The thing about the blitzer is that its really inconsistent, you'd think that each of the arcs would do its own 250 damage but if i hs to guess the damage is most likely split up between each enemy it hits
Besides what happened shortly after he said that, 33:30 is another example of how blitzer can struggle when you're trying to focus a single, high-priority target.
HIGHLY reccomend the cookout. I used to be a blitzer worshipper but the cookout has the same stagger, I think more damage (can’t remember numbers) and most importantly SHOOTS BULLETS THAT IGNITE meaning it has all the benefits of the blitzer damage AND stun but can also eradicate entire shrieker clusters and do DOT fire damage. With that supply pack it’s not like you’ll be running out of ammo either
For me is cookout for bugs and blitzer for squids. Still trying to find my favourite loadout for bots, I like diligence and adjudicator but I want to try dominator next time
@ yea for squids I haven’t found a main weapon yet I usually just run purifier cuz it’s easy and meta but I don’t find it fun. I couldn’t stand the blitzer just cuz those flying bastards are always just out of reach. diligence goes crazy for bots tho but the crossbow and purifier are good too just cuz they ignore armor and those pesky shield toting roaches
I like both, but the blitzer isn't without advantages over the Cookout. It has medium pen making it generally better against Commanders and Hive Guards, auto-aims for the head so it can still do good damage to Spewers, and can stun multiple enemies in a wide arc with a single shot. I often use the Blitzer as a all-purpose weapon when I run an anti-tank build, taking full advantage of its infinite ammo so I can run and fight forever while still having an answer for heavy enemies on hand. The Cookout is something I bring with the holy combo of Grenade Launcher + Supply Pack. It rounds the loadout nicely, provides both close-range stagger and an answer for shriekers, and can be spammed at distant enemies whenever I don't feel like wasting grenades.
Cookout is just so good, its the equivalent of a slugger built for crowds and bugs, and squids both suffer from that, and overseers dont take reduced fire damage iirc.
If your backpack is still full, but your ammo is not and you have a resupply infront of you, refill once from the backpack and then get the resupply. Gets you twice the ammo and your backpack is full again aswell! 😊
Also no risk of burning yourself to death like using the torcher. Steriliser and cookout might be the best CC primary + stratagem wep combo in the game.
Yeah, I figured out that it's pretty good against them as well. Blitzer is my main against everything, it's so nice not having to worry about reloading, or running short on ammo.
I highly recommend throwing a resupply immediately when you land and right when it's off cooldown. Good placement matters less and less the more you have chilling across the map :) The "ole!" at 16:08 killed me. Love you takibo, keep up the good work
I don’t know how many people do this but if you throw a 500kg in the middle of medium and some heavy nests you can completely destroy it with that single bomb
if you aim and hit the sphincter directly you can one tap enemies with any primary or secondary. Most people don’t know this Because enemies don’t visibly have an anus. Takes a lot of skill to master this feat
That extraction was mighty dangerous and the coolest thing with the timing, and that charger dodge while that titan was spewing! That was IN-TENSE! Cool video, though I don't really agree that the blitzer is really that comfy.
5:20 if you keep the aim at alpha commendershead. you whould just need 2 shots. blitz should not used like that. i am blitz main. 9:20 you gotto be kidding me man. it is the best weapon against alpha commander. aim head. 2 shot and dead plus complete stun it. Stalker too. just go to a bit close if necessary. love your vids.
You've got to start punching hunters that are in your face, man. It'll interrupt their combo and prevent you from dying. It's the same way with overseers trying to just trap you in melee. Punch them once, then stim or shoot depending on the situation. I promise you it works lmao
Due to some unfortunate circumstances, this Helldiver is prohibited from any interaction with my super destroyer, since my Creator(My sweet mom☺️), has told me to rest from injuries. Until further notice, I will be away. Bless all of you.
I’ve learned lots. Mainly that I don’t have to engage every swarms. One question that I have is that I was under the impression that if I don’t engage the swarms, the they will forever run after you. Also learned that I can start destroying the bug’s nest, then run around killing other enemies and then go back to bug nest. Great video
Takibo's wearing the lightest armor here, which helps with being able to disengage from bugs. If you're wearing medium or heavy armor, you'll have a much harder time, especially if the map is wide open with little cover and the mission is during the daytime.
5:22 The Blitzer is *the* main shotgun weapon where I feel distance makes a huge difference. The other ones you can more or less stand far away and get kills with few shots, but Blitzer I feel you have to be really close to i.e. Alpha Commanders to two or three shot them.
I like to bring the orbital airburst, if you wait til the first bugs are coming out of a bug breach it will handle the entire thing by itself as long as something big doesn't come out. I usually bring the fire breaker, fire grenade or gas, grenade pistol, and then for strats i try to bring the same things, recoiless for big things cause it 1 shoots all but the impaler. orbital airburst, something like the eagle airstrike for quick crowd control and i love hte flame sentry
Can you run this loadout on a planet with shriekers? The blitzer seems to really suck against them and having a grenade pistol and no support weapon makes them almost impossible to kill.
