Comment on Helldivers 2 has "performed well ahead of expectations" and topped more than 8m sales
Neato@ttrpg.network 7 months agoI didn’t realize it was happening until I used machine gun where it’s slow. I actually like it but if you didn’t realize I could see it being confusing.
Also the key binds aren’t super. There’s a lot of overlap and weird finger positioning for some stuff. The stratagems especially. I’m running, holding L1 and using my right hand to dial in the d pad like I’m hacking the matrix. It’s kinda fun and stressful but I could see complaints about it.
I play on PC so it's hard to say how that stuff feels comparatively. Can you move and use stratagems at the same time?! For me, WASD is both my movement and the stratagems, so if I press CTRL to pull up the menu I can't walk anymore.
And yeah, different guns have different aim speeds to balance them. That's where you may find the machine gun too unwieldy and want to try the stalwart LMG instead
Yes, pro tip is to bind the strategem controls to arrow keys or something on your mouse so you can keep moving.
I've done it, I'll get to practicing, moving and inputting is extremely clutch, I wish they informed you in-game that that's a thing
I wonder, did they change the defaults at some point? Mine was already bound to the arrow keys, I never had to explicitly set that.

The rebinding options are amazing, though. Being able to choose between tap, double tap, press, long press and hold for every input is fantastic. Two seconds after discovering this, press ctrl was crouch while double tap was prone and hold shift was dash while double tap was dive, and it feels so good.
Idk about controller, but keyboard support is amazing.
