What I need now is a juiced up compound bow, with better close range melee weapons. Along with the throwing knife, the ultimate stealth set will be complete. Compound bow should have a split shot and triple shot for Terminids; they can take from Horizon arrow loading, which I feel would be super fun when running from Terminids etc.
Bow sounds dope. I'm really hoping they eventually make throwing knife a secondary with retrievable ammo so you can still use stuns. I was also really hoping you'd be able to hit a Hulk in the eye and kill it, but I guess that was a little too cool for them.
Just got done watching a video that was saying they were inaccurate and alerted enemies anyway. Their gameplay involved crouching behind a rock in front of a group of infantry and throwing one straight at them. It was hilariously bad, you could tell they still have no idea how enemy detection mechanics work at all. Glad to see someone who actually knows what they're doing demonstrating exactly what I thought they were capable of. It looks like they do throw a bit to the left though, as many things in this game do...
just watched the same video when you call these things out their fans usually come foaming at the mouth haha. Same thing happened with the mechs. these guys are in such a rush to get content out they don't take the time to learn the kit. How can you possibly have figured out all the mechanics in 24 hours or less. have things click even now after 6 months and 100 plus levels.
Lmao i literally just watched that same video right before this one 😂😂😂 the rush to release “content” has these guys putting out blatantly false information because they don’t actually take the time to really understand the new stuff in game
really all we need now is being able to melee while your grenade slot is out and a… *436-CBA Compound Bow* *Silently* fires powerful, reinforced arrows, capable of piercing *Medium Armour* with *Low Stun.* Arrows can hit three targets and be retrieved before breaking and needing to be replaced. Has a limited quiver of *6 arrows* (5 arrows * 3 retrieves = effectively 18 arrows). Due to its sluggish speed, low stun and powerful punch, the 436-CBA Compound Bow is best utilized in stealth scenarios where enemy units must be taken out silently with only one shot. Additionally, the Compound bow has a special drawback mechanic; aiming draws the bow back and due to restrictions on human physique, will be let loose after 8 seconds, however this mechanic is counteracted by the (new) “Peak Physique” Armour Perk, extending it to 16 seconds.
Awesome, except when I throw a knife (or even a thermite now for that matter) it goes WAAAY to the left of my target.. idk if its a bug and what causes it but holy shit I literally cant hit anything despite being aimed directly at it.
Yeah it's been going well. Past month or so has been a bit rough because of Dev decisions but this last patch seemed to be going in the right direction. I'm really excited for Elden Ring though.
If you hit your shots, it can be incredible. The ability to take out enemies without alerting others is a nice perk even if you want to play aggressive. It one shots any devastator to the head and can 2 shot striders to the body. Being able to take out fabricators is what does it for me though. Definitely going to be be using it more often.
Various weapons can one-shot them on a head shot. Looks like a well placed knife deals as much as my Diligence Counter Sniper (or less but still enough to get the kill)
Not sure what they have cooking but it's possible. I wouldn't expect it too soon but I can see them doing it down the line considering the smoke mechanic they added in the game.
Tried this exact combo but all the enemies just aggro'd anyway and called a bot drop, despite me never being in LOS. Glad to see it works like it should for some people though. The headshot on the devastator was 10/10
If an enemy sees another one getting attacked, it will go on combat alert. Alert enemies will also alert nearby inactive ones to search. Once alerted they will never return to their lowest alert state.
All my hopes for the throwing knives were squashed in this upd, I wanted a stealthy grenade that you could reuse after use but got a really bad grenade only used for looking cool
I'm going to be honest this loadout works on any difficulty except helldive. The spawn rates especially of those new gunships is INSANE. Literally a 4-Gunship patrol every 2-3 minutes
Lol, how'd you get so few enemies (and no strong ones) on level 9? That looked like a level 5 outpost lol. You didn't even get patrol spawns walking up behind you as you approached.
If you check my channel I only used throwing knives in Cyberpunk haha. When I heard they were adding this I knew my entire playstyle was about to change
@@Suhayl_Khatib The crosshair is so far off that really the only way to get better is to practice with it. There's not many tips I can give because of how horrible the aiming is with it, you just have to learn how to judge throws quickly.
the fact you can't pick them up is infuriating. You'd think in exchange for AOE damage which imo is far better and inability to close bug holes and bot fabricators without needing to bring a support weapon or grenade pistol you'd get more then just, silent takedowns and double the throwing items. btw you can destroy bot fabricators with explosives if you just lob them throw the door when it opens no needs to only aim for the vents.
They weren't alerted so they had no reason to call one. I think that's the purpose of the throwing knife. To be silent. It's actually impressive that it manages to one hit a Heavy Devastator.
They weren't alerted so didn't call it in. But the throwing knife and crossbow are both really quiet so you can clear full bases if you play it right. The build is really fun to use. It takes a little bit to get used to the throwing knife though. The crosshair is way off.
The only thing insane here is your aim with those things. Apart for killing a charger on 4 leg hits these things have nothing going for them except style points.
Can we not pick up the knives after throwing them? That's pretty dumb... Like really dumb. How did nobody think to make them something you can pickup from an enemy corpse? That would be perfect for stealth.
Yeah it kinda sucks that you can't pick them up. You do get all of them back from 1 supply pack though, so if you run the support backpack you should never run out.
if you play with supply pack, you have 40 knives to work with. Combine it with the crossbow and you can have some really solid stealth gameplay. It's also very fun to use.

