Stalkers always come at you from the direction of their lair. Helps to track them down
And when you hurt them and they retreat, it’s towards a lair
@@PlowThePow Not always, they'll first jump away from you then seek cover before making their way towards their lair, so wait a bit before tracking them.
the lair is usually within 100 meters of your current location
I talked to a couple of other players in a group I joined about why they weren't reinforcing and found out why: they were under the impression that if you call in one round of reinforcement that only uses 1 of the stack of reinforcement, so they were literally "waiting for more people to die before reinforcing so we don't waste them". I tried to explain to them that isn't how it works, that the number is just a pool of respawns shared by the players, 5x the number of people in the squad. They didn't seem convinced.
I may be wrong, but I think that was how respawning in Helldivers 1 worked. It's been a while since I've played though.
That would explain why they think they have to wait!
@@GoblinxChild u had unlimited resapwns in the first game exept from when fighting the superbosses. they just not using that bucket on there shoulders or eyes and watching the number when calling in reinforcment.
Respawns in helldivers 1 are infinite in coop. Superbosses or not. The only limited respawns was playing solo, which is a lot easier in this game considering you get 5 respawns as opposed to just 2+(1 per every objective completed with a cap of 2). There was no timer even when fighting the bosses in Helldivers 1.
Ahh Cadets...
On the problem of people not reinforcing: I've seen a lot of toxic behaviour where someone will split off from the team and try to complete some sub-objective on their own to help the team save time, divide and conquer, all that good stuff -- but shit happens and they die. I mean it's gonna happen, it's helldivers. But then the rest of the team just, refuse to reinforce them, or will go out of their way to go as far as they can from where that one player died before reinforcing out of spite. Like, they disagree with their idea to split up so vehemently they're trying to actually punish them for doing so, even knowing that player is going to desperately want to go back to where they died to at minimum pick up any lost samples. To be clear, I'm saying the people refusing to reinforce are the ones being toxic here.
shit usually happens like this because they refuse to communicate
normally when im playing with randoms i usually stick with the pact especially that if u arent within 75 meters someone u are considered a seperate unit making more patrols spawn(if you all stay in one group within 75 meters from each other you are considered one unit to the games data making there only be 1 patrol spawning{also depends on difficulty of how many patrols spawn}) but if anything i will ask them if hey can we split into twos and so on. with my friends we will usually split in twos by default because we are perfectly communicating and planning
Another tip for SEAF Artillery, as soon as you activate the console it will spawn waves of enemies to stop you. Gather all 5 shells to the loading area first, then start the terminal up. You can get in, load, and get out before you have to fight most of the time especially if you have friends.
Great tip
@@TGWhittathat's what my gf said to me
2 more things for SEAF artillery, check the shell's, nukes, explosive and napalm are awesome, static and smoke, not so much so check what you feed I and know where the nuke is. 2) had a bug yesterday where 2 of the shell's lost the ability to be interacted with after they were dropped, if this happens check how many shell's are at the objective before you sink any more time into it, if there's only 6, bin it as it can't be completed
This is actually incorrect. None of the input pads activate enemies. I’ve sat there multiple times and completed whole thing with no enemies coming by at all. There’s someone who posted a video how all spawns ACTUALLY work. It does a lot of good for community.
@@ryanlink8699 It's probably changed since the first month of the game, especially after all the "rebalancing" patches they've done.
It absolutely used to work this way, but I don't doubt it's different now.
These tips are pretty basic but DO NOT take your team mates equipment... I don't know what you mean by armour but don't take people's "sub" (support) weapon or their backpacks. These items can have a 5 minute cooldown (10 minutes on higher difficulty modifiers). Use your own equipment, don't leave your team mate unable to kill tougher enemies...
FINALLY someone says it. Last few games my mates have been taking my support that I‘ve taken specifically for killing the chargers, and then they just die and lose it or don’t use it at all 🥲🔫
Well if you need to, grab it and use it, but also of course offer it back afterwards. You can drop carried support weapon and backpack by going into the equipment wheel.
@swolendong3059 that is exactly why I hate playing with a full squad of random. I 100% will "accidentally" shoot or grenade someone who steals my shit
@militarymaster07 I have been Sherpa'ing the lower level players and one dude just hit me off a hill. I came back and used my incendiary shotgun on his face. I commented. Don't start trouble and there won't be trouble.
Also especially if they’re hosting they’ll flat out kill you for their stuff back.
