I'm gonna cover a bit less meta heavy builds and try out and experiment some more off-meta loadouts. Games will still often times still be played aggressively but I'm checking out of trying to go for PB kills. It gets to a point where it's no longer about skill and is more about lucky rng runs full of hunters and pouncers but no bile titans which is subsequently boring to watch. I'm pretty sure you guys don't wanna see me running around the extraction point like a d*ckhead slowly grinding down bugs 😂 Any cool off-meta loadouts you guys wanna see tested and possibly even reviewed? Let me know! P.s.: ill still cover meta builds as they come P.s.2: if you wanna get 2,000 kills for w.e reason here's some tips; Play a planet that's clear. Play bug hatch missions Ideally a liberation campaign where there's no modifiers Pouncer planet Clear eggs quick, rush to extraction point to pump up patrol rate, then kill bugs and hope for the perfect no bile titans rng. Bam, 2k+ kills. Good luck!

[@TimmyMicBobbins]

Thanks for the tips as always. But yes less Meta builds sounds divine ty ty

[@roiledred]

I personally, and I feel a lot of others, like a bit of both. Skillful plays and challenges, and new off-meta builds or strats. As long as the concept of the video is unique to you like your own kill records or your build ideas, or at least your own take on existing build ideas and stuff like that. Both of which you do a great job of.

[@duedman-alleswasknallt5775]

I think telling everyone that if someone beats you that is down to him having more luck is not very sportsmanlike. I did watch only like half of the video and this pinned comment is the third time you mentioning this. You are a very very good player. And need to chill

[@the_takibo]

​@@duedman-alleswasknallt5775 I'm not saying it takes no skill to do it. What I'm saying is to reach those upper limits you'll need great rng, this run here had great rng, and it'll need even better rng to even face 2k bugs It's gonna take skill and rng. And I wasn't talking about other people. I was explaining why I won't be going for it. Because of having to redo until great rng comes isn't something I'm feelin

[@AJ_Artisans_]

​@@duedman-alleswasknallt5775 What if, hear me out, it's both? Don't have to try and call people out for no reason.

[@marcenna]

bro did not let dough have the record for long

[@ricardoefcbrito]

Mic dropped with this new record

[@jmcclain33]

Thank god, oh dough is fucking annoying as shit.

[@Shway_Maximus]

1805 now even 24 hours lol

[@GolemRising]

Why do I hear two banjos going back and forth?

[@serbiansauvage]

Put that boy in his place for disrespecting Takibo.

[@ghouishfouiyshf]

the race to 2000 👀

[@Raftanova]

vs OhDough 😁

[@Tali_the_Dragon]

Gimli looks at Takibo killing a Bile Titan " That still only counts as ONE!"

[@ItzSpritz]

To also answer the question at 27:50, everyone else may also not have the 25% fire damage increase with the ship module. I also liked that you mentioned spiked. He’s been doing a lot of co-op lately but he has some solo stealth dives from a month or two ago that are very very nice.

[@mcsnoopster]

I'm loving this lol. I'd encourage a friendly competition between the two of you I watch both your channels I think you're both great creators with unique styles.

[@whysoseeryus3053]

orrrr.... hear me out - they go duo game.

[@mcsnoopster]

@@whysoseeryus3053 I feel like Dough would kill tak when Tak wasn't looking...

[@let_mebe_frank]

It hasn't felt very friendly to me, TBH. I don't mind some of Dough's videos but he loses me when he gets into weird pissing contests with other creators. There's room for everyone and this game already has way too much drama.

[@Pr0digyZRX]

​@let_mebe_frank you can tell he used to be an apex steamer. They're all like that

[@xyriliawhitestrake7263]

Love the randoms flaming you in ohdough's comments as if it matters to ANYBODY beyond the fun little challenge. I have mad respect for everyone who tries this kind of thing. I love challenge runs that have no real purpose beyond fun. You're just playing with the stipulation because it's fun, and I'm glad you're making it clear you want to move on to other things. It's always a fine line when your challenge goes from a fun activity to a frustrating grind to beat yourself or someone else. Looking forward to future videos!

[@LukanoTBC]

2k kills before the patrol revert ! i believe in you !

[@pradyumnarout8402]

IT feels fun watching the best of the best pushing for kill records for pure adrenaline (and a bit of peer pressure). But yeah, as you said, its so much RNG and the game's oriented more towards objective completion and never reward for kills, even punishing you when you stall extraction. Yet it's so fun to watch these kinds of while i shut off my brain.

