Helldivers 2 - how to master toxic gas with the orbital gas strike

Рет қаралды 81,800

Күн бұрын

The toxic damage of the Orbital Gas Strike in Helldivers 2 has always made it a fun stratagem to use. Being able to utilize corrosive gas to dispatch enemies definitely makes for a unique mission experience and I wanted to make this video to show all the stuff I learned about it as well as see what you all think!
I'm excited to hear about your thoughts and experiences about the Orbital Gas Strike so let me know in the comments!

CORRECTION: On 15:57 I mentioned how Helldivers exposed to gas strikes would cough every now and then after being affected. After additional testing, I found out that the reason the Helldiver coughed was because of an environmental event such as the blizzard or sandstorm. Most of my testing was done on planets prone to blizzards/sandstorms as the other planets/ops at the time had the 'Atmospheric Interference' modifier which prevented consistent gas strike testing so I really didn't consider the hazard to play much of a role, let alone be the cause of the coughing. Apologies and thanks for watching!

I wish the gas would spread and “settle” over a much longer period of time (like gas attacks in WW1), dealing DoT over a larger area. And that the gas filter helmet gave you a 95% resist to gas damage. That way we could have some more engaging strategic gameplay instead of the gas being used to wipe out a single crowd of enemies the same way the napalm strike does.

@@deathcall12345 it depends what material the gas is reacting with. Chlorine gas corrodes metal and binds with water in the lungs to form HCl (hydrochloric acid) but there are masks that can still protect against it. It won’t dissolve some types of plastic for instance. And there are masks that can filter it out.

Especially on those already hard to see maps (like those that have fog), it's incredibly hard to see the exact range of it. And it's not like a barrage where the laser stays for the entire duration so your teammates could see it after it's activated. They need to remember what it was and see where it landed, otherwise it's bound to do a lot of friendly fire.

The gas strike is very good against bot for three reason reason : Low CD, work well on bot drop, so all good. Bot don't always gather together, but when they do it's extremely hard to clear the grapes of devastator and bot, making the gas strike a great saving tool, and finally : the gaz strike is great at killing slow moving target that'll stay in for the full duration, meaning that is shred all type of devastator, mall bots, and strider, which are the priority target against bot. Sure the berzerker Hulk and tank will walk out of it, but those are meant to be killed last anyways

Specifically looking at bugs, to me the problem with the gas is that the smaller to medium enemies are never the problem. Even en masse primaries are more than capable of taking care of them. Where things get problematic is when you are facing multiple bile titans or half a dozen+ chargers. And here the gas strike just does nothing for you.

With the chargers specifically, I've kinda noticed they tend to have something like a 'mortal wounds' threshold, where once they take that much damage, they'll just finish bleeding out on their own in a matter of time, so that might have been what happened with the gas strikes killing them after they ended. Maybe it just doesn't trigger the abdomen burst since the damage that gets that part over the line doesn't really have an associated projectile/explosion when it crosses that line.

I've recently picked up the gas strike and have personally seen it most effective on 2 situations. The first is one the missile silo defense mission, to filter out all the smaller bugs and focus of the heavy ones. The second is on any regular mission. The moment I see a bug breach reinforcement I combine it with an ems strike to almost completely negate it. That strategy has prevented me from getting easily overrun many times. Hope this tip helps other helldivers too.

Great Video! Love the Gas Strike. People call it inferior to the other Air Strikes but the low cooldown of Gas Strike is its actual greatest advantage. You mentioned it already but for anyone else reading: for some reason, the Gas Bomb/Projectile has the same penetration stat like the 500kg bomb, that means, the Gas Strike projectile is able to destroy buildings like Rogue Research Facility, Detector Towers (Eye of Sauron), Stratagem Jammer and Shrieker Nests. I feel like this...may be an oversight of the devs, but I hope it stays cause that adds additional utility to Gas Strike and it's low cooldown.

lately i have been trying out some of lower cooldown orbitals in my flex slot and trying to make an effort to call them in as often as possible to see if they're actually effective in the higher difficulties. i actually like the gatling barrage decently well but this definitely sold me on trying out the gas!

