Helldivers 2 (8 Weapons To Against Automatons): How Do They Perform In Combat?

Mar 06, 2025 Author: EZG

If you are a big fan of movies like Guardians of the Galaxy or Star Wars, then you will definitely love Helldivers 2. As a direct sequel to Helldivers, although Helldivers 2 is a shooting game, it sets the story and combat background in the 22nd century universe, with a strong sense of the future and interstellar colors, and has a unique charm.

After entering the game, you need to fight to defend Super Earth and eliminate all hostile forces and factions in the galaxy. Although the most powerful enemy in the game is Illuminate, the threats posed by Terminids and Automatons cannot be ignored, and they may even become more powerful in the future.

Based on this, this time we will focus on introducing you to the 8 best weapons against Automatons to help you defend Super Earth. Helldivers 2 (8 Weapons To Against Automatons): How Do They Perform In Combat?

1. R-36 Eruptor

As one of the main weapons in the game, R-36 Eruptor can kill Automatons with great power. Its bullets are explosive and can easily penetrate and kill enemies with light to medium armor after firing. It is also easy to obtain. You only need 60 Helldivers 2 Medals to enjoy the excellent combat experience provided by this weapon.

Although the disadvantage of the eruptor is that it is only suitable for long-range shooting, you will find that the weapons used by Automatons start shooting from a distance in actual combat. You can use the eruptor to hit the enemy before they hit you.

2. LAS-5 Scythe

The biggest advantage of this weapon is that it is based on the fact that it is an energy weapon, which means that as long as you don’t let it overheat, it can provide unlimited ammunition, which is very useful for fighting against Automatons because they will spawn a lot of soldiers. Such a gun with unlimited potential can be exchanged for 35 medals, it is really lucky. However, since LAS-5 Scythe has no recoil, you should be careful to manage its heat meter during the trial, and make sure your aim is up to par, so as not to end up missing the target.

3. LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle

This weapon is a bit like an upgraded version of LAS-5 Scythe, although it requires more medals, but it is indeed more powerful than LAS-5 Scythe - it deals enough damage to penetrate heavy enemy armor, has unlimited ammunition, and has no cooldown.

Unfortunately, this weapon has a fatal flaw, which is that it may hurt on you if used too long. Therefore, it is recommended to choose it when facing a tough Automaton battle, and at the same time, keep an eye on its heat meter.

4. MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun

When you get a heavy machine gun like MG-206 in Helldivers 2, you must wonder if it can successfully fight against the heaviest Automatons? The good news is that it can do this! In fact, MG-206 can even easily destroy Automaton enemies such as Scout Striders and Devastators with its high rate of fire and damage.

But a warm reminder, the total amount of ammunition that can be equipped with this weapon is relatively small, so if you want it to achieve continuous output in battle, it is best to pay attention to its ammunition magazine to keep it stable.

5. AC-8 Autocannon

Autocannon weapons such as AC-8 can deal with almost all the dangers brought by Automatons, because it has two types of ammunition, one for a single heavy threat, and the other for destroying multiple light units at the same time, allowing it to adjust its output mode in time according to the combat situation.

The disadvantage of this weapon is that its spare ammunition needs to occupy your backpack slot to save, and the reload time is also very long. For this reason, we recommend that you can use AC-8 Autocannon to help your teammates during team battles, to give them time to rest.

6. GR-8 Recoilless Rifle

GR-8 Recoilless Rifle is designed to deal with heavily armored Automatons. Even without targeting the enemy’s weak points, GR-8 ammunition can easily knock them down. Although it has the same flaws as AC-8 Autocannon, its powerful damage output is enough to make you ignore this shortcoming.

7. FAF-14 Spear

The best feature of this weapon is that it can lock on to the target in advance to attack, thus creating a safe enough distance between you and the enemy. The maximum range of 300 meters of FAF-14 means that you can use it to eliminate Automaton units before they get close to you.

However, please confirm two things before using this weapon: first, its lock function will prevent you from shooting other targets after locking on; second, its total ammunition holding is low. All of these mean that you must choose your targets wisely to maximize the use of FAF-14 Spear.

8. ARC-3 Arc Thrower

The ability to emit high voltage electricity makes Arc Thrower weapons perfect for dealing with mechanical enemies such as Automatons. In fact, ARC-3 can easily bypass the enemy’s armor and directly attack in actual combat, which reduces your combat pressure to a certain extent.

However, the lightning emitted by this weapon does not distinguish between enemies and friends in combat, so if you plan to use it in a team battle, you need to inform your teammates in advance so that they can make predictions and avoid being accidentally injured.

After the introduction, I believe you should already know what weapon to choose to fight against Automatons. I wish you good luck in the battle!

No.10 Jackson Holliday

Orioles 2B
OVR: 73
Speed: 90

Although some players may ignore Holliday because of his lack of strong hitting ability, it must be admitted that his attributes in other aspects are very reliable, such as high enough contact rate and defensive attributes, as well as fast movement speed.

In this way, Holliday can not only maintain a high stability in the infield, but also benefit the long-term development of your entire team. If you like small ball tactics, he can provide you with surprising help.

No.9 Roman Anthony

Red Sox CF
OVR: 87
Control L: 95
Availability: Pipeline Collection

The excellence of this player is mainly reflected in his extraordinary speed and defensive ability, and more importantly, he even has reliable hitting ability. All this makes Anthony not only suitable as a center fielder, but also a perfect starting hitter or defensive substitute-his potential is unlimited.

