Only Laser Build - Super Helldive vs Bots

Build: Finally able to use a full laser build. Guard dog rover would complete it but not very good choice for bots.
Primary- LAS- Scythe
Secondary- Dagger
Throwable- Stun Grenades
Stratagems - Supply Pack, Laser Cannon support weapon, Orbital Laser, 500kg

Im jumping between the hmg and las cannon the hmg does way more damage and can strip charger leg armor much faster but the consistancy of the las cannon with 0 recoil has torn me

I ran both on my live yesterday! Testing builds against bugs, pop the emg for heavy, elites plus thermite grenades. Full lasers for all else and to finish off elites. Works well!

Honestly, since joining the imperium, my enthusiasm for super earth has wained a lot even after the buff update. But I do have to say the scythe and dagger are awesome now.

@@minty257 for me it's a mixed bag, I play both and for different reasons. The story was a bit short and the pve while fun arent engaging enough for me to grind for higher difficulties tiers. However, with friends PvE is very fun. PvP has actually been my favorite part of SM2 and what draws me in the most. But PvE wise Helldivers loop is more fun for me

@@SagePent395 Yeah, that's understandable, but Saber does have a lot planned for SM2 in terms of pve and pvp, but I hope we also get some story dlc too.

@@minty257 yes! Excited for those and they all free. My point I will be playing both on this channel long term :)

@@SagePent395 nice, looking forward to it.

Bots have been super frustrating with the ragdolls and near instant death at times. Its definitely a steep learning curve from the bugs. Once you get their attack patterns and rely on the mini-map more it becomes super easy!

[@SagePent395]

@@cooldogdude2225 definitely! I've always preferred bots even with their chaotic nature. Feels more like war than just hordes of bugs which is more like horror survival. And when you beat em even more satisfying :)

@@SagePent395 I stopped running bugs. Yes they are a challenge but truly you can just run away from them for the most part. Bugs can’t shoot back at ya. It feels like a more genuine war like experience adapting to your enemies and having them having a fighting chance against you.

@@cooldogdude2225 i do bugs like 10-20% of the time. Just went back to bots in my new video today 🫡
