Lvl 40+. I do difficulty 7-9 on repeat. Full clear of all sub objectives, lairs, and uranium.
Horde clear build with options for heavies in the highest difficulties.
Railgun.
Rover pack.
Nalapm or Eagle airstrike.
Orbital rail cannon.
While armor is broken wear light armor with the med mod. The stim thing is crazy. You’ll basically be invulnerable to anything that doesn’t one shot you and can avoid the shield generator pack.
Nothing will reduce the minions like a rover. This removes pressure for your team and allows them to focus on other things.
Air strike or napalm any breach that goes off. Then, be ready with your orbital rail cannon for titans.
Focus on clearing incoming patrols as quickly as possible and you’ll avoid breaches which are the cause of problems.
This build will regularly get 600+ kills on a map. And you’ll still be able to contribute to heavies.
A good strategy is railgun on all four people. A better is to only bring 2-3 and save strategems and call in the extra rail guns as the cooldown is ready.
Below difficulty 6 I feel like most of this stuff doesn’t matter as the game is a lot more forgiving and there is much more room for exploration of weapons and abilities.
This, been doing the same and it pretty much works always. Cant beat the railgun for both enemy types tbh. Rover pack is wildly underrated and I prefer it very much over the shield. It saves a ton of ammo and frees up space for you to move.
Orbital laser is OP, prefer it over the rail cannon tbh
@@sjoe_87 orbital laser is good. People bring those often. They take too long on crushers and 3 uses per 40 minutes doesn’t feel like enough to me. The homing ability of the rail cannon orbital and also the eagle 110 makes me lean toward them. Frequent use. Effective on what matters. Quick elimination.
But, someone always brings the laser.
I feel compelled to help it out to make kills so it can move on, and that feels like a bad sign.
@@zero11010 To be honest I havent really looked into the cooldowns of the other strategems as I just passed the 20 lvl mark.
Thanks for these insights, will def look into it!
@@sjoe_87 no worries. Explore everything. Wait a few levels. Then explore everything again.
Your opinions on stuff will change as you experience more. And, the effectiveness of things will also change based on the difficulty of what you’re doing.
Plus, things are very different between bugs and robots. It’s good to keep experimenting and thinking critically about what you did and how effective it was. And your teammates may have a different opinion about how effective a thing was.
The vast majority of tier lists and guides for the game were created by people who don’t know much about it (the game is still new and people rush to excrete content).
Autocannon extra tip : it can be used to close out bug nests and Automatons facturies instead of using your grenades :)
You'd think a RUclipsr would know that. Another guy I'm not subscribing to
He does it in the video…
@@13nohead he does do it in the clip like mentioned. ( i thought i saw a grenade launcher/ was watching while working so i might have missed it.) Also i wrote that cause I didn't see it being mentioned while on the canon segment early in the video.
So yeah they know. Not sure why the hate about subing or not though.
@@13noheadwhy are you hating
I’ve tried it so many times and it never works for me
My favorite build is what I call I Heavy target specialist. What I run is the auto shotgun or the medium armor penetrating burst assault rifle with that standard smg for the secondary. Then I run the 500kg bomb and the EMS orbital strike along with the rail gun and a personal shield. My rotations consist of throwing the EMS orbital to keep the large target in place, then throw the 500kg bomb to finish the job. Anything left over or if the big weapons are on cooldown I use the railgun to clean up any remaining big targets. The EMS orbital is also great for getting out of a sticky situation as it will freeze anything caught in it and best of all will not kill you
wow.... 1 whole bomb per game... cool guy (2 late game)
Little things like being knocked backwards when standing behind a firing rocket turret, or sliding down a sharp sloping hill while traversing are chef’s kiss to an already captivating and compelling experience.
