Since you all know what I think about it, what are your thoughts on the Truth Enforcers Warbond? If you haven't purchased it yet watch the video and let me know! 😃
The shotgun is actually a really strong support weapon if you use it just as a stun gun. It seems if any of the pellets connects its can stun a whole crowd in 1 or 2 shots. I've been using it with stun ammo only along with the senator, impact nades, and i bring the guard dog so it can kill chaff and even devistators while stunned. Also bring a laz cannon to deal with everything else the dog/stun shotty can't. it leaves 2 strats to play with. Also 1 shot to hulk backs will stun them so you can dive and shoot to stun and just pop the pack with the ap ammo or senator
The dedication to earn the extra medals to unlock the plasma pistol and do test runs with it and then edit a video in like 7 hours after the warbond was launched is crazy. Much respect.
@@GlitchUnlimitedidk if you already do it but i recommend doing super helldiver missions only focusing on primaries and extract quickly and grind operations in the space between warbonds to fully do them easie
I feel like dead sprint, stamina, experimental, and Vitality would be an interesting combo since you can sprint for super long then when you stim you also get DR while you regen both health and stamina, pair that with the light medic armor as well?
Thats an ideas for the dead booster I was trying to think of tech. But can't lol. Feels more like a meme booster like the more reinforcement booster and the other one. Lol 😂
@@Sopranos990meh, we already have weapons for them, all armor types for them and we have Viper commando's paint for all vehicles, i would rather see a stealth based warbond
Something i noticed is that most of the weapons so far have been more effective on the bugs than the bots. So its nice that Arrow Head are introducing more weapons that are great bot killers.
@@TheNightOwlKSI haven’t tried it since the buff, as in my experience it’s a lot easier to land those burst shots which do actual damage compared to the lasers which require constant aim on a body part to dish out its full sustained damage. On the bot front, I find they move too much in for me to keep my aim on their heads with the scythe, while the sickle allows me to get 2 or so headshots which ultimately drop bots faster. Again, I haven’t tested the scythe since buff, but that’s why I prefer the sickle over it
@@yigityildirim9877 the sickle is good up to like level 7 maybe. After that it's useless as most enemies are mediums. If the primary can't take out rocket striders, then it's essentially useless for lvl9-10.
Charged shots from the loyalist don't use more ammo than uncharged shot, so if you're trying to conserve ammo then charged shots are the way to go. You're using more ammo than you need to otherwise.
Crazy that he didn’t realize this while testing. The pistol seems really strong with the extra damage from charge tbh, definitely gonna be my new main secondary
@@KriminalKat It just renders his advise about not charging shots to conserve ammo not only completely null, but is the exact opposite of what you'd want to do.
The new shotgun is highly effective against stalkers as it breifly disables the invisibility with the stun rounds so if you have a sentry near by it can target them long enough to get a kill.
@@redrum_bd1036 I agree, it's a glorified assault rifle without it.. Even if they made the ergo really bad when one handing. It's an assault rifle in my books until they change it. It's good though
@@redrum_bd1036 I'm in the same boat as you, I have no idea why they made it an SMG and didn't make it 1 handed, which is pretty much the only distinguishing and beneficial difference I see between SMG's and AR's.

Medium armor pen primary for shield that isn't the crossbow!!!!!" But who knows? Maybe they'll change it.
Dead sprint would be super helpful while wearing heavy armor. Trying to keep up as a chonk-diver you use your Stims anyway. A booster really only useful if you’re planning a loadout with a group in mind.
the Dead Sprint does give a whole new meaning to the "Run like your life depends on it," and as a self-appointed Diver Medic, I like the added pressure (it's fun for me at least) during the mad dash towards extraction at the other side of the map when all of the post-objective patrols have spawned in. Here's a loadout for y'all to try out, I call it "Mage Diver" (no bullets) Armor Passive: Engineering Kit (+2 Throwables) Primary: Blitzer (Bugs), Scorcher (Bots) Secondary: Torcher (Bugs), Dagger (Bots) Throw: Gas, Booster: Firebomb Hellpods Stratagems: * Quasar Cannon * Supply Pack * Napalm Barrage * Orbital Laser
Honestly dead sprint seems like its almost entirely covered by the potent stims, they give you a speed boost while not draining your stamina, or if you're out of stamina and stim, you get a speed boost and refill your stamina. I don't usually advocate for abusing stimulants, but for helldivers I say its A-Okay.
