Splendid! Thanks for taking a look at my favorite strategem! The Shield Relay and Autocannon Turret came to be known as ‘The Bastion’ for me and closer friends. Saving us mainly against the automaton menace. You could do a video about the Emplacement HMG, see what it can and can not take down, maybe?
My pleasure, and sure I can do that! It for sure can take down hulks at the very least but you have to shoot @ legs, I'll do a whole video testing it next week! Thanks for asking Rhodoran! Always happy to hear from you.
@@twiltzofficialgaming That makes me think. If it can take down Hulk Legs… wonder if it’s rounds can pierce the Hulk’s Eye! Willing to give a few rounds with you again next weekend if you feel like it :D
@@Rhodoran haha sure! I tested it shooting the eye but it didn't seem to penetrate so I would assume not but I def could be wrong, we can run a couple sessions next week to test it out for sure!
Aye hope it helped, I feel like I may have rushed through the automaton side of things but glad you liked it! Lmk if you want any other stratagem/hd2 tips!
at 3:12 is that tesla turret INSIDE the shield? cause if so, they must have fixed it... cause last time I tried the tesla just instantly killed the shiled emitter
It is exactly as you say, Its kinda tough as it does seem that the lightning could arc into the shield if swarmed enough, but when attacking things outside the shield it worked pretty well.. but tbh I was just testing random things xerox782! Thanks for commenting!
Hi @Twiltz OFFICIAL Gaming, I'm terrible on the bots front and wanting to find a loadout that works better for me. My playstyle normally tends to be more of a supporting role to the team by clearing mobs with the Arc Thrower and selecting Anti-Tank Strategems like the Eagle 500, Orbital Precision and Eagle Rocket Pods to take care of Bile Titans, Chargers and Impalers. Do you feel the Shield Generator Emplacement combined with an HMG Emplacement and an Autocannon or Rocket Sentry would allow enough protection to deal with the Factory Striders and Gun Ships to support my team in Level 8 or higher? I've tried the Quasar but I miss the ships more often than not and I'm wondering if bringing the Shield Generator would be able to provide enough protection for Sentries or myself if using an HMG Emplacement to target Strider turrets and Gun/Drop ships. I like using the Orbital Precision with a Stun to take care of Hulks, but I think I saw you comment that the HMG Emplacement could take out their legs to immobilize them right?
@@POWER_WAFFLE Hi POWER_WAFFLE First off I love the username. And secondly I'm always happy to help, thanks for reaching out, I'll try my best to give you a good Loadout suggestion, but I want you to know I think the best way is to explore different stratagems yourself to see what feels best to you. The automatons are difficult because of their Lazer accuracy and high damage. For level 8.... If you play a support role I suggest running an AMR/Rail gun (with stun grenades for easy cleanup kills), and a resupply backpack. These two items together are great supporting stratagems not only for yourself, but for your teammates as well... In regards to using the shield generator, yes I think this will work in conjunction with a HMG emplacement (note*) (Yes it can destroy hulk legs), OR using the rocket/auto cannon turret, I prefer using the HMG turret as it has great utility clearing every BOT enemy in the game, and with its large mag size and relatively quick cooldown, it should suffice as the main damage dealer for a build, you can use the HMG without the shield generator if you want to take extra Anti-Tank weaponry. The nice thing about the shield generator is that it's a flexible pick. Such that it can help you and your teammates survive bot rushes as a wall.. or help during environmental hazards like blizzards for example. The additional use of the shield generator is to use it as bait for enemies.. in other words there are a lot of different uses for this stratagem, more than just using it for cover to shoot through... So make sure you use your best judgment. If you want my suggestion with the stratagems you named I would choose Arc thrower, orbital precision, HMG, and a flexible slot pick like commando, or quasar if you want to practice getting better with quasar), or 500kg etc... this build would help in most situations though I'm not sure how well the arc thrower is against the majority of bots... (That's why I named other support weapons) If the reason you feel like you're losing in higher difficulty is because of survivability in terms of map awareness being low, I suggest bringing the shield generator so you can have quick cover on a quick cooldown basis.. But if you feel like you have good map awareness and positioning, but lack the overall means to kill GROUPS of heavily armored enemies that occur on higher difficulties, I would focus on using HMG/Quasar/Commando/EAT/AMR or incorporating larger area stratagems like the walking barrage or 120/380 barrages... Hope I answered your question, sorry it was long, lmk if anything didn't make sense or if you have more questions!
@@twiltzofficialgamingI appreciate you taking the time to respond back! I will try those suggestions this week. I usually only get about an hour to play each night and don't get a ton of time to practice.
