TOP 3 BEST SUPPORT WEAPON STRATAGEMS IN HELLDIVERS 2

Today we're going to be looking at the

best support weapon stratagems in

Helldivers 2. So as you can see, we have

9, a total of 9 support weapons in this

game. So you've got quite a big selection

of weapons, which is cool. We've got the

machine gun, anti-material rifles,

stalwart, expendable anti-tank,

recoilless rifle, flamethrower,

autocannon, railgun, and the spear. We're

going to go through each one and I'll tell

you which ones suck and which ones are the

best. So starting off with the machine

gun, I would rate it a 6.2 out of 10.

It's a pretty good gun, it's got a very

big clip and does lots of damage. The

problem is you have to reload it, and when

you reload it, you can't move. You take a

knee, you kneel down, start to reload it.

It takes a very long time and you're very

vulnerable whilst you're reloading it,

but it does loads of damage. As you can

see, just mows everything down, so it's

pretty good, not bad. Anti-material rifle,

one of my favorites. I'd give this

probably an 8.2 out out of 10. You can

basically one-shot nearly everything with

a headshot, and some of the bigger enemies

go down with just a few shots. Some people

say the Railgun is good for sniping and

one-shotting stuff, but I don't like the

Railgun. It takes a long time to charge up

a bolt, and I just— I feel like the

Anti-Material Rifle is the superior sniper

rifle. If you want to do Stalker kind of

solo play, the sniper rifle— I mean, the

Anti-Material Rifle is a great sniper

rifle. To pick things off at a distance

and kind of do cleanup stuff if you want

to like stay at a safe distance from the

enemy. So moving on to the Stalwart, it's

basically the same as the machine gun,

but you can reload it whilst moving, so

that's good. But it does a lot less

damage— it does slightly less damage,

maybe not a lot less damage. It does less

damage than the machine gun, but you can

reload it whilst moving, so it's much

easier to handle. Uh, the Expendable

Anti-Tank Missile is pretty good, but the

problem is you use it once and it's

finished. That's why it's called

expendable. So you call it down and you

get 2. The problem is you can only carry

1. So if you're thinking, I'll call it

down at the beginning of the game so I

could get it ready, you can only carry 1.

So maybe your teammates can carry the

second one It's kind of annoying, you can

only carry one, and then you use it, and

then you've lost it. But you can't go

back— I mean, you could go back to where

you dropped it and pick up the second one,

but it's kind of annoying. It's pretty

good, very powerful, but I recommend the

Recoilless Rifle. I think this is much

better as a missile launcher, mainly

because you can reload it. It comes with a

backpack. The backpack holds about 5 or 6

rockets, so you can use it 5 or 6 times as

long as you have the backpack. The problem

is, if you've got the ammunition backpack,

you can't take something else like a

jetpack or the energy shield backpack

or the drone backpack. You're kind of

stuck with the ammunition backpack,

otherwise you only get one shot. But I do

think it's one of my favorite missile

launchers. I definitely choose this over

the expendable anti-tank just because of—

it has, it has anti-armor piercing

abilities, can destroy stuff. Like this

Armored Crusher just gets destroyed in one

shot. So why would you choose the

Expendable Anti-Tank over this when this

has multiple charges? I don't understand,

unless you don't want to lose your

backpack slot. So next, the Flamethrower.

Pretty self-explanatory, shoots fire.

It's okay for taking out small things,

but for taking out bigger things, it's not

that great. Although it does penetrate the

armor and use heat damage, it doesn't do

loads of damage and it takes a very long

time. You gotta do a lot of burning to

actually destroy anything, so it's not

very good, and you have to recharge it

quite often even though it doesn't do

amazing damage. Next we have the

autocannon. This is also pretty good.

It's kind of like the recoilless rifle but

not as powerful, but it's faster to fire.

It doesn't need to be reloaded every shot.

It has a magazine, so then you just reload

the magazines. It's pretty good for

damage. You can take out the armored

things pretty well. Yeah, I think it's a

pretty good weapon, and it's got a

backpack, ammunition backpack, but it also

has one clip of magazine. So if you don't

want the backpack, you can have one clip

and shoot like 6 rounds. So if you want to

carry a jump pack and also use this, you

can and still have 6 rounds, or just take

the ammunition backpack and you get loads

of rounds. So it's pretty good. The

railgun, I don't really like the railgun.

It's got 2 modes: safe mode, unsafe mode.

Safe mode charges up to 50%. Unsafe mode

keeps charging up to 100%. Problem is you

accidentally kill yourself like that if it

overcharges. I've had troubles trying to

use it on unsafe mode without killing

myself. Even when it charges up to like

80% and then you release it, uh, you end

up killing yourself. And then finally, as

for this spear, I don't actually know

because I've never used it before. Uh,

maybe I'll use it now and see what it's

like. To be honest, I don't really like

using the support weapons because they

take such a long time for the cooldown to

finish. Look at this. So for example,

480 seconds. Most of them,

yeah, I think they're all 480 seconds.

Expendable Anti-Tank only has 70-second

cooldown, so it's pretty good, but that's

like 5 minutes and you die.

And then you lose it unless you run all

the way back. Maybe I'll try out the

flamethrower. I'll show you some of them

since we've got some time left over. I'll

show you the anti-tank and recoilless

rifle. The other annoying thing about

calling down support weapons, it takes

such a damn long time. It takes like 10

seconds. Watch this. Hopefully I don't

land in the middle of a load of enemies.

Spear. So this one takes 8 seconds.

See if it's any good.

Anti-tank.

So this is the spear. I don't think it's

very good. How many rounds you get? You

get 1 magazine. Oh my God, Jesus Christ.

It just came out of freaking nowhere, not

even a warning. I hate these things. And

now I've lost the spear,

and it will take— oh

my god, 7 minutes until I can call down

another one. And I'm kind of screwed now

because I didn't choose any airstrikes or

anything to kill these guys with. Just got

grenades. Oh, the impact grenade's pretty

good. It just blows up straight

away, as the name implies.

What? So I want to use

it on this guy, but I'm kind of screwed up

here. I'm thinking I can go down and

grab it. Oh no, no, no, maybe not.

It's not going very well, is it?

Maybe I'll land there again.

I'm just getting swarmed now.

Oh, we got some teammates joining now.

I really like the impact grenades,

so if I can just jump down there Where

are my teammates? Did they join

or what? Yeah, so we're kind of screwed,

aren't we?

I could try the anti-tank missile launcher

if I chuck it over there.

Nah, I'd just get killed straight away.

Where is it? Get out of the way!

Oh, it's there. I can't get to it.

Oh well,
