@OPgamingstyle 23 дня назад

@@Largentina. Do you know how many people in the U.S. Military or any military in general don't know why guns are designed the way they are and also have no clue about ballistics? Unless it was your job to know (Armorer or similar or some kind of trainer who specialized in teaching terminal ballistics) then it's likely you were told something and didn't need to remember it so you didn't. Ask most grunts in any modern military about the differences between certain rounds or the same rounds with minor differences between them and unless they are gun nerds they likely won't know the science behind it. Let me ask you though... Looking at the newest AR as an example. Where the hell does the bolt go? There is so little room between the end of the stock and the ejection port that it would have to jam into your shoulder if it functioned properly. That is unless the bullet is smaller or shorter. But the description says it's a larger caliber. I guess you could argue the round itself is thicker and shorter to make the bolt cycle without sticking out the end of the stock. Oh but that would mean that there would be more recoil! Except it has the least recoil out of the bunch. Well there could be some sort of recoil dampener! No there's not enough room though. So which weapons expert worked on it exactly? That's just one gun and not all of them are offenders but to say "their default military training" was enough to make then experts is just not true. Sorry for the wall though. I doubt you'll read it all and it's understandable.

I think the biggest disappointment for me is the fact the armor sets don't help at all in the cold. Like, this is the POLAR PATRIOTS warbond. I would imagine the armor for PATRIOTS who fight in POLAR CLIMATES would be like something. idk, no sliding on ice, no slow down through thick snow, maybe a helmet in the future could give a buff to being able to see in better in blizzards. Just, idk I feel like it's a missed opportunity And I know that like, that'd be a very specific armor buff. But to me, personally. I don't see hyper specific armor buffs to be a bad thing. Every armor in the free warbond is usable for general use, and even going into the other warbonds they offer incredibly versatile buffs too. Having a few armor sets that help in very specific environments wouldn't be a bad thing imo. Especially because a certain socialist robot planet is a snow planet heheheheh

I completely see the logic, but because not all worlds are available all the time, this does mean that there's a chance you spend real money on something that gives you zero value some of the time. Which would be a real shame. You might also feel obliged to use it on snow planets 100% of the time when they are available, thus actively reducing your options.

So arrowhead just gave a “high caliber assault rifle” that cannot penetrate anything above a warrior. Nice arrowhead

@malfeastial 23 дня назад

"increased stopping power" Even though the starting rifle is better in every way besides maybe physical design? They should make the penetrator anti heavy armor and the new assault rifle anti medium armor. Their balancing team should be studied on how it's humanly possible that they are so out of touch.

@Evolution_Kills 23 дня назад

Eh. High Caliber =/= Armor Penetration. You can have large heavy bullets with a lot of kinetic force that are crap at armor penetration (e.g. .45 ACP of the Colt 1911 pistol), and smaller lighter bullets with absurd velocities are are purpose built to penetrate armor (e.g. 5.7x28mm of the FN P90 PDW). The weapon does for sure need a rework. Pre Liberator buff, it would have had a place as the higher damage alterative. But now? It desperately needs more damage and/or some other mechanic (armor penetration, stagger, etc.) to make it stand out from the Liberator and its Concussive/Penetrator variants.

@kingcrab7837 20 дней назад

@NoUniqueUsername yeah fair enough the whole set just seems bad. I think it's silly to pump out so much updates if they aren't going in any interesting direction. The last two warbonds didn't even have unique armour buffs. And it's pretty obvious they could've made a simple upgrade like reduce the effect of snow and blizzards.

@Warfoki 23 дня назад

The thing is, they need to bring in the money. Especially after they went up against Sony, Sony will 100% expect them to bring in the profit, beyond just covering operational costs. And if warbonds are like this, where nothing in them is worthwhile, then a LOT less people will hurry it up and just pay for the unlock. Them bringing warbonds with really underwhelming weapons and boosters is just not viable financially. And in this particular warbond... the Pummeler seems alright, everything else is straight up filler garbage. I could buy it for $10, but... why would I waste my money on that, when I literally have no intention to use pretty much any of those weapons?

@@johsmith2481 That's literally pay to win... you have to grind quite a lot to get 1000 SC. I never paid for a warbond so far but I also have 200 hours clocked. That's close to addiction level gaming. A guy who wants to kill some bugs in that 1 hour or half hour after their kids went to bed would have to grind 3-4 month to get enough for one warbond, while 3-4 more are released. Your original post fits the narrative, they do not want OP MEta weapons in their warbonds so far. Sony already got 900% more money than they expected from the game. The problem is that hardcore gamers hate pay to win but want to pay for the best weapons to feel super OP. But sorry to say bro, a level 90 Galactic Commander has currently the same equipment as a level 20 sergeant. And that's fine.

