@@LtBuzzLitebeer servers will be max capacity and the illuminate will break the internet. This is truly one of the best games in my lifetime as a gamer (39 years). Glad I get to be apart of this experience and the amazing Helldiver 2 community. Keep up the good work!
This "event" was just sad. Wasn't expecting much, but at least something. There was nothing going on. I don't want to log into HD2 to "take a break from the war", I want something to fucking happen.
What boggles me is the sheer volume of people who used to play Helldivers, but gave up on it after too many nerfs....and then they tuned out and are *completely* unaware of the changes and reverts and buffdiver ultimatum. I have had to swear to many people I partied with in Space Marine 2 that Helldivers is fixed and not the same game they walked away from in anger and disappointment. I think Arrowhead might want to invest in a redemption marketing campaign because too many people who loved the game think it sucks now, and are unaware that the players finally got through to the devs that bean counters don't kill the enemies of democracy, well-armed helldivers do.
Most people aren't watching YT videos about helldivers. Heck I stopped for a while because the game became unfun and several creators had so much click bait I had to start hitting don't recommend channel. If the game gets unfun people move on
look, the nerfs understandably hurt the game. I still had fun and never left, but I can see why it was frustrating for others. The constant ignoring of the community's voice after the PSN/country banning debacle? It was a very bad look. I would agree they should make a push with an exciting new update to reflect all of the changes and promise something truly new to hook people back. Also let Xbox play
In the Navy, a bunch of us on the boat play as a squad. We were wondering the viability of having a pair of missions that are co dependent on each other. Two separate missions, two separate squads, but the objectives of one affect the other. For example, squad A drops into an Evacuate High Value Assets (the gate defense mission), the other into a map with power generators and artillery posts (Assuming bots). Squad A has to hold the base until squad B turns on all the power. Once the power is on, squad a can start evacuation, but in addition to the waves of bots they have to deal with artillery fire now from the other map. Other squad has to clear out artillery so squad A can focus on just holding back the bots without arty shells raining down on them. As more arty positions are cleared on the other map, the evac rockets launch faster, or slower if the other squad is struggling. Pelican 1 comes for evac on both maps once all high value assets are away Rewards could be based on how successful both missions are in the end. Idk just a rough idea. Just think missions were what you do directly helps another squad and vice versa
Reminds ya kinda of the old gear so war days! Marcus had to run through one part while dom has to hold out/vice versa until both meet up and face a boss at the end! Would love to see raid missions with up to 10 divers!
would love to play something like that, but too tactical-organized for Helldivers 2 IMHO, atm chaos reigns supreme on HD2 battlefield (if you are lucky you'll find one or two divers that use tactics then that one diver joins and brings chaos to the run)
I thought the same. I actually thought that this was going to be how they reintroduced the Illuminate through some sort of sneak attack invasion because the Automatons and Termanids were not in any kind of threatening position.
@@kaijuultimax9407 Yea that’s true, I do hope they add clips for if you deplete the ammo fully like with the Senator and also make it heavy pen, but it’s all wishes
@@ZZZano718 The Constitution is awesome. Very outdated for the type of combat but sooo much fun to use. I would not mind if it had a clip speed loader but if i never receive that or even heavy armor penetration i would not be upset. I just enjoy it so much.
It needs like 400 damage and heavy at least. I played with it on level 3 to test and it was unusable. It's funny as a joke weapon but it would be cool to see a good version of it with a speed loader
@@Jim26D I literally completed several lvl 7 terminid missions with 2 randoms all using this gun. It's playable as long as you have ways to deal with heavy enemies and are good at running. It also got I think the best melee damage out of any weapon, the bayonet is fun to use ngl. Sure, it's bad and I agree that having a speed loader, 300 dmg and lvl.4 AP would make this gun not a troll weapon.
@@Vespyr_bro it's a meme gun from ww1 that yall wony heavy pen on I see why some yt argue heavy pen was a bad idea because some of you ur just slow remind you again it's a meme gun from the first war
I don't think they're simply allergic to it, I think they hate money @jorgeencrnacion. First, they impose the PSN requirement on HD2, nearly kill the game. Then, they don't learn and do the same thing to GoWR and several other games. They still haven't given us a Bloodborne remaster/remake/PC release. Oh, and their merch game for HD2 is so LAME! (see my HUGE comment in the main thread for my thoughts on that).
I don't know how you people can't understand that those countries that don't allow PSN access would barely account for many copies bought in the first place. Some of those countries are in Africa and other extreme third world areas and most people don't even have access to the internet let alone a system able to run the game. It's a non-issue for Sony and Arrowhead everyone needs to just forget about it because those countries are never going to have access to the game
@@Carnefice At launch…there was 450k+ players. Minus those countries we lost a good 3/4 of our forces. Steam and PlayStation don’t share statistics and player counts do they? (Legit question I’m posing or you, because I am unsure) In PlayStation, the most I’ve seen since the cut off was maybe 40k-57k these days. We struggle to hold territory on both fronts. We can’t even push the bots back to Cyberstan. We wiped them from the map. And now…struggling to struggle on the galactic map.
The game is currently in the best state it could be and the numbers yesterday prove that, so no I do not care if the game is "too easy" because live service multiplayer games require numbers to survive. I'm not opposed to the game being challenging and I do want the higher difficulties to be hard compared to the lower ones, but people saying they need to revert the changes from the buff divers patches are wrong.
Agreed. Hard mode players (like myself) need to remember they're the outliers and the only way to get more hard mode players is by making it easy to pick up the game, but hard to put down.
The way I see it when the game was nerfed into obilvion I stuck around and never died at max difficulty. However, there was no real spark I enjoyed the loop but it was missing that crazyness from launch, had to play it safe to succeed. Now me and my buddies play together again we die a lot, we do stupid shit a lot, take crazy loadouts and blow everything up.Does it feel easier? maybe, but we keep coming back cuz it is insanely fun again. AH had to embrace the chaos and sheer fun of the game, the over the top explosions the hillarious TKs, they created the best chaos simulator in the market not a milsim and I am so so glad they embraced it. It's freaking awesome.
@@Nichrysalis What I don't understand is how is making more if our armory viable to use for the average person a bad thing. I'll accept going ten rounds in the ring about things like changing armor values and health pools, but being upset about the Dagger being useful outside of popping jetpack bots just screams "I'm upset there's more choices thus my loadout isn't the meta anymore." to me. Not directed at you, just making the comment in general as a reply to you.
@@Nichrysalis what is your prefferd difficulty? Mine is 8 ocasinaly drop down to 7 or Go to 9 If i coud find a good cooperativ nice Team to Play with i woud totaly be Up for difficulty 10
Recently I introduced 3 new soldiers to the frontline. They were complaining that lvl3 is way too easy and they have nothing to do. So I took them to lvl8, not even 10, and they were in horror. I agree lvl10 feels a bit easy sometimes, but often it’s because of our experience in game
I've been told Team Fortress 2 is a botted mess. I played it on the Orange Box on Xbox and loved it but haven't owned a pc I could have Steam and TF2 on until about two years ago, and now I wonder if it's even playable or if I'd get into it too late
@@shadowpathfinder7723 oh about a month or 2 back valve did a ban wave and now casual is playable again I personally haven’t seen a single bot for a long time
I remember when I first played Helldivers 2 I saw the beam of light on the ground and ran under it wondering what it was? 🤔 A few seconds later I figured out that was a bad idea 🤣
@@mynickisalreadytaken I initially started playing it on PS5 but after a certain point it got stuck on me and I couldn’t progress any further so I wound up skipping it jumping straight into the fight for democracy! 🤣
@@harleygrady5054 I dunno…sometimes I feel like hitting the ground rolling and struggling is more fun. Plus, learning on the fly makes it that much more interesting and…frankly, hilarious. Definitely have fond memories
What those numbers don't tell you is that there are a lot of new players. I've been in games with noobs all week long its kind of fun to see fresh divers joining in after all this time.
