In other shooters when you see a white X by your weapons reticle it means you’re damaging the enemy and when it turns red you killed them
BUT HELLDIVERS 2 ISN’T LIKE OTHER SHOOTERS, YOU MAGGOT!
In Helldivers 2 there are 3 types of hit marker: the white x means you only have PARTIAL ARMOR PENETRATION so you’re only doing about 50% DAMAGE!
The Red X means you’re dealing the maximum amount of damage to your target, but it DOESN’T MEAN YOU KILLED THEM SO KEEP SHOOTING, YOU IDIOT!
The Shield Ricochet icon means your current weapon doesn’t have enough armor penetration, or you’re shooting the enemy at an angle so the bullet is bouncing off. YOU GOTTA SHOOT STRAIGHT, YOU DUMMY!
BUT not every weapon will give you hit markers, most of your primary and secondary weapons will but most of the support weapons will not! #helldivers2 #videogames #gaming #ps5 #pcgaming
