Updated Best Terminid Loadouts for Helldivers 2 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Welcome back, lady and gentlemen. Today
- 0:01we have massive updates for all my bug
- 0:03builds because between the new Skitzo
- 0:04speed bloom, the TCS 2.0 already
- 0:07failing, and some pretty massive balance
- 0:09changes, we've got a lot to break down
- 0:10and I'll be going over every subfaction,
- 0:12but my builds aren't just tested for the
- 0:14hardest difficulty. They're there to
- 0:16push solo and in squads to the highest
- 0:18kills possible against every single one.
- 0:21So, like usual, all my builds are always
- 0:22updated in my Discord first, so
- 0:24subscribe and join to keep up to date
- 0:25with everything that I'm doing. But for
- 0:27now, we're lighting this off with the
- 0:28best all-around bug build I'm about to
- 0:30bugs. This is made just to be able to
- 0:32drop in without thinking, do the most
- 0:34blasting in solo, hard carry any squad
- 0:36while getting the most kills possible in
- 0:38any spawn seed on any strain without
- 0:40having to care what they throw at you.
- 0:42So, the star of the show is going to be
- 0:44the Stalwart. This is the most democracy
- 0:46per second in the game that you can
- 0:47throw down range and it literally just
- 0:49lets you melt every patrol, every bug
- 0:51breach, and you also really don't even
- 0:53have to worry about aiming if you land
- 0:55on a Biosphere seed. It's just volume of
- 0:57fire and shooting tons of shots is tons
- 0:58of fun, and with the new True Grit armor
- 1:00passive, reloading has never felt
- 1:02smoother, so you can just keep blasting
- 1:04forever. And when you combine the
- 1:05Stalwart with the Scorcher, it's going
- 1:07to let you run through every enemy they
- 1:08have. Swapping between both of them hard
- 1:10counters literally everything that they
- 1:12can throw at you. The Scorcher can kill
- 1:14a Bio Titan in like two and a half
- 1:15magazines to the chest. It absolutely
- 1:18eviscerates Biospheres, and on top of
- 1:19that, you can also take down Shrieker
- 1:21Lairs and Spore Towers across the map
- 1:23with it. And even though they stealth
- 1:25nerfed the Chargers a couple patches ago
- 1:26to remove that rear up animation when
- 1:28they're slowing down, your back shots
- 1:30are still the strongest with the
- 1:31Scorcher, and you can still blow them
- 1:33out. The only problem with these weapons
- 1:34is they eat a ton of ammo, so we also
- 1:36need to lock in the supply backpack with
- 1:38this setup. Having almost infinite
- 1:40resources lets you really run through
- 1:42everything without a care in the world,
- 1:43and it feels good to use it at the same
- 1:45time. But if you don't have the
- 1:46Scorcher, the Purifier is also a solid
- 1:48swap, and the crossbow is always a safe
- 1:50lock-in that will get the same job done
- 1:52that we needed it to, but it won't put
- 1:53as much DPS out in the time that we need
- 1:55like the Scorcher can. For our armor,
- 1:57it's really just what you feel like you
- 1:58need. If you're leaning more into the
- 2:00primary, take siege ready for the reload
- 2:01speed. But, if you're blasting more of
- 2:03your support weapon, then take true grit
- 2:05for that support weapon reload speed
- 2:06because it just feels so good. Even if
- 2:09you take in the regular machine gun or
- 2:10the HMG with this, it it feels so
- 2:12activated to just dumpster fire
- 2:15everything in front of you that it's
- 2:16just it it's way more fun
- 2:18when you don't actually have to worry
- 2:20about reloading. Now, if you do feel
- 2:21like you need more grenades, the sapper
- 2:23armor or engineering kit passives end up
- 2:25giving you a massive power spike. This
- 2:26is something I talked about in my last
- 2:27illuminate build guide, but plus two
- 2:29grenades is a massive amount of
- 2:33on-demand power that really lets you
- 2:34control the flow of the game. But, it
- 2:35really just depends what you feel like
- 2:37you need, and the grenade slots a lot of
- 2:38the same. Gas is the best horde control
- 2:40in the game, and it will rot out
- 2:41anything the size of a hive guard out
- 2:43and under. Plus, it will deny an area,
- 2:45confusing and blinding any enemies that
- 2:46touch the cloud for 5 seconds on the
- 2:49debuff, but the grenade itself lasts 15
- 2:51seconds. This gives you tons of time to
- 2:53think and breathe while being able to
- 2:54deny massive areas or turn chokes into
- 2:56kill boxes. But, if you feel like you
- 2:57need anti-tank in this slot, the
- 2:59Juggernaut grenades are basically
- 3:01perfect. This is personally what I
- 3:02prefer using here, and the snap
- 3:04anti-tank removal they provide is just
- 3:05insanely fun. You can throw them super
- 3:07far, and it lets you run something that
- 3:09isn't the ultimate in your sidearm slot,
- 3:11which I really appreciate. So, these
- 3:13grenades are one of the best lock-ins it
- 3:16overall for the bugs. Now, for our best
- 3:18sidearms, if you took gas, I think
- 3:20locking in the ultimate just perfectly
- 3:21rounds out the entire build. That is
- 3:23probably the strongest variant of it,
- 3:25and it just lets you snap one-shot bio
- 3:27titans and pailers and even bio dragons.