Well, 5 new players are in and loving it thanks to me😂😂😂 I actually paid for someone the game for a friend I just made over discord in another game. He loves the game so much that he did other of his 2 friends to get in the game😅😅. Those 2 enlisted another 2 in aswell😂😂😂 Now we are in total 2 full teams with my other 2 old friends in game playing all together in 2 separate channels This is the managed democracy!☄️☄️☄️☄️
I played with a bunch of Players that all Ranged from 15- 30 and man its fun i dont feel Like Shit when i Go full Samples Goblin anymore (i do Not engage in killing fellow divers but i still so scouer the map and always Look for them and try to extract with them its still ingraind in me from the super Destroyer Upgrade Grind) since high Level Players usualy are Not in need for them and i dont need them anymore either
Remove the Region Locking... I have Helldivers 2 in wishlist but clicking on it says its not available yet... THIS PH DIVER WANTS TO SPREAD DEMOCRACY ALREADY!
They are never going to do that, they want people to sign up to psn to fluff the numbers and make investors think that playstation isnt dogshit waste of money. They've doubled even tripled down since HD2 backfire. God of War and Ghosts of Tsushima, both single player games now require PSN because they want to take over the pc market and convert them into playstation users. You will never be able to play these games without a work around. Sony either 1) Doesn't think your country is good enough to have PSN or 2) your country is actually trying to protect you from Sonys greedy tactics and the laws won't allow them to make absurd profit and abuse you.
It makes me so happy this game turned around the way it did! Especially since this just doesn't happen for most games these days, as most devs (especially AAA), are so arrogant when it comes to their design philosophy and player communities. It's great to see!
Returned Yesterday for the Liberty day Celebration with high hopes. Hell, I'm back! I love the current state of the game. Immediately bought a copy for my son, now we dive together!
Bro theres still almost 70k on a Sunday evening/night after having over 100k yesterday. Its kinda amazing to see the community come together to celebrate liberty day. Not to mention they pulled numbers like that during BO6 launch weekend
Saying the player count went up for the new gun/armour/helmet and Liberty Day is missing the point, entirely. It is like saying everyone is swimming in a newly renovated community pool, (the first weekend after it reopened) because they added a free beach ball, water-wings, and floaty noodle, and NOT because they added a massive water slide and made the pool into a wave pool.
I get the developers wanting to stick to their original vision, especially considering how often projects get ripped away from developers over small things, but there comes a point where you have to set your ego aside and accept that maybe your original vision just wasn't all that fun. I feel like Arrowhead got way too attached to the "grunt" fantasy that they forgot this is still a game where you're supposed to have fun.
The Constitution is awesome. Very outdated for this type of combat but sooo much fun to use. I would not mind if it had a clip speed loader but if i never receive that or even heavy armor penetration i would not be upset. I just enjoy it so much.
Expanding Helldivers 2 progression with deeper weapon upgrades, customizable ship modules, and upgradeable stratagems would make the game way more engaging! Imagine unique weapon mods, like explosive rounds, or team-based ship upgrades for extra health regen or faster travel. Stratagem upgrades could boost effectiveness, with rewards for team milestones or achievements. These additions would give players real reasons to grind and make every mission feel more rewarding!
My 1 gripe with liberty day, was that it was only on the 24 hour period of one time zone, by the time I was able to hop on on the 26th of my time zone, the event was over and I didn't get to participate.....
I have over 900 hrs LVL 150 MAXED OUT EVERYTHING I OWN THE ALL WARBONDS...yet I continue to log in and play like I'm LVL 1...I ❤ this game...I NEVER LEFT.... I'm a disabled army veteran I DON'T GIVE UP THAT EASY....umma steal a line from the Usos' "DAY ☝🏾 ISH" 🎯🎯🎯🎯💯
Wonder if they’ll ever mix planetary environments like a Phact Bay mixed a Matar Bay, large darker plateau-like rock formations maybe with tree growing out of them (like Phact) with grassier combat areas(like Matar) would be a nice little shakeup. Just a mishmash of some planetary environments.
Federation Day is, and always has been, player driven. The devs are forced to rise to the enthusiasm of its audience. This is such a good indication of the communities willingness to care.
Ever since liberty day, my loadout has consisted of the constitution, the revolver, the default grenade, the stalwart, the jump pack, eagle airstrike and 500 kg. It brings me back to the good old Battlefield 1 days
Kinda stupid to expect something with no evidence that it'll happen. Kinda like thinking your dad will come back on father's day after he left for milk and cigarettes 14 years ago
@@2wheelmacAH hyping up the event as Super Earth biggest holiday. I would say expecting something over nothing is not unreasonable. I don't get the people who keep defending this mediocrity. Was looking forward to this weekend. I'm pissed off right now.
@@Hydallion Alright I've read like 6 of your comments by now and it's very clear you missed the point of Liberty Day entirely. In lore it's a HOLIDAY. You know what those are for people with jobs right? a Day where typically, YOU DON'T GO TO WORK (unless you work in essential services)! People had fun because they immersed themselves in the game world and lore. It's fun for some people to do that. The rewards weren't meant to be good, they're meant to be immersion for people who enjoy that. A throwback to Helldivers 1, and the rifle particularly being a throwback in that game in the first place.
@@LeifreonI think you missed the point that HD2 is a VIDEOGAME. I don't the time to log in to play HD2 to do nothing. Greatest celebration of Super Earth. What a joke. We paid for this and they played us, making us excited over nothing. I'm tired of them doing this. Masters of drumming up excitement where none is to be found.
My top frustrations with Sony concerning Helldivers 2: 1. The fact that there are 170 countries that are excluded from buying the game STILL. 2. The fact that they have such lame merch for HD2. Give us action figures! A full playset with Helldivers that can fire weapons, a Pelican1 that fires weapons and can fit the Helldivers action figures. Bile titans and bile spewers that can spew water or a special goo. Hunters that can jump. PLUSHIES. Full armor sets to buy (you KNOW there would be more than a few people that buy that!). The list goes ON AND ON. Heck, GIVE US ACTUAL LIBERTEA THAT WE CAN BUY! That would FLY off the shelves. But no. We get lame hoodies with the logo on, a mug or two, and a flag. I brought this up in the discord and Twinbeard said AH has ZERO control over merch, Sony owns the IP and it's up to them. So come on Sony! Get your heads out of your a$$e$ and actually do something with this IP!
Play what? There was nothing going in the game. It was same old if you play now there will be no difference from if you had played when liberty day was happening.
i went into the game yesterday after "ages" and went back in today to test the bolt action rifle in a horde shooter and like expected it is traaaaash. it needs a clip reload when empty and 250-300 dmg. the meele also needs better range :D i think they made this weapon before all the buffs xD (i dont care for the lore of the weapon. the description cant tell us why its bad and be unuseble in the game)
i worry that this "but the constitution is SUPPOSED to be bad" attitude is sending us right back down the pre-nerf-slope that we have had to constantly fight AH off we have gone through multiple times already. EVERY miss-step right now is magnified because it's one thing to force a temporary behavior change but AH has shown itself to be very much capable of driving the game into the ground to the point you are actively prevented from playing the game due to unlimited-ragdoll-works, chain-barrage headshot-leaps/rockets/artillery/bile/smoke-machines/player-tracking-fire-tornadoes and many other nonsense non-interactions and yet the ONLY IN-GAME feature of liberty day was a throwback armour set and a garbage weapon, no fireworks, no music, no fanfare, just a 1-day MO with near-zero interaction then "here take this old junk we found" following a dub-par gas-warbond and the pre-nerfed fire-warbond and yes the buff-divers patches but those were forced behaviours rather than the devs deciding for themselves it was time to change tack. i hope it holds steady but i'm fresh out of trust. if the classic DP-00 armour had been LIGHT i'd have probably tried it out but i'm still locked-in on the anti-explosive scout armour i have been using since launch, viper-commando was the only armour that got me out of it for more than a few runs and that armour was horribly broken for weeks after it was introduced (the main feature, the better handling didn't work).
