If you are a big fan of movies like Guardians of the Galaxy or Star Wars, then you will definitely love Helldivers 2. As a direct sequel to Helldivers, although Helldivers 2 is a shooting game, it sets the story and combat background in the 22nd century universe, with a strong sense of the future and interstellar colors, and has a unique charm.
After entering the game, you need to fight to defend Super Earth and eliminate all hostile forces and factions in the galaxy. Although the most powerful enemy in the game is Illuminate, the threats posed by Terminids and Automatons cannot be ignored, and they may even become more powerful in the future.
Based on this, this time we will focus on introducing you to the 8 best weapons against Automatons to help you defend Super Earth.
As one of the main weapons in the game, R-36 Eruptor can kill Automatons with great power. Its bullets are explosive and can easily penetrate and kill enemies with light to medium armor after firing. It is also easy to obtain. You only need 60 Helldivers 2 Medals to enjoy the excellent combat experience provided by this weapon.
Although the disadvantage of the eruptor is that it is only suitable for long-range shooting, you will find that the weapons used by Automatons start shooting from a distance in actual combat. You can use the eruptor to hit the enemy before they hit you.
The biggest advantage of this weapon is that it is based on the fact that it is an energy weapon, which means that as long as you don’t let it overheat, it can provide unlimited ammunition, which is very useful for fighting against Automatons because they will spawn a lot of soldiers. Such a gun with unlimited potential can be exchanged for 35 medals, it is really lucky. However, since LAS-5 Scythe has no recoil, you should be careful to manage its heat meter during the trial, and make sure your aim is up to par, so as not to end up missing the target.
This weapon is a bit like an upgraded version of LAS-5 Scythe, although it requires more medals, but it is indeed more powerful than LAS-5 Scythe - it deals enough damage to penetrate heavy enemy armor, has unlimited ammunition, and has no cooldown.
Unfortunately, this weapon has a fatal flaw, which is that it may hurt on you if used too long. Therefore, it is recommended to choose it when facing a tough Automaton battle, and at the same time, keep an eye on its heat meter.
When you get a heavy machine gun like MG-206 in Helldivers 2, you must wonder if it can successfully fight against the heaviest Automatons? The good news is that it can do this! In fact, MG-206 can even easily destroy Automaton enemies such as Scout Striders and Devastators with its high rate of fire and damage.
But a warm reminder, the total amount of ammunition that can be equipped with this weapon is relatively small, so if you want it to achieve continuous output in battle, it is best to pay attention to its ammunition magazine to keep it stable.
Autocannon weapons such as AC-8 can deal with almost all the dangers brought by Automatons, because it has two types of ammunition, one for a single heavy threat, and the other for destroying multiple light units at the same time, allowing it to adjust its output mode in time according to the combat situation.
The disadvantage of this weapon is that its spare ammunition needs to occupy your backpack slot to save, and the reload time is also very long. For this reason, we recommend that you can use AC-8 Autocannon to help your teammates during team battles, to give them time to rest.
GR-8 Recoilless Rifle is designed to deal with heavily armored Automatons. Even without targeting the enemy’s weak points, GR-8 ammunition can easily knock them down. Although it has the same flaws as AC-8 Autocannon, its powerful damage output is enough to make you ignore this shortcoming.
The best feature of this weapon is that it can lock on to the target in advance to attack, thus creating a safe enough distance between you and the enemy. The maximum range of 300 meters of FAF-14 means that you can use it to eliminate Automaton units before they get close to you.
However, please confirm two things before using this weapon: first, its lock function will prevent you from shooting other targets after locking on; second, its total ammunition holding is low. All of these mean that you must choose your targets wisely to maximize the use of FAF-14 Spear.
The ability to emit high voltage electricity makes Arc Thrower weapons perfect for dealing with mechanical enemies such as Automatons. In fact, ARC-3 can easily bypass the enemy’s armor and directly attack in actual combat, which reduces your combat pressure to a certain extent.
However, the lightning emitted by this weapon does not distinguish between enemies and friends in combat, so if you plan to use it in a team battle, you need to inform your teammates in advance so that they can make predictions and avoid being accidentally injured.
After the introduction, I believe you should already know what weapon to choose to fight against Automatons. I wish you good luck in the battle!
Illuminate, a race of aliens calling themselves Squ’ith, were defeated in the First Galactic War, but now they’re back in Helldivers 2.
Some time ago, Illuminate invasion was discovered in Helldivers 2, and more than a million players joined the cooperative battle. Although plays successfully repelled them, it is certain that Illuminate will return as a permanent faction in the near future.
