BEST LOADOUT FOR THE TERMINID IN HELLDIVERS 2

[@bigtone231]

I personally have been using the Arc Thrower, Guard Dog, Orbital Laser, and 500k. The Arc Thrower and Guard Dog synergize so well together. I've been averaging at least 400 kills on Suicidal missions (with a full squad). You just gotta be careful where you shoot that thing though because it'll take out your whole squad if your not careful lol

[@ragingreaper1190]

I had a team the other day running this loadout and they had no care to stop firing when I was near the enemy, I was a well cooked helldiver for the terminid lol

[@Kevo2blessed]

You should try the laser cannon instead of the arc thrower. That thing melts now lol

[@NOBODIES_XIII]

​@@ragingreaper1190I always pay attention when I use the Arc Thrower. Every shooting game i play my teammates always step in front of my shot 😆

[@sirfunkalot3404]

You can use anything in low level missions like suicidal

[@caseyclark5174]

I've mostly been doing solos, now that the railgun is nerfed I really love the Arc Thrower. You can really easily deal with chargers and bile spewers while it also picks off most of the small guys for you at the same time without having to waste any strategems, then I save my orbital railcannons for Bile Titans. Rocket pods looked pretty nice though might try those. Use Airstrikes mostly for versatility and closing bug holes while still being a good AOE. The last spot is the hardest for me. Supply pack is super underrated to get stims and grenades back on the go constantly. Usually I'm torn between Shield Generator as the obvious choice, but the Guard Dog Rover is way more fun. It does such a good job of picking off little things while I focus my arc thrower on the big threats. Only problem is I still don't really have a comfortable favorite build for team games. No matter how many times I say it people just run directly in front of me while they see me charging an arc thrower, flame thrower, railgun anything lol. And they push up way too close to the enemies where theyre at risk of being arced or lit on fire and I can't use my main offensive options.

[@DakkaBert]

in my experience the chargers just dont die when hit with an arc thrower, are you hitting weakpoints with it? also yes the average player wants to face tank everything for no reason and get into unnecessary fights, it can be a bit frustrating

[@caseyclark5174]

@@DakkaBert It's not that you can hit a weakpoint and instantly kill them like an EAT or the old railgun with the 2 leg shots, it's more just that you can spam it super fast anywhere on their body and eventually they'll go down, and it has infinite ammo too and if you have good positioning and you're luring the enemies in a straight line towards you it'll also be arcing and killing everything else too. I usually like to eliminate all the small ones until it's just the chargers and then just kinda circle them and spam them over and over. There's also some videos showing off the technique you can find but after you fully charge the first arc thrower shot, you don't need to do it again for a bit, a half charge will do the full lightning blast so you can really spam them out fast. Then as a last resort if theres like too many difficult enemies or too many chargers at once, Orbital railcannon or 500 KG them is a good panic button.

[@Sk8RJOSH94]

In my experience with randoms, you want to avoid shooting enemies within like 20 yards of your teammate which means I gotta hold back sometimes but I never get team kills.

[@mattalegi286]

For teams the build I usually run is the 500 kg, mechs, shield generator, and the flamethrower

[@caseyclark5174]

@@Sk8RJOSH94 it’s just annoying though because they’re screaming help help! While 80 bugs and a charger are on them, and they have nothing to kill the charger, and I do but I know if I try to help it’s just going to arc and obliterate them lol

[@dman7668]

The arc thrower was unappreciated weapon but now I would say it is top dog on hardest modes. You need unlimited ammo to deal with the hordes.

[@kince7629]

😮I've grown quite fond of the arc thrower. It does pretty great damage and arcs between targets allowing for crowd control. It's pretty great for when you're one of guys who runs off to do side objectives while the main duo do main objectives. No one around to worry about your arc thrower arcing to a team mate and killing them

[@zetroxela1884]

The eagle airstrike is just perfect. If they nerf that, then I’ll riot.

[@peterk2735]

It's the one stratagem that's consistently been useful in all sorts of groups and missions I've been on.

[@Chickensandjohnwich]

I’ve been running Arc Thrower, Jump Pack with 500 eagle and airstrike, I feel like an actual shock trooper

[@GoBIGclan]

The EAT 17's are the way for sure. You can crank those puppies out every minute and have enough that even your teammates are picking them up. No having to stop in one spot to reload... just fire and grab another. Autocannon is also great. I wholeheartedly agree with your loadout, but I would choose the EAT IT over the flamethrower, reason being you can almost always find a flamethrower/stalwart/MG in the map but having AT potential at the snap of a finger every 60 seconds for the entire match is just too good. You can also use your strat beacon as another weapon seeing as how you get one every 60 seconds. Stick it to a charger and you can theoretically kill 3 chargers with 1 call-in every 60 seconds lmao more killing power. Use them to take out nests if you are out of nades as well.

