How 2 Helldivers 2 

Been working on this one for a minute, glad to finally have it out (literally right before Elden Ring DLC lmfao). Hope you enjoyed it! My wife and I are expecting a child in August so apologies for the slower upload rate! As mentioned in the video, I've got some other projects started and am curious to know which of them you'd like to see first!

It's important to note that since the last big update SEAF artillery can no longer be blocked by jammers, ion storms or the mission timer running out. It stays active as long as you have ammunition and the cooldown isn't running. Also Helldivers drown because it's almost impossible to swim with armour on, you'll almost drown even with just regular clothes.

"Sir, do you have any enemy fire?" "Is friendly okay?"

I actually learned stuff from this even with 400 hours. Expertly written with a perfect mix of comedy.

7:33 "bad dogs"? Brother, you ain't seen nothing yet... *Helldivers 1 cyborgs flashbacks*

A GOOD HELLDIVER LOVES VARIETY, DONT CHAIN YOURSELF TO THE META LOADOUTS

This is like a perfect blend between maxor's and bricky's videos, hilarious and informative! Well done, and defo Sharing with my friends!

Got 2 tips, one I learned just recently. 1: Bile Spewers, Bile Titans, and Charger's "Squishy parts" aren't "weak points" because they only take 10% damage to those places. (hence the strat of flamethrower and-or aiming for the legs) But those squishy parts take full damage if it's EXPLOSIVE damage. (I learned this before the influx of explosive weapons dropped. I was SO HAPPY when those became a thing) 2: For certain weapons, (Quantum Pulsar, Anti-Tank Rockets, don't know what else it works on) their damage increases based on velocity, scaling with PARENT VELOCITY. Meaning that compared to being perfectly still, those weapons will do LESS damage if you're walking away from your target, or MORE damage if you're walking TOWARDS your target. (And a lot more damage if you fire them while diving towards your target) I noticed the difference on a mission where I tried this out, and I THINK it was also working with the laser assault rifle I was using, but I'm not gonna say I'm 100% sure of that, or the same trick works with will all the other weapons, just FYI.

10:59 I love that this meme was used. 10/10

The script is no joke utter peak.

i love the point that you seeked out the audio of the robot demoman from the mann vs machine event for the "my eye!!." clip

STICKY GLUE

I was on the fence about getting Helldivers 2 until Marco Yolo posted a video. I don’t regret my decision. You’re the GOAT, Marco.

Bro took 4 months to make a banger

This video is a masterclsss in old / new references and great editing while acting as a tutorial / tip guide / and being funny nice video seriously. - NOTE* (You have been reported to the ministry of truth as a high value target.)

Came into this thinking it was just going to say some base level things about the game. I was surprised to see it goes much more in depth.

Lmaooo the way you put walking around the strider. I do that all the time and they're NEVER prepared for it. 😂 The way you worded that was golden!

BG3: Attack of the Hitman!

Admirable Admiral from the SES Bringer of Family Values here, here's a few tips for any fellow helldivers,veteran or rookie. Don't sleep on the orbital precision strike, being the first stratogem you use, some may think it's weak (it's not) and can be spammed (90 sec base cooldown lol). Bait bile titans into their attack animation so it's easier to hit it with 500kgs of managed democracy (just remember to dodge said attack). Tanks take 2 impact grenades either to its side or back to be destroyed, same for cannon turrets (The 4 barrel machinegun tank can be hit with them from the front).

Lots of good rhyming going on here! like a Dr Suess book!! well done! great video man!!

Great video. Went over like everything needed to play and get the feel for the game. Keep it up!

That intro is stellar sir. I’m a subscriber now. I look forward to more content from you.

Another tips on the bot side: if a jump pack is too close to you, just melee it! That way, It does not explode when it die. And if it doesn't die, it should be stunned/blocking long enough for you to jump backward while shooting it to dodge the explosion!

I love bringing the: Light Tesla Resistance armor, Pump sluggy, Dagger, Stun grenade, Arc thrower, Mines, Fire Mines, Tesla tower. Just lay down in a minefield and watch their numbers dwindle.

