Clone commander?

We can't stop winning!

Waiting 3 minutes before calling in the resupply while on 0 stims, primary ammo, and support ammo is insane. Good job for living that long though.

For delta squad

Skins the devs could license and charge $10 per, and people would buy. 1.) Halo. ODST, masterchief, etc.. 2.) STAR WARS. As shown here. Commandos, storm troopers, 501st clone troopers, etc.. 3.) War hammer. 4.) Starship Troopers. Will the devs do any of this? I personally think the devs are incompetent, so its unlikely. The current armor skins were have look so generic and uninteresting. Their player base dropped off by 90%, and their retention is so bad. Capping every reward, most players already unlocked everything. im sure they'll do something when their playerbase is sitting at 1%

Excellent

I've always said it but extraction is optional. Completing the objective is not

I humbly request a shorter cape, on the nature of... well I don't want my cape setting off any more landmines gosh dang it!

This makes me want to be able to randomize the language of each helldiver that drops on top of the other randomization

Why does Japanese voiced helldivers reminds me of Battlefield V…

I do this every time in my solos. Extraction is least priority

Bro, get the heavy Machine gun. It's even more bad ass haha

What a great final with awesome background music!

The Samurai Battalion has arrived 🫡

Nice gameplay! What warbonds to u have?

I literally just loaded into a diff 10 and we are all running different mg types execpt the person running expendables

Wow! Just... wow!💪

The fact that crossbow can EAT and CHEW any unit for breakfast when you need to actually aim - that is the problem And I'd say it's not a crossbow problem. It's more about "durable damage something something" Because really. 1 crossbow "mag" is enough to wipe out 20+ enemies if they are walking in groups. And it's a primary one-handed😂

I don’t think a single extra kill is really the big argument you think it is for an MG, but it’s not as bad as he exaggerates it is. Still not great though.

Stalwart = what a lot of players think primaries should be. Semi-viable on high difficulties, better against bugs. Aim for the mouths or legs. Hipfire to clear trash mobs. MG-43 = every medium and small enemy is your feast. Viable on any difficulty and both factions. Get behind chargers and tanks to assplode them in seconds. Hipfire to clear most mobs. HMG-206 = instakill mediums, prey upon the heavies. The jack-of-all-trades, destroyer of shrieker nests and gunships. Hipfire upward to neuter bile titans (and rapidly kill them), or rapidly eviscerate factory striders. Headshot hulks or blow off their arms and legs rapidly. All bot AA and mortars and bunker turrets will face your wrath. Heavy cannon turrets tremble when you see their heatsinks. The only things that kill chargers faster are flamethrowers and dedicated anti-tank. You are both the chaff clear AND anti-air AND pinch hitter against all elites and heavies.

I've taken MGs into level 10 missions since we've gotten the ammo buff. Especially against bugs really useful. Strap a Supply backpack on and you are gucchi for ammo. Bayonet is also really fun with it

Okay, so some math to help add to this point? The MG-43 deals 90dmg/23d-dmg, the head armor of a Bile Spewer has 0% durability and is AV-3, matching with an equivalent AP-3 means we deal 65% damage = 58.5dmg (rounds down iirc) A Bile Spewer's head health is 300hp meaning it takes a minimum of 6rnds to kill, or 3.4% of your box assuming perfect accuracy. The reason why this may not feel soo consistent is probably because the Bile Spewer actually has two distinct hitboxes for its head, the unarmored mouth and the forehead with armor plates, so while its bobbing around? Shots may be landing between each hitbox and are adding to one's overall BTK. Still? The unarmored mouth is 300hp so it takes 4 shots from the MG-43, assuming 50% accuracy? One could potentially expend up to 20rnds before killing a Bile Spewer, only 11.4% of the MG's box. The ⅓ value may be coming from the fact that they're hitting the large fleshy exposed butt/abdomen? Which has 90% durability and only deals 60% of damage to the Spewers main HP, so not only would the MG's damage go down to 29dmg? It's further nerfed down to 17dmg and needs to burn through 750hp... This would take 45rnds which is 25.7% of the MG-43's total box... We're still short of a ⅓ even in the worse case scenario...

