Helldivers 2 - This Commando + E.A.T Combo Is Incredibly Good.. (Solo, Helldive Difficulty)

[@phasmadark7322]

What’s pretty nice about the new module that calls your support weapons down faster is that it becomes MUCH easier to weaponize the drop pod to kill things such as bile titans and chargers, pairs well with SW with a fairly low cooldown such as the EAT or Commando

Protip: You can save your stratagem calls by tapping your Ctrl (keyboard) or Left Bumper (controller). I've been doing this for ages for when I need to save my stratagems or if I accidentally do the wrong code.

[@kero6016]

That is a nice tip, either that or change to a weapon, but I would like that you didn't drop the stratagem when you get pushed away by a charger or any kind of attack that has knockback :/

[@jmnero4447]

Arc thrower nerfs never made sense to me as someone who never even used it. It was my brothers favourite weapon and now I don’t get to play with him cause he feels the same the railgunners did and dropped the game, dope job arrowhead

[@judyfps5059]

Your brother needs to try some variety. This game isn’t about using one thing over and over and over. Variety is the spice of life man.

[@uncleulysses2328]

@@judyfps5059 he played with every weapon bud. His favourite was taken from him there is nothing wrong with preferring to use your favourite weapon lmfao variety doesn’t mean shit when you can no longer use what you enjoy. The AC nerds would have a shit fit if the same happened to them

[@rajtanna]

@@uncleulysses2328 then I'd say this game isn't for him. The whole point of playing this game again and again is the variety it gives when using different weapons. You get new scenarios , new way to play the game , new strats.

[@cuba8591]

Yes, variety is nice. I try to switch my style but unfortunately the arc thrower is not really as enjoyable like it was before. they need to buff the arc thrower but thanks to the arc shotgun I do not miss the arc thrower lol

[@touyang7172]

It was slap titan across the map due to the ps5 glitch and can tank hulk like small fry

[@lenaistalar8032]

I've recently run the airburst launcher again, especially in Hatchery missions. The feeling when you oneshot one of the egg objectives is amazing xD
Edit: I've changed the keybindings for the weapon functions menu to my arrow keys, same as the stratagems. So much more intuitive than scrolling mousewheels and stuff. At least for me.

[@estebanmoraga3126]

Imma try this

[@etuanno]

Airburst is fun, but very dangerous. I like it to soften up enemy groups.

[@unclefungus2011]

Since you have all those launchers to call down, I'm surprised you never stick them to the face of the chargers you're going to use them on. It's great fun to take them out with the actual hellpod 😄

[@c-valueenigma4977]

Might be wrong but you don't need to turn off laserguide to have it stop being laser guided. Usually you can just swap weapons and the moment you swap it turns off laser guided.

[@adeadfishdied]

Just stop aiming and it stops tracking. The laser is only active while aiming.

[@BalgaBear]

I love that RNG, you had a stalker lair, shrieker nests, constant behemoth chargers and bile titans.
Yet I've seen missions where someone might get 1 Bile titan and a few Chargers in the entire thing.

[@judyfps5059]

Had the same thing earlier today. 4 missions in a row with minimal heavy enemies and the next one after that was SWAAAAAAMPED with heavies and 2 stalker nest objectives

[@Lu-ng3oq]

You can unselect a stratagem throw by just pressing Ctrl again, which will reopen the menu to select. At that point release Ctrl and you will go back to your primary without throwing. This only works if you're not holding right click to aim the throw

[@Gamer-jv8uv]

This loadout would probably be absolutely mental with the new ship module with insta weapon drops

[@Martin-yo8wh]

this doesn't work for me...

[@steff7645]

for me it does. Instant is still 4 seconds or 6 seconds with call in time debuff.

[@ChrisRWitt]

You can rebind your R menu keys in the settings. I have all 4 directions on my mouse wheel. Scroll up, scroll down, tilt left, tilt right.

[@ThereWasATime]

That was pretty amazing to watch!

[@codyhaitch758]

That combo of SEAF artillery with the napalm right after was beautiful.

[@Gabu_Dono]

If you move forward while firing the EAT or Commando, it does more damage (1 point more, to be exact). This can sometimes make the difference between 2 shots and 3 shots to down a foe.

[@etuanno]

Yep, against charger behemoths you can take out the leg armor with one shot. Then shred it with the shotgun.

[@xonxt]

2:30 well to be fair, the Commando has 4 shots, and it kills a Charger with 2. So, if you, for example, have two Chargers running around, you can kill both.
And the exact same is true for the EAT: it one-shots a Charger, and you have two of those, so the end-result is the same.
Only in this situation, since the Commando has a 120s cooldown, versus the 60s of the EAT, it actually becomes less viable in a tight situation when you e.g. have three or four chargers.

[@damienmcdonald7610]

Against 3 or 4 chargers yes but in that situation with 2 you have the advantage of not needing to pick up another weapon. I think they're both highly effective and more down to personal preference against bugs, against bots the demolition value of the commando puts it a tier above

[@Fourger14]

Remap your inputs for changing weapon settings to something that you don't also use for shooting to avoid that annoying glitch you suffered with the commando. Good gameplay as always.

