Helldivers 2: We are constantly going to add free stuff and updates. |UP| "Escalation of Freedom" Announced, biggest update ever coming Aug. 6th.

[anonpuffs]

I'm hearing so much great feedback about this game, curious what make it so great? I'm on T8 and TR remastered but this could be my next purshase. I'm not into shooter but this seem to be something special

I almost never play shooters but helldivers definitely breaks the mold for me.


-great feeling weapons, that reward skilled play and punish you when you get sloppy
-constant tension during combat
-amazing cinematic experiences such as weaving through dozens of enemies and diving aboard the extraction shuttle
-decently varied gameplay and all future gameplay content will be free
-mtx currency can be earned in game at a very generous rate (if you focus on grinding them you can easily unlock the current battlepass in ~10-15 hours of playing)
-can range from a mild challenge to ballbreakingly difficult depending on what mission you pick. The feeling of completing a space nam mission and barely extracting is just so satisfying
-good, mostly non toxic community. 95% positive experiences playing with randoms both pc and ps5
-only $40, even if you only stick around for 20 hours it's still a great value

Aren't they moving too fast? I get they have revised their plans and maybe they'll do more and faster. But they have to adjust the trickle rate while keeping it interested if they don't want to ran out of content if it's not ready.

I think it's fine

Might feel so, but they can just add more factions if needed and make up new shit. I think they're having full support from Sony now as it's the only GaaS from their plans that hit their goal, which all they needed, which is just one successful GaaS to justify all of their 10 GaaS games projects.

I agree and if we are talking "new plans" I agree but let's not forget GT is a GaaS title as well since GT Sport and has been super succesful as well.and came along well before Helldivers 2.

Yeah meant their new GaaS plans. So far they should nurture Helldivers 2 and probably make a mobile game out of the 1st game.

Here is some hilarious shit.

As Helldivers 2 players report mystery blue laser beams and Illuminate sightings, its director is gaslighting again: "Blue beams aren't real, they can't hurt you"

This article has been flagged as "Illuminate propaganda" by the Ministry of Truth.

• Meteor Shower has received the following changes in addition to reduced spawn rate:

Reduced explosion radius
Reduced meteor damage slightly
Reduced meteor velocity slightly
Meteor color has been changed slightly to try and make it easier to spot.

• Volcanic Activity has received the following changes in addition to reduced spawn rate:

Reduced explosion radius
Reduced rock velocity slightly

• Lighting on Fenrir III has been adjusted to be a bit less bright to improve visibility during meteor showers.

Fixes

• Reduced incidents of patrols spawning on players.
• Exosuit no longer destroys itself when firing a missile while turning.
• Exosuit retains its melee functionality, even when damaged.
• Crash fixes for the following scenarios:

When ALT+Tabbing in fullscreen mode
After changing voice over language
PS5 boot issue
Using a stim inside of an Exosuit while wielding a grenade
When joining an ongoing mission
When idling on the title screen

• Shots from arc-based weapons, such as 'Blitzer' shotgun and 'AC-8 Arc Thrower' stratagem now count towards "Shots fired" and "Shots hit" stats.
• Fixed network desync issue with downed Automaton dropships.
• Fixed Elgato Stream Deck Foot Pedal support.

Known Issues
These are issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed.

• Various issues involving friend invites and cross-play:

Cross-platform friend invites might not show up in the Friend Requests tab.
Players cannot unfriend other players befriended via friend code.
Players cannot unblock players that were not in their Friends list beforehand.
Players cannot befriend players with Steam names shorter than 3 characters.

• Hellpod steering close to large or important objects is currently not functioning as intended, resulting in steering being disabled in a large area around the object.
• Online features are not functioning when console language is set to Ukrainian.
• Players may be unable to select loadout when joining a multiplayer via an activity card.
• Planet liberation reaches 100% at the end of every Defend mission.
• Drowning in deep water with a Vitality Booster equipped puts Helldiver in a broken state.
• Exosuits will sometimes be delivered in a damaged or broken state.
• Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.
• Pink artifacts may appear in the sky when setting off large explosions.
• Text chat box display is obstructed by the cinematic letterboxing during extraction.

snipped good stuff

Are you going to be on tonight? I finally finished Rebirth, so now Helldivers is my focus. I played for the first time last night since I played at release. I am still checking it out at Trival level to get a feel for the weapons and controls. Just hit Cadet 4.

Still no fix to this and worse, no acknowledgement that in some cases (like mine) the problem is not invites showing up or not, it's that you can't accept those invites (nor can others). Absolutely disgraceful, I literally have to have some common friend join a game quickly just to act as a hub for all of us.

Sometimes try always

These guys are absolutely terrible. They made a great game, but this shit is clearly glued with duct tape, thoughts and prayers, and spit.

Ps5 issue? On PC my loadout rarely gets reset, never on restart but sometimes when disconnecting it will reset to what it was before I joined a quickplay match

Yes, PS5 issues. Compared to my friends all on PC the PS5 version is way buggier. It's the Sony way of rewarding those that buy their console and pay for online.

That's a shame
