It’s up to preference in my opinion because sometimes your resupply is left in the enemy lines when you play solo

I just started using that armor for bots 2 days ago. I had been running a full heavy armor with the same passive and when doing a collection inspection I realized I had the Enforcer that was close to what I was using but just a hard faster. It's been working great. Used it and a heavy machine gun to secure squad extraction last night during a particularly nasty bot raid. Holds up really well under heavy fire and turns missiles into ping pong paddles.

Orbital precision strike all day. Once you figure out the timing its stronger the the railcannon strike with a bigger aoe then the 500k. With the ship module its almost always up. People sleep on it because its such an early stratagem but its honestly s tier right into helldive. It kills everything except gunship factories.

@BlaggerYT

Definitely agree with you, I think a lot of people (myself included) sleep on it due to its learning curve with timings etc, but like you said if you can get that timing down its a great stratagem to use! 🫡

@@TheKayShawn idk, I play on 7 and it's pretty helpful for killing hulks and any devastators. Of course, I use cover with it

I can explain by giving the right and logical arguments , why plasma punisher is the best weapon against automatons. The first reason, is that the shield of the devistators will usually give you a ricochet if the weapon is not energy based or explosive ( ex. Eruptor) , so your inly option is to aim for the head . The second reason , is that you always have to hit the enemies directly in order for them to deal some damage , whereas the explosive weapon and the energy based weapons, might damage them even if you shoot near them ( that is why the eruptor was the best weapon brfore nerfing it). So, based on the fact the the plasma punisher stuns the enemies , and also has a greater damage and ammunition capacity than the scorcher its the goat.

Since the update, you can hit gunships far more easily too. It used to be almost impossible, now I can do it semi-consistently. Haven’t done proper testing but it seemed to be 2-3 shots to a thruster killed. I’ve been using it since it released, more kills with it than any other weapon. Truly the goat

I have yet to unlock the plas punisher but I can easily say that the Jar 5 is the second-best if you're right about Plas punisher. Chaff takes 1 shot and devastators get stunned as hard as they get from an Autocannon, and they go down in 1-2 well placed shots. Jar takes down gunships, tanks, mortars, and pretty much everything. Surprisingly enough. I've been running Jar against the bugs and it does awesome there as well, basically like a support weapon whilst a flamethrower or an arcthrower are the primary.

Hey, great video man, as someone who's primarily played bugs so far, I really enjoyed this Build Video. Since I wanna get started on bots, obviously without a lot of prior experience, it was concise, but still elaborate enough to understand not just what Equipment and Stratagems you need, but also why they're good!

This is so close to what i already run and i would only change the armor, swap out the mortar and booster. I mostly run solo so the armor i take is the Trailblazer scout set for the increased movement speed, stealth buff and radar ping. The Jetpack to me is invaluable to get into bases undetected and can help break a pursuit by simply jumping over a wall. There's also the added benefit that nearly all extractions become trivial with a Jetpack, simply lie down on top of the tallest piece of terrain in the area and you can easily stealth-extract. Even easier if you abuse pelican-1's guard-mode to clear the area. As for the booster i tend to go for the UAV booster to help me avoid almost all enemy patrols as i move around the map.

@@reaper_exd7498 It's not OP like it used to be but I agree, it's not the most exciting.. I disagree that it's the best for anti tank or heavy armor, I believe there are several others suited just as well for that (EAT, Recoilless, SPEAR, Airburst, Anti Materiel) depending on different circumstances. When Quasar was ridiculous, I never even wanted to use any other stratagem, so at least there's that. I am curious to see what's included in the 100+ changes.

Lately I've been rocking: - light or medium armor with fortified - pummeler (scorcher is great too) - grenade pistol my beloved - stun grenades - recoilless rifle - basic eagle airstrike (the goat) - 380mm or orbital laser depending on mission type - and the autocannon sentry whenever the 4th slot is available

@@BlaggerYTI tend to go for weapons that require backpacks when there's only 3 strategem slots, so when someone else already has an anti tank option I'll gladly take the AC. Love the AMR aswell, but i only take it when i can run a backpack alongside it. And yes I just adore the recoilless so it's my go to option.

Don’t get me wrong, this is brilliant. But I like this. *points to HMG emplacement with the bubble shield*

While the Eruptor isn’t as great as it used to be, it now one shots Striders from the front and two shots any Devastator type (one if headshot of course)

I’m not very good/don’t like AMR very much. So I use auto cannon or some form of antitank. Other than that, that’s what I have found work best too. After running the EMP mortar instead of a shield backpack for a while, I firmly believe this is the way to go. No need for a backpack when the enemies can’t fire at you.

Nvr thought of the emp against bots. Not sure why i didnt. Will give it a try

I like the plasma shotty but I didn't unless the Plas 1 for no reason so I'll give it a try.. This build is similar to what I run but instead of the AMR I use the laser cannon for the hulks and tanks etc..

The AC fits my build fine and rarely use the AMR since I rely on the AC for utility too. Also, you can bust open containers with the AMR but not factories. I use the plasma shotgun now, mostly since the eruptor nerf. The rest of my kit is leaning towards heavy kills and artillery shelling. Love your build. They complement each other.

The AC is definitely a great weapon and I normally find the choice is between that and the AMR most times when facing the bots. Can't go wrong with either and it's down to personal preference 🫡

If you are not head shorting with counter sniper you ain’t living. One shot devastators with a primary that feels and fires good.

i use the 500kg (Sometimes switch it out with railcannon strike), eagle airstrike, AMR, and the supply pack for the ammo, stims, and grenades I use the sickle as my primary, the senator as my secondary, and i take any kind of armor that gives me extra stims

It's a bit of an adjustment using the AMR but once you've got your accuracy down it's an amazing weapon to have! And although the EMS Doesn't fire as much as the regular mortar it does have a larger area of impact stopping a lot of enemies from attacking you and with the added bonus of not killing any of your fellow helldivers 👍

I would LOVE to be able to customize sights on rifles. At the very least, a zoom function for snipers and the AMR

Pretty similar to what I run into bot missions. Same armor, but a couple of other tweaks. Plasma Punisher, Redeemer, Stun Grenades. Supply Pack, AMR, Eagle Airstrike, Orbital Precision Strike. Booster just depends on what others are running, but the big 3 are obviously Stamina, Vitality, and the Hellpod Optimization. I'll always just pick whichever one of those haven't been picked yet. I haven't actually unlocked the grenade pistol yet, so I haven't tried it. I use the redeeme a LOT, but I'll definitely give the grenade pistol a fair shake.
