TOP 3 BEST WEAPONS IN HELLDIVERS 2

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

today I want to show you my best favorite

top 3 or maybe top 4 guns in Helldivers

2. So you want to go over to the armory

and have a look at your primary weapon

selection. So you've got the first weapon

that you get in the beginning of the game

is called the Liberator. Now this is a

pretty good gun, but there's much better

guns available later on in the game. And

then you can also get the upgraded version

called the Liberator Penetrator. And then

you've got marksman rifles, submachine

guns, shotguns, and energy-based rifles.

So I'm just going to say it straight away.

The marksman rifles, they suck. They don't

really do a lot of damage. They can't

rapid fire. They can do burst fire, but

it's kind of rubbish. They've got very

small magazines, so you're constantly

reloading. Not very good at handling most

of the situations you'll find yourself in

in Helldivers 2. If you get swamped by

swarms, this is not going to help you. So

this kind of sucks. I did try out the

Diligence Counter Sniper, but it's just

kind of rubbish. And, um, yeah,

also the Liberator Penetrator is kind of

like a marksman rifle in the way that it's

got a scope And it doesn't really do full

automatic fire, it does semi-automatic or

single shot. And the good thing about this

is it's medium armor penetrating, which

means things like the Crusher or the more

armored-looking walkers, they can actually

be penetrated by this. But the magazine

clip size for this is so small, you're

constantly reloading. And the damage—

well, look at the damage, it's only 45

damage. It's actually less damage than the

Liberator. I would much prefer the

Liberator over the Liberator Penetrator,

just because this has a massive clip.

It's got like 30 or 40 bullets, very rapid

fire, very good at taking down swarms. So

I'd recommend the Liberator over the

Penetrator and any of the marksman rifles.

When we come to the submachine gun, um, I

do like the submachine gun. It's very good

because it's one-handed, which means you

could run and shoot behind you with one

hand. And also it has very good capacity,

45 bullets, same as the Liberator. It's

got more damage than the Liberator as

well, so 55— I mean, it's got 70 damage

versus 55, so it does more damage, same

capacity. It's got a lower recoil, so 10

versus 15. It's got a slower fire rate,

which is kind of weird because you'd think

a submachine gun would have a higher fire

rate than an assault rifle. But yeah, I

recommend submachine gun over the

Liberator. It's just much better, more

damage. And just better. Shotguns. The

Punisher shotgun sucks because between

every shot you've got to pump it. It's a

pump-action shotgun. Every shot in between

you've got to pump. There's no rapid fire,

and you only get like 16 shots before you

reload the whole thing, and it takes

forever. You gotta reload the thing by

inserting one cartridge by one cartridge

at a time. It takes forever to reload.

Definitely use the Breaker shotgun. This

is my favorite gun. And I definitely say

this is my number one favorite gun. I

choose the shotgun, the Breaker shotgun,

every single time. It's got amazing

damage, 330, so only slightly less than

the Punisher. And the good thing about

this, it's not individually reloaded round

by round. You've got a magazine. See the

magazine? You've got 16 rounds, and you

just reload it the same way as you reload

the machine guns. I'll show you later some

gunplay gameplay with the Breaker shotgun,

show you why it's so good. But I always

end up using the shotgun Breaker Breaker

every single time. Maybe if I get bored,

I might try out some marksman rifle, but

they always just seem kind of rubbish.

For example, when you're getting harassed

by the stalkers, the invisible guys, I

have such a hard time dealing with them

using any of these rifles. It takes

magazine after magazine to kill them, but

with the Shotgun Breaker, you can kill

them in one clip or maybe half a clip.

And then the Laz-5 Scythe, the

energy-based gun, this really sucks. I

wouldn't recommend ever using this. It

just— it shoots out like a continuous beam

that burns the enemy very slowly. The

damage is rubbish, it requires reloading

very quickly, and it's just stupid and

bad. So for the pistols, definitely get

the Redeemer pistol, semi-automatic— I

mean, fully automatic pistol. Really good.

This gun is great. It saved me so many

times. Sometimes the primary weapon, even

the Shotgun Breaker, takes a long time to

reload. You've got loads of enemies

chasing you, I switch to the Redeemer and

I just mow them down. Very quick reload

time, very high fire rate. It just mows

stuff down really quickly. And yeah,

fast reload, good damage, very good

sidearm. So very good. And then grenades,

I just like to go for the high explosive

grenade. Actually, I recently unlocked the

impact grenade, so maybe that's better.

I'll try that out. But out of the frag and

the high explosive, I prefer high

explosive because It just does a better

job at taking down things like the armored

crushers. So I might try out the impact

grenade because it says it does 400

damage, which is the same. The annoying

thing about these grenades is it's got a

fuse time, so maybe the impact grenade

will be better. So I'll show you some

gameplay. Okay, so this is the Breaker

shotgun. If you hold R, then you've got

auto and set— uh, now I died. I didn't

realize I chose an Automaton mission. I

should have chose the Terminid. Okay,

hopefully this time I don't get

interrupted. So if you hold R, you can do

auto mode or semi mode. Semi mode just

fires one shot. I don't know why you would

choose that over auto mode. Auto mode is

great. So watch this, you just hold down

the fire button And it rapid fires so

quickly, it's basically like some kind of

machine gun assault rifle but sprays out

shotgun bullets and does the damage of a

shotgun kind of rifle. So it's really

good. You get 16 bullets and

then you reload, reload the entire clip.

Reloads in like 1 second, so it's really

great. Not very good against the Armored

Crushers though. I was trying to find

someone, something to shoot to show you

how good it is. Maybe this thing.

So half a clip— no,

nearly full clip to take down one of

those. Okay, someone traitor detected.

So I just got air striked by my own team.

Hopefully this time I can actually show

you how good it is without getting blown

up. So these guys take like

half a clip to kill. The walkers take a

couple, couple shots.

Most things just die within half a clip,

even the invisible stalker things.

These ones take a lot of bullets, they're

like a massive bullet sponge, they usually

take one clip or more.

What else is there? Oh, this guy down

here.

They take quite a lot of shots,

but I reckon it would take way longer if

you use the assault rifle. The assault

rifle is only good for shooting the small

bugs, but it's kind of crappy for anything

else. I always choose the shotgun breaker.

Look how good it is.

See? Pretty good.

Why are there so many of these vile spewer

things? And these little bugs,

they die in like one shot. So you may be

thinking because it's a shotgun it's only

for close range. No, it's actually really

good for long range as well, and medium

range. Just can't see anything to shoot at

right now.

And then for the pistol, the Redeemer,

really good as well. Watch this, it sprays

so quickly, reloads really quickly as

well. If you're in an emergency like

this, look at that, I just

shredded that in the face. It's actually—

sometimes I think the Redeemer pistol is

better than the shotgun. I choose to use

it in emergencies rather than using the

shotgun because it's just better.

Oh, we finished the mission. Well, that

was easy. So I'll show you the shotgun at

long range. It's still pretty

good at long range.

Still does good damage.
