Helldivers 2 players won over by the new anti-tank arsenal against the Terminides

Thanks to a recent update to Helldivers 2, a new meta has gained popularity, with its anti-tank nature dominating against some difficult Terminids.

Democracy isn’t always easy to defend in Helldivers 2, especially when it comes to the Automatons and Terminides. As such, well-thought-out equipment is crucial in any battle, along with a great team and some important strategies.

However, whether you’re looking for the ideal build for Automaton or Terminide, or even Solo, the meta is always changing and it’s vital to stay up to date if you want to continue offering the enemy a cup of liber-tea. Also, the March 12 update highlighted an incredible key weapon and Stratagem.

Helldivers 2 update brings buff to Recoilless Rifle & EAT-17 Anti-Tank Stratagem

Sharing his discovery on Reddit, player LaDiscoDiCristo revealed that the EAT-17 Anti-Tank Charge Stratagem and Recoilless Rifle are “now perhaps the strongest anti-tank option against bugs after the recent update.”

He then explained in more detail. “It only takes 1 headshot to kill a loader now, 2/4 headshots for corrisive titans (both recoilless and EATs but it’s pretty inconsistent from what I’ve seen). I heard). You can call the EATs every minute, having on average the capacity to take care of 2 chargers per minute not counting other people who bring them.”

Thus, the Stratagem and rifle combination instantly becomes powerful. It could allow you to easily take over any armored Terminid with disconcerting ease.

Players were delighted with this revelation. Many thought the weapon and Stratagem “deserved” these buffs. This is because “they are logistically the most difficult to use and lack ammunition”, making them more balanced in the long term.

“Yeah, that’s a really good change,” another player added, commenting that they now need to “think hard about how much I want to bring my shield and grenade launcher versus EATs or recoilless rifle.” This was a huge +1 for build diversity.»

Others have compared the Rifle and EATs to another powerful meta weapon in Helldivers 2, the Railgun. “With this change, they are now stronger than the railgun. They take down landing ships with a single shot, eliminating magazines with a single well-placed shot. and in the case of EATs, you’re not as screwed if you die with it, you can just call another one in 1 minute.”
