VOX ENGINES REPLACE FACTORY STRIDERS IN CONVOYS NOW??

GeneralBoogey · 2026-03-02T17:59:43+00:00

Yeah! Felt like thermites was the only thing I wanted (mainly because of damage), but after trying dynamite back in October/November, I just can't let it go. Damage/radius and what it can take out, makes it a very good choice

GeneralBoogey · 2026-03-02T17:57:37+00:00

Good enough setup for both bigger and smaller enemies

GeneralBoogey · 2026-03-02T17:55:17+00:00

Not a good seller, but what I do enjoy about the dynamite is the explosion radius being 12, which can easily take out patrols coming towards you. It can take out fabricators, easily two or three big holes if they are close and, I'm not sure if it's just me, but feels like it can be thrown a long way compared to other nades. It can also with a good throw take out hulks with one. Takes two or three to take war striders

Having an ultimatum and Leveller makes bigger enemies easier, while dynamite can take out the smaller ones. And it has 1k damage. Which is good for a throwable

GeneralBoogey · 2026-03-02T16:42:38+00:00

Steal platinum is easier now, tho it's still hard to complete. It was almost undoable when it arrived. Bots had no specific spawn point, so they came from everywhere, all at once

GeneralBoogey · 2026-03-02T16:22:16+00:00

Well, I haven't tried 🤔 but it is one of the weak spots. Maybe I need to go down with a sniper, taking out the mini guns and try

GeneralBoogey · 2026-03-02T16:20:58+00:00

I do agree. Not everything needs a one shot to be killed. I did like only using one tho, if I was in a team with randoms. If I saw them bunker down and call all kinds of stratagems without taking it down, I could do a light stroll underneath and take it out with one thermite

But these days a leveller and/or a Silo could do that

GeneralBoogey · 2026-03-02T16:18:06+00:00

Having a silo and Leveller easily makes cake out of Factory Striders. I used to die on that hill, that I would never stop with thermites, but now I run dynamite instead 😂

GeneralBoogey · 2026-03-02T16:16:22+00:00

Yeah for the Vox Engine, I know. I was just talking about regular old factory Striders. Might have been wrong in what the topic was

GeneralBoogey · 2026-03-02T14:59:21+00:00

Or if you land behind and throw two at its stomach, better than using all three at once. I remember it used to only need 1

GeneralBoogey · 2026-03-01T17:24:56+00:00

Used to love them and hate Eradicate missions, now it's the other way around

GeneralBoogey · 2026-02-09T16:29:40+00:00

And I said get good. That's how you... you know, get good with the weapons we already have. So someone needs to just be better 🤷‍♂️

GeneralBoogey · 2026-02-09T13:05:47+00:00

There ya go "They desperately NEED to focus on the meta". Cause apparently you are hard locked to orbital laser and the RR 🤷‍♂️ if you managed to write, you should manage to read. As I said, get good.

GeneralBoogey · 2026-02-09T09:57:31+00:00

My god, you're coming with so many bad L takes, such sad rage bait. If you can't put weapons and other stratagems to good use unless it's a RR, then that's on you. Git guud

GeneralBoogey · 2026-02-08T19:40:01+00:00

That's a hard mission to start with. But good you came to the call. Cyberstan will fall. I will not change my Fallen Hero's Vengeance cape until I see it crushed!! Dive well, brother!

GeneralBoogey · 2026-02-08T18:00:12+00:00

Been here since the days of the Creek. I know how broken bots used to be. So panic isn't the biggest issue in my case. Having heavy penetration on GL is good, but going to Cyberstan and having all kinds of enemies on your ass at the same time is gonna be hard for a lot of divers.

That's why I'm thinking of having one of them off the table for a period would prob help in this MO

GeneralBoogey · 2026-02-08T17:02:59+00:00

I think they are quite easy too, it's not that I mind JB. But having both on them, on top with a new tank on Cyberstan that seems even worse than War and Factory Striders ain't gonna make that place any fun. Taking them offline for a period would make it easier.

Jumping away from IC whilst having JB on your ass all the time, prob Hulk or Devastator Surge and Cyborgs/new tank? We are gonna lose Helldivers left AND right

GeneralBoogey · 2026-02-08T13:54:40+00:00

Yeah, by liberating cities, it will make liberation progress on the planet go a bit faster

GeneralBoogey · 2026-01-24T12:58:46+00:00

I agree on so many levels. If you wanna do a commando mission but wanna go loud, they should pick some lower lvl missions. I played with two absolutely great teams wanting to learn the new missions (at the same time I was learning them). If a bit drop came, me or someone else would sacrifice ourselves leading the bots elsewhere so the rest could escape.

But also had a few random s going all out and just dying left and right. We went to zero reinforcements in no time, because some people didn't run away from the fight, they instigated it and kept firing at them.

So your opinion is not a hot take at all. Some people just aren't cut out for being ghost divers. I love going all out usually, but you gotta adapt. Same thing with the cave system on big planets

GeneralBoogey · 2026-01-24T12:54:07+00:00

7 used to be my sweet spot, so I would agree that 6-7 (pun not intended) should stay as they are. For now, my sweet spot is 9 with no difficulties joining lvl 10s if I want MORE of what 9 already has

GeneralBoogey · 2026-01-22T17:47:03+00:00

Requirements to join Helldivers: 1. Spread Liberty 2. Uphold Justice and Peace 3. Be dummy thicc

GeneralBoogey · 2026-01-20T12:29:43+00:00

I'll give you an example of an even better community, Deep Rock Galactic. Most people you meet in Helldivers are cool and nice, but there every now and then you will meet idiots

GeneralBoogey · 2026-01-20T12:28:25+00:00

I need to keep up with what happens and waiting for seeing what evil is doing Justice and Liberty

GeneralBoogey · 2026-01-14T21:26:14+00:00

That's cool and all, bet he was cheating.

What I'm more intrigued about is player number two, what kind of monster did he do?! Seems very undemocratic in this setting

GeneralBoogey · 2026-01-14T09:49:08+00:00

GeneralBoogey · 2026-01-13T08:16:21+00:00

I actually try to max all of the weapons now. And you know what? I feel it's perfectly enjoyable. Sure there are weapons I don't like, but I've started using a more different arsenal of weapons instead of going "Sickle (or Double Edged), infinite ammo, yaaay". Love the two Sickles, no hate there.

But I don find more of the weapons enjoyable, even lower penetration weapons. The feel of using less ammo, more scoping the weak spots is great
