from what i hear being a good driver is as simple as keeping it in default gear. when you ramp it up you WILL crash and it's plenty fast enough in first. can't remember the video i was watching but shoutout to whoever that info came from. lol
@@jakewilferd6093 Yeah I found keeping it in Drive which I guess is auto works for me, then it just changes gears Automatically! Thanks for the comment!
Yea i ran into the best driver ive seen yet. Dudes name was ryan gosling hell driver and he singlehandedly managed to keep his rfv alive the entire level 10 bot mission.
@friendlyfire3412 Yeah that's for sure, I noticed when he was driving how he slowed down at the right moments, makes a big difference, so yeah totally agree!
It's hard to control when just slamming the gas like in most games, same goes for left or right. So it can be fast and manouverable, but takes a bit of skill to achieve this, which is really god
Depends on the map. Trivial ones are the best ones to farm on because the map is smaller, so depending on the terrain (and the driver skill), it might be faster just to jetpack with light armor on. Pro-tip: on hilly terrain drive it in 1st gear. It's slower but much more maneuverable, so less of a hassle to drive.
@@Geckogold However on level 2-3 difficulty because it is a larger map there are more spawn locations. Most of the time it increases your chances of SC spawning. Most of the time you can get around with the jet pack quite quickly. But the car is still faster.
@@Brodrich I agree, the higher difficulty maps are larger with some more POI's. But they also start having enemy bases that you now have to avoid. Not that they'd be hard to kill, of course. But when I'm farming SC's, I want to spend all my time running to POI's, and avoiding as much fighting as possible. And the smaller trivial maps makes it really easy to hit them all fairly fast without needing a vehicle and hoping the terrain is favorable. I've recently learned that instead of completing the mission, you can simply abandon it after you hit all the POI's, and can do a trivial in as little as 4 minutes solo, or about 2 minutes if partnered with someone and you guys run opposite corners, marking out bunkers so that you know where to go to open them.
I drove my team around like this earlier today and IT FELT AWESOME. This game is such a gem for these cinematic, adrenaline/testosterone fueled moments 💯
@FatalShotGG Yeah it feels great, so many cinematic moments, this game has to be one of the best for just some unique moments that's for sure, thanks for the comment!
@@PiggiiesStilar I mean there's some similarities, but it very obviously is drawn from things like 1984. And again, it's not getting Americanized with left driver side cars. The Swedes use those. Stockholm is literally Super Earth's capital.
Fun fact about around 0:25, the boxes seen there at that entrance can be destroyed if you build up enough speed: Worth noting in case any of you all have to get out through one of those!
Seems like normal driving to me. But then I have to remember that not flipping the car instantly on a bit of rock because you decided to floor it *IS* what passes for good driving.
As a good driver myself who loves the drifting, I would really love for you guys on the sits to NOT SHOOT when you aren’t on the gun, it is very easy for you guys to kill one of you or even the driver so just sit calm and do nothing.
@stitchperlo9639 Great point! Drifting can be chaotic, and stray bullets are a real risk. If you're not on the gun, keeping your weapons holstered is best to avoid accidents. Thanks for the reminder to keep things safe while we enjoy the ride!
as that one guy back in halo 3 days who was basically a warthog taxi for teammates AND enemies, rest assured I get my squad where they need to be with this FRV
@tatooinestar Yeah I was wondering if there was a horn, I didn't hear it in this one, I thought I heard "Swap" a few times, so you can tell other players to swap positions?
If only there was a park gear shift, so the jeep doesn't slide down any slope steeper than half a degree and end up having the gunner position obscured by a big rock.
@keithadams7619 Yes I was thinking that, it does get annoying when you park on a slight slope and it rolls down slowly, I was wondering if you use the brake when you get out wether it stays on, ill have to test it!
