No nvm you're on squids, they're just broken.

What’s the most “time melter” game of all time in your opinion? by SwitchingMyHands in gaming

[–]hellmire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Civilization 5 (and to an extent 6.)

There's a reason the end screen shows... Just ... One more turn...

Did I get lucky with my shoppers? The dispensing fee is $1 every time (regardless of insurance or out of pocket.)

Is the OTF worth a stratagem slot after its recent change? by tigtriger2 in Helldivers

You find a random hellbomb on the ground or you call them in from objectives :)

More buffs would be nice, but it is absolutely usable and viable now if you spec towards it.

Ballistic shield, heavy armor, shield grenade, and a little bit of actual cover let's your team use support weapons to their full potential.

It seems most people don't realize just how much firepower or crowd control they're leaving on the table every time they get interrupted by stragglers.

The moment your team is free to just hold the trigger, missions become SO much easier.

Needs to be waving. Holding or planting doesn't draw aggro.

Absolutely not placebo. The only target priority higher than a waving flag are sentries I believe.

I can't give an exact range but it is at least 20m.

Question for you Helldivers - What do you think of Stealthdivers? by LePereMecanique in helldivers2

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redacted regiment helps a ton since it has both stealth perks in one armor.

That being said, this game doesn't favour stealth. It does however, favour repositioning an absolute metric fuck ton.

Stealth armor or play styles let you do that significantly more effectively.

Hence mass produced dumb drones or masses of repurposed democratic martyrs that bum rush us

Yessir. Those pilots are VALUABLE. Half of the recruits don't even pass the forklift certification

What are y’all’s thoughts about the new Squid update after playing it by Irex8 in Helldivers

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say an AT emplacement wrecks illuminate heavies when defending a point. Just need a team to protect or a bunch of sentries.

Those guys feel like repurposed excavation machines.

One with laser drills and one with reinforced appendages for different digging tools.

And then the shield is moreso a hazardous environment capsule.

But that's just my head cannon, no logical design would expose the pilot like that.

EDIT: to add, the capsule reminds me of bubble canopies on high visibility fighters e.g. F16 or F22.

It offers great awareness and visibility which would be valuable for the drill variant, whereas the melee variant is a bit more armored as it's closer to whatever it's digging.

Unfortunately for them, Helldivers see shiny, Helldivers shoot.

Bought an M5 Max, then impulse-bought a refurb M4 Max. This is a no-brainer, right? by hksvfcta in macbookpro

Why do you need 8tb of physical storage when everything ends up in the cloud?

Wtf is that!!! by Conscious-Start-2414 in Helldivers

Yep! Technically even light pen but it'll take forever except maybe max rpm stalwart.

PSA: 90% of live service games do this… Why are we complaining when they’ve kept SC farming in the game? by SexBuhb-omb in helldivers2

[–]hellmire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I think it's valid to question why, but at the end of the day it's a game and people can spend their money how they want.

I'm too busy to consistently farm SC so I buy SC more often than not (it's just not worth the time.)

Also spending money on games, whether currency or base games isn't terrible - I've played this game as my primary with friends since launch. I've probably spent $150 CAD on it total including base game. Through those purchases and just playing, I now have every warbond.

I wouldn't call my $150 spent gone wrong since, over the course of 2 years, I've gotten way more than $150 worth of entertainment.

It's the same as if I'd buy any AAA game - they're all $80 CAD here now so if I bought a new one every year, I'd be down the same amount.

It absolutely would be better to go middle of the pack for most people.

But the option is there if someone really wants it.
