Solo HELLDIVERS 2 on Max Difficulty - Full Guided Run

Okay, so today we're going to do a solo

Helldive run. I'm not going to do one of

those cheesy maps where you just stay at

the top of the base and defend it. I'm

going to do a proper map with objectives

and stuff like that, maybe the ICBM map.

So for the loadout, I'm going to choose

the shotgun Breaker and the Redeemer

pistol with impact grenade. For the armor,

I'm going to go for, hmm, probably light

armor, probably go for the scout armor,

the Trailblazer, so I can have stealth and

reduce detection by 30%. And then for the

helmet, go for this one because I heard it

makes you go faster. Not sure if it

actually does. Let me just actually equip

it. And equip. And I

think we're ready to go. Let me change the

cape. We can't have a bright orange cape

with a green armor outfit. Okay, so let's

go to the mission terminal. I might do— I

hate escort and protect and evacuate

civilians. Those are the worst. Let's do

ICBM on Vandalon.

Vandalon's a nice planet. I like the snow,

very nice snow physics. I like it when you

crawl in the snow and then it leaves an

impression on the snow. Very cool. Okay,

let's get down to the planet's surface.

Oh yeah, first of all, the loadout and

stress rooms. So we're gonna land— hmm,

where should I land? Maybe there.

Why is the entire map glowing red? This is

not gonna be good. So I'll probably land

there and then go from here, here, then

I've got to go all the way down there and

then back up again. It's kind of an

awkward map. You could go there, there,

then cut through there, there. Uh, okay,

I'll land. Is there anywhere safe?

Everywhere's just glowing red. Hopefully

Maybe they're safe. And then for the

loadout, go for obviously railgun, shield

pack, 500 kg bomb, and the

orbital laser. And then for my booster,

I could boost my radar or my stamina.

I might boost my radar, that could be more

useful. So just to make sure there's no

misunderstanding, this is not a no-death

run. So if I die, don't say like, oh,

clickbait. I never said I'm not— I've

never said— I never said I'm not going to

die. Okay, give me a break. I really hope

the landing zone is at least clear. Let's

get a view. Where should I land? Here?

What was that big yellow-orange X? Oh my

god, what's that? Oh my god, there's

enemies there. Check the minimap. Oh,

this is kind of safe. Oh, the stratagems

are being jammed. Let me run over here.

Maybe, maybe over there. Oh, there's loads

of enemies there. We're still jammed,

still jammed. How am I gonna do anything

if I can't even call down stratagems?

Maybe here. I'm still jammed. What? I

actually can't even cool down anything. I

finally found a place I can cool down my

stuff. Oh crap,

Eagle Bomb. Oh, it's got the stupid

scrambled stratagem thing. I hate that.

Now I've just wasted my Eagle Bomb.

And that was my railgun. Yeah, that's what

I wanted. I don't know if they've been

alerted to where I am.

Oh no, another Eagle Bomb!

God, I hate the automatons. Oh no,

they're coming! Oh my god, I nearly killed

myself. Where's my shield? What? Oh, my

game's bugged! It's doing that thing— I

can't move! Look, it's like

glitched. I forgot how to get out of this.

You've got to jump or something.

Look, my stratagem menu won't close and

I can't move. This game is so

stupid, isn't it? I can get down here,

maybe he'll jump out of it. Oh, I got out

of it, but now I'm gonna drown. This is

not going well. Okay, first death, I

drowned because the stupid menu glitched.

That technically is not my fault, okay?

Okay, I landed on top of the mountain. I

don't think they've spotted me. Oh crap,

they did spot me.

Now if I can go and get my railgun and— oh

my god, oh, they just shot their own guy.

Oh, my railgun's there.

I didn't reload. I thought I reloaded.

So if I can get my shield pack quickly—

oh, not another laser. I actually need the

laser. Just please not the 500 kg bomb.

Come on, give me my Backpack.

Thank you. It just took me wasting all my

stratagems. Oh my god, now I'm gonna die.

How am I gonna survive this? If I

can get the backpack— give me the

backpack. Yes! Now I need my railgun.

