Helldivers 2 had a huge update today with a new Democratic Detonation Warbond. Testing the new Explosive Sniper with @Tomographic @Stodeh Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching.
Probably unlikely since for the helldivers to be deployed, orbital superiority needs to be achieved first. That means Automaton stratagems most likely aren't going to be added, but that does open a lot of potential gamemodes. Super Destroyer vs Automaton Mothership, anyone?
@@NoName...... I'd imagine 4 squads of Helldivers with their own ships vs 4 dreadnoughts of the automatons. The players would operate the armaments installed on the ship and drive/steer also the ship used by the squad is the one the host selects.
But consider the idea: Automatons using their own strategems means they got their own ships in orbit. Our own Super Destroyers are also in orbit. Just aim the helldiver cannon sideways, and we get to board their ships. Take over their ships and use their own strategems against them. Very efficient method of spreading democracy.
Another idea, automaton ships push in and fire their own stategems until our own super dreadnoughts can push them out. Planet side Helldivers can't use their own strategems while the super dreadnoughts are finished.
"Maybe I´ll turn into an Automaton one day...." Yep...thats a report to the Democracy Officer...this ain´t anything personal Jack...just seemed a bit too suspecious....
I mean Helldivers2 was a financial success. Idk about Shatterline. Gotta factor that in. Rn Helldiver's has like 11.5 million units sold on Steam according to vginsights
Seems a bit redundant when you can just stun grenade them once and line up an easy headshot with your support weapon. If it took only 2 to kill i could maybe see them being useful when you're too overwhelmed with other enemies for that strategy to work or if you're using something like the stalwart, but right now they're kinda eh.
Or they could learn from this one and see how they could make those more interesting. Instead of just having the NPCs run from point A to B, perhaps we need to defend the NPCS as they perform various task around a larger map. So get rid of the arena style map for civilian extract and change it to the larger maps with various sub objectives where you defend them as they do hilarious task.
The new defense mission is 1000% FUCKING AWESOME. It's exactly how i envisioned defense missions to be like. Defending lines of the base, emplacement, killzones, high ground etc: not like the eradicate mission where half the time they drop an entire division onto you that forces you to go to the outskirts in order to have a chance...
This is one of my favorite games I’ve watched you play in years, Mr. Frags. The graphics mixed w the atmosphere you and your friends create together is truly one of a kind. It’s nice to see a quality game that didn’t need 15 bug fix patches to play properly
mines are pretty good, short cool down. So you can put one down at the start and by the time the bot's show up you can drop another one on the other side. I got the ship buff for fire so I use those.
They could make this even more fun by adding assets outside the walls that you could activate with a timer, like anti-air, shield generators, or even a capture point, then increase the spawn rate to the same as an "extract scientists" mission. Or better yet cause the spawns and drop points to move closer to the intact gates after they break the outer ones. It would make the map feel a feel little less like a passive defense, and make it so that if you aren't having an upkeep on those outer defenses, it'll get progressively harder.
I found with the explosive sniper you need to take something like a Stalwart to use as a pseudo-primary and treat the sniper as your power weapon/ long range. Otherwise it's too slow and unwieldy to use as your primary, and there's an interesting glitch where you fall towards whatever you are shooting if you are too close to the explosion which isn't ideal if what you are shooting has chainsaws for arms. It is very good for popping devastators, 1-shotting scout walkers and destroying bot fabricators though.
Preordering this game and not missing out on the galactic war lore from the beginning is the best thing I have ever done. Feels like living in a part of history. Fantastic game
The Eruptor is a fantastic gun, unfortunately Jack isn't using it that well in this video lol.. The aoe of the eruptor will definitely kill multiple other enemies around the target you shoot if theyre fairly close together. It also one shots most of the medium armor enemies.
Think a lot of people fall into the trap of not adapting the rest of their loadout as well. It pairs best with something like the machine guns or the arc thrower that you can pretty much use to replace a standard primary, instead of just picking quasar every time.
you really need EMS mortars on this mission to make it easy, and the ajudacator scope like the AMR is not aligned it will one shot kill up to devasators with a single head shot but good luck actually landing one with the scope
Wish the new medium armor had the engineering kit bonus so it could work in tandem with the new thermite, don't see it as the robot arm bonus with the extra throwing distance.
Use your quasar on heavy targets more! You can one shot hulks , and two - three shot tanks, with the Eruptor rifle blowing up the smaller targets, it's an AWESOME combo to run, try it out sometime it's fun. The cooldown on quasar cannon is like 3-4 seconds.
Ive seen a lot of halo odst comparisons which i 100% love the thought of but also imagine you’re the clone army having to hold waves of droids similar to this high level of action and team work. Maybe something like that was planned for the battlefront 3 game we never got to have 😔😔
Lotta people complaining in the comments but just remember He said he wanted to try the new weapon so maybe that’s why he forgot about the quasar canon? And also this game is like a movie and it’s strikingly beautiful, even I find myself just looking around admiring the landscape and fog and colors and watching in awe as troops and army’s advance upon you from multiple locations… this game is just awesome
It's funny that you say it looks like a WH40k bolter Jack. As the ammunition used in bolters are also jet assisted rounds 😅 I wonder where they got the Idea from! 👀
I finally bought it for AUS$50 last night, played my first escort mission ... and failed it. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing and got swarmed. Haha. I need to get my buttons sorted out.
Democracy never sleeps, so why should we?
To dream about democracy
Because on the seventh day, even God rested from his works.
FOR DEMOCRACY!!!
@@al3x_lightd3mon15 good point
Only game I play now since battlefield 2042 had its content cancelled 😢😢
Honestly, we are fucked the second the Automatons start using their own strategems.
Probably unlikely since for the helldivers to be deployed, orbital superiority needs to be achieved first.
That means Automaton stratagems most likely aren't going to be added, but that does open a lot of potential gamemodes. Super Destroyer vs Automaton Mothership, anyone?
@@qilinger4685 I don't know how that would gel with the original game mode. Is it still 4 player pve or is it something bigger?
@@NoName...... I'd imagine 4 squads of Helldivers with their own ships vs 4 dreadnoughts of the automatons. The players would operate the armaments installed on the ship and drive/steer also the ship used by the squad is the one the host selects.

