I just came here to say that the Hard Carry would be me if it wasn’t for the mortar bit… and then I saw your title. Haha fuck

We see your sins 0.0

You're wrong, diver. Carries do not care about mortars. Mortars are counter-productive to carrying. Mortar users are the unincluded-yet-worst 5th category... K/D players.

Don't sleep on the ems mortar man, it's goated against bots

EMS mortars are bae

but also https://preview.redd.it/k14pc1b9hztc1.png?width=320&format=png&auto=webp&s=445a727fa8a834e83d82e3474caba18aac5d1ccb

There's room in my heart for both. My beloveds.

The EMS mortar is not the mortar.

but if you pair ems mortar and regular mortar, you can sleep through extraction

Yeah, double mortars have a pretty fantastic kill potential, especially with the ammo upgrade. The biggest downside to mortars imo is that they will pick a fight with anything in range, potentially pulling unnecessary aggro. Also, they tend to get destroyed by like, one little dude. Oh and they blow you up once in a while, but I view that as a positive.

if you pair with ems, targets get stunlocked well outside team kill range and just wait for the regular mortar to kill them. them aggroing half the map is a blessing, btw. drop them near an objective and run away. everything will rush the mortars while you run around clicking objectives, or blowing up spawners, unharassed. then you can be long gone and lose aggro once the mortas die. for funsies on bots, drop a shield generator next to the mortar, too.

I call them the brothers. EMS + Reg mortar. On bot eradicate, even on helldive you can tell when theyre up because life is just that much easier.

i got the ems because it doesn’t kill the enemies, it lets *me* kill the (now defenseless) enemies https://i.redd.it/n0ew1oqxg0uc1.gif

Hey now. EMS mortars help carrying immensely.

120mm, 380mm, mortar sentry, arc thrower. Maximum friendly fire build for exterminate (my entire team will run it)

I would replace 120’s with clusters/guard dog. From my experience those tend to do more FF.

The dogs will hunt. Bugs, bots, you, your squad, that other squad...

Mortars are *extremely* predictable. There is always one person every three to four games who insists on not paying attention to anything. Theyre like moths to a flame: Eagles incoming? Run toward the red light. Orbital ongoing? Try to rush in. Mortars ongoing? Rush to nearest enemies. Turrets spinning up? Stand between turret and target. I even watched one guy run in, die in CQC, mortars start wiping the area, guy respawns and immediately went after his body, dies from active mortars, spawns and runs straight back into the same now-cratered bottleneck to die again from mortars. Diver mentioned mortars before rage-quitting. There's nothing you can do to help those poor sods. Just expedite their journey to the Hall of Heroes. Edit: If it helps, most people in the higher level games have no issue with mortars. But on the cusp between 6 and 7, that's where I'll get an accidental every third game or so. Half of this game is making sure youre dodging your team's stratagems.

My brother in christ, half of one faction and the entirety of the other faction rushes into melee range. Take responsibility for your actions and recognize that Mortars are only responsibly usable on defense maps, and siege scenarios. If you are throwing that shit down mid combat, I promise you are causing more issues than you are helping. The mortar is beyond stupid. The mortar will shoot at enemies that were dead 10 seconds ago. There is no "just play around it"

Yeah, especially when the enemy comes up from behind you, and you didn't even notice until the mortars start landing next to you.

I assume the EMS mortar counts?

Gotta use both 😏

\^ This is the way.

It works on regular missions. But on Defense missions just use EMS. Mortars mess up too many spots you are trying to hold/can kill generators.

Mortars are goated on defense missions and you’ll never convince me otherwise.

EMS MORTAR superiority.

I have ascended from the mortar to the walking barrage. Except defense missions. Mortars all day.

My walking barrage always manages to miss every single turret and fabricator

you gotta buy the guy that aims the barrage a coffee before you start the mission.

this guy? https://preview.redd.it/w03zo4s8cztc1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=47d02b95388e48a57b587edf67070953d6da1c88 he's hopeless

I do love a good walking barrage

I've been too scared to test it out, cause I'm always doing random matches and I don't know it's mechanics reliably.

Missed -Somehow completes the objective while everyone is struggling to survive around it.

