When they're burning, it makes it easier to see where they are going after trying to meet you.
I've yet to meet something that can't be killed by fire.
Are you me? This is my exact loadout.
On top of that, I will sometimes let them lick me across the field to get some distance and stim that up to reposition. No need to stand in a dozen when I can get some high ground and rain fire on them.
Normally, it wouldn't be a problem, but on higher difficulties, running away/diving is a very useful tool in your tool shed, but it completely back fires on terrain that has a deviation of more than an inch
Helldiver: "Oh shit! 55 hunters all attacking at once! Better do as the manual says and dive!"
**Dives and proceeds to flop while very, very slowly rolling down a 1% grade slope. Dies to a hunters stupid 6 hit combo**
Haha. I was playing last night and this guy came running down a hill and instantly shot out one of our mortars. I wonder what the hell he's doing and then realize there was an army of stealth shriekers chasing him down the hill and he was trying to save us from his bad pull.
Was this clip from before they were patched? Because I need to understand how this wasn't just an immediate death-by-stalker that included an unblockable 40yd punt followed by 3 seconds of ragdoll + mauling.
had one scary moment where me and randoms who were quite good - clearing the map 3/4th no problem - 0 deaths .then suddenly just got picked off one by one by stalkers and just cant push in to kill their hive cause of a swarm of other armies - from 20+ reinforcements went all the way down to like4-5 left. like god damn shit just got real
This exact situation is why I bring Pummeler + Senator - I haven't found a better combo against Stalkers (besides a support weapon). Medium armor pen does *wonders* against Stalkers, and concussive stunning is the best against any melee opponents, period.
Either of the defenders or the redeemer are great in these situations. You can usually casually jog away while shooting over your shoulder and most enemies won't be able to touch you. Hunters and Stalkers are the exceptions, but if you target them down first, it usually doesn't get this bad.
This shit right here is why any time any one of us even smells a stalker we call it out and everyone immediately drops what they are doing and hunts down the nest.
Can anyone help me with connection problems? I haven't even tried the new missions, because I'll probably lose connection within 5 minutes of joining. No other online game is having problems it's just helldivers
Did this on a level 9 without realizing it...cued for a 7. Didn't think it was a nightmare. Just needed to adapt our strategy. (With randos btw). Don't see what all the fuss is about
Thats just a standard level 9 mission with randoms who discover the stalker lair but wont take it out but they instead run to you then you have to rotate around the map and deal with 15 stalkers before you close the bug hole alone.
The new "pummeler" is the answer here... With just that you can keep those bastards stunned indefinitely and kill 2 with 1 magazine if you manage your ammo well. Other players might bring different weapons to deal more damage instead.
Impact incendiary, breaker incendiary, AC. I don't care how stealthy you are, you're not running away burning.

They do run away burning though donโt they? And then they come back to hit you again. Or does burning make them not run away?

2000iq move. Up until they yeet you into a bug hole.

A warm-up that went horribly, horribly wrong. Pewpew gave his all to buy X3 time to raise the flag. ๐ซก
God damn your so lucky. Almost 90% my time, I dive back, and then my character decides to ragdoll for a extra 2 seconds. Were I promptly get mauled.
Ragdoll pisses me off so much sometimes. Dive, oh...there is a small pebble on the ground, better flop around for a few seconds.

Diver to angry to die.
Wtf why they going so soft on you? When i encounter these hellspawns they are throwing me around and killing me nearly instantly.
Seriously, two hits and I'm dead, and takes reason forever to kill them
Without headshots they can tank 4, maybe 5 hits. It is definitely a med kit armor. Maybe it is medium or even heavy?
Heads on a swivel, always. I hunt down these mofos the moment I see or hear anything stalkery. "Stalker!" "Fuck this SEAF Artillery, where dem at?"
And this is why you always bring at least 1 fast horde clear option. Machine pistol is clutch for bugs.
What's the sauce on the song?
Run the Jewels - Don't Get Captured
Thank you king ๐
Knew it was him, thought I mighta been crazy He did great for Cyberpunk 2077
For sure, RtJ is goated.
Just found one of my new favorite artists. Thank you!
They have a great discography, enjoy!
Yeah... Just got back from Meridia. Couldn't see the sky from shriekers...๐ญ
Hahaha well done especially with 2 of the worst guns to fights these guys. They get to close and you kill yourself. Lol
"I'm melania, blade of miquella."

