Amidst the onslaught of the Automatons, players rarely get a moment of reprieve in Helldivers 2. The endless mayhem is only amplified by the unpredictable nature of certain enemies that can kill you from seemingly nowhere, and one player thinks they have a solution—but not everyone agrees.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, or so Reddit user TheLegendaryPilot believes. In a March 20 Reddit thread, the user offered a countermeasure for the Automaton rocket-launching robots that can blow you into smithereens from the other side of the map. What’s worse, there is no indicator of their aiming at you, so those deaths can be quite unpredictable and yet, as TheLegendaryPilot says, not unpreventable. “Simple laser sights on the Automaton’s rocket weaponry would solve a majority of the unreactable deaths on the western front,” the user wrote.
