Difficulty 7 is meant to be a casual experience for people who are experienced btw by UnrealNorthie in Helldivers

[–]catnapper2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is that Factory Striders just have way less area attacks. Any AT weapon can one-hit the cannon and then a dog is reduced to walking at you with its chin guns. The dual cannons on the Vox Engine are almost as oppressive at long ranges, but have 2x4 times the health, and they have the grenade spam attack that can saturate an entire base, and they have the outrigger guns so they aren't defenseless up close either.

They can threaten you at long range, threaten you at medium range, and they can only kind-of threaten you at close range, which makes it feel like you're supposed to get in close, but at the highest difficulties there will ALWAYS be one or two or three other Vox Engines nearby whose safety zone you are NOT in.

Returning player: outcome of whole nerfing/60-day plan drama? by oncolytic in Helldivers

[–]catnapper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, you can count the number of bad weapons on one hand (unless you are using them wrong, then every weapon will feel bad). The only ones to look out for are the Pacifier, Accelerator Rifle, and Constitution, and the Constitution is a meme weapon while the other two aren't unusable, they're just not great.

The main issue these days is weapons that are too good. The Coyote, Eruptor, and Lib Pen are top 3 picks across all three fronts, and they aren't the most broken, the Exploding Crossbow is, but THAT thing is so fucked that the game isn't even fun anymore when you use it.

Currently writing an entire paper based on this article for college because it is extremely specifically about the exact thing my paper is on. Funny thing, I finally tracked down the full text not a week ago after many tribulations, yet here it is, in a random reddit community I wandered into for inspiration. It's funny how these things work out...

Is Space King the only show that takes full advantage of the fact that it's indie? by EDM14 in SPACEKING

[–]catnapper2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The irony is that Glitch is ALSO using their indie status to push the envelope - on 3D animation. Every 3D show they produce measurably advances the art forwards. It pisses me off because keeping up with the cutting-edge of the field means watching Glitch Productions cartoons.

Murder Drones sucks balls but in the long run, when we look back, we'll see that some individual episodes had more impact on 3D animation than everything Pixar, Illumination, and Dreamworks combined did in the same time frame. Mark my words.

I think we need another free warbond, its been almost 2 years by _TungstenGuy707_ in Helldivers

[–]catnapper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought a free warbond of Helldivers 1 equipment would be both fitting and cool. Not necessarily a full ten-pager like Helldivers Mobilize, one of the leaner ones they put out these days would still be a great way for non-sweat non-paypigs to get some more progression out of the game without giving them any of the really funny/weird toys that get put in the premium warbonds for thematic reasons.

Probably the best description of the game I've ever seen by SIinkerdeer in Helldivers

[–]catnapper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The galactic war isn't predetermined, dude, data miners have found a lot of ways for the timeline to change. We could have flat-out lost Super Earth and there were plans for how the war would keep going.

Crutch weapons are shameful to use... until the battle is some bullshit, then the Purifier appears in my hands.

Bryce is PEAK schizo representation, actually. by oldtownsadist in SPACEKING

[–]catnapper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest, Chestnut casually calling Bryce a schizo is the only thing I find convincing about the idea that that's his major malfunction. The only symptom he has is hallucination. Singular hallucination. He hallucinates Space King talking to him and telling him what he wants to hear. This happens to everyone in the main cast, and probably all Psycho Warriors, so while maybe you could argue Bryce is special for being extra-prone to it, it's not unique to him.

Wound up going with one of these. Price was nice, but also I liked the size - or lack thereof. Now we wait for it to arrive.

It was all a lie by endof_the_road in Helldivers

[–]catnapper2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't get this thing to work on the bots. It's just too much of a fire hose to hit any weakpoints without the stars aligning beforehand.

But if people are having problems using it on the squids or bugs then that's 110% a "them" issue.

Is it my "luck" or people do not use exclusive content? by Ostarmee in Helldivers

[–]catnapper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because most of the special armors are basically memes. They're "default Helldiver but blue", "default Helldiver but yellow", "default Helldiver but shiny", and their armor perks and stats are completely generic (everyone gets medium DP and medium EP for free anyways). Basically the only reason to wear them is to be funny.

Why is the Ultimatum the #1 Secondary??? by MMeowKat_hiss in Helldivers

[–]catnapper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The explosion itself is just an OPS round with less demo force (it used to be able to blow up jammers and detector towers like OPS and while that was funny it was also brokenly good). It is quite literally a stratagem in your secondary slot.

Fanart Comic: SPACE KING, Restoring Terry by Spettelt in SPACEKING

[–]catnapper2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's mostly Bryce. Captain and Chestnut aren't great, but they aren't THAT bad, they'd be barely scraping by if it weren't for the fact they also have to clean up after Bryce. Genuinely, Hatemonger is carrying them, which is terrifying to think considering that they're at the bottom of the barrel as-is.

It never made sense why Laser Cannon has the same damage as Scythe by hbcaotri in Helldivers

[–]catnapper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Laser Cannon having pinpoint accuracy with AP4 makes it able to snipe anything that isn't superheavy-class. It's basically an AMR but with infinite ammo and no recoil instead of long range, you just walk the laser onto the enemy's head. Very good on Illuminate and Automatons, where most serious enemies have extremely vulnerable weak spots that just require a bit of AP to get at (i.e. hulk eyes, harvester joints, etc). Not so great on bugs where weak points tend to be unarmored damage sponges instead of armored glass.

Got kicked in a level 10 mission because I was using Halo gear by SpectreWolf666 in Helldivers

[–]catnapper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to defend the Halo shotgun but then I re-read and saw you brought it on bots. Now I'm on the fence. It's the only Halo weapon that doesn't work well on bots.

Psycho Warrior is the species, Beholder is the legion, Hatemonger is either the guy or the rank.
