Helldivers 2’s weapons have brought to the Battle Table a recurring debate in any video game that includes shooting: which are the best weapons? Which in turn has caused certain types of players to establish a meta at the risk of being expelled from the group. Johan Pilestedt, CEO at Arrowhead Games Studiosrecommended that everyone play with the weapon they like the most.
Pilestedt’s message is very accurate, but it does not exclude the existence of absurdly powerful weapons. It was a few days ago that Twitter user DocStrangelove2 shared an appreciation post al Automatic Cannon (Autocannon), a support weapon that is requested through Stratagems (blue). He mentioned that it has a strange design, but amazing at the same time. And he is right.

Shortly after, Pilestedt quoted this tweet and said, “I think it’s the best weapon design on the team. It makes me very happy that all the effort they put in is getting the recognition it deserves.” Not only is it the best design on the team, but it disintegrates anything put in front of it. Its ammunition is very useful against armor, large groups of enemies, ships and nests/factories, since the projectiles explode on impact and penetrate. Everything flies through the air.
The Autocannon Stratagem It is unlocked at Level 10 and with 7000 Requests (yellow coin). There is no mystery: it is a portable automatic cannon that comes with a backpack to load the projectiles. In addition, it can be operated by two players: one shoots and the other reloads, reducing the time to replenish ammunition and the recoil of the weapon to almost zero.