Jet pack... for Mandalore !
scout build (usually the one I run w/)... as a scout, running ahead and thus kinda separated from your squad, the focus is to avoid engagements, but when you, unavoidably do, being able to fight most enemies on your own, but also provide cover and saves to teammates... gear wise: light-armor w/ scout perk (reduces enemy detection), a primary of your choosing (any gun you're comfortable w/, best guns unlocking on early regular warbond, breaker is just the best gun in game, but I like to have some more zoom therefore used diligence quite a lot --regular 1, cuz counter-sniper is rubbish-- and on higher difficulties the liberator penetrator lol), for secondary only one real good gun, redeemer, full-auto good, personally semi-auto works best, but like the senator tho not that good looks good and is fun to use.. stratagems, orbital laser is just the best, I pair it with either 500kg or airstrike eagle (110mm pods, is kinda sketchy), shield-backpack and railgun support weapon cuz the bubble shield can prevent most insta-deaths while also preventing flinch and AoE DMG, and the railgun is simple the best since it can deal DMG to almost all enemies...
alas only later in game, usually playing on harder difficulties folks start to realize killing everything on screen is just a huge waste of time... if you're feel this way, then this build works very well, and you still get to kill a lot XD
that all being said, having a variety of builds in any squad is usually the most fun and effective... cheers
Light armor with fastest move speed is the best in slot for highest difficulties as you will die with any set. Also once unlocked the personal armor barrier backpack saves you so often it’s hard to go without for suicide and hell difficulty. Using auto cannon as main weapon for busting bug holes from distance quickly is highly recommended. I’ve busted 6 holes from a safe vantage point so many times that i call it best in slot. Only using frags for suicide emergency hole busting when needed
Some interesting ideas. Right now I'm early level 30, playing on dif 7; and as many, I've been using Railgun + Shield pack since I've reached level 20, it is so good. With that I usually carry Eagle Cluster (deal with small) and Orbital Laser or Rail (deal with the big guys), but I like to experiment here and there, specially on lower difficulties while helping some divers.
I heard some people talking how the HMG is being overlooked, and you said as well, I'm going to give it a try on my next games. One weapon that people are overlooking is the SPEAR launcher, I've been testing it and that thing hits so hard, sure it has the same problem as the recoiless (long solo reload, can't use drone or shield pack, etc), but it is so good at killing Titans!
This build's actually pretty close to my normal build. I tend to just run the 500 or the Laser, with the other slot being the Supply Pack to go with the Grenade Launcher. :D And I run the Breaker Incendiary, but that's just personal preference.
Anyone have a new method to fill a hosted game lobby? The trick of starting a mission, putting down an SOS, leaving via return to ship alone, and then starting another mission no longer fills a lobby automatically. It seems like the patch took away the method without really fixing quick play either.
You really like that that Engineer armor.
At the moment it’s one of the best
@@LegacyGamingUS certainly can’t deny that.
What’s a good replacement for this after the patch?
Am I the only one that dislikes the 500KG bomb? It never really kills anything for myself.
All weapons that can take out nests can also take out Fabricators(bot version) with well placed shots. Railcannon is possibly the strongest and best weapon and is a must in teams on atleast one person. Also a good solo weapon for both bugs and bots as u can even take out Bile titans and tanks with it. AUtocannon self reload is cut in HALF if u do NOT empty your magazine as it fits 2mags from the backpack at once and u wont have to do an extra animation as long as ther eis a bullet in the chamber. For solo play the light armor with lower detection range is a must. As for Primary weapon the Breaker Incen version is amazing and i also heard the last weapon unlock in the normal warbond tree is S tier. And dont play rescue civilians above hard xD it's nuts.
Have not tried it but you should be able to use the Defender primary SMG together with the ballistic shield, however i personally just get the prot field with a railgun most of the time.
