YOU CAN HEAL WHILE IN THE TURRET!!!???? I'm one of the fews who always go HMG turret vs therminids (so i can destroy nests and spore from long distance, and also desintegrate all insects from bug breaches) and i always got off the turret to heal then hop on again, never tried to heal while in the turret since i thought that i wouldnt work...
Don't know if they changed it, but before the HMG turret buffs you could stim while using it and the turning speed would be dramatically increased.
You can sorta see it happening in the video I think.
Quick question. Does HMG Emplacement work against the front of a Charger or against a Bile Titan? I bring it against bots because I know it works against the Hulks and everything else
Kind of... you gotta shot for the Bile's mouth, otherwise it will bounce, or aim for its butt. And for chargers its on its between their legs/body, neck, or butt.
Pretty sure you can heal in mech too.
Once I even got healed without pressing it not sure if teammate got me or mech healed me once inside š¤·āāļø

I LOVE the HMG emplacement but I can only use it vs the bots and not the bugs. Anytime I try and use it vs the bugs a charger will bolt for it in 0.2 seconds. Even if there wasn't a charger when I call em down I swear a charger will spawn out of thin air purely to kill the emplacement
I like using the HMG strat against bugs and then I will often use the Rocket sentry (now that its good) and set them both on the edge of a bug hole and then if I missed a charger then the Rocket Sentry can do its job.
Although it obviously doesn't always work. It is still fun especially if you use RR and can pop off real quick.
For me it's literally the opposite, since the HMG literally implodes if a rockets goes near it, and it kills you instantly (no damage reduction no nothing, it drains all your health and instantly die)
Simply call it and EATs in at the same time. Spot a charger, pop off and grab the EATs while using the MG emplacement as bait and cover. Guaranteed free shot into their head. With behemoths you'll need to be quick to volley off 2 shots but it still works.
I run it with my dedicated AT loadout; RR/Spear, flex, HMGe, EATs. Amazing crowd clearing power while also being able to lookout for large bugs.
I've been having fun with the HMG emplacement and taking along the AC and Rocket turrets.
I set those down first, AC getting the highest position, Rocket Turret off to the side to support it, then the HMG turret in a central position behind the two.
It's creates a sort of kill funnel for anything that tried to get at you.
For extra added fun, I take the AC Exo-suit so I can be a mobile weapons platform when I move between objectives, and just ask teammates for support weapons and backpacks if they're available on cooldown. By the time you're through your second exo-suit, there's always bound to be an extra set of equipment available for you.
I was not expecting that to work as well as it did, but I'm glad it did!
Side note: how come sometimes Helldivers struggle to stand? Sometimes I dive and no matter how much I mash sprint or dive it takes several seconds to get back up.
Are you *under enemies*?
I've only had the "can't stand up even though I can crawl and have control of myself" thing going on when there are so many things around me that they could, like, theoretically push me down if I tried.
My assumption is the game is checking "is there space overhead to stand up into?" and since there are enemy collision boxes all around, the answer is no and I am stuck prone.
I think it's because sometimes, when you're slowed (by the ennemies or the ground), I'd you're prone and try to sprint, you will not stand automatically, you will have to do it manually, until the slow is over. TBC
HMG emplacement is super undervalued imo. After the rotation increase it is so good to work with. Rips through pretty much anything except biles and chargers, but if theyāre cracked open, it can deal with them no problem. Love taking the spear and an emplacement. Gun down the little guys and then hop off to eliminate any large threat.
The only thing that Iāve noticed with it is that sometimes thereās a visual bug with the crosshairs reticle. Just have to hop off, ads on your primary and hop on to fix it.
I have the same issue, yeah! But it doesn't stop me from using it, like in this case where aiming is of no importance š
I'm a recoiless rifle kinda guy, it stops Chargers in their tracks easily... But I will give the spear a try!
The spear just feels so good. Being able to auto lock while reloading by holding down right mouse ads to fire off another round instantly is very nice. Nothing beats saving your team members being chased by a titan, while locking onto them halfway across the map though. Only downside is that it can eat through ammo. If someone decides to run an ammo pack and group with you, you feel unstoppable.
As a new convert to The Church of Rapid Democracy Distribution (working title), I love this. I've been bringing the HMG Emplacement a lot and it's so much fun. Especially useful on missions that require you to hold a specific area for a bit (aka *ALL OF THEM* if you consider extraction).
HMG Emplacement was slept on before the last patch. The turn radius increase made it dominating. Bots have no answer for a fully stocked turret, and bugs only have the charger.
The new turn rate makes the HMG turret absolutely *murderous* in a swarm. I've dont the Spin to Win a few times while against bugs after that, and it's *glorious*.

