. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original.In the fight against the overwhelming bug-like Terminids, the robotic Automatons , and horrifying Illumantes in Helldivers 2, picking the best weapons can seem daunting. Our weapons tier list covers all the best primary weapons that you can pick up and take on your next mission.
This energy weapon is great at killing multiple enemies at range. It’s effectively an assault rifle competitor as it fires laser bursts. Thanks to its heatsink, you don’t need to worry about running out of ammo. Just remember not to let it overheat or you’ll need to replace the heatsink. But if you want to maximize its damage output, don’t hold back just to save a heatsink. Its low recoil is another valuable perk while facing a mob of threats.
The Scythe and other LAS weapons need to stay on their target to ramp up their low initial damage. In theory, they should melt them over time. In practice, with how chaotic things can turn out quickly, this weapon is a detriment. It can cause friendly fire, needs to be kept on target to deal damage, and can overheat. Just avoid it until it gets buffed or reworked.On paper, LAS-7 Dagger should be the mini version of the Scythe.
While a shotgun with a better fire rate and lower damage sounds good in theory, we found the regular Breaker better for most engagements. Weaker enemies, especially Terminids, fall faster thanks to the Spray and Pray having more shots per magazine. It’s a good shotgun for what it does, but there are far better picks in this weapon type.Despite its poor fire rate, the Punisher backs it up with solid damage and stagger against armoured foes.
