Been working on this one for a minute, glad to finally have it out (literally right before Elden Ring DLC lmfao). Hope you enjoyed it! My wife and I are expecting a child in August so apologies for the slower upload rate! As mentioned in the video, I've got some other projects started and am curious to know which of them you'd like to see first!

[@CulturedDegenerate]

Congrats on the baby! As for the projects, BG3 Pokemon sounds like a fun concept imo

[@BrokenDesktop]

Congrats on becoming a dad soon! Hopefully you’ll make your kid laugh as much as you have us!

It's important to note that since the last big update SEAF artillery can no longer be blocked by jammers, ion storms or the mission timer running out. It stays active as long as you have ammunition and the cooldown isn't running. Also Helldivers drown because it's almost impossible to swim with armour on, you'll almost drown even with just regular clothes.

[@FiveSeVIIen]

what if you have a borat g string on? would you drown in one of those? if not, Borat helldiver armor coming soon

[@AkuraTheAwesome]

It's funny to imagine that Helldivers generally aren't generally taught to swim because swimming means you can't be shooting at enemies or blowing stuff up. Swimming lessons just aren't in the budget.

[@EthanBalkfield]

@@AkuraTheAwesome that's socialist propaganda! Everyone knows that Helldivers can swim splendidly. But the weight of their balls is just too heavy and it pulls them under.

[@LarryPigeon1]

I hate meta crap, all runing fire shotgun i just use the med. machine gun as my primary and the R-36 as my secondary with the grenade pistol as a bug nest killer and sometime clutch clear. Since i always run gas,turret, eagle strike i find it pretty fun to play like that

[@NotFlightt]

@@LarryPigeon1 ive been using Gatling Barrage recently and its been really fun to use as well

[@zachdetert1121]

Deep water can actually sometimes be traversed with Exosuits, and they can carry helldivers on top of them. I haven't tried this myself, but I've seen other people do it and it could save a lot of time on planets like Gacrux, which have a LOT of water.

[@duckman3394]

I love bringing the: Light Tesla Resistance armor, Pump sluggy, Dagger, Stun grenade, Arc thrower, Mines, Fire Mines, Tesla tower. Just lay down in a minefield and watch their numbers dwindle.

[@ilbroken2491]

Admirable Admiral from the SES Bringer of Family Values here, here's a few tips for any fellow helldivers,veteran or rookie. Don't sleep on the orbital precision strike, being the first stratogem you use, some may think it's weak (it's not) and can be spammed (90 sec base cooldown lol). Bait bile titans into their attack animation so it's easier to hit it with 500kgs of managed democracy (just remember to dodge said attack). Tanks take 2 impact grenades either to its side or back to be destroyed, same for cannon turrets (The 4 barrel machinegun tank can be hit with them from the front).

[@seantaggart7382]

Agreed As an ally and Currently Using the USS Last Stand Dont sleep on the railcannon strike's either! Heck use em both! They are both very strong!

[@GreatGreekGaelic]

I was on the fence about getting Helldivers 2 until Marco Yolo posted a video. I don’t regret my decision. You’re the GOAT, Marco.

[@deanmckellar619]

