Stuff looks really cool, looking most forward to that gas mortar the most. The heavy flamethrower and SMG underbarrel flame thrower look fun too

Yep that’s the slim one, which is the default one now, even my 30 GB estimate was too big haha

That's weird, the game is only 23GB here?

The large build contains a ton of duplicate data in an attempt to optimize for hard drives and is roughly 150 GB, the slim build cuts out the duplicate data and is closer to 30 GB.

What's the difference between these builds?

I’m not sure. I’d guess when they make the slim version the main branch (and thus no more prod_slim beta), Steam will just remove the beta and install the main version.

No wonder it was still ~130GB when I reinstalled recently expecting it to be half that. I was not aware it wasn't pushed out to the normal install.

As long as you don't break it on Linux I will be happy.

I did that a while ago. Do I have to undo that, once they get rid of the fat version?

You still have to opt in, theyr probably doing this cuz near everyone did

Until they push this update to remove the larger build entirely, you can select the slim version by going to the game properties and checking the beta builds. It’s the “slim_prod” option.

In your Steam game menu, you should also see “[slim_prod]” next to the Helldivers listing.

Think the teeny one has been default for a bit now

On 2024-09-17 (1.001.100), they increased the blast radius. Before, you could get fairly close to the bomb and survive. Now, it's still a guessing game on where the blast radius is to me.

Before the patch, 500kg was not big enough to close 3 nearby bug holes.

It's been changed? I guess it happened when I wasn't playing and after returning I was always somewhat surprised people would pick 500kg because I remember it being kinda ass. The eagle was prone to missing and the short blast radius meant it barely did anything if it missed, so it was kind of a gamble where 9 times out of ten it would work and then that 1 time you really needed it to work it wouldn't work.

I guess I need to give it a new try.

Remember when the 500kg had a short blast radius?

More 500 kgs used than resupplies, divers are spreading democracy the right way

Why use many bullet when bomb do trick

Kinda surprised that Liberty Spikes are undemocratic

You may liberate when ready

Seems to me you read just fine Helldiver. Go with Liberty

I left my Jammer, my Antenna, and my Gunship Fab at Aurora

Despite the common expectation, this does NOT look familiar!

I'm not sure if they forgot to drop the spawn rates after cyberstan or they just fixed the stability and now they can throw a billion enemies as a time at you but man Ohaune is an endless swarm of legs and mandibles like I haven't seen since the early days of the war
