Y'know, it's funny. Melee in Helldivers feels so different from every other game in it. In other games, melee feels like "Let's attack the enemy at short range!" In Helldivers 2, melee feels like "Come get some, you miserable anti-democratic freaks!"
Absolutely, the Constitution's bayonet while it does have heavy armor pen and possibly more damage can't stun enemies in fact it has less stagger than normal melee attacks and it really hurts because of this.
Tbf, melee on the bot front is still viable in certain circumstances cause beserkers and cheeky troopers still exist. The bushwacker would definitely be the better pick but its arguably weaker in the same situations the stun lance is good at, especially with peak physic
Not entirely true, enemies can shoot and body block one another, if you position an enemy between you and the one shooting they will take most if not all the fire. Additional our spartan here wasn't standing out in the open with his junk exposed, he had and was utilizing cover, assessing what and where the enemies present were. Fight smart helldivers.
It's pretty amusing when you consider that every single one of the mightiest beasts on earth have died to men with pointy sticks. Our level 1 starter weapon was too powerful for all of them.
As some wise person once said: "Location, location, location." [Also, Captain Murphy would be so disappointed with those bots and their Chainsaw hands. Bzzzzzzz! (Sealab 2021 reference - episode 1. The Adrienne Barbeau-bot with the double D's of justice)]
Just a heads up for people dissapointed with the damage, the Peak Physique passive only works when using the melee button, so it wont apply if your mashing the FIRE button/key with a lance/baton
Yeah I kinda shake my head at what Warhammer 40k fans think Helldivers run with. Cause it's not just guns, not just lasers, but rockets, railguns, flamethrowers, plasma, every grenade type, AI combat robots, jetpacks, deployable turrets... personal. freaking. shields. For each standard, run of the mill, nameless Helldiver. That makes makes them better equipped than any Guard Infantry. Nevermind they get personal bombers/fighter craft to rain hell plus low orbit destroyers for area bombardment and freaking sky lasers
We need the enemy morale update so we get to experience the chills from seeing that horde just waver and then full on flee from the sheer aura you emit
Democracy Officer: What is your duty? Helldiver: To serve Democracy's will! Democracy Officer: What is Democracy's will? Helldiver: That we fight and die! Democracy Officer: What is death? Helldiver: It is our duty!
A truly inspiring testimony to the might and strength of spirit the Helldivers should all aspire to reach. An aura of determination and blade surround and supply this soldier with all he needs to live. His body may lie on the grounds of the planet he walked but his fighting spirit will never fade away. Helldivers we march for Genesis then onward to cyberstan.
All other games: "We had an outside animation shop team spend six months storyboarding and producing this scene for the sizzle reel" Helldivers 2: "Just record someone playing the game"
I joined the fight a couple days before the Illuminate arrived, so my default instinct is to fix bayonets and charge the terrified rapscallions instead of retreating.
1:25 And in that moment, the Automatons came to learn one single fact, that if someone in a war fought with guns and explosives CHOOSES to wield melee, its probably not worth fucking with them

First there were the 300 Spartans, then came the 4 Helldivers.
And later the Hulk
Helldiver #2 : No prisoners!!!!!!
Lead Helldiver : NO MERCY!!!!!!!
Combine this with the " This is Democracy" emote for maximum Liberty.
Then suddenly there were no more spartans, no helldivers but also no enemies to face
(distant 500kg noises)
That was a Spartandiver hehe!!!!
1:25 You did it. You taught a machine how to know fear.
They saw bro covered in blood and oil backed into a corner ready to fight till his last breath
"Helldiver, you mind telling me what you're doing with that lance?"
"Sir, finishing the fight."
Epic 1 liners…
Once again, the humble pointed stick shows that even in the far future, it is still the "King of Weapons"
Swords: sharp stick
Bows: Stick with string launching pointy stick
Bullets: Small metal sticks at high speeds
Guns: Stick shooting smaller sticks.
Stick has never left us... It grows with us like a true friend. 🥲

THEY SAW WHAT HE DID TO THE 58 PREVIOUS GUYS!
WHO would want to be the 59th?
@@ZvertxvI have the sequel to the bible lol.
They knew the threat of a cornered beast.
The sheer iron balls of that helldiver who decided to stand his ground against murderous robots with chainsaws for hands IN MELEE.
And charged the big boss, the end didn't let us down
The lance is an absolute godsend. I was once scared of stalkers, but now, stalkers are scared of *ME!*
Does it stun them? Haven't tried it against the bugs.
@@kenethernandez6246 I imagine it stuns everything below charger as with shotguns
@@kenethernandez6246 yes it stuns them, but bugs will out-melee you and you’ll probably die if they outnumber you
@shilopnamreg6468 Got it. Thanks fam 🙏.
Thanks for giving me tips! I’ll definitely use the lance against the bugs!
Shame that last stunt with the hulk didn't work, would have been the cheff kiss.
It only didn’t work because he got killed by his team.
@@Z7Sakarino he definitely got clotheslined by that hulk, the killed by thing has always been buggy and occasionally just says you got killed by a teammate.

