Wouldn't it be funny if the devs took a piss outta the buggy air burst cannon by saying, "Due to the civilians being rushed and attacked by the relentless automatons, the prototype air burst cannons Helldivers are currently using are malfunctioning and require further testing before being deployed in the field"
with that excuses we at least ok with it but at least give us a warning first cuz 5 minutes in and we lost 10 helldivers due to testing
Worth noting it's not a flak cannon. While flak is a type of airburst, not all airburst are flak. Flak is anti air. This weapon is a cluster bomb, and is anti infantry.
@fearalice corrected it, thanks for the heads up ;)
"The initial munitions were acquired from a communist weapons factory. Super Earth military industrial complex is manufacturing new warheads and will be available soon."
It’ll probably be more along the lines of “direct automaton interference and sabotage has crippled the effectiveness of our new weapons”
I want an urban planet with demolished buildings.
I want an urban planet where it starts out pristine and then by the end of the mission, it's in ruins
I remember helldivers 1 had this kinda
Yeah, but during the news I see a an urban area get attacked by automatons maybe next updates?
they absolutely need city biomes, fighting on torn up open fields and small outposts is fine and all... but they really need that feeling of being on the homefront
This thing is so dangerous to use.
I LOVE IT!
... and I thought the 360 mm was the teammate killer
380mm aim‘t even that bad. Playing with randoms that bring clusters is much worse
@@Blaz1ng_Phoen1X That or bad turret placement... but honestly it's all down to knowing when and where it's best to use the big weapons. I play with randoms and honestly the community is pretty good at avoiding team killing the vast majority of the time.
If you see a red beam and run towards it, you deserve what happens
@@Blaz1ng_Phoen1X High levels we usually know the best stratagem so friendly fire isn't even a problem aside from the 300mm & Incendiary shotgun in my experience..
Sometimes rover can catch you or a teammate
Well, if they get shot by my turret, it is their fault. I spot the turret and say where it is, and people just run in front of it. And the 380 is still kinda bad. I was in a game today, and we landed by a gunship tower and as I was calling in the hellbomb the guy called a 380 on it. I got the bomb off without dying but it was such a bad move from him
This game is so immersive, and the devs are so invested that any bugs/downfalls of weapons can playfully be turned into story
11:32 ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????
just another reason to be an eagle 1 stan
Report that pilot to the Ministry of Traitors.
@@Rockforce80 I am gonna be honest Eagle has killed me WAY more.
Pellicabn sounds angry sometimes but he cares!
No fr that made me cry and it hurt my soul, especially once I saw the sample count
Glad to hear the spear is getting fixed. The only reason I haven't been using it is the spotty lock on. Looking forward to rocking it on bot missions.
Tarkov promised that everyone who bought the Edge of Darkness pack would gain access to all future dlc. Now with the 250 dollar thing they are trying to argue that it isn’t a dlc. To make things worse, in the 6 years Edge of darkness has been out, they have only gotten one free dlc.
Why are you surprised that a Russian scammed you? It's the only thing Russian "Businesses" are known for doing; just like China.
I believe at one point the Devs tried to say even arena wasn't dlc.
"Is it extra content"
"Yes"
"Do you have to pay for it?"
"Yes"
"So it's a DLC"
"No it's a featur-"
Nuh-uh... It's a DLC bitch. It's extra content (a feature) that you pay for...
They've now changed it so people who got EoD get a 6 month trial of the PvE mode and 6 month trial of server priority to try and get them hooked and spend an extra 250 afterwards, how incredibly, unbelievably generous of them, I might just have to drop helldivers to spend 250 on it
are y gonna devs start work for free for you ?
Anyone else feel the game sometimes spawns specials that have more hp pool than others like some bile titans tank so many hits and so do chargers as well.
It feels more like it's because of wonky hit models, sometimes your stratagems hit their targets well and other times it feels like it hits a spot where it fails to properly register the hit and therefor feels like it does no or low dmg.
my guy charger dies in 1 hit to the head with recoiless rifle
The game isn't perfect.
