The Heavy Bolter's Health Regen is INSANE on Lethal Difficulty - Solo Lethal l Space Marine 2

[@ZephyrusAsmodeus]

Straben is the best, perfect blend of robotic and human, lethal, precise, and most important, loyal. Used him as my main from the beginning, for the tides of death that break upon his shield and shot, will continue to be so for that and his personality. A run well done.

I think a love more the gameplay with the melta! Quickly handling minoris hords and satisfying af at close range to blast everything away

[@petercook438]

People who say the heavy bolter is bad have no clue what they’re talking about. It’s one of the best guns in the game and is extremely fun to use. I guess not being so overpowered that the game is trivialized is what people count as bad.

[@hknova683]

I love the heavy bolter but it’s meh at best the moment your operation decides to spawn melee warriors and instead of mainly range and its a joke compared to the heavy plasma incinerator

[@petercook438]

Almost everything in the game is meh at best compared to the heavy plasma incinerator. That weapon along with the grenade launcher and multi melta are all in a tier of their own. They all simply make the game easy. I’d be insane to argue that the heavy bolter is better than the heavy plasma, but it’s still very good. It cuts through swarms very well and kills majoris enemies very quickly. Sure melee warriors can block your shots but if your teammates are distracting them than that’s not an issue. Even if you’re alone with a group of them you can still use it effectively when they drop their guard to attack. Because you can parry out of heavy stance, you can sneak in quick bursts of headshots while fighting in melee, allowing you to dispose of warriors very quickly up close. And the cherry on top is that neurothropes and zoanthropes are hard countered by the heavy bolter. Those enemies can be pretty tough to hit with the heavy plasma, but the bolter just shreds them to pieces with little issue.

[@hknova683]

@@petercook438 hopefully we get the long awaited bolter buff with this week balance patch. It isn’t just the heavy bolter that is suffering but all bolter in general are underpowered. Having no stagger and needing to put between 30 to 40 rounds in the head of a majoris to execute them is ridiculous and the ammo economy isn’t great either but that’s directly linked to their lack of damage

[@petercook438]

I agree that bolter weapons in general need some love apart from a couple of exceptions. But I haven’t had much issue with ammo on the heavy bolter even on lethal. If the heavy bolter were to be buffed, I hope it would be very minor. I just don’t want it and the other bolter weapons to be made as game breaking as the meltas and all the other busted weapons. For me personally, I don’t enjoy having a game be trivialized so much do to poor balancing rather than my own skill. Heavy bolt rifle and the auto bolt rifle do desperately need some buffs though. Those things suck.

[@FirstTourGuardsman]

If I'm solo, I think I want a heavy bolter more than melta to be honest. Melta makes double sword warrior/lichtor encounters far easier, but also puts you in long distance doom scenarios the heavy bolter can clean up while keeping you alive. Heavy plasma still king though

[@survivalevvariussteppin]

Just tried with Raven Guard bro and we got to end and almost got em 25% health left on Titan and we survived multiple 3 raveners at once, Lethal is so tough especially when you have a raged Majoris and does double call reinforcements and when your teammates are stuck fighting and it’s far from us and in a corner around another corner can’t interrupt em in time and they have a lot of damage but wicked fun though can’t wait to get my first lethal done

[@jj-vp2cj]

And i bet, despite losing you still enjoy the game, my brother and i did lose a few and still wanted to keep trying

[@DB-ku7vu]

My buddies and I cleared mission 6 on our second try, it’s probably the easiest one. Took the all melta party, which excels on that map due to the short sight lines for most of the arenas.

Spawns are random also playing solo might tone down the hordes just to make it actually manageable, I haven’t played with bots a lot in harder difficulties but I assume they can’t be as deadly as experienced and geared players

[@DrDamagePHD]

What is your reasoning for using the 15% duration on iron halo vs the 20% durability?

[@FirstTourGuardsman]

I find that usually my shield doesn't actually wind up breaking in the first place and it's better for stopping smaller chip damage. I still swap them out every now and then since I don't think either option is strictly better in my experience.

[@DrDamagePHD]

@@FirstTourGuardsman that is fairly reasonable thinking. However, if you turn off the halo if it’s not taking enough damage to deactivate, it has a lower cooldown on the next activation. I just take the 20% durability, if it takes full damage cool but I turn it off to reduce the cooldown if it’s not going to be broken. 20% durability is definately the play, imo.

[@FirstTourGuardsman]

@@DrDamagePHD interesting, I'll try that

[@unusualbydefault]

now imagine having an actual human tactical with you: 300%+ damage on everything and instakill on majoris/extremis auspex scan. you basically delete everything ^^

[@anaknangfilipina5846]

FINALLY! The Heavy is actually shooting. You don’t know how sad it is that you have to melee when you’re using the Plasma since you had to save ammo.

[@swamp-puppy14]

I pair heavy plasma with the bolt pistol for ammo management. Use heavy plasma for high-priority majoris threats and very large blobs of minoris, bolt pistol for smaller isolated minors or low-threat majoris (e.g. the entire squad is taking on only 2 lone warriors). Don't have ammo issues this way and never have to melee Edit: you do need to make use of your parries though, so in that case you are meleeing. But as far as raw meleeing goes, shouldn't have to be doing that

[@RoyHobbs-f4v]

​@anaknangfilipina5846 ... you are robbing yourself of one of the best-parts of his kit. His "strike/parry into stomp" is game-changing and essential in keeping the Heavy both frenetic and very dynamic. With "charged-plasma" and "halo" strategically mixed-in... this permits for a "connect-the-dots" type-of-playstyle between elites that no-other class has. The Heavy can become absolutely unstoppable.

