Helldivers 2 | NEW BEST ANTI-TANK LOADOUT!!!

[@Hedgepook]

16:45 You weren't in any danger. The beacon will follow you, but the Eagle will strike at the original point of contact. (As you can see in the footage.) This is different for blue stratagems, which is why it's always worth trying to stick an EAT beacon to a charger. The EAT drop pod can grab the kill, giving you a potential 3 charger kills for one call-in. Bargain, right?

[@sharjawee]

"60% of the time it works all the time" Great loadout idea, ty for sharing

[@MrSefiroh]

😂👏

[@theyehsohz]

I feel that the eagle cluster or rocket strike is really good if you kite back and dropping it at your feet but slightly off to the side. It turns it into a straight line infront and behind you. Once you drop it, go immediately the opposite side, if it’s your right foot- go left, vice versa. Works wonders when you got the entire map behind you.

[@itsthisguyNeil]

People have been sleeping on the anti-tank rocket. I always bring it and, unsurprisingly, I’m always the one getting the heavy kills when my teammates missed 7 straight times with the railgun

[@leegarner4592]

just a caution, stockpiling EATS may cause freezes/crashes - there is an issue with items introduced into the game.

[@greentoke4589]

There's been no reports of such bugs, sounds like dangerous misinformation 🤔 I personally call down eats everytime cool down is up and leave the map littered with freedom spreading firepower. 😉👍💯

that sickle is definitely worth unlocking. It's really useful on near every mission as a solid rifle, and only really suffers on planets with extreme heat.

[@jovifidelis]

When you aparently hit his head but it didn’t oneshot the charger, you didn’t hit his head, you have hit his jaw, that normally happens when he’s screaming before a charge, and it is not a bug, just when he’s screaming aim a little bit up so you can oneshot him.

[@mikemhz]

SMG is one of the best because it's one handed meaning you can run while shooting backwards to take out chasing hunters

[@thecivilizedshark4283]

1:42 Everything you said was true here except one thing. The 500kg has an awful splash radius for what it is, and I would even go as far as to say that the eagle airstrike covers a larger area (in my experience).

[@draken4672]

36:36 U can cancel Stratagem by changing to a weapon with 1 2 3

[@wtfronsson]

Take stun grenades to make all of your airstrikes land on target. Also get the behind-the-leg kills on chargers with stun nades. Works with pretty much any primary, when you can see the squishy bit at the _top of the front leg,_ visible only from behind.

[@wtfronsson]

Also Scorcher is the best primary. It's simply so much accurate and effortless DPS. It deals extra damage to charger buts and spewers. And whenever you get covered from long range by a few Scorcher shots that wipe out several spewers that were about to ruin your day, you realize how powerful it is.

[@DIVINEGAMES]

The stun grenade and going behind the legs sounds really strong going to look into this thank you :)

[@isaac-5404]

ehehehe squishy bit🤏🏻

[@Zhippy]

17:35 You fired the missile the instant the charger telegraphed its charge by "rearing" a little. Not entirely unlike a horse. In doing so, the charger raised its head a little higher than usual. You would have struck it perfectly had you fired a brief moment sooner or after, but the charger timed the rearing perfectly so you got a throat shot in instead. Edit: The missile impact also knocked it out of its charge, hence why it did not come barreling for you immediately. Edit 2: 19:05 Now I actually am a little unsure about what is being telegraphed. It definitely did "rear" a little, but maybe it was because it chose you as a target rather than actually going for a charge? Or maybe it just didn't have time to get up to speed before the missile took its head off. Hard to say, regardless, rearing was definitely why the 17:35 missile didn't take the chargers head off. Edit 3: 6:25, 6:40, 8:00 14:12 (barely) 21:39 and again at 21:50 and at 28:52 the same thing occurs, Charger stops, rears its upper body, the head goes up, then it comes back down again as the charger trundles forward. The rearing is absolutely telegraphing charges. Though it bears to mention that it can also do that when it does a melee attack. At 38:55 you do not fire until the head comes back down again before you fire the missile, and its a square in the noggin hit. (Can you tell I get obsessed yet?) Good game, and good loadout for dealing with armor!

[@DIVINEGAMES]

I appreciate all the dedication on it thanks for the heads up!!! : )

[@Zhippy]

@@DIVINEGAMES "heads up" That's some s+ tier pun right there. ✅️ 🤣

[@souldisparity3083]

i find it helps, even if i don't know if it true, to think of each body part has a range of health instead of a fixed value. Sometime the health is lower then the EAT so one shot, some higher add some extra sauce. Maybe it hit the armor wrong and most of the damage got blocked. Remember the devs are ex-mil if you think a AT4 Kill one shot every time, no sometimes you need a little extra.

[@archmage99]

Thanks will try this build out.