I literally have video's of titans & Hulks spawning out of nowhere , kill me , then vanish instantly right after 🤣
I only play helldive so it's a whole different world .
I can one shot a bile titan in the face .
Or I can shoot it 5 plus times with two 500shells 🤣
I love the game but there's so many bugs but I still play I'm not complaining
@@mitzurikior quasar one shot . But as he says sometimes the same amount of damage doesn't always kill the target.
I like this randomness and how it messes with the min-max overbearing players.
Fun fact, a single well placed shot by the Airburst Rocket Launcher can completely destroy the Jammer Tower. I don't play Automatons much so idk if you can do this with all explosive weapons but yeah. I aimed at the bottom of the part that turns when i fired, once it made contact the missle burst and destroyed everything. Hope this helps you fellow Helldivers
Edit: According to another person I got a very lucky shot and what happened was one of the cluster fragments hit the fabricator next to the jammer that lead to destroying it. I don't know if this is 100% true but might be the case.
I think what you saw was a lucky shot into the fabricator. As far as I know the jammer can not be taken out by direct hits but if you blow up the fabricator next to it it gets destroyed with the fab.
@@PsyCrowX probably that's what happened. I aimed at the middle of the tower and maybe one of the fragments of the cluster hit the fabricator ur mentioning
I had this happen yesterday! I was so stoked!
There’s so many primary weapons that can do this so not a big deal
That does bring up a big thing that not everyone knows, don't worry about the jammer if there's a fab right next to it. A grenade or rocket is faster than a hellbomb.
it's god Forsaken hit boxes on the rocks and trees
Yup. DayZ's last update barely fixed this issue and the game's been out for a decade. Lol Hope these guys can get it cleared up way sooner than that. Lol
no stylosa you are wrong. it doesn't detonate due to terrain. it detonates early due to random level objects. if there is a stack of boxes, a random tea spoon or a lawn chair between you and the intended target it will detonate early.
Well no, if you count vertical rocks as terrain then yes terrain does trigger it as well as plants.
A blade of grass detonates it early hahaha.
@@Darkness8536 that give me HEAT-FS ptsd from War thunder.....those damn bushes and leaf come back and haunt me to another game
Or just straight oxygen.
so basically its hitbox is way too big.
I use the spear now even with the issues due to its ability to one tap bile titans chargers brudes and if they fix it to where it locks on properly an consistently. I bet it will become the most used weapon after.
Eh I doubt it. Quasar will still most likely be first choice for most. Simply due to Spear needing a backpack and requiring you to stop to reload.
The issue is the proximity feature in itself. Technically with how proximity works, it is working how it really would but that doesnt really fit into the game really at the moment.
Wdym? It one shots all the enemies in a dropship
It also kills all your fellow helldivers
I’d say that very much fits in the game
6:34 dude heard the nonstop yapping through the game
Crazy that they can easily make a lore accurate explanation for buffing the airburst. We only get them because we're liberating the planet they're being developed on so the ones we have are unfinished prototypes.
I think a good fix is to nerf the radius and let it easily wipe out the medium armored enemies like devastators. Also make it less sensitive.
wipe out devastators? no. Kill an airship within 1 rocket? yes.
@@mitzuriki Does it not kill the gunships? I thought they would be able to oneshot them but I only used them for one mission.
Just make it activate on contact. And when its activate it should fire its load UP and then it should rain down. Like mines do.
@@onik7000the way they’ve done it is it uses a proximity fuse.
@@onik7000that isn’t how airburst ordnance works.
I look at the airburst this way:
It's an airburst. You carry around. Like the orbital airburst or the eagle cluster bombs.
Use it for the same stuff only you manually aim and reload it instead of it being a call-in.
I was able to take down a dropship with the airburst rocket
Same although im pretty the one i took down was heavily damaged and i did the finishing blow but was satisfied nonetheless
Love how some people think the devs would make something and never release it. Was already telling people we are getting both stratagems but we are getting to choose which one we get first
Maybe they should just put an arming distance on the airburst
It'd fix the problem entirely.