Class Stereotypes: *The JTAC* Many people call for Close Air Support but this one has her Call them back. Anything and everything that can be Strapped to Eagle-1 is on their Speed Dial and their expertise has them dropping ordinance right where it's needed on a whim... Unless a Anti Aircraft Emplacement turns up in which case foul language will have to supplement their armaments. *The Forward Observer* Artillery is almost always a toss of the dice but good thing for you; if Helldivers was WH40k? They main the Astra Militarum and are tossing 20s back to back. Their Orbitals may not have much frequency but when they hit, they hit HARD. *The Engineer* Those bots and bugs look like Rubber to you? Well, good news; this guy fortifies harder than any Bloons TD player and not just with Sentry guns. They may gain a bad rep for friendly fire but half the time it's because someone didn't see all the blinking lights on the ground. *The Quartermaster* Sometimes the most certain weapon is the gun in your hands. Why not make it bigger? MGs? Backpacks? Rockets? You want it? It's yours Helldiver, as long as you're in good terms with this guy. *The Pinpoint* Damage is useless if it harms nothing and this guy knows it. Splash damage is a bonus to them as long as what they're aiming for precisely dies via Railcannons, Precision Strikes or 500kgs. The only way this guy will kill you with a Strat is if you run towards it or you stole his Subway. *The Denier* Ever notice a single path that bots or bugs are coming from? Chances are he's seen it and is about to make it the 9th circle of hell through no shortage of Gas, EMS, Mines and Napalm. May god have mercy for whoever treads across their sightline for they shall not. *The Arsonist* If it is not burning, it is not in their sight yet. Be it through Flamethrowers, Incendiary Grenades or Napalm Strikes/Mines, many a world will burn before them. If they bring flamethrowers to bots though, please check for heatstroke. *The Palpatine* Who can afford a defence budget with that high of an electric bill? Many will fall to their Arc and Tesla weaponry though many must be careful as the Unlimited Power they have does not discriminate. *The Lightshow* If the Enemy were ants, he doesn't just bring a Magnifying Glass... He has a whole damn Telescope. Ammo may not be a necessity for them but with Guard Dogs and Orbital Lasers harming/killing Divers left and right, patience may be a requirement for those around them. *The Linchpin* Even the strongest stratagems can be made worthless if the foundations of a team are lacking. This Diver may sacrifice the freedom of trying new weapons and stratagems but without them, many dives would end in disaster. *The Blueberry* Want more risk? There is no bigger gamble than the pool of randoms waiting to hop in your party and fill you with either surprise of skill, brain boggling bewilderment of stupidity or blood boiling rage of incompetence and/or disregard for the party they are more of a hindrance to than the enemy. God-speed Helldivers. See you down there! - Super Citizen Delta Hooves, *SES Stallion of Peace*

[@dafawdfgDG]

This video is a masterclsss in old / new references and great editing while acting as a tutorial / tip guide / and being funny nice video seriously. - NOTE* (You have been reported to the ministry of truth as a high value target.)

[@johnboy1851]

My current favorite to run, that get's countered immediately 50% of the time now a days, is the "A Bile Titan ate my wife" build. Bring Recoiless rifle, Railcannon strike, 500kg and Expendable anti-tank with either contact grenades or regular for bug holes and delayed explosions.

[@PlasticSmoulder-rk6qm]

Came into this thinking it was just going to say some base level things about the game. I was surprised to see it goes much more in depth.

[@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487]

Some things from a FAF-17 SPEAR hipster. If you blow a bugs head off, don't dive. Smack the goofy outta them, it tends to remind them that they should, in fact, be dead. The P-4 Senator is my go-to sidearm against bugs. While most prefer the grenade pistol, I like having more ammo. I'm (probably) not gonna give you the Ghost treatment for bringing it, but I will silently judge you. You can one-shot Bile Titans with the SPEAR by headshotting them, it requires specific positioning, but is increadibly satisfying. And Orbital Railcannon can kill bot Hulks and Tanks in one use. You can infact, ride chargers, you need a jumppack to do it properly, but it's a heck of a good time.

[@nicolasheung441]

Doing my part to help push this video to my fellow helldivers. I love running the demolition warbond heavy armour with the bolter (jar-5), auto cannon, grenade pistol, with orbital precision, 500kg bomb, orbital rail cannon. The explosions are nice while limiting friendly fire Edit: most of you might have already knew this, but if you count your shots and reload whenever before you empty the 10 round magazine, you can lay down sustained fire with the auto cannon

[@StephaneLevs]

Another tips on the bot side: if a jump pack is too close to you, just melee it! That way, It does not explode when it die. And if it doesn't die, it should be stunned/blocking long enough for you to jump backward while shooting it to dodge the explosion!

[@DaYemenball]

I love how the best load out is whatever you have. It means everything can do something correctly and nothing is objectively bad (except for gattling barage) and no matter what, bullets hurt, but bigger bullets hurt more. Kevlar prevents damage and ouchy feelings, but more Kevlar does it better.

[@Ylliaster-TheRisenPhoenix]

This is getting added to my list of "democractically approved videos" :D This was exceellently put together :D

Lots of good rhyming going on here! like a Dr Suess book!! well done! great video man!!

[@khandykiller4054]

Really good video and I also learned a lot too thank you. Regarding loadouts, my loadout is: Used to run the SC-37 armor with SC-15 helmet But now to carry the young helldivers, I run the B-08 Light gunner armor with SC-30 trailblazer helmet for speed of a light armor but armor of a medium Guns, Incendiary Breaker with the triple barrel shotgun or the grenade launcher as secondary with the regular grenades. Stratagems: Eagle 500kg Bomb Orbital Laser For big guys and crowd control ^ For fights on foot v Guard dog Rover Flamethrower All purpose load out. But to survive against automatons, switch flamethrower for either the QUASO cannon or E.A.T or now COMMANDO

[@imaz7210]

Honestly an absolutely fantastic video. Super Earth salutes you.

