INSANELY HARD HITTING Loadout that is MOST fun to play | Helldivers 2 | Heavy Machine Gun

[@plasticpeon]

I just started using the HMG and Ballistic Shield+Defender SMG. It's kind of frustrating with no reticle in 3rd person, and in ADS, unless you're point blank, the bullet tends to land below the red dot instead of on the dot. And that's not even at far range because I was testing that out on a wall. Also, I decided to put a dot on my screen for the 3rd person hip firing 😂.

I’ve seen a lot of negative feedback on this gun, but I’m really enjoying using it. It’s surprisingly good at range on the lowest speed, if anything gets up close I use the highest speed and short bursts. The mag size should be increased but other than that it’s a really solid weapon.

[@agent5657]

This guy gets it ^ Does it need buffs? Yes, Does the IDEA work? It does! The high-medium penetration and VERY high dmg is fun, the recoil is something you can get used to by using it enough, the main draw backs are the..yeah no 3rd person reticle for some reason, and small mag size Also weird thing about this HMG, normal MG gets 1 ammo per map supply, and 1 ammo per resupply Surely HMG is the same? ...no! Hmg gets 1 per map and 2 per resupply Don't get me wrong I'm glad it gets all mags back per resupply? But why does this one get it and normal MG dosent

[@dustinjones7458]

I just started playing today and I can see the issues and advantages of it. It's not something you want to waste on single chaff enemies (tho if you are up against a horde it works well), and it won't take down the heaviest armor. It's good against everything in between, when you need burst damage, but anti-tank is overkill. I've already seen my whole squad get run down by Berserkers...unless I have my HMG in place to support them. It excels against trash mobs with medium armor. Enough to make relying on your primaries difficult, but not so much you'd want to use a rail gun on them.

There IS a way to kill Bile Titans with only this gun but it's extremely risky and I don't recommend it unless you really need that thing dead. Ramp it up to 900 (max fire rate got nerfed) and then unload into its rear underside (you'll get a clearer shot by being directly under it). The gun will eventually kill the thing if you hit enough rounds (can be done within one mag if it doesn't move around much but don't bet on it since stun grenades no longer stun bile titans). Last bit, after the titan dies, it will DROP DOWN. Make sure to dive out of the way and pray you get out from under it fast enough or its sheer bulk will kill you. As said, not recommended but thought I'd put it out there.

[@CaptainGrief66]

​@@duongtieuta223 My guess is that the Stalwart uses the same ammo as the AR-23, so an analogue of 5.56 NATO, while the MG43 uses 7.62 NATO, the HMG would logically be using .338 Lapua Magnum like the US' new GPMG, plenty powerful but can still be handled, .50 caliber is proper Heavy MG range but it's too ludicrous to be handled so easily

I found the HMG absolutely terrible. It needs either a lot more ammunition (200 per magazine) or ideally a large amount of ammo by being attached to a backpack which would make it a real support weapon. Currently, a longer reload time than you can go through 75 rounds and only 2 mags means I'll never use it unless buffed greatly.

[@BrokenSword001]

As a current machine gunner when I dive, I shall use this new information for my spread of democracy!

[@TheDarkness4560]

Vs bots I'd actually recommend for primary the smg defender as it has more dmg and with -30 recoil armor is hecking accurate too. While vs Bugs I'd go with breaker or spray and pray shot gun to keep close enemies away. Overall rly good guide but I don't understand the sickle infinite ammo logic when you run a supply backpack too 😅

[@a_bar_of_soap]

Using the sickle allows you to not worry about needing the supply pack for both weapons and only use em for when you use up hmg reloads. It's a convenience thing. You definitely can use a supply pack for both weapons if ya want to. Just gotta be mindful of how many reloads of each you've used.

[@Adeon55]

@@a_bar_of_soap I think if you're going to bring a supply pack for the HMG, that's the best argument to _not_ bring a laser weapon that gets little to no benefit from those supplies. The HMG will always be your most ammo hungry weapon in this setup, so if your supplies are able to keep that fed, you should pretty much never even come close to having any problem with your other weapons' ammo.

