Forgot the Fight Everything player. They attack every single patrol they see and stand their ground in the middle of nowhere with all of your super samples
I'll admit, I was this guy for the first couple hours I played the game. A master sergeant told me to master the art of running away and I've become a changed man.
You forgot the tarkov players/loot goblins that somehow complete every side objective and collects tons of samples before you even reach the main objective
guilty! But I'm reconsidering that playstyle bc one of my quickplay teams refused to rez me bc they thought I was being "selfish". Meanwhile they kept aggroing bugs endlessly and not making progress...
I'm this kind of player. So it infuriates me when I'm playing with someone who follows me around like a dog. I can clear all outposts/nests and get the super samples in the time it takes the rest of the team to clear main objective a lot of the time. I usually get the nests/outposts, then grab super samples and dip to extract to call it in so the shuttle is waiting for the team to arrive, not the other way around.
@@travisd1631 nah, I love getting a loot goblin on my team. I'm either focusing on the mission, or fighting bugs chasing the team. I'm terrible at picking up samples, so you actually let me unlock stuff
I find that I get a warmer reception if I say what I'm doing beforehand. As someone who just switched to ultra-light armor, a quick "running for super samples" helps lower tension, lol
Supply pack players are an absolute treasure. No supply drop goes wasted with them, and if they have the nade launcher, you know their channeling their inner tf2 demo-man.
@gamingoverlord8854 your running the wrong gear I have and can crouch and nade bases. And just run from them. As long as the roving units don't spot you your good just clear them first.
@er_apathy4568 I'm wearing the stealth armor (reduced detection range) and crouching (not prone). The bots detect me a good distance sooner than bugs. Bugs are mostly easier to deal with stealth wise
The Speed Runner. Doesn't fight with team. Usually avoids fights with bots and bugs. Tries to knock out objectives as fast as possible. Usually on the other side of the map.
That's the vet: avoid fights, do objectives, pick up point of interests in between. Will get you a lot of samples when they're back to evac. They've realised that fighting dropships and breaches doesn't give you any goodies
@@MrDodgeNDiveDefinitely me lmao. It's easier to lose aggro on higher difficulties than it is to exterminate every bug breach. Save time and get stuff done.
Rename it to the Scout. At least that's how I call my play style. Roam around the map depending on how the team is doing closer or farther away. Collect Sample spot and clear objectives. Get aggro from bigger threats and lure them away or around.
Well, nice to see the reasons for us Vet's being S tier here. Been playing Helldivers since 2017 myself, and that was mainly due to wanting to play Magicka, but saw it’s servers were getting shut down. However they did make another game with similar controls, which was HD1, and pretty much fell in love with it within a week. And, here we are now, with HD2. For any rookies that may see this, little word of advice f that was a loading screen tip on the first game, despite being paraphrased as I don’t remember exactly what it said: "Don’t stay in one place, the enemy is infinite and you are not." Basically, if you stand around fighting bugs/bots rather than doing the objective, not only will you run out of time, but you may also run out of ammo and/or revives as well. Helldivers is meant to be played with mobility in mind. Get in, do the objective, and get out. Everything else is optional. Avoid fighting the enemy whenever possible, as killing enemies is NOT an objective. Not even an optional one, unless if it is a retaliatory strike or extermination, only then is it an objective.
Thank you, i see too many people trying to do a deathmatch. Game is like cat and mouse but if you are good you can do level 9 at low levels. Just keep moving and do objectives at every op.
To this I'd add another tip that's actually in the HD2 loading screens but probably isn't taken too seriously by most players. And it's to not panic. Stay in movement and stay calm as much as possible even if it gets really chaotic. Identifying where the ennemies are and which targets should be killed in priority can be very important in higher difficulties. Panicking will most of the time lead to mistakes, getting overwhelmed and dying.
His lack of democracy is concerning as he seems to be unable to represent the few but important minority that are us creekers much like one of those bots I believe he should be reported to the nearest democracy officer
One thing worth adding to the Stealth players is that they can run around the map solo collecting rare and super rare samples for the team, along with some of the faster objectives like getting codes or geo surveys done. Can keep the main fighting force doing the big objectives while getting the job done twice as fast.
It's good on the Evac mission but if you use it on the defense mission you don't get credited kills for the robots inside, that's why bro is 8 minutes into the defense and just finished killing 175 enemies, just let em drop and let the mortars kill
@@cams7757If the drop ships are acting buggy and not playing the crashing animation right, wait for right after the enemies drop. The explosion from the drop ship will get most of them.
problem is at least 60% of the playerbase is fighting the Terminids, leaving maybe 20% of us left to fight the Automatons. We quite literally cannot liberate Automaton worlds purely because of the lack of manpower.
As a sniper, if the Hulk, Bile Titan, charger or devastator suddenly looses its head and you see a trace from a railgun from a distance, you're welcome.
Bug Nest Deepstriker: A variant of the Decoy Master, often seen in level 7-9 bug mission. They can single handedly destroy a 11-holes bug nest or a bug eggs concentration by using hit and run tactics. They aggro most bug away so the other in the team can work on the main objectives.
I use a marksman rifle, light armour and sentries. I just get a 380mm ready, run into the middle throw it then drop grenades into any other bug holes I pass. I call down a gatling sentry at the other end and resupply grenades; I should probably use grenade launcher Edit: No I dont kill myself and I tell my teammates to wait there while I call the 380 in.
I was the sacrifice player earlier, we had no reinforcements left, and we were about 2 mins away from losing our stratagems. We had lost 2 reinforcements trying to complete our mission, so it was myself and one squad member, I was much closer to where our pickup would be, I ran to the location threw down resupply, turrets and supportive weapons for them before we lost contact, and I set my eyes on completing the mission that was across the map with nothing but moderated democracy and determination to guide me, knowing I would not see a return to Super Earth. My other squad member was able to call down one last reinforcement that came before all contact and stratagems were lost. With very little ammo to my name, I trekked across the dark sanded wasteland avoiding every patrol of terminids. Suddenly I saw the tower, surrounded by bugs of all kinds and a charger, I knew there was only one option- to sneak my way up to activate the terminal. While I was doing this my 2 brothers in arms were fighting for their lives, freedom, and democracy waiting for the ship. And fought like Helldivers they did while I fought my own more quiet, yet nonetheless intense battle. I crouched and crawled my way into the radio tower with bugs around every corner, a chargers, and too many other lesser, but no less deadly enemies to count. At one point a small terminid was in my path of cover, I had no choice but than to quickly and quietly melee it and hope that no other would notice it. At this point the ship had about landed at the pickup, but not without one more causality of my brothers, and so my final brother waited with baited breath to see if I could complete the mission. As I proceed closer to the terminal I crawled past the two bodies of my slaughter brothers, thanking them silently in my head for getting this mission as far as they did, and I last I hit the terminal and watch the percentage go up, but only as the time remaining before ticked down.... Would the mission be able to be completed before my remain brother had to evac and fail democracy? 17% done. 30 seconds. 38% done. 24 seconds. 59% done. 16 seconds. 97%done. 7 seconds. 100% Completed. 5 seconds left. BINGO, the mission was completed, and not a second too soon! My brother went into the ship, to return the news of the successful mission for moderated democracy and Super Earth! It was an honor, being left behind in sake of the mission and while my name my never be heard, and my action my never be known by any others except my squad, I had done what it right for Super Earth, Freedom, Liberty, and Moderated Democracy and nothing is more rewarding! -Crewmember of the SES Wings of Perseverance
A great story. Time is running out, enemy heavy fire is forcing the squad Super Destroyers to leave low orbit, but final mission objective is completed just prior to the timer running out. Last Helldiver in the squad leaves on the emergency extraction shuttle. The author of the story must live on that patch of planet for a while and survive. I like to think all Helldivers that are left behind hoof it to another sector of the planet and join up with another squad's mission to extract. 🤪
Ayo WDYM stealth is not an option on high difficulties? Im literally channeling all Snakes up my ass to crawl around bug nests and automaton facilities on Helldive Solo, it was the only option to clear the missions when matchmaking wasnt fixed, and now I dont wanna stop
Regarding the last type -- boss vs. leader. Bosses order people around and think that's their job. Leaders lead by being someone others *want* to follow. They're competent, focused, supportive, have good ideas, and everyone knows if they could be like that guy, they would all do just great.
As a veteran myself from many hours of service in Helldivers 1, I have to admit, I needed to rewire my brain for the sequel. Honest to god, I hated the idea the camera would be changed to over the shoulder. One of my strong suits was from the original game, I could clear maps on all directions, but this game made me pick up a different playstyle. Always watch your backs, people. But then again, quickly killing over 150 hours into the second game, I got to learn its tweaks yet again, and it's just a blessing when I hear people cheering for the win. Helping you fellow Helldivers is amazing, and that's why I keep playing.
Autocannon is amazing when you focus on the larger targets and take out the heavy hitters so your team mates can focus on the little guys. Radio tower in the distance? Gone Spore tower? Gone. Nests and factories, evaporated. Nothing overwhelming gets to my team.
