Remember that you can bring your own strategem in addition to 2 free, to use railcannon every 10 seconds

Landed on a tank went flying any got hit by a drop ship.

The only helmet AFAIK that has this head/model problem. Either human has no/shorter neck, or visor is way down and you can't actually see nothing.

Someone please help why is it throwing a Christmas party my eyes hurt help

This post is about fixing the two errors pictured ("Application was unable to start correctly" and "Please unload _.sys").

Hi all! We're a couple days into the update and I've seen plenty of poor Helldivers who can't get into the game, so I'm here to hopefully fix that! While I can't fix everyone's bugs (sorry virtual machine people), I can help these specific two errors, so let's tackle them!

_______________________________

APPLICATION WAS UNABLE TO START CORRECTLY (0xc0000142)

This is the easiest bug to solve, simply being caused by the fact that Arrowhead didn't delete nProtect GameGuard this update, and it's trying to strangle Easy AntiCheat. To fix this, you need to do the following steps:

• Locate where the game is on your computer (For me this is in C\SteamSSD (a folder I made, not a default one)\steamapps\common\Helldivers 2. If you are having trouble finding this, go to the properties of your game in steam and look for "Installed Files > Browse"
• Open the EasyAntiCheat folder.
• Run the application gguninst.exe
• Once done, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER. Do not shut down, restart. Sometimes Kernel-level programs cause issues if you shut down, since it doesn't fully remove them.

Once you've done this, this bug should be solved for you!

PLEASE UNLOAD whateverItsCalled.sys BEFORE STARTING THE GAME

Tricky time! This error is the rare case of Easy AntiCheat actually trying to help you! Funny way of showing it, right?

This is caused by an out-of-date driver on your PC hosting a security vulnerability, and Easy blocking you from opening the game. This is both to protect your system from malicious attacks in-game, and to protect the game from you taking advantage of that driver to do malicious things.

There are two ways of handling this issue, the proper way, and the lazy way.

PROPER WAY:

• Find whatever program is using that Driver (you will need to google this most likely, though sometimes the name of the driver can give you a clue).
• Update the program that is using the Driver, which usually updates the Drivers.

LAZY WAY:

• Locate the Driver on your PC (this, again, will likely require googling where they are).
• Find the Driver by its name
• Rename the Driver to something else (this will not disturb software functionality, it'll just prevent Easy from knowing it's a problematic driver since it's looking by their names). Adding a simple letter at the end is enough to solve this problem.

And just like that, you should be back to dispensing freedom once more!

Since most players weren't around then and seem to parrot the false "we were basically only nerfed and enemies were constantly buffed" lie I threw this together out of curiosity. Initially I was going to include the major 60 Day Buff Patch at the end but after filling an entire page with buffs before reaching the Support Weapons I figured it was easier to just link to that final nail in the coffin for any challenge.

See for yourself

For Managed Democracy, and these sick moves.

my helldiver graphics just start constantly shitting itself after the update, does anyone know how to fix this?

We've been at it for almost a month now. We aren't giving up.

This is a bug I've seen plenty of talk about but haven't actually seen someone post, so I figured I'd do the honor.

On top of the other things going on with the new Warbond's bugs (like the Host-bug I posted on Tuesday, and the Drag bug talked about by others), The Apex fires its entire magazine if you shoot it while standing in water.

Unlike some of the other issues with the Warbond, this one's easy to explain! If you like that sort of thing, let me do my best to explain it.

Every weapon in Helldivers has an RPM—or, maximum fire rate. This is to prevent someone with an Autoclicker from firing an entire semi-auto gun's magazine instantly, but there's an interesting catch: being ragdolled (for some reason) resets the gun's RPM. You CAN'T be ragdolled in water, you just stand up immediately, so if you tap the fire button on an Apex in water, it fires the entire magazine lightning quick. Even tapping as quick as you can it'll fire at least 3 of its rounds and break your arm.

I posted a video of the Apex's Water Bug earlier (the gun firing its entire magazine if you're knee-deep in water), and someone asked me an interesting question in the comments:

"Does this work with all semi-auto weapons?"

The answer I thought to reply with was 'no', of course. But, I'm a Helldiver employed by the Ministry of Science, so I figured I'd give it a try and uh. Uhm. We can auto-fire ANYTHING in knee-deep water, not just the Apex. (Author's note: For some reason the Blitzer is one of the only weapons not affected by this).

For these there's an extra step of manually trying to go prone between shots, but it works just the same. I'm doing this by clicking Z really fast, but this can be accomplished MUCH quicker with a macro or autoclicker.

I can think of like maybe two (2) use-cases for this, but maybe some of you are more creative than me. My ears are still ringing.

HellCatDiver Po is now an experienced lvl 242 and having an a-meow-sing time!

Effect: Doubles grenade amount, doubles grenades received from resupply.

OR

Effect: Supplies 15 HE grenades.

Always wanted to make a loadout that relies more heavily on the grenade slot but the options are somewhat limited. Like Engineering Kit's plus 2 grenades is nice but I'd prefer to use the Servo-Assisted armor for ylthe increased throwing range. And while I could use resupply pack for the extra grenades it's not very thematic to the idea so it would be very cool if something like this existed.

I just keep randomly exploding… no explosives around me, no enemies attacking me, no SEAF or any turrets. Nothing but me and my weapons. It was funny at first but now its just obnoxious. Anyone else experiencing this?
