Helldivers 2

the 3 I play with (any myself) are not that good.

whilst we have done super helldive with automatons and can do some templates semi regularly, it's far from certain and the squids and even the termanids we find tricky and don't play level 10 generally . there are 2 other friends who play it and if they are in our party things are far easier.
 
Yeah I'm glad they've made it more difficult, as mentioned 10 was pretty easy. However, I wish they'd fix the damn silent chargers! They're the ones regularly killing me on the new planets.
I've found the light armour with 50% acid resistance to be massively helpful; light armour also helps for stamina/speed as it's largely hit and run tactics - alongside using turrets to clear space.
 
I'm just getting into this and really enjoying it. Playing with randoms is surprisingly good fun but I did join one game as they were extracting ... dude intentionally teamkilled me and when I asked why he said "no moochers" :D

I might disable cross play ...

what warbonds do you have? I like the breaker incendiary shotgun from the the steel veterans , the coyote - the new dust devils.warbond, and the disruptor explosive rifle - Democratic Demolition.
if I had to pick one it would be the democratic demolition warbond.

but bear in mind I am no expert and I only have 5 warbonds Inc the freebie.

the beauty of Helldivers is , context dependant, you can make any weapon work so long as you spec your other gear.
ie you need something to close bugholes/end fabricators , and something to take down heavies (incendiary grenade, the explosive pistol and the expendable anti tank is not a bad shout, then with either a laser dog or a personal shield.

that would still leave you without a really heavy rocket launcher .. but the best ones need a backpack. you could use orbital strats for those. it all gets easier if you have a team as you can complement each others loadouts and share.

I am fortunate in that I have 5 other mates who play it,.some of them extensively .. but if not as others have said as a general rule the coop is quite good in this and as long as you don't friendly fire too much most people are happy to let you tag along even if you are not that good.

it can be annoying when they don't reinforce you but I have learned to go with a personal shield and try to look after myself at least for 1st mission then if it goes well consider changing if I stay for another.

Yes I have the shotgun, it was used a lot before I stopped months back. I just got the borderline justice one tonight but I also have SoF, demo detonation, polar. I also got the pistol in the shop that auto locks which was fun to use. Had credits stacked which came in handy!
 
I am still playing this a lot and enjoying it however has anyone noticed the daily challenge has become a lot more predictable. when I started the daily was a mixture of in game challenges like extracting 3 times , secondary objectives or collecting samples....

however they also had a bunch of killing X number of bad guys with various weapons or strategems. this encouraged players to choose loadouts outside of the usual meta or players comfort zone.
for a few months now all the weapon challenges seem to have gone. I think this is a shame.
or is it just me?
thanks

Yeah, its been the usual ones for awhile.

I have completed POs without even knowing what they where.

its always extract 3 times, extract from 3 missions, extract with xxx amount of samples etc.

I have had a few weeks off due to playing loads over the halo, normal warbond and getting back up to 250 medals.
 
logged in for the 1st time in a couple of weeks last night (i have been on holiday) and there seemed to definitely be a performance improvement for all of us, we had no crashes and no where near as many glitches.

all in all it was a fairly flawless experience and i have not said that about HD2 for a while.

just need to get that install size under control now - so i can put it back on my steamdeck for when doing a bit of trivial farming
