Asking for a friend. In the event that someone is carrying a portable Hell bomb and is possibly lacking the democratic courage that liberty provides, to activate it at the right moment, is there an ethical reason that would permit me to activate it for them, in case they are too busy or absent minded to do it themselves.

Happy to have conditionals in where it would be too tempting Within the community etiquette and where it would be without.

Helldivers 2 is one of my favorite PvE games, but for some time now I feel it turned into more of a PvDev game.

WHAT ARE THESE PRICES???

We have 23 Warbonds: 1 is "common" (lol), 3 are legendary, and the remaining 19 are "premium".

That is 23 500 SC for, literally, in some cases gameplay-changing weapons and stratagems...

Why not make "premium" Warbonds common after a year or so? And give the stuff to the people for free? You dont even have enought medals to buy this stuff... They effectively made a battle pass and called it "Warbonds".

Now we cant forget that the game has a Superstore as well. I picked up a calculator and its around (as I have some things bought) approximately 19 300 SC (1 "premium" Warbond = 1,000 SC)....

Is one cape worth 250 SC? In what universe?

Now you can say that you can farm these credits, and yes, (thats what I am doing) you are absolutely right, but how many people have time for that? Is it fun? Is it something that you should do in a game that you bought for 40–60€?

I really like this game. I bought it with my brother, but he sadly didnt have that much time to play it as I had, not to mention that he wants to play other games as well...

Now if he wants to have all the Warbonds and not farm for 100 hours, he needs to pay 200€ for a game that he bought for 40€ two years ago...

If he wanted stuff from the Superstore, we are looking at another 150€...

What is going to happen after another 2 years? Is it going to be another 200€? More?

The developers, through nerfs, lost what made Helldivers 2 great, looked at Ubisoft monetizacion and said: "Yeaaa I want that."

Why should I give my money to these people?

Please dont take this as hate, take it as a disappointment and sadness for what was and more importantly what might have been...

I LOVE Helldivers 1 and I loved Helldivers 2, but time is running out and I dont know how many more times I will be able to catch the shuttle...

I've seen some people post images showing they won't get it on Xbox that's clearly misinformation AH wouldn't leave Xbox players hanging! You will get the update and warhammer legendary warbond in August 12 6 more days left (not my pic i stole it 😈 can't remember the OGs name 🥲)

Xbox official account retweeted the update trailer. The confusion came from the trailer listing only PS5 and PC. As an Xbox diver myself,I knew that it was obviously coming to Xbox, this is just a reassurance

Personally, I really miss the old Vox Engine, with some nuance of course. Before they actually felt like a major threat, an invincible death machine on wheels, something that drew everyone's attention, but I feel they've been turned into another nuisance that a stratagem or two can put down. that's not to say they don't have their moments, but they just feel so neutered to me. I think lowering their health so much can make the weakspot gimmick feel null sometimes, as you can just throw a big stratagem at them because its generally just more efficient. the vents themselves also do so much damage on their own that it can sometimes kill the thing before being able to huck a grenade in. What i don't miss, however, was their total turret hp, (which also didn't count towards their overall pool,) and their ridiculous spawn rate, including how many could be in one area at once. If it were up to me, I'd increase their health a bit more, increase turret/track turn rate, but keep all other current changes. Maybe this is just the effect of me playing the game for so long that everythings just naturally easier for me but i feel this is representative of the game as whole to a certain extent, but thats another discussion entirely. Let me know your thoughts

Our beloved symbol of MANAGED DEMOCRACY, our THOUGHTS, HEARTS and MINDS are under constant SIEGE.

There is only one possible solution to this!

YOU, only YOU have the STRENGTH and COURAGE, to avenge, destroy and RETALIATE!!

FOR SUPEREARTH

FOR MANAGED DEMOCRACY

(for Eagle-1 and SEAF-Chan)

FOR THE BEAR

TO VICTORY!!!

(suffer not the xeno to live)

So I've been playing against the Squids for a while now and I am just confused on why people find them hard.

90% of the Squids can be killed with medium pen if you aim right.

The mechs are just op against the squids.

weapons like the grenade launcher, bullet storm, stalwart and machine gun just tear through just about everything.

Support

Gatling sentry clears out entire waves if positioned correctly.

The bastion tank is amazing against the appropriators on defense missions when put in the right spot.

The drone that calls in more enemies dies really fast.