Hit registration on the 500kg needs fixed
I run the eagle airstrike. Orbital laser. Railgun. Auto cannon sentry. Breaker SG. P-19 as my secondary. Don’t sleep on the eagle airstrike even for 7-9 difficulty. It can destroy a whole bug nest or robot facility by itself.
honestly I just hope they'll make all the strategem support weapons to be as close to the Railgun/Autocannon as possible, at least in terms of dealing with Chargers, some are but some aren't, it'd be nice to have actual viable variety, not too big of a fan of level power creep. I still run Machine GUn in Helldive, with support pack and just use 110mm rocket pods and railcannon to deal with chargers and bile titans, the reload aint too big a problem because of staged reload imo. Machine gun just feel really great to deal with big groups of mixed enemies, and stalkers. I also run Slugger (blows off limbs really well) and Scorcher (great for spewers) a lot, and the base Liberator because it's simply the GOAT. I sure hope balancing patches will come and make everything as on par with each other as possible, it doesnt feel so nice seeing the same loadouts over and over again, when there are so many cool stuff.
I did notice the CE-81 Juggernaut armor is the same as CE-35 Trench Engineer bonus. I would mostly maybe run that armor but i do see why some would run the Trench Engineer armor as well. Thanks for the tip!
This game is so fun once I adjusted all my settings. I play COD a lot so it took a lil bit to get adjusted. This is way more fun than COD
Same brother
The cluster bomb is also a very good eagle strike with 4 uses
I am so damn BORED of the railgun. Yeah it's good for everything and it was fun for the first 20 hours but 200 hours in and at level 45, I want to use the flamethrower, or mow down hordes with the machinegun. I can't do that when the game keeps spamming titans and chargers
Lvl 40 here.
This seems like a bug focused build, and would work great for that, but talking robots for a second, I think the 50% explosive resist is mandatory on armour, to evade 1 shots from any rocket, and the shield preventing staggers while aiming just can't be replaced. The extra health can get you from cover to cover where you might have been shot dead, too.
Robot gunfire stagger is no joke, call-ins can go wild, grenade launchers can hit yourself in the feet, railgun shots sail 30ft over enemies, and the shield can turn you from a two-shot rocket to a three-shot which in higher difficulties is another essential to prevent wasting a re-enforcement.
Orbital railcannon has too long a cooldown for me, hulks and tanks come in packs. Orbital laser likewise, though it can deal with a couple rather than one. Since the backpack slot is used, railgun or grenade launcher preffered.
I veer toward 500kg for tanks and buildings, two per 2:30 rearm is just too good for outposts and the slow movement of tanks.
Railgun can deal with hulks and everything else medium, and a tank in a pinch with a lot of shots, but grenade launcher can make a joke of a hoard of chainsaws or close normal bots.
For fourth I preffer the eagle airstrike if you need more killy, which can take out mediums and buildings while saving the 500's for priority targets.
Alternatively the mortar. Sentries get shot dead very fast even with health increase, so mortars out of line of sight end up with most effect. EMS mortar if your team has objections to the indirect fire.
Additionally, for anyone struggling to 500kg bile titans, there's a surefire way.
Those who've played soulslikes know it well, the ol' bait and punish. You place the beacon in front of them, and sync moving towards them so that they go for a spit or a stomp when they move over the laser. That keeps them still and in place long enough for the bomb to hit the ground and detonate, rather than them simply walking over it and away from the small explosion radius. Make sure to dodge the attack you baited though.
Wish people would stop this “ultimate build guide” for helldivers. Play the game, learn what works for you
Tbh just wear whatever you want and whatever makes you look the coolest. No point in putting on something if you don’t like it plus who cares for the stats of the armors I don’t look at that lol
the infographic picture at 8:23 convinced me to subscribe , keep up the good work
this game makes min max weebs and meta clowns look like fools because there are literally so many good ways to play and be awesome
Lol i came here for a better build and this is the exact same thing i use, it works and i love your channel
Seems pretty self-sufficient! I haven't invested in turrets at all (and don't really like em much tbh) so may consider subbing the Autocannon Turret for another Eagle call in. The people I play with generally love bringing turrets, so one more thing that could possible teamkill me sounds unappealing. 😆
I may possibly also sub out the 500KG bomb, but I don't have the last Hanger upgrade yet so that may be a huge factor.
