The disrespect on my boy machine gun is real

Blick Knolls

Amazing!

Today i discovered how valuable this strat is

HMG emplacement works on every difficult, every enemy type, every mission. With the only exception being solo. My favourite setup is HMGE, autocannon turret, rocket turret and whatever support weapon you fancy, or even a red stratagem and you can just pick up a support weapon mid game.

Use the ammo pack

Might need a new video on it because there goes our flamethrower

Select the lowest rpm with the viper armor is so nice

Where are my gunners at?

Having a coordinated team that lets you scout out an area to set this up is great. Makes geological scan missions easier. Anytime a botdrop is called in, I set up the HMG emplacement at the top of a hill with the shield relay. Lets me mow down the devastators while my teammates focus on smaller bots and/or tanks/cannons.

I love the HMG emplacement. It’s earned a permanent spot in my load out.

I like to be an engineer sorta loadout. I bring the hmg emplacement for fortifying postions, cluster airstrike for tearing down the stupid trees on the creek, usualy take the arc thrower to destroy anything, and the 380 barage because i like explosions, and i bring the penitrator or dominator for a strong primary and revolver for badass points

This dude works for the democratic marketing departament, for sure!

Supply back pack does not gives my heavy machine gun ammo? I'm missing something?

I wonder if you could get it to work solo with enough ems and stun grenade spam. Probably spear support

Good stuff

I love the rail-gun. I just think it needs a small buff against tanks, towers, & gunships. 3 shots at 90% or 4 shots at 60+%. I’m glad some of the other support weapons are more efficient at taking out heavies but the gap is too large Imo.

A few mmo’s coming out in next few years that i hope you play…. Monsters and memories, and pantheon rise of the fallen.

it's a bit weak against bugs, as they tend to swarm you, and their heavy hitters can get to you very fast. But It's my to-go stratagem for bot missions, especially after speat fix. Spear and other stratagems take out tanks and Factory striders, while HMG emplacement mows down everything from smallest bots to hulks, with capability to kill Factory strider too.

I have no idea if it is my imagination, but I swear it seems that it is more "snappy" when I have peak physique armor on. At least the aim of the turret before rotation of the entire thing. I also pair it to with spear and hold back a bit, had no complaints from my teammates. In fact it's funny to se them glance towards me when they see that enemies that were supposed to swarm them while reloading are suddenly gone.

The hmg need a 125 round mag and it'd be perfect

Alright i bring the HMG on defense mission but you definitely convinced me to bring this on other mission types

This bears all caps for important it is… YOU CAN STIM YOURSELF WHEN ON THE EMPLACEMENT! IF YOU ARE TAKING FIRE DO NOT GET OFF TO STIM, KEEP FIRING!

HMG Emplacement? More like HMG Replacement! The buff to swivel speed made this weapon LEGIT.

4:01 this describes my sentiment for people who criticize the Emancipator Exo-suit for being "outclassed" by the Autocannon Sentry. The Exo-suit is a mobile emplacement that can lay down devastating overwatch fire. It's driven by a pilot, so the pilot makes target priority and sub-target priority decisions, not with the Sentry that will aim at the smallest yet closest enemy and waste two more shots in the salvo, ignoring the Brood Commander and group of Hive Guards lagging behind the Hunters.

The emplacement makes for a pretty decent “support” weapon if you are good at placement.

I actually agree, the hmg is under rated

To be fair i just use it if enemies come in a line your turret also blocks alot of damage and is actually very durable also u have insane stagger resistance, which means u never get interupted on your stims and meanwhile u just stay shooting anyway. Aside from the the moment of instantly dying so genneraly only big explosives or the huge armored enemies are the only real thing u tend to be needing to care out for

People really do be sleeping on a top-tier stratagem. Invalidates all bot drops and bug breaches besides the very largest targets. One HMG can take down a Shrieker Nest AND a Spore Spewer. Enemy Aggro can bug out when you're on the HMG, saving your life more than not, and yes, you can stim on it, tanking any stray hits from melee. Avoid low ground where you can, prioritize Chargers and stay off the gun when you see them. On the gun, prioritize Rocket Devastators, Hulks anr anything with rockets since one rocket is enough to poof it, and yourself since the emplacement blowing up is enough to destroy you. On bot missions, you can bring the shield generator and never need worry about getting shot out of it. Best of luck!

