▶ SOLO Helldiver vs Automatons on MAX Difficulty (100% Complete)
FOR SUPER EARTH! ✊
GREY ZONE TOMO! GREY ZONES COMING! na it was cool seeing you over there haha. FOR DEMOCRACY
After seeing Aculite doing solo in max difficulty in other map area, I'm curious how you'll manage to do this one yourself >:3
LETS FKIN GO!
FOR DEMOCRACY
FOR FREEDOM
I appreciate the commentary and explanation you provide throughout the video. Lots of good info that isn't obvious to a player that's still working their way up to Helldiver difficulty.
Glad you found it helpful! I had to learn the hard way 😂
Tom's commentary is superb!!Can't imagine how hard it is to keep talking (let alone coherently) while under this much stress!!
This is seriously helping me learn so much about this game. Thank you! @@Tomographic
I am with you! The robots were giving me PTSD lol. But i feel more confident after watching this, Autocannon and that armor looks like a must.
Right side of history
This is the best display of skill ive seen in Helldivers 2. I havent seen anyone go for every objective, outpost AND extract. This was like an action movie. And as a fellow autocannon for automatons guy, I am infinitely proud. GG.
Ah, thanks dude. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Check out takibo. He does solo helldives all the time and makes it look easy.
If you wanna see a diver with different loadouts soloing 9s check out Claysthetics or Spiked.
@@nicholasbarmore4640 already watched all his content lol. He is the terminid king.
@@mack-attack-420 spiked has some really good ones too
Master of the Creek. Would be cool if the game had special titles like that
Would be really cool, something like "finishing one campaign (one group of missions) on helldive difficulty on planet XYZ" gives you the title "XYZ Veteran" or "Master of XYZ"
Creek crawler
@@jotairpontesoperations?
@@MasqueradeGoblin Yeah, I think that's the correct name.
Ghost of Creek
Damn I sort of felt caught when you went mid video "If you've not left a like already, what is it, do you hate me?!" up to this point I did forget. Smashed the like like button like my drop pod into Malevelon Creek, for freedom and allat!
Thanks for doing your part 😂
Lol same
This got my like vote too, mid vid, like he's watching me watching him. 😂👍
I have never liked a video after bring told to in my life, until this video I did it for liberty
@@poochstyle my man 🫡
After spending the majority of my 90+ hours on the creek i cannot thank you enough for this video, still learned several neat little things and after feeling the fun being drained out of the game for me this reignited it. You exactly showed how you should play against the bots on the creek. Hit and run guerilla warfare. Your point on 30:24 is probably one of the most important gameplay tips overall. You perfectly showcase how this game can be played without overwhelming frustration by acting level headed, adapting your tactics on the fly, repositioning and one of the most critical ones of all: picking your fights. No shame in running away and re-engage from a more favorable postion. Sadly so many players cant or wont really adapt to the different kind of strategic gameplay thats required when fighting against the automatons and go in these missions expecting to engage everything the same way you could against the bugs. And imo, if you have the general groove down how to fight in the creek nothing comes close to the satisfaction when your team is able to play like a godamn delta force blackops squad doing surgical strikes and vanishing in the jungles when you are dropping down to robonam in HD2. This video should be required watching before fighting the robots.
I appreciate that. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and found some of the tips useful! You're absolutely right and being able to reset the fight instead of playing HD2 like every other horde shooter is so important when things go the wrong way. It gives you the opportunity to learn from your mistakes and try a different approach, which adds a level of neucance and a skill curve I didn't know existed until the late game. There is so much more depth to this game than people realise!
@@Tomographic Exactly, you have think outside of the box, especially against the automatons. Many people dont even look at the smoke screen as one example and go "hey this could be a lifesaver if things get too out of control" The bugs are fairly predictable for the most part but the game feels vastly different against the bots. It really is a game thats easy to learn but hard to master and i can be so satisfying to overcome the odds highly stacked against your favor. Most of the players, me included, still have much to learn when it comes playing this game tactically. As the saying goes "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee" . Again, highly appreciated, made me activly want to go into the jungles of robonam and improve my game. Would never have thought that something as simple as this would re-ignite the spark in this capacity. Thanks from someone that grew up playing games on the c64,atari and nes!
