Gatling Barrage also scales better the more you have on the team! While Napalm and Gas don't seem to stack with themselves, 4 GB will will be that much more destructive!
It's a beaut to see 4 OGB on a heavy bug nest, and good point about how it stacks with each other. I just liked looking at the whole scene I didn't think that it was able to stack unlike the napalm and gas. Thanks for checking out the video!
This thing went to "meh" to "absolute gold". This thing is incredible now and you can bring it against anything, a very safe, easy to use, fast and low CD jack-of-all-trade. And you can kill titans with it too.
@@SP00KYM4NH3R3 I've been the victim of many accidental strafing runs and orbital gatlings since the patch too. I like to think they're learning and I'm just the unfortunate guinea pig a part of that process, haha.
I like to combo it with the orbital 120 mm barrage and/or the airburst strike. Those tend to kill anything that happens to make it through the Gatling barrage.
This is my go-to breach clearing strat over napalm strike now. It doesn't interfere with my 500kgs and along with ops and the fllamethrower you basically have all your bases covered. Great vid too man, learned a lot 🫡
I tried it out after the patch, but was only so-so on it. However, I did not know what it's radius was, and hadn't thought through the implications of its reduced cooldown time, so I think I may give it another go, and use it much more heavily.
I bring this and the humble machine gun sentry on most missions now. My ship is fully upgraded so the up time on these two feels permanent. If I need them.and they aren't up, they are coming very soon.
Orbital Gatling got a lot of love this update, but I’d like to see more changes to the orbitals. A change I’ve thought of is to reclassify the airburst strike to an airburst barrage. 2 options it could be done, either a simple classification change to allow “more guns” to apply, or rework it to act more like the 120mm and cluster bomb combined (maybe a future stratagem??)
I use it every bug mission and has replaced the napalm airstrike for me My favorite loadout for bugs is gatling barrage + gas strike (sometimes precision strike for extra anti-tank) and recoilless rifle + strafing run for bile titans (this is my current favorite tech for them )
It's cool to see you're using the recoilles rifle + strafing run for bile titans. It's not the first thing that comes to mind but post-update I've been enjoying loadout varieties like the one you mentioned. Creative thinking!
I wonder now How effective would the rocket turret be? combined with: recoilless rifle, strafing run, gatling against chargers/bile titans. Its constant explosions everywhere plus it damages while you reload recoilless, or quasar in cold planets? So many ideas, I am excited
@@andresmdp95 the rocket sentry is very good for chargers and titans, but it needs to utilize it's increased range of 100m. Verses the AC sentry they're somewhat equal with them both have lvl 5 pen. I think the rocket sentry explosive dmg got reduced, but the AP dmg increased (look at the patch notes for more details). The main bad thing is the 3 min cooldown, on avg it shoots for ~30-45 secs if all the ammo is used. So there is a lot of downtime. For bile Titans it often hits the leg instead of the side armor and you have to finish it off with a grenade pistol or impacts. Not so much w/ chargers because it kinda stun locka them with the rockets, taking 4-6 to kill. They really need to reduce the cooldown or rework that ship mod reducing the deployment speed to cooldown. TLDR utilize its 100m range, try to put it on high ground/on top of rocks, don't waste it on a random throw and try to find the best spot to shoot all ammo. Happy helldiving! 😎🐢
Ruuning barrage + spear against bots is super fun. A lot of bots barely survive a spear & finishing them off with the barrage is super easy and hits more things with conserving spear ammo
It was already pretty good at shutting down a bug breach for a few seconds before with its short cooldown and decent damage to light/ medium targets, but now it’s one of the best in the game and stacks amazingly with napalm
I'd love to see a pros and cons comparison of gas, napalm, gatling, and airburst. They all seem to fill a similar niche of throwing them directly on top of something like a bug breach to apply a damage over time to all the enemies forced to come through a choke, so it would be nice to see which one is best to bring in a given situation.
I had an incredible extraction with randoms the other day where we had what felt like an endless wave of light-medium bugs coming at us through a relatively narrow chokepoint. Chucking orbital gatling barrages and eagle strafing runs into that chokepoint was just exquisite
@wallbouncing you can turn auto climb off now in the options - 1:37 min. maybe it's old footage but you did it twice in this clip you climbed the resupply
Thanks for the tip! I kinda like having the autoclimb on though because I like to see if I'm able to climb certain ledges on rocks and it's easier on my fingers to just sprint at it at different angles rather than run at it and mash my vault button, haha. Maybe once I feel confident I know what ledges are climbable or not I'll turn it off. Thanks though and thanks for checking out the video!
@@Wallbouncing It killed me many times and you can just hold the X button (PS5) or Spacebar down I find it easier and better to control IF i wanna climb
Its better than before but Eagle Strafe was better than Barrage was and its still better now. Barrage fills a already saturated niche of "I hope things in that general area dies" but there are better and more reliable options available for that, even Eagle Strafe is competing with it but Strafe is absurdly more reliable, safe to use, faster(denying a area for 10 seconds is not as great as clearing out the area in 3) and versatile in that the Eagle always flies in from behind you so hitting bug nests/fabricators is as easy as lining yourself up with them and using it. Same with objectives like destroy bug eggs/nests/air bases etc. With Barrage its often "oh look, a big mountain in the way and now my barrage is doing nothing" or simply up to luck if a shot will hit the nest/fabricator while the Eagle can find a way in unless the area is completely surrounded by high mountains. I mean I too still like to use Barrage, I am just a bit sad that despite the BIG buffs to it its still a bottom tier stratagem that pretty much does everything worse than the alternatives. Atmospheric Fluctuations or whatever the mission modifier is called is also frustratingly common in higher difficulties making all orbitals quite literally "hit and miss". Tbh orbitals(all of them) need shorter CD or larger payloads, they are shot directly from the ship so no need for a Eagle to carry it to fight which should mean more and larger boom, to really compete with Eagles that are able to dump like 2-5 stratagems within seconds of each other before having to wait ~2 minutes or whatever is just too much value compared to the ~50-60 seconds between orbitals on top of the Eagles generally being more effective and reliable.... maybe in future patches!
