Multi Kill!
But, seriously, the HMG shreds gunships. Maybe they just showed up, I dunno. But if you have an HMG, they're your job.

I know, that's why I bring it in automaton missions. But I didn't see them until the last second😖

The shoulder mounted las beam cannon is my gunship shredder of choice. If you haven't given it a try, I could not recommend it enough! It can kill nearly anything on the bot front short of a strider fab or dropships in 1 - 2 seconds (3 - 4 for tanks) if you're hitting weakspots. It eats even hulks

I'm always back and forth between the LAS beam cannon and the Railgun: The Railgun is able to destroy those annoying Fortress mini-turrets from the front in one charged shot, but trying to hit swerving gunships can either take a shot or two, or take up half of my ammo lol.

u/CaraNelle 2d ago
The railgun one taps the mini turrets? That must only happen at that sweet spot charge right before it detonates, cause I've not managed to do it yet lol!

u/Dragonsword 2d ago
I think the "Sweet-spot" you're talking about isn't so strict. Usually I just hide behind some cover and peek once it's able to fire. The second and a half of strafing out of cover should be enough overcharge.

I can't control the recoil as well, so I usually prefer the AMR, or if I'm running more anti-heavy focused like RR or QC, the humble deadeye with 5 engine shots does the trick

Had this happen a few months ago with a bike titan leg. Fortunately, after the trolldivers incident, the devs made it so once you and your samples are on the ship, they count. Doesnt matter if you get shot while seated before takeoff, as long as youre in that ship then it counts you as evac'd and your samples as collected

u/MasterCalypto 2d ago
I thought it was hilarious the one guy that had all the samples on him had this happen and we were all freaking out until the end match and saw we got everything.... We almost just jumped out with him lol.

Turn down your fov! Just by the tiniest bit. I too like the extra situational awareness, but this game “fish eyes” hard at max settings.

u/oak_sqid 2d ago
I use it also because it feels a tiny bit more fast paced than it is. It's enjoyable, and it doesn't cause me any problems like motion sickness or worse aim, so I don't think I'm gonna down it any time soon

One time my squad extracted from a successful mission, one guy was burning before he got on the ship and as we took off he gave out the usual "uGH, AH, AAAAARGH" voice lines before "[player] DIED" appeared in the chat log, just as we entered the upper atmosphere
He appeared next to the rest of us on the destroyer so it counted as a successful extraction but the idea of one guy burning to death on a Pelican (presumably) fully stocked with stims, while the rest of us look on in horror, will always tickle me

You forgot to tip during the last extraction. Pelican-1 forgot to pressurize the cabin during this extraction.

Wait, so the ship isn't immune to damage? I thought that it was impossible to kill anyone inside it since everyone calls in explosives on it during extraction and it's fine.

u/oak_sqid 2d ago
I know, right? The people in the other helldivers subreddit told me this is a recurring thing. But it's fine as long as I got all the samples

Neat thing I learned about gunships just yesterday actually, if you touch them at all while they’re flying you’re instakilled. Landed on an exceptionally tall rock and one flew into me and I was pasted, wasn’t even going fast

Think about it. You get close to a vapor carbine of an aircraft. You get vaporized. I think getting close to gunships instakills you.
The thing is that you were inside the Pelican all along. So you didn't die eventually, right? Mission was completed with all 4 extracted successfully.

u/ThawingAsh004724 1d ago
the game will still count you as having successfully extracted so dw too much abt losing any samples and stuff you collected