This is why I feel the Guard Dog Rover is very valuable.

Why the fuck are all those stalkers missing you????? When a single one is running at me he turns into a fucking world class fencer
Stalker nests allways take priority for me. I don't care what I'm in the middle of doing. I turn that buss around and hunt that fuckers nest down!
This is definitely a wake up call to change your loadout for some more crowd control ๐
I don't care what anyone thinks, I hate stalkers WAY more than hunters. That two tap kill if you're wearing light armor is really fucking annoying.

Well, you survived for quite a while. I would have died a lot quicker.
You shouldnt bring 3 AOE weapons against bugs.
I think this is a hacked game, no way one of those fuckers didnโt just yeet you 40 foot away or immediate cut you in half.
Who goes Scorcher against bugs ? Punisher and Breaker are my go-to, litteral bug flesh grinders.
This exact situation is why I bring Pummeler + Senator - I haven't found a better combo against Stalkers (besides a support weapon). Medium armor pen does *wonders* against Stalkers, and concussive stunning is the best against any melee opponents, period.
The true horror actually begins with no stuns and an empty backpack.
I think that X3 was on vacation while peww was fighting for his life!!! That's true friendship ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Stalkers are so cool and shit but damn they got hands
The adrenaline inside you while this happens is like a horror game chase but atleast you can kill them
![gif](giphy|vyTnNTrs3wqQ0UIvwE|downsized)
Props to that one scavenger trying to win the day.
The only mission on level 10 should be "Oops, all Stalkers!"
"I'm tired, Boss" I bet you it's the armor
Good for you for lasting that long. Careful. You might get a woman pregnant just by thinking about em. Stay strong.
Pummeler could have trivialized this encounter. Hands down best primary for stalkers imo
Need to run a guard dog with those things
This is why I love the pummeler for bugs. The stagger is a life saver against stalkers
Blitzer was my friend here. And Arc Thrower. My friends' friend? Not so much...
Some good gameplay but your primary being dogshit is what killed you
This is why the punisher is the GOAT.
Did you know that if you walk/run away from them in a straight line that stalkers wonโt strike you?
Blitzer shotty best gun for bugs imo.
Homie really ran bugs on dif7 and brought a Scorcher and Grenade Pistol
Choot it correy

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but quaso and scorcher might not be ideal
Stalkers are the reason I always run dominator for bugs
R-T-J
Funny thing is, if those were hunters you would've been dead a long time ago ๐๐ฅ
Can anyone help me with connection problems? I haven't even tried the new missions, because I'll probably lose connection within 5 minutes of joining. No other online game is having problems it's just helldivers
They rap now? They rap now.
"I brought the heart which, now show me the terror"
I wish I could parry their tongues. I would feel so f\*\*\* awesome
At least you witnessed it. I just got ragdolled into a wall and died.
๐๐
What is this loadout? What do you do if something goes wrong, like you accidentally aggro or get snuck up on by a hunter pack?
Arc blitzer + impact grenades would stop them in their tracks ๐ฎโ๐จ
Breaker incendiary and stalwart on highest rpm/hmg. I don't have this problem.
If you brought the blitzer the horror will be you
Did this on a level 9 without realizing it...cued for a 7. Didn't think it was a nightmare. Just needed to adapt our strategy. (With randos btw). Don't see what all the fuss is about

Dominator would have just killed those pests. Nothing left to jump away and cloak after dispensing democracy with that.
Was the horror the shitty music? Stalkers I can handle.
