Awesome run Creeker! Had no idea you could just Hellbomb the command bunker from outside the walls, gonna use that from now on. That Bot army was pretty scary too, seen it on quite a few maps, apparently the patrols get bugged and pathfind for the centre of the map.
Thank you! There are two base types that make it possible. One with a little rock outside the wall(the one from the video) and one with 2 chimneys( kzhead.info001KlKh37YM ). The bomb itself has to be planted as close to the bunker as possible. And yeah, 50 terminators stacked at one spot look pretty spooky xD
@@Sarge94Nice - I'll have to learn to recognise those base layouts then!
Whats your FOV?
They could Run To you once the Timer Runs out
Patrols spawn when you complete primary objectives or destroy nests/outposts. They then head straight for your position at the time they spawned. If you're gone by the time they get there, and they don't otherwise encounter you, they will then head for the center of the map.
The trees may speak binary, but the wind whispers "Hellbomb armed."
That's a good one
And the air shouts plasma fire onto the hellbomb
Poetic
going to be stealing this one
I bet this is something they said in Vietnam, but vietnamese instead binary, and napalm instead Hellbomb.
You, doing your best not to be seen or heard, entering a bot outpost: ... Your Helldiver: "BOT OUTPOST!!"
Not to mention yelling, "Fire in the hole" to no one but bots. 😂😂
Well,turns out it was his inner voice all along!
To be fair, they do have fully enclosed helmets.
Hehe reminds me of the "rELoAdINg!!!" thing most of not all FPS games of this nature tend to do
@@RagicaltheUnhallowedKnight Before they changed it, you used to be able to bait people with the reload lines in R6 Siege. Funny as fuck when they hear "enemy reloading" and realize you started the reload, then swapped to your secondary.
Who let solid snake play helldivers
Well it does run on the fox engine which is what mgs5 used.
@@TheMasterCheeze it runs on autodesk stingray tho
who could have ever STOPPED Snake from playing Helldivers? XD
@@TheMasterCheeze me when I spread misinformation
@@TheMasterCheeze”what mg5 used” bro it runs off a swedish engine that hasn’t been updated in 5 years and abandoned in 2018
Imagine being a giant and highly advanced surveillance tower of unending death in which your comrades trust their lives on, and the last thing you see is a slightly smarter breed of monkey covered in rags that starts DS1-giant dad emoting you before you simply cease to exists.
This entire sentence is fucking awesome.

Accurate white feather gameplay
I feel like super earth would realistically not like people identifying as their land and not just as human citizen of super earth
@@BisexualPlagueDoctor i doubt countries are even a thing on Super Earth at that point, Super Earth basicly are a big ass country in itself
Surprised that the jump pack can handle the weight of those balls of steel. Well done Helldiver
Balls of titanium!
"Honey, I'm just going out for some samples, should be back in like an hour"
😂
19:20 ngl, having the tower see you and go "come at me bro" while it gets hellbombed is just *chef's kiss*
"F*ck you sally" moment
"Call as many reinforcements as you want, you can't unfuck yourself from this hell bomb"
13:09 lol walker guy DEMOTED, must have had a thought crime
HAHAHA what even happened it made me laugh so hard
the bot must've been thinking democratically and got punished by the automaton overlords
fuckers took my walker, can’t have shit in malevelon creek
Joel gave Sarge a break
Didn't pay his tax return on the walker
Despite being a coop-oriented game, its amazing how they fit a single-player style this well not by adjusting spawns or alerts depending on players but just by incorporating the following logic: -When a gun is shot, they go to alert but not attack unless they see the diver. -You can lose persuers after gaining distance and breaking line of sight Also cool how time plays into all this, for a 4 person squad, you'd basically go guns blazing and spend all the time fighting through hordes of enemies being awarded more reinforcements for the head-on gameplay. While going solo spends time, going carefully, losing enemies, counting targets, picking off targets, at the cost of a safer-strategic playstyle that gives you less revives since you'd plan on avoiding fights anyway.
Yup, this game is literally the definition of a sandbox.
Patrols spawn more often with more players, but that's the only difference.
And apparently they are adding weapon with silencers soon!
@@FreelocybinI think drops and breaches are rougher with more players too. I don't see breaches spawning double or triple bile titan on solo videos
And not only that, look at the extraction, when you play solo, it's normal to end up with little time left when it's over and the aircraft arrives. The difference in not requesting extraction yourself is that hordes of alerted enemies won't come after you; there will still be patrols, but they won't know about you. If you play in a team, you'll surely end up with 10 minutes to spare, which you can either use to explore the map at the risk of surviving, or you can simply wait out that time.
