Might get it and I have a friend who just got it

You're telling me, reshade doesn't work for me, and performance mods and some cosmetic mods also don't work for me for some god awful reason. So I have to run this game at some pretty bad FPS, it looks worse, it crashes more, and I had to troubleshoot the game to even get it working on Warbond launch day.

All of that, just to see people bypassing EAC day one, spawning super credits via drop pods, and some game breaking mods have bypassed it already.

This update was objectively worse for people who didn't cheat than for people who did.

This is insane to me. Please tell me no one went higher...

Once again, here to point out power creep. This has got to be one of the most insane examples of power creep we’ve gotten.

Both stratagem snipers completely blow our previous long range precision weapons out of the water. The railgun especially struggling to stay relevant as unlike the railgun these things actually get good scopes!

Don’t get this the wrong way, I’m loving this warbond because I’m a huge fan of the sniper style-of-gameplay in helldivers 2. However, the previous options are basically irrelevant now, and I think that’s a problem.

The Nova being basically the railguns and AMR’s complete replacement. With the railgun and AMR you had to be SPOT ON with the aim to hit a hulks eye for the 1. If you missed even by a hair you got nothing and the shot was wasted. But in the novas case, it seems to have a far more forgiving area of effect for the 1 shot making it far easier to actually play in a long range, weak-point-picking play style.
Coupled with a better scope than the railgun, infinite ammo, and it doesn’t explode if you charge it for too long. Let me also remind you that these things 1 shot every enemy up to a hulk, the AMR not being able to 1 shot devastators anywhere on the body, and even the railgun being pretty spotty with it.

Our new sniper stratagems are actually usable at very long distances while our previous ones struggled at medium distances (for a sniper), due to the level of precision you needed to hit a hulks eye while it was moving.

So I’m gonna put it this way. What we need are new weapon concepts. Right now, it doesn’t feel like our weapons roster is getting any bigger, it feels like the new stuff is replacing the old stuff. For example, the sai in a way replaced the double-edge sickle. Like what if we got cryo weapons that focused on freezing enemies? Or sonic weapons that focused more on confusing enemies or immobilizing them. New weapon concepts is the solution to solving the power creep. If the weapon is a fresh concept and does something DIFFERENT than what we already have, then it’s much easier to have it do its own thing in a synergy with what we currently have access to. But right now what we are getting is: “the next machine gun” “the next sniper” “the next explosive weapon” and they either end up being a pale imitation of current metas like the GL-15 evictor vs previous crossbow/ eruptor. Or we get weapons that outpace current options such as this, the nova vs the railgun. I’m saying this as a pretty big railgun user and it’s sad to say that idk if ima pick up the railgun again.

The problem is we are getting the same exact weapons, but either better or worse. We need actual new stuff.

Edit: I think they must’ve fixed the host bug. Because I did some testing today, the damage was the same for me and a friend. He was host and I was joining.

It was 1 to a gunship engine. At any distance.

1 to a warstrider joint or eye, at any distance.

3 to a fabricator, at any distance.

1 to the back of a tank turret, at any distance.

1 to a small turret at any distance.

1 to a hulk eye, 3 to the body at any distance.

I believe it was 3 to a factory strider eye, and 5 to the face. Any distance. (Ok retested it it’s 2 to the eye, and I believe 3 to the face)

Turrets like the mortars and AA turrets were also 1 shot at any distance.

And any unit less than a hulk was 1 shot on a body shot.

I am a terrible artist but in no way form or fashion would I ever derive from AI. It may be terrible, but atleast it's man-made trash.

Idk, but I was struck with these ideas (first time for everything I guess) whilst on the way home. Are they bad ideas? Maybe. I dunno. I just wanted to put them out there. Do what you will with these, I literally could not care less. It's not stealing because I'm claiming no ownership over it (aside from the fact that it was my idea originally, this I am very proud of).

And if Arrowhead sees this (they're 100% not but here's hoping); I love your game :3

Additional ideas and questions if you need to ask are accepted, let's just be civil and respectful with the comments, please.

I know the reputation Reddit has.

Hey guys, a bit of a silly question: why aren't there any laser machine guns? Personally, I think that would be awesome. The laser MG shouldn't fire a continuous beam, though—more like a regular machine gun, but with tracer rounds, level 3 armor penetration, and incendiary effects. What do you think of this idea?

Whats going on ?

Made this in my free time at work. I'll admit the sword design could use a touch up alongside some of the kerning, but I thought you would enjoy

let me tell you how much ive come to HATE these undemocratic peices of scum ever since i was concieved. If every organelle of every cell ive ever had throughout my entire life had hate engraved in it, it wouldnt even be equivalent to 1 / googleplextillion to the pure tetration of 1 googleplextillion to the height of 25, of the amount of insurmountable hatred i feel for aliens and robots in this nanosecond. For they are not created in the image of GOD, of DEMOCRACY, of LIBERTY, and i wish for the enemies of super earth to not only be pulverized, but i want them to FEEL every cell, slowly ripped from their figure, one by one. They deserve nothing but the deepest pits of hell, and if i ever see one, ill make sure thats where they are. and thats all they will ever know from now on.

Non stop crashes no matter what I do no matter the update. And it's only thing fucking game. I tried everything but nothing helps. Worse part is it's at the end of the fucking mission so I get fucked out my medals. I'm pretty much done with this dogshit game. Not because of the controversy but if my 5070 can't run it it's bs. And this didn't just start happening this has been going on non stop and I'm sick of it

This is the third time I've watched the liberation percentage for Fury reach 99%, then stop progressing.

Then it starts to decline as people leave, thinking the liberation needs to update, but then the liberation starts decaying because people are leaving.

Seems like our Liberty Day reward is that we're just not allowed to complete the MO, regardless.

Please get this fixed and under control Arrowhead. What is even happening right now?

Showed a newby how to get into a bunker with his mech (backup on it, exit mech). He managed to get in, I got out with his mech, moved it two steps away and left the game.
In my defense: I gave him a laugh emo before leaving.
So, if you see someone in a bunker typing "help!", that's him; be nice to him.

Saw it at like 99% and it's not moving. Not that I'd be surprised if something broke, but that would really suck.

So... I'm pretty sure this guy is a cheater but still... Never seen anything so high... And we did succeed the mission. We even extracted and everything since he really was playing with us... But DAMN... Ever had anything similar guys ? Because 1 million in friendly fire is insane to me

This is what we’ve been missing for a while now!

does anyone else think the leviathan ships are extremely unfair their lasers they have no cooldown, they shoot for way to long, and it can be like 3 different ships in one area the ships need a nerf or just need to be gone entirely I can't focus on the ship to kill it when I have a billion enemies trying to get me even if I could the health on it s insane

am I just bad at the game or does anyone agree with me

I see a lot of people running the new Sightliner Sniper Rifle in Bot Missions. Isn‘t the AMR better in every metric? Higher fire rate, more damage (=faster time to kill), the projectile of the AMR seems bigger, which in my experience makes it easier to hit the eyes of the factory striders. Am I missing something?
