Didn't think I would and expected I'd refund, but the game is actually pretty relaxing. I'm only a few hours in so the mission types haven't gone stale yet.
>Heavy armor
>LMG
>Jetpack
Apart from the super jew DLC, yes
>>319646228
Are you talking about the two classes that were $4 or whatever? Yeah, seemed kind of ridiculous those didn't come with the game.
>>319646689
There's a total of 14 DLC packs and all of them have a pathetic amount of content.
>>319645793
Pirated it expecting new Alien Swarm, didn't like the slow pace and shit kb+m controls.
ADS in a twinstick shooter, fucking seriously?
>>319647148
>kb+m in a twinstick shooter

>>319645793
Played a good 4 hours today and enjoying it quite a bit. Lots of fun with friends and the friendly fire makes it hilarious to team kill accidentally. The keyboard and mouse controls are a bit clunky but you can just hook up a controller and play it that way.
>>319647269
I've been a fan of the genre since the original freeware Crimsonland, before twinsticks were even a thing.

I prefer my DS4 over the keyboard for this.

Well, thats just absolutely fan-fucking-tastic.
Fun while it lasted, probably going to get banned now.
Anyone know any more combos?
Shield pack + static field
Nuke rocket + reinforcement
Cardio accelerator + distractor field
Healing gun + turrets
Static field + resupply
>>319648040
That sux. Game is fun when u earn your stripes.
>>319645793
Its got the right amount of challenge, although it isnt very balanced.
All these DLC packs have added in so much new shit, and half of its useless.
>>319647148
>>319647269
>there are people that think kb+m for Helldivers is bad
>>319648429
I wouldn't say its all useless. Some of it is really good (anti tank grenades, anti tank turret, all terrain boots, beam gun, razorwire fence) and everything else is just variations of what was already available. I think only the motorbike is actually useless.
>>319648708
>I think only the motorbike is actually useless.
They should make it infinite.
No other vehicle is, and its not like having infinite of them on a 60 second cooldown would change anything.
I wanna buy it but i m concerned about having progress behind a paywall, is the game enjoyable without any DLC?
Are there more guns without having to pay for them?
The DLC is bretty gud, if you don't won't to spend extra cash on it, you're really not missing much. The God damn tank destroyer is a blast though.

>>319649036
The game is significantly BETTER without the DLC crap.
It's like the type of pre-order DLC for modern games that's either completely useless or makes the game laughably easy.
Stay the fuck away from the DLC.
>>319648040
Same shit for all of these co-op games. No anti-cheat at all so everyone just uses cheat engine.
You know I like the gameplay, but they could've at least given us some higher resolution textures for the PC release.

You can reverse it pretty easily, but still.

That being said you can get all the good stuff for around $20 anyway.
>>319650781
Any recommendations? The only ones I see that might be worth it are the All-Terrain shit and maybe the Demolitionist Pack, if only because it means I get a primary MG rather than having to drop one in.

Justice is my favourite regular ammo weapon while tanto is my default weapon when I and no one else brings resupplies.
Should I just get it on PS4 when I get a system? I don't like the thought of buying it, then hitting max level in one lobby because of hacks
>>319650936
The DLC laser rifle borders on overpowered. Everything else is pretty so-so.
>>319651269
That's up to you pretty sure the hacking thing will be fixed soon. PC is more comfy imo.
any Ps4 HD players in this thread
>>319649036
PS4 player here.
The only useful DLC items are the scout drone, demolisher satchels and that walker with an AT canon.
>>319650936
Defender, Demo (for the C4 moreso than the weapon), Specialist, Weapons are all pretty good. Vehicles is meh unless you play with people who know how to use the tank.
Hazard can be fun as well if you want a more powerful flamethrower except its acid. On the PS4 version the acid could kill literally anything, dunno if that was a bug or if its different now.
>>319651269
It isn't very likely to happen and you can reverse it with CE if you have to.
>>319651512
So I have to use cheat engine to reverse cheats that were inflicted on me?
It is pretty gun but in difficulties >9 all you do is run away.
Also Breaker best weapon.
>>319651573
The chance of it happening is miniscule
>>319650060
Lol
Scythe LR is better
>>319651823
And the Sickle LR renders every other LR obsolete.
>>319651269
Get it for Ps4
That's all I can say

>>319651403
I wouldnt call it OP but it is a very good all-rounder and not needing ammo means its perfect as a default weapon. If you want something specific (better range, more power, special ammo) you'll have pick something else. If im with a group that packs resupplies ill usualy choose the justice over the tanto.

