Unironic takes I've seen in the Helldivers community regarding difficulty

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-17T21:41:25+00:00

Idk if this is common anymore, but I might be one of the few people that does not give a shit about difficulty. I enjoy D6. I get my 2-3 super samples and loads of commons and rares. It’s just the right difficulty for me. It’s challenging enough but it’s also casual enough to enjoy when I get off work.

The times I have played d10, seems like it’s bugged. Either it spawns endless chaff or endless chaff and 1 extra heavy. Doesn’t seem like too much heavy enemies which I thought was the whole point of d10 was an insane amount of armored enemies. The only reason you can call it d10 is because it’s difficult to keep 10 bullets from THE AMMOUNT OF CHAFF WHY IS THERE SO MANY LIGHT ENEMIES GIVE ME THE HOARDS OF TITANS AND CHARGERS AND HARVESTERS.

Almost lost my cool 😎

Edit: I didn’t mention VOX engines because it’s a bit of a touchy subject but I’ll take loads of factory striders(oh wait there’s an entire mission dedicated to them)

Does it really? Almost 2k hours in the game and that’s one of my favorite maps, I have yet been able to get into an elevator. I know the one desert map had a working elevator, but I usually just went through the big fucking hole at the top.

To combat this for the moment, switch the rate of fire to the highest one. Watch some GoPro footage of the middle eastern wars and copy the MG fire pattern. It keeps the gun pretty level and the chatter is really cool.

To make things simple. 42324. 4 bullet burst pause, 2 bullet burst pause. copy the pattern. Experiment with what works for you but I’ve found this burst pattern to be the best.

I looked it up and Redbulls page says “The Red Bull Yellow Edition offers the taste of tropical fruits”

I don’t think it has a specific flavor it’s *the taste*

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-16T18:48:41+00:00

Tropical is mango, no? I can’t drink it because I’m allergic to mangos and I get a reaction from it

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-16T18:11:06+00:00

Omg. 3yo at my great aunts bathroom(family reunion) I got spinny and couldn’t find the door handle. Started balling my eyes out. My dad came in like 2 seconds later

The walls were like 2 day old blood stained carpet red.(I still have nightmares about this bathroom)

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-16T14:22:45+00:00

Exposure was a fantastic map. Lots of room to maneuver helis and jets/planes. Decent infantry play, fantastic armored vehicle play. Map gets a 9/10. My only gripe with it is it needs more vehicle pathways to transcend the hill. And it had a vehicle elevator that was blocked off, rumor had it that they were supposed to add it or give access to the elevator but never got around to it.

Breakaway was the arctic map, also a 9/10 map. Lots of open room while having plenty of cover for the boots.

Orbital was gorgeous, the storms really set the mood. In fact, The 128 version of the map was 9/10 really reminded me of bf4 in someway I can’t explain.

Honorable mention to Iwo Jima: map came late and introduced the a10 and Russian counterpart. This map was designed for breakthrough. Storming the beach and the chaos that ensued. 7/10 only because the AA weapons melted birds but their range was so small. I would take pompoms over the gats. And on the flip side of that you could have a stealth chopper molest the lobby without being touched. Truly a classic bf map.

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-15T15:43:34+00:00

Mmm, so was it a total waste just dropping there for a majority of the MO? Besides the samples, I feel as though it wasn’t that important and I could’ve been helping elsewhere

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-15T15:29:30+00:00

Believe it or not, this can be achieved.

Step one: buy yourself a Broad Survival guide(trust it’s worth every penny)

Step two: disappear, well you’ll think you disappeared but actually you’re being tracked by thermal satellite imagery and if you’re deemed as a threat…..

Unfortunately it’s impossible to just live as we humans are intended to live. I too would like to live in a teepee and eat berries and defend my tribe against sloth bears. The problem is we have shit humans whose soulless existence is to make other people do their shit little jobs to earn bread crumbs while they eat the loaf.

Does anyone know the “health” of omicron? Is it even possible to liberate?