@Wallbouncing Ай бұрын

I also enjoy using the gatling barrage and glad you're interested in checking out the gas strike. Hope you have a great time with it! Thanks for checking out the video!

@@Wallbouncing had a great time the past two nights running it and it's now one of my favorite stratagems but it also crashed my game 3 times :( i pray this gets fixed soon

If you get a drop ship just right you can pretty much kill the entire drop with one gas strike as the ship lowers into the gas cloud before dropping troops

@thedoctor323 Ай бұрын

I have incidentally noticed that sometimes gas will be blown by high winds, but I can't tell by how much. I also suspect that gas strikes corrode armor , allowing you to penetrate armor more effectively. lastly, I have also noticed that gas strikes tend to reduce the ability of both bugs and bots to call in reinforcements.

I have a lot of fun using the Gas Strike and I really hope we get more weapons that use this unique tool. Toxic sprayer support weapon maybe? Gas grenades? Eagle gas strike? possibilities are endless; Hopefully there's even an armor type resistant to gas.

Do you know if the gas DoT stacks with the fire DoT? I feel like it would be really good to bring with the incendiary shotgun if it does.

I need to get into this, I’m all about DOT builds for the terminids. The only reason I don’t use the napalm strike and gas more often is for my teammates. It’s easier not to kill them by accident when I use the flamethrower and incendiary grenade, less chance they may walk into the area before the attack is done. I might try running it more often and just warn my team I’m bringing DOT everything lol

@Wallbouncing Ай бұрын

When I was doing tests on the tesla tower I had to let my teammates know I was using it so they wouldn't run into it. The gas still claims the lives of a few unaware teammates every now and then haha. Thanks for checking out the video!

There’s few things I find more satisfying than dropping a gas strike and watching the gas take out like 8+ enemies in a sudden instance from the DoT, or dropping it right onto a bug breach and just watching the little combo counter tick up and up

Seeing the multi-kill skull icon go from yellow to red is a wonderful feeling when I use the gas strike so I know how you feel haha. Thanks for checking out the video!

Jetpack grenade combo got me thinking about Boba/Jango Fett . We need Mandalorian inspired armor

gas strike is so good, 20-40 kills every minute goes hard

@CommissarKai Ай бұрын

How does the gas interact with fire? If I were to pair it with a flamer, does the damage double up from the two effects?

@lordxerlus3842 Ай бұрын

I find it to be a stragem I always pick as long as orbital scatter is not a modifier… the gas strike crab close bug holes and bot factory’s with a direct hit. Clears the fodder mobs.

on solo helldive on terminids I hit a triple digit kill count with just the gas strike, love it and been using it constantly. Im a stun build with some crowd control and this is my main tool

@anthonycontreras5003 Ай бұрын

Nice testing we appreciate your work. I like it with bugs using the flamethrower and let my teammates handle the heavier bugs with the jump pack. 🍻

the gas strike is my favourite war crime. i love watching the kill count go up when u drop it on fresh bug holes lol

I'd love a G-482, "Fog of Democracy" gas grenade with a 2-3.5 second fuse. 482 is from the mustard gas formula..

12:40 you can actually throw the stratagem through the ventilation like a grenade, I do this a lot with whatever support stratagem that calls in a hellpod, it's a guaranteed destroy

I have gotten like a 30 kill with the gas strike, you can use it to destroy automaton fabricators too.

A stratagem that's able to deal with groups of enemies and objectives and is only on a 75s cooldown. What's not to love! Thanks for checking out the video!

Personally I prefer the heavy butcher medic armor, flame thrower and supply pack Gas and flamethrower away while walking into the horde/fire while stimming yourself, anything that can’t knock you down won’t kill you but you can also get around that if you play right You’ll probably annoy your fellow helldivers as your character will be screaming in pain half the time
