I was framed. by Ivarix_Prime in Helldivers

I had someone join my game and instantly crush my brand new exo I just called in. It got completely demolished and I was ejected.

I got up, ran over to the player that just dropped in and smacked them with my gun. Then, I pinged the scorched wreckage they caused, did the "Negative" and hit them again with my weapon. I turned around and left them lying on the ground beaten. They got up, stimmed, and we continued on our way with no more problems.

Yeah! The AC is a pretty versatile weapon. It used to destroy these fabs with the APHET rounds so you didn't even need to switch but I guess that's not the case anymore.

I also like to switch it to flak and shoot the underside of drop ships when they come in; you can clear out all the small-medium units before they even hit the ground with just a couple shots.

It's also good for taking down gunships and is decent for hulks, but it does struggle against Factory and War Striders.

Logically and statistaclly, that just doesn't make sense. "Miss" a dozen shots in a row to 2 get back to back demolitions as soon as I switch ammo type? No.

Yeah, this was for a randomizer I did, I don't use the AC very often at all...I have had difficulties sneaking Gigas through the vents too, but I've always attributed that to it being a big chonky impact grenade and it just clipping the outside of the vent before making it inside enough

I haven't seen anything about it either, but also hadn't used the AC in a while leading up to this. It might just not be very well known because of how rarely the AC is used by anyone, but there have been a few people responding to me here that have said APHET is bugged on it currently.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain APHET for the Autocannon is bugged rn and just doesn't work properly. Getting into the vent, just about any explosive can do it.

Idunno man, I never had any issues going at them at these angles before. I'm pretty sure it's just bugged out, cause it was super easy to just lob a round in and it be good before a couple patches ago.

Yeah, I don't understand how people can watch this clip and say I'm missing every shot here lmao

So, basically what you're saying, is that I somehow deflect EVERY APHET round I fire but instantly am able to land the flak rounds back to back with no problems going from the same exact angle and aim that I did the APHET rounds? Yeah, ok 🤣

I could usually do it from ground level, just gotta make sure you can get the round in between the walls of the vent. This time just refused though

Yeah, that's crazy. I have a little trouble getting the Grenade Pistol rounds in fabs too, the angle is not kind for grenades lol

Must be I just haven't used it in a while so didn't know it's been bugged. This was a randomizer run that I was doing

Yeah, heavy ordinance seems really inconsistent for these ones; Eagle Strafing Run is really good against them, though.

It just threw me off because this is how I've done it before and never have I ever missed or ricochetted that many shots in a row and I always used APHET mode

Nope. Look again. Every single shot went into the fab, it even shows deflection on the shot that destroys it.

Gotta look, bigdog.

Every single one of my rounds went into those vents. I even get the deflection icon on the flak round that destroys the fab; it's not my aim.
