"If the orbital EMS is your favorite, you like to run away, nothing else can answer this." Me using it on eradicate missions to stop the 5 hulks sprinting at full speed towards my nearly dead teammates: (true story, we made it out alive)
On lvl 7 difficulty, I threw an ems strike and gas strike with a flame grenades on a bug breach. Everything died with the exception of the three chargers and 2 titans. Which is ok because the others had quasars canons, 500 kg, and orbits rail canons. Bugs came out the wrong hole.
Fun fact: orbital precision can destroy detector towers, stratagem jammers (once you turn them off), and illegal research buildings. It’s super underrated
how am I supposed to tell my teamates where the minefield is when they can't even listen to when I arm a hellbomb "Hellbomb armed L4 get out of there, No don't take the samples now! Run! It's about to explode! L4!!! ... *sigh* There he goes "
Autocannon main and a certified second generation Creek Crawler here, I’ve put in so much work with the Autocannon that I’ve turned Space Vietnam into Space Stalingrad.
As a big fan of the eagle cluster bomb, I'd definitely make a change to it. If the cluster bomb is your favorite, you either routinely save the squad with expertly placed strikes that wipe out an entire army... or you are the leading cause of friendly fire incidents... no in-between. I have lost count of how many times I have been disintegrated by a teammates cluster bomb.
I will never understand why that CAS strafing run isn't as devastating as an A-10 strafing run. Would love to see a hanger upgrade that gives the strafing run heavy armor pen
@@greatbrandini3967hoping they bring back the Close Air Support stratagem from HD1. Sucker saved my butt plenty of times. (Granted, it was just fun-run w/ homing missiles, but still.)
@@Nempo13A-10 IRL can't ignore all armour. There's a reason tanks don't mount GAU-8 Avengers. 30mm vs 120mm is no contest. The amazing part about the Eagle Strafing Run is that it hits anything at all. In tests, it was found that the A-10 had a 0-2% chance of landing a shot on the target.
People don't understand the power of the 110mm rocket pods. Did you know this thing can track enemies AND one shots tanks? Its like the railgut but better.
when it works its amazing, simply a better railcannon. when it doesnt, you are getting turned into swiss cheese by three shredder tanks due to missing.
I’ve used it a half dozen times and it has missed every single time. So now I don’t use it. If it worked, I probably would. Idk if I’m doing something wrong, but since it’s supposed to be self targeting I can’t imagine what that would be.
110 only lock enemy on 1st strategem contact spot 5m radius Railcannon more homing wider range, alway skip the dead one, (I once killed the Titan while it was homing, then it immediatly switched to the next Charger)
@@rsiv5156 It's best used on stationary and slow moving targets. Even if it is self-targeting, you have to lead your shots. Even then, all eagle stratagems suffer from angle of fire problems, and even rng, you can at least control the two angles of fire you get from choosing where and how you throw it. The multiple uses and the low cool down time of the rearm is better in my opinion than the orbital rail cannon when you know there will be multiple large enemies. It's better than the waste of an alternative of bringing two support weapons.
Having used the 110mm a fair bit it doesn't have the damage or the search range for its target; however, you get up to 3 of them and they cooldown quick. Against some targets they arn't that great, like Chargers and Hulks need to hit from a certain angle to hit a weak point due to the eagle firing from an angle. I only use it for when I need to kill tanks tbh, very niche. I am sad the new T4 XXL eagle upgrade doesn't add an extra rocket to the salvo. =[ I'll probably compare the T4 eagle airstrike with the 110mm later since the extra bomb seems to make it just as effective at taking out tanks. But of note, the 110mm has a rather safe and small AoE for those moments you don't want to blast your teammates but need the strike.
@@ASMRCIGARS yeah but it's cool down isn't too long. I use it in conjunction with the "democracy protects" armor caviat and it makes carrying hard drive missions a breeze.
The grenade launcher is one of the best support weapons to ever exist, i've done irreparable damage to both terminids and automatons alike. Definitely based. I don't use it as much now because the quasar canon is really good against automaton ships and tanks but still love it
fact: - EAT has the fastest Rof between shot - RR has faster RoF than Quasar - RR can split reload animation by 3 times - Both work with instant shot means more time to care around - Spear is tactical, save time and lives for team advice: - Dont emphasize too much on unlimited ammo and free backpack slot, - Ammo everywhere on map, dont waste them on unworthy enemy, most of them slower than ur sprinting - Instead of backpack, better bring sentry and set up to work fast and effeciency - Clearing small mobs is more important, leave the Heavies to Eagle and Orbital . Quasar is not too good, its balanced to the others.
