If you enjoy assault rifles I strongly recommend the sickle. It’s one of the most accurate weapons in the game and effectively has infinite ammo. If your aim is decent you can drop most enemies before it overheats. You’re not going to be topping the kill count, but that isn’t the point of the game.
Someone else mentioned the Quasar/EAT and I cannot echo that loudly enough. I prefer the Quasar for bots due to the increased frequency that I find myself needing anti-tank but it’s a little more difficult to use than the EAT.
Everyone wants to stick to the Autocannon meta but it really doesn’t work for me and there are some jobs that other tools do better. I can take out dropships with the EAT all day long where as the Autocannon can only hope to knock the bots off the bottom at best. This also frees up you backpack for the shield generator, which IS a crutch but will allow you a ton of breathing room against the bots in particular.
For armor against the bots you really want the perk that reduces explosive damage. The bots’ laser fire isn’t all that bad but for whatever reason they have pinpoint accuracy with rockets.
I don’t think that avoiding bot patrols is the right answer. You really want to avoid ACCIDENTALLY engaging bot patrols or engaging them before the team is prepared. If you can get the drop on a patrol it’s almost trivial for a team of helldivers to wipe them out without triggering dropships.
This game really thrives on communication, so encouraging any kind of dialogue between your team members is the best way to improve how your missions go.
Back in the early 2000s (when Apple Minis were introduced) there was a rare system error that you could get that ended in a wall of script/code. What has stuck with me to this day was the screen ended on the line “panic: we are hanging here”.
I’m not downplaying anything, but comparing a dumpster to a dumpster fire and saying they are the same thing is, at best, a little misleading.
The release of Witcher 3 was bad, but it was industry standard bad. Cyberpunk shipped straight up broken and incomplete. It has been fundamentally reworked at least twice since launch.
I don’t think anyone is apologizing for The Witcher 3 at launch, but let’s not pretend they are the same thing. There are more shades than black and white.
Haha ok so you’re just one of those people whose understanding of the universe isn’t capable of expanding beyond “this good, that bad”.
I haven’t defended anyone and never intended to. I’m just saying get your comparisons straight. “Hey this game has a bunch of annoying bugs” =/= “Yo this shit is effectively non-functional and empty”.

It is seeming more and more every day that the only way this situation is going to change is if more people start shooting police that are trespassing on their property. It’s become readily apparent that non-violent systems intended to prevent this kind of behavior do not work.
Meanwhile in America, we had to take my daughter to the hospital to have a penny unstuck from the roof of her mouth. The only reason I couldn’t get it out is because she was being hysterical and nearly hurt herself in the process. Removing it took 2 mins, a suction tube, and a q-tip. It cost us $300 out of pocket.
Lol what job did this replace? Also, while I obviously can’t speak for everyone, I wasn’t hiring artists for the “art” that AI is creating for me now. I was just going without. So no one is out a job.
Y’all, Helldivers 2 is just so much fun. I would not have assumed at the beginning of 2024, just after completing Baldur’s Gate 3, that I would be championing an always online squad shooter - but this game is just so damn enjoyable.

Step three is to be kind to yourself and your partner. Raising a kid can be mentally and physically draining at times. Give your partner some alone time, and take some alone time for yourself if at all possible.
Step 1 is fantastic, but step 3 is going to be mission critical. There will be times where you will feel like you can’t take one second more of screaming, or later one more “what do ducks do?”. Give yourselves time to disengage from the children. They really don’t require much hard work, but they do require nearly constant attention when they are young.
We’re all making this up as we go buddy. You’ll have good days and bad days. Don’t beat yourself up too much about the bad ones. Love your children, and don’t be afraid to tell them when you make mistakes.
I mean… Just open a Gmail account for spam and tie it to that. Creating a PlayStation account takes less than 5 min. I don’t see why you need a high security email to associate with a video game account, but different strokes right?
You have no right to hold this over people’s heads, and even implying a tit for tat arrangement is suggesting that anyone who doesn’t “do more than just vote” isn’t doing their part. Some of us have demanding jobs, kids, family that requires care, or other demands that do not allow time for political activity beyond voting which has already been made extremely difficult in some areas.
In short: get fucked. Go vote. Don’t try to create some kind of one-upsmanship game that predicates your civic responsibility on someone else’s volunteered time.
It’s intended to be hostile. Maybe you were “being cheeky” (I doubt it) but it doesn’t read that way in a text format and a lot of people making those same statements are not. What makes me so upset about this situation is people like yourself not taking it seriously. We are, without hyperbole, looking at an honest to God threat to democracy and you are making if/then statements about your willingness to vote. Trying to shame people into being more politically active is the wrong way to do it.
I am tired of people treating this like it’s a game, and I am tired of people being flippant about voting for the lesser of two evils.
The OP you’re replying to was clearly highlighting that Warren isn’t a candidate for President, but because you caught that it was a lack of nomination rather than a lack of primary campaign that totally invalidates their point!
They need your participation to keep the machine churning.
You are 100% incorrect about this. The system will continue regardless of your participation. Sitting on the sidelines and pouting about the rules being bad does nothing but make you look like a child.
