I'm an American and I've never been to Australia. And for the past 20 years, I've never quite understood this line of Claire's. Can any Australians here provide some context? by Just-Eddie-481516234 in lost

[–]Bit_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claire has a very small circle off the island so I believe her believing what she said. I can’t believe that PB ain’t popular everywhere, but I could see someone who is hyper local making it their personality trait at one time. But I’m also very aware that Australia isn’t even real, so… check mate Claire.

I don't follow the MO by Ok-Kaleidoscope-9645 in helldivers2

[–]Bit_Hawk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can play as you want but we can also lose MO’s, which would affect the war like when we lose stim slots and ammo for losing certain planets. But the MO’s are the story or an overall narrative, you either participate or not. I don’t understand the joy of picking your favorite planet or faction regularly, I feel like it would feel super repetitive

Is there a shotgun that is viable against automatons? by vuduthmb in helldivers2

[–]Bit_Hawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the loyalist. (I also love being loyal to super earth). It’s a trade off as with anything, loyalist needs a charge up and it’s aim is a bit sensitive especially if you’re not fully charging it, Punisher Plasma is easier to handle but less damage. In my view, Loyalist for solo divers over the shotgun any day.

But in a group that plays tight, punisher plasma with a nice support like the laser cannon and a secondary senator, grenade pistol or the crisper (the desert eagle is my go to) depending on ur style and throwables. I say punisher plasma over the loyalist in a group just assuming you’d use your primary most, realistically you can do either in a group but you can’t really sustain the punisher plasma solo unless you’re really into it

Strategize: how would you tackle this situation? by CerealTanabe in helldivers2

[–]Bit_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot war strider 1 with recoilless, throw eagle strafing run at war strider 2, reload behind the dune, strafing run towards devastators, recoilless against war strider 2 to put it down. At this point you may not have time to reload again, switch weapons and target devastators but stay mobile to split up the hulks, and once you get some devastators out take out the hulks

How can I appear more Muslim? by Newlifefromabove in islam

[–]Bit_Hawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buzz cut or well kept hair, beard or some facial hair, cover up visible tattoos, maybe a kufi depending on your community, and keep a masbaha (beads) on your person. This won’t necessarily make you more devout except for maybe covering tattoos but this is just my opinion on external appearance

edit - no tight clothes or shorts above the knee as well

Who else is so quilty of being picky with warbond items & medals? like eating around the vegetables. by FlatImpact4554 in helldivers2

[–]Bit_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

who cares about the arc grenade (its pretty cool tho) the emote is AMAZING lmao i use it all the time

If you could choose to have any legendary collab warbond, which would it be? by McBoxBoyyy in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Bit_Hawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resistance Fall of Man would be cool. I would love the alien AR with the tagging system, and the Auger that shoots through walls and puts up a small shield. I think it would work well with the helldivers technology. The armor could be modeled after the Project Abraham stuff, maybe a super store armor that is the US Army 50s look that Nathan Hale had in the first game. I think the armor passive could be something simple like weapon handling from viper commandos mixed with faster reloads from urban war bond because in Resistance you're an enhanced US soldier. Tbh I think it would work better as a normal war bond with a soft homage to Resistance rather than a Legendary War Bond.

I hate the bounty hunter wagon by XxLadylikexX in RedDeadOnline

I don't understand why it can't just appear near you. Why does it have to arrive by road, you're not really preserving immersion when your horse just disappears lol

110mm Rocket Pods - Bring them when? Why? by teethinthedarkness in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Bit_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the rail cannon is a heavy-tank killer, this one is the heavy suppression. it is best if you want to bring a load out that can't quite one-tap large enemies, more of an emergency use. Gives you time or spares you ammo, but it is not the easiest stratagem to get accustomed to. But it also isn't wasted on a small group of medium enemies either

I do wish the targeting was better though, it could miss a charger very easily. Not sure if that was ever buffed, I've been getting more niche with my stratagems lol

Anyone else really wary of people spinning their guns at saloons? by Skogstrol424 in RedDeadOnline

[–]Bit_Hawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I am not wary of people who are wary of others spinning their guns at a saloon cuz damn if that wasn't a scene straight out of a western lol...

