“That’s a stupid amount of damage output”: Helldivers 2 Autocannon Hack May Make Arrowhead Consider Nerfing the Weapon

We could all use teammates like OP in Helldivers 2.

SUMMARY

  • A Redditor shared a video of their team using AC-8 Autocannons with flawless coordination.
  • The team's strategy involved one player reloading teammates' Autocannons to keep the frontline clear.
  • Commenters admired the teamwork and suggested adding turrets and mines for even greater efficiency.

In co-op titles like Helldivers 2, coordination between you and your team is everything. If every teammate is off in a different direction doing something completely different, you will fail the mission faster than you can count to five.

That’s why moments where every single member is on the same page, moving like a single entity, are amusing to watch. One player on Redditor had to show off some insane teamwork they pulled off recently, and it’s nothing less than mesmerizing.

Helldivers 2 Players Pull off the Ultimate Show of Teamwork

There are times when you’re paired with teammates and one goes rushing to the frontline only to get killed instantly, one is AFK, another forgets about the objective and is off doing some solo-killing, and you’re wondering why you bothered booting up your game.

What this Redditor posted is not one of those moments—far from it, even. It shows one of those rare instances of teamwork where you and your teammates get each other on another level.

In the video, we see three players hunkered down together, blasting incoming enemies with their Helldivers 2 Autocannons.

OP rapidly moves between them, providing backup by reloading their Autocannons the second they need.

Thanks to this coordination, the frontline stays mostly clear as the players fire as rapidly as turrets can.

If you’re ever having problems with enemies approaching too fast, this might be the party trick for you. Although, with how overpowered this strategy seems, these Helldivers 2 weapons might be the next to get nerfed.

The comments under OP’s post were completely enchanted by the video, although it does look a bit silly to see. Some wished people would stand by them and help them reload the same way OP did for their teammates.

One reply expressed how they wished they could learn this special power seen in the video—coordination.

As we’ve seen before, it’s not something not all of us will have the privilege of experiencing, but for those that do, treasure that moment and never let go of it.

Of course, OP’s strategy might be great, but there are always ways to improve on what you’re doing.

A fellow Helldiver suggested something that would take the total damage output of the team to the next level.

Essentially, throw some turrets down nearby, place mines in the directions that enemies are approaching from, and you’re set for the whole mission. Enemies won’t be able to set foot close to your team.

Do you have any strategies similar to this that you like to use in Helldivers 2? Feel free to share them in the comments below!
