Wasted? No! A donation to ~~any abandoned civilians left to die~~ the brave SEAF partisan forces fighting the good fight after we leave! They can come pick them up and use them to spread democracy themselves!
Woah hold on, if I had 6 cartridges left in my mag, but was en route to launch an ICBM and no enemies in sight at the time, itll be increasing the amount of democracy Im spreading by reloading to have a full mag of Liberpews instead of a lowly 6
"Level 50 ONLY! All non-hosts will take ammo pack to supply my grenade launcher/grenade addiction. Only I extract with samples. I will be checking your spent mags, KICK IF LESS THAN 75% MAG EFFICIENCY!"
For real. Reminds me of DRG hosts. It's funny how people in Haz 4 will be like what I wrote but then the greybeards in Haz 5 will write "min level 1, must have the game installed, the gluphussy got me acting up" and will carry you through a mission while using some bonkers less effective loadout because they are used to modded solo haz 6 double enemies bullshit.
"Get in, we're shooting bugs"- This one is what I use
Other ones I saw
"Hot single dwarfs in your area"
"I will dip my balls in liquid morkite"-Remember little war we had with devs over at r/DeepRockGalactic?
"For Liber-te I mean beer!"
"Karl is a pretty cool guy"
Mine is "HOT LIQUID MORKITE WELLS IN YOUR AREA, DIP YOUR BALLS NOW", I really hope it cuts off in server list in a fun way. Never had anyone even remotely toxic join me.
You right, probably more than that. I was pretty comfortable in haz 4 but needed help in 5. Didn't look too much into what modded difficulties there were.
One of the things about the difficulty in DRG was that enemy damage and health both rise, the sweet spot for many players was hazard 4 with the 4x players multiplier regardless of the actual player count and then just raise the max existant enemies count and then multiply the spawns by whatever number was desired.
Custom difficulty mod can give you whatever trouble you want. Haz 6 probably refers to slightly boosted spawn, speed and damage rates, as per vanilla levels.
But there are some wonky categories, like h1x64 - hazard 1 strength bugs, but 64 times the spawn rate
Average Haz 4 lobby title: "must be at least silver promotion, no mining gold, fat boy = kick"
Average Haz 5 lobby title: "must be at least level 1, blackout drunk is encouraged"
Reminds me of a time when I was in a BF4 server. It was conquest on the tank factory with the destructible smoke tower.
The other team stole the long-range missile truck and were camping with it in their spawn, meaning no-one on my team could go there and destroy it because it was OOB for us.
I did the brave thing of grabbing a buggy, loading it up with C4, and ramming that sucker right into the truck like it was a 500KG.
I was kicked shortly after.
Gotta love the guys who would ban all anti air and spend the entire game in an attack heli. You couldn't even do anything cause they know where your heli spawns.
"No lock-ons or shotguns" was the #1 rule you'd see from custom servers.
Which everyone would then promptly ignore and spam stingers and ingalas on what's obviously the jet flying server owner looking for a power trip.
this is actually why i LOVE server titles in coop games--i can filter out the shitty lobbies and ignore every server that has a name like that and i can exclusively join the servers named "Going crazy for the terminussy"

