      A lot of stuff should be basekit for certain things.
      For instance the ammo booster could easily be basekit for how often people take it. It's almost mandatory.
      Makes the booster meta stale.

      They need to do much more than that, this gun has weird flaws that get in the way of it's design. Example:
      -They either make it like the Dominator, hard-htitting, slow to control but pretty accurate still
      OR
      -They make it handle like a dream but be useless outside of short range.
      Unfortunately they are trying to make it both and oh boy is it bad.
      The gun is ok, mostly only good for bugs, but when even the Constitution feels better for bots is pretty insane, but that's what horrible accuracy will do to you.

    One thing I did notice about the stun rounds on the halt is that they can stun chargers mid charge if you shoot them in the face/jaw area, really good to hold them down or stop them from ploughing you in a microsecond. Also on the bot front, it's super useful for making heavy devatators put their shield down for a bit.

    It's weird that they call it unflinching when you still flinch and get interrupted whenever you try to heal. I still feel if you're aiming a rocket and you get hit you will miss your shot.

    I absolutely love this warbond so far. For me, the submachine gun is perfect - but I almost exclusively play with a squad, and let them pick the gimmick weapons allowing me to run automatics for cleanup and mowing small enemies down and/or cover them if they get overrun. The tenderizer was my personal fave for that, but with the medium pen of this weapon I think this'll take the cake easy. The plasma pistol is *just* out of reach atm, but I definitely want it. Am a huge fan of plasma weapons, I love each and every one of them - was so looking forward to the pistol and am so glad to hear that it's good! Love your videos btw!

      For example, armor with explosion resistance, has recoil dampening. Why not split it up and add more to it?
      Move the explosion resistance to the extra nade armour instead.
      Slap recoil dampening onto the viper armours.
      As for generalist armor, just have them trade perks for raw durability and speed.

    About assault rifles.
    Automatons(Light Pen): Almost useless, unless you have med/heavy pen support weapon and/or secondary weapon. Without it any striders is huge pain in the ass.
    Automatons(Medium Pen): Nice but high recoil ruins them, also they consume large amount of ammo. B-1 backpack is required.
    Bugs(Light Pen): Must be used with backpack due to high ammo consumption(shit ton of bugs), though it isn't bad for Quasar users. Can't effectively kill hordes of bugs, also struggling with Hive Guards, Alpha Commanders and Bile Spewers. First due to them having Medium armor, others just take too long to kill them.
    Bugs(Med Pen): Same as for Light Pen. Can't as well kill hordes of bugs; Alpha Commanders with Bile Spewers take too many shots to take down. Recoil still an issue.
    Summary: Assault rifles generally worse weapon choice because player can't really assault enemies with them and has numerous disadvantages while fighting enemies.

      True, but i dont understand why recoil is an issue. To me high ap = more gunpowder = more recoil, i f.e. dont appreciate that the lib pen deals less damage than lib base since it must have either a faster or heavier projectile. I use lib pen on burst because of the recoil. I think ap3 ar's should do more damage, but smaller mags (larger brass) and a lot of recoil. Burst should be standard for accuracy, as with faster, higher ap bullets, 2-3 shots should be plenty to shred an automaton head or joint.

      @ yeah, real world premises would probably not work as nicely, as it leaves most secondaries as redundant, if not useless.
      What it’ll ultimately come down to is AH asking itself what general identity they want ARs to have, if there’s an unexplored/unfulfilled niche, and why a player would choose an AR over some other weapon.
      I suggest ammo capacity because the lighter ARs struggle to compete with the Sickle’s infinite ammo. So some damage buffs could be in order, but ammo would also be useful, as 5 100-round mags, for example, would be functionally equivalent to infinite ammo, given typical supply drop rates and ammo pickup spawn frequency.

    I think the problem with assault rifles and automatic weapons in general in this game is the fact that our supplies are often so limited, and assault weapons are so greedy when it comes to ammo consumption (thanks to their damage being distributed more slowly through more rounds down range, instead of each bullet dealing decent damage.) that they've become super impractical to bring, in pretty much any instance. Why bother bringing a weapon that fires more - but weaker rounds - when you can bring a harder hitting weapon that just requires you to be more conservative with your aim, and supplement that with a sentry.

    Since they usually bunch up: a single grenade to the sack detonates all nursing spewers, 2 takes out the bile spewers. It also one-taps striders in a pinch.

  • @DeadlyNightshadeZ
    @DeadlyNightshadeZ หลายเดือนก่อน

    For the Halt, I stay on flechette rounds until I encounter a heavy. I switch to stun rounds to stun the heavy, then throw a thermite, then one more stun shot to keep it there. Two blasts to the face of a charger stops it mid charge, even through the armour. Having him hold still so I can land a perfect thermite on its face and then keeping him there while I run away. Making hulks and devastators stop shooting is also fantastic, and completely shutting down stalkers is great too. I only wish it was easier to swap ammo types, because having to hold the reload button for a whole second to swap ammo is really clunky.

    The shotgun can actually stun chargers. It's very picky about placement but I've been able to stun chargers and make sticking thermite grenades trivial.

    bit late to the party but the vitality booster works really well with dead sprint. it extends the duration of it from about 25 seconds to over 2 minutes. with the stamina booster, vitality, enhanced stims and dead sprint you can literally never stop running, which is pretty fun and great on blitz missions.

    I feel like balancing assault rifles is very tricky as they're so multi purpose that they can easily become over tuned. Also it doesn't help that they added so many without much distinctions between them, making it difficult to make them all feel unique.
    Just spitballing but changing one to be a two round burst with an insane rate of fire like the AN-94 and allowing the liberator carbine to be used with a shield would add some uniqueness.