[@joelkim1541]

I like MG's in general and glad we got HMG. I agree that the lower firerate, stun grenades and engineer perk on armor is the way to go if you put the HGM in your load out. The supply pack is good with this weapon but not a must have found plenty of ammo from POI and supply. Like other comments, I think a breaker or scorcher is a better choice of primary if you're bringing the supply pack. Otherwise the sickle is a fine choice. My experience in being successful with HMG is switching weapons to the appropriate enemy type. Don't waste the ammo on the small guys, the weapon is meant to deal with medium armor and some heavy armor. My loadout with this has been, breaker/scorcher, stun grenades, engineering perk armor, supply backpack, eagle air strike and last spot in stratagem can be em's mortor/orbital or sheild generator. I usually run the HMG against bots.

[@Kloudhii]

That's completely fair, can't wait to try out the new stuff!

[@spectrealangritch]

Everyone says to speed up the fire rate… I actually love it on the lowest speed.

[@generalrendar7290]

If you run the supply backpack, it is time to run a primary that is strong but may have ammo issues. Against the bugs, use the Breakers. Bots, use Defender, Diligence, Scorcher.

[@balzaak4803]

The standard liberator works well against the bots

[@Adeon55]

Completely agree. If you want to run the HMG with a different backpack, then the Sickle could pair perfectly with the HMG's limited ammo. But with supplies, you can go wild with whatever primary of your choosing (whereas the Sickle will see little to no benefit from it).

[@lvlrrx]

Machine guns in this game should be backpack with belt fed with 600-700 rounds with heat mechanic because tbh its main draw back is its bad animation reload time and its questionable medium armor penetration, no more reloads just backpack containing bullets until depletion i would gladly take the backpack slot if i can fire democracy-filled bullets nonstop hahahaha

[@agps4418]

if you're already bringing supply pack, then breaker might be better than sickle against bugs, because you would want to clear a swarm of hunters fast, and they *will* be in close range

It needs one of the following to contend with your other options: -larger clip -heavy armor penetration -more reserves -quicker reload

[@accywacky2699]

Yeah, for a 'heavy' machinegun the only thing that Feels heavy about it is the recoil and the reload time. . . Like okay it hits hard supposedly? What good is that when you run out of ammo too fast to kill much and reloading is too time consuming to really be viable unless you can disengage first. Deff a weapon you need someone to cover you while you use it and it doesnt feel powerful enough to be worth that.

[@accywacky2699]

@jonhack2585 Fair enough, though I'd be willing to bet you still wish there was at least a Little more ammo in the drum. No?

[@Creshex8]

How about being able to move while reloading, like so many other support weapons?

[@accywacky2699]

@@Creshex8 Well the problem with that is that a big difference between the light and regular machine gun is that the light one you can move while reloading... so having you able to move while reloading the Heavy makes no sense.

[@Creshex8]

@@accywacky2699 There is no reason why it cannot make sense. You can reload the AMR while moving. You have to stand still to reload the auto cannon, but it reloads half a clip extremely fast. If you want to keep the HMG at having the slowest reload speed of nearly all the weapons, why not get rid of the need to stay still? It only reloads half the amount of the MG, so why would it not have a reason to have a more nimble reload? As it stands, you can easily spend about as much time reloading the HMG as you can firing it, and the reloading makes doing so a very dangerous endeavor in a hot firefight.

[@saltysoda93]

i generally run stalwart, gas strike, and the plasma shotty. other stratagems change depending on the mission. i use my stalwart as my main gun and the plasma shotty for armored targets. works ok so far. not what i'd call meta, but it works enough for me to not bother with the HMG. and i like other commenter's ideas about it being fed from a backpack. 600 rounds and you chuck it. maybe even 800 rounds with a 5 minute cool-down

@@whysoseeryus3053 I don't have any issues taking out brood commanders. I'm just talking about the weapon from a viability standpoint. 1/4 a mag for one brood commander with very limited ammunition doesn't make this weapon very viable imo. It's also not the easiest weapon to control, so trying to hit all of your shots where you want is also unreliable.

[@zanaduz2018]

The HMG is controllable, so long as you aren't expecting it to be a run-and-gun kind of weapon. I do recommend that if you plan on using the HMG, bring an armor with the Fortified or Engineer perks (both of which provide a 50% recoil reduction while crouched or prone, which is what you should be doing when you're firing this gun). You should also set it to 450RPM as your default rate of fire, as it helps with both the ammo expenditure and the recoil. At 450RPM, you can easily fire single shots by tap-firing. Only bump up the fire rate when you need it in close-engagements. 1200RPM is basically only really useful for dumpstering Chargers by suckering them into charging at you only to mag dump into their backside once they miss the charge. Final point though is that the sight is currently still bugged - the actual stream of fire is lower than the red dot in the sight, so you have to aim over where you intend to actually hit (experience is the red dot is about a dot's width above the actual point where the bullets will hit).