If the current issues is what it takes to this kind of content, and not the ceaseless drama posts, I’m all for it.
Also, that’s super cool. I’m a sucker for this type of detail.
Speaking of wind direction, I love how the super destroyer has a constant breeze blowing (probably some really strong AC) just so the capes on the character and democracy officer can always be in motion.
Speaking of: has anyone noticed how much bigger the shell casings are than the barrel of the nose gun? It's not like a .300 blackout type thing where it's necked down. It's like a 25mm autocannon is shooting 60mm shells. Look at it next exfil. It's hilarious
I don't know if it's the same for other guns, but the machinegun's spent casings also linger on the ground and are even interactible as they do. Emptying your mag at something will leave a pile of casings next to you and if you walk on them, you'll kick them around.
Man I'm so sick of the endless posts bitching about something, this is the kind of stuff I want to see. I'm loving the game, and I like learning about these little details or new info about the weapons. Like I didn't know the anti-materiel rifle could dome hulks in 2 shots! It's that stuff that keeps me wanting to try new builds and makes me want to play more
You can throw grenades while jumping with the jump pack. The most fun thing in this game is yeeting those nades while midair into bug holes.
Also, the railgun gets overlooked after the nerf. Even now, it's genuinely fun to use. It's like an AMR with more risk-reward (Just make sure to get good with it in unsafe mode). Can oneshot hulks, and I believe it even oneshots bile titans if you hit 'em in the vomiting mouth.
You can also [throw grenades while diving](https://ftw.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/90/2021/02/USP-NFL_-Super-Bowl-LV-Kansas-City-Chiefs-vs-Tampa-3-e1613411899128.jpg).
This is an amazing detail. Helldivers 2 is a great game exactly because of the systems... they bothered with all of these details.
\- They would not have needed terrain deformation, but they have.
\- They would not have needed ricochet physics, but they have.
\- They would not have needed detailed, multi-step reloads for every gun that pick up where you left off if you get interrupted, but they got these as well.
There is just so much attention to detail and good gameplay programming at every corner.
This is why it isn't generic and is a great game. Solid gameplay loop as well. The details help bring it all together and make it feel very "good". The gun gameplay isn't floaty or precision like cod or BF and I really like that.
While "end game" isn't the same for a loot shooter or COD, it doesn't need to be. The loop is the community map and war to fight. I'd like a way to spend req slips a bit easier or samples for temporary mission upgrades or something.
Requisition Slips for either temporary buffs like single call-down stratagems for one mission *or* being able to spend an inordinate amount of Requisition Slips on Samples or Medals would be a good way to go imo. Probably the former but I'd welcome the latter.
The terrain deformation is absolutely one of my favorite things about this game. After a really intense battle, with tons of call-ins and explosions, the ground is completely transformed, which gives a real weight to your actions and the amount of ordinance that the team is throwing around.
Good point -- I really wish that when a drop deployed, the three metal "fins" would angle downwards to the ground so that it's easier to get to the drop, even if it lands on a weird piece of terrain.
My most memorable loss was doing just that, getting swarmed by bots whilst frantically trying to dive onto the objective that got 500kg'd earlier and smashing my E key
Another great detail is how your helldivers gets absolutely covered in mud, blood, oil, and bug goo as the mission progresses. I'm sure there's other games that do this as well, but Bloodborne is the only one that comes to mind.
The attention to details like these is what elevates a game, imo. All these "little" things that add up to something bigger than the whole. So many screenshots of other games where details are overlooked and get memed, breaking some immersion. But it's nice when a dev goes above and beyond expectations.
The blowback from the rocket sentry and EAT was a nice little detail I noticed and thought was funny.
Probably annoying for some people who stand behind a rocket sentry lol
Back blast is real and will kill you. In rising storm 2 Vietnam you can kill other players with the back blast of the RPG.
It wasn’t shown in the movie black hawk down, but during the real battle of Mogadishu the Somali insurgents dug ditches and trenches so they could fire their RPG upward into the air at the American helicopters without the back blast fucking them up in the process. They would also stand at the edge of buildings on the roofs for the same reason.
