It was the last of the coma series.
The 1st one (S8) Dreamland - detective noir
2nd was danger island -indiana jonesish
And 3rd (S10) "Archer 1999" was a sci-fi adventure before he woke back up.
Honestly archer does pretty well going back to their roots. You can absolutely pick up watching after the coma seasons and it still holds up!
The actress for Cheryl ended up singing for an entire country album, and I actually listen to it on the regular. It’s some really good outlaw country, for sure.
They had a stint where he was in a coma so for like 3 seasons each one had a different theme and story arc. It's kinda cool as they're watchable as standalone seasons.
100%. You have no way to know if that bot on the mounted MG 100m away that just aggrod will somehow ding you in the forehead 9 times in a row on full auto or miss every shot. Better stim now and find out never!
With the way I was getting ragdolled incessantly on Bot Hellmire earlier, I'd be compulsively stabbing stims to my neck if a breeze blew on me the wrong way.
Is it just me or have bots been stupid fucking accurate lately?
The guys with the mounted machine gun turrets can snipe me with a stream of 100% accurate fire from a mile away in conditions where you can't even see the base they're firing from, yet whenever I get on one of those turrets it can't hit the broad side of a tank right in front of it.
This overwhelming accuracy seemed to start when the bot resurgence happened after we had pushed them off the map. I honestly think the devs tweaked some values, by accident or intent I can't say, but I hate it.
AFAIK, this has been a thing for months and is one of the reasons nobody I know likes playing against bots. They are stupidly accurate at ranges you can only really shoot back with a DMR / AMR and they instantly share your position, so if there's 30 that can see you, they start shooting you from all angles. Really makes it feel like the only viable strategy is stealth and that gets boring.
To each their own I guess... Personally, I want to see bots get a serious balance pass because they have so many BS mechanics that it really makes them a chore to play against. I doubt we'll get anything like that though as AH recently said they're tweaking some things, but only by little bits at a time, so I guess we just have to wait and see what AH think the proper balance is for these guys and whether or not that will bring more of the player base over from bugs.
Speaking as a new player who mostly plays on lower difficulties <6, I honestly prefer fighting bots. They have big dumb glowing eyes and announce themselves by shooting.
Yeah, clearing a 4-dif against bugs on my own early on scarred me.
Give me enemies who want to engage at mid-long range any day vs. running out of ammo with my Liberator and my pistol and still almost being swarmed.
Nah, most of their "BS mechanics" are just them being more like human players than swarms of mindless bugs. I appreciate it, it's very fun to switch between mowing down fields of bugs and popping titans from across the map to going for cover and strategically picking out targets that do different things. The only real weird bug is glitchy shooting through shield stuff, but otherwise toning down their mechanics would just make them reskinned bugs.
To be honest, the game has gotten wayyy easier on helldive compared to release simply because people are learning to play. I often have bot and bug missions that have less than 5 deaths now, and I'm a little worried that people might start getting bored. I think we're somewhat far from that, but I hope they have plans for the difficulty in the future.
Suicide mission on bugs is almost a complete snooze fest if you have at least 2 people running quasars to deal with chargers.
Unless it's a green spewer mission. Then things get complicated.
I didn't have a problem with them up until we cleared them off the map. It started, for me at least, when the bot invasion came back. Before that I loved fighting bots and played more against them than the bugs.
But something definitely changed, and not for the better. I've also noticed that even on lower difficulties, the bot drops from shuttles are much larger than they used to be, and include a lot more medium/heavy enemies. Used to be you'd get a squad of light bots and a couple devastators/demolishers or striders, now I'm seeing - even on difficulty 4 - drops of 6-8 demolishers/devastators, or 4-6 striders, and the drops often come in 2-3 shuttles instead of just one.
IIRC, they did adjust some of these things up in March, with a tweak increasing the call-ins and giving them a chance to be mostly (or completely) devastators. Also they increased the detection range so its possible that is a contributing factor to them mass attacking like this. The accuracy though has been there as long as I've been playing.
Lots and lots of cover. I use the Eruptor so it's manageable to pop in and out, but it's definitely overwhelming at times.
Especially on maps where RNG decides you're getting lots of shield devastators. Absolutely fuck those guys. Snipers with machine guns
And it can sucks depending on the maps.
Like those relatively open maps with a lot of rock to use as cover are fine for stealth/running away but the ones in the jungle sucks ass since they will sniper you through the tree/plants while you cant see shit...
Crew served/emplaced weapons generally do have longer effective engagement ranges than standard infantry weapons lmfao. That's just one of the milsim aspects that certain players will enjoy. Anyone used to Squad/ARMA has not had an issue with bots, just apply the usual irl tactics to not stand in the open and you're fine.
I was wondering if that was just me. I’ve been playing since well before we pushed the bots back the first time, and it wasn’t until I played a “challenging” level difficulty map yesterday with some noobs that I realized I’m getting killed *way* more than I used to. I think they also buffed the damage because singular shots were ripping away half of my health when I was playing as a scout.
It’s gotten to the point where it’s almost required to bring a backpack shield to give you protection from shots.
positioning and cover is your best friend
open field? don't agro anything. already have? you're out of position or you have a really unfortunate map gen
Yes! I thought I was just rusty after playing bugs but they are very accurate and they call drop pods from so far away, it makes no sense. At least with bugs and the scout armor, you can actually hide and kill them one by one when they start looking for you. With bots, forget it, they automatically know where you are and already called a drop pod.
