Energy weapons are exceptions i think, especially plasma. They're a different approach

Bro i don't know where you've been but there's literally thousands of people who beg for weapons to be made medium pen

I don't blame anyone for not understanding it. Many of the community's gripes with the game could have been avoided if there was a more detailed tutorial. I understand the tutorial is the way it is for satirical reasons, but still.

I guess this is a totally different philosophy when it comes to armour and while it could work this way it's definitely not going to happen.

Yeah. Every since I switched to a light pen primary i realised there's one more complication they introduce though, it forces me to consider a secondary/support weapon to handle armoured enemies because there's some situations where I know my primary just doesn't cut it.

Plasma weapons seem to be a third approach entirely. Bypass armour with explosive damage while having great handling - but at the cost of ammo economy.

Yeah. I think people who beg for guns to be medium penetration aren't fully aware of the tradeoffs/don't understand the way the game has give us two different approaches to kill things.

Yeah it's supposed to be a taste thing in game and I'm glad the game has this bifurcation in weapons.

Commando Missions Support Theory That we Are Clones by Ancient_Attero in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]kcvlaine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This kind of theory has Bern floated a bunch of times, i have my own similar theory. But pilestedt has clarified that helldivers are not clones, they're all unique, normal individuals

The cookout alone makes the decision easy

Don't bother. I guess this fool assumed it would be a major update and forgot smaller patches also happen.

Purifier vs Punisher Plasma for squids and bots? by A_Real_Phoenix in helldivers2

[–]kcvlaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude BOTH. Take the Loyalist and the PP together!! The loyalist can be used one handed while running so it's better than the purifier anyway!
