To make this clear because I am getting lots of comments. The “griefer” killed my teammate, took his backpack and support weapon and was bragging about it while also saying nasty things on the mic. I know samples are shared
Additional Tip: The "Fortified" Armor Passive will allow you to barely survive the explosive damage
You can just kick and block him
I wasnt party leader but after this happened everyone left him to fail the mission@@Renesansakaalex
@@DrPooplove oh ok
In the video you said the gun wasn't very effective against chargers, but when I tried it I absolutely EVISCERATED their weak point on the rear?
@@PHATERTL yeah I have tested it out further and I agree it’s pretty good for that
PLAS-1 Scorcher experience:
Magazine is empty!
I need to reload!
Last reload!
Out of ammo!
True
Scorcher goes good with Arc Thrower
Hunters jump on you, you shoot them, die to splash damage.
@@magnusiocus2828Or you could melee them run, pull your pistol and fire behind you without aim button (lets you run and fire behind you)
The tiny amount of damage it puts out is laughable too.
This gun changed my life. I haven't gone back to the breaker at all since I unlocked the scorcher two weeks ago. Just wish it had a magazine capacity increase.
Thoughts on comboing it with a supply backpack?
@@BlackTempleGaurdian Goated! Use the grenade launcher, flamethrower, railgun AMR, or arc thrower with it along with a mech for easy mission completions
@@BlackTempleGaurdian how do u give yourself ammo on controller with it?
Down on the d-pad!
@@ClairvoyantLastrusIdk, mechas are a nieche, I for example can’t cope with their low health and can do more with a 500kg, an autocannon/gatling sentry an orbital laser, a recoilless/EAT or a supply backpack. I don’t want to invalidate your playstile at all, but taking the mech is less of general advice as "always place sentries on ridgelines/boulders to protect you and your team from friendly fire", "place sentries with a distance to enemies so they don’t have to readjust that much angle and are better protected against melee", "collect all samples always" or "always keep bugs at distance" are
My wife says it's this gun or her. She will be missed.
The best thing I've bought since my combat knife!
What if she was hot and had big tits
The item reviews 😂
AT-ST btw. AT-AT are the ginormous ones that get wrapped up on Hoth. ST's are the ones Chewie steals on Endor. For Biles if you get an orbital railcannon strike on it, shooting the stomachs with the scorcher will generally finish it off. Melee button against bugs is helpful, fortified armor (recoil reduction and explosive damage resist) is also handy.
I feel like the AT-RT is better to call them since they are open
@@BearlyBearrrI can certainly see that, squarish design calls to mind more st for me but I wouldn't call RT out like I did AT-AT 8P
@@kylelantan9220can you imagine a robot camel with canon turets just coming over from the horizion when your extracting
@@BearlyBearrr I just call them what they are, striders.
@@kylelantan9220 I definitely see the inspiration came from the AT-RT for sure.
Used the Plas-1 in several bot missions today and I enjoyed it a great deal. My only complaint is that it needs a few more rounds per mag. Haven’t tried it on Termanids but on Bots it was very good. Good dmg, range, accuracy.
What the hell is helldivers, i don't know how i keep being on the wrong side of these huge releases, baldurs gate went right over my head to almost universal acclaim, now helldivers is the big thing and i have no idea what it is. I'm just happy people found a game to spend time with that came without many issues apart from the servers
It’s a pve tactical third person shooter! It’s very fun and since we don’t get Factions 2 it is keeping me busy. I think it’s worth checking out!
Baldurs gate is the GOAT
2 funny things are taking over the galaxy so you’re here to defend super earth and spreading democracy to planets
Do yourself a favor and try it out.
Now that the servers are largely fixed. There has never been a better time to play, and the playerbase is larger than ever.
Dont worry baldurs gate 3 isnt that great. 2 is the best play 1 and 2. This game had a bit of.a shadow release not witjout some reveal awhile back. Its a soft early access game as well
"Hey son what're you watching?"
"Im watching Dr pooplove"
"Oh"
Usually when I use the scorcher, I will bring along a Stalwart lmg on my back. On high difficulties, while my scorcher deals with bigger bugs, I will use my lmg to deal with infinite amount of small bug hordes.
Need to rely on my friends to deal with chargers or titans though.
Do you wear a pack of some sort as well?
@Joe_Friday Sometimes a shield generator pack, sometimes resupply packs, sometimes ammo packs for team weapons.
Better to run gattling sentry instead of stalward and run railgun for big boys. Then again id swap out scorcher for breaker against bugs anyway
instead of stalwart, i'd rather pick the arc guns, good at killing small and medium, decent for chargers, only problem would be bile titan for which you can take 500kg or orbital rail, and you are basically a jack of all.