The scopes all feel terrible to me. But as a sniper, if you're getting a good amount of kills each game, you're pulling your weight. Using the calm that range offers you to your advantage. If you're not getting many kills, you're wasting a lot of your potential, you're a coward, and you need to get into the fight and have some impact
I joined a "Grinder" on a defence op and he said "im just trying to get samples" on hard and he didnt help escort civi's saying that the whole time, everyone on his team left lmao
Proud min max d teir grinder here. I ain't trying to spend 30 mins in Helldiver difficulty to lose because you are trying to find all the common samples. We have a democracy to defend.
That is pretty simple. Complete main objective asap, then explore. You gain nothing but xp extracting, but exploring rewards you muuuuch much more! And to be honest, helldivers that rush extraction while everyone is collecting samples just f@ck everything, cause when you reach extraction is full of enemies. Against bugs aint a big deal, but against automatons, that Will probly send everything to hell
4:47 Was trying out a new difficulty that I'd never won before and some rando's joined, one guy killed friendlies 11 times, the other killed us 6 times. I didn't kick them because they were noobs and abusing cluster strikes against hulks, but my god was it infuriating just getting my tac-pack, samples, and grenade launcher back and then immediately dying to either them or another rocket devastator/raider
"What the fuck is that cadet doing!" the level 60 roleplayer says as me the new sacrifice chad climbs onto the back of an automaton tank, shooting into the vent with my machine gun until it explodes killing me. "NOOO!!! CADETT!" bro screamed as my torso and only my torso flew into the sky
I'd say my playstyle is more lone wolf, with a side of stealth and decoy. The stealth being a necessity for doing objectives solo, and the decoy bit representing my willingness to kite problematic enemies away from my team once things get particularly hectic. I typically just pick an objective on the map at mission start and break into a sprint to complete it. If my teammates follow me? Cool. If they don't? Also cool. I've become confident enough in my play to blitz objectives pretty efficiently. Not to say I'm not a team player, I just think bunching up is inefficient right at the start of a mission before the intensity of enemy spawns ramps up. So I'll take advantage of that grace period to quickly knock off a couple objectives before linking back up with my team. Plus it's always a nice little ego boost to get a pat on the back for clearing a large bot base all by my wee self lol.
I normally don't have to wait more than 10 seconds to find a game, but I do quick play so I'm often responding to an SOS beacon. I love dropping into a losing battle and trying to turn it around
Can't forget to mention the Speedrunners, who run ahead and activate objectives without the rest of the team being there, to the point where they'll call an evac when the team is doing perfectly fine and they could still take out outposts or side objectives. They also probably keep their chat muted, so they don't see their teammate asking for help to open a double button door.
Lol, I really think that the Anti Material Sniper is a really good sleeper weapon, only beat out by the Railgun for the Armor Pierce and raw Kill power... And Im not usually a Sniper in other games, but I really click with the weapon... But yea that said, play Sniper / Back Pack Support. I have some really bad moments and miss my shots sometimes, but I really try and keep ppl stocked while taking out the trash mobs lol.. I really think im a B Teir Hero lol!! Its funny because I have some really awesome good dodging and save moments, but other times I just fail bad lol. Love your breakdown of Teammates man lol!!
I love using the Diligence and Anti Material Rifle against the bots. The AMR can 2 shot hulks and about 5-6 shots on tanks, so it holds its own against bots, not so much against bugs though
@@cannibalraptor I have yet to do more matches on the Bots with it, but the ones I did do I was landing 2 shots on the medium armored units, you have have to be smart and also do the no aim thing sometimes in some heated moments lol! Im glad youre using different wpns too! Im kind of bore of the Meta already... Hopefullly they dont nerf the meta but just bring the other wpns to the usefulness of the meta's standard
@@cannibalraptor Maybe try dilligence + autocannon. That's what I run on helldive difficulty against the bots. Amazing for clearing waves of devastators and pretty much every other bot type. Also two-shots the hulk and kills the tanks in 3 shots to the weakpoint. And you can use it full auto too ! It's good against the bugs as well since it can melt chargers when used correctly
I'm the damn loot goblin. I'm breaking away from the team and killing 3 outposts and collecting 10 samples with an autocannon before we even start first main objective. Probably blowing up Broadcasts, Stalker lairs or Spore spewers with the autocannon while I'm at it.
I use to do that, but since I'm maxed out on everything but super reds and exp, I ignore big enemy base, sneak myself across the map to all major and secondary objectives. I also learned to read the minimap to know where seaf artillery and sam are, while guessing where others are located.
What about Roamers? (are they the stealth type?) Doing additional objectives on their own, and almost never dies until it gets heated up, who can manage soloing scouting enemys without alerting reinforcments, and usually cutting down mission times while they are clearing outposts?
ah yes, this would be me. I'm used to playing Solo and learned to prioritize the outposts and secondary objs. Basically I Blitzkrieg the outposts with airstrikes before going in to mop up and search the rubble for samples and the move on to the next. Then Rinse and Repeat until there's no more outposts. I'll also sweep like 10 or so Points of Interest while I'm at it.
Not gonna lie, i play like a hero even though im not that good. Just make sure everyone is ok and shoot anything that gets close to my teammates if i can
I'm a bit diver. I CANNOT fight bugs on the same level of bots. I get soooo overwhelmed on 7 against bugs. Against bots I can actually use cover and won't be CONSTANTLY getting overrun. I do solo diving a LOT and absolutely hare the bugs. 7 against the bots is way easier because it's a firefight, I'm fighting against other ranged units. They aren't all stupidly strong and I know most of their weaknesses.
Sniper only is something I love setting up, but I bring auto cannons turrets and EMS mortars. Something about setting up hellfire support from a distance, and watching that line of bugs break under sustained fire and breaking down the horde. Add in a minigun turret and that high ground emplacement has won so many fire fights on hazards 7+
If you play solo there’s obviously no need for a rank, but I’d say probably a good solo. When multiplayer, you really have to have good damage teammates to be good. I would say your plays depend on others. Solid A tier!
@@Mahoraga009 You described it perfectly, I'm usually in the hulk termination loadout as well, but since i'm playing with my lower level friends who don't have access to the higher tier weapons and such, it's hard to switch off that build cause then we simply wont have enough firepower for the big boys when I do. Noticed that a lot last night. So yeah definitely depends on your team.
With the bots I run auto cannon and EAT then eagles for additional anti armor. 500kg, rocket pods, or Airstrike will do the trick. Heck sometimes I swap out the eat for stationary shield on higher difficulties since sometimes we get pinned down and need to push out of a corner. Bugs flame thrower and shield pack. Eagles for those pesky titans. 500 kg seems to work pretty well. And Rocket pods to finish it off
The truth is, I'm the kind of player who always goes on the offensive solo. I can rush objectives and eliminate enemies quickly while my teammates do their own thing with other objectives or whatever. I enjoy using equipment that allows me to move quickly among the enemy while shooting and blowing up everything I see. It's pretty rare for me to die as long as I don't encounter titans, tanks, or cannons that force me to retreat, enter, destroy, and leave, it's that simple. Although I won't hesitate to help if I see a teammate in trouble along the way.
I think I'm a healthy mix of a few player types. I'll be anti-air if I don't see anyone else geared up for it, and I'll also be a "leader" in some missions, but thats usually just because I mark things on the map so I know where to go next, other times I tell people to wait up because I got a mortar and if you push with a mortar you're as good as dead, not proud of how long that took me to learn lol. Also the sniper players can be really great, I've met a few and I've been blessed to have great experiences each time. I love fighting bots and watching them blow open the heads of the devastators like a B2 from the Clone Wars, satisfying, and very helpful. Good tier list, good game.
The way you troll is baiting the low-level bug boys into a medium mission, then dropping them into a bot helldive, screaming, "WELCOME TO HELL BOYS!!!" then leaving. Am I evil? maybe, but I've only done this once, lol.
Fleet Admiral Jynxs of the SES Wings of Wrath here. Just a reminder to include "mentors/teachers" such as yourself to the tier list. A tier if not S tier easily. Passing on knowledge from your successfull missions to trainees is an important part of the big picture mission and one of the key ingredients that keeps mamaged democracy ahead of our rivals
I remember my first mission, it was on a cold and rigid planet against the clankers. I dropped in and got ambushed immediately, barely made it out alive of the ambush. I then did the objective and extracted. Overall I had many different close to death experiences, and made me realise how the game is harsh, and amazing. The missiin after I joined my level 20~30 friends and they surprised me again, with their skill, and different sick stratagems. Like "hey wanna see fireworks?", he asked me. Then proceeded to blow up an outpost with a 500 kg. "Oh BTW i got a rocket.", proceeds to blow up my other friend. An amazing game.
I am a Leader. i call generally for directions obj. and bigger enemies and just let my team go where they want like one player just moves to a factory and i say ye do that and the other do their job. most of the time i just call out the dangerous enemies/bot drops/bug breaches and after that i just let them do what they can . no strategems min maxing or etc. just having fun and having one leader who is just calling a generic direction is good because its a team game and we can help each other. in the middle of a fight it´s really getting messy sometimes. One player having a Plan is really nice. Having a briefing before the game is also really good before just storming in.
