When its me, on Dificulty 7, 4 gunships come flying from across the country. When its you, on 9, they are on vacation.
Well yeah, that's usually the case. No clue why only one spawned right before the hellbomb went off.
@@Sarge94 Must be some kind of bug that's blocking them from exiting, you can hear a thumping noise as you get close, it's happened to me as well.
I agree, wtf is this shit? using concealment cheats or some bs. I step on a twig and I get an immediate flare then hulk just runs me down from a mile away even when I'm hidden.
@@jingle2534 Exactly. As soon as i heard the noise i got ready to shoot, but it didn't come out. Maybe there's a unit cap? Notice that it finally exited the facility when i took out those 2 guards.
@@alexpettis1742 yeah you got me, i use cheats to delay gunship spawns. That's a good one 😂
I feel like I should get XP just from watching these.
Great job.
Thank you!!!
I never noticed the AA guns will actually shoot at the eagle as it flies through. So cool
As a twin dad, I thank you graciously for the opportunity to live vicariously through your shared experiences. Without you, dads like me would never grt to experience these things. Even as an observer.
I’m a twin dad with a 3rd boy on the way and I play this game. Definitely not as good as this guy, but still. It just takes some time. And even then I barely get like a mission in lol.
@Suhayl_Khatib I feel ya mate. I get tops 1.5 missions done. Only reason I got to helldive difficulty was getting lucky on PUG groups on their last mission of an area.
@@LethinGabbins lol twin dads unite! We should make a group or something.
another cool detail is if you disable and take over the AA guns, they will shoot dropships and gun ships coming for you
@@Suhayl_Khatiband only run in two-man teams! :-9
13:49 that bot unlocked ultra instinct
Bro came from Matrix or something lol
As soon as i watched that happen i instantly went to the comments.
Came here to say the same thing 😂
41 kills with single air strike at 36:15 is actually crazy
He caught the bots in the bug where they all collect on the center of the map. Part of the bug is that they all pack in tighter, making AoE attacks more effective.
@@mawnkey also they're all small bots who'll die to even the outer fringes of the airstrike's splash. I love how arrowhead still hasn't acknowledged this as a bug. Either Joel's helping us out for once or it's actually intended that the bots randomly get brain damage and get lost in the middle of the map
@@godslayer9000it’s coded for them to regroup there every time a patrol doesn’t find you, but canonically/tactically makes no sense
@@dave7922 I honestly don't understand why won't they add a script that clears the center of the map once every few minutes
Yeah, now we need a trenchcoat and sunglasses for night operations. We already have GEP-gun. I've never been so ready
UNATCO got your reference.
Really nice run. Just noticed a few times that the fabricator doors opened when you’re near them. While you can’t shoot the bolts into bug holes or the vents, shooting the open door with a crossbow bolt will explode the fabricators. At least that was my experience. Cheers!
Oh i did not know that, thanks!
Sweet Liberty that Eagle Airstrike through the Blizzard at the end was insane!
Using a hellbomb from the other side of an entire mountain from a Bunker to destroy it when I can't get it to work from 10 meters away sometimes with a hill in the way...
That has to be unintentional, lol. Interesting to see the explosive crossbow not making as much noise with proper use as it seems though - it always in my hands seemed to attract enemies faster, but I also don't tend to do solo Helldive missions. Not because I can't do them - I just find running away from enemies solo all day to be a bit bland.
Good time stamping in any case, and thanks for the video.
Explosions are pretty noticeable, if you aren't careful the bots will find you because they know you're there, but not where you are. However, if you hit an enemy without killing, all of them know where you are immediately
You got some of the best gameplay for Helldivers I've seen yet.
I love this, because I was playing 2 days ago and randomly found one on the ground. I was surprised, but thought it was from one of the other 3 Warbonds I haven't gotten to.
I then checked. It wasn't.
I love how these devs tease content.
Hell yea brother been rocking the crossbow too. Alot stronger than what most people think
I love it! Probably my favorite weapon in the newest Warbond
So many people are complaining about things about the crossbow that no other primary does like I saw someone make a video saying it’s bad because it doesn’t 1 shot hive guards and broodcommanders as if any other primary does that
@@SerbianMilkEnjoyerI personally think it should destroy fabricators like the other weapons in the warbond if it did I would easily use it over them.
It's takes a whole clip or more.. watch Takibo's latest video. He does not stop shooting the entire game with the crossbow cause he just could not kill the enemies fast enough with it before more spawned. Crossbow is dog.
