The Best Helldivers 2 Loadout ever

[@TheSilentTrain]

Counter argument for why the medic armor is not the best armor in the game. Sure it gives you more stims and gives you a higher invuln window, but alot of the times that i see people running the medic armor, it falls down to being a crutch that enables bad habits, like stimming when you dont need to and also, as you get more skilled in the game and can get to the point where you are avoiding damage, the medic armor loses its only purpose. Other armors like Engineering kit and the new Siege ready, have more practical utility and as your skill in the game increases, they give a benefit that doesnt fade away. Engineering kit, not only with its recoil reduction that makes weapons like the HMG or the reprimand perform on a significantly better level, gives 2 extra grenades, which in the case for thermites and impact nades, is amazing always, especially considering grenades will in most cases be your most finite resource. Siege ready outright increases your magazine capacity to every weapon you are using that has mags, even support weapons where the ammo isnt tied to a backpack, and it helps you reload faster, with some weapons being more noticeable than others, and having these extra mags, like on the stalwart/LMG or the counter sniper, gives you more liberty to either become a bullet hose or use weapons that are typically known for poor ammo efficacy but do insane damage wise

i acculy completly agree. I really like using the supply pack and the better stim booster to get a simmular effect (albeit worse). mainly because I run with randoms/resues so I like to leave the supply pods to them. also wow I would have thought this channel would have been big the vid was great

[@saintwaffles]

Thank you! I'm trying to get there! Hopefully some day I'll be a real Helldivers creator lol

[@lg6205]

Damn I disagree with so much of this. Nice effort though, kind of a good sign for the game that there is no definitive “meta”

[@saintwaffles]

It's certainly no meta, the goal was to make something that worked in ever map in every way, if you customize your build it will always be better than this

[@JohnSmith-sv4om]

I run exclusively super helldive and I gotta say the senator pistol, works on everything, if you fight bots or bugs or illuminate the scorcher will carry the day, and switch up between the shield pack and rovers pending on the enemy and last but not least the main weapon varies, quazar is still king against bots and bugs, Tesla rifle is next level against illuminate 💯 bring the 500kg and the 380 barrage, I've played since the first week and this load out is what I rock and I might die a total on twice at most during the most hard core helldives, oh and for armor bring the one that protects you from fatal damage, it will save you most of the time and you'll notice you die a lot less. Oh and the thermite grenade, always bring it, it kills everything 💯

[@Ricardo00268]

Solid Choices. I will try this build later on. Love the Medic armors too, i use the light version. Gives me a great mobility across tbe map. But with the jetpack a can see myself wearing the Heavy version.

I like that you went into a bit more detail than just clickbait literally every other KZbinr does. You set clearer definitions than they, but I think it would also be helpful to back up your points if you uploaded full missions with them. For example, I have a slightly different criteria to yours which is a bit more extreme, because I find that more fun and the best for me is the most competitive. What exactly do I mean by best and competitive? For me, the "best" builds must be able to solo, stimless, no deaths, kill as many as possible on the highest levels. Basically a one man army. This tests you the most without abusing stims for "unlimited health, fix broken bones & cheat stamina" to cover up your weaknesses. That way, you truly see if your build is the best. (Plus, it feels more realistic which I like.) Otherwise, it's like saying you're the best boxer in the world, but you can instantly fully health any damage and stamina you take. It's as if Goku had unlimited sensu beans in every fight, that would never prove he's the best. If you like a more arcade best build that's fine, but I prefer a little more believable best build. Also, I choose solo for a reason. If you have to use more than one life per mission, why not send them all at the same time? That just defeats the point of finding the best "individual" build. The best builds show off your skill and your loadout without unreasonable crutches. Note: This doesn't cover team builds at all, because there are too many variables to account for. but the best build with the definition I choose could easily be argued for the best carry build no matter the team you're in. If you're curious to know what I think the best builds are under the definition explained above, feel free to check out my unedited gameplay footage. (I've been doing it for more than half a year with 19 videos uploaded so far.)

[@saintwaffles]

I'm so sorry I didn't see this. It didn't tell me you commented! I appreciate everything you wrote! I'm gonna go check out your builds now!

[@Monster-519]

Instead of the machine gun I recommend the stalwart.

[@saintwaffles]

I much prefer the stalwart, but I needed the machine guns umph for a few things like tripods and devastators to really make this build work any and everywhere

[@elGala391]

It’s one of those loadout…. Hey guys we got 10 min left let go ahead and destroy that base real quick

[@POWER_WAFFLE]

I can't do it! I would have easily been able to get a list for just Bots and Bugs, but those shields on the Illuminate Harvesters and UFO objectives need a different loadout for me that isn't compatible with the other factions.

[@saintwaffles]

Oh 100 percent every faction needs their own load out and that will change with your team. I just wanted to see if I could make a loadout that did it all, and this one surprisingly does!

[@arroyo5802]

for the illuminates when im playing solo or with randoms i bring the stalwart, set maximum RPM and it deletes the shield easily. With the stalwart you can actually kill the harvesters by shooting at the joints, but itll be quicker if you throw an airstrike or a teammate uses an AT weapon. When playing with friends you can talk out who brings out each thing and you should be good. Hope this helps

[@Cra8ty]

The crossbow seems awesome but I am still level 34 and haven't unlocked everything. When/where do you get that? Also I haven't unlocked many secondary weapons too 😅.

[@saintwaffles]

Crossbow is from the democratic detonation warbond!

[@mr.dandapanda9954]

I unlocked the crossbow like 3 days ago and it's absolutely awesome I like it with ballistic shield

[@Joker-ik1sp]
