Hope all you soldiers have a fantastic weekend! Squash those bugs.
easiest way to kill a charger is, two shots to any leg with railgun, then just shot it with a breaker when the leg is yellow. love the gamepaly tho
That revolver is fun you get 40 rnds for it and it's saved me quite a bit this eve I enjoy it but would rather a heavy semi pistol
The shield was really useful in those moments to prevent you from being slowed. Would the laser Guard Dog be a good alternative? Instead of protecting you, it would kill trash mobs that would have it you.
Cool vid but try soloing without the Shield + Railgun meta.
the 500k is so underwhelming. it needs a buff regarding the aoe
Soloing Helldive difficulty means you deserve that hug.

That shot at 28:38 with the flashing lights backlighting the BT... man what a game
Considering this game was built on an absolute potato engine, it has no business looking as good as it does.
Straight out of Godzilla 2014.
Yeah that moment caught my eye too.. also reminded me of the Stranger Things sky creature thing how the Titan flashes in the fog.
This game has so many cinematic moments it's nuts
How come I already knew exactly what clip this was lol
@@MikeBenko wdym potato engine it's the same engine as Darktide and Vermintide, both beautiful games
Sasuke yelling "GET SOME" will always be funny
I never watched Naruto so I just know the voice actor as the voice actor for almost all games with voice acting, dude literally does everything
Hes also spiderman too iirc
@@terichix8494yeah he is
@@Green13Gaming lol ikr! you should definitely watch Naruto. Great anime! And sasukes voice is always what i think of when hearing his voice on games.
I mainly hear fallout...voiced a lot of characters in those games!
This is wild as hell, only 15 min in and I see why he is the Death Captain (His deaths included) and I learned a lot to protect Liber Tea!
For some reason this game is just one of those games where watching it does no justice. I got off of dayz to play this for a little while before bed and I love dayz have a functioning base I have to maintain and all but this game just keeps drawing me back the voice acting and sheer volume and cinematic gameplay for this game is insaneeee
same bro dayz is a great game and i come back all time when i feel like but atm HD2 got me hooked hard! last time i had that was when Arma 2: Dayz Mod came out
Same I had no idea I would be having so much fun. And every evening I keep telling myself, just one more match. All of a sudden it's 1:30 am already.
very true, could not understand the hype while watching gameplay on YT, but once i played it for myself it all clicked
same. exact same
@Cookieboy70 Omg I'm getting less than 5 hours of sleep per day now but somehow I'm doing very good at work surprisingly. This game got me in a chokehold.
A 45 Minute Aculite video!! Thanks for hoookin it up homie!

You a cop?
These replies lol
A few tips to help spread democracy for the bugs. So for solos the guard dog rover is great, having something watching your back is incredible. The chargers if you shoot the leg twice with the rail gun their armor breaks off on the leg and you can shoot them with the breaker and it kills them in a few good shots. For stalker lairs, if you look at the direction their coming from most of the time they lead you back to the nest, you can also for some reason ping the stalker lairs on the map before you’ve actually discovered them on the map. Bile titans if you shoot their stomachs off they can’t laser beam you anymore. Also the orbital rail cannon stratagem has the potential to one shot the bile, if it doesn’t you can usually kill it after a couple well placed railgun shots
Appreciate the tips
It's not just the stalker lair either - You can actually ping any point of interest on the map whenever. Just pass your cursor over it and see if it changes.
Also, another tip: Impact grenades rule, you can just delete entire groups of small to medium enemies with them. The only downside is that you have to kobe them exactly into the hole from the front if you want to destroy hives with them, but it's a non-problem if you're not doing secondary objectives anyway.
Personal preference here, but I think the shield pack is better than the Guard Dog at higher difficulty.
@@danielhaywood9695 yeah I agree, the key is to be as stealthy as possible when solo on harder difficulties so you don't get mobbed and can get the objectives and side quests/samples. the rover just attracts attention
Where to Place the railgun Shots on the Titan?
the trail blazer scout helmet secretly raises your speed by 6-7 points. when you are wearing a 544 light armor it brings you up to 550, it also reduces armor but armor is still broken atm so its not really a problem. the actual armor has a secret perk of being able to hover over spots on the mini map and it will tell you locations of poi's when you cursor over it.
I will definitely look into this. Ty!
