SHOULD U BUY THE NEW WARBOND? INSANE NEW WEAPON & SHIELD TESTED, HELLDIVERS 2 URBAN LEGENDS

[@ingvar2821]

I'm more surprised with new armor passive: It tells you, that it increases mag count for Primary (and reload speed, that feel awesome) What it NOT tell you - it increase stratagem mags too. Like, MG-43 with this armor have 4 spare mags instead of 3, railgun have 24 rounds, name it - it increased. I LOVE IT!

[@Misfiring89]

Most likely a bug that will be addressed.

[@Suomiwimbula]

mg-43 secret primary confirmed

[@GameFuMaster]

@@Suomiwimbula imagine an armor kit that lets you replace your current weapon with anything (if your support is slot is already equipped). For example. You replace your secondary with a MG, while holding a railgun, and your primary is a xbow (or a flamethrower if you really want)

[@DO_Takeshi]

SHHHHHH DONT LET THEM HEAR YOUUUU

[@-Ozer-]

After testing myself, on all the factions, I can say -- Baton is much better than the spear. Spear has a very small hitbox and a sad range for a spear. Baton was a wide hitbox and can stably hit multiple enemies at a time

[@ingvar2821]

I cannot disagree more. Tested both melee, even with melee DMG increased armor, and what I discovered: Of you want DMG - take spear, somehow it deals more, more constantly 1-2 shot zombies. You want more "cleave" range - take baton, its much better at holding huge horde of enemies, but only hold, spear clears same number much faster

[@anpan6282]

Feel like they need to up the dmg on the lance and baton. If it’s not one shot kills on the zombies it can get really tiring really fast

[@ingvar2821]

​@@anpan6282well, on diff 7+ - agree, the enemies number is just insane there. Melee helps, but its not gonna impact much. Still though - it's fun, and I'll use it a lot! 😂

[@anpan6282]

@@ingvar2821 the increased melee dmg will be good “when I’m out of ammo, I’m just gonna biff baff bam and give me some space before I can reload” but the melee weapons needs to be semi-viable on their own.

[@ThePackman627]

Am I missing something? Where is the baton in the game?

[@berserkerpride]

They really have to make ballistic shield block enemy melee from the front. Would give it something compared to directional energy shield.

[@schattensonner]

Exactly my thought

[@Thuperdude2]

Now that we have melee weapons they may actually work on that. Fingers crossed! This is awesome

[@K.H0P]

For real!!! Like give it a Spartan shield bash or something

[@BiggieJ4224]

I agree, but to be fair the ballistic shield still has a pretty big advantage of never breaking unlike directional energy shield

[@skylerspurlock4755]

Now we should never get bored with Helldivers!

[@P.vieRa_YT]

Well we’re eating good as Helldivers, for sure. But always have other things you do and other games you play. It helps stave off burnout and keeps you engaged over a longer period of time

[@atlgameslayergaming]

That ship came and RKO'd you outta nowhere 😂😂😂

[@Stephenmichaelwellness]

Watch out watch out watch out !!!! lol

[@thomasbutcher8749]

The old school shield is better for physical attacks whilst the new shield absorbs the energy shots better...

[@MsMirekPL]

Damn I wish directional energy shield worked with MGs It would be nuts!

[@NATEDAWG243]

Fr I was kinda disappointed it only works with secondarys

[@zc4905]

Arc Thrower/Blitzer was absolutely shredding shit on Lv10 difficulty

[@BiggieJ4224]

Melee weapons definitely need a buff to make them more viable, buff the damage (really should be way higher, being closer is a risk so you should be rewarded with high damage output) and the range, and stagger for each one Spear - better range, damage, and stagger (I agree with the animations and light and heavy attacks, but how sick would it be to also be able to throw the spear and have it come back to you via electro magnets like caps sheild? Like imagine throwing the spear to stun a big ass enemy and then it comes back to you and you combo it with your other weapons) Baton- better attack speed, widespread aoe damage, and stun effect (Same concept for the baton with light and heavy attacks, but idk yet what special thing the baton should have like how the spear can be thrown)

[@peternewton2808]

Now we need a primary weapon with a high ammo count.

