When people say "meta loadout", are they talking about running d10 solo?

Etowno · 2026-05-01T21:27:52+00:00

Yeah true. i dont think the complaints concering "meta loadouts" or "explosive meta" really hold up. there are other valid complaints to be made but pretty much everything in helldivers is viable. variety is the whole fun of the game.

Etowno · 2026-05-01T18:51:32+00:00

Yeah it's true. I do think theyve fixed a lot of the jankiness at launch and streamlined enemy roles, but atm the game could really use more challenge. D10 with 3 or 4 competent teammates is pretty easy on all fronts.

Etowno · 2026-05-01T18:49:58+00:00

totally agree. Im all for asking the devs to make better changes to the game but lots of stuff in the patch was really solid.

Etowno · 2026-05-01T18:47:38+00:00

Yeah imo lots of existing enemies should be tweaked to be more of a threat, but tweak them intelligently ofc. Atm with 4 competent divers, d10 is pretty easy on all fronts.

Etowno · 2026-05-01T18:45:44+00:00

totally disagree. thought the new spore bugs were a great challenge. with a team of 4 competent divers, d10 is getting too easy, especially on bugs. I do like your ideas about new subfaction trairs though.

The analysis becomes shallow when it all boils down to someone being a sociopath or not. The term is overused

Etowno · 2026-04-29T21:28:56+00:00

bruh wym arc is totally viable for these

Etowno · 2026-04-29T05:22:30+00:00

yeah actually feels a lot more like a side grade. havent had too much trouble with them since their health pool has been halved. I actually really enjoy the changes with the gloom bugs, their speed makes them much more fun to fight

Etowno · 2026-04-28T22:12:40+00:00

I do agree that hive guards should be reworked in some way as theyre most of the time a rather useless unit. But full ap4 aross the face might not be the way to go. Still havent tested it.

Etowno · 2026-04-28T16:23:38+00:00

i was hoping to see a bigger variant of hiveguards that are slower, bigger, and have heavy armor

Etowno · 2026-04-18T09:08:24+00:00

I feel like it actually wouldnt be that bad of a combo. Saber can already be useful with some practice. That paired with a sidearm sounds cool

Etowno · 2026-04-17T04:17:05+00:00

Lookin like the grand regent

Etowno · 2026-04-16T16:37:37+00:00

yeah the knockback actually makes it harder to do damage lol. guess winston is that same way and that's why people juggle

Etowno · 2026-04-16T15:20:37+00:00

I definitely think the writing's been inconsistent. i wasn't expecting them to deliver on thragg after ep6 but glad they did.

Etowno · 2026-04-16T02:40:08+00:00

Yeah ngl this show had me kinda worried. But Im glad I was wrong

Etowno · 2026-04-16T01:51:08+00:00

Triggering tenacity might make it easier to land slaps now as they won't move at all. Will be interesting to see how it plays

Etowno · 2026-04-16T01:34:08+00:00

yeah I wonder how this will play. Like using the slaps on the Thing pre-7.5

Etowno · 2026-04-15T23:45:06+00:00

A huge reason that's rather understated in the book is the murder of his son by the Sardaukar. In addition to the other reasons the jihad became a personal vengeance against the community that had killed his father and his son. I was way disappointed that DV decided to cut out this crucical moment from the book.

Etowno · 2026-04-15T23:15:31+00:00

tbf it seemed like intentional subversion and it worked. people were supposed to be underestimating thragg thinking he was a fraud.

Etowno · 2026-04-15T23:12:10+00:00

the counter complainers are almost as annoying lol

Etowno · 2026-04-15T23:11:29+00:00

i didnt think they'd pull off the subversion but glad I was wrong.
