    - Vitality enhancement: gives +20% damage resistance - basically armor.
    I got that info from another TH-camr who does a lot of research.
    Muscle enhancement: another hidden effect is that you won't be slowed that much from Stalkers, and hunters --> you better escape.
    And another one:
    combine Death-Sprint with Vitality Booster and you can run for like 3 minutes before collapsing. Its underrated and the only thing you have to learn is stop holding down the sprint button.

    A fair assessment. I'd potentially tweak a couple things but I think you're presenting a very solid picture here.
    I'd personally drop Hellpod Space down to A tier. I used to think it was a mandatory pick. Especially since it's part of the "holy trinity" alongside sprint and vitality. But as I play more I find myself needing it less and less. It's nice to have, but ammo tends to be plenty.
    Firepods are a troll pick for the memes. I basically only pick it when I'm going all fire haha

    Thanks for this. I’ll be spending my credits better now. I thought firebomb hellpods could be good, but now I see that with their current implementation, they’re really bad. I think a quick fix would be to only let them burst into flames if they are out of range of other helldivers. Or helldivers need to be resistant to the damage they do/ enemies need to be weak to the damage they do. It would be cool to treat your friends like artillery more than we already do.

    Your health also drains 5x slower with the deadsprint booster is someone else brings the Vitality booster

  • @TooFewSecrets
    @TooFewSecrets 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Vitality booster effect on health is identical to an extra armor tier. You also *need* it to reliably survive a direct hit against the big strider rockets in heavy fortified armor. Vitality + stim booster is probably how you survived stepping on a mine in light armor.
    Stamina booster actually is very similar, stamina just a little below the next lowest armor tier. What a lot of people miss is that it also increases all movement speed by about an armor tier... except light, which is capped at its default speed values. So it's actually even better than just a stamina buff; if you're taking it you can upgrade any light armor to medium, keep about the same movement speeds, and only lose a bit of stamina. Technically this is a weaker effect than Vitality though, because it's a little less than a full armor tier instead of exactly an armor tier, and Vitality helps heavy armor fully while Stamina doesn't help light armor fully.
    Dead Sprint interacts with Vitality, because the 20% damage resistance it gives applies to damage over time. You get well over twice as much health-sprint time with it. Which... is probably a bug. Similar DoT of bug acid is dropped to 0 because of damage rounding down, so it shouldn't do damage at all. Or if each tick does 2 damage and rounds down to 1 with Vitality, it should only be exactly twice as long. Maybe there's a failsafe with Dead Sprint because they ran into this in testing.
    IMO the core is Vitality, Stamina, Stim, and then Dead Sprint on standard planets or Muscle on ones with bad terrain. Space Optimization is nice to have but it just does not offer as much as Dead Sprint or Muscle. Especially Muscle. Agony being on a snow planet moving at half speed everywhere because nobody brought it. Except on defense missions where you aren't moving around anyway; movement boosters don't add anything there, so you might as well take it. But even then, when you aren't moving around, staying supplied isn't much of an issue because the supply pack guy can hand out ammo easily and you aren't leaving behind resupply bricks.

    For anyone who didn’t know, dead sprint has absolutely broken synergy with the vitality enhancement, if you have both of those equipped then I believe you can continue sprinting for just over 2 minutes before reaching 1 hp. Personally if I see someone take vitality enhancement then I always pick dead sprint and sometimes with the supply pack if the difficulty is really high

    Here's what I would do
    -Remove stam/HP/Ammo boosters and have them be passive upgrades or just patch it so Helldivers drop with these boosts by default.
    -Have a booster philosophy that they are there to provide niche or clutchy-like playstyles or they fill out your playstyle by having them be utility focused
    i.e. utility for example would be like the UAV recon so you don't get detected as easily. Or movement+ or orbitals stun enemies they don't destroy or something. Use boosters as fun, niche little "boosts" that are there to change up and highten gameplay.

