I can't believe I neglected to mention the name of the song! It's Liber-tea or Death by Endless taverns. Check it out here! Thanks again to @EndlessTaverns. th-cam.com/video/fLIQ0MgLOHs/w-d-xo.html
For anyone who wants to go ahead and watch it again, the, "music video", starts at 16:05 with credits to EndlessTaverns at 15:47. Thanks to them, because it's a great song for extract!
I've found that the Senator is a great friend for the incendiary breaker. Its damage is great, and the high armor penetration makes it absolutely perfect for dispatching medium enemies that you'd otherwise have to spend a disproportionate amount of time and primary ammo on to kill. You can shoot a brood commander's head off in only 3 shots, and you can damage a hiveguard through their face armor. Not to mention its accuracy at mid range, allowing you to deal great immediate damage outside the incendiary breaker's effective range
Another thing I love running the senator alongside fire breaker is if something is close to my buddies I can use the senator to help em out with no risk of friendly “fire” 😂
The sights on it suck dick tho. The 3rd person reticle is also ugly as fuck n makes long range shots really hard to hit You can hold reload and after a few seconds your character will spin the revolver
Not to mention that you can use it to kill warriors with a single headshot. I'm quite partial to pair it with the railgun as an anti-charger weapon which also obliterates the brood commander's heads.
Your videos are clear and concise. They have been the easiest to view and understand. I appreciate your loadouts as they have helped tremendously and have allowed me to spread even more democracy effectively! Thank you.
IIRC, I think I was trying to knock out a last minor nest or something, but it probably would have been better to stick with the group more as extract was coming up real fast. As always, a pleasure to play with you, Commissar Kai!
That's what I always did, I always follow 1 poor brave soul... help 'em out even if they don't ask for it coz I realized it that this is a co-op game... no one should be left alone, doesn't matter how skillful or brave they are. keep up guys
My motto for backpacks; "an empty backslot is a wasted backslot". That said, you don't necessarily need to take something for yourself if your squadmates can provide you with something instead, be it their shields, resupplies or ammo packs. If I see a squadmate drop their pack for another, I'll pick it up if I'm not carrying something myself, regardless if their pack is empty or not since an empty pack can be refilled
This is one of the most underrated helldivers channels i’ve come across, your bot Combat Engi loadout is my standard for any bot mission and i’ve had a bit of an out crisis on the bugs.
Was thinking of using the commando and EAT together, then got recommended this video! I'm glad I found this, you're very entertaining and informative! Keep up the great work!
As the regular anti-tank guy in our group, ill try this loadout tonight. Love your videos, its nice to see them based on helping the team and not just solo play.
Neat ideas. For me, unless “Orbital Scatter” is in play I can’t go without the Precision Strike. It’s just too good. I have learned to consistently one shot Biles and easily clear chargers all with a 78 second cooldown. All that said I think I’ll try the commando/EAT idea.
The balance between horde clearing and heavy control is more present on the bug front. I always try to fill either role, when its lacking. Thanks for the vid.
Really enjoying your content - i was just using the same loadout again and again because is what I was good at but it's been great watching these videos and getting new ideas to reinvent my playstyle. Thanks!
Thx, I never seriously thought about teaming up EAT-17 and Commando, neither ever using the gatling strategems (exept for a daily challenge). So yes, definitely gonna try this out. I'd use the stun grenades, though, to add a "hold still" for the chargers, since I already deal enough crowd damage with this loadout.
hmm thanks for the theory craft and demonstration. I would tweak it still with Eat, Commando, Rover, Gas strike. Grenade pistol, incen grenade, incen shotgun. I like to sit on the front lines and mow down bug breaches like that haha just pure preference of course. your build is effective!
Honestly having a team mate like you would help a ton, I'm not the best but I have gone on Helldive runs with minimal deaths myself, I just never have good team mates, since they always leave me stranded, forced to fight through hordes just so I can get to them, assuming I survive... Which I somehow do more often than I should
I foresee a spike in viewers when difficulty 10 releases. Solo content will be harder to produce & less useful for strategy guides, which will bring more views for template teamplay videos :)
Personally, due to my more roam-and-return playstyle, I bring the Supply Pack, the Commando, the EAT, and some form of crowd clearing strategem. Running the new Liberator Carbine, and a Bushwhacker along with impact grenades, I typically find myself clearing out enemies of any kind. Armor's a flex, but I typically go for light armor with the Scout passive
Commissar Kai… your Gas strike and Eagle strike loadout with the Spear was absolutely beautiful, although I used it against the bugs. I did struggle with the higher amount of chargers, so I will give this one a try. What do you think about the Blitzer instead of the Punisher?
