Would never have thought the grenade launcher was meta for bots

[@nsz7977]

It might be after 1.04 since there are a bigger number of medium enemies

[@SlippinSchlong]

it has been from the start of the game

[@damienmcdonald7610]

People under estimate the supply pack and the raw damage output of the grenade launcher! That being said, swapping the scorcher for the blitzer and you have a meta bug build there too. The only issue i have against the grenade launcher is my bad habit of getting flinched as im shooting, resulting in my own grenade killing me. For that reason I'd swap the scorcher for my plasma punisher, the GL for either HMG or AMR and the redeemer for the grenade pistol against bots

[@tripleschmoo8933]

Plasma punisher for gunships?

[@gabruhel1505]

Then what you shoot gunships with?

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

So in other words you would have a completely different build 😂

[@Andrelis117]

another sarge video right as i am making dinner, FOR DEMOCRACY !

another sarge video as I'm eating dinner FOR FREEDOM !

[@HillBillyHell1397]

11:18 you're fuckin stress testing your audience at this bit 😂 JESUS CHRIST

[@spacebarjazz]

No shit! My jaw dislodged itself five times in the span of that one minute

[@patrickhooper2843]

😂😂

[@tracheatrachea]

Really enjoyed your gameplay. Will try this build next time I get on.

[@ralphmalph5191]

Great play!

[@TheWatchinguy4]

Great job❤

[@bryanzzz748]

nice to see you using the engineering kit i always use on bug missions, this is truly the “i’m here to blow bots up” build”

[@Wolf-Nyan]

Meta or not I still feel like the orbital meme beam should have unlimited uses and keep the long cooldown. Sure you’d only get like 1-2 more uses per mission, but watching it waste over half its lifespan on a charger/strider or chasing dropships when you know you’ve only got 3 is agonizing. Granted when it works it’ll clear a base with no risk, but it feels like more often than not it gets stuck on something instead and I wish I had a 380 instead.

[@Sarge94]

You're absolutely right. Would be nice if we were able to designate targets for the beam

[@noty4m4]

3 detector towers yo wtf

[@EdwardLewisIV]

Rocket sentry fits really well with this loadout.

[@dw6nvf]

The supply pack is so good. It gives drums and nades

[@painter5496]

grenade launcher seems really good at taking out devastators but it doesnt look that great against hulks since you have to run around them, especially if you have 2 or more running after you plus additional infantry. really good crowd control weapon but against bigger units under pressure then you might be in some trouble

[@Sarge94]

@@painter5496 that's why you have the scorcher, eagle airstrike and 14 stun grenades 😉

[@BishopNY]

U can double up on ammo with the supply pack. If u give yourself an ammo pack then refill it from the supply drop, u get ammo both times.

[@alphamoonman]

Would really love to see you stretch thin the usefulness of the manned turrets.

[@Revnegthegreat]

I could feel the panic and frustration from the last fabricator

[@CrownsEnd1]

The build is OP because you just call in Factory Striders to kill detector towers for you

[@cykablyat5497]

2:36 is why I can’t stop running servo assisted armor. It feels much better yeeting stratagems

[@stoywarshockofficial9984]

I mean I am excited for Sarge dropping in the Commando test build next :)

[@KylewithaK]

Dont let Alexus see this video

[@Sarge94]

🤫

[@madkaris7224]

My favorite build since polar patriot, but i run it with precision strike now (instead of orbital laser)

[@irradiatedslagheap7933]

Commando's out now, 8K requisition for it. It blows up bot fabricators from any angle. I propose Commando, Jump Pack, Eagle Cluster, and your choice of Precision Strike or Orbital Gatling (or 380, or Walking, or frankly whatever you want to patch up capability gaps). The Commando oneshots bot fabricators, from any angle, can oneshot hulks to the visor slit relatively easily, oneshots gunships to the engine pod, twoshots _dropships_ to the engine pod and fourshots them to the central body, twoshots tanks and turrets, oneshots mortars and AA emplacements, twoshots a factory strider's cannon and oneshots each of its chin miniguns, thereby neutering it, and fourshots the factory strider once you've cracked its head armor. You get one four-round launcher every _two minutes._ It is _cracked._ It kills every big enemy faster than anything else, a single one of them can take out an entire heavy base if you don't mind leaving it full of clueless bots, and it doesn't even take a back slot. Use the jump pack to get onto a rock, use the commando to blow up fabricators and other targets of opportunity, use the eagle cluster to blow up entire patrols, completely erasing anything Devastator-sized or smaller, and use your fourth stratagem of choice - again, I recommend the precision strike - to drop onto factory striders, detector towers, rogue research stations, and anything else your heart desires. On any map with anything even resembling clear lines of sight, you can take out half the enemy bases from a single vantage point if you have an angle on them and are willing to wait two minutes after every firing cycle. EDIT: Slightly late on this one I'll admit, but I think the foresight is kicking in again.

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

Is there a chapter 2? Lol jk sounds like a fun build

[@midend]

resup from backpack, reload, then pick up from supply drop

[@Passerbys60]

That planet is toaster.☀️☀️

[@nikovbn839]

34:38 YEEEET xD

[@smtaylor9633]

General Brasch uses Sarge Tactics, pass it on.

[@OgamiItto70]

Congratulations on the level-up. I'm surprised you never got killed on that drop. It looked pretty bad plenty of times. Almost like the bots were bugs. Sarge: "Fire the orbital laser onto these coordinates. I've got beaucoup bots down here on my position." Ship: "How many bots, did you say?" Sarge: _"All_ of them, it looks like!"

[@raypang8400]

like to see you solo bug helldive

[@varunghosh2384]

I had this build and supply pack never filled the launcher

[@panachevitz]

That was a bit more....energetic... than your usual missions.

[@Tiex13k7]

Hi sarge Nice game , do you have new ship mod ??

[@Sarge94]

Hey, which one? The extra blast radius for 380mm?

[@Tiex13k7]

@@Sarge94 yes or the fast eagle reaload ?

[@greentimedfinesse6928]

How did u get that armor?

[@atypikul1426]

Almost dont even need stratagems with this build😂

[@somnolentSlumber]

out of curiosity I wonder why you're not constantly calling down supply backpacks any time it comes off cooldown since it's basically free double supplies

[@Sarge94]

I kept forgetting about that, probably cuz there was too much shit going on 🤣

[@somnolentSlumber]

@@Sarge94 fair enough lol it's a really good strat especially since the supply backpacks get marked on the map and you can leave them around like breadcrumbs for resupplying after the mission timer runs out

[@MotoRide.]

How do you deal with gunships?

[@MotoRide.]

Ah..Scorcher

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

Did you not watch the video? 🤔

[@613harbinger316]

Did the bots kill their own detector tower?

[@Sarge94]

Yeah, the factory strider did 😂

[@RealYounglingSlayerAni]

Wow, Yet another great vid from our lord and savior Sarge. Keep spreading that democracy!

[@movealongNSA]

Silly meta, just use the plasma shotgun

[@tayboz]

helldivers 2 is solo even easyer als 4 man grupp

[@Sarge94]

I don't think so

[@tayboz]

@@Sarge94 but its fakt

[@Sarge94]

Enemy scaling favors squad play 😉 besides, have you ever tried a blitz solo full clear?

[@Nada-mm2nk]

Functional, not broken. KZbinrs throw this word broken or 'op' around way to much, It's a good build. NOT broken.

[@rogeliorodriguez8518]

It’s broken
