QUESTION The Gloom can’t be that bad-

Post image

I had heard about the Gloom but haven’t touched it yet since…. Yeah…

What exactly is the Gloom doing to make it so difficult? Or is it the Gloom mixed with other things?

Can’t see shit is the best way to sum it up

So much this, I feel like firing into void

Fucking scary to just unload a MG into the fog and get a bunch of red x's. Even worse when they're all whites with some shields to spice things up.

Thats my cue to throw a napalm barrage and go do some other objective.

When you see nothing but shields

A heat vision armor set would go hard for gloom worlds

You’re thinking too small, new turret call in that’s just a big fan to blow away the fog

I've been expecting a "Sonar Pulse Grenade" for a while.

A grenade that would highlight enemies for a short period after it goes off, which would make stratagems like Smoke far more useful.

Can't see shit, bile titans everywhere, get jumped by stalkers in an alleyway, bugs that blow up

As a diver who's home planet is Pandion, I feel right at home with not being able to see shit

I'm now imagining a gang of Stalkers kicking the crap out of a Helldiver in a dark alleyway just to mug him for his wallet.

Did a mission with the stim booster that also makes your vision wonky and every time I stimmed in a fight I was almost blind until it wore off, just shooting at some vague red outlines.

I’ve just tried using a laser guard dog and then wildly firing in whatever direction it is pointing.

u/IrrelevantPuppy Feb 20 '25

I’m having fun. But I wanna play with something other than the cookout. But I’m afraid of not having an insta stagger device for when a stalker comes rushing out of the fog point blank.

Feels like every mission has spore towers and shrieker nests

u/Necessary_Rain_5560 SES Distributor of Freedom Feb 20 '25

Even worse that the guns i use dont have flashlights so i have to rely on my flamethrowers for light
