【Helldivers 2】SOLO Helldive All Clear Flamethrower Gameplay「Destroy Eggs」 

Aim for a front leg. You don't have any armor to penetrate.

yep, can kill chargers quite fast, 27:17 has a decent showcase of how to kill a charger fast with the flamethrower, you want to focus the same leg. The legs have less HP compared to the body. If you make the HP of the limb, leg at this instance, zero then the charger will die.

He doesn’t die, he just realizes he can no longer charge and just gives up.

@@Brandon-ml2zw😂

@@Brandon-ml2zw”ah shi, my leg is crispy. Im done boys.”

That actually is pretty funny

Then he dies🤣

cant believe it stuck to his head 😂

Nailed 'em

Too bad the bomb doesn't actually land on the target it sticks on most of the time

Also shows how fucking bad the 500kg bomb is.. should be called 5 kg bomb

​@@JonthenNwe need aerosol bombs for our space nam

Video just proves how dogshit it is 😅

Purge them in holy fire!

Purge them in holy fire!

Nothing is duplicated they fixed that

You get 2 500kg if you have the your the ship modules fully upgraded for it

And the cool down is non existent if you have the other ones fully upgraded too

Not the nukes, but the enemy lmao

target down cuz it killed some other bugs

Yea just more spongy enemies Spawn. So basically the same thing but not really but basically the same. Balances out

Well they're officially trying their best to make them spongier, lol

@bschneidez they are?

Thanks

I tried it - it's great support in a 4 player round. But I wouldn't recommend it 1v1. The Flamethrower is enough "firepower" for going solo. Now if they make different sources of fire STACK? That will be my loadout against bugs. Every time.

how was it?

@@kage_hunteramazing since it leaves flames on the ground. Also melts chargers armor. Definitely an overlooked stratagem

Not gonna lie, I found one on the ground and it melts everything@@kage_hunter

you're welcome ^^

It doesn't need it lol. Only improvement i would like is if smaller bugs went into a sort of "Panic" besides that its fine.

Arc thrower gets me 700 kills while others get 250 or 100

what do you do against bile titans? Also did you mean eagle napalm or orbital gas?

@@zenowraithzeno3537 If you make that many kills, you're not focusing on the objectives enough.

@@GameFuMaster I take the Orbital Rail Cannon to kill emergency Titans or Chargers. Even with randoms at least one person almost always takes a kit good at dealing with the heavier bugs so I'm rarely too concerned about it. If the team can't deal with what's left after I cook all the chaff we probably weren't gonna make it anyways. And yes, I meant Eagle Napalm, I edited my last comment to be more clear. Gas is fun but not as effective as I'd like it to be.

@@MrGameNuke kits only take you so far until they're on CD or you run out of ammo. Honestly, I feel like I have the worst luck. Unending spawns of bile titans, and just the other game, the literal map was full of the bile spewers. Like they literally did not stop spawning.

thanks

Here’s some tips: 1. when they stand on their hind legs and roar, they’re about to charge. To counter this, run in a horizontal line and wrap around to their backside (coincidentally, this is where the biggest weak point is) and never dive out of the way unless you are absolute you can make it. 2. Much like any other target, fire damage completely ignores armor - melts right through. 3. A lot of people fail to recognize this, but the hind legs are actually weak points. Take a breaker, crack them open, and attack the squishy bits. Additionally, you can rock stratagems like orbital rail cannon, air strikes, and laser. Even the jet pack to fly over when they charge. Shield gen can save you from charges, as well. The best support weapon to ground these bad boys, is the railgun. It only takes about 3 fully charged shots to the face. That about covers chargers. Good luck, soldier, and happy hunting!

i just tested it, killed 2 chargers back to back in 3 seconds total lol

I probably can't, not won't. Damage taken is too high currently and im not playing perfect enough to not rely on the shield. After armor starts working I will try out both jetpack and the guard laser. I might try to do without shield currently also, but doubt it will work out.

didn't change any of those settings, i press tab while im sprinting already

i kinda got fast enough to the point that it only takes a mere moment to input stratagems, just too used to 500KG and Eagle Airstrike inputs, I think it is a good suggestion for people if you are slow with the inputs you are using.

the real problem of the flametthrower is the frindly fire, is a great weapon to destroy a big mass of enemies and also your teammates 😓

@jorgepinilla544 I've never had that issue. Most people are brain dead and run in front of others, then get mad cause they got killed by you.

@@jorgepinilla544 fire and gas damage over time doesnt hurt allies, only the squad member that is the source of said fire or gas. what does friendly fire damage on flamethrower or any of those weapons/strategems is the projectile itself i.e. the flame beam of the thrower

lowered it from 11 to 8 from audio settings for next time

Sadly using the flamethrower while jump packing doesn't work properly. It won't let you aim it mid flight. Just shoots to the side and the animation looks glitched.

I'm looking forward to try it out when armor ratings are fixed and we can use the flamethrower properly while in the air. Sounds extremely fun and cool looking (from the viewer side)

yeah i never really used stealth, I would have preferred to use a light armor with +2 grenades to make bug nests easier but i don't have it

Well the helldiver was playing solo, so chance of being kicked is zero. Would they get kicked in PUGS? Probably sometimes. It’s difficult to hang onto samples solo.

