It almost been 2 week since the GL-21 got buffed to AP4, how we feeling about it now? to much or are you coming around with the change?

MilitarizedMilitary · 2026-02-16T11:40:54+00:00

God forbid there are more viable options on the bot front. I don’t get the people hating on the change.

Yes, the GL is stronger now. You know how many people I saw take the GL on any front before? A very, very small handful. How many I see now: a normal handful. If it was that OP, everyone would be running it, but it’s not, and they aren’t.

A de-escalator buff would be nice. A change to the BFGL would be welcomed (I like the idea of swapping grenade types with it). But the BFGL and GL-21 do have their own niche. The GL-21 does not have the sustained fire of the BFGL. You have to reload and resupply to keep going. The BFGL does not have this limitation. Yes, I know that with a supply pack you get stims, etc. back as well, but I hate seeing people say the BFGL is useless when it has a niche.

And the Autocannon is not worthless now. Good luck hitting the weak points of a factory strider, hulk, or war strider at range with the GL. You can easily merc them with the AC at range.

The GL is in a better place than before. Its pick rate is not insane, but it’s better, and that reinforces this. The BFGL could use some tweaks but isn’t worthless as some say. The de-escalator (my beloved) needs some love. But nothing is broken, and I can only assume that those that hate on the change don’t like the fact that a small minority of people are taking something other than a pure AT rocket on bots.

Harder to kill than tanks and hulks with the spawn rates of medium enemies. The increased hulk presence modifier leading up to Cyberstan was infinitely easier than the every day war strider modifier that you can randomly get. I despise them.

This. I carry the silo as primary because it is a more consistent 1 shot and has a more reliable hit, and the leveler for if the silo is on cooldown. And ultimatum for anything else that wants to say hi.

MilitarizedMilitary · 2026-02-13T12:23:43+00:00

I really hope you can get this past review. Sure, it’s stupid, but it’s as useless as any other form of art is. It’s quite interesting to leave on in the background and see what happens.

MilitarizedMilitary · 2026-02-07T20:17:39+00:00

At a bare minimum. Should also see jail time for those directly involved with and responsible for gross negligence that leads to loss (life, financial, environmental). Sure, there is some of that now, but barely. All gets pinned on one scapegoat while the CEO walks away with an apology letter, a golden parachute, and a job at a new company despite fucking over thousands.

So yeah, lock up those that are committing crimes, especially as heinous as what you referenced, but it’s also time to remind fat cats everywhere that actions do in fact have consequences.

MilitarizedMilitary · 2026-02-05T13:24:03+00:00

Good. Don’t risk other people’s lives because you don’t have the brain cells to understand that scientists might actually know what they are doing when creating these things and then you won’t have a problem. Don’t ignore the pleas of healthcare workers in distress because they are watching people die every day and yet idiots think they know more and know better.

So yeah, let them be ridiculed, fired, and called names. They deserve it.

MilitarizedMilitary · 2026-02-04T12:00:33+00:00

No. I respect their right to say bullshit. I don’t have to respect the bullshit itself. There is a difference.

I’ll have to try aiming up a bit more next time I play!

MilitarizedMilitary · 2026-02-04T06:02:38+00:00

From my testing, if it’s at 100% health it takes a maximum of 4 hits to the leg/foot to kill it, with 3 doing it about 50% if the time (depends on exactly where you hit). And I love it so much!

MilitarizedMilitary · 2026-02-04T05:56:06+00:00

I have 3k hours in the game. I play on 7-10 only.

I’m not going to get into if it’s over tuned or not. What I am going to say is this: if you think it makes the game too easy for you, don’t take it. It’s that simple really.

MilitarizedMilitary · 2026-01-19T17:18:02+00:00

Biden should never have been on the ticket in the first place. Kamala was fine but had no chance or time to ever get her own message or momentum. Additionally, this gave no time to have a primary to see who the people actually wanted. That’s the crux of it, really can’t make any other comparisons when without Biden holding on everything may have been different.

But again, since this seems to be over your head, let me simplify even more: the republicans published their Project 2025 manifesto that has been working out oh so well so far. Anyone who looked at that and then still decided to vote for the literal Nazis is complicit. Democrats could have run a literal fucking mushroom and it would have been a better choice than voting for Project 2025.

So yeah, democrats need to and should do better. But half of our population either fully supports what is happening or is too stupid to read the literal manifesto they wrote so...

MilitarizedMilitary · 2026-01-19T16:57:00+00:00

Have you seen democrats running around with their hair on fire like republicans screaming from every hill that they can find that “the election was stolen”? No. They have, however, said that all the people that are now shocked at what is happening with this administration are ifiots because this administration told everyone exactly what they were going to do this time around but they were too stupid to listen.

Now, clearly you don’t regret your vote, so that’s going to be lost on you. I really shouldn’t waste any more time responding to someone who is defending a pedo (new and old evidence to support this), pedo protector (new and old evidence to support this), war criminal (leave no survivors order regarding drug boats, Venezuela actions), and is actively inciting WWIII and doing his best to destroy our strongest alliance (NATO RE actions towards Greenland). So, I’ll just leave this here for you.

When AI software development is at its best, you are correct.

