Why is Zanny the most American filipino ever

[@user-yq3gd8bf8p]

character wise, he's the whitest filipino ever

[@dragonzlucas]

American television probably. Its a common thing in many places for people to pick up an American accent when speaking English even if they have never been to America due to an overexposure of American media. Idk Zanny's situation though so it could be something else.

[@zen_7748]

Filipinos in general tend to be the most Westernized Southeast Asians. We love Americans and American culture. And we were under American occupation for a while after they booted the Spanish from the country. Then the Japanese became the ones doing the occupation after booting out the Americans. When the Japanese pushed the Americans out of the Philippines, the Americans came back a few years later and clapped their cheeks and dropped a 500kg bomb on two of their citites. So even though Americans were the colonizers for almost five decades, they ultimately liberated the Philippines from Japanese occupation and gave the Philippines the opportunity for independence a couple years after the end of World War 2.

For those who don't know the lore of the original Helldivers from like 2015 I think. The bugs (I'm pretty sure they only got the name "Terminids" much later in the timeline) were originally peaceful but the humans started attacking the bugs for some unknown reason (probably for oil) and thats how the first galactic war started, then later on in the war a large group of humans tried to peacefully rebel against the Super Earth government but were labled as terrorists and attacked by the Helldivers so they retreated to a planet called Cyberstan where they modified themselves with cybernetic enhancements so they could fight back against the Helldivers and started tag teaming the Helldivers with the bugs. This went on for a while longer and none of the factions had really made much progress, when eventually a new alien faction called the Illuminate came along and tried to make peace with the humans, but of course the Super Earth government didn't like that and sent the Helldivers after them. Somehow the Helldivers eventually managed to win the 3v1 and completely banished the Illuminate from the galaxy, sealed away the Cyborgs in the mines of Cyberstan, and captured the bugs to use as test subjects and finally give them an actual name. Skip ahead a hundred years or so, and the second galactic war has started. The Terminids have escaped containment, the Automatons (the "children" of the Cyborgs) are on a mission to retake Cyberstan and free their creators, and the Illuminate aren't here yet but have been teased in some illegal broadcasts.

Zanny: "The charger is so tanky" That's why you bring the flamethrower and aim specifically for one leg the whole time you're cooking it. Makes short work of them.

[@potatopolitics420]

Thx for tip

[@chaywarburton3488]

not even half a clip if you do that. works better than arc thrower. Arc is better against the smaller horde masses when you're at range still.

[@zen_7748]

@@chaywarburton3488 That's about right. Anywhere between a third to half of a canister will kill a charger if your aim is decent and if you focus on the same leg. So before you need a resupply, you could potentially kill eight chargers at worst.

[@Antboi4653]

​@zen_7748 flamethrowers rail guns and autocannons are the best. Flamethrowers aim for the legs the other two aim for the butt

[@eloverlord96]

Mechs are in fact one of the best stratagems against bugs, more if there is more than one mech on the team, 3 mechs can wipe easily hordes of lesser Bugs and a lot of Bile Titans and Chargers, just one Mech already does a lot for the team if used well, they can also be used to clear Bug Holes and destroy Eggs pretty quickly. With Chargers one rocket to the leg then kill it once you blow the armor with the gatling if you don't wanna spend more rockets, Bile Titans if you aim good enough to the head you can kill them with 2 rockets sometimes even one depending on their health, but forget about killing them with the gatling, maybe is doable if they're on very low health already but usually their armor are going to deflect most bullets. Just know Mechs are mainly vulnerable against acid (it can destroy the mech very fast), the melee of small Bugs seems to don't do damage or do a very small amount of damage, but I think is the first (Commanders probably do damage, since they're bigger), of course a melee from a Charger can take your Mech down, but you can block their charge attack using the armor of your Mech (I recommend better to dodge it laterally). Against automatons you gotta watch out for rockets and explosions in general, 1/2 rockets can take your Mech down, but you don't have to worry much about small laser weapons, same as Bugs, they don't seem to do much damage or maybe nothing at all to the Mech. Use cover frequently if you use the Mech against Automatons, they're not that good against them compared against Bugs but they're still useful though, you can take various tanks, laser turrets, etc easily as long as you evade any rockets or explosions. Plus you get to call 2 Mechs during the match.

I wonder what Zanny would crate Deep Rock compared to Helldivers. Personally I would say Deep Rock is 9.5/10 as there is very little that they really need to ass(if anything). But Deep Rock, like all games, does lose the play value once you have unlocked everything at the time. Well....besides playing with bros having fun slaying, but new games can accomplish that and more once a game has a stale moment.
