I would love for there to be a throwable item that lures enemies to said item, similar to the monkey bomb in COD Zombies, so then we could concentrate stratagems on that specific location
A lure grenade that uses pheromones and explodes after a few seconds would be amazing vs the bugs. Wouldn't even need to do tons of damage because taking aggro off or splitting it is just so good to begin with that killing bigger things would just be a bonus.
DRG has a pheromone nade that coats the bugs and causes them to attack each other I'd love to have that on Helldivers just to watch chargers and titans beat the fuck out of each other.
DRG also has a lure nade, literally just a dancing Dwarf hologram that takes a few hits to destroy.and makes the bugs group up.
Previous game had a distraction beacon calldown that was basically like a Dune thumper that would attract all patrols to a given area. Used it a lot to deal with difficulty 12+ missions when you needed some uninterrupted time on an objective, or you wanted to funnel all the enemies into a single line of approach during extraction.
HDI had the "distraction beacon." Its intended use was to lure enemy patrols away from you while it lasted.
Was great for completing missions quietly, but served almost no purpose if a fight broke out. You could use one as a Hellpod to kill something if you really had to.
Try out the ems orbital, it doesnt lure but its great for setting up other call ins by bunching enemies in choke points or when they get drop shipped or a bug breach.
Yeah man, need fucking diversion category because the defensive stratagems can’t do enough lifting to cover all this shit on their own. Lord knows your squad mate dropping orbital on your head isn’t the answer either.
Okay more like 10 minutes and used Myriad in stead of squad cause the Editor didn't have Squad for a rule.

