I’m not a fan of the rover backpacks, without their ability to toggle on and off they end up being a liability at high difficulties. Reason being they tend to attract mob attentions unintentionally and can easily snowball an enemy horde into a small army if you fail to keep up with the killing or run away. And the laser backpack’s infinite laser bug takes away any reason to use the normal scythe it’s based on, they need to fix that bug soon.

Space marines 2 has killed this trashdiving game already 😂

Run the same build but with incendiary impact nades and extra nades perk. Use the nades to thin the hunters and weaken everything. Issue is the chargers with thus build. Ether rely on someone else or bait them into running into obstructions and dropping strats on them.

I've just started playing helldivers, been living rocking the 2 handheld laser guns and the rover

you cant say "scythe does almost as much damage as eruptor or crossbow" really, as they are single bullet weapons while the scythe need 1 second of sustained fire for that amount of damage.

The LC is fantastic on both bugs and bots. I’ve been messing with it for the last several missions on bugs, and I had been sleeping on it for bugs. I have however very much loved it for bots. It’s just a very good utility tool Right now, my loadout for bugs is Blitzer, Laser Cannon, grenade pistol, 500 (OPS good substitute), and gas strike. And stun grenades. And shield generator backpack

Okay but what about stratagem 1: orbital rail cannon strike. Stratagem 2: eagle 500KG. Stratagem 3: Eagle air strike. Stratagem 4: spear support weapon. Edit please try this load out before talking shit on it it’s very effective

a grand majority of weapons have MUCH higher DPS than the scythe, but the scythe's laser and lack of recoil and spread means crits are easy peasy. The few that don't have a higher DPS are probably an explosive weapon that can one shot a thing or two.

Kai and Eraven? I must be dreaming

15:57 As a rover main from day one it caused me physical pain to see you run straight at the beam for 10 seconds straight, just asking to die They should either make the rover fly directly above your head or just a little but higher than where it is now that way its only a danger to your teammates

Im convinced that super helldiver replaces all chargers with the other variants, all brood commanders with alphas and all scavengers with hive guards. Same thing on the bots, all scouts are rocket scouts and theres a bazillion berserkers. It just makes every breach require a TON of damage because guards and berserkers are bullet sponge meat shields

Are you just using the medium extra padding armor?

This is why I love using turrets and/or mines against terminids as they can pull aggro. When approaching a large nest Ill yeet both mortars and a gatling off to the side as far as I can. That way when they start raining hate it'll kite out a lot of the bugs which will be handily slaughtered thinning out a ton of the chaff and giving us a clear approach to zerg rush the nest and start plugging holes. Trick is making sure you or a team mate takes out the chargers ASAP though since they will run roughshod through your turrets. Sometimes when I'm trying to solo a nest I'll take the quasar, alpha strike the charger, then throw my turrets while beating feet in a parabolic arc around the nest. If its one of the large crater nests usually I can run in and close up half the holes before I need to start clearing again.

I've been running this EXACT build for a while!! It's so fun!!! Another variation is the Pummler/Bullet Bag/HMG. Pummeler slows everything down for your bag and the HMG clears mediums with ease

Concept: Orbital Flamethrower and Mechanics in Helldivers 2 Dear comminsar kai I wanted to share a concept for incorporating an orbital flamethrower as a deployable stratagem in heldivers 2 idea is to introduce it as a powerful, strategic asset that players can call upon in dire situations, specifically to counter the overwhelming numbers of Termines. Functionality: Players could call in the orbital flamethrower as a high-tier Stratagem, similar to orbital strikes. Upon activation, a targeting reticle would appear, allowing players to designate a large area where the flames will be deployed it would be a large flame that Will blank down for 10 sec like the flamtrowers in game the flames will stay for 15 sec. Effect: Once triggered, the orbital flamethrower would unleash a torrent of intense fire from orbit, incinerating everything within the target zone. The heat would be so intense that it could wipe out entire swarms of Terminds and destroy any structures or nests in the area Cooldown and Limitations:Given its destructive potential, the orbital flamethrower would have, one use ensuring it’s used strategically rather than. For team killing Additionally, its deployment might require coordination, as it could potentially harm allies if not used carefully. Visual and Audio Effects:To enhance the experience, the deployment of the orbital flamethrower could be accompanied by dramatic visual effects, such as the atmosphere igniting and a roaring sound as the flames descend from space. This would not only make it a powerful tool but also a memorable in-game moment. Strategic Use Cases: - Clearing large hives or nests of Termines when overrun. - Providing an emergency escape route by decimating Termines in a player's path. - Utilizing it as a last-resort measure in high-difficulty missions where standard tactics may fail. I believe this concept could add a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay, offering players a powerful yet balanced tool to handle some of the game’s most challenging scenarios. I’d love to discuss this idea further and explore how it could be integrated into the game mechanics. Looking forward to your thoughts. Best regards, From the adjudicator of democracy

Great video as usual. Is there a way you can do your load out pictures as well. I watch the videos and then later when I get on can't remember everything to bring and being able to quickly look back at the loadout would be awesome, thanks CK

I've been a consistent Lazer Trooper ever since I unlocked it. If only there was an armor buff to give me more heat sinks or stronger beams, I'd be the happiest little helldiver ever 🥹

When i need a tutorial to squad leaderahip with randoms, this is THE channel to go to.

