[@jonathanbailey2818]

@@PhaseShifter quality over quantity cannot be understated, keep em coming and thank you for the effort!

[@TheNightOwl11683]

My personal loadout: Primary: Blitzer for bugs, Sickle for Bots Secondary: Grenade Pistol Grenade: Stun Slot 1: Quasar Cannon Slot 2: Guard Dog Rover for bugs, Shield Generator Pack for bots Slot 3: Orbital Precision Strike Slot 4: Orbital Airburst Strike Quick cooldowns on orbital strategems that are quick to input, very low to no risk of running out of ammo, & you have a solution for any problems. You are best in a support role giving covering fire when a fellow helldiver needs to reload or covering the rear moving between objectives.

[@Razie1201]

Almost my exact loadout I quit for a bit just getting back i like the plas for the bot but i never used the blitzer much ill have into it

[@TheNightOwl11683]

@@Razie1201 Blitzer is about to get better with the update. It already has a good stagger, but reportedly it will now stun as well, & the same goes for the Arc Thrower. Wonder if it will apply to the Tesla Tower?

[@Weenerneenerchickendinner]

Perhaps the best load out was the friends we made along the way.

[@PhaseShifter]

PREACH!

[@ArthurEverling]

I personally love the Medium and Heavy MGs for both factions. Medium for bugs and heavy for bots. Supply pack, stun grenades, precision strike and 500kg. Do not underestimate crowd control loadouts. There were plenty of times I’ve had to cover my teammates while they were reloading or get them out of a bind with just sustained fire. Especially against bugs. Shoot till’ it’s empty! Edit: The Breaker Spray & Pray is *very* underrated. Sometimes just holding the trigger is what you need to do. You have 8 26 round drums to work with. Go nuts. You can even kill Chargers with it provided you have stuns.

[@PhaseShifter]

It certainly feels like the "Escalation of Crowd Control Update!"

[@BrockWittmayer]

I love the MG and HMG but with the new buff to chargers I saw that I could no longer penetrate their legs with them and no longer became I reliable option. I don’t know everyone else’s experiences but I tried them on 8 different chargers and nope the guns just bounce off the leg armor now. This sucked the fun out of it for me and I uninstalled it to make room for better games

[@scaryKILLERwhoKILLSpeople]

@@BrockWittmayer dont fire at the armor. a spray with the HMG on their ass works perfectly fine. armor stripping was an unintended meta that only worked in the first few months

[@drago8664]

For bots I usually run the 500kg, autocannon turrent, then heavy MG and ammo backpack. Then crossbow to kill buildings and striders fast and then revolver for when I don't have anything else loaded. It's been working pretty good so far!

[@scaryKILLERwhoKILLSpeople]

i love the dakka dakka of the heavy MG. real bot nation here too

[@flarefox3118]

The problem I have with this video isn’t the video itself - it’s very informative. It’s more that AH will definitely see this as a need to nerf things again to break up new metas. They don’t understand that the reason meta exists is because they themselves create it through nerfing meta. There will always be meta. You want variety, make the rest better to give people more viable playstyles.

[@OftenYesMan]

I picked up a deserters railgun the other day and fell back in love with that thing vs bots. It was fantasic.

[@Jmanfire2105]

IMO the orbital gas strike is seriously underrated. Short recovery and deployment times, fantastic area denial and chaff clearing capabilities. Just toss it directly onto bug breaches or hordes and, voila! That area is now chaff-free!

[@J-Dizzle95]

Duuuuude thank you this video is actually great!!! I am gonna try all of these. I have tried some of this stuff and I totally see where you’re coming from with these combos, I’m excited to try them out and get a little more variety in my gameplay.

[@adriancollado9275]

I think the grenade launcher is now legit against bots as well now that you can see the hit marker. It wrecks the new striders and if you have a supply pack with you and a scorcher to handle gunships you’re golden. You may also bring a commando along so you can have anti-tank capability and be able to better assault the new automaton fortresses.