I see a lot of comment saying "don't loot teamates". I'm gonna say "be flexible everyone." Best example i have, we were getting swarmed, lost control of the situation, my teamate die and hes the one with the anti tank bug weapon. I raised him further from the fight, grabbed his gear and samples and switched position. Wasted two missiles but ended up getting rid of thr charger messing us up. Once the situstion clear up, i go to the guy and return his gun and backpack. Down two missiles but saved the mess. He said thanks. So just dont be a dick about it wichever side you're on this situation. You're a team so act like it !
Perfectly said. I may have understated it in the video; but COMMUNICATION IS KEY when dealing with this situation.
Agreed
100% I’ve even had teammates grab my stratagems from spawn 😂 you’re still a team regardless
I once pick up the guy gear by mistake as it was close to mine, before I had the chance to drop it off the guy killed me.
It bothers me to this day.
Didnt know that there are objects generating the mist that can be destroyed, thought it was just a random stage hazard. This is really good to know
The spore spewers suck
Nursery spewers also produce the yellow mist around them, and mega nests also always seem to have some.
Regarding the stratagems sticking to enemies, the stratagem will stick on to non-armoured bits and bounce off of armour.
I was wondering why they wouldn't stick to the chargers. Thanks for the info
@@mordor-fockerthey will stick to their legs and their butt
3:35 shows a stratagem sticking to an armoured enemy though?
@@RC.13 on their squishy bit, sure.
On the Reinforce portion you forgot a MAJOR point. If you have split the team into 2 groups and are dividing up side missions, bases/nests, and the main objectives. For the love of christ do no instantly call down that dead diver, especially if your groups are far away. You have now left that other diver likely in a very prickly situation to fight alone. Not to mention the diver you just called down is now a 2 minute trek from their equipment and samples. If both die then tough nuts they have to hump it back to their crap but nothing is more infuriating then being yoinked across the map because someone called me back in without thinking.
Ya know, I agree, however USING YOUR MICS CAN FIX ESSENTIALLY EVERYTHING!! Sometimes it's just such a bad situation (why I died) and do not want be to reinforced right back into that spots. Sometimes I do. Communication and well all figure out what we all want 🙂
You can climb up the front of the tank. You can get on top, and shoot the vent without worry of getting killed. You can also go prone on it and move towards the front and let enemies with rockets try to shoot you, destroying the tank in the process.
I climbed a charger.
I got killed by its stomp while being on top of it.
@@ShizlgizlI think he means the literal automaton tank, not “tanks”.
@@davos6621 No wonder I couldn't find any vents
There's Def a vent but it's located on his backside😂
Not giving a lot of XP for extracted helldivers is such a nice way to tell you about the lore. 😉
What's the lore behind this? Haha
@@errm9573 That your commanders don't give a flying fuck about whether you come back alive or not.
Everyone is expendable, basically.
@@lyonidus3073 no just the helldivers. 😜 BTW if you like that lore, there is a conspiracy theory about the game going on on tiktok.
I know this is an older comment, but I was playing solo on hard and took out all the objectives and all the side objectives but failed to extract and still got 5 stars. It was called “glorious sacrifice” I was laughing so hard
One major tip regarding the bots is that if you can't kill a big one immediately, shoot the limbs off to disable it. Yeah, the thing is still running around, but it becomes less of an immediate threat and buys you time to deal with others until you get to it later.
You can kill the hulk by placing 2~3 sniper shots into the front hatch (on the red light), it's very fast to kill it this way.
Great info!
You can actually one-shot it this way with a railgun, even in safe mode, and even on helldive difficulty. You just have to perfectly hit the eye.
@@randyohm3445 I know this is late but this still true after patch?
@@justapillow2443 I'm not sure, I've been not using the railgun. I think it can still kill hulks but I don't really know for sure what it takes anymore. They nerfed it so hard, it's very sad.
@@justapillow2443yes but only in _unsafe_ mode with a near-100% charge. An AMR can also snipe kill the Hulk by shooting its red eye 3-5 times (the eye has medium armor and the AMR penetrates that).
7:00 you also want to grab the SAM Turret sites, because they automatically shoot down enemy dropships
Great tip!
Most missions that require destroying buildings give you the hellbomb stratagem once you get to the mission
You actually drop your stratagem ball also if you are ragdolled by anything. Almost got a taste of my own medicine because of a charger.
The Sticky Stratagems is currently only visual for Red Strats, but is fully functional for Blue Strats, which can also do a lot of damage when they land.
