Helldivers 2 Grenade Launcher after Patch (Difficulty 10, Solo, Gameplay, Tips, Fun Facts)

Abstract:
Helldivers 2 Grenade Launcher GAMEPLAY on difficulty 10 SUPER HELLDIVE, SOLO against TERMINIDS.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MISSION.

Summary:
Testing the Grenade Launcher after it's buff: "Increased Explosion Radius". They didn't add any numbers, nor did I bother to calculate the actual radius increase. I do know that whatever the number was in theory, in practice the buff was massive. Enjoy the AoE king doing what it does best, even better after the patch! Oh yeah, and they gave it 50% more ammo. Video filled with ingame tips and life fun facts from your ICU-nurse content-creator as usual.

Loadout:
- LAS-5 SCYTHE: 350 damage/sec, 8 fire limit, 0 recoil. A pretty significant upgrade was given to this gun after the patch from what I understand. I have no idea wether it's a good buff though, this run was all Grenade Launcher;
- GP-31 GRENADE PISTOL: 650 damage, 1 capacity, 43 recoil, 900 fire rate. Fantastic tool to have to always be able to close nests and fabricators. Also great for when enemies are stacked up, like an Impact Grenade basically. Definitely try if you haven't yet;
- G-23 STUN GRENADE: stuns everything except Bile Titans for 4-5 seconds. Unfortunately can't close nests, which is what the GP-31 GRENADE PISTOL is for. Works phenomenally in tandem with the Grenade Launcher;
- CM-21 TRENCH PARAMEDIC: 536 speed, 2 extra stims, +2 seconds of stim duration. Very potent all-round armor piece. I prefer light armor because I enjoy the speed, also works great in medium and/or heavy armor variations. Fantastic combo with a Supplypack;
- GL-21 GRENADE LAUNCHER: the protagonist of this build (same as previous video), launches grenades. Had very little ammo but was buffed by 50% this patch, does an immense amount of damage. Once accustomed, the absolute AoE-King;
- B-1 SUPPLY PACK: bring 4 extra supplies with you at all times. Refill by looting from Resupply pod. Gives you the supplies when you do (+50%) AND ALSO gives you an extra one. Essentially meaning you can refill everything by just looting 1 resupply from the resupply pod;
- EAGLE 500KG BOMB: 3.45 sec call-in, 2 uses, 8 sec cooldown. Absolute jack of all trades after the patch, used to be mostly single target. The giant radius upgrade now also makes it waveclear capable though;
- ORBITAL PRECISION STRIKE: 3.45 sec call-in, 90 sec cooldown. Same function as the EAGLE 500KG BOMB.

Enjoy!

Kind regards,
Phacil