Imagine if they just let you load all your

railgun stuff and have it when you land?

That would be a great idea. And why not

just pack the railgun inside of the pod

before he drops out? That would be more

logical, wouldn't it? Okay, I need

resupply. Oh my god, I'm out of ammo.

Someone's shooting rockets at me. That

Okay, I think I can get on my feet now.

Once I get the railgun— it's

a Hulk Smasher thing. Let me go and get

the railgun, then I can get rid of it.

It's only there.

Give me the railgun! Oh, shot in the back!

2 shots, come on! Oh my

god, is it still not dead? I can't believe

I shot it 3 times in the back and it

didn't go down.

Oh, headshot! Did you see that? 2 shots

with the railgun. But this stupid rocket

guy, where is he? I swear he was there.

Oh, I missed. That guy is deadly.

Finally, it took like 4 shots. Okay, let

me get my supplies. That was such a— oh my

God, there's more coming. That was such a

rocky start. I just one-shot that Hulk

I like how it penetrates the shield and

you can see 2 orange holes where it went

through. It's pretty cool.

These guys, they're hard to get headshots,

their head's so small.

So if I can get the supplies— whew,

I got the supplies, thank God. Okay, now

we can actually start getting on with the

mission. Now first we gotta go to

reactivate power generator.

It's quite a big enemy presence here.

Should I shoot them first or use— I'm

jammed anyway. Maybe I'll just shoot

them all since I can't do anything else.

So the trick is with solo Helldive

gameplay is stealth and railgun.

How did that bounce off it? I've never

seen that before. So stealth,

taking cover,

conserving ammunition,

making sure you've always got your railgun

reloaded. I think they've dropped in— oh

my god. At least they just dropped some

small guys.

What else did they drop?

Oh, they— a rocket guy,

chainsaw guy. Uh-oh. These guys take so

many bullets, and then you want to fall

back. When you need to.

Switch weapons. Switching to your sidearm

is sometimes faster than reloading,

because these guys will swarm you.

This is bad. Oh my god, and he jumped off

the cliff! Quick, quick, quick, go this

way. You gotta kite

these guys. Because they take so many

damn shots. Why does he keep sliding?

What's that over there shooting me?

Reload,

and then next.

Oh my god, I forgot about that rocket guy.

Oh my god. Did that kill it?

Do I have supplies? I'm being jammed.

There may be supplies in here.

Oh, ammo, gimme!

Oh crap, those guys can one-shot

you if you're not careful. Oh my god,

one shot! Also tap

the direction buttons to make sure you

like inch. Oh, did you see that? He ran

and I just took out his legs. What's that?

I see the shield generator is so good.

So what I mean is, look— oh crap,

you can actually throw those back as well,

you know. So if you aim charge up the shot

and then miss. Wasn't expecting that.

So you want to like inch out just so

you get a headshot but don't expose

yourself too much. Okay, we've got

terminal over there.

Everything's reloaded, I think.

It's Still, I can't get any stratagems

here. We got to take out that spinning

thing.

Oh, how many are there? God, that was a

good railgun shot. Any more?

6, 6. Oh crap.

Oh my god, come on, get a headshot.

That was in the head, come on. Oh, that

was a headshot. And you gotta be careful

because they blow up when they die.

I kind of I feel like I'm playing Armored

Core 6 sometimes.

Why does this game feel like Armored Core

6 when you're playing against automatons?

I'm not even reloaded.

It's really annoying it doesn't just

automatically reload.

Rockets coming. That guy's far away.

That's a difficult shot.

Oh my god. Oh, why didn't he dive?

God damn it. Oh, there's so many of them.

Did

I get them? No, there's more coming.

Quick, quick, quick, do this. Oh my god,

someone's shooting at me. What is

that shielded things? I got 2

in one shot, but the second one didn't

die. I'm out of

railguns. I'm screwed now.

Come on. Oh crap, I can't see it because

Oh my god, where is it? Quick,

I need supply. I can't call anything.

Maybe there's ammo up here.

Come on, ammo! I need my railgun.

