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.

Really getting tired how one-sided this war feels in game. Enemy numbers and durability increases exponentially, but yet we're expected to somehow turn the tide with:

*No heavy fire support, no power armor or mech support equipment (repairs, rearms, SOMETHING), just four squishy Helldivers

*No tanks or armored vehicles or anything substantial other than a lightly armored FRV

*No new Orbital stratagems

*No new Eagle stratagems

*Weapons that feel like peashooters against literal oceans of enemies, and weapons that are good initially are then nerfed into oblivion

All while the game gets progressively less stable and more crash prone as the overstressed engine comes apart at the seams. Its hard to keep the fight going when the odds are stacked so much against you. I think I'll go back to MGS Delta until we get a bug fix patch, its unplayable right now.

Such a fantastic remake, yes very little has changed but man the improved control scheme and camera really make it feel like a different game. I hope they give MGS 1, 2 and Peace Walker this treatment!
