I dont have it unlocked, but it doesn't look like a great weapon when you are surrounded by automatons, but it seems good for clusters of enemies, so I might take it against the Terminids
u just gota use it the same way as ud use the dominator - pair it with a stalwart something to clear the small units and help with the swarms. Then its super powerful & so much fun to use
I feel like a slower firing, slightly larger AoE autocannon is a better comparison than the grenade launcher but largely agree with the rest. However, still isn't going to replace my Dominator.
yeh its not replacing my dominator either tbh lol switched back to the Dom tonight and ohhh boy is she sweet! missed her after spending a week or so with the eruptor
@slugman7070 why would it have a gas buffer that's not a reason. Bolt guns a very simple they don't need any gas system. That would make it a gas operated system and therefore semi auto or full auto.
Excellent vid! I saw that you seem to favor the Dominator quite a bit, would you pick the Eruptor over it? Still trying to decide between the 3 warbonds which one I want to start with.
thank you dude - appreciate it :) yes i LOVE the dominator. And no i definitely wouldnt choose the eruptor over the dom.. i actually just switched back to using the dom again tonight after I used the eruptor for 10 or so missions when researching n recording this video.. and ohhh man what an absolute breath of fresh air! hahaha was so good to have my dominator back in my hands. I would still 100% recommend the Steeled Veterans warbond. I think the dominator & the breaker incendiary are two of the best guns in the game right now and so its really an easy choice.
@@Mogz-hd I agree, plus the grenade pistol in detonation is handy don't get me wrong, but looks situational and I want that Big Iron from the steeled veterans package lol. That dominator is absolutely calling my name with it looks amazing. Especially against bots, my punisher has carried me but I want to switch it up. I'll be waiting for the next video man, keep it up! For Super Earth! 🫡
@@FrostyFrodo oooo a punisher man! the punisher is my other favourite gun! im mostly a bug player myself but..yeh bro I used the dominator against bots tonight for the first time (on a high difficulty) since the buff, and it was absolutely shredding. Although I found it tough to use ADS against bots cos they were constantly shooting at me.. so i had to hip fire it a lot. (or uh, 3rd person ads) Still.. that "crunch" sound effect when u hit the bot weakspot after the BOOM of the dominator.. its a sweet sweet sound cheers dude! glad at least someone is lookin fwd to my content lol.. not too happy with the views on this channel lately :/ oh well! :D
@@Mogz-hd I'm not going to lie, I'm absolutely sick to death of fighting the damn bots! Ready to change it up, need to get the breaker incendiary and grab a flamethrower then go light up some bugs for a break 😅 But yeah I think I've finally decided I'll grab the steeled veterans warbond, going to see what the newest patch does to the new warbond weapons first though. And yeah I love the content, doesn't feel like you go into detail to drag out a video. I see lots of Helldivers channels where I feel like I'm just watching for an eternity just so they can get enough video made. I think you have it down pretty good, hate to hear it isn't going how you want man I'll be here watching on breaks at work 👍🏻🫡
@alphamaccao5224 precision of language is very important in both communication and coding. Also firearm culture is already the victim of rampant misinformation, so it's important to combat it when possible
I really hope they don't nerf this thing. The single-shot damage potential is so high, but it's SO unwieldy to use. So heavy to bring to bear, so slow to fire, so easy to kill yourself in close quarters. I really feel like it's in a great balance of pros and cons. If they were to bring the damage down, it would go straight to the bin for me.
Along with the Railgun, the Arc Thrower, the Slugger, etc, etc, etc. They really need to stop balancing this game when there are so many software bugs in it.
do the developer know what semi automatic means? that is a bolt action rifle semiauto is when it ejects and loads the next round automatically after firing but can not fire multiple rounds by holding the trigger down.
Or, and hear me out you malicious scumbag, it's easier to just keep semi for single-shot per trigger pull rather than make a unique indicator in both the coding and in picture assets just for a single weapon. The break action shotgun has semi as well IIRC.
I'm certain they know but I'm equally certain they probably don't think making a whole separate "bolt-action" icon and descriptor for that menu is worth it.
banger vid mogz
cheers mogz
Your poll of subscription made me want to pay attention to the content of your channel. Now I'm subscribed for HD2 so I need to change it😂

@@Mogz-hdjust got it and will use that advice
@@Mogz-hdmy verdict powerful but limited a balanced weapon to be sure
@@emojothejojo totally agree. has big up sides & very clear down sides
@@Mogz-hdapparently the thermite grenade is bugged and so is most damage over time
I always like to imagine a team of 4 in sync using the same thing to maximize its output
0:27. That Titan got LAUNCHED. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
lolllll fax
there are a bunch of launchings of other units later in the vid too. mostly near the end

love how the bolt cycles before he even actuates the bolt lever.
Dont think thats the bolt but a gas buffer or something to mediate recoil. the bolt itself doesnt move till he manipulates it
@slugman7070 brother why would a bolt action have a gas system?
@@soybean9098 I literally gave a reason with my initial response lmao

@@soybean9098 are you just choosing to ignore my comment where I stated the possible reason for it was to mediate recoil?

Semi-auto =/= bolt action
Keeping image count and code lines down is more important than some pedantic scumbag getting their way.
