[@imbw267]

Command: There's good news and bad news. Bad news is we can only send the one guy. Survey Team: What the hell is the good news? Command: We're sending in *_the one guy_*

[@thepromman]

Man the planning is incredible. Using the resupply to gain enough height to jump to the rock fixture was awesome. Always gaining new ideas from your vids - appreciate the content!

[@irradiatedslagheap7933]

It's technically unnecessary, you can get up on the low wall just to the right of where he puts it and jump up that way, but it's a bit more finnicky and then you don't have a resupply handy to top up with.

4:18 god i love the animation for crouching while carrying artillery shells

[@catsofawsomeness8058]

4:20 the crouch carry animation could not be sillier

[@matttheyak]

Cossack dance time

[@Justinius117]

9:40 I've never heard that call out from Eagle-1, but I'm so glad I have now.

[@SeverelyGaming]

I absolutely love this guys vids dude so smooth and well thought out through the mission

[@rhaegoti]

That was masterful. You knew, or had reactions quick and precise enough to SEEM like you knew, exactly where to go and exactly when to get there. I plan to spend tomorrow learning how to work the jetpack - I'm usually with the guard dog or shield. Thanks for the inspiration

[@Sarge94]

Indeed, i always plan my route at the very beginning and ping the map pretty often. Also knowing enemy base layouts helps a lot, but that comes with time 😉

[@dysmaruuramsyd3233]

Your gameplay is always so satisfying and impressive to watch. I saw one of your Automaton runs with the Jump Pack and instantly subscribed. Keep up the awesome content!

[@TM86880]

Joel is taking out all of his rage, that not even Sarge is playing around with Extraction! Good drop Sarge, thanks for sharing!

[@_IronAce_]

The crab walk with the SEAF shell made my day!!! Keep up the good work Sarge o7

[@Sarge94]

Cheers! o7

[@frankkrueger2160]

Absolutely perfect ...... as always !!!!!!!

[@DanStrong]

Damn.. Sarge is my guy. Love the videos.

[@arkenexus_]

Shield relay is actually so goated

[@davidachstin3588]

Anything is goated if you use it right

[@Brokentwobutton]

Smoke can also cover civilians and objectives like this, but better vs bugs, except titans, as if they didn't see something go in, they'll stop short of it. Bots will still light up the area from range, but without aiming.

[@rzkrdn8650]

Even with bugged and buffed numbers of enemies you still can do it like a boss 😂

[@Crow-df9qs]

Love this! Pristine gameplay. Would you ever be willing to show how you play vs bugs?

[@sonicpotato]

LUV HOW I LEFT A COMMENT ABOUT GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PLAY AND U FOLLOWED THROUGH

[@CheeseDanish85]

I'm convinced this guy is/was some kind of elite soldier / commando IRL.

[@jamesepperson921]

4:10 that walk tho.

[@Sarge94]

Crab walk 😂

[@hbk4570]

13:45 if I was playing this damn random rocket definitively would give me a headshot and insta dead

[@Fishd1]

19:12 🫡

[@maccie101]

Awesome gameplay, I really should try the jetpack more often. Also, not sure if you're aware, but at the SEAF when you pick up the 2nd shell and walk all way around. There is a stack of crates against the wall with smaller crates in front, you can walk up them and over the wall while carrying the shells.

[@0b3r0ther]

We only see you doing mission against Automatons, will you once try one against Bugs ? :D Technically, Automatons are easier than Bugs, no ? Will you accept the challenge ?

[@catsofawsomeness8058]

Watching you play inspired me to try out the jump pack and solo(altho not to the same degree of success lol)

[@Passerbys60]

04:00 enough for me get heart attack. That close call.

[@sturmsuccessor4192]

Impressive as always. Any thoughts on the Patrol changes they announced and the possible higher difficulties they teased?

[@Sarge94]

Thank you! Patrol changes would be a step in the right direction, the current spawn rates are wild, especially during extraction. I understand why a lot of people are not happy about this. I haven't heard about higher difficulties but it sounds like a challenge 😉

[@darkchild130]

How many attempts does it take to get a perfect run, in average?

[@itsjayk6581]

My toxic trait is thinking that I could do this too.

