You've obviously never watched no hit runs. The whole point is to minimize risk and maximize damage. Look up the person from the pinned comment and tell me if you think I should care what you say at all?

Whoever is closest is who it targets, the only exception I've found is when it does double purple starting at 30% HP - sometimes it will go to the second closest person even if I was the closest one.

That was just to keep the hunters away.

I'll have to try it out at mid range. When I first tried it, I only got it to work at close range so I just kept doing it. If it works at mid, that's probably much easier.

I get a similar comment on a lot of my solo vids. And I've talked about this before because I have many live streams of me playing solo max difficulty in this game. If you're not positioning yourself correctly, or taking out the biggest threats first, you're going to have a hard time in solo play. I kill every patrol I come across in this game, and I'm taking every fight. I get over 400 kills. If you think that isn't a lot of bots for a solo player, idk then.

400 is definitely a good kill count. But each time I play I have loose patrols in every direction. I don't ever get the liberty of ducking behind a rock for cover, because there are bots literally behind every corner waiting for me. And as I watch a lot of these videos, I don't see a lot coming out of bases when people throw stratagems in. The second my beacons hit the ground, the entire base starts shooting at me, and every shot hits me from like 400 yards away with extreme precision. I just don't see that happening in a lot of these videos. Not saying your videos aren't legit and that you aren't extremely good at the game. But my games never look like this, from the very start its bots in every direction all the time.

@@jakechaffee Are you fighting the bots or just trying to run? You can kill most patrols in front of you and make a path. And for the bases, if it's causing you that much trouble, try rocking scout armor. You can disengage after breaking LOS and just reposition yourself.

Whoever is closest is who it picks.

I honestly can't remember if I changed too many settings. I know one of the biggest things for me though was doing classic helldivers change weapon. It makes it so support weapon is tap triangle and holding triangle pulls out sidearm. Sounds small but makes a big difference. For sensitivity and stuff I just messed with it until it felt right. And FOV is maxed.

@@Not_Harvard the main issue is the stick sensitivity and aim assist. I messed with it for an hour or so, and it still felt so far off from being able to actually play aggressive that I just gave up.

You have to be really close. Edit: it actually works best at mid range.

I don't think so, I think it's only the armor passive that does that.

I have a video on my channel called "how to throw spears faster in god of war ragnarok" Just look that up

I'v actually tried a very similar loadout, only difference being airstrike instead of cluster, but I'm not a huge fan of flamethrower for automaton solo play, and I really don't enjoy the Stalwart. Something about the aiming doesn't feel right on controller. The loadout will definitely work though, and if you enjoy it that's all that matters.

@@Not_Harvard I see, im more of a bugs player so ive been enjoying flamethrower alot

There are 2 attack aircraft, but I have a squad of 4

No crossbow, probably JAR 5. Its medium armor. I would use 500's instead of gatling barrage but everything else same for aggressive fighting on any mission.

I swear it's 90% of my deaths lol

Why do you think it's my birthday?

fewer things in the way to run quickly from one place to another, also exploding barrels are a hazard when youre getting shot at

Y4m4 is right, just annoying to run around the fences and flammable stuff is too much of a risk to leave on the ground.

Its a video game

@@Not_Harvard you’re the one doing silly challenges, I’m just reacting to it.

@@alejandrosantana5693 it's not a challenge it's just a beautiful game that looks better with no HUD lol

Not to mention lore breaking. Unless his Helldiver is canonically some sort of super soldier how the hell would he know where to go and monitor his equipment when there is zero visibility.

@@alejandrosantana5693brother its a video game, stop crying about how it “doesn’t make sense” lol

@@BeefBanana or you’ll do what? Pretty pointless issuing orders on the internet isn’t it 🤡

Update: Made my own partial hud. Never going back.

What are your settings now buddy?

@HighDiver5555 Everything on map except health and weapons status

It could always take out gunships.