The tip about the berserkers really helps. I use my machine pistol claw an emergency berserker killer by hitting that place.

[@HadoukenHero]

Grats mate! Take all the time you need. BG3 Pokemon would be pretty cool, but suppose everyone would want a elden ring dlc vid in the future.

[@bobrocker1019]

You can kill chargers and titant with the auto cannon, armor desync helps kill chargers if they turn around and you aim for their back leg the titans you have to get underneath and put 11 shots into is thorax you’ll know your hitting the right spot if you see a little flame effect.

[@bobrocker1019]

My bad hit the titan near where it’s tharax and abdomen meet actually it’s closer to the abdomen.

[@sunnysonne2957]

This video needs a bit of an update now. Behemoths, Spore Chargers, Impalers etc, oh and shriekers can hit you on the ground now. On the bot side we've got Rocket tanks, and updated scout striders with new back and side armor, Tow rockets, plus new troopers too Other than that, absolutely flawless, second to none ❤

[@DaYemenball]

Attention all eager new recruits! Do not get discouraged when you don’t instantly have a ton of weapon choices. Your default is already great and your MG stratagem is great. Unlock the Anti-material riffle as soon as possible, as it is extremely good against literally anything. I hope to see you on the front soon, doing your part. Panzerlinks, (future name being DaYemenball) out.

[@saintdane7336]

4:49 this exact moment is when I realized they could reuse the bottomless pit assets on planets and just have a massive hovering centipede/tunneler bug for a hive boss fight, oh no. Oh god

[@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487]

17:59 I can summarize. Running The Throwing Knife without Engineering Kit. _"Stick Around!"_ Running Knife With Engineering Kit gives you a whopping 10 kinves. And allows you to create a Jojo Reference.

[@DanielHeath-e5d]

On bile titans you can shoot the sack under them and it’ll disable the acid

[@benevolentduck9598]

If you bring an auto cannon against the automatons make sure to shoot off the gatling guns of any factory striders you see. It only takes two shots per turret and makes them a whole lot less threatening as it allows the rest of your team to peak out of cover and shoot it with their own support weapons/ stratagems

[@indy_com]

[@DeinoSarcosuchus]

0:10 Madagascar hissing cockroaches originate from Madagascar (every 60 seconds, in Africa, one minute passes) and have been caught, imported and bred as test subjects, movie props and pets. They breed too slowly to be interesting as live feeder insects (even expelling and wasting their tube shaped egg sacks when the air is slightly too dry) and I've never heard of any escapees escalating into a pest infestation. (Although a single adult can survive for a few months without food, due to their sheer size.) An exotic animal done dirty by the reputation of its better known relatives.

[@NeptuniumNecromancy]

Some more Warhammer 3 wouldn’t hurt. While challenge runs like the ones you showed can be a blast, you could potentially look at multiplayer shenanigans too. Of course it would take a lot of work and organization but those can be really fun to do if it is done. @morewarpstone is one example of a very campaign pvp focused channel, though collabs can be hard by nature. I guess this can be taken more as a direction to start?

[@Randomness662]

Considering that the Factory Striders are *slightly* more annoying to take down than Bile Titans, and that the Bile Titans are allegedly "small" bugs on their "homeworld", I can't wait to see what Arrowhead has cookin' up for the terminids

[@MrPieguyDaBoss]

Best loadout to fight Bugs is Airtstrike then either one of the following precision, 500kg or Raillcanyon then Napalm to "close" Bug breaches support has to be Flame Throw as its does everything horde clearer ✅ Anti tank ✅ Untility it can do it Primary secondary is Breaker Incend and Nade pistol for Bots as well then Incend impacts for more fire Best loadout to fight Bots is basicly the same but instead of Railcanyon use eith Precise or 500kg instead of Napalm switch to obital lazer and support has to be AC its the best and most boring BUT most reliable

[@conradshtock3039]

I think someone's already said this, but the napalm strike actually can destroy spawn points. You just have to be really, REALLY accurate/lucky with them.

[@grezu669]

I think that the fact that the plasma punisher lets you "rocket jump" is being really overlooked by the community
