Helldivers 2's armoured bugs and terrifying tanks can crush you flat, but that's why I love them so

Helldivers 2 best weapons - Soldier with a rocket launcher.

Helldivers 2 has been out for just over a month now, and the conversations around the meta have lingered mostly on one particular issue: gee, those tanky enemies sure are a pain in the butt. 

In case you haven't been fighting for Super Earth, let me explain. Enemy armour in Helldivers 2 doesn't just reduce damage, it entirely nullifies it—if you're using the wrong gun, that is. Bullets will ricochet off your foes, laser cannons will spark gloriously against sheet metal and chitin, and you'll get a handy little reticle marker to let you know just how screwed you are.