[@BigDBrian]

I wish the game counted heavy unit kills separately. So you can see how many chargers / titans (or for bots tanks / factory striders) you cleared :)

[@ivancom980]

I feel like something fun, that will also test your skills more, is to try and go for a high winstreak with a single helldiver, or in other words complete as many missions as possible (preferably full clearing the map) without dying. Also great video takibo keep it up my man!

[@cryonisc]

Just a reminder that firing the flamethrower and diving backwards 99% triggers setting yourself on fire. I think the hitbox of your foot hits the flamethrower thingy :D so be prepared to dive again / stim.

[@ineednewvegas2267]

great vid as always, also still enjoying the game

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

Ok, I'm inspired. 0 kill helldive here i come. *Oh damn, you already did that.

[@manningfamilychronicles1601]

I love watching you slaughter thousands of bugs.

[@fernandoacdosanjos]

The Cadet loadout: starter armor set, liberator, pistol, machine gun, precision air strike. Clear main and side objectives. Let’s gooooo!!

[@mike3667]

I think he already did something similar

[@fernandoacdosanjos]

@@mike3667 not quite. He did with gear from the warbond.

[@stuartbenjamin8236]

Pls post the game where you use EAT and eventually died!! It’s always interesting to see when really good players get overwhelmed because of extra difficult rng

[@daethbane]

Well, it was a BS ending but awesome stuff as usual. I hope you post that other video you mentioned as well, sounds crazy!

[@ryanw3058]

The bile titan that wasn't spitting had it's 'forward belly'(chest?) blown out which is actually where the spit comes from. The 'rear belly' I think is basically like the chargers back end. Kept for congruent aetethics. The back belly can also be blown off like the chargers (with a lot of fire power).

[@raghuscsa316]

You legend, I loved this video.

[@monashaVR]

Terminids: "I fear no man but that thing it scares me" Takibo goes brrrrr

[@jaredallison3]

35:09 Looks like the BT was emoting on you. XD

[@wesguitarguy9536]

Jar 5 seems like its actually good against bugs.. Maybe because I'm bad. Love to see how you find it vs bugs. maybe with the single shot pistol as sidearm for the potato bugs and stuff. Be curious what you would pair it with besides the flamethrower.

[@mikewinterborn]

THE HELLDIVEST!

[@FiveSeVIIen]

insane thought, you could have more killing power if you dont bring the shield pack, and if you count on RNG you could find a flamethrower somewhere already on the map, thats min maxxing's older brother, max maxxing

[@trash-y-y]

Honestly I enjoy the kill hunting games. Even if it’s not trying to break a record, I like watching a good player just mess shit up, it’s super satisfying

[@Kyrox2]

At some point, you should do a fun tier list. Just rank the guns and stratagems by how much you enjoy using them. A lot of folks get wrapped up in the balance and effectiveness of stuff, but I'd love to see your take on the lesser used stuff without it being specifically about how effective those options are.

[@snoozy7698]

That thumbnail bro, I almost spit out my gum 😅

[@InfinityArc]

would you ever try the spear build or make one that revolves around the spear

[@eyiss7236]

I'm gonna miss this series

[@patrickhuffman9632]

What's up legend.

[@Eight-Bytes]

10:46 - Looking back at it, and it looks like the Hunter to your right got you with an insane hitbox spread. He wasn't even close enough to melee you, but I'm now convinced their attacks are just massive in size. As to why it one shot you; I had to go back frame-by-frame, but it looks like the Warrior in front of the re-supply attacked you right after as well, which is what 'caused you to die.

[@squeezyjibbs6643]

I've been having great fun with this loadout, maybe you want to try it out? Airburst RL (pretty good after all the fixes, very reliable); 500kg + OPS, your heavy killer; Orbital Gas/Orbital Airburst (any works, both are very good to throw on breaches); Light Fortified armor to protect yourself from your Airburst RL oopsies, stun grenades (you want to have those chargers in place to hit them with 500kg/OPS), GL Pistol (Redeemer works better if you don't want to close nests I guess), a shotgun of your choice (Inc Breaker before it gets nerfed?)

[@gardeford]

For off meta i'd love to see you do a laser only run with like: Scythe, dagger, laser cannon, laser rover, and orbital laser XD

[@gloeckle]

at the time we had the kill counter in blitz you could see that a Bile Titan kill actually counts +15. You could still argue what spawn is better but it is not like a titan is only worth 1.

[@w0otr]

Boy, we need these 2k now for sure with the new Major Order! xD

[@Danii_0626]

I like this build, it started with 500kg bomb, napalm, quasar and azor. I ended with same build thats in video and im struggling to destroy shrieker nests and spore spewers with only 500kg bomb. Is 500kg bomb able to oneshot shrieker nest or not? Edit: same build only stratagems and breaker inc are same.

