As a lover of the AMR myself, I would love to see an AMR vs illuminate guide.

I absolutely love this and the previous video. I'm new to the game and really enjoy in depth content on specific weapons like this. I could easily see the AMR being written off as some cringe 'Sniper king' weapon but the fact that it's actually legitimately fantastic in skilled hands and can deal with everything has made me totally fall in love with this playstyle. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce these guides. Brilliant content. Also be confident in your speaking style, you didn't come across as ranting or stumble over yourself at all like you said at the end of the last video. Compared to a lot of professional 'TH-camrs' you are actually a much more skillful orator and far less annoying to listen to.

You've cemented my desire to be a AMR main. 4 tapping Harvesters in the leg joint at long distance feels so good to pull off. Hard to consistently for me, yet. But I've only been playing for 25 hours. Edit: If you're reading this, an AMR guide vs the Illuminate would be amazing. Maybe when the whole faction arrives.

Helldiver, since the Illuminate have arrived on Calypso, I assume you have been using the AMR against them as well. Do you have any tips and tricks for your fellow Helldivers against all enemy Illuminate types?

Would love to hear your thoughts on AMR vs illuminates. So far it seems to me, Overseers go down in one headshot. Jetpack overseers can be one shot in the jetpack as well. Harvesters seems to go down fastest with leg joint shots.

The new reprimand is i think the best primary to pair with AMR

Great guide. Ive just been trying out the AMR on super helldive and your tips have made all the difference. I was struggling with ammo a lot as i was using the jetpack for mobility. Gaining highground consistently is great, but no substitute for the massive ammo boost. I dont have much light armour unlocked sadly, ibe been using the stealth passive but it doesnt really seem to do a lot

I put a small dot of tape on my 75 inch tv so its easier to shoot unscoped. It has amazing accuracy even when not looking down scope.

Supply pack + railgun vs supply pack + AMR - if you want a scope use amr, but the railgun deletes medium bots 1 shot in unsafe mode

Your content is great!! I was quite happy about the update video and would really appreciate another one - of course real life goes first but I'm really looking forward for more, cause you are doing a damn good job - it's entertaining and helpful. Pretty excited now testing out your builds, looks like a lot of fun!❤

i love AMR, i do SMG, ballistic shield/pummeler OR AMR/pummeler, ammopack, EMP Mortar against bots. (and some mission depening strategems).

I disagree with your very first point @4:52 about "zoom" Firstly, its not a percentage of zoom, its a range. So if you are engaging targets up close, you should drop it to 50 meters. If you are sniping on the other side of the map, go up to 200 meters (not percent). Use 100 meters for mid range engagements. It works just like the DCS*, but with way more recoil and less accuracy. Leaving it at 200 is silly, unless you are planning to camp on top of a rock for the whole mission. So yeah, change the range based off where the enemy is. With a few minutes of practice its the best way to use marksman rifles in this game.

This is exactly what I was looking for man, good stuff.

About bugs... If you have to bring eats for heavy bugs, and (17:22) your weakness is small bugs... whats the point? I really like the AMR but I cant find any good reason to use it. You say you like consistency, and it is, its consistently mediocre, even in the gameplay you show you struggle killing titans and chargers, you can kill them but the ammount of time you waste with them is the reason you get constantly overrun by the smaller enemies. The only niche it fills its oneshoting commanders heads, but the railgun and the autocannon can also do it, the railgun is better against heavies and the autocannon is better in general, can close bugholes and doesnt struggle against chaff due to the flack rounds. And none of those require the supply backpack to be used. The heavy machinegun also struggles against big enemies but works a lot better against small and medium bugs.

Thank you for blessing us once again with your insight

After the update, I’ve found that hitting Devastators and Berserkers in the pelvic region seems to usually split them in half and take them out instantly. Hitting all bots in the legs seems to also take them out much quicker than dumping multiple rounds into their bodies, but it’s trickier to hit them unless they’re standing still. Great vid though. Love the AMR

I want to like the AMR. Especially since I gravitate to sniper playstyle. Usually Im using the DCS. I'm gonna give the AMR another go and see if I can make it work.

Best shotgun in the game 😂

This thing slaps bugs now too. Don’t even have to fully unload a mag into the cloaca of a charger anymore, 4 shots kills them clean

I enjoyed your whole video. Thanks

What difficulty level do you play on

Ravioli! Aye, howyadoin? Thanks for the video. Love it.

AMR + flamethrower + thermite destroys bugs

Can someone explain y i should use the amr over the railgun? For bugs specifically

For bugs, AMR for close range and super long range, break and spray for removing hordes, and something else to take out heavies. People laugh when I bring it on bugs but ended up getting no deaths and most kills.

