31:18 the napalm was a flop because of how they’ve coded the pouncer and Hunter “pounce animation.” Instead of the bugs jumping to a specific point to close the gap, they lock onto you. If you jump during the initiation lf an enemy pounce they will fly with you as if connected by an invisible tether. So it drags the breeches out further than expected and that is why everything was pulled free from the napalm and it flopped.
@@jacobmetzger-levitt9022agreed. Most of those kills are small enemies. They almost always appear in egg destroying missions, nuke nursery and geological missions. UA-camrs are known to farm these missions for clickbait "900+ KILLS" titles
kills don't necessarily speak to efficacy. I never play solo, but at least with group play, you will see this often, the kill count just doesn't match up with MVP. It matches up with whoever can kill the most weenies. Killing a factory strider solo and saving your team is one kill. Dropping an orbital laser on a group of weenies idling on a point-of-interest is 8 kills. I wish that HD2 would implement a second category like 'efficacy', where you're ranked based on total HP damage, or fabricators/holes destroyed, or the like. Or have a 'weighted kill count', where armored/heavy units count as 5-10-20 kills apiece.
In regards to Chargers and the AMR, the Buffdivers patch actually made all weapons MUCH more effective against Charger butts, so with the AMR, a single mag into the ass pops it, and if that doesn't kill it, it'll bleed out shortly after. Live out your dreams of being one of those guys that holds the red handkerchief and taunts bulls.
The Blitzer feels really good in situations it is well suited to, and makes you feel absolutely helpless when it is not well suited to something. It can't kill eggs at all, doesn't even hit them. It's also worse than the crossbow at dealing with Shriekers and that says a lot. I've always been torn on where to rank it. I feel like the Cookout plays the same role, but does it way better and is at least useful in nearly all situations. So I think the Blitzer is A tier for group play and B tier for solo play in my books. These days, I don't feel like it ever reaches into S tier.
The youtube gaming recap said I was a 0.1% Takibo viewer haven't had time to get a good hd2 session in lately, so glad you're there for the fix. Would love some squad gameplay randoms, creators or followers just to spice things up, loved your meridia streams and I think a squad gameplay once in a while would be awesome!
VS Terminids, Blitzer is S-tier. It's my primary on every Terminid world. Period. No other option for me, whether I play solo, lone wolf, or in a group. No matter the mission type. S-Tier.
Crossbow - MG-43 - Thermites - 500kg - Orbital Gas - Jump Pack - plus 2 nades and less recoil armor and any secondary i feel like has become my nobrainer build vs Bugs.
I feel like crossbow and purifier are very similar, yet people in the comments only talk about the former? Crossbow has higher aoe radius, purifier has bigger magazines - both perform about the same in terms of aoe damage on big packs. But on top of that purifier brings versatility with the uncharged rate of fire and being able to shoot point blank and not kill yourself. Crossbow can be one-handed, opening up an option for a ballistic shield but obviously bringing opportunity cost, which I can't usually justify. Can anyone change my mind?
Yeah the thermite brushed against your baby toe for less than a second - but long enough for 2 ticks of thermite burn 😂 But the combination of the starfish pose while you died and landed, the confusion, and then the disrespect of the breakdancing bug... damn I have not laughed that hard in ages 😂
I don't think the Blitzer synergizes with Jump Pack and Scout Armor. Jump Pack creates distance while Blitzer needs closer proximity. Scout Armor also didn't appear to do anything substantial in this specific mission when your primary requires up close confrontation.
In this case I agree with you(since its a solo full clear) but its a common misconception that Scout is some sort of sniper only perk when it in fact synergizes extremely well with close range weapons since the Scout perk lets you get very close to enemies before they start reacting to you which is obviously great if you are running around with a shotgun or something that is very effective in CQC. On the other hand I would ask why you would want a armor with the Scout perk if you are going for mainly long range combat? If you are keeping your distance from the enemies they wont detect you before you start shooting, even if you were running around with a heavy armor.
The issue is jumping into combat with it, which you should be actively trying to minimize or avoid altogether. I think the best use of Scout armor is avoiding aggro as much as possible and using big boom strats to close up bug holes, etc. If/when you inevitably get caught in an unavoidable battle, yeah that's when you whip out Blitzy Boi as your "nuke the enemies in front of me" button before a quick getaway. But it's not an armor that does well with sustained combat.
