Thankyou for having a cool channel and for commenting before we had a chance to email you that your on the pod this week. Hope you get some new fans. 👊🏻
I really think an understanding of how being a game master and proper use of “failing forward” would help people realize that failing MOs and winning them effect story equally. Being a DM has made me appreciate the galactic war no matter what.
The jet brigade was the first subfaction introduced. Half of devastator spawns were replaced with armored kamikazie chrome bots and all infantry has become these (except rocket launcher infantry). The spawns also tend to favor scorchers ,berserkers and striders to close the distance on you quickly. It is a subfaction that specializes in brute force to conquer alot of teritory quickly, if not stoped they can regain 5 planets within 5 days it seems. This first time, they wrere only able to get 2 planets. It took us 2 planets to diminish thier force by half, and we routed the other half on marfark barely.
The jet bots jump packs are explosive. If you don’t damage the jump pack they won’t explode. Give them a melee to create space shoot and dive usually keeps me safe at close quarters with them
Guys, do not sleep on the Arc Thrower. Hands down my favorite weapon to bring regardless of the front you're on. It does have a 1 second windup for each shot, but once you get the rythmn the range and destructive power are amazing, and it now stunlocks Chargers and Hulks. Pair this with the ship module that adds extra jumps to nearby enemies and you're cooking.
For me, it keeps targeting dead bugs instead of live ones, and when it shoots a dead bug it won't arc. Kills the first ones pretty well but I have to keep moving sideways to get away from the bugs I already killed. I liked it but it seems to behave worse recently. Am I crazy?
arc thrower is and was my favorite weapon of helldivers 2. Since the buffs it is top-tier for all factions. Recent bot missions became so much easier with it; the increased range plus stun force is just awesome - especially on the biome of Lasath (not so much in the forest biome). But it needs definitively needs training (maybe more than other weapons). And it needs teammates and/or loudout options to deal with bile titans, behemoth chargers, and factory striders. Actually, I love the feel to dominate a huge horde of bugs crawling towards you!
@@ethanmoon3925 Yeah, there's a few weapons that have weird interactions with dead bodies, like the airburst launcher for example. You just gotta adjust or swap to another weapon if necessary.
The jet brigade thing had a hidden mechanic. On helldiver companion the invasion was a lvl 40. Even with 30k divers there, we couldn't overcome their attack rate. But on their next planet, their invasion lvl was 28. We still lost. On the third planet, it was lvl 19 and we won with 20 minutes to spare. The jet brigade planet had a red superdestroyer on orbit of whichever planet they were invading. You could only see it on the mission select map, but I was kinda hoping we would get a mission to shoot that thing down.
26:00 They did say they would slow down the production of warbonds to make the game more enjoyable instead of just pushing out warbonds every month i think they settled for one ever 2 months
Loadout of the Week: Rapid Radical Reconstruction ver.1 (no eagles) *Tested on solo Dives 7 - 10* Stratagems: Orbital Precision Strike Orbital Gas Strike Gattling Barrage or Orbital Airburst Strike Recoilless Rifle Small Arms: Purifier or Punisher Verdict Stun or Gas Grenades Armor: Light or Medium (Scout trait preferred) The methodology of this build is to destroy bot locales and patrols quickly and move to your next destination. The OPS can destroy most objectives and enemies, the OGS can destroy fabricators should the shell hit the building, and if you miss, you have another means to disrupt/distract the enemy. Bringing the gattling barrage gives you another tool to destroy buildings and soften targets however, the Airburst is phenomenal for destroying trash mobs, essentially anything thats not a hulk or tank. The RR is your problem solver as it can handle anything. The Purifier can 1 - 2 shot devastators and its semi-auto fire rate can handle any small enemies that survived your assault or have flanked you. The Verdict is your sidearms should you need something to handle a devastator or marauders if everything requires a reload. The gas or stun grenades offer a method to disorient the enemy and giving you some breathing room. Best of luck divers