Hope this doesn’t get nerfed anytime soon. Armors need a buff as their usability is limited by how much speed is offered coupled with whatever perk is more useful for the mission
Hovering your cursor over the map for POIs works with any armor, it's not a secret stat for any particular one, just as an FYI
theres an armor that makes u immune to burn dmg. it was the white one from the first pages in the warbond
@@martinivanov1319 unless it’s your fire you are immune to fire damage with any armor
This video is patriotic asf
RAAAAAAHHHH!!!🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸
For democracy my fellow brothers🦅🦅🦅🦅
35:55 that shot on the flying jumper was awesome
I waited the whole video anticipating that for it to be the most basic killing spree of all time. But its cool you enjoyed it🎉
@@netx7377lmao apologies my man, i'm a simple minded person i guess who gets easily impressed.
Hell yeah, 45min of Aculite blowing up bugs, let’s get the popcorn
This game is so much fun. Going to enjoy every video you put out on this Aculite.
Aculite you are a beast!!
Fantastic content, i was there with you the hole way thru 🤙🏻
Going in solo is a true testament that you are a whole element by yourself without reliance on a squad to pick you up a true helldiver and one hell i must say one deserving of that cape
Having a Squad literally slows down how quickly you come back to life after dying lol. All a squad does is pull more pats, friendly fire you, and use up more ammo, and do bad call ins.
@@poppinlochnesshopster3249Untrue, a decent squad is invaluable, more boosters, more stratagems, more reinforce...typically i find those who complain the most about others are, themselves, the real issue
this is freaking awesome!! can't wrap my head around how you and other players are doing this in a game that is designed to be unforgiving and literally impossible solo. great stuff !
i love these kinds of videos, the commentary is gold
more solo missions like this..damn what a game
Thank you for all you do brother. I know you be making bread but simultaneously you bless us all and give us a break in this evil, hard world we live in
the meat riding is crazy man
@@GerardButIeryou're named after an actor get a grip. Showing somebody appreciation isn't meat riding, what your dad did you to as a kid is...
@@TheHoneyBadger12😂😂
my guy youre acting like aculite is saving dying children. dude is a good youtuber but lets not start gargling his seed@@TheHoneyBadger12
Nice beemer
I learned so much watching this. Thanks, and excellent job delivering Democracy.
Insane Helldivers skills Aculite, you the man!
Loving the HD2 content! High difficulty solo is so much fun. One thing I've learned is you can shoot an almost fully charged unsafe shot into the bile titan's mouth and it will explode its head, killing it instantly. Start the charge right before it pauses to spew and bury it in the back of it's throat. It helps to use the ADS dot to aim it. Once you get the timing you'll be dropping Biles faster than chargers. You can sometimes even do it without them being in the spew animation it's just not guaranteed.
Wow that was a super satisfying video ! Your aiming and skills in general as a player makes it feel so fun to watch.
Makes me want to join the fight and spread some LIBERTY !!
This game truly has some amazing cinematic shots, this planet shows that very well! Good job on this, the stress was palpable through the video LOL - I'm usually not a big coop guy, so I'm glad to see it's at least *possible* to do some epic solo stuff here.
Fun fact about that Scout armour - if you bring up the map, hit right click and hover over said map (whilst moving the cursor around), it will show areas of interest for you to drop the pin and then ping it. :D Super helpful if you run Blitz missions and are looking for samples; just don't bother with the objective and wait for extract.
Top tier gameplay, Aculite. One caveat; use impact grenades.
Hey Aculite, long time no see (sort to speak hah), I used to watch a lot of you on the pub g early days because I liked that content and found you and your really soothing (at least for me) voice (It has helped me a lot of times when I was ill, it's really comforting) and since then I moved on from that content and fps in general and I stooped watching. I've just seen recommended this video and I thought it perfect to watch you and to see for the first time gameplay of this game everyone is talking about.
I gotta say you are as good as I remembered and also this video is going into my "Awesome sht" playlist because I think it literally was epic, movie like, the tension, the drama death moments, the "get back to the objective or it's cancelled" with the timers... perfection. I was glued to the screen and those 45 mins felt like 20,
I'm very glad to see you still doing what you enjoy and I hope you keep doing you, whatever you is (I know, I know, kinda cheese and all, but I really mean it!)
Welcome back, Marco. I still do post the usual stuff but I have since started playing other things that I enjoy. Not cheese at all. I appreciate the message and I hope everything has been good with you!
Yeah, actually this past year has been like my "start to live" point \o/ / Also, what other things are those you've been trying out? I just quickly checked the youtube vids and pretty much saw a lot but I don't know the "new" stuff if that makes sense. I love when pple open themselves (and well, their content) to new stuff, it's always progress, one way or another!@@Aculite
Been running a LOT of solo missions recently on HD2. Imo-it makes you way better at the team aspect and you learn when to avoid conflict.
