Helldivers 2 brings two new weapons to the game, but the community actually wanted a different one

earthpressnews

In Helldivers 2, the developers implemented two new and powerful weapons out of nowhere. You can find out here what they are, what they can do and why the community wants a different weapon.

Which weapons are new? In Helldivers 2, the developers have developed two new weapons to match the Helldivers’ new operation. These have been recently added, expanding players’ tactical kits. These are the weapons:

MG-206 heavy machine gun

The rifle shoots large cartridges and also has a small magazine of 75 bullets. You can also adjust the fire mode and switch between 450, 750 and 1200 bullets per minute. However, be careful that this will also affect your precision, as the rifle already has a strong recoil.

  • Cost: 6000
  • Request time: 3 sec.
  • Applications: Unlimited
  • Cooldown: 480 sec.

    • LAS-99 Quasar Cannon

    The cannon is the bigger brother of the railgun but has infinite ammunition. You charge the weapon with a hot beam and then release it onto your opponents. However, after a shot you have to let the weapon cool down for a long time.

  • Cost: 7500
  • Request time: 3 sec.
  • Applications: Unlimited
  • Cooldown: 480 sec.

    • Although the weapons are new, many players wanted a different weapon to fight against the robots – the minigun. The head of Arrowhead discussed the possibility of a minigun with his community in advance, but the discussion was quickly broken off.

    As already mentioned, Pilestedt, the head of Arrowhead, also discussed the implementation of such a weapon with the community. However, this is difficult because the rifle has such a large recoil, which would make it difficult to use properly. While the fans continued to discuss possible solutions with Pilestedt, he blocked them.

    Perhaps the new large machine gun could have been the reason why Pilestedt did not want to deepen the discussion any further.

    With these new weapons, the Helldivers can probably win the fight against the Automatons. On paper they certainly seem powerful, but whether they can hold their own against the current anti-tank and arc rifle meta remains to be seen.