Agreed but nothing will make me feel good about patrols not only spawning in my escape route but also right on top of me. The only adapting that needs to happen is going back to the old spawning system where patrols had a longer minimum spawning distance
"no shame in running away" yeah and the devs have no shame in limiting mobility while simultaneously giving enemies 2x speed and nerfing the weapons needed to deal with them
Skill issue. Definitely. @@LeventhaShiborga
The smoke was jammed because of the Anti-Air facility that was in the area, it jams all Eagle strikes until you take it out, since the Eagle jets can't fly in with the AA in place or they would get shot down.
Cool
Watching you play and seeing you enjoy it so much made me wanna play it so badly that I bought a PS5 to play, then convinced my two friends to buy one as well so we could have our own group mental breakdowns in the effort to spread democracy across the galaxy. It's been hella fun so far. Your content is always mad enjoyable and I try to never miss a new video. Keep it up, bud!
Legend. Thanks for watching man, I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
I’m going to buy one when I can afford one just to get helldivees 2 lol the fomo is real it looks fucking awesome
41:20 "May your extraction be SWEE-"
Lmao yeah what was that xd
Far underrated in my opinion Tom! Been watching you for quite some time and really love your content and your style of humor! Cheers to you and hope you have a great week my friend
Thanks brother!
I feel like this video in particular could be the most accurate representation of how much games have really progressed in absolutely all areas.... I used the game when I was younger ...now I just watch clips like this, filling that curiosity and getting to experience at least secondhand what gaming is really about, the agency that you can experience and the level of immersion... In the context of what I've just said I also want to highlight how far we've come the incremental improvements in games over the years if we were to look back to say Doom or Wolfenstein... The first Call of duty... And medal of Honor... For example. The difference is absolutely staggering, definitely gives some perspective and makes you appreciate how far gaming has come , particularly this game! When factoring in the resources required, it completely dwarfs some of larger studios capital they put into titles.. ... It's going to be so interesting, in the next 10 years for example chat GPT5 coming out the possibilities for coding and AI in some of the enemies for e.g. It's going to be even more crazy and progression in all aspects of game creation and user experiences. it's going to be orders of magnitude faster and better than any of us can really grasp... We really live in incredible times...
Continuing this existential take, it's rather terrifying. With the possibilities permitted by ai games won't just be games but alternative realities for us to live in
The fact that this game doesnt have stealth mechanics and just uses logic to detect and track you is amazing. It is brilliant that they do not immediately knnow where you are when u fire, just like in a real warzone most of the time
it does tho. If it didn't have stealth mechanics, everyone would always know exactly where you are and what you're doing.
I think the fact that there is a detection speed in the game though as he says his armor reduces the detection speed (30%), seems like a stealth mechanic to me. Melee attacks also have very little sound as I saw one guy test. I think there was also a leak that they were adding a suppressed gun as well but I’m not 100% sure about that that. Obviously it’s not stealth like ghost recon or splinter cell but I think it’s easy to argue that there are stealth mechanics in this game.
Hell yeah! That was so fun to watch. I'm only a level 10 and still blowing myself up, but love seeing how nuanced this game is. With the right approach and perseverance comes victory. That map was undulating with plenty of foliage. When you worked that cover with the light armor risk v reward of scanning....GG
I also discovered how effective the Autocannon is against the bots! VERY nicely done! Love and appreciate the commentary! Thank you! I like your loadout, but personally I went for the Eagle Airstrike + Rocket Pods instead of the Laser / Smoke - helps me destroy those objectives VERY quickly. 👍 OH, ALSO: If you throw your Orbital Railcannon strike at the bot drop location BEFORE they drop, the Railcannon will focus the dropship, one-shotting it and killing everything on the ship. 👌
Autocannon used to be able to take out dropship engines, which makes them crash and kills their load. Not sure if they still do tho.
@@Vel0cir Yes they are killable, but in my experience, I've never managed to do it (unless I had a help or it was an orbital salvo as mentioned by OP).
@@Vel0cir A single Expendable AT shot at the engines will destroy a dropship. And with one of the more recent patches, those units will be destroyed when the dropship falls also. Before you would only sometimes be able to trap the units underneath, now they get destroyed properly if you shoot it down early enough. I haven't had much success with shooting the engines out with the autocannon. I think you need to be at the perfect angle for that.
7:03 you were *this* close to meeting God with that rocket lmao BTW for rogue research stations, you just need to destroy the one with a radar dish. If you throw the laser next to that, it should aim for it first. Hope this helps! Edit: Spelling
not to be the guy , but Tomo already knows that. he just wanted to clear the enemy around using the laser as well.