My only disappointment is that the armor set is medium armor. I was so, so hoping it would be a set of Democracy Protects light armor, spreading the passive to an armor tier that doesn’t have it.
I used the Constitution during play. It does respectable melee damage with the bayonet, so running out of shots didn't leave you helpless. You can load it shell by shell too so you can run and fire at a nice pace if need be. I can see myself doing Constitution runs as a challenge.
(To make an actual comment) I’m hoping when we get clans or some system like that and if the space station is a hub for helldivers I cannot wait to see how the community comes together to make their own objectives and ideas in a sort of roleplay perspective. Also Seaf trooper deployments when??
The only reason I can see them not add in the illuminate in during the celebration is the same reason that it became the 63 day plan, not the 60 day plan: because the celebration took place during the weekend, so they didn’t want to accidentally break the game when most people were playing. The illuminate will probably invade on like, Wednesday.
Fun-fact about the Constitution in game: It's stats are Pre-Buffdivers, it was Datamined in Ye-Olden-Days and had the same stats then as it did now. Meaning it was designed to be stronger per shot than BOTH Diligence rifles.
For whomever it concerns, the Constitution rifle deals 220% melee damage with the bayonet. There is a huge argument over whether or not it's imagined but as far as I can tell the people saying it doesn't do bonus melee damage used it once and decided it was a placebo while the people saying it does bonus damage have actually tested it. The argument is probably because they can't datamine or crack the files yet and some people think it has a lunge effect but I can't tell whether there is consensus on that
Giving everyone some free armor and a new gun was a nice piece. I do think the Constitution desperately needs a buff to make it more than a fun novelty.
IMO jury is still out, people are back because the game is currently fun again, but will it STAY fun? no clue and that not knowing is making me hesitant. The constitution was a piece of abject garbage when a few simple things could have made it something to pay attention to (LONG bayonet, copy senator ammo, alt-fire with a single reload being OG eruptor round instead of the usual bullets), the gas-overhaul was garbage (no point trading something that can do damage for a "soft CC" when all the cooldowns are basically identical to a kill/boom ability), the inherent engine-design-issues with not being able to spawn 100+ enemies at range to march in as a swarm, instead constantly teleporting ~25 at a time within 25-50 meters in flanking positions off-camera until the reinforcements dump enemies onto a single point on the map often on top of you. "Ceremonial" doesn't have to mean "terrible", WW2 era/style rifles (their ammo even moreso) were maintained as HIGH impact weapons by many nations long past the advent of their much handier assault-rifle and SMG counterparts as being able to reach out 1000 yards and still deal meaningful damage is something that may become less-needed but it sure is handy to have on occasion. The devs MAY simply be too locked-into their low-player-power mindset beyond the forced "buff-divers" behaviour of dropping to 2% playerbase within 6 months due to constant nerfs and repeating appearance of connection/crash/disconnect issues. I really hope that's not the case but there's a reason i haven't touched my negative review since the SOnY debacle. plus AH have SUCKED at recent armour-passives, specific damage-type reductions with zero additional active/aggressive components are the laziest thing in the world to do, plus they dropped gas damage to next to nothing so being able to divide eff-all by 5 is hardly a feature worth considering you would have to attack-yourself to even make ANY use of the anti-gas passive and hulks still melt helldivers when wearing the anti-fire gear, as to the anti-tesla same deal, only useful if a team-mate is bad at using the arcgun or you try to hug a SPECIFIC player-turret. imagine if it had also increased the burn/gas/stun linger timers by 2-4 seconds as well (stickier concoctions), that at least would be worth considering.
For where it used to be at with 150k-350k players annually through week/weekends before the region shut down HD2 definitely has som mojo back. When they drop a vehicle it definitely has it all
I've always wondered, "If the Illuminate use some sorta warp travel like us, what's to stop them making a deep strike into the Sol System to try n take Super Earth?" I always thought it'd be a really badass flex from the devs, if they had a faction directly attack Super Earth just to show doubters that, yes, they do have the Super Earth maps, and they are not afraid to use them.
I love the free stuff, however I would love if the new rifle was a viable option. Even giving it heavy armor pen or something would be a super cool addition that could actually make it shine when compared to the other marksman rifles and even the eruptor.
I was playing with some randoms (who were also using the riffle) on a bot defense mission. I think one other dude did a bayonet charge towards the pelican, so that was fun. I kinda want to see how well a bayonet charge would work at difficulty 5 against a small bot patrol.
I’m kinda annoyed that they didn’t put a time zone on the liberty day events and as none of my friend group knew that they operated in CET all of the liberty day events where missed by us as they happened at about 4:00 AM. The time zone stamp would have been appreciated 😑
Man, you didn't miss anything. Nothing happened. All of this is smoke and mirrors. The event was just "do whatever you like" and there was nothing different in the game. Fucking Lame.
@@LordVader69420 I still would have liked to hop in with my fellow helldivers and participate in the liberty day spirit. But by the time I was home there was only 30 minutes left
Rip to the 100+ countries that still can't play. Hope we can get everyone back again, because this truly would have been a monumental moment in gaming! At least they're back! Servers haven't been crashing as hard for various of reasons even when theres multiple ordinances on the field,etc. Hope they allow modders to help support them as well like gta 6!
I know that the Constitution is supposed to be kind of a meme weapon, but I genuinely enjoy using it. The single round reload means that I have to make every shot count, and the 99 ammo count means that I have yet to run the gun dry. The bayonet is just an added bonus. The gun is great for bug chaff and great on bots if you can land those headshots. Hope everyone had a great Liberty Day!
It’d be cool to see individual passives or armor/weapon skill trees. I’d be more inclined to use different armor sets and weapons. In between Warbonds we hold max currencies with nothing to do with it. Let me grind for bonuses. Light armor: Jetpack cooldown, sprint and fire SMG’s, extra magazines. Heavy armor: faster LMG reloads, extra LMG magazines, plus 1 explosives. Weapons: sights, reload speeds, handling bonuses, recoil control, magazine/ammo types.
Whats sad tho is that we broke 103,000 divers in a long time. Just to have them only on for like 10mins for the event then went back offline. Numbers dropped from 103k to 80k. Then back down to its regular nunbers of 50k-60k. We need to converge onto a few select plnets like Menkent, Vog-sohoth, and Matar-bay this will make Andromeda sector, the Hydra sector, and tanis much much easier to take. I dont understand why we are so spread out and on Aesir pass when we know how supply line work at this point. Take out these three planets and we will be able to take out the sectors in no time.
I've never been much of a live service gamer. Played Star Wars Squadrons for a while, but not for super long. This game looked really fun, so I tried it, but expected to only be playing it when friends might be online, or something. Little did I know, this game was about to become my main game. I started playing post nerfs, so I didn't know any better, so I still enjoyed it, despite the nerfs. However, now that they've buffed the crap out of everything again, it is soooo much better and so much more fun. I really, really wasn't expecting all this when I first bought the game. Thank you Arrowhead for making this masterpiece, and thanks to incredible Helldivers 2 community as well!!