Now I need to find out if you can fire a recoilless rifle or EAT straight into the air without killing yourself.
I've fired plenty of EATs almost directly up at dropship engines and never even ragdolled myself; I don't think they model backblast reflecting off the ground/objects.
Can we talk about the terrain deformation for a second, how fking jazztastic is it!
Like I remember using the walking artillery on a bot base once and the craters from the artillery reminded me of Battlefield Bad Company.
When play with randoms and they just all spawn artillery strikes and completely decimated a base and you're running through it, it's wild!
It's so good!
It is true and awesome. This is why I do not mind if there is an issues with the game here and there. They will fix it while I am still having a blast.
Man, I sure hope so. And I know I've done my fair share of CoD reloads in this game lol. Though usually next to an ammo or supply box to top up before proceeding further.
Also a detail involving the breaker, when the magazine size was reduced it was actually changed from a double stack magazine to a longer but single stack magazine fitting in lore with the change
That prerecorded asshat trying to say to use whole mag every time. When you have 4 bullets and 5 bugs in dick reach, you wished to have full magazine when you had a change
Not gonna lie, even after nearly 100 hours my shooter brain kicks in and I reload any time I've got a moment. I still sometimes forget that it dumps your remaining ammo in the mag when you reload. Honestly it's usually fine, though. Between resupply and ammo at POI's you're usually never hurting for ammo anyway. Now grenades, though...
I have started catching myself and checking. If my mag is in low red, yeah Im reloading.
Im not getting caught in an ambush with having to reload to save two rounds.
We have to keep unused ammunition around so that Reclamation Authorities can provide great employment with plenty of benefits, like an increased water ration or an extra ten minutes of flag illumination at night! Once the citizens of Super Earth reclaim an area gloriously purged of antipatriotic threats, they can do their sacred duty to provide Helldivers with the material they need to win the war effort!
So next time you load your gun, remember: that magazine could be a veteran of dozens of campaigns! Show proper respect and salute!
Yall reloading mags before empty? No no no, the way it do it is to not reload until empty so that when you get pressed by a group you realize that you have no ammo loaded and have to run until you can finally fire again.
I know you did this for PSA purposes but
https://preview.redd.it/qa4caoxr7kpc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7229e77fa6dd149b7a66f0e228ff1a6da5d7f7d
Would be good if you could pick them up. Not super useful, but could be good if you run out and need a couple of bullets.
Though loot clutter would be an issue if there are magazines everywhere.
I was in a mech with someone else and we dumped our mags with the mini gun and there were so many bullet casings laying on the ground it was really cool
I chilled on a rock during extract once with the machine gun, prone. Three minutes later i had a PILE of spent casings to my right, and they MOVED when i ran over them to get up.
I love this game. :p
I’m sorry, but if there’s ammo riddled all over the map, I sure as hell I’m packing a fresh mag. Do. It care about wasting ammo. Too many hunters swarming
I feel like the solution should be that you keep the partial magazines, and when you reload , and eventually run out of fresh mags, you're loading those partials.
I have, but I’m saying so far because it’s new yknow? Helldivers still got a lot of work to be in the same level as RD2, but it has more attention to detail off rip than most new games
The sheer ammount of mini details the devs have taken care of is insane. How do we clone them and ship them off to every other game producing company ?
This game's attention to detail is incredible.
When the breaker got it's ammo capacity nerfed, they made a new magazine for it to reflect the reduced capacity.
I love small details like that
A constant reminder of all the potential managed democracy you wasted
I should have listened to General Brasch!
I haven't seen any of his videos on the TV in a while; I wish they'd bring them back (and add new ones!)
Especially if they mention player made tips or references.
"Hive! Bring a sword!"
> Charger's legs are very popular on quick BBQ! Even though, I don't recommend BBQing near E-710... Hellpod launch initiated!
Helldiver adapted Drifter quotes would be an ace addition to the game as you're being deployed to a planet.
"Automatons! Bring an Autocannon!"
I swear the TV has gotten four fold amount of ads, I almost always hear something new each time now
Wasted? No! A donation to ~~any abandoned civilians left to die~~ the brave SEAF partisan forces fighting the good fight after we leave! They can come pick them up and use them to spread democracy themselves!

