We aren't ready for Hive Lord missions

[JohnnyOps]

The community skill level is not high enough for Hive Lord missions unless there is a massive crutch for most players to lean on in-game. Any suggestions on what would help the majority of players be able to have fun?

I mean, I think the majority of players are already having fun.

But if you're asking for how a group of randoms could handle a difficulty higher than helldiver, I'd say 4 people with arc throwers (once they stop crashing the game) with a bunch of strategems for dealing with bile titans (railcannon, 500k, EATs, etc).

Arc thrower is just that nutty. Excellent horde clearing, and kills chargers quickly now with head shots. Only suffers vs Bile Titans which is where the strats come into play.

I'm ready for some of the equipment that they keep holding back. Auto-cannon mech, APC, roof mounted MG buggy, crossbow, grenade pistol, Illuminate. The drip feeding is pretty yawn worthy.

Are those weapons like confirmed coming to the game through announcements or leaks? Or do you just mean they were in the first game so they're probably coming?
