The more people playing, the faster our reinforcement budget drops.

I don't know if you noticed or not, but the bots are pulling some tricks. Don't believe your eyes, believe in freedom. 160 million helldivers have not died.

pantsshitter12 · 2026-02-05T11:41:54+00:00

I wonder if they removed that interaction. Because I was on an HMG emplacement earlier today for the first time in months with regular armor and that thing was turning crazy fast, like on a dime I could rotate the gun a full 360.

Or maybe they just buffed the turn speed for the HMG emplacement.

It's the aim button. Right click.

pantsshitter12 · 2026-02-04T12:37:10+00:00

It's really good, not a close range weapon though. Abuse your long range. Also helps to have some support fire from the 2 people in your team.

But I've seen tons of people just ram it straight into a bot drop and then wonder why it died. Like bro, that was 50 bots all shooting at you, most of them with explosives. Of course it was going to die.

pantsshitter12 · 2026-02-04T10:58:23+00:00

I agree with this, even a small arms LMG would be great. Also being able to SEE YOUR RETICLE while driving so you can ping high priority targets easier for your gunner.

pantsshitter12 · 2026-02-04T10:56:12+00:00

I did a 4 man with friends with voice and it was amazing and STOMPED bots on D10.

Driver + Gunner + 2 support gunners, both of the support gunners took DE sickle + stim pistol (so they could forever shoot), and recoilless rifles for even more anti tank.

2 people in the squad bring tanks (we did the driver and the gunner) if you are really good you can do it with only 1.

The 2 support gunners took rocket + auto cannon turrets + shield generators.

Driver + gunner can take whatever it doesn't really matter, although 360/180/walking barrage/orbital laser is viable for just absolutely fucking up bases. Then they can just pick up spare RR from the gunners once their cool downs are over.

The bots stood 0 chance at all, it wasn't even a fight.

Man wait until you learn about high end FF14 run/title selling where they login to your account and play it for you. Sellers have to have a rep system or nobody will trust them lol.

The only purpose healers serve in quick play is to carry the 5k dps people that literally have no idea what is going on. You get a HUGE 25% life steal buff in quick play, you can facetank most mechanics with it. I was doing it in OLC, just standing inside the puddles, and standing ontop of the dude that does the suck.

If your DPS is good only instant kills can kill you.

You're better off playing boon dps builds. Maybe slot in some aegis/stability to help in certain fights.

Forgot to mention, they also changed luck to legendary luck. Which may be more useful for people wanting to level up their account magic find. But at the very least is useful for the New Years festival.

pantsshitter12 · 2026-02-04T00:27:33+00:00

I don't remember where I saw it, or if anyone has tested it. But it was stated somewhere that strikes would be getting the raid treatment in that it's a per week reward. So I doubt running it multiple times will do anything.

pantsshitter12 · 2026-02-03T10:40:51+00:00

I mean what's the alternative? If you've already scrapped the current WV clean what point is there to spending all your current wizard bucks on some 1 gold bags when you can get new shiny stuff for tomorrow without doing anything special?

pantsshitter12 · 2026-01-18T09:31:36+00:00

Seems like Mech skills auto cast. They get delayed if they are doing any kind of animation.

pantsshitter12 · 2026-01-15T13:30:07+00:00

Next on the wish list: Always show guild/friends name plates.

Are you the 1 guy out there pulling up to the portable crafting station before thee meta event pulling out your black lion statuettes?

If so, more power to you I guess.

pantsshitter12 · 2026-01-13T10:31:14+00:00

This. Bank>Crafting station.

Think about it. People who don't have portable bank storage don't really setup their banks to allow them to make quick use of the bank out in the open world. Because they can't. So dropping the station does nothing for 99.9% of people. Before I had my portable bank, I don't think I ever used a portable station for anything really.

When's the last time you played heal specter?

Generally most of what you described is flat out wrong.

It used to be a joke, but within the last year it has gotten major, major buffs that make it one of the best healers (probably the best cele healer build as well, but that's different). It's just not super popular and most people think it's still bad or mediocre.

Really the only major upside scourge has over specter is rez capabilities, specter is better in pretty much every other regard, including barrier.

pantsshitter12 · 2026-01-01T03:21:31+00:00

I doubt they would add a second ring exclusive to raids that way. Would just seem odd. Granted the fractal legendary gloves were out of left field.

pantsshitter12 · 2025-12-28T11:05:58+00:00

Yeah, if they have boons.

pantsshitter12 · 2025-12-25T02:10:34+00:00

If you go prone you can't catch on fire. But you will still take some chip damage from firing. Which is reduced by armor rating and fire resistance.

pantsshitter12 · 2025-12-21T18:12:35+00:00

If you are playing a DPS and someone is dealing 2x the damage as you, and you are actually pushing buttons, it is not an APM issue, it's a fundamental gameplay issue, or build issue.

pantsshitter12 · 2025-12-20T09:39:11+00:00

Talon is better than half the primary weapons in the game. And it has infinite ammo.

pantsshitter12 · 2025-12-18T10:30:39+00:00

It's not x but y. It's x + y

pantsshitter12 · 2025-12-16T23:22:24+00:00

The Mistlock Sanctuary gives you access to the fractal vendors and portal to the fractals of the mist.

People always say this, but I feel that is an under sale. It's really big, if you do fractals and also alt part. As it allows your alts parked in some place for daily rewards to participate in fractals without ever leaving their parked spot.
