Helldivers 2 is a 3rd person squad-based shooter that sees the elite forces of the Helldivers battling to win an intergalactic struggle to rid the galaxy of the rising alien threats. As a Helldiver, it’s your responsibility to combat these alien forces and protect your home planet and restore peace. In doing so, you’ll need to engage in high-stakes combat with an onslaught of alien lifeforms alongside your comrades. Players are able to select Stratagems, which are air drops players can call, which include cluster bombs, sentry guns, shield generators or supply pods containing limited-use special weaponry. It’s hilarious, smartly designed, and intense whether you’re playing solo, with a squad of other random Helldivers, or serving up a nice hot cup of Liber-tea across the galaxy with your friends and spreading that sweet democracy!

Don't sleep on vitality booster. Allows you to take considerably more damage. It is essentially just a +HP booster.
Very true! I always make sure I've got my stamina enhancement booster, but if my squad are communicating with each other I'll always recommend the vitality booster as the 2nd or 3rd most needed booster! 🫡
It is essentially a damage reduction boost rather than a flat hp boost
@@DP-wf8wsas HP is a measure of the damage you can take before dying, this is redundant
@@Pyromaniac77777 But it is accurate
It’s up to preference in my opinion because sometimes your resupply is left in the enemy lines when you play solo
I just started using that armor for bots 2 days ago. I had been running a full heavy armor with the same passive and when doing a collection inspection I realized I had the Enforcer that was close to what I was using but just a hard faster. It's been working great.
Used it and a heavy machine gun to secure squad extraction last night during a particularly nasty bot raid. Holds up really well under heavy fire and turns missiles into ping pong paddles.
Orbital precision strike all day. Once you figure out the timing its stronger the the railcannon strike with a bigger aoe then the 500k. With the ship module its almost always up. People sleep on it because its such an early stratagem but its honestly s tier right into helldive.
It kills everything except gunship factories.
Definitely agree with you, I think a lot of people (myself included) sleep on it due to its learning curve with timings etc, but like you said if you can get that timing down its a great stratagem to use! 🫡
Surprisingly basic punisher is amazing against bots - chaff gets cleared even midrange and stuns for days!
Love that gun
Agreed. I would like to say the spray and pray would be good but reg breaker still out performs it.
This is so close to what i already run and i would only change the armor, swap out the mortar and booster.
I mostly run solo so the armor i take is the Trailblazer scout set for the increased movement speed, stealth buff and radar ping.
The Jetpack to me is invaluable to get into bases undetected and can help break a pursuit by simply jumping over a wall. There's also the added benefit that nearly all extractions become trivial with a Jetpack, simply lie down on top of the tallest piece of terrain in the area and you can easily stealth-extract. Even easier if you abuse pelican-1's guard-mode to clear the area.
As for the booster i tend to go for the UAV booster to help me avoid almost all enemy patrols as i move around the map.
A very decent build! Especially for solo play 🫡
Favorite armor against bots lately has been medium armor with the extra padding. Feel like a boss being able to take that extra damage
Eagle airstrike orbital rail canon strike 500 KG and auto canon with vitality and the sickle with the revolver
Hey, great video man, as someone who's primarily played bugs so far, I really enjoyed this Build Video. Since I wanna get started on bots, obviously without a lot of prior experience, it was concise, but still elaborate enough to understand not just what Equipment and Stratagems you need, but also why they're good! I'm definitely subscribing.
Really appreciate the great feedback! Let me know how you get on with the build 🫡
@@BlaggerYT I just played a round with it and it went really well!
@lemonjuiceboi1034 Good to hear and thanks for the sub 🫡
Plasma punisher is pretty sweet against bots
Been my main primary for bots since it released!! I think it just needs slightly more weak spot dmg and it will be perfect! Great to clear small guys and run autocannon for everything else.
I like the emancipator exosuit, good panic button
It don't do anything tho, just takes out a bunch of chaff and devastators and even that only if you're lucky enough to not get spammed by a couple rocket devs, which is quite the norm on difficulty 7+
@@TheKayShawn idk, I play on 7 and it's pretty helpful for killing hulks and any devastators. Of course, I use cover with it
I can explain by giving the right and logical arguments , why plasma punisher is the best weapon against automatons. The first reason, is that the shield of the devistators will usually give you a ricochet if the weapon is not energy based or explosive ( ex. Eruptor) , so your inly option is to aim for the head . The second reason , is that you always have to hit the enemies directly in order for them to deal some damage , whereas the explosive weapon and the energy based weapons, might damage them even if you shoot near them ( that is why the eruptor was the best weapon brfore nerfing it). So, based on the fact the the plasma punisher stuns the enemies , and also has a greater damage and ammunition capacity than the scorcher its the goat.
