Helldivers 2 adds Quasar Cannon and Heavy Machine Gun Stratagems to accidentally shoot your friends with

Co-op shooter Helldivers 2is back with yet another update, this time adding two all-new Stratagems that seem specifically designed to help combat the brutal Automaton enemy type.
The official Helldivers 2 X / Twitter account confirmed these powerful weapons with a neat, lore-appropriate graphic that shows off the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun. Both can be earned in-game and distributed to players on the battlefield by calling them in via their Stratagem loadout.
The post states that these Stratagems «are available now for use against the Automaton horde,» implying that these powerful weapons are particularly effective against the deadly robotic faction.

For those not in the know, Stratagems are powerful items in Helldivers 2 that can seriously turn the tide of battle if used appropriately. They can come in the form of massive guns as seen above, air strikes, placeable turrets or even something as simple as an ammunition resupply. They require players to input a code with the directional buttons, adding a layer of intensity when enemy counts become particularly frightening on if you're playing on the higher difficulties.
It will be interesting to see existing Helldivers 2 players takes to these new weapons. The game does feature friendly fire which, as you'd expect, often leads to players (accidentally or otherwise) killing members of their team. No doubt this will also be the case with these two powerful Stratagem weapons.
Launching only last month on PlayStation 5 and PC, Helldivers 2 has a long life ahead of it if its immense popularity is anything to go by. If you're a regular player and keen to stay up to date on the multiplayer shooter's future, be sure to read up about the latest details on our dedicated Helldivers 2 update page.

Helldivers 2 Players' Most Demanded Weapon May Still Be On The Table
may be a game about shooting Bugs and Bots with an assortment of deadly firearms but players hoping to charge into the fray with nothing but a melee weapon shouldn't give up hope just yet. Ever since the incredibly popular sequel in early 2024, the community has begged Arrowhead Studios to include some kind of sword as an unlockable weapon and since the studio hasn't done so yet, the demands have just grown louder. Fortunately, those diehard saber enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the developers are still looking into the idea.

Helldivers 2’s new Warbond dramatically increases the chance to blow yourself up
Some of Helldivers 2’s best moments come through player failure, like when you accidentally shoot your teammate, get killed by a low-level Terminid grunt, or blow yourself up. The ragdoll physics make these mistakes all the more hilarious. And we expect these moments to increase thanks to a new Premium Warbond (the game’s version of the battle pass), which will be hitting on April 11.
