Wait did they actually nerf the autocannon sentry? It wasnt even remotely overpowered.

@@Talcor No. Not yet anyway.

Nah, I’d quit.

Same case as Eruptor's shrapnel. "The shrapnel keep killing it's user cuz they fired it too close so we remove it". I'm ok with them nerfing the 12 mags, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with the shrapnel, again it's a skill issue you died cuz u use it at close range

@@ksuma715 There was a genuine issue of the Eruptor actually killing people at random, however this issue was ONLY an issue after they made tweaks to shrapnel to begin with. Instead of undoing those tweaks they dumpstered the Eruptor.

@@ksuma715 Yeah. I mean, the shrapnel being basically RNG and not at all reliable was very annoying, but it was still way better than what we have now, and at least it was fun when it did work. Now the Eruptor just feels like a glacially slow and cumbersome long-range grenade pistol.

Agreed I think I killed myself twice in the exo suit when it first came out but once I understood why it was happening it was really easy to avoid I hope if they can’t find a viable fix they just revert it

​@@BackwardsPancakeIt now has the same exact dmg as the Crossbow with almost same explosion radius. The crossbow for me is just better with it being faster at aiming and shooting, too bad it can't destroy fab/holes.

Maybe because he doesn't understand of how the game play was actually intended? stop band wagoning and maybe try to think for yourself more. This game was made by relying on other things like support weapons and strategems too. You can't just rely one one stratgem to clear the whole level.

Its most certainly is not "undercooked and Sabotaged". That said I feel it could use more Ammo per arm. I also think people where thinking this thing was supposed to be Stronger then actually is. These are AUTO CANNONS not Anti Tank Guns.

@@jaywerner8415 Actually they are anti-tank. The EXO-49 EMANCIPATOR has the same Auto cannons as the Auto cannon sentry (which are anti-tank). People forget that the Auto cannon support gun isn't the only Auto cannon Hell divers have access to...

​@@AC-Vistralsomething that takes up a stratagem slot, only as 2 uses, a 10 minutes cooldown and prevents you from using any other stratagems while using it should have some power.

​@@jaywerner8415 they are anti tank there Heavy autocannons (just has two barrels) the ones that the Pelicans shoot there heavy armour penetrating but the emancipators specifically have 170 less damage than the handheld autocannon which doesn't penetrate heavy armour Basically its a worse un reloadable handheld autocannon the only benefit being it actually penetrates heavy armour but it does so much less damage it's you barely notice it's an anti tank

And most of yall got a cry over everything problem

@@lukemehalick370 Imagine defending Arrowhead on this, when the CEO has admitted there is a problem with nerfs being the default setting for them.

Not really, nerfing weapons and making the game less fun is a pretty huge problem

*Alexus

@@Puttis "less fun" sounds like fun exist first 10-50 hours and then game cant enjoy you because its become too easy. Remind to yourself how often u actually lose your mission because of hight difficulty of gameplay. I really didnt lose any mission in 250 hours. There is no hard content to be enjoyable in the endgame. I would recomend you to try on vermintide 2 at cataclysm dif, where after single mistake horde able to fok all of your team in half a sec

the dream is on the past we must have it in the future too

you can, actually equip the two mechs at the same time its just wack broken for no reason.. still doesn't excuse how bad they are

Equip a mech, then another stratagem, then the second mech

The fact they give us strategems and then tell us we can't use 2 at the same time 😂 incredibly stupid, if I want to run 2 mechs and use 1 at each objective and 1 for extraction that shouldn't be a fucking issue. That's the issue with their game, they want us to play the way they want, instead of giving us the options and letting us play the game. What's next, limit us to 1 support weapon per game? That way everyone has to use the EATs and nothing else or make a change cause they don't like it.

I was so ready to bring the 2 mechs to missions man... My first experience whit the mechs is weird in retrospective whit the patriot I use it for 10 seconds and exploded (glitch were my own missile killed me) and whit the emancipator I was on a hill and quickly noticed that you cant shoot down, idk why I like them so much they are so bad.

