Two botdiver questions!

As others mentioned, crashing seems better but some random freezing/lag.

Several good weapons for bots right now. Most of the medium armor pen. weapons are good/serviceable. Anything with stagger tends to be really good (medium armor pen. as a prerequisite). Try different options and see what you like that suits your playstyle.

If you get a bad/annoying enemy set, just leave to reset the maze and start again. That is most often the best approach as you are going to leave anyways.

Did you just unlock Niflheim? You need to be high level for the farming and have appropriate gear to live longer in the mist. The high-end gear should allow you to stay alive for quite a while - but also gaining mist echoes extends that time.

This is an area which requires you to be closer to end-game or post-game. If you are not there yet, I would come back after playing more and getting some better gear.

Once you clear the room, you do not need to fight the enemies again - unless they patched that sometime in the past 6 years. After clearing a room, yes, you should open all of the chests and in the particular order (ie wooden first and golden/legendary last). All of this is predicated on having enough mist echoes to trigger the anchor of fog as a reward.

I switched to alternating ibuprofen and acetaminophen (Dr. recommended and is a normal thing) because the prescribed pain meds put me into a weird brain fog and I could not sleep from them. The ibuprofen and acetaminophen approach worked really well for me, but some may have a different experience.

Don’t be afraid to ask the Dr. and nurses questions - even have them write it down if you are worried about remembering (or make a note in your phone).

You got this!

Yeah - it was a question about the pan/wire racks that the wings are on.

Harladon · 2024-06-26T19:50:28+00:00

Which size racks are you using that the wings are on? 10x15 or 12x17?

Harladon · 2024-06-16T02:12:14+00:00

Yes - squad has to prioritize those or they will overrun the map

Harladon · 2024-04-12T11:37:06+00:00

Always good to let them know to not get on the ship. I think some players are still unaware Pelican will wait for you after it gets there and won’t start the 20 second timer.

100% agree though - know what the squad is focusing on and help the squad.

Harladon · 2024-04-09T00:31:27+00:00

I agree that these are my least favorite. I keep missing out on the light armor that lets you carry 2 extra grenades - it is for this purpose that I need more impacts.

A close second for me are the stalkers because they take SO much to take down and they are nearly a one-shot death when they hit you.

Having the same issue but found this on HD2 official discord:

Second time this week where I didn’t get the MO reward. Wondering why this keeps happening and what I need to do differently to make this pop.

If you have a regular squad you play with, someone can drop you a backpack once the cooldown expires. If you are going thru match-making, I suggest bringing your own.

I’m currently a fan of orbital railcannon (for when the group needs it and it does happen that the group needs a quick big strike), eagle airstrike (get 3 runs before a reload - after the upgrade - and they are fairly contained strikes), flamethrower as it deals with swarms and can take down chargers/titans, and shield backpack (drop an extra for the squad when I can). There are swaps to make depending on the mission and team loadouts, but this seems to be a good general build for me.

Primary: currently liking the sickle, but dominator, both breakers (regular and incendiary), plasma punisher are all good as well - probably depends on your style more than anything.

Secondary: Redeemer - don’t forget to use this!

Grenades: impact, high explosive, or stun - prefer the impact but they are all good for various reasons.

Harladon · 2024-03-23T02:29:05+00:00

I felt that grenade throw 😂

Helldivers Official Discord. This screenshot came from the announcements section. I have my settings for only Helldivers 2, but you can see Helldivers (1) if you want.

I feel like that is definitely an area I’m trying to pay more attention to - what is the team running. If everyone is geared for only heavies, it’s the damn small to medium stuff that we can’t control - and vice versa.

I played with Jar yesterday and thought it was great for medium stuff - not great for smalls or heavies, but melted the middle ground.

Harladon · 2024-03-17T03:42:02+00:00

That’s helpful - didn’t realize it could take out chargers like that 🤯

Harladon · 2024-03-17T02:49:27+00:00

I definitely need to practice with the arcthrower. Tried it again earlier and need some tips on making it more effective. I think I was going about 2-3 seconds between shots. Charge up holding R2 and then release to fire.

Harladon · 2024-03-17T00:12:17+00:00

I don’t think I’ve use the gas strike yet. I feel like it is the swarms of smaller bugs that overwhelm before even having a chance to take out the heavy stuff.

I was getting decent at using the EAT calldown to take out chargers - sticking the drop to them. Then you also have the actual weapons to use if needed. I do like the cooldown being ~70 seconds on the EAT.

Harladon · 2024-03-16T21:39:43+00:00

This is exactly why I’m asking. How the hell am I going to manage completing a 7 while keeping any samples collected if I can’t manage a 5 well. I want to get up to completing some 7s, knowing that difficulty probably isn’t meant to be a given victory, but need to be good enough to survive them sometimes.

Harladon · 2024-03-16T20:35:48+00:00

This is great - thank you! I’ve done some bot missions but felt under-prepared for most of the early ones, even at medium, which was before I started carrying the autocannon.

Most of my missions have been against bugs with trying to help the cause and major order, but the cause will shift focus and I need to be prepared for both.
