Ain't nothing wrong with lowering the difficulty, I personally find it where Super Helldives take twice as long (roughly ddepending on the mission) to complete compared to a lower difficulty (5-7) where as long as you're continuing to pressure a planet with dives, you'll still gain the same amount of not more liberty % just because of faster clears.

You sir are not given enough credit for how good your editing is and how funny your humor is. God I love this channel. As always, here's wishing you the best from Canada!
I unironically run this at dif 8 bot missions. HMG (Set to lowest firerate. Flamethrower is the other pick), Walking barrage, orbital airburst, gas strike. Weapon loadout is the Rifle, Revolver, and thermite (Can be swapped for Smoke or Gas). Armor? To go with a proper WW1 trench raider getup its the CE-27 Ground Breaker set. Its just a WW1 French Uniform.
Loved how this video had some nice wholesome undertones, especially at the beginning talking about how helpful teamwork is for IRL non Helldiver missions, and at the end talking about breaking away from metas and playing for fun. :)
I thought the constitution was a joke weapon but then I ran difficulty 7s and 8s with it. Turns out, it’s a headshoting machine on the automaton front, with surprisingly good handling and gentle bullet drop.
1:26 you can bring it to helldive, just don’t be the guy who decides to stab the moment they miss 3/5 shots. I saw a guy do it back to back after a reinforcement. I stopped shooting , stood there (mind you I’m getting shot at too) watched him just try to melee while surrounded. And then when I saw him getting hit too much I finished the bots off. If you have too, stab, shoot, or vice versa, dive BACKWARDS….shoot, and reload if you know you’re not going to get shot, and shoot again. I still got a 200+ elimination with the constitution on me, and without heavy armor. Yes I had other things to assist. But even stun Strats and grenades can help, also you can take out medium hard to take out enemies with a single headshot. So I’d suggest practicing headshots with the other marksman’s and snipers in third person, no don’t try getting it with the iron sights, they’re worst than using a standard M4 or M16 irl😂.
I’ve only found you recently and I absolutely love your humour and how you put fun first, it reminds me on the first few months of release when I ran with my own squad, those were the days, haha.
The constitution has been my favorite bot weapon since it came out. Been bringing it with the senator and frags and putting it with the railgun and supply pack to take out heavier enemies and it works great. Also tried it with the stalwart on 10s last night and that went pretty well too other than the 4 times I walked in front of my friend's recoilless rifle
“Despite these challenges I decided to spend 15 hours of my life…sweet liberty, what is wrong with me?…” Nothing sir. You are simply enlightening new recruits and veterans alike that all of democracy’s weapons are viable with the right plan and load out combo. I salute you sir. o7
As a dad-diver, I appreciate people like you coming down to Tier 6 with me, which is the difficulty I've found has just the right balance of difficulty and fun for me
I love it! I'm sharing this video with my group and seeing if they will go "full immersion" with me. As a lesser skilled player, your words on difficulty resonate with me. My group plays on 8, but I'm more comfortable on 6. Life is hard enough.
this was most hilarious XD my friends and i did a challenge on bugs where we said: NO STRATAGEMS meaning: - no support weapons called in - no offensive or defensive stratagems - no resupply what we did was: - scavenge support weapons from the map - we found 2 flamethrowers and a railgun - stratagems for mission critical equipment for obvious reasons - SEAF Artillery since it is a mission bonus we were debating if we should use reinforcements and sattled on: NO. but that was no fun. was a fun challenge, using only primary and scavenged weapons, actively searching the map for amo/stims/grenades.
Arrowhead should consider adding a booster that either gives you the effects of a normal stim or the syringe gun's mini stims whenever you kill an enemy with a melee. Even the mini stim would go a long way to making a pure melee build viable, especially if the rumors of weapon customization are true. And peak physique would have a lot more valuable as it lets the melee hit a lot of breakpoints
At difficulty 7-8 it's still a beast, 9-10 and it's just not fast enough, even though it's actually really accurate and does a good amount of damage you just can't shoot it fast enough to get enough chaff out of the way
"Weather forecast of spicy rain with a chance of liberation"😂 You have a true way with words, Commissar. Love everything about this approach and attitude to the game in general!