Pretty sure it’s a glitch. If you use the first and fourth slot I’ve been able to take two every time

Apparently, the HMG sights were put in inverted, which is why the red dot was like in the top half. Absolutely hilarious if true.

@@MrDoggo23 I believe that the AH devs are that incompetent honestly, look at everything else.

Once they fix the misalignment, I pray they actually change that awful sci-fi garbage sight to a proper marksman cross. Just put the Liberator scope on the AMR and Counter Sniper damn it

Counter sniper as well, hell I'm at the point I think it's on PURPOSE cause they don't want us to get easy 1 shot on devestators.

Incorrect, it started off at 150 per arm aka 300 and then, WITH VEHICLE BAY UPGRADES you could ge tit up to 500

Johan, the CEO and now stepping down to be Creative director designed magicka, helldivers one and helldivers 2 on launch himself. It's independent balance devs and bug fixing devs that make these changes

@@Paradox1012 they shouldn’t be that “independent” given how “small” they like to say they’re dev team is. they need a lot more cohesion and less confusion on their QA/play testing. everyone should be on the same page, that’s the advantage when you have a smaller dev team. or they need to hire more workers. the game has been out for quite a while, the onboarding process shouldn’t be that bad at this point.

to be fair, the obsidian worke more with machineguns than autocannons: no splash damage, no heavy armor damage. i think the splash especially can justify the slower fire rate since it means a single shot can kill multiple enemies... except that somehow you can fire the shoulder mounted one WAY faster than the vehicle-mounted, double guns for some reason

So make it better so that when all 4 squad members call them in, there's 0% chance of failing.

I feel like a shift is gonna come when the new enemy faction is released.

Yeah I loved this game but after nerfing every weapon I used I just gave up

@@mint5438 Now we can use our un-fun weapons against even more annoying enemies.

Don't forget about booster too.

@@AC-Vistral The booster balancing so far hasn't given me much hope in this regard. Basically everything aside from the standard 4 (Stamina, Muscle, Space, Vitality - In descending order of importance) is either weak (UAV Recon is a very marginal improvement that can be supplanted with upgrades; Motivational Shocks only affects a comically small niche of things and the Muscle booster does its overall job better), conceptually bad (Why would you need a booster like Localization Confusion that reduces difficulty, if you can freely choose the difficulty level in the first place?), or both (You shouldn't be dying enough to need the reinforcement boosters, and even if you do the effect is insultingly small; The extraction booster only helps you with a completely optional objective at the end of the game, and only by a laughably small amount). Hell, even some of the standard 4 are arguably kind of badly designed (Space Optimization just asks you to sacrifice a booster slot to fix a glaringly artificial QoL deficiency; Vitality's actual effect is confusingly implemented and the actual benefits are not well explained).

@@BackwardsPancake "Why would you need a booster like Localization Confusion that reduces difficulty" Bro, they all decrease the difficulty 😆 Localization Confusion just makes it feel a bit more like Classic HD2 before they beefed up patrol spawns(classic "we'll sell you a solution to a mechanic we created") . It's good for farming super samples and gives the game better pacing so there's a bit of room to breathe between engagements.

@@rhetro777 Yeah but: 1) That's part of my point, as implied by the next sentence. If the game unequivocally works and feels better in this state, why not just make it the baseline experience? Why does this need to be a booster? 2) Since it only affects reinforcement call-ins and doesn't do anything about patrols, you can organically replicate it's effects by simply refusing to take fights and disengaging correctly, OR by wiping the enemy squad before they can get a call off (Both of which will be easier with other boosters which actually grant you some performance advantage).

It was absolutely horrible when the game first launched, if you gave any valid criticism at all people would fucking hound you

Which is pretty damn amusing as all my mates who enjoy this game and are quite good at it hound itsshit constantly.

When ppl say skill issue I say, what skill lmao.

They are dumb

Dude I love this game but even I'm at my wits end with the current dogshit state this game is in right now

They're not killing the game. They made mistakes, they're in the process of fixing them. Just wait for a bit and stop saying a game is killed when it still has 60k players a day.

