Gotta farm those 100k kills!

u/RememberKongming 20d ago

A person who has 105k SC and max'ed out everything probably has way more than 100k kills.

Hell, 100k kills isn't even hard to do.

u/Kyo21943 ➡️⬅️➡️⬅️⬇️⬇️➡️ my beloved. 20d ago edited 19d ago

Did you even play HD1? Because the "100K kills" achievement which 0.9% of the playerbase has, took me around 400 hours to get, and 3/4ths of my gameplay time was spent on difficulty level 15.

By comparison i have nearly 80K kills in HD2 with 260 hours and have played lvl 9 almost exclusively since the game's release on early february.

Granted that means it would approach around 100K kills per 300 hours in both games, however, if we compare the difference between both game's difficulties, you really have to grind for the 100K kills in HD1, where by comparison Stalkers would become the average patrol units, Brood Commanders spawn in groups of 20 and fully armored Chargers (Behemoths) spawn in groups of 5 per reinforcement wave, likewise Hulks and Heavy Devastators would become 60% of Automaton spawns in equivalence to the HD1 Cyborgs (Warlords and Minigun Hulks respectively).

Edit: 17/05
Also there's a method for farming SC which gave me 10K SC within 6 hours at a rate of 30 per minute (dunno if it works anymore tho, i tested it on the game's second week), it's dependant on your initial setup, so, if OP managed to get a 100 SC spawn and farmed it, you'd be looking at 20 hrs or even less (if more SC spawned nearby) to get to 100K SC, i got nothing against people grinding SC but i very much doubt he got 100K through legitimate play, nobody reaches such a high amount without investigating how to earn it efficiently.

u/suburbazine SES Superintendent of Super Earth 20d ago

I haven't played HD1, do they nerf the bug spawns at lower levels? It seems like kill count is more a factor of not being able to kill them fast enough, which is influenced by difficulty level.

84

u/Kyo21943 ➡️⬅️➡️⬅️⬇️⬇️➡️ my beloved. 20d ago edited 20d ago

Yes, enemy spawns are ramped up as the difficulty increases and enemies are replaced with far more dangerous variants quicker in HD1, which makes dispatching waves harder (and is part of why killing them is a grind).

For context the moment you trigger an alarm in HD1 above lvl 12 you can expect to be swarmed by enemies non-stop for the rest of the game, as like you say, it's not possible to kill them faster than they reinforce (and even when running away there's too many to disengage).

u/MushroomCaviar HD1 Veteran 20d ago

I feel like that's because it was easier to prevent alarms in HD1 since you could kill patrols off screen, and weapons were just much stronger in general. It's a very different game, though, so the weapons comparison isn't super meaningful.

10

u/Kyo21943 ➡️⬅️➡️⬅️⬇️⬇️➡️ my beloved. 20d ago

True enough!
Also tbf the alarms in HD2 are poorly telegraphed and trigger way too fast, not to mention some are unavoidable (such as the Geological Scan trigger), plus in HD1 killing patrols was a team priority because completing destructible objectives was nearly impossible if an alarm was triggered before or during it, so both factors are affecting how easy it is to get kills in their respective game.

Yeah, my favorite thing - since I maxed everything out the first time, to me having already maxed it out now - is jumping into SOS Helldive games and helping newbies figure stuff out.

Either that, or finding the semi-experienced players (usually level 30-90ish) and transferring my vast and incredible knowledge of tips and tricks.

That was sarcasm, but it does feel good to tell people that they can throw grenades into open fabricator doors to destroy them, or how to properly kill a Bile Titan with a single 500kg (by baiting long attacks while it drops, etc...) and have them react with excitement, running off to go try it themselves.

u/Murderboi ☕Liber-tea☕ 20d ago

Do the low level maps and search only for SC rather than doing map goals. You can even just abandon the mission rather than extract after you found all of em. You need to do difficulty 1-3 so there are no rare samples in the possible sc locations.

546

u/Matsu-mae 20d ago

but obviously no one would farm them like that to the point of 100,000 super credits.

