Yeah, a lot of one-shots on Titans, and those were just the ones I saw!

I've seen a lot of people disliking ARL, but this is only the start of understanding the power of this weapon Honestly, it's lovely to see a fellow Helldiver using this crunchy weapon of mass destruction! P.S. (I have played alot with Airburst and the only advice I can give is: shoot into the ground prior to the centre of patrols/groupped up enemies/bug breaches. Also it can one shot chargers if they are stunned after bashing into the wall and if you hit under their sack directly. The subexplossions deal max damage to the belly when they happen so maybe it will help you next time. Peace!) P. P. S. it's good for bot drops and ironically it cannot one shot gunships lol

​​​​@@newspiked7385 About spewers: they feel alot disbalanced as enemies overall (cause of immense amount of health). ARL cannot oneshot them because of it. Just a balancing issue. In terms of killing hiveguards/medium enemies: the priority of this weapon is light enemies instaclear and the weapon makes medium enemies weaker but often doesn't oneshot them (however you can if you detonate it under them directly) And the chargers lifehack I have found completely by accident and I use it consistently whenever I clear out patrols/bugbreaches/points of interest IMHO if they added staged reload/animation cancelling for the weapon it would make it much better and more comfortable to use but for the last it is already fine and crunchy as intended

@@newspiked7385 of course. It was a shame that it can't pop up those green/brown balloons as intended. But we'll see when balancing patch arrives. Also, just returned from bots mission and ARL can oneshot Hulks (in the heatsink) and two shot if you detonate it right behind their legs (important note to aim between and a little bit further to the distance their legs). BTW I'm just one of those players who like to f*ck around and find out. Recently I made my personal kill record (700~) with: Recoilles rifle for my support weapon, Gas and EMS orbital strikes (firstly, you stun the bug breaches, secondly gas go BOOM) and HMG gun emplacement (it's really cool to clear out medium/light enemies with such an ease). I have used Scorcher as my primary and Grenade Pistol for my secondary (in order to close bug holes). Try it out with a team and you can be the best supportive trash cleaner out there (Recoilles for Titans OP - even with new animation cancelling tech (cuts off 1/3 time required to reload the gun)

The biggest issue with the Tenderizer is it should have been in the free Warbond as one of the Sidegrade options for the Liberator. As far as Automatic Rifles go it’s my favorite one out of the current selection, even as is.

It's not bad, I think it's just a little indistinct - I can't tell that there's any bonus stagger, and how it performs (slightly weaker but more stable liberator) doesn't really gel with its description as higher caliber and harder-hitting, which is catching people off-guard.

Love the vids Spiked - it's great to see such good teamwork and no obnoxious commentary.

Airburst feels so close to greatness. Like with some small change it will be great fun. Maybe just being a tad more effective against medium armour targets.

Bring impacts if your loadout lacks the ability to kill spewers. Otherwise stun nades are so good for grouping enemies, a couple stun nades and an eagle airstrike can stuff a bug breach instantly. I love to run autocannon for the spewers and bring 6 stun nades for easy charger kills and better airstrikes. 500 kg for bile titans of course

Love the airs burst against terminids

Tip for anyone using airburst, the proper way to use the weapon is to aim above the enemy henceforward the weapon being called (airburst) it’s meant to be primed in the air before the ground for maximum area devastation. That is why a lot of people die using it, they shoot it directly forward then above.

General Brasch’s primary weapon is a SEAF Artillery, filled with maxi-nukes.

Well done now that was true team work alright!

It's not bad but it should really have the AP to kill medium enemies like spewers and brood commanders considering how long the reload is.

I haven't been able to perform well with the airburst rocket launcher yet. You managed to get far more kills with it than I thought you would. I feel like it wasn't displaying the kills properly on the HUD.

I haven't used the Airburst Rocket Launcher even after they fixed most of its proximity issues, but I'd love to one day run it in a base defense mission with a friend whom I can trust to do a team reload. I've also watched a couple guide videos on it that showed that it's also really good at breaking terminid eggs from afar.

@@newspiked7385 You can kill a charger with almost any weapon during the post-charge animation. Something to do with its leg armor not working during that window.

I'm a big fan of the deserts too for their huge canyons and sandstorms. The ashy planets like Nibel are pretty cool as well...hard to pick one, as with everything I like variety!

I might try it out because the devs said it now only triggers from enemies and helldivers

Ah it varies honestly, but if you join the discord in the description link you should see me jump in a voice channel most nights. Come by and say hi!

Unless it's too much hassle, please add a 2-minute personal opinion on either the loadout overall or each item in particular. It can be very useful for the rare/uncommon choices to hear your thoughts on how the Tenderizer's doing/feeling and so on, maybe even some feedback in case a dev gets to watch this. I've said in a previous comment that I'm really enjoying stun grenades with Orbital Precision Strike... but I have to use up two grenades and sometimes I wanna use a stun before an Eagle Airstrike, sooo I'm trying out stun + sticking an EAT-17 on the charger. I don't always land the stick so that's a skill issue. Call-in time is longer so charger has more chances to kill me. And finally not all EAT-17 drops do kill the charger (but they do strip armor consistently). I lose out on the Precision Strike AoE, I gain one or two EAT-17s for any other chargers or titans nearby. And it feels satisfying when it works; suggesting you give it a try :P Also, thoughts on shrinking the game HUD? I run with small HUD, slightly curved, and subtitles on source rather than at the bottom of the screen and it helps with the immersion; highly recommended. The vault and the supply drop at the start were a mirage, you can't convince me otherwise. And for some reason, I tend to need a moment to realize if Spiked either says "Ori" or "Warrior". But then again, I seldom also think 'Arti' is player and not enemy artillery xD Good video, fun watch, do more melee kills on tiny things!

I do include a writen breakdown in the description each time, and in my solo videos I try and pepper them into my commentary - for coop games though there's not much chance for me to slip in some commentary on the setup. I've avoided doing longer intros as I prefer my videos to get right to it, but hopefully the description + footage speak for themselves :P. I'll think about it tho! I just tend to cringe up when I hear myself read out scripted stuff, commentary feels more spontaneous and natural to me. Yeah, I find the stun nade -> orbital works best with armours that have the extra 2 nades, or loadouts with a supply backpack. Your EAT setup sounds great tho, just realised I haven't done an EAT video yet, I know Warrior loves killing Chargers with the drop too. Haven't thought much about tinkering with the HUD, but I might mess around with it a bit - just haven't felt the need to yet. I've seen people turn up their FOVs massively, but that just messes with my depth perception / gauging of distances. Don't fall for Tib's lies - he's taken one stim too many!
