8 INSANE Solo Tips To Clear HARDEST DIFFICULTY in Helldivers 2!

welcome back everyone so as my play time of this game keeps increasing and getting bigger and bigger I decided to go ahead and go back to my solo tips video and kind of update some of the information now that I've gotten to the higher levels and I've gotten to the higher difficulty tiers and some of the information that I had on my older video is still relevant to the higher difficulties but some of the other information is outdated so I decided to go ahead and do an updated video on it so this way you guys can have all the info you need to go ahead and tackle the higher difficulties and have all the relevant information so the first thing I want to to talk about is to be versatile now what I mean by that is when you're going into a mission since we don't have anybody else and it is just ourselves we're going to have to make sure that we have all the tools needed to complete a mission meaning we're going to have to have some type of weapons to go ahead and take out large groups of enemies as well as having weapons to go ahead and take out armored enemies to clear nest and so on so being versatile when we are doing these missions is really important because if we don't have all the tools we need there is no way we're going to be able to complete a mission especially in the higher difficulty tier by ourselves so just keep that in mind whenever you're going and taking on these missions and especially before you actually drop in to go ahead and put everything you need to tackle that mission whether that be a defense destroy eggs escort or whatever so keeping kind of on the same topic of being versatile the next thing I want to talk about is the rail gun the rail gun is such a good and versatile weapon being able to take out multiple enemies at a time especially being able to take out the tougher larger enemies such as the biot Titans Chargers um you know the Hawks and so on it is a very good weapon that I think pretty much everybody should be running now the only downside to running the R Gun is it is a level 20 weapon but for those that are starting off the game and are only you know level 10 or so on I would advise maybe using the autoc cannon until you can actually get the rail gun but as soon as you can unlock it go ahead and do so you'll see a big Improvement to how more quickly you can actually take down those armored enemies now one of the positives about the rail gun is actually being able to One-Shot the biot Titan as you can time it right whenever he opens his mouth up if you get a nicely timed charged shot in there you will basically one shot blow his head off and kill it which is really insane thinking about a weapon that you know has 20 rounds that you can throw on your back that is not a like orbital or something like that or an Eagle Strike just being able to do that is so versatile and so nice when you're actually solo playing and you don't have anybody else around you now quick tip on the R Gun actually is if you go ahead and hold the reload button you will actually see the prompt pop up to where you can turn the mo to unsafe meaning the charge levels will go above maximum now if you actually hold it for too long the weapon will explode so be aware of that but if you get your timing down right you can put so much more damage out um killing these enemies especially on the Chargers and stuff like that you'll kill them a lot quicker in the unsafe mode and you can actually kill more multiple enemies in a straight line if you can actually line them up now something else that pairs really nicely with the R Gun and pretty much anything else is actually the shield backpack now this thing says on the description that it blocks projectiles but it does much more than that and you guys will soon find out when you actually start running it now what this thing actually can do is it'll basically kind of give you an overshield meaning if an enemy comes up and tries to melee attack you it'll provide a shield over you that will actually block that attack so you won't get a hit so when you're in Solo play and you can get overrun really easily if you're not paying attention having something like this on that gives you that extra layer of protection especially against the automatons is so helpful and you will quickly see that you will be able to complete solo missions a lot faster while actually using the shield backpack because of those things I just said now if you guys do want to support me the best way you can do that is by hitting the like And subscribe button lets me know you're enjoying these type of videos and it lets YouTube know as well which will actually push the video out to newer people that are unfamiliar with the channel now since we basically have a gun for armored enemies and we have a really nice overshield to give us more survivability we need a weapon to take out a lot of enemies at a time especially in big numbers so that brings us to our next thing I want to talk about which is running the breaker shotgun now pretty much any auto shotgun will work here um especially when you factor in the breaker shotgun now this thing allows us to basically go ahead and take out large packs of enemies and even some of the more armored enemies as well concering this does have light armor penetration and it shoots so many pellets so we can get in between the cracks of armor and really do a lot of good damage so like I said it just is a very good weapon especially considering that the rail gun is only really a one shot kind of single Target weapon this allows us to cover the weaknesses of that and allow us to do a lot more damage especially when solo