Helldivers 2 Bolsters Arsenal with 2 New Stratagems to Combat Automatons

Helldivers 2 has received an exciting update from its developer, Arrowhead. The latest additions to the game's arsenal come in the form of two new Stratagems designed to aid players in their battles against the formidable Automatons and Terminids.

Introducing the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun

The first of the newly introduced Stratagems is the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun. Priced at 6,000 requisition, this powerful weapon boasts immense firepower but comes with the caveat of being challenging to wield due to its intense recoil. With a call-in time of three seconds, a cooldown period of 480 seconds, and the convenience of unlimited uses, the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun promises to be a valuable asset on the battlefield.

The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon

Joining the fray alongside the MG-101 is the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon priced at 7,500 requisition. It offers a unique combat approach by charging up and releasing a powerful explosive burst. Despite its lengthy cooldown period after firing, it presents players with an effective option against tough adversaries.

Like its counterpart, it boasts a three-second call-in time and unlimited uses. Arrowhead aims to address the game's challenge of combating the "Automaton horde" with these new additions. Notably, the Quasar Cannon is capable of taking down Automaton dropships. However, players are cautioned against engaging in snowball fights within the game, as they can cause crashes.