Yeah, grenade launcher is easy to use and have decent damage. But after i tried autocannon then i immediately fell in love with it. I don't use grenade launcher anymore due to the fact that it's so ammo hungry and can't shoot to Hulk face consistently, but that was the most fun weapon for me.
Nah, that used to be the NCR cosplay gun. Now it's the Eruptor because it's a bolt action sniper rifle with the explosive ammo every New Vegas player uses.
I like the supply backpack as a less selfish, more flexible survivability backpack, you can use it for ammo, nades, helping teammates, or as an additional 16+ stims
As a ballistic shield user I can definetly say we are not dead but all playing on helldiver difficulty in Malevolent Creek stiff all doing a shield wall together to hold back the Large threats the Automatones are yet to present
If your favourite strategem is the Eagle Napalm strike, you're probably Robert Duvall in Apocalypse now looking to set a whole hill alight so you can say the line: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning, smells like victory"
and adding on, "If your favorite is the Quasar Cannon, you like the expendable anti tank, but you don't wanna wait for the cooldown and drop time, so you settle for waiting a few seconds instead to expend freedom in a contained laserblast." either that or "you sometimes like to use it on anything that isn't a heavy and that gets you killed by the heavy around the corner."
To answer on why some of us use eagle rocket pods: The eagle rocket pods targets the biggest target and able to penetrate through heavy armor (at the cost of damage, of course) while still having some mob clearing capability of the eagle airstrike. This translates to a greater room for errors when compared to 500kg for killing heavies (because the eagle would "aim" for the heaviest target) and you could literally throw it onto your team mate that is swarmed with almost no worries that it would kill your team mate.
Correction If the EMS mortar sentry is your favorite, the normal mortar sentry used to be your favorite but you're scared of accidentally teamkilling everyone so now you just use this thing and then throw grenades at them. Somehow you still managed to kill half your team.
As someone who brings both the arc thrower and the motars to insect mission, all I can say in most of you will die but thats a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
The autocannon turret has wiped my team more than anything else because I swear that thing always turns around to dome one of my teammates before shooting at the enemy like we have to sacrifice a diver to have it work as intended. And if you don't destroy it before pushing up, then say goodbye to your knee caps because it will aim through them to shoot the head glitching raider hiding in a trench. And that's what I love about the autocannon turret.
Gatling Sentey and Gatling Orbital are my go to stratagems for Terminid dives. While everyone brings the big bombs, I make sure that all the small trash gets taken out asap. If the stratagems are not enough, I'll just use my breaker incendiary. Works like a charm
You know what,I do love the HMG mounted turret. I even bring it on non defensive missions. And I will surround myself in ap mines and fire mines, wearing a bubble shield and 50% explosive dmg resistance
Um, the rocket fucking sentry is amazing. Its held hell at the gate many times for me and i believe it targets the toughest enemy it can from my experience.
I love the Guarddog Rover + flame thrower, but I have had so many incidents where my rover literally beheads a fellow helldiver while trying to track a flanking hunter
Orbital Precision does more damage than the 500kg, but in a smaller radius. It can destroy rogue research stations, as well as any bot objective besides fuel reserves.
I usually run the EMS mortor, and it never occured to me to use it to run away. I only use it when i am protecting a position, it is great at highlighting where the enemy is and giving me easy headshots. It also does not kill allies when they are hit with it, which is nice.
The orbital smoke strike deploys differently compared to the eagle smoke strike also since it's not a eagle it has no need to re-arm just a cooldown (the orbital smoke strike deploy in more of a circle instead of a line making it alot better)
I always bring the Orbital Rail Cannon with me. Never know when you'll need to one shot a Hulk chasing after a friend with all the samples that somehow got split off from the team.
My favorite strategy is the Spear more than anything because of how much time it saves on bot missions because it can destroy fabricators from all angles at any range, and while the lock is finicky, it's reliable enough. It also lets me destroy stratagem jammers before they even become relevant. I also think that strafing run is a sorely underrated stratagem just. It comes out almost instantly and goes in a straight line in front of you, so it's easy to control
With the flamethrower you want everything well done. The bugs, the terrain, the teammates. All while cackling maniacally to yourself. "Smells like...victory." Also you only eat toasted marshmallows that are pieces of charcoal.
Tip: Mortars against bugs only make sense on defense missions because they always try to close the gap as soon as possible. That puts you in danger. Mortar against automatons are almost always good to go because they don't prioritise closing the gap and mostly engage in distance! But they sometimes do, so beware.