There was an MO where we were asked to liberate either Clasa or Gaellivare due to the "gravity" or some such crap. That's why we're building it on Gaellivare.
My new favorite bot build is the mobile base. I run recoiless rifle with fx-12 shield generator relay, autocannon sentry and rocket sentry. My choice of gear is counter diligence, the senator, and dealers choice of grenades. My go to armor is the fs-38 eradicator. It's really nice to have mobile cover that will protect you while you reload and keep your sentry safe while they clean up a majority of the problems.
Generator relay is under used. Terminal? Relay. Extracting? Relay. Hellbomb? Relay. Soil sample? Relay. Brought this on a whim before I realized that relay is a great support tool.
Wow. Yeah you guys are fkn awesome for shouting out other channels. Super Earth Salute for sure. I like to think I found all the coolest channels already as I do search and doom scroll trying to find new creators. His channel I def found a couple weeks ago, good dude.
3:30 there was a new variant of the jet pack bot as well , it was litle bit bulkier than the normal jumpack bots , it was dificult to see thou lol (also there were normal jump pack bots mixed as well , so that made it even harder to spot them among the 20 + jumpack bots that jump you out of nowhere xD)
Solutions right there for your cowboy build: The shotgun that is only available on the map by SEAF corpses + throwing knives, senator, a machine gun of choice, thermite (instead of TNT).
Btw for Liberty Day they WON'T wait for the Tuesday after, whatever they are going to do/drop WILL happen on the actually day, in this case Saturday the 26th
It would be both good for the dss and the lore if they give weighted votes for divers that participate in major orders. This way itll end up above the bots more often
Just got done with LVL 9 bots....Did LVL 10's yesterday....I play both sides BUT The work we've put in for the DSS...defending LESATH is definitely more important 🎯💯
you gotta at least have 1 thumbnail with the hippo moo deng please we also just got a warbond maybe a month ago for the poison theme, so maybe warbonds are still on schedule. a question for next podcast i think is an interesting topic is the line between theme skins vs what the game dev says that they dont want to go down the line like fortnight of making silly skins and even cod are doing silly skins that are outside of the themes of helldivers. cowboy load out - we have the senator - what would the primary weapon and support weapon be? - my take is primary is duo wield revolvers - then support weapon is a rifle cowboy armor - what kind of passive should it have? XD (press a hot key to spawn a magical horse haha)
Fluffopotamus is more creative than modern day pokémon, at the point I gave up on it I remember seeing a pokémon that was just an icecream cone with eyes, I just stared at it for a phew seconds then turned it off right there and haven’t played it since.
Out in the woods hunting or camping? or both? BTW do you need to pay monthly on patreon or something to be able to join the discord and maybe play with you guys sometime?
Why is it most gamer husbands have the same experience with their wives. Lol my wife plays tablet/phone games too, even when I'm doing the thing and spending time with her. Haha
Let me set the stage… drop in and for some reason you find yourself-by yourself. You’re trying to complete the radar but keep dying- ask for help- die again- then say I have stalkers here too- no one helps nor acknowledges me… should I be annoyed with my “team “ How can we fix this. If you wanna be alone don’t join a team
Voting is only good if the populace is informed. Right now...I'll give you one guess on whether the populace of the game is informed and who's fault it is.
God I hope they don’t bring in cowboy hat helmets and western themed armor shit. But the cash shop is coming sooner or later. Hopefully it doesn’t turn into D2’s over bloated and overpriced scam.
@@SaltyNerdGaming every chaff enemy was replaced w jet packs. It was a mostly up close melee sub faction of bots. Made the creek look like Childs play. You would’ve loved it man. It was absolutely epic. Bot drops of just jet packs 🔥