I highly recommend the Arc Thrower alongside the scorcher, though it will take a few missions to learn the gun

For Freedom 🫡
Slugger is a beast to anything under a charger it will pen and kill in 3 shots to the face
only problem would be dealing with the ungodly numbers of chaff at higher difficulties, for which i bring an arc gun
The shield is simulated and not just a buff
There's actually a layer of it and it will protect anything inside from the outside,
Someone proved this by hugging another diver next to a nuke
The devs (or maybe the CEO) has said they tried to actually model/simulate as much as they can so they can get cool interactions like this. Also why we get grenades that can be pushed around by enemies, and even bounce back!
After weeks of grinding whenever I had the chance I have the plas-1 and the full hero of the federation armor and man do I look good spreading democracy
Do you like ot better than the Breaker? I don't have the Scorcher yet. I was thinking the Breaker for bugs and Scorcher for bots.
@@Joe_Friday yeah I prefer it for both because it has more range just be careful with bugs since if you get surrounded you need to pull out your secondary because otherwise you’ll kill yourself with the plas-1
@@Joe_FridayIt is a fantastic weapon if you know how to aim and shoot. No random spray and pray with this one.
it kills me when people call it an AT AT, its like an AT ST!! lmao good video though, I cant wait to get this one. on page 5 right now, been focusing on the premium pages first
Im a fake star wars fan :(
@@DrPooplove likewise mate.
It's okay, I can never remember which is which either.@@DrPooplove
This is a great weapon against the Bots but for the bugs I use the sickle.
AT-ST, not AT-AT.
Thank you for your service
Dang
Ha! Nerd!
I use it with the supply backpack and a quasar. Pretty decent combo.
Hmm I think I'm good with Breaker + Auto/Sniper
Cool gun though.
Consider expl. crossbow too
SCORCHER is my favorite for automatons it can take everything below Hulk,Tank,Tower. Recently im taking it to Bugs and its doing greate.
If you shoot a whole mag into the back of a tank/turret vent you’ll destroy it because it does explosive damage
@@michaelrosen4131same with hulks, but getting their backside is tricky.
Hi Dr. PoopLove. I was curious if you’re down to play helldivers with your subscribers? I’ve been a sub since you were making tips and tricks on tlou factions and would love to party up on this game if you’re down.
For sure! Add me up!
What’s your gamer tag?
@@gabrielsmith6249 DrPooplove
And yet I keep coming back to shotguns.
Reliably needing to one or two hit chaff that’s all up in my face is just too common a situation for me.
The bowel movement. 😏 nice
Any armor with 50% explosions resistance will let you survive a close range blast from your own scorcher.
The Scorcher ist just the perfect weapons vs. Robots and not for Bugs Missions. Keep that in mind.
Depends on the bug mission. Sometimes you get swarmed by armoured spewers, and this thing destroys them.
This is just amazing on killing stalkers, took 3 stalkers out solo with one clip.
Subscribed because of name
A man of class
The PLAS slaps when paired with an Arc Thrower. You have to fill in your Heavy Armor gap with stratagems but it's a great support loadout that reliably handles anything below the Charger/Hulk level. Would I take it over Breaker/Autocannon or Breaker/Railgun if I were min/maxing? Probably not but I'm getting pretty bored with those builds and it's been fun having a backpack slot available to experiment with.
Useful mainly against automatons, that too if your style is stealth and sniping.
I've only ever witnessed the Scorcher once in-game, and it was in the hands of some other high-level guy who was playing with us. I plucked it off his corpse at one point and boy was I shocked. It was the most powerful gun I'd ever used, easily beating my Breaker. He deus ex machina'd me and my other squadmates a few times with his gun's unique ability to gun down devastators.
i want a plasma weapon that isn't explosive but rather has burning damage, like the plasma weapons from Halo (lore accurate version not the game version), would be pretty cool, but it seems the 2 plasma weapons we have gotten are explosive.
Man i wish the gun was good
Recently unlocked this, definitely going to try it against bots, I usually use the diligence or liberator for chaff clear, with the autocannon for.. well, literally every bot enemy really.
Unspoken rules: 1 supply pack per person. Do not take other people's backpacks or support weapons unless they say you can.
I try and answer SOS beacons to help lower level players and they just seem to get so excited about seeing a new gun on the floor they'll often just grab it not knowing how the gun even works. I'll be more than happy to drop you an extra one when I'm off cool down, but automatically grabbing my stuff is very rude and annoying.
JAR-15 for bugs, PLAS-1 for bots
Breaker for Bugs, Liberator for bots. But overall the Railgun and Shield meta currently dominates everything.
but JAR can 1 tap devastators, how can you argue with that?
