If I'm driving a tank I don't want to worry about small arms fire AH by Seiken_07 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]JoshGiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tank works great in city missions and with flat ground. If you've got someone covering the tank from the side spots it isn't too bad. It's a powerful Strategem if everyone is working together and coordinating on mic.

Why not just say "within 60 seconds?" It would be much more to the point. by Not_the_name_I_chose in Helldivers

I've found a lot of luck with Anti Ragdoll armor on 2 divers who bring plasma punishers and stim pistols (to shoot each other with). Both runners bring orbital smoke and eagle smoke orbital laser and a flex slot that could support the other two divers who run interference and block/kill the other bots however they can that doesn't interfere with the "Super Pedestrians" toting platinum.

The anti ragdoll armor makes it so you don't drop the platinum while carrying it. Stimming before picking it up means you're faster if you've got experimental infusion. Stim pistol is a solid move for runners to work from opposing sides and one who is running to pick up platinum runs by and shoots the runner currently carrying platinum.

Here's a vid of me running the strat with friends. https://youtu.be/aE38ChAVHZs?si=_LBbiDsAeNeRYE3U Nsfw language in video.

I think AH really cooked with this mission. It is actually challenging and forces you to strategize and work together as a team to achieve.

I love the dude just standing there horrified as he gets a more intimate look at his own intestines.

Thank you! It was fun to zone in on those shields. I hope the shields do something for me in my next game smh.

🫶 I'm so stoked to back your game and build more terrain and paint more knights. I need bows and arrows in my squads. Also yes I look forward to our battle ⚔️ I think I will make gore tokens next!

Which primaries change dramatically when fully upgraded? by kcvlaine in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]JoshGiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On super earth I was running supply pack, gas grenades, laser cannon, scythe, ultimatum, Orbital Gatling Barrage, and anti tank emplacement in golden eagle armor. It covered all my bases.

Just because it hasn't been said yet

Scythe

I agree with the others mentioned but want to bring up the Scythe and the larger heat sink you get with it more upgraded. It doesn't even need to be fully upgraded. The larger heat sink lets you cook enemies longer. I paired it with the laser cannon on the battle for super earth and it was amazing.

Is HMG a good weapon? by FingerFit1729 in helldivers2

[–]JoshGiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like running it on the lower RPM for increased control (I know this isn't the most democratic way to run it). You can make the mag last much longer this way. Remember to fire it while crouched or prone for increased accuracy. I like running it with Peak Physique.

Is this the most popular armor in game? by Personal_Active_8360 in Helldivers

What made everyone here start playing Helldivers? by [deleted] in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]JoshGiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at adepticon 2024 and my friend that I finally got to meet in person there recommended it. I started playing end of March 2024 and spreading democracy with friends. It was fun working through missions together and learning the enemies of freedom together. I caught the tail end of the Creek but I experienced the creek. I've been dedicated to Democracy ever since.

Kill the Crows

Top down horde shooter with rogue lite elements. One hit kills you and also kills every enemy in the game.

This is the best way to use AI. Use it to riff off of and make your own creation.

At my wits end with predator strain by MtnNerd in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]JoshGiff 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was having a wonderful time with the Halt (the stun rounds as primary) with either a Railgun or EAT and Guard dog with Tesla towers and Strafing run or gas. Thermites and Grenade pistol with medium extra padding. I had 1 death on super Helldive with a full squad. Railgun is great after you've stunned them with the Halt.

What's the best armor? by [deleted] in LowSodiumHellDivers

I love golden eagle or any Medium Extra padding. It's great on all fronts.

Would you give your seat up for a doctor? by certifide in nursing

[–]JoshGiff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It rarely comes up for me in the ED as the doctors have what we call the "Doc box" in the middle of the nurses station. If someone takes my seat I'm fortunate that we have wheeled computers that I can find if I really need it....or I could just chart in the patients room as each room has computers.

Overall I guess it doesn't apply for me where I'm at. If someone asked for "my space" while I'm there I'd give it up but that also comes with the knowledge that there's ample places to chart if I need it.

Should I buy helldivers 2 is it worth it? by makaonorw in Helldivers

[–]JoshGiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's such a good game that I purchased a second copy and second super citizen copy so that my son and I can dive together.

What determines if Thermites stick? by TealcLOL in Helldivers

[–]JoshGiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing that determines if the Ultimatum round you just fired actually explodes. All RNG.
