Helldivers 2 - Eradicate Missions on Automatons Is INSANE (Solo Helldive Difficulty, Guided Run)

what's up Legends many of you guys have requested to see how to complete the eradicate missions so today I got here for you to backto back eradicate missions against the very insane automatons initially this wasn't going to be a video I was just playing a regular game against the automatons but after I completed the first eradicate Mission I figured I'd go for the second one so this is indeed a voice over post commentary not a live commentary on this video we're going to be going over a few pointers and my thoughts as we go through these games uh one thing that I deeply recommend for these eradicate missions is bring this butcher heavy armor set right here because it has the medkit passive which is going to allow us to bring two more stems and the stem duration is increased and that is going to be extremely important in these missions because when you use a stem you are essentially immune against automatons and it's just extremely important as you will see here many many times for this run we were using the 500 kilo bomb the rocket pod the eagle air strike and the autoc cannon but funny enough I actually don't even get to use the autoc cannon I think I take a couple of shots off of it uh as I'm struggle here to pick up this very first autoc cannon but later on I'm able to call it up uh so the reason why we're playing two backto back eradicate missions here is because there are two different maps for the eradicate missions in case you didn't know there is this map map and there is the other one that you'll see here in a second which is a more vertical type map but the strategy for both of these is going to be very similar so if you can pull it off on one map you're likely going to be able to pull it off in another and essentially what we're going to be doing here is relying a lot on our strategems and using the edges of the map you essentially want to be on the edges of the map consistently so that you can survive for a longer Peri periods of time you're able to kite your enemies easier you're able to stay alive longer which is just going to enable you to cycle through your strategems a lot better things are pretty hectic here and I'm using as many eigor strikes as I can to just get as many kills as I can but yeah it's just going to be a kiing game for pretty much the entire run and though this isn't something I can pull off consistently uh funny enough for this video conveniently enough it was a backto back Victory win but uh yeah I'll struggle with the this Mission a couple of times as well uh it's not something I can do consistently but I hope this helps anyone that wants to try this out as it's probably one of the hardest missions to do one thing that I found pretty interesting here on this wall is if you kind of hit it from an angle you can climb up just check this out may seem like a silly trick but this as you will see later on will Will Save Our Lives I believe it saves us about two times since we kind of use the edge of the map there uh it's going to be of quite some good use look how powerful that stem is right it completely turns you immune against automatons you can get some pretty you can do some pretty bold moves when you're stemmed up and also here for the weapons we're also using the scorch weapon which I believe is the best weapon against the automatons as it's able to deal with Striders Devastators dramatically easier U I don't think we fight a single Devastator here on this map or not Devastator sorry I don't think we fight a single Strider on this map but it absolutely thrives against them I'm just getting hammered around but as long as I got stems then I'm pretty much immune as you can see but at this point things get a little bit uglier because I run out of stems so what I do is I go to the edge of the map here and try to reset a little bit when you go to the edges of the map due to these walls the automatons have a long way to go around which actually will buy you something like 20 30 seconds here uh before the automatons even POS a threat again so gives us a nice bit of time here to kind of restart and give us our stratem a little bit of a reset that hell bomb was dropped somewhere there on that bomb on that uh on that ground and one of them shot it but I never saw it someone ask me how come my uh torture seems to kill shootter Target shootter Devastators faster than theirs do uh against shoeld Devastators you want to shoot their shoulders okay you want to shoot the shoulders on the shooter Devastators that's how you'll be able to kill them fast I see some people try to shoot directly at their Shields but that's going to take a lot longer against the Striders it's okay you can shoot directly on their front armor but not against the shoot of Devastators our biggest issue in this eradicate mission is going to be continuously the hulks as you will see time and time again uh they amount to pretty much like 90% of my deaths it's always going to be the hulks this big boy here takes us out for the first time but we're already up 27% so I know if I can keep pulling off lives like that and we'll be good to go as we get six lives and that's already more than a quarter of the way through so we're looking pretty good kind of chilling here on the edge of the map kind of waiting for them to come to me so I can get a couple of clear kills without overextending or exposing myself but eventually I'm aware that they're going to reach me and things are going to get ugly so I'm just trying to stall for as long as I can to reset those strategem pick up a couple of resupplies here and I figur all right let's get the hell out of here cuz things are about to get ugly it's just going to be a lot of that kiting