still i think purifier should have 2 firing mods 1-semi mode 210 dmg without explosion 2- charge mode 260 with explosion with medium pen ofc

Lol! If you gonna test stuff at least test it properly like the armour perk for increased weapon mobility how about you try using a heavy machine gun you will notice the difference immediately as it works on heavier guns which would make sense if you used your brain 😂

They really need to put in an extra month between these war bonds. They haven't even figured out how to properly balance enemy spawns yet, fr. Smh

Is it just me, or gas strike, orbital gatling and precision strike, just got some insane dispersion. Instead of landing where I aim them, they friggin fall on the top of my head, or simply 100m away in nowhere.

I'm wondering who tests these warbond weapons B4 release because they suck

So with the throwing knives I tend to use those if I’m rocking the eruptor. I use those in those instances where I need to reload both weapons and I got a hunter near me. You can kill devastators one hit but it has to be their heads. So if they close I can usually hit it. But targeting can be difficult sometimes I be either direct with them or completely missing with them.

jesus christ half the video was "omg its gonna be a big patch." OK TELL US WHATS IN IT

Love the videos, you earned a new sub and love the breakdowns and the hard work you put into them. I’m hoping to make a channel myself and similar type videos in the future once I practice being more intentional rather than on the fly just playing. I do like the change for the eruptor that makes it a bit more viable, but i still miss the shrapnel it had, and i wont be happy until it gets that back really. Now bile titans (who are inherently buffed now not nerfed, are harder to deal with and i feel it with now having that shrapnel that i would bounce between the head armor and kill them with ease but that ended a month ago…..) And seriously the bile titans need a movement slow or their puke needs another rework because the spread increase was awful, i already had a tough time and always got irritated when i would be nowhere close to the spray and be slowed, and now the slow is a second longer at 30% rather than 50% but it feels the same as 50, and i notice its longer and that seriously sucks. I feel like the dev that made that decision or proposed it plays more bots than bugs.

Maybe have the knives boost the damage of the arc thrower?

It seems like we're lacking good options for medium armor piercing assault rifles right now, and I hope they fix that. The Adjudicator has good damage and medium piercing, but the recoil combined with the inaccurate scope makes it unusable for me. Then there's the Liberator Pen, which has good accuracy and medium piercing, but pathetically low damage.

maybe playtest AR against bugs above level 4, they are useless and nobody uses them.

Pummeled is still good but as a one handed weapon. One handed weapons are rly good with the ballistic shield they aren’t supposed to be good alone so even as a shield player I’m fine with this nerf

I swear to God the Helldivers community is incapable of understanding how primaries are balanced in this game. Your loadout has to be balanced. Not a single element of it will be capable of dealing with more than a handful of different enemy types. Complaining that a weapon cant deal with certain enemies is dumb, bring something else for those enemies

dont know if u knew or not, but the throwing knives 3-4 shot chargers in the leg, even behemoth chargers die in that many uses. so yeah the knives are def and edge case use vs bugs as a anti charger weapon.

So they again nerf my favourite primary weapon against bugs... Man, I'm starting to think those devs are having some personal vendetta with me. What have I done to you?!

The aiming reticle on guns has a dot and a circle. The circle is where you are aiming, and the dot is where your barrel is pointed. The handling buff makes the dot and the circle stay closer together, so your barrel lines up with the circle quicker, meaning you snap to targets a bit cleaner, wasting less ammo.

You guys talking about wanting melee is so stupid. Your going against metal plating and exoskeleton and think that a sword or something is going to be effective when it caters to their advantage

After experiencing three days of the massive amount of heavy spawns in addition to the massive amount of small spawns I can with 100% certainty say that the heavy spawns have not been reduced.

Facial animations are the least of my concerns. You primadonnas whose main concern is graphics is why we get these half baked games. GAMEPLAY>>>>>>GRAPHICS

This wa great. Glad I subbed.

Wait, what about the jar5 Dominator?

Just wanted to pop in here and say I appreciate your content. Thanks for all the hours you put in and the honest, educated feedback you provide

It seems increasingly like if you are new, your first premium warbond should be Democratic Detonation.

I didn’t even think about it until now but damn I can’t wait till they let us fight on the planet type that’s in the trailer, it’ll be good to get some new terrain types to freshen the game up

Strategem current patch when?