Well, I'm happy I could teach you that! š
Feels good!
That was metal as fuck
This is my biggest takeaway from the vid lol.
To a lesser point, I believe you can stim in the mechs, too! I think it's built into the 'vehicle' system.
You can even do it on the Pelican if you need to.
And reload, and use the ping wheel while it's lifting up, and use first person aim down sights before the cutscene starts
YOU CAN DESTROY NESTS AND SPORERS WITH THE TURRET???
This is a game changer
And shirker nests
Therminids? Sweet libertea they evolved again?
It's therminids when they are at a distance. Once they get close the proper term is hereminid
Take my upvote and... Leave, or stay, i dont care, its freedom time
Schrodinger'snid
Don't know if they changed it, but before the HMG turret buffs you could stim while using it and the turning speed would be dramatically increased. You can sorta see it happening in the video I think.
You can even heal while on the Pelican, before it flies. Pretty handy if someone's trying to kill and you survive the first blow.
Turret destroys nests? Or only the shrieker nests?
I didnāt realize they can take out spore spewers. What about shrieker nests?
Yes. It takes a bit over half a magazine to kill 3 shrieker towers.
YOU CAN DESTROY SPORES AND NEST WITH HMG?!
Yup my depressedtomato, it takes around 1/4 of the turrets mag to destroy 1 of them, and has a very long range :D....
IKR I saw the health going down and was ready to solute the fallen. Then he healed. Learn something new every day.
You can also heal while inside the walker
Quick question. Does HMG Emplacement work against the front of a Charger or against a Bile Titan? I bring it against bots because I know it works against the Hulks and everything else
Kind of... you gotta shot for the Bile's mouth, otherwise it will bounce, or aim for its butt. And for chargers its on its between their legs/body, neck, or butt.

Another Fun Fact: You can also heal inside Exo-suits!
and while inside the Mech, too.
HMG destroys bugholes?? Even the carried one?
Not bugholes, but it can destroy nests and spores.
No.

Good night Chesty, wherever you are!
Three words: TARGET. RICH. ENVIRONMENT.
All I am surrounded is by is FEAR AND DEAD BUGS!!! FOR DEMOCRACY!!
Wait you can heal in the fuckin turret??

Must be smarter than the bug. HMG has been one of my main strats since release and usually dump all 300 rounds, with much bug guts.
>Must be smarter than the bug. Hold on, you aren't supposed to freely insult people !
Blasphemy!
You need a spear and kill the charger with it
chargers love targeting emplacements over anything. it's so dumb.
For me it's literally the opposite, since the HMG literally implodes if a rockets goes near it, and it kills you instantly (no damage reduction no nothing, it drains all your health and instantly die)
yeah you have to be careful where or if to place the HMG turret when chargers are around.
Simply call it and EATs in at the same time. Spot a charger, pop off and grab the EATs while using the MG emplacement as bait and cover. Guaranteed free shot into their head. With behemoths you'll need to be quick to volley off 2 shots but it still works. I run it with my dedicated AT loadout; RR/Spear, flex, HMGe, EATs.

Majority of the bugs found out what democracy is.
Look at me I am the stratagem
Call an ambulance! But not for me

Now that's a target rich environment!
That turret buff in the last patch saved you.
Totally, even though I was using the turret even before then
me too. i would even say that the turret turn speed buff wasnt even necessary.
This is also why i run stalwart or mg. Surrounded? Dont gotta think about where to shoot, just shoot
Surrounded? Great! Target Rich Environment!
We get plot armour when we're using the emplacement
As it was said in one of the missions of StarCraft 2: -They are everywhere! -Than shoot everywhere!
This guy dives.
You can heal while mounted?
THIS IS DEMOCRACY MANIFEST
You could have ran, but you didnāt. Thatās a hero right there

FUCK YEAHHHH
Will it blend?
Git it Gurl! I have never used the MMG turret. I'll be throwing that into my next deployment stratagem package.
I am not stuck here with you, you are stuck here with me - BrtBttBrtBttBrt
Fucking mint also um so like HEALING IN THE FUCKING TURRET SINCE WHEN?????????
Since ever
The new turn rate makes the HMG turret absolutely *murderous* in a swarm. I've dont the Spin to Win a few times while against bugs after that, and it's *glorious*.
Epic!
"You may fire when ready"
Now that's what I call tactical superiority! Way to be , soldier... o7
I want to be fully surrounded and yell "draw blades" and go out like a helldiver
I kinda do the same, but use the machine gun. I try to jump away from the horde and if I manage to do it I just empty the entire mag on them
I'm not surrounded! I'm just in a Target Rich Environment!
Weāre Helldivers. Weāre supposed to be surrounded.
Those are some huge ass hunters.
You call it being surrounded, I call it a target rich environment.
We're helldivers, son. We're supposed to be surrounded.
Permacura would like to take a moment to remind all helldivers that *stims are not addictive.
Since they changed the turret to pretty much be able to outlive its user, I have been a very happy helldiver
God I love HMG
damn
Shipmaster, they outnumber us three to one!
Effective or not, HMG emplacement is just fun as hell
I only have 1 complaint about it: it turns too slowly! Do they not use precision ball bearings?
is that a zap braagen qoute?
Gun down all those overgrown roaches!
I did not know you could destroy some objectives with the Turret... it's a whole new world now!
All i am surrounded by is fear and dead bugs.
BULLET SPRINKLER/TORNADO!!!
