mannnn I absolutely love trying out new builds and finding new fun ways of playing helldivers... really helps to keep things fresh in a game that can get a bit repetitive at times. Highly recommend u guys try out some new builds if you're the kinda player (like I used to be) who runs pretty much the same build every single mission. If u wana check out some of my other fun themed builds, have a look at some of these vids: Automaxxing (autocannon build): ruclips.net/video/9Yaq-MDhK8Y/видео.html Laser God (4 x laser build): ruclips.net/video/YLLtZLSXsk8/видео.html My close look at the buffed Purifier + my purifier build: ruclips.net/video/TxgwkyaarKQ/видео.html How I use the JAR5 Dominator incl. dominator build: ruclips.net/video/_JUAQtGuoAg/видео.html Enjoy
They keep trying to buff the guard dog by increasing the damage and durable damage but what it really needs is a bigger magazine and double the reload speed
One big issue is that the GD Rover, while having less damage, does everything the GD does but better. If they don't want to up the mag size, maybe give it the Liberator Penetrator statline. At least then it would be effective against tougher enemies
My MG build is Supply Pack, Precision Strike, Airstrike, Stun Grenades and of course, MG-43. This gives me essentially unlimited ammo, and I can still take down the occasional heavy. For Primary I'll often take something like one of the shotguns which gives good close range support, or the Eruptor which is great for taking down nests, since the MG is good enough for swarms.
Giv the explosive crossbow a try. Eruptor is fine but xbow is Silent meaning if you don't want to be noticed taking out the nests or fabs you can start the fight quiet before blowing the lid off with the big guns
You can take Eruptor against Bile Spewers & Brood commanders & for bug hole closing, then a redeemer for smaller targets Supply pack for just being unkillable (Peak physique armor ability for better comfort with a machine gun) Plasma punisher & 110 MM rocket pods / Any other AT stratagem capable of destroying Bile titan's armor, then aim its meat to kill it Change machine gun sentry to a rocket one to deal with the heavies Take 500 kilo eagle instead of gatling barrage to deal with heavies Or just go nuts and take Gatling & Machine gun sentries, resupply pack, machine gun, redeemer and Breaker Incendiary to be the true god of BULLET
Give the senator a go when you run a light pen shotgun. It cracks head and leg armor on elite units. If you miss too many out of 6 shots to pop the heads of everything in front of you, the armor being cracked lets your shotty do it. You aren't doing stun grenade and grenade pistol though?
Themed builds are so much fun. Sometimes it's ok to be non optimal - just go for a vibe and make it work. I really want to try a fire build - flamethrower, inc breaker, inc grenades, inc mines, napalm strike. It won't be optimal but it will be funny.
yeh iv been thinkin of makin a vid about that kinda build.. the only problem is that mines are not really usable in groups, cos too many team kills.. and so u can only really use them in solo play... which aint my vibe at all really hope they add a fire sentry or EXO soon so we can have a fully viable fire build
Woah, I love the strafing run . It absolutely shreds, especially bugs. They take out shrieker nests in one hit, they damage heavy units and can take them out in a pinch.
Your method of explanation is very beautiful, and your style is wonderful, as if you are a teacher. You even put a written explanation in the video. You have all my respect. Your brother is an Arab who lives in Saudi Arabia. Thank you, sir. ❤
Strafing run is an amazing eagle call in and saying otherwise is super slander towards Eagle 1, our most prized gun in the sky, this is a warning, you only get one.
Against the bots, the quick-cooldown EMS sentry will generally serve you better than carrying stun generates now that you can allegedly specify its target, so I'd do that with the orbital rail strike and normal grenades alongside your weapon choices... but that said, damn, I love your commitment to the bit by sticking with the theme. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Nice video, I've been using a similar build recently because I love MGs and got tired of using the flamethrower all the time. Still working on getting the grenade pistol, and I usually bring the laser drone and either the 500KG or Railcannon instead of gatling. The MG is just way too fun.
Love this! Been wanting to do a bullet raining build for a while now. For bugs I've been doing a blitzer/rover combo and I'm seeing pretty crazy results. It's tough to play the blitzer without the rover is my only complaint so far. Just not a lot of range and stopping power, but the stagger is great!
Window Vulnerability is my go-to for killing Chargers, without spending grenades. While it's a bug, I'd really like for it to become a feature skillcheck, just making it more consistent. You can do it practically with any weapon. My initial go-to was Stalwart, until buffed other MG's with faster reload speeds and fixed Peak Physique. It works something like this: Let the charger slide past you and shoot it's hind leg. If the leg is not taking dmg - shoot the sack and then try leg, damaging sack may expose the leg to damage. Once you see that hind leg is taking damage, front legs may also start taking damage, making it easier if the bug turned around and is chasing you again. As a result, in total you may spend much less time and bullets killing chargers, especially if there are a lot of them. It is really easy to do on basic Chargers, and interestingly enough that it's quite a bit harder, but still possible, to do on Behemoths, just requires a bit better timing (so I guess it kinda is a skill-based feature now :D). However, overall it requires good positioning to use successfully, otherwise you might end up slamming into walls hard, especially with Behemoth Chargers. Stunning the bug may prevent vulnerability from coming up, as it ideally needs to be sliding. Funnily enough, you can see Mogz damaging exposed legs by accident at around 9:23 as the bug slid a bit forward, showing that the window was there.