I’m a bolt action enjoyer, but I have to say that when I used the constitution I was little bit disappointed with the effectiveness. Yeah it probably isn’t supposed to be good, but I couldn’t help but feel unsatisfied with not being able to one shot the heads of the Alfa commanders. However don’t get me wrong the weapon is still fun to use on the bot front. Being able to use the bayonet is really fun to just charge in like a WW1 soldier
I'd love to be able to display my favorite weapons and stratagems in my Aegis of Wrath. It would be fun to visit other people too and see what they have dignified with a place on their weapon rack. Couple it with a requirement to have actually used the weapon somehow; overload ten ice for the scythe maybe. That kind of thing.
I honestly thought the "hold super earth" MO would be a sign of a surprise, and an automaton fleet would push towards super earth posing an actual risk
The "new" constitution weapon is cool, but I really want to be able to use it and still provide some support for my team. It should at least be good to the extent that you can make a 300 yo rifle by adding a stripper clip and some more damage. I don't want to be able to one shot alpha commanders and devestators, but I at least want some more stagger on them when I have to unjam my thumb when the bolt closes a little too soon
I actually really love the riffle, and it’s pretty effective at difficultly 5. At 7, which is what I play a lot of, you do have to be a lot more skillful and learn the curves of the weapon, but if you use iron sights most of the time, you should be fine. Meleeing is incredibly fun and until we get a true combat knife, it will be my go to for stealth tactics, historical loadouts, and my favorite, trench diving. I also play against the bots 95% of the time, so I don’t know what it’s like to use it against the bugs.
I know the Constitution isn't meant to be good. I just think that it should be. Instead of a bolt action I think if they gave us something modeled after the M1 Garand it would have been way cooler. Heavy Armor pen, enblock clips, the ping sound and of course we have to keep the bayonet
@@periwinkle2486 I've used to use it to clear the small outpost/poi in one go, it did that previously, now it leaves enemies standing. At first I though maybe I just placed it wrong, but now every time I use it, it leaves some enemies standing when it used to clean everything.
I use an R-2124 Constitution for Home Defense, as the Founding Fathers intended. 4 bots break into my base "Sweet Liberty!" I grab my R-2124 and Helldiver Cape Blow a golf ball size hole in the first Automaton, he's dead on the spot Equip my EAT for the second bot, miss him entirely because I stepped on a landmine, nailing the nearby Factory Strider. I have to resort to the previously placed HMG Emplacement at the top of the stairs loaded halfway. "SAY HELLO TO DEMOCRACY!" The Emplacement guns down two bots in the barrage, a stray bullet setting off a nearby Hellbomb. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified Scrapheap He's deactivated before he's able to set off a Bot Drop flare because Peak Physique and the bayonet attacks are impossible to survive a hit from. *sips Liber-Tea Just as the Founding Fathers intended
5:05 speaking of the wormhole, some people are saying the meridia black hole is making strange new noises or is getting louder and more aggressive. Could be hinting at something maybe?
I wasn’t able to play but I sure got on to celebrate take a few screenshots. People love this game so much. They need to focus on progression. Something to grind for.
I still don't think the illuminate are going to come in through that black hole. It's a red herring. Remember the bots counter attack months ago came from outside the galaxy. There's something going on out there.
The only thing i wish was that the new rifle would utilize a stripper clip reload from 0 to 5 rounds. Not really for a stat buff but more an animation buff because that would look and sound cool.

@LtBuzzLitebeer this game doesn't get dlcs it's all just updates.
@@LtBuzzLitebeer servers will be max capacity and the illuminate will break the internet. This is truly one of the best games in my lifetime as a gamer (39 years). Glad I get to be apart of this experience and the amazing Helldiver 2 community. Keep up the good work!
@@1985Seraphim 🙏
I'd definitely support more MOs with armour cosmetic rewards or even weapons as getting medals is too easy especially with their low 250 cap
This "event" was just sad. Wasn't expecting much, but at least something. There was nothing going on. I don't want to log into HD2 to "take a break from the war", I want something to fucking happen.
103k player only for a (celebration) now imagine a new REAL major update with the DSS and illuminates
Only for a celebration? You are reported for heresy
@robypigus6820 I've just got back from the reeducation camp😭🙏
@@robypigus6820your report has been cataloged. A democracy officer is on their way to your location.
Cant wait
Ik right, remember that war bond is coming out Thursday, I think we might break 100,000 on Steam
What boggles me is the sheer volume of people who used to play Helldivers, but gave up on it after too many nerfs....and then they tuned out and are *completely* unaware of the changes and reverts and buffdiver ultimatum. I have had to swear to many people I partied with in Space Marine 2 that Helldivers is fixed and not the same game they walked away from in anger and disappointment.
I think Arrowhead might want to invest in a redemption marketing campaign because too many people who loved the game think it sucks now, and are unaware that the players finally got through to the devs that bean counters don't kill the enemies of democracy, well-armed helldivers do.
Most people aren't watching YT videos about helldivers.
Heck I stopped for a while because the game became unfun and several creators had so much click bait I had to start hitting don't recommend channel.
If the game gets unfun people move on
you need to understand not everyone hangs around watching youtube videos let alone are terminally online
@@MichaelVash7886yup. Game is fun now. But more content is needed now after the buffs.
look, the nerfs understandably hurt the game. I still had fun and never left, but I can see why it was frustrating for others. The constant ignoring of the community's voice after the PSN/country banning debacle? It was a very bad look.
I would agree they should make a push with an exciting new update to reflect all of the changes and promise something truly new to hook people back.
Also let Xbox play
They already got the $40 a pop from those people. Doesnt much matter if they come back or not
In the Navy, a bunch of us on the boat play as a squad. We were wondering the viability of having a pair of missions that are co dependent on each other. Two separate missions, two separate squads, but the objectives of one affect the other. For example, squad A drops into an Evacuate High Value Assets (the gate defense mission), the other into a map with power generators and artillery posts (Assuming bots). Squad A has to hold the base until squad B turns on all the power. Once the power is on, squad a can start evacuation, but in addition to the waves of bots they have to deal with artillery fire now from the other map. Other squad has to clear out artillery so squad A can focus on just holding back the bots without arty shells raining down on them. As more arty positions are cleared on the other map, the evac rockets launch faster, or slower if the other squad is struggling. Pelican 1 comes for evac on both maps once all high value assets are away
Rewards could be based on how successful both missions are in the end.
Idk just a rough idea. Just think missions were what you do directly helps another squad and vice versa
really cool idea but aside the technical challenge, you also have to consider players leaving and how frustrating it would be for the host.
Nah I wanna play every mission bro lol why would I want a mission in my operation to just be done by someone else and I never get to play it?
Reminds ya kinda of the old gear so war days! Marcus had to run through one part while dom has to hold out/vice versa until both meet up and face a boss at the end!
Would love to see raid missions with up to 10 divers!
would love to play something like that, but too tactical-organized for Helldivers 2 IMHO, atm chaos reigns supreme on HD2 battlefield (if you are lucky you'll find one or two divers that use tactics then that one diver joins and brings chaos to the run)
@@__-fi6xg My answer to this is my personal friends and we squad up. We already do as it is.
