Helldivers 2 - The NEW SG-20 Halt Shotgun Hits Like a TRUCK.. (Solo, Super Helldive Difficulty)

[@IliumGaming]

you didn’t really get to see it since you rolled a pouncer seed, but the Halt has incredible durable damage - it handles spewers really well!

[@SuRGeoNofDeaTH.]

On Bile Spewers it's not good mate. Tried on head (about 3-4 shots) and on body it takes forever. It's the only npc that Halt really struggles. On other enemy types it's a A-Tier weapon overall. RIght now imo Scorcher it's the best all around weapon, bugs or automatons. Specially on full auto mode a significant weakness that Scorcher had with Hunters, right now it's not a problem at all. So in conclusion if you cover the ammo thing with Scorcher (either run a Supply Pack or be a little careful with ammo economy) you can deal with evth and be efficient. Bile Spewers, Chargers, Behemoths, even the mushroom nests can be done with the weapon.

[@IliumGaming]

@@SuRGeoNofDeaTH. I mean it’s not as good as something like a grenade launcher but it’s definitely better than a lot of other options. I was consistently 3-4 shotting armored spewers to the body earlier which is enough, pop one and he tends to pop the rest near him anyway.

[@H2XBD]

@@IliumGaming the new pistol 2 shots both spewer variants 0.0 I found myself swapping to that to handle spewers even while running the halt

[@stzander9603]

@@SuRGeoNofDeaTH. if you do a 1 stun then get close ive found its 2 flechette to the head

[@SuRGeoNofDeaTH.]

@stzander9603 Switching between modes isn't reliable at all, mate. Bile Spewers are an issue for most loadouts. Even with Scorcher I mentioned, you have to hit their belly so you can have an easy/quick kill. Halt is a good weapon, don't get me wrong, I use it with my anti tank loadout, and if I have Bile Spewers I deal with them with grenade pistol or I just throw an Orbital Barrage on them.

[@wah9312]

This thing is a MONSTER for teams lol. I like pairing it with a guard dog, machine gun and incendiary grenades, and then you just stun everything with the stun rounds and turn swarms into a joke. Super effective on spewers and stalkers especially, I love it sm.

[@Ertzy_]

"what's up legends" (says the real legend)

True story. Takibo is really a great player, if not the best solo Helldiver.

[@milanstevic8424]

25:00 regarding the strafe-locking, yes! I thought it was only happening to me, I even thought it's something I was doing with my hands subconsciously. Thank you for mentioning this.

[@Okraken-l2r]

Friend with your aim even a blowgun becomes a meta weapon

[@owenrobinson5031]

Can we just take a minute to appreciate Takibo’s aim??? Like good god my friend, you do not miss

[@KerriganTyranid]

You have the best (or one of the best) opinion about this new warbond. I see a lot of people complaining (as usual) in the comments about this warbond and I pity them. Helldivers 2 is more fun than never and have a big variety of good gear to use. All 3 new weapons range from A to S, depending which faction you are playing against. Big win for the players that knows how to play the game i guess. Keep up the good content, Takibo! Abraço!

[@jaye.9669]

👍

[@Flameshot_]

ik right, my only gripe with this war bond and it is a biggy is the armor, I just want to use it and the passive be good, and change the one in the superstore to heavy please. besides that the booster paired with vitality booster is good, and the primary weapons are A tiers in their respective factions and the pistol is just purifier Jr, the smg could use some adjustment to make it slightly better, excuse me AR, and many complain about the shotgun but like they are just being toxic because it does 20 less damage then light pen punisher and its medium pen, and the stun rounds aren't meant to kill and people are like "so what are you just going to sit there and stun them so someone else can kill them more easily?" yes, yes I am, plus you can stun chargers if you hit them on their belly side or the but, really great gun for bugs, not s great for bots

[@noneofyourbusiness4133]

KERRIGAN?! 😊

[@KerriganTyranid]

@@Flameshot_ Finally someone that understands the game. You made good points. About the armor, I have a theory. The Red Armor was supposed to be the Heavy variant (it looks more bulky) but at some point AH had an idea that the Jin Roh armor would be a best seller in the store (just look how they did for the first time ever, with cape and player card) and it needed to be Medium armor because of the appearance. But in the warbond, having just light and heavy armor would not be so popular and decided to make the red armor also medium. It makes sense?

[@KerriganTyranid]

@@noneofyourbusiness4133 SC2 + W40K xD

[@Digimaul]

All right I just want to take a second to acknowledge the quick shots he's pulling off with this thing... He's going through the terminids like he's burning through an aim practice app.

[@Tac6497]

This is my first time seeing one of your videos and your ability to survive so long on super helldive solo is mind blowing. Good shit!

[@Darcasaur]

the red armour looks like them red storm troopers from the sequals

[@tomduke1297]

i love bringing the mg-turret to bug worlds, it does so much work and has so little cooldown, its basically god-tier.