Since the update, you can hit gunships far more easily too. It used to be almost impossible, now I can do it semi-consistently. Haven’t done proper testing but it seemed to be 2-3 shots to a thruster killed.
I’ve been using it since it released, more kills with it than any other weapon. Truly the goat
I have yet to unlock the plas punisher but I can easily say that the Jar 5 is the second-best if you're right about Plas punisher. Chaff takes 1 shot and devastators get stunned as hard as they get from an Autocannon, and they go down in 1-2 well placed shots. Jar takes down gunships, tanks, mortars, and pretty much everything.
Surprisingly enough. I've been running Jar against the bugs and it does awesome there as well, basically like a support weapon whilst a flamethrower or an arcthrower are the primary.
@@TheKayShawn JAR is excellent, has been ever since that buff it got (and it was already pretty good before that). I don’t use it much but it’s a sick weapon vs both bugs and bots. That explosive damage can pop spewers which is very nice
@@Pyromaniac77777 yes and it makes easy work of stalkers as well, super solid.
@@TheKayShawnI only play jar 5
And against gunships it can take it down but it’s not recommended it takes too long .
Lately I've been rocking:
- light or medium armor with fortified
- pummeler (scorcher is great too)
- grenade pistol my beloved
- stun grenades
- recoilless rifle
- basic eagle airstrike (the goat)
- 380mm or orbital laser depending on mission type
- and the autocannon sentry whenever the 4th slot is available
Very nice build as it covers all areas!
What makes you go with the Recoilless Rifle over the AMR or AC? Personal preference? 🫡
@@BlaggerYTI tend to go for weapons that require backpacks when there's only 3 strategem slots, so when someone else already has an anti tank option I'll gladly take the AC.
Love the AMR aswell, but i only take it when i can run a backpack alongside it.
And yes I just adore the recoilless so it's my go to option.
I do exactly this but I love the Punisher Plasma
Punisher Plasma is a very satisfying weapon to use! 🫡
my personal build is: eagle airstrike, orbital lazer, Quasar Cannon, and Shield Generator Pack
A very nice build! 🫡
Sexy load out my brother
Solid all around build!
Quasar Cannon bugs me. Like i get it. Its the best in the field for anti-tank and armor. But that's only cuz the other weapons under perform or need a back pack slot to work properz quasar just replaced railgun for end game support weapon. Makes me sad we dont have more options.
@@reaper_exd7498 It's not OP like it used to be but I agree, it's not the most exciting.. I disagree that it's the best for anti tank or heavy armor, I believe there are several others suited just as well for that (EAT, Recoilless, SPEAR, Airburst, Anti Materiel) depending on different circumstances. When Quasar was ridiculous, I never even wanted to use any other stratagem, so at least there's that. I am curious to see what's included in the 100+ changes.
My fav bulld
Dominator
Senator
Stuns grenades
Heavy or medium explosive resistant armor
Autocannon
380mm barrage
Air strike
Last stratagem feel free to take anything but I prefer Orbital precision, orbital EMS, or 500kg
Looks like a very decent build! 🫡
Good build. Personally I like the auto cannon and plasma punisher more. Also the 380 over the orbital laser. Yes less accurate but just as devastating and infinite uses.
I’m not very good/don’t like AMR very much. So I use auto cannon or some form of antitank. Other than that, that’s what I have found work best too. After running the EMP mortar instead of a shield backpack for a while, I firmly believe this is the way to go. No need for a backpack when the enemies can’t fire at you.
Nvr thought of the emp against bots. Not sure why i didnt. Will give it a try
Don’t get me wrong, this is brilliant. But I like this. *points to HMG emplacement with the bubble shield*
The AC fits my build fine and rarely use the AMR since I rely on the AC for utility too. Also, you can bust open containers with the AMR but not factories. I use the plasma shotgun now, mostly since the eruptor nerf. The rest of my kit is leaning towards heavy kills and artillery shelling.
Love your build. They complement each other.
The AC is definitely a great weapon and I normally find the choice is between that and the AMR most times when facing the bots. Can't go wrong with either and it's down to personal preference 🫡
i use the 500kg (Sometimes switch it out with railcannon strike), eagle airstrike, AMR, and the supply pack for the ammo, stims, and grenades
I use the sickle as my primary, the senator as my secondary, and i take any kind of armor that gives me extra stims
Sounds like a great build to run to keep you well supplied and healed!
How are you taking out bot fabricators when your stratagems are re-arming?
I assume you're using either the standard grenade or impact grenade? If so, it looks like a very solid build! 🫡
@@BlaggerYT yeah i use the impact and i just pray that it makes it into that small little vent
While the Eruptor isn’t as great as it used to be, it now one shots Striders from the front and two shots any Devastator type (one if headshot of course)
I like the plasma shotty but I didn't unless the Plas 1 for no reason so I'll give it a try.. This build is similar to what I run but instead of the AMR I use the laser cannon for the hulks and tanks etc..