I was super excited to get this because it was the weapon I needed for hanging out on low difficulties. With all the buffs, it was hard to find a primary weapon to take into missions with new players that wouldn’t hinder their experience. This weapon is the perfect solution for that. My visit the noobs on difficulty 2-4 loadout is: 1. Constitution 2. Stim pistol or senator 3. Throwing knives 4. EAT 5. Optional support weapon: - stalward or MG-43, often none. - these can be given to the new player if they are struggling or lose theirs. Or used if you find the difficulty becomes a significant challenge 6. Eagle strafing run 7. Orbital precision strike 8. Machine gun sentry (wip, might change later, its kind of powerful) - helps teach new players sentry placement 9. (Optional stratagem): anything you think is cool, but not so powerful that it takes away new players agency. Orbital stun or smoke works here if the goal is just to fill up a slot. 10. Flexible reinforcement budget booster. This makes even early game somewhat of a challenge and lets you support the new player instead of making them feel redundant. Edit: I hope they give us the shotgun support weapon so I can add it to this loadout. It adds a nice grizzled veteran aesthetic.
Great video as always, and ngl the "just lower the difficulty" line at the start is very true. Like don't get me wrong I'm 100% using this thing at Super Helldive either way right now as is, but man I am desperately anticiparting every tuesday in hopes that'll be the day they buff it. No this isn't a skill issue or anything, I do (and soon to record, youtube uploads coming soon) super helldive runs on the regular when my friends aren't available. Being objectively terrible isn't what this rifle is supposed to be, in the first game it was a powerful gun that was great at single target damage and had the highly coveted armor penetration ability. The challenge and meme of this rifle is that its a slow firing bolt action with no horde clear capability in a game all about horde clear, so I'm waiting for the patch that gives it that oh so lovely heavy penetration and gets its damage to atleast above that of the per shot to the CS. Once that's implemented, I'm gonna have a blast doing Constitution ONLY runs (no damaging strategems weapons or grenades except for the constitution, grenade pistol just for building destruction). As it stands that kind of run just isn't feasible with this gun.
I have a fun idea for a "meme" build that might actually work really well: Team Fortress Two. Each of you builds a loadout based on one of the TF@ class (example: heavy with mg and shield generator).
Well I have good news! I'm planning on doing a loadout based on the engineer class for the next video. The new halt shotgun seems perfect for the role, and with sentries being...kinda op, feels like a good time to do it.
Honestly, it was interesting charging the enemy with an old-bolt action rifle… but I have a feeling that even 100 years ago during the first Galactic War, that bolt-actions were pretty old by then too. It’s pretty good on the bug front, but not as much on the bot front.
I have the opposite opinion. With Constitution terminids just swarming you down and you cant fucking do anything. Yeah,you can reload and shoot 5 bugs if you lucky... but other meat wave is in front of you. And if you charge with bayonet you will just die. This rifle is perfect for bots. And the bayonet charge is fun as fuck
I did a game with 3 other Constitution/Senator combo users and we did fucking Napoleonic line infantry and WW1 marching fire tactics and it was a blast especially with the walking barrage and 500kg bombs
Some of my most hilarious games has been with the Strategem Roulette. It's great. Random loadout? Sometimes the synergy surprises you...sometimes it doesn't. I personally don't randomize the armor or booster. But the rest is fairgame. I adjust the difficulty according to expected performance. HIGHLY recommend. Alternative is everyone has to use the same loadout instead of random for each player. Adds more cohesiveness and feel to the game. To change things up further, if it's a BAD random set...you can change one (1) of the stratagems for your choice to make the rest work. CHOICES!
"Game too hard, it ain't fun.... on Super Helldive 10" man I'm glad we have an awesome community so we don't have to deal with this nonsense lol Love the content!
