Haven't watched this yet, but a 46 minute long video from a channel with 2 subs? Yeah this is probably gonna have some ARCANE information in it. Excited to watch
it's like finding a hole-in-the-wall asian takeout place that's older than you are and which you've never heard of. you KNOW that shit is gonna be five stars.
Gave it a watch. Good video. Honestly as much as I use the AMR it never occurred to me to just.... use it like it's a primary weapon. Thing kinda just solves most problems on it's own when you do that. The "leave 1 round left" trick honestly helps a lot, I had no idea doing that like straight up halves the reload speed. I really like using the Tenderizer with the AMR as well. The basically nonexistent recoil on it makes it pretty easy to just kill berzerkers in 2 headshots, and you can always just barrel-stuff the torso with if need be. Probably still not quite as good as like, the Slugger, Pummeler or Punisher Plasma but I wouldn't underestimate it either. Gave the Pummeler a spin last night bc of this video as well and yeah, that thing's pretty cracked lol. Absolutely mulches Bezerkers, but the lowish range made me miss my Tenderizer a bit. As far as stratagems go I already ran basically the exact same stuff as you do. AMR, Supply Pack, 500KG, then either Precision Strike or Gatling. Some quality viewing before bed. Good stuff.
Bro made a 45 minute video about a single rifle from HellDivers 2; that kind of autistic passion could prove to be a valuable asset to the community! (In the most honest and respectful way possible)
16:30 The very front of the shredder's turret is not fully armoured. Shoot right in the middle of their guns to continue damaging them even while they're looking at you
The amr is sooo cracked. Getting good with it feels sooo good. Just deleating devestators from range is amazing, and once you get up your accuracy to like 70% percent you’re so deadly
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
Oh wow, I guess the recent update probably made the AMR feel even better for you. Thank you for the in-depth video. I'll definitely be trying out some of these loadout ideas soon.
Lobe the details you put in, you definitely know what you are doing. Never seen a better breakdown of these mechanics even from big names in the community. May liberty guide your work, my fellow diver!
Thank you very much for making this video. The fact that this isnt your typical TH-cam edits/voiceover/cuts makes it even better, and honestly, this was more interesting to follow and listen to than quite a bit of the normal content :). Thank you for doing this, especially for sharing all the AMR knowledge. There are some parts of the video where I'd have suggestions that, for me, work better than your approach, so I thought why not include it too. For the Botside Loadouts (19:27, also all of this will focus on Botside), just one little alternative that will definitely gather some weird looks: the Purifier. Dont get me wrong, the Plasma Punisher is great for crowd clearing and Devastators, especially because unlike the Purifier, it has no chargeup time. However I'll go ahead and say that the Purifier is a more reliable primary, as it has no noticeable bullet drop, same stun and stun radius, and mainly, way more ammunition. There has yet to be a Battle in which the Purifier runs out of ammunition before the fight is over, and with a supply pack, thats even less likely. It's by no means universally better, but if you have no problem with the Chargeup time, the Purifier can be better than the Punisher Plasma. (Can the Punisher Plasma take out Turrets and Tanks? Because if not, even more reason to give the Purifier a try, as it can do so in 7-9 Shots to the Vent) For Secondaries, as you said, they are usually more of a panic fire choice than a viable weapon. However, they can be used as great tools. If you want to take out Bots more silently, pick the Senator. If you want to blow up Fabricators, take the Grenade Pistol. Another unconventional one: the Dagger. Not for actual combat, but if there are minefields of any kind, its great to have a tool with nearly infinite ammunition that can easily clear any sort of minefield in a very short time. (The Crisper should work for that too.) For Stratagems, the Shield Relay Generator can work really well too. It can protect you and simply provide cover, it can distract enemies when you play stealthy, it can take out Fabricators. If you cant get over a wall, place a shield relay and use it to climb (instead of wasting a resupply for that). Of course, again, not everyones playstyle and its probably not the most viable on diff 10, but it can be great to have, and its fun to use. This point here is speculation territory, but with the upcoming Gas-based Warbond, its not unlikely that the Orbital Gas strike will get buffed a bit. Considering its short cooldown, it could be a good alternative for the Orbital Precision Strike that is also capable of denying access to an area. Anyhow, thats everything that might also work well from my experience. Once again, thank you for this Video, its great to hear the thoughts of a fellow Helldiver in a format uncorrupted by the normal Media :). Lastly, thanks for reading this entire comment. Keep up the great work, and have a wonderful day
Yes a bit outdated after the buffs, HOWEVER!! I give serious credit to having gameplay reflecting every point you are talking about. 7:16 is so far the best example ive seen, its quick, concise, gets the idea across, and looked sick mowing down a horde of bugs with a friend using the AMR, great work.
