Defeating robotic enemies with your friends is such a joy in Helldivers 2. However, that may change if you don’t learn about deeper mechanics of the game, especially if it gets a bit harder as you progress. One of the important things in the game is armor-piercing rounds and bullets, and in this guide, we’ll cover everything related to it in Helldivers 2.
How to Get Armor Piercing Rounds in Helldivers 2
In Helldivers 2 all weapons have armor-piercing rounds by default. The difference is that some weapons have Light Armor Penetrating rounds while some have Medium Armor Penetrating rounds. You can check the type of rounds your weapons have via the Weaponary or Warbond menu.
As the name of these rounds suggests, they penetrate armor to hit the flesh or deal great damage in the case of robotic enemies. Depending on the type of enemy you face and saving ammunition, you should always switch between these weapons. Here are some of the best weapons with Light and Medium armor-penetrating rounds:
- SG-225 Breaker Shotgun (Light Armor)
- AR-23E Liberator Explosive Assault Rifle (Light Armor)
- AR-23P Liberator Penetrator Assault Rifle (Medium Armor)
- Jar-5 Dominator Explosive (Medium Armor)
Just in case you run out of ammo, some Stratagem Support weapons can also be helpful in such situations, especially when it comes to armored vehicles and bulkier enemies. Here are some of the best Stratagem Support Weapons to keep in mind:
- EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank
- RS-422 Railgun
- FAF-14 Spear
- GL-21 Grenade Launcher