The one Helldiver who lives long enough to become a citizen.
A Super Citizen.
I never even thought of using the jetpack to throw your stratagems further. That is one smart helldiver Good work Sarge
Man sneaks through entire mission with minimal difficulties, calls thr pelican, thrn takes a map on a rock for 4 minutes. Iconic
I think it speaks to how well a stealth style gameplay can go :)
This might be the best Helldivers video on KZhead. It's just so refreshing to see someone solo a max difficulty bot mission, get all the objectives and side activities done, spend zero reinforcements and NOT USE A META LOADOUT. Good work. I'll definitely use this as an inspiration.
Thank you and good luck out there!
This video tells us that the devs had a point when they said "Get good" and "Skill issue". Their weren't wrong
i dont wanna burst your bubble, but he is exactly using the meta for stealth playing on bot planets. But anyways, very good gameplay for sure.
@@penguinhacker yeah, they nerfed a "Skill" weapon and now there are way more powerful and brainless options available. Now even a mid player like me can solo higher levels without real problems. I couldnt do that before. If that was their intention, well, it worked. And im glad. The nerf was stupid anyway and for no reason at all.
@sethael1741 I dont think you understand what meta is when you use it. Thats the *optimal* loadout for stealth. Overall meta in the game is anything BUT stealth and we both know that. Meta is what majority do. Stealth players are a minority. Thats what we call off meta, or breaking the meta.
This is how you get old helldivers. Well done.
Old being 21 🤣
@@TheTrillkagemost helldivers don't make it past 21😂
@@Kiyoshi_Izumidon't make it past 19 you mean :D
@@TheTrillkageIsn’t the average age 18? Meaning there are some below and over 18.
@@Devin7Eleven yes so the old ones wouldn’t even be that much older than 18
so cool that the games sandbox can facilitate this guerilla warfare style of play
Oh you’re in for a surprise once they added the cloaking, bow, and sub sonic silence weapons with attire stealth perks
It's stuff like this that makes this game feel so special. The way enemies react to sounds and such likely wasn't intentional for a stealth play style but ended up working that way is so cool to me
Tbh stealth with bots is pretty easy on Helldive now. If they add extra stealth stuff, it will just be trivial.
@@MotoRide. If they add more stealth based weapons/equipment then they have to refine stealth mechanics
@@rambo-cambo3581 mechanics are there, what's there to refine?
This is what I imagine being a Starcraft ghost is like, just without the cloaking tech that ghosts have lol
having tried microing a fireteam of ghosts this does really feel like that yeah lol
I do reckon they'll add suppressed weapons and active camouflage Maybe even refine the stealth mechanics a bit
@@rambo-cambo3581The CEO has already stated in a video with Drewski that they go based off sight and sound. There is no stealth "Mechanic" per say.
That was a run with one of the "stealth" armors. Decreases detection range by 30% and allows them to drop scan pins on the minimap. It's reasonably easy to use those two features to remain invisible.
@@mawnkeyI didn't stop to think about that armor set. That's a great point. I would like to find out exactly what the stealth system is then.
The trees aren’t speaking Binary anymore, they’re speaking DEMOCRACY.
I love watching solo players like this in action. It so cool seeing very strategic movement and imagining these Helldivers being sent down alone because they are THAT GOOD. Also LOVE the hit-and-run tactics. Everything about this video is so cool to watch!!!!
A single Helldiver surviving a difficult mission is on its own an identifier of a beyond elite soldier
@@BisexualPlagueDoctor damn this hit me hard, i´d like to at least meat a helldiver like this one haha better yet, become one.
@@emersonpalomino6748 you want to 🥩 a Helldiver?
I found the real scout sniper. He crawled on his stomach for miles and evaded most patrols. Excellent shit right here
Level 8 cadet here, absolutely inspiring work soldier. Been redeployed from the Eastern Front, straight to the Creek. Luckily had some experienced divers along with me and we got that inter continental democracy missile launched no issues. Learned a lot about fighting the clankers too.
Lol, clankers Watch out for those wrist rockets! Just like the simulations...
I've seen videos of dudes telling people what loadouts to use, what to do in a stealth style game mode, but none have I seen them actually go into action with no commentary and simply showing HOW they go about doing it. This video is great, and has inspired me to want to try doing a Hell9 dive stealth run again. I wish this game had legitimate silenced weapons for full on spec ops style stealth runs. You made this look effortless.
