>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?
HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 crossplay, co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC, PS5 and XBox Series X/S where players fight against hordes of alien insects, robots and squids to Spread Democracy™. Players wage war on contested planets, each with a different biome, completing as many objectives as possible in a procedurally generated level while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful missions, a planet can be defended or liberated, and the player base must combine their efforts as much as possible to Liberate™ the galaxy.

>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?
Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is a shared screen top-down shooter in the same setting. Its mechanics were based primarily on Arrowhead's first game, Magicka.

leveller is nice but it's almost always overkill, commando is the better pairing imo since you can possibly kill hulks in 1, take out gunships without feeling like a waste, and use it while on the move from point to point.
Only downside is 2 blues leaves you pretty strapped for what else to take. 500kg for factory striders and detector towers, portable hellbomb for jammers and orbital cannons, but a sentry would be nice to have for holding, or any more chaff-cleary eagle/orbital would be nice to have too, so you gotta sacrifice something.

that is kino
however, it's aids that bodies only despawn when the corpse is no longer in motion, rather than having a set timer, because corpses often bug the fuck out and get desync'd from their hitboxes and have invisible collision that lasts way too long due to this factor

Slugger should be changed from this miserable idea of a "precision" gamba shotgun with dogshit spread and damage dropoff and turned into something like the double freedom. Aka, a "anything I hit in general just gets fucking deleted" shotgun. It's a slug shotgun, that ball of lead its shooting out is so massive that it should be punching holes in anything you hit with it.

As is always the case with arrowhead, they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Warstrider lethality should have been left alone; literally all they needed were AP3 weakpoints where the obvious vent weakspots were, and to fix/tweak the interaction with blowing up the grenade launcher pods not transferring any damage to main or whatever it was. From what I recall the grenade launcher pods were supposed to explode and inflict heavy damage to the warstrider upon being destroyed, and it had a heatsink modeled up between the grenade pods, so it was fairly clear that you were supposed to destroy both pods to damage or destroy the heatsink, either killing the warstrider outright, or putting it into a bleedout state like hulks.

Everyone with half a brain was just asking for them to work the same way other bot heavy units were designed, so it was a high risk high reward encounter. But no, AH caved to redditors who were getting 1shot in light armor running around without any cover, and they made the laser cannons less deadly and the grenades do no damage.

The problem with war striders isn't that they're hard, It's that they're poorly designed. They fold like paper towels to any AT and are barely a nuisance if you bring the RR or Quasar but are extremely obnoxious to kill with AP4. The eye weak spots mean nothing except for the railgun, good luck landing your 4-5 shots with your AMR or AC while you're getting chain ragdolled by 3 of them. They're barely a threat so their main purpose is to annoy players with grenade spam that ragdolls you every ~10 seconds. They're garbage, they limit your loadout by their mere existence and any seed without them instantly makes bots 5 times more fun to play.

>>563379290
Grok said plant/mushroom aliens, so basically orks
Here’s a solid original concept: the Verdant Scourge (or “Flora Rebellion” in Super Earth propaganda). This would be a rampant, invasive biomechanical plant-based faction—think hyper-evolved carnivorous flora fused with corrupted Super Earth tech and organic mutagens. Not just walking trees or simple vines, but a living, adaptive ecosystem that “infests” the battlefield, turning planets into overgrown death jungles. It leans into environmental horror and adaptive defense, forcing Helldivers to fight both enemies and the mutating terrain itself. Perfect satire: Super Earth’s industrial expansion accidentally (or via dissident sabotage) unleashed a bio-weapon that backfired into sentient greenery demanding “freedom from managed democracy.”
Core Playstyle Shift
• Thematic niche: Mid-to-long range area control with heavy emphasis on environmental hazards and adaptive mutations. Missions feel like clearing a hostile, living forest where cover can turn against you, visibility is choked by spore clouds, and “safe” zones sprout traps mid-fight. It rewards fire/incendiary loadouts, area-denial stratagems, and quick objective pushes before the map itself overwhelms the team.
• Why it fits as fourth: Bugs are raw biological aggression up close. Bots are metallic shooting lines. Squids are tricky high-tech disruption. Plants would be slow-building but relentless “living siege” — they entrench, spread, and evolve resistances over the mission, creating escalating tension rather than instant chaos or precision duels.
• Balance hook: Fewer elite “tank” units than bots or bugs, but stronger focus on debuffs (spore blindness, rooting slows, corrosive sap that eats armor over time) and map-altering effects. No mind control or teleport spam—pure territorial takeover that punishes static camping and rewards aggressive pruning.

