Helldivers 2 – The ＂Automaton MELTER＂ SPEAR Loadout Melts Automatons (group, Helldive Difficulty)

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

today I want to show you my spear loadout

for fighting automatons on Helldive

difficulty. Now this loadout works best

when you're doing missions where you got

to clear out the fabricators because of

this single reason. Just watch this.

So from a massive distance you can

actually target the fabricators without

even going up to them and having to

engage. You see, 1 out of 6 fabricators

destroyed. So easy to do these missions

with the spear. It really is a great

loadout. For some reason, sometimes you

can't lock onto them if they're too close,

but there you go, got lock on there.

That's 2 out of 6. You can probably do

solo deathless because it's so easy to

take out these fabricators. The spear

distance has a massive range. That really

does blow everything away. So fabricator

there. The only tricky bit is getting a

lock on. For some reason it won't lock on

at certain ranges, like now for example.

You can lock onto this dropship if you

wanted to. Just do a 500 kg bomb over

there. I think that got the fabricator.

No, I missed the fabricator.

For the dropships— I mean

the gunships— it works pretty well against

them as well. Using just one shot, you can

take them out of the sky and

then reload. This really is a great weapon

against automatons.

Watch this, I think I can take out the

tank. Oh, I just one-shot the tank with

the spear! You see how good the spear is?

It just destroys and melts robots

so easily. See if there's a bigger—

oh my god, where'd they come from? I swear

that they just appear out of nowhere. Oh,

watch this, watch, watch, watch. For some

reason it won't lock on. I don't know why

it doesn't lock on randomly sometimes. Am

I too close or what? Oh my god, the

Strider. I'm gonna take out the top

turret. Oh, I got the top turret. This

thing is insane,

but you can't really do much else apart

from— oh, come on, lock on.

Oh my god, oh my god.

Oh, I got lock-on! Oh, I think I just— ah,

I got a good hit on its head. I can't

reload here, I can't even move. Okay,

dropping into another mission to destroy

dropships. There's one gunship here.

And the spear is one of the best weapons

to take out these gunship things. It's

basically a surface-to-air missile

launcher with lock-on capabilities. So

with the gunships, I think I can actually

take them out with the spear. I've never

tried it before, but I'm pretty sure I

should be able to. Just need to get around

this massive base somehow. Well, if I just

chuck Oh, I didn't bring the

500 kg bomb. I just got a rail cannon.

Don't even know what that destroyed, but

it destroyed something.

So if I sneak around this base, I can't

target that turret.

It's kind of a sneaky build as well

because you can just rocket snipe things

from a distance using the lock-on.

Okay, so what I'm trying to do is edge my

way towards the gunship base. It's very

heavily defended, so trying not to get

surrounded here. They've got quite a lot

of heavy defenses over here.

Use the Senator Pistol on

this guy.

Whoops. Okay, got another destroy dropship

thing. I don't think I can target it

with the spear actually. It's just like a

static object.

No, I don't think I can.

Oh, someone else killed it anyway. Oh

well, well, that is how you do easy clear

of Automaton missions.

Now we just head to the extraction.

I also like this Senator pistol because it

one-shots a lot of the enemies and it has

medium armor penetration. Oh look, a tank!

Oh, I got the tank! One shot.

Now these Devastators wreck me a lot.

They just do so much damage. Oh my god.

If you get caught in the open, they're

spraying at you. Get up! Oh my god,

idiot.

Oh, headshot with the Senator, pretty

good. Reload the Spear,

go in again with the Senator.

Oh, headshot! See how good the Senator is

if you get a good headshot?

Use some fire grenades, get back behind

the rock. Oh, he just got me. Hate those

Devastators. Just reloading a new

spear. Oh my god, getting blown up

already. Grab the spear, heal, heal, and

get out of there. I'm gonna die. Oh my

god, there's just so many.

Oh, I'm getting shot by a drop gunship

thing. Take that out.

Reload. Are they coming around the

mountain? Where am I

supposed to go? Oh, the extraction point.

There's another thingamajig.

At least I've got the spear. I think

there's one more up there. Oh my god.

Oh, I set myself on fire. Oh, I survived.

Oh my god,

come on, lock on.

Oh my god, there's one up there.

Sometimes it just won't lock on. So

annoying. Look,

see, it just wouldn't lock on.

Extraction is available.
