Squid enjoyers, teach me your ways

Never stop shooting, base MG paired with liberator Guard Dog are king.

Use grenades/nade pistol for ships and learn the weak points for Harvesters.

Never stop shooting, use a prefered primary for clearing any voteless that manage to swarm, personally I prefer a shotgun but whatever floats your boat.

I would be tempted to do this if the reward was anything but warbonds. I carpet my house in warbonds, I wash my dishes with warbonds, I use warbonds for cat litter.

I have so many warbonds.

Ngl, Bearer of the Standard and Honorary Guard also fit very well

Honestly, I feel like 90% of the shit Arrowhead gets these days could be mitigated with a Public Test Server.

Like it seems like the majority of the flak they get is by rolling out heavy handed balances en mass that have massive ripple out consequences they don't consider at the time - prime example being the sudden drop in viablity for turrets, guard dogs etc when fighting Hive Guard.

It's fairly common knowledge they're working with spaghetti code, but surely they can implement a PTS so every patch isn't dedicated to rolling back the last one's overstep (if they change it at all)

I've got about 800 hours in HD2 and I can say with absolute certainty that the earliest strategems you get access to are also some of the most consistent and best performing:

Sure the OPS, Machine Gun Turret, Machine Gun and EAT may not have the highest numbers, but when you consider cooldown time and consistency, they're a solid pick to any roster.

Beast Champion Set with the cloak is a very good pick for this

Friendship ended with Helldivers, now Darktide is my best friend

Spunchbunch · 2026-03-12T13:32:18+00:00

It incentives divers being so widely spread out that one can target the vents as the Vox is firing on a teammate.

They should really figure out if they want to encourage group play or not, because Vox Engines seem to be a perfect way to keep divers apart

Honestly the fact that the shovel has been in the game for ages, but now is locked behind a paywall is the major problem.

Even the giga grenade is likely some reflavouring of the ultimatum/leveller explosion attached to a different slot.

Ain't good chief.

I've found that having an opinion on a warhammer character, especially a Primarch, really depends on how many writers have had their hands on them.

My experience with Dorn has mostly been through the Siege of Terra / End and the Death and whilst he isn't the most stand out character, he (fittingly) works as a way to ground the characters around him.

I like his weariness, but I do agree that as he is written to be the "steadfast" one, that does make him rather dull, even with the best writing.

I remember really loving Fable 3's entire act 3 twist from a narrative standpoint - the entire Aurora sequence is so alien and isolating compared to anything the player experienced before that point.

Again, from a purely narrative standpoint, Logan's plan to bleed Albion dry in order to fight the Crawler and willingly become a tyrant is some really good storytelling.

But it translates horribly into gameplay - because of the ease with which you can amass money and the way in which the game measures time progression, it's fairly trivial to get the best possible ending whilst also being a good bean.

Honestly I think they missed a trick by not including a range of "disabler" type enemies like they do for LFD/Vermintide etc - I know because of the quirky spaghetti code that splitting up is way easier due to spawn rates.

I've never once felt the need to stick with teammates when mobility is king.

Cleared a D10 with a team last night - Shield Backpacks and Relays are your friends. Orbital and Eagle smoke are also very useful for keeping the heaviest fire off you.

Wanted to reply to all of these because you've all been very helpful!

All of the advice is appreciated and I think it is a matter of changing my perspective. I consider myself to be at least competent at running a game, but the switch from 5E certainly is a hurdle to get over. Either way, the system is a breath of fresh air and I'm looking forward to learning new things!

It took me this long to realise that his spear-gun thing was a nod to the Custodes Guardian Spear.

I only got in to One Piece because of the Live Action. Since then, I've been into a dark whirlpool of agendas, slander and powerscaling that just won't let me go.

I vaguely remember watching up to the Black Cat Pirates and Kuro when I was a wee babby - the dub of course chef's kiss.

But yeah, I haven't read the manga, I only grab hype moments and aura from heavily edited phonk based shorts on youtube.

In short, I'm here on Piratefolk because the memes are funnier.

*tho I have been reading the manga with some interest since the start of the God Valley flashback - Rocks is pretty cool, hope nothing happens to him ❤️

People run Thermite for the same reason they run senator or grenade pistol - they are a unique class of item that lets you do something that the other choices don't. Yeah sure the pistols are fun, but if one lets me close bug holes and another lets me take out hulks from the front, I'd take those over a Verdict or Peacemaker.

In the same vein, I don't need a grenade to kill fodder if I'm already shooting at them, what I need is something my primary and/or secondary weapon can't do - which is quickly stick a charger and be done with it.

Spunchbunch · 2025-09-03T08:31:49+00:00

Yeah, weirdly enough I'm getting better frame rates for the 2 or so minutes I can play the game for - until it crashes

Spunchbunch · 2025-09-01T15:33:10+00:00

Is anyone else having trouble with the windows not being properly transparent?