This was funny, informative, and overall exquisitely well done. Thank you for contributing to the cause of managed democracy Helldiver!

Honestly an absolutely fantastic video. Super Earth salutes you.

Deep water can actually sometimes be traversed with Exosuits, and they can carry helldivers on top of them. I haven't tried this myself, but I've seen other people do it and it could save a lot of time on planets like Gacrux, which have a LOT of water.

I remember dropping into a Helldive difficulty mission and there were so many bugs that my helldiver said “WHAT THE *HELL* DID I JUST *DIVE* IN *2* ”

Every time I thought this video ended it kept going, I enjoyed it very much

my go-to (for bots at least) is the exterminator medium armour (or any medium armour with the engineering kit perk), the plas-1 scorcher, the senator (though i wanna try it with the verdict too), standard impact grenades, and then the eagle airstrike, orbital laser, jump pack and anti-material rifle. the stratagems are what really make it tbh, it essentially turns you into a hybrid assassin/infiltrator, picking off targets from a distance while also being able to use hit-and-run tactics to get in, drop a couple of airstrikes on a base, then get out again.

Been waiting for your Helldivers 2 video to drop! Perfect to kill the last few hours until Shadow of the Erdtree ❤

My current favorite to run, that get's countered immediately 50% of the time now a days, is the "A Bile Titan ate my wife" build. Bring Recoiless rifle, Railcannon strike, 500kg and Expendable anti-tank with either contact grenades or regular for bug holes and delayed explosions.

Doing my part to help push this video to my fellow helldivers. I love running the demolition warbond heavy armour with the bolter (jar-5), auto cannon, grenade pistol, with orbital precision, 500kg bomb, orbital rail cannon. The explosions are nice while limiting friendly fire Edit: most of you might have already knew this, but if you count your shots and reload whenever before you empty the 10 round magazine, you can lay down sustained fire with the auto cannon

Some things from a FAF-17 SPEAR hipster. If you blow a bugs head off, don't dive. Smack the goofy outta them, it tends to remind them that they should, in fact, be dead. The P-4 Senator is my go-to sidearm against bugs. While most prefer the grenade pistol, I like having more ammo. I'm (probably) not gonna give you the Ghost treatment for bringing it, but I will silently judge you. You can one-shot Bile Titans with the SPEAR by headshotting them, it requires specific positioning, but is increadibly satisfying. And Orbital Railcannon can kill bot Hulks and Tanks in one use. You can infact, ride chargers, you need a jumppack to do it properly, but it's a heck of a good time.

This is one of the most entertaining videos I've ever seen in my life

Oh yeah, i would like to join Helldivers... oh, wait, Corpo wasn't defeated, cause there are 180 countries that it's not available, cool!

Palps: "I am the Senate" Super Earth: "I am Democracy" Stalker: "I am Backup"

0:28 Right off the bat show us a movie-like scene from Helldivers II that makes it so good. Plus Mario go: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!

You're like Ahoy Lite, and that's a compliment, I love your video.

I wouldn’t mind the hitman baldurs gate continuation, but hey it’s up to you and what you have going on. Hope you have a good one

I love how the best load out is whatever you have. It means everything can do something correctly and nothing is objectively bad (except for gattling barage) and no matter what, bullets hurt, but bigger bullets hurt more. Kevlar prevents damage and ouchy feelings, but more Kevlar does it better.

Eagle Airstrike, Orbital Laser, Autocannon and EAT are my strategems for everything.

This is getting added to my list of "democractically approved videos" :D This was exceellently put together :D

The Engineer: Spear, HMG Emplacement, Rocket Sentry, AC Sentry Number one build, easy clears on helldive

Grats mate! Take all the time you need. BG3 Pokemon would be pretty cool, but suppose everyone would want a elden ring dlc vid in the future.

Very nice sneaky Stalker in the background at 13:46

the editing is awesome, i laughed hard :D :D

Holy shit congrats dude!🎉🎉

Cool see you making videos again man That's a look

my game crashed while in Basic Training, so now I have every achievement except for the one for completing training 😂😂 great vid btw!

You make them lists that are functional and not meta? AT LAST! A man of good taste!