The blitzer is a fantastic weapon in this loadout since it does not use ammo and the stagger on it is nuts. Absolutely a great option. I didn't use it because I wanted to keep a bit of distance, but if you want to get up close and personal with the bugs, give it a try. Only thing that might give you trouble are shriekers, so maybe bring the bushwacker as a secondary!
@@CommissarKai Thank you. Great recommendation. Now this may sound a little crazy, but how about a mix of those loadouts? Stratagems: - Commando - EAT - Orbital Gas Strike - Rocket sentry Technically, the rocket sentry could handle shriekers, but you are correct that the Punisher would do a much better job. I would call it - The rocket diver. Again, thank you, Commissar Kai. You are awesome. I really struggled finding a balance to support my team with impact in a collaborative way.
Another tip for the commando, if you unload all 4 rounds at any charger (normal or behemoth) in rapid succession it'll only take those 4 rounds to kill it, instead of 6+ to do so.
Pretty much a more polished execution of my favourite build. The commando is OP at present, plus it is laser guided to track enemies or swing it through terrain. The fact it one taps automaton factories is where it is OP. Don’t even have to get within 200m of the base.
Ayyyy, basically my bugs loadout. Fire Breaker, ‘nade pistol, impact fire Commando, EATs, Precision Strike, Eagle Napalm (for new holes and choke points) For bots my strats are Commando, spear (gunships), precision, and orbital laser Unless it’s bug blitz, bug eggs, or extermination I always run anti-tank.
I would make a small change by using the Cookout instead of the Incendiary Breaker since it can stagger the spewers, stalkers and commanders while one-tapping anything smaller than a hunter. Stalkers also go down in 1-2 headshots especially if you let the burn do its thing. For secondary, grenade pistol or senator are my top picks Edit: impact fire grenades or stun grenades are also awesome picks
As an anti heavy specialist, I approve. Ill have to try this out. Personally I prefer the impact grenades, the auto pistol, and the orbital rail cannon.
I like doing Commando + Precision Airstrike and I try using the Airstrike + stun nades to take down chargers saving the commando for large numbers of chargers or bile titans.
I've been having problems with heavy units resently in the higher difficulties. Most randoms are prepared to deal with smaller units. Then heavy units causes chaos.
Loadout: Arc Blitzer, orbital railgun, commando, EAT, Rover guard dog. Once they nerf the rover guard dog I would go with the shield backpack or the 110 eagle
I know this video's kind of old now but would you say the breaker incendiary is still effective for this loadout after the mag decrease? and is there an alternative primary?
The incendiary breaker still works with this loadout, but you'll need to make more use of the fire effect to kill enemies. For example, instead of laying on the trigger to take out a pack of hunters, just tap fire it until they are all ablaze. Only one pellet needs to hit them for them to die to the burning damage. The Arc Blitzer and cookout shotgun are both great alternatives though.
@@justsomeguywhoedits4387 Grab cutting edge first. Stun grenades are just too important to miss out on in a lot of loadouts. Plus, you get the arc blitzer, plasma punisher, and the sickle, which are ALL great weapons.
@@CommissarKai ok, thanks for all of the useful tips! I only just came across your channel but I'm already finding it super helpful! And I love your positive mindset and your advocacy for team work. You're a true helldiver sir. Subscribed 🫡
Me and my friend average about 5 melee kills per bug match each. My favorite is when you get done with a long fight and it's just a hive guardian left. I will 100% fight it one on one. Gotta get around the side and give em kidney shots for democracy till they go down 😂
Bit of a side grade. Queso cannon has the benefit of not using ammo, but it has a pretty long charge time compared to the instant rockets of the Commando. The quasar is more of a utility weapon where the commando is more of a combat one. Pretty much comes down to personal preference. Both are good!

Good work fueling managed democracy Comissar.This broadcast is sure to raise the E-10 production rate in any Helldiver.
Unrelated, but EATs are my favorite melee weapon. Very satisfying thunk.
Agree
I did this but I realized you could run the spear and have an extra stratagem hahahahahaha
Really enjoy your videos man, keep it up! *For Super Earth
Wow, maybe I should start playing that song during extractions, makes it so much more epic.
Hey! I tried this loadout today. Pretty fun! Just need more practice to get the timing of calling down the EATs and commandos. Good stuff!

Gas strike, napalm rockets, spear and railgun shot/autocannon sentry/rocker sentry is beast loadout, it closes everything against terminids

You can use the stagger to stop titans from walking away from 500kg or OPS tosses that would’ve failed otherwise as well
Kai. I brought punisher plamsa (oops) and found a battle buddy with a breaker incendiary. That combo wrecks everything that isnt a charger or titan!
Wow that song at the end was bitchin. Feels like it should be an Easter egg song like in call of duty zombies.

Oh absolutely. It's even a little better in certain situations since it has loads of stagger. Give it a shot!
