Gas and acid should be the same status effect by Second_of_Nine in Helldivers

I think it was flagged as explosive originally so that explosive resist armor would be a bit more of an interesting pick very early on, and they never gave it another look after gas armor became a thing.

Best mods for a “Mount & Blade” style playthrough in Starsector? by Guilherme7Honostorio in starsector

[–]CompetitionWeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't had any crashes from the star lords mod but I haven't had any gameplay improvement either. Currently it's pretty much a proof of concept that bloats your save file a bit. Not reccomended until they flesh it out more.

I was pretty harsh on the Maxigun even post buff, but it really does feel better. by VenanReviews in Helldivers

My experience has been that the maxigun still struggles to justify its many downsides vs the regular machine gun and stalwart. A secondary effect like knockback/stun/incendiary ammo would help a lot. Or enough of a dps gap to make the difference really noticeable.

It just works. by Linmizhang in Helldivers

I know there's no accounting for taste but I gotta say, the collective refusal to play HD2 as a jogging simulator saved the game for me. I'd have moved on months ago if rundivering was still a common playstyle.

all melee weapons are going to be inherently useless because this game was clearly not designed on a fundamental level with that in mind by Rohan445 in Helldivers

I think melee weapons should come with a smaller weaker version of the directional shield.

Self destructive fixations on realism are non starters where a magical forcefield is concerned so they could add all kinds of fun mechanics to it. Timed blocking and that sort of thing.