Either that or a two trigger system. First click fire, second click engage air burst unless it lands on a surface first
Or they could give it two fire modes, proximity detonation or impact detonation.
Maybe make it fire in an arc?
@sharcblazer99 💯 absolutely. It would be the best of both worlds and please both parties. It just makes sense
It's literally an eagle cluster bomb on your back to free up that strategem slot for people who love it
But it literally cost a strategem slot to use it and it's way more inferior than the eagle. I'm getting 50 plus kills on helldiver with the eagle. I don't see the point in using this over the cluster strike
@@joshuacaserta7626 honestly I've gotten pretty similar performance and what I should of been more clear on is it frees up space on your eagle. Less abilities tied to the eagle makes it so you can roll the cool down faster to use your abilities. Assuming you take 2 or more eagle abilities
That pelican betrayal right at the end happened the exact same way to a public player I was with, and on the exact same extraction location as well! My condolences to you for losing all those samples 😢
National holiday in Sweden on Wednesday. So Monday/Thursday is most likely the release dates.
Gatlin + auto cannon +ems mortar and then its just a matter of opening my packed lunch and watch the show
i was doing the uploading data side obj. clear area around. went to fire this airburst, towards a small automaton factory base area. well, it immediately exploded and killed me. i was aiming up just enough to aim for the top of the factory. lol
Sadly a lot of disconnect problem on Bugs today out of 7 games 5 disconnects
Did a bit if testing with it and it takes 3 airburst missiles to kill any flying enemy and if you wanna use it for ground targets best range ti not kill you ir your teammates is 60meters
It can be used to take out groups of smaller enemies, but with some finesse, can be used to take out larger enemies and bot factories. The key is to fire it perpendicularly and adjacent to the target (i.e. the back of a hulk or front of a factory at a 90 degree angle).
I used the ARL against the bugs this morning, and it works great for clearing around bug nests, and breaches
If they want it to be good, or better, they can change it to be controlled by players by holding the fire button until it either reaches a max distance or the player let's go of the trigger to explode instantly.
The ABRL needs an arming delay of 30 meters. so it doesn't detonate until it travels that far away from launch.
It should be like the scopes based on distance, you change the distance traveled options by holding the reload button.
It's pretty effective as anti infantry weapons if you make sure to have some distance so it doesn't take you out in the explosion
You know what I really want? Anti-air sentries. Basically a spear sentries, but configured to be anti-air or armor only
Hell yes soldier!
for some reason there are people that think just because it has the word air in it that it means its anti air.....
the name literally says what it does but ok
Yeah, AA, because until we used it, the only time we've seen it used, it was used to kill a bunch of bug birds. Sooooo that's AA flack.
very original comment. never seen someone say this before not once or even a hundred times in TH-cam and reddit over and over and over and over again
First time I used the Airburst Rocket, my allies is in the blast zone and killed 2 of them, I just dropped in in the ground after that...
You have to use the shield generator relay if you use the airburst RL, and it still isn't a guarantee to keep you alive
11:33 bro thats devastating lmao
Clusters are good against planes too... should be good against medium armor as well if theyre going for what they type of launcher is good at
It would be good if the weapon could explode on user command, like launch missile and click button again for it to explode.
Dang, communication, glad they are doing it
Use it with the same caution as you would with the 120mm barrage. For the same target's as you would use the airburst bombardment.
Works fine if you use it like that.
It should have 2 modes. Proximity and Manual burst. Have it to where you hold down trigger for travel and release to detonate.
It's going to be limited use against enemy bases because bug hole clusters and factory encampments tend to be on high ground behind walls or crater rims. Without some kind of arc to the flight path you're going to wind up throwing air strikes and orbitals a lot of the time anyways
me an some lads found out you can indeed blow up factories with the airburst you just need a direct hit into the vents. Haven't tested on Nidholes yet tho.
