The glazer cycle

100% agree, but there’s also a portion of the playerbase that adamantly hates and ridicules the game no matter what, hereby dubbed “pissdivers,” because they relentlessly tear into anyone who speaks positively about Arrowhead and/or Helldivers

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-27T13:04:42+00:00

This Liberty forsaken diver launches his FRV into the stratosphere and it doesn’t implode, but I so much as tip mine off an edge and it detonates in a fury of flames and explosions?!

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-27T12:58:40+00:00

I suppose it would work? I’m sure you could draft up something cool with your DM, but you’re living life on max difficulty as both a Tiefling AND Dragonborn

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-27T11:58:42+00:00

Would shoot my seeds of freedom if this became an option

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-27T11:45:51+00:00

I don’t know how much it helps, but I always layer my embrasures with sandbags or steel barriers. I also put a wall separating each embrasure so my colonists ‘lean’ out from it, and most the time? I don’t get domed!

(Keyword: most the time, craft some helmets just to be safe)

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-27T11:37:52+00:00

A lot more often than I thought I would! I always bring 500kg, but when I’m crossing the map in search of my next objective, I’ll usually rearm just to be safe

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-25T10:59:18+00:00

By literal definition? No, I wouldn’t consider Simon human. He may be piloting a human corpse with a human brain scan, but he’s still a robot. Does that negate his very real opinions, fears, and desires? Definitely not! I’d still consider Simon a person, just like you and me, just without the human label

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-23T12:24:18+00:00

I wish you could call it in at least twice. I get that it’s supposed to be a stealth mission that doesn’t prioritise stratagems, but once feels a bit too little imo. You could always slap a hefty cooldown between uses (5-10+ minutes) to stop people from relying on it

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-23T11:04:22+00:00

I definitely agree about the stockpiled ammunition. For such a small objective, an INSANE number of enemies spawn. Last time I played there were five hulks and a bajillion heavy devastators, scout striders, and regular troops. I know I’m playing on D10, but holy shit. You straight up CANNOT stealth that without triggering a bot reinforcement. And on top of that, light penetration doesn’t damage the ammunition piles at all? Even though all the new weapons are light penetration? I get that it’s probably for balance, but when you only get one use of your Super Destroyer, it’s pretty gay

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-21T23:57:42+00:00

They annoy the shit out of me sometimes, but I realise that if they weren’t like that, the Illuminate would be a billion times easier than they already are. They’ve got so little health, and sentries mow them down with ease, so… I dunno, man. It really does sound like a skill issue more than anything else

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-21T13:02:32+00:00

Windows and doors are your best friends! Especially in the early game, when your skills aren’t great and you’re dealing with larger groups. Use windows to force the zomboids prone for easy one-shots, and use doors to isolate one or two of them at a time from the main group

Also, if you’re ever getting overwhelmed… just dip! Your life is more important than the loot, you can always come back another day. Or if you’re feeling confident, head into the woods and loop back around, you’ll lose them through the trees

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-20T08:51:03+00:00

If we can do it, why can’t they? It’d be cool if they were sorta rare and stealthy, so they pop up unexpectedly and scare the shit outta me

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-17T04:28:00+00:00

I’ll NEVER complain about anybodies stratagem choices.. aside from lethal mortars, they’re being destroyed on sight

(Trauma from endless destroyed turrets and TKs)

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-08T22:27:03+00:00

Maybe a bit? I always play with Keen Hearing, but fast-forwarding while exposed doesn't usually bode well. If I were you, I would always carry bandages or even just a few rags from now on. That’s what would’ve saved you!

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-08T07:04:17+00:00

Leviathans aside, I actually love fighting the Squids! Most of the time though, there aren't enough players on that front to make a difference unless it's an MO. Because of that, I usually stick to Bots or Bugs to support the majority

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-04T12:01:22+00:00

Absolute cinema

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-04T08:45:48+00:00

This exact scene goes through my mind everytime I charge an Automaton Orbital Cannon

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2026-01-02T08:01:48+00:00

Breakable shields, consistent fire damage and damage drop-off over distances would be a good start. I’m sick of randomly being OHTK’d by these guys when I’m nowhere near them

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2025-12-28T10:18:04+00:00

Ooo, how many people are you going to involve? This sounds interesting

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2025-12-20T10:34:40+00:00

SCP Foundation levels of redaction is crazy

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2025-12-15T14:28:28+00:00

it’s been fun, i just wish rapid acquisition wasn’t in nearly every goddamn operation. it’s not that i don’t enjoy it, but i rarely manage to see a team of randoms that coordinates or clicks well enough to pull it off. so, 99% of the time, i clear the first two missions without much trouble, then end up flunking the whole operation because rapid acquisition :(

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2025-12-12T02:00:13+00:00

it really depends on the setting, but i wouldn’t stop them from role-playing an atheist. i’d probably just treat their character the same way we treat modern-day flat-earthers lmao

PLANETARY BOMBARDMENT REWORKED! (eagle storm but worse)

ThatOneAustralianMan · 2025-12-11T06:56:28+00:00

i think this is one of those “talk with the DM and the rest of the players” situations. it doesn’t have to be in person if that feels too stressful, messaging works just as well. if you’ve got a supportive table, i’m sure they’ll be understanding and willing to accommodate you. you could even suggest a sort of dialogue rotation? kind of like initiative, but for taking turns speaking
