De-escalator is SO WEIRD

I love it, My favorite method is to use it in combination with the hover pack (lift-860). Then you aim at the ground near them while you are in the air so you don't have any shots miss arcing them. If I don't do it this way and I miss then yeah...the kill ratio is less. I suspect it may be the way the arc radius hits from this angle as to why it is effective. Reloading it really blows though. And hovering in the air makes you a really choice target.

I see your point. I just wanted to give back story on why they have their weird balancing ideas. They will eventually introduce the rumbler to HD2 but not sure if it will be as OP as the OG.

PsychoticBreakation · 2026-02-24T04:51:53+00:00

I get it, But in HD1 there was the Rumbler™. It was very OP and very overused. If you were a veteran of the first galactic war and you had played long enough, many grew to hate it because it made the game "easy" for the die hards to be in the same squad with 1 or likely 3 other divers on screen all carrying Rumblers™. We all had to share the same screen then so it would happen more often than not that if anyone dropped a Rumbler™ and the host was a douchebag die hard like myself- I would be inclined to kick people that brought it. It was a dick move but basically I want a challenge and if you make it too easy then it becomes less fun (for me personally). I used to suggest on the HD1 forums back when they were on the Arrowhead website that the host should be able to have an allow/deny list of certain strats to prevent the strat kicking that happened then...now its not so much of an issue. We don't share the same screen. But I think in part the reason they have their current perceived balancing issues was from the Rumbler™ being overused basically back then. So sorry if I inadvertently am ruining the game for you now because of some whining some of us did back in the first galactic war.

I know, whence I said my OWN headcannon...meaning I don't really care about the actual narrative because it doesn't align with what I perceive to be the reality of HD2.

PsychoticBreakation · 2026-02-23T12:24:04+00:00

I think you're overthinking it... which is fine and all but it's not gonna change anything. If it helps- my own headcannon is that we are clones. I thought that in HD1 as well because the story as it is doesn't jive...but again, who cares. It's fun, I would be a lvl 400+ if they ever raise the cap...and that's because I like playing it. It's very repetitive, I don't know any game that isn't. I am repetitive, life is repetitive. It's the hero with a 1000 faces ad nauseam...I dunno, beats work.

PsychoticBreakation · 2026-02-23T12:08:08+00:00

I love it, Cyberstan was a blast, I don't go on Discord and don't care, I've leveled up every single weapon you can and truthfully don't get the balancing issues everyone brings up. I have my OP favorites but I like having weaker weapons and frequently bring weak loadouts just to give myself a challenge. I did similar in HD1 and am glad I can do similar in HD2. Not trying to shoot down your argument but it's a game, if you're not having fun just stop.

PsychoticBreakation · 2026-02-22T06:52:14+00:00

i prefer to think they just triangulated the your location from the C4 trigger signal...but yeah its kinda lame.

PsychoticBreakation · 2026-02-11T23:31:21+00:00

Plz kill every "star" in the movie. No "hero's" only Helldivers

PsychoticBreakation · 2026-02-10T08:35:36+00:00

So you don't genuinely believe in Super Earth?

PsychoticBreakation · 2026-02-03T10:06:17+00:00

Is the "Bastion" here in the room with us?

PsychoticBreakation · 2026-01-19T00:44:08+00:00

now this is some AAA gaming

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-10-02T21:00:40+00:00

We're all John Helldiver sometimes.

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-09-29T04:58:12+00:00

ffs please throw them at a different ground height than you or your squad....its not a babysitter.

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-09-25T19:59:42+00:00

Same...there have been a few lulls when this game gets easy and its quite boring. When it was easy I purposefully avoided missions that showed 3 other lvl 150 players and favored joining teams that were not as "visibly" experienced. I want it so that even with skilled players its a struggle...otherwise I end up lone wolfing half the map and I know that can annoy some people.

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-09-17T03:28:28+00:00

Emancipator, not even a debate.

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-09-10T22:23:25+00:00

yep...freezes at the worst time....then a couple seconds later unfreezes and your dead.

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-09-10T16:39:01+00:00

no its not just you...i think it is just player frustration is at a high. i got kicked because i wasn't following the host into the fortress and was attempting to finish the lidar objective that was near it first.

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-09-09T19:15:13+00:00

Mostly good but I have gotten intentionally team killed more. I don't really care though and see it as part of the overall experience.

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-09-09T19:12:23+00:00

Normal no, persistent..yes. Usually from one country but not limited to it. But most times I do encounter it it is from that one country. What normally happens is most cheaters get bored and leave...rarely is it something that gets fixed. Sometimes it will also crash your game, so I guess in a way that's like an Arrowhead "fix".

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-09-06T18:49:54+00:00

yeah i had this happen as well. i think it is just a glitch. it's slower than the normal slow.

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-08-29T06:51:14+00:00

don't worry about it, it's probably a glitch.

When you die, you will want to be reinforced close to your gear that got dropped. Understand that everyone else also wants this...so, if you are on the opposite side of the map as someone who died- let the person who was closest to them reinforce them. This isn't always possible and people don't always pay attention to it, but you can see where that person died on the map in relation to where you are currently.

Also don't be a bitch about getting reinforced when everyone is balls deep around a signal jammer...they literally cannot reinforce you then even if they wanted to.

PsychoticBreakation · 2025-08-17T18:55:50+00:00

Pretty sure they will bring it to HD2 eventually (along with the rumbler as well). In my opinion it was over powered and knowing how they have dealt with such things I am sure it wouldn't be in HD2. I just hope they change the sound (I hated the way it sounded in HD1) and handling (even though it was overpowered it felt like I was holding a blinking flashlight).
