Mount Gagazet in FFX, dude.

LETS GOOOOO!

Bro it’s the Gamuwusician!

I absolutely agree. It was so ahead of its time.

Hell, Kojima even saw AI hallucinations coming. I can't wait until Claude tells me he needs scissors, sixty-one.

Awesome list! Why MGS2 in particular?

"Climate change isn't real!" -Ozymandias, probably.

This was against the Illuminate Appropriators. Don't ask me about the accuracy.

This concludes my pitch for the G-6. Honestly, it's fun to just cut loose and be a little more free-spending with your usually-precious grenade supply. (They're great against Voteless as well, but I'd recommend G-142 Pyrotechs if you have 'em.)

Super Helldive proof that I don't suck:

The G-6 is also great for fabricators, since the greater number means you can drain more vent throws. It means you'll have to get closer than you would with Thermite/Dynamite, but if you like sneaking around as much as I do, that's less of a drawback. It shreds bot patrols pretty effectively, too.

Join my OnlyBots for more up-tread photos.

It can be tough in the heat of the moment to drain this shot, but one of the best things about bringing the G-6 is that you've got more if you miss the throw!

God bless Arrowhead for this: If you can get UNDER them, and blow out the three glowing yellow vents beneath and behind, this little weak point hatch opens up.

A grenade pistol won't work. Thermite is sticky. You need something non-impact and non-sticky...

That's right. One G-6 throw, and boom.

Railcannon Strikes won't stop them. Levelers won't stop them. They eat 500kg bombs for breakfast. You can even get crushed by the pilot's escape pod when they eject from the exploding body. RUDE.

This is a Vox Engine. It has missile launchers that fire top-down 16-round salvos, laser gatling guns that lock on and shred you in a 270 degree arc, and giant fucking plasma cannons that can one-shot you all the way from Toledo. It's also nearly-impervious to most weapon fire. Fuck these things.

METAL GEAR

That's one problem the G-6 can solve, but the second is way more fun: the most dangerous enemies in the game. You can use these spicy jalapeno poppers to dumpster the Cyborg Vox Engines. It's my favorite little trick in Helldivers.

The Germans called the use of these during WWI a war crime, which is Helldiver speak for "standard issue".

The SG-97 Sweeper from the new warbond makes a great pair with the Cremator to stop medium enemies like Hive Guards or Alpha Commanders. It's less-suited for Pouncers, Hunters, or Scavengers. You know what tears through whole groups of those? That's right, our little G-6 death balloons. Frag out!

Remember how the G-6 doesn't have the power or pen of the G-12? It makes up for it with AOE and fuse time. Taking a backpack support weapon usually counters heavies, leaving swarms as your biggest threat. Throw one at your feet and keep running to stop a close-chasing horde of Warriors/Hunters.

Here's a bug hole from Reddit. If you're dashing through a nest, and you don't have time to reload or take aim, chucking a G-6 takes only moments. You can also bank a throw in from odd angles that the GP-31 can't handle, like those uphill shots. 7 grenades can't clear a nest, but 11 combined can!

FLAM-80 my beloved.

The FLAM-80 Cremator is the breakout star of the most recent warbond; it absolutely roasts everything the bugs have to offer, and I'll do a separate thread on it if y'all would like. It needs a backpack, though, and taking the Crossbow or Eruptor leaves you open to chaff. G-6 Frags can help. A lot.

The usual answer is to take a supply pack. Fills your ammo, gives you stims, what's not to like?

Hey, there's a phone call for you, it's *every backpack-fed weapon* and they're very sad about being stuck with the Explosive Crossbow or Eruptor all the time.

There's another way: the G-6 frag.

Socialist society solves housing density crisis with this one simple trick:

Nothing feels as bad as forgetting to reload this thing before you pick up ammo.

Well. That's a problem. You wanna run into a Heavy Nest or Mega Nest with just this thing? You're gonna run out of ammo halfway through - and that's assuming you don't miss. The GP-31 has a weird firing arc that can sometimes make hitting bug holes on an upward incline pretty difficult. So what now?

Half the reason the Democratic Detonation warbond is recommended as the first to buy is because of this thing, the only (reasonable) tool capable of demolition in your secondary slot. It frees you up to use other grenades or weapons. Great for the Squids or Bots, but what about the Terminids?

Trick question, because we don't care about the damage - at least, not entirely. What we do care about is synergy, and how the G-6 solves a separate problem with another piece of widely-used kit in the Helldiver arsenal: the GP-31 Grenade Pistol.

The G-6 doesn't pack anywhere near the punch of other grenades, but it has one important advantage: numbers. With a max of 6 and a pickup count of 4 from supply boxes, you're getting back as many from a pickup as other grenades can hold in maximum. Does the lack of damage make up for it, though?

A dense collection of information designed to ward off potential dates.

I'm glad you asked. Let's take a look at the G-6's stats -courtesy of the Helldivers Wiki - and then talk about how it can save you a couple of major headaches in the present meta.

Costing only two medals from the very first page of the free warbond, the G-6 might literally be the first item you ever purchased in the game. At 500 explosive damage and only medium penetration, though, it does less damage and penetrates less armor than the default G-12 HE. Why use it at all?

A mouth-watering image of a densely-packed danger fruit.

Okay folks, I promised some #Helldivers content, so today I'm gonna talk to you about the two big problems that you can solve using a piece of incredibly-versatile kit that you probably haven't used since your first twenty hours of gameplay: the G-6 Frag Grenade. 🧵

Fellas, you ever decide to settle down and start a family, only to realize that you've been giving the business to a flowerbed that roofied you?

TIL not everybody can do this and I'm a mutant. Huh.