@@SerbianMilkEnjoyer I think it's because basically everyone will have used the eruptor before using the crossbow, and in those instances the eruptor performs better while also closing holes and fabis, and one shotting gunships. The crossbow certainly has a use, it just feels like it does less damage even though the stat sheet would lead you to believe it'd be better. If it could close, while also being one handed it'd be a much better primary.
I've never had outposts and seccondaries so devoid of enemies. gunship an jammer had like 3 troopers and the radar had none. I can only wish for that
I pray for outposts guarded by Scouts rather than Heavys and Rocket Devs
This type of stuff is like half my games past the 10 minute mark. I mostly do hit and run, just like this. My best guess for now is that there's a unit cap and eventually the game stops throwing new enemies at you because of the already existing ones. What's your playstyle if you don't mind me asking?
@Sarge94 I prefer to play like the video. Hit and Run. Tactile approach. Avoid unnecessary conflict. Use cover and long range.
But when playing with Randoms, it's almost impossible. If I have one buddy to play with, we can dominate level 7s, and it's super fun. But a random 4 stack - I find the other players create far more large gunfights and 3 ship botdrops than necessary.
@@B-------D > when playing with randoms
Well there's your problem
thanks for marking everything on the video makes it easier for me to know/keep up with the video. Keep up the videos 👍
13:48 that bot got ultra instinct for a sec
Well done mate :) I'm completely amazed watching these videos! I'm struggling on medium/challenging solo haha!
Very surprised about your run man, keep it up I learned a few things with this video thank you!
This was remarkably impressive, never expect xbow + jetpack combo, but seeing how much mobility you got had me really wondering if I should try xD dat 40+ airstrike kill tho was juicy
I dont even have the game yet but this is so much fun to watch. Insane skills, really enjoyed it! Keep up the good work.
The tried and tested """steath""" method of dropping a 380mm barrage on the enemy fortress
If everyone's been eliminated then no one can raise the alarm. Stealth achieved!
It's called heavy-stealth. No survivors=no whitnesses=perfect stealth
That's about as stealthy someone who yells, "FOUND SOMETHING!" any time they get close to a building can be lol
Sarge is Helldiver Johny Rambo.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You mean Johnny Rico?
incredible gameplay I learned some things watching this
Been using the crossbow a lot lately with the laser cannon, awesome to see it works great with the amr too.
There is always something nice about throwing a strike beacon into a base then running like hell away from the response. Thanks for the video.
i didn't know you could hellbomb through mountains, that's useful information
Not on every layout tho
Flawless execution.
Nice vid, love the fit choice, I tun literally the same outfit, cape and all
The plasma punisher has an audible range of 30 meters so it could work decent for stealth too!
I'd imagine the bots are terrified of Helldivers. Just imagine you're chilling at a heavy outpost thinking they'd have to be insane to try and take it and then in a matter of seconds every building is exploding and all of your socialist robot friends are dead and all you see is a guy running away with a jet pack and a crossbow.
At this rate, I'll be able to solo stealth Helldive once I can finally play this game thanks to your videos.
Trust me, this guy makes it look like a breeze. But when I try it, I can barely move from one place to another what with the huge amount of patrols I seem to encounter. And I'm not even attempting solo stealth on 9. I tried on 3 and still got screwed over.
Lets gooo Sarge! Love the stealth gameplay again, funny I seen a bunch of other videos people put up of saying the crossbow isnt that great but I had a feeling you were going to show the rest how its done!
Man I've tried to play the way you play and I just can't do it! Really impressive what you do!
Would love to see you and spiked do a collab one day where you each clear one half of the map on your own and see how fast you can get it done stealthily
Sounds interesting
great job Helldiver
smoothly done
Cheers man!
Well done, sir. I see that you're using the grenade pistol. Can you use those grenades to destroy fabricators? If so, then wouldn't stun grenades help you get away should the Bots notice you?
Technically you can, but in practice they're pretty inconsistent. Or i just need to learn how to aim with those lol
They one hit if you shoot the open doors, otherwise you just gotta get a weird angle@@Sarge94
@@narrowstone5363 I've tried the doors numerous times. Just so inconsistent.
Wow. No wonder that was quite stealth with Crossbow and Sniper too. Great skills I'm very impressive.
Great gameplay video, I earned so much EXP just by watching this, thank you!
I just leveled up a rank with this video.
What a smooth run. Well done! Where are all the devastators? The hulks patrols?