Even General Brasch is impressed by this, and he’s hard to impress!
Awesome run, Diver. Just a tip for the future, though. You can save your grenades and blow open the storage containers with the Anti-Materiel Rifle.
And the arc thrower and slugger shotgun, if you ever decide to use those.
I need to see an entire squad playing like this some time. I'd love to see how quickly a squad of four could all-clear a map with no deaths playing like this in an organized way.
there is, watch >>" Helldivers 2 - STEALTH/Difficulty 9/Speed Run/No Deaths/Full Clear" cleared under 13 mins
one single time, just one single time in my over 200 hours of playing, did I get a rando match of like-minded individuals who also played like this, avoidant, evasive, etc
FYI: AM rifle is perfectly capable to open containers. Great vid!
conveniently, all bot heads are made entirely of material
so is the Slugger shotgun. most versatile gun in the game. it can snipe, single shot reload which means you can always top it off, can open containers, can remove fences if aimed at the right spot, can one-shot a lot of enemies and penetrate medium armor at the right angle. very under appreciated weapon.
@@shockingboring_ Is the primary he used the slugger?
@@Koningg_scorcher energy weapon i
@@shockingboring_ yeah i mained the Slugger for a long time, even before the Breaker nerf pushed more people to it. Sickle is my go to these days - it doesn't have any of the upsides you mentioned for the Slugger, but it's my new shiny toy and it melts little bots. And no ammo requirement is great
An incredible combination of patience and aggressiveness. I don't think I'll ever be able to play at this level but I learned a lot just watching.
I love the idea of guerilla style operatives sneaking behind enemy lines and sabotaging their supply lines and outposts so the other Helldivers can do head on assualts
That right there is why you're the best Boss. The one and only.
As a freshly recruited Helldiver whos first deployment is a solo missin to the Creek tomorrow i am very grateful to the ministry of truth for providing this instruction guide
Good luck out there helldiver
I call dibs on his liberator after he…. Ummmm…. I mean… Yea buddy welcome to the fold!
@@sncounts what do you mean?
I’m just say’n, a green diver going solo to the creek? Probably safe to guess who’s name will be on the Wall of Fallen Divers.
@@sncounts hey! Watch it, soldier. We Helldivers are Super Earth’s Elite. You will treat your fellow comrades with utmost respect in the name of liberty and prosperity!
There's level 50s and then theres REAL level 50s. This was glorious
(6:45 onward) That jammed sound bug (caused by having the stratagem window open when any stratagem goes from jammed to unjammed) can be fixed by opening and closing the stratagem window while your stratagems are jammed. Figured I'd mention because it annoys the hell out of me when I get it and took me a while to figure out.
These kinds of runs I’d bet will become more commonplace once we get suppressed weapons, like that one suppressed AR that got leaked some time ago. Still - super impressive stuff here!
Thank you! And yes, Truth Whisperer will be a game changer for all stealth enjoyers.
Fingers crossed we get a suppressed DMR
@@roboticjanitor3332 Need me a suppressed, extended mag pistol for headshots.
This a straight up Boba Fett loadout 😂 I like it.
One man army. The Managed Democracy is strong in this one.
I didn't even think stealth was possible on this mission I've never seen anyone ace it so clean and mostly undetected, very well done!
daaamn you are playing stealth so flawlessly that you make look this mission easy, you are very skilled💪🏻❤️
This was such a pleasure to watch, Helldivers Ghost recon style. You've done this flawlessly mate, great job!
With the way I play, never thought it was possible to do a whole mission without dying once. You sir, proved me wrong. It was awesome watching your gameplay.
Cheers man. Thanks for watching!
Single handedly reliberating Malevelon Creek! Managed Democracy forever!
Good to see another stealth player out there, I recently saw the great use of the jump pack lately and have been quite enjoying it with my arc trooper build. Keep at it.
