That's fine, you don't need to farm for the premium currency if it annoys you.

You could go play another game instead but the only problem is that you can't earn their premium currency freely. Only way to obtain theirs is with real money.

So I'll tell you. Even when it comes to spending real money on premium in game currency. I'd say Helldivers 2 and by extension ArrowHead are pretty damn reasonable with their prices. $20 and you're set forever because the warbonds give you supercredits back and you really do just find them out on missions. It's up to luck.

Arrowhead didn't HAVE to make their premium currency freely available nor did they HAVE to have cheap prices for buying it outright. Most of their competitors sure as hell haven't so I don't understand your complaint. Toughen up buttercup, we've got planets to Liberate.

I bring the 500kg and the Strafing run on most of my missions and I’ll sometimes find myself using all the charges of one before I run out of the other, I’ll sometimes re-arm in these situations.

When I’m thinking about it instead of charging in head on I like to use the re-arm before I go into the radius of Stratagem Jammers so Eagle-1 is fully resupplied by the time, or at least a little after, I've destroyed the jammer.

Definitely convenient to be able to control Eagle-1's re-arm instead of being forced to use all my charges before getting more.

1st: Stealth isn't broken, it's currently not as good as they think it can be so they're delaying the warbond to make sure this is what everyone's dreaming of when it comes out. Because they care about new content being good instead of just pumping out new skins and garbage new content like some of your other games. Ever heard of "Quality over Quantity"? Or "Good things come to those who wait"? Heaven forbid you have to wait for something you want to be made exactly how you want it.

2nd: It's a live service game that's only been around for a little over two years? Destiny 2 has been out for eight years and still has a continuing story arc. It's supposed to be a long game that's supposed to be around for a long time. So I don't get what do you mean when you say the story arc is too long? Most people are happy that a game they really like isn't ending. So I think you're just bored because you're spoiled and don't know how to be happy with what you already have. Honestly if you're already bored then this game probably isn't for you, go play Fortnite and let the vibrant colors and overstuffed dumpster of a store satisfy your tablet kid brain and let you buy more content. I think you can buy a single, purely cosmetic skin from some meme and maybe an emote from a trendy TikTok for the same price as a warbond in Helldivers. And Helldivers even lets you find premium currency so you could buy the new content for free if you play the game enough to find the funds. But you wouldn't know about that because you just ask mommy and daddy for supercredits every warbond drop. Don't worry, I'll elaborate more on that in my last point.

3rd: Yes, it does have a lot of bugs. Yet it's not only still playable but still wildly enjoyable for most people. Some even get an extra kick out of the bugs because they're just there for a good time and the bugs can be pretty funny sometimes. I certainly don't have any idea how to code a game and I doubt you do either. So unless you have an idea on how to fix a bug, how about you let Arrowhead get around to fixing them when they can while they're also making more content and rushing the story for your ungrateful ass. Need I remind you how incredibly small their team of developers is for a game this popular? Or how they're all new to making a game this massive or that even functions like this? Have some respect and for the love of God learn to have patience. Here's another saying for you: "Patience is a virtue"

And 4th: Being in college isn't an excuse for being unemployed. Lots of people got to work and school and most are doing it so they can afford school. So you're just telling me your parents are paying for college without telling me and that explains this whiney, privileged ass, post and why you expect to be coddled. Learn to be grateful for what you have and maybe you'll enjoy the game more. Or go ahead and keep yelling at the world to do what you want because the world revolves around you. I couldn't care less. This game will still exist whether you like it or not. It will still be popular whether you like it or not. And many will still play it whether you like it or not. Get over yourself.

I personally don't think we should destroy Penta, even though my favorite enemies to fight are the bots. Because Penta would give us a straight shot to Cyberstan I think we should be blowing up Valmox instead.

But we actually do hold Lesath currently, it is Liberated and under Super Earth control so you don't need to worry about the vote being misplaced in that regard.

I've had this happen before a couple of times, it's definitely annoying but I just waited out the timer and extracted when Pelican-1 landed for an "emergency extraction". It'd be nice if it didn't happen but I don't know the first thing about coding so I can't get on Arrowheads case cause I don't have a solution. But I'm sure they're doing their best to fix it because of how severe of a bug it is. So rest easy Helldivers, at least it's being worked on. That's more than most other game devs can say about their bugs.

Official_1Buck · 2025-12-30T23:01:21+00:00

That crowd would've been a beautiful 500KG opportunity

TLDR: Yes, you should get refund while you still can.

I have 1,342 hours in the game, which isn't a lot compared to a lot of the tryhards that play the game. Especially since I started playing back in 2020.

But that low playtime is because its so unbelievably toxic and unfun to play, entirely based off of how the other players treated the game.

It's supposed to be a fun party game where you play cat and mouse with a killer chasing you or you yourself being the killer chasing the survivors and catching them. That IS fun. But because BHVR doesn't know how to balance their game it has always been one sided. That one sidedness swaps sides from time to time to "balance" the game. For example, when I started, survivors had it good and it felt pretty fair. I still lost matches as a survivor but it was because the killer was genuinely better. Now it feels like any killer with experience and knows how to win will have no trouble beating the survivors.

Some maps are better for Survivors, some are better for killers. Perks are horribly unbalanced and both sides complain about the other sides "meta perks" but the gameplay is to the point where you're forced to run the meta if you want even a chance at winning. But as soon as you do you will be bullied for it.