playing we are like I said going to need a weapon to clear out packs really quickly and this allows us to do so so a really nice addition to those first two things I just said now I want to kind of talk about some strategems so I highly advise running either the orbital laser or the orbital rail Cannon I'm pretty sure it's called doing this will allow us to actually take out some tank your enemies more quickly especially with the rail Cannon um it pretty much on shots biot Titans and chargers and so on the only issue it is a one-hot so if there's multiple on this screen this will only really help for one of them now if you are experiencing multiple bot Titans on your screen at once or mult multible anything especially in the higher difficulties where that will be more frequent running something like the orbital laser is really good because it'll do burn damage consistent damage and it lasts for a while so if you're actually throwing it out and using the rail gun on something like the bot Titan you can pretty much take out multiple of them before the orbital laser actually ends so it is very good but like I said the Rog can is actually really good as well especially early on now this allows us to one shot anything so those two are really good just kind of see what mission you're going into to with difficulty and if you want something to be more instant like the rail Cannon to one shot or if you want to have something more prolonged to do constant damage like the laser cannon now the next thing I actually noticed that really helped me in Solo play was using enhancements Now using something like the stamina enhancements where our stamina will be bigger and we will get the stamina regen quicker or something like the radar enhancements where our radar range will be larger it really helps looking out and Scouting For enemies or allows us to Traverse the map more quickly and run away from enemies without having to worry about our stamina depleting as quick so definitely use the enhancements you'll see a big Improvement to your solo run throughs and it just helps overall now I wasn't running enhancements for a while and majority of people that I talked to that played solo playing weren't running it and I advise them to actually throw it on and they said that it help them a lot using um some of the higher tier enhancements definitely it will help you out so make sure that you're keeping that in the back of your mind to upgrade your enhancements when you can and like I said use something like the stamina enhance M or radar enhancements you will see a nice little uh bonus and Improvement to your solo playing now speaking of actually using your radar to scal for enemies don't actually fight everything on the map now you might be tempted to shoot everything you see but in Solo play that is something you should not do since we are alone majority of the time you're not going to be able to do everything on the map or you know kill every enemy you see so kind of prioritize that you know hey this Patrol or this little Nest over here is way out of my main objective so I probably shouldn't run all the way over there to do it now doing so you know you'll take a lot longer in missions and if you get overrun you're basically just going to die constantly so like I said don't shoot everything you see or fight everything you see prioritize what fights you want to take because we are alone now speaking of trying to finish the missions as quick as possible usually when you're in a squad you want to kind of land away from the objective and clear towards it because you can get a majority of the map done before completing the main objective but in Solo play that is the opposite you actually want to land at the objective and then if you can do anything else like the side objectives or maybe the minor places of interest going towards the extraction that's what you want to do because in majority of the time if you land away from it you're going to take way too long to actually get to the objective and before you actually know it you're going to run out of time before you complete the objective unless you're very very skilled so I would say land at the objective and get it done and then anything else you can do is a bonus because like I said if we get overrun or we find ourselves fighting too many enemies we are just going to fill the mission and the time is going to run out so keep that in the back of your mind that you want to finish as quick as possible and to kind of L at the objectives first the main objectives first clear them out and then anything else is an added bonus the last thing I'm going to say basically is just like I said in the beginning really see what missions you're going into and strategize based off of that if you're going into defense missions obviously you're going to want to run centuries if you're going into something like an escort you probably are going to want to run a few centuries too to help but you know if you're going into something like a blitz and Destroy running sentries is just going to slow you down so you want to run more like orbitals and Eagles so just really prioritize what you're going to be needing and what mission you're actually doing to complete it efficiently and try not to take too much time in the mission since we are soloing the main objective basically is to get the main objective done and then just complete and extract I hope the video was enjoyable and I hope you guys can go ahead and apply some of this info when you're running solo and then see an improvement I hope you guys have a great rest of your day or night depending when you're watching this video and I'll see you guys in the next one peace