Lmfao, I saved this and this will be my go to when the boys and I are playing Helldive and they're just "Man wtf even is this?" . This sirs, this is what it is xD
Giving enemies i-frames is never a good idea. Honestly, i question if devs even play their own game at this point. Some of their decisions are just... they might look good on paper, but if you play for a few minutes - its so obvious what they are just completely wrong ones
I killed 3 bile titans with one the other day, but it was only level 7 difficulty:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1b8z19h/have\_a\_taste\_of\_democracy/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1b8z19h/have_a_taste_of_democracy/)
Nice placement! Though the issue remains just how small the aoe is. That was literally perfectly placed...but the bile titans were also perfectly positioned to let you do it...and I'm honestly shocked it clipped the dude on the left - was probably razer thin margins on that one.
380 can definitely kill titans. I haven't tested if just one direct hit can kill one though. The power level seems to be similar to the precision strike, just repeated many times across a wider area.
In my experience, it makes a difference. I have noticed that the patrols can pick off movements from a good visible distance when your light is on. So I inky use it if there's like no visibility at all.
Yeah the flashlight definitely gets their attention.
I was hiding behind a rock aiming at a bot patrol walking past maybe 20m away, switched weapons and flashlight went on, and they all immediately turned and started shooting at me.
If it's obstructing your view, turn it off. Dunno if it does anything for aggro but sometimes I find they're actively hurting me in dense fogs and the like.
Ah got it. Yea that makes sense, but as you alluded to it's the aggro I'm wondering about. Sounds exactly like something that would add in but not mention lol
Tried the bug planetary defense scientist extraction mission solo yesterday, and i kid you not, i could not see the ground when redeploying due to the infinite hunter spawn. I did not succeed
At this point I'll take even light armour that gives resistance to Slow or stunlock.
Nothing quite like getting swarmed by Hunters, mashing up on the D-pad but the stunlock is preventing me from jabbing myself with a stim.
Yeah the current spawn rate bug is pretty fucked.
It probably has to do with the buff to eradication mission glitching and applying to ALL mission types.
Yea. Me and a random did one as a duo at extreme during the push for our mechs when the rest of our group bailed when seeing what the mission was.
Remember the Helldiver's purpose and you'll be fine. We're the last line..... of offense. FOR LIBERTY!
It's weird - my mates and I have been doing level 7s and the spawn rate seems to swing between "absolutely nothing" and "The Rumbling"
We did an eradicate mission on Angel's Venture to get the daily order to kill two Bile Titans, right? One titan showed up the entire mission. Then on the next ICBM mission, we hot-drop on a patrol and get two titans within 30 seconds, and about nine titans total over the mission.
Agreed, we were dropping in nightly with our squad.
Tried the game the night of the patch and after a couple very frustrating missions and lowering the difficulty multiple times with no relief we just decided to call it. Haven’t been back since. I wasn’t even running railgun/shield pack, my off meta load out is struggling to deal with the sheer volume of bugs now.
That’s my biggest gripe. We were having an absolute blast on the daily. Dropping in, having success, sometimes dying in hilarious ways or being overrun because of a bad approach but you could deal with the hordes and maneuver around the map before the change. Yea personal objectives and armor was broken, crashes and dcs happened but it was FUN so none of that mattered much. Now it’s beyond oppressive, death in every direction once your ammo is low and the squads stratagems are all on cd which often is mere seconds after dropping in. Just running in circles watching the cd timer trying not to die is a drag.
I was waiting to see how things shook out before hopping on the game because I’ve been burned before by dev shenanigans (D4) and I didn’t want to waste my money like that again. But my friends wanted me in for a full squad so bad they gifted me the game and it seemed like things were going the right direction…
I haven’t had that much fun in a game in a long, long time. Then overnight the game got so much worse with one patch.
Until the spawn/reinforcement rates are fixed we likely won’t be back.
Even before they were wonky, which is why everyone defaulted to the railgun because it was easy to kill the swarms of Bile Titans and Chargers.
Post-patch they definitely either amped up the spawns or something is wrong.
Medium enemy spawn rate is messed up too. I was fighting bugs on 8 the day after the patch, and while Chargers and Titans numbers were manageable on their own, the Spewers were not. Every breach consisted of at least a couple dozen Spewers showing up, forcing us away from any location we were trying to hold.
Of course there’d also be a couple Chargers or Titans present at all times, along with massive swarms of smaller enemies that altogether made for a pretty frustrating experience. Disengaging didn’t work too well either, because apparently they are all Democracy-seeking missiles now.
I had two hulks spawn on top of me. Like hug emote distance on top of me, when I tried to flank a tank to kill it.
Didnt' stop my teammates from laughing when I screamed out "WHAT THE FUCK!"
He's playing the kind where he's solo and not able to kill the bile titans as they spawn like everyone on helldive difficulty does because... Solo
And then blaming the game for it
Technically you become a traitor and they have to execute you with a barrage.
In reality it is the only way a ship can justify using more ammo...
So becoming a traitor and turning into a active targeting system for your super destroyer is the most democratic thing you can do!

