After the last major update, Arrowhead Game Studios has now launched Helldivers 2 patch 1.000.402 to fix a wide range of glitches and bugs.]]>

Helldivers 2 builds on its predecessor by improving cooperative gameplay with new mechanics. Lately, the game has received a major update 01.000.400 that greatly improves the effectiveness of weapons and strategies, rebalances enemy encounters, and introduces new environmental effects as well as social features. However, there are still many unresolved issues, and the developer is currently working hard to fix them. Before, the developer hinted at these patch notes on their X account.

Titles in Helldivers 2 help you stand out by showing your rank below your name at the bottom-left of the screen. They're also a way to show off how far you've progressed when you play with friends.

However, many new players need to learn how to unlock new titles or whether they already have new statuses to use in the game. Don’t worry, in this post, Gurugamer.com will show you all the titles in Helldivers 2 and how to get them.

Owners of the "Super" edition can immediately equip their shiny, gold "Super Citizen" status. The other titles unlock as you progress: every five levels up to level 50, and then at intervals of 10 levels after that.

Additionally, the introduction of Viper Commandos represents a significant development in the Warbonds system in Helldivers 2. You can now acquire new titles by purchasing Warbonds with Super Credits, the premium in-game currency obtainable through gameplay or real-world purchases. Notably, Warbonds do not have an expiration date, allowing players to focus on earning Super Credits through gameplay and investing in top-tier Warbonds at their discretion.

Max Level in Helldivers 2

With the release of Patch 01.000.200, the maximum level cap in Helldivers 2 is set at level 150, so you'll need to invest significant time in liberating planets to reach this milestone. However, the progression might feel somewhat underwhelming because most content like new weapons, stratagems, and armor is unlocked by around level 20. After that, the primary rewards are new titles until you reach level 150.

Note: Patch 01.000.200 incorporates all the XP you've earned up to level 50. If you were already maxed out before, update your game and you'll find yourself at a higher level. Your ongoing efforts to liberate the galaxy have been recognized.

How to Change Titles in Helldivers 2

To change your title in Helldivers 2, you can only do it on your ship. Interact with the Armory to access your character customization screen. From there, navigate to the Character tab and select "Title" at the bottom. Here, you'll see all the statuses you've unlocked. Pick the one you want and click "Equip" to display your new title to your teammates.

Please be aware that titles in Helldivers 2 are purely cosmetic and do not impact gameplay. They are visible only to other players in your party, similar to when you rename your ship.

Taking into account player feedback, Arrowhead Game Studios' Helldivers 2 is gearing up for a significant update scheduled for Thursday, June 13th.]]>

Released in February 2024 for PS5 and PC, Helldivers 2 - Sony's fastest-selling PlayStation game ever emerges as a third-person shooter. In the game, players collaborate as Helldivers, striving to safeguard the inhabitants of Super Earth from various adversaries, including bugs and bots.

Helldivers 2 is titled Sony's fastest-selling PlayStation game ever.

When will the Helldivers 2 patch notes come?

Helldivers 2 is on the brink of a significant update set to roll out on June 13, promising a plethora of enhancements. Among the notable features anticipated to refine the gaming experience are:

  • the introduction of visible supply lines and attack origins;
  • a rollback on patrols and spawn rates;
  • the implementation of invite-only lobbies;
  • super samples at Level 6;
  • rectification of the unlimited grenades issue;
  • and over 100 additional tweaks and fixes.

Until the full patch notes are unveiled, Helldivers 2 has given players a preview of what to expect in its imminent update, slated for June 13. Alongside this, the game developers addressed their community on social media, acknowledging a recent slowdown in patch releases and affirming their dedication to improving the game experience.

Similar to our future approach to Warbonds, this is so we can dedicate more time to each patch to reduce the pressure on our teams, dig into your feedback more and deliver higher quality patches,” said the developer.

What can we expect from the Helldivers 2 patch notes?

Describing its upcoming patch as "strong," Helldivers 2 has announced a wealth of bug fixes, features requested by players, and the highly anticipated Viper Commandos Warbond set. This new Warbond offering includes various additions such as:

  • the AR-23A Liberator Carbine;
  • fresh armor sets;
  • utility knives;
  • victory poses;
  • emotes;
  • capes;
  • and player cards.

Besides, players can look forward to new skins for Exosuits, hellpods, and the Pelican-1, adding depth to customization and gameplay.

