The bed bugs won't know what hit them. Here is how to get and use the Machine Gun in Helldivers 2. How to unlock the Machine Gun in Helldivers 2 The Machine Gun is just one of the many\u00a0Stratagems\u00a0in\u00a0Helldivers 2. It is a\u00a0support weapon, putting powerful armor penetrating bullets in the spotlight. While you need a mix of artillery fire, support weapons, and a good primary weapon as your loadout foundation, the Machine Gun is a great pick on the lower-end of the difficulty scale. You can quickly purchase the Machine Gun in your early days of your Helldiver career. Visit the\u00a0Ship Management\u00a0inside your\u00a0Super Destroyer\u00a0and scroll over to\u00a0Stratagems. The Machine Gun is the first support weapon in\u00a0Helldivers 2. Call in the Machine Gun with \u25bc\u25c4\u25bc\u25b2\u25ba. It has a 480-second cooldown, with two massive magazine capacities, and an extremely high firing rate. The Machine Gun is a go-to weapon for Terminid swarm annihilation, and is incredibly helpful against heavy armored enemies. As enemy spawns increase and types vary in higher difficulty settings, we don't recommend the Machine Gun for solo Helldivers in difficulties higher than Challenging. How to easily kill 200 enemies with the Machine Gun in Helldivers 2 Head to Terminid missions with frequent enemy spawns like the\u00a0Purge Hatcheries, Eradicate Terminid Swarm, and Retrieve Essential Personnel. You can visit Automaton-controlled planets for Machine Gun kills, but we recommend the Terminid due to the high Bug Breach frequency and how easily you can kill Hive Guards and Brood Commanders with this support weapon. Make sure to call in a\u00a0Supply Pack\u00a0(purchasable from level three for 4000 credits) to replenish your ammunition and stims. The Machine Gun is usable in third-person and\u00a0first-person mode. Use first-person for long-range shooting and third-person when enemies get close. It has manageable recoil, albeit with slow mobility. Make sure your primary and secondary weapon have full magazines in case you need to reload the Machine Gun. Watch out for any\u00a0Hunters. They can easily bypass the Machine Gun if you run out of ammunition. Use this weapon in mid- to long-range so you aren't putting yourself in a position to be surrounded. Finally, the Machine Gun has a somewhat long reload time. Make sure you aren't reloading with any enemies around you.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/HELLDIVERS2_machine_gun.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165303"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2396"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1165303"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165303\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1165477,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165303\/revisions\/1165477"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1165413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1165303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1165303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1165303"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1165303"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1165303"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1165303"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1165303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The bed bugs won't know what hit them. Here is how to get and use the Machine Gun in Helldivers 2. How to unlock the Machine Gun in Helldivers 2 The Machine Gun is just one of the many\u00a0Stratagems\u00a0in\u00a0Helldivers 2. It is a\u00a0support weapon, putting powerful armor penetrating bullets in the spotlight. While you need a mix of artillery fire, support weapons, and a good primary weapon as your loadout foundation, the Machine Gun is a great pick on the lower-end of the difficulty scale. You can quickly purchase the Machine Gun in your early days of your Helldiver career. Visit the\u00a0Ship Management\u00a0inside your\u00a0Super Destroyer\u00a0and scroll over to\u00a0Stratagems. The Machine Gun is the first support weapon in\u00a0Helldivers 2. Call in the Machine Gun with \u25bc\u25c4\u25bc\u25b2\u25ba. It has a 480-second cooldown, with two massive magazine capacities, and an extremely high firing rate. The Machine Gun is a go-to weapon for Terminid swarm annihilation, and is incredibly helpful against heavy armored enemies. As enemy spawns increase and types vary in higher difficulty settings, we don't recommend the Machine Gun for solo Helldivers in difficulties higher than Challenging. How to easily kill 200 enemies with the Machine Gun in Helldivers 2 Head to Terminid missions with frequent enemy spawns like the\u00a0Purge Hatcheries, Eradicate Terminid Swarm, and Retrieve Essential Personnel. You can visit Automaton-controlled planets for Machine Gun kills, but we recommend the Terminid due to the high Bug Breach frequency and how easily you can kill Hive Guards and Brood Commanders with this support weapon. Make sure to call in a\u00a0Supply Pack\u00a0(purchasable from level three for 4000 credits) to replenish your ammunition and stims. The Machine Gun is usable in third-person and\u00a0first-person mode. Use first-person for long-range shooting and third-person when enemies get close. It has manageable recoil, albeit with slow mobility. Make sure your primary and secondary weapon have full magazines in case you need to reload the Machine Gun. Watch out for any\u00a0Hunters. They can easily bypass the Machine Gun if you run out of ammunition. Use this weapon in mid- to long-range so you aren't putting yourself in a position to be surrounded. Finally, the Machine Gun has a somewhat long reload time. Make sure you aren't reloading with any enemies around you.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/HELLDIVERS2_machine_gun.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165303"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2396"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1165303"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165303\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1165477,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165303\/revisions\/1165477"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1165413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1165303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1165303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1165303"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1165303"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1165303"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1165303"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1165303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
