ARCHTHROWER LOADOUT FOR SUPER HELLDIVE - HELLDIVERS 2 BEST ARCTHROWER & JUMP PACK BUILD 

If you plan to use the arc thrower now, you need strats to deal with the heavies.. its still usable

@@Boyahente1 that was my build… problem is nothing deals with chargers consistently when there’s more than 1-2. Other than rockets. You can use railcannon or OPS but then you’re wasting that on behemoths and spore chargers when it should be saved for BTs and impalers

7 shots to kill a Charger is a bargain. The Arc thrower never needs to reload or resupply. Those 7 seconds are done quickly.

@@Creshex8 exactly. But apparently this was a deal breaker for most. Never understood why as it had all those other things going for it. When the behemoth released, it was more of a gamble but still somewhat possible. Now with diff 10 relying on many chargers to be a good chunk of the enemies as well as most of them being behemoths (and the ones that aren’t obscure your vision which is not good because it’s only 7 shots if every single one is a headshot) AND the addition of the impaler (which pretty much gave the bugs massive ranged combat potential and now makes it difficult to hunker down and arc a swarm like before), you’re better off just using the blitzer as a replacement for chaff clear and taking AC or commando to be able to quickly deal with chargers, behemoths, impalers and sometimes BTs

@@ci825 I think the perks of the Arc Thrower being able to damage every enemy in the game ends up creating unreasonable demands upon the weapon. No other support weapon in the game is expected to be good against absolutely every enemy in the game, like the Arc Thrower is now expected to be. The weapon doesn’t need a supply pack, so we have a backpack slot free to help us fill in the gaps. Carry a jet pack or a portable shield to help with survivability. Grab an additional stratagem to aid with heavier enemies, like OPS, rocket pods, 500kg, autocannon turrets, etc. And carry an explosive primary to help with chargers and impalers. The robustness of the Arc Thrower really gives us a lot of options. And let the myth of the arc thrower being weak perpetuate, for all I care. They’ll just end up buffing a weapon that doesn’t need it.

Both

It needs to be like in a 1st game, with a fuel tank. Once you empty it, it doesn't work, but you can jump after jump multiple times without cooldown

that would be fun!

It would be fun but damn that would be OP

@@lukasart3951 how so?

yes please

Armor reducing charge times on weapons and backpacks ;) just like the armor making heavy weapons move faster while aiming

Yeah you are missing something. The arc thrower is a sleeper pick for bugs but does work

Yeah I agree, if you’re using arc thrower I see no point in also bringing the blitzer and vice versa

@@jdmills123456789 You will see the point once stalkers start ganking you. XD

@@odaizoh The Blitzer is a very different weapon than the Arc Thrower. People treat them like they are interchangeable, when they are not.

@@EfferusZangetsu I guess what I’m trying to say is that any other primary with stagger would be a better choice right? Like why would you not take the cookout or punisher or something? Conversely the blitzer is great, so if you decided to take it you could choose a support weapon that balances the load out against heavies or something

Same. If I'm doing this I'm running Eruptor for utility

@@LrdBxRck Agreed. The explosive property of the Scorcher compliments the low durability damage of the Arc Thrower.

I would love that! Thicc was saying that HD1 has zero cooldown on the jumpack.

5 secs would BE INSANE

it means additional enemies in MMO games usually:) and since I play MMOs all the time its something I keep saying:) its mostly used for smaller enemies that are easier to kill

As he mentioned, in MMMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online game), many Boss enemies have a phase were they call extra enemies that you need to kill, avoid or control. These are called "add" (short from additional). So these are not regular enemies, but additional enemies spawned by the boss in specific fight phases. It has later become to mean any lesser enemy or weaker mob that you kill in mass.

@@CrazymrpipzThanks bro. I assumed that’s what it meant.