An excellent video, one of the greatest in the community lately. You earned your views and warrant more. I think railgun stands just behind the AMR on Super Helldive, even in its current state; it will definitely be on par with the AMR after the update on the 17th. Hopefully the misaligned scope on the AMR gets fixed then, but it's usually easy for me to adjust for it. For secondaries, grenade pistol is definitely always top tier, but I suggest trying the Senator. It one-taps all devastator heads (tough to hit Berserker heads though), and it pops the rockets on the sides of armored scout striders. It also has fast bullet velocity, and usually oneshots infantry, making it quick to stop bot drops. You can also bring the Bushwhacker against bugs, provided you've got plenty of options for nest clearing. Maybe one day they'll add a grapnel pistol for rappelling up and down, which will benefit the AMR more than nearly any other gun (especially if we can hang on the line like spec-ops and still shoot main weapons). Agreed about heavy armor being largely unnecessary for bots. It's only truly useful on stationary defense missions. Otherwise, I run medium explosive resistance, since I'm an HMG/Railgun main (and even then, I'd prefer light armor if not for my fashion bias). But light armor is the most useful type in the game, even against endless rocket barrages. Light armor also trains and encourages better movement fundamentals. There's a "rule" in combat that you have three seconds or less to transition from cover to cover, and this usually holds true in HD2 due to map designs and AH's number of military veterans. But medium armor often exceeds five seconds from cover to cover on large maps/bases, and heavy armor can only manage three second transitions in the *absolute best case scenarios...* Meaning medium and heavy armor tend to cause us to take more damage overall. As for stratagems, don't underestimate the eagle smoke strike. I can destroy fabricators with direct hits, and gunships won't shoot through it. It's not very useful against factory striders, and it can obstruct your view, but it's highly underrated overall. And as for grenades, I never bring stuns vs bugs or bots, just because they encourage complacency over timing and problem-solving... And because so many teammates bring stuns, it's better to bring high explosives or thermites to round out the team. But that grenade thing is subjective. Also, your gamma makes it look like you're recording with an ODST's helmet filter always turned on. BTW, I fucking love the clip of you fighting for your life. Such moments can make us hold back too much or not commit where necessary, but in that clip you dialed in. All you could've done different would've been to retreat to a teammate, but that's not a critique, because you sold your life dearly and got a nice last stand out of it. Two thumbs up.
Supply pack used to be my go to, it makes it such an incredible platform as your damage/few seconds increases highly (as your spam firing thanks to all the extra ammo). Recently though I’ve been running the Jar-5 as the primary and the normal guard dog back pack. I’d recommend, it’s a fun build.
AMR is all-around good weapond for bot missions and it can deal with most situations. It has range, reload, handling and precision compared to AC. Generally HD2 primary guns aren’t the fast solution to devastators and that’s why it feels so good to use the AMR.
I've found the fastest way of dealing with them is the basic Diligence and going for headshots only (if you're willing to put in the work), Diligence CS is less reliable here because a missed shot going into their chest will make them flinch which makes follow up shots inaccurate. Basic Diligence follow up shots are very easy.
@ just keep in mind that my post was before buff divers and DMRs are more worth using now than before. Dilligence was so bad that it had to make 2x headshots to kill devastators which didn’t make any sense. Dillingence CS got buffed so much that you don’t even need to for the head, just 2x stomach shots.
This is a great video. Hope it gets more views. I used to always do AMR + plas punisher and switched to mostly railgun + tenderizer or dcs. Ill have to try it again. Also one thing I wanted to mention is it seems like your gamma might be a little high. Not a big deal but its a little odd looking
AMR has been my go to in my loadout since starting. I agree - if you know where to aim, this weapon has one of the best kill time averages across all enemies. It is incredible capable broadly, and insanely efficient at taking out certain enemies for your teammates. The dot on the screen for no-scope sounds like a game changer I’m going to have to try. Thanks for the tips and the video.
Love that you're giving the AMR some love. I loved using it a lot and only stopped because I wanted to try out other weapons. I actually only recently got into using the Auto Cannon since I rarely used weapons that required backpacks to utilize.
This was honestly a very good guide. I've been trying to use this thing cause I've always had an eye on it but it never worked out. Very informative, best HD2 video I've watched, earned a like and subscribe!
I’ve run the AMR on bots since day 1 and I love it! My normal bot loadout is: AMR + plasma punisher + grenade pistol Impact grenades Eagle airstrike, orbital precision strike, shield backpack (I’m bad at finding cover lol). Interested to see how the AMR playstyle evolves with this new patch!
Once the scopes are fixed, I'm going to use the AMR instead of the autocannon. I like supply pack and the barrel sway armor and I use the Sickle on trash bots that die to light pen.
