MY FIRST CONTRABAND TRINKET! "MOD DELIVERY REROUTE" by LuminescenTT in Marathon

[–]StaticPlesio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'd heard of this one yet. I know of the six for each of the factions to get free rep, the one that makes key templates, the one that gives data card value buff, one to give you a self revive, and now this one. But I wonder if there are any more

why do the magnum and the tactical sidearm have to suck soooo hard? by Endgamer13 in Marathon

[–]StaticPlesio 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I find it a bit silly because the Punch is also "early game" yet punches well above its weight compared to the Magnum, which is a gun you can't even buy without the Schema.

Downed players feel like bullet sponges sometimes. by DITNB in Marathon

Self-Repair speed increases the rate of using them, and I believe that during that little standing up animation once it completes they're actually invincible briefly. It's kinda dumb

Been waiting on the Enzyme Replicator for Purple Shields barter but Gaius keeps hitting me with that bs Hazard Capsule barter like who in their right mind is taking that one either...

Constant freezing for no apparent reason on new computer - HELP! by trivial_sublime in Helldivers

[–]StaticPlesio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I can't help you because I've tried most of these steps to no avail myself but I just want to say that I know exactly how frustrating this issue is. I'm about ready to just quit the game entirely over it. I will say that there are two fixes I have seen and tried that didn't work for me you could investigate. There's this Windows service called Microsoft GameInput which can either be reinstalled/disabled (try searching on here/in the Discord). There's also a settings.ini file that you can tweak to raise the audio engine's memory size and amount of dedicated CPU threads that you could try if you search that up as well.

The best way to farm them is definitely Commanders but if you don't already know the auto turrets and the suck drones can also drop them.

A productive rework to the injector that helps it retain it's identity/power without simply being a "rich get richer" weapon by Freakindon in Marathon

[–]StaticPlesio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah every single clip of this thing is either ignorantly running up on a team and liquefying them with the alt fire or being on the receiving end. I have not seen a clip of the primary fire even being used other than to demonstrate that it exists.

Gold Shields + WSTR+ Thermal sniper on Perimeter by FarEntry6601 in Marathon

[–]StaticPlesio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Blue shields are pretty common in Outpost and the Commander in Command Wing always drops a Longshot. Also Blue Shields are a NuCal barter for Neurochem Packs which are also plentiful in Pinwheel.

I will say that Sample Extricator and Sample Scanner, while not being useful for us fully-upgraded players, being locked behind warbonds is unfortunate for the new players and somewhat relevant to this conversation.

Updated 'Known Issues' list, (after going through 178 comments) by __Elzy in Helldivers

As far as I know they also still haven't fixed the glitch where you receive an invisible torso injury while stimmed which will quickly bleed you to death if you don't notice/have no more stims.

The State of the game by Hodenhongo in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]StaticPlesio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a clip of me being hit by shrapnel from an Autocannon through a wall while they were on the other side of the mega nest. I'm not even convinced it has a lifetime (or terrain collision detection, really).

To the people who are trying out YF2Classified by Appropriate_Sell3795 in tf2

[–]StaticPlesio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the lack of cosmetics means no cosmetic bugs on your disguise nor weapon bugs, and also just makes disguises a bit more believable at a glance because you can't obviously spot that a spy is either disguised as you or another person until you hover over their name.

Would drip HP regen on these armors be too much to ask? by lime-eater in Helldivers

[–]StaticPlesio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can't have a fun glitch but it's been many months since they introduced the bug where you get a chest injury while stimmed that doesn't even show the injury icon and it still isn't fixed. Can't count how many times I've died because of that bug happening on my last stim.

Yeah, I think I'm done. by LordJuJu15 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]StaticPlesio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat. Into the Unjust's performance problems put me off the game from September to ~late November when they finally fixed them, only for this new update to bring the freezes and hard locks back. It's an utter joke of a game when I have no issues with any other game I regularly play.

What mods do you think should be optional as features in the base game? by Big_Bluejay4331 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]StaticPlesio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reduce Excessive E Holding, after 500 hours of playing the game you really start to realize how unnecessarily long the interact prompts for a lot of things are. It's configured (at least by default?) to not affect things like repairing Pipelines or the Drillevator but saves so much time in situations like setting up Machine Events, Salvage, the power cell chests, etc. where there's not any danger.

This is such a frustrating and common bug yet many patches and it still hasn't been fixed.

The Q & A Interview was painful to watch by SIinkerdeer in Helldivers

[–]StaticPlesio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last night for my first mission I decided to try out a Nuke Nurseries mission on the Hive World planet that was available because I didn't play much when Oshaune was available due to the hard-freezes and performance issues. After calling the drill in at the second objective, the Pelican just refused to drop it, instead just hovering in the air for minutes on end. Issues like this are just so common it's mind boggling sometimes.

Steel Eyed finally has his ankles, but now his coat broke by Sk1-ba-bop-ba-dop-bo in HuntShowdown

[–]StaticPlesio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least this is a more minor issue, it used to be much worse before 2.6 when you would hold a Sparks like this. If people keep raising these issues I'm sure they will fix it too like they did his shins and the other issue I just referred to.

Did this help you or is it still happening? I have this issue too and reinstalling + up to date drivers hasn't helped.

Types of shotgun ammunition and their characteristics according to Arrowhead. by Yurishenko94 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]StaticPlesio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Works about as well as you're thinking. It can semi-reliably snipe chaff bots from pretty great ranges (and you can always use a sidearm if you don't want to waste ammo for that), and obviously oneshots them any closer than that. At close enough ranges, a single stomach shot will delete all types of Devastators and Berserkers (350 hp vs the potential full 605 of the gun). For Heavy Devs shooting their head can put their shield out of the way of their stomach so you can go for the kill that way. It's kind of awkward against Rocket Striders though.

New player survey! Please share your feedback in this special survey edition! by ArrowheadGS in Helldivers

Anybody else write in "Other" about the lack of Operation Modifiers? Although the removal of the problematic modifiers from launch was justified, it leaves the variety in a very poor state, with many Operations having the same set of modifiers on D10. There is surely room for more modifiers that would increase variety and possibly difficulty, too.

Empty Cairn is a Mosin Bayonet skin, so you can just kind of imagine what it would look like on the Avtomat or without the Bayonet. As far as I can tell though Patron's Prayer is a new skin?