Maybe over there. I'm nearly done with

this objective though. I don't see

anyone coming. Oh, come on.

Now what? Oh my God,

come on, mow them down. Oh no,

I can't take that guy out without a

railgun. There's no

ammo. I can't get out of this part.

Oh my god, I'm trapped. I'm trapped.

I can't get over this fence.

You can't melee it. I run around him?

I can't spin him around fast enough.

Oh my god, I'm getting surrounded.

Oh,

so I think I'll drop here.

I don't have my railgun now.

I nearly got that Hulk thing.

Come on, pull the thing. Yes, complete.

Wait, I could get my railgun. Where's my

rail— oh, I can get this guy. Oh, I got

him, I got him! And that guy. Oh, I nearly

got that guy. Oh my God,

I said dive sideways, why did he dive

backwards? I think we just land far away

and then spawn a new railgun when we can.

The next objective is over there. I need

to get rid of that thing.

What are they shooting at? Who is shooting

at something? Are they shooting at the

ships? If we can sneak by these

guys and head to that station—

I don't know if they can see— oh, that guy

nearly saw me. Did he see me? I don't

think he saw me. Keep crawling.

I think they've seen me. I'm not sure

if you crouch, can they see you even if

you're standing right in front of them?

Okay, got my railgun, he's back.

Don't do the random rail thing, random

stratagem. Oh, thank God, get my shield

back. Oh, Oh no, orbital laser wasted.

5 kg, 500 kg wasted.

That is so annoying. I thought the game

was glitched when that first happened. I

thought my teammates were gonna kick me

because I accidentally chucked a 500 kg

Okay, fully loaded railgun and Backpack,

let's go. Okay, so we got to attack this

base next. I don't have any of my— I got a

500 kg bomb. Maybe we'll just use that

first to like soften them up.

Where did that land?

It didn't land, did it? Oh, it didn't

land. It glitched or something.

What? Why is it not landing?

Look, I'm chucking it, it doesn't land.

Oh my god, what is that? Is it because of

the jammer? So I can't chuck it into an

area that's being jammed, but it's so far

That's so stupid. So what do I do?

Take out that rocket guy first, maybe I

can draw them out.

Oh, he just flared a dropship.

Any more big guys? Where's the dropship?

Oh, I thought I could hit it. If I can— I

can't get the 500 kg bomb to stick.

Watch. Oh my god, where'd that guy come

I've kind of funneled them through that

valley, which is strategic.

They're coming at me from 2 sides. No,

that's just the air fire.

Let's just spam grenades at them. Oh,

there's a Hulk Smasher.

Oh, I one-shot it! Oh, what the hell? Why

are they coming from that side too? Oh,

run, run, run! No, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no! Heal, heal, heal!

Maybe I can get them when they come around

the side.

Are they coming? Come on, come closer.

I didn't get any with that. How do they—

oh, now they're coming. I missed them all

with the grenade launch— the grenade as

well.

Come on, queue up to die.

Oh, you can shoot through multiples, I

think, like that. I killed 2.

It gets really tense trying to keep your

railgun loaded. Did I get them all?

There's one left. And make sure your

shotgun's full. I think

I got them all. These are like the crap

enemies on— what's that game? Armored Core

6. There's one more.

Oh my god, oh my god, why did I do that?

I should have just used a railgun. I was

trying to save a bullet. How can I die

from one stupid thing? I've only got one

life left.

And just use a grenade. I think I

missed the grenade. Imagine you lose

another life. Why is it not dying?

I think I've got one life left. Oh.

I shouldn't waste railguns on those

berserker things.

Well, what's shooting a flamethrower?

Reload, reload! Why isn't it reloading?

Oh, I— did I one-shot it? No,

don't get stuck on the rock.

Oh, headshot!

Resupply.

Did I get them all? I think I got them

Come on, resupply. Give me ammo.

Reload this. Okay,

ready to continue my assault on

the— what is— what am I doing? Pump codes,

launch codes.

Okay, so it's a few guys.

Oh, it's a big guy. Oh, he's just called

in another dropship. Oh my god, we'll do

that all over again.

That one guy took my whole clip.