Insanely lucky on the spawns or I am doing something very wrong in my stealth runs
I'm still trying to understand how enemy spawns work. I had runs that prioritized devastators as well as runs that prioritzed striders. Maybe it's just RNG?
At the beginning i think i just got lucky and didn't run into them. In most of my runs i usually see a patrol within the first 2 minutes. The game loves to put you in combat asap. But later on i think they got bugged cuz of the bot army, it seems like theres a unit cap per map. Notice that as soon as i destroyed them, new units started to appear.
@@Sarge94 ah!! So that center of map ball of bots that you see on water maps is actually saving your life lol
Go figure
Another sick showcase, you almost make it look easy
What's your typical success rate when doing stealth? It seems pretty rng dependent with enemies that can spawn
Also, no super samples at cock rock 26:10?
Pretty high, as long as deathless is not one of the goals.
Enemy spawns don't really matter, since i always try to avoid combat or outrun them. Bots are really slow.
Nope, i call it the fake rock, it only has supplies. I saw the real one during the run but don't remember when exactly. I'm maxed out on supers tho so i ignored it anyway 😂
Man, your theme ought to be Ghost in the Trenches by Sabaton.
A ghost that roams the battlefield...
We need traps we can set for patrols or something. Like trip wires or something. Would add some more fun for a build like this
Nice Dive Soldier 🫡
Thanks, love your vids too!
excellent stealth play my guy, although I would rather go guns blazing than stealth, but I find this impressive
didn't know that Rambo was a helldiver
Big fan❤
Excellent work! Looks like you need a couple of more difficulty lvls added to the game. Nice to see the crossbow getting some love. I think switchable ammo would be nice. AP silent arrows, exloding like current ant maybe corosive? Swich ammo like fireing speed on other guns...
Thank you! Your idea sounds awesome, i even heard that the first helldivers game actually had different bolt types so fingers crossed.
What armor were you wearing? Did you have the grenade handgun? Nice run!
I like your one man army aproach 🏹
How is it you are not constantly running into patrols that "just happens to be" walking in the direction you are currently at? It is just constant for me, and I'm also using localized confusion. I guess good luck makes the vid that much more fun to watch. Always good stuff - thanks for sharing!
Amazing job. Is sad that this type of game dont works to take samples 😢
Smooth play! Yet again proving that Sam Fisher > Doomguy.
In case you weren't aware, the crossbow can supposedly pierce the walls of automaton replicators, so a single shot anywhere on it *should* blow it up instantly. However, I think I saw this from leaked footage, so don't take my word for it. Could have been a feature that has since been removed. Also, this has convinced me to try using the 380mm more.
Thanks for sharing the idea, i'm gonna try it out. Would be awesome if it works the way you described it
I often like explosives myself and would use my auto cannon to blast me back while back diving sometimes in a bad situation. Now for some reason it and other explosives are SSUCKING ME IN to the EXPLOSION! The devs messed up something that actually really matters to me this time. Explosives blowing a user backward, not sucking them in. It kills some of the best fun and vibe about the game. The physics immersing you into the fun and what you can do with them.
Your stealth skills are everything I aspire to be! What's ur normal loadout?
Like grenades, secondary, primary ect? Also I gotta ask, I don't see you using the sniper often, or when I try to use it, It alerts guards and stuff, what do you mainly use the sniper for?
I’m obviously not the person you asked, but I regularly use the AMR in stealth play so I may be able to give some insight. The AMR has two main purposes when used for stealth. The first is killing the big stuff that your primary and secondary can’t handle, and the second is landing some absolutely nasty long range snipes. The AMR is unnecessarily loud, and I wish it were on par with a standard primary in that regard, but it frees up the backpack slot and has a misaligned but consistent scope, meaning that as long as you’re far enough away from any enemies, you can remove major threats at range without being detected while keeping the utility of any backpack you may be wearing. There is also a seldom-useful tertiary role the AMR fills, and that is destroying mortar/AA emplacements. Typically you’d grenade, EAT, or otherwise explode them, but the AMR can take them out in just under a mag with vent shots. Same goes for tanks and cannon turrets. There are some missions where I never fire my AMR once, and others where I need to refill its ammo more than my primary and secondary combined. If only I could use it without alerting every enemy in a 70m radius…
Cheers man!
As of right now:
Primary: scorcher/crossbow
Secondary: senator/grenade pistol
Grenades: high explosive/impact
Armor: infiltrator/trailblazer
In this case i took the AMR mostly for hulks and gunships, as the crossbow sucks against them. It can be used for stealth takedowns tho. Maybe the guards you engaged were too close to other guards and alerted them?
