When the dominator takes down enemies quicker than the rail gun, you know the rail gun is completely busted.
Railgun is ass holyshit
I prefer this farming method on bots vs bugs. Admittedly I'm playing on suicide not helldive. It never feels like I can get away from the bugs, they'll chase me to the ends of Super Earth where the bots feel like you can consistently lose or distract them. As rage inducing as getting stun locked by random rockets is I'll still take it over getting combo'd and chain slowed by those fucking hunters.
You can escape bugs. Hunters and chargers are the only bugs that faster than you, and you can easily kill first ones and run away (or kill somehow) from second ones. When breaches happens bugs running on your position in the beginning of breach, so you can just run 20-30 meters away and bugs wont see you. + You can use napalm strike to cover your escape (small bugs will die on fire and heavy just too slow to catch you). Played many missions against bugs and bots on level 7, and bots much harder than bugs on this missions.
If you go bugs you NEED a shield generator to get away from hunters else they jump you and slow you down and the rest of the pack will finish you off.
@@gelanghaarteweile3048nahhh. I run the jet pack on bugs and shield gen on bots. Nothing can catch me when I have the jet pack
Weird. I feel the complete opposite (I also do this on suicide)
As a pro bug player, I recommend a guard dog and quasar. The guard dog allows you to just run away while the dog passively kills anything in pursuit, and the quasar is just for Chargers
Can they not just make a scientific survey mission with the sole purpose of collecting samples. have it be like a normal survey mission but the collector takes up the backpack slot. You drop the collection station, put the pack in it, defend, collect pack. Do this three times and extract with pack. Also just thought of a better, more suited to helldivers, kind of mission. Inspired by warframe of all things. How about simply repurposing the defend the base mission to be "Cause a distraction while a lone Helldiver raids the area for samples". Finishing the mission gives a guaranteed 30 normal, 20 rare and 6 super rares. This way sample collection becomes its own thing while still allowing for collection when in the original missions. So if all you want are samples. You can get them without sabotaging other players.
didnt even think of a survey mission. That sounds so good and would make the slow and painful sample grind much easier, especially when you have to deal with teammates just taking off when there is still a lot of time to collect samples.
Please arrowhead
I’d really like that if they made that a thing.
From previous polls in Discord they seem quite open to new mission types, so hopefully they implement something like that.
Can they make a Twerking emote? Yes. Will they? Maybe
4:50 not only did they add extra dropships for bots and multiple spawns during bug breaches, but they also changed certain elite enemy seeds that differ per mission, such as Heavy/Rocket Devastators or Bile Spewers or just enourmous amounts of Tanks and Titans. That alone turns enemy reinforcements from a nuissance into a real threat to mission success, especially since bot drops can now spawn Factory Striders.
10/10 yap session as always
Brought 2 friends to play trios this weekend doing tier 9 defense missions to showcase this sample farming, they were shocked not only with the research boost achieved but also the incredible ammount of super credits this method provides, we got bout 450 SC in a few hours, Goated way to play Defense Major Orders. 👍
My personal experience recently have been Bug Breaches spawning full tsunamis of Hunters and Wilburs instead of Warriors, Broods and Spewers meanwhile Bot Drops are the opposite, bringing in the Hulks, Devastators way more often than Berserkers and light units. I play mostly Tier 7 missions throughout the week with full squad Tier 9 missions on weekends.
I swear there's hidden modifiers for bug population that change daily One day you run a difficulty 4 mission on a planet and get insane ammounts of bugs every breach. The next day you run a difficulty 8 mission on the same planet and there's not even half the spawns per breach
@@kokorochacarero8003yep it's random, sometimes you get loads of small bugs and somethings you only get big guys.
@@ghoulbuster1 It's not even that they switch out smalls for bigs, it's that sometimes the missions are just straight up easier. It happens with the patrols too, where sometimes on the same difficulty you will be harassed by a new patrol every minute, and at other times you see like 2 patrols in the whole round. Part of it could have something to do with certain map layouts trapping patrols inside/on top of/behind map geometry, but it even happens on pretty flat maps.
