The AR-23A LIBERATOR CARBINE： Testing the only CARBINE weapon in Helldivers 2 (INSANE DAMAGE)

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So the

new patch and update for Helldivers 2 has

just come out today, and we have a new

warbond, the Viper Commandos, and we've

got some new weapons, and we're going to

be testing out the first assault rifle on

the first page of the new warbond. It is

called the AR-23A Liberator

Carbine, and it's a compact version of the

Liberator designed for increased viability

in close quarters. Has an increased fire

rate at the cost of of higher spread. So

basically the only difference between the

Liberator Carbine and the Liberator is

basically the fire rate and the recoil.

It does the same damage, it's got the same

capacity mag, the design of the guns looks

pretty much the same apart from the

Carbine has a much shorter muzzle front

bit, and it has a fire rate of 920 versus

the Liberator of 640. So As the

description says, it shoots at much higher

fire rate and it's got a higher recoil,

so it's going to be spraying all over the

place. Okay, so let's give this weapon a

try. I'm gonna land down here and we

have auto, semi, and burst mode. Gonna go

for auto mode and a bunch of enemies

shooting at me already. Actually, I forgot

what the buttons were because I've been

playing Elden Ring too much. I thought

spacebar was sprint. For some reason in

Elden Ring, spacebar is sprint. I haven't

even shot anything yet and I'm getting

blown to bits. Wait, what was heal? Oh, Q

is heal. In Elden Ring, you press R to

heal. I'm all confused. Anyway, so this

gun shoots like, like that.

It's kind of like an SMG, really rapid

fire, probably more rapid fire than the

SMG. Really hard to aim because the recoil

is pretty crazy. It is basically like an

SMG, but it's an assault rifle,

so I'm guessing it has more power than an

SMG. It's really hard to aim. Look at

this, just goes all over the place.

Stupid recoil. Look at that recoil though.

You really got to drag your mouse down as

it's shooting, otherwise this happens.

Watch. This happens. This just goes all

over the place. I can't even

move. Hold on. Oh my god, where'd they all

come from? Yeah, I didn't stand a chance

there. Maybe we land somewhere where we

don't get swarmed instantly. So like I was

saying, the recoil on this thing is pretty

crazy. Look at that, goes straight up.

I remember one time I went over this guy's

house who I met in Japan. We were playing

PlanetSide 2 together, and he was like

really competitive, and he got mad when I

didn't play very well. And I was shooting

the machine gun, and it was like spraying

all over the place. And then he was like

trying to explain to me that I need to

pull the mouse down to counter the recoil,

as if I don't understand how recoil on

guns in games work, even though I've been

playing video games since I was like 8

years old.

As if I need to be told how recoil works.

What am I doing? I don't even know what

I'm supposed to do now. I'm getting shot

by a freaking gunship. Can't really test

out the gun, can I? So it just sprays all

over the place. I don't know why I'd

choose this over anything else though.

It's kind of boring though, to be honest.

I mean, I spent £5 buying super credits to

unlock the new Warbond, and this is what I

get? A stupid rubbish version of the

Liberator that just does the same thing,

but it shoots bullets out faster. That's

all they could come up with? Are you

kidding me? Seriously think that the

developers of this game, they've

completely run out of ideas. They hype

up the new Warbond, and then you look at

the Warbond page, and it's basically just

a rehashed version of the first gun you

get in the game. Rubbish recoil.

And then the second page is some shotgun,

which I haven't tested out yet.

And then on the third page, the last

weapon you unlock on the third page is a

knife. Are you kidding me? That's all they

could come up with? They've got no more

ideas. A stupid rubbish carbine, stupid

rubbish shotgun, and then a knife.

Wow, so exciting. So glad

I stuck with this game for half a year.

This gun's rubbish. I mean,

for the theme of like Vietnam jungle

commandos, they could have come up with

such better ideas like I don't know,

bamboo Vietnamese Vietnam War inspired

booby trap maybe? Like you lay a booby

trap and then the enemies get caught in it

and get cut into pieces. I don't know,

anything would have been better than this.

I literally can't do anything. Oh wait, I

got a rail cannon.

Where'd it go? It just bounced off a rock

and disappeared, stupid thing. Oh,

there it goes.

Okay, that's one down, but the orbital

laser over there—

I can't even take out one enemy, takes so

many shots. What's that?

I really hate how they've added flying

units. They're so annoying. The game

didn't need flying units.

Yeah, I can't believe how rubbish the new

war bond page is. The weapons are so

boring. At least the previous war bonds

had cool stuff like electricity shotgun or

plasma grenade launcher kind of shotgun.

Really not impressed. This is rubbish. I

mean, look at this.

See what it's like here.

I'm just surrounded anywhere I land. I'm

completely surrounded by a bazillion

My God, how am I still alive?

Oh, I'm not— why

would you ever take this over the

Scorcher, the Plasma Punisher?

I can't— oh my god, it's so bad.

Oh my god, it's The Blitzer shotgun is

so much better than this. The Scorcher is

better than this. Counter Diligence

is better than this. Literally all the

assault rifles are rubbish, and they just

keep adding more and more iterations of

the Liberator, and they're all rubbish.

There's no reason you should ever choose

anything over the Scorcher.

Failed. Oh well. Oh,

thank God, 8 minutes.