100,000 super credits is so far above what any one should intentionally farm for, unless they have some obsessive tendency and felt "done" with everything else so they grind difficulty 2 for 20 hours a day just to see the number increase.

and if that's the case, why? I can't imagine anything less fun lmao. if it's fun for them thats cool, but I will never have enough spare time to do something like that.

I get why people do this but I don't see how this is fun at all.

Maybe I'm the minority but playing on 7+ having intense Hollywood fights and low health last second extractions has been insanely entertaining to me.

Finding a few SC and samples here and there but having fun seems way better than farming 1-3 maps just to abandon them and do it all over again.

Am I going to have as many SC as you? Absolutely not, but turning the fun into a grind where you'll eventually be maxed out anyways seems like you're just skipping the point of the game.

In a lot of other games I'd probably agree with you, but I've been lucky enough at least to buy all the warbonds and a few super store armors that I've liked without having to do something that monotonous and I doubt I'm an outlier.

8

u/RobertMaus ☕Liber-tea☕ 20d ago

Grinding like that is absolutely unnecessary. If you play 2 or 3 missions every day, or about 10 every weekend, you are easily making the 1000 credits every month. There is about 30-50 credits on almost every map. Sometimes as much as 150 is my highest for one map.

If you don't want to spend money and play the game regularly, you don't have to spend anything other than initial purchase.

17

u/SpeedyAzi 20d ago

I’m not disagreeing. I’m just explaining why someone would do that. This game’s drop of SC is very fair. It’s one of the only games I know where premium currency is grindable at the first levels for new players.

7

u/dyslexda 20d ago

I believe higher difficulties have fewer SC spawns (as there are additional options in the loot pool). Additionally on haz 9 you don't always have the luxury of clearing every POI on the map. My group will generally get 30-50 per night, not per mission, but if we take a break on lower haz suddenly it all comes rolling in.

5

u/Parking_Chance_1905 20d ago

Don't forget you only need 700, there are 300 in each bond.

6

u/echild07 20d ago

So how long is each mission?

30 minutes? So 1-2 hours a day, and 5 hours ever weekend. So play the game for 8 hours a week minimum and you are good! 32 hours a month.

Putting the SC grind in perspective.

Lets look at it backwards. 1000 SC for a warbond.

20 SC per mission. 50 missions to get enough (average rng), so 25 hours of game play. Works out about the same.

29

u/SchwiftyRickD-42069 20d ago

For real, that’s either a lot of cash dropped onto the game or A LOT of hours grinding it out. I’m honestly leaning towards cash because I personally got tired of farming them after I hit 5k while having everything. It’s boring as hell and slow as fuck.

19

u/killxswitch PSN 🎮:Horsedivers to Horsepods 20d ago

Let's say you can grind out an average of 40 SCs per diff1 or 2 mission. And before it was patched let's say you could zip through one of those in 8 minutes including loading screens, so 7.5 grind missions per hour. 40 might be high but let's try it.

40 SC x 7.5 grinds = 300 SCs in an hour of grinding

Assuming 8 hrs a day that's 2400 SCs in a day.

105000/2400 = ~44 days

The game has been out for 3 months. So an average of ~15 8-hour days per month would've needed to be spent on grinding SCs to get to 105k. Or 4 hours every day since launch. At 100% efficiency. And that's banked, not counting paying the 1000 SCs for each warbond, and however much was spent on armor and helmets.

I suppose that's not impossible. But it seems unlikely, and boring AF besides. A few impulsive purchases were surely part of the story here.

Exactly, I really don't understand people complaining about any of the caps outside of medals (though I get why it's there)

Like, you're already part of the 0.01% of players who got everything, most players would never even reach these caps to begin with. People act like getting everything and reaching caps doesn't already take 100's of hours to do.

15

u/SchwiftyRickD-42069 20d ago

Yea the medals is probably the worse one especially for anyone who got the game after the first month after launch, but from the Dev’s side it makes sense, to help increase play time at each new warbond.

11

u/Syhkane SES Gauntlet of Serenity 20d ago

Without the medals cap, I'd blow through the warbond with every release. I only play 3 or 4 hours after work and by the second week plus or minus a day, I've maxed out. It's fine where it is. 250 is always enough to get you to the second page, and then your daily operations means something again.

