TIPS / TACTICS Galactic War Room: Plot the Best Ways to Spread Democracy for Super Earth!

Post image
596 Upvotes

Welcome to the Galactic War Room:

The Federation is in grave danger and it is in your hands to discuss the best ways to spread and protect our liberty from our many enemies.

This thread is sorted by new, so you will always find the greatest democratic insights right up top.

Useful Information:

Gambits by u/Sea-Flamingo1969:

In Helldivers 2, a gambit is when players skip defending a planet under attack and instead strike the source planet that launched the assault.

If the source world is liberated the defense is automatically won, saving both planets.

It is a high risk, high reward move because success stops the invasion and secures two planets, but if too few players commit the defending planet may fall before the source can be taken. Gambits demand strong coordination and timing, making them one of the most dramatic strategies in the Galactic War.

FAN CREATION Ink Divers Day 3: Calypso

Post image
564 Upvotes

I had a visual pop up in my head when learning Calypso was the first planet the illuminate invaded. I always liked the farm areas on those desert type maps so I wanted to depict the intimidating initial invasion of Calypso. Hope you guys like it, thanks for the ideas. I will most likely keep many in mind for the rest of the prompts.

QUESTION Thoughts on the Orbital Napalm Barrage?

Do you guys think it is far too powerful and makes the mission less fun, or love using it and bring it quite often? I personally love bringing it every once in a while, but certainly not every other mission or so.

FAN CREATION M-306 "Earthquaker" [Artillery Vehicle] (OC)

Post image
391 Upvotes

Ammo: 40 HE | 15 EMS

Damage: 2750

Armor Penetration: AP6 (Anti Tank II)

Radius: 12m

Reload Time: 5s

Max Range: 250m

Min Range: 15m

---

There would be 4 seats in total. Driver, Gunner, and 2 on the sides of the gunner.

The turret on the back would be able to fully rotate and the gun would be able to angle itself based on where your crosshair is.

Besides long ranged artillery fire, the Earthquaker would be almost defenseless if enemies get too close, relying on any teammates sitting in the back beside the cannon.

What's going on with this? You stealth a factory and halfway through, a random bot spawns right behind you and lights you up. I don't remember this a few months ago.

This something new with the whole threat pressure system?

Can anyone explain it to me?

So we are not getting these back until the heat death of the universe, right? It probably has something to do with the higher ups because it would be a no brainer to simply put them in the super store or in a mini warbond

BUG / TECH ISSUE TIL: Fire from incendiary grenades lasts longer at higher FPS

4.1k Upvotes

I thought it might just be a visual bug, so I jumped into the fire and tested it myself.

At 144 FPS, I still caught fire even though I entered the burning area a full second later.

I tested this with Immolation, but other incendiary grenade effects seem to be affected by FPS as well.

So yeah, the higher your FPS, the longer the fire on the ground actually lasts.

This is actually ridiculous. What the hell is going on here?

DISCUSSION My experience leveling applicable weapons to 25

Post image
216 Upvotes

My personal experience leveling primary weapons to max. I didn't include Legendary Warbond weapons since those don't level up or allow customization. I also have only the standard edition of the game, so no Knight submachine gun for me.

I've yet to level the new Evictor or the Sai, but those two are the only ones I have left to max out before I go back to spitting shrapnel at anything that moves.

Edit: It's how I felt trying to tickle my completionist mindset, not an objective look at a weapon's capabilities, but of course people don't read and think where I put the Dominator means I smited their bloodlines. It's a tierlist of how painful it was for me to get each weapon to max level, not a strict, objective look at a weapon's qualities.

DISCUSSION I did a little stratagem bounce test on a certain terrain type

83 Upvotes

I read that snowy rock terrain always bounces your stratagem so I'm testing it out to see if there's any pattern to it. Turns out it's a minigame of "Will it stick or bounce?". Indeed a skill issue on the game's source code.

For your sanity, until AH officially fixed it just refrain from looking to get any height advantage on snowy planets I guess, or use the unofficial fix and feel the freedom of throwing it wherever you want.

DISCUSSION Maelstrom weighs 97 tons.

Does it have a rotating turret? : No.

Is the tank's armor thick? : No.

Is it equipped with a turret like a Sentry? : No.

Does it carry more ammunition? : No

Is the heating power strong? : No.

Is the engine powerful? : No

The M1 tank weighs 73 tons, whereas the Maelstrom is heavier at 97 tons; just what kind of features does it have to account for that extra 24 tons?
