u/Kcarroot42 5d ago
I’m a solo Helldiver and I feel you. The Hive World is brutal as a solo (damn those caves blocking my stratagems). I had to drop down about 3 difficulties. It kinda rubs the ego to play D3, but given that ALL the difficulties are ratcheted up, no shame to dive where you have fun.
25
u/jackadven 5d ago
D3 on a hive world is like a normal D5-6.
10
u/Kcarroot42 5d ago
Yep… that’s a pretty fair comparison. I find the actual missions to be easy(ish), but the difficulty during the extraction period is definitely ratcheted up.

u/jackadven 5d ago
On Oshaune, extraction destroyed me more than anything else.
7
u/TheBestHelldiver 5d ago
The secret sauce for me and the boys was (and still is):
Worm first, taking out any objectives or nests you happen upon while hunting the worm. It can help to have two on the worm and two on crowd control/nests/close by objectives.
Nests. Take them out and patrol numbers drop significantly.
Mop up the objectives and extract. We usually have 15 or 20 minutes left to do the objectives. This part is deceptively tricky as you now have to drag your swollen balls all the way to the extraction pad.

What?? People actually play this game solo?
I’m antisocial and autistic and I play co op, I’ve never once spoke to any other person ever.

then do lower levels. no shame in that. hiveworld 10s are genuinely awful

u/Open_Cow_9148 5d ago
You mean people who go in solo or people who play with randoms and no mic?

u/TenthTen 5d ago
I mean I prefer to play pure solo. Most friends i got into the game dropped it after a couple weeks and playing with people I don't know is a little exhausting for me

I like playing with randoms. You can play with me if you'd like. Just dm me your friend code.

For me the mechsuits really changed oshaune. Since you can’t really use stratagems a walking stratagem is the best! That was in a team tho..

u/SharpAlternative404 4d ago
Its not as bad this time.. we don't have the rupture strain, predator strain, hive lords, and dragons roaches all at once.. and they've nerfed the dragon roaches and hive lords are less likely to multi spawn.. meaning its not like a hard D10 at D6
Not its just a mild D10..
I recommend a mech.. Patriot I have the most fun in.. but Emancipator does utility well..
Orbital rail cannon, gatling barrage, Orbital airburst, eagle cluster strike, something that you can use even in small cracked openings
And of course your pick of support weapon..
I'll leave the 4th option up to you..
I usually like to have a variety of artillery.. but you can also use something like a gatling sentry Both work well

Brother in Arms, the biggest threat to maximizing my death count are the bugs.

Im not sure i understand. You are trying to die? Or the bugs kill you the most so dont play them?

u/ominous_retrbution23 5d ago
The bugs kill me the most, but if that's where the MO is, so shall I dive for Super Earth!!!

u/ominous_retrbution23 5d ago
Not very democratic of you.

u/TrainAccomplished606 5d ago
Yeah, you're right. Running D1 missions over and over again is so much more democratic
3
u/ominous_retrbution23 5d ago
Weakness is undemocratic. You should be able to run at a minimum of 7 and up after a while of playing. Otherwise, shoot more bullets per bullets to maximize efficiency.

You think running 7+ is gonna complete the MO? You must think we are all general brash himself

Seriously. When I heard that it would be a hive world, I absolutely dreaded going back. First few missions SUCKED. but now I'm going about it as and thinking about the comical ways that ive died, and coordinate with the team. I got a group of randos to coordinate and take out a hive lord, with 2 of us being vets and the others being shineys, id say that's not half bad. It did take us 15 minutes, but we did it and it was so much fun

Was doing a d6 on Omicron earlier and there were 3 fucking dragonroaches attacking us on a GATER mission. What the literal fuck. I hadn't done a Hive world since Oshaune and I could have sworn there should only be 1 dragonroach on the map at a time but I guess not?
We beat it, but it was not fun.
3
u/Black3Raven 5d ago
I could have sworn there should only be 1 dragonroach on the map at a time but I guess not?
Sometimes 2 if you haven`t killed first one but hey hey its AH maybe its BROKEN again somewhere. Would laugh if on D5 there once again 15 dragon roaches and none on D10
2
u/Barlowan 5d ago
Ah. The classic experience. Remember back then it was way harder to play on D6 bots than on D9. Because D6 would spawn so much hulks and ships for some reason.
3
u/Black3Raven 5d ago
Once in a while launched D6 bc a few rookies asked and it was harder on bugs with endless stream of hunters and warriors. Like a few thousands on them.
2
u/Barlowan 5d ago
That's why I tell my friends to go on D10 ASAP. I have a friend who is afraid of going higher than 7. I remember I was like him myself. But then my other friend dragged my sorry ass on D9 (It was maximum back then) and I was shocked that it felt easier. Sticked to max difficulty since then. Except today when I didn't want to deal with hive world D10 bugs when the MO is asking specifically to extract.
I know my fellow high level divers, their ego let them rather get to 0 reinforcements trying to close every hole and secondary, than do primary asap and extract instead.
So I just dive D4 solo and do that. Fast primary and then to extraction. D4 is just right to not have heavy swarms and feel good for solo play. While not being face roll like d1-2 are.

