We need to all "get good"

Hellpod optimisation and reinforcement boosters tend to be the duo that appears in my super helldive matches. Not even the reinforcement cooldown booster because everyone keeps dropping like the US economy. The slightly funny part is the use of multiple equipment strategems as if people are self-aware of how sorry they are.

There has always been a winning formula for helldivers... simply avoid a horde and be extremely overkill when you strike areas of interest so reinforcements do not have a chance of spawning. If that does not work you can run away and come back after the horde has left the area. I'm seeing too many martyrs going for a last stand like it means anything and drawing the entire enemy army to evac.

Thankfully the stealth archer build in any game will make up of the lack of skills 10/10 times. But I would like to have the room to try something new.

Going out in a last stand is like 80% male fantasy when playing the game and I'm one of those people who has that fantasy. So maybe I'm biased. But I wanna have fun and not optimize every single thing I do in a video game.

That's ok just not every single second and right at the start of the mission.

I barely see reinforcement boosters.

And every game I host people act like it is a requirement. Experiences are gonna be different between people. personally I feel like either i'm very unlucky. But if more people get good then theoretically my chances get better.

No shame. The new illuminate strafing runs brutal. I learned to counter it but there is an element of luck that you are not close when it starts it's run or you die instantly.

Reinforce booster? Lol

Breaches, Bot drops etc are the best part of the game. Its showtime!

Worst thing ever is when I see a breach and I'm not there for it! That is very undemocratic!
