As players in Helldivers 2 continue the mission to spread democracy across the galaxy, it is important for them to have the best weapons at their disposal. By equipping themselves with proper gear and using the Stratagems strategically, players can defeat the alien enemies and move forward in the game’s various missions.
When it comes to fighting the big boys, the use of correct Stratagems becomes very important. They are devices or weapons that players can take from their orbiting ship to assist them in the fight against the alien enemies. Choosing the appropriate Stratagem becomes important as players can carry a total of four of them on a mission.
Helldivers 2 gets the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon
To make their fight for spreading democracy easy, Helldivers 2 players have been introduced to the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon. The Quasar Cannon Stratagem was introduced to the game on March 28, and it will help the players take on the Automaton and Terminid threats. Helldivers can get their hands on the Stratagem as long as they meet the level and credit requirements to unlock it.
The Quasar Cannon will come in handy now after the latest Major Order from Super Earth tasked players with fighting the aliens in order to liberate planet Troost. This also means that the Stratagem can be extensively used against fighting the Automatons robots.
The Quasar Cannon also boosts some of the best specs among the Stratagems. The specifications of the Quasar Cannon are listed below:
- It comes with infinite ammo.
- No need to reload.
- Has zero projectile drop.
- Has infinite range.
- It takes 2 shots in the head to kill Bile Titans.
- It takes 1 shot in the head to kill Chargers.
- It takes 1 shot at the visor to kill Hulks.
- It takes 2 shots to take down Cannon Towers.
- It takes 2 shots to take down Annihilator Tank.
- It takes 1 shot to take down Shredder Tank.
The only thing players should keep in mind is the wind-up time to take the shoot and the wind-down time to charge for the next shoot. There is another drawback to the Quasar Cannon as it needs charging up, which takes a few seconds, however, it does automatically fire once it’s ready to go.
Helldivers 2 players who are currently using the Quasar Cannon to spread democracy are also loving it. The specs of the Stratagem make it a good anti-tank weapon, and players are happy that the Quasar Cannon doesn’t have a reload animation. Moreover, since it comes with an infinite range it now becomes easy to take down the Hulks and Bile Titans.

The good news is that every player in the game can get their hands on the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon which can be added to their Super Destroyer arsenal. Players can buy this Quasar Cannon from the Stratagems page which is available on their Super Destroyer.