[@minighost244]

I am not gonna sugarcoat it: ⬇⬇⬅⬆➡

[@CRA1546]

I like the grenade launcher to take out bug holes but you've convinced me. you can find a weapon after you load in and having the EAT 17 every 60 seconds is huge

[@maddxmogs6219]

When I'm playing with randoms EATS are the way for sure. Though I've really been enjoying the Recoilless when I play with friends. Against bugs I've definitely fallen into more of an anti-heavy role with eagle airstrike, the ol' five hundo, recoilless, and the patriot walker.

[@fanaticpharaoh6689]

Easily the strongest most slept on support weapon

[@GoBIGclan]

@@CRA1546 It's the solution to the multiple charger problem. I love the grenade launcher don't get me wrong every squad should have one. Hell, you could do airstrike, EAT, grenade launcher, ammo. I've experimented with having the EAT replace the 110, it's doable but definitely a trade off.

[@devonfrancis57]

Apologies Eagle 110 Rocket Pod, I was not familar with your game.

[@Yamyatos]

Controversial opinion: Airstrike is overrated. Dont get me wrong. Yes, it can damage heavies. But it's rare to ever take care of anything. Yes, it can close bugholes. But oftentimes it does not, or maybe just one or two. Yes, it can clear swarms (well, anything can), but the area is pretty small. The only advantage is that it does all of these things. For any given task, there is a better option tho. So it really depends on what you need, a jack of all trades, or a specialized tool. Rocketpods are just bad. I dont know why people use it. It misses way too often, and even when it hits, deals pretty much no significant damage against chargers or bile titans. If chargers were oneshot pretty much always, and if bile titans were heavily damaged to the point of being able to finish them off differently, or killed by a second pod, then sure. The footage shows bile titans just dying in one hit from pods. That's just not the case for me, ever. Not even chargers die most of the time. Was there perhabs a PS5 host in these clips? You can literally 1-2 shot bile titans with a railgun (still) with PS5 hosts due to crossplay issues.. rocketpods, in my experience, just outright suck. The Exosuit is good. But only good, not mandatory-good, imho. Tho im biased since i usually play duo, and each stratagem slot matters so much more the less you have of them. Definitely bring a mech or two in a 4 player team, but personally i find it too limited. It's insanely helpful when you have to defend a location tho, especially on extraction. The amount of stuff you can get rid of is pretty much unmatched. But it also has downsides. It can explode on landing due to a bug, and you can hit yourself with your own rockets to blow your own mech up, when rotating while shooting. For something with a 10 minute cooldown which you can only use twice, that's just not acceptable. Again, your milage may vary on this one on larger teams. And again, i absolutely dont think it's a bad pick. It's great and fun, and really helpful in certain situations. Im just personally not a fan of things you try to hold off on using. The more liberally you can use a stratagem, the more flexible it can and will be used, and the more it gets done overall. This is a choice between a powerspike or a generally good performance, which also is why i would suggest taking it in larger teams but not smaller ones. Flamethrower.. i just dont like it. I ran it for a while after the railgun nerf. Sure, it can get rid of chargers (and control swarms to some extend) pretty efficiently. But in reality, you usually light half the area on fire and afterwards realise that you need to get through there, either to escape, or to get to an objective. This wastes a lot of time, or you just run through it, and waste a stim. The amount of times i tried to kill a hunter, the literally worst enemy in the game, and it jumped in my face to set me ablaze, thus killing myself with the fire, is too damn often. Not like it happens constantly, but i really dont need freaking hunters to get even more PTSD inducing. When a charger runs past you you also oftentimes cant keep focus on the same leg (and set a half-circle area around you on fire) thus drastically increasing the time to kill. Im currently using the arc thrower. Does all of that, just better, imho. Slightly slower to take down chargers (comparing best-case scenarios), but far longer range, far better group clear overall, and way less teamkill potential / area denial when you know what you are doing. Of course this involves a bit of tech to maximize its DPS, but you can shoot well beyond once a second when done properly. I sometimes kill chargers before they reach me on a straight path. Due to range alone, the flamethrower cannot do that. Both feel inconsistant tho, and i will replace my support weapon with the next best thing that interrests me.. there currently just is nothing. I ran something like orbital laser/railcannon, eagle airstrike / cluster, shield and flamethrower after the balance changes, with pretty decent success. I now switched to 500kg, orbital ems, shield and arc thrower with great success. It's so much fun aswell. There is hardly any situations where i feel like i dont have the right tool for the job, which says a lot in a small 2-player team. Anything short of a bile titan can be stopped with the ems strike, but i swear people forget this thing even exists. Want to escape, or reset an encounter? EMS, run away, done. Want to group up a swam or create some breathing room? EMS, done. Want to attack a small POI without the damn things directly calling for help? EMS, run int, kill, done. A bug breach? EMS, now they are all stuck on one spot. Despides all the utility it creates on its own (on an insanely short 1 minute cooldown aswell), it groups up stuff. Especially for bug breaches. Which is where the 500kg now comes in. One EMS and a 500kg bomb thrown in a couple seconds later can take care of pretty much an entire bug breach without the bugs ever leaving. After grouping up a swarm with an EMS, a 500kg gets rid of that aswell. I once had 4 chargers on my butt and literally threw an EMS right on top of myself, followed by a 500kg, to kill all of them. The 500kg also has a decent enough radius to close 1-3+ bug holes in a nest, which gives it the same utility in that regard as airstrike, with the added benefit of actually being useful against titans. With the shield backpack you can also tank the 500kg explosion, which lets you use the damn thing extremely generously, even in short distances. You can even stand below a bile titan to make sure it stays in spot, while having the damn thing land right next to you, killing the titan, but not yourself. Just for reference, in about 100h of gameplay, i never really found a use for the 500kg bomb. I found it underwhealming on its own, and i really dislike taking more than 1 eagle since i find it awkward to manage the different charges and deciding on when to start the big cooldown intentionally. EMS took care of that weakness and, combined, turns into a tool against both swarms and heavies, with tons of utility and enough uptime to use freely. Arc thrower also has a ton of synergy with EMS, for obvious reasons. Can singlehandedly take care of a bug breach aswell. You can exchange the shield for something else (like a mech), if you dont feel like you need it. I mainly use it for the synergy with 500kg (which is tons of fun aswell), aswell as preventing deaths being quite important in a smaller team, since getting back on your feet can be challenging sometimes. And, well, it helps against the worst enemy in the entire game just eating your face: the hunter, enemy of humanity. With this loadout i personally, finally, have tons of fun with the game again. Always felt like something was missing before since the balance changes. You always either lacked firepower against heavies, survivability, swarmclear or utility / fun imho. For me, this has it all. TL;DR: Can only recommend :)

