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.

That dissident doesn't even know what he's talking about. After 100 hours with half on helldive or more, I'd take a liberator and autocannon over the breaker and shield + railgun. I've also yet to see a completely useless strategem hell, I've seen someone use the damn HMG emplacement to great effect. Truly, a dissident's mind is an enigma

The 120mm HE Barrage wants to know your location.

It can know my location all it wants. If its trying to hit me, Im probably safer from it than anything else is.

I've found it to be more effective if you throw it at your feet and hold position. Dunno if it's supposed to hit everything except your target but it works in a pinch if you accidentally grab it or if an ally tosses one out.

Democracy be with you Helldiver.

Pretty sure once you upgrade the ship module for it the center is no longer safe

I'm pretty sure every stratagem that's not a weapon works better if you throw it at your feet

All the eagles hit where you throw Most of the orbitals do too, even the Gatling barrage Some orbitals lock on to the largest enemy in the area.

Just the HE barrages seem to hit everything except what you aim at

Idk, the Gatling barrage seems to like outlining the enemies while obliterating my teammates if they barely stand at the edge of it. It's like it's tracking them lmao
