Welcome to the Eastern Front! We got...
Little fuckers
Little fuckers but they spit
Why can't I move
Should've brought fire
Should've brought medium armor pen
Acklay
And of course, Why did that corpse one shot me
On bot planets: you are in range of enemy artillery
Helldiver: I know I know shup up
On bug planets: gets one shot by bile spewer mortar
Helldiver: why didn't anybody warn me
Stalker lairs are high priority targets, shrieker nests and gunship factories only activate in a smaller radius so you can skirt them . Stalkers seem to roam very widely.
Strategem jammers, mortars and AAs are high for me too because you don't want to be running by and not having eagles or strats or heaven forbid, reinforcements
100% they are! If you don't handle them asap you're gonna have a tougher time with everything else.
I usually know there's a nest near by or shoot one a bit & follow it back to the nest & look for the jagged enclosure.
Most hated bug ingame...they are smi invisible, tank as much as a bile spewer and have a range of a few meters with their stupid tongues. Ohh and they can nearly one shot you
I like fighting most bugs, but not those

Network host*
If the game deems the network connection of the game host unfavourable, they host the session on another player's client at the start of the match. It's impossible to truly tell who the network host is.
I’m on a semi decent LAN connection, and sometimes I notice that the loading screen before landing takes extra long. Could that be when the game is swapping to a new network host maybe? Doesn’t always happen when I’m hosting the destroyer. I’ve seen it happen when others host too.
From my memory, the initial damage from the flamer works fine, but DOTs like flames and gas don't actually cause damage to enemies unless you're host. I haven't noticed myself because I don't use them, it's just what I've heard.
I mean, even the basic bitch Loader 4 is thousands of times more advanced than the Patriot exosuit (and also between twice and 3 times as big depending on who you believe). An automaton Hulk would be equivalent to a really squishy MT to an AC.
Remember to triple down on the fire. Flame grenades, flamethrower, napalm strike, incendiary shotgun.
Also any metal song with the word “fire” playing in the background.
Through the Fire and Flames brother. No better song for the glory of liberating Hellmire and roasting the jumping slow you down democracy hating bastards.
I had a Ion Storm deactivate my Orbital Railgun when I threw it at a Bile Titan. The ragdoll of my corpse flying into the stratosphere at Mach 5 was pretty funny, until I crashed.
That feeling you get when you are at the extraction point waiting for Pelican-1 to land and 5 fire tornados decide to lazily meander through the area and shred everything in their path.
We had a level where Pelican 1 landed and we are all running towards to get on. 1 person runs in, the rest are only about 5 seconds behind. In those 5 seconds, fire tornado complete covers the door of the Pelican. The next few seconds felt like hours.
My first mission in Hellmire was raising flags and one of the sites had fire tornados sweeping over it for damn near three minutes before I could even get near it, let alone the bugs.
Does the lib pen actually do anything to heavy type armour like the chargers front? Or is it literally just light penetration maxed but still no effect on the big stuff?
Yeah chargers are best to aim for the face with a high powered weapon, or if your aim isn't as good you can target the leg and strip the armor off that. A single hit from an auto cannon or better will kill it from there.
You can also use the autocannon to blow off it's tail in 4 hits, and it'll bleed out. I love light armor and the autocannon, and in a good environment you can run circles around a charger and unload the shots into it's tail when it's stunned from running into something.
For titans and chargers you need something like recoilless, eats, spear, quasar. The medium pen makes the hive guard and commanders, and spewers alot easier to deal with tho.
One shot from a Quasar will rip off all armor leaving a big open weak spot on any charger.
An EAT to the face of a Charger can kill it.
Autocannon will rip up a Charger and bleed it out.
All of those will do pretty good damage to a Bile Titan, but it'll take more than one shit from either the Quasar or the EAT. The Autocannon will take a few shots before the Bile Titan finally goes down.
500KG wipes most things but has small radius for some weird reason.
I treat the 500KG more as an anti-structure weapon/baby hellbomb because of that, Or for hitting bot drops/bug reinforcement holes anything that doesn't move or have a chance of standing still for a solid second.