Cannon turrets take 5 AMR shots. They probably buffed it? What do you people bring with the AMR? I usually struggle with Factory Striders. Others are fine, even tanks go down with 1 full clip but striders always give me problems

AMR users we are rising

I am sown to hear more from you. Excited for your new and updated buffdivers AMR tip video!

After your two videos and the recent patches I am a total based and AMRpilled convert when fighting Bots.

AMR and Railgun are weirdly comparable now. -450 vs 600 damage -both ~35% durable (180 vs 225) -AP5 vs AP4 means railgun does exactly 2x as much damage on AV4 targets (300 vs 600) -almost exactly half as much reserve ammo (42 vs 20) Differences obviously being overcharge involvement, reloading (can't magdump with the railgun sadly), 3rd person crosshair, scope, shooting AV5 (bad idea anyway with railgun, and just rare to even exist now). But on safe mode, or more often unsafe mode and firing very early, a lot of the time it really just feels like you're firing two AMR bullets at once with the option to overcharge for as many as 4.5. Even the non-AV4 targets, a lot of the time you hit a 2->1 breakpoint with the extra damage; Devastator chests or backpacks, Strider faceplates, gunship engines (some overcharge) and factory miniguns (some overcharge). Magdumping, being able to oneshot medium targets with precision, and just outright not needing to charge at all, still probably make AMR a better gun in the most skilled hands. But it's nice that there's now a dynamic of two similarly-capable but still very distinct weapons for the "precision support weapon with supply pack abuse" role. The first time I can think of where a weapon sidegrade has legitimately worked in HD2. Compared to cases like RR vs SPEAR, or Breaker-I vs Breaker-S&P, or Slugger vs Dominator, where weapons are meant to do the same broad thing but one has been clearly better in every patch.

Awesome job on the AMR, very detailed and helpful videos. Watched both as well as liked both and absolutely subbed. Look forward to watching your other videos on helldivers.

if i can kill an impaler with my punisher in only a handful of shots, why does the AMR not work? are u hitting it in the right spot? 2 mags seems excessive for such a high damage weapon

I’ve been looking for so many amr guides and you’re the only one who had an extensive guide on it

any changes to the loadout after the big ass patch? like isn't the plasma punisher worse now? also, great video, glad to see a fellow AMR enjoyer. Just some feedback: would be nice to have timestamps in the video :)

crossbow takes 2 shots to the bum of behemoth. does bonus damage to exposed flesh like impaler leg.

Pfft

Found this video and the one before it trying to find more info on the AMR just out of curiosity. I wanted to switch things up while fighting bots this past week so I decided to take heavy armor with fortified skill and a ballistic shield paired with the explosive crossbow (which is one handed apparently, which I wasn't aware of). I had a good time when I could go into bases with the shield up can be impervious to just about everything short of rockets and cannons, but I found myself falling behind my PUG teammates when moving between objectives. On a whim, I decided to try adding the AMR to my loadout just for when they inevitably aggravate every patrol they see and using the crossbow was too unwieldly at the distance I found myself at. I was pleasantly surprised to discover its ability to one-shot rocket striders in the lower glacis (the pelvis below the actual enclosed space) and I even occasionally killed hulks in the eye by panic firing at their eye or shooting their heatsinks. Since I used the explosive crossbow or even the defender to deal with most other enemies I didn't run into many ammo problems. It was also very useful for destroying the miniguns on factory striders, rendering them pretty defenseless for my teammates to finish off. Even shooting those cannons on the command bunker was surprisingly effective, at a safe-ish distance even. It's interesting how differently you ended up playing it, using it almost like a primary weapon. I don't think my aim is quite at that level so I'll probably stick with the ballistic shield+defender/crossbow and AMR combo for bots for the foreseeable future.

The buffed Arc Blitzer is a godsend for bugs. That might pair nicely with the AMR

I started using the AMR recently and just realized it's really good. And then I discovered this video

Great vid again. Your tips still work great

Brother you really need to try crossbow and thermite with your build.

This is great stuff. Subscribed.

I really enjoyed this. Keep going my guy. Queued Pt 2

oh man, that low FPS....

I find the crossbow works great with the amr as it can take out fabricators and the bushwhacker as a secondary when im in close range. Plus the stagger of it is great for when you're dealing with a berserker charge.

Does eruptor work on cannon towers? Haven't tested but could Be a good combo. It can also kill Ann entirely group of small bots due to its aoe

AMR is stupid OP if u have a monitor where you can enable Virtual Aim Point. You can crap on all enemies without ADS and own the battle

I stand by my opinion that the AMR is better than the Railgun. AMR is just more reliable and has semi-auto capabilities

i just bring the crossbow and the stim pistol on bots all the utilty you can get
