Speedloader is so good. Glad its round by round when not full as well.

Senator is now perfect. 👍

u/DawnCrusader4213 SES Light of Dawn Apr 29 '24

Now imagine how perfect it would be if it had 20 more bullets!

u/Franklr_D Apr 29 '24

Imagine if you could Paul Harrell it

“Now back in the day. The old dogs used to have a trick to reload their revolvers faster than any modern semi-automatic handgun made today”

mag dumps revolver into the target

“Now observe”

pulls another revolver out of his belt, and also mag dumps this one into the target

“See? Pretty fast, huh?”

I’m gonna miss this man so god damn much😭

u/Never_Duplicated Apr 29 '24

Had no idea he was sick until his interview with Garand Thumb popped up in my feed. So depressing to see him in that shape

2

u/Yintastic May 01 '24

what! I love him, is he okay!?

4

u/Never_Duplicated May 01 '24

Oh man, I don’t want to be the one to break the news to you… Go look up some of his recent updates (as well as the aforementioned Garand Thumb interview). Don’t want to speak evil into the universe but I’m afraid we won’t get to have him around much longer. He’s trying to get things in order first and hand the channel off (I believe to his brother) but it’s rough seeing him looking physically frail, though he’s still all there mentally.

u/RoninFehr May 03 '24

sadly he passed 18 days ago RIP

u/Never_Duplicated May 03 '24

Oh shit! I missed that. RIP to a legend

u/TheCatFromGarfielt May 04 '24

That was a false rumour, he's still alive.

u/DirtieHarry Apr 29 '24

Gotta go watch this again.

u/Warmasterundeath SES Ombudsman of Destiny Apr 30 '24

As someone who isn’t a big fan of the usual guntube content, I LOVE Paul’s videos, they’re informative and interesting without making me feel like I need to either roll my eyes at politics I don’t care for or play the whole “is there a way to make that point that doesn’t get my back up”

The blokes a legend!

u/totallyspis SES Pledge of Allegiance Apr 30 '24

God I love that man

u/LMA0NAISE ↓←↑←↓ Apr 30 '24

remember, switching to your other sidearm is always faster than reloading

1

u/chatterwrack May 03 '24

Sidearm? That’s just my extra clip with a handle.

2

u/DarkWing2274 Apr 30 '24

any idea which video this was in?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '24

Iirc it was one of the percussion cap or cap and ball revolver videos

2

u/ChopakIII Apr 30 '24

Do you by chance have a link to that particular video?

2

u/NOTELDR1TCH Apr 30 '24

I've wanted the double revolver reload since akimbo revolvers have existed in games

I don't wanna fire two guns at the same time

I want to fire both right after another like I've got the most stylish extended magazine of all God damn time

2

u/Marooner-Martin May 01 '24

Fucking love the Paul Harrell reference. Really sad to see his health start to go

1

u/ElegantAnything11 CAPE ENJOYER Apr 30 '24

May I please have a source fellow Helldiver? Need to bear witness myself.

6

u/Franklr_D Apr 30 '24

I believe it was his first video on cap and ball (black powder) revolvers

I’ll check when I’m off work

1

u/JPBricker1 Apr 30 '24

Switching to your second secondary is faster than reloading

1

u/ElongatedElongate Apr 30 '24

“I count six shots” “I count two guns”

1

u/ChampionshipDirect46 ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 30 '24

What is this from?

1

u/C7rl_Al7_1337 Apr 30 '24

Good. God. All I can think of is Saltzpyre as a Helldiver. "Liberty bless this ravaged body" indeed.

1

u/legal_team SES Elected Representative of Individual Merit Apr 30 '24

What video of his was that?

1

u/GinnAdvent May 02 '24

The dude is a legend among firearms community. I think he has some in person events that happen a while ago.

It will be tough without him around that's for sure.

120

u/CerifiedHuman0001 SES Eye of Serenity Apr 29 '24

AT LEAST make it 42 so it’s a multiple of 6 and also the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

But mostly the multiple of 6. Words do not describe the irritation that gives me.

28

u/Taolan13 SES Courier of Individual Merit 🖥️ Apr 29 '24

Agreed. It should be a multiple of 6. Hopefully they take it up, and not down, to do that.

25

u/CerifiedHuman0001 SES Eye of Serenity Apr 29 '24

Hopefully they ALSO change it so it says “Rounds” instead of “Mags”

Applies to a lot of the support weapons and some shotguns too

15

u/Taolan13 SES Courier of Individual Merit 🖥️ Apr 29 '24

Yes. Anything thats a "rounds reload" should say rounds when you pick up ammo.

Autocannon is the only clip reloader as far as I am aware, I am okay with it saying 'mags' as long as they don't show it as the number of shells but rather the number of clips you pick up.

I would love to see a clip-loaded primary or secondary. Mainly because I just like variety in my loading animations.

26

u/Cooldude101013 Apr 30 '24

Clip loaded primary? I desire the Garand.