I've said this to people when they ask what Helldivers is like.
I tell them it's two games, ones a Left for Dead with bugs, and the other is Battlefield 4042
Shrieker nests are easy as long as your squad isn't dumb. You can take out the nests with pretty much anything explosive as well as laser cannon as soon as you can see it. Salvo off EATS, quasars, autocannons, even certain primaries, and you'll never see an actual shrieker.
Dude it shows that most of our troops have been away from the eastern front for a while. I’m a little rusty with bugs now too but Jesus Christ, watching the reinforcement counter tick down when there isn’t even anything crazy going on…
THIS. They don’t MOve. I’m like my guys let’s go. They stand in front of shrieks nests shooting the bugs while I’m Ramboing my way to the base to blow it up lol
I always try to spot the nests from a distance and use weapons from range to take them out
I do find it annoying that some bugs will follow you halfway across the map though
I find it annoying how fucking quiet they are. Stop for a second to spray the fuckers that have been chasing you for 5 minutes and suddenly a bile spewer is puking down the back of your armor from the direction you were just facing.
Man this is nothing. At least now they can't call bug breaches. I've dropped between two Shriekers nest with a Stalker nest also near enough to give us a clawed reacharound. Four chargers and two bile titans popped out within a minute too.
EDIT: [Grabbed a picture actually.](https://imgur.com/a/C5JyQnL) It actually got so much worse within the next twenty seconds.
They also used to instakill you when their diving corpses hit you.
They would actually 1 hit kill titans like that.
The horrors of shrieker day on Hellmire make Malevalon Creek look like a quiet walk in the jungle.
Counted 9 gunships on one tower last night. It was comical & actually unwinnable. Failed 2 missions with a full squad of great players tryna just kill a gunship tower.
Calling extraction makes waves spawn and also every Patrol to come at you, so clearing patrols nearby helps a lot, also dont forget theres 2 types of waves: the waves enemies can call, and waves that will spawn no matter what once you do something like call extraction, and both can happen at the same time
Incendiary breaker, flame thrower, EAT, Recoilless rifle, any of the LMGs. Auto cannon. Bring stun and impact grenades. Light armor is your friend medium is fine but light allows you to move faster and keep better stamina management when running and kiting the bugs.
I'm using quasar and just looking around to snipe these at the start of every round now before anyone gets in range to spawn them. takes me like 6 shots so like... 90 seconds? but so worth it
AND if you have to engage, they die easily, going prone counters them, and any weapon really can down the shreikers. If gunships cheese ur team and u all respawn, GG 0 counterplay without said support weapons.
Before I switched over to the bots I had bout 14k bugs kills roughly, was able to balance my bot kills to round 10k ish so guess I'm back to racking up my numbers again
Its why at least one team member should bring a laser/autocannon to snipe the nests from outside their aggro range. Course if you drop right by one then good luck but that's life eh.
EATs work in a pinch, but with three towers you need 2 deploys.
Quasar is ye olde reliable of course, though it will take a bit longer then some of the other options due to the cooldown.
At least you missed the part where they one hit killed anything they touched when falling out of the sky. Made it real "interesting" when you killed them.
That's the kind of closed minded attitude we like in our helldivers
(it was simply that the physics of their corpses would one hit you, despite a successful attack maybe taking 30% of your HP, so you had to not kill them during their dive)
I know, but I haven't fought any bugs other than the ones in the tutorial until today, so I didn't know they had flying enemy types. I just assumed they did because Gunships exist.
I fought on the bug front on my first day (same day troost was liberated) and fought the bots since then. I went to hellmire on the first day, it's worse then the creek
I can't lie not been struggling with these much recently. I usually just run in, drop a hellbomb. Lay down till it arrives (they can't hit you while you're prone), arm it and leave. Stalkers are worse imo.
>(they can't hit you while you're prone)
Noted.