[@trazyntheinfinite9895]

I only run ems if the team I'm with uses some teamwork. I've noticed that if it's just chaos, then the EMS still has its use, but it's better to run a setup that dishes out more damage

[@aboyandhisdad7857]

Arch thrower, jump pack, and then rail canon and 110s for always ready heavy control. Dont use the 500kg instead of railcanon so i can alway make sure only my orbital or eagle are on cooldown at one time. Arc can put away a titan or charger pretty quickly once they're softened with a 110 rocket pod. Always run any Democracy Protects armor passive as i use it like a shield as you dont always die when you should.

Arc thrower jump pack airstrike and mech

[@pdxmarine1430]

When playing with a group of friends that can coordinate loadouts, one thing I've found that works well is having 1 pilot, who will just have support weapon and backpack stratagems for the other members of the team, clearing up a slot for each of them to have a mech since the person in the mech can't call in stratagems themselves while piloting the mech That way you've got a total of 6 mech call ins and instead of having to wait 10 minutes, by rotating who is calling in fresh mechs you can do it any time a new one is needed.

[@tekklord]

Bro thats kinda good. Divers should start to see mechs as powerfull temporary weapons instead of sleeping on them until extraction. With your way of loadout you can easly "waste" mechs for big nests. Thx for inspiration soldier.

[@cavemanbonk8320]

Autocannon (amazing against heavies, good in combo with a Stalwart user, but otherwise too small of a magazine, also no reloads on the run). Arc thrower (great for killing teammates, near impossible to master). Spear (hard to hit, too little ammo, maybe viable in a support role but I rather use an orbital instead).

