Helldivers 2 Players Need to Start Using an Underrated Stratagem With Insane Recoil But Chews Through Bots Like Hot Knife Through Butter for Latest Vernen Wells Major Order

It’s no secret that a lot of Helldivers 2 players avoid using the Machine Guns in the game, primarily because of the recoil and long reload time but if you haven’t tried the MG-206 yet, then we recommend that you definitely should. The recoil can be tricky to master but this machine gun absolutely rips through tough Automaton units without any issues.

In a video shared on the Helldivers 2 subreddit, players can see how effective this weapon is, especially against Annihilator Tanks, Hulks, and Dropships. In case you’re not interested in reloading or controlling the recoil, players can also use E/MG-101 HMG Emplacement which is just a variation of the MG-206, but better.

The MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun is an underrated Stratagem in Helldivers 2

The MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun has a bad reputation for its horrible recoil and reload time. Due to this feedback from the community, many players often ignore this weapon and if you’re one of those who haven’t touched it yet, then you definitely should because this Stratagem would make you unstoppable.

If you’re worried about the recoil, try using a recoil-reducing armor. To save some time on the battlefield, make sure you also equip a B-1 Supply Pack with the MG-206. This Stratagem has a 3-second Call-In time with a 480-second cooldown time.

Helldivers 2 Could Provide an Entirely New Mode Based Around a Stim Idea that’d Make Helldive Difficulty Look Like Child’s Play; But It’d Cost Too Much

In a clip shared by Ziggy_blue_jean on the r/Helldivers2 subreddit, one can see how effective this Stratagem is. In close to mid range, this weapon takes only a few seconds to destroy any Automaton unit. This Stratagem will be available for 6,000 Requisition points when you reach Level 12.

Players have pointed out that Helldivers 2 needs a minigun

It’s strange how players have all sorts of weapons in Helldivers 2 but a minigun is missing. Players have been asking for a minigun for quite some time now but they’ve got nothing so far. In case, you still wish to have that minigun experience in the game, try using the M-105 Stalwart machine gun at 1150 RPM.

At the moment, a new Major Order has been announced and players have been ordered to liberate Marfark and Vernen Wells from Automaton enemies, so now is the best time to try out the MG-206. With the Illuminate preparing for its invasion, players should expect to see some new gear, weapons, and Stratagems in the next big update, which is expected to roll out soon.

Helldivers 2 is available on Windows and PlayStation 5.