Such a great line from that metal song.
Tom Morello writing this down
if I reply how I want to im gonna go on a list
jack looks like an absolute menace on every game he plays.... except helldivers where he looks like a bot lmao
Jack really does play this game quite slowly
He's pretty bad at this game lol
I can’t stop playing this game and glad you keep playing it too.
Most fun I’ve had gaming in years.
I feel like this game is saving the industry. I cant remember enjoying a game like this for so long
@@lawrencegatley6157then you should play better games instead of the same 2😂😂😂😂
@@KingJohnMichael suggestions?
@@lawrencegatley6157I find remnant 2 to be a hidden gem
Elden Ring would like to have a word
dude just standing around watching his teammates do all the work☠
i was gonna say that myself lol. He's basically just standing there occasionally shooting and missing a bot or two hahaha
just like in warzone and the nuke quests, my guy is a walking bot
Tough watch to be honest. Feels like a reaction video for views.
I love how jack has the Quassar cannon and shoots none of the dropships, only one at the beginning🤣
Watching him plink away at heavys doing zero damage while he has a quasar cannon on his back is so painful.
yeah lmao. Also the 500kg waiting in his pocket lmao
Literally man I was shouting at my screen like cmon😂
indeed, he plays it as if its cod and sticks to his primary
and not crouching when hip firing....
Te, he could roll down dropships like half og The enemies would be dead on drop
THIS GAME KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER
FOR DEMOCRACY
I dont see halo infinite getting better and better, instead, worse and worse
"Maybe I´ll turn into an Automaton one day...." Yep...thats a report to the Democracy Officer...this ain´t anything personal Jack...just seemed a bit too suspecious....
Helldivers 2 is what Shatterline could’ve been.
fr
I mean Helldivers2 was a financial success. Idk about Shatterline. Gotta factor that in.
Rn Helldiver's has like 11.5 million units sold on Steam according to vginsights
Sweet I actually want to play that.
forgot that it existed lol
shatterline has its moments though
Feeling like you’re playing in a trailer is so true, the atmosphere is always so good
Am I the only one yelling for him to use the quasar against the tanks at the beginning?
with the amount of explosions, feels like a Michael Bay movie
The thermal grenades are meant to throw to stick onto armored enemies. 3 can take down a hulk.
Seems a bit redundant when you can just stun grenade them once and line up an easy headshot with your support weapon. If it took only 2 to kill i could maybe see them being useful when you're too overwhelmed with other enemies for that strategy to work or if you're using something like the stalwart, but right now they're kinda eh.
I was about to say i used them on small enemies and they suck
It's meant to be good, but it simply isn't. It's the worst grenade in the game currently
New Defense Mode is sooooo much better than the other two "defense" modes. They might as well get rid of Eradicate and Civilian Extraction.
Or they could learn from this one and see how they could make those more interesting.
Instead of just having the NPCs run from point A to B, perhaps we need to defend the NPCS as they perform various task around a larger map.
So get rid of the arena style map for civilian extract and change it to the larger maps with various sub objectives where you defend them as they do hilarious task.

