- These are not Meta Loadouts!
Just some fun ideas I had and decided to share.
Some of them work really well, some of them definitely do not work.
I really enjoy exploring new ways to play the game and diversifying the loadouts of the team. Not everyone needs to bring in a rail cannon strike.

The "use more gun" loadout: Stalwart, Guard Dog (bullets), HMG Emplacement, Gatling Sentry
*Warning: may result in failure to kill heavies*
HMG shreds hulks when shooting at their eyes
"guys can you help me kill this heavy enemy, i literally can't damage it at all."
@@dudus9287 easier said than done. their head is very tiny, and they're usually moving a lot, and there's usually a bunch of other enemies around them, also the recoil on the machineguns makes it harder to aim precise shots.
nah what am i kidding, it's a skill issue lol.
@@manboy4720 it's hard on full auto that's why you gotta tap the hmg like a dmr
I find it helps if you aim below the head and let the recoil adjust it for you
You've already made a huge mistake in the first 10 seconds of the video. You are attempting to separate fun and meta when in the eyes of the balance team they are the same.
I would disagree. I have a load out that I can throw on that is the ‘meta build’ but I’m bored of it. I have had a lot more fun recently going with builds that are not “meta” or one man army builds, and I’ve been having a lot of fun doing that
There are plenty of builds that aren't meta but still surprisingly fun to use, for example the riot shied with the pummeler is by no means the best loadout but since I've recently started using that the game has gotten more immersive. I try to go the whole game without dying and I take scenarios with a different approach.
@@mystery785 yeessss. I noticed that playing as if each life is your last makes the game that much better and fun. It forces you to be creative
Because I don't trust team mates, I'd bring a 500kg for the bile titans
that's what I do
I still can’t understand why they changed the spawns and i seemingly can’t even trust my teammates to deal with them. I was in a 4 man 8 yesterday and it spawned about 7 bile titans and only 2 of us had 500kg so it was rough especially when it’s on cd.
I own a 500kg for home defense, just as the democracy officers intended
I’m almost lvl 100 and I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone kill a BT with the 500.
When i use the “Pyro” build, i normally go 500kg bomb, gas strike, flamethrower and ammo backpack, works pretty fine if you dont trust ur team mates c:
Grenade launcher is even more fun with a supply pack. Hold down reload and change the fire mode to full auto and congratulations, you’ve now become a 40 mm belt-fed automatic grenade launcher with legs!
(And with the supply pack you won’t run out of ammo really quickly)
I bring airstrike and 380 barrage too. Everything gets explosives.
It has full auto!?
@@reegitgud haha yessir
The sith lord loadout can be cooler with stun grenade, since force in SW can paralyze people and things
Yeah I fully intended to run the stun grenades but I forgot to.
"There is a turret for every scenario - Gatling gun for smaller enemies, Auto Cannon for bigger enemies, rockets for the biggest of enemies, and mortars for a group of enemies."
Autocannon, by itself, handles literally all these categories. It definitely does "the biggest of enemies" better than the rocket sentry. I don't even know why that thing exists. I've watched the rocket sentry fail to take out a regular-ass strider while the autocannon sentry literally soloed a factory strider.
Your know what WAS fun?
Eruptor/Staulwart/Eagle Cluster/Orbital Railgun
The new spawn rate and shrapnel removal have made this REALLY suck now. You were a pick fighter, looking for heavies and clearing tougher bugs and bots for the team. Just frustrating learning a gun and it gets changed.
I know, right man?
Anyway. DAMN YOU ALEXUS KRECHENKAV!!!!!!!😢😢
Was my favorite way to play still trying to find what i like playing now 😢
cry more. When all you do is play the "meta" you deserve the frustration of being forced to learn something new for the next "meta" Skilled players can make use of a plethora of loadouts.
Nothing about meta it was just fun which now they've nefed into the ground
@@Indubidably0 just words on the internet scrub. Just like the rest of us.
The BIG BOOM fun loadout:
Stratagems:
1. 500kg bomb
2. Walking barrage
3. 380mm orbital barrage
4. 120mm orbital barrage
Weapons:
1. Eruptor
2. Senator
3. Impact grenade
2. Grenade pistol*
@@HypnoticChronic1 very true but its a hard choice between big iron and big boom
@@derpythespy Understandable.
2:16 Just love that fire spread from incendiary Shotty. My fav weap. And Auto cannon.
I love running Pyromaniac but with Punisher and Jetpack , it just scratches my brain in the fun parts.