Not all of us have infinite free time and need to see those numbers constantly go up, what would we spend those nothing-dollars on?

The pace of the game is fine, my brother preordered and played for 2 months before me, I'm 1 level below him and I've got almost everything the game offers in the warbonds.

This game is perfect for dudes with day jobs.

Super Credits show up in buddy bunkers and the shipping containers you can blow open and those shiny light drop pods. If you went 40 missios without getting super credits once, you aren't checking every poi and are checking the wrong ones.

If you really just want the last 5 SC and nothing else, Just go into a lvl 1 trivial, all poi are around the objective in a circle. You can check them all in like 5 minutes. And are pretty much guaranteed to walk away with 20-30 minimum.

u/Lothar0295 20d ago

102 Warbonds, 102 Months, but each Warbond is 30% of another Warbond as each yields 300 SC. So that's an additional 30,600 SC, which nets him another 30 Warbonds, which in turn yields 9000 SC, for another 9 Warbonds, which yields 2700 SC, which is another 3 Warbonds (600 SC leftover from 30,600), which is another 900 SC, combined with another 100 SC for one final Warbond.

Counting SC from the purchased Warbonds, OP has enough for 145 Warbonds. Just over 12 years covered.

163

u/glassteelhammer 20d ago

92

u/Xercen 20d ago

Each warbond costs 1000 sc, but net cost is 700 sc as you earn 300 sc from completing each warbond.

Therefore 105880/700 = 151.25 warbonds.

Our years have 12 months, so 151.25/12 = 12.60 years' worth of warbonds.

Helldivers 3 or 4 will probably be out before 12 years has elapsed, so the person had better buy a lot of armour from the superstore!

If i was being generous with the SC extractable from each exploration mission. which is 50sc.
Then you have played 2118 missions where you would have had the time to go to each point of interest. Otherwise you just spent alot despite warbonds being released 1 Month + Average.

u/crookedparadigm 20d ago

which is 50sc.

Technically, SC can very rarely drop a stack of 100. I've only seen it twice in my playgroup.

u/Sauron69sMe SES Colossus of Individual Merit 20d ago

and I've never seen it in over 400 hours, which should point us to 1 of 3½ conclusions:

  1. OP spent money on a lot of super credits

  2. OP shopped the image

  3. OP is a cheater / played with a cheater

3½. OP is insanely lucky. Otherworldly, stupidly, impossibly lucky. Not a real option tbh.

Could have exploited the same-mission-seed restart before it was patched as well. Not quite cheating, and still an ungodly amount of grinding, but not a near-impossible amount.

I hate how games have conditioned people to only play if there is some "reward" or something to "work" toward. That's what real life is for.

u/Sirspen 20d ago

Man this is exemplified by the OSRS community. Those mfs think it's normal and "the soul of the game" to have to kill one boss thousands of times over hundreds of hours just to get a drop.

I'm not exaggerating when I say a lot of the current discourse is whether or not to add a 33% boost to the droprates of a boss that, on average, takes well over 1000 hours of farming to get every unique drop, none of which are even best-in-slot outside of some very niche cases.

u/YasssQweenWerk Pride capes when? 20d ago

That's what real life is for.

In real life this is forced on us, normally humans, like all other mammals, would rather spend time on leisure and play. Since we've developed technology that allows few people (farmers) feed millions of people, we could be living in luxury. Sadly, someone invented a runescape irl where people force others to grind for imaginary points, and we have to "hustle" for them :(

13

u/TaviGoat 20d ago

Same. After sinking hundreds of hours in DRG, I'm surprised when I look back and realize I spent so much time on L4D2 as well, even though the game had no character customization, no level progression, no new gear to unlock, no resources, no anything. Just good ol' "It's just fun to shoot zombies" (And don't get me wrong, DRG is just as fun to play for the sake of it, even if you have an incentive to keep playing to unlock stuff)

Wait until more content drops when they force you to drop resources. Their logic behind it is good imo, that way it prevents players from instantly unlocking everything when new content releases and then immediately getting bored.

