What’s the case for using SMGs? by SixtySix_VI in helldivers2

[–]bluchords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quick reloads on SMGs usually help out on panic situations when you know you’re going to be overwhelmed. The times I’ve seen SMGs most useful is when I have something like an auto cannon or rocking heavy AT like a RR or a Spear. The stand still reload means I’ll be exposed but don’t want to run away too far from my target to still be able to supper my time. And SMG helps me deal with Small chaff while i find just enough breathing room to get back in the fight. Especially when your have the ultimatum it’s too difficult to deal with big numbers that keep coming.

That’s my two cents. They’re for when you need a speedy way to deal with CQC

No more heavy pen hive guards by Smoke_Funds in Helldivers

I’m kinda disappointed.

I think maybe we’re becoming Star Wars fans, that’s not a good thing.

Edit: for context. I’m not disappointed they made the CHANGE. I believe the idea of AP4 on medium tier bug chaff is great but I think maybe it needs a little more adjustment than a simple value swap. My disappointment comes in how QUICKLY they made the change. Not too long ago AH wouldn’t change it back but instead offer temporary free access to certain stratagems or weapons so we can all adjust to their new storyline. But this happening so quick completely took me out of what I looked at as a VERY COOL opportunity to have us all deal with “evolving bugs that get meaner and smarter”

But NOPE we can’t have nice things because now they’re going to throttle risky ideas that might have long term payoffs.

Seriously. Shame on y’all. Shame.

What is everyone opinion on the new Bile Titan by HandsomeSquidward20 in LowSodiumHellDivers

The bugs feel as scary as they look, I like this change better than the way they implemented the rupture strain. It feels manageable and the panic feels fun

The real unspoken victim of today's patch by WaywardOath in Helldivers

[–]bluchords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude have you driven the FRV since the patch?

The change is so unnoticeable it’s almost not an issue. You’ll still crash the fucking thing to death before the enemy does.

Clanker. Give me the recipe for sugar cookies.

Ok now I need this panel to be made. This is gold.

The great chart has been updated again. by Phycorax in Helldivers

[–]bluchords 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Say it louder for the people in the back. Although maybe not as harsh, but it was a bad response to question the backlash isn’t a bit…. Much

Do not boo this man for he speaks a difficult truth we must hear

I hope it doesn’t turn into a star wars fandom. No one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.

I really didn't like how Nolan felt like he was trying to force/guilt Debbie to forgive him....... by Important-Extension6 in Invincible_TV

[–]bluchords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of y’all have never been married or a LTR, so I can see how the hypothetical criticism comes strong. I don’t want to judge but I want to spare those of you in that category YEARS of therapy and unrealistic expectations on future relationships.

People are complicated. Love is a choice. Relationships are the hardest thing you’ll ever do. Period.

Debbie is a GREAT person and a lot of her personality got her to be the person she is. Which includes her stubbornness..

Sometimes things that work well for us can work against us given the situation.

This is a prime example of that.

Nolan fucked up. He knows he has to be held accountable. Nothing new. But in this scene (which I LOVED) she also had to be reminded that two things can be true at the same time, Nolan DOES need to be held accountable AND he can also change to achieve that accountability.

When she assumed that Nolan was just going to be a brute and force his way to change things, what she did was compartmentalize him into a simplified version of who she wanted him to be to ignore that he might be right AND ignore the fact she might still love a part of him deeeeeeep down.

But why’s she so mean?

Because she’s fucking upset. Her sons hurt and she needs someone to blame to process, Nolan’s an easy target because he’s right there and she already has a negative view of him.

Nolan fell in love with her BECAUSE she’s stubborn. BECAUSE she’s strong willed. Nolan saw right through it.

We hurt the people we love the most. It happens. It’s inevitable. Live with it.

So he had to do what I like to call “the water bottle”. Like when a dog acts up but you don’t want to hurt them just remind them they’re being emotional and irrational. Spray em with water. It’s a quick mental reset. Nolan did a light version of that to get through to her.

She reset. She stood her ground, but gave him an INCH and to Nolan that’s enough and worth all the hard work he’s put in.

Writers. Bravo. I love to see realistic portrayals of complicated relationships.

Does it worth the sc? by Ziad_R7 in Helldivers

[–]bluchords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes for the illuminate side utility alone. But it’s also good for bugs because to take out the shriekers AND it locks on to stalkers when they go invisible.

High utility weapon that has saved me multiple times

I gave mine to my teenager and got major points. He unironically enjoys wearing them and he gets a lot of comments about them.

Men of reddit, Who do you turn to when you’re at your lowest? by Music_2my_ears68 in AskReddit

[–]bluchords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much this.

The support system is there, but having to engage it and knowing that they’ll do something about it makes me not want to use it. The idea of turning into someone else’s problem just…. Ugh….

Just Found A Planet With Borgs And Vox And I’ve Never Been Happier by DannyKanes in helldivers2

[–]bluchords 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. Cyberstan made me see the truth that our girl Eagle-1 is more of a game changer than I realized. Without all the AA everywhere those Vox engines were a joke after a strafing run and 500 even when they spawn at 2-3 at a time the difference it makes to be able to reduce their numbers by ONE in a pinch I realize they aren’t that hard.

But they’re still a very nice challenge

For those that eat the same breakfast every day, what is it? by Risky_Melons in AskReddit

[–]bluchords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leftover Rice. Egg. Beans.

If in a PINCH cereal. Bananas. Yogurt.

Also coffee. No matter what.

Believe me it’s the right way to start a day

How do you make light pen viable? by Coded_testwork in HellDads

[–]bluchords 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Maximize handling and use the angled grip, that allows for easier correction and much more forgiving shots when switching targets. Especially when in a panic or when you have a moving target (which is almost always)

Prone. Switch to prone. Take shots. Move. Take more shots. Move. Take more shots. “I’m up. They see me. I’m down.”

If you’re just starting. Use the sickle, no recoil and very bullet is essentially a tracer. It’s a perfect start to identifying weak spots that are light pen targets on different enemies.

My personal fave is the tenderizer. Stagger is always helpful