Same here. That was my exclusive until I unlocked the dominator
You just described the Mandalorian build! This is the way
The "That Quiet Guy" loadout:
Stratagems: 120mm HE barrage, 380mm HE barrage, Gatling barrage, mortar sentry[/EMP mortar sentry in more sane cases]
Primary: Literally anything.
Secondary: Literally anything.
Support: Whatever they find on the map, scavenge from fallen squadmates, or receive as a donation from squadmates.
Grenade: Contact explosive[/stun in more sane cases]
Armor: Any with engineering kit/medic perk[/servo assisted in more sane cases]
Helmet: Whatever goes with the armor
Cape: Whatever goes with the armor
Voice chat: none
Gameplay:
Throw orbital gatling at anything that moves on cooldown. Throw 120mm and 380mm at outposts. Throw 120 and gatling barrages at drops/breaches. Throw 380 on yourself and lay down. Throw mortar sentires on cooldown. Keep melee enemies away from teammates.
And never. Ever. Say. Anything.
I 100% am the pyromaniac. Though I often take orbital gas for extra warcrimes. Sometimes I take the jetpack, since it makes getting an aggressive position or a quick escape a touch easier, or the shield for more tankiness, as I rarely need the supply pack with that loadout.
My favorite is the EATR. Eagle Airstrike Target Recon. 500kg, Airstrike, 110, and either cluster or Napalm.
Scout armor, your choice of weaponry, but Marksman Rifle, SMG, or crossbow are fitting.
It’s possible to stealthily go clear nests or fabricators with all your short cooldown eagle strikes, and stay out of combat. If you’re spotted, run and disengage, until you loose them. Rinse and repeat until you clear all bug nests/bot outposts.
its just stupid to take more than 1 Eagle because it cooldowns are connected
@@Managarm1999 so fully upgraded Eagle you get about 2 500’s, 3 air strikes, 3 110’s, and 4-5 cluster or napalms, that can be called in about 10 seconds apart. Yes It’s not bad at all, until you have to rearm everything on a short 2 minute cooldown, but then you get another 10+stratagems to use in short call in time. Can’t knock it till you try it
That’s a LOT of cool-downs dependant on the same “re-arm” timer. Made worse in that your horde clear or anti-heavy AE used up they am wont start to replenish unless you send the eagle back manually.
Still, I can’t deny the volume of “BOOM” available in a short period of time.
Ah yes…the sounds of terminids and friendly screaming when running pyromaniac is a soothing lullaby. 😌🔥
*Fun detected*
Balancing on its way!!!
I've been trying to spread the fun detected thing, and I think it's working lol
No!
DAMN.DAMN. DAMN YOU ALEXUS KRECHENKAV!!!!!!!😢😢😢
@@TheMMObro One of the more accurate memes sadly...
I've been trying out the grenade launcher set for about a day before seeing this lol. Pairs well with a Breaker (any variant) for dealing with stragglers you don't want to waste precious grenade ammo on. I'd been running Stalwart for about a week and was sick of not killing chargers at any kind of speed; the launcher didn't exactly fix that, but feels better to use when dodging and shooting it's butt, and also has the huge advantage of two-hitting Spewers anywhere.
I like ammunition backpack + machine gun + fortified armor for the recoil reduction effect.
it's fun, it's non-stop shooting.
great vid! definitely going to take inspiration from this to spice up my games
The grenade launcher is just amazing. Shooting the second bots drop will kill everyone instantly. You can also shoot containers, fences, radio outposts from large distance. It only needs a lot of ammo when you do a strategem like shooting spree.
I’ve been running the ‘Jump Pack Grenadier’ for almost a month now. I always run it with the B-08 Light Gunner armor; and Eagle Airstrike & Orbital Railcannon for the 2 other stratagems to help with the big units. Always a blast!
Note to others who want to try this kind of load out, team up with some buddies for the higher difficulties because the railcannon wont always be available for those pesky bile titans and chargers.
How creative are these loadouts! I can't wait to try them out!
Recently ran AMR, stun grenades and Supply pack against automatons. The Servo-assisted armor perk allows you to apply both stuns and stratagems from entirely unreasonable distances and with Supply pack you have a lot of grenades to toss around. Devastator patrols, therefore, die in a single stun, same with Hulks. Resupply your teammates to keep whatever they bring firing and give you the moral right to call dibs on other supplies, keep your distance and you're set.
I personally ran it with the Liberator AR, because you can magdump without a care in the world and still get all your ammunition back from your backpack.