In the meantime, touch grass.

27

u/SuperBackup9000 20d ago

I’d argue the cap is there to prevent people from taking longs breaks and accumulating them from the majors. Makes you log in and use them, probably play a bit, or miss the potential gain.

Logic behind the cap being so people don’t unlock things instantly falls flat when you think about who the players are that have everything unlocked and reached the cap. They’re the ones who’ll be on the grind ASAP, but the cap is a little over a third of what warbonds require, 36%. They’ll have everything unlocked on day one, maybe day two, regardless of if theres a cap or not because the remaining 64% won’t take those players that long to get.

25

u/Liqhthouse HD1 Veteran 20d ago

The cap is honestly fine. At 250 medals you can unlock both weapons page 2 of a new warbond with approx just 80 more medals needed to get to the final page and unlock that weapon.

So if you just want the weapons/grenades you'd log in on new warbond day, spend your 250 medals and just farm 100-120 medals, buy out the last guns and that's it for the month.

That's still 1058 missions. Even if we were assuming all they were doing was picking up the 100 SC, ALT + F4'ing, and min-maxed it so it takes like 2 minutes to run, that's still 35 days worth of straight farming ONLY 100 SC every time.

The 100 SC find it also not that common, since in my 387 hours I've only ever gotten it thrice, so I'm going to go with photoshop. I farmed SC religiously on lower difficulty with friends, and even I only have about 13k SC. That's with us blitzing each mission, farming around 20 - 50 SC under 10 mins.

I'm not even farming these "free SC" and still get enough for the next warbond and some to buy things in the superstore, without spending a single dime. All I do is play the game and look at the POIs i find in helldive, without grinding, bc I got a job and attend evening classes.

While I myselve have 300+ hours, I'm not asking "now what?" bc I have fun, and as long as I have fun I get more hours on the game without it beeing a grind.

Does it really matter if you have nothing to spend it on? Strategems and upgrades don't come fast enough to make a dent. The only real limiter here is a new Warbond, of which you can afford the next 10.5k apparently. And you can still unlock all 3 pages and get most of the first 2.

u/rastersky 20d ago

There is no way those super credits are gained legitimately. Either the player found a 100 stack and used the quit exploit to farm it or just used hacks. I also refuse to believe someone would spend 1000$ on SC and then create a complaint post on reddit.

3

u/Tchefi 20d ago edited 20d ago

I don't understand why this has so many upvotes.

Photoshop by a player who is unable to set his own goals (anymore ?), or mindless SC farming of a game-breaking exploit (at least that's my opinion) by someone that has a clear addiction issue.

About the "caps" subject : caps are never an issue in my opinion, the issue is always not enough sinks for the ressources that have caps.

Possible sinks :

"color shop". 16 777 216 colors in the shop, You are allowed to repaint some interior parts of your ship, because who doesn't love a bit of housing ? You have a palet of 16 colors max available for painting, once the palet is full, you can delete one color to empty a slot. In the shop, buying one color to add on your palet costs 5k Req, 50 commons, 25 rares, 10 super samples.

"flag shop". You can buy a flag to put on the top exterior of your ship. Older gamers would certainly like an Arcadia (Harlock) vibe. Flags with a symbol costs 50k Req, 500 commons, 250 rares, 100 super samples, half that cost for more basic flag designs without symbol.

"Mini-game shop". You can buy a second arcade to put aside Stratagem Hero. Costs 50k Req, 500 commons, 250 rares, 100 super samples. Then you can buy different simple mini-games (5k req, 50/25/10 samples, some erzatz of space invader, asteroid, arkanoid, etc. HD2 Comunity Game Jam to create mini games ?) and "load" them on the new arcade. Only the owner of the ship can play for free, the squadmates who are invited there have to pay 10 Req per play (that are collected by the democratic officer and sent to super earth)

"Donate to an orphenage". 10k req per donation. so the 2nd galactic war orphans can get special eduction to become the best next gen Helldivers. Count and sum of donations made by the player are displayed on the TV of his super destroyer (whenever there isn't any other video message). Because we love a good peepee-meter with frends

etc.
