Helldivers 2 // With Autocannon, You Can - Lvl 9 Terminid Solo Helldive - All Clear, No Deaths

Solo Helldive, Max Difficulty Lvl 9, all objectives (Main + Optional) completed, all nests destroyed, 0 deaths.
Modifiers: lowered stamina, obscured radar, orbital scatter increased

Boy oh boy that evacuation objective was a mission in itself...

I hesitate to call this one a stealth run, even if there was some creeping around. Stealth for bugs is more about: kill everything before it can sound an alarm, with judicious use of air strikes and then moving in to mop up. There's a lot more enemy types that can sound the alarm - Scouts, Hunters, Hive Guards and Brood Commanders can all set off bug breaches, which can make it tough to keep things clean. If an alarm goes off though, the same principles of breaking Line Of Sight and bouncing between objectives works well - even in a desert you can find cover in sand dunes and rocky outcrops.

Atmospheric Spores probably wasn't the best pick for stealthing either, as it means you can no longer rely on the radar for spotting patrols or outposts - was able to find everything though!

That one civilian was a traitor btw, he told me he has a pet beetle.

Build:

The Autocannon is an amazing all-purpose weapon. Its large mag, good damage and firerate means it's better at clearing groups quickly than the ol' Railgun, and it's also able to take out bug holes with one shot - all crucial for Solo All Clear runs. Its explosive damage means that along with the grenade launcher, it's the fastest at taking out groups of Bile Spewers, as they get huge bonuses to ass shots - exploding them does splash damage to the other Bile Spewers nearby, making chain kills very common.

Charger kills aren't quite as convenient, as you'll have to matador them then shoot them in the back leg or ass, but still pretty quick - with perfect aim a few shots will suffice. Bile Titans will be down to Stratagems, hence the 500kg and the Railcannon - if those don't finish them off, a volley from the Autocannon will. The odd unexploded Hellbomb lying around will do the job too...

Eagle Airstrike rounds out the stratagems, as one of the best all-purpose strikes. Big horde? Consider them squished. Heavy armour? No problem. The AoE pattern means it's also great for taking out multiple bug holes at once, making it the best for alpha striking nests.

For my primaries and secondaries, I'm going with the good old Breaker & Redeemer anti-bug combo - particularly in solo, you need something with the damage per shot and firerate to take out groups of scouts quickly, as well as put down a Brood Commander in a pinch, and the Breaker fits the bill. The Slugger would do well too, doing better against the armoured enemies but being a little slower at taking out a group of lighter enemies due to its firerate.

For grenades, I went with the Impact grenades - while they come with the risk of exploding in your face as a scout flies towards you, they are exceptional at quickly taking out armoured enemies and particularly Bile Spewers.

My booster was the Stamina one, to counter the penalty from the desert heat.

PS: yet another radar already in the correct position, and I think I know why - if you restart the mission by closing the game, it somehow remembers the last radar position. Saves me a little time, but if y'all feel like this is cheating and these runs ain't hard enough, I can just do fresh runs everytime!

[ritsehuiskes]

Can you give me some tips for using stealth and how alerting enemies works? Somehow i always end up with airdrops

[Neo.]

Dude’s gonna singlehandedly liberate a planet next

[kerbe]

Glory be to the conveniently located hell bombs.

[philliphart]

I would have turned to get that sample at the last second and died. That’s my talent.

[PonderingJosh]

THIS is inspiring, and hugely educational to how I should really be completing missions. I wanna be a Helldiver like you when I grow up!

[astroape]

Dude, those 500ks on Titans were so perfect. Warheads on foreheads - literally

[hook]

I'm physically exhausted just watching. That's the most exciting 45 minutes on any screen right now. Learned a lot too. Thank you! Awesome job!

[calosku]

possibly the single greatest helldiver

[DiegoJimenez-mxbk]

37:00 My man CLEARLY plays Super Earth football with those moves

[iamdopeasfcuk]

this is some of the best solo helldivers gameplay i've seen so far. good stuff man!

[SnoopVee]

I swear when i play this even at level 7 with other people we get swarmed. Watching you play seems so much more do-able. Great work!

[RAREARMRAVEN]

I’m a simple man, I see auto cannon, I like the video

[DaSaintDemon]

Great watching a fellow Helldiver use the autocannon so magnificently. This shows the Railgun+Shield combo is not meta, just skill issues

[comrademoshi]

a hero like this needs to be on the frontlines of the creek

edit: i just realised he already released one on malevelon creek, absolutely phenomenal work man

[RogerDiscovers]

Wow dude! Way to go! I learned so much by just watching you. The bile tank takedown with the hellbomb was epic.

[IamSylxr]

you’re nearing 2K subs dude!
YouTube algorithm coming through! 🔥

[RdyXpl]

You are definitely doing your part! Amazing gameplay man, subscribed!

[MalcolmJones-bossjones]

Yup you earned that follow that was insane, down to the last 5 seconds I watched the entire thing and learned something new thanks to you !!! LIBERATE BABY

[inexorablewarrior]

Brah...this was so well done, that i wanted to believe that the game was being lenient for you! LOL! That's how well you played this!

[AC-izeh]

Always a joy watching your gameplays, because you're not running the tired meta of railgun + shield backpack 😂
