Helldivers 2 - New Railgun on the New Harder Solo Mode (Helldive Difficulty, Solo) 

Physics-wise, I liked how fog and smoke made them more visible, imagining their body displacing the dust particles around it. Plus it just looked cool. But game-wise, it was kinda dumb that their own spore spewers made their stealth threat LESS stealthy...

@@JCesta17 Agreed. It did look cool, but evolution would logically make it so they should be more stealthy when combined with their spore spewers, not less.

@@Kryto_Gamingevolution is random, and seldom has only positive benefits. If this fails, the mutation will die out. If it succeeds, it will thrive and grow in number.

@subramag True, evolution does not "optimize" it selects whatever happens to work out well for the environment. Though I'm curious if Terminids are smart enough to drive their own evolution hmm. For example, animal husbandry.

Stalker is the evolution of hunter. bile titan is evolution of bile spewer?

I was thinking the same thing, on just about every one of his past videos I saw people commenting “bro how come you have so few enemies, I’m constantly getting dry fucked” and then this video comes out 😂

Yeah, now solo Helldive doesn't look like light cardio warm up before going into quick play with random squads :)

I did see that in the patch notes

Yeah it's in the options

Yea you can make it so space bar is mantle

They literally added it today

Very bottom of gameplay options

the gas stratagem is the same you will get dmg but sometimes the enemys can just stand in it without getting harmed

@@Slowporke7474that’s because you aren’t hosting. Damage over time only works when you’re the host. Fire and gas

@@thesaucyprophesy2939 I think they fixed this a few patches ago no?

​@@thesaucyprophesy2939 didn't they fix this

@@thesaucyprophesy2939 yeah thats what I wanted to say I just wanted to add the Gas strike xD

They nerfed fire damage which nerfs incendiary though :/ now one pellet won't kill a hunter with fire dot

Yeah same man. I absolutely love it. It almost acts as a “arc thrower” but due to it being a primary you can take anti tank stratagem and you are good for crowd control.

I was literally fiddling around with it yesterday due to the stagger potential and today it got buffed hard, definitely sick

I was using it too with the senator and I was taking down chargers with them both! It takes a few zaps to open the armour then a couple shots with the big pistol to the damaged leg and I was pleasantly surprised. The knock back with the Blitzer is really good too.

Blitzer is goated now.

i may have to try that. i brought gas one time to troll my friend and throw the stratagem on him saying he farted and exclaim he smells so bad that it’s killing everyone around him, himself included. it kind of put in work but i switched back to napalm after.

Remember that DOT damage, which means fire and gas, are bugged and do not work if you are not the host right now. But since takibo plays solo and hosts himself anyway it doesn't matter

What you're saying is half misinformation. DOT does work on everything EXCEPT : scavengers ( jumping ones too )​, small spitters, bile/nursing spewers, chargers and all automaton units. Every other unit in the game takes DOT damage @@therecruitking1623

@@bandgetterkira1236 while watching another video i saw 2 more use-cases for the gas strike...one is the fantastic synergy with stun grenades, to prevent especially hunters to immediately leave the gased area and the other one is when you have a huge crowd following you: run in circles around them which makes them converge in a small area within that circle which perfectly lines them up for a gas strike...combine that with the stun grenade and it gets even better...i have to test that out

It's the same. They had to nerf it because the SCYTHE got a buff

Tried it and it's basically the same. I run it to take care of the bugs trash and hunters while I take care of the bigger ones with my main weapon and it's still do the job very well. Actually it's even better 'cause now it kills you less kickly

@@Quintinius31 That last part is why I actually like it. It would skim over you and INSTA-kill you. Now, I actually have time to react and not insta-die.

​@@loganberkheimer1857Scythe's damage got increased from 300 to 350, which is a 17% increase, while Rover's damage got reduced by 30%. How is it the same?

@@loganberkheimer1857 We don't know if it actually uses the scythe other than it visually holding it...

You can kill a Titan with: 1 EAT if you destroy both sacks, drop a pod on him and then get a clean headshot 1 railcannon shot to expose the brain on either the left or right side, then aim to the shoulder connected to the front arm and unload with any weapon you have. You can tell you're doing damage because a hitmarker will come off. Explosive weapons are the best for this because they deal extra damage to flesh, even nades, but high DPS weapons like the incendiary breaker or even standard breaker do the job very well too Or the classic destroy both bile sacks and toss a 500kg bomb underneath for a guaranteed kill The autocannon sentry is also an extremely good tool if you toss it behind the Titan while being chased. It can potentially take down multiple Titans by itself too if left unchecked, or none at all if thrown badly And the best ones on paper are the Spear and the Recoilless. Both are on paper because the Spear will never lock on, and even if it does it will miss the target. The Recoilles because it being the fastest weapon in the game capable of dealing with multiple Titans at once, it requires another player to reload you and most of all, a good aim on your side or you're both toasted Good things to keep in mind are that Titans (and spewers) spit count as explosive damage, so if you stim yourself and stand in front of him you won't die if you wear a Fortified medium or heavy armor. Also good to keep in mind that if they can't spit on you, they will keep following you until they are in range of a melee attack, and that they will alternate the same two attacks in order (so you can react accordingly with whatever you have). Both of them easily kill all the bugs trying to follow you through that (especially chargers, and especially if they're stunned right there). You can basically turn a wild Titan into your personal giant puppy with proper movement, and you have multiple options out of this. Good to know that if anything else fails, a thermite nade is a decent tool to finish the job when everything's out Sorry for the wall of text, and keep in mind that when they fall they are more dangerous than when they move :')

@@SignorTromboncino BTW RR and Spear got a reload buff. Now you don`t have to wait the animation is over.

