This video marks the first ever time that I have watched helldivers, why? I’m in that MGSV faze again where the Minecraft faze lasts a mere atom of MGSV
Keep in mind, everything we do in this game is canon so now there's canonically one helldiver that infiltrated multiple very highly secured automaton bases
Apparently there is weapon sound value in the game even though it is not discussed anywhere. Energy weapons make less noise, the anti-material rifle makes a lot. I'm surprised there isn't a suppressed pistol of some kind, I'm sure it's on its way though. The TH-camr Eravin does a lot of stealth analysis content.
Hopefully they give stealth weapons next patch, I saw somewhere they talked about it. Stealth sniper would be nice too to run with the spear and jet pack.
There is an entire sound system built in the game, when you hear something during a game. (noises like stratagems, gunfight etc) The ennemy will hear it to and can found your location, even without direct eye contact. The bugs can even smell you the closer you are to them. Coming from the C.E.O of helldiver 2 in OperatorDrewski video.
- Penalties added for soloing - Wack ass enemy AIs and game mechanics - Geo survey mission Mission complete, and HOW? They're gonna tell stories about this one, boss!
The fuck do y'all mean, AH is obviously trying to make solo playing undesirable and general difficulty higher by nerfing shit down while slacking off on bug fixing/enemy balancing
iirc the devs literally said something along the lines of, "the reason stealth mechanics aren't very consistent is because we haven't actually implemented stealth. We've just tried to make detection as realistic as possible"
For bug stealth, there are planets where you are able to cover yourself in mud. Me and my friends think it helps with them being able to smell you because less came when we rolled around in it
Very interesting, I will have to test this now. After the horrors of Draupnir, I avoid mud like the plague. But now I might just return to my home after all.
Helldivers 2 stealth is basically Sniper Elite franchise stealth mechanics And a fun fact: enemy patrols only spawn arround the player to intercept them, but they still need to see you to engage in combat, they know where you are but at the same time they dont
I remember seeing leaks about silenced weapons and that would be really cool for stealth runs. Localized Confusion is also nice for encouraging sneakier gameplay, I kinda hope we see another scout type armor bonus. The crouched recoil reduction bonus + reduced visibility to enemies would be a great combo to see. Though an armor set that gave reduced visibly and increased melee damage would also be sick for those sweet, sweet assassinations. Of course we wouldn't need armor melee damage bonus if they gave us swords hehe hoho
@@ghostlyswat12 What? They happily advertised addition of stealth weapons in the future. A scout armor even has 33% reduction to enemy detection range!
@@ghostlyswat12 There's a leaked suppressed assault rifle + arc weapons make no sound and the plasma weapons and crossbow barely make noise (minus the explosions).
I often wander off from my team to stealth, taking advantage of my less-stealthy teammates bringing in drops far away from me to quickly and quietly wipe out bases and other objectives before slipping away from the approaching patrols unnoticed. I personally prefer laser cannon rather than AMR. Knowing how to stealth has been the key to pulling many missions out of the jaws of defeat
I do this a lot, and as I get better at the game I can get myself into and out of fights more consistently, and usually get a lot of optionals done while my teammates work on the main objective
@@Gab12345BR it has but in this context the entire spawn count came to patrol around me and they just stood there even bile titans in the water, and it wasn’t till i ran to extraction that they noticed me, not saying this was stealth but there were plenty of times where i stealth bugs
Your selection of MGS tracks for this video inspired a new way to enjoy the game. YOU ARE SO RIGHT, Helldivers 2 and MGSV have a lot in common. Awesome vid, you earned a sub from me
I really hope they implement more stealth mechanics in the game. Like, completely optional stuff like in Spider-Man where you don't HAVE to be stealthy, but it's extremely satisfying to evade patrols and silently eliminate targets
I can't wait for introduction of melee weapons. I have a lot of fun playing as a knight, wearing heavy Armor and Shield. Soaking damage, and protecting friends under fire from automatons. Unfortnatly Sheild is useless against Bugs, so I hope melee weapons or some shield bash to deflect melee attacks from bags will be great introduction for more play options. PS: bringing back the game to PSN not supported countries will be even better move SONY!
I'll never understand how stealth players are this good. But they always have my utmost respect. Much love from the shock and demolitions!demolition! "Even a small mistake will be fatal." *immediately shows bot getting eviscerated because of his mistake* 😂😂😂
I like when games let you have a choice of going "loud" or "stealth", and it feels so amazing to be able to balance these two and come out victorious against the odds. Good video :D
I have been playing stealth since launch day, and i have got to mention how good the 500kg bomb is for this strategy. For example, the first mission, destroying air bases can be done by a well placed 500kg. So, instead of having to fight the enemies, you can just sneak in, drop the bomb, and run. In my experience there is always a way to stealth a objective as long as your patient and creative enough. Its why i love playing like this.
Genuinely baffled by the small amount of subscribers this guy has. With the smooth and entertaining content I was honest to god expecting it to be atleast 500k.
Great video man, quick stealth tip instead of eagle smoke the eagle airstike nd 380 is good to throw on the first mission, you can throw it from far away with your jump pack nd run away stealthily.
One reason I do find Helldivers 2 so enjoyable to play is the basically 1:1 movement and improved but similar gunplay to MGSV. It is also definitely why the game feels so good it is a slightly more polished version of MGSV movement. I hope one day they will expand on stealth. They added a crossbow which does work well but I feel like once shot enemies still can tell my position maybe im just bad at stealth. I think some cool stealth stratagems. Like a cloaking ability or a suppressor you can put on most weapons would be really cool.
Best way to stay stealth is to wait for the timer to hit 0 and call in the extraction shuttle automatically while you are far away from the zone. And you can make it there the moment it lands, thus avoiding the fight at the end. Protip: when it says shuttle arriving you still have a good 25-30 seconds left to get on so about 2 and a half minutes after the timer hits zero which is enough to get there from even the furthest point on the map
funny enough i just ran a solo stealth mission using metal gear tactics to kite around a bug planet to get a "hold my primary!" achievement. it sucks that they can tell where you are when a strategem goes off. i found myself needing to use COD zombie trains to avoid the agroed enemies while pelican was touching down.
Ah, classic. The "Yes, I did play Batman Arkham, MGS, Assassin's Creed, and played pretty much all of Watch Dogs with sniper and silenced pistol only. how could you tell?"
You should do a tier list on the effectiveness of each weapon and stratagem in stealth. I get the basics from watching the video, but I want to see how other weapons not featured would handle.
Two months ago, I had no choice but to do the MGSV thing when I was on Suicide dive against the automatons with a Level 13 player. He bailed on me with 2 reinforcements left, and it was HIS lobby. I completed the main mission objectives, and fought to 30 seconds left on the drop ship. I'm guessing everyone at Arrowhead are MGSV fans for the sneak strat to be viable.
When any type of bolter takes 3 to 5 shots to down a termagant you as a 34 year marine player and fan I know it is underrated. It should take only one shot to down a termagant

One thing to note, the pistol whip can headshot, making it able to one tap bots in stealth
Is that why I only sometimes one shot melee those tiny flying bastards when I drop bugs?