There is nothing to argue, it’s all down to personal preference. I have fun using PLAS-1 taking out tanks, JAR-15 taking out bugs and Spore Tower across map. People can use PLAS-1 dealing bugs fine, but we all have been there when a bug suddenly jump right on your face catching your PLAS-1 round. I don’t carry railgun and replace it orbital rail cannon or Airstrike, which is far more efficient. When you are in a dire situation really requiring railgun, there are going to be plenty lying around :p
Punisher Plasma !!! beats this gun in my estimation. might have been nerfed but the splash damage is weak AF and the ammo is crazy limited on an actual bug rush. Punishers splash damage is crazy worth the small ammo in each clip
Perfect for bots, not so much for bugs... my to go against bots with a stun grenade, you can down even hulks with 4-5 shots in the back.
I bring one into the mission with me, and since it's so hard to grind for, I'll let teammates kill me to duplicate the scorcher.
If it says "explosive" it should close bug nests. Boycotting on principle
If a bug or robot is right up on ypu this thing is useless. Maybe in easy or medium its valid but 7+ hell no
ngl, the name Dr. Pooplove threw me off hard
i hope this video is hidden ASAP before dev team nerf this gun T_T
scorchers is great for landmine clearing
Not even gonna lie im on the toilet watching this
The premium experience
It's a great weapon overall but still unfortunately sits behind he Breaker in terms of utility and sheer dps. I still use it because of how tired I am of the breaker, but the Scorcher is far more situational. It really does need like 3-5 more shots per mag and less self-damage at point blank range.
Most of my deaths on bug missions aren't from bugs, but from a hunter jumping at me from off screen, right in front of my rifle, thus killing me instantly from the splash damage with virtually no time to react.
I recommend trying the slugger. it can one shot all dev bot types and honestly feels like a pump action dmr. plus being tube fed you never have to worry about wasting a mag.
I so wish you could mount longer scopes on anything you want
2:50 democracy officer! this murdering traitor right here!
It is a very shit gun. Breaker still beats it any day.
I really hope it’ll be a auto so it’ll be like Vex Mythoclast. I have the gun but the semi gets me
apparently it’s all how you use the scorcher, I think maybe I’ve overlooked this.
I love this gun
Why would people try take your supplies😂
In my experience nothing beats this mother fucker it is so good gunships gone decorators (all variants) gone chargers gone screchers gone hulks gone (rarly) tanks gone literally everything except bike titans hulks and factory striders fucking die
0:20 wtf this gun can shoot tank turret to do damage? i know it's explosive damage but it have enough radius to affect weak point???
2:00 yea on bug side even though it's still good againt elite but there are so many small thing running around. and if sh// hit the fan you have a high chance to kill yourself.
3:20 but it still better than most primary gun. especially the point that it can explode bile titan sack.
if it don't have a sack it turn from S rank bug to B at most because it can't use bile attack if their sack explode. and their melee attack help us instead.
5:10 dev team should make hold V into using stim when full hp.
Man... I've had this gun ready to unlock for a long time, I just thought it might suck like most of the other guns I've unlocked, so I never got it. Now I find out that most people consider it the best.
I'm livid the jar 5 dominator dosent put this thing to shame, not only did we pay for it with the premium pass but its a lireral Boltor from warhammer shooting explosive micro rockets.
Paying to win openly is not the way of democracy, duplicity however...
Good. That just means the devs did something anti-P2W. Giving the best items in the paid warbonds would be terrible.
Put the best guns in the free warbonds and give those who want to support the devs that extra little bit some cool bling, but not OP items.
I'm saying this as someone who has the premium btw. Not once did I think my money should give me the best items in the game. That's a terrible mindset to have.
ahhh yes. thank you for your contribution to super earth's economy even thou you can easily get that 1k credits from free medal warbond and in missions.
One good thing I would say about the Dominator had over Scorcher, you won’t kill yourself with it if the enemies get too close to you. Light armor you die in one shot of the scorcher explosion in close proximity.
@brandoncrabtree6632 pay to have different options to use in combat is what I'm getting at, however if majority of weapons weren't completely useless it wouldn't be so bad.
But grinding for hours just to unlock something then realize it was a waste of time cause it sucks is SUPER disheartening.
I love this gun for bots. Prior to this I never used anything but the Punisher on bots. That gun is way under rated and highly effective. The Plas Scorcher comes with the downside of no close up shooting, but its more or less a Punisher with explosive rounds. All hail the "shotgun that works like a sniper rifle". I actually do use the sights on this gun for long shots and its quite effective at taking out bot sentries etc. When the bots get to close I have been fending them off with melee attacks and then making space. If anyone has pointers I am keen to hear them.
You lost me at 6 mags and 15 rounds. I use energy weapons because of this. Or the explosive default weapon with 10 mags.
its worst gun for clearing swarm, but its the best for everything else.
ps, one weakness is that it can actually kill the user if you shot at an enemies that is right next to you...explosion damage
Why you lying that thing is garbage!
