As soon as the old mag is out, even if you havent thrown it away yet, the weapon is now "emlty" unless you hsve a round in the chamber. As soon as the new mag is in, the weapon is "reloaded", but needs to be charged if run fully dry. Some weapons need to be charged on a new mag even if you had a round in the chamber.

As a former US Army armorer, I think I know what happened to the M240. The M240 has a compound drive spring. Multiple springs coiled up into a single spring. The tension of this spring is part of what regulates the fire rate, infantry configurations of the m240 have a lower max rate of fire than vehicle configurations and especially multi-mount configurations like in an anti-air battery. If the story hadn't ended with "and then the guide rod snapped" I would have assumed that his gun had got a vehicle or aircraft drive spring installed on a refit. Since the drive rod snapped, what I think happened is that one of the component springs of the compound drive spring failed, causing rhe coil to provide less resistance, causing the gun to briefly fire faster before the mechanical failure.

Upvote this list of takeaways and feel free to add to it, hopefully this helps some other players. 1. Bugs can see and hear, but some variants like the Stalker can "smell" you and will find you no matter what 2. Orbital Gas Strikes have a large area of effect and can be used to destroy eggs 3. They would like to add a first person drop in view for the hellpod 4. If bots scramble your strategem you can check the left hand of the screen to see what you are going to throw 5. You can toss grenades back at bots 6. The "hearing" mechanic used in the game makes sprinting much louder to the enemies as opposed to crawling or crouching 7. Explosions and gunfire attract enemies 8. If you break line of sight of bots for 4 seconds they will start to search in the area you were last seen. Great way to displace and break contact using smoke or spores

The weapon was put reassembled without paying attention to the gas regulator from the sound of it. More maybe Swedes love their blicka going fast.

The last biggest one was lf4 and the other games you mentioned barely scratched 50k, not to downplay those games since they're great but nowhere near what HD2 achieved, DGS is amazing and has a relatively big player base still of 30k while games like darktide and vermintide barely maintain 5k at least that's what steamchart show so in a way the guy is right, its been awhile since a genre like this blew up.@@LoganChristianson

​@@LoganChristiansonyep. If you compare all of more or less good co-op horde shooters with shitload of copy/past survival games (80% of which will not leave early access) or time periods of MOBA hype, online TCG hype, battle royale hype, vampire survivors hype etc. it turns out that the coop hodre shooters genre is very niche and unpopular. Until Helldivers 2. And i geniunly believe, that after HD2 more companies will make ther own version. God, even deep rock galactic (which I think is a brilliant game), less popular than survivors version.of this game.

Got this game about a day ago or so and have to say it is a great game! Glad to see how the creators of this game are passionate enough to make something they enjoy themselves and are proud of

This is amazing. Listening to the devs having so much fun, laughing maniacally at failures and giving some really cool info on some of the behind the scenes stuff is excellent. Love it.

This is honestly one of the most wholesome honest gaming marketing strategems out! These guys and Larian Studios are hands down the best gaming CEOs at the moment

It seems like they playtested the crap out of this game likely because it was constant fun

We had too in our service the FN Mag [m240] that had that option. The MAG fires fully automatic only and the 3 position gas selector allows for a rate of fire between 650 and 1.000 rounds per minute.

Game devs that are actually involved in their game and enjoy their own work. They've got the true heart of a gamer, as it should be. Thanks for sharing.

Whichever dev said all automaton infantry can call in dropships was correct. The nuance to it is that the single sword guy will always be the first bot to attempt to fire a flare. After he dies, another will attempt to fire a flare. This will keep happening until either all the infantry bots are dead or one of them gets the flare off.

Even the chief of commander of super earth is fighting for our own democracy, SO WHY DONT YOU NOW!? SIGN UP FOR LIBERTY AND FREEDOM!!

I'm fairly certain that i've stumbled across several devs in these random lobbies. I just get a feeling as I watch them play. This game is incredible.