[@brothatscrazy3418]

To me it depends solely on what I'm doing. I almost exclusively play lvl7+ difficulty. If I'm helping a friend with samples we'll run difficulty 7/8. For stratagems I'll run Orbital Laser, Eagle 110 rockets, Eagle Air Strike and Bubble shield back pack. For Weapons I'll usually run the regular Breaker, Senator revolver and impact nades. And wear light armor that increases nade capacity. The general thought is to spread out ASAP and find as many PoI's along the way to main/side OBJ's. I've gotten to the point to where I can do a decent job of finding the "dick rock" on the map as soon as we land, if the map isn't obscured. If we are focusing on medals then we go difficulty 9 and B line it to main OBJ's complete them and just kill each other as there's no point in evac'ing as it's just a hassle and waste of time. For that I'll run Orbital Laser, Eagle Air Strike, Eagle 110 Rockets and it's a toss up between the Orbital Rail Cannon and Spear. The Orbital Rail Cannon is great however the Spear has been surprisingly good for me. But it can be finicky with locking on with damage. However, it is fantastic at range and mainly use it as peel for mates. For Weapons I use the Redeemed, Impacts and Jar-5 Dominator. The Dominator is crazy slept on if you have good aim. And I love it. Pretty much kills any of the none medium mobs in 3-4 headshots. It is sluggish and has low total ammo capacity but Idk, the weapon just feels fantastic, IMO.

Primary: Slugger Secondary : auto 9 Support : Stalwart Strat 1: LMG Strat 2: Eagle A.S Strat 3: 110 Rockets OR orbital rail cannon Strat 4: (Flex slot) I generally run orbital laser but honestly, anything to fit YOUR play style can go here. *I think backpack shields and rovers are handicapping players skill ceiling. Should be used as an power up, not a crutch. The support weapon can handle 95% of everything. Slugger for bigger and armored enemies. 110 rockets or Rail cannon for BIG bugs and the flex slot for whatever YOU need. A throw away rocket?, jump pack?, ammo pack?, orbital laser?, mech? Seems to cover all scenarios pretty well and is off the beaten path of overused builds. Take care and good luck, Helldivers!

[@peterk2735]

When playing in a group of 4 with my mates, I go for the stalwart, so I can take keep the small bugs off them and let the rest of the squad do their thing. Highly underrated if you know there's at at least 1-2 other solid guys on the team!

[@MetalWingedWolf]

That bank account looks like it was purchased. All the neat numbers ending in zeros at the same time.

[@matthewt100]

I like the expendable at, 2 shots to the face of a bike titan kills it and will blow off the leg armor of a charger. The resupply is short too

[@sergeoh735]

so how do you kill a bile titan after weakening it with 110M?

[@hotcoldman9793]

I really hope they release an armor that is fire proof. I want my fire build!!! ❤❤

[@Nazwabezcyfer]

Cannon is so slept on

[@MorroWolf]

Rail cannon strike is great for chargers and titans as well. Breaker spray and pray is also great now for bugs.

[@olivier1622]

Ça ne fonctionne pas, sauf en facile

[@jediastartes6595]

Automatons next?

[@danielcervantes3779]

Dont sleep on the laser cannon. It can melt chargers if you hit them in the back legs and melts through weak spots. It can also shred bile spewers and nursing spewers. S tier.

[@LucasDStarz]

interesting that the mech would take the backpack slot, i was wondering how it would fit in the 4 strategem limit

[@xx1545]

I love how every mission turns into call of duty zombies at extraction I feel like we need a lot more to work with

[@xdman9]

btw shiedlpack does work in the exo suit. currently in love with 500kg / railcannon /patriot/ shieldpack.

[@roguerex292]

I need a stradgem that calls in that plane that drops the exo suit in and follow me around. I seen it destroy a bile titans no effort

[@prototypesend7075]

The 110 Rocket pods can one shot the bile titan at times. It needs to land 2-4 rockets on the bile titans head to eliminate it in one go.

[@JasonPearce1441]

What’s about the armor? Did you prefer light or heavy?