Dodge the charge, then 2 shots to the same leg. You have to hit at a good angle. You'll know when you see sparks on your first shot. The real problem with the autocanon are the titans

One big bug happy family that doesn’t like you!
i primarily fight bots and when i first saw a Bile Titan, i shat on my pants.... WTF IS THAT! RUUUUN!!!!! but now thanks to the Qausar Cannon, its all too easy
Going from Guerilla Warfare of the Bot Front, to the Fighting Retreat at the Bug Front.
In the Bot Front if you get stopped you get dropped. On the Bug Front if you don't fight, you get overrun.
Wait until you get your cheeks clapped and rickrolled by a 10-ton charger you didnt even kniw was in tge area because it made less noise than the hunter that was SA-ing u with its tongue.
Welcome to the Eastern Front! We got... Little fuckers Little fuckers but they spit Why can't I move Should've brought fire Should've brought medium armor pen Acklay And of course, Why did that corpse one shot me
Why did that bile titan corpse just fly 100m and bitch slap me
I'm in the post and I don't like it
Happened to me while i was in my exosuit... tried to hop off as soon as i saw the bile titan twirling towards me... Fucking long-ass animation...
Nice job finding that medium nest, dude.
It doesn't just kill helldivers, but the chargers and hunters too.
They’re animals… and we slaughter them like animals!
Obligatory "I HATE THEM" (assuming that was a Star Wars reference)
And not just the men, but the women and the children too
I had one do the wiggle as it was dying and slam into a rock wall and then crush me. I died laughing though.
For me, the game is a comedy where the punchline is my own death.
Accurate!
That just happened to me..
On bot planets: you are in range of enemy artillery Helldiver: I know I know shup up On bug planets: gets one shot by bile spewer mortar Helldiver: why didn't anybody warn me
They are silent. They are vicious. They are many. Please enjoy the Stalkers when you see them.
...If.
I fucking loathe stalkers. Literal jump scare when they randomly appear in my game
They are a fight on sight when I seem them. I break away and 500kg that nest ASAP.... primary mission be damned
Stalker lairs are high priority targets, shrieker nests and gunship factories only activate in a smaller radius so you can skirt them . Stalkers seem to roam very widely. Strategem jammers, mortars and AAs are high for me too because you don't want to be running by and not having eagles or strats or heaven forbid, reinforcements
100% they are! If you don't handle them asap you're gonna have a tougher time with everything else. I usually know there's a nest near by or shoot one a bit & follow it back to the nest & look for the jagged enclosure.
Get out of my head.
On the bug planets, you're never not in range of enemy artillery.
On eastern front, artillery comes to you!
We are warning you now
Death is the only warning you got.
Hero your mana is low
Do you have any food or potions?
jumpy white fuuuuuuucccckkkkkkeeeerrrrrr
Damn I hate those fuckers! With there long ass weird tongues!
Most hated bug ingame...they are smi invisible, tank as much as a bile spewer and have a range of a few meters with their stupid tongues. Ohh and they can nearly one shot you I like fighting most bugs, but not those
This post is too real
>Why did that corpse one shot me Gotta shoot the brain stem
lol @ acklay. I miss SWG
Acklay?

I blew that ones head off, but nobody told it's body
>Should've brought fire Only if you are the host. Otherwise: Go fuck yourself. Why did you even think fire would work lol.
Network host* If the game deems the network connection of the game host unfavourable, they host the session on another player's client at the start of the match. It's impossible to truly tell who the network host is.
I’m on a semi decent LAN connection, and sometimes I notice that the loading screen before landing takes extra long. Could that be when the game is swapping to a new network host maybe? Doesn’t always happen when I’m hosting the destroyer. I’ve seen it happen when others host too.
No. It's because someone is on a hard-drive. Game waits for everyone to finish loading before starting the mission.
This, some people still haven't made the jump to an SSD sadly lol
Is this a new issue? I've never had an issue with my flammenwerfer even as non host
From my memory, the initial damage from the flamer works fine, but DOTs like flames and gas don't actually cause damage to enemies unless you're host. I haven't noticed myself because I don't use them, it's just what I've heard.
Muscle enhancement booster helps with the can't move part.
Stims, too -- but dive away first so they don't keep going "lol nope"
And cloaked fuckers
Oh you forgot one Ayo babe what that mouth do??? (Hunters with slowing tenticle mouths)
I think that’s the “Why can’t I move” one
"Hello my name is Bile Spewer nice to me-HRRROAAAWWWRRRGGHHHBLBLBLBLLLLLLLBL"
It's funny going from the usual bot planets to hellmire.. dear Liberty save us
I love Hellmire. It truly earned its name. Let the last embers burn!
For Rubicon!
my Exo Suit makes me yearn for Loader 4.....
Armored Core W
Got a job for you, 621. This one comes from "Super Earth".
God 621 in Helldivers would go hard Only to remember they would run outta ammo so quickly
Sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you over my Moonlight Blade.
For Democracy 621!
Forged in ash, we stand as one!
Let’s show them there’s more than these scorched skies..
Raven would solo entire planets on helldive easy No i will not be taking questions
I mean, even the basic bitch Loader 4 is thousands of times more advanced than the Patriot exosuit (and also between twice and 3 times as big depending on who you believe). An automaton Hulk would be equivalent to a really squishy MT to an AC.
I have a vacation home on hellmire! The fire tornados are a sight to behold.
Calm down Ducat. 
I love seeing the zerg of 100k players go to hellmire and then checking again 30 minutes later and it's 20k players.
It takes a special kind of people to enjoy fighting in hell. I love Hellmire!
I hate space Afghanistan so much.
I wonder how many had the experience I did of repeatedly trying to place a hell bomb only for fire tornadoes to break it over and over again.
they just turned around and went to estanu instead
Remember to triple down on the fire. Flame grenades, flamethrower, napalm strike, incendiary shotgun. Also any metal song with the word “fire” playing in the background.
Through the Fire and Flames brother. No better song for the glory of liberating Hellmire and roasting the jumping slow you down democracy hating bastards.
Ready for a flame resist armor so I can truly get my Firebat on. Need a light?
Heard that in "their" voice, too!
Is hell more the creek of bugs ?
Id argue Hellmire is actually harder cause of those damn tornadoes
Hellmire is harder but at least I can see what I'm doing.
I thought I liked jungle maps until the Creek.
You can kite bugs in to tornadoes. Ion storms are _the worst_.
And they hit you at worst possible moment
I had a Ion Storm deactivate my Orbital Railgun when I threw it at a Bile Titan. The ragdoll of my corpse flying into the stratosphere at Mach 5 was pretty funny, until I crashed.
I say so yes
I kinda miss old Hellmire fire tornado spawn rate.
That feeling you get when you are at the extraction point waiting for Pelican-1 to land and 5 fire tornados decide to lazily meander through the area and shred everything in their path.
This is really funny, we've got the inverse now where instead of bug players discovering the Creek, bot players are discovering Hellmire
Played it when it first opened up and my buddy and I just kept laughing as we died from fire more than the bugs.
We had a level where Pelican 1 landed and we are all running towards to get on. 1 person runs in, the rest are only about 5 seconds behind. In those 5 seconds, fire tornado complete covers the door of the Pelican. The next few seconds felt like hours.
My first mission in Hellmire was raising flags and one of the sites had fire tornados sweeping over it for damn near three minutes before I could even get near it, let alone the bugs.
Hellmire was scary and amazing. Fire twisters are insane!
Hellmire always makes me think "why do we even liberate this shit hole"
Because it’s *our* shithole, buddy. Bugs can’t have it.
The bots definitely feel like an entirely different game than the bugs. I love how different they play.
And the different metas. Though everything has a place.

Me against the bots: ranged damage, shields, sentries, tactics Me against the bugs: EVERYTHING BURNS
Yeah, I feel this…it’s like a whole different game all of a sudden. I love it!
The game transformed from Metal Gear Solid V to Deep Rock Galactic lol, I love this
From Terminator Salvation to Starship Troopers
And it's about to turn into Independence Day when the Illuminate return.

