- This Helldivers build is really easy to use. With a little bit of practice you can actually solo level 9 difficulty in helldivers with very little skill required. In this video, I did NOT full clear to keep it shorter than 40 minutes, but its absolutely do-able to full clear missions using this loadout.

500 kg eagle, airstrike eagle, grenade launcher, shield generator/jetpack, stamina enhancement/hellpod space optimization
Very cool. Good to see an entire walk through
I'm using this load out and my game play is so much better. Thanks ^^
Good to hear!
This was so helpful already improved my gameplay I'm still not great and need to u lock the shield pack but still very helpful thank you.
I myself am loving the new stun grenades. Stun a group with a couple and call in the 500kg
Wait til you get the EMS mortars 😂
thanks mate good stuff
nice run.
I use a very similar loadout, but with +2 grenades. My biggest debate is using impact grenades, vs stun grenades.
impacts are perfect against bile spewers, popping packed trash mobs, and are often used in those panic times when the g-launcher and primary is running low, or being reserved for objectives, and something needs to explode immediately.
On the flip side, stun grenades are extra insurance to help capitalize on precious hellbombs and eagle strikes against chargers/titans (especially on missions with increased call-in times) . Even if you can't kill a charger, being able to pause it and nearby bugs for 3-4 seconds is often enough to regain stamina and create some breathing room until your eagles come back.
The main downside with stun is you will are leaning on your g-launcher much more and its ammo economy is already terrible. It can be managed, but your game will revolve around properly timing/managing supply drops.
Nice vid. IMO Servo-assisted is very overlooked and Vitality booster is a must for me. If I run out of grenades for holes I just use my EAT, can take out 3 holes and short CD. Also I prefer the scorcher/slugger ovrr breaker
For the Hive! For the Queen!
I run 2 different builds for high difficulty solo bugs
Disposable Rockets, Grenade Launcher, Ammo Pack, Gattling Sentry/Stun Mortar, and Hellpod Optimization/Stamina
or
Disposable Rockets, Arc Thrower, Jetpack, Gatling Sentry/Stun Mortar, and Hellpod Optimization/Stamina
I use the pump shotgun and the same armor as you. I find the Dispo rockets to be essential for dealing with bad RNG, as you can two-shot Bile Titans, and destroy Shrieker nests from miles away as you do other stuff.
The Arc Thrower is amazing at keeping crowds down, is perfect for dealing with Shriekers if necessary, and can even finish off Titans and Chargers if I miss the instakill rocket.
The ammo pack is really nice because it lets you tank absolutely loads of damage, and kite hordes for ages before you're even remotely in danger, plus it lets you just absolutely spam grenades. The jetpack helps you get away from basically everything though, and is great for getting the perfect distance to arc. I don't find much use for the shield backpack against bugs, it's only really good for saving yourself from mistakes (which the jetpack does aswell), and letting you bomb things up close (I don't run many big bombs). I prefer the mobility or nearly infinite ammo.
The Gatling Sentry is a great mob clearer for when things get overwhelming, and is guaranteed to take a Bile Titan's attention away from you, including most of any horde. The Stun Mortar is best used pre-emptively, it lets you take out a crucial area before any bugs can cause a bug breach.
Overall though I play a bit more aggressively, and try to clear out minor areas of interest for the credits and samples, and my builds make that a bit clear.
When you were clicking around the mini map at the start, was that because if you click on an invisible poi does it show up and mark it?
Yes, exactly!
that was awesome. good job
Thank you! Cheers!
Beauty of the game. Play how you want to play, win how you want to win
yeah i remember playing the game for a week then decided to play on suicide alone i played using stealth making the game have a totally different feel i had a ton of fun more than one way to enjoy the game
Thats completely untrue.
Even in a team, using many of the weapons and Strategems will cost many lives of you and teammates.
Also, deciding to not use comms hurts alot too.