    Another thing to mention about muscle enhancement is that on top of it helping you walk through snow, sand, shrubs, etc more easily, it also lets you run on slopes at full speed. No staggering and power stepping up the hill. Additionally on the bug front, it makes a better “motivational shocks” booster as it decreases the intensity of the bugs’ slow effect

    The only ones here I need to explain are my placements of Hellpod Space Optimization, Dead Sprint, and Stamina. In team play Dead Sprint allows for longer bouts of mobility especially in heavy armor and with stim pistol its drawback is nullified. Dead Sprint made Stamina Enhancement less important for me which is why its down in A. As for hellpod space my teammates and I die maybe once or twice total a mission so its dead weight.

    @BackwardsPancake 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Couple cases I'd like to make:
    - The reinforcement boosters are both functionally (even if not literally) F tier, on the grounds that since we only have 4 booster slots, there is basically no situation where they create better value towards their supposed goal than something else you could put in those slots. If you're in a game where you're ever completely using up your standard 20 reinforcements, first of all, you're doing something fundamentally wrong, and second of all, you would have gotten way more value by bringing any other booster to make the most out of your previous 20(!) lives instead - Whether by improving your ability to survive damage (Vitality, Exp. Infusion, or even just Space Optimization for extra stims) or your ability to run away from danger (Stamina booster, Muscle enhancement, Dead Sprint). Even if you ignore the fundamental problems, just one extra life per player (or 13 seconds off the reinforcement timer) for a whole booster slot is comically bad value, considering everything else on offer.
    - On similar grounds, I would also put the Expert Extraction Pilot in near-F tier. If you need help with the extraction, you would get way better value out of literally anything else other than just lopping off

    @tatooinestar 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Just to add, there are additional health benefits to the Muscle Enhancement booster too, not just the improved movement, in some areas it gives more perks than Stamina or Vitality. I'd list it S tier

    Stamina booster NEEDED for heavy armor. Jetpack starting to seem necessary too, which sucks but makes you into a mobile tank. 200hp armor with health boost, stamina boost, and a jetpack is nearly indestructible.
    Also, PS. When you use the stamina one that drains your health, and pair it with vitality boost, you take way less damage for whatever reason apparently. They have a good synergy

    One note about dead sprint vs stamina enhance, dead sprint is infinite stamina vs extended stamina. IE one let's you not slow down to the jogging animation and I think the benefit outweighs the cost. I'd rather have infinite stamina then 20% extra

    I forget who, but I watched another TH-cam video where the guy stacked dead sprint with the vitality enhancement booster, and it effectively tripled his sprint time since dead sprint had more health to chew through.

    What the sucky boosters should do...
    UAV Recon - Increase radar range and display Stim, Ammunition, Grenade and Samples within range on the mini-map.
    Increased Reinforcement Booster - Adds an additional Reinforcement per Helldiver and instantly launches reinforcements.
    Flexible Reinforcement Budget Booster - Reduces Reinforcement Cooldown by 50%.
    Expert Extraction Booster - Extraction is launched instantly.
    Motivational Shocks Booster - Helldivers regenerate health and gain 20% increased movement speed for 20 seconds after being affected by an EMS effect. (EMS Orbital and Stun Grenades)
    Firebomb Hellpods - Hellpods are lined with a fire suppression system that reduces fire damage taken by 75% for Helldivers within 25 yards of the Hellpod.

    • @zophix-5741
      @zophix-5741 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@captainbotstick2443 I disagree because its optional. Also you may not understand what I mean by instant, instant in this case is treated like the stratagem module upgrade that makes support weapons launch instantly. So essentially it means once the reinforce stratagem hits the ground, the pod is instantly launched. The internal death cooldown still remains. I think this would be fantastic.
      For Example, Helldiver A is on the north side of the map and dies so a reinforce is thrown by his teammate up there. However, Helldiver B on the south side of the map dies right before the reinforce goes through and gets grouped with the reinforce. When he would've rather been reinforced on the south side of the map where he died.
      As for the other ones, all of the suggestions I've given would make them significantly more interesting and useful to take, in my opinion of course.