17:59 I can summarize. Running The Throwing Knife without Engineering Kit. _"Stick Around!"_ Running Knife With Engineering Kit gives you a whopping 10 kinves. And allows you to create a Jojo Reference.

8:46 Okay you got me good on this one.

I'll have you know the fist of family values definitely strikes fear into enemies.

LET IT BE KNOWN, THE SUPER SAMPLE SITE SHALL HENCE FORTH BE CALLED THE COQ ROCK

Good to watch another Marco Yolo video after quite some time.

Brainlet Mage Elden Ring DLC sounds fun

0:10 Madagascar hissing cockroaches originate from Madagascar (every 60 seconds, in Africa, one minute passes) and have been caught, imported and bred as test subjects, movie props and pets. They breed too slowly to be interesting as live feeder insects (even expelling and wasting their tube shaped egg sacks when the air is slightly too dry) and I've never heard of any escapees escalating into a pest infestation. (Although a single adult can survive for a few months without food, due to their sheer size.) An exotic animal done dirty by the reputation of its better known relatives.

holy shit this video would be so good as an actual ad for the game

20:55 Unfortunately, the spear has some wicked curse behind it or its actually inhabited by a very malevolent machine spirit since after reintroducing its ability to lock onto structures (bot fabs and even some bug spawners like the Shrieker's Nest) it will now crash your game if you reacquire another lock too fast

You can kill chargers and titant with the auto cannon, armor desync helps kill chargers if they turn around and you aim for their back leg the titans you have to get underneath and put 11 shots into is thorax you’ll know your hitting the right spot if you see a little flame effect.

Buldurs Gate 3 episode next would be awesome!!

4:49 this exact moment is when I realized they could reuse the bottomless pit assets on planets and just have a massive hovering centipede/tunneler bug for a hive boss fight, oh no. Oh god

Godzilla had a stroke reading that title and died.

Bro used Corpo unironically. Instant sub.

Some more Warhammer 3 wouldn’t hurt. While challenge runs like the ones you showed can be a blast, you could potentially look at multiplayer shenanigans too. Of course it would take a lot of work and organization but those can be really fun to do if it is done. @morewarpstone is one example of a very campaign pvp focused channel, though collabs can be hard by nature. I guess this can be taken more as a direction to start?

16:13 Rewatched this video a 2nd time and actually stopped to read that. Needless to say I died laughing

Helldivers 2 version of joever, Joelver

Yessssir a Helldivers 2 video.YEAHHHHHHHG

Class Stereotypes: *The JTAC* Many people call for Close Air Support but this one has her Call them back. Anything and everything that can be Strapped to Eagle-1 is on their Speed Dial and their expertise has them dropping ordinance right where it's needed on a whim... Unless a Anti Aircraft Emplacement turns up in which case foul language will have to supplement their armaments. *The Forward Observer* Artillery is almost always a toss of the dice but good thing for you; if Helldivers was WH40k? They main the Astra Militarum and are tossing 20s back to back. Their Orbitals may not have much frequency but when they hit, they hit HARD. *The Engineer* Those bots and bugs look like Rubber to you? Well, good news; this guy fortifies harder than any Bloons TD player and not just with Sentry guns. They may gain a bad rep for friendly fire but half the time it's because someone didn't see all the blinking lights on the ground. *The Quartermaster* Sometimes the most certain weapon is the gun in your hands. Why not make it bigger? MGs? Backpacks? Rockets? You want it? It's yours Helldiver, as long as you're in good terms with this guy. *The Pinpoint* Damage is useless if it harms nothing and this guy knows it. Splash damage is a bonus to them as long as what they're aiming for precisely dies via Railcannons, Precision Strikes or 500kgs. The only way this guy will kill you with a Strat is if you run towards it or you stole his Subway. *The Denier* Ever notice a single path that bots or bugs are coming from? Chances are he's seen it and is about to make it the 9th circle of hell through no shortage of Gas, EMS, Mines and Napalm. May god have mercy for whoever treads across their sightline for they shall not. *The Arsonist* If it is not burning, it is not in their sight yet. Be it through Flamethrowers, Incendiary Grenades or Napalm Strikes/Mines, many a world will burn before them. If they bring flamethrowers to bots though, please check for heatstroke. *The Palpatine* Who can afford a defence budget with that high of an electric bill? Many will fall to their Arc and Tesla weaponry though many must be careful as the Unlimited Power they have does not discriminate. *The Lightshow* If the Enemy were ants, he doesn't just bring a Magnifying Glass... He has a whole damn Telescope. Ammo may not be a necessity for them but with Guard Dogs and Orbital Lasers harming/killing Divers left and right, patience may be a requirement for those around them. *The Linchpin* Even the strongest stratagems can be made worthless if the foundations of a team are lacking. This Diver may sacrifice the freedom of trying new weapons and stratagems but without them, many dives would end in disaster. *The Blueberry* Want more risk? There is no bigger gamble than the pool of randoms waiting to hop in your party and fill you with either surprise of skill, brain boggling bewilderment of stupidity or blood boiling rage of incompetence and/or disregard for the party they are more of a hindrance to than the enemy. God-speed Helldivers. See you down there! - Super Citizen Delta Hooves, *SES Stallion of Peace*

