So, the "grind" in Helldivers 2 is enjoyable, if you're using it to test different combinations out, and not relying or trying to play with a team.

I tend to prefer PvE games in general, but I really want to choose the style of play for myself, vs supporting a team.

Solo, I tend to favor stealth and rapid recycle of support weaponry. Yes, the precision strike to take out Automaton outposts works well, but it also works because it's a rapid attack.

The sniper rifle kind of sucks, because the charge/fire cycle is slooooower than the other options.

And it can't oneshot some medium enemies.

Which means you're in a weird position if you favor the long reach over close in. Do you sacrifice your support weapon options to the railgun, which is good anti-armor, but sucks at range and cycling, or the Anti-Material rifle, which is good at range and rather powerful, cycles fast, but weak against strong armor?

Anyway, running solo against lower ranked challenges is doable. At least against Automatons, and it's a good way to test out a new Strategem to figure out how to mix it in your game.

But, motherfucker, come in to my goddamn drop then get grumpy I'm not playing your way, or doing what you expect, while I'm trying out a new thing or three.

I intentionally didn't put up an SOS, bucko.

Anyway, this is my stupid rant.

Also, I just discovered you can blow open the doors of various shipping containers for fun and profit.

@nadams I don’t mind it, until I’m doing my own thing and suddenly have to split shit.

I do not talk in game. Not with random players, and so I have my mic muted all the time.