Nice that the Halt makes use of the 2 Separate Barrels to have Different Rounds in them. I've heard for the Real Life Counterpart, Police would have Bean Bag Shots on one Side and Normal Shells on the other.
Does anyone else get annoyed when you throw a Orbital Railcannon Strike at a Hulk, Tank, or Factory strider and for some reason your coworkers back on the destroyer seem to think you want the regular Strider to receive Liberty's Judgment? I've died too many times to this happening.
It's exactly why I never use that stratagem. It's bad in clutch. I'd rather just use 500kg or OPS. Even strafing run gives much more value. They'd have to decrease CD time and turn it into a salvo of railgun strikes for me to consider using.
@@SolarThemedDance At bugs it is really nice. At bots, i dont see use for it. most of the time stun pellets just bounce off armor. Making spread tighter and stun pellets pen2 also would make it really good on both fronts imo
@absolutelyliberated1357 they do, but they don't usually have an accompanying cape and card background. This is the first time that's come up in the store.
1:00 the issue is that the stat card of the Purifier shows it's max charged damages, while the Pistol has the correct one. On semi auto, the purifier doesn't do 500 damages, but 175. Charged pistol shot does 350 damages
As someone who love plasma weapons in 40k (yes I overcharge every time because it's fun) I am glad I have a primary and a secondary charge up plasma weapon to add more load out variety.
I believe overall that this warbond is an excellent addition with its weapons and perk for the armors. I’m mostly impressed with the aesthetics of the warbond as we desperately need this color scheme for our outfits and equipment. That booster is a disappointment though, I see people are finding a remedy for it through vitality but if you have to run a booster that typically isn’t run when you have better options that’s still doesn’t make it any better. I’d rather use a solid set of boosters with zero drawbacks as a team. Not forced to use ones to patch another boosters problems. Great video!
The reprimand is basically the G36C from Modern Warfare 3 (2011) can tell from the look & reload animation in first person mode. Fun high power assault rifle with the aerodynamics of a sub machine gun. Very bouncy recoil but it would put in work once you got use to it.
For bugs I definitely prefer the Blitzer. Medium armour penetration with a pushback AND unlimited ammo is S tier with crowd control. Solo controlling multiple stalkers is easy. Love the new armour colours, would’ve liked something similar with the peak physique modifier.
I think of it as being like an SMG chambered in .45 ACP rather than 9mm. It fires hard hitting rounds with serious drop off (I believe the same projectile as the Verdict pisrol). It might have the power of a rifle, but it doesn't have the range.
dead sprint and my heavy armor with friends having the vitality booster and stim guns or the stim booster, I'm never going to fall behind with my light armor brothers and sisters again.
The one thing I really like about the patterns on the exo, pod and the pelican is that they actually lack the yellow and white icons that were on the other patterns.
Glad that we got some decent bot killers because there are so many viable weapons for bugs because many of them can be hit with light pen but bots are almost impossible with a low pen primary. Was honestly bored of using plasma punisher and crossbow on bots. Hope they finally get round to adding the LAS-13 Trident soon as it was so good in HD1
Dead Sprint is great when combined with the more stamina and super stim boosters. There's a lot of maps and missions that have a ton of map crossing to get all objectives done. If you're going to be speed running outposts and side objectives, this will increase your mobility by a ton, and help with heavy armor divers keep up.