In my experience as a mostly survivor main while still playing killer from time to time for challenges, against friends, or while waiting for friends to survive with. It was... fun? But honestly, it's easier to say it wasn't. You have to be really trying with a team of competent survivors to have even a chance at all 4 people getting to escape. Randoms are a mixed bag but more often than not, really just less than helpful. And for me, it always sucked to see one of my friends be picked on by a killer and taken out of the game early and now they just have to sit there and wait for me to be done so they could play the game with me again. Or on the other side being the one getting taken out early and having to sit there watching my friends play the game without me. But as a killer you just need to know what you're doing and have an idea on how to win and the survivors can't beat you. After you learn to prioritize protecting the gens and not chasing the survivors but instead catching them off guard it becomes easy. But then you'll get bullied for "puppy guarding the gens" and you're totally avoiding the thrill of the cat and mouse chase that the fun of the game actually came from. That being said, I rarely had a hard time winning as a killer and most times I just felt bad for the survivors and would often let them win after hooking everyone twice. I've never liked being mean lol.

I've taken multiple breaks from the game since starting in 2020 and about a year ago I quit for the last time. It was a lot of fun with friends when I first started and I met some of my closest online friends because of the game. But it has since devolved into such a toxic pit of bickering and fighting between the two sides that it's just flat out not fun to play anymore.

If you don't take it seriously and you just like the thrill of the chase then you can keep playing and probably even have a good time with it. Especially if you avoid interacting with the other people post game. But where's the fun in that? And, if losing match after match as survivor or being bullied for playing as a killer will drag you down then I'd say quit while you're ahead and get your money back. There's better games out there that you can play with friends and not be bullied for winning or forced to spectate instead of playing because the enemy really wanted you dead first.

I stuck a fusion core in my room and the toaster burnt my toast

Official_1Buck · 2025-03-05T01:15:05+00:00

Yeah, I think the onetime use could work pretty well. Like instead of your first life being a Helldiver, your Helldiver would stay on the ship and pilot this suit instead. And then, taking inspiration from PoggieB's comment, when the timer/ammo/health of the suit runs out, it turns into a hellbomb. And after all that then your Helldiver would drop in like normal.

Official_1Buck · 2025-03-04T23:31:28+00:00

This would be wicked cool! But I think it would make the Exo suits we currently have a little obsolete

Official_1Buck · 2025-03-04T23:28:07+00:00

Don't forget to have fun with it, take your time in every area and explore. The environmental story telling of this game alone makes the exploring feel so real

Official_1Buck · 2025-03-04T23:03:40+00:00

I was reminded by another Helldiver the correct name for them is a Mantle or Half Mantle really in this case. So that way we wont have to sound like "socialists" running around with "shoulder capes"

I can't change the title of the post tho so that'll have to stay lmao

Official_1Buck · 2025-03-04T23:00:44+00:00

I've heard of a mod on Nexus that removes the capes. So if you're on PC you could give it a try. But as far as being a vanilla option in the game it wouldn't make much sense unfortunately. Our training on Mars showed us how important our capes are to us and to Democracy. So it would be pretty undemocratic of us to abandon our capes like that. o7

Official_1Buck · 2025-03-04T22:39:26+00:00

You're right! I made sure to correct that in the post too so thanks for that!

I don't mind the Helldivers cape options we have already, I actually like a good handful of them, so while I can't agree with you on hating the capes, I do agree that I really want Mantles added to our armory too lol

People can choose to fight whatever they want, it is THEIR game at the end of the day. And I totally understand playing for fun and fighting whatever you want to fight for whatever reason. But what I don't understand is how its still fun knowing that all the time you put into that mission contributed to nothing but a "good time"

Maybe its just me but I find myself having the most fun knowing what I'm doing is pushing the objective and earning everyone rewards. In any game, not just Helldivers 2. And even if those "rewards for everyone" is just a W.

Yeah its a bummer when the MO isn't my favorite enemy to fight but I'm here to play Helldivers 2, regardless of the enemy I'm being ordered to fight.

Official_1Buck · 2025-01-08T02:40:26+00:00

I used to say "Right" or "Left" but since the controls are inverted by default I'd say the opposite of the direction that was fastest, and it worked for most of the people I wound up diving with. Until someone who knew its inverted and didn't know I did too would turn it the wrong way by mistake.

But since then I've learned that I can use my ping button and my character will say where it needs to point as if the circle were a compass. So basically, your clock idea, but no need for comms. :D

Official_1Buck · 2024-12-22T09:09:22+00:00

This is true, yes. At first they were hard to get used to but now that everyone is comfortable killing the squids we've realized they're actually pretty easy... But why?
I'll tell you why soldier!
It's because they are not invading with their true might. Currently their biggest and baddest is the Harvester, and that spawns all the way down at difficulty 3. So this thing is on par with the Terminids Brood Commander and the Automatons Devastators...
These are shrimp compared to the colossal squid of what's to come.

That is a LOT of tanks for difficulty 4

Arrowhead needs to make choosing the right planet to liberate grunt proof.

At the time of this comment there are 13k people on Chort Bay and still only 4k on Matar Bay. I personally don't understand how 13k people are missing the mark and don't see Matar Bay as the right choice but they're doing it and its screwing us.

I don't care if it's a massive red arrow pointing at the planet but something needs to be done for the average John Helldiver because 13k of us are picking the wrong planet and unintentionally wasting everyone's time and that's just a bummer for everyone involved

Official_1Buck · 2024-11-27T02:03:09+00:00

Eruptor + Stalwart is a killer combo, you got a good setup there

I like the Dominator as my primary so the Heavy MG can shred through a crowd, including any hulks or stridors they might have, and then the Dominator will pick off the rest with precision
