Helldivers 2 // HMG's Turing Test - Terminid Coop Helldive - All Clear

[@DummyThiccc]

16:59 i damn near spit out my Frosted Eagle Sweat Flakes when Spiked almost walked into that hole

[@newspiked7385]

Eagle Sweat™ keeps you on your toes! iO

[@thepromman]

Spiked videos 3 days in a row?? Blessed.

[@dagdamor1]

The 0 deaths statistic at the end of the mission implies Spiked's Helldiver fought his way to another AO and managed to extract offworld like a badass.

[@sirgaz8699]

I've had 5 HDs make it to their 5th mission. 4 died to FF and the other took a devistator rocket aimed at another HD to her face and launched head first into a wall that killed her (made me question why I even bothered with explosive resist heavy armour if I still get 1 shot from full health).

[@newspiked7385]

Yeah, funny how you never get one shot directly by a rocket now, but it's the impact damage from physics that will

[@franzoloranzo7302]

@@newspiked7385the fortified commando armor actually protects you better against rockets because the damage isn‘t purely explosive, but has a ballistic component as well, fortified is only better against grenades, mines, etc.

Turing test? sounds like bot propaganda

No wait Mr. Democracy Officer, let me explain...

your uploads are basically my therapy before going to bed at this point

[@newspiked7385]

maybe I should try this on the baby...

Going to bed listening to the sounds of Democracy being spread...

[@kelrandolph9833]

Watching your video have made me a better player! Cheers!

[@asraarradon4115]

This was really fun to watch. You guys blazed through on Helldive using non-meta loadouts and stratagems. I love to see it. Well done.
And on a side note, how your dry wit fails to crack up your teammates is beyond me. I busted up laughing at the "and my axe" and "goose" responses.

[@newspiked7385]

They've had a lot of time to get tired of my dad jokes :P Glad someone appreciates it though!

[@thatzachguy76]

Thought you were dead for sure when that swarm caught you on the ground, insane recovery

[@newspiked7385]

Tib saved my bacon there with some vital cover!

[@originalSPECTER]

Eagle 1 heard me talking’ shit.

[@ninjacow]

11:18 that Bile Titan said "GET THAT OUTTA HERE".

[@newspiked7385]

Bounced that shit right back!

[@ifhefitzhesits5209]

Top tier Helldiving AND corn flake ASMR?? Now THIS is content.

[@newspiked7385]

XD

[@maximumzozzle4699]

respect for trying to make the HMG work, i dont love it that much against bugs but nice to see you experimenting! I get that they want to follow a trend of reload time and mag size for Stalwart -> Machine Gun -> Heavy machine gun, I think it would be interesting if instead of touching those two stats they just buffed the damage a lot so it takes less bullets to kill stuff without headshots

[@newspiked7385]

Yeah, it definitely takes getting used to, and I think it is better fit for bots. Being able to take out Charger asses quickly is something it has over the other two MGs, but tbh there's a bunch of primaries that can do that within a stun too. Higher damage would be an interesting one, if it could (can? I haven't really tested) one-tap light enemies that might make it more general purpose.

[@Brokentwobutton]

It takes very few HMG rounds to face plate. Other than the elite light bots, I'm pretty sure the over penetration DMG causes 1 shots except to torso. Bug or bot, it will rip legs if you have to sweep under pressure or don't have any stuns up.
The BS&P idea to run v bugs is great. I hope it gets a little capacity back this week.

[@Titanus_Gojir4]

Babe wake up, new Spiked Helldive just dropped

[@TheRiz1205]

I still enjoyed watching you play HD2, not so much play it myself for the past few weeks, but a new warbond looks good, secondary sawed off shotty ! I will be returning back next week, this week, Imma finish my other games, Bioshock Infinite, Atomic Heart and Cyberpunk 2077 DLC hopefully.

[@newspiked7385]

Yeah, breaks are always good to keep things fresh, new Warbond looks promising too. Hope you enjoy Phantom Liberty! I had a blast with that, still got more Cyberpunk playthroughs planned, Night City is a vibe.

[@thepromman]

@@newspiked7385 Can't lie post-DLC/2.0 CP2077 has cracked my top 5 games of all time. I know folks love driving around in GTA5, but for me that's CP2077. Also Panam

[@newspiked7385]

I know it's not quite as freeform roleplaying (story-wise) as some other RPGs, but still has some of the best writing and characters in a long time and the city is one-of-a-kind.
(And yes Panam

[@phdbot4483]

That was quite the loadout, making use of some of the less popular weapons and anti-tank stratagems.
Looking forward to the new warbond next Thursday. The new armor makes me wanna smack those pesky Scavengers, Hunters, and beheaded Brood Commanders more than ever before.

