Helldivers 2 // HMG's Turing Test - Terminid Coop Helldive - All Clear
Ойындар
Coop Helldive, Max Difficulty Lvl 9, all objectives (Main + Optional) completed, all outposts cleared, no personal deaths
Modifiers: Atmospheric Interference (Orbital Scatter Increased), Complex Stratagem Plotting (Call-In Time +50%)
Planet: Turing
Patch version: 1.000.305
I tried the HMG out on bugs when it was first released, but found it a little awkward for anything outside of Charger kills, its small magazine, long reload and low ammo pool making it a little impractical as a general purpose MG. This time I had some more success with it as a medium enemy + Charger specialist however, with the Breaker Spray & Pray handling light enemies and Stratagems for Titans.
I still think it could do with a slight magazine buff (up to 100) and/or reload speed increase however, though the addition of the 3rd person crosshairs really does help.
Shout-outs to my teammates @glaras4681, @originalSPECTER and Tiberius for this one! If you're looking to join us for some coop games, or do runs with other like-minded players, check us out on Warrior's discord: / discord

Build:
Unlike the other MGs, the HMG doesn't really have the ability to sustain fire against hordes for very long, so I'm relying on my Breaker Spray & Pray for most of the light hordes, while keeping the HMG ready on max firerate to whip out on mediums and Charger asses. Stun nades make those Charger kills a little easier, so I'm bringing the Grenade Pistol for closing bug holes.
The HMG is a hungry boi, so I'm bringing the Supply Pack to keep it fed. That leaves a couple of Strats for Bile Titans - this mission had free Rocket Pods, so I decided to drop the usual 500kgs and bring an Autocannon Sentry and Railcannon Strike instead, the lock-on on all 3 strats getting around the call-in time penalty (in theory anyway). In practice, the Rocket Pods were still pretty iffy with their targeting - I think I still prefer it vs the Automatons where it hits more reliably. Otherwise, I'd probably stick with the ol' reliable 500kg and Eagle Airstrike or Orbital Precision Strike.

The 0 deaths statistic at the end of the mission implies Spiked's Helldiver fought his way to another AO and managed to extract offworld like a badass.

I've had 5 HDs make it to their 5th mission. 4 died to FF and the other took a devistator rocket aimed at another HD to her face and launched head first into a wall that killed her (made me question why I even bothered with explosive resist heavy armour if I still get 1 shot from full health).

Yeah, funny how you never get one shot directly by a rocket now, but it's the impact damage from physics that will

This was really fun to watch. You guys blazed through on Helldive using non-meta loadouts and stratagems. I love to see it. Well done. And on a side note, how your dry wit fails to crack up your teammates is beyond me. I busted up laughing at the "and my axe" and "goose" responses.

That was quite the loadout, making use of some of the less popular weapons and anti-tank stratagems. Looking forward to the new warbond next Thursday. The new armor makes me wanna smack those pesky Scavengers, Hunters, and beheaded Brood Commanders more than ever before.

Thanks! And yeah, curious how big the melee bonus will be, and if it applies to the throwing knife as well...
You guys are so good. Enjoyed the video
respect for trying to make the HMG work, i dont love it that much against bugs but nice to see you experimenting! I get that they want to follow a trend of reload time and mag size for Stalwart -> Machine Gun -> Heavy machine gun, I think it would be interesting if instead of touching those two stats they just buffed the damage a lot so it takes less bullets to kill stuff without headshots
@newspiked7385
Ай бұрын
Yeah, it definitely takes getting used to, and I think it is better fit for bots. Being able to take out Charger asses quickly is something it has over the other two MGs, but tbh there's a bunch of primaries that can do that within a stun too. Higher damage would be an interesting one, if it could (can? I haven't really tested) one-tap light enemies that might make it more general purpose.

It takes very few HMG rounds to face plate. Other than the elite light bots, I'm pretty sure the over penetration DMG causes 1 shots except to torso. Bug or bot, it will rip legs if you have to sweep under pressure or don't have any stuns up. The BS&P idea to run v bugs is great. I hope it gets a little capacity back this week.
ASMR intensifies lmao. Great video!

No wait Mr. Democracy Officer, let me explain...
One: I love that you're using the Enforcer armor, while not the best it is my favorite looking armor in the game Two: For your communication with the radar tower and which way to turn it, my team I usually run with and I have switched to saying clockwise or counterclockwise, and since then we have never had any confusion on which way to rotate it.
@newspiked7385
Ай бұрын
It's my fashion choice for Turing, thanks to that purple ha! The thing about clockwise and anticlockwise is it's also confusing - what's clockwise on the control panel (looking down at the dish) is anticlockwise when turning the radar (looking up at the dish). But go with whatever works for the team, in the end!

40:45 I think the bile titan just stomped on Pelican 1 one too many times causing it to make an emergency takeoff. Pelican 1 probably has an an undisclosed amount of HP because I've witnessed it take off "randomly" a bunch of times while tanking attacks (mostly from bile titans), much to the confusion of everyone on the ground. Eagle 1 can also make an "emergency rearm" in the middle of an airstrike if she takes too much damage from the bot AA guns too (credit to Eravin for showing that off).
@newspiked7385

Good to know! The Emergency Rearm sounds interesting, I've seen her get downed by AA before but actually only ran into the forced rearm recently during a bug mission - I assumed it was a bug related to the free eagle pods though, like it mistakenly thought all my eagles had been used.

If you have to use the HMG on the Bile Titan, it can actually kill it by fully destroying the back/bile sack of the Titan. Might need more than 1 mag though not sure.
