I’m really eager to decimate as many bots as possible in Helldivers. Any suggestions on loadouts that maximize their defeat would be great. Thanks for all the tips so far—can’t wait to test them out!

For those who like to play up close, consider the Arc Thrower, rocket sentry, anti-tank emplacement, and 500kg bomb. Combine it with an exploding crossbow and thermite grenades for backup. I’ve handled full patrols solo with this setup and achieved some impressive kill counts. The key is timing with AoE bolts and letting the rocket sentry clean up the stragglers.
Simplifying things, I’ve had success with an HMG along with a supply pack, Eagle Strafing run, and AT emplacement. Add in siege armour, a reprimand SMG, and thermite grenades to round it off. This setup delivers a good balance of offense and longevity, helping fend off medium-threat bots efficiently.
Try using Purifier, Eagle airstrike, AT emplacement, and autosentry combo. It crushes the bots quickly, especially if you swap Eagle for orbital napalm. This tweak helps cover you from light to mid-range bots, ensuring they don’t gang up on you. Keeping a robust primary like the Crossbow will really help when the bots close in.
One strong setup is using the Lib Pen, Adjudicator, and Tenderizer as your main pick. Pair those with the Senator as your secondary and a Recoilless Rifle as support for powerful one-shot capabilities on most enemies. As for stratagems, go with Eagle Strafe, Laser, and your choice of 120 HE, 380 HE, or Walking Barrage. Different weapons shine for different playstyles, so feel free to test things out. Some players prefer the Purifier or Crossbow for distance. Ultimately, find what suits you best, as there’s no singular ‘best’ loadout in Helldivers!
I’m rocking a heavy MG, anti-tank emplacement, walking barrage, and 380mm barrage. This combo lets me stand my ground against pretty much any foe. For extra security, I advise using siege armour to withstand tougher bot waves.