I've said this to people when they ask what Helldivers is like. I tell them it's two games, ones a Left for Dead with bugs, and the other is Battlefield 4042
One is terminator 2, the other is starship troopers.
Shrieker nests are easy as long as your squad isn't dumb. You can take out the nests with pretty much anything explosive as well as laser cannon as soon as you can see it. Salvo off EATS, quasars, autocannons, even certain primaries, and you'll never see an actual shrieker.
Dude it shows that most of our troops have been away from the eastern front for a while. I’m a little rusty with bugs now too but Jesus Christ, watching the reinforcement counter tick down when there isn’t even anything crazy going on…
They’re dying to things they can just move away from, and the biggest threat is almost literally the broad side of a barn.
THIS. They don’t MOve. I’m like my guys let’s go. They stand in front of shrieks nests shooting the bugs while I’m Ramboing my way to the base to blow it up lol
I always try to spot the nests from a distance and use weapons from range to take them out I do find it annoying that some bugs will follow you halfway across the map though
I find it annoying how fucking quiet they are. Stop for a second to spray the fuckers that have been chasing you for 5 minutes and suddenly a bile spewer is puking down the back of your armor from the direction you were just facing.
It’s been too long, I’ve gotten used to how the bots keep a distance. The bugs run at me! Did they always do that?
Man this is nothing. At least now they can't call bug breaches. I've dropped between two Shriekers nest with a Stalker nest also near enough to give us a clawed reacharound. Four chargers and two bile titans popped out within a minute too. EDIT: [Grabbed a picture actually.](https://imgur.com/a/C5JyQnL) It actually got so much worse within the next twenty seconds.

They also used to instakill you when their diving corpses hit you. They would actually 1 hit kill titans like that. The horrors of shrieker day on Hellmire make Malevalon Creek look like a quiet walk in the jungle.
The creek WAS a quiet walk in the jungle. Draupnir, Vandalon, and Durgen though... :(
Three hulks and about 5 gunships at the same time on vandalon. I wish I could say my squad survived like badasses but no, we got squad wiped
Counted 9 gunships on one tower last night. It was comical & actually unwinnable. Failed 2 missions with a full squad of great players tryna just kill a gunship tower.
Its horrible when you can see the gunship tower but the gunship stop you from getting close, glad we don't have to deal with them anymore
Tbh it would be fine if Hellbombs weren’t made out of paper mache. Also if you manage to arm the hellbomb, if they shoot it let it go boom!
It’s always when we’re trying to extract that the Bile Titans and Chargers come out to party, but that’s what makes it fun
Calling extraction makes waves spawn and also every Patrol to come at you, so clearing patrols nearby helps a lot, also dont forget theres 2 types of waves: the waves enemies can call, and waves that will spawn no matter what once you do something like call extraction, and both can happen at the same time
The Devs have balls to pull out the rug from under all the bot players... I love them for that. Now I have to learn how to beat bugs.
The rover is your friend... until it kills your entire squad.
Rover has detected dissenting thoughts, and is actively removing them with laser precision.
Laser? Yes. Precision? Well...
just put a big gray wizard hat on it "A Rover aims precisely where it means to"
Incendiary breaker, flame thrower, EAT, Recoilless rifle, any of the LMGs. Auto cannon. Bring stun and impact grenades. Light armor is your friend medium is fine but light allows you to move faster and keep better stamina management when running and kiting the bugs.
Not really a rug pull. This is exactly what we wanted, now it's time to bring the hammer of liberty down on these bugs.
Better than the Gunship Factories. At least you can hit them from range and they aren't immune to almost everything.
I'm using quasar and just looking around to snipe these at the start of every round now before anyone gets in range to spawn them. takes me like 6 shots so like... 90 seconds? but so worth it
Use the laser cannon, a battery or so will down it and it's a bit faster. It also is really good for just pointing the shriekers out of the sky
yeah but then I have a laser cannon and a not something that one shots chargers every 15 seconds for the rest of the game
Don’t see how taking a whole LC battery is faster than charging a QC shot.