Kai nd Eravin...Love it!

Laser Cannon has potential to replace primary weapon, there for Why not replace it with eruptor (aka grenade pistol for primaries), so you can close buh nests / bot's facilities from a great distance, since dagger is now more reliable

Hey there! I would like to know your personal record for hulks on any mission type because I just got 9 on a difficulty 4 civilian evac mission.

I tried something similar going Scythe, Dagger, Laser Cannon, Guard Dog Laser, Laser Orbital and Railcannon Orbital. Was it effective? In some ways... not really. But it sure was thematic! ALL THE LASERS! edit: Probably can't go Stun Grenade due to bug holes and whatnot - or just hang out with someone who can destroy them easily.

Picked up the Scythe for the first time in months became of this video. It's really good on either front! Paired with the laser cannon rips so well

Yes

NO MATTER WHAT I LOVE ESCALATION OF FREEDOM FOR THE LASER BUILD IS GREAT

Here's my loadout when I go on Diff 9. Its excellent for heavy units, good at bug breaches, good at closing holes, slightly decent at chaff clearing and make you immune to stalkers and spewers. I'm able to do various roles such as scouting samples, doing objectives or nest clearing. Spear + Orbital Precision Strike for chargers/titans 120MM barrage/Eagle Napalm for bug breaches Eagle Airstrike to quickly close holes on small or medium nests Blitzer primary can stagger commander, stalkers and stop the spewers from spitting Grenade Pistol for closing holes HE Grenades for regular missions/Stun Grenades for HVA or Extermination Missions

Laser Team 6 armed and ready.

They need to fix alot of stuff.

Maintain your lane and peel/pivot from behind your team.

Fk i want to team up with you. Good job

Emperor of Democracy? Lol.

Good ish, been thinking about giving that kit a try. Side note: I do wish they would tweak the guard dog to fly juuuust a little higher so it wasn't constantly lighting you up

Help! I wish to join in the super destroyer task force kai's commando's, but for some godforsaken reason the democratic distribution service is all out of wack and I can't talk with my engineer officer about it, help!

i feel like the point that most people aren't understanding, is ANY build can be effective in TEAM play! when you have 4 divers bringing their own tools of destruction, the collective power goes through the roof. What we want are builds that are good or at least competent in TRUE SOLO! yes you can do a level 10 bug OR bot mission with this exact loadout in solo, BUT its gonna be frustrating. Most of us want the challenge without being frustrated. if they really do make charger armour AP4 in the patch slated for the 17th, its going to mean i can bring Laser cannon all the time for bug missions, that will be fun. its still a challenge because i have to KNOW when i have an opening to kill the charger, i still have to be conscious of my surroundings, and i still have to manage my heat levels which is an inherent thing with the laser weapons. and yes, a laser cannon sentry would be AMAZING, it has unlimited ammo, BUT it has reduced health in comparison to the other turrets to make up for infinite ammo, and its still only active for 120 second before going away assuming it wasn't broken by then. I could keep going, but for now, i have some bugs that need to have their faces melted with lasers.

Quick correction: The Sickle actually has higher DPS than the scythe, but you can fire the scythe slightly longer. Practically speaking, I think it's really just down to preference given that the synergy still works either way.

I love Eravin, he's a great Helldiver, so I was really excited to pop into his stream to see him collabing with you. The two of you are two of the few Helldiver content creators worth watching these days. Great video.

Microwave party YAYYYYYY!!!

Yeah right, every other rando diver these days just want to be their own heroes, never any coordination aside from maybe splitting up into twos. But most of the time you just have some jackass going off on their own thinking they're helping the rest of the team by clearing nests by themselves, only to die and be sent miles away from where they were.

I think you’re misinterpreting the 350 DPS stat on the scythe. While not bashing on the scythe’s capabilities, it is among the lowest DPS values of primaries actually. Because the “damage” and “DPS” are of course different stats you need to do a little more math to determine the DPS of other weapons. Take for example the Sickle, which has 55 damage and a 750 fire rate. Multiply the two values, and then divide by 60 as its Rounds/minute to find DPS. You get 687.5. This is nearly DOUBLE the DPS of the Scythe. Understand that this is theoretical DPS.

Skittering scums. Haha

Subhanallah the lasers are fun

This will really fire up the army. They love those yellow crayons. Get a red one if you need some marines.

i once tried full laser loadout for a fun, and it turned out to be pretty good!

I'd really like the focus fire mod to affect all turrets not just mortars

My favorite shitpost loadout: lasers, lasers, and not enough lasers

That stream was ridiculous and this squad loadout in particular!

We did this and this with all electric weaps/strats~ Good times.

I’ve been running laser cannon over Sickle for weeks now, with Rover on bug planets. You can kill hive guards and brood commanders much faster if you hit them in the leg - the LAS-99 is awesome for playing “pull the legs off the bugs.” I may have to try the Scythe again - I went Sickle to have something more effective against Berserkers on Bot planets.

The scythe does not hit like a truck. It has half the dps of the sickle. It’s very precise though.
