Tried out the build and it's really good, didnt get alot of use out of the big iron tho aaaand I do miss my jump pack when running this but over all really good build that makes the bots a cake walk on super helldive
This is super cool, i was browsing RUclips after making a new bot loadout and coincidentally came across this video. We happened to choose all of the same stratagems except i chose a 500 kg in lieu of the strafing run. Great video!
Appreciate it. Murrrrrh feelings were hurt after they buffed the heavy enemies and the 500kg couldn't consistently one shot hulks anymore. If I could throw 5x 500kg bombs instead of 5 strafing runs then I'd absolutely choose the 500kg. Just so I have a faster way of blowing up arty emplacements and detector towers. Lol. I'm also struggling not to just hit the record button on my illuminate guide now, because there are so many squid "best build" guides I disagree with. XD
@Antique-nova yup, i mostly take it because it's cooler than the strafing runs and the roughly 2 minute cooldown is pretty negligible if you've got two sentries for in-between encampments and the encampments themselves take around 2 minutes to run to. If you're playing solo you have infinite recoilless rockets for fabricators, and if you're playing in a group you'll usually have 3 other teammates throwing everything and the kitchen sink at automaton encampments, so i felt like this was a fun option that didn't cripple the build and let me hit a bunch of breakpoints that might have been harder to hit with strafing runs. Plus 500 kg is great against striders and consecutive dropship deployments if i'm put into an awkward position by either. as for illuminate build guides there's definitely stuff that works for them, but idk how comprehensive a build can be atp in the game when the faction is clearly unfinished. Tbh they're such an easy faction at the moment that a specific build isn't super necessary, although i guess that's true for bots as well- automatons don't feel nearly as challenging as they did when super helldive was first introduced :(
Yep, not long after the squid update that hopefully comes within the next week. The presentation is literally done, but I don't want to record yet. I'd rather have it all in one video.
@Antique-nova well im following your reddit post since the last days, and I really liked the guard dog against them on diff 7. Hut since u said in the bugs video that's a skill issue ill just play what you play there
i mostly random lobby. this build has vastly improved my play as i now have the capacity to absolutely sherpa groups to victory and have fun doing it. any suggestions for armor in random bug drops? i have been using the ammo/reload speed light armor and enjoying it. the engineer armor is a close second for me. extra stuns is cool but a dead perc once they are spent. more time foraging effectively renders engineer a dead suit perc actually.....
Find my game improving quite a bit from your videos. Thank you!
Glad to help! Squids will come soon after the update in a few weeks and it's going to blow every other squid guide out the window.

Glad to hear it. I have a breakdown video exclusively for bugs. Have you checked that out?
I prefer the same armour I use for bots for bugs as well.
@Antique-nova the bug load out rocks, gl good information provided.