My go-to is Supply Pack with Mg-43, plus Railcannon and 500KG to drop on anything my MG can’t deal with, heavy armor, HE grenades and grenade pistol for Fabs and Holes, and either the breaker incendiary for bugs, or either the Adjudicator or Eruptor for bots. Gotta have that extra little medium armor pen option for when my MG needs to be reloaded and I’ve got like, 5 devastators breathing on my face.
You can sacrifice the Machnine Gun Sentry for Precision Strike or Rocket Pods for the Bile Titans if you don't want relying on anyone from the squad. Btw, all machine guns now shred, Stalwart, HMG. Atm the loadout I use most is: Suit with Peak Physique Perk (light for bugs, heavy for Automatons) Dominator, P19 Redeemer, Stun Gren Orbital Presicion, Napalm Airstike, Barrage and Autocannon. You can use a auto cannon Sentry but in my case I really dislike to use them. In this loadout you shred medium armor, you deal with Chargers with the AutoCannon, you can use Precision for Titans and as for the kill counter (if you really care for this) just throw a barrage or Napalm spot on a breach and enjoy. 😊
Damn it, I liked the idea. But I am not ready to completely abandon the anti-tank options and perhaps I will replace the backpack with a high-precision strike or 110 millimeter missile blocks. Well, as a personal weapon, I'll take something more specific, since I'll have a machine gun at the core anyway. Hmm... I think some kind of plasma weapon is good for this, especially with 110mm blocks. Oh my God, I'm really excited about this idea.
@@Starshina200 For bots, I've been trying this build lately, and IMO, if you are a machine gun player, this the combination to play. This combo shines on the bot units people hate the most: Medium Infrantry. You'll find it's really, really good at killing groups of medium infantry. The strategy is this: use the Punisher to stagger/soften up medium-armored enemies (Strider Scouts, Devastators and the Chainsaw Berserkers). Then quick switch to the MG43 and lay waste to them while they're stunned and immobilized. Primate: Punisher Support: MG43 Stun Grenades Armor w/Engineering Kit Perk (for MG recoil, and the six grenades). Your stratagems should give you a way to kill Fabricators, as well as Hulks/Tanks/Factor Striders. Orbital Rail Cannon or Rocket Pods... paired with Precision Orbital Laser or Eagle Airstrike. I like to use Orbital Rail Cannon and Eagle Airstrike. It really depends on the mission and your team. If you don't have the Punisher, a high stagger weapon like the JAR-5 Dominator, or the R-36 Eruptor can do as a replacement. Save the stun grenades for Hulks, and occasions/emergencies when you need them for a big group of enemies. Lone Gunships, you can shoot them down with some patience and cover, by hitting their little engines. Keep a close eye on your target reticule to make sure your shots are hitting the armored engines, and not deflecting off the body of the gunship. Groups of gunships are more difficult, and will surround you if you're not careful. Something to think about. Tanks, you will have to put a full magazine of the MG43 into the heatsink to kill. This seems like a tall order, but might be surprised how often you can pull it off. You can switch to 900 RPM before you assault the tank. You can also take out one of the treads, and immobilize it... but this soaks up a lot of ammo too. So you'll want a stratagem (or a teammate) who can deal with Tanks. The primary/support weapons cannot deal with tanks from the front. Factory Striders, I still don't really have a good strategy with this build. I know it's possible to kill them w/the MG43, via shooting their belly, but I've never gotten it to work. The MG43 really struggles to knock out the Factory Striders front turrets under its chin. So, again, select stratagems (or teammates) who can handle Factor Striders.
@@wolfumz Since scatter is not active for bot missions, I would recommend swapping Railcannon for Precision Strike instead. Precision Strike is overall better against Factory Striders because 1) it has a much shorter cooldown, 2) call-in time makes Precision Strike relatively easy to use, 3) Precision Strike is manually aimed so it won't target the Strider's cannon turret unlike Railcannon and because of 3), 4) you can throw down both Precision Strike and Eagle Airstrike to nearly instantly kill a Factory Strider
@@wolfumz Also personally, I like the default MG a lot, but against swarms of medium infantry or huge concentrations of fodder there is still no better option than the Grenade Launcher.
Ive been running machine guns since the game has come out. machine guns are underrated, and i still have so much fun using them to destroy hoards of bugs.
I use Mg-43, auto cannon sentry, eagle air strike and orbital precision strike. Its a good balance for me. Also i use the adjudicator, the grenade pistol and incendiary grenades. It helps with crowd control.
My own setup is very similar, but i replace the machinegun turret with a patriot exo and the rover with a supply pack, allows me to have tons of ammo, stims and nades. Plus patriot exo very cool
The HMG emplacement actually has pretty good utility for destroying buildings like shrieker nests from a safe distance in one call down. I don't use it for actual fights unless we are on an objective with a decent position for it. Also I recently killed a low hp bile titan with a laser canon by shooting the green underside of the big tail section, so anything with similar penetration should be able to kill a titan on it's own.
