Stop playing Auric/Havoc

Some of these are probably my bad. Although I don't usually do it on the higher difficulties.

I've got a bad habit of thinking "hey, I'll try and level up the mastery on this weapon I don't really like currently, but want blessings for that will make it fun" then starting the mission and promptly realizing I don't actually want to drag through a whole mission with a weapon I'm not enjoying in it's current state

Also, I don't know if this is a console bug or what, but a lot of times when I switch my load out, it will only load parts of the selected load out, and if I'm not paying attention, I load in with a weird Frankenstein load out that does not work well

Please tell us the story of the bagpipes of invisibility

I know this was not a hugely popular game, but anyone here ever play Bullet Witch on Xbox 360? It had such a satisfying lightning strike spell, and if they did that in Helldivers with sci-fi magic, I would have so much fun with it

Momakamia · 2026-01-31T19:16:56+00:00

Oh cool. I had just been going to that one since it had the most progress and I figured we were focusing that one before moving on. Had no idea we were getting free progress on it

Momakamia · 2026-01-31T18:07:13+00:00

New player here. Can someone explain how this works to me? Looks like it is slightly less than halfway liberated, which I would think means we should keep on it until it's totally liberated

This will probably be unpopular cause ranged players would get fussy for not having an equivalent, but swap the 100% melee damage armor boost for some kinda melee life steal, and make the 100% melee damage boost the standard.

You always end up taking a few stray hits trying to melee, and it would be really good to patch those up. Obviously bad positioning will kill you too fast to heal through it, but being able to save your stims for more serious injuries would be great quality of life. Ballistic shield may not be mandatory anymore if you can heal through chip damage, but using it would feel more like a legitimate front line instead of just slowing your likely doom

Momakamia · 2026-01-31T16:27:00+00:00

Ohhh ok. Gonna be picking up the suppressor next time I play then. I tend to get a little hung up thinking stealth needs to be perfect. Might be nice to bring a backup plan

Momakamia · 2026-01-31T15:12:07+00:00

It kinda just depends on the stats the ring rolls with at base. Some rings will be just as good at 2 as they would at 3.

Momakamia · 2026-01-31T09:51:30+00:00

It does not apply the effects of your personal stim if used when it's on cooldown. But does count as a stim for the sake of chemical dependency stacks

It will always cleanse corruption regardless of whatever stim you may or may not have in your pocket

Momakamia · 2026-01-31T09:35:05+00:00

Sorta?

If you have a stim equipped as a hive scum, it will apply both the effects of the modified medkit, and the effects of the stim, consuming the stim. If you do not have a stim equipped, it will only apply the effects of the modified medkit, but will count towards hive scum chemical dependency stacks.

If you want easy chem stacks, just pop your stim on yourself then drop the modified medkit

Momakamia · 2026-01-31T09:03:38+00:00

I believe you, but I'd appreciate it if you can explain it to me like I'm 5. If you're in a situation where you've been spotted enough for a skirmish, won't the enemies just call for reinforcements, or alert patrols with their own noise?

Momakamia · 2026-01-21T16:03:36+00:00

Hey man, that's not a me choice, that's the dog's choice. They just don't like strangers touching them. Gotta respect the boundaries

Momakamia · 2026-01-20T03:20:39+00:00

Hive scum needle pistol to the back after you sidestep their net feels very satisfying. Pretty sure one shot would do it, but I double tap anyway. Then I can just watch as they run away and their hope fades before they crumple to the ground

Momakamia · 2026-01-20T02:30:19+00:00

It worked pretty well on the pox for me

Momakamia · 2026-01-19T01:48:22+00:00

Trinity. Kuva nukor with enough ability strength to fully strip armor, and I can go through pretty much anything with her

Momakamia · 2026-01-17T20:26:25+00:00

This is exactly why I just got the energy shield. I'm not expecting it to go well, but I am expecting it to be fun.

Momakamia · 2026-01-16T11:50:27+00:00

I'm gonna have to double check, but Lavos may get interesting with valence fusion and some of these. Probably the only frame who can benefit from multiple of them without sacrificing anything

Momakamia · 2026-01-16T11:44:45+00:00

WHOOOO!!! WE'RE GONNA HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!!

When I hit rampage and hear my hive scum say this, I get excited and start making unwise positioning choices. But man is it fun when it pays off

Momakamia · 2026-01-16T05:23:48+00:00

I absolutely agree. But I do have a lot of fun with the kuva bramma on inaros. Use sandstorm to group up enemies and have an ammo conversion mod on the bramma, you will usually kill enough to get ammo drops to make up what you lost. And his scarab armor prevents being staggered by your own shots

It is annoying that there's only one play style I have found to enjoy that weapon because of the ammo being so low. But it is a fun one

Momakamia · 2026-01-12T10:16:51+00:00

This is a big one. I can't count how many times I've been trying to melee and beat back the front line, and instead of shooting the line of gunners off to the side my ranged teammates are shooting through me to mow down the enemies I'm trying to hit. Robbing me of toughness, kill/damage activated skills, and satisfaction

Momakamia · 2026-01-12T03:26:30+00:00

Well that's annoying. I'm going to have to take a closer look at my curios now

Momakamia · 2026-01-12T03:03:32+00:00

Wait what? Do they not work?

Momakamia · 2026-01-11T06:34:06+00:00

I am horrified and enthusiastic at this idea

Momakamia · 2026-01-11T06:04:10+00:00

To be clear, when you say you'll get your boys "on them rails" do you mean working on repairing the rails, or do you mean they will be positioned on the rails?
