the breaker incendiary is SICK vs bots cuz you can erase every patrol of lil guys you see from pretty far in a few shots and still take down devs when you need to but ofc you've gotta bring an auto cannon/laser cannon/hmg/AMR to use against medium (and heavy) stuff. it can be part of a crazy good build cuz you run into so many situations where there's tons of lil guys who can flare or just overwhelm you and taking them out as quickly as the incendiary can makes space to deal with everything else. also it debuffs devestators
i can maybe understand the breaker incendiary being not amazing since it cant even get through their armor but somehow it was more effective than the flamethrower and napalm strike
yeah man that thing was wrecking devastators. i dont use either guard dog though because i just dont like them to be honest i prefer jump pack. i only used the bullet one because id heard so many people say it was awful but im guessing they are referring to its ammo limits?
@@terralogan7 it's also best to consider that the opinion on balance may come from a bias of fighting bugs. considering most people just fight bugs all the time.
@gpheonix1 Couldn't be any more true. i could list so many weapons which are good vs bugs but bad vs bots. However i could not do the same with good against bots but bad against bots. Maybe sniper rifle stuff but theres really not many
The music becoming significantly louder each time a force of automatons appeared gave me serious Zanny vibes and was way funnier than it probably should have been.
glad im not the only one who thinks its funny. i rewatched those parts whilst editing for some reason lmao. Also do not compare me to such a glorious man
Incendiary breaker is amazing vs bots, completely shreds the little guys and berzerkers. Use a support stratagem weapon to kill heavies. Couple the incin breaker with the HMG or AMR or AC, and you have one of the best loadouts in the game.
I generally just don't like shotguns vs the bots. I prefer the range and the accuracy of other weapons. The breaker incendiary was definitely better than I thought it'd be vs bots since I assumed fire wouldn't do much but I still prefer other weapons
It's funniest when you think its working but then some random thing comes in and fucks up everything. Even funnier when that thing is something that's normally easy to deal with
Go for the piss tactic, anything that shoots a yellow ray of piss; use it. The Sythe, the pistol, the backpack, hell I'll permit the orbital lazer and the giant lazer special weapon.
Dagger is actually really good against the bots though. you can hit backpacks without even trying usually resulting in multikill explosions and the bots poor health with an easily hit weakpoint making killing them a breeze. Did I meantion it has infinite ammo as long as you dont expend the whole mag- perfect accuracy, no recoil, infinte range, and IS HITSCAN!
Regular Guard Dog is underrated. That's not to say it's good, but like anything in this game it's useful when used properly and vs bots is using it properly.
the guard dogs typically aim for torso's on bots and heads on bugs but not on purpose thats just the height where the weapon rests when firing. The liberator variant also has higher dps and melts hunter and devastators....... until it has to reload of course 😞
Yeah I noticed it shreds the devestators but honestly I just dont like guard dogs in general especially when I can just bring jump pack. I only used it because I heard so many people trash talk the bullet guard dog but it's actually not bad
if you shoot the head its actually not bad against the odd devastator but its not like that makes it amazing, because the handling is so good i find it pretty decent at that
@@wingnutmcmoomoo494 might sound weird but im so used to having recoil that i actually finding it harder to aim the piss pistol because its so dead on accurate
the dagger laser pistol can kill devastators in little over half a second if you can keep the beam on their head. Although i wouldn't bring it to the bot front without a ballistic shield. Any kind of heat damage is also good for instantly popping the small backpack bots(the jumping ones and machinegun ones) so raking them with the tiny laser and instantly exploding them is hilarious.
yeah i realised that some of this stuff worked better than i imagined it would, still not the best but definitely not awful. next time i do something like this i need to research the truly worst weapons to reach peak dysfunctional helldiver gaming
@@terralogan7 Could look into the following: the Senator revolver waaas intended as "more cool than functional" according to a Pilestedt video released shortly after launch. But it's definitely functional, especially with the addition of an autoloader. I assume the "Premium" Knight SMG is also intended to be a joke/cool-factor weapon if you want to look into that Paid DLC. Then there's the Liberator jungle carbine but if you use burst fire then the recoil doesn't prevent you from getting quick close range headshots but i think i could still call it sub-optimal. Maybe the spray&pray? It used to have 1 armor pen unlike the 2 armor pen the standard rifles have so it's not as bad nowadays. But i imagine it's going to be solidly awful against any distant targets on the automaton front.
@@johannhawk8471see the spray and pray was the first thing that came into mind but I figured it wouldn't be very interesting since everyone already knows the spray and pray is a disgrace to democracy. I did use the senator once. Actually pretty fun I just think it could do with more damage.
just to clarify by worst weapons i mean specifically for the automatons. thats why im using breaker incendiary
the breaker incendiary is actually good against automatons, I would have used the liberator concussive if you really wanted a dog shit weapon

@@johnmorse2969 i didnt know it was actually effective at the time. i just assumed fire would be useless. still im not a big fan of the gun anyway
@@terralogan7 i feel that. Its a very specific flavor. Ive been running the carbine just cuz dumps damage into em and feels so good
I wish fire was more effective against bots, they could fry their electronics. Like overheating a pc.
i can maybe understand the breaker incendiary being not amazing since it cant even get through their armor but somehow it was more effective than the flamethrower and napalm strike
Corrosive acid cannon will happen one day
@@pigassault9620 i think there is a weapon like that in the first game so thats entirely possible
We need a lightning version of the flame thrower
Honestly, every time I've used the bullet guard dog, it's absolutely slapped automatons.

This video is hilarious. Good Job.
Thanks! means a lot. This is definitely one of my better vids. glad you enjoyed
@@terralogan7 I used to do missions in GTA V with just the pistol so this is one of my favorite things to do, but I mainly do it to challenge myself.
crippling your own capabilities in games is always funny
@@terralogan7 Its even better when it works though🤣

7:13 I mean it makes sense, my pc would also explode If I put flames exactly where the heat is supposed to get out. Point for Arrowhead
true. i just expected it to bounce off anyway

@@terralogan7you should go for the illuminate faction;)

See it probably is good but for some reason I can't aim a laser accurate weapon properly
@@terralogan7
You just need to stand still. Same as any other gun.
Or crouch walk
oh i know. i just cant aim something perfectly still for some reason
Regular Guard Dog is underrated.
That's not to say it's good, but like anything in this game it's useful when used properly and vs bots is using it properly.
yeah i realised its really good at taking out devastators. however i just dont like guard dogs in general as opposed to my jump pack
A single pellet and the following fire DoT from the incendiary breaker can kill one of the footsoldier bots.

the dagger is actually good on the smaller terminators but that's about it, there is the fact of no ammo so that's cool
yeah its actually not that bad. its just the worst out of the pistols imo. id normally bring grenade pistol
