Introduction

This video presents Swany's top 10 favorite fully upgraded weapons in Helldivers 2.

Key Takeaways

• Eruptor: Excellent against various enemy types; excels at crowd control and destroying structures. The angled foregrip is recommended for optimal ergonomics.
• LAS-5 Scythe: High-capacity heatsink magazine is preferred for sustained fire, maximizing burn damage on larger enemies. Pairs well with gas-based weapons.
• Breaker Incendiary: Iron sights are recommended for optimal ergonomics and crowd control. The duckbill muzzle is best for wide spread, enabling efficient crowd clearing and fire damage.
• JAR 5 Dominator: High ergonomics are achievable with attachments; burst fire mode is recommended for precision at range.
• MP-98 Knight: A significantly improved SMG post-update; boasts high accuracy and a fast fire rate. The extended magazine is recommended for sustained fire.
• Liberator Penetrator: Medium armor penetration and drum magazine make it deadly; the two-times tube red dot scope enhances accuracy at range.
• Breaker: High damage (330); offers versatility with full choke for single targets and duckbill for crowd control. The short magazine pairs well with Siege Ready armor for fast reloads.
• Adjudicator: High damage (95) and medium armor penetration; exceptionally accurate with various attachment options. The vertical foregrip enhances accuracy.
• Reprimand: Significantly improved accuracy post-update; strong damage (125) and medium armor penetration. The compensator muzzle offers manageable recoil.