- 3:29The tech is just to swap weapons to pull
- 3:30it out. You get amazing distance and the
- 3:32perfect arc. So, once you get used to
- 3:33shooting it, you can easily pinpoint
- 3:35kill anything you need to off of the
- 3:37screen. But, if you do take the
- 3:38anti-tank grenade, having the crisper
- 3:40for area denial or even the bolt pistol
- 3:41is just ridiculously fun. It's an
- 3:43amazing sidearm that lets you blitz down
- 3:45everything that you need. I think
- 3:46building your weapon combos out like
- 3:47this really makes it so you don't even
- 3:49need your other stratagems, and they
- 3:50just become nice bonuses to have on
- 3:52demand. And that's why I think having
- 3:53gas strike to drop on a breach works out
- 3:55really well. You kind of just end up
- 3:57shooting fish in a barrel at that point
- 3:58and it makes the game super easy. But if
- 4:00you don't really feel like you need the
- 4:01area to dial then Gatling barrage is
- 4:02great for just killing everything and it
- 4:03also has a super low cool down so you
- 4:05get the same issue effect but with some
- 4:06anti-tank added on to it and it just
- 4:08helps soften everything up. In the other
- 4:10strat slot you can kind of just pick
- 4:11whatever eagle I have listed here and
- 4:13you will end up coming out okay. I think
- 4:14the eagle may palm the buff version is
- 4:16just crazy for horde clear. I don't
- 4:17really think you need it for regular
- 4:18bugs. I think strafe is a great in
- 4:20between of horde clear and anti-tank
- 4:22because it helps soften stuff up but 500
- 4:24kg is going to be everything that you
- 4:27really need. It's amazing for clearing
- 4:29up bug nests especially that medium nest
- 4:30so you just one good throw and the
- 4:32thing's completely gone. It's amazing
- 4:34for taking out large bug holes and if
- 4:36per chance there's a bio titan surge and
- 4:38a little too many pop up at the same
- 4:39time being able to snap them off the
- 4:41screen with the 500 kg just feels really
- 4:43good and the aura farm with it's
- 4:44amazing. I also think this lot's super
- 4:46flexible so if you're cave diving or if
- 4:47you need to go take out a mega base the
- 4:49emancipator exosuit just completely mogs
- 4:51the entire thing. It lets you solo it
- 4:53without even thinking. It's just such a
- 4:54massive power spike and I think that's
- 4:56one of the most impactful stratagems
- 4:57that you could possibly bring in if you
- 4:59are looking to like solo certain
- 5:01objectives. I'm about the bugs this has
- 5:02been my go-to bug build to just shoot as
- 5:04much as possible and have the most fun
- 5:07playing the game my way for a very long
- 5:09time but sometimes you do need to hard
- 5:10counter specific sub faction if they're
- 5:12giving you a little extra trouble and
- 5:13the new skizzo slayer gloom build
- 5:15completely trivializes them. There are
- 5:17two key mechanics you need to keep in
- 5:19mind when you're fighting the gloom
- 5:20strain and the first one is that the red
- 5:21mist buffs them into like turbo speed
- 5:23but if you kill them with status effects
- 5:25like fire or gas they don't spawn that
- 5:27red mist and the absolute worst part of
- 5:29this sub faction is the spore titan's
- 5:31ragdoll breath. They animation match
- 5:33with the regular bio titan not this one.