"We're very aware that going from quick, small patches to slower, bigger patches means your expectations are higher… We'll continue delivering patches and content that squash bugs and evolve the game. And, most importantly, evolve the game WITH our players and community,” Helldivers 2 announced.

Helldivers 2 is now more dedicated to listening to its players and incorporating their feedback, which has led to slower patch releases as they focus on adding new content.

Players shared a range of reactions to the thread: Some expressed excitement about the prospect of dedicated time for significant updates, while others appreciated the developers' well-being not being compromised. Meanwhile, some players voiced a desire for prompt resolutions to minor issues persisting in the game. Also, several mentioned that their decision to stick with the game depends on the outcome of the upcoming update.

Anyway, Helldivers 2 is committed to maintaining transparency with its community by sharing insights into its development process and timeline. As the release of the new Warbond approaches later this week, players are anticipated to return to the game in droves to explore its latest offerings.

A leaker has recently revealed numerous new Illuminate models in the Helldivers 2 files. Let's check it out now!]]>

AsunderKnight, a leaker, recently revealed numerous new Illuminate models in the Helldivers 2 files, including additional Squi'ith models, outposts, enigmatic crystals of Illuminate origin, staff weaponry, and an intriguing teleporter.

The functionality of the Illuminate teleporter in Helldivers 2 remains ambiguous at this point. However, speculation suggests it might serve as a spawn point for the Illuminate faction, like how players typically crash land in rocket pods, albeit with more sophistication.

When Will The Illuminate Hit Helldivers 2?

Arrowhead Studios has yet to provide details on when the Illuminate faction will make its return. In the eyes of Super Earth, the official stance is that the Illuminate was eradicated entirely. Nonetheless, suggesting the possibility of their survival is considered treasonous, leading to speculation being suppressed. Confirmation of their resurgence will likely only come when they pose a direct threat, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing Second Galactic War.

Illuminate Teleporter In Helldivers 2
The functionality of the Illuminate teleporter in Helldivers 2 remains ambiguous at this point.

Indeed, the increasing number of Illuminate files being data-mined implies that Arrowhead Studios is intensifying their efforts in developing this returning faction. We'll probably see them rejoin the conflict soon, especially given the escalating tensions of the Second Galactic War. This war is purportedly surpassing those of the initial conflict, making it appear as though the first war was merely a preparatory exercise.

Fans have been anticipating potential connections between the black hole swallowing Meridia and the reintroduction of the Illuminate faction in Helldivers 2

One theory proposes that the black hole created a wormhole through which the Squi'ith could return to the galaxy. Another signifies that Super Earth obtaining such destructive technology might compel the Illuminate to intervene, shifting them from mere observers to active participants in the ongoing conflict. Regardless of the specific scenario, it appears increasingly likely that the Illuminate's reappearance is imminent.

Once successfully finishing the latest Major Order in Helldivers 2, players have gained access to the Emancipator Exosuit, which has promptly been integrated into players' arsenal as a strategem.]]>

Prior to the holiday weekend, the Helldivers 2 Twitter account officially issued a Major Order to its player. The players were tasked with freeing Varylia 5 from the Automatons in that particular mission.

Merely a few days afterward, the player base achieved success, earning themselves a formidable new mech suit. Officially known as the dual-Autocannon EXO-49 Emancipator Exosuit, it lives up to its name in both size and power. Featuring dual cannons flanking each side of the Exosuit, the deployment video highlights its distinctive yellow color scheme.

The players' attainment of the reward wasn't guaranteed. Firstly, a significant portion of the player base was occupied with the holiday weekend. Secondly, previous Major Orders had ended unsuccessfully, leaving room for doubt about the outcome of this one. Nonetheless, liberation has ultimately been accomplished.

Opinions Vary Among Helldivers 2 Players Regarding the Exosuit's Utility

Currently, not all Helldivers 2 players are persuaded of the mech suit's effectiveness. Despite only being deployed for a few hours, there are already notable critics within the community. However, there are also those who are enthusiastically endorsing its capabilities.

Certain player segments have capitalized on their complementary nature and unrestricted usage to swiftly dispatch adversaries.

"I've been bringing multiple mechs every mission and chaining them back to back, calling in my limited use mechs when the free mech is on cooldown," a user shared on the official Helldivers subreddit.

Other users have highlighted its diminished durability, particularly its impact during gameplay at more advanced levels.

