The SG-451 COOKOUT： Testing the only PUMP ACTION INCENDIARY SHOTGUN in Helldivers 2 (INSANE DAMAGE)

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

today we're going to be testing out the

SG451 Cookout, brand new pump-action

shotgun that fires a burst of incendiary

phosphorus pellets, first of its kind in

the new war bond for Helldivers 2. So

we've got this new war bond called

Freedom's Flame, got a bunch of cool

stuff, and on the first page we've got the

brand new shotgun SG451 Cookout. We're

going to have a look at this gun today,

test it out, and see if it's any good. So

as you may know, it's not actually the

very first fire-based shotgun because you

already had the Breaker Incendiary, which

came out ages ago. But the way that this

differs to the Breaker Incendiary is that

it is pump-action. So along the lines of

the SG Punisher and SG Slugger, it's going

to be single-shot. You pump it and then

fire another shot, and you can reload it

bullet by bullet or cartridge by cartridge

instead of inserting a magazine, which is

how the Breaker series of shotguns works.

So you've got the Breaker and you've got

the Breaker Spray and Prey. So these are

the same class of shotguns, the breaker

shotguns, and then these are the

pump-action shotguns. And this is the very

first pump-action incendiary shotgun. So

we've got 320 damage, 16 capacity,

100 recoil, 80 fire rate. It is light

armor penetrating, and it's incendiary and

rounds reload. And as for the design of

the gun, it basically looks exactly like

the other Sluggers and Punishers, but it's

got like red paint on it. It's got the 2

little circles there with the single

barrel at the bottom, same like all the

other ones. And it's got this kind of

reticle sighting which looks same as the

previous one. Okay, let's test it out. We

also got some cool new armor with this new

war bond. So I've got this armor set which

gives you 75% reduction on fire damage.

Okay, so we just landed. Have a look at

this gun. We've got Single shots.

Well, it shoots out quite a big burst of

flame. I don't know what just hit me. I'm

getting attacked by the mortars, I think.

So yeah, it shoots out like a burst of

fire like that, and then you pump it to

reload for the next shot. And then we've

got aim down sights, so you've got this

nice— I didn't really land on a good

planet to test this gun out whilst being

pelted by mortars. So I keep moving. So

you've got this nice red dot reticle, so

you can do first-person mode like that.

It's pretty cool. And reload it. See if

I can find any enemies to shoot. So you've

got a bunch over here. So it's probably

gonna one-shot these— oh my god, I don't

want to fight that guy. Where's my 500

kg bomb? Sort him out. It's been such a

long time since I played this game. The

range is what you expect from a pump

action. I don't know if that even killed

the Hulk. I forgot what the buttons— oh

yeah, this is how you heal. Okay, so yeah,

it's not very rapid firing because it's

pump action. But you

can shoot things from range like that,

and it sorts them out pretty easily. I

forgot what the grenade— oh, that's

grenade.

Oh my God, that killed me so quickly.

Coming landing again.

Might try it again against Terminids too

in a minute. Come on.

Oh, it's pretty good. Look, it sets things

on fire like that.

Even though they've got shields, they're

catching on fire, as you can see.

Oh, that's pretty nice because you do fire

damage even though they've got shields.

The fire is still getting through the

shields. Although it's struggling to

one-shot the little guys.

Yeah, it's a pretty good weapon against

mobs of automatons, or automatons as

you're supposed to call them.

Still didn't sort out— I might do

autocannon laser

as well. Just get rid of some of these so

I can test out the gun properly.

Put down autocam.

Oh, they got new tanks? The hell's that?

Never seen that before.

Whoa, my God. Okay, let's test out

fighting the Terminids next. Okay,

launching into Terminid mission, see if

this Cookout shotgun is any good. I like

the name Cookout. They should make another

one called the barbecue maker or

something. Kind of makes me hungry.

Let's cook some Terminids then. I like the

sound of it too, it goes boom in a

very satisfying way.

So this is a new map, it's like a swampy—

whoa!

The problem is because it does DoT damage,

fire damage, it will take a while for the

DoT damage to actually start ramping up

compared to a shotgun that just does

upfront burst damage.

But you can also stagger them back. Yeah,

it's a pretty good shotgun. Whoa, what is

that? What are those? I have not

seen those before. Oh my God, what, what

are those?

Are they easy to kill? What are these

weird new enemies?

Yeah, it's pretty good against— I forgot,

were those stalkers? That's what they're

called. God, I'm so out of touch with this

game. It's been months.

Yo, it's a pretty good gun actually.

Apart from when that happens. Okay,

relaunching. Oh, what's those? What are

those? What is those? Good grammar. Oh,

it's just a charger. What grenade do I

have? Impact. Getting swarmed here.

I need some bombs. Bomb him.

Bomb them.

Oh, what?

Look at my torso bouncing around. Okay,

launching back in,

see if it's any good against those. Yeah,

it's pretty good,

pretty good.

I forgot how to— oh yeah.

Look at my trousers, they're all shiny.

I haven't played this game with my new

keyboard yet. It's quite good.

I think this is the first time I played

this game on my big monitor since I came

back from Japan and Thailand, because I

was playing this on my laptop using laptop

screen. I'm still playing it on the

laptop, but this time I'm back home in the

UK and I plugged it into my 32-inch gaming

monitor. It looks really nice,

it's running well

too. This laptop's such a powerhouse,

it's just a tiny 11-inch ASUS

X13 Flow, but it's got an RTX 4050,

Ryzen 7 940HS, so it's pretty beefy

despite it being a small little laptop.

Oh, the fire killed him.

Yeah, it's not a bad little shotgun. I'm

not really a fan of the fire weapons, to

be honest. Oh, it does fire

damage against Charger too. I guess I

could grenade him. Oh, that came out of
