Orbital Napalm Barrage

[Funky Koval]

What a joke. Give us NEW stratagems with N E W effects. Not this resized incendiary grenade crap.

But WOW does it clear giant crowds of bugs on mission points or in nests, making mopping up MUCH easier.

It's also excellent as a rearguard or on top of a couple bug breaches, to burn everything away.

It's actually really good, IF you use it as the control/area denial stratagem that it is... instead of expecting it to be even more awesome than the prior stratagems.


Everything in Helldivers 2 has ROLE. The weapons and stratagems and weapons are different options, not upgrades as they're unlocked.

State a controversial opinion and argue it really well, no matter if it is right or wrong.

Here, we can see the original poster rebuking a popular/well liked new stratagem, while giving a very thoughtful criticism in how it lacks any originality or finesse, which is accurate. This way, it can invoke powerful emotion from a wide audience.

...

You have no idea what a good argument is if you think dismissing the best upcoming tool for killing hordes or pre-clearing nests/mission points is bad.

The OP is expecting it to be an even better 380, NOT the fire spreading area denial/crowd control tool.

Its actually pretty good.

Shhhh don't say that! Or it'll get nerfed!

Yeah it sucks! Boo!

BROKEN things get nerfed.

Balanced things get kept.

That's why the Autocannon hasn't been nerfed, and won't be nerfed: because it's NOT the perfect weapon that's the be all end all of everything. It's another option among differing options.

Not gonna reinstall just to see how bad it is, however.

It's actually really good, but for area denial and crowd control/clearing mission points you're about to walk into.

This community is a masterpiece of constant whining. Everything's apparently broken, unplayable or not good enough. Meanwhile, I'm over here thinking this stratagem is actually pretty solid!

Tested it first time yesterday... and I liked it.

Yeah, it doesnt close bug holes. So? Anyone every tried to close bugholes with orbital barrages? Really?

Napalm barrage is pretty great to burn large ammounts of bugs over a large area and time, for example on a large nest. Just throw it in there, grill 50 bugs, walk down there and put a nade in every hole.

Just make sure to stand back. Faaar back.

It's just jester farmers. I wouldn't get them mixed in with the serious people.

A lot of people feel fun things get nerfed though just saying.

For anyone that hasn't used it yet, the Truth is the complete opposite. Might be one of the best stratagems to bring against the bugs ever. Pop that ♥♥♥♥ on a bughole and you'll almost always get a 90 kill combo.

It doesnt matter if it is strong. It matters if it is original. 90% of AH's "new" content is some kind of reskin or restat.

Like these clowns reskinned the flamethrower and pretended they were 2 new weapons, now they placed incendiary grenade effect to barrage and pretend its new

Cry harder. Really, You can say that about any game ever. All weapons are a variation of something, Napalm is a flame thrower in bomb form, a flame thrower is a beefed up version of a lighter and a spray can. Seriously, grow up and just stop.

[Xhyle]

looking forward for barrage gas strike or gas airstrike

[Roy]

It's insanely strong, you just chuck it at a bug breach or heavy nest and it will wipe ALL enemies so you can just waltz in and close the holes.

[thedrifta1]

we are now complaining about everything and anything. Right

[Shadowbrodie]

Honestly if you can't even be happy about napalm barrage, then I feel like nothing will make you happy.

People like OP are out roaming free in the streets. This is why driving isn't safer.