- 5:34This thing will ragdoll you from super
- 5:36far away like through mountains
- 5:37sometimes. It's absolutely ridiculous
- 5:39but
- 5:40you can completely counter it with the
- 5:41rock solid armor so that's going to be
- 5:43our only pick for this entire sub
- 5:45faction. I'm serious. This is the most
- 5:46frustrating part of it. Countering the
- 5:48turbo ragdoll breath that goes through
- 5:50walls makes it feel infinitely better to
- 5:53play. It's the only armor that I run on
- 5:55the subfaction, and I also usually lock
- 5:57in the heavy variant because I just
- 5:58think it looks cool. If you just don't
- 6:00like wearing heavy armor, light or
- 6:01medium is just fine. We are only after
- 6:03the passive here. Now, when it comes to
- 6:05our weapons, the Recoils Rifle snaps the
- 6:06bio titans off the map if you hit them
- 6:08in the head in just one shot. They also
- 6:10have more head health than normal, so
- 6:12something like an E's or a Quasar won't
- 6:14one shot them in the head. And I think
- 6:15this is the best overall weapon in the
- 6:17game for dealing with them, but I also
- 6:18just love using the Cremator because the
- 6:20heavy flamer is just insanely cool. But,
- 6:22combining the Recoils Rifle with the
- 6:24Torture lets you deal with any large
- 6:25threats long before they get to you, and
- 6:27any of the Gloom Hunters, Warriors, and
- 6:28Scavengers get absolutely roasted by the
- 6:30Torture. One of the main important
- 6:32things about this is that you can
- 6:33actually lean up out of a tank or
- 6:35something or out of a car, and you won't
- 6:37light it on fire as easily with the
- 6:39Torture as you would with like a regular
- 6:40flamethrower because those are held
- 6:41underhand, and this is held overhand,
- 6:43and that makes a massive difference.
- 6:44It's also important again to make sure
- 6:46they die to some sort of status effect
- 6:48so they don't spawn the red vest because
- 6:49if you don't engage with that mechanic
- 6:51at all, they're really not that more
- 6:53dangerous than regular bugs. They
- 6:54actually feel weaker. And I really do
- 6:56think that if you at least have a duo
- 6:58running the tank,
- 6:59completely decimates this faction. The
- 7:02breaches for these guys can really pop
- 7:03off, especially if you get one inside of
- 7:05a mega base. And being able to have such
- 7:06an overwhelming amount of power
- 7:08destroying them as they come pouring out
- 7:09just feels really good. One thing I've
- 7:11been trying to get my community to do
- 7:12more and more over time is just really
- 7:14get used to even
- 7:15having random people start participating
- 7:17and just duoing things. Do team loading,
- 7:20just getting in the tank, just ride or
- 7:22die together in the FRV. It's way more
- 7:24fun when you play with somebody else. If
- 7:25you don't have a duo, I think you can
- 7:26also run the supply FRV, but this
- 7:28update, it's taunting enemies.
- 7:31Apparently, that's not intended, but
- 7:33we'll end up seeing about that over
- 7:34time, I guess. They didn't fix it yet,
- 7:36so
- 7:37that might just be the future of FRVs. I
- 7:39think if you're soloing the this it it
- 7:41might just be better to take the mech
- 7:42for the megabase. I think something like
- 7:44orbital gas strike also just have an
- 7:46extra drop onto a breach works here, but
- 7:48for our last two strategem slots, the
- 7:49120 mm barrage matches the same cooldown
- 7:52as every bug breach, and it got turbo
- 7:55buffed. For some reason, an S-tier
- 7:56strategem was made double S-tier, so
- 7:59uh it'll delete all the large lads
- 8:00coming out of any breach, and anything
- 8:02left will be so weak that it won't be
- 8:04able to stand up to much. Combining this
- 8:06with eagle napalm being as buffed as it
- 8:08is, the fire will rot down a massive
- 8:10areas of skizzo bugs that even when they
- 8:12get the red mist buff, if the 120 kills
- 8:13them, it's really just not going to
- 8:14matter.
