A smart Helldivers 2 player online has discovered an interesting way to use the new LAS-99 Quasar Cannon Stratagem, which could make completing some Automaton objectives much easier. While Helldivers 2 offers a wide arsenal of weapons to complete objectives, this new addition could be among the most useful.
The Stratagems in Helldivers 2 are impressive power-ups that players can use to call in additional support on the battlefield. These vary in strength, ranging from offensive airstrikes to simple support weapons. The most recent addition was the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon, which players can call in when the going gets tough for the Helldivers. This particular Stratagem is best used against the Automatons rather than the Terminids, and one player has shown why that’s the case.
Redditor BS_Bruz noticed an interesting detail about the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon, pointing out that with a well-placed shot, it can be used to destroy Automaton fabricators from afar. Usually, players would destroy these by getting close and throwing a grenade into one of its vents, but this can be risky due to the power of the Automatons in Helldivers 2. Calling in this new Stratagem instead and carrying it throughout the mission could be a solid and safer alternative for most players, especially on higher difficulties.
Gamers in the thread took the opportunity to discuss the other potential uses for the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon. One player even suggested that it’s possible to two-shot tanks and turret towers from their weak spots with the weapon, and it can even shoot down Automaton dropships in a single hit, too. The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon was only recently added to Helldivers 2 alongside another weapon Stratagem, but it has quickly earned its place in many players’ loadouts. It remains to be seen if Arrowhead Game Studios deems it too overpowered, and nerfs it in another future update.
While players continue to find new and interesting uses for the content in the game, Arrowhead Game Studios is constantly looking for ways to keep things fresh for players.

With Helldivers 2 continuing to sell beyond expectations, gamers can expect the developer to keep up with these updates for some time yet.

Helldivers 2 players are asking Arrowhead to make the Super Earth flag a support stratagem that boosts the morale of nearby allies.
