Did I nail something you didn't know about or am I liar? Let me know if I managed to teach you something new about the game! Thanks for watching and as always my favorite comment will be featured at the end of the next video! I'm also sick so sorry if I sound uh, sick :D
@@Colonel-Sigma i feel like airstrikes can come from either the left or the right side. But 500kg is always from behind you, but where it lands is a little inconsistent/misleading? Like if you throw a 500kg onto an elevated position, it tends to try to land on the floor of the beacon so ends up being a bit further behind
finally some actually obscure tips, normally these are like "40 tips you didnt know!" and then the tips are like "some flora can explode" "helldivers cant swim" "you can shoot hulks in the back with any weapon"
"Switch to a different weapon when the quasar/laser cannon needs to cool down! Change your stratagem key binds to the arrow keys, no need to stop moving!"
I ended up one time breaking the pelican, I fired at it with the emancipator mech a bit too much and it bugged it so we couldn't extract, needless to say everyone else got real pissed at me but it was hilarious
- 4:54 "Repeatedly Dolphin Diving is the fastest way to move around while maintaining a LOW PROFILE." - Automaton immediately spots you & shoots a drop ship flare. XD
I’ve done this already, but I feel like spamming dive still gets me spotted since I spammed it in front a nearby would-be out of range crowd and still got flared. Started to add a second pause between dives cuz from my experience it “feels” like the enemy have an invisible aggro bar and spam diving doesn’t seem to let it cool down properly and eventually reaches being detected. (All this is speculation, just what it feels like)
You can solo the broken limb achievement too. Throw a resupply, turret, or support weapon beacon while wearing armor with Democracy Protects and crouch under the blue beam. Standing will often only cripple your arms and torso, but crouching usually gets all five. If you win the coin flip and the armor prevents you from dying when you get blasted by an orbital drop pod at terminal velocity, you get the achievement. Only took me three tries once I figured out the crouching part.
One deployment of 380mm artillery barrage on the command centers will 9/10 times kill it, with the other 10th time being due to the entire artillery barrage just straight up missing the bunker. It's consistent enough that I can just dial up the barrage, charge in just enough to get that beacon SOMEWHERE in the objective area, then run off and do whatever while I wait for it to die.
Sitting next to a hellbomb and shooting the command bunkers is beyond brave, it's super brave. I've seen heavy devs take pot shots at eagle 1 and I swear they've gone on cooldown early before, now I know i'm not crazy lol!
no way is that what it is thats nuts, after over 350hrs I just thought I was going mad like OP lol would be cool if they had some audio of her getting hit and having to retreat
Had mostly tips i actually didn't realize AND didn't say anything along the lines of "AND DON'T FORGET TO LIKE, SUBSCRIBE AND HIT THAT BELL TO NEVER MISS OUT ON FUTURE VIDEOS"? Instant sub. Hell yeah.
I don't think it works anymore like that, tried it many times. However by calling down a support weapon and lining the blue beacon up to the middle of your back to hit all limbs you will get the trophy even if you die. Must still use democracy protects tho. It worked for me first try despite killing me
The eagle-1 is the only one I had no idea about the rest I've already figured out. The stealth diving is pretty something you could do for the longest time in payday 2 only it was crouching in that game. This is an over sight lots of games miss. Rough text from someone that doesn't code is the game checks of on your current status if model is prone, if yes enemy can't see/hear you, if no enemy can see/hear you. Diving is simply flagged as prone to make the transition into actual prone more stream line. Still funny knowing that a crook slowly crouch walking in more noticeable then the crook effectively doing cannon balls down a hall!
@@EravinVT It's not funny, also it wasn't a joke...you literally mispronounced it and instead of taking it like a man and admitting your mistake, you're just instead acting like it's a joke and a meme. Only fools can't admit their mistakes
Awesome video. I always love your content, super well researched and very well articulated. Your armor video changed the way I fight bots completely and basically made higher difficulties possible. You are a true Patriot, sir. Liberty salutes you 🫡
That Eagle-1 information is so cool! I almost wish anti-air didn't disable eagle stratagems so we had to play with the risk of the eagle getting damaged during a mission; would still be way more difficult for the eagle to clear the anti air bases due to dropping the payload early.
@@EravinVT Dang. They should add it, especially for pelican 1 because there's a lot of people that get confused with him taking off the moment 1 diver makes it in.
@@KrimsonStorm This game definitely seems to have a thing with audio being sort of unfinished in general. Aside from certain mission-critical call-outs such as these ones being missing, some enemies just do not have idle or movement noise at all (most comical in the case of automaton tanks - Which make no engine or metal tread noise at all. Their only sound is the guns firing).