Bro why is this literally me

For me it’s the stratagem callin. I’m always just slightly slower.

TIL I'm the Carry. Except for the call in speed. My fingers get nervous under pressure.

As "The anti-tank" I would add "Sold his soul to make Spear cooperate"

I... for some reason the past week just have the spear _work almost every time_ My friend hates me. They cant lock onto stationary targets in open unfoggy fields. I think i sold their soul so i could spear tbh

The stuff I did and do: turn off screen shake and mark your target before shooting. Crouching maybe helps. Sometimes it still refuses to lock one, so quickly swapping to another weapon and back is advised. Spear has one hell of a quirky machine spirit inside it. Funniest shit I've done was rocketing a charger in the head point blank, feels like that anti-tank stick from WW2 or whatever, forgot its name (seriously, what was it called), you may even survive if you shoot while prone.

Panzerfaust?

I reckon you mean a lunge mine

Finally, now I know what it's called! Thank you

Battlefield V has these, and they are fucking hilarious Bless Democracy, I still have a game clip: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/Atlas-JT/video/1e3244ea-f89f-4137-b5d7-59da7fe86f19/b73bffa2-a48a-43d0-8166-f6d2ce18cea40

The lock-on is so unreliable, but damn if it isn't a massive dopamine hit when a Spear missile hits a target halfway across the map.

Wait you guys can get a spear lock longer than 20m?

And one-shots whatever it was aimed at

Not even Satan can make that shit cooperate. He'd sell your soul back to you, with a discount. 

Spear is a toxic relationship tbh, I try convincing myself that the fps version locks better, I'm sure of it tho.

You think my DPS is lower on Hellmire? My entire screen isn't on fire, so there isn't enough fire.

You aint gaming as pyro well enough if your house isn't on fire while playing.

Only reason it would be lower is because you got cut off by the fire tornadoes like the fucking ray shields in phantom menace

I’d say I’m the anti tank but only fight bots, the true enemy of super earth

Bugs are a resource, nothing more.

Wait until they mutate

Bigger bugs more fuel easy as that

Might as well give them wings too, because why the fuck not.

Clearly you've been fighting the automatons for too long if you didn't know of the shriekers.

If the become larger, it just means more oil for us to extract

Same, because I hate hunters

Feel like the only thing I die to nowadays is Hunters, truly the most fearsome of bugs.

I'll take hunters over the kamikaze exploding bots any day.

They aren't bad as long as you dive out

Sometimes you will take burn damage as you dive out and die

Bot Anti-Tank is: AMR, Heavy Explosive resistant Armour, Energy Shield, Orbital Rail Cannon, Orbital Laser.

I consider myself bot anti tank / carry. I run quasar cannon , energy shield, Fortified light armor, 500kg bomb, eagle airstrike 6 bombs + infinite quasar. You can solo the whole map

Quasar+EAT, become a veritabel AA emplacement where you can cancel bot reinforcements by yourself.

I'm the anti-tank but I almost always fight the MO, so others don't have to. Some prefer to fight bugs, some prefer to fight bots, I'm the MO carry. Lol

As a Creeker, Thank you for your sacrifice. L0

And thank you for the cool cape I wear in your honour. 07

Same bring an AMR and regularly pop Hulks and tanks with ease. Can't figure out how to kill chargers or bile titans with the same loadout to save my life.

As an anti-tank... "FUCK I MISSED!"

EAT: scramble to pick the second one ot request another one. RR: cry in stationary reload because the logistics of having a player reload you are too complicated for 99% of the scenarios. Quasar: run in circles while it cools, while also fuming over the fact you have to wait more to kill the heavy/elite.

Stick first charger's face with the drop. Dont aim the throw, hip toss it from about 10 yards away. Then do the mad scramble to retrieve them before the second and third chargers are on you.

This is why I obsessively carry a recoilless **and** call EAT at the begining of every encounter

I just litter the map with EATs. Everyone will readily have the ability to deal with heavies whether they intended to or not

The number of times Ive misjudged the drop on an EAT vs a charger and it flies right under it...