@@bluemew6457 i had no clue about the 70m radius, thanks for sharing this info. Maybe that's why i was succesful with stealth takedowns, i always put the scope on max zoom and snipe from afar.
@@Sarge94 it’s rather inconsistent, as I’ve had enemies be oblivious to shots that were closer, but 70m seems to be the range where you’re guaranteed to be unheard. Also I wish the scope zoomed more. They give us a 200m scope and proceed to make it zoom so little that hitting headshots at 100m is only possible with tons of practice.
Excellent job! I've always wondered why people play with music on though...
Great soundtrack
Beautiful, i would love a more Stealth-heavy mechanic, but since its not a Stealth-game i dont think it will ever be implemented. Like a Pacifist-run
So much democracy in a single video. Most impressive
Do you find stealth missions better with the crossbow or plasma scorch?
Great video. If you had minus 1 stratagem modifier on the planet, what would you give up?
I'd give up the AMR and replace the crossbow with scorcher, as it would leave me extremely vulnerable to gunships.
For me crossbow is so satisfying to use. I think I'll put some time to try master it, though, it might be hard to replace my beloved scorcher
Nvm this gun is fantastic for stealth!
Nice job man. What are you doing against the fac strides? Any idea for solo?
Fighting them alone is risky, if they get you once you may end up in a loop of deaths. I usually try to just disengage while having some solid cover in between me and the strider. But if things go south lasers and airstrikes work as well ;)
I never used the Jump Pack other than to try it out; I found it lack luster and a bit selfish. I even rebound my keys that functionally made it unusable as a side effect. But I do enjoy the Explodie Bow greatly and watching this has inspired me to try this stealth build out, and take the Jump Pack through its paces again. GG.
Why were there no enemy troops at the Radar station (26:20)? Whenever I come across this tactical asset, there’s always multiple enemy units stationed there, and usually several patrols come marching through while I realign the dish.
If you make noise in a certain area, bots may leave their outposts in order to help the ones attacked. Happens quite often during long runs.
After seeing one of these I tried doing it. Dude. WAY harder than it looks.
Did they buff the gunships engine armor? I feel like it used to only take two hits.
Awesome run. How does the crossbow aid in stealth though? It seems like the explosion would be heard all around.
The enemies are drawn to the location of the bolt where it explodes rather than the location the shot originated from.
Just finished a solo Helldive with the Adjudicator.
Definitely not this smooth, and only ended up with 2 stars.
Going to have to see what I can learn from this.
I've been so used to crawling the creek that stealthing on other planets is HARDER for me, but this has given me more than a few tips! Thanks, keep spreadin' Democracy!
Also, do you think the Crossbow is better for stealth than the Scorcher?
Thanks for watching!
I don't think it is, but it's definitely a nice breeze of fresh air.
13:48 he's The One, he can dodge bullets
nice
Back in the office.
That HE barrage tho!
Thank you for your patriotism.
How do you show enemies on your map near dropped pins? Is it a stratagem or something? I've done some googling and come up with nothing.
Try any armor with the scout passive 😉
@@Sarge94 Of course its an armor buff! thanks man 😉 Love the content by the way.
The only thing I'd do in addition at 28:50 would be to drop samples off at extract -since you're right there anyway. It's a good habit to share online.
Good tip, thank you!
10:02 can't believe this works and that you didn't get stuck
This time it did 😂
no one:
Me: *vod reviews this entire video several times to learn how to better optimise the jump pack*
Gameplay: Fantastic
Drip: Revolting
I put hellbombs directly next to the bunkers or other objective and it won’t destroy them? Is there a trick to putting them so far away and they still working?
Yeah, hellbombs need a rework. They're really inconsistent, especially the calling balls. Found this trick by accident, but it doesn't work on every layout, or at least i haven't found the sweet spots on the other ones.
Question about the 380's.
Should I assume you have the ship module to reduce the grouping on the volleys?
I have it, but some people where saying it's bugged and the upgrade doesn't work. Might be true cuz the other upgrade for support weapons did nothing at launch.
@@Sarge94 very possible
Interesting, so with the Xbow, enemies cannot deduce your firing direction. They can only investigate where the bolt landed.
Awesome stealth skills, is this with the latest 380 barrage upgrade?