I like 500kg'ing it
This man is out here soloing through hell and back , pats the dust off and sips his cold coffee and jumps straight back in there for Super-Earth. I salute you good man.
The great thing about watching a great player, is u learn lots of tips and tricks that the "tips and tricks" videos are never able to cover. Very nice gameplay!
I also like how his instinct is usually just right. He takes cover then throws grenades at that small bot firing platoon standing in the lake. Two grenades cleared the most of them out. Any other tactical approach would take much longer and perhaps wouldn't end as well.
Liber Tea should be a literal merch drop from this company in the form of a nice box of tea mugs and other tea items (strainers and whatnot). would be funny if nothing else and since i drink tea might actually be something i'd buy for the meme of it
Don't worry. There were already fake Helldivers games on Steam. When there is a huge financial success, there is always a large secondary economy trying to divest from the monetary hype. Those mugs are produced somewhere in Asia and Eastern Europe as we speak.
Could be an Etsy project
They do sell mugs and other merch
I think it's already a hard tea, I see a plane every now and then flying a banner
Well played Sir! As a solo player who just about manages level 4 I am truly amazed by your skills! Have learned a ton of stuff from you as well, looking forward to seeing what this new patch is like vs you!
Your videos have helped me a lot. I was struggling to do difficulty 5. Now its generally a breeze. Thank you for your vids man. I appreciate it.
Now that was intense! Well done! I've thoroughly enjoyed watched you and the others from the FAST squad since the inception of this game but didn't know if you would be interested in playing solo. I've seen 1 other clear the map solo on this planet, who made it look easy. (pre-balance patch) You worked your ass off to do this, making victory all that much sweeter. I salute you Helldiver.
Woooo that was intense Tom! That trek to the extract had my blood pumping lol and that resupply was clutch.
That was well done helldiver! Cleanest solo I've seen, plus while giving active commentary! You're a service to DEMOCRACY, and an inspiration to every cadet out there
Dude, that was so good. The commentary was top notch along with the fight encounters. I was literally at the edge of my seat the whole time and finally when you extracted i couldnt stop shouting "For Democracy". GG
I'm loving this game! I gotta say watching you teaches me a lot of tips and tricks! Sometimes you just do things I've never thought about doing lol.
Neat trick I learned recently about impact gernades. You can destroy fabricators with them when that front door opens, right before it pumps out more bots. A lot easier than trying to arc the perfect angle for those chutes.
He mentions it, however it's very finicky. Sometimes you really don't want to stick around and sometimes the nade bounces off the bots coming out from the fab. If you have ample time, then there's nothing wrong with it, saves you some grenades, because usually you miss with the first impact.
I don't think I'd have the patience for this. Going off of your reference, Cpt. Price would be asking me: "Are you daft?!", every few minutes lol. Great video! Educational and fun.
That was friggin nuts was stressed just watching that 😂 Fairplay Tom love the content mate 👍
Auto Cannon is incredible. Keep spreading the AC love, TOMO!
I’m subscribing for this. You are a mad man, the all mighty Creek and launching an ICBM on solo…
Thanks man! 🥰
Same here. Subscribed after this crazy walk through jungles of Creek❤❤
@@TomographicDang, I didn’t think you would respond…keep up the great editing/gameplay!
I played Malevelon Creek ONCE and we had to stay on a rock to not die immediately, Everywhere around that rock was robots and tanks. We somehow got out with one person alive. Great job dude
Bloody hell, I love that mission starting music. Listening to it as you watch your pods drop in never gets old.
i’ve never been so inspired to take on the automatons solo! amazing gameplay and commentary :D
Very congratz dude, you're a true helldiver ! Ever since patch it's been insane on anything 7+ difficulty wise You taught me a lot of things without even saying them (sometimes) with this match Thank you so much and let's spread managed democracy ! We got an order to complete XD
They just wanted to get rid of the breaker+railgun meta it seems (rightfully so). I expect they'll silently buff both of them a little bit. All in all it's very playable if you find the right combo. The update just needed some time for things to settle down and, as always, getting used to. I was pissed as well, it's in our blood :)
Man, seeing you play like this just reminded me of rambo movies ahahah. Great video as always!
Randomly got recommended this video.. And honestly, respect dude. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole video, I've also been enlightened to the power of the Autocannon. You earned this sub.
