while he did note that its hard to comment on weapons because the devs adjust and change them a dozen times before a review video would even come out, I like how you can tell exactly when the video makers recorded their footage in the games lifetime
My wife's new favorite phrase is "lookout, spicy potato" as she lobs a grenade AT me. Mine is "oh shit, fall BACK" when i misfire my drops. Needless to say it has made trips to the grocery store more entertaining.
20:50 No no, you've got a point. Each are bad, but at least there's strategy with the bots. Bug missions are pretty much always a 40 minute Benny Hill theme while constantly being out of grenades.
Sounds to me like Makari is in the top 5% of players in general, thinking bots on 8+ is "easy" is NOT for true for the majority of players. A group of of the top 10% can do it sure, but that's the top 10%, just like there is only a few that can successfully do a no hit lvl 1 all bosses challenge run in Elden Ring. With time and practive it's possible, like, at all, for a good 20%, but even among those most of them aren't into that kind of experience. Around 80% of players in almost ALL video games ever are casual players, playing only once through a game like Elden Ring or never really going above 7 in HD2 outside of experimenting.
"You feel like you're part of the fight" Me hiding in a bush surrounded by Bots shooting over my head keeping me from moving as eagles fly overhead "I wanna go home"
12:03 Makari my friend, I love how you didn’t even know at the time that you were going to say something that Badger himself would comment on later in the video once again lmao 42:35 oh wow you did it again
"You can never have a build that's entirely well-rounded." Perhaps, but I can get close. Liberator/Standard Breaker. Senator. Standard Grenades. Spear. HMG Emplacement. Orbital Precision Strike. +free stratagem slot. I can deal with lights, mediums, and heavies. There is nothing in any situation that I will ever not have an answer to. Things are low cooldown and I got a backup Spear if my OPS is on cooldown or if I see a heavy in the distance.
How dare you skip Badger's ad on Swamp Ass. Badger makes the most entertaining ads on the planet to give you something comfy or fresh to wear or something delicious. I'm just saying, you should hear him out.
Eagle Airstrike works well if you get it to line up properly, Orbital Precision Strike works great if you can get it towards the head, 500kg can work good, but is kinda inconsistent. In terms of support weapons, Commando works amazingly, Autocannon can kill it with 6 shots to the underbelly, or 5 shots to the eye on its faceplate kills it incredibly efficiently. The Laser Cannon kills it in under one battery if you hit any of it's exposed joints. The Anti Material Rifle can take it down too with its eye, but not as efficiently. As a bonus, the Grenade Pistol can kill a Strider with most of its ammo to the belly, but it's not super efficient. Use it as a last resort if you have it equipped & nothing else that can take it down.
before the game came out, an Arma 3 TH-camr, Rubixraptor did a Helldivers mod for his group and it was awesome. This was my only knowledge of Helldivers before the game came out
I drop with Eagle Airstrike, Shield Backpack, Quasar Cannon, and typically the Autocannon turret. My armor is the same as Badger's. I use impact grenades, the manual reload shotgun and revolver.
Oh, and I got the game gifted to me for my birthday. I spent the money for the upgrade to support it. I don't brag about it, I honestly use the titles from level progression instead of the fancy "Super Citizen" because I think of references. As a Chief I thought Halo, with Captain and Admiral I thought of Pirates of the Caribbean. When I hit Commander I'm Shepard from Mass Effect.