Oooo. Death Planet reference. Let's sweeten the pot. Not just flora, fauna too. The entire damn planet is psionic. Perhaps the key to unlocking the Void if they don't already have it written in. Doesn't have an established planet, but instead "infects" other planets. So you could get a planet on any front suddenly going "ape shit" verdant because a few kilos of malevolent biomatter spread there. Adds hostile fauna and extra environmental hazards that both the player, and that sectors enemies have to deal with. Nightmare mode: bug planets. Bugs get folded into the psychic gestalt. Start having to deal with shit like bamfing Hunters/Stalkers. Squids least effected by it, seem to coexist with it to a limited degree. Bots'd be funny as fuck, but could be the basis for some serious oh shit industrial defoliators. Probably never happen, but it'd be an awesome way to jam in another staple sci-fi military vs planet fuck trope that is criminally underdone.

Squids obviously. Bugs will just eviscerate you in under a second then eat your corpse. Bots will shoot you dead then grind your corpse into mulch to tube-feed their cyborg masters. But squids go out of their way to target civilians to turn into voteless.

Premise 1 that I always recommend when this OC factions question comes up is to suggest an Alien faction who are primitives. Proper spearchuckers who by some mix of cleverness, kitbashing, outside help, maybe a bit of ancient aliens technology and a lot of SE’s own underestimation sees them be able to hit above their weight class and lodge a spear through our throats.

Premise 2: Rebels and/or another human republic that are ‘actually’ the good guys who SE pretends to be and who ape modern (Swedish) armies for tactic inspirations.

For your next move you'll conflate a gear check with a skill check and act like it's somehow an act of intelligence or skill to click "EAT" on the loadout screen every single mission for hundreds of hours.

When lasers are powerful enough they can cause materials they're hitting to vaporize or explode.
The water content in your body would react rather violently if it's being instantly turned to steam.
Even metals can ignite and create self sustaining reactions when heated to appropriate temperatures.

The main benefit is that a lot of the chip damage that adds up over time becomes negligible, so you don't burn through your stims nearly as quickly. Basically, you can ignore Pyro Troopers and Hulk Firebombers become nuisances. Shotgun Devastators will still one-shot you though.

How would a laser + backpack support weapon work, should it exist? The easy way out would be Laser Cannon with an extended firing duration or the Quasar with more shots before overheating. Something like the Harvester beam would be cool, a big "fuck you" laser blast but you are locked in to firing the laser for a full 5 or 10 seconds or something.
>>
>>563384986
Actual difficulty depends on the front but you can easily fab-maxx with eagle strafe for bots, FRV-maxx for squids, and run-maxx for bugs.
>>
>>563384986
Solo blitz can be impossible to full map clear solo depending on map seed and luck, its really not designed for one player but everything besides main objective is optional anyway so its not like you NEED to do it all.
>>
>>563385335
A super quasar that deals 4x the damage of a normal quasar, but you have an entire backpack battery that overheats and needs to cool down when you shoot it.

My ideal would be that the backpack contains extra ICE cells that get automatically ejected as they're expended.

1. A backpack-fed Laser Cannon would perform similarly to the existing Laser Cannon (maybe underslung instead of over-the-shoulder), and the backpack has a set of linked heatsinks. The currently-used heatsink functions as normal, it heats up while firing and cools down when not, but if it burns out then the backpack automatically switches to the next heatsink in line and ejects the burnt-out one, which you replace by grabbing ammo as normal. So they function sort of like the HP bar in Escape from Butcher Bay, if you practice fire discipline you can avoid burning out heatsinks but if you do go all-out the backpack allows for continuous fire unlike the current Laser Cannon.

2. A backpack-fed Quasar Cannon could just give it a moving-reload functionality. You still charge the weapon to fire a shot, but after each shot the ICE automatically burns out and you have to actuate a mechanism on the backpack to eject the burnt-out heatsink and load the next one, which can be done while moving. As with all backpack-fed weapons you just pick up fresh heatsinks by grabbing ammo. So this version would allow you to fire consecutive shots with the Quasar Cannon, circumventing the current problem of waiting for the cooldown while also giving it a moving-reload advantage that puts it above the Spear, Recoilless and Epoch.

As much as I would like a backpack-fed Sickle, the Maxigun already exists. And I don't think turning the entire backpack into a single huge heatsink would work very well.

Kind of - at a certain point it feels like the show forgets the implication of having superhumans outside of moments for the MC and a few other hangers on to swag out and be powerful. Except for when it needs to clumsily talk about racism, where one race are eugenic big brain boys and girls (coordinators) and one are normal humans.