@@KrimsonStorm I'm pretty sure that Pelican One leaving with only a single helldiver is a bug. My hunch is that earlier in development, Pelican One would simply leave if too damaged, which later got removed, but the strange single diver behaviour is a lingering left over of that previous design.
Eravin! Review the new warbond please! I mostly wanna see your reaction for the first fully stealthed ranged option in the game (the throwing knife) but we all just wanna see more of you in the long run!
Its actually way easier to get that whick dose not kill you, you just call down a resupply or other pod down and then stand under it with democracy protects armor. ( i find it works best if its a glacing impact on the back of your character).
Instantly popped the limb damage achievement by wearying democracy protects and calling a hellpod on myself. Died, but i guess i was alive for like a frame? Very simple.
I came to the same conclusion about that achievement as i tried to get it after the explosive change. I found it much easier and way more consistent to just wear democracy protects and position yourself just right under a hellpod landing and it should break every limb everytime
Yo that anti-air effect is actually awesome. I wish they built that out more rather than just treating AA guns like a mini stratagem jammer. It’d be neat to try and figure out the correct angle or gambling your Eagle won’t be hit rather than simply being unable to call them in. Wild that this exists as an effect and is almost N/A. Thanks Eravin!
Yeah I almost wish it was a more prevalent mechanic, like you were allowed to make the mistake of calling her in within a kill range instead of eagles being disabled in close proximity
Huh. I do not fight Bots much so the Eagle damage thing was new to me. I just assumed that having an AA emplacement on the map means Eagles cannot be called in at all until it is broken, like how the strategem jammer works. Neat. And honestly I need to use Orbital Precision Strike more. It honestly seems pretty useful in a surprisingly high number of cases.
For the first tip you dont even need a friend. Use demcracy protects and call down a support weapon. Then aim down at the ground and line the blue light up into the middle of your back so the hellpod hits all limbs. Even if you die like i did you still get the achievement and it worked for me first try, ive heard of it taking a cpl tries for others tho. Just finished getting platinum doing this
My friends and I accidentally blew up the extraction shuttle once. We all brought the 3 barrages on a defend mission and let them all off at the end, which apparently sniped it out of the sky on its way down. It was a husk we could climb inside and on top of, but couldn't extract.
I never knew that, the Eagle jet goes by so fast, and I thought Arrowhead wouldn’t go down that road, as losing Eagle 1 would be a Hulk sized kick in the balls. I like that it encourages us to be more methodical with our Eagle strats
I unsubbed from most other Helldivers 2 content creators but you passed every test with flying colors. I'm sticking with you 'til the end, my brother. Thank you for the obscure tips! I will never put Eagle-1 in danger that's our wife up there 💪😤
Personally I like having a titan aggroed to me from longer range, then dropping the 500kg in its path, and keeping distance until it's in the right position before moving towards it to trigger a breath attack, so it stops right on top of the 500kg drop location. Your strat is something I will have to start using when they're too close though, I used to just run between their legs and drop it underneath while running hoping the time it takes to turn around is enough and I don't get killed by a leg.
On your note about command bunkers being counted as an enemy, so too are fabricators counted. They ping on your map as a large dot (vehicle/large enemy type) and that's also why your Guard Dog and Sentry stratagems shoot at them. It's just that Fabricators have insanely high armor everywhere except the vents and opened door, the only support weapon with an armor pen to get through that armor is the SPEAR (so far, at least, I hope they bring back the REC-6 Satchel Charges from the first game, those could also blow up Fabricators if memory serves.)
Bonus: putting a leash on Rover If you sense your Guard Dog Rover about to strafe yourself or a teammate, look up. The Rover will ascend and shoot from a higher angle. Similarly if you have chaff in front of you that you want Rover to buzz, look down and it will lower its hovering height.
I had no idea about Eagle 1. Neato. If you're struggling with the achievement, throwing a resupply and going prone on the beacon has gotten us a 100% success rate even when we get killed.
You can tell a lot about a Helldiver's experience in crushing clankers and bugs by hearing what nickname he gives the quasar cannon. Everyone's got a different name for the dang thing lol.
For the first tip, you just need to have a hellpod drop on you just right to injure EVERY body parts. That's how me and my friend did it. You don't actually need to survive though it happened to me since I wore the democracy protect armor.
the thing about bunkers is you may as well use the laser instead of walking barrage. A single use kills them absurdly fast and clears out most of the enemies right nearby afterwards. Even if you only land it near the outside static enemies it should walk it's way through them into the base and kill it fine
Its nice seeing some good, positive content. Feels like every youtuber covering helldivers 2 is so doom and gloom over nerfs and content and it's so exhaustingly annoying.
