So planning to get the game, got some questions

[Honor Guard]

to start with
1. I heard the Stalwart LMG was in the game ; is it any good like it was in Helldivers 1?
2. How do the stratgems feel? Do they upgrade and if so, do they get improvements like in HD1?
3. is there a Button similar to DRG where you do a battle cry?

1. stalwart kinda sucks but it's super fun on lower difficulties
2. feel incredible, can upgrade them but limited to basic stuff like faster cooldowns or more damage
3. there's an emote button where you can salute or hug other players for example, or just pose like the hero you are. don't think any have sound effects

Stalwart feels like a primary gun slapped into the support role last minute, but the feeling of holding down the trigger and mowing down waves just... SLAPS!

They should have added something like level 5 difficulty and above you can use the LMG and Stalwart as a primary.

Emote is good on the ship on occasional in-game, but something like EDF call outs would have been good, quick and easy, they already have the marker wheel.

1: Stalwart LMG is used as a stratagem call in in HD2, it's a good alternative to the standard MG-43, while it does less damage it has a similar if not bigger magazine size which is great for horde clearing, and you can reload it while on the move, something the MG-43 can't do.

2: Stratagems are the same as ever, though some may have had their key-ins changed a bit, so far there is no upgrade to individual stratagems like in HD1, instead the upgrades are tied to the ship module system, which upgrades stratagems related to the module you upgrade; for example; upgrading the gun module of the ship would upgrade all the orbital barrage specific stratagems.

3: sadly no, battlecrys are only contextual currently, such as firing guns for a long time, or killing large groups of enemies.

don't get the game for now... you can't get in to play.

1. Stalwart felt ok. I mainly use energy rifle in HD1 to avoid ammo issue. 3shot mortar to deal with tanks/heavy

2. stratgems feel better than HD1 at the moment since in HD1 I just end up calling in the armed veh and rollover anything.🤣 the upgrades are by category instead of by stratgems.

3. there's a salute and some emotion option. can't get into the game long enough to figure it out.

Wait 1-3 weeks for the normie hordes to have moved on to next thing, would be my advice.

1. It cannot break medium armor of bugs, which at high difficulty half and more of bugs, so it useless, only MG-43 if you are support in clearing of hordes.
