It’s no secret that a lot ofHelldivers 2players avoid using the Machine Guns in the game, primarily because of the recoil and long reload time but if you haven’t tried the MG-206 yet, then we recommend that you definitely should. The recoil can be tricky to master but this machine gun absolutely rips through tough Automaton units without any issues.

In a video shared on theHelldivers 2subreddit, players can see how effective this weapon is, especially against Annihilator Tanks, Hulks, and Dropships. In case you’re not interested in reloading or controlling the recoil, players can also use E/MG-101 HMG Emplacement which is just a variation of the MG-206, but better.

The MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun is an underrated Stratagem inHelldivers 2

The MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun has a bad reputation for its horrible recoil and reload time. Due to this feedback from the community, many players often ignore this weapon and if you’re one of those who haven’t touched it yet, then you definitely should because this Stratagem would make you unstoppable.

If you’re worried about the recoil, try using a recoil-reducing armor. To save some time on the battlefield, verify you also equip a B-1 Supply Pack with the MG-206. This Stratagem has a 3-second Call-In time with a 480-second cooldown time.