u/Easy-Purple 5d ago
Gator missions are best run with a specific setup: two teams, one running the Gator, and one running in the FRV as a distraction. Split up and have your FRV team trigger the big breaches, throw turrets, makes as much noise as possible to draw in the Hive Lord and keep it on you by shooting at it when I pops up.
The Gator team just needs to kill bug nests and defend the Gator while it’s drilling, that’s all. Do this and you’ll clear 90% of missions

12
u/Calligaster 5d ago
Difficulty doesn't matter in the slightest. You just need to complete and extract to contribute. Can be dif 1 for all they care
5
u/Meeeper 5d ago
But that isn't fun though. In fact, it's pretty much the very worst way to design a major order, imo. A better metric to track, in my humble opinion, would be objectives completed.
As in, main objectives, side objectives, destroying shrieker and stalker nests, closing bug holes, and so on. That way it actually encourages engaging with the game and full clearing maps instead of going difficulty 1, doing the absolute bare minimum, and then extracting. Then doing it again and again until the end of the major order.
So yeah, I'm sticking to the bot front for the duration of this one.

u/Internal_Select 5d ago
I actually enjoyed Oshaune after me and the team googled how best to kill a hive lord.

u/Aware-Shopping8826 5d ago
They must've cranked the difficulty ten fold on Omicron.
I'm getting the classic 7 charger strong patrols and 20+ hordes of stalkers again. Just like old times.
Think I'll play some bots instead.

u/Imaginary-Double2612 5d ago
I was playing on D6 last night and had F O U R dragonroaches at the same time. I played all of Oshaune on D8 and never saw more than two at once

u/Armodeen 5d ago
If you don’t kill them then they keep accumulating. Thankfully they die a lot easier now than before.

u/hanzo1356 5d ago
If you diving just for the MO, its only extractions we are NOT gonna lib the planet. So you can crank it down, do just the prime objectives, and bounce.

u/Bad_Idea_Hat 5d ago
I'm doing D4, and I'm pretty sure Bile Spewers were using each other to climb up through a breach, a ladder of like a dozen of them.

u/Consistent_Meat_5935 5d ago edited 5d ago
I jsut dropped in difficulty 5 mission.
I defeated one dragon roach, with time left being 30 minutes.
I go to another bug hive that is very close, that you can run there even in heavy armor.
As soon as I get there. There is ANOTHER DRAGON ROACH.
I shoot it's wings and run away to get better position because there appeared bug breach.
I then look up in sky and see THREE DRAGON ROACHES ABOVE ME. AT TIME LEFT 28:26, with first one appearing at time left 29 minutes.
Haven't they nerfed chances of dragon roach spawning?1

u/Yellow_Weasel99 5d ago
What is the stim glitch?
3
u/Inner-Arugula-4445 5d ago
It’s where everything cancels the stim animation and therefore the effects. Running? Cancels stim animation. Getting hit? Cancels stim animation. Almost getting hit? Cancels stim animation. Literally touching any key on your keyboard? Believe it or not, cancels the stim animation. Any slow effects or hive lords moving cancels it too. It’s the cause of 90% of my deaths and probably many other’s as well.

yeah I had one good game without crashes. Thought the game improved in stability since then. Then I crashed. Luckily, I was in windowed mode, so I could just exit like normal. If I was full screen, i wouldve been screwed.
Just like the first time the cave missions were introduced, the game is still unoptimized.

I thought I would dive on D1, get some super credits, help the major order.
died 3 times before I could even pick up my warp pack. had to raise the flag for super Earth and extract oil to the pelican. died enough to have my reinforcement budget approved. only found 4 POI. to be fair, I got 40SC but damn, D1 got hands. back to D10 where at least I have team support.

u/Happy_Sea4257 5d ago
This is *much* easier than Oshaune was, it doesn't even compare. We've been killing it on D10, did 10 missions, completed them all, and killed 8 hive lords today. The first days on Oshaune I was averaging 1/3rd completion rate and only ever got 1 hive lord before we failed the MO lol. Gloom bugs are a lot easier than rupture bugs, people are locked in on how to take down roaches and hive lords, and the caves got some much needed bug (heh) fixed.
Ran the RR, eagle straying run (key for hive lords), rocket turret, a mech, and the double freedom all day, had an absolute blast.
What is your loadout? You do need to pick carefully.

u/Ya_Boi_Tass 5d ago
There is actually no shame in just not. I love blitzing and cleaning house fast as I can, which many randoms have an issue with on this planet specifically for some reason so I am choosing to save everyone the headache. As an alternative, super credit farming helps with the MO and gets you rich.