Speaking of mecha the other day I thought it would be funny if there was a giant mech suit you had to have three helldivers pilot together, like the getter robo.
I've just always wanted a mech in a multiplayer game that requires team co-ordination to use...

Cards on the table, Seed/Seed Destiny are my least favourite gundam anon. Turn-A is my favourite. Still I was of the mind of trying to see every Gundam series. I stopped around about AGE.
SEED is fucking stupid but became the fun kind of melodramatic after a certain point. Destiny almost reaches that point but never quite gets there, it's just dumb.
Freedom however was the fun kind of melodramatic the whole way through, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Once the Void gets to super earth. We need Termicide 2.0. We need MORE super destroyers. Hell, build ANOTHER Star of Peace. The entire weight of the Super Earth economy is profiting from the war, but it's not behind the war.
>>
>>563411864
The reason you are sent to the surface of a planet is to act as a targeting system for the super destroyer, because you are cheaper than deploying a triangulation system. The B-01 armor is made from repurposed super destroyer hull waste. You are frequently given experimental weapons with little regard to safety of the user.

Do you think corpos give a fuck about normies dying en masse? Back when scientists discovered that cigarettes cause lung cancer the tobaccoo industry literally wrote a book on how to run misinformation campaigns to undermine science so they could keep selling their death sticks despite knowing full well that they're pure cancer
Line must go up, no matter the cost
>>

remove the last sentence and "super" from the corpos and this might as well be real life commentary on the western world
as for HD2 it's just a mix of corpo logic and a lot of managed democracy
>>
>>563412943
Of course they don't give a fuck about people, just look at the Helldivers. BUT, this is an existential threat to even "Line go up". It's like Squidigi Squidgione decided to shoot the CEO of STAHL arms in the middle of 5th avenue on Super Earth. The profits themselves are in danger because (YOU) are now in danger.

Bug heads are weird like that. I'm surprised it's a weakpoint when losing it clearly doesn't stop any important functions. Headless bugs still have perfect sight, hearing and can call in breaches.

>>563422530
It's both alright and bad at the same time. It has extremely high projectile drag which means terrible damage at outside spitting distance, middling damage up close and a small ammo supply. It's like a safe mode railgun that deploys a gas grenade wherever it strikes. Good with the supply pack alongside it, pretty bad without it.
>>

>>563421945
D10 isn't more difficult, it's just more annoying. More patrols, more big niggas per fight, and more of a need to stick with meta picks or your team.
>>
>>563422530
>Only 20 medals till I can get the spear gun, is it good.
No, not really. It's basically a really low powered railgun with a smidge of a gas grenade attached to the tip. It's horrible against heavy enemies and can't deal with crowds effectively because the gas puff is tiny. Its one saving grace is the 30 demolition force so it can close spawners, that's about it.

You're honest to God just better off taking the gas grenades and the supply pack if you want the same thing but better, because gas grenades have a larger and much more prolonged gas effect, while also destroying spawners as well.

if you're running out of ammo in the 2 and a half minutes it takes to call in another resupply you need to aim better, use your stratagems better, or just take a supply pack or an ammo efficient weapon such as a laser weapon
>>
>>563421945
If you're bad with ammo management you need to just accept only taking laser weapons, or use Siege Ready, or take the Supply Pack.

I think siege breakers is kind of overrated. The only thing I kind of care about in it is the trident, rest is whatever.

Doubtful, I don't think the devs remember certain passives exist, they're too focused on making new ones, plus I think they're opposed to adding any more of the "plot armor" passive considering their attitude lately, considering people have been ripping into them for their comments on the OTF giving players a minor morale buff like reload speed or stamina regen not being "realistic"

What is the point of angled foregrips?

commando's pretty much the same as EAT except you can take "both" with you and they're split up in to 4 shots instead of 2
>>
>>563441627
sway reduction
ergo cope for dcs and judy
>>
>>563441798
>sway reduction
Just crouch
>>
>>563441582
stalwart has virtually no recoil
>>
>>563441627
They're for high damage, low ammo, low RPM guns.
Stuff like the Dominator or the marksman rifles.
>>
>>563441428
and yet it lacks the most important quality of the EATs which is the short cooldown
>>
>>563441627
Crouch/prone and Fortified/Engineering Kit severely reduce the effects of recoil. And just the mere act of aiming your weapon (no need for first-person) also halves all recoil.

>>563441798
You're forgetting the Eruptor, which has such a low ROF that recoil literally doesn't matter. Angled foregrip in that case is literally a pure upgrade, same with literally any of the alternate scope options.
>>
>>563441868
That is exactly why it works.
Any weapon you're actually supposed to spray at the enemies has to have medium pen or it will suffer against hordes of chaff that always have medium armored enemies in them.
>>
swiggers need to pay me reparations in the form of 500 extra rounds for my maxigun to make up for me getting hit by hunters phasing through terrain and wasting bullets hitting invisible bodies.