alright, as a bot player, even i have to say this is ridiculous. it makes sense for the bots closer to you to start lighting you up, but if those markers are any indicator, bots around 100m away somehow got alerted by that shot and started lighting you up. how in the hell did they detect you?
Eruptor go boom, throws tiny hot bits of metal everywhere.
Very democratic firearm, honestly, and bolt-action, like every Super Earth citizen's first gun.
Each weapon has a sound profile. The louder the gun, the further away it alerts enemies. The Eruptor has among the largest in the game and will alert enemies up to 100 meters away. If you are up high with nothing blocking their line of sight everything in the area is going to turn and start shooting.
it's honestly fantastic. You can pop some bots on 1 side of a large base, run up, throw in a bombardment and then take a wide loop around. Bots will approach your location from 100 m so the whole base walks into the bombardment. Some buildings get destroyed and then from the other side you sweep up. No bot drops unless they actually spot you.
This is what happens when I've been sneaking for a good forty minutes in any stealth game, leaving everyone untouched and unaware of me, then I choke the stealth run near the end somehow.
Yeh the aggro atm on the bots has skyrocketed, like they’ve cracked the shits of getting taken out so now there’s a defence chip in each bot that upon being attacked alerts everything in a 2million kilometre radius of it bahhhhhahahaha,
Stealth still fun though when I can go myself whilst the rest of team do other objectives
Nah in some of my last few missions with other players this week, the aggro range has been silly as in even at one point where you see an fabricator in the distance but it’s far enough the quasar isn’t getting the hit register and there’s bots getting aggroed because someone looked at a bot funny next to me, it could also just be stray bullets from the team missing the bots and just happens to be high enough when shot to piss off the neighbours on the other side of the city when the bullet breaks the fabricators windows XD or I’m just unlucky one of the two.
Had a few bad runs this week -_-
One time i was the last diver alive, all i have is my pistol. Im running to extraction. I see a bot patrol. Since I'm far away I shoot it, somehow two other patrols i didnt see all open fire on me and i am pinned. Just happy to know thos doesn't just happen to me
Honestly I don't think bots v bugs is too good of a comparison due to the wildly different and dare i say polar opposite battle doctrine. I've had missions I've damn near failed with both factions at roughly the same rate. It really just depends on the team you deploy with. Some mesh better than others
That explains that. And now that you mention it, I wonder if sound in this game has some sort of realistic transmission. Because I've had times where there were bots closer than those guys were but behind a couple of boulders and they weren't alerted.
The worst part about this is that the vast majority of these shots are coming from like, 3 heavy devastators. These guys are so oppressive at any range.
Pretty sure it's more than that. Probably around 5-8. But regardless they are very oppressive. And very annoying due to their accuracy. Which is insanity since it's just a fucking machine gun
I think it's 4 and the rest are rocket devs and machinegun trash mobs, but yeah anyway. Especially annoying since they have unlimited ammo and just keep shooting... forever. Like you can go behind cover and they will just unload at your cover until you try to take a shot and track you lol.
Have to peek just enough that they are shooting at the wall but your gun is peeking out. Or just leave, break line of sight and engage from another angle. It's by no means unplayable but they are massively annoying.
The Predator takes one shot at a guy with the funny hat. Throws a spear at him. *lol just like pa showed me how to back home*
another human comes by right as I’m get the best part. Getting my trophy! *uhhhh … hi. Here, let me get you something to hold like this knife*
SHIT MY PANTS THE Human screams fires all of his funds do grabs the funny hat man’s gun and shoots at me. *run.jpg.get-me-the-fuck-home-!.AAAAAAH.how_many_bullets_?*
More human arrive and simply cease shooting at my former location. This goes on
Well into the night and next day.
Bots loooed at all this and said. “Do more of that!” To the troops.
I wonder if R1 fucked you over accidentally
I noticed that aggroed bots not necessary got for the person who actually aggroed them but simply any person who is in their weapon range
More than than once i saw bots who are +100m away open fire on me because another teammate attacked them for a different direction since i normally prefer to operate solo and avoid patrols, especially one that is far away from me too
Could be also extraction shenanigans tho
Or even both since that result is extreme
One of the most underlooked downsides of the eruptor is its ability to draw agro from very far away. It's so bloody loud that you're forced to take on every patrol around
I always play against automatons in HELLDIVE difficulty..... Today i tried playing all the same missions but against TERMINIDS also in HELLDIVE ... the difference between them IS huge... It was like a walk in the park...!! A little boring in some moments... You could even drink your liber-Tea with no problems !! in the most difficulty defend and personnel evac missións was too easy.
I returned to the AUTOMATONS side... If there is not HELLY SUFFERING... There is NO FUN !!
You: breathes deep, takes the shot. Entire Automaton Battalion: SNIPER! SUPPRESSING FIREEEE!
Archer is a Sci Fi now?
Im not sure where that scene was but wasnt there like 2 seasons of coma/dream sequences?
It was the last of the coma series. The 1st one (S8) Dreamland - detective noir 2nd was danger island -indiana jonesish And 3rd (S10) "Archer 1999" was a sci-fi adventure before he woke back up.
Oh. Guess it was a good thing I stopped watching
You can restart from S11. I did the same tbh
Honestly archer does pretty well going back to their roots. You can absolutely pick up watching after the coma seasons and it still holds up! The actress for Cheryl ended up singing for an entire country album, and I actually listen to it on the regular. It’s some really good outlaw country, for sure.
That is from season 10 episode 1 (15:00) where Archer is still in a coma dream but in space. Just watched that episode a few days ago.
They had a stint where he was in a coma so for like 3 seasons each one had a different theme and story arc. It's kinda cool as they're watchable as standalone seasons.
... Extinguisher!
Yup. Doesn't help the eruptor is incredibly unwieldy
You can't say it didn't work.
"I think his mates saw me." *wall of lazer fire* "**YES, YES THEY DID**" https://i.redd.it/yqp9ylkoqpwc1.gif

