I've been Lasermaxxing for months and it's the true jack of all trades -Damage -consistency (no reload) -anti tank (laser cannon) -long range precision -damage over time -fast kill time when aiming for heads (automatons and terminids) And the Buffdivers update just shows that Laser Chads keep winning.
Bro im honestly too bad for bots on 8 and above. I just get killed instantly and have no idea how to adapt. I have a personal vendetta against the now rockets and the rocket tank
Rocket striders are pretty much the most dangerous enemy. If your loadout can't handle them quickly, you're going to die. Especially when every patrol and dropship seems to have 4 of them. Railgun is the best at handling them, then AMR, then autocannon. Crossbow is also good against them if you hit them in the pelvic girdle twice. Jar-5 is adequate as well
Same here, try using the Comando for the Missile Tanks, and any primary that can penetrate medium armor, or at least the senator or a granade pistol. The impact granades work too. Use any armor and backpack you want and at lest a stratagem that can clean a horde of enemies. And remember, the Missile Tanks are bug, so if you dont destroy the head, ir will still shoot.
Bc of the limb changes they made hulks can one shot with body shot now and sometimes even shoot through ur stim, limb change in general buffed bots so much, imo a very silly thing to do
@@rivwell_21 they already could one shot us now even the tinies can kill a full health vitality boosted heavy armor diver in one burst. It used to be ragdoll simulator, but now when it isn't ragdoll simulator its one shot simulator.
important is that laser cannon is supposed to have faster heat reduction, but its a known bug that the cool down is currently same as before buffdiver patch
imo shield backpack is essential with lasers because the flinch is so hard to deal with otherwise, being able to soak a few shots is really important. Railgun to a lesser degree is the same but at least you can kinda peek with it if you’re good at quickly aiming. Laser cannon needs that sustained fire. I love the loading message that bots have “reactive protocols” making them susceptible to suppressing fire. Never really seen that happen with laser weapons myself.
@@jonnycarr6294 Scout armor and cover is a good alternative, hit them fast and hard then move back out of detection and repeat. There is a medium 100 armor with the Scout perk on page 8 of the free warbond, Combat Technician if you want a little more protection while still rocking Scout perk, with Vitality booster its usually good enough to take a few hits.
6:40 the recoilless beats the spear and commando by quite a bit now as it has more ammo than the spear, can also shoot at close range and can one shot fabs unlike the commando
Arc thrower is back for bots and broken good. Load out is arc thrower, jar-5, grenade pistol, thermite, shield gen pack, eagle of choice, rocket sentry, and armor of choice (i go either extra grenades or explosive resistance)
A tip in case anyone didn't know, thermites will stick to fabricators and destroy them from any angle. Really useful for taking out the last few in a large base without wasting a 500 kilo or something
It's because arrowheads idea of difficulty is just throwing more heavy armor targets, whereas 7-8 has WAY more devastators. I also find 8 to be more difficult solo than 9-10
U should give the recoilless rifle a try. I use Precision orbital strike, walking barrage, autocannon sentry, and recoilless rifle with the counter diligence dmr, magnum (the light pen pistol with high dmg), and gas grenades. Servo assisted armor (max throw range is around 100 meters, you can snipe bases with the walking barrage and recoilless rifle) Being able to throw the autocannon sentry really far allows u to start a fight on 1 side of the base, pulling the bots together, and the walking barrage comes in from the other side going towards the sentry. I use the precision strike to ambush patrols and take out detect towers/ jammer faster.
is the strat of take-out-all-the-fabricators-in-an-area-before-starting-the-objective something you do on all mission types or is it a more adaptable scenario where you might do sub-objectives if they're on the way? curious because i usually do main objective stuff if it's on the way, but if this strat treats you better I'd love to try it out myself. not having to deal with outposts while doing the main objective does sound pretty neat.
Bro, no offense but strangers don't want to friend you just because you, a rando, ask them to. This is not how one (content creator) to many (randos) relationships work
So, call this layout a "laser" build is a bit of a push for me... you're only using the laser suport weapon, to be a laser build, at least the primary should have been a laser weapon too. And you should have brought the Lazer orbital strike as well... So sorry to say, but I can't really see the "challenge" part of this mission, when you water it down by choosing only the "less bad" part of it.
@@chikirin9349 aiming is not the problem, it has the same damage as the scythe, just take it and a good anti-armor weapon. Even a regular machine gun has way faster reload too
Not bringing orbital laser on a laser loadout?? Heresy
The limited uses and long cooldown make it so hard to justify, especially alone

