Had a few games with Batty, Dunny and Live, was good fun, enjoyed it.

Completed a few missions, some level 10, 9 and 6 against the Cyborgs and Illuminate, since the buggies are gone(and at time of writing so are the illum) until the next war starts which shouldn't be more then a few days for the borgs to fall.

Made the borgs and illum more bearable, especially the illum where a council member wouldn't end the whole mission.
Definitely more busy at times but you could also notice that there are 3 other people around during targets as well, made captures and defends easier having the extra fire power.

Definitely a different playstyle to solo where you leg it most of the time with cardio on, more enjoyable as we didn't get bogged down on any objectives unlike on solo where some objective can be a back and forth for 10+ minutes.

Yeah, it's been good coming back to this and playing it a bit differently with less people. I hadn't played Helldivers since last year so I was expecting a lot of panic and stressful engagements in the higher level missions (from old 4 player days) but it's easier when being patient, paying more attention to killing the scouts and when to use particular strategems more effectively.

I've been using the cardio perk as well that Spec mentioned to run (away) faster rather than try to kill everything with our limited firepower. Feel like a turtle compared to Spec when I don't use it now, haha. The napalm strike works well too as a wall of fire to repel the normal-sized enemies but unfortunately the tanks usually just waltz through the blazing inferno .

We were failing that level 10 mission a few times due to enemy cyborg tanks dropping in often and making it difficult to capture an objective. Then Dunny joined mid-game and managed get away in his trusty mech to revive us and we actually completed all of the objectives and extract. Go Dunny!