"I've tried the mech. I'd rather any strategem that isn't 10 minutes, 2 charges. Coming from an only 9's player," one of the users claimed.

Finally, some users have adopted a middle-ground stance, acknowledging the enjoyment factor while also acknowledging the limitations.

"It’s fun but this mech is weak. No reason why a turret auto cannon is better at killing bile titans than a AC Mech," " u/elitericky wrote.

As with the introduction of any new feature, there will always be critics and those who express grievances. This particular thread on the subreddit provides a comprehensive overview of the various viewpoints.

Considering the tumultuous events that have recently unfolded in Helldivers 2, including the PSN debacle, the absence of in-game PSAs, and the purported cancellation of the "Review Bomb" cape, perhaps a bit of lightheartedness is exactly what the community needs. After all, gaming is ultimately about having fun, especially in times of adversity.

The community manager for Helldivers 2 stated that the developers will adjust how patches are released in order to uphold the game's quality standards.]]>

After its release in February 2024, Helldivers 2 has achieved impressive accomplishments, establishing itself as Sony’s best-selling PlayStation game. The cooperative shooter game has received regular updates and new content to maintain player interest. However, the game encountered challenges, especially regarding the frequency of updates and balancing changes. Community feedback revealed that these frequent updates, though well-intentioned, oftentimes disrupted the game’s balance and took away organically discovered fun elements. This caused frustration among the players and led Johan Pilestedt, Helldivers 2 Director, to admit that their approach to balancing had sometimes been extremely aggressive.

Helldivers 2 has achieved impressive accomplishments, establishing itself as Sony’s best-selling PlayStation game.

During a recent communication on the Helldivers 2 Discord channel, Thomas Petersson, aka Twinbeard, Arrowhead community manager, clarified that the team intends to dedicate additional time to upcoming patches.

"We want to take some more time for this one and potentially between future patches, since we feel cadence has probably been a bit too high to be able to maintain the quality standard we want, and you deserve," said Twinbeard.

The decision indicates a move towards carefully planning, executing, and overseeing updates in order to prevent the necessity for regular hotfixes. After Twinbeard announced that the team required additional time for the upcoming patch of Helldivers 2, this clarification was provided.

In spite of these modifications, the developers persist in tackling ongoing problems. For example, the recent Helldivers 2 patch 1.000.304 concentrated on resolving game crashes and bugs. This update did not incorporate any new weapons or gameplay balance adjustments, opting instead to prioritize stability. Additionally, the patch introduced an optional setting for linking PSN accounts, following a contentious period where a mandatory PSN account link resulted in the game's delisting in numerous countries.

The recent Helldivers 2 patch 1.000.304 concentrated on resolving game crashes and bugs.

Helldivers 2 has been partially restored on Steam in some countries after being removed from more than 170 countries because of Sony's contentious PSN account linking rule for PC users. This caused a lot of backlash and negative responses from users. Even though the requirement to link a PSN account has been lifted, Helldivers 2 is still not accessible in certain areas. Nevertheless, regions like Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have had the constraints removed, indicating Sony's effort to improve the game's worldwide accessibility.

The community has responded well to Twinbeard's announcement, with players encouraging the developers to take as much time as needed for quality updates. Arrowhead's decision to delay releases for Helldivers 2 emphasizes the significance of prioritizing quality in game development rather than focusing solely on quantity.

A rumored Helldivers 2 leak has revealed yet another enemy from the Illuminate faction in the game's files.]]>

Arrowhead Game Studios hasn't officially said if the Illuminate faction is in Helldivers 2 yet. Yet, since the Illuminate, along with the Terminids and Automatons, were in the first Helldivers game, it makes sense they might come back. Many players have only played the sequel, so adding the Illuminate could be a great way to expand the game's story and keep it interesting, with its mix of melee and ranged combat from the original game.

According to IronS1ghts, a reliable leaker on Reddit, another model from the rumored upcoming Illuminate faction in Helldivers 2 has been found in the game's files. Previously, a different Helldivers 2 leak showed players their first glimpse of an Illuminate enemy, but this new leak features a different model. This enemy is holding a "LightSpear" staff, which IronS1ghts says can be used for both melee and ranged combat, "firing a beam of light if needed." Since the Automatons are mainly ranged fighters and the Terminids are mostly melee fighters, this dual-purpose ability for the Illuminate makes a lot of sense.

