Im bummed its another board game with a small base and a ton of expensive expansions, unfortunately that is the thing board games are all doing right now.

Also, expected delivery in October 2026, ooof.

I can’t tell if it means general eagle strat cooldown or specifically the Eagle Re-Arm stratagem. To be honest, I don’t think I have ever used Eagle Re-Arm in almost 300 hours

 
 

Another peek at General Brasch’s personal armory I suspect

Oh man, I just read the only way to reload it is to have a team reload

Classic Arrowhead patch

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Fixed shooting and reloading issues with laser weapons

RIP Brasch's quasar, you will be missed until next patch when it breaks again

Fixed issue on Illuminate Defend Evacuation Site missions where illuminate dropships stopped coming if too many were destroyed before they dropped off the enemies.

I was wondering what was going on, had multiple missions in a row where we basically just stood there a few minutes in until the rockets all launched

Try equipping different weapons aboard your ship, by the way.

Yep out-ranging seems to be the way, it is tough to do if you join in progress and they’re in the middle of a fight already. I had a Helldive mission last night where I JIP’d, tried to get some distance, and no matter which direction I went I either ran into a patrol or fully defended POI, felt like I spent half of the entire mission just sprinting and stimming lol

I’ll have to try the WASP out, I used it to liberate the Voteless when it was available to all, but haven’t brought it into a bug or bot mission.

 

My typical bot loadout has been:

  • Medic perk armor
  • Diligence Counter Sniper
  • Stim Pistol
  • Thermite
  • Stratagems:
    • 500kg
    • Orbital Walking Barrage
    • Quasar
    • AT Emplacement

But, with the IC, I’ve been running and avoiding catching on fire too much to get the emplacement down until extraction, so I have replaced it with the shield generator backpack. If the planet has the DSS barrage perk, I’ll swap the orbital walking with an auto cannon sentry, but I might do that swap always because it distracts the devastators.

I don’t have the fire resistance armors, otherwise I’d consider those, but having the medic perk with the stim pistol has been really useful to help fellow divers save stims.

The temporary access to General Brasch’s specially modified Quasar has been nice, but there’s no way this stays around

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Sounds unintentional if they’re already working on a fix

Like someone said in the original post, I’m surprised people are trying to play any modern game with a 13 year old or more CPU.

Join other divers! I can maybe think of one or two matches in about a year that had a mean or toxic player, don’t be afraid to use the quickplay button from the galactic map! HD2 shines when you’re with other players. If you want the best chance of finding people, pay attention to the population count of the planet you’re diving on, which pops up when you hover over a planet or sector.

Don’t feel pressured to use a mic, the in game responses (yes, no, thank you, sorry, need supplies, wait, follow me) are great and so is chat

Try everything! New weapons, stratagems, etc.

 

The E/GL-21 is a grenade launcher emplacement stratagem which also deploys a protective barrier

  • Fixed an issue for the gas weapons, throwables and stratagems inverting the movement input for the Helldiver

I thought it was an interesting effect, but definitely annoying. If they go down the disorientation route, I would hope they reduce or remove the damage

My first SWE job out of college in 2019 they were still using SVN because none of the seniors could be bothered to learn how to use git.

The “well this is how we’ve always done it” attitude had a death grip on that place

TLDR:

"Actually, we got a message from the UN asking if we want to talk, in some form, about psychological defense against manipulation," added Pilestedt. This might all sound like the game is getting a little too real, but he said the key was in finding the right tone and using the imagery in an almost educational way: "We do it all in fun and good spirits, and we actually try to get people to recognize the science of what is a totalitarian state. If you start wearing the same uniform as everybody else and do salutes constantly, you might be in a totalitarian regime."

 

Reports say they have the ability to spawn groups of regular bots, heavier units such as hulks, and even tanks.
