  • Solo Helldive, Max Difficulty Lvl 9, all objectives (Main + Optional) completed, all outposts destroyed, no deaths.
    Modifiers: Tremors
    Planet: Fori Prime
    Patch version: 1.000203
    Taking a break from the Automaton front for this one to test out my Tachanka build against some Terminids - while this started out as a meme / theme build, it ended up being a really fun and effective way to take on the bugs. This build involves a slightly different playstyle - while usually I alpha-strike objectives then follow it in with an assault, this build is all about setting up with the HMG emplacement and Autocannon Turret outside an objective, kicking the hornet's nest and killing everything that comes out, then pushing in when the spawns die down.
    Click here for the version without commentary: • Helldivers 2 // Tachan...
    __________
    Build:
    This build is centred on the HMG Emplacement - while Tachanka's OG deployable turret in R6 Siege was cool but impractical, the HMG Emplacement is anything but - with the armour penetration to take out any bug smaller than a Charger, the firerate and damage to tear through entire hordes, and a decent cooldown, this stratagem is highly underrated as a way to take on bug breaches head on. While it excels at defence objectives like Geological Survey missions, it can also be used to clear out an objective or nest before you move in. It also puts in the work vs Shrieker Nests, able to take them out whether you're out of range or in the thick of it with fliers overhead.
    Its weakness? Heavily armoured enemies like Bile Titans and Chargers, which is where the Autocannon Turret comes in. If you can keep the light and medium enemies off it with the HMG, it will keep those heavier targets off your back - just make sure to stun Chargers before they can charge you down.
    Using Stun nades previously meant sacrificing a Stratagem slot to take care of Bug Holes, but with the addition of the Eruptor and the Grenade Pistol, we've got that covered. I've gone with the Grenade Pistol for this run, acting like a single-shot grenade launcher for taking out bug holes from a decent distance, and keeping the Breaker for some up close burst damage. Alternatively, you can switch roles and pair the Eruptor with the Redeemer instead, which gives you a slightly better option for Charger kills (4 shots to the buttocks).
    While we're on the move or when the turrets are down, I'll be relying on the Stalwart to keep the hordes off my back. What this lacks in Anti-Tank ability, it makes up for in exceptional crowd clear, with a great firerate, huge magazine, and the ability to reload on the go that gives it the edge over the slightly more armour-penetrating MG against bugs.
    500kg rounds out the stratagems as my dedicated anti-Titan counter, though I might also use it against Chargers in emergencies.
    For armour, we’re going with the Fortified Commando heavy armour with its extra padding bonus that takes our armour all the way up to 200, making us very tanky - this means we don’t immediately have to bail when enemies reach the HMG emplacement, as we can simply pop a stim and keep firing away. While you do pay for that survivability in your speed and stamina, I'm taking the Stamina Booster which helps a little with the latter.

      If I am in a group, I always run Stalwart and Dominator. Dominator is used to crack medium armor and the swarms are Stalwart territory. It also allows me to cover teammates from high positions, then run like hell and reload to cover retreats.
      The only time I don't do Stalwart is if I am the Spearman.

      Adding onto this
      after sucessfully running difficulty 7 missions solo 100% for samples-
      the whole teamkill and engage everything everywhere + the clusterbombs to the areas we wanted / NEEDED to advance to really tilted me.
      (I play the game with friends mostly, where we can play for fun but thanks to his videos i carry most of the misssion objectives even there.)
      Yesterday i managed to pull of my first Helldiver difficulty 100% solo run with 20 common & rare samples + 6 super samples and it felt SSOOO satisfying.
      It was on the botfront though, objective command bunkers. I had one of my friends in discord, calling me out why i didn t had a shield bag lol. I d like to think all of that was only possible because of his videos.
      Some take it as entertainment, others as inspirations and what i like most, is that it can also be gameplay guides.

    I always like to see theme builds. My two buddies and I played a campaign where we rolled 1-3 to see which element each of us would take. Fire, Electricity, or Lasers and we built load outs around those results.
    I haven’t done it yet, but I think it would be fun to create a wheel to spin for each stratagem slot, weapon slot, or armor. So you could have a fully randomized load out.