    Imo, your squad should always be running at least Vitality Enhancement Booster and Experimental Infusion. Anything else is kinda YMMV, but those two are a must to ensure maximum squad survivability. I'll also say this, someone in every squad should be carrying a stim pistol. For those light injuries, or if you get a second behind cover, using a stim pistol instead of a stim will help save on resources. It takes a bit of planning, but if everyone can conserve their stims a little, then again, survivability should increase.

  • @mertekal5123

    You don't have to change your mind in Vitality, it is S without a question. Reduces the damage you take from the enemies and other several sources. And if you are going to take Dead Sprint it's a must have.

    Stamina, Vitality, Space Optimization, and Experimental Stims. The four horseman of Helldiver boosters.

    And yes, the Fire Hellpod booster is just an awful idea and should've been thought out better.

    I completely disagree with the experimental infusion booster. It usually does no more than a regular stim except some speed.

    At least you can use stims at will now, so it's not completely worthless.

And as a quality of life improvement I'd also make it change all your strategem becons from blue to red to indicate danger.

    I would balance boosters by separating them into 2 categories, major and minor.
    Each player has 3 slots, 1 for a major booster, 2 for minor boosters.
    Major boosters apply to the whole team, minor boosters apply only to you.
    This gives more wiggle room, problem now is there is too much gap between each tier.

    7:40 not sure why you were seeing basically no benefit from the motivational shocks. All the videos I've seen that compare the the duration of slowing debuffs with/without the shocks shows that it gives a significant decrease in the duration of those debuffs, somewhere from 25-50% reduction, which is amazing vs bugs! Those videos were from around the time the booster came out so maybe an update made the booster stop working right?

    Dead Sprint is very different depending on if you pair it with Vitality Enhancement or not. If paired, I'm tempted to call it strictly better than the basic Stamina Enhancement and rounds out the typical ideal four S boosters for almost all 4 player teams. Unpaired, A seems right.

      Firebomb hellpods is a joke with little use even in teams that all run inflammable armor. Such a pain landing and getting set on fire just for spawning or being stuck waiting for fires to die to get your support gear. Now if it had a team wide benefit for fire resist and/or reduced burning duration before it dies out naturally...could feel functional in those high aggression fire teams that also use support gear call ins offensively to crush heavy targets or bug holes

  • @zemufinman1639

    Additions id make to bad boosters
    Increased budget: +1 more life per diver
    Flexible budget: regen reinforcements when below [number of players] until you have [number of players] reinforcements
    Expert pilot: extraction automatically calls itself in when available. Pilot will approach drop zone until he is 1 minute away where he will wait for helldivers to reach extraction zone before continuing descent.
    Motivational shocks: helldivers get up 75% faster after diving or being ragdolled
    UAV: mini map ignores jammers, spores and ion storms. Counteracts poor intel modifier
    Localization confusion: enemies reinforcement calling animation is 100% longer. This gives a larger window to stop them but doesn't effect frequency
    Hellpod firebomb: all hellpods act normally, press jump while dropping in to turn off the reverse thrusters. Turning off landing thrusters causes you to no longer be able to move the hellpod but you will fall twice as fast, burst into flames on impact and deal 10 times as much direct impact damage.
    Muscle enhancement: 50% melee damage boost

    What r u talking about motivational shocks is super useful against termids. I remember when I used it when it first came out and me and my friend loved it so much. We brought it every bug mission back then. I don’t use it as much recently since there are other good boosters so maybe they nerfed it because it was too good.
    Oh btw the localization confusion should also be S tier, I feel like it literally lower the difficulty by at least 1. It can sometimes make 10 feels like 8.

    • @shroomian2739
      @shroomian2739 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think that the benefits of hellpod space optimization go a lot further especially when you’re playing with a team. It vastly reduces the number of times you have to resupply and is very helpful for situations where you’re forced away from your resupply or don’t have one on hand. Another useful thing about it is that when dealing with engineering/med kit armors, which constitute some of the best in the game, you can drop in with all six stims/nades, saving you two resupply packs. It’s place at the very start of progression also helps it, as it will be available and useful at any point regardless of if you’re fresh out of mars or a grizzled creek veteran.

    Otherwise its 100% the same tier list as mine and if I dare to say it, its the meta.
