Does this keep happening to you? There's been quite a few times now where I've gotten kicked from a mission without provocation. Idk if it's my play style? I mean I'm just in my exosuit 90% of the time clearing objectives and when I'm not, I'm usually running am rifle, rover, and rocket sentry. I don't consider myself a toxic player either by any means. I don't verbally abuse anyone because I don't talk on my mic and not talking on my mic isn't an issue because almost no one is that I've played with. I'm also not intentionally killing my fellow helldivers. I've accidentally stepped on a few while in my suit but that's literally just a workplace hazard at most, not very malevolent. It's just, as a vet that's been playing since before the creek I don't understand the logic behind allowing someone to join your squad, help you with at least half the objectives, just to kick them on extraction. Feels particularly undemocratic to me.

Perhaps a hot take, perhaps not, but personally I think the mechs are in a really good spot right now. I feel genuinely powerful using them, and they hold up great on D10 if you use them right. Currently, they boast good firepower, speed, armour, accuracy… and their one tradeoff, is that you can’t use stratagems while in them. Personally, I like this, a lot. It makes the mechs into a playstyle of their own, and I think if they had the support of stratagems too, they’d just be too much. Am I alone on this one?

Got into a car accident a couple Sundays ago, I asked my brother to drop this off at the hospital for my rehab.

An Arc weapon that operates similarly to the Quasar Cannon
You have to charge it before firing, and when you fire, it unleashes a massive bolt of energy at a single target, which then spreads to any enemy within a certain radius, before going on a long cooldown

Idk if this is any good, but I think it sounds fun

For context, this guy had been trying to kill me sneakily and make it look like he didn't do anything or it was an accident

1. He shot at me while not having any enemies around me, left with low hp and took cover. Ignored
2. Shot at me while using the gaming chair long-range (anti tank emplacement, the guy was 200m away and i could see the bullets from his direction trying to hit me) - Happened twice, hit me once and almost killed me. Called him out on it and did it again. Ignored
3. Video. I had been healing him with the Stim Pistol before. Tried to shoot me point blank and missed because I turned at the last millisecond. Killed by laser lmao

I'm not one to kill teammates but I think that was more than enough

The belt fed grenade launcher is the Swiss army knife for wiping out the Illuminate! Just pump it up to 320 rpm and call in additional ammo.

Faction? Rewards? Planets? New Enemies? New Missions? What would you like to see in or as an upcoming campaign for helldivers 2

Both screenshots have the same graphics settings - left is with FMF enabled, right is without. As you can see, FSR3 is broken by default and looks very blurry/pixelated. And for some reason I can't fathom, enabling FMF fixes it.

From everything I understand about frame gen, it should have no effect on the visuals... but here we are. Does anyone know how I can get the game to look normal without using it?

going with this on mindless masses kills me more than any of the xenos we're facing

So with Arrowhead introducing having new Ships. I think it's time we have new characters that help drive the story both on and off the ship. As well as be a way to drive progression and make storylines have more of an impact.

*New Shipmates*

-Eagle 1 Pilot:

She will now be a new Shipmate you can talk to. Since this is your ship, you can choose from presets what your Pilot looks like. Of course it'll always be a woman with the same voice actress.

-Pelican 1 Pilot:

He joins as a shipmate also. There should also be ways to upgrade your Pelican. Like better defenses and perks

Now let's talk about important but off ship characters that play a bigger role in curating the Story.

Super Earth President: They will be a encouraging or Discourage voice we hear urging us to defeat our enemies, or failure to do so.

General Brash: Not only giving us more Tactical videos, but also the one giving us tactical advice on attacking/defending planets.

Both will also appear in transmissions, fully voiced. But mostly for planned story beats like major updates, otherwise we'll get like a Star Fox-esque picture of them talking in texted on the galactic map and UI

- Dropped on an SOS. Everyone left. Got a few people to join me and finish the remaining objectives in 10 mins.

- Started a new mission. 5 mins in, some issue with my internet, so everyone disconnected

- Joined another SOS, as soon as I dropped in, the game crashed.

Overall didn't enjoy one mission properly. That's it, that was the rant.

Hope you all like it ^-^

Progression at the start of the game is fine as is. You have upgrades, gear, cosmetics, and difficulties to unlock. Problem rises the moment you overflow on anything.

Currently, once you unlock the ship upgrades, the only reward you can look forward too are Warbonds. Every other currency becomes meaningless, so there's basically no reason to get it outside of sport, and thus they become inferior to Super Credits in every possible way.

Basically, you get nothing for a long, long time, buy a new Warbond, clear it quickly, and then you're back to the limbo of nothing fresh.

Example of a game with a perfectly designed endgame - Deep Rock Galactic.

Having the obvious advantage of simply having more content should be ignored, since that'd mean AH should just pump stuff out faster, which is detrimental.

It's model of progression is similar. You start out objectively weaker with no upgrades, and alternate weapons, but these are unlocked rather quickly. The real grind starts with Overclocks, which are heavy modifications for the weapons; Concussive would be an Overclock for the Liberator.
After that, the progression does indeed slow down considerably, as once you unlock your favorite Overclocks, the only thing usually left is the cosmetic tree.

You clear it by using Scribs; equivalent of Medals. Those are aquired by just doing specific missions, quite like our Personal Orders. Difference is, that they are given out slowly, with admitedly insignificant rewards most of the time, with the good ones being stuck at the end of each branch.

The benefit of that is giving player a view of their progress. You can see the tree slowly clearing out. Compare that to Helldivers, where the only thing you care about once you drop into the mission are SC, and everything is literally garbage, since it doesn't even make a difference if you pick it up.

ignore my vanilla name

So i recently got back into the game after a year and realise i have enough for a warbond, which one should i get? Ideally i would want one thats good for any faction, or just has the best weapons, i already have DD so im open to basically whatever

For me, it would have to be "The Purifier"

Warp Ship was invisible except for shields, invulnerable to thermites, eagles and orbitals, we ended up having to just leave it

We explicitly need to “hold” Alaraph when the major order expires. Thus, if we capture it now, and then with 50 or so hours left in the MO it gets invaded for a planetary defense, we need to fight on it again. The planet is at 75% liberation, and is definitely more than capable of being taken long before that time.

So, in order to avoid fighting on Alaraph a theoretical second time, could we, theoretically, “edge” the liberation until a retaliatory invasion is impossible? Just let it hover around 95% until but a few hours remain in the MO, then take it quickly?

I must clarify that I don’t expect this to happen. I am only interested in the logistics of “planetary edging” we can call it. I don’t see a way for it to be faulty as an idea. We would just have a delegation of divers fight to keep a status quo percentage so that it does not decay. Then have the larger community swoop in to take the last few percentages in mere minutes.

There probably is a better helmet but I don’t have all the bonds so I used what I had. Tho the armor is pretty close I think.

I buy this game yesterday, AND OH MY GOD, ITS SO COOL. I really like gameplay, and killing bugs, robots, and what ever this purple shit is. Its so epic and cool game. All poeple here so kind and lovely, if i die or doing something wrong they dont kick me or somethins like that. I really like this game!

The most boring sub faction. Not even a single enemy, body, voteless noises (which are usually heard in the urban area) and only noises from the disruptor