That last upgrade makes the 500KG so so good. Having 2 charges is the perfect amount between rearms at higher difficulties and allows you to casually use one when shit hits the fan, but there isn't some massive enemy that needs dealing with.
@@LegacyGamingUS That's what I was thinking too, yeah. I am SO close to it (like 10 rare samples I think?) so I'll definitely give it a go tonight with the 2x 500KG.
I'm terrible at "What if I need it?" and am just coming off using Orbitals and learning to love Eagles, so I need to remember: the restock time for the Eagles is only a lil more than the Orbitals I was using. Let 'em fly!
Unpopular opinion 500kg bomb isn’t better than the regular airstrike.
Use railgun to take armor off a bug airstrike on top they die
We personally like to toss the 500kg and hit the enemies in the mouth 2-3 times to stunlock them so the bombs always hit if we misjudge the distance
I also suggest the sniper, it pierces through the enemy and it could take down a charger pretty easily
Level 50 here, great video. My build is slightly different but this build is also really good.
Hm manned gun doesn’t have enough ammo.
At ~2:26 how was that airstrike done from that far away? Is it a ship upgrade? I've just been chucking them like nades.
How do i get new offensive and.supply
Early on, I liked running the grenade launcher with supply pack. Freaking endless grenades and great for crowd control.
My favorite build so far is for defensive crowd control and team support and works decently against both factions in a team setting:
Engineer armor
Breaker Incendiary
Redeemer
Autocannon
Orbital EMS
Eagle Cluster Bomb
Mortar turret
This is exactly what I run, but replace the breaker incendiary with the normal breaker. The incendiary breaker is nice, but only does almost 1/3 of the damage of the normal breaker.
@@GumpierGoat2I run the normal breaker a lot too when solo or duo, but if you have a full squad the incendiary shines when you can spray a group of weaker enemies from afar and they all burn out quick before they can do too much damage. helps stop your team from getting overrun by the little guys
My go to build at high level-
Breaker shotgun(sometimes the flame version for fun, but not optimal)
Impact grenades, orbital rail canon, orbital laser, railgun, and then for Bugs- Guard dog Rover, for automatons- shield backpack
I use more of a hit and run style. The armor with grenade throw distance, DMR, and the railgun, and 2 strikes depending on the mission. It lets me stay far away enough that I can be more mobile. For longer missions I change out one of the strikes for a resupply backpack and on higher difficulty I might use the guard dog and an assault rifle.
Maybe your videos should focus on builds for mission types instead of just builds. JS:)
I’m brand new to this game, so I can buy multiple ship modules and they will all run at once ? Not limited ? Thanks 🙏
Can anyone tell the price of the "Eagle 500kg Bomb" please?
I paid $40 for a game I can't even play 🙄
I'll try in a couple of weeks, back grinding
Love the game but dissapointed with the number of weapons.. hope they add a lot more later.
id say the best support weapon you can use right now is the railgun. it doesnt take backpack slot so you can use shield generator backpack, or guard dog with it and you can just kill chargers with 2 shots to the leg and finish them up with your main weapon since it destroyes the armor on their leg and its actually their weak spot and not the back.
So I have to buy a whole bunch of stuff I don’t want in order to unlock the guns I want?
Breaker redeemer orbital laser, shield backpack, rail gun, mortar sentry my go to
I take the railgun, and eagle cluster in almost every high level mission. They're way too useful not to.
Icky walking Barrage 500 shield pack rail gun low key best set up
Why not run railgun over recoiless?
Railguns can't take out bot drops and take quite a few shots on massive targets. We are of the firm belief that 1-2 railguns is more than enough in a team of 4, and the other 2 should bring direct hard counter weapons like a recoilless or spear.
.
It’s a bug, because it’s giving the same stats as the body armor. I don’t think that it’s intended.
We to
Yes! Eagle airstrike is so underrated! Super powerful and has a great AOE, takes out small to large enemies, bug nests, robot foundries and does decent damage to armor.