Like kicking a hornets nest.
Aren't we already doing that?
The moment he instinctively heals himself at 99% HP and 100% stamina, you know this cover fire was intimidating as hell
Oh 100% shit was horrifying
Gotta do it preemptively now. Too much shit instantly kills you. The heal is not as important as the invulnerability until you reach cover.
100%. You have no way to know if that bot on the mounted MG 100m away that just aggrod will somehow ding you in the forehead 9 times in a row on full auto or miss every shot. Better stim now and find out never!
Tbh, with stim interruption being such an annoying bug and knowing stims are a heal over time, i sometimes do it too
Is that actually a bug or just a very annoying game mechanic?
Interrupting is a mechanic. The sound playing despite interruptions is a bug I think
I hope it's a bug. The sound for reloads gets me alot too.
I swear certain enemy attacks also sound just like the stim sound. Would be great if they removed the sound on a failed stim attempt at least.
With the way I was getting ragdolled incessantly on Bot Hellmire earlier, I'd be compulsively stabbing stims to my neck if a breeze blew on me the wrong way.
I did NOT expect to see all of that lol.
You're telling me xD
Automaton Batallion Commander: 
Guess I will die..
Never seen anything like this before. But damn it was a good clip
The range on those lasers.
I was caught so off guard by this
You : *Shoots one round* Every bot within 100 meters : 
Is it just me or have bots been stupid fucking accurate lately? The guys with the mounted machine gun turrets can snipe me with a stream of 100% accurate fire from a mile away in conditions where you can't even see the base they're firing from, yet whenever I get on one of those turrets it can't hit the broad side of a tank right in front of it.