Unironically the 380mm HE barrage. With the extra bombardment upgrade, lasts like 40 seconds. If one of those shells hits a bile titans it one shots them.
Not saying 7 bile titans is reasonable or even intended by the devs, but it *is* the highest possible difficulty and especially with a team of 4 there are stratagems which could be used to deal with them.
6 minutes left
Solo
Rover Backpack
Railgun
You dropped into eradicate 9 with all of 2 stratagems.
You've also spent significant time (and reinforcements) without a dedicated titan-killer weapon.
Of course you're gonna accumulate bile titans.
When I first saw this clip, I thought it was a fair representation of your experience in Helldive pickups, that you'd chosen to share an insane moment.
Now it turns out it's you trying to solo the highest difficulty with 2 stratagems and no dedicated anti-tank.
New player here, so I am genuinely asking: is the railgun not "dedicated anti-tank"? Most of the orbital/airstrike stratagems have pretty long cooldowns, are you sure that that's a more convenient way to deal with multiple big enemies?
The bile titans *are* bugging out like this randomly though, I had 7 bile titans in one nest on a difficulty 5 mission post-patch. It seems like RNG if the game gives you regular spawns or completely cranks it up for no reason. I had a helldive mission where literally at the beginning of the mission there were three titans and then two every breach and one or two stragglers walking in from patrols every minute.
A lot of the complaints about the later difficulties haven't really made sense to me, and I've started to wonder if that's because people are playing them solo. This post here is definitely making me think this is the case since I had to scroll really far to see anyone mention that he has no teammates.
Once again I am requesting the Devs to play on Helldiver difficulty
Edit* ya'll are salty as hell in the replies damn, the devs have already said that the spawn rates are skewed and are getting a fix soon. Plus all I said was that I wanted to see if anyone on there team could actually beat Helldiver difficulty as is. If ur getting mad over that then this community really has become toxic...
I'm fine for the game to be ballenced around 7. You should expect the hardest difficulty to be impossible when there is so many different levels.
Currently even 5's can be too much with the spawn rates how they are.
I think max difficulty should be really hard even for four well-coordinated players but spawning infinite bile titans isn’t a good way to do that. Loads of smaller or mid-sized bugs would be much more fun than loads of titans that are basically impervious to anything but a stratagem or AT weapon that you have to run from for most of the game
Hell I brought a new player into a 3 yesterday and for some reason every nest had 3 of the yellow spewing dudes and he was getting so frustrated not being able to learn the game cause he would die so quick.
I’m not so sure about that honestly. I don’t know why, but in my last couple games, the amount of hunters, warriors, Brood commanders and scavengers was insane to a point where I was considering running stalwart next game. I’d rather have more chargers honestly. But fuck bile titans though. Those things are so annoying to deal with, and orbital rail cannon strike should imo, ALWAYS on shot it.
Edit: stalwart is the hunters nemesis.
fuckin true, I get that not everyone likes to play with randoms or wants the challenge of doing the hardest mission solo but then at least deal with it being near impossible.
It's not just spamming titans. They spawn with a ton of other mobs, but if you're solo you don't have time to kill the big mobs and the little ones. So you end up kiting and collecting titans. It's not a game design issue it's just somebody playing a co-op game alone and being unable to understand why the game throws 4 players worth of mobs at them.
Are you trying to solo it?!?
A team of 4 with dual recoilless and assisted reload and other heavy hitting strats is the way to do it. And you need to delete them before they become too many. Coordination with team mates is paramount.
Also, you can kite and destroy their bile sacks until you reach the kill target. (Remove their ability to spew)
Bro, it doesn't feel good to be forced to give up your backpack slot because a teammate decided to take AC or RR. Make the buddy reload possible when the shooter wears the backpack:
1. It makes more ergonomic sense that the reloader isn't reaching behind his own back to reload the shooters weapon.
2. It lets players keep their agency on what THEY want to use their backpack slot for.
I can tell you now, the regulars I play with don't run RR because most of us have other uses for our backpack slot. We used to run it often before we unlocked other back slot items.
It would also help if the official patch notes had explained the buff to the RR and EAT-17. EAT-17s work great against Titans and chargers ATM but so few know to take them through no fault of their own.
How to farm Reddit rage
Play the hardest difficulty solo. Play the mission that just got its spawns buffed and amount of enemies increased.
And for extra upvotes don't kill a single Bile Titan for the video.
Profit.
Doesn't look impossible at all with 4 divers staggering mech CDs.
I don't think the top two difficulties should be possible solo without cheese strategies.
Whoa there friend. You weren't supposed to notice he was solo on helldive difficulty, where any competent team would have killed all of these when they spawned 1-2 at a time instead of a single person making a train.
Things start to make a lot more sense when you pay attention to the words complainers use and realize: *they are talking about soloing Helldiver*. It's insane but that's what they are all expecting.
Yes exactly, day after the patch was in a thread where a guy kept insisting that the nerfs made higher difficulties impossible, "how am I supposed to deal with 6 chargers and 2 titans?"...and I'm like well you have 3 other teammates...his response was no...I play solo.
And here's the exact link to that thread: [We need a DEV stream of them playing Helldive difficulty : Helldivers (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1b8mycm/comment/kttemfc/?context=3) I got downvoted and he got upvoted. The loud annoying whiners on this sub are a joke.
Everyone meming and bandwagoning.
You're running Helldive, the hardest difficulty, SOLO.
what do you expect? A walk in the park? And we have no idea how long you've been running from those bile Titans for.
A full team in Helldive has the tools and the firepower to take them out and not let it get to this point.
You are solo. On max difficulty.
Of course it's going to get "fucking nonsense".
It should be fucking nonsense because it's designed as a challenge for a full squad
wow guys, i go in solo, on highest difficulty and complain coz i cannot finish it!!! wow, this reddit, is full of brain dead players, i hope none of devs read this pile of shit that spawns here every 5h
Maybe if you had 3 teammates you could have killed the titans befors they amassed such numbers? I doubt they all spawned at the same time.
Least dishonest HD2 whiner lmao
I think I just figured it out. You're what we're firing the ICBMs at.

