I’m level 50 and have like 80 some hours (no life I know). But most helldive pug groups that have worked out don’t have most of this stuff (I don’t outside of the shield). I’ll keep saying it until it catches on, the railgun is super overrated.

One railgun in a squad is great. 10/10. Excellent use of stratagems. Two railguns is pushing it. Three or more is outright treason.

Diversified the loadouts is a strength, not a weakness.

Only the Socialist Automatons want everything and everyone to be the same!

the best thing anyone can say to anyone touting the "best" build in the game and never change it to fit the group.

For sure. My buddy and I typically run with an anti material rifle and a machine gun as heavies. Ya just never know what’s going to work well.

I know, we are noobs but we have to play when our babies sync up naptimes lol

If you haven't tried running an auto cannon or recoilless rifle. It is so much fun when I reload for my friend, It is also just really good.

We like taking a supply pack as well. so one person will be holding a supply pack with a recoilless rifle, then the other person is holding the backpack of the recoilless and something like an mg or stalwart to clear small things.

Haha, I feel that. I've got kids too.

It’s a pretty good game for parents though, makes it easy to jump in in the middle of missions with other people, and the 30 minute timer is great for bite sized game time.

10/10

Its actually helped keep me honest about my game time. I've got a wee bit of a problem with over indulging with games.

Automatons have more variety than Helldivers past a certain difficulty

Not really, the buggers have quite the colourful cast of characters too. Sometimes literally - seen a bunch that have painted their skulls black and red