Dead sprint should be that when you run out of stamina, you run twice as fast but it consumes your heath at a slightly bigger rate than how it is now, kinda like an emergency "get out of there" booster because the only time you would need to keep running instead of just stopping is if you were being chased, i think this would wake it worth a booster slot
Armor: any armor with the med kit passive primary: slugger secondary: dagger throwable: frag grenades stratagems: the spear, 110 mm rocket pods, orbital gas strike, and the EMS mortar century (for the bugs)
Things to improve the SMG; Faster reload (25% faster) Less recoil (25% less) Another nice addition would be instead of JUST a lighter caliber magazine, give us a drum mag (75 rounds) that has the same power as the base game SMG. Its only really great on single fire or controlled bursts which doesnt pay homage to the utilisation of an SMG It might be a heavy SMG but there's no way my arms also become heavy trying to reload it
The new weapons in this warbond; along with the purifier buff, really have cemented how important medium penetration weapons are. The new shotgun is very strong even on super helldive, as it can manage everything up to alpha commanders. Maybe we will get an armour and hp overhaul to help validate light penetration weapons, because as it stands, they really underperform.
Dead sprint is best used if someone has vitality equipped. You take almost no damage from dead sprint if those two are combined Something to also note, dead sprint cannot kill you
If the recoil was not absurdly high, it would be a good gun. Problem is, currently its only good for killing clouds, not acting like an SMG, its just the new better looking adjudicator. As for the Halt, the stun rounds are the best rounds vs bugs. If you bring the Liberator guard dog, it kills everything you stun for you. You almost never get touched by enemy's.
I like the combo of the halt stun with the LMG and supply backpack. the halt frees up my nade slot for anything I want so thermite baby then having the plas pistol as backup since it can deal with medium armor make this pretty flexible
If you wanna speed run a mission: Experimental Infusion booster Armour that gives extra stims Dead sprint booster Jet pack Stim pistols You can sprint all the way across the map, also using the jet pack, then stim up when approaching enemies. Not good versus high level bots probably, but you can abuse the hell out of stims this way.
I hope we get more "automaton killer" warbonds. Anywho. Tips on how to use dead sprint effectively: Equip vitality and stamina booster, vitality actually helps take less damage and we tested this and stamina will do its job, especially on snow planets. Any other booster can be whatever if you have a fourth man, really helpful in getting out of sticky situations especially on higher difficulties.
Oh blaster pistol my beloved. As a Star Wars fan this bond is right up my alley. And I’d honestly find dead sprint useful against bugs. Sacrifice HP to not get mauled? I’ll take that shit
The SMG and shotgun are looking better than other weapons on release but they still need help. The SMG needs a little bit less recoil. and a bigger mag. The shotgun needs a hotkey to switch between round types and a bigger mag
If the dead sprint booster would give you a speed boost when stamina runs out, it would make more sense and would be an alternative to the stamina booster.
its kind unreal how different the the hp consumption of the the death sprint booster turns out when you have also the hearth shaped booster in your team.
I think a better idea instead of Dead Sprint would be a booster called something like Dead Man walking, where after taking fatal damage you stay alive for like 5~ seconds and essentially become immune to damage before you die and basically let you get in a few more kills before you truly die(kinda like Iron Will from DRG)
My loadout would be : SMG halt to cover most enemy types Senator/ PLAS-15 to take heavy or medium targets Stun grenade to buy you time Unflinching armor for not to get CC health booster/optimization pod to increase your surviviability For stratagems: eagle strafe/strike can take out any targets orbital strike for lower cooldown like an emergency strat can be replaced for gatling or sentries for crowd control autocanon/any rocket launchers can take objectives and heavy targets from a far distance last slot is very flexible but my preference would be orbital flame barrage or 380mm barrage to nuke the area take 2 strat slots: commando + shield generator HMG + supply pack
with the Reprimand it takes ~12 shots to a stripped leg to kill a Behemoth Charger, unfortunately it does not have the 1-handed property so it cannot be used in conjunction with the Ballistic Shield and you can't fire it behind you while jogging away. This thing is less like an SMG and more like a shorter range Adjudicator. The slow rate of fire basically means the semi-auto and burst fire modes are useless as there is plenty of time to stop shooting to conserve ammo/manage recoil, so tap firing the thing is easy and you still have the option to let it sing if something gets too close for comfort. I believe the Halt's stun rounds affect Chargers if you hit their sack, so that opens them up to being killed by unconventional Support Weapons i.e Autocannon to the front, Machine Guns to the back or a Supply Pod dropped on its head. The Halt is great for a combo I used to run with the pre-nerf Pummeler - Use the Pummeler to stun a Bile Spewer and then whip out the Senator and blow its head off, but the Halt can do that without the need to switch to a Secondary while allowing you to get close enough to max out the damage without getting puked on.
