4 Airburst Rocket Launchers vs Super Helldive - Helldivers 2 

4 airburst rocket launchers vs 4 airburst rocket launcher users

Little bug children are going to be stepping on landmines on this battlefield for a century to come.

"We're all using cookout. We're gonna get cookout nerfed bro." He's speaking the truth.

4 minutes in and I don't think I saw a single person try to team reload in that group of 4 airburst rocket launchers.

Arrowhead - due to popularity of the airburst rocket we reducing the amount of spare rockets, due to the weight is unrealistic to be carried by our fellow helldivers

The reason people thought the airburst rocket was anti-air is because the preview video showed it wiping out an entire swarm of shriekers.

"Are mines the meta?" Please no. It's my only remaining joy after what they did to the slugger locker breach ability. 😭

You have to reload the airburst slowly. Judging by how temperamental that thing is, it might just decide to blow up your fingers if you go too fast

Next Balance Patch: > Helldivers were found to be having fun with the Airburst > Reduced the reserve ammo by 33% and decreased its blast radius

24:00 current objective: Survive

If you fight the bots with it and hit perfectly in between the turret and the hull of towers and tanks then you can kill them with explosions inside it. But it was easier to do before the devs made it detonate near enemies instead of objects. (Its a optional anti-tank weapon if you have a good angle and aim well)

At 25:18, the antitank minefield is destroyed before it can deploy mines. The minelayer blew up, you can hear the faint explosion sound a quarter of a second later after the pod landed. There's even a second, smaller explosion. So you absolutely know that the mines were aborted the first instant they could be. Punished by the game, because he literally hit a tank enemy with a minefield. Incredible game design.

It's beautiful. Arrowhead saw this and was quaking in their boots.

Impalers *NEED* to be made more visible when they’re using their tentacles. Having them attack you from halfway to narnia is annoying as hell when you have no idea where they actually are. When they are using their tentacles, they need to either have a marker placed on them, or made visible on the map. Also. MAKE MINES HAVE A 30 SECOND CD ARROWHEAD! They’re almost completely useless, cannot move and are 1 time damage. Their CD needs to be extremely low because of how situational they are.

Watched this live. What a laugh riot. Go in absolutely meme worthy. Gg

this is how the game is meant to be played

devs are so STUPID that they are saying realism, but the anti tank mines are just like regular mines.

Cursed loadout 🤣🤣🤣

It's good seeing Ohdough being sociable. First the podcast, now this!

I gotta say, it's nice to see something so lighthearted a time like this in the community.

They officially lost it Thats what happens to a community when good fun gets nerfed ,we get goofy cause thats the only funny thing left

anti tank mines can't actually damage bile titans because their armor class on the legs is 6 while the mines are 5 lmao they can't track bot tanks either because the treads are tagged explosive immune

Absolutelly loved the quadruple echoed build, more please, doesnt even need to be cursed builds, just quadruple it and see what happens. Suggestion for the next one: Octa bombardments (120 + 380) with quadruple walking barrage.

The impaler needs a rework. Either it needs to not have damn near infinite range on tentacle summons and/or all tentacles need need to pop out of the ground with their backs facing the body so players can locate one that is not close by or at least out of LOS.

i like that they gave the chargers this little u-turn that they do now, a very chefs kiss of a buff for an anoying enemy

One time i got 153 kills with one airburst launcher rocket, and im still chasing that high.

25:17 For anyone confused about what happened here, the minefield device spawned underneath the Impaler and was killed by contact damage.

IVE been saying since the Mines are under used, they need 60seconds cool down for Fire and Standard. 1:30 for AT Mines.

This was like a horror movie im going to have nightmares thanks

thanks so much for making content like this, i stopped playing when the sony debacle started happening and only played for like one mission here and there since, but watching this made me want to play again and it was so much fun like probably one of the best times i’ve had playing i queued with randoms and we crushed super helldive and i hadn’t even beaten a lvl 9 before this

Use the firebomb hellpod booster and pair it with eats and commandos

this video makes me think about a lot of fixes that the developers should make... 1. mines should not react to corpses 2. reduce the reload time of mines 3. these missiles should throw explosives in a smaller radius and closer (sometimes even the most fragile enemies survive in the very center this chaos) 4. when you drop mines on some large enemy and there is no room under it, the “mine dispenser” breaks and the mines simply disappear (this needs to be fixed, but I don’t know how)

probably hot take but I genuinely like to use the airburst rocket launcher on bug eggs mission. As it makes it possible to clear an egg nest without even being near it

OhDough HD2 video, but he plays with friends and tries something that isn't the established meta? And... having fun? Minimal drama takes, actual jokes... Huh. Impressive. Will wonders never cease?

the airburst rocket can kill any unit in the game, but its pretty much Luck based, where the exploding grenades go basically. you can control it a little tho, to a degree, shooting under Impaler/charger legs, but for others like the bile titan, you need the things to hit its sack which is... pretty hard to do. last time i used it i managed to clear entire bug nests since the explosions managed to touch all the bug holes in the nest.

