Another peek at General Brasch’s personal armory I suspect

"... Every year on this day, Super Earth citizens will unite for a full 3 minutes of their lunch break in solemn remembrance of those who gave their lives to free Malevelon Creek." -Presidential Decree.

Short animation by Kryptik. 100% accurate.

Try equipping different weapons aboard your ship, by the way.

Now THAT is a big iron on his hip

Unrelated:

My typical bot loadout has been:

• Medic perk armor
• Diligence Counter Sniper
• Stim Pistol
• Thermite
• Stratagems:
  • 500kg
  • Orbital Walking Barrage
  • Quasar
  • AT Emplacement

But, with the IC, I’ve been running and avoiding catching on fire too much to get the emplacement down until extraction, so I have replaced it with the shield generator backpack. If the planet has the DSS barrage perk, I’ll swap the orbital walking with an auto cannon sentry, but I might do that swap always because it distracts the devastators.

I don’t have the fire resistance armors, otherwise I’d consider those, but having the medic perk with the stim pistol has been really useful to help fellow divers save stims.

Helldive Bots no problem. Don't have LOS? Just jump! Not sure where to throw that strat? Fly up and chuck it with confidence! Need a good vantage point for your sentry? No problem! Even good for emergency stims if you're overwhelmed (they might shoot you down tho if it's too hot, their aim isn't great other than Rocket Devs but with enough lasers in the air something is bound to hit eventually).

Combined with the Quasar currently being arguably better than RR right now and free 380s I'm having a GREAT time, especially now that we're done with that ion storm bullshit

What have you been having an unexpectedly good time with recently, Helldivers?

The E/GL-21 Grenadier Battlement Stratagem is now available for 10,000 Requisition Slips in your Super Destroyer.

Give those socialist bots a taste of freedom.