[@grrrund]

Warriors kill me so fast sometimes that it makes me love the game even more. Bile Spewers are my weakness as well.

[@o_tdiggity]

Do you also live stream anywhere? would be fun to chat while you are in the thick of it, lol.

[@MozzyTheMoose]

I wish the flamethrower had a bit of hit stun or slow effect. Just enough to keep things like hunters, spewers, and brood commanders off your face instead just walking up to you through the torrent of fire and giving you the ol' W. Smith.

[@lucasandradelanes]

I think you are the only person on super earth that willingly dive in a hot planet lol

[@mrg2155]

0 kill full bug mission would be insane, side objectives that do not involve explosions mandatory.

[@w0otr]

Oh Dough ehh i mean oh no!

[@GooiYingChyi]

Arms race with OhDough.

[@jonathanpinkerton4064]

why does the flamethrower melt chargers but not bile titans?

[@MrLordLowbob]

whats your automaton kill record? I'd wager that is a lot different

[@simonepez9879]

They should make it like bigger enemies gives more kill count, like a bile titan counts for 20 kills, a charger for like 10 and so on, so even if you get more bile titans the kill count can go up

[@InvaderTroy]

it would be cool if they applied the exterminate mission completion enemy weight to kills at the end. Just call it points instead of something.

[@ryanpost1446]

Where do I post my screen shots? I have over 50 1000 kills games. My most 2068 kills. Is the record is 1910 I'd like to post mine and receive my recognition lol

[@Mark-bj6zc]

Top 4 solo, spike and thicc should go with takiba and dough for a match together lol

[@b.e.h7324]

i think the reason the titan couldnt spit at 38:00 was because the rest of its belly was gone

[@crowgod4833]

10:52 I think that Hunter to your right hit you just before the Warrior

[@Phillip_Viera]

Shots fired again

[@patrickhuffman9632]

It would be nice if the stats showed by enemy type instead of total. Even if it was just "heavy medium small" categories.

[@gatekeeper99924]

500kg seems to have a smaller blast/shrapnel range than a 380mm shell landing

[@neonskyline8079]

It's like an arms race for which KZbinr can get the most kills in a game before they revert the patrols lol.

[@tingkuei958]

Taiko you are great, don't worry about the kill number, I'd rather see you challenge yourself with set up that aren't so optimized. Keep up the good work! I've been watching you to get inspiration for different load outs.😊

[@Pr0digyZRX]

Thats wild... if you didn't get so many bile titans you could've gotten the 2k. 1910 plus that many bile titans... GGs If hunters spawn in groups of 14 and each bile titan causes that group to not spawn then youre only losing 13 kills unless you dont kill the bile titan. So for 10 bile titans you missed out on 130 kills. Not 140. Either way if you had gotten them it would've still been over 2k. That was pretty awesome to witness tbh Im assuming this is the current world record? At least for now...?

[@MrPawsPause]

I don’t know why people are flexing on ohdoughs channel, saying you got “pwned”. These kids don’t have an ounce of maturity in them. It’s a game.

[@noxiebobo]

Bro they're just memeing, how is it not obvious? Who the hell says "pwned" unironically?

[@MrPawsPause]

@@noxiebobothe kid that said it has replied on his other videos about how other content creators have skill issues. Don’t know if it’s mememing or glazing.

[@Legendary_Honey]

What does it matter? It's goofy, sure, but that's also a harmless comment. Don't let it bother you.

[@MrPawsPause]

@@Legendary_Honeydid my comment bother you to reply to me?

[@davidtrueblood1863]

⁠​⁠@@MrPawsPausehuh? You ok?

[@jobanski]

I had a dream last night where I was playing this, but I dropped with the wrong load out. I had my flame thrower, but I forgot to bring my laser guard dog. Not sure if I could call this a weird dream or nightmare.

[@dansksjow7612]

takibo saying he’ll never ever try to break his kill record again: 😏

[@gv100_blitz]

I think it doesn’t kill when it lands on bile titans because they have the breakable armor plating on their back which has its own hp

[@DrauulGaming]

Glad I'm not the only one who feels like stims are failing more recently due to stagger or whatever

[@SimoWill75]

I regularly see whole patrols of the small scavengers just walk out of a 500kg explosion like it was nothing. Makes no sense.

