GPT on Question 15, Sep 15
What's the most efficient loadout for wiping out an enemy squad in Helldivers 2?For a versatile “erase the patrol before it calls reinforcements” loadout:
- •Primary: Exploding Crossbow — strong area damage, stagger, medium penetration, and utility against objectives.
- •Secondary: Senator — quickly finishes armored survivors.
- •Grenade: Stun Grenade.
- •Stratagems:
- 1.Eagle Airstrike — main squad-clearing tool.
- 2.Orbital Gatling Barrage — destroys clustered infantry and covers breaches/drop zones.
- 3.Recoilless Rifle — removes chargers, hulks, tanks, and other heavies.
- 4.Machine Gun Sentry — efficient cleanup and flank protection.
- •Armor: Light or medium armor with Engineering Kit for extra grenades.
Execution: stun the center of the patrol, place the Eagle Airstrike across its direction of travel, kill any reinforcement-calling unit first, then use the Crossbow/Senator on survivors. Save the Recoilless Rifle for heavies and Gatling Barrage for incoming reinforcements.
Faction tweaks:
- •Automatons: Autocannon can replace Recoilless Rifle if medium enemies are the bigger problem.
- •Terminids: Gas Strike can replace Gatling Barrage for breaches.
- •Illuminate: MG-43 or HMG is often more efficient against shielded groups.
Balance patches can shift individual weapon performance, but the stun + Eagle Airstrike + anti-heavy weapon structure remains consistently effective.
