Helldivers 2 // Pummeler Field Test - Terminid Coop Helldive - All Clear - Pummeler & Stalwart Build

Ойындар

Coop Helldive, Max Difficulty Lvl 9, all objectives (Main + Optional) completed, all outposts destroyed, 0 personal deaths.
Modifiers: Intense Heat, Sandstorms
Planet: Phact Bay
Patch version: 1.000.303
The new Warbond is out, and I'm having fun trying out these new toys. The reception's been a little mixed so far, but at least the Pummeler seems to be universally liked, and for good reason - with similar damage output to the fan favourite Defender, but improved stagger, this SMG is a very nice addition to the one-handed primaries, able to stunlock Stalkers and even Chargers with ass shots (see 13:00 for some single and double Stalker stunlocks). An SSD mission makes for a perfect opportunity to try it out.
Shoutout to my teammates ‪@inexorablewarrior‬, Tiberius, and Ori for the game! 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:
A simple swap of the Pummeler in for the Adjudicator on my last build - while this leaves me a little slower vs medium enemies, my teammates can fill in on that front while I focus on the lights with the Stalwart. Pummeler comes in very handy not just when carrying the SSD, but also for stunlocking enemies that are charging down teammates - while its damage will be a little slower than going ham with the Stalwart, that crucial stagger can buy your teammates time to get free.
I've also experimented with using the SMG hipfire to lock down a Charger while you get behind them for ass kills, which works well for bursting them down quick with an HMG magdump. Stalwart is more reliable for allround trash clear though. Grenade Pistol means I can take out bug holes from afar.
500kg has Titans handled, with Eagle Airstrike for Chargers and large crowds, then Orbital Precision Strike on its separate cooldown for any heavy targets, particularly good when paired with the Stun grenades on Chargers.
I'm trying out the new White Wolf medium armour on rotation, which does leave me with only the default number of grenades though, so I'm going to have to be more selective with when I use them. That bonus armour does come in handy though!

    I think as long as both players and devs give each other time to let things find their way, it'll go far. Knee jerk reactions help no one, players need time to figure out how to use stuff, devs need time to make fixes and balance things. Avoid toxicity wherever you find it, remember the positives, and don't take anything too personally.

    Gotta filter out some of the doomers sometimes :P I thought some of the latest balance changes were pretty good, only the Eruptor and Crossbow changes were maybe questionable but still well-intentioned, meanwhile everyone seemed to ignore the buffs to the Railgun and Blitzer. Blitzer's a beast now, and the tweaks to the Railgun seemed small but made it much more practical. Charger kills don't need full charges and so are much faster, and Heavy Devastator shields can be penetrated again. The rest of the QOL changes were welcome too. I'm having fun!

    Incredible content and playability with your team mates. I have to ask, as a sub could you do me a favor? Can you do a video on your game mechanics and tactics with fav loadouts for bugs and bots? There is so much info out there, i know we have to try what works for us. But where i get lost is i might do well 1 run and have 5 crap runs. You don't stop moving ever and i think that helps you. You would get a ton of views making some tutorials. Think about it!

    Thanks! I've thought about tutorial videos, there's just so much to cover! Maybe if I can split the video up into more focussed topics. Every build plays differently too, it's hard for me to pin down favourites as I'm constantly experimenting for different mission types, which is why I like my current format. At least for the solo vids, I can drop some tips whenever specific situations arise, it's tough to try and think of it in a vacuum otherwise.

  • @vampirelordx1
    @vampirelordx12 ай бұрын

    I’m a be real here, personal opinion, may get flamed, but this game should be balanced for 4 player co-op. Solo-ing should be a nightmarish slog, because you are actively choosing to handicap your ability to succeed by going in alone. I’m tired of Tubers inciting rage on discord and twitter. The weapons you drop with are there to deal with specific situations, and stratagems are ment to open up your repertoire and give you options that your team doesn’t have covered. Have 1-2 guys running crowd control? Load up on EATS or a recoiless with 500kg and a rail strike and be HVT elim. Have a lot of anti armor? Get a med-pen weapon and bring in the gas and napalm with a stalwart. Fill the holes in your team and you will find success.

    I agree, as far as enemy balancing. You drop in a mission alone, you should have the same enemy spawn rates/patrols/engagements as a full 4-man. Hell, it would be cool if there was an enemy fear/determination factor. Enemies figure out you’re a 1 man and actively hunt you down. Or they watch you deal with three engagements and slaughter through nests/fabricator sites while getting objectives and sub objectives making them a bit more tactful in getting more allies to overwhelm you. 100% should feel like you are always tip toeing on the line of death/mission failure while solo. But the weapon balancing/building in this game is atrocious at times LOL

  • @newspiked7385

    @newspiked7385

    Well apparently the solo patrol spawn rate is now the same as with a full team, so we're getting there :P. Agreed with all the dooming and raging, it's honestly exhausting. Yes, a bunch of weapons could do with tweaks, but anyone claiming that the game doesn't have a variety of strong, viable options is tripping, and the devs clearly do try and buff some things that have been underperforming too. People just gotta give them time and keep the criticism constructive, and also avoid the temptation to blame the game when skill / teamwork issues are at play.