I was expecting the smg to be 1 handed, just with more recoil than it already had, but I like how powerful it feels. I saw someone already said it but I really like the Doubt Killer armor and it reminds me of the Jin-Roh Wolf Brigade armor.
I highly recommend charging shots with both weapons, it's brilliant for ammo efficiency and to a lesser extent CC. The SMG is more like an LMG to be honest. It's higher dps than the ARs IIRC. With the Halt, I think aiming for the leg of striders will take less ammo, and for hulks the strategy is one stun to the vents and switch to flechettes. You can easily get behind flame hulks once they have it activated (they can't actually turn as well when firing), but bruisers take a bit of risk. It's completely doable if you go close and bum rush it fast enough to beat the innacuracy and arm traverse though, at least in light armour. In general it has become my favourite weapon for bots, managing to dethrone my beloved Eruptor.
In my opinion, Halt can be greatest weapon with some research. Like, shooting charger's butt to stun and safely throw termite, stunning stalkers, supportive stun... It has massive potential and I want you fellas to look into it.
I'm not saying it's good but dead Sprint is economic. What I mean is, instead of using a stim every time your stamina is depleted, you can run until your health gets low, then use one stim to replenish both. You're actually saving stims doing it. I think this booster will work fine on bugs, not so on bots because of the range weapons.
Yes I realized that after posting…truly a sad day….oh well! The more varied weapons to spread democracy, the better! No matter how many hands you have to use!
How is the "Unflinching" armor passive? Merely "reducing" staggering feels like a lazy half-measure. For a whole Armor Passive it should ELIMINATE flinching & staggering
Bot Front: 1. Adjudicator, Defender/Pummeler, Verdict, Flash Grenade 2. Ballistic Shield, HMG or Quasar, Eagle Airstrike and Orbital Railcannon 3. Medium or Heavy with Recoil control and Explosive resistance. Bug Front: 1. Torcher/Blitzer, Uzi, Incendiary grenade. 2. Shield Pack, Quasar/Grenade Launcher, Gatling Barrage, Orbital Gas. 3. Light or Medium armor with either Gas or Fire resistance.
Considering I die in two shots all the time, as I'm a scout armor user, the Death Sprint seem useful. But that drainage speed is a bit fast, so I guess it's really not gonna give me many seconds of sprint. Finally a great SMG for the knight shield build, though.
The dead sprint seems to be a highly situational buff. Weirdly enough, probably best against melee enemies like bugs. Being able to outpace them no matter what your stamina is like. Maybe useful pursuing against fleeing human traitors of liberty and democracy but the non human variety dont retreat. Maybe if it also eliminated the debuff to aiming while out of stamina it would be better
I expected the shotgun to have much tighter spread given it uses flechettes, but it seems much more like the old breaker spray and pray with its spread pattern than something like the punidher.
Been rollling the new shotgun with a grenade pistol, thermite grenade,the auto canon, napalm barrage and 500kg bomb n fighting against the bugs.. may tweak a few things when going against bots
People disliking the dead sprint booster aren't grasping the purpose of it. Its not just "extra stamina". You still should let your stamina regenerate so you don't lose health. But when you need to haul ass to save a buddy, reposition/catch up with everyone, or in my case, run to the other end of the map to grab samples that someone left behind. You'll need to use a stim to get your stamina back fast anyways, so why not use your health most of the way, stim and get everything back, and keep trucking. Vitality booster makes it even better. Love synergies
A booster to overcharge Health woukd have been great. 50% more health for when you stim. Hp will go down slowly after a while to 100% again if not used

Use Vitality booster it actually helps to reduce that problem.