Heavy Devastators do the same thing as Gunships. When they squat to fire the rocket barrage, move in the other direction or stop and they'll miss you completely
@@EravinVT I'm starting to wonder how many things lead their shots like this. The traitor barrage does something similar where if you move in the opposite direction you're going when it fires, it will miss you.(pretty sure I got that from you as well).
I got "that which doesn't kill you" achievement on accident one of the first times i dropped in. My buddy brought me with on a suicide mission to use me as a meat shield.
The easiest and almost surefire way to kill a command bunker is using a walking barrage. The barrage itself walks fire over around 150 meters, and coupled with the 50 meters throw distance you can almost always throw the stratagem out of range of the turrets. Since the command bunkers are so large, enough shots will hit it to kill them. And by the time you get to the next bunker your orbital barrage will likely be off cooldown. Just highlight the objective on the map, aim in that general direction and let the stratagem ball fly! This also works to soften up bases. I never bother with 380s or 120s since now I don't need to wait for them to fully end to start advancing on a target. For a less effective technique, you can shoot the roof bunker guns off but not the wall guns so you can get up close and personal.
Curiously, sometimes you can see one of those Hellpods crashing on the map that you need to salute to open; they usually appear closer to hills or canyons.
fun fact about the bunkers if you're willing to sacrifice your efficiency on the battlefield you can bring a spear and lock onto and damage them, so long as you have a line of sight to the node at the base of the bunker **ONESHOTTING** them the issue is having the highground to lock onto them as they're often on highground themselves
Aright, heres one for a followup: Jammer Towers can spawn with a fabricator right next to its base. Destroying the fabricator will cause an explosion strong enough to take out the jammer, meaning no hacking required. Precision strike can take out jammers, research bases and some others too on a 90sec cooldown
This is what makes the spear king on blitz missions where you have no time to deal with jammer up close. Alternatively a quasar from the right angle can take out the factory easy too.
If you don't fullscreen on PC, the buffer bar of YT is perfectly in match with the bottom left line under the Helldiver's Level, I thought I was tripping xD
If there’s the meme stratagem like: Liberty Dive, after use the cool dialog will appear “You’re on your own, Helldiver……Eagle out” then crashing down, obliterated everything along the path.
Funny enough I knew all but the gunship tip, which is kinda embarrassing cuz I mostly play bots. I only knew most of these because I am in the discord & check the channels frequently, the eagle 1 in particular was fascinating
Glad everyone calls it the queso cannon just by instinct, literally as soon as we saw it in our group one of our guys said it since I was eating some burger with queso on it lmao
an easier way to get the limb achievement. have the Democracy protects armor. and roll the dice of a hellpod landing on you. a direct hit (and survive the roll) will instantly injure all body parts.
'that which doesn't kill you' Idk if it still works, but I did it while wearing 'democracy protects' and deliberately stepping on mine (which desintegrates you every time) and did it on first try luckily.. If it still works, that's solo way of doing it.. Also the 'hold my liber-tea' can be cheased by landing on mushroom and shooting them right on landing which counted still for me

These are all things I knew honestly but still a 🔥 video because most people won't know some of these like you said :)
Good, now I can teach Eagle-1 a lesson for constantly hitting mountains (or ME) instead of my target.
Revenge!
Her strike pattern is always consistent. If the strike misses for any reason other than a strategem bounce, it's a skill issue.

If the pelican 1 is too damaged, it extracts when the first helldiver gets on and leaves everyone else left behind

If Pelican 1 is heavily damaged just before landing - you can bug it out causing it to never allow anyone inside

I was wondering why I could take out the bunkers with the precision strike sometimes. Thanks, dude.
glad to spread some good info!
Yeah, and if you are in 4 man squad each one of you throws 1 orbital laser at different bunker and you have easy time.
Well the precision strike can kill anything though, it's simply a single round of Orbital 380mm
Two 500kgs or one use of the orbital laser will also put them down very consistently.
One deployment of 380mm artillery barrage on the command centers will 9/10 times kill it, with the other 10th time being due to the entire artillery barrage just straight up missing the bunker.

Even if you only land it near the outside static enemies it should walk it's way through them into the base and kill it fine
Kinda wish Eagle made a call out over radio telling you they had to drop payload early and bail
Its nice seeing some good, positive content. Feels like every youtuber covering helldivers 2 is so doom and gloom over nerfs and content and it's so exhaustingly annoying.
