A more reliable answer to the shrieker swarm is the laser pistol. Yes technically that can eliminate hole closing, but other players are often so eager to close holes I do not find it limiting in practice.
So agree! I use the dagger, crossbow and either quasar or railgun. Dagger is great for fliers or any danger close hunters especially with DOT as it is now. Xbow gets you hole closure and pretty good crowd control. Railgun/quasar for heavys, plus you can get the rover pack which also helps with the fliers.
Everything is fun and games until you pop the Mortar and it starts bombing the hell out of your teammates. I still can't justify bringing it against the bugs, though I use it quite often against the bots.
@garydorsey4243 I find guys that bring team kill machines into battle for the sake of a few more long-range unskilled kills ... to be not worth the space, petty it may be, but I'm not dealing with that ✋️🤣
Motar is fine against bots for most of the time because they shoot at you from a distance. It's much easier to not get hit by the motar. Bugs however is certain death due to the sheer numbers closing in on you.
@michaelmcinally5899 i think it's fine if you set it up specifically for bug breaches or for defending an objective. Everyone is supposed to be running away from breaches anyway, and when defending an objective you're all usually in the same spot.
I hope they have learned from recent history the impact that nerfs have on enthusiasm. I only started playing after the buffdate, and if nerfs start happening a bunch I'll probably stop.
Yep, after the update there's literally no sense to use anything other than the recoilless rifle both for bugs and automatons. One shot kill on anything other than a strider.
My favored load out right now Liberator Penetrator Machine Pistol Thermite Grenade Medium armor with additional grenades Eagle Airstrike Eagle 500kg Recoilless Rifle Dynamic slot (Autocannon, Gatling, Napalm Artillery, 120mm Artillery) I still feel like the Penetrator doesn't feel powerful enough, but I just don't care for the non conventional weapons like the flamers or gas. I'd rather just end the movement of targets as fast as possible.
20:20 I was just wondering how you don't set yourself on fire half as often as me, from what I can figure hitting the ground from a dive while still shooting seems to be the thing to avoid for me. I'm on fire almost every time I do that, pretty much confirms to my mind that it's a system dependent bug
Been enjoying your videos since the update. (Which is when youtube started putting you in my recommendations) Have they removed the damage reduction of Bile titan heads during the acid attack? Or does the recoilless enough damage to not care about it?
The arc thrower is really good against the shriekers especially since the last update. The extended distance and it jumps to another if they're close. The 110mm rocket pod eagle is good for the shriekers nest as well. But it's still bullshit that you slow down when using a stim. If you can reload on the go, there is no reason that you should slow down to poke yourself with a damn needle 🙄
please do operations for the major order your videos make people wanna play the game after watching it so if you were fighting the bots with some amazing loadout you can cookup people would also do the same that way if we can do the major order you get more content too
I thought the same thing which is why I would use armour with the medic passive but once I switched to fire resistant armour after being lit on fire so much by the torcher I noticed a huge difference
love watching these vids for loadout ideas. More than a few have really reignited my enjoyment in the game

I kick mortar guys or ask them to change strat in loading bay 😂
@michaelmcinally5899 oh come on don't be petty lol

How sad is it that when a weapon feels good and is fun to use, our first thought is: I hope they don't nerf it.
I hope they have learned from recent history the impact that nerfs have on enthusiasm. I only started playing after the buffdate, and if nerfs start happening a bunch I'll probably stop.
They wouldn't dare
I'm loving the bugs build for 8+ of quasar cannon, rover, blitzer, grenade launcher, gas grenades, 500kg, +slot of your choosing.
Love the RR so much. Definitely my main support weapon for the foreseeable future.
Um, Sir, what are you doing on the bug side? We have a battle station to build; fight against bots, or I’ll report you for treason
Yep, after the update there's literally no sense to use anything other than the recoilless rifle both for bugs and automatons. One shot kill on anything other than a strider.
Except that fact you have to sit still for half an hour unless your friend is reloading you. Death with on anything other than a full squad
Torcher though. Scorcher is the plasma one. 😂
I also find it funny when he calls hive guards "defenders" 😂
@@peterthenoob2416 I swear I heard someone else call them defenders once and it got stuck in my head now lol
My favored load out right now
Liberator Penetrator
Machine Pistol
Thermite Grenade
Medium armor with additional grenades
Eagle Airstrike
Eagle 500kg
Recoilless Rifle
Dynamic slot (Autocannon, Gatling, Napalm Artillery, 120mm Artillery)

I like to use a medic passive armor with the torcher and only on Planets with Fire Tornados inflammable armor is the way to Go imo

😳 only difference is I'm on a lib concussive bender, you found my build!
Also it tortures me you don't call the primary torcher...

Yeah These shriekers can be paranoia when dealing with them
This loadout but instead of Recoilless and Mortar you can use Quasar and Dog Breath. So much fun.

I think this is the best hd2 content, and I can tell you enjoy bugs. Do you think we can have a bit video too?
you should set your nades to the mouse's side buttons for quick throws, no need to press G.
Can the mortar hit the tree object like shrieker nest and spore if we lock to the tree ?
What’s up with the game, it seems like at random times the games pushes your character back even though there’s no enemies to be able to do so? 6:25
I call em stinky chargers also haha
mortar in nug planet is 140% bad choice, it can only kill other friends
Dude, the new load out is shrapnel blast, laser guard dog, quazer, and rocket pods. Everything else takes too long to kill the bugs.
please do operations for the major order your videos make people wanna play the game after watching it so if you were fighting the bots with some amazing loadout you can cookup people would also do the same that way if we can do the major order you get more content too
as if its not predetermined already
Always reload before taking a supply box. your cutting yourself short one round when you do that.
I don't remember what's in the safe artillery literally put a nuke in it 10 minutes ago😂
At no point in this video did you use the scorcher, what you were using is the torcher ...
Great gameplay man ❤
Jesus loves you ❤❤❤
You keep calling the Torcher the Scorcher.
I dont think the flame armor does very well to minimize damage. Thoughts?
I thought the same thing which is why I would use armour with the medic passive but once I switched to fire resistant armour after being lit on fire so much by the torcher I noticed a huge difference
Thanks for the insight
More bots!
u play bugs a lot
I only play bugs sinse secound day from release