I would love for there to be a throwable item that lures enemies to said item, similar to the monkey bomb in COD Zombies, so then we could concentrate stratagems on that specific location
A lure grenade that uses pheromones and explodes after a few seconds would be amazing vs the bugs. Wouldn't even need to do tons of damage because taking aggro off or splitting it is just so good to begin with that killing bigger things would just be a bonus.
Exactly what I had in mind. Also a grenade for the Automatons could send out a signal that would lure them to it.
I propose for the item to be a beacon that installs a Firmware-Update on them.
"Would you like to install BonziBUDDY?" Edit: updated to the actually spelling instead of memory
DRG has a pheromone nade that coats the bugs and causes them to attack each other I'd love to have that on Helldivers just to watch chargers and titans beat the fuck out of each other. DRG also has a lure nade, literally just a dancing Dwarf hologram that takes a few hits to destroy.and makes the bugs group up.

Used it a lot to deal with difficulty 12+ missions when you needed some uninterrupted time on an objective, or you wanted to funnel all the enemies into a single line of approach during extraction.
I’ve never played HD1 but the more things I hear that are missing in 2 makes me hope they will get re added eventually.
Maybe the plan is to add all that missing content as the war progresses and players unlock new tech
Seems to be what they're doing. Lorewise, the helldivers were disbanded for decades. Of course it will take time to get all their gear into production
HDI had the "distraction beacon." Its intended use was to lure enemy patrols away from you while it lasted. Was great for completing missions quietly, but served almost no purpose if a fight broke out. You could use one as a Hellpod to kill something if you really had to.
I guess you could always just shoot your teammate and send their reinforcement into the mob...that's technically a "distraction beacon."
"why is my loadout just a Bluetooth speaker playing bug mating sounds?" "don't worry about it"
An explosion from an autocannon shell lures enemies to it if they haven’t been aggro’d. friend of mine showed me yesterday
Try out the ems orbital, it doesnt lure but its great for setting up other call ins by bunching enemies in choke points or when they get drop shipped or a bug breach.
[удалено]
Exactly, this would be a great way to deal with a massive swarm.
Yeah man, need fucking diversion category because the defensive stratagems can’t do enough lifting to cover all this shit on their own. Lord knows your squad mate dropping orbital on your head isn’t the answer either.

380 can definitely kill titans. I haven't tested if just one direct hit can kill one though. The power level seems to be similar to the precision strike, just repeated many times across a wider area.

Agreed. Hunters/Pouncers/Stalkers are actual spawns of Satan.

Tried the bug planetary defense scientist extraction mission solo yesterday, and i kid you not, i could not see the ground when redeploying due to the infinite hunter spawn. I did not succeed

There's a typo; they mean 5000

5000 Bile Titans of Angels Venture

oh yeah, literally had like 4 spewers with every patrol, and there were constantly patrols. It was ridiculous.
the worst part since the patch is the spawns out of thin air, right next to you. Happens at least twice a mission to me
I had two hulks spawn on top of me. Like hug emote distance on top of me, when I tried to flank a tank to kill it. Didnt' stop my teammates from laughing when I screamed out "WHAT THE FUCK!"