I feel like the developers have no idea how real guns operate and just come up with random stats. How could the tenderizer, which is classified as a high caliber assault rifle with more stopping power have the same armor penetration and damage as the standard/1st assault rifle in the game, yet has less recoil? Higher caliber guns have higher recoil. They also have higher damage and higher armor penetration. all these developers need to do is hire one person that has knowledge about guns, make them in charge of balancing the weapons, and this game will become unbelievably fun overnight.

I think the Tenderizer also only gets back 5 mags when you use a resupply box as well, and 2 from an ammo container you find around the map. It's almost like its from a build prior to the last balancing patch. It also doesn't have the "stopping power" that is promised by using a higher caliber round that led to it having a smaller magazine size. I interpreted stopping power as stagger.

i think the tenderizer would be neat if it had super high damage, like 80 - 100 but it still only had that light armor penetrating and a bigger mag, so if you get past that armor you can really chew enemies up, think it would make it more interesting and give it more of a niche. would also make it really good against chaff

@RBlacksmith 23 дня назад

So this is just a theory about the underwhelmingly power state of these weapons and the big amount of nerfs to others in previous patches: I heard from Helldivers 1 players that there was kinda of a prestige/mastery system for each weapons in H1 that improved their stats depending on how many enemies you've killed with said weapons. (I might be wrong with this) Maybe that devs are working on a system like that for H2 where you maybe have to reach a certain amount of kills with each weapons and/or pay req slips and/or samples to upgrade their stats? which is something that will encourage players to pick a weapon that they like dispite its power and grind to make it better? That could give slips and samples a new purpose and make players feel rewarded for mastery certain weapons and builds. I personally would love something like that. Keep up the good work btw

@nokturnallex2160 23 дня назад

The way it worked in Helldivers 1 was the samples. You collected samples each mission with harder missions having more samples and you spent the samples on upgrading the weapons and strategems. This allowed you to specialize your loadout when first starting out and gave you more overall progression in the long run. Think they replaced that though with the Blanket Ship Upgrades that only slightly buff multiple things in Helldivers 2. I'd love to be wrong and hope they do add upgrades for individual weapons and strategems but I'm pressing X to doubt seeing as they're being forced to spend so much development time on Warbonds, Warbonds they're pushing out half-baked and underdeveloped.

@xRPRx 23 дня назад

has nothing to do with prestige/mastery or being linked to kills. u pick up 10 samples and it gives u a research point. u can use the research point to upgrade a weapon along a specific tree or to upgrade stratagems, also along a specific tree. for example, the sickle had upgrades which increased the heat capacity and the EAT had an upgrade that gave it an aim laser.

@Paleocean 23 дня назад

I’m a Hd1 vet and unfortunately I doubt that system will come into Hd2 in any meaningful capacity. The upgrades were cool things like making the gun ap, adding stun round, bayonets etc. and gave a reason to stick with a weapon you liked. For some reason they decided to gut that system and add these upgrades as their own weapon so upgrades if they did add it in hd2 would be things like different sights and maybe mag types at best. Honestly it seems like they got rid of the system just so they can advertise them as “new weapons” without having to make them meaningfully different. Hopefully I’m wrong tho.

I found that the revolver has really good synergy with the Pummeler SMG. You can just stun medium armored enemies like Hive Guards then pull out the revolver and unload on the stunned enemies where they would die in about three shots to the head. It take a little more time for Brood Commanders but is still really effective. Thanks to the speed loader on the revolver you can easily stun and reload. Coupled with the fact that you can run away at max speed and still hip fire full auto with near perfect accuracy means you could kite almost all bugs even in heavy armor and stop headless bug charges. I initially thought the load out and the play style I thought off would be pretty niche and situational. But found that in Helldive difficulty, it turned out to be so effective, I was using it all the time. And it was really fun and satisfying doing so.

Or.. or hear me out. I know this is pretty controversial idea.. How about use a single gun that is able to do that ?

@@_Lunaria Well, yes some weapons could do that. Penetrator and the different Breaker shot guns for example. But that's not the point really. This is more of an active playstyle where you could switch up mid fight as a strategy for change instead of just using one and only one gun though out the mission. And besides, the Pummeler is still good even with out the revolver. If you wanted to just take the Pummeler and the grenade pistol for utility, it's completely viable. Also I never justified Arrowhead to release bad guns. This is just something to break up the usual take one and go deal.