I just realised something fun; could do ‘BORDERLANDS’ themed load outs. Maybe for this video series or for elsewhere . . It occurred to me because this loadout is almost what I would pick for a VLADAF themed loadout. I think the only thing I would change is swap out the Grenade pistol for the automatic pistol. For a TORGUE loadout, you’d have the grenade pistol, and the grenade launcher, and perhaps the bolt action as a primary since it’s explosive . . ? There are heaps of things that would fit this loadout. Autocannon, EAT, Commando launcher, rocket sentry . .
Damn it, I liked the idea. But I am not ready to completely abandon the anti-tank options and perhaps I will replace the backpack with a high-precision strike or 110 millimeter missile blocks.

I think some kind of plasma weapon is good for this, especially with 110mm blocks. Oh my God, I'm really excited about this idea.
uhhh its accuracy is incredible lol it constantly snipes units in the head for me and yeh almost never kills the user but yeh it should have infinite ammo (even if it has to constantly reload - to balance it with the laser drone).. or AT LEAST resupply its ammo using ammo crates. Currently can only resupply it with supplies, which is just ridiculous
ATM I’m running supply pack + heavy machine gun against the bots and literally killing EVERYTHING. Berserkers are nothing, scout striders only take a few shots to the legs, devastates die almost *instantly*, hulks only take a couple well placed shots to the eye (pretty easy at mid-close range). Can shoot down gunships with a bit of fire at their engines. Even tanks, cannon turrets and freaking factory striders die in like 2 seconds of fire at their weak spots. New heavy mg is CRAZY
@@Mogz-hd oh no I didn't even realize it was the full teams re-supply. If you can manage to shoot or call an orbital down in the same spot, sometimes the explosion from the drop pod can fling the desired items down to you. And it can be a great way to get a turret, especially a mortar, in a safe position.
change backpack for supply pack and you could hold trigger for no reason (more bullets = more fun) and maybe use thermite nade or something and you have heavy killing . Side note have to use redeemer side arm and either knight or liberator carbine for same reason as before still pretty effective against bugs a least and very fun
yeh that was my original loadout supply backpack instead of the guard dog.. and then knight or liberator for primary.. but yeh switched them out. supply backpack is okayyyy but its a bit selfish cos i always end up taking my tm's supplies. so yeh i decided to go for the more 'team oriented' approach, which this build is anyway.. and go drone instead
I know it doesn't fit in this build but the HMG emplacement is so strong against bugs and bots. Bring some AT weapons or stratagems and when there is a breach or bot drop throw it down and happy mowing.
How long ago did you try the Strafing run? Since they buffed it, it’s really strong, like it wrecks devastators and packs of troopers! Highly recommend giving it another try. I might end up switching out Gatling Barrage with it. Either that or I’ll use Strafing run for bots and barrage for bugs
tried it after the buff. preferred the gatling barrage. iv honestly never seen anyone use it ever so i didnt think that would be a controversial opinion haha.. getn lots of comments about that opinion tho! but yeh aight il give it another go i guess. Just found it kinda useless in most situations n would always prefer a diff air strike/orbital
i remember accidentally joining a difficulty 6 mission with this build as a lvl 150. and the host was like wtf was i doing and kicked me. i didnt even call my stratagems down yet xDDD
am going lately Supply pack,mg43 or stalwart depending if an other has the mg43, Gatling barrage last one either to kill heavies orbital strike or for more light to medium clearing that mg emplacement you can call out
"The Guard dog is probably the most slept on stratgem in the game" Yeh, I've been telling people since it got +30% damage and the rover -30% damage. Only to be bombarded with huge blocks of text by some moron who have never used it, I'm an idiot, I'm not being objective, I'm a stupid noob being carried by my team, I only play the easy difficulties even though I'm breezing through 9s with the MG-43, Guard Dog, Autocanno sentry and Orbital Precision (500kg if orbital scatter).
Thanks for the build, looking forward to try it ingame. Is it possibile to swap the machine gun for stalwart? If im not mistaken i believe that the stalwart have higher RPM, but maybe its light armor pen.
yeh the only issue with stalwart is the low armor pen.. if u take that, then i think u'd need a medium armor pen primary.. so.. dominator i guess would be best. edit: or adjudicator cos faster fire rate.. fits better with the "Fast firing" theme of the build actually that was one of my early considerations for this build.. was gona do adjudicator + stalwart. then decided to make it more of a MG themed build n went MG + mg turret instead (n then sickle for primary)
@@Mogz-hd yeah that makes sense, i think the peak physique armor passive will fit very nice with this build. how about a fire build for next video? flamethrower feels OP, specially against chargers.
I being using the heavy mg with peak physique armor for sone days now. I wanne give this build a try today gonna be allot more snappy with peak physique But i have a feeling i am.gonna be swapping guard dog for supply backpack. To compensate for ammo / nades and supply teams running spear etc..
Waaaaaait a minute. I clicked a video and instantly thought "I know that voice but this isn't rocket league". So Mogz's spreading democracy too. That's cool 😄
strafing run slandar won't be tollerated. good bile damage, good at softening bug breaches, and takes out shrieker nests and spore towers. I love the strafing run so useful for taking out annoying bug structures.