[@anaknangfilipina5846]

@@RoyHobbs-f4v Oh I’m not denying that their strategy is excellent. My heart just feels weird seeing the long range guy go to melee much of the time. It’s like seeing the Assault and Bulwark pistoling a huge amount of time ya know?

Is it me, is the cranifex ai acting dumb lately? Because I came across one that got stuck on a pole and refuse to move. And the cranifex at the beginning of the video just stood there till its was at a quarter of its health. Have anybody noticed this or is it just my imagination?

[@Breakingfasst88]

It's really dumb when it spawns in on a map with ANY elevation. I got a Carnifex that spawned in the Generator area of this map with the infested power cores. It spawned on the bottom of the power core on the right with the stiars, it could not climb it and kept shooting it's thorns instead.

[@garrett8922]

Why is this guy getting 1/4 the enemies and Majoris I get at Average? This is some BS. By the first ammo dump im battered and out of primary ammo and low on secondary.

[@Nemetournepasledos]

Because RNG is queen in this world, and some other sweatlords have pretty chill games while other ppl must fight 12 warriors per waves.. Some will then claim that the game is WAY too easy, while some will say that it's too random to keep the entertainment at its peak, which is totally true.

[@MuggsisGune]

He also prioritizes majors that are summoning waves. If you're frequently getting overwhelmed, that's usually why. You have to interrupt or kill them, or you'll spend the entire mission fighting off massive waves.

[@schubidu22]

I like heavy bolter and have it on relic tier. But i especially struggle against melee majoris enemies. I just can't dish out damage with my main gun when i get swarmed. And they even block your shots when they charge you. Therefore i tried out plasma gun and find it far more superior. You can kite and stagger constantly. But choke points with big waves of minoris makes heavy bolter shine for sure.

[@leonidemelin1131]

an EXTREMELY lucky run judging by amount of mistakes. to be more specific - the amount of horde spawns he get's is near absolute minimum, never in all my many runs of solo lethal i seen so few enemies. even after difficulty nerfs heavy with bolter remain one of the weakest for solo play.

I mean, just earlier... running Ballistic Engine on average, 1 carnifex, 3 zonathrope pairs, 1 neurothrope.... and at least 2 lictors. Did the devs really botch things that badly with the last update? 😮

Actually i find the difficulty fun

[@michaellewandowski7596]

​. I like a challenge too.... and having harder modes for that. But I also appreciate easier modes for times when I want to kick back. I think Saber has done pretty good overall... but I do think they borked the difficultly scaling with 4.0. And I'll be honest.... am I good enough for "lethal"? I dunno. I only play like one operation a day and am not leveled up. But damn do I love this game, and look forward to lethal someday

[@bleucaesar]

@michaellewandowski7596 I've done all operations on lethal and i had to run them multiple times because of how hard they were and they were lots of fun and challenging. And yesterday they nerfed everything and now it is easy again:(

[@wilhelmjohnson7232]

Well, after watching it closely, I can say that I absolutely do not trust its honest passage. It has minimum macros installed, because: - it does not have a single perk to reduce weapon recoil, but there is absolutely no recoil, as you can see; - the reflection of the bolter attack is unnaturally fast and reflects better than the power glove. At the same time, he is very bad at dodging. This is only the most obvious. Whether to believe it or not, think for yourself.

[@Guy-b5l]

The cope, he's using the accuracy variant and if you think he's bad at dodging you must not know much about him. He gaps you and every other player in this game, he's just the best operations player.

[@wilhelmjohnson7232]

@@Guy-b5l Don't worry, I know what I'm talking about. And you apparently not. Because you have no idea that a bolter with accuracy does not provide such recoil reduction, and how stats and perks work. Apparently you haven't even played this game. And if you don't see how he loses dodges, then...

[@Guy-b5l]

​@@wilhelmjohnson7232 The cope is incredible you can literally use the exact same perk setup and see for yourself. Watch his vanguard if you think he has "Bad dodging" imagine harping on heavy dodges in ONE video of his. Your cope is hilarious when there is literally nobody you will find with better gameplay than him online and he has nearly every lethal record run for a good reason because he's just the best. His gameplay is so top that you're literally in disbelief, he's just better than you and that clearly upsets you. Upload YOUR gameplay so we can all see how bad you are. Also heavy bolter RECOIL? There is negligible recoil on a heavy bolter to begin with and the accuracy variant does have LESS RECOIL which you would know if you even compared the weapons for 5 seconds, "Don't worry I know what I'm talking about" Clearly not because you couldn't even be bothered to check. How can you be so confidently incorrect, just take your heavy bolters in a private game and check for yourself that accuracy affects both spread and recoil it's not up for debate. The delusion is incredible, I can guarantee you're worse than me at this game let alone this guy. Bad players are always going to call cheats when they see something far out of their skill level, how about you try to learn something instead or you'll just be stuck at your garbage tier forever.
