One of the coolest parts about helldivers to me is the fact you never get asked to name your character just your ship since every time you die you come back as a completely different person so there would be no point it really makes you feel like you are just a cog in a machine a nameless background soldier
Actually, aren’t the cryopods you come out of in your destroyer actually holding your clones? The ones that drop in to replace “you” when you die on the battlefield? 🤔
@@chrisrarc Nope. Every helldiver you play as is a different person with a whole life and family back home that they left so they could be immediately snipped by a turret 0.1 seconds after dropping into a bot planet. The reason you have the same gear everytime is because every "reinforcement" helldiver on the ship gets the same gear and stratagems the previous captain unlocked. Confirmed by the devs btw. And yes, in a few weeks of war we have lost a whole 200+ million people. Mostly 18 year olds.

I will command a great and terrible army, and we will sail to a billion worlds. We will sail until every light has been extinguished. You are strong, child, but I am beyond strength. I am the end, and I have come for you, Finn." -the lich, adventure time Adventure time was crazy man
@@nap0038 there will never be another like it, no matter how much cartoon network tries to copy its artstyle, i only fear they will bring it back and ruin it one day
@@greedy_mf as long as the original show isn’t tampered with, like altering episodes, it can never be ruined. All of the spin-off and continuation stuff has been amazing too, and much more tuned towards a mature audience. Even if they did continue the original show, they can’t take away what was already there.
I like to think the automaton levels are an anti-war message because of the way they traumatize the player when they are met with a real opponent instead of a random bug.
I can say that that hard ass line is indeed from adventure time. The speech of the lich in the prison also begins with him saying "Fall" and then the main character falls powerless to the ground blind. We don't talk about what happens when the speech ends.
I just noticed that since respawns in this game are actually reinforcements you're not bringing back your character. You're sending someone else to replace the dead one, therefore you're indeed sending more people to the meat grinder.
Impact nades genuinely help a lot against bots. Can mess up shield devatstators, rocket guys, the scout striders/walkers, wipe out entire infatry bot squads with a couple of throws, etc.
They need a few more options. Maybe a localized EMP that shoots out a cone that does the same thing as the EMP mortar, but last longer to compensate for the risk and encourage use.
Alternatively... just use the right gear. Also don't fight the Bots like you fight the Bugs. They shoot back, Bugs don't. I actually find Bots easier to fight compared to Bugs.
Hey, some of those bugs aren't bugs! The mech showing up damaged happens because it can be hit by enemies while the ship is flying in and dropping it. Sometimes the bots just blow it up before it even arrives (the mech blowing itself up is a bug, and has been fixed (again)). And the corpses sinking into the ground is intentional, to prevent them blocking objectives and stuff and softlocking the game.
What I like is that with bugs you’re more in the open and going in guns blazing but with the bots you have to be more calculated and actually find good cover before engaging certain enemies or groups.
now that rocket damage is no longer a one shot they are much more manageable besides the new fliers. but i agree the cover is vital and makes them much more interesting. unfortunately besides points of interest the world generation doesn't give alot of good cover options besides rocks at best, at worst trees and bushes you can't see but they can see you and light you up. that ontop of getting head shot randomly should not be a thing for a pve game, especially when that means you lose your support weapon and are but defenseless the medium and up enemies on respawn. hoping there will be new world land scapes in the future but not expecting anything for a while.
@@thetechna-gamerif shield guy didn’t see you, even slugger will deal with him in one shot to a shiny red eyes. But when he walk at you firing - you better have autocannon to stagger him and destroy no matter where it strikes.
@@MsBastard91 indeed, you need to aim a little to hit his exposed part to stun him with punisher/slugger , where's auto cannon is just a big fuck you. Also sucks that slugger and scorcher are pretty far into the warbond , the weapons that make automatons actually fun since they can reliably kill everything. Except I think slugger can't shoot the mortar emplacement vents, where the scorcher can
Fall! You are alone, child. There is only darkness for you, and only death for your people. These ancients are just the beginning. I will command a great and terrible army, and we will sail to a billion worlds. We will sail until every light has been extinguished. You are strong, child, but I am beyond strength.

The trick to bots is literally stealth. If you get attacked, more often than not its better to run away and flank them once they've lost sight of you...
That prayer on the western side of the war is something we all go through when we're surrounded with bots. Also that Pacific Rim ost on 8:42, always appreciated.
