Helldivers 2 Gets Two New Stratagems That Should Help Take Down Those Annoying Automatons
28.03.2024 - 14:01 / ign.com
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has released two new Stratagems to help players in the fight against the Automatons and Terminids.
First up is the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun, which costs 6,000 requisition. This Stratagem is described as “a very powerful but difficult-to-wield machine gun with intense recoil.” It’s got a three second call-in time, a 480 cooldown, and unlimited uses.
And finally, the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon Stratagem is now in the game. This weapon charges up to fire a powerful, explosive energy burst, with a long cooldown period after firing. The Quasar costs 7,500 requisition, has a three second call-in time,480 second cooldown time, and unlimited use.
The Heavy Machine Gun and the Quasar Cannon are the first new Stratagems to hit Helldivers 2 since the release of mechs earlier this month. Arrowhead mentions the “Automaton horde” specifically in its announcement, so hopefully the two additions will help with Helldivers 2’s current major order, which revolves around fighting the alien robots.
While Helldivers 2 just got two new toys to play with, Arrowhead has warned players against snowball fights because they cause the game to crash. If you’re looking for more on Helldivers 2, check out IGN’s feature on the Let Me Solo Her of Helldivers 2, a player who has answered over 100 SOS Beacons as part of a mission to help others. Helldivers 2 has become one of the surprise hits of 2024 since launching in February, topping the charts on Steam and reportedly selling around three million copies. According to at least one analyst, it's still growing. Check out IGN's Helldivers 2 review to find out why it's going down so well.

These run the gamut from less-remembered one-offs like Hey You, Pikachu to more successful ventures like Detective Pikachu and Pokemon GO, the latter of which continues to be a global sensation thanks to new events and content being released regularly.

UK-based developer Bytten Studio and prolific indie publisher Raw Fury released Cassette Beasts on Windows and Linux computers last April, with a wider launch on Xbox systems and the Nintendo Switch the following month.