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
Love your loadout, I play similarly, but with a Jetpack. Thanks for encouraging me not to be so chary with my ammo. Love using monitor reticle and hip-firing
Idk man I run it as a primary too but I never use a supply pack and I like never run out of ammo. I mean not before I run across a couple of field crates or need a resupply for stims but then again, I play solo. Gotta have my jump pack😂 great video tho G
i dont know what possessed me but after watching this video and learning that AMRs can oneshot hiveguards/alpha commanders i've been using it a ton on bugs. And the built-in reticle on my monitor is actually so large (and slightly off center) that I've stopped using aim-down sights on everything except hulks. thanks to this video I've now begun using AMR for bugs and railgun for bots. Which was literally the reverse of what I've used prior to this video (and the september patch)
A fellow pummeler user thank god. I love that gun so much the stagger is so great on that gun and i like its precision compared to the punisher. Great video btw
i feel that the amr very well could be better especially in a team, but playing solo you're just so much better off with the autocannon in so many more situations. good information and good video though i wish more people made content like this
Great video man, 🍻 from one AMR fan to another. I've always been a bot diver but since the update I'm getting much more use out of it on bugs, which is honestly f'king great
Only time I'll take AMR over current railgun is for gunships patrols because of the sight. Railgun has saved my behind and teammates a lot especially with the rocket striders.
For primary I use the Cookout against bots together with the AMR. Every small Bot will start burning and die even by a glancing shot, so big groups of small bot die to just a few shots. Since only one shrapnel needs to hit to apply the burn effect, you can take down small bots also on high distances. It has insane stagger against devastators, also the time to kill them is a bit high, but you can stop multiple berserkers advancing and reload between shots still.
Good to see AMR love being spread. Been using it since launch. Just some of my own advice (haven't finished the video yet, so forgive redundancy) : 1. A key to success is mastering OTS aiming. It takes a while, but what helped me were certain helmet choices that I can ascertain where it will hit based on it's position in relation to features on the helmet. Eventually you begin to intuit where it is aiming but take heed how you are positioned and if you're turning while shooting. OTS is effective for targets up to around 30 or so meters. Ive hit further but only out of fun. 2. Past this, even with the far targets, I keep my zoom at 50. I see more around me. I fight hulks up close with stun grenades and eye shots. I use it mainly as a primary except for crazy waves or will switch after expending. 3. I prefer jump packs for mobility but use whatever support strategy you want. Ammopack will be great as a newer shooter, but the ship module buffing resupply saves heartache. Also scavenging recovers quite enough between objectives. Lastly don't be afraid to just drop in another AMR when cool down strats have been gained. Tactical reloads make your capacity 7+1, so with a fresh supply you're carrying 50 rounds. 4. The ship module buffing reload speed makes a lot of difference. Get it ASAP. The AMR can decimate mediums for bugs and bots, making you an unsung hero for your team. It is effective against heavies if you know how. But until whatever this patch brings: choose your primary/strategems wisely regarding stalkers, large groups of shield decimators, and large groups of spewers based on difficulty level.
Being able to kill a BT in 12 headshots made me finally switch from AC to AMR for bugs. I had a very consistent way to kill BTs by destroying the sacs with the AC and then running under the BT and throwing an OPS below them. Now all I need is to spam 2 mags. It's a shame about Behemoths and impalers tho, it takes 3 to 4 mags if you headshot them but if you go for their legs all it takes is 1 mag to break then 3 shots to kill. It's stupid that leg breaking is still the meta for bug tanks.
I pair my AMR with the crossbow, jumppack and bushwhacker. For stratagems I usually run the eagle airstrike and 120, though I exchange the 120 for gas strike or Gatling barrage depending on squad composition. For the greased I bring the thermite.
I've been misreading this as "Advanced ASMR guide for Helldivers 2" Wasn't even surprised at the idea of the HD community having a competitive ASMR scene
As someone who uses almost only heavy armor with the hmg.. to the point I recently started playing med and feel like sonic 😂.. this video hurt my soul seeing you use my supply pack like that 😂😂😂. Some pro tips in this one tho 👌 top notch video
Great, well put together video!! I love the AMR but definitely struggle with it at times for heavy devs and hulks, due to the crosshair. Just need practice 😅. I like pairing it with the ballistic shield and crossbow or pummeler; not the best but it's a lot of fun anyways. Looking forward to using it with the new changes to armor coming up, too! Excited to see if youll have any other vids too!
Oh howdy. My favorite rifle gets some recognition. I do love the autocannon but I feel better and enjoy the amr more. Its like a more accurate, better handling auto cannon that can be reloaded on the run. Its my bot gun. I used the amr in a bug mission by accident. I thought I was diving into automaton territory, was I surprised. Turned out to destroy bugs with ease but I have another loadout for bugs that I prefer. Bots=more precision kills, bugs=mass bug murder.. So cool you made an amr video. I learned much that I didn't yet know. Thanks. I subbed, liked & all that TH-cam requires. Good luck. Cya soon.
