AUTOMAXXING in Helldivers 2 || The 4 X Autocannon Loadout

[@bee5440]

Single-handedly keeping the 20mm production lines in business

[@Davernn]

Autocannons against the fabricators rely on ricochet, the closer you are the farther up on the vent cover thingies you aim

[@Mogz-hd]

gotcha!

[@FrostyFrodo]

Eventually you can just use the Force to "feel" where the shot hits. A true Helldiver must become one with his Autocannon, to understand the way of the Autocannon.

[@vikingvod3626]

​@@Mogz-hdAim at the center of the reflected light. There's some fine tuning at extreme shot and long ranges but you'll get that down.

[@joshuakelley438]

I did this for a full week after the Emancipator dropped. Called it Autocannon Awareness Week. Autocannon is my favorite support weapon by miles. I still use everything else, but NOTHING ELSE COMES IN 20mm.

[@salmonstrike8]

How to actually Automax: eruptor, bushwackler, impact grenade, autocannon, autocannon sentry, emancipator mech, orbital gatling barrage, and bring a friend who also carries an autocannon and then let them sit on top of your mech so they can throw stratagems and shoot more precisely

[@sambeserra7170]

Haha bushwackler

[@AUStaku]

Great build and video thanks mate, subscribed. Autocannons are by far my favourite firearms; will be running this build with the breaker incendiary or dominator for my primary cause I'm a shotgun diehard, but no shade to sickle enjoyers, that's a mean weapon.

[@lBakerl]

Looks like a fun load out to run. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@thesinistermilk131]

The music fits very well

[@KageRyuu6]

Normal Autocannon doesn't have Heavy Pen though, while the Autocannon Turret does, so don't know why you primarily use the former for Heavies and the latter for Hordes.

[@Mogz-hd]

heavies tend to go straight for turrets n destroy them but yeh i do use both for both

[@johnhubbard6262]

Looks like a fun yet effective build/strategy, got me thinking about taking one when trying to farm rare samples as I am tired of getting half or more of them just to fail to extract.

[@divinelyshpongled]

such a cool build - great vid Mogz

[@lyonidus3073]

Thanks for shedding some light on the sent-from-heaven autocannon weaponry!

[@Northwind82]

I remember watching you stream this while I was at work on the release date. I pre-ordered the game but was unable to play cuz I was at work.

[@miemsliva4464]

I would like to know if this was recorded before the new patch, because now using this might be very fun with the Gatling Barrage buff, Exosuit arms being able to adjust to aim close better, and the Peak Physique passive letting you handle the AC like a dream. Could maybe even pair it with the JAR if you wanted maximum "thump thump" per gun.

[@Mogz-hd]

recorded most of it before the gatling barrage buff. Automatons demo is with the buff tho yeh could go JAR.. especially against bots.. but , really needs the light target potential of the faster firing guns like sickle imo esp against bugs

[@ottodotbot]

I like your Better Homes and Gardens soundtrack. Alongside your dulcet narration, it provides lovely contrast with the visceral carnage on the screen.

[@Mogz-hd]

beautifully said and thank you

[@Ed-ss1uh]

Great video!

[@ObliviousNaga]

Gattling barrage is good now. Airburst strike is the worst now

[@SagePent395]

The gatling barage now destroys heavy armor! That with its super low cooldown has made it a new add in to my loadouts

[@GooiYingChyi]

We seriously need an autocannon barrage that has some aiming capabilities at Bile Titans and or Chargers (behemoth). Eagle 110mm Pods kinda fulfil this role of offensive autocannon strategem. But it's still pretty weak against Bile Titans and Chargers (since they decreased the damage tremendously, read: NOT a Nerf).

[@Farzi2323]

its just a matter of time before they add to ability to use stratagems when in a mech, since the mech has a hatch on top and L1(on controller) is not binded to anything when in a mech.

[@Mogz-hd]

really bloody hope they do add that.. would make mechs way less annoying to use

[@Farzi2323]

@@Mogz-hd i am 100% sure they will add it, just give them some time. like you said yourself, its in HD1. I would love to atleast see how long the cooldown is left on my stratagems while im in the mech.

[@Mogz-hd]

@@Farzi2323 yeh im just a bit confused as to why they wouldnt have added it right from the beginning if its something they want in the game. Like... surely there's nothing technical getting in the way of it. So... whats the hold up? Its not a new idea since its in Hd1 already sooo... it seems like something theyv intentionally omitted to me. agree: re cooldowns

[@Farzi2323]

@@Mogz-hd i feel your pain brother, been thinking the same about many simple things that should have been added in the game since day one. but you know how it is with modern games, they release beta stage and gets worked up to full game. Imagine how insane the game will be in 1 or 2 years, third faction(maybe a fourth?), no bugs, great optimization, more guns/stratagems, its gonna be insane. But all we can do for now is patience and try and enjoy it as much as possible, cuz even if sometimes it can get frustrating i goddamn love the game, and to be completely fair they are working their ass off and made great progress since launch.

