Grab the artillery shell, drop the shell, and as you're grabbing it again, switch weapons. Should fling the shell. Chargers, run towards and juke them. After they pass, stick an EA-Ts beacon on them. If you fail to stick it, don't fret, because you'll have EA-Ts in a few seconds, which you can shoot at the charger. And somebody please petition Arrowhead to give the bile/nursing spewers a sound when they're walking around, because nothing that big should ever be able to sneak up on me.
There's something really satisfying about the dual narrative of "I made some mistakes; we can use them to improve" with "the devs made some mistakes; we can use them to improve". Thanks for another excellent, insightful video.
"Uh-, go look over there and blow up their house." is a legendary statement against stalkers lmao. Seriously you do great work for us 👍 Edit: I have never seen jebbles so annoyed, frustrated/aggravated at this game before. The actual hate to spewers is more than felt here, hate spewers.
It's always really refreshing to find someone who sees challenge as opportunities. As someone who didnt have a great relationship with failure growing up, it took me a long time to get to a mindset of welcoming it and seeing it as a way of self improvement.
IMOP I think the gas strike is way more useful then people give it credit for. Very low cool down kills all the small annoying bugs super fast yes even hunters and warriors and last about as long as a bug breach I have taken it on Helldive more then a few times and I really like it.
With the modifier that scatters orbitals it makes the gas strike dangerous for you and your teammates. Sometimes it's hard to see the gas so if it isn't where it's supposed to be then it's just an unnecessary hazard that isn't killing bugs anymore. I hate that modifier more than the one that removes a strategem because (unless you were able to see the modifier before joining) you won't know it scatters until you fall victim to your own orbitals after landing.
Gas is awesome except as people listed above. When orbital accuracy is put off, I might take rail cannon, or maybe a barrage for area destruction, but rocket pods, airstrike, 500, and napalm work. Main thing is I play on difficulty that's fun
I'm just going to say it, the railgun is a rather mid choice against bugs and is a poor choice when you dont build around it. Flame thrower, arc thower or my personal favorite, the grenade launcher will deal with all those enemies except titans very quickly compared to the rail gun. Build around something like those weapons and you'll have a better time. Another tip I picked up from stealth bros is that the jump pack can actually be used to confuse the bugs. Turns out that divers leave an invisible scent trail on the ground that bugs can follow. Jump pack launching you into the air will break that trail and the bugs will lose you. Line of sight is still a thing so make sure you break it when running away. Last thing, never activate a console on an arty objective until all shells are ready to be loaded. Once that console is on, patrols will start spawning and will make your day a lot worse
The rail will one shot anything below a charger and it's two in the shin or three in the head. I don't use the flamer because it takes too long with spewers, but I see others getting some use from it. I don't recommend arc weapons most of the time because they feel like they teach people not to aim or position well.
Oh ja it will one shot most things but it's just one shot and its a bit too slow solo. Bugs need something with AoE. I can kill more things with a GL after a rail gun reloads from its single shot. While a charger may take 5 grenades, it can launch nades very quickly
Your spewer frustration is more than felt here! I want to point out another benefit of EAT: it can oneshot chargers if you hit them in the mouth. However, my favorite support weapon for bugs is definitely the grenade launcher. Clears bug holes like nobody’s business, and not bad against chaff. Then again, I’m not running into titans and shriekers right now because I’m introducing someone to the game and we’re currently on Challenging
@@JebblesJunior That makes sense. I haven't had luck with the railgun personally, but from your footage it looks like I'm aiming for the wrong spots. Flamer is also a solid choice. I hadn't considered keeping the EAT banked but I'll give it a try now that I've seen your approach.
Bile spewers need a decently loud movement sound for when they're moving, I swear they're the stealthiest bug despite their size. The spew also needs to be a reasonable DOT, not instant death.
I personally find bugs to be easier solo due to being able to kite them without the constant bullets. Given, the previous comment gets thrown out the window in the bile spewer mission.
Stealth is an option with bugs too... I've done some stealth with bugs. I absolutely hate the bugs though and you're better bringing a team with lots of ordinance.
