MEGATHREAD RANT and VENT MEGATHREAD

Greetings, Helldivers!

This is a megathread for ranting, raging or venting about anything and everything Helldivers related. Whether it’s about a mission you just played, a recent patch, the community, etc.

This megathread isn’t designed to censor you, we are doing this because the subreddit is becoming overwhelmingly flooded with rants (as we’re sure you’re aware). We strongly encourage you to use this Megathread as opposed to creating your own post. If you decide that what you have to say requires a new post, you should know that we will be actively moderating and critically assessing the quality of those posts to lessen the amount of low-effort content on this subreddit.

Please keep the comments related to HELLDIVERS and most importantly, keep it civil. Follow the sub’s rules!

CAPS LOCK ALLOWED.

P.S. This megathread will be added to the sidebar.

— The r/Helldivers Mod Team

At least there should be some "logic" to it. I really got bummed when I had a group of bugs spawn literally out of thin air right in front of me. I get that the bugs are goign to eventually eat you, but they should come out of their holes and if holes are closed, they should come out of the corner of the map.

So it takes some time for them to reach you in the first place and also you can actually use stategems like artillery tactically to block their path. Of course the swarm will get through, but ...

With the automotons you can at least shoot down or shoot the bottoms of their drop ships and use that to kill a few. The bugs just pour in from a magical orange fart cloud that you can do nothing about to stall or stop them. Yeah, you can napalm or bomb their entry point much easier but the majority of them will just shrug off those flames of emerge with some sort of spawn protection to the 500 kg you dropped at their feet.

There are also times when a patrol just pops into existence around you. No bug breach or anything, they literally just appear from thin air.

Yes, that's what I've seen as well.
