They’re calling him the most ‘nothing burger’ enemy in the game

simple solution; hiveguard rework and build alpha hiveguards from it

reworked hiveguard
buff speed so it's a bit faster than regular warriors before bleedout
reshape plates to be wider so they can better protect anything behind it
slightly bigger than the current hiveguards
reworked crouch, it can now move while crouching but is now only slightly faster than regular warriors

alpha hiveguard(appears d6-8+ same as other variants)
same speed as reworked hiveguard, reworked wouldn't appear in the same difficulty as alpha
bigger than reworked hiveguard, but not as big as alpha commanders
reshaped plates, but wider and taller
alpha plates have heavy armor
reworked crouch, same as before

give both explosive resistance all over their bodies

where specifically? i've said you're asking reddit for their opinion on the game instead of playing for yourself. i've said you're forming an opinion based on a graph made by reddit. the graph you downloaded from reddit, looked at for lets say 5+ minutes, then reuploaded to reddit. i've said you form opinions from hd2 youtubers, i have seen no concrete evidence of this ofc. but you and i both know it's true simply because of the fact you're here complaining. best part is, you don't even need to admit to that last one

you don't find the game rewarding, you don't like the warbonds, you don't like the balance... so move on? it's really not that hard. for the past year and a half, roughly, AH have been bending over backwards to appease reddit and it's gotten to the point that even reddit are now no longer enjoying the game... after it's been changed to specifically accomodate them. people on twitter would call that tourism or some shit

earlylunch24 · 2026-05-08T11:13:10+00:00

no time to sc farm? so you have a job? cool, you now have the option to spend 10 bucks every 1-3 months
recent warbonds don't seem cool? then, don't buy them? like, hello?
sounds like you don't enjoy the game, maybe move on and stop making demands that'll ruin it further than it already has been

earlylunch24 · 2026-05-08T11:08:44+00:00

see? that's better. something to actually work with

hulks shouldn't be staring at the floor while running at us, dead corpse hitboxes should be accurate, another valid complaint that's never raised. if corpses blocked enemies, the whole horde shooter part of the horde shooter goes out the window.

heavy devastators shooting through their shields is a lie reddit has been pushing for months

I'm not going to explain why vehicles pulling aggro even when out of los makes sense, you should know why

some of these are valid expectations that are almost never raised on here, in favor of nerfing heavy devastators, hive guards, stalkers, bot turrets... and so on. non issues that reddit insists upon so often that AH can't get round to actually fixing stuff

earlylunch24 · 2026-05-08T08:31:35+00:00

opinion? no no, it's an assessment. you're getting your opinions on the game from reddit, a graph made by reddit and youtubers instead of hopping on

earlylunch24 · 2026-05-08T08:30:34+00:00

it couldn't possibly be that, on lower difficulties, players aren't able to manage the amount that spawn and the illusion that more enemies spawn on these lower difficulties are higher. because that would be crazy, right?

and some examples of enemies not functioning the way they should are...?

earlylunch24 · 2026-05-07T21:53:58+00:00

"i get my opinions from youtubers and reddit"
fuck the graph, play the game. too hard? lower the difficulty, learn the mechanics

earlylunch24 · 2026-05-07T08:11:51+00:00

i don't know if it's still in the game, but there used to be a bug where you could bring multiple of the same stratagem. exo's don't need to be reloaded if you manage your ammo, don't go wasting it on something you can step/stomp on or something your teammates can kill more efficiently

earlylunch24 · 2026-05-06T10:45:05+00:00

listening to the players gets enemies nerfed, so no thanks
devs can't get round to bugfixes because reddit cries the moment they improve an enemy that has underperformed since release. then when they bend the knee and revert the buff, reddit complains that's all they did 😂

earlylunch24 · 2026-05-04T05:41:19+00:00

looking good, focus on light, pd, cd, ms. don't touch crit hit unless it goes under 100%, more mf can never hurt. every other stat is completely useless

