Video

I remember watching this video when I was a noob. Now I’m lvl 80 and have 270 hours lol

LISTEN UP MAGGOTS! If you think the Gear you have on you is going to make you the best diver super earth has ever seen YOU. ARE. WRONG! a true helldiver needs to have faith in their skills and confidence in their squad mates! The gun does not make the Soldier! Am i Clear!

Ya they need to nerf the bike titans. It’s not fun using all your rockets to kill 1

This game should be game of the year

or 2 rockets witht the other mech

by definition it is not "pay to win" if they give the player the ability to unlock the other war bonds by grinding.

eagle air strike💥

I wish more people would realize that the point of the game isn't to kill every bug you see (except in missions where you have to). Its so frustrating when you mark a patrol and expect your teamates to be smart enough to realize that its a warning to avoid but then some genius decides hes going to fire at them and get you stuck fighting off a massive horde.

it's not automaton meta bug meta

How damage works in Helldivers 2: Shoot enemies until they die. Some weapons work better than others. Experiment. Have fun.

FYI: have a partner w a quasar ride on top and hit the bile titan in the head. Then it only taken a few shots to finish it off. Also: No wonder balancing weapons is a nightmare. Seems overly complex or maybe that’s industry norms idk I’m not a developer.

Bro and the head is supposed to be a weakpoint what the fuck

Would me more fun with AT mines if those airburst meat rider actually know how good the old AT mine was in HD1

On controller the stratagems are the d pad so it’s not an issue to type in commands while running

Can you explain how flamethrower damage works? I honestly have no idea how it interacts with armor. Does it penetrate? Does it weaken armor over time? Does it do nothing? What about when a bile has openings in its armor from damage? How does that effect things?

Next do a theory how HD2 could lead to wh40k

eagle airstrike

One nice combo against Factory Striders is Eagle Airstrike and Orbital Precision Strike. You can drop both almost simultaneously for a pretty consistent kill (it's more reliable if the strider is perpendicular to you). I usually add a barrage and a support weapon to round things out.

The only people I ever see complaining about weapons is the people who play entirely way Too Much and now Everything has to be one shot kills so they can just Run through The Game they Don't play Anymore I've sat in with a couple of groups just as soon as they land they just start Running objective objective And they take the fun out of it and I'm telling those people go play a different game or stop playing video games you're getting entirely too good at them.

I know what I’m doing for Fourth of July

Happy Independance Day 😂

Atlas cannon on the face kills a strider one shot. Love the Atlas cannon.

With the orbital precision strike, i've managed to do a one shot by placing the beacon right under it's main body. Granted, we took down both turret prior to that, the big one being destroyed by a spear shot. I don't know to what extent the spear explosion could have damaged the main body though.

Amr

Not even an Honourable metion for Railgun? Wow. How the mighty have fallen.

Wait a minute. Since when did Daniel Radcliffe change his accent and start helldiving out here?

nice vid bro, thx for sharing

If you throw the eagle airstrike perpendicular to it, so more rounds hit (with the final upgrade of an extra shell) you can totally 1 shot the factory striders

I use eagle airstrike for wiping patrols and fabs. And I pair it with orbital precision strike for the more robust structures and to cover during rearm. Being able to take out towers and optional objectives along with having a short cooldown. And Eagle airstrike followed by a stun grenade can hold a bot drop in place for the eagle to wipe them. I tend to run eagle airstrike, precision strike, supply pack, amr, stun grenade, grenade pistol (for utility when facing jammers). With a primary that can take scout striders out from the front. It basically covers every contingency you'll face against automatons and has the endurance to last a whole match without hitting a resupply.

Very based testing Myelin. Absolutely cash hot.

i like fighting on a full stomach, that’s why I always bring my EATs

Airburst stratagem is actually really good against automaton - even the strongest ones, as it can pen heat sinks. and the reload time is decent as well

Gas strike destroys building.

Love your videos and the laidback, yet thought out and logical way you break down your thoughts and opinions on the game, I’m abroad right now but watching this for some info once I’m back available to helldive, so thanks for the great video!

Standard loadout for me: Carl G., Eagle Airstrike, Orbital Precision, and either EMS sentry or the 500kg depending on whether I want more crowd control for my primary and Carl to put in more work, or more boom to just blast through everything ASAP. I gotta remember to bring the 380mm barrage more often for the Search and Destroy missions... and Command Bunkers always get the Orbital Laser. The Eagle Airstrike is too good of an all-around tool to ever leave her in the hanger, and then the Orbital Precision Strike is usually my complementary pick. The Eagle handles add-clearing, heavies, and fabricators; the OPS trivializes the otherwise horrifying detector towers and comes off cooldown often enough that you can use it for relatively casual stuff like Rogue Research Stations or adding DPS against heavies... And combined they make short work of anything less than an entire heavy base.

I love the incendiary mines

At least its not complicated

You can actually kill a hulk by breaking both legs, though. They fold under their own weight and die instantly. Try it out with an autocannon or laser cannon.

OMG that's awful! thats like all your ammo for 1 titan

Backpack is seriously overrated since it has the opportunity cost of another offensive stratagem which the effectiveness of said backpack is seldomly comparable.

This is just an off observation from your video, but that Heavy Devistator taking you out in .3 seconds with two sequential headshots at 5:55 is the most unbalanced element of this games enemy design IMO. Enemies ability to land crits so frequently makes it effectively impossible to account for it when caught off gaurd or from off-screen like you were here, or to counter/prevent it in any way exepy ducking your head and facing away when not near cover. I love most of the funny chaotic elements in this game like planetary hazards and ragdolls, but crits are a bit too much harder to consistently avoid than those. I would love for Arrowhead to give us higher difficulty levels like 10-15 or so with more enemies and more dangerous enemy types one day, but the randomness and inconsistencies in leathality we have now would just make that more of a frustrating mess than a clear set of obstacles to overcome (the good kind of challenge/difficulty).

Eagle + precision strike is a pretty consistent combo to take a strider down. Separate cooldowns too.

my bot load is: heavy armor, Defender, Stunnades, Granade Pistol 380mm. heavy spawns clear Cluster/OLaser. fabric and patrol clear HMG/LCanon. to deal with stuff alone BShield. to pair with the SMG Im using this for months and having a lot of fun with it. the shield only breaks after a couple explosives hit it and Ive clutch a lot of games just standing behind it and dealing with enemies one by one

Rocket pods are worth bringing simply because they trivialize tanks. Plus they can take down structures.

Not afraid of anything with my AC-8 Autocannon over my shoulder.

Anyone else feel like the bots have received some serious upgrades? They’ve got heat seeking missiles and rapid fire machine guns now lol

Fun fact, the eagle airstrike can 1 shot a factory strider full health. You have to line it up sideways and it has to be relatively in the center of the strider width wise. It works perfectly so you don't have to waste a 500kg or a laser just to kill 1 big enemy

Where’s the white phosphorus and thermite in it? (Rather take multiple effects rather than 25 more fire damage)

Started playing a month ago lvl 27. Orbital Lazer as a standalone is BY FAR THE BEST Stratagem in the game, it’s not even close. 3 Charges balances it just right.