and just poking them apart and just killing them as often as you can just picking them out one by one and eventually that number is going to reach zero the strategems as well you're going to be able to do a lot of work so I don't bring for this game but what I can recommend is barrages bares are very good for this type of play style cuz you can keep walking around the edges of the map and throwing bares in the center of the map where the bulk of the automatons are but yeah I don't actually use that for this uh run at all for the next run I do use the 380 mm barrage but yeah not on this one first death comers around I see two hulks grouped up I figure I might be able to land here and get both of them in one one go and I actually do manage to take one out and hurt the other one so I know this one's hurt I'm trying to get a clear angle and it's back but it's not working so one thing you can do against the hulks is land grenades in between their legs when they're weak okay I landed two there third one does the trick down goes the Hulk that can be quite useful at times as I can see here the Devastators and all of these automatons are pretty grouped up so it's time to drop in those ego air strikes that just came back from cool down to crunch that percentage as much as we possibly can also stun grenades are very very good against automatons but I do not quite recommend it here as stun grenades you just you're not going to have enough space to stun a bot and get behind them get to their weak spots and get rid of them I recommend the impact grenades I feel like they're a bit easier to utilize in a situation like this where you're not really even able to breathe the grenades can pretty much one shot the shield of Devastators it can one shot the Striders you can even kind of get rid of hoax as you just saw there previously is pretty much going to be our main uses of impact grenades here prosity key is going to be not to rush the 15 minutes you get for this mission is more than enough more than enough you're able to get four to five different resupplies you're able to get a crap ton of strategems you're going to be just fine if you're using barges you're going to be able to get two to three barges I think maybe more I'm not exactly sure you're going to be getting a lot of bares so you're going to be getting a lot of uses out of your strategems you just got to play the time and not worry about doing it fast whatsoever you hear about three tanks clumped up and this is where the rocket pods come to shine the rocket pods are strictly for the tanks the rocket pods are able to one hit tanks so that's what we use it there try to use another one cuz I know there's still multiple tanks in there I will say this though I probably would you know looking back at these two game plays I probably would swap out the rocket pods for the barrage the 380 mm barrage and I would swap out the autoc cannon for the other barrage which I think is called 110 mm barrage I think barres are overall just a better idea than uh the rocket pods and the autoc Cannon as you can see we haven't even used the autoc cannon I'm trying to call in here the first autoc cannon in the game really I only get a couple shots off of it not even sure I get any kills with it don't quite recall trying to grab here A bunch of stems six stems means means we're alive for quite a long period of time I'm just trying to kite these big boys we're going to run into a pretty bad group here which is going to force us to fall back oh we get an Hulk autoc Canon kill there that's pretty good there's a huge Army coming from that way so I just try to grab as many kills as I can we're already down to 84% I got three lives I know I'm pretty much good to go I know the missions already closed pretty much just got to play time and try to work these kills I shouldn't have Peak there but I'm just trying to grab a few more kills I know at this point I'm pretty much dead but once again here's that wall that I was talking about doesn't actually work out for me there but it's still a neat treat nonetheless it's going to save you and in these you never want to go back to your body by the way you just want to dip and go the other direction cuz if you just go back to your body that's where all the automatons are going to be and you're just going to die instantly when you go back this point I'm really just worried about about kind of trying to get as many kills here as I can to finish off this game up to 90% try to get a couple more with the grenade dive pretty good there dodge those Rockets up to 93% the pressure is immense for this game we don't manage to extract by the way spoiler alert uh the second one we do uh manage to extract honestly I'm not concerned about extracting for these game modes at all that rock is also great for making it back around try to take out the tank here try to pull a sneaky beaky one on it but I don't quite take enough shots to finish it off and I missed the nade so since I'm out of bullets here situation gets pretty ugly I try to climb back that I can swap around my weapon pick up the more ammo one try to snag a couple more kills died here the pressure is pretty strong so I'm once again I tried to go over here but this crane was actually an invisible wall that didn't let my pod actually steer over this little Hill which is sadly the reason we die there there is an invisible wall there for the steering pod which just pushes me down there pretty annoyed at that point we're able to finish it off right here we got 4% grenad this Devastator and I managed to pull it off but I should have stemmed first again when you use a stem you're immune dude that's pretty much all you got to know you're pretty much immune 500 kilo bomb finishes off the game for us at this point I'm