i was LOVING the DSS. fighting under that infinite treason bombardment was fantastic, and what the game is all about. i did a level 10 mission without a single death. we had no real problems unless people panicked and freaked out and ran off. people complaining about it apparently dont understand how many planets there are in this game. =] we have options. and i want the option to have hell raining down on my head. i miss it already.

great video, also reminder to continue the gambit on Mastia, the eagle storm on the DSS has bought us enough time to finish the gambit.

[@SESAegisofDemocracy]

We have enough time, but unfortunately I don’t think we have the manpower. So many people are going to Gaellivare.

[@austinfournier5445]

​@SESAegisofDemocracy Yeah, I started going to Gaeli before I realized the DSS was just supposed to be buying time for Mastia. Then I realized that like 3/4 of people had gone to Gaelli and the liberation rate on Mastia had gone through the floor. I think at this point dogpiling in Gaelli might be our best option.

[@TheNukedNacho]

Being support/dedicated Anti-Tank is fun. Just ran an ICBM mission a while ago. Bugs managed to bring up a breach fairly close to us. While two of my teammates were dealing with the chaff, I was on Recoilless duty. Charger popped out of the breach. Not a second after one of them pinged it, it received a rocket to the face. Just as I got my rocket reloaded, another one came out and I did the same thing. A bit later in the mission, a Bile Titan decided our direction was were it wanted to walk. Leader called it out. I was standing behind him, and I fired. Maybe a bit too close for comfort but it took the Titan down and boss was unscathed.

This makes me think there should be mission hazards that limit what you could bring. just a single type of stratagem like no eagle airstrikes, no orbitals, no backpack/special weapons (though there could be more to scavenge from the map), or no automated turrets. That would force people to try different load-outs and be a memorable mission.

[@RevanReborn3950BBY]

While I personally would find that cool, the community hated the reduced stratagem slot one, so they would lose their shit if they couldn’t bring their “meta” weapons

[@therealdemen247]

@@RevanReborn3950BBY Yeah, for that reason I think penalties are probably a better way to introduce that rather than omiting their use. I had the idea months ago of "Contested Airspace" or "Contested Orbit" modifiers that do things like increasing the call in or cooldown time of eagles, or periodically refusing the use of orbitals because your destroyer is defending itself. Visual indicators would be really cool, like fighters chasing your eagle, or automaton ships firing at your destroyers that blow up when the effect ends. That's kind of a lot but I think it'd be great for the experience.

[@BriManeely]

That ending scene was brilliant

[@Nynkx]

The unexpected surprise comfort combo that I tapped into for wanting to try stim pistol because well.. it's free stims... best support... was getting the drip from Trench Paramedic light stim armor and Light Gunner Helmet with a supply pack and gas grenades, then I figured we can top off that WW medic look with the constitution which left me with 3 other stratagems to play with. Figuring a heavy hitter generalist and mobile weapon was in order I grabbed a railgun. Boy... I have never peeled fleets of hunters away from an ally so efficiently in my life. You run in, stim your patient and dive yourself slightly closer to the enemies than them and begin tapping and stabbing. Since people like to run and stop alot. When they run, you stim them and reload before doing it again. Consitution REALLY likes this playstyle and when you have another meatbag near you, melee becomes a lot more viable without dying. Factor in the gas nades and railgun and you have a really nice kit that loves to control and skirmish, that ALSO has that beautiful deep red and green saturated color that pairs well with a viper commando cape for the very thematic WW style Chemical Harmasist look xD I kind of just wish the stim pistol wasn't soooo bloom heavy. I mean we get 5 shots for a reason and 24 extra but it's nearly impossible to save someone that needs it most for anything further than 10m away which sounds about right and yeah is kind of reasonable. But it's sitting right on the edge of crappy when you gotta pour so much skill into trying to support and SAVE someone with a low health pool and you miss 3-4 of the first shots because of leading target, adjustment and THEN bloom. After all that they have probably already stimmed themselves and you realise you could have spent all that time to just get a little closer but the choice was stop and fire or potentially watch them die always right as you are about to heal because you had to get closer on a ranged weapon to compensate for it's INCONSISTENCY at saving lives xD Those moments aside stim pistol still amazing when you are within that effective range. To finish it off with a bonus bit of spice to the playstyle. Share the feeling of your loadout with allies by bringing a gas strike and dropping gas indiscriminately and using stims to keep them alive. Making sure that they understand the development of the co-dependent relationship, but ultimately subjugating the entire planet with a display of dominance. BUILDINGS ARE YOUR WEAKNESS you have 1 stratagem slot left to fix that, do with it as you please xD

Man my absolute favorite load out of all time has always been Heavy armor, Heavy machine gun, supply pack, and both incendiary and anti tank mines. An absolute beast of a combo for digging in your heels and holding a position

[@winter3960]

The preview you gave the group that helped in the intro was funny, but this strategy is so much funnier than we expected

[@Blakobness]

I still love using mines, it's just hard to justify bringing them over more active stratagems. They get such high value in setting up for extract since you can just send them out immediately on arrival and they'll be up by the time you need them on an objective. You can also just throw them down at main objectives as you pass by it to do POIs to set yourself up later to shave CD on them. Mines are supposed to be getting some reworks according to some official comments from the last big patch notes, so I'm really looking forward to what may come from new changes.

