Useful tip for you Tom, the fastest way to deal with factory striders is by shooting its completely unarmored underbelly. Best to use Auto Cannon or HMG for fastest and maximum damage. This is easier said than done of course XD

Matimio and drewski? What a team

[@paulhancock]

It feels like a good time for Helldivers to do something big again and give streamers the confidence to commit to playing it. It got lost in the mix a bit when new shooters were released and streamers stopped playing it... But it's still the most fun, meme-filled shooter around.

[@keeleevraa]

you don't need be influenced by streamers or whatever to play games.... you play only what streamers also are playing? sounds L

[@Tomographic]

@@keeleevraa I don't think that's what he's implying. The Helldivers 2 community has had a rough couple of months with some weird stuff going on at Arrowhead and Sony so the community is looking for another win. This patch is a good step in the right direction and though I've still been playing the game a lot when I'm not making content. There hasn't been anything fresh or exciting to cover in a while meaning HD2 is missing out on a lot of good promo and praise from content creators.

[@SimoWill75]

@@Tomographic Mate. Don't feel you need new stuff to make content​, you're always entertaining, even solo. But throw in guys like Drewski, Aculite, Stone etc... it's just so much fun.

[@Nate0493]

Been waiting for another helldivers video!

[@AntonioBean]

It was one of your first HD2 videos that convinced me to get this game, despite me being very reluctant due to it being a third-person shooter, which I do not like. Alas, I have now more than 600 hours in the game. I have to in a way thank you for that. I want to leave a small comment on your gameplay if I may. I know that people have play styles and preferences, and in most recent videos or streams, with Stodeh for example, the stratagem choices have always been the same. There are so many different ways you can combine stratagems and weapons, and also you have a squad to play, so I would urge you to more team play gameplay as it is amazing in this game. Leave the "meta" thinking behind and play Helldivers 2 to its full potential, you might enjoy it more, and have an urge to play your GOTY also when no new content is added, you know, because you have fun with the game as for what it is. Have a nice evening :)

[@Tomographic]

Oh I definitely mess around with all kinds of loadouts but at level 9 difficulty and playing with the guys like I was here, both of which haven't played in a while, I figured Eagle Airstrike, Railcannon and Orbital Laser were the best picks. For me, they're some of the most fun too even if they are "meta" 😅

[@SimoWill75]

More Tomo and Drewski! Love your HD2 vids, but Drewski too? So good.

There's the blinking red gun on the bottom left and the PRESS 1 2 3 to change weapons *banner* at the bottom of the screen reminding you that you were empty lol. Also, thanks for coming back to the game. I watched you guys play this when it first came out and I didn't have the game so I had no idea what was going on.

[@BipolarBLKSheep]

This update has UNINTENTIONALLY increased enemy frequency and spawns when it was supposed to decrease it. They changed the enemy quantity scaling rate back to what it was before, but additionally added more patrols in general so the map doesnt appear to be "empty" when players are away from major objectives or points of interest. These patrols seem to be magnetic and just come right for the players regardless of where they are and they each will call in additional bot drops or bug breaches almost instantly upon one closing. This change inadvertently undid any adjustments they made to fix the insane amount of enemies we were facing before, and in turn made things more difficult, resulting in what feels like a constant barrage of enemies with little to no moments to breathe. Unfortunately, changes not working as intended, seems to have become SOP for Arrowhead :/ I cant recall a single patch/update that hasn't resulted in this phrase being mentioned by a dev, in some way. I'm loving most of the changes they made involving the weapons and stratagems buffs as well as some of the QoL changes, but the new armor passive not working, the spawns/patrols being infinitely worse than before, and the other known issues, some existing and some new, are becoming quite frustrating.

[@peteoconnor6388]

Pre-Update Helldive was all anti-tank. Levels 7 and 8 were many of all enemies which made it much harder to optimize your load out. This new update is, imo, how Helldive should be. I love the new update.
