      HD2 is only temporary success until the AC catches up with them. Whether or not it's true that its bricking people's PC's doesn't matter as much as the fact that they are actively banning the people who make discussion threads about in on steam. Main one being Oakatusz's thread compiling all the evidence against Game guard. Arrowhead stated beforehand they wanted to hear this backlash, and that if it was bad enough they would consider replacing the AC. It's sad

      The biggest tragedy is that other game studios are going to see it probably do poorly and, instead of realizing that happened because the game sucked, think that people just don’t want pirate ship games.

It's amazing how they managed to make everything look so good, the movement feel so fluid, the weapons so punchy, and the missions fun. It definitely feels like a lot of care went into making this game and I'm all for it. The Super-Earth propaganda wasn't lying, proud to be a helldiver.

I had insane moment of just running around Robots that filled the evac zone. I had one resupply dropped near the evac, so I managed to grab it just to refill stimpacks and grendas. But damn they missed a lot, and even with the nerf that energy shield is so good. My team was all down, no more reinforcements. No more stratagems available, just three dead teammates waiting for me to die as it looks impossible. One guy left the match, and I just jumped, utulized any object as a wall, threw impact in front to pass enemies, stimpacks held me up after any shot that went through the shield.

      Edit because I thought of a better way to explain this. You throw the strategem, the little ball itself at a bug. The bug is currently located at point A. The bug, while stuck with the stratagem on it, crawls over to point B about 100 meters away. Now both the bug and the strategem itself are located at point B. Let's say the stratagem was a single orbital precision strike. That strike will land at point A, not point B. The same applies with eagle strikes in my experience.

      Best Secondary - Redeemer
      Best Grenade - Contact
      Best Support - Railgun > Autocannon > Recoilless Rifle
      Best Support Backpack - Personal Shield = Supply Backpack - Jetpack for solo because of mobility

      Great combo, 50% ex res and autocannon is a blesing especially for the odd cqc.
      I use the railgun and orbital laser when on hell diff.
      I agree mostly for the canon, but the railgun and shield make it more survivable and give the ability to kill a charger from most angles.
      Also, the cqc with a cannon make it a problem since I tend to run with the scout armor (-30% aggro range not 50% armor resist)
      Having a canon or/and gustav is mostly a good thing in a team

      @@Skipper20009I should have specified but I was mostly thinking of the Autocannon turret.
      While I really want to like the Support Weapon Autocannon I don't like how it bounces off heavy armor, giving up shield/support pack is also a huge downside.
      Meanwhile the auto-turret does not bounce on heavy armor and if you put it in a decent spot it will put in a ton of work.

      If you think that's cool if you empty out your supply backpack you don't even need to call in a new one. All you to do is call in a normal resupply and after you're full on ammo if you pick up the leftover ammo boxes you start refilling your backpack instead just wasting the ammo pick ups. But thus only with the resupply ammo not with the littl ammo boxes spawned around the map.

    Stratagems: usually Railcannon, Eagle 110mm rockets, Railgun and Supply backpack.
    Together these give me plenty of survivability (4 seconds of constant healing with infinite stamina, mostly makes up for no shield backpack) and a ton of ammo, allowing for solo-ing a lot of stuff as well as quickly focusing down big elites. Additionally you're not relying on team resupply, while being able to give an occasional "pick me up" for teammate.

    Also due to autocannons ricocheting, you can shoot the top of auto fabs vents and ricochet a round into the building. Steep angles to the side will result in the ricochet hitting the edge of the entrance, you usually need to be 45 degrees in front of it. This can be done from across the map, however, if it was placed with a convenient facing direction. I've popped autofabs at 500m.

    Tip 1: Equipment and reinforcement beacons can be sticky. Throw that resupply beacon at the big baddy stomping your team for an auto-targetting alpha strike.
    Tip 2:
    When deploying, steer your pod to try to land on a rock or mountain peak. Taking advatage of that before mentioned stickiness of beacons, put a mortar sentry on top. It will vastly increase the area it can cover. It makes the heart fill with joy hearing it still spreading Democracy long after you've pulled out of the area.

    When your autocannon mag is half or below it's better to reload before it's empty because it's very quick that way and you lose zero bullets as it takes 2 packs of bullets for one mag. I think most people don't know that.

    • @etzwei7994
      @etzwei7994 Месяц назад

      No, you dont lose bullets. Autocannon has a 10 round capacity, but they reload 5 round clips.

Reloading before emptying it just puts in the clip without having to spin the magazine