Im new to the game and have been loving the recoiless rifle for bot busting. The amount of fabricators I've cross maped with it is absolutely hilarious 😂😂
My build is Eruptor, Senator, Stuns with Light Stealth armor (the first one, with a bit more armor rating), along with Orbital Laser, to deal with bases, command centers or as a panic button, the OPS, because I pried myself on dealing with subobjectives effectively, the jump pack and the AMR.
really nice video and its very satisfying to watch. I dont know if you will mention this later, but at 15:00 you talked about berserkers, and didnt mention that you can actually one shot them in the head, the Hitbox is very small and because of thier sway while moving its hard to hit, but it works and is really amazing if it does
I love running the shield pack with the amr, it gives me just enough time to get the shots i need in without worrying about flinch from getting shot at
I like to bring the Eruptor for bots and just prioritise beserkers even at range, redeemer makes short work of the straggling ones. Also tends to teach you to use your secondary for both ammo efficiency and safety.
Thanks for this, I can tell you've used the AMR to the fullest. Definitely going to use some of this info on my own dives On hulk face plates; I always struggle with these head shots so I'm not an expert or anything. Still, I would think that hitting them at the 'top' position of their stride would be more useful because of the angle. I'm going to spend 3 hours trying to test that now😂
I suggest trying heavy armor with strafing run and orbital Gatling. Using cover with heavy armor lets you ADS longer with good timing. Strafing run clears enemies that will swarm you and Gatling is low-downtime DPS
Also for berserkers, you can take them out in one headshot. It’s kind of a weird hit box but it’s possible. I main AMR with diligence CS in a stealth build on bots. The CS allows me to take out little bots and devastators quietly and then can use the AMR on the berserkers to take them out stealthily too. I know AMR is a loud weapon but funny enough, if I walk up to a bunch of enemies on guard duty, as long as the others can’t see me and the kill takes 1 shot, they don’t seem to react much to killing berserkers other than looking in the direction where it died
Tons of excellent information in here. I learned a lot and immediately started having fun with the AMR on the field. I’m curious to see what you think after today’s update?
the update made the gun even better and also made so much of this video wrong lol. it’s now waaaaay more viable for bugs than it was before, even though i do think it wasn’t bad pre update
the 50 meter scope is arguably more useful in many engagements. exceedingly so on forested plannets but I can make the longer shots with the lesser zoom and anything further is difficult due to the reticle not being centered
12:12 Right here. If you were rocking Shield Pack, you wouldn't have to lose line of sight. At that range, you have time to hurl a Stun Grenade as it closes in, crouch, and immdiately land the one tap. You're just wasting ammo prematurely. I deliberately ran Autocannon exclusively, because I wanted to stop using Shield Pack as a crutch. But when you master cover and concealment, Shield Pack becomes an invaluable tool for getting precise shots. "edit Pilestedt might also be going for some military realism, as closer range shots obviously have more projectile velocity and would deal more damage in real life.
I think it lacks a laser pointer like the Jar to be able short range shots without going into first person mode, otherwise for long range its the way to go.
I like the jetpack with the AMR but i'm solo so ammo are not really a problem. Regarding stratagem, precision strike + small barage are pretty powerfull. I may move out of the precision strike since the small barage can deal with the sauron eye.
I've been rocking the amr on bots since before the taking of the Creek. And its funny how its only ever gotten better. Its hard to say the autocannon is as good simply because you lose the supply pack. Now that it is so strong against berserkers and gunships, its hard to use anything else.
i'd argue the marksman rifles are a decent pair with the amr, they overlap a lot in what they do but that can be really useful if you're not running supply pack. You can save your amr ammo for when real fighting starts and use the marksman rifle for mopping up small patrols or base garrisons. Plus the marksman rifles are really good at preventing bot drops, being one shot and high firerate and all. The one downside is you dont cover your berserker weakness, but most of the time the amr deals with them eventually and I personally like running impacts which take them out fast.
This. But also the diligence CS is a really quiet weapon compared to most primaries and it also allows for 1 tap headshots on devs. This means that not only can you save your AMR ammo but you can also stealthily clear out all little bots, devs, and rocket striders (it’s one shot to kill them with CS if you hit their rocket on the side) at a camp/obj before you engage the bigger enemies like hulks and up as long as all the shots you fired were 1 tap kills. I think only the little bots will hear the shot but they will only investigate then go back if they don’t find you. I also said this in another comment but if you shoot a berserker in the face with the AMR, you can actually one shot it and no enemies will notice. Once again, I think only the little bots will come and check (so take them out first) but everything else will just turn towards where the berserker died then just turn back if they don’t notice you. If you miss or it takes more than one shot, then they’ll discover you. But all these “stealth kills” have to be done when no enemy has sight on you and you can’t be in a spot where they can just turn and see you as soon as you fire the weapon. It’ll basically be the same as if they were looking right at you. It’s weird how it works but it’s so fun honestly

Any idea the armor on it? Do explosives penetrate?
