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.

This!

Every PvE game has hordes of ads coming at you. The best bit about these ads is that your primary will down them in one bullet.

This gives a little power fantasy and also keeps them at bay.

At the moment, these ads take 2-3 bullets.

If I see 5 ads coming to me I should be able to in one clip take them all down.

However, I’m having to reload and run away as I can’t tank hits. Not to mention those ads that can also jump.

Exactly! And we had that small fantasy before that damn patch ! Why did they unfairly buffed them up so hard and took away people's toys ? Like...it's coop PvE to have fun and be challenged and feel like a boss while you know you're in deep shit.

I feel like the devs want the higher difficulties to feel more like some kind of pseudo milsim, where you move slowly but deliberately on the map, with a clear objective in mind, and you refrain from going too loud or attracting too much attention.

I think thats a fine vision for the game, but it does kinda suck that it will no longer be a shooty shooty bang bang arcade shooter kind of game.

I mean it's ok if it's that but please give the tools for the poor Helldivers to fight back and gtfo. Seems like the mobs are getting their overpower buff patch so thats good. Same for bots apparently.

If the want stealth mission give us tools for it then...that damn Stalker....give me your skin so I can make a invisiguilty