No.8 Walker Jenkins

Twins CF
OVR: 87
Accuracy: 79
Availability: Pipeline Program

Jenkins is a player who takes advantage of his power. His high power rating and hitting ability enable him to play as the best hitter in your team and provide you with a reliable source of scoring. Although his other abilities are average, his unparalleled offensive potential is worth consuming MLB 25 Stubs for him.

No.7 Kristian Campbell

Red Sox 2B
OVR: 87
Control R: 84

Compared with other rookie players, Campbell’s feature is that he has a strong “adaptability” and can bring outstanding performance in most positions, making him a flexible choice when you build your team, not to mention his hidden defensive and offensive potential.

No.6 Dylan Crews

Nationals RF
OVR: 78
Reach: 99

Like Campbell, Crews is adaptable and flexible, which is why they are both suitable as your Diamond Dynasty players. However, what really matters about him is his fielding attributes, so although he can play most positions, it is recommended that you consider his strengths when arranging.

No.5 Jackson Jobe

Tigers SP
OVR 86
Control: 85
Availability: Team Affinity

With extremely high pitching potential, Jobe can bring extraordinary pitching performance on the mound, and his ball control ability is also reliable, making him an indispensable starting pitcher in your team. And as his ability continues to improve, it is expected to bring more exciting game performances.

No.4 Andrew Painter

Phillies SP
OVR: 87
Velocity: 96

Painter is expected to suppress the opponent in the game mainly because of his extremely high break rate and speed. In addition, his solid control and endurance also make him able to help your team’s long-term development.

No.3 Elly De La Cruz

Reds SS
OVR: 90
Speed: 99
Available: Takeover Program

De La Cruz’s all-around attributes make him not only a reliable shortstop, but also a potent threat to the opponent. Excellent speed and athleticism, good contact rate and fast speed, and excellent defensive ability, he has almost all the qualities that a star player should have.

No.2 Gunnar Henderson

Orioles SS
OVR: 85
Quirks: Homebody, Unfazed, Fighter

Like Walker Jenkins, Henderson is an excellent hitter known for his power, and combined with his solid contact ability, he will be invincible in the strike zone. The additional advantage of Henderson is that his fielding attributes are also good, and he can take on the third baseman.

No.1 Paul Skenes

Pirates SP
OVR: 88
Quirk: Outlier 1

As the top of this rookie player list, Skenes can not only play the most reliable starting pitcher in your team with his excellent speed and breakthrough rating, as well as extremely high control skills and endurance, but also ensure that he can maintain a good state for most of the game.

Based on the above performance, Skenes can provide a wonderful experience for your Diamond Dynasty mode while contributing to the long-term development of your team. However, correspondingly, the stubs required to recruit him are also a lot!

After the introduction, you must have decided which rookie player to recruit as a new member of your team, so go ahead!

MapleStory N Combined With Blockchain: What Economic System Does It Use?

As a game with more than 250 million registered users, over 50 million of whom have been playing for more than 10 years, MapleStory has a large and active group of loyal players. MapleStory’s producers creatively combined blockchain and games to allow players to trade more freely.

After nearly three years of development and testing, MapleStory N will be officially launched on May 15, but it is restricted in many regions because of regional policies.

How Does The Economy Of MapleStory N Work?

There is no in-game cash store in the game MapleStory N. Instead, there is a market in the game that allows players to trade NFTs. Players get in-game items through the game, which can be converted to NFTs on the chain and then traded on the market. When players spontaneously trade these items, MapleStory N NESO in the game will circulate, thus building an ecological economy according to the laws of the market economy.

Economic System

To make the game more interesting and maintain the value of items, there are two new systems in the game. The first is the limited supply system in reality. Each item has a fixed total quantity, and players can check the remaining quantity through the game dashboard and map. The quantity of items is not released all at once, but gradually released according to a certain period. Moreover, if a certain item is completely consumed within the specified period, it will not be supplied in the next period.

The second is Demand-Driven Pricing system based on demand. The principle of this system is that if the demand for enhancement increases (that is, more players want to enhance), MapleStory N NESO required for enhancement will increase; conversely, if the demand decreases (fewer players enhance), MapleStory N NESO required will decrease. Through this system, the developers hope to go beyond the current situation where players only like certain specific items, promote the increase in demand for various items, and maintain the importance and value of each item.

Game developers does not regard NFT sales as a direct source of income, but has built a market for trading NFTs between players, and through the circulation of the in-game currency NESO, it has realized an ecological, economic system based on market economic rules. In addition, the introduction of limited supply and Demand-Driven Pricing mechanisms aims to ensure the health and sustainability of the game economy, while enhancing player interaction and game fun.

MLB The Show 25 May Player OVR Changes: How Many Players Got A Boost?

In the early May update of MLB The Show 25, numerous players’ OVRs changed. Many players received a 1-3 point increase or decrease. Players with increased ratings also saw a significant increase in value on the free market, allowing players who own these players to earn some stubs.

The biggest improvement is Hunter Brown, who got a huge 6-point increase, instantly upgrading from 76 points to 82 points, and his value has also doubled several times. You now need about 2000 stubs to unlock him.

There are quite a few players left, and the value of players below 80 OVR will not fluctuate much even if the points change, so the following content is not counted.
