Just use expendable anti-tank's. Like seriously they're busted on bots and make the entire front a joke

My run was finished because the portal suddenly open and i didn't got any coin to throw at them 😂

Those big guys and the big archer definitely gonna be the number one threat for this playthrough

Slugger is goated fr

All of a sudden, a factory strider goes from being a mission-ending threat to target practice.

Nice little video. I must however add to you armor passives list. Too many Helldivers are ignoring the "Servo Assisted" passive. With all other armor sets you have a max throwing range of 50m. The terrain and weather can affect this, so think of it at somewhere between 45 to 55m. With the "Servo Assisted" passive however, your range is now 75 to 85m! When fighting the commie toasters, range is the game! And giving yourself that extra range when it comes to your stratagems can really make a big difference! The 380 barrage is good for taking out bigger bases and fortresses, however if your max throwing range is 50m then you've likely been spotted by the enemy when throwing it. Plus you're within range of your own barrage! From personal experience I'd say that you need to stay at least 70m away from the 380 if you don't wanna blow yourself up, and even then it's nice to have an additional 10m buffer. The extra range can be the difference between life and death when it comes to the bots and their various defensive implacements.

The best intro to a Helldiver’s video I have seen

Just like the simulations 😌

Nice call back

0:24 I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the Autocannons syncing up with the music was 😘🤌

1. Railcannon Strike 2. Precision Strike 3. Energy Shield 4. Heavy MG

“I am the beast rider!” Cue Dune soundtrack 🐛

i love bad north challenge series

I've really enjoyed taking four sentries and just playing cover and support in bits lately. It's worked soooooo well

Nice video man

I personally think the high explosive grenade is a strong option, it has heavy armor penetration - two poorly placed grenades can destroy a hulk. It also continues to be capable of destroying bot fabricators.

I really would never recommend a noob to use heavy armor. The slower speed and less stamina mean you really have to conserve your movement and strategize your position on the field at all times to minimize the impact being heavy has on your gameplay

I hate the bots but with how level 10 bug missions grow stale I might switch sides for a bit

Watching the gameplay makes me wanna play the game again

Terribly sorry for the unbalanced audio, next episode will have a better equalisation between the game sounds and the commentary

Let's goooo, challenge series. This one gonna be tricky eh?

I understand this video is for new players, but I found that telling new players that Light Pen or short range weapons are not ideal can enforce bad habits. For example you tell new players that the DCS is really good for headshots, but headshots aren’t more than lightly protected making medium penetration quite redundant. Automatons move slowly, making these precise shots easier. To best help new players, suggest learning the weaknesses of the enemy, then let the players experiment for themselves

This video is a million times more helpful than any of those vids with tons of views. Thanks for this!

4:54 Napalm Barrage is now the Grey Poupon of strategems.

*Loadout* My personal loadout is the Constitution rifle (For democracy, great at headshotting devastators), P4 Senator (Shooting lower plate of uparmoured striders), Autocannon (Fabricator ricochet), Orbital 380 (General purpose), Eagle Airstrike (General purpose), and Orbital Prescision (General purpose and destruction of objectives). *General Purpose and Destruction of Objectives* by General purpose I mean use on outposts and on enemies in the field. With the orbital pres by destruction of objectives if its thrown at the base of MOST objectives it will do the job of a hellbomb (Exceptions include destroy orbital cannons mission) and you can just lob it over the wall without ever breaching the enemies defenses (As long as you're a good throw). *Fabricator ricochet and AC against Fac Striders* By fabricator ricochet on the Autocannon I mean going at the right angle and firing the autocannon into the vent (Where you can throw grenades into), which will make it detonate inside and destroy the fabricator, it is also good at dealing with hulks and you can run under factory striders (Shoot off miniguns first) on automatic and just fire ~6-7 rounds into the belly which will destroy it. *Stealth* Remember, you dont HAVE to shoot everything you see, is there a patrol? Lie down and move out of their path, need to get past an outer defense of an enemy outpost? crawl up behind the guy on the machine gun and melee him, he wont notice until hes dead and it wont alert other bots. use the SC-30 Trailblazer scout or anything with scout perk (Incl. an armour set on the Second (?) page of the basic warbond. *Grenades* Take either the G6 Impact grenades (Basic warbond) or the stun grenade, I generally perfer the G6s but thats just because I suck at using the stun nades. *Play tactically* The bots WANT you to fight them, they get you into a massive suppressing firefight and just repeatedly call reinforcements, you can take them out but it'll require a lot of ammo and stratagems, the bots are SLOW, just run from them and virtually nothing except striders and some chaff (Humanoid looking ones) will catch you. IF you decide to engage a patrol deal with the chaff enemies first, it may seem redundant but they are the only ones that can call for reinforcements, if they do you are now dealing with about 7 patrols and OTHER enemies. If there is a factory strider on an objective drop a barrage or something that does a lot of damage over a long period, then leave and come back later, if they called a bot drop the enemies will probably have just despawned. Lob your stratagem over the wall, dont go inside, you can take out most outposts without ever entering the walls, as for objectives things like stratagem jammers will need to be entered, but if you can just hold the top area with the console you can just throw a orbital pres and jump over the wall without worrying about them destroying the objective, eagle 500s can also work as orbital pres but I dont like having more than one eagle. *VARY YOUR LOADOUT* Some people like their loadout wayyyyy too much, change it up depending on the mission, everyone hates Geological survey, its basically impossible and drains all the reinforces, but I've SOLO'D the final drill just by bringing some smokes, replace your 380 with an eagle smoke strike. On defense missions I recommend the HMG emplacement, EAT rockets, rocket/AC sentry and an eagle. - Commander Bluebaron, lvl 102 Commander of the SES Titan of Liberty and 5 stars on super helldive addict.