Yapping 10/10. Watched a lot of let's plays the last decade as well as other gaming content and I think you're one of my new faves. Keep up the good content!
favorite HD2 content right here! Love when you have new vids man! keep it up!
Thank you so much! I was farming my rare samples in solo blitz missions, but this is literally twice as fast!
I tried this and instantly got obliterated by bot drops 😂
I still appreciate this work, I wish I could explain half as well as you do. But also don't forget to take breaks when you can. I know how many hours it must have taken just to get the footage right let alone the editing that had to be done afterwards. Keep up the phenomenal work and I'll be rooting for you man. You earned every favorite and like you got and thats a rarity these days on KZhead.
14:36 it's funny how you can get MORE samples than is shown
It's because the samples in the shipping containers are random loot, and not counted among the map's spawned samples.
@@asraarradon4115 ah okay, didn't know that
Or less because samples can clip through map geometry where not even explosives can get the out. I've witnessed a PoI with automaton bridge over the gap that had shipping container on one side and collapsed mine ont he other. Half of rare sameples from that mine was in the rocks where you can't realistically get close to them.
Or samples dropped on water lol can’t get them
Help me understand why there are so few bots on your map? I've never played above level 7 with so few bots! They seem to just dissapear, you don't run into patrols...what's the secret, what are I and every team I'm on missing to get such empty maps?
I don't think patrols spawn while the obj is still ongoing for rescue missions. Once obj is complete, ambient patrols start spawning and the dropships stop coming in (outside of flares being shot up obv)
the laser cannon is the fastest way to kill gunships, it also does melt hulks and devastators in the weakspot but depending on terrain hitting the hulk in it for the needed time while its barreling towards is another story. when i run with a squad or randoms i always pick the laser but if solo i'll use something else. (when facing automatons)
Auto cannon is, 2 shots to an engine
@@OhDough las cannon is the kind of weapon that is never wrong, but never quite right either
@@veritascalivmeir3708 The way you have to play to leverage it also makes it feel somewhat random and volatile, at least against bots. Either they all miss and you can sit on a rock playing Osu with weakspots all day, or you just eat constant headshots.
I've been running stun grenades and the laser cannon. The stun grenade freezes the Hulk, and about two seconds of laser fire kills it. It's quick and clean.
The last big patch changed the las cannons effectiveness against gunships. Takes twice the time to kill one now.
In my experience the samples shown when you hit the map button are samples that are out in the open, the purple ores in rocks, the flowers, the black crystals etc. However the Rare samples you get from the blinking supply ships and the cargo containers do NOT count toward the total, so you can get more samples than the total shown if you clear all poi's, Bases and Objectives and get rare samples from inside the blinkies and the crates, like how in the video he got 31 out of 30 rare samples - he got every rare sample on the map plus one from a cargo crate. The base that has the Essential Personnel tends to have a few Common Samples as well, the most I've gathered from the base alone I got around 6 Commons on top of the rest I got from the other edges of the map - and this was on difficulty 7.
that missile at 5:18 completely missed and went off anyway
Lol you're right, that bot had some remote activation going
Player hitbox is bigger than the actual model, I confirmed this with testing. This is why it's so easy to get headshoted.
@@ghoulbuster1 It's such a weird design choice, especially considering how overly-accurate some of the enemy hitboxes are. Like how the gaps that Raiders have near the waist are modeled, and can make it very easy to just hit nothing if you aim low against them. (And then there's stuff at the complete opposite end of the spectrum, like how Shield Devastators will just straight up shoot through their own shield at impossible angles.)
@@ghoulbuster1Pretty sure it's just the server being quirky. What you see on your screen tends to not match up perfectly with whatever the server thinks is going. Which is why you sometimes just tank a rocket to the face
I love how creative you are with your loadouts. Very nice content thank you for that !
For those that understand the strategy better than I do.... what's the plan behind tossing a shield generator but running right through it and continuing on? Do the bots get distracted by it? Does it block them because they blindly try to follow you through it?
Yeah bots and bugs alike will get distracted by it and focus it if its closer
@@jckfrost36Hmmmmm.... gonna have to give that a try--thanks!