I can see it be useful on elimination missions againsr bugs on the open map.😊
Oh my god, I love you put in that clip from the game. Too perfect to not have it immortalised. The bloody dropship teamkilling you as well at extraction haha!
it does blow up factories if you get it in the right angle. and the bombs fall into the ports
Are we ever going to get heavier armor with the scout perk?
I wish the proximity fuse function can be toggled by holding the R key
that ending clip is heart breaking LMAO
I aimed almost straight up at a dropship and a tree made it detonate on my head
Trees have killed many a player pilot through time, definetly an enemy 🤨
Maybe could add a feature to change the airburst detonation to an on trigger release option.
There should be a grenade launcher meant for launching stratagems much further away.
Or........ maybe have some sort of passive on armor that allows you to throw strategems up to 70-90 meters as opposed to your base 30m.
@@byronbarrientos8471 There is an armor passive that increases throw distance for both grenades and stratagems
Should just give it a flat arming distance like any other launcher. Maybe have a function where it can be adjusted.
I can def see using the airburst rockets against the bugs for fast patrol or fast group kills without having to get close enough to alert them but man against bots unless your solo it can make a mess of things if your team doesn't communicate XD.
One problem with using airburst against the terminids is that the terminids get right up in your faceway more often then bots. Definitely not a situation you want to use the airburst in
Where can we find bile spewers?
That ending on the gameplay video... ooofff.
A patch later this week? I wonder what they will bug and break this time…
That death at the end of this video😭😭😭
just waiting for a dagger n scythe buff..it will happen....right?
Even in a bugged state the airburst absolutely cranks against shriekers
Boy I sure wish we could have tried out the mines...
@stylosa how can you stand running around with that blinding light on your gun? 😎
This was kind of my problem and why I didn't participate in the order to decide the weapon we unlocked. "Airburst Rocket" and "Anti-Tank Mine" are specific enough to give me an idea of what it should/could do, but it's also ambiguous enough where they can also just do something that is outside the definition of both. This current experimental airburst is more of a proximity cluster burst. It goes near something, disperses little bomblets from the war head and then those explode dealing damage.
I think the common misconception that was given from leaked videos was that this would be like anti-air rockets that would take down gunships, dropships, and shriekers really easily. That's why I didn't want this initially. It looks like a definite crowd clearing option with a very high risk, so-so reward. I'm not saying the anti-tank mines would have been so much better, but we'll have to see once we do get those because it doesn't make sense for Arrowhead to make content to just never release it or for it to be trashbinned a week later (looking at the gunships and factory striders when they were first introduced and then a literal few days later we kicked the Automatons off the map.) So I'm just hoping the Anti-tank mines are a bit closer to what I'm thinking they are, which are that they only trigger under heavier loads and they pack a much larger boom. So you, a scavenger, a commissar, a raider, a hunter, and possibly a warrior can't set off the mines, but everything else can and it'll deal a big amount of damage to them (meaning charger feet get shredded, bile titan's actually get hurt from their toesies, hulks get an explosive enema, and devastators can suck my Anti-tank mine.)
Since this is the first of its kind of live service games I kinda like earning the weapon to unlock but I ALSO really enjoy getting a new items that is bugged a little and lore wise it’s the the mark 1 the citizen made under pressure and only once being saved by hell divers they can fixed the weapon they rushed to deliver to the hell divers.
They did say we were "likely" to only save one planet
Don't know if I'm late to the party, I didn't get to play with the airburst too much, but can it take down dropships?
no it doesn't affect them at all, you can fire at the bottom of the dropships to hit the passengers before they drop and as long as they aren't too tough armored.
also waiting till Tuesday when they push the patch that will make it work as intended and see if it can actually damage dropships or gunships days we don't know what it's final version can do
Yeah I knew it was bugged when I fired and it exploded 2 feet front of me. I was in a clearing.