I just love this game, the community, and after years, pretty much since gta online became boring, this is finally a game where i hop on again as soon as im home from work. So much fun! Seeing the CEO playing it too, thats a really good sign!

When one of the devs said he played yesterday a few games just to see how the community was enjoying the game. Spoke volumes as to why this game is successful.

Helldiver 1 was my first game on the ps4 and it will always have a special place in my heart, it was so cool to see one of my favorite games blow up this hard and I couldn’t be more happy for the devs and for democracy of course

Great insight man thanks for video

13:50 “the community will change names to things” Indeed. I never called Hunters “Hunters”, I’ve always called them Flankers because they have the game mechanic to flank around you while you focus on one of them in a group. It’s a great mechanic that adds an extra layer of detail and challenges.

Man, as a Swede I’m constantly baffled of how many great games that’s been made by Swedish developer studios! Sweden might be a large country, but we’re not densely populated with about 10 million citizens! This studio comes from the Northern city of Luleå, which has a great technical college and university. They later moved down to the Swedish capital, Stockholm.

Yea with how vocal he is even in his personal social page, game discord, or community. And in contrast to indie game that does it occasionally for marketing, being a CEO w/ how busy managing the studio is, that means a lot when Johan Pilestedt (CEO) literally took his own time instead of sending someone. that some transparency and trust to the game.

I love the comradery in Helldivers, people online definitely helped me get started(every sample I've ever collected has been looted off my corpse though)

A very small detail that I have yet to see in other "games that I played by the way." Bullet casings will pile up on the ground instead of disappearing through the ground like magic. I really appreciate that level of detail when I'm swimming around the bullet casings from my own gun after shooting off and killing a patrol.

I wish the bugs had more time between calling for a breach, and one responding. By the time you see the orange smoke, it's too late to stop it, whereas with the bots, you can see the flare light up before it's shot up and can still stop it.

Arrowhead deserves all its success going forward, it's so refreshing to see a CEO and dev team be so passionate about their game. I've had nothing short of an awesome time with Helldivers 2 and I can't wait to see where the game goes next.

I love this video so much because it shows that these devs are people that actually, very clearly, care about their community and I love it so much because you almost never see this. We need more companies to be this involved, but sadly I don't think its ever going to happen outside of these last few game releases (Ex. Helldivers 2 and Baldurs Gate being the first 2 to come to mind)

I hope the devs read the comments on this video. I want them to know that this is hands down the best game I've played in years. Every part of it is amazing. The graphics, the gameplay, the lore, the aesthetic, progression, and especially the music is absolutely top notch. Thank you so much for making a great game.

Lol. I love CEOs like that. Am a developer for a space game that recently came out and i normally play it with the community and sometimes the boss joins randomly, adds random stuff and it makes the game real fun.

Seeing the devs that made this game laugh like children and actually enjoying a game they created shows exactly why this game is so loved. They made a game that they would enjoy and have fun playing. Love these creators, keep up the good work!

They really did do a good job with stuff like that, and the stealth mechanic being based on sound is pretty cool. I do have an idea (if he sees this). Build in the Muscle augment into the Heavy armor to help compensate for the lack of speed and stamina. It may help convince more people to give it a chance.

This is awesome, I just got my cast off my arm so i can start playing in about a week. Can't Wait. Keep Diving.

As a Marine Corps veteran I can tell you that they have excellent weapon knowledge, however as a M240B operator they had their gas regulator set to 3 most likely. Just how you mentioned in the video, I noticed after a few sessions that one of the developers had to have been in the military, given the way the game works. I also love how down to earth the guys were during the session. Thanks for the great video!

I love the dynamic chaos that happens in this game. The moment at 30:11 had me rolling when the dropship flew up and got shot down and then exploded next to the base which caused it to blow up as well. It's awesome how crazy things can get.

I like the "WOOO" when they just dodge something or like barely make it to extract like at the end of the video. Really shows that they know what they are making and can enjoy it just like everyone else.
