Definition of chad lol

People in general just dont know how to use MG's, especially for this game. I've had no issues with it and love the damage it does, i just wish it came with a 100rd drum 😢 Firstly, adjust the RPM to its lowest setting. This is needed to control your bursts of fire. Second, you are NOT the point man in your squad, your job is support fire which means you should be in the middle of your squad so that you can react to sudden bot drops or bug holes. But the overall idea is to ensure you can get yourself set up to provide support fire before the last man covering the rear passes by you to assult an objective. Third, this thing takes time to reload. As a result, unless you really need to, then fire very short bursts, on the lowest RPM I can fire it close to semi auto. Fourth, only fire this (unless by exception) from kneeling or, ideally, from the prone position. Fifth; I equip the energy shield as it gives me more chance of having uninterrupted reloads if the bots return fire, or if I get ambushed by a bug (or ten) that randomly spawn next to me on the map whilst im prone. It increases your survivability and thats what matters. Finally, sixth: instead of the Orbital Railcannon I use Orbital Laser as it can take out some of the largest targets whilst still killing other smaller targets and this suits me for opportunities to reload my HMG and/or if my squad and I need to break contact due to sudden spawn rushes which can be seriously spammed by the game in the higher difficulties near the end of missions and prior to extraction. Hope that helped someone out there!

As someone who has run this loadout since I started, the grenade pistol is also great for taking out one or even two walkers or hive guards in a pinch when you can't quite get around their armor. I also prefer the 110s over the airstrike, since it not only works on fabs, but has a surprisingly wide targeting radius, is capable of killing chargers, hulks, tanks, and finishing cracked titans and striders, all with multiple uses before it has to reload. Between that and the railcannon, you hardly ever have to worry about big stuff and when you do, break out the hmg. It's even better when you play with people you know are going to be good with supplies, because then you can bring along guard dogs/energy shield or the ballistic shield and be a walking tank with that stun smg.

@mrclutchcookie

6 күн бұрын

Agreed I haven't messed with the normal machine gun a whole lot but I can say that the HMG can get it done with the bugs but forsure better against bots

There are a million variations on this. For bots, I often use a similar loadout but I use the plasma shotgun. It's a little better all around, it can deal with walkers and heavy devs with easy, something the submachine can struggle with. It's also better a horde clear. The Pummeler is awesome though, I love it with the ballistic shield. The supply pack is the real star and highly underrated. Being able to just spam the plasma shotgun, grenades and stims is strong. Sometimes, I don't even need to pull out the heavy machine gun. My friend loves the AMR and he has a habit of faceshotting everything I stun. For bugs, you can run the supply pack and get strong results too. Take the Incendiary Breaker, impact grenades, the Medic armor and pistol of your choice and a Quasar, I personally use the railgun and either 500 or Airstrike. Just hose everything with the breaker to kill hordes, use impacts on spewers and the Quasar for holes, chargers and Biles. You can one shot the chargers in the face. With the Biles, you can railgun them and finish them with a single impact to wherever the railgun hit. You can use the Eagle to close holes or whatever utility you need. Honestly, the last slot is a bit of a wildcard and can be used for whatever you need for a given mission or to plug holes in your squads loadout. I sometimes run a turret there too. For the pistol, I tend to take the Senator. Your breaker and impacts can handle most things but I like the Senator to deal with things like Hive Guard so I don't need to burn a grenade.

i recently use the Heavy MG too, i set the firerate on the lowest and i take the armor with the crouch accuracy boost with 30% and it mow down every bot

They are ambush or fortification weapons. Machine gun, supply, and emp orbital is my bread and butter. You stun the whole patrol and lay out withering fire. If it's an objective like seismic mission on a bot world I run shield bubble and lay down. Eagle strike any tanks that get drop shipped in.

my only swap would be the plasma punisher. Since the supply pack replaces the shield pack, and bots are WAY more accurate and numerous, something to AOE the yard trash and push the medium enemies around is really a quasi defensive choice as well. I replaced the rail strike with the new precision strike. Way better up time, 70s I think. Easily enough time to run to the next fabricator and yeet in a shot from space. fast enough to hit a hulk stunned twice. One shot a titan. If I miss, fug it.