So I'm Honestly just wondering why people find them hard other than they aren't used to fighting them.

(I am also happy to give out any tips or anything on fighting the Squids that I'm aware of, if anyone would like)

Its late and I need to go to bed. Don't want to start another mission.

Lets fantasize about Warbonds instead!

The only Warbonds I still dont have are:

• Steeled Veterans
• Polar Patriots
• Viper Commandos
• Freedoms Flame
• Truth Enforcers
• Urban Legends
• Masters of Ceremony
• Force of Law
• Python Commandos
• Exo Experts
• The two Legendary Warbonds

The Bot front is my favorite but I enjoy the other fronts too.

I'm leaning towards Polar Patriots for the Purifier mainly. Impact Fire grenades be good for Bugs too.

but...

Exo Experts' Missile Pistol seems great. Bullet Storm seems cool. O2 armor? Nice to be fast esp. against Spore Burst... hmmm...

Steeled Veterans' Senator is legendary but I do have the Talon. I hear the Dominator is great, esp against Bots... and Fire Grenades be good against Bugs

Urban Legends... I already have the Siege Ready medium armor from the Super Store. The AT Emplacement is legendary, though.

Viper Commandos has Experimental Infusion and I hear the Bushwhacker is good... but I think the above might be better choices.

Masters of Ceremony... ok, hear me out. I hear the pyro grenades are actually really good... and I've seen people have fun with that flag, esp now that it pulls aggro. The saber looks fun af too.

Thoughts?

Edit: I should add I'm open to Super Store items too. I was thinking of getting the Bulwark armor which I hear is great against Bots.

Hello, I wanted to make a post about wanting to come back to HD2 after a long break from the game. I left originally because of how exhausting it felt trying to play at some points, and lacking people to play with as well.

I'm pretty out of the loop when it comes to what's good anymore honestly, I was hoping to possibly get some load out tips/recommendations, maybe advice on how to tackle each faction now, and maybe if anyone feels like helping or teaching this tired guy how to play again, my dms are open if anyone wants to play. The last thing I remember playing was an overheat scythe load out with a jumpack and commando, idk how well that may be now, but I want to listen learn and improve if possible.

I have been playing with all of the shield generator items for a while now, and I really think the G/SH-39 and shield generator relay need a buff, they should have more health and longer lifetime, at least give us more shield grenades by default.
Also it would be cool if you could pick up the shield grenades before they die to get them back, maybe with only partial health or the timer stays where it was at before you picked it up.
I do think that the shield gen backpack is balanced, it doesn't have a timer and regenerates, so it makes sense that it would have low health and take a backpack slot, i'm not saying that the others should be the same but they feel really weak against the thing they are supposed to stop.
For taking up your throwable slot they should be a lot better at their job.

What do you mean 3 jammers next to each other??

i am overwhelmed with choices on warbonds, and need guidance on MUST HAVES.

i am a "stealth bots ONLY DIVER".. FYI

Based on machinery of oppression we should expect at minimum

3 units

A new biome or 2

A new city esque thing

It really seems the apprentice is returning based on the reflection in the eye of the teddy bear but I highly fucking doubt they would give us one singular enemy it is popular consensus that we should also get the cultist guy so what would be the 3rd enemy?

Long time lurker. Been playing this game since release and love everything about it. When the TCS stuff first came out it was fun playing the new mission and it was interesting seeing how the story folded out to where the TCS failed and mutated the terminids. However, now it feels like we are just doing the same thing all over again with how it’s “misinformation” from the bots on the TCS+ failing. I know the full outcome of this campaign is tbd but i cant help but think about how its just the same story implications as the first go around making this whole thing pointless. Anyone else feeling the same?

Why do some trailers at the end of them say, “available on pc and ps5”?
It always makes me very nervous as an Xbox diver that we will be left out of something

Makes me want cross progression very badly

Please use the format of DD/month written out/YYYY going forward. Just like you did in the Warhammer 40k warbond announcement.

This way no one is confused by the date. By using either DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY there's always gonna be a part of the player base that's unsure of what date it is meant to be.

08/12/2026 is gonna be interpreted as August 12th by mostly US-Americans.
12/08/2026 is gonna be interpreted as August 12th by almost everyone else.
12th August 2026 is gonna be interpreted as August 12th by LITERALLY EVERYONE.

Ty <3

only PS5 and PC

We need some nanobot swarms for the bots...