the extraction one is honestly horrible, if the bot aggro isnt on the other side of the map by a player/s the game's most likely isnt fun to play
Sean reminds us all of that friend who never talks and sits in offline mode 24/7
Love the 'nutcracker' [high five headbutt].
They need to fix the civilian extraction, it is almost impossible without 4 friend squad. The waves just never stop.
Bro they are relentless in those missions…
Good
Jack literally just stands around while his team carries him
Helldivers 2 and Stellar Blade make me a happy boi
Same, brother.
This is one of my favorite games I’ve watched you play in years, Mr. Frags. The graphics mixed w the atmosphere you and your friends create together is truly one of a kind. It’s nice to see a quality game that didn’t need 15 bug fix patches to play properly
Crazy how much new stuff they’ve been adding, feels like every week there’s something new lol, I can’t ever stop playing because of that 😂
Blood and oil, helldivers
Blood and oil
you need to say "Hell yeah" when you do the clap
SWEET LIBERTY MY LEG!!!!
Game looks phenomenal in 4k Jack!
That under the map excursion was hilarious.
"I'm running around under the map with my trousers down". 😂 Merch shirt right there.
I can't believe you guys managed to complete helldive only taking out 1 dropship. Those exploded tanks blocking the door was clutch.
I never get bored of Helldivers 2 content!!👌
This game is blowing up. Loads of fun.
Jack, I love you and have been watching you for over half my life... but why do you just stand around doing no damage when playing Helldivers 😭
lmao he looks like a bot
I loved that tower defence mission. The one and only time I found the need to use the HMG emplacement lol
This is our new favorite game to watch stream, it looks and sounds like so much fun. More please. Thanks, Jack
The dab at 11:50 was hillarious! I love this game!
Bro dabbed unironically in 2024 💀
My favorite trio, back at it again
jackfrags, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!
I love how this video ended. Sweet liberty prevailed. "Oh, wouldn't the ministry of truth tell us that?" LOL
Good edit on that dab 😂

jack just running around not using his support weapon or stratagems lol
Preordering this game and not missing out on the galactic war lore from the beginning is the best thing I have ever done. Feels like living in a part of history. Fantastic game
this mission is actually so fun, when i play with my group we run EAT and Quasar cannon and just keep juggling them to keep AT fire going
Jack grabs a quazer and shoots 1 literally 1 drop ship
What a great experience already.
That was a great excursion lol
Cool game, I hope I get it on my birthday in may
arcthrower tip: aim above head for headshot. Flick up after straight aim to gaurantee it. Headshots go crazy for hulks and destroyers.
What emote was that head bash at the beginning? First time I’ve seen but love that
The shoulder bump hit marker is peak comedy.
I remember the evac mission order before they nerfed them that had hundreds dropping at once I hope we get more chaos like that and not tons of nerfs
There's also a metal cover from the composer of the 1st game! "Helldivers 2 - Main Theme - Metal cover / Orchestral Mockup" - here on youtube.
The Eruptor is a fantastic gun, unfortunately Jack isn't using it that well in this video lol..
The aoe of the eruptor will definitely kill multiple other enemies around the target you shoot if theyre fairly close together. It also one shots most of the medium armor enemies.

Hey Jack I have learned that using the electric tower in the new tower defense thing is pretty affective
Love the videos jack.
you really need EMS mortars on this mission to make it easy, and the ajudacator scope like the AMR is not aligned it will one shot kill up to devasators with a single head shot but good luck actually landing one with the scope

I really like whenever we look up. Our ships was just up there.
You went to the underworld and then decided to return lol
Wish the new medium armor had the engineering kit bonus so it could work in tandem with the new thermite, don't see it as the robot arm bonus with the extra throwing distance.
you guys make helldiver difficulty look easy
Lmao more explosions than a Michael bay movie.
One thing I wish they would do for these tower defense is give you samples for completing it.
Fun drinking game: take a shot every time jack gets rag-dolled :D
I need that preorder armor like I need oxygen.
Helldivers explosions effects are literally ground breaking 😨
Use your quasar on heavy targets more! You can one shot hulks , and two - three shot tanks, with the Eruptor rifle blowing up the smaller targets, it's an AWESOME combo to run, try it out sometime it's fun. The cooldown on quasar cannon is like 3-4 seconds.
Jack you sure did take a good propaganda at those Aliens
Helldivers 2 is what Halo needs to be at this point.
The automatons will be fusing to the bugs like the flood in halo . Well this is my hope for the evolution of the story .
Bro high 5 me bro
Yahhhhhhhh
😂😂😂
Jack was playing on spectator mode.
The idea of you turning into a rogue helldiver for the cause of Autocracy is tempting, you will see of us very soon in the future mister Jack.
Drum and bass remix you say? Hold my stim..
R-36 Eruptor is fun / can solo bug holes shreeker and spores 1 shot chargers and destroy factories from great distances

I really wish they'd let us buy the pre-order armor
HellDivers Movie incomming
Helldiving difficulty seems more fun that I expected it to be
Honestly i didn't even know this game is coming out for PC and now its the best game I've played for the past at least 5 years...
I finally bought it for AUS$50 last night, played my first escort mission ... and failed it. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing and got swarmed. Haha. I need to get my buttons sorted out.
It’s crazy that if it wasn’t for CZcams Jack would be another factory worker out of the UK. Be thankful Jack.
Overall Results:
Helldivers: Just another Tuesday
Automaton: I think they just experienced there own D-Day
The boys are back
That quasar cannon on his back has seen less action than a bed ridden grandpa😅
This is filthy. Jack should be getting sponsors from good games like this.
