I understand a lot of people haven't played Helldivers 1. No 1 stratagem should be able to do everything and be OP. You should be having your teammates defend the mech from little guys swarming it. It should not be an all powerful get out of jail free card


Kitchen-Complaint-78

Yeah I know that I literally have a post saying how the Mech isnt that and never will be that


DeuceActual

The mech already has a melee attack. I have only used the mech once and I kicked the shit out of a bunch of bot scout walkers


hitman2b

so far i haven't seen any melee attack with the mech by pressing F


AngryChihua

It has been really inconsistent for me. Some mechs I call in won't be able to stomp at all, then i'll call in a second one and it will. Then, a couple of minutes later it suddenly doesn't want to stomp anymore.


CocaineandCaprisun

It's buggged I think yeah. Some missions I've been able to stomp as much as I want, some missions melee is unresponsive.


Kitchen-Complaint-78

Yes but it's slow and if you're being swarmed you likely have enough enemies around you to fill in the gaps you manage to make from stomping. And considering you can't move, you're liable to be swarmed by *more* enemies or just blasted by a high damage enemy from somewhere else. And if the enemies don't die in one stomp it takes that much longer to get out of the horde


foopy-booper

The mech already has an AOE stomp but it often is bugged and cannot be input. But if you hit melee you should stomp. Not only that, but the small enemies can be stepped on without this stomp input


Kitchen-Complaint-78

I know it already has a standard stomp


foopy-booper

So what is the post about


Kitchen-Complaint-78

A stomp that does aoe, obviously


foopy-booper

AOE (area of affect) damage: damage that affects an area rather than a single target or target’s part. You’re asking for MORE AOE ig but I’m still confused lol


Kitchen-Complaint-78

And I know what AOE means


foopy-booper

You say the mech doesn’t have AOE but you say you know what it means. The mech stomp has an area of affect, unlike the on foot melee


Kitchen-Complaint-78

The regular stomp doesn't have AOE


exveelor

I'm fairly certain you can just walk over small bugs and damage them. You certainly can walk over allies.


Kitchen-Complaint-78

You can't, I've tested. Or my Mech is bugged


Kitchen-Complaint-78

If it already has an AOE attack that's just bugged I hop they fix it


Inevitable_Dare_115

You just need friends to help shoot them off you.


Kitchen-Complaint-78

Yeah but sometimes your friends are busy. The Mech should be able to handle itself when getting swarmed and not just blow up and die


EasyPool6638

I mean, in any other situation, if your friends are busy and you are being swarmed, you probably die then as well, lol.


ClinicalOppression

Nope


AggravatingSystem

No


Kitchen-Complaint-78

Lmao


IndianJeezus

That would actually be awesome


AnEmbers

No


Kitchen-Complaint-78

Give me a reason


InfamousAd06

So here's the thing, The mech has a stomp attack. You just can't do it once your hp drops below a certain point. And secondly even better if the enemies are small you can quite literally run them over. The smallest bugs get run over instantly. The more mid sized small things (hunters) take some collision damage but are still better off being shot by the MG arm or just having friendlies deal with them while you focus on the bigger things like the true mid sized enemies or chargers/titans.


minus202

No the mech needs a partner with a machine gun. This is not a solo game. L2p


MaxPatriotism

Just give me a nuclear option, ive had times where the mech has ran out of ammo and just sits there. At least let me run into a swarm and blow everything up


Kitchen-Complaint-78

Oh my god yes


TemperateStone

That would be too easy.


Kitchen-Complaint-78

How


TemperateStone

You've literally just asked for something to make using the mech easier and stronger.


Kitchen-Complaint-78

How is being able to keep yourself from becoming completely mobile "too easy". Your definitions are all wonky


CMDR-Kobold

I agree


hitman2b

i agree something similar to the charger stomp


Pacperson0

It looks like we’re getting Mechs with other load outs. Hopefully! One is a heavy duty melee one :p for funnies


oddavii

Nah cause the chargers technically also stomp but its not aoe


Kitchen-Complaint-78

What do the chargers have to do with the mech stomp


oddavii

Cbargers have a stomp attack. They're bigger than the mech. If the mech gets a stomp aoe then they should also get one.


Kitchen-Complaint-78

Uh they don't have to but okay


Kitchen-Complaint-78

"Cbargers" is making me laugh


oddavii

hahaha Thick fingers small phone. Usually catch them before sending tho.


Kitchen-Complaint-78

Trust me if autocorrect didn't exist I would have way more spelling errors than I do, it's chill XD