I sprinted across the entire map and only used one stim lol. I think you should retry it.
Great to see you EvaandJaviar again in the comments and I agree with you all the way!
Yeah the vitality booster makes a MASSIVE difference on dead sprint, the health drain is damn near unnoticeable when combined with vitality booster.
Dead sprint would be super helpful while wearing heavy armor. Trying to keep up as a chonk-diver you use your Stims anyway. A booster really only useful if you’re planning a loadout with a group in mind.
the Dead Sprint does give a whole new meaning to the "Run like your life depends on it," and as a self-appointed Diver Medic, I like the added pressure (it's fun for me at least) during the mad dash towards extraction at the other side of the map when all of the post-objective patrols have spawned in.
Here's a loadout for y'all to try out, I call it "Mage Diver" (no bullets)
Armor Passive: Engineering Kit (+2 Throwables)
Primary: Blitzer (Bugs), Scorcher (Bots)
Secondary: Torcher (Bugs), Dagger (Bots)
Throw: Gas,
Booster: Firebomb Hellpods
Stratagems:
* Quasar Cannon
* Supply Pack
* Napalm Barrage
* Orbital Laser

I would like a plasma ball launch similar to the quasar
The new shotgun with stun rounds pairs very nicely with the laser cannon vs bots. Stun - -> Switch to cannon for easy head shots.
YES. Too many sleep on the laser cannon on bots, halt gives a long range (ish) stun that will help with crowd control while beaming faces.
Vitality booster slows down the health drain from dead sprint. In a group of 4, its a good replacement for stamina booster
Not when your speed running for blitz missions
Nah still prefer regular stam booster just not a fan of the health drain but each to their own
Why not both and run a marathon?
@ let’s double Down. Bring a medic light armor so you can have 90% of your blood replaced with stimulates.
I still rather use something else instead of that piece of shit of a booster no thanks
Honestly dead sprint seems like its almost entirely covered by the potent stims, they give you a speed boost while not draining your stamina, or if you're out of stamina and stim, you get a speed boost and refill your stamina.

Smg is great but I wish it had 5 more rounds to be 30 rounds.
Nah, it's a UMP 45.
I was thinking the same thing.I wish I had thirty rounds in the magazine and if it has that less of rounds, it should shoot slower, that's just me

Reload is the bigger problem.

For bugs I definitely prefer the Blitzer. Medium armour penetration with a pushback AND unlimited ammo is S tier with crowd control. Solo controlling multiple stalkers is easy.
Love the new armour colours, would’ve liked something similar with the peak physique modifier.
Cookout is my favorite for bugs, especially paired with gas
I’m so disappointed that the SMG isn’t one-handed
Well it’s a heavy smg so that makes sense.
They basically just gave us a nice short range assault rifle. Can't complain but it's not much of an SMG
@@The_PotionSeller It's definitely more of a SBR than a SMG.
I think of it as being like an SMG chambered in .45 ACP rather than 9mm. It fires hard hitting rounds with serious drop off (I believe the same projectile as the Verdict pisrol). It might have the power of a rifle, but it doesn't have the range.
That would make it busted.
dead sprint and my heavy armor with friends having the vitality booster and stim guns or the stim booster, I'm never going to fall behind with my light armor brothers and sisters again.
“Orange squishy weak spot” was my Smashing Pumpkins cover band back in high school!!😂😂😂😂
The one thing I really like about the patterns on the exo, pod and the pelican is that they actually lack the yellow and white icons that were on the other patterns.
Glad that we got some decent bot killers because there are so many viable weapons for bugs because many of them can be hit with light pen but bots are almost impossible with a low pen primary. Was honestly bored of using plasma punisher and crossbow on bots.