Any tips for someone wanting to pick up the play style? The video is cool and all, but it’s hard to pick apart the actual strats besides “don’t get seen”
@@iamFulky For me I don't go full stealth, but I mostly just barge in destroy and run away. Then again sometimes you can just creep in and one and done it with a cup of liber tea. My usual build was eagle strike, pop one in and you can destroy most of the small to medium one in one swoop if you work the angles. For the bigger bases I'd have my autocannon and laser strike. You pop off the turrets first and then throw the lazer. That almost garantees a full base down in 20 or so seconds. The turrets are easy to shoot down, three shots with the autocannon and voila, with a bit of practice you can get the two tower base ones. The heavy base with hulks is a bit trickier but you can usually laser strike, then eagle the rest. That way you rarely get stuck in combat. The only time you'll need to get your hands dirty is when taking objective, but those tend to go well with just one eagle strike to clear a big hole and just shoot the rest. Autocannon for devastators, walkers and bezerkers while in my case I used the smg on semi to pop accurate headshots one after another. When you get to extraction if you have the trailblazer or any of the 30% less detection range armor you can call the drop ship, then put yourself across the path of the group that will run to the beacon. Put yourself at the edge of the range and just let the timer run. That way you don't need to wait the full mission timer like this video if you're quick enough. So build wise it would be smg, any secondary, and normal nades. Eagle strike, orbital laser, autocannon and for the fourth its up to you. I usually went with autogun sentry for distraction and to break hulks, but you can switch it out with jump pack. Jump packs make stealth extract easy because you can plop yourself on higher terrain and they'll mostly never see you.
@@francois9018 if you go jumpack you'll lose the AC ammo pack though, no?
So the jump pack is just for when you want to extract.You can also replace the autocannon with the anti material, but the auto can help you deal with hulks when they show up and if you have to deal with them. You can also use the timing for drops to just ressuply your autocannon since technically you shouldn't be firing it too much.@@InfiniteStates
@@iamFulky using scout armor let's you move faster and reduce detection. also let's your pins on the map show enemies nearby it. the augment is increased radar range of the player, constantly checking map to know where enemies are helps you both from avoiding patrols but also identify where everyone is when approaching an area so you can dispose of the smaller enemies all at once so they can't call for reinforcement. eventually you'll memorize formations when placing pins on red zones to know what each one is. for weapons and pack is actually irrelevant since what you need depends on preference and dependability. shotguns probably less reliable as range is key to snipe smaller fry or have something for other enemies that will get in your way like the striders in the video. stratgems save time to wipe an area ect and the rest is having game knowledge if enemies and outposts to be mute efficient. hope that helps
Nice work helldiver, can't wait for your next missions 👍
Thank you! Stay tuned, more videos on the way
Those four minutes chilling on that big rock just killed me.
Hell yeah. I've been able to do 8 but not this clean. Those grenade throws are on point.
Behold, the super destroyer. The man who dropped from it was death and hell followed with him. This guy doesn't drop into hell, he brings it.
Easily an instant sub and like. I appreciate the awareness and methodical approach to clearing the outposts and completing the mission. Also big fan of using the jetpack + anti-material rifle combo, the latter sometimes seems to be severely underappreciated by the community.
Couldn't agree more about the Anti material Rifle. I run this thing the exact same way Sarge does. Although I use it more as a sniper than anti armor. The marksman rifles just seem to lack what I would prefer for stealth
Inspiring. This must be some of the video of that trainer from our first day at boot camp during his days hell diving. Clear understanding of the mechanics of the game. Great to watch.
I wanted to see your loadout and as soon as i did i literally laughed and said we're going full Mando for this one.
What armor is that?
@richardkern112 the armor he's using? I believe that's the marksman helmet, helmet doesn't matter btw, and the torso I believe is the first light armor of the BP which gives you a reduced signature and makes it more difficult for enemies to find you. I believe he's also running the boost that says it limits your next enemy encounter or something like that from the newest BP.
@@adarkwind4712 Localization Confusion is the booster, I just didn't recognize the armor
Love this. Watching liberation tick slowly out of 0% and push steadily towards 30% has been wild over the last 7 days.
38:20 the bots became aware of a threat existing but nobody lived to tell the tale, so now they group up 😂 Man you really played like a ghost, epic !
The stealthy solo game play style it is so enjoyable! I love the pressure it builds up. Thank you for showing another playstyle that I didn't know of!
"Patrolling the Creek almost makes you wish for an ion storm."
Great run. This was very enjoyable to watch. At some points I thought you'd be toast but you handled the bots very nicely. A tip though, you can throw grenades through bot factory doors to blow them up as well. For situations like 14:50 to 15:00, you can toss it and just get out of there quicker. Saves a bit of aim since its a bigger opening.
A quick note, while that is true, if a bot walks out of the factory while you throw, the grenade can launch of the bot. So you have to aim at the top edges of the open door, if it's not sure if a bot can spawn.
@@YuumiGamer1243 yea I just toss it and hope for the best haha
Sometimes there is a visual bug, doors appear to be open and while they're glowing like opened, they still play opening animation. It is safer to just toss grenades into vents, though it is possible to destroy fabricators that way
28:16 you were saved by that rock from the tower, a flawless run and a good show of how you don't have to just go in guns blazing for victory
What the actual fuck?! What is your mojo?! You are like silent death, going with wind all over the map 💀Amazing gameplay 😎
Excellent stealth and surprisingly effective used of the jetpack. This is inspiring for me thanks.
