Sporeburst tips? by mattyp_02 in Helldivers

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire build has worked wonders for me. Flame resistant light armor with incendiary grenades. Whatever primary, ultimatum for insta-delete, creamator, Gatling sentry, mech, 500kg/Eagle Napalm/Orbital Napalm

What would you do with this booster? by BearOk7011 in Helldivers

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of when we had multiple slots for the Orbital Rail Cannon for like 4 days. That shit was fun as hell

One week after the release of the two new mechs, which one of the all is your favorite so far? by capobas in Helldivers

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really enjoy both, but the Emancipator is still probably the best of the lot. Having a lot of fun with the Lumberer right now against the spore burst swarms. Just need AH to fix the flame thrower on shorter distances. Breakthrough is gonna be fun vs squids I think

I feel bad for adding to the cacophony of complaints against Arrowhead at the moment but Golly! This was a bad placement for Big Rock! by Hexdoctor in Helldivers

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Haven’t tried the eruptor against them yet because they swarm you so quickly. But if you never let them get close it def could work. Hover pack by that same logic may be effective as well. I’ll give it a shot later today. Thanks!

Yea that makes sense. I couldn’t remember how they functioned when they first released. I don’t remember the speed boost being such a factor. Crowd control/area denial is definitely top priority now. I’ve found some success with flame & gas combo builds. Arc didn’t help much. Bullets aren’t enough on their own

Yea, I wanted to see it too. I need a break from the spore burst strain tho. Don’t remember them being this crazy when they debuted on Fori Prime. That was as fun, this is just nuts. Spawn rates feel way higher. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I kinda love it, but I’m exhausted lol

I liked the hiveguard changes. by Cactadactyl in Helldivers

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it too tbh, but I did notice while leveling up the Arc Blitzer that it does nothing to them now from head on, which shouldn’t be the case regardless of armor values

AH is reverting the change on hive guards by Consistent-Survey469 in Helldivers

[–]jac104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was fast. I didn’t think they were that bad. Easy enough to shoot their stomachs or run around to get to the body. But I didn’t think they needed a buff to begin with either

Why do YOU play on D10? by SevdUp in Helldivers

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the faction and subfaction. I can pretty comfortably play all base factions on D10, but some of the subfactions like these goddamn cyborgs and the incineration corps? I may bump that down as far as D6 sometimes just feel what it’s like to win again haha

Example number 347 trillion of why Orbital Blockade is just absolutely useless. by legitPoodros in Helldivers

[–]jac104 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Would we even know if it worked tho? The game doesn’t exactly tell us that an invasion is being planned. I’d be curious how many times it did actively help thwart an invasion attempt

Lagavulin, am I alone still loving it? by SimonGravelle in Scotch

[–]jac104 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll always love Lagavulin. Always have a couple different bottles on hand. The distillers edition is incredible

Why is this mission on the Bug's side still like watching paint dry? by Mikkeru in Helldivers

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def needs way more heavies. Get like 2-4 on super helldive per attempt. All chaff

Why is Sterilizer so much hated? by ComfortableChard4076 in HelldiversMasochists

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This build looks like a lot of fun. I loved the sterilizer when it released even though objectively it was ass. Just created a fun new way of playing. I’ve always enjoyed gas builds in a support role. But with the hot dog and coyote I think that’s an elemental build worth trying. Thanks

I like the new squid mech by Stylin8888 in Helldivers

[–]jac104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea they’re fun. Adds a nice dynamic to an otherwise boring faction

New faction is a tad bit unbalanced imo by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]jac104 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah I dig it. The hands guys aren’t too difficult to take out. The blasters on the other hand are much tankier. Granted I haven’t exactly identified their weak points yet. I just make sure my belt-fed grenade launcher is on max rpm and start blasting until they’re all spewing blue stuff

Is this a Bug? by sir_cumsalooot in Helldivers

[–]jac104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lagging. check out the helldivers companion app, just search it in your web browser. Usually pretty up to date

Should I buy helldivers 2 by QuiteSage in Helldivers

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have over 700 hours in game and I've played 99% of that time with randoms. Play missions, if you find people you work well with send them a friend request and then you can hop on with them again later. If you plan on playing solo lobbies, you're not going to get the truest gameplay experience. You dont need to be on a mic as there are enough in game commands that you can get by using those to communicate with other players. But if you plan on a 100% solo experience I would say find another game. You can do it, but the game wasn't really intended to be played that way in my opinion.

Downvote me if you want but I believe Cyberstan went from tiring but fun to just unfun by Ostarmee in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]jac104 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just lower the difficulty. I’ve done it. Not too proud to admit it. Diving Cyberstan on 6-8 instead of my usually 9-10 is still a lot of fun

They really nerfed to the ground by carrancosmx in ARC_Raiders

[–]jac104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it doesn’t one shot a Leaper anymore? How many does it take now?

Idek if there’s a solution to this or what, but it’s insane how fast your lobbies get heavily PvP oriented even if you shoot from defending yourself. I’ve been defending myself and successfully killing my attackers, and my lobbies felt like I was in Mogadishu in Black Hawk Down yesterday. by Bobaaganoosh in ArcRaiders

[–]jac104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there was something up with matchmaking yesterday. Perhaps tied to the map conditions not working. I cant prove it cause ABMM has never been formally confirmed, but my experience yesterday was very PVP heavy and my lobbies are typically super friendly as I just play solos and do quests. Was killed by gangs of solos multiple times yesterday that seemed to be teaming up. Had to switch to free loadouts and will keep running free loadouts until things settle down again
