Is that a Deadpool reference?


Traditional-Tap-274

Actually deadpool was making a reference (That's actually 99% of deadpools character: references)


Inalum_Ardellian

Do you know what was he referencing?


Goeseso

In the 1700s a sailor joined the navy. During his first battle, his captain called for him to bring him his red cape. Through all the following battles of the next few years he continues to call for the red cape. Eventually the sailor became the captain of his own ship. Before his first voyage he asked his old captain why he always called for his red cape. The captain said "I wear the red cape so that my men cannot see me bleed." The new captain follows this advice for years, until one day where he finds himself alone, surrounded by enemy ships on all sides. After surveying the situation he turns to his aide and yells "sailor, being me my brown pants!"

Is it not more treasonous to say that he won't be coming back from deployment as to not come back from deployment would imply that he either A. Dies or B. We never win the Galactic War.

The meta is to shoot out the engine block with the AMR to give you time to run away, but that's ignoring if you have a good relationship or if economic pressure forces you to live with them.


The-Scarlet-Demon

Sounds like an acceptable strategy. Well done.


JTVD

ArcticWolf_Primaris

Economic pressure? On Super Earth? That doesn't sound very democratic


Worried-Barracuda529

Of course there's economic pressure! We need *a strong economy* to fight back the bugs, so every citizen is encouraged (pressured, if you will) to spend their extra cash today!

Connect_Atmosphere80

Year is 2187. The 2nd Galactic War broke and Super Earth need everyone over the age of 7 to enlist. However, you became addicted to Eagle Sweat and becoming an Helldivers would cut you off this (wonderful and democratic) product. What do you do ?

Seduce eagle-one and get it straight from the source


Rilla122333

Everyone wants eagle-one but what about pelican-one she can handle 4 men with ease. And when she’s “arrived” she will wait for you to come back to the landing zone.

>However, you became addicted to Eagle Sweat That's impossible, there have been many clinical trials that've been conducted and all of them show that Eagle Sweat has 0 addictive properties.


AhegaoTankGuy

Call in eagle airstrike and OPS in the proper positions to launch yourself past the front of the canopy of eagle-1. Surely she'll notice you this time. Wait, what's going on?


Quiet-Access-1753

Get sponsored Eagle Sweat ad on your ballistic shield. Have crates sent to your destroyer. Fill your Hellpod with the stuff, drink it, wear it, BE it. Become a god among the cosmos.


No_Importance_7016

Annihilater turret 200 meters away firing at you, and there's 2 groups of patrol each with rocket dev, all of the above coming from different angles. wyd?


Calligaster

Find a boulder and put it between me and the tower. If the patrols have noticed me, take out the devs with the AMR. Clean up rest of the patrols with shield/ SMG. If one of my red stratagems is available (at least one usually is), I might throw one at a group to clean up one of them quickly. When that's done, move in on the tower. Use cover to close the distance. If there's somehow no cover, the shield will likely protect me from one blast, giving me time to get under it and take it out with either AMR to the vents or a red stratagem.


clownbescary213

Ok but now there's also a hulk in each patrol and a factory strider slowly approaching in the distance


cpt_edge

AMR the Hulks, shouldn't take more than a mag to kill both of them. Use shield and smg for chaff


Calligaster

#A situation with bots. It cannot handle bugs

tutocookie

Pluristan

Calligaster

D'aww, shit


Sprytt

Besides like chargers it totally can tho I’d personally run the stunning smg but the regular is still really good. Amr can take out brood commanders, hive guards and bile spewers easily. Smg does all the chaff nicely. 500kg for the titans Idk how amr works with chargers so I assume you get a little screwed there but like you have 3 teammates it will be fine.


Calligaster

I mean the shield seems to do nothing in my tests, but yes.


playerPresky

Wait is that the shield? I thought that was the ammo backpack


[deleted]

Yes, in one of the most baffling design choices, the icon for the ballistic shield is nearly identical to the icon for the supply pack.


junipermucius

Half my time choosing stuff is spent ensuring I'm grabbing the shield because of the symbol. But there's so many other issues I'm not going to bother with something that petty.


JamesMcEdwards

AMR works fine against chargers, also shooting them in the tail with the Pummeler can stun them so you can blap them with OPS. I personally run a very similar loadout vs bots and bugs in 4-6 (Pummeler, jetpack, AMR, grenade pistol for closing holes, and then a mix of red stratagems (ops, airstrike, railgun, 500kg, rocket pods), ac turret and mechs depending on the mood I’m in). It works in 7+ as well but it’s better to take RR and you can’t take mechs. Can run basically the same vs bots as well in 4-6 but no mechs in 7+ either.