Don't forget about Supply Closets, 2 loot spawns for the price of an HE Grenade or other scenery damaging source.
Devastators, your so called "marauders", have a light armored head so just shoot the head, while Hulks, bot mechs, have a medium armored visor so bring a sniper or autocannon.
Don't trust the stated Armor Penetration of a weapon, the Senator and Slugger for instance are "Light" but can penetrate a Hive Guard or Devastator which is Medium.
Another thing too is when you do reinforce, you need to chunk that thing way away from enemies or toward the OBJ. I have so many randoms drop me right next to them as they’re dying.
This!
Depends, I usually throw teammates on hulks or bile titans. Communication is key.
Did you know:
You can figure out the locations of all side missions upon dropping into a map??
Look at the big red blobs on the map overview before dropping in.
When you drop in, that usually denotes bug holes and factories.
But on the overview, side missions have the same appearance as medium outposts.
When you check again after deploying, the tactical objectives blobs will have disappeared, subtly revealing the locations of each one to those that paid attention.
That is amazing info! I didn't realize that. Great find
Fire Diver here. All Fire, all the time. Flamethrower is chefs kiss
Pair it with a Jetpack to get high ground and it's manical
apparently enemy patrols will get alerted from spawn support stratagems so sometimes its not best to call them all in, check the coast is clear before you call in all your shit, otherwise you just wasted it...
also you can use the expendable rocket launcher to shoot into the fabricator exhausts so crouching to improve aim allows you to take them out from a distance with relative ease, without wasting orbitals or whatever
Ill never now stop yelling amazon delivery when yeeting a grenade through a fabricator door
😂😂
My go to is “Kobe”.
Small tip when fighting automatons when you in a mission on 40 min and you on 20 min left and you see a bot with one blade (NOT TWO BLADES) and a gun SHOT HIM FIRST KILL HIM FIRST the pile of scrap will call for reinforcements and you don't want to fight automatons when you low on time cause thats where they come at you with big toys and at your weak point
This was great, I'm re-binding my strategems to the arrow keys right now. You can also hold "x" on PC to bring up a menu for dropping items so whether you want to share, pick up a friend's gear so they don't have to drop in the middle of chaos to get their stuff back, or give all the samples to one person you can.
to add on to your target priority sections, especially at higher difficulties, make sure to target automatons with rockets, so the devastators, raiders, and hulk rocket variants. They will wipe your team with ease at later difficulties, especially when you don't have the time to deal with them once you're overwhelmed.
Rocketeers are my new most hated enemies after the little Stalker swarms
the flamer hulks that can now keep up with me in light armor with stam perk is what bothers me most.
About always reinforcing. Don't always do it. 99% of the time do but if you don't need the support and your teammate died closer to another player and he has the ability tp call it in let them so that they can get their support wrapons/backpack without having to run all the way over.
stalker lair is priority! also a video where we find the super rare samples
Its always around a certain rock. There is only one rock per map and all the purple samples are going to be in that location
I’m sure there’s a fix or another method, but on console, I use my middle finger to hit L1, index finger to type in code, thumb on movement stick so you can run and call stuff in. Really helps my on extreme and above
Macros bro
I got a strat stuck too my shield gen pack this morning... luckily thought fast enough to take the pack off before it dropped in
You can drop stratagems on buildings to destroy them. The sos beacon and resupply can definitely be dropped on buildings to destroy them. Probably support turrets also.
Sometimes the robots can activate counter measures for your stratagem. So make sure to check the light of your orb before you throw.
CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH LOL
More details on this?
@@SL1CEND1CEN There are certain Automaton jamming buildings that will block any Stratagems in its area of effect; it'll appear as static, much like an Ion Storm. You can destroy it easily by demolishing the fabricator next to it, but if you lack grenades/explosives, try to use the terminal to shut it down instead (at the cost of making you vulnerable and eating more time). These structures are large radar tower-like and pulse a red circular wave.
Additionally, there is anti-air nests that will block the usage of Eagle airstrikes.
If there are any other Automaton jamming structures, I've not encountered them yet.
A sniped a spore tower with SG Breaker, 500m, 7 mags. Worth it.
An autocannon, expendable rocket or one recoilless can snipe a tree too
Anything can, but I was actually surprised that the shotgun pellets traveled that far away. Took 7 mags tho. @@thelast749
I sniped one from across the map with the recoilless rifle
A good tip for saving ammo for your MG is lowering the RPM. Way too many times I see guys spraying and missing half their shots because the rate of fire is way too high so the recoil throws their aim all over the place. Lowering the rpm makes that more manageable + you save ammo killing enemies faster with more accurate shots.