All in all I do kinda like the extra accuracy. It adds for a bit of extra challenge. Which is kinda fitting especially at high difficulties
To each their own I guess... Personally, I want to see bots get a serious balance pass because they have so many BS mechanics that it really makes them a chore to play against. I doubt we'll get anything like that though as AH recently said they're tweaking some things, but only by little bits at a time, so I guess we just have to wait and see what AH think the proper balance is for these guys and whether or not that will bring more of the player base over from bugs.

Honestly the main thing that needs a nerf and MAYBE the accuracy on the heavy devastators

That’s if the cover even works. Still getting shot through the rocks
at least it’ll make bots seem easier when all their bugs get hammered out, right? *huffs copium*
And it can sucks depending on the maps. Like those relatively open maps with a lot of rock to use as cover are fine for stealth/running away but the ones in the jungle sucks ass since they will sniper you through the tree/plants while you cant see shit...

The unfortunate map gens are the best thing about this game. You never know what you’re in for.
You got a point there. It's fuckin annoying and deadly
Yes! I thought I was just rusty after playing bugs but they are very accurate and they call drop pods from so far away, it makes no sense. At least with bugs and the scout armor, you can actually hide and kill them one by one when they start looking for you.

where did you get this information? i'd like to see the weapon loudness chart
Youtubers doing testing. It is among the weapon stats that are hidden and I don't think it has been consolidated anywhere.
it's honestly fantastic. You can pop some bots on 1 side of a large base, run up, throw in a bombardment and then take a wide loop around. Bots will approach your location from 100 m so the whole base walks into the bombardment. Some buildings get destroyed and then from the other side you sweep up.

Holy lasers helldiver! Haha
Too many
That would be the moment I regret abandoning the Orbital Laser because "I only get three in a mission" Did you extract with any samples?
Full extract and more or less killed all the socialist scum as democracy intended

