I guess Super Destroyers are being equipped with Deluge Machine from Stellaris. =)

Makes sense it would be Japan given the mech warbond and all.

Attention, Helldivers.

A hotfix is planned for Wednesday, May 6. This will revert the Hive Guard and fix an issue introduced in Patch 6.2.1 where armor values were incorrectly swapped between the Legs and Claws.

Updated Hive Guard stats:

Main Body

• Armor increased from 1 → 2
• Health increased from 375 → 500

Head

• Armor decreased from 4 → 3

Front Legs

• Armor increased from 2 → 3

Claws

• Armor decreased from 3 → 1

We are reviewing player feedback, including durability damage, so next week we will also address some of these questions and others which our founder has received in various forums.

So far have only used the armor, the primary, the secondary, and the support weapon, against the bugs. Oddly enough I have not used any of the exosuits in the exosuit pack

Gallant: One handed smg with medium pen and insanely high rate of fire. Practically useless. The most prominent enemy with medium pen (hive guard) got buffed to heavy armor. Also, the vertical recoil is so high on the base gun, you have to aim at the floor to hit your sprays, or aim at things right in front of you. Almost impossible to aim. Also also, it deals almost no damage. One whole default clip to take down one of the new warrior strains. Might be good with extended mag and vertical grip, but I can't say. You chew through ammo like no one's business, kill 1 enemy while missing half your shots, and then get overrun and die. Maybe skill diff, idk, but there are better guns.

Bullet Storm: S-tier strategem and probably first on the nerfing block. It's 2 disposable stalwarts with 1 mag 300 bullets each on a 90ish second cooldown. Very high rate of fire but very reasonable recoil and great accuracy. It's light pen but that doesn't matter at all because of how effective it is against everything smaller than a charger. Literally my new primary. Since you get two each drop and the cooldown is so short, it can literally supply the support weapon for a whole squad, opening slots for other things. This thing is godlike against the bugs, especially against the new strain.

Missile Pistol: Literally useless. You get 4 lock on medium pen missiles. Best you can do is kill a brood commander with one hit, maybe. No reason to bring this over the grenade pistol since the splash is non existent. You can't even crack armor plates with it. Might be better against bots if it can break the bunker turrets or take out fabricators from a distance. IMO though this should be heavy pen.

Armor perk: It's good, I suppose. I felt the extra speed occasionally with the light armor and the slide distance once or twice, but I'm not sure how much a difference it made

Looks like they fixed charging freshmob clipping. TX-41 Sterilizer got a range boost and lingers more.

BREAKING: Strange footage was recovered from one of the body-cams. What could this possibly mean?

Shields and I do not mix.

Speculation is that it will be the return of the Lumberer exosuit (AT emplacement cannon and a flamethrower)

Attaching a Lure Mine to myself. Did not know that was a thing.

Citizens of Super Earth! This is your trusted Ministry of Truth Approved Investigator Stefan Holmes with an URGENT transmission!
I have discovered a suspicious looking envelope outside of our front door. After hours of deep investigation I have barely inched closer to cracking this bizarre case.

Never in my long and prosperous 5 months at the job have I seen anything of the likes. I even asked our Janitorial Specialist (to protect his Identity I am only refering to said person as M.T) if this has ever happened before This was his response:

"No"

I urge you, citizens of Super Earth, Champions of Deduction and Yearners of Truth - Help me crack this case open.
What could all of this possibly mean?

Evidence #1 - Envelope (Filthy and Opened by me)

A seemingly normal SuperPost envelope to the untrained eye - but if you look really close you can tell that something is off.

First finding - Stains. There are numerous stains of an oil-like substance splashed across the fragile paper.
Second finding - Sand. The envelop contains dozens of grains of sand.
Third finding - Crumbs of an unidentified origin. Bland taste, very uninspired - definitely baked on Super Earth.

What awaits inside?