From what I understand none of the new upgrades are currently working. That's just what i've heard
Yeah, it's amazing now. The upgrade really makes a difference
@@Waynelad Really? I've been using the 380mm quite often since the update and it seems way more accurate. But maybe i'm just lucky.
@@Sarge94 oh I don't doubt you, lad. Good to hear.
Yeah I just unlocked to turret resistance to explosions... They still die from 1 single rocket. And ammo doesn't work for sure, they still give half. Not sure how to prove about the other upgrades.
did they buff the anti mat rifle?
You have a 16:10 monitor? Dafuq? Is it modern? (AKA IPS or OLED 120hz+ ~28" 1600p or ~24" 1200p)?
Also, what FOV do you use? *EDIT:* Wait, you never bothered to get the super samples? Why run a 9, then?
I was like "no way, crossbow sucks against bots"
Well i guess i learned a couple of tips. Crossbow doesnt make a noise while it fires (except the explosion where the shot lands). So virtually you are undetectable while firing though the bots will know somethings up. Plan it right and act fast enough, they literally wont know what hit them
Same with the Autocannon. They're alerted towards where the bullet lands instead of where it was shot from.
Are you able to pull stealth games off like this consistently? Or is it luck of the draw? What I mean is, do you have multiple stealth games that don't turn out this well or turn to shit? Anytime I try stealth, I constantly get plagued by random patrols and hyper alert and aggressive enemies. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I try to stealth and do all the tips and tricks shown here, but I just seem to fail or get really unlucky. I once had bot drops randomly dropping for no reason. No flares or aggro.
It depends on many factors, but can be pretty consistent, especially if you don't care about deathless runs.
этот парень очень крут!
Can the crossbow be considered silent?
How do you like the Eruptor compared to the crossbow?
They're both decent, crossbow just fits my playstyle better. I only wish it was capable of destroying fabricators
do you not have to clear the Bot factories at the bunkers?
you make helldives look easy
Nope, just the bunkers
What is that thing he does while pinging around the map and then a square shows up? What does that do, and what is it for? Can anyone explain?
Scout armor can identify POIs on the minimap when you cursor over them. Try to find the rock on the minimap if you can (it'll say that it's a minor place)
Explain to me how the hellbomb took that out when at times we have been less than a foot away and it didn’t work because it’s wasn’t super close to it
Hellbombs are really inconsistent, especially the calling balls. That's pretty much how i found this trick. It doesn't work for every layout tho and you need to know the sweet spots.
i swear when I play I got 4 gunships chasing me whole map, and when disable jammer the tank drop right on top of me, and as soon as my arrow hit 1 bot the rest of the base come right at the location instead of standing still....whats the difference....
You can do everything with cheats. 0 gunships in his runs... Yeah sure
Orbital barrage or orbital laser for clearing the big spots?
I usually go for the 380 in longer missions cuz it has unlimited uses.
barrage- for big automaton compounds and factories
laser- for big automaton crowds that have big automatons in them 👍
The saddest part was no super samples
I'm always confused about how stealthing into a gunship facility works, always seems like they deploy anyway
It was pretty weird this time, not gonna lie. It spawned right before the hellbomb went off. Anyways, AMR does really well against them, just a few shots to the engine.
@@Sarge94 Yeah, I know, I routinely play stealth with an autocannon. Still odd though, though I'll never complain when I hear that noise meaning it's mis-spawning them.
@@Ciaranosp i think there's a unit cap that causes this to happen. If you keep running away from fights, the game will eventually stop spawning new enemies because of the already existing ones. Notice that the gunship eventually spawned, but only after i dispatched some bots. That would also explain why patrols don't bother me during extraction when the bot army is present.
@@Sarge94 Yeah, that seems logical. I call it the "center swarm" lol. Also, I'm gonna try using the Eruptor for no good reason when I unlock it :)
Can anybody guess what causes the center swarm?
HEll, Sarge is a menace to all bots and communism o7
FORDEMOCRACY!
How TF are you getting those Hellbombs to work on the first try? I can drop them in the middle of a set of *regular* buildings - you know, the ones you can take down with a quasar cannon, and it won't clear the POI, much less work on any type of hardened target. And any of the eagle airstrikes that aren't the 500kg? I don't even bother they're so shit. I've never gotten them to work even when I drop them directly on top of the target, much less anywhere that's any distance at all from the epicenter.
And the 380 HE is absolutely worthless every time I've tried it, mind you, I don't have the upgrade that condenses it down to the smaller area.
If the calldowns worked for me like they worked for everyone else, I could probably solo Helldive difficulty as well.