Lately my go to off meta bug build has been scythe+ grenade pistol+ thermite grenades+ laser cannon+ jumppack/shieldpack+railgun orbital and 500kg. I wear light gunner armor and servo assisted helmet. While the burst DMG is very poor the sustained DMG is nuts, you can keep swapping between beam weapons to maintain infinite cover fire, as long as you aim for limbs you can drop anthing asides for chargers and bile titans quick. Then for them either use one of the strategems or stick a few thermite grenades and blast the sacks. While the laser cannon can kill a bile titan through its sack it takes insane amounts of time, keep the thermites handy.

@@mrclutchcookie it's a fairly unique playstyle that can feel extremely off-putting to some, the lack of any stagger means bugs get on you fast so light armor is a must, but without a shieldpack you are too squishy to hunters. Making light gunner the best armor pick for the shoot and scoot playstyle. I'd say thermites are non optional as well. Often you will find yourself with both offensive strategems on cooldown while a titan/charger chases you, thermite grenades make it actually viable to engage these targets with ur beams. However replacing the cannon with the quasar, thermites with impacts and grenade pistol with a dagger is also super viable, but if you play H9 there will likely be a prohibitive number of bile spewers, so airburst orbital or cluster bomb is highly recommended to replace the railgun.

I was running a wonky build that was the most fun I've had in the game against the nids. Ive been running diff 8 and it's Very off meta. Liberator conc, grenade pistol, thermite, flame thrower, supply pack. Light armor with servo assist or extra padding. The two other stratagems could be anything, I used railgun strike and air strike. Air strike to put on bug breeches and rail gun for titans. The reason it's fun is because you always find yourself in strange situations and all the tools you need. Is it ideal to throw 4 thermites on a bile titan and run under it with the flame thrower? No. Is it fun? You betcha. Also even though thermite isn't that effective it's fun watching the chargers lit up like a chinese new years dragon while they run around. You can burn them and shoot them back with the lib conc into the fire. with the supply pack you can waste ammo and throw thermites egregiously. throw a thermite on a stalker then shoot it away with the lib conc. if you can hack it they definitely will buff a few things to (hopefully) make it better. Namely the lib conc and thermite. Might make it into the meta then

used this build often in the past against bugs but with the normal Breaker, supplybackpack definetly aids in making this Shotgun shine again even compared to the Incindiary i also love.

I use this one without Supplybackpack because it get just one mag from one refil, its rather low and like a random ammobox on the map, i dont mind it much it works very good even without backpack so i use the slot for something else but it would be nice if they buff/fix this, i tested all 3 and the Stalwart AND Heavy MG both get 2 full mags from the backpack but the medium MG in the middle just one? not fair if you ask me.

I have tried this build, this exact build, actually, a good dozen times, but the problem with the HMG is, in my experience, is that to be able to aim it well, you need to set it to 450 fps but even then it still exposes you more than say a AMR or Auto Cannon will to get the kill. Everything the HMG does I can do with the AMR faster. I actually had the most success with the HMG paired with the Plasma Punisher as the PP can take out 5 to 8 small bots in a single shot and stagger and it culled a lot of the chaff allowing me to get shots on medium targets with the HMG more consistently. You can definitely make the HMG work, but it is an active choice, in my opinion, to up the difficulty versus choosing the AMR or AC.

I'd say that orbital laser is better on bots than railstrike because of how fast it kills large fabricator bases and can bail you out when you are overrun. Against bugs, I think orbital rail strike has too long of a cool down and leads you to be overrun by chargers and BTs. If you want to run an orbital, Precision strike is better imho especially when paired with stall tactics against BTs and stun grenades against chargers. Cool down is short enough to use on fabs and turrets and with stun grenades you can take out heavy bots. Otherwise I like EATs as my flex stratagem on bugs.