- 8:15Casting both of these at the same time
- 8:17is just basically that area is
- 8:19completely gone, and the eagle napalm,
- 8:21in my opinion, is substantially better
- 8:23than orbital napalm barrage now because
- 8:25you get three casts of exactly where you
- 8:28want it, and you can space it out
- 8:30properly to deal with whatever you need
- 8:31it to. And rounding this build out, I
- 8:33think if you run the bolt pistol or
- 8:34talon, it'll probably get the most
- 8:35value. You're kind of just looking to
- 8:37get anything off of you that does slip
- 8:38by. And in our grenade slot, the gas
- 8:40grenades absolutely get the most value
- 8:42on this subfaction specifically.
- 8:44Combined with the torture, if you're
- 8:45igniting everything, you get double rot
- 8:47damage, and you just start melting
- 8:49everything insanely fast. But arc
- 8:50grenades can be a really fun swap in
- 8:51this slot. Just make sure that if it
- 8:53bounces towards you, you lay down
- 8:54because it'll zap everything above you,
- 8:56and not you because you count as
- 8:58grounded, so it's just a fun extra tech.
- 8:59Moving on to our predator strain build,
- 9:01these guys are very fast and do a ton of
- 9:03damage, so I think armor-wise you do
- 9:05want to lock in something with more
- 9:06damage reduction. Everyone starts with
- 9:08medium padded, and I think this is
- 9:10always the safest all around pick if you
- 9:12don't really know what to lock in. And I
- 9:13personally prefer heavy desert stormer
- 9:15armor because it looks cool, and you end
- 9:18up getting the same raw damage reduction
- 9:20as the medium padded, but you also get
- 9:22acid and fire reductions, so bile titans
- 9:25and dragons end up doing way less damage
- 9:26to you. For our main weapons, the
- 9:28trident is going to decimate literally
- 9:30everything to the point that sometimes
- 9:31it feels a little too easy. Even on hot
- 9:33planets, I found it kind of difficult to
- 9:35overheat the heat sink if I was just
- 9:36pacing my shots. And even if I did, you
- 9:39can just reload it super fast, so it's
- 9:40really not a big deal. The recoil bug is
- 9:42also still a thing as of me making this
- 9:44video, but if you remove the angled
- 9:45foregrip, it reduces that drastically,
- 9:47and full ADSing also helps reduce it
- 9:49somewhat, but even then, like even with
- 9:52the recoil, it's you're still smoking
- 9:53everything. With this, I usually do grab
- 9:55the ultimatum just to be able to snap
- 9:57any annoying impalers or bio titans off
- 9:59the map, but I personally prefer using
- 10:01the grenade pistol to close bug holes
- 10:02because it just helps round the entire
- 10:04build out. I also almost always run
- 10:06double sentry on predator strain. I just
- 10:09think it's really fun to run machine gun
- 10:10and gatling sentry having my back the
- 10:11entire time. Always remember the
- 10:13triangle is the strongest shape. You
- 10:14should throw both of your sentries like
- 10:16left and right in front of you, and then
- 10:18you stand behind them. But I think that
- 10:20if you run gas strike here instead
- 10:21because you feel like you need it,
- 10:22that's perfectly fine. It's amazing for
- 10:23shutting down bug breaches. I also used
- 10:25to love taking in the epoch or quasar
- 10:27cannon on this sub faction, but now I've
- 10:28just been locking the melted gun in. It
- 10:30really is one of those I can just snap
- 10:31chargers off the screen, and it's super
- 10:32easy to take everything else down they
- 10:34have with it, too. Uh but if you don't
- 10:36like having to get up close and personal
- 10:37with everything because it is like two
- 10:39shots to kill a bio titan in the head on
- 10:40average. You can do it in one, but you
- 10:42have to get like a really good angle on
- 10:43it. I I think that the epoch here is
- 10:46also just like ridiculously good. I love
- 10:47the epoch for taking on the bugs. I
- 10:49think it's ridiculously fun to use. So,
- 10:51I think either weapon in this slot is
- 10:52going to do an insane amount of work.