Hey Dough, what's your opinion on defense campaigns? Do you feel like they're overtuned or just right? I feel as if they're meant to fail especially if you have multiple at a time by how hard it is to outpace the enemy.
Dough I love the content! It’s funny to think over a year ago I watched some zen tutorials and now we’re all just playing better games now :)
Zenyatta?
@@rocklee5x correct
@@TheKoloradoShow ah yes i remember the good ole days before that game went to shit
@@rocklee5x fr. Ow2 feels depressing to play as an origins edition launch player
Word on the bot drop. Even in Suicide Missions you will get 3-4 bot drops in each POI, and multiple waves as well. It did not use to be like that. When I was farming in Extreme difficulty, I get 1-2 bot drops AT MOST, and POIs are pretty chill most of the time.
So close to greatness number...
Laser cannon does big things, impressed all my friends when bringing it on one of these missions HOWEVER, TTK on hulks and devastators the rail gun has it beat, heavy things like tanks and cannon turrets almost nothing beats it, its like a a second and a half, but with hulks your sway their sway and such a small hit box its takes me personally, like most of the heat sink to kill but it can do it
10/10 love your guides, while I don't agree with everything you say, the way you present everything is perfect for what I'm looking for. Keep up the good work!!!
I've been rocking that look for as long as I can remember, that helmet goes really well with that armour :D I know light armour is better but mans gotta look fly.
Honestly I personally wouldn't mind you making content around new/other games Just cuz I love the "yap shesh"/"studying the hell into a game content" you do :3 you're grounded/real and it's kinda hard for me to say that about some youtubers now. (but with that please don't cutoff your helldivers content Dough)
Try the laser! Stun grenade, shield backpack, grenade pistol, and your primary choice! Works good for the bots!
I've only recently discovered your channel, and have to say, enjoying the content so far! I have a kinda weird question for you though if you see this. My aiming/camera feels super sluggish compared to yours and I'm curious what your sensitivity settings are and if you changed them any from default. I changed mine some but the slider is kind of absurd...
my aim settings are mostly default mouse sens: o.05 (1600 dpi) mouse smoothing: off mouse accelertaion: 0.00 the rest is normal
Excellent, thank you!
What do you have the stratagem arrows set to since it's not wasd? Do you take your hand off mouse to use the regular arrow keys? I wonder if setting it to rdfg or something so you can use just your index finger makes sense
I just take my hand off the mouse and use arrow keys.
Do you have some kind of tactic to finding (or landing, as you did here) right next to the Super Samples? I know they always spawn near that specific rock, but did you have of knowing where that was right from the start?
I just land on the edge of the map since it was basically a straight lined path
I love thermites, i find their damage isn't that great but hoo boy they spark joy when they blow haha its nice to see high difficulties using it too :D
how can you have 31 out of 30 rare sample ???
30 is what's on the map. If you find more in point of interest lockers you can go over.
Do you also feel like they nerfed stealth? Like you get spotted instantly whereas, before, they would only be drawn to your last known location?
Ive absolutely noticed the bots getting harder, i played almost exclusively bots from lvl 1-30 and once factory striders and gunships were added it felt like everything else was also cranked up to 11, so so so many rocket devs now 😭
10/10 yap, gonna give this a bash now
How did you one shot the factory strider with eagle airstrike at around 3:00? Did you just get lucky that the strider was orientated the same direction as the eagle? That's what it looks like. But I have called 2 in on them before and hit at least a couple bombs with both and still not killed them.
Eagle upgrade and positioning
why aren't you using dominator against devastors?
5:30 occasionally one of those guys will spawn with a metric fuckload of health, it's rly weird and it's very rare. Afaik it's intentional on the devs part
Glad its not just me who cant hit the little guys at all with the dominator.
Waiiiiitttt, so you do not need to do the mission at all? Just get samples and run out clock to extract?