Eh I say thats closer to scout, if you makin callouts so everyone knows where and what they have to face its good, but you aint really tellin them to do it directly
I guess I'm a mix if hero and distraction. I honestly love pulling the enemies attention for my squadmates to rain hellfire, and I will always go out of my way to accompany someone who is on there own, and nine times out of ten they are struggling with what they are trying to do. So it gives me a sense if joy whenever I roll up and blast whatever is driving bro back. Even more so if he says thanks 😊
What do you call a player who goes off on their own and completes all the side objectives and grabs all the samples and medals before joining up with the group to finish stuff. Is that worthy of a specific name?
a few more categories - the samples collector (wants to collect many samples) - the perfectionist (doesnt want to evacuate even if almost all reinforcements are consumed and you have many samples to lose) - the kicker (kicks other players shortly before the shuttle lands) - the turret guy (always plays with at least two kinds of turrets) - the introvert (your friend who got traumatized by the the troll and the friendly fire dude and all other bad players and forces you to play only duo missions) - the carefull sample collector (extrem version of the samples collector, he is always searching for the legendary samples on lv7 [because he isnt playing risky] and if he finds them, he brings them directly to the extraction point, so it cant get lost on the battlefield)
My first deployment was on The Creek, I started a few days ago and being a freshly deployed cadet on that hell hole was terrifying, I met a few Admirals and Sargeants that whipped me into shape. Taught me what I know. They pulled me out and sent me to Oshaune to help with the Termanids. I'm a Sargeant myself now, haven't been back to the creek since.
Gotta hate those people that only do the main objective and call extract. Like cmon man we totally take on these side objectives. This is why i just go off on my own and get it done like the artillery piece you can load or the radar dish so i can see more on the map
Well i did go into games where people actively vc and you can make them aware of it. And most of the times its the beginner players that dont know the side objectives anyway. But i do hate the players that join YOUR lobby while you want to do the side objectives and they activate the dropship before you are done... really annoying
One of the playstyles I have been doing recently and its quite a bit of fun is deep infiltration. Its like stealth with a bit of a bite. I carry weapons and strategems that allow me to quickly kill pretty much any non-hard target quickly. About the only thing I can't handle quickly is a Bile Titan or Factory Strider. But everything else gets one or two tapped. This allows me to hit up the minor outposts and secondary objectives while the other three work on the main stuff and things along the way to the main stuff. This gives us a quick run that is about 15-25 minutes out of 40, and gets most samples and full completion bonuses. To pull it off you need recon armor for the stealth bonus so you can move around. You also need a pretty decent punching primary like the Plasma Punisher against Bots or Bugs, or the Flame shotgun against bugs. Then you need big ordinance for the depots and such. Bug holes you may consider using an autocannon or grenade pistol due to how many holes there are. But getting all the bug holes and fabricators down before extraction cuts down on the enemies attacking by A LOT. When you extract, all bugs and bots coming out of spawners begin marching towards it, in addition to the breachs and drops that randomly come by. So get that stuff taken out, get extra exp at the end, and ensure that the end isn't as stressful, making it more likely you have 100% extraction for an even bigger bonus.
I’d like to add one “The completionest” or “loot goblin”. These players have their own agenda, to complete all side objectives and collect all samples. They rarely work with their team unless it’s extraction or they’re in the area, but most of the time they’re 400 metres away, destroying outposts or collecting samples.
I typically roleplay as a combat engineer or long range assassin. This is not only fun, but extremely helpful for my team. I can get rid of dropships and hills long before my teammates even know that they exist. I also mainly fight the bots because it makes it more intense and fire me, more fun.
Yeah, I agree, can't argue if it's official I think I'm a grinder, I just drop in, go straight to the main objectives, and run away at the first sign of bot drops coz those aren't worth fighting X"D But after the mains, I'm the sacrifice guy who'd run all over the map picking up samples and helping others get to the ship One time this team was running low on time with only the last stage on Geo research mission, I finished it, couldn't extract, but at least we won
I just started playing the other day and I instantly went to the creek, so today makes it the fourth day of me going to the creek nonstop, also making it the third day of me and my friends going to the creek.
Me, the Speedrunning guy who splits off from the team with a jetpack and grenade launcher, clearing every bug hive around while my team does main missions. They love me. Until it’s time to extract and they see me running over the hill followed by 3 Bile Titans 4 Chargers and a horde of bugs the size of Manhattan
I have only one question: why do you lead all this stuff to your team? Wear sneaky armor and drop aggro first, it's entirely possible, especially with jetpack
@@gorgeousgeorge7104 🤓 Jk lol but when I am POPPING BUG HIVES you always aggro bugs. It’s unavoidable. And when extraction is called in I have to come back with all my samples so. Usually makes for epic moments the team loves anyways
The hero... if you are running from a bile titan, and you see a quasar shot out of nowhere directly on the face of the titan... you know there is a hero on the squad. Keep it up helldivers
The commando™ always pinging where they're going, often able to solo a nest, never miss a sample, and despite the fact I'm wearing the scout armor I can never seem to catch up to them lol
I consider myself as a heavy support player. I play round using either grenade launcher/sniper (which, the last one, i find quite usefull for heavy automatons if you can aim), supply backpack, a sentry gun or double eagle, either rockets and/or 500kg. Still grinding some samples to upgrade the ship and have that sweet sweet extra ammo on support weapons and extra deployment/use on eagle strikes. But one think i have in common with all my fellow helldivers: DEMOCRACY SHALL BE SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE AMONG ALL THE GALAXY
Seeing competent role players, a true team player and crack shot with a mouth, is a S-tier; my proof, look to Sarge shouting orders and getting the divers motivated :D
Maybe you forgot about "Sweet newbie" they are always watching your back, never friendly fire, good listener, they leave no one behind, if you going alone they will be there with you. S tier
Hero is definitely top tier, it’s super clutch to have someone covering you when your trying to line up an important shot or just need a little space to stabilize. Not to mention if your on the run from a swarm and need some covering fire.
Being a mid level player I have been liking dropping with a crowd control build. All of the fastest firing full auto weapons for sweeping crowds out to give the guys taking out the big guys some room to work.
I would mention one more for D (if that falls under one you mentioned then my bad), the One Man Army. The guy who just leaves the team everytime and runs off to do his own thing. Which is dying most of the time. And when you reinforce him back he just runs off again and again, making you wonder why he even joins a team and just does not play solo.
I play as light armored close&middle-range sniper, and whenever there are samples left on other part of the map, I go there asap and take them. Mostly it's risky but I get my job done, I take as much as I can without dying, and thanks to my light armor I can quickly run away from heavy enemies and reach the extraction even if counting has started, and while running I do as much damage to a chasing me be enemies as possible, so I won't bring too much trouble to my teammates. I haven't heard people complayining abaut my strategy, but I'll try to not risk so much when team ask me to do so. so I can be assigned to Sacrifice type :D
Noob here I've had a few matches with veterans and they're absolute gems they basically carried me while i got my bearings and figured shits out so thanks for that
The P*ss loadout specialist (me) Primary: Scythe/Sickle (Sickle for me) Secondary: Las pistol Stratagems: Guard rover, orbital laser, laser cannon, free space You may think i’m crazy, helldivers. BUT. Being able to hold down M1 and continuously gun swap while letting the other heat sinks cool down means a steady DPS output at all times, for as long as needed. Saved my boys more times than I can count by being able to keep either a hail of laser bullets or a straight beam on the horde chasing them till they’re safe. Plus, being careful means infinite ammo, which is great for letting your teammates eat supply drops instead. And cause i really like lasers
The Sniper Roll is better when you have friends like me with an Auto Cannon handy. That or the new quazar cannon. It's like having one more stratagem that you didn't have to ask for. 🏴☠
I'm a proud bug stomper. Sure, I spill oil from time to time, but blowing apart those bugs is just so satisfying. On that note, we need support in Umlaut! Specifically, Errata Prime is overrun and we need more guns before the bugs make it back into Orion!
i feel that i very much am the hero player as i spend about 60% of my time focusing on getting my teammates out of danger. by far the most satisfying thing is throwing a shield out just in time to save a surrounded teamate then calling in hell to clear an escape rout for them
I feel like you forgot the Support Guy, usually Stalwart and Machinegun Built, heavy artillery and Napalm/Gas and focussed on cleaning up, managing the Logistics like Sentrys, Supply drops and reinforcements. They also are very good to keep around in Bug Missions for the very high Quantity, low to medium Quality Bugs that don't require End Game equipment/Meta Tactics so a new Player can directly get into the Support Type I started as one and quite franqly don't want to change, as its so fun to see Automaton Infantry go up into Oil, oh and due to the Supressive Fire Mechanism of the Bots they are also good if you need time to like get reinforcements or call in heavy Airstrikes with them goddamn Keybinds

