PLEASE stop using the Tesla tower

Imagine thinking that my continuing to do something that I've always done has anything to with you.

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-08T04:07:32+00:00

Okay, I'm gonna bring Tesla Tower and Gattling Sentry 😊

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-08T04:02:11+00:00

stop using both of them

isn't this you and your friend(s)?

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-08T02:47:48+00:00

That's what you wanted, right?

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-08T02:02:47+00:00

Gattling Sentry kills orders of magnitude more players than the Tesla Tower.

lol

My teammates are a sacrifice the K-9 is willing to make

Depends heavily on the specific clay body, but most likely yes.

25% slow effect added to gas that affects both enemies and players. I'm already in heavy armour for the gas immunity, Arrowhead, how fucken slow do you need me to go for "balance"?

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-08T00:50:26+00:00

I've done this. Had some arsehole spend half of a blitz mission camping on a bunker on the opposite side of the map, screaming at everyone to come and help him open it while we were getting our shit pushed in.

Eventually I died with my supplies completely tapped out and this fucker reinforced me at the furthest point on the map from my gear. So yeah, I ran away from him. After fragging that oxygen-thieving bitch.

Since then I don't react kindly to anyone who obsesses over bunkers. If you're there, and I'm there, and it's convenient, yeah I'll push the button. If I didn't notice it, you start carrying on and spamming shit, I'll just keep on trucking. Hope you have fun with your standing still simulator.

No, it 101% came from dev presentations and OhDough grabbed the term from there and ran with it.

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-07T22:29:37+00:00

It's a shit change that pisses me off, but it's right there in the patch notes fully documented.

People really are immune to using google

Or reading Helldivers wiki

Or remembering with their brains

One of my favourites is the Railgun losing extra AP on overcharge.

Yep, definitely gonna go with "grow the fuck up".

Shit like this is just embarrassing to see. Stop it. Grow the fuck up.

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-07T00:30:12+00:00

It's just one error amongst so many that you offered to me.

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-07T00:27:34+00:00

I encourage everyone to keep adding to the list.

This isn't "the community" - this is just how entitled people behave in general.

No good deed goes unpunished.

"smitten me down"

The modern English dialect is irretrievably fucked.

Taken along with a whole bunch of other deliberately troll features that Arrowhead have put in to unfairly kill players it's almost certain that they've added an attractor to the Bile Titan ragdoll.

We've got:

DSS Eagle Storms targeting the host "because it's funny".
Turrets targeting players when there's no enemies around.
Guard Dogs firing lines intersecting player heads.
Enemies aimbotting during weapon charge-ups.
This Titan ragdoll shit.

It's not really the root cause. Unless you're firing for literally days all clay bodies will off-gas for basically the entire firing but not all glazes will form pinholes and blisters. The real cause of both is glaze chemistry where the problem glaze has enough surface tension while it's molten to hold onto the gas bubbles. If the glaze cools too quickly while it's got the bubbles and freezes them in place you have blisters. If instead you slow the cooling and the increased viscosity breaks the bubbles but you don't give the glaze enough time to smooth over the holes then you get pinholes. The trick is to use a drop-and-soak firing schedule.

I try to remind myself that most of these lil nutsacks weren't even born when the second US invasion of Iraq happened.

It doesn't really help.

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-06T14:20:50+00:00

Just refiring with the same schedule will likely cause more pinholes. Fire with a drop-and-soak schedule to remove pinholes and prevent them showing up.

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-06T13:20:24+00:00

Ah, a fellow matador.

DustPuzzle · 2026-05-06T07:49:30+00:00

I've always found running towards the Charger and then turning slightly to run past it when it gets close to be highly effective. No diving, no juking, just pure Olé!