This is much better 😅😂😂
if you return from mission do you keep the samples or do you need to successfully extract?
whoever has samples has to extract with them or they don't count
I noticed also, somehow there's more Dropships suddenly. Last day was like 6 or 7, one after another. Was literally nightmare.
hehehe the terminator at 5:30
Jump backpack can help your heavy slow ass get away quickly from objectives and following bots
Railgun 1 taps striders if you shoot at the armour plate protecting the rider instead of the midsection, btw
That requires more charging and the part I shot tends to 1 shot with far less charge
Gave this a shot. It did not go quite as smoothly lol
I'd suggest lvl 6 if you don't need super samples and lvl 7 if you do. it's easier in a group but people still don't know how the mission works so they assume you're throwing by leaving the main objective in group play pretty often.
5:56 "Ill go into a sample mission farm, like this" The citizens that needed saving: *dead*
they chose the wrong planet to inhabit
How did you get the samples counter on the top right of the screen, I enabled all hud elements in the game options but the counter is still not showing up, even when I pick up a sample. It is a bug or am i missing smth?
options > hud > sample visibility: visible
yep this option is set to visible but it still not show up. I think my game is broken
You have to set the HUD to dynamic for the samples to show up.
I'm such an idiot...it never occurred to me that you can still extract if you don't complete the mission.
They need to give the heavy armor a little buff. Maybe higher damage melee with better knockback. The extra 1 hit you can take often doesn't feel worth it compared to such low stamina.
They dial up ever nob and lever instead of adjusting for one specific enemy. In case of the Heavy Devastator its accuracy is through the roof across the map
I don’t know if it’s just me but when you have your map zoomed out all the way and start scrolling around the map you can find POI’s because it will say “POI” as if you already discovered it
I think that's an unlisted perk for armor with the Scout passive.
@AdamWutke I've seen it to, and I'm pretty sure I was wearing the 50/50 armor
Yeah I have done this, it appears it only works when you join someone else game. If you solo it doesn't work.
The hate u so much they trowing broken Bots after you 3:53 😂
10/10 yapper as always
I think they nerfed the Guard Dog Rover, mine was shooting the ground more than it was shooting enemies last night
Sorry for the question unrelated to the video, but since I subbed to you for the hands down best Remnant 2 content out here, I wondered if you were going to do more videos for it since The Forgotten Kingdom drops today? Hoping so. Some of the patch changes seem pretty significant on paper, especially for Archon. Appreciate all the work you put into your content
I'll be playing the update but idk if I'm posting any build vids.
When sprinting, always switch to secondary. You run faster.
Thoughts on the medium scout armor for PoI finding vs bots?
It's not a bad idea just to see where enemies are
@@OhDough Been wanting a reason to try it out more, I'll give it a look after work.
huh, I always thought you had to actually complete the mission to get the extraction. Didn't understand how people could do this sample farm solo until now lol
You can just aim for the Devastator's legs or the crotch, even with Railgun that's one shot and Jar is 2-3 shots, makes it a bit easier
how is it possible for you to get 31/30 samples? Never seen that before
12:26 yamcha pose
God I don't understand how it seems like there are so few enemies on this mission..... when I do these it seems like there are just ARMIES. But is it because you're ignoring the actual objective?
I thought they patched this. Everytime I’ve dropped it’s only been green samples at the base and that’s it.
Why thermites? Aren't they bad?
68 samples only? Missed opportunity. 😁
Do you simply play Helldivers 24/7?
Can you farm the samples while completing the main objective?
Yes, just not solo
Ive found it's really easy to do the main if you have 3 people doing samples because they pull the bot drops off the main
How do I prevent things from spotting me the second I drop down and locking me into prolonged combat? I dropped into an area with zero enemies and still got immediately thrown into combat somehow.
Does calling in a weapon drop also call in a bot drop or what???
Shields never miss, even sideways...
Shieldon's are different
Level 53 and didnt realise not doing the mission was an option lol
Sadly this is not on the mission board options. What's the next best mission type for farming with bots?
if there's a defense campaign for a planet then this mission is available. I'd blitz missions in a group if everyone's on the same page
Oh yeah, bot drops send in like 4 or 5 of them at once now, even if all players have something to take them down you gotta know who's aiming at which one or it's now a guarantee at least 2 are gonna make ground fall
yo dough are ya hyped for Remnant 2 dlc?
Eh, they nerfed so many things
Some times when I use the Dominator or Slugger I feel like I have no idea where my bullets go. I’ll be directly on target and just not hit my targets. Anyone else have this problem?
