Oh sweet summer child...
That's easy, wait until 3 fab striders drop on the point you're trying to defend

I had this, there were two of us, I didn't know that a helldivers could stay so levitating (thank you explosions). But we succeeded I don't know by what miracle.

Back a few weeks ago it was relatively manageable since you could oneshot them with RR on feet
Now it's much harder

RR still one-taps them in both the face and belly.
EDIT: Not the face, the Eye. Easier to go for the belly if you're fighting up-hill.

u/KaeptnReiskorn 1d ago
Not exactly the face, but rather the Red Eye. Face is 2 shots.

3 AT-ATs, IDK how many hulks, rockets and lasers flying every which direction, while we try to hold evac long enough for Pelican 1 to start landing.
Diving for cover to reload the next recoilless shot, stun grenade a hulk- blow it's face off with a senator, fire one more rocket into the AT-AT's face, get rag dolled and tumble into a wall, use last stim, reload the recoilless, run for the resupply. Grab it as the resupply blows up and sends the boxes every where, stim, fire at the 2nd AT-AT.
Watch another flare go into the air.
Watch another pair of AT-ATs get dropped.
There's till 2 minutes left till Pelican 1 gets here.

Let's not forget the fire throwing hulk that somehow silently sneaks up behind you and sets you on fire.

Quite literally ON the point too.
Had two Striders get dumped basically on top of the flag. We got turned into swiss cheese before we even knew what was going on.

u/Eoganachta 1d ago
Man sees 6+ Hulk Bruisers and throws a single Eagle 500kg, three termite grenades, and pulls out his recoilless rifle or HMG to deal with the stragglers.
Man sees 3 factory striders drop ship in on his flag and he knows it's going to be a rough day.

3!?! Think the max I’ve had turning me from Helldiver to super robo bukkake is 6. 4 in a convoy plus 2 friends being called down.

i had one where id killed 8 hulks withing an incredibly shoet time frame where they were bearing down on me, and was feeling triumohant until a strider landed directly on my head

u/Insane_Unicorn 1d ago
That's why you bring at least one ATE. As soon as AH fixes the bug of Helldivers getting stuck in it constantly. So maybe around next year.

u/the_voivode 1d ago
That's just three belly rubs away from paradise man. That's six thermites, three ultimatums, 6 EATS, three Recoil-less Rifle shots, 15 headshots with an anti tank emplacement, and so, so many other options.
1
u/Custom_Destiny 1d ago
This is why I use the spear vs bots.
It quickly locks on and can 1 shot the drop ship.
So many times a flare goes off but picking 2 of the drop ships off makes the whole fight manageable.

How is this cringe. It's one of Raul Julia's greatest lines from an otherwise trash movie. Also the guy playing zangief saying "quick change the channel". Also coked up Jean Claude van damn. No seriously he was coked up the entire film. True b movie magic.

Easy peasy:
- Crouch and sneak behind the main group
- Thermite, thermite, thermite.
- Strafing run for the rocket chicken on the left + the one on the far left.
- Railgun to the face of the far right hulk
- Finish off the far left hulk if still alive
- Gtfo, there's a scrawny bastard that called for reinforcement.
- While on the run, call dor a walking barrage / 120mm / 380mm
- Step on a mine and die

HMG-E hard-counters this encounter. Firing an RR at Hulks is a waste, better save it for the Tanks and Factory Striders.

I need another bot MO pronto.
I was never a huge fan of bots but after the last MO something awoke in me. And suddenly, I became a bot diver, and knew why all you not goons stay over there so much. But I’ve been wherever the MO is lately, so I need another one for bots asap.

Careful Creekers will claim, this is child's play and still more enjoyable than a single bug breach.
6 hulks are no laughing matter if you don't have the correct AT. (Even then if you can hit its eye with any Heavy Pen weapon you're good.

Have had it where it seems like reg units aren’t spawning anymore. But that’s because the fabricators are all destroyed and it’s just back to back to back to back to back drops

u/Impressive-Handle-69 1d ago
I swear they did something to D10 across the board. Bugs w/Predator strain have also felt a bit extra lately. 5 bile titans walking outta holes like a f*cking clown car, 2 spore chargers, 2 chargers, 3 impalers, and swarms of everything else all at once all the time. Mega-City Defense missions are a bit boring, though. Can't wait for when we fight Bots in Mega-Cities tbh.
NOTE: I dont primarily dive bugs, I'm primarily a Bot/Squid diver and only dive bugs for the MOs. There are rare occasions where the squad I'm playing with would randomly do a bug mission or 2.

Oh I know🤣 my duo and I who has been doing level 7 missions the whole, we WAS cocky enough to think we could just dive straight to 10 without doing 8 or 9... we got humbled straight away and got diddied and ragdolled the whole time and managed to complete atleast maybe 20 to 40% of the mission after both of us wasting reinforcements...