  • @bronzieblue63
    @bronzieblue63 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Dead Sprint just feels like something that doesn't really have a place in HD2, not while Stamina booster already exists.
    If it gave a flat increase to movement speed overall (not something absurd like going from heavy to medium speed, or medium to light, but maybe just like a half step faster overall, like the mid point between heavy and medium and then medium and light) and ALSO allowed you to continue sprinting while having depleted stamina that'd be solid and a worthy pick, but when we already have Stamina booster it feels like it's redundant in a worse way. Not to mention, your health decays STUPID FAST if you're using Dead Sprint, like walking through razorwire doesn't hurt you as much as this.
    Because looking at it more critically, Stamina booster gives you higher stamina reserves and also makes you regen stamina faster with no potentially negative repercussions like DS has
    To get mileage out of Dead Sprint, you HAVE to deplete all of your stamina for it to do anything, and even then, if you deplete your stamina mid-run, how annoying will it be for people to out of nowhere to start taking ticks of damage as they're running and suddenly being onetapped by a lucky shot? Because now they NEED to pay attention to their stamina and not overextend, otherwise they'll accidentally punish themselves for overextending themselves and proccing Dead Sprint.
    Dead Sprint is the only booster than can affect the player's health breakpoints negatively. This is an impressively poorly thought out booster.

    Dead sprint feels like it should just be ship module upgrade for the individual helldiver. Arrowhead usually has good ideas but for some reason they only put one layer of thought into these things and then they just simply make it happen. There are so many ways to make the game more interesting and fun but they just kinda undersell their own capabilities it feels like.
    A good example would be that the grenade launcher going from 2 to 3 mags was nice but why wasn’t the 1 mag jump an upgrade to purchase for the gun instead of it just being a blanket wide buff?
    I never get to spend my requisitions or samples or anything except medals & super credits every so often.
    So much underutilized potential in this game but perhaps things will one day change.
    Love the new Warbond.

    • @ahatmaker
      @ahatmaker หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      (I'm just a guy, and I know little about developing live service games)
      Overall, the progression system in the first game was significantly more engaging than this one. Some good changes were made, such as implementing different currencies, and the inclusion of warbonds.
      Big difference, to me, is the way the tech trees are somehow simultaneously more of a resource sink, AND less modular. A single mid game upgrade costing hundreds of samples ultimately feels unfulfilling, while in the first game, a few missions worth of samples could result in one or two incremental upgrades for a stratagem or weapon of your choice.
      You're dead on that a lot of the issues with weapons and stratagems could be resolved with a better progression system, and it's such a shame that the game released without that system in place. I imagine balancing is only going to get harder, and we're likely going to need higher difficulties as weapon customization releases, because the baseline performance of weapons has, thankfully, been raised. The development focus on drip feeding new content is producing great results, but with a better foundation on release, so many issues we've run into could have been dodged.

  • @infinitekarma4949
    @infinitekarma4949 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    The art team did amazing for this warbond. However, the fact that we not only didn’t get a heavy set (and they overpriced the hell out of the superstore items) but also got an ass backwards passive shows me the incompetency of whoever pitched and greenlit this into the game. I don’t want to be harsh but I really can’t understand how they looked at this, designed and tested it, and said “yeah, this’ll be great.” Unfliching should be a stat, not a passive. Furthermore, I think ALL resistance armor passives should come with a sub-passive if they’re not going to be immune. For example, arc resistance armor should also apply to EMS and reduce stagger/flinching from arc attacks. Make it make sense.
    To give the devs credit, I believe one of the community managers said this warbond has been in the works for a long time so maybe this is simply an outdated idea. However, I don’t realistically see the devs changing it. The guns also seem to be pretty good and the booster is a decent option depending on who you ask.
    I like the warbond overall but I hope the devs can look at their passive design philosophy and improve upon it.

    • @Sir_Laks
      @Sir_Laks หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      This is my problem with the game as well. If you look at it as a whole, it's great, but the baffling design decisions behind small things really compound into frustration.
      Like how half the boosters in the game are garbage. I usually prefer when armour perks are restricted to their unique armour, but with how bad the perk diversity is at the moment, it would be for the best if they allowed us to customise armour perks, or just rework this system entirely

    • @earthnugget7881
      @earthnugget7881 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think the main issue is the devs see player complaints about the game (getting burned by your own flamethrower, getting aimpunched to high fuck on bots, etc) and instead of just addressing the issue they just make it an armor passive and call it a day. It doesn't actually fix the issue its just a bandaid on it. That and how generally weak the player is atp in the game (I love getting 2 shot by literally everything) makes it just not feel good to play especially on higher difficulties

    My idea for buffing assault rifles is increasing their bullet penetration so they damages 2 enemies per bullet. The one you're shooting and the one behind him.

    The SMG should’ve been classified as an AR, also it might want to have an increase to it’s weaknesses because it’s a pretty much pure upgrade over adjudicator
    ARs, especially on bugs are very versatile, capable of long range but also good for close range DPS, unfortunately, the bugs don’t require any more range than any shotgun and the bots don’t require any less range than scorcher, so ARs lose power in the role you want by playing a role you don’t need, maybe the way to make ARs good is to reduce shotgun range and to make semi-auto rifles harder to aim and use up close.

    Still think the best armor passive is be able to throw items and strats further. If you can get direct hits with your air support or orbitals then most engagements shouldn't require a major fight. If you're sweeping a base I suggest using cover.. flinching is annoying but using cover and the right weapons should mitigate a need for it even with bots. In my opinion. Then again I'm also running dead sprint particularly because I like being able to trade 10% health to get out of an ambush.