When i first saw the major order "hold super earth" i really thought the bots bugs or squids where going to attack super earth
Could be the calm before the storm
I thought the same. I actually thought that this was going to be how they reintroduced the Illuminate through some sort of sneak attack invasion because the Automatons and Termanids were not in any kind of threatening position.
Never gonna happen
I hope Helldivers 2 continues to get more popular as time goes on
The rifle isn’t great, it’s not meant to be BUT the bayonet is AWESOME
The Senator wasn't great at launch either but things change, y'know?
@@kaijuultimax9407 Yea that’s true, I do hope they add clips for if you deplete the ammo fully like with the Senator and also make it heavy pen, but it’s all wishes
tbh I actually like it just wish there was a clip reload when the mag as fully empty like the senator
@@ZZZano718 The Constitution is awesome. Very outdated for the type of combat but sooo much fun to use. I would not mind if it had a clip speed loader but if i never receive that or even heavy armor penetration i would not be upset. I just enjoy it so much.
I love the fact it has 99 ammo
If the rifle had an empty fast reload it would be way better.
It needs like 400 damage and heavy at least. I played with it on level 3 to test and it was unusable. It's funny as a joke weapon but it would be cool to see a good version of it with a speed loader
@@Jim26D I literally completed several lvl 7 terminid missions with 2 randoms all using this gun. It's playable as long as you have ways to deal with heavy enemies and are good at running. It also got I think the best melee damage out of any weapon, the bayonet is fun to use ngl.
Sure, it's bad and I agree that having a speed loader, 300 dmg and lvl.4 AP would make this gun not a troll weapon.
Old world Arrowhead design. They don't want the weapon to be good.
yea exactly, it’s a meme pick
@@Vespyr_bro it's a meme gun from ww1 that yall wony heavy pen on I see why some yt argue heavy pen was a bad idea because some of you ur just slow remind you again it's a meme gun from the first war
Sony still losing money over ego is crazy. The world is trying to unite over Helldivers and Sony just won't have it.
It seems they're allergic to money and influence...
You’d think logic would’ve been a better choice
I don't think they're simply allergic to it, I think they hate money @jorgeencrnacion. First, they impose the PSN requirement on HD2, nearly kill the game. Then, they don't learn and do the same thing to GoWR and several other games. They still haven't given us a Bloodborne remaster/remake/PC release. Oh, and their merch game for HD2 is so LAME! (see my HUGE comment in the main thread for my thoughts on that).
I don't know how you people can't understand that those countries that don't allow PSN access would barely account for many copies bought in the first place. Some of those countries are in Africa and other extreme third world areas and most people don't even have access to the internet let alone a system able to run the game. It's a non-issue for Sony and Arrowhead everyone needs to just forget about it because those countries are never going to have access to the game
@@Carnefice At launch…there was 450k+ players. Minus those countries we lost a good 3/4 of our forces. Steam and PlayStation don’t share statistics and player counts do they? (Legit question I’m posing or you, because I am unsure) In PlayStation, the most I’ve seen since the cut off was maybe 40k-57k these days. We struggle to hold territory on both fronts. We can’t even push the bots back to Cyberstan. We wiped them from the map. And now…struggling to struggle on the galactic map.
The game is currently in the best state it could be and the numbers yesterday prove that, so no I do not care if the game is "too easy" because live service multiplayer games require numbers to survive. I'm not opposed to the game being challenging and I do want the higher difficulties to be hard compared to the lower ones, but people saying they need to revert the changes from the buff divers patches are wrong.
Agreed. Hard mode players (like myself) need to remember they're the outliers and the only way to get more hard mode players is by making it easy to pick up the game, but hard to put down.
The way I see it when the game was nerfed into obilvion I stuck around and never died at max difficulty. However, there was no real spark I enjoyed the loop but it was missing that crazyness from launch, had to play it safe to succeed. Now me and my buddies play together again we die a lot, we do stupid shit a lot, take crazy loadouts and blow everything up.Does it feel easier? maybe, but we keep coming back cuz it is insanely fun again. AH had to embrace the chaos and sheer fun of the game, the over the top explosions the hillarious TKs, they created the best chaos simulator in the market not a milsim and I am so so glad they embraced it. It's freaking awesome.
@@Nichrysalis What I don't understand is how is making more if our armory viable to use for the average person a bad thing. I'll accept going ten rounds in the ring about things like changing armor values and health pools, but being upset about the Dagger being useful outside of popping jetpack bots just screams "I'm upset there's more choices thus my loadout isn't the meta anymore." to me. Not directed at you, just making the comment in general as a reply to you.
@@Nichrysalis what is your prefferd difficulty? Mine is 8 ocasinaly drop down to 7 or Go to 9 If i coud find a good cooperativ nice Team to Play with i woud totaly be Up for difficulty 10
Recently I introduced 3 new soldiers to the frontline. They were complaining that lvl3 is way too easy and they have nothing to do. So I took them to lvl8, not even 10, and they were in horror. I agree lvl10 feels a bit easy sometimes, but often it’s because of our experience in game
None of this means anything until the legions on Divers can re-join the fight from every corner of Super Earth.
Glad Johan was able to come back from vacation on time before Alexus and his ilk were able to destroy the game.
to pull similar numbers as Team Fortress 2 is golden. I pray that Helldivers 2 lives as long as that timeless classic.
I've been told Team Fortress 2 is a botted mess. I played it on the Orange Box on Xbox and loved it but haven't owned a pc I could have Steam and TF2 on until about two years ago, and now I wonder if it's even playable or if I'd get into it too late
@@shadowpathfinder7723 oh about a month or 2 back valve did a ban wave and now casual is playable again
I personally haven’t seen a single bot for a long time
I remember when I first played Helldivers 2 I saw the beam of light on the ground and ran under it wondering what it was? 🤔 A few seconds later I figured out that was a bad idea 🤣
You have to play the tutorial in order to play the and learn what this is. There are no suprises on what Strategems are.
@@mynickisalreadytaken I initially started playing it on PS5 but after a certain point it got stuck on me and I couldn’t progress any further so I wound up skipping it jumping straight into the fight for democracy! 🤣
@@harleygrady5054 I dunno…sometimes I feel like hitting the ground rolling and struggling is more fun. Plus, learning on the fly makes it that much more interesting and…frankly, hilarious. Definitely have fond memories
What those numbers don't tell you is that there are a lot of new players. I've been in games with noobs all week long its kind of fun to see fresh divers joining in after all this time.
Its so peak. Got an whole random under lvl 30 squad. That was pretty cool man
Well, 5 new players are in and loving it thanks to me😂😂😂
I actually paid for someone the game for a friend I just made over discord in another game. He loves the game so much that he did other of his 2 friends to get in the game😅😅. Those 2 enlisted another 2 in aswell😂😂😂
Now we are in total 2 full teams with my other 2 old friends in game playing all together in 2 separate channels
This is the managed democracy!☄️☄️☄️☄️
I played with a bunch of Players that all Ranged from 15- 30 and man its fun i dont feel Like Shit when i Go full Samples Goblin anymore (i do Not engage in killing fellow divers but i still so scouer the map and always Look for them and try to extract with them its still ingraind in me from the super Destroyer Upgrade Grind)
since high Level Players usualy are Not in need for them and i dont need them anymore either
It can be very frustrating tho haha
Meats back on the menu boys!!
Gotta add using a gas mask helmet to that bayonet only extraction for the full death Krieger experience
Remove the Region Locking... I have Helldivers 2 in wishlist but clicking on it says its not available yet... THIS PH DIVER WANTS TO SPREAD DEMOCRACY ALREADY!