It. What are they dropping? Bunch of

little guys and one big guy.

Reload the railgun.

This guy's gonna get me. Come on, aim for

the eye. Oh, did I get the eye? I got him,

I got him! Damn, I'm doing good with the

headshots on those guys, the big guys.

Do not call in another dropship.

These, these small ones, they shoot those

flares and it's really hard to stop

them. Oh, what's that? Oh my god, where'd

that come from? I think

that was a headshot. Oh.

There's more over there,

more over there.

Did I get

him? What's he shooting at?

Shooting at the fence.

I got them all, I think. I need a

resupply. Oh,

if you're

prone, the rockets won't do that much

damage. The problem is when you get hit by

an explosion, it makes you stand up again.

You go prone again quickly.

Why do they keep coming? Jesus Christ,

where's my resupply?

What do we do here? Find the launch codes.

Got them. Okay, so next we'll go to— this

is going pretty well, got one life left.

I will go all the way back down there to

get to the pump fuel. And I think a bunch

of enemies coming. Quick resupply.

I think we just run.

Where are they?

They're coming from 2 sides. I'm just

gonna run down the middle, I think. Oh,

they're coming up the middle as well. Oh

my god.

Just take this side.

Oh my god, no, no, no, no. Oh,

that was bad. I shouldn't have done that.

If I can land on the other side, ditch all

my gear, and then relaunch

it later, just bypass them and run past

this whole base. I'll just

go around this base.

I've got 1 minute 30 seconds until my next

reinforce. Really don't want to die

because then it's game over. I've got

railgun ready, but it's gonna

accidentally— it might accidentally do my

orbital thing. Oh, you see, I Come

no enemies nearby.

You gotta keep checking the map. Oh, I

just triggered— I just aggroed that base

with the stupid laser. Come on, go, go,

go! They're coming from that. Oh my God,

run! Run, just run.

Don't jump down there. Are they

coming? I think I can outrun them.

We just gotta run all the way down to the

ICBM.

I've got a reinforce coming in 26 seconds.

Should be fine. It looks like it's all

clear.

Is it clear?

I think if I ping the map, it will show up

enemies. I'm not sure.

I'm pretty sure that's what my special

passive does.

What boost did I get? Did I get the UAV

recon? Because that would have helped a

lot with the radar. I think this area is

pretty empty. You can get a bit of a

breather. Damn, it's been hectic. I can't

believe I actually survived so far.

Finished 2 of the objectives. I've got one

more objective to do, then we're done.

Bonus points if I can extract, but I I

don't need to extract to finish the

mission, so this is the last area. Got a

nuke up there in case I need to fall back.

Okay, let's think. Okay, how are we gonna

take on this base? I don't think I'm being

jammed, so I could chuck— I haven't been

able to use any of my orbital strikes

because I kept getting jammed. I might

just wait. I can't use the orbital laser,

unavailable. Because I accidentally

used it a few times calling down my

railgun,

so I don't want to waste the 500 kg

on those little guys.

Uh-oh, they're spotting me. What do we

have over there? It's quite a lot.

I think we just try and— they're gonna

call a dropship though. Maybe I'll

do the 500 kg bombs if I can take them all

out. Oh, it bounced off the rock.

That was not good.

There's a nuke on the mountain too.

Be careful with the rocket guys.

Oh, I accidentally reloaded.

I just really don't want them to call down

a dropship.

Reload.

Why didn't he reload? Why am I

sliding down the mountain? Where is he?

I see you, shielded guy.

Let's make sure you're not being flanked.

Oh, I'm being flanked! Oh, good job I

checked the map just then. Oh my god, oh

my god, it's bad, it's bad.

Oh, this is really bad. What? Come on,

die! No, no, no!

Heal, heal, heal! Reload! Oh,

I keep missing. Gotcha.

Oh my God, that was scary.

What is that?

Do I have anything? I've got a bomb. It's

kind of far away.

I could try by checking the map.

Someone's coming around the corner.

Did he get just— he got shredded by his

own guys. It's a lot of incoming fire.

I'm getting pushed right back.

