All New Weapons Showcase in Helldivers 2

[@ohtheir0ny831]

The Eruptor is an anti heavy primary. Makes a lot of the other support weapons way more viable like the stalwart. Very exciting.

[@mattor300]

Yea especially that it still is gonna underperform in comparison to dedicated anti armor weapons, meaning it doesn't replace them, just give more flexibility. Also it makes something I've been playing a lot of recently more viable, that is a priority Target killer, when I'm on the field you know you have someone always aiming at those tanks, eruptor is going to work wonders with scout armor, shield/jetpack and charge cannon (forgot its name) as you will be able to help your fellow helldivers from a vantage point killing all those targets that may pose a threat, like for example striders, devastators hulks and most importantly the gunships, oh I hope the gun can kill them in 2 shots, hopefully its not 1 shot unless its a special spot to shoot at, that whould give us a better way to fight what is one of the most opressive enemies

[@BisexualPlagueDoctor]

Oh shit you're right! I realized it was just AMR Lite ™️ but I didn't think about the stalwart

[@tyruu3265]

They just added a new ship module that makes ammo drops give support weapons full mags too so that might actually work

[@MTheroy]

This, people are failing to see it gives more of a loadout versatility now!

The adjudicator feels like what every rifle style gun suffers from, everything could be improved if they at least had 5 or 10 more rounds in a mag. It feels unsatisfying to have to reload after just 1 kill. You’re often left too few rounds short for the second bullet sponge.

[@YipeekayHarasho]

ngl, before the release, I was expecting the adj rifle to be a weaker mob clearer but a good medium enemy(devastator, chainsawman, hiveguard) killer. But after use it a few rounds i feels like it still is abit lackluster against those medium enemies.

At least it outperforms Liberator Penetrator. Not a very high bar, but it could have been worse.

[@Doomguy-777]

The problem is damage. It’s like the other 15 rnds/mag weapon gang, damage does a lot. And this is why the DMRs just suck right now and the Scorcher, Slugger or Dominator don’t.

I believe the grenade pistol can destory nests and bot factories so it may be the best side arm to use if you are running stun grenades.

[@emojothejojo]

It can. It's more of a utility for that

[@BogleyTheFriend]

Its also going to be real good for soloing outposts without having to use all your eagles. Stun grenades and impacts are my usual kit so having a secondary spanner destroyer will be game changing

[@DatBrasss]

I'm getting this warbond JUST for the grenade pistol. Stuns are great but leave me without a way to destroy fabricators without using a stratagem. This fixes that

[@purityce3487]

Exactly! I always run stun grenades and my only problem is always needing to have something explosive for bug holes and fabricators or containers (which the quasar canon filled) but the grenade pistol comes in clutch for this playstyle now.

Maybe in lowest difficulties it would be usable. Any time you get swarmed (so all the time doing large bases and objectives and having 4 drop ships on you at same time and few more every few seconds) will make this loadout a suic*de. Erupter is just shitty version or AMR (even before its major buff), EXTREMELY slow dmg up time/reload (so great against 1 hulk and nothing else ... shit against 3 hulks, beserkers and dominators) and lower mag size. There is literally no reason to take it over other options on higher difficulties even if you want "variety", because said "variety" is not viable.

[@AmbroReality]

@@Speckhouse1 And also die if facing against more then 1 enemy. Good luck using it against swarms of beserkers, walkers, dominators, hulks and occasional hulk/tank around the corner. By the time you reload Erupter, you would have cleared many of the swarm with ether AMR or AC. If you are swarmed in any space closer then 2 km, than you will die instantly unlike AC and AMR which you can spam and get out alive with bit of luck.

[@winndypops]

The Eruptor does look fun, that grenade pistol will for sure be a temptation for bug missions, always need more grenades for those bug holes. Such a shame about the Thermite though, I will use it myself a bit and see how I feel but it was really the main weapon I was looking forward to for this pack.

