Question: Is there a diference in body types or is ot just purely visual? (Hitbox, turnspeed, whatever?)

I don't know for certain but I'd imagine there is no difference@@K0RT3K

@@Woolie ok

@@Woolie The game says that it makes no diference, but with the level of detail in Helldivers 2 I do not really believe that.

The Redeemer pistol performs worse than the starter gun for clearing trash mobs which I assume is the intended use of a sidearm.

agreed

Enemies not gaining health with higher difficulty and enemies gaining new attacks are my favourite ways to do difficulty, it's not everywhere in this game but there are some enemies like the Bile Spewer gaining access to a mortar attack in addition to it's extra armour.

I swear they do, though. At least bile titans must do. A full orbital laser killed one outright before, but on the higher difficulties, it doesn't.

I think they do slightly, the charger takes 2 hits to kill with the rail in the leg on lower difficulties while it takes 2+ a bunch of shots to the exposed flesh on 9

Unfortunately that's not true tho. Enemies gain health with difficulty. Either that or all bugs had their health buffed recently and it coincided with me getting access to hardermissions. But it feels like killing the bile titans on hard for the quest of killing them is way easier than killing the same bile titans on suicide mission. They still die to 2 perfect headshots with a recoilless rifle but on hard you can whiff a little and it's still gonna die, on SSCD mission the hits have to be pinpoint perfect or they'll just eat the shells.

Pretty un-patriotic to not secure every last inch of the map in the name of Super Earth. Borderline treasonous. Sounding like a certain someone needs a brush up on their Democracy.

This. Too many people want to fight each and every fight and every enemy they see. The fights don't matter. Finishing the objectives matter.

Thats what annoys me about my current mates.... on one side they want to increase difficulty but on the other side they cry about too many heavy enemies spawning because they keep triggering patrols.....

I've noticed that if you use orbitals on a group of enemies that hasn't seen you yet they'll just walk around confused wondering what the hell is going on. It's also really easy to lose enemies in pursuit on planets like Mantes that have plenty of trees that block line of sight. They search but they'll have no idea where you are.

Super key. I can't tell you how many missions I have failed because my idiot squad mate Just HAD to aggro that oblivious swarm on the ridge and then hold their ground against 3 breaches rather than complete the mission. It's me, I'm the idiot squad mate.

Smoke grenades or a smoke eagle are great for breaking contact, getting away from a big pointless fight and getting towards the next objective. They are incredible, especially against bots

This is undemocratic speech, and I won't hear it.

Eagle always hits their target, their target just isn't the same as your target

As the other person said, they don't miss... The beacon. The fact the enemy isn't on the beacon isn't the pilots problem :/

eagle always hit exactly where you tell them, you are the one tht miss

This man needs to be re-educated

@@beefychickens-8276 take him to the freedom camp

Grenadier with horde clearing orbital or eagle is extremely important in high difficulty. I have seen so many times that a full squad consisted of only single shot / semi shot anti-armoured weapon and high cool down stratagem get swarm by dozen of light armoured unit because they can't clear them fast enough as they spawn. Despite there's increase in the number of medium and heavy armoured unit, light armoured unit still consists of majority of all units during the encounter. Grenade Launcher is still very effective against devastator and stalker because it can stun them and give a breath window for your teammate to take it out with their high penetration weapon.

Was waiting to see someone else mention Defender SMG. It is a complete 100% upgrade over the assault rifle and IMO I find it way better than the Breaker. It can't chew through a line of cyborgs in the same way as the Breaker, but I generally swap to the railgun in unsafe mode for higher penetrating shots to deal with that nonsense. PERSONALLY, if you are with a good team, the Recoilless Rifle is amazing when handling the cyborgs, but you _REALLY_ have to be with a good team. Not necessarily for the assisted reloads, but y'all need to be very good at covering one another. The RR can down a dropship if it's hit in the right spot instantly. This makes horde spawns much easier to deal with. I played one level 7 with a guy who was rolling around with the RR. He'd use it to handle dropships or hulks, and would only ever reload it by himself in a sensible spot (like surrounded by hard cover). I'd watch his ass just to be safe, or if I saw him reloading in the middle of a firefight, I'd make sure to cover him. The smoldering dropship also serves as additional, totally free damage at the cost of ONE rocket, since it will spiral out of control and land on something. Sometimes your teammates. Sometimes a pesky Hulk.