14:10 at this point I’d probably be cursing around and insulting his entire familytree
Relatable 😂homies be like their robots dog who you talkin to and I’m just like shut the FUCK UP!!😂😂
bro thank you for your contents it makes my fun for the day
You are the king of Helldiver the goat, you earned my subscription, thank you for sharing and explaining all this vital information.
That was a well earned like and subscribe. My heart was racing throughout! Incredible run.
when everybody is playing as a soldier you play like an special force agent
*Hell yeah brother!* *Such an insane run, well done* *May the Democracy rule forever!*
I happened upon this video by accident but stayed and watched it all the way through thoroughly enjoying it. Great work mate, going to subscribe and watch more awesome vids from you. Keep up the good work 😊💪
Appreciate that 🥰
First vid I’ve seen of yours mate, excellent stuff! Well deserved like and sub for that hard work! The automatons are quite fickle . . . I saw a tank recently on a medium mission? With very few means (or knowledge of how) to destroy it!
Fkin hell Tomo. You had MY heartrate up just watching this
12:09 this sequence is straight out of every action movie ever, absolutely love it
I have now seen this video to its fullest a few times. A great watch and i have learned so much. Thank you sir.
“…if you’ve not left a like yet…” I feel called out but I definitely liked 🤣 well done brother. Watching you deliver peace so effectively is cathartic.
That was absolutely outstanding. Also thank you so much for the amazing commentary, it's giving me so much valuable information as well as being entertaining!
Ok, fine, I don't hate you, here's a like, now let's see another 10 hulks drop before the mission ends.
Cheers, Tomo! Thanks for the vids 🍻
This viddeo makes me think of Ghost Recon Breakoint and everything I love about that game. This video FINALLY reveals how you are actually supposed to play the game. I learned a lot from this video. Great upload.👍
Glad you enjoyed it and found some of the tips helpful!
You make it look easy lol. I fought the automatons for the first time yesterday, and it was a lot of fun. It's definitely hectic. I was playing on Easy (I'm still new and only level 6). At one point, I nailed a bot drop ship with two missiles from the mech and it blew up (I think, I could be wrong)
Yes you can blow it up, it is very desirable if you managed to kill a drop ship, especially in later difficulties, where there are 3-4 of them, each carrying a division of death.
You are insane! Great job!!! I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time.
The amount of strategy was beautiful to watch 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Those rocket devastators are especially……devastating…. 😂 I love your content man keep it coming. I’m loving this game as well. My favorite game I’ve played in the last few years tbh. Tons of fun.
Frankly speaking the commentary is precisely just about right and kept me watching for longer time. Loved the video.
Why is he runnjng so fast? My guy never runs this fast even with light armor
It’s prob cuz of his fov which makes it look he’s running faster
the video is speeded up
@@theshreyansjain It is definitely not sped up. There’s a timer on the video…
It’s because the armor he is wearing and the booster
Because all PC players are hackers.
This is what peak patriotism looks like...
Love how you didn't let yourself relax before you were on the dropship- great work helldiver- outstanding patriotism
I didn't know this game had this much strategy. Me and my friends have just been running around blowing shit up and getting surrounded. You actually seem like you're in control. You sneak in (which is honestly surprising because this game didn't come off as one with stealth), stay out of line if sight (i didn't know event awareness was technical, i figured one you blew shit up they just knew where you were), use specific weapons for enemies, and prevent them from reinforcing (which i also didn't know you could do). Like for real i thought this game was a mindless shooter where the most strategy employed was making sure you had your stategems when you needed them most, you've proven that there are actually different approaches to the game.
I learnt so much about how to fight automatons from this video. Thank you!
Absolutely loved this video you just got yourself a new subscriber! Great work helldiver! One question what loadout are you running for your shotgun I love running the shotgun it’s just so darn good and as hicks once said “I like to keep this for close encounters”
Holy wow!!! That is absolutely outstanding 👏 👌 well done sir! This is now squarely in my personal goals
Pro tip... Enemies have reduced vision on the hellpod drop, but see all other drops just fine. So calling in a support drop near a patrol will cause them to come to your location to investigate. Love these mechanics!!!
I believe only the first Helldiver drop is "for free" (i.e. they are oblivious to it). The devs said this was done to be more fair to the players in a video from OperatorDrewski. But people usually start dropping their supports and this is what aggravates the bots and makes for a hectic start.
