Firearms Expert Reacts to Helldivers 2 PART 4

[@himynamelscolin]

3:08 honestly for me, a team reload in a group of complete rando’s with no mic is such a pure moment

[@marlowcowan5343]

One of my favorite moments from any match was team reloading an airburst weapon. I dropped in to a squad that had completed the objectives and were fighting across the map to extract. On the way I diverted a bit to pick up a fallen helldivers samples and since I hadnt brought a backpack I picked up his airburst backpack as well. Got to extract and there was the fellow, fighting with a new airburst launcher to hold back the hoard. Running up and team loading him brought on the best fireworks show the outer planets have ever seen, and the cheers in chat were great.

[@jameslake7775]

Regarding the LAS-7 'Dagger': It's not a battery, it's a heatsink! If you don't use all of it, it cools off and you gain the ability to fire more shots without needing to reload, but if you use it all then the gun automatically ejects it. I'm fully onboard with Dave's headcanon that the recoil comes from fans (or maybe a liquid cooling pump) trying to move heat away from the critical components.

[@olstar18]

No its a focusing lens. If it overheats the lens fails and is ejected and you have to add a new one but if you give it a chance for the heat sink to cool it you can keep firing.

[@Hixoltage]

It makes sense for the fans to be ejecting heat forwards, hence the recoil, you already don't want any part of you near the end of the gun, so pump the heat that way.

[@z1dj.]

[@waywardgun]

The bushwhacker also has an alt fire where you can fire all 3 barrels at once, although with how often you are being swarmed in Helldivers I find it's much more useful firing them separately. Also the liberator carbine is really good on Burst fire. Nice recoil control with the option of spamming wildly

[@spacedoubt15]

Bushwacker has great pushback too, great at keeping Brood Commanders away. Handy vs Stalkers too.

[@HGScout]

the alt fire can come handy in niche cases; a charger behemoth's front legs with armor peeled off can be blasted instantly off in a pinch, and it will outright vaporize a brood coommander at close range. obviously it's way more efficient to use the single shots, but it is useful as a panic option when you keep it on alt fire as default and switch back to single shot manually when you pull it out deliberately in a calmer situation. also yeah it's also exceptional against stalkers since it one taps them on the head and causes pushback-stun if not. perfect compliment to a loadout that can't deal with stalkers.

[@handlesarecringe957]

The all barrel fire option will one shot berserkers, which is the main reason to use it. It can also two shot chargers if you shoot their tails.

[@ODST_Parker]

[@thatgreenfur6584]

The crew served idea would be better if the other person didn't need the backpack and they could just grab rounds from your own backpack. That would mean people could keep their own kit and not have to stick to their squad mate the entire time.

[@Sergiblacklist]

I agree wish they could reload from the pack you're carrying

[@ASpaceOstrich]

It worked better in helldivers 1 with the much greater team awareness everyone had. In the shift from top down to third person several core features have found themselves out of place. The game basically doesn't use the angle of impact mechanic at all now whereas that was one of the core features in helldivers 1. I think they need to make some weapons that will only pierce charger armour on a direct hit.

[@jingleheimerr]

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what happens if your crew loader doesn't have your ammo type. I believe they just take it from your backpack.

The Crossbow looks inspired by the EK archery cobra R9, specifically the adder version with the magazine. At least the cocking lever under the crossbow and the magazine look very similar. The real one has recurve limbs though, not compound. I also think Hunt: Showdown deserves another video, so many cool old guns.

[@TheChungassSupreme]

For the Laser Cannon, Scythe, Sickle, and Dagger, instead of using a battery, they use something called an I.C.E., or Interchangeable Cooling Element. In essence, it's an ejectable heatsink, and like all heatsinks, if they get too hot, they need to be replaced. As for the Verdict, I'm shocked he didn't cover the fact that it fires 14mm rounds as a sidearm.

Crew serving in Helldivers would happen more if the player crewing your gun did not need to wear the backpack. (Honestly, it makes less sense that the guy loading you would wear the backpack cuzz that means it would take him just as long to retrieve the shell from his back to load you... But whatever).

[@cranelord]

Totally agree. Maybe in real life it makes sense that you'd have a second person carry the ammo for a heavy weapon. But 99% of the time your gonna carry your own ammo backpack because it just way too common to get split up. They listened to the community about having seaf artillery available after the destroyer leaves orbit so hopefully they'll hear us out on this.

