Forget the serious strategies—I’m curious about everyone’s favorite loadouts for just having a blast in Helldivers! Recently, I’ve been running the Sickle, Talon, and Quasar with a bubble shield, which is super fun. I also throw in impact nades to keep invading bugs at bay and Eagle Airstrike for a quick exit. I remember back when I was starting out, I would fire off over 7,000 shots in a mission. What’s your favorite carefree loadout that gets you excited?

I’ve been all about the gas mines since they dropped! I love to lay down quad mines, it’s so much fun to watch my friends freak out when I drop them. I usually save it for the end of a campaign after a few drinks. When I’m playing seriously, I switch it up to a hover pack with a grenade launcher—so versatile! But honestly, my reliable combo is still Crossbow, Verdict, MG Sentry, and a Guard Dog. That setup keeps the enemies guessing and usually dead before they know it!
For me, it’s all about the Beam Team 6 loadout! I roll with a Scythe laser cannon, laser dagger, and a guard dog, plus an orbital laser for those epic moments. Can’t get enough of that pew pew action!
I’m all about the arson life! Napalm airstrikes, napalm barrage, and all the flamethrowers. There’s nothing like watching bugs burn for E-710!
Mmm, I’d show up to that cookout. Bugs with butter and Old Bay? Sounds like a plan!
Lately, I’ve been loving a gas drone paired with a flamer as my primary weapon. Toss in a grenade pistol, and I’m good to go! I also like using gas grenades to keep enemies disoriented. Anyone else experience the gas drone backfiring on them?
Does the gas drone ever gas you? I haven’t tried it yet, but seems like you’d need anti-gas armor.
I prefer the sniper approach. I use an Eruptor main weapon, and a Senator secondary, along with some heavy armor and a thermite/grenade combo. The Eruptor is my favorite weapon despite others saying the crossbow is better—sometimes you just gotta roll with what you love, right?
That’s fair! I think some of the ballistics are cooler, but I’m all about that infinite laser ammo life!
Pew pew patrol, my favorite!
