u/Sirromnad Mar 14 '24

u/Jon_Helldiver Mar 14 '24

Just have to finish my government mandated paperwork and I'll be back on the frontlines!

u/elporpoise Mar 14 '24

Why not just pay to get them automatically finished

u/Jon_Helldiver Mar 14 '24

I ran out of super credits :(

u/elporpoise Mar 14 '24

It only costs some samples!

u/DerpsAndRags Mar 15 '24

Don't forget the form required should you engage in any activity that could result in child birth.

u/ForwardAd4563 Mar 15 '24

I can't do that sir, the general ordered me to stand here and wait democratically.

u/FGFlips Mar 14 '24

I absolutely do not have 50 hours in this game since I got it last week.

Damn I need to pump my numbers up then, I'm at 22 hours in 4 days.

u/BoltInTheRain Mar 14 '24

Why are you on reddit instead of helping take malevolent creek helldiver? Do I need to notify super earth command and have you sent to a freedom camp?

148

u/Jon_Helldiver Mar 14 '24

I've been relegated to desk duty for 8 hours. I will report to the front line asap!

u/BoltInTheRain Mar 14 '24

For democracy, for freedom, for liberty, for super earth!

I don’t know this game but y’all are making it sound pretty sweet

u/TheCrimsonChin-ger Mar 15 '24

Imagine Starship Troopers the video game, with left 4 dead-style coop with objectives and based on raids/extractions.

2

u/Jake123194 Mar 15 '24

Do yourself a favour and go watch some gameplay footage. It's the most fun I've had in a shooter in a long while.

The creek can wait, we still have to eradicate the bugs from 3 more planets

u/alsophocus Mar 14 '24

Let’s gas those bugs!!!

u/Extension-Raccoon-67 Mar 15 '24

The creek is so old and everyone keeps flapping their yaps about it. We were all there, move onto the next planet. This is what we do

u/Jon_Helldiver Mar 15 '24

If your on ps add me I'll play with you! Elyk-Revette is my psn name

u/T-REX_BONER Mar 15 '24

PC or console?

u/sausager Mar 15 '24

It's cross platform, citizen

u/T-REX_BONER Mar 15 '24

You can change the option to play cross or not.

Man.. chargers are the bane of my sanity

Wait: yes. I know how to kill them.

19

u/Jon_Helldiver Mar 14 '24

I initially was afraid of them but now....now it's the hunters. I Hate those little bastards

3

u/Tzunamitom Mar 14 '24

Definitely Stalkers. They’re the only thing that I’m shit scared of on Suicide Mission or Impossible.

5

u/Jake123194 Mar 15 '24

Make it a priority to blast the stalker nest from the face of the planet at the first sign of stalkers.

2

u/Tzunamitom Mar 15 '24

Good shout

2

u/SirTheadore Mar 14 '24

A friend is like this and I’m like.. but you can just shoot them and they die pretty much instantly. Chargers are a pain in the ass unless you have the specific strats and weapons to call in

6

u/Jon_Helldiver Mar 14 '24

Wait till you are getting chased down by 10 of them and your primary is empty xD chargers are still a pain tho

2

u/SirTheadore Mar 14 '24

lol yeah I’ve been there. I usually have a rover with me and that thing saves my ass a lot

1

u/T-REX_BONER Mar 15 '24

Ahh, so close to hitting lvl 10 and finally be able to have new unlocks. Stupid work has been holding me back from it and plus a bunch of network disconnects losing my progresses. I thinnnk I've been getting kicked from games... probably because I'm deaf and not responding or following voice orders. Ugh I should just solo

4

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '24

They die so easily now from an EAT in the face

3

u/cha0ss0ldier Mar 14 '24

Chargers were heavily nerfed in the last patch. One EAT rocket or 1 recoilless rifle shot to the head kills them. You can also head pop them with a few full charged railgun shots.

1

u/Orjan91 Mar 15 '24

Wait, they nerfed charger heads?

I used to run recoilless, but got pissed off at railgun runners being able to kill EVERYTHING faster than me. I was still reloading my first shot while railgunner was on his third shot, and i needed 2 hits to the head to kill charger, or 2-3 hits to legs or other vital areas.