Stealth is perfectly easy for bugs. I even stealth the hives. Literally just throw a turret to draw them out, and clean up. They see you? Just run away while hitting smoke pods.
My personal loadout picks. Keep in mind I play aggressively. The more chaos there is the better. Primary: incendiary shotgun for mob clear and flying shriekers or plasma shotgun mob clear and stagger. Secondary: grenade pistol for bug holes and back up for bile spewers because they must die ASAP. Grenade: stun grenade coupled with flamethrower and air strikes SupportWeapon: flamethrower for everything except bile titans and shriekers, EATS or quasar mainly for long range shrieker nests and bile titans. Stratagems: Eagle air strike for general purpose, orbital precision or 500kg for bile titans, sometimes orbital laser or orbital rail cannon because I think they’re cool looking, orbital air burst if I’m chilling out in D6 or lower.
Story time. Ok so earlier i joined a level 7 mission I'm used to playing diff 7 so no big deal right, well I drop in and not 5 seconds later all my squad mates disconnect i drop a sos, but nobody shows up to help. I accept that I'm on my own and go on to complete the mission. Keep in mind that until this point i had never soloed any difficult above diff 1, so this was a trail by fire for me. I got the mission done and extracted and ended up having a lot of fun sneaking around the map dodging patrols. The only advice i can give is slow and steady diffenitly wins the race when your a solo.
I can't imagine doing solo without artificial "teammates" - aka Guard Rover + sentry Also the Spewey boys are the reason I started running HMG Emplacement. If you can get a good position, it pops 'em like zits...and it kills shrieker nests. Kind of an "EAT" but for heavy gunning. That all said, my solo loadout for bugs: HMG Emplacement, Guard Dog Rover, Gatling/Autocannon Sentry, EAT/Quasar. And of course...my beloved Blitzer
Not going to lie, the ammo pack feels mandatory because there just isn't enough bullets for the amount of bugs you're going to be face. When the patrol bug gets fixed things just won't ever be the same anymore. edit: I packed a quasar cannon for the chargers but seeing that unsafe railgun shot to the charger shin expanded my mind. I'll have to practice on that and one shoting spewers with it.
Do you have any tips on how to use E.A.Ts? When I use them I seem to always never call them in/forget I have them 😅, call them in at a bad time, and call them in and lost track of them or my original support weapon. Got any ideas on a good way to practice with them or something?
I like to think or EATs as calling down emplacements. They’re great when used proactively rather than reactively. Starting to do an objective? Throw it down as you run in. If you find a sleeping charger in there run back to the EATs that are ready to go. Throw them down again in the objective if it takes a while. It’s way better to have to run a little ways back instead of trying to call them down and wait on the call down. It’s also not bad just throwing them anywhere making a bread crumb trail as you move around the map. If things go bad, you can retrace your steps if a bunch of chargers or titans suddenly becomes a problem. I gauge success by how illegible the minimap becomes by the time you extract. There should be little rocket icons all over the place by the time the game ends 😂
Your best bet is honestly bring them into games all the time. You'll recognize they're there, you'll get used to the cooldown, and you'll get better at firing them. Also call them in when you locate the threat but not next to the threat. That way the time for them dropping down is accounted for and try to play around them until you're done with them.
My best advice for solo bug missions is to bring a jump pack, it allows you to outmaneuver bugs and even outrun them. eagle cluster bombs or orbital airburst should not be slept upon as they can clear a whole bug breach
I have to admit, I was about to throw in the towel after finally being able to run Helldive in squads and suddenly unable to run lvl4 solo. Your videos always make me relax and go back to having fun. The idea of using this as practice for when it is fixed is encouraging as hell!
Dude, don't distract the man from HD2 content. 😂 I like the fireside chats the most, but I'll take HD2 gameplay as a close second. The pirate game is cool, but honestly I probably won't engage with a video about it.
@@JebblesJunior I’m sure you get asked all the time but I’d be happy to send a donation for a round of HD2 with Jebbles and crew 👍. Love your content Jebbles!