This is what's called a hyperfocused anti horde build. And yes, it makes you completely useless on higher difficulties. Not only are you not helping by shooting the sacks under the bile titan, you are actively making it harder to kill because it will no longer expose it's main weakpoint.
Praying they ditch the 2 current guard dogs for customisable ones. Like you can take most of the guns primary and secondary or Heck even Support types, strap them onto the GD but it's a nerfed version for variety eg:machine gun GD with either spray/pray/flame, or even a mini flame thrower or mini pellet grenades.. I'm dreaming but you never know.
@Mogz-hd its a really good especially with the supply pack, if teammates run anti armor you can handle all the swarming enemies really well with napalm and orbital strikes for chargers
I’m passing. Having to perform some elaborate tricks to take down a single charger is just not my cup of tea, especially when support weapons like flamethrowers, RRs and Quasar cannons exist. Gatling barrage is the only thing I can get behind here. MG is kinda meh and doesn’t take down heavies reliably (literally the point of support weapons) sentry has way too big of a cooldown for how little it does on the battlefield (even if it doesn’t get run over by a charger it only has the ammo to kill 10 scavengers) and the non laser guard dog is reloading more often than it’s shooting
i can't lie i can never call loadouts in this game "builds" i always call them roles like i'd just call this a Squad Automatic Gunner to make myself feel better lol
MG-43 is great, but nothing will stack your kill count higher than using Gas and Napalm on big breaches. Now if you combine gas, napalm, the MG-43, and a supply pack, then everything in a 5 mile radius will cease its undemocratic existence.
i might try this. I wana make a "max kill count" build so maybe i'll consider that loadout im not sure about the supply backpack tho.. i find thats kinda redundant since i never really run out of ammo b4 i can resupply again.. also it just means im constantly stealing all the resupplies n leaving my tms without ammo... maybe ... mg + gas + napalm + mg/gatling turret?
Maximum dakka: Knight (Liberator Carbine for base edition books) Redeemer Stalwart Gatling sentry HMG Emplacement Machine Gun Sentry Who cares about anything else??
I really like this game I really prefer the first cuz that's the one that runs best on my computer there's only one thing that I don't really like about helldivers 2 is that they keep on nerfing fun play styles I wouldn't have an issue with out of its multiplayer and it was just overpowered but this is PVE install the higher difficulties are a pain in the ass when those weapons are at their peak and the ones that were I felt like they over Nerf them I want to know if this is your opinion or am I the only one with this opinion still like the game though awesome bulid though
Couch brigade : I've done the highest number of kills, I rulez ! Pro HD player : Oh, that guy had 800 kills ? he's dead weight ! It's a time and resource management game which plays as a shooter. The less the kills, means the more efficient at accomplishing the mission one is. :) Edit : Also, Eagle Strafin' run ? If I can only take ONE red stratagem, I take this one. Can do shreiker's nest from a little distance, can get rid of a konga line chasing you, can be surprisingly effective on heavily armored enemies, many uses... Edit : The machine gun can damage titans from the front if back is unarmored. Like with other weapons, hit the joint of the shoulder where the armor is gone, you'll see the red marker signifying you're done full damage. Have a good one o/
oh maybe ur asking for me to elaborate ok i just think there are much better options with more commonly applied utility. and the way it fires in a straight line i just found to be rarely effective but ye tbh i dont have much exp with it
Great video! Are you open to doing a partnership promotion? We sell gaming laptops and you do helldivers content so it might be a good fit. I've emailed you with further details.
Why label the video MG43 bullet hell and NOT primary the Machine gun, you used the Sickle more often in the few minutes of footage.... XD, MG-43 rips open devestators, why would you swap to the sickle and try to get a head shot kill? XD
You lost me at no capability for killing bile titans. I have to have at least one thing that can kill everything on my load out I hate getting chased by titans and not having any options or praying I find a damaged nuke on the level especially if I got separated from my team mates
yeh.. well u can easily fill that bile titan gap by just replacing the lib drone or something with a railcannon strike or 500kg.. but ye just kills the whole BULLET HELL vibe
Typical bug player lol assumeing noone reads this play how u wanna play just saying bots are more fun for some people this build will have a hard time with bots as we can see the video is 90% bugs and 10% bots i started with bugs for the longest time i spended with bugs now im a bot fanatic as u may read as a 105+ hell commander i highly advice use tactics and dont engage every bot dont bring turrets they attract everything 380 and 120 are useless on large maps but again play how u wanna play just wish these youtubers played more against bugs since they spread propoganda for saying bots are hard bot req different approach bugs = kill everything "thats what i see everyone do thus dragging me in it to" bots = are think before u shoot im just old fart that plays with a very strong team 0 deaths and get missions done just sad to see lots of people are scared for bots ONLY if theres a major order they MIGHT come over to bots as a 105+ helldiver i like to join low lvl players and help them out but rarely do they use ANY form of coms what makes it harder to team up
this build sucks they need to make the pumeller stunlock chargers and instantly stun automatons again trash cope in the hidden nerf of pummeler that nobody talks about at all!