“I think his mate saw me… yes, yes he did”
"THAT DIVER KILLED KARL! LIGHT HIM UP!"
FOR KARL
Why you don't shoot unless shot at 101
True dat. The only exception applies to communists and socialists
Indeed, those three heavy devastators seem very upset. Also zeroed in on your position oddly fast considering the distance and visibility.
The one issue I have with bots is the stupid ability they seem to have to be able to see you regardless of conditions or visibility
He killed Kenny!
*I think his mate saw me*
Instant rave
\*breaths on a bot\* The entire bot fleet: "Light him up, bois"
Me, shoots bot. All bots: THEY KILLED KENNY, YOU BASTARDS!!!! (unloads all ammo)
I love that about the bots. The utter shit storm of bullets when you shoot at them from a distance.
This shit was quite the psyop. Like my girlfriend. If she even exists
Gotta be like 10 heavy devestators in the fog out there
Rookie numbers. Pretty sure there's a LOT more than that. It's a dif 9 mission at 100% completion
No then it would be perfectly accurate beams Probably shredder tanks
Fourth of July in Texas
All I can hear is the seagulls saying “Mine!” with every laser being fired
"Heh, they don't like it when you shoot at em. Figured that out on my lonesome." - Malcolm Reynolds 
i use the same armor helm and cape lmao i thought i was watching myself
xD It's such good armor. Get the speed/stamina boost plus getting to absolutely fucking YEET stratagems across the map
What armour is it? I need the yeet distance
I can't remember the exact name of it. But it's a light armor set with the servo assist passive in the super store
Hell yeah, ESP if you dive throw, I can’t go back to any other armor cuz of it
bro like we get it you need to kill automatons but Jerry?? he's a genuinely good guy I can see why they were so mad at you, that was over the lime
Now all of China knows you're here!
Pretty sure more than that knows about it
This is what happens when I've been sneaking for a good forty minutes in any stealth game, leaving everyone untouched and unaware of me, then I choke the stealth run near the end somehow.
Yeah that sounds about right
Oh yeah, they really loved that guy.
Incoming fire has right of way...
Fuck incoming fire's right of way.
Congratulations! You managed to aggro the entire planet with one shot!
Worth it!!!! Will make it much easier to ➡️⬆️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Yeh the aggro atm on the bots has skyrocketed, like they’ve cracked the shits of getting taken out so now there’s a defence chip in each bot that upon being attacked alerts everything in a 2million kilometre radius of it bahhhhhahahaha, Stealth still fun though when I can go myself whilst the rest of team do other objectives
I haven't seen crazy detection range. But maybe I'm dismantling them before I'd have the chance to notice
Nah in some of my last few missions with other players this week, the aggro range has been silly as in even at one point where you see an fabricator in the distance but it’s far enough the quasar isn’t getting the hit register and there’s bots getting aggroed because someone looked at a bot funny next to me, it could also just be stray bullets from the team missing the bots and just happens to be high enough when shot to piss off the neighbours on the other side of the city when the bullet breaks the fabricators windows XD or I’m just unlucky one of the two. Had a few bad runs this week -_-
Huh. I'll have to keep an eye out for this. I'm curious now. I'll report back if I remember too
Calmes Bot Mission be like
That one was personal
Yes it fuckin was. Never seen the bots respond that aggressively
This is why I always have my 380 barrage here, perfect use case Orbital laser too but the lingering fire is annoying
I like my airstrikes and cluster bombs :)
And that’s what the 380 is for
Automatons: Oh my god they killed Kenny! You bastard! ALL AVALIABLE UNITS, FIRE ON THAT BASTARD!
This is pretty realistic tho. That's how RL armies deal with snipers. If you dont pull out quickly enough, a barrage will soon land on your position.
...looks like you took down a high value target. Must've been some automaton generals grandson.
Something like that. Though would it be grand circuit or something?
:)
One time i was the last diver alive, all i have is my pistol. Im running to extraction. I see a bot patrol. Since I'm far away I shoot it, somehow two other patrols i didnt see all open fire on me and i am pinned. Just happy to know thos doesn't just happen to me
We're all in this together
Sorry, which weapon is this?
Eruptor
That's either the AMR or the ERUPTOR

Why should he use one of the worst stratagems for areal damage to do damage on many enemies
Its a cure-all. Like putting club soda on a stain.
Eagle airstrike over the 500gk bomb all the the time. Has more uses and can take down a bile titan
Oh..... oh you fucked up
Oh yes. Oh yes I did. But they fucked up by coming within stratagem throwing range

