Of course not. They go flying across the horizon with a well-placed shotgun blast same as always.
And that's for the better! Why would you want to decrease the jank!?
They've managed to sneak in more "Setpiece" moments than before though, there's this one level that has you making a mad dash to a allied squad while kamikazes chase you down and blow everything up. It's not to the level of Insect Armageddon but there are more "rally at the objective" moments than before. (That is, there's two or three instead of zero past the tutorial.)
I'm about thirty missions in now. Still slumming it with lvl 5 weapons. Should play on hard instead.
You are not alone.Huh, 5 and 6 have dedicated trope pages now. I'll expand them when i get the chance.
They're really packing a lot of enemy types in goddamn.
You are not alone.I think the Wing Diver has benefitted the most from the backpack slot. Throwing some Awesome, but Impractical weapons like the Gleipnir in there has made the class far safer and cooler at the same time.
And previously running out of energy basically meant you couldn't do anything for a few critical seconds. Now you can! That's good!
And while the luminous shield types probably are the most overall useful i just can't say no to a lightsaber.

You are not alone.The backpack slot has been one of the best additions. It's great to have an emergency crowd clear, drop a life vendor for an air raider, or use similar tricks.
Edit: I also love the mantling system. Makes it way easier to get around obstacles now.

Who watches the watchmen?I'm still just a couple missions past 100 with my main, Wing Diver.
Goddamn does this game have a hell of a lot of missions.
Lol at Archelus going full Worf Effect.
You are not alone.There are 147 missions before the DLC missions. Yeah, that mission was a big "Oh, no" moment.
What difficulty are you playing on? I did Air Raider on normal and Wing Diver on hard.
For Wingdiver, do not sleep on the Pulsar Spear series of Back Pack items. These things are powerful.

Who watches the watchmen?So for EDF6, would it be safe to say Friendly Fandoms is in effect with Helldivers II? They're both multiplayer games involving soldiers fighting a Bug War, robots and aliens; being super patriotic; and having arsenals made for "spreading democracy"?

I've seen a few crossover memes (With Warhammer 40k and Starship Troopers thrown in at least once) but really I think EDF is such an ant compared to Helldivers in visibility (Pun intended) there's not as much as there should be.
World Brothers 2 is out!
It's awesome!
Riho Futaba is playable! When you select her she goes "This must be a dream... Please tell me I'm dreaming!"... Oh. I feel bad for using her now.
But honestly the game's freakin' awesome. Everything that was great about WB 1 with more content. I unlocked my 2 favorites from 1 (Safari Sister and Pharaoh Sister) in like the third mission so I've already lucked out on the Randomly Drops. Desire sensor must be broken.
You are not alone.

Do the bugs actually have weight this time?
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