Sony truly screwing the gamers with that region lock - it's kinda sad tbh, we want yall back
There are ways to get around it with vpn I can suggest some tutorials if you are interested
They are never going to do that, they want people to sign up to psn to fluff the numbers and make investors think that playstation isnt dogshit waste of money.
They've doubled even tripled down since HD2 backfire. God of War and Ghosts of Tsushima, both single player games now require PSN because they want to take over the pc market and convert them into playstation users.
You will never be able to play these games without a work around. Sony either 1) Doesn't think your country is good enough to have PSN or 2) your country is actually trying to protect you from Sonys greedy tactics and the laws won't allow them to make absurd profit and abuse you.
@funkey please do ❤️
@@funkey6737Pls do, we need more Helldivers in the front.
FOR DEMOCRACY!!!
Imagine Space Marine 2 devs were like this
LOL Moo Deng caught me so off guard 😂🤣
It makes me so happy this game turned around the way it did! Especially since this just doesn't happen for most games these days, as most devs (especially AAA), are so arrogant when it comes to their design philosophy and player communities. It's great to see!
Returned Yesterday for the Liberty day Celebration with high hopes. Hell, I'm back! I love the current state of the game. Immediately bought a copy for my son, now we dive together!
That is what this game is built for whish it had split screen tho, id get it on ps5 if it did
“Extended Swedish Holiday” sounds like a National Lampoon movie.
We don't think of them as "extended" though. "short" would be a better description.
They should definitely have a “number of dives count without deaths”
Bro theres still almost 70k on a Sunday evening/night after having over 100k yesterday. Its kinda amazing to see the community come together to celebrate liberty day. Not to mention they pulled numbers like that during BO6 launch weekend
Saying the player count went up for the new gun/armour/helmet and Liberty Day is missing the point, entirely. It is like saying everyone is swimming in a newly renovated community pool, (the first weekend after it reopened) because they added a free beach ball, water-wings, and floaty noodle, and NOT because they added a massive water slide and made the pool into a wave pool.
I get the developers wanting to stick to their original vision, especially considering how often projects get ripped away from developers over small things, but there comes a point where you have to set your ego aside and accept that maybe your original vision just wasn't all that fun. I feel like Arrowhead got way too attached to the "grunt" fantasy that they forgot this is still a game where you're supposed to have fun.
The Constitution is awesome. Very outdated for this type of combat but sooo much fun to use. I would not mind if it had a clip speed loader but if i never receive that or even heavy armor penetration i would not be upset. I just enjoy it so much.
Expanding Helldivers 2 progression with deeper weapon upgrades, customizable ship modules, and upgradeable stratagems would make the game way more engaging! Imagine unique weapon mods, like explosive rounds, or team-based ship upgrades for extra health regen or faster travel. Stratagem upgrades could boost effectiveness, with rewards for team milestones or achievements. These additions would give players real reasons to grind and make every mission feel more rewarding!
My 1 gripe with liberty day, was that it was only on the 24 hour period of one time zone, by the time I was able to hop on on the 26th of my time zone, the event was over and I didn't get to participate.....
You literally didn't miss anything...
Helmets need to have night vision and zoomable scope. This way, helmets can become more useful than just cosmetic look
WE ARE SOOOOO BAAAACKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only the p.c. players are apparently 🙄
I have over 900 hrs LVL 150 MAXED OUT EVERYTHING I OWN THE ALL WARBONDS...yet I continue to log in and play like I'm LVL 1...I ❤ this game...I NEVER LEFT.... I'm a disabled army veteran I DON'T GIVE UP THAT EASY....umma steal a line from the Usos' "DAY ☝🏾 ISH" 🎯🎯🎯🎯💯
We literally aren't
Back to sleep...
I still await for the day that ‘Democracy Protects’ passive is available on light and heavy armor.
Wonder if they’ll ever mix planetary environments like a Phact Bay mixed a Matar Bay, large darker plateau-like rock formations maybe with tree growing out of them (like Phact) with grassier combat areas(like Matar) would be a nice little shakeup. Just a mishmash of some planetary environments.
Glazing Helldivers 2 is back on the menu boys
Oh yeah, people are glazing the hell out of this "event". This celebration was just pathetic. My disappointment is so damn deep right now.
Give them time they will go back to nerfing the hell out of anything remotely useful, they just can't help themselves.
Federation Day is, and always has been, player driven. The devs are forced to rise to the enthusiasm of its audience. This is such a good indication of the communities willingness to care.
Fucking lazy. Don't create an event for your game if you're not going to do anything with it.
Ever since liberty day, my loadout has consisted of the constitution, the revolver, the default grenade, the stalwart, the jump pack, eagle airstrike and 500 kg. It brings me back to the good old Battlefield 1 days
@@Hydallion I know but still 😂
Ngl i was camping outside the wormhole the last hour of the order.
When they announced the warbond for next week, I had a feeling they weren't doing anything for Liberty Day. Another missed opportunity, I guess...
whenever I see a bile titan, I clench my ass in fear
Wow so cool. Too bad, the black screen and constant errors and crashes prevent me from playing for 6 months straight
People played the game expecting an actual event
This soured a lot of people
Kinda stupid to expect something with no evidence that it'll happen. Kinda like thinking your dad will come back on father's day after he left for milk and cigarettes 14 years ago
@@2wheelmacAH hyping up the event as Super Earth biggest holiday. I would say expecting something over nothing is not unreasonable. I don't get the people who keep defending this mediocrity. Was looking forward to this weekend. I'm pissed off right now.
@@Hydallion Try going for a walk dude it'll be okay.
@@Hydallion Alright I've read like 6 of your comments by now and it's very clear you missed the point of Liberty Day entirely. In lore it's a HOLIDAY. You know what those are for people with jobs right? a Day where typically, YOU DON'T GO TO WORK (unless you work in essential services)! People had fun because they immersed themselves in the game world and lore. It's fun for some people to do that. The rewards weren't meant to be good, they're meant to be immersion for people who enjoy that. A throwback to Helldivers 1, and the rifle particularly being a throwback in that game in the first place.
@@LeifreonI think you missed the point that HD2 is a VIDEOGAME. I don't the time to log in to play HD2 to do nothing. Greatest celebration of Super Earth. What a joke. We paid for this and they played us, making us excited over nothing. I'm tired of them doing this. Masters of drumming up excitement where none is to be found.
My top frustrations with Sony concerning Helldivers 2:
1. The fact that there are 170 countries that are excluded from buying the game STILL.
2. The fact that they have such lame merch for HD2. Give us action figures! A full playset with Helldivers that can fire weapons, a Pelican1 that fires weapons and can fit the Helldivers action figures. Bile titans and bile spewers that can spew water or a special goo. Hunters that can jump. PLUSHIES. Full armor sets to buy (you KNOW there would be more than a few people that buy that!). The list goes ON AND ON. Heck, GIVE US ACTUAL LIBERTEA THAT WE CAN BUY! That would FLY off the shelves. But no. We get lame hoodies with the logo on, a mug or two, and a flag. I brought this up in the discord and Twinbeard said AH has ZERO control over merch, Sony owns the IP and it's up to them. So come on Sony! Get your heads out of your a$$e$ and actually do something with this IP!
I didn’t realize.people still played this game.
I understand the rifle is ceremonial, but as the description implies every citizen gets one at 16, so should we not already have had the rifle??
Boy I sure wish it lasted until longer than 8pm EST so that I could, you know, play it.
Play what? There was nothing going in the game. It was same old if you play now there will be no difference from if you had played when liberty day was happening.
I missed it as well. And sine I already own the game. Does that mean I can't get the armor and gun?😢
Guys. Seriously, nothing happened, so you didn't miss anything att all. Gun and armor is given to all, no matter if you played or not.