The constitution is an amazing DMR. Its strength is mid range trash clear. Since its a rounds reload weapon you need to constantly be reloading the gun to ensure you have a full mag. Knowing when to fall back is an important skill to know with this weapon. It struggles with crowd control and medium enemies and is not the best against heavies. So bringing a stratagem that can handle crowds and armor is advisable. As for medium enemies while the weapon can handle them kill times are slow as many require accurate kill shots or multiple shots to some weak points. I use the constitution for a stealth build against bots and bugs Constitution, grenade pistol, throwing knives, any light or stealth armor, eagle air strike, orbital gas, AMR and jet pack is my load out.
I wish they make like fun lobbies where there can be 20 helldivers and doing this on super helldive with that makes you an undefeated king of democracy
Speaking my language here, Kai! ...One of 'em, anyway. Having fun in video games is starting to feel like a friggin' lost art. People like you are keepin' it alive! Speaking of quad stacks... Would four railguns used in lieu of primary weapons just be high tech musket warfare?
I have a friend who while playing the first game would only, wear the ceremonial armor and use the Constitution. I haven't played with him in a little bit on 2 so I don't know if he's gonna insist on his old load out again. But I did play with another friend and we fucked about with jet packs and the constitution, though he didn't rock the senator like I did. His words on the constitution was and I quote. "This gun is dog shit." My response was cackling like a madman as I 1v1 a chainsaw handed murdermachine "I know isn't it great?"
“Someone has to look after the Dad divers, the casual divers, and butterfingers brigade, and that someone might as well be me” such beautiful Liberty spoken.
I love your non-toxic opinion on difficulty, my friends and I tend to play on 5-7 depending on how many of us are there and just how difficult we feel like going. 6-7 is a nice sweet spot for fun vs. challenge for us.
Currently in love with the servo legionnaire armor, knight, EXO Emancipator/Jump pack, strafing run, OPS and walking barrage/end strike. It’s good all around and super fun! You need to be fast, and know the terrain
0:35 HOW DARE YOU SIIR. that there is the finest rifle I ever seen since the dawning of our beloved Managed Democracy! I will not tolerate such slander because it wears the snakes skin of praise!!! I’m kidding I just really enjoy and like it. Good vid :)
I love doing a trenchdiver loadout. Its so fun to run in and set mortar turrets use gas grenades or a gas strike, heavy machine gun or flame thrower (or use the railgun for a super earth approved anti-tank rifle) its so fun.
what can i say... the important thing of a videogame is having fun, but not everyone understands it. it's not a bad weapon i tried it too, the bayonet is effective and it balances the low damages that the bullets of the rifile do with melee damages.
Love the Constitutions Rifle. It actually carried me at one point when I ran out of ammo on everything else and by the end I actually had the least death count from my squad. Will definitely play with it again for MORE dumb fun 👍👍
I just ran a bug mission with 3 randos all using the new warbond armor. (I was too) The absolute VIBE of all four of us standing in a line and laying down concentrated fire into a bug breach together was glorious. Focused Fire is glorious.

One of the new armour perks, Siege Ready, actually makes this gun a little more useable for a change, at least on higher difficulties. Gives you more ammo and reloads faster. Practically essential for running the funny ol' bolt action at this point, if you're deadly serious about making it work. My battlebuddy decided for shits and giggles to bring it and some armour with the Siege Ready perk into a Dif 6 drop, and according to him, it's not only useable now, but somewhat effective as well. Do with this information what you will.
I think a really cool "buff" they could give the constitution in terms of not actually just buffing the damage to make it compete with other primaries, would be to give it one of the old enfield style cup grenade launchers that you could mount. it would be like changing the firing style, but it would have like a 1.5 second animation and then allow you to launch either a small included explosive projectile similar to like the grenade pistol or maybe even the crossbow, or just launch one of your equipped grenades. I think being able to launch thermite grenades or HE grenades might be a little busted, so I would assume it would be like 3 or 4 included smaller grenades. It would give it more utility and the ability to clear some larger groups, but it still wouldn't really be as good at anything as the other primaries, and its still technically historically accurate and could easily fit into the actual universe. I don't personally think that the constitution needs a damage or armor pen buff, its literally just a historic item thats still in production for the average citizen to give to their 12 years old (canon) and for ceremonial use within SEAF, it shouldn't be functioning on par with the modern day weapons, otherwise Super Earth's weapons R&D teams needs some re-education. Stripper clips for the rifle would be cool too, but not really that big of a difference, especially considering that with round reload you can stay pretty stocked up in most situations other than those most dire.