Such videos as this are always amazing to watch! Great content!
*hugs* "Thank you for your service for Democracy and Liber-Tea!"
"hugs"
time to kill those "bugs"
Covert builds are underrated man. hope we get silenced weapons and covert stratagems soon. Great run!
This convinced me to buy the game before I even hit the 10 minute mark, thank you
First time watching a helldiver 2 gameplay without getting bored after 2 minutes
Your target swapping and situational awareness is frankly superb.
Very impressed with your play!
Not sure if you know yet but there is a setting. Remember last sight or something that lets you go right back into whatever sight you last left it at and you it works on all guns.
There is also another setting which I think is even better, "hybrid aim mode" or something - Toggling it on will make it so that clicking your aim button once puts you immediately into first person, while holding it aims in third person.
Thats great to know. Though would awesome to have an OPTION toggle for pure fps. Trading situational awarness for immersion, better sneak, possibly aim. Maybe balanced team by having be set Preferred: Pure FPS, Hybrid or Pure TPS
To avoid someone whining about failed mission due to one dude or all but him being in FP not being as aware of certain enemies
"Fist of Family Values"
I still can't get over that ship name.
"Ah" *explosion*
You a g man, hilarious and entertaining for this being the first video I watch, g shit, keep up the good work man
For every game like this, there is a gonna be a giga chad to solo the hardest difficulty. I always look forward to seeing you guys do that
Great vid, your movement is really fun to look at, also appreciate that there's no music in the back so it's easier to listen to what you're saying 😎
That run was insane... when you got to Pelican one... I breathed with relief at the same time you did. lol. You are good man, any chance we could get a keybindings guide? controlling the map/dropping pins was the best I've seen.
What a run, I tossed it on for background noise but I ended up glued to it. GG
This is 100000% better than any DMZ content! Love it man, keep em coming!
Your amazing man, thanks for the gameplay.
Man, I don't know how you can be so calm in situations like this.
GG Aculite, you're the MAN.
Great run. Glad you stopped for the samples too!
I learned a lot by watching this. I personally love playing solo in games like these. If I remember correctly, the first Helldivers changed the sound of the gun firing based on how empty your clip was.? So you had an audio cue for when you needed to reload. Maybe it was a different game. Regardless, it would be nice if this game had that feature...
it does
Gears also did that, as well as a few other shooters. It's a solid feature.
It is kinda subtle but it absolutely does let you know.
love a good aculite video early in the morning eating a raspberry poptart listening to his soothing voice
This is the first video of helldivers2 I've watched, had me on the edge of my seat, I'm still playing helldivers1.
the trailblazer scout helmet has a hidden effect of slightly improving your speed and regen, while dropping your armor slightly more (for when they fix armor)
Absolutely AMAZING video Aculite
Massive fan of the Helldiver books by Sansbury Smith. Awesome to see it come alive as a video game. And what a good Job the devs done
Just found this channel. I love the videos bro!!
man we can watch 45 mins of just ¨hugs¨and ill watch it twice. Great video man i ate dinner while watching it, best dinner all month hahahah
Oh my god was this video tense! It was almost like a good action movie for me.Thank you for the good entertainment!
Loved the video, Aculite.
Now, where is the full Helldive difficulty mission-campaign video?
In the settings u can set it to remember what ur last "Aim down Sights" setting is. So you can set a gun to always be in first person mode when u aim. Or opposite for orher guns, its a good setting for people that prefer exclusively first person when aiming.
please do more of those! we need more of those!!
That was insane! Great job!
best gameplay i've seen. really good vid
I love the revolver. Specially since you can reload it without loosing amo if you have a partial cylinder
Praise be with you, brother 🙏 🙌
The pistol/shotgun combo is op. I love it. Just with the pistol had more ammo
Love you so much and what you Aculite ❤
Excellent show Aculite 👏🏾
hey man awesome video! May i ask what your video and graphic settings are?
Good job man 👏
You did awesome 👌
Im a little surprised you didnt take care of the stalkers nest immediately as you found out it was there, seems like
unnecessary danger to put yourself in situations with a breach AND stalkers spawning.
Good run, couldnt imagine myself doing that solo xD
Kudos, that was epic!
Clutch up at the end was insane. Made it look easy
For ALGORITHMIC DEMOCRACY! love all you Aculite.