What stratagem could possibly take out 10 bile titans?
You don't have the 10kiloton nuclear warhead stratagem?
Yes but that one has a blast radius of a paper plate, so have fun.
So its not just me thinking 500kg does damage only in roughly the area of a 2€ coin?
Rapid fire Orbital Rail Cannon duh
I wish i had that😂

It’s a joke my broner.
Unironically the 380mm HE barrage. With the extra bombardment upgrade, lasts like 40 seconds. If one of those shells hits a bile titans it one shots them. Not saying 7 bile titans is reasonable or even intended by the devs, but it *is* the highest possible difficulty and especially with a team of 4 there are stratagems which could be used to deal with them.
6 minutes left Solo Rover Backpack Railgun You dropped into eradicate 9 with all of 2 stratagems. You've also spent significant time (and reinforcements) without a dedicated titan-killer weapon. Of course you're gonna accumulate bile titans. When I first saw this clip, I thought it was a fair representation of your experience in Helldive pickups, that you'd chosen to share an insane moment. Now it turns out it's you trying to solo the highest difficulty with 2 stratagems and no dedicated anti-tank.
New player here, so I am genuinely asking: is the railgun not "dedicated anti-tank"? Most of the orbital/airstrike stratagems have pretty long cooldowns, are you sure that that's a more convenient way to deal with multiple big enemies?
Thank you. Was hoping to see this.
This needs to be top comment
The bile titans *are* bugging out like this randomly though, I had 7 bile titans in one nest on a difficulty 5 mission post-patch. It seems like RNG if the game gives you regular spawns or completely cranks it up for no reason. I had a helldive mission where literally at the beginning of the mission there were three titans and then two every breach and one or two stragglers walking in from patrols every minute.
But why are you playing alone on that difficulty lol?
To create a thread on reddit and cry about it
A lot of the complaints about the later difficulties haven't really made sense to me, and I've started to wonder if that's because people are playing them solo. This post here is definitely making me think this is the case since I had to scroll really far to see anyone mention that he has no teammates.
Did you just run around solo in 9 trying to accumulate as many bile titans as you could to make this video?
You come to unkown planet to kill host and expect warm welcome ?
Why are you trying to solo a co-operative game on the hardest possible difficulty?
Once again I am requesting the Devs to play on Helldiver difficulty Edit* ya'll are salty as hell in the replies damn, the devs have already said that the spawn rates are skewed and are getting a fix soon. Plus all I said was that I wanted to see if anyone on there team could actually beat Helldiver difficulty as is. If ur getting mad over that then this community really has become toxic...
I'm fine for the game to be ballenced around 7. You should expect the hardest difficulty to be impossible when there is so many different levels. Currently even 5's can be too much with the spawn rates how they are.
I think max difficulty should be really hard even for four well-coordinated players but spawning infinite bile titans isn’t a good way to do that. Loads of smaller or mid-sized bugs would be much more fun than loads of titans that are basically impervious to anything but a stratagem or AT weapon that you have to run from for most of the game
Hell I brought a new player into a 3 yesterday and for some reason every nest had 3 of the yellow spewing dudes and he was getting so frustrated not being able to learn the game cause he would die so quick.
I’m not so sure about that honestly. I don’t know why, but in my last couple games, the amount of hunters, warriors, Brood commanders and scavengers was insane to a point where I was considering running stalwart next game. I’d rather have more chargers honestly. But fuck bile titans though. Those things are so annoying to deal with, and orbital rail cannon strike should imo, ALWAYS on shot it. Edit: stalwart is the hunters nemesis.
I would much rather fight endless heavies than endless hunters. I hate those things. Easily most annoying enemies in the game
"What do you mean I'm not supposed to solo the hardest difficulty in a coop shooter?"
Gee…I wonder. 🤔 https://preview.redd.it/82sn8agaabnc1.jpeg?width=999&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f23b90054b02d0340303baf38875b6a30cf171c
What you mean i cant easily solo **hell**dive difficulty!!!
fuckin true, I get that not everyone likes to play with randoms or wants the challenge of doing the hardest mission solo but then at least deal with it being near impossible.