Hope they finally get round to adding the LAS-13 Trident soon as it was so good in HD1
You are Goated getting this video out, best HD2 TH-camr ❤
Thanks so much! 🙏😀 Have a solid day TacoKiller!
Dead Sprint is great when combined with the more stamina and super stim boosters. There's a lot of maps and missions that have a ton of map crossing to get all objectives done. If you're going to be speed running outposts and side objectives, this will increase your mobility by a ton, and help with heavy armor divers keep up.
This is my new personal favorite warbond, it's cool looking and has some really good weapon, I especially love the halt
Dead sprint should be that when you run out of stamina, you run twice as fast but it consumes your heath at a slightly bigger rate than how it is now, kinda like an emergency "get out of there" booster because the only time you would need to keep running instead of just stopping is if you were being chased, i think this would wake it worth a booster slot
Armor: any armor with the med kit passive
primary: slugger
secondary: dagger
throwable: frag grenades
stratagems: the spear, 110 mm rocket pods, orbital gas strike, and the EMS mortar century
(for the bugs)
This is by far my new favorite warbond, it does everything right
Things to improve the SMG;
Faster reload (25% faster)
Less recoil (25% less)
Another nice addition would be instead of JUST a lighter caliber magazine, give us a drum mag (75 rounds) that has the same power as the base game SMG.
Its only really great on single fire or controlled bursts which doesnt pay homage to the utilisation of an SMG
It might be a heavy SMG but there's no way my arms also become heavy trying to reload it
4:30
Do note, the Reprimand has a very High MOA, meaning it's less accurate ad distances beyond 50 meters.
The new weapons in this warbond; along with the purifier buff, really have cemented how important medium penetration weapons are. The new shotgun is very strong even on super helldive, as it can manage everything up to alpha commanders.
Maybe we will get an armour and hp overhaul to help validate light penetration weapons, because as it stands, they really underperform.
Dead sprint is best used if someone has vitality equipped. You take almost no damage from dead sprint if those two are combined
Something to also note, dead sprint cannot kill you
If the recoil was not absurdly high, it would be a good gun. Problem is, currently its only good for killing clouds, not acting like an SMG, its just the new better looking adjudicator.
As for the Halt, the stun rounds are the best rounds vs bugs. If you bring the Liberator guard dog, it kills everything you stun for you. You almost never get touched by enemy's.
The dead sprint booster is much better if its paired with the vitality booster
I like the combo of the halt stun with the LMG and supply backpack. the halt frees up my nade slot for anything I want so thermite baby then having the plas pistol as backup since it can deal with medium armor make this pretty flexible
If you wanna speed run a mission:
Experimental Infusion booster
Armour that gives extra stims
Dead sprint booster
Jet pack
Stim pistols
You can sprint all the way across the map, also using the jet pack, then stim up when approaching enemies.
Not good versus high level bots probably, but you can abuse the hell out of stims this way.
I hope we get more "automaton killer" warbonds.
Anywho. Tips on how to use dead sprint effectively: Equip vitality and stamina booster, vitality actually helps take less damage and we tested this and stamina will do its job, especially on snow planets. Any other booster can be whatever if you have a fourth man, really helpful in getting out of sticky situations especially on higher difficulties.
That is a great tip on how to make the most of Dead Sprint! I’ll make sure to try that out.
The Dead sprint is good with the vitality and normal sprint booster.
It barely drains the HP with vitality booster.
Oh blaster pistol my beloved. As a Star Wars fan this bond is right up my alley. And I’d honestly find dead sprint useful against bugs. Sacrifice HP to not get mauled? I’ll take that shit
The SMG and shotgun are looking better than other weapons on release but they still need help. The SMG needs a little bit less recoil. and a bigger mag. The shotgun needs a hotkey to switch between round types and a bigger mag
If the dead sprint booster would give you a speed boost when stamina runs out, it would make more sense and would be an alternative to the stamina booster.
its kind unreal how different the the hp consumption of the the death sprint booster turns out when you have also the hearth shaped booster in your team.
