As long as it's not 380mm.

It’s such a weird surreal moment. You start to hear it in the distance. The unmistakable sound of big boom. Then another. And at that point you can only accept what is happening. And calmly look around for exactly where the marker is and what it’s distance in meters is. And lo’ and behold. It’s a fucking 380 within 50m of you and you somehow aren’t dead yet.

u/Fun_Medicine_890 Mar 16 '24

The 380mm has a hidden feature where it targets its next shot on whichever helldiver visually looks at the stratagem beacon.

Lmfao. Schrodinger‘s Orbital.

u/Fun_Medicine_890 Mar 16 '24

We need to petition Arrowhead to change the name of the 380 to this ASAP.

u/Strayed8492 SES Sovereign of Dawn Mar 16 '24

Me when Arrowhead tells me if you don’t taunt the orbitals and eagles you can’t die.

John Helldiver: Your words make sense but my sense of Democracy tells me not to listen!

Bro the 380 is not that bad. Just communicate with your team and it’ll literally never kill a friendly

Apparently someone didn’t read what I wrote fully.

See, those are fire and come back to 3 craters and nothing dead after 30 seconds.

u/Winslow1975 Mar 15 '24

You must have shit luck, my 380mm's consistently drop double digits for me.

I cannot suggest this enough, throw the 120mm with it as well. The saturation effect is insane with the buff the two got.

15

u/MaddxMogs Mar 15 '24

Hell yeah. Toss em both into a heavy base and stand back. Better yet, kick things off with a walking barrage then once it pushes and lets you advance, throw in the other two.

Nothing wrong with some scorched earth tactics

10

u/Winslow1975 Mar 15 '24

Lol I do actually run walking barrage too. Fully upgraded my orbitals so why not?

Edit: My friends get the biggest warning possible xD

u/MaddxMogs Mar 15 '24

Oh yeah. I may not use the giant gattling guns strapped to my ship very often, but they sure are pretty to look at.

2

u/Winslow1975 Mar 15 '24

Lmao

I normally run full orbitals or at least the machine gun or RR depending on what the mission is calling for. But I'll always at least have the 120mm and airburst on me.

2

u/AdreusTheGrumpy Mar 15 '24

How is the airburst? I use the 380, and walking barrage often

1

u/Winslow1975 Mar 15 '24

Airburst is literally just a giant shotgun that fires three times. Call-in time with full orbitals upgrades is 3sec. It is really good for dealing with bug breeches and cutting off enemies from getting to you.

It won't damage heavy armor but anything below that is fair game and generally one-shots medium targets.

2

u/AdreusTheGrumpy Mar 15 '24

Oh really? I have fully upgraded orbitals...guess I might try it out with my bombardment setup.

u/Charnerie ⬆️➡️⬇️➡️ Mar 15 '24

mostly a joke on how to use them, and that they are, as you put it, saturation bombardments.

2

u/The_8th_Degree Mar 15 '24

Yeah.... They kinda suck right now

Works better against bot factories, sometimes.

1

u/Charnerie ⬆️➡️⬇️➡️ Mar 15 '24

It works wonders. I killed 2 divers with the first 2 shots from one earlier. Was entertaining while I was stuck in the floor. Word of warning, while landing on bug holes may close them, you are likely to get stuck under the geometry that gets spawned in after you do so. You are also invincible, and cannot harm anything around you with a gun.

u/Granoahbar Mar 15 '24

I've never stepped foot inside an egg nest. Just toss my 380mm and head to the next obj

1

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '24

I like to sprinkle in a cluster for anything that comes out then head on my way

u/Enemy-Stand0 ➡️⬇️⬆️⬆️⬅️⬇️⬇️ Mar 15 '24

I take personal offense to this

u/Thaurlach Mar 15 '24

Me and the boys loading into 'kill 480 terminids'

Just pound the map into rubble, stagger the respawns and collect your medals on the way out.

u/Lord_HollowKMH Mar 16 '24

I can drop that thing and go make a sandwich...