I change my loadout quite often in different missions depending on difficulty or enemy but the one that I keep 90% of the time is the Autocannon Sentry. I usually place it at a high point that can overlook a field and can rain down on enemies from a distance while lessening risk of hitting my teammates unless if they are right next to the enemy that my Sentry sees.
Probably jump pack, because I'm a cat. I love going in places I'm not supposed to when no one's looking unleashing mayhem and then walking away as if it's someone else's fault. Truly one of the best stealth tools. precision strike is actually pretty fucking good, like I'll legit bring that to solo Helldives. I never actually used the prenerf railgun. It's not my absolute favorite but it's competent for what it does. From what I understand, safe mode used to be as strong as unsafe mode is now, which truly does sound broken.
Ballistic Shield diver here! Defender SMG+grenade pistol+stun grenades+laser cannon lets you handle most things bot-side, especially if your team is good about dealing with rocket destroyers. You can walk up to a factory strider unmolested if you keep your shield up, stop their ejection of bots with a stun grenade, and blow them up from beneath by laser cannoning them in the belly.
You Gotta use eagle smokestrike like you are laying down trenches for your squad to push onward into extreme number of automatons, it's really fun. Also if close enough the flashlight into the smoke causes enemies to glow.
I learned the first time I used it that with an unassisted by servo arms max distance throw of a 380mm, you start in its area of effect and need to take a good few steps back
It may sound stupid to you all, but it works for me. I use supply packs, precision strikes, railcannon strikes, and eagle airstrikes. For equipment, i use defender smg, gp-31, and infiltrator light armor. It's kinda fun to get deep behind the battle line, being stealthy, alone, calling airstrikes, while dodging hulk, patrol, tank, walking factory, and turret left and right in prone position also collecting samples.
yeah, though on an ice planet that rover is GOD. It can just go and go and go and go. I have seen it wipe out entire squads by itself on ice planets lol.
5:35 I used to use impacts, but only being able to kill 2 tanks, hulks, or turrets that have to be facing away from you off the spawn and 1 per resupply box is too inefficient. With the 110mm rocket pods, that’s 3 tanks, turrets, or fabricators regardless of facing every 2 minutes. Also 1 stun grenade and headshotting a hulk is much more fun and easier than getting behind it. Also also the auto cannon can do exactly what impacts do but better, faster, from any range, and more often. (These are my strats in level 9s where hulks and tanks come at you in large numbers)
I usually play with other people, and my multiplayer build is a Tank-killer. Railgun, Shield Pack, Eagle Strike, and Railcannon orbital. I'll occasionally switch to Arc Thrower because that's what i used before I got the Railgun, and I planned for it to be in my build before I realized you can't use multiple weapon strategems.
I have two favorites: Flamethrower and Arc Thrower so I guess I'm a Sith Lord with a barbecue obsession. Really I just like pretending to be a wizard by throwing various flavors of elemental death at enemies. My fav guns are the Breaker incendiary and Bllitzer soooo... yeah.
low-key the ballistic shields buffs make it pretty damn good, run that with the defender and you can head on a heavy devastator and win without taking a single hit
I've moved away from gas strike for the time being because of the damage over time bug. But I personally don't think you need to throw them both at the same spot.
110mm rocket strike is the budget orbital railgun, it does the same thing and 100% Knicks out tanks, turret emplacements and even the odd hulk buster or bruiser. Underated in my personal opinion !
i usualy go EAT , auto C sentry, then eagle airstrike and orbital railgun in higer difficulty. no quasar? for the exosuit it can be many thing too : starship trooper mecha, that scene in the matrix 3 movie, cosplaying as a dreadnough from 40K
I’m guessing this video was made before the quasar dropped. For that one, you’re just reliving the days when you were serving hunters up fried with the Splaser.

Stalwart, precision strike, that one orbital version of eagle rocket pods, and airstrike is my setup
The autocannon turret has wiped my team more than anything else because I swear that thing always turns around to dome one of my teammates before shooting at the enemy like we have to sacrifice a diver to have it work as intended. And if you don't destroy it before pushing up, then say goodbye to your knee caps because it will aim through them to shoot the head glitching raider hiding in a trench. And that's what I love about the autocannon turret.