[@newspiked7385]

Thanks! And yeah, curious how big the melee bonus will be, and if it applies to the throwing knife as well...

[@bluemew6457]

Making a charger’s ass jiggle with the HMG is great. It’s a shame that the mag is so tiny tho. Great vid.

[@newspiked7385]

Yeh, either reload or mag size buff would feel great

[@dazzake7431]

These are always a joy to watch.

[@FrenchyFella]

ASMR intensifies lmao. Great video!

[@newspiked7385]

XD

[@windsgrace688]

40:45 I think the bile titan just stomped on Pelican 1 one too many times causing it to make an emergency takeoff. Pelican 1 probably has an an undisclosed amount of HP because I've witnessed it take off "randomly" a bunch of times while tanking attacks (mostly from bile titans), much to the confusion of everyone on the ground. Eagle 1 can also make an "emergency rearm" in the middle of an airstrike if she takes too much damage from the bot AA guns too (credit to Eravin for showing that off).

[@newspiked7385]

Good to know! The Emergency Rearm sounds interesting, I've seen her get downed by AA before but actually only ran into the forced rearm recently during a bug mission - I assumed it was a bug related to the free eagle pods though, like it mistakenly thought all my eagles had been used.

[@znail4675]

Moving down stalkers made for a good promotion of the HMG.

[@keonwells934]

You guys are so good. Enjoyed the video

[@Bloodless479]

25:20 the Terminid Space Program

[@nixodgaming8108]

One: I love that you're using the Enforcer armor, while not the best it is my favorite looking armor in the game
Two: For your communication with the radar tower and which way to turn it, my team I usually run with and I have switched to saying clockwise or counterclockwise, and since then we have never had any confusion on which way to rotate it.

[@newspiked7385]

It's my fashion choice for Turing, thanks to that purple ha!
The thing about clockwise and anticlockwise is it's also confusing - what's clockwise on the control panel (looking down at the dish) is anticlockwise when turning the radar (looking up at the dish). But go with whatever works for the team, in the end!

[@nixodgaming8108]

@@newspiked7385 Fair point. I guess for our squad we just think of the radar tower top down at all times, even as the guy turning the dish. To us, 12:00 is always forward from where you turn the dish 🕛, and 6:00 is where then wheel operator is standing 🕡

[@Brokentwobutton]

I call times. It always starts at 6:00

[@JonnyBravo0311]

A tasty bowl of eagle sweat flakes washed down with a cup of liber-tea. The most democratic way to start every day!

[@cosmosorbust]

I see Spiked. I click on Spiked.

[@AnonymousVenator]

If you have to use the HMG on the Bile Titan, it can actually kill it by fully destroying the back/bile sack of the Titan. Might need more than 1 mag though not sure.

[@newspiked7385]

Yeah, have done it before, but my attempt this time was a fail!

[@Bannedinlyfe]

Mag dump into charger arse lol

[@StevenConstantineMoschidis]

was sweating buckets, and not the good eagle sweat kind, every time you walked near a titan corpse 🤣🤣

[@newspiked7385]

Those uh, physics anomalies are the real threat

[@StevenConstantineMoschidis]

I've died so many times because I stepped on an undemocratic pixel

[@chewher4171]

Fun

[@exaqshun]

How did you get your cape ripped? (at its bottom) I haven't had that happen in months. It does not look like the steel veteran pre-torn capes either. Nor did I see you using a jetpack (unless it was from a game before)

[@newspiked7385]

Think it's just damage from the previous mission. No time for a cape change!

[@Annokh]

Weirdly enough, magdumping with MG-42 also works against normal chargers...

[@newspiked7385]

Yup, the recent buffs have made it so good. HMG is still the bot pick at least.

[@chewbacaboose1493]

Does any1 know if he ever livestreams?

[@newspiked7385]

I don't, aside from streaming to people waiting in the discord voice channel. I'd like to try streaming on yt/twitch, but I feel like I might be called away from the pc at any moment, which isn't ideal.

[@joshua5207]

you in the military bro?

[@newspiked7385]

Lol no, just an avid coop gamer. Not the first time someone has asked tho which is pretty funny.

[@CheapGodiva]

AT 16:56 you could have used that Hellhole in front of you like a Hellbomb. Fire a grenade into it to take out the Bile Titan.

[@newspiked7385]

Sadly doesn't work with stun nades iirc, and would probably kill myself trying it with the grenade pistol

[@CheapGodiva]

@@newspiked7385 Fair point. Using the grenade pistol wouldn't leave you time to escape.
