(+) Yeah! (+)

It's only "unplayable" if you use those stratagems. Just ran an operation with zero issues.

Other things are causing crashes as well, those are main culprits. I dont like the idea of pissing away 40 minutes only to crash out and receive nothing for the effort. Also, most divers aren't going to see this and keep bringing that stuff into matches which jeopardizes the whole party. Shit is fucked this weekend and I won't be wasting my time. Luckily it's a new Pokemon TCG set release this weekend so I have that to rip into.

The reddit and discord have it covered. You could always host and kick people if they use it that way it doesn't waste your time.

Luckily Dragons Dogma 2 also releases so that'll tide me over

So essentially this game is pretty much unplayable this weekend. They could probably quick fix the PC version, but thanks to Sony we must wait. Fucking great.

I'm confused, why blame Sony for this one?

Because they'll have to wait for Sony's approval to push the patch to the PS5 version so they have to hold the PC patch back too until it gets through.

Nothing in that post implies it is due to the console certification process. It could very well just be that they are working through the weekend to get it ready, as plenty of games get multiple patches quickly and efficiently. This isn't Payday 3, this is a Sony published game.

Lol I saw a dude use the arc shotty and I was just like...you're playing with fire bro.

Lo and behold, he crashes during extraction lol

I have yet to use an Arc weapon. It can screw you if randos bring Arc weapons.

only if they don't know how to use it. imagine a large cone in front of you and if your team mates are in that cone switch to another weapon. If you take point and your teammates are behind you it will annihilate bug breaches, swarms, and heavies
(you can use it close to teammates if you aim right, using the edge of the imaginary cone instead of the center)

I don't think you're paying attention, it'll crash their game and potentially your as well. Shit is unstable right now.

Had an extract crash through the ground yesterday, so we just survived at the extraction site for like 15 minutes until time ran out.

citizens of the federation of super earth are required to fill out forms each time you want to perform an act that *could* result in a child and it's up to the glorious ministry of procreation to decide whether or not managed democracy will benefit from such an act. liberty bless super earth!

I find it strange as hell that a game that amounts to endlessly killing bugs and robots has such extensive lore.

The first game had even more lore.

Oh? Could you drop some of it here? And I'm genuinely asking lol Lore is always fun to learn about imho

Each gun, enemy, and stratagem had a little blurb about it's history. It had a running ticker that had enemy information about the war. When a new war began, you would read a blurb that explained why the war started with that faction.

Started playing with people randomly, our whole team got destroyed by one guy using the mine fields like there's no tomorrow lol.

I feel like I'm getting used to the controls at least.

Have a question about the community orders - is it that you just have to participate in like one mission or operation to earn the medals if the overall order is fulfilled? Or is there some other minimum contribution level you have to reach?

As long as your account was active before the order started, you get the medals on a successful order. People have been away and got medals for a previous order.

Wasn't having much luck with random teams hoping to get super samples. Started solo farming them over the weekend. Kinda slow going on it, but at least I'm nearly guaranteed a map's super samples for 15 minutes of playing.

Should be able to play with less stress about it once I finish getting all the super samples I need. Then I can just slowly accumulate the rest of what I need to max out by playing casually, and any super samples will be a bonus.

I've found 7 difficulty hasn't been too terrible for the 4-somes I play with. Finally gotten some super samples.

I'm logging on daily to do the personal orders and getting a laugh at the lower levels joining up on me and asking why I don't ramp up the difficulty since I'm level 50 and have every weapon unlocked. I think I still have like 1k medals to unlock everything from all 3 passes.

I wonder if I should play this game. Been watching some streamers play and it really feels like it scratches that L4D itch.

Wait wtf the major order ended and I didnt get my medals

Hey new patch, maybe now I can play again.

If it's anything like the last few, there's a notable delay. I finished two major orders with no medals when they officially ended, then got both at once like three days after the second one completed.

You could always play. You just refused to host and check loadouts...

Ahh cheers!

Heads up, we got a brand new content drop today. Two new support weapons: the Heavy Machine Gun and a charged shot Quasar Cannon.

https://www.ign.com/articles/helldivers-2-gets-two-new-stratagems-that-should-help-take-down-those-annoying-automatons

Only article I found for it, sorry.

Neither is super expensive so I've got enough req to grab them immediately. Looking forward to trying them out tonight.

Tried the Quasar. Not bad but better options if you have good aim

How long is the cool down after a shot?

My friend bought me the game so I would play it with him. My GPU wouldnt run it so I got a new one. Now it runs it but my sound isnt working

Finished the training thing. The game seems fun.

How long is the cool down after a shot?

It takes 3 seconds to charge up the shot itself, and then 10 seconds to cool down

Having looked around for a bit of info (it's a slow day),

The Quasar is widely regarded as extremely good. Charge up is 3 seconds, fire, and then 10 second cooldown. Infinite ammo, and does about as much damage as a recoilless without taking the backpack slot. Works better on bots due to the charge up; bugs are harder to deal with that delay on.

HMG is getting poor or mixed feedback. Recoil makes it extremely difficult to use and it guzzles ammo. But the damage is very high and it shreds medium enemies. Seems to penetrate medium armor. Also unclear if it's a bug, but it has no targeting reticle in third person.

Quasar cannon has big Spartan Laser energy, and I am here for that.
