Delivering Democracy to Bugs is AMAZING

Today, we're checking out a game that you've probably heard of recently: Helldivers II.
Drawing heavy inspiration from cult classic, Starship Troopers, the game specializes in the simulation of delivering liberty and freedom to your adversaries in the form of high explosives, rail guns rounds, and more.
Dare I say, this one lives up to the hype?
FOR SUPEREARTH

2 months ago i was felling “meh” towards TH-cam recommendations, but lately the algorithm has been recommending me from 500 to 30k subscribers channels more frequently.
You my friend are one of those underrated channels and you seem to have good potential for your future ahead this rate, so keep it up!!
Reminds me when i was a 12 yo back then discovering gold mines of channels and watching then slowly grow, I’m glad there’s still people with dedication and talent like you out there, so keep it up man.
Sincerely a 23yo aircraft enthusiast ;)

I would be down to see more from you regarding this game. Have been having a blast with it myself with my group of friends. Nothing beats nailing those stratagems and seeing the battlefield showered in bug viscera.

Yeah it's great, when I'm not recording content this has become my go to game just for having fun!

Single player in this game is honestly kinda miserable past tier 4 difficulty.
Also no offline mode when servers are down is a big oof.

I really love this game, but I wish it was easier to play due to the full servers. Though about the automatons, they are my favorite guys to deliver democracy towards so far, and I find them much easier to combat than the bugs. The game’s depth, bordering on milsim, actually allows for real infantry tactics. I’ve been also just fighting them exclusively since launch.
Here are some tips for them robot dudes: Aim for the heads when possible and ensure to bring a heavy rifle. Have at least one person with a precision strike strategem or a 500 kg bomb for tanks and hulks. Prioritize your targets; rocket launcher units should be taken down first. Devastators with MLRS will die on average from 5 shots if you target their shoulder rockets and then their face. Rocket launcher soldiers, on the other hand, die from an average of 2 hits.
Avoid close quarters if there are jetpack guys around, as they tend to explode (and kill you) upon death. Prickly fruit trees (spiky trees that slow you down when you touch them) are explosive; shoot them when a horde of weaker enemies is nearby. An important thing in Helldivers 2 is that the very real tactic of micro-cover does work. If you’re in an open field and being shot at, get down on the ground. You’ll realize that all laser rifle shots will hit the rocks in uneven terrain and the clumps of dirt created by small deformations from explosions. But don’t get too confident with this ofcourse. Doing it too close might kill you, but even at distance less than 10 meters has saved my life.
If you find a group to play with, practice tactics such as bounding, and it’ll make a significant difference. Also, automatons sometimes forget where you are and will just do blind suppressive fire. So, if you’re far away, try to flank them as they shoot aimlessly. Finally, automatons themselves are vulnerable to suppressive fire, and they will slow down and start missing shots the more bullets fly past them. Therefore, a player with the Machinegun strategem is a must-have.
As for strategems in general, that depends on the mission, but walking barrage and orbital lasers are lifesavers. The only thing I struggle with is their melee guys, so I guess just run and shoot at them. Also, as of writing this armor actually doesn't work in the game, so just go with light armors as you move faster. They devs are looking into this at the moment.
Also unrelated since you sometimes cover Gundam games: have you played MS Sensen 0079 for the Wii? I was surprised to find out It was exclusive to Japan, but it's basically an improved successor to rise from the ashes. It's plays well in emulator due to the Wiimote being used for aiming, so you can play it like a traditional FPS and it works surprisingly well. I recommend you taking a look into it.

Thanks for the tips and I'll check out that Wii title!