guilty! But I'm reconsidering that playstyle bc one of my quickplay teams refused to rez me bc they thought I was being "selfish". Meanwhile they kept aggroing bugs endlessly and not making progress...

I'm this kind of player. So it infuriates me when I'm playing with someone who follows me around like a dog.
I can clear all outposts/nests and get the super samples in the time it takes the rest of the team to clear main objective a lot of the time.
I usually get the nests/outposts, then grab super samples and dip to extract to call it in so the shuttle is waiting for the team to arrive, not the other way around.
@@travisd1631 nah, I love getting a loot goblin on my team. I'm either focusing on the mission, or fighting bugs chasing the team. I'm terrible at picking up samples, so you actually let me unlock stuff
I find that I get a warmer reception if I say what I'm doing beforehand.
As someone who just switched to ultra-light armor, a quick "running for super samples" helps lower tension, lol

Stealth is way easier on the bot maps versus the bugs. The bugs react a lot quicker.
Not only that but bugs will chase you thus keeping aggro. bots lose aggro after a certain distance since they dont chase as hard.
Also in general the bugs are faster and will run you down between the stalker, the charger and the titan.
But I feel like the bots can spot me from a mile away
@gamingoverlord8854 your running the wrong gear I have and can crouch and nade bases. And just run from them. As long as the roving units don't spot you your good just clear them first.
@er_apathy4568 I'm wearing the stealth armor (reduced detection range) and crouching (not prone). The bots detect me a good distance sooner than bugs. Bugs are mostly easier to deal with stealth wise