[@Mogz-hd]

@@Farzi2323 couldnt agree more :)

[@adriankoch964]

@8:45 You can just walk over scavengers instead of hopping our and using the sickle. Most of the time they won't even get a chance to hack at your mech. Walking over Scavengers dosen't seem to cause damage to the mechs legs, so you can save a fair bit of time after having dealt with hunters and anything bigger.

[@gabeperras3711]

If you really think about it the eruptor is basically a primary auto cannon to further max out your auto maxing

[@Mogz-hd]

yeh fair call. not sure this loadout would be usable with the eruptor tho lol would struggle way too much in close quarters

[@fenickungleonza2571]

@@Mogz-hd you can use bushwackler shoteis + impact nade not the best build but you feel like everything in your loadout purch like Auto cannon

[@JAMeep-xx1vv]

SMH... didnt see any love for my boy Pelican 1: who uses the strongest autocannon in the game.

[@Grumpy1174]

The HMG emplacement is just 2 auto cannons strapped to a platform

[@Mogz-hd]

there's no way those are autocannons

[@Grumpy1174]

@@Mogz-hd They don't look like auto cannons, but they function near identitical to an auto cannon. They have nearly identical damage and armor penetration, with the HMG emplacement having a higher fire rate. Of course, the HMG is a tough sale when it's stationary, though.

[@Verminator4]

Might be worth pointing out that autocannon can take out Automaton mortars and AA guns also as far as secondary objectives go

[@KFARR]

Because fire burns things good lol

[@GooiYingChyi]

Level 7 is laughably easy now due to decreased spawns in elites. (It was already easy with the right loadout).

[@knightsofthesucc1853]

Good now I can casually super sample farm

[@miemsliva4464]

Are you SURE they aren't spawning more? I've been unable to play on 7 and 8 since this upsate, and 5 and 6 feel like they're absolutely brutal

[@kchapo_4202]

Level 6 feels like the new helldive

[@joshuakelley438]

@@kchapo_4202 Idk, I did 2 full campaigns on Helldive for Bugs last night and completed both. I think what happened here is that having a shitload more chaf on bugs isn't that big of a deal because crowd control is kind of easy, but on bots it just means 9,000 more lasers flying at you from halfway across the map, which starts to make it overwhelming fast. I haven't played bots higher than 7 since the update though, because there's already too many gunships. tldr: In my opinion the update makes bugs easier and bots harder.

[@dadwonthugme610]

Yeah easy if I flcik my mouse every which way like I'm in a proffesional 10,000 dollar pvp tournament bit I'm playing a silly pve game I ain't putting in too much effort

Kinda wanna use a prinary that fired rounds that have some mass/flinch. AR maybe tenderizer

[@Tacgonmaner]

my load out normally AC, Orbital laser(base/titans/striders), orbital railgun(heavy units), eagle cluster bomb swams or factory bug hole if im in a bad angle to hit them (eg behind it)

[@thanetheforsaken8769]

auto cannon really is the goat of stratagems

[@life_of_roots9033]

Nice content! I love the fun part of gaming and not al "the this is the best"

[@Jimmiesmom]

Replace primary with breaker incendiary and the pistol with the nade pistol and itll be a bit better imo.

since when? i know they buffed them a couple of patches back.. but.. this most recent one i dont recall anything about spore/shrieker

[@petergriffinson1907]

@@Mogz-hd it normally take 2 EAT to destroy it now it takes 3. Since this patch. A very unnecessary buff.

You should swap gattling with Railcannon, not the exo suit.

oh yeh totally. i just figured some ppl maybe hate using exos

ty brotha

[@IRMentat]

see vid: as an AC-turret and support weapon user i'm interested. see mech: i'm out! compromise: i'll trade the mech for the precision-strike (or maybe 380?) and pretend it's a REALLY BIG ac. P.S. AC-turret is a SNIPER turret, don't call it at close range. It overwatches YOU, ideally from a ridge-line or rock (125m range and it's AoE can self-delete)

[@Mogz-hd]

hahaha yeh thats why i suggested durin the vid that u could replace mech with smthn else like railcannon for anti biletitan

I want to see you automaxxing on a Level 9. See how autocannon fare against behemoths.