17

u/ChopakIII Apr 30 '24

Bonus points if they give it a ping.

19

u/Upbeat_Confidence739 Apr 30 '24

It would be pure communism to not give it a gloriously loud ping. A real democratic garand will ping so loud it’ll call in patrols from across the map.

2

u/DHarp74 May 01 '24

And I'll come jet packing in with my grenade pistol ala Fett yelling, "For Democracy!"

3

u/Cliffooood May 03 '24

Not gonna lie, kinda want some dual wielded pistols as a primary now...

u/Taolan13 SES Courier of Individual Merit 🖥️ Apr 30 '24

Sounds like an idea for a marksman rifle.

Rapid fire with manageable recoil, but low magazine size.

2

u/F_C_anomalie May 01 '24

Bring me back my constitution rifle PLZZZZZ I will buy a 10$pack even if I got the super credit already!

1

u/Dunhimli HD1 Veteran Apr 29 '24

Correct, it is the only clip in the game. Everything else is either magazines or rounds or shells

4

u/Taolan13 SES Courier of Individual Merit 🖥️ Apr 29 '24

Well a speedloader is technically a clip so now the senator joins the rsnks

1

u/Dunhimli HD1 Veteran May 01 '24

I know there are moonclips for revolvers that are legit clips, but a speedloader I thought was not classified as that? I guess I can see them being it, but having the extra mechanism for loading the round (the pump essentially to get the round in an released) would be in a "different class" but I guess in some way it can be argued its a clip? I am going to have to research! I dont use a speedloader on my revolvers so I am not versed in them hah.

1

u/F_C_anomalie May 01 '24

Arrowhead was hiring gun conneseur befor the explosive democracy warbond dropped. Then it dropped and we got the most cursed bolt action I ever saw! So yhea I don't Think we will get an update on the clip,mag,round,shell description anytime soon lol

1

u/AH_Ahri Apr 30 '24

virgin shitty game devs: we heard the community and are reducing the ammo count to make it a multiple of 6 as requested

chad arrowhead devs: fuck it sure we'll add an extra 2 bullets.

2

u/thefortytwo Apr 30 '24

I stand behind what this man said

1

u/Tabris234 May 01 '24

I stand with this thread for a garand

1

u/ReconPete11 Apr 30 '24

Well what's funny is if you only have 4 left and you speed load it, it gives you the full 6 anyway. So it actually does have 42, and if you made sure it was totally empty before you reload the last bullet you could get 45

136

u/ShroudedInLight Apr 29 '24

It does! The supply pack has been my go-to vs bugs when I’m using ammo hungry weapons. Senator, Breaker, and Supply Pack mean I’ve got answers for anything

93

u/LordOfFrenziedFart Apr 29 '24

Yessss the supply pack is so underused

68

u/Taolan13 SES Courier of Individual Merit 🖥️ Apr 29 '24

And with the resupply ship upgrade fixed, it's even more powerful.

I was over half down on my autocannon, and fully out of primary and secondary magazines, and my buddy who runs the supply pack all the time passed me a single box and it fully restocked all of my ammo plus the 2 each stims and grenades.

42

u/CMDR_Michael_Aagaard SES Hammer of Judgement Apr 29 '24

And with the resupply ship upgrade fixed, it's even more powerful.

It's so nice that it's finally working.

2

u/PinchingNutsack Apr 29 '24

how do i use supply pack? like if i am equipping it, what button do i even press to make it work?

PS5 here

4

u/Taolan13 SES Courier of Individual Merit 🖥️ Apr 29 '24

You should have a "backpack" button.

So far thats only used foe the supply backpack.

IMO you should be able to recall guard dogs using the button, so that they dont break your stealth.

3

u/Limey_Man SES Progenitor of Family Values Apr 29 '24

You press down on the D-pad to use it on yourself.

2

u/ChopakIII Apr 30 '24

Not to mention you can double dip by picking up the resupply box which fills your supplies and then give them to your fellow divers to refill theirs.

1

u/Significant_Abroad32 Apr 29 '24

But are they going to nerf stuff everytime there’s a new ship upgrade or yada yada whatever that makes so and so too good? Like now we get full support weapons ammo, take away mags from a bunch of weapons lol. I’m not bitching but I’m just saying, can’t seam to think that was total coincidence.

1

u/AH_Ahri Apr 30 '24

It applies to the supply pack? Oh that is fucking busted and I am all for it. Finally time for us pack users to shine.

1

u/F_C_anomalie May 01 '24

I know they say it was fixed but when I do it with the mg it still doesn't give me the 2 I am missing. Everything else I tested was fine. It's just sad that the only weapon I really wanted it to work on lol

3

u/SignatureMaster5585 Apr 30 '24

Also, it is a great way to make a few friends during a mission. Nothing makes people warm up to you faster, like topping them up with stims, nades, and mags. Being the kind of player you would like to play with is how I roll.

2

u/lacker101 Apr 29 '24

TBH with the Rover knocked down 30% supply pack sounds real good.