@@MrDodgeNDiveDefinitely me lmao. It's easier to lose aggro on higher difficulties than it is to exterminate every bug breach. Save time and get stuff done.
Rename it to the Scout. At least that's how I call my play style. Roam around the map depending on how the team is doing closer or farther away. Collect Sample spot and clear objectives. Get aggro from bigger threats and lure them away or around.
Z tier i hate them its so much better to fight together
Well, nice to see the reasons for us Vet's being S tier here. Been playing Helldivers since 2017 myself, and that was mainly due to wanting to play Magicka, but saw it’s servers were getting shut down. However they did make another game with similar controls, which was HD1, and pretty much fell in love with it within a week. And, here we are now, with HD2.
For any rookies that may see this, little word of advice f that was a loading screen tip on the first game, despite being paraphrased as I don’t remember exactly what it said: "Don’t stay in one place, the enemy is infinite and you are not." Basically, if you stand around fighting bugs/bots rather than doing the objective, not only will you run out of time, but you may also run out of ammo and/or revives as well. Helldivers is meant to be played with mobility in mind. Get in, do the objective, and get out. Everything else is optional. Avoid fighting the enemy whenever possible, as killing enemies is NOT an objective. Not even an optional one, unless if it is a retaliatory strike or extermination, only then is it an objective.
That tip is what I tell low levels all the time, thanks for sharing.
Hell yeah, tell at least one of your team to take point and mark the map to give the team some form of control and not just wandering randomly.
Thank you, i see too many people trying to do a deathmatch. Game is like cat and mouse but if you are good you can do level 9 at low levels. Just keep moving and do objectives at every op.
To this I'd add another tip that's actually in the HD2 loading screens but probably isn't taken too seriously by most players. And it's to not panic. Stay in movement and stay calm as much as possible even if it gets really chaotic. Identifying where the ennemies are and which targets should be killed in priority can be very important in higher difficulties. Panicking will most of the time lead to mistakes, getting overwhelmed and dying.
I need that extra miniscule amount of XP for killing a small nest/factory on the other side of the map

One thing worth adding to the Stealth players is that they can run around the map solo collecting rare and super rare samples for the team, along with some of the faster objectives like getting codes or geo surveys done. Can keep the main fighting force doing the big objectives while getting the job done twice as fast.

The only thing I’m learning from this video is to use the recoilless on the drop ships for robots
It's good on the Evac mission but if you use it on the defense mission you don't get credited kills for the robots inside, that's why bro is 8 minutes into the defense and just finished killing 175 enemies, just let em drop and let the mortars kill

Bug Nest Deepstriker: A variant of the Decoy Master, often seen in level 7-9 bug mission. They can single handedly destroy a 11-holes bug nest or a bug eggs concentration by using hit and run tactics. They aggro most bug away so the other in the team can work on the main objectives.
I use a marksman rifle, light armour and sentries. I just get a 380mm ready, run into the middle throw it then drop grenades into any other bug holes I pass. I call down a gatling sentry at the other end and resupply grenades; I should probably use grenade launcher
Edit: No I dont kill myself and I tell my teammates to wait there while I call the 380 in.
I was the sacrifice player earlier, we had no reinforcements left, and we were about 2 mins away from losing our stratagems. We had lost 2 reinforcements trying to complete our mission, so it was myself and one squad member, I was much closer to where our pickup would be, I ran to the location threw down resupply, turrets and supportive weapons for them before we lost contact, and I set my eyes on completing the mission that was across the map with nothing but moderated democracy and determination to guide me, knowing I would not see a return to Super Earth. My other squad member was able to call down one last reinforcement that came before all contact and stratagems were lost. With very little ammo to my name, I trekked across the dark sanded wasteland avoiding every patrol of terminids. Suddenly I saw the tower, surrounded by bugs of all kinds and a charger, I knew there was only one option- to sneak my way up to activate the terminal. While I was doing this my 2 brothers in arms were fighting for their lives, freedom, and democracy waiting for the ship. And fought like Helldivers they did while I fought my own more quiet, yet nonetheless intense battle. I crouched and crawled my way into the radio tower with bugs around every corner, a chargers, and too many other lesser, but no less deadly enemies to count. At one point a small terminid was in my path of cover, I had no choice but than to quickly and quietly melee it and hope that no other would notice it. At this point the ship had about landed at the pickup, but not without one more causality of my brothers, and so my final brother waited with baited breath to see if I could complete the mission. As I proceed closer to the terminal I crawled past the two bodies of my slaughter brothers, thanking them silently in my head for getting this mission as far as they did, and I last I hit the terminal and watch the percentage go up, but only as the time remaining before ticked down.... Would the mission be able to be completed before my remain brother had to evac and fail democracy? 17% done. 30 seconds. 38% done. 24 seconds. 59% done. 16 seconds. 97%done. 7 seconds. 100% Completed. 5 seconds left. BINGO, the mission was completed, and not a second too soon! My brother went into the ship, to return the news of the successful mission for moderated democracy and Super Earth! It was an honor, being left behind in sake of the mission and while my name my never be heard, and my action my never be known by any others except my squad, I had done what it right for Super Earth, Freedom, Liberty, and Moderated Democracy and nothing is more rewarding!

