Hey Phacil, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your relaxed way of combining gameplay with life lessons which makes your videos always feel interesting and substantial while not being uncomfortably fast paced and appreciate the amount of work put into them. Your channel is really underrated. I also think a run with all orbital barrages (380, 120, walking and gatling) and primary, secondary and grenade up to you could make for an interesting challenge.
Thank you so much Knoedel, I appreciate that immensely. I will do my best to keep the quality consistent. I wrote it down! Will do my best to get a good run 🫡
@@PhacilGaming I'm still figuring it out myself. I've seen my bud do it consistently but i can't figure it out. still, 50% of the time just killing it the thing is great, and the other times it's a glorified precision strike
Useful tips for this mission: 1: easiest ways to take out a bunker are 380, laser, and 500kg. 2: typically a bunker mission will have at least one bunker (the fourth one in this video at 15:54) that is close enough to the wall to safely hellbomb from outside, the same way phacil tried to with the detector tower. 3: airstrikes can take out all of the cannons including the middle turrets on bunkers, but not completely destroy the bunker. 4: if the bunker sees you from a distance that you can't destroy it from with a 380 or laser and you have no cover the next 3 seconds of your life are gonna suck. After those 3 seconds you won't be alive for it to suck
1. Good to know! Thank you, noted. 2. Whoa that's really cool info! Will sneaky bomb Bunkers more often then. 3. Ah shame, good to know it can't break the Bunker. I guess it's nice it destroys the turrets though! 4. Lmao definitely felt that before.
Just to let you know, there are two Command Bunker layouts that can be hellbombed from outside the base, and none of the bots will detect the drop. If the bunker has twin chimneys or a weird looking vertical rock outside of it, it can be hellbombed stealthily. I don’t know the exact spots though, you might have to do some experimentation.
I love the mini map path in the beginning. Amazing video as always. I would never even attempt this now at least(hopefully when I’m better), stellar job.
impressive that you didnt use any support weapons, I wouldn't have thought it was possible without ANY guns. also, at 13:24, when you're trying to see the distance, the cursor also shows 43 meters, so you dont have to rely on the voice-over. Edit: the melee attack of secondary weapons is an overhead attack, so theres a good chance you can oneshot light bots on their head.
Thank you! Was alot of fun to do, really wanted it gunless. Yeah it does thank you for the input! Minimap is nice haha. Good tip also! I really don't have enough melee experience 🤦♂️
Yeah, I guess you’re right that facing your problems and not trying to be perfect is the best way to achieve anything in life. It’s hard for me to put that into practice because I’m extremely depressed. I already feel like I can’t do anything before I even try, because I feel like I’m terrible at everything in life. So basically, I can’t find the motivation to get started on anything. Even worse, I endlessly procrastinate even with the simplest of tasks. So even if I believed in myself to achieve something, I’m so disorganized and bad at time management that it would take me ages. Yeah… not sure why I vented like that to a stranger. But hey, you seem nice enough and do offer life advice in your content. Either way, hope it wasn’t too negative. I’m not sure what answer I’m expecting either, it’s not like you can make all my problems go away. Years of therapy have not done that, so what possibly could. Well, TL;DR I’m hopelessly inept and life is a cruel joke. Thank you for read
OH YEAH, gameplay was pretty sick. You’re really good at this game. Solo helldive with only offensive stratagems, plus you chose a fire tornado planet just to make it harder. Really nice… I’ve completed a solo Impossible against Bugs, so I’ll probably be able to do a solo Helldive on bothe factions soon. Yeah, surprisingly, I CAN achieve hard things in games sometimes. Only in games though, not in life. And not PvP games, I get stomped by children all the time. And depression makis it so that even when you DO achieve something, you feel very little accomplishment, if any at all. Sound like a sad life? It certainly is!
I'll start by saying that I wish I had a solution and/or words to fix how you're feeling, and I genuinely hate that I don't. Adding to that, I will say that I am 100% you can't be terrible at everything in life. Simply because there's noone who's terrible at everything, but ofcourse the problem is not wether you are objectively bad at everything. The problem is that you feel subjectively bad at everything, so maybe my first question to you would be (which you don't have to answer here ofcourse, just a question for you to think about): "What are you the least-bad at?" And if you come up with that, we can definitely work our way up from there I would say. I'm not a psychotherapist, but I am convinced you are capable of much more than you currently think. I appreciate that you took the time to vent to this random stranger, and you're right. I do care, thank you so much for trusting me enough to type this! You can be negative, it's important to try and balance your bad with some good though. Which is a habit most of us have to practice to develop. Since it's easy to look at your flaws, and much harder to appreciate your strengths. Thank you for the gameplay compliments. You will definitely get to a solo Helldive if you're already soloing Impossible missions. Being good at a game is actually worth quite a bit more than you might think. So at the very least be proud of your hand-eye coordination I'd say! Positivity is a skill as far as I'm concerned, practice complimenting yourself for the little things. Any little things really. TL;DR I refuse to believe you have absolutely nothing to offer, statistically impossible. You're more than welcome.
@@PhacilGaming Hey, thanks for the reply. Sorry for dumping all that on ya. Please, don’t feel responsible for my well-being, that burden is not on your shoulders… I will say though, I am feeling better today. I don’t feel that bad most of the time. That deeply depressive state comes once in a while, but at most times, I’m generally feeling decent. It’s still true that my depression lessens the feelings of accomplishment and joy I generally feel, and I’m still bad at time management and procrastinate way too much, but I’m not bad at EVERYTHING. I mean, I’m good at English, even though it’s not my first language. Got a C1 a few years back. I’m also a pretty compassionate person with a strong sense of justice. I care a lot about democracy and liberty, and I’m not talking about Helldivers (even though Super Earth isn’t actually democratic at all but shh). I mean, I’m not good at convincing people by talking, since the people I disagree with are usually extremists or fanatics, and I tend to lose patience with them very fast, but I at least donate to a few human rights organizations. And in multiplayer games, I take a stance against toxicity and try to maintain a friendly and inclusive environment for everybody. So at least I’ve got that going for me. I believe that even if I’m not contributing to society in the traditional sense, I’m still leagues above toxic players in games and extremists in real life, who actively make people’s days worse and lives harder. Edit: Oh! And I forgor to ask… What do you think about the new Support weapon? I think it’s pretty neat. Like a power-crept EAT. I’m still probably going to run the AC over it for bots, though.
@@MutedAndReported3032 I appreciate your trust, no bother whatsoever. Maybe, if I'm allowed to give a more concrete tip, you can try changing your narrative. I mentioned the Pygmalion effect in one of my videos, which can be shortly summarized by saying: "You become what you believe you are." So what if (maybe for just a week) you spend time telling yourself: "I'm not the greatest, but I have my perks." As silly as that sounds, it might be worth a shot. I hope it ends up helping more than you could imagine (be sure to reflect and evaluate how it affected you at the end of the week). TL;DR "Lie" to yourself convincingly enough that you start believing it. The new gun is amazing! Did two short runs and other than slow projectile speed I haven't found big downsides yet. Even kills factories if you just tap the building from anywhere.

My secret weapon on bunkers is walking barrage. It takes some strategem knowledge, but you can throw it in the base and just walk away
Whoa nice! Any good sources or short summaries? 😁

You did say stratagem only, auto cannon is a stratagem and you still didn’t pick it up so I wouldn’t say it’s cheating lolz.
Fair enough haha! I appreciate the tolerance 😊