Helldivers brought back the love and joy for gaming for me. This game and its community is soo fucking good! And hearing that Helldivers 1 was supported for over 9 years makes me really excited for the future of this game! BTW big balls for doing SOLO on this difficulty.
Oh you really love this game Tom from that drop scene I can tell thank you fur your work and enjoyment in this game please please fight for super earth more in the future
I'm new with this game, but I'm learning so much with your commentary and explanation. Subscribing!!!!
as someone who has been stuck at Difficulty 6 for literal weeks, watching this has made me re-evaluate which strategems and tools to bring, excellent job
I’m a very new helldiver, however I must say I commend your skill! I’m level 8 and playing as a duo, we can defeat terminid missions on challenging difficulty at this point (all bases cleared and objectives complete, however we have never collected all samples) fairly consistently. We’re really struggling with automatons however even on the difficulty lower we can complete and evac but can’t get nearly the same level of completion, I think we’ve been treating it the same as terminids trying to kite them and I’ve never thought of employing the type of guerilla warfare tactics that you’ve demonstrated! I’m really excited to try this approach! Thank you, patriot! With your help I hope to spread managed democracy in a much more efficient manner! (Where hopefully I die a lot less…)
I'm over here thinking I'm a badass for taking down 2 objectives on trivial without dying and you're out here taking down a whole army like it's a nice stroll on a summer afternoon. I'll probably never get to your level
Lets go Tomo!! Love all the content man!
fantastic job Tom, kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time
That was VERY impressive! Hat comes off for you my friend! 👍👍
Good shit man that was pure elation I heard in that yes! In that drop ship.
Dude, i didn't know you could use the smg over your shoulder like that! Awesome video, and i picked up some tips from it as well. Cheers!
Glad I could help!
God damn this is a good game. What else universally created that relief/amazement upon completion of mission. Only thing close was Dark Souls 1 and 3 / Bloodborne year one before so the walk throughs and exploits. I think this is even more intense. High praise.
Am I the only one holding the WSAD key ready trough the video? 🤣 OP Great Video! Thank you. Canon is a game changer is see. And Shotgun also. LIKE!
This is RIVETING. The amount of panic on my screen does not match your calm demeanor. And the turn back to watch the nuke go off was the chefs kiss.
Wow dude, great job! That is amazing!
That was insane! Good job man
Well done. Earned a sub.
Super video!! Keep it up man.
I often have to tell the group to disengage because if a fight takes too long more patrols will show up and the reinforcement calls (drop ships/bug breaches) will come off cooldown. Doing a "dog leg" maneuver like you showed where you basically turn 90 degrees and run for a bit, then turn 90 degrees to reengage from a different angle/bypass the pursuit can save a LOT of time and reinforcement.
What a beautiful run, absolutely beautiful. You're the GOAT!
Great content, I actually thought you wouldn't make it but damn you did. One tip, at 35:00 you later left one fabricator alive and re-armed your Eagle Smoke. Eagle Smoke can destroy fabricators if the smoke shell lands on the buildings, so you could've used the last Eagle Smoke on that instead of re-arming.
Oh, nice tip! Thanks!
Insane gameplay, you crushed those bots! Can't imagine how long it took lol I learned some tips just from watching you play so thanks!
I've got 84 hours into the game thus far and you've shown me new strategies and insights. Great work. Subb'd
I dont plan to to try helldives soon but your narrations are really helpful. Your're like Orcbolg in Goblin slayer but an automaton slayer with all your knowledge.
Tf lol
thank you for this video because i actually can see now the mistakes i made when i solo play ! congrats on your run
Your a madman, lol!!! Helldivers content is really entertaining to watch for me personally
It is! I'm always saying this, sometimes I'm after the experience of going through it but don't have the nerves/reflexes to actually do it on my own. It's a different sort of experience, this is like watching a movie, it tickles you, but there is no actual stress and/or frustration. I kinda prefer no commentary format, but Tomo's commentary is excellent.
This was incredible. Nicely done, Helldiver.
SUBBED! Great vid.
Im not too sure if you knew, but you can actually use a smoke strike to destroy fabs. Happy Liberating.
Awesome vid, subbed. Cliff-hanger!
that was a fun as heck watch, congrats!
I’ve never been on the edge of my seat for 46 minutes straight like that. GGS
Hey Tomo this was absolutely amazing to watch, loved every second, could I also ask what the outro song is???
pretty clean there tomo. big GGs.
This was awesome man!