Games like lethal company and helldivers wher made by such small teems thay seem like thay woud be boring but thay are sum of the best games i have ever played
3:41 i have actually played the first game I remember lots of of accidentals happening because everyone had to stay on the same screen 20:50 Also is second that
For people that don't like the 500kg I understand but I am bringing it because I don't like messing around with tank enemies and that's what it's most effective at
Ngl two games I think Badger will probably try out are Marvel Rivals and Wild Assault. Rivals because of Jeff the Landshark and Wild Assault because of his crippling fear of being pipebombed. Also do people deadass think Helldivers ain't satire? Like how it's the farthest thing from subtle😂
i was playing Helldivers 2 just a little bit ago, and i had the bug where mines went invisible every single time some landmines were deployed, annoying since there's that current major order to kill stuff with landmines, and so everyone's spamming them
Don’t forget that the HellDivers 2 Discord is in shambles because of the people that are running it. Don’t forget the constant nerfs of beloved weapons
Never in a million years did anyone from the older generation of gamers think that true cross-platform play would ever become possible. Now it is, but we get screwed out of it anyway because of stuff like region locked accounts. The scam is unreal. There is literally no reason for this. If I can get on a Discord call with a guy from Mongolia, I should be able to play Helldivers with somebody from Saudi Arabia. It's like they're going backwards on the internet, we're becoming less connected now instead of more.
Best part in Helldivers 2 whas befor they did make Armor so you culd trow the 700 mm Barage a bit furter away then a trucks legnth, AKA No mather what armor you have wheter it is SPEED or FAT TANK you where dead when 700 mm Barage is out. Also me FAT Tank whit Balistick shield and Revolver :D
What was done to the Rail Gun was a travesty. It was nothing compared to the Nerf-pocolypse. Thankfully, most of those nerfs have been corrected, to an extent. My poor Erruptor still isn't what he used to be though. Fact- Bots are more fun than bugs, bugs are just more approachable. Break-Action shotgun has a place- with the guy who brought EATSs.
Have never heard of Helldivers before the hype, but it 2 gave me the Battlefront 2 feel so I fell in love. Never heard of 1 though, the game isn't as fun as 2, lemme tell ya
500 IS overrated, I will agree with you. *_BUT._* That statement on the Autocannon is reason enough to relocate you to a Freedom Camp. With bugs? Yeah no, really not needed over 6. With Automatons? That shit is REQUIRED over haz 6.
its an excellent all purpose weapon all the way into the deep difficulties. "oh but what about elites", call downs and teamwork, another team member can have the explosive power for elites but if no one takes anti-horde/mediums, your team is going to get over run. Even the grenade launcher is great for that purpose.
Badger: drops a video out of nowhere
Badger: the video is a banger
Badger: elaborates for almost an hour and a half
Badger: leaves
Thanks for uploading this on my Birthday, Mikari.
happy birthday
Happy birth friendo
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday bro
Happy Birthday day my guy/gal!
For da Record, 500kgs is just over 1100 Pounds. So yeah, that over 1000 pound bomb is SO lacking in Damage and Blast Radius for such a HUGE BLAST!
This is my favorite TheRussianBadger video, so far.
same here, longest i recall as well
Imo it's the one that explains pay day 2 getting choked slammed for money