Great job man that was awesome
fantastic gameplay man. I really enjoyed. And all the time not over resting heart rate. fabulous! 👍😂👏
As far as the guns go, the Breaker is definitely the best overall, but I think it does have at least some competition.
The Defender SMG in particular is really good - Not as much immediate punch, but a bit more precise, and it can be fired one-handed (Meaning you can shoot it accurately behind you while running, without slowing down). Also surprisingly ammo-efficient, because of the large mags and steady fire rate.
The standard Diligence DMR can also keep up if you're good with it, but it's definitely a "double the effort for the same result" kind of gun (Outside some very niche uses, like sniping certain bots in the head, but you don't really have the time to do that on higher difficulties most of the time).
The standard Liberator assault rifle is also surprisingly passable.
Honorable mentions:
The pump shotgun is also a decent pick (Standard against bugs, Slug variant against bots), especially if you get the rythm down. Objectively not as potent as the Breaker, but the massive mag and single reloads means that it's at least extremely ammo-efficient (even if it actually has less total ammo than the breaker, for god knows what reason).
The Knight SMG has some pretty insane DPS thanks to its fire rate, but the mags and reserve ammo pool are too small to support it, and the fact that the recoil makes run-and gun difficult kind of invalidates the point of it being an SMG. Still, decent if you put it on burst.
The Dominator (off brand bolter from the premium warbond) deals very nice damage - Will reliably kill most common bots with one center mass hit, and will put down a devastator in one headshot/4 stomach shots. But, the way the rocket projectiles start out slow and then accelerate can make it very awkward to use at range. The fire rate, total ammo, and reload speed kinda suck too, so it's not very good for dealing with bugs.
Sadly, everything else is pretty much junk by comparison. I hope they do some balancing on these, since I love how the other guns feel, but bringing them is basically throwing. It's a little sad how all the variants aside from the slugger are basically downgrades too.
25:10 For secondaries, I can definitely vouch for the revolver. It's very consistent and reliable, will put most non-elite bugs down in one good center mass/head hit - It's just that you only get six shots and then the reload on it is painfully slow. So, you really have to count your rounds and pace your shots.
I had an even more fantastic weekend because of this epic vid! Thank Aculite!
My guy isnt just a Helldiver... hes THE Helldiver... You are a shining display of Democracy
That was stressful to watch. Enough freedom delivered
A setting for 1st person only would be really cool. But, 3rd person gives you so much more situational awareness, and it might be something the devs feel players need to have. It could be that the level of situational awareness you get from 3rd person helps to make the game more fun for everyone, especially when playing with randoms.
Uuh.. That was entertaining and stressful gameplay. Super!👌🏻
Wow! This is a fun watch! Nice job!
That was sick! I struggle to solo medium as a newer player. lol
Earned you that cup of liber-tea during this one soldier!
In addition to the armor, movement type can reduce detectability. Sprinting (worse), walking, crouching, then prone (best).
Personally, I've used that armor and moved prone into a large automatron base to drop and prime a hellbomb without detection. I sure ran out of the base tho, lol 😂
That was impressive. You got yourself a new sub
Felt like a movie watching this one, well done 🔥🔥
No matter how many times you do it that first hellpod drop along with the music never gets old 😂
LONGER ACULITE LONGERRR sike nah love the vid man thank you ❤ ive been slowly soloing my way up to helldivers im on currently on level 7 haven’t tried solo out yet
That was impressive! Well done :) Meanwhile me and my friends struggle with 4 people on challenging hehe
Thermite grenades work really well on the chargers so you don’t run down ammo on the railgun or have to use up other strats. Takes a few per charger but it works well with the armor in the detonation warbond
Not sure if you've already figured this out, or if it will help. But 1-2 railgun shots to a chargers front leg will strip the armor and you can finish it off with your primary pretty quickly. Also one expendable anti-tank will strip the armor off rhe front leg and sometimes their head.
I love the sound design in this game.. it's epic
You make this look easier than the extreme missions i do in a four stack 😭😭😭
nice work man!
OMG you were amaizing mad props i was on my seat the whole time
That looked hard man!
I like the longer form content, even if you are not "entertaining" the entire time it is still good.
Tonight I saw my first ships blow up from the deck of my own ship. It was pretty epic to see and then I shortly realized those were soldiers not making it back.
Hopefully the GM/DM doesn't go too hard on us with this new bug front
That was AMAZING!
That was an amazing run man...
38:12 he said “stressful situation here”. The guy doesn’t even sound stressful, in the entire gameplay he sounds so chill and relaxed. 😎 💯
