Initial thoughts on the Quasar and heavy machine gun? (self.helldivers2)

What does everyone think of the new weapons? I'm liking the Quasar against bots in particular because it can take out dropships and heavy enemies, though I'm still getting used to the windup time. I haven't tried the heavy machine gun much, but so far it seems fine, if somewhat ammo-hungry.

For efficiency the EAT is still my go to. But for convenience that Quasar is top tier. The cool down is a little rough but with enough people on your squad bringing it it's easily my new favorite. Plus you can snipe objectives and automaton drop ships with way better accuracy than a rocket. Still bring the EAT every now and then for the quickness. But the Quasar gives me Halo Spartan Laser vibes for all the right reasons.

Machine gun is meh. Good to have when you are getting swarmed and need a quick out, but that's a very specific need to take up an entire stratagem slot.
