I think the name airburst is a misnomer. It just means the rockets blow up mid-air, not that it's only good for anti air purposes and nothing else

I'm really confused: my squad of 4 (pickups) were about to finish a Suicide Mission with almost every samples, all four of us waiting for the ship to land.
Ship lands, I enter it. Another guy joins. The two others dudes wait around, shooting bugs, right in front of the ramp. And they wait. And wait. Ship departs.
They start screaming at me that "I" made them lost all samples. Wtf? Feels bad, man.

I only started playing a few weeks ago, it's absolutely worth it. So much fun.
I think it's great fun and good for casual runs. I run like one op a day on the weekdays.
Also if you do plan to get the game down the line, it's best to get it earlier. The MO's give free medals to everyone and that's if everyone accomplishes that.
A few MOs and you'll likely hit cap of medals real quick so logging in early and claiming them every week or so to unlock the first free warbond won't be too bad especially.
Both Choohe and Penta are locked on the map selection screen. Is there something I need to do before I'm able to play these missions?
the community needs to liberate the planets that have supply lines to those planets to unlock them for attack
at the current rate it will be about 9 hours till we take Lesath, which then opens the path to Penta
Jack Scofield StrykerIsland FYI https://helldivers.io/ is a handy resource for the Major Order stuff.
He also said that the leaked versions of the new stratagems are deprecated playtest versions. Hopefully that means that the anti-tank mines are only triggered by heavy units in the final version.
Ya! I was talking about this the other day. Makes no sense, I see it all the time. People just don't get in the dropship.
I've found 100 on trivial, so I think it's just random.
I hate these last action heroes. It's so dumb, not to mention there's always the odd joker who tosses a strike on the ship as well.
Don't hesitate to yell at them to get in, some people get tunnel vision in those moments.
Penta just got liberated and we get to try out the airburst rocket launcher on it, shame penta is probably going to be liberated before we can try the anti tank mines on choohe
Feels like it has the longest reload time in the game so far, might be more than dual clip autocannon loading but not sure, it's massive too which is cool
I know they said the leaked version was an older version but this still absolutely decimates grounded enemies, it's still pretty much a shoulder mounted cluster bomb launcher
Has basically no effect on dropships
I think an ion cannon weapon (think star wars) that was a single target emp weapon that can affect vehicles would be really cool, like a modified quasar that charges quicker but deals no damage, you could use it to disable tanks/hulks/bile titans and hitting flying enemies would be an almost guaranteed kill because they'd crash to the ground (would require hitting multiple different thrusters on dropships to balance it out)

Yeah but the animation seems to be bugged to fuck where my character was facing the wrong way but the hand bones were still connected to the hook points on the other model lol
That said I can't remember if that's just what all team reloads look like as it's a mechanic no one ever really uses
It's litteraly a frag RPG. I was expecting more, though it's probably amazing against bugs. I was hoping it'd lock on something then go for a top down attack, like the Spear.
I'm guessing the animation for the team reload should be different since it loads from the front.

oof I was hoping people might make a move on menkent now so we can get to choohe and atleast try out the anti-tank mines too but there's only 3k people on menkent and I've got the feeling penta is going to be liberated way before menkent
Also I wonder how they're going to handle the introduction of new planet biomes? overwrite some of the ones already on the map, or add new planets instead? Hopefully the latter.
It would be cool if at some point, something like a death star or a warhammer style forgeworld appears in the automaton front as it's own biome and we get to blow it up after we liberate it.

It would be cool if there were player-wide resource sinks, like you can access a terminal and help fund the development of new stratagems by donating resources towards them but it costs x billions of requistion and millions of sample types
And then after the playerbase helps fund the entire development of them you still have to buy them anyway because capitalism

I mainly Quickplay and I'm nearly always dropped into matches that are starting. Though, there's been the odd time where I have dropped in as the Pelican is close to arriving (or actually leaving). It's rare when it happens in my experience.
Yeah it seems it doesn't detonate on contact but on proximity to enemy units, and the aoe is massive but with real low armour piercing explosive damage, so if you fire it directly at a group of grounded enemies, there's a good chance it's exploding halfway between you and them and catching everyone in the cross fire.

Penta divers outnumber Chort by about 14 to 1.
Which by coincidence is the same ratio of teamkills to enemy kills that the airburst launcher achieves.

There is currently zero missions on Penta on 5-Hard?? Gone in and out 6-7 times and nothing will load.
That's the one thing I find annoying about this game - sometimes you join a game and it says unable to join the game is over…but when you go to the map again that mission is still there? Sometimes happens 4+ times in a row. It's like they haven't set it up to automatically refresh when something goes wrong or even when you exit and enter again.
Lmao even at a significant distance it's suicide sometimes

Don't bother with the white/green mission markers, they're 110% of the time out of date. Either start your own or use quickplay from the planet globe location. Quickplay does the same as selecting an SoS in addition to looking for incomplete games.
I think I'd rather use the cluster bombs over the new airburst launcher. The proximity detection is a bit sensitive, as shooting with even debris nearby might make it detonate prematurely.
CarbotAnimations has a new animation up about that one diver who gets the samples during extraction.

So the patch was likely supposed to go out this week and they needed more time but still decided to let us have an experimental version.
current stratagems versions we are using are not the final ones
we are basically using the "leaked" versions atm
Wonder if they'll do an in-world explanation about how we were using the prototypes and then when we actually unlock it, it's the finished version
Super Earth equipment is always perfect
the current launcher is perfect
next week it will just be MORE perfect!
I've played 145 hours and I've yet to finish one mission without a single death in the squad. I fear it may never happen if people start bringing this thing along.