Explosive bow as a support weapon with arrows as a backpack sounds so sick.

Gonna use this video for reference now.
Not everyone understands that the Knife in the grenade slot basically means stealth take downs become a thing.

@@rightnut6270 lol yep exactly that video. Throwing knives at groups of enemies as if that hasn’t always been a no no for stealth in this game

I want rocket devastator's backpack😋
Damn son that was surgical. Well done
I don't think these weapons are super good, but I think YOU are an amazing player! :O That headshot devastator was a wicked shot.
First person I’ve seen using the knife correctly
So calm with those knife throws
What about the viper commando armor's melee buff for stealth or do you need scout armor?
The silent treatment.
This is WICKED!! 🎉 I can’t wait for more stealth content in Helldivers >:)

The helldivers content is doing well dude ❤
Yeah it's been going well. Past month or so has been a bit rough because of Dev decisions but this last patch seemed to be going in the right direction. I'm really excited for Elden Ring though.
I thought you were gonna blow up the Bunker with the knife too haha that would have blown my mind
They dont let you pick up the throwing knife after throwing it? why?
Is the crossbow more viable now if you are not doing stealth? Im kinda bored of Diligence CS. It's very good but I want to try something new.
Not sure about solo game, but in a group - absolutely
@@Vadim_Ibragimov Yeah, I always play with other 3 randoms. I'll give it a try.

John Helldiver is the most official "unofficial" Splinter Cell.
All I know now is you are on the wrong side of hystory, Save the CHILDREN!
I answer SOS calls on Vernen Wells and then play solo on Marfark. Gotta keep skills sharp to save the children.
There are no children. Just an illegal bot broadcast tower sending a fake distress signal.
If Metroid taught me anything it's that we can save 20.seconds if we kill the children.
He’s part of the diversion force.
Crossbow is even better know. My fav weapon finally does what it's supposed to do from the beginning 😎
These knives can even one shot berserkers in the head, with enough practice it can be really strong
Wait, you can just oneshot Devastators with the knife?
Various weapons can one-shot them on a head shot.
Looks like a well placed knife deals as much as my Diligence Counter Sniper (or less but still enough to get the kill)
it'd be pretty cool if we could pick up the throwing knives back ngl.
NGL, that was nasty
Finaly, a proper stealth build
the knife isnt stealth friendly. It alerts all bots around you

Okay returning to the frontline to grind this warbond.
This game is so good

If only we could pick the knives back up
I have to try this
i need a helldiver 7ft brute class that just uses fist
We just need an arm crossbow or dart launcher for secondary!
I am Rambo now!!! i love this fucking game!
Think we'll get a warbond based on stealth? With suppressed wepaons and all?
Not sure what they have cooking but it's possible. I wouldn't expect it too soon but I can see them doing it down the line considering the smoke mechanic they added in the game.