No stealth mentioned, for armour I recommend running the SC-30 Trailblazer scout (Pg 8 first warbond), you can literally lie down and get to about 5m from bots without them seeing you, but any armour with scout perk will work (Pings showing enemies and 30% detection distance reduction)

im surprised you didnt mention the 3 c's, cover, cover and more cover. un like the terminids you cant just run they will fill you with holes, stager and ragdoll. so when ever you need to hold ground, input a stratagem, reload, need a breather or anything else do it behind cover. building provide temporary cover but will eventually get destroyed rocks, cliffs, ledges are all good sources of cover and wont get destroyed.

This is a couple of hints for newer players. The light gunner armor is a hidden jem. It gives medium armor protection with the speed of light armor. The democracy protect armors are also really good on the bot front. They chance to not die due to the effect has saved me innumerable times. The machine gun sentry is great for watching your back, and less prone to kill you and teammates than the gatling sentry. When combined with the orbital gas strike, this combo can quickly deal with bug nests.

Thank you for the video! Super Earth thanks for your service

Dedicated bot diver wanting to share some tips> 1. You don't necessarily need all those clear options on your person. If your ally is loaded to the gills with AT weapons, then you can work on the swarm clear for them as you stick to them. Or if you're built like a sabateur and running around separate from your team, then those swarms are something to disengage from after finishing your task. 2. Medium armor pen is phenomenal and takes away a lot of the aim strictness that the bots otherwise demand. This can be overcome with a judicious application of bullets however. Even a weapon as borderline uncontrollable as the knight can still hit the head with the spray. 3. As Snow said, bot drops in 1 location are the best time to push into your location. Only exception is the detector towers that will drop on you even if there is a bot drop elsewhere. 4. Don't sleep on the turrets. Where an eagle airstrike can deal with a large group, a single rocket sentry can handle a factory strider and a bot drop or 2. Turret, enemy and your placement are key so it can be tricky. My go to build for the 40 minute bot missions. Primary: Exploding Crossbow (Primarily to blow open container doors and pop fabs in the vents) Secondary: Verdict (although I've been rocking the dagger since the Jet Brigade are out in force lately) Grenade: Stun (thermite is good too) Armor: Light Engineer armor (More stuns, but mainly for the Recoil control) Support Weapon: AMR (makes short work of most heavy targets. Learn the hipfire to take out the chainsaws and scout striders) Strategems: Orbital Laser (Can solo clear even a large outpost. Clear out the targets like Tanks or the laser will burn itself out on the them and not hit the fabs. The factory walker is a complete no-go) Supply Pack (Lets you use the AMR as a primary, with the side benefit of a ton of Nades and Stims) Rocket Turret (As mentioned above can handle large packs and bot drops. Sometimes swap with strafing run)

Especially that last tip is a game changer!

As a bot diver I usually just take a Quasar and a liberator dog for support weapons then a 500kg (Very good if you get the upgrade to get 2 uses before the cooldown) and a orbital laser

Your introduction reminds me of an youtuber from 2016, i also gonna start to watch this video to see how great it is

What an amazing guide! Really like the principled approach rather than just regurgitating the current meta - will make this very useful even when balance inevitably changes with future patches!

Grenade Launcher + Supply Pack can carry you through most levels. For higher levels, bring titan-killers for your other strats. As a general rule though, Recoilless + 3 sentries will do any level just fine

I've put the bugs on the back burner for my entire career in hd2 (it's like 100k bots to 20k bugs) so this is the perfect vid for me.

Do you have braces?

Keep in mind, if you don’t wanna use the grenade pistol you can use frag grenades for fabricators due to the 5 grenades you get

This is an amazing video :) So much effort went into it too! :D <3

This is such a well made video, i hope you get some more subs very soon man.

Gotta say the laz scythe is actually pretty good as well. Especially against the jet brigade since it can easily detonate the jumpacks on the jet troops.

As a bot diver, this video was incredibly helpful as i always find myself struggling against the bugs and despite what most people say i actually dont like the flamethrowers against the bugs because of how close they get to me. My personal favorite build for bugs is the medium medic armor, with the breaker spray and pray, the senator, and incendiary impact grenades. For the stratagems, i tend to bring the 500 kg, the orbital rail cannon strike, the heavy machine gun, and the supply pack.

Thanks, man. I’m gonna be getting a Steam Deck, and I’ll finally be able to spread Managed Democracy, so this was really helpful.

I just wanted to say at the roughly 20 second mark wher ethe climax of the song hits and the bomb goes off was perfectly timed! And it cought me off guard how well timed it was.

Parden my language but I think these CLANKERS deserve a mission where you activate an emp

Love it! So useful and plus a good dose of humour! 👍🏻