@Magnushamann 23 дня назад

To me, it seems like a very smart move for them to design the weapons underpowered in this warbond. They must have clearly learned something. Because the community cannot handle rebalances when power is taken out of things that are obviously too powerful, then it is a much better move to desing something underwhelming and rebalance it once they see how it interacts with the playerbase. It is impossible to hit it right the first time. I love the eruptor design... since it came out. BUT I hated how bad it was for the game. Because it was able to do everything... I think it is much better balanced now. I still think it is a little too good - because low mag size is not that much of a problem with a weapon that is used at a far... I think it should maybe still have its explosion radius reduced a little (which in turn would mean that the crossbow would become more valuable as a crowd-control explosion weapon). The idea that things "don't have to be balanced in a PVE game" is ridiculous. If the eruptor was kept too powerful. The internet would be flooded with Drake memes of the new warbond weapons each time they released a new warbond... drake rejecting "the new weapons" and liking "the eruptor"... which would force the devs into developing more powerful weapons in new warbonds. And then make the previous weapons more powerful. And as a result, make the game easier... And the game does not need to be easier!

@Warfoki 23 дня назад

@@Magnushamann "which would force the devs into developing more powerful weapons in new warbonds." That is going to happen anyway and it is unavoidable. If warbonds come with downgrades and at best, sidegrades, a lot less people will be in a hurry to shell out money for those warbonds, which is financially not sustainable. Powercreep in live service games is not a bug, it's a necessary feature. Of course the speed of powercreep matters and when you have super strong weapons to start with, it will be a lot faster, but it will happen anyway. For me, personally, I still have other things to buy in the older warbonds and I see no reason to even bother unlocking this new one, as practically nothing in here looks likea direct upgrade to anything I already have. The Pummeler seems okay, the rest is pure garbage.

A good combo with the Pummeller is running it alongside the Senator. I was playing Solo and had a map where I had a lot of Bile Spewers and no real good way to deal with em as I brought the Recoilless with me, so what I did was I waited for them to rear up to start spewing, pumped a few Pummeller shots into them to guarantee the stun, then switch to the Senator to plant 2-3 shots into the Spewer's face and put it down either before it can recover or before it can spew again. Wasn't perfect, especially when there's multiple, but it is a better option than just dumping mag after mag into its face hoping it dies. You can do something similar to Devastators, pump a few shots into their stomach or arm (somewhere where the shots actually work) and while they're stunned hit them in the face with the Senator, though that will probably be slower than just shooting them in the face with the Pummeller, but it's stylish, especially if your character spins the revolver when you draw it.

Jar and Scythe also really need longer ranged scopes but just are stuck with red dots. I'm fairly confident the purifier is bugged at the moment because the description pre patch included "The longer you can hold your nerve, and the trigger, the bigger the damage." which sure, is flavor text, but that would be unnecessarily misleading if that wasn't the intended case. It's currently like a charge up punisher plasma, which sounds good to me. Just need that clarification/bug fix since it's hard to use and understand if it's not working properly. Overall it's not like the warbond is really that bad, we got two really good options, a fun one in the grenade, and one weapon that needs a bug fix, and... honestly the tenderizer has got to have something weird on the back end going on. Like it can't have medium armor pen because then the Lib-P is completely outclassed. It can't stay at just 60 damage not even because it's identical to the base liberator but that makes it 10 points less damage and 10 less capacity than the SMG Defender with no real upsides. I really thought they were going to go Starship Troopers and give it poke levels of damage but a huge clip to compensate. I would like to see that still though their flavor text suggested they intended it to be a more limited capacity high damage rifle. So I believe it's also just bugged. There are other, hidden stats that make up how damage is calculated and it's possible it's suppose to have a much higher 'durable damage' bonus or hit 'squishy parts' even harder. Considering the texture was bugged and we got a green gun instead of a black one, and yeah there's gotta be something deeper going on with it.

The base 250 and up to 500 damage at max charge range would be just right considering how slow it is to fire, IMO.

The new booster definitely cuts the timer in which you are slowed in half, if you want a faster speed while you're slower, muscle enhancements your go to

I loved the original incendiary but changed to the impact grenade when I got it. Now I can have both in 1 so that alone is worth it to me.

New booster DOESN'T work against Bile Titans specifically. Others have said it reduces other acid slowing effects by roughly 80%. Most have said to pair it with the muscle booster to see the best results.

Brood commanders head has thicker armor…shoot their legs with tenderizer and it rips them to shreds then a few body shots finishes them off. Spewers face still takes a decent amount of ammo to take them out. But I honestly feel like it has some hidden bonus limb/weakspot damage

Motivational Shocks if it works properly would be great against hunters buuut, it sounds like its not working properly. Muscles Enhancements does this already and works properly so will probably still stick with that until they fix the new booster

about the booster, the musuel enhancement have similar effect that can reduce the effect of acid

The purifier just doesn’t have a justifiable function. If you reduce the charge time 25-50% or bump the damage it might have a use

Brood commanders are light armor in the head, hive guards are medium, bile spewer has medium, shoot the commanders legs out, white hitmarkers mean reduced damage, red hitmarkers mean full damage, sheild icon means none. Another thing, the te.derizer we currently have, may be the unpolished version as the dev teams art designer has confirmed "it should NOT be green"

Nice breakdown of the new weapons. 👌
