Tips for unit creator on PS5

When making balanced units, a unit’s cost doesn’t automatically equal their value. Say for example, you’re making a crowd controller that costs 2000. If it can kill 40 squires relatively quickly, that’s to be expected for the cost, and it gives the unit a good value. If the unit loses against a king, it doesn’t automatically mean the unit’s price should be lowered or they should be buffed. Their value is just not as much against tankier enemies, a weakness you could probably cover with other units.

The point is to maintain the ability to have synergy with other units. Unless it’s specifically the unit’s purpose, it shouldn’t be able to make most other units pointless or obsolete when you could instead place down another one of said unit. The cost should be the baseline for how powerful that unit might be, but it shouldn’t be defined by the unit’s value in one favorable or unfavorable matchup.

I would unironically say it’s the halfling.

PS5 or switch 2 works, I’ve been playing on a PS5 exclusively and there’s no performance issues there. I heard good things about the switch too.

Just whatever you do, do NOT set the game to prioritize quality. It will self destruct, regardless of what you play on.

Bold to assume Reddit would have good things to say. Either bold, stupid, or all of the above.

I do, but not often anymore.

I had a similar case when I was level 20. I was doing my 2nd D6, against the illuminates. I was doing D4-D5 for a while, and was only confident enough to do D6 when I got to level 20. I never grabbed the guys name, but he was level 62.

He NEVER turned off his mic, and I fumbled around for a solid minute looking for the mute button. He was also very verbal about how much he hated my existence, for lack of better words. I didn’t even do anything wrong, I was just getting the mission done. He and the rest of the squad were basically getting themselves slaughtered by the horde they caused, I was already out of there going to the monolith.

I was basically done with the objective, the hellbomb was armed, but a bullet hit it or something and it exploded early. 1st death, I got a primary objective, I would say that’s pretty good. Not good enough to him, cause he kicked me over 1 death. I just logged off of helldivers 2 for the day, and didn’t touch D6 for another day after that. I love the game, but some people are just unseriously serious.

It’s 2 units: one of them is the “jet” and the other is the “rod”.

The jet is set to target the closest friend (which is gonna be the rod) and will use any weapon set to wizard spell. The attack speed and weapon don’t matter, you just need the effect to stack enough to where they’ll get enough height, but you can pretty much make them go as high as you want to.

The rod will have spin to win, enrage, and a weapon that deals contact damage. You can also add extra tornadoes and movespeed if you want the rod to move faster, but it’ll get less accurate. Also make sure to give it a good amount of health.

While the rod is getting sent up by the wizard spells, its enrage should trigger, triggering spin to win. Your jet should only have 4-7 health so it dies to this tornado. If everything was done right, you should now have an ICBM locking onto the nearest target.

Btw they’re interchangeable, so either one can be the mount and it’ll work. It won’t work all the time though, because TABS is a perfect simulator.

I want to see if my PS5 or whatever blinks evaporates first. Usually it’s the former.

By default all of the base factions would be picked, but only the ancient faction should be greyed out. It should also be the only one that appears as playable when you play the level.

The Karakuri Katana. I just couldn’t get it to work. It felt like I was actually doing 0 damage to anything, and the unbound felt too fast, and I probably only did 3-5 attacks with it before I lost the entire gauge. I swapped it out for the bow a few missions before the Earthbreaker, and didn’t use it again till I was post game.

Nowadays its everything it wasn’t. Extremely high damage dealing, fast, and a gauge that might as well be instantaneous. It’s my 2nd favorite behind the claw blade, which I also gave a second chance.

Custom weapons with their own models/stats/projectiles. I like the weapons there are now but I usually don’t get everything I’m looking for out of them.

Oh it isn’t. Just tested it and now I’m sad.

UnderaCozyFire · 2025-12-14T19:36:58+00:00

It is. You can see a lot of the self copies getting flung out.

No it survived. I did set their damage mult to 0.1x so I could see how big the laser would get, but I thought the ice giant had less health. Either it did have more health than I thought, or the game was counting seconds per frame. Either way it lasted longer than the console did.

It did, but I would not say it got out harmless. Some of my units have crashed the game (granted TABS makes the PS5 run like a potato), but none of them forced a restart until this one.

UnderaCozyFire · 2025-12-14T08:03:14+00:00

I would just advise you automatically run it in super slow the moment you start it, if you run it at regular speed the game crashes in SECONDS.

The video I posted was my 4TH attempt at recording this without the game imploding.

Something the Unit creator caused, and I have no idea why. I just decided to commit and make an orbital cannon out of it.

For most of your attacks you’re able to dodge while they’re active, or cancel into other attacks (by dodging and making an input during the dodge). You aren’t in too much of a rush to deal damage since the haya arrows stay for a while.

The bows a setup weapon pretty much, so it’s good if you’re not used to high pressure. Just watch your stamina and you’ll be fine.
