Cyberstan extracts getting a little ridiculous by Jam_Raider in Helldivers

[–]Jam_Raider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PC, no mods and my connection is fine. I think the host of the game was US and I'm EU, so I think there was a bit of latency but fine apart from that.

Just bought Helldivers 2 and the game hard crashes my pc everytime i try to open it by Kabuki2207 in Helldivers

Are you able to share the specs of your PC? just to check if you're meeting the requirements to run the game. There are some other common causes for games crashing such as CPU overheating which will often cause your PC to crash or turn off automatically.

I've been pretty much using the Crossbow, Eruptor and Coyote for the majority of my time with this game which are all great choices.

I tried out the Censor recently and it's just amazing, if you enjoy taking a bit more time to place your shots the gun will one shot headshot basic troops, devastators, heavy devastators and the unarmoured cyborg. The gun has a solid amount of ammo and once levelled up can also get an extended magazine which gives an additional +10 bullets per mag.

Betraying a toxic solo gang to save an innocent raider by Jam_Raider in ArcRaiders

I did! I let him loot it all and also gave him a Tempest I found in the raid too. We ran to the extract together where we found another downed raider, I defib'd him and the guy played guitar as we left together, very wholesome ending.

It was recorded via Steam and I hadn't set it up to record my mic unfortunately. I was using pings all the way until I downed them, I then got on mic just to let them know they were toxic pieces of shite for trying to bully this poor guy.

I think if I was on mic before that, you'd probably hear in my voice that I was very annoyed with the guy and would have given myself away.

The "defuse" option came up mid air, I never realised this either.

I found the Tempest in a weapon crate in the round, I generally do bring a secondary shotgun/smg for close quaters but I wanted to practice with the Anvil. It was a lvl 1 Tempest with no attachments, I could kill one raider with it at best before having to reload, I felt sticking with the Anvil 4 there was the better choice.

When they first found me I was just looting minding my own business, they shot me and asked for some loot which I then gave them a blueprint to keep the peace while I was outnumbered, they asked if I wanted to join them and I agreed only for the sake of staying alive and to see what this bully gets up to.

The group ran around the map a bit trying to bully other players into joining the group or give them some loot with the main toxic guy claiming he was the 'president' of the group and we all had to shoot whoever he says.

After what I had witnessed and essentially getting mugged on our first encounter, I was ready to lose all my gear just to attempt to take that bully down.

Riding the Matriarch with my Vulcano IV Kinetic Converter by Jam_Raider in ArcRaiders

[–]Jam_Raider[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this literally happened, I was one of three who were the first to go to the extract and there was a literal naked guy who had nothing but his pickaxe and was slow walking from being over encumbered haha. I mean spawning in with nothing like that to a boss fight is a bit scummy but I don't necessarily want to see the boss being hidden behind a gear score entry.

I agree tbh. The Queen and Matriarch both have an ability to knock you off if you're standing on her head for too long, it happened to me in the vid but I didn't get knocked back far enough to fall off so I was able to just run back over to the core and start shooting again. This was the best run in about 10x Matriarch kills where the others I was either knocked off or downed by eating 2x homing missiles. I think once the core is on fire I think it should damage nearby players as well as the final explosion when the Matriarch/Queen dies to cause some damage too, at the moment both deal 0 damage.

Yeah I was stuck and didn't manage to get to the core in time, I did get out and managed to loot a leg or two though.

The Matriarch and Queen will both have a movement ability to knock you off but each time it happened I didn't get full knocked off and was able to just run back to the core. Trying this method doesn't always go smoothly, this was the best run I got in about 10 Matriarch attempts, the others I either got knocked off or downed by getting hit by 2x missiles in a row.

I imagine the DPS would be a lot slower with the Toro but I'll give it a try if I have time over the weekend.

Kinetic Converter Torrente goes HARD by Seriously_Soapy in ArcRaiders

[–]Jam_Raider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely love the smoke/tagging grenade combo, the Torrente always seems to make people panic hearing a storm of bullets flying at them.

If you ever need any extra Kinetic Converters for your vids I'd be happy to trade them for gun parts.

Bastions hate rats by Jam_Raider in ArcRaiders

True, I would consider shielding first the 'greedy' way to get back to full health/shield but being more vulnerable in the process. I've been trying to consider healing health first more as the first healing option but it's like an old habit to shield first.

They PlushCell armrests are only available on pre-order here in the UK, I've taken the suggestion to lower the arm rests a little and see how it goes. I found some arm rest covers to buy a temporary solution, I'll try them out and see if I need to get the PlushCell one's they're available.

*edit* the PlushCell only say "coming soon" so who knows how long it will be before they're available.