    • @newspiked7385

      Re: the randomised loadouts, one of my viewers actually linked me to a cool app they made for randomising stratagems, though it doesn't have weapon etc. yet I think it's a pretty cool tool for random challenge runs: helldivers-randomizer.surge.sh/

    I've come to appreciate the Stalwart when run with the Eruptor. Eruptor vs bugs is incredible at one-shotting Bile Spewers and Brood Commanders, but with its slow fire rate and wide blast, hunters will give it trouble without another weapon to clear swarms.
    I love running turrets/mines in my missions, but for some reason, I never had it in me to run the HMG emplacement. I might have to try it out next time. Those shrieker nest helped give it a good demonstration, lol!

    • @newspiked7385
      @newspiked7385  Před 2 měsíci +4

      Yeah, they're a really nice pair, definitely a more complimentary match than what I ran with but I had to stick to the theme, ha.
      Like with turrets, the emplacement takes some adjusting to, if you don't place it well and you get swarmed quickly, it feels like a wasted slot, but if you can actually keep them alive they're amazing. Turrets + Emplacement go really well together IMO.

    Patrols don't (necessarily) spawn in outposts. Instead, they spawn in the direction of an outpost, about 90-140 meters distant from you, oriented towards somewhere near you. So it appears as though they had come from the outpost, but they don't have to walk across the entire map. Though extraction zones at the edge of the map are the simplest version of no-enemy extractions, there are also other possibilites. If the extraction is on a waterfront, the outposts are across the water and the valid spawnzones are all in the water, no patrols will spawn.
    It also means that after destroying every outpost, it should be safe to run around the edge of the map (notwithstanding static spawns and drops/breaches, of course).

    • @newspiked7385
      @newspiked7385  Před 2 měsíci +1

    Hey man great run! I learned a lot! First time seeing you. Which booster did you use? Localization confusion?
    While the stalwart is great, what are your thoughts on using a laser guard dog instead? That basically does the work for you.
    Heck, replace HMG turret with a laser guard dog and use that with the stalwart. But maybe your loadout is best for solo, since in a squad someone usually brings EATs or quasar to take out those shrieker nests.
    What are your thoughts on the breaker incendiary vs standard breaker?
    Which other primary do you recommend against bugs? Scorcher? Slugger? The breaker was always my go-to weapon before I unlocked the slugger, and then the scorcher.
    How did you throw the SEAF missiles?

      Thanks for watching! Full build's in the description, I was running Stamina Booster to help with the lower stamina on Heavy Armour.
      The Rover is cool, but I prefer the direct fire of the Stalwart on this build. Definitely a strong choice for bugs, yeah.
      I wouldn't replace the HMG with it tho, while you could argue the Stalwart does the same as the primary + rover, the HMG covers more roles like Shrieker nest destruction and taking bug breaches head on.
      Breaker and the Incendiary version are both good, the Incendiary is better for trash mobs, standard does better for Medium enemies imo. Breaker Spray and Pray is underrated too, I gotta do a vid with that soon, amazing for hunter swarms.
      For other bug primaries, I'm a big fan of the Punisher, one shots the little things, easy to keep topped up with the individual reload, and can stunlock Stalkers and interrupt bug breach calls. Scorcher I don't like so much because of the chance of friendly fire if a hunter jumps in your face, it's great for bots tho.
      You can throw the SEAF shells by moving ahead of the shell, picking it up then switching to your gun to let go before it reaches your hands, that'll fling the shell forwards.

    I’ll admit I do wish shrieker nests spawned a small handful (~5) shriekers when you destroyed a tree from outside their normal aggro range. completely negating them with the tried and true “I stand here and shoot you from across the map” is effective but I do wish you had to actually interact/deal with the enemy itself, even if a ‘revenge attack’ of ~5 per tree wouldn’t actually be threatening.
    Though I think the nest Should probably still only spawn its ‘revenge attack’ if destroyed from outside its aggro range.

      Yeah, I think they saw how trivial players were making shrieker nests and thought "nah let's make them plant a hellbomb for the gunship factories". Flipside is if you do alert the shrieker nests, the spawnrate is much more oppressive. A revenge spawn would be neat tho, yeah.

    Hey Spiked, do you think the Eruptor is the META primary right now (when considering that you can reload cancel)? I have enough for one warbond however I don't know whether to go Jar-5 dominator or eruptor.