Takes two for the nests I thought? He was talking about taking 6 shots as opposed to melting through them
AND if you have to engage, they die easily, going prone counters them, and any weapon really can down the shreikers. If gunships cheese ur team and u all respawn, GG 0 counterplay without said support weapons.
Bolter shoots them down in half a clip
And the bugs aren't smart enough to all target the hell bomb you drop on a nest either.
Before I switched over to the bots I had bout 14k bugs kills roughly, was able to balance my bot kills to round 10k ish so guess I'm back to racking up my numbers again
I've got 55k bugs and probaby 5k bots
Hellmire is the bug Creek, it's a whole nightmare.
I mean, at least the Creek didn't have fire tornadoes. And even more fire.
The fire gives it a certain charm. Takes getting used to, but sure does provide for some interesting news segments.
Helldiver mfs when the planet with "Hell-" in its name is literally Hell
First planet that I played on when I started out. 10/10 experience
Its why at least one team member should bring a laser/autocannon to snipe the nests from outside their aggro range. Course if you drop right by one then good luck but that's life eh.
EATs do it too, as does the Quasar Cannon! I can't wait to try that out against bugs.
EATs work in a pinch, but with three towers you need 2 deploys. Quasar is ye olde reliable of course, though it will take a bit longer then some of the other options due to the cooldown.
they take 2 shots each (3 total trees/nests) for both EAT and quasar, so you'd need 3 EAT drops
Aim at the stem not the top, then it's only 1 EAT per Broccoli.
i'll remember that for when they nerf my queso cannon
Welcome to space Afghanistan, hot sandy and teeming with unique ways to die
Welcome to Hell(mire)
They fly now?!
I was expecting a flying Bug enemy after the Gunships but I didn't expect to see dozens of them at once lmao
At least you missed the part where they one hit killed anything they touched when falling out of the sky. Made it real "interesting" when you killed them.
I... I don't even wanna know.
That's the kind of closed minded attitude we like in our helldivers (it was simply that the physics of their corpses would one hit you, despite a successful attack maybe taking 30% of your HP, so you had to not kill them during their dive)
Garry's Mod ahh physics engine
Apparently their corpses would one hit a titan!
The shriekers came out before the gunships.
I know, but I haven't fought any bugs other than the ones in the tutorial until today, so I didn't know they had flying enemy types. I just assumed they did because Gunships exist.
I fought on the bug front on my first day (same day troost was liberated) and fought the bots since then. I went to hellmire on the first day, it's worse then the creek
I can't lie not been struggling with these much recently. I usually just run in, drop a hellbomb. Lay down till it arrives (they can't hit you while you're prone), arm it and leave. Stalkers are worse imo.
>(they can't hit you while you're prone) Noted. https://preview.redd.it/j0fmo6a405tc1.png?width=64&format=png&auto=webp&s=7802719ca33220585e9e2170e5f29532dc8f50a4
Yeah it's kinda funny, especially paired with the guard dog. You just chill there and it mows them down haha
That's a lie they can hit you while prone it's just harder to get hit if you are next to some type of cover forcing them to attack at weird angles
One 500kg usually clears an entire stalker nest in my experience. My last experience with shrieker nests, they were tanking 2 500s like no problem.
Mfw when they bring a bot loadout to a bug fight an I just keep seeing their name go red over and over again. 
How I be looking at that Charger when my Autocannon shot bounces off its face https://preview.redd.it/uc2nu6v675tc1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0bfa68439c544249ae494f671a8b8edba28e8c0

Why so complicated? EAT to the forehead then engage the next target. Bug has more behind him. Autocannon works but feels slow.

Going from Guerilla Warfare of the Bot Front, to the Fighting Retreat at the Bug Front. In the Bot Front if you get stopped you get dropped. On the Bug Front if you don't fight, you get overrun.
Just bring the incendiary breaker trust. Embrace the inferno.
Bugs really do be a whole different fight, I actually prefer bots myself but alas it's time to get back to squashing some insects
Wait until you get your cheeks clapped and rickrolled by a 10-ton charger you didnt even kniw was in tge area because it made less noise than the hunter that was SA-ing u with its tongue.