@@mattmelton7389 It's AP4, same as the rest of the shredder's turret. Only the cheeks either side of the guns are AP5
The autcannon can damage it, so the AMR should too.
i feel like they changed this with the most recent update, AC cant really hurt it in the guns anymore
@@RogerNbr yes, they did. All tank front armour was increased by 1. Either side of the guns are now AP6 and the middle is AP5
The amr is sooo cracked. Getting good with it feels sooo good. Just deleating devestators from range is amazing, and once you get up your accuracy to like 70% percent you’re so deadly
90% accuracy with railgun is a whole different level
@@sei_asagiri well yeah I know. 70% with the amr is kindof a good marker/breakpoint for me is all.
It is, was and always will be the secret SSS tier support weapon. It was never the AC.
Great video! Especially appreciate the tip about matching your shot pacing with the hulk head bobbing, thank you!

Great vid though. Love the AMR
A third person reticle would be so sick, I hope they add one someday.
I use an overlay reticle sometimes, and I do hope they add it cause its sooo sick
AMR had reticle? I thought they recently removed it.
@@Joemama-xw2wynever had one
I drew one on my TV screen. 😎
No. It's a sniper weapon intended for sniping through scope. Adding reticle would be counter-intuitive.

It's not very useful against factory striders, and it can obstruct your view, but it's highly underrated overall. And as for grenades, I never bring stuns vs bugs or bots, just because they encourage complacency over timing and problem-solving... And because so many teammates bring stuns, it's better to bring high explosives or thermites to round out the team. But that grenade thing is subjective.
Also, your gamma makes it look like you're recording with an ODST's helmet filter always turned on. BTW, I fucking love the clip of you fighting for your life. Such moments can make us hold back too much or not commit where necessary, but in that clip you dialed in. All you could've done different would've been to retreat to a teammate, but that's not a critique, because you sold your life dearly and got a nice last stand out of it.
Two thumbs up.
Not sure I'd run anything other than a grapnel pistol. Escaping groups batman-style would be too cool
Supply pack used to be my go to, it makes it such an incredible platform as your damage/few seconds increases highly (as your spam firing thanks to all the extra ammo).
Recently though I’ve been running the Jar-5 as the primary and the normal guard dog back pack. I’d recommend, it’s a fun build.
Great video all around, not rambly despite the long length
AMR is all-around good weapond for bot missions and it can deal with most situations. It has range, reload, handling and precision compared to AC.
Generally HD2 primary guns aren’t the fast solution to devastators and that’s why it feels so good to use the AMR.
I've found the fastest way of dealing with them is the basic Diligence and going for headshots only (if you're willing to put in the work), Diligence CS is less reliable here because a missed shot going into their chest will make them flinch which makes follow up shots inaccurate. Basic Diligence follow up shots are very easy.
@ just keep in mind that my post was before buff divers and DMRs are more worth using now than before.
Dilligence was so bad that it had to make 2x headshots to kill devastators which didn’t make any sense.
Dillingence CS got buffed so much that you don’t even need to for the head, just 2x stomach shots.
Thats literally what I was thinking all this time! Ppl just don't understand how insane amr is on both fronts, especially after buffs rn
As someone who has an insane amount of time with the AMR this is such a great guide, i love the little tips like always crouching for shots
i’m glad you liked it!
Super good tip about the Hulk head bobbing, I never realized that. With the new buffs, the AMR is even better so I'm excited to try this out
This is a great video. Hope it gets more views. I used to always do AMR + plas punisher and switched to mostly railgun + tenderizer or dcs. Ill have to try it again.
Also one thing I wanted to mention is it seems like your gamma might be a little high. Not a big deal but its a little odd looking
AMR has been my go to in my loadout since starting. I agree - if you know where to aim, this weapon has one of the best kill time averages across all enemies. It is incredible capable broadly, and insanely efficient at taking out certain enemies for your teammates. The dot on the screen for no-scope sounds like a game changer I’m going to have to try. Thanks for the tips and the video.
Love that you're giving the AMR some love. I loved using it a lot and only stopped because I wanted to try out other weapons. I actually only recently got into using the Auto Cannon since I rarely used weapons that required backpacks to utilize.
This was honestly a very good guide. I've been trying to use this thing cause I've always had an eye on it but it never worked out. Very informative, best HD2 video I've watched, earned a like and subscribe!
I started using the AMR recently and just realized it's really good. And then I discovered this video
You should make an updated video. The AMR's scope is dialed in now and there are other great options for primaries now as well
it’s in the works!
@@ravioli7169splendid.
They fixed the scope?
@@gorilyawarfare485 yes.
@@gorilyawarfare485 yep.
I’ve run the AMR on bots since day 1 and I love it! My normal bot loadout is:
AMR + plasma punisher + grenade pistol
Impact grenades
Eagle airstrike, orbital precision strike, shield backpack (I’m bad at finding cover lol).