The predecessor of Illuminate was Illuminate Empire. This creature looks like a squid. They are extremely intelligent, and have mastered mystical space magic and advanced electricity technology.
Compared to the other two factions, Illuminate is much smaller in scale, but in Helldivers 1, they were still considered the most difficult faction to deal with - and they will still be the case in Helldivers 2.
If you don’t know Illuminate yet, this article will provide you with some information to help you better deal with these disgusting squids in the future.
Before starting the battle, you need to understand the characteristics of Illuminate and choose the right equipment accordingly.
Illuminate units have extremely high health, but their armor is very weak. Therefore, when choosing equipment, you don’t need to pay too much attention to penetration. Weapons with medium penetration values can successfully cause damage to them. In order to consume the health bars of Illuminate units, you need to choose weapons with extremely high damage. In addition, high-speed bullets and flame-based weapons are very effective against Illuminate.
Although Illuminate units have low armor values, Illuminate energy shields can help them resist a lot of burst damage. Therefore, when choosing equipment, you need to consider weapons that can cause continuous damage, and shields will be broken under long-term continuous damage. P-15 Redeemer is very good at destroying Illuminate energy shields.
Here is a set of equipment that is effective against Illuminate, combining power, stability, accuracy, ammo economy, and penetration.
A Medium Machine Gun or Heavy Machine Gun as the core weapon will work well against Illuminate. When using the gun, aiming at the leg or head joints of Illuminate units will be more effective in knocking them down. In order to control the recoil, it is recommended that you lie down when shooting.
Besides equipment, upgrading your ship is also very important. Actively completing personal orders and weekly major orders in Helldivers 2 can obtain various Helldivers 2 Items. Using them to upgrade your ship will help you more smoothly in battle.
Illuminate will send various enemies to attack you. Here are the characteristics of these enemies.
This will be the most common enemy you will see on Illuminate planets. Voteless are melee enemies. They are very fragile and easy to kill. However, the tricky thing is that there are so many Voteless that they will be surrounded by them if you are not careful. Therefore, you need to be vigilant when facing them. Try to keep a long distance to shoot at them.
Like Voteless, Overseers are also close-range enemies. But unlike Voteless, they can use energy blasts and energy shields to rush towards you quickly when attacking.
Keep your distance from Overseers while fighting them and be aware of their movements to prevent them from getting close to you. Energy blast attacks are relatively easy to dodge, but breaking the energy shield is a bit difficult and requires a lot of reflexes. You can aim at the chest of Overseers until their chest armor breaks.
Elevated Overseers have similar abilities to Overseers, but they have jetpacks, which allow them to fly over the battlefield. Elevated Overseers do not have energy shields and are more vulnerable to damage, so aim at the head of Elevated Overseer to kill them.
ARC Blitzer and ARC thrower can help you better aim at flying enemies. Or you can try to use weapons to blow up Elevated Overseer’s jetpacks.
If you find yourself surrounded by a purple glow, you are probably facing Watchers - flying drone units. Watchers fire a lot of bullets and slow you down. Keep shooting at the center of Watchers’ eyes to kill them effectively.
These will be the most terrifying enemies you will encounter in the fight against Illuminate. Harvesters are large and have huge energy shields.
Harvesters’ shields can be restored naturally over time, so it will be very troublesome if you can’t knock down the shields at once. Therefore, when dealing with Harvesters, you need to concentrate your firepower to break the energy shields first.
The eyes are also the weak point of Harvesters. Shooting at their eyes can effectively cause damage. However, Harvesters’ eyes are very difficult to hit, so aiming at their leg joints is also a good idea. Using explosive weapons such as Purifier or Laser Cannon can help you gain an advantage in the confrontation.
Some players will be affected by Cognitive Disruptors, which will disrupt stratagem codes. You can still call stratagems after being affected by Cognitive Disruptors, so you need to pay attention to the situation of your codes and re-enter them after they are disrupted. Illuminate Cognitive Disruptors will disrupt your codes every 3 seconds.
If you want to disable Cognitive Disruptors, you need to find and shoot down all nearby capsule-shaped power supplies. You can try to use explosive weapons to bomb the area where Cognitive Disruptors are located, which may help you destroy some batteries.
The above is some basic information about fighting Illuminate and effective strategies to fight them. Although Illuminate is difficult to deal with, it is not without weaknesses. I believe that players can still drive these evil creatures back to their lairs in Helldivers 2!