Interestingly, this new model is much more detailed than the previous Illuminate leaks. This suggests that the Illuminate faction might be closer to release, promising an exciting addition to Helldivers 2 gameplay. While fighting the Terminids and Automatons is still enjoyable, a new faction would be a welcome change. However, it's important to remember that the Illuminate's inclusion hasn't been officially confirmed yet, so plans could still change.

With Helldivers 2 now moving past the recent PSN controversy, Arrowhead Game Studios can focus on what they do best: creating great new content for gamers. Recent updates for Helldivers 2 have addressed crashes, bugs, and balance issues, so we can look forward to a lot of new content coming soon.

We hope that this list of top Helldivers 2 loadouts by Gurugamer.com will inspire you with new ideas for navigating the game effectively.]]>

Figuring out the optimal loadout for your galactic warrior in Helldivers 2 may be a challenge initially, with the gradual introduction of new weapons and armor to experiment with. Just the wide range of Stratagems can make it challenging to decide what to bring, especially since you are limited to only four slots on missions.

Finding the best Helldivers 2 loadouts might be a challenging task.

If you're interested in simple designs that you can implement, we have access to all the Stratagems and know what's effective in combat. We hope that our top Helldivers 2 loadouts will inspire you with new ideas for navigating the game effectively.

All Rounder

Primary AR-23 Liberator
Secondary P-2 Peacemaker
Grenade G-12 High Explosive
Armour Perk Med Kit (stim inventory & second stim duration +2)
Stratagems Orbital 120MM HE Barrage, Machine Gun, Supply Pack, Eagle Strafing Run

 

Helldivers 2 Loadouts All Rounder
Helldivers 2 Loadouts: All Rounder

If you're not sure which enemy you'll face, this Helldivers 2 beginner loadout is perfect for you. You can shoot bugs from far away while aiming, stop a charging Stalker by shooting quickly, or shoot without aiming when you need to escape fast. The Liberator works great for all of these situations.

When you're not in the mood to think too hard about Stratagems, you might take on the role of the ammo mule. The Supply Pack in Helldivers 2 is always handy. Not only can you refill your entire set of weapons with just one button press, but you can also be a hero to your teammates when they're running low on ammo. The Supply Pack works especially well with one of the best weapons that use up a lot of ammo in the game (the standard machine gun) and the Med Kit armor perk, which can keep your health injections fully stocked at all times. Big damage and strong survivability make for a great combination in any situation.

Pathfinder

Primary R-63 Diligence
Secondary P-19 Redeemer
Grenade G-16 Impact
Armour Perk Scout (Markers on the map trigger radar scans every two seconds. They also decrease the distance at which enemies can spot you by 30%.)
Stratagems Jump Pack, Gatling Sentry, Eagle Cluster Bomb, Anti-Material Rifle

Finding the secondary goals in Helldivers 2 can be tough, so it's smart to bring along a scout who can wander off from the team a bit but still get out of trouble if needed. Wearing light armor, having the Scout perk, and using a Jump Pack will help you move quickly, spot objectives on the map, and quickly escape from any situation where you might get surrounded by enemies.

The R-63 Diligence and the Anti-Material Rifle are great for shooting faraway targets, while the P-19 Redeemer can save you in a tight spot. The Gatling Sentry is also good for luring enemies away, and the Eagle Cluster Bomb is handy to throw behind you as you run away to stop any chasing swarms. If you don't think you need all that, you could bring an Orbital Precision Strike instead. You can use the sentry to draw in a tough armored enemy, then call down the strike right on top of them to deal with them.

Bot Cruncher

Primary R-63 Diligence
Secondary P-2 Peacemaker
Grenade G-6 Frag
Armour Perk Extra Padding (boosts extra armor rating)
Stratagems Eagle Airstrike, Orbital EMS Strike, Gatling Sentry, Autocannon

 

Helldivers 2 Loadouts Bot Cruncher
Helldivers 2 Loadouts: Bot Cruncher

The Diligence is a strong rifle that shoots one bullet at a time and has a scope you can adjust. You can get it early on with warbonds. As a backup, the Peacemaker pistol is a great choice because it's easier to aim precisely when aiming for headshots.