My issue with the airbursts is we didn't need another way to deal with hordes. The issue my team runs into is always with tanks, striders, bile titans and chargers. The Spear would be a great answer..... but it doesn't work. I've tried to get it to work in nearly 20 games. It's not reliable.
To actually make the airburst work, I think it should NEVER detonate until it has reached more or less 30 meters from you. Ofc, it must always explode on impact, like on a wall or an enemy.
6:20 Yes it was the case around 10-15 years ago, now it can be done easily serverside.
The airburst launcher... We call it the friendly-fire machine.
They need to reduce the proximity by around 60% OR give it a delayed fuse for 1 or 2 seconds.
this is basically a portable eagle cluster bomb (at least it has the same teamkilling potential)
(Without the bugs, obviously) This weapon could be one of the best ways to 'break the ice' with both bot and bug patrols and reducing the likelihood that they could get off a reinforcement. Other viable strategies by comparison require the use of a well placed and timed orbital or eagle call-in or highly coordinated ambush tactics and such.
The spear is my current favourite. Almost immediate lock on..... I dispatched 2 charger and 1 bile titan in less than 4 minutes.... It was unbelievable.
I really like how it let's you hold a lock while you're reloading. You can put out a bunch of damage to a bunch of heavies in a short time, even solo reloading, if you can get a good vantage point to maintain lock.
Would be cool if they made the Airburst Explode when you release the Fire button.
I feel like it would fix alot of problems
So they let us try out the stratagems on their respective planets so that we know what we're getting but the stratagems aren't in their final state
I dont know if it was just me being careful with it or what, but I've been using it on Hellmire and it works fine enough (some explosions dont do damage though). Its great at taking out everything that summons bug breaches and bot drops. Loving the weapon
Did you notice the person asking if you are the guy from TH-cam? 6:22
Well my question would be: what can the Airburst do that an Eagle Cluster Bomb cant? And is it worth spending your backpack Slot on it? From what I've seen so far the answer is no... 😐
It can shoot when a stratagem jammer is around
@@emojothejojo thats useful, yes but a very specific scenario
They should add missions with air only enemies where this can shine or missions with only heavy armor foes the mines
So glad we picked this thing over the actually useful mines.
just make it where you hold the trigger and it detonates when you release or it hits an object
I feel like they can explain why this weapon is bugged like this to the fact that it was a "Experimental" version that was prone to this kind of stuff.
I was hoping it would behave similar to a MIRV fatman from fallout
I gotta say, even bugged, the airburst rocket launcher is fun as hell. Sure, you cannot shoot far with it, but you can charge in to a horde of bugs, scream "For democracy" and blow up yourself and everything around you.
I actually was able to kill destroy a fabricator that had no enemies and obstructions in front of it. Otherwise, I found it incredibly difficult to use. I get more kills with an Erupter blast, and the next shot comes much faster, too.
What it needs is an arming time *mid-air,* it shouldn't be ready to explode as soon as it leaves the barrel. Simple fix.
They've released this to the players now, and im dissapointed to say that, in an area VERY dense with enemies, it took two rockets to kill any enemies, and even then it only killed three bugs.
I want to have a squad that would run the air burst and yelling bonzai as we charge the enemies would be funny
What's crazy about the Tarkov thing, is even if they priced it $100 cheaper it would *still* be egregious. That's how insane the price is.
How does he play with flashlight on?!
The diplomacy officer heard you mention the scientists dying from our own toxic gas and sent the pelican to finish the job to keep ya quiet at the end there Sty.
5:32 I absolutely feel this sentiment! I love this game! I love Arrowhead and how they do this stuff 😂. They’re so good at communicating with the community and also incorporating everything with the lore of the game.
Those anti tank mines better be worth liberating MENKENT.
Stylosa, Chort bay is pronounced Court bay by the in game ship voice lol
just a timer like 2,3 sec before bang ?
Any stratagem that can't take out armor isn't gonna see much use at all. I really like the airburst, but it needs to be decent against armor at least.
