re: Helldivers 2 - Playstation Breaks Its PC Launch Record

I'm not all that excited about the new gear as it's geared specifically towards electricity weapons (which I don't care for). I think there was one helmet with a buff, but other than that the capes and other helms were just more ornamental eye-candy.

My nephew has been out of the game for a couple of weeks and logged into try a Suicide-level Termanid mission from the Major Order. This is a kid who had solo'd a Helldive prior to the game going viral. He had no idea they had raised the difficulty by increasing spawns, but he quickly learned as he was running this solo.

I got in with him right as he was trying to start defending the 2nd silo, it was a slaughter with multiple bile titans eventually coming at us at toward the end of the defense. We finally got the 2nd one done but just getting to the 3rd took so long that the 2nd one went back offline (I didn't know that could happen lolol).

A team which works well together and coordinates their strats and modules could handle a Suicide level, but it just wasn't going to happen with my level 23 arse and his just logging back in for the first time since the mob increase.