When you need backup against Automatons, you need to think differently. Airstrikes are effective against bugs, but for armored walkers, try using an EMS strike to disable them instead. Since armored Automatons are common, you can rely on a support weapon like the Autocannon. It works best with two people for continuous firing, but even when operated alone, the Autocannon can easily destroy walkers and infantry with its high accuracy and fire rate. It's like having a mini tank on your shoulder.

Titan Killer

Primary AR-23P Liberator Penetrator
Secondary P-19 Redeemer
Grenade G-16 Impact
Armour Perk Fortified (reduces recoil by 30% when crouching or prone, and also provides a 50% increase in resistance to explosive damage.)
Stratagems Orbital Laser, Eagle Cluster Bomb, Spear, Orbital Railcannon Strike

 

Helldivers 2 Loadouts Titan Killer
Helldivers 2 Loadouts: Titan Killer

This setup needs you to be pretty high level to use its Stratagems, but you can adjust it if needed. Start by grabbing the AR-23P Liberator Penetrator for its ability to penetrate medium armor, and make sure to have the P-19 Redeemer for fast burst damage if you're surrounded. A good grenade choice to go with this is the G-13 Impact, which can instantly kill a Bile Spewer if you throw it at it.

The Orbital Laser and Orbital Railcannon Strike are both great for dealing damage to a single target. But if you don't have either, a well-placed Orbital Precision Strike can still take down a Charger or Bile Titan. The Eagle Cluster Bomb is also handy for wiping out large groups of enemies quickly, thanks to its four uses and fast cooldown. And then there's the Spear. Although its targeting isn't perfect right now, it has impressive range and homes in on targets, making it awesome for hitting moving armored enemies or ones that are far away. If you want something more versatile, you could try the Recoilless Rifle instead, since the Spear can only target big armored enemies.

Nest Buster

Primary AR-23P Liberator Penetrator
Secondary P-19 Redeemer
Grenade G-12 High Explosive
Armour Perk Engineering Kit (reduces recoil when crouching or prone by 30% and offers 2 extra grenades)
Stratagems Grenade Launcher, Eagle Cluster Bomb, Supply Pack, Orbital Precision Strike

 

Helldivers 2 Loadouts Nest Buster
Helldivers 2 Loadouts: Nest Buster

If you're doing fast missions or want to quickly destroy bug nests and secondary objectives so you can focus on the main goals, this is the best Helldivers 2 loadout we suggest. The AR-23P Liberator Penetrator is a popular assault rifle among Helldivers players because it can penetrate medium armor, and the P-19 Redeemer is useful when you're in a tight spot. But the most crucial items in this setup are the Grenade Launcher and the Supply Pack.

Grenade Launchers can seal bug holes from far away with accurate shots, and they can also wipe out Spore Stacks or even Rogue Transmission towers from a distance, making your mission much faster. When it comes to airstrikes, the Eagle Cluster Bomb is still the best for clearing out large groups of enemies, while the Orbital Precision Strike is excellent for getting rid of single bug nests quickly without even getting close to them. If you want a more impressive version of this setup, think about swapping the Supply Pack for a Guard Dog to protect your back, or add the Eagle 500KG bomb for smashing those big nests.

Helldivers 2: Loadouts Bug Masher

You can use this Helldivers 2 loadout for tougher missions against bugs. The Breaker shotgun stands out early on as one of the best primary weapons in Helldivers because of its high damage per second and surprisingly long range for a video game shotgun. It fires as fast as you can pull the trigger, and up close, it'll easily take out basic bugs chasing you. Its main downside is its small magazine, so you'll need to reload often. The Redeemer, with its high fire rate, is a great backup weapon when the Breaker runs out of ammo.

In terms of Stratagems, go for maximum explosive punch. We prefer the Orbital Airburst Strike for its wide area of effect against swarms, and we love the Eagle Strafe Run for a rapid barrage in a straight line. The Recoilless Rifle is one of the top early support weapons for taking out tough armored targets like Chargers, but it's most effective when used with a teammate to help with reloading.

Fire is great at beating bugs, so you can try making this setup to have fun fighting big insects on jungle planets, or anywhere else where there are things to burn. Basically, this setup is all about putting lots of fire on one Helldiver. The SG-225IE Breaker Incendiary is a shotgun that sprays fire and burns enemies, and the G-10 Incendiary Grenades lets you burn specific spots. Plus, your Armor Perk gives you two extra grenades.

