Helldivers 2

[Fire_fly]

Haven’t played this for a while, need to get back into it.

Met too. I was never any good at it but I really enjoyed the gameplay and atmosphere.

Up for trying to get a squad together?

i managed to get in last night for a few hrs and do some fighting on Earth with 2 other mates. it was a blast and was relieved they seem to have rebalanced the difficulty again after last weeks disasterous raids!.

also discovered the might of the R-36 Eruptor... what an absolute monster.

that combined with the stalwart for lighter combat is one hell of a combo and it makes easy work of destroying the space ships

I don't think there has been any balance changes. Just people getting used to fighting them again, learning to counter the new enemies and putting together effective loadouts. I'm using a completely different loadout to what i was using before and I'm still experimenting with things.

Quite enjoying playing on super earth!

only annoying thing is some stratagems hit the buildings rather than what your aiming for!

Warbond is not great but have completed just so its done.

Just getting back into this again with the new update, have they made the difficulties easier? Playing tier 8 with rando's and having 0 issues.

Some say the new faction are harder but ive been pugging max difficulty , it can get crazy but if your team make sure your not overrun most runs are successful.

I remember running bots and bugs with randoms and im sure at diff 8 it was a bit of a nightmare with a very high chance of failures but the squids seem to be pretty uneventful without any risk of failed runs so far. I've not run bots or bugs recently to compare though.

edit:

Just run a 9 with rando's and it was a lot more chaotic but still entirely achievable.

I play difficulty 10 with randoms and most of the time its ok.

I played this for the first time in months this week, and I was totally lost - those Super Earth missions get overwhelming quickly if you're a bit behind the curve and aren't blowing the landing craft up quick enough!

Yeah maybe start on tyranids to get your mojo back together. Then medium level automoton or illuminate.

Haven't played this in a while. What's the current loadouts for the various enemy types?

I just tend to use whatever I like at the time of gaming lol

Hopefully some decent gear in this one. Looks like it's arc focused which is neat.

The dog looks quite good. Can see it killing a lot of players though lol

Standard dog is already great so it will be a difficult sell!

But if the arc 1 stuns the mobs and hit multiple it will be even better.

Just wondering with it never wondering far from you if its going to hit you as well lol

That THING
It scares me...

 

[ED209]

Just noticed that they have added vehicle skins under 4 previously completed warbonds.

Spent the weekend farming for SC and also medals to buy these as well (55 medals each totalling 220 for them all).

All warbonds back to being fully completed and back to max medals ready for June the 12th when the next 1 comes out

Well guys, it sounds like Sony just FINALLY lifted most of the regional restrictions on Helldivers 2.
Our formerly restricted, regional allies can now report to thier local Democracy Officer for enlistment to the Helldivers Corp!

Wonder if these players still keep their progress or have to start over again.

Its been some time since its ban so people would be way behind even if they did keep their progress.