I might be able to snipe them. I've got

10 shots.

Oh my God, they're coming around the

corner, I think.

Resupply here.

I can't see them. Oh, there's one.

I think I got it. Oh, big guy coming.

He might get hit by his own rockets. Oh,

I got him easy.

More rockets. I mean shields. Oh my god,

where they come from? I can't run up the

hill. Grenades. Oh my god, I'm screwed.

I'm screwed. I'm screwed. I'm screwed.

Do we have one more life? I think I did,

didn't I? Oh, I did. Land far away.

This is so bad, and they spotted me

straight away.

Maybe I'll do the 5 kg bomb.

This is so bad. Come on, keep coming

forwards. I've got nothing.

Oh crap,

keep going, keep going, keep going.

Grenades, grenades.

I really hope there's no one behind me.

There's a whole group coming.

This is bad.

Come on.

How many shots do they take?

There was a rocket guy there. I chucked my

railgun towards him. I've got

one clip from my Uzi.

Oh, that nearly got me. I think an armor

set where you take 50% less damage from

explosives would be better. Those rockets—

and now he's guarding my railgun.

I got 2.

This could be bad.

Shield generator, I could If they're just

gonna stand there, it looks like they've

glitched or something. They're just

standing there.

I got 500 kg bomb. Are they coming around?

4 seconds. Are they coming around? Oh,

there's 2 over there. Are they

Oh, can I do a stealth attack?

How did you see that?

Where'd they go?

Oh, oh my god, there's only 2.

How do they see me? If I

drop I

don't know if that's going to catch them.

Did that get them?

It got one and damaged the other one.

Oh, I got it, I got it! Oh my god.

Now we've got the railgun and my shield

back. Can I get supply? Yes,

20 seconds till my— no, I got reinforce

ready. Things are looking good. Just gotta

get my resupply, reload everything.

I can't believe I survived that.

Okay, now I'll try again on the icy I

got pushed back so far. You know they say

don't attack the patrols? I feel like

you're safer by clearing the patrols

because they're gonna come around and

screw you. So I might just take these guys

out whilst I can.

Otherwise, when I'm in trouble,

they might come around and catch me off

guard. Oh my god, where'd they come from?

Do I have the reinforce? Yeah, I do. Not

that these guys could take me out. The

rocket guy might.

Okay, okay, where's the base? I got pushed

back so far.

Attack on the base. Attempt number 2.

I don't know if there's any of them left.

I think I got them all.

Okay, let's just do this quickly then.

Quick, quick, quick.

Keep the map open.

Do the Terminal, up, down, right, right,

left, left, down. I hate

this one. This one,

and then that one,

and then— are they coming?

One.

2. Where's the third one? Where's the

third? Oh, it's right there.

3. Press up.

Oh, I gotta go to the ICBM.

I thought that was the last one. Okay,

now get out of here because I think

enemies are coming. Just go, go, go.

Enemies coming. I can see them on the map.

Look, too late.

I'll go around this way.

Now I just got to launch the ICBM. Wait,

what's the T-minus 50 seconds thing?

Oh, I've only got 50 seconds to finish the

whole mission. Wait, was that 40 minutes?

I guess I failed it then. So I

ran out of time. Huh.

Well, I guess I failed it. Oh, come on, I

was gonna do that. I could have finished

that. Still got one life, got all my ammo.

So I can't do the 4th objective. I can't

even get there in 20 seconds.

So do I go to extraction or what? I might

as well go back then. I can't even finish

the terminal in 10 seconds, and there's

all those enemies there as well.

Yes, we go to extraction.

I didn't know what that timer count— I've

never seen the timer run out.

So we got 4 minutes to get to the shuttle.

Let's see if I can sneak past these guys.

Oh crap, that's pretty close.

That's very close.

Uh-oh, this is not good.

I think we just die. Whatever.

No, never give up!

Run! Oh my god,

yeah, I lose. I nearly got that. If I had

enough time, I could have done the ICBM,

but I was just taking too much time trying

to take the objectives because there were

so many damn enemies. They kept pushing me

back, calling for dropships. That was