trying to kill as many as I can but I don't really get too far because I'm surrounded from hulks which again as I said before is going to be our worst enemy and that's the first game so that was quite easy and we go and immediately hop into another one let's just go through here this uh Mission completed I just want to oh no actually I was going to say I just want to show how many kills we get here but we actually don't even look at it I'm not mistaken let's see it's kind of curious to see if we get any kills no but we don't know what we'll just play this out back to the ship swap missions out conveniently enough it turned out to be the other different type of map we look here still the same operation modifiers if I'm not mistaken it's the exact same so for this one I kind of swap things around a little bit uh as I didn't get any use on the autoc cannon on the first game for this game and make sure that I don't bring it but at this point I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to bring I was torn apart between the 380 mm and the 110 but I end up bringing up the 380 also yeah use the Vitality that's going to be your best choice as well for a booster I should have mentioned that earlier as it's going to make sure you injure your character a bit less which will result in you wasting your stems a bit less and making sure you keep those stems mostly only for uh wanting to become immune let's say so in this game we actually do it even a little bit easier the previous one we got pretty close there to not pulling it off but this one we do with a lot more ease the barrage comes into huge play which is why again looking back at this game playay I probably would swap out either the 500 kilo bomb or the rocket pod for the other barrage as you'll see the barrage here is going to be quite useful I drop in The Barrage immediately because we want to get multiple uses out of it and in this one game we don't want to save it for any specific situation like when there's a lot of units or anything no we actually just want to use it right now so that we can get three uses out of it as you saw there the cool down on it is 4 minutes and 30 so on a 15minute game we're going to get three uses out of it but if we take too long to use it immediately we're not going to be able to use three times and that's my dog at this point I'm just kind of waiting to for the boss to kind of push me essentially this is what I like to do I kind of sit still in a in a somewhat of a safe position and I kind of wait until I'm pressured enough to move if I'm not pressured enough to move then I stay there and I just get as many kills as I can until I'm pressured to move is this that famous quote don't fix what's not broken right so if it's working we're staying here until it doesn't work and then we have to get the hell out we got an injured Hulk to the left here and an injured Hulk to The Right Use a rocket pod there to try to finish off that Hulk again I in this game this rocket pod I think it maybe gets like five kills in total so yeah the barrage is definitely going to be a better choice I think or maybe even some orbital some other orbital choice I would generally recommend using some armor penetrating one though and not something like a cluster bomb as that's not really going to be doing much against automatons once again as we were pushed out we go back onto our default mode of working the edges of the map and again every time you go to the edge of the map a for es the automatons to make the way around the base to kind of come and reach you so you get something like 30 seconds or so before they even get to you it should allow you to get quite a few more kills before they even reach youy this point we're getting surrounded once again I know there's a hole coming from here which is why I anticipate the 500 kilo bomb but once again we get another glitch but this time the strategy goes through the floor so we go and we throw another 500 kilo bomb to try to make it out we're just kind of hoping it's going to destroy that Hulk so we can make our way out of this one from that direction but it's actually a horrible 500 Kil bomb that doesn't kill a single bot so we just try to get out of here with the stems again stems turn us immune for that brief amount of time but yeah just get shoved to the floor here and since the stem was already out of time then get in a pretty bad situation so I have a pretty bad respawn here I respawn a little bit too close to the to the middle of it I'm feeling a bit confident here at this point but it was a horrible horrible Choice again that tip that I said previously I will say it again you have to go far away from the enemies you can't land too close to them the automatons just instantly nail you the second they see you you always want to be getting your distance from them and since you're playing alone all the automatons will follow where you are so if you die on the east side of the map when you respawn try to go as far west as you can don't make the same mistake that I did there at this point I tried to hold there for as long as I could but I'm already getting pressured so once again figure I might make my way to the edge of the map again so we're going to jump down by the way jump damage is like almost negligible in this in this game you can jump from really tall places high places off for resupply here another thing that I didn't mention yet but you should be calling resupplies around the edges of the map so as you kind of go around in a circle around the map you constantly be running into your own resupplies that's also going to be very useful try to land The Barrage there as close to the middle of the map as I can I think this barrage turns out to be quite good I recall correctly problem about the 380 is