@@fynii9478 They're killing the game. The game is not dead yet, but they are killing it. Hopefully that stops with the next patch now that Pilestedt is more hands-on to remind the devs to not be fucking incompetent. But that doesn't refute the notion that prior to that, the devs have been killing the game.

​@@fynii9478compared to the 500k+ people it used to have, 60k is practically just waiting for the publisher to pull the plug.

@@gracecalis5421 no they haven't. Nerfs aren't enough to kill a game. That just doesn't happen.

​@@fynii9478 yeah uhh.. it's pretty easy to kill a game with shit nerfs.

And honestly, even if it did that much damage, it would probably still be kind of bad - Because the cooldown and the call-in limits are so severe, and you can get similar performance way more granularly and efficiently with other stratagems.

It's not quite that simple, as the Emancipator autocannons have a higher armour penetration rating than the handheld autocannon. So against level 5 armour, the Emancipator will do 60 durable while the AC8 does nothing. Against level 4, they both do 60 durable damage. It's still absolutely wild that it does so much less damage to durable targets than a sentry that mounts the exact same gun.

@@ReddwarfIV - Yeah, you got it. It's got the exact same stats as the turret version... except the durable damage. The thing that makes it effective against large targets is 1/5th as strong.

Just use the mech to clear medium mobs and the rest of your team will deal with BTs

@@redfish6549 - Then why bring the entire mech?!?! I can do that with a shotgun!

I appreciate your passion for mechs lol

Long time subscriber and honestly, apologising for bird sounds is the final straw for me. Unsubbed and disliked.

It's fine, it's simply the caws of liberty!

Just get the crossbow already

Sounds like budgies

i believe the ceo is now working on balancing so there is a silver lining but it'll be fine before we see the benefits

This 1000% they take lazy routes to fix problems instead of fixing the problem itself they say “let’s just make it not aim down so it can’t blow itself up” same reasoning for nerfing eruptor “the shrapnel is bugged so instead of figuring out why let’s just remove shrapnel bam no more bug” it’s so lazy

@@BWING224 It's a shame they don't have geniuses like you on the dev team that can instantly solve their problems. Maybe you should send them your resumé.

This is the key issue, and one that Ratatoskr lightly touches with the "just learn where the misaligned reticle is shooting the rockets" comment from previous video. You can, yes - but what is the guarantee that it will work the same even tomorrow, or two days from now, or next week? They keep changing and tweaking and changing everything that it's straight up impossible to develop any kind of muscle memory for stuff, because as soon as you're used to something working a certain way, it's changed and nerfed. Cool!

Waaah my broken build got balanced so I have actually have to try waaaah, ass comment

I've been emancipated from wasting more time on this game.

My fun has been emancipated.

Just a check so that I know I’m talking to someone who knows what he’s doing/talking about: Is heavy AT (meaning rocket launchers and Quasar Cannon) an absolute necessity for every player on Helldive bugs?

​​@@dunadan7136I know you're not talking to me, but this is the reason I hate playing lvl9. Not because it's hard, but because it ironically limits the FREEDOM of what Stratagems you should bring

@@ksuma715 In what sense are you limited by stratagem choices? You need to elaborate more before I can treat this comment of yours seriously.

@@ksuma715 (Also, the correct answer for Helldive bugs is that no, you don't actually need everyone to bring rocket launchers and Quasars. If anything, this is sub-optimal since this basically leaves nothing for quickly clearing the equally dangerous mediums. For anti-tank work, good use of the 500 kg and Precision Strike works just fine, especially for players leaning more into swarm clear. Swarm clear is a big reason why the default MG is actually still a strong pick for Helldive bugs.)

​@@dunadan7136Of course, it is NOT NEEDED, but due to how many Heavies there are in lv9 you're far better off to carry those. 500+precision also has always been my go to for lvl9 bug(change ops if there's orb scatter), with 400 hours of "testing" just on the bugs, I've found it is MUCH better to compliment those 2 strats with 2 other heavy killer strats, such as Quasar/Eat specifically for Chargers, 110pods to clear those titans that didn't die from 500 etc etc. . Mob clear is cake walk without strat and never been an issue, I always use either Sickle or Blitzser due to their inf ammo(and stagger for the Blitzser), consistently racking 300-400 kills per game without any mob killer strat. . This is the "freedom limitation" I was referring, it's better(almost mandatory)to focus Heavy Killer strats, thus limiting the Strats you should take. Of course you can take any Stratagems you want, but if there's a sharper knife why bother with the blunt ones

even b4 the nerf the Mech is so fragile and totally not worth a strategen slot.

