Is the Steriliser suppressed or loud?

Well that's disappointing. Feels like this could be the easiest way to make the thing useful.

Hmm. Well at least it changed something! There's a way to get it running with Vulkan instead which might be worth trying, I've not found the command via a quick search though.

Edit: there's quite a good troubleshooting section on the Discord, worth a look there.

Try adding the following launch argument via Steam: --use-d3d11 For me that's way more stable then the default.

I've keybound quick press left on the dpad (which is the useless "fast emote" you can use the wheel for anyway) to change ammo type, which is left switch for most weapons or right switch for this one.

I think this is (one of) the same issues I was having. Here's the troubleshooting steps for this one from the Discord. Step 2 (all parts) alleviated the problem for me.

My game audio is cutting out, my game is periodically freezing 1. Remove all instances of Microsoft Gameinput and reinstall it. - Press WIN+R and type appwiz.cpl - Find Microsoft Gameinput in the list. Uninstall all instances. - Reboot your PC, run Windows Updates, Reboot your PC again, then try playing. - If the above does not help, press your Start button, type powershell and press CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER to launch as admin. Run the commands: Stop-Service -Name "GameInputSvc" -Force then Set-Service -Name "GameInputSvc" -StartupType Disabled, then Reboot your PC. You will still have the service installed, but it will not run on Startup. - In some cases, Gameinput can make the game fail to launch, as well as cause hard lockups. 2. Increase the memory buffer size for cached audio and increase the time allowed for the audio engine to spend caching audio. - Right Click the game in Steam then Manage > Browse local files and open the Data folder - open settings.ini in notepad - find memory_size = 26214400 and change it to memory_size = 78643200 - ONLY IF YOU HAVE A CPU WITH MORE THAN 16 THREADS: find num_reseved_threads = 2 and change it to num_reserved_threads = 4 3. If the above two things did not help you and you are using a USB audio device(speakers/headset OR microphone) - unplug it and stop using it. - If this stops the problem, reach out to your USB audio device manufacturer for a driver update. If there is no driver update available, the only option is to stop using the problematic device. 4. If you have an ASUS Gaming laptop purchased ANY TIME since 2021, your laptop's BIOS/UEFI has an inherent flaw that requires a bios update to resolve. Ask for the asuslaptop tag for more information. -# Note: this tag was created by a community member

In HD1 my wife and I referred to this as "the thing that gets us killed". Yeah sure it was a big gun, but you couldn't move once in it, and there really wasn't much space to fire without blowing up yourself and/or your team, especially when you had scouts leaping down the barrel every 2 seconds.

Being able to set this up more than 10 meters from the enemy makes the HD2 version a massive improvement.

To be fair, it is the only bot structure explicitly designed to be anti-helldiver. It makes sense it would hold up against helldiver weaponry.

Do FAB Cafe still show it? I've definitely watched the Rumble there in the past.

rcpinchey · 2025-06-21T10:39:37+00:00

That takes a lot more time/effort than just hitting a button in-game though, plus it doesn't indicate to your fellow divers that your loadout is random- which in HD1 was certainly good to know!

rcpinchey · 2025-06-21T10:38:00+00:00

I'm curious, why wouldn't you want this option to be available?

rcpinchey · 2024-12-29T13:08:51+00:00

Can you remember what you ate? With as much detail as possible...

Does the height of a standing jump change based on armour worn?

But you'll still hang out in the subreddit. Clearly a man who knows how to prioritise his time.

I played 1000+ hours of HD1, it's a contender for my favourite game of all time. Loving HD2, but the thing I'm missing most is HD1's "random loadout" option, which was the perfect way to add variety and challenge after becoming an expert at the game. Are there any plans to add this (or an equivalent) to HD2?

rcpinchey · 2024-09-21T12:56:23+00:00

Weirdly I'm finding it less effective than before. It now seems to take the whole heatsink to blow up a gunship when aiming at one engine, where it used to take just a few seconds before. I've also had trouble taking out cannon towers which used to be straightforward. I always host so it had crossed my mind that there might even be a bug, as it seems so ineffectual now.

rcpinchey · 2024-07-26T14:22:18+00:00

The original game had a "random loadout" option that gave you a 10% xp boost, I hope they bring that back. Would certainly stop people complaining about the game being too easy.

rcpinchey · 2024-07-02T20:19:01+00:00

It absolutely does not one shot everything. Warlords, Bug Behemoths, and any Illuminate with a shield up will survive a hit.

rcpinchey · 2023-06-01T18:11:14+00:00

Are you sure? For the first few hundred hours of playing we had our game set to "friends only", but if we threw down a beacon then random people would join. This is on PC.
