Guide to solo no death level 9 missions.

[antique_nova]

I don't use railguns. (I rarely use them if ever, but I do like them)

I don't use breaker for every game. (No, it isn't the best primary weapon every game.)

I don't take shields every game. (Because it's not optimal)

I don't use liberator. (R-63 Diligence is a million times better)

I would like to use 500kg (Once they fix it, it's 14x less powerful compared to real life, but if they buffed the AOE by at least 3-4, then I'll use it over the railgun any day and every day)

This isn't the only way to play the game.

Do whatever you want. Just try not to die a lot. Lol.

I experimented a ♥♥♥♥ ton and found what works best for me.

You want to bring something different to what I have on my missions?

Feel free. Sometimes I like to ♥♥♥♥ around too and we still win easily. Lol.

To every idiot who says "kick anyone who doesn't spam shield and railgun every game"

Eat my democracy, because you don't know ♥♥♥♥. So shut up and get gud.

But but... my democracy!

Also, I find it funny that the hell bomb is so much more powerful than the 500kg.

[weirdee]

Yeah, you'd think given their identical blast profile, a 500kg bomb would work, but for some reason the hellbomb just has a little extra in it. Must be electrolytes or something. It's what Helldivers crave!

For some extra reason, shooting or otherwise damaging a hellbomb you deployed will cause it to shatter harmlessly, but shooting a sparking hellbomb you find in the environment, even if you don't actually know what it is and are shooting it to find out, will cause it to instantly detonate spectacularly, which I found out on my first mission by being reduced to my component atoms.

I did not know that second part. I'm going to try that the next time I see it!

Also, the 500kg should be atleast 2x hellbomb AOE.

It'll still be 10x weaker and smaller than an actual 500kg, but I'll accept 2x AOE hellbomb.

Shield absorbs the hit.

Most likely, because I had my shields up. But also, because I'm very good at dodging chargers. But I'm surprised I didn't get rag dolled by the 2nd charger I didn't see and ran into.

I still would have survived though. :)

yeah no, the first heavy hit once, the second trampled him. that shield should be gone

Orbital does work on it...if you are willing to waste slot for it.

I dodged most of the first charger's charge, so my shield only took a small hit. Not enough to deplete it.

The second charger did manage to eventually deplete my shield though with a full on charge.

No. That would only invite chaos and that is not democractic.

[weirdee]

Which orbital? The basic orbital strike doesn't do anything to it either.

Bro, great freakin' run on them robots.

I actually did not know you can play HD2 this way, that's amazing lol

[VoiD]

Great run, maybe I should give the dilligence another chance, haven't used since I unlocked the other guns.

Have you tried the scorcher vs bots?

PS: It it just the suit's stealth bonus at work here, or is the dilligence sort of a silent weapon? At least, it doesn't seem to draw too much attention when you fire it imediatelly alerting the entire base.
