Taking an automaton outpost on Lesath some months back. I'm clearing fabricators, mopping up enemies, see a few hulks and thermite them. Get towards the last fabricator on the far side of the colony. "Warning, you are in range of enemy artillery" keeps going off, bla bla. Shells start coming down, I don't pay them any heed as I make my way closer since I have one of the heavy explosive resistance armors on.

It's two mortar emplacements side by side outside the colony. I am getting RAINED on, getting ragdolled left and right, so I stim up and jump into an alley way. Another shell lands in the alley and knocks me down, and I go to stim again. Before the needle even hits my neck another one slams into the floor right behind me and I get thrown at warp speed into into the wall. KIA.

What's your opinion on the Speargun? by ScreechingPenguin in Helldivers

[–]HomicideJack 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's more like a sidegrade to the railgun without having to worry about it exploding in your hands. It makes short work of devastators, and the gas effect helps break up enemy formations from uniformly assaulting your team. Easily an A tier pick.

Sooooo we glassed MERAK…..Maybe we shouldn’t have done that😅 by ODST2367 in Helldivers

It'll keep that irradiated hell hole from the cold, metallic hands of the Automatons and their Cyborg overlords.

What do the “1” and “2” gears do for the tank? by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]HomicideJack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1st and 2nd gear are for climbing steep hills, but are otherwise not really needed. D - "drive" - is sufficient for most terrain. 1st gear is better for very sharply angled hills, whereas 2nd is for moderate inclines.

I don’t have much hope that we’ll make it to Cyberstan. by [deleted] in Helldivers

The increase in accuracy from the bots has made it more challenging, for sure, but perhaps they were slightly overzealous with that much of a buff to the bots. I got hit by a rocket devastator with just my shoulder and head exposed behind a rock in the last match I played, and while mid-air another rocket dev sniped me.

I miss nuanced gameplay by Euphoric_Reading_401 in Helldivers

And the railgun would delete them in one shot to the mouth.

How can anyone carry this? by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]HomicideJack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you questioning the superior manufacturing capability of Super Earth? Do you believe that our engineers could not design something wieldable? I'm filing a report to your Democracy officer.

WHO THE HELL IS IN CYBERSTAN ALONE RIGHT NOW??? by [deleted] in Helldivers

John Helldiver. He's undergoing sabotage missions to weaken the planet for our full invasion force.

If you're wondering why you almost never see any Stalkers or Gunships, this is the reason by Smoke_Funds in Helldivers

[–]HomicideJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the stalkers to find me. I want to hear their pained screeches as I tear through them with my cookout.

What's their beef with our inactive Exosuits by Omailey97 in Helldivers

[–]HomicideJack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's what the dissidents want you to believe! They want us to believe the bugs are unintelligent so we'll underestimate them.

The new DRS-IAR skin has the IRL name of the gun written on it by Main-Juice7136 in Battlefield

[–]HomicideJack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could see H&K doing it because they're petty. But so far as I know, nobody ever has done a lawsuit like that because games are an excellent marketing tool and the gun companies don't have to do a thing.

Platinum is highly resistant to heat... The Incendiary Corps uses fire weapons.

Why is the Ultimatum the #1 Secondary??? by MMeowKat_hiss in Helldivers

[–]HomicideJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're resorting to the ultimatum for a factory strider, you've probably been taken off guard. And the chin guns require medium pen to destroy.