[@loociousz]

IMO the CD on railcannon is way to long to be an effect choice since it's also often effected by all effects on higher levels whereas eagles effects are normally not specifik. I therefor always bring 500 kg and eagle airstrike since both strats can handle all enimies and buildings/holes. For primary I bring the scorcher coupled with shield backpack and light armor servo-assisted vs bug and fortified vs bots. EAT vs bugs and railgun vs bots.

[@MrSefiroh]

Interesting. I always feel i have access to my RC strike. 🤔 It can chill things out super quick.

[@loociousz]

@@MrSefiroh I had 50% CD strat increase and 100% orbital CD increase. In that case bringing an orbital strat isnt smart plus both eagle airstrike and rocket pods can do so much more. You can basicly kill up to 5 titans if they land correct or destroy buildings/close holes. With railcannon you can kill 3 but not close holes or destroy buildings :)

[@arbiter1]

Problem with only eagle strategem's is once you run out you are out until the eagle returns to resupply. So you take out both your. IMO better to have something split so you aren't causing you to be stuck.

[@loociousz]

Well, if everything you bring can kill everything you need too, then I dont mind. Furthermore eagle rearm is only 2 mins without effects, which means you can use 5 x strategems versus 3 strategems in the same time

[@rhus3]

Railcannon strike feels like a noob trap because it has huuuuuuuuuge coldown for something that may fail to kill a single enemy.

[@Kyldrake]

this is exactly what I use most of the time. I do run a shotgun as primary and the bonus grenades medium armor though.

[@EndGameLooter9715]

I think you missed one particular benefit for the Expendable Rocket Launcher: The Strategem Pod itself. The deployment pod itself acts like a mini-orbital strike, true, having been nerfed for its damage, I am still killing more Chargers using the pod itself rather than the weapons. You let the charger run at you and throw the strategem at its body so it attaches, and make sure it slams into something or has to slow down. The damage from the drop pod is still enough to one shot at the right angle.

[@MedusaTargets]

Been experimenting over the last hour and got a pretty solid load out 500kg bomb orbital laser and EAT 17 and guard dog. Philosophy 500kg or EAT IT plus Laser for bile titans laser can also mop up breaches EAT IT for chargers

[@heliossun429]

Fyi you can use the antitank drop pod to kill the charger then you have 2 more to kill 2 additional chargers.

[@ismaelcastro7878]

As good as the EATs are i always seem to run into an issue where i aim it but can’t fire it, even if i wait for my character to finish readying the EAT and its really annoying

[@areksu17]

It was so fun and usefull watching this video, I do really like your explanations and how you teach all the little details. I’d love to see other videos, good work and keep us updated!💪🏻❤️🔥

[@arbiter1]

eagle 3 times til cooldown is kinda misinfo. So it won't enter cooldown until the ship returns to base to rearm, which that means 500kg have to be used or you send it back manually. If you had 500kg left you lose it til the cooldown ends.

[@advancedmonkey7702]

If your team is calling too many EAT around the map it might crash your game. 🤷‍♂

[@TurntBucket]

I mostly agree with your strategems but don't see why you would take EATs over auto cannon. The auto cannon can 2 shot chargers and is more useful/usable in so many other aspects (bug holes, shrieker nests, mid tier enemies). I would also save my rail cannon for bile titans. After that you can just finish them off. Using it on chargers seems wasteful unless you are in a really desperate fight. You can kill chargers pretty easily without it.

[@T_Birmingham]

Don't waste a Railcannon use on a Charger, EVER. There are plenty of things to use to kill them that aren't on a 3min cd. Tip for the Railcannon and Bile Titans: if you knock out their stomachs to where they can't spit, the Railcannon is a guaranteed 1 shot.

[@jordanwebb2874]

red stratagems don't track when stuck to an enemy, only Blue stratagems track.

[@artsoulkoloskov]

You know you can keep running and shooting 1h pistols and smg begind you without aiming, right?

[@alexnewsome24]

Dont aim at the mouth, you gotta hit chargers in the head plate not the mouth for 1 shots

Has anyone checked if recoilless rifle back pack works to reload EATS? If so that could open up a new explosive support play style…

EATs are 1-time use, can't be reloaded. "Expendable" is in the name.

[@ElevenRats]

Idk, it’s kind of noticeable that your character immediately throws the EAT away after firing. They cannot be reloaded

For all of you watching this he’s wrong about the orbital cannon. Use the cluster bombs to destroy all the little mobs when you get bug breach.

[@souldisparity3083]

Sorry to say this but I don't think the dev think its broken, But if a whole squad brings them its Stupid strong, especially vs bots.

[@vitaliyred622]

Let me spair the time: EAT-17, Railcannon strike, 500kg, Eagle air-strike. If all 4 or even 3 have EAT-17 you can clear 9 easy. So people saying kicking Cadets is okay are DEAD WRONG, they only need EAT-17 and Eagle air-strike, that's it.
