I TESTED PEAK PHYSIQUE ARMOR AFTER UPDATE & ITS ACTUALLY INSANE - HELLDIVERS 2 BEST ARMOR PERKS

It really is insane. The medium MG feels like an assault rifle handling wise. My favorite bug weapon now

That's impressive, can't wait to test this out after I get off work. Thx for the vid!

Was running this armor against automatons just for the appearance, now I have another reason to use it!

Great video as always man.

i was sleeping on this armor! gotta test this out! appreciate the thorough showcase!

Wow, this is fantastic. And a great video representing the changes. Thanks!

The build I've had the most fun with (vs bugs) is SG-8 Punisher for main - Grenade pistol for second - Stun Grenades and Heavy Machinegun. The rounds reload of the shotgun makes it work like a secondary to the machinegun so well. You have an answer to all bugs since half a mag in a chargers butt will kill it. Just take whatever strats you prefer for bile titans and you can deal with anything.

Its a very good armor now for bugs imo. The 50% melee damage helps too for when the smaller bugs get close to you. I do however wish it also affected reload speed and weapon swapping speeds. I would say also recoil reduction would be nice but I do think that would be overkill.

Does this also help when you get hit by bots and flinch? That would solve my biggest issue with bots, ... missing 2 shots with plasma punisher because i got hit by millions of laser/missiles and the weapon just wont aim properly for so long.

I wish they would separate the armor from the traits and turn the traits in to a “gadget” or something so you can pick whatever you want to wear with whatever stat bonuses you want.

Now if we can get this effect alongside more abilities. Stealth plus Ergonomics would be fantastic.

I tested it against bots in the recent MO with weapons like Laser Cannon, AMR, Quasar... they all feel 1000% better now. Truly one of the best passives now.

Heavy MG is amazing with it, the recoil is still pretty nice while crouching

Looks really cool, but ... Would you switch out your CM-21 Trench Paramedic with the extra stims and heal time? I'm not really sure if I would ..? But will try it.

Curious...does Peak Physique affect the HMG Emplacement reticle too?

Snap, crackle pop! Can't wait to test this myself

I like the armor but can't stop playing stealth armor, I avoid taking agro a lot and when you crouch and you are in bush, enemies have really no clues. I will still use take it time to time for fun

I take this armour if I run with sluggish weapons like the ones you demonstrated. Otherwise against automatons I love "Fortified" perk due to the 50% explosion damage resistance. B-24 enforcer being a medium-heavy armour trivializes encounters where get directly hit by rockets. Against bugs having never ever bleed due to "democracy protects" perk seems more valuable than two extra stimpacks, or maybe I just hate tongue action of those damned hunters and stalkers.

For some reason im picturing a 'handy' drone backpack that you could select clip percentages on might be nice. ie - Less than 1/4 ; 1/3 ; 1/2 ammo remaining? This drone reloads for you or other players in close proximity if they're not actively using the weapon. You can also give it prioritization ; ie - Supports first / primaries second / secondaries third etc. / Team mates first ; self second Add a consent touchpad authorization so players who want to control their use of ammo extensively/self reload dont have to be bothered by the drone. ---- Also give it the ability to palm a secondary bunker button. (all drones should be able to tbh)

ERUPTORRR!!!!! also does this mean secondary weapons must be blinding fast
