Oh, great idea. That's the one con I have with the Blitzer, killing enemies at point-blank; it just doesn't seem to register.
I wonder what's up with people joining my game and leaving instantly.
Had 2 happen in lobby, when I was the only one there as host, and once in the field. I promise I don't bite.
Also, finally unlocked the Blitzer shotgun after hearing it's not shit (friend let me try it off their dead body and it felt useless pre-buff), and I'm really enjoying it now. Also finally used the Arc Launcher post-patch, and it still feels really good. It's been too long since I used it pre-patch, but is it placebo or is it really firing faster now, almost equivalent to the fast-charge bug time?

Yeah, I've had very few bad experiences in-game, the people I've played with seem to actually know how to play the game and aren't treating it like COD and teammates as expendable NPC's. I've also kept the hug emote exclusively on and people are quick to hug back.
I do think it's a bit glitched there or maybe intentional but not explained mechanic
These fire tornados are some annoying bullshit. Especially when they sweep all over the extraction zone and won't piss off.
Really wish there was a strategem to deal with fire spread.

I honestly just stopped playing planets which have them. I don't mind some negative modifiers, but it's beyond blatantly obvious that fire tornadoes are designed to cover objective areas and follow the player around.
There are literally NO bug planets today that don't have the fire tornados. It's so fucking annoying.
For me when fighting Automatons I use the Eruptor and Redeemer, when fighting Terminids I use the Sickle and Grenade Pistol. For Stratagems I almost always go with Orbital Strike, Eagle Airstrike, Shield Backpack and Quasar Cannon. The Orbital Strike is great if you quickly need to take out one of the heaviest units or need to put some heavy damage in a Bile Titan, Eagle Airstrike is always great to take out a big group including heavier enemies. Shield Backpack I really like because against bots it just makes sure you take a lot less damage and bugs can't slow you when your shield is up. Quasar Cannon is always nice to take out heavy enemies as well.
Yeah the Blitzer got turned into a decent and fun weapon. Such a contrast from how it was before the patch!
After the 3rd game tonight just now where our extraction zone was completely covered in fire tornados and we lost a shitload of samples, I think I'm done with the game until they nerf this shit or more planets are available without them. It's just not fun AT ALL.
I simply embrace the fire tornados. I mean, I die, but I only wish them the very best, all the same.
I started running 7 difficulty on bugs recently and the energy shield backpack has been invaluable for me. Getting slowed usually means certain death and that negates it as long as you don't stand still for more than a few seconds.
I'm considering taking a break until the new SMG just cause the shift in play is so strong and enjoyable I'd like to play it better with the new lower RPM SMG. Everything is easy to manage except rocket devastators for whatever reason.
And yeah the Blitzer is secretly absolutely insane. If you can snuggle yourself into a funnel choke point everything will just stagger and die.
Feel free to experiment and find what works best for you. For bugs, I run arc thrower and rover with eruptor primary and it works well for me. Good horde clearing with the ability to take out spewers before they get into range and become a problem.
Also, always keep a look out for the dick rock. Sounds vulgar but it's the key to collecting super samples.
Does this mean they're pushing back the new warbond release date?
Hopefully they don't.
Also I believe the next months contents or so were in the last beefy patch. People were datamining for leaks.
Now I can only hope people fix their reviews. I have a feeling, a lot of people who refunded arent coming back and will leave their negative reviews as a stain
Yeah, some will change it, some wont. Much like it happened during the early launch when the servers were being hammered.
Glad for the players in those territories, in any case.

Oh no it won't. Its gonna be the next balance patch drama very soon lol. After every warbond theyre gonna tune those new weapons and people are gonna complain again instead of trying out some other weapons that might be buffed
Good job fellow divers 🫡 glad they listened so we all can continue to enjoy playing this game together
The warbond is already in the game and releases on the 9th
That drama is manageable compared to what we just went though, lmao.
Though I wouldn't put it past the chuds hellbent on attacking the queer HD2 devs to try and find another controversy to blow up (before Sony doused it with gasoline) to use as a smokescreen.
This was the most important Major Order the Helldivers have had to complete yet, well done! 😎
Good for players in territories without PSN. Glad we can get back to regular chatter tbh…at least until the next set of nerfs. 😂
It would actually fit the games theme and meta commentary lol: "Voice of Democracy cape" - redeem by submitting your genetic sequence to Super Earth (Sony).
Obviously optional with tactful implementation.
they are!
the reddit is full of threads and even has one pinned at the top asking people to change their reviews back
Honestly I'm shocked. And also extremely glad. This game and studio deserve much more than the shit they've been dealing with these past few days.
To think idiots even went and review bombed Helldivers 1...
Awesome!they are!

i love the "the community killed 2 billion bugs in 13 hours. What's a billion dollar company over the weekend compared to that?" narrative lol
I just wish the chuds didn't have to scum up everything that was happening - some pretty heinous stuff was posted in user reviews, etc.
We're definitely gonna be stuck fighting Terminids around the currently frontline, the message after completing the previous major order said that the supercolony will cause Terminids to spread to neighboring planets.Well divers, we managed to beat the evil PSN link, so now it's back to the bugfront!
We got two new planets as well, one of them currently as a defense!
