While the "best" weapon often depends on your playstyle, the following assault rifles are consistently ranked as top-tier choices for taking on the Automaton threat in Helldivers 2.
Against Automatons, the best primary weapons prioritize medium armor penetration, stagger, or explosive damage to handle armored units like Devastators and Scout Striders.
Against the Terminid (bug) faction in Helldivers 2, light armor is widely considered the best choice because speed and stamina are your primary defenses against being swarmed.
Terminid (bug) loadouts in Helldivers 2 prioritize high stagger, fire damage, and anti-tank (AT) capabilities to manage swarms and heavy units like Bile Titans and Chargers.
Against the Automatons, precision and armor penetration are your top priorities. Since most bots have exposed "eyes" or medium-armored vents, weapons that reward accuracy or deal explosive damage perform best.
The Helldivers 2 Superstore operates on a tiered rotation system designed to give players both permanent access to older gear and regular rotations of newer items.
The R-36 Eruptor is a bolt-action explosive rifle in Helldivers 2 that functions more like a portable cannon than a traditional primary weapon. It is unlocked on the second page of the Democratic Detonation Premium Warbond.
The best Helldivers 2 stratagems prioritize high armor-piercing damage, area-of-effect crowd control, and versatile base-clearing capabilities. Top-tier picks include the versatile Eagle Airstrike, armor-shredding Orbital Railcannon Strike, and the Autocannon or Quasar Cannon for anti-tank support. For horde management, the Orbital Laser and Cluster Bomb are essential, while sentries like the Mortar excel at defense.
The CQC-20 Breaching Hammer is a stratagem-level melee support weapon in Helldivers 2, introduced in the Siege Breakers Warbond. It functions as a powerful anti-tank tool that uses explosive charges to deal massive damage at point-blank range.
While the "best" warbond depends on your playstyle, Democratic Detonation is widely considered the top priority for its versatile high-tier gear.