For your Stratagems, definitely go for the Flamethrower to burn everything around you. Also, consider the Eagle Napalm Strike and Incendiary Mines for extra fire coverage. Lastly, if you can unlock it, get the Shield Generator Pack to protect yourself from accidental burns, it'll happen a bunch.

Shock Trooper

Primary LAS-16 Sickle or SG-225 Breaker
Secondary P-19 Redeemer
Grenade G-16 Impact
Armour Perk Electrical Conduit (gives 95% resistance to arc damage)
Stratagems Arc Thrower, Orbital Laser, Tesla Tower, Shield Generator Pack
Helldivers 2 Loadouts Shock Trooper

The Arc Thrower in Helldivers 2 has always been controversial. It's a powerful weapon, but it can accidentally shock your teammates, which is a problem. However, the new Cutting Edge Warbond offers armor with the Electrical Conduit ability, reducing electrical damage by 95%. So, if everyone on your team wears this armor, getting zapped won't be lethal anymore. You can all use Arc Throwers without worrying about frying each other.

This resistance to electrical shocks opens up a perfect chance to use the Tesla Tower. And to reduce damage even more, bring a Shield Generator Pack. When you're not using the Arc Thrower, consider the new LAS-16 Sickle primary weapon. It's similar to the AR-23 Liberator but with infinite ammo. You just need to warm it up before firing. Alternatively, you can use the SG-225 Breaker to blast anything that gets too close quickly.

Helldivers 2 Best Loadout for Bugs

Stratagems Shield Generator Pack, Orbital Railcannon Strike, LAS-99 Quasar Cannon, Eagle Cluster Bomb
Helldivers 2 Meta Loadout For Bugs
Helldivers 2 Best Loadout for Bugs

The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon is now the go-to weapon for taking down armor in Helldivers 2, especially against bugs. This powerful laser gun needs a little charging before you can shoot, but its high damage and unlimited ammo make it worth it. Plus, you don't need to sacrifice a backpack slot for it. A headshot with this gun can kill a Charger, and a few shots can bring down a Bile Titan.

Even though the SG-225 Breaker's magazine size was reduced, it's still a powerful primary weapon. The SG-225IE Breaker Incendiary is also great for burning swarms. The P-19 Redeemer remains the top choice for getting out of tough situations with its blasting power. And don't forget the G-16 Impact, it can take out a Bile Spewer before it gets a chance to vomit on you, and it's effective against bug holes too.

Apart from swapping the Railgun for the Quasar Cannon, another change worth considering is replacing the Orbital Laser with the Orbital Railcannon Strike. Although the laser is versatile and great for clearing enemies and taking out single targets, the Railcannon has unlimited uses, making it more effective against the numerous Bile Titans encountered on the toughest difficulties.

Helldivers 2 Best Loadout for Bots

Primary SG-225 Breaker, SG-8S Slugger, or PLAS-1 Scorcher
Secondary P-19 Redeemer
Grenade G-16 Impact
Armour Perk Democracy Protects
Stratagems Shield Generator Pack, Orbital Laser, Railgun or Autocannon, Eagle Airstrike
Helldivers 2 Meta Loadout For Bots
Helldivers 2 Best Loadout for Bots

It's a smart move to have at least one Quasar Cannon in your squad when facing bots, as it can take out dropships by targeting their engines. However, it's not necessarily the best choice for fighting most Automaton enemies. Depending on what you like, an unsafe mode Railgun or an Autocannon are better for dealing with Scout Striders, Devastators, Berserkers, and Hulks. We highly recommend the Railgun because it doesn't need a backpack slot and can one-shot a Hulk with a charged shot to its red visor.

Speaking of primary weapons, the SG-225 Breaker is still solid for any situation. But don't overlook the SG-8S Slugger and PLAS-1 Scorcher, which are both effective against bots. The Slugger offers high-precision damage, while the Scorcher has an explosive effect that can bypass bot shields. And of course, the P-19 Redeemer remains the top choice for a secondary weapon. Further, the G-16 Impact can take out groups of bots or even an Annihilator tank if you aim it right.

Having the Shield Generator Pack is essential when using the Railgun because it absorbs damage and prevents you from getting interrupted while charging shots. The Eagle Airstrike is ideal for situations where you need an explosion to take out an Automaton fabricator or installation. Similarly, the Orbital Laser is effective not only against enemies but also against medium and heavy outposts since it targets fabricators and bot structures directly, melting through them.
