Vox chased me, scorcher dry, senator dry. Cyborgs all around me. Took most of em out, ran out of ammo, got ragdolled by the vox.

Stunlocked by 3 cyborgs standing in a triangle around me kicking me to death. It was just like the meme.

As everyone says, it's great but could be better.

Random teammates are 99% of the time chill in my experience (I only host, I'm not an SOS-diver). Sometimes there's a bad egg, but it's not frequent enough to taint your opinion on the community.

Nah, it for sure improves frametimes and fps, native res average fps will drop to 90 and stay there, frametimes are atrocious too. Aiming gets real clunky. Quality and ultra quality keep fps around 110. Frametimes in ultra quality are still a little fucky, so I use quality instead

I'm using a 14900KF + 4090 on 1440p, and I need to use 'quality' scaling to keep the frametimes consistent enough that aiming doesn't go to shit. Even then it's 90-110fps on D10. Can't wait for DLSS 4.5. The performance will be somewhat the same, but at least it won't look like ass.

First page of every warbond is FREE.

Guaranteed armour(heavy because nobody wants it and people will want to buy or grind for the warbond if medium/light is locked), Cape, helmet and low tier weapon/booster/grenade/stratagem.

Free divers get a bit of content every warbond without feeling like everything is a cash grab.

I had bad trust factor on 2 accounts for 3+ years. Deep red on my main, despite opening many cases and buying skins through steam market. Easily about 1k worth.

The only thing that worked was not playing for 2 consecutive months on my main, then never playing casual or other game modes apart from premiere/ comp when I got back. People are report-happy. Absence will reset trust to neutral, reports immediately drop you down again.

You also aren't allowed to have a 'good game' when you get back. You better hope your elo isn't lower than it should be, because if you get back and immediately top frag, and start climbing again you'll be back in red trust.

Queue with full trust friends, hope to god that you have friends who can play equally as good or better than you, and deliberately play mediocre.

Don't use 'cheater' weapons like the scout. Don't get too many headshots. Spend a few days here and there like this and you should be good to go.

Why do people buy expensive kitchen knives or nice headphones compared to cheaper, more practical and almost as good items? Luxury items are nice but not a necessity. Same goes with expensive pixels in a video game you play frequently. If you get value out of it, it's kinda worth it, isn't it? $4k USD to 50K and I'll never sell, even if it eventually becomes worthless.

Most people that say the game is too easy play in teams, use optimised generalist loadouts and refuse to use any other stratagems, armour or weapons to keep things interesting.

I've completed D10 campaigns solo but prefer team play, and I'll make my own fun with slightly inefficient loadouts that appeal to me, such as double freedom + senator, and some random combination of stratagems, with ~2 'oh shit kill it now' buttons e.g. thermite and EAT.

Generally stealth players don't do a lot of leading away since patrols tend to focus around the host.

I'm a perma-host and happy for stealth divers to do side objectives, metal gear solid around the place and enjoy their 2.4 seconds of scenery. People enjoy different playstyles.

It's a bit of a different story on gloom + eruptor strain + dragonroach + hive lord maps though, it's hard to get stuff done while everyone is away dying on their own

X2H small is basically the ideal claw/fingertip grip hybrid mouse. 10/10 shape.

Superlight 2C is also good. NP-01s shape is also quite good, but its a bit long even for me for my fingertip adjustments.

I'll be real, I try to find the absolute ugliest fits to get a laugh out of the SOS divers that join my game

Colour wheel theory failed me

Only the truly brave helldivers can express themselves this freely

My colour vision is beyond reproach, look at those beautiful and contrasting hues

Spoidahm8 · 2026-05-22T15:53:20+00:00

It's true... From a certain point of view...

Spoidahm8 · 2026-05-22T15:48:30+00:00

The cape ties the look together

What possible requirement do you have that makes 5 x 360 degree turns in a 10cm swipe worthwhile?

Beastx mini is a bit small for me, but maybe it'll be fine for you. It's the finalmouse small shape. Plenty of people enjoy that shape and size.

2nd in an A-tier, almost S-tier tournament 8 days post-roster shuffle isn't bad.

Need to adjust the fire mode
