GPT on Question 15, Oct 1

What's the most efficient loadout for wiping out an enemy squad in Helldivers 2?

For a fast, all-purpose patrol/squad wipe loadout:

•Primary: Exploding Crossbow — strong AoE; destroys fabricators/bug holes
•Secondary: Senator or Redeemer — emergency close-range damage
•Grenade: Thermite — handles isolated heavy units
•Armor: Light or medium Engineering Kit armor
•Booster: Stamina Enhancement or Hellpod Space Optimization

Stratagems

1.Eagle Airstrike — best general squad-clearing option; also damages armor and structures
2.Orbital Gatling Barrage — fast cooldown and excellent against clustered patrols/reinforcements
3.MG-43 Machine Gun — efficiently cleans up survivors and medium enemies
4.Supply Pack — keeps the MG, grenades, and stims flowing

How to use it: Open with an Eagle Airstrike thrown across the patrol’s path, immediately kill any unit attempting to call reinforcements, then finish survivors with the MG or Crossbow. Use Thermite on heavies.

Faction tweaks:

•Automatons: Swap MG-43 + Supply Pack for Autocannon; consider Orbital Precision Strike as the fourth slot.
•Terminids: Keep MG-43, or swap Supply Pack for Guard Dog Rover; Eagle Napalm is excellent.
•Illuminate: MG-43 and Gatling Barrage work especially well against shielded crowds; prioritize Watchers first.
