A single weapon with enough ammo effectively turns all Helldivers into a “one-man army”

There are many schemes to choose from Helldiverse 2 but there is one that will make players extremely overpowered on the battlefield. The FAF-14 Spear is a homing anti-tank missile launcher that locks onto certain enemies. With enough ammo, players can easily take out enemy outposts and various enemies from a distance.

Although this weapon is extremely powerful, it works under certain circumstances. For example, the target must be fully visible in the crosshairs to lock on so walls or rocks prevent it from locking on to objects. Once launched, the missile is highly guaranteed to hit, regardless of how far away the players are.

Recently, a Reddit post in the r/Helldivers2 subreddit highlighted the FAF-14 Spear stratagem in Helldivers 2. This support weapon fires a homing anti-tank missile after locking on to a target, the annihilating on impact. However, this whole process requires a lot of patience as the Spear has difficulty targeting enemies. It can be unlocked using 9,000 Requisition Vouchers, but requires players to be at least level 20.

Players believe that with enough ammo, this weapon can turn a Helldiver into a “an armed man.» In a video clip shared by Reddit user GelindoMastroFornaio, we can see how effective this weapon is, especially against Automatons units. The call time for this Stratagem is 3 seconds while the cooldown is 480 seconds. It can be used an unlimited number of times on the battlefield, so players should have no difficulty completing missions with this stratagem.

Helldiverse 2 players avoid the Spear solely because of its targeting system. Players often find themselves in the middle of the battlefield trying to lock on to their targets, but it just doesn't seem to work. However, some players have stated that switching between first-person and third-person views can sometimes resolve this issue. Like many other stratagems in the game, players want Arrowhead to make this weapon more powerful.

The missile must be locked on before firing and if a wall or rock obstructs the weapon's view, it does not allow players to lock on. These are the enemies the FAF-14 Spear locks onto: Bot Fabricators, Parked Automaton Dropships, Gunships, Cannon Turrets, Stratagem Jammers (with fabricator only), Hulks, Annihilator and Shredder Tanks, Scout Striders, Factory Striders, Brood Commanders, Shriekers. , Stalkers (Uncloaked), Chargers and Bile Titans.

Helldiverse 2 is available on Windows and PlayStation 5.