Eagle Airstrike is a given, but Precision Orbital is actually pretty damn good because of its low cooldown. It's a bootleg Railgun Strike if you want it to be, it kills structures and Sauron towers. So it basically saves you 3-4 Airstikes per mission.
you forgot the Juggernaut:
Balistic shield
(SMG 72 Pummeler or SMG 37 Defender)
FS 55 Devastator armor & Helmet
Machine gun or Heavy machine gun
stun grenades
grenade pistol
Will have to make a part 2 because I do enjoy being a machine gunner
this one’s pretty cool the only problem is medium to heavy targets become a nuisance for this build. You can counter this with the laser canon or amr
loved this vid and was exactly what i've been looking for. Far too many "best ever legendary insane meta build ever" vids out there.
Thanks! I am not good enough to showcase the meta. I just want to have fun with it.
I like jumppack and flamethrower together, I call it the jackrabbit
Shield+ Stratgem sniper, any smg, handcannon and stun granades(if you had bad aim or constantly be in sticky situations) is a combo very OP against Bots, also is very useful combine this with any armor with the perk that buff your accuracy
I like similar, but then can't close fabricators
@@TheMMObro that’s the purpose of the granade pistol my man, a well aimed shot closes the fabricator, the sniper is for deal with Hulks with two eye shots (if bad aim use stun nades) and smg for the rest of the targets
@@Davcamvi14 oh, when you said hand cannon, I took it for the revolver!
@@TheMMObro it’s a great option too but then you can’t destroy fabricators without stratgems, the main idea is be almost independent of stratgems
Replace the Stun Grenades with the Orbital EMP. Only a 75 second cooldown with a wider stun radius. Alternatively, the EMP Mortar Sentry is a good option to stun lock multiple enemies over time.
The only kinds of builds that matter, the fun ones
I hope someday they release an armor with a "Fireproof" perk to fully become a Pyromaniac
Ive been useing exactly the same "riot police" loadout for 2 days now. It works great especially if you bring a MMG or AMR
bullets : strafing run , gatling barage, guard dog, any mg - u will struggle
I love the Blitzer, only 2 problems i wish they would fix. 1. It has a serious problem hitting enemies that are right up on you. 2. When there are a lot of bodies between you and what you are trying to kill it seems like the bolts hit the dead bodies instead of the live ones. Also with the nerf to the arc thrower the range is the same as the blitzer so really no reason to bring both and tbh i enjoy the blitzer way more.
forgot the warcrime starter pack.
napalm strike, gas strike, cluster bomb, flamethrower, contact incendiary or incendiary grenades, incendiary breaker
The most fun I've ever had with a build was preneutered Eruptor, railcannon, stalwart, eagle 500kg, orbital laser.
Prenerf the eruptor was capable of dealing with chargers almost as efficiently as a support explosive weapon.
I felt like I could use it to deal with *MOST* things, meaning I just needed to focus the rest of my build on killing massive enemies, and protecting me in close range.
It was the most 'all rounder' that I've ever felt playing this game, comfortable no matter what the game throws at me.
I miss it lol. Can't do that anymore. I mean sure you can run experimental builds but they're not effective. I'm level 90 I've tried all these whack builds and sure, they're fun in some moments of the gameplay, but when the game decides to send 4 bile titans at you and you're stood there with a flamethrower, 3 chargers just sandwiched your turrets and your NAPALM STRIKE IS ON COOLDOWN lol... you're just gonna be running away and diving all over the place. That's not fun it's stressful after a month of it.
And the worst part of the games where one guys experimenting and can't deal with any situation effectively, is that everyone starts getting stressed out, the whole experience has a chance of being toxic.
The balance just doesn't seem to be there to allow for fun build experimentation.
I'd accept arguments that if you actually coordinated with your team you could run most builds though. Making me think the game actually has a role system, but everybody just ignores it, leaving you to feeling like experimental, purpose fit builds are just trash.
Lazor is about two loudouts realy (Theme) Shiled pack + poulse las weapons, and Rover with Beams.
You can 2+2 your team with it, having two close in guys, and other two with ranged spray.
First team gets Orbital railcanon and Lazor, wchile second team doubels with lazor, + 500kg B.
Any and all, wi'll rule them all.
For democracy.
2 and 3 combined: As I'm maining that loadout (bug only with this) i can say that there is something like to much fire... Flamethrower as a fire source is enough, adding more is just for "theme" but not working so well... So... Close combat specialist: Blitzer + Flamethrower (flames EVERYWHERE + "stay there", put enemies and ground in flame and use push back and stagger of blitzer to keep them burning!) + jetpack for mobility and option to get thru "no go area" (flames) + two offensive strats of Your choice or one off and a turret or tesla tower.
