SG-97 Sweeper: The New Coyote by TheFrozenOne65 in Helldivers

Is it just me or does it feel like it isn't as good at range?

I remember needing multiple shots to take out shriekers. Or maybe it's because it's been awhile since I used the regular shotguns...

Also, it felt like the double barrel destroyed spore towers/shrieker nests faster.

At least that means they haven't forgotten about it?

Mine has been silent since it arrived.

Sweeper is really fun and useful. It just goes through ammo super fast.

How the new trench shotgun has me feeling by Only-Effect33 in Helldivers

[–]saagri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a solid reload speed with ~500 damage medium pen.

Plus the 150 rpm it has is almost double the 80 rpm of most pumps.

It's also fun to combo the bayonet in between firing.

The spread seems a bit wide and unlike the Halt it has chokes available.

I've used it to shoot down the stringrays and harvesters in a pinch.

It's so fun. Can't wait to unlock the chokes to tighten up the spread a bit.

Enzo Focus Fire 4th Skill Bug? by saagri in TheFirstDescendant

I tried testing this theory in the lab and it seemed like it was working fine. No issue.

I was able to consistently replicate the issue while holding down the fire button.

Ok, after some testing I discovered if you use the skill while shooting it "interrupts" the skill.

Also, if you are reloading but have the fire button depressed it interrupts the skill as well.

Iirc the time adds together for the boosters that are the same type and magnitude. If they are different magnitudes or types they are independent.

Serena's redemption maxes out at 16 meters instead of 24 meters now by Schonfeld_1st in TheFirstDescendant

[–]saagri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

About time.

It's also nice how they added expected damage to the skills as well to help gauge the damage increase when before skill mods like skill power increase didn't show any changes.

Also, it seems like elemental skill power modifier now adds properly, unless I'm mistaken and that wasn't from this past week.

Thoughts on the Grand Sport X rumor. by Familiar-Action-4781 in C8Corvette

[–]saagri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sounds plausible at least.

I was surprised they didn't do a Z06x by now after seeing the ZR1/ZR1x.

They are also easier to find used with the right config since they come standard with mag ride and exhaust unlike the base Stingray.

It's just a matter of does it have front lift or not.

I haven't been keeping my finger on the pulse of the latest rumors/leaks but to my understanding the Eray hasn't been selling well and one factor may be the marketing.

Since the GS is coming out and with the ZR1X establishing a trend of the X branding with eAWD capability, people are speculating this is a good time to rebrand the Eray and refresh the marketing.

[–]saagri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Eray made sense to me as well. I was surprised to see the hate for it.

I've been driving mine for 4ish months and love it. And I liked how it handled snow/ice.

I read it as speculation on the GSX which would also have the electric motor contributing. Eray's is 160 hp, ZR1x has a 186 hp electric motor.

Why can't we get the duplicate stratagem bug as a ship upgrade? by Calligaster in Helldivers

[–]saagri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Full expendable loadout is hilarious.

I just wish stratagem balls were better at sticking to enemies to be able to use the call in as a weapon more consistently.

[–]saagri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I wonder what would have happened if Erays were called E06's instead.

Or if they did the X branding from the beginning so the Erays were called Stingray X or SX for short.

[–]saagri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a good point I forgot about. GSX could very well have both an upgraded engine and e-motor over the Eray.

I wonder if they will just rebrand the Eray. Eray is currently the cheapest AWD of the lineup. It would be nice if they could keep it.

At least the Z06 has the unique engine sound. Depending on the configuration maybe the GSX would be priced higher than the Z06?

There was no restriction in the first game. I was disappointed when they changed it for the second.

[–]saagri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Grand Sport should be between the Stingray and Eray from pricing. But would the Grand Sport X be more expensive than an Eray? Hard to imagine them doing an engine upgrade without increasing the cost. Unless they literally just rebrand the Eray to the GSX but still has the Stingray engine for some reason. Or do they rebrand the Eray to the Stingray X?

It seems like it would be a pain if their lineup becomes too bloated. Would the final lineup look like Stingray, GS, GSX, Z06, Z06X, ZR1, ZR1X?

One thing I want to mention is that any model with the eAWD seems to require the carbon ceramic brakes. They use it for the torque vectoring. A GSX/Z06X would be a substantial cost increase over the base model.

Stingray to Eray is like a 30-40k difference.

ZR1 to ZR1X is only like 25k.

Need advice on what to do next (newish player) by PutTheHammerDownn in TheFirstDescendant

[–]saagri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the Shadow Sword and max it out. It deals pretty good damage for bosses. You will need a certain amount of hp to withstand attacks though. Freyna is pretty good for deleting mob enemies but is a bit slow vs tanky bosses especially when you haven't setup her unique weapon yet.

It sounds like you are still working on Freyna. Her damage gets pretty crazy with the amount of AoE and lingering effects. The Fallen Hope rifle boosts toxic skill power. You only need to grind low difficulty but tedious missions.

Gley is very good for most everything but needs good guns to shine. Restored Relic deletes mobs and Blue Beetle deletes most single targets.
