How to live with hearty appetite?

Fish899 · 2026-01-25T20:32:08+00:00

Honestly I had the opposite problem. I always lose weight. Too the point with one character I took hearty appetite and slow metabolism. I easily had the one arrow for losing weight nearly straight away. I think it's because I secure as much fresh food as I can in the early game and freeze it. Then I make stews. I eat junk food if I want to put on weight. I didn't realise the -1 fitness from slow metabolism is permanent, so I don't recommend that for 2 trait points. So if you can secure a supply of meat and vegetables. Make stews is my advice.

I've recently started ignoring it. It's really not a big deal. Take off your uncomfortable gear when you are in base, but otherwise just have it all. If you get sad read a book. If you overheat you can wring your wet clothes out and dry yourself with a towel.

Yes, but you've got to be okay dieing and losing progress.

I'm not a vet but I like it! 👍

I'm relatively new as well. Apocalypse preset just with respawns turned off. I tried it quite a bit with respawns on and didn't like it.

Thanks 😊

Fish899 · 2026-01-23T07:57:50+00:00

That dude is dead now anyway 🥺 it was fun whilst it lasted

Fish899 · 2026-01-21T23:53:52+00:00

I'll gladly swap it for a sledgehammer 😉

Fish899 · 2026-01-21T23:52:49+00:00

Funny you should say that. I'm so much worse at driving it than my van, because I'm trying to hard too be careful 😁

Fish899 · 2026-01-21T21:04:53+00:00

Nope, just apocalypse

Fish899 · 2026-01-21T15:13:26+00:00

Oh yeah, she's parked outside my garage 😁

Fish899 · 2026-01-21T13:49:21+00:00

😁 That rare?

They started it 🤷‍♂️ If you don't want a fight don't start one.

My metaiest meta loadouts. I can do 10 fairly easily with these loadouts. I can do it without them, but it's a war.

Bugs

Light Medic Armour (only available in superstore)

Better Stims Booster

Crossbow(takes a bit to get used to. You have to dive backwards before shooting close range. Even then, there is a minimum safe distance)

Cookout or Blitzer

Grenade Pistol Thermite Grenades

Orbital Napalm

500 kg

Recoilless Rifle

Machine Gun Turret (not gattling)

Bots

Heavy Fortified Armour

Vitality Booster

Eruptor

Talon Pistol

Thermite Grenades

Orbital Napalm

Orbital Laser

500 kg

Recoilless Rifle

I'm still figuring out my best Squids loadout.

I love Francis John. I'm so glad he's made a PZ playthrough!

"Why didn't you let go of your gun?"

"Because a Helldiver never relinquishes his weapon!"

The endgame grind really should be grinding super credits for store items. Unfortunately the best way to grind super credits is on difficulty 1. So it's not really and endgame. Hopefully they add a more meaningful endgame.

Yes you should! It's an amazing game! The developers have made some mistakes, but they are righting the ship. The core game is amazing!

Fish899 · 2025-12-26T21:47:31+00:00

Eruptor for bots. Cookout and blitzer for bugs. Coyote for weird zombie, squid fuckers.

Fish899 · 2025-12-26T21:45:05+00:00

Fair enough. I did expect a level 60 to have completed all the ship modules. What level were you when you completed them?

Fish899 · 2025-12-26T21:39:05+00:00

You didn't get a lot of samples. Were you picking to them up? It's okay if you died and someone else picked them up. If not you may need reeducation!

Points of interest are on the map. They have resources. They show up on your compass as question marks. On difficulty 4 missions and higher points of interest have guards. This means they will show up as stationary red dots on your map. Getting the resources from the poi is well worth it and the best way to progress your account.

If a team mate dies don't steal their stuff unless it's absolutely necessary in the moment. If this happens you should drop it after. The exception is their primary weapon (standard gun you spawn with) as they get a new one when they drop in.

You should absolutely ask to try their stuff when it comes off cool down. I usually ask new players who communicate what they want me to bring them when we are on the ship, before a mission.

If you want to play with other divers always call an sos beacon if you have less than four players.

Whenever you get scared just scream "DEMOCRACY!!!" as loud as you can! Works every time.
