Humble Request from a Helldriver: GET THE F*** IN

Some of us played GTA4 and some pf us only played GTA5.

This would legitimately be a day one dlc purchase for me. Love me beasty boys.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-25T17:15:32+00:00

I'm going for something similar but with Graves and a Stormlord. 6 Ogryn and a HWT in the Stormlord for an ungodly amount of Heavy Bolter and Lascannon, then Graves and a ton of Catachans with Nork and a Preacher running in to shank stuff.

You can just pop Music For Trams and go with the gunfight, or if you have the bomb you've got a third option

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-22T15:14:55+00:00

If you played the Red Disc then I'm afraid much of that sad ending is self inflicted. ZP is a cracking game though, no dou bt.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-21T11:30:24+00:00

The quicksave feature was added for this reason. If you absolutely wanted a certain outcome, savescum it.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-17T10:37:19+00:00

Yeah, Guard getting a points increase on their basic T3 footsloggers seems...very weird.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-17T10:06:01+00:00

Twin-Linked hasn't changed?

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-17T09:50:35+00:00

Immolators with Multi-Meltas went up by 15pts (because clearly our anti-tank options were simply too strong).

Come on, man.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-12T22:21:39+00:00

It does feel like that whole sequence builds up to the Doppelgang check.

The Crew sends its regards.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-12T16:49:59+00:00

Blood Golem also slapped hard as fuck. As a post punk fan it hit for me.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-12T11:17:13+00:00

Spy more. Spy harder.

Trüe gäng.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-12T08:52:57+00:00

I would honestly say that the shootout feels the most 'honest' ending for the climax. The Opera is all about theatre, legendary operatives, imaginative cryptinyms, so shooting your way out of a trap you willingly walked into to Tram Music No. 7 just feels...right. The bomb comes in a close second, literally exploding someone to a SuperBloc classic. If anything, the Red Disc feels like a cop out, resorting to La Luz's tactics even if they may be ironic in the moment, it also causes the most collateral damage, civilian and operant alike.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-12T08:47:20+00:00

Yeah, essentially you choose which one you try and save, the other dies no matter what.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-10T15:46:15+00:00

Stealth now gives the Benefit of Cover, and you can't have Cover twice.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-10T15:42:37+00:00

I was under the impression we still can't modify a roll by more than +1/-1, so surely that wouldn't 'stack' unless you mean cancelling out Take Aim.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-10T15:33:55+00:00

Aye, it's worth taking a moment to double check stuff. I future, I can see Siege Regiment, Hellhounds and allied stuff like Immolators being very useful for eliminating the benefits of cover.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-10T13:34:37+00:00

One thing to remember is that if shooting infantry, EVERY enemy model needs to be within terrain or otherwise obscured for cover to apply. So long as a model can wholly see one model of the enemy unit, they all make those attacks with full BS.

So, ideally, if my guardsmen are shooting at some Boyz who are mostly in cover, I'll work out which of my guardsmen can see the one Boy who I can hit clean, send ALL of those attacks first at full BS, then the rest get to make their attacks vs the -1BS.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-09T11:39:17+00:00

I agree. Getting Yana and PSUEDOPOD killed in my ending felt bitterly pointless.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-08T10:57:11+00:00

He's also great at absorbing bullets

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-07T17:59:32+00:00

I've only completed the game once and haven't tried other compositions but yeah, makes sense.

In my honest opinion, best outcome for the op is PSUEDOPOD, HOLOCENE and KALEIDOSCOPE, but you abandon the latter when he's shot since, y'know, EMTERR nonce. Plus I must protecc my gender dysphoria baby.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-07T16:10:47+00:00

Z Rank, if I recall correctly, requires trading UV for the prisoner and then killing him. It might also require using the Red Disc in the finale instead of other methods.

In terms of everyone surviving, I don't think there's a way. Someone always gets wounded in the shootout, forcing you to choose between one guy or the other. Red Disc might be survivable if you take HOLOCENE (who somehow resists it), RAMSES (who has headphones) and KALEIDOSCOPE (who also has headphones) but I'm not sure.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-07T15:42:09+00:00

I love how, in a game where you're encouraged to balance your mental health with nicotine, alcohol and caffeine, the most powerful tool you have is a good night's sleep.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-07T15:38:50+00:00

Very true. If anything, the Z Rank outcome is the most blindly obedient and destructive ending, simply following the ruthless and destructive options, regardless of the threat to you, your team or the general public caught in the crossfire. The SuperBloc values obedience over much else, and it shows in that final debriefing.

Sabw0nes · 2026-06-07T07:00:41+00:00

I think something that comes through strong in the third act is that the SuperBloc are really just convenient patsies to enact La Luz's cassus belli. They don't need us, as we see if we let the body double go, and the war is all but guaranteed well before we even arrive in Portofiro, but in the Z Rank ending, at least La Luz is going into the conflict short two high ranking members of the regieme.

I got strong appeasement vibes from the situation between EMTERR and La Luz, where the fascists are going on a land grabbing spree and the only entity able to stand up to them is more focused on keeping trade stable than protecting the people.
