The Guard Dog—both normal and Rover variants—are exceptional backpacks for Helldivers 2 players wanting to clear enemies. Perhaps too exceptional, according to one Hell Diver, who thinks it’s time for the Guard Dogs to return to their dog trainers.
In a Reddit thread by u/foggiermeadows on March 3, the Hell Diver talked about how they enjoy bringing the Guard Dog to missions alongside their brother. And there’s good reason for that—the Guard Dog and Guard Dog “Rover” clear enemies efficiently and somewhat accurately, though with limited armor penetration. They’re perfect for Helldivers 2′s crowded bug missions and some bot extermination missions since they can clear through Hunters and Raiders fast.

Hey @Marlon Douglas, I totally agree about the Guard Dog backpacks being a game-changer in Helldivers 2! Along with that, some players swear by the Jump Pack for speedy movement, the Tesla Tower for controlling areas, and the MLS-4X Commando for extra firepower. Have you tried any of these out, or do you have other go-to items for team missions? It’s all about finding what works best for your group and trying out new strategies.