[@boblee8069]

Ive been using the Eat Jetpack Machine gun Rocket pods You dont have to rely on strategems as much for large takedowns. The mobility makes medium armor more viable. On the highest difficulty lately the armored spitters have been the most deadly enemy and the machine gun cuts through them well

[@Jan-oe4cc]

As a Helldivers 1 veteran, I believe we should be able to call the hellbomb like we used to lol

[@CptVitus]

Yea

[@EcchiRevenge]

I think bringing stratagem support weapon is a mistake currently; with flamethrower buffed you're almost always able to find something useful(basically anything that isn't stalwart) against bugs at minor POI. Depending on mission I would bring just shield pack and 500kg/110/strike/380/120(pick 3) or pick 4 + no shield in case of blitz(throw 380 and 120 into center of hives and keep running) 110mm is actually a lot better than it looks; if you use scorcher, you can use 110mm to almost guarantee a crack in bile titan's armor and kill it within one mag by shooting the crack on top.

[@ChevisPreston]

This is a fun way to play. You’re able to bring in extra offense. I usually run the spear but extra rocket pods help clean tanks up anyways and allow you to bring 380s for heavy holes if you want.

[@maikbaumann1250]

1 to 1 my loadout, i guess iam doing something right 😁

[@NOBODIES_XIII]

Wish I could stomp the ground with the exosuit

[@julianandrade4041]

Hell yeah, mentioning the Jar💪💪 very underutilized. I aim just a little bit to the right and youll hit exactly what you want

[@robm2630]

Are they going to raise the level cap?

[@holdmybeer4418]

Flamethrower, rail cannon strike, shield backpack and eagle air strike or 500kg for me. Sometimes I'll drop rail cannon for autocannon sentry If we already have plenty of rail cannons or lasers.

[@milplayer17]

Same i use this build but i use clusterbombs instead of eagle airstrike. Its great

[@michaelnielsen9651]

weres the spray and pray on this list after i got it and the nerfs to the braker i enjoyed it more becourse its just more ammo efficent

[@michaelnielsen9651]

my full lodeout it 500kg orbitable lazer shild generator grenade luncher to close holes whit

[@WickIsFollowYou]

what armor do you use?

[@hoosful]

Wait is all your stuff capped ?

[@isaacfrost9250]

Pretty sure medals are capped at 250.

[@hoosful]

@@isaacfrost9250 good to know

[@enigmaprime6789]

"The best loadout is the one you enjoy using"

[@Cillipuddi]

I can not roll my eyes harder at this. We all get it and support you having fun your way, other people are having fun this way. Get over yourself.

[@MeowLesty]

Some Loadouts people enjoy using end up using all 20 reinforcements by themselves cause they cant kill chargers

[@Hedzik]

For me best build for Helldive is 500 kg bomb , patriot, autocannon and 380 mm. Main weapon SG-225SP Breaker Spray and Pray to kill those hunters. It's good that there is no meta.

[@peteyen9367]

heard that the spray and pray got a buff. Is it really that good now? Im getting tired of standard breaker but I like the fast firing

[@deiwos7278]

i try a lot of thing this week end versus bugs on helldive and i agree with you 100% For most of the mission i run with : -Mecha (awesome to clear tunnel , i always keep 1 available for the extract) -500kg (but it's really inconsistant i need to try the 110mm) -Eat or Flamethrower -Shield (that i switch sometime for the Jetpack it save me a lot of time adding extra mobility) If i play with the Flamer i choose my light armor with +2 heal (because i always burn myself 😅) if not i switch to the red light armor with grenade +2 For Eggs and Nest operation i switch the EAT/Flamethrower for the Grenade Launcher and i sometimes take the orbital 120mm I also try the Spray and Pay it's not "too bad" but i clearly prefere the Scorcher I would love to get a buff for the senator like at least double damage so it can 2 headshots Hive guard (and 4 hs Spewer something like that) mix with the breaker it could be awesome. However for Automatons and i still can't find something that fit my playstyle , i don't like autocanon can't aim properly with it , i need to practice the Arc Thrower i don't feel confortable with it on bots.... and the lazer even if it's buff ... it feel.. Meh 🤨

[@jojofrancisco6648]

I run a slugger since it deals with basically every type of bug, the laser canon for heavier damage, and guard dog to help clear the hordes. To deal with the bile titans I just run an orbital rail and eagle airstrikes to help with extra clear. It’s a very effective load out since you can basically hold your ground against everything

[@OftenYesMan]

Fun fact its more beneficial for your team if only 1 or 2 of you take backpacks and support weapons. I've been running Galting and auto cannon sentry, cluster bomb and oribital rail cannon. And it absolutely provides much needed crowd control. While teammates bring a flamer/Arc thrower and a rail gun (can still 1 hit Titans in the mouth) Edit: this is HD9 difficulty I'm talking about.