I think a TLDR is shit against bugs since when they are too close on you, you pretty much screwed. But seems goated against bots I want to try it out
I tried it once when i first unlocked it ran out of ammo so i shelved it for a while until yesterday i tried it against the bots and now its my new favorite primary. It's really a precision rifle so with bugs i run laser pack and get distance from any swarm then pop shots at the big bugs
Its 200 damage now
Game came out of nowhere and became so popular.
the Gospel of Super Earth was first preached in *2015*
scorcher does work on chargers, you aim for the front leglike you would with the flame thrower... it works pretty well
It dont work on helldive because of low ammo... breaker is best weapon in game
This gun makes most clankers a joke if you can be efficient with your shots.
The Plas-1 Scorcher is a workhorse. It's by my side every day.
Even 2x was slow.. jeez
2:50 WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
EQUIP THIS NOW LOl, after 200 hours maybe
its not an AT AT !! its more closer to an AT RT from the ones that the clones use in the clone wars
First time on this page why tf is your name Dr.Pooplove 😂😂
Very underwhelming on difficulties around 7 upwards
somehow this gun makes the game feel more calm, i dont know why
You can kill a charger with like 1 clip(?) maybe a little more, to the booty. It's pretty decent in the primary slot against them if you wanna run a non railgun support weapon like arc thrower, or just low on ammo from railgunning a mass of them.
I was struggling against their booty lol but will need to test that more vs chargers
Its not clip its magazine get it right. That thing might actually be a battery instead tho
Pooplove said all of PlayStations Live Service games would fail. Now he's making Helldivers 2 content.
No I didn’t
@@DrPooplove Yes you did. You thought their Live Service strategy was a failure.
@@bigbox1431 First of all I made Helldivers content back in September and have been hype for this game for a while. Secondly I didn't say all would fail, I thought the strategy was bad which it was (see point 3). Thirdly, they cancelled 4 games that we know about and underestimated this one so it still wasn't great but of course it can be corrected. Fourth, fifth and sixth any cancellation of Factions 2 is a failure in my eyes.
@@DrPooplove If it was a bad strategy, why would Hiroki Titoki say "our mid to long term plans surrounding Live Service remain unchanged"?
Sounds like PlayStation and Arrowhead Studios still think it's a good strategy.
You should reassess your take here.
@@DrPooplove It's always interesting to see single player game cancellations and how people don't claim SP games is a failed strategy. We must see the hypocrisy.
It´s a suppressed weapon so you can attack whit less risk of bugs / robots spot you.
AT-ST you mean
Too Expensive.
My jaw was dropped throughout this video..
Idk, maybe Im doing smth wrong but this gun feels like shit when Im taking it to automatons, I can oneshot little bots but it completely sucks ass against devastators, sometimes even cant kill the with full mag while with sluggers it usually takes one headshot
Weird, it is usually 1-2 shots on all devastators variants, even hulks can be taken down with this weapon as long as you hit the backside.
2:07 erm actually they are more similar to AT-ST's
I use it to reset my personal shield when it’s low it’s just nice to have
Literally just unlocked this🤟
riskrunner my beloved
if you ban someone, is that using the poopchute?
didnt know you could take out shredder tanks with it
Have you looked at the Guns from Classic 2D helldivers for reference? The only good op guns left are Trident and the Justice, and maybe Paragon
I haven't played enough of the original, but it may be worth digging into to see what might be coming
started playing 4 days ago and got it wasnt that bad
taking out the biletitan sack from over 500 meter en more this is a amazing weapon 😂
My designated Scout Strider remover.
You should try it against Chargers again. If you aim at the legs it will deal damage and even strip armour if you land the shots just right.
I will!
So the scorcher is for bots , and the jar dom is for bugs in fine ?
For me is the breaker incendiary, sickle and now i got some nice time with the Eruptor against bugs, the incendiary is nice because when a huge horde comes in your direction you can just spray and pray and delete the horde in front of you, the Eruptor splash damage can net me up to 40-50 kills when breaches are involved, you can easily kill yourself with it though so caution is advised.
@@Tamachii12 doesnt really help me here friend
“The scorcher sucks because I accidentally get killed by it all the time”
Massive skill issue
Who are you quoting?
Really needs 25 rounds instead of 15.
I yeah like we haven't been try to get it for ever
Is this gun good or did it get nerfed?
Still good, don't habe been nerf
I don’t even really like it tbh.
Magazine. God dammit magazine. A clip is entirely different and the only clip fed gun in the game (surprising there even is one) is the autocannon. Poopertrooper
Ig a lot of games get this wrong huh? “Clip size increase” < “EXTENDED magazine”?
@@aurumone_exe oh yah a lot of people get it wrong. Just shows a lack of education is all. I'm just out here spreading knowledge.
It needs more ammo to be viable
Basically a Star Wars Blaster.
Oh sure, lemme just climb into my medal cannon where I'll fly off to medal land where medals grow on medallies