5:30 People think the airburst is for Shriekers because the video for buying it literally shows it being used on Shriekers (that plus it does have a genuine VT fuze which inherently makes weapons good against flying targets)

So explosive super democratic mayhem? Yeah sounds fun

Controversial opinion. The airburst launcher actually slaps hard when you figure out how to use it properly. But for some reason, neither I, nor anybody else ever seems to run it.

The fact yall were worried about getting cook out nerfed really showed the state of the games balancing 💀

That extract was more chill then what I usually get on Easy lol Spawn balance is ridiculous. Well done boys for getting the mines and airburst nerfed! lol

I think it's possible for the mine dispenser to be destroyed before it actually spews mines out.

Like it or not. This is the PEAK physical Helldivers 2 form.

I don't know if it is what you saw with the vanishing mines, but I have found that landing it on enemies sometimes destroys the pod up instead of spawning the mines. I've had it happen a couple of times on defense missions where we either got a free mine stratagem or the group wanted everyone to bring at least 1 mine stratagem

Lucky its only Arty that anoys you with ingame messages.

Fun and entertaining to watch controversial loadouts. Good job on this one.

They NEED to add an indicator to impalers that tells you where they are

16:00 Impaler Reflects airburst rounds

This was a tough watch. The other guy literally never stopped complaining about anything he could in the game.

I'd unironically run mines sometimes if they had 60-30cd, but that goes for the turrets tbh.. they should have 60-120s cd considering they run out of ammo insanely fast apart from the mortars and rocket and that they get destroyed if a fart blows in their direction... besides, the old turret despawns (if for some miracle it didn't die or run out of ammo) if you call down an identical one.

Unironically, mines should be quick and dirty alternatives to other support items--short cooldown times to compensate for variable effectiveness in the field--its cheaper to mass drop mines, but is less consistent or quick getting key kills

obv the state of the game's balance is less than desirable but its super refreshing to see you enjoying the game

They absolutely need to decrease the range at which impalers can hit you. I've legitimately had them be a little over half the map away from us and the tentacles were still attacking me and my team.

This is the content that I didn't know I want

this was pure magic what was the start of a meme turned into something amazing, watching it live just in awe to it just works

I need to try this, anti tank, incendiary mines, airburst rocket launchers,cluster bomb and some sort of team killing primary like the flamethrower or lightning shotgun,for every player and see if we can even play the game,add the new booster so you can sometimes one tap titans with respawns and add even more team killing

Airburst can deal with almost anything at a distance. Its difficult to use i'll grant but even chargers can be taken out in like 2 shots if you aim in the right spot. Sometimes 1 if you're lucky. Bile titans are the only thing its useless against. I think people underestimate it just because its got a high friendly fire risk (although since other helldivers no longer set it off its not that bad anymore)

Impalers constantly ragdolling you and hunters stunning you non stop love that combo that stops you from healing or reloading

>guys are having laughs >guys say game bad >mfw

I personally think the Airburst is underrated. Never understood why people were so confused by how it works and thought it was for air targets specifically. It just takes a little care to use safely and the issue is because it can't take down biles and chargers like the Quasar, it's too much of a compromise usually.

In HD1 the imaplers tentacles would always face away from the Impaler itself. So if the Tentacles are hitting you from lets say North / North East direction, the impaler is in that same direction. The Impaler should never be Perpendicular from its tentacles.

fun fact, the impaler stabby parts can be shot to send them back down and deal damage to the main body

well you see mines are just so good that they need the 3 minute cooldown XD

Wow, I've never seen ohdough have so much fun. Hilarious.

They should add a small beam to the top of mines, basically a stratagem beam on the top of a mine but very tiny, maybe like half or a quarter the height of a helldiver.

Airburst could actually be made moderately effective if they added a slight stun to it's huge area, give the mass concussive force the ability to stun things smaller than Tanks and Behemoth chargers (but allow it to stagger the larger enemies out of attacks) and stun normal chargers and MAYBE behemoths (only maybe) if you hit a large amount of munitions on it. The stun would actually play into the airbursts trash ability to kill enemies by pinning the now weakened and damaged horde in place for any amount of fire to finish off, while also making the immense reload time less of a danger to the user. That along with the ability to turn off the proximity detonation so you can land meaty shots under chargers and impalers, in the bellies of titans, and into the underside of dropshios and in the turret rings of tanks and towers also would boost the versatiliy by rewarding skilled use of the guns limited ammunition. Yes, I feel like this is balanced when it takes up a whole stratagem slot.