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

Takibo, you should use the stun rounds the shotgun has before throwing a stratagem, it comes in clutch, i got 130 kills with my barrage multiple times

[@nightfalls5462]

ooooh great idea! first mass stun a partrol, and throw a strike on it! holy shit you dont even need to bring stun grenades this way! daaaaymmmnnn thats nnnnnnnnnnICE! gonna buy the warbon asap!

[@maiy8786]

This gun seems to be out of it's comfort zone against the bugs with the exception of Alpha Commanders and Bile Spewers. Aside from those two enemies it's really only a stun gun to be paired with a trash clearing support weapon. Incendiary Breaker is still superior. It's why I still have the most kills in a full lobby despite doing objectives and being a loot goblin (no kill farming). This isn't me trying to brag. It's just a clear performance indicator of a weapon. Not many people use it anymore and you can definitely feel it on Super Helldive that lots of players have issues with killing stuff fast enough to create space to do objectives and loot which means the rest of the team has to do more.

[@azakatura]

nobody tell ohdough. he's still complaining all the guns suck lmao

[@musicarain4702]

his comment section is so awful lol

[@ANIT_CREED]

He has a super skill issue.

[@Gundolf300]

Well they kinda do suck. Or rather, they don't bring anything other weapons don't do alot better. Also, the dude got some pretty valid points if people bothered to listen to them instead jumping to conclusions.

[@justinwalker4037]

Don't forget that pouncers die in 1 melee attack. Can save you a bunch of ammo. Also you can switch to you stun magazine when running on empty to help make some space!

[@bobzthabarbarian]

I dont fight the bugs very often unless the MO calls for it, but it's decent vs the bots. Especially the berserkers once they're close. The stun round is a beautiful addition as well.

[@evictor99]

That poor helldiver's shoulder would be very sore after that run.

[@HungryCats70]

UI bugs: Reloading doesn't always happen. Push button (spam it...), and will only do it after several clicks. Great video, thanks for demoing the shotgun. Just picked it up, looking forward to using it!

[@준석김-e4j]

Man, Somone is a bloody sharpshooter. Nice video.

[@GoodOleThor]

"Of course, it takes y'know 1 shot per kill" Proceeds to immediately pointblank 2 pouncers with 1 shot XD

[@drewrhodes9954]

Been loving the Halt as well. Thought I would like the SMG better but Halt ftw. Love the sound of it.

[@Trikill3R935]

Ive been having the same problem with movement after using a stratagem. Its pretty annoying but other than that, the game feels better than ever. Nice work on this one, Takibo

[@zemufinman1639]

Slugger lovers are in SHAMBLES! Im talking about me

[@inflatable2]

Of all Helldiver 2 youtubers I've seen you probably have the best aim..

[@drscarab99]

Does anyone know why ohdough and his fanbase hate every warbond that comes out, even this one

[@ANIT_CREED]

Ohdough is sharing an opinion that makes him sound like someone who doesn't know how a live service works and his fans are eating it up and attacking "glazediver" channels because he mentioned them not to attack them but some his fans are brain dead and is doing so by funny mean comment's of new bond bad or dev bad but they been the epitome of a good live service game with an awesome dev team

[@C-Mour]

He has a bad history with other games and dev teams (looking at you PhoenixLabs), which I belive might be part of why he now hates everything. It is rather childish and is one of the reasons I stopped watching his content. Quite sad to see him devolve over time but we'll, it is what it is.

[@xLisranda]

This update when you call in strategems, the last input you enter will be locked out until you press the button again. So you have to double tap forward to keep walking forward if UP is the last input, double tap left to move left if LEFT is the last input etc. I'm also CONSTANTLY clicking outside the window this update. And there's lots of name plate and shadow glitches too. Lots of frustrating stuff.

[@JungGun-x-]

Yeah I feel like the inputs have always been buggy but have definitely gotten worse since the last update

[@ZzVinniezZ]

yeah this update make input between strategem and normal WASD become so damn annoying or the scroll wheel as well .....i want 2 of those revert back the way before.

[@Mandalorian1997]

that's an amazing solo run even if it's not full clear, nontheless that's outstanding ngl, gonna head home and try out the halt on terminids after seeing your run I think the halt shotgun would be more amazing if there is another dedicated key for it to switch in between the stun rounds and normal ones.

[@Bvoid-b]

This weapon is amazing with a buddy near, on stun its really effective at halting (heh) the enemies at farther distances than it can kill even, its safe to let someone else do the kill or switch to a support weapon!

[@azalotblade6696]

i'll recomend taking the rover backpack, that thing hits like a truck and you can get around the fact that it has to reload with the stun

[@ArtoriasTheDripwalker]

​@@azalotblade6696 Halt + guard dog is the real engineer build.