@@ADMTyRenn I don’t disagree with your point for the instance of playing in a team. I was writing to the context of the video of solo play. The reality is that people are going to do whatever they want bc that’s what happens right now.
A variation I'd suggest on this build is, medic light armor, swap shield for rover (clears out the hunters/clutter bugs), swap scorcher for breaker (better all around weapon, whereas breaker is an emergency weapon with poor economy when everything must die now), and use stun grenades to round out the kit.
Could also use sickle... which I haven't tried with this build yet but would probably do well if you just can't let go of the shield, as its better at wiping out small adds, leaning on GL for mediums.
Rover is a great alternative. The shield reduces the skill floor and allows you to make more mistakes however which was the point of this to me - to make fr easiest, low skill friendly build possible
When this was recorded, the stun grenades and sickle were not out yet. I definitely recommend stun grenades, sickle and breaker both perform dif things well but for this build where it's about pace I tend to favor the breaker.
Really good suggestions and insight though!
Very good 👍 thx
Amazing people have this game maxed out already.
your nade launcher strat call speed is crazy. haha
I run this loadout exclusively on like 75% of the mission types haha. You start to memorize the stratagems
@@HighwayW its such a smooth motion too. i run the same except float the airstrike. sniping with the grenade launcher is so good. this vid helped me unlock level 9 :D
@@HighwayW I use a controller with PC, and I can move while typing in strats, so never realized you wouldn't be able to on keyboard. I had settled on almost this identical loadout but I use mostly Orbital Laser and Orbital Railcannon Strikes. I'm running much lower difficulty than you, but still I'd be scared that three call downs just wouldn't be enough! I'm much slower typing in codes and not as good at evasion as you are though lol.
@@bohemian_demonnice pfp
Never thought about using macros for stratagems cuz the way they designed it is quite immersive and fun.
It feels badass to enter some code and call in a 500kg big boom
I agree. I feel like it's a mechanic of the game I genuinely enjoy and don't want to change at all. I even keep the keys bound to WASD so I have to be quick (if you bind them to something else, you can actually move while typing stratagems in)
@@HighwayW Lol keeping them WASD is such a hardcore idea on higher difficulties
Respect
I'm very fast with WSAD stratagems as well, I don't like using the arrow keys as that forces my hand off the mouse which can result in my death since I'm not use to calling in anything that way.@@HighwayW
@@HighwayW Change the config file and add another button to bring up the stratagem menu and run at the same time. Then you can keep WASD.
Man, what a great run. Well done.
Thank you!
id love to see a single youtuber do a team synergy build
I am not level to unlock the shield pack yet but i went on and tried the loadout other wise. For reference - Im use to running guard dog and stalwark. So switching to grenade launcher and no guard dog is a change. I had already discovered that the big puke bugs are weak to grenades so the grenade launcher just helps there already. I was already successful without the shield pack (um on medium difficulty though) so i cant wait to try harder difficulty once i get the shield pack
Personally, i am a colossal fan of stun grenades. Not only do they allow you to perfectly land stratagems, but they even stun bile titans.
Whenever I try to extract there are sometimes so many bugs that it seems near impossible.
If you have not unlocked the shield yet what would you take instead
I would shoot for either the jump pack or the orbital laser.
Laser can be a good stratagem to fall back on if you have issues kiting the bile titans/get overwhelmed in the objectives, jump pack makes you a lot faster and let's you get around easier
Parkour is consistent if you use the muscle enhancement booster 👍🏽
Really appreciate this video. Game actually was really frustrating with randoms. Sucks having an 11/10 game that you somehow dont enjoy for one reason or another.
I use my Randoms as bug distractors. Simply wait for them to get the bug breach on them (only one can go on at a time) and then push the objectives while you are being ignored by them
@@HighwayW ah sick strat lol
Most of my games with randoms have been great, most people know what they are doing.
Sure sometimes they shoot every patrol, but with a group it's easy enough to stand and clear every patrol and breach.
