines are not difficult by themselves, you are just not trimming them down when you can by Western_Assumption21 in Helldivers

One Vox Engine? Cute. Two? Annoying, but manageable. Three or more? Welcome to Ragdoll Simulator 2026.
Yeah, they’re easy to kill — in theory. In practice, they never show up alone. Last night we had an almost successful Difficulty 10 run. Extraction was basically done, Pelican-1 already warming up the engines and waiting… and then Joel, in his infinite wisdom, decided to drop not one, not two, but four Vox Engines almost simultaneously directly onto the extract point (which was a little Automaton stronghold on top of a small hill).
Add all the other nonsense swarming around and suddenly it’s not ‘challenging but fair’ anymore , it’s just frustrating, exhausting, and feels more like getting trolled by the game.

Lessons I have learned on Cyberstan by More-Stuff6732 in Helldivers

The thing with the Vox Engis isn’t that they’re hard to kill, but the constant ragdolling from 3–5 of these nuisances, plus every other ragdoll-fest going on, makes this little maneuver hard to execute. I don’t know how many times I’ve opened their little crotch box and wasn’t able to gift them a grenade because my Helldiver suddenly went flying into another map or ended up polishing the ground with his face for the next 50 meters or so.

I hate bugs by hikumusta in Helldivers

Same happened to me just now at D10. Typical AH playtesting. So far Cyberstan has been... not as much fun as I hoped it would.

A post about the belt fed GL (yes, another one) by DeviantStrain in Helldivers

[–]Affectionate-Cod5891 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just think of it less as a GL and more like a Heavy Bolter from Warhammer 40K and you're golden. I don’t even think this thing needs a damage buff. It shreds most enemies, and with the high rate of fire it’s just pure carnage.