Been running constitution with senator back up and gas grenades wearing the firefighter (blue trench coat) uniform and field chemist helmet with 120 barrage, orbital gas strike, walking barrage/napalm barrage, flamethrower for a ww1 vibe and it’s very fun until factory striders and gunships
constitution would be better if it has faster fire rate and stripper clip reload when empty then we are golden. the biggest draw back of the rifle is 5 rounds shooting in a horde-like game like this. they can buff all the damage they want but the lack of speed will always hindered you.

Its just a WW1 French Uniform.
Loved how this video had some nice wholesome undertones, especially at the beginning talking about how helpful teamwork is for IRL non Helldiver missions, and at the end talking about breaking away from metas and playing for fun. :)
I thought the constitution was a joke weapon but then I ran difficulty 7s and 8s with it. Turns out, it’s a headshoting machine on the automaton front, with surprisingly good handling and gentle bullet drop.
1:26 you can bring it to helldive, just don’t be the guy who decides to stab the moment they miss 3/5 shots. I saw a guy do it back to back after a reinforcement. I stopped shooting , stood there (mind you I’m getting shot at too) watched him just try to melee while surrounded. And then when I saw him getting hit too much I finished the bots off. If you have too, stab, shoot, or vice versa, dive BACKWARDS….shoot, and reload if you know you’re not going to get shot, and shoot again. I still got a 200+ elimination with the constitution on me, and without heavy armor. Yes I had other things to assist. But even stun Strats and grenades can help, also you can take out medium hard to take out enemies with a single headshot. So I’d suggest practicing headshots with the other marksman’s and snipers in third person, no don’t try getting it with the iron sights, they’re worst than using a standard M4 or M16 irl😂.
I’ve only found you recently and I absolutely love your humour and how you put fun first, it reminds me on the first few months of release when I ran with my own squad, those were the days, haha.
The constitution has been my favorite bot weapon since it came out. Been bringing it with the senator and frags and putting it with the railgun and supply pack to take out heavier enemies and it works great. Also tried it with the stalwart on 10s last night and that went pretty well too other than the 4 times I walked in front of my friend's recoilless rifle
i will say peak physique armor works ridiculously well with the bayonet, helps a lot of you use a machinegun aswell.
“Despite these challenges I decided to spend 15 hours of my life…sweet liberty, what is wrong with me?…”
Nothing sir. You are simply enlightening new recruits and veterans alike that all of democracy’s weapons are viable with the right plan and load out combo. I salute you sir.

As a dad-diver, I appreciate people like you coming down to Tier 6 with me, which is the difficulty I've found has just the right balance of difficulty and fun for me

Now we only need access to the Break Action Shotgun as a Stratagem Weapon to properly fight like our Forefathers intended.
I love it! I'm sharing this video with my group and seeing if they will go "full immersion" with me.
As a lesser skilled player, your words on difficulty resonate with me. My group plays on 8, but I'm more comfortable on 6. Life is hard enough.
“sir another team went offline”
*sigh* “is it Kai’s unit?”
“yes”
“reassign them to low risk missions”
A doughboy-themed helmet would be so nice to have for true Great War immersion!
All quiet on the bug front
this was most hilarious XD
my friends and i did a challenge on bugs where we said: NO STRATAGEMS
meaning:
- no support weapons called in
- no offensive or defensive stratagems
- no resupply
what we did was:
- scavenge support weapons from the map - we found 2 flamethrowers and a railgun
- stratagems for mission critical equipment for obvious reasons
- SEAF Artillery since it is a mission bonus
we were debating if we should use reinforcements and sattled on: NO. but that was no fun.
was a fun challenge, using only primary and scavenged weapons, actively searching the map for amo/stims/grenades.