Interested to see how the AMR playstyle evolves with this new patch!
Once the scopes are fixed, I'm going to use the AMR instead of the autocannon.
I like supply pack and the barrel sway armor and I use the Sickle on trash bots that die to light pen.
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
Using an amr as just a main rifle just itches my ridiculous anime itch
Love your loadout, I play similarly, but with a Jetpack. Thanks for encouraging me not to be so chary with my ammo. Love using monitor reticle and hip-firing
Light gunner, amr, punisher plasma, stuns, and grenade pistol, eagle airstrike, OPS. ARE YOU ME?
Honestly I kinda like that the amr doesn’t have a reticle at the hip. Reminds me of Killing floor
Are you excited for kf3?
@@dat1ytcomment262 not really lmao, that game is overstimulation central
Idk man I run it as a primary too but I never use a supply pack and I like never run out of ammo. I mean not before I run across a couple of field crates or need a resupply for stims but then again, I play solo. Gotta have my jump pack😂 great video tho G
Even though it's not good at completely clearing patrols it thins out the bigger units allowing you to switch to a "second" primary for quick mop ups
Would love a quick addendum to this after the recent update. You know just when youve settled in, what has changed from your opinions in this video.
Very useful info! Many thanks from an AMR/Plasma Punisher fan.
As a Diligence primary lover, I’m excited to try this “upgrade” to my snipe game.
Really wish the bipod on it actually gave it better recoil control compared to regular guns, then I would forgive it for being so wonky.
i dont know what possessed me but after watching this video and learning that AMRs can oneshot hiveguards/alpha commanders i've been using it a ton on bugs.
And the built-in reticle on my monitor is actually so large (and slightly off center) that I've stopped using aim-down sights on everything except hulks.
thanks to this video I've now begun using AMR for bugs and railgun for bots. Which was literally the reverse of what I've used prior to this video (and the september patch)
A fellow pummeler user thank god. I love that gun so much the stagger is so great on that gun and i like its precision compared to the punisher. Great video btw
thank you! the pummeler is so fun and cute it’s a great time
i feel that the amr very well could be better especially in a team, but playing solo you're just so much better off with the autocannon in so many more situations. good information and good video though i wish more people made content like this
Great video man, 🍻 from one AMR fan to another. I've always been a bot diver but since the update I'm getting much more use out of it on bugs, which is honestly f'king great
Thanks for the info! Super handy, especially the parts dealing with moving Hulks and the misaligned scope
the scope was fixed in a recent update but the timing still works
Only time I'll take AMR over current railgun is for gunships patrols because of the sight. Railgun has saved my behind and teammates a lot especially with the rocket striders.
For primary I use the Cookout against bots together with the AMR.
Every small Bot will start burning and die even by a glancing shot, so big groups of small bot die to just a few shots.
Since only one shrapnel needs to hit to apply the burn effect, you can take down small bots also on high distances.
It has insane stagger against devastators, also the time to kill them is a bit high, but you can stop multiple berserkers advancing and reload between shots still.
Good to see AMR love being spread. Been using it since launch. Just some of my own advice (haven't finished the video yet, so forgive redundancy) :
1. A key to success is mastering OTS aiming. It takes a while, but what helped me were certain helmet choices that I can ascertain where it will hit based on it's position in relation to features on the helmet. Eventually you begin to intuit where it is aiming but take heed how you are positioned and if you're turning while shooting. OTS is effective for targets up to around 30 or so meters. Ive hit further but only out of fun.
2. Past this, even with the far targets, I keep my zoom at 50. I see more around me. I fight hulks up close with stun grenades and eye shots. I use it mainly as a primary except for crazy waves or will switch after expending.
3. I prefer jump packs for mobility but use whatever support strategy you want. Ammopack will be great as a newer shooter, but the ship module buffing resupply saves heartache. Also scavenging recovers quite enough between objectives. Lastly don't be afraid to just drop in another AMR when cool down strats have been gained. Tactical reloads make your capacity 7+1, so with a fresh supply you're carrying 50 rounds.
4. The ship module buffing reload speed makes a lot of difference. Get it ASAP.
The AMR can decimate mediums for bugs and bots, making you an unsung hero for your team. It is effective against heavies if you know how. But until whatever this patch brings: choose your primary/strategems wisely regarding stalkers, large groups of shield decimators, and large groups of spewers based on difficulty level.
I’ve been able to consistently 2 shot Gunships down when aiming for the lower part of their thrusters (the bit near where the flames are coming out).
Being able to kill a BT in 12 headshots made me finally switch from AC to AMR for bugs. I had a very consistent way to kill BTs by destroying the sacs with the AC and then running under the BT and throwing an OPS below them. Now all I need is to spam 2 mags.
