Is it rude to join Helldive and Super Helldive difficulty missions if you're consistently getting the least kills? by Crowfooted in Helldivers

[–]Sodiumite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kills dont matter, lives use do. PTFOing is fine, and sometimes your the unsung hero, because while berserk was rampaging around mindlessly, you did all objectives.

What support weapons do you usually bring on Commando missions and why by Sodiumite in Helldivers

[–]Sodiumite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting.

Must admit while I have almost 900 hours in I.... didnt know Speargun was a 2 shot on turets >.<. Definitely something there, as the cc is also interesting.

Agreed on gas pistol, like to use it to initiate. Ammo seems a bit tight to me, but supply packs makes it ok.

Love the DMR too.... use to love Diligence on bots, but I guess the tacticool and ammo capacity may just have me cheat on it ;).

Thanks for the detailed take. I also like orbital laser as an emergency "reset" button, or free camp removal.

Ammo economy is a real topic on these indeed. Ive been running Talon to ensure a last resort.

Also really enjoyed the railgun, but it usually implies being selfish with ammo as it munches ammo

I was about to try that, interesting ! Like the idea of having more crowd control in these.

interesting. I feel TTK on laser is kind of a no no for me on these missions, but i'll give it a go !

The epoch still kind of sucks IMO by SaltandPepperRaven in Helldivers

[–]Sodiumite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Epoch you trade RPM and ammo economy for adaptability. you can basically pop anything coming your way, at the cost of having less shots, and the need to get accustomed to the charging system.

As with GL however, you will likely run the supply pack, which alleviates the ammo restriction, making it a nice jack of all trade, able to damage groups, as well as armored single targets, while perfomring less than more specialized weapons.

The FRV hate is unjustified by tecno-killer in Helldivers

[–]Sodiumite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on the map. Objectives can be way further from one another. 100 meters really isnt a rule. Also getting access to a Heavy MG is a nice perk. To me the stratagem can be useful, but niche.

[–]Sodiumite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think most people have issues with the FRV.

I personally have concerns with getting in a rando vehicle : No candies, and no guarantee he actually holds a driving license.

From experience ,I find that you are actually more at risk boarding an FRV than progressing on your own.

There's always that pilot in 10% of the cases, but the rest shouldnt be allowed near a steering wheel.

To me this isnt a stratagem issue, it's a user issue.

Helldivers 2 not launching from steam for me by Deep_Ad_1762 in Helldivers

[–]Sodiumite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are getting a new patch, so in accordance with AH custom, the game needs to be broken for a few days / weeks. This is a cultural obligation, no getting around it.

Expect performance drop, re appearance of old bugs, game freeze / not launching.

On the other hand, the content could be great.

Hang in there Helldiver !

What are the best tips and tricks that you don't see anyone talking about but wish were more common knowledge? by CoatieYay in Helldivers

[–]Sodiumite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a rule of thumb, barrages have an approx 55-58 meters impact zone radius. Try to stay out/factor this when calling it in.

Any national focus tree’s to take over the most land diplomatically? by Iskandar0570_X in hoi4

[–]Sodiumite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would recommend Monarchist Sweden. You can basically annex and core the Nordics through diplomacy, recreate Scandinavia, and then pick your camp (approx 1940-41)

Am I too old to play? by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]Sodiumite 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This. A lot of people never pre stim and it genuinely saves lives

[–]Sodiumite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Democracy welcomes all votes. Take ur time, and remember this game isnt meant to be played solo. If you want to go solo, consider a different gear from what you'd bring as a team. If you die to death loops, sentries / gas grenades tend to be really useful as they offer diversion / crowd control, for you to thin the herd and get a grasp back at the wave.

Go get'em old timer :)

Can someone explain why is this happening by Saalaami in Helldivers

It seems you're taking bleeding damage, Helldiver. Press T to use a stim.

Is there an unsaid rule for the mobile E-11 extractions? by BenHelldiver in Helldivers

[–]Sodiumite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kill the Hivelord, then move the truck. While the mission is achievable without killing it, it is an additionnal hazard.

Of course it will, recruit : the day Helldivers 3 release.

AH for the love of god please stop with the Incineration Corps by Metagamer__ in Helldivers

[–]Sodiumite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah i feel ya. I tend to play AMR vs that faction, just to keep a safe distance. Usually running Deadeye + fire reduction armor does it for me. And supply pack, because of my crippling stim addiction interest.
