My favorite railgun build for bots lately has been jump pack, the railgun (obviously), emancipator, and an eagle I pair it with the scorcher (for gunships and others), senator (cause I'm a fuckin cowboy) and impacts for closing down fabricators and destroying objectives and smaller enemies. It becomes a really neat gunslinging build, where you use your senator for most of the small guys, your railgun for the heavy hitters, and the scorcher as a supplement to the railgun, makes ammo a balancing act between all three guns very effectively and allows you to move around super quick and efficiently. And then if you need to rip ass you can call down an emancipator and get to work, just pay attention to your placement so you aren't sniped across the map by a cannon turret.
Loved the "cause I'm a fucking cowboy" part, haha. Like the well-rounded-ness of the build, especially the scorcher for the gunships. Loving the jump pack too. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@IntrusiveThot420 Not the original commenter, but I do agree that I typically find these videos more interesting/enjoyable than the solo helldive ones. IMO, it's primarily 2 things. The first is that I simply like seeing teamplay and how people deal with randoms, along with the banter and moments that happen, like S1's final stand at the research station in this video. I also just find the content more engaging in general, likely cause it's how I play, but all of this is totally personal preference. The other reason, and what I think OP was getting at here, is that a lot of those people who did solo helldive content early on were extremely harsh on other players and the game as a whole. I'm not saying you're like that, I took a look at your channel and you seem pretty chill. But while most of those creators have left for the next big game, they unfortunately soured that content for me and likely many others. Basically, just not my content, and the whiny creators in that space kind of ruined it for me anyways. Unfortunately, since my problems with it are personal, I can't really give anything specific in terms of improvement. But nothing against you, you seem to be doing well and I respect it. I even took a look at some of your videos (the 2 most recent as of typing) and honestly might continue watching, you do a good job explaining your thoughts and reasons behind things! Also, A FELLOW AC6 ENJOYER!
@@emeraldxgaming570 xD wow thanks for the kind comment! Yeah AC6 is a banger game. I think maybe I'll upload a pub match with commentary sometime soon then!
Interestingly this is the same setup that i use but for the bugs except with the tenderizer. If you use the rocket pods on a titan and get all 6 rockets to hit the head it takes like 6 unsafe railgun shots "but might need 1 or 2 more" Also for gunships. Try replacing the gatling barage for the HMG emplacement if you run this build again. It works surprisingly well!
So another railgun build I've been running has been: Medium Padded or Democracy Protects Dominator, Grenade Pistol, Stubs Railgun, Supply Pack, Rocket Sentry, Autocannon Sentry The dual sentries mean you can alternate and they just evicerate gunships. The turrets are very effective against Factory Striders as well, and if you get a big bot drop you can throw one off to the side to create heavy crossfire. A lot of fun.
Good stuff. There's something satisfying about one shotting a devastator with the rail gun. Also recently discovered the grenade launcher is pretty underrated for bots. I'm just not great at aiming it.
Appreciate it! Yeah the grenade launcher has always been a solid pick for me. I can't aim so well either, I just spam a lot into a group and it usually works well. I feel that it needs maybe one more extra mag. I blow through the 2 reserve mags pretty quickly. Thanks for checking out the video!
The Railgun is very enjoyable until Gunships start to spawn Edit: my favorite thing about Railgun with bots is that with the Un-Safe mode you can one shot Devastators with just aiming at the Torso (might not work sometimes from behind)
Really enjoy your videos, your guides have been super useful, i would like to see a video using either of the big artillery barrages, i never feel like i get a huge return on them, i.e. they clear some stuff but usually leave enough to not make it as valuable. P.S. i love your jet pack builds and it makes me want to try them.
Appreciate you checking out the videos and for your support! I personally haven't frequented the artillery barrages, same with the orbital laser, but for sure there will be a video on it when I take them on my dives. Thanks so much for tuning in!
Thanks! It looks really nice on planets with a lot of color like the one I was on. The visuals makes things feel more immersive. Thanks for checking out the video!
I just didn't see the operation modifier where there were gunships patrols active. A lot of the difficulty 9 missions have that "Gunship patrol" modifier on them. If they're not there, there's still a chance for gunship fabricators to be a side objective, but I feel a lot better bringing a railgun on those missions where the patrols aren't mentioned. Hope that explains the comment I made about the gunships in the video. Thanks for watching!
My experience is that the railgun sometimes doesn't shoot where I am aiming to. Very often right/left of the reddot. Can you confirm that? 21:17 for example.. right on the target, but miss while standing still.
I hear what you're saying and I agree. There are times when the ADS isn't as accurate as I feel like it should be. My shots are deviating slightly from where I'm trying to shoot at it. For me it either goes slightly or the side or below, never above the dot. Thanks for checking out the video!
I like you reinforce quickly seems like the way to do it to me. Anyone reading that waits to reinforce what is your reasoning ? Thanks for the videos Duder.
I think the AMR is better currently, especially on the bot front. The AMR is able to take out the factory strider/gunships/tanks/cannon turrets, which are things that the railgun struggles with. Thanks for checking out the video!
You're not tripping. You can shoulder swap while you aim. For me on PC it was one of my mouse buttons. Not sure exactly what the default button is. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
I swap shoulders using a button on my mouse. I don't know what the default button is for PC/PS5 but you should be able to find it and map it to something you prefer. Thanks for checking out the video!
Technically you can but it takes a lot of unsafe railgun shots on the same engine. Not sure how much but I’d personally not use the railgun as a gunship solution. Hope that helps and thanks for checking out the video!
Boring gun tbh Only good against devastators and hulks if you can snipe their eye. No other enemies. If you even try to use it against a tank/tower/dropship/GUNSHIP😂/fabricator/AA turret/Mortar/Bunker/Bunker GUNS EVEN - it will require your whole ammo stock and more. And btw hulks can be killed in their eye by many other support weapons. I just can't use weapon THIS narrowly NICHE when I can just take Autocannon, Commando or Spear and have much more fun Dunno what devs are thinking with this atrocious balance. No wonder people enjoy new Commando rocket launcher. It can take on anything, can be summoned fast if you lose it and it actually makes you feel somewhat powerful
"Railgun is still a beast against bots" - If you want something substantially worse and less flexible than the AMR, AC, Laser Cannon, HMG. Even the Eruptor, a primary, gives it a run for it's money.
@@adriankoch964 i feel like they can just take railgun "as is" and make it primary weapon AND STILL barely 15% or less players will regularily use it Not because of some "skill issue" how tryhards love to say. But just because how bad it feels to use. How unimpactful it is, how it can explode in your hands any time but offers you so miniscule output in return.
Rail gun is my new Fav vs Bots, it Smacks.. But it really needs a better scope, something with at least 25M zoom would be nice
I agree. It would be nice if it had a marksman-like scope such as the AMR or the marksman rifles. Thanks for checking out the video!
💯