I just know the mech bugs will become defective mechs and mech munitions in the Helldivers story canon. That is such awesome ass covering. It just works.
fr autocannon is so good against them with the downside of not having a shield backpack meaning rockets can oneshot you, but as long as you got cover its beautiful or the new quasar cannon is also great plus can take the shield with it
@@mrmcjeff385 I actually haven’t been one shot by the rockets in the longest time, I’m not sure if it’s the fortified perk or not but even without it I’ve survived direct hits from rockets
As someone who only plays against bots, I can confirm it is pure, raw, FUN AND HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT!! No but jokes aside, I like playing against bots at difficulty 7-9 because I love the PTSD.
As an Xbox citizen of Super Earth, I commend all the work you Helldivers have done for us. I hope to dive in a Hellpod alongside you one day. FOR LIBERTY! FOR DEMOCRACY! FOR SUPER EARTH!
so quick bonus tip for you that i really think you need to know, "WHEN YOU GET RAGDOLLED, DONT GET UP, STIM FIRST, you have a smaller hitbox while lying down to them"
Huh? It's not possible to stim while ragdolled. The first thing you do when ragdolled is always get up. AFAIK, you have zero control over your character and will *always* stand up first before you're able to do literally anything else. You can be prone, get barely nudged by an explosion, and you have to stand up before you can lay back down.
@@recruitlegionary5552 No, you *are* wrong. I specifically tested this in-game to make sure I wasn't missing anything, as if 200 hours wasn't enough. I've also never seen any evidence of this in videos, and I've never heard anyone ever give it out as a tip. Genuine question, have you played the game?
not really if you consider not everyone is catholic and i don't think that people who aren't catholic would memorize something that isn't relevant to their life
Having fought the Bots more than the bugs, it’s definitely a different experience. The best way I can put it is that the bots have a learning cliff then plateau, while the bugs have a much better balanced skill curve
Helldivers’ positioning requirements against bugs: anywhere but surrounded by them Helldivers’ positioning requirements against automatons: remain behind cover, peeking only when it’s safe to do so while making sure not to get flanked as well as finding a way to deal with the tanks while you’re there + around 50 other things as well
Hell, the bugs are easier than that. You can get away with being surrounded and running straight through them just fine, as long as there aren't any that inflict slow in that mass. And the bots are even worse than that, since sometimes the client/server desync is insane, so you can't even always count on the cover to work.
Hey zanny I doubt you’ll see this bc I bet in 10 minutes there will 10000 comments probably talking about deep rock or ratio or the evening swan but I just wanted to say thank you for always being my favorite UA-camr a lot of stuff has already happened going on this year and I’ve already felt like giving up but thanks to you always making me smile and laugh and be glued into my screen waiting for a new episode honestly you and your friends helped me so much and this year has just started so hopefully you see this thank you again and ROCK AND STONEEEEE
the bots are still super fun! you just have to approach them differently and more strategically. the big shield guys can be taken down with two headshots from a rifle for example
I find that the punisher shotgun kills the shield devastators real good, last time I used it on them it made them pop there shield up in the air allowing you to shoot them constantly without them being able to shoot you because they are stuck in a stagger lock
for the bots, use explosive damage reduction. use LOTS of cover. cheese fights with cover if you have to, communication is key. A build i usually run would be the following: Scorcher - THIS THING IS OP against bots. you can take tanks out, turrets out by shooting the weak point of them. it's also good on damage and can be a really good solo play enabler. if you don't have the scorcher, the sickle is really good, if you can maintain the heat and are good at being able to head shot the devastators you can really help support your team. Stratagems i'd recommend : Shield pack (yes it's still good even though it was nerfed to high hell) - helps prevent one shots. Arc thrower - infinite ammo can kill anything no matter where you shoot it. Auto cannon - yes it's good against most things, yes it requires you lose your back pack, but if shield pack isn't available this is the next best thing. Orbital laser - THIS can save you in any fight. this can take down a whole ass bot outpost if it targets the right things in the time it stays up. this can also help with extraction. 380mm orbital bombardment - this can take down a whole heavy facility (provided the rng helps) These are the stratagems i always find myself using against the bots. Armor would be anything heavy or anything with the bonus of 30% explosive reduction. All this enables you to do is survive longer, not become the juggernaut but to find a better position if need be to handle the issue at hand. Also, never travel alone, most times bots are a pain without a buddy to be there beside you, they might be able to handle things you can't by yourself, they can also provide potential distractions for hulks, tanks, and turrets so you can shoot their weak spot and destroy them. Extras i'd recommend: Auto pistol (because every other side arm kinda just sucks.) Impact, or high explosive. Impact because it's excellent at dealing with mob mentality the robots have close range. high explosive to deal with bot manufacturer buildings. The only thing i'd recommend against is the exosuit. like 0 USE. why? the amount of rockets the bots use on higher difficulty is just down right ridiculous, most times you will die before you even use all the ammo, never use this. with only 2 uses, you'd be best to swap this with the orbital laser, or any air strike that covers a wide area. Get out there and spread democracy.