3:01 to be fair your comparison is with a primary incendiary shotgun who’s main purpose is to let the enemies burn to death over time rather than outputting upfront damage, you just shot them before they died.

Stalwart-Squad assemble

Very cinematic, this game really deserves more music variety! Also would be nice to include the music used in the description.

99% of the people on discord are morons anyway

>Calls MG belts "clips" Opinion rejected

I bring MGs all the time to both fronts specifically for AD clear and it makes a large different when everyone else is rocking AT. We both do our jobs and the missions goes smoothly. I'll take the machine gun over the autocannon as a perfectly balanced weapons any day.

I prefer stalwart on bugs because of the reload letting me be a bit more agressive with my positioning. (Yes I run through bug hoards on difficulty 10 despite being a stealth diver on bots FITE ME). While MGs are technically less optimal than some other options (last I remember) they are still really REALLY GOOD (and fun).

I agree with the cardboard box guy mostly. Although I loath the HMG and will take the MG43 on bots over it and just pair it with a commando and HMGE instead(because I just hate how the HMG feels and looks and plays and I’d rather take two strategems that are fun for me over one that I loath but could work lol). Stalwart is doable on bots, but I want stagger on bot side over aiming for weak points. I’ll more often take stalwart over MG43 on bugs for chaff clearing, but it also depends on the seed and environment. Plus loadout mood. If I jetpack, I’ll crossbow and stalwart. If I supply pack, I’ll inc breaker and MG43. If it’s a jungle planet I almost always MG43 though just because it shreds in close quarters very quickly. It just depends essentially, but yeah lol. People who say the stalwart or MG43 are bad just don’t know

i see the exact primary and secondary you're running and i need no further myths debunking. i am already locked in

I personally main the flamethrower, but I think the MG is fine. On the off chance I pack it on diff 10, I basically generate a constant killzone around the squad, it's not a hard weapon to use.

Awakening ost is goated

I didnt even know you could take out spore spewers with an mg, thats awesome! Personally my favorite of the three is the HMG, really good for when you need something riddled with 12.5 mm swiss cheese holes, asap The only actual complaint that I can think of is that it's not too great against bile titans with the ricochet, small target, constant repositioning, general chaos, and ammo consumption, but I'm sure my three squadmates all running anti-tank launchers and my backup rail cannon strike will take care of it lol

I love people who just "shoot at the places where it has no armor" and thinking it will deal high DPS to the target. Well, HD2 doesn't work like that, and it's not like a target has a single health pool, they have multiple (for each part). Some parts will trigger kill event or bleeding event once destroyed (like the head or charger's stomach, for instances). So different enemies have different way to engage, for efficient kills. I bet that discord user shot at the big green stomach, the hit marker sure will show red mark, indicates "full damage, no armor", but that stomach has like the second highest HP pool ever among the bug faction. I guess people don't really use MG and HMG due to the stationary reload. But I absolutely love HMG in bot, since HMG can rub the Factory Strider's underbelly so hard that they get BSOD.

His argument already lost all validity when he said "clip"

I love the MG for bugs I almost always us MG / gatling barrage / MG turret / and liberator guard dog to get as many bullets flying as possible. Almost always get +500 kills at the end.

If i was a bug or bot I would be absolutely furious that a sniper can heal 200 meters away

Shrimply change stance positions to reduce spread and shoot in bursts and actually move the right stick or mouse 🤷

Maybe include data from the wiki on the stats of armored bile spewers and the mg for extra added effect paper math and feild demonstrations go hand in hand after all

what a snipe save with that stim shot

the shot democracy would be proud of

Nice shot soldier

Glad to see everyone doing their part

Don't the bots sound a bit different? I think the bots might also speak japanese

Damn, that one base was an actual war. Respect and good job diver o7

Music is SPOT ON!

Ive never thought of changing the language, i gotta try it. It makes so much sense that all nations are united under super earth

Developers should make that extracted people do not count in stars ranking, because how many mission clutches there were, mine or others, were we have done everything for freedom and it just isn't outstanding patriotism? Btw nice clutch, bro!

Damn, need to set my voiceovers to Japanese
