Helldivers 2 | Did Arrowhead Mess Up the Quasar Cannon or Am I Crazy?
Ойындар
Hey Helldivers! In this video, I delve into a potential bug with the Quasar Cannon Support Weapon in Helldivers 2. The latest patch notes mentioned an increase in the cooldown time on hot planets by 2.5 seconds, but I discovered something odd. After testing on different planet types, it seems the actual cooldown increase is 5 seconds on Extreme Heat planets!
*Testing Breakdown*:
🔹Fori Prime (Neutral Planet): Quasar Cannon cooldown is 15 seconds.
🔹Hellmire (Hot Planet - Extreme Heat): Quasar Cannon cooldown is 20 seconds (+5 seconds from the baseline).
🔹Estanu (Cold Planet - Extreme Cold): Quasar Cannon cooldown is 10 seconds (-5 seconds from the baseline).
Could this be a mistake in the patch notes, or is there something we missed? Watch as I time the cooldowns across different planets to uncover the truth.

Pretty sure the Meridian Black Hole is sucking out all the brain power of AH.
Messed it up when they nerfed it to 15 seconds bud.

The devs dont know how to make intended change in their own game or someone is intentionally sabotaging game patches.. prove me wrong.

I think it's sabotage. At this point, they should just stop, make content and let modders make unofficial patches. Their in-house work isn't cutting it.

The +/- 5 seconds is fine to me, with the dependency on planetary conditions. Conclusion, the patch notes are wrong. Current behavior basically unnerfs the QC on cold planets.

Yeah, I reckon so. But the unnerfed quasar feels so good lol. They need to just unnerf it properly
I seriously cant even play Helldivers right now even if I wanted to. It keeps crashing on drop in. When if I do drop in and start playing Im overwhelmed by crazy insane spawn rates. Team members immediately rage quit. The CEO this morning acknowledge that some players might be experiencing a different experience with the patch. You think?!

This patch has been super frustrating for me. For whatever reason, this patch broke mic support for linux users. I thought my headset died or I had some weird linux related problem and spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to get the microphone on my headset to work only to find out it was relatively common and due to the patch. Then I’ve been experiencing this thing, where I can play with my PS5 friends for about 2 matches, before the game kicks me and I can’t reconnect with them no matter how many times they invite me, or a restart the game, or reboot my computer. Per the spawn rates, it’s been ok at level 7 with my friends, but one of my first post-patch games, I joined a level 5 game with randoms. I joined a game in progress, and there was massive hordes of automatons on the ground, combined with 4-5 gunships in the air, which when I shot them down felt like they were quickly replaced. Not too long into the match, I get killed and can no longer get back to my support weapon through the hordes, which was the only weapon I had capable of taking down a gunship. The whole experience felt dramatically beyond a level 5 mission.

the crash yeah, thats a big issue, i’ve been getting that a few times. but the insane spawn rates, cry about it?? play lower difficulties if you cant handle the higher ones, some of us are having an absolute blast being swarmed and having last stands and just enjoying the game. stop whining you arent getting your points.
Ive noticed that pretty much all the rocket launchers including quasar does more damage if you are walking/diving forward it only takes 1 shot to strip armor on charger legs with this method probably a bug but normally it takes 2 standing still
@RyanW1019
Ай бұрын
Reddit figured it out-because damage falloff starts as soon as the projectile leaves the barrel, the Quasar Cannon only does something like 749.99 damage to Charger Behemoth legs, but that gets rounded down to 749 since all damage decimals round down in this game’s code. The legs on the Charger Behemoth have 750 health so it just barely isn’t a one-shot. If you walk or dive forward while firing, the projectile also gains the additional speed, which pushes the damage up over 750. Unfortunately the damage only seems to be calculated based on projectile speed at impact, not projectile speed relative to target at impact. So even if the Charger is running at you it doesn’t take any more damage.

Dam, thx for info, glad I'm not a Quasar Fan. I'm not the energy weapons kinda if helldiver. I love ballistic weapons and explosives.
If they could just revert it back to its original cool down then the weather modifiers would make a lot more sense in my opinion. It’s pve 🤷🏾♂️

Best to put a timer on screen for this kind of testing i think

Ай бұрын
I could, but it has a slight delay on OBS and you can use the mission clock as the in-game version. I prefer an external source under my direct control usually as it serves as a check for me.
Maybe the patch notes were suppose to say 5 secs, 2.5 secs isn't that much of a dif on a 15 sec cd
@RealAsianRobot
Ай бұрын
I disagree, 2.5 is HUGE in intense combat, the 5 seconds changes things very wildly. Tbh 20 second cooldown is impossible. I'd rather take a recoilless, Spear or EAT. All of which deal more damage than the Quasar anyway
Just tried myself on Hellmire. It's 20s - cooldown is messed up. Edit: Submitted bug report to AH, linking your video as evidence. Cheers.

I prefer to have an outside source from the PC, for more independent verification. It's why I will still apply an external device instead of using a stop watch applied to OBS lol.

It was meant to be 2.5 but instead we got 5.2... cause you know... dyslexia 😅
