Yup! Reload part was always intended, the swap part was not.

@@newspiked7385 so ammo economy is still good with this build ? I’m starting to venture towards the bolt bc it feels better as a sniper so just wanted to make sure

@@xquantumx7052 You have to economise way, more, but yeah still very viable - use your bolt pistol for small groups of minoris, knife for single majoris, then use the bolt sniper for multiple majoris and large groups of minoris where you can proc Reloaded Restoration easily. For the fast-moving Extremis like the Lictors, I would actually stick to the knife as landing headshots is tricky. When you're near an ammo box, you can really go ham with the Bolt Sniper. I need to put up another run post update just to show how it plays now, not as abusable but still one of the best majoris killers!

@@newspiked7385 will be waiting ! Long live the snipers

Well, new patch has made the Chaos way easier, with reduced enemy count and damage. So enjoy :P

You see it in the very first ground pound I do in this run, at 5:55, then 10:50, again at 34:20, dunno if I missed any. Surprised it didn't proc in the big fight with the Guardsmen, but don't know if somehow I triggered the cooldown while already maxed on nades.

@@newspiked7385fair! Skill issue confirmed. 😅

​@@a.common.Americanlol nah not a skill issue, can just be hard to notice. definitely easier to proc with this build since you're spamming ground pounds into crowds so often!

@@LordKelvinX2086 yeah, I think frog was saying the harder games were when there were more chaff spawns, so that checks out. I had a knight upload waiting in the wings before the update lol, I already liked it tho I'm so glad they fixed the ammo pickups. Never quite got the hate but I think not a lot of people like the fast magdump, frequent reloads weapons like lib carbine as well. The reduced recoil on the knight is kinda nuts, barely any kick to it now compared to before, I kinda miss it lool.

@@czarpaul01 Punisher and Senator, full build is always in the description

@@newspiked7385ah ok! Sorry Spike. Great fun to watch as always

@@czarpaul01 np! I know the wall of text can turn people off lol

@@newspiked7385ha old dude here I always forget about the descriptions

@@C.u.d.s we ran double RR vs bots and we were literally downing Factory Striders on sight and taking out Dropships before anything could land :P

@@JonnyBravo0311 I've always thought that, going back to HD1 where they had the same tooltip

yeah, defence missions are definitely undertuned now :/

@@newspiked7385 Well, less the whole mission and more the dropships specifically. Since they come in on predictable paths I could hit and kill them from quite a distance reliably. Spawn camping, really.

I thought that was just your voice? *Toxic Warbond is out now!*

@@newspiked7385 shots fired lmaooo

​​@@newspiked7385 I will never get used to hearing a recording of my voice so I can't really argue

Yeah. Factory Striders in particular can be a little anticlimactic, 2 RRs to the head and it's over before the fight even started.

@@newspiked7385 I mean, I am happy about the idea of 4 idiots with OP weapons at their disposal. It's funny now, less of a hardcore game.

@@marcohorodnichev9489 I think there was a nice balance to it in terms of the level of challenge. Some mission types like the revamped flag missions on bots do bring those massive difficulty spikes back, so more of that would be cool.

Loool!

Yup :) I'm playing both atm, but have more fresh build ideas for SM2. For HD2 I want to showcase the RR, Breaker S&P + Railgun, Lib Pen and the mech builds too.

@@newspiked7385 sick, waiting for a sale so I can play hd2 myself already

So main thing to note is that ground pound damage is different depending on the melee weapon you're using, so Thunder Hammer does the most damage, Chainsword the least. Variants don't come into it tho AFAIK. I do wanna try out the Chainsword for a jump pack dash build tho!

Thanks! And yup, already am, tho we're all at different stages of levelling the different classes and guns. Gotta upload some coop stuff soon!

👀👀

In Helldivers, I think it's having to adjust to enemies that shoot back, and learning to take cover. In Space Marine though, both races have shooters, so it's not as simple as that.

ah no - I just upscale my video renders so YT compresses them better.

Love how often I hear Terminids instead of Tyranids, ha. I think Assault is my favourite too, Sniper would be too but it's hard to know how it's actually meant to feel with the infinite ammo stuff atm. Chaos as assault definitely is more challenging but there's some nice stuff you can do - have a solo ruthless run coming up soon that should hopefully give people some ideas.

@@newspiked7385 😂 didn't even realize I wrote terminids. Same same. Looking forward to the chaos vid. I've done several ruthless runs as assault and it's definitely not bad. Had only one death last run (jetpack malfunction caused that one). Also, I recommend the armor back on gun strike perk. Very helpful for survivability, esp vs Chaos Sniper makes chaos easy mode. Las Fusil removes rubrics in 2 shots. The 2 second invis after attacking perk lets you do some mean stuff and get your cloak back in a few seconds so you can just spam it all match.

@@Cbox4 yeah, I ran that perk for my run, definitely saved me a couple of times. And yeah, Sniper is goated, especially for Chaos. Just hope they can fix the infinite ammo bugs so I can use it without any guilt :P

Yeah, annoyingly the bugged perk has to be selected to get access to Reload Restoration, which is the legit way of earning ammo back...think it'll still be powerful once fixed, but will need a lot more trickshots I reckon. Reloaded Restoration is more powerful than the Las Fusil class perk, so here's hoping.

It's a known bug they have said they are going to patch out. Easiest to do with the melta but can be done anytime you hit multiple targets with anything while you have contested health.

