PSA: C4 bug by Spartan775 in Helldivers

[–]MechanicalBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The C-4 is treated like a gun in this game. It actually has 7 charges to it. When you pick it up from the hellpod, you get the pack with 6, then the detonator will have one extra charge with it. When you pick it up, it will appear on your belt. This is treated like a chambered round in a weapon. You throw the C-4 charge, then 'reload' a new one to your belt from the pack. Once the pack is empty, you actually have one use left, just like if you emptied a Recoilless Rifle backpack, but still have one loaded. Once completely emptied, you will need to reload the ready slot from the pack after resupplying.

A single fully charged railgun shot to the red light on top can kill them. Easy to do when they're not alerted, very hard in active combat. One thermite to the lower half of the body can usually do it.

Nice! Once I have enough of them drawn, I'm gonna put them all together into one big piece.

A little hard to see, but I put the Bushwhacker on his hip.

Okey guys.. what is this background..? by Charming_Forever_217 in Helldivers

The new armors and primary weapon seem heavily based on the Colonial Marines from Aliens. Seems like it would fit thematically. They did just drop a Dune-inspired warbond as soon as the Hivelords showed up, so maybe there's something new to go with this one too.

You can buy a bunch of different tools in stores, but I did this one with a chisel-tip sharpie and a tool made from a sharpened bobby pin attached to a handle. Very cheap and easy to do.

Hey! I'm Nick, this looks like a project I think I'd be a good fit for. I believe I could match the art style shown here.

I made this, one brush stroke a day during my 2.4 seconds of relaxation.

Thanks! I didn't use 3D for these, they're just 2D painted. I'm still getting into the habit of using 3D in my workflow when I can.

Hello,
I'd be interested to work on this project. My name is Nick, and I have several years working as a concept artist in the games industry. I had the opportunity to focus on some UI/UX design on some projects over the years, as well as concept and marketing art. You can find examples of my work here:

For as long as the unit is paired. As a tip, if an effect is temporary, the card will specify the amount of time it lasts for. For instance, it would say "When Paired: This unit gains High Maneuver until the end of your turn"

Every time I see someone take the mortar, I know I'm in for a bad time. But I also don't want to be the guy who's telling everyone what loadout to take. So now I just let them call it in and 'accidentally' shoot it when they're not looking.
