New York, NY – Helldivers 2 players have exciting news as two new heavy weapons have been introduced by developer Arrowhead Game Studios for the ongoing battle against the Automatons. The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun are now available for immediate use, providing democratic soldiers with powerful tools to liberate Troost and combat the bots’ “Reclamation.”
Both weapons are heavy artillery available as stratagems, accessible at a relatively low level. The Heavy Machine Gun, also known as the MG-206 in-game, is described as a potent yet challenging-to-wield machine gun with intense recoil. It requires 6,000 requisition slips to unlock and has a 480-second cooldown with unlimited uses.
On the other hand, the Quasar Cannon resembles an energy rocket launcher with a charging mechanism for a powerful energy burst. This weapon costs 7,500 slips to unlock, has a 480-second cooldown like the Heavy Machine Gun, and offers unlimited uses. In demonstrations, it is seen in action against an Automaton Hulk, hinting at its potential to one-shot the formidable enemy with precise targeting.
The introduction of these new heavy weapons may prompt an update to the Helldivers 2 best weapons list, suggesting exciting gameplay additions for players. Rumors of further stratagems on the horizon add to the anticipation, with reports of Game Master Joel’s mysterious appearance and vanishing during a player’s game fueling speculation among the community.
Arrowhead Game Studios teases the possibility of gatling guns in the game’s future, hinting at innovative mechanics that could enhance the democratic soldiers’ arsenal even further. As players gear up with the latest heavy weapons and await potential updates, the battle against the Automatons in Helldivers 2 continues to intensify, promising thrilling gameplay experiences for fans of the popular title.
