WOAH WOAH WOAH Are you having fun!?!? You're such a glazediver!

[@NoNo-xh7ru]

The discussion around glazedivers is so funny cause people on both sides bring it up unprompted and inadvertently reveal how rent free it’s living in their head

[@Pyromaniac77777]

That would make 2 glazedivers!

[@morgoth2425]

@@NoNo-xh7ru that just tells me that both sides love the game a lot and want to see it flourish

I love ohdough slander lmao

[@ZeeDahktah]

Guard dog headshots everything. Definitely a good battle buddy when running solo.

[@diydrivenGA]

Not just when running Solo.

[@Malactha15]

The guard dog pairs really well with many slower firing primaries. I initially tried it when they upped the mags from 6 to 8 with the intention of trying it with the Slugger against the bugs. And it performed marvelously. The Slugger delt with many of the tougher bugs, and the Guard dog delt with the chaff and gave breathing room for the slow firing primary. Then I tried it with the Liberator Concussive after it was buffed. This was a really fun combo, the Concussive pushed everything back while the Guard Dog inflicted extreme cartoon like violence. This worked well against the Jet Brigade as well. Then I tried the Guard Dog with the DCS. The intention was the Guard Dog to provide cover while I perform long distance engagements against the bots. Again, Guard Dog delivers. Over time the guard dog has become a favorite of mine. It allows me to use alot of different weapons outside the meta. Running it with the Liberator Penetrator is pretty fun, two of them running together.

[@NoNo-xh7ru]

Personally I’ve been running the guard dog, eat, orbital 120, and orbital gatling with the halt. Lots of kills and a lot of appreciation from the team for the amount of excess ordinance laying around for use.

[@oceandark3044]

@15:30 When the bots show self-preservation. Dev stares at Thicc. ".... You know what? Maybe I don't see anything. Maybe that's just an oddly shaped turtle. What do I know? I'm a Devastator, not a zoologist. I'll file a report back at base if it's still there."

[@sinteleon]

Honestly though, I've noticed a lot of times that even when an enemy turns to look at you, they don't necessarily have spotted you, often you can just sneak away.

[@electrolitez4237]

Good podcast today! Really felt the passion in this one!

[@thiccfila]

next week! I was gone for the weekend :)

[@adrianos.m.9443]

Guard dog is soo good now. I managed to hold highground on super helldive while testing the constitution when it released. Was there for over 20 minutes but was soo fun. Also i thought about this combo, but didnt unlock the warbond yet, thanks for confirming it !

[@hungcuong606]

It went from trash to top tier

[@sinteleon]

Meanwhile my fun load is AC + rocket turret, shield generator, and AT support of choice. Minifort to serve as staging grounds for even the most fortified of bases (as long as you prioritise on the heavy missile/cannon threats that the turrets don't target)

[@natehanson9672]

I’ve been playing this for a minute I was waiting to see if people would try it out! It’s incredible!

[@RIOGRANDE75]

The man’s back

[@BluePoo52]

2:58 tip for throwing thermite: don’t pull it out and throw it right away. Rather you should let it “cook” for a second or so for the sticky “spikes” to come out and then throw. It will be more likely to stick to your target this way. Obviously don’t cook it too long or you’re dead

[@nanakoshimuraside]

After playing exclusively squads for so long, the number of spawns in solos was so crazy to me. I'd trigger a bot drop and only 2 ships would come and I'd be like "wait, really that's it?"

[@thiccfila]

and mates**

[@leerobinson5896]

I'm level 150 with over 800hrs of gameplay (mostly against the bots) and I haven't been able to improve on this loadout against the bots: Eagle Airstrike Quasar Cannon Guard Dog (Lib Pen) Rocket Sentry Scorcher Senator Thermite Light Gunner Armor Guard dog is S tier and so slept on

[@thiccfila]

Honestly I feel like railgun is just better than quasar against them right now since you can't 1 tap tanks from the front anyway

[@leerobinson5896]

@@thiccfila Railgun is great but QC can handle fabricators, gunships, Turret Cannons, dropships, etc. better than the railgun. I've used the railgun but the loadout had gaps in what it could handle so went back to QC. Love to see you try it in a video. Been following you since the early BL3 days...you always have good content.

[@azakatura]

i almost run the same thing, i take the purifier over the scorcher though. that's the only difference. it takes out everything so fast and effectively.

[@leerobinson5896]

@@azakatura Purifier is probably better l but I can't get used to the handling and trigger feel.

[@TheKnightmares]

The guard dog is definitely strong, but every time i don't have the jumpack on, i miss it

[@FaceIntoKeyboard]

I've been digging the GunDog lately. Takes out patrols and lighter stuff quick, slightly less likely to kill allies if I'm dropping with people.

