I don't really have the guts to do this most games, but when I do it is fun if I manage to find a weapon, even just a double barrel shotgun. I find the best middleground for this playstyle is running EATs. Having an EAT means I am not naked if I run into a heavy, and I still have my primary and secondary which can deal with most threats short of heavies. But then, if I do find a support weapon, I can drop my EAT for it and rest easy not having the EAT because the EAT has such a short cooldown that I can call it in again if I need it.
@@T1cksandLeeches because I remember a time when thermite grenades weren't as good as they are today. Also, not everyone has the demo warbond, the people who do have the demo warbond may not have had as much time practicing their grenade throws (I whiff mine sometimes), and the thermite grenade can take some time to do its work. On top of this, I really like the standard hand grenades. I always liked the utility of being able to cook them even before the damage buff, but now they're incredibly powerful and surprisingly slept on. They've gotten me out of some serious jams. I do run thermite grenades in chaff clear loadouts though and I like using them.
I saw a comment that John Helldiver and Sarge went to bootcamp together. I think Sarge did not fill out his C-01 permit and fathered a bastard child so they named him John Helldiver. Now John is on a galactic mission to find his father.
@@Sarge94 nah, that wasn't even the closest one, the CLOSEST one was at 7:00 when you got ragdolled while holding the strategem ball for the eagle airstrike and you had to jetpack out the way you came before it landed!
Damn bro, couple of close calls, not least nearly falling down that hole! 😅 but another smooth run. Great use of the strafing run. And a round of applause for Eagle 1, she earned her super credits that day 😂
Jumping away from extraction so the bird hovers and clears out the crowd, only to realize it timed out and its gonna leave in 20 seconds. My heart sank ngl
Wow, I haven't watched the video yet, but this is a VERY gutsy build because all it takes is one AA outpost to pretty much shut you down! Looking forward to seeing how you handle it.
7:02 panic coming up!! Three thermite at the buttocks and one 500kg bomb? Man, that was a nasty combo against the Factory Strider. I think the dev should introduce Eagle 1 to Eagle 4 so we can spam 4 Eagle Airstrikes 😂 That was a freaking close to being abandoned. I wonder why SAM is very weak against dropships and gunships.
Can you do something with smoke grenades? Ive been on my own solo missions journey recently and they have been a hard crutch for dissapearing from the bots. They get alerted by the smoke grenade pop but will prioritise sentrys. Cant see you in smoke but fire on where they think you are based on last seen position and last gunshot.
For me, the most effective stratagems would be something like: Eagle Airstrike, 380mm Barrage, Jetpack and Quasar/Railgun. When it comes to weapons: DCS/Scorcher/Purifier, Redeemer and Thermite Grenade. Armor: Infiltrator.
Dropping in with just a jetpack is one of my new favorite ways to play. Scavenging a weapon on the map makes every game unique and memorable.

@@blehmeh9889 why don't you just run thermite grenades for that?

At this point, I’m not convinced Sarge isn’t secretly the notorious John Helldiver, who can defend planets all by himself with no help whatsoever.
He might be one of General Brasch's squad mates, or possibly personally trained by him. Sarge is no ordinary Helldiver, he is ELITE.
@@striker22343 he's the "Let Me Solo Him" of Helldivers 2
I mean, Eagle pilots, starship crews and the entire might of Super Earth's economy is quite some help...
@@aceking9410 He is of Let Me Solo Her's bloodline
15:06 the pure moment of terror
Audible gasp moment o_o
Tight Clutch? Or Tightly Clenched?

15:06 is the closest moment I've seen to your death in a long time Sarge. I would have screamed the whole time.
You have no idea how hard i was spamming my space bar when it happened 😂
I had to pry the seat cushion out my ass.
@@Sarge94 nah, that wasn't even the closest one, the CLOSEST one was at 7:00 when you got ragdolled while holding the strategem ball for the eagle airstrike and you had to jetpack out the way you came before it landed!
I squeed with joy when you picked up that break-action shotgun. I used it a lot as a noob, and it's fun to play with!
Damn bro, couple of close calls, not least nearly falling down that hole! 😅 but another smooth run. Great use of the strafing run.

Yup, didn't pay attention to the clock due to all the chaos 😂
15:03 greatest threat Sarge has ever faced in his life
7:07 Jetpack came in clutch there Sarge

Luckily there was no AA, but that's why i had thermite grenades :)
I've been playing with the Eagle Strafing Run - and it rocks!
Come to think of it, I've never seen Sarge and John Helldiver in a same room before
Wait, you SAW John Helldiver then ?
@@nekomiaou Dude's pretty chill. He was having a nice cup of liber-tea at the super cafeteria. I was lucky enough to see the legend himself
26:50 "I must go, Cyberstan needs me"
Haha i'm glad someone noticed, i laughed so hard when it happened 🤣
I've been running infiltrator armor a lot recently rather than trailblazer and honestly that 20 more armor makes a noticeable difference
Yup, especially when you get hit by bunker/fortress turret.
15:06 Gak! Martha! Where's the defibrillator?!!
i was waiting for Sarge to use Eagle Strafing Vs bots. Time for popcorns
Duking, weaving, sliding - almost like you’re playing COD hahaha. GG as always soldier
Watching this made me realize how bad I am at computer games.
7:00 A Helldivers classic
7:02 panic coming up!!

Sadly SAM has really short range. On top of that, i think it was hitting trees quite often during this run :(

I like you cause youre not scared to fight bots
General Sarge👮♂️
00:33 Oopsie. The helmet is actually from the FS-37 Ravager armor set.
Otherwise? Flawless.
Aw shit, my bad. Description changed. Thanks mate!
Sarge would you ever do a video showcasing your fails/deaths?
Might happen in the future 😊
Cool video 🔰
So what happens if you throw a grenade in the orange glowing hole in the ground that you passed at around the 6 min mark?
are you going to make the new warbond video ?
Most likely, the new shotgun looks interesting. Hopefully it doesn't come pre-nerfed.
@@Sarge94 Also the pistol or though its more of the same as the purifier
I've never used strafing run before would you say its reliable for taking down heavies?
It's pretty good, but i still prefer the airstrike
what do u think is the best loudout and weapons for solo super helldive
For me, the most effective stratagems would be something like: Eagle Airstrike, 380mm Barrage, Jetpack and Quasar/Railgun. When it comes to weapons: DCS/Scorcher/Purifier, Redeemer and Thermite Grenade. Armor: Infiltrator.
Is this gonna be the new Sarge outfit👀🔥
This is an old Sarge outfit 😉 It's been a minute since I've seen him wear it.
I really like this outfit, but sadly it can't tank a turret shot. The run almost ended at 34:49
What do you like about Redeemer that you really often take it with you?
It's really good against small mobs. I often use it to quickly clear guard posts and prevent them from calling dropships.
@@Sarge94 Isn't Verdict even better for that?
I prefer the Redeemer
So uh, is that "evacuate priority citizens" bugged, or is it the new intended way to play? ALl citizens are already in their ship or what?
No clue, been like that for quite some time.
Wait - how come you were able to evac citizens so quickly ? 😮
You don't have to escort them anymore, no clue if it's intended or a bug. Been like that for over a month now.
Eagles are my best strategem I never miss. This was 🤔
Oh god....why are u doing this to me..... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Just a rifle can take down a gunship now...??
What is your primary gun?
Diligence Counter Sniper
i see
Bro General Braschs replacement
