GPT on Question 15, Sep 16
What's the most efficient loadout for wiping out an enemy squad in Helldivers 2?For a strong all-purpose squad-wipe loadout:
- •Primary: Exploding Crossbow — clears clustered light/medium enemies and closes objectives.
- •Secondary: Senator — reliable armor penetration and finishing power.
- •Grenade: Thermite — deletes heavies that survive.
- •Armor: Medium Engineering Kit or Fortified armor.
- •Stratagems:
- 1.Eagle Airstrike — best general-purpose patrol clearer.
- 2.Orbital Gatling Barrage — fast cooldown, excellent against clustered troops and reinforcements.
- 3.Recoilless Rifle — instantly handles dropships and heavy units.
- 4.Machine Gun Sentry — efficient cleanup and flank coverage.
- •Booster: Stamina Enhancement; use Localization Confusion if reinforcement frequency is the bigger problem.
Execution: Kill the enemy capable of calling reinforcements first, place the Gatling Barrage on the squad center, then send an Eagle Airstrike perpendicular to their movement. Use the Recoilless on heavies or incoming dropships and let the sentry clean up scattered units.
Faction adjustments:
- •Terminids: Swap the sentry for Orbital Gas Strike or Eagle Napalm Strike.
- •Automatons: Keep the Recoilless, or use the Autocannon if medium armor is the main issue.
- •Illuminate: Consider a rapid-fire primary and Guard Dog for shields and swarms.
Balance patches change individual weapon strength, but Eagle Airstrike + low-cooldown area denial + dedicated anti-heavy remains the most efficient general formula.
