Helldivers 2 - BEST Illuminate Weapons For The Invasion! Best Illuminate Loadout Primary & Support

Eruptor is erupting

Flak being fixed for this update feels so perfect. We were never gone BUT WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK!!!

Been using the cookout paired with the stalwart, grenade pistol and incendiary grenades. Stalwart pushes back overseers and the fire damage now kills. Em quicker than previously .

Just a quick heads-up.

At the moment there's a glitch that allows you infinite stratagems.

Here's how it works and for the record i haven't tried it yet heard it from a couple of other diver tubers:

1. Select your stratagem. Any will do.
2. Reopen the stratagem menu after you input your code.
3. THROW IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND WATCH 20 500KG's GO OFF AT ONCE!

Be careful though, too many of these will crash your game.

Ohhh that makes so much easier. I just been cooking them

Eruptor need a new lens, the normal one is 10x, but the others have only 6x, they need put a x8 lens.
I dont like lose range efective.

I a heavy arms with:
Eruptor
Veredict
Recoilless Rifle
The normal turret.
The anti tank turret. - Man I love sit and shot in high distances.
And 500kg of democracy.

Armor I use the Street Scout to reload fast the Eruptor.

Also nice tip confirm to me wee can down a jet with the Eruptor.

hiw do you pair a HMG With a Stalwart ? arnt they both 2ndarys ?

Can railgun 1 shot stingray?

use wasp

Arc can lock up the fleshmobs, but man you’ll be cooking forever. With hulks I can 3 shot them, and charger I can break armor and cause fatal bleed.

But the fleshmobs are insanely tough for energy users.

Erupter is terrible. First ammo capacity of 6 rounds this locks you into siege ready armor so you can get a laughable 8 rounds. Try using this thing on helldive 10 you will get overrun unless you have lmg or hmg for votless. The reload and retrigger time is also slow. You can't use it in close combat or you will blow yourself up. It's good for two things really the hulk meat slabs and shooting out the bases once shield are down. I would choose the wasp in conjunction with the blittzer all day. It's way butter option.

i run full laser, sickle + talon + laser cannon aka non stop pew pew without reloading for the whole drop

Thanks for the tips! Haven't touched the update yet, but I've heard from friends that many of their lodouts have become somehow drastically ineffective against the new mobs. I would have checked it myself, but my gpu decided to burn out so badly at the wrong time that I even have to think about cloud services. I think I saw that Helldivers 2 is on Boosteroid.

The air burst launcher is a sleeper pick low key, its the only weapon that one shots the flesh mobs and it can take out chunks of enemies in a single shot, a player who knows how to use it will be sniping fleshmobs and everything else that's with it, just make sure its on flak mode for everything and cluster for the flying overseers

For harvester’s aim for the first joint on the leg that goes down, not the eye. You’ll get red hit markers. Talking about the eruptor

I only used bbq for squids and eruptor for bots. But i got eaten with squids until eruptor

Whats your go to build with the eruptor?

I already use the PLAS 1. This video helped me shoot better!

You were not joking, eruptor and heavy mg is a perfect combo

Purifier, the new sword, laser cannon and suppply pack!

I find the breaker deals with illuminate rather well

You try Airburst rocket launcher on those fleshmobs? My son calls them meat bags lol one shots those meat bags.

LAS Cannon and Arc Thrower used to be OP against illuminate as they can theoretically take everything down in a single clip or a few shots. Havent tested them recently though, but given their variable range and medium armor pen I bet they take out Stingrays and Fleshmobs just as easily as harvesters

Eruptor paired with the regular machine gun is a great set up. Better ammo economy and aim than the hmg and it hits harder than the stalwart.

What can you use against the UFO drop ships now that they have shields?

If you hit a ship spawn with 1 termite on the door it will destroy the ship without worrying about the forcefield.

Summary Guy:

Eruptor
Scorcher
Stalwart
HMG

honorable mentions:

Sniper
Wasp

no image 🤮🤮

witch armor passic

Eruptor, WASP, and air burst are my favorites rn

so glad the Eruptor gets its proper due

Laser cannon

Arc thrower is good but definitely feels like more of a support weapon instead of a big damage dealer. Its ability to stun watchers and havestors is so nice

They need to stop power-rotting guns by making every enemy have a billion hp except fodder that you can spit at to evaporate.

WASP can kill flesh mobs in 4 hits (sometimes it gets 1 with artillery mode), overseers in 1 hit and your ex gf jet in 1-2 hits

It's an Eruptor meta now, possibly on every front, but certainly vs. the squids and the bugs. It's always bsen strong, but now it's back to being an Autocannon in the primary slot

TIER 10 feels like TIER 6 or is it just me

Epic

Honestly, I think people are sleeping on the scythe/laser cannon.

I've been running both and they have been making short work of pretty much everything, the ignite changes make the fleshmobs cry ugly tears.

the eye on the harvester isnt it weakspot, its the leg joints

I found a really fun kit last night, the superstore heacy armor with extra padding
Adjudicator
Crisper
Thermites (mainly fir the flesh movs, they kill them with just one)
Mg-43
Jump pack
i also brought eagle cluster and eagle 500kg

The jump pack is really the only reason the heavy armor works, when you srart to get overrun, the crisper kills vote less just by setting them on fire, so you can tap with it to be more efficient, mg kills harvesters, interlopers, groups of overseers, and flesh mobs in a pinch (or at range), and adjudicator is great for 1-2 overseers and the watchers

Regarding your Eruptor question at the end of the video (is it good against the other factions?):
If you haven't answered that for yourself by now, I can tell you 100% the current iteration of the Eruptor is absolute fire on a bot dive.

Airburst in cluster can 1 shot multiple flesh mobs

Wasp is great against everything but harvesters - I find it lacks consistency since you can't really aim it at the weak points. That said, I also gotta give it up for the Purifier - that charged shot does a decent job of dealing with almost every squid enemy, and it even staggers harvesters consistently (though it doesn't damage them very well). Purifier/Wasp/grenade pistol or Senator/gas grenade has been really fun to use vs. Illuminate!

Eruptor is goat for squids and bots. Blitzer with bullet dog is still my bug choice even after upgradable weapons. No need to upgrade anything.

If you like a weapon the customization screen probably helped, but the best weapons are still the best weapons. I don't feel like that really changed.
