EDIT: Note that there have been multiple patches since this video, and the Breaker, Railgun, and Shield Pack has been nerfed since. *Loadouts:* Armour: Light armour CE-74 Breaker Primary: SG-225 Breaker Secondary: P-19 Redeemer Grenade: G-10 Incendiary Stratagems: Eagle 500KG Bomb, Eagle Airstrike, Shield Pack, Railgun *Ship Upgrades:* Patriotic Admin Centre - reduced cooldown on Railgun and Shield Pack. Hangar - Additional Eagle 500KG bomb usage + rearm cooldown. Bridge - "Radar" to detect enemy presence helps you to avoid them, "Power Steering" allows you to land strategically during respawn. *Dealing with Bugs:* Small & Medium Bugs - I am using Breaker to help clear most medium bugs easily with the high damage and small bullet spread. Secondary can be used for the smaller bugs. The incendiary grenades allow me to cover more spots and spawn points, though not exactly sure how much damage the fire does, but any tick damage is useful. Chargers & Armoured Bugs - Rail gun works well against them. For chargers, 2 railgun shots to the leg breaks off the armour, and you can shoot the exposed part with the primary. Also, the railgun staggers it, giving you time to reposition. You can 1-shot the head of the armoured brown bug and the large spitters. Eagle airstrike also seems to work fine against them. Bile Titan - Eagle 500KG bomb can 1-shot the titan but requires very accurate positioning due to the small blast radius. With the "Hangar" ship upgrade, you get 2 uses per rearm, and each rearm is ~2 mins 30 seconds so you get quite a lot of uses as compared to Orbital stratagems. You can also stagger it with the rail gun or kill it off with ~10 shots to the head. Otherwise, just run away and you can lose the aggro. *Time Stamps:* 0:00 - Blitz: Search & Destroy 15:45 - Eradicate Terminids Swarm 24:50 - Launch ICBM 58:50 - Retrieve Valuable Data 1:24:45 - Purge Hatcheries 1:45:00 - Conduct Geological Survey (with commentary) 2:07:25 - Enable E-710 Extraction (with commentary) 2:41:30 - Emergency Evacuation (with commentary)
This is exactly how I solo Helldive. Sneaky in, run out. No need for unnecessary fights. Instead of the shield pack though I get the eagle cluster as well. All else is the same.
Yeah, seems to be the easiest way to do it considering there's a timer as well. Feels like I would've died so many times without the shield - will try that out next time! 😄
On defend area mission I often rock the laser backpack and just run around as it shreds all the little ones for me 😅 Otherwise I'm all in on the shield play
@@xD3viLz I didn't know that! Soon as I saw it stick on my shield, I would've run straight for the Titan, hoping my shield might protect me, if not I'd blow myself to bits and take the Titan along with me!
@@MisterVikter Haha yeah, offensive (red) stratagems drops at initial point of contact. But support (blue) stratagems will follow the laser if it is stuck on a bug or your shield.
I watched this video in time and managed to buy the same SE-74 armor 2 hours before the end of the session, now I can fight beetles in it. Now a new one has appeared there for super credits B-27 and FS-38.
There was so much tension leading up to the ICBM launch, and I was hoping you wouldn't kill the Titan before the launch, and when it launched it was so anticlimactic... I was hoping the physics would get weird and we'd see something crazy... Still a good run though
I did actually and I noticed an increase in spawn rates with about ~30% increase in kill counts with a similar playstyle. Video here if you are interested ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-53_vlqIfDLI.html
When I watch some of these RU-vidrs when they drop into a match, it shows them falling in the hellpod and then it cuts to it landing and you hopping out. Why does it skip the part where you control where it lands?
I’ve noticed that too, I was watching Tim the Tat man’s videos and noticed the same thing but it was weird cuz it was like so seamless with his face came, it didn’t look like his face came skipped ahead at all in order to sync with the game. I wonder what that’s all about.
I miss when the railgun stripped armor in to shots and could kill a bile titan with a few well shots to the face not anymore better off just running from them now if you got the garbagegun with you lol....that's what it is to me anyway.
You don't really have to do that since the strike will still target the point where it lands at 9:47 instead of where the laser is. Same when the stratagem laser gets stuck on a bug, it usually just hits the initial point of contact instead of the final position of the bug.
Personally, I find that Railgun is a must have since it is the most effective weapon against armour. Eagle 500 KG bomb with the ship upgrades give you 2 shots per rearm (2mins 30s) which is great considering the number of bile titan you can get since it can 1-shot it if aimed right. The other two can vary depending on what you prefer, but I like the shield since it blocks bug hits and covers any mistakes that I make, and Eagle Airstrike can clear bug holes and also medium sized bugs easily.
Yea, stealth and losing aggro is pretty much the way to go in solo. Trying to kill everything and all side objectives alone takes too much resources & time.
