How to Become a Traitor in HELLDIVERS 2: A Scumbag’s Guide
Hey there! Today, I’m going to share some sneaky tricks and tips on how to stir up some trouble in HELLDIVERS 2. Whether you’re into a subtle, behind-the-scenes kind of mischief, prefer to go all out with your betrayals, or love to surprise your teammates with something completely out of the box, I’ve got something for everyone. Plus, I’ll walk you through the perfect gear to turn you into the most feared traitor out there. Ready to have some fun? Let’s jump right in!
Let’s Talk Traitor Tactics
If you’re aiming to be that sneaky troublemaker, consider the pa*sive approach. This involves making your betrayals look like accidents. Maybe toss a grenade a tad too close to your team, or “accidentally” shift your aim to a buddy. The key is to stay under the radar and avoid getting booted from the game.
Feeling bold? Then the aggressive route is for you. This is about making your attacks quick and unmistakable. Drop in from orbit with guns blazing, aim those bombardments carefully, or lock your squadmates in place with rev-locking. It’s all about timing and bold moves.
Or, maybe you’re feeling a bit quirky? Try the unorthodox method. Spend a little too much time dead or away from your keyboard. It might not be the most effective way to disrupt, but it sure can throw a wrench in the team’s plans. Mix and match these styles to keep your teammates guessing and the game interesting.
Picking Your Poison: The Ultimate Traitor’s Arsenal
Now, let’s gear up! To really make a mark (and a mess), you’ll need the right weapons and strategies. Here’s a quick rundown:
For close to medium-range chaos, the SG-225 BREAKER is your go-to. It packs a punch with 330 points of damage and can handle long-range shots too.
The G-6 FRAG grenades are perfect for those “oops” moments, especially with their bouncy nature and substantial damage radius.
Wanna make a big boom? The EAT-17 is your best friend. Aim it well, and you can always blame the carnage on nearby enemies.
For fun with fire, the FLAM-40 lets you engulf your teammates in flames, all while pretending it was an accident, of course.
The ORBITAL AIRBURST STRIKE and EAGLE CLUSTER BOMB are great for those dramatic exits, especially when timed just right during extraction.
For those who prefer a subtler approach, the EAGLE SMOKE STRIKE and A/ARC-3 TESLA TOWER offer ways to annoy and eliminate without direct confrontation.
Don’t forget the MD-6 MINEFIELD for a surprise “gift” and the CE-35 for grenade lovers who like to stay protected (and stylish) in safety orange.
Extra Grenades? Yes, Please!
Starting off with extra grenades means you’re always ready to create a bit of chaos, whether you’re going for the shock and awe right away or saving them for a strategic moment later on.
Finding Your Mark
Where to Begin Your Mischief
First off, scout out where the action’s hot. Look for planets teeming with players or those critical to the enemy’s efforts. This is where you can really make an impact.
By blending these tactics with the right gear, you’re on your way to becoming a master of mayhem. Embrace your inner scoundrel and let the chaos reign supreme on the battlefield!
Spotting Your Prey
Once you’ve got your hotspot, keep an eye out for SOS beacons. These are your ticket to finding missions—and unsuspecting hosts—to disrupt. It’s a clever way to up your game and leave a lasting impression on your “teammates.”