[@flusteredweasel7483]

Good way to make it viable. Overall the thing just needs a buff. Not a huge one, but one of its downsides in order to keep it balanced needs to not exist. Ammo, reload, handling, something needs to give. I would consider using it IF they would give it a cooldown time that is maybe 2 minutes

I like it but I agree with everyone saying it needs an ammo buff. A 100 round mag minimum would make it much better then all you’d need a supply tac-pack

[@Creshex8]

100 rounds wouldn’t be enough of a buff. Long reload time is a problem, but it’s made even worse due to the need to remain stationary while reloading. This makes reloading very dangerous in hot situations. We would also need more magazine too. Whenever I tried to run this gun, I absolutely had to carry a support pack, or I’d run out of ammo too quickly.

[@Creshex8]

I wanted to make the HMG my main, but it’s just terrible in too many areas. The recoil makes this weapon viable only at close ranges. The low magazine capacity mixed with high reload time takes you out of the action for far too long. It’s even worse than other guns, because you have to stay still while you reload, making reloading even more dangerous. After trying out the laser cannon, I could not think of one thing the HMG did better than other support weapons. I will be looking forward to main’ing this gun once they fix some of these issues.

Only things I’d say it needs is a better sight and reticle so you don’t have to use 1st person. like I understand the AMR but even then that gun should have a reticle too… every gun has a reticle besides AMR and this one… why? Other than that I feel this gun is perfectly balanced. The low mag size and heavy recoil is balanced by the dmg which is fine. I’m cool with dropping devs with 4-5 body shots. I’m cool with a gun that can spray at hulks and down them. Yeah ur hitting head shots but not having to completely stop and line it up is nice when you have 20 other things trying to kill you. I do feel the 10 shots to a strider is goofy given everything else goes down faster and in my experience you light em up and the operator just hops off it and then you have to pop him… weird imo… but all in all the gun is great… JUST GIVE US A DAMN RETICLE!!

Heavy Machine gun is F-tier imo. Extreme recoil. AWFUL magazine capacity. Fucking thing looks like it should (and it should) hold more like 200 to 400 rounds. WHY DOES IT ONLY HOLD 75 ROUNDS???????????????? Only has 2 mags. AWFUL. Makes you REQUIRE the ammo pack or else you're out of ammo in but a minute or 2. Should hold 4 to 7 mags due to its ammo consumption. You'll barely manage ammo in single player, and in multiplayer, where you can only grab one resupply for your supply backpack usually.... no. You'll burn through all your ammo. Slow, stationary reload that makes 0 sense considering the pitiful mag size. An animation you'll be stuck doing more than fighting... No 3rd person crosshairs.

[@Elthenar]

The HMG is a very weak weapon. It has major ammo issues, spending a second strategem on the supply pack is near mandatory. It also has major issues with very poor sights. It has no targeting reticule in 3rd person and when you aim down the sights, the muzzle flash makes it had to see and keep rounds on target. This is compounded by how inaccurate it is and how much recoil it has. Even with that armor, it's very hard to manage. (fun fact, the recoil assistance on that armor always works, whether you are standing or now) The basic, free machine gun is a good weapon and does most of what this does with dramatically fewer drawbacks. The only thing the basic machine gun can't do that this does is penetrate the face plate on hulks and the vents on tanks cannons. The base machine guns eats those bile spewers, hive guard and medium bots up too. I strongly reccomend to any new players to avoid this unless it gets a balance pass. At least until you get a lot more of the key strategems.

For all people saying it's low tier and all these problems think of it in a more realistic terms. It has bad handling, low ammo and only two magazines because it is high caliber bullets.

It’s ok that you suck with it bro , doesn’t mean what you’re saying is 100% a fact , it has its flaws but i could name many situations that gun has saved my life

[@generalrendar7290]

Use it like a battle rifle, prioritize mediums with it, have your primary clear enemies away to buy you a reload. It will do work.

What I would do to it is reduce the recoil a bit and make it heavy armor pen

Yawn. Stop using the laser guard dog. Everyone and their grandmother uses it. Overpowered as hell. So is the shield backpack. So is the quasar. So is the EATs. So is the sickle.

Definitely do not pair a mortar with a gun that requires you to play up close
