"Helldivers 2: Introducing the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon, MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun, and Two New Stratagems"

After the CEO of Helldivers 2 studio initially denied the existence of heavy machine guns, two heavy weapons, the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun, have been introduced in-game. The Quasar Cannon is geared towards taking out tanky enemies, while the HMG has significant recoil variations based on stance. Both weapons complement the game's arsenal and do not require a support backpack, offering alternatives to existing weapons.
