To defeat the enemies, they are divided into two main faction forces, namely the Terminid Faction which is filled with large insect-type monsters, which often have thick armor, and secrete poison through their tongue glands. Also, the Automaton Faction, which consists of killer robots, requires the best Helldivers 2 loadout that you have.

What is loadout? For those of you who are wondering, loadout is a combination of battle sets consisting of primary weapons, secondary weapons, grenades, armor, and stratagems.

Usually, before leaving for an occupation or carrying out a mission from the command center, Helldivers 2 players will often choose several items of this type, to help them win the battle.

With the right loadout, your survival rate or ability to survive in the wild also increases very rapidly.

Do you know the best loadout combination that is suitable for fighting the tough enemies out there? Because, if you think there is no difference in loadout when fighting the Terminid Faction and the Automaton Faction, then you are very wrong.

There will be many differences between the two. This is because the types of enemies from the two factions are very different. Both in terms of stature, and also the type of attack.

For this reason, read this article carefully, so that you can absorb all the information that the author will provide.

First, the author will explain the loadout which is currently meta, after there was an update some time ago.

You can use this loadout at the highest level, and also on the most difficult planets which are usually nicknamed suicide missions, because of their difficulty, and you can meet both types of factions here.

  • Primary: Sickle energy weapons
  • Secondary: Redeemer pistol or Grenade Pistol
  • Grenades: High Explosive or Stun
  • Armor: Light or Medium Armor
  • Stratagems: Quasar Cannon + Personal Shield Generator + Orbital Railcannon Strike, Orbital Laser, and Eagle 500kg Bomb
