EDIT: Note that there have been multiple patches since this video, and the Breaker, Railgun, and Shield Pack has been nerfed since. *Loadouts:* Armour: Light armour CE-74 Breaker Primary: SG-225 Breaker Secondary: P-19 Redeemer Grenade: G-10 Incendiary Stratagems: Eagle 500KG Bomb, Eagle Airstrike, Shield Pack, Railgun *Ship Upgrades:* Patriotic Admin Centre - reduced cooldown on Railgun and Shield Pack. Hangar - Additional Eagle 500KG bomb usage + rearm cooldown. Bridge - "Radar" to detect enemy presence helps you to avoid them, "Power Steering" allows you to land strategically during respawn. *Dealing with Bugs:* Small & Medium Bugs - I am using Breaker to help clear most medium bugs easily with the high damage and small bullet spread. Secondary can be used for the smaller bugs. The incendiary grenades allow me to cover more spots and spawn points, though not exactly sure how much damage the fire does, but any tick damage is useful. Chargers & Armoured Bugs - Rail gun works well against them. For chargers, 2 railgun shots to the leg breaks off the armour, and you can shoot the exposed part with the primary. Also, the railgun staggers it, giving you time to reposition. You can 1-shot the head of the armoured brown bug and the large spitters. Eagle airstrike also seems to work fine against them. Bile Titan - Eagle 500KG bomb can 1-shot the titan but requires very accurate positioning due to the small blast radius. With the "Hangar" ship upgrade, you get 2 uses per rearm, and each rearm is ~2 mins 30 seconds so you get quite a lot of uses as compared to Orbital stratagems. You can also stagger it with the rail gun or kill it off with ~10 shots to the head. Otherwise, just run away and you can lose the aggro. *Time Stamps:* 0:00 - Blitz: Search & Destroy 15:45 - Eradicate Terminids Swarm 24:50 - Launch ICBM 58:50 - Retrieve Valuable Data 1:24:45 - Purge Hatcheries 1:45:00 - Conduct Geological Survey (with commentary) 2:07:25 - Enable E-710 Extraction (with commentary) 2:41:30 - Emergency Evacuation (with commentary)
This is exactly how I solo Helldive. Sneaky in, run out. No need for unnecessary fights. Instead of the shield pack though I get the eagle cluster as well. All else is the same.
Yeah, seems to be the easiest way to do it considering there's a timer as well. Feels like I would've died so many times without the shield - will try that out next time! 😄
On defend area mission I often rock the laser backpack and just run around as it shreds all the little ones for me 😅 Otherwise I'm all in on the shield play
@@xD3viLz I didn't know that! Soon as I saw it stick on my shield, I would've run straight for the Titan, hoping my shield might protect me, if not I'd blow myself to bits and take the Titan along with me!
@@MisterVikter Haha yeah, offensive (red) stratagems drops at initial point of contact. But support (blue) stratagems will follow the laser if it is stuck on a bug or your shield.
I watched this video in time and managed to buy the same SE-74 armor 2 hours before the end of the session, now I can fight beetles in it. Now a new one has appeared there for super credits B-27 and FS-38.
When I watch some of these TH-camrs when they drop into a match, it shows them falling in the hellpod and then it cuts to it landing and you hopping out. Why does it skip the part where you control where it lands?
I’ve noticed that too, I was watching Tim the Tat man’s videos and noticed the same thing but it was weird cuz it was like so seamless with his face came, it didn’t look like his face came skipped ahead at all in order to sync with the game. I wonder what that’s all about.
There was so much tension leading up to the ICBM launch, and I was hoping you wouldn't kill the Titan before the launch, and when it launched it was so anticlimactic... I was hoping the physics would get weird and we'd see something crazy... Still a good run though
I did actually and I noticed an increase in spawn rates with about ~30% increase in kill counts with a similar playstyle. Video here if you are interested th-cam.com/video/53_vlqIfDLI/w-d-xo.html
Personally, I find that Railgun is a must have since it is the most effective weapon against armour. Eagle 500 KG bomb with the ship upgrades give you 2 shots per rearm (2mins 30s) which is great considering the number of bile titan you can get since it can 1-shot it if aimed right. The other two can vary depending on what you prefer, but I like the shield since it blocks bug hits and covers any mistakes that I make, and Eagle Airstrike can clear bug holes and also medium sized bugs easily.
I miss when the railgun stripped armor in to shots and could kill a bile titan with a few well shots to the face not anymore better off just running from them now if you got the garbagegun with you lol....that's what it is to me anyway.
You don't really have to do that since the strike will still target the point where it lands at 9:47 instead of where the laser is. Same when the stratagem laser gets stuck on a bug, it usually just hits the initial point of contact instead of the final position of the bug.
Yea, stealth and losing aggro is pretty much the way to go in solo. Trying to kill everything and all side objectives alone takes too much resources & time.

try defense mission set vs automaton next
especially the evacuation one
@@Sthrall Yeah I haven't played with automatons too much yet but will give them a try next.
Are the solo missions infinite if you finish them all on a planet do they reset????
I haven't seen this level of dedication to the cause before,,,
You bleed Democracy and shit Liberty

