Finally found a use for the Machine Gun (self.helldivers2)

Ever since I got the the Stalwart, I've ignored the MG. It baffled me that it hit the last major order before the Stalwart.

Now that we're currently getting the MG strat for free, I've found a use for them: I throw the beacon atop bot factories.

I appreciate this MO because I didn’t pay enough attention to realize the Stalwart isn’t medium armor penetrating. Reloading on the go is nice, but I gained a new appreciation for the standard machine gun.

Stalwart is much easier to aim imo, there are plenty of times I've manager to hit armoured enemies in gaps between armour

Yeah just set it to max fire rate and aim at the glowy bits. You can take down most things pretty easily.

Fair point.

part of my loadout selection is based on how quickly the strategems can be recalled.