At this point, I'm trying to use the Shield backpack to avoid the one shots. The jetpack is fine, but we need parachute packs at this point. Autodeploy Chutepacks.

The power of this isn't the gear being broken. Its the power of four players actually sticking together and using their equipment consistently.

you know that shooting the tentacles with fire weapons is stupid effective

AND THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!!!! Reports of AH seeing players having fun in the game? Airburst Rockets next on the Chopping block? Find out more tonight at 10!!!

Drop the mine beside a bug hole, it'll close it and when it unfurls the mines into an adjacent hole will close it when spawns come out. I can comfortably clear a large nest with the flame and explosive mines and clean up maybe 2-3 holes with the A/C or grenade pistol.

this was funnier than it needed to be 6:58

I think if you throw a mine stratagem on something like an impaler the mine spewer will get destroyed before it deploys any mines, not 100% sure though.

so the new fire shotgun is good?

I'll say it again. the mines need to be backpacks with 2.5 minute cd's that you lay out. You get 3 anti tanks mines but they 1 shot heavies (yes, the register biles above them and take 2). You get 5 gas mines but after you use one your backpack takes time to fill the next mine 'bag/container' with its concoction 15 sec cd. You get 4 napalm mines (no cd, can use repeatedly until empty) that plume out in a large dome when triggered! I mean, the fixes are there, we have told them literally hundreds of times with viable fixes. They flat out just don't listen. And they are both dumb and blind if they haven't seen said posts.

I tried Airburst for 3 missions. Haven't touched it since. It just doesn't seem to work as advertised, you're never killing a swarm of shriekers with it, and anything tougher than a hunter will probably live through the blast. Sure okay it does swat hunters but so does basically everything else in the game. Take a tesla tower, it's a better investment.

They said they were looking into reworking chargers but all they literally have to do is just reduce the damn turn radius on them and the problem's solved. They never needed to have this much tracking, and shooting them in the back would actually be a valid strategy. Some moron from day 1 decided that their weak point in the back should be virtually impossible to target without pure luck as to whether the Charger decides to turn around slowly instead of instantly.

airbrust cannons are underated, i used them back before the update of EOF and it is a great clearing tool or Suicide Run in weapon

Mines have always been busted. The problem is ppl play with randoms more than not and nobody really communicates with each other which makes them seem bad. Lol

Airburst is slept on. Personally, WORTH the teamkills. The long ass reload is what gets me, but I think the AOE is too wide, but it slaps.

the bugs when they see a diver near a mine: witness me!

For this being super helldivers I did not see as many bile titans in the first half of the video as I thought I would have

Also, should have brought the bomb pod booster for complete experience that AH wants us to have

the mines dont spawn because the pot will be targeted like the turrents. As long as the mines are not distributed (inside the pot), they can just pop without dmg.

Impaler should have to be within a certain distance of you, so broken for the tentacles to just follow you around the map. Such a buggy broken mess. I'm trying to imagine them making a game back in the 90s where the game came on a disc and couldn't be patched....

DUDE, now that's a LOT of mines. Holy crap, dat was fun.

Pilestedt, I hope you’re smiling at this teamwork, I hope you’re shaking your head that they never buddy-reloaded, and I hope you nerf mines for slappin’ wilburs

Yes! More cursed loadouts please

Impaler froze in fear. There was no hope. no hope at all.

Anti tank mines do not affect titans, their leg armor is too heavy to take damage from the mines

I LiKe the air burst, but yeah, team mates do so love running right at things my rockets on the way to. You missed a trick by no one bringing the hellpod explosion booster.

If the area above the mine dispenser is not clear it will insta pop 25:20 so no mines were deployed. If only the free fire mines we got the other week was available for super helldive.

this actually makes the airburst and mines look pretty good :D

We need gas mines, gas grenades, emp mines, thermite sniper, incendiary airburst rocket launcher, incendiary grenade launcher, and some sort of fortification that acts just like a gigantic mousetrap.

Haven't seen the Cinnamon Toast Crunch chefs ever since the cereal bits started eating each other.

Cluster mines would be sick. Not sure if they would be too similar to reg anti personnel mines

people keep discarding the airburst rocket as a meme weapon, and its ture thats its a meme weapon, but you'd be surprised how good it can be if you start using it

Someone should have brought Firebomb Hellpods. It would work really well with the triple mines. I think the Firebomb-Hellpod impact will oneshot a Bile Titan.

That thing needs a hold reload button toggle to change from standard ariburst to like a burrow round that hits armor then takes a second or 2 to deploy the payload past the armor it would make it such a good hybrid support weapon for armor and trash mobs plus a faster reload 😂😂