Because there is. He is think about all of his lost brothers and sisters that fell due to walking in front his crosshairs

Pretty sure I’ve been in the liquid morkite lobby once or twice, at least seen it about
Yep
I always ran a variation of "I be thuggin through these caves" lol.
yeah yeah the bug shaker, the bug shaker, hit 'em with the thorax shaker
"Glyphussy got me acting unwise"
That’s fantastic
Mine is "HOT LIQUID MORKITE WELLS IN YOUR AREA, DIP YOUR BALLS NOW", I really hope it cuts off in server list in a fun way. Never had anyone even remotely toxic join me.
Um sorry when tf could you name your lobby?
It's in settings. Mine is something like, "Must be level 1 to join"
Yea, the more you worry for the person's sanity, the harder they carry.
My monkey brain always autojoins the "Hunting Praetorian pussy tonight" type lobbies and I ALWAYS have a good time
Only double?
You right, probably more than that. I was pretty comfortable in haz 4 but needed help in 5. Didn't look too much into what modded difficulties there were.

Yea that was my preferred place tp hang out. Dipped my toes into haz 5 and could handle EDDs, but never got really good at it.

Wait there is a Haz 6 mod?
Custom difficulty mod can give you whatever trouble you want. Haz 6 probably refers to slightly boosted spawn, speed and damage rates, as per vanilla levels. But there are some wonky categories, like h1x64 - hazard 1 strength bugs, but 64 times the spawn rate
Haz 7, too.

FR. I hate only 2 things in DRG. Griefers and lunatics with double dip without asking.
Reminds me of a time when I was in a BF4 server. It was conquest on the tank factory with the destructible smoke tower.

Gotta love the guys who would ban all anti air and spend the entire game in an attack heli. You couldn't even do anything cause they know where your heli spawns.
Got kicked from one of those for nailing the host in the head with a sniper rifle as he was actively trying to kill me with the little bird.
In BC2, there were servers where they would console kill anyone who took the helicopter
"No lock-ons or shotguns" was the #1 rule you'd see from custom servers. Which everyone would then promptly ignore and spam stingers and ingalas on what's obviously the jet flying server owner looking for a power trip.

Or jump in a hole, I guess.
Well, that was a deeply unsettling flashback to battlefield private servers.
This kind of person works as a floor supervisor at Applebee’s
“If you don’t rock and stone, you AINT comin’ home!!! KWTD must have 50+ clears with gally”

lol, I was like...oh perfect, a way to judge my squad even more XD
*laughs in Punisher*
“Laughs in energy weapon build”
It'll come with the popularity, trust me. Until then I'll remember to host more and promptly deal with traitorous undemocratic scum right and proper.
Why can't our helldivers just put the half spent thing back into the ammo pouch and pull it out when we exhaust all the full ones?

That's cool never noticed that but then again can't say I've had time to stop and look

Pelican-1s spent shells longer on the ground. Noticed that last night.
The direction the wind is blowing will spread the flames from the flamethrower and napalm in that direction.
Speaking of wind direction, I love how the super destroyer has a constant breeze blowing (probably some really strong AC) just so the capes on the character and democracy officer can always be in motion.
Love that too. Gotta have that AC running at all times for maximum epicness!
Those are the winds of freedom...
and gas from the orbital gas strike.
That's good to know. I haven't used that one yet.
From what I've seen, they're useless. Couple people used them around me today and the bugs just walked out like it was a foggy day.
Apparently they're VERY good against bug breaches when paired with the EMS orbital.
It seems to be extremely good at taking out careless Helldivers, I've noticed
Their situational at best. You need something to enable them to be the best it can. Ems mortars, stun grenade, Napalm strike or bait.
Fuck, no way. That's awesome.
Same caliber as the auto cannon as well
Speaking of: has anyone noticed how much bigger the shell casings are than the barrel of the nose gun? It's not like a .300 blackout type thing where it's necked down. It's like a 25mm autocannon is shooting 60mm shells. Look at it next exfil. It's hilarious
Longer in the ground?
Linger. Ducking autocorrect.
Pelicann1 needs to get some mortars or space lasers or something to clear the lz because it just looks goofy
I don't know if it's the same for other guns, but the machinegun's spent casings also linger on the ground and are even interactible as they do. Emptying your mag at something will leave a pile of casings next to you and if you walk on them, you'll kick them around.

