Squashin bots is my favorite pastime, and through my tinkering I may have just created the new meta loadout against the bots. The Plasma Punisher, Gas Strike, Rocket Sentry, and Spear work beautifully together against the bots, giving you a solid answer to ANY situation. But more importantly, how we use these weapons to support our team is gonna encourage our random squadmates to WANT to work with us. Let me show you how.

Special thanks to my good friend @swiggsmcswoogs for helping me with the editing for this video. He’s recently started making some hilarious content in Helldivers and he is a talented video editor. If you want quality memes and good vibes, go check him out!

Lastly, the discord is still coming, but I figured I should delay it till the weekend so I could have time to play with y’all. Life has been getting in the way recently, so I didn’t want to launch a server and not be able to play. I’ll have it out by this Friday or Saturday.

    Big fan of the MG-43 with ammo bag. Any time I see someone using the SPEAR, I follow them around to keep them stocked and in the fight. (Changed from stalwart)

    OhDoug: helldivers 2 do not encourage teamplay, it's more effective to split up CommissarKai: this is how you can do teamplay, help your team mates, save lives, being almost always together and make everyone happy in the end of the mission.

    Love seeing someone else pointing out the value of corners and funneling! Something I don't see people talking about enough on bots is Strong-Side Cornering. Basically, whenever you have the option, you want to have your obstruction to the left of you. Helldivers (even when shoulder-swapped) favor their right, as do most bots. This means that by putting the corner to your left, you only require minimal exposure to fire, while the bots (for whom that same corner will be on the right) must be nearly or fully exposed before they can effectively fire. The effect is lessened (but still valuable) against center-firing enemies, like Striders, but it can let you absolutely clown on otherwise serious threats such as Heavy Devastators and even some Hulk variants. It's absolutely worth it to take a few seconds to reposition to a strong-side corner whenever you have the opportunity.

    As a rabid spear user, I can say that detector towers and stratagem jammers can't always be destroyed by the spear. It depends on if a fabricator spawns close to the detector tower/stratagem jammer

    I think we were playing Hell Divers, together. I want to say that I was D3, and I didn't know you were a team player. Because most people on here, that I meet or not players.But now that I know you are, and that we still do have team players in the game. I will start back playing more as a team player again thanks. You have just inspired me.
  • The thing you're demonstrating here is more than just strategy- It's impeccable game-sense. Good work man!
  • @decoy2424
    Also worthy to note, the HMG emplacement is also a hell of an anti air weapon.
  • @Longshot-qv8is
    I love the new spear. I can protect allies who overextend without putting myself at risk.
  • @Tyneras
    I've found that in the new swamp biome the eagle airstrike is unreliable at best. Eagle 1 has been taking out a lot of trees, not so many fabricators.
  • Love the team focus. I played Six Days In Faljuah solo because none of my guys were too into that game idea, and when I returned it, I quoted the several Marines who are veterans of the 2nd Battle of Fallujah themselves, and said that they made it pretty clear that without your fireteam, you're a dead man walking. I know solo diving is popular, but like in so many games, dropping with a squad, working together completely changes the game! As one of my friends who's been all over the world doing insane shit says "Stick with the man who has your back".
  • @SplitFinn
    Great to see other Helldivers who actually care about tactics and cooperation. Subbed.
  • I’m actually surprised this channel hasn’t broken 3K subs yet. Channel deserves to have a lot more.
  • @guiltysplit
    I love the fluidity of team play you use, the load out being used to HELP THE TEAM instead of just being an OP solo pusher , the coverage and even the explanations you give on why you play the way you do. Some of the stuff you showed are things I already try to incorporate (if everyone has an auto cannon or spear , I’m picking a loadout to clear out hordes and vice versa) Diversity in loadouts w/ effective team play where everyone plays their role (horde control or anti-armor) while focusing objectives makes any squad unstoppable.
  • @Archon-Zero
    Informative, eloquent, articulate, great tactics, good ethos. Best part for me is the explanation of your in-combat thought process. A very valuable video for me to understand and appreciate a loadout I'm unfamiliar with. Thank you Commissar.
  • @sircdrom
    Love that whole walkthrough of encouraging teamplay without active communication and using an actual mission to showcase how you approach it. Really good stuff!
  • @chronichigh
    "There is no reason to ever have animosity towards your fellow helldivers, we are in this together, we are fighting for super earth and managed democracy and bringing glory to humanity" . Wow what a hell of a motivational speech 🫡 salute!
  • @saint_d_clap600
    I was just trying to figure out the last stratagem on my spear build just like this. Was thinking a needed some crowd control so we will give the gas strike a shot! I also didn’t know the rocket turret will take down gun ships so I might switch from the auto cannon turret. On the bugs the auto turret is great for taking out shrieker nests.
  • @ballius80
    Been in dives with players like you Kai and it makes life so easy When teams break off and go off in duo's its doable but not ideal to sustain combat . It always falls apart, and people just quit the mission will be trying this loadout for sure. Keep up the great vids bruv
  • The moment I first saw the Spear, I was in love with the weapon… so was kinda disappointed about it not locking on properly… now that it’s fixed though, yea, can attest that it’s the GREATEST feeling to clear the skies of those gunships, and have everyone on the team give the “Thank You” prompt 😁