"If orbital gas strike is your favorite strategem, then probably you like Hi-"
Gatling Sentey and Gatling Orbital are my go to stratagems for Terminid dives. While everyone brings the big bombs, I make sure that all the small trash gets taken out asap. If the stratagems are not enough, I'll just use my breaker incendiary. Works like a charm
ok bro, how tf did you know that i had a entire gundam collection in the back of my room
Precision strike: “Dear ____,”
Orbital 120mm: “To whom it may concern,”
Orbital 380mm: @everyone
You know what,I do love the HMG mounted turret. I even bring it on non defensive missions. And I will surround myself in ap mines and fire mines, wearing a bubble shield and 50% explosive dmg resistance
Honestly, this is really well made! Sub earned
as a ballistic shield main, i can confirm i exist
Never felt so accurately called out in one of these, by the patriot exosuit stratagem.
Um, the rocket fucking sentry is amazing. Its held hell at the gate many times for me and i believe it targets the toughest enemy it can from my experience.
Whatever removes things from my sight as efficiently as possible
MLG helldivers edits is something I didn't realize I needed so much
That gas strat hit me right in the feels man 😂❤
I love the Guarddog Rover + flame thrower, but I have had so many incidents where my rover literally beheads a fellow helldiver while trying to track a flanking hunter
Orbital Precision does more damage than the 500kg, but in a smaller radius. It can destroy rogue research stations, as well as any bot objective besides fuel reserves.
I usually run the EMS mortor, and it never occured to me to use it to run away. I only use it when i am protecting a position, it is great at highlighting where the enemy is and giving me easy headshots. It also does not kill allies when they are hit with it, which is nice.
not even a minute in and Im cracking up at the machine gun one
This video brought me joy. Good luck to you. :D
All in all but if you use orbital railing cannon, then you just want a mf *gone*; low tier god, *now*.
The orbital smoke strike deploys differently compared to the eagle smoke strike also since it's not a eagle it has no need to re-arm just a cooldown
(the orbital smoke strike deploy in more of a circle instead of a line making it alot better)
I used to use the mortar strat until i started accidentally killing team mates and then i found the ems mortar strat, works so much better
I always bring the Orbital Rail Cannon with me. Never know when you'll need to one shot a Hulk chasing after a friend with all the samples that somehow got split off from the team.
My favorite strategy is the Spear more than anything because of how much time it saves on bot missions because it can destroy fabricators from all angles at any range, and while the lock is finicky, it's reliable enough. It also lets me destroy stratagem jammers before they even become relevant. I also think that strafing run is a sorely underrated stratagem just. It comes out almost instantly and goes in a straight line in front of you, so it's easy to control
With the flamethrower you want everything well done. The bugs, the terrain, the teammates. All while cackling maniacally to yourself. "Smells like...victory."
Also you only eat toasted marshmallows that are pieces of charcoal.
Used to be a supply pack enjoyer, now I am an Arc Thrower, Tesla Tower main.
Tip: Mortars against bugs only make sense on defense missions because they always try to close the gap as soon as possible. That puts you in danger. Mortar against automatons are almost always good to go because they don't prioritise closing the gap and mostly engage in distance! But they sometimes do, so beware.
This is hilarious Helldiver. Nice work
I change my loadout quite often in different missions depending on difficulty or enemy but the one that I keep 90% of the time is the Autocannon Sentry. I usually place it at a high point that can overlook a field and can rain down on enemies from a distance while lessening risk of hitting my teammates unless if they are right next to the enemy that my Sentry sees.
I use flame thrower to literally only create flame walls to prevent being overwhelmed by small things.
it's so hard to pick favorites... i like so many!!
True!
Probably jump pack, because I'm a cat.
I love going in places I'm not supposed to when no one's looking unleashing mayhem and then walking away as if it's someone else's fault.
Truly one of the best stealth tools.
precision strike is actually pretty fucking good, like I'll legit bring that to solo Helldives.
I never actually used the prenerf railgun.
It's not my absolute favorite but it's competent for what it does.
From what I understand, safe mode used to be as strong as unsafe mode is now, which truly does sound broken.
Ballistic Shield diver here! Defender SMG+grenade pistol+stun grenades+laser cannon lets you handle most things bot-side, especially if your team is good about dealing with rocket destroyers. You can walk up to a factory strider unmolested if you keep your shield up, stop their ejection of bots with a stun grenade, and blow them up from beneath by laser cannoning them in the belly.
You Gotta use eagle smokestrike like you are laying down trenches for your squad to push onward into extreme number of automatons, it's really fun.
Also if close enough the flashlight into the smoke causes enemies to glow.