That's bullshit tho, there i can't a gree, the fucking point Is It bering a n exo, not a mecha, It carryes weapons, It ever said anywhere It was armored ​@@enishiyukishiro6751

High level players have to take into account the value you get for each stratagem slot. The mechs are not worth their 10minute CD for 2 minutes of value at most. By comparison, you'd be better off bringing a 500kg eagle strike.

It is actually really tough if you use it right. I really like bringing it even on helldive missions. It does run out of ammo and you can only summon it twice per mission. But now you can summon both mechs you can pretty much spend most of the mission riding one! I don't understand why more people aren't using them. At the very least you don't have to run everywhere on foot like a peasant.

@@dmar3651 Really makes me wonder what's the point of adding these in the game then? I said I feel the same way for weapons too because on paper you will see the variety and be like, "Oh so many guns," Then play a bit on like even difficulty 6 or something and realize you need Med Armor Pen, but wait, Liberator Penetrator which is supposed to be that solution to the problem however, it does so little damage compared to it's default version that I really feel cheated out of my medals when I bought it. Arrowhead simply doesn't know how to balance their game it seems.

That's bullshit already debunked and adressed The CEO itself said It, they are changing that balanced direction

@@NivRel What is said and what is done remains to be seen. Unless Alexus is removed from the balance team, we can only assume the only thing we'll keep getting is non-sensical nerfs and "buffs".

@@mrbigglezworth42 and employee doesn't have a Word over a course change from the CEO itself Anyway, It isn't blind optimism if i say that the next 2/3 patches at most Will prove a lot of people wrong (Just don't like people acting as if they didn't Say It themeselves that they have seen the issue and will do a course correction, you'll ha e people like that Scream around, then never doing the same when positive changes come)

@@NivRel that’s a lot of faith to have for someone that hasn’t done much for the community. I’d like to believe that the former ceo can just come in and magically fix things but I’m just tired of waiting and having my hopes crushed. I’ll come back to the game in a few months and see. I wouldn’t hold my breath on it tho.

@@AudiblyBlind that's... more like logical thinking? Dude, if a higher up tells you to change course you change course, it's not that complicated We are kinda 100% sure the people working there had the issue of overwork, that led to them using data rather than feeling to balance stuff, and It al makes sense, these info are pretty Easy to get even whitout the company's transparency, we are talking to people, not a corporate entity, change can happen with more ease

I sure hope this doesn't turn into Red dead redemption 2 online, where it's painfully obvious how easy it would be to improve the game, but they just refuse to do it. From day 1 the online should have been about robbing and stealing across the country, instead it was a ridiculous penny pinching grind.

😂 how about this, dropped into my first game, dropped my exo suit and the resupply destroyed it, then, later I joined a game, dropped my mech at a flag raising point, and my mech ended up on top of the statue, luckily I had a jet pack to get to it, otherwise it would have been a waste, but an eagle never misses 😂

@@IsaacMSingleton1 BRO that happens like 50% of the time it gets dropped on a statue or some rock you cant climb WTF so many times you call it in an open field and pilot be like 'yeah nah this un'climable obstacle 20m away from were you called it will make a fine landing pad'

You should be able to shoot near your feet regardless of splash damage. Seriously, thats the least thing to worry about when the pelican would somtimes drop the mech on some unreachable rocks.

Well you've always got the stomp attack for anything little that's standing on your feet but too big to just crush by walking over it. Anything bigger will be hit by the guns whether you aim at your feet or not. You definitely have to be careful with the beacon lol. I called one in near a wall and it ended up dropping inside the wall and immediately exploding. I started finding clear areas to deploy after that
