Knowing your favorite loadouts in Helldivers, it makes sense that the first class you go for in this game would be the sniper. And yes, the infinite ammo potential is indeed unintended, so best make the most of it while you can. XD
Praise be to space king, err... I mean the emperor protects! Space Marine 2 looks like a pretty decent game for a soft reboot. A bit disappointing that we didn't get to see more of captain Titus in the deathwatch though. Great video.
It one-shots if you get the headshot, which is what you want to be going for anyway for the Cloak charge refund. Pretty sure if you stand still for 2s for the vantage point damage bonus it does one shot on bodyshots too, but even when it doesn't it instantly sends them into execute state which is actually better for getting armour back and staying alive on the higher difficulties.
SM2! Been loving the game - honestly been running bulwark and tactical a lot, and love how they handle most enemies. The only problem is when you get the double flyers that heal themselves...just too much regen to solo for me. Been looking to get into sniper for that reason (plus camo is huge for de-aggro since enemies tend to ignore AI players).
Bolt sniper just destroys the flyers yeah, 2 shots and they're done :P. Enjoy tactical a lot too, but bulwark is my lowest ranked atm, seems cool as a tank/medic!
@@newspiked7385 I just love power sword - imo it's the best melee weapon by far. Being able to block my way into the back line with shield then cause havoc for ranged enemies is super nice too. My lowest current is assault - super fun playstyle but just too glassy at higher diffs imo, they should have heavy armor or more mobility (more/faster jump charging? idk).
@@thepromman assault's my next highest at 20 :P. Definitely takes getting used to, constantly have to weigh up the risks of diving in and going ham, also think the class can let you go in on perfect dodges instead of parries. still putting it all together for now tho!
Democracy has landed! edit: it is mind boggling the amount of tyranids shown in just a single swarm, i guess each planet need to have space turret to shoot down their ships. also, how does tyranid ships operate? interesting...
Yeah, love the sheer volume of enemies it throws at you. Also very cool that taking out an elite does telepathic damage to all the chaff enemies nearby, really helps the elite killing classes do well.
Tyranid Hive Ships are actually living organisms themselves. They carry tens of thousands of bioforms to unleash onto the planet. They are effectively somewhat sentinent warship-soldier factories that enter orbit and begins bombarding the planet with Tyrannocytes. These are those fleshy, living pods that the enemy swarm out from after impact. The Hive Ships are very capable of space combat aswell against ships.
@@kentoscocos5238 Funnily enough they do not scatter out of fear! Every Tyranid are connected to the Hive Mind but the large warriors act as conduits. When a warriors is killed, the small ones get a synaptic shock that staggers or even kills them!
Sucks that the ammo regen is a bug... your first video where I saw you thought it was an actual thing with the bolt pistol perks that was giving you primary ammo looked awesome (Seemed like a cool mini game) Was wanting to try the Bolt Sniper after that... but it will be stupid to use this over the Las Fusil once the bug is fixed, unfortunately...
Yeah, annoyingly the bugged perk has to be selected to get access to Reload Restoration, which is the legit way of earning ammo back...think it'll still be powerful once fixed, but will need a lot more trickshots I reckon. Reloaded Restoration is more powerful than the Las Fusil class perk, so here's hoping.
The perk that gives you 50% of your shots hit back as ammo on reload is bugged, it works as described, then when you switch weapons and back it fills your ammo completely.
I mean, conceptually in both games you are tearing through hordes of bugs, so to uninitiated they seem comparable. Although they have many differences, my favourite one is that in one game you are an elite of the elite and in another -an expendable cannon fodder. In my headcannon helldivers experience is what its like to serve in astra militarus
it's a bug, I thought it was the reloaded restoration perk but I think that actually works fine, it seems to be the +20% ammo perk just before it that's broken. kinda lame tbh because reloaded restoration is a lot of fun and would give you enough ammo to work with if used well.

