I have a feeling the next war bond in June plus the patch being pushed to the second week of june means we are getting a big update.Damn, logged in and got thrown to Super Earth and I like "wtf?" lol. And saw the rest...
However I hope they put a lot of balance and bug fixing in because right now the game is not as fun as it used to be.
Also going against The Illuminate with the current spawn rate, and weapon balance would just result in a bigger outcry from the community then the Bots.

Playing in middle with friends. Lots of deaths, but hopefully we will get better.

Finally getting some decent cosmetics. Also, the level design in that trailer is fire!HD2 is supposed to be at SGF. So good chance the new enemy faction drops later this week. The game desperately needs some big content updates

Yeah, I like it when they stealth drop content. It's more organic. The black hole from a few days ago has to be something significant though

Best Warbond until now.
Nice to see you can choose the character skin color, and that they are now also including skins for the Pelican, Hellpod and mechs.

If your the run and gun, up close and personal type player, then this bond seems to fit that bill.

The discord mods for helldivers are at it again.
They never learn, I mean why would you respond to furry art with anything other them vomiting? Naturally now the Furry community are infesting the Helldivers "fanart" channel.
At least the new major order is funny, finally unlock AT mines or save a children's hospital, the hospital is winning.

Alright, dudes and dudettes, finally got the game (PS5). Whose in charge of coordinating the PS5 GAF group and who do I have to add? Would be great to smash out some matches with a few GAFfers from time to time.

AH ex-CEO tweet about the incoming patch "...maybe some old/new threats". Illuminist ? Or returning enemies from HD1 ?
Impalers ? Cyborg dogs ? Hivelords ? Siege tank ?
I would be very curious to see the Impalers with the new gameplay. "Tentacles spawning ! Find the Impaler quick !"

I agree with that. The patch just dropped. Let's see if some new enemies are there
Spear is finally fixed !... But it introduced a bug making it impossible to aim Fabricator... At least they acknowledge it and are working on it. Let's hope it doesn't take 4 months...

Honestly all the changes look positive, I'm really excited to see about the changes to make rifles punch harder, the thing to keep in mind is this time they haven't done anything to nerf the existing weapons so they can say they now "comparatively" punch harder. They now just deal with shit better and my SMG's can still do what they do.
Currently at work, but looking forward to this and new warbond.

It's passable, AA is fixed which helps. Only rears it's ugly head with lots of particles looking a bit blocky, especially after playing the PC version with DLSS. Also, it will be all dependent on how good your TV scaler is as well with the even integer from 1080p to 4K.
Hoping they are working on a reconstruction technique in the future instead of just straight up 1080p. Or, PS5 Pro version, maybe.

good to know on the AA. i'm using an LG C2. just figured they would have bumped resolution or something at this point as it's been out for a good while. was pretty shocked at how blurry/pixely it was close to launch.

I've not noticed any changes since the update. Maybe it's because I'm so damn good with my loadout, but nothing is easier. Had 5 bile titans at one point, chasing my ass. Fortunately, the grenade launcher and incendiary shotgun took good care of them.

I'm liking the patch so far. The shift to being swarmed by light and medium enemies instead of throwing multiple heavies at you is a welcome change. Arguably made bugs easier since the problem with bugs has always been swarmed by heavies. A single spear user can take care of all titans. And speaking of the spear, the fix finally made it the weapon it's meant to be and it's so satisfying to use now. I still won't main it but it's very reassuring whenever I see someone in the squad has one. Weird that I haven't seen spewers in a while though. Bots are simultaneously harder and easier. Bot heavies always felt easier to deal with than bug heavies but getting swarmed by berserkers and devastators is not fun. Thankfully the newly buffed HMG really shines now. I would never have thought this was the weapon that I'd finally replace the autocannon with but here we are.
Also friendship ended with eagle one. Now orbital strikes are my best friend. Can't believe they actually buffed precision strike lol. Orbital precision strike has always been a mainstay in my loadout but now it's joined by the buffed orbital gatling barrage.