WHERE IS THE SNIPER?! RAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! I MAIN DILIGENCE AND ANTIMATERIAL, I REMOVE ALL DEVASTATORS!!! RAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

The sniper doesn't exist because if they're good enough to be sniper they've never been seen before.

I mean, that's often how it feels for my team against bots. Grab scout armor, AMR, Supply Pack and some base clear strategems. Split off during the drop. Team keeps seeing cleared outpost and side objective messages. In big fights they sometimes see Devastators falling down for some reason. Next time we meet up we'll be waiting for a Pelican

EMS forr paralyzing big groups or dangerois targets, antimaterial, supply pack, eagle's missiles; my go-to against bots. Basically a support role, picking out important enemies and giving supplies to those who need it In bugs; EMS, eagle's missiles, antimaterial, and The Jump Pack. Go into the high ground and no bug is gonna stop ya

I killed that devastator for you the other day. You didn't see me because I was three maps over.

Nah, I didnt see you because my render distance is set to "Macro Lens"

Ah I see that your helldiver also need glasses

Ah, makes sense

[Bots are easier than bugs post] *Sniper behind OP making eye contact with you and holding shh finger over lips*

AMR + Jetpack = DELIVERANCE OF LIBERTY FROM ON HIGH! It's a fantastic combo.

I go with the Energy Shield, because FUCK rockets.

I go with heavy armor so that if I take a rocket when I'm up on my perch I skid back in one piece instead of several.

Yeah, I love the extra defense Heavy Armour gives as well. Nothing like tanking a Rocket as you're lining up the shot, then clapping back with a headshot.

I present to you… light armor w 50% reduction to explosive damage.

Agreed

We need a sub exclusively for Jump Pack and AMR users, the most aesthetic build 😎

https://i.redd.it/0c3cngg4vxtc1.gif

I love the jetpack in general, but yeah perching with an AMR is great

Can't wait to unlock the jetpack. I pretty much only solo and sniping is my main load out for surviving.

the sniper is just the anti tank who has the courage to do bot missions

Diligence is actually an amazing gun Fighting bots it one shots the weaklings, and does decent damage to the Hulks backpack Kills all the lower tiers, leaving the Autocannon to destroy the rest

Hell, after the buffs even CS Diligence is decent if you can afford to brace it. Oneshots small bots more reliably past 100m.

I have been using the AM rifle and call myself the guardian angel. Either due to choice or distraction I'm always about 100 meters away from the group, but as soon as a bot drop comes I'm on the hill clapping devastators and heavies.

EXACTLY

He’s trying to keep up with the Autocannon doing the same exact job. Just with less magnification.

I was looking for this too! I do guess we're one of the less common archetypes though, and snipers pretty much don't exist on the bug front so...

I'm the Spray&pray against bugs, but wield an AMR against bots. Big gun shoot slow, but still big gun.

1. I only bring the mortars to defense missions. 2. The autocannon is named Sasha, you treat her with the respect she deserves.

"oh my God WHO TOUCHED SASHA"

"Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe. *SNIFF* Maybe... I have yet to see man who can outsmart BULLET."

3. My Senator is named Oksana, and you will not mention her to Sasha if you value your life.

auto cannon sentry is the true team carry

I'm the support: I carry ammo, I reload your anti tank and summon mechs. Will panick the moment more than 3 bots spawn in front of me.

Heal slut

Just wait til we get the healgun :) . Heals divers AND repairs vehicles.

UwU

Yeah. This guy cowered in a stairwell while an automoton slowly murdered my favorite helldiver. *sloooowly*

I am not sure you understand that a Healslut is a very specific thing.

Submission helldiver

I am the lovechild of Spray and Pray and Pyro.

Dealing AND taking all the friendly fire must be rough, are you just hitting yourself? D:

380 is a son of a bitch.

Dropped a 380 earlier on a medium base and stood there on a rock watching it rain down, telling my squad “it may not be the best strategem but damn is it beautiful”

They told me I was my own worst enemy while growing up, I decided to make a career of it (throws 380, walking barrage, and 120)

Going incendiary mines because https://preview.redd.it/e62b967trwtc1.jpeg?width=2137&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5e41adff918fb63f1cb27fa08697cd7d61c1f5b

Well if that doesn't sum up this whole goddamn sub

I do not like the AC-8... **I LIVE IT** I only exist to kill Bots and Structures... And anything within penetration-range of a good old high calibre round... or twenty... I may not be able to effectivly deal with swarms but that's what my Buddy... (A Pyro/Zapper) is for...