- 10:54And finally, the last slot goes to guard
- 10:56dog rover. Having the laser dog with the
- 10:58trident force multiply all the damage,
- 11:00she just keeps slaughtering endless
- 11:01waves of hunters and stalkers as they
- 11:03kept rolling in on me. Just felt like it
- 11:05got way too much value not to run. Also,
- 11:07if you do feel like you need the extra
- 11:09supplies and all the extra grenades and
- 11:10and stuff and stems, uh then just
- 11:12running the supply backpack is perfectly
- 11:14fine as well. One sleeper pick I
- 11:15actually want to talk about before
- 11:17moving on is the shield grenade on the
- 11:19predator strain is like surprisingly
- 11:21fun. You give up the ability to close
- 11:23bug holes, but the hunter leap doesn't
- 11:25do damage to you, and the stalkers have
- 11:26a lot of trouble dealing damage to you
- 11:28inside of the bubble, so it's just a fun
- 11:30thing to switch up with sometimes. I
- 11:31think one thing that I found interesting
- 11:33after playing the Gloom Strains was the
- 11:34Predator Strains was just like
- 11:36infinitely easier than it used to be. I
- 11:38think that it kind of took their
- 11:39identity away because of just how fast
- 11:41the Gloom Strain really is. If they're
- 11:42faster than the Predator Strains, so I
- 11:44think they probably need some more
- 11:45invisible enemies, but
- 11:47either way, the last strain we have to
- 11:49talk about is Rupture. And I'm going to
- 11:51be 200% real here, this subfaction is
- 11:54ass to play against. I don't think I've
- 11:55ever talked to anybody that's been
- 11:57excited to go play Rupture Strain. So
- 11:58we're locking in the most fun build and
- 12:01bringing it back, disposables, where
- 12:02you're just as disposable as your
- 12:04equipment. This is really just about
- 12:06making the most out of your time and
- 12:08just trying to have as much fun as
- 12:09possible playing against them. And to
- 12:11counter their faction mechanic, which
- 12:12you need to use an explosive to get them
- 12:14to unburrow from the ground, so the
- 12:15crossbow is literally the perfect weapon
- 12:17for doing that as a primary. It's
- 12:19honestly just the best all-around bug
- 12:20weapon. And pairing this with the Talon
- 12:22gives you the perfect quick-draw sidearm
- 12:23to deal with the armor value three
- 12:24warriors. Their heads and our front of
- 12:27their arms are unarmored compared to
- 12:29regular warriors, so having a
- 12:30penetration three weapon to be able to
- 12:31deal with them feels really good. I also
- 12:33think the bolt pistol is going to just
- 12:34be absolutely god-tier against them. I
- 12:37haven't gotten to try the bolt pistol
- 12:38against them because they haven't been
- 12:40on the map since we've gotten it, but it
- 12:41does have an explosion on shot, and I
- 12:44think it's obvious that it'll just
- 12:45completely obliterate them. So either
- 12:47sidearm here I think is a super safe
- 12:48lock-in. You'll just be able to blow
- 12:49them out. After that, I think taking a
- 12:52grenade for anti-tank or horde clear is
- 12:53honestly your choice. Jiggle low is the
- 12:55most fun, so that's all I lock versus
- 12:57this subfaction. Now, honestly, the
- 12:59meltaminds might have some pretty silly
- 13:01interactions with the burrowing, so
- 13:03probably try those. That's probably
- 13:05really fun. And for armor, heavy desert
- 13:07stormer always. That's like going to get
- 13:09the most value possible. I think even if
- 13:11you wear the medium here, it'll be fine,
- 13:12but they when the little bio spewers pop
- 13:14out of the ground, big bio spewers start
- 13:16spamming acid on you,
- 13:18it does quite a bit of damage, and
- 13:20reducing that as much as possible is
- 13:21really, really important. Now, as for
- 13:22our stratagem, we are going full
- 13:24disposable. Expendable napalm what you
- 13:26have horde clear that you need just by
- 13:27itself. And as you keep calling in more
- 13:29disposables, you'll just be littering
- 13:30the battlefield with all your junk.
