HELLDIVERS 2 - 120mm Barrage, Proper Use

Bro bought the accuracy battle pass

Very nice, I haven’t tried the HE barrage yet, but this video makes it look not too shabby.

[@DeltaWhiskeyGames]

its very situational. i find it most useful for Automatons. Bugs tend to move quickly out of the way and can be on you before the salvos do their thing. Automatons tend to sit and shoot back at you, so the barrages are pretty useful. It's best when you haven't drawn any aggro. 120mm has some use with larger bug holes for sure. 380mm is pretty much a bot clearer.

its like rolling a dice for “please hit the bot factory goddamnit”

[@danarredondo]

Were you wondering who shot that ?

[@DeltaWhiskeyGames]

How do you mean?

[@MyCrafcik]

level 2? get out of here lmfao

[@Zebo12345678]

I didn't even notice that hahaha. Difficulty 2 to showcase "proper use" of the 120mm barrage.

What difference does the level make when showing how to throw a strike? Enemies have the same health pool from level 1-9. Sure, different enemies will spawn on different levels, but the effect of the strike is still the same. Building demolition. The video isn’t showing how a 120mm would take out a tank…

@@DeltaWhiskeyGames Because you can basically use anything on level 2. You could run pistol only with only turrets and it would still work. 120mm on 7-9 isn't effective because of pure enemy density and the fact they'll all be charging at you. Taking out some buildings is fine but the biggest concern is drop ships dropping in bots that call more drop ships that drop more bots that call in more drop ships. In that situation you're either bombing you and your own team due to the fact that several hulks and devastators are chasing you or you get really and they're far away enough that it takes a few of them out but even then you might just end up being unlucky and it misses them entirely

120MM HE (as well as 380MM) can take out spotter towers, bunkers, and can thin out dense enemy forces. The bots won't be charging at you, they will be slowly pushing you while they awkwardly waddle closer, making them prone to barrages. (Unless it's berserkers who usually die pretty quick). Also important to note that increased enemy density increases the value of barrages (because they might actually hit something)

I'm a 380 HE fiend myself 🫡 took out the new bunker mission within 2 min of landing lol

Since the previous update where they tightened the spread a little it became very viable 👍🏼. Been bringing it along ever since.