I run 500's, gatling barrage, gas strike, and Spear on the majority of the bug missions. Honestly, if they reduced the Orbital Precision strike down to like 85-ish seconds, i'd run that over the 500KG's and swap the gas strike to Eagle Napalm. But, the OGB puts in work. Definitely the best update in the patch . It would have been the Spear, but that is still broken.
Shield is trash, light armor is trash, and the orbital rail cannon is not only useless but redundant with a precision strike in your kit already. Swap light for medium with the increased padding perk and drop the shield. Trust me it’s better.
@@derkaiser9881actually if he's running the new stim booster the armour perk he really wants is the medic perk. The stims increase your running speed and decrease enemy damage for the duration. The medic armour not only increases the duration of this very powerful booster by 2 seconds it also gives you an extra 2. I do agree about the rail strike being redundant with the precision strike
@@damienmcdonald7610 Run that same booster with medium 150 and it’s OP. There’s really no reason to run medic armor aside from heavy medic armor for the headshot reduction and that sacrifices a lot of mobility.
@@derkaiser9881 Bro, you are out of your depth. Medic armor is the best armor in the game right now with the new booster that increases the stim duration by 2s and allows you to run like Sonic. None of the stuff you are saying makes sense. "run medium or heavy armor" LOL Do you like being able to sprint? I do...
@@Pupixario You put that in quotes, but I never said it. You should run medium 150 armor or heavy MEDIC armor. Both give you a headshot resistance breakpoint that forces enemies to hit you in the head 3 times before you die. If you have the heavy medic armor you're slower overall, but have more of the new stims to speed boost around. Medium 150 armor (150 meaning you have an armor rating of 150--an amount required to hit that same breakpoint), is a more mobile option overall at the expensive of the medic buff. I don't see how I'm out of my depth. I have 429 hours in the game and like to keep track of mechanics or stats within it. Also keep in mind you can run whatever armor you want, this is just what I would recommend for best results assuming you don't want to stealth stuff.
It has a tendency to throw some strays... first game i played with a new group and it ragdolled me with a gas strike in my hand and we lost some (all) divers. Still love it tho, but feel its fire area still isn't densely saturated enough and can let quite a bit slip through, but i guess the tradeoff for faster killing and armor pen separates it from gas strike.
umm iv seen the gatling barrage take out drop ships brochacho... takes knowing where the destroyer is and how far from center and then throwing it under neath
Thanks for pointing it out. I have a lot of clips of my OGB hitting the dropships multiple times but never saw one taking it down. Maybe it needed more hits than what had happened. Thanks for clarifying that it's possible!
They didn't mention they altered the impact pattern to be a narrow stream that moves around the target area instead of the original spread pattern. This makes it noticeably less consistent. These undocumented changes make them look bad. They are lacking in either competence or honesty. They need to work on upping their standards.
It's definitely on the list for a deep dive. Ever since they added aerial patrols, I felt like there may be more of a use now for the airburst rocket and I was thinking of trying it out soon. Thanks for the suggestion and for checking out the video!
@@Wallbouncing of course! Also, I think the name is misleading. Airburst makes us think flying units, but in reality, it bursts in the air and rains downward.
That was on Esker, which is on the bug front. You can only reach it when respawning and using your hellpod. If you have the Power Steering ship module you'll have an easier time steering your hellpod on top of it. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for checking out the video!
That is the CE-101 Guerilla Gorilla, which you can get from the Super Store. Not sure if it is currently in the rotation. Thanks for checking out the video!
unbelievable to me that there's people that can just play the game without it crashing or bugging every 10 seconds, from my last 10 games I was only able to finish 1
I've had a fair amount of game crashes and frame rate issues these past days. Not as bad as the one you mentioned though, but I hope they resolve it soon. Thanks for checking out the video!
I love that the description of zero-g breech loading implies that all guns on Super Earth ships are muzzle loaded
Hilarious indeed
@@Pupixario like damn the gatling is fucking pepperbox or something
@@blockwithaglock96yes
Liteally yea

Its a literal pepperbox
I like to think that's the newly built ships with rookie helldivers who haven't proven themselves enough. To save costs
Okay but breach loading and muzzle loading are not at all the same thing. IJS.

That makes sense because gas and napalm apply a status, while the gatling barrage is just straight damage.
Gatling is also very useful during extracts where the environment forces the incoming patrols into a choke point or bunch up around terrain.
Great tip! It's great for locking down those areas and relieving pressure off of your team during extract. Thanks for checking out the video!
This thing went to "meh" to "absolute gold".
This thing is incredible now and you can bring it against anything, a very safe, easy to use, fast and low CD jack-of-all-trade.
And you can kill titans with it too.