- 13:32And then you can just keep cycling
- 13:34through everything that you need. Taking
- 13:36the leveler or missile silo depending on
- 13:37the vibe is all you really need for like
- 13:39massive amounts of anti-tank
- 13:42and horde clear. I was also using eights
- 13:44with this build for a really long time,
- 13:45but using the belt-fed grenade launcher
- 13:47as a disposable that you just abandon
- 13:49when you're done with it makes it way
- 13:50more fun to use when you don't really
- 13:52have to think about its ammo economy. Uh
- 13:54it also pops them out of the ground.
- 13:55It's just ridiculously good. Like you
- 13:56could just drop one and blow an entire
- 13:58breach out with it. And of course, the
- 13:59hellbomb backpack is just the run-in or
- 14:01a farm snap the entire screen and win.
- 14:04We can blitz rupture strain off of the
- 14:06map with this loadout and I don't see
- 14:08them improving this subfaction any way,
- 14:10shape, or form, or capacity. And when I
- 14:12don't like playing against something,
- 14:13but I'm forced to, I just try to make it
- 14:15as fun as possible. And this is my
- 14:17favorite loadout in the entire game. The
- 14:18disposables goes back a long ways, and I
- 14:20know that everybody uh in my community
- 14:22that plays it whenever we run a game of
- 14:24this just has amount of fun. Everybody's
- 14:26just laughing the entire time. So, I
- 14:28hope that that helped you enjoy the
- 14:29rupture strain. Now, finally, we do have
- 14:31one last thing to talk about, and that's
- 14:33monster hunting. In the last bug build
- 14:35guide, I said we wouldn't have to go
- 14:36back to a hive world that were at least
- 14:37I didn't think we were going to have to.
- 14:39And then the next day, they sent us to
- 14:41what? So, that was
- 14:43super sick. Anyways, uh we talked a
- 14:45little earlier about how the emancipator
- 14:47exosuit hard counters megadeths,
- 14:48megabases, caves, and stuff like that. I
- 14:50think it's an auto walk of your own a
- 14:52hive world because it absolutely
- 14:53decimates
- 14:55all of the cave systems. And once you
- 14:57break the plate off of a hive lord, it
- 14:59rips its health to pieces. But if you do
- 15:00run this full build on the hive world,
- 15:02you won't need to use it for the hive
- 15:03lord specifically. It's just a nice
- 15:05backup to have. And if you just want to
- 15:06like power spike blow its health out, it
- 15:08just feels really good to use. I also
- 15:10really like running dash strike and
- 15:11rocket sentry or some kind of mass horde
- 15:13removal just to deal with whatever's
- 15:14coming out of bug breaches. But if you
- 15:15feel like you have that under control,
- 15:17then the rocket sentry is awesome for
- 15:18that, too. But our two main strat slots
- 15:20are very, very important if we're
- 15:22fighting a hive lord at all, and
- 15:23especially if we are on a hive world.
- 15:25The spear is going to be one, amazing
- 15:27for taking out bile dragons, but the
- 15:29most important thing that it does is it
- 15:31snaps a hive lord's armor plate off in
- 15:3313 shots. So, if four people run this,
- 15:36you can basically do this in one
- 15:38inflatable tube man phase if you get
- 15:40lucky, and if you don't get lucky,
- 15:42you're probably going to do it in two.
- 15:44Then after the plate's broken, you swap
- 15:45to the auto cannon, and when you're
- 15:47blasting into the hive lord because you
- 15:49can see the visceral decimation from the
- 15:51flat grounds of all of its guts just
- 15:54flying out. It's basically just one good
- 15:56flat backpack to drop it if all the
- 15:58shots blow up into it properly. So, if
- 16:00you do have to solo the hive lord for
- 16:02your team, you can very easily do it
- 16:04with between these two strats. I do know
- 16:05there is other ways you can do this with
- 16:07like galling broadsides and shraves. My
- 16:09shrave kept crashing into the hive lord
- 16:11and going on cool down, so that's what
- 16:12made me crash out and stop using it, but
- 16:14the reason I like this so much is
- 16:15because it's extremely consistent and
- 16:17very reliable when he's spam running
- 16:19away. Like if you've ever fought a hive
- 16:21lord, he's running away the majority of
- 16:22the time, popping up in the middle of
- 16:24nowhere, and this build lets you kill
- 16:26him even though he's completely like
- 16:28running away from you across the map.