If you have ample support from your team any loadout works, solo on the other hand I would say that it would be a struggle. The only way to reasonably deal with them is to let them dive and time your blitzer shots
@ well this video is solo, and I was trying it solo, but trying to hit those shriekers even just before they hit you in succession is pretty difficult.
@@_morgoth_ It's not worth it. You have to sweat an unreasonable amount with the blitzer to kill shriekers. That's why I always use cookout for my solo bug runs.
it would be nice if you could show your control settings btw. i'd be really interested because it seems ppl are using all kinds of different keyboard combinations and i have already tried different settings for myself.
This rat playstyle is impressive! I remember when it all started as just a loadout for the bots, and how you’d full clear entire bot maps with it. Now we have proof of an entire playstyle!
One of my fav loadouts vs bugs is stim pack armor. Then I roll with the cookout and grenade pistol with the stun grenade. Then I run tesla tower, Quasar or grenade launcher, supply pack, and orbital barrage(if I use quasar) or 500kg(if I use grenade launcher).
Im an oldschool kida guy. Laser Rover, cookout and quasar. Its the orbitals im not yet fully convinced about. Napalm? Gas? Those work but are they the highest ROI they could be? Arguably not. Also im a fan of thermites. You can survive a ton with this loadout as the combination of Rover+ cookout gives you tons of space and sustain. If advise against diving solo, tho. Any orbital recomendations instead of the ones above?
Gatling barrage and precision strike . Laser Rover,flamethrower, cookout, thermites, Granat pistol. Anti flame armour. Thats my regular loadout against the bugs. The gatling barrage has such a low cooldown that you can fire it every Minute.
I don't know why you picked the supply pack for your fourth stratagem, you have a primary with infinite ammo, and for your thermites you could've picked an armor with the Engineering Kit passive, that way you would have 5 thermites, plus you're playing solo so you have all 4 supplies for you alone, and by the time you run out of thermites you would have another resupply ready to be called in, you could've picked literally any other stratagem for your fourth slot and it would've been a better choice lol
i know its a pain in the ass, but can you try finding a load out that doesnt require a niche gun? Not all of us hours to dump in grinding creds or money to spend freely. understandable if you dont want to do this.
Blitzer is like a shot gun, wide spread, short range. You gotta charge every arc thrower shot, longer range 75m. Can arc to up to 4 enemies including teammates. You’re way more likely to kill team mates with the arc thrower. Arc thrower will kill large groups faster. Blitzer sucks on jumper missions and against shriekers. Blitzer shines against Alfa commanders, warriors hive guardians and stalkers. Nobodies running up on you with a Blitzer. The other main difference is one’s a primary and the others a secondary.
I had an argument with a heavy armor enjoyer a while back, happy to see a competent player not even considering anything but the obviously superior light armors c:
@@nolimbsjohnny I consider standing your ground a poor excuse for not killing the enemies. Maybe I'm conditioned by light armor, but if I'm taking hits to the point where heavy armor would make a difference, I already f'ed up
As a heavy armor enjoyer, the extra damage reduction from heavy armor (and some medium armors) makes a huge difference in what you can survive being hit by. It's less about standing your ground and more about not getting randomly one tapped by an enemy you didn't see. The headshot damage reduction above 100 armor rating is especially noticeable.
Light armors are usually better for the stamina recovery and speed, but if you don’t wanna get oneshot by something coming from your blindspot, heavy armor is nice. I’m mostly a light armor enjoyer because I like the mobility, but do I wish I had that extra resistance in some cases. If I use heavy armor I usually compensate with jump pack for quick repositioning
He said why lol. For the thermites and for the grenade pistol Since he didn’t have an anti tank weapon, thermites were going to be his go to for impalers and chargers, and for bile titans if needed. Did you forget that every bit of your inventory uses supplies or do you still play difficulty 3?
The game is so easy now its a bummer... I don't enjoy it anymore but the game looks so good. I want to play it more but I get bored halfway into a dive

Did you watch any further? He immediately clarified that it's the enemy running away and the Blitzer's lack of range that makes it annoying.

Cookout is just so good, its the equivalent of a slugger built for crowds and bugs, and squids both suffer from that, and overseers dont take reduced fire damage iirc.
If your backpack is still full, but your ammo is not and you have a resupply infront of you, refill once from the backpack and then get the resupply. Gets you twice the ammo and your backpack is full again aswell! 😊
@@blutadlerx love doing this to refill stims good tip bro🙏
LOVE Takibo trying out new loadouts!
Thanks for the video mate
23:58 "He's just standing there... MENACINGLY!"
watching u since helldivers 2 launched!! i hope u get more recognition, will watch this video once i reach home
Supply pack and blitzer is weird combination for sure
I used to run blitzer... then i fell in love with the Cookout. Now I'm a gas diver at heart, with the extra fire dps as an icing on the cake.
Also no risk of burning yourself to death like using the torcher. Steriliser and cookout might be the best CC primary + stratagem wep combo in the game.
Blitzer has become my #1 pick for illuminates, it’s just so amazing for groups of voteless and stunning overseers

Set your resolution to “native” in the settings and put everything but shadows to max. Anti-aliasing is also nice, if you can afford to run it.