"moderate amount of friendly fire in my back", god damn

People need to remember that Videogames are meant to be fun.
Its why they have "game" in the title.
Arrowhead should consider adding a booster that either gives you the effects of a normal stim or the syringe gun's mini stims whenever you kill an enemy with a melee.
Even the mini stim would go a long way to making a pure melee build viable, especially if the rumors of weapon customization are true. And peak physique would have a lot more valuable as it lets the melee hit a lot of breakpoints
Too excited for you to get the pike and form shield walls!
"Fun is the best meta"
Those are words PvP games will never get to understand...
At difficulty 7-8 it's still a beast, 9-10 and it's just not fast enough, even though it's actually really accurate and does a good amount of damage you just can't shoot it fast enough to get enough chaff out of the way
100% agreed, fun is allowed, and highly recommended. You do not need to play on the highest possible difficulty to have fun in any game 👍
3:47 i would unironically love watching a video where you do this
"Weather forecast of spicy rain with a chance of liberation"😂
You have a true way with words, Commissar. Love everything about this approach and attitude to the game in general!
I was super excited to get this because it was the weapon I needed for hanging out on low difficulties.
With all the buffs, it was hard to find a primary weapon to take into missions with new players that wouldn’t hinder their experience.
This weapon is the perfect solution for that.
My visit the noobs on difficulty 2-4 loadout is:
1. Constitution
2. Stim pistol or senator
3. Throwing knives
4. EAT
5. Optional support weapon:
- stalward or MG-43, often none.
- these can be given to the new player if they are struggling or lose theirs. Or used if you find the difficulty becomes a significant challenge
6. Eagle strafing run
7. Orbital precision strike
8. Machine gun sentry (wip, might change later, its kind of powerful)
- helps teach new players sentry placement
9. (Optional stratagem): anything you think is cool, but not so powerful that it takes away new players agency. Orbital stun or smoke works here if the goal is just to fill up a slot.
10. Flexible reinforcement budget booster.
This makes even early game somewhat of a challenge and lets you support the new player instead of making them feel redundant.
Edit: I hope they give us the shotgun support weapon so I can add it to this loadout. It adds a nice grizzled veteran aesthetic.
Great video as always, and ngl the "just lower the difficulty" line at the start is very true. Like don't get me wrong I'm 100% using this thing at Super Helldive either way right now as is, but man I am desperately anticiparting every tuesday in hopes that'll be the day they buff it. No this isn't a skill issue or anything, I do (and soon to record, youtube uploads coming soon) super helldive runs on the regular when my friends aren't available. Being objectively terrible isn't what this rifle is supposed to be, in the first game it was a powerful gun that was great at single target damage and had the highly coveted armor penetration ability.
The challenge and meme of this rifle is that its a slow firing bolt action with no horde clear capability in a game all about horde clear, so I'm waiting for the patch that gives it that oh so lovely heavy penetration and gets its damage to atleast above that of the per shot to the CS. Once that's implemented, I'm gonna have a blast doing Constitution ONLY runs (no damaging strategems weapons or grenades except for the constitution, grenade pistol just for building destruction). As it stands that kind of run just isn't feasible with this gun.
I have a fun idea for a "meme" build that might actually work really well: Team Fortress Two. Each of you builds a loadout based on one of the TF@ class (example: heavy with mg and shield generator).
Well I have good news! I'm planning on doing a loadout based on the engineer class for the next video. The new halt shotgun seems perfect for the role, and with sentries being...kinda op, feels like a good time to do it.
@@CommissarKaiengineer builds are my favorite!
Honestly, it was interesting charging the enemy with an old-bolt action rifle… but I have a feeling that even 100 years ago during the first Galactic War, that bolt-actions were pretty old by then too.
It’s pretty good on the bug front, but not as much on the bot front.
I have the opposite opinion.
With Constitution terminids just swarming you down and you cant fucking do anything. Yeah,you can reload and shoot 5 bugs if you lucky... but other meat wave is in front of you. And if you charge with bayonet you will just die.
This rifle is perfect for bots.
