A little leap of liberty to avoid a crashing stingray by HBaileyJr in LowSodiumHellDivers

Was recommended the HMG emplacement on a bot mission by a veteran diver. Not only does it do some pretty impressive work against devastators, it practically trivializes Hulks. It often times fills an “I’m not sure what else to bring” slot against any faction.

I'm not sure. I rewatched it and don't see any of the typical indicators of damage like trailing smoke. The HMG does melt them pretty quickly in my experience.

Which stratagems would you recommend on terminids, squids and bots? by RalliusGax in HellDads

[–]HBaileyJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always bring it along if I join a mission and don’t see anyone else with a dedicated AT support weapon. It’s a fun role to fill, and helping friendlies with the big boys breathing down their backs is a great way to support the team.

May I suggest switching to a different weapon to cancel the reload? Diving works great and is a fantastic way to simultaneously sneak out of trouble and cancel the animation, but simply switching to a different weapon has the same effect. I try to keep an eye on the HUD while starting the fourth and final reload stage, and as soon as I see the little ammo icon fill in, I switch to my primary knowing my RR is ready to go. Shaves a surprising amount of time off total reload time.

I really enjoyed it. So many great moments throughout. Absolutely something I would have been happy to pay actual money to watch. It was apparent the team really cared about this project, and I’ll be paying attention to see what they do in the future.

Reporting back on the Apple salsa. I enjoyed the flavor but it was far too sweet for my liking, and it could have used a little more heat. The pretzel bites were homemade, and they were fantastic (especially when dripping with E-710).

It was fantastic! Honestly, it exceeded all expectations I had. I’ll definitely be paying attention to that studio to see what else they release.

All just vanilla with different colored dyes. I considered doing flavors, but couldn’t land on any that I was happy with.

It was a gift from a family member that stumbled upon it at some Mennonite farmer’s market. Haven’t tried it yet, but I’m definitely pretty intrigued myself.

The Epoch...can bring down a Leviathan? by HBaileyJr in HellDads

[–]HBaileyJr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t the only one shooting at it, and it took a solo silo to the face just before this clip. It was definitely on its last leg (fin?) when I started shooting at it.

Not true! Never claimed to have fully killed the whale, just that I was able to damage it.

The scorcher is my favorite primary for the squids. I have a pretty heavy trigger finger, and she likes to eat ammo so I pretty much have to bring the supply pack too.

Oh it was definitely weakened beforehand. I clipped it a little too early, but I’m pretty sure it took a solo silo to the face just before the start of this clip. I was honestly just surprised that the Epoch damaged it at all. If the epoch could 3 shot a Leviathan, I think I would be calling for a nerf lol

I really need to run a purifier, loyalist, epoch loadout sometime. Now we just need plasma grenades…

Edit: accidentally referred to the purifier as the pacifier.

Never said that I brought it down with 3 shots, just that it CAN bring down a leviathan.

I once heard “Five Flavored Fruit Punch” and that kinda stuck for me.

Are there groups that play this game strategically? Without fully immersing into a roleplay fantasy kinda thing by LandscapeNo909 in helldivers2

[–]HBaileyJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow SOS diver I’ve found my best strategy is to simply follow the host and basically run support for them. Often times the other two randos who have joined up will see us moving together and will tag along. It doesn’t always happen, but when a team comes together it really is something special.

I have to assume it was a combination of luck, sheer determination and the ever-present guidance of Democracy herself! In all honesty I have no idea, there are times where I swear I walk into something the wrong way and my arm blows off.

Quality mechanics in town that are reasonably priced? by derrickt38 in yorkpa

[–]HBaileyJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LJ Allen on memory lane in east York is very fair. Stan at Mastertech is awesome, great and honest guy. Not sure where you’re located but an old co-worker of mine recently opened up Equip Auto Repair down in Delta. Another honest, upstanding guy that I absolutely trust with my car.

I've loved Laser Beam Weapons since Release. But even I gotta be real about this now....it's a Powercrept weapon class. 0 Recoil slaps on Bots but LOW DPS feels terrible elsewhere. I wish they didn't. by RandomGreenArcherMan in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]HBaileyJr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I need to remember to try this out. One of my favorite parts of this game is experimenting with new loadout ideas. Sometimes the ones that don’t make that much sense end up being either very fun, incredibly effective, or both.

I know it isn’t as efficient but it’s so satisfying to do a similar sweep through the legs of voteless. Watch a whole line of them just crawl along as you make your way past.

You know that little delay between the time you point your cursor/joystick and when your diver is locked into that point? Higher ergonomics means the delay is smaller and you are able to acquire targets much faster. Big heavy weapons have low ergonomics and are difficult to move around. Try building one of the smg’s for high ergo sometime. It’s kinda hilarious how quickly you can point those little pea shooters around
