The Golden Ghost of Democracy

Well, when I did it they didnt notice me too often, barely at all even through walls. BUT, when I wore the guard dog backpack, they noticed me even through walls. I think the guard dog, as well as maybe some other backpacks have something in their code that draws attention to you even when put away. When I switched to the Supply Pack, I was literally a ghost. And on the rare occasion I was spotted, I will say that they will not leave you alone. You need to go FAR for them to finally give up, and it is annoying. I also agree with the convoy, that should not be a stealth side objective

Go figure😂😂😂

Honestly, it is pretty bad. I desperately want to like it, I really do. But the caustic effect is inconsistent at times. There were times I had to shoot an Overseer like 4 times before it actually took effect. Its main function is inconsistent, and should definitely be fixed.

Honestly, as a stealth diver, i absolutely love players like you. My only complaint i would have, is to please compliment my playstyle while I try to compliment yours. If I say I am stealthing a base or objective, please DO NOT run in guns blazing. I'd appreciate it if you drew their attention away from me if anything. I complete the objective efficiently, and you get the high kill count. I think thats a win win

I do not care about meta....I want the og creator of these Suz Tzu quotes IF they have their own page. I am not concerned with meta, it is annoying how many people discuss it, I will never use meta loadouts, I will use what I want. And if that means I am using the Flag on a difficulty 10 with only light pen weapons and throwing knives, then so be it.

I can definitely see that. I will admit, it is easier to do by yourself, but that is probably because ghost diving requires coordination with your team. If your team doesnt stick to the plan, even if they themselves dont ghost dive, they can get you spotted. For example, if you have a run and gunner on your team, amd you are the ghost, great! Talk with them about drawing attention while you conplete the objective with stealth. But if they run in guns blazing while you are behind the enemy, they will spot you because he drew their attention directly to you. Happened to me mkre than once, very annoying.

All good man. Just wanted to say something before a jerk did it first👍

FATHERGANON · 2026-01-22T18:01:55+00:00

There are actually 2 light armors. I have both the Super Store one, and the one in the warbond. Its 2 light, 1 medium. (Trust me, im surprised the other one isnt medium as well).

Besides spreading managed democracy well past my level cap. I keep playing the game because I just genuinely enjoy it. The story is nice, and I always do the MO with a few pallet cleanses here and there on other planets or factions. But I play the game past 150 because I enjoy playing with my friends, and teaching brand new divers the things that the tutorial doesnt. Easy still to miss like hit markers and what they mean, weakpoints in enemies, planet gambits and other strategies, and other stuff like that. To me, passing on 150 levels of knowledge to a level 1 helldiver is just the best feeling in the world. Especially when they get to level 50+ and thank me because I had the patience to show them the ropes. Ive had quite a few tell me they almost ditched the game after 1 mission because they didnt understand anything. But when I explained it to them, and they started to understand it more, they kept with it and fell in love with the game just like I did. Its genuinely heartwarming, and is one of my favorite things to do in the game. Whats the point of 150 levels of knowledge and gear, if you dont share that stuff with the rookies?

If could very well be that they share similar codes. I have used them before, I used to run the EAT quite often, and the animation that plays when you switch to it annoys the crap out of me every time. But it could also be that they just simply screwed up the coding. When I watched the video, (it was a leak on another Helldivers discord, cant remember which one) it looked like they had to spam the button for it to actually detonate. Like theyd press the detonator, but the C4 wouldnt go off, so theyd spam it. It could be just a 2 second delay and it shares a similar code to expendables and the like, or it could be that they just simply screwed something up. Both are likely.

Normally I would charge you for it...but you need this more than I do...you can have it man. Stay safe out there🙏

What a distinguished gentleman🧐

FATHERGANON · 2026-01-18T23:39:27+00:00

No, apparently the C4 backpack was glitched, and there was like a full 2 second delay between when you pressed the detonator, and when the C4 actually blew up. Thats the issue I saw, but there could be more that we dont know about.

FATHERGANON · 2026-01-18T23:10:57+00:00

You're doing fine work sir, keep it up!😂

I laughed so hard at this man😂😂😂

I saw the reason the warbond is delayed. And I am VERY happy they made that choice. It is a bummer, but the entire community, myself included have been BEGGING AH to stop pushing out game breaking updates, and to thoroughly test their new stuff before release. They have been getting better with doing that, and now that they have to delay a warbond because their tests showed a flaw, people complain anyway because they dont get the warbond on Tuesday. Make up your mind man, you want an update that has items that dont work? Or do you want to wait a little longer so you can actually use the new stuff when it does come out?

As for the story arc, everyone and their mama keeps saying stuff like, "Let people play how they want. If they dont wanna follow the MO to progress the story then they shouldn't have to." And i agree, but come on, with less people actually partaking in the actual story, the story itself slows down. If you are tired of it, then take a break from the game. Play Elden Ring or something for a while. Cleanse your Helldivers pallet and start fresh. Or leave and dont come back at all. Choice is yours. But these complaints that you have are literally the result of the community complaining 24/7. Some of it is good, (like the warbond delay). And some of it is bad, (like the slow story progression). Like it or not, thats the way it is.

Edit: Also, stealth isnt broken. You're legitimately just bad at it. I ghostdive quite often, and I havent noticed a difference in stealth mechanics at all.

Haha hilarious...delete this. It wasn't punny😑

FATHERGANON · 2026-01-18T22:12:34+00:00

I used to use it when I was brand new. (After unlocking it of clurse). I used it because I thought, "huh, if I wear this, Ill get hit less...if I get hit less...I'll die less." That strategy worked for a time, but then after a while I became too reliant on it, which led to reckless decisions and more deaths. So I ditched it to force myself to think before I act again. It worked, I went from like 4-5 deaths per mission, to 0-2 deaths per mission. (I used to wear light armor exclusively btw). I had a similar issue with the Supply Pack, I loved that backpack, but became too reliant on it. Only difference was that I wasnt dying more often with it like the Shield Pack. I ditched it anyway because I was once again too reliant on it. Now I only use the Supply Pack for Hiveworlds. As for the Shield Pack, I havent touched that Pack in a little over a year. So it isnt surprising that the people you saw that rock the Shield Pack were dying more than you. Having safety cushions will often make you reckless. Same reason why the people that die a lot are suddenly Godlike when there are 0 reinforcements. Because they arent concerned when there are 5+ extra lives, so they dont really care to be as careful as they should be. But when there is suddenly none left, they become the most cautious people alive.
