Helldivers 2

Clocked up 5 hours so far and only just reliased that you can buy new strategems.
Was wondering how players the same level as me were running around with sentry guns...
 
I usually main the auto cannon as it’s incredibly strong and a jack of all trades. You can take out the dreadnought bots with a few shells to the central red eye at medium distance, and can take out chargers with 5 - 6 rounds to the weak point on their ass. If you combine it with somebody using the rail gun to take out the charger’s front leg armour, they go down in one or two hits to the squishy legs.

It also reloads very quickly with solo reload, particularly if you manage to reload stages. As long as you don’t fully empty the gun, you can get away with only loading one clip at a time, which he effectively just drops in. Doing. Full gun reload adds an extra 2 or 3 seconds to the reload animation

Ok I have had enough of reading how good this is and watching you tube videos of others playing. Off to buy this game. Shame I don’t have time to play it!

As mentioned before, if you buy it from Steam, play under 2 hours and within 14 days you can refund it if its not for you.

I got it from CDKeys for £26.99 which you cannot refund but I have enjoyed it and still do.

Level 17 now (nearly 18)

finding it harder on the higher difficulties as I have not unlocked everything yet but still doing well with randoms.

Just Remember to get out of the habit of reloading unless the mag is empty otherwise you loose whatever ammo is left over when you reload

One of the chaps I play with seems to be some form of female bile titan, they utterly love him. More often than not he's benny hilling several around after him whilst the rest of us are crying with laughter at his screams.

How odd, I've had nothing but seemingly clean games with randoms since launch all the way through to Suicide difficulty, then I've run into two within then hour tonight.

First guy wasn't actually doing anything mental, I only realised something was up 3/4 the way through a mission when we got swarmed from behind and he went crazy with the grenade launcher firing off a good 20+ shots without reload. I kept an eye on him afterwards and he never reloaded or supplied up from what I saw so he might have had infinite ammo.

Second one I'm not even 100% who it was, maybe multiple players, but it was a little more worrying. We had one of those random groups where people are just running off on their own trying to do side missions by themselves. One guy ran ahead, got killed, then me and another guy went to his spot to finish the objective and picked up his dropped materials. The person who picked them up sent a message in chat saying something like WTF? Glitch? loads of samples here? He then left a few moments later leaving me on my own in that area.

I made my way back over the map to where the other two now were, arriving just as one of them died, I picked up his dropped materials and picked up something like 5000 of every type in one go. I took the same approach as the other guy and just left straight away, didn't want any part of whatever was going on there.

Try not to go for all the map goodies especially with randoms, you do get odd capable ones but your best sticking to the basic objectives and extract the harder the difficulty gets IMO. Once your on the back foot in Hard and beyond it can be a painful experience :cry:
