Yeah before the buff I tried it from time to time, and honestly I thought they would add one more rocket to the barrage for a buff but this feels a lot better. I end up taking this instead of anti tanks for bug maps and sometimes bots but I have to be careful of gunships :(. Thanks for commenting wooloob6275!
I mean it is possible to kill it in 1 rocket shot as you saw, think you probably could get the technique down, would be important to learn which direction the rockets are launched at though...don't lose hope Myder_Dragon! It's annoying that they could need up to all 3, but a bit of finesse and we could create a technique for one shotting!
It's also important to know that if you want to hit a moving target, like running charger, you should throw the stratagem ball where the charger is, not where the charger will be once the rockets hit. The rockets will not auto track your inteded target if you throw the stratagem too far away, just like the orbital railgun.
@@uspavacka Great Tip! Thanks for adding that...I wonder if that's how you can one shot chargers with the rocket pods, by aiming it at the ground where their head will be 🤔?
@@twiltzofficialgaming Doubt it, the rockets are not concentrated to a point, they hit in 3 strikes of 2 rockets, 6 rockets in total, each strike further along eagles path, the strike "grid" is aproximately 2 meters wide and 6 meters long (the grid size is just a guess from what I've seen in the game)
@@uspavacka hmm I was certain the rockets hit around the same area for all 3 strikes (6 total rocket strikes) and as the chargers can get killed with 1 rocket headshot sometimes 2, was thinking the pods could also do the same.. Thanks for the detailed info though, I'll have to keep these in mind!
Thanks for the tips! ive always loved them for bots, but now ill have to try rocket pods on bugs, maybe with strafing run, orbital gatling, or precision strike to see what combinations feel best. cheers!
Yes! That's exactly what we divers love to hear! Go spread some democracy soldier 🪖💪. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts agedgouda8809! Let me know what your favorite combo is after you try it all out! Orbital barrage is my go to combo.
On bug front its underwhelming to put it gently. It can "soften up" titans and chargers but finishing either of them with other stratagems or gunfire is pain in the ass good luck hitting titan's back from ground level lol.
Hahaha I mean I see where you are coming from Steir12, but as I showed in the video it's very possible to kill titans with only the rocket pods, it just takes some practice getting used to their trajectory.. Though I totally agree that killing them with gunfire and stratagems can be a pain in the ass, in that case I may recommend the flame thrower as I heard that the DOT had randomly increased this patch against chargers and behemoths! Lmk if this helped!
Big disagree, you can easily finish a titan off w/ scorcher or dominator, medium pen support weapons or lighter stratagems. Having 3 of these for bile titans makes it easily better than the 500 or even the OPS.
For bots I’d put it in A or even S for being able to 1 shot hulks towers and tanks. For bugs I’d give it a C tier, as any single target that warrants a stratagem (chargers and titans) take multiple strikes to kill. It’s not bad, but there are other stratagems that do it’s job better, at least for bugs. I would really like to see it buffed to do more damage so it can one shot chargers, if they did that I’d probably put it in A tier. Also great guild, short and to the point!
Oh? That's a very detailed and well thought out response.. better in bots.. I can agree with that, definitely has more purpose there. Though your right on not being able to one shot with bugs, if you are already going to take a orbital Gatling or some wave clearing option, opting for the rocket pods in addition to that (for a initiating stratagem) should prove to have increased use and potential.. I feel like c tier may be a bit low to be honest, though I agree on its own, on bug maps, it could be a C tier, I guess it depends on the surrounding stratagems, but I would rank it B+ or so adding to the quick refresh and objective clearing capabilities of the rocket pods.. maybe I'm being a bit too generous though, your argument is very sound... Thanks for sharing, glad you brought this up for discussion sedyctive_fishstick8961!!! Quality comment 👍
Nice video. Very dense info given concisely. Ill have to give yhem another go, im just always underwhelmed becuase they dont perform on bug mussions -- feel like i always need somethibg else to confirm kills, so almost like it takes a slot whre i could run stun grenades and EATs or spear. Sounds fantastic on automatons thi (not that ill ever play automatons)
Haha yes it's a bit difficult but it can be decent on bug maps though it's more for combos other than killing bile titans. Like for chargers it can kill them quickly if you use the majority of all of your rockets but if your already taking a orbital Gatling or some other wave clear option, using these both against tanks after stripping armor is much more efficient! Hope this helps, and thanks for your kind words matthewdeklerk3457!
