The eruptor still good. My favorite way of using is dolphin dive away and shoot it can take out the small bunch of enemies. Or blast me away from danger...love it

[@rolanalcantara5430]

Subbed, this was like listening to a conversation I'd be having with other HD2 players. Looking forward to more of these. keep it up guys!

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

We will be here every week! Thanks!

[@SpartanFlashSentry]

I'm waiting to find out that the devs made a typo, and instead of 1/4 they typed in 1:4.

[@TableTopBiker]

Starting the vid now. Thanks for posting again.

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

We will be here every week!

A fire damage reduction armor is just what this game needs. Not so much that fire damage needs to be reduced any more, but to promote that kind of squad position. "Hey guys, I am rolling flame thrower, so I will be up close taking out the small guys while you work on taking out the big guys."

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

This guy gets it.

The group I play with have a varied stratagem build. I usually go eruptor, stun grenades, jump pack, hmg, and cluster bombs. I usually get up high and kill the big guys with my eruptor while the guy with the rover back pack mowes over the little guys.

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

Complementary loud-outs. Good job Helldiver!

[@tommylovejoy8730]

You 2 guys vibe very well and are very relaxed,casual and a joy to listen to. It's a nice change from sweaty know it all's. Well done guys

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

Thanks! Glad you like the show.

[@josephwilson6272]

Thank you for the frank and sane take on the balance patch!

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

That’s what we are here for!

[@josephwilson6272]

Oh but I also should mention that there were waaaay more buffs than nerfs

[@jasonpatrickolynyk8174]

i was just telling my Bro on the weekend that it sucked that more people weren't on Hellmire, that if we lost that one the Bugs would come back in force, Guy tells me that Omnicron (I 8) was the better idea to lower the sectors defence.. turns out we are Ducked. I thought it was just the Torch Hulk also, going to have to re read the Patch Notes. good Vid guys keep up the good Work spreading Democracy

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

Thank you!

[@r2theicky92]

Saltdivers? 😂 I dig it!

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

Branding 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol

[@xXDeadSkulllXx]

The flame thrower takes out the rhinos really good now.

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

Been rocking that for this new major order. It’s doing really well

[@creatureeye3040]

So I haven’t tested it myself because I haven’t unlocked them yet, but I heard that the smoke stratagems will suppress fire. Maybe not the tornado but the fire burning on the ground.

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

Tested….not very useful at the moment.

[@b0neless437]

Thoughts on the Meridia supercolony? Shit's so bad down there we cant even land yet 💀

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

We must investigate.

[@chrishouseinc]

Quasar wasn't really a "nerf" but more of a balance to bring it in line with comparable options. EATs can be called in 2 at a time every 70 sec, quasar can shoot 4-5 times in the time it takes to call in 2 EATs making the Quasar still superior when talking about raw DPS.

[@kahtanalobaidi1550]

Yeah but u can carry a whole other weapon with eats.

[@Jase14aDestroyer]

13:10 and had to pause it. Regarding the spawn rates solovsgroup. We started off by being told. A lvl 4 mission and barely made it out. And then solo 4 and 5 apparently different but still the same...? Couldn't really gauge from the response. But as an SOS responder I can wholeheartedly say that the change was universe wide. But something KZbinrs s and m to gloss over. I'm pretty sure since the patch no diver had an somewhat enjoyable drop with moments of frustrations. If they haven't been experiencing nothing but frustrations. Had to take R&R from the week myself this week, because in the end the "balance" changes coupled with the artificial difficulty increase isn't the way to go for AH if they give 2 sh*ts about the casuals, the adults with family lives to contend with and what not other reasons people might have to be able to spend atleast a hour and a half to a game. Because live service sure, but if your game ends up being work. I start up a game to decompress and mostly have fun. AH needs to tread carefully cause that distinction is being lost fast!

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

Father of 3 here casually playing solo on level 4-5 bugs and bots. Iv noticed a difference but not one that I cant compensate for by using different weapons and stratagems. Thanks for the comment! Thanks for watching

[@volcoff007]

i don't even know what to call these people, just learn to play the game and learn to be proficient killing machine, adjusting accordingly to the paradigms of the game. I like that AH does not kowtow to the community's cry babies. WoW has become so easy that casual players have more say than avid players. Get good! Defiantly skill issue. Podcast rocks! could be a little longer to delve deeper into topics. imo only hehe

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

30mins is that sweet spot for now. Definitely could talk about this game for longer tho!

[@andrewholland2763]

You call these people Hell criers

[@buttholebandito9895]

Enjoy the dwindling player base lmao. “GiT gUDD”