Yup SMG baybee, you can also carry the package with your primary

Fun fact, the Autocannon can also clear bug holes

@@ESaSi-dj7wwIt's true and I really like it but we decided to shelf it because 1. it doesnt have AoE and 2. it can only hurt Chargers from the back and Bile Titans takes ages with it 3. it needs a backpack. Sadly it's just outclassed because Grenade clears hordes instead of single bugs and Railgun just does things better without a backpack slot.

Fr this game already has so many talentless slop farm youtubers it's ridiculous

Yes

chargers is joke by itself cause you can run circle around chargers, the hulk is something else

Yeah I'm not sure if we'll get the major order that's up right now. It's understandable though cause those defend missions can get crazy especially solo (kill me 🤮)

@BBBerti -Tbf players can get their 8 wins by just playing Trivial mode. Did that a couple of times solo and it was incredibly easy post-patch. Plus, they get 12,500 credits for strategems / whatever else uses that currency if they complete the order.- -Might just be that casual players aren't really invested, which is understandable, like what you said.- *EDIT:* Turns out the 8 wins aren't tied to individual missions. Instead, they are tied to planets, and in order to win the planet, we have to beat the Automatons in a sort of points race until a timer runs up. Once the timer runs out, whoever has more points will claim the planet, and if we are the victors, then we will gain a point in the Major Order. So, to contribute to the Major Order, you just have to complete as many missions as you want on any planets with a massive DEFEND marker over them, which will add points to our bar and hopefully contribute to a victory for Super Earth. Although this isn't confirmed, I'd assume that failing or abandoning missions would add to the Automaton bar. It would also make sense for the Automaton bar to slowly raise over time regardless of activity since not doing so would insinuate that players could stall a Major Order by simply not playing the game. Thanks to zTxMeta for the correction. Devs should have made this clearer tbh.

​@@inconsideratebox3000it's not about winning individual operations, it's about the entire community successfully defending 8 whole planets

@@inconsideratebox3000 by doin it on trivial you add almost nothing to the liberation meter.. just sayin.... the lower the difficulty, the lower tzhe impact on the planet!

I was confused about him not mentioning recoilless. Like, surely if the disposable breaks armor, recoilless does too?

Recoiless strips a charger leg's armor in one shell, meaning you can kill it with your primary easily since it will also stun him out of its charge most of the time. I haven't unlocked the railgun yet since i'm not lvl 20 but i the only difficulty i have yet to unlock is helldive

As far as I can tell the RR does the exact same damage as the EAT, it's nice as a more dedicated rocket option

unreliable lock on is being nice to say the least. I have gotten ONE shot off with it through an entire match and will not use it again

The spear can be replenished with regular ammo. You get one from each regular ammo box and two from resupply boxes. The lock on is pretty troublesome though, but when I’m in charge of dealing with heavies I bring the spear over the recoiless, eats, and quasar cannon. I also got familiar with how precise the lock on needs to be and most of the time I can just one shot heavies( I only run difficulties 7-9). What would make the spear absolutely my go to would be if it could lock onto shrieker nests and only take 1 for each nest. 😅

^This. I hit lvl 20 last night and figured out real quick how powerful the Railgun was!

@@zackroshaven8900yess bro just hit level 32 and the railgun hasn’t left my hands since level 20 damn near 😂

You can also damage the eye with auto cannon and anti materiel rifle, both kill in two shots. If you fight multiple hulk's they drop fast with good aim and you might save an orbital beam that way

RIP Railgun 💀

@@CatWithThumb I wanna use whatever cracked out railgun you're using!

only kill what you cant outrun. usually when getting overrun its because those orange winged hunters. if youre moving, the charger will clear the crowd for you sometimes. if youre getting overrun by biles. hit pause on that objective and go do something else. sometimes people get tunnel vision on the objectives. it could be better to take small strke at it, do a side objective, then loop back t it

I haven't found that to be the case at all. In fact, the more bug nests you destroy, the fewer enemies you seem to encounter.