Would you rather take auto cannon or EAT for bug missions? I feel like auto cannon is more of a jack-of-all trades (in my opinion) as it is more versatile, it can take out chargers and stalkers and bile titans and spewers, (spore spewers too) but the reload time and backpack slot really limit the usage. However the EAT is a two shot, one hit charger and two hit titan, but it can re-deploy in a minute. The auto cannon also is able to close bug holes pretty well, so you could potentially free up a grenade slot for a stun grenade instead. I dont really know which one to take (I go back and forth a lot), so I wonder what you think?
I use EATs along with a support weapon like a railgun and supply pack. The autocannon is ok, but it's too immobile for me. I need to be constantly moving to find success.
I like bringing AC against bugs because its good against bile spewers. But it requires strong trigger discipline as it has low ammo and stationary reload. Not sure if I really recommend it for solo. Works great on a team though. Its a good medium killer but can be somewhat lacking against swarms and heavy enemies. Sure, you can kill one charger if you dance with it, and shoot it in the rear a bunch, but miss a couple rounds and you have to sit down to reload. Not great if there is a 2nd or 3rd charger. The EAT is always in my kit for bugs. It can kill heavies effectively, and I can just toss it down near teammates when defending a position so they can use them if needed. The quick cooldown also means you can have a support weapon if you get separated from your main support weapon. I have definitely taken both before as I tend to take 1 ordinance for lights and 1 for heavies and can take 2 support weapons if I forgo any turrets. Does the AC take out bile titans now?
Hey man, thanks so much for your content. Really enjoy everything about it. Sadly, I just uninstalled the game (LVL100 w/ 300+ hours) as the game became a burden and I cannot see any hope for things to get better. AH clearly dont know what they are doing. I am done for now. Maybe I'll have a look after the summer if AH didnt manage to 500kg themselves (which wouldnt be to my surprise). Will follow your content for sure! Keep up the good work.
300 hours? Do you not just think you burnt out? 300 hours on _anything_ would lead me to walk away, if only for my sanity. I don't think you can assign blame at Arrowhead for you uninstalling the game.
@@dylanhal Well, its not about the hours I spent and that I burned out. It is about the direction AH chose w/ their balancing nonsense, patrol mistakes etc. Basically they focus on the complete wrong stuff. They should fix the gamebreaking bugs and make the game more FUN. And AH really managed to kick out the fun of the game with their stupid nerfing balancing mentality. It amazes me. So... I am done with this game as the anger grew over weeks and yesterday I made the decision to not hope for sudden improvements. CEO seems nice, but let's see...
As I said on your previous patrol changes vid, the patrols are crazy right now, even on low level missions, especially the seaf artillary as you said. Fish hook to the eye sounds pleasant by comparison. I'd rather coat my nuts in meat sauce, dangle them in a sleeping lion's mouth and flick its love spuds with a wet towel than reapeat that unending patrol mess. The thing is, the patch notes suggested they still wanted to increase the patrols for solo players, even if it's bugged and overturned right now, which is worrying. I don't mind a challenge, but I want the patrols to make sense. Reduce them a bit as you take out more spawns (incentive) and have them actually patrol, not spawn right near you / heat seek to you.
There is another issue with reinforcements that may be a bug, or it may be poor design decisions. Taking out a nest/factory should decrease the amount of reinforcements/patrols/whatever you want to call them in a mission. Even a load screen tooltip states this, or at least implies it (I didn't memorize the exact wording). Instead, it increases the number of enemies arriving to kill us?
Yes, it does increase the enemy patrols. That is an in-game mechanic that I have trouble understanding why. If we break the things creating them, we should be rewarded with less. Especially with the risk most people incur by doing it.
To be fair it was hard because I kept making dumb mistakes. I like to only go up to 6 with the "beginner" ones because I'd consider that about the highest you could go and still be a beginner.