Combine that with stun granade for extra support (and super easy kills of chargers - stun and 3s of fire = rosted charger) and granade pistol for bug holes.
When You get experence with using blitzer then easly no friendly fire it is. Also after xx time with flamethrower i ended almost never burning myself so combat medic armor isn't must have. I'm using light with extra granades or arc dmg resistance (when using tesla tower) or fortified (when playing with unexpierenced players, with that -50% explosive dmg You can survive clusterbombs and other explosive friendly fire ^^).
Both blitzer and flamethrower arn't much "friendly fire" weapond when using right, it's quite easy to manage our fire but it need some practice.
you are doing great job. thanks for video
I use the fire loadout with jetpack to jump over my flames. pretty epic ngl
Flamethrower plus Jump Pack, to get over your paths of fire, is my recent favorite combo. Fire is really good after they fixed DOT, and the Flamethrower actually handles Chargers (a bit too quickly if I'm being honest).
500kg + grenade launcher + ammo pack + autocannon sentry + incendiary breaker
Lazer lad loudout: scythe, Laser pistol, stun grenade, Laser cannon, orbital laser, Laser dog, and either emp strike or tesla tower.
Armor: anything that gives you extra grenades.
Is it good? IDK.
Is it fun? Absolutely.
LASERS.
The OG ghost recon music was the chefs kiss
It is epic as!
Bugs: 500 kg/ napalm/ flame thrower/ rover/ Blitzer and grenade pistol
Bots: 500 kg/ cluster/ 380 barrage/ auto cannon/ scorcher and revolver
Some really cool ideas! Wish we could save loadouts in-game.
For me (bugs) 500kg, orbital laser, flamethrower and guard dog just to clean up the chaff (breaker ie)
Bots -
1. Eagle air strike, orbital laser, rail cannon and auto cannon - with servo assisted armor
2. Eagle air strike, orbital laser, amr and ballistic shield (again servo assisted armor with pummeler)
You have my gratitude for using the theme song from Ghost Recon ... the fire build is awesome, had a run with it and another team mate at Hellmire, it was madness :D
Nice 2 see someone else with a similar play style
i'm always confused or doubtful as to what i should bring onto a mission because there's just so much stuff, so i'll remember these loadouts if i'm looking for something reliable.
What could be neat is having a video that's like "adjusting your loadouts for different planets"
I find that the "Vietnam" planets like The Creek tend to favor different loadouts and tactics than the rocky planets. Mainly because of sight lines but also with natural hazards
on the first one I'd go with CE-67 Titan, just to get more grenades to fit the theme
My favorite loadout is the 4,294,967,208 G-16 Impact grenades
I'd say that by far my favourite is the "Plasma Spreader" lodaout
Eagle Airstrike, Supply Pack, HMG, Autocannon sentry
With Scorcher it's very effective (supply pack obviously for the scorcher, since it's a "Out of ammo" simulator)
vs Bugs I always go Incendiary Breaker, Grenade pistol, Incendiary Grenade but then Flamethrower & Energy Shield. Amazing combo. No healing armor, you won't need it with the shield - I go throwing arm. Then 2 strats for dealing with Bile Titans specifically - since chargers get eaten up pretty quick by the flamethrower.
I already main "the pyromaniac" except I've switched to the impact incendiary. My teammates aren't too appreciative of my crowd control though for some reason...
does light armour with jumppack give you a greater jumping range in comparison with a medium armour?
In short, yes.
So the jump distance is based off of your speed and if you have stamina. Since lighter armour has more speed you get more jump distance.
@@MrIncognito23 ❤
Grenadier Armor, Eruptor, Grenade Pistol, Grenade Launcher, impact Grenades, clusterbomb,
absolute peak Helldivers 2 content
may I suggest the ''old school'' for bots:
Eagle Airstrike
Walking Barrage
Mortar Sentry
Autocannon
Countersniper
Senator
High explosive
I love to play ballistic shield+smg+antimaterial rifle setup, it is very effective against automatons
One fun loadout I’ve been wanting to try against the automatons is airstrike, shield generator array, auto cannon sentry, and any sort of heavy weapon stratagem.
I’ve seen the autocannon sentry eat against automatons when they don’t notice it’s there and I have all the upgrades so I feel like with the shield generator protecting it the extra firepower would be real nice.
@@adriancollado9275 autocannon sentry shreds even factory striders if placed right, just make sure to destroy the strider's cannon first so it won't just snipe your precious friend
@@dudus9287 appreciate the advice bro I actually tried shield with the autocannon but it is so niche and the shield was actually weaker than I thought but I may just retry the build but maybe throw in a EMS mortar or a rocket sentry so the bots have more to shoot at instead of just one thing.