As far as I know the only multi-target healing perk I have on is on my bolt pistol, so if that's what's triggering it, it at least has a long cooldown on it. AFAIK the melta healing is just aways on or at least whenever your low health, without a cooldown. So even with a build that can spam ground pounds, the power level is vastly different. I also swear I've seen it proc on a single target too with the melta but I havent used it enough to say for sure. I guess we'll see how the devs approach it. I will disagree that the multiheal bug necessary for ruthless assault play tho. Should have a vid coming out tomorrow or the day after, another ruthless solo, no incaps, this time vs chaos since people were doubting its viability vs chaos. Build was quite different on the ground pound side, used the reduced AOE version so really no multikills to be had. Armour management instead of health management was key, and Assault has some nice stuff to get it thru gun strikes and executes easier.

@@newspiked7385 Multihit heal occurs any time you strike two or more targets while you have contested health. The “bug” is that the game converts your damage to reclaimed health for each instance of damage rather than as one big chunk. Since we don’t know the real numbers, let’s just pretend we have 100 hp. So you get hit, take 15 damage and say you have a white bar for 10 contested hp. If you immediately initiate an execute, it’ll freeze the bar, you regain all 10, right? Well, if instead you fire your melta at two warriors and hit them both for (let’s just pretend conversion is 1:1, which we know it isn’t) 10 damage, in theory you’d only regain 10 hp, since that’s how much white hp you have. Instead, you regain 10+10 because the game checks and lo and behold, you have 10 white hp, each individual chunk you’re trying to regain is smaller than that (10 each), so you’re allowed to regain both of them. Boom, 10 white hp becomes 10+10 regain for up to 20 hp regained. Similarly, if you swung your chain sword for 2 damage to each warrior, you’d gain 2+2 = 4hp. You can really feel how much this matters when you’re quite low health trying to recover vs a small number of enemies with a melta. If you only have 5 white hp and 2 enemies, it can be hard to stack up hits even with the melta to regain a lot at once. By the same token, hitting 10 gaunts will still add up to a lot of hp regained. This is the “over heal.” It lets you add up several hits to regain lots of hp. In your video, in the first two minutes, you can see yourself do it a few times. I’m not like, accusing you of cheating or anything, it’s just how the game works. You can readily do it with anything that hits hard in an aoe. Charged plasma, bolt rifle grenades, etc. The melta is just really high per shot damage, on demand, in a huge swaths, so it’s insanely easy to use to recover with. But I have gone from almost dead to full hp firing a grenade launcher into swarms plenty of times. This is my point: almost every weapon does it some, and it’s nigh on impossible to go an entire level without ever doing it once unless your armor literally never breaks. You’re way better than I am, way better than most players, and even you break your armor a few times in this. Hence my belief that the way the devs described the issue and their fix doesn’t match played reality. Either they intend for multi hit overheating to occur and the melta is just getting too good a conversion rate from its damage to hp (which is probably what’s actually happening-I suspect that what ever modifier of X damage = Y white hp recovered isnt reducing melta damage and it’s the only truly 1:1 conversion) or they don’t intend multi hit healing to occur at all and we are all going to be nerfed into the absolute ground. Their post made it sound like they don’t want multi hit healing. That would suck, esp for the new difficulty. Hopefully the melta just gets its conversion rate reigned in and some other weapons get theirs improved. Imo all melee weapons should have both more damage and better conversion rates, but also most precision weapons need improved conversion.

@@piedpiper1172 Thanks for the explanation. I guess the best thing would be for AoE weapons to get reduced conversion, and the rest to get a step up, but currently the system just isn't fair to a lot of weapons. It's also hard to say whether the playerbase can adjust to playing without it until it happens - all I know is that while playing with the meltas can fulfil a little of that power fantasy in the short term, in the long term it can also feel kinda braindead and get in the way of learning more of the game's other mechanics - why learn how to dodge and parry when it destroys crowds, staggers elites, heals you and refunds ammo. Hopefully when a nerf comes players will find new ways to survive and deal with the limited healing.

Thanks! Hope it helps, got a couple more build variants I'm working on too!

@@newspiked7385 Helps tremendously and can't wait to see them! Your Space Marine 2 and Helldivers 2 content is superb. 🙌

We do not suffer the Xenos to live.

Tyranids are not wildlife of other worlds but an invasive species affecting all worlds 😉

I actually think most of the ranged threat from Chaos comes from the cultist shooters, which can be taken out with the pistol, but yeah will have to do a follow up!

Not as big a deal since patch on chaos.

least played is bulwark, but I'm really looking forward to it. most is probably a tie between sniper, assault and heavy

Agree but disagree. If the concerns of the class aren't communicated, I assure you it wouldn't get the changes it needs. Also, In a team play environment where others can kick you off their lobby, it sucks when people either tell you to change the class or kick you off cause theyre about to go into a chaos operation... why? Cause it doesn't hold its weight and bring team benefits as compared to tactical, heavy, sniper and or bulwark. So long story short, yes the class is fun and its hands down the most cinematic class but it doesnt help the team much to have an assault and the skill tree does not synegize well. - assault main for pve and pvp

@@MachiavelliD4 Totally fair! There's a lot of tweaks that could happen across the board and the melee combat system in general could use some adjustments to be more beneficial to each class. I've just been having loads of fun on Ruthless with Assault sometimes not taking any health loss for most of, if not all, of a mission, which is something I just didn't think was possible on Assault. Discovering that it's a good class when played well doesn't mean I'm saying it's better than what any other one class can do, I just don't think it's as bad as most people try to say it is. But that's just my personal take on it. My mileage may be different than a lot of others though because I have a dedicated 3 man team that runs every night. We all know how to cover each other and it makes combats super easy for every member. A great team can make every class feel OP in my experience. Cheers!

It’s all I want to play and I hate when that screen pops up and makes me choose something else