that the range the radius of it is a bit too large which is once again why I think the 110 barrage will actually be a fantastic choice as it lends a lot closer to your actual Target this one still gets something like 20 kills probably a decent amount of Hulks is going to add to a lot of our percentage there we're already up to 47% we're doing pretty good here I miss those grenades pretty terribly but one grenade to shoot a Devastator will get rid of them get [Music] get got a couple hulks above me try to shoot his vent there but that didn't quite work out turned around pretty quick now I'm just kind of chilling once again waiting for the enemies to flush me out I wasn't sure if that was a Devastator or Hulk there which is why I shot it a couple times I to hit this should have devastated his shoulder but I kind of have a hard time pretty dark map probably really dark for you guys there as well this time this time around I was actually given quite a lot of time here we had a lot of time to recover boy the Rockets are so nice now they actually don't want hit you guys they used to one hit which was crazy annoying but nowadays with this heavy armor I don't know if you saw there but I took it to the face that only did like 30% of our of our health there which is pretty good at this point I don't really see anything there by the way I'm just kind of shooting into the fog cuz I see gunfire coming out of it just look at this situation this moment here is going to show you guys how important that stem immunity really is if I recall correctly I believe this is the right Point see the Hulk the Hulk is the one that's going to flush us out so you see the Hulk and I'm like all right let's get the [ __ ] out of Dodge but look how I pull this off with the immunity given by this heavy armors passive and all these automatons just blasting at me I'm constantly spamming the stem button here and of course we get yet another glitch hell diver can't make his way up there getting grounded and pounded called stemmed up again once again still immune get another stem off but at this point we're out of stems I think we still pull it off I think we were able to escape yeah one more stem would have done the job sadly we had that glitch there where we couldn't climb up up that's about three glitches in these two games that actually cost our lives pretty sadly but still manag to pull it off no big deal once again I make the same mistake of Landing right in the middle of the map instead of trying to go all the way to the edge of it I made that mistake several times at this point spoiler alert I don't really think we die anymore if I recall correctly this point it's just going to be about working out the pre the last few Bots just using those ego air strikes to our advantage once again just abusing the edge of the map making the them have to make the way around the map to reach us oh okay I guess I was wrong so there I did properly I hesitated there for a second I was thinking about going back to my body but I actually went away from it so that was a good move I wanted to reach that resupply though that I had just called in which is why I kind of leaned towards it as the resupplies will just give us an insane of course an insane amount of ammo and something like eight I believe eight stems which you know it's a lot of invincibility against automatons which is definitely something we're looking for Raj here manages to get quite a few more kills still 20 seconds left on that bad boy and it's just shredding through the automatons just nuking them with everything I got if you guys know of any other uh strategems that might have a better fit for this uh Mission then do let me know but I think this just goes to show I wasn't running ideal strategems there and still very very possible by using the strategy by using the edges of the map forcing them to rotate grenade try to land here a couple in between their legs I do land a couple of Hefty ones usually it takes three through four nades but I think I missed on the first one which didn't get rid of them sadly we figure we just keep running away we're only 4% away this point I'm kind of hoping that rocket pod is going to finish the game it doesn't I'm able to kite that Hulk to completion found it wrong at this point only missing couple more bot kills and hey that does it so that does it but we also extract in this game uh so we're going to go through that in case you're also wanting to extract while you're doing this uh so we accidentally do something here we don't actually do that on purpose but I don't know if you guys know but if when the extraction point is called in and the Pelican one is arriving on the extraction point if you're not in range of the extraction point the Pelican one will stay floating shooting at the enemies which is actually what ends up happening I really really didn't do this on purpose I was just making my way around the map to reach the extraction point but I ended up forcing the Pelican one to stay floating and and killing a bunch of automatons making this extraction a tad bit easier so since I forced all the automatons to stay on that side of the map figure I go around the map and make my way around pays off quite well so yeah as we make our way back here to the Pelican 1 want to say thank you guys for watching the video thank you guys for your continued support we will be streaming the upcoming next week we also have the new war bond coming which I will be covering a lot of content on it so stay tuned for that and thank you guys very much for watching I hope this could be useful to some of you hell divers out there especially the solo hell divers that might be trying to pull off this Mission so thank you guys for watching I'll be catching you guys in the next one peace