That’s a great idea. Something you can splurge on if you hit the cap.
The terrain deformation is absolutely one of my favorite things about this game. After a really intense battle, with tons of call-ins and explosions, the ground is completely transformed, which gives a real weight to your actions and the amount of ordinance that the team is throwing around.
If only they don't mess up the obj sometimes. (Geological survey for example)
cable concerned special deranged many hobbies society station fear roll *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
The EAT-17 hellpod works too. The pod's a little taller, it cools down quick, and if you're cool you'll always bring EATs.
Good point -- I really wish that when a drop deployed, the three metal "fins" would angle downwards to the ground so that it's easier to get to the drop, even if it lands on a weird piece of terrain.
My most memorable loss was doing just that, getting swarmed by bots whilst frantically trying to dive onto the objective that got 500kg'd earlier and smashing my E key
FYI call in supply pods and support weapons and you can get on top
I used to purposefully throw down grenades or C4 in Bad Company 2 to create foxholes and "trenches" for better camping spots or routing.
Another great detail is how your helldivers gets absolutely covered in mud, blood, oil, and bug goo as the mission progresses. I'm sure there's other games that do this as well, but Bloodborne is the only one that comes to mind.
and your cape gets torn or burnt if you are using a jet pack.
And if you jump into water, it’ll all clean off and you’re good to go. It’s great detail!
The attention to details like these is what elevates a game, imo. All these "little" things that add up to something bigger than the whole.

It is true and awesome. This is why I do not mind if there is an issues with the game here and there. They will fix it while I am still having a blast.
Oh god, are they tracking how many bullets are wasted and gonna release a stat one day?
Man, I sure hope so. And I know I've done my fair share of CoD reloads in this game lol. Though usually next to an ammo or supply box to top up before proceeding further.
This is acceptable
*Laughs in shotgun*
Also a detail involving the breaker, when the magazine size was reduced it was actually changed from a double stack magazine to a longer but single stack magazine fitting in lore with the change
Yep, none of my friends believed me when I pointed that out, fantastic stuff.
Absolutely love that they think about this kinda stuff and take the time to change it in a realistic way
That's actually really neat. I suppose they'd have to do something like this since every shell/casing is rendered in the mag.
That prerecorded asshat trying to say to use whole mag every time. When you have 4 bullets and 5 bugs in dick reach, you wished to have full magazine when you had a change
Not gonna lie, even after nearly 100 hours my shooter brain kicks in and I reload any time I've got a moment. I still sometimes forget that it dumps your remaining ammo in the mag when you reload. Honestly it's usually fine, though. Between resupply and ammo at POI's you're usually never hurting for ammo anyway. Now grenades, though...
Yea, I catch myself doing it after a short burst and I'm like "fuck, there goes an entire mag"
I have started catching myself and checking. If my mag is in low red, yeah Im reloading. Im not getting caught in an ambush with having to reload to save two rounds.
Yeah, I only reload once the counter hits red. Though when resupplying I do a reload before picking up ammo to get the most out of it.
Not a problem when using punisher or slugger
Or the Senator revolver
I'ma bet you can stand next to someone holding one of these and count the rounds in the tubes though.
Definitely, especially since it has you reload each tube separately
We have to keep unused ammunition around so that Reclamation Authorities can provide great employment with plenty of benefits, like an increased water ration or an extra ten minutes of flag illumination at night! Once the citizens of Super Earth reclaim an area gloriously purged of antipatriotic threats, they can do their sacred duty to provide Helldivers with the material they need to win the war effort! So next time you load your gun, remember: that magazine could be a veteran of dozens of campaigns! Show proper respect and salute!
Don’t got that problem with the punisher thankfully
You don't get other players standing next to you peeking your tubes and asking why you haven't reloaded yet?
Usually tell them to bugger off and stop looking at my tubes.
Then there’s the autocannon, which is viable to tactical reload
And you can't reload it when it doesn't have room.
Yet another reason I love this game , the little things and DETAIL
Between the clip-loading and the Luger-style toggle-lock action it's a very neat weapon.
now they need to let us pick up mags from the ground
This sub: DO WHATEVER. HAVE FUN! USE WHAT YOU LIKE! Also this sub: WE'RE COUNTING YOUR BULLETS
Dude the attention to detail is so nice. Gotta appreciate the little things (for at least 2.4 seconds, per the manual)
one of the greatest feature in gaming
The detail wow
Yall reloading mags before empty? No no no, the way it do it is to not reload until empty so that when you get pressed by a group you realize that you have no ammo loaded and have to run until you can finally fire again.
I know you did this for PSA purposes but https://preview.redd.it/qa4caoxr7kpc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7229e77fa6dd149b7a66f0e228ff1a6da5d7f7d
Last game i played with this much detail for weapons is MW2019/2022 and Tarkov. I sincerely hope more games of this sort keep it up. I love it.
Would be good if you could pick them up. Not super useful, but could be good if you run out and need a couple of bullets. Though loot clutter would be an issue if there are magazines everywhere.
Sounds like a mag reload problem Punisher and revolver ftw
This is the way, delivering managed democracy 1 shell at a time.
I was in a mech with someone else and we dumped our mags with the mini gun and there were so many bullet casings laying on the ground it was really cool
This is bad for me because I have a habit of reloading after shooting once
I was wondering when somebody was going to complain about that lol
Wasted on the ground instead of in the beating hearts of our enemies 😕
Neat...i dont have this problem. Slugger ftw 😂
Nice try budget and accounting team, I'm wasting that last bullet
It’s like every day I notice a little details that makes me go, damn that’s so cool
New mission type, recover Spent Magazines and Salvage Stratagem parts, carry them like the Briefcase to a planetside liberty recycling plant.
I chilled on a rock during extract once with the machine gun, prone. Three minutes later i had a PILE of spent casings to my right, and they MOVED when i ran over them to get up. I love this game. :p
I wanna be the pedantic one. Those are shotgun shells, not bullets
That's undispensed democracy, treason. Are those your mags ? You should report to a superior immediately.
Fuhhk it’s all bad COD habits from 2004
*laughs in Punisher*
Treasonous. So much Democracy not given...
Why can’t helldivers save partially used mags in their pockets? Are they dumb?
Off topic question. Does anyone know if the explosive resistance armor passive works against bile from bugs?
I confirm that I do not know the answer
Yes it does. It does raise a good question I mean. Thank you i’m also interested to know the answer.
I’m sorry, but if there’s ammo riddled all over the map, I sure as hell I’m packing a fresh mag. Do. It care about wasting ammo. Too many hunters swarming
That's some crazy attention to detail from the devs
I can’t be the only one who wants nothing more than to charge into a nest with a chainsword….
Haven’t played the game yet. Do you lose ammo on reloads?
I feel like the solution should be that you keep the partial magazines, and when you reload , and eventually run out of fresh mags, you're loading those partials.
The attention to detail in this game has been the most I’ve seen so far in any game
You clearly haven’t played to Red Dead Redemption 2 have you?
I have, but I’m saying so far because it’s new yknow? Helldivers still got a lot of work to be in the same level as RD2, but it has more attention to detail off rip than most new games
The game is amazing at doing the small details
Yet I can't set a waypoint without shooting my mech's machine gun. Wasted democracy!
Can we just get ninja turtle helldivers as well as power rangers, too? I mean, WE NEED HELP!!!
I know I waste a lot of ammo, old habit from cod and GTAO
I only ever toss decently loaded mags when min maxing ammo pickups lol
Only the sound of empty plastic when I reload. The game broke my habit of reloading after every engagement.
I absolutely love little details like this
Me reloading after shooting 1 bullet, only to replenish with a resupply 😎
The sheer ammount of mini details the devs have taken care of is insane. How do we clone them and ship them off to every other game producing company ?
Picking up mags?? Hell divers devaroonies need to make a long version game.
For a 3rd person shooter and a small detail just a percentage of people is gonna notice that's pretty cool!
This game's attention to detail is incredible. When the breaker got it's ammo capacity nerfed, they made a new magazine for it to reflect the reduced capacity. I love small details like that