My favorite build is a little different but similar
Dominator
Grenade pistol
Stun grenades
Heavy/medium fortified armor
Airstrike
Laser/railcannon strike
Railgun
Shield pack
Sounds like a good build!
What makes you want to run the railgun over the AMR? 🫡
I would LOVE to be able to customize sights on rifles. At the very least, a zoom function for snipers and the AMR
It would be cool if there were different loadouts/ build slots for us to pre-config.
Yeah It would be great if that implemented this! 🫡
Sleeping on the Plasma Punisher
If you are not head shorting with counter sniper you ain’t living. One shot devastators with a primary that feels and fires good.
Pretty similar to what I run into bot missions. Same armor, but a couple of other tweaks.
Plasma Punisher, Redeemer, Stun Grenades.
Supply Pack, AMR, Eagle Airstrike, Orbital Precision Strike.
Booster just depends on what others are running, but the big 3 are obviously Stamina, Vitality, and the Hellpod Optimization. I'll always just pick whichever one of those haven't been picked yet.
I haven't actually unlocked the grenade pistol yet, so I haven't tried it. I use the redeeme a LOT, but I'll definitely give the grenade pistol a fair shake.
Definitely a great build! I see a lot of people like the Plasma Punisher too 🫡
Loving the content. When's the next video??
I'm trying to adjust to the AMR. (As an Autocannon nut) My only complaint about the EMS mortar is that it doesn't seem to have nearly the shots of the regular Mortar sentry. And maybe I'd rather just destroy them.
It's a bit of an adjustment using the AMR but once you've got your accuracy down it's an amazing weapon to have!
And although the EMS Doesn't fire as much as the regular mortar it does have a larger area of impact stopping a lot of enemies from attacking you and with the added bonus of not killing any of your fellow helldivers 👍
Autocannon over amr any day. Takes the same number of hits to kill hulks and devs, but it has way more ammo and can also take out fabricators and factory striders. I haven't ever used the amr on gunships, but the autocannon takes those out in 2 well placed shots as well
moved from ac to amr mostly now. ac main adv over amr is gunships. 4 shots to an engine doesnt feel good. but supply pack or jump pack with amr make the build much more versatile. only weakness is a double gunship factory, id have to avoid that solo.
its really hard to rid myself from champion of the people or democracy protects. ive been ragdolled taking no damage. also ive been redlined w no hemorrage and able to get to a supply box to get a stim. the other armor doest add up. as for the load out? pretty much exacti do like the sickle for the light and autocannon for everything else. orb laser and eagle airstrike is a must agreed. granade pistol agreed. depending on the mission i switch off for the last strat. ems mortor. or auto cannon sentry for me
380 over the orbital laser for base clearing
Was very close between the two for me and I slightly prefer the laser for its accuracy and less chance of killing teammates 🫡
EATs and Quasar to own every bot drop
The Quasar is very satisfying to use when taking down dropships for sure! 🫡
watch an 8 minute unskippable video to see this? No way
since the spear is fixed, do you think it would be worth taking? You didn't take a backpack, so you wouldn't have to lose anything by using the spear
Great question, I personally love the Spear and take it with me every now and then! But that said, it's not the the most practical and the Quasar and the EAT 17 are the better options but the Spear is incredibly satisfying to use and if you enjoy using it go for it! 🫡
Punisher plasma is great too for bots...no?
Yeah a great weapon to use too! Just personal preference 🫡
3:10 cashcrop and others have tested and have data how democracy protects performs better than fortified. If your saying this is the ultimate build and your audience is vet players, your going to need more than just saying that its your opinion when theres metadata out there on this stuff. At least acknowledging it or elaborating on your position would help.
Favorite loadout for bugs right now is 500KG, Orbital Gas, jet pack, and flame thrower. Run stuns, grenade pistol, and breaker incendiary.
Bots it’s 500kg, orbital precision, rail gun/AMR, and jet pack/shield backpack depending on the type of mission. Then I run dominator, stuns, and grenade pistol.
Similar loadouts but slight variations. Love it.
Both builds look very solid!
I'm yet to really use the Orbital Gas what do you like about it? 🫡
Ight man I'm gonna say it ThEy ArE nOt CaLlEd ClIpS tHeY aRe MaGs
Its still baffling to me how people mystake the word build with load out. Lol its just a load out from primary to stratagems. Just put yourself in the perspective of a soldier in the military. Nothing gives you "stats" but just reasourse and "equipment" =loadout. More than likely after my comment i will get either the youtuber or a goofy simp telling me otherwise. Pretty much proving me right that the word "build" is completely wrong in this game.
Impacts > stuns. I'd rather kill groups of devastators than stop them and waste ammo and time on them
stuns are far more useful against hulks than impacts are