Stalwart is a meme that forces rundiving, MG requires a supply pack to fulfill the proper machine gunner experience and the HMG needs a higher mag cap

For me, it's still the AMR.
>>
>>563442796
>close to being good, needs one more shot per mag with no other changes
epoch won't be good until they remove the spread. there's no reason for the epoch to be as inaccurate as it is.
>>
>>563441428
EATs are supposed to be taken as an AT supplement to your existing support weapon. The commando is "better" if you're going to go without a support weapon because you can essentially keep both EATs worth on your back at the same time and carry it with you. Two commando rockets hit the same breakpoints as one EAT so it's not really better call in for call in. Shorter cooldown with the EAT means you don't really need to carry it on your back all the time even if you're going to use it as your only support weapon.
>>
>>563443204
>Two commando rockets hit the same breakpoints as one EAT
depends entirely on what you are shooting at. charger and bile titan heads sure it's the same, but charger asses? EAT can get 2, commando can kill 4. tank heat sinks? EATs 2, commando 4, the front of a tank? EATs 1, commando 2

It's Extra Padding, Ballistic Padding, or Fortified or bust for medium armor. Your biggest possible advantage is having baseline heavy armor stats combined with the increased speed.

nope, lasers alert enemies from the same distance as their gunpowder counterparts. Unless there's a specific energy weapon that acts differently. Also no clue if arc or stun weapons are considered silent.

Mando's biggest disadvantage over EAT is targets that require two rockets into a specific weakspot but stagger from the first one such that you can't immediately blast out the second shot. Most notable example being bile titans.

medium armor's only real value at this point is it can be turned into faster heavy armor. that's the best way to look at it, like e.g. extra padding imagine it as a 150 heavy set with the perk "increased mobility" or something. because otherwise a bog standard 100 armor with no other defensive buffs doesn't have any meaningful breakpoints over light armor.

nobody seems to have realized nobody really runs medium siege ready, they all still use the light or heavy sets.

promise no shitposting, now

38 shots fired, 9 missed the rock completely. Each frame is the moment of impact as seen by the red spark effect. The end of the webm is a composite of all frames. The red dot was the point of aim 1 frame before firing. Keep in mind this includes drop so the cluster of shots will be notably lower than the point of aim at this range. In the case of missed shots their position is taken 10 frames later as that was a very consistent timing from firing to impact for the shots that did hit.

the real life one also doesn't have any gun traverse at all and is completely fixed in place to the hull instead relying entirely on turning the entire vehicle to traverse the gun. a pivoting gun is much more similar to WW2 vintage tank destroyers

>>563449427
The damage spikes aren't balanced around anything below 150 armour - the default armour value. If you run medium armour without extra padding passive then it's on you for playing the game in a way the absentee game devs do not give a single fuck to balance.

I like using a marksman rifle (been fond of the diligence recently) and the dagger pistol paired with thermites. Recoilless, AT sentry, shield, and 500kg to fill out my stratagems. Sometimes I use the strafing run but it feels bugged.

As someone's that's not that cracked at the game, what's the ideal solo diff? 4 or 5?
>>
>>563460385
10, and if you lose try again. You’re not gonna get better otherwise. Or don’t lose, try to solo, and if you get raped call the SOS.
>>
>>563459281
>farm
uh, no i dont think u understand
>>
>>563460385
10 is soloable, but any time I see people making gameplay videos of it, they take the entire 45 minute timer and evac with the emergency shuttle
It depends on your skill level, but I'd say 7 is comfy solo without missing out on anything combat-wise
>>
>>563404981
unironic skill issue if your mechs are getting destroyed anywhere outside of bots
>>
>>563460385
Depends on what you want to face. Higher difficulties have a higher proportion of heavy enemies as well as more enemies in general. I don't enjoy solo so I can't really speak for it. I think all the enemy types will appear on d7 or higher though.