And the bayonet charge is fun as fuck
The "lower the difficulty"" had me. lol
Dropping that barrage beacon after being ragdolled was like - Oh oh, we Fd up.
Fuck, i'm renaming our weekly Helldiver group the 'butterfinger brigade' in honor of this video :-D
I did a game with 3 other Constitution/Senator combo users and we did fucking Napoleonic line infantry and WW1 marching fire tactics and it was a blast especially with the walking barrage and 500kg bombs
“Not one step back” when being overwhelmed is such a Commissar thing to say, checks out 😂
Some of my most hilarious games has been with the Strategem Roulette.
It's great. Random loadout? Sometimes the synergy surprises you...sometimes it doesn't.
I personally don't randomize the armor or booster. But the rest is fairgame. I adjust the difficulty according to expected performance.
HIGHLY recommend.
Alternative is everyone has to use the same loadout instead of random for each player. Adds more cohesiveness and feel to the game. To change things up further, if it's a BAD random set...you can change one (1) of the stratagems for your choice to make the rest work.
CHOICES!
"Game too hard, it ain't fun.... on Super Helldive 10"
man I'm glad we have an awesome community so we don't have to deal with this nonsense lol
Love the content!
The constitution is an amazing DMR. Its strength is mid range trash clear. Since its a rounds reload weapon you need to constantly be reloading the gun to ensure you have a full mag. Knowing when to fall back is an important skill to know with this weapon. It struggles with crowd control and medium enemies and is not the best against heavies. So bringing a stratagem that can handle crowds and armor is advisable. As for medium enemies while the weapon can handle them kill times are slow as many require accurate kill shots or multiple shots to some weak points.
I use the constitution for a stealth build against bots and bugs Constitution, grenade pistol, throwing knives, any light or stealth armor, eagle air strike, orbital gas, AMR and jet pack is my load out.
They literally stabbed a tank to death..... some serious Steel Commanders.
We need more of this. Memes & gimmicks can give this game more longevity than anything else.
i love that he even put the audio on german. greetings from the country who tried it twice and lost both times
I wish they make like fun lobbies where there can be 20 helldivers and doing this on super helldive with that makes you an undefeated king of democracy
Speaking my language here, Kai! ...One of 'em, anyway. Having fun in video games is starting to feel like a friggin' lost art. People like you are keepin' it alive!
Speaking of quad stacks... Would four railguns used in lieu of primary weapons just be high tech musket warfare?
It has become my main on both fronts 🤩 I hope that your video will convince people to do the same.
I have a friend who while playing the first game would only, wear the ceremonial armor and use the Constitution.
I haven't played with him in a little bit on 2 so I don't know if he's gonna insist on his old load out again.
But I did play with another friend and we fucked about with jet packs and the constitution, though he didn't rock the senator like I did.
His words on the constitution was and I quote. "This gun is dog shit." My response was cackling like a madman as I 1v1 a chainsaw handed murdermachine "I know isn't it great?"
"... a forecast of spicy rain with a chance of liberation" had me dyin' lol
Returned to the game after quite a few months away. Glad to see I can now completely fall into the WWI trench fighter mentality
“Someone has to look after the Dad divers, the casual divers, and butterfingers brigade, and that someone might as well be me” such beautiful Liberty spoken.
You'll put your eye out with that thing!
I love your non-toxic opinion on difficulty, my friends and I tend to play on 5-7 depending on how many of us are there and just how difficult we feel like going. 6-7 is a nice sweet spot for fun vs. challenge for us.
As a dad diver who loves bayonets, I appreciate you.
Currently in love with the servo legionnaire armor, knight, EXO Emancipator/Jump pack, strafing run, OPS and walking barrage/end strike.
It’s good all around and super fun!
You need to be fast, and know the terrain
0:35 HOW DARE YOU SIIR. that there is the finest rifle I ever seen since the dawning of our beloved Managed Democracy! I will not tolerate such slander because it wears the snakes skin of praise!!!