Jump pack closes distances too, also if you're fighting bugs close range you can get ambushed from the side pretty easily. Also jetpacking onto a plateau almost negates most bug threats while still keeping you within range. So yes the two synergize trust me.
Jump pack synergises amazingly with close proximity weapons, because it allows you to immediately exit a situation when you inevitably over-extend or get surrounded.
@@TheHuffur fr. I use scout armor with close-mid range weapons. When i am going long range I either go with recoil reduction or peak physique since those both synergize well with heavier weapons like the diligence CS and the AMR/HMG
I haven’t taken siege armor off since it dropped 😆 After a few missions every other armor feels like I’m reloading under water, and have half the ammo. Also, a lot of people don’t know that the armor passive description is busted, it gives several stratagems additional ammo, as well as secondaries. Grenade pistol goes from 6 to 8 rounds!? That’s honestly enough right there for me lol
@@Targon999 If I don’t just grab the OP crossbow for bugs, I will grab blitzer or scorcher, although I’m not a huge fan of needing supply pack to make a weapon viable in higher difficulties. Scorcher deletes ammo as well as anything in front of it. And there was also a time I couldn’t put the cookout down. Solid weapon. But if you were looking for suggestions, I’d say whatever you’re having the most fun with, that keeps you alive the longest. I myself prefer weapons with some degree of stagger effect when it comes to bugs.
the reason it does less damage is definitely the balancing. faster kill time with multi-hit would be too good. i think it's in a great state at the moment and not to mention the stagger buildup.
I love the Blitzer, but I think the biggest drawback is it shooting corpses instead of what I'm aiming at. If it ignored the dead ones, it would stop a lot of the frustration for me.
I’ve mained the Blitzer a lot on bug 10s. The main benefit is flinching the Alphas and Stalkers. ADS will pop Alpha heads really easily since it’s so big and up front. It’s not perfect though and I’ll swap primaries if the operation has Shrieker patrols
You should do a video on the AMR on bugs. I tried it a few times and it was hella fun. It oneshot pretty much anything weaker than Charger and Bile Titan.
If you're wondering yes the AMR is extremely busted on the terminid side it was instakill headshot almost every bug (even the stalkers and spore shooter guys) and it can break normal charger butts in 3-4 shots I think bile titans aswell
Biggest weaknesses it has is range, and big groups of small enemies. I tend to pair it with something that can provide fire support, either a teammate or a turret. Helps it do it's job of consistent heavy stunning hits pretty well
I've read on the wiki that alpha commander can still call a breach when headless (since they are not dead yet, they are just bleeding and speeding). Would have been funny at the end
The blitzer is the best close quarters primary in the game. It's for crowd control and self-defense when standing ground. Exploding crossbow is terrible for those things but it kills faster and is more versatile. It just depends on your play style.
I would love for them to reduce damage on the Grenade Pistol and add two more grenades. Closing down bug holes is the main utility and it is too often I need a re-supply or other method to finish a Med+ nest.
A-tier at best. Struggles at contact range (also a problem with Arc Thrower). Also misses in some weird circumstances, such as near corpses or cover, and difficult to hit Shriekers. However, it can also do things like hit around corners, and multi-hit on swarms. Great stun and damage, but limited fire rate often leaves you stuck fighting. Would be interesting to see a prototype variant that offers faster fire rate but overheats.
What i think is a better choice than the blitzer is the adjudicator because you can quickly kill all bugs except chargers, impalers, and bile titans really quickly and you have a decent amount of ammo
the blitzer has some situations where its straight up useless, if you take it on automatons for example thats already one situation where the only thing youll be doing is stunning them since it barely does dmg if u dont get lucky and hit the head. a thing that makes it really useless on both factions tho is when there are bodies around where you want to shoot, if you try to shoot at an enemy that is behind the body of another enemy the shot will not connect, if you try to shoot at an enemy that is behind a metal ornament like a fence or just a chunk of metal it will not connect, something that ive come up with to "fix" this issue is shooting straight up at like a 50º angle on top of the enemy, generally it works for chunks of metal but its just useless on bodies. (and dont get confused, i dont mean the bodies or chunks obfuscating the enemy completely, just the enemy being behind them in a situation where every other weapon would still be able to hit them bc its a straight line)
@@AsterTDs even if he means just for bugs that doesnt invalidae what i said, just remove the first paragraph and theres still 2 major situations where the gun becomes useless.