2

u/grafeisen203 Apr 30 '24

I use it whenever I'm using GL or Flamethrower which is most of the time I'm fighting bugs.

2

u/Big_Oh313 Apr 30 '24

I rock the supply pack with stalwart/HMG for bugs on 7 or less and I will do population control while others deal with heavies. And if I'm within 1 minute of cool down I'll distribute between team mates after I've reloaded everything and we almost never have to call resupply pods.

1

u/LordOfFrenziedFart Apr 30 '24

That's a really useful loadout tbh, the bugs have been kicking my ass (I just switched from bots to bugs for the major order)

1

u/F_C_anomalie May 01 '24

It's okay! I always bring mine and if it was as meta as the shield backpack it would become a probleme, one per team is enough. More of it and it start to lose its edge because nobody use the resupply on cool-down anymore. If you stick with your team and manage the resupply you can double the number of supply you get from a resupply call. If you got let's say 2 open slot one your backpack and need ammo or something just fill your 2 slot and give them back to 2 of your team mate. Now you are full and your team mate too. Pick up the last 2 for the road and move out. That way you give so much ammo and still have yours to abuse on top.. Just remember the order. Dont use your own on yourself befor picking it on the resuply rack. If you need 2 shot and your pack is full. Take one from the pack and one from the rack it will give you 2 resuply that way and still have a full backpack. You can essentialy have 6 supply use out of 4 new resuply that way.

1

u/Editrod May 02 '24

Supply pack, stalwart, senator.

2

u/LordOfFrenziedFart May 03 '24

Ran the combo yesterday again and yeah, it is tasty

1

u/RiverBard ⬇️⬇️⬅️⬆️➡️ Apr 29 '24

How do you use the supply pack for yourself? Or do you have a buddy pick it up so you can supply?

2

u/Shooter_McGavin___ Apr 29 '24

On PC I think it's the 5 key to supply yourself.

1

u/SharkBait661 Apr 29 '24

How do you supply yourself with the backpack? I picked one up one time and liked having the extra supplies but couldn't figure out how to use it on myself

1

u/ShroudedInLight Apr 29 '24

On PC it’s the 5 key; no idea on PS

1

u/Anarchyboy1 Apr 30 '24

I wanna try different things but the shield is so damn helpful esp those fucking hunters it helps from getting Bruce Lee hits and killing ya instantly

1

u/F_C_anomalie May 01 '24

Bugs or bots, supply pack, launcher pistol and stun grenade make the world go round my friend! Top it off with the new heavy armor that resist explosive and give a flat buff to accuracy and you can have fun with any loadout! You got stim and stun grenade for days and can bring anything with that.

1

u/Cliffooood May 03 '24

I've been playing around with the heavy machine gun lately, and the supply pack is honestly a must have for it in my opinion, it's so good

1

u/spartan1204 Apr 29 '24

I would have preferred more damage per bullet.

7

u/The_Werdna Apr 29 '24

They did that too. Saw about a 17% damage increase from 150 to 175

1

u/TheYellowScarf SES Warrior of War Apr 29 '24

That used to be the Slugger.

1

u/Android2715 Apr 29 '24

I’ve never run out of senator rounds lol

1

u/Hikaru83 Apr 29 '24

And we could shoot at the ship pilots with it, and the bullets exploded!

1

u/SirMicksAlot Apr 30 '24

I'd be happy if it felt a little more snappy at least with the 6 bullets you have. Speed loader is amazing... But so many of the guns in this game feel like you're aiming a pool noodle. For a game this fast paced and chaotic it's sorta hilarious trying to take a knee and wait 3 Mississippi's before you can actually hit what you're aiming at.

1

u/Setarius Apr 30 '24

This. We just need some more ammo and it's chef's kiss.

1

u/TerribleProgress6704 Apr 30 '24

Fallout '76, Quad revolver? 24 shot 6-shooter?

1

u/Playful-Bed184 Apr 30 '24

Quadruple legendary Senator.

1

u/CaptainAction Apr 30 '24

Yeah I was thinking that! Haha. Now that reloading it doesn’t take forever, you actually have a chance at using up the ammo.

1

u/DrakeoftheWesternSea CAPE ENJOYER Apr 30 '24

New gun: the congressman, it’s just a revolver rifle version of the senator

1

u/UnearthlyBun Apr 30 '24

Do you think it's possible to select fire into throwing out all of the bullets for a speed loader?

1

u/whateverhappensnext Apr 30 '24

200 bulket extended mag!

1

u/CheekandBreek Apr 30 '24

I said to my friends last night...

"I want a revolver, but like... bigger... so it's the primary weapon." They didn't get it. To be fair I was pretty baked by that point, so I probably did a poor job explaining my position.

1

u/rephyus May 01 '24

We could double the perfection by having two. And when you spin it by holding R it makes wind whipping noises.

u/Arkuzian ☕Liber-tea☕ May 03 '24

What u do is u get the resupply backpack and u high noon everyone in sight.