I’m glad I knew all of these tips more people gotta know to rebind to arrows so they can run on the go
I do have a Firebug build.
Flame Shotgun
Flame Thrower
Fire Mines
Fire Grenade
EMS Mortar
Laser Drone(optional but super handy)
Fun fact. The bugs taste like chicken if you cook em long enough.
No napalm strike?
@@edheldude You can use the napalm strike instead of the laser drone. I just like the laser to cover me during reloads.
if using impact or thermite grenades, you pretty much NEED to throw them in the fabricator doors. you can actually get them in the vents, but it’s really hard since neither bounce, so you need to swish ‘em. same goes for any explosive weapons too, like the grenade launcher or even the eruptor
For the stratagems if you have them in hand and get hit in general and/or stumble your character will drop it as your alive
When trying to take down the automatron carriers, aim for the boosters/exhausts. Just shooting the main body will take forever and probably not work like in this video
You can 1 shot drop the drop ships with a recoiless if you shoot the bottom of a rear engine
The recoiless will one shot bot drop ships if you hit any engine pod anywhere. I typically aim for the front right or left one since I can usually hit it before they drop troops and land the ship on them taking out the whole squad. The bloody spear can only lock on the center spine of the drop ships and can't even one shot them. Autocannons can shoot them down, but it takes a stupid amount of ammo and you have to hit a red area or it will bounce off.
I don't understand why the stratagem inputs aren't the arrow keys by default. Its essential to move and use stratagems. Unfortunately stratagems attached to enemies don't move the target of the stratagem they deploy exactly where they first stuck not sure if its a bug.
I rather be able to aim where I throw it
.... Entering the code has nothing to do with aiming it... @@stefanforsgren9023
How do turrets interact with stealth? If a turret is seen, are you also spotted? Can the turret make enemies call in bot drops?
Terminid tips from a Lvl 50
There are 4 types of bugs that are dangerous- stalkers, bile spewers, chargers and titans. You alone have to have a weapon against each type.
Move. Always move.
Rapid fire weapons are good weapons.
Slow weapons are bad. Except the Quasar cannon. It drops chargers.
Contact grenades are good, the rest interesting. Stun is fun.
Shotguns are gold.
about the sticking stratagems to enemies, this will not actually change where the stratagem lands unless (I think) it's something like a sentry, resupply or support call in cause those come in pods, the eagles orbitals ect will not move even if the stratagem is stuck to a moving enemy, the reason I'm not sure about the pods moving or not is cause resupplies do track whatever the beam is attached to but I haven't been able to see if this applies to all pod based stratagems
Calling anything will alert patrols and they will home in on them.
As such,calling stuff when near ennemies can wreck a mission.
Don't call stuff if it's going to get the team in trouble.
Wait until the absolute last second to jump out of a Chargers way.
Just because you snipe closed a bug nest or spore spewed, doesn’t mean resources aren’t there still.
Put down bug breaches if called. Leaving them will eventually drive you I to a patrol, doubling your problem.
Bug calls go from most frequent to least frequent, small bugs, medium, large call almost never- Except the Big Brood bug, which can summon its own bugs and call breaches.
Sometimes the beacons can have weapons you haven’t unlocked like Railguns- this also helps preserve resources unlocking stratagems you want and know you don’t like.
Always reinforce right in the center of a fiery murder tornado spawn, great time.
Last time I dropped in on a fabricator, the explosion afterwards killed me instantly. So maybe not that one. Also more curious about the points of interests where you can find super samples, not just medals or requisitions
There was a video of someone dropping in on a hellbomb. He survived. Oh but the fabricators usually have secondary explosions huh?
Super Uranium is always all in one place around a particular white rock. (Difficulty 7 so far) Finding it is the problem. Much easier to recognize after you find it.
Switching stratagem to arrows is good for somethings... but it makes your input time much slower! Your fingers are already on WSAD, not on your arrow keys. So you need to move your hand off of your mouse and find the arrow keys. This takes awhile and its easy to have your fingers not lined up when in a panic. So for fast and natural call in times: WSAD. For being able to call in on the movie: Arrow keys.
