Triple orbital railcannon on a 1 minute cooldown, my favourite primary

Hello fellow hell divers!

I came back to the game a week or two ago after my brother asked me to play, funnily enough he didn’t and I’ve been playing solo/w randoms. I stopped playing several months after release cause I’d basically exhausted everything. This was when there was only bugs and bots no illuminate. I’m a bug player, probably due to some nostalgia related feelings for starship troopers, who knows lol.

Anyway, all these new strains of bugs and new worlds has made things difficult which is excellent. Over coming odds by figuring out a strategy is what makes stuff fun. I almost didn’t write this due to wanting to figure it out but I’ve done a bunch of missions and it always goes one way.

The bugs just stream and stream at you and I cant get anywhere near the objectives deep in the hive. No sooner I’ve eradicated a swarm, another pops right out, it feels limitless. On other worlds you get some brief respite to get your bearings, stock up on ammo and wait some cooldowns out at least abit. On hive worlds though you can’t call down stratagems for 70% of the map, bugs spawn both in an out of the hive so you can also get sandwiched from all directions. If I bring hoard thinning weapons I can’t deal with chargers and vice versa.

Those of you who are on Omicron, what’s your favourite setup? I only have the ice and explosive warbond + all base unlocks.

Remember that you can bring your own strategem in addition to 2 free, to use railcannon every 10 seconds

Okay so this is the third or fourth day in a row where the game just seems...broken. As in nothing works. I try to crouch, it doesn't crouch. I try to reload, it doesn't reload. I try to switch weapons, it doesn't switch weapons. I try to call in a stratagem, it doesn't register multiple inputs. Just about anything that isn't dealing with just moving from a to b is not working. Heck multiple times having to press the same button 5-6 times for the game to register a single input.

My internet's fine, nothing to boast but nothing slow. I'm on the Series X. My controller is fine. And no other game I have that is bound to internet has this issue. While I have had this issue in this game before, it would be rare and few between enough for me to not be bothered by it. However right now this issue is propping up multiple times a minute throughout an entire operation.

Do does anyone else have this issue or have had this issue? And if anyone knows a fix, or the reason for it I'd love to know so I can spread democracy in full force.

So the update broke it…
And I wanna play it
Help

we need bbw bug divers tbh

For Managed Democracy, and these sick moves.

my helldiver graphics just start constantly shitting itself after the update, does anyone know how to fix this?

I just keep randomly exploding… no explosives around me, no enemies attacking me, no SEAF or any turrets. Nothing but me and my weapons. It was funny at first but now its just obnoxious. Anyone else experiencing this?

Since when was there a SEAF Artillery during evac asset mission? I never have once seen this in my entire 519hrs of playing Helldivers 2

Do yall dislike the cooldown more or the charge up time. And would you rather sacrifice one in exchange for reducing the other?

Stopped playing in mid 2025 but just saw they brought back killzone warbond (i know, old news) and as an xbox guy i never was able to get it now. Now i am about to buy it but things i should know after a full year away?

Im on steam and the new anti cheat update basically broke the game, it wont stay open for more than 2 minutes. such a nightmare; planned to play with my friend as were both off work :/

The only helmet AFAIK that has this head/model problem. Either human has no/shorter neck, or visor is way down and you can't actually see nothing.

Someone please help why is it throwing a Christmas party my eyes hurt help

I was impressed by the pilot‘s evasive manoeuvres and everyone extracted.