[@hquan1]

Can we combine the new shield with one handed smg?

[@big_gucci_scorpio328]

Great build give been using is arc blitzer stun baton and arc thrower with frag grenades and the shock resist armor, with the jump pack tesla tower (which is amazing against the squids btw) and finally the EMS mortar to lock down everything, you got so many stunning capabilities that your untouchable and when you gotta get away the jump pack is there for a quick escape button, like seriously i had to take off the stun grenades becuase i never used them and decided to swap to frag grenades for blowing up the ships

[@JonthanWardlaw]

Get the stun baton from super store and your shield. Then charge into the zombie horde. Beating them senseless. You can swing it five time to the stun Trident 2 swings.

[@DrMugg88]

Will it be better with the meele knife armor? Forgot the bonus in that one

[@znail4675]

That is what he used.

[@skylerspurlock4755]

Did you buy the other melee and stuff not in the warbond? The stuff on the store or whatever

[@loganperry3156]

Can you use the directional shield with a weapon?? Primary or Support weapon?

[@LambentV]

Only if its onehanded

[@mbk337]

Man, I think gas grenades/armor/orbital with melee and the shield could be really fun

[@NiIs03]

Its like a mix from the bots and bugs like ranged enemy’s and chav that swarms you melee

[@jamesmcfarland6754]

Stalwart, blitzer, hmg placement, 500

[@DALONEWOLF108]

I had a feeling the blitzer would be effective against these guys you need medium armor pen it’s a must against these guys

[@kibblezzz]

NEW WARBKND??!?!! LETS GOOO

[@DrChaotix21]

I need an entire team to run only melee weapons.

[@exo-gladius4805]

A full team wearing heavy armor with 'peak physique' perk and bring the balistik-shield backpack and stun lance. "WHAT YOUR OCCUPATION, BOYZ!!!!!!!!!!" "HAU HAU HAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@P.vieRa_YT]

This faction seems to be an in between of bots and bugs

[@Aquablade95]

These are just there infantry units wait until there elites show up no one is ready

[@fenickungleonza2571]

it's bug rn your armor buff only work whenyou use melee button

[@Prockski]

Did you try the stun baton?

[@deanrantz1112]

Nice....When did they boost Peak Physique from 50% - 100% .....

[@marktopman1487]

Last night

[@zakirbakar3540]

Definitely spear needs a buff

[@NOVA-hd7lh]

How do you do the kick that they showed off

Its an emote on the warbond

1:00 HAHAHAHA

[@happyrock5478]

So does make the energy shield just make the riot shield , out classesd?

[@cameronransford9936]

I don’t think you can use it w smgs or the crossbow, only secondarys so in that case the riot shield would be a better choice.

[@Saved2_447]

U can use msgs with the new shield too

[@賴柏諭-t7x]

@@cameronransford9936Actually you can.

[@technoviking2415]

What I was waiting for

[@GameFuMaster]

if the bots had this level of inaccuracy, they would be a lot more fun

[@ItsJavaJawa]

Shooting at them makes them inaccurate

[@GameFuMaster]

@@ItsJavaJawa only really for the small bots. Have you ever tried to outgun a heavy devastator? It'll still end up hitting you even if you're landing shots on it. And illuminate miss even when you're not shooting at them, if you keep moving they'll miss 90% of the time.

[@znail4675]

Illuminate is kinda that opposite as the other factions are glass cannons that are easy to kill but really dangerous, Illuminate are less dangerous, but takes a while to chew down.

[@dn2010]

Aim for the legs first then get a easy kill with a head hit

[@bhu987us]

How does this new shield get activated? How does it work?

[@deadlyapollo]

One handed weapons/secondaries

[@Clogmonger]

The game already stole MGS5's movements, now it's going metal gear survive with the spears 😂 joking aside, it looks good tho

[@Flameshot_]

Bloom needs to be removed asap, trying to shoot small enemies in the air flying with huge bloom is not fun

no it actually plays really well in my opinion