I’m kidding I just really enjoy and like it. Good vid :)
I love doing a trenchdiver loadout. Its so fun to run in and set mortar turrets use gas grenades or a gas strike, heavy machine gun or flame thrower (or use the railgun for a super earth approved anti-tank rifle) its so fun.
what can i say... the important thing of a videogame is having fun, but not everyone understands it. it's not a bad weapon i tried it too, the bayonet is effective and it balances the low damages that the bullets of the rifile do with melee damages.
Love the Constitutions Rifle. It actually carried me at one point when I ran out of ammo on everything else and by the end I actually had the least death count from my squad. Will definitely play with it again for MORE dumb fun 👍👍
I just ran a bug mission with 3 randos all using the new warbond armor. (I was too)
The absolute VIBE of all four of us standing in a line and laying down concentrated fire into a bug breach together was glorious.
Focused Fire is glorious.
Best Helldivers video ever .
I love how yall all came together to take out the tank the old fashion way 😂😂
This is basically what trench divers are at their purest. HELL YEAH!!
4:02 Proud member of the Butterfingers Brigade and the Noob Squadron reporting in. *salutes* - less than 10 hours played, nothing unlocked yet but I'll be damned from letting that stop me spreading that DEMOCRACY!

Damn, bro really called me out like that
I honestly hope that the Constitution gets a buff. I like it to be a little better than the senator.
One of the new armour perks, Siege Ready, actually makes this gun a little more useable for a change, at least on higher difficulties. Gives you more ammo and reloads faster. Practically essential for running the funny ol' bolt action at this point, if you're deadly serious about making it work.
My battlebuddy decided for shits and giggles to bring it and some armour with the Siege Ready perk into a Dif 6 drop, and according to him, it's not only useable now, but somewhat effective as well. Do with this information what you will.
You might want to consider a "Modernist" squad:
Quazar, Sickle, Loyalist, Shield Pack. "Assault"
Lascanon, Scythe, Loyalist, Dog-Rover. "Firewall"
Railgun, Scorcher, Dagger, Jumppack. "Sharpshooter"
Arcthrower, Purifier, Dagger, Supply Pack. "Utility"
Strategems: Orb. Railgun &/or Lazor.
Rest per preference.
I think a really cool "buff" they could give the constitution in terms of not actually just buffing the damage to make it compete with other primaries, would be to give it one of the old enfield style cup grenade launchers that you could mount. it would be like changing the firing style, but it would have like a 1.5 second animation and then allow you to launch either a small included explosive projectile similar to like the grenade pistol or maybe even the crossbow, or just launch one of your equipped grenades. I think being able to launch thermite grenades or HE grenades might be a little busted, so I would assume it would be like 3 or 4 included smaller grenades. It would give it more utility and the ability to clear some larger groups, but it still wouldn't really be as good at anything as the other primaries, and its still technically historically accurate and could easily fit into the actual universe. I don't personally think that the constitution needs a damage or armor pen buff, its literally just a historic item thats still in production for the average citizen to give to their 12 years old (canon) and for ceremonial use within SEAF, it shouldn't be functioning on par with the modern day weapons, otherwise Super Earth's weapons R&D teams needs some re-education. Stripper clips for the rifle would be cool too, but not really that big of a difference, especially considering that with round reload you can stay pretty stocked up in most situations other than those most dire.
Fun is indeed the best doctrine.
Honestly I've been using the constitution since i started playing and I've been having a blast with it
There is a Democracy officer incredibly confused and annoyed and weirdly proud at the same time because of this.
A whole squad of bayonets. beautiful. (I like the Constitution w/ Airburst rocket on lvl 10 Bots)
Been running constitution with senator back up and gas grenades wearing the firefighter (blue trench coat) uniform and field chemist helmet with 120 barrage, orbital gas strike, walking barrage/napalm barrage, flamethrower for a ww1 vibe and it’s very fun until factory striders and gunships
constitution would be better if it has faster fire rate and stripper clip reload when empty
then we are golden.
the biggest draw back of the rifle is 5 rounds shooting in a horde-like game like this. they can buff all the damage they want but the lack of speed will always hindered you.
