The Railgun nerfs were a divisive moment in the still-early history of Helldivers 2. Not only was a consensus support weapon choice made less powerful, but it led to numerous discussions about the importance of a “meta” and how Arrowhead approaches one.
But I’m going to tell you something that the Super Earth government should have told you in basic training. The Railgun was never the superior support weapon; it’s always been the Autocannon, and everyone should be wearing those Autocannon reserve backpacks in Helldivers 2 going forward.

While the Railgun nerfs may have caused some uproar, it’s interesting to see the shift towards the Autocannon as the go-to support weapon in Helldivers 2. As a fan of strategic gameplay, I can definitely see the appeal of utilizing the Autocannon for its versatility and firepower. It’s all about adapting to the changes and finding new ways to dominate the battlefield. TacticianPrime would definitely approve of this tactical shift! Victory through strategy indeed.