As a veteran myself from many hours of service in Helldivers 1, I have to admit, I needed to rewire my brain for the sequel.
Honest to god, I hated the idea the camera would be changed to over the shoulder. One of my strong suits was from the original game, I could clear maps on all directions, but this game made me pick up a different playstyle. Always watch your backs, people. But then again, quickly killing over 150 hours into the second game, I got to learn its tweaks yet again, and it's just a blessing when I hear people cheering for the win. Helping you fellow Helldivers is amazing, and that's why I keep playing.
Yeah I don't like it, either. They took away my ability to twitch shoot a whole area of bugs. But, it's not terrible, I guess....(I hate it)
As a guy who uses a sniper for a living in Helldivers 2 fighting in long range I also go into the battlefield with it facing my enemies head on
The Diligence with the Anti Material rifle is pretty viable against the bots. Also good when the rest of your teammates have close combat covered
Autocannon is amazing when you focus on the larger targets and take out the heavy hitters so your team mates can focus on the little guys. Radio tower in the distance? Gone
Spore tower? Gone. Nests and factories, evaporated. Nothing overwhelming gets to my team.
@@christopherjones7191plenty of ammo too. It's kinda crazy how much ammo we get from that thing

But as a sniper, if you're getting a good amount of kills each game, you're pulling your weight. Using the calm that range offers you to your advantage.
If you're not getting many kills, you're wasting a lot of your potential, you're a coward, and you need to get into the fight and have some impact

That is pretty simple. Complete main objective asap, then explore. You gain nothing but xp extracting, but exploring rewards you muuuuch much more! And to be honest, helldivers that rush extraction while everyone is collecting samples just f@ck everything, cause when you reach extraction is full of enemies. Against bugs aint a big deal, but against automatons, that Will probly send everything to hell
And i got a ship to upgrade. Go play diff 7 or 8 if you arent going to pick up atleast 5 samples

4:47 Was trying out a new difficulty that I'd never won before and some rando's joined, one guy killed friendlies 11 times, the other killed us 6 times. I didn't kick them because they were noobs and abusing cluster strikes against hulks, but my god was it infuriating just getting my tac-pack, samples, and grenade launcher back and then immediately dying to either them or another rocket devastator/raider
Superior version of the leader is the guide, somebody who just plots out directions and objectives and suggests routes to keep everyone on objective.
"What the fuck is that cadet doing!" the level 60 roleplayer says as me the new sacrifice chad climbs onto the back of an automaton tank, shooting into the vent with my machine gun until it explodes killing me. "NOOO!!! CADETT!" bro screamed as my torso and only my torso flew into the sky
I'd say my playstyle is more lone wolf, with a side of stealth and decoy. The stealth being a necessity for doing objectives solo, and the decoy bit representing my willingness to kite problematic enemies away from my team once things get particularly hectic.
I typically just pick an objective on the map at mission start and break into a sprint to complete it. If my teammates follow me? Cool. If they don't? Also cool.
I've become confident enough in my play to blitz objectives pretty efficiently.
Not to say I'm not a team player, I just think bunching up is inefficient right at the start of a mission before the intensity of enemy spawns ramps up. So I'll take advantage of that grace period to quickly knock off a couple objectives before linking back up with my team.
Plus it's always a nice little ego boost to get a pat on the back for clearing a large bot base all by my wee self lol.
“Servers are full player” all miss the days the OG’s will never understand.
I normally don't have to wait more than 10 seconds to find a game, but I do quick play so I'm often responding to an SOS beacon. I love dropping into a losing battle and trying to turn it around
I’m the one that forgets to tell my mates that I just dropped a 380mm without saying a word
ah yes, people using 380 on tiny map defence missions
Can't forget to mention the Speedrunners, who run ahead and activate objectives without the rest of the team being there, to the point where they'll call an evac when the team is doing perfectly fine and they could still take out outposts or side objectives. They also probably keep their chat muted, so they don't see their teammate asking for help to open a double button door.

@@cannibalraptor Maybe try dilligence + autocannon. That's what I run on helldive difficulty against the bots. Amazing for clearing waves of devastators and pretty much every other bot type. Also two-shots the hulk and kills the tanks in 3 shots to the weakpoint. And you can use it full auto too ! It's good against the bugs as well since it can melt chargers when used correctly
LOVE the idea for this tier list.
Thank you!
I'm the damn loot goblin. I'm breaking away from the team and killing 3 outposts and collecting 10 samples with an autocannon before we even start first main objective. Probably blowing up Broadcasts, Stalker lairs or Spore spewers with the autocannon while I'm at it.
I use to do that, but since I'm maxed out on everything but super reds and exp, I ignore big enemy base, sneak myself across the map to all major and secondary objectives. I also learned to read the minimap to know where seaf artillery and sam are, while guessing where others are located.
Role playing in this game creates so many laughs! I mean the game itself does too, but reacting that way to crazy stuff is just the best
What about Roamers? (are they the stealth type?)
Doing additional objectives on their own, and almost never dies until it gets heated up,
who can manage soloing scouting enemys without alerting reinforcments, and usually cutting down mission times while they are clearing outposts?
ah yes, this would be me. I'm used to playing Solo and learned to prioritize the outposts and secondary objs. Basically I Blitzkrieg the outposts with airstrikes before going in to mop up and search the rubble for samples and the move on to the next. Then Rinse and Repeat until there's no more outposts.