[@DhiscoStu]

Exactly what was needed for a showcase vid without all the bullshit, thank you :)

[@mjohnsimon1337]

I really like the BR-14 (against bugs), but its ammo count is so low that it's almost next to useless in higher difficulties. It really is a weapon where you have to prioritize targets while communicating with your teammates. The Eruptor is honestly a pleasant surprise, especially since it can blow up bot fabs! It's basically what the Anti-Tank rifle _should_ have been, and it gives me hope that the JAR Dominator will get another damage boost soon. But imo, the winner is the Grenade Pistol. It's a must-have when using the Sickle. Now you can reliably close bug holes and use the stun grenades to put chargers in their place while having infinite ammo with the Sickle. It's a great combination, especially with bugs.

[@ZedDoktor]

Why would the JAR get another damage boost when it's already one of the best guns in the game? The only downside to it is it's handling and a lack of a magnifying sight. It's got fantastic ROF, Damage, Stagger, Mag Size for what it does, and it has a good amount of ammo.

[@Extavia_qt]

that crossbow looks like a slower firing version of Scorcher.

[@N3RDYKID97]

Closer to the plasma punisher IMO, since the projectile arcs

[@arthurvalverdepiedra5291]

Would love it as a sidearm, though hehe

[@thelonehunter6025]

Yeah but it does twice as much damage and it has the blast radius of a grenade launcher meaning you basically have a slightly worse grenade launcher support weapon as your primary so add clearing is going to be amazing.

[@jocro8090]

Not sure about the Adjudicator, but new explosive options for primary and secondary are great additions. Now a stalwart or machine gun support is much more viable for crowd control while using an Eruptor or crossbow for anti-heavy. The grenade pistol is also nice as it makes picking more varied grenade types more viable.

[@Klawzor]

I’ve been gravitating towards grenadier style loadouts so I can focus on taking down heavy priority targets on the automaton front to help keep allies out of danger. At the moment, I’ve been rocking the Liberator Penetrator with the AMR. If they sort out the sight issues with the AMR, I’ll have a beautiful palate of weapons to choose from to fulfill my support needs. Especially since I tend to run the supply backpack to help me stay topped up on ammo for my AMR so I can provide that kind of precision support, being able to lay down semi-sustained suppression against heavier targets at a variety of ranges, or have that little bit of additional flexibility to take out ground and air targets, will be valuable to me.

(As I'm sure many of you also have) I've unlocked and tried everything, and I'm kind of judging by eye here, but the explosion effects all look like nerfed grenade launcher shots across the board, with lower AOE radius, low fire rates, and very strict ammo limitations. I know the Grenade Launcher is a support weapon, but it's the best overall comparison to get a feel for most of these I think. Using that yardstick, this all looks like nothing to write home about compared to primaries like the breaker (even post-nerf, i know y'all aren't ready to hear that yet but that's the truth) or the absolutely insane P-19 Redeemer secondary. All in all the whole warbond looks pretty bad NGL. Might carry one of these in one of your slots if your support weapon of choice doesn't let you close bug holes. Will I buy the warbond anyway? Probably.

The Thermite grenade certainly needs a buff though. I honestly don't see its utility or purpose beyond tickling big targets.

The new grenade is a pain. Only good to stick on weak points if you get the chance to see those points and even then, I rather have an impact all day that can do the same thing but quicker. The adjudicator rifle needs more power to be useful. I felt like while I can go through light armor, it doesn't hit hard and takes MANY shots to kill something. I do like the Eruptor though. That is a fun rifle to have. The crossbow can be fun to toy around with too but make sure you bring a cook secondary gun.

Well, that solves my problem of selecting between Arc-Thrower and Autocannon on select missions! I can have Arc-Thrower as main, and Eruptor as my mini-Autocannon instead! BIG W, gonna go grind democratically to be more effective at LIBERTY!

[@sXMrSnapzZ]

I've tested the thermite on a few things and boy, it sure does suck, needs a massive damage boost and quicker burn time otherwise impacts are massively better single target nades (that also kill everything around them)

[@jamerthegamer13]

this just came out holy moly nice one

[@Barteq2236]

I simply love Adjudicator. Accurate fast firing gun with medium pen and good damage. Low magazine can be forgiven

[@YureiOni]

The eruptor is incredible. Probably my new favorite weapon.

