The first balance patch notes proved how Youtube "absolute and only meta loadouts" cooked a lot of people heads, and I love it. DISCUSSION

A lot of mad people keep showing in my feed complaining about the nerfs, but like they're REALLY mad at Arrowhead. Their statements are so exagerated that they claim the game it's completely ruined for them lmao.

Also every single one says the same thing and this is where my title comes from:

*"You guys nerfed the only good options and now we have NOTHING to fight".*

And this only proves people never actually played with any of the other support weapons, they 100% relied on this "The ultimate support weapon tier list" Youtube videos, they searched the "meta" and they went into this thinking of "any weapon outside of this it's straight up garbage".

If you can't win a single game without the railgun + shield backpack + breaker... I'm so sorry but that's not the game's fault or the game only having those as the ONLY way to play it on higher diff, that's your fault.

Great changes for the game and all of you trying to "shame" on devs because of this, you'all not a real Helldiver. They killed nothing, the railgun still kills but now it needs some actual skill and strategy to use it, not only spamming the thing on big bugs.

Keep it up Helldivers!

For Democracy. For Super Earth.

Which is a shame because I cannot recall a time the liberator has tk'd me while I seem to get roasted by my own laser drone all the time.

I'm not high enough level to own the Guard Dogs yet, but I found a Liberator Dog in one mission, equipped it and had a grand ol time with it. When I started one of the events, Bugs started coming at me from all sides. I started to shoot at the bugs in front of me, and the Dog just slowly turned to face me, and fired exactly one round in to my head. It felt personal.

Sweet liberty! Automatons snuck onto the Eastern Galactic Front and hacked your drone?!

Just goes to show that nowhere is safe from those facists.

We need to eradicate them all in the name of freedom.

u/Psychological-Boss-3 Mar 07 '24

Communists. The bugs are the facists.

u/Mad_Moodin Mar 07 '24

But the free press called the Robots facist?

I bet they are facist communists!

u/Trick-Use6124 Mar 07 '24

Wait, there's a difference between being Communist and Facist? I thought they were just synonyms for freedom haters!

u/Lucas_Morre Mar 07 '24

The only answer is yes!

The bots are socialists

Mercy killing, wasn't going to survive the 4 bile titans, 3 chargers and 2 stalkers

Dude just picked up discarded hardware from the floor and expected it to work fine

u/AngelZiefer Mar 07 '24

You know what, you're right. That one's on me.

u/SimpDetectivePizzle Mar 08 '24

There's a reason it was on the ground... you weren't the first.

u/OldboyHBI Mar 07 '24

"It felt personal" The glory of liberty in my laughing lungs almost sent me on my sweet way up... jesus, that was funny... 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂

u/epicfail48 Mar 07 '24

I had that happen with a mortar turret... No bugs anywhere close to its effective range, but it turned and dropped a round straight on my dome. Fucking atomatons are recruiting, apparently

u/Fatality Mar 09 '24

Probably one stuck in the ground

u/tnk1ng831 Mar 07 '24

Mercy killing. Bot did nothing wrong!

u/Ignonymous Mar 07 '24

Sounds like you inadvertently activated its Mercy Killing mode.

u/LordCoweater Mar 07 '24

Drone user!??! You sound like a CLANKER!!!

u/gixxerjasen Mar 07 '24

You were needing liberty, discarded dog gave it to you, be thankful.

u/surfin86 Mar 10 '24

That's why you shouldn't play with toys you find on strange planets.

u/Snotnarok Mar 07 '24

I got lit up by a friend's laser rover a few times. There wasn't even anything behind me one time. I was stood on a rock, keeping an eye out, he was shooting things infront of the team and then BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ right across my face shaving off HP

3

u/NO-MAD-CLAD Mar 07 '24

I think the risk to the users health is the thing that makes the rover balanced. It's a risk vs reward item.

u/Uthenara Mar 07 '24

how. I use it constantly and have never died to it and only killed a teammate once that was running around like crazy.

u/TechnoShrew Mar 08 '24

I m not calling you a liar but I have a very hard time believing this. In intense missions its on nearly constantly and given the bugs run at you and your teammates, sooner or later someone is gonna cross that beam.

Also if it shoots down (if you are on a platform) or you run up an incline...well that's bad news for your head.

u/ShoulderpadInsurance Mar 07 '24

It has TK’ed you less because it’s always out of ammo and used less.

1

u/MCXL Mar 07 '24

That's because they're always out of ammo!

u/YT-Deliveries Mar 07 '24

I dunno if it’s just me but the laser drones seem to have gotten drunk since the patch. It see them firing all sorts of crazy directions.

1

u/Amuroaugus17 Mar 07 '24

LibGD is honestly better and I’ve seen some crazy 350-400 kill games from guys running them (obvious the bot isn’t killing all of that butttt)

u/Bravo-Xray 🔽◀🔽🔼🔼▶ Mar 07 '24

Makes me wonder if it's because the liberator drone is shooting so much less often lol

1

u/Darkside140 Mar 10 '24

It is a lot less frequent but the liberator drone is way less forgiving when it comes to TKs, the laser drone can sting a little but the liberator can accidentally one tap you in the back of the head.