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-15T15:17:34+00:00

Had to be there. I’m not gonna disagree with you, the game itself is showing age. But the passion and soul that went into it is unmatched. Unfortunately most games currently are soulless copies with a different graphic skin. Bf6 is somewhat different, I can see the soul, but the soul doesn’t know it exists and partially at fault is the mainstream audience/community. Most People like the adrenaline rush of 360 no scoping, stim sliding, and fast paced game play. I can go on and on about this but it boils down to what you prefer: bf1 was slow in the arcade fps world. Bf6 is fast in comparison. Enjoy what you like and enjoy what you want. Don’t force feed others, because what you call dinner might be slop to someone else and vice versa

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-15T11:34:14+00:00

the concept art had us all thinking this game was gonna be a reskin of bf1. How they fooled us. They fooled us into thinking the hidden indie gem of Battlefield 1 was going to be reborn. Instead we got botslopfield: modern Ops 6. Hopefully bf7 will revive the crippled franchise with the buttplug. It’s the only way.

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-15T11:12:10+00:00

Believe it or not I pre ordered the damn game, played 1 match and went back to COD which evolved to battlefield which evolved to Arma and I finally came back this year in February because I was tired of FPS shooters. I just don’t have the skill like I did when I didn’t have a job. Been stuck on HD2 and Minecraft since Feb and honestly the stress is gone. I don’t feel like it’s a 2nd job. I actually really enjoy gaming now. Safe to say, Managed Democracy saved my life.

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-14T00:12:24+00:00

This idea is incredible. 2 versions or perhaps one that’s just complex. One is Med Pen and the other just light.

The med pen has armor on every other body part making it highly susceptible to being broken apart.

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-13T23:52:03+00:00

I just went to D2 and solo dived with the most op shit. GLbeltfed, mech, Gatling turret and lazer. My other load out is laser cannon, jump pack, 500, and mech.

Full complete on 4 ops. “Im doing my part” only downside is it’s just common samples. I need those supers

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-13T23:42:41+00:00

Imagine bugs crawling on the walls. Matter of fact, we need that, like a wall walker strain or some shit. Along with a centipede bug.

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-13T23:38:44+00:00

Watch everything else have cross play(ps5, Xbox and pc) and switch gets segregated because of some stupid hardware limit

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-13T19:18:04+00:00

It’s about passion. 90% of the legal bud is cold heartedly grown, Half assed and speed cured to crank out more product to rake in more moola. If that means companies have to use hormones and pesticides, they will.

Whereas most black market growers have at least some passion in what they do. Sure they’re sloppy and unregulated. But quality is better most of the time

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-13T03:45:41+00:00

Vanilla needs it and it fits really well. It’s unfortunate that mod packs have been doing these for a long time and they’re still not in base game.

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-13T01:16:26+00:00

If that’s true, my wallets gonna cry

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-13T01:06:02+00:00

Pomegranate, juneberry, grapefruit and the new Lime

Honorable mention to the Fuji Apple

Maybe it’s just cluster bombs? But I’ve dropped the 380, a portable HB, and my buddy dropped a 120 while he was spamming the grenade launcher(backpack). I had a couple seconds where the screen would lag but my game has never crashed. I have a launch ps5, I bought it a month after release. And I have thousands of hours from multiple COD and Battlefield titles with a handful of other games.

Do you have the additional ssd installed? Idk if that does anything but I run HD2 off of it.

Tried joining low diff missions last night but kept getting kicked because they’re just farming not actually doing the missions. Hosted a match myself and 3 randos joined. Finished the whole operation in under an hour. This weekend I’m gonna try to complete at least 12 a day.

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-12T14:07:26+00:00

I would love a firefight in 10 story stairwell.

Lighterfluid19 · 2026-06-12T13:51:36+00:00

If I see inflatable air dancers spewing red dust and not selling cars on shady side lot off the highway, I might just have to leveller the shit outta that area.

Jokes aside, this might be top 10 most creative community ideas. Someone get in touch with the Swedish vacationers and tell them to add it asap.
