Helldivers 2 is a chaotic co-op shooter that challenges players to travel through hostile extraterrestrial environments and face off against powerful enemies. With a multitude of weapons to pick from and many more vehicles to come, it is a game that is both entertaining and evolving. This article looks at the new Helldivers 2 weapons and vehicles.
S-Tier Weapons
Quasar Cannon (Stratagem)
The Quasar Cannon is a massive laser blast stratagem that is best used against heavily armored enemies and structures. It has infinite ammo and doesn’t require a backpack, making it a battlefield warrior’s powerhouse.
SG-225 Breaker
The SG-225 Breaker is a shotgun that defies convention, offering precision and rapid-fire capabilities. Its impressive range and full-auto firing mode make it a formidable choice against both bugs and bots. It allows you to cut through swarms of enemies with ease.
PLAS-1 Scorcher
When facing the heavily armored Automatons, the PLAS-1 Scorcher is a must-have. This explosive energy weapon can take out shielded Devastators and Scout Striders with ease, making it an invaluable asset in your loadout.
P-19 Redeemer
The P-19 Redeemer is the ultimate secondary weapon, packing a punch with its burst damage. When you’re in a jam, pull out this machine pistol and fling a hail of lead on your opponents.
A-Tier Weapons
R-36 Eruptor (Democratic Detonation)
The R-36 Eruptor is a bolt-action rifle that fires explosive bolts, making it a versatile choice for destroying bug holes, Automaton fabricators, and even rogue transmission towers from a safe distance. Its medium armor penetration and generous ammo pool make it a formidable addition to your arsenal.
LAS-16 Sickle (Cutting Edge)
The LAS-16 Sickle is an energy-based assault rifle that trades infinite ammo for the ability to overheat. With its rapid firing rate and lethal damage output, this weapon is an excellent choice for cutting down Automaton enemies with precision.
JAR-5 Dominator (Steeled Veterans)
The JAR-5 Dominator is a high-damage assault rifle with medium armor-piercing capabilities, making it a solid choice against bugs and robots alike. Its recoil can be challenging, but when paired with a scope, it becomes a formidable precision weapon.
Vehicles and Mechs
While vehicles have yet to be officially confirmed for Helldivers 2, leaks and gameplay footage suggest that armored buggies and carriers are on the horizon. These vehicles appear to be Stratagems that can be called in during missions, providing much-needed mobility and firepower.
Exosuits, or mechs, are said to arrive “soon after launch.” These massive war machines were a staple of the original Helldivers and will undoubtedly bring their ferocious arsenal to the sequel as well.
As the Helldivers 2 experience continues to develop, expect brand-new weapons, vehicles, and challenges that will challenge players and push the limits of co-op.
