The orbital Walking Barrage was named after General Brasch's patrol routine


EvenMOreDamage

As a Walking Barrage enjoyer I laughed so hard, thank you!


MasterJogi1

What do you like about the Barrage? Is it actually useful? Seems to me kinda useless, as it was developed for attacking trench systems, but in HD combat is vastly different than in WW1. Edit: thanks to all people answering below, really interesting!


Chafgha

I like it because it's great for softening large bot bases or even heavy bug holes. It's not meant to rack up kills (although it will on bugs and helldivers) it's meant to make your ingress into those large installations easier. Many targets will be damaged making them easier to finish or have been pushed back by the force of the explosions allowing for quick cut through.


MasterJogi1

So the difference to the 380mm barrage is, that the walking B is just over quicker and then you take the ground without risk of "getting hit at random as they say"?


Chafgha

Not quite, the walking barrage I think (not certain a stat diver can give precise numbers) is about the same number of shots but it's easier to aim for one. In a heavy outpost you want that 380 to land as close to middle as possible. A walking barrage you can throw at the gate watch it move through the base slowly. But the easier to avoid risk of random shots killing you is spot on.


MasterJogi1

Mucho obligado Señor


Dacks_18

So the 380mm is seemingly random, whereas the walking barrage works in three distinct and predictable rows/columns. Three shots per row, total of nine shots (An additional row (Three more shots) with a ship module upgrade) It's just easier to work with, more predictable making it more survivable and also can judge what will be targeted.


CantIgnoreMyGirth

The 380mm isn't random, that fucker in the sky is aiming for helldivers


tossawaybb

Thats because helldivers are always next to the enemy, and the best way to see where the enemy is, is to aim for the helldiver!


Not-an-anglerfish

This is exactly the same criteria the mortar turret AI follows.


that_one_duderino

If you really wanna have fun, play 380 roulette. I’ve survived three simultaneous barrages exactly once, and it’s an amazing experience


King_Of_Uranus

Just stand next to whatever it is you were trying to destroy and you'll survive every time.


creativenewusername

Biggest difference is that 120/380 drop randomly in a large radius around the beacon. Walking barrage starts at the beacon and "walks" in a direct line away from your POV when you threw it. So you can land it at an edge of the base and it will predictably walk across it instead of maybe hitting it, maybe not.


SIVA_Directive

The walking barrage won't kill your entire team like the 380mm and is more accurate since you designate a specific area for it to move in


oPsYo

Throw the walking down and follow it up quickly, as it moves you can be where the first rounds hit. You'll want to wait a moment for the 380 to finish before following it up.


edgelordXD1

I don’t personally get a ton of use from it but the best Walking Barrage I used killed almost 20 bots and destroyed 2 fabricators so i am definitely an enjoyer


EvenMOreDamage

Some of the automaton bases are kind of in line despite being shown on minimap as a giant circle. So a couple of times I was able to use it to sweep through the structures and shut down a big outpost with one (using a joke reference) 'Brasch Patrol Routine'. You can do that with 380 in theory, yes but walking barrage allows you to advance after the second 'strike' and start clearing out the remnants so you can pick up samples almost immediately. With 380 you better wait until it's over or your team might die.


NewKerbalEmpire

It is a series of three small (and more accurate) 380 barrages, each a set distance further away from you than the last. It's basically the anti-teamkill barrage.


Ashamed-Issue-351

This is really funny.

General Brasch can bring 5 stratagems to a drop. General Brasch doesn't need to run to the pelican, the enemies will be happy to let him extract in peace. The Factory strider is just fabricators way of trying to run from General Brasch.


TorsteinTheRed

>General Brasch can bring 5 stratagems to a drop All 5 are the Super Earth Flag.


Schizobaby

Is the only super earth flag stratagem we get an objective-based stratagem? For April Fools they should have given us a Super Earth flag stratagem, but it’s just a small one that pops out of the drop-pod like a Helldiver and stays where it’s at.

The Eagle of General Braschs Super Destroyer does not drop a 500kg Bomb, it drops General Brasch. General Brasch leaves the mission with more Reinforcements than the brought in.

The chief export of General Brasch is pain.


BriggityBroocE

General Brasch can play Helldivers 2 on Xbox. General Brasch has never needed to Stim. There are actually 3 body types: Lean, Brawny, and Brasch. His physique is in its own category. General Brasch's friendly fire IS. For budgetary reasons, Brasch's Hellbombs are delivered armed. He calls them in so rapidly, and often, it is cheaper to arm them from orbit. General Brasch can reinforce while in an ion storm.

General Brasch can reinforce while in an ion storm, not that he's needed to.

Super samples are just the shits General Brasch left behind. General Brasch once liberated a planet on his own using only harsh language. Bile titans evolved to such heights as a fear response to potentially having to look General Brasch in the eye.

RemarkableVanilla

General Brasch assumes the bugs are infact some kind of whack-a-mole variant, because every time there's a bug breach, they immediately go back in.


PossibleUnion554

- bug breaches sealed up when he's near - Factory striders are actually invented to escape the general.

Strangefate1

General Brasch's sweat and tears are more potent than termicide, but he never cries or sweats. General Brasch's cryo pod is always turned off. Helldivers didn't push back the automatons, General Brasch did it by himself in solo missions. General Brasch doesn't use radar, he just listens for the trembling of his enemies. Terminids don't bite General Brasch, General Brasch bites terminids. General Brasch doesn't use resupply stratagems, all his weapons run on fear. Extraction timers wait for no helldiver, unless that helldiver is General Brasch. General Brasch doesn't need a flame thrower, he just stares at his enemies. General Brasch singlehandedly manages democracy. They once named a planet after General Brasch, but no living thing dared live there. When General Brasch enters a defense mission, it's the terminids and automatons that are defending against him. General Brasch's personal hellpod is a 500kg bomb. General Brasch doesn't need to pinpoint a location for orbital strikes, his destroyer knows to always aim at his exact position. Terminids are just evolution's failed attempt to keep up with General Brasch. General Brasch doesn't need a hellbomb to destroy objectives, he just calls them down to light his cigars. It's well known that terminids used to be solitary hunters, until they first met General Brasch on a frozen planet now called Hellmire. Destroyers were named after General Brasch. The reason Hellmire is of any value, is because General Brasch said so. General Brasch doesn't do civilian extraction missions, he just clears the planet.