“So where does the territory of super earth end?”
“About right there” *point spear out at arms length*
Thinking of it now Helldivers must be pretty strong if they're able to just jab a melee weapon through the solid metal of the bots
I always figured they were secretly some sort of super soldiers, not only are they extremely strong, but they also all have amazing weapons skills. What if the only reason they can be so bad is actually the players misrepresenting how good they are?
It's not just a spear. It has an electrifying tip on the end. Much like the arc thrower, their armor conducts the entire charge through them.
Liberty is our strength.
Helldivers must be 90% Permacura stimms and 9% dip.
A well-known Bible verse on strength is:
**"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."**

The stun effect is what makes the melee weapons goated.
Absolutely, the Constitution's bayonet while it does have heavy armor pen and possibly more damage can't stun enemies in fact it has less stagger than normal melee attacks and it really hurts because of this.
Don't forget peak physique which I'd say makes melee from a joke to fun to use.
After melee, we still had to run because if the horde of chainsaws doesn't get you, the immense gunfire will.
directional shield go wrrrrrr
(for all of 10 sec before it breaks, but good thing it also recharges in like 5 sec lol)
Tbf, melee on the bot front is still viable in certain circumstances cause beserkers and cheeky troopers still exist. The bushwacker would definitely be the better pick but its arguably weaker in the same situations the stun lance is good at, especially with peak physic
@@dodobird679For bots, I still prefer ballistic shield.
You can additionally fight heavy devastators with your spear that way.
Not entirely true, enemies can shoot and body block one another, if you position an enemy between you and the one shooting they will take most if not all the fire. Additional our spartan here wasn't standing out in the open with his junk exposed, he had and was utilizing cover, assessing what and where the enemies present were.
Fight smart helldivers.
@zssdfounder4607 It is true, and not true. It's the joys, every match is gonna be hell unless you play perfectly.

Dude re-created the hot gates alone. "Now in that narrow corridor, their numbers will count for nothing". A true spartan to the end.
HELLDIVEEEEERS!!!

AUUU! AUUU! AUUU!
AWWWOOO AWWOOO AWWOOOO!
*AWOO! AWOO! AWOO!*
mod the ballistic shield into a Spartan Shield. we will dive in Hell TOGETHER!!!!

lol i think my favorite part is the Hulk at the beginning being so patient before getting to his turn to go around the corner :D
The spartan helmet and the peak physique body combo goes so hard
They look so confused lmao
"Hey, they can't do that !"
"They do that now ?"
"Fk it, I'm out"
"Yeah Same"
Even in the far reaches of the galaxy, it all comes down to man with stick.
It's pretty amusing when you consider that every single one of the mightiest beasts on earth have died to men with pointy sticks. Our level 1 starter weapon was too powerful for all of them.
*THIS IS WHERE WE HOLD THEM*
PEAK ahh moment
There is something satisfying about the sound they make when the metal crumbles to the ground.
Metal pipe.aux?
1:44 "ITS AFRAID"
There is nothing better than holding tens of automatons in one point as the last stance with the spear and actually surviving.
Now that was one hell of a last stand.

Lance is lance.
The thought of a hulk walking around called Summer is hilarious.
Bro held the chokepoint just pokeing and thrusting till things where dead, god damn
combo the spear with the new shield and a one handed smg. You got yourself a stew of closely managed democracy.
The ballistic shield really needs to be changed so it can defend you from melee attacks as well. The lance/ballistic shield combo would be sick!
WE HAD A STICK FOR THE WHOLE PLATOON!
A helldiver who I'd buy drinks with. Truly a man worth much respect.
NOOOOOO!
General Brasch? Is that you?
Nope, that is Skull Admiral Leonidas!
Automatons: We have a highly advanced technology!
Helldiver: We have a STICK! (Stick is good)
WHAT ARE YOU DOING SOLDIER?
im out of bullets sir, not out of options
Just a heads up for people dissapointed with the damage, the Peak Physique passive only works when using the melee button, so it wont apply if your mashing the FIRE button/key with a lance/baton

Wow that lance can do some good damge!!!!😆. A Spartandiver!!!!
Before we would run, now we jab them with electrical freedom
John Helldiver: EARN THESE CAPES, HELLDIVERS.
Love how the bots just had a brief pause as if processing what you did like “wtf? Is he serious?! He cant do that?!” When you pulled out the lance xD
All other games: "We had an outside animation shop team spend six months storyboarding and producing this scene for the sizzle reel"
Helldivers 2: "Just record someone playing the game"
One shot kills with the lance look so satisfying.
"But but, melee weapons are BAAAAAD on automatoooooons" - META chasers
Bad or good
Use whatever you prefer
And I so happened to love using fire and melee, even on bots >:3
Damn, now all that they need to do is to add a enemy seed indicator so we can see when it’s useful to be a spartan.
I joined the fight a couple days before the Illuminate arrived, so my default instinct is to fix bayonets and charge the terrified rapscallions instead of retreating.
When you're a Berserker approaching the Helldiver as usual, but he's got a spear and his armor is decorated with Automaton skulls
proof why the spear was the greatest weapon ever created
"Killed by SUMMER" is strangely poetic
Music and scene gave me chills!
It is surprising how one can stunlock a Devastator dead using a zappy stick, not even the spear, just the zappy stick
New Super earth commercial shows this as raw footage now. 10/10
Saying just in case, the peak physique melee damage bonus works only if you press F, not left click
his bravery will never be forgotten
That lone Viking on Samford Bridge be like:
With that voice and that attitude, I’d swear that was Bully Maguire. 😂
The bots literally stood their and calculated: we can't beat him.
The more enemies we shoot at, the better we become.
My hopes were so high against that hulk!
1:25 And in that moment, the Automatons came to learn one single fact, that if someone in a war fought with guns and explosives CHOOSES to wield melee, its probably not worth fucking with them

The title is a mood.
Even when the constitution came out, I still had to backpedal just so the bots and bugs don't knock me on my chin and stomp on me
Love this shit so much, but now id like a shield that can block melee attacks to go with it
Ballistic shield should block melee attacks. Change my mind.
