Secondaries inHelldivers 2are integral to rounding out your arsenal before each game.
Different enemies, objectives, and even planets can call for a different secondary.

The Stun Lance lives up to its name, dazing most bugs that don’t die in one hit.

This Laser weapon never needs to reload unless you let it overheat, meaning you effectively have unlimited ammo.

It’s also still plenty potent enough to pop the head off most bugs.
Laser weapons heat up faster on hot planets and last longer on cold planets.
Keep the environment in mind before you select this weapon.
This weapon has one of the highest rates of fire in the game.
That’s somewhat limited by a 31-round magazine, which is emptied almost instantly.
Scavengers, Warriors, and even Hive Commanders rarely live through a full clip from this bullet hose.

Consider bringing weapons like the Stalwart and Sickle, which are better at managing their ammo stockpile.
