Thank you for the video! Super Earth thanks for your service

Dedicated bot diver wanting to share some tips> 1. You don't necessarily need all those clear options on your person. If your ally is loaded to the gills with AT weapons, then you can work on the swarm clear for them as you stick to them. Or if you're built like a sabateur and running around separate from your team, then those swarms are something to disengage from after finishing your task. 2. Medium armor pen is phenomenal and takes away a lot of the aim strictness that the bots otherwise demand. This can be overcome with a judicious application of bullets however. Even a weapon as borderline uncontrollable as the knight can still hit the head with the spray. 3. As Snow said, bot drops in 1 location are the best time to push into your location. Only exception is the detector towers that will drop on you even if there is a bot drop elsewhere. 4. Don't sleep on the turrets. Where an eagle airstrike can deal with a large group, a single rocket sentry can handle a factory strider and a bot drop or 2. Turret, enemy and your placement are key so it can be tricky. My go to build for the 40 minute bot missions. Primary: Exploding Crossbow (Primarily to blow open container doors and pop fabs in the vents) Secondary: Verdict (although I've been rocking the dagger since the Jet Brigade are out in force lately) Grenade: Stun (thermite is good too) Armor: Light Engineer armor (More stuns, but mainly for the Recoil control) Support Weapon: AMR (makes short work of most heavy targets. Learn the hipfire to take out the chainsaws and scout striders) Strategems: Orbital Laser (Can solo clear even a large outpost. Clear out the targets like Tanks or the laser will burn itself out on the them and not hit the fabs. The factory walker is a complete no-go) Supply Pack (Lets you use the AMR as a primary, with the side benefit of a ton of Nades and Stims) Rocket Turret (As mentioned above can handle large packs and bot drops. Sometimes swap with strafing run)

Especially that last tip is a game changer!

As a bot diver I usually just take a Quasar and a liberator dog for support weapons then a 500kg (Very good if you get the upgrade to get 2 uses before the cooldown) and a orbital laser

Your introduction reminds me of an youtuber from 2016, i also gonna start to watch this video to see how great it is

What an amazing guide! Really like the principled approach rather than just regurgitating the current meta - will make this very useful even when balance inevitably changes with future patches!

Grenade Launcher + Supply Pack can carry you through most levels. For higher levels, bring titan-killers for your other strats. As a general rule though, Recoilless + 3 sentries will do any level just fine

I've put the bugs on the back burner for my entire career in hd2 (it's like 100k bots to 20k bugs) so this is the perfect vid for me.

Do you have braces?

Keep in mind, if you don’t wanna use the grenade pistol you can use frag grenades for fabricators due to the 5 grenades you get

This is an amazing video :) So much effort went into it too! :D <3

This is such a well made video, i hope you get some more subs very soon man.

Gotta say the laz scythe is actually pretty good as well. Especially against the jet brigade since it can easily detonate the jumpacks on the jet troops.

As a bot diver, this video was incredibly helpful as i always find myself struggling against the bugs and despite what most people say i actually dont like the flamethrowers against the bugs because of how close they get to me. My personal favorite build for bugs is the medium medic armor, with the breaker spray and pray, the senator, and incendiary impact grenades. For the stratagems, i tend to bring the 500 kg, the orbital rail cannon strike, the heavy machine gun, and the supply pack.

Thanks, man. I’m gonna be getting a Steam Deck, and I’ll finally be able to spread Managed Democracy, so this was really helpful.

I just wanted to say at the roughly 20 second mark wher ethe climax of the song hits and the bomb goes off was perfectly timed! And it cought me off guard how well timed it was.

Parden my language but I think these CLANKERS deserve a mission where you activate an emp

Love it! So useful and plus a good dose of humour! 👍🏻

I'm not fighting bots until high command orders us some proper armor and vehicles.