Only grief is we needed atleast 3-5 more side arms to chose frome
Unless you deploy sentries on places that the enemies can't reach (especially bugs), they are not very useful on higher difficulties (7-9), as they will be instantly destroyed by the constant onslaught of heavies because they are very squishy even after the +50% health upgrade.
That's why you place them at a distance and protect them. We consistently use them on 8's and 9's with no problem.
I wish this game was on Xbox :(
I think there's a petition going around to hopefully bring it to that platform. Good luck and sorry :(
I love how viable mist stratagems are. Most are useful... the primaries though... yeah some of them are just plain bad.
Great video! My personal favorite loadout to run right now when I can get quickplay to work is: Orbital Railcannon Strike, Orbital Laser, Shield Generator Pack, and the Grenade Launcher support weapon. The orbitals are nice for taking out Chargers and Bile Titans or crowds with just the Laser. The Shield Generator Pack just helps me die less and tank otherwise fatal one shots and the grenade launcher helps take out nests, crowds, or even Chargers but usually takes a few mags. Guns and grenade wise the main 3 everyone runs. Breaker, Impact Grenade, and the Full Auto Machine Pistol. Armors wise since the armors are currently bugged and all provide the same amount of protection regardless if it’s heavy or medium I just run a light armor set I saved up super credits for. It’s light so it lets me run around/drain less stamina and it has the passive of two extra stims.
Can’t get purple to upgrade lol
Orbital rail cannon doesn’t kill your team mates like a lot of the strats.
The salvo orbitals have rarely been useful for me, more often than not they don’t even hit the target and more so just hit around the target.
Thank you for the video - today I had a lot of fun - it worked perfectly - great game:)
I cant live without my mortors
no rail gun?? Someone hasn't fought on the Terminator frontline...
This isn't the absolute end-game build, Livid's main endgame loadout runs railgun 100% of the time haha.
How has this game not been hit with numerous IP infringements
Because they aren't directly copying or using copywritten elements? Games and IPs are built on the iteration of things that came before them.
The patch messed up the game on psn. You get 20 minutes into a match and then the game disconnects you and you are spend an hour or so getting back in just to have it happen again.
Beautiful video
Great guide, thanks man.
You should mention the Fire Grenades are very good against Terminids as the fire slows them down allow you to make distance between them if retreating or to slow their advance, or a choke point.
Great vid, subscribed 👍
Great video man it helped a lot
Surprised there was no mention of the Railgun... 🤔
Next vid :) We've found consistent success with only 1-2 railguns per team, with recoiless/spears/utility being invaluable.
@@LegacyGamingUS Very good to know for a Helldiver noob like myself.
If this game was as good as Deep Rock Galactic, it wouldn't be as infuriating when playing solo
Not meant to be played solo, that's it.
Man just downloaded hopped in with some random guy. 2 words - F****** insane!!!! Jesus Christ we didn’t have mic’s but we was texting.
High-key screaming at eachother over text in all caps
creatures- not to hard, robots - INSANE. We only did it on medium too!🤣
Added eachother and will be playing with him again tomorrow. Awesome 2Hours and I hope I find more players like that!
What do I need tips for if I can’t even play the game? It’s a waste of time
I have really been digging the Incidiary Breaker. There is a lot of mixed info online. I feel like it absolutely melts. Also, 1 pellet inflicts Incidiary even against armored enemies at range. This is kinda dumb
Bring it to a suicide mission and you’ll see why it’s not viable
I use Legionnaire armour (light armour stats, with servo assist).
Always carry backpack, usually supply but sometimes guard dog.
Always carry heavy weapon, preferred choice is grenade launcher, helps remove nests from range.
Then run 2 offensive strats. Been trying mortar sentry - great for friendly fire, so much swearing and cursing.
Was using minefield, frustrating when you need to run, as your focus is not on the ground. However it can be effective if placed right. Found Gatling auto turret melts enemies, but usually does not last as long as machine gun turret.
Basic strategy is, throw auto turret in where enemies are, then grenade launch spawn points from safe position, mop up left overs and move on.