[@PhaseShifter]

Yeah, I've always rated the GL against both factions. Once you get the aim down it's a beast!

[@lucapietro3023]

Good to see positive news on Helldiver's for once and not complaining about the fire changes

[@4ykos444]

Personal reccomendation for weapons and stratagems (primary, secondary, support and greanades) for bots and bugs Bugs: Primary- Eruptor, Secondary- Crisper, Support- Machine Gun (the most basic) Use the eruptor as Nursing/bile/commander slayer, also for closing bugholes, crisper works extremely well for spraying down 2 mags on bug breach and unleashing hell with your actual primary, the MG, and stun nade (charger stunning) Stratagems: I love to take shield BP for more survivability, especially when getting up close with cripser and realoading the MG, also stalker-deny. Railcannon and precision are a must IMO, the BP can be changed for something else, just my preference, but if i were to swap it, it'd probably be the airstrike. Bots: Primary- Diligence Counter Sniper, Secondary- Grenade pistol, Support- Commando, and stun nade (hulk stunning) Diligence is always my first choice, cuz of high dmg, pen and precision, making fighting devastators a breeze (struggling vs berserkes, but if you can 1shot devastators its worth it imho), grenade pistol for a quick ,,fuck off striders'' and if you need to destroy the last fabricator, and commando is great vs everything except gunships (hard to destroy 2 at once), but until the fabricator ,,bug'' is nerfed use it to destroy whole outposts from far away. Stratagems: Airstrike (a must have), Gas strike, and jumppack. You can change gas for something else, same as jumppack, but i personally like these, gas is extremely good to throw underneath an incoming drop, also can take down detector towers, while jumppack is just great utility on bots, if i were to swap them: gaas for 380mm, jumppack for 500kg for factory striders If anybody got questions about some changes let me know, i'd be happy to help

[@jckfrost36]

3:23 "We at Arrowhead listen to our players. That is why everytime you use your supply pack an orbital precision strike will immediately drop on your head" 😁😁

[@javierbayon741]

They should remove the bug of picking eight supplies crates or is that too dumb?

[@seanstenson95]

I would love to see loadout slots added. Would cut down on the time to swap between weapons/Strategem selection.

[@sykrss9534]

I’ve been running the dominator with the hmg or auto cannon with either Gatling and eagle or an auto cannon sentry and a rocket sentry, I got over 75 kills standing between the two sentry’s on a breach it was epic, pop a few stuns and watch the carnage unfold

Loving Las98, eruptor and redeemer with shield backpack against bots right now!

[@PhaseShifter]

INTERESTING SETUP!

[@ChizAndStuff]

For bugs.. - AR 61 Tenderizer or Breaker Incen, Grenade Pistol, Impact Grenades - 120mm Orbital, Eagle Airstrike, Precision Orbital Strike, Spear Been my go to loadout on level 9 and now 10 with the recent update if I want to play more "seriously" and haven't been disappointed. The last few days though I've been trying out different combinations to help keep the game feeling fresh. Really hoping whatever major update is next adds some kind of long term progression since i dont really have a reason to play other than grinding for max level, everything for me is fully upgraded and completed

[@PhaseShifter]

The Chicken Tendy does feel really nice to use!

[@Azrael178]

Idk if im the only one, but i have unironically started to use amr against bugs. I know its not as good as autocannon, but it does surprisingly well against medium bugs. If you roll the guardian commander enemies it's soo satisfying

[@PhaseShifter]

The main thing is enjoying the game! Making things work, even when they aren't the best is very satisfying!

[@damienmcdonald7610]

The AMR is a beast against bots already I just wish they'd add a 3rd person cross hair, then I'd use it against bugs too. I know it is accurate in 3rd person but I'm not good without the reticle, I end up wasting too many shots

[@Azrael178]

@@damienmcdonald7610 oddly enough I was running AMR on bugs last couple of days. Dif7 predominantly since my friends couldn't play the same hours I did, but I had a lot of success with it in combination with supply backpack and cookout. It shreds medium bugs. I found myself not needing it in the end since I quickly got used to cross hairless shooting from 3rd person,but I remembered from playing kingdom come deliverence, there are free programs on the net that allow you to place a small white dot in a middle of your screen.