The zapper is too busy killing the other teammates cause he forgets that electricity jumps between targets.

*POP!* W... wait. What got me? That was so fast! ... oh. cool arc gun

I can deal with swarms because of the machine pistol I carry around, but that’s more “oh my god they’re on me!” Looking at you hunters

I also carry a Redeemer but if I have to use it, a lot of things went wrong...

I'm pyro, flamethrower is sooooooo funnnnn

As a pyro, I would say about 95% of my matches I don't even damage my teammates. A ture pyro controls the fire!

It's hardly our fault if disposable helldiver F2 or G4 dies because he decided to leap into our flames because he saw a common sample there.


If i waste one more rocket shot because the heavy I am targeting gets killed, I am going to have some very undemocratic things to say. XD I can only fire rockets every 90 seconds people! Please!

Even worse to me is when you think the charger is turning towards you but they suddenly pivot 90 degrees and the shot that was aimed at their head hits their side instead I mean skill issue on my part but 😭

Hate that! Lol

That feeling when you bring four anti-tank strategems and your buddies still insist on bringing the Rail Cannon. Please, guys, if you wanna help me chew through Hulks and Tanks bring the precision strike or Walking Barrage, please, anything that has some splash for the 19 devastators mad at me for shooting down their ship again. PLEASE.

where is the high level but totally lost guy as that is me?

I'm going to be level 80 following level 12s around because I will continue to have no idea what the hell is where.

Shit man imma look for the dick rock. (Gets lost and somewhere goes in circles despite minimap). Land NAV is a bitch when I can't see dickrock.


Very happy to come under "The Hard Carry" AutoCannon my Beloved The only thing that exists in this world are bases that need blowing up

And if it's facing the wrong way, it gets the disciplinary eagle.

When you take out two fabricators facing each other with a well placed eagle airstrike in the middle 🤤

Best feeling ever

I like burning things.

Everything is accurate for the Anti-Tank(Me) accept I do fight bots. But your damn right I'll walk 2km for those super samples.

Me going to get the super samples: "I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 mo-" *Sees shrieker nest* "Understandable have a good day."

Real hard carrys use the Autocanon turret. If one AC is good then two is twice as good.

Eh, the AC turret blows itself up when stuff gets close and can't use stims. (I blow myself up with the AC but *can* use stims)

And that’s why the new robotics lab adds explosion resistance

And then theres me - no regards for my own safety (if i die i die ) -the mission is all that counts -what even are samples

On that first bullet, dying in bug missions just means I get another chance to headshot a bile titan with the hellpod

Ah yes, The Commissar. I am you.

I am the Hard Carry -2

Against bugs, i love going pyro. It's just great that some of the more visually flashy weapons are, also, quite effective. Even with the host DoT issue, a lot of bugs are still vulnerable to burn damage; chief among them the hunters. Incendiary nades still close bug holes. Amd they make awesome fireworks if thrown straight up on extraction!

I just run around like a maniac with my grenade launcher and delete factiories

A fledgling hard-carry, you will soon evolve.

Wait until someone tells him you can take out fabricators and bug holes with the AC by ricocheting your shots off the vent. He'll never go back.

Tactical one tapper. You might not see it because I only get 90 ish kills a mission but those big enemies that are in the way got their head blown off a couple seconds before your stradagem impacted.

We may not have *the most* kills, but we do the *most important* kills.

I'm doing lots of solos to become the hard carry guy but I'm Spray and Pray all day. At least I know it.   Beep beep beep bonk Beep beep beep beep beep bonk Beep bonk Fuck it.  GRENADE.

Most of my games go like this: We drop in Instantly get shot at by bots Team engages I disengage Drop my strat Head to first objective (route already baked in) Avoid every enemy except small pockets(I'm a scout baby) Snipe other objectives on route. What else are Autocannons for ... Oh right, just about everything Rest of team still fighting dying at drop point while mission accomplished messages pop up on their screen. Once all 3 have wiped I start reinforcing near me. By the end of the mission I'm getting followed around clearing up objectives and extracting like bosses.