seems for the pouncers you need to aim between them to get the multiple arcs, otherwise it just hits the front one. i forgot about the commando too. I would have dropped a commando onto the nest lol
Have you every thought about making a tier list for solo Helldive missions? or recommended set loadouts for solo? I feel it'll be very helpful especially to the solo HD2 community :)
i take it whenever i dont want to try that hard in 10s. its excellent vs everything besides shriekers and nursing spewers, but i wear the ballistic guard dog that deals with both of them. pair it with a quasar, and stun grenades and you can deal with everything
I’ve been bringing the Verdict pistol and mag dumping it into the Alpha Commanders to speed up the kills when using Blitzer. I use armor that gives extra grenades in lieu of grenade pistol. Maybe try it?
Hey, since you don't need ammo for your primary you should give the Blitzer another chance with the Guard Dog, compensates the lack of fire rate quite nicely 🙋♂
I've found that the Blitzer, kind of like the Halt, pairs well either with an attentive squadmate or with one of the Guard Dogs - the stun is good, but the damage output and wonky targeting mean DPS suffers vs. something like the Punisher or even the Liberator. Blitzer + GD Rover is a solid choice for a no-fuss backup weapon; unlimited ammo for both means you can just switch and let the stuns happen, to buy yourself some space or time when using something like the MG-43 or HMG. You seem to be able to get some pretty incredible distance out of the jump pack - how do you do it?
You should make a behind the scenes type video with rage moments lol you don’t seem like the type of guy to rage anyway but it would be cool to see a different side of takibo
I feel like its better in squad play to give yourself and your team more time. Especially if running with people using spear/quasar/RR etc to focus the heavy units
You bought a glass mousepad, which mouse do you use it with? Do you use dot skates on it and do you have any pets? Sometimes the liftoff distance can interfere with sensor readings on some type of surfaces, if you have a Logitech or Zowie mouse.
This is the loadout I've been running again the Automatons lately. Halt Shotgun, Stim pistol, Thermites, and Heavy armor with the med kit passive. For strategems I bring the Eagle strafing run, The AMR, the jump pack, and the rocket sentry. Booster I usually bring the Experimental infusion, but if someone already took it just bring what fits best. Let me know what you think of this load out.
You always seem surprised about the typf of enemies you face in your videos. Eravin and other UA-camrs have done videos on enemy constellations and what to expect on what missions. I think it could really help you.
I think if I learned exactly what planets spawn what I'd end up subconsciously just picking what's easier 😅 I like the surprises, with that being said I'll probably watch that at some point
Imo Blitzer and Purifier are the most overrated weapons right now. Blitzer offers nice quality of life by keeping enemies away from you without the need for reloads. But its rate of fire and its limited range just gimps its horde clearing ability way too hard. Purifier makes an ammo backpack mandatory if you dont wanna run out of ammo all the time. So many reloads... And its charged shot damage is somehow really inconsistant. Its good against Bots but vs Bugs its quite bad. Crossbow - MG-43/Stalwart - Thermites - 500kg - Orbital Gas - Jump Pack - 2 nades and recoil reduction armor (scout armor when i play with an AT buddy) and any secondary i feel like has become my nobrainer build vs Bugs.
Honestly, the limited range on the blitzer is its biggest downfall here, you have the basis of a great kiting build and it's not really able to do much because of Blitzer's limited range simply due to how easy it is to close the gap for most bugs. That and the slower fire rate means it's going to struggle in those "oh shit" type scenarios where you REALLY need something that can actually fire fast when stuff starts closing in on you.
How people play solo helldive and don't bring the stamina booster is beyond me, you literally will be running and dodging more than shooting and people just bring respawn pod ammo with and unlimited ammo primary 😭
I’ve used this build for super helldive and it’s worked out pretty well. Primary - crossbow Secondary - redeemer Grenade - thermite Stratagems - arc thrower - orbital gas strike - jump pack - 500KG bomb Arc thrower can control bug breaches on its own and the crossbow just gets everything else done the thermite is good for heavy armour, works well with arc throwers stun
Tbf, the crossbow isn’t great at all when things get close range, it’s just it over shines so much in every other scenario, and closes bug holes/fabricators, also destroys a lot of the bug “buildings”
Get the light armor that reduces explosion dmg by 50%. All I’ve been using is the crossbow. It’s just too good compared to other weapons. Biggest downfall was accidently blowing myself up when bugs are too close. However, the armor will literally give you a second chance from this. Run it with recoiless, napalm barrage, 500kg, cluster bomb and dagger. Dagger is actually pretty good against small bugs and shriekers since the crossbow will struggle with streakers.
