What's the most efficient loadout for wiping out an enemy squad in Helldivers 2?For a strong all-purpose squad-wiping loadout:
- •Primary: Exploding Crossbow — deletes clustered infantry and closes objectives
- •Secondary: Senator — reliable against tougher targets
- •Grenade: Thermite — handles heavies
- •Armor: Medium armor with Engineering Kit or Fortified
- •Stratagems:
- 1.Eagle Airstrike — fastest patrol/group clear
- 2.Orbital Gatling Barrage — sustained area denial
- 3.Recoilless Rifle — anti-heavy and dropship work
- 4.Autocannon Sentry — covers breaches, drops, and retreats
- •Booster: Stamina Enhancement or Hellpod Space Optimization
Best opening: throw the Gatling Barrage or Eagle Airstrike before the patrol alerts, then use the Crossbow on survivors and Thermite/Recoilless on armor.
Faction swaps:
- •Terminids: Breaker Incendiary or Cookout; consider Gas Strike instead of the sentry.
- •Automatons: Diligence Counter Sniper; keep Eagle Airstrike and Recoilless Rifle.
- •Illuminate: rapid-fire primary plus Machine Gun or Laser Cannon works better against shields.
Balance patches shift the exact meta, but Eagle Airstrike + crowd-control orbital + dedicated anti-tank remains the most efficient setup pattern.