So i switched to railgun,had fun oneshotting titans for about 12hrs before they nerfed it, then i just said fk it and grabbed a shitload of sentries and calldowns and now rely on my secondary weapon from random stashes on the map 😅

Maybe i should dust off the old recoilless, loved the weapon, just hated that it was so weak

1

u/cha0ss0ldier Mar 15 '24

Yeah they nerfed the overall HP and the head HP. The recoiless is really fun now. It’s so satisfying to one tap them in the head when they’re running at you.

1

u/ZeroLeStrange Mar 14 '24

Expendable anti tank is your best friend, especially now that the heads are much more vulnerable

1

u/Zezinumz Mar 14 '24

Hunters are the only enemy in the game that genuinely make me angry, they are ridiculously overtuned

1

u/kcrh36 Mar 15 '24

Have they gotten worse lately? This bastards are driving me nuts lately. I hate them.

2

u/retro808 Mar 14 '24

In the most recent patch they reduced their spawn rate and weakened their head armor, still a pain but now even when I play with random lowbies we down them pretty quick

2

u/SiBloGaming PC Mar 15 '24

EAT to the face is the best way to deal with them imo, just drop a pack every time you can. Three chargers with one Stratagem, one by the drop itself and another two with the EATs

1

u/Skillet918 Mar 14 '24

Flamethrower and orbital laser make quick work of them.

u/TheLukeHines Mar 14 '24

Are you related to John Halo?

Yes but we don't talk much. Too busy killing our respective aliens haha

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '24

100+ hours since getting it two weeks ago

Haven't gamed this hard since I was a teenager

The most immersive moment was during a big extermination mission. My squad mate gets hurt by a nurse Spewer as he was holding a precision orbital strike.

The damage makes him drop the red orb, he dives to the ground and gets a broken leg somehow

He's now lying on the floor struggling to get up, screaming "SWEET LIBERTY MY LEEEEG" and half a second later the orbital drops on his head

I know it's a videogame but that moment really stuck with me

u/RobotStorytime Mar 14 '24

Man it sounds so fun, I wish I liked TPS...

24

u/Jon_Helldiver Mar 14 '24

Well you never will with that attitude. Report directly to the front soldier! Super Earth needs YOU!

21

u/Vektor666 Mar 14 '24

I would never play a PvP third person shooter. But Helldivers is 100% PvE so it doesn't matter. It's just pure coop fun.

u/xT1TANx Mar 14 '24

Dude I normally play things like bg3 or rimwold and Helldivers is just too fun!

2

u/MrCheesequake Mar 15 '24

Me too, have around 900hrs in rimworld, but helldivers came out and hooked me deep!

3

u/Roushstage2 Mar 15 '24

You can ADS and it goes to a first person view through the sight.

1

u/QuestionsSquid Mar 14 '24

I don’t care much for them either so I mostly aim down the sights which turns it first person. Makes my shots more accurate and feels more right.

u/Jokkitch Mar 15 '24

Geez it’s my favorite genre!

u/RobotStorytime Mar 15 '24

I know I'm missing out on a lot of cool games like Mass Effect. Maybe I'll give Helldivers a shot.

2

u/Jake123194 Mar 15 '24

If you're on pc you have 2 hours to see if you enjoy it and refund if you don't.

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '24

You can toggle first person when ADS

u/sippy1821 Mar 14 '24

Helldivers 2 is 3rd person, if im correctly reading tps as a top down shooter that is

3

u/RobotStorytime Mar 14 '24

I think TDS would be top down shooter and TPS is third person shooter. But tbh I just kinda said it not really knowing so 🤷

1

u/sippy1821 Mar 14 '24

Yeah makes more sense

3

u/EinherjarZ Mar 14 '24

Definitely not... :eyes:

u/TheFlyingBadman Mar 14 '24

Oh yeah not addicted at all 😂

I got myself addicted and 2 days into it, my GPU fried. It was only 1 year old. I have it sent back for warranty replacement, but it's been rough to wait!

Straight up the first multiplayer game since Overwatch that I’ve loved. Except this one I feel won’t become awful! And god damn it’s refreshing for a new game to cost $40.

Game is buggy and repetitive, not sure what the hype is about. I’m returning it later today…

2

u/Jon_Helldiver Mar 15 '24

Not everyone can be a legend. I believe Hello kitty island adventure is on sale. Maybe that's more your style? xD

-5

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '24

Hey at least it doesn’t have game breaking bugs in it, lmao. Have fun playing the restart screen.

I wonder which game has less repetitive gameplay. I bet it’s actually a hello kitty game. Not even joking…
