Testing Helldivers 2's ULTIMATE Gun - INSANE DAMAGE

Hello and welcome back to a new video. So

if you go down to the final page on the

War Bonds, you'll see this weapon called

the Plasma Scorcher. It's the final

weapon. It takes a very long time to get,

need over 1,000 medals, and I finally got

myself the Scorcher. I thought we'd test

it out today to see if it was worth all

that time and effort to get. So the Plasma

Scorcher has 100 damage, 15 capacity,

20 recoil, 250 fire rate, light armor

penetrating, and explosive. Let's see if

it's any good. We're gonna jump into a

game. Okay, so we just landed. I've got

the gun here. Fire some test shots. It

shoots this blue orb, makes this kind of

thud thud sound.

So reloads fairly normally. You don't

have rapid-fire mode, you have to keep

clicking the button. There's no

semi-automatic or fully automatic mode,

single shot. So you go Click, click,

click, click, click, and then reload. And

I think you get about— I forgot how many

rounds— 4, 5, 6— it's about 12,

12 to 15 shots. Okay, let's see what the

damage is like. See if I find any enemies.

So it takes a couple shots to take the

small guys down. Problem is you keep

running out of ammo. Anything bigger than

the small guys takes a few shots, and I

just got nuked.

Against the little guys, it's pretty good,

but then everything is, isn't it? Look at

the scope. The scope looks pretty cool.

You've got these little metal brass nipple

things on either side.

Huh, what? I don't understand what keeps

exploding me like that. Are they

like blowing themselves up when they reach

me? To be honest, I don't really feel like

it's any better than the Breaker shotgun,

which is my go-to weapon. It only does 100

damage, whereas the Breaker shotgun does

330 in one shot. So to match the Breaker,

you gotta do 3 shots. And they're not very

rapid-firing. I mean, for a single-shot

weapon, 100 damage is double the damage of

what any of the Liberator assault rifles

do. Oh, I forgot to

get on the ship. I really do like the

design. It looks pretty cool, kind of

looks like a weapon you'd find on

Starfield. Starfield has some pretty

interesting science fiction futuristic

but realistic-looking weapons. It's just a

shame it's kind of a boring gun to use.

It just shoots out little blue orbs. It's

not very interesting considering this is

the last weapon on the War Bonds page. I

really wish they let you customize

weapons, like change the scopes, change

the muzzle, change the stock, or the

ammunition type. That'd be so cool if it

was like Rainbow Six with the level of

weapon customization. Maybe they'll add

that later in the game. The long-range

capabilities of the gun are pretty good.

Also, the recoil is really good. It really

doesn't recoil much, so you can keep just

pelting out shots. It kind of feels like

an airsoft rifle, even the sound. I don't

know if you've seen those airsoft videos

on YouTube where they put some sound

effects and it's like put, put, put. Even

the bullet, the bullet looks like a big

purple airsoft round. It just doesn't

really feel very— it doesn't feel very

devastating. It actually

feels like a toy. Kind of a letdown

compared to some of the other guns. Some

of the guns in this game are really cool,

like the autocannon, the recoilless rifle.

Damn, we just finished this mission in

like a minute.

Yeah, but this gun, it looks cool but it

doesn't feel cool.

I don't know if I'd use this over other

weapons. The Breaker shotgun still feels

like it's better because the Breaker

shotgun has a bigger round, it's got a

faster fire rate, so if you do get swarmed

you can just go bam bam bam bam bam bam.

It also does more damage, 330 damage.

Per round on the Breaker shotgun. This

only does 100, so I don't know why you'd

use this. I guess this does have better

long-range capabilities. So I want to try

out this gun, the Breaker Incendiary,

compared to the Scorcher because I just

unlocked it, and they're kind of similar.

This one's fire-based, this one's

energy-based. Ready up.

Okay, let's have a look at this Breaker

Incendiary. I wonder if it's better than

the actual Breaker gun. So what,

only shoots burst fire? It's got burst and

semi. It's weird,

it's not fully automatic. I wonder

why they did that. Wait a minute.

Oh, I keep wasting my magazines by

reloading. You can keep spamming the click

button and to do kind of fully automatic.

Okay, let's see how much damage it does.

Did you know if you dived to land, you

take way less fall damage? Just a little

tip. Let's see, test out on these single

guys, small guys.

Is it— oh, it's setting them on fire.

It's pretty cool. The Liberator Explosive.

Doesn't do that. Oh, that's because it's

explosive and not incendiary.

Oh, that's cool, it actually sets them on

fire. Why doesn't the, the +1

Scorcher do that? I mean, it's in the

name, Scorcher. It doesn't scorch

anything. I wonder how much

damage the fire does. It does spread out a

lot though, so unless the enemy's nearby

to you, doesn't seem like it's gonna do a

lot of damage. So I thought I'd just drop

into a level 9 difficulty Terminid mission

using only the Scorcher, see how well it

fares up. Usually I'd use the railgun like

everyone else. Well, at least it one-shots

these pretty easily. I hate those guys

that jump at you, and that big fat green

belly guy, they're annoying too.

I think it is armor-piercing because I'm

not seeing the little sign. It takes the

Brood Commander down pretty easily.

Might need to clear that Charger first.

There's nothing I can do with it— against

it with this. It actually

does kill things pretty well.

I have to get rid— oh, that guy's lost—

the Charger's lost his back leg armor.

It's getting shot at by its own people.

Oh, he's dead. The acid things killed its

own Charger. Okay.

Oh, it 3 or 2 shot killed that armored

thing.

I guess it's okay. I don't know if I'd use

this over the shotgun. There's so many of

these damn things keep spawning. It

doesn't seem to let me headshot The green

things. See, it's bouncing. See,

it's bouncing, but I can get the Brood

Commanders. These things are so annoying

because they do so much damage with that

spray,

and I don't have any grenades to deal with

It really destroys the Brood Commanders

though. Look, I think that took 2 shots,

but it's really sucky against the big fat

green-bellied ones. I don't know what

they're called. Oh wow, what was that?

I just walked into one. I hate it

when that happens. They just seem to sneak

up behind you.