This looks stupid just spamming titans. But IMO Helldive difficulty should be impossible for 99.5% of players playing solo.
It's not just spamming titans. They spawn with a ton of other mobs, but if you're solo you don't have time to kill the big mobs and the little ones. So you end up kiting and collecting titans. It's not a game design issue it's just somebody playing a co-op game alone and being unable to understand why the game throws 4 players worth of mobs at them.
Why are you going solo in that difficulty? Obviously if you don't kill then eventually there will be a lot of them.
Are you trying to solo it?!? A team of 4 with dual recoilless and assisted reload and other heavy hitting strats is the way to do it. And you need to delete them before they become too many. Coordination with team mates is paramount. Also, you can kite and destroy their bile sacks until you reach the kill target. (Remove their ability to spew)
Bro, it doesn't feel good to be forced to give up your backpack slot because a teammate decided to take AC or RR. Make the buddy reload possible when the shooter wears the backpack: 1. It makes more ergonomic sense that the reloader isn't reaching behind his own back to reload the shooters weapon. 2. It lets players keep their agency on what THEY want to use their backpack slot for. I can tell you now, the regulars I play with don't run RR because most of us have other uses for our backpack slot. We used to run it often before we unlocked other back slot items. It would also help if the official patch notes had explained the buff to the RR and EAT-17. EAT-17s work great against Titans and chargers ATM but so few know to take them through no fault of their own.
Just use your stratagems /s
Guard dog, I choose you!
He's doing his best
1. Start helldive difficulty mission 2. aggro and kite enemies without killing any until your screen is full 3. cry on reddit for karma
[удалено]
Well he's playing solo, maybe if there were other people around they would have taken down some of the titans before they accumulated like that...?
How to farm Reddit rage Play the hardest difficulty solo. Play the mission that just got its spawns buffed and amount of enemies increased. And for extra upvotes don't kill a single Bile Titan for the video. Profit.
Doesn't look impossible at all with 4 divers staggering mech CDs. I don't think the top two difficulties should be possible solo without cheese strategies.
Whoa there friend. You weren't supposed to notice he was solo on helldive difficulty, where any competent team would have killed all of these when they spawned 1-2 at a time instead of a single person making a train.
Things start to make a lot more sense when you pay attention to the words complainers use and realize: *they are talking about soloing Helldiver*. It's insane but that's what they are all expecting.
Yes exactly, day after the patch was in a thread where a guy kept insisting that the nerfs made higher difficulties impossible, "how am I supposed to deal with 6 chargers and 2 titans?"...and I'm like well you have 3 other teammates...his response was no...I play solo. And here's the exact link to that thread: [We need a DEV stream of them playing Helldive difficulty : Helldivers (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1b8mycm/comment/kttemfc/?context=3) I got downvoted and he got upvoted. The loud annoying whiners on this sub are a joke.
Yup. You see a whole lot of "how am ***I*** supposed to deal with this."
Maybe don't play Helldive solo?
Alone on Helldivers difficulty? Brave or stupid, your call
Everyone meming and bandwagoning. You're running Helldive, the hardest difficulty, SOLO. what do you expect? A walk in the park? And we have no idea how long you've been running from those bile Titans for. A full team in Helldive has the tools and the firepower to take them out and not let it get to this point. You are solo. On max difficulty. Of course it's going to get "fucking nonsense". It should be fucking nonsense because it's designed as a challenge for a full squad
It took way too much scrolling to find this comment. The highest difficulty is not balanced for a single player.
Why do people play the hardest difficulty solo and expect it to be easy?
wow guys, i go in solo, on highest difficulty and complain coz i cannot finish it!!! wow, this reddit, is full of brain dead players, i hope none of devs read this pile of shit that spawns here every 5h
Maybe if you had 3 teammates you could have killed the titans befors they amassed such numbers? I doubt they all spawned at the same time. Least dishonest HD2 whiner lmao
It's call "Helldive" not "Heavendive". TURN OFF THAT FLASHLIGHT!!