Best loadout to fight Bugs is Airtstrike then either one of the following precision, 500kg or Raillcanyon then Napalm to "close" Bug breaches support has to be Flame Throw as its does everything horde clearer ✅ Anti tank ✅ Untility it can do it Primary secondary is Breaker Incend and Nade pistol for Bots as well then Incend impacts for more fire Best loadout to fight Bots is basicly the same but instead of Railcanyon use eith Precise or 500kg instead of Napalm switch to obital lazer and support has to be AC its the best and most boring BUT most reliable

nice video, you deserve more views

This video is amazing!

Who ever edits needs a raise.

Return of the king!!

Great video No knight buff though 9/10

Considering that the Factory Striders are *slightly* more annoying to take down than Bile Titans, and that the Bile Titans are allegedly "small" bugs on their "homeworld", I can't wait to see what Arrowhead has cookin' up for the terminids

Underrated youtuber

This was great 👍🏼

great video for newcomer, and enjoyable for veterans xD

holy lord this video is well made

For the hulks, you should’ve done “temu warhammer dreadnought”

perfect video for newcomers to the game

If you bring an auto cannon against the automatons make sure to shoot off the gatling guns of any factory striders you see. It only takes two shots per turret and makes them a whole lot less threatening as it allows the rest of your team to peak out of cover and shoot it with their own support weapons/ stratagems

I think that the fact that the plasma punisher lets you "rocket jump" is being really overlooked by the community

I think someone's already said this, but the napalm strike actually can destroy spawn points. You just have to be really, REALLY accurate/lucky with them.

Attention all eager new recruits! Do not get discouraged when you don’t instantly have a ton of weapon choices. Your default is already great and your MG stratagem is great. Unlock the Anti-material riffle as soon as possible, as it is extremely good against literally anything. I hope to see you on the front soon, doing your part. Panzerlinks, (future name being DaYemenball) out.

Finally let's gooo🎉🎉🎉

Yes, last line of offense. As a wise man once said, "best defense is a good offense".

Advice for all: dont worry about Stats when building armor loadouts its all about the drip

Fist of family values has been my ship name since day one

also, my preferred Strategem combo is Railcannon/Airstrike/Autocannon Sentry/Diver's Choice. Trust me, you want that last one flexible for personal orders and those days you wanna change things up.

18:18 was too personal lmaoooooooooooooooooo

This should be the training video that 96% of us watch

PLEASE! YOUR BALDUR'S GATE 3 HITMAN SERIES IS A GIFT TO HUMANITY! I NEED THE SEQUEL! PLEASE PROVIDE ME YOUR TALENT BY UPLOADING THE ACT 2 OF THE STORY. PLEASE DO IT! I CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

for fact i can say that Commisars are *NOT* the only ones to call for backup

The edits are so funny

The title reminded me of a line in rwby chibi "Try hard 2: Try Harderer" 😂

This is the best video

Orbital 380s can destroy automaton command bunkers without requiring you to enter the facility, just don't get sniped on the way over.