[@StriderZessei]

Honestly, the only thing that could make the Halt better would be a dedicated ammo-program swap button, or if the 12 shots could all be in a single clip.

[@jyp6655]

Hits more like a Honda civic than a truck ngl

[@cryo2099]

instead of wasting ammo on scavengers and pouncers you can just melee them and itll take care of em lickety split, it would probably help with the ammo economy of the shotgun

[@kingginger3335]

6:01 You don't even need to spam the reload with the Halt. You still have a whole extra magazine that you're not even using. If you go into your controller settings, you can change the round toggle from tap and hold to change the round type. To just tapping the button. So you won't have to hold down the toggle and then use the d-pad to switch ammunition. You'll be able to just tap the button, and it switches automatically. But then you can still tap and hold it to toggle your light on and off. It works for any gun, like the autocannon to toggle between flak and regular ammunition.

[@xskyforger6299]

the armor in the warbond is so sick.

[@KerriganTyranid]

And useful. Not flinching when shot is quite handy.

[@zndr.s]

@@KerriganTyranidso true it helps with quasars and the AMR and the railgun and so many others but the thing is without flinching i feel like damage goes unnoticed for me and i die bc of it 💀

[@KerriganTyranid]

@@zndr.s That is another angle that i did not see coming hahaha but when you get used to it, the unflinching will be a big benefit for your aim.

Was it just me screaming at my monitor for him to throw the mini nuke in the maga nest?

[@misuterinaso]

I had that problem too, but not only strafing. I just have problem moving in all directions after using an strategem, I thought it was just my keyboard.

Hey Takibo, what support weapon would you pair this with? Definitely looks solid and gunna try today!

Depends on which faction ur fighting

How do you go so far with the jump pack?

[@zemufinman1639]

Shoulda brought gas strike

[@ClumsyDrow]

I love the war bond cosmetics are great. My only complaint is I wish the SMG had 50 rounds. But it's manageable now if they would just buff the gas

[@patrickhuffman9632]

Whats up legend!

[@YourBoyWang]

In stead of reloading just switch to the other tube with the stun rounds to by time to reload. That stun round can stun chargers.

[@yort3403]

Takibo, if you don’t mind can you please list your PC specs? I’d love to know

[@Summerleader]

25:44 same here, it happen to me too on PS5 the L1 Button

[@northlandphoenix]

I tried Halt on bugs a couple times and this was my experience too, just burning through ammo on tiny bugs not making much progress.

And here I am struggle with level 5 solo

[@kurejiakuma]

It's good but when closing bug holes or bot fabricators the eruptor is just too good.

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

Takibo like the crossbow too much to swap to the erupter I think 😂

[@hody.8381]

Eruptor really not that great since the crossbow can do everything the Eruptor can but better

[@imcarolean]

Crossbow is still the best

[@ipuffin_2139]

ive found you can stun chargers from the front by bouncing shots under them and hitting their belly (I think ?). i usually works for me if you shoot 2-3 shots at their lower face.

[@luftwaffles274]

its their mouth, has a very small hitbox but has no armor.

[@TheFreakdude42]

[@Wolfy519]

A way to tune in spray and single shots on reload menu would be great idea

[@JY-cs1nx]

I ran the rover back pack and was just walking thru solo hordes of bugs it’s actually really effective if you know what you couple it with

[@FafliXx]

I'm also getting the strafing bug, also only going right. Although it also happens after leaving first person aim, not only strategem.

[@zemufinman1639]

The halt would be 5X better if you could swap ammo types with the scroll wheel, either scrolling up or down or pressing it

[@ShAd0w0100]

Waiting to see Full Map clear using ONLY the Constitution! 🤣🤣🤣

[@米切爾魏特曼]

Will be much better if devs just don't make a separated meg for stun rounds, they're basically wasting effort on something that no one needed. And will be appreciated if they use the effort to make a hot key for switch ammo types instead of hold down "R" and not be able to switch when ADS.

[@everfreesnarrations35]

To stun the charger with the halt, you hit it in the mouth, the literal mouth right below the forehead. It's not 100% consistent though. Maybe somebody else in the comment section can clarify a more consistent way

[@adamporter3402]

It’s not an instant stun but it’s a build up, so it depends on how many pellets you can hit the weak point with

[@projectarduino2295]

If I am honest, I choose my guns based on how they sound, not always how they perform. HMG? Sounds nice so it gets a pass. The Halt? Real nice and rhythmic. The Arc Thrower? You know, I love electric weapons in this game, but I hate how the arc thrower sounds. Can’t use it at all. If there was a continuous arc emitter then maybe it would sound better, like an electric spraying machine gun that sounded like a Tesla coil. The rhythm of the shot gun, the whoosh of the flame thrower, the clicks of the sniper rifle, are what I use to pick my weapons.

[@Zvertxv]