Thanks for your tips. I'm level 11 ATM looking to move up from medium
On the point of stratagems sticking to enemies, they can also stick to players. A teammate accidentally banked a resupply and it landed on top of me, and there was nothing I could do to get out from under it and died instantly
Wait you can SPRINT and type in stratagems on console? On pc we can only walk/run, sprint cancels the menu.
1:00 for some reason I can't use the left arrow while holding w so i have to stop briefly anyway.
Safe mode rail gun still kills all non charger/bile Titan bugs in one headshot. (Actually idk about stalkers) it also takes armor off charger legs in two shots, same as unsafe. Unsafe is probably better for bile titan killing.
@@LCInfantry difficulty does not change enemy health values, so this is not true.
There are some instances where enemies change due to difficulty, mostly the bile spewers getting armor and artillery attacks
You didnt mention you can blow open containers with grenades or some explosive weapons, they are usually just under small buildings around the map, rewards in between the escape pods and the double man bunkers, with 2 items inside.
Helldiver throwing missile into the air:
Whos gonna carry the democracy
If you like getting super credits and rep slips, just play on initiate and scan the map, clear the items and it takes around 10 mins of running around. I got super credits for days
I once watched a Helldiver throw an orbital and it stuck to his own shield...
my buddy called in ressuply and it stuck to his shield and he ran around but still got smashed by it
Drop shield pack
On controller, holding down on dpad lets you drop items from inventory, like samples or backpack
Using the Autocannon you can shoot the vent lid, ricochet the bullet and destroy the fabricators from 100m out fyi.
OMG THANK YOU, i was pissed about the matchmaking, everytime i start my 1st mission when i log on i instantly get people joining. After that mission when i go back to my ship if people leave i try to wait for people to join and can never get people after the 1st group leaves. I was always forced to restart my app just to get a easy quick matchmake.
9:03 ontop of reinforcing, try to toss ur teamate as close to where they died, suppose in higher difficulties u just have a shit ton of armored untis in, what are they gonna do spawning next to u tickle them? send them to their corpse so they can retrieve their support weapon and maybe protection if they got a jump pack or shield gen or u might as well get them killed again lol
How do you return to your ship after starting a mission?
13:08 "pick up their armour"
Excuse me private you mind telling me why you're stripping our fallen comrades corpse?
Grenade launcher don’t work on automoton ships I emptied a clip on one in the middle didn’t do nun then tried again on the corner air thrusters and still didn’t take it down
I have seen a video where someone threw a granate into the one of the exhaust above the door. They are alway open compared to the fabricator door.
But it's harder to but then a door and people end up wasting grenades
Do NOT take teammates' weapons
Other than that, good tips
"Strap in and strapon" 😂
The liberator penetrator can penetrate the marauders from front any range
For the arty. what you put in matters. don't just dump smoke or shock when there's nukes on the ground.
Bug breaches are so hard to stop once they start the animation it’s already too late most of the time just the start up calls them in
So, uh, do NOT throw your teammates into a base for the love of god. On any difficulty this can be an instant death sentence. Bring the orbital strike you start with to do this if you want, it has an 80 second cooldown, its faster than getting a reenforcement back when you run out of troops.
Also, dont just reenforce just to get them back out there, a bad drop is a death sentence on repeat if you recklessly bring people back in; find a safe spot, away from the enemy or ahead of where you're running away to and throw them there!!
Do this on Helldiver difficulty and you’ll get kicked for it.
Why does the game forget all my settings every time I restart the game?
sticky stratagems don't work though, the strike will happen on the last location the stratagem landed. Try it with a simple orbital and stick a moving target, the orbital will land in the spot that the enemy got stuck.
I cant tell if it's supposed to work or not at this point to be honest. I guess time will tell lol
Red stratagems stick to enemies but if they arent lock on strats they will drop wheee the beam originated not where the enemy its stuck to is later
quick question : diden get how you did stems on the move, normely its ctrl and you cant move so what do you change ? thx
On PC change the keybinds
@@KinginCanada so you dont use A,S,W,D ? jep im slow today ;)
@@hellaceDKarrow keys
@@fuqis ok tried not for me, but thx, have to find other way to do it
For me on PC for stems I use V key
I both love and hate the friendship doors lol
i hope they update the keybindings controls, theres alot of settings for it where its to open the map/weapon wheel/drop wheel/etc, however sonetimes changing the keybinding forces you to replace a gameplay control, or sometimes the option to tap/press/hold/etc is locked and can change but still be locked is conterintuitive
also add more keybindings to change, like firing mode isn't an option, I've changed my backpack function to hold square so I don't even think I have access to "change firing mode, and can't change it's key binding
Best tip, use the rail gun and sheild if your playing with randoms trust me, use the sg shotgun aswell best gun in the game
Guard dog with laser is better. A 4 man squad together can CC a whole breach just with the drones
Dude. The footage with the sniper rifle for the backdrop hurt my soul. Hit yo damn shots!
