Helldivers 2, the cooperative shooter renowned for its intense battles and strategic gameplay, has unveiled its latest update, introducing two formidable new Stratagems tailored to take on the relentless Automaton enemy faction.
Confirmed by the official Helldivers 2 X / Twitter account, the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun are the latest additions to players’ arsenals. Presented in a stylish and lore-appropriate graphic, these weapons can be obtained in-game and deployed on the battlefield through the Stratagem loadout system.
The announcement emphasizes that these new Stratagems are specifically designed for use against the Automaton horde, suggesting their effectiveness against the formidable robotic enemies.
For those unfamiliar with Helldivers 2’s mechanics, Stratagems play a pivotal role in shaping the outcome of battles. Ranging from powerful weaponry like the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun to tactical support options such as air strikes and deployable turrets, Stratagems offer diverse tools for players to utilize. Inputting codes with the directional buttons adds a layer of urgency and challenge, especially during intense combat scenarios or higher difficulty levels.
It remains to be seen how existing Helldivers 2 players will adapt to these new weapons. Given the game’s friendly fire mechanics, which often lead to accidental team casualties, mastering the use of these powerful Stratagems will require coordination and skill.
Having launched just last month on PlayStation 5 and PC, Helldivers 2 has already amassed a dedicated player base, reflecting its enduring popularity. Fans eager to stay informed about the game’s ongoing development can keep track of updates through the dedicated Helldivers 2 update page.
As players gear up to confront the Automaton menace with these formidable new weapons, the intensity and excitement of Helldivers 2’s cooperative battles continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