Great video! And super well edited! As someone with over 600 hours I still learned something

3:55 Stratagems

Nice, a new series. Btw i think the left archer didn't produce any coin because there's no tall grass for the bunny to spawn. You could expand by mark a tree with a coin so the builder could chop it down, try chopping in the left maybe after a tree or two has been chopped the tall grass would be spawned. Sorry for a long comment though

The autocannon has become incredibly powerful against bots, to the point of being almost OP in my opinion. Alphet for pinpointing medium/heavy enemies (you can one shot if skilled, otherwise three quick hits almost anywhere on body will down them, with added bonus of brief stagger on hit which is great against heavy devs), flak for mindless "shoot in that general area to do damage". And since bots keep their distance generally, you dont have to worry about knocking yourself out when the flak erupts

When doing the command bunker missions, an Orbital Laser is the most consistent way I've found of destroying them. For primaries, I prefer the JAR-5 Dominator and the R-36CS Diligence Counter Sniper. The JAR-5 comes with the very nice bonus of being able to stagger enemies like Berserkers. On any difficulty higher than 6, you're going to need a consistent way to deal with gunships. I'd recommend the AC-8 Autocannon, the RS-422 Railgun, or the APW-1 Anti-Material Rifle. The PLAS-101 Purifier and the CB-9 Exploding Crossbow can also serve this purpose although the latter of the two can be tricky to aim. Also, it's worth noting that while Orbital Napalm Barrage can deal a lot of damage, it is incapable of destroying fabricators like the 120mm and 380mm HE Barrages can.

I find the Scythe is great for doing "headshot" damage to devastator's because it's easy to aim and see where your hitting.

EVERYONE THAT WATCHED THIS, HOP ON VERNEN WALLS ASAP WE MUST DEFEND THE SPACE STATION

amazing episode❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for the really good video I’ve been playing against bots with my brother and it’s been fun but every time we play it’s like a damn warzone lol

This video was amazing, very succinct and to the point. Could you make one for bugs? I didn't find one in the Helldivers 2 playlist. Also, how the heck do you only have 141 subscribers with this degree of quality content?

The Ministry of Training orders you to produce more of these videos for critical upskilling. For Democracy. For Liberty.

Nice video, but I say that on bot missions level 8 and above there should be atleast one recoiless which i think is better than the spear

great video. 😊

As a certified Level 10 Bot diver, most of this video is amazing for newcomers. Such as using thermites to deal with tanks, and directing bot drops. However, I would recommend the orbital laser over the barrages, as they require great stratagem discipline to use correctly, while the laser is just a panic button that does everything. Additionally, I would tell new players to use the Recoilless Rifle over the spear when dealing with factory striders, due to having precise control over the one shot eye shot. It also serves as a personal “Delete Stick” one shorting hulks *anywhere*

But the slugger has range and medium armor penetration too

6:12 This is a great example of a well written script for a video essayist. Im so tired of people whos only job it is to talk being entirely unable to create coherent, correct and captivating scripts. The way you word this is more entertaining than was necessary to convey the information and it makes it fun to listen to. The simple trick of reusing the exact same wording in another context or in reference to another concept is such an easy but effective way to spice up a video. My bar is pretty low at this point and you certainly cleared it, well done.

Good info here. I've settled on a flexible load out for bots that can run and gun or bunker down as needed. Recoilless, Rocket Turret, MG Turret, Eagle Straifing Run, with medium explosive resist armor, JAR-5 Dominator, Verdict pistol, and either stun or gas grenades. Can handle anything from long to mid ranges and can bunker down for bot drops where I shoot the transports out of the sky. Bots got real easy after that. Love vids like this as it explains the why of what you take. Keep it up.

We need more simple yet effective videos like this, Amazing work with this Hope we get a terminids guide as well

really like your gameplay and quality. good job, keep it up :)

I love this video, you made it so much nicer than most by giving a verity of options so people can have their own fun instead of saying “USe mEtA BulD ONly THEsE ThING” thanks so much man, sub def deserved ❤

Very well done!

How do you only have -108- 109 subs? You're making top-notch content here!

WRONG, Constitution Rifles are the only way

Great breakdown for the younglings. From a general sense I would just re-emphasize Cover is your best friend. At low levels you can afford to be out in the open gunning down enemies - at higher levels that will make you a pincushion!

Another underrated method is flanking and terrian. If you see a big terrian feature use it to reposition to flank an enemy contact. Stick to teams of two, one is team member is shooting drawing agro, one is maneuvering to hit the contact from the side. Rinse and repeat till the bots believe in the power of trickle down economics

Helldivers recommends fun

I'm level 114 and this helped me a lot because I forgor how to play

The recoiless rifle can take care of factory striders really easily in one shot if hitting the left eye, and it looks cool