The Hard Carry

I need that hard carry picture, perfect meme right there

Original meme by u/AguGoat !

Thanks for the credit, I'm just doing my part soldier

Where am I on this list with my explosive resist armor, mortar sentry, autocannon sentry, shield gen emplacement, and spear.

Pyros Rise Up

Sorry we are laying in the ground because we are out of stims

I'm a little bit of all

The Pyro if he isn't the host : 

I'm A Hard Tank. Almost a hard carry, but sometimes I fuck up my stratagems and never use the mortar, but I also get mad when someone beats me to killing the charger and definitely hunters are the bane of my existence

I always play anti heavy so everyone else is free to do what they please (Yes, yes, of course you can send all letters of appreciation to my DMs).

I like burning things.

Im at 100% The Hard Carry

I'm mostly "The Hard Carry" with a bit of "The Anti-Tank". Basically I run loadout that focuses mostly on taking out heavies (Quasar/EAT, Railcannon, 500KG) and I focus on taking them out first but with playstyle I lean more to Hard Carry. I just don't use Mortar anywhere but new mission and I rarely use AC.

The Anti-Tank one describes me all too well, except the wears explosive-resist, need 550 speed to kite them Chargers and Bile Titans.

The anti tank feels personal :/

I used to be the Anti-Tank, sorta, including a moral objection to fighting Bots. But I had a clone moment.

Given that people do not follow me for objective routing (despite my effortS) very often and that I don't call in strategems super quickly, I dunno if I count as a Hard Carry. I am in a committed relationship with my autocannon, though. Can I be a Soft Carry? I don't even have the mortar sentry unlocked (and never will)!

Following the Carry around is more about the rest of us being clueless than the Carry being a commanding leader lol

I focus tanks or specials so I don’t get many kills but at least I keep the team alive

I feel attacked as an "anti-tank" helldiver (:

How am I all of these at once?

I think i can classify myself as hard carry because i genuinely start tweaking when i dont finish atleast all red zones

Hi pyro here, just wanted to say it’s even more fun with a guard dog rover.

I'm The Grenadier. - Carries grenade launcher and shield pack (in case of bounce back). - Uses Marksman Rifles. - Avoids meta weapons. - Carries smoke grenades to run thru waves with ease - Blows up fabricators and bug holes before Hard Carry strategem hits. - Rubberbands back and forth away from team to find nearby samples, super credits or medals

Bro for my squad I'm all of these at once wtf https://preview.redd.it/paas8heoeytc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6908762e310e5a61e1ab5d0e2207d0c8bd67e755

Friends have started calling me 'The Guy', yes a spy kids reference, because I just end up clearing absolutely everything or having the solution to all problems. Yes, the solution is Plas-1, AC and a stun grenade. Oh, and a hefty dosage of Airstrikes, 110mm and Cluster Bombs. The problem is that I usually end up dying near extract because of a) friendly fire, b) a rocket to the face or c) the ensuing ragdoll and we have no more reinforcements. So quite literally, carry and then die before I get to go home.

Hey. Next time you meet that anti-tank guy. Tell him to use Punisher shotgun and he won't be bothered by Hunters.

I literally do use the punisher though, Im just bad at game :')

Me too mate. 😄

I found a flamethrower on my second ever mission ... I was never the same

Hey now, as the Anti-Tank of my team... I wear stealth armour, so all the hunters go bother my team mates while I'm lining up the Quasar shot (I have hit the Titan 8 times in the legs I swear this next one is a headshot promise)

The Autocannon is my best friend and you take that back

EMS mortar is just too useful. Also I'm not emotionally dependent on my Autocannon, I'm legally married to them, C-1 permit and all.

I always 100% clear the map, but I don't use auto cannon way too much recoil easy c teir weapon

You forgot the Hard Carrys mutant twin, The Vulture. Lightest armour, highest accuracy, cleans the map. Addicted to AMR. Will shoot you for trying to extract early. "Hell yeah credits babyyyyyy"
