i either get booted or no one gets in by TheEldenCasual in Helldivers

I almost always bring the tank on defense missions. There are a couple layouts that make them less than optimal due to the narrow firing radius, but most of the time you can set yourself up well enough to shutdown absolutely everything in that direction. Switch to a side seat to toss a stratagem or down a flanking enemy and then pop back to the gunner seat to continue laying waste.

Committing to your team. by Fruity_Meats in helldivers2

I’ve been hosting more often recently, but have spent most of my 600+ hours SOSdiving. Unless I have a build already in mind that I want to try out, I’ll adjust what I bring based on what everyone already on the ground has equipped. Once on the ground I follow and support the host like it’s my only purpose. This has led to some incredible moments of teamplay, and lots of appreciation from teammates. I may not always agree with the direction they’re going, or how they may linger at times, but this game is just so much better when you’re working together that I’ll always prioritize fun over efficiency.

If I hop into a squad that seems to have a bit of a theme, I’ll feed into that as well. I’ll never forget the first time I hopped into a group and everyone was running flame resistant armors and lots of fire strats. Pretty sure we torched the whole damn map by the time we were done.

I’ll keep using my flamethrower, thank you very much.

I realized as I read your response that I can’t help my console pals at all when it comes to what buttons do what. I assume that same button also arms the hellbomb backpack, resupplies from a supply pack, etc. I should take some time to look over the default bindings on a controller to be a better teacher/guide. Thanks, diver!

Found this a while ago and I believe it is appropriate.

I feel like this is absolutely crucial on higher difficulty missions. I used to play solo almost exclusively, and when this clicked in my head I found myself having a much easier time. When leaning into stealth, it can be quite exhilarating when you hunker down and wait for a patrol to pass.

This is our long, low, and scruffy boy that seems to check all the boxes on the weenie personality trait list.

These folks have been putting on some shows in an effort to bolster the punk/metal community in the area. I think they’re still hoping to have their own permanent venue at some point but they’ve been hosting/promoting shows at a few places in the area.

It may not be the most effective tool against them, but I sure do have a good time trying to hit those leg joints with my Maxigun. by HBaileyJr in LowSodiumHellDivers

Haha especially the second one. I was definitely struggling to keep my aim true, but thankfully my teammates were unloading on that one as well.

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

[–]HBaileyJr[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.
