One of the most impressive weapons in Helldivers 2 is the Railgun. This powerful weapon can be called down from your Super Destroyer during an operation to bring liberty to the galaxy.
The Railgun in Helldivers 2 is a Support Weapon that can be unlocked or found when completing an operation. Once unlocked, you can call it down as a stratagem from your Super Destroyer to aid you in combat. Alternatively, if an ally has it unlocked, they can call it down for you.
To use the Railgun, hold the trigger button on the right mouse button for mouse and keyboard players, or R2 for PlayStation users, and wait for the weapon to charge. Once charged, unleash the power of liberty against your foes and deal a significant amount of damage. It's important to note that the Railgun only has one magazine, so you'll need to reload it and insert a new battery after each shot. Despite this limitation, the Railgun has become a favorite weapon for many, especially when facing heavily armored enemies like the Bile Titan or the Hulk.
The Railgun has two settings: safe mode on and safe mode off. It's crucial to understand the difference between these two modes. When the Railgun is in safe mode, it operates normally. You charge it up, fire it at the target in front of you, and deal heavy damage. However, if you turn safe mode off, there is a risk of the Railgun exploding, potentially damaging nearby enemies. The Railgun only explodes if you hold the charge setting for too long.
While using the unsafe setting carries risks, as long as you remember to fire your Railgun after charging it, there's nothing to worry about. Many players have been using the Railgun with safe mode off and have found it to be highly effective in dealing damage to enemies.
Remember, the Railgun is a powerful weapon that can turn the tide of battle in your favor. Master its usage and make the most out of this incredible tool in Helldivers 2.