EMS is so under rated, its great for (you guessed it) crowd control
I just use only big explosions guy build: 500kg, 380mm, grenade launcher, grenade pistol, +2 grenades vest and jetpack.
Even though assault rifles need a buff I like to run turrets . Gatling sentry , ac sentry, ems or regular mortar with HMG and liberator penetrator or dominator with magnum or desert eagle and stun or impact nades for bots . I switch between a bunch of fun loadouts though
That is the most inefficient way to use a flamthrower.
respect turrets go brr
I always bring in at least one turret into a mission. They both clear out enemies and provide a distraction if you need yo disengage.
Are these tested for difficulty 9?
More like. How to be a liability to Helldiver 2 difficulty randoms.
- mines
- incendary mines
- 120mm barrage
- 380mm barrage
Tipp for flamethrower use the shield backpack
My pyromantic is:
- Heavy Armour with Extra Padding
- Blitzer
- Stun grenades
- Flamethrower
- Energy Shield
- Napalm Eagle
- 380 mm
Hans get the Flammenwerfer.
i would not take a medic armor with pyromaniac cause you can simply dive to take out the burning if you catch on fire
Grenade launcher can kill charger if you shoot under its butt I think 3-6 shots
Have fun with the dagger when it cant even kill small enemies
What about sniper loadout? Pretty obvious selections for the primary and strategic weapons
Let me tell you this. We have both had the same dumb ideas for loadouts. If you ever need a friend to test these builds in greater detail reach out to me. I’ve done group loadouts with the Laser loadout and we called it “Palpatine” plus the jetpack grenadier is a staple “META” playstyle for our bug missions.
Great video dude. Thanks for the content.
Might have to take you up on that sometime! Appreciate it!
I like my heavy weapons guy build.
Heavy armor
Stock Machine gun
Supply pack
Eagle airstrike
Gatling sentry
BLOW IT UP! Any explosive primary, grenade pistol (don't have that one yet), grenade launcher, supply pack, 380 barrage (for enemy bases and bunkers), AC, mortar or rocket sentry for even more explosions at once.
WARNING: May result in excessive friendly fire.
All of these loadouts are officially on Arrowhead's list of future nerfs, for being "fun".
Sorry will take video down before it gets nerfed!
any fellow gas strikers here? ever notice how sometimes it doesnt land exactly where you placed the beacon?
Fun is the meta
The fire build would be great if we had fire resistant armor
Have been wondering if we will get some new armour perks such as flame resist.
@MrIncognito23 I don't understand why they didn't have each perk then every armor set is listed as a skin under that perk.
I don’t understand the closing of big holes when they all just dig their way up through the dirt on each bug breach. 🧐
one side : Where meta sh*t 😭😭😭
othrr side : Damn this setup is fun as hell.
You get a like just for playing Dagothwave at the end.
Just wanted to drop in because of the title, meta or not all these items used will now recieve a rebalance in the next couple patches. 😂😂
Devs are taking notes for their next balance patch
I'm sorry. but you did not mention +25% fire damage ship upgrade. I believe it's essential for pyromaniac build. Whit out this upgrade fire damage not so effective as it could be
+you recommended wrong granade. Impact fire granaide is better for this build :( impact need slightly more practice to close bag hols..but in general it's better
i use de lvl 1 scrub, ultimate challenge
Same here as level 76😂
Try out pummeler/ballistic shield/anti materiel rifle
Dude grenade pistol + ballistic shield looks like the best reason to buy the Democratic Detonation warbond I'm not gonna lie.
Not going to lie, it kind of slaps!
Randomly watching this video, only to find out I’m #6 😂
I dont want to give it a like because is just the right number now 666 hahaha love the vid btw
"6 fun loadouts to try, #2 Pyro maniac"....*proceds to show gameplay of him getting absolutely wrecked the entire time
my personal favorite loadout is grenade because i can do the grenade glitch and get infinite grenades and destroy all the automatons
Would love to see a build that uses the tenderizer
These aren’t really builds so much as themes
They are definitely themed builds I should have added that in the title. Just didn't roll off the tongue on the day.
@@MrIncognito23 I just mean, a build has a purpose. “Lasers” isn’t a purpose, it’s not best at anything or for anything it’s literally just a theme and if anything using all lasers is worse than like any other imaginable combination that includes some lasers
My favorite loadout is LAZER MAN, orbital lazer, lazer cannon, sythe, guard dog rover. Absolute bot shredder lmao