Good job ❤ this video is 🔥
Thankyou ❤️
I learned the first time I used it that with an unassisted by servo arms max distance throw of a 380mm, you start in its area of effect and need to take a good few steps back
It may sound stupid to you all, but it works for me. I use supply packs, precision strikes, railcannon strikes, and eagle airstrikes. For equipment, i use defender smg, gp-31, and infiltrator light armor. It's kinda fun to get deep behind the battle line, being stealthy, alone, calling airstrikes, while dodging hulk, patrol, tank, walking factory, and turret left and right in prone position also collecting samples.
"If the shield backpack is your favorite stratagem, then you probably have trust issues"
Guard dog rover has been named the "Liability Laser"
The mortar is the "Liability Cannon"
yeah, though on an ice planet that rover is GOD. It can just go and go and go and go. I have seen it wipe out entire squads by itself on ice planets lol.
"Lasers demand human sacrifice"- Max0r
HMG emplacement is glory and awe
*me with 500 kg running in the middle of a cluster of enemies popping a stim singing here comes the sun*
I haven't seen the video yet, I'll watch it on my lunch but I will say that this video idea is genius.
I use missiles instead of impacts for one reason, they can take down multiple heavy dreadnoughts, AND can take out an outpost with ultimate uses.
The expendable rocket ditty was marvelous lol
5:35 I used to use impacts, but only being able to kill 2 tanks, hulks, or turrets that have to be facing away from you off the spawn and 1 per resupply box is too inefficient. With the 110mm rocket pods, that’s 3 tanks, turrets, or fabricators regardless of facing every 2 minutes. Also 1 stun grenade and headshotting a hulk is much more fun and easier than getting behind it. Also also the auto cannon can do exactly what impacts do but better, faster, from any range, and more often. (These are my strats in level 9s where hulks and tanks come at you in large numbers)
I usually play with other people, and my multiplayer build is a Tank-killer.
Railgun, Shield Pack, Eagle Strike, and Railcannon orbital.
I'll occasionally switch to Arc Thrower because that's what i used before I got the Railgun, and I planned for it to be in my build before I realized you can't use multiple weapon strategems.
My favorite is the flame thrower and I will not apologize, but a very close second is the supply pack because its just so dang convenient for everyone
Imagine 4 ppl using 380 and 120 at the same time.. I saw it once.. so beautiful.
Flamethrower if you're 40k pilled:
Bringing the glorious light of super earth to your foes with same day shipping.
I have two favorites: Flamethrower and Arc Thrower so I guess I'm a Sith Lord with a barbecue obsession. Really I just like pretending to be a wizard by throwing various flavors of elemental death at enemies. My fav guns are the Breaker incendiary and Bllitzer soooo... yeah.
Nice work, fellow Helldiver. May liberty guide you on your next dives for democracy (:
Thank you may all your cups of LIBERTY be sweet
Grenade Launcher + Supply pack = Bottemless Grenades.
low-key the ballistic shields buffs make it pretty damn good, run that with the defender and you can head on a heavy devastator and win without taking a single hit
Dont sleep on ems and gas strike, short cooldowns and they are very effective, especially when you toss em right on a bug breach or bot drop
I've moved away from gas strike for the time being because of the damage over time bug.
But I personally don't think you need to throw them both at the same spot.
110mm rocket strike is the budget orbital railgun, it does the same thing and 100% Knicks out tanks, turret emplacements and even the odd hulk buster or bruiser. Underated in my personal opinion !
The Nade Launcher is my favorite or as my Dad called it in the Service, the "Thump Gun"
i usualy go EAT , auto C sentry, then eagle airstrike and orbital railgun in higer difficulty.
no quasar? for the exosuit it can be many thing too : starship trooper mecha, that scene in the matrix 3 movie, cosplaying as a dreadnough from 40K
I’m guessing this video was made before the quasar dropped. For that one, you’re just reliving the days when you were serving hunters up fried with the Splaser.
Where is the quasar cannon? Might of missed it but didn’t see it in your stratagem menu? If so am I not supposed to have it? I have it… and my friend does and we use it constantly. Just a bit confused :v
No you're right I recorded this footage right before the Queso cannon and Heavy MSG came out and I figured I'd save them for a part 2 one day.
@@nicericeninja thank you! You would be surprised how much I’ve heard that the cannon didn’t exist yet just confused me that’s all. Well thanks for the reply! Have a great rest of day
Isn't napalm missing to?
ahhhh the amount of teamkills i have gotten from the mortar may equal the amount of bugs its killed
What movie was the scene for the eagle smoke strike from? I s2g i have seen it, but I can't place it atm
The Batman
@nicericeninja9264 appreciate you, loved that scene and it fit perfect