I prefer the armor that gives you 50% chance to survive. For the simple reason is that unlike the explosive damage reduction armor that wont save you from any of the actual explosives that armor gives you a chance to survive even headshots. Also, heavy armor drastically slows you down and reduces your stamina regeneration which makes it a lot harder to get to cover since armor values kinda do not really matter much.
@@TankHunter678 there is medium armor that gives the 30% explosive resistance, it's on the super store and you can get with super credits. can also farm super credits very easily. Yeah the 50% is a chance to prevent death but your health is literally 1 shot (most times i've had it save me) and usually with the swarm of bots this means i'm usually dead shortly after from a hail of laser fire, along with rockets. Heavy armor is, OK but yeah the stamina kinda sucks but it prevents 1 shots better IMO then 50% because 30% guaranteed reduction vs a coin toss is just better. because you can always lose the coin toss more then ever lose the 30%.
@@Danjor0613 if the revolver had more ammo and the reload was a little faster i'd consider it. other then that i still believe auto pistol is better due to how fast and how much you can shoot in a tight spot.
i go to a catholic high school and half the class plays helldivers. surprisingly we're willing to explore hell which we follow the religion simply to avoid going to
Been fighting the bots too long... It's gotten to the point that I have a hard time fighting the bugs now... So used to it. The explosions. The chaos. The death. You just get so used to fighting an enemy, that they become the only thing you're good at killing. Guess I'm a Ranger. Chose Automatons as my Favored Enemy. Spill oil.
The only stratagems I technically have memorized iare the reinforce and eagle airstrike, but whenever I need a familiar stratagem they're muscle memory. This game has merged with my subconscious.

Scorcher - THIS THING IS OP against bots. you can take tanks out, turrets out by shooting the weak point of them. it's also good on damage and can be a really good solo play enabler.
if you don't have the scorcher, the sickle is really good, if you can maintain the heat and are good at being able to head shot the devastators you can really help support your team.
Stratagems i'd recommend :
Shield pack (yes it's still good even though it was nerfed to high hell) - helps prevent one shots.
Arc thrower - infinite ammo can kill anything no matter where you shoot it.
Auto cannon - yes it's good against most things, yes it requires you lose your back pack, but if shield pack isn't available this is the next best thing.
Orbital laser - THIS can save you in any fight. this can take down a whole ass bot outpost if it targets the right things in the time it stays up. this can also help with extraction.
380mm orbital bombardment - this can take down a whole heavy facility (provided the rng helps)
These are the stratagems i always find myself using against the bots.
Armor would be anything heavy or anything with the bonus of 30% explosive reduction. All this enables you to do is survive longer, not become the juggernaut but to find a better position if need be to handle the issue at hand. Also, never travel alone, most times bots are a pain without a buddy to be there beside you, they might be able to handle things you can't by yourself, they can also provide potential distractions for hulks, tanks, and turrets so you can shoot their weak spot and destroy them.
Extras i'd recommend:
Auto pistol (because every other side arm kinda just sucks.)
Impact, or high explosive. Impact because it's excellent at dealing with mob mentality the robots have close range. high explosive to deal with bot manufacturer buildings.
The only thing i'd recommend against is the exosuit. like 0 USE. why? the amount of rockets the bots use on higher difficulty is just down right ridiculous, most times you will die before you even use all the ammo, never use this. with only 2 uses, you'd be best to swap this with the orbital laser, or any air strike that covers a wide area.
Get out there and spread democracy.