    • @newspiked7385
      @newspiked7385  Před 2 měsíci +2

      Not at all, depends completely on your choice of support weapon IMO. If you're using one of the AT specialists like Eats, Quasar, RR, Spear etc., you're going to have to rely on your primary for the vast majority of enemies, and I think the slower firerate and AOE FF make it awkward to use for personal protection. Whereas the Eruptor pairs really well with stuff like MGs, AMR, and other all purpose Support weapons that you can use for trash and tougher enemies alike. My two cents anyway!

    For audio, I think the commentary should be noticeable louder than the game sounds or the game sounds just very toned down.
    If you recorded the commentary during gameplay, in software like Audacity you can try and soften the game sounds through sampling, really simple stuff.
    Just some advice for future videos, loving them so far.

      Standard Breaker has better burst damage, but smaller mag. So better for quickly taking down tougher enemies, not as good for trash mobs. Spray and Pray is similar to the Incendiary, but slightly faster with no risk of incendiary FF, but less damage. Both of those two are great for little guys like hunter swarms.

    • @newspiked7385
      @newspiked7385  Před 2 měsíci +2

      For the SEAF shells, it's not too difficult:
      1) walk a little ahead of the shell in the direction you want to throw it
      2) pick up the shell, then before it reaches your hands, quickly let go of the shell by switching to your gun
      3) the shell will keep its momentum and be thrown forwards
      For the explosive barrels it's a little trickier as you can't walk over them easily like the SEAF ones, but you can still pick it up when your character is slightly ahead of them.

    I do love MGs, though I do wish AH would buff them a bit more, it's so weird something so clunky-looking like Quasar/LasrCannon have such good handling, but not MGs, still though, I've been able to SOLO Helldive bugs a couple of times with the MG-206 as well, especially now that we have grenade pistol for some side objectives.
    MG-206 is nice for bursting down Charger's butt with stun grenades (exactly 25 bullets, tho I wish they kept the 1200RPM mode), killing Bile Spewers/Commanders/Hive Guards, handling Shrieker's nest from a distance and finishing off Bile Titans occasionally (with the ability t penetrate through the underbelly). I do hope eventually they'll give HMG at least a damage boost like AMR though, it'd be so nice for Chargers.
    MG-206 is quite finnicky right now, especially with the sight misallignment, but I've managed to make it work (with the help of a crosshair program :9). I pair it with a good horde-clearing primary, like Defender/Sickle and Breakers, sometimes Blitzer (amazing horde-clear but slow) and it's pretty rounded out. Plus, 500kg and airstrike and all that. I hope you'll give it a try, I can only do so much in solo with my low-performance PC, would really like to see how you can perform with MG-206, it's my favorite support weapon right now (despite some flaws).

    • @newspiked7385
      @newspiked7385  Před 2 měsíci

      Yeah, I remember trying the HMG vs bugs when it first came out and loving it for Charger kills, but felt I was missing that general trash clear, the slow (and frequent) reload makes it tricky for solo too. I'll give it another shot sometime tho, maybe in coop!

    • @sivel7493
      @sivel7493 Před 2 měsíci

      @@newspiked7385 yeah I definitely don't use it for trash clear, though it can SOMEWHAT do so here and if needs must, mostly for bigger chaffs (if only they fixed the sight misallignment already), I usually just save the bullets to kill Hive Guards/Commanders and Bile Spewers really quickly, like how you'd play the AMR for bugs. I really do wish it can one-tap Hunters consistently though, if it does, it'd be amazing for semi horde-clear here and there.
      As for the reload, same with the MG-43, I make use of the staged reload+crouch/melee cancel mechanic to reload on the move, it doesnt elimiate the hindrance, but it does help alot, especially once ur able to kill all hunters. And obviously stun grenades+shield BP help mitigate the risks.

      @@crixis887 It's not the difficulty level. Each map has its own preferences of enemies. Some maps have loads of hunters OR chargers OR titans (though they will typically still show up in at least a small number). For bile spewers and nursing spewers, the map's either filled with them or there are none at all. It's likely that they're also more / less likely to be on a planet if it's cold / hot. And I've heard that bile spewers only show up in 20% of maps, though this isn't accurate in my experience. Maybe nursing spewers also show up in a separate 20%, so it feels more like some sort of spewer in general shows up roughly half the time.
