Thoughts & Why I didnt make a video on the Sony situation: The situation is shitty, I hate that its happened in the first place, this was beyond stupid from sony, it literally makes NO SENSE at all. On a personal level, currently covering Helldivers 2 content this has a pretty big impact on me and my channel. Not only is this sony issue detrimental to the player count/player interest in helldivers 2, But also this major drama has caused a shift in youtubes algorithm regarding helldivers 2 as well, As most helldivers 2 viewers are focusing on the sony issue, the gameplays/tips content are being given less 'impressions' (aka: showing to less viewers) as it gives priority to the "hot" topic which is this big issue. I probably should've 'capitalized' on the drama and made videos about it, heck, we got people who have no interest in helldivers 2 from completely different games (and even non-gamers) jumping in and making videos on it to ride the "hate wave" and make some quick views (granted, sony deserves it) But honestly, i felt i dont have much to add, and as a youtube viewer i dont watch drama videos, so i wouldnt even know how to go on about that, i don't have an interest in talking about these things. My passion is with gaming and talking about INGAME stuff, like gameplay, ingame mechanics, tips & tricks, etc you get the point. If it werent helldivers 2, it'd just be something else Perhaps if i have something valuable to add to the conversation i can maybe make a video, but i'm just not a fan of what the youtubers are doing; "Hey, helldivers 2 got X negative reviews, the CEO said THIS, the community manager said THIS, the players are pissed!, X countries cant play" And its rinse and repeat rinse and repeat for dozens if not hundreds of videos on the subject all repeating the same information. Thats not a diss to the creators because i 100% get why they're doing it, our voices need to be HEARD, and as a youtuber, its the hot topic of the moment. But personally as a creator i feel weird repeating the same things as everyones saying. I could maybe add my thoughts to it, but is that something you guys would like to see? I don't know. I think about you guys when i make videos. I wanna make videos that YOU guys want to see, often times i struggle knowing what that is, and i hope i can continue to make the right moves. Yesterday i didn't post anything as i kinda hoped things would cool off, but its just heating up further, as sony continues doing the wrong thing. If i have something i deem interesting to add maybe ill talk about it, or if its something you guys really want to see, i just assumed you guys would be fed up about these videos so ive been reluctant to do so

Thank you for not jumping on it. I’ve been recovering from a surgery and watching your videos has been very helpful, as well as playing the game with friends, and right now negativity has quite a strong impact on me during recovery. The discussion boards and my Recommended are just full of this stuff, people acting like a bad decision a publisher made about a video game is equivalent to oppression or something, it’s ridiculous. It’s important people are heard, but it’s been so overblown in some places that it’s become a kind of indulgent misery.

Thanks for keeping focus on the gameplay and not on the negativity. The game may rebound from all this bullshit, or it'll crash and burn but I had a great time playing it for several hundred hours now and watching your gameplay.

My only issue with the fire tornados is that they have very obvious "player tracked" movement and will actively follow you around instead of moving randomly or with the wind (which affects the flames from the flamethrower, so there's no reason it can't also affect the tornados) I noticed this by getting into a location that the tornados physically could not get to and they all just moved straight to me and spun around the rock I was on and went no where else for the entire duration

Even if you don’t make helldivers content, I will still watch your videos. I like your personality and can relate to a lot of your interests and decisions made in game. I will admit that I have been watching a lot of news regarding the Sony situation as well, and it is disheartening but it’s not the first game to be ruined in such a way. Hopefully things work out.

Thank you brother for your content.

Would be cool as a ship module upgrade, to have like a Recon Data option displayed when your selecting the mission, that shows the majority of enemies that has been seen on the bug world, or how many heavy armor enemies on the bot worlds and so on. So you could kind of plan your loadout. Not an exact number, just like a % based thing.

I put Dive on Spacebar after trying that binding you use, and it is much better for me. I also intended to turn autovault off, but instead I rebound Vault to 1 of 2 side mouse buttons which also allows jumpacks to work and was easy for me to adjust to using. It turns out I like having the option of autovault as it only really accidentally triggers on Supply drops for me.

@The_takibo bro you're a beast. You should do some fun content jumping in others group helldive missions and saving their ass. Would be great content. Either way love your content keep it up!

26:46 For your Auto-climbing key assignment issue, I have a suggestion for you 😉 I set the jump to #spacebar --> double click, and leave the rest as it was, it took a short time to get used to, but it works very well for me ^^

How much time have you spent with the laser dog over the invulnerability shield? I was wondering if with some pratical application you feel confident speaking to the differences, pros vs cons, etc.

Curious takibo, when aiming do you fully ignore the compensating reticule and only focus on the hard reticule, or some kind of mixed awareness?

May I ask why you decided to run the peacemaker for this run?

Hey Takibo, love the content, just a question, do you actively avoid the missions with bile spewers? Bc you’ve never posted a solo run video with them. I would love to know how u deal with them as a solo or if u just don’t do them.

For solo , when i personaly encounter bile spuwers or nursers. I have the arc blitzer wich completly knocks them out of spewing animation cancels it. Works great on groups , if it becomes to much i usualy just call in an eagle.

At one point you mention people may struggle to clear hoards with just primary and flamethrower. I like to use the incendiary grenades instead of impacts for this reason, putting it in a choke point or leading them into the fire is very satisfying. (It either helps or I'm gaslighting myself insanely hard)

JFYI: dive = TAP, Climb = LONG and I use jumppacks. Jumppack triggers when I hold and have nothing to climb over.

