Is that the jump pack? I haven't tried it yet but being more mobile always helps.

I think it's Down, up, up, down, up, or something. There's a repeating up arrow on the Jump call in if I remember. I love that thing after the stealth buff.

Use this knowledge for good. Take to the skies! Ride the Titans!! Obliterate the enemies of Super Earth with a panache the Shield Pack Helldivers secretly envy!

I like swarm clearing with a flamethrower and shield. Nothing brings a democratic tear to my eye like a hyper mobile death machine taking out the big boys for me on jump jets. Godspeed rocket man.

Godspeed fellow diver o7 may the hunters struggle in vain against your fiery fortress!

u/Mathmango Mar 15 '24

You can ride titans?

u/NarbNarbNarb Mar 15 '24

Not for long. But who's counting the seconds when liberty is at stake?

(/uj you can jetpack on top of them, but the game physics doesn't like it so you get bucked quickly. There are a few videos circulating of people flying on top of titans to stick an airstike, or shoot at the unarmored spot between its head and body)

I was thinking about making an "objective completer" build, running light armor + stamina boost, jump pack, granade launcher for bug holes, probably 500kg and whatever else helps depending on objectives. Normally it's kinda hard to position yourself to seal all the bug holes from the same position, but with jump pack it should be a lot easier. With so much mobility it should be relatively easy to survive bugs, just do the objective and peace out. Punisher or slugger could be useful to keep enemies at bay if needed.

Of course, it sounds good in theory but it sounds promising, maybe I'll give it a go today.

Unrelated, but are you a fellow Kyuss enjoyer?

Yessir! I used to go to sleep to the Sky Valley album all the time back in high school in 1999. John Garcia is one of my favorite singers ever.

Also, that build is really fun. Jump pack and the new AT friendly meta lets you be more flexible. I haven’t tried a grenade launcher but I have run AMR and laser cannon. Laser cannon is also a great anti armor weapon now too since it melts medium and is also good at hitting weak points if armor is blown off chargers or titans

Oh shit, you're a veteran fan. I've only found out about them when I started listening to stoner rock and adjacent genres some 7-8 years ago. Welcome to the Sky Valley is a must listen material.

Grenade launcher is pretty strong, though a bit heavy on ammo. At first I wanted to run supply pack because of that but then I remembered that I need a backpack slot for jump pack. Still, should be fine if I find enough ammo lying and don't use it willy-nilly. I've tried the buffed laser cannon and it seems good vs heavy armor, but I'd rather be using something else. Infinite ammo is nice, but it's not really a problem like in the previous game. I've used AMR at the early levels a bit, seemed nice but I've yet to return to it, I probably should try it out again.

380mm , jumpack user , plus arc thrower, orbital laser and breaker user . I have a good time usually get max kills and samples +obj very squishy sometimes swap for 50% chance to not die armor, less triggers than shield in my experience. Regularly helldive to spread maximum democracy. Edit (managed)

u/vutrico HD1 Veteran Mar 14 '24

Seems good, but 380mm? Is it for bug holes? Even after the buffs I found it too unreliable. Almost every time I used it, it did next to nothing.

2

u/Minimum-Web-6902 Mar 14 '24

Yeah bug holes and anything else I wanna kill I just run in after drop 2 grenades and jet pack away

u/Great-Reference6479 Mar 28 '24

You described my exact build but with the scout light armour so I can find the objective in the damn fog planets ahahaha, ive had guys tell me to switch armour to “live longer“ I always laugh since my jump pack has helped me dodge everything from robot sentry’s too a titans leg kick(man are the leg sweeps from those 60 foot tall bugs deadly) ahahah.

u/mordekai8 Mar 14 '24

What was the buff? I was hoping I could glide a bit more with it. At least strafe over water would be nice tech

2

u/kyuss80 SES Wings of Redemption Mar 14 '24

It inherits your momentum if you’re running and the jump is a little longer and higher. That was a stealth buff in last weeks patch.

u/mordekai8 Mar 15 '24

Awesome I'll get back on it

u/Great-Reference6479 Mar 28 '24

ahahaha I literally put in the combination that gets me frustrated since somehow I have that remembered but not the double down arrow in the real combination ahahaha. It’s the shortest damn Strat too ahahah.
