Helldivers 2features bugs and bot factions that are fixated on destroying Super Earth.
While the former was initially used for farming E-710 elements, the latter aims to destroy all life forms.
Likethe Termind shriekers, gunships are aerial threats that appear while fighting bots.
Here is how to complete a Hard mission using the secondary weapon in the game.
The gunships are a new enemy bang out added to the Automaton faction.
They chase and fire a few types of arsenal at you.
This guide breaks down how to find and destroy gunships and the fabricators that make them.
How To Find And Defeat Gunships
The gunships aremainly found near the fabricator buildingsthat make these.
Sometimes you will even find them patrolling the nearby areas.
That is because theynever strike alone and always roam the airspace in a pack.
Light armor-penetrating primary weapons are useless against gunships.
They have thick armor that only the support weapons, the blue stratagem ones, can penetrate and destroy.
Always target the enginesof the gunships as they are weak spots similar to the bot dropship.
You should also scrub the area before a gunship comes crashing at you.
If you find yourself below one, you will die immediately from the impact.
Thehardest part of facing the gunships is the blinding red lightat the front.
Thegunships usually fire a high rate of fire plasma lasersat you.
However, these ships will sometimes switchweaponry and fire rocket barrages,too.
Destroying the gunship fabricators is a side objective, so alwayslook for red spots on your mapto find them.
Unlike bot fabricators, gunship fabricatorsdo not have an openingto throw a grenade.
The only way to get rid of them is toblast them using the highest damage stratagems.
TheHellbombs have little AoE, and their blast radius obliterates anything in them.
However, you need toposition the stratagem properly.
If you think this could blow away the facility, you will waste two or three Eagle Airstrike stratagems.
Before you call the Hellbombmission stratagem, see to it youeliminate any gunships guarding the fabricator.
Once you havecleared the airspace by destroying the roaming gunships, it takes some timebefore the fabricators make more.