I can't find these missions to select. Are they super rare or something?
any planet with a timer will have these missions. they have an arrow on a shield for the icon.
Mission failed successfully...
Enjoy the HD2 content, thanks!
when I do it i just immediately get bombarded with 10 air ships with elites and devastators
43 seconds between drops
Why do you use thermite? I thought it was broken
It is if you aren't the network host. Damage over time is bugged and sometimes not working for 3 of 4 players on a given mission. If you're diving solo, you are the network host, guaranteed. So no DOT bug. So Thermites work just fine.
@rainbowkrampus its still a mystery tho because even as the host without the bug, u need more grandes for a kill and it takes ages. They are still dogpoo😂
@@sadghfajdslhgsadklgk Its use cases may be too niche rn, but it didn't look like dogpoo @ 11:10 👀
@@Adeon55 that is a fair point, it would have taken 2 impact grenades there. I was previously unaware there was even a legitimate use case. As against units, say a hulk, you could kill it with less impact grenades than thermite
What ? Maybe it's me but it wasn't clear at all, what's supposed to be the method to farm the samples here ?
The fact that you can get 60+ samples in 17 minutes and in solo is not good enough for you?
How do u play a full game solo people always joining me and I don’t want to keep kicking them
There's an option in the settings menu to set your lobby to friends only instead of public...
RIp battlerite man the people weren’t ready… it could’ve done Fortnite numbers with a marketed mobile version…
Can I do this in easier missions?? I don’t need supers atm
yup, it has to be this mission type but it can be at lower difficulties
Howd you get 31/30 rares??
ive tried so many hud settings, and can never seem to get a sample counter like you have
Set Mission Info to Dynamic
@@AniStormSonic thanks, I didn't notice before it was only up when the map was too.
How do you run with the map open?
Start running and press the map button and you'll open the map while running :)
Wait what? you can one shot striders with eagle strikes?
yup
I think I'm just confused because it seems like you briskly run through the map on Helldive and get verylityle pushback. Then when I land with 3 others on suicide mission.....the $hit hits the fan IMMEDIATELY
if you stay in 1 area fighting you'll fight more than someone going from point to point
YES the bot drops are WAYY to much in these types of missions. My friends and I completed this mission type on bugs at diff 7 and never lose. With bots, we've yet to every win one of these. it's too many, to often. Bot diff 5 feels like bug diff 7. Something has changed or needs to change back, but needs to be different.
Stamina booster also increases movement speed of medium and heavy armor, making medium armor barely any different from light armor as light armor does not benefit from this buff. Would highly recommend it for something like this where you spend a lot of time running.
Light armor benefits a crazy amount from the booster...moreso than any other armor type lol
@@GYI5U Not true in any way. Looking strictly at the stamina, Light armor has the exact same benefits as medium and heavy armor, roughly 30% more stamina and roughly 23% shorter recovery times compared to no booster. However, medium and heavy armor also gain increased speed. Heavy armor's speed is increased by about 4%, while medium armor's speed is increased by about 8%. Light armor receives no speed boost from the stamina booster. Thus, heavy and medium armor benefit more from the stamina booster because they also gain movement speed while light armor only gains the same proportional stamina buffs. Heavy armor without the buffs is ~77% as fast as light armor. With it, it's ~81% as fast. Medium armor without the buffs is ~87% as fast as light armor. With it, it's nearly 95% as fast. Light armor without the buffs is 100% as fast as light armor with the buffs, only benefting from the increase in stamina (which also affects medium and heavy armor to the exact same extent).
2:05 the place you're at isn't a gem
bots or bugs defense means sample farming. got a few hundred in a few hours
I was literally getting bodied so much on this missions that a sample farm is virtually impossible above level 6 diff. Maybe the trick is to experiment with wonky loadouts like yours.
nice farming method but I think I can't do that alone. maybe need a lot of practice.
Id appreciate an actual guide on how to do this type of thing with ease for us mere mortals
Nice run man. Good content
Since when can you 1 shot an AT-AT with the Eagle Airstrike?
I have the XXL ship upgrade so that helps