[@irradiatedslagheap7933]

Back to the scorcher, I see. Can't fault you for it, it's too damned good. A gun that a friend recommended to me for bots was the plasma punisher, now that they've given it half-decent projectile speed it does fairly well. Eight mags, eight shots a mag, each shot is essentially a discount grenade launcher projectile. You can pop clumps of troopers, stagger berserkers and devastators to death, and two-shot scout striders. Notably, the projectile arc makes it all but useless against gunships, so a secondary is necessary (that or a buddy who brought his). I usually prefer my CS, but will take the plasma punisher on defend base or eliminate bot missions, since they're much more close-in. It's very ammo-hungry, though.

[@ellaybee77]

Jaw-dropping patriotism!

[@handlesarecringe957]

Are you not a fan of tossing the shells? You always seem to do the stutter step rather than throwing them towards the gun

[@Sarge94]

Wait you can throw them???

[@2iqplays]

I'm currently only at 7:48 in the video so idk if you do this later but the other day I was thinking for these missions it might be smart to bring the shield generator and throw it away from you when the bot drops are called cuz it seems to draw their attention. Ik from experience a lot of the time I can get away with just laying on obj for the final ore vein and the majority of them just walk away looking for me but I wonder if the shield gen could be a good distraction for the first 2

[@Drew-im7is]

Sarge, why no smoke grenade? Seems like a gr8 fit for your stealth

[@Sarge94]

I like to use nades that can destroy fabricators 😉

[@somnolentSlumber]

clutch random railgun lmao

[@Sarge94]

A really nice find, but the next video will feature something even better ;)

[@sonicpotato]

WAS GONNA DELETE HELLDIVERS BUT SARGE SHOWED ME THE LIGHT

[@MrRolnicek]

You have the upgrade for tighter orbital barrages, right? Is it worth it? Are the barrages actually useful with reduced spread?

[@irradiatedslagheap7933]

It goes from an average of 70% coverage to an average of 80% coverage inside the tighter area, definitely helps but there will still be times that it misses stuff. 380 is incredibly useful on any difficulty high enough for you to justify it, you saw how well it cracked those detector towers and it cleans up massive bases fairly reliably, usually only leaving one intact fabricator, if that. It also definitely helps versus giant bug pits and it's an adequate oh shit button when you're being swarmed by bile titans, but I've generally found it to be far more reliable against bots than bugs. Then again, a lot of things are harder vs bugs than bots. With bots, the strategy is 'don't get bogged down', with bugs, the strategy is 'lmao you _will_ get bogged down, you have no choice'

[@MrRolnicek]

@@irradiatedslagheap7933 If you're getting bogged down against bugs, try the Blitzer shotgun (with light armor). Don't aim it. Just run wherever you want to and blast the nearby enemies with your weapon whenever it's possible. You can play as if the enemies weren't even there (unless it's stalkers, you have to keep running away from them while blasting them to avoid getting hit)

[@strumdo2727]

11:25 Was the shield generator called in to draw the bots into firing at their own factory?

[@PavelXB]

How were the fabricators on the left destroyed at 11:43?

[@Sarge94]

Right one - friendly fire, left one - eagle airstrike

[@arctother5176]

What’s the better solo strat? Eagle smoke strike or shield gen? Also I was kicking myself for not using shield solo but then remembered I did once and realized there’s a skill issue, lol.

[@335chr]

@4:25 hold up you can carry and crouch

[@sonicpotato]

IS SARGE THE BEST HELLDIVER ????

[@Crash-zc1do]

11:42 wtf just happened here? 2 bot fabricators just exploded without him doing anything to them

[@Crow-df9qs]

One was a delayed explosion from the grenade he threw. The other looked like the Factory Strider’s big cannon was trying to shoot him and blew up the Fabricator that was between it and him

[@yaypeace3792]

the factory strider's cannon was shooting at him. and it shot the fabricators instead

[@Sarge94]

One was destroyed by a grenade, one by the eagle airstrike, and one either by the Factory Strider or the Cannon Turret.

[@muhammadsyaifullah4788]

Sarge presence make it blow up

[@sonicpotato]

THE ONLY WAY UR VIDEOS CAN GET BETTER IS IF THERE WERE TWO SARGES!!! lookin into coop automaton play with another high skilled aggresive stealther? Also it may be time to commentate 😋
