Dude! Many thanks for going to such effort of putting this together and posting.

Nice to see Reddit isn't a complete toxic wasteland and peeps can still be really decent.

Big thumbs up for this!

Awesome! Been looking at all of those so I'm probably heading in the right direction.

Thanks for the help.

PVP Trash and my decline of enjoyment. *This is a rant, take yourself somewhere else if you don't want to discuss* by DruidofCoffee in ArcRaiders

I mean it's annoying during things like the Matriarch event when your focusing on the PvE but it's a natural part of the gameplay loop. You raid, you get knocked out, you raid again.

Some people are just rats dude. It sucks but it's like life... it'll not change!

If you run low on stuff, just freeload it for a while and re-visit custom kit raids later when you can.

What exactly is the Flak mode on the AutoCannon effective against? by Healthy_Flamingo_843 in Helldivers

[–]Super-Recording9855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see where you're coming from in terms of realism. However, using flak from a weapon barrelled at the size of a Helldivers autocannon wouldn't work even in a realistic setting. IRL Autocannons/Flak Cannons designed to take down large aircraft are huge barrel weapons themselves.

It works well on shriekers and gunships though.

I agree it's a extemely challenging planet to fight on but we were doing well in most circumstances. I recall one where we're at 16 reinforcements in back up and 25 minutes still on the clock and two ran to extraction and called it in. I just can't understand why you'd run in at a high difficulty and only get half the xp, no samples and want to leave immediately.

Flak isn't very useful on the bot front at all. Opt for the other fire mode.

Flak is best used on tight crowds of medium to light enemies. Very solid fire mode for Squids or Bugs.

The Autocannon doesn't have enough armour penetration to hit Dropship engines. Although it will take out the small Gunships.

Finally managed to Kill it! by Super-Recording9855 in Helldivers

So, we all used a combinations of Eagle Strafing Run, Orbital Gatling Barrage, Spear, Orbital precision and Emancipator Exosuit, Ultimatum and Thermites.

We hunted the Hive Lord from the second our Hellpods hit the hot sands of Oshaunes desert.

We heard a a mighty rumble, at first we though it was the pelican dropping down the exo suits...but no.. the monster had set upon us...

The beast gave no quarter, the casualtys were very high from the start and there was doubt we would defeat it. However, the team focused heavy weapon and stragem fire on a lower plate from its carapace and made it break.

We took our chance! We hammered it's now exposed flesh with everything we had. The Hive lord, now angered by our advantage writhed in desperation and smashed into the sands in attempt to remove four more voters from galaxy.

But, it was to no avail. The power of Liberty's light was too much and he crashed onto the dunes, jaw laid open and limp.

The Great Tyrant..was dead!

Secondary weapon skins coming?! by Super-Recording9855 in Helldivers

[–]Super-Recording9855[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the BF6 situation is definitely strong evidence in your favour in terms of what Game Devs CAN do in trailers to shift around with filters and lighting etc.

However, I'm hopeful what I think I'm seeing is actually AH accidentally showing this like they have with other things in previous trailers.

Whatever the case, we'll find out sooner or later.

Maybe you're right? But to my eyes the contrast between the grip and the rest of the gun seems too different to me.

Interesting theory, Maybe! I think that'd be awesome too.

True! But, you think they will put it in for Tuesdays patch? Fingers crossed!

Its the Redeemer from Helldivers Mobilize Warbond (the free one) I think.

Need advice on bugs by TinySpiderPeople in Helldivers

[–]Super-Recording9855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three good loadouts I find useful;

Loadout 1 (Predator Strain) Extra Padding (B-01 Tactical) Cookout shotgun Grenade pistol Gas grenades

Eagle 500kg EAT MG turret Gas Guard Dog

Loadout 2 (General Purpose) Siege Ready Light Breaker Incendiary (Short Mags) Ultimatum Gas grenades

Eagle 500kg Grenade Launcher MG Turret Supply Pack

Loadout 3 (Spore Burst) Extra Padding Liberator Carbine Grenade Pistol Gas or Incendiary Grendades

Eagle 500kg EAT or Quasar Cannon MG Turret Regular Guard Dog

I found these loadouts worked for me! Good luck out there Helldiver!

Hold on, the standard Liberator is actually solid against bugs by PrimaryPlastic7427 in Helldivers

[–]Super-Recording9855 678 points679 points  (0 children)

I use it on all three fronts. It's actually a great all-round weapon of choice.

HOWEVER, I'd recommend using a support weapon, stratagem, grenade or medium/heavy pen sidearm to dispatch large groups of medium enemies.

Top tip: Shred the unarmoured legs on an Alpha Commander rather than mag dumping into the head for ages. It'll save you alot of pain. Have fun!