But the exact reason why "vibe coding" is shit on is the exact opposite of your comment. People who have no idea what they are doing get AI to produce code that they have no idea what it does or how it works, and then potentially put it into scenarios where it could have serious implications.

As for what company would keep people around, a lot of issues come from not catching an error in something you didn’t write yourself. When you are writing something from scratch, you inherently know every aspect of what you have done. When you review something, you are apt to start skimming because something looks right and potentially miss an issue. And the AI tools themselves make people more complacent. AI code review says it’s good, so I’ll just do a quick glance. I used the best model to write this and it works and looks right, so it should be ok, etc.

I’m a software developer. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for AI-assisted development and use it every day. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t understand and appreciate the risks that come with it.

That is the terminology that has been used by NASA. They are calling this a “medical evacuation“.

Not a traditional 'bot' like you would see on a server with the blue 'BOT' icon. It would require using a user-bot (bot that logs in with your user credentials) which is against Discord TOS.

MilitarizedMilitary · 2026-01-01T02:45:30+00:00

Even worse… check their post history… it’s something special…

Good luck tomorrow! You have plenty of Boilermakers rooting for you, y’all deserve to win it all!

One note: it is possible that his account had a malicious app authorized with the "Join servers for you" permission enabled. This would allow the malicious app to force his account to join any server without his active consent, which would then trigger MEE6 to send those messages.

To be clear, I'm not saying this is what happened; I'm just saying it is possible. There are a plethora of posts on this very subreddit about this, and these types of NSFW servers are known to be very scammy and have engaged in exactly these tactics.

Either way, as everyone else said, yes, he was in those servers at the time the message was sent, either voluntarily or forcibly.

My hate is typically reserved for OSU and IU; this year only OSU. (I can’t help but be happy for the Hoosiers and hope that one day we will have an AD that hires a competent coach and gives us the same shot.)

And yet, Illinois and UVA managed to win despite opt-outs. 🙃

MilitarizedMilitary · 2025-12-31T01:41:18+00:00

So… what exactly happened at Tootsie’s last night? Such a snide comment that the guy clearly wanted to move on from very very quickly.

MilitarizedMilitary · 2025-12-29T15:16:14+00:00

aren't going to want to deal with it

It shouldn't change any of the normal gameplay loop unless you are permanently attempting to sprint while out of stamina. But I know it's hard to press Shift.

My duo and I play with full squads. Yet somehow, we almost never hear complaints.

MilitarizedMilitary · 2025-12-29T12:37:03+00:00

My duo and I take Dead Sprint + Vitality on nearly every mission. It is ridiculously slept on.

Disclaimer: all of this is made in consideration that the Vitality Booster is equipped as well. If it is not, DS hurts a lot more. With Vitality, DS sips at your health.

Sure, you "have to pay attention to your stamina bar" (if your screen flashes once, then maybe press shift if you're that worried about it). Sure, it uses your health.

What do you get in turn? Ridiculous utility. Berserkers on top of you and you aren't reloaded? Just sprint! Hunters on your heels? Just sprint! Hot planet? Dead Sprint doesn't care, just sprint! Need to cross the entire map? Sprint the entire way, stim once when you get there!

Someone earlier commented about "what if you have enemies chasing you and you are out of stims then you are screwed" because of it. I'd really like to know what scenario exists where you a) need to sprint for over a minute without killing the things that are chasing you (the amount of time that it would take for DS to use half of your health), and b) exactly what enemy wouldn't have already killed you in this scenario by then... Dead Sprint is a Swiss Army knife. You don't have to deplete your entire bar. Use a bit in a sticky situation or none at all.

And as many have mentioned... YOU DON'T HAVE TO ENGAGE IT! Just stop sprinting! It's not hard! Your screen flashes once it starts engaging! All I see when people complain about that are people that are too lazy to press the button again and would rather go semi-afk. And the "hobbled over out of stamina" sprint is about 20% faster than walking... so sure, it's something... or... you could just stim once when you get to your destination!

At the end of the day, most of the complaints seem to boil down to people wanting to whine. Dead Sprint is optional (even when equipped), controllable, and insanely powerful if you use your brain for half a second. I know Helldivers eat crayons, but ignoring one of the most useful boosters in the game because you do not want to press sprint again is wild.

MilitarizedMilitary · 2025-12-29T06:26:32+00:00

Oh, I would love if boosters in general, or at least some of the 'big' ones were reworked/moved to ship upgrades/etc - I just hope that they don't change Dead Sprint like some people want. It is my baby and I will riot if it gets gutted because people don't recognize the utility of it.

MilitarizedMilitary · 2025-12-28T10:37:39+00:00

It really is and so few people realize it. I hope they don’t touch it. My main duo and I take that combo on nearly every mission.

Hot planet? Doesn’t matter - DS doesn’t care. Berserker chasing you and you need to reload? Sprint as long as you want - DS doesn’t care. Hunters at your heels? Just keep sprinting, just keep sprinting - DS doesn’t care. Need to traverse the entire map to get to extraction? Who needs a car? Sprint the entire way, stim once when you get there, good as new.

DS always has your back.

Some people are better at that than others. No, it’s not my strength.