- 16:30You don't have to play on the hive
- 16:31lord's terms, you're playing on your
- 16:32terms where you want to be. I think also
- 16:34with the new team load mechanics, you
- 16:36could very easily do a snap a hive lord
- 16:38very, very quickly. One big thing to
- 16:41notice, hive lord speed was made 100%
- 16:43acid with the mech update and the
- 16:45introduction of like the sport trainer
- 16:46or whatever, so heavy desert armor will
- 16:48keep you alive through the speeds very
- 16:49reliably. I think if you're just cave
- 16:51diving on a hive world, this loadout
- 16:52still probably holds up the best. But,
- 16:54if we're talking about taking down bile
- 16:55dragons specifically, I already talked
- 16:58about using the spear to take them down,
- 16:59it's very consistent, it's very good.
- 17:01But, the missile silo is the coolest way
- 17:02to do it. You can spin the missile with
- 17:04a little bit of practice, little flick
- 17:05of the wrist, and then pop. You're going
- 17:07to look cool, everybody's going to be
- 17:08like, "What the hell just happened?" and
- 17:10it looks awesome every single time. I
- 17:12also really don't like orbital railgun
- 17:14strike for this because for me it was
- 17:15prioritizing alpha commanders over the
- 17:17bio dragons and just zooming off in the
- 17:19middle of nowhere and not doing what I
- 17:20needed it to.
- 17:22And whenever something inconsistently
- 17:23doesn't do what I needed it to, I don't
- 17:25like using it that much. So, I'll just
- 17:28stick to the rule of cool and take him
- 17:29down with the missile silo. Now, finally
- 17:31we have to talk about boosters. Not too
- 17:32much has changed here. Vitality is still
- 17:34hits very important break points for
- 17:36keeping you alive and the game is kind
- 17:37of just unplayable without the stamina
- 17:39booster. Help on space optimization is
- 17:41also just mandatory. Finally, I think
- 17:43you should always run muscle
- 17:44enhancement. You're always running
- 17:45through something that's like kind of
- 17:46annoying slowing your character down and
- 17:48having the terrain not do that or be a
- 17:50problem just makes everything feel way
- 17:51better to play. On top of that, the main
- 17:53reason that you want to run this
- 17:54specifically against high lords is the
- 17:56shock waves from when they're causing
- 17:58their earthquakes don't slow you anymore
- 18:00when you have this. So, you never ever
- 18:02get turbo slowed and it makes it a
- 18:03mandatory lock in for me on high worlds
- 18:05because
- 18:06you don't get shamu'd nearly as often.
- 18:09Also, do know experimental infusion does
- 18:10get quite a bit of value for the
- 18:11movement speed and damage reduction, but
- 18:13I really don't like the swing mechanics
- 18:15in this game and it adds quite a bit of
- 18:16weapon sway. I think it was like 25% or
- 18:18something. So, I just don't run it at
- 18:20all anymore because you have to stem
- 18:21basically every point of damage that you
- 18:23take and I would rather have my weapons
- 18:24be way more accurate. Anyways, if you
- 18:26have anything cool you want me to run or
- 18:27try out, let me know. I usually lock in
- 18:29whatever people ask for when I'm
- 18:31streaming and then it's always fun
- 18:32hearing and trying all the combos you
- 18:34guys use. And as always, if the video
- 18:36helped you out or you liked it, I would
- 18:37appreciate if you subscribed, liked, and
- 18:38hyped it. Anyways, GG's guys. Have a
- 18:40great night. There's one way to do this.
- 18:42Like that.
- 18:43>> I agree.
- 18:43>> Holy [ __ ] Holy [ __ ]
- 18:46Salute gentlemanly gaming. Holy [ __ ]
- 18:50>> gosh.
- 18:52>> You're not him. You're not him.
- 18:55Neither are you, [ __ ] Holy [ __ ] That
- 18:58guy
- 18:59>> [laughter]
- 19:05>> Back up.
- 19:05>> Something's wrong with my FRB.
- 19:07>> Oh, yeah.
- 19:07>> It's mine.
- 19:08>> Oh, [ __ ]
- 19:09It's not It's not [laughter] mine.
- 19:11>> It's not mine.