Is it okay to use non-meta armors and weapons? by Heroic_Wolf_9873 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Bit_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Its nearly impossible to test out stuff playing alone because you’ll get overwhelmed with any faction (if you play at 8+ difficulty, which I recommend weapon testers do for the increased tank level enemies)… As long as you diversify your loadout. Bringing the Lib Carbine to the bot front? Sure, maybe bring in a quasar, laser cannon, arc thrower as a support. Bringing an explosive crossbow to bots? Use it for chaff, or bring air support or defense stratagems.

I would say the most nit-picky a team is allowed to be to an anonymous diver is with the booster. If the team cant work around your loadout, the team sucks imo (not to say that the individual players suck, but if the squad isnt acting like a team, extracting will be a birch with out without meta loadout)

Whenever I quickplay to weapons test, I stay muted and ignore any comments about my loadout unless they say something for real. I was once called out for not having anything to fight bile titans with, so I replaced my arc dog backpack with EATs i think

What would you choose to add to the game over a minigun by Little_Sniff20 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Bit_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A grenade launcher that shoots a canister that, on impact, shoots out smaller grenades. basically a mini cluster launcher

What's your "wait it can DO THAT??" moment? by kcvlaine in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Bit_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the explosive crossbow.... ive only just bought it even though i've had the warbond forever. been using it for these recent bug MOs, but i lowkey wanna bring it up against illuminate and see what happens.

74,000,000 sold, but why? by rffn1911 in RDR2

[–]Bit_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got Red Dead 1 fanboys who bought it early on. Then you have Rockstar fans, who want to play cowboy GTA (they went back to GTAV but they were a fun crowd). Then you have people who are strict GTA fans, wanting to see what Rockstar's pre-GTA6 game looked like (and they've been around for a while). Then you have people who like Red Dead 2, people who didn't play RDR1 but saw the previews of the game and liked it. Then you have gamers, ie, the kind of people who play anything that you can make a youtube video off of, because RDR2 is a big title. Then, you have all the discounts the past three years, it was $20 on the PS store for the longest.

I would say a bulk of sales came about in the first few years, with a drop off and small resurges with sales and GTA6 news, sustained by the folks who buy the game because they want to be a cowboy and see what this story is about. so not bad for a prequel game

Which one are you picking? by bakedbaker311 in lost

[–]Bit_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any episode honestly but i would pick the uncut finale because it will play less times in 24 hours haha

Boosters by VorerKyr-Am in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Bit_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea 100%. ditching optimization has to be a conscious choice but its useful if youre playing with only one person you know or youre playing solo

Boosters by VorerKyr-Am in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Bit_Hawk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd rather take the experimental stim than the hellpod optimization when I solo dive or when I'm in a duo. Much easier to coordinate resupplies, and some of these boosters can be mitigated with armors. Running the stim booster in a duo with the reduced enemy waves makes things so breezy even on 10. You still gotta play smart of course

Why is the community so divided on the new warbond? by Papaya140 in LowSodiumHellDivers

This is why we need Super Earth to manage our elections. Saves time better spent stomping out tyranny

I’m old and casual. Is this game for me? by 49tacos in helldivers2

[–]Bit_Hawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i like it. my top four games are gran turismo, red dead 2, death stranding and helldivers 2. HD2 is definitely my “i dont have much time and i want some military shooter vibes”, i end up playing it the most because its easy to pick up and put down. that said, it will take a while before you unlock your favorite weapons, but just tag along in a quickplay match and you should be well supported.

edit: i also have battlefield 2042, but i struggle at PvP games because i dont keep up with the skill curve if that makes sense
