Great vid! I always learn a lot from these. Cuts vs fast forward: I find cuts hard to follow, especially for a mostly-real-time video like this. For me the decision-making of how you move around the map, order objectives, and avoid patrols is still interesting as I learn how to handle high difficulties. Buuut I also think more people will click on a 23 minute video than a 35 minute one. To me, what makes this channel unique is clear communication of how you make your decisions (run vs fight, stratagem vs stealth, hunter vs. bile titan second-by-second). Not just through voiceover & tips, but by watching. Tier lists & generic tip videos are great, but these videos demonstrate how to actually APPLY that knowledge.
Thank you again. Good to hear you still learning from them, that's awesome! That's basically the input I'm getting from friends who play Helldivers 2 also. That the decision-making is part of the fun for people watching the videos. I placed a poll to see if people mind the long videos and for now it seems to be going in favor of longer videos so I'll probably go back to the fast-forwarding. As I get used to video-editing more I hope I'll think of more ways to make it entertaining / educational. Awesome input, thank you so much. Will do my best to keep the communication as clear as I can get it. As well as more depth into the decision making. Great feedback, definitely implementable. Will take with for the next videos! 🙌
@@PhacilGaming If it helps, I think CommisarKai does a good job of showing decision making too. The difference between good to great players seems to be less about aim & the right weapons/stratagems, and more when & how to fight given the variables of each mission so that you avoid being overwhelmed or running out of time.
@@MochaBloke Oh thank you! Will look into his videos. My guess is definitely that you're right there. Probably some Sun Tzu wisdom in there; don't have to be good at fighting if you've won the battle before it started 😃
First of all, I would like to thank you so much for trying this loadout Phacil ;-) 380mm after upgrade should destroy most of any bases or leave it as wasteland, while airstrike with right angle can take out large amount of fabricators with extra bombs and 3uses every 2 minutes .Jump pack for getting out of bad situations and to get where you normally cannot access or hide. Autocannon sentry with upgrades can vaporize at least 2 patrols, help you evade pursuit or provide backup in case you need to stay in place. Dominator with stuns as you greatly demonstrated destroy hulks, devastators and even tanks.(can be swapped for scorcher which can take down gunships but where is fun in that :) ) Senator is great for weak spots (can be swapped out for greanade pistol for extra firepower vs fabricators) Trailblazer as mentioned, one of the choices for run/gun/hide approach in solo play. I am very glad that you tried it and enjoyed it, its no meta but why play with same loadout over and over? Your mental health, gameplay tips are as always top notch, thank you for those. One more thing, maybe if you kindly can, could you recommend us some of your "not mostly used" loadouts so we could try them? Sincere regards, wish you all the best and cannot wait for more of your content
I did! It's out of my comfort zone, which makes it all the more fun. Swapping mentality for this run was a good learning experience, thank you for the recommendation and you're welcome ofcourse! 😃🙏 Super happy you also like my non-HD2 tips. That's awesome to hear, I hope I can contribute as much positivity to your lives as I can. I'll see if I can do some loadout videos / shorts that I enjoy that might be less popular at the same time. Thank you for the request again!
Love your style. I love the jokes. The "reflections" is a fine change to same idea. The final fun fact is good stuff and very cool you're going to keep doing them. The skips are fine i especially enjoy the fast forward. today with teleports rather than fast forward kinda threw me a bit but it was fine. Just keep doing what you're doing, dont burn out. I enjoy the deep dives for missions. And finally, today i saw a gateway to the upsidedown and had a laugh. #goodtimes while im here ima rewatch your other videos. There's so much to digest im certain ive forgotten something on my journey to lvl9. Thanks for creating and sharing with us
Awesome to hear! Making jokes into a mic with noone listening while I say it feels weird honestly, but I try to do my best regardless. I'll probably go back to fast forwarding, seems to be the consensus for now judging by the poll I put up. Wasn't sure if people minded the relatively long videos or not but most of you seem OK with it. So probably gonna do the fast forwarding again 😃👍 Thanks for the support, burning out seems far away for noe but definitely good to keep an eye thing. I appreciate that observation 🙏. Haha, Stranger Things is awesome I tell ya! Glad there's an audience for my messages, hope you guys keep enjoying listening to it as much as I'm enjoying making these videos!
Noted! Sounds like fun to do to be honest, will definitely look into this! 😊 Awesome, reflection is awesome to do. Not just ingame, just looking back into what you did (anywhere) and checking with yourself wether you're proud of it or not. Sounds silly but the impact on your life can be gigantic, my two cents ofcourse.
I would actually be fine with no skipping or fast forwarding, and more mindfulness helldiving guru moments to fill the gaps. That may be selfish though, I suppose. =p
Ok definitely noted! A poll I posted is in favor of this as well, so probably doing that. Getting a feel for what you guys enjoy, thank you for your input! 😃❤️
If we're sending in builds, please try mine. I'm a little unsure about how good it is, and would like some advice. Equipment: Breaker, Redeemer, Standard Grenades, with Light Armor (with extra padding if you can), Stamina Enhancement Stratagems: Stamina Enhancement, Napalm Strike, 500kg, Grenade Launcher, and the Backpack Laser Drone. You could also get rid of the BLD and GL for an Autocannon and a Mortar Sentry if you want.
Awesome! Thank you for the build. Will do my best to get a good run in for you. I'm assuming you would like a Terminid run, due to the Napalm Strike (if not then I recommend the Airstrike instead). Let me know if you want me to do an Automaton or Terminid run in this loadout!
I would recommend running Terminid, as I personally hate the Hunters, and want them gone. Other then that, you can pick which faction you think would be easier.
Roger that. Haha I think everyone hates Hunters! Ok, this loadout works well against Terminids I think. The fire damage can work OK against bots but I think it's mostly dominant against bugs. Will do, thank you for the input!
20:44 it's not that crazy, cashcrop made a video a few days back about how to predict it to an extent, for the most part stick 1m to the right and 1m forward from deployment point and prone, very unlikely to hit you! 12:28😁
Oh should probably check that out then! Love how much people can research things, even the 380 patterns haha. Will probably try the 1m at some point 😅, thanks! 12:28: 😃👍

Would love to see a stratagem tier list. Also love the reflections bit.
Noted! Sounds like fun to do to be honest, will definitely look into this! 😊

Automaton video any mission would be super helpful. Awesome video as always.
Will do, thank you again 😁! I feel like Automaton videos are more popular than Terminids. Not quite sure yet though.
You could never look bad, I like the new way, me personally enjoy both so what ever is easy for you.
Haha too kind! 😃🙏 I appreciate that sir. Thank you!

I like how you've paired it down into crucial times. I like to do artillery first to get the free Outpost killing strategems
Thank you. You're definitely right there, good point!
Great vid ill try that loadout

5:10 today I learned u can take down a gunship with ur hell pod by hitting its engine
Hell yeah! Feels great to do too, 'cos they're pretty speedy haha. And they pretty got you killed right before you did it 🫣
20:44 it's not that crazy, cashcrop made a video a few days back about how to predict it to an extent, for the most part stick 1m to the right and 1m forward from deployment point and prone, very unlikely to hit you!