@@newspiked7385 so ammo economy is still good with this build ? I’m starting to venture towards the bolt bc it feels better as a sniper so just wanted to make sure
@@xquantumx7052 You have to economise way, more, but yeah still very viable - use your bolt pistol for small groups of minoris, knife for single majoris, then use the bolt sniper for multiple majoris and large groups of minoris where you can proc Reloaded Restoration easily. For the fast-moving Extremis like the Lictors, I would actually stick to the knife as landing headshots is tricky. When you're near an ammo box, you can really go ham with the Bolt Sniper. I need to put up another run post update just to show how it plays now, not as abusable but still one of the best majoris killers!
The 20% max ammo weapon perk appears to be bugged, it just gifts you ammo every time you swap. A similar bug exists on the Las Fusil weapon perk but you need to be low HP. Hopefully they fix it soon because the Bolt Sniper actually can generate ammo legitimately with the Reloaded Restoration perk, but you need to be hitting groups of enemies to start running a surplus.
decided against doing a full build guide, have a feeling a bunch of stuff will get patched, but I'll put out a coop sniper run I think and then just show the skill trees
Bolt Sniper does the same (without the bug) and its version is even better, as it refunds 50% of the shots hit even on single targets, and if you hit 4 enemies with one shot, you get 2 shots, where Las Fusil only ever gives you 1 back. Las Fusil also has its own swap-for-infinite bug, but it needs you to be below 30% HP. Hopefully both get patched, as neither needs the infinite ammo to be powerfu.
The perk that gives you 50% of your shots hit back as ammo on reload is bugged, it works as described, then when you switch weapons and back it fills your ammo completely.
It's a weapon perk on the Bolt Sniper, in the last section (relic) - should have a short build video coming out tomorrow if that helps! I'm enjoying both the Bolt Sniper and the Fusil, but the Sniper has that edge in responsiveness for me.
@@FrostRare afaik no, though there may be a way if you reconnect before quitting the game? The roadmap says we're getting private lobbies soon tho so you may want to wait for them.
No worries, next video is a ruthless solo run, no incapacitations, with "worst pve class in the game" assault. Hope you don't mind that my Thunder Hammer is infinite ammo too. (and when they fix the swap bug I'll be happy to showcase this build again :P)
Democr... for the emperor!
Brother! Is that a bolt sniper under your camo-cloak, or are you just happy to purify xenos? Huh, it's just stacks and stacks of ammo...
Por que no los dos?
Ah a raptors chapter build.
Damn this Helldivers update looks weird
Fully expected you to just cloak up and walk past everything until the finale.
Thankfully the cloak requires a little more action to feed it :P
Knowing your favorite loadouts in Helldivers, it makes sense that the first class you go for in this game would be the sniper. And yes, the infinite ammo potential is indeed unintended, so best make the most of it while you can. XD
Glad to see someone playing sniper with Bolt Sniper, I was starting to feel alone in my preference for it.
Yeah, I don't get the hate, it 2-shots Rubrics and has much snappier aim than the Las Fusil, what more could you want?
Main thing I'd want in Helldivers 2 are those cool melee knife kills. 🗡
Praise be to space king, err... I mean the emperor protects! Space Marine 2 looks like a pretty decent game for a soft reboot. A bit disappointing that we didn't get to see more of captain Titus in the deathwatch though. Great video.
The Deathwatch intro was cool, but yeah not just Deathwatch, I was missing more involvement from the other Space Marine Chapters.
Just knew you'd be spreading fear amoung the bugs in this world too, keep them coming brother look forward to more, FOR THE EMPEROR!
FOR THE EMPEROR IVE BEEN WAITING FORV THIS
As soon as I saw this thing 2 shot a medium enemy, I knew you'd be rocking it 😄
40K AMR
I really like H2, but your Spacemarine gameplay is outstanding)
It's absolutely crazy to me how the bolt sniper rifle cant kill gaunts in one hit. Weapon 100% needs a buff
It one-shots if you get the headshot, which is what you want to be going for anyway for the Cloak charge refund. Pretty sure if you stand still for 2s for the vantage point damage bonus it does one shot on bodyshots too, but even when it doesn't it instantly sends them into execute state which is actually better for getting armour back and staying alive on the higher difficulties.
Lore Accurate Space Marine lol.
I was hoping you’d play this ❤
Well look who finally enlisted.
PVP and mission was a lot of fun. Been playing this modes for weeks now, and I haven't even finished the campaign and I don't want to.

What this game needs in co-op is a random map generation but keep the random spawn count on foes.

What's the infinite ammo glitch you're using? reload swapping weapons back and forward seems to send you back to full
The perk that gives you 50% of your shots hit back as ammo on reload is bugged, it works as described, then when you switch weapons and back it fills your ammo completely.
I will never understand why people compare this to HD2. It plays completely differently.
I mean, conceptually in both games you are tearing through hordes of bugs, so to uninitiated they seem comparable.
Although they have many differences, my favourite one is that in one game you are an elite of the elite and in another -an expendable cannon fodder.
In my headcannon helldivers experience is what its like to serve in astra militarus
@Smartem_ idk about all that. They need to stop. SM2 plays like World War Z with worse controls, refunded after 2 hours.
Wow didnt know theres a Helldivers 3 already
Why are you getting ammo back just from swapping weapons ??
it's a bug, I thought it was the reloaded restoration perk but I think that actually works fine, it seems to be the +20% ammo perk just before it that's broken. kinda lame tbh because reloaded restoration is a lot of fun and would give you enough ammo to work with if used well.
How are you constantly getting ammo back for the bolt sniper? I never feel like I have enough ammo on that gun

Ah so bugs got some new units I see
Does the reload part still work post patch?
Yup! Reload part was always intended, the swap part was not.

how do you keep getting more ammo?

So how is your build crafting dude i need that

@@newspiked7385 Ou. Ok dude thx hehe no problem
how are you getting ammo all the time?
Ammo glitch. It'd be impossible to run this sniper without it. I main the Las sniper only because it's perks give it ammo back on multi kills.
Bolt Sniper does the same (without the bug) and its version is even better, as it refunds 50% of the shots hit even on single targets, and if you hit 4 enemies with one shot, you get 2 shots, where Las Fusil only ever gives you 1 back.

0 revives smh my head
How do you have infinite ammo? You just switch weapons and your ammo is full again?!

@@newspiked7385 Is that a class perk, or weapon perk. Nice gameplay tho, I'm grinding the Bolt SR instead of Las Fusil, so your vid really inspired me

What do you mean “solo”?
No player teammates, only bots - don't think there's a way to turn off bots.
