As a rookie I once told a Trailblazer I had saved him from a bot. He told me to turn around and see the half ton of scap he'd taken out before it could see me. Made me the helldiver I am today
Absolute credit to you, Loadout in the thumbnail, didn't have to make me sift through a 30 min video to find the build. Watched the whole thing really good content, keep it up!
Love these kinds of videos. Simple enough load out that people can get into. Got the game plan. Got the lore which is super cool. And it’s another bit build for me to use outside of my tank build and the combat medic build I usually play with.
I tried this build, and came up with (what I perceive as) an improvement: change the Comando for Eagle Strafing Run. The problem I had was that whenever I had to use the Comando (I see a hulk, tank or fabricator at a distance), I would have to call the Comando, get it, take aim, shoot, then get my AMR back. This often took about 30 seconds, which could mean another teammate already had the time to destroy the target in the first place. It also made me "stuck" to that position, because I would have to give up my AMR if I were to simply leave immediately. The solution I found was changing it to the Eagle Strafing Run. This allows me to support my team against patrols, it deals good damage against heavy enemies, AND it destroys fabricators. It has less range, sure, but you can throw the stratagem towards the fabricator, and the strafing run will go forward some 30 meters and reach the fabricator. The Comando is superior in situations like defending the extraction point (because you can call many of them and use as the need arises), but I found the Eagle Strafing Run is better suited for when you are on the move, and with this build you are constantly on the move. Besides that, I loved the build. Fun and fast, versatile, and a great addition to a team that is already packing a punch, but might get bogged down by battle and forget the objectives. You will finish the match with half the kills of your fellow Helldivers, but having done most of the objectives yourself, and in a fraction of the time it would take them to do them.
"Extensive research has shown that the Automations are in fact made of material." If I can't carry the Recoiless Rifle all the time, I'll atleast carry a Jump pack and a Anti Material Rifle.
6:33 Counter point: I once heard from the Ministry of Truth that the bots are made of Socialism, there was no mention of Material. So it appears that the Anti-Material rifle may be better described as an Anti-Socialism rifle, which is much more Democratic.
to expand on this, i feel that the commando isn't useful often enough. you have the amr, thermites, and the precision strike for hulks and tanks. the commando is nice for turret towers and fabricators, but i think the value the sentry brings is far greater. it can distract enemies, allowing you to snipe high value targets, make getaways, and help you clear the smaller guys that semi auto snipers just aren't suitable for. i understand that sentries are typically used for defense, but due to the machine gun's low cooldown you can use it whenever you need, and aren't held down trying to get the most use out of it you can.
I would also make a case for the EMS mortar as it makes for a great distraction tool as well as a lockdown tool without running much risk of fratricide. Great for pulling patrols for getaways or pushing objectives.

this style of content is awesome keep it up!
This video has turned me from a heavy armor wearing sentry loving defense diver into a trailblazer just because of the lore and roleplaying aspects

Came for the loadout, stayed for the lore.
Our scouts are tough. They survived 13 black crusa...I mean 13 battles of Draupnir!

Awesome video. I'd watch 20 more. Thanks
I love these. You should make a Viper Commando load out.
Light Gunner and Fortified Commando builds next?
Las dagger is honestly underrated for stealth

I feel like this build really lacks horde clearing, I'd replace the commando with the machine gun sentry.