Heavy Devastators do the same thing as Gunships. When they squat to fire the rocket barrage, move in the other direction or stop and they'll miss you completely
Covered this in a video about Automaton tactics previously a long while ago before gunships existed
@@EravinVT I'm starting to wonder how many things lead their shots like this. The traitor barrage does something similar where if you move in the opposite direction you're going when it fires, it will miss you.(pretty sure I got that from you as well).
I got "that which doesn't kill you" achievement on accident one of the first times i dropped in. My buddy brought me with on a suicide mission to use me as a meat shield.
The easiest and almost surefire way to kill a command bunker is using a walking barrage. The barrage itself walks fire over around 150 meters, and coupled with the 50 meters throw distance you can almost always throw the stratagem out of range of the turrets.
Since the command bunkers are so large, enough shots will hit it to kill them. And by the time you get to the next bunker your orbital barrage will likely be off cooldown.
Just highlight the objective on the map, aim in that general direction and let the stratagem ball fly!
This also works to soften up bases. I never bother with 380s or 120s since now I don't need to wait for them to fully end to start advancing on a target.
For a less effective technique, you can shoot the roof bunker guns off but not the wall guns so you can get up close and personal.
I got that that which doesn’t kill you achievement by wearing democracy protects when a teammate decided to melee the dude hellbomb and survived it.
Great tips I learned a lot of new things! For super earth!
Glad it was helpful!
Curiously, sometimes you can see one of those Hellpods crashing on the map that you need to salute to open; they usually appear closer to hills or canyons.
fun fact about the bunkers
if you're willing to sacrifice your efficiency on the battlefield
you can bring a spear and lock onto and damage them, so long as you have a line of sight to the node at the base of the bunker
**ONESHOTTING** them
the issue is having the highground to lock onto them
as they're often on highground themselves
Until they fix the spear I can’t trust it to do anything but disappoint me
@@EravinVT thats overly harsh
Aright, heres one for a followup:
Jammer Towers can spawn with a fabricator right next to its base. Destroying the fabricator will cause an explosion strong enough to take out the jammer, meaning no hacking required.
Precision strike can take out jammers, research bases and some others too on a 90sec cooldown
This is what makes the spear king on blitz missions where you have no time to deal with jammer up close. Alternatively a quasar from the right angle can take out the factory easy too.
If you don't fullscreen on PC, the buffer bar of YT is perfectly in match with the bottom left line under the Helldiver's Level, I thought I was tripping xD
I love these tips! ☺️
glad you like em Soso!
thanks for the tips about the case oh cannon😊
Happy to help! :P
2:12 high ground, sounds like he got trained by kenobi
Gunship thrusters only have medium 2 armor. You can take them out effectively by targeting with the amr or autocannon.. or hmg
I bring orbital lasers on bunker missions. Sure you might come under fire but you toss that sucker and you're free to move onto the next objective.
If there’s the meme stratagem like: Liberty Dive, after use the cool dialog will appear “You’re on your own, Helldiver……Eagle out” then crashing down, obliterated everything along the path.
Another great, informative vid!
Additional tip for the command bunkers:
Orbital laser can kill the bunkers using its entire salvo. Just have to throw it close to the bunker
Captions look like this
Funny enough I knew all but the gunship tip, which is kinda embarrassing cuz I mostly play bots.
I only knew most of these because I am in the discord & check the channels frequently, the eagle 1 in particular was fascinating
Glad everyone calls it the queso cannon just by instinct, literally as soon as we saw it in our group one of our guys said it since I was eating some burger with queso on it lmao
It's not, just people that flunked highschool. It's not that hard to pronounce
I have the ultimate obscure tip that isn’t covered by ANY helldivers content creator including Eravin.
There are difficulties besides Helldive (9). 😮
Lol
1:57 hmm, yes, the queso cannon, nothing destroys a bunker better than molten cheese being launched at extreme temperatures with such powerful force
Caseoh cannon got me rolling 🤣
You can drop a supply pod on your body with the armour set and it pretty much does it in 1 try. 😉👍
Great Video 😊
Thanks! 😊
Another way to get the achivement for all limbs broken is to rock the 50% armour and stand under a hellpod.
an easier way to get the limb achievement. have the Democracy protects armor. and roll the dice of a hellpod landing on you. a direct hit (and survive the roll) will instantly injure all body parts.
'that which doesn't kill you' Idk if it still works, but I did it while wearing 'democracy protects' and deliberately stepping on mine (which desintegrates you every time) and did it on first try luckily.. If it still works, that's solo way of doing it.. Also the 'hold my liber-tea' can be cheased by landing on mushroom and shooting them right on landing which counted still for me
Welp, guess I'm dive-proning my way through this game now too.
yep!
nice job!
That dolphin joke aged like fine wine (:
Bruh the CaseOh cannon is wild
