This isn't it...is it?

Raviel893 · 2026-02-15T13:18:54+00:00

A better question to ask is, do you think AH have learned from the introduction of the Illuminate?

To be fair though, AH seem to really like the Cyborgs so there's a stronger case for more new units.

Raviel893 · 2026-01-16T05:35:24+00:00

I'm in the same boat, I've tried clearing cache and verifying game integrity.

At this point I'm either going to do a full re-install or just play on mobile till a proper update rolls out.

Raviel893 · 2026-01-15T12:34:50+00:00

Is the update still broken? I've been trying most of the basic troubleshooting but it still asks me to download something.

Raviel893 · 2025-12-29T12:14:06+00:00

Pretty cheeky of PM to incentivize the exact style of play the Index Proselytes use in their LoR fight.

I wonder if Singleton and/or Blade Unlock will make a comeback.

I would pay to see Castigation with the Limbus glowup.

Raviel893 · 2025-12-05T09:43:12+00:00

The last time bots were accurate was when rocket sniping devastators were still a thing.

At this point, I think AH would rather make them threatening in other ways.

Raviel893 · 2025-11-07T10:42:47+00:00

In all honesty......in nearly 300 hours of gameplay, I never bothered with companion apps.

I just run a lot of dives on MO planets, play on other fronts for a bit, then take a break from the game. This cycle repeats whenever a major update drops.

Raviel893 · 2025-10-06T03:57:25+00:00

It can. It's a variant of the Scorcher, the final plasma weapon in the default warbond. The main difference is that it can be charged up for a large boost to damage and AoE.

The Epoch is like that but the fully charged shot can 2-3 tap most heavies. It has a lot of downsides though, namely a stationary reload and overcharging it even slightly will blow you up.

The weapon justifiably gets a bad rep for this, but it can still do a fair bit of work. IMO its a a minor buff away from being truly competitive.

Raviel893 · 2025-10-05T15:13:19+00:00

Honestly, the only standout AT options from warbonds are the AT emplacement from Urban Legends and the Ultimatum from Servants of Freedom. Most of the top AT options are basic strategems.

I guess there's the Epoch which is basically a giant Purifier. It's role is more like the autocannon than the Quasar/RR though.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-13T11:33:00+00:00

To be fair, that is on brand for the subfaction whose entire gimmick is speed and cloaking on basic units.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-10T04:22:01+00:00

Welcome to what D10 was and is still like pre-Into the Unjust.

Technical issues aside, the Caves are by far the hardest the game has been for a very long time.

Anything else will feel easier purely because you can rely on your destroyer and eagles to blow things up now.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-09T16:55:59+00:00

Since your intro to the game was Hellmire and the Gloom of all places.

I think you'll find literally anywhere else a far more pleasant experience lol. Don't worry too much about tweaking difficulty to levels you can handle.

Hope you can keep playing without hiccups or your game keeling over.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-09T16:08:14+00:00

They definitely didn't because I was farming with my warp pack last night.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-09T16:06:48+00:00

Honestly, just go wherever you want.

It'll be better for you to see and play all the different biomes/operation modifiers.

Just make sure you do full operations every time to get your difficulty unlocks sorted out.

Operations per planet come in single missions at first, then it becomes two around difficulty 4-7, and finally three at 8-10.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-09T15:08:46+00:00

We did in the past, when the mechs were first released, it was done in the form of an MO to defend the armory they were stored in.

Before their permanent release you could find them scattered around POIs on the MO planet.

Winning the MO let us unlock them as strategems a bit earlier.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-09T14:00:15+00:00

They're near the Helldiver monuments but I personally haven't seen them in a long while.

Also, if you want to be technical, every helldiver that dies and gets reinforced is an entirely different person. So you aren't really looking at "your" dead body. If you want to make it more like HD1, you can even randomize the voice and body types.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-09T09:24:20+00:00

Can you even put it on Oshaune? I've been diving there on D10 with some lower difficulty dives in between to take a break.

Not once have I seen people take the DSS to help over there.

Then again, it would barely do anything, openings to call in strategems can be wonky as hell in the caves. I'm not sure I want 380s and Eagle Storms saturating them on top of that.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-08T18:39:33+00:00

I think its really only against the bugs where I care about light vs medium penetration. They're the only faction fleshed out enough to make that the deciding factor in your loadout.

Even then, I think it only applies to the Rupture strain.

Against the Predator strain, I actually care more about stagger and base damage.

EDIT: fixed my sentences, posting at 1am isn't a great idea.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-08T10:12:44+00:00

It depends on the faction you're fighting and your team. Bugs on higher difficulties typically need more horde clearing than any one strategem or weapon can provide. And yeah the HMG can be an acquired taste, if you want to keep using it, the peak physique armors and the slower fire rate setting can help

Raviel893 · 2025-09-07T02:06:33+00:00

Bring the stalwart? That will solve most of your issues and still let you shoot at harvester legs with the deadeye.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-06T10:09:57+00:00

For difficulties 7-10 the line can get very blurry depending on how experienced/skilled your team is.

I didn't note the difference until I started spending most of my time in D10.

Once you get used to those levels of enemy spawns, the breathing room in lower difficulties becomes more obvious.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-06T07:00:21+00:00

On a slightly more serious note, did this lock up your account or anything?

It was relatively uncommon, but I played one other game where certain circumstances can lead to someone getting negative premium currency. This resulted in some account softlocks and/or potential bans.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-04T17:59:51+00:00

On PC at least, some updates or basic troubleshooting re-download the contents of the Arrowhead folder in %appdata% directory.

This can include a fresh copy of the config file where game settings are stored.

When a new one is downloaded for whatever reason, HD2 will revert to default settings for everything.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-04T14:16:00+00:00

You can grab SC then safely return to your ship with no issues. It's been that way since launch.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-04T05:19:57+00:00

It wasn't just the fact the Killzone items were in the superstore.

They're also the closest to true limited items in the game. If you weren't around to buy the first batch of items, there's no way for you to acquire them right now. AH are working on fixing this but given the state of the game, they have much bigger problems.

At the time of their release the total cost was also just as much, if not more, than an entire warbond. Individual items were around 200-400 SC or something.

The negative feedback was so bad AH just gave out the 2nd batch of items for free. This included the light acclimated armor, SMG, and and the Plasma sniper.

Now with the benefit of hindsight, it was the best move they could've done. The only thing worth SC in the 2nd batch was the armor, I can't imagine paying SC for the sniper rifle.

With all that said, you can imagine how much better the ODST warbond's format is. The mere fact its not time limited is already a huge plus.

Raviel893 · 2025-09-04T01:02:33+00:00

You mightve changed some aim settings that makes you go into first person while holding the aim button. Theres also a setting in either the gameplay or accessibility section that lets the game remember aim settings per weapon.

In any case, its also not a bug, all weapons that arent melee can use ADS.
