When it comes to taking on the relentless hordes of enemies in your fight for democracy in Helldivers 2, having the right loadout can mean the difference between victory and defeat. And while there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, being versatile and customizing your gear based on the situation is the key to success. If you’re gearing up for a showdown against the Automatons in HD2, here’s the ultimate loadout to ensure your victory!
Best Helldivers 2 Loadout for Automatons
| Armor: | CE-74 Breaker / SC-30 Trailblazer Scout |
| Primary Weapon: | SG-225 Breaker / AR-23P Liberator Penetrator |
| Secondary Weapon: | P-19 Redeemer |
| Grenade: | G-16 Impact |
| Stratagem #1 (Support Weapon): | RS-422 Railgun |
| Stratagem #2 (Backpack): | Shield Generator Pack |
| Stratagem #3 (Anti-Outpost): | Orbital Railcannon Strike / Orbital Laser / Eagle 500KG Bomb |
| Stratagem #4 (Single-Target): | Eagle Airstrike |
For armor, we need to prioritize speed to maneuver efficiently across the map, engage/disengage enemies and complete objectives more swiftly. The CE-74 Breaker and SC-30 Trailblazer Scout both offer a Speed stat of 544, with the former providing 2 extra grenade slots but obtainable only from the premium store. The SC-30 Trailblazer Scout armor, on the other hand, can be unlocked for free in Page 7 of the ‘Helldivers Mobilize!’ warbond.
In terms of weaponry, the high-fire-rate, fully automatic SG-225 Breaker shotgun is currently one of the most broken guns in Helldivers 2, and it is insanely effective against any non-heavy-armored enemy. As a backup, the P19 Redeemer automatic pistol serves well, while the Impact Grenade shines against Automatons due to its ability to explode upon impact, making it ideal for swiftly dealing with tougher adversaries like Automaton Tanks by targeting their weak points!
Moving on to Stratagems, versatility is key in selecting the right tools for the job! The Railgun is no doubt one of the best tools you have at your disposal for quickly eliminating medium to heavy armored opponents before they become a threat to your squad, and the Shield Generator Pack will often save your diver’s life in high difficulty missions. For offense, make sure to select one boss-killer Stratagem (like the Eagle Airstrike) and one for handling outposts and mobs efficiently. The Orbital Railcannon is particularly effective against Automaton Tanks and Turret Towers!
Armed with this Automaton Build, you’ll be able to confidently overcome any challenge presented by this faction in Helldivers 2. Feel free to leave a comment if this guide proved helpful, and stay tuned to Gamer Haul for more insightful content!
