Here's a little trick for the AMR against the bots, if you shoot the strider on the leg joint, it breaks in 1 shot, forcing the rider to hop off, it will shoot at you as soon as it hops off, but it's easier to kill a skinny bot than a full strider, also, for the bigger bots like devastators, if you shoot their legs they die in 2-3 shots, in case you're having trouble hitting their head, heavy devastators have weaker armor on the backpack so if you can angle the shot well, they drop in 2 shots to the backpack.
I'd still take the extra half second or so to just aim my shot well and hit the oneshot headshot when using the AMR or Counter Sniper. It's not worth the ammo shooting the legs, especially with a marksman loadout where every bullet counts. For the heavy devastators go crazy though fuck those guys
@@Randomness662 I started bringing the Eruptor riffle specifically for those guys since the explosive damage still staggers them even if you hit the big ass shield, but yeah fuck those guys, they're worse than the Hulks.
gatling barrage can get rid of a fabricator but you have to get lucky. To that end, the eagle strafing run is on a similar level of how well it can deal with them.
incase you are unaware, after you turn off the jammer, you can drop a precision strike on it and destroy it. however at around 15:40 it gave me a thought to try purposefully get tank turret aggro to shoot at it lol so maybe perhaps a new trick up my sleeve
So if you want a precision strike to basically always hit a stragem jammer to brake it you can drop it in the little gap between the terminal and the actual structure here 11:48 works the charm every time I've landed it there
That first long distance hulk sniper was great. That grenade death out of nowhere had me lmao, your videos are the best. Amazing work on the gunships. You short-arm your throws though.
Love the solo content man, you inspired me to do it and I recently got the world record for the fastest solo helldive all clear on sabotage airbase in 15 mins, I’m looking forward to some more automaton helldives!
Sniper loadouts are fun and play such a niche that tickles the happy part of my brain but limited in use to automatons and likely Illuminate factions respectively.
The gatling barrage has an armor penetration of 5 on the projectile (Penetrates chargers and bile titans but not bile titans legs) and an armor penetration of 3 on the explosion of said projectile.
Inspiring. The hectic situations you had are what diff 4 looks like for me all the time. That aim. I need to practice 😬 I played Bots with Dominator+Autocannon most of the time since the Slugger nerf.
You should play a smoke loadout. The smoke is soooo much more effective now, you can literally cook a smoke grenade in your hand and let it explode for cover and they cannot see you even if you are inches from them
@@detriotswat for bots I usually run AMR and scorcher or plasma shotty with precision strike, eagle air strike and I switch between supply backpack or rocket turret
You’re right about the weapon response. You don’t need the perk from that armour for any of your weapons as handling was always good on the AMR and got fixed on the counter sniper prior to the release of that armour. I suggest you run that armour with the jar 5 and the auto cannon. It makes both weapons a lot better to handle and the combo pairs well against bots and even bugs. The main thing is it takes two good guns that would be great apart from their terrible handling and makes them both an absolute joy to use. As an alternative, running the Erupter as primary is also really nice as it has terrible handling but not with that armour.
9:20 I think they changed something because I'm seeing the optional objectives all spawning right on top of each other and often right by extraction, not always all of them but feels like more often than not there will be 3-4 all clustered round there.
the gatling generally fair poorly against bots since anything that doesnt hit their weakpoint makes them much harder to kill and vice versa. The bot infantry dont really need a gatling on them unless its a battalion of them. Personally i would have swapped gatling with the 380 to clear objs on their own
Hey, just wanna say, in case you see this Takibo, that you can use a percision strike to destroy strategum jammers, so in that first strategum jammer, you couldve just used a P strike to get the job done fast.
That's crazy you're able to use the Dilligence, I was just trying it yesterday and thinking "dang this sucks it doesn't even kill a brood in like 15 shots" lol great video!
I think recently they’ve increased the amount of grunt bots that spawn on higher difficulties, so they can dial back on the devastators and also bring more of a use to horde clearing weapons like the stalwart and airburst.
Lately I’ve been running explosive crossbow and jump pack when using the AMR. Crossbow is great for fabricators and staggers devastaters. For the other stratagems I’ll usually bring the 500 or the regular air strike, along with the laser or a barrage.
A build I like to run is Peak Physike and a max fire rate stalwart, I pair this with the B-1 pack, or a shield with the defender smg, along side a senator pistol. I also bring a gattling barrage and railcannon strike.
I dont play much bots.....where do you shoot them? Ran into one lastnight and had to fight my way into the base to manually shut it down. Quasar couldnt kill it. Am I thinking of the wrong thing?
Hey Takibo, new subscriber after finding your videos a few days ago. I love sniper style play but I'm still new, as you said it works great as part of a team. Had a question, what kinda DPI and in game sensitivity are you using for your mouse? Your shots are so smooth, I'm still trying to find a balance for this.
Stuns have been not working for me as well. Sometimes I notice the heavies especially will kick them away(chargers mostly), or they will bounce past the heavy as they charge at you(chargers and flamethrower hulks mostly since they are rarely stationary)
Gatling Barrage is pen 5 and explosion is pen 3. Devastator chests are pen 3 and the rest of them is lower. Problem is you have to score two directs hits or at least 4 close explosions to take one out. You could use it to soften Devastators, but as they can be one-shot with your primary or support, softening doesn't really help.
They did a stealth update to fix misaligned crosshair when noscoping with the on AMR in the last patch. I used the js app called Crossover and the in-game crosshair would frequently become misaligned. Now that doesn't seem to happen anymore.
Watching your play, i think the jar 5 is just so much more versatile than the diligence CS. I absolute love the AMR but it can become way too addictive to use lol
I can not watch these insane view angle settings anymore. It looks so weird! It is a shooter with such nice grapics and so many youtubers destroy it only to see a wider angle... Zero realism... Nevertheless your content is good so thank you anyway for that!
Runs the stun grenades/AMR build without the grenade pistol 😂 try out Dil. Counter sniper, grenade pistol, stun grenade, Eagle air, Eagle cluster, supply pack, AMR, and stamina booster. In group play I split from my team with no worries because I won’t need resupply… they can call it in every time without question.
16:45 now i finally know how to pronounce takibo 😁 Also, i love you and you're better than I'll ever be at this game but for the love of god how are you that bad at aiming stratagems! lol its absolutely infuriating to watch my dude
@@iandiederen9349 yeah exactly, I can dive from a 3 story building like a retard and take like 5% damage. But God forbid i have the gall to slowly walk off a rock and lose a 1/3 of my damn health
The game is still in a very healthy state a lot of those people played helldivers 2 because it was the popular game and then moved on to the next popular game
"Holy crap how am I still alive?"
Mortars: "And I took that personally."
That was comedy 😂

