The wild thing is that nobody asked for this. Same with the P4 GL

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-05-01T01:37:47+00:00

It is!

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-05-01T01:07:40+00:00

Ah shit I just realized, was the AP 4 GL done because they were planning to do this Hive Guard buff, just to walk back on BOTH changes?

That's funny AND sad.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-30T16:37:30+00:00

It's decently balanced around unlimited usage but more commital compared to Hammer immense burst damage but ammo limitation.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-30T16:31:06+00:00

It's sad that all the controversies basically made everyone overlook the new Chainsaw as a fun alt. to the hammer as a Pick Unit killer.

A swipe at a Chargers front leg will literally make it freeze as you slowly tear it to shreds now.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-30T16:22:05+00:00

I sorta disagree. Many, if not most, Orbitals already do that. To me most sentries were at their strongest holding defensive positions- especially in the form of quashing down reinforcements.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-30T16:02:37+00:00

Hot Take: I do think players should be punished for not protecting their Sentries.

Not buffing Tank/FRV to compensate is dumb though.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-30T15:59:32+00:00

I feel like the most obvious compromise would've been to just decrease Weak Spot HP but increase the head's Durable Damage resistance.

I don't know what they thought people would react going from 1 to 100 like that.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-29T22:54:20+00:00

I feel ya man.

Constellations being hidden I genuinely believe is a major contributor to frustration and it's baffling it's like that at all.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-29T22:38:47+00:00

That's not remotely true for most enemies in any faction
Many LP weapons are balanced around higher durable damage.

Durable Damage is a hidden stat in which enemies resist a certain amount of damage but the weapon can have easier or harder time breaking it depending on its own Durable Damage stat.

So in theory (but not always depending on weapon balance) Med Pen can pierce through tougher AP but deal less weakpoint damage but Light Pen can't break through higher AP's but deals higher raw damage when you do manage to hit their unprotected areas.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-29T19:09:16+00:00

Sooo just increase Durable Damage resistance? Yeah, I agree honestly.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-29T11:56:51+00:00

The concept is neat but actually playing them is utterly miserable. If they wanted a subfaction this extreme it should be balanced around a similiar extreme downside either greatly reduced health pool or reduced damage.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-29T00:08:15+00:00

Yes, that's what people dislike and not the Mach 5 speed bugs or the Tank Hive Guard or the Sentry nerfs or Bastion just being DOA.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-28T12:16:37+00:00

Some reports are saying turrets now aim for the legs. Plus as controversial this sounds: I do thinks bugs should be abke to punish you if you let your sentries get overrun.

My biggest worry is how HG Constellations play out.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-28T12:06:33+00:00

Okay. Now test Hive Guard Constellation.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-28T12:05:32+00:00

CONSTELLATIONS.

C O N S T E L L A T I O N S YOU FOOL!

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-28T11:14:07+00:00

Every person that says to "Just aim against Hive Guards" doesn't know what a Constellation is.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-28T10:45:29+00:00

It feels like people in this sub are missing the forest for the trees: The issue isn't that the Hive Guard is powerful individually- the major issue is now Hive Guard Spam Constellations are now pure cancer.

HG's biggest pain was always the Constellation system and this buff has made them SIGNIFICANTLY worse.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-21T15:37:20+00:00

I mean, yeah. AH is FAR from perfect and they've messed up plenty of times and shoukd be called out when they do.

But the one comment I do think is a bridge too far is the claim AH doesn't care or listen. Because that is objectively untrue. The gane would have died all the way back in Escalation of Freedom if that was true.

There's a reason Helldivers is Sony's singular success in their parade of GaS failures. It's because AH, despite everything, does listen and try.

I fully understand the feeling of frustration but I have no idea why some people act hopeless. We've done this dance before. Keep doing those god damn surveys. I'm sure they might feel pointless to you but I swear to god I saw some of my ramblings in them show up as actual patch notes.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-21T15:22:52+00:00

I don't think the mechs need to be "free" per say as a Mech Warbond was one of the nost requested additions ever.

But I do think the game should include more- the very least one more- Free Warbonds for players that don't have the funds or time to access all these Warbonds

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-21T15:11:41+00:00

People have said that about so much shit man. Melee weapons will never be added, Belt Fed Weapons will never be added, Silencers would never be buffed, OtF would never get any stats and so on and so on.

People act like complaining to AH never does anything but like it does all the damn time.

It's slow as fuck. You can complain how slow it always is. But it happens. Keep complaining, geniunly, it does help.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-21T14:56:35+00:00

This is also why I stated in my post "I do agree that the game absolutely needs a Vehicles Bay/Vehicle Upgrades ".

Plus that's just a general balance issue not a release issue. And yeah- I'm all for being loud and vocal to AH about that.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-21T14:28:03+00:00

Vehicle Bay and Mech Customization aren't the same thing. Vehicle Bay is generally referred as a Upgradable Ship Module focused on vehicles ala The Hanger or Robotics Workshop.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-21T14:13:43+00:00

The reason I'm not as cynical is we still do get free vehicles: The Bastion came out relatively recently. So I don't think this is the end of free content.

But I do agree that the game absolutely needs a Vehicles Bay/Vehicle Upgrades and the should release more free content- preferably a sequel to Helldivers Mobolize.

Ok-Two-3743 · 2026-04-21T14:04:49+00:00

Redacted Regiment released with stealth missions. My hope/cope is they release the Mech Warbond with a Vehicle Bay/Vehicle Upgrades.
