Helldivers 2 - Is The Railgun Good Again? (Sickle + Railgun) (Solo Helldive)

[@flighleshawk1865]

Youre always testing exactly what im wondering about, ty for your videos

[@Mute_R6]

Glad you're liking them!

[@andreayton1993]

Foreal lol 🙌🏾

[@svn5510]

That ending… intense doesn’t do it justice. I’ve been there man. I felt that. Nice play overall! Great content

[@BikerMiceOne]

Its scary how your like reading my mind with weapon combinations im thinking about

[@Akabeche]

Hey Mute, awesome gameplay ! If it's not too big of an ask, could you add your full loadout (with armor and booster) in your videos' description? You can reverse engineer it from the video but it'd be more practical if you'd give us the info. Thanks in advance!

[@Mute_R6]

Glad you said this because I've been forgetting to do that.

[@Mute_R6]

Just updated the description

[@Akabeche]

​@@Mute_R6Thanks, you rock !

[@IliumGaming]

5:25 someone tested it and there is a heat sink degradation mechanic, as you cycle more rounds it will heat up faster until you replace the ice.

[@335chr]

From everything I have seen the Rail gun is back to where it was intended originally. excellent at Mediums and small heavies but not really supposed to be anti Tank

[@gabrielshen3299]

Is there a reason to take railgun over AMR? Since amr can take down gunships and can still 2 hit hulks in the face without needing to charge

[@Mute_R6]

As I’ve said plenty of times, both the Railgun and AMR are amazing weapons, and bringing either of them will be good. I believe that the railgun is a bit easier to handle, and it can more consistently kill enemies like shield devastators.

[@adamu6941]

you are brave :) Thanks for the share!

[@aldarrin]

Do you feel like the railgun is working better than the Autocannon?

[@Mute_R6]

I think the railgun might have a slight edge over the autocannon right now especially with the striders now being able to tank more shots from the autocannon, and the autocannon can feel a bit more difficult to use due to its recoil and reload time. However, it really just comes down to which one you prefer using because I think they are both very strong weapons right now.

[@Pr0digyZRX]

​@@Mute_R6mostly it comes down to if you wanna run a different backpack or not? Since the autocannon has one and the railgun doesn't

[@Mute_R6]

@@Pr0digyZRX The autocannon is also a little bit more difficult to use

[@Pr0digyZRX]

@Mute_R6 true. The autocannon was the first good support weapon I unlocked and used regularly. After using it a lot you forget how difficult the learning curve is for it

[@andreayton1993]

No wayyyyyy that ending 😫

[@335chr]

With the Striders if you hit the bottom plate it should one shot Striders even in Safe mode

[@Pr0digyZRX]

17:04 ngl hearing the berserker devastator laughing like a psychopath is kinda creepy 😂 Guess im gonna have to give the railgun another shot. Hows it do against bugs? I really havent played against bugs much since i got to higher difficulties

[@Mute_R6]

Still have not tested it against bugs, but I'll try to do that soon.

[@Pr0digyZRX]

@@Mute_R6 bet. I'll probably try it out tonight. I hope it's as good against chargers and titans as it is against hulks

[@lynchh270]

Its always a one shot to devas and hulks to the face even on safe

[@Mute_R6]

True, but devastators can be one shot in the body if you charge it up enough in unsafe mode.

[@Darthseedi]

i never used to og railgun but i love it rn just on bug missions i feel like i have nothing to take care of bile titans with only a railgun (if i already used my stratagems)

[@GoobusBoobus99]

It could never be the recoilless rifle

[@Mute_R6]

It’s better than the recoilless rifle, and it’s not close

[@B1inded]

​@@Mute_R6they are diff i would like to see you try to take out bot drop gunship or bile titan with a railgun

[@Mute_R6]

@@B1inded I would still prefer most other weapons than the RR.

[@B1inded]

@Mute_R6 yea but now it isnt just objectively worse

[@NIK1357]

Why you took only 3 stratagems out of 4?

[@Mute_R6]

The mission modifier "AA Defenses" takes away one of your stratagems

[@Pr0digyZRX]

​@Mute_R6 literally the worst modifier in higher levels. I've only really noticed it in 8 and 9... but I could be faded lol

[@petercottantail7850]

5:42 yikes railgun is just too slow. sniper the leg and it was gone 2 second ago. poor railgun. also more patrols doesn't make it harder, just forces you to play more passive, for all difficulties its like this. don't use your weapons just run 🥱 can definitely see why people don't like it now. honesty helldive diff seems more tame for some reason. maybe the spawn count keeps getting capped, but that's just a theory.

[@Mute_R6]

I didn't hit the strider in the correct spot, so it took multiple shots.

[@B1inded]

A change forcing a diff playstyle while punishing one it didnt makes it objectivly harder

[@Jetaninja]

The game was too easy on you. Within 5 minutes I get multiple strider drops, hulks , devas.