Call me an idiot but when I attempted to drive the “Puma” for the first time I had no idea how the steering was supposed to work. I just kept driving into walls without really figuring it out.
the FRV isnt as difficult to handle as u may think. just dont slam the gas, and b sure u make use of the stick shift. will say tho uneven terrain makes it prone to getting stuck if ur not careful
I became the designated driver for my friends. I am apparently the only one of the group that doesn't drive the thing like ass, and maintains control over it.
@moonshinetheleocat1235 Haha nice! Yeah I can imagine, a lot of people have issues driving the FRV, they can get a bit excited or things going on around them probably don't help! It does take a lot of self-control as well.
Tip: DO NOT TAKE THE DRIVERS PASSENGER SPOT, that is the only way an actual good driver can swap seats to in order to stim pistol his passengers OR use a support weapon. What 90% of people ARENT doing, is swapping seats to unload a support weapon, then swapping back to reload WHILE DRIVING.
They nailed it. Its fast, its fun, its challenging to drive. Also i had no crashed or performance drop while using it (the cities are dofferent story tho, im down to 30 fps from 120 💀)
@skiper7795 They sure did I have been using it heaps since this video, very nice to drive and getting used to it now, probably done about 15 missions with it so far!
I like the camera work you did haha I could tell this was done on the playstation video editing app because I have made videos like this where I text type out what I am thinking
@SoundlessScream Thanks! Yep this was on share factory Studio PS5. Depending on the type of video I'm doing I swap between that, and Clipchamp on the PC, genrally the shorter ones I do on PS5, as well as if they are PS5 games, and longer vids I do on the PC, especially if I am doing a PC game. Also I get to do more complex stuff on my desktop ofcourse!
@kristoferhalim858 Ah, yes this opens a can of worms, I think (hope) they will add different weapons options, as yes like you say it's a technical, so yeah recoilless would be nice, or an EAT\Commando mount like a tow maybe...
Dude were you not paying attention to the people leaning out the doors to shoot? Grab a Recoilless rifle yourself and BECOME the AT turret. (Yes you can shoot and reload ANY weapon from the passenger seats for driveby AT.)
Still, it would give some variation and maybe new type of gameplay ( speaking from actual military service in the indonesian army, altough only as reserve )
I hate when people pull up to me and start honking. first of all they usually run me over. Secondly they waste so much time waiting for people to get in and just honking when people don't want to get in that they almost always get hit by a harvester and kill the entire team. They just sit there basically pressuring people to get in so the driver can play and everybody else gets to sit and watch. Then bam, everybody dead and respawns without their gear and basically it turns into panic cluster strike team kill death loops. or I'm waiting to get my gear and someone just waits at me with the car despite me going the opposite direction to complete objectives. then they just keep camping me. or i get out of the car and they have to reverse and wait by me and again usually get hit by a harvester. I wish people would just drive and do their own thing and if people are running towards you, maybe pick them up then. otherwise I generally wish I could complete 1 mission without getting teamkilled because somebody sprints at me full speed to call a 380mm orbital barrage directly on my position to help me clear the 1 enemy left. Or 1 mission without someone running me over when i'm using a jetpack to get away from them as fast as possible. especially in mechs when they try to snipe support me and just blast me consantly and when i manage to survive that because i'm entirely speced to be heavy armor explosive resistance because i specifically knew they'd do that, they get in to cover me and just stomp on me. "Whoops sorry didn't mean to whoops how was i supposed to know you'd walk through the only entrance not my fault" or people throwing 380mm orbitals on the drop ship for the exit style not realizing nobody is on yet and 50 samples in light armor are now going to die because they target helldivers first.
I understand your frustration with reckless FRV drivers in Helldivers 2. It's important for drivers to only stop for willing passengers, avoid honking excessively, and not camp players focused on objectives. Passengers should signal if they don't need a ride, and teams need better communication to avoid friendly fire mishaps, especially with heavy ordnance. Thanks for the comment, sounds like you have had many issues with the FRV!
@navarog378 Yeah it's definitely my game of the year, its an amazing game, especially with all the extra content you get! I wonder how long it will last
