its so refreshing now that previously "fun, but underwhelming" loadouts r viable again. being able to run all-fire or all-laser builds and have them actually work as u would expect is insane
The new scythe feels like having heat vision against the smaller bugs with hunters and scavengers either dying instantly to the laser or a second after from the flame.
I'll have to give it a go, the laser cannon was good before and now it's even better. The dagger is actually pretty good too. The scythe before felt kinda like holding a magnifying glass to the sun to try and kill a giant to me but it actually looks fun now too.
Yeah I already liked the patriot though I wish it had more rockets but the emancipator felt rubbish before. Now it's pretty awesome, I just now feel like they need a better damage indicator and to add more uses and/or a way shorter CD. 10 mins is stupid.
Devs really said "fuck it everything is op now so everything is meta" 😂 this is what it was supposed to be from the start. Just pure fun shredding bugs and bots.
That is how everything should be. Nothing should be "meta" as everything should be viable. Now don't get me wrong the weapons should have strengths and work better against certain enemies so there is reason to switch things up between different enemy factions but no weapon should actively be "the best".
Except its not op. I played 5 games vs bots on Helldive, we extracted 2 out of 5. The game throws alot more hulks at u now, but also gives u the means to deal with them. I absolutely love it
One thing I’ve noticed is how much more variety we have now. Not just in weapon strategems, but other strategems too. When you don’t have to worry about bringing railcannon strike or 500kg every time, it really opens up doors
@musicarain4702 That could be true. I'll have to wait a few weeks and see where all of the weapons stand in the "Meta." Personally, the "Meta" is whatever I like using. Autocannon right now is killer. Flam-66 is goofy and fun to use. I tried the rail gun, but I didn't enjoy using it. HMG smacks hard. Zero ammo, though (just bring supply pack). Normal Liberator is so much fun. Concusive kinda blows, needs a minor increase to RoF(from 360 to 450), would work stellar.
My friend that hasn’t played since before escalation of freedom had fun, we were both using the same spear and gatling with breaker and it felt like launch again. Hard but fun
Finally we truly feel powerful but the game is still challenging And FINALLY the stupid big shrimps can be killed by every support weapon, it made NO SENSE that a .50 caliber machine gun, a 20mm autocannon and a damn LASER CANNON SO POWERFUL IT HAS A VISIBLE BEAM couldn't pierce their carapaces
My favorite gun now for bugs is the Scythe. It's so good. Also, I love the rr now. Being able to 1 shot anything given you headshot is so nice for high difficulty
They buffed so many weapons that needed it. Even the Lib.Concussive feels strong now! Also they made the Sickle sound good and the Scythe ACTUALLY good!
Orbital gas might have been nerfed with lower damage but the confusion on the enemies is like a 5x damage increase since they no longer just run out of the cloud right at you they are much more likely to blindly stumble around in the cloud. When I used it and threw on a breaches I somewhat often got 30-40 kill streaks, its very good.
The laser cannon was already pretty good against bots. Now is great and laser max is both fun and effective. Im gonna try anti tank stuff next since they've felt so lacking in ammo vs damage for ages
I loved the scythe before but it's so good to see it get some love. Still think it needs 3 pen but I'll take it. The pistol even seems much better, iv carried it alot lately
Tried the arc blitzed for the first time and was able to have some good fun with that, got vaporized by a teammate who pick one up from my corpse but that shit was funny as hell
What they should have always been. Though im still not really a fan of the gas strike changes it was fine at crowd control already. It got rid of all the small and medium enemies just fine
We have weapons, so they can now work at new content :D and if ppl feel like game is too easy now, AH gonna just adjust diffuclty, wait for 10+ BT 20+ charger spawns on breaches
@@Oznerol1234 Eruptor is amazing but sluggish,rewards your patience. Crossbow can be shoot one handed as well Grenade pistol lets you completely forget about grenades. Thats what demolition has to offer
@@FazeParticles I don't know about after today's patch, but at some point of time they made it to where it was not very accurate against Titans. It would often miss or hit the keg where before the majority of the beam would focus on the body.
How the fuck do you people enter strategem combos so fast? How do you do it while walking too? My WASD is disabled while the menu is open (as the directions are WASD bound) and the game doesnt register 60% of my inputs if i go faster than 1 direction per half second. Every youtuber ive seen has the strat finished before the menu even renders on screen.
macros and/or changing stratagem inputs to arrow keys + opening stratagem menu with a press instead of hold (e.g. walk with WASD, opening menu by pressing CTRL, input stratagem using arrows keys with other hand)
This game got way too easy. Helldive feels like Normal mode. I have 2 builds I like to use and I was holding lines and taking down everything and anything without moving from my spot. Before the patch, I had to pace backwards a few 50 feet. Big difference.
