A highly requested Breakdown of one of Helldivers 2's most powerful primaries. This weapon has been a staple of my collection since I unlocked it all the way back in the first week!

    Likely my most information dense breakdown thus far thanks to all our advancements in research at the Ministry of Truth! The style may feel a bit different then what you're used to and we are looking for feedback so be sure to let us know what you liked or didn't like about the changes! As always my favorite comment from this video will be featured in the next! Have a great day everybody!
  • One of my friends recently bought helldivers 2 and he absolutely loves the scorcher, he loves it so much that every time I have the scorcher equipped I let him kill me so he can pick it up and use it throughout the mission.
  • @JohnDoe-jd8oo
    “California Compliant” this right here is why I’m subscribed. That’s golden.
  • @therustydm5310
    The scorcher helped me break into harder difficulties initially. It’s such a solid weapon and very forgiving against bots
  • It better be one of the best. It cost the most medal out of all the other warbonds.
  • @vokkera6995
    The scorcher is so good, but I’ve swapped over to the dominator myself. It really just boils down to whether you’re wanting to deal with chaff and striders vs devestators, berserkers and heat sinks. Both do everything, but specialize accordingly
  • @Hexblithe
    I personally think that everything about this video is solid! I am a Scorcher-enthusiast and I hope it won't get nerfed. Happy too see you're still doing Brasch Tactics at the end of your videos!
  • Ahh, the scorcher. The one gun in the game that has generally not felt like it needs a buff nor nerf except for that part where it really does kinda need a buff to ammo economy. Just feels very good until you happen to be out of mags a bit earlier than you should have been sometimes.
  • @Driftingsiax
    I know it was a joke, but 15 shots isn’t CA compliant, sadly the CA limit is 10.
  • You have to pry the plas-1 from my cold, dead, slightly exploded hands
  • Ive always loved plasma weapons... Some may tell from the pfp. Either way when I saw the scorcher i knew I had to have it and I B lined to get it. I was not disappointed when I got it and I will continue to use it until a worthy plasma weapon replaces it.
  • @Odog78
    The buff to the walkers has made the scorcher much weaker for me.
  • I like to pair the Scorcher with the Grenade Launcher and Supply Pack against bugs. They have surprising synergy. The GL is unreliable against Chargers, while the Scorcher pops them in only a few quick shots. The Scorcher is lacking against groups and Spewers? Well good think I've got a bunch of far-reaching explosives! And of course the supply pack means both of those ammo hungry weapons never run out. The only blind spot this loadout has is Titans, but that's something that is easily fixed with everyone's favorite big bomb.
  • @morgan3392
    The Scorcher feels like the golden standard that all primaries should be balanced around. It's so reliable but not overpowered, with notable drawbacks. Hopefully, once things are balanced up, the Scorcher winds up middle of the pack purely through buffs of underpowered weapons.
  • @HarryVoyager
    Was going to leave a like at the California Compliant quip, but I'd already left a like earlier... YouTube, need multiple likes now!
  • @saltire_2825
    I was waiting for an episode like this, this is my go-to against the bots.
  • @Suhayl_Khatib
    Lol idk why I thought you were doing a breakdown on the purifier.
  • @Renesansakaalex
    Titan can be killed by Scorcher if you manage to strip some armor from titan's back. After that only 5-7 shots near head and its done.
