Helldivers 2launched with a wide variety of Stratagems and Support weapons, but since launch, it’s steadily added new and exciting Stratagems to the game, giving players new options with which they can take the fight to their enemies. The Quasar Cannon is, for many, thebest Support Weapon inHelldivers 2, offering what is basically an EAT-17 with unlimited ammo. It will one-shot Chargers and Hulks — what more would you want?
Despite a nerf to its recharge time (moving from 10 seconds to 15 seconds between shots), as well as requiring a 3-second charge-up for each shot, this weapon is still a must-bring on any high-level mission. Due to the long recharge and its laser-focus on dealing heavy damage to a single target, it requires a balanced loadout to survive and clear the path to eliminating those heavy targets. This guide will detail the best loadouts against the Terminids and Automatons to help the Quasar Cannon shine when it needs to.

The rest of the Terminid forces, however, tend to overwhelm with their hordes of fodder, along with pesky units like the Bile Spewer and the nightmare-inducing Stalkers. Below, you’ll find the best loadout to complement the singular power of the Quasar Cannon against the Terminid menace.

Best Quasar Cannon Loadout Against Automatons
The Quasar Cannon is going to be your first line of defense against Tanks, Hulks, andFactory Striders(and those pesky Cannon Turrets). There are still plenty of other enemies that can easily overwhelm you with endless volleys of laser fire, plus the frequent murder squads of Berserkers. You’ll want to bring a loadout that will help you deal with those smaller (but equally deadly) enemies to free you up to focus on the larger, more dangerous targets on the battlefield.