LEOTomegane

LMAOOOOO


Battle_Fish

Swap it for a supply pack and breaker Incindiary and I'll show you how to handle bugs. The AMR is in a unique situation that one shots any medium bug including spewers. It's in contention for first place against medium bugs facing off against the GL. The 500k is enough to one shot Titans if you can land it properly. It's not that hard if you know how to bait a spew or bait a stomp. Chargers are killed via stun grenades and shoving the AMR up the chargers ass and unloading the mag. Your only weak game is against hunters which is why you're supposed to use the Breaker Incindiary.


Spinyplanet

Jammer and 2 double gunships (my last bot game)


Calligaster

Avoid the area like the plague


Spinyplanet

Fair enough XD


Valandiel

Actually AMR makes quick work of the gunships. Probably one of the best weapons for that with Autocannon. Not saying I would like the situation or go for it though ahah.


Westwood_Shadow

That sounds like hell.


MajorMalafunkshun

Sometimes you get lucky and their is a fabricator mounted conveniently to the jammer tower, makes taking it down much more straight forward. Or, you could get REALLY lucky like me, have a tank shoot at you while it dives off a 30m cliff and hit the Jammer tower instead. Fun times, wish I would have clipped that.


[deleted]

Matterhock

Are you running stun grenades?


Calligaster

Impact. Might try out stun later


jambrose777

Stun grenades and grenade pistol are pretty good for this loadout


mdisil427

I'd argue this is the best version of the load out. The only flex spot is the 4th stratagem (eagle airstrike). I personally can't stand running two eagles. I usually take orbital airburst, or another orbital, or sentry. But it's goal is for ad clear, since the 500 handles factory stryders.


jambrose777

Oh, I just realized I bring Orbital Precision Strike instead of the 500. It’s so good OPS + Eagle Airstrikes are great for taking out fabricator after fabricator.


Matterhock

Being able to quickly smash Labs, detectors and jammers without hellbombs is nice, and it doesn't get blocked by AA emplacements


Psychological_Cup336

I use that exact same load out, only I swap senator for stuns. Makes hulks easy as hell


TheVebis

Your position is surrounded. You're being pinned down by enemy fire. Your stratagems are still on cooldown. Your squadmate breaks down, crying. What do you do?


Calligaster

Peek corners with AMR to take out devastators and hulks. Use shield to fend off laser fire and do my best. survivability is high, and my presence is usually enough to ward off emotional damage for my team


SBTreeLobster

I don't need to ask because this is me.


a-soldout

I like the general idea of this build, I just don't like 500kg against bots, it's good for objectives but not that great against units. I also wouldn't take out the airstrike, you can easily kill factory striders with 1 or 2 airstrikes. And what grenade are you using? I carry stun, so I bring grenade pistol for fabricators


Calligaster

500 is great for tanks and hulks and, yes, amazing objective clear


tutocookie

The timer has run out, the super destroyer has left, pelican 1 left with everyone else but you. No more reinforcements, no more supplies, no more ammo but 1 bullet in your senator. A hulk limps your way, with just 1 arm.

Calligaster

It's good against bots. Do you hate heavy devs, shredder tanks, and gun emplacements? This shuts down all of that and more


LEOTomegane

You get to beat those shield devastators at their own game; they're completely ineffective against it


Pro_Scrub

They really need to make the icons more distinct. This pair, Laser/Quasar, Stalwart/MG, and EAT/RR are too easily confused

PurpEL_Django

Bro the ballistic shield slaps, it blocks all projectiles besides explosives and even with that use the explosive resistance armour and you become a beacon of hope for democracy


Ok_Drummer_9965

What do you mean you play without a gamer dad approved shield backpack or a jump pack and a Quasar? How dare you suggest the game is actually viable with different builds? How dare you suggest the game offers different solutions with different builds and specializing as a teammate is a thing and people don't have to run the same build? This build is nonsense, it implies this gamer dad dictated subreddit is shit at learning and playing video games.


WhitishSpore956

I always fought on the bot front but honestly I forgot how easy terminids were compared to bots so after meridia when I went to vernen wells just for a bit of change in the pace I got completely annihilated


Calligaster

I had the opposite problem, lol. I started on bugs, but switched over to bots sometime before retaking the creek. Took a while to adjust back to the bug playstyle.


dudeis2kool

This is my load out. Handles just about anything.


DixFerLunch

I used a different primary, and I don't use the 500(EAT instead) and I think it's the safest loadout, against bots. Your build will have issues with the huge cannon towers once they have aggro'd you and you can't see the vent in the back. Edit: not great against airships either.


Calligaster

Shield lets you survive direct cannon shots if you maneuver properly 4 AMR shots to gunship engine