Already can’t wait for next year
For what? Another day of nothing happening in game?
i went into the game yesterday after "ages" and went back in today to test the bolt action rifle in a horde shooter and like expected it is traaaaash. it needs a clip reload when empty and 250-300 dmg. the meele also needs better range :D
i think they made this weapon before all the buffs xD
(i dont care for the lore of the weapon. the description cant tell us why its bad and be unuseble in the game)
I didn't even dive. Logged in and got everything instantly.
i worry that this "but the constitution is SUPPOSED to be bad" attitude is sending us right back down the pre-nerf-slope that we have had to constantly fight AH off we have gone through multiple times already.
EVERY miss-step right now is magnified because it's one thing to force a temporary behavior change but AH has shown itself to be very much capable of driving the game into the ground to the point you are actively prevented from playing the game due to unlimited-ragdoll-works, chain-barrage headshot-leaps/rockets/artillery/bile/smoke-machines/player-tracking-fire-tornadoes and many other nonsense non-interactions and yet the ONLY IN-GAME feature of liberty day was a throwback armour set and a garbage weapon, no fireworks, no music, no fanfare, just a 1-day MO with near-zero interaction then "here take this old junk we found" following a dub-par gas-warbond and the pre-nerfed fire-warbond and yes the buff-divers patches but those were forced behaviours rather than the devs deciding for themselves it was time to change tack.
i hope it holds steady but i'm fresh out of trust.
if the classic DP-00 armour had been LIGHT i'd have probably tried it out but i'm still locked-in on the anti-explosive scout armour i have been using since launch, viper-commando was the only armour that got me out of it for more than a few runs and that armour was horribly broken for weeks after it was introduced (the main feature, the better handling didn't work).
The force is strong with this one...
7:12 watching you try to off this spewer was painful.
Swedish holiday should be canceled!!! Democracy and Liberty takes no vacations 😅
My only disappointment is that the armor set is medium armor. I was so, so hoping it would be a set of Democracy Protects light armor, spreading the passive to an armor tier that doesn’t have it.
I used the Constitution during play. It does respectable melee damage with the bayonet, so running out of shots didn't leave you helpless. You can load it shell by shell too so you can run and fire at a nice pace if need be. I can see myself doing Constitution runs as a challenge.
(To make an actual comment) I’m hoping when we get clans or some system like that and if the space station is a hub for helldivers I cannot wait to see how the community comes together to make their own objectives and ideas in a sort of roleplay perspective. Also Seaf trooper deployments when??
The only reason I can see them not add in the illuminate in during the celebration is the same reason that it became the 63 day plan, not the 60 day plan: because the celebration took place during the weekend, so they didn’t want to accidentally break the game when most people were playing.
The illuminate will probably invade on like, Wednesday.
Post 60 day plan Helldivers feels so good.
Freedom's Flame and Chemical Ops make fighting the bugs absolute wild fire insanity
Fun-fact about the Constitution in game: It's stats are Pre-Buffdivers, it was Datamined in Ye-Olden-Days and had the same stats then as it did now. Meaning it was designed to be stronger per shot than BOTH Diligence rifles.
Damn... here's hoping it gets buffed in line with the original intent after all the buffdivers patch.
For whomever it concerns, the Constitution rifle deals 220% melee damage with the bayonet. There is a huge argument over whether or not it's imagined but as far as I can tell the people saying it doesn't do bonus melee damage used it once and decided it was a placebo while the people saying it does bonus damage have actually tested it. The argument is probably because they can't datamine or crack the files yet and some people think it has a lunge effect but I can't tell whether there is consensus on that
Liberty Day. What a fucking joke of a celebration. Nothing happened.
Giving everyone some free armor and a new gun was a nice piece. I do think the Constitution desperately needs a buff to make it more than a fun novelty.
nice to have a feature to save few loadouts other than selecting every time before diving
A booster that lets all divers on the team regenerate health would go miles in creating even more aggressive gameplay
Strats not starts 😢😢 strats gone , it was my one shot and I blew it 😭😭 I'm heading to the democracy officer now , thanks for featuring buzz 😮
IMO jury is still out, people are back because the game is currently fun again, but will it STAY fun? no clue and that not knowing is making me hesitant.
The constitution was a piece of abject garbage when a few simple things could have made it something to pay attention to (LONG bayonet, copy senator ammo, alt-fire with a single reload being OG eruptor round instead of the usual bullets), the gas-overhaul was garbage (no point trading something that can do damage for a "soft CC" when all the cooldowns are basically identical to a kill/boom ability), the inherent engine-design-issues with not being able to spawn 100+ enemies at range to march in as a swarm, instead constantly teleporting ~25 at a time within 25-50 meters in flanking positions off-camera until the reinforcements dump enemies onto a single point on the map often on top of you.
"Ceremonial" doesn't have to mean "terrible", WW2 era/style rifles (their ammo even moreso) were maintained as HIGH impact weapons by many nations long past the advent of their much handier assault-rifle and SMG counterparts as being able to reach out 1000 yards and still deal meaningful damage is something that may become less-needed but it sure is handy to have on occasion.
The devs MAY simply be too locked-into their low-player-power mindset beyond the forced "buff-divers" behaviour of dropping to 2% playerbase within 6 months due to constant nerfs and repeating appearance of connection/crash/disconnect issues. I really hope that's not the case but there's a reason i haven't touched my negative review since the SOnY debacle.
plus AH have SUCKED at recent armour-passives, specific damage-type reductions with zero additional active/aggressive components are the laziest thing in the world to do, plus they dropped gas damage to next to nothing so being able to divide eff-all by 5 is hardly a feature worth considering you would have to attack-yourself to even make ANY use of the anti-gas passive and hulks still melt helldivers when wearing the anti-fire gear, as to the anti-tesla same deal, only useful if a team-mate is bad at using the arcgun or you try to hug a SPECIFIC player-turret.
imagine if it had also increased the burn/gas/stun linger timers by 2-4 seconds as well (stickier concoctions), that at least would be worth considering.
The force is strong with this one...
For where it used to be at with 150k-350k players annually through week/weekends before the region shut down HD2 definitely has som mojo back. When they drop a vehicle it definitely has it all
I've always wondered, "If the Illuminate use some sorta warp travel like us, what's to stop them making a deep strike into the Sol System to try n take Super Earth?" I always thought it'd be a really badass flex from the devs, if they had a faction directly attack Super Earth just to show doubters that, yes, they do have the Super Earth maps, and they are not afraid to use them.
*sees factory strider* me yelling to teammates: LOOK CARL! A FACTORY STRIDER! FIX BAYONETS!!!!
I love the free stuff, however I would love if the new rifle was a viable option. Even giving it heavy armor pen or something would be a super cool addition that could actually make it shine when compared to the other marksman rifles and even the eruptor.
I was playing with some randoms (who were also using the riffle) on a bot defense mission. I think one other dude did a bayonet charge towards the pelican, so that was fun. I kinda want to see how well a bayonet charge would work at difficulty 5 against a small bot patrol.
I’m kinda annoyed that they didn’t put a time zone on the liberty day events and as none of my friend group knew that they operated in CET all of the liberty day events where missed by us as they happened at about 4:00 AM. The time zone stamp would have been appreciated 😑
Man, you didn't miss anything. Nothing happened. All of this is smoke and mirrors. The event was just "do whatever you like" and there was nothing different in the game. Fucking Lame.
Literally, nothing happened anyway...