The only weakness is lack of stagger, but that doesn’t matter much for bots tbh.
barely able to visor kill a Hulk is not really a Chad, btw

Do you ever try to find cover? Also something like the spear or rec rifle cuts heavies like a knife through butter

DCS is 3 shots to the pelvis
Use explosive dmg reduction armor and shield gen you’ll stop dying constantly with that

Tbh good change, whike hulk and other things kill u much faster we are killing them much faster too!
Why is limb and headshot damage even a thing in this game? like it doesnt make sense as a system espec since our enemies have auto aim essentially

It's not a bug they went back on that change and forgot to take it out of the patch
Yeah they said that they changed their minds on that change but forgot to delete it from the patch notes.

20:26 I think because you were crouching you got headshot.

Solid advice

Lets go! I love watching your vids
A tip in case anyone didn't know, thermites will stick to fabricators and destroy them from any angle. Really useful for taking out the last few in a large base without wasting a 500 kilo or something
And if you use the armour set with extra grenades and run a supply pack and you can destroy all the fabs without the need for any strats
Great vid you as usual! Anyone know if the Las-5 Scythe is worth using now?
it’s pretty good especially if you can headshot consistently
I feel like the quasar is more reliable but that charge up to cool down from the Quasar Cannon is the only downside
the spear is way better than the laser cannon at taking out gunships, just so you know. You don't even need good aim.
The factory strider turrets started shooting twice after Escalation of Freedom
Its insane how much your tier 10 missions always look easier than the tier 7 and 8 missions i solo.
It's because arrowheads idea of difficulty is just throwing more heavy armor targets, whereas 7-8 has WAY more devastators. I also find 8 to be more difficult solo than 9-10
I swear.
He's running around at times with nothing going on but if I drop into a 7, it's never ending chaos until the mission is over.
@@cocaineinmyvein Honestly, difficulty 8 is basically heavy devastator ASMR. I hope you like that sound, because you are gonna hear A LOT of it.
I had a factory strider take 4 500kgs to go down the other day
Hi, to play on PC I have to have a PlayStation account or was that before, I'm new and I want to buy the game 😁
On Pc there should be on option to not use a PlayStation account when it wants you to link it. I didn’t need to use one before playing
You have to expose yourself a bit using the rail gun too charging it up
You can charge it up behind cover and move out when you're ready to shoot.

Step 1: Carefully pick your loadout to main a Laser
Step 2: use the crossbow the whole damn time
Step 3: ???
Walking Barrage my friend, if you think a jammer is too close.
I love the Eruptor, but I find myself loving the xbow more now

It's sad that heatsink now considerably tanky, before the buff laser cannon actually smoke heatsink really fast.
think they stealth buffed the impailers too lol.
Yes Takibo you always have to be careful exposing yourself 😂
Should have brought the Servo Assisted armor for those beginning eagle tosses lol
How did you make part of your crosshair green? Is that an in game setting or overlay?
I dont feel like laser canon is good choice, well i love it but it doesnt seem as strong as other support weapons. Its fun to use tho.
1🎉
no orbital laser
no primary laser, at least Sickle
eeeeeeeeeeeeh
i love how the crossbow went from trash to based
NUT
wowwwww fortified commando detected
Let's hope they don't nerf the crossbow. They would have cut its ammo reserve in half with their previous balance philosophy.
Tbh it does have a ton of ammo, they could probably reduce it by at least 3 mags and prolly I wouldn't notice.
I love the crossbow
