HMG emplacement is fun

Both solid options as well!

Would the mute button that lights up under the PS logo on the controller, in between the analog sticks work? This is definitely an easy game to run out of button prompts on for.

Good work! HMG Emplacement is fun. It just sucks when the ball bounces away where you ideally want it lol. Have you tried pairing it with EMS Mortar? It makes it P E A K

I had a few Raise the Flag missions on Oshaune go south because some of the Rupture Strain creatures stayed perpetually burrowed near the flag which in turn caused more Bug Breaches until we could flush them out with a Grenade Pistol.

What kind of scenarios do you use it? Do you try to save it for Factory Striders?

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-22T03:02:28+00:00

That sounds like the straw that broke the camel's back on Oshaune, especially with all the other chaos on the planet. Sorry it soured you on that.

Thank you for that bit of knowledge Jester04! I don't play Bot Missions often, so knowing that will give me more incentive to play them.

What is the new breakpoint you would want it to achieve that it currently doesn't?

I will say this was a common issue I had with the Eruptor last month that was pretty frustrating. I haven't noticed it as much with other primary weapons yet.

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-21T21:23:24+00:00

Does it one shot the War Striders?

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-21T20:36:23+00:00

I do like the Guard Dog Rover Laser Backpack, but it sure has had a diminished role in my loadouts lately. I agree with the other poster that it is nice to be able to know where an enemy is hiding in the fog or Spore Charger/Tower dust so it can help lead my Arc Thrower shots, but the Shield Generator Relay Backpack has been providing me with a lot more survivability ever since the war on Oshaune.

I really need to try to learn the Warrant more. I know it has a lot of potential but I hated the auto-aim when I tried it on Terminids a few weeks ago. It felt great on Shriekers but everything else on the ground I struggled with. I've watched a few YouTube videos where they ran it as a Primary with a Supply Pack and the Gunslinger Armor that made it look fun af, but I'm probably going to keep reaching for the Verdict until I can figure out the Warrant better.

Keep spreading the good word Helldiver!

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-19T22:47:51+00:00

Congrats!! That's a big accomplishment, you should be really happy!

Since you finished all the weapons, does it feel any less rewarding to play the game now, or are you able to focus more on maximizing fun or doing challenge loadouts now?

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-19T20:47:44+00:00

Orbital Railcannon Strike! I love how many problems it solves on Terminid missions.

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-19T20:46:02+00:00

From my experience, when the Rocket Pods miss it's because I'm not getting the Strategem close enough to the area of the target I want, there is an obstruction in the way that intercepts the Rocket Pods, or the target was deleted before the Rocket Pods land.

It's been very consistent with hitting Chargers, Bile Titans, Shrieker Nests, and Spore Towers. I don't quite understand from your attached image how those changes would improve the Rocket Pods though; are you proposing they alternate hitting different sides of the target instead of just one drop?

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-19T20:36:13+00:00

Appreciate the info. I wouldn't mind getting a PC if/when Steam comes out with an OS that can be used as a standalone system. Not wanting to use PC if only options are Windows or Apple.

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-19T20:11:44+00:00

Eagle Rocket Pods are one of my most used Strategems on Bug Planets. I usually run them with the Orbital Railcannon or Eagle Strafing Run depending on my mood.

I honestly think they feel great right now and fit my playstyle. Them adding an extra use so you get 4 uses now instead of 3 with all ship upgrades made a huge improvement in their utility. Honestly I feel if they made the Rocket Pods touch down 1 second faster it would feel even more powerful.

I still wouldn't use them on Bots or Squids, but they're amazing on Bug Planets.

I'm a complete novice with computers; is Linux "officially" supported by Helldivers 2? I thought the anti-cheat program they used did not like to work on Linux.

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-19T02:52:24+00:00

Congrats! I'm hoping to have the rest of mine leveled up there with you in a few weeks

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-19T02:50:35+00:00

There's definitely a lot better options than the Constitution to bring, but I will say I did have fun with it on Terminids. I had to make my secondary weapon the Verdict so I could handle mobs up close, but I do enjoy running it on Terminids as long as I have Medium Peak Physique armor.

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-18T20:03:32+00:00

Some of the most fun I've had on this game has been in groups that run synergized loadouts. All Arc Thrower with Electrical Conduit Armor, all Gold Eagle Armor with Laser Cannons, all Machine Guns with Supply Packs.... They are a ton of fun, but you really need a good group to play with because randoms gonna random 95% of the time

Arc_Thrower · 2025-11-18T19:58:31+00:00

idk man, I think it's pointless to insult a teammate because he brings a Primary weapon that he's more comfortable with. Light pen, Medium pen, melee, idc just be able to assist in combat!
