This build is one of those that scales really hard inversely to the difficulty you're playing. Big Bertha + Magic Bullets feels like it stomps Haz 4 swarms and is fairly strong on Haz 5, but is revealed as utterly mediocre on Haz 6x2. Its weaknesses (actually dealing with HVTs) are really highlighted, while its "strengths" (generalist horde clear) aren't particularly valuable, and the build doesn't actually have too much stopping power. Nonetheless, if you're not planning on playing modded anytime soon I'd happily recommend this build, granted you took a slightly more ammo efficient Big Bertha build (i.e. 33112). It's also amusing that these two guns do together approximately what Neurotoxin Payload does, but worse.

    commentated audio is just as good if not better imo. makes it more engaging and informative!
  • @AdroSlice
    Big bertha kind of just turns the autocannon into what it should be at base tbh.
  • @ecbrd8478
    "basically nothing here" as you kite like half a haz5 swarm's worth of bugs behind you is pretty entertaining. I fear for the day that I'd get to that point if I were ever to start with all these modded difficulties
  • @luplex7567
    Dude, as a blue lvl 35 player with about 2 days in, i`m shocked to see this. This is sick and you can def learn from it even tho it’ll never be this extreme for me
  • I'm finally accepting my fate as a gunner main, as he seems to be what I play the most and enjoy the most. Even if I rarely play Haz 5 (I'm gonna, just not comfortable yet) and mainly stick to Haz 4, these guides are helping a lot with my journey to M1 holding and protecting people.
  • Thanks for the commentary! Really made the video enjoyable! Also very eye opening on what makes for high level gameplay.
  • really like your gameplay, the even spending of ammo to get the resuply is so refreshing on higher skill gameplay.
  • @SimplyBisk
    Unironically this is the only build I even use for the gunner except with a hell fire coil gun
  • @Marian_DRG
    Nice run. I like the commentary. Structure or not is not that important. I don't enjoy watching silent true solos a lot. Teams with comms is good and this was very enjoyable too. No need for really high effort content. Do you ever go for secondaries or machine events on true solos haz 6x2? Feels like a bit of a waste to completely ignore it when you have so much ammo to spare. Some secondaries like gunk seeds are a lot of work, but apoca blooms cost barely any time.

    feeding the algorithm (love your content)
  • @FederalPandas
    Could you elaborate a bit further on Big Bertha? I like it quite a lot as I feel killings things now as opposed to later is just stronger - naturally however I don't play in your insane level of difficulty 😅
  • I've heard a lot of folks dunk on the thundercannon for being inferior to missiles and minigun, but it's my favorite by far-- the aoe and damage you can pull with it is insane, you barely have to aim haha, glad to see it used well here! Do you think pairing splint shells with hellfire is better?
  • I just wish the other aspects of the autocannon got buffed. BB is fun and NTP is NTP, but otherwise it's just kind of meh compared to the other two gunner primaries. The notes under the "Kyzer's Autocannon Rework" mod comparing it to the hurricane kind of sums up what I mean. It's basically just outclassed in a bunch of ways, even including its main identity stuff like aoe clear and crowd control. I can only hope we get some stuff during the next maintenance update. Also that mod is the only relatively balanced rework mod I've seen as far as individual weapons go. Highly reccomend.
  • @niceshotd9130
    Hey what mod did you use to make the enemy disappeared so fast?
  • @NickMaovich
    my friends and randoms never understand why I am always jumping bhopping, so I stopped for a while. Was worst decision of my life lmao
  • @brandonkoh8361
    Damn is the autocannon hot garbage. This was 80% applying neurotoxin and running around and 20% big bertha. And when big bertha came out it just wasnt doing much.
  • playing with plasma burster missiles 11212 and triple tech coil gun 32223 it feels like your build for this mission can barely kill anything i have the feeling that the autocannon is the worst primary with barely any kill power, and with the lack of meaningful overclocks ive gotten for the revolver and brt, if there are any, those two are practically useless compared to all the crazy things the coil gun can do