That early game shows how important it is to have at least 1 weapon to take out fabricator, instead of depending solely on orb / eagle strat.
Yeah its a little frustrating for solo play, Im required to bring the grenade pistol if I want to use any non-explosive support weapons
gatling barrage can get rid of a fabricator but you have to get lucky. To that end, the eagle strafing run is on a similar level of how well it can deal with them.
Probably slightly better due to the angle and concentration?
I didn’t know a Strafing run could take out fabricators. Might have to practice that
Another fun variation of this build is run supply pack and eruptor instead of the OGB and DCS. Gives you base clear and unlimited space meth.
incase you are unaware, after you turn off the jammer, you can drop a precision strike on it and destroy it. however at around 15:40 it gave me a thought to try purposefully get tank turret aggro to shoot at it lol so maybe perhaps a new trick up my sleeve
Happened to me once was quite funny
Same with command bunkers and other laser turrets. If they do big damage, they will destroy. The Detector Towers also work with this way.
So if you want a precision strike to basically always hit a stragem jammer to brake it you can drop it in the little gap between the terminal and the actual structure here 11:48
works the charm every time I've landed it there

Gets overwhelmed on first contact

9:47 hey takibo, you should try no scoping with the AMR when berserkers rush you like this, it's easier to do than it looks

The beloved double jammer hammer. All you were missing was a close range gunship fab with detector tower.

Def gonna try this. What weapons do you run with smokes?

Orbital gattling is just so clean. If it gets nerfed it will gut me alive

The bot infantry dont really need a gatling on them unless its a battalion of them. Personally i would have swapped gatling with the 380 to clear objs on their own
you getting hit by the Mortar right before the supply box was legit plot
Nice gameplay! Some really intense moments

Airburst roughs up those bot drops. Does its business pretty quickly to.
That's crazy you're able to use the Dilligence, I was just trying it yesterday and thinking "dang this sucks it doesn't even kill a brood in like 15 shots" lol great video!
It's great vs bots, bugs is meh
AMR with Ammo backpack is so fun you can spam that bad boy on every enemy i love it
I think recently they’ve increased the amount of grunt bots that spawn on higher difficulties, so they can dial back on the devastators and also bring more of a use to horde clearing weapons like the stalwart and airburst.
No-HUD challenge next? :D
(except for locating mission objectives)

How does this man have such smooth and fluid gameplay. I feel so clunky and slow
A build I like to run is Peak Physike and a max fire rate stalwart, I pair this with the B-1 pack, or a shield with the defender smg, along side a senator pistol.
I also bring a gattling barrage and railcannon strike.
Would love to see another laser loudout with this new armor. I know it’s already pretty good support weapon pick
If you have a sniper build, you MUST run the crossbow. This thing can shutdown stratagem jammers before they even jam you, from across the map!
The Eruptor can do that too, with a 125m max range
I dont play much bots.....where do you shoot them? Ran into one lastnight and had to fight my way into the base to manually shut it down. Quasar couldnt kill it. Am I thinking of the wrong thing?

Stun grenades fit into pretty much every load out.
Revolver in this loadout is redundant. The DMR fulfills that role already. Better to use the grenade pistol to clear factories.
Or eruptor primary
What's up legend.
Still sick, get well soon buddy

"OMG! How am I still alive?"
*Game* FTFO
you should try the purifier again against bots, purifier senator and whatever grenade you like, its a beast against devastators
Having a resupply at extraction is absolutely clutch on bots
Bro how are you so good with your aim ?
I've never seen a turret take out a jammer before.
I can not watch these insane view angle settings anymore. It looks so weird! It is a shooter with such nice grapics and so many youtubers destroy it only to see a wider angle... Zero realism...

Just pointing out that Takibo’s sub count is equal to HD2’s daily player number.
could you try a dominator loadout with the peak physique passive?
Those 'middle of the map' bots, is that an intended mechanic you need to plan around or a temporary thing?
When you hit the walkers in like the base of the legs with the sniper it only takes one shot
Crotch area
Dude, that stun bounced off of nothing... wtf lol
You should've use grenade pistol for quicker destroying factory
What zoom level are you using on the AMR?
you can destroy stratagem jammers by destroying the bot fabricator thats under it, found out after 100 hours playing
DCS is super fun against the bots
This armors getting nerfed aint it, makes the game too fun.
nail biter right there
use the airburst barrage instead of gattling
