I don't believe I've ever seen any controversy over the auto climb feature. Glad they gave us an option to remove it.

Same, and same. I probably play around with it over the weekend.

I don't think these guys know the meaning of the word 'controversial'

They use it a lot but ...yeah

It's clickbait buzzword because of course it's not in the description, you have to click to find out.

Never heard of this controversy.

The only time that was funny is trying to resupply and climbing the supply pod 🤣🤣

repsahj26d ago

I do not believe this is needed. If you are playing for weeks now, you know how to resupply without accidentally climbing the pod. If you still haven't memorized it, that's your problem, not the game.

Nothing wrong with user friendly options

Very loud minority is complaining. I see people using one in every round i play and they kick ass, have to remember there are tons of kids that play this game, and they complain about every single little tiny bad thing even if there are 10 pros and 1 con. Also, this is definitely not accurate. I’ve literally seen these mechs destroy chargers and titans, in the gate defense missions with this mech it literally makes it infinitely easier to hold the gates.

What a crock of shit, whoever wrote this just sucks at the game, they’re embellishing everything for some reason. Maybe they have a chip on their shoulder against the developers. Stop playing the game if all it does is make you angry, those of use that love the game will continue to appreciate their constant updates and toys to play with.

Matter of fact this post just made me want to play around, see you on the battlefield.

Are the number of shots required to kill the enemies outlined in the article incorrect?

I haven't tested it myself but this is a snippet from the article.

"Kills Bile Titans to the head in around 40-45 shots (Way more than the autocannon sentry for some stupid reason)
Kills Chargers to the head in 10 shots
Kills Chargers to the leg in 8 shots
Kills Bile Spewers in 4 shots
Kills Brood Commanders in 2-4 shots to the head"

Some support weapons can one-shot those enemies and I believe the argument is that the mech should be more powerful than it appears.

I personally think it is about using the right weapon for each faction. This new mech is more effective against the automatons while the first mech is stronger against the terminids.

The new mech is really good against bugs

So yes I think this was basically revealed yesterday. So apparently (and mind you HD lore is really quite dark) they have Illuminate blood stored from the first war that will be used as a super weapon to destroy an entire planet. The bug blood, BTW, is also used by Super Earth to power FTL travel.

Can't wait to experience the last stand of the super bug colony. And then face the Illuminate.

Helldivers 2 is Wrong to Leave Stratagem Hero Collecting Dust

Helldivers 2 can often make players wish they were safe playing Stratagem Hero, but there’s little reason to indulge in the arcade mini-game anymore.