​@BSEUNHIR there is an in game tip that literally saus what nez said

​@@BSEUNHIRthe patrols aren't effected by the nests in the slightest. As has already been said patrols crank up in volume the longer the mission goes on, more patrols means more chances for breaches/drops

But mah sampuls 😢

@@zTxMetaThat's not my experience. There is a significant reduction in patrols if you take out all the nests.

this sounds like a good tip but I have this feeling that I would absolutely confuse the heck out of myself with it

@@Lunageldia i've also changed stratagem menu from ctrl to mouse side button and as for me it feels more natural to be this way :)

​@@sweetsillysquidor, and hear me out, you can start another mission and find 2-3x the amount in the same time youd spend finishing that map AND you get more other curency/xp. No brainer.

The biggest issue Arc Thrower has is the finnicky arcing of the bolt getting hung up on things like the ground, boxes or fences.

or teammates lmao

@@Sorain1Definitely an issue. If the enemies feet blocked by cover, the arc will often just ignore them completely. That means you need to be fully exposed in order to shoot it. Still one of the best weapons for light and medium targets. I'm not really sure why anyone uses the grenade though.

in regards to this. I wish people stop taking marked patrols as a challenge.

Unfortunate tbh, it basically means you have to play on lower difficulties if you want to wipe the map of enemies.

Except for the primary garbage, use whatever feels best, not whatever some meta only ass says you should use Breaker is beyond boring when every gun is good

Adding onto using the radar, armor sets which grant bonuses to radar pings are heavily underused and I see nobody using them the way they should be used. When I roll with armor like that, especially if our team is split up handling objectives, I use my pings on the map to show my teammates what's around them. I recently used it to guide a friend through some mountainous terrain so he could avoid the swarms of scouts around him. I just kept moving to my objective, and used the map to occasionally update the radar pings around his position. Pings set by these armors scan further than the default player's radar can reach, and EVERYONE can see what they find. If you have an armor with a bonus like this, PING STUFF CONSTANTLY. Whether you're headed for an area and want to see what's around it, or want to show someone else what they might be walking into. It's also useful for extraction, since you can just drop pings around the area to see where enemies are coming from much further away.

I love getting called out for getting the least amount of kills, but they know damn well its because they just sat there wasting reinforcements fighting for 20 minutes while I'm running around doing all the objectives lol

Radar with the ship upgrade and booster for range goes crazy for efficient map clearing and stealth

​@@codythatcher735unless they change the breakdown to include the enemies sizes, the amount of kills is not a good metric. It's easier to kill 40 smalls than 1 big bile titan

@@finickyflame thats what im sayin

Back of the charger takes way less damage from anything that isn't explosive damage. However if you blow the armor on their legs off it takes full damage from everything

@@yaveker 10% damage for non-explosive

That’s literally what happened to me. The host killed me 3 times but I was ok with that since he was a noob, my turret killed him one time in the extraction, he kicked me in 1 sec lol

I've been kicked so many times, despite often carrying teams of randoms wasting their lives left and right because they run straight into enemies and kill themselves repeatedly with their own eagle strikes. There was one game where I avoided being killed the whole mission and carried everyone's samples, but the host and his friends ran straight into a walking barrage and exhausted their lives right at the moment of extraction. Even the one person I reinforced died seconds after landing. They were so angry that I was the only person to extract that they kicked me before the extraction scene was finished.

Man, idk why but I can't even get into groups even 2 months in. QM never finds matches. SOSs never work, and whenever I try to join rando missions by clicking to join in progress ones on the map, it fails immediately. I can join friends, but the one or two people on my list who were actually playing seem to have moved on already. I've been stuck playing a coop game solo pretty much always, which has significantly reduced how much I'd otherwise play. Very rarely a rando joins me, but never when I drop an SOS. Usually they don't talk, do stupid stuff like fight everything in sight, and leave after one mission. The one or two times I've actually managed to join someone else, I got kicked almost immediately for no obvious reason, with no warning. This seems like a cool game, butso far my experience with HD1 was infinitely better.

@@TheJeremyKentBGross here's a tip i found works. Pick a mission and launch it, use sos beacon and after it lands return to ship alone. Then load up any mission on any planet you want to play and select the mission then just wait. People will join you pretty quick now. Just turn crossplay on and make sure your set to public.

Be their teacher so that they can become a better diver than your sensitive ass

It also doesn't help that the devs nerf stuff to the ground to prevent players from having fun. Resulting in a slow grindy "min-maxing" shooter game.