@@LordVader69420 I still would have liked to hop in with my fellow helldivers and participate in the liberty day spirit. But by the time I was home there was only 30 minutes left
Rip to the 100+ countries that still can't play. Hope we can get everyone back again, because this truly would have been a monumental moment in gaming!
At least they're back! Servers haven't been crashing as hard for various of reasons even when theres multiple ordinances on the field,etc.
Hope they allow modders to help support them as well like gta 6!
The Constitution rifle needs a slight sight rework and could use a touch more damage or a stripper clip (like a Mauser) for faster reloads when empty
I know that the Constitution is supposed to be kind of a meme weapon, but I genuinely enjoy using it. The single round reload means that I have to make every shot count, and the 99 ammo count means that I have yet to run the gun dry. The bayonet is just an added bonus. The gun is great for bug chaff and great on bots if you can land those headshots. Hope everyone had a great Liberty Day!
It’d be cool to see individual passives or armor/weapon skill trees. I’d be more inclined to use different armor sets and weapons. In between Warbonds we hold max currencies with nothing to do with it. Let me grind for bonuses.
Light armor: Jetpack cooldown, sprint and fire SMG’s, extra magazines.
Heavy armor: faster LMG reloads, extra LMG magazines, plus 1 explosives.
Weapons: sights, reload speeds, handling bonuses, recoil control, magazine/ammo types.
I did a WW1 build with the Constitution, Senator & the Flamethrower against the bugs. Not the best loadout, but fun as hell.
Whats sad tho is that we broke 103,000 divers in a long time. Just to have them only on for like 10mins for the event then went back offline. Numbers dropped from 103k to 80k. Then back down to its regular nunbers of 50k-60k. We need to converge onto a few select plnets like Menkent, Vog-sohoth, and Matar-bay this will make Andromeda sector, the Hydra sector, and tanis much much easier to take. I dont understand why we are so spread out and on Aesir pass when we know how supply line work at this point. Take out these three planets and we will be able to take out the sectors in no time.
Yeah, I'm one of those who made the numbers quickly go down. This "event" pissed me off.
I've never been much of a live service gamer. Played Star Wars Squadrons for a while, but not for super long. This game looked really fun, so I tried it, but expected to only be playing it when friends might be online, or something. Little did I know, this game was about to become my main game. I started playing post nerfs, so I didn't know any better, so I still enjoyed it, despite the nerfs. However, now that they've buffed the crap out of everything again, it is soooo much better and so much more fun. I really, really wasn't expecting all this when I first bought the game. Thank you Arrowhead for making this masterpiece, and thanks to incredible Helldivers 2 community as well!!
I can't wait to see the vids of teams using the Constitution, the really good, and really bad :P
I’m a bolt action enjoyer, but I have to say that when I used the constitution I was little bit disappointed with the effectiveness. Yeah it probably isn’t supposed to be good, but I couldn’t help but feel unsatisfied with not being able to one shot the heads of the Alfa commanders. However don’t get me wrong the weapon is still fun to use on the bot front. Being able to use the bayonet is really fun to just charge in like a WW1 soldier
I'd love to be able to display my favorite weapons and stratagems in my Aegis of Wrath.
It would be fun to visit other people too and see what they have dignified with a place on their weapon rack.
Couple it with a requirement to have actually used the weapon somehow; overload ten ice for the scythe maybe. That kind of thing.
I hope Arrowhead continues on this direction. Been playing again :3
I enjoyed myself extremely in this game. I've played it from day one. It has improved and I can't wait for The new war bonds which I have saved up for
I honestly thought the "hold super earth" MO would be a sign of a surprise, and an automaton fleet would push towards super earth posing an actual risk
Yeah, but it of course was nothing. So damn lame and boring.
The "new" constitution weapon is cool, but I really want to be able to use it and still provide some support for my team. It should at least be good to the extent that you can make a 300 yo rifle by adding a stripper clip and some more damage. I don't want to be able to one shot alpha commanders and devestators, but I at least want some more stagger on them when I have to unjam my thumb when the bolt closes a little too soon
I love how we have a lee Enfield with a bayonet now its fun to use not bad even on dif 7 so long as you have a good support weapon like the auto canon
I actually really love the riffle, and it’s pretty effective at difficultly 5. At 7, which is what I play a lot of, you do have to be a lot more skillful and learn the curves of the weapon, but if you use iron sights most of the time, you should be fine. Meleeing is incredibly fun and until we get a true combat knife, it will be my go to for stealth tactics, historical loadouts, and my favorite, trench diving.
I also play against the bots 95% of the time, so I don’t know what it’s like to use it against the bugs.
I hope they bring back more relic weapons. The rumbler, suppressor, c4, rep80, paragon and the original toxic avenger are on my wishlist.
I know the Constitution isn't meant to be good. I just think that it should be. Instead of a bolt action I think if they gave us something modeled after the M1 Garand it would have been way cooler. Heavy Armor pen, enblock clips, the ping sound and of course we have to keep the bayonet
I am definitely the only one that wants an endless game mode for helldivers
I love the constitution because of how COOL it is, I do wish it had some higher AP and damage so I actually had an excuse to use it.
was there some hidden nerf? the 500kg barely kills anything now, still demolished buildings but I literally had bug crawling out of the crater
Ikr? I have not got more than 5 kills with any 500kg for some reason.
I'm not having any issues with it. It's still very deadly.
500kg is too inconsistent imo. youre better off with orbital precision strike. its basically a delayed railcannon with half the cooldown
@@periwinkle2486 I've used to use it to clear the small outpost/poi in one go, it did that previously, now it leaves enemies standing. At first I though maybe I just placed it wrong, but now every time I use it, it leaves some enemies standing when it used to clean everything.
It kills helldivers twice as good now. Very buff. Much balance.
WE DID IT BOYS THE BOTS NOW HAVE A BROWN STAIN IN THEIR PANTS
The real meta, jousting at the end of missions with your teammates.
I use an R-2124 Constitution for Home Defense, as the Founding Fathers intended.
4 bots break into my base
"Sweet Liberty!"
I grab my R-2124 and Helldiver Cape
Blow a golf ball size hole in the first Automaton, he's dead on the spot
Equip my EAT for the second bot, miss him entirely because I stepped on a landmine, nailing the nearby Factory Strider.
I have to resort to the previously placed HMG Emplacement at the top of the stairs loaded halfway.
"SAY HELLO TO DEMOCRACY!"
The Emplacement guns down two bots in the barrage, a stray bullet setting off a nearby Hellbomb.
Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified Scrapheap
He's deactivated before he's able to set off a Bot Drop flare because Peak Physique and the bayonet attacks are impossible to survive a hit from.
*sips Liber-Tea
Just as the Founding Fathers intended
5:05 speaking of the wormhole, some people are saying the meridia black hole is making strange new noises or is getting louder and more aggressive. Could be hinting at something maybe?
As far as I can tell, this is areaction from content starved divers hoping for something to actually happen. Meridia is not making new noises.
I wasn’t able to play but I sure got on to celebrate take a few screenshots.
People love this game so much. They need to focus on progression. Something to grind for.
They could start by not wasting everybody's time with a fake event where they did nothing.
I still don't think the illuminate are going to come in through that black hole. It's a red herring. Remember the bots counter attack months ago came from outside the galaxy. There's something going on out there.
I would really love to see a new kind of gamemode instead of the regular dives.
Perhaps an endless mode? Or a boss hunt?
About constitution, was surprised that it one taped Stalkers, least to me it happened twice
The only thing i wish was that the new rifle would utilize a stripper clip reload from 0 to 5 rounds. Not really for a stat buff but more an animation buff because that would look and sound cool.