What's the point of playing the game if you unlock the most powerful things at level 1 and have to have no challenge in working your way up?
>>319652314
Thise arc weapons are so shit. Bayonet attacks are better than the quick fire of an arc weapon and the ful charge cant even kill an elite in one shot.
>>319652504
That's the worst part of the DLC, you just unlock it at level 1 with no requirements. Shit's OP as fuck.
I had it for PS4 and I loved it but never had any friends to play with. Can be very frustrating when you get retards in your game
>>319652314
Fully-upgraded Justice is the best overall weapon.
>>319652690
It's pretty dumb.
If they combined all the DLC into a $15 expansion which added all these weapons and shit to the unlock list, it'd be so much better.
Instead it's, pay to unlock, and become OP. Or don't pay anything and have OP people join your game and kill your fun.
Any way to go no cape?
>>319652809
Just kick them.
>>319652504
The most OP weapon for newbs is the vanilla mech which you unlock from a level 6 world.
For veterans the most OP stratagem is the distractor beacon.
I really want to buy this an nuclear throne.
But my friends aren't really people the play games, and I really dislike playing with people over the internet because they're usually shit.
Is this game worth it? I'm hoping it goes on sale for about 10 or 15 in the winter sale.
>>319653021
It's fun in singleplayer and definitely doable, the harder missions will be virtually impossible however.
>>319653021
Helldivers has a pretty decent community that use the mic a lot. Not sure what its like on pc or if there is cross play with sony.
>>319653021
>I really dislike playing with people over the internet because they're usually shit
Everyone I've played with has been fine. I'm more disappointed in how easy the hardest difficulty is.
>>319653021
>just released
>thinking it will go on a significant sale the same month
nigga no, at best you'll get 10% off
and before you say it's been out for PS4 for a while, they're still jewing the shit out of everyone with the DLC crap
>>319653119
nah bugs are easy solo on any difficult.
anyone managed to get the MP working for pirate?
>>319653207
I dont give a shit about the DLC.
If I can get just the base game for about 15 bucks, that'd be fine with me.
>>319652504
When the game first launched everyone would cheese the missions in their mechs. Dlc opened up the game for more diverse builds.
>>319653246
This. I think cyborgs are the hardest race, just feels like a never ending tank rape train.
>>319653289
SmartSteam. Not the old steam client mod but the new complete emulator.
>>319648040
I remember there's an option to delete your progress on the ps3 version. Haven't bought the game so not sure if it applies here, but I'm sure it might be there considering it's a port. Yeah, it sucks to have your progress deleted because of an idiot
Is it able to run on potatoes?
>>319653654
Cyborgs will fuck your shit if you don't have AT on each soldier.
Illuminate will just annoy the shit out of you with long range attacks, instakill barriers and mind frays. You don't need AT though.
Bugs are okay i guess.
>>319651407
What if they are ps4 non hd?
>>319652935
>distractor beacon
Yeah, it's one of the best stratagems of the game, just hope teammates understand the point of it and run away. It makes extractions really quiet for around a minute.
>>319653895
Pre update Illuminates were the hardest, Illusionists could reverse your controls for ages and the AOE on their attacks was brutal.
>>319653451
You still run out of ammo. The only way to do that would be having 15 mechs and 1 healgun
>mfw PKeks pretend to know anything about this game
>mfw PKeks received the objectively worst version of the game
>>319651407