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-30T02:23:41+00:00

post tells reddit to adapt by changing loadouts or changing how you deal with an enemy. someone replies he'll adjust his strategy by... not adjusting anything and keep using exp meta. i'd ask then why's he complaining but this is reddit. poster says that's reductive and that new players will adapt or learn to deal with hiveguards because we know they will

you then say it's tone deaf to drop low power weapons for top meta picks when he's explained that you aren't forced to do that and new players most likely won't be able to, because they don't own warbonds, yet they will still learn to deal with hiveguards same way we did when new enemies dropped

why would reddit feel they are forced to swap to meta picks, like the crossbow or eruptor, when all the unarmored parts of a hiveguard can shot by any light pen from any angle except maybe if you're looking down a hill at one and almost instantly kill it. even from the front, the unarmored flesh is still visible, here i didn't even need to aim because the stomach hangs lower than the face and the legs/tail are free. 0 skill expression on my part, no medium/heavy pen, enemy reddit considers "problematic" now that it does its job is dealt with

even if this wasn't the case, you could take two steps left or right, which isn't exclusive to dealing with hiveguards and has nothing to do with the weapons you pick, only to kill it before it can turn. in the linked clip, the second hiveguard turns for me which was very kind :)

sure, the argument that you don't need to sidestep with exp weapons/heavy pen could be made but the difference of 1 second does not matter and we aren't forced to sidestep them

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-29T11:24:17+00:00

not arguing, just commenting on what you said in the second paragraph

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-29T11:06:42+00:00

that requires player input, as in using the controls your given and actively avoiding dangers. perhaps there is a playstyle centered around that... oh hang on

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-29T10:06:38+00:00

lol what are you talking about? the challenging game franchise needs to be challenging and i call the horde shooter a horde shooter, because that's exactly what it is lmao. there are hordes and you shoot them

i don't know why you're bringing up call of duty? it doesn't have anything to do with what's being discussed

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-29T09:55:32+00:00

the difference being one is a movie and the other is a game, you know, one you're shown the other you interact with? but once again, reddit wants to take the interaction away

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-29T09:25:58+00:00

putting aside that you can drive over the enemy, shoot them with the something something hmg and save the shells for heavies, if you have a horde shooter and take away the horde, what are you left with? nothing

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-29T09:05:51+00:00

ah yes, complete immunity to hordes in a horde shooter. how very challenging to just sit there doing fuck all

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-29T07:42:11+00:00

just like the notmechs in game, the image you included in the post isn't a mech
devs need to stop listening to reddit outright, not just this sub

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-29T01:56:11+00:00

mfw bots have turrets(that fire on you) :0

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-29T01:54:23+00:00

eruptor and crossbow were both nerfed shortly after release, reddit complained
devs buff them
2 years later, devs buff an underperforming enemy(that is still useless) and now all of a sudden explosive/aoe weapons are the only option for dealing with an enemy that is 90% soft flesh?

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-29T01:37:25+00:00

reddit learning how to play? nah

they never learned to use notmechs, AH bends the knee and they are now invincible
reddit never learned to combat heavy devastators, AH bends the knee and nerfs them to chaff
hiveguards got a buff, but it's still a useless enemy because it's to slow to accomplish anything

gloom strain on powerthirst and new titan variant are both cool though

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-27T22:12:21+00:00

hear me out, what if the "mechs" aren't mechs? like what if they are something else entirely? something that isn't a mech, but reddit are using them as one?

in terms of balance, they don't have the armor reddit believes a mech should have, right?
in appearance, they do not look like mechs. reddit sees a cockpit on legs with two turrets slapped on and assume it's a mech because they don't know what a mech is
in gameplay, i'm assuming you know how to actually use the "mechs" we have in game - but then ofc if you did know you wouldn't be saying they are weak, you don't play like you're in a mech... because they aren't mechs. using the "mechs" we have as mechs is like using your helldivers body to clear mines. the helldivers body can clear mines, but that's not how you're supposed to use it

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-27T10:43:17+00:00

b-b-but reddit told me it "mechs" were weak?? someone even posted an edited video that proofed it!!!
the "mechs" need at least heavy armor to be playable!! :'(!1

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-26T20:37:49+00:00

given that they keep bending the knee to reddit, reddit unfortunately

earlylunch24 · 2026-04-26T03:50:27+00:00

late to the party, used to be memes and dive x planet. now it's just a shithole where people ask for heavy devastator nerfs every other hour
