Some of the support weapons need to hit the bot drops at different spots to take them down. The recoilless does it easily but it’s best to aim at the center of the ship to kill the bots inside too. The expendables need to be aimed at the thrusters to take it down. It’s kinda neat! Anyone else notice stuff like that?
I've mained the arc thrower since HD1 and let me tell you, nothing is better for crowd control. Being able to just look in a general direction without aiming and probably hitting 3-4 enemies at a time is a blessing. Combine that with the ability to stun chargers, hulks, and striders and youve got a great weapon. The only big downside is the lack of killing ability against titans and factory striders, but that's what orbitals and 500kg are for anyway. Oh and we don't talk about gunships.
Airburst rocket launcher can deal with heavies as long as you can get the explosions to impact their weak points. It requires some practice and can be inconsistent, but it does work. Hulks, chargers, and impalers are not definitely not immune to it. Factory striders and bile titans, yeah probably forget them.
Arc thrower becomes exponentially better in a coordinated team, having *infinite stun* for your squad to just flat out not let the enemies fight is pretty solid
FYI: If you unlock the T5 upgrade for the Patriotic Admin Center, the Recoilless Rifle will get a significant solo reload buff, making it even better. ^^
Ah yes, the LAS-98 Laser Cannon. Truly my favourite support weapon. Pair that with a SH-32 Shield Generator Pack and you’re going to feel like a total badass
The Expendable Anti-Tank makes for a good backup for lighter support weapons. Unlike the Orbital Precision Strike, you don't have to rely on a timer to hit your probably-moving-quite-a-lot targets.
Jetpack and quasar is a no brainer, highly mobile and no need to reload or run out of ammo, will it one shot everything no but you can reposition yourself for a second shot from safety
The jump pack lets you jump, but it's so much more than that. You can get out of sticky situations, reposition at high ground to cover your teammates, get into places without being seen, jump on top of enemy units for a cool youtube short....
If you hate Bile Spewers like any Super Earth-respecting Helldiver, the grenade launcher two-taps them anywhere even with the AoE. This is especially good because they like to come in small groups, so firing a couple nades their way will easily dispatch both them and any nearby squishies.
Air burst can actually one shot hulks if you land a shot right behind them (by shooting through their legs), the clusters go up and hit the back weakpoint, which is enough to kill the hulk if you land your shot right Same goes for chargers and implaers, hit the ground underneath them and the clusters will deal quite a bit of damage to their undersides
For the Airburst rocket launcher after hours of practice (only on bugs, it's a lost cause on automatons) you can one shot any chargers / impalers extremely reliably, spore spewer and you can even one shot shrieker nest all 3 of them in one rocket. it's having an hard time on Bile tian but in emergency cases shooting it's head with it when in movement can sometimes dmg it greatly / finish it. it's a god a taking patrols down or any groups rly, it's your best buddy to avoid bug breaches by wiping groups instantly. The rule is to not be too greedy with it but taking the good opportunities.
Ballistic Dog is goated, love this guy Medium Armor Pen, High accuracy (I swear it just clicks on heads on bug side, and it does reasonably well on the bots side, that medium armor pen helps it so much) And honestly ammo economy on it is not really an issue considering you find ammo packs like every 2 minutes at POI's anyways, that with consistent resupplies, it basically has little to no downtime.
The arc-thrower is not ment to be a stand alone kill weapon, it's ment to be a offensive support weapon with True unlimited ammo. It can easily kill anything from a trooper to a devestator but is mostly great for locking down and suppressing bigger targets like hulks or chargers giving squadmats breathing room and time to bring out or reload their kill weapons against said target.
“ it can destroy anything uo to tanks, not sure why you’d use the EATs on those guys” Idk man, if only there were a weapon for dedicated anti-tanks Grenade launcher is also pretty good at denying dropships a majority of their troops. Just launch a few up at the center
can't believe you skimmed right over the jump pack 💔it absolutely requires a major change in playstyle to get the most out of it but never getting pinned down and having new routes to every objective is really useful once you learn how to use it
first!
With this pin as confirmation, you are first!
youre stinky
Instructions unclear; Break Action Shotgunned the entire map with zero deaths
This man gets it. Best weapon in the entire game.
Could work with some builds
Guys will do anything before they go to therapy… (you’re a G for that but I am scared)
I love using the break action on super Helldive. The good old "get mah gun!" build.
My favorite moment with the AMR was a hulk coming around the corner, and I stood my ground and point blank hipshot it twice in the head.
Pro tip: aim the airburst between the hulk's legs so it explodes either underneath or behind them, super consistent oneshot
That makes me hurt just thinkin about it.
The ball buster

Bring backpack and precision orb/thern to take care of heavies too
@@ferro9926 At the right angle you can 3 tap a hulk too. Or use them as a lightning rod too

I got the Marksman rifle, Shield Pack and Quasar Cannon for the maximum Halo LARP
We'll get that ODST game eventually...

Also the guard dog will switch shoulders if you press the swap camara button.
The fact that the spear can lock onto a strider at all is weird..
It can also lock onto Brood commanders
@ again, whhhhhhhhy
Man, im too old to laugh at the fart sounds explosions, yet I still do.
"You leave enemy Automotons looking like Gojo" 😭💀

Great tip for steriliser and dog breath, dont use them.
i didnt need to be shot in the liver with that gojo joke
Just to give my man validation
Yes, the amr is the best gun in the game and iwas totally expecting you to call it the worst, I'm glad i assumed wrong
The jump pack lets you jump, but it's so much more than that. You can get out of sticky situations, reposition at high ground to cover your teammates, get into places without being seen, jump on top of enemy units for a cool youtube short....
but most importantly, it lets you jump.
@robinstheles Truer words have been said
The seaside hill music is completely uncalled for. But completely fitting XD
Gerudo Valley for the soundtrack is *chefs kiss*
IF NOBODY GOT ME, I KNOW MY AUTOCANNON GOT ME
CAN I GET AN AMEN?

Can’t wait for the smart editions
;( me too
as a fellow AMR enjoyer i can only agree 4:48
Saw the title and subscribed before watching

The unweildly nature of the HMG can mostly be fixed by equipping the viper commandos armor.
I'm addicted to that shi, help 😭
Dude forgot about the ballistic shield, how could you, it's so good against the bots
Will not be tolerating arc thrower slander btw

Why only bots?
gonna do one on bugs
Shameful. Didn't even mention the flamethrower.