I agree, the HMG turret is a blast and you did a great job highlighting its strengths. One thing you forgot to mention but definitely showed in your footage is that your choice of backpack matters. For some reason your backpack becomes invisible when you mount the HMG, but its ability stays active. This means you should bring the shield backpack when fighting bots - to give a little extra protection against their projectiles - and you should bring the laser rover when fighting bugs - to pick off any little guys who try to flank or rush you.

I started using this stratagem yesterday and fucken love it

I think you touched on just about everything people have advocated for about this stratagem. Also, though, i still dont quite like it. The shield relay can help with a lot of gunships targeting you, and i might bring knowing i am going to be the main AA.

My bot build is: autocannon turret, shield gen, spear, HMG It mows down bots crazy fast and the autocannon takes care of the pesky devastators and chicken walkers fast. For bugs it’s: Autocannon, HMG, Quasor, and laser dog Autocannon will kill chargers of place on time and can weaken bike titans. Quasor can open up charger and bile titan weak spots for HMG to finish off. Laser dog to kill off smaller bugs that get too close. Both builds with team mates helping you out if amazing

Very good overwatch agreed. Perfect matchup with snipeing from range. The biggest problem is the sheer amount of planets with rain,fog,spores etcetra. Enemies can still seem to hit you even when completely obscured from your view.

when doing overwatch and teammates are forward, i verbally remind them to tag (q) large, priority targets coming at them so i can help (due to the smoke and environment) with everyone marking stuff, not only am i properly supporting them but it effectively doubles my kill distance since they are much further out. (just aim under the marker since at distance it shows above the target). second, if i know a large force is coming or a heated battle, ill climb a rock or cliff as high as possible and place a turret of some kind behind me at a lower level ( so it doesnt hit me!) this gives you a warning when the enemy tries to flank or land new soldiers behind you. thanks for the video!

The new SHIP MODULE update for 10% reload speed made this musket more of a bolt action. Love the technical aspect of your videos... i'd love to see SHORT on thee nuisance and updates on these.

WIth the update to it's speed (750 rpm) and the addition of the 10% RELOAD speed boost (SHIP MODULE) I'd love to see your thoughts(video) on it's changes.

I've been rocking this bad boy since before the patch and post patch it's only gotten better. One of my favorites

Great video, let me know if you're at all intrested in Teaming up or wanna do any team testing. (Level 120)

I had to stop using this one because on higher difficulty random allies will drop explosives on you, thinking you are getting overwhelmed. I'm not overwhelmed, those are dead bodies.

What I love about the HMG Emplacement is it's an ACTIVE way to deal with threats. As effective as all the airstrikes and auto sentries are, they dont make me feel like I MYSELF am kicking ass. I'm calling in others to do the work for me. Also, good call bringing stuns with this, though dont recall you mentioning it specifically, the gameplay speaks for them.

Been saying for ages, people gotta learn how to use this and the support HMG, theyre well-slept on...

If you want to feel more safe while using the hmg emplacement guard dog and shield backpack are two good additions. Both work while manning the hmg emplacement and either kill smaller enemies attacking from behind or make you tougher ;)

I’ve taken out whole bot drops with this, hordes of devastators and hulks, only thing it can’t handle is factory striders, also pairs super well with the jump pack to get to that high ground

continuous recoiless fire at that

I love getting this strategem while randomizing, especially after the recent buffs. Helps with stuff like gunships, spore spewers and distant shrieker nests

Wow the mg emplacement actually slaps

Funny enough, the hmg can tank so many laser shots and rockets for some reason, as if there is a shield in front of it