[@_jarz]

Yo love your videos takibo! Been watching you from the start and me and my buds were wondering if you could a face reveal, If you don’t that’s totally cool and keep making awesome helldivers content man

[@Goldilocks7O7]

The airburst should honestly be an expendable weapon drop, as it sits it just isn’t that good of a support weapon because it takes up a backpack slot and takes half a decade to reload, but if you got two quick shots every 60 seconds it would be incredible alongside an EAT or commando.

[@ooooooooofffffffff3225]

My build is similar
Primary - Blitzer
Secondary - shotgun (charge the barrel can 1 shot stalker)
Nade - stuns or impact incendiary
Stratagems
Commando - for bile titans 2-3 shot mostly if you get direct hit
Eat 17 - for charger and other things like spore ect
Shield generator bag pack for extra defence or jump pack for speed
And lastly
Machine gun turret or something of your choice emp strike is good if you have incendiary nade. Your choice

Just yesterday I died so many times because in a heated situation, I was being too quick with my button presses. The game really isn't made well in that sense. I play the best when I'm calm and wait when it's appropriate to press the next button.
I do hope they improve on this because it would raise the skill ceiling by letting us become quicker by learning sequences and timings.

[@Mike-ny2cq]

8:11 bro praying a bile titan tries him😭🙏🏾

[@ironheadtheotaku3983]

Stalkers have head hitboxes which have 175 hp and 1 armor, and 0% durability, so with a clean shot you can one-hit them with weapons like Dominator or Slugger. With peak physique armor hitting their heads with Dominator is actually pretty consistent. However it can be hard to say if you hit a head or torso, cause first frames of stalker's death animation are pretty similar to a stagger animation

[@benniebees]

26:10 The arc thrower can finish off a big charger head with 4 shots after you've hit it with anti tank. (railgun does the same with 3). Big chargers were for sure a bit of a nerf to the arc thrower but it makes you run it with AT more.

[@Kira-qc4qi]

7:08 You can put away a strategem after activating it dude. I play on controller and just switch weapon, but i think maybe press the strategem meenu button (CTRL) also to put it away

[@BalgaBear]

Gotta just be moving toward the charger, because physics.

[@midend]

U need to be moving forward in any way, because it lacks 1 damage from the falloff, and somehow moving forward adds 1 to that damage falloff which makes it do enough damage to break the leg

[@liammiller4093]

Where the new vids at takibo?

[@randallsanchez3161]

Arc vs breaker. I have to spend half of my mag or more depending on the range to kill a brood commander with the breaker. Meanwhile the Arc cracks open the head in 2 or 3 shots without expending ammo. Breaker is better at taking out large groups but lacks the armor pen to deal with anything beyond a warrior. If it wasn't for the absurd number of Chargers that spawn you would likely see it being used more often.

[@ntomnia585]

I usually start at extraction as well to leave a supply drop for when you extract (solo at least). Another reason, for bots, it sucks to complete your mission only to arrive at extraction with a jammer, artillery, or anti-air active nearby. With the spawns increased at mission completion, that can be a lot of trouble having to deal with those, so I clear them first near extraction.

[@simonphoenix3789]

the introduction of charger behemoths makes the EAT much less powerful compared to the commando, since both of them now require two shots but one can fire four times. still, i hope they don't go nerfing the commando because of that. It still has plenty of drawbacks, as it requires two shots for regular chargers unlike the EAT. Also, I wish they would give a proper reticle for the EAT, recoilless and grenade launcher that allows you to account for the drop.

[@katemc516]

i wish we had a alternative to the breaker incendiary everyone and their mother is using it. been trying to go eruptor or crossbow

[@etuanno]

Eruptor is just not as good, it would need a bit more splash dmg radius to be good.
Because with 30 shots you just don't have enough ammo. With the previous double ammo, it would be fine, but with the current amount it's just not enough.
The tenderizer is usable too.

[@Psyko_Monk3y]

Swapping guided/non-guided should be right click because it's a firing mode.

[@andrewbowman4012]

Idk why you think it’s guarded when it’s spewing, if you headshot it while it’s spewing it’s weaker, I’ve killed more BTs in less shots with an open mouth than closed, makes sense too.

[@oogalook]

Ok, help me out: It's my impression that, when you're fighting bugs, you *really should stay and fight until they're all dead* rather than running to the next objective. I feel like you can never really "get away" since the bugs are fast and call more reinforcements constantly. Do you guys agree?
For context I have a brother who is great at Bots missions but refuses to play bugs, and I constantly find him getting taken down by hunters while trying to run away. He hates hunters so much it's basically his whole reason to refuse bug missions.

[@devincicrashjk]

You can put stragim back by slecting a different weapon.
So you can run with it cocked and switch back to breaker if u dont need it.