Any recommendations for this build against bile spewers? I hate those things, only thing that seems to work for me is an impact grenade or a couple of the grenade pistol shots, which all go quick and take awhile.

@jakemaxwell3810

Ай бұрын

I think impact grenades are the best tool against them. Just being careful about kiting is important too, since they recently had their walking speed slowed. EAT/napalm/flamer/airstrike also answer them.

Just a comment on the spacebar long hold for climb, I have this mapped, but have no issue with using the jump pack. As long as I'm not in a climb situation, it seems to interpret the long hold space to activate the jump pack.

You make this look so easy!

What armor combo do you run with this loadout?

I like having climb on hold shift and have sprint on press. It’s toggle sprint and when you want to climb you hold shift.

Why do you prefer the shield instead of the guard dog? If the idea is to get more kills and the bugs don't shoot as much? btw.. awesome content.

which armour were you using and perk?

in my loadout wit turrets i rack up on average a lot more kills than normal, generally i opt for autocannon but gatling is very effective too, specially in missions like this one when you have to hold the position for a while

What if to try and always leave one living bug with you, so that it calls for bug breach whenever the timer resets?

What's a good general recommendation for diver level vs mission difficulty as a solo player? For example, diver levels 1-10 = mission difficulty 1-2. 10-20 = difficulty 2-3, etc? Or does such a thing not make much sense and one should just keep increasing the mission difficulty until you can't clear?

@jakemaxwell3810

Ай бұрын

It's not relevant after 20 when you have all the good stratagems. Diver level is just an experience tracker. It's more important to "git gud."

A comment on suppressed weapons: I recently saw a video about stealth in this game that seems to show that sound makes very little difference to the ability of bots and bugs to notice you

Which armor do you use and which is best?

These videos are starting to get therapeutical for me ngl. gg

what primary weapon do you using?

23:42 in term of weaknesses with this build... what do you do in a map with bile spewers ? flamethrower is very hard to use and flame breaker is not the best for them either. Honestly if I run this and see biles i would just quit :D

Can you share settings and gpu cpu?

What do you do if you get bile spewers spawns on your drop?

I've watched allot of your videos - you reload about as frequently as I do - I always try and squeeze as much ammo out as possible 😄

To answer your question on if your bad at reloading... I don't think your bad at reloading, I think you forget to let the reload animation finish. This in the past has cost you mags, now you do sometimes forget to reload all weapons before pulling from the resupply. Otherwise awesome video, can't wait to see more.

I'm a solo player at a much lower level an I respect everyone of your videos

27:47 I had this same issue, but fixed it by making it so a single tap is climb and a double tap is leap. Works well for me

use more grenades :) they are really good. 2-3 grenades can get you a lot of time to avoid being overwhelmed. They are really efficient in those types of planets (and also on planets with lots of spewers)

What's up legend.

You ever think about doing a run where you don't bring a support weapon but instead find one on the map? Seems like there are flamethrowers and arc throwers all over the maps.

I'd say that your playstyle invites an armor with med-kit trait. :)

Do you think this would be a good team play style where 1 person would grab attention and the others deal with the obj considering there is a skill gap and you’re doing this to carry lower skill players?

I find it's usually better to stick together to concentrate fire and cover each other. There are also more patrol spawns when multiple players are spread out. I think it's for each player 75+ meters away from the others, an extra patrol can spawn every 2 minutes.

If you're going for max kills wouldn't you want to keep the shrieker's nest "alive"?

Bile spewers are definitely the weakness to the build. Flamethrower requires you to get too close for comfort and the incendiary breaker can't handle them. Grenades basically end up being your answer but you have a very limited amount...

I know its just RNG but how you have 2 stalker nests and only 1 stalker appears!?

any tips for throwing nades into bug holes, 60% of the time mine make it into the hole but it doesnt close

@jc6226

Ай бұрын

I have issues with that using impact grenades as you have to be more precise than timed nades, and bugs spawning take the nade half the time. If using impact, clear a bug spawn from 3-5 meters in front of hole, then aim and toss. Also, the grenadier suit he is using in this vid is actually what I always use for bug missions with nests to clear. Combined with Efficient packing bosster or well-timed supply drops, you have plenty of chances.

I wish that we could buy more Information about the Planet with the money we get after each mission, i am always capped out on 50k and it is pretty useless once you got all the strategems bought, they could at that a single Player could buy the information or everyone on the Team pays 25%, they should also add how the terrain might be cause weapons like the spear are heavily effected by it

I have stratagem on my spacebar. Dive on mouse button, climb on other mouse button. Auto climb on.. Turned off auto climb and after 4-5 hours I want it back. There are definitely terrain issues now. I'll practice a couple few more hours with it off but ..... Right meow I want it back. There's so much more room for activities with it on since it works on terrain with sprint vs pressing the button. #secondsmatter

I just did my first solo helldive because your videos inspired me. Thanks so much! Also question, how come you don’t destroy nests?

I’m glad you just made a statement and didn’t make the entire video about the Sony issue, some of us couldn’t care less tbh. Good job. Good content.

I tried launching a mission solo and immediately got stunlocked by stalkers, i re-deployed and the stalker as soon as I hit the ground jumped on me and I got stunlocked again.