It's a shame about Behemoths and impalers tho, it takes 3 to 4 mags if you headshot them but if you go for their legs all it takes is 1 mag to break then 3 shots to kill. It's stupid that leg breaking is still the meta for bug tanks.
Thank you for giving me a reason to look cool and be viable with an AMR (I LOVE AMR RIFLES).
I pair my AMR with the crossbow, jumppack and bushwhacker. For stratagems I usually run the eagle airstrike and 120, though I exchange the 120 for gas strike or Gatling barrage depending on squad composition. For the greased I bring the thermite.
Finally someone gets it.
i literally made the video bc of that
AMR my beloved
I've been misreading this as "Advanced ASMR guide for Helldivers 2"
Wasn't even surprised at the idea of the HD community having a competitive ASMR scene
I just realized that good AMR players look almost like North (or any of the freelancers) from Red Vs Blue
As someone who uses almost only heavy armor with the hmg.. to the point I recently started playing med and feel like sonic 😂..
this video hurt my soul seeing you use my supply pack like that 😂😂😂.
Some pro tips in this one tho 👌 top notch video
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.
The buffed Arc Blitzer is a godsend for bugs. That might pair nicely with the AMR
Great, well put together video!! I love the AMR but definitely struggle with it at times for heavy devs and hulks, due to the crosshair. Just need practice 😅. I like pairing it with the ballistic shield and crossbow or pummeler; not the best but it's a lot of fun anyways. Looking forward to using it with the new changes to armor coming up, too!
Excited to see if youll have any other vids too!
thank you! I might make an updated version some time in the future depending on the upcoming changes
Oh howdy. My favorite rifle gets some recognition. I do love the autocannon but I feel better and enjoy the amr more. Its like a more accurate, better handling auto cannon that can be reloaded on the run. Its my bot gun. I used the amr in a bug mission by accident. I thought I was diving into automaton territory, was I surprised. Turned out to destroy bugs with ease but I have another loadout for bugs that I prefer. Bots=more precision kills, bugs=mass bug murder.. So cool you made an amr video. I learned much that I didn't yet know. Thanks. I subbed, liked & all that TH-cam requires. Good luck. Cya soon.
My version of the guide:
Just aim good Cadet!
Im new to the game and have been loving the recoiless rifle for bot busting. The amount of fabricators I've cross maped with it is absolutely hilarious 😂😂
Fuck yeah! May all know the power of the AMR!
Now that I think about it, all the early views are fellow AMR users.
This is exactly what I was looking for man, good stuff.
My build is Eruptor, Senator, Stuns with Light Stealth armor (the first one, with a bit more armor rating), along with Orbital Laser, to deal with bases, command centers or as a panic button, the OPS, because I pried myself on dealing with subobjectives effectively, the jump pack and the AMR.
Great information, thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed this. Keep going my guy. Queued Pt 2
really nice video and its very satisfying to watch.
I dont know if you will mention this later, but at 15:00 you talked about berserkers, and didnt mention that you can actually one shot them in the head, the Hitbox is very small and because of thier sway while moving its hard to hit, but it works and is really amazing if it does
yeah i forgot to mention that just bc how inconsistent it is to get on moving berserkers. when they are stunned i’ll go for headshots though
I love running the shield pack with the amr, it gives me just enough time to get the shots i need in without worrying about flinch from getting shot at
I enjoyed your whole video. Thanks
Subbed liked and commented love this long deep and niche content
Excellent vid, been working on "mastering" the sniper. The advice on hulk face plate is great, gonna try it today
I like to bring the Eruptor for bots and just prioritise beserkers even at range, redeemer makes short work of the straggling ones. Also tends to teach you to use your secondary for both ammo efficiency and safety.
Thanks for this, I can tell you've used the AMR to the fullest. Definitely going to use some of this info on my own dives
On hulk face plates; I always struggle with these head shots so I'm not an expert or anything. Still, I would think that hitting them at the 'top' position of their stride would be more useful because of the angle. I'm going to spend 3 hours trying to test that now😂
I suggest trying heavy armor with strafing run and orbital Gatling.
Using cover with heavy armor lets you ADS longer with good timing. Strafing run clears enemies that will swarm you and Gatling is low-downtime DPS
Stun grenade makes for super easy disposal of hulks.
hitting at the top of their stride is actually harder due to the animation, but it is more intuitive than shooting at the bottom of its stride
you're using the same loadout as I'm using XD, great video btw
Also for berserkers, you can take them out in one headshot. It’s kind of a weird hit box but it’s possible. I main AMR with diligence CS in a stealth build on bots. The CS allows me to take out little bots and devastators quietly and then can use the AMR on the berserkers to take them out stealthily too. I know AMR is a loud weapon but funny enough, if I walk up to a bunch of enemies on guard duty, as long as the others can’t see me and the kill takes 1 shot, they don’t seem to react much to killing berserkers other than looking in the direction where it died
Tons of excellent information in here. I learned a lot and immediately started having fun with the AMR on the field. I’m curious to see what you think after today’s update?
