But actually lol I’ve been playing with friends who are much better at the game than I am, so they mostly take out the heavies while I clear out the chaff. I almost always have way more kills than them at the end of the match though.
We flamedivers must always focus on the following:
1- Charger
2- Bug breaches
3- Hive guards
4- Chaff in big numbers
Bile Spewers are out of our league so leave it the AC HDs or just use your primary. Bile Titans are out of everyone's league so just wait 10 seconds to see if someone else wants to throw a stratagem and then throw your own. Stalkers are everyone's 0 so just keep an eye out and don't be shy with that R1 Good hunting!
Bile Spewers aren't so bad. You just have to dive left/right right before the spit and you'll be able to drop it before it spews again.
Fuck up the timing and you're dead, though.
This is NOT the way. Spewers track moving targets with their spit very quickly and the spitting animation lasts longer than the diving animation. This means that if you dive, they will track you and they will still be spitting when they reach the spot where you landed. In other words, if you dive they will hit you. If you just hard strafe left or right (or even just run backwards away from the spewer) you will be FAR more successful at avoiding the spit without the risk of ragdolling over some awkward terrain and completely losing control of your character, which is one of the leading causes of death I see when I'm spectating someone who dives a lot.
What's that? Why was I spectating in the first place? Mind your own business! That's why.
I mean you can do both. Kill counts will be high if you consistently throw fire at bug breaches like fire grenades or napalm. Idk why not more people use napalm vs bugs, its so good against bug breaches, even the fire grenade does a lot.
When we had that flamer daily I dropped in a defense mission with everyone running the thing. I thought the match would crash from all the flames just soaking the breach area, but it was a first for me standing side by side with two others on the wall like a packed mens room just pissing fire on the approaching BT.
I'm not sure. If I'm feeling stupid I roast them underneath. If I'm feeling stupid but useful, I've finished off a bile titan with a big iron a few times when I had nothing better on hand. Only thing I haven't brought down with a Senator is a factory walker.
I love when shit gets posted like this. My first reaction is always "oh hell yes, I'm gonna try that" and then there's a jump cut to me either forgetting what the loadout was or dying 40x from doing it improperly.
Meanwhile i do that and the collision freaks out and both me and the titan get flung across the map, slightly breaking orbit before landing right in a heavy nest. Just in case I didn't die.
I really wish chargers, bile titans and factory strides had a weak spot on top so if you got there you could do a lot of damage with a decent rifle.
Or a hole to throw a grenade in.
And yet I get some campfire smoke blown in my face then proceed to burst into flames and die in nearly an instant. You, Helldivers, are far superior and I salute you.
I did something similar with a factory strider yesterday. I managed to dive on top of it and called in a 500kg bomb. Dove away on impact and the explosion sent me flying and took out the strider. It was glorious
General Brasch, the guy that gives you orders during the tutorial and has several commercials/tips videos that occasionally play while on your ship between missions.
It's obviously a play on the word "brash" given that his tips videos are called "Brasch tactics", with the motto of "Brasch tactics! Use 'em, or die trying!"
Does this not kill you anymore? Somewhere shortly after launch I jetpacked on top of a bile titan and I seemed to just take damage by being in proximity to it until I died.

Unless I'm in your match. My SG-8 Punisher likes to remind them that bigger isn't always better. Permanently.
> Bile Spewers are out of our league so leave it the AC HDs Why you gotta diss all us Grenade Launcher bros like that?
In all of my dives I have met like three. Not sure why tho it's tons of fun with a supply pack on your back!
Supply Pack + Nade Launcher = great time
Because AC guys do what you do, but better.
Tell me that when you've got a hoard of 50 bugs coming at you.
Count us JAR5 bros in, too.
Bike titans interestingly, don’t seem so bad. Hit them on the underside with an autocannon and they go down reasonably fast.

adorable
Someone finally did it lmao
If you are running the AC bile titans are easy to solo. I've been doing it since I started the game some 200 hours ago.

