Episode one of HELPDIVERS. in this episode, I cover the ins & outs of the machine gun class of weapons. from the portable buzzsaw that is the stalwart to the misbegotten door stop that is the heavy machine gun, I cover it all in this concise guidance program.

Machine guns should naturally find themselves at the very top of all tier lists. This guide will act as your one stop tutorial to become the master of machine gunning.

    machine gun man = forklift certified

    They just added a third person crosshair to the hmg while I was watching this video.

    My HMG strat versus bots: Always use fortified armor. Keep the default medium RPM setting. Click the trigger repeatedly, like a burst fire mode. Be crouched. Rarely hold the trigger, just click it faster when you are on target, and slower when you are off target. This thing shreds devastators like no other. Praise be unto Arrowhead for giving us a reticle.

    Edit: Read thread New explosive rifle + Stalwart = bliss Edit: I swapped the Stalwart for the HMG since they improved it slightly, seems to be doing well. Can also go for the Sickle+Autocannon meta
  • @CaptainGrief66
    Hell yeah someone that understands that watching the tracers is how you use a machine gun, HMG is so underrated, though it would be nice if it got a better sight with better zoom (and an accurate reticle)
  • @s_t_r_a_y_e_d
    the fact the stalwart fires as fast as the gatling turret is too fun to ignore
  • @adjoe4799
    We need a mission with diff9 number of enemies but without the armoured ones, so we can just spray and pray to our hearts content
  • @AceOf_Diamonds_
    I ab-so-lutely love the editing in this video. The VHS effects, the nintendo music, the mario sfx, the memes here and there. This video is beautiful
  • @nop9222
    the masculine urge to hold the line with a machine gun is unbearable
  • @CheebsM22
    Hmg has a weird learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it works wonders
  • Love how the default video on helldivers YouTube is WW2 style mini tactics guides
  • @spyker_aileron
    Machine guns that immobilize you to reload should have a team reload mechanic that that allows you to blow all the ammo down range without a reloading animation.
  • @CaptAUGseome
    Okay, I love the nintendo music. The VHS training video feeling is great. The + 420 intervention was peak. Very nice video brother.
  • @DeismaGames
    i really appreciate the format you chose for the video. really makes it unique amongst other videos. makes me feel as though im watching a VHS tape of self help financial advice.
  • @NokkOnWood
    As a man who uses the heavy machine gun often, this is unironically the best representation of how to use it properly.
  • @Icewall956
    The stalwart is the single most versatile weapon in the game, and more people need to see that. Support to explosives? Stalwart. Simple bulletmaxxing? Stalwart. Compliment to a laser weapon? Stalwart. Almost every build? Stalwart.
  • @JumpDaddy70
    Nah, Im a machinegunner IRL. Just use 5 second bursts for area denial
  • @keeb__
    I am curious how the stylization of your videos would effect it's algorithmic performance. This video was amazing and I feel like the compression and analog effects would hamper it's outreach.

    This is like a YouTuber living on Cyberstan making content, about 10 seconds before the Reclamation started 😂 I love it keep making these