[@thoughtgaming492]

For my new loadout I really cant decide between vanguard sword and shield or assault with thunder hammer. For now though I think I'm gonna go with a PvP build on bot missions. Riot shield, defender, and shield generator relay.

[@PhaseShifter]

PURGE THE HERETICS!

[@KlyosXA]

I am concerned about the ammo backpack being changed in the future. Datamniners have found a backpack that distributes Stims. Why would that be needed when the current backpack offers ammo and stims? Are they going to divide it so one packpack has ammo and another offers stims? Considering recent balancing, I fear that may be the case.

[@PhaseShifter]

I am genuinely concerned about this too. It really does feel like the linchpin in so many builds!

[@BrockWittmayer]

I hope it get nerfed. You will just watch this game burn after that hahaha

[@Zetheek]

I think them nerfing the supply backpack would be the last straw for me, it just holds together all my builds.

[@damienmcdonald7610]

​@@BrockWittmayerthat's a pretty petty comment lol. You don't enjoy the game so you don't want others too either? That's kinda sad imo

My personal favorite is used orbital laser strike that hits heavy targets the Eagle 500 KG bomb eagle airstrike and for my support weapon. Use the spear.

[@lucapietro3023]

Rail gun, jump pack, this is my favorite combo

[@andrewdickerson5146]

Subscribed, awesome video and much needed since the nerfs

[@SlinkyConsumption]

I think a good loadout (the one I go for in bug missions) is the eruptor for alpha commanders and such, the crisper for hordes, the stuns to keep enemies in place when taking out weak points, and the spear to take out heavy armored enemies. because I use stun grenades I use eruptor for taking out bug holes. this also works for automatons, but you should usually swap out the crisper for a weapon of your liking instead. STUN GRENADE TIP! if your gonna use a stratagem and throw it into a crowd, throw the stratagem, then the stun grenade without moving your camera. this will keep the enemies in one spot so they get hit with it!

[@nagiaoe2434]

Orbital walking barrage is so underrated

[@PhaseShifter]

The change is EPIC!

[@Ashenwolf888]

Arrowhead should stop nerfing weapons constantly. Thats one of the few reasons wich made me quit the game. They release a few new weapons only to nerf them into the ground a few weeks later, making them pretty much useless.

[@frencerenniermendoza5047]

Go to against bugs orbital gatling/120 mm barrage,eagle/110 mm pods and autocannon with cookout as the primary

I use the scout armor (tan and green, forgor the name) paired with breaker incendiary + senator (i don’t have the grenade pistol yet) + incendiary grenades, and for stratagems, I run railcannon, napalm/orb gas, Shield generator and Railgun on unsafe

[@j.proberts4728]

I feel like what the developers aren’t getting, is that some people get the most enjoyment and FUN out of killing bots and bugs as efficiently as possible. They should give us a variety of “META”-like tactics instead of taking them away.

[@shadowfoxprower4412]

My load out is a hybrid of dealing with both horde and heavy armor which is RR, OPS, OGB, and OGS.

[@Neatherhero]

You just gave me an idea. What if the flamethrower and laser cannon support weapons came with backpacks that would act as additional/endless fuel and a heatsink type thing to extend the duration of the laser?

[@Aviator-Chicken]

For bots I never thought I’d see the day but the rail cannon is back once again! They buffed it a long time ago that would give the unsafe mode more time to fire and being able to take out patrol ships makes it a beast against most enemies My loadout is as follows Sickle or Tenderizer Grenade Pistol Rail Gun Supply Pack

[@pa-pyro2804]

I like the grenade launcher and the commando or breaker with the supply pack nuke regular eagle

[@advancedmonkey7702]

Best LO against bugs are now Fire shotgun + GL + ammo pack, just need OPS for super heavy bug. 🤷‍♂

[@VeXu666]

Kinda surprised there's nothing about lasers that got ninja buffed. All lasers now cause burning in enemies and together with laser drone a laser loadout creates a pretty insane moving machine.