I can't get to like the eruptor and I really wanted to, it's way too slow to reload and it's cadency is low too. I feel like you get rushed in difficulty 7+ and you can't really use it

why are the knifes thrown like someone who doesn't know how to throw a football? that shit is all over the place when thrown

Pummeler desperately needs med armor pen, literally only reason why it should exist/existed, then they silently patched it like 2 days after, gave it stun, then nerfs the stun, why the fuck would I ever use it if the other smg I got weeks prior has more damage and fire rate yet still fuckin sucks, its just fuckin depressing let me shield n shoot and actually enjoy it.

The concussive weapons just need to raise the damage to balance out how slow they fire and the concussive effect. I think the damage needs to be raised still..

I dont get why even decreased the mag size or mag count at all?

Everyone crying over the pummeler definitely has me confused. I use it still and it feels just as good as it did before, great at keeping smaller enemies off of me and keeping medium sized enemies in check while dealing consistent damage. I dont use it as much anymore cause I've been itching for crossbow to be fixed since it got gutted but it still plays fine to me.

Tenderizer actually only has 7 magazines (as you can see in your game footage), despite the patch notes. Also, it does not get them all back on an ammo pickup.

Yeah when people start buying warbonds… then theyll nerf it again

People still play Helldivers? Crazy.

Knife should only disable hands.

Damn people still playing this game?

Tenderizer is complete crap. You have to reload after almost every kill. If it had a 50-round MAG it would be top-tier

Odd how no one has mentioned the Scorcher nerf. When the purifier dropped it was a copy paste of the Scorcher's stats with the added "chargeable". Then I hear the Purifier got a buff but it's stats stayed the same except for the Med Pen where as Scorcher went from 250 to 200 dmg.

thank you for this man, saving people's time like a boss

Arc blitzer >> tenderiser

In a war game such as Helldivers 2, an update that buffs weapons seems appropriate because as the war goes on new techologies are developed by Super Earth and existing weapons are tweaked and modified for more efficient performance because the goal is to win said war. Good update I say.

I just feel this is always the case with the new stuff. Niche design, with awful execution. Come on man.. we want to have fun with the new stuff, not wonder why we would ever use it. If we can't visually feel an impact of a passive (armor in this case, but it's usually the boosters).. THAT IS A FAIL. If they made the knife a melee weapon instead of a grenade slot, it probably would have gotten some hype instead of question marks.

Played with BR-14 last night on temirds lvl 9, I was having so much fun with it, I’ve been using the sickle since its release for everything, now I second guess my shots or want to aim better which makes the game a lot more adrenaline fuel for me

I'm okay with this warbond, they played it safe and they did really good with the shotgun and stuff, but they left room to buff stuff up in the future, it leaves me excited for future buffs

Yeah I thought the whole new style of this warbond is kinda trash, as if there isn’t enough jungle army style color ways in the gaming community. Really didn’t like the boring ass normal ass camo armors that I 100% will never use, one because of the melee I never ever melee, and two because I don’t think weapon movement is in need of any help for most guns I use. Overall it would’ve been way cool to see something more futuristic with the times type of warbond, not some normal boring ass camo shit that we’ve all seen a million times.

how the fuck does a throwing knife not one shot medium enemies? i can understand not having a throwing knife one shot everything.....but its a fucking knife, if ur gonna take that over a grenade u better have some perks. like picking up the knives back and killing things in one shot if u hit the weak spot. such wasted potential. the devs dont know how to have fun in a pve game. can u imagine if u have a one shot knife that can one shot heavies and below if u hit it in the weak spot and be able to pick it back up? pair it with the armor with extra "grenades" and maybe the jump pack... that sounds like soo much fun, but the devs come up with half baked weapons/armors/strategems and seemingly doesn't play test the stuff they add at all. they let the community QA their updates and go ohh this is what we need to fix....

I’m convinced they don’t do play testing with the amount of bugs that don’t make sense and constantly reverting values for guns for no reason

Are u going to do another video ranking all the weapons after the update?

Before I even watch this, I wanna point out: when doing these kinds of lists, you should show us what the thing you're talking about looks like on the selection screen. I garuntee 85% of your viewers could name maybe 3 guns. We don't know what they're called. Help us out a little. Anytime you make one of these videos I have to load up the game and find what you're talking about cause I have no clue what gun/strat you're ever talking about lol

Eruptor as support weapon, stalwart as primary with supply backback
