I just realised, if you have a mini nuke shell in your seaf artillery, theoreticaly you should be able to throw it at a jammer and it should destroy the jammer without having to go into the base or call a hellbomb since the mini nuke has the same stats as a hellbomb

[bodkin]

This is the only no bullshit breakdown of the patch on the tube right now. Thank you, only one that clearly explains the changes

[bobzthabarbarian]

HMG feels so much better now but, I'd still love a slightly bigger mag.
I'm satisfied with that reload tho.

[TimmyMicBobbins]

Rocket sentry actually amazing 100M range is huge

[PricefieldPunk]

Finally this patch seems great. Nearly half the strategems were useless on Helldive difficulty before

[jonservo]

I knew the tenderizer didn't feel like it matched it's description at all when it came out and lo and behold it has a ton of changes, looking forward to trying it out and the heavy machine gun

[IlBuonDiavolo]

These BUFFS are incredibly welcome!

Some Stratagems are still, of course, less effective than others as they are meant to be replaced, but every weapon/stratagem is getting to a point where they can be all used with upsides/downsides

[_dekr]

The Gatling Barrage and Strafing Run has at least level 5 penetration. They can take out fabricator (not 100% consistence). A well place strafing run can eat a hulk (all hits on the visor) or a tank alive. A Gatling Barrage + Strafing Run + Precision Strike will guarantee kill a factory strider, as you can throw them pretty much at the same time and they have very low cool down.

[Brawler]

*Me taking the spear for only bot factories to destroy them a mile away*
“ahh yes, well I guess I’ll just go fk myself”

[KillFrenzy]

The 110mm rocket pods are guaranteed to hit now. It's basically a weaker but spammable orbital rail cannon.

[gravitationalredshift]

excited to see more Behemoths around, saw a few of them before but will be nice to see more!

[Ween]

The fact that this video is straight to the point and not riddled with ads and plugs makes me love the video. No BS and no yapping. 🙏🏼

[AniStormSonic]

Man I'm so glad I got all my modules upgraded just before they removed the only mission you can easily farm samples on haha

[Malam_]

Orbital Precision Strike was my all time favourite. It's so good, now its OP.

[sirrealism]

Ballistic Shield got bugged this patch. You cannot get up from crouch or prone if you have it on you unless you stand perfectly still. If you switch to your support while you have it on your back, you cant even get up.

[SpoonRacing]

Spear is still broken, just in a different way now 😭

[SimoWill]

They shouldn't have removed the AA modifier entirely. I've been saying for months that they should have let us choose to load out a fourth stratagem, however, only make it available to use after destroying the AA emplacement.

[shotgun-enjoyer]

I will not tolerate ANY heavy machine gun slander that thing kicks ass against automatons

[purplepenguin]

I love these steps they buffed all the heavy weapons and then made it so if a heavy weapon shoots a hellbb. it kills you instantly. Thats the kind of nerf/buff i wants.

[sethfeldpausch]

I'm SO HAPPY with this massive update! Hopefully the balance will continue to get better and better, then when they finally release the Illuminate faction, and do a proper marketing push, a BUNCH of Helldivers will return to the fight. I know that a lot of recent decisions drove a lot of players away, but I hope now that they're fixing things, people will return and possibly with a marketing push, even MORE players will experience the game!
