Nice video!! What you recommend for primary weapon? Also what armor you use when you using recoilless ?

[@thiccfila]

I'm still messing around with the primaries, crossbow seems great, plasma punisher is good against bots as well.

[@sgnt117]

RR doing RR things is pretty great. This patch really did bring variety to my loadouts. Not feeling terrible about picking a specific weapon because you could’ve picked another

[@Joemama-xw2wy]

This is like the first time in HD2 where I actually had too many options to pick from and struggled to narrow down a loadout each mission lol. Prepatch, I was easily going OPS, Gas strike, 380 barrage and auto cannon.

[@sgnt117]

@@Joemama-xw2wy Exactly lol I had two main loadouts. One for bugs and one for bots. The randomizer was the only time I experimented with other weapons. Just to add some extra torture

[@gonozal8_962]

the two playstyles that kept me in the game were eruptor closing bug nests in solo and oneshotting medium bugs and stalkers, after that became impossible, team reloaded recoilless rifle (doesn’t matter if I‘m gunner or loader, I take whatever position is better for the success of the mission), and now both are available again and buffed (as in chargers finally don’t survive with one hp anymore and BTs take damage consistently, also taking down shrieker nests and spore spewers from beyond the 400m max range of the Spear with recoilless now consumes less ammo. ecstatic, haven’t been able to play yet, but it will be orgasmic as you said

[@LambentV]

How I feel when my mate helps me unload with the autocannon

[@devist8er117]

I have used the recoiles rifle 90% of the time since day one just because of how cool it is. I am so happy this thing finally gets its time to really shine.

[@LacunaZT]

Now imagine if they reworked the team reload where you don't need to give your buddy the backpack, that would be orgasmic.

[@Botar48]

I kinda get they did it for balance but realistically it makes no sense you need to wear the bag to reload someone else. Like logically it would take same time loading your own gun or someone else's gun if you are reaching your own back. Instead of awkwardly reaching to your own back you would just reach into your buddy's back so that it is faster. It just makes sense.

[@gonozal8_962]

@@Botar48the "sense" are a), irl eg grenade launchers, the gun and ammo are carried by different people, and B) you don’t have to reach across the barrel where the backblast happens. the true way to play it, though, is with supply pack, which increases your ammo from 6 to 18 shots, and i. that case, with 2 backpacks needed anyways, it doesn’t matter as much

[@punish01]

@@Botar48 Gunner never carries his ammo because he is already carrying a heavy weapon system. Carrying ammo for gunner is a job of Ammo bearer. When it comes to At weapons, ammo bearer also loads a weapon system, machine gunnner also has an ammo bearer but reloads his weapon on his own.

[@nateb7804]

How about being able to use the sidearm while reloading a buddy?

[@epsilon1372]

Now I feel we are properly equipped especially for bugs to deal with stronger enemies. They put themselves in a spot that even if the enemies are now slightly undertuned, they can just make tiny adjustments as they see fit which allow our weapons to still feel strong. Very incredible update and I hope they keep this up

[@GibMoarRam]

Even a precision strike to the hull doesn't kill a Barrager tank. I experienced this first hand on an eradication mission, and it decided to point blank me after I hit it.

[@shaunbrender]

I've always loved the Recoilless Rifle. I remember running around as a squad of 4, split into two teams. One team would use Flamethrowers and clear out the horde while the other used the Recoilless and would take out bigger enemies. The shenanigans of team play with your friends are what made this game so much fun to play for me.

[@ThePartisan13]

Does it need peak physique to use to be viable like the autocannon?

[@grimroseslight635]

Does anyone else notice that they added more audio to the automatons? I love it

dude, arc thrower is so fun again, i can actually play a dedicated support loadout by stun locking everything for recoiless users, its so soooo fun also hi thicc hi hiiiii :3

[@Deadsnake989]

I've been doing the same thing. Stun lock chargers and W key at them until I'm close enough to stick a thermite. Been running eagle napalm, gas strike, supply pack, and arc thrower. Me and 1 friend go off on one side of the map, and our 2 other friends go the other way. Since Arc Thrower has infinite ammo, my supply pack is to give my ally ammo and stims, so the other team can hog all the resupplies they need.

[@NewYear7878]

As a RR user, I approuve this message.

[@Jeff-cn9up]

Arrowhead does have continual issues with hitboxes. Remember the bad hitboxes on the stripped side armor of chargers and titans? They looked wide open but shots deflected off invisible armor.

[@Shacklez]

you actually got extra trolled by arrowhead, because shooting at the exposed flesh of a charger/titan actually did dmg it, it just showed a ricochet notification anyway because it was bugged.

[@JuiceJive]

They need to rework buddy reloads so that the gunner can carry his own pack and teammates can hook onto him to reload him.

[@murrrrrh]

As someone who’s used the recoilless rifle extensively for months the new buff makes an already great weapon probably the best support in the game against the bots. Other than the fact that it can destroy fabricators (which kinda lets it take the niche that the spear and commando had previously filled) it feels really really good. It’s awesome to see it performing like it always should have.