[@twentieth_r]

That nade pistol gonna be an absolute must have for bug missions

[@fullmetalalkami6466]

Eruptor as support and my Anti Materiel rifle as primary with Redeemer for when they get too close

[@theskyizblue2day431]

Was excited for the new toys… now I’m excited to keep using my current strats…

[@Spykitty358]

I love the BR-14, but the ammo capacity can be your downfall but luckily it does have a fast reload time. I usually run it with supply pack to get rid of the 6 magazine problem. But overall i really do like it for bots and bugs. It can shred Striders and melt bile spewers in 4 shots. But it could still use a few buffs to either a bit more damage or more ammo. Either in mag or reserves

[@craiglewis8272]

Loadouts: Crossbow,grenade pistol,stalwart,resupply backpack,eagle air strike and orbital rail cannon strike

[@Tommy-Eagle-USA]

I love everything about this video, no annoying commentator screaming at me to like and subscribe just get right to the content.

[@oyasumi8028]

My grenade pistol is somehow permanently glitched and gives me 2 shots before i have to reload

[@dyliokhan3946]

Huh, so the Eruptor is pretty good against the bugs. Neat, was gonna write the weapon off as trash after using it against the bots

[@AstolfoBlair]

does the crossbow destroy nests and fabricators? i know the leaks showed it destroying fabs without needing to hit in the vents but idk if it came to release

[@RobinTheBot]

Watch the video ffs

[@AstolfoBlair]

@@RobinTheBot i did it cuts the nest scene directly after he shoots and no fabricator test

[@UrbanFoxRed]

this new kit is so good, my "build" is finally completely sorted and versitile

[@pawtter_ink]

The space marine warbond is here

[@Oktober3]

eruptor is good against everything but bile titans and honestly doesn't need a nerf i'd say it needs a buff as it already seems like armor pen doesn't work all that well.

[@enem1]

For the first time I think I’m excited to try out the Stalwart by pairing it with the Eruptor. Stalwart would provide lots of ammo against the small enemies like Hunters and the Eruptor would be great against heavys.

[@Klawzor]

Stalwart + slugger was already the best helldive bug load out to run on one guy, everyone else focuses on bug holes, chargers, and titans. It’s incredible if your team actually just stops worrying about the little trash guys and lets you handle them. Frees their entire load out and attention

[@BisexualPlagueDoctor]

It's basically just heavy piercing without any negatives

[@big_joofius]

was so looking forward to the crossbow only to get blue balled by it being on the last page of the warbond... ima be on my grind for a while.

[@MustYouHaveAUsername]

Eruptor + Stalwart + EAT will be so much fun (and viable) with soooo much ammo :D

[@originsmaster8140]

Damn it. You didn’t try the grenade pistol against bunkers

[@mongrelshadow14]

It will blow up vents.

[@krishanuphukan80]

The thermite grenade 3 shots a hulk from the front heavy chest plate. If it could kill charges as well, it would be good

[@0rozco77]

everybody talking about the future Eruptor - Stalwart combo. Yet im still trying to find a more,versatile and op build than Incendiary breaker + Qasar Canon ( vs bugs ).

[@stevepy6758]

Maybe when I can take the Quasar cannon with a bubble shield without playing Russian Roulette with the shot blowing up in my face...

[@KXA-7]

Thinking of trying Eruptor, Grenade pistol, HMG + stun grenade for bots And Eruptor, grenade pistol, stalwart + incendiary nades for bugs Can use any back item depending on mood: jetpack, laser, supply or either shields SO MANY COMBOS

[@trianwarshield]

I was just thinking as I watched the crossbow in action all we need now is a grenade pistol and then Woo we can have a full loadout of explosive weaponry then lo and behold what pops up next Hail to the king of boom.

[@KolMan2000]

Adjudicator and Crossbow looks like the most balanced weapons here. Everything else is WAY OP or super underwhelming. Maybe the grenade pistol as a backup for nest clearing

[@slayie9521]

The Eruptor not gonna get nerf... yes its looks amazing but think about that, now you can use the miniguns and much more versatile loadouts 😎

[@ImrazorZodd]

Erruptor looks like it's going to replace the autocannon in my standard loadout