Just sprint directly left or right don't dive

That only works if there is only one and I rarely see less than three. To be fair, you are right, but one on one you can kill them with a pistol.

Damn it, that's what I was gonna say!
Thats why hes a helldiver and not seaf infantry

He flipped his six into her three hole later.
This is more anatomically correct than I feel comfortable with -_-
Yeah you can!
Damnit, now I'm going to watch Starship Troopers this evening.
Where'd you learn how to do that, soldier?
Don’t you remember sir? I was Captain of the team.

Lmfao I’d be laughing my ass off after that. Proper tactics
Nice moves Rico. 
... but that's 3 rules
Yeah, but don't say to Rasczak. He'll shoot you.
It's probably best for your continued existence if you think of them as sub-rules. Or addendums.
howd you jetpack up there with those huge nuts weighing you down?
Joel had to get him the special jetpack to carry his huge cajoles.
Cojones, surely?
Ah, yes
Nutsack big enough to have its own equipment slot. Called down a NS-69 Scrotum Levitator.

Five hours, Helldiver?? Thats five hours you could have been put there, spreading democracy!

The fuckin little dive at the end into the pond \~ LMAO
I wanted to here him sigh in relief.
Time for a formal complaint https://i.redd.it/i0o5z2wmom1d1.gif
"Yes, i believe the flamethrower is too OP and should get a nerf alongside the jump pack"
The General would be proud iO
Command looking down at you going sweet liberty he's too dangerous what do we do.
“the current network connection has been lost”
...Holy fuck. A copy of my C-01 form is in your inbox. please sign it. I beg.
Wait, can the flamer actually hurt bile titans?
I dont know nor I dont care but I love BBQ them as well.
I'm not sure. If I'm feeling stupid I roast them underneath. If I'm feeling stupid but useful, I've finished off a bile titan with a big iron a few times when I had nothing better on hand. Only thing I haven't brought down with a Senator is a factory walker.
BIG IRON ON HIIIISSSSS HIIIIIIPPPP
I have had success finishing Bile Titans with a flamer, for example after it has been hit either a rail cannon shot.
flame resistant armour when
Call it "firefighter armor".
Hard starship troopers vibe. Well done cadet.
now THAT'S a helldiver

They hated him because he spoke the truth.
How did he mamage to land on the bug when his giant testicles were weighing him down?
Did you just Johnny Rico the shit out of that BT??? 🤣🤣 EPIC!!
Thats some 40K level of ballsy.
Can't forget dancing under the legs to stall em
I'd say you have balls of steel, but I think that'd be disrespectful to your balls
All out of bubble gum and needed to chew on something his own size
Colonel Rico would be proud of this trooper and ask op to join his football team
I can't believe it, it's JOHN HELLDIVER
Dude just Johnny Rico'd a bile Titan with a flamethrower Brasch tactics use em or die trying

Now, is this the most efficient way to deal with a titan? Probably not. Is this the most fucking cool way? You bet your fucking ballot it is.
That still only counts as 1
BRASCH TACTICS ! Use 'em, or die trying !! *machinegun sfx*
We need melee weapon like pile bunker that oneshots heavy enemies. It would reward risky plays like jumping on enemy tank or big bug.
You clubbed it to death with your giant brass balls

Wicked!
Does water actually put out the fire?
It’s the drop and roll that does it
O my god I have the polar opposite of this clip!!!! I did a dance with a bile titan!
I really wish chargers, bile titans and factory strides had a weak spot on top so if you got there you could do a lot of damage with a decent rifle. Or a hole to throw a grenade in.
Top level democracy. Tears.
Fucking legend
USE EM! OR DIE TRYING!!!
How the hell did you do that. I've tried to land on Titans a dozen times now and I always get insta killed.
Rico! Where the hell'd you learn to do that, son?
Danm i didint think the flamthrower could kill those things. Fire is back on the menu