@@JebblesJunior yea, but lets be real. these are mistakes alot of people will make for the same reasons you did. stupid stuff (fecking bile spewers) happens and it gets to people. also something you may like. the amr aslo 1 shots bile spewers to the head and fires as fast as you can click, in 3rd person its still perfectly accurate 7 shots to the back pops it too so your not totaly helpless vs heavy. the damage and fire rate lets it have the highest dps in the game. (2625) around 1000 faster then the braker
Can anyone answer this question. When picking a drop point at the start of a mission, whats the point in dropping in so close to the enemy that you might as well have just dropped right in the middle of a bug nest. Those red spots on the drop map are enemy positions hence the message when you put to cursor over them it says enemy presence.
for solo it’s basically never a good idea, you’re almost certainly gonna be overrun immediately and have to retreat anyway. it can be a small time saver for blitz missions with a full squad if you have primaries that can clear an outpost quickly. But it’s always a gamble
@@JebblesJunior wasn't talking about the video you explained what happened and it's happened to me a few times were I dropped where I thought was clear and there was a poi or a random patrol lol. Just a question I had lol
@@coleostimie9725 To answer your question, sometimes with a full squad that has it all together you can dominate the area fast enough for the bug breach not to matter.
@@InvaderTroy it seems like when I play with randoms this is always the case. They almost always drop so close to enemies that they might as well had dropped right in the middle of the red spot on the map causing us to be on the back foot for an extended period of time. I honestly don't understand half the stupid things people do in this game like also throwing reinforcement into enemy hoards, nests and bases or being too busy to even bother to reinforce you

Should fling the shell.
Chargers, run towards and juke them.
After they pass, stick an EA-Ts beacon on them.

@@JebblesJunior yea, but lets be real. these are mistakes alot of people will make for the same reasons you did. stupid stuff (fecking bile spewers) happens and it gets to people. also something you may like. the amr aslo 1 shots bile spewers to the head and fires as fast as you can click, in 3rd person its still perfectly accurate 7 shots to the back pops it too so your not totaly helpless vs heavy. the damage and fire rate lets it have the highest dps in the game. (2625) around 1000 faster then the braker
So the spawn actually are bugged?? That explains so much.
7:15 man i hate when impact nades don't do anything cause you were facing the bug hole just slightly to the side
shit is annoying when that happens
I was white knuckling them at that point.
Saying Eagle 1 is not accurate is treason. She's our savior.
She has worse aim than a drunk man pissing on trash cans in an alleyway.
@@JebblesJunior thats not what hulks say
why do you sound like such a chad
Can anyone answer this question. When picking a drop point at the start of a mission, whats the point in dropping in so close to the enemy that you might as well have just dropped right in the middle of a bug nest. Those red spots on the drop map are enemy positions hence the message when you put to cursor over them it says enemy presence.
for solo it’s basically never a good idea, you’re almost certainly gonna be overrun immediately and have to retreat anyway. it can be a small time saver for blitz missions with a full squad if you have primaries that can clear an outpost quickly. But it’s always a gamble
It doesn't factor in POI so the safest option is extract because at least you know that's what exists there.
@@JebblesJunior wasn't talking about the video you explained what happened and it's happened to me a few times were I dropped where I thought was clear and there was a poi or a random patrol lol. Just a question I had lol
@@coleostimie9725 To answer your question, sometimes with a full squad that has it all together you can dominate the area fast enough for the bug breach not to matter.
@@InvaderTroy it seems like when I play with randoms this is always the case. They almost always drop so close to enemies that they might as well had dropped right in the middle of the red spot on the map causing us to be on the back foot for an extended period of time. I honestly don't understand half the stupid things people do in this game like also throwing reinforcement into enemy hoards, nests and bases or being too busy to even bother to reinforce you
a fishhook really got your eye?
Just the eyelid. Hell of a day.
@@JebblesJunior holy helldive your badass
Bile spewers and hunters are a bad enemy design the way the are atm
BuT BuGS aRe EASy lmao
They both have their negatives. I died an unusual amount to diving on a misshapen rock and then ragdolling never to stand back up.
Honestly I really wish the spawns just stayed like this
I got major Jensen Ackles energy from the intro, I love your work and share your frustration.