Before the patch

i tried a few times, either im not good at using it or it isn't strong enough to handle very big hordes or chargers (they take like 8-10 hits to kill)

im actually trying it out currently, perhaps i might get a decent run soon it is a really fun weapon it can kill chargers but it is like twice slower than the flamethrower kills

pretty much mostly that, also if you are really near to an optional objective if you ping near it sometimes it actually shows it to you also

There is always 5 optional objectives so I knew I missed one, they are usually near objectives. Was a blind run, I had no clue where it was, was just a guess to go that direction.

it tickles it.. i tried putting it on fire for a straight minute did nothing to it sadly either the fire doesn't reach him cause he is really tall or it really doesn't damage it

There are a few lines you can get like that with the flamethrower, it is quite cool

Hello, I used OBS to record. If your game looks as good but the recording isn't as good it is probably related with how you recorded with it, yeah. Did you try using OBS?

@@kage_hunter oh, thank u. I got it . I used Nvidia recording before , i dont know why does my video upload to youtube looks so blurred. I will try to use OBS record, thanks :)

@@user-pw3tk8xx5h you're welcome aniki, it should be straightforward to setup but hit me up if need further help

Forget the samples, I can sometimes not even notice the missiles for the SEAF Obejctive..

Breaker shotgun

The build only works if you’re constantly moving. Slower armor will get you surrounded. If armor was that broken to mitigate swarms of damage just standing still, everyone would use it, and the game would get boring for most players quickly because it wouldn’t be challenging anymore.

a lot of solo players have more samples than they need currently. especially with everything unlocked, i tend ot only nab samples in co op, otherwise i just focus objectives solo.

The very first nest they walk into has a bug breach @2:46. Other than that, the scout armor they're wearing has decreased aggro range, you can avoid a lot of breaches by sneaking around or just flat out running away and coming back later. It's a very strong option for solo runs

From what I've noticed, if the bugs aren't already calling for a breach, as long as they are actively trying to attack you or if you are damaging them (important part) they can't call for a breach. The continuous burning ground DoT and just burning all if not most of them at the same time (due to the AoE nature of the flamethrower) you will end up with way less breaches and won't be stuck in a forever breach loop where you can't ever kill all of them. 17:16 is a good showcase imo, a very big nest ends up being empty in just a few minutes. For the small nests, I just try to get rid of them fast with airstrikes or try to manually take them out really fast with grenades. Breaches most occur on accident if you let a bug stay alive without hitting them for a while. Flamethrower is quite good at handling these situation and something that the railgun can't ever do.

Not 100% sure but im pretty confident that the shield does block you from getting on fire, i got on fire once in this run and i believe i didn't have my shield up then(?) That's a good question tbh. You need to go prone/dive to stop the fire on you but I believe you already noticed that. Edit: Just checked the footage again, yeah pretty sure shield blocks you from getting burn, the only part I ever end up getting on fire is 13:16 where I don't have my shield up and it does damage me, I dive immediately and end up not taking too much damage. 13:27 I have shield up and walk on my own fire, it doesn't damage me.

@kage_hunter ok awesome that's really good to know and makes the flamethrower a lot better. Thank you!

I can confirm that other players shields will block fire, I've tested this myself with a friend, so it's safe to assume that the users shield would also block it. It's also just a smart option because you wanna be as close to your targets as you can be with the flamer

Supply pack. Run that baby solo, combined with the usual resupply, and you should have no problem

He upgraded his ship so he gets an one extra eagle strike each

Hangar upgrades, faster rearm so they come up a bit faster.

i open the map while already running

I think flamethrower is by far the strongest. The thing I like the most about is that burning makes killing them really safe. To explain; hunters are really a problem, they come in very big numbers sometimes, 10+, if you burn them for just a second, the DoT will kill it. This basically means you can put them on fire for a second and then just run away, they will die while you are running away. Makes it quite safe. The very small bugs die from the burn alone, you just need to apply it on them so it is basically an instant kill. The other mobs also die quite fast. The OP thing about flamethrower is that, while it is able to clear hordes really well, it also can handle chargers, and very efficiently at that. Arc is quite good but overall can't match the flamethrower just for horde clear even. The cool thing about arc is that it can one shot hunters, 3 of them at the same time. The thing is, if you wanted you could just use your primary weapon to handle hunters either way. Machine gun is really fun and quite good at clearing hordes. It is fun, but not strong enough imo. Grenade Launcher is the best horde clear for bile spewers, one shot if you hit their mouth, also you can blow up their huge sac resulting into a easy kill. Also you can clear outposts with them. So it is overall very strong, only negative is that it can't do anything to chargers. Flamethrower >>> Grenade Launcher > Machinegun or Arc P.S. I think the issue with Arc is that, it is a bit less powerful due to the fact they made it infinite ammo. The problem is that, imo the game has no ammo issues. So Arc being infinite ammo isn't really a positive.

I am sorry if this comes across as hostile, but after reading your comment, I just have to reply. There is no way for the flamethrower to ever be able to compete with the arc thrower, you literally even said why.........................it one shots hunters. Not only that, it has a better damage profile across the board, this is no subjective opinion, it simply has higher dps..........................and range. The arc thrower can kill a charger in 4-6 well placed(half-charge) shots to the head, from a good distance. In the video you also really seem to struggle with bile spewers, constantly having to back away and dive, which is something the arc thrower can handle very easily and fast from a good distance away. If you get the good timing down with the arc thrower and half charge it, it will beat the flamethrower in any category: Swarm clear, anti armor, range, raw dps.................... @kage_hunter

@@SofieJutta nothing personal taken don't worry ^^ You might be right, getting used to doing less charged attacks back to back might be how it becomes actually a solid pick. I will try in the future. Thanks for the input.

fun pun