probably a stealth option right ?
Are you able to pick up the throwing knife after use?
No
what's insane is your fov
You should be able to pick up the knives after you throw em.
QUIVER BACKPACK WHEN!?
All my hopes for the throwing knives were squashed in this upd, I wanted a stealthy grenade that you could reuse after use but got a really bad grenade only used for looking cool
i was hoping it would be a melee weapon with a ranged attack but instead we got different contact grenades
Does it make noise when hit? If not there might be a chance it’s usable no cap
It makes a little noise but definitely allows for some cool stealth routes on outposts if you hit some nice headshots.
say. Your pretty good
Can you blow up the vents with the knife though? Guessing not.
No, only the crossbow.
just wish they didnt immediately detect you right away and you could distract them by throwing them in another direction
Is this that "git gud" I keep hearing about?
Just waiting for my sword!
Sword of Liberty or Hammer of Justice. I'm down for either.
Can you retrieve knives?
No, but I'm hoping they change that in the future.
I'm going to be honest this loadout works on any difficulty except helldive. The spawn rates especially of those new gunships is INSANE. Literally a 4-Gunship patrol every 2-3 minutes
This is helldive. I have the video of the full game on my channel where I full clear the map and extract.
if only you could pick up the knifes back
Yup, this doesn´t happen to me.
Okay this looks like a ton of fun
It's amazing
Lol, how'd you get so few enemies (and no strong ones) on level 9? That looked like a level 5 outpost lol. You didn't even get patrol spawns walking up behind you as you approached.
This video is less than 1 min of play......that's how.
Full video is on my channel if you want to watch the whole game. The enemies on outposts are RNG. You can get mostly small enemies or 10 devastators.
Eh then your out of ammo and have to re stock everything. That was just 1 compound.
Is this Cyberpunk 2077 or Hell Divers 2?
If you check my channel I only used throwing knives in Cyberpunk haha. When I heard they were adding this I knew my entire playstyle was about to change
@@Not_Harvard Yep, same. Although I did add Hacking as well, since my Stealth gameplay wasn't quite stealthy enough. 😆
I kinda expected we could retrieve thrown knives out of defeatrd enemies
that needs to happen
Whats your secondary?
I was trying out the new shotgun secondary. Barely used it so far but it does decent damage.
Not for those who have less than 30 FPS.
THE CROSSBOW DESTROYS FABRICATORS?
Yes, they added it in the most recent patch.
Well I know what my new weapon combo is going to be.
If you like stealth, it's so much fun to use.
How do I get knives

How did you get so good with the throwing knife?
Just messed with it for a few hours and got a feel for how to aim it.

lmao, killing like 10 bots: "THIS COMBO IS INSANE!!!!!!"
Did you just deal with a bot drop before the clip or were the bots actually so flabbergasted that they didn't call a drop.
They weren't alerted so they had no reason to call one. I think that's the purpose of the throwing knife. To be silent.
It's actually impressive that it manages to one hit a Heavy Devastator.

No devastators, no hulks. Yeah very easy, that’s why. I play hell dive difficulty. Not a chance
Whole video is on my YT. I only play helldive. You have nothing on your channel so you could be playing diff 4 and just talking shit.
new crossbow is better JAR imho
Being able to kill fabricators is ridiculously good. And it has really decent range so it makes stealth much easier.
Stealth is optional for this mission

tf is that FOV 💀

Bro playing sticks and stones
Yeah, insanely bad.
what's the point of this... it makes no sense to take this over a grenade, especially when you can't even retrieve up thrown knives.
Stealth.
stealth is fun, although for getting stuff done you'll see me chuck airstrikes at fabricators before dipping.
It looks cool and is fun
we have primaries and support weapons that can take grenade spots. This isn't the first month of release anymore.
if you play with supply pack, you have 40 knives to work with. Combine it with the crossbow and you can have some really solid stealth gameplay. It's also very fun to use.
does it always aim for head or it's you that good?
It's pretty hard to aim. I've been practicing today.