The game is definitely much easier with a group (even randoms) so I'd say the problem is more with you than them. Just kill more bugs when you're with randoms.
Could be your on low difficulty with bad players but almost every group I've had on 7+ has been competent.
I've never really had a group to play with. I've always play with randoms and I would say more than 50% of the time by now. Most know what they're doing. It feels so good when everyone is synced up and know exactly what to do, almost too easy at times.
@@HighwayW What are you settings for game play and graphics
Honest question: I thought that doing higher difficulty means more rewards (more samples) but every video I see of people doing dif 9 they just rush main objective and run away without picking any samples. Can you explain to me why?
probably already got most of the upgrades they want
How did he call in Eagle at 5:15 so fast? It didn't look like he needed to enter multiple keys. It was like 1-click
stratagem keys? on arrows?
one of the most calm diff 9 game haha, most diff 9 doesn't isn't as calm as this
Liked for the tip of pinging discovering shit on the map
This looked like a Level 2 game :-/ It's not the experience I get, somehow.
Just today, everywhere patrols and POIs with bugs, very difficult to navigate through without detection. Trying to kite and decimate on the go, but ultimately just too much to manage. In addition to that, brutal effects, like ionic storms.
What I think I saw a lot in your video was good situational awareness, being quick with strategemes and very good shooting. That might prevent the horde to grow to big.
Something else, I think I observed was, that if a pat hits an "old" strategem, like a gattling or a mine field, they get "told" where I am, as they turn around and run straight at me. I read this somewhere and I think I observed it a couple of times.
I'm currently a bit lost and demotivated, and I don't have a good idea, what I could change. Whenever I see people player Level 9, I see very different games. Less chaotic and overrun, like when I play Level 5 for example.
The trick is when you get a big horde coming, you have to just avoid objectives to lose them sometimes. They'll despawn if you go from one objective to another and just circle back later in the match. Avoid gatlings and mine fields and in general stratagems that stick around and instead use stuff like in the loadout that has a lot of versatility and is mostly connected to you specifically. Reduces randomness in the game in general.
You'll note the only bugs I tend to shoot are hunters because those are the ones that will keep up with you. Everything else can be lost fairly easily.
I will likely do another couple of solo runs since there's some skepticism from a few commenters that the run was just lucky rng, and some criticism for me not full clearing it.
If there's anything I can do to help more definitely let me know, I will help however I can! Even if you just send me in a video of you solo running and let me give you some pointers based on that. Good luck out there, diver.
@@HighwayWthanks for taking the type to reply! Really helpful info 😊
@@christinaobregon4Thanks for taking the time to comment!
People really don’t know that running away is the only way to survive level 9 you can come back to it later
I actually have a Loadout I've been using that let's me fight and beat back bug breaches consistently.
Sadly I'm struggling to make a video on it because the new update makes it so I crash before I can finish a mission 🙃
How much democracy per second can you deal with this loadout?
About 350 freedom points
I thought it was a pretty smooth run, but I gotta ask, why do you prioritize extraction when you only get 50R and 20xp out of it, rather than knocking out the remaining optional objectives and clearing the nests? Only real reason to extract beyond those small amounts of R and XP is to keep samples which you weren't grabbing anyway.
I think the focus should be wiping out the primary objective, then secondary and clearing nests, and maybe extracting if you actually care about samples, otherwise you could die x5 to save time.
Obviously extraction is preferable to death, but finishing all the objectives is worth far more than a single surviving diver.
To be completely honest, I wanted to not have the video be 40 minutes because it affects things on the backend with CZcams
I still had half the time bank and reinforces left so I could easily have gone for a full clear however. All the same concepts apply
I know right? At level 50, you still need the XP and Requesition credits to buy... uh... to max uh... You just need them for bragging rights.
He's already level 50.
The exp becomes meaningless once you hit level 30-50 and have everything unlocked. At that point you want samples more than exp.
Plus extracting is fun and it feels like a fail if youre not good enough to do it.