[@sapphomett]

I started to enjoy a lot the spear on the bot front these past two weeks, and having to play a little bit "further" back because of its targeting made me reconsider my loadout. Before, I was very much into the "in your face" kind of things (because if the tip of your gun is in the enemy’s mouth, you can’t miss your shots), like anything shotgun-like paired with flamethrowers and gas, even bringing HMG with peak physic armor in melee against bugs (still kinda do 😅) Now my loadout is more about keeping trouble off my teamates butts and keeping them alive: Counter sniper to help in fights even across the map, stim pistols paired with the stims booster to keep the team running and smoke grenades with an engineer armor to help the team move forward or fall back safely. As for stratagems: the spear to stop any drop ship or delete heavy units, the shield bubble for cover and a MG sentry to clear chaffs (faster than with the sniper,, which is more for medium units), both on low cooldown, and finally the eagle strafing run for utility to destroy fabricators. It’s like playing the mama bear of the team, always keeping an eye on everyone and making sure they can push through objectives quickly and safely. If we all get 0 death, I’m happy with my work :) Teamplay makes the bugs and bots go away ! 💪

[@dalas-da-bos9649]

Yeah I love the stim pistol, if i find that my set has basically no reason to ever pull out the secondary, that’s what I’m picking. It’s a big part of my battle medic set for bugs with that set being medic armour (medium or light), halt shot gun to buy time for your teammates, stim pistol for healing team mates, your choice of grenade, supply pack, grenade launched and the other 2 stratagem slots are your choice. Your role is to deal with crowds of enemies so your anti tank players can do their job, give them refills with the supply pack if they run out of stuns or ammo but you also can use your supply pack for yourself with the grenade launcher for more crowd control and of course heal them with the stim pistol. You can use your halt against chargers and anything that rushes you or your team mates down like stalkers and brood commanders so they can eliminate them with ease. That’s my favourite set for spreading democracy on bug front besides my air burst rocket launcher set. It probably could work against bots but I haven’t tried it as I always like to run a set that revolves around either the ballistic shield pack or have the energy shield pack with a heavy machine gun. Sorry for my rambling lol. FOR DEMOCRACY!!!

[@therewillbefire1833]

This is something I do regularly, both because its fun and because it relates to personal character lore.

[@SteveMorris-c2r]

So I have been doing some heavy armor testing and I found that red offensive stratagems are less effective in heavy armor because they often require proper positioning that is harder to achieve due to the slower move speed. That said blue and green stratagems are unimaginably powerful as they don't care how slow you move. Blue stratagems tend to move with you so they are always available and green tend to deal damage with out you present. When your playing in heavy armor I find it better to play as the teams anchor, some where your less armored team mates can fall back to. The combined power of a drone, support weapon, turret and minefield makes for a lot of firepower and no enemy will live long after walking into a well prepared defensive line. The best part is you can be aggressive with it too as you can just set up your defensive line right outside an enemy base and shell it from afar then walk in and burn the cleared base out. I settled on a set up of heavy engineer armor with the halt, verdict, frags, guard dog, EAT, MG turret and anti personnel mines. On the bug front this build can easier net you 450+ kills a mission. On the bot front I switch the verdict to the senator and the mines for the shield relay

After one too many friendly fire incidents, my mercs have shredded the contract with high command.

No ill will is held by Infernus towards those on the automaton front - and yet, we have renewed our contract with the shipyards on Aurora Bay. May the purifiying flame of the black sun shine on S.E High Command, Iron and Flame stand united once more.

[@Random8870]

Imagine if AH changed DSS to be like this: *Added Eagle Patrols *Laser Barrage (plus infinite use for the strategem as a plus) *Orbital Barrage did quick 120mm bursts on enemies like chargers/hulks, but 380s slowly rain on enemies like Titans/Striders *DSS Only boosters (can’t be selected otherwise) *Randomly drops sentries & HMG emplacements near helldivers This would make the DSS so much stronger and versatile

[@feldamar2]

My new favorite build? Oops all turrets. If you need a support weapon, find one, or have a friend call one down later in the mission. The amount of firepower is hilarious. Still haven't found a group willing to do 16x turrets though. oh well.
