The buddy who got me into this game shared a head-cannon theory for the scope glitch: The weapon lost zero during its orbital drop. If you're thinking "there are other weapons with scopes that this doesn't apply to!", my reply would be: All those other weapon's optics would be more "ruggedized" and thus less sensitive to impact to avoid loosing zero. IRL, the types of scopes used on precision weapons that are most comparable to the AMR can lose zero for a ridiculous number of reasons! In particular, constantly carrying the thing, and getting into gunfights along the way with their back up ARs or another reality for Helldivers: trying to survive incoming explosives *will* fuck the zero! Yes, it's a glitch, but given all the other neat touches that give nods to real world combat, such as the back blast from the recoiless rifle throwing allies back if they stand too close was probably my favorite one. Yes it would kill you in real life, but our armor is from the future. it's fun to think that this just might be an in-universe problem they're working on fixing.
I usually play pretty aggressive, always going for devastators or hulks first and being in the frontline. Use the Punisher to quickly clear any smaller enemies that will ruin the shot. Tanks and Towers are a struggle for my build, so I always try to take them out before a fight at a distance or immediately after they enter. It's good take out these and hulks beforehand if attacking a large outpost so the Orbit Laser can focus on melting the crowd and destroying fabricators. I used to run Recoilless/Quasar with a support playstyle but the reload/cooldown speed feels awful (Also, taking out bot drops doesn't guarantee the bots die on impact so it's not as useful to do that in my opinion). AMR is much better for my aggressive sieging playstyle Punisher Plasma - For crowd controlling berserkers, killing large groups of unarmored bots, and quickly taking out striders (two shots their legs) Grenade Pistol - for Fabricators and shipment containers Stun Grenades - To stun Hulks for easy two shot with AMR or groups of bots while eagle airstrike is inbound AMR - For literally everything Supply Pack - allows for incredible survivability and team flexibility. You can go off on your own if your team is choosing bad fights or support them if they are doing well Eagle Airstrike - Always useful Orbital Laser - in case I start getting overwhelmed or to start a siege on Heavy Outpost
Pretty much the same build I use except I'll usually run jump pack for those positions I can't otherwise get to as well as faster traversal and looking badass. I'd also probably swap out the laser for the 380 depending on the map so I'm not limited to 3 but apart from that we have pretty much the same build
Don’t need a lot of ammo if you’re a good shot 😉 My bot build is AMR, Jet Pack, Rocket and Auto-cannon Sentry. Primary: Scorcher. Secondary: Grenade Pistol. Grenade: Stun. This build has a use for a wide variety of situations. Jet Pack can get you in the best vantage points to pick off enemies and to help point them out for squadmates. Sentries are great for support for teammates or making DEADLY killzones. I use this build to simply move through the map and get objectives done. Not too worried about getting into firefights but the sentries are there when I need extra firepower. Despite that mentality, I do consistently get top number of kills. Level 136 10-Star General.
Yeah this is good, I prefer the plasma punisher, I'd usually take a precision strike or air strike instead of 2 sentries but maybe I'll give double sentries a shot
I still find it unreliable with hulks eyes. Like I aim the centre just at the top of the eye, and a hit registers. I line it up again and it's a deflect. I aim a bit higher and it's a hit, same place again is a deflect. It takes like 4/5 shots to get the hits I need and stun doesn't hold long enough to swap back to primary then support then line the shot up@@cube3643
I just found your channel through your previous video. I subscribed due to good content and then I noticed you said have a blessed day at the end of the vids. Your videos are good quality and you deserve more subs sir. God bless✝️
lvl 150 - i like to run light stealth armor - amr- jump pack - eagle airstrike - orbital precision. Plasma punisher and revolver make very nice for solo helldives
In which way is the scope broken? I haven't gotten the AMR yet and I've been having fun with the Counter sniper primary vs bots (instakills devastators if you aim between the eyes) but if the aim is off of where the scope says I'll probably give it a miss.
It shoots a little lower than the scope shows. It's weird because it has very minimal drop-off, but the scope is not zeroed. Trust though, AMR is disgusting. I would tell you to give it a try
I have a different playstyle when comes to fighting bots because i am a spear user however, if i truly want to enjoy playing AMR, I would have went with diligence counter sniper the only difference between AMR and DCS is damage and penetration, so just go for headshots with DCS, it will function like an AMR except with flying and heavy units. used to run orbital barrage because it can destroy bunkers, but suddenly that got removed, so airburst strike is a better option to clear huge mobs just because it clears faster and wider range my loadout to enjoy AMR would be DCS, grenade pistol, stun grenade, AMR, Supply pack, eagle airstrike, orbital gatling barrage/orbital airburst strike, stim armor(medium) honest opinion, this is a stealth gameplay with tons of hit and run, turret is a good distraction but dies too quickly and too much friendly fire
Love the DCS it's one of my favourite weapon and so much satisfaction one slapping rocket devestators. If I'm using DCS I'd probably run HMG, for AMR I'd usually go with plasma punisher but I just don't want my support and primary weapons to focus on the same stuff, the spear is badass too but I prefer commando because it's like a temporary spear to me
@@damienmcdonald7610 HMG is great and all, but you definitely need to use the armor perks for it. It almost function like an AMR, with the only difference would be reload. I go with DCS and AMR just so I can run and reload when it comes to sticky situation. You may think that DCS and AMR somewhat have the same function, but honestly, both have different targets. Mainly, DCS for light armor, AMR for medium and heavy. I usually just switch them according to my targets or when one of them needs reload. Plasma punisher + spear is my current playstyle. it lacks power against devastators, that is why I run orbital barrage and orbital airburst strike to clear them. Then of course, you can never forget the eagle air strike. Just wanna have fun, too lazy to aim accurately haha I used to like commando, but after doing damage comparison, I drop that idea. 1 shot of EAT = 2 shot of commando, I don't see the benefit of taking commando when I can just drop more EAT frequently. Plus, it is getting nerfed in the upcoming patch.
my preference plasma punisher, AMR, light peak physique, nade pistol, stuns. jet pack, P strike, eagle airstrike. or HMG + supply pack or Autocannon and swap jet pack for commando but plasma punisher for me, is the go to for bot trash and striders. It is THE answer for ammo economy on the HMG and AMR. and if all i have is my punisher, I can contribute on all encounters and get back to my shit.
Hmg+supply pack is a classic, I use it with the eruptor and senator with the air strike and gas strike and I’ll regularly top 200 kills on difficulty 7 missions
honestly, it depends on your loadout. Sniper is not that great for controller unless you are used to playing fps on controllers. Secondly, stratagems are quite tough on controllers because you only have a thumb to input where as for keyboards, you have 3 fingers for input.
@@CyberiusX91the thumb input is true, but aiming on controller I think depends on what you learned first as a gamer. I learned controller first so even though I can be a little more precise with m&k (recoil control, flick shots etc) the difference isn't huge for me, I can do that stuff on controller as long as I can turn "snap on" aim assist off, I don't mind "slow down" aim assist but that's probably because it's on all versions of most games
I look forward to the smokes video! I haven't seen much about them or given them much opportunity in the field so myth busting and fact checking is going to be appreciated!
I just got done solo heldiving with an all smoke arsenal. I have no idea how to feel about what I believe may be the dumbest mission I've ever done lol. I will report in soon!