@@Mogz-hd yeah it was fun and interesting and it could only do one charger at a time and took atleast two mags. now it's useless against bugs, and automatons don't get single target stunned like they used to. it does not even equal greater balance, just another weapon forgotten about with the nerf
mannnn I absolutely love trying out new builds and finding new fun ways of playing helldivers... really helps to keep things fresh in a game that can get a bit repetitive at times. Highly recommend u guys try out some new builds if you're the kinda player (like I used to be) who runs pretty much the same build every single mission.

Pls make pyro build
Because you’re using stun you should try shooting the inside of the back leg. It should pop him even faster. (charger)
@@Mogz-hd i love trying new builds. But playing on helldive with just me and buddy means we need every strategem to carry its weight.
The first person to ever use a nonlaser guard dog.
i am a guard dog pioneer!
I saw it used a few times
Hate the Rover. Always gives me laser lobotomies
I'd happily use the regular one over the rover, if I could refill it with ammo boxes and not just supply packs
I primary use the liberator one too. The lazer one TKs too much. Plus the liberator one has a faster TTK and tends to go for head shots.
They keep trying to buff the guard dog by increasing the damage and durable damage but what it really needs is a bigger magazine and double the reload speed
agree
One big issue is that the GD Rover, while having less damage, does everything the GD does but better. If they don't want to up the mag size, maybe give it the Liberator Penetrator statline. At least then it would be effective against tougher enemies
I’m ngl the mellow acoustic guitar music got a chuckle out of me cause it sounded like a Helldiver recalling the good times with his squad. 😂
I was thinking the same thing. "Malevelon Creek? Man, you wouldn't understand if you weren't there in the sh*t..."

Giv the explosive crossbow a try. Eruptor is fine but xbow is Silent meaning if you don't want to be noticed taking out the nests or fabs you can start the fight quiet before blowing the lid off with the big guns
You can take Eruptor against Bile Spewers & Brood commanders & for bug hole closing, then a redeemer for smaller targets
Supply pack for just being unkillable (Peak physique armor ability for better comfort with a machine gun)
Plasma punisher & 110 MM rocket pods / Any other AT stratagem capable of destroying Bile titan's armor, then aim its meat to kill it
Change machine gun sentry to a rocket one to deal with the heavies
Take 500 kilo eagle instead of gatling barrage to deal with heavies
Or just go nuts and take Gatling & Machine gun sentries, resupply pack, machine gun, redeemer and Breaker Incendiary to be the true god of BULLET
Give the senator a go when you run a light pen shotgun. It cracks head and leg armor on elite units. If you miss too many out of 6 shots to pop the heads of everything in front of you, the armor being cracked lets your shotty do it.

In this loadout you shred medium armor, you deal with Chargers with the AutoCannon, you can use Precision for Titans and as for the kill counter (if you really care for this) just throw a barrage or Napalm spot on a breach and enjoy.

The strategy is this: use the Punisher to stagger/soften up medium-armored enemies (Strider Scouts, Devastators and the Chainsaw Berserkers). Then quick switch to the MG43 and lay waste to them while they're stunned and immobilized.
Primate: Punisher
Support: MG43
Stun Grenades
Armor w/Engineering Kit Perk (for MG recoil, and the six grenades).
Your stratagems should give you a way to kill Fabricators, as well as Hulks/Tanks/Factor Striders. Orbital Rail Cannon or Rocket Pods... paired with Precision Orbital Laser or Eagle Airstrike. I like to use Orbital Rail Cannon and Eagle Airstrike. It really depends on the mission and your team.
If you don't have the Punisher, a high stagger weapon like the JAR-5 Dominator, or the R-36 Eruptor can do as a replacement.
Save the stun grenades for Hulks, and occasions/emergencies when you need them for a big group of enemies.
Lone Gunships, you can shoot them down with some patience and cover, by hitting their little engines. Keep a close eye on your target reticule to make sure your shots are hitting the armored engines, and not deflecting off the body of the gunship. Groups of gunships are more difficult, and will surround you if you're not careful. Something to think about.
Tanks, you will have to put a full magazine of the MG43 into the heatsink to kill. This seems like a tall order, but might be surprised how often you can pull it off. You can switch to 900 RPM before you assault the tank. You can also take out one of the treads, and immobilize it... but this soaks up a lot of ammo too. So you'll want a stratagem (or a teammate) who can deal with Tanks. The primary/support weapons cannot deal with tanks from the front.
Factory Striders, I still don't really have a good strategy with this build. I know it's possible to kill them w/the MG43, via shooting their belly, but I've never gotten it to work. The MG43 really struggles to knock out the Factory Striders front turrets under its chin. So, again, select stratagems (or teammates) who can handle Factor Striders.

Since scatter is not active for bot missions, I would recommend swapping Railcannon for Precision Strike instead. Precision Strike is overall better against Factory Striders because 1) it has a much shorter cooldown, 2) call-in time makes Precision Strike relatively easy to use, 3) Precision Strike is manually aimed so it won't target the Strider's cannon turret unlike Railcannon and because of 3), 4) you can throw down both Precision Strike and Eagle Airstrike to nearly instantly kill a Factory Strider
@@wolfumz
Also personally, I like the default MG a lot, but against swarms of medium infantry or huge concentrations of fodder there is still no better option than the Grenade Launcher.