Load out name - "Shock and Awe"
That’s good.
YES this was my first thought as well!

Good advice
Light pen weapons tend to not make them explode...mostly.
They picked that planet and not super earth because it had a certain gravitational pull to support the space station
@@tylercc8370 indeed, usually it’s the last shot that hits its then tuck and roll

Salty: "So what was the Jet Brigade?"
Me & Khryst: "Extinct".
Hell yeah brother 🫡
This
more like "fireworks show"

Space trucker just came out, that's hauling in space.
Wonder if there will be space lot lizards.
When you switch to the Dutch Butters highlights, be sure to cue up the benny hill soundtrack 🤣 Great episode!!!

Arc Mayhem perhaps is an appropriate name for loadout.
Perhaps
I think you should call the arc thrower loadout "Dutch's Pride" just for the lolz
Loadout name: kung fu build. He's jumping around kung fu fighting with expert timing
Arc thrower is just anti bot infantry, anti devestator, and bullies hulks. Takes care of half the fight by itself.
It would be both good for the dss and the lore if they give weighted votes for divers that participate in major orders. This way itll end up above the bots more often
22:40 dude... lever action shotty and the senator?! And the armor Dutch mentions. hell yeah. Cowboys from Hell....Divers lol.
Love it!
It's also due to the gravity well of that planet it needed to be perfect sized as well as being close enough to the reaources we took from the bots.
Always a good reason to build your space station in the middle of enemy territory. lol
Name for this Loadout - The Surgeon
He uses his tools very precisely, and Is a medic after all
Perfect.
Y'all should try the first game and see what other stuff it has weapon wise and such. After that say what you want taken from it and put on HD2.
Not a bad idea
Dutch is a cool grandpa.. confirmed
Welcome back boys!
Glad to be back 🫡
9:30
Me who witnessed some of the first ever thargoid encounters
Just got done with LVL 9 bots....Did LVL 10's yesterday....I play both sides BUT The work we've put in for the DSS...defending LESATH is definitely more important 🎯💯
The dss needs a specific type of magnitosphere. That's why it's being built there.
Thanks!
The shock n bop em loadout
Next thumbnail gonna HAVE to be Liberty Day themed especially depending on what day it drops, either on or right after it
The predator loadout lets you see stalkers in a hazy thermal. Call it 6th sense.
Shhhhit. Need that for sure. Lol
Love shooting the jet brigade bots out of the air lol. Its so much fun lol. But tbh I have basically only used the purifier since it's buff
My buddy and I finally got off of work soon enough to finish helping the last hour or so.
good job helldiver!
Background gaming is a G
They have same jump packs as we do now
22:26 Well I got good news for this commenter, one of the upcoming warbonds IS cowboy themed
Cool video guys
nice comment man! lol
@@SaltyNerdGaming excellent reply dude 😎
Jump pack!
That was waayy too easy😂
Im still waiting for my legally distinct lightsaber
Elite Dangerous had Aliens
Ahhh. I didn’t realize. Thanks
I know the jetpack just got buffed, but it would be cool if it replaced your dive with a short boost dash for a bit of it's cooldown
I would absolutely love this. We should have the option to press our Dive button after igniting the jump pack to dash in the desired direction.
you gotta at least have 1 thumbnail with the hippo moo deng please
we also just got a warbond maybe a month ago for the poison theme, so maybe warbonds are still on schedule.
a question for next podcast i think is an interesting topic is the line between theme skins vs what the game dev says that they dont want to go down the line like fortnight of making silly skins and even cod are doing silly skins that are outside of the themes of helldivers.
cowboy load out - we have the senator - what would the primary weapon and support weapon be? - my take is primary is duo wield revolvers - then support weapon is a rifle
cowboy armor - what kind of passive should it have? XD (press a hot key to spawn a magical horse haha)
Elite dangerous is the Space trucker simulator XD I have said this for years and people get mad at me for it.
I'm curious to know who the 132 divers on Super Earth are.
Fluffopotamus is more creative than modern day pokémon, at the point I gave up on it I remember seeing a pokémon that was just an icecream cone with eyes, I just stared at it for a phew seconds then turned it off right there and haven’t played it since.

The discord is free. And yes. We need to figure out some kind of way to let community members play with us sometimes.
We must liberate Lesath!
Not happening without a Major Order. Lesath is a 2.5% decay rate.
Unless we get 80k+ helldivers that planet is not getting cracked.
@@graveyardshift6691 Agreed. During the jet brigade or three or four days ago it was only at .5%

Talking about themed stuff, isnt that wierd that swedes dont have anything viking related?

the defender
They should let us dual wield pistols
that would be so rad!
%100 dual wield any one handed weapon. Make it a loadout selection. Imagine xbow with a pistol or better yet a melee weapon in off hand.
Two pistols instead of primary would be cool
Voting is only good if the populace is informed. Right now...I'll give you one guess on whether the populace of the game is informed and who's fault it is.
Agreed

Or something lol
God I hope they don’t bring in cowboy hat helmets and western themed armor shit. But the cash shop is coming sooner or later. Hopefully it doesn’t turn into D2’s over bloated and overpriced scam.
There must always be a balance
make the people at your work play helldivers they don't need to be playing pokeman go