The _Rocket Pods_ is decent. I think it can't kill *Bile Titan* alone, so you might need to soften their armor. In which, bringing _Orbital Gatling_ or _Strafing Run_ might do the work as the Rocket Pods going to be killing blow instead. 🤔
No in the video I proved that you can 2 shot bile titans after the upgrade, just be wary that if your shots hit different body parts the damage will not stack... So it's important to hit the same spot when using the rocket pods for kills! But you are very right LilyBeta in regards to getting finishing blows with the orbital Gatling and strafing run in conjunction with rocket pods would decimate enemies quickly and very efficiently!!! Thanks for responding!! Look forward to hearing more from you if you try this out yourself!
Aye thank you maccaquejr! Will be making more quality guides in the future, if you end up subbing or seeing them lmk your thoughts on those videos as well, feedback is important afterall 👍.
I was using the 110 rockets before the patch basically every mission. After the patch it really confused me. It felt like i was dumping water on chargers instead of explosives.
Yeah I used them prior to the buff as well off and on, and it had more of a place opening the shell for easy access damage rather than an actual kill potential.. but after the Buff and strengthened chargers it's still a bit difficult, though throwing knife kills is how I clean up chargers for now! Glad to hear some of the community were using non meta stratagems and not just dogpiling the same op strats over and over again..
Hmm never thought of it that way but I can see why you say that. It's nice it has really good tracking though, unlike the eagle airstrikes.. but definitely fair point!
@@moritzrossbroich I like rocket pods for bug maps usually I replace it for my quasar/Eat/Recoiless and opt for Rocket Pods instead. Deping on situation I use it once or twice on chargers (until their shell is cracked) and laser fleshy parts with whatever else I have, or use it on objectives I can't spend alot of time on, like shrieker nests, spore blooms, bug holes as a last resort.. better yet if there's a bunch of chargers I'll combo a rocket with a orbital or eagle barrage/strafing run and it usually kills them in < 30 secs if aimed correctly. If you time the uses correctly it will always be up when you need it and most of the time just chunking enemies is good enough setup for a kill, and with multiple teammates nearby the rockets are a "safer" option to use when teamfire is possible.. great question! I love answering these types of questions so feel free to ask them again whenever you get curious about something. Thank you moritzrossbroich!!!!
@@twiltzofficialgaming Thanks for replying also. I really didn't consider the friendly fire aspect because I mainly play solo. I see how the rocket pods can be the better alternative with a lot of friendlies around. In that regard it is almost like a slightly weaker railcannon strike when it comes to avoiding blue on blue. I like how they buffes a lot of guns and stratagems so now you can use more and actually habe a discussion about what different people bring to their dives
@@moritzrossbroich Not a problem, I enjoy helping out where I can! Oh you're a solo diver huh? What difficulty do you main? Yeah I'm really happy with the direction helldivers 2 is heading, I always knew they would want to have a large stratagem pool that could be interchanged by the divers preference, it was just tough for the beginning half of the game where it was constant nerfs, glad they are listening to the community and making the game more fun and variable.
I don’t like them now. Pre “buff” I had so many cases of one shotting bike titans with them. I never had problems with accuracy for them. I also used them a ton for destroying turrets with no issues. Now they feel pisspoor weak and kinda poopoo tier.
Oh I've been hearing from a couple people that it could 1 shot bile titans I had no idea..I've tried it so many times in the past but I never got lucky I guess... They still 1 shot turrets, but i feel like they do a lot more anti tank damage from before but maybe that's just me? Poopoo tier is tuff :( thanks for sharing though RiceCubeTech!
Dope video but I still think the rocket pods need a bigger buff to make them worth taking over the airstrike which does a better job without the auto targeting.
Thank you and fair enough! I'm just glad that it's more usable now than it was before. Glad to add different stratagems to my kit to make each game fresh and new!
Interesting.. it can definitely one shot hulks as I proved in the video... But I'm pretty sure it also 1 shots tanks am I wrong? I know it one shots shredder tanks for sure, but maybe not annihilator tanks? Thank you for bringing this up, hope we can discuss this a bit more Danthepanman1!!!