I think a better idea instead of Dead Sprint would be a booster called something like Dead Man walking, where after taking fatal damage you stay alive for like 5~ seconds and essentially become immune to damage before you die and basically let you get in a few more kills before you truly die(kinda like Iron Will from DRG)
I like the switching ability on the shotgun, i always felt like this should be a thing on the granade launcher and granade pistol
My loadout would be :
SMG halt to cover most enemy types
Senator/ PLAS-15 to take heavy or medium targets
Stun grenade to buy you time
Unflinching armor for not to get CC
health booster/optimization pod to increase your surviviability
For stratagems:
eagle strafe/strike can take out any targets
orbital strike for lower cooldown like an emergency strat can be replaced for gatling or sentries for crowd control
autocanon/any rocket launchers can take objectives and heavy targets from a far distance
last slot is very flexible but my preference would be orbital flame barrage or 380mm barrage to nuke the area
take 2 strat slots:
commando + shield generator
HMG + supply pack
with the Reprimand it takes ~12 shots to a stripped leg to kill a Behemoth Charger, unfortunately it does not have the 1-handed property so it cannot be used in conjunction with the Ballistic Shield and you can't fire it behind you while jogging away. This thing is less like an SMG and more like a shorter range Adjudicator. The slow rate of fire basically means the semi-auto and burst fire modes are useless as there is plenty of time to stop shooting to conserve ammo/manage recoil, so tap firing the thing is easy and you still have the option to let it sing if something gets too close for comfort.
I believe the Halt's stun rounds affect Chargers if you hit their sack, so that opens them up to being killed by unconventional Support Weapons i.e Autocannon to the front, Machine Guns to the back or a Supply Pod dropped on its head. The Halt is great for a combo I used to run with the pre-nerf Pummeler - Use the Pummeler to stun a Bile Spewer and then whip out the Senator and blow its head off, but the Halt can do that without the need to switch to a Secondary while allowing you to get close enough to max out the damage without getting puked on.
4:21 where do you get the MP-98 Knight Sub-machine gun from??
I don't have it in my weapon's list.
super citizens pack
I was expecting the smg to be 1 handed, just with more recoil than it already had, but I like how powerful it feels. I saw someone already said it but I really like the Doubt Killer armor and it reminds me of the Jin-Roh Wolf Brigade armor.
I highly recommend charging shots with both weapons, it's brilliant for ammo efficiency and to a lesser extent CC. The SMG is more like an LMG to be honest. It's higher dps than the ARs IIRC.
With the Halt, I think aiming for the leg of striders will take less ammo, and for hulks the strategy is one stun to the vents and switch to flechettes. You can easily get behind flame hulks once they have it activated (they can't actually turn as well when firing), but bruisers take a bit of risk. It's completely doable if you go close and bum rush it fast enough to beat the innacuracy and arm traverse though, at least in light armour.
In general it has become my favourite weapon for bots, managing to dethrone my beloved Eruptor.
Dead sprint will probably be great if or when the angel pack gets added. Imagine a guard dog that heals you
deadsprint has saved me once already while using a freedom protects armor, it has helped me escape a situation I could not have without it.
The armor in the super store looks a lot like the wolf brigade and I’m here for it
this is honestly the best initial launch of a warbond. all the weapons feel good, instead of feeling like you got scammed *cough purifier*
To give the devs credit they did make the purifier a lot better then it was before but I see your point :)
Yeah I wish every warbond had come out this well on launch lol. Purifier is my favorite gun now though, so the future looks bright
I'm looking forward to pairing the halt with stim pistol and flamethrower in my healthdiver build
In my opinion, Halt can be greatest weapon with some research.
Like, shooting charger's butt to stun and safely throw termite, stunning stalkers, supportive stun... It has massive potential and I want you fellas to look into it.