You were wrong.
Not gonna lie, i play like a hero even though im not that good. Just make sure everyone is ok and shoot anything that gets close to my teammates if i can
You are wrong.
The answer is C.
I'm a bit diver. I CANNOT fight bugs on the same level of bots. I get soooo overwhelmed on 7 against bugs. Against bots I can actually use cover and won't be CONSTANTLY getting overrun. I do solo diving a LOT and absolutely hare the bugs. 7 against the bots is way easier because it's a firefight, I'm fighting against other ranged units. They aren't all stupidly strong and I know most of their weaknesses.
What about the crasher, where his game continually crashes but still tries and rejoins.
Sniper only is something I love setting up, but I bring auto cannons turrets and EMS mortars.
Something about setting up hellfire support from a distance, and watching that line of bugs break under sustained fire and breaking down the horde.
Add in a minigun turret and that high ground emplacement has won so many fire fights on hazards 7+
For me my loadout is specialized in Anti-armor clearing Hulks and tanks
What tier should I be ?
If you play solo there’s obviously no need for a rank, but I’d say probably a good solo. When multiplayer, you really have to have good damage teammates to be good. I would say your plays depend on others. Solid A tier!
Hulk/Titan busters for the Win brother!
@@Mahoraga009 You described it perfectly, I'm usually in the hulk termination loadout as well, but since i'm playing with my lower level friends who don't have access to the higher tier weapons and such, it's hard to switch off that build cause then we simply wont have enough firepower for the big boys when I do. Noticed that a lot last night. So yeah definitely depends on your team.
Anti armor here too. Love seeing a Charger explode right as it's about to merk someone. 😂
With the bots I run auto cannon and EAT then eagles for additional anti armor. 500kg, rocket pods, or Airstrike will do the trick. Heck sometimes I swap out the eat for stationary shield on higher difficulties since sometimes we get pinned down and need to push out of a corner. Bugs flame thrower and shield pack. Eagles for those pesky titans. 500 kg seems to work pretty well. And Rocket pods to finish it off
The truth is, I'm the kind of player who always goes on the offensive solo. I can rush objectives and eliminate enemies quickly while my teammates do their own thing with other objectives or whatever. I enjoy using equipment that allows me to move quickly among the enemy while shooting and blowing up everything I see. It's pretty rare for me to die as long as I don't encounter titans, tanks, or cannons that force me to retreat, enter, destroy, and leave, it's that simple. Although I won't hesitate to help if I see a teammate in trouble along the way.
if you don't solo grind automaton suicide missions idk what you're doing
Facts
SOLO AUTOMATON EVAC HELLDIVE OR BUST
I think I'm a healthy mix of a few player types. I'll be anti-air if I don't see anyone else geared up for it, and I'll also be a "leader" in some missions, but thats usually just because I mark things on the map so I know where to go next, other times I tell people to wait up because I got a mortar and if you push with a mortar you're as good as dead, not proud of how long that took me to learn lol.
Also the sniper players can be really great, I've met a few and I've been blessed to have great experiences each time. I love fighting bots and watching them blow open the heads of the devastators like a B2 from the Clone Wars, satisfying, and very helpful. Good tier list, good game.

I remember my first mission, it was on a cold and rigid planet against the clankers. I dropped in and got ambushed immediately, barely made it out alive of the ambush. I then did the objective and extracted. Overall I had many different close to death experiences, and made me realise how the game is harsh, and amazing.
The missiin after I joined my level 20~30 friends and they surprised me again, with their skill, and different sick stratagems. Like "hey wanna see fireworks?", he asked me. Then proceeded to blow up an outpost with a 500 kg. "Oh BTW i got a rocket.", proceeds to blow up my other friend.
An amazing game.
I am a Leader. i call generally for directions obj. and bigger enemies and just let my team go where they want like one player just moves to a factory and i say ye do that and the other do their job.
most of the time i just call out the dangerous enemies/bot drops/bug breaches and after that i just let them do what they can . no strategems min maxing or etc. just having fun and having one leader who is just calling a generic direction is good because its a team game and we can help each other. in the middle of a fight it´s really getting messy sometimes. One player having a Plan is really nice. Having a briefing before the game is also really good before just storming in.
Eh I say thats closer to scout, if you makin callouts so everyone knows where and what they have to face its good, but you aint really tellin them to do it directly

