PS5 Players have an easier game than PC players.
According to recent discoveries through extensive testing, Bile Titans die in 2-3 hits from Railgun (applies to other support weapons too, you need way less damage to kill them) with occasional one-shots from time to time IF the HOST is playing on PS5. Meanwhile on PC it takes anywhere between 8-10 shots with the UNSAFE mode Railgun, which takes much more effort and time. This makes level 9 difficulty a joke, since the main issue is the amount of Bile Titans chasing you at all times. You can test this yourself, or watch some streams/videos that have discovered this bug OR feature? Anyways, would like to hear an official word from a developer regarding this topic


UPDATE: If it's not the case for you and you play in easy mode the entire time I'm happy for you (How you didn't get bored is amusing though), but it's not the case for many people.

UPDATE 2, AFTER THE PATCH: Even after the Railgun changes Bile Titans go down in 1-3 shots if the host is PS5 player, here's the clip

Here's the link to the guy who did the research and found out the issue, props to him: https://www.twitch.tv/maplewood_tv
Also here's the link to the VOD of 4+ hours of testing where you can see the difference between PC and PS5 versions: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2080825932

Nah you just joined a random lobby with the PS5 host, and don't even start it on some magical jaw/cheek/whatever hitbox, it doesn't matter, you either hit the head or you don't. Cope harder

Excuse you? I've one shoted two bile Titans in the same match playing only with people on PC.

What are your sources for those "info recently discovered"? Oh, you don't really have them? I thought so.

There is nothing for them to comment on.

This entire thread is utter nonsense.

I 2-3 shot more bile titans than I can count. There's 2 types of titans that spawn, regular and elite. The elite ones take far more shots to die. The regular ones just vanish in 2-3 well placed shots.

Use the Google or any other search engine and find the information yourself? I'm not going to link videos/channels, specially without their consent. It literally took me 3 seconds to open Twitch Helldivers 2 category and in top 10 streams there's a guy with the title mentioning this exact issue. Next time think twice before doing any research and posting nonsense

because PS5 players cry if they lost, the devs are trying to save us from some headaches

Thats not true . Iam on PC and i 1-3 tap them while playing as duo on dif 9 with PC friend.
Forblaze Mar 4, 2024 @ 5:07am 
I've definitely one shot a bile titan on a game that I've hosted myself.

I just tested this in a solo difficulty 5 'kill two bile titans' mission and wasn't able to reproduce it. Starting to doubt myself.

So the idea is to copy all the messages without any constructive information? None of what you guys said disproves this topic, If you all play in easy mode the entire time I'm happy for you (How you didn't get bored is amusing though), but it's not the case for many, many people. That's why the point still stands, and basically you just look like malding PS5 players.

One shot with what and in which circumstances? In before the Titan got damaged by Charger/Other Titan, or you just used 500KG bomb. Still, doesn't disprove anything, none of the people I know on PC are able to 2-3 shot Titan ALL the time.

And you sure sound like someone who like to hear his own voice. But am I talking about this?

Also, just plainly pointed out I'm a PC user in my first post. You really should try to bait better.
