I’m only level 5 so I only have a few weapons/stratagems unlocked but I’m interested to hear what everyone finds the most fun.
Breaker shotgun, extended mag pistol, impact grenade.
Orbital laser, napalm strike, grenade launcher, supply back pack, vitality booster.
Depending on a mission I might switch out some stratagems but that’s pretty standard loadout the last day or two for me. Level 17. Playing hard typically but about to bump up to the next difficulty
It’s a super fun game!
For me, it highly depends on the enemy type (bugs or terminator), the mission type and the load out of the other helldivers.
The shield backpack is great for almost all missions. I also like to bring the rail canon as it helps to kill medium tier enemies.
For the tough enemies and for horde control, I’ll usually bring the orbital laser beam and the eagle airstrike.
On “kill them all” missions (on the small map with 12 min time limit) I also prefer EMS and regular mortar (a deadly combination).
The smoke screen can be a great addition as well to give the team a break. However, it has to fit the playstyle of the squad.
My go-to weapon is the incindery breaker. It’s insanely overpowered and even on long distances quite effective. And on close range? gg!
The redeemer pistol and a heavy granade give you so much opportunities to singlehandedly kill the lookout and a medium sized enemy hive/base.
Public service announcement: don’t forget to bring a booster!
With bots ive been loving the arc thrower, thinking about pairing it with orbital ems for maximum zappy zappy
With bugs, all I see is fire… incendiary grenades, flamethrower, orbital laser, maniacal laughter, charred skin
I wish I weren’t such a basic bitch with the Breaker, but the way it can blow brood commander’s legs clean off and dig through a warrior’s armor is just too good. Plus, I’m generally on recoilless duty and can usually solo a Charger with a rocket into a front leg followed by a breaker clip into the exposed flesh.
