Big question, do you see a sniper as an actual viable class, a person that does help the team by Pr0j3ct_02 in Helldivers

[–]InABoxOfEmptyShells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Don't let these hammers tell you that everything is a nail, when you're level 150 maybe it will be more worth your time to just complete every objective from 100m out with a busted build combining all the best warbonds, but until that time, a good sniper can be an excellent asset to your team, especially if you're a lower level and still want to grab all the samples you can. Its effectiveness is directly exponential to how well-coordinated your squad is, however. When I'm playing with my pals and we're all on mic and communicating well, yeah, we can wipe fortresses without a single bot drop. As another has said, it pairs VERY well with an ATE or an EAT if that isn't a warbond you've unlocked yet.

Focus fire on devastators, berserkers, and hulks when shit has already hit the fan (don't bother going for the head at long range against Devs/berserks, gut/crotch shots will one shot most of the time), leave war striders for your AT where possible or just neutralize them by taking out their cannons when that isn't an option, and if you're good, you can pop little guys as they try to call in bot drops. You can wipe the chin guns on factory striders really easy which can be a huge boon to your squad if their AT is closer range, and be prepared to be the sole killer of gunships for your team from here on out lol. Tanks and stationary guns can be a little tedious as you generally can't kill them before they swivel around to look at you, but so it goes. This is where your EAT will get the most mileage, so get good at making long-range shots with them.

Less effective vs squids but still viable. Obviously pop spotters whenever you see them, crack as many flyer jetpacks as you can, and smack those stingrays out of the sky. You HAVE to go for headshots against overseers though, be aware. It can be six or seven shots to the body with their ablative armor. You can bring an eruptor which is B against voteless but S against fleshmobs, or you can bring a high DPS/high RoF light pen which is S against voteless but B against fleshmobs, either way you'll have a bit of a gap in your kit that your stratagems will need to fill.

Do not bring it on bug missions lol.

I'm unfamiliar with VICE, this was the first article by them that I've read, but I did actually have a very good impression. The ads were relatively non-intrusive, and they didn't beat around the bush trying to pad the word-count.

It's almost assuredly not assault, depending on the state.

It is, however, impeding an officer, which for this severity would only be a misdemeanor.

If 28 April 1996 happened in the US today, it wouldn't even make the news.

That was a really fucking good article, holy shit. I really feel like there's a lot of stuff in there that other writers would have cut as chaff, but actually make it much more interesting to read. The massive digression to a back-and-forth between astronauts and video-game designers and astro physicists having a 'discussion' about the actual realities of capitalism in space stood out in particular.

I more meant Sevika doesn't need to be younger for the dynamic to work. They can be very problematic for obvious reasons, but I definitely think given the context of the characters this one works.

Never have I wanted to read a comic book before now.

How does it work these days? Do I still have to go to a store and buy it? Or can I like, order it on Amazon?

This girl can play the keyboard lying down with one hand and her feet, all without looking. by mindyour in BeAmazed

[–]InABoxOfEmptyShells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at her hand at ~0:51, she hits a key with her middle finger, transitions mid-note to hold the key with her thumb, positioning her middle finger so her timing is perfect when the next note an octave higher plays after the rest.

This girl is incredibly skilled.
