The Constellation Guide & Breakdown for Helldivers 2

God i hope it replaced the current system. Going against the jet brigade knowing what to bring helps so much. QoL change i hope comes soon

I really wish we had this info in the loadout screen, I had no idea this was predictable, I'll definitely be using this. A lot of equipment in the game is niche and just sucks against the wrong constellations.

ArrowHead is alergic to give basic info in their game aint they?

I've felt like certain planets favour bile constellations more. Like I've rarely seen bile constellations on Crimsica, I feel like.
But I didn't document it, it's just a feeling.

No wonder some defend high value missions had an absurd amount of dogs or titans seemingly randomly when I am dropping in on randos

I've gotten more information on Helldivers 2 from this channel than from Arrowhead.... And that speaks volumes about how Arrowhead runs their game. Thankyou Eravin ❤

i think it be a really neat idea to see the bots and bugs fighting..while we need to activate a nuke in the middle of the map.. to take them out

TLDR: it’s not random but it might as well be because it’s so convoluted that no one is going to remember any of this.

AH needs to make one of the future ship module upgrades show the constellations you'll encounter- that would assist in weapon balance as you wouldn't need to bring a generalist loadout to every mission but instead could vary depending on enemy type (for example the slugger is good against bile bugs but terrible when they arent present)

Cool info but its usually best to just go with a multirole setup to avoid problems with different groupings

How do you find out or dig for this stuff I'd die to learn the guts of this beautiful game

YOU KILLED A FACTORY STRIDER WITH A FLAMER

Man, watching these clips and seeing your shotgun just deflecting in nearly vid clip is absolutely hilarious. Totally no problem with the deflection mechanic. Totally nothing wrong with it at all... lol

Guess I'm sticking with the med pen primary/AT strat weapon combo just to be prepared for anything

I need to just tell us prior to launching the mission, this would encourage diversity in class loadouts greatly, Like Bile Spews I like to bring AMR or Grenade Launcher, and then Hunters light armor penetration weapons such as stalwart or incendiary breaker. Same goes for Bots, such as Heavy Devastators with their Shields are so annoying to hit, so Purifier has a good stagger with its explosion so it'll hit them behind their shields, Autocannon is also a good choice for them.

I'd love to get a "trainee honest mistake" modifier that just gives you random stratagems with only one rule : a stratagem can only be randomized in its category. Support for support, eagle for eagle...

I thank you for your service Field Marshal Eravin
VERA LIBERTAS

I actually love the jump bug constellation as a machine gun user.

Good stuff

I just want something like “Intel shows a high number of X unit in the area”. Just informing that there is a higher chance of this unit being present without telling us exactly. This avoids player having hard counters every mission but still letting us feel more like we’re making informed decisions.

Is there a chart somewhere that shows the potential seeds for each mission type?

There's always new players which is good but they often fly through the difficulties with a high rank friend that has to verbally teach him about strengths and weakness which can be exhausting to other squad members and alot to take in. I hope the community comes to these videos

Laser build is best build

You're always so informative. Thank you for your services, as there is no Helldiver's School/Academy to enroll in for this information.

just started playing 2 or so days ago and i love it so far, just learning about chapters/factions and im not sure if i should join one

I always make sure if i go in a mission i try to bring a blast based weapon like the eruptor or recoilless and a ballistic weappn to accompany it like a HMG or liberator

Do you have a place where all the infographics you made can be like... compiled as a chart? i deadass want this printed out next to my desk for quick reference.

bile spewer seed is the worst fucking shit there is in this game

Been waiting ages for someone to finally document this. It's such a nightmare when you land with Stalwart and all you see are bile spewers

I really wish they’d tell us what opposition is to be expected. It would really make it nice to know which weapons we could use and be more beneficial. Vs bringing the same load out everytime.

Give us a guide on different weapon combinations to be used on each constellation ranging from best to worst.

Been waiting on this one

I really wanted to watch this, but I cannot allow myself to watch an anime v-tuber, pass.

If anyone wants a very short summary for the bugs they can quickly reference, here:

ICBM missions: 100% green guys

Retrieve data: either green guys or heavy seed

Evacuation, geological survey, and flags: either heavy seed or yellow guys.

Eggs, refuel, and drill: either hunter seed or heavy seed.

Im gonna keep this on hand when i drop.

Implies our enemies can think and have a sense of military tactics, reported to fellow Truth Enforcers.
In all seriousness thank you so much, I know this took a long time to put together!

My outfit usually refers to this as "X planet". For example, we'd say a "Bile planet" or a "Devastator planet". Glad to know it wasn't just a hallucination.

So my strat of running 4 orbitals is poggers? hell yea

Don't certain planets effect this? I've noticed some planets have more bile bugs atleast, or maybe that's just for the chaff?

Thank you for the advice that I will forget in an hour

The names that were chosen were never my favorite. I prefer things that are more concise Heavies/Bile/Nursing/Jumpers and Striders/Bullets/Rockets/Melees since those are the things you use to ID the theme.

""Ah ok, I understand now!"
Me still in every single mission: AUTOCANNON

Why is AH allergic to giving us information

At this point, just always keep that senator on you

They should just add the information to the map screen at the start and loadout it would be easy.
"Orbital imagery reports masses of bile spewers at this location" and stuff.
But setting the constellations aside, I just hate how they spawn enemies as on top of you as possible without just popping up directly on you... anymore. They had to patch that out some time ago because it was too obvious. I'm quite certain the fix was to make them spawn 10m directly behind you instead. Saw a Bile Titan's leg pop in almost on top of me even after the patch so I know it's still happening even if they won't admit it. Helps that I play on an ultrawide monitor, can see more of that kind of dumb stuff, just can't do anything about it.

Good info, thank you. Bit bummed out by it though. :(
I had noticed the different enemy force deployment, but assumed it was planet based (not planet type - actual planet!) or in some other more varied logic, at the very least consistent throughout an operation. I guess it makes some sense for balancing that the constellations are linked to mission types, but it feels a bit underwhelming. I had hoped for some more personality. Whole planets getting a reputation in the community because of their unique and/or difficult enemy types. Malevelon Creek, but this time it's "oh my god all Bile Titans" hell. Weapon meta shifting depending on where you deploy, linking the myth of the planet to the tales of specific weapons. "I learned to love my MMG back on Vernen Wells."
Ah well, let's hope they build on the Jet Brigade concept.

That explains why I was getting 15 tanks every 2 mins thrown at me last night

Took me awhile to get this one together but it's finally here! In all honesty i'm getting low on ideas for this style of guide content so let me know the kinds of things you'd like to seen covered in detail on the channel! Thanks for watchin
