  Really enjoyed this video. I really like how you show that whenever you're against bots, it's not about being the best gunfighter or having dead-eye accuracy but more so about situational awareness. Not saying you can't aim or anything lol, just saying that your game sense is amazing and every action you do in game contributes to your performance greatly. In a game where things can get chaotic pretty quickly, staying calm and focused while being able to make decisions is amazing in my opinion. I'm not super great at solo as I've only clocked in about 60 hours in the game as I purchased it last month but I hope I get there. Much love!

  I think the liberator guard dog is strongest on solo runs, I never saw it completely run out because you always got to have all the resupply drops, I would really like to have it be more ammo effective in random co op because thats basically all I play in

• 
  @newspiked738510 сағат бұрын

  Shouldn't make a big difference if it fully refills with one resupply, I don't think I really revisit resupplies on this one. They definitely should fix it so that small supply boxes help refill it too tho!

  @LordKelvinX208618 сағат бұрын

  The HMG used to be okay against bots purely because of the armor pen, but the buffs really pushed it into top tier. 1. The increased damage over the stock Machine Gun makes it really good for killing Devastators. Since they only have 3 chest armor and the HMG has 4 armor pen, you can just burst fire into their chest for fast kills, and you can't put a price on killing Devastators that quickly. The buff to its damage per round only made it better at doing this. 2. The Hulk's eye has 4 armor, so with a stun grenade you can stand right in its face and kill it, which feels awesome. The buffed damage also makes it a lot faster at killing them with heat sink shots. 3. There was a YT clip awhile back (before the buffs) that showed someone mag-dumping into a Factory Strider's stomach and killing it, which was wild given how underpowered the HMG was at the time. After the buffs, it can do that even more efficiently, even with the ROF nerf. 4. The buffs gave it more structural damage (from 23 to 50), so it can actually do decently against Gunships. There are better weapons for it, but just having the option on this weapon is really comforting, especially since there are random Gunship patrols now. 5. If you can get behind a Tank you can just dump into its heat sink and kill it (it has 3 armor so stock Machine Gun would have trouble doing this). It used to be harder before the buff to structural damage, but now it feels like getting the drop on a Tank lets you almost immediately delete it. 6. It can destroy small building objectives like AA and Mortar just by shooting them, which saves you the trouble of calling in a Hellbomb or using one of your stratagems. Super convenient. 7. The reload speed buff alone makes it so much more usable. Since it only has 75 rounds, having to spend 7 seconds reloading every time you quickly go through your mag felt like the game was punishing you for using the weapon. The faster reload leaves you less vulnerable, and it's even better if you can master doing tactical reloads and get the new Payroll Management System upgrade. So before the buffs, the HMG was just something you brought along bot missions for very specific niches (fast Devastator kills, killing Hulks from the front and mag-dumping Factory Striders). After the buffs, it's just better at everything and you don't feel like you're dragging your team down by bringing it. I don't think it's ever been good against bugs since every enemy smaller than a Charger only has 3 armor at the most so stock MG could kill them fine only with twice the mag size.

• 
  @newspiked738518 сағат бұрын

  Good breakdown! I know some people still enjoy HMG vs bugs but it feels like it's only really better at Charger ass kills, everything else the standard MG does better. Vs Bots it's a great choice. Still wish I could find some place for the Stalwart and MG vs Bots, but seems like HMG's the only good one for now