Gotta hate those people that only do the main objective and call extract. Like cmon man we totally take on these side objectives. This is why i just go off on my own and get it done like the artillery piece you can load or the radar dish so i can see more on the map
Well i did go into games where people actively vc and you can make them aware of it. And most of the times its the beginner players that dont know the side objectives anyway. But i do hate the players that join YOUR lobby while you want to do the side objectives and they activate the dropship before you are done... really annoying
One of the playstyles I have been doing recently and its quite a bit of fun is deep infiltration. Its like stealth with a bit of a bite. I carry weapons and strategems that allow me to quickly kill pretty much any non-hard target quickly. About the only thing I can't handle quickly is a Bile Titan or Factory Strider. But everything else gets one or two tapped. This allows me to hit up the minor outposts and secondary objectives while the other three work on the main stuff and things along the way to the main stuff. This gives us a quick run that is about 15-25 minutes out of 40, and gets most samples and full completion bonuses.
To pull it off you need recon armor for the stealth bonus so you can move around. You also need a pretty decent punching primary like the Plasma Punisher against Bots or Bugs, or the Flame shotgun against bugs. Then you need big ordinance for the depots and such. Bug holes you may consider using an autocannon or grenade pistol due to how many holes there are. But getting all the bug holes and fabricators down before extraction cuts down on the enemies attacking by A LOT. When you extract, all bugs and bots coming out of spawners begin marching towards it, in addition to the breachs and drops that randomly come by.
So get that stuff taken out, get extra exp at the end, and ensure that the end isn't as stressful, making it more likely you have 100% extraction for an even bigger bonus.
I’d like to add one “The completionest” or “loot goblin”. These players have their own agenda, to complete all side objectives and collect all samples. They rarely work with their team unless it’s extraction or they’re in the area, but most of the time they’re 400 metres away, destroying outposts or collecting samples.
If you search up how long it takes to get from level 1 to level 150 it says 500+ hours which is only 3 weeks if you still want to sleep😂
Automatons and Terminids are completely diferent, mastering each is an effort worthy of praise.
You forgot us Malevelon Creek veterans, we can solo missions against bots on Helldive difficulty
the absolute hype i got seeing that helldivers 2 would come out whenever it was announced because helldivers is actually so nostalgic for me
Cant wait till i get my new computer so i can play
I typically roleplay as a combat engineer or long range assassin. This is not only fun, but extremely helpful for my team. I can get rid of dropships and hills long before my teammates even know that they exist.
I also mainly fight the bots because it makes it more intense and fire me, more fun.
I've never not had fun when people do the RP bits, its just funny
me and my squad: OOOO BIG GUN GO BOOM, TURRET GO BLAM BLAM, OOOO precision BLAST
"Proceeds to wipe-out the entire bug/clanker population"
Yeah, I agree, can't argue if it's official
I think I'm a grinder, I just drop in, go straight to the main objectives, and run away at the first sign of bot drops coz those aren't worth fighting X"D
But after the mains, I'm the sacrifice guy who'd run all over the map picking up samples and helping others get to the ship
One time this team was running low on time with only the last stage on Geo research mission, I finished it, couldn't extract, but at least we won
I just started playing the other day and I instantly went to the creek, so today makes it the fourth day of me going to the creek nonstop, also making it the third day of me and my friends going to the creek.
Me, the Speedrunning guy who splits off from the team with a jetpack and grenade launcher, clearing every bug hive around while my team does main missions. They love me. Until it’s time to extract and they see me running over the hill followed by 3 Bile Titans 4 Chargers and a horde of bugs the size of Manhattan
I have only one question: why do you lead all this stuff to your team? Wear sneaky armor and drop aggro first, it's entirely possible, especially with jetpack
@@gorgeousgeorge7104 🤓
Jk lol but when I am POPPING BUG HIVES you always aggro bugs. It’s unavoidable. And when extraction is called in I have to come back with all my samples so. Usually makes for epic moments the team loves anyways
@@absoluteandrew398 well, it's fine with good squad I guess 😁
nah, we hate you.
Not going to lie, there some muppets out there, in the higher ranks.
The hero... if you are running from a bile titan, and you see a quasar shot out of nowhere directly on the face of the titan... you know there is a hero on the squad. Keep it up helldivers
D tier - people who fight endlessly on some random place instead of moving and focusing on objectives
I like the Focus on Fun! Also gave me some ideas how to be better I think🤔 thanks for that👍
I'll be using the AMR from an objective away and headshotting hulks in order to save my team mates, phenomenal cinematic experience for both players
As a bug only player, i hate bots and trying to cover myself
Bots are not funny because they feel like real war, not a hunt...
The commando™ always pinging where they're going, often able to solo a nest, never miss a sample, and despite the fact I'm wearing the scout armor I can never seem to catch up to them lol
I consider myself as a heavy support player. I play round using either grenade launcher/sniper (which, the last one, i find quite usefull for heavy automatons if you can aim), supply backpack, a sentry gun or double eagle, either rockets and/or 500kg. Still grinding some samples to upgrade the ship and have that sweet sweet extra ammo on support weapons and extra deployment/use on eagle strikes.
But one think i have in common with all my fellow helldivers: DEMOCRACY SHALL BE SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE AMONG ALL THE GALAXY
Seeing competent role players, a true team player and crack shot with a mouth, is a S-tier; my proof, look to Sarge shouting orders and getting the divers motivated :D
Maybe you forgot about "Sweet newbie" they are always watching your back, never friendly fire, good listener, they leave no one behind, if you going alone they will be there with you. S tier
Hero is definitely top tier, it’s super clutch to have someone covering you when your trying to line up an important shot or just need a little space to stabilize. Not to mention if your on the run from a swarm and need some covering fire.
A note on the Bot-crushers, thanks for helping push out the Major Order to repel those metallic scum!
Being a mid level player I have been liking dropping with a crowd control build. All of the fastest firing full auto weapons for sweeping crowds out to give the guys taking out the big guys some room to work.
I would mention one more for D (if that falls under one you mentioned then my bad), the One Man Army. The guy who just leaves the team everytime and runs off to do his own thing. Which is dying most of the time. And when you reinforce him back he just runs off again and again, making you wonder why he even joins a team and just does not play solo.
I play as light armored close&middle-range sniper, and whenever there are samples left on other part of the map, I go there asap and take them. Mostly it's risky but I get my job done, I take as much as I can without dying, and thanks to my light armor I can quickly run away from heavy enemies and reach the extraction even if counting has started, and while running I do as much damage to a chasing me be enemies as possible, so I won't bring too much trouble to my teammates. I haven't heard people complayining abaut my strategy, but I'll try to not risk so much when team ask me to do so. so I can be assigned to Sacrifice type :D
You guys that only kill bugs gotta come help us man.😂
I got you bro I’m on the way
Noob here I've had a few matches with veterans and they're absolute gems they basically carried me while i got my bearings and figured shits out so thanks for that
I'd put divers who make tier lists at C
The P*ss loadout specialist (me)
Primary: Scythe/Sickle (Sickle for me)
Secondary: Las pistol
Stratagems: Guard rover, orbital laser, laser cannon, free space
You may think i’m crazy, helldivers. BUT. Being able to hold down M1 and continuously gun swap while letting the other heat sinks cool down means a steady DPS output at all times, for as long as needed. Saved my boys more times than I can count by being able to keep either a hail of laser bullets or a straight beam on the horde chasing them till they’re safe.
Plus, being careful means infinite ammo, which is great for letting your teammates eat supply drops instead.
And cause i really like lasers
The Sniper Roll is better when you have friends like me with an Auto Cannon handy. That or the new quazar cannon. It's like having one more stratagem that you didn't have to ask for. 🏴☠
I'm a proud bug stomper. Sure, I spill oil from time to time, but blowing apart those bugs is just so satisfying.
On that note, we need support in Umlaut! Specifically, Errata Prime is overrun and we need more guns before the bugs make it back into Orion!
i feel that i very much am the hero player as i spend about 60% of my time focusing on getting my teammates out of danger. by far the most satisfying thing is throwing a shield out just in time to save a surrounded teamate then calling in hell to clear an escape rout for them
I feel like you forgot the Support Guy, usually Stalwart and Machinegun Built, heavy artillery and Napalm/Gas and focussed on cleaning up, managing the Logistics like Sentrys, Supply drops and reinforcements. They also are very good to keep around in Bug Missions for the very high Quantity, low to medium Quality Bugs that don't require End Game equipment/Meta Tactics so a new Player can directly get into the Support Type
I started as one and quite franqly don't want to change, as its so fun to see Automaton Infantry go up into Oil, oh and due to the Supressive Fire Mechanism of the Bots they are also good if you need time to like get reinforcements or call in heavy Airstrikes with them goddamn Keybinds
