Disclaimer: apparently arc weapons (including tesla tower) are causing crashes as of right now and devs are working on a patch that will come out next week. I'd hold off on trying the arc thrower until this is fixed.
Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational helldiver! Been using this build since I unlocked it items. And so far been one of the most fun loadouts!
I found that orbital gatling barrage pairs really well with arc thrower at just holding down bug breaches and providing crowd control for your team. I also run the slugger instead of the blitzer simply to deal with stalkers and bile/nursing spewers that get too close since the slugger staggers them, and does way more damage than the blitzer.
I've been running the Arc for a week now, and I've seen exactly what you're talking about with the Bile Titan. I think it's arcing to multiple hit boxes within the titan, and doing full damage to each one. Basically your 2 shots are hitting it 6 times. I can't get it consistently, but it always makes me giggle when it works.
light armor, las-16, redeemer, arc thrower, shield pack, orbital laser, and either orbital rail cannon for run and gun or mortar sentry for point defense. a great build for solo or groups and can take out everything on the terminid side
Please don't take mortars vs bugs. Maybe in a well-coordinated group it's fine, but not with randoms. Most bugs are melee units, which means most of the time when you're getting swarmed the mortar will shoot where you and your teammates are. EMS is fine though.
Something that really made the blitzer shine for me is that you don't have to aim at enemies while charging the next shot. This might seem useless, but if you aim at a Hunter it will automatically jump to the side to try and avoid your shot, and this causes them to naturally spread out and flank you. Once I learned how to take advantage of that, having all your hunters bunched up with the rest of the horde is a HUGE boon to your maneuverability and it allows you to manage them and react to pounces much more effectively. Side note, your arc thrower Titan 3 shots are a PS5 thing, or more specifically the same issue that causes the railgun inconsistencies. It's not aim assist or anything input related because PC with controller can't get the same results, so it's most likely an issue with the netcode or latency causing the same shot to deal damage multiple times. It's much more consistent with a PS5 player in your lobby but it does happen on rare occasions with PC only too, PS5 just probably makes the online conditions much easier to achieve
When fighting the Terminids, I like pairing the Arc Thrower with the jetpack given it is crucial to position this weapon on high ground to make the best of it. Against the Automatons, however, I can't do without the shield generator backpack because that high ground is usually going to be very exposed to return fire so I needed the extra survivability.
would be a great build except the new patch seems to crash/freeze my game on ps5 if using arc thrower ... plus the mech rockets no longer fire straight since they fixed it... for democracy i guess lol
I use the blitzer and arc thrower as my main loadout along with jet pack. Blitzer does well to deal with those bugs that get close which the arc thrower cant deal with, plus the mobility of the jetpack. my biggest enemy is fellow helldivers and airstrikes
Nice build, always fun to try out themes. Next try out a Space Cowboy build: marksman rifle (RP it is a lever action), Senator(this should be your primary use weapon), jet pack, EAT-17, and pick up a break action shotgun from the map. The break action can do good damage and is fun to mess around with.
I like to plant my 500kg then when the Bile Titan is in the right spot, I will run up to the titan to stop him. He stops and then tries to stomp you. If you are quick to read it, you can get out the way, while leaving them standing still while the bomb comes down. Also lot of fun to get other Titans to spit on each other :P Never had the 2 shot arc on them yet though, and I slap them with it all the time.
Run this setup but with rover, railcannon, and eagle airstrike. Can solo any bug breach as long as it doesn't spawn like 2 chargers and a bile Edit: I've 2 shot biles as well. Not sure how it works, but I think its about how the lighting arcs. I've noticed when I do 2 shot it's a direct shot to the head. Most times tho it won't arc to the head. Thats what I have observed
if u find urself killing bile titans with the arc gun that's prob because there is a ps5 user on ur team. The well kown ps5 bug does not affect weapons like the rail gun or the arc gun, it affect the bile titan hp pool and weakpoint dmg recived. So any wep capable of penetrating it's armor will prob kill a bile titan.
We didn’t get that arc armor so much for the Tesla tower but more so for the new enemy that will be coming soon the illuminant. Which is probably why they gave us three brand new armors all with the arc
I have 2 shot multiple Titans and for me its has happen in only these 2 instances: 1. Being at max range aiming for the head. 2. Being anywhere from semi close to mid range with bodies in the way forcing you to arc your shoot. These are the only instances where I 2 shot them. We share the same opinion of the actual shoot arcing through the Bile multiple times.
Not exactly the same but I’ve noticed when I’m up on high ground and shoot a bile titan square in the back with the arc thrower, it dies within a couple shots.
Jar5 dominator is my goto primary with a rover instead of the tesla tower. Rover handles the hunters that sneak through and the dominater makes its namesake against any medium targets(stalkers)
You probably 2 shotted that bile titan because you had a PS5 player in your team. There is and has been a bug that lowers the enemy hp GREATLY when a PS5 player is part of your team.
it happens when someone on playstation hosts the game. ermz plays done a video showing when a pc player hosts the rail cannon take 20 shots to kill a bt but only 2 shots when a ps5 player hosts.
There will be. The devs say they watch the TH-cams. Every video that has a caps lock BEST BUILD will greatly be taken into consideration when it comes to nerfing.
I fear that will happen and for what ? For being good with certain guns ? I understand some should be balanced but are we having everything nerfed in the end ? Where will the fun in be in that ?
The Arc thrower does not do that much damage to bile titans when you’re playing with cross-play off. I play on pc, I made this same build yesterday and did almost no damage to bile titans. The devs need the fix whatever is going on with bile titans and support weapons. That being said, cool vid bro.
The titan dieing in 2 shots is usually because a PS5 player was hosting and another player thats attacking the titan i on pc its been a thing for awhile and is a reason the railgun is good
UNLIMITED POWER! (and unlimited ammo.....) Another fun build is an all energy weapon build: Sickle + Dagger + Laser Cannon + Rover Guardog + Orbital Lazer
Can you change your presentation so that you are actually talking on the GREEN SCREEN while you narrate the video instead of the current version , it is very distracting
Ran through with a squad of arc throwers, absolutely trivialised the terminid operation