I have a friend who ALWAYS run EATs and I've used them too and I LOVE them, they are very clutch when you need them and the cool down is amazing and the only reason I choose railcannon over laser is that I get unlimited railcannons and the cool down is shorter than the laser.

The HMG, while it says “Medium Penetration” just like the regular MG-43, is actually one rank better than it at Medium 2 instead of Medium 1. This means it’s doing full damage to parts the MG-43 would do half to, and half to parts the 43 would bounce off of.

I'm surprised anyone would want to handicap himself so much to use HMG. I've played Helldivers 2 for 300 hours and I can honestly say literally every other support weapon would be a vastly better choice.

It never felt like a handicap lol it felt fun and actually pretty good to use I like trying different loadouts to see what works and what doesn't, this isn't the best build ever but I was forsure able to make it work

I hate how dead bodys absorb your hmg bullets Me when auto correct

That can be annoying but the worst is when you get lit up through a rock

I play vs bugs all the time , difficulty 7-9. Any weapons that require you to stop and kneel to reload are not fkexible enough.

It can make it tough for bugs but I haven't run into too many issues with it. I'm definitely more of a bot player but I did test this on bugs and it was getting it done

Eagle airstrike is overrated. Orbital rail and orbital laser is the best ones. Rail for obvious big guys and also for if you need a fabricator or tower down quickly and they’re unlimited. Then the laser ? You get 6. And man do they come in handy with groups and big guys all at once

I do love the laser and idk if this what a typo but from what I remember you only get 3 lasers but if you use it at the right times it can be very clutch and helpful and to each their own but what I've found most useful is the airstrike given that if you place it right, you can take out heavy mobs as well as small enemies

I think it's only 3 but I also can not get on and check but if it does reset after 3 I might have to start running it... either way I do love the laser especially when my teammates have it and use it wisely

This is cool and all but can we keep talking about how Sony still has not unblocked Helldivers 2, 180 countries a process that as Valve has advised is a simple email from Sony to reverse the ban? It's been a month and still no unbanning.

I agree that them not unbanning those countries is ridiculous I plan on doing a video talking about this... it's not fair to them that because of where they live they cannot play a video game hopefully we see some news on this soon so don't worry we will keep talking until something is changed and also I'm glad you liked the video

I appreciate showing builds that aren’t «meta» and I always liked the HMG, the Autocannon is just too useful against all types of bots for me to use anything else. But don’t you think it would be better to show a video where the build is actually successful? You got destroyed half way through the video and never picked the gear back up

You right demy, this wasn't the best showing of the build, you and other have pointed that out and it was something I also noticed that I'm going to improve upon. This was my first time doing a video like this so I appreciate the feedback and I always will and I will strive to be better and make better videos as I make more.

With this build things won't get ugly lol to each their own like I said at the beginning I was never trying to say this was the best build, or a meta build, this is one for fun... one for those like me that have a ton of time in and like to try new things, everyone talks about the meta/overpowered build I tried to make one that was fun and unique

I agree I took the hmg and proceeded to havey worst match in weeks. Turned me away hard but I've been wanting to make it work and you got alot of good tips here, like heavy armor, I would have never tried it. But I will later tonight. Thanks for the advice. We gotta remember we dive for fun too.

@ginikalgo3918 that's what it's all about, have some fun and what's great about helldivers is it lets you try different loadouts and strategies and sometimes they work, sometimes they dont... but if you can find something that is fun for you, you won :)

@@Beef1188 every gun is viable The HMG isn't bad in itself It does a very good job if you look at the video it's actually a very good gun and a lot of other people agree The problem is it's not as versatile as other weapons in the game autocannon for example. I ran the hell does all night we extracted every single time and that was with random. I mean it's not like I'm advocating to Tesla Tower here

Gues its good on paper and in theory, but I have to see someone who can make this work, yet. Even this vid is not convincing. And ingame, anyone sporting the heavy machinegun is just a liability.