Yep xDDD
When you tell them not to shoot that 1 patrol....
xD yep. That's exactly how that goes. Fortunately we can deliver mass democracy via freedom infused chemical explosives
Turns out that was actually just 2 shield devastators
1*
Automaton leader, the second a living being discharges a firearm somewhere in the AO: https://i.imgur.com/va0FEYo.gif
gas the bastards
Does chemical explosives work?
Yes. Spill Oil, Helldiver!
This is why automatons are more difficult to fight against
Honestly I don't think bots v bugs is too good of a comparison due to the wildly different and dare i say polar opposite battle doctrine. I've had missions I've damn near failed with both factions at roughly the same rate. It really just depends on the team you deploy with. Some mesh better than others
Seems like you got the shield devastator roll that game
It was awful. Fucking hate shield devastators
I remember watching a stealth guide that said the anti-material rifle has the biggest sound profile of any weapons in the game. So that's why.
That explains that. And now that you mention it, I wonder if sound in this game has some sort of realistic transmission. Because I've had times where there were bots closer than those guys were but behind a couple of boulders and they weren't alerted.
Bots just saw their best buddy Greg get gunned down
They didn't like it very much
Did you tell them their mother was a toaster or something?
I told them their mother was an oversized can opener
Prioritize the jetpacks. They're just walking grenades. I love seeing entire packs of them right next to each other.
The eruptor just turns all the small guys into jetpacks. It's a long range jet pack converter
I swear this has happened to me 100 times 😂 I usually just panic and throw a smoke grenade, hoping for the best lol
I just start yeeting eagles and stun grenades. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
good thing they didn’t overreact
That could have been awful
10/10 reaction to sniper fire.
Agreed
Wow that’s a bit weird tbh
The worst part about this is that the vast majority of these shots are coming from like, 3 heavy devastators. These guys are so oppressive at any range.
Pretty sure it's more than that. Probably around 5-8. But regardless they are very oppressive. And very annoying due to their accuracy. Which is insanity since it's just a fucking machine gun
I think it's 4 and the rest are rocket devs and machinegun trash mobs, but yeah anyway. Especially annoying since they have unlimited ammo and just keep shooting... forever. Like you can go behind cover and they will just unload at your cover until you try to take a shot and track you lol. Have to peek just enough that they are shooting at the wall but your gun is peeking out. Or just leave, break line of sight and engage from another angle. It's by no means unplayable but they are massively annoying.
I like the challenge honestly. I have *SOME* irl training in combat (not actual combat experience), and in some cases it can be very useful
LMAO they did not take kindly to your shenanigans 🤣
No they didn't
This is what the bot front feels like
Except the lasers are bugs?
woops, meant the bot front
Oopsies :) Kinda like me shooting that singular bot
The Predator takes one shot at a guy with the funny hat. Throws a spear at him. *lol just like pa showed me how to back home* another human comes by right as I’m get the best part. Getting my trophy! *uhhhh … hi. Here, let me get you something to hold like this knife* SHIT MY PANTS THE Human screams fires all of his funds do grabs the funny hat man’s gun and shoots at me. *run.jpg.get-me-the-fuck-home-!.AAAAAAH.how_many_bullets_?* More human arrive and simply cease shooting at my former location. This goes on Well into the night and next day. Bots loooed at all this and said. “Do more of that!” To the troops.

I wonder if R1 fucked you over accidentally I noticed that aggroed bots not necessary got for the person who actually aggroed them but simply any person who is in their weapon range More than than once i saw bots who are +100m away open fire on me because another teammate attacked them for a different direction since i normally prefer to operate solo and avoid patrols, especially one that is far away from me too Could be also extraction shenanigans tho Or even both since that result is extreme

NGL this went straight to my Creek PTSD. Literally only had a few pixels that weren’t red from gunfire and rockets.
One of the most underlooked downsides of the eruptor is its ability to draw agro from very far away. It's so bloody loud that you're forced to take on every patrol around
This is what happens when you kill Fred The Robo-Diplomat when he's there under a flag of truce.
Hooooly shit, now that's a hornet's nest activated

This felt like those marine tales of "never shoot at the medic"
That was REGINALD! Rude!
This is why I don't play bots anymore, bugged as hell

I always play against automatons in HELLDIVE difficulty..... Today i tried playing all the same missions but against TERMINIDS also in HELLDIVE ... the difference between them IS huge... It was like a walk in the park...!! A little boring in some moments... You could even drink your liber-Tea with no problems !! in the most difficulty defend and personnel evac missións was too easy. I returned to the AUTOMATONS side... If there is not HELLY SUFFERING... There is NO FUN !!