This guy sounds exactly like PixelatedApollo and I can't unhear it
FINALLY a nice balanced warbond! Items for bugs AND bots! Weak booster, but the weapons are very unique! And the armor sets are awesome
The booster is nuts if you bring supply backpack
Endless running, pretty great for speed run
I'm not saying it's good but dead Sprint is economic. What I mean is, instead of using a stim every time your stamina is depleted, you can run until your health gets low, then use one stim to replenish both. You're actually saving stims doing it. I think this booster will work fine on bugs, not so on bots because of the range weapons.
That new smg along with the ballistic shield will be unstoppable on bots. The standard defender was already op in this setup. I’m stoked to try it!
It looks like the new smg isn't one handed. Sad to say it won't work with the ballistic shield
Anubis is right sadly, it's two-handed
Yes I realized that after posting…truly a sad day….oh well! The more varied weapons to spread democracy, the better! No matter how many hands you have to use!
I think the new armor in the superstore makes you look like Moff Gideon in his mandalorian armor.
have you tested the armor unflinching perk? with perk vs without and aim walking vs standing still?
How is the "Unflinching" armor passive?
Merely "reducing" staggering feels like a lazy half-measure. For a whole Armor Passive it should ELIMINATE flinching & staggering
Death sprint with heavy armor is great 👍
With a jet pack and the right boosters you can negate most of the draw backs of heavy armor now.
Bot Front:
1. Adjudicator, Defender/Pummeler, Verdict, Flash Grenade
2. Ballistic Shield, HMG or Quasar, Eagle Airstrike and Orbital Railcannon
3. Medium or Heavy with Recoil control and Explosive resistance.
Bug Front:
1. Torcher/Blitzer, Uzi, Incendiary grenade.
2. Shield Pack, Quasar/Grenade Launcher, Gatling Barrage, Orbital Gas.
3. Light or Medium armor with either Gas or Fire resistance.
This new smg combined with the Senator and shield is great for a Juggernaut build
The Halt i think pairs well with a chaff clear secondary like the Dagger laser pistol. The Halt feels like overkill on things like the scavengers.
Considering I die in two shots all the time, as I'm a scout armor user, the Death Sprint seem useful. But that drainage speed is a bit fast, so I guess it's really not gonna give me many seconds of sprint.
Finally a great SMG for the knight shield build, though.
The dead sprint seems to be a highly situational buff. Weirdly enough, probably best against melee enemies like bugs. Being able to outpace them no matter what your stamina is like. Maybe useful pursuing against fleeing human traitors of liberty and democracy but the non human variety dont retreat.
Maybe if it also eliminated the debuff to aiming while out of stamina it would be better
I expected the shotgun to have much tighter spread given it uses flechettes, but it seems much more like the old breaker spray and pray with its spread pattern than something like the punidher.
Been rollling the new shotgun with a grenade pistol, thermite grenade,the auto canon, napalm barrage and 500kg bomb n fighting against the bugs.. may tweak a few things when going against bots
Sorry so you have one Ammo pool for two very distinct types of ammo? Why can't I just full load the flachetts
People disliking the dead sprint booster aren't grasping the purpose of it. Its not just "extra stamina". You still should let your stamina regenerate so you don't lose health. But when you need to haul ass to save a buddy, reposition/catch up with everyone, or in my case, run to the other end of the map to grab samples that someone left behind. You'll need to use a stim to get your stamina back fast anyways, so why not use your health most of the way, stim and get everything back, and keep trucking. Vitality booster makes it even better. Love synergies
3:50 is when the SMG review starts if you're like me and don't care about the other weapons
🫡
the stun rounds and the big iron on bots actually goes hard, i dont need to run stun grenades all the time
A booster to overcharge Health woukd have been great. 50% more health for when you stim. Hp will go down slowly after a while to 100% again if not used
If dead sprint could either use health or do the stumble running instead of just taking damage without choice would make it a bit better
Mann the reprimand has so much versatility on single shot its gonna be my main against bots everything. DONT NERF lol
imagine dead sprint booster, you and your boy both run stim pistol then get infinite sprint goin on, super cool.