@@SignorTromboncino And Titan`s belly can be damaged and broken by any weapon.If a 500kg does not kill it, destroying the belly can finishit. If both soft tissues are shot off then titan can no longer spilt acid. However it will gain a speed boost and will charge at you so that it can pierce you with legs.

@@SignorTromboncino no no I appreciate it! Especially the auto cannon sentry, I can’t say I’ve ever really tested the sentries against the bigger enemies really. I wonder how many shots it takes for the railgun to blow off their back armor now by itself, since they’re pretty easy to kill once it’s gone with anything.

​@@SignorTromboncino 500kg is a guaranteed kill on BT anyway unless the explosion was soaked up by something else. Two sacks destroyed with whatever weapon fits for the task allow Rocket Pods to kill Titan in one use tho

I think this order is what leads to the Illuminate.

Why dont we just nuke the damn planets

@@Prockski dont say that.

@@queueuof Ok. Its not what will lead to Illuminates then.

@@Prockski Doubt it. However, mutated eggs do seem *very large* compared to normal destroy eggs missions.

i get the feeling they tuned the new patrols and spawns too high on accident if you are not 4/4

The Airburst is very good even on stuff like devastators it does pretty good.

Depends on how far the target was from the explosion, and if it still has the bile sacks or not. And also if it has the brain exposed or not (in this case you can honestly use any weapon in the game to finish it off, but you get the point)

Anyone is a surgeon with auto aim from an aimbot. Just look how his cursor snaps to targets. His sensitivity is cranked to the high hell, yet he makes the smallest of adjustments for a single step, keeping the target perfectly on the enemies head. Humans aren't that accurate with a mouse, let alone a thumbstick.

@@aidencaterwall9146 He's using a keyboard & mouse.

@@aidencaterwall9146 just say you suck man, it takes fewer words

Console player detected. Most competent pc users have aim in this realm if they grew up playing shooters.@@aidencaterwall9146

​@@aidencaterwall9146 I watch people who have better aim than this all the time. Just look at pro players in fps games. To make your search easier, you can look up top500 or owl overwatch players, a lot of them stream or post videos on RU-vid. I find it really disturbing that your first instinct is to accuse him of cheating. It doesn't even remotely look like an aimbot, lmao.

@@colin7231 I’m talking about railgun here not ark thrower…

It's really bad against the factory gunship though which makes me a little hesitant to take it over the AC, AMR, LC, or Quasar but maybe if I pair it with the EAT, could be a good combo.

@@baconx6476I guess if you’ve got teammates to deal with factory striders you’re good, and you can focus the devastators it spawns or use explosive stratagems against them. It can overpenetrate so I wonder if you can kill multiple devastators in one hit. For gunships it’s still kinda bad though, so you’ll need a teammate to help. Unless it’s actually good and my aim sucks against them.

Bro, Railgun worked like that even before this patch

The restoration of railgun`s ap allow it to shoot through MG devastator`s shield or blow up a hulk with one headshot in safety mode and kill a devastator in body with 80% overcharge. Still it takes at least 3 shot for heat sinks. Pre nerf railgun`s advantage is that it can shoot through the front armor with overcharge.

You misunderstood what was changed. Spawn pools weren't affected by this change by any means

I can't exactly remember but it definitely took more than two shots

4/5 iirc

Yeap but I still believe there is going to be a balance for overcharge mode. In safety mode remove charger`s leg require 5 hits but as long as it overcharged, only 2 hits are required to archive so. That`s a big difference.

From what I saw, it's worse than the AC, AMR, LC, Quasar, etc.

What about stalkers?

@@NoHands46 I use the Grenade Pistol as the secondary and I’ve been using Breaker inciner so just use primary to kill and find their nest quick 💀

He got smacked by both, but had shield bubble up.

He had shield to prevent him being ragdolled and also, if you aren’t the network host of the lobby your fire damage is considerably worse

@@saerudayoreally? How so? “Host/fire dmg”

I was solo diving so no damage issue but noted about the shield. I never use the shield myself. I guess I'll start

@@Cleatusthemeatus yeah if you aren’t the one hosting the lobby, you do significantly less DoT damage. Gas strike, fire damage and even thermite grenades. It’s been a bug for a while now and hopefully is fixed next patch 🤞

Railgun was killing Chargers in three headshots before this patch

It used to have them before the nerf, now it "should" have them on unsafe but I'm not sure how much charge is needed for that

@SignorTromboncino thanks for letting me know, I guess I'll see what it does when I try it. I don't use it but it looks like it might be good now.

I'd say more Ballistic with Senator + Eruptor, so you don't lose on stun and crowd control potential, as well as having a fabricator dealer so you can bring a stun nade for Hulks

It’s because his fov is super high giving his camera a fish eye effect. He’s moving at the same speed but it just looks like he’s faster because he’s “zoomed out.”

@@bennjjb thx

tbh

Because he can? His primary covers chaff clear, EAT and Railgun cover heavies and mediums, it just works

Charger`s armor is level 5 as far as I recall. Thus its legs and head have individual hp which kills charger when one part is depleted. For titan, however, only its head got individual hp.

Thanks for the info, but it doesn’t explain why 20 railgun shots to the face won’t take it down then…

50% of the time every time
