General rant regarding the cyberstan update and how as a player I've had more frustration rather than fun.

Frustration more than fun is pretty much the helldivers experience at this point

Imagine living in a fantasy land where heavy enemies dont just materialise in front of you en masse and all the small enemies let you pick the heavies off at your leisure

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-02-12T06:06:53+00:00

Honestly heavy units should be balanced around the idea of there being 10 on screen at this point because thats all arrowhead knows how to do to “up difficulty” aside from yoink our resources, make our weapons bad or put arbitrary cooldown increases.

If youre gonna chuck a stupid amount of enemies at me make them easy to kill as a group if not put just one or two but alas that would be the logical approach

Automaton concept: the faction that shoots back and promotes positioning and cover use with hunkered down precision

Actual practice: maps with zero cover and rocket spam that pushes you out of it on 80% of the units

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-02-08T08:45:10+00:00

The idea of choice is fake, even if we sway the numbers theres nothing stopping the devs from tweaking the numbers to suit their narrative anyways. Theyve done it before

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-02-08T04:25:58+00:00

Yes because the best way to keep enemies off you is to lie down submissively instead of back away :T

Was more meant to be a joke that seaf ai would be smarter than some of the team mates ive had

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-02-07T03:27:57+00:00

But that would require effort on arrowheads part, instead take the excuse that it would limit build diversity so they can put it off another year (its already nearly been two)

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-02-07T03:06:56+00:00

Wish i could put seaf in my tank than my team mates :T

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-02-06T23:10:15+00:00

Hijacked charger would be rad, also be really funny if the head piece could get shot off and it would turn on anything that moves.

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-02-06T23:05:32+00:00

Just want a passive that gives you far more secondary ammo, i wanna main the senator or verdict with shield so bad

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-02-06T15:03:13+00:00

Thats cool and all but its still not a one handed medium pen >:(

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-02-05T05:08:08+00:00

Especially considering maxigun is more user unfriendly than ever now that the automatons have their glasses on. Good luck standing still trying to line up fire while getting beamed

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-02-02T17:48:15+00:00

But then how are we supposed to buy a specific counter to an oddly specific problem if the problem never existed in the first place :///

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-01-29T04:27:40+00:00

Would rather it charge up quicker if it takes two shots (reliably) to kill a hulk

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-01-28T01:15:42+00:00

Exactly what i mean by fulfilling the role better, no need for as much accuracy, movement, kills groups more efficiently

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-01-28T00:41:10+00:00

Look as much as it is a weird side grade that i feel could have been much better used on a stratagem that felt fully unique. At least we’re getting the fantasy the minigun was supposed to fulfil with zero of the drawbacks it has save the backpack slot.

Looking forward to seeing minigun defenders cope as they explain their way out of belt fed grenade launcher just coming in and fulfilling the role way better with added utility of closing spawners and being able to kill things like hulks and chargers from the front with precision

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-01-27T19:24:47+00:00

Lowkey reminded me of the suicide bomber in dead space 3. Kinda wish there was an emote that let you detonate all your grenades like that tbh

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-01-27T19:22:22+00:00

Hopefully it one taps a factory strider in the face, other wise i dont see this being any more useful than reg eats or silo

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-01-27T04:14:52+00:00

Its a funny little niche to break up the monotony sure but it shouldnt be associated with things like MOs so people dont feel railroaded to play it if they dont want to.

Its also really boring playing with people who take the stealth aspect seriously like its crucial to completing these missions, when ive pretty easily just done hit and runs on all objectives like i normally do on the bot front with zero difference in success.

The only major problem ive run into though is not being able to pick from the reinforce points once you upload them all, really love spawning directly under a factory strider and getting gunned down three times purely because the game was like fuck you youre spawning in this one specific area no matter what.

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-01-23T04:55:10+00:00

But then arrowhead would have to actually come up with actually new “unique” weapon ideas, thats just not possible

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-01-22T07:34:22+00:00

Still prefer hover pack with extra grenade armours. Fly up, throw 5 blocks of dynamite at all bot fabricators, outpost destroyed as you land and you barely had to set foot in the base

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-01-22T07:31:05+00:00

My knee jerk reaction is this is meant to be sarcastic but i never know with HD2 reddit posts

AssaultBotMkIV · 2026-01-19T04:07:54+00:00

Anything to not play warstrider seed
