Saying you wouldn't prioritize Hellpod Space Optimization over anything else is CRAZY! That is an A-S tier booster, especially in group play. That statement is only true in solo play, where you actively prioritize staying alive.
I never ever EVER take the HSO. Once you drop, call down a supply pod and you are set and then stick together. You are basically wasting a booster slot where you can much more vital boosters for survivability for something you already have in an unlimited amount of stratagems with decent fast cool down. Also, supplies are very common across the map making it even more of a waste. Usually the ones who pick HSO are the ones who build for a play style where they drop like flies over and over (and they do...) instead of actually build in a way where you stay alive.
@@Gundolf300 we get 20 lives per mission there is little to no reason to completely avoid dying I for one will tactically die in certain situations, sometimes multiple times per mission, because dying and getting reinforced is the fastest way to traverse the map so having HSO is nice, though I can absolutely live without it
@Gundolf300 true, as one does. I don't stick together in the group all the time, and my randoms normally don't either. We break up into groups of 2, or someone goes solo to handle things. It's also very common to get separated in the heat of battle, or to have generally bad games where you all die over and over. Either way you slice it, the HSO booster is an A-S tier pick
Uh, the only context in which you can justifiably call Hellpod Space Optimization "average" would be in solo runs where you get supply pods all to yourself. If your running a full team like +99% of players do, it's a core part of the big 4 (Vitality, Infusion, Space Opt, Stamina).
yeah i always make sure to have it, especially when u drop in an aweful spot and u need the stims to live since 2 isnt enough or if u do live ur left with nothing to use.
If you're running with blitzer, laser weapons, or supply pack you really don't need it unless you die a lot. It has even less use if you take a mech. It's still above average though.
Hot take... people who think med kit is better than engineering kit don't know how to stay alive and not get hit. I'm sorry, but 7!! Frags is amazing. And while it's a niche use, fortified is great for bile spewers on bugs because their puke is labeled as explosive damage. I strongly disagree with the sickle being bottom, it's accuracy and no recoil more than make up for its low damage. It pairs really well with the GL imo.
frags are incredibly useful at wiping out groups of little bugs/spewers or entire bot patrols while staying behind solid cover and not using up a stratagem, just gotta learn to cook them properly
1:00 not true. It helps you survive bile spewer juice, bile titan juice, spore charger explosions, the green bug artillery stuff, all that. Basically anything that splashes.
@ethandebruyne9206 nooooo 😂 its deceiving in looks, i almost exclusively use blitzer, grenade pistol and thermite, then ill have bouts using random weapons that i never use just to try them out. The other ones i really like are the lib pen and sickle.
Frag grenades come with a single extra use, making them good for bug missions when you have to clear a mega nest. Of course there are all sorts of other options but that’s how I use it
The reason stun rounds do less damage is because of it's penetration. Lower pen = no DMG, equal pen = half damage, higher pen = full DMG. Since it has light pen it's ALWAYS doing half dmg
I also dislike that you said that motivational shocks is an average booster when the time reduction is less then .75 seconds like it almost doesn't do shit 😂😅
It is interesting that specifially chemical agents is the worst one yet because that one was technically released AFTER the devs realized that they are losing players because all the stuff they release is garbage and the rest is just getting nerfed into the ground. Polar patriots is a interesting one because when that one was released that was BY FAR the worst one yet and with the boring af armor bonuses they disappointed a huge chunk of the community but with the recent buff that warbond was improved A LOT, purifier is now an S-Tier weapon and the AR-61 Tenderizer is now my go to rifle for bots because of its high damage and low recoil you can headshots enemies pretty well just by being all spray and pray. Viper commando could use some love tho I feel like all weapons are underperforming especially the throwing knife.
Honestly anything negative about viper commando more than makes up for it by giving you objectively one of the best top 3 passive buffs in the game (peak physique) also the armor just looks so slick

Very true if nobody takes HSO I'll take it easily top 3 for me
Yeah I love it especially with randoms. Might be able to argue to swap it out if you are playing with a bunch of sweats on a discord call.

The impact incendiary grenade is easily one of the best grenades against bugs definitely not bottom tier what so ever

Cutting edge and demo det, have been most useful to me
💯
Just farmed enough for demo warbond. I bought the war bonds in the worst order. Viper, polar patriot, cutting edge, then demo

Fortified isn't that bad on bugs. Spewer and bile titan acid counts as explosive damage
You can change the key bind to switch firing mode, this makes auto cannon, recoiled, and ESPECIALLY THE HALT SHOTGUN, much better/easier
Frag grenades come with a single extra use, making them good for bug missions when you have to clear a mega nest. Of course there are all sorts of other options but that’s how I use it
Yeah frags are not only good on bugs if you cook them and make em explode right on em but are amazing as a spawner closing tool
i think purifier carries polar patriots to a tier
the gun is just so good

Couldn't agree more on demo being S
W list

Amzing video as always. Also congrats on 5.9k subs
polar patriots has the purifier and tenderizer, that for me is enough to place it in A
Are you aware of the body type setting for your character?
Like the ranking but don't you speak so treasonous about democracy protects passive!