@@awildgrendel7148 Instead of taking the explosion armor I ALWAYS go for the 50% chance to survive death armor I'm not joking this is THE BEST armor in the game, the amount of times this armor has saved me in many situations is nuts
17:32 best argument for nerfing the crossbow. it overshadows every other weapon, to the point where not having it feels bad, even if you're doing fine in reality
@@ippanpedrozo1162 then theres no challenge unless you buff enemies to counter act how op we'd be, which would make enemies unfun to fight and then more complaining would happen, so easiest thing to do is just slightly nerf crossbow
@@vanityvx. The enemies absolutely need to be buffed. Bug front is a joke that can be beaten by anything without any problems. Having strong guns is cool, but we need enemies that justify having strong guns, otherwise the game would be boring.
I think it's really good, but I think you loadout doesn't complement it well. I'd seitch out the jumppack and commando for a recoilless and a machinegun sentry. This way you can abuse the bitzers stagger to hold your ground and let the sentry dish out damage. Snd then keep the sentry safe using the recoilless as needed.
It's times like this where I wish you could find more primary weapons on the map. To be honest I didn't even know you could find them until the other day I saw a liberator at a POI.
IMO, The blitzer's rate of fire is too slow to be s tier for high level bugs. Especially when you're on a map with a bunch of hunters and little dudes rushing you non-stop.
Hi, did the Blitzer got any changes within the 60 Days patchseries? I played around with it earlier, it was okay cc wise and cause it has infinite ammo, but didnt liked it against flying enemies and the dmg felt allways a bit to low.
31:18 the napalm was a flop because of how they’ve coded the pouncer and Hunter “pounce animation.”

So it drags the breeches out further than expected and that is why everything was pulled free from the napalm and it flopped.
I've been noticing their lock ONS recently specially with the jump pack, and it's kind of a bummer :/
That thermite on the spore charger tickled your toe and killed you with the burning (helldivers can't take the power of the THERMITE'S 2000 DMG)
Bro if you're getting ~1k kills in 40min I don't think stealth armor is the set 4 you. Grenade armor gives +2 thermites

Personally, it's either this or the crossbow for beat primary. For someone on console anyway
Try out the stalwart as a support weapon, its really good against the swarms.
Crossbow is absolute dumpster fire tier when swarmed by lots of fast movers. The AMR is my fav for both enemy factions.

I know it takes two shots to take down bile titans but the commando has such a short cooldown you could've saved a few 500kg's.
At 33:00 your fate was sealed the moment you didn't melee this Hunter's leap 13 seconds later.
Can you PLEASE try the breaker spray and pray? It’s so good
You always seem surprised about the typf of enemies you face in your videos.
Eravin and other UA-camrs have done videos on enemy constellations and what to expect on what missions.
I think it could really help you.
Sounds like the perfect videos to put me to sleep
I think if I learned exactly what planets spawn what I'd end up subconsciously just picking what's easier 😅
I like the surprises, with that being said I'll probably watch that at some point
Imo Blitzer and Purifier are the most overrated weapons right now.
Blitzer offers nice quality of life by keeping enemies away from you without the need for reloads. But its rate of fire and its limited range just gimps its horde clearing ability way too hard.
Purifier makes an ammo backpack mandatory if you dont wanna run out of ammo all the time. So many reloads... And its charged shot damage is somehow really inconsistant. Its good against Bots but vs Bugs its quite bad.
Crossbow - MG-43/Stalwart - Thermites - 500kg - Orbital Gas - Jump Pack - 2 nades and recoil reduction armor (scout armor when i play with an AT buddy) and any secondary i feel like has become my nobrainer build vs Bugs.
Jesus Christ that is frantic
Honestly, the limited range on the blitzer is its biggest downfall here, you have the basis of a great kiting build and it's not really able to do much because of Blitzer's limited range simply due to how easy it is to close the gap for most bugs. That and the slower fire rate means it's going to struggle in those "oh shit" type scenarios where you REALLY need something that can actually fire fast when stuff starts closing in on you.
I'm curious about this tier list. What channel is it on?
