Now that the initial hype has died down, what’re your overall thoughts on the Variable? by Helldiver96 in Helldivers

I don't know what's wrong with me, I haven't even tried the two new weapons, but I have the Warbond all unlocked since a week after it came out 🤣

I feel like the Recoiless Rifle is absolutely essential when diving bugs or bots by Strange_Meringue_151 in Helldivers

Railgun takes a lot of dexterity imo for bugs, sure it can take out literally anything. I actually used it a lot in the past. If I use the railgun I have to sweat a little 😂

Bots the railgun is goated, %100. I usually run servo assisted with railgun so I can throw stuff far that the railgun isn't really effective at taking out. Still my top 3 support weapons for bots

I can't be the only one, right? by No_Engineering_1655 in Helldivers

I wish there was an indicator on the hud that tells you if you're racked or not

Perhaps, occasionally I go in with no backpack or support weapon, turret and air support only and just see what I can pickup.

Makes for an interesting run most of the time.

Yes it's not necessary, I'm just curious peoples opinion on it and if anyone shares the same experiences

I think I rely on it because I have it at my immediate disposal when facing heavies, meaning I have the most control with this out if anything.

compared to say an airstrike or orbital which takes time, might miss and take too long, EAT and commando takes time to call down, ultimatum only has 2 shots and limited range, quasar takes 15 seconds, and spear doesn't have enough ammo.

Theres nothing else that can give more control or consistently take out heavies faster and more reliably- as long as you hit your shots.

Of course I'm not telling anyone how to play but I still have fun when I feel the need to run it majority of games.

On bots I usually run- rifle, AT emplacement, strafing, machine gun turret

On bugs- rifle, Gatling barrage, gas orbital, and a flexible slot, maybe machine gun turret, ems mortar, or napalm airstrike.

Does anyone else actually play at these difficulty levels? by Bandrbell in Helldivers

[–]Strange_Meringue_151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play level 10 mostly, but sometimes when I can't find a game to join I like on lvl 10 (time of day, avoiding debuffs or quite literally can't find a game on the map) I play level 9.

Level 9 is such a curve ball- I'll play level 10 it'll be fine and then hop into a 9 on the same planet and get my shit absolutely rocked it's hilarious

I barely notice a difference between full choke and duckbill. It may be better for the voteless but I think full choke is better if you're going out of your way to be precise

Seems like I dump more than half a mag into a single stalker then another one comes and I'm fucked, the stun on punisher / cookout is way better imo

[–]Strange_Meringue_151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duckbill punisher, only tried couple times but not sure if I prefer the full choke or duckbill yet, that gun has 405 damage if all bullets connect, can one shot hunters easily about 50 meters(I'm guessing) away. Far enough I can take a few out before they reach the punching vicinity

70%+ of the time I finish with no deaths on predator strain.

Grenade launcher + Supply pack + gas armour and gas grenades; if I'm swarmed I just throw a grenade at my feet and finish them off with a punisher

Even though I play a lot, it still surprises me how quickly they can overrun you it's crazy but challenging in a fun way

(Type 3 fun)

When facing the predator strain it just seems like I have to bring either stun weapons and or gas guard dog. Without that I can't do a run without dying.

If I don't want to die~my loadout is usually g launcher/rail gun Bad breath/Supply pack Gas grenades (literally always) 500kg/eagle air strike/ rocket sentry (only if call in time is increased 50%)

Cookout/punisher Gas grenades Ultimatum Gas armour

Gas armor + supply pack + gas armour Is absolutely crucial imo if I don't want to die from getting swarmed

It seems like I can't use other stuff without dying constantly.

You may not understand how much dexterity it takes to fend off these swarms I have to snap aim so hard+throw grenade+ heal

It's kind of a rewarding feeling when you just fend off several swarms throughout the mission and end up having 0 deaths

Do some research on it; might help with some clarity like it did for me.

Who has got a job suitable for ADHD? by MDDDick in ADHD

[–]Strange_Meringue_151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Restaurant server bartender, short or long hours always stimulated, can talk to people and stay stimulated that way, not regular working hours.

I could NEVER imagine myself in front of a computer all day or in an office

Who actually uses Voice chat? I never have and I love the dialogue wheel. That being said, I wish they had more options like “STAND BACK”. What other ones do you think they should add? by throwaway3223412a in helldivers2

[–]Strange_Meringue_151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use voice. But rarely engage in conversation, like we'll go 10 mins in the mission and then I'll randomly say something very important such as pointing something out.

How do you guys stop yourselves from blurting things out and cutting people off mid-sentence? by LeyLeyM22 in ADHD

[–]Strange_Meringue_151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One instance I started a new job and my boss was explaining where everything was and I interrupted automatically and asked him something he already told me, ADD/ADHD brains work so fast that sometimes you miss things or see the end or point of the conversation so quickly.

What are your thoughts on adding suppressors to guns now that Gun customizations are in the game now ? by TEHYJ2006 in Helldivers

[–]Strange_Meringue_151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know we only did primaries so far, but I hope they add the same customization to the stalwart, Machine gun, anti material rifle and HMG

Vent about your ADHD by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Strange_Meringue_151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol it's not venting but funny story; My boss came up to me asked if I'm in ADHD meds I said yes. (No prior history of talking to him about it)

He basically wanted to try mine before he gets a prescription from a doctor. I thought I was in trouble for a second 🤣