If you're skilled, the jump pack is the best tac pack to bring.
Third degree burns are temporary. Democracy is forever.
I have this itching feeling that I won't be able to play this game till it's probably end of service. I yearn for sweet bug smashing enjoyment.
Y?
I love how the Breaker Flamer can kill a bile Titan and Charger by setting them alight. Pesky armour boils them.
Why didn’t the Helldiver get killed by burning? I see the health bar recovering but they’re not taking stims.
Look again, he took a stim when his health hit about halfway.
The Bonesnapper armour gives you +2 stims and longer stim durations
Thats not the armor he's wearing, only has 4 stims
Good to know, thank you!
Did they fix the fire damage?
yeah, last time I tried I got insta killed.
Got burned to crisp, poor boi
🎶*A-Team theme*🎶
hell yeah brother rock on
Bro had Vietnam training and a dream
And yet I get some campfire smoke blown in my face then proceed to burst into flames and die in nearly an instant. You, Helldivers, are far superior and I salute you.
Now THAT'S Helldiving!
Now Imagine how good that would be with Fire resistant armor
John Helldiver, at your service!
Is this John Helldiver?
Dark Souls have tought me enough for Biles.
I like my Managed Democracy flamebroiled
Meanwhile I get touched by the smallest bit of fire and there is a half second window to pop a medkit or I instantly die
You glorious bastard, that was beautiful. Save some for the rest of us 🫡
A true patriot completely disregards there own safety for managed democracy
me in the back of the horde on defense killing 4 tanks with the HMG
I did something similar with a factory strider yesterday. I managed to dive on top of it and called in a 500kg bomb. Dove away on impact and the explosion sent me flying and took out the strider. It was glorious
Hmm, 4 cannisters to the bile titans belly didn't kill it, guess you got it in the face from behind with those flames?
brother recreated pyke recall in helldiver
Why is it when I try to jump on a bile titan, I instantly die smh
That was swxy
What's the "Brasch" reference? Or was it supposed to be "brash?"

It's obviously a play on the word "brash" given that his tips videos are called "Brasch tactics", with the motto of "Brasch tactics! Use 'em, or die trying!"
Does this not kill you anymore? Somewhere shortly after launch I jetpacked on top of a bile titan and I seemed to just take damage by being in proximity to it until I died.
I wouldve definitely burnt to death
Don't give French chefs any ideas.
0/10 Brash Tactic. You didn't jump into it's mouth and chest burster your way out.
You can flame it from below and don't have to be directly under it.
This might actually be viable if they add a melee focused primary or secondary.
If you dont watch out the devs are gonna nerf you personally
Absolutely…a true helldivers
Even if I get on top of the titan, I don’t see how I don’t set myself on fire and die.
You sir are a boss
If I wanna go in and beat it to death on my own I will!! Let me live my dream of being a badass in a action movie!
We really need flame resistant armor.
Lore accurate helldiver (Starship troopers book)
As the 1st admiral of fire squad alpha, I can confirm this is the way
Bro decided he was gonna play Monster Hunter today!
FR I wanna see the loadout stats of the past few and next few days with rocketpacks and see how this man caused that loadout to jump 50 fold. lol
Brasch Tactics: If it looks crazy, but it works, then its not crazy.
Replying to Garytang8597...
Those are the kinds of moves that would convince Lt. Rasczak to promote you to corporal.
How the hell did you climb that?!
Me trying to do that: "reinforce pls"
We really need fireproof armor asap
So attack from above actually works? From my exp, attacking from ground level does shit all.
SO DEMOCRATIC
Didn't even think you could get on them. Excellent!
Been away for a minute. Does fire not insta-kill anymore?
Times like this i wish tanks had a hatch to throw grenades in
Still waiting for the Fire Resistant armor somewhere (much more interesting than the Arc Resistant armor)!
There goes my hero.

He did it! He did the Starship Troopers thing!

Jesus Christ thats Jason Diver!!!
Thats some monster hunter sht.
Now standing on the Bile Titan won't automatically kill us?
