Helldivers 2 Brings Out the Big Guns for Automaton Eradication | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Helldivers 2 players are now fully committed to the assault on the Automaton homeworlds in a preemptive campaign of «defensive annihilation». The first waves met stiff resistance from the machines, and the entire situation was at risk of becoming a dangerous quagmire for the forces of Freedom. Thankfully, seeing the situation developing, Super Earth is bringing out the big guns, unlocking two new Support Strategems to provide the power needed to punch through all that armour.

Courtesy of the Ministry of Defence, the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun are now available for immediate battlefield distribution. The Heavy Machine Gun is marketed as a «very powerful but difficult-to-wield machine gun with intense recoil», and the Quasar Cannon «charges up to fire a powerful, explosive energy burst». It will take some time to determine the efficacy of each, but initial reports from the frontlines seem promising:

Bots plot large-scale attack, Super Earth responds proportionally

Forget 3 Body Problem, we have a multiple-Joel situation

With five years of experience as a freelance journalist and mercenary wordsmith, RPGs are his first great love, but strategy and tactics games are a close second, genres in which he is only too happy to specialize.

And Im hearing neither are actually any good..

@Ravensbane The Quasar Cannon is really good if you’re running with a well-equipped team. Can do a lot without needing to reload.

And here I am stuck on vacation. Happy Easter!

I like Stylosa's giddy enthusiasm, but in truth you have to work at using different weapons that suit you the individual I reckon. The amount of different Youtubers that think this weapon or that is better is varied. There's defo depth with loadouts considering
