i have been a kid in a candy store with this warbond. and for once, i'm touching bots at ranges that make the 10x scope feel inadequate, even when set to the full 200m zoom. can i has a 15x scope please? also being able to reach so far out had me accounting for bullet drop. like a seriously decent amount. bot on the other side of the map and it's harrassing my buddy? PLUNK it has no more junk. i have been having an absolute BLAST performing overwatch for my teammates who are, likely for the first time in a while, breaking out their redacted regiment stuff to sneak into bases while i hide among the bushes in the hill. hell, i got to experience that "drop him" scene from the latest avatar movie. poor devastator got evaporated by a 20mm shell.
Did nobody else see that the hulk in the trailer had a damaged eye when it was shot? Misleading for sure but not a lie.
Sight liner needs about double the fire rate. It's ridiculous that you can shoot and pump your evictor and load a round into it and fire again significantly faster than a sight liner can shoot twice.
So primary AntiMmaterialRifle
Can name a female character from zzz but not one of the males. I know what kind of man you are
Corrections:
-The Eruptor handles better than the Sightliner, it has access to the Angled Foregrip
-Weapon trailers "lie" about breakpoints constantly, not sure what you are talking about with that. Go back and watch them, they are constantly "lying" about breakpoints.
-The Railgun has the highest muzzle velocity in the game, at 2000 m/s, 33% higher than the Nova
-Apex "not a meta choice"??? Against both bots AND bugs, it is potentially a straight up better RR. I think that once/if the drag/mass problem gets fixed it'll be a straight up better RR. Don't even bother with weakpoints, just use it exactly like a RR and it is largely better.
The APEX is 20mm that’s the same as the Autocannon ?
Nova is a biiit crazy good,
Apex is really really great even though it's mass is bugged
Sightliner is okay/good
Armor is meh as hell
Mist is meh as hell, glorified Peacemaker
Caltrops are an insult to democracy, I hate them, they suck super ass to super hell
Maybe the trailer implied that both helldivers shown in the scene shot the hulk in synchronization
"Alucard, put the police girl on the phone"
17:26 Don't worry Kai. It's already on the known issues list.
16:04 Isnt AMR ammo somewhat explosive?
13:18 fellow Solothurn S18/1000 enjoyer?!
3:05 to be completley fair, it's not the first time it happened.
Purifier on release for example was showing to one tap scout strider but it didnt do it.
I still think they just shouldnt do it tho
1:44 It would be fun if it could take down them in one shot, at least to the belly weakpoint. Eruptora already can two tap them AND damage enemies around them so it wouldnt be overpowered
A warbond playing directly into my playstyle? Well I might just pick the game back up once I get my pc fixed
0:42 it's the 3rd heavy pen primary. we had torcher and eruptor
The 30mm anti-freak Harkonen cannon! (cheery piano music plays)
the helldivers community… ( sprints into swarm of enemy's with a bolt action rifle)
WOW THIS GUN SUCKS I CANT CHAFF CLEAR ARROWHEAD IS SO BAD!
i mean the squids are known as the machine gun front for a reason
Took down a dragon roach last night with the sightliner.
I thought I just wasnt hitting the hulks eye dead on or something. yes, it should die in 1 hit anyway, it's hard enough to do when it's moving
Hey Kai whats the song name at 1:27 love when you get into it and drop this track?
Hey Kai whats the song you use at 1:27 in the video i love that sound track when you get into it and wanted to listen to it.
also Apex should prolly 2shot behemoth chargers
First off, IIRC the Apex and Nova being incapable of opening crates was a bug, and they've already noted that.
Second, the Nova apparently was made with the Quasar's mantling animation so it looks odd but it doesn't ruin anything else other than our immersion. Trust.
Third, yes, the Caltrops is underwhelming and it needs a buff (stun wise, as you've said) but I treat it more as those green toy-looking plastic war crimes meant to stop anything small enough from getting any closer because some of them die to one or two of those "butterfly mines".
Fourth, great video and the call-outs, as always.
And lastly, I thank you for mentioning the queen, Remielle, out from the left field
"democratic legos" hahaha,
got me good
☝
Cimmissar Sir, i do not wish to step out of line…..BUTTTTTT!
Its 3rd in terms of Velocity (I think)
Nova 1500 m/s
Railgun sits a 2000 m/s
Railcannon Strike at 10.000 m/s
So outside the flyer bots and the hulks its just deadeye but slower =3
I may be biased.
3:28 many we are geting customizable ammo?
Hellsing abridged what BALL knowledge 🙏
the remielle comparison is diabolical
I am… tempted to use the Apex. And the Sightliner. However, I still love the Autocannon more and my primary slot is limited to shotguns. Soooooo
Can't play the game thanks to the new anti cheat
Extremely controversial warbond.
Now we have AMR for first slot, which doesn't randomly kill you, unlocking support slot for something better.
Yet another throwable for roleplay only.
Armor passive which is just worse than redacted armor in every way possible(weapon sway reduce is a useless stat).
Hey, look, here is your support slot which is… just Laser AMR, just use something that can actually destroy dropships or fight hordes, there is no reason to use a cooldown AMR when the ammo is never a problem.
And can you believe it? Another secondary which is just redeemer but worse.
And Apex. We got Apex. Straight upgrade to autocannon.
Hope you are ready to waste your credits for 2 weapons.
Ngl i like the Nova over the apex. Apex feels clunky without the true grit armor passive
Of course we called our Super Solothurn Seras. It's just right
That….. has got to be the most "man of culture" explanation iv ever heard to describe weapon sway. Also, Hellsing Ultimate Abridged, and you named it Searas….. Kai, you have very good taste.
Edit: and yes that Demo force is Immersion shattering. And hopefully that Bullet gets fixed soon.
"Stop using the quasar on bots and take the quasar-lite." ~CommissarKai
People complain about the sightliner: waaa, the gun can't kill the bad guy in one shot
me having fun regardless: okay, but did it die tho? Did it die?
10:56 Comisar Kai coming in with the ball knowledge
CommissarKai referencing Bad Dragon was not on my 2026 bingo card
The Hellsing UAbr reference makes me so happy, absolutely best Halloween traditional watch.
7:05 just a heads up, the screen darkens whenever you're inside foliage crouched/prone, I haven't seen this work with the armor passive outside of foliage.
the sightliner is a primary…why the fuck does it not have Non-ADS crosshairs….
TECHNICALLY the sightliner in the trailer was accurate. there was a hidden sniper that shot at the same time. (still misleading and shitty tho)
As a Autocannon main, I have loved the Apex. I will probably keep autocannon for Bugs and Squids but Apex will be my go to for Bots, especially the Inferno Squad.
