Helldivers 2 is pure adrenaline-fueled chaos! Swarms of bugs, frantic rescues, and those pesky alien dropships constantly dropping reinforcements – it’s enough to make any Super Earth soldier break a sweat. But here’s the thing: you can turn those dropships into fiery scrap metal with the right firepower. Let’s break down how!
The One-Shot Powerhouse
The GR-8 Recoilless Rifle is a beast. Aim this bad boy at either side of a Dropship’s engine, and boom! The sheer impact and explosive force will destroy that engine, sending the entire ship crashing with all those bugs still on board. Sweet, simple, and incredibly satisfying.
Snipe Those Engines
Got some anti-tank weaponry on hand? The EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank, for example, is also capable of taking down dropships mid-air. The trick is precision. You need to target one of those four engines directly.
Hitting the ship anywhere else will cause damage, but you want a full-blown crash landing. Remember, dropships are fast until they deploy troops, so you’ll need to be quick and accurate with those shots.
Why Bother With Those Dropships?
Taking out a dropship before it unloads its troops is a major win. You prevent a swarm of enemies from even touching the ground, turning a potential struggle into a swift victory. Fewer bugs mean a safer Super Earth.
Other heavy-duty weapons might also take out those dropships, but the GR-8 and EAT-17 are particularly effective. If you have them, use them! Dropships slow down right before deployment. That’s your golden window for hitting those engines accurately. Coordinate with your squadmates. Having multiple Helldivers blasting a dropship significantly increases your chances of success.
Final Words
Each dropship you destroy is a small victory in itself. Master these techniques, and you’ll become a dropship-wrecking machine, saving countless lives on those chaotic battlefields. Now get out there and give those aliens a taste of Super Earth’s finest!
