If you thought the Automatons were retreating, think again. They have fielded new flying machines calledGunshipsto patrol sensitive Automaton-controlled areas inHelldivers 2. Gunships are smaller versions of theAutomaton Dropships that supply reinforcementsbut are armed with machine gun turrets and rocket pods.
They use red scanners to detect movements. If an alarm is raised, all available Gunships (and other units) in the area will converge on your location. You need to know how to quickly dispatch them inHelldivers 2or else die from a barrage of bullets and rockets.
Gunships and their Facilities can be found in level 5 or higher missions on Automaton-controlled planets inHelldivers 2.
How to Destroy Gunships in Helldivers 2
Gunships are heavily armored, so your primary weapons are not going to be of any use.What you need are anti-tank weaponssuch as theRailgun in unsafe mode, theEAT-17, and obviously,the powerful Autocannon inHelldivers 2.
Any explosive support weapon will do the job in two to three shots. However, if you are wondering aboutthe best weapon to destroy Gunships with, that would be thenewly added Quasar Cannon inHelldivers 2. Its lack of backpack requirements, infinite ammo, and nearly infinite range make for a deadly combo against the flying Automaton machines.
Gunships are never alone. Always be ready to engage an entire fleet.
All you need is todestroy one of the engines with an explosive weaponjust as you do with the Automaton Dropships. ensure to stay clear of the trajectory of a crashing Gunship. You will be killed if hit by the wreck.
How to Destroy Gunship Facilities in Helldivers 2
Just like how you have todestroy Shrieker’s Nests inHelldivers 2, you must find and destroy Gunship Facilities to stop them from creating more Gunships. They can be spotted from miles away due to their large, towering design.
Each Gunship Facility can have either two or three fabricators, with each fabricator fielding a maximum of three Gunships. In other words, expect every Gunship Facility to be guarded by two to nine Gunships.
Make your way to the site and call in a Hellbomb todestroy the facility building inHelldivers 2. That is the only way to destroy them. Take note thatGunship Fabricators are immune to all weapons and stratagems. So do not waste a 500kg Bomb because your Eagle runs are going to do nothing.
Gunship Facilities take a lot of time to create new Gunships. Use that to your advantage by moving in as soon as you clear out the skies.