[@steeljawX]

I feel like Arrowhead has definitely flung the pendulum really far in the other direction with these enemy nerfs and weapon buffs, however it's a much easier side to work off of than the side they were on. They're getting a lot of baseline data for what is and isn't popular, what kind of "meta" strategies are being used (by meta I mean outside the normal application the weapons were probably intended to be used for,) and what to kind of go for instead of a vague, "That was a bug and it wasn't working as we intended." Like for the first time since I got the thing, I can actually use the Breaker Spray&Pray. It's no longer Spray&Pray as in you spray your pellets and pray for at least a scavenger to die. It's actually more of a spray into the crowd and pray you've got backup for the heavies that don't care you peppering them with the Breaker S&P. Before this update, that was the most useless weapon in the entire game. More useless than the purifier, scythe, or lib concussive. Those things could actually eventually kill things like warriors with enough shots. The Breaker S&P would at best maim a scavenger and piss off a hunter.

[@eduardoarruda6513]

how do u have kitten ears on your helmet? is that new or is it a mod?

[@jatindahiya2504]

Man that team reload on the rr and mowing down those dropships was fire

[@Go.el_Hadam]

Loadout recommendation: Recoiless, Orbital Napalm, orbital gaitling, orbital gas, crossbow, laser pistol, thermite. Try on bugs but works for bots too.

[@nateb7804]

Laser pistol cooks now! I love using it with the crossbow

[@WarLord312]

I’ve always been a Recoilless guy and I love now that I can virtually take out anything in one well placed shot. I rock peak physique and one of the most satisfying feelings is when a BT is about to crush or spit on one of my teammates, or a charger is about to run them down and I pop them to save my teammates. I may not be able to clear hordes of chaff, or take down large amounts of medium enemies, but that’s what my teammates are for. My job is to make sure that that Tank that’s about to come out of that breach never existed (Also you can one shot drop ships to the body now?! Boutta take some democracy to those tin heads)

[@dorfhorst99]

"Touch me, touch me!" "Wrong stream, nonono" xD

[@Desiderium]

So shoot the body of the dropship instead of the thruster and it kills the goons inside?

[@gonozal8_962]

[@claudeb3673]

Recoiless is so op now. The fact you can delete fabricators from any angle, erase tanks, hulks and cannon tower... wow

@thiccfila Cann you please do a simple video analysis how the 50 Armor suit compares to the 200 armor suit versus bug Hunters & Warriors/Alpha Warriors? Right now it feels that helldivers die incredibly quickly regardless of how much armor we have. Thank you!

[@mangasaint]

The glowing red eye area of the tower cannons have higher armor rating, saw that one v-tuber helldiver showing it in action as the AMR ricochets off of it. The AR is probably a 5 so the damage was reduced. Aim for the actual cannon which is AR 4 for full damage.

[@starman2995]

At this point, the RR is just a better spear in every way. The reason I liked the spear before is because if I could play around the lock-on and aim for weak points, it could do things no other weapon could do (one shotting bile titans and factory striders). Now, the RR does everything it can do but better because you have more ammo and don't have to fight the lock-on. TLDR: RR basically has all the same breakpoints as the spear, which makes it extremely obsolete due to its other downsides.

[@T2rx6]

I just shot an impaler head (tentacles down) 3 times with the RR and it survived, I shit you not.

[@gonozal8_962]

it has high health low durability iirc, so weapons with more damage are better. try flame weapons, eagle strafe, OPS or 500kg for those (I always use the OPS/500kg for crowd control anyways except when I don’t have the AT launcher, eg I respawned and aren’t close enough to buddy reload the other RR gunner or I haven’t collected my dead body items yet)

[@derptomistic]

I used to struggle with command bunkers until I learned that you can just shoot the turrets with a recoilless and walk up to it without worrying about being turned into mush Need to bring a good primary though, or you're going to struggle to deal with devastators and striders since you only have 8 rounds and that just seems like a waste Also berserkers and jetpackers become the bane of my existence because every time I try to reload there is always one rapidly approaching my location

[@JasonT3hMagnicifent]

I might have gotten lucky, but I shot an impaler on the sides in the reddish meaty gap that opens while it was walking and it dropped in one go. I think I was using the recoilless but might have been the queso (sorry it was 3AM and I needed to be asleep)

[@ThePartisan13]

Does the RR feel like the autocannon? Like is it big and hard to turn to the point I need peak physique?

[@gengius3617]

Even before patch Impaller can't be killed by 500kg, but Titan - can be. So... MB Impaller IS bugged since that time?

[@i2cube]

What is the best primary to pair RR with (for bugs and for bots)?

[@ooooooooofffffffff3225]

@@SarcasticBroth that’s a very niche and poor reason to take the spear.

You save Thermites for the big ones (Tanks on bots, Biles and tentacles on bugs). 2) Crossbow now does so much damage that you can clear groups easily and take out fabs and bug holes. 3) AMR covers enemies that Crossbow struggles with (Hulks and Hive guard/Commanders) 4) Laser pistol for small enemies that run up on ya when you need to reload. It's beautiful, I have the lowest amount of shots and yet closest to the most kills each match. This combo is just ruthless. All joking aside, give this build a try, see how it works for ya!