How people play solo helldive and don't bring the stamina booster is beyond me, you literally will be running and dodging more than shooting and people just bring respawn pod ammo with and unlimited ammo primary 😭
Definitely A tier for bugs, the time between shots can suck when you are swarmed. Sucks against the shriekers. Bots? Forget about it.
I’ve used this build for super helldive and it’s worked out pretty well.
Primary - crossbow
Secondary - redeemer
Grenade - thermite
Stratagems
- arc thrower
- orbital gas strike
- jump pack
- 500KG bomb
Arc thrower can control bug breaches on its own and the crossbow just gets everything else done the thermite is good for heavy armour, works well with arc throwers stun
use a laser guard dog with the Blitzer against the bugs. Night and day difference.
Tbf, the crossbow isn’t great at all when things get close range, it’s just it over shines so much in every other scenario, and closes bug holes/fabricators, also destroys a lot of the bug “buildings”
you're supposed to kill things before they get close + thats why you have a secondary open to have anything.
That's why you have a secondary hehe
Get the light armor that reduces explosion dmg by 50%. All I’ve been using is the crossbow. It’s just too good compared to other weapons. Biggest downfall was accidently blowing myself up when bugs are too close. However, the armor will literally give you a second chance from this. Run it with recoiless, napalm barrage, 500kg, cluster bomb and dagger. Dagger is actually pretty good against small bugs and shriekers since the crossbow will struggle with streakers.
@@awildgrendel7148 Instead of taking the explosion armor I ALWAYS go for the 50% chance to survive death armor
I'm not joking this is THE BEST armor in the game, the amount of times this armor has saved me in many situations is nuts
@@awildgrendel7148reducing explosion damage is nice, but then you get ragdolled and killed by the rest of the enemies you dont explode
17:32 best argument for nerfing the crossbow. it overshadows every other weapon, to the point where not having it feels bad, even if you're doing fine in reality
nah we've been over this, stop nerfing, just buff the underperformers
@@ippanpedrozo1162 then theres no challenge unless you buff enemies to counter act how op we'd be, which would make enemies unfun to fight and then more complaining would happen, so easiest thing to do is just slightly nerf crossbow
@@declicitous1763 like he said the crossbow doesn't need a nerf the other guns are just underperforming. The enemies also don't need a buff.
@@vanityvx. The enemies absolutely need to be buffed. Bug front is a joke that can be beaten by anything without any problems. Having strong guns is cool, but we need enemies that justify having strong guns, otherwise the game would be boring.
It's good but it's slow and you're left without a shrieker option
Link to the podcast please?
Blitzer is 10/10 if you run around like a lunatic
27:20 Incoming jumpscare
Blitzer is amazing vs pouncer lol
How did you get your recticle to be green?
I think it's really good, but I think you loadout doesn't complement it well. I'd seitch out the jumppack and commando for a recoilless and a machinegun sentry. This way you can abuse the bitzers stagger to hold your ground and let the sentry dish out damage. Snd then keep the sentry safe using the recoilless as needed.
Also never let go of the shooting button when using the blitzer
Its freedom time🎉
how do you guys go that far in jet pack. my guy just barely jumps
Why are you not picking up samples?
Blitzer is A or B tier for me. It's definitely on the usable side, but enough downsides from being S tier
Ive never used any electrical weapon, I think im missing out.
It'S NOT infinite ammo but Scorcher really trumps over everything.
Wait, my jump pack doesnt go that far, how to boost it ?
It's times like this where I wish you could find more primary weapons on the map. To be honest I didn't even know you could find them until the other day I saw a liberator at a POI.
can the blitzer stop the stalkers on track?
edit: nvm it does
how do I deal with shriekers for this loadout
The Blitzer is useless against shriekers. The cookout however...
IMO, The blitzer's rate of fire is too slow to be s tier for high level bugs. Especially when you're on a map with a bunch of hunters and little dudes rushing you non-stop.
Hi, did the Blitzer got any changes within the 60 Days patchseries? I played around with it earlier, it was okay cc wise and cause it has infinite ammo, but didnt liked it against flying enemies and the dmg felt allways a bit to low.
If u take a guard dog rover it's really great
It felt better imo before the 60 day patch. It's reload is slower now, but it has more stun.
And as secondary I'm using the quasar cannon and I never had any issues
Bzapper is only S-Tier with laser buddy.
Have you played darktide? Loving it atm, more than sm2 and hd2. Melee and ranged combat is so weighty and satisfying
Link to the tier list?
your termite burned you to death