[@Doominator10]

I've been enjoying the medium MG vs bugs more than the hmg these days. It's not 'quite' as powerful as hmg and it loses utility, but because I have metric tons more ammo, I can happily take a shieldpack instead of supply pack and something like plasma punisher vs bugs as well since it can deal with chargers and titans fairly well.

[@PhaseShifter]

Brr Brr definitely has it's place! It feels very good to use!

[@reptilesarecool9763]

Against bugs I run the spear, ops, napalm strike, and 120 barrage. I’ve figured out how to get consistent 1 shot kills with the spear so I’ve been loving it

[@spitleiden]

how

[@reptilesarecool9763]

@@spitleiden relies on the enemy facing you. chargers need to be 30+ meters away and facing you, aim down as far as possible without breaking lock. Bile titans should be a similar distance from you and facing you directly, then you want to aim as far up as possible without breaking lock. generally the bile titan facing you will ensure a one shot but they are very unpredictable and they turn around a lot

[@prompking3345]

Regardless of gear, the one thing I will always run with is my one true love, the stun grenades.

[@gravitationalredshift]

my go-to for 10 is autocannon, gatling, OPS, and 500. AC handles alpha commanders super well and also demolishes spewers if there are any (ew), gatling has such a low cooldown i can toss it at any and every bug breach, and OPS+500 just handles any thing AC and the breaker can't

I’ve been running cookout and autocannon. Anything my cookout can’t kill the autocannon can. I used to run the recoilless rifle but the new charger behemoth and impaler make it useless. Who would have thought that nerfing everything would make something untouched the best weapon

[@Azrael178]

Im not going to lie, im glad to see some positivity around the new additions. So many people seem so angry how new enemies and difficulty make the game harder... Like, that's the point, if you find it too difficult no one makes you play the difficulty you are. There are 10 difficulties so you can find something ideal for yourself not for you to feel bad beating your head against t10 if you don't find it enjoyable.

[@ziljanvega3879]

Regressing from solo level 7 to down to level 4 just to be able to barely play a build you enjoy is not fun dude. 400hrs into the game, and I’m usually the highest scoring guy on any team. Who are they making this game for??

I don't find the previous difficulties any more difficult, diff 10 is harder as it should be most people's problem is with the flamethrower change which I do get. Hopefully they change it in another way to make it fun again and don't reduce the ability of any of the other good stuff.

I can't believe you left out the laser cannon for bugs. It kills alphas and spewers quickly without taking up a backpack slot. It can even take out chargers due to the new flame dot effect.

Cluster bomb good too

[@lukemehalick370]

It's decent, but as soon as you get to 7+, so many enemies can survive a cluster bomb, but not an eagle airstrike, or a 500kg. I find taking 500kg or air strike and a quick refreshing crowd control orbital works better than cluster. Kills fewer squad mates as well 🙂 Anything the cluster bomb can consistently kill can be done with primary/secondary/nades, allowing you to use that slot for harder hitting stratagems. The 120 mm barrage amazes me every time I bring it.

It's a Space Marine that's the BEST weapon 😂! 😢

[@timemage88x13]

Why make this video they are just going to nerfed everything there???

[@varasija5879]

Is using macros a must?

[@PhaseShifter]

@@varasija5879 for stratagem inputs? No, definitely not. I've always inputted them manually, the only time it is a problem is when you're trying something you don't usually use or you panic and try call in too fast 😅

[@Blood-Moon-Pack]

non because yk the dumb devs will nerf them because yk they do not want to have meta weapons

[@BirdGangDad]

Wait…did you say catnip diver? 😂

[@mute3003]

They're not gonna nerf those guns. They're gonna nerf you for covering up these playstyles😂😅