[@oohhboy-funhouse]

It worked in HD1 because you couldn't leave, it's teamwork or die. Between the reload time, power and closeness of the enemy, only the most self-centred or bad players wouldn't crew reload.

Thanks to Jonathan and Gamespot again, throwing in my perennial appeal for Jonathan to cover the weird indie PC games Receiver 2 and Cruelty Squad

[@gunnargunnarsson5963]

I also like to see Jonathan react to the guns of Binary Domain, which is a cyberpunk game taking place in 2080 in Japan, and the weapons that the main character squad, the Rust crew, are equipped with are basically futurized version of modern guns. And the robots that you fight also have their own standard issue guns, there's also the underground Resistance, who built their own guns. The game was developed by the same people behind the Yakuza games. I would also like to see Jonathan take a look at the guns of Vanquish, a 3rd Person Shooter from Platinum Games, the weapons ranged from futuristic assault rifles, shotguns, LMGs and pistols to energy weapons that actually use the main character's suit energy to fire, too bad Vanquish didn't sell well enough to warrant a sequel, which is a huge shame since the ending is quite abrupt.

[@Astraeus..]

With the mention of aiming phasers in Star Trek, my inner nerd decided to come say hello; For starters, many of the rifle and pistol style phasers across the various series actually do have integrated aiming reticles, like fancy red-dot in space type deal. They are almost never used, but they're still there. As for Starfleets other hand held phasers, the ones that look like TV-remotes or wtv (including the later, ergonomic ones) they have the benefit of being directly lined up with the forearm when held correctly. That makes the process a little more intuitive than it otherwise might be, and some reasonable amount of training (which most Starfleet officers would have gotten at some point) would make them fairly simple to use. No recoil and no need to worry about trajectory (the beam comes out exactly straight from the emitter...or at least it's "supposed" to, some of the older TNG and DS9 era shows didn't exactly get it right) make it fairly manageable....there's also the fact that under the vast majority of circumstances, Starfleet = stun, and a stun blast legitimately can make contact almost anywhere on the torso and it's going to do the job regardless.

The Airburst Rocket Launcher is one of my favorites. Many times I have killed myself and / or a squad mate with it, but there's been as many times where I've shot one airburst to an enemy squad and get like 10-20 kills with one rocket. It can be extremely powerful against squads.

[@g80gzt]

Jon, LAS weapons (Scythe, Sickle, Dagger, Cannon, Quasar Cannon) don't use batteries, they use an overheat system. If you don't burn out the heatsink, it'll cool down and let you use it more later. All this said, the Dagger has 200DPS up from its old 150, whereas the Scythe has 350DPS up from its old 300. In terms of "I am panicking and pulling out my sidearm because I need something dead faster than I can reload", it's a very poor sidearm. As a "I will mop up a couple of scavengers and pop mines" tool, it works well.

[@ASpaceOstrich]

I hope they bring back the Tanto at some point if they can find a way to make that concept work in third person.

[@BackwardsPancake]

I appreciate it a lot from a consistency standpoint (that a direct energy weapon with no recoil will also logically have little to no force-based "stopping power" on the target), but it is kind of depressing to use in the actual game. Although, granted, so are all the sidearms aside from the grenade pistol.

Hey there Jonathan!

If i recall correctly, the liberator in the first game was bullpup, and the silhouette was very morita like. Additionally, it had a carbine, marksman and LMG variant which aside from the LMG was also very morita like. So the AR-61 is probably exactly them riffing on the Morita again.

Jon, you can get camo skins for your Mechs from Viper Commandos, so you can be camo'd in the jungle planets. However, the Emancipator's autocannons basically trade most of its Durable damage for AP5 and a tiny bit more oomph on Standard damage.

Assisted reload is such a cool mechanic, but getting other people on board is a pain. I've avoided public matches (I've played enough multiplayer games that disabling non-friends was the first thing I did after leaving the tutorial), and when playing with people I know, they'd rather take their shield or supply pack than be my personal pez dispenser. The autocannon is fast enough to reload, but the recoilless rifle and spear sit in the armoury gathering dust because they're a one shot per fight deal. I get four times as many shots from the EAT-17, and don't EAT a backpack slot, at a drop in power that I barely noticed.

[@iron_side5674]

Pointing with your finger is actually very accurate. The body has a sense for that, you basically always know where your limbs are, even if you can´t see them. With enough training and the right weapon design, you can shoot accurately from the hip using that sense.