Curious why you take 2 eagle strats since itll cause your eagle to have to rearm more often.
Legit 👍🏽 thanks for spreading that democratic justice and giving us new strategies o7
Are you using a macro for your stratagems or have you just played so much that it's that fast?
Macros are Treason.
@@HighwayW Agreed. Making sure you're a democratic helldiver.
what a great gameplay. youre making it look too easy. meanwhile our team gets into foggy planet with trees everywhere, no gps enemy indicators and longer stratagem time with 2 mushrooms and 2 flyer nests. worst experience ive had so far. every second you see 10+ big enemies from each direction.
She hell on my dive until I spread democracy
wat
most people farm sample. on suicide mission because its easiest to get the 3 super samples.
Now i know why i hate playing with people. I play kinda like y9u. Objective focus. People just atand there by everything and fights...and waste time, ressources and respawn.
For the future if you just go off on your own while your teammates fight things nonstop, they'll pull all the spawns off of you and make it even easier to do the objectives!
I have a similar play style as well, and solo most of the time unless on coms with friends. If with randoms I do objectives while them keep the agro. It also seems like spawn rates depend on how many people are in a curtain area of the map, and not in match.
If youre so good and hate people so much, what's stopping you from running off and doing the objectives solo like he just did?
Your group will act as a distraction and pull bugs and patrols off of you.
Unless you're bad and just blaming others for being bad?
Crazy how many sample he doesn't pick up but he is also max level lol
I'm maxed on everything. I'm gonna make another video doing a full clear with this build this week with sample collection to answer all the criticism
breaker better then sickle?
In my opinion for this playstyle yes. It's good to be able to quickly one shot hunters as they get close to create distance.
In general, I like the sickle more. I have a Loadout with it coming as soon as I'm done crashing this week
@@HighwayW I'd probably just run sickle and the anti-tank missile launcher. Instead of breaker and grenade launcher
I would also suggest running light scout armor. Having more stamina , speed, and less detection will make it much easier
Honestly, true!
I have gotten hung up on how my character looks far too hard, I like the armor I wear aesthetically 🤣
for normal non tryhard player jusy play solo on medium maybe challeging if you felling hating yourself
Ammo is at EVERY optional obj. And at interest points.
Randoms need to spot solo using Supply drops.
What a lucky rng run. Every run I had, at least 3 chargers at each egg spot, at least 2 bile titans.
Titans are pretty easy to isolate or escape using the big rocks I mention. Chargers as well. You just need to circle them out until you can go for the eggs with nades
@@HighwayWWhat are you settings for game play and graphics
I swear these solo player can run 50% fast than me
stamina booster if you have it
@@chonky2129 I got it and lightweight armor. Just still feel slow compared to watching them.
Stratagem score is 999999.
You must be maxed on on samples. It pains me to see you pass up so many
Haha yeah I'm maxed out on everything. It also was just faster for the video length
Misleading thumb. Not a good move.
How so?
Strats on thumb not used in vid@@Paintballerz100
Then proceeds to never collect any of the samples but a common waste of time, even marks them and never goes back even runs through them on several occasions and never tries to get them back when he clearly can.
@@lawhammergamingonce you get all the upgrades, you max out on samples after a while. So anything you collect after a certain point just doesn’t matter
@@lawhammergamingI have like 1200 orange and 500+ pinks. The only time I collect them anymore is when I'm playing with others who need them.
This seems like such an out dated loadout.
It's not! There is no loadout (so far in my experimentation) that can objective clear as well as this one for most of the mission types in the game.
As I mentioned the only thing I'd change is for missions where you're stuck to one location at a time for longer, I'd trade out the nade launcher for EAT which are excellent right now. This loadout should get the job done in most instances, however.
*PromoSM*
Dont work. Sades Loadout ever seen!
Wanna have fun...play on a controller where you are forced to awkwardly use your right hand to steer or enter stratagems while awkwardly holding the controller with your left hand. Here's hoping to better remapping options!
