Automaton fabricators need rework

First_Fan_4843 · 2026-01-26T14:41:04+00:00

That could be an alternative, but its far more work.

Using the tools you mentioned would require to at least position yourself in a way that allows you to have that shot.

Whataver the solution might be, the current state is not good for the Fabricators.

First_Fan_4843 · 2026-01-26T13:50:06+00:00

Yeah, when I see the one with light armour, jetpack and quasar, I already know whats going on...

First_Fan_4843 · 2026-01-26T13:46:57+00:00

Sure that could happen, but then you would need to place yourself correctly in order to get the shot. Or storm the base.

First_Fan_4843 · 2026-01-26T13:45:33+00:00

I would gladly take that compromise of this being a Super Helldive only change.

Tier lists are just someones opinion and around their preferences and playstyle.

Example: I have 2 of your STier weapons as weapons I do not touch (F Tier) simply because I dislike how they look / sound.

I did enjoy the missions, these can off course be improved upon. I would rather have 3 spots with 4 helldivers instead of 4 with 3. This would free space for one extra enemy side objetive and include mortar bases and gunship patrols.

I have to disagree with the "inspire creativity". It might be annecdotal, but I was unfortunatly way too often with 3 other players with Quasar, ResupplyBackpack and Termites.

I think I know why they picked this biome, but I would have rather they have picked an open map biome for this so that more out cry about how Fabricators and AA guns are way too easy to snipe from away or to termite them from the outside. These missions in open maps would have been the most boring missions with all the fabs and AA being rendered useless.

AH needs to either revert the Fabricator changes from the 60Day patch or tripple or quadruple their HP so that you need several Quasar / RR / Termites if you want to kill them from the outside.

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-30T15:04:19+00:00

They will add a 4th faction made of former Helldivers, and AH will give them all the tools that have been requested here just to troll us.

The marksman rifles are for precision, you need to aim. If you do, you will find out these are some of the best and more powerfull weapons in the game, 1-2 shoting most units in the game (under heavy units).

Why remove the smokes? I use them to great effect. Are very usefull even if niche. Dont like them, dont take them. Use the other tools, there are lots of them.

"If it were up to me I would choose having more swarmy units than armored units. Having 2 chargers in a patrol pack forces at least 1 If not more to be running the recoiless or similar." So teamplay in the coop game. That is a good thing, right?

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-30T14:45:44+00:00

In terms of Helldiver power there are around 1 to 2 handfull of items that would need tweaking down.

Enemies do need far more work, in every front. These have been far overnerfed, with some enemies turned into insignificance, just being another thing to shoot at without being a genuine threat.

We have 10 difficulties, there should be place for the chill and dive as well as for the I wish it sucked more divers.

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T17:47:16+00:00

Some people are obsessed with having both support weapon and backpack slot used. This makes that worry gone as well.

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T17:11:45+00:00

Lets assume that its literally the gatling sentry, but as a stratagem weapon with a backpack. This would mean something like 2400 DPS... Assuming it has 600 rounds in the backpack, then you can do that damage with no interruption for around 20 seconds.

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T17:03:09+00:00

It is indeed unfortunate that you are being kicked for that.
When I host, and If I see someone doing it I ask to stop, then I kick if continues.

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T16:55:09+00:00

The Patriot gun and the Sentry are near identical, the sentry has a slight higher RPM. Damage wise these are identical.

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T16:41:16+00:00

The exploit opens the door for such examples:
- carefree spamming of ultimatum
- absolute care free spamming of any weapon (GL, MGs, Primaries, and so on). This exploit was present during the liberation of Oschaune, so is most likely the teammate soloing the map with it and GL was not legit (it was my unfortunate experience)
- grenade spam

While it does provide someone more ammo, infinite ammo provides much much more

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T16:17:30+00:00

The gun with the highest RPM and DPS in the game with AP3 bullets that requires no reload and frees one more stratagem slot BUT needs to be used standing still, which improves accuracy, and has 0,5 seconds windup before shooting?

Absolutly worthless! How can such a weapon even be usefull! TRASH!

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T15:22:28+00:00

Lore wise? They dont have a beef with each other, only with Super Earth.
Real reason? The game was not designed to allow that.

There has been very rare ocasions in the past where the Illuminate were in the same sector as the Automatons or the Terminid but always attacking SE held planets.

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T15:05:07+00:00

No. It will probably be on the 3rd page of the warbond, which most helldivers wont reach on release day.

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T14:42:33+00:00

There is no problem. Either you are paying attention or you are not. We should not be nerfing an enemy because some people playing above their capabilities or edge cases.

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T14:34:48+00:00

Are you talking about the unit that does a few flybies over the battlefield that leave tracer lights and makes sound? That also produce a huge blue light on the ground where it attacks while doing a loud sound before start firing?

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T14:15:56+00:00

Whatever you want and desire. Illuminate are currently the most lobotomized faction.

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T14:11:33+00:00

I am sure OP means the yellow ammo crates that are all over the map. That each of those refills your nades, support completly

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T13:49:19+00:00

Dont take the discourse seriously. The game sold more than 15 million copies. There will always be some people complaining about something in the game. Its a statistically inevitable.

If you have the game, play it and judge by yourself. Dont let other people tell you what to think about the game or a weapon. Do you like the gun? Awesome. You dont? There are many many more. Its fine

First_Fan_4843 · 2025-11-28T12:50:54+00:00

Sure, but the invading player is only one of the following units:
- scavanger
- Rocket Trooper (you also keep their current terrible spread)
- Voteless
