If each bug breach call summons a Charger and a Bile Titan that means you'll have 2 Chargers and 2 Bile Titans on two bug breach signals I think it depends on the mission/planet too. I think this Helldive run would have gone very differently had he faced Bile Spewers.

he literally explained why. He doesn't let the reinforcement for bug breaches get called off. "It's a good thing thise reinforcements didn't go off or that would've been very bad". Direct qoute 1:40 in the video. He literally explains why.
@nixiedreamstar5 ай бұрын
One of the biggest mistake of most helldivers is just shooting everything they see. If you keep aggroing the map you have more chances for more bug breaches. Moreover the developers said that using stratagems actually pings the map with sounds and brings patrols towards your location. So the more you fight the more fight you bring back to you.
@TwistedFox425 ай бұрын
@@dankbonkripper2845 I think your timing is off. The breach at 1:40 does spawn a titan and he doesn't say that. However, his other breaches do not spawn titans. At one point, he had 3 breaches active. Still no titans. That is a massive difference from how my, and assumedly sermegas, bug breaches behave.

I used to love the flamethrower and it’s still a lot of fun, but once you master the arc thrower… you can’t go back. It one shots hunters, one shots warriors, two shots hive guards, two shots the mini chargers (forgot the name). Admittedly it’s not the best against the other bugs like the stalker, but I just use the punisher for those because the knock back from the shots interrupts the stalker so they’re like a deer in headlights, and the chargers it takes 6 shots to the head from the arc thrower so if you shoot then 3 times while they charge them three times after they’re dead in like 10-15 seconds. I think it does some damage to bile titans but I wouldn’t recommend using just the arc thrower against it. But yeah it’s very helpful and fun to use

22:05 is spot on. I always say that dealing with a single breach isnt that hard if you have some help or group up and kill it and that you then have way less to deal with later on. If you run off after 2 titans spawn and do the main obj which spawns another 2 titans and then leave that and trigger another breach at a secondary for another 2 titans you now have like 6 titans on the map which is now actually hard to deal with but if you just fought them when they spawned it wouldnt have been that bad.

About the “less bugs in your games” I can understand the comments as even as low as difficulty 4, as soon as I clear a patrol even with no breach, a second patrol pops up and shows up in seconds. I always thought it was due to using stratagems to clear the patrols (use strafing run a lot solo) but seeing you use clusters and still getting a moment to breathe before another patrol shows up nixes that theory. I believe it is the armor. If you aren’t wearing light armor, you never get a moment’s peace.

Nice learned a lot, thank you. In return, I would like to share something u missed. Since this game has no ballistic system and mechanical is shallow as a puddle, u can destroy spore spewers even with breaker shotgun from other side of the map, yeah takes 2-3 clips but it's safe and best done near point of interest that u found tone of spare ammo etc. Look around see spore spewer far in the distance = unload and done. This game is wide as an ocean and shallow as a puddle ;) also about bug breaches closing them and the bugs buildup... whatever comes out the breach when u run away and they loose aggro they walk back to where breach was and DESPAWN so no need to clear swarms that came out the breaches just run. Proof is ez take jump pack and 200x zoom antimaterial rifle, ticckle patrol, get breach, run breakblike of sight jetpack to nice rock, lie down and zoom in 200x and watch their behavior.