I prefer the armor that gives you 50% chance to survive. For the simple reason is that unlike the explosive damage reduction armor that wont save you from any of the actual explosives that armor gives you a chance to survive even headshots. Also, heavy armor drastically slows you down and reduces your stamina regeneration which makes it a lot harder to get to cover since armor values kinda do not really matter much.
FS23, autocannon, and SC30 have never failed me
Revolver is my preferred sidearm against bots since it can penetrate armor better then then smg pistol.
@@TankHunter678 there is medium armor that gives the 30% explosive resistance, it's on the super store and you can get with super credits. can also farm super credits very easily. Yeah the 50% is a chance to prevent death but your health is literally 1 shot (most times i've had it save me) and usually with the swarm of bots this means i'm usually dead shortly after from a hail of laser fire, along with rockets. Heavy armor is, OK but yeah the stamina kinda sucks but it prevents 1 shots better IMO then 50% because 30% guaranteed reduction vs a coin toss is just better. because you can always lose the coin toss more then ever lose the 30%.
@@Danjor0613 if the revolver had more ammo and the reload was a little faster i'd consider it. other then that i still believe auto pistol is better due to how fast and how much you can shoot in a tight spot.
I love that he just randomly start praying😂
1:04 WOAH!!! with the hard R?!
10:33 idk why but rock paper grenade is hilarious 😂
7:07 I AUDIBLY SCREAMED "NOOO"
6:23 a catholic Helldiver is something I didn't think could exist.
i go to a catholic high school and half the class plays helldivers. surprisingly we're willing to explore hell which we follow the religion simply to avoid going to
Should've been praying to liberty smh
St. Michael the Archangel ora pro nobis ✝️⚔️
At 14:40 zanny got shot by a blue beam and that is why his mech got destroyed
The blue beams are not real.
- Ministry of Truth
Yup. Saw someone get randomly toasted in a bot mission by one of those beams. The dude literally raged quit the moment his stuff all hit the ground.
@@Magus_Union lol poor guy
The way her says Clanker with the hard R had me in tears!
Congrats to the editor ! Was even better edited than usual
I cannot get enough of dune 2 memes bro they’re so good
4:39 zanny drops the cleanest transition and acts like we wouldn't notice.
Zanny just being a war chaplain to make this man survive 😂 6:52
Been fighting the bots too long... It's gotten to the point that I have a hard time fighting the bugs now... So used to it. The explosions. The chaos. The death. You just get so used to fighting an enemy, that they become the only thing you're good at killing. Guess I'm a Ranger. Chose Automatons as my Favored Enemy. Spill oil.
Bro, I love that the new black suit theme from Spider-Man 2 kicks in at 16:48 when their fighting the big bug. That score is epic!
Solar cooked with that song. Let him drop the Album 🔥🔥🔥
Bugs: *starship troopers noises*
Bots: Warning your in range of enemy artillery
That “Chad Charger” moment…and I truly lost my s^^t 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The only stratagems I technically have memorized iare the reinforce and eagle airstrike, but whenever I need a familiar stratagem they're muscle memory. This game has merged with my subconscious.
1:00 was not expecting zanny to use the hard R there
I’m a Helldiver and I can confirm that I did indeed say “Hell yeah!” as I drank a nice warm cup of Liber-Tea
i am so here for the zanny helldivers/witcher attention split
“Tanalorr is Mines!”
S-Tier reference right there.
Yeah, im pretty glued to this game right now. Its the most fun ive had grinding and trying out different things in a long while
you stepped on an explosive plant at 14:39 with your mech, it's powerful enough to take down a whole squad if you're too close to it
Hearing zanny yell "CLANKA" was something i didn't know i needed
Lost my brother fighting the automatons 73 hours ago, i havent been able to move since but zanny posting revived me.
18:44 petition for Zanny to bring back singing. Its been missed
1:06 Bruh, with the hard "R" dawg?
"CLANKERS!!!!" Damn i felt that one 😂😂😂😂😂
8:00 yes, he was saying…
maybe the real helldivers 2 were the friends we killed along the way
SES Whisper of the People here, I commend zanny fo promoting the helldiver fleet.
May liberty and God be on your side fellow helldivers.
18:07 But no one is asking about the Bile Hunter... Titan...
We've all seen how far they jump sometimes helldivers!
Zanny with the bugs: Yay, the game is fun
Zanny with the robots: Where is the fun? I lost the fun