"They dont know if I brought the ouchie grenades or the Oh baby thank you grenades" I'm all for this. XD
Badgur likes bugs more than bots...

It's like what Matt Patt from Game Theory used to say "We're not the heroes of the story, we're the villains."
you know its a sin to skip a badger ad

Tony (arrowhead) built this (helldivers 2) in a cave with a box of scraps (stingray game engine)
fun fact you can get the Democracy Protects armor in the normal Warbond, not specifically that armor but close and the same effect

1:06:36 Actually, while he now live full time in the US, Badger is Canadian… which also explains the gratuitous amount of War crimes in his videos 😂
Yessss! A fellow Spear enjoyer! I've been using it since week one
I loved the first helldivers i always viewed it as more serious but i was so happy it got a sequel
12:03 Makari my friend, I love how you didn’t even know at the time that you were going to say something that Badger himself would comment on later in the video once again lmao
42:35 oh wow you did it again
"You can never have a build that's entirely well-rounded."
Perhaps, but I can get close.
Liberator/Standard Breaker.
Senator.
Standard Grenades.
Spear. HMG Emplacement. Orbital Precision Strike. +free stratagem slot.
I can deal with lights, mediums, and heavies. There is nothing in any situation that I will ever not have an answer to. Things are low cooldown and I got a backup Spear if my OPS is on cooldown or if I see a heavy in the distance.
How dare you skip Badger's ad on Swamp Ass. Badger makes the most entertaining ads on the planet to give you something comfy or fresh to wear or something delicious.
I'm just saying, you should hear him out.
Makari is a masochist, she likes fighting robots.
I'm glad I woke up early for this
I'm awake and too late to watch this premiere from the beginning...
So how do you kill factory striders? Eagles? Orbitals? Turrets? A spray and pray with a heavy machine gun at their underbelly factory door?
Orbital laser stacked on nuke stacked on orbital railcannon while screaming and praying.
I like using the rail gun on unsafe mode to destroy the guns
Eagle Airstrike works well if you get it to line up properly, Orbital Precision Strike works great if you can get it towards the head, 500kg can work good, but is kinda inconsistent.
In terms of support weapons, Commando works amazingly, Autocannon can kill it with 6 shots to the underbelly, or 5 shots to the eye on its faceplate kills it incredibly efficiently.

Respawn pod
You can get armor with that 50/50 with the free warbond.
My ship had to be named Hammer of Dawn, no matter what.
the first helldivers you where able to call in stratagems inside the mech
1:22:22 Best thing I've heard all month. Peace Through Power
before the game came out, an Arma 3 TH-camr, Rubixraptor did a Helldivers mod for his group and it was awesome. This was my only knowledge of Helldivers before the game came out
I did play through helldivers 1, I heard about the development of helldivers 2
I expected so much and yet I still got impressed
I drop with Eagle Airstrike, Shield Backpack, Quasar Cannon, and typically the Autocannon turret.
My armor is the same as Badger's. I use impact grenades, the manual reload shotgun and revolver.

Lemme tell ya, badjur knows how to entertain
Question. Why skip their ads? maybe you could do a "Rate the ad read" thing?
Who do you think this is, Kip?!
I played helldivers when it first came out been a fan since the first faded into time
Games like lethal company and helldivers wher made by such small teems thay seem like thay woud be boring but thay are sum of the best games i have ever played
4:20 badger aint touching pd3 no way
3:41 i have actually played the first game
I remember lots of of accidentals happening because everyone had to stay on the same screen
20:50 Also is second that
1:30 Ultra BASED Rant!!!!
I hope they add the "Lumberer" mech from og Helldivers
I'm waiting for auto turret/drone grenades personally, it'd go with my Drone Master armor
For people that don't like the 500kg I understand but I am bringing it because I don't like messing around with tank enemies and that's what it's most effective at
Cyberstand will 100% be a city based map I guarantee that's gonna be the case
Love playing this game but I’m usually on my own with randoms every now and then with some friends but mainly alone kek

Killing floor has healing grenades
i was playing Helldivers 2 just a little bit ago, and i had the bug where mines went invisible every single time some landmines were deployed, annoying since there's that current major order to kill stuff with landmines, and so everyone's spamming them
Ranger in edf 6 has access to a healing grenade
bro i played hell divers 1 ever day long before the second game
My ship is the SES Harbinger of Judgement
I knew about Helldivers 1, I own the game, I just never played it or 2
You haven't watched pootis engage extreme...WATCH IT OR ELSE IMA PUTTYE ALGORITHM AGAINST YOU
She already has...
I played Helldivers years before the 2nd was even announced. Talk about an upgrade though!
I think I'm gonna start pronouncing quasar as KAY-sar from now on
Im wonder if we'll get a 3 way war at some point basically bugs v robots v us
that flamethrower comment and chargers unfortunately aged badly now. Thanks Arrowhead.

Its kinda sad that the absolute worst part of Helldivers is that its published by Sony.
Friendly fire that was in Fortnite back in the day.
Have never heard of Helldivers before the hype, but it 2 gave me the Battlefront 2 feel so I fell in love.
Never heard of 1 though, the game isn't as fun as 2, lemme tell ya
I like my video games the way I hate my politicians, because they're progressive.