Ive been running machine guns since the game has come out. machine guns are underrated, and i still have so much fun using them to destroy hoards of bugs.
I use Mg-43, auto cannon sentry, eagle air strike and orbital precision strike. Its a good balance for me. Also i use the adjudicator, the grenade pistol and incendiary grenades. It helps with crowd control.
My own setup is very similar, but i replace the machinegun turret with a patriot exo and the rover with a supply pack, allows me to have tons of ammo, stims and nades.
Plus patriot exo very cool
My favorite builds are when you use support weapons as your main source of damage and your primary is for specialty targets or spawners
The HMG emplacement actually has pretty good utility for destroying buildings like shrieker nests from a safe distance in one call down. I don't use it for actual fights unless we are on an objective with a decent position for it. Also I recently killed a low hp bile titan with a laser canon by shooting the green underside of the big tail section, so anything with similar penetration should be able to kill a titan on it's own.
I just realised something fun; could do ‘BORDERLANDS’ themed load outs. Maybe for this video series or for elsewhere . .
It occurred to me because this loadout is almost what I would pick for a VLADAF themed loadout. I think the only thing I would change is swap out the Grenade pistol for the automatic pistol.
For a TORGUE loadout, you’d have the grenade pistol, and the grenade launcher, and perhaps the bolt action as a primary since it’s explosive . . ? There are heaps of things that would fit this loadout. Autocannon, EAT, Commando launcher, rocket sentry . .
Damn it, I liked the idea. But I am not ready to completely abandon the anti-tank options and perhaps I will replace the backpack with a high-precision strike or 110 millimeter missile blocks. Well, as a personal weapon, I'll take something more specific, since I'll have a machine gun at the core anyway. Hmm... I think some kind of plasma weapon is good for this, especially with 110mm blocks. Oh my God, I'm really excited about this idea.
Tip: you are not affected by stun grenades while diving, so you can just throw a stun grenade at a charger while running at and diving past it.
nice build. will try! Could sub in the eagle strafing run for the orbital too. Or sub out the rover for the gatling sentry. OPTIONS!!!!
This guys gets it. All machineguns, everywhere. Brrrrrrt
frfr
I really like the stalwart i wish it had med armor pen the fast fire rate reminds me of the buzzsaw mg42 or any other bullet hose
For me I'd change the rover for a supply pack for infinite ammo and stims and kg bomb for self defence if a bile titan rushes you.
Guard dog is definitely slept on. I like it sometimes because it doesn't accidentally strafe you or your teammates nearly ever.
It has only 6 mags and "bad" accuracy. 😢
It needs 10 mags. 😊
uhhh its accuracy is incredible lol it constantly snipes units in the head for me
and yeh almost never kills the user
but yeh it should have infinite ammo (even if it has to constantly reload - to balance it with the laser drone).. or AT LEAST resupply its ammo using ammo crates. Currently can only resupply it with supplies, which is just ridiculous
The liberator drone needs a comparable ammo amount to the Stalwart, especially when compared with the laser drone which never reloads.
agree def needs more ammo in mag
ATM I’m running supply pack + heavy machine gun against the bots and literally killing EVERYTHING.
Berserkers are nothing, scout striders only take a few shots to the legs, devastates die almost *instantly*, hulks only take a couple well placed shots to the eye (pretty easy at mid-close range). Can shoot down gunships with a bit of fire at their engines. Even tanks, cannon turrets and freaking factory striders die in like 2 seconds of fire at their weak spots.
New heavy mg is CRAZY
The suppression fire build.
The starting run isn’t terrible my guy. Used right, it’s awesome.
i no likey
That person's supplies getting caught on the cave roof in the last milisecond 😂😭
lolll yeh that was so annoying actually lol
@@Mogz-hd oh no I didn't even realize it was the full teams re-supply. If you can manage to shoot or call an orbital down in the same spot, sometimes the explosion from the drop pod can fling the desired items down to you. And it can be a great way to get a turret, especially a mortar, in a safe position.
I love the MG emplacement, but it is very exposed to heavies.
Stalwart with supply pack means you can shoot basically forever
change backpack for supply pack and you could hold trigger for no reason (more bullets = more fun) and maybe use thermite nade or something and you have heavy killing . Side note have to use redeemer side arm and either knight or liberator carbine for same reason as before still pretty effective against bugs a least and very fun
yeh that was my original loadout
supply backpack instead of the guard dog.. and then knight or liberator for primary.. but yeh switched them out. supply backpack is okayyyy but its a bit selfish cos i always end up taking my tm's supplies. so yeh i decided to go for the more 'team oriented' approach, which this build is anyway.. and go drone instead
I know it doesn't fit in this build but the HMG emplacement is so strong against bugs and bots. Bring some AT weapons or stratagems and when there is a breach or bot drop throw it down and happy mowing.
My only problem with the HMG turret is instant death when it is destroyed. And it breaks down in turn from one or two missiles.