@@xD3viLzguard dog does good work on the run for the pesky hunters
This gameplay made me sub. They sing songs in your name back in Super Earth, Helldiver!
I would’ve lost it the moment I saw a 500kg stuck to my shield. What kinda luck it that 😂
😅 It scared me for a moment then I remember the offensive orbitals actually drops at the initial point of contact instead of following the laser.
@@xD3viLz I didn't know that! Soon as I saw it stick on my shield, I would've run straight for the Titan, hoping my shield might protect me, if not I'd blow myself to bits and take the Titan along with me!
@@MisterVikter Haha yeah, offensive (red) stratagems drops at initial point of contact. But support (blue) stratagems will follow the laser if it is stuck on a bug or your shield.
you can drop your shield and it drops the bomb, if anyone didn't know
Sorry to hear you’ve been bummed out recently, man. It’s okay to be critical though, means even more from a player who pretty much never complains
50:32 was anyone else hoping that the ICBM was going to launch the stuck Bile Titan into the sky when it took off? That would have been awesome. lol
Haha yes, I thought it might have that's why my camera was panned there, but sadly nothing happened.
Fell asleep in class, woke up to a helldiver spreading democracy.
I watched this video in time and managed to buy the same SE-74 armor 2 hours before the end of the session, now I can fight beetles in it. Now a new one has appeared there for super credits B-27 and FS-38.
Yeah I find the 2 extra nades pretty handy, especially with incendiary which can clear all the little annoying bugs quickly.
I fell asleep earrly and when i woke up this video was on the tv 3 hours in LOL
Gotta love how they corpse camp you. I've gone back half of a map after being called in by teammates and still had mobs sitting on my dropped items.
Yeah, sometimes I find them continuing hitting / aggro-ing the area where I died as well which is weird.
I was actually hoping that BT would launch with the Nuke or see some kind ragdoll effect from the launch lol, awesome gameplay though man props :D.
Hahaha yeah, I was expecting the same but sadly nothing happened. Thanks for watching!
This is me after 500 hours and 2 30mg Adderall!

Now that you've said it, I think I might have that a couple times before, but not too sure what is causing it.
@@stephensniff yeah just a little thing I’ve noticed with some of the videos on TH-cam. I thought they were cutting the video but apparently not.
There was so much tension leading up to the ICBM launch, and I was hoping you wouldn't kill the Titan before the launch, and when it launched it was so anticlimactic... I was hoping the physics would get weird and we'd see something crazy... Still a good run though
Haha yeah, I left it hoping to see it getting launched or something, but sadly nothing happened!
1:43:15 Pelican-1 doing some direct democracy, yet you get the XP for it!
Good luck doing that now 😂 you should upload a video to see if that change impact actually solo play.
I did actually and I noticed an increase in spawn rates with about ~30% increase in kill counts with a similar playstyle. Video here if you are interested th-cam.com/video/53_vlqIfDLI/w-d-xo.html
@@xD3viLz perfect 🙏🏻 Im going to watch it now.
The true legend, the true hero, the true helldiver
Do you play on the default key bindings devil? Is it just the stratagems arrow keys you change?
Yea, I only changed the stratagems to arrows.
This makes me feel ashamed to do the grenade glitch...
18:50 something I hate about this game is having the actions tied to the animation you got that heal off but the game said otherwise.
Yeah the staggers are pretty annoying, especially when the small ones can also do that.
Good game play ❤
what is the most stratagems you recommend for solo player?
Personally, I find that Railgun is a must have since it is the most effective weapon against armour. Eagle 500 KG bomb with the ship upgrades give you 2 shots per rearm (2mins 30s) which is great considering the number of bile titan you can get since it can 1-shot it if aimed right. The other two can vary depending on what you prefer, but I like the shield since it blocks bug hits and covers any mistakes that I make, and Eagle Airstrike can clear bug holes and also medium sized bugs easily.
Is the mission glitching? I’ve completed the mission in impossible few times and get the same result, it’s also still at 0% liberated
Sorry, which mission are you referring to?
@@xD3viLz the new major order. It’s still at 0% liberated. On helldivers companion it states 2 years and 3 weeks expectancy to be completed lol
I miss when the railgun stripped armor in to shots and could kill a bile titan with a few well shots to the face not anymore better off just running from them now if you got the garbagegun with you lol....that's what it is to me anyway.
It was only able to kill titans because of a co-op bug, but yeah it definitely needs a buff right now compared to other support weapons.
The Breaker was way to good ^^
It was! I think it is still usable now, though we do have a lot more alternatives at the moment.
can you do one with automatons
Haven't played much with automatons yet but I'll give them a try when they are back.
And 3 months later lol
OK why is it when I use the shield the bile spit still hits me but urs blocks it?
If I'm not mistaken, it only blocks those spit partially (like when I'm dodging or getting out of the way), but not a direct hit.
Railgun is good for medium and small targets but chargers and bile titans are immune lol....
Yeah this was played before they nerfed it.
9:46, just drop the backpack on the ground. or go under the titan
You don't really have to do that since the strike will still target the point where it lands at 9:47 instead of where the laser is. Same when the stratagem laser gets stuck on a bug, it usually just hits the initial point of contact instead of the final position of the bug.
@@xD3viLz Soome strategems do land where the flare is (Supply drops, turrets, etc)
quite fun to kill friends with it.
I like it, i dont get the h8
What are you referring to? The railgun?
What FOV do you use?
Maxed out at 90
How is it that he has five stratagems
There were times where the game gave us an extra stratagem to use, like the mech when it was just released.
So in conclusion .. simply run away from everything. Nah I will play it the fun way.
Yea, stealth and losing aggro is pretty much the way to go in solo. Trying to kill everything and all side objectives alone takes too much resources & time.
