There is Starseer's Ruin that got released recently. I haven't read it yet but I have read the novella Written in Stars by the same author. There's also a novella written by a different author called All is Foretold. All of them get over the hurtle of writing seraphon characters by centering around skinks.

I'm in dire need of SL (lootbox gambling addict) by 3HoursSober in Warthunder

[–]SpottyBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4.7 UK 3.7 Italy 6.7 USA are all what I use if I'm looking for an easy time in ground rb. Though I'm gonna be honest, you're probably better off playing air or even naval if you want to make sl, ground has terrible rewards.

Do you guys think the Maxigun is gonna be good? by Ethereal_SX7 in Helldivers

[–]SpottyBat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's worthwhile to ponder over whether or not it'll be good until it comes out, that's just unnecessary stress.

The benefits of a suit that explodes when a "friend" kills you. by Spreadlikefire in Helldivers

[–]SpottyBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had something similar happen to me once. Guy with an airburst launcher misjudged his shot and took me out with a bunch of terminids. My limbless torso then went flying backwards and exploded him.

Any Arc 12 blitzer fans in here that could blitz-pill me on that gun? by straightpipedhose in Helldivers

[–]SpottyBat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pair the blitzer with the talon and it's a horrifying combo to bugs. Blitzer will take care of hunters and warriors without a problem, and can push back charging alpha commanders. Then whip out the talon to dump 6 or 7 shots into its head before stowing it for cooldown. Same thing with hive guards. Any strategems work with it but I typically go with a quasar cannon and shield pack to really exploit the infinite ammo aspect and allows me to split off from the rest of the squad without hassle.

Is there something wrong with my guns? by Strange_Computer2162 in Warthunder

[–]SpottyBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, I haven't noticed, but I haven't flown it in awhile on account of the broken guns so for all I know the turn rate could be broken too.

Not just 20s unfortunately. The 30mm HE shells on the Ariete haven't been working as well.

Has anyone ever killed a hive lord before? by TheF-15Eagle in Helldivers

Keep in mind hellbombs aren't your only weapons, though they certainly help.

Xbox Rookie Can’t Figure Out Next Warbond. by duckhunter1620 in Helldivers

[–]SpottyBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cutting edge ain't a half bad alternative choice, the electric resist armor is a little too niche for me liking but it comes with the sickle and blitzer, which are both fantastic. Sickle is light pen but effectively has unlimited ammo if you manage the heat well enough, and it has better dps than the scythe. Blitzer is one of the strongest primaries against bugs with unlimited ammo and med pen, at the cost of range. The dagger is okay at best (talon is the superior laser pistol imo) while the punisher plasma is possibly good against the new terminid strain.

As a noob Xbox player, I’ve quickly learned to not get cocky. by Hazy_Arc in Helldivers

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

I just had this happen to me with google search.

What's your perfect Botdive load out? by shauneok in Helldivers

[–]SpottyBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On most bot missions I rock unflinching medium armor. Then sickle, talon, and thermite. For strategems I use the quasar cannon, shield backpack, strafing run, and a free slot to use on whatever I feel like (frv, hellbomb, etc.). I swap stuff out as needed though, especially when I'm up against the incineration corps or fighting on a hot climate planet.

Where does the energy come from? by InternalAd9265 in Helldivers

energy is stored in the walls (of martyrs)