the update made the gun even better and also made so much of this video wrong lol. it’s now waaaaay more viable for bugs than it was before, even though i do think it wasn’t bad pre update
@@ravioli7169 still having fun with this on both fronts. Thanks for all the tips!
the 50 meter scope is arguably more useful in many engagements. exceedingly so on forested plannets but I can make the longer shots with the lesser zoom and anything further is difficult due to the reticle not being centered
One thing that helped me a lot with accuracy was to turn my mouse dpi waaay down
you will cry when you see my dpi is nearly maxed
@@lukasfrykas7188 so you play with a dpi of like 20k? Congratulations on being able to move your mouse that precise. I find 2k to be optimal for me.
@@felix2315 was running 16000, and stay at 2k, your wrists will thank you in 20 years
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
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
Hello supply pack brethren! I use it with the GL.
AMR LOVER HERR. GR8 guide dive brother🤠🤙✨✨
good video! ill definitely be using the amr more now!
12:12 Right here. If you were rocking Shield Pack, you wouldn't have to lose line of sight. At that range, you have time to hurl a Stun Grenade as it closes in, crouch, and immdiately land the one tap. You're just wasting ammo prematurely.
I deliberately ran Autocannon exclusively, because I wanted to stop using Shield Pack as a crutch. But when you master cover and concealment, Shield Pack becomes an invaluable tool for getting precise shots.
"edit Pilestedt might also be going for some military realism, as closer range shots obviously have more projectile velocity and would deal more damage in real life.
AMR and how to use it:
*Preceeds to shoot into thick fog*
*Gets headshots*
"Good luck"
Well done on the video. Keep up the great work. 😅
good vid! I use the AMR mostly on bots too and agree with pretty much everything you said
The new reprimand is i think the best primary to pair with AMR
I think it lacks a laser pointer like the Jar to be able short range shots without going into first person mode, otherwise for long range its the way to go.
I like the jetpack with the AMR but i'm solo so ammo are not really a problem. Regarding stratagem, precision strike + small barage are pretty powerfull. I may move out of the precision strike since the small barage can deal with the sauron eye.
Crosshair X/V2. AMR lets you bring Shield Pack. AMR JAR Senator-the aim skill load
Oh wow my exact loadout. I thought I was the only one.
there are dozens of us!
@@ravioli7169 hahaha that's awesome
@ravioli7169 with the buffs to the thermite grenade have you considered using that at all?
@@calebhofer9421yeah i just uploaded a new video and i bring up the thermite in it
@ravioli7169 sweet I'll have to check it out .
I've been rocking the amr on bots since before the taking of the Creek. And its funny how its only ever gotten better. Its hard to say the autocannon is as good simply because you lose the supply pack. Now that it is so strong against berserkers and gunships, its hard to use anything else.
i also started using it on the creek, hoping to see that planet again some day
i'd argue the marksman rifles are a decent pair with the amr, they overlap a lot in what they do but that can be really useful if you're not running supply pack. You can save your amr ammo for when real fighting starts and use the marksman rifle for mopping up small patrols or base garrisons. Plus the marksman rifles are really good at preventing bot drops, being one shot and high firerate and all. The one downside is you dont cover your berserker weakness, but most of the time the amr deals with them eventually and I personally like running impacts which take them out fast.
This. But also the diligence CS is a really quiet weapon compared to most primaries and it also allows for 1 tap headshots on devs. This means that not only can you save your AMR ammo but you can also stealthily clear out all little bots, devs, and rocket striders (it’s one shot to kill them with CS if you hit their rocket on the side) at a camp/obj before you engage the bigger enemies like hulks and up as long as all the shots you fired were 1 tap kills. I think only the little bots will hear the shot but they will only investigate then go back if they don’t find you. I also said this in another comment but if you shoot a berserker in the face with the AMR, you can actually one shot it and no enemies will notice. Once again, I think only the little bots will come and check (so take them out first) but everything else will just turn towards where the berserker died then just turn back if they don’t notice you. If you miss or it takes more than one shot, then they’ll discover you. But all these “stealth kills” have to be done when no enemy has sight on you and you can’t be in a spot where they can just turn and see you as soon as you fire the weapon. It’ll basically be the same as if they were looking right at you. It’s weird how it works but it’s so fun honestly
I'd swap the EAT for a commando for the added ability to take out 4 fabs in quick succession.
How do you use the supply pack if it's on your backpack?
Press 5 on pc and controller I think is one of the D-pad options.
First solo helldive I ever did was with the AMR.
Great video man. Waiting for more
i love AMR, i do SMG, ballistic shield/pummeler OR AMR/pummeler, ammopack, EMP Mortar against bots. (and some mission depening strategems).
4:50 them no scopes tho. juicy
