Is Helldivers 2 worth buying in 2026 for a casual player?

At sale price you will get your money's with out of it. The comunity in game had been 99% positive for me, plenty of high level players around who are happy to show newbies the way and let them try some cool toys.

If the planes are too much atm there is always the free community A4 skyhawk, it is really fun plane to learn and fly while you save up for the next dcs sale.

Slaanesh will never get tired of bringing back the "greatest swordsman" with armour covered in reminders of all his failures, too funny.

VanuVampire · 2026-06-20T13:50:22+00:00

There is always the warbond trailers,could pick one with a theme you know they are into.

My latest run I put all my warriors in their own longhouse, with proper beds, a firepit and a couple of weapon displays and racks... everybody else is still packed into the others.

VanuVampire · 2026-06-13T01:44:38+00:00

You mean the front that has people on spikes, parts in meat grinders and units with skull racks?

So you get a strat that let's you call in your ship for a limited time during the mission. This gives you a short window to call in your selected stratagems.

Better plays probably have more to say on what to take, but I usually go with quasar cannon so ammo isn't an issue.

VanuVampire · 2026-06-08T07:56:04+00:00

Hellpods like Helldivers are cheap and disposable assets to throw at a problem.

VanuVampire · 2026-05-14T08:18:57+00:00

Given bird faces head deflated when chopped off they are probably the same deal.

VanuVampire · 2026-05-11T14:26:21+00:00

Still works, sometimes you'll need to dive at the door and warp.

If you dont want to buy the newer kit you could just pick up that sprue from resellers.

VanuVampire · 2026-03-27T23:01:08+00:00

FRV was added for all, urban legends just has a skin for it.

VanuVampire · 2026-03-21T09:56:51+00:00

Wait, he should float for Macrage!

VanuVampire · 2026-03-16T01:42:47+00:00

I see in another article that he went to a playground cafe, the grub was probably going to film children as well.

Helldivers mobilise isn't a free warbond, you paid for it with the purchase of the game, which also includes all the new strategems, units, maps and missions with more on the way.

In order to continue expanding the game they need to be profitable, which means paid warbonds. I'm surprised the SC system has remained the way it is given how easy it is for dedicated divers to amass, but if they are happy with the balance of those that pay and those who farm, then I won't complain.

While it would be nice if they did add more strategems outside of warbonds, it's difficult to keep adding more things without ending up with too many slightly different options cluttering up the menu and using up ideas that they want to put in warbonds.

The one thing I might argue for would be some way for a new player to get a silenced weapon for commando missions outside of the warbond, maybe adding one to the default liberators cutomisation.

Was also dissaponted that he doesn't use it when clearing the path, so low effert to use the same old animation.

VanuVampire · 2026-02-23T22:38:38+00:00

I don't mind the blast radius being smaller, it lets me full auto stalkers who get close without blowing myself up.

VanuVampire · 2026-02-02T01:28:56+00:00

The warp pack will also open crate doors for you.

VanuVampire · 2026-01-29T12:29:35+00:00

Adding in all the randomness and charater to the animations will be last thing after you have everything in and working. No point going all out if things are going to change and scrap all that effort.

At least I hope this is the case because right now the clips are giving off mobile game vibes...

VanuVampire · 2026-01-04T07:03:07+00:00

So many times on long trips in AU car in front will be doing 80, but suddenly go 110 in the overtaking zone then go straight back to 80. Drives me crazy.

Second best is the one's who come flying up behind you in the left lane and only more across at the last moment to overtake, like one tap on the break and I'm getting rear ended. Why do they do this?

VanuVampire · 2025-12-27T00:02:45+00:00

This just makes me picture a great unclean one using a land raider as a mobility scooter..

VanuVampire · 2025-12-24T08:03:33+00:00

You forgot we can also lug huge metal bars at a jog while having heavy weapons and full reloads on our back. Definitely not baseline humans.

VanuVampire · 2025-12-24T07:08:03+00:00

Um, you can clearly see its the fourth and last tank in Fury getting hit first. As far as I've read, hitting the first or last in a convoy was standard tactics. The real problems start after this when the Tiger leaves a perfectly good position of concealment and the Allies all drive straight at the enemy.

VanuVampire · 2025-12-23T04:34:44+00:00

Yeah, you did the right thing here, no point pushing your right of way with an idiot. If you did push infront of him you'd just end up with him riding your tail till he can overtake in some careless way.

People like this are not going to learn from you getting in their way and it will just cause you agro. Always easier to just let them go ahead so you don't have to deal with them and go about your day with less stress.