HMG had its durable damage raped despite having hollow point rounds (expanding rounds effective against soft, dense flesh)
as opposed to high AP rounds that penetrate well but comparatively dont do a lot of "damage" because it doesnt expand and tumble around

how would you balance it?
remember, to keep current STK numbers with the liberator as a base the ass of a behemoth would need 4000 HP and the autocannon would need to do 1400 damage a shot

the entire damage system of the game is needlessly complicated and would require rebuilding from the ground-up if we were to remove durable damage. No one is going to give you an answer with any depth on how to "balance it", but durable damage is indeed retarded and unnecessary. They could have accomplished everything they needed to with one damage number on each weapon paired with armor penetration values, but the more complicated it is and the less of it gets explained to players, the better it is in the mind of a swedish game developer.
>>
>>563465730
i don't think it's that simple bro
'durable' is a good way to represent damage resistance on destructible parts
>>
>>563465954
>keep armor match damage penalty
>change health numbers and damage to main values
>adjust damage weapons do
why would this not be able to accomplish the same things as durable damage?
>>
>>563465730
durable damage is a balancing lever.
the liberator concussive has a notably higher durable damage ratio compared to the normal liberator. if they did the same normal damage the lib conc would do nearly double the liberators at 42 durable damage. get rid or durability and now you've lost a feature that helps distinguishing the two. how do you replace that with just armour penetration levels without having a dozen different penetration levels and a sliding scale of damage reduction compared to the "less than = x0, equal to = x0.65, or greater than = x1" system we have now?
>>
>>563466221
it's a completely unnecessary mechanic that is not explained anywhere which is the whole problem with it
you could balance it with any number of other changes, fire rate, ammo capacity, the actual damage it does, stagger values whatever. No one is picking libconc for the durable damage anyway, most people that play don't even know durable damage is a mechanic in the game

The crux of adding new factions is that the original three have a huge breadth of concepts and gameplay styles already taken, adding a new faction would encroach on the swarm/shootout/both formula. But I want more factions so lets run with that. Three MORE factions each of which have a similar gameplay style to the first three, but have completely different themes and mechanics.

>Faction 4 - Lizards
Similar to bugs with swarming tactics, but with a higher emphasis on ranged combat, stealth units and structures. These are reptilian pre-FTL primitives with stone age technology, they have swords and shields, bows and arrows, poison darts, slings, battle axes, maybe greek fire. Venom and poison could be cool as a recurring status effect. They get to ride dinosaurs and space dragon. Their heavy units are a combination of huge dinosaurs (sort of like war elephants and actual dragon riders) and siege engines (catapults, tebuchets, ballistas, and so on). Maybe they have acid blood or regenerate health over time to differentiate them from the bugs' head loss gimmick.

>Faction 5 - Dissidents
Similar to bugs with long range combat and less chaff, though comparatively the Dissidents would have more chaff and shittier heavy units, in exchange for having a lot more of them and even deadlier firepower. Replacing the dinky red lasers are genuine bulletfire, shotgun slugs, frag grenades, flak cannons, molotov cocktails and nailbombs. Maybe a few of their special units get their hands on helldiver tech like the laser or plasma weapons. Their heavy units consist of shitty technicals, literally those prius-looking cars you see in SE cities with rocket batteries and machine guns grafted onto the back, in addition to stolen jeeps, exos and swede tanks. All of their chaff act like cyborgs in that they make heavy use of cover. Also they get stratagems too, and will actively freak out and run away when you throw a red at them. Glass cannon bots, essentially.
>>
>>563469781

addendum.

>Lizards
Also, their reinforcements has their big chieftain units sound a war horn, so kind of a mix between bugs and squids if the overseers could call bug breaches. Maybe they ride in on raptors, or just run over to the sound of the horn from the distance.

>Dissidents
Fuck I meant to say they were like bots mb. Anyway they'd also get snipers and some more variety in chaff compared to the robots. It'd be cool if they were a bizarre fusion of NATO with middle east terrorism (think GLA from generals). It'd be cool if, not only do they steal SE tech, they also steal stuff from adjacent factions on nearby planets. Breaking bugs out of enclosures, recruiting robot/cyborg mercenaries, manic squid cultists, etc.

>Faction 6 - Demons
Aliens from another universe, gameplay is similar to squids. Ideally not too demony, should look more eldritch, maybe they're energy-based, or four dimensional. Chaff if crazy psychic humans going insane, with hatchets and shotguns, while spitting pink energy beams from their fingers that do not damage but make your head explode if they connect for long enough. The "Demons" are almost wendigo-looking things with mouths in their chest and goat-skull faces, that bum rush you with energy swords, and will teleport all over the place, sort of like hunters but with more health. The whole faction should reward reaction-time over accuracy.

Other demons get whips, flails, swarms of bees and flaming ghost skulls or some shit. Transformations, summons and environmental hazards are their recurring elements. Maybe some can time travel and summon clones of themselves mid-battle. Their reinforcements aren't called at all, a bunch of portals just open up in the sky every ~5 minutes at decreasing intervals, and you have to shoot bullets into the portals to close them before too many demons crawl out. Still probably too close to squid cultists in theme but it's the best I could think of.