This channel is my jam, best channel for helldivers content by a mile
3:31 easily the most dramatic Bile Titan death
Me firing out of both ends after taco day.

Man the blitz needs a buff. I was so excited about getting it and it sadly isn't up to snuff. Sick build btw. Love the arc thrower and ems turret.
Upping the blitzer fire rate to the other pump shotguns(80) would be enough for me

I have also 2 shot stalkers with the Blitzer
I heard if you arc the bile titan in the head while its spewing it does extra damage and kills them. Thats probably what happened.
Not true. It's a bug when you play with a host who is a PS5 player. Railgun and Arc Thrower kill titans in 2 shots in this scenario.
There's issues if a PS5 player is hosting the game that allows Arc/Rail to 2 shot Biles

I love the dominator on paper but just hate its low handling. Slugger is my go to.
Laser rover vs hunters. Another man of culture, I see
I love the intro ❤
Fear being in front of you or to the side of you enemies 😂

Parroting a myth you have heard other TH-camrs say

@@dominicwhite6544 STFU..its well known bug and even the devs themselves confirmed it

it happens when you have a ps5 user in your lobby for some reason you do way more damage to titans and no one knows why
@@kyzenx the bugs sure don't like that bug :D
The titan dieing in 2 shots is usually because a PS5 player was hosting and another player thats attacking the titan i on pc its been a thing for awhile and is a reason the railgun is good
As much as we kill each other with this thing it's still so good
3:30 😂
UNLIMITED POWER! (and unlimited ammo.....)
Another fun build is an all energy weapon build:
Sickle + Dagger + Laser Cannon + Rover Guardog + Orbital Lazer
How's the dagger?
@@AC-hj9tvits meh...
Right now this build would crash the game. It’s a bug
Anyone know how to change fov on console?
Were you playing with a PS player?
10:35 look at that facial 😂😂😂
My friends and I do this build and we all wear the 95% arc resistant armor so we’re Gucci.
Damn son I'm only Adidas
@@AC-hj9tv well knock off Gucci
Nb4 youtube gets another decent weapon nerfed into obscurity.
UNLIMITED POOOOOWEEEEEEEEEER! 😂
Its cause you have a PS5 player on your lobby, i have a friend on PS5 that i played with then i can 2 shot bile titans
Arc weapons are bugged and crash the game now, DO NOT USE THIS
I’ve been using it all day no issues
Can you change your presentation so that you are actually talking on the GREEN SCREEN while you narrate the video instead of the current version , it is very distracting
ps5 kek
Now that that patch is fixed I can indulge the darkness🫡😏