>>319654248
Mechs used to have way more ammo.
>People still using mechs
>Not getting into a full infantry squad and having infinitely more fun than if you did with mechs.
The funny thing is in harder missions i actually had a much easier time without using mechs.
>>319654478
That's true though, I remember reading the patch notes and it said something about that
>>319654674
Mechs are really slow, but you still have an extra life. With a healgunner, you are invincible (well, anyone/anything) unless one shotted
Favourite loadout?
Justice
Displacement field
Resupply
EAT-17
Humblebee drone
EXO-44 walker
>>319654776
Yeah the healgun is very underused imo, ive only come across a handful of players that use it. Im contemplating using it next time i play see if its any fun.
>>319655005
Max leveled is kind of op, it has a three way ray. You trade firepower for survivability. It also heals escorts and mechs. You can "stunlock" certain enemies with a downed team mate. Ray makes them go up, enemy will keep meleeing him non stop.
>>319654674
In level 10+ missions you need speed to win. Sitting around killing enemies will get you overrun in no time. Mechs can hold their own on higher levels but run out of ammo too quickly and then become useless. The best set up is a bunch of fast moving troopers that just run from objective to objective and ignore enemies as much as possible. Distractor beacon is godly at the higher levels.
>>319654906
Breaker
Displacement Field
Personal Shield
Railcannon Strike
EAT-17
Lumberer Exosuit
Although i mostly replace the exosuit eith AT mines depending on the enemy type.
>>319655005
It combos well with turrets/towers.
>>319655005
It's pretty useless desu senpai. At higher levels instagibs are the norm, and vehicles and turrets become pretty bad. Even before then, you're better off shooting the enemies around a downed team mate. It also takes up a valuable AT slot.
The one exception might be pairing it with the tesla tower on captures and extractions.
>>319655443
>tfw want to unlock the distractor beacon
>Mission wont be available for another 2 days
Same goes for the las cannon
> Can't change secondary weapon without DLC.
Fucking lol.
>>319655716
The dlc pistols take up the perk slot so it isn't worth it whatsoever. Besides the pistol you start out with is perfectly fine.
>>319654906
Can't remember exactly but
LAS-5 Scythe
Displacement field/Cardio Accelerator/MD-99 Autoinjector
EAT-17/RL-112 Recoilless Rifle
Distractor Beacon
REP-80
Can't remember the last one but I'm sure it depended on the mission and enemies. Probably M5-32 HAV
>>319653405
It's about 15 bucks on g2a
That's where I got it
>>319655462
I usually only use the exo for extractions.
>>319656215
I usually run beam weapons (usually tanto) for survival missions so i dont have to worry about reloading or managing my ammo, but the special ammo is too good to pass up in regular missions.
>>319654438

There's a working multiplayer crack. Makers are called REVOLT I think.
>Bug boss spawns Tentacle bugs when its low on health
>>319660451
Those tentacle bugs are fucking assholes. Instant fail if one spawns next to your missile silo. They did make the bugs a bigger threat though, they were pushovers before.
Played on PS4 once, going to wait for a sale before i buy it on either steam or PS4, theres way to many separate DLC items, they should at least combine them into bigger content packs.
>>319661935
Even worse it's the type of dlc that shouldn't cost more than 50 cents but they're fucking 3€ each.
>>319661935
I know theres already a bundle for all the dlc, as well as two smaller bundles which each only contain 3 dlc. (Total of 14)
>>319661816
>3 tentacles with relatively large aoe instantly down you when hit.
At least they're alot easier to deal with compared to these assholes.
Trying to convince my friends to play this since it's cheap and we need something new to play, impossible mode would be to try and convince them all to not get the DLC items since they seem to either be gamebreaking or useless depending on which packet.
>>319662690
None are really game breaking (there are a few really good ones) and none are really useless (at worst they are just reskins).
Did not expect the game to be 6 gig size wise.
>goy out for deluxe edition
>realize all the dlc is garbage and just use the minigun exo on everything
EVEN IN DEATH I STILL SERVE
>>319665487
Emperor bless you Tankred.
>>319652363
It's actually broken. Fully upgraded, as long as you tapfire you will never ever reach heat limit. It does solid dmg for a carbine as well.
Been having tons of fun with it myself
The shoulder mounter lascannon is pretty sick
>>319661816
They only spawn near you or your team mates. Stay away from silos on bug missions.
>>319669730
Since youre usually in a tight circle around the silo to fend off attacks from all sides it is not uncommon for tentacles to spawn right next to the silo. The bug has a long range too so you wont know youre fucked until its right on top of you.
can I just pirate this?
>>319671347
Well shooting the front of the tentacles causes him to pull up the old ones quickly so you do have that going for you if you catch him.
FOR FREEDOM!
>>319671347
That's why you have to hope your team mates aren't retards and know how to fan out.