[@satlaharfa7418]

You gotta break 2000 before its too late

[@justusconring75]

Great content my guy keep up the good videos! Lately I have been wondering what would be a good combo for automatons if you want to run the railgun and the shield generator pack. Because the biggest problem I ran into was that you can’t get rid of gunships. If you’re looking for a new try at the satisfying one shot hulks please considerate this if you see this comment. Btw by far my most favourite gameplay channel for helldivers 2! ❤

[@BishopNY]

832 is my personal best kill count. I wasn’t even trying to max it out either.

[@icepackager]

sad to see bro is retiring in the race to 2k kills, i feel takibo would have been the one to do it

[@KeeneBraden]

Seems like the movement speed is higher than normal

[@munoz580]

It looks like you flamed your pinky toe when diving backwards. 😂

[@ryanpost1446]

450 hours in game. Over repeated trial and error, your best bet to get 2000 kills is play on 8. Way less heavies which cause more smaller guys to spawn. I hit 2000 kills 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Sickle, laser cannon laser pistol rover 500kg, orbital rail nothing comes close to crowd control. And playing with more people youll get more bugs (i dont care what patch notes or youtubers say im going off 450 hours of trial and error) more players more bugs, hold aggro while your team speed runs the main mission. Once completed the bug spawn rate also increases. The sooner you do the main mission the more time you have to stay and kill.

[@Muhyee00]

Last night we did a run every player had and average of 700 kill 😂😂😂we cleared the map and at the extraction the bugs just never stop coming!!

[@ALuckyDonkey]

Tbh, record kills are nice and all. But fun loadouts are…. fun.

[@MrZerged]

Hey, by chance would you be willing to post the EAT video? I feel very curious and it sounds like you had a VERY good time.

[@passionsv.2]

500kg explodes upwards that’s why it works better if it’s below

[@chittychittybangbang423]

What armor are you running ?? Youre fast as shit compared to me lol

[@heathyb0134]

What's the bot record ?

[@orelasformas8290]

[@kaznika6584]

Gotta enjoy the flame build before they nerf it into the ground.

[@Soter_Rev]

You'll have to do a only melee run 26:39

[@KickinTodlrs]

At around 27-28 minutes you were explaining about the flamethrower and a commenter saying your flamethrower does more damage than theirs, you forgot to account for the ship module that literally gives you a huge percentage buff to overall damage done with the flamethrower

[@vik1837]

These total kills vids are getting boring man. Arrowhead needs to come out with something for us to do!

[@the_takibo]

Illuminates pls

[@isi8104]

Did arrowhead already fix the increased diffculty for less than 4 players?

[@peters_stuff]

Two things I have to say ... or maybe three 1) - the solution for dealing with supercolonies is to train a special detachment of takibo type Helldivers to sweep through massive numbers of bugs 2) would be really great feature if helmet HUD could display killcounter live 3) have you seen the landscape? You're not just fighting bugs, that is teraforming at the same time :D

[@FreakinFreckleFace]

People on Dough’s comment section trying to say my boy Takibo using an aim bot smh people are petty….

[@codymcgeorge9893]

Maybe a cadet loadout. All starting gear solo.

[@PaperMage236]

He's actually done that. Only used gear/stratagems that could be unlocked within 2-3 hours if gameplay. Was last month as I recall.

[@jaskbi]

"Another creator" they fear the name OnDough

[@renuznet]

Bile Titans should be 10 kills. Chargers 5, etc

[@pedramkavian]

So the whole thing is about shooting some critters coming between the rocks? I seriously don't get it why this game is so advertised everywhere!!!!

[@pjcohen9240]

Challenge: Complete a solo Helldive with no stratagems or boosters. muahahahahaha!

[@Notgoodlilbro123]

They wanna make the game realistic, hence 500kg not killing Bile titans if it lands straight on them, nvm who am I kidding? AH can't balance anything.

[@fancychance57]

500kg is bugged, wont kill light armored mobs

[@travis8106]

Me: "I'm tired of hunter clusters" Takibo: "Hopefully we get a fuckton of hunters" Some people are just built different

[@TheHatmanTheHitokori]

If dough beats this, you coming back?

[@the_takibo]

Nah tbh, maybe when they add more difficulties in the future :D Should be easy enough to beat this with the ideal spawns though, he or anyone else should have it in no time ^_^

[@ElioRose]

NoDough is petty...he'll definitely go for 2,000 cause his ego is fragile lol. Everyone already knows Takibo is better anyway 😂

[@nobreppbig]

wife? you cheating on me?

[@handohansolo8866]

“One final time” yeah sure

[@mcsnoopster]

I'd be more impressed with a solo game where you try to get all available samples than high kills personally. Seems really really hard if even possible.

[@WINTERGREEN53]

We need a dough takibo collab for max kills

[@sppv3120]
