Heavy Machine Gun Guide To Git Gud

I'm not gonna sugar sugarcoat it. These Helldiver-associated videos with this unique style are going to boost your channel. God bless, keep up the great work.

The best tip is don't use meme estratagens, for bots the only usable one is the autocanon

Been saying this since we got it. None believed me.

thank you!!!

Lol no one plays this game anymore

Have been running it with supply pack vs bots on helldive with tons of success. Very fun weapon that rewards a bit of patience and skill. AMR is still my fav but HMG is now close second

you did so well with these weapon set ups that i think AH is going to nerf the setup next patch

Ah yes the reload simulator stratagem


Joking aside, I do like to run with machineguns and HMG melts devastators and hulks. I wouldn’t use it on scout striders unless I had no other choice (too common enemy to waste bullets and reload time). That’s really the problem with it, not a trigger happy gun.

I found a whole new play style…. And I absolutely LOVE IT. I enebw have a whole new set of drip to play it with!

Engineer armor + Prone = laserbeam HMG
The HMG has just as much penetration as the anti-material rifle, except 25% less force behind each round.

Very helpful! am looking for the best weapons to deal with tanky bots and I love using machine guns so I wanted to know if this was worth it, this video really helped out!

Against the bugs 7 second reload is pretty much death.

Maybe I’m wrong but to me it seems the machine guns become more accurate, or at least the reticle dances around less, at their max fire rate. I used to set them all to low and every shot bounces the reticle and has to take time to come back on target. Now I usually set them to high and the reticle more or less stays in place without a lot of fighting it. It eats through ammo but that’s also why I run supply pack a lot now.

I think the devs should make a proper mini-gun with belt fed backpack at some point to recreate that crazy scene from Predator “CONTACT!!!”

What I don't get about this is why would I take it over the AMR and autocannon? Why would i take a weapon that performs worse optimally and requires me to bring a specific armor set and a certain backpack and a specific grenade to make it optimal when it isn't even fun mechanically to use?

Moving and reloading is very important. I just bring the grenade launcher. Does the same job at a faster rate and is easier to aim with also, grenade launcher can close bug holes, and has a decent aoe damge.

Feels like a cousin to the AMR, since they're both Medium penetration level 2 weapons that don't require backpacks. The AMR has precision, but the HMG has the versatile fire rates. The AMR is surprisingly handy in a close quarters pinch if you rapidly point-shoot it and manage to control the recoil, and the HMG is surprisingly good for ranged takedowns if you tap-fire. Really, the weapons are deceptively similar in use. I guess I'd even say that the biggest tradeoff between the two is that one has a scope and the other has a bigger magazine.

U play on 6 my nigga that shits trash in 9

"I'm on top of this thing"
Well, now you don't.

I used the liberator rover with this, and it really was helpful, to deal with the small enemies in fact it headshot devastators

Id rather use anything else. Mag is too short

How is it against gunships?

Why use this weapon when I can play with the autocannon 🤷‍♂️

This is a very high quality video for your sub count. well done, man.

A rail cannon strike will possible kill a titan, but if it doesn't then the cracked back armour is a prime machine gun target

I like the HMG but if your caveat is that you should be using a stun grenade to make a window to calmly hit the weak spot of heavy enemies you can already do that quickly with many primary weapons

I can't wait to use this with the new viper commando armor that reduces recoil with no need for crouching

Great video man. Gonna give it a go tomorrow!

What if you could mount the machine gun or have a bipod that actualy works ?

Hah bet you’re happy with the 50% damage and ~20% reload buff

I think the lack of helldive footage speaks for itself. It’s a fun gimmick but it just doesn’t have the broad utility of weapons like the autocannon. That’s really the biggest thing holding it back. Freeing up a backpack slot does not make that better when things like the amr and laser cannon exist. The hmg does one specific thing better then them at the expense of any flexibility of use.

Supply backpack is the G.O.A.T with the HMG.. thank me later....

yeh they added an extra clip to machien gun this patch but the reload speed for both is AIDS to watch.,

Theres 5 rules to running the HMG!
Duck, dive, drop, dip and dive

it kinda makes sense tho. they intend to make guns fit for different roles and situations. MG=MG=MG is not a viable calculation... unless it's about me loving all of them yatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata "FOOOORSUUUUPEERREEEEAAAAARTH" yatatatatatatatatatatatatatataa

WIth the update to it's speed (750 rpm) and the addition of the 10% RELOAD speed boost (SHIP MODULE) I'd love to see your thoughts(video) on it's changes.

Supply back pack does not gives my heavy machine gun ammo?
I'm missing something?

This dude works for the democratic marketing departament, for sure!

Where are my gunners at?

Select the lowest rpm with the viper armor is so nice

Use the ammo pack

Guys, a tip on reloading. It has three stages. You can shorten those stages by canceling via diving, running, swapping weapons etc. 1st Mag comes out. Once it’s out, it’s out, so keep going. Crouch again and put mag in. Once it’s in, it’s not coming out. So move! Lastly new ammo goes in and rack the bolt. Good to go! You can pause 3 times to continue reloading this weapon. You do not have to stay still the entire time. Remember that! It can save your life.