One of the coolest things I've ever seen in a video game I absolutely loved it! Makes me want to try it myself (maybe on a lesser difficulty to start off with😅) props to you my dude! Making Helldive look Trivial difficulty.
I love how there are so many play styles in this game. And the variety of equipment and gadgets to go along with. This is such a well made game.
The timestamps are beautiful, thank you for all the work put into this video!! Delighted to see stealth and sniper, exactly what I love to do
So tactical. Full utilization of all equipment. Awesome run, sir!
He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will.
Incredible map pathing with the ping system ! Learned a massive heap from this video thanks!
Absolutely fantastic run, I learned a lot about stealth just from watching this. Can't wait to get home and try this out myself...
The special forces of Helldivers. Good job.
The Helldivers are a special forces unit, we aren’t the main military force, we are merely the offensive frontline He would be an elite unit
@@BisexualPlagueDoctor Black Ops unit.
Inspiring stuff, Diver. Glad you're diving alongside us.
Cheers man. I'll do my part!
Exciting to watch! You got crazy skills. Subbed!
Sole Stealth Sniper play. A mode so self-explanatory, it doesn't need commentary. I stand for solo FREEDOM ✊
Player: time for stealth Helldiver: "HOWD YOU LIKE THE TASTE OF FREEDOM?!?"
The most peaceful extraction I've ever seen
Looked like Easy mode gameplay that's how peaceful it was💀
Awesome! And possibility of absolutely different playstyles in this game is awesome too.
This game could legit be played stealth if silenced weapons were a thing.
damn using the jump pack to yeet stratagems with that accuracy, damn son that's impressive!
I just watched the full video. You’re a damn good player, and I just subbed also. Keep up the great content!!!!
Thank you!
Extremely impressive! I learned a lot just watching this playthrough and you didn't even say a word. Now I have a far better idea how to approach bots thanks to this, its amazing how well stealth can actually work in this game I had no idea. Looking forward to more of your videos you earned a sub and hope your channel takes off!
Cheers! Good luck during your missions Diver!
I don't think "Thumbs Up" quite cut it with the level of skills in this video. What an excellent DIVE!!! Subscription earned
That was one lucky extraction. Awesome run!
Your playing is beautifully smooth
I must say it’s extremely cathartic to watch this after all the rough as hell missions I’ve had against the bots.
Your nades are immaculate The one shots are so satisfying too!
An Honor to have you on our Side, Respect to your Bravery
this game is such a breath of fresh air
Legendary skill on display here. Good work Helldiver!
I learnt more about the game here than any 'tips' or 'tutorial' video available.
satisfying to see runs like this
Very cool and inspiring to watch. You got the ion storm sound bug for half of it though xD I've only got it once so far and the fix for it was to wait for another storm and pull up the stratagems. Sorted it out.
Thank you for that tip!
6:55 seeing you use the jetpack for a little extra distance on the stratagem was impressive and also made me laugh
Dude!! Awesome run . This is the play style I am aiming for. Marksman load out is what I'm running.Good to see that HD2 players can rely on Stealth, and not just run ,ambush,and gun.Everyone has a role in this game ,and this is what I'm aiming for
Such a high octane game also does stealth so well. More people need to use it.
Bro made Helldiver difficulty look like Easy! 🔥
your use of the Jumppack is truly inspiring :D
The legend of the creek. I was only able to this on challenging and it was amazing.
38:30 *sees army of automatons* , walks the other direction. Way to get a day older helldiver, good thinking.
Superb gameplay, well done! 👍
Wow this was great. My loadouts are already gravitating towards this style of play I like it. I'm going to practice this style for sure. Great gameplay! Fly, fight, and Win!
Good luck out there!
@@Sarge94 Thank you Sir! But I dont need luck when me and my troops are dishing out hot DEMOCRACY!!! 😂
(Explosions) Bot patrol: Must have been the wind! CYBERSTAN! CANT KEEP HER DOWN..... What a run!

I was like "alright, let me speed click through this video..." but it was so gripping I watched the WHOLE THING! Glad you made the jet pack viable too.
Awesome. Well done. Now that was totally insane on solo! You won!
not sure if you know this, but you can actually use one shot of your anti-material rifle to pop open point of interest crate stash if you wish to avoid wasting a grenade
