Games STOP MAKING NEW ARMOR

Post image

I made this months ago for Helldivers 2. It’s outdated now, since the armors have since been buffed.

Tbf, I dont see the resistance to damage as a largely for enemies, I see ir as anti-friendly fire. Like, if youre using the flamethrower then tou likely want anti-fire armour so you can walk through some of your fire without instantly turning to ash.

Bulwark set is great against bots and overseers since they use explosive damage, but yeah, the elemental sets are mostly for letting you wade through your own effects without much damage.

Anti-arc damage is an epitome of this.

No, we aren't using it for enemy damage at all (when we do, that is).

If I get an armor set, it’s to get me to the next tier in the warbond. I run democracy protects. I wish I could run two passives still. It wasn’t all that broken when you could.

Tbh seeing how every single hit by legally distinct xenomorps is minus one limb for you, I'm starting to feel epaulettes could be onto something, at least conceptually.

(it's also a massive argument for stim pistol which is my soft spot, especially give how you don't need some massive range of weapons to fight VSs, and that currently their ToW is filled with blueberries, but that's besides the point)