[@diydrivenGA]

I run the guard dog with the Purifier on bots and the crossbow on bugs along with a quasar and whatever other strat is relevant to the faction I'm dealing with (Walking barrage or bots, napalm orb for bugs) and something with a short cooldown and infinite supply (precision strike, gas strike). Only issue is the dog gets lazy sometimes and you'll find yourself wondering why it isn't shooting at an enemy standing near you.

[@bronzieblue63]

The only thing I dislike about the Guard Dog is that there's no obvious way to make it preemptively reload, and no way to prevent it from attacking enemies that enter its range, idk if there's an actual way to do those things, but I haven't been able to find them out. Otherwise, easily a high A-tier backpack for me.

[@caledaniel8288]

Welcome back

[@herosupport1606]

the ballistic guard dog has been solid since its buffs.

[@Grimm9890]

i wish i could run a juggernaut build (heavy 200 armor, shotgun, ballistic shield,etc) but i get the big sad whenever i try using heavy armor

[@joshuasmyth3115]

The gaurd-dog is an absolute beast that people rarely use. I wont lie, it would be cool if it could be used with the ballistic shield to make as sort of prtector loadout

[@destebangm11216]

After the buffs they made to the guard dog , I feel that is now my favorite guard dog along side the dog breath. I feel that it gives you a lot of breathing room to use not so top tier guns like assault rifles and the eruptor in my opinion

[@lejenddairy]

I really like the liberator guard dog with the anti material sniper. I don’t know what they did with the sniper, but it feels really comfortable to shoot in third person despite not having any reticle. I’ll be 1 tapping reinforced striders and 2 tapping hulks that are charging me with AMR in third person.

[@salaciousdaz8316]

i ran almost this exact loadout last night! Halt (stun) + Dog + Rail Gun is a great combo! I used Dagger as sidearm for those Jet Brigade assholes

[@nuttherbutter4075]

Can confirm this combo is goated

[@madmanthepope6448]

Medic drone would be sweet. The reloading on the guard dog is just too slow, making it faster and more high caliber if it could take out gunships that would be sweet. New ship module: If you ping a target, you can command your drone to attack.

[@legitbetterthanvinny9725]

I think if you land the ssd hellpod on the radio tower it automatically inserts. It happened to me and I was so confused why the objective skipped a step

[@jaywerner8415]

Yeah the Liberator (Liberator Pen now) Guard Dog pairs really well with a shotgun or any other slower firing but hard hitting Gun. Once I got the Halt from the warbond like a month ago i found out pretty quick the Guard dog goes GRATE with it, think about it, you got a BOOMSTICK in your hands and a Rifle hovering above your head. Like, I really don't get why people still pick the Laser dog over the Liberator dog anymore, The Liberate dog SLAP! It will kill Chaff enemies instantly, and thanks to its new bullets it can even kill Medium enemies too. (not to mention it is 1million times less likely to kill you or your teammates) Then we have the Halt with straight up SLAPS with the Frechette rounds and has nice utility with the Stun rounds. Like I think 2 or 3 good shots will Decapitate a Alpha Commander, and you know how SPOUNGEY they are. Heck it will kill a Stalkers in a couple shots too, plus you got the Guard Dog shooting them as well. But yeah "It Just Works", its a unstoppable Combo vs the Terminids at least.

[@SoraTheKobold]

somehow have yet to think of trying the Halt with the guard dog, seems fun honestly my favorite combo is using it with gas and just running like a pure support focused CC build also hi thicc hi hiiii :3

[@thiccfila]

the support playstyle is coooooool hi sora :)

[@diydrivenGA]

Might have to check this out since the gun dawg gets lazy unless you're close in on the enemy.

[@jamiesnape3067]

Could you try it with the concussive lib

[@SuperiorCookie]

Too bad guard dog cant take out laser turrets. Senator guard dog?

[@Malactha15]

lol. only if the drone can spin it when idle.

[@DD-qw7py]

for me the hub rover was lately bugged a lot; did not reload and just flew next to me

[@alextruong6608]

Can you please showcase how you’d solo full clear on the bug side? I can’t pull it off

[@thiccfila]

full clear is only tougher on bugs because there's so many bugs distracting you lol, if you want to full clear use gas nades and probly just run

[@sinteleon]

@@thiccfila also jetpack because it helps you run better, and most bugs outside of close range isn't an issue so you don't strictly need to kill them (along with often being able to just outright run past them before they can swipe).

[@johnvanek9514]

This combo is too powerful against bugs with quasar cannon and turrets.

[@xycan8734]

In reality this needs to be done with pummeler but they kinda killed that gun