Thank you for the gameplay. You are much more interesting to watch than all these "SOLO HELLDIVE ALL CLEAR NO DEATHS, HURR DURR" TH-camrs.
Appreciate the support and checking out the video! Looking to post more like these in the future!
sounds like someone who could never solo clear being a lil salty. Maybe enjoy one persons content without talking shit about others. not that hard.
Oh sheeit, I do videos like that sometimes. What don'tcha like about them?

So another railgun build I've been running has been:
Medium Padded or Democracy Protects
Dominator, Grenade Pistol, Stubs
Railgun, Supply Pack, Rocket Sentry, Autocannon Sentry
The dual sentries mean you can alternate and they just evicerate gunships.
The turrets are very effective against Factory Striders as well, and if you get a big bot drop you can throw one off to the side to create heavy crossfire.
A lot of fun.
Down to try this out. Multiple sentries in a single dive has been really fun to do lately for me. Thanks for checking out the video!
Super chill and informative gameplay, thank you!
Appreciate your kind words and thanks for checking out the video!
I love the railgun with bots, its a shame its so bad against gunships. I feel like it shouldn't be
Just grab a get an HMG emplacement
Good stuff. There's something satisfying about one shotting a devastator with the rail gun.
Also recently discovered the grenade launcher is pretty underrated for bots. I'm just not great at aiming it.

Try running a Autocannon Turret alongside the Railgun. It clears house with Factory Striders and Gunships.
would you say the autocannon turret is better than the rocket sentry?
finally someone that doesn't take it to a bug mission and then say it sucks
Omgoodness your system runs this game beautifully. It looks like a damn movie
Thanks! It looks really nice on planets with a lot of color like the one I was on. The visuals makes things feel more immersive. Thanks for checking out the video!
AC achieves basically the same as RG +ammo backpack. And it saves you 1 stratagem slot, Personally I feel the AC is better against devastators.
Without the extra stims though.
Railgun 2 shots gunships in the thrusters. Just need well placed shots
It’s bs that a railgun round can’t destroy a gunship thruster. Doesn’t even make sense.
wait.... there are planets with less gunships??? holy shit where? gunships literally made me quit the game for a week
I just didn't see the operation modifier where there were gunships patrols active. A lot of the difficulty 9 missions have that "Gunship patrol" modifier on them. If they're not there, there's still a chance for gunship fabricators to be a side objective, but I feel a lot better bringing a railgun on those missions where the patrols aren't mentioned.

your aim is insane with the railgun!

@@Wallbouncing Thanks man! Thought I am missing sth at first.
Hell yea the rail gun a beast still it’s awesome i use it all the time
Do the Eruptor next please!
Sure thing! Anything you want to see paired with it or just the Eruptor specifically? Thanks for checking out the video!
I want your experience with the weapons what it can do and what weapons would do best with it! But I run the verdict and heavy MG personally.
I like you reinforce quickly seems like the way to do it to me. Anyone reading that waits to reinforce what is your reasoning ? Thanks for the videos Duder.
Anytime! Thanks for checking out the video!
Is the AMR better then the current railgun?
I think the AMR is better currently, especially on the bot front. The AMR is able to take out the factory strider/gunships/tanks/cannon turrets, which are things that the railgun struggles with. Thanks for checking out the video!
wait you dont have to charge it as much anymore?
I swear I saw u switch shoulders or I might be trippen
It's a feature, check your keybinds if you're not sure how to do it, or google it.
You're not tripping. You can shoulder swap while you aim. For me on PC it was one of my mouse buttons. Not sure exactly what the default button is. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Been trying to figure that out forever. In the controller mapping ps5 says d-pad down hold. But only opens the wheel
How do you change arms in HD2
I swap shoulders using a button on my mouse. I don't know what the default button is for PC/PS5 but you should be able to find it and map it to something you prefer. Thanks for checking out the video!
Can it destroy gunship?
Technically you can but it takes a lot of unsafe railgun shots on the same engine. Not sure how much but I’d personally not use the railgun as a gunship solution. Hope that helps and thanks for checking out the video!
@@Wallbouncing ok thanks, do you carry any other gunship solution with this build?
Boring gun tbh
Only good against devastators and hulks if you can snipe their eye.