dude... i have 45 hours and your the only video ive watched thats gold. subbed edit 9:12 ish. please throw it behind you... dont throw me into the nest please lol
The clip at 5:12 the player seems to have two backpack items and you can only use one at a time, unless your supporting a noob player and giving it to them that seems sub-optimal
you should also not reinforce into a group of shieldbots or hulks with no cover in sight its basically like you whould throw the 500kg directly after with bot damage disabled.
Big tip: most of the sub missions gives you advantage after completion. For example:
- if you do artillery mission, you will gain 5 stratagems shots from it
- if you do the radar sub mission you will now have all points of interest shown on the map
- big spores tree will clean the fog
2:30 the sea of thieves tech omg
Hot Take: Automatons on high difficulty is better than Terminids on high difficulty.
One big thing for automatons if you bring the GL you can take out most of them pretty fast and only the tanks and really big guys by hitting the exhaust and you can take out the big rocket towers much faster
Helldivers fight for democracy and love one another and keep reinforce each other quick soldier!
Use the rail gun in unsafe if you're conserving ammo!
11:40 "the railgun is kinda junk" ... even before you realized the unsafe mode it was great. This statement alone made me nit care about anything else said in the video.
I want to play an impossible difficulty Level mission but it says, I must complete a suicide level mission first...... Except that I have, several times. WTF?
SHELL RUNNING trick to add to his, Hold sprint and do its even faster. It’s kinda ridiculous
I am that one guy thats over 20 and still have no idea whats going on. i just lvled up due to playing so much
Team carry should be a mechanic with the artillary shells
Going around the back of the big automatons is one of the worst ways too kill them.
They also don't take "absolutely no damage from the front" an anti material rifle can headshot them. If you're a good shot that's by far the best way to deal with them. Otherwise AT rockets or recoilless rifles will 2 shot them if you hit each leg. The first leg you destroy will also massively slow them down.
I LOVE how there is soo many tips, tricks and strats but the game doesn't tell you. It's really par the course for the theme of the world. Why put so much training into green soldiers? It's a waste of time. Best to get them out in the war asap. If they make it back, fine. If not, lets hope they took a few bugs with them to hell. NEXT!
It’s apart of videogames… it’s figuring things out for yourself and experimenting/ trouble shooting. Glad they don’t tell us everything… because where the fun in that would be.
@@LCInfantryExactly. I've been having fun figuring it out an whatnot. Arc Thrower blows open crates, btw.
@@LordHollow
Good to know! Thank you
set your full auto machine guns to the maximum rate of fire and treat it like a semi auto and you will chew straight through enemies. get to bursting!!!
for automatons big boys , its easier said then done especially the tanks , their turn radius speed is so damn fast & in difficulty 8 & 9 , things goes so hectic , your team mates will just fend for their self, not much experience on the bug but for the bots , its hell
God i hate it when people try to destroy everything during search and destroy helldive 9 and spore map. Sure we kill half the map but we run out of time and have no xp for extracting
Is it me or is a lot of the enemies doing “stop and stare”
For the automatons, bar the tanks and the heavy turrets, the railgun on unsafe complitely penetrates their armor and one/two taps them on their head. If you want to take down veichles you are better off hitting the weakspot with the auto cannon. Against the wall crawling menace the railgun can strip their armor, but heavy explosives are better to remove it and expose weak points.
This is handy info. I've been struggling with automatons on helldive difficulty. What would be considered the head of a tank if it's facing me? The cannon or the sides of it?
@@cruzmadrid6611 The head would be the glowing point on the back. For reference it's ok the opposite side of the barrel.
I've shot a tank 4/5 times with a railgun at 90% (max worthwile damage on unsafe) and apparently it still died, but I don't know if it was because it stepped into an incendiary mine. If you use the auto cannon and you are the target, light armor works the best, otherwise you have to sneak up or lose the aggro. Two rapid shot and it should be toast, but you can sneak a third to be sure. Also currently I am at 7, even if I would like 6. I'm not upgrading until I get a lot more samples cause the modifire provide significant downtime on the stratagems and I don't like that.