How long ago did you try the Strafing run? Since they buffed it, it’s really strong, like it wrecks devastators and packs of troopers! Highly recommend giving it another try. I might end up switching out Gatling Barrage with it. Either that or I’ll use Strafing run for bots and barrage for bugs
tried it after the buff. preferred the gatling barrage.
iv honestly never seen anyone use it ever so i didnt think that would be a controversial opinion haha.. getn lots of comments about that opinion tho!
but yeh aight il give it another go i guess. Just found it kinda useless in most situations n would always prefer a diff air strike/orbital
i remember accidentally joining a difficulty 6 mission with this build as a lvl 150. and the host was like wtf was i doing and kicked me. i didnt even call my stratagems down yet xDDD
the guard dog should replenish ammo from ammo boxes as well, idk why it does not, every back pack does
totally agree
the supply pack is pretty darn good with the mg43
am going lately Supply pack,mg43 or stalwart depending if an other has the mg43, Gatling barrage last one either to kill heavies orbital strike or for more light to medium clearing that mg emplacement you can call out
"The Guard dog is probably the most slept on stratgem in the game" Yeh, I've been telling people since it got +30% damage and the rover -30% damage. Only to be bombarded with huge blocks of text by some moron who have never used it, I'm an idiot, I'm not being objective, I'm a stupid noob being carried by my team, I only play the easy difficulties even though I'm breezing through 9s with the MG-43, Guard Dog, Autocanno sentry and Orbital Precision (500kg if orbital scatter).
welcome to my world. i told people the purifier was good and u shouldve seen the insane backlash, hate, and abuse i got. was unbelievable
Thanks for the build, looking forward to try it ingame.
Is it possibile to swap the machine gun for stalwart? If im not mistaken i believe that the stalwart have higher RPM, but maybe its light armor pen.
yeh the only issue with stalwart is the low armor pen.. if u take that, then i think u'd need a medium armor pen primary.. so.. dominator i guess would be best.
edit: or adjudicator cos faster fire rate.. fits better with the "Fast firing" theme of the build
actually that was one of my early considerations for this build.. was gona do adjudicator + stalwart.
then decided to make it more of a MG themed build n went MG + mg turret instead (n then sickle for primary)
@@Mogz-hd yeah that makes sense, i think the peak physique armor passive will fit very nice with this build.
how about a fire build for next video? flamethrower feels OP, specially against chargers.
@@Farzi2323 yeh iv been wanting to do a fire build for a while now. Might do that next :)
I being using the heavy mg with peak physique armor for sone days now.
I wanne give this build a try today gonna be allot more snappy with peak physique
But i have a feeling i am.gonna be swapping guard dog for supply backpack. To compensate for ammo / nades and supply teams running spear etc..
6:15 that joylike music is so contrast to the situation
hahaha fr
That backpack should really use the stalwart.
haha that would be so awesome
For a bullet build I would’ve thought of the redeemer as the secondary
yeh wasnt as useful tho so dropped it
Waaaaaait a minute. I clicked a video and instantly thought "I know that voice but this isn't rocket league". So Mogz's spreading democracy too. That's cool 😄
haha i am indeed! have been since launch :)
nice to see a fellow rocket leaguer over here :D
@@Mogz-hdTogether for managed democracy. Personally I like the flame build these days.
sideswiper since launch :)
Still waiting on a MG backpack strat that eliminates reloads.
rightttt, because it killed one beserker its slept on
ye
strafing run slandar won't be tollerated. good bile damage, good at softening bug breaches, and takes out shrieker nests and spore towers. I love the strafing run so useful for taking out annoying bug structures.
hahaha my bad
hmm ok i might have to give it another go then
What armor set is that?
That guard dog does more damage, and on hot planet is WAY better
This is what's called a hyperfocused anti horde build. And yes, it makes you completely useless on higher difficulties. Not only are you not helping by shooting the sacks under the bile titan, you are actively making it harder to kill because it will no longer expose it's main weakpoint.
its called fun bruv
and killing sack means no more spew. which is a good thing
also i used this with no issues at all in groups on difficulty 8. was great
The MG 43 is wildly based
Praying they ditch the 2 current guard dogs for customisable ones.
Like you can take most of the guns primary and secondary or Heck even Support types, strap them onto the GD but it's a nerfed version for variety eg:machine gun GD with either spray/pray/flame, or even a mini flame thrower or mini pellet grenades..
I'm dreaming but you never know.
amazing idea!
What ever build i do I always ALWAYS bring the rocket sentry
I love using the MG at the lowest RPM because it makes me feel like rambo with an M60 lmao
sameeee dude
@Mogz-hd its a really good especially with the supply pack, if teammates run anti armor you can handle all the swarming enemies really well with napalm and orbital strikes for chargers
Hmg emplacement is op
oh yeh its insane.. i just dont rly like sittin still lol
Bullet Heaven build
I’m passing. Having to perform some elaborate tricks to take down a single charger is just not my cup of tea, especially when support weapons like flamethrowers, RRs and Quasar cannons exist.
