Lets talk about accuracy

[Fox]

This is about bots, and more specifically bots shooting explosives like rockets or cannon shells. They seem to all have perfect or near perfect accuracy even in the worst of conditions. Night? Unaffected. Rainstorm? What rain? Fog? Never heard of it. And the tooltip claiming hyper reactive protocols seems like total bull. A rocket devastator will snipe you from 100m away under all of these conditions, and a cannon tower will do it from much further, whether or not you can even see that far.

I can't offer a solution or even a direction because apparently all of these are by design. Bots are supposed to continuously spawn patrols to completely surround you in the dead of night with negative visibility and proceed to barrage you with an unlimited supply of rockets until you "lower the difficulty". Is that fun for anyone? Joel, maybe. Ha, you stupid Helldivers can't even take back Malevelon Creek!

The hyper reactive thing, they don't understand suppressing fire is actually just shooting in an enemies general direction (but still coming close to hitting)

You have to actually hit them to cause the reactive protocol thing to happen.

[capybaras are cool]

cannon towers are just insanely stupid. someone aggros one by mistake and you lose a handful of people before you even know whats going on.

Aimbots :P

if you shoot at them they become suppressed and extremely inaccurate, rocket bots included. the missles just fly all over

It wouldn't be an issue if the suppressing fire tip about their hyper reactive protocols wasn't an outright lie because Swedish devs don't understand what suppressive fire actually is.

Again, this tool tip is a lie, you have to actually hit them.

false. all you need to do is shoot near them

This is 100% cap because I've literally tried this with Stalwart/MG, and sickle when it was added, and the dudes who aren't the primary one I'm hitting are still just as accurate.

Standing literally right beside him within 5-10 meters.

thats great. you still just need to shoot near them to cause the effect. i dont know what to tell you other than you are wrong.

The only automaton unit I actually dislike playing against is the tank tower. That thing can agro you when its barely visible from half the map away and just evaporate somebody. Its really not an issue as long as people aren't clumped together like penguins huddling for warmth though

Its really not an issue though as long as youre generally aware of where outposts are (something that should be basic sense once you hit lvl 10)

[Shotgun Susan]

Bot accuracy is a bit too much, definitely needs to be toned down.

However, our own weapon's accuracy needs to be fixed...
The laser pointer on some weapons doesn't reach where the dot on the scope is and its clear you're not hitting the right spots.

Don't even get me started on the AMR's scope...

Sure man, because devs haven't ever been wrong about what suppression is before.

[asura]

You definitely have to hit them. Just shooting around them doesn't do anything.
Go try it with a rocket bot. Hit him and the rockets go in the air. Shoot around him and..... well, you won't be shooting for long.

You have to hit them. It's kind of silly.

You're confusing this game with Battlefield 4 or something.

I need to find the video again but someone literally tested it and you have to be doing damage to them for it to work.

[DANSPLAYER]

Robots are totally unbalanced, and it's no fun to finish them off, regardless of the weapon, you feel like your shots don't do any damage

they are wrong. it is exactly how it works because as soon as i see groups of those stupid little rocket guys i immediately start shooting with the DMR even if it will miss. it causes their rockets to miss.

if you agree with them you are wrong too. nothing else to say really

lol
