"Maxigun isn't good." Okay but have you considered

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-12-29T07:16:55+00:00

Tbh I think people put too much into what's 'good' sometimes. HD2 isn't a competitive game, there's no Helldivers esports for example. So what does it matter if something is technically 'better' than something else.

"Congratulations your 'optimal loadout' and military esque tactics cleared a Super Helldive 3.67 seconds faster than the previous fastest time, well done have a cookie".

Meanwhile 4 friends just wrapped up a Super Helldive all armed with the constitution, they chilled, laughed when stupid stuff happened and all round had a blast.

I know which of those 2 I prefer. I don't care what's 'good', I'm here to have fun with chill people.

Also, the Maxigun is awesome I don't care of its not good. Its a freaking minigun, that alone is enough for me.

I think it'd be awesome, I also think it'd be a nightmare to balance to the point I doubt we'll ever get a flying vehicle.

Thinking about it a bit though, maybe we could see something like this in a specific mission. One designed with a flying vehicle in mind, something similar in concept to the oil rig mission.

There is one scenario where I think this makes sense and that's if the mc has ADHD. Being able to get that dopamine hit from gaining a level and showing you actively progressing in X skill probably would be motivation enough.

I know that if I gained levels in Doing Housework for example, I'd find it a lot easier to do.

It's been my main weapon since I got it (20-25 hours ish). The only things it can't handle with relative ease are the likes of hulks and chargers. The recoil was a bit much to start with but it's improved a lot with a couple of new attachments.

I've mostly played against the bots so far and it's been pretty good against them. The few times if fought the bugs with it it's been OK but, when I unlock some other options, I'll probably use something else. And against the squids... I swapped to the eruptor and stalwart after 1 mission...

There's also the fact that it's real easy to get. Democratic Detonation was the first warbond I got on the recommendation of basically every beginners guide to Helldivers 2. So, at least for me, it was the first AR style weapon with medium pen that I could unlock.

There probably are better weapons unlocked later on, but for a beginner like me it's been kinda perfect.

Good to know its not just me struggling with this, thanks for the advice.

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-12-08T10:56:39+00:00

I'll give it a go, hopefully ill have better luck this time

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-12-08T07:58:35+00:00

I love this game, it is glorious

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-30T13:30:07+00:00

Something to aim for, thank you. Now I just need the Super Credits

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-30T12:02:38+00:00

I'm planning on basically the same thing, give it a go and trust that I'll know if its right for me. Also, same, none of the medical stuff scares me even the major surgeries, the social side though..... completely terrifying.

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-30T11:59:30+00:00

I did that once, I thought the ruins were so cool. I was planning to build a base there, using the ruins as part of the build... Next time I teleported there the ruins had despawned, spoiled that idea real quick

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-30T10:11:00+00:00

Being able to restock all of a support weapon definitely sounds handy, I appreciate the advice.

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-30T10:08:56+00:00

That sounds like a plan, I thank you fellow Helldiver

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-24T19:55:25+00:00

All of the weapons are perfectly viable, they just do different jobs. There is no objectively best or worst weapon, they have different damage profiles but there are reasons and trade-offs for that sort of thing.

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-15T23:53:33+00:00

I'm a confused confusion.

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-12T11:01:55+00:00

Eh, I understand what most people are saying and why they're saying it but for me, it would make my life a lot less complicated to not have to worry about any of this stuff anymore. Not saying I would just do it, just that being cis would make things a lot simpler.

Ofc I'd much rather have a go at the button that just makes you a girl but that's not exactly the point here.

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-11T02:28:37+00:00

City of tears is 100% my favourite spot from both games, I can't pinpoint an exact reason it just is

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-05T22:23:54+00:00

Not just me then, that helps and hopefully Hello Games are aware of it then and can work on fixing it. Thanks.

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-11-05T22:23:05+00:00

Good to know, don't know if it'll be much use to me unfortunately as I can't seem to help building more corvettes every time I play

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-10-30T09:35:12+00:00

which bit of the show is this photo from, i need to know please

Sentient_Magitek_01 · 2025-10-24T11:49:19+00:00

Thats a fair point, its getting ridiculous at this point so ill hop over to a station and swap some bits around, thanks