Gatling barrage is the only thing I can get behind here. MG is kinda meh and doesn’t take down heavies reliably (literally the point of support weapons) sentry has way too big of a cooldown for how little it does on the battlefield (even if it doesn’t get run over by a charger it only has the ammo to kill 10 scavengers) and the non laser guard dog is reloading more often than it’s shooting
What are you gonna do against titans?
talked about that in the vid my dude
heavy machingun can kill titans
i can't lie i can never call loadouts in this game "builds" i always call them roles like i'd just call this a Squad Automatic Gunner to make myself feel better lol
Ar guard dog also goes for headshots
fr
MG-43 is great, but nothing will stack your kill count higher than using Gas and Napalm on big breaches. Now if you combine gas, napalm, the MG-43, and a supply pack, then everything in a 5 mile radius will cease its undemocratic existence.
i might try this. I wana make a "max kill count" build so maybe i'll consider that loadout
im not sure about the supply backpack tho.. i find thats kinda redundant since i never really run out of ammo b4 i can resupply again.. also it just means im constantly stealing all the resupplies n leaving my tms without ammo...
maybe ... mg + gas + napalm + mg/gatling turret?
@@Mogz-hd The supply pack is necessary since you wanna crank up the MG-43 to 900RPM in order melt everything that isn't heavily armored.
Maximum dakka:
Knight (Liberator Carbine for base edition books)
Redeemer
Stalwart
Gatling sentry
HMG Emplacement
Machine Gun Sentry
Who cares about anything else??
I really like this game I really prefer the first cuz that's the one that runs best on my computer there's only one thing that I don't really like about helldivers 2 is that they keep on nerfing fun play styles I wouldn't have an issue with out of its multiplayer and it was just overpowered but this is PVE install the higher difficulties are a pain in the ass when those weapons are at their peak and the ones that were I felt like they over Nerf them I want to know if this is your opinion or am I the only one with this opinion still like the game though awesome bulid though
Don't you run out of bullets often?
nah almost never. thats why i keep the mg on lowest fire rate
Couch brigade : I've done the highest number of kills, I rulez !
Pro HD player : Oh, that guy had 800 kills ? he's dead weight !
It's a time and resource management game which plays as a shooter. The less the kills, means the more efficient at accomplishing the mission one is. :)
Edit : Also, Eagle Strafin' run ? If I can only take ONE red stratagem, I take this one. Can do shreiker's nest from a little distance, can get rid of a konga line chasing you, can be surprisingly effective on heavily armored enemies, many uses...
Edit : The machine gun can damage titans from the front if back is unarmored. Like with other weapons, hit the joint of the shoulder where the armor is gone, you'll see the red marker signifying you're done full damage.
Have a good one o/
yuh but killing bugs do be fun.
And. Gunships? What then?
duno didnt test. mayb death by gunship?
Why do you say the strafing run is terrible?
cos i think it is lol
oh maybe ur asking for me to elaborate ok
i just think there are much better options with more commonly applied utility. and the way it fires in a straight line i just found to be rarely effective
but ye tbh i dont have much exp with it
Great video! Are you open to doing a partnership promotion? We sell gaming laptops and you do helldivers content so it might be a good fit. I've emailed you with further details.
Why label the video MG43 bullet hell and NOT primary the Machine gun, you used the Sickle more often in the few minutes of footage.... XD, MG-43 rips open devestators, why would you swap to the sickle and try to get a head shot kill? XD
the main reason is because frogs are green sometimes
You lost me at no capability for killing bile titans. I have to have at least one thing that can kill everything on my load out I hate getting chased by titans and not having any options or praying I find a damaged nuke on the level especially if I got separated from my team mates
yeh.. well u can easily fill that bile titan gap by just replacing the lib drone or something with a railcannon strike or 500kg.. but ye just kills the whole BULLET HELL vibe
Starship troopers extinction is better
not good enough for u to get the name right it seems
Typical bug player lol assumeing noone reads this
play how u wanna play just saying bots are more fun for some people
this build will have a hard time with bots as we can see the video is 90% bugs and 10% bots
i started with bugs for the longest time i spended with bugs now im a bot fanatic as u may read
as a 105+ hell commander i highly advice use tactics and dont engage every bot dont bring turrets they attract everything
380 and 120 are useless on large maps
but again play how u wanna play just wish these youtubers played more against bugs since they spread propoganda for saying bots are hard
bot req different approach
bugs = kill everything "thats what i see everyone do thus dragging me in it to"
bots = are think before u shoot
im just old fart that plays with a very strong team 0 deaths and get missions done just sad to see lots of people are scared for bots ONLY if theres a major order they MIGHT come over to bots as a 105+ helldiver i like to join low lvl players and help them out but rarely do they use ANY form of coms what makes it harder to team up
this build sucks they need to make the pumeller stunlock chargers and instantly stun automatons again trash cope in the hidden nerf of pummeler that nobody talks about at all!
u think a primary weapon should stunlock chargers?
@@Mogz-hd yeah it was fun and interesting and it could only do one charger at a time and took atleast two mags. now it's useless against bugs, and automatons don't get single target stunned like they used to. it does not even equal greater balance, just another weapon forgotten about with the nerf
Everyone should be on bugs no 100,000,000 bugs to kill